Chapter 47 Swimming "Yingying, relax."
"Hmph, you're such a big eater! No matter how much I feed you, you're never going to be full. I won't feed you anymore."
After Qiao Ruoying finished speaking with a frown, Jiang Zong also laughed a few times. His shaking chest made his voice sound hoarse and rough, with a hint of joy.
"Feed her a little more and she'll be full. Yingying, don't give up so easily."
“…”
He sat down beside her, took the spoon, scooped a spoonful of cream of mushroom soup, and held it to her lips. She lowered her eyelashes and drank the soup from his hand. It was rich and fragrant.
She had pizza and cream of mushroom soup, and he had seared steak, salmon, and steamed oatmeal.
After resting for a while after eating, Qiao Ruoying felt dizzy and her whole body was soft and she didn't want to move, but Jiang Zongye didn't let her lie down comfortably.
"You are too weak, you must move." Jiang Zongye kneaded her wrist bones with his fingers, loosening her sore arms bit by bit.
"I won't move," Qiao Ruoying acted coquettishly towards him.
"You have such good physical strength, why don't you just move?"
Jiang Zong also laughed in silence, bent his slender fingers, and gave her a slap on the delicate porcelain-white forehead.
He used very gentle force, fearing to hurt her.
"It's no big deal if I moved a little more at that time," he said in a hoarse voice. Anyway, he was happy to be in control of the overall situation when doing that.
"But Yingying also needs to exercise regularly, otherwise she won't have the energy to keep up. You complain about not having enough energy to do anything, but in fact, lack of energy can be improved with exercise."
"If you don't like using gym equipment, then let's start with swimming. I'll also teach you how to tread water so you can swim to deeper waters."
Perhaps moved by Jiang Zongye's words "Learn to tread water so you can go to deep water", Qiao Ruoying stretched, went downstairs with him, changed into her swimsuit, and returned to the tourmaline-like indoor swimming pool.
Jiang Zongye took her to the deep water area and explained to her in detail the key points of treading water.
"Let's try it now. Don't be afraid. I'll go down first." After making sure Qiao Ruoying understood, Jiang Zong also led her, holding the swimming pool ladder, and went down into the water step by step.
As soon as she reached the deep water, Qiao Ruoying couldn't feel her feet on the ground. She panicked and forgot all the key points of the movements. She kicked her legs randomly in the water and paddled with her hands.
Seeing that the water was about to reach her chin, she was so scared that she hugged Jiang Zongye next to her, like a sloth hugging a tree, and refused to let go.
"Yingying, relax." Jiang Zong also coaxed her.
"I can't relax."
Qiao Ruoying screamed softly, her voice mixed with the sound of water. Her two soft and slender arms hugged Jiang Zongye's neck, and her two long legs were wrapped around his narrow waist.
“…”
Jiang Zong also thought, this little girl is not here to learn how to tread water, but to seduce him, right?
He really wanted to teach her how to tread water, as a way to protect herself. He had already had a hearty lunch, and now with this beautiful woman in his arms, he wanted to be like Liu Xiahui.
When he is indulging himself, he is very indulgent, but when he is serious, he is serious enough and will never be shaken by other things in his current goal.
Jiang Zong also tried to pry open her arms that were wrapped around his neck with his palms, and said in a deep voice:
“The more nervous you are and the less you relax, the less you will learn.”
"Come on, Yingying, listen to me and relax."
He coaxed her in a gentle voice.
Qiao Ruoying was half-believing and half-doubting, so she loosened her hands from his neck and then slowly loosened her feet.
Jiang Zong also took the opportunity to tread water and move two steps away from her.
Qiao Ruoying was helpless in the water. She raised her neck and screamed, then quickly threw herself back onto Jiang Zongye. This time, she was determined to hold on to him and not let him throw her off again.
Qiao Ruoying clung tightly to his neck, smelling the refreshing and pleasant fragrance on his skin. She felt very safe as he carried her up and down in the water.
It was as if he was her only island in the vast ocean.
Jiang Zong also took her into his arms again, holding her little butt with his big hands. He saw that she had just tilted her neck in the water, with a few strands of hair falling out from under her swimming cap, and the corners of her eyes were red. She looked as pitiful as a puppy that fell into the water.
He thought there was a reason why she was so afraid of treading water, so he asked, "Have you ever been drowned before?"
“…”
Even the big boss could guess this? He's too perceptive.
"Well, when I was in elementary school, I once fell into deep water and almost couldn't get out..."
She still felt a little scared when she talked about it.
When she was in elementary school, she made an appointment with a classmate who was good at swimming to go swimming. At that time, she was late because she was making dinner for Qiao Ruoqi, and her classmate had already started swimming in the deep water.
