Xu Xian was drugged by someone's s...
Chapter 178 Childish ghost!
"Ah?" Xu Xian frowned slightly and looked at him in disbelief, vaguely knowing who the designer he was talking about was.
The design world is diverse, with only a handful of top-tier and well-known designers. Designers from all walks of life are generally somewhat familiar with each other.
The designer he mentioned, whose schedule is scheduled for seven years from now, is probably the famous British master Elie, a world-renowned female designer who is nearly 40 years old.
The wedding dresses created by her are full of vitality, pure and noble. Each wedding dress is a work of art, simple yet elegant.
She comes from a wealthy family and is the daughter of a British duke. Money and power cannot shake her. She only designs wedding dresses for brides that she likes.
"She was actually willing to rush the wedding dress for you in just one or two months, and you even cut in line. How did you do it?" Xu Xian's eyes sparkled.
The medical industry and the design industry have no intersection at all. She was curious about how Jiang Shibai found Elie to design a wedding dress for her, and it was obvious that the time was very tight.
"I admit that I cut in line, but I didn't force her to finish it within one or two months. I was already preparing three months ago, and it was more than enough to have the finished product by our wedding day." Jiang Shibai raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He is very adept at strategizing in the business world.
But she was an uncertain factor, but it did not prevent him from making adequate preparations in advance.
Now it seems that he was right to plan ahead.
"Three months ago?" Xu Xian opened her red lips slightly, her pupils in shock.
Didn't they just get married three months ago? It's too hasty.
And where did he get the confidence that she would definitely hold a wedding with him?
I don't know whether to say he is too confident or too considerate.
After a long time, he finally told his grandmother and the others in the old house that weddings should be done in a proper manner. It was such a proper way!
Jiang Shibai's gentle eyes were tinged with a smile. "As for how I managed to get her to willingly design our wedding gowns and rush the production, it was because when I was studying abroad at MIT, there was a particularly chaotic year outside, with criminals robbing people on the streets. I was walking home from the library that night when I happened to see Elie being threatened. I helped her out, so she owed me a favor."
Using the favor of saving a life on a wedding dress seems to be a loss of the greater good.
But for him, the favor of saving his life was not as good as her becoming the most beautiful bride in the world, so it was all worth it.
The man explained simply, downplaying every word.
Xu Xian was shocked when he heard this. Robbery can be big or small.
The robbery he mentioned was obviously not a simple threat. There was an 80% chance that the robbers were armed. If he stepped forward to save people, he might lose his own life.
It can be seen that he is not as cold-hearted as he appears to be. He is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Some people say that you should like someone who is good in himself, not someone who is just good to you.
The fact that he took the risk to save others is enough to show his character.
Xu Xian looked him up and down, his voice a little muffled, "Are you injured?"
"You're not hurt. Your Mr. Jiang is very capable. He subdued the enemy in no time." Jiang Shibai saw the worry in her eyes, patted her head, and comforted her with a smile.
Even if he was really hurt, he would not tell her and add to her troubles.
Xu Xian believed him for the time being and hooked his little finger, looking proud. "Sure enough, I was right about him. Mr. Jiang is resourceful and a man of noble character."
"Can Mr. Jiang, a man of noble character, ask for a kiss from Mrs. Jiang?"
"certainly."
The corridor of the cancer ward was very quiet and no one was around. Xu Xian stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed his flesh-colored lips.
As soon as Aunt Wan went out, she saw the two of them kissing, even if it was only for a second. She held the thermos bucket, clenched her fist against her lips, and forced her throat, "Cough!"
The sudden cough made the two people who were looking at each other turn their heads at the same time, and their eyes met those eyes full of relieved smiles, leaving traces of the erosion of time.
Although they were just a few steps apart, Xu Xian felt as if they were separated by thousands of miles. The embarrassment of kissing an acquaintance was no less than kissing someone behind their back and being caught by the person involved.
Her thin face was flushed with rouge, and a hint of surprise and shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes. The coldness and shyness on her body were intertwined, like shining stars, the light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, very complicated.
Jiang Shibai remained calm, took her hand and walked a few steps forward, then said softly, "Auntie Wan, are you going to the cafeteria to get food?"
He noticed the thermos in her hand.
"Yes, have you had lunch? What do you want to eat? I'll buy it upstairs." The smile in Aunt Wan's eyes remained unchanged, and she was genuinely happy for the love between the young couple.
Zhang Wan's meals are usually delivered by the nurse. In order to take care of her, she usually puts the canteen meals into an insulated bucket and brings it to the ward to eat.
She wasn't particularly hungry at noon today, and it was almost one o'clock before she went downstairs to get food.
Jiang Shibai shook his head and explained in a gentle voice, "We just got off the plane and had our meal, so we're not hungry yet. Aunt Wan, just eat downstairs before going upstairs. We'll take care of Mom here."
"Okay, you guys go in quickly. Awan has been thinking about you for a long time. She has been looking forward to you day and night. Finally, you come back from abroad." Aunt Wan said exaggeratedly, then walked past them to the elevator.
Seeing this, Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open.
The mother and daughter chatted for a long time before Xu Xian remembered about the wedding.
"Mom, Shi Bai and I are planning to have our wedding soon. You have to marry me off."
Zhang Wan's eyes lit up when she heard that. She leaned back against the bed, which had been rocked to a comfortable angle, and held her hand, which trembled slightly. "Are you really going to hold a wedding?"
"Well, you must witness me wearing a wedding dress with your own eyes." Xu Xian smiled.
"Okay, okay," Zhang Wan responded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes. "It's a pity... your father won't be able to see you... getting married. He even told me back then that he didn't know which brat would marry his little girl."
"Well, I remember everything my father said. I remember I said I would never marry and would rely on you all my life. He will see me getting married in heaven, so don't worry." Xu Xian felt a pang of pain in his nose and forced a smile at the corner of his lips.
When she was in elementary school, her family was sitting in the living room watching TV. There was a scene of a bride getting married on TV. Her father then shouted that he would support her for the rest of her life so that she would not be married off to some bad boy outside.
Back then, she nestled in her parents' arms and acted coquettishly, vowing that she would never marry and would live with them for the rest of her life.
Now they have become precious memories.
Zhang Wan smiled and touched her face, her strength was very weak. "It doesn't matter if he can't see... I will tell him, and he will definitely... be furious."
Xu Xian held back his tears, a trace of tears appearing in his eyes.
She hated to hear Zhang Wan say such things, but she had to face the truth.
Zhang Wan smiled weakly, "Look at me... why would I say such depressing words for no reason? You are happy... and fulfilled. That's what your father and I want to see the most. May our Xianxian live a long life and live happily with Shi Baihehe forever."
She was breathing very hard, and each word was squeezed out of her throat with difficulty, and she paused after every few words.
Jiang Shibai sat next to them and touched his nose guiltily. From what the mother and daughter said, he felt that his father-in-law, whom he had never met, might not be willing to marry Xianxian to him.
Noticing that Xu Xian was in a bad mood, he interrupted their reminiscence in time, "Mom, in two years you will be able to see my and Xianxian's child. When the time comes, you can describe the child's appearance to Dad, and he will definitely be very happy."
Looking forward to a better life makes people feel happier than being stuck in the quagmire of memories.
Zhang Wan gave him a gentle look and smiled, "Okay, I'll tell him, and I'll also... say good things about you. Her father will definitely be very satisfied with you."
Seeing this, Xu Xian looked at him with red eyes, and saw that the man's lips curled up uncontrollably.
Childish devil!
