Chapter 44 Like an Affair
Jiang Xu returned to the office and her colleagues looked at her curiously.
Jiaojiao hugged her and asked excitedly, "How did you do it? What did you say to Mr. He?"
Jiang Xu smiled: "What?"
Jiaojiao curled her lips towards the workstation not far away: "She started packing up as soon as she came back."
Zhang Xinya packed her things with great noise, throwing everything into the bag with a bang, and then carried it away.
Just as she met Jiang Xu, her arrogant aura disappeared. She avoided Jiang Xu's gaze and walked away with her head down.
Colleagues surrounded Jiang Xu and started talking at once.
"Jiang Xu, you're amazing. How did you do that?"
"Her uncle is on the board of directors!"
"Yes, Zhang Xinya's arrogance has disappeared. I've never seen her so embarrassed before."
"Jiang Xu, you don't have any big secrets that we don't know about, do you?"
Listening to everyone's speculation, Jiang Xu thought: Is He Yanting her big brother? This time she has indeed got him.
"No, Mr. He checked the surveillance on the yacht. I don't know anything else."
Jiang Xu explained vaguely.
Jiaojiao happily wanted to treat her to a meal, but she politely declined.
Now Jiang Xu just wants to wait quietly until the Human Resources Department submits her resignation letter, and after He Yanting signs it, she can leave.
She had nothing to do that day, so she secretly studied on her mobile phone.
When I was about to get off work, He Yanting called.
Jiang Xu first looked around cautiously. Seeing that her colleagues were busy, she pressed the answer button.
"Take my car home after get off work."
He started out with an imperative tone.
Jiang Xu frowned: "Is there something wrong?"
He Yanting said, "If nothing happens, then I can't look for you?"
Jiang Xu suppressed his anger and said, "Who are you ordering? You can't control me after get off work. Speak politely. At least get my approval before doing anything."
He Yanting scoffed: "Okay, I'm polite. So are you going to your house or mine?"
Jiang Xu:?
In silence, He Yanting said lazily, "Didn't you ask me to be polite? I'm leaving the choice to you. Isn't that polite enough?"
That's not polite at all.
"No, I want to go home by myself." Jiang Xu refused.
He Yanting said calmly, "Either you wait for me, or I'll come to your workstation to find you right now. It's your choice."
"He Yanting, how could you do this?"
Jiang Xu covered her mouth and scolded angrily.
He Yanting smiled: "What about me?"
Jiang Xu pursed her lips, the word "shameless" rolled around in her mouth, and she swallowed it silently.
Forget it. I owe him a favor today anyway, so I'll just repay it.
"Got it, don't be too late."
Hearing her compromise, He Yanting was in a good mood, and his magnetic voice rang in his ears like electricity: "We are soft and obedient."
Bang!
The phone was hung up mercilessly.
He Yanting looked at his phone, shook his head and smiled.
When Gao Cheng walked in, he saw the boss, who was supposed to be concentrating on his work, grinning like a pervert at his phone.
I guess he was talking to Jiang Xueruo on the phone just now.
"Mr. He, Wu Haoxin has found some new information."
Gao Cheng handed over the information.
He Yanting suppressed his smile, took the document and flipped through it, his handsome thin lips curled up in a cold arc.
Gao Cheng said, "This old fox is hiding very well. He thinks he's doing a good job, but there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. He underestimated your methods."
He Yanting closed the file, locked it in the cabinet, stood up and said, "You've been working hard recently. I'll leave work early tonight."
Gao Cheng was stunned: "What?"
He Yanting raised his eyebrows: "I asked you to leave work early. If you don't want to, you can work overtime if you want."
Gao Cheng was completely confused.
I have been following Mr. He for three years, and I have been working around the clock, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The term "leaving get off work early" sounds a little unfamiliar.
"Do you have an appointment?"
He suddenly understood something.
He Yanting smiled faintly: "Quite smart."
Gao Cheng nodded secretly, thinking that he was going to accompany Jiang Xueruo. The group had been very busy recently and had indeed neglected her.
Then he thought of Jiang Xu again.
