Chapter 24: Sweeter than Mrs. Jiang
Xu Xian stared at those calm eyes and knew that he was not attracted at all. She felt bored instantly. Now she had another dark history.
"Your head is full of dirty shit. I'm just tired and just want to sit for a while." After turning the tables, she quickly got down from the table and pretended to calmly think about leaving the office.
Jiang Shibai chuckled softly, his voice hoarse with lust, "Drink the medicine first and then leave."
Xu Xian's slender back froze. He held his breath and sat down at the table in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He unscrewed the lid of the thermos cup. The candy next to him had been unwrapped.
After drinking so many times, Xu Xian was not so resistant. After drinking it all in one gulp, he stuffed some candy into his mouth. He turned his head and saw Jiang Shibai slowly picking up the coffee and putting it into his mouth.
The next second, Xu Xian clearly saw his brows furrowed. He took a sip and put down the coffee cup, his dark eyes pressing towards her.
"Is it delicious?" Xu Xian smiled cunningly, and his upturned fox eyes blinked gently.
The amount of sugar she put in was enough to make him die of sweetness.
"Not bad." Jiang Shibai picked it up and took another sip with interest, his tone calm.
Xu Xian's expression was slightly tense, and he suspected that he was trying to show off.
Did she put too little sugar?
"Are you sure?" Xu Xian suspected that there was something wrong with his taste buds.
"Try it." Jiang Shibai held the handle of the coffee cup, stood up and pushed the coffee forward.
Xu Xian stood up in disbelief, walked to the desk and took the coffee, which was so sweet that it went to his throat as soon as he took a sip.
Even for someone who loves sweet things, she felt it was too sweet.
"You're lying." Xu Xian put down the coffee cup and immediately went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water to rinse his mouth. It was so sweet that it was almost unbearable.
Jiang Shibai's chest trembled, and his voice was tinged with doting, "Nothing is sweeter than Mrs. Jiang."
Xu Xian stopped drinking water when she heard that, immediately put down the cup, and fled out of the office without stopping for a second, as if there was a wolf chasing her.
The office returned to calm. Jiang Shibai lowered his eyes to look at the bulge in his trousers. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, closed his slightly red eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "The little goblin is still... too annoying."
Having said that, he got up and went into the lounge to take a shower.
He had to admire his own self-control.
If I don't deliberately drive her away and say a few sweet words to her, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave this office today.
After leaving the office, Xu Xian did not go back to the secretary's office immediately, but went to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was red from her neck to her face, and she couldn't face anyone at all.
She placed her hands on her cheeks until the blush faded, then she returned to the secretary's office.
After clocking in in the afternoon, Jiang Shibai left the office first and went to the underground garage. The secretaries in the secretarial office were talking about how he left work on time.
"Mr. Jiang has been too active in leaving get off work these past two days. He used to stay until late at night!" Tu Xue brought up the topic.
Jiang's Group does not force employees to work overtime, and will provide statutory overtime pay even if the workload is busy.
As the leader of the company, Jiang Shibai is a workaholic. Often, when the lights in the entire building are off, the lights in the president's office on the top floor may still be on.
Cao Guang agreed, "It's true that I haven't seen Mr. Jiang leave work on time for several days in a row."
Almost as soon as five o'clock arrived, Mr. Jiang appeared in the aisle.
Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows, "Isn't it possible that Mr. Jiang has a mistress hidden in his house?"
"Cough——" Xu Xian stopped packing his bag and coughed lightly. He was almost scared to death by her words.
What kind of a beautiful woman in a golden house???
Afraid that Jiang Shibai would get anxious, Xu Xian fastened the chain of his bag, said goodbye to them, and immediately left the secretary's office.
When she took the elevator to the underground garage, she didn't dare get into Jiang Shibai's car until she could no longer see anyone from the company. The speed was so fast that it was unimaginable.
In fact, even if someone saw her riding in Jiang Shibai's car, there would be no problem. After all, she was his secretary, and it was normal for her to follow him to social events.