In order to meet up with her companions as soon as possible, Qiao Ruoying carelessly dived into the deep water and almost couldn't get out. She struggled for a long time before she climbed onto the wall of the swimming pool. From then on, she was traumatized.
After hearing her say this, Jiang Zong also frowned.
Even though we know that she finally struggled out of the deep water, aren't there many drowning accidents in swimming pools?
She spoke with lingering fear, and he was also terrified when he heard it. He was worried about the little fool Qiao Ruoying who was only in elementary school. He was really afraid that she would die in the swimming pool.
If that happened, he would never meet the current 22-year-old Qiao Ruoying again. Thinking of this, his heart tightened and he felt a suffocating pain.
With a "slap" sound, he slapped her little butt hard.
With water as a buffer, it doesn't hurt.
Qiao Ruoying touched her butt and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
"I told you to be so reckless when you were little, daring to go into deep water without even knowing how to tread water. It's really worrying."
Jiang Zong also snorted.
"Back then, I was young and brave, but I wouldn't be that way now. I'm determined not to go into the water." Qiao Ruoying touched her chest. She really values life now, okay?
After hearing about Qiao Ruoying's near-drowning experience as a child, Jiang Zong also felt that it was even more necessary for him to teach her how to tread water.
He thought about it for a moment and felt that there was a shadow, so he asked Qiao Ruoying to go down to the deep water area. She couldn't learn to tread water, so he took her back to the shallow water area of 1.5 meters.
"You're such a kid! You can only use the children's lane when swimming." He laughed at her.
Qiao Ruoying made a face at him playfully. At home, although she was her mother's daughter, she was also Qiao Ruoying's older sister. She had always taken on the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister, feeling like a little adult.
She liked the feeling of being treated like a child by Jiang Zongye. It was as if the missing piece of her childhood was filled by him.
He directed her to go into the water first, with her arms floating on the pool wall, her upper body exposed above the water, her lower body suspended in the air, and to draw circles in the water with her feet. Once she was proficient in drawing circles, he would let her practice the hand movements in the swimming pool.
The hand and foot movements are now proficient, and the shallow water area can no longer meet the teaching needs, so it is time to go to the deep water area.
Qiao Ruoying paddled frantically in the deep water. She could hold on at first, but the longer she paddled, the more nervous she became. When she got nervous, her movements became distorted, and when her movements became distorted, she sank deeper, and the deeper she sank, the more panicked she became.
Seeing this, Jiang Zong simply embraced her and brought her ashore.
"That's pretty good, you've made progress." He encouraged her and taught her, "Next week, have Li Zheng buy two floats. You can practice in the deep water with them."
Qiao Ruoying's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Are we coming again next week?"
Jiang Zong also recalled his itinerary:
"I have work arrangements next week and can't come over. If you want to come, you can come by yourself. I'll ask Lao Chen to bring you over and give you the password."
After hearing what Jiang Zongye said, Qiao Ruoying immediately lost interest.
Let her come and live here by herself, she won't come.
Without him, no matter how big or luxurious the house is, it will be boring to live in.
"Even if you can't come over, you still have to learn how to tread water. I will hire a coach to teach you until you learn how to tread water." Jiang Zongye said.
He would hire a senior coach who had been assessed by the State Sports General Administration or the Swimming Association to teach her step by step how to tread water and other functions to avoid danger in the water.
And it must be a female coach.
She has such a great figure, he's worried about hiring a male coach.
Hearing Jiang Zongye say this, Qiao Ruoying slightly widened her lychee eyes. It was unbelievable that Jiang Zongye seemed to care about her actually learning to swim.
Why is this?
He wasn't waiting for her to ask that classic life-threatening question, "If your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who would you save?" so that he could answer, "You have already learned to swim, I will go save my mother," right?
Qiao Ruoying was amused by her own imagination.
However, she would not ask Jiang Zongye such a question at the moment.
She maintained a boundary, not breaking it, not becoming "arrogant due to being spoiled", and was very smart not to compare herself with his family.
She didn't think that her position in his heart was so important that it could be compared with his mother.
At five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, Jiang Zongye called his driver Lao Li to pick them up and take them back to the city.
An off-road Wrangler was driving on the mountain road. Qiao Ruoying originally thought that they would go directly back to Tianxi Huanyu, but she didn't know that Jiang Zong also asked Lao Li to drive to Henggu Wanxiang.
"What are we going to Henggu Wanxiang for?" Qiao Ruoying was still confused.
"Didn't we agree to choose underwear together?"
He leaned close to her ear and said the word "underwear" in a very soft, hollow voice, which had a kind of mute feeling and rolled over her eardrum.
