Sensing that Xia Wan's body was stiff, Gao Jian regretfully retracted his hand, and silently cursed himself in his heart.

Considering that Xia Wan was still stuck in the shadow of their relationship, Gao Jian felt that he couldn't rush it and forced Xia Wan to explain, "I thought that you left behind a side effect when you got into that car accident, but you scared me. Otherwise, I would have had to leave a stain on my back for the rest of my life, you know."

Xia Wan could not tell whether Gao Jian was hiding it or telling the truth, but she was currently unable to accept anyone's feelings as a gift, so she had to take it seriously, and could only take it seriously.

The temporarily awkward feeling disappeared and the muddleheaded Xia Wan, after experiencing the effects of running away from Ji Yun, looked tired and dispirited.

Bringing Xia Wan home, Gao Jian wanted to say something but he hesitated. It was as if he wanted to ask what was wrong.

Understanding Gao Jian's confusion, after a long period of silence, Xia Wan finally spoke as if she was talking to herself, "Your cousin is Ji Yun, right? I know him. He's my husband's buddy, so do you know why I hid in the toilet? "

With shock in his eyes, Gao Jian found it hard to believe and confirmed: "You know my cousin? Did he not recognize you today? "

Shaking his head, Xia Wan laughed at himself: "How could I let him recognize me? The moment I spotted him, I immediately went into hiding."

Not knowing what to say to comfort her, Gao Jian couldn't understand what kind of person Xia Wan's husband was to cause him to be so afraid.

"Cousin is on good terms with me. Even if he knows about it, he wouldn't …"

Without waiting for Gao Jian to finish speaking, Xia Wan interrupted him with a frightened look in her eyes, "No! Gao Jian, I beg of you, please do not mention me to your cousin, just treat it as you never knowing me! "

The confusion in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper. Gao Jian scratched his head, wanting to continue pursuing the matter, but he was afraid of piercing Xia Wan's sore spot.

"Xia Wan, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Hiding like this isn't a good thing either. One day, you will have to face him, no? If you are afraid of him, I am willing to accompany you. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to touch you. "

The corner of Xia Wan's mouth raised slightly. She was grateful that Gao Jian was able to protect her, but things were not as she had imagined.

"Gao Jian, actually, it's not that I'm afraid of him, but in the beginning, I hid one thing from you. I may never be able to get rid of this marriage. "

Without meeting Ji Yun, Xia Wan might not be able to remember the contract, but the heavens would always give her a fatal blow when she relaxed.

If Tang Shaofeng was not willing to let go, then she would be his subordinate for the rest of her life.

After hearing Xia Wan's confession, Gao Jian's heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

So it turns out that this matter was even more troublesome than he had thought. How should he help Xia Wan?

After pondering for a long time, Gao Jian felt that he did not have a clue.

At first, he thought that with his protection, Xia Wan would be able to easily end his life of hiding and hiding. But now, for the first time in his life, he felt that he was useless.

Unable to help Xia Wan, unable to come up with a constructive plan, Xia Wan felt extremely nervous.

"Gao Jian, can you help me ask for a leave of absence from the company? I can't show my face until Ji Yun returns to Zhenjiang City!"

Nodding his head, Gao Jian immediately agreed, "This is a small matter, I was afraid that people would talk too much, because my relationship with them mentioned you in front of them."

Xia Wan was startled, hearing Gao Jian's words, she became even more worried.

Realizing that he couldn't bring himself to bring up the subject, Gao Jian wished that he could slap himself in the face.

The atmosphere in the apartment became gloomy. At this moment, the ringing of the phone made it particularly noisy.

Picking up the call, Gao Jian finished listening to the orders from the other side. He frowned, and looked at his with conflict in his eyes: "Xia Wan will not be going to the gathering, she is not feeling well, and needs to rest."

"There will be plenty of chances in the future. Hmm, I understand."

Looking at Gao Jian's vexed face as he hung up the phone, Xia Wan asked suspiciously: "Is it auntie and the others?"

"Yes, Ji Yun is back. We have a gathering at home, my mom wants me to bring you to it."

He just heard from his own ears that Gao Jian had already rejected her offer, so Xia Wan didn't need to worry.

But Xia Wan would not appear, and Gao Jian's number of times he had gone home could be counted with his fingers. If he did not go, who knew what kind of appearance the elders of his family would make.

However, he was not good at lying, he was afraid that Ji Yun would already know of Xia Wan's existence, and resist to face her.

But for Xia Wan's sake, he had to scout out Ji Yun's mouth. To him, this kind of roundabout way of mission was too challenging.

At 8 o'clock sharp in the evening, Gao Jian arrived at the best hotel in town alone. As soon as he entered the private room, he found Ji Yun chatting and joking with his elders.

"Xiao Jian, you're here." Ji Yun smiled gently and took the initiative to greet Gao Jian.

But Gao Jian was guilty, he averted his gaze and pretended to be unhappy as he grumbled: "Cousin brother, how old am I? Can you not call me Xiao Jian?"

"Haha, that's right, we're all going to get married soon."

Being teased by Ji Yun, Gao Jian's expression became even more awkward. He then muttered: "You haven't even gotten married yet, what's there to be anxious about?"