But she still felt that it was better to have less trouble than more.
"Mrs. Jiang is too cautious." Jiang Shibai started the car after seeing her fasten her seat belt, with a teasing look on his face.
Even thieves are not as timid as her.
Xu Xian glared at him secretly when she heard that. If he hadn't been playing tricks, would she have been so cautious?
"It's all your fault this morning. I lost all my perfect attendance award."
If he hadn't sent his other cars for maintenance that morning, she wouldn't have had to stand in a stalemate with him in the basement for a while, and she wouldn't have been late.
Jiang Shibai looked ahead, and a smile crossed his face when he heard her accusation. "Then how much is Secretary Xu's attendance bonus?"
"One thousand yuan." Xu Xian swiped the screen of his mobile phone and lowered his head to read the novel, thinking that he was just asking casually.
"knew."
Know what?
Xu Xian raised his eyes to look at him, but saw that he was concentrating on driving, so he did not ask any more questions.
When she was almost at the hospital, she finally remembered something. She bit her lip for a long time and spoke hesitantly, "I told my mom last time that we met two months ago and had a mutual understanding, so we got married in a flash. You better not let it slip."
Her mother used to be a teacher and was particularly concerned about details. If she couldn't answer the questions, she would be in trouble.
Jiang Shibai was stunned for a moment, his thin lips twitching slightly as he glanced at Xu Xian who was still playing on his phone. "Then if my mother-in-law asks me about details like who's pursuing whom, how should I answer?"
Before even meeting, he called his mother-in-law to establish a relationship with him.
"Hmm!" Xu Xian licked his red lips. He was indeed careless. "I'll answer when the time comes. You can act accordingly."
He didn't know her mother, so it would be better to let her answer herself.
"So who is chasing whom?" Jiang Shibai kept asking this question, his voice gentle and smiling when you listened carefully.
Suddenly, Xu Xian understood the meaning of his words, turned his head and stared at him, his voice rising and falling, "Is Mr. Jiang satisfied with my pursuit of you?"
He just wanted to say that she took the initiative that night! He had quite a few thoughts on his mind.
Jiang Shibai was satisfied with her answer. He spared a moment to glance at her, and met her clear eyes. "Mrs. Jiang's answer, Mr. Jiang is very satisfied."
"You bastard!" Xu Xian muttered softly and stopped looking at him.
The voice was very soft, but the car was a closed space, so Jiang Shibai heard it clearly. He raised his thin lips slightly but did not refute.
The car stopped smoothly in the underground garage of the Cancer Hospital. Jiang Shibai opened the trunk and took out the gift he had prepared in advance.
Xu Xian was a little surprised when he saw it.
"When did you prepare this?"
"The flowers I bought during my lunch break will make the patient feel better. I brought the ginseng and cordyceps from home as supplements. They are of a certain age and should be effective, but I still need to ask the doctor if I can take them."
The man stood tall and straight, and the pink carnations in his arms did not match him, but softened his cold brows.
Xu Xian forced a smile, "You're thoughtful."
Even though they are just a couple in name only, Jiang Shibai is willing to care about her mother, and this kind of thought is rare.
Jiang Shibai naturally took her hand and said, "Love me and my dog. Mrs. Jiang, don't feel any psychological burden."
As he spoke, he took Xu Xian's hand and walked towards the elevator.
When Xu Xian heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he looked up at the clear jawline on the side of him.
What does he mean?
Then, his eyes fell on the two people's clasped hands, and his emotions were a little subtle, "There's no need to hold hands so early."
When pretending to be affectionate in front of others, holding hands is inevitable, not to mention that to outsiders, the two of them are newlyweds and are in love with each other.
Jiang Shibai lowered his eyes, glanced at their clasped hands, and said nonchalantly, "Get used to it in advance, so as not to be exposed."
The man's large palm felt hot. Xu Xian withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.
