Chapter Thirty-Eight What does a little pain matter?

g"She naturally understood that Jiang Qifeng was doing this for her own good, but with one Jiang Qingran already pushing her into hell, she didn't want to get involved with Jiang Qifeng anymore, wheth...His gaze was too oppressive,向晚 tensed her spine and stood up straight, "I'm sorry" 。Her movements were a bit more pronounced, her cheongsam's slit swaying back and forth, her round and long legs captivating hearts. 。She had a very noticeable scar on her leg, but the scar wasn't ugly at all. Instead, it complemented the patterns on her cheongsam, adding a touch of allure to her. 。Several pairs of eyes were fixed on her, their gazes direct and unflinching. 。He lifted his wine glass, and a hint of darkness crept into his eyes. 。He leaned back on the sofa, his legs crossed, and said coldly, "Get out." 。This new girl is just clueless, she has to squeeze herself into every spot she shouldn't. 。Here, there's plenty of space. Come sit over here. 。Someone smiled and patted the sofa. 。"Haha... It's rare to see Mr. Liu showing mercy and kindness, be careful your wife finds out, you might end up scrubbing the floor at home..." 。"To die beneath the peony blossoms, even as a ghost, is a flamboyant affair!" He looked at Xiang Wan with a piercing gaze. His thin lips were pressed into a tight line, his eyes dark and unreadable. 。"Thank you, Mr. Liu, but no need." 。"向晚 suppressed her humiliation, forcing a smile. "Maybe General He doesn't like me sitting beside him. I can just stand here." 。"Mr. Liu, are you being rejected" someone laughed 。 Liu Zong smiled and said helplessly, "Oh well, there's no way. He Ge is a young talent with great charm, I'm just not as good! This is also good, so I don't have to kneel on the washboard when I go home." 。Everyone burst into laughter, and the conversation quickly returned to work. 。He hadn't made A-Wan leave, but he also didn't look at her again, treating her as if she were invisible. 。Everyone was chatting and laughing, discussing business matters. He only occasionally said a word or two; the rest of the time he sat quietly. 。Even so, no one dared to ignore him. Although everyone appeared to be chatting casually, they would often glance at him, and if they felt something was amiss, they would quickly change the subject. 。"To have General He here today is truly an honor for us. I raise a toast to General He and everyone!" Someone stood up, smiling as they raised their glass to He Hanchuan and the others. 。Others also stood up, raising their glasses to clink. 。He Jianchuan stood up last, raised his glass and touched it to everyone's. 。“General He has a poor tolerance for alcohol, I’ll drink this for you.” Let me know if you need anything else translated! 。"向晚 curled her lips into a smile and whispered." 。Everyone was stunned, looking at her with expressions of confusion. 。This princess, is she going to drink for General He He Hanchuan lowered his eyes and looked at Xiang Wan, after a moment, he picked up the wine bottle and poured some more into the cup, handing it to her 。The red liquid rippled gently in the highball glass, mesmerizingly beautiful. 。向晚 sipped her wine, took the cup without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp. 。"What a great drinker, such a beauty!" someone clapped and laughed mischievously. "Come on, have another drink!" 。The expensive red wine snaked down the side of the glass, its aroma spreading throughout the room. The high-footed glasses, which had been emptied only recently, were quickly refilled. 。Towards the end, she leaned back and took a sip of her red wine, glancing sideways at He Hanchuan. 。He sat on the sofa, his handsome face shrouded in shadow, his expression unreadable. However, it was clear that he wasn't looking at her. 。She twitched her lips, gave a self-deprecating smile, picked up the red wine and gestured to a few executives with it, then took a gulp of the wine and its bitterness. 。He crossed his legs, switching their order. He rested his left hand on his knee, catching a glimpse of the empty wine glass in Xiangwan's hand. 。He frowned very slightly, then quickly looked away. 。"I like it this way, it's refreshing!" "It is refreshing, but such a good wine to drink like this, it's a shame." 。"Don't say those depressing things, let's clink glasses again." 。" A-wei stood in the center of these men, whose ages could be her fathers, with a strained smile. She raised her cup once more. 。Her stomach was already feeling uneasy, but she didn't hesitate for a moment and drank it again. 。As long as she could please He Hanchuan and get him to show mercy and let her go, this pain was nothing. Seeing her smiling and drinking cup after cup of wine that the man handed over, He Hanchuan raised his hand and loosened his tie, but the tightness in his chest didn't ease at all. 。He lowered his head and pulled out a cigarette, tucking it between his slender index finger and middle finger. The fine quality suit showed irregular wrinkles where it bunched from bending over. 。"Let me light one for you." 。"Bearing the burning in her stomach, Xiang Wan walked to He Hanchuan's side and squatted down. She picked up the gold-plated lighter from the table, struck it, and gently held it under his cigarette." 。Her eyes reflected dancing golden flames, she looked up at him, vivid and yet no longer the defiant Miss Xiang. 。He lowered his gaze to look at her, paused for a moment, then brought the cigarette to his lips, took a puff, and exhaled a plume of smoke. 。>> 。As soon as he finished smoking and raised his glass to take a drink, she immediately bent down and picked up the bottle, carefully pouring him some wine. 。As for the other few people whether they wanted to smoke or drink, it had nothing to do with her, and she never went forward 。Several others burst into laughter, saying that Hoshino only had eyes for He Hanchuan. 。After some time, several people left one after another. Only Hoshinova and He Hanchuan remained in the room. 。"Even a cleaner isn't at ease, still finds time to seduce people, Xiang Wan, you are truly despicable." 。He stared at her cheongsam, which was almost down to her thighs, his voice as cold as ice. 。 “You misunderstood me” 。"My stomach ached like it was being scraped and burned with fire. Xiangwan wiped the sweat from her forehead and lowered her eyes, meekly saying, “The manager asked me to return to my original work post.” 。" Despicable... she remembered him saying she was promiscuous before, in his eyes, she truly was unbearable. 。He furrowed his brows, said nothing more, and walked past her. 。When he reached the door, he stopped and said, "If you have a stomach problem, don't drink alcohol." 。"

向晚's hand paused on her stomach, her fingertips trembling slightly. " 。He... was he concerned for her She turned to look at his back. Before she could even utter the word "thank you," he said coldly, "I don't want to hear anything about the Dream Institute abusing employees to death." 。After saying that, he strode out of the door. 。 The atmosphere felt frigid in an instant, contrasting sharply with the warming spring breeze. Her heart ached at the sight of the empty doorway. Even her limbs grew cold. 。She rubbed her slightly dizzy head, chuckled wryly to herself, had she drunk too much To actually be drunk enough to think he would care about her. 。

The corridor >>> 。The light purple floral qipao with a high slit kept replaying in He Hanchuan's mind. His heart was inexplicably agitated by the glimpse of her long, alluring thighs that occasionally appeared and disappeared. 。I can't say if it was anger or something else, but I just felt that the cheongsam looked especially eye-catching today, and... this wasn't the first time he had feelings for Xiangwan. 。He loosened his tie and quickened his pace. As he passed the manager's office, he inadvertently heard a male voice coming from inside—"I recently got a new item. I don't know if Mr. Yang is interested Well, a jade pendant, Ming Dynasty. I want to show it to you." 。" He slowed his pace, the sight of A-wai's empty neck from earlier tonight flashing in his mind. " 。He tilted his head to glance at the door, which had a sliver of light peeking through. He paused for a moment, then pushed it open and went inside. 。Please remember the book's first release domain:. 。
