Xu Xian was drugged by someone's s...
Chapter 36 Mr. Jiang is too generous
"It's not appropriate to wear this in the company." Xu Xian pointed at the black velvet box, his eyes full of anxiety.
The two of them wore wedding rings in the company, which obviously told everyone that they were married.
Jiang Shibai pressed the opening of the box with his fingertips. He looked up at her in surprise and immediately understood what she meant. A dark light flashed across his deep eyes.
"Is it inappropriate? I think it's fine."
As he spoke, he walked around the desk and walked towards her step by step under Xu Xian's horrified gaze until he forced her into the corner.
Xu Xian leaned her back against the transparent glass, looking up at the man in front of her who was staring at her quietly, swallowing nervously.
She didn't want to have the title of "married" in the company, which would affect her discussions about handsome guys with other colleagues.
The smile in Jiang Shibai's eyes grew even brighter. He held her left hand tightly, lifted it up and looked at it carefully, and said in an ambiguous tone, "But I think Mrs. Jiang's hands are bare. It would look better if they were decorated a little more."
The man's palm was broad, completely encircling the slender wrist, and his slightly calloused fingertips caressed the smooth skin affectionately, making the woman unable to help but retract her hand, and goose bumps appeared layer after layer.
Xu Xian glanced at her palm. Her white palm was slender with slightly raised veins. It was a little bare, but that didn't mean she wanted a restrictive ring on her finger.
"We need to discuss this properly. Wearing a ring is so awkward, right?"
Jiang Shibai chuckled incomprehensibly upon hearing this. The muffled laughter made his chest tremble, and his three-dimensional brows twisted slightly. The smile on his charming face grew wider and wider, and there was a tendency that it could not be stopped.
Xu Xian didn't understand what he was laughing at. It seemed like a mockery, but also like a silent laugh.
"why are you laughing?"
Her voice was soft, with a hint of impatience.
Jiang Shibai suppressed his laughter and let go of her wrist. The warmth remained on her skin, burning her heart.
He slowly opened the box, only to find that inside was not the ring Xu Xian had imagined, but a bracelet inlaid with pink diamonds, in the shape of a four-petal flower, dotted with transparent diamonds, with an exceptionally beautiful light pink diamond in the middle.
The bracelet is dazzling. The sunlight from the window falls into the room, shining on the corner of the diamond, reflecting a sparkling light.
Jiang Shibai took off the bracelet and placed the box on the corner of the table next to him. The long bracelet wrapped around his slender fingertips, inexplicably beautiful and attractive.
"Put your hands up."
Xu Xian's surprised gaze fell on the bracelet, and the strings in her mind suddenly broke. It turned out that she had misunderstood it, no wonder he laughed at her.
The big mistake made her cheeks turn a faint pink, and her clear eyes were misted with moisture, making her look soft and gullible.
Seeing her stunned and motionless, Jiang Shibai glanced at her red earlobe with smiling eyes, his eyes deepened a little, and he lowered his eyes and lifted up her hand hanging by her side.
He unbuttoned the bracelet and gently put the cool chain around her wrist. The man lowered his head slightly, his expression careful and serious, and he was extremely pious even when simply wearing a bracelet.
Xu Xian's gaze fell on the top of the black hair in front of her. From her angle, she couldn't see his pupils, but could only glimpse the smooth lines of his face, his high nose bridge, and his thin lips. Every part of his face seemed to be carefully shaped by God.
"Okay." Jiang Shibai supported her wrist bone, his eyes full of admiration, as if he was very fond of his own masterpiece.
"Why did you give me a bracelet?" Xu Xian raised her hand slightly and shook the beautiful bracelet on it. There was a finger-wide gap left on the bracelet. With her movement, the bracelet moved, and it was perfect from any angle.
There are so many meanings when a man gives a bracelet to a woman, including admiration and love, protection and companionship, commitment and vows, but there is also the purest meaning, which is just a gift.
But it seems that neither of them is suitable for them.
