Jiang Susu explained somewhat flusteredly, "I...I didn't mean to. It must have been because I was drunk at the time, so...so that's why I acted recklessly while drunk. I...I'm so sorry."
How could she just kiss someone like that?
And it was Shang Yanxing! Now look what's happened, he's given his first kiss to her.
Looking at the flustered woman in front of him, Shang Yanxing asked, "So if it wasn't intentional, you don't have to take responsibility?" Wouldn't that be a huge loss for him?
He gave his first kiss to this young woman, and once he sobered up, he didn't want to take responsibility for her.
Jiang Susu felt a little helpless, but she forced herself to say, "Then... then I'll treat you to a meal another day, okay?"
This man isn't short of money. Treating him to a meal and then apologizing would probably show more sincerity!
"Treat me to a meal?" Shang Yanxing deliberately dragged out the last syllable, looking at Jiang Susu with an incredulous expression.
Does he look like someone who's short of a meal?
Moreover, they are now husband and wife, and she's treating everyone to dinner. Is she trying to make sure others don't know their true relationship?
"Wh...what's wrong?" Why does Shang Yanxing look like that? Is he shocked?
But she couldn't seem to think of any other solutions.
"Madam, we are husband and wife now. Are you inviting me to dinner because you want others to know about our relationship?"
"If we don't say anything, we can just pretend we're having dinner as a normal couple." She didn't know why Shang Yanxing was reacting so strongly. If they went out to eat together, and they didn't say anything, no one would know that she was the one treating Shang Yanxing.
But this man seemed to mind.
"No, I'm afraid it will expose us. Madam, you should choose someone else." He didn't know if his identity would be exposed, but he certainly didn't want to.
Jiang Susu thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a good solution.
"I...I don't know what else to do. Otherwise, what do you suggest? I'll compensate you according to your request."
Shang Yanxing might not be satisfied with the solution she proposed, so she let him figure it out himself.
After thinking for a while, Shang Yanxing said, "How about this, if Madam agrees to one request, we'll consider this matter even and pretend nothing ever happened."
His main concern was that he didn't want Jiang Susu to feel so guilty, since it was only a matter of time before the two of them got together anyway.
What are the requirements?
"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell Madam when I've thought it through." He had to cherish this opportunity and think about what request he should make.
Jiang Susu agreed without hesitation, "Okay, then just let me know when you've thought it through."
Shang Yanxing said with a wicked smile, "Madam agreed so readily, aren't you afraid I'll sell you off later?"
Jiang Susu looked at Shang Yanxing with her clear eyes and said with a smile, "No way, you're so rich, how could you sell me? I'm not worth much."
After spending this time together, she came to believe in Shang Yanxing's character.
"Does Madam trust me that much?" It seems he has a pretty good image in the young lady's eyes.
Jiang Susu nodded without hesitation. "Yes, I believe you." What could Shang Yanxing possibly want from her?
Such a prominent figure would attract everyone's attention; how could Shang Yanxing possibly have any designs on others?
This is unlikely to happen.
After Jiang Susu finished drinking the hangover soup, she handed the bowl to Shang Yanxing.
She rubbed her temples; she still had a headache, probably because she had just drunk the hangover soup.
Upon seeing this, Shang Yanxing knew that she had a headache and hadn't had time to drink the hangover soup when she returned.
The girl wouldn't let him leave the room, so he thought he'd drink it later, but he still got a headache.
"Does your head hurt? You're not allowed to go to bars to drink anymore."
Jiang Susu stared at Shang Yanxing, momentarily stunned. Why did she sense that this man's tone was a little angry?
And why is this man suddenly concerned with so much?
Jiang Susu whispered, "Do you need to worry about this too?"
Shang Yanxing also heard Jiang Susu's words, and he said with a serious face, "Can't I do anything about it? If Mom and Dad find out, won't they punish me? Letting their daughter-in-law go to a bar to drink, they'll probably blame me for it. Besides, it's not safe for Madam to go to a bar alone. So, Madam, can you promise me that you won't go to a bar alone anymore? If you're really unhappy, you can drink at home."
It's better than letting her go to the bar alone.
If he hadn't known, or hadn't arrived in time, he wouldn't have known what dangerous situation had occurred.
Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this man quite fierce just now? Why does he seem more and more aggrieved as he speaks?
She felt that the man was trying to gain sympathy from her, but she had no evidence.
So in the end, Jiang Susu agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I won't go to bars alone to drink anymore."
Shang Yanxing insisted on nitpicking with Jiang Susu, "Going with others is not allowed either, like today, going with Lin Musheng is not allowed either. She can't even protect herself, let alone protect Madam. So no matter how many people are there, Madam cannot go to the bar."
He couldn't rest easy without her by his side.
Even if the little girl wasn't going alone, I still wouldn't feel at ease.
Although Jiang Susu was somewhat helpless, she still agreed, "Okay, I promise you, I won't go to bars anymore, okay?"
Hearing Jiang Susu agree, Shang Yanxing nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, Madam is very good."
Jiang Susu was also helpless; she seemed to have no way to deal with this man.
It's clearly just a marriage of convenience, but this man is meddling in everything.
However, it was indeed for her own good, so Jiang Susu didn't hold it against her.
Shang Yanxing treated her fairly well, although it was only to appease his family, he genuinely cared about her feelings.
A man like that would probably make a very good husband if he got married.
Lin Musheng didn't drink too much, so Gu Xichen left after taking her home.
That evening, Lin Musheng also made a phone call to Jiang Susu.
"Susu, did you get scolded when you got home? I thought Shang Yanxing was pretty fierce back then, I felt like he was going to yell at you to death when you got home."
"How could that be? How dare he insult me? He doesn't have that kind of ability."
Just as Jiang Susu was making the phone call, Shang Yanxing walked in.
Jiang Susu had the phone on speakerphone, so Shang Yanxing heard everything Lin Musheng said.
Shang Yanxing overheard what Jiang Susu said.
When Jiang Susu saw Shang Yanxing, she almost dropped her phone.
"That's true. You two seem so loving, he probably wouldn't have the heart to scold you."
Lin Musheng's voice came through the phone, startling Jiang Susu so much that she nervously hung up.
