Chapter 236 Try Your Best
As soon as the words fell, the seemingly normal atmosphere disappeared almost instantly.
But before Jiang Wan could see Guan Li's reaction, Ji Xingjing had already taken the umbrella from Cheng Li and led her into the community.
The night rain showed no sign of stopping until this moment, and the bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground recklessly. Jiang Wan was held in his arms, and she felt the force around her waist getting tighter and tighter, making her feel suffocated.
But she was feeling uneasy at heart and could clearly sense the danger signal. She also noticed that the man's other shoulder was already wet from the rain, so she stayed in his arms obediently until she was taken into the elevator.
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening and there were only a few people going up and down the stairs, so the elevator door quickly opened with a "ding" sound.
The person next to him loosened his arm at this time, and Jiang Wan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
But just as she was about to step out of the elevator, she was turned around by a force and stumbled back a few steps, leaning against the door.
She groaned subconsciously, and before she could react, Ji Xingjing's tall body had already covered her.
Both of them were already familiar enough with each other's bodies, so the moment their lips and tongues touched, the kiss became almost uncontrollable, from shallow to deep, and finally to intense.
The man's big hand grasped the back of her head and found her tongue tip, stirring and sucking her deeply as if he wanted to eat her into his stomach.
It was no longer as passionate as last night. This kiss was too fierce, leaving Jiang Wan no room to struggle. Even her two whimpers were sucked into his mouth.
The panting and sucking sounds in the closed space became increasingly louder. Jiang Wan's body quickly became so limp that she slid down, but the man grabbed her waist and held her up, kissing her even deeper.
She was forced to raise her face to endure his kiss, and could only let him do whatever he wanted, even letting him unlock the door without her knowing it, using his fingerprints.
She finally managed to escape from the airtight invasion and plunder, but was picked up by Ji Xingjing with one hand and sat on the half-height entrance cabinet.
The man pressed his palms on both sides of her and leaned over to bury his head in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily.
I don't know how long it took before I heard the man's hoarse voice: "What did you do when you went out tonight?"
Jiang Wan's scalp tightened and he regained his senses almost instantly.
She took a deep breath and met his deep gaze that seemed to swallow her up. After a long while, she steadied her voice and asked, "Do you believe everything I say?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Xingjing's thin lips curled up slightly, and he sneered self-deprecatingly: "Hasn't it been long since you fooled me?"
Jiang Wan clenched her fingertips, speechless and angry at his question, but thinking that there was no need to hide what happened tonight, she still said in a low voice: "Whether you believe it or not, nothing special happened tonight."
"I met Secretary Guan after having dinner with a few classmates at a restaurant. He asked me if I wanted to say hello to Director Xie, so I went. After saying hello, Director Xie asked Secretary Guan to take me back. During the trip... nothing inappropriate happened."
Nothing really happened, so she was actually quite confident this time.
However, Ji Xingjing's eyes still darkened, and his tone became even more depressing, making people breathless.
"Jiang Wan, have I ever told you that you can do whatever you want, but you must stay away from some people and don't overdo it?"
Unexpectedly, the only response he got this time was silence.
The girl stared at him for a few seconds, but without even arguing, she just lowered her head and said nothing.
When Ji Xingjing lifted her face again, he met her wet and red eyes.
His eyes dimmed, and he instantly lost his temper and felt a headache at the same time, "But you are so aggrieved after I said a few words to you. Why do you only use this squeamishness on me? Huh?"
Jiang Wan turned her head away without even looking at him, her tone was even more aggrieved than her tears: "You only know how to be mean to me, how have I ever gone too far? I'm not you, who can do anything without considering the consequences..."
"It's you who can't bear to rely on me." Ji Xingjing interrupted her in a deep voice.
But looking at her tear-stained face, his throat rolled slightly, and he hugged her again, lowered his head and kissed the top of her soft head: "I have said so many times that I support you, which time did you listen to me?"
"You have my phone number. If you don't want to go, no one can force you to go. But ask yourself, is it really all because you have no choice?"
