Chapter 9: Mrs. Jiang, there is still a long way to go
Jiang Shibai's expression changed slightly, but it was all restrained in an instant. He said in a drawling tone, "Should I thank Mrs. Jiang for her thoughtfulness?"
His tone was the same as usual, but Xu Xian inexplicably heard a hint of danger. However, since it concerned their future, it was better to act cautiously.
"I'm not pregnant, so naturally I don't need you to assume the responsibility of being a father."
Jiang Shibai almost laughed out of anger. It seemed that he only had the responsibilities of a father. "Then I will assume the responsibilities and obligations of a husband."
"Ah? No, I—" Xu Xian's fox eyes widened slightly, and he hesitated to speak. Finally, he thought of a way to phrase it, "You're anxious to get married and have children, and your family is urging you to do so. But I'm not in a hurry. If I don't divorce you now, it would be a waste of your precious time!"
After saying that, she blinked at Jiang Shibai sincerely, as if she was thinking about him.
Jiang Shibai saw the innocent expression in her eyes. He lowered his body slightly and slowly approached her ear. Xu Xian noticed his intention and subconsciously stepped back.
Unexpectedly, her head remained motionless, held tightly by a strong and powerful hand. She could only watch helplessly as the man's mouth rested on her earlobe, his hot breath stimulating her sensitive nerves.
The hospital corridor was filled with noise, but his words were clear.
"Mrs. Jiang, we have a long time to live, so there is no need to rush to give birth to an heir."
After that, he paused and added, "I didn't say we were a contract couple."
What he wanted from the beginning to the end was legal husband and wife status.
Jiang Shibai did not do anything excessive. He moved away from her red ears and stared at her with a smile in his eyes as she stood there in a daze. Finally, he took her slender wrist and took her to see a Chinese doctor.
She didn't come back to her senses until her pulse was taken and Chinese medicine was prescribed. All she could think about was what Jiang Shibai said to her.
Is she a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth?
This time, when he returned to the car in a daze, Jiang Shibai did not ask her if she needed help fastening her seat belt, but leaned over and pulled the seat belt.
Xu Xian looked at the handsome face that was enlarged in front of her, and even the delicate hairs on his face were clearly visible. She shrank back uneasily, but found that there was no space at all.
"Home address." Jiang Shibai fastened his own seat belt, turned his head to look at the man whose neck and face were completely red, and spoke in a gentle voice.
Xu Xian exclaimed "Ah" and realized that it was already time to get off work and he really didn't need to go back to the company.
"Jinjiang West Road..."
Jiang Shibai turned on the navigation and the car drove out of the underground garage at a normal speed. Due to the evening traffic congestion, it was difficult to move forward halfway and the car was moving at a snail's pace.
Jiang Shibai spared a bit of energy, looked at Xu Xian who was playing with her phone in the passenger seat, and dropped a bomb on her.
"Tomorrow is Saturday. I'll pick you up at ten in the morning and take you to our house. You can pack some seasonal clothes, and we can buy the rest."
Xu Xian's hand trembled as he replied to the message. He seriously suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Moving in with him? Did she think her life was too long?
At work, I am watched by my boss, and after work, I still have to live under his nose!!!
"How about we discuss it again?" The shocking news broke out in Xu Xian's heart. He tried to solve the problem through discussion and looked at him eagerly.
After spending a day with Jiang Shibai, she found that he was easy to talk to and would not use force to force her.
The traffic flow cleared and Jiang Shibai sped up. His hands holding the steering wheel were bony and when he heard her words, his fingertips unconsciously tapped the steering wheel and his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Mrs. Jiang, I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. Have you ever seen a newlywed couple separate?"
Hearing his tone that left no room for maneuver, the light of hope in Xu Xian's eyes died.
She endured it for the sake of the property.
Seeing her becoming dejected, Jiang Shibai smiled silently, and a dark light flashed in his ink-black eyes.
It turns out that you can't be too easy to talk to, otherwise she will take advantage of you and try to climb up the ladder.
