Chapter 24 "At most, I'll verbally promise to forget..."
When Wen Lingshuang was at home, she would wake up to breakfast and have someone to comfort her when she threw a tantrum. Now that she was at Jiang An's house, forget about breakfast; he wouldn't even come to comfort her if she wanted him to. The princess flew into a rage, hung up the phone, grabbed a pillow and threw it far away, throwing everything on the bed and even kicking the blankets to the floor.
After throwing everything away, I lay on the bed, panting, staring at the ceiling.
After lying there for a few minutes, his anger gradually subsided. He rolled over and lay face down, noticing the neatly made blankets and quilts on the floor, and thought about what had happened last night…
When exactly did things start to get out of control?
It should be when she's overwhelmed with pleasure, when she can't help but cry out.
Her face gradually turned red.
The hand gripping the bed sheet tightened a little.
This is terrible.
How could she scream like that yesterday...?
And it happened right in front of Jiang An.
"Ahhh!" A sudden wave of embarrassment made her bury her head in the sheets, letting out a few muffled cries. "Jiang An, you've gone too far! I don't want to talk to you for a month! I'll chop off your hands too! For touching me like that!"
So annoying!
Jiang An, that bastard, puts on a self-disciplined and refined appearance, but in reality, he's a complete scoundrel! He's so good at kissing and so good at playing around.
She doesn't look like someone who's never been in a relationship.
They may have talked about many things privately.
And he 'played' with each and every one of them like that!
Thinking of this, her shyness was mixed with resentment and anger. She raised her beautiful face, pouted, and whispered, "No, I can't go on like this. I have to be more reserved. If he kisses me again, I have to push him away!"
After setting 'rules' for herself, she tidied her messy hair, then got up and went downstairs, completely ignoring the pillows and blankets that had been thrown on the floor.
The background is still her family's tea garden.
When was this taken?
Wen Lingshuang blinked and examined it carefully, trying hard to recall when it was taken.
When she was a child, her grandfather's tea garden would be used to house the whole family in the spring when the new buds sprouted, so they could enjoy tea. However, those tea mountains were sold off long ago due to government reforms, and the new tea garden is now located near Beijing. She hasn't been to Jiangnan for a very long time.
I guess, just like the last press conference, the photos were all given to me by my parents.
She was a little annoyed and took out her phone to call Tan Yu.
A few seconds later, the call connected, and Wen Lingshuang called out in a slightly coquettish tone, "Mom."
Hearing her daughter Jiaojiao's voice, Tan Yu smiled and said, "Baby, you're awake?"
"Yes, I'm awake."
"Mom, why did you give Jiang An my childhood photos? It's so annoying! If you're going to give him any, give him something prettier. These photos are too ugly."
Tan Yu was taken aback.
I did give Jiang An a lot of photos of Wen Lingshuang before, but I didn't give him any of her childhood photos.
Could it be that when they sent the photos, they included all the photos from when I was a child?
They gave too much; I can't remember it all.
Tan Yu coughed slightly and said, "We're getting married soon, what's wrong with showing me some photos? How was your stay at Jiang An's house last night? Did you get used to it?"
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
Tan Yu: "Why aren't you saying anything? What happened?"
Wen Lingshuang's face turned bright red. "No, no, not good at all! The bed is ridiculously small, and their home decor is terrible—a mix of different styles that I don't like!"
My daughter's voice came through the phone one after another.
Listening to her coquettish complaints, Tan Yu smiled and said, "Then you can suggest to Jiang An that he get a bigger bed and change the decorating style. Oh, by the way, I heard him say that your wedding room should be in the city center? Go take a look when you have time, and discuss the style with the designer in advance, so that you can be more comfortable when you move in."
"We'll talk about it later," Wen Lingshuang interrupted her mother. "I'm hanging up."
There are still a few months until the wedding, and the wedding houses Jiang An provided were all based on the Jiang family's 'fortune-telling rules,' such as having a son soon... two boys and one girl... as if moving in would immediately make you pregnant.
She's only 25 and doesn't want to be a mother so early.
You want her to live here? No way! She has to live in our own home after we get married.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Lingshuang turned and went into the kitchen.
The entire villa was not only deserted and lacking in human warmth, but even the kitchen was empty.