The corner of Ji Yun's mouth twitched, the smile on his face did not decrease, but no matter how one looked at it, his harmless eyes were filled with Evil Qi, "Xiao Jian, you are young and orderly, how dare you make fun of your cousin?"

Ji Yun's voice was neither loud nor low, but it just happened to reach the ears of the Gauguin.

As expected, when Gauguin heard that Gao Jian was impudent, he immediately shot him a sharp look, "Stinky brat! Your cousin is older than you, why do you tease him? It's really a waste! "

Hearing that, Gao Jian's face darkened, but he could only obediently lower his head, "Cousin brother, you are only two years older than me, is there a need for me to respect you so much?"

Hearing Gao Jian's faint retort, Ji Yun's smile didn't shine at all. He was the same as when he was young, agile and crafty;

Originally, Gao Jian thought that this family gathering would be very torturous, so he avoided chatting with Ji Yun.

Fortunately, there were no accidents during this period of time. It was as if Ji Yun did not know anything regarding Xia Wan.

Perhaps, in Manager Chen's opinion, giving Xia Wan a position was a small matter that was not worth mentioning, and he did not report to Ji Yun.

In short, Gao Jian, who had successfully covered Xia Wan, felt a sense of relief after leaving the hotel.

As he was busy with work, Ji Yun was not able to stay in Le Hong Kong for long. He returned to Zhenjiang City two days later.

When he was going to Xinglong Hotel for the social gathering, he coincidentally bumped into Tang Shaofeng who was also there for the social gathering.

Although they were good friends and appreciated each other, they rarely got together because they were busy lighting up and heating up in their respective fields.

As their gazes met, Tang Shaofeng and Ji Yun nodded and smiled. After sending away the customers, they all stayed in the hotel in tacit understanding.

Quickly getting up, Ji Yun smiled handsomely and walked towards his good brother, "It's been so long since I've seen you, you have changed."

"Aren't you the same? Your mouth is getting worse." Tang Shaofeng was not very interested, and forced a smile.

Knowing why Tang Shaofeng was sad, Ji Yun stopped smiling and asked with concern in his eyes: "Is there still no news from Xia Wan?"

Shaking his head, Tang Shaofeng's eyes looked painful as the corners of his mouth raised upwards, "No, it's as if she has disappeared from the world. Ji Yun, tell me, if you could still help me, how nice would it be … … just like when you helped me trick her into marriage …."

Remembering the past, Tang Shaofeng lamented with wild imagination. In the end, even he felt that it was laughable, and his gaze turned sour and bitter as he pursed his lips.

Looking at Tang Shaofeng who had suffered such a setback, Ji Yun was somewhat astonished and at a loss, but mostly he felt his heart ache.

He had never seen Tang Shaofeng in such discouragement and despair, nor had he ever experienced such unforgettable love before. Therefore, he did not understand how it felt to lose a lover, but he could tell how uncomfortable it was for Tang Shaofeng to feel and completely suppress himself.

"Brother, if it's possible, I'm willing to help you again." Patting Tang Shaofeng's shoulder, Ji Yun frowned slightly, infected by the other party's sorrowful emotions.

After the two of them parted ways, Ji Yun returned to his office. Upon thinking about how his good bro was being hurt by his feelings, he couldn't bear to watch on helplessly.

As for wanting to help Tang Shaofeng, he wasn't just saying that. The other party's house had not been peaceful recently. Ji Yun knew about Xiao Hui's car accident.

Thus, he took out his phone, wanting to use his network to help search for Xia Wan.

However, just as he was thinking about who to contact, an image appeared in his mind without any warning — in Le Hong Town, he had gone to the branch office to inspect the work. Just as he was about to step into the hall, he saw a beautiful figure quickly scurrying into the bathroom.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the other party's words. He only thought that the other party might have been anxious internally. Now that he thought about it, this person seemed a little strange ….

The details of the plan determined the outcome. This was Ji Yun's motto, which was why he had always maintained his meticulous observation skills.

He felt that this member of the company was suspicious. Regardless of whether this had anything to do with what he was investigating, he did not want to ignore it.

Since he felt that something was wrong, he quickly called the branch's subordinate.

"Senior Chen, on the day I go back to the branch office, who was that girl that suddenly rushed into the washroom?"

"Oh!" Are you talking about the girl that Young Master Gao arranged to enter? Her name is Xia Wan, I only know that she is not a local. She doesn't have any proof of identity, I don't know about other things. What? CEO, do you need to interrogate her? "But she seems to be Young Master Gao's girlfriend, I heard that the two of them already cohabiting."

He never thought that when the blind cat met a dead mouse, it would really be hit by him. The moment Ji Yun heard Xia Wan's name, he felt that even the heavens were looking after his good bro.

But the more it was done, the more difficult it was to describe his expression, it was just a few simple words, covering a lot of information, to the point that the usually calm Ji Yun was unable to react at all.

"CEO? Is there anything else you'd like to know? "

Coming back to his senses, Ji Yun's eyes were still filled with shock and suspicion, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? The other party's name was Xia Wan? Summer's day, sweet and gentle? "

"That's right, CEO. I'm definitely not mistaken!"
