Chapter 276 - I want to keep it a secret (1/2)

” Ah? Oh Yeah. I was saying that…” she suddenly lowers her voice and looks around to see that everyone was sleeping.

She leans closer and said in a whisper, ” I was saying that about my marriage, please keep it a secret. No one knows about it other than you. Okay? ”

She took his bait and changes the topic.

He looked at her in confusion and asked, ” Why? Why are you keeping it a secret? Are you having trouble with Mr. Liwei? ”

He asked her this absurd question in the hope that it was true. But he knew the answer already of this question.

He just asked this ridiculous question just for the sake of his heart.

Xie Ming was surprised when he suddenly asked him this question. She looked at him like she was looking at a fool.

” What are you saying? I have no issues with him. It just… I cannot reveal my marriage yet. That's it.”

” So please don't tell this to anyone yet. I want to keep it a secret.”

Jian Yan nodded when he heard her words. There is nothing he can do in this. His heart hurt a little when he heard her words.

Though he already knows the answer but he was still hoping that there would be some hope for him. But her words crushed his hope.

He just nodded and agreed that he will keep it a secret. It's not like he will tell everyone that she is married.

'How can he tell everyone that his first love is already married?'

He itself does not want to believe that she is married but there is nothing he can do in this.

Xie Ming sighed lightly when she saw him nod and got his confirmation. She was worried that it will be hard to deal with him.

The way Xu Lan describe him before was making her uncomfortable. But now when she has met him, she was much at ease.

However, she has no idea that the way he is with her is because it was her. He is not this easy going with everyone.

She is a special case or say a special one.

…..

After a while later, when they reached their hotel, it was already 5 pm. They reached later than they expected due to the traffic and the rough roads.

Xu Lan got off the bus first with Song Xiner to get everyone's luggage.

After them, Yuan Lei and Wu Sheng also got off the bus with their assistants.

Xie Ming and Jian Yan were the last ones getting off the bus.

Xie Ming was in front of Jian Yan and was preparing to get off the bus. But when she stepped on the steps to get off, her ankle twisted and she almost fell.

Jian Yan was behind her and he held her shoulders on time preventing her to fall.

Xie Ming was startled when her ankle twisted and was about to fall when he held her shoulders.

Her mouth was open in shock and eyes widened. After he helped her stable her steps, she turned around to see him and looked at him thankfully.

Jian Yan pursed his lips when he saw her slightly shocked expressions which were making her cute and adorable.
