Chapter 185: Dressing
Xiao Xuanjin half-closed his eyes and looked at her...this other half...was naturally going to give her some strong medicine.
At that time, her only thought was to make it up to him and leave without any burden after three years.
What he has to do is to make everything perfect, including the betrothal gifts, wedding ceremony, wedding house, and everything else to the highest level.
In this way, even if it is as she wishes, and they divorce three years later, I believe no man can catch her eye. After all, he has already achieved the ultimate. With pearls and jade as a foil, any jade behind will be eclipsed.
At that time, he seemed to want to prove to her that no man could compare to him, whether in terms of financial resources or status.
What she said before was that it was just for fun and there were many better ones out there.
Then he would tell her with facts that there really was nothing out there.
He wanted her to regret and realize what she had missed. This was his purpose. He could never let go of the fact that she had abandoned him like a piece of trash back then.
"Because... I like the layout of your house."
Su Mi was half-believing and half-doubting. Although the layout of the Su Mansion was good and many leading designers in the industry had been invited to review it, and there were dozens of modification plans, it didn't make sense to say that Xiao Xuanjin was interested in it.
Everyone has his or her own preferences, especially when it comes to decoration. There is no need to copy every single thing.
I had a hunch that Xiao Xuanjin wasn't telling the truth, "You lied to me."
He curled his lips, "Why would I lie to you?"
Yes, there was no need for him to lie to her, unless the reason was too obscure to explain.
Su Mi squinted at him, thinking of the not-so-harmonious situation between the two of them at that time. Forget it, it’s better not to ask anymore. If she asks in the end, she’s afraid that the only beautiful imagination left will be gone.
She laid on his chest again and stopped asking questions, "Okay... I believe you."
Xiao Xuanjin raised his hand and smoothed her hair. "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
"Yes, I plan to go to the company tomorrow."
Now that I'm in Huacheng, I have to fulfill what I promised my dad.
We are just getting started here, and there is still a lot of work to do.
"Come to me if you need anything."
"It's okay. I can do it."
Xiao Xuanjin didn't say much, "Okay, go to sleep."
Su Mi felt that she would not be able to sleep in this position, so she rolled off him and said, "Your body is too hard, it's not easy to sleep like that."
I fell back onto the bed and touched the soft mattress, which made me sleep more comfortably.
She turned over, facing away from him, and slept that way.
Xiao Xuanjin came over and hugged her from behind, his breath spraying on her neck, "Is it comfortable to sleep like this?"
Su Mi snorted and said nothing.
I could only feel his hand on my waist moving upwards.
…
The dark night was replaced by the bright day, and the sunlight broke through the gray clouds, emitting the initial warmth.
Su Mi woke up from her dream and saw Xiao Xuanjin already dressed neatly in a dark grey suit, straight and stylish. He was bending his arms and adjusting his cufflinks.
She sat up hugging the quilt, looking sleepy, "You're up so early."
Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyes and looked at her. Her thin shoulders were exposed, with ambiguous traces on her collarbone. Her almond-shaped eyes were half-closed, with the corners of her eyes naturally curled up. Her lips were naturally red, and the long hair scattered on her shoulders was unruly and frizzy, adding a bit of lively charm to her gorgeous facial features.
His eyes deepened slightly, "Susu."
"Huh? What's up?" Su Mi said lazily. He raised his white and slender hand to cover his mouth and yawned.
"You don't want me to go out?"
Su Mi didn't react, confusion flashed in his eyes, "No."
She stretched out her arm, picked up her cell phone and checked the time. It was almost time to get up.
I'm just really sleepy.
Her eyelashes were half-closed and her head was tilted, obviously she was not fully awake yet.
With the shadow in front of him, Su Mi felt like he had someone to lean on. He leaned his head against him and closed his eyes lazily, "Xiao Jinjin, help me put on my clothes."
"I wear it?" Xiao Xuanjin's heart skipped a beat when he heard this name.
There was a sense of unreality that the scene he had imagined countless times had actually come true.
"Yeah, didn't you always like dressing me up?" she said as a matter of course.
Xiao Xuanjin remembered that he had helped her dress several times before.
But at that time, she was still shy and reluctant. How come now, she can take the initiative to make this request without any shyness on her face?
"Susu, you have changed."
"How have I changed?"
She didn't even open her eyes when she spoke, "Don't dawdle, hurry up, husband."
She thought that Xiao Xuanjin would help her put on her clothes and she could take a break, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, his hands would occasionally wander over her skin, lightly teasing her and stirring up the most primitive restlessness in her body.
Su Mi opened her eyes instantly, no longer sleepy, and snatched the clothes from his hand, "I'd better do it myself."
"You don't need me anymore?" Xiao Xuanjin raised his eyelids with a mischievous smile on his lips.
"I can do it myself..."
Su Mi bent her arms and fastened the hidden button on the back of her bra.
"Do you need help?" he asked kindly, his eyes fixed on the elegant and charming curve of her back, which, even with the scar, did not affect her beauty.
"No, go have breakfast."
Su Mi quickly put on her clothes and slipped into the bathroom.
I washed my face with cold water to relieve the flames of anger in my body.
Xiao Xuanjin glanced at her fleeing back and smiled softly.
Go downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.
After a while, Su Mi also came down.
She was wearing a long beige leather coat with a suit collar, a belt around her waist, and a straight, knee-length hem. She was wearing professional high heels. Her long, black curly hair was parted sideways and tied into a low ponytail. A wisp of bangs slid from her ear to the side of her face, making her look confident and elegant.
The high heels made a clear and crisp sound when they stepped on the smooth marble floor.
She walked to the dining table, sat across from him, picked up the milk and took a sip.
Then she felt the burning gaze from the opposite side falling on her, and asked casually, "Why are you...looking at me?"
Xiao Xuanjin met her gaze and asked, "Wife, do I need to dress like this for work?"
Su Mi glanced down and saw nothing wrong. At work, he naturally focused on being simple and efficient. "Any questions?"
"have."
"What's the problem? What suggestions does President Xiao have?" Su Mi asked patiently.
“Are there many male employees in your company?”
"Of course there are a lot." After all, in the real estate industry, most of the people who work in architectural design, construction permitting, assessment, and project supervision are men.
"Are you married?"
“I haven’t learned about this in detail.”
“It’s not fair.”
"What?"
"They can see you during working hours, but I can't." She dressed up so carefully, but not for him.
Su Mi raised an eyebrow, then realized what he meant, pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, except for meetings and necessary contact, we won't meet."
When she was a school belle, there were many boys around her who would peek at her, but because Xiao Xuanjin was there, those guys were very restrained, and Xiao Xuanjin himself didn't even take them seriously.
Now that they are married, his possessiveness has become even worse.
