Chapter 13 "It's dirty again."...
When the words 'vast and vast' entered her ears, Wen Lingshuang's beautiful brows furrowed.
She married Jiang An.
It's not with the Jiang brothers, Jiang Xu and Jiang Qi.
What right do they have to call her by her nickname?
He hung up the phone in a few seconds, not wanting to hear the other person's voice, and turned over to continue sleeping.
Jiang An, on the other end of the phone, stared at the suddenly black screen, his grip on the phone tightening involuntarily.
Seeing this, Lon took a lighter out of his pocket and handed it to the table.
Jiang An hadn't smoked for a very long time, to the point that the smell of smoke made him nauseous. He raised his left hand to put the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the lighter on the table with his right hand, and after a few seconds of silence, a soft 'sizzle' sounded, and an orange-red flame leaped into his eyes.
He bit the cigarette and held the butt up to the flame.
Soon, a faint tobacco scent filled the air.
"The meeting tonight will be postponed to tomorrow morning."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the door.
*
Wen Lingshuang slept until evening. When she opened her eyes, the sunset outside the window was scattering through the milky white curtains. A gentle breeze blew, and the faint fragrance of lilies filled her nose. It was so comfortable that she turned over and continued to sleep on her pillow.
She had been asleep for about ten minutes when Tan Zhu pressed one of his legs onto her waist, finally waking her up completely.
He propped himself up and laid Tan Zhu's legs flat, nudged her arm, and seeing that she was still unconscious, he got out of bed barefoot and walked downstairs. When he reached the corner, he saw a man in a black suit sitting on the sofa in the lobby. He was elegant and had a noble air about him. Who else could it be but Jiang An?
What is he doing at her house?
Wen Lingshuang had just woken up, wearing a nightgown and without makeup, her hair disheveled.
Looking like this, I can't even face people, let alone guests.
She turned around abruptly, intending to walk towards her room, when she heard Ah Shui standing downstairs calling out, "Hey, Miss is awake."
"..."
Wen Lingshuang's back was stiff, and her hand holding the armrest inevitably curled up.
Good job, Ah Shui.
Jiang An was undermining her.
Like Tan Zhu, he turned his back on others.
She slowly turned around and met Jiang An's dark, deep eyes.
Jiang An crossed his legs, his long, straight, and shapely legs encased in suit trousers. With his striking features, handsome and unparalleled, he slightly raised his head to look at her, raised his teacup, and said, "Awake?"
Wen Lingshuang took a deep breath and smiled, "You're awake? What brings you here?"
"I wanted to check on you to see how you were sleeping."
"..."
Wen Lingshuang took a deep breath and said, "Please wait a moment."
After saying that, she turned and went upstairs. Seven or eight minutes later, she came downstairs again, now wearing a beautiful light green velvet dress. Her thick, black hair was tied up, revealing her delicate and beautiful features. She was wearing a complete set of pearl accessories, including a necklace, earrings, and bracelet, which made her look as beautiful and delicate as a flower.
Jiang An stared at her without reservation.
Wen Lingshuang enjoyed the attention; with such a beautiful appearance, it would be strange if he didn't stare at her.
After sitting down on the sofa, I picked up the teacup in front of me and drank it.
Jiang An, unlike her, was able to remain calm. He put down his teacup and said, "The press conference today has ended, and the news of our marriage has been made public. So, whether in public or in private, we are one. I will inform you of some things in advance. If you have anything you want to tell me in advance, you can say so, or it's fine if you don't."
That's weird.
Wen Lingshuang frowned. "Just say it directly, I don't understand."
Jiang An pondered for a moment, "First, I've never kept a woman before. If the word 'keeping' is considered a compliment, then you are the first woman I've kept. Of course, you have absolute freedom. I didn't say that keeping someone means controlling them."
Wen Lingshuang, with hot tea in her mouth, almost spat it out when she heard, "You are the first woman I've ever raised."
My heart was pounding like a drum.
The hand holding the teacup tightened a little.
