Chapter 43 "Sit still and don't talk!"...
When Jiang An returned to the manor after finishing his official business, it was already late at night. To him, the manor and the Jiang family were just tools and places to solve his food, clothing and shelter. He had no concept of 'home' and no intention of establishing a 'family'. But he felt that the manor was different from before, perhaps because Wen Lingshuang had stayed there these past few days.
She likes flowers.
Even a yard full of flowers couldn't satisfy her.
She likes cars.
Dozens of cars are no different from scrap metal if she's not satisfied with them.
She also enjoys wine tasting.
This was his most troublesome hobby. People who enjoy wine usually have a good alcohol tolerance, but she had a terrible tolerance. She would get dizzy after just a few drinks. Fortunately, he was there to accompany her during these few drunken episodes, so she didn't get into too many trouble.
Accompanied by the starlight, he walked heavily into the hall, looked at the sofa where they had sat together, threw his suit on the shelf next to him, took out a newly opened tea cake from the cabinet, and brewed a strong pot of new tea. At three in the morning, he sat alone on the sofa drinking tea.
In the quiet of the night, thoughts always run particularly fast.
Many sensual and decadent images floated into my mind.
For example, the shampoo is like cotton, overflowing from between your fingers, impossible to hold. With a little force, you can hear a sweet, coquettish voice.
As for whether it was Jiang An or Qingdian that was called, I can't remember anymore.
She called out too many times, and even whispered "husband" a few times in between, right behind Jiang An. He heard it and his dark eyes darkened considerably.
I used to think my name sounded awful, unlike Jiang Xu or Jiang Qi, which seemed to reflect my parents' expectations and my family's honor.
Jiang An.
Darkness, as dark as the sunless night.
Jiang An slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the carved patterns on the ceiling. As his Adam's apple bobbed, the warm tea slowly flowed down his throat.
When his name was called out, it seemed to be filled with boundless affection, no longer a scene of utter darkness, but rather a gentle exchange of glances and a glimmer of hope.
The deeper he rammed, the louder her screams became.
From then on, he no longer felt that 'Jiang An' was a curse or something to be hated.
The phone next to him lit up, and glancing at it, he saw a message from Wen Lingshuang.
Yangyang: [Jiang An, I'm at Tan Zhu's house. Don't worry about me; I've been very busy these past few days.]
Jiang An glanced at it and picked up his phone.
After that day, she returned to China overnight.
He said he was going back to China to handle wedding arrangements, but everyone knew the truth. After a moment's thought, Jiang An replied: [Thank you for your hard work, Yangyang. I'll finish my work here early and return to China in three days.]
After the message was sent, the other party replied with an "OK" emoji.
They didn't say they would pick him up from the airport.
He guessed.
She must be thinking about how to hide or how to escape.
With a slight upturn of her lips, she lay back on the sofa, gradually blending into the silent, lonely night.
It was still daytime in Beijing, a thousand miles away. Wen Lingshuang had been resting at Tan Zhu's house for a few days and had finally recovered. She hadn't replied to anyone who tried to contact her. Today, she was thinking of replying to Jiang An's message and learned that he would be returning to the country in three days. She felt a mix of anticipation and fear and sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.
Tan Zhu walked in with a cup of coffee. Seeing her like this, she said, "Your uncle just came to ask when you're coming home. Your wedding with Jiang An is getting closer and closer. Many details need to be finalized, and things need to be done."
The mention of weddings gives Wen Lingshuang an even bigger headache.
She lay back down on the bed and said, "Whatever, I'm fine with whatever I want now."
Seeing her half-dead state, Tan Zhu thought to herself that Jiang An was too powerful. He had to exhaust her for four or five days to recover after just one ordeal, and he had even worn out her spirit. Was this still the Wen Ling Shuang who used to want everything to be grand and glamorous? Even something as important as a wedding could be done so casually?
She sat down next to her and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say before that the wedding was going to be a big one?"
Wen Lingshuang looked up at her and said, "I have no strength left."
"It can't be that bad, you've been resting for several days."
Wen Lingshuang bit her red lips.
Being with Jiang An was indeed very comfortable, indescribably comfortable, but this time it made her lie in bed for so many days and she still hasn't recovered. She can't imagine how she will bear it if he wants her every day after marriage. She can't just lie in bed all day without moving.
really.
Sometimes, after inspecting the goods, they exceed expectations, which is also a headache.
"Never mind, let's rest first."
Seeing her like that, Tan Zhu laughed helplessly, "Hey, I heard that the Jiang family is making quite a fuss. Aren't there many people in their family who run international corporations and do some international scientific research overseas? They said they returned to China early for Jiang An's wedding, and several very important uncles and grandfathers came back. You're saying that they value it so much, and you just say it casually? That's too casual."
I've been having so much fun lately that I've completely forgotten about the Jiang family.
After marriage, she would inevitably have to deal with Jiang Xu, Jiang Qi, Yao Fei, and others. Even though Jiang An said he would move out of the Jiang family home after marriage, they would still meet. She slowly sat up, looked at Tan Zhu, and asked, "What do you think about me controlling Yao Fei after marriage?"