That woman has nothing to do except pestering Mr. He. Today, Mr. He gave Wu Haoxin a hard time. Could it be that Jiang Xu is being self-indulgent and thinking that it was because of her?
It is very likely, after all, that woman has always been self-indulgent.
Mr. He is so unlucky to be entangled with such a woman.
—
Ten minutes after get off work, He Yanting sent a message: Where do we meet?
Jiang Xu replied: West Gate corner.
Few people leave Ximen, and Jiang Xu doesn't want to be seen or have rumors spread about him when he is about to leave.
The next second, He Yanting sent a voice message.
Jiang Xu didn't click on it. She packed up her things and took the elevator downstairs. When she was almost at the west gate, she saw that there was no one around, so she clicked on the voice message.
A magnetic and deep voice came:
[Okay, like having an affair, if you like this, I don’t mind.]
What kind of affair is this?
Jiang Xu felt that his phone was dirty and almost threw it away.
After walking out of the west gate and turning a corner, I saw the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom parked quietly on the side of the road.
Like a giant beast lurking in the dark, it is staring closely at its prey, waiting for the right moment to swallow it in one gulp.
Just as Jiang Xu was about to get in through the back door, the front window rolled down and He Yanting's voice rang out, "Sit in the passenger seat."
Jiang Xu sat in the passenger seat and glanced at He Yanting.
"Why are you driving? Where's Lao Liu?"
He Yanting started the car and asked without saying anything, "Have you decided? Are we going to your house or mine?"
Jiang Xu frowned: "My home."
He Yanting curled his lips and turned the steering wheel.
The two of them had been silent. Jiang Xu lowered his head to study on his phone when suddenly the car turned a corner.
Jiang Xu found a supermarket in front of him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He Yanting said, "I'm going to buy groceries and cook. Otherwise, I'll just starve to death at your house."
Jiang Xu: “…”
She had a normal appetite during her pregnancy and usually ate some fruit and cereal at night. There was really not much food at home.
After entering the supermarket, He Yanting asked Jiang Xu what she wanted to eat.
Jiang Xu shook his head: "Just buy what you want to eat."
He Yanting went to pick vegetables with ease.
He was wearing a neat handmade black suit, and he was 1.9 meters tall. He had a handsome cold face, but he was pushing a cart to buy groceries, looking like a caring husband.
The scene was so visually impactful that it instantly attracted countless eyes.
But He Yanting seemed not to notice, or he had long been accustomed to this kind of attention. He carefully selected the tomatoes in the basket without looking around.
Watching him buying groceries, Jiang Xu felt a little dazed.
She knew that He Yanting was a good cook.
They had been together for more than half a year at that time. It was spring and the weather was beautiful, so they went to the suburbs to spend the weekend.
The location was chosen by Jiang Xu, a B&B in a small town surrounded by beautiful mountains and rivers. The only problem was that there were no restaurants nearby.
Jiang Xu has never touched water since he was a child. He can't even tell the difference between soy sauce and vinegar, let alone cook.
She snuggled in He Yanting's arms and said aggrievedly, "It seems we can only eat instant noodles for the next two days."
He Yanting smiled and pinched her cheek: "How can you let us go hungry? Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"You can cook, is that true?"
Jiang Xu expressed doubt.
He Yanting smiled: "There's still a lot you don't know about me."
He took her to the market in the small town to buy vegetables, rice and various seasonings, and when he came back he cooked a table of dishes very easily.
Jiang Xu ate happily and teased him, "You are so virtuous, I must marry you home."
He Yanting picked up some food for her and laughed, "I couldn't ask for more."
That night, after Jiang Xu's repeated persuasion, He Yanting finally agreed to lie in the same bed with her.
She lay in his arms, smelling his fresh scent.
He Yanting said awkwardly, "Ruanruan, could you please stop tempting me? I'm afraid I can't help myself."
Jiang Xu blushed: "How could I seduce you?"
He Yanting buried his face in her neck and muttered, "Your breath is so sweet."
Jiang Xu was speechless. Was his breathing also wrong?
That night, the hot-blooded He Yanting ran to the bathroom several times to take cold showers and did not sleep well the whole night. The next day, he had dark circles under his eyes and was ridiculed by Jiang Xu.
