Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Chairman Jiang is so scary (crying)...
The private room was filled with a faint scent of lavender. The male models standing in a row looked at Wen Lingshuang with great interest. Before marriage, she was never stingy with money to have fun. After marriage, she was unwilling to spend money to have fun, let alone have fun. She was even unwilling to have a drink with them.
Wen Lingshuang was chatting with Huang Shaoyun when she saw Ah Shui sitting there stiffly, looking nervous and scared.
What are you afraid of?
Jiang An has already gone abroad.
With that kind of guts, she'll definitely be completely dominated by her husband when she gets married.
Wen Lingshuang took her hand and placed it on the male model's abs. Ah Shui touched the hard muscles and screamed in fright, her face instantly turning red. She stared at Wen Lingshuang with her round eyes and said pitifully, "Miss..."
"Feel it, is it nice to touch? Is it fun?"
Wen Lingshuang blinked and whispered in her ear, "I've already paid for this, if you don't play, I'll lose a fortune."
Ah Shui bit her lip: "..."
"Miss, how can you be so bold? Aren't you afraid of Chairman Jiang?" Ah Shui trembled all over just thinking about Jiang An's cold eyes.
Wen Lingshuang shrugged indifferently, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Ah Shui envied the young lady's boldness. If she were to marry Chairman Jiang, she would do whatever he asked, afraid of angering him and getting slapped so hard her face would be swollen for days. She had seen the strength of Chairman Jiang's hands; he could break such a thick wooden stick in the yard with a word. With such strength, he could definitely choke someone unconscious in just a few seconds.
Ah Shui tightly tucked her hands in and curled up next to Wen Ling Shuang. "Miss, I'll just keep you company while you drink tea. Don't ask me to do anything else."
"You," Wen Lingshuang poked her forehead hard with her hand, "you've been with me for so many years, and you're still so timid, you can't even sleep with a man."
Ah Shui touched her forehead, feeling wronged. "Miss... please don't say such immoral things in front of Chairman Jiang."
Wen Lingshuang was too lazy to pay attention to Ah Shui anymore, and turned her head to continue talking to Huang Shaoyun about Xu Wen.
Huang Shaoyun said that Xu Wen currently lives in Italy. Half a month ago, her friend met her in Rome. She was already very pregnant and was estimated to be about to give birth. Since the two were not very familiar with each other, they just hung out in the same circle and chatted for a bit.
Xu Wen remained tight-lipped about the child's father, only saying that he was too busy to accompany her to prenatal checkups.
Wen Lingshuang leaned back on the sofa, holding a teacup in her hand, her index finger gently tapping the surface of the cup.
Looking at her expression, Huang Shaoyun poured tea and said, "You know, it's not surprising that Xu Wenqi went all the way to Italy to give birth. Doesn't she realize that if the man really treats her like a caged bird, she'll never be able to show her face in public again?"
Wen Lingshuang raised an eyebrow at her, "Sister Yun, so what do you mean?"
“Me?” Huang Shaoyun took a sip of tea and said with a smile, “If it were me, I would definitely give birth in Beijing. I would give birth right under his nose and use the child to threaten him. But Xu Wen really has no choice. She is an illegitimate child and can’t make many decisions.”
Listening to Huang Shaoyun's words, Wen Lingshuang could sense her heartache; it wasn't hard to understand. Although Xu Wen was an illegitimate child, she was still a member of their circle. Most importantly, she was a decent person, unlike those gossipy and scheming rich young ladies.
Wen Lingshuang was already in a bad mood because of the phone call Jiang Xu made yesterday.
She always had this rule: whoever made her unhappy, she would make them unhappy in return.
So it was only natural to think of Xu Wen.
She wanted to use Xu Wen to keep Jiang Xu in check.
But this approach raises another question: how deep are Jiang Xu's feelings for Xu Wen? Is he only supporting her because she has a child, or is it that he had a child because he is supporting her? The former is heartless, the latter is affectionate.
Based on her understanding of Jiang Xu, even if there were feelings involved, they wouldn't be much.
Xu Wen's life is probably not going to be easy.
Thinking of this, Wen Lingshuang drank the tea in her cup in one gulp and said, "Sister Yun, could you please find out Xu Wen's address for me? I want to meet her."