It was the first time she had ever seen a kitchen refrigerator that was completely empty, containing nothing but bottled water and milk.
After opening two bottles of fresh milk and barely managing to fill my stomach, I went upstairs to change my clothes and left the villa.
The weather was alright today, not too hot. On my way home, I received a call from my best friend Huang Shaoyun, who wanted to invite me to afternoon tea. Recently, half of her group of best friends have had some family problems and they rarely get together anymore. I hadn't seen Huang Shaoyun for a while either, so I didn't refuse when she invited me.
Huang Shaoyun asked her to meet at a coffee shop in the city center. The shops in this area are extremely valuable, and the Huang family owns three streets, with the coffee shop being one of those shops.
As you step inside, a rich aroma of coffee wafts through the air.
Further inside, you'll see Huang Shaoyun sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window.
She walked over in her high heels and greeted her, "Sister Yun, what brings you here today?"
Upon hearing the voice, Huang Shaoyun knew who it was without even looking. She turned her head, smiled, and said, "It's been so long since I've seen you. I missed you. Please have a seat."
After Wen Lingshuang sat down, she took off her sunglasses and said, "You didn't even call me. You've all been acting like you've seen a ghost lately, busy with family matters and ignoring me."
Huang Shaoyun stirred her coffee and sighed, "What can I do? Things at home are more important."
After saying that, she looked at Wen Lingshuang and asked in a low voice, "Is Cong Yin's family about to go bankrupt? And Xu Wen, she's been missing for a while."
“I didn’t ask, but the situation doesn’t look good.” Wen Lingshuang pretended to be deep in thought. “I don’t know about Xu Wen. I haven’t been in contact with her for a long time. I don’t know if she’s abroad or somewhere else.”
“Xu Wen is abroad,” Huang Shaoyun said in a low voice. “I heard from the other girls that Xu Wen has been kept by a sugar daddy.”
"Huh?" Wen Lingshuang exaggeratedly covered her mouth with her hand. "Impossible, the Xu family is quite rich, how could Xu Wen do such a thing?"
"Xu Wen isn't a legitimate eldest daughter of the Xu family. Her mother is a mistress, you know that. These days, which illegitimate child lives a better life than someone born to the legal wife?"
Hearing this, Wen Lingshuang's face turned somewhat ugly, and she sneered, "That's not necessarily true. My fiancé is doing quite well."
Huang Shaoyun paused for a moment, realizing she had misspoke, and quickly slapped her cheek, laughing as she said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean Jiang An. He's different from Xu Wen. He's the proper head of the Jiang family. I meant Xu Wen has no power or influence and can't be considered the eldest daughter of the Xu family."
Wen Lingshuang is known in the industry for protecting her own.
Anyone she cares about is someone she can't talk to or touch.
Huang Shaoyun didn't want to clash with Wen Lingshuang.
Putting aside the fact that they are in the same circle, just talking about her marriage to Jiang An, Jiang An is not like Xu Wen who has nothing. With one hand, he can bring down most of the companies in Beijing and make countless industries disappear. Apart from the fact that he is an illegitimate child, he has already overshadowed Jiang Xu and Jiang Qi, who were born into the legal family. He is undoubtedly the one in power.
Fearing that Wen Lingshuang would be angry, Huang Shaoyun added, "I saw your press conference a while ago, and Jiang An is really so handsome. I told my sisters that we should marry someone like him—handsome, powerful, and caring."
Hearing this, Wen Lingshuang's expression softened slightly, and she said in a calm tone, "Don't drag Jiang An into this anymore. He's not like what people say."
Huang Shaoyun remained outwardly calm as she listened to Wen Lingshuang's protective tone, but her heart was in turmoil.
From the news of the marriage between the two families to the press conference, and now, it hasn't been long, has it? I was just chatting with them about Jiang An's gossip a while ago, and now they're already protecting each other.
Thinking about it carefully, there are too many men in the industry to count on two hands. The tricks and methods these men used to pursue her were endless. I've never seen any man win her over in such a short time. But if there's a difference, it's probably that among those who pursued her, Jiang An has the most power and the strongest family background.
"So, your relationship with Chen Xuanhe is completely over?"
Wen Lingshuang sneered, "When have I ever had a relationship with him?"
“Every time you reject him so coldly, Young Master Chen gets a hangover. Yesterday, he drank so much at Lanfang that he vomited blood and was sent to the hospital.”