After sending her to the building in her community, Xu Xian opened the door at lightning speed. Just as he was about to step out and escape successfully, he was restrained by the back of his neck by fate.
Jiang Shibai easily grabbed her collar, glanced at the back seat, and said casually, "Don't forget to take the Chinese medicine in the back seat. Remember to put it in the refrigerator."
Xu Xian's eyes were filled with tears that were about to fall. She just didn't want to drink it, so she wanted to pretend that she forgot to take it.
Irregular menstruation is an old problem. Her mother has taken her to see a Chinese doctor before. Every time, she drank half of the Chinese medicine and threw away the other half because it was too bitter.
She would rather die in pain than take Chinese medicine.
However, the current situation was not favorable to her, so she was able to bend and stretch, and said aggrievedly, "Okay."
Seeing that she was obedient, Jiang Shibai moved his fingertips slightly, allowing Xu Xian to escape. He hurriedly took the Chinese medicine from the back seat and ran upstairs without a trace.
There was no elevator in the old neighborhood, so she ran all the way to the fourth floor before stopping to breathe. Through the window on the stairs, she watched the luxurious Bentley drive away, getting farther and farther away, and the car's tail disappeared after it turned a corner.
Xu Xian touched his pounding heart, lowered his eyes and stood there for a moment, then went up to the fifth floor with the Chinese medicine.
On the other side, Jiang Shibai returned to the hospital and went straight to the dean's office.
"Is Mr. Jiang here for inspection?" Dean Li saw Jiang Shibai at the door and hurriedly stood up from his office chair to greet him.
In the afternoon, he received a call from Jiang Shibai, who arranged for a lady to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a check-up. However, he was busy with an operation and did not go to say hello in person.
Huiren Hospital is a hospital under the Jiang Group. It has many branches across the country and is well-known.
Jiang Shibai didn't exchange pleasantries and directly handed Xu Xian's report to him. "Please find a senior doctor to look at my wife's physical examination report. If you have any questions, please send me a WeChat message."
During the afternoon examination, in addition to the obstetrics and gynecology items, he added some extra items for her, intending to do a full physical examination for the sake of the child's health.
Dean Li paused while taking the report, Madam?
Why didn't he receive any news about President Jiang's marriage?
"Okay, I'll ask the hospital's doctor to produce a detailed report then."
Jiang Shibai wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly he remembered the message he received when the plane landed in the morning.
"Is my grandma okay?"
As soon as the plane landed in the morning, he received a message from Aunt Liu saying that his grandmother had chest pain, but he specifically asked his mother and found out that it was his grandmother who was just throwing a tantrum, so he didn't care.
Dean Li's face stiffened slightly. He wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead and hesitated to speak. "This, this..."
Yesterday, Madam Jiang insisted that she had to be hospitalized because of heart pain, and specifically instructed him not to tell the truth to President Jiang. But President Jiang is his superior, and whether he can keep his job depends entirely on his decision.
Thinking of this, Dean Li spoke truthfully: "The old lady has been suffering from chronic illnesses for many years and does not need to be hospitalized."
Hearing his euphemistic answer, Jiang Shibai understood something and frowned slightly, "I know, thank you for your hard work."
After saying that, he turned and left the office and headed to the VIP ward of the inpatient department.
As soon as I walked into the living room, I heard a slightly older voice, "Why hasn't Shi Bai come yet? Didn't I send him a message? He should have been off work by this time."
"Don't worry, old lady. The young master might be on his way. The most important thing is to eat first."
"How can he have an appetite? He's almost thirty and doesn't even have a woman by his side. Sooner or later, the Jiang family's continuation will be ruined in his hands."
"Isn't there still the young lady? The family line continues."
"I don't really mean that. I just want him to have someone by his side so he doesn't feel lonely all day. He's the workaholic I'm talking about."
"How about I call and urge the young master?"
"Let's not do that. He didn't come to see me the first thing he did after getting off the plane. He must have heard from somewhere that I was faking illness."
"This brat is very smart."
