"Qinqin, take your bag and let's go." Xia Wan'er didn't even look at Qiao Mingye, she turned around and went to get her bag.
But she didn't expect that Ran Qin, who had always responded to her calls, didn't respond to her words immediately.
When she took her bag and turned around, he and Qiao Mingye were the only ones left in the room, and even the door was "considerately" closed by someone unknown.
When Xia Wan'er saw Qiao Mingye's handsome face, she was so angry that her nose started to turn sour.
She didn't know what she was angry about, nor did she know how to face him, so she just tried to ignore it and not be upset.
Qiao Mingye was standing by the door, and said calmly, "We need to talk."
"I have nothing to talk to you about." Xia Wan'er said with a cold face, walking past him and trying to open the door.
Qiao Mingye reached out to grab the door handle, but unexpectedly Xia Wan'er defensively avoided his hand, quickly took a step back, and stared at him nervously, as if he would do something to hurt her.
Such a Xia Wan'er deeply hurt his eyes.
He suddenly felt a little dry in his throat. He withdrew his hand and said, "Don't you already know..."
"Know what? Do you know that all this is just a scheme to lure Shangguan Yun in?" Xia Wan'er interrupted him and said.
"Yeah." Qiao Mingye nodded. He had already given Xia Wan'er a hint with his eyes when she took the knife, suggesting that she just needed to delay time. Xia Wan'er had clearly responded. Their cooperation was seamless.
Xia Wan'er frowned and looked at him with amusement. After a long while, she spoke: "Mr. Qiao, you think too much. How long have I known you? I am not a worm in your stomach. Why should I understand your plan and cooperate with you just by looking at you? Or do you think that we are chess pieces in your hands, unable to escape from your Five Fingers Mountain, and can be controlled by you at will, so the process does not matter, and it does not matter whether we are told or not, as long as you are satisfied with the result?"
Yes, she understood the hint in his eyes. She didn't know why she understood it, but she was still very annoyed. He needed her cooperation, but why couldn't he tell him in advance? Why did he have to wait until this critical moment to -
God knows, she was really prepared to burn herself to death with that knife.
Ultimately, it's a question of trust.
Qiao Mingye was left speechless by Xia Wan'er's words. He originally thought that with Xia Wan'er's intelligence, he wouldn't need to say anything more, but he didn't expect that she would need to talk to him first.
He had never seen her with such an expression. Her little face was pale and her eyes were sparkling as if they contained thousands of words. She was like a wounded kitten, in a guarded posture, full of defense and hostility towards people.
He couldn't help but reach out to touch her cheek and tell her that he was wrong.
However, before he could extend his hand, he heard Xia Wan'er mocking herself: "I don't care. After all, I have thought about using you before. It's understandable that you don't care about my feelings."
Qiao Mingye was about to deny it, but then he heard her sneering at him, "But what about Ran Qin? How has she ever offended you? Do you want to include her in your scheme? Do you know that your scheme has put her in Shangguan Rong's sight for no reason? If she is retaliated against by Shangguan Rong one day, will you be at peace with yourself?!"
"Wan Wan."
This was the first time that Qiao Mingye called Xia Wan'er in such a serious tone.
Xia Wan'er was angry and was a little dazed when she heard it. She looked up and saw the guilt in his eyes, which seemed to show a bit of grievance.
"I'm sorry I didn't consider your feelings."
