Chapter 85: Mrs. Jiang's Love Brain

As night falls, the hustle and bustle of the city dies down. The bright crystal chandelier in the Repulse Bay study is lit, and the soft light is reflected down and falls on a serene face.

The woman was wearing an apricot knitted long skirt, and her light brown curly hair fell in front of her chest as she lowered her head, covering half of her charming face, looking lazy and casual.

The light and shadow are intertwined, the curled eyelashes tremble slightly, and a faint shadow falls on the lower eyelid. Her eye sockets are slightly deep, her eyelids are thin, and she lowers her eyes seriously, making people reluctant to disturb her.

A ringtone broke the silence in the room, and the gentle singing sounded lingering in the air. Xu Xian paused his pen, picked up the phone beside him, and slid open the answer button.

A handsome and gentle face appeared on the screen, his thin lips were as slightly curved as always, and his eyes were affectionate and tender.

Jiang Shibai saw Xu Xian casually put her phone on the computer, then lowered her head to draw the draft, showing only her plump forehead to him, and knew that she didn't even look at who was calling her on video.

The cell phone camera was a little close to her, so he couldn't see much of her. All he could see was her fluffy long hair and the lower half of her face that looked serious.

Her crimson lips were slightly pursed, and her chin was not particularly pointed, but just the right amount of roundness, neither too much nor too little.

After a while, Jiang Shibai opened his thin lips slightly, and a familiar voice fell into Xu Xian's ears, "My dear!"

The air was silent for two seconds. After Xu Xian finished drawing the last line, he looked up blankly and met the man's careless eyes. There was a smile in the bottom of his ink-black eyes.

The man in the picture seems to be in an office, with a wall of black bookcases behind him filled with a variety of books. He sits lazily on a black leather chair, his elbows resting on the armrests, his hands loosely clasped, his knuckles slender and well-proportioned.

The heater was on in the room, and he was not wearing a coat. His dark grey cashmere sweater made him look steady and composed.

His clothes fit his body shape, and his well-defined muscles were faintly visible. He had a good figure. He looked thin when dressed, but had muscles when undressed. His belly was flat, and he had the demeanor of a noble elite.

"Why did you video call me?" She still had the jewelry design draft in her mind, and asked instinctively without thinking.

Seeing her silly and cute look, Jiang Shibai let out a casual laugh, his voice a little tight, "I'm calling my wife, do I need a reason?"

Xu Xian came back to his senses slightly, and his light pink cheeks instantly turned red. Blood rushed to his forehead, and his whole face looked like a cooked red shrimp, red and hot completely uncontrollably.

What stupid question was she asking?

"Don't laugh." The laughter in his ears didn't stop, and Xu Xian glared at him fiercely.

Her eyes are not lethal at all, and to men they are more like flirting.

Jiang Shibai stopped laughing when he heard this. The curve at the corner of his lips never fell, and even the corners of his eyes were stained with smiles. "My dear, the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps."

Sure enough, the baby with a confused look on his face is even more adorable!

It makes people have an inexplicable urge to let her be at their mercy, wanting to rub her into their bones and be together forever.

Xu Xian curled his lips and denied it, "I didn't, you said it yourself, don't wrongly accuse me."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the water glass beside her and took two sips.

Just the simple action of drinking water was also a beautiful scene in Jiang Shibai's eyes. Staring at the water-stained red lips, he rolled his Adam's apple calmly.

The sexy Adam's apple moves restlessly up and down, indicating the man's inner unrest.

Jiang Shibai's voice became a little hoarse, and he brought the topic back to the topic, "Did you take your medicine well today, dear?"

Xu Xian: “…”

She knew he wouldn't call her for no reason to check on her.

Chinese herbal medicine conditioning requires multiple courses of treatment. She finally got used to the bitter taste at the beginning, and after a follow-up check, the prescription was slightly changed.

Not only did the originally bitter medicine become even more bitter, but after replacing a few of the herbs, the astringent and sour taste rushed straight to the head. It was completely like a fermented sewer, and it was impossible to drink it.

