Chapter 51 Can I bring my family members to the next game?
next day
Xu Xian woke up vaguely, his fox eyes opened with a bit of confusion as he stared at the pure white carved ceiling.
She subconsciously wanted to move, but found that the big palm on her lower abdomen was still in the same place. Through the thin pajamas, the body temperatures of the two seemed to merge together, and she couldn't tell which side was hotter.
The force of the palm was not strong, but she subconsciously held her breath, as if she was afraid of disturbing the people around her.
Xu Xian carefully turned her head, and a handsome sleeping face appeared in her pupils. The man's hair on his forehead was slightly messy, half covering his three-dimensional brow bones. His phoenix eyes were slightly closed, and his thin eyelids covered his secretive pupils. His nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were stained with a faint crimson.
His features were clearly defined, and his face was flawless. Only when she got closer did she notice a very faint red mole at the corner of his right eye. It was hard to see without careful observation, and it made him look even more ferocious.
"Does Mrs. Jiang like my face very much?"
Suddenly, Jiang Shibai spoke, and his tightly closed eyes opened, lazily meeting Xu Xian's surprised eyes.
His voice was hoarse, with a deep, sleepy quality, very pleasant to the ear.
Xu Xian's breathing tightened, and he opened his eyes subconsciously, not daring to meet those careless eyes, which were like an endless vortex that could easily make people fall.
"When did you wake up?" She avoided his question.
Jiang Shibai smiled, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he replied: "When you open your eyes."
To be more precise, he felt it when she showed signs of waking up.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he felt her turning her head to look at him, so he simply pretended not to wake up.
Xu Xian's fair cheeks turned a shade of rouge red when he heard that, and his eyes were staring at the ceiling.
Doesn't that mean he knows her every move? Fortunately, she resisted the urge and didn't describe his facial features.
The air was terrifyingly quiet. Xu Xian couldn't stand the ambiguity. He supported the quilt with both hands, and the big palm on his lower abdomen fell down and hung on the soft sheets.
"Get up quickly."
She had no idea what time it was.
Jiang Shibai chuckled, and stretched out his arm hanging by the side before the woman was about to lift the quilt, hugged her slender waist, and applied a little force.
Xu Xian fell defenselessly onto the man's chest, one above and one below, their eyes meeting.
Her palm rested on his well-defined chest, and she could clearly feel the rise and fall of his heartbeat, which was a little too fast, as if it was about to jump out.
The two of them were too intimate. Xu Xian's misty eyes were tinged with displeasure. "Why are you pulling me?"
After saying this, he was about to stand up straight, but the arm around his waist did not show any sign of relaxing, instead it became tighter and tighter, as if he wanted to rub her soft body into his bones and blood.
"What time is it now?" Jiang Shibai raised his eyebrows, a half-smile on his face, and amusement in his eyes.
"It should be dawn." Xu Xian couldn't stand this posture, but he was powerless and could only give an uncertain answer.
The blackout curtains were drawn tightly, with only a slight glimmer of light coming through from underneath, making it impossible to tell the time.
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai stretched out his arm to the bedside table, took the phone, and put the time on it in front of Xu Xian.
Half past five.
Xu Xian blushed, but the hand on her waist moved away. She took the opportunity to lie back in her original position and closed her eyes angrily.
Jiang Shibai laughed at this and asked with concern, "Does your stomach still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xu Xian was afraid that he would reach out his hand again, so he responded quickly.
"Then sleep a little longer."
After she finished speaking, Xu Xian said "hmm" softly. Maybe because she was sleepy or wanted to avoid talking, she fell asleep again.
Jiang Shibai, who was standing next to her, was no longer sleepy. He waited until her breathing became steady, then stared at her for a long time before getting up to go for a morning run.
He took a nap until nine o'clock in the morning. When Xu Xian woke up, there was no one next to him. After washing up and going downstairs, he found that Aunt Liu had already arrived.
"Young Madam, what would you like for breakfast?" Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, a smile on her face. "Does your stomach still hurt? I made some blood-tonifying soup."
