Chapter 74 I'll kill you
The atmosphere at Tan Zhu's house was lively. Wen Lingshuang was playing billiards with her sisters, while her brothers were playing cards. Tan Zhu, who had just hung up the phone, walked over to Wen Lingshuang. Actually, Wen Lingshuang's billiards skills were not good. She lacked accuracy and had a limited cueing technique. She could only use the push shot. Xu Mo, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh and said, "When our Yangyang plays the number one ball, she never thinks about where the number two ball is."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room erupted in laughter.
Wen Lingshuang knew she wasn't good at golf, her face flushed, and she angrily threw the club into Tan Zhu's hand, saying, "I'm not playing anymore, you guys play."
Xu Cheng walked over and put his arm around her shoulder. "It's okay. When I first started playing, I would 'commit suicide' in every game."
But... but...
Wen Lingshuang was embarrassed to say that this was not her first time playing ball, nor was it her first time playing. She had been playing for a long time... but her skills were still terrible.
Just then, a few snowflakes began to fall outside the door. Ah Shui walked over through the crowd, her face pale, and approached Wen Ling Shuang, wanting to speak, but was pulled over by Tan Zhu, who insisted that she join in playing ball.
Before Ah Shui could speak, she heard a voice from afar, "Oh, Jiang An is here. Is your business trip over?"
This sentence drew everyone's attention.
Wen Lingshuang and Ashui looked in the direction of the sound and saw Jiang An walk in from the door. He was wearing a black suit and a knee-length coat, exuding a noble and cold temperament. There were a few scattered snowflakes on his neat black short hair.
The moment he appeared, the atmosphere changed completely. It was as if he wasn't having fun at home, but living a life of extravagance in a multi-billion dollar estate. There was a sharp glint in his eyes, but it softened when he saw Wen Lingshuang's family. He nodded and greeted the elders, then walked past them to the side hall where Wen Lingshuang was playing ball.
The once bustling venue suddenly became eerily quiet.
It was the first time Xu Mo and Xu Cheng had met Jiang An. It was really hard to describe his appearance and aura. He was even more handsome than Hollywood stars with distinct features. They even stopped playing basketball and stared at him.
Wen Lingshuang and Ashui, on the other hand, looked ashen-faced.
According to Wen Lingshuang's calculations, it was highly unlikely that Jiang An would abandon his self-discipline and go to Tan Zhu's house specifically to cause her trouble. But not only did he come, he came in such an aggressive manner...
Turning her head to look at Ah Shui standing next to her, she was even more frightened and trembled like a leaf.
So useless...
She was talking about herself.
Tan Zhu also sensed the undercurrent between them. Her eyes darted around, and she stepped forward, saying, "Brother-in-law, you've come at the right time. We're playing billiards. My sister is terrible at it. Look, she's 'committed suicide' several times."
Jiang An looked in the direction Tan Zhu was looking and saw several cue balls lying quietly in the pocket.
This wasn't the first time Tan Zhu had exposed Wen Lingshuang's secrets, but this time, feeling guilty and ashamed, her face turned exceptionally red.
She stepped forward and nudged her shoulder. "What are you talking about? Who 'committed suicide'? I'm a great player."
"Then you make one and show it to your brother-in-law."
Tan Zhu handed the cue stick in her hand to Wen Lingshuang.
Wen Lingshuang was so angry that her eyes rolled back when she saw the golf club handed to her. She was bad at golf, but she didn't want to be bad at golf in front of Jiang An...
Just as she was hesitating whether to accept or not, Jiang An took off his coat, hung it on the coat rack next to him, took the cue from Tan Zhu's hand, and said, "I see she's tired, I'll play a game."
Jiang An took the cue stick with his well-defined knuckles, then unbuttoned his suit jacket to reveal a black shirt underneath. His gaze was fixed on the target ball, which was on the other side of the table, awkwardly separated from the cue ball by an opponent's ball. This was a situation that required extremely high skill to resolve.
Wen Lingshuang and Tan Zhu fought several times but couldn't hit each other.
Wen Lingshuang's gaze followed his figure closely. She didn't know he could play ball. In fact, in her memory, Jiang An had no extra entertainment outside of work. He was not good at drinking, and he had quit smoking, only occasionally smoking a few cigarettes. It was impossible for him to have gatherings with friends or indulge in debauchery...