"You?" Tan Zhu looked her up and down. "With Jiang An here, it's fine. Without Jiang An, it's uncertain."
Tan Zhu took a sip of coffee and said, "Don't you know Yao Fei's abilities?"
"How could I not know?" Wen Lingshuang said, "Yao Fei is a well-known strong woman."
So that's it.
Judging from her expression, Wen Lingshuang could roughly guess what she was thinking.
From childhood to adulthood, she was a flower raised in a greenhouse. While she was being raised in the greenhouse, Yao Fei was already out there in the business world with Jiang Hanyu. How could a pampered flower compare to a green ivy that had weathered many storms over the years? Wen Lingshuang twirled her hair with her index finger, saying meaningfully, "Don't look down on me. I am the eldest daughter in the Wen family, and I am the same in the Jiang family, regardless of whether Jiang An is here or not."
Tan Zhu chuckled, "Alright, alright, Miss, then you should hurry home and stop hiding here."
Let's go.
Wen Lingshuang got up and walked out the door without looking back.
Tan Zhu's home wasn't far from the Wen family's, and she could still make it for lunch when she arrived. She parked her car in the yard, put on sunglasses, and walked in. Just as she reached the entrance to the hall, she saw a familiar figure. The marriage alliance between the Wen and Jiang families was only two months away. Besides the various details being finalized by the elders of both families, there were still some details that she and Jiang An needed to finalize. It was common for the Jiang family to send people to the Wen family to inquire, but…
She watched the man's retreating figure and called out, "Lon?"
Upon hearing the voice, Lon slowly turned around, bowed to Wen Lingshuang, and said, "Madam."
"Weren't you in America with Jiang An?"
"On the third day after my wife returned to China, I also returned to China, mainly to help her discuss the details of the wedding."
So that means...
Did Jiang An find out that she wasn't home handling the wedding details?
Wen Lingshuang's eyes darted around, looking somewhat guilty and flustered. "Oh, I see. I've been so busy these past few days that I just went to a friend's house for a while."
Lon remained unfazed, saying, "Please take good care of yourself, Tai Tai."
His airtight answer made Wen Lingshuang even more nervous.
Jiang An most likely knew that she had returned to China and went to Tan Zhu's house to hide, rather than simply coming over to play or chat.
Does he also know that the reason she is like this is because he has tormented her?
That would be so embarrassing.
Who would do something like this, and then have to scramble home and hide in someone else's house, too ashamed to show their face?
If he finds out, where will she put her face?
Wen Lingshuang pursed her lips. "Then you go ahead and do your work."
Seeing her unpleasant tone, Lon replied respectfully, "Yes, madam."
This overly polite response only made her more annoyed.
She hadn't settled the score with him for betraying her last time.
Over the next few days, both families in Wenjiang began preparing for the wedding.
Three days later, Jiang An's private plane arrived in Beijing. Wen Lingshuang personally drove to pick him up. When Jiang An's team came out, they saw the bright and flamboyant Wen Lingshuang standing at the entrance, wearing a green velvet dress, her slightly curled black hair blowing in the wind. Jiang An did not expect her to come to pick him up. He looked at her for a long time before taking a step towards her.
It's only been a week since we last saw each other.
He really missed her.
Wen Lingshuang took off her sunglasses, looked at him, and said, "Welcome back to China, Mr. Jiang."
As she spoke, she deliberately opened the car door.
"You came all this way to pick me up?"
"More than that," Wen Lingshuang said with a smile, "I even specially drove you around."
Jiang An smiled and stepped inside.
Seeing that he had gotten into the car, Wen Lingshuang followed suit and sat in the driver's seat. She turned to look at him and said, "Fasten your seatbelt."
Jiang An found it strange. She didn't even have a driver's license, and he had never seen her drive any of the hundreds of cars she owned. Why would she drive to pick him up today?
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that her driving skills weren't particularly proficient, but they weren't unfamiliar either.
Wen Lingshuang keenly noticed his glance out of the corner of her eye and said, "I took the driving test before, but I didn't take the last one because it was too much trouble. I took the last one a few days ago because I was in a good mood, so don't worry, I'm not driving without a license and I won't have an accident."
Jiang An smiled and said, "I wasn't thinking about that. I was just thinking that it's quite unusual for you to come and pick me up."
To be honest, Wen Lingshuang didn't plan to come.
According to her plan, she was going to avoid him for a while, but Lon showed up, making her feel like she had lost face terribly. Who would hide like a rat in a gutter because of something like this? She had no reason to let him laugh at her.
Seeing her biting her red lips, seemingly lost in thought, Jiang An reached out and tucked a few stray hairs behind her ear, his fingertips unconsciously brushing against her skin. "Why aren't you saying anything, hmm?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "You've penetrated my body so deeply, it would be strange if I didn't come to pick you up."
It's out loud now.
I finally said it.
She wasn't afraid of him at all.
Jiang An was stunned for a moment when he heard her provocative words. His hand, which was smoothing her hair, stopped in mid-air. He stared at her with his dark eyes and said in a low voice, "Yang Yang's body is very shallow."
"It reached the top in no time, didn't it?"
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
She bit her red lips tightly. "Sit still and don't say a word!"