As soon as she arrived at Repulse Bay in the morning, the young master told her that the young mistress had her period and needed to drink something to replenish her blood and energy.
Xu Xian had already gotten used to the title of Young Madam, so she wasn't too surprised. But why did he tell everything to others?
Seeing Aunt Liu staring at her, waiting for her reply, Xu Xian slowly said, "I want to eat something light, vegetable porridge or something like that. Where is Jiang Shibai?"
Aunt Liu's smile widened slightly when she heard this. Her purpose of coming to Repulse Bay early in the morning was not only to start work as soon as possible, but also to find out the truth. Seeing that the young lady went to find the young master as soon as she woke up, there was nothing she didn't understand.
Now I can give an explanation to the old lady.
"The young master said he had to go sign a contract and would not have lunch at home, so he told the young lady not to wait for him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xian remembered that Jiang Shibai did have a plan today. He was discussing cooperation with the president of the largest hospital chain in the country. As his secretary, she knew his schedule.
But who wants to wait for him to eat?
Aunt Liu cooked very quickly, and soon minced meat, vegetable porridge and shrimp dumplings were served on the table.
Xu Xian sat at the dining table, eating absentmindedly, and opened his phone to check messages.
Li Nanyan, whose phone was turned off last night, replied to her message.
Li Nanyan: [I'm fine, honey, are you okay? How did these two bastards find this nightclub?]
Xu Xian: [I don’t know either. Jiang Shibai didn’t tell me.]
Li Nanyan: [Did he not tell you? Or are you unable to ask? Tell me, did you two get too excited last night and something unspeakable happen?! (Chihan.jpg)]
Staring at the words, Xu Xian almost spit out the porridge in his mouth. What a vicious word.
Xu Xian: [Don't talk nonsense, I haven't even asked you and your fiancé yet! (Big Knife.jpg)]
Li Nanyan: [What could possibly happen between him and me? He threw me into the hotel and said I was drunk and crazy. I refused to let him leave. I just kicked him out.]
Xu Xian: [Looks like something's up with Miss Li! (ambiguous.jpg)]
Li Nanyan: [It's a bitch. He just gave me a little leverage to return home early. But should I say it, we're truly doomed. I even know the bastard next to me. I didn't realize I stepped in cow dung. I'm so unlucky.]
Xu Xian: [Hahahahaha!!! Great minds think alike. The sea city is just a circle. Everyone is the same regardless of how many times you go back and forth.]
Li Nanyan: [This time the situation has been disrupted. Let's make another appointment in two days. I don't believe they can still catch us.]
Xu Xian took a bite of half a shrimp dumpling and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Her mind was full of the solemn promise she made to Jiang Shibai last night.
But I can’t let my sister down.
So, Xu Xian came up with a good way to have the best of both worlds and typed out a few words with a slightly guilty conscience.
Xu Xian: [Can I bring my family to the next game?]
The next second, Li Nanyan called her angrily, not giving her any chance to breathe.
As soon as the call was connected, Xu Xian was bombarded with a barrage of words. She moved the phone a little further away from her ear.
"Baby! You're too weak. I took care of you in one night? Are you still the free and easy Xu Xian? How can you conquer him in the future if a man like this can take you over completely?"
Xu Xian: "...Conquer???"
She didn't think so.
"Didn't he hear everything we said last night? He was a little serious. After all, if you take money from someone, you have to be more humble. You can't just cross the river and burn the bridge." Xu Xian lacked confidence and spoke timidly.
If I had known this would happen, I shouldn’t have taken the money.
Li Nanyan choked for a moment. Everything could be negotiated, but money was not an option.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xu Xian added, "How about this! Let's go shopping and have a meal later? You spend the money, and I'll pay for it. It's his money."
She got the supplementary card, but hasn’t spent a single cent on it yet!
Li Nanyan laughed cunningly upon hearing this, "Baby! You've also learned bad habits! Okay, send me an address and I'll pick you up later."
"OK."