Now, his right hand firmly grips the dark-colored cue stick, while his left hand forms a bridge on the green velvet. With a slight exertion, the pale blue veins on the back of his hand are clearly visible.
He didn't immediately strike the ball, maintaining his bent-over posture like a black panther locking onto its prey in the jungle—elegant, patient, and exuding a dangerous, oppressive aura.
The entire space was so quiet that only the faint classical music from the old record player could be heard, and... Wen Lingshuang's unconsciously soft breathing could be heard.
She was positioned directly opposite him. She could clearly see the slight furrow in his brow as he focused, the faint shadow cast by his thick eyelashes beneath his eyes, and his tightly pursed, sharply defined lips. The fabric of his shirt clung tightly to his lean waist, outlining the smooth lines that exuded masculine energy.
It felt as if invisible threads were taut in the air.
However, in this atmosphere, he slowly raised his head and looked at Wen Lingshuang.
Their eyes met, and Wen Lingshuang instinctively tried to look away, but it was too late. Her shyness, guilt, fear, and admiration were all reflected in Jiang An's eyes without reservation.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly.
They laughed at her for being so impatient.
In front of so many people, she so brazenly showed such a passionate expression to her husband.
Wen Lingshuang naturally noticed the meaning behind his smile and stomped her foot in anger.
Jiang An, however, did not look away.
That kind of gaze itself represents aggression and attack.
He just stared straight at her.
Then, it started to move.
The muscles in his right arm were taut, propelling the club like a fully drawn bow. The movement was unhurried and exuded absolute control.
A crisp, clear impact suddenly rang out, breaking the silence.
Hole-in-one.
When Wen Lingshuang heard the 'bang', it was as if something had silently entered her heart. Her heart pounded wildly. Looking down, she saw the cue ball draw a delicate arc, bypass the obstacle, and crash into the target ball with precision and ferocity before finally landing gently and silently where she was standing.
Everything seemed deliberate.
Everything seemed to be part of his scheme.
All for that final touch, so that he could land perfectly beside her.
Good luck.
Wen Lingshuang couldn't help but think that Jiang An's skill in flirting was unparalleled.
Before she could react, Jiang An straightened up, put the cue stick aside, and walked straight toward her.
A tall figure blocked out the overhead light, and a faint scent of leather wafted into the air as he asked, "Did I play well?"
His deep voice, mixed with the sound of wind and snow outside the window, was so beautiful it sent shivers down my spine.
Wen Lingshuang could feel the envious gazes from the people next to her. Turning her head, she saw Xu Mo and Xu Cheng immersed in Jiang An's superb ball skills, while Tan Zhu looked completely dazed. She bit her red lips and nodded gently.
But after nodding, I felt that this feeling was not good, that something was wrong.
How could she fall for a ball or a word? She should know that Jiang An already knew about her hiring male models. With his 'old-fashioned' thinking, he would most likely only think of such things in a bad way. He was now tempting her to go home and to obediently listen to him.
Wen Lingshuang couldn't help but think to herself that the old man's methods were a cut above the rest.
She cannot back down.
She must fight for every inch of land.
This is the only way to ensure a safe and worry-free journey home.
Otherwise, what awaits her is more than ten days of unbearable hunger and thirst, as well as a furious 'revenge'.
So after nodding, Wen Lingshuang quickly shook her head and said against her will, "No."
"Isn't this good enough?"
Jiang An didn't speak, but Tan Zhu, who was standing behind him, spoke up, her face full of surprise, "Brother-in-law's skills are so good that even professional players might not be able to beat him, and you actually say he's bad?!"
Tan Zhu stood up for her, "Sister, did brother-in-law offend you?"
On the contrary.
She offended him.
Wen Lingshuang really wished she could cover Tan Zhu's mouth; every word she said made Jiang An angrier.
That's just how Wen Lingshuang is. When she offends someone, even though she's feeling really guilty, she still puts on a show of bravado, as if she's afraid others will think she's scared.
She crossed the river and went to the tea room next door to pour tea.
Seeing this, Jiang An followed closely behind.
With many people around, Jiang An couldn't question them directly, so he could only lower his voice and ask, "Was Tan Zhu right or wrong? Did I offend you?"
Wen Lingshuang poured tea, suppressing the surging emotions within her, and turned to look at him, "What do you think?"