Jiang Wan's thick eyelashes trembled, and she opened her lips, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. She was silent for a long time before she said in a muffled voice: "Now that I've greeted you and taken the car, it's no use for you to pursue me any further."
The person in my arms looks so pitiful, but all that comes out of her little mouth are irritating words.
His eyes became increasingly gloomy, and he wished he could teach this troublemaker a lesson.
But he just couldn't bear to see her tearful eyes, even though he knew that most of the time she showed weakness but it was not from the heart, he didn't really want to do anything to her, but just held her waist tightly with all his strength and held her tightly in his arms.
"The more you do what I tell you not to do, the more you say things I don't want to hear. Since you don't take me seriously, shouldn't I be the one crying?"
Jiang Wan's eyes stagnated slightly, but he knew to stop while he was ahead, and asked in a low voice: "So what do you want?"
Ji Xingjing's eyes lingered on her face for a few seconds, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he slowly stood up and sat down on the sofa under her stunned gaze.
He casually crossed his long legs, his arms draped loosely over the armrests, and stared at her without blinking, whispering, "If I remember correctly, you still owe me a request."
Require?
Jiang Wan hadn't reacted at first, but the moment they looked at each other, his brows suddenly furrowed, as if he suddenly remembered something.
Yes, she did owe Ji Xingjing a request.
In the live broadcast room.
Ji Xingjing had actually indirectly pointed out last night that he was J, and what J said at the time was... to ask her next time.
After recalling it, she inevitably felt a little complicated. After a long while, she said, "Then tell me, what is your request?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, many possibilities flashed through Jiang Wan's mind, such as severing ties with Shao Ting, or never having anything to do with Xie Shiqian again, and so on.
However, to her complete surprise, the man simply kept her in his sight and said two words in a calm and steady voice: "Coax me."
Jiang Wan's breathing froze, and he was stunned for a rare moment: "You...what is this request..."
Ji Xingjing's tone was unusually dull: "If you don't want to coax me, I don't mind changing to something else."
But after a two-second pause, he stopped looking at her and turned his gaze to the thick and wet rain outside the French window. His voice was extremely hoarse: "Jiang Wan, this is just a trivial request from me. Are you stingy with this?"
Perhaps it was because the man's tone was unusually dejected, Jiang Wan felt his heart tighten and his throat inexplicably dry.
The fact is just as the man said, this request is really nothing.
After an unknown amount of time of silence, Jiang Wan finally got up from the entrance cabinet, walked slowly to Ji Xingjing and sat down.
The man still didn't look at her, but Jiang Wan's heart trembled inexplicably. After a long while, she pursed her lips and gently pulled the sleeve of his black shirt, saying softly, "I'm not stingy, don't be unhappy."
Seeing that the man seemed still indifferent, she gritted her teeth, and slowly lowered her slender white fingertips to gently hook his index finger and shook it: "I promise, I will try my best to remember your words in the future."
Although the word "try as much as possible" was used too subtly, Ji Xingjing knew her so well that he almost knew everything about her thoughts. However, just these two sentences were enough to benefit him.
His eyes finally fell back on her face, staring at her soft and clean little face for a moment, and said in a faint tone: "Really?"
Jiang Wan didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but after being asked this question, he felt inexplicably guilty.
But before she could answer, she heard the man say, "Whether it's true or not, I'm not satisfied with your way of coaxing people."
Jiang Wan was reluctant again, "Ji Xingjing, you are not allowed to push your luck..."
Ji Xingjing's eyes were exceptionally calm: "Treat people in different ways."
"You always say I'm an asshole, but how could an asshole like this kind of coaxing?"
Jiang Wan frowned and subconsciously asked, "Then how are you going to coax her?"
The moment the words came out of her mouth, her eyelids jumped, and she finally realized something. But before she even had time to regret it, she heard a man's slow voice in her ears.
"Come up."
As if he didn't notice her instantly flushed face and her eyes full of shame and anger, he slowly lifted her face, and when his nose was almost touching hers, he opened his lips word by word: "Didn't you say that I was mean to you?"
"I promise, I'll go slower this time. The more pitifully you cry, the slower I'll go. How about that?"
