Chapter 695: Chatting Late At Night With Rival's Girlfriend
As the night wore on, Emily began to show signs of fatigue. She yawned and leaned against Wang Jian, her energy waning. "I think I'm ready to call it a night," she said, her voice sleepy.
Wang Jian nodded, understanding. "Alright, let's get you back to the hotel," he said, placing his hand on her waist and guiding her through the crowded room. He exchanged quick goodbyes with Jake and Jessica, promising to catch up with them later.
After ensuring that Emily was safely tucked into bed at the hotel, Wang Jian returned to the party, a mischievous grin on his face. Without the need to keep up appearances for Emily's sake, he allowed himself to fully indulge in his true intentions. His thoughts kept drifting back to Jessica, the way she had smiled at him, the slight interest in her eyes that she had tried to hide.
Back at the party, he kept a casual eye on Jake and Jessica, waiting for the right moment. It didn't take long. Jake was soon pulled away by a group of his friends who began teasing him, likely about some drunken antics earlier in the night. Jessica was left alone, sipping a drink as she watched the dance floor.
Wang Jian seized the opportunity and approached her with a confident stride. "Looks like you've been abandoned," he remarked, his tone playful.
Jessica turned to him, her lips curling into a smile. "Seems that way. I guess I'll have to fend for myself now."
Wang Jian chuckled, standing close enough to her that their arms brushed against each other. "I'm sure you'll manage just fine. But if you need a dance partner or someone to keep you company, I'm more than willing to volunteer."
She raised an eyebrow, clearly amused by his boldness. "Aren't you worried your girlfriend might get the wrong idea?"
He leaned in slightly, his voice dropping to a lower, more intimate tone. "She's asleep, and besides, it's just a little harmless fun, right?"
Jessica laughed, the sound soft and melodic. "Harmless, huh? You're quite the charmer, Wang. I can see why Emily likes you."
Wang Jian grinned, taking her empty glass from her hand and setting it on a nearby table. "Well, I try my best. But you know, you've been on my mind since the moment you walked into this party. That dress... it's like you're trying to drive every guy here crazy."
Jessica's eyes sparkled with interest, clearly enjoying the attention. "Maybe that was the plan," she teased back, her voice just as flirty.
The two of them continued to talk, the conversation laced with subtle flirtation. Wang Jian's charm was undeniable, and Jessica found herself drawn to him more with each passing minute. He slipped away every time Jake returned, making sure not to raise any suspicions. But each time Jake was pulled away again, Wang Jian would find his way back to Jessica's side, resuming their playful banter as if no time had passed.
Eventually, as the party began to wind down and Jake was once again occupied by his friends, Jessica leaned in closer to Wang Jian, her voice hushed. "You know, you're a lot more interesting than I expected," she admitted, her eyes locking onto his with a smoldering intensity.
Wang Jian smirked, his heart racing with excitement. "I could say the same about you, Jessica. You're full of surprises."
Before he could say more, she slipped something into his hand-her phone number, scrawled on a small piece of paper. "Maybe we can continue this conversation another time," she whispered, her breath warm against his ear.
Wang Jian grinned, his fingers closing around the paper as he nodded. "I'd like that," he replied smoothly.
Another pause, and then Jessica's reply came through:
Jessica: 'You're not wrong... Sometimes I feel like he's more interested in hanging out with his friends than spending time with me. Like tonight-he barely even noticed when I was alone.'
Wang Jian smirked. It was almost too easy. He leaned into his phone, typing quickly, making sure his tone stayed just right—not too pushy, but enough to keep her talking.
Wang Jian: 'That sucks to hear. I noticed you seemed a bit left out tonight. It's crazy to me
that someone as gorgeous and fun as you could feel that way. If I were there with you, I wouldn't have let you out of my sight.'
Jessica: 'Is that so? Well, maybe I should've spent more time with you instead. You're definitely more attentive than Jake these days.'
Wang Jian grinned, knowing he had her right where he wanted her. Now was the time to escalate things a little more.
Wang Jian: 'I'm glad you think so. I enjoyed our conversation a lot-probably more than I should have, considering you're taken... but what can I say? You're kind of irresistible.'
Her response was almost immediate this time:
Jessica: 'You're trouble, you know that? But I think I like it...'
Wang Jian's grin widened. This was going perfectly. He decided to push things further, subtly
shifting the conversation in a more intimate direction.
Wang Jian: 'Maybe I am. But if I'm trouble, what does that make you? Because you're the one
who gave me your number.'
Her reply came with a playful emoji:
Jessica: 'Guilty as charged. What can I say? I like a bit of danger ;) Jake doesn't exactly keep
things exciting anymore.'
Wang Jian seized the opportunity to keep her talking about Jake, subtly planting seeds of doubt and dissatisfaction in her mind.
