But Jing Chen was more worried about Su Wan.
“Then promise me that you won’t worry too much and leave it to me. Trust me, okay?”
Su Wan took a deep breath and smiled. “I believe you, but Jing Chen, you mean that you don’t have any feelings for Bai Lian, right? So the premise for me to believe you is that you and Bai Lian are really just acting.”
“I promise! Definitely! I really don’t have any feelings for Bai Lian anymore.”
Under Su Wan’s suspicious gaze, Jing Chen sounded rather sincere.
From his reaction, it was impossible to tell if he was pretending.
Su Wan thought of the past and felt a little tired for no reason. In short, even if Jing Chen was acting, Su Wan could not tell.
She could only slowly observe it later. She was not in a hurry.
Su Wan said ambiguously, “Mm, as long as nothing substantial happens between you and Bai Lian, I’ll believe everything you say today.”
“I definitely have to cooperate with her, but I can guarantee that I didn’t touch her at all.”
Su Wan nodded and smiled. “Before I know, I’ll believe you.”
In other words, once Su Wan found out, everything would be different.
Jing Chen understood what Su Wan meant. It was good enough that things had come to this!
He should stop while he was ahead.
Jing Chen was sincerely happy. “Thank you, Wan wan. I didn’t expect you to still believe me under such circumstances.”
Su Wan resisted. Seeing that Jing Chen was about to hug her, she quickly dodged to the side and said, “You’re thinking too much. I don’t completely trust you. Jing Chen, it’s very easy to gain someone’s trust, but it can also be very difficult. It’s quite difficult for someone like you.”
Jing Chen was rendered speechless by her words, but he only smiled. “I know, but Bai Lian has been making a fuss about marrying me recently.”
Su Wan had already let go of her worries. When she heard this, she raised her eyebrows. “So you want to marry Bai Lian? For me? Is that what you mean?”
After so many twists and turns, was it actually because of this?
Then why did he make it seem so noble? Su Wan thought that this confession was 100% sincere.
When Su Wan said that, Jing Chen panicked and quickly proved himself. “Of course not, but Wan wan, this is also a problem I’ve encountered. If I reject her, she’ll definitely make a fuss.”
Su Wan looked at him calmly. “So, you want me to solve this problem for you?”
“That’s not it… It’s just that this problem is a problem for me. No matter what you hear, you have to believe me, okay?” Jing Chen had no choice but to give Su Wan a heads-up. After all, this matter could be serious.
He didn’t want Su Wan to have doubts in trusting him when she found out later.
“You’re very conflicted, but I’ll decide based on the situation. Don’t worry.”
Su Wan didn’t say much about this matter. She got up first, went to the fridge, took out a bottle of cold water, and drank it.
She was more worried about her own condition. She also knew that Jing Chen was being controlled by Bai Lian because of this.
Instead of circling around feelings, it was better to investigate the root of them.
After drinking the water, Su Wan turned around as usual and said, “Do you want some water?”
“No.”
After Su Wan received an answer, she nodded and said, “Alright, I understand the situation. If there’s nothing else, you can leave. When Bai Lian finds out that you’ve been with me for so long, I’m afraid it will affect you.”
Jing Chen wanted to say something but hesitated. He looked at Su Wan’s place and pursed his lips. “Why don’t you go back and stay with Mom?”
“No, don’t worry about me.”
Su Wan entered the kitchen without looking back and turned a deaf ear to Jing Chen’s words.
Explaining was one thing, but whether their lives would intersect in the future was another. Su Wan still had to settle down and think about how she felt about this situation.
“Wan wan, I have a plan that can delay Bai Lian’s request for marriage. I wonder if you’re willing to help me?”
