Chapter 30: As Mrs. Jiang's Family
Jiang Shibai retracted his gaze and calmly looked at her unharmed palm. He wrapped the towel around her again to secure the ice pack. "Bear with it, I'll give you some candy later."
"Mr. Jiang, I'm already 25 years old." She is not a three-year-old child. There is no need to tempt her with candy, which makes her look greedy and childish.
Jiang Shibai chuckled, his chest trembling slightly. He gently held her hand, tilted his head to look directly into her eyes, and his voice finally carried some emotion. "Secretary Xu also knows that you are 25 years old, so why are you still so impulsive?"
When he saw her slap him, his first reaction was not shock, but fear that she would be hit. Just as he was about to raise his leg to leave, he saw her running faster than a rabbit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
If she hadn't escaped successfully at that moment, or if he hadn't been at the door of the conference room and couldn't stop her in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Once a fight started, no matter who won or lost, they would definitely suffer injuries to varying degrees. This made him a little angry and he felt that she was acting without considering the consequences.
Xu Xian frowned at the sarcastic tone, feeling that men's thoughts were really hard to guess. He said with a headache, "Just say what you want to say."
This man is not decisive at all.
The woman who had always been smooth-talking couldn't understand what he meant, which made Jiang Shibai feel a little helpless. He rubbed her head helplessly, "What if she reacts and hits you?"
Her hair is soft and feels very comfortable to touch.
"I know my limits." Xu Xian curled her lips and silently retorted. She didn't like men rubbing her head. She tilted her head slightly to the side with a look of resistance.
She was not a fool, waiting to be slapped back, but she ran faster than a rabbit, and he did not praise her at all.
"Then should I praise Mrs. Jiang?" As if seeing her arrogant look, Jiang Shibai said in a dangerous tone and narrowed his narrow eyes.
Xu Xian had just experienced Jiang Shibai's indifference and ruthlessness in the conference room, so he immediately did not dare to act rashly and pluck the hair from the tiger's head.
"without."
Having said that, his eyes were still stubborn, and he clearly did not accept Jiang Shibai.
Jiang Shibai looked helpless when he saw this. He had always thought that Xu Xian was stubborn at heart, but he didn't expect it to be true. Once he made up his mind, even ten oxen couldn't pull him back.
Seeing that he was silent, Xu Xian felt a little uncomfortable. He stretched out a fingertip wrapped in the towel and poked the back of his slightly cold hand.
The pink fingertips were filled with blood, forming a sharp visual impact with the man's glowing white skin, one cold and one warm.
"Are you angry?" Xu Xian's voice was soft, mixed with unintentional sweetness, and he asked the question carefully.
Jiang Shibai looked at her calmly, and said in a light tone, "If I get angry, will you be impulsive next time?"
"It depends on the situation." Xu Xian blinked his innocent eyes, his nostrils twitching slightly, without any compromise.
Next time when she encounters a suitable opportunity, she will do it. As for Jiang Shibai's emotions, let him deal with them himself. It is not good for a man to be petty.
Jiang Shibai knew that she didn't care about his feelings at all. A trace of loss flashed across his eyes, and then he regained his composure.
"Then notify me first next time you hit someone."
"Um?"
"As a family member of Mrs. Jiang, we naturally have the right to know so that Mrs. Jiang will not suffer any loss."
Xu Xian: “…”
Which good person would notify the family before slapping someone?
Jiang Shibai didn't expect her to answer. He took off the wet towel and replaced it with another one.
After a while, Xu Xian asked in a muffled voice, "Don't you want to ask me why I beat her?"
Jiang Shibai never asked her this question throughout the whole process. Instead, he was more concerned about her impulsiveness, which made her unable to understand his thoughts.
"Do you want to tell me?" Jiang Shibai looked at her steadily, his eyes moving and his dark pupils glowing.
Xu Xian hesitated for a moment. She used to think there was nothing to hide about this matter, but now she suddenly found it difficult to speak up.
But it was clearly not her who did anything wrong.
"If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to." Jiang Shibai saw the entanglement in her eyes and did not force her. "As long as you are not wronged, it's fine."
The word "wronged" inexplicably touched Xu Xian's heart, and he suddenly skipped a beat and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Two months ago, she lost her virginity. She cried under the shower water, as if pouring out all her grievances. However, the evildoer was not punished afterwards, and she still seemed to feel aggrieved.
She couldn't express this secret emotion and could only hold it in.
"She drugged me and sent me to the buyer as a gift for cooperation. That was the night I met you." Xu Xian suddenly spoke, his voice surprisingly steady, as if it wasn't difficult to express grievance.
Her eyes were clear, and the moment she spoke, it was as if everything had suddenly become clear. The feeling of talking was wonderful.
The next second, she clearly felt Jiang Shibai's hand pause as he was changing the ice pack for her. After several seconds, she saw him look up.
The usually calm man's eyes were filled with thick black ink. His obscure eyes seemed to have a temperature that could burn one's heart. Then his eyes grew colder little by little, and the frost that could not be melted solidified.
Jiang Shibai thought of countless possibilities, and the biggest divergent thinking was that she and Lin Pingwan once competed for performance, but reality often dealt a fatal blow.
"You--" His throat was tight and he couldn't speak.
He couldn't believe how wronged the girl he liked must have felt that night. When she forced herself on him, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol on her and thought she was drunk and unconscious. Now thinking about it, it was indeed abnormal.
Abnormal flushing, abnormal venting, abnormal demands...
If she hadn't escaped that night, would she have felt even more aggrieved, or even acted irrationally?
Jiang Shibai found it hard to imagine what would happen next. He tightened his grip on Xu Xian's hand little by little, completely immersed in his own world.
Xu Xian clearly saw the pain in his eyes, forced a smile, and waved his palm in front of his eyes, "Hey! Come back to your senses, you're pinching my hand so hard it hurts."
"Sorry." Jiang Shibai quickly let go of her hand and carefully checked to see if it had bruised.
"Actually, I was very happy and lucky to meet you that night." Xu Xian's tone was not at all embarrassed, and a smile appeared in her eyes. Compared with the fat and big-eared buyer that night, the one in front of her was simply a top-notch product, and she did not suffer any loss.
Jiang Shibai silently wrapped the towel around her again after hearing this, then raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes full of heartache, "Mrs. Jiang, I wish you hadn't encountered this incident rather than meeting me."
Rather than being lucky enough to have met him, he wished she had never encountered this.
Xu Xian's smile deepened upon seeing this. She could tell he wasn't joking, but was speaking from the heart. She praised him, "Well! Mr. Jiang's character is worthy of praise. Mrs. Jiang gives you a thumbs up."
"Just a like?" A smile finally appeared on Jiang Shibai's face. He knew that Xu Xian didn't want to indulge in the sadness of the past.
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, then slowly moved closer to his face, watching the handsome face in front of him gradually enlarge and his ears turn red little by little.
She stopped a few centimeters from his lips, her red lips slightly parted, and their breaths intertwined, "What else does Mr. Jiang want?"
After saying that, he stepped away from him and kept a certain distance.
In response to her teasing, Jiang Shibai just smiled faintly, knowing that there would be a day when she would return him.