The first time she drank it, she vomited violently in the bathroom. Finally, the medicine was made into pills, but she had difficulty swallowing all those pills.

"I ate it, but can we not talk about such unhappy things next time?" Xu Xian supported his face with his hands and said with despair.

Jiang Shibai raised his thick eyebrows slightly. He thought she hadn't eaten yet! He called to ask.

How could he know that Xu Xian was afraid that he would chant in her ear like an old man? It turned out that men who were almost thirty years old loved to nag.

"Then let's not talk about taking medicine, let's talk about something else."

"What are you talking about?" Xu Xian looked at him puzzledly. His eyes seemed to be filled with clear water, so clear that one could see what was in his heart at a glance.

Jiang Shibai leaned against the back of the chair without changing his posture, a hint of teasing appeared in his eyes, and his voice was neither fast nor slow, as if he was in control of the overall situation.

"Did you miss me, sweetie?"

The flight was very early today, so he didn't disturb Xu Xian's sleep. He left quietly and forgot to ask her this question.

Xu Xian's pupils shrank slightly, and he said insincerely, "I don't want to."

In fact, she was a little uncomfortable. Since they got married, she had never gone without seeing him for more than ten hours.

But she wouldn't admit to such a thing.

"Really?" Jiang Shibai loosened his clasped hands, tapped his thighs lightly with his fingertips, crossed his long legs, and looked lazy.

Xu Xian glanced at the time on his phone. It happened to be ten o'clock in the evening. He said slowly, "Mr. Jiang, I need to remind you that we have only been apart for fifteen hours."

She knew his flight was at seven in the morning.

It would be strange if she missed him since they hadn't seen each other for less than twenty-four hours.

Jiang Shibai didn't know what he was thinking about, and the smile on his lips deepened. "Really? But I miss you so much, Guaibao, and you don't miss me. How can you remember so clearly that we haven't seen each other for a few hours?"

He knew that Xu Xian really didn't miss him, but he still couldn't help but say a few words.

Xu Xian was completely defeated by him and said speechlessly for a long while: "Jiang Shibai!"

"Um?"

"I discovered that you have the potential to be a love-brained person."

"It's not impossible to be Mrs. Jiang's love-brained one." Jiang Shibai nodded seriously.

Xu Xian: “…”

Seeing that he was not serious, Xu Xian ignored him, put away the drawings on the desk, and went back to the bedroom with his phone.

The light footsteps and the shaking of the screen lasted only a short time. Xu Xian had already taken a shower, put his phone on the bedside table, went to the cloakroom to change into pajamas, and lay down in bed.

She was working all the time, and Jiang Shibai on the other end didn't make a sound to disturb her. He changed his previous idleness and started typing on the computer keyboard with a focused expression. His knuckles were clearly visible and looked very sexy.

Perhaps hearing a slight movement, Jiang Shibai raised his narrow eyes slightly, and happened to see the snow-white neck with faint kiss marks on it, which was erotic and lustful.

His cold eyes were tinged with desire, and the scene of the two of them entangled last night emerged in his mind.

"Are you going to bed?" Jiang Shibai saw that she looked tired, yawning, and her eyes were misty.

Xu Xian tugged at the blanket on his body, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his voice became weak, "Yeah! I have to get up early for work tomorrow!"

After she finished speaking, she casually placed her phone on the pillow with the camera facing the ceiling.

She didn't get much sleep last night, and she felt particularly sleepy whenever her concentration waned.

Jiang Shibai's dark screen and slightly deep voice said, "I won't be with you at night. Don't be afraid. If you have any problems, go downstairs and find Aunt Zhang."

He was on a business trip for a week and was worried that Xu Xian would be unsafe at home alone, so Aunt Zhang stayed at home that week.

"Yeah." Xu Xian responded in a daze, almost whispering.

The two sides fell silent. After a while, Jiang Shibai listened to the silence from the other side. For some reason, he asked softly, "Did you miss me today, dear?"

He was very persistent in this boring question.