She promised that if Jiang An didn't sit across from her, she would be so embarrassed that she would bury her head in the pillow.
An old man, yet he dares to say his methods aren't sophisticated.
"Secondly, I will not support women in the future, what you call keeping a mistress."
"Third, if you have any complaints, you can speak up directly. You won't find anything by using investigative methods. All the information you have about me is only half true and half false."
There are indeed counter-surveillance and counter-investigation methods in the industry, usually used when being investigated, but Wen Lingshuang has never investigated Jiang An. Firstly, because the news about him has already spread throughout the industry, and regardless of whether it is true or false, she has never heard of it. Secondly, she always inexplicably believes every word he says.
It was like seeing a ghost.
Jiang An wasn't angry; he listened to her with great interest.
He wanted to hear what other shocking things that beautiful mouth could say.
"Secondly, don't make any promises to me, especially promises like supporting women. I don't believe them."
There are too many fake couples in the entertainment industry.
Most people go about their own business and return home to continue their loving relationship. In comparison, her family is much happier and more fulfilling. At least her parents truly love each other, and her father has no scandals. If Jiang An wants to implement the policy of each going their own way, then all the previous discussions are null and void.
She wanted more than just control over his finances.
Pre-marital property division is also required.
What if he really is having an affair and then takes a share of her money? Wouldn't that be like getting something for nothing? And if he's too promiscuous, she might get diseases. Yes, sex life should be restricted; maybe there shouldn't be any sex after marriage...
Wen Lingshuang's thoughts drifted off to who knows where.
Seeing that she was staring blankly into the distance as she spoke, Jiang An slowly said, "I didn't mean to make any promises to you. I just want to say that if you're so eager to know whether I'm keeping a mistress, just ask me directly. Investigations are unreliable."
Wen Lingshuang was still in a daze.
Jiang An continued, "I've been investigating a girl recently, but I only feel gratitude towards her, nothing more. As for going to a hotel with her, that's outrageous. I'm too busy with work every day, where would I find the time to go to a hotel with a woman?"
Book a room?
Hearing those two words, Wen Lingshuang snapped out of her daze and turned to look at him. "What do you mean, 'book a room'?"
"Didn't you say on the phone that you wanted to investigate my hotel bookings?" Jiang An leaned forward slightly. "Yangyang, I'm really not interested in this, and I don't have time for it."
Her beautiful reflection was in his dark, deep eyes.
A hint of surprise, a touch of coquettishness...
She opened her mouth slightly, her red lips parted, but it was unclear whether she caught him mentioning booking a hotel room or that he was uninterested in the idea.
Two bombs fell at the same time, leaving her in a state of confusion.
"Book a hotel room? What hotel room..." She looked at him and murmured, "You're not interested in this? Is it for physical reasons or psychological reasons?"
This is getting more and more outrageous.
Jiang An began to have a headache.
He raised his hand to rub his temples. "Have you forgotten what you said on the phone?"
What was said on the phone...
Wen Lingshuang tried hard to recall.
Suddenly, I snapped back to reality and remembered that I had vaguely received a phone call upstairs and said something like, "Investigate thoroughly, find out if I'm keeping mistresses... or hotel records... and cash flow... I want to see if any money has been spent on women... If so, I'll have something on me."
It turned out to be Jiang An calling!
Wen Lingshuang's face immediately turned bright red. He had overheard her investigating her brother and was being misunderstood.
Seeing her flushed face, Jiang An knew she had remembered. He said in a low voice, "You can check the hotel records as you like. I can also have Lon prepare a financial statement for you. It will be clear where the money was spent. But as for whether you say it's for physical or psychological reasons..."
After a moment of silence, "Neither."
I'm simply not interested.
But not now.
Ever since that time I saw her naked in the teahouse.
If you're not interested, it loses its charm.
"You...you..." Wen Lingshuang pursed her red lips, "Why didn't you say so sooner? Were you deliberately trying to embarrass me?!"
"?" Jiang An frowned, wondering what he had done wrong.
Wen Lingshuang was both angry and embarrassed.