"Yangyang, when you're trying to play riddles with me, you'd better control your expression." Jiang An leaned against the cabinet, reached out and pinched her cheek, "You look guilty and uncomfortable."
As his fingers pinched her rosy cheeks, they inadvertently caressed her delicate skin, leaving a faint tremor on its surface.
It had been a long time since he had pinched me like that.
That spot, he'd touched it a long time ago...
I really want to.
I miss it so much.
Wen Lingshuang shook her head, suppressing the inappropriate emotions and turmoil rising within her. How could she think such depraved things in front of so many people...
Seeing that she remained silent, Jiang An said again, "If I have offended you, why don't you just tell me?"
He probed, "Was it because I dirtied the lens in the video that day? Or was it because you said you wanted to help me with your hands, and also wanted me to use my hands..."
"Could you please stop talking?" Wen Lingshuang quickly interrupted him, her cheeks flushed not only from guilt but also from a complex mix of shyness, longing, and desire, making her face turn bright red, even her delicate, fair neck turned red.
Jiang An knew that she wasn't silent because of such a trivial matter.
I just wanted to tease her.
It's been a long time since I've seen her like this.
He leaned closer, "Then you have to give me an explanation."
This is a veiled reference.
Wen Lingshuang marveled at his ability to use double entendres, and was also shocked by how easily he could break through her defenses, which had no offensive capabilities...
Things have come to this.
Wen Lingshuang could no longer hide; there were so many people around, he couldn't possibly lose his temper with her right there.
She took a deep breath and slowly looked into his eyes, and was surprised to find that his dark and deep eyes were filled with her own delicate and beautiful image.
“You haven’t offended me.” She organized her thoughts, puffing out her chest proudly. “And I haven’t offended you either.”
Jiang An raised an eyebrow but remained silent.
photo……
The photo resurfaced in Jiang An's mind; the vibrant flower center was displayed before him, half-hidden yet completely revealed.
He unconsciously swallowed hard, his voice low and deep, "I didn't mean to hold you accountable for this."
"Don't give me that." She glared at him. "I know you too well. If you really didn't intend to hold me accountable, would you have come here? Would you have inexplicably started playing pool and said these things to me?"
"Yangyang, I want to be alone with you."
"I miss you."
He spewed out words, each one more ferocious than the last, until her legs went weak.
Wen Lingshuang's heart pounded like a drum; she felt she had never met anyone more seductive than Jiang An.
Feeling inexplicably hot all over, yet not wanting to appear too unreserved, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't believe you. You just want to trick me into going back so you can question me when we're alone. I can guess what you'll say and do."
Jiang An found it amusing and asked, "You even guessed what I would say and do. So tell me, what will I say and do?"
She had tied him up twice before.
So this time, he can justifiably tie her up and make her do all sorts of shameful and difficult things.
She even perfectly replicated the pose from that day's photo.
Dream on.
She hummed twice, pretending not to hear, and said, "Give up, I won't go back with you."
After saying that, he took the steaming teacup and sat down on the sofa next to him.
The atmosphere at the Xu family home was wonderful that evening. The elders gathered together to chat about the younger generation and their daily lives, while the younger generation played cards, ball games, and other games. Jiang An didn't really like this kind of lively scene where the elders gathered together at home. Perhaps it was because when he was young, such a scene would either lead to him being criticized or used as an excuse.
During this time, Lon sent information about the tea products and varieties from the March Tea Garden.
The screen displays detailed introductions of three major tea gardens: [Baihua Tea Garden], [Jingxu Tea Garden], and [Qinyi Tea Garden].
Scrolling down the introduction page reveals the types and quantities of tea harvested that year, the new tea varieties developed by the R&D team, and the inventory of the produced tea leaves.
He watched intently, which drew the attention of Wen Lingshuang, who was standing nearby.
She also leaned over to take a look.
I saw information about the tea plantation.
She knew before she got married that Jiang An would selectively stay at the Jiangnan Tea Garden every year from March to May. This was no secret; it was common knowledge within the industry.
And coincidentally, the addresses of these tea gardens are not far from the tea mountains that her grandfather used to buy.
It seems to be nearby?
Wen Lingshuang thought about it carefully, but couldn't think of anything. She was too young at the time, and when she was seven, her grandfather sold the tea plantation and she hadn't been there since.
