Chapter 210: 203: The First Initiative After Breaking Up (First Update) Chapter 210: 203: The First Initiative After Breaking Up (First Update) Wen Changling’s face was cold. “I have company.”

“Who did you come with?”

A white car facing in the direction of Xie Shang flashed its headlights, and its owner revved the engine and drove over. It wasn’t until it drew closer that it slowed down.

Xie Shang got a clear view of the person in the car.

The car stopped but didn’t approach too closely, staying a few meters away. Jiang Chengxue rolled down the window and sat waiting inside.

“I’m leaving first.”

Before she had taken a step, Xie Shang grabbed Wen Changling’s arm.

She turned her head, her gaze fierce. “What the hell do you want?”

Xie Shang stared straight ahead, his eyes locking with the person in the car. Their gazes clashed like two kings of the forest encountering each other. One was overly vigilant within his marked territory, not tolerating any intrusion, while the other tested and patrolled the borderline back and forth.

“Don’t get in his car,” Xie Shang’s tone was cautious, so he added softly, “Okay?”

“Mind your own ‘business’.”

“It’s none of your business.”

Wen Changling shook off Xie Shang’s hand and got into Jiang Chengxue’s car.

Jiang Chengxue pulled up the corner of his mouth, gave Xie Shang a smirk, then stepped on the gas pedal and sped away.

Wen Changling was in the car, yet it moved so fast.

Xie Shang was well-versed in criminal law, but he wasn’t an attorney with a very high threshold for principle. Sometimes he found the law-abiding society tiresome as there were so many things he couldn’t do.

Meng Duolan came over: “Was that Miss Wen just now?”

She hadn’t gotten a clear look at the person, but she had heard about Xie Shang’s ex-girlfriend at the Qin family’s celebration. Xie Shang only had Wen Changling as a significant other, and it was he who got dumped.

What was so special about Wen Changling that made Xie Shang so unable to forget her?

“Miss Meng,” Xie Shang’s tone was polite, but distantly standoffish, “please do not inquire into my personal matters.”

Meng Duolan was momentarily at a loss for words.

She had only asked about Miss Wen, and he treated it as a personal matter.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“I’ll be leaving first, please excuse me.”