Qiao Ruoying quickly glanced at Old Li, who was sitting in the main driver's seat. Her originally slouched sitting posture straightened up a lot, and a very awkward thought flashed through her mind:
Old Li wouldn't know that they went to Henggu Wanxiang to pick out underwear, right?
So embarrassing.
Seeing this, Jiang Zong also lowered the window.
“…”
Once the window is closed, the attempt to cover up something becomes even more obvious.
Qiao Ruoying stretched out her foot and gently kicked Jiang Zongye's Oxford shoes with her brown cashmere boots, saying angrily:
"What are you doing picking out girls' clothes?"
"You have to wear it for me to see. I have to choose one."
He was really "shameless". Qiao Ruoying was convinced, and her cheeks turned red again in distinct layers, from her earlobes to her neck and then to her cheeks, all covered with a layer of crimson.
Fortunately, Ada understood the "saint's intention". She knew that Qiao Ruoying was particularly shy, so she asked the SAs to leave. So when the time came, the store would be empty, and Jiang Zongye and Qiao Ruoying could choose freely.
When they arrived at Henggu Wanxiang, Qiao Ruoying got off the horse shepherd.
The Henggu Wanxiang Square, which was once bustling with people, was now empty, and a cordon was set up outside the square.
The revolving door of the mall was closed, and a plaque hanging on the handle read "Closed Today." The guide, who had been waiting for a long time, was wearing a silver-gray suit and skirt. He smiled and led them to a special elevator, which went up.
Qiao Ruoying couldn't help but look behind her and saw that there was a bodyguard following her.
It was just a matter of picking out some underwear, but the whole thing turned out to be like going to the United Nations to give a speech in front of the Secretary-General.
Jiang Zong, who was beside her, was also accustomed to such grand occasions. He took her hand and led her to the escalator, then said calmly, "You all go down."
The bodyguards lined up in a long queue and went down in an orderly manner.
The two took the escalator to the fourth floor.
All other luxury brand stores had their doors tightly closed. Behind the shiny glass doors, it was pitch black, with only the outline of the counter vaguely visible.
There was only that lingerie store, whose name was a complicated string of English. From a distance, the lights emitted an ambiguous pink glow.
Purple-toned pink, rose pink, peony pink, and nude pink are interwoven to create a dreamlike scene full of a hazy girlish heart.
Qiao Ruoying couldn't help but glance at Jiang Zongye beside her a few more times. He was such a tall, imposing man, so heroic and upright, that he formed a stark contrast to the pink ambiguity.
When she reached the door, the voice-controlled glass door opened to both sides, and a fragrant breeze blew into her nose, elegant and rich. Standing in front of this pink ocean, Qiao Ruoying almost held her breath.
When she actually arrived at the lingerie store, perhaps because of the last experience she and Jiang Zongye had with choosing condoms in the unmanned supermarket, although her face was flushed, she was much calmer than before.
"Pick it up, all the sizes here are suitable for you." Jiang Zong also stood at the door and said calmly.
Seeing him standing at the door, Qiao Ruoying breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the old man was not so obsessed as to choose with her.
She endured the blush on her face and was about to ask, "How do you know my current size?", but then she thought about it. Every time they did that, he... couldn't let go, kissing, touching and kneading. His big palm was the ruler, and he had measured it long ago.
Just thinking about it made her feel numb, as if he were kneading her vigorously. She tried her best to ignore the numbness and danced a few times quickly.
The underwear here is of various styles and practical.
Tank-style sports bras, tube-top styles perfect for slip dresses, full-cup, half-cup, three-quarter-cup, and triangle bras, with or without underwire—they're all here, and they're all so beautifully crafted, made from silk fabrics and trimmed with sheer lace...
She picked some light colors according to her preferences, including milky white, primrose, haze blue and taro purple, all of which were very fresh and clean.
Although it is a small piece of clothing worn inside and cannot be seen from the outside, you will be very happy if you wear it beautifully.
She picked out one piece like a whirlwind, and three sports bras. She took out a three-dimensional gold and silver cardboard bag at the counter and put them in it. She brought it to the door and said to Jiang Zongye, "I've picked it out."
"So quick to pick?" Jiang Zong also raised an eyebrow, "Let me see what you picked."
Without saying anything, he took the paper bag from her hand, opened it and took a look.
"You haven't picked enough. Pick some more." Jiang Zong also raised his chin towards the underwear rack at the door.
The ambiguous pink light highlights his handsome and sharp jaw, making him look like the handsome protagonist in an Otome game.
"I've picked them all." Qiao Ruoying whispered.
He glanced at the red spot on her fair earlobe and sneered.
