Chapter 73: My dear, it feels good to be a landlord!
The man at the door was wearing a pure black coat and had a tall figure, as if he was born to wear clothes. His face with strong lines softened slightly, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips. He looked gentle, but was actually distant.
The innate aura of superiority and natural nobility complement each other, making it impossible to take your eyes off him just by standing there.
The box suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Shibai. His expression did not change at all, and he was used to facing the attention.
"Who are you?" Han Yiran was the first to react.
Jiang Shibai nodded slightly, his eyes swept around and finally landed on Xu Xian. The cold smile in his eyes became more intense and a little more tender.
"I'm Xu Xian's husband, Jiang Shibai."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards Xu Xian's position step by step, not paying attention to the surprised, understanding or horrified looks of the people around him.
Han Yiran looked at the man in front of her with extraordinary temperament and was slightly stunned. No wonder Xu Xian got married. This man and Sheng Anyang were simply not in the same dimension.
One is calm and introverted, the other is sunny and handsome. The two have completely different styles. What's more, the noble temperament he possesses is something Sheng Anyang may never be able to achieve in his lifetime.
"Xianxian, you've hidden your husband so well! He's not just an old man, he's clearly tall, rich and handsome!"
Xu Xian pursed his lips and smiled. Who would have thought that Jiang Shibai would come at such a coincidence.
Compared to the inquiring eyes of the crowd, An Qianyuan had a face full of jealousy and unwillingness, and glared at Xu Xian fiercely.
As expected, she and Xu Xian had different auras. Her husband was obviously not an old man, but she deliberately misled her and made her embarrassed in front of her classmates.
Jiang Shibai stopped in front of Xu Xian and saw that she had not taken off her coat and scarf, and she was still standing there. He felt a little strange for a moment.
"Why are you standing there? Are you going to leave?"
"No." Xu Xian shook his head and took off the scarf around his neck.
She was being teased the moment she entered the room, so she had no time to take off her clothes and scarf.
Jiang Shibai usually served her a lot, taking the scarf and coat and folding them skillfully. The loving behavior of the two was seen by everyone present, and they smiled at each other ambiguously.
Both of them have outstanding looks and the height difference is just right. The bright light in the box falls on them, like a beautiful portrait.
No one mentioned the little episode just now, and Xu Xian was not interested in bringing up the past in front of Jiang Shibai. After everyone sat down, they chatted and laughed.
In addition to reminiscing about the past, the topics of class reunions often fall on everyone's current lives and careers.
There were several young couples or lovers present, and everyone took turns asking about each other's love history, making the dinner table very happy.
Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian did not participate too much in the topic. They seemed to be just here to have a meal. Jiang Shibai was either picking up food for Xu Xian or picking out fish bones the whole time, and his actions were very normal.
The man was elegant, gentle and modest in his manners. One could tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person. He exuded the aura cultivated by his family since childhood, which was hard to ignore.
The focus tonight is almost entirely on Xu Xian. She was already surrounded by topics, and now she has a husband with a mysterious background. Naturally, everyone will not miss the opportunity to gossip.
Although they said it was gossip, they were actually also trying to find out Jiang Shibai's background. After all, this dinner was not only about reminiscing about the past, but also about making connections.
"I remember Xu Xian once declared that he wouldn't get married before he turned 30! Unexpectedly, that's considered early among our classmates." Someone brought the topic to Xu Xian, and naturally others followed suit.
"That's true. During military training in my freshman year, we were sitting in the playground playing Truth or Dare. She said that herself."
Xu Xian paused in his eating and glanced at Jiang Shibai beside him calmly. Seeing that his expression did not change, he knew that he didn't take it to heart. He smiled and replied, "I was young at that time and just made it up. After all, the future is unpredictable."
When she was a freshman in college, she had very simple thoughts. She thought that she would most likely end up alone. After losing the game, she was very perfunctory when answering the question about the age at which she should get married on the card.
"Then I'm quite curious. How outstanding must your Mr. Jiang be to allow you to get married just two years after graduation?"
"Where is Mr. Jiang employed? Our Xianxian is a good girl. She can't be looking for a husband with such poor conditions!"
Jiang Shibai was picking fish bones slowly. When he heard someone ask him, he raised his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "It's not a high-ranking job. I just opened a small medical device company."
He didn't mention the name of the company, mainly because he was worried that people present would think Xu Xian was showing off his wealth with him, so he simply kept it ambiguous.
"So you two are in the same business, aren't you?"
They knew that Xu Xian worked in a medical device company, but they didn't know which company it was.
Xu Xian has no habit of hiding things. Her classmates have nothing to do with the medical industry. Even if they knew Jiang Shibai's identity, they would not tell the company.
"We are from the same company and he is my boss."
Han Yiran, who was sitting next to her, said in surprise, "Xianxian, you're amazing. You've directly taken the position of the boss lady! The workers have risen up and the serfs are singing."
She originally thought that Xu Xian was just marrying a rich husband, but she didn't expect that she would marry her boss directly.
Xu Xian: “…”
That seems to be the meaning.
Jiang Shibai smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "My dear, it feels good to be a landlord, right?"
His voice was gentle and doting. Since they were sitting close to each other, Xu Xian could hear every word he said. There were about twenty people present, and he felt a little embarrassed, with his cheeks slightly flushed.
"Stop talking nonsense."
The scolding, neither light nor heavy, made Jiang Shibai's smile grow even wider. He raised the corners of his eyes and placed the fish meat with the bones removed from the porcelain plate next to Xu Xian.
His every move, every frown and smile stung the eyes of An Qianyuan opposite her. Her face became distorted and she stared at Xu Xian viciously.
Why did Xu Xian have Sheng Anyang chasing after her in college, and after graduation she could find a man who doted on her deeply?
God is so unfair to her. Their family conditions were obviously similar before, and later Xu Xian was not as good as her, but God always favored her.
Jealousy clouded An Qianyuan's mind, and she blurted out, "Tsk! How did the boss lady get to sit here? I don't know!"
The implication is that Xu Xian used her beauty to seduce Jiang Shibai.
As soon as the words fell, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became cold, and everyone fell silent and looked at each other.
No one is a fool. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian are very much in love. No one would go up to cause trouble. What's more, they also run a company and are too busy maintaining relationships to make them sabotage.
As the organizer of the dinner, Han Yiran frowned and spoke up to defend Xu Xian, "An Qianyuan, don't go too far. We are all classmates. Even if you and Xu Xian had some unpleasantness in the past, you can't just spread rumors."
Xu Xian narrowed her eyes and her smile faded. Did she give An Qianyuan a hard time?
He wanted to curse back, but someone held the back of his hand. When he looked up, he saw Jiang Shibai's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and there was no smile in his eyes anymore, and he looked extremely cold.
He looked An Qianyuan up and down indifferently, and his cold eyes made her heart tremble involuntarily, and she avoided Jiang Shibai's terrifying eyes nervously.
"You're right. I seduced Xianxian into sitting with the boss lady. I wonder what this lady thinks?"
