Shang Yanxing walked in, looked at the somewhat guilty Jiang Susu, and asked, "Wasn't Madam just on the phone with Lin Musheng? Why did she suddenly hang up?"
Jiang Susu frowned, somewhat embarrassed, and asked, "You just... heard everything?"
She seems to have said something bad about this man, and he happened to overhear it.
Shang Yanxing's expression was calm. He explained, "Madam had the phone on speakerphone. I heard it from the doorway."
And he also overheard his aunt saying bad things about him.
Jiang Susu tried to explain to Shang Yanxing, "Mu... Mu Sheng was just joking, she didn't mean any harm."
She remembered that Shang Yanxing didn't seem to like it when people said he was fierce.
Shang Yanxing reflected on his behavior. Why did Lin Musheng say he was fierce?
Is he really that fierce?
Shang Yanxing asked, "Does Madam think I'm fierce?"
Jiang Susu immediately shook her head, "You're not fierce at all. You're usually very gentle and kind to me."
It's just that sometimes, when they get serious, they can be a little scary.
However, Jiang Susu didn't say her next sentence, afraid that Shang Yanxing would really be upset later.
"Does Madam really think I'm not fierce?" But when the little girl was drunk, she clearly said he was very fierce.
But now he says he's very gentle.
"Really, you're not fierce at all. Mr. Shang has such a good temper, how could he be fierce to me? Although I don't know how you treat other people, I feel that you are really gentle to me."
After Jiang Susu's explanation, Shang Yanxing finally believed her.
"Indeed, I don't have the ability to scold Madam, nor would I dare to." The young lady has someone backing her up.
If he dares to curse, Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou will definitely not let him off the hook.
"I...I was just joking, please...please don't be angry, I didn't mean it that way."
It was just to appease Lin Musheng, but who knew that Shang Yanxing would overhear it.
“I didn’t blame you, Madam. Why are you in such a hurry to explain to me? You know perfectly well that Mom and Dad like you very much. I really don’t dare to offend you, otherwise they definitely wouldn’t let me off the hook.”
Even if they don't want him as their son, they definitely won't let Jiang Susu be bullied.
"Shang Yanxing, stop joking with me. It makes it sound like I'm the one exploiting you."
Why does this man always look so wronged? It's like she's the one who bullied him.
Xie Wanjun and Shang Mengzhou protected her, so you can't blame her for that, right?
"Please don't be angry, Madam. I didn't mean that. I just meant that you have the right to discipline me. We're married now, so of course you can discipline me. I'll listen to you from now on, okay?"
Upon hearing Shang Yanxing's words, Jiang Susu was stunned for a moment.
Why would Shang Yanxing say such things to her, making her think every time that Shang Yanxing had fallen for her?
It often gave her this kind of fantasy.
Seeing that Jiang Susu remained silent, Shang Yanxing continued to ask, "What's wrong? Why isn't Madam saying anything? Are you still angry with me?"
Is this little girl so easily angered?
"No, I'm not angry. I... I'm fine with whatever you say, I'm okay with anything."
All she needs to do now is cooperate with Shang Yanxing, so she just needs to follow his instructions.
Shang Yanxing smiled and said, "Good, as long as Madam is not unhappy. I have never coaxed a girl before, so if Madam is angry, I may be a little clumsy and not know how to make Madam happy."
He only managed to appease this young woman.
"Really? But I feel like you're pretty good at sweet-talking people?" I used to buy her flowers and cakes.
A man like that claims he doesn't know how to charm girls? She just doesn't believe him.
Moreover, Shang Yanxing is so outstanding that countless people like him. How could he not have had any girls around him?
"Hmm? You don't believe me, Madam? I had never been in a relationship before I married you, so I really don't know how to coax a girl."
At that time, he was waiting for the girl he liked.
However, his family pressured him to get married, and he was getting older. Jiang Susu had always liked Shen Shiyan and had never looked at anyone else, so she compromised a little at that moment.
At that time, he thought that if Shen Shiyan also liked Jiang Susu, and if they both liked each other, then he would back out.
He would silently wish them both well.
But Shen Shiyan didn't like Jiang Susu, so he seized this opportunity to take advantage of her vulnerability.
Since Shen Shiyan doesn't like her, then the girl is his.
Jiang Susu looked somewhat surprised. "You academic high-achievers, did you focus so much on your studies in college that you didn't have time to date?"
Shang Yanxing was also a student at Peking University, only a few years earlier than her.
Therefore, Shang Yanxing can also be considered her senior.
Moreover, Shang Yanxing studied abroad during high school.
"Not entirely. Maybe it was because I hadn't met someone I liked at the time."
His little girl isn't here; he's all alone. What's there to talk about?
Jiang Susu nodded, seemingly understanding, "Okay, but I'm a little curious. Someone as outstanding as you, what kind of girl do you like? Is she also the kind who is exceptionally outstanding?"
After all, only an outstanding girl is worthy of someone like Shang Yanxing, right?
"Feelings don't need too many conditions attached. If you really like someone, you'll still like them no matter how bad they are. If you start making conditions, then it's not love, it's just self-interest."
Therefore, the girl he likes doesn't need to be outstanding; as long as it's her, that's enough.
"That's true. In his eyes, the person he truly loves is perfect no matter what."
Jiang Susu suddenly remembered Shen Shiyan's words: the two of them were not a good match.
At the time, she didn't understand why Shen Shiyan would evaluate her that way; it turned out it was because she had never liked him.
When you don't like someone, you'll find them unpleasant no matter what you look at.
Fortunately, she overheard Shen Shiyan's words that night; otherwise, she would probably still be following behind Shen Shiyan now.
Even though people are already annoyed with her, she still finds it enjoyable and considers it a very happy thing.
Seeing that Jiang Susu's expression was a little off, Shang Yanxing guessed that she might have been thinking about something unpleasant, so he changed the subject, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."
“Okay,” Jiang Susu said.
She stopped thinking about it and prepared to rest.
