Chapter 110 Everything is ready!
Shen Che's expression finally changed.
A crack appeared in the mask of gentleness.
He took a barely perceptible deep breath and returned to normal.
"I'm sorry, I was just concerned about you."
He placed the jewelry box in the middle of his seat, leaned back, and looked straight ahead.
The car traveled through the night, and the carriage was completely silent.
Until the car arrived at the south gate of S University.
Jiang Wan was about to get out of the car when Shen Che called out to her, "Wait, I have something to say."
After he finished speaking, he immediately gave instructions to the driver in the front row.
"You can go down now, I'll call you later."
The driver got out of the car without saying a word.
Only two people remained in the carriage.
Shen Che stared intently at Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, I've wanted to say this for a long time."
"I fell in love with you the day we met."
Jiang Wan's fingers, which were placed at her side, twitched.
Shen Che continued, "Actually, it can't be said from the day we met."
"I think I've liked you since I was a child."
"I would get jealous if you got close to other boys, but at that time I thought it was my feelings for my sister."
"So many years have passed, and many memories have become blurred, but the moment I saw you, I remembered everything."
Shen Che paused, his expression becoming even more sincere.
"I know that what happened at the club made you have a bad impression of me."
"But I can swear to you, before you, I have never been attracted to anyone."
"So, are you willing to give me a chance?"
After he finished speaking, the carriage fell into an unusual silence.
Jiang Wan looked into his eyes and saw only sincerity.
He probably didn't lie, but he concealed some of the facts.
The part that was hidden was, of course, their private life.
But it is not important.
Jiang Wan refused outright.
"I'm sorry, I've always only considered Che-ge as a friend."
Shen Che's eyes darkened. "Do you have someone you like?"
Jiang Wan pictured Shang Shixu's cold and arrogant face in her mind and uttered a single word.
"have."
"Who? Is it the person who gave you the perfume?" Shen Che pressed.
Jiang Wan: "It doesn't matter who it is."
"If it's not important, why don't you dare tell me?" Shen Che couldn't help but raise his voice.
Then he sighed again, his voice lowered.
"Wanwan, you are still young and inexperienced in the ways of the world."
"Many rich people are all show and no substance, keeping their wives at home while having affairs on the side, but someone as young and beautiful as you—"
"After saying all this, aren't you just trying to say that I'm being kept by someone?" Jiang Wan interrupted him.
Shen Che did not refute.
Looking into those eyes that had once warmed her heart, Jiang Wan felt a chill run through her.
Let some beautiful memories remain untouched.
Jiang Wan spoke coldly.
"Your numerous interpretations and understandings of me do not constitute even a fraction of who I am, but they reveal everything about you."
"I think I can no longer be friends with him."
Shen Che's expression changed drastically!
He was about to explain when Jiang Wan opened the car door and quickly got out.
He ran straight towards the school gate and left.
Shen Che opened the door, instinctively wanting to chase after him, but suddenly realized that his identity was inappropriate.
He watched helplessly as Jiang Wan disappeared from sight.
Shen Che regretted that he hadn't been able to keep his composure tonight.
Ultimately, the original plan was to cultivate their relationship during the summer vacation, but they waited for almost a month.
However, the proposal was rejected as soon as it was made.
I was so close to him when we were little.
The reason she's being so heartless towards him now must be because of that man.
Shen Che clenched his palm, becoming increasingly certain that his guess was correct.
That man was definitely an older man.
Skilled in PUA, and generous with money.
That's how he tricked Jiang Wan, a naive young girl, into his hands.
The reason Jiang Wan broke off her relationship with him and ran away was because he hit the nail on the head, making her feel ashamed and indignant.
Shen Che was unwilling to lose to the older man.
He absolutely needs to find out who this guy is!

The night wind dispelled the pent-up frustration in Jiang Wan's chest.
Go back to dorms.
All three roommates were already in bed.
Wang Yurong was already asleep.
Zhou Feiyan and Li Zhile were still playing on their phones.
Jiang Wan quietly put down her bag and took out her phone.
Shang Shixu sent a message a few minutes ago.
Lie: [Today is Children's Day, you can make a wish upon me]
Make a wish?
Jiang Wan is best at making wishes.
Her biggest wish right now is to get a "get-out-of-jail-free card" from Shang Shixu.
Jiang Wan quickly struck.
Nice Rabbit Squid: [I'm requesting a get-out-of-jail-free card!]
Boston, across the ocean.
When Shang Shixu saw this sentence, he knew what she was up to.
This little thing is really clever.
He was thinking that one day when his misdeeds were exposed, he could use his get-out-of-jail-free card to redeem it from him.
He tapped his fingertips down—
Lie: [Approved]
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Really?]
