Chapter 396: Chapter 396, Han Jingnian, do you like me? (2)_1

Actually, what she wanted to say wasn’t thank you. What she wanted to say was: Han Jingnian, do you like me?

She was just a little bit, a tiny bit, away from spilling out these words.

But at the last minute, she swallowed them back in.

His concern and worry were genuine when she pretended to fall just now. She noticed all his little gestures and actions around her lately. She could clearly feel his changing behavior... She had wondered more than once if he had started to like her and that was the reason why he was treating her so well. But she didn’t dare confirm it.

She was just scared... Because she liked him a lot, a whole lot, she didn’t even have the courage to gamble on it.

...

By Thursday, Xia Wan’an, already able to walk normally in her flat shoes, still made Han Jingnian feel as if she was heavily injured. He forcefully sent her home to rest, after their return to Beijing, before heading to the office to work.

On Thursday night, before going to sleep, Han Zhijin posted a message in the group chat "Unmerciful Playboy": "I have a surprise for you."

Xia Wan’an and Song Youman popped up almost simultaneously with identical question marks "?" in response.

Han Zhijin: "Did you two plan this together? Even your messages are like twins."

Xia Wan’an and Song Youman again replied simultaneously, with identical messages: "None of your business."

Han Zhijin:"..."

Three seconds later, two more messages popped up in the group chat, once again from Song Youman and Xia Wan’an: "True besties."

Han Zhijin:"......"

Han Zhijin had to forcibly steer the conversation back to the topic at hand: "You’ll find out about my surprise tomorrow night."

Xia Wan’an: "Buzz off."

At the same time, Song Youman: "Buzz off."

Han Zhijin: "..."

Han Zhijin: "I feel like I am superfluous in this group."

The group chat was silent. Neither Xia Wan’an nor Song Youman paid any more attention to Han Zhijin.

...

On Friday, before receiving Han Zhijin’s so-called good news, Xia Wan’an went to attend a banquet.

The banquet was a welcoming party for Chi Mu, originally scheduled for a month ago today. However, for some reason, it was postponed by a month.

Chi Mu’s welcome party started at eight o’clock in the evening, located at a villa of the Chi family.

When Xia Wan’an arrived at the banquet with Han Jingnian, it was already past eight o’clock.

Both inside and outside the building were beautifully decorated, lights shining brightly, music and dancing filled the air.

Xia Wan’an, arm in arm with Han Jingnian, was immediately greeted by some quick-eyed people seconds after they stepped through the villa gate.

Almost everyone invited by Chi Mu was acquainted with Han Jingnian. It took them nearly half an hour to greet everyone.

Worried about Xia Wan’an’s recently healed foot injury, Han Jingnian found a quiet place for her to sit down as soon as they had some free time. She was wearing high heels after all.

However, Han Jingnian didn’t sit with Xia Wan’an for long before he was invited by someone to discuss some matters. Before leaving, he reassured Xia Wan’an, "Wait for me here." Nevertheless, he also asked Zhang Te to keep an extra eye on Xia Wan’an.

Being left alone, Xia Wan’an was enjoying the peace. As she listened to the pleasant violin music and played with her phone for a while, Han Jingnian just finished his business conversation and was walking towards her. She only lifted her head and glanced at the bustling party in front of her when her eyes grew tired.

However, someone stopped Han Jingnian just when he was about to approach her.