Huang Shaoyun turned to look at her, "Don't go looking for trouble. Xu Wen is barely able to take care of herself. You're doing just fine."
“We’re all good sisters,” Wen Lingshuang said with a smile. “If you ever fall on hard times, I’ll have to find someone to bail you out.”
That's true.
Wen Lingshuang is just like that; she's loyal and never pretends with her friends.
This explains why she is arrogant and rude, often throws tantrums, yet still has a large number of true friends.
Huang Shaoyun was completely captivated by her beautiful little mouth and said with a smile, "Your husband must love kissing you."
Wen Lingshuang blushed and nudged her arm. "It's settled then. Let me know if there's any news."
When leaving the club, Huang Shaoyun gave Wen Lingshuang a few tea cakes, saying they were from her own tea garden. She said the taste was definitely not as good as Jiang An's tea garden, but it was still quite good. She told Wen Lingshuang to take them back and try them. Ashui obediently accepted them, and the two chatted for a few minutes at the entrance of the club before parting ways.
Ah Shui, carrying a heavy tea cake, followed behind Wen Lingshuang and said, "Miss, you came here just to inquire about Xu Wen?"
“Yes.” Wen Lingshuang nodded. “I originally wanted to take advantage of her, but now that I hear what Sister Yun said, I feel sorry for her.”
"Isn't it said that every pitiful person has something hateful about them?"
“But Xu Wen isn’t a bad person. If I want to deal with Jiang Xu, I can find other ways, using her words…” She sighed, “but my conscience won’t allow it.”
Ah Shui smiled and said, "Miss, you are so kind."
Wen Lingshuang turned her head to look at her silly expression, pinched her cheek, and said, "When am I ever not good?"
Ah Shui rubbed her cheek where she had been pinched. "It's always been fine! But Miss, you're going to deal with Jiang Xu..." She tried to dissuade her gently, "He's the eldest young master of the Jiang family."
Wen Lingshuang, carrying her bag, said, "What's wrong with the eldest young master of the Jiang family? If he makes me unhappy, he won't have an easy time."
Ah Shui wanted to say something after hearing this, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
Miss has always had this temper since she was a child. It's just that the people she offended in the past were not as wealthy and powerful as the Jiang family. Actually, it's not a big deal to offend Jiang Xu. At least... Chairman Jiang is backing her up... Thinking about it this way, Ah Shui no longer finds Jiang An scary. She hopes he is as fierce as possible, preferably so that Jiang Xu will tremble at the sight of him. That way, Miss will have someone backing her up no matter what she does.
After leaving the club, the two went to the hospital. Wen Lingshuang asked Ashui to go in and inquire. A dozen minutes later, Ashui came out of the hospital and told her that Jiang Qi was recuperating in the private orthopedics department upstairs. Information was very restricted, and she could only find out a little bit that Yao Fei was also upstairs. The hospital had been very quiet these past two days, as they were afraid of doing something wrong and upsetting Yao Fei.
Wen Lingshuang tapped the steering wheel with her index finger and laughed, "Alright! Let's go home and rest!"
Ah Shui opened the car door and got in, saying, "Miss, aren't you going to get in and take a look?"
Wen Lingshuang drove without answering.
Ah Shui didn't even consider that she was busy dealing with Jiang Xu, so why would she come to see Jiang Qi? Just thinking about what he said to her on the golf course that day made her wish she could die sooner.
After returning home, Wen Lingshuang felt tired and went upstairs to rest for a while. In the evening, she took Ah Shui to a spa.
Around 8 p.m., the phone next to me lit up, and a message popped up.
Jiang An: [Are you home? Yangyang.]
After seeing the message, Wen Lingshuang smiled and replied: [Yes.]
Jiang An: [I've arrived, I'm at the villa now.]
Jiang An owns many properties abroad, in almost every city. Wen Lingshuang was curious about the house he was currently living in, so she pressed the video call button.
After the video call connected, what appeared on the screen was not Jiang An's face, but rather the image of him walking towards the bedroom with his phone in hand, accompanied by the rustling sounds of clothes and footsteps.
Through the lens, she saw an open space and an art-filled corridor.
Once in the room, Jiang An fixed his phone to the desk, sat down, looked at Wen Lingshuang in the camera lens, and smiled, saying, "What did you do at home today?"
