Chapter 339: Possessiveness
Xiao Beisheng carried her to the curb, out of the sight of the passers-by on the riverside, and finally let her go.
Su Man angrily adjusted her collar. Xiao Beisheng raised his hand and glanced at his watch. "You're late."
"It's just to give your peach blossom some time to chat up, otherwise I would have arrived earlier." Su Man was not convinced.
Xiao Beisheng narrowed his eyes and stared at her sharply.
Su Man's momentum weakened.
"Where are you going?" She was both annoyed and incompetent.
"Man Garden."
"No!" Su Man refused.
Xiao Beisheng frowned.
Su Man said evasively, "Manyuan... is too close to our home, and if I drive you there, it will attract too much attention."
"Heh." Xiao Beisheng sneered, his laughter full of sarcasm. "Then tell me, where should I go? Back to Dilan Garden?"
Dilan Garden is now his and Luo Yan's residence. Su Man sent him back to Dilan Garden. Luo Yan would probably think that Su Man was trying to provoke her.
It's like seeking death.
Su Man didn't know either.
Xiao Beisheng didn't have the patience to stand on the roadside with her, so he turned around and got into the car. He fastened his seat belt like a master, then leaned back in the chair and sat quietly.
Su Man warned herself that she must be patient, as killing was against the law.
Su Man got into the car with a dark face, slammed the door shut and fastened her seat belt with great force. She vented all her dissatisfaction in this series of actions, which made a lot of noise.
Xiao Beisheng, sitting in the passenger seat next to him, was relaxed and calm: "We can't go to Man Garden, nor can we go to Dilan Garden, so let's go back to the hotel we stayed at last time."
"What hotel? Which time?"
"Which time?" Xiao Beisheng glanced at her. Seeing that she seemed to have truly forgotten, he immediately became furious and wanted to annoy her. "If you can't remember, I'll help you recall it. It was raining heavily that night, and we were in the hotel..."
"Okay, I get it, stop talking!" Su Man's face flushed red, and she shouted to stop him from talking nonsense.
That night was the night Su Man went to Xiao Beisheng to plead for Shen Qing.
It was a rainy night, and it was raining heavily.
She remembered it clearly.
She started the car, but hesitated.
What does it mean to send Xiao Beisheng back to that hotel?
Xiao Beisheng next to her glanced at her and said, "What are you thinking about? Why don't you drive?"
"Or, you can call Gao Xun over, or your driver, and I can wait here with you."
Xiao Beisheng sneered: "You don't like being in a hotel, you prefer being in the car, it's more atmospheric?"
Su Man glared at him: "Be serious."
He looked at her seriously: "I'm not discussing this with you. Gao Xun is very busy and is not my full-time driver. It will take my driver at least two hours to come here. My time is very precious."
Suman was defeated.
She entered the hotel address into the navigation and slowly drove onto the main road.
Xiao Beisheng's face was as calm as water, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Along the way, Suman drove very fast.
In less than half an hour, we arrived at the hotel.
Su Man parked the car on the side of the road, not even willing to go near the hotel, she started to drive people away: "We're here, get out of the car quickly."
"This place is still about 800 meters from the hotel, right? Is this how you send people off?"
Su Man gritted her teeth.
It’s a nice gift for you.
So many demands?!
"I'm not your driver. I treat you as Shi Yan's friend. I'm giving you a ride out of courtesy. Please show me some respect. I'm giving you a ride out of courtesy, so please show some appreciation, instead of pushing your luck."
"Are you sure we have a polite relationship?"
“…”
Su Man thought of what Xiao Beisheng said to Luo Yan on the rooftop last time.
He said that he was just too bored, so he looked for Suman to entertain himself.
She said, "If you are really bored, you can find someone else to entertain yourself with, not me. I have a husband and children."
"That's not what you said when you took advantage of me."
Su Man's self-esteem was crushed bloodily, and her whole body was trembling because of her endurance.
"We are exchanging equal value, aren't we? As for the money you gave me, I will return it to you."
"Equivalent?" Xiao Beisheng pondered, his well-proportioned hands resting on his knees, tapping them intermittently. "You despise yourself, but why should I accompany you when you have something to do, Zhong Wuyan, and when you don't?"
"From now on..." Su Man made up her mind, "I won't look for you anymore."
Xiao Beisheng's eyes darkened.
He unbuckled his seatbelt, but instead of getting out of the car, he leaned over to Su Man and grabbed her chin. "You're being quite arrogant. Do you think that Qiao Shiyan's career has made a new start, and you've become tough too?"
"I just know myself. I used to be self-righteous and thought I could play with you guys, but now I understand that I can't beat you, and I admit defeat." Su Man's eyelashes drooped and her tone was flat.
"Your tone doesn't sound like you're admitting defeat. Instead, you sound quite stubborn."
While Xiao Beisheng was speaking, he pulled his seat belt calmly.
"Shua——"
The seat belts were tied around Suman's wrists.
Su Man realized later that her hands had been tied behind her back.
Her eyes widened in disbelief: "What are you doing?!"
Xiao Beisheng retreated to the passenger seat.
He glanced at the time, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest:
"Forty minutes have passed since we left, minus the thirty minutes of travel time. You and I have been outside for ten minutes. Don't worry, we can sit here for another two hours, and it won't be too late for you to go back."
How come Su Man doesn’t know what he is planning?
The two people's destination was the hotel.
For no reason, she was alone with him for more than an hour or two.
Even if nothing happened between her and Xiao Beisheng, who would believe it?
"Xiao Beisheng, is this interesting?"
“I think it’s very interesting.”
Su Man was so angry that she laughed.
"What's wrong with you tonight?"
Xiao Beisheng suddenly sat up, his hands resting on Su Man's sides, veins bulging on either side of his handsome temples. "I also want to ask myself what's wrong with me today. It's your birthday, and I know you don't like birthdays and are afraid of them, so I postponed the meeting and ran to Man Garden, sitting there all afternoon. In the evening, I knew you were going to the river, so I followed you there. When I saw the photo of you and Qiao Shiyan together, I wanted to tear it up. I also want to know what's wrong with me."
Su Man looked at him with a stutter, feeling a little bewildered and confused.
After a moment, she calmed down.
Avoiding his fierce gaze, Su Man said in a light voice:
"I understand. You're used to having everything you want. I guess it's your possessiveness that's at work. You think everything you want in this world should be yours. Once it slips out of your control, you go crazy."
Xiao Beisheng laughed.
Su Man wasn't sure what that smile meant.
All I heard him say was, "That's a great analysis. I'm going to take back control now. I don't know how much trust your husband has in you, and whether your relationship will be as good as before after tonight."
