Two men, like her protectors, accompanied her, both captivated by her charm.
In Lin Moxiao's eyes, he had always thought Jiang Shuya was a delicate flower that needed his care. But seeing her confident and composed demeanor, her clear logic, and her eloquent conversation with a group of men, he truly saw her in a new light.
On the contrary, Sun Qi was not too surprised. He had already witnessed Jiang Shuya's courage. However, he was sitting in his office today, absent-minded. When he saw the faint marks on Jiang Shuya's neck, he felt lost and sad.
After the contract was signed, Jiang Shuya discussed the next steps of the renovation with Sun Qi. Sun Qi's mind was in a daze, as if it needed to be restarted. She just listened quietly. Lin Moxiao was always by her side and could sense the thoughts in the mind of the young man in front of her.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? My wife has been talking to you." Lin Moxiao deliberately reminded him.
The sudden address made Jiang Shuya's brow twitch, and she stared blankly at Lin Moxiao.
Sun Qi also came to her senses:
"Shuya, you two are married."
Jiang Shuya was about to answer when Lin Moxiao interrupted her, "Soon, we'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and then we'll have a wedding. We'll invite you to the wedding banquet."
Jiang Shuya, still indignant, tried to calm her agitated mood and slowly stood up, saying:
"Sun Qi, thank you for your help with the renovation progress these past few days. Next, I need to do a detailed preparation for the store opening, including store poster design and staff recruitment."
Jiang Shuya had a lot of work to do. She had been thinking about the procedures for opening a store for the past few days, so she decided to go back to Xixia Village to discuss it with Zhang Xiaohui.
"Sister-in-law, is the online business still losing money on new customers?" Sun Qi turned on her computer, pulled up the data from that period, and pointed it out.
"You see, the number of new users this month is stable compared to last month, but the number of repeat customers has increased significantly, and the profit/loss situation shows a clear upward trend."
Jiang Shuya looked at the data Sun Qi pointed to, a smile appearing on her face;
"Great, now I feel more confident. In a couple of days, come with me to Software Avenue to meet the person in charge of this platform."
Sun Qi looked puzzled, scratched his head, and stared blankly at her.
Lin Moxiao disliked the way Sun Qi looked at Jiang Shuya, and cleared her throat:
"Xiaoya, are you ready? It's lunchtime, remember to eat on time."
After saying that, she pulled her away, but Jiang Shuya glanced back at Sun Qi and said, "Contact me anytime if you need anything. If you can't solve it, be sure to call me."
Lin Moxiao's lips curled into a mocking smile:
"Are you omnipotent? He comes to you when he can't solve his problems, so is he even a man?"
Jiang Shuya didn't bother arguing with him. To her, the man in front of her was like a kite; the higher it flew, the less she could hold onto it, and it would disappear without a trace if she wasn't careful.
Lin Moxiao took her to a relatively quiet Michelin-starred restaurant and ordered several nutritious and light dishes.
The dishes were served quickly. Lin Moxiao brought the steamed fish to her and picked out the boneless part for her.
"This is fresh meat, very nutritious, and boneless. Eat more; I want to fatten you up so you can be my bride."
Mentioning this topic made Jiang Shuya's heart tighten, and she instantly lost all interest in the various delicacies in front of her.
"Lin Moxiao, I don't think I ever agreed to marry you!"
Lin Moxiao smiled good-naturedly, placed the nutritious soup he had brought in front of her, and seeing that she was really angry, he reached out and hugged her, whispering in her ear:
"No rush, it'll happen sooner or later. I'll wait for you. But you have to promise me that before then, you absolutely mustn't get too close to other men. You know, I'll go crazy, I'll want to kill someone."
After saying that, he blew on Jiang Shuya's nutritious soup, scooped out a spoonful, and brought it to her lips.
"Drink it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Jiang Shuya stiffly opened her mouth and swallowed the soup that was brought to her lips. Her heart was filled with bitterness, and he continued to feed her.
"I can do it myself." She took the bowl, her heart filled with bitterness, unable to savor the delicious food before her.
One afternoon, she let him lead her around like a wooden doll. They came to a clothing store, and Lin Moxiao asked the sales assistant to help her choose clothes, but she refused to try them on. Lin Moxiao didn't force her. He held up each piece of clothing to her, selected a few sets, paid, and left.
They went to the cosmetics store again. Because Jiang Shuya has allergies, she can't use many skincare products casually. He still asked the sales assistant to introduce them. No matter what the sales assistant said, Jiang Shuya didn't say anything and sat there with her eyes vacant.
Lin Moxiao sat down next to her:
"Xiaoya, which one do you want? If you don't say anything, I'll just have to buy everything that's been introduced here and try them out slowly when we get home."
So Jiang Shuya randomly pointed to one item, and Lin Moxiao understood immediately. He asked the waiter to pack it up as soon as possible, paid for it, and quickly left the store with the items.
In half a day, he bought a lot of things, filling the entire trunk, but he was still very anxious. In order to be with her, he abandoned his post and put his phone on silent, even though it was about to be bombarded with calls.
He could ignore all other calls, but he dared not ignore the calls from his grandmother. He knew that if he disappeared for too long, the company would call his grandmother, which was what he feared most.
Ms. Liang was like a time bomb, constantly making him feel anxious and uneasy.
However, nothing seemed as important as the woman in front of him. He knew that Jiang Shuya had not forgiven him. At least in front of him, she no longer smiled, did not speak to him, and always kept her distance. All of this deeply hurt his heart. Although he wanted to marry her and make up for it with everything he had, Jiang Shuya did not seem to be buying it.
She was unlike any of the women he had ever dated before. She didn't pester him, she never asked for anything from him, and she never asked for any luxury items. But the more she didn't want them, the more he wanted to buy them for her. At that moment, he made up his mind to treat her even better in order to make up for the heartbreak he had caused her.
As the car slowly drove along, a light rain began to fall outside. Lin Moxiao turned on the car's soothing pop music player; it was a marriage proposal song.
"Xiaoya, how about we get married? I'll give you a formal status, and I plan to transfer the ownership of that house in Hexi to you. Let's schedule a time to go to the real estate bureau to complete the transfer, okay?"
Jiang Shuya chuckled but remained silent. She had a premonition that after these few meetings, Lin Moxiao would no longer ask to take her to meet his grandmother, that seasoned businesswoman. She was certain that the old lady would not approve of her grandson associating with a woman who was of no help to the family business.