Wen Lingshuang sat on the bed, hugging her knees. "I went to Sister Yun's club to have some fun."
She was being somewhat tentative and joking, afraid that Jiang An would find out she went to the club when he returned. She was giving him a heads-up in advance so that things wouldn't get out of control.
She understood Jiang An; as long as things weren't done too far and his bottom line wasn't crossed, he would tolerate it.
In the shot, Jiang An is wearing a black suit and a dark brown tie. Unlike Pei Du's loose tie, his tie is always tied perfectly. He exudes an aura of asceticism and noble elegance. He taps his index finger twice on the table without answering.
He knew that Wen Lingshuang had several friends who ran specialty clubs.
Wen Lingshuang used to go there often before she met him.
He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and then slowly asked, "And then?"
These three simple words conveyed a sense of impending storm through the screen.
Wen Lingshuang thought to herself, "Can you crawl over from the screen and hit me?"
So he replied nonchalantly, "Let's just have some tea and chat."
Jiang An didn't believe it. He knew his wife well, but he didn't intend to argue with her. Since he wasn't home, she had to find some fun. In the video, Wen Lingshuang was wearing home clothes, obedient and well-behaved. She seemed to miss him a lot, staring at the camera for a long time without saying a word.
Jiang An smiled and said, "There's a private auction in the area in a couple of days. I'll go see if there's anything you like and bring it back for you."
Wen Lingshuang grunted in response, her interest piqued.
Jiang An added, "Or I could have someone take you to a fashion show? The New Year is almost here, and you haven't decided on your New Year's outfit yet."
Wen Lingshuang's tone remained calm, "No need, let's talk about it when you get back."
"Yangyang," he called her by her nickname.
"Do you remember the benefits you asked me for?" He pondered for a long time before bringing it up.
In fact, this was the first time he had done something like this. He even planned before going abroad that he would not bring it up unless Wen Lingshuang mentioned it.
Doing this kind of thing through a screen is too shameful.
But after only one day apart, Wen Lingshuang's mood became so negative.
He didn't want to see her so listless; he wanted her to always bloom towards the sun, displaying the most vibrant petals and the most beautiful posture.
As expected, after saying that, Wen Lingshuang's eyes flickered, and she leaned closer to the camera, saying, "I remember."
His eyes were bright and sparkling, and he looked expectant.
Jiang An placed his phone further away, trying to make himself as visible as possible in the video.
He raised his hand, its knuckles clearly defined, several veins bulging on the back of his hand. Then he tugged at his tie, loosening it, but instead of taking it off, he started unbuttoning it, one button, two buttons…
After unbuttoning four buttons, the faint outline of his pectoral muscles was revealed in the video.
Wen Lingshuang couldn't help but stare at his pectoral muscles, biting her red lips as she said, "I feel like you've gotten even bigger."
Jiang An raised an eyebrow. "It's not that I think so."
He was using a double entendre.
Wen Lingshuang blushed slightly, "When did you secretly start working out your muscles behind my back?"
Jiang An: "..."
He pondered for a moment, "Maybe it's because you always say you really like this kind of thin skin whenever you hug me."
Although he didn't know what was so great about muscles, he figured everyone could develop them with enough training.
But since she said so, he will definitely practice hard.
"Then keep going," Wen Lingshuang said, her eyes fixed on his chest muscles. "Don't stop."
"..." This statement is too strange.
How could such ambiguous and uncontrollable words come from such a beautiful mouth?
But Jiang An didn't continue. He stopped there, pointed to his left chest, which was just inches from his heart, and then circled his index finger around that spot.
Wen Lingshuang watched his fingers circling and roughly understood what he meant.
She had scratched his skin several times, and each scratch was broken and bleeding.
Actually, it wasn't just that area; the back was the hardest hit zone.
Wen Lingshuang could remember why he had been arrested.
Jiang An could probably guess what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes through the video.
She slowly began to speak, “From now on, you should call me ‘husband’ in stages. In certain stages, don’t call me that, especially not like a cat, making such a soft, coquettish sound.”
"That stage, which stage?" Wen Lingshuang asked, feigning ignorance.
Jiang An knew she would respond like that.
I couldn't help but chuckle softly.
What other stage could that be?
He wanted to push her to the deepest level, so deep that she could only have him.
"Tell me quickly," Wen Lingshuang began to whine. "If you don't tell me, I'll get angry."
