Chapter 92: Gathering
Su Man stood up, her face flushed. She felt inexplicably hot, probably because the hair dryer had made her hot. "Well, it's done. I'll go out and prepare a quilt for you."
"Do we need to prepare a separate quilt? Can't we just use the same one?"
Xiao Beisheng pulled her in, his big hand loosely around her arm.
He leaned back against the dressing table, his long legs casually propped up on the ground, and pulled Su Man in front of him, "You won't thank me?"
"Oh, I forgot... Thank you for blow-drying my hair."
"I said, I'm a very practical person and I don't accept verbal thanks."
His fingers slid through the hair on the side of her cheek, and he looked at her deeply.
This atmosphere made Su Man a little drunk. Just before she was about to drown in Xiao Beisheng's eyes, she leaned forward and pecked Xiao Beisheng's lips, but before he could savor it, she pulled away.
"A beautiful woman's kiss is very valuable. You just blow-dry my hair once and I give you a sweet kiss. You earn money."
Xiao Beisheng's eyebrows raised slightly.
Su Man turned to run away, but was stopped by Xiao Beisheng again. She was trapped in a small corner. She felt a weight on her waist and was carried to the dressing table by him. Xiao Beisheng supported her with both hands and said in a low voice, "I'll advance the money first. Put it on my account."
After saying that, he kissed her red lips.
Su Mancha's long brown hair was slightly curly, falling on her shoulders and cheeks. Xiao Beisheng kissed her while he took action, rolled up her hair, and put it in a curl, then held it behind her head with his hands.
Su Man was forced to retreat step by step. He hugged her, and her back almost leaned against the mirror.
In her peripheral vision, she could see herself and him in the mirror, hugging and kissing.
Her eyes opened slightly, tears welling up in the corners, filled with lust. He seemed to have been bewitched to the point of losing his mind, restraining himself while going crazy.
Su Man knew that things would not be that simple.
Xiao Beisheng untied the belt of her nightgown. Su Man held his hand and said, "Don't do it here. I'm so tired."
Xiao Beisheng paused, and with great respect for her, he stopped and carried her towards the big bed in the bedroom.
The moment Su Man was put on the soft quilt, she knew that it was impossible to rest tonight.
When they get together, it's like thunder and lightning striking each other's way.
Since their marriage, the two have not seen each other for more than half a month. Xiao Beisheng seemed to have been holding it in for a long time.
This is probably what it means when people say a short separation makes the heart grow fonder.
After getting their marriage certificate and moving that day, and having a candlelight dinner, their intimate atmosphere was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Luo Yan. After that, they had few opportunities to be together, and there was no such atmosphere.
Tonight seems to be a continuation of the regrets of that night.
Su Man also cooperated with him and treated this as her wedding night, and was much more enthusiastic than before.
The next day, the two missed the train that Suman had booked.
Of course, with Xiao Beisheng there, Su Man didn't take the train back in the end. Instead, she took a helicopter and returned to Haicheng in less than forty minutes.
They returned to Dilanyuan, and Su Man's painting was also sent.
Xiao Beisheng was slightly surprised when he saw the painting. "Are you going to Qu City this time to ask for a painting?"
"Yeah." Su Man nodded happily and started to open the express.
Xiao Beisheng came over and helped her open the package. "They say that Master Yun Guhong's paintings are hard to come by, and you actually got one."
He seemed to be lost in thought. Su Man chuckled, "I'm awesome."
"How did you convince Mr. Yun?"
"secret."
Xiao Beisheng looked at Su Man with a smile, and Su Man was dazzled by his smiling eyes.
Xiao Beisheng had a pair of peach blossom eyes, the kind that looked affectionate even to a dog. At this moment, he was looking at her with a smile on his face, which made Su Man feel that there was a sparkle of pampering and love in his eyes.
But Suman knew that was not the case.
It's impossible for him to have deep feelings for her.
Su Man thought of something and said, "I met your mother at Mr. Yun's painting exhibition."
Xiao Beisheng paused slightly, looked at Su Man, and waited for her next words.
"She also came to ask for a painting, but Mr. Yun gave it to me instead of her. Furthermore, after revealing my true identity, she asked me to give it to her, but I refused... I think I made her angry."
Su Man said this, tentatively looking at Xiao Beisheng's changing expression.
Xiao Beisheng said, "This painting was given to you by Mr. Yun. There's no reason for her to intervene and steal it away from you."
Su Man carefully savored the attitude in his words.
He doesn't seem to have a very deep relationship with his mother.
"I was planning to give this painting to your grandmother. Your mother asked for it to celebrate your grandmother's birthday. Is that okay?" Su Man was still a little nervous.
Xiao Beisheng nodded, his expression unchanged, "It all depends on your ability."
"Don't you think that a daughter-in-law should give in to her mother-in-law?"
When talking about this identity relationship, Xiao Beisheng's eyes suddenly brightened. He raised his eyes and stared at Su Man with interest. "You were not so self-conscious when you were with me. How come you feel like a wife now?"
"Isn't it because I'm worried that I can't handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law well, and you'll be embarrassed..."
"You don't need to deal with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Only an incompetent husband would be caught in the middle. You don't have to worry about these things when you marry me. You will do what you did before marriage and what you will do after marriage. Just follow your heart."
Su Man looked at Xiao Beisheng quietly for two seconds: "Xiao Beisheng, I'm actually very happy to be your wife."
A smug smile appeared on Xiao Beisheng's face, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Su Man didn't say the rest of the sentence. What she wanted to say was that she didn't know who would be lucky enough to be his wife in the future.
She thought for a moment and said, "Not only did I meet your mother, I also met Luo Yan. She and your mother are together."
Xiao Beisheng's expression became a little more serious, and he asked, "Are you unhappy?"
This change in him made Su Man feel that he cared a lot about Luo Yan.
"No. I just thought of this and wanted to tell you about it." Su Man said.
She certainly wasn't unhappy.
She was just surprised that Luo Yan had such a harmonious relationship with Xiao Beisheng's family.
Compared to her, Luo Yan in the Xiao family is more like a big tree whose roots and stems have long been deeply rooted in the soil.
"I've tried so hard to get my family to accept her... but that's all in the past now, so let's not talk about it. Now that you've chosen a gift for Grandma, I'll help you pick out the packaging, how about that? I'll have the store custom-make a few designs and have someone bring the materials and patterns to your door so you can choose."
Xiao Beisheng changed the subject. Although he was very considerate about Su Man's affairs, Su Man felt like there was something blocking her heart.
Heavy, clogged.
For someone like Xiao Beisheng, the less he speaks out loud and the deeper he hides it, the more he cares about it.
Whenever something happened to Luo Yan, he became abnormal.
I'm afraid that his feelings for Luo Yan are not as he said, and it's all over.
Su Man gathered some of her heart and quietly packed up her overflowing emotions. She would not bother knocking on a door that was only open to others, nor would she bother walking into a room that had long belonged to someone else.
