Chapter 57 Don't Do Stupid Things
Jiang Xu raised her eyes and looked at He Yanting: "I say, if you really like Jiang Xueruo that much, marry her like a man. I sincerely wish you a long and happy life together."
"Ginger Xu!"
In the darkness, He Yanting's eyes sparkled with anger. "I never had that kind of intention towards Xue Ruo. Don't say such things again."
Jiang Xu found it funny: "Are you trying to say that you always treat her as your sister?"
He Yanting said helplessly: "Yes."
He hugged Jiang Xu tightly, burying his face in her shoulder, "Ruanruan, please believe me."
Jiang Xu smiled: "Okay, I believe you. One day I will also find a brother, a half-brother. I hope you will believe me too."
He Yanting's face turned cold: "You dare."
He lifted Jiang Xu's chin, his eyes shining frighteningly, "The first day you acknowledged me as your brother, I will prevent him from seeing the sun the next day."
"You are so hypocritical, He Yanting."
Jiang Xu's face was full of mockery.
He Yanting made no secret of it: "Yes, I am double-standard, soft, don't challenge my bottom line, you stay by my side, give birth to the child, and we can live a good life as a family."
He hugged her so tightly, as if he wanted to strangle her into his bones and blood.
Jiang Xu did not resist, she knew she could not resist. The next second, a hot kiss fell on her neck.
The unique aura of He Yanting surrounded her, as if he wanted to imprint his message on her.
Jiang Xu's body trembled slightly, and the skin where the kiss fell felt numb as if it had been electrocuted.
She hated this uncontrollable physiological reaction.
She bit her lip and said vengefully, "If the child is not yours, can you let me go?"
He Yanting froze in his kiss and raised his head, "Ruanruan, haven't you figured it out yet? I want you as a person, not the child, and—"
He lowered his head again and bit her shoulder, his voice full of temptation: "I know the child is mine, and I also know that you love me."
He held her and lay down. "It's late. Go to sleep. Come with me to the company tomorrow. I have arranged a position for you."
Jiang Xu didn't say anything else.
She couldn't understand what He Yanting was thinking, and which of his words were true and which were false.
Of course, I don’t want to waste energy trying to figure it out.
She only heard her inner voice shouting: she wanted to leave, to get rid of it, to live her own life, to realize her own ideals.
She never wanted to struggle painfully in the quagmire of emotions like in her previous life, and finally abandon her life.
He Yanting hugged her tightly, and his fresh breath lingered in her nostrils.
Jiang Xu's eyes shone brightly in the darkness, like the brightest stars in the night sky, full of expectation and hope.
The next day, Jiang Xu was going to start her 50-day assistant job. She had already decided to slack off until the end. After all, studying at home was the same as studying in the company.
After washing up, she received a call from the furniture company, saying that the furniture would be delivered this afternoon.
Jiang Xu was happy.
In addition to finally having a desk, she also ordered a bed and would sleep in the guest bedroom.
She went downstairs to find He Yanting and found him busy in the kitchen.
A very familiar aroma of stomach-nourishing porridge wafts into my nose.
"You've arrived just in time for breakfast."
He Yanting was still in his pajamas. He put the casserole on the dining table and placed a bowl in front of Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu casually asked, "When did you do it?"
He Yanting raised his eyelids and looked at her: "I prepared the ingredients last night and got up this morning to make porridge."
Jiang Xu felt a little choked up, and her voice turned cold: "You don't have to be so troublesome. If I want to eat, I can buy it myself."
"It may not be available at all times when you go shopping, and I think this is the best thing for you. Pregnancy can make your appetite picky, so making it at home is the best option."
He Yanting said calmly, pulling out the chair, "Eat, it's almost time to go to work."
Jiang Xu said nothing, sat down and drank the porridge quietly. The delicious and soft food melted between his teeth and fell into his stomach warmly.
He Yanting watched her eat for a while before he started eating.
"By the way, the furniture company will come to deliver the furniture this afternoon." Jiang Xu said while drinking porridge.
He Yanting said, "I'll arrange for someone to open the door."
Jiang Xu nodded and said nothing more.
After breakfast, He Yanting was still the one who washed the dishes.
Jiang Xu seized the time to study because she was going abroad and she not only had to learn professional knowledge but also a foreign language, which was very stressful.
At some point, He Yanting appeared behind him.
"foreign language?"
He glanced at her tablet, his eyes probing, "You want to go abroad?"
Jiang Xu looked at him: "What's wrong?"
He Yanting lowered his eyes, his expression indifferent: "I said, you can study for a master's degree, but you have to go to Beijing."
Jiang Xu said: "You want to make the decision for me?"
He Yanting knelt on one knee in front of her, his palm resting on her belly. "This child is mine, I want to keep it. You are its mother, so naturally you have to keep it too."
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow: "You want to trap me with the child?"
He Yanting frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and then slowly said: "It's not just the child. If you want to leave, I will find other ways to keep you."
As he spoke, his hand grasped her wrist and held it tightly.
"Ruanruan, I can do anything, so don't do anything stupid."
Jiang Xu fell silent.
She smelled a threat in He Yanting's words.
Suddenly, He Yanting pulled her upstairs and into the cloakroom, "Help me put together a set of clothes."
Jiang Xu didn't move.
He Yanting whispered in her ear: "Ruanruan, be good, I have a meeting later."
Jiang Xu walked into the cloakroom and absentmindedly chose a shirt and tie.
As she was taking the shirt, she suddenly noticed a black shirt hanging in the corner.
The extremely lustrous fabric, with delicate patterns secretly embroidered with gold and silver threads, was the birthday gift she gave to He Yanting last year.
She thought that the clothes were either thrown away by him or given to Lin Yue.
Jiang Xu gently stroked the smooth fabric, confirming it was the right one, then turned around and picked a white shirt at random.
She came out with clothes. He Yanting had already taken off his pajamas. He had cold white skin, and his chest and abdominal muscles were as perfect as white marble hand-carved by an art master.
After just one glance, Jiang Xu lowered his eyelids and handed the clothes over: "Put them on."
"Help me."
He Yanting spoke with a very sexy voice.
Jiang Xu threw the clothes on him and said, "Wear it if you like."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He Yanting chuckled and put on his clothes silently.
Jiang Xu was waiting in the living room, reading a notebook on her lap, when she heard footsteps coming from upstairs.
He Yanting was wearing a seemingly simple white shirt and black suit, but he exuded a unique nobility, making it difficult for people to look away.
He picked up a tie with his fingertips: "Help me tie it."
Jiang Xu turned away: "No."
He Yanting curled his lips: "You will."
Jiang Xu suddenly remembered that she had tied a tie for He Yanting before.
They were still in love at that time. He Yanting was going to attend an important speech as a student representative of A University. Backstage, Jiang Xu helped him tie his tie.
But because it was my first time, I tied it crookedly.
Jiang Xu was very embarrassed: "Why don't you take it apart and tie it yourself? You'll be laughed at if you go on stage like this."
"Who's laughing at me? They're just envious."
He Yanting didn't look disgusted at all, instead his eyes were full of tenderness.
Jiang Xu lowered her head and smiled softly. He Yanting held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I used to watch those loving couples on TV, where the wife would tie her husband's tie every day. Ruanruan, I want you to tie my tie for me for the rest of my life, okay?"
His voice was like the vibration of the strings of the best cello in the world when it was plucked, and every sound made Jiang Xu's heart jump.
"Yeah." She nodded shyly.
Recalling those scenes, Jiang Xu felt very unfamiliar, as if they were memories belonging to two other people.
