Chapter 35 He couldn't bear to touch her
Jiang Shibai kicked open the door of Xu Xian's room. The room was dim. The cold moonlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a certain light on the white floor tiles.
Moonlight became the only light in the room. Jiang Shibai accurately found the bed, bent down and placed Xu Xian on the quilt with gentle movements.
The bed was soft, and Xu Xian sank into the quilt. The man had his back to the bright moonlight, and she could not see the expression on his face clearly, only his blurry features.
"You, what are you going to do?" Xu Xian grabbed the quilt, pulling out some folds, and kept shrinking back until his back was pressed against the slightly cool headboard.
Jiang Shibai did not straighten his back. In the chaotic night, he kept leaning over, with his bony palms supporting both sides of her body, forming an absolute wrapping posture, leaving her no room to escape.
Two breaths intertwined in the darkness, and the senses continued to magnify. Xu Xian's clear watery eyes collided with the man's unfathomable eyes, and he subconsciously held his breath.
Jiang Shibai felt the breathing in front of him stagnate, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. The ambiguous smile was particularly clear in the quiet room, and the voice was particularly deep and magnetic.
"Mrs. Jiang, don't be nervous."
After saying that, he lifted the quilt beside him and covered her head with it.
Xu Xian's eyes went dark, and before she could make any move, she heard the man's low voice outside the quilt, which seemed muffled because of the isolation of the quilt.
"good evening."
As she finished speaking, she heard the man's steady footsteps gradually moving away. She didn't lift the quilt until the door was locked.
What caught my eye was the dazzling light, which he had turned on before leaving.
Xu Xian, who was sitting on the bed, closed his eyes to adjust to the light, not understanding his operation.
She was 100% sure that Jiang Shibai was aroused just now. After all, she could feel the change in that part when he carried her upstairs.
But he didn't do anything to her, which made Xu Xian a little puzzled.
However, she was more relieved about his departure, as she was not yet ready to become a formal couple with him.
Unlike her who couldn't find the reason, Jiang Shibai left Xu Xian's room and walked into the bathroom of the master bedroom almost in a panic. The freezing cold water poured down from his head, extinguishing the desire in his heart bit by bit.
The light from above fell on the man's flushed face, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He couldn't bear to touch her.
Rather than acting on impulse, he hoped that one day the two of them would naturally get together, not because of desire, but because of pure love.
The night was calm, and Xu Xian was still thinking about what happened last night when she woke up the next day. When she finished packing and went downstairs, she found Jiang Shibai already dressed and sitting at the dining table.
Wearing the same custom-made suit as always, reading the morning paper and waiting for her to have breakfast, he inexplicably gave people a picture of a peaceful life. She seemed to have a glimpse of their future life, which was plain and warm.
Hearing the movement behind him, Jiang Shibai said without turning around: "Come and eat, it will be cold soon."
The man's voice in the early morning was indescribably lustful. It was the laziness and carelessness that one hears after waking up. Every tone sounded like a whisper in one's ear.
Xu Xian's ears felt strangely hot. After responding, he walked over and sat down opposite him. Just as he took a bite of the soup dumpling, he heard the bad news.
"My sister and brother-in-law have received a business trip notice and will be leaving on a flight tomorrow morning. So is it okay to move our meeting up to tonight?" Jiang Shibai put down the morning paper in his hand.
He received a message from his grandmother this morning, but he didn't reply, thinking of asking Xu Xian's opinion first.
Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, the soup dumplings in his mouth occupied his mouth. He couldn't speak and could only nod in agreement.
She actually doesn't care. It makes no difference to her whether they meet one day earlier or one day later.
She had a general idea of the Jiang family through chatting with Jiang Shibai. Grandma was kind and liked her as her granddaughter-in-law very much. Dad didn't express his opinion, but according to Jiang Shibai, not expressing his opinion meant that he was satisfied.
As for my sister and brother-in-law, they only asked a few questions about Jiang Shibai's marriage and had no intention of interfering too much.
