Tan Yan still couldn't figure out why his former self suddenly hated Jiang Ximeng.

But after all, she was the girl he had watched grow up, and no matter what, he could not let her go to the airport alone in the middle of the night.

Then he called her and asked Uncle Zhang to come over.

A distinguished black business car drove towards the airport.

In the car, Jiang Ximeng was still playing cartoons with four voices, because President Tan next to him began to close his eyes and rest again.

“You can turn up the volume.”

Tan Yan closed his eyes as soon as he got in the back seat. Being tired was one of the reasons, but the more important thing was that he couldn't look Jiang Ximeng directly in the eye.

It was outrageous enough that they knocked on her door to find her. In order to prevent her from going out, they also tried to use the contract to hold her back for several hours. Unexpectedly, she finished it within two hours.

It doesn't matter, just find another contract...

But when he met Jiang Ximeng's anxious eyes, he regretted it and called Uncle Zhang over immediately.

Tan Yan raised the arm that was resting on his knees and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.

He's been too tired lately, and a little crazy...

Jiang Ximeng's finger stayed on the volume button for a while, but she didn't press it.

"No need. I can hear you even if you speak a little softer. Thank you, Mr. Tan, for giving me a ride to the airport."

It is worth thanking that the busy man with all kinds of things on his plate was willing to give her a ride to the airport.

Drop by?

Tan Yan sneered in his heart.

He obviously went directly there!

Because the atmosphere in the seafood restaurant was not good during the day, nothing was signed. I planned to sort out the contract in the evening.

However, he didn't read a single word and just followed me to the airport!

My head hurts even more!

One hour was very slow, so slow that Jiang Ximeng had to watch more than ten episodes of cartoons before reaching her destination.

An hour passed so quickly that Tan Yan had no time to sort out the mess in his mind.

The car slowly stopped by the roadside. Jiang Ximeng hurriedly got out of the car and thanked them politely, "Thank you Uncle Zhang, thank you Mr. Tan."

She only had time to say this and headed straight for the airport lobby.

Her words made Tan Yan's face darken again.

Why should I thank him in the end?

Uncle Zhang sat in the driver's seat, with no intention of starting the car. Since the young master didn't tell him to drive, he just had to wait here.

He didn't dare to guess what the young master was thinking, but after spending a long time with him, he could understand a little bit.

No matter how annoyed he looks, he is actually still thinking about Miss Jiang.

He is the young master's personal driver. After sending the young master to the company in the morning, he just needs to wait for orders in the rest area in the lobby.

He often met Miss Jiang who came to see the young master. At that time, she was not Hengyu's secretary.

Without a magnetic card, she couldn't enter the 47th floor.

I was stopped on the first floor by the lobby reception staff several times.

Although she is the spoiled youngest daughter of a real estate tycoon, she is also a good and polite child who has never thought of using her status to bully others.

Perhaps she knew that the young master didn't want to pay attention to her, so she never called. She just waited silently in the lobby and only left when she was really tired of waiting.

That time, she was stopped by the front desk receptionist as usual.

It was also a coincidence that the young master was coming out of the exclusive elevator at that time.

Miss Jiang was surrounded by the front desk staff and did not see the young master, so the two of them missed each other.

He is the young master's driver. He usually drives the young master when he goes out. But this time, the young master refused him.

He frowned and said that he would send Miss Jiang back later.

After saying that, he took Assistant Li to the underground parking lot.

As the two walked further and further away, he could vaguely hear the young master asking impatiently, "Aren't there a lot of magnetic cards on the 47th floor?"

Special Assistant Li has been with the young master for so many years, so of course he is not an ordinary person. He quickly understood and said that he would give Miss Jiang one.

The young master suddenly glared at Assistant Li, and then walked faster and faster.

As they walked away, the sound of their conversation gradually became quieter and Uncle Zhang could no longer hear it.

After that, Miss Jiang could go directly to the 47th floor.

Uncle Zhang grinned. Perhaps...what Mr. Tan wanted to see was not difficult to achieve.

As soon as Tan Yan lowered the partition, he saw Uncle Zhang's smiling face in the rearview mirror, and his expression suddenly became even worse.

"You go back first!"

Uncle Zhang was stunned. What did that mean? Did he want to go back first?

What about the young master?

Seeing his confusion, Tan Yan continued, "I'll drive myself. You take a taxi back and ask the finance department for reimbursement."

Uncle Zhang unbuckled his seat belt hesitantly. It was easy to say whether to reimburse or not. He just wondered why the young master suddenly let him go...

While Uncle Zhang was thinking, he saw the young master bend down, and when he stood up again, there was a shiny object in his hand.

Thinking of the earrings Miss Jiang held in her hand during the day, Uncle Zhang got out of the car quickly.

He understood that the young master wanted to be alone with Miss Jiang, so he had to be more tactful.

Tan Yan stared at the pearl earrings in her hands. The small silver-white beads sparkled under the light from the car.

He still remembered how Jiang Ximeng looked when she wore these earrings. The playful little pearls swayed with her movements, and the simple accessories looked dazzling because of her overly flamboyant face.

Tan Yan didn't know how long he had been looking at an ordinary pearl earring.

He didn't put it into his coat pocket until a familiar person walked out of the hall.

It was already past eleven o'clock at night when Jiang Ximeng sent Annan, who was reluctant to leave, away.

Taxis are not always available at this time, so you need to wait patiently.

She trotted across the street and stood where she could be seen by passing taxis.

Having been dragged into an alley in her previous life, she was afraid of walking alone in crowded places.

"Drip!"

The short sound of the car horn made Jiang Ximeng's body stiffen.

She stood there in a daze, the light from the car headlights shining on her, and she couldn't see anything against the light.

The stalemate lasted for a few minutes, and then the car door opened and a man in black clothes walked out.

The man walked slowly, with the light behind him, so Jiang Ximeng couldn't see his facial features clearly, but she could tell who he was from his slender figure.

"Mr. Tan...you didn't leave?"

Didn’t you say you were going to discuss a cooperation and that’s why you were giving her a drop?

"…I'm back after finishing my work."

Tan Yan hesitated for only a second, mentally estimating how unlikely it was to travel an hour to and from the city to sign a contract, but it did not stop him from using this poor excuse.

Jiang Ximeng nodded, stood aside without saying anything, and didn't even look at him.

She had nothing to say to Tan Yan, she just had to maintain the relationship between superior and subordinate.

When the time is right, she will leave and stay far away.

It’s not that Tan Yan didn’t notice Jiang Ximeng’s coldness. In the past half month or so, she had this expression most of the time.

From the beginning he thought she was playing hard to get, but now... he no longer thinks so.

Because in those straightforward eyes, the indifference and avoidance were so obvious that it was impossible to ignore them...

Tan Yan stood opposite Jiang Ximeng and said calmly, "Get in the car."

She is Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter and the sister he has watched grow up. He just wants to ensure her safety in the middle of the night, nothing more.
