Chapter 17 Expectations

"Well, it's not easy for her either. Don't blame her." Wang Yuqing didn't mention the reason why Su Man came down the mountain early. She walked up to him and took his arm. "Let's go. Accompany me to see the scenery."

Xiao Beisheng glanced at Wang Yuqing suspiciously, followed her to the edge of the cliff, but pulled his arm out of her hand without leaving a trace.

Wang Yuqing felt secretly proud when she saw Xiao Beisheng's unhappy expression because Su Man left her post without permission.

Xiao Beisheng didn't see Su Man's miserable appearance when she climbed the mountain in high heels. Even if Su Man explained to him later, what would it matter? In Xiao Beisheng's eyes, Su Man was just making excuses and was suspected of being spoiled.

She had seen many businessmen like Xiao Beisheng since she was a child.

When he is happy, he pampers beautiful women in every way, but once it harms his interests, no matter how beautiful the woman is, Suman is just a pet to him. It is easy to like her, and it only takes a moment to dislike her.

-

Suman is not a fool.

On the way home, she took a photo of her injured ankle for Xiao Beisheng, emphasizing the cause and effect of the whole incident. It was Wang Yuqing who exchanged shoes with her first, which caused her legs and feet to be injured. After obtaining Mr. Rofford's consent, she left first.

She sent a message as if it was a leave request and didn't care about anything else.

When she got home, she cleaned the wound with the medicine she bought on the way and put on a Band-Aid.

The wound was small, but the shoelaces with diamonds cut into her flesh, and every step she took made her gasp in pain. Until now, Su Man doesn't want to recall the pain. She fell on the bed, with her feet suspended in the air on the edge of the bed, and refused to move.

As night fell, the sound of car engines could be heard on the main road outside the villa wall, coming from far away and driving into the yard.

Xiao Beisheng actually came to the villa tonight.

Su Man did not come downstairs to greet him as usual, and naturally she would not make sobering tea for him tonight.

Ten minutes later, there was a knock on Su Man's door. Su Man said weakly, "Come in."

When Xiao Beisheng walked in, he saw her lying dead on the bed with lifeless eyes.

"Mr. Xiao, if you want to curse, can I apply to listen to it tomorrow? I really don't have the mood today."

Xiao Beisheng walked to the bedside and looked down at her condescendingly.

Su Man was very upset by this attitude of looking down on ants.

She turned her back to him and crawled under the covers, but a large hand grabbed her calf and dragged her out of the bed.

"Who said I was going to scold you?"

Su Man was dragged in front of him. He lifted her calf and checked her ankle. There was a cartoon Band-Aid on the injured part of each foot, which looked inexplicably cute.

Su Man pulled her foot back and tried to escape again.

Xiao Beisheng pulled her closer, and he lifted her legs and pressed them against his waist:

"She asked you to change your shoes, so you changed them. How could I not know that you could be so obedient?"

"Isn't it your idea to let me serve them, Mr. Xiao?" She emphasized the last two words.

"You can choose not to go. I didn't forbid you to refuse."

"I know myself well enough to not compete with your blind date," Su Man said. "What happens after I reject her? She'll suspect that I have an improper relationship with you, and then point the finger at me. You'll be completely invisible, neither defending me nor admitting your relationship with me. Then, she'll think I provoked you unilaterally, and she'll focus all her firepower on me. And because of your immoral private life, she'll give up on marrying you."

Su Man exposed him: "Is this your purpose? Using me to reject the blind date you don't want."

Xiao Beisheng smiled and said, "It's not a good thing for a woman to be too smart. Isn't that what you said? You and I are in a relationship where we use each other and get what we need from each other."

Su Man curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here.

Before, she felt guilty about what she said in front of Gu Ziheng, but now that guilt suddenly disappeared.

She used Xiao Beisheng, and Xiao Beisheng used her in return.

It's even.

"I finally understand why people outside don't dare to mess with you. It turns out that Mr. Xiao is so treacherous. If there is a grudge, it will be taken seriously."