Jiang An felt that Wen Lingshuang might not realize how much her coquettish expressions made people impulsively excited.
He slightly swallowed his Adam's apple and pointed the camera at himself. "So, do you want me to talk, or... watch me?"
That's too much.
They actually made her make such a difficult choice!
Wen Lingshuang bit her red lips. "Look at you."
Jiang An chuckled softly twice and then zoomed in on the camera.
As the camera zoomed in, Wen Lingshuang's tightly closed red lips slowly opened wide in surprise.
Why……
Why does it feel even more spectacular than what I've seen before?
Was it because you practiced it after getting married?
She was so thirsty from reading it.
Jiang An also felt that he had completely lost control. He didn't understand why he could break down the fortress he had built so easily every time he met Wen Ling Shuang.
A beautiful woman is a source of trouble?
Perhaps that's the case...
His eyes went out of focus, and the video was shrouded in a blurry white mist at the last moment, obscuring all vision. Only his deep breathing could be heard through the receiver.
Even though they were so far apart, she could feel all his emotions.
Wen Lingshuang was unbearably hot and dry when she heard Jiang An's hoarse voice coming from the receiver, "This is the first time I've dirtied the phone, not you."
Wen Lingshuang: "..."
She abruptly ended the video call and then sent him a voice message, "I'm going to rest! You should go wash up and go to bed!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiang An's reply, she turned around and ran towards the bathroom.
Even though it's very cold outside, and there's a temperature control system indoors, it's not like you should be soaking in cold water.
But Wen Lingshuang felt like she had a burning sensation all over her body, and she couldn't sleep tonight without soaking in cold water.
After his entire body sank into the water, he barely managed to suppress the anger within him.
But……
She surfaced and lay on the edge of the bathtub, her mind filled with images of Jiang An being swallowed up.
Thanks to those mirrors, the process of being swallowed up was clearly visible.
She missed him so much.
I want it everywhere, inside and out.
*
The days when Jiang An was not around were actually the same as before their marriage. It's just that Wen Lingshuang was used to Jiang An's company and found it hard to accept the experience of enjoying herself without him by her side. For several days in a row, she either rested at home or went to her friends' clubs.
As the year draws to a close, the atmosphere at the Wen family home becomes lively. Tan Zhu's two older sisters have been transferred back from overseas companies, and Tan Zhu invites Wen Lingshuang to her home for dinner.
When Tan Yu called Wen Lingshuang to invite her to dinner, she was lying on the bed, looking listless. "I'm not going, I'm too tired."
"Oh dear, what's wrong with you?" Tan Yu was furious when she heard her words. "You're tired even when I call you for dinner? Miss, what have you been busy with lately?"
"I haven't been busy with anything." I've just been eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping.
"I heard Jiang An went on a business trip. You didn't go with him?"
“I went with him on his last business trip, it was so boring,” Wen Lingshuang said, kicking her legs in the air. “I don’t want to go this time.”
"Then come back by yourself. It's snowing outside, so be careful on your way back."
He hung up the phone without waiting for Wen Lingshuang's response.
Wen Lingshuang lay on the bed, looking weakly at Ah Shui standing beside her.
Ah Shui also felt that the young lady's behavior was outrageous; she hadn't shown any energy for several days.
She stepped forward and took Wen Lingshuang's delicate arm. "Miss, get up."
He tugged a few times but couldn't budge it. Suddenly remembering something, he said, "Oh, I forgot to mention, Chairman Jiang's flowers arrived today. They're different from yesterday's; they're pink tulips."
Yesterday I sent lilies, and the day before I sent white roses...
Ah Shui thought Chairman Jiang was quite romantic. They were already married, and the villa was full of flowers, yet he still sent so many flowers, a different kind every day.
When Wen Lingshuang heard that the flowers had been delivered, she lazily got out of bed and said, "That old fogey, all he knows is to send flowers every day, he doesn't know how to send anything else."
"Miss, is this a compliment or an insult?" Ah Shui looked at her beautiful profile. "I get the feeling you're very happy."
"Ah Shui, remember this: when you look for a boyfriend in the future, never choose one who only knows how to sweet-talk. He's useless."
So, Miss was still happy that Chairman Jiang sent her flowers.