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai knew that she didn't take it to heart. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be glad that she was not nervous, or to feel sorry for him because no one took it to heart.
After breakfast, Xu Xian took Jiang Shibai's car to the company as if he was familiar with the route, and got out of the car like a thief every time.
Every time at this moment, she hoped that the car sent for maintenance would be returned as soon as possible.
As soon as they arrived at the office, Tu Xue excitedly leaned over and said, "Xianxian, have you checked the company group? The development manager and the woman who provoked you in the meeting room last time were both arrested for corruption."
"It is said that when the police came to arrest them, they were still in a hotel room! What a wonderful scene."
The company group that Tu Xue mentioned was a large group of the entire group. Some useless notifications would be posted in it every day. Xu Xian blocked it at the beginning, so naturally he didn't know about this matter.
Thinking of this, Xu Xian immediately opened the group chat, read it from beginning to end, and roughly sorted out the ins and outs of the matter.
Shi Quan and Lin Pingwan took advantage of their positions to embezzle company money. They were discovered by internal investigators and the evidence was handed over to the police.
When the police called them, both of them were out of contact. At one point, they thought they were fleeing for fear of crime. Due to the huge amount of money involved, they launched an arrest warrant, but found their hotel check-in records and blocked the two naked people in the hotel.
This matter was also known by Shi Quan's wife, and now it has become a big mess.
"Why did the company start investigating accounting issues out of the blue? In addition to these two, they also found some other people, but I always feel like they are targeting them." Tu Xue muttered to herself.
This incident happened so quickly that no one could react before it was over.
Xu Xian listened to her mumblings and had a guess in his mind. Could it be that Jiang Shi had done it in vain?
He is the only one in the entire company who has this ability.
Moreover, after knowing her situation, he struck her with pinpoint accuracy, hitting her vital points and vital points.
After sitting there for a while, Xu Xian got up and went to the office to grind black coffee for Jiang Shibai. The rich aroma of coffee filled her nose.
She was inexplicably nervous when she knocked on the office door.
"Enter."
After being allowed to enter, Xu Xian subconsciously looked for the man's figure, only to see that he was not sitting in front of the office reviewing documents as usual, but standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back.
It was as if he was waiting for her to come in and bring her coffee.
The man had a tall and broad figure, with the bones of his shoulders faintly visible under his black shirt. The abstinence of black made him look more stable, like a king in the night, controlling everything in the world.
Jiang Shibai turned around and fixed his cold gaze on Xu Xian who came in with a cup of coffee.
Her outfit was very capable, suitable for a secretary. The black lining was decorated with a few silver buttons. The flat shoulder neckline revealed her delicate collarbone. The silver necklace encircled her swan neck, and the pink diamonds contrasted with her white skin.
The brown suit she wore on the outside was the only color on her body, and the black straight skirt was a bit heavy, which highlighted her figure perfectly.
The black roots made a slight thud as they stepped on the floor, getting closer and closer.
Xu Xian put the coffee on the table by the window. She didn't understand why Jiang Shibai kept staring at her, as if he was sizing her up.
"Isn't this outfit suitable for meeting my parents?"
She did not go upstairs to change her clothes in the morning because of the sudden change of meeting time.
"No, it looks very nice." Jiang Shibai withdrew his admiring gaze, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
Seeing that she was standing there, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Secretary Xu, is there something wrong?"
Xu Xian was afraid of being exposed for drinking medicine in his office every day, but recently he has learned his lesson and drinks it obediently at home every morning.
There are no Chinese medicines to take in the office now.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for helping me get revenge." Xu Xian's eyes were clear, and he looked at Jiang Shibai with gratitude.
Jiang Shibai hummed softly, walked towards the desk with an expressionless face, opened the drawer, and took out a black velvet box that was less than the size of a palm.
Xu Xian's eyelids twitched when he saw this, and his fingers clenched slightly.