"Unhappy?" Xiao Beisheng's big palm gently massaged her calf, "Does your leg hurt?"

"Of course it hurts, it hurts so much. Climbing a mountain in high heels is simply torture." Su Man lost her reserved look as if she had done something wrong and turned back into the heartless little vixen.

They're all just using each other, so what's the point of having a conscience? Just be happy.

"Then let me rub it for you?" Xiao Beisheng was unexpectedly gentle.

"uh-huh."

Su Man was not polite at all and stretched out her legs confidently.

Her long legs were slender and straight. Xiao Beisheng glanced at the large area of ​​fair and tender skin, and actually helped her massage her calves. His rough and warm palms were gentle in force.

Su Man narrowed her eyes, looking as if she was enjoying it.

After a while, she was a little dissatisfied and urged: "Push harder."

Xiao Beisheng paused and increased his strength.

"Harder."

Xiao Beisheng narrowed his eyes and really used force.

"Ah—it hurts, it hurts!" Su Man couldn't help but scream.

"You're calling me like I did something to you."

Su Man's ears turned red: "Sorry, I didn't mean to do that, but it's itchy and painful..."

This time she bit her lip, buried her face in the quilt, clenched her hands into fists, and looked ready to die.

Xiao Beisheng thought she was funny and lightened the pressure on her.

A soft and shallow cry came out from under the quilt. Perhaps she was ticklish, so she twisted her waist to dodge from time to time. The corner of her clothes slipped to her waist, revealing a piece of snow-white skin, which was distracting.

Xiao Beisheng's eyes darkened: "Su Man, are you seducing me?"

"Can you always have weird thoughts in your head...Ahhhh - it hurts! Xiao Beisheng, be gentler!!" Her voice was soft and a little angry, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like she just wanted people to bully her harder.

Xiao Beisheng's eyes gradually became cloudy, and his voice was low and magnetic: "How much does it hurt?"

"No more...let go..."

Su Man whined, her eyebrows furrowed, and her nose turned red, just like when she begged for mercy under him in the past. Xiao Beisheng's throat rolled, and he let go of her and turned his eyes away from her.

Only in this way can I suppress the greed aroused by her.

He picked up the salve he had brought and poured it on his hands: "Stretch your legs out and apply some salve. It will heal faster."

Su Man saw the affection in his eyes and said cautiously, "I'm very tired today. I won't do anything with you."

Xiao Beisheng sneered: "You are so delicate, I am afraid that if I do something to you again, you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

Su Man was embarrassed and angry, and pretended to be fierce and glared at him.

Then I heard him say, "Have a good rest tonight. Don't you have a performance tomorrow?"

"How did you know I have a performance tomorrow?"

"The invitation you left on the coffee table in the living room was not for me?" Xiao Beisheng raised his eyebrows.

Su Man was a little embarrassed: "I wanted to give it to you..."

There will be a party at school tomorrow. Suman, as a representative of young teachers, will also have a performance. She has been rehearsing this dance for three months.

Each performer has an invitation quota and can invite relatives or close friends.

Her uncle and aunt always looked down on her activities, so Su Man naturally thought of Xiao Beisheng.

The moment she received the invitation, she filled in Xiao Beisheng's name.

But just before the invitations were sent out, Wang Yuqing appeared.

Su Man couldn't ignore Xiao Beisheng's blind date, and she also realized more clearly that there was no possibility between her and Xiao Beisheng, so she didn't send out the invitation in the end.

She hesitated and asked, "Will you go tomorrow?"

"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Beisheng did not refuse, nor did he make any promises. He had an indifferent attitude and was only focused on giving her a massage.

With warm palms smeared with activating oil and appropriate techniques, Suman's calves felt warm and the soreness and swelling in her calves was greatly relieved.

After Xiao Beisheng left, Su Man couldn't tell what she felt.

It would be reasonable if Xiao Beisheng didn't go to see her performance tomorrow.

But for some reason, she actually hoped that he would go, and even had a vague expectation because he did not refuse outright.