All the flowers that were delivered were displayed in the flower room. As soon as you opened the door, you would see bouquets of flowers neatly arranged in vases on the shelves.
Wen Lingshuang picked up the watering can next to her and watered the flowers, when Jiang An sent her a message.
Every day I would ask her, "Did you receive the flowers? Do you like them?"
Wen Lingshuang always replies that she doesn't like it.
What's the point of sending flowers when he's not around?
But every time he replied like this, Jiang An would patiently say, "It's okay, we'll change it tomorrow."
The weather was nice today, no rain or snow. Wen Lingshuang changed into a coat, put on a hat and scarf, and prepared to go to Tan Zhu's house for dinner. When she was leaving, she received a call from Huang Shaoyun, who told her the address where Xu Wen was currently living. Wen Lingshuang glanced at it and saw that it was not in the city.
Huang Shaoyun on the other end of the phone said, "If you see her, please tell her for me that you can't just look at the present, you have to think about the future. Men can't be relied on."
Wen Lingshuang responded and hung up the phone.
Although the weather is nice today, the wind is unusually strong.
On her way to Tan Zhu's house, Wen Lingshuang kept thinking about what Huang Shaoyun had said. She didn't know whether she should go to see Xu Wen. Her belly was so big, and she was about to give birth. What if she went to upset her and something happened? What would happen to Jiang Xu? She didn't want to care, but the child was innocent.
be terribly upset.
Jiang An sent another message: [Yangyang, I just finished a meeting, can we video chat?]
These past few days, Wen Lingshuang's mood has been in a limbo because of him. He's certainly given her plenty of visual pleasure, but what about her body? She feels incredibly empty.
What else could he do besides get her soaking wet?
She angrily replied: [No video call!]
Jiang An sensed her anger through the message and replied: [What's wrong?]
The phone screen kept showing "The other party is typing..."
A minute later, Jiang An received a message from Wen Lingshuang, a simple message: [You're too far away to help.]
When Jiang An saw this reply, his dark eyes instantly turned gloomy.
If she were by his side, he would make sure she couldn't say such things. If she dared to, he would go deeper and make her unable to utter a sound.
What a pity.
He wasn't by her side.
That statement is not wrong...
He replied helplessly: [Yangyang, I miss you, what about you?]
Wen Lingshuang's anger flared up uncontrollably after his few words, so she simply turned off her phone and refused to read his messages.
Jiang An hadn't received any messages from her for a long time and was worried that something had happened to her, so he called back to the villa. That's when he learned from Ah Shui that Wen Lingshuang was going to Tan Zhu's house for dinner.
He breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "How has she been at home these past few days?"
Even over the phone, Ah Shui was still afraid of Jiang An.
She remembered that the young lady had said she couldn't tell Chairman Jiang about the male model, so she cautiously replied, "It's very good, the young lady stays at home every day, eating, sleeping, and chatting with me..."
Ah Shui is the worst at lying; whenever she tries to lie, she stutters.
Jiang An guessed that Ah Shui said Wen Ling Shuang stayed at home every day, which meant that she spent half of her time outside, but what she did during that time was unknown.
This is a very bad omen.
The wicked thought of keeping this beautiful flower in a greenhouse forever resurfaced in his mind.
But it was only for a moment.
If such a beautiful and fertile flower is kept in one place forever, it will lose its beauty after absorbing all the nutrients.
He asked again, "Are you home every day?"
Ah Shui's alarm bells rang loudly, "Yes... I'm home every day. It was just the first day I went to the club. The girls didn't play with the male models; it was all me who played with them!"
After blurting everything out, Ah Shui immediately realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to try and find a way to correct herself, she heard Jiang An say, "Are the male models good-looking?"
Ah Shui bit her red lips, on the verge of tears.
Chairman Jiang is terrifying!
How could Miss agree to marry such a terrifying person and sleep in the same bed with him?!
Ah Shui was almost crying, sobbing, "It's beautiful."
Jiang An chuckled softly.
"Oh……"
Then the phone slammed down.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Ah Shui really cried.
Tears streamed down her face as she imagined how miserable her daughter would be after Chairman Jiang returned home.
She opened the chat page and sent a message to the young lady.
Only a few large characters: [Miss (crying), I think I've done something wrong again. Chairman Jiang is so scary (crying loudly).]
