Chapter 1465 - 1465 Worry
1465 Worry
No matter what Chu Man thought, she did not expect Yu Qian to reject the entire cooperation because of Xia Wanyuan’s words.
“Boss K, are you joking with me?? Aren’t you taking me too lightly??” Chu Man felt that Yu Qian was looking down on her. Her eyes were filled with anger.
Yu Qian was very calm. He looked at Xia Wanyuan beside him. “Didn’t you hear what my wife said? She feels that it’s not suitable. I’ve always listened to her.”
Hearing Yu Qian’s words, everyone present was stunned. Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Yu Qian. There was no expression in Yu Qian’s cold eyes. Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s gaze, the corners of Yu Qian’s lips twitched. “What’s wrong?”
Xia Wanyuan retracted her gaze. “It’s nothing.”
Behind Yu Qian, Chu Man’s gaze landed on Xia Wanyuan’s back.
The news of Madam Jun Shiling’s disappearance had long spread throughout the world. Now, there was suddenly a woman beside Yu Qian. Furthermore, even though this woman was wearing a mask, she could not hide her bearing. It really made one have to think more.
Yu Qian was famous for being ruthless. Chu Man guessed that this woman who suddenly appeared beside him was Jun Shiling’s wife, but why would Yu Qian let Jun Shiling’s woman follow him so easily?
Chu Man did not stop them anymore. She quietly watched Yu Qian and Xia Wanyuan leave. When their backs completely disappeared from the sea, Chu Man got someone to call Xia Wei over.
“You know that person??” Chu Man looked at Xia Wei, her eyes changing unpredictably. When Xia Wei handed Xia Wanyuan the teacup just now, although Xia Wanyuan had hidden it very well, Chu Man could still see the emotions in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. That gaze clearly indicated that she and Xia Wei knew each other.
Xia Wei stood upright in front of Chu Man, neither servile nor overbearing. He shook his head. “No.”
“Really?” Displeasure appeared in Chu Man’s eyes. “The way you look at her doesn’t seem like you don’t know her.”
“She looks a little like a deceased sister of mine,” Xia Wei said with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Just now, in order not to let others discover his emotions, Xia Wei had specially not looked at Xia Wanyuan. He had only taken a quick glance. Now, Xia Wei felt a little regretful.
If he had known that Chu Man would notice, he would not have deliberately hidden it and would have taken another look at Xia Wanyuan. He had only taken a cursory glance just now. He felt that Xia Wanyuan seemed to have lost some weight compared to his impression.
Chu Man looked at Xia Wei for a while. Seeing that the sorrow on him did not seem fake, she waved her hand. “Stop dreaming. She’s Boss K’s favorite. The next time you look at her like this, I can’t guarantee that I can protect you.”
“Okay.” Xia Wei hesitated for a moment but could not help but ask, “That Boss K looks a little difficult to get along with.”
Chu Man narrowed her eyes slightly. “Why? Are you worried about others? You’re already my man. Are you concerned about other women in front of me?”
Xia Wei’s eyes flickered. “I’m sorry, I just thought of my sister.”
“My people didn’t find out your background.” Chu Man lit a cigarette and blew gently. “You have a sister??”
“Mm.” Xia Wei nodded. “I don’t know why I’m in the desert. I can remember that I have a sister, but I forgot about the rest.”
What Xia Wei said was the truth. Chu Man looked at him quietly for a while and confirmed that he was right, so she did not ask further. He was just a plaything to accompany her to begin with. Chu Man did not care about his background.
“Aren’t you very good at telling stories? Accompany me.” Chu Man leaned back in her chair, her eyes rolling slightly with endless charm.
Xia Wei sat beside Chu Man and began to tell her those strange stories.
The night gradually enveloped them. The sea breeze gently blew Chu Man’s clothes.
Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes fluttered gently.
Xia Wei’s gaze landed on Chu Man’s face, dark and gloomy.
Chu Man was a woman he had never seen before. She was vicious, unrestrained, and unpredictable. Almost no one could guess her thoughts.
However, sometimes, Xia Wei felt that Chu Man was a little fragile. Just like now, when she lay quietly, she did not have the domineering aura of conquering everything. She was so soft that it made one want to pity her.
As if sensing Xia Wei’s gaze on her face, Chu Man closed her eyes and said, “You’re the first person who dares to stare at me like this. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll dig out your eyes?”
Xia Wei restrained the emotions in his eyes and smiled gently. “I just thought you were very good-looking, so I took a few more glances.”
Chu Man opened her eyes and met Xia Wei’s black jade-like eyes. There was no fear, flattery, or fear in those eyes. There was only calm admiration.
Chu Man watched quietly for a while, then closed her eyes. “You’re sweet. Continue.”
A hint of darkness flashed across Xia Wei’s eyes. He knew that he had already passed the first round with Chu Man.
He did not know the entire world well enough yet. He needed to gain everyone’s trust as soon as possible, then think about how to bring Xia Wanyuan back from that person just now.
According to the news he had seen, Xia Wanyuan should be a celebrity in China, but the Xia Wanyuan he had just seen was beside a very dangerous man.
As Xia Wei told Chu Man a story, his mind raced as he thought about how to become Chu Man’s trusted aide in the shortest time possible.
On the other hand, Yu Qian was handling documents in the cabin. Seeing that the night was getting darker, Yu Qian put down the documents and walked out of the cabin.
On the deck not far away, Xia Wanyuan leaned on the railing, thinking about something.
Yu Qian walked over. “That man just now is your younger brother??”
Xia Wei and Xia Wanyuan were too similar. Be it his facial features or temperament, they seemed to be carved from the same mold, so Yu Qian could tell at a glance.
Xia Wanyuan knew that she could not hide it from Yu Qian. She nodded. “Mm, he’s my lost younger brother.”
“It’s not that easy to get him out of Chu Man’s hands.” Although Chu Man was a woman, she could build her own world in an environment surrounded by wolves. This woman’s ruthlessness even surpassed most men. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to get someone who had entered her territory out.
Hearing Yu Qian’s words, Xia Wanyuan turned to look at him. “I know.”
She was not worried about Xia Wei’s safety. After all, she knew Xia Wei well. The Xia Wei she had seen on the ship today had already hidden all his sharpness. He had been raised by her alone. Xia Wanyuan knew that Xia Wei had his own plans. She was just wondering why Xia Wei had appeared in this world.
Other than Xia Wei and I, is there anyone else?