Lie: [Really]
Jiang Wan's lips curled into a dimple when she saw those two words.
Just as I was about to send a thank-you emoji, a new message popped up on the screen.
Lie: [The death penalty may be avoided, but punishment is inevitable]
Jiang Wan: "..."
I knew it wouldn't be that simple.
Jiang Wan sighed.
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Goodnight, Big White Goose]
Lie: Goodnight
Across the ocean.
Shang Shixu pursed his lips, a smile spreading across his eyes.
There are two weeks left in the agreement.
Wait until the little liar finishes her exams properly, then go back and confront her.
As he said—
He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment.
We should give her a good talking-to about the sins she committed.

June has arrived.
Time flies by like it's on a fast track.
As a senior high school student, Jiang Feng experienced the first major test of his life—
College entrance examination.
After checking the answers for all subjects, I can say that I performed exceptionally well.
It has already exceeded the admission score of my desired university last year.
Overjoyed, he immediately ran 800 meters.
However, the exact score and this year's admission cutoff line are still pending.
Jiang Wan's life lately can't be described as colorful, but it's certainly been dull and boring.
Review, practice questions, take exams, and repeat the cycle.
When I finished the last exam and stepped out of the classroom.
It was as if an invisible divine power was above her head, sweeping away all the fatigue in her body.
Jiang Wan carried her bag and walked back to her dormitory. Everywhere on campus, you could see people leaving the school with their suitcases.
Summer bids farewell to one generation, and autumn welcomes a new one.
Year after year, life goes on and on.
Inside the ivory tower, vibrant youth is always growing.
As a third-year student, Jiang Wan felt okay being caught in the middle.
She returned to her dormitory and packed her luggage.
She put her valuable little safe into her backpack and carried it on her back.
Jiang Wan said goodbye to her roommates and boarded the bus home.
Today is October 15rd.
The last day before the agreement expires.
In the past few days, neither she nor Shang Shixu have mentioned this matter, as if they have both forgotten about it.
But how is that possible?
Jiang Wan counted the days on her fingers.
She didn't mention it because they were both very busy.
Jiang Wan's first day at home.
That very night, I couldn't wait to send it to Shang Shixu—
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Um... do you know what day tomorrow is?]
My phone vibrated, and a message popped up on the screen.
Lie: [Knows]
Jiang Wan put down her phone, rubbed her hands together, and picked it up to type.
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Since we've been getting along pretty well lately, can we end this agreement peacefully?]
My phone vibrated, and I quickly received another message.
Lie: [Okay]
Jiang Wan was stunned.
He blinked twice.
That's right!
He said yes!!!
Jiang Wan analyzed why Shang Shixu agreed so readily.
It's highly likely that his hormones have faded, or that he's found a new "pet girlfriend" he's interested in abroad.
With the resources he has, it would be easy for him to meet any kind of girl he wants.
He can like her body, and he can also like other people's bodies.
Jiang Wan rubbed her face, trying to calm herself down.
Although there was a bittersweet feeling, the joy was even greater.
Most importantly, I feel like the burden on my shoulders has been lifted.
She can finally be herself again!
Jiang Wan sent another message to Shang Shixu—
Nice Rabbit Squid: [I want to return those three most expensive gifts you gave me. Send me your address.]
Across the ocean.
Shang Shixu ground his back molars twice.
Cold response:
Lie: [No rush, I'll send someone to pick it up in the next couple of days.]
Nice Rabbit Squid: [Okay, I'll wait for your notification.]
Nice Rabbit Squid: [I'm going to sleep now, goodnight]
After sending the message, Jiang Wan sent a screenshot of the chat to Gu Manning.
A few seconds later, I received a call from Gu Manning.
"Wanwan!"
That shout almost sent Jiang Wan away.
She pulled the receiver away.
"Wow, you're absolutely amazing!!!"
"I've booked tickets to Las Vegas, let's go have some fun!"
Jiang Wan pulled the receiver back. "You go ahead. I'm not interested in that place, and I need to help out at home."
The voice on the other end sounded regretful, "Okay, then I'll go with my friends."
"I'll give you my assistant's phone number. When Shang Shixu sends someone to pick up the items, have my assistant handle it."
Jiang Wan replied, "Okay."
She let out a long sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
As I lay in bed, the crack in the ceiling came into view.
Jiang Wan stared for a while, then drowsiness overcame her.
Before her consciousness completely vanished, she told herself—
When I wake up tomorrow, everything will be a thing of the past.
......
Boston, across the ocean.
The sun shines brightly under a clear blue sky.
After obtaining leave permission from all his professors, Shang Shixu began arranging his work and set off to return to China.