Jiang Shibai's bottomless eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, as if he knew what she was thinking. He explained lightly, "Don't think too much. It's just an apology gift for making you angry yesterday."
In fact, he bought this gift a few days ago and wanted to give it to her as a wedding present, but he never had a suitable opportunity to give it to her. Moreover, he was afraid that she would be offended by this reason, so he kept it in the drawer of his office.
Now it seems to be the most appropriate gift as an apology.
Xu Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. She had thought Jiang Shibai was interested in her! She was so scared.
"So there are gifts for being angry! Then you can provoke me a few more times next time. As long as the gifts are in place, everything will be fine." She concealed her emotions and said jokingly, with a smile in her bright eyes.
She is not short of money now, but the feeling of receiving gifts is wonderful. An unexpected little surprise, no matter what the reason, will make people happy.
As the saying goes, it would be a waste not to accept it. If she can get more gifts because of being angry, she is not opposed to accepting it.
"Little money-grubber!" Jiang Shibai commented, neither lightly nor seriously, his thick eyebrows slightly raised, and his voice gentle, "Even if you don't get angry, you still get a gift."
His voice was so sweet that it was almost sickening, like a passionate confession.
The second half of the sentence hit Xu Xian's heart directly. Fortunately, she still had her wits about her and did not pounce on Jiang Shibai. After all, who can resist a tall, rich and handsome man who is willing to spend money on you and coax you?
The two men looked at each other in the air. The man was affectionate and his deep eyes seemed to be able to suck people in and make them willing to sink into him.
"Then keep up the good work." Xu Xian suppressed his impulse and squeezed out from the gap next to the man, fearing that something might happen if he continued to look at him.
She escaped from the corner and quickly fled from the office, not until the door closed, blocking out the scorching gaze behind her that was impossible to ignore.
Xu Xian took several breaths at the door before returning to the secretary's office.
Jiang Shibai, who was inside the room, looked at the tightly closed door. His thin lips raised a certain arc and he murmured softly, "It seems that the gift is a good thing."
He spent the entire afternoon in the office yesterday searching for posts on how to make his girlfriend or wife happy, and found many ways to enhance relationships, and creating little surprises was quite practical.
Xu Xian returned to the secretary's office to continue working and completely forgot to take off the bracelet. After all, the thing Jiang Shibai gave her must be very valuable, and it was obvious that she could not afford it with her salary.
When Zhang Xiaoxiao passed by the door, she caught a glimpse of the bracelet on her left wrist with her peripheral vision. She glanced at it, then paused for a moment and looked at it carefully again.
It took her a long time to find her voice. "Xianxian, your bracelet... looks like the latest model from Cartier!"
Her voice was a little loud, and it immediately drew everyone's attention in the office to Xu Xian's wrist, and everyone started talking.
"Really? I saw it in a magazine last week!"
"I remember this one costing over two million."
"Xianxian, are you rich?"
Xu Xian was startled and subconsciously wanted to cover the bracelet, but he felt that it would only make it more obvious, so he simply resisted the urge to cover the bracelet.
She had no knowledge of luxury goods, so she was a little shocked when she heard the price was over two million.
Mr. Jiang is too generous.
She thought it would be a few thousand dollars at most!
Seeing them staring at her, Xu Xian curled his lips and said, "What?! I bought this at a roadside store while I was shopping. It only cost two hundred yuan."
"The workmanship is so good!" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at it carefully again and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
A bracelet worth two hundred yuan is more exquisitely made than one worth two million yuan.
Xu Xian laughed, but his heart was pounding. "Really? I bought it because I thought it was well made. I didn't expect it to be a knockoff. But I just wore it for fun."
"If you want to buy it, I can give you the name of the store."
After hearing what she said, everyone stopped investigating and dispersed. No one stared at her bracelet anymore.
Fortunately, the people in the secretarial office all care about their reputation and would not wear fake goods, so they naturally would not ask her for the name of the store.
Only Hu Yuanshan, who was not far away, looked at her a few more times with a meaningful look in his eyes.