"yesterday?"
Huang Shaoyun nodded, "Yes, they're all saying it's because of you. Did you see each other yesterday?"
I've seen more than just it.
I also saw him join forces with Jiang Xu and Jiang Qi to deal with Jiang An.
She was furious.
Wen Lingshuang snorted coldly, "Never seen it before, but it won't die anyway, so what's it to me?"
The sky was dark, and a storm was brewing.
Wen Lingshuang and Huang Shaoyun chatted about some other gossip, and before they knew it, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
As the two walked out the door, Wen Lingshuang prepared to go home when she received a call from Jiang An, who asked where she was.
Wen Lingshuang was angry when she heard his voice. He said he would come back and pour her milk after the meeting when she woke up, but it was already past five o'clock and he hadn't gotten up yet.
She coldly said it was near the Suxin Building.
"wait for me."
Jiang An hung up after his deep voice came through.
A few minutes later, a low-key Cayenne pulled up in front of the café. Jiang An got out of the back seat and opened the car door for Wen Lingshuang.
Wen Lingshuang glanced at her haughtily and said somewhat angrily, "I won't sit!"
Jiang An looked at her haughty posture and knew she was angry.
But there were just too many things to do today. After the meeting, there was a shareholders' meeting and a project approval meeting. By the time he finished all that work, it was already evening. He didn't know how to coax her, so he leaned down next to her and whispered, "Then I'll carry you upstairs?"
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
What is he saying...?
In public, under the watchful eyes of everyone...
Wen Lingshuang bit her red lips, took a step and sat down.
As soon as I sat down, the partition inside the car had already fallen down, separating the front and back seats.
After Jiang An got in, the car slowly drove forward.
Perhaps because the two of them crossed that line last night, their body temperature was rising infinitely as they sat together. Wen Lingshuang felt her face burning up for no reason, as if she had a fever.
Whenever she thinks about how she can achieve this.
He's already gone to that extent.
If she hadn't forcefully stopped him yesterday, he might have done even more outrageous things.
How could such a disparate place possibly accommodate him?
She bit her lip, turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window, and tried her best not to look at Jiang An.
Jiang An leaned slightly against the car window, turning his body to look at Wen Lingshuang.
She's beautiful in every way—beautiful when she blushes, beautiful when she's coquettish, and even beautiful when she's scolding him.
A flower in full bloom, radiating wealth and beauty, should be like this, exuding an alluring charm.
It's a bit of a pity.
He only got a taste.
"Vast and magnificent".
He gently called her name, raised his hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, and his fingertips inadvertently caressed her skin. The burning sensation made them both tremble involuntarily.
Are you staying at Nanxi again tonight?
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
What's the difference between this and asking her about what happened last night and asking her to repeat it all over again?
She turned her head and glared at him, pursing her lips as she said, "No!"
Unless he can guarantee he won't touch her again.
Jiang An was somewhat disappointed.
He really wanted to sleep in the same bed and live in the same house as her.
I want to see her as soon as I open my eyes, and I even want to hold her while I sleep.
Although the last one is a bit difficult to achieve.
It's hard to fall asleep when I'm holding her.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to living alone, so the villa is a bit quiet and there are no servants. But after today, there will be servants at home, as well as your toiletries. See if you need anything else, just let me know, and I will satisfy you."
“I’ll satisfy you…” she pouted her red lips and said, “You said you’d be back after the meeting, where are you? It’s already five o’clock and you’re only just showing up!”
Hearing her coquettish tone, Jiang An couldn't help but smile. "I've been busy with work. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
After a pause, he added, "Also, I'm sorry about what happened last night."
Wen Lingshuang's face burned, and she said, "Forget about this! Don't mention it again!"
Jiang An remained silent for a moment.
He shook his head.
I can agree to anything else, but I really can't agree to this.
He could not forget her charming voice, the way she held his arm with such passion, or the way she whispered his name as her fingers pierced his skin.
He just wanted to see her lose control.
He wanted to see her cry because of him.
Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and he gave them all to Wen Lingshuang.
Therefore, there's no way to avoid mentioning it, no way to stop thinking about it.
"Please be more understanding of me, okay?" His hand slowly landed on hers and gently held it. "At most, I'll promise to forget."
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