The little white rabbit was even shy to pick out some nice clothes for himself. He really wanted to open the little rabbit's head and see what was inside the little rabbit's mind.
"If you don't pick, then I'm going to pick some."
Jiang Zong also said this and strode into the room.
Qiao Ruoying was startled and hurried in.
The clothes hangers placed at the door were all basic styles, which Qiao Ruoying had already picked out. He didn't even look at them and walked straight into the back of the store, looking for "upgraded styles".
Jiang Zong also stopped in front of the innermost clothes hangers.
When Qiao Ruoying saw where he stopped, she bit her lips even tighter.
When she was picking just now, she glanced over these shelves, okay?
Hanging here are all silk pajamas in bright colors and bold styles. Silk satin and lace are intertwined. The thin silk fits the body perfectly and outlines the curves.
Jiang Zong also examined them with precise eyes. On his neck, the plump and protruding spindle-shaped Adam's apple moved deeply, and his throat felt dry.
Such thin silk and lace, as thin as a cicada's wing, seem to be soaked in a layer of fragrance, and are matched with blindfolds, handcuffs, and suspenders.
Just by looking at them, he seemed to be able to imagine Qiao Ruoying wearing them.
She would be very shy and would insist on wrapping herself in the quilt, but that would be of no use. He would remove the quilt, exposing her inch by inch, and kiss her curves bit by bit through the thin lace...
There was a row of white paper bags on the gilded shelf. Jiang Zong also grabbed the largest paper bag, and with his slender fingers, he took off pieces of sexy pajamas one by one and threw them in.
The bold peacock blue, with the key embroidery of the gorgeous eyes on the peacock's tail feathers, the hem hanging down to the hips, and a detachable hook to hook the thin suspender stockings;
A bikini-shaped bra and thong, the bra cups were hollowed out, and the front of the thong was decorated with a fluffy ostrich feather, fluffy like a pink cloud. The tunic was rose pink, and the material was extremely thin, so it could not cover anything at all. The cuffs were also trimmed with a circle of fluffy ostrich feathers;
The bright red leather underwear has faint crocodile leather patterns on it, with a metal ring in the middle. Thin gold chains hang down from the thin straps, seemingly covering something, and are also equipped with shiny handcuffs.
The inside of the handcuffs was thoughtfully lined with a layer of soft rabbit fur, as if to prevent the shackles from rubbing against the wearer's wrists.
...
Every time Jiang Zongye threw something into the paper bag, her lychee eyes would open wider. In the end, even her eyelids would feel sore.
She didn't want to take these sexy pajamas back.
Thinking of this, Qiao Ruoying secretly made up her mind and took a step closer to Jiang Zongye: "These... clothes are not suitable to be worn under clothes."
She tried to hint to Jiang Zongye that these were not suitable for making underwear.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zong also looked at her deeply, as if he knew what she was thinking. He raised the corner of his lip and said, "These are not meant to be worn under clothes."
"I wear it for me to see at night."
“…”
Qiao Ruoying was dumbfounded.
Is he picking out underwear for her?
It was clearly a fair and open "reward" for himself!
She also said she would wear it for him to see...
These little clothes were as thin as cicada wings, neither covering nor not covering. They were more seductive without them than with them. She felt so embarrassed that her legs went weak just thinking about being forced to wear them and having him gaze on every inch of her.
"They're too colorful and don't look good on me."
Racking her brains, she continued to make excuses.
The flowing peacock blue and rich red, such bright colors are really difficult to control.
Jiang Zongye's smile deepened: "Yingying, you are too modest."
His Yingying is truly modest. Even a color as difficult to pull off as rose red looks so beautiful on her, with a curvaceous figure and glowing white skin.
What about these colors?
He clasped her neck with his hands and pulled her closer to him. He leaned down and gently brushed his thin lips against her delicate, porcelain-like forehead.
"How do you know if they look good on you if you don't wear them?"

The author has something to say: Yingying: I won’t wear it, I won’t wear it, I won’t wear it. [Breaking cry][Breaking cry][Breaking cry]
Lao Jiang: Be good and put it on. [Loop-eared rabbit head][Loop-eared rabbit head]
This chapter is about Chiang Kai-shek, who was so picky about underwear that he didn't know what to do.
Although Yingying didn't want to wear it, Jiang Zongye, a cunning and treacherous old fox, would definitely find a way to trick his wife into wearing it.
I remember someone said they were looking forward to seeing Lao Jiang get mad with jealousy after learning about Li Shengjie. I also said I'd be writing about it soon, forgetting that they spent three chapters on their weekend vacation. Don't worry, everyone, tomorrow will definitely be Lao Jiang getting jealous! [狗头]