He was angry that his investigation had been exposed, and ashamed that he had said those things to him.
She stood up abruptly, angrily saying, "So what if you know! I'm going to investigate this thoroughly!"
If we don't find something to hold against him, how will we get along with the Jiang family in the future?
Jiang An raised his hand and straightened her slightly askew skirt, saying, "Why don't you just say what you want to investigate? I'm right in front of you, I'll tell you everything I know."
"I want to investigate Jiang Xu and Jiang Qi!"
Jiang An raised an eyebrow, "Investigate them?"
Her hand, which was adjusting her skirt, froze in mid-air. She squinted slightly. "Why are you investigating them?"
A subtle danger and awe emanated from his eyes, spreading like vines.
When Wen Lingshuang sensed that hint of danger, her anger subsided slightly.
The sheer aura emanating from it was enough to send chills down one's spine.
She sat back on the sofa and said, "Didn't you hear your dad say that you're very busy with work and rarely home? What am I supposed to do when you're not home? No one will stand up for me. If Yao Fei, Jiang Xu, and Jiang Qi team up to bully me, I'll be no match for them, let alone eight, ten, or even a hundred!"
She got angrier and angrier as she spoke, her eyes wide and her cheeks puffed out.
Seeing her like that, Jiang An shook his head helplessly.
So that's how it is.
"Am I not human?"
“Of course you’re not human.” She stared at him with her bright, grape-like eyes. “You’re a member of the Jiang family, and I’m a member of the Wen family.”
Jiang An finally understood why people in the industry said Wen Lingshuang was pretentious.
She's pretentious.
She's so affected that you can't dislike her.
"Then what do you want? Do you only feel comfortable if you have something on Jiang Xu and Jiang Qi?"
She crossed her arms and nodded vigorously, "That's right!"
"Then I'll give you one."
Wen Lingshuang was taken aback, then turned to look at him, "Give me one?"
Jiang An nodded.
Wen Lingshuang was skeptical. "Really?"
Jiang An smiled without saying a word, just watching her.
"If you want to hear it, come closer."
Wen Lingshuang pondered for a moment, then reluctantly moved her bottom and slowly sat down next to Jiang An, putting her ear close to his mouth.
As soon as he got close, he could feel her faint breath lingering in his ear, burning hot. Was it possible that if he just lowered his head, if he just got a little closer, he could kiss her earlobe?
Jiang An lowered his dark eyes, his gaze falling upon fair and smooth skin. He wore a pair of round and full pearl earrings on his earlobes, which made his skin appear even whiter than porcelain. His thick and long eyelashes were like raven feathers, casting shadows that reflected a dark light. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he spoke softly.
He only said a few words.
Wen Lingshuang's eyes gradually grew larger.
Then she turned around abruptly, wanting to ask him if he was lying or if it was true.
But with a glance back, the light red mark was gently brushed against the collar of the shirt around the neck.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Jiang An placed one hand on the back of the sofa and sat sideways. The natural difference in their body shapes made Wen Ling Shuang, who was sitting on his left, feel as if she were being embraced by him. She clutched her dress in her small hands and murmured, "It's... it's dirty again."
She spoke softly.
And this word is very effective.
They had just kissed in the car during the day.
At the same spot, with a mere touch, he completely broke down, collapsing in tears.
It's still here, but it's not as uncontrollable as it was during the day.
Jiang An raised his hand and gently brushed the spot where she had kissed him, saying, "Then what should we do?"
That's what I meant...
Wen Lingshuang bit her lip, "Shall I help you wash?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
In all her life, who has she ever washed clothes for?
Jiang An was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "That's troublesome."
"..."
No, how could he possibly do that?
Her ten slender hands had never washed anything before.
never mind.
One piece of evidence, exchanged for a shirt—a great deal!
At least she has a direction to follow.
She raised her hand and pointed to the cubicle opposite, "Go inside and change. Just put your clean clothes on the rack."
Jiang An stood up. "Thank you. Remember to wash your hands."
"..."
