Jiang Susu took a bite of the cake and found it had a refreshing matcha flavor and a cool, refreshing texture; it was a matcha-flavored ice cream cake.
Seeing that Jiang Susu's hair was down and it was inconvenient for her to eat cake, Shang Yanxing walked up behind her.
She said gently, "Madam, please don't move yet. Put your hair up so it will be easier to eat the cake later."
Jiang Susu sat up straight obediently, not daring to move, and let Shang Yanxing style her hair.
Shang Yanxing skillfully grabbed her smooth hair, carefully styled it, and finally tied it into a low ponytail, placing it on one side, which matched her cheongsam perfectly.
Shang Yanxing looked at the neatly styled low ponytail and smiled with satisfaction. "It's done. Madam can continue eating cake now."
Jiang Susu touched her hair and said politely, "Thank you."
Shang Yanxing curled his lips into a smile. "Madam, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Jiang Susu whispered, "Why do you seem so skilled at this? Have you done other people's hair before?"
The person in charge of a prominent business actually knows how to style their hair, and it's a very elegant low ponytail.
Although Jiang Susu spoke softly, Shang Yanxing still heard her. "No, Madam is the first one."
This was something he learned specifically for her.
Jiang Susu was momentarily taken aback. "Huh?"
Shang Yanxing gazed intently at Jiang Susu, patiently repeating, "I said, I've never styled hair for any other woman before; Madam is the first."
He knew his little girl liked wearing cheongsams, so he specially learned how to wear them for a period of time.
It's all so that one day I can style the hair of the girl I love.
Jiang Susu's originally soft, fair, and delicate face instantly flushed red. She nodded blankly, "Oh, okay... alright."
"If you like it, Madam, I can style your hair for you often in the future."
"You're so busy, where would you find the time?" She sensed something strange about Shang Yanxing. Their marriage was clearly arranged, so why did he seem so attentive to her?
But after thinking about it, I realized that she might be overthinking things.
What kind of person is Shang Yanxing? A prodigy, perhaps it's his own way of getting along with others?
While Jiang Susu was still wondering, Shang Yanxing replied, "I'm not busy. I can still find time to do your hair. Besides, didn't Mother also say that I shouldn't focus on work but should pay more attention to you?"
"Then... do as you please." It turned out she had overthought things; Shang Yanxing was only doing this because of his mother.
She's really overthinking it.
"Okay, then if I have time, I'll do your hair for you."
Jiang Susu nodded and then continued eating her cake.
Shang Yanxing kept looking at her, his gaze never leaving her for a moment.
Jiang Susu was eating cake when she seemed to feel a burning gaze fixed on her. She looked up and met Shang Yanxing's beautiful eyes.
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
Shang Yanxing stared at her, feeling something was off.
"It's alright, Madam, just focus on eating your cake." He just wanted to watch her quietly.
Jiang Susu scooped a spoonful of cake and held it to Shang Yanxing's lips. "Do you want some? This is delicious, and don't you like matcha cake too? Try some."
Shang Yanxing was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Susu sharing with him so happily.
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing without saying a word, and then at her own actions, she suddenly realized that the spoon was the one she had used.
My first instinct was to pull my hand back. "Excuse me, I forgot. I've used this spoon before. Let me get you a new one."
Just as Jiang Susu was about to pull her hand back, Shang Yanxing grabbed her wrist and took a bite of the cake. "It's okay, no need to go to so much trouble, I can use this."
How could he possibly dislike the girl he's liked for so many years?
After Jiang Susu withdrew her hand, she immediately started eating the cake with the spoon.
One person was looking down, seemingly a little embarrassed.
Seeing her shy expression, Shang Yanxing found it quite amusing.
After a while, Shang Yanxing seemed to remember something, and his eyes dimmed noticeably. "I heard that Shen Shiyan is getting engaged to Meng Shihua's youngest daughter, Meng Shuang, next month."
Jiang Susu paused for a moment, then looked up and nodded. "Yes, I've heard about it too."
Shen Shiyan and Meng Shuang are engaged. If they really get together, that would be great.
Meng Shuang really likes Shen Shiyan, and Shen Shiyan... probably likes Meng Shuang too, right?
Shang Yanxing's gaze never left Jiang Susu for a moment; he even tried to glean something from her eyes.
Shang Yanxing asked cautiously, "Will Madam be upset because of this?"
After liking someone for so many years, suddenly he marries someone else. Anyone would feel sad in that situation.
A hint of sadness flashed in Jiang Susu's eyes, but it was only for a moment, and no one would notice it if they didn't look closely.
She then returned to normal, even managing a smile as she shook her head at Shang Yanxing, "No, why would I be sad? We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
There will be no more connection between us.
Even if Shen Shiyan begged her, she would never turn back.
Wasn't six years of lessons enough? Why did you have to jump into the pit again and let him hurt you once more?
"Really?" He would be relieved if he really wouldn't be sad.
Jiang Susu said very seriously, "Yes, really."
Actually, she realized that she didn't seem to like Shen Shiyan as much as she used to.
But before, she really liked that man.
Now that I've let it go, it's actually not so bad.
"Yes, if that's how you see it, then I'm relieved." He was afraid she might be secretly sad behind his back.
She was even more afraid that she didn't know what to do, and that she didn't seem to have any right to do anything for her.
"I bought a plush toy for you, Madam. It will be delivered tomorrow morning. Please remember to sign for it."
He picked it out himself, hoping she would like it.
"A plush toy?"
Seeing that Jiang Susu seemed a little surprised, Shang Yanxing explained, "Didn't I promise Madam last time that I would buy her a plush toy?"
He always keeps his promises.
Jiang Susu then remembered this matter, "You actually bought it?" She thought Shang Yanxing was just joking, but she didn't expect him to actually buy it.
Even though it's acting, is it really necessary to take it so seriously?
Those born under heaven are different; they take everything very seriously.
"Yes, wasn't that something I promised Madam? How could I possibly go back on my promise to Madam?"
He remembered this incident for a long time, but the young woman didn't take it seriously.
Shang Yanxing continued, "Or is it that Madam doesn't like it?"
Jiang Susu shook her head. "How could I not like it?" After all, it was his heartfelt gesture. How could she not like it?