"Are you going to the tea plantation again this year?" Wen Lingshuang asked him.
Jiang An turned his head and chuckled, "I was planning to take you there."
Wen Lingshuang was somewhat surprised, "Then what about your company's affairs?"
"I've been working remotely from the tea plantation for many years."
Wen Lingshuang was taken aback, then pleasantly surprised, "So that means you can spend a long time with me without having to go on business trips?"
"almost."
"Let me see it." Wen Lingshuang held out her hand.
Jiang An handed her the phone in his hand.
Wen Lingshuang carefully reviewed the addresses and information of the tea gardens and asked, "Can I choose which tea garden I want to go to?"
She treated this like a vacation.
Jiang An thought she was adorable and reached out to pat her head. "Come home with me, it's up to you."
Wen Lingshuang subconsciously ignored his previous sentence, browsed through the tea garden information, and after browsing it several times, handed him her phone. "Let's go to this one, Qinyi Tea Garden. The location is perfect, with strong sunlight and tall buildings. I can run around the tea mountain like I did when I was a kid."
Jiang An raised an eyebrow slightly.
Qin Yi Tea Garden.
This is also his favorite tea garden, without a doubt. It is the place where he lived as a child and is the most unforgettable place for him.
"Okay." He nodded and put his phone back in his pocket. "March 1st."
After saying that, he leaned close to her ear and said, "It's ten o'clock."
The hot breath brushed against my earlobe, sending a slight tingling sensation through me.
Afraid of being discovered for their intimacy, she pressed her hand against his chest, saying, "Speak properly, why are you so close?"
“I’ve been putting up with this for so many days, and instead of waiting for me at home, you came to Tan Zhu’s house, and now you’re throwing a tantrum and refusing to come back with me.”
"Yangyang..." He held her hand, "Are you really willing to let me endure this? Aren't you afraid I'll get sick from holding it in?"
There are many people in my family.
There were older siblings with their partners, and middle-aged relatives showing off their love. Their whispers seemed natural and warm, but the words they spoke were like a flood that overwhelmed her senses, making her legs hot and her whole body unbearable.
Tan Zhu naturally noticed this scene as well, and said with a smile, "Wow, my sister and brother-in-law are so loving."
One sentence once again drew everyone's attention.
Wen Lingshuang gave her a playful glare, grabbed Jiang An's hand and stood up, saying, "If you're so envious, why don't you go find one too?"
Jiang An was gently pulled by her small hand, and with the help of the force, he stood up.
Seeing her calmly walk to the coat rack, take his coat, and then pick up his bag, he knew she was willing to go home with him, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.
"Yangyang, are you leaving?"
"Yangyang, why don't you play with Jiang An a little longer? Sleep here tonight. It's snowing outside, and the road back is difficult to travel."
"It's alright, it's alright." Wen Lingshuang held Jiang An's hand. "It's too late, and Jiang An is tired after just returning from his business trip, so we'll be leaving now."
Then he turned to look at Ah Shui, who was standing in the corner, and said, "Ah Shui, you can stay here and come back whenever you want."
Ah Shui nodded obediently and watched them leave.
The door opened, and wind and snow poured in.
Jiang An took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, then carried her into the car.
After getting in the car, he gently held the back of her neck and kissed her red lips.
He flirtatiously entered her fragrant mouth, stealing countless sweet scents. As their lips and tongues exchanged saliva, the temperature rose infinitely. She hadn't expected him to be so impatient. She pressed her hands against his chest, but the next second, he unbuckled his seatbelt and pressed her directly onto the car seat. The immense pressure made her unable to move. After groaning twice, she called out while he was catching his breath, "Husband."
"Go home."
In short, it made my bones melt.
Jiang An's eyes were bloodshot, and his Adam's apple bobbed violently, as if he was trying to suppress the urge to skin her alive and devour her whole.
He reached out and touched her cheek. "Will you be good when we get home?"
"Good girl..." She stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips, licking the saliva left from his kiss.
Jiang An: "..."
"Did you know I'd still ask about the male models when we got home, so you answered so decisively?"
It's been discovered.
Wen Lingshuang obediently lay down on the seat, reaching out to hug his neck, "No."
"Yangyang, I will kill you."
Jiang An restrained himself for a long time, his voice hoarse and his breathing heavy, "I will go in, very deep, very deep."
