Because she was tired, Jiang Susu fell asleep after Shang Yanxing left.
She didn't wake up until lunchtime.
Moreover, it was Shang Yanxing who woke her up.
As soon as Jiang Susu opened her eyes, she saw Shang Yanxing beside her bed.
Jiang Susu subconsciously wrapped herself tighter in the blanket, the action was very natural, like a conditioned reflex.
Shang Yanxing noticed Jiang Susu's little actions, but he simply said, "It's already noon, Madam should get up and eat, otherwise she'll be hungry soon."
Jiang Susu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Afterwards, Jiang Susu prepared to get out of bed, but after being fussed over by Shang Yanxing, she found it difficult to move.
Shang Yanxing noticed Jiang Susu's unusual behavior and bent down to pick her up.
"What...what are you doing? I can walk by myself."
Shang Yanxing's sudden action startled Jiang Susu.
He looked down at the little woman in his arms and smiled slightly. "Isn't Madam feeling unwell? It's all my fault, so let me carry Madam out."
Upon hearing Shang Yanxing's words, Jiang Susu buried her head in Shang Yanxing's arms in embarrassment.
"You... Shang Yanxing, you've gone too far!" How could this man say such a thing?
The traditional inkstone shops were definitely not like this.
Shang Yanxing carried Jiang Susu out of the room and placed her on a chair in the rest area.
Lunch was prepared on the table.
Shang Yanxing opened the lunchbox and, seeing Jiang Susu watching his movements, said, "Madam, you must be starving after working so hard today."
Jiang Susu saw the opened box of roast duck and nodded eagerly, "Mmm, I'm starving."
Shang Yanxing smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Madam. We'll be ready to eat soon."
He placed a box of food in front of Jiang Susu, then picked up a piece of roast duck for her, saying, "Madam, please eat more to replenish your energy."
Jiang Susu was so hungry that she was focused on eating and didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what Shang Yanxing said.
Seeing Jiang Susu enjoying her meal, Shang Yanxing also had a better appetite.
He usually finds these things tasteless when he eats alone, but today, with this little woman here, it's all very different.
Seeing Jiang Susu wolfing down her food, Shang Yanxing reminded her, "Madam, eat slowly. It's all yours. I won't take it from you."
He felt that with this little woman around, even the office no longer felt so cold.
Jiang Susu kept her head down as she ate, but Shang Yanxing's gaze rarely left her.
After they finished eating, Shang Yanxing tidied up a bit.
"Shang Yanxing, didn't you ask me to come and help you? But half a day has passed, and you haven't let me do anything." Is being his secretary really that easy?
"Nothing? Madam was just at her desk..."
Shang Yanxing's words reminded her of what the two of them had done on the desk and sofa that morning.
Jiang Susu's face flushed instantly, and she stopped him, saying, "Shang Yanxing, don't say anymore..."
Why does this man always like to tease her like that?
"Madam won't let me say anything more. I don't know who it was, but they said I was sick and couldn't perform in that area. If it weren't for Madam, I wouldn't be so eager to prove myself. And now Madam is angry. Is that my fault?"
Shang Yanxing looked very aggrieved, leaving Jiang Susu speechless for a moment.
"I'm also very upset that Madam has misunderstood me like this, so I acted impulsively and did that. Madam, you wouldn't really be angry about this, would you?"
Shang Yanxing became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, prompting Jiang Susu to reflect on whether she had done something wrong.
"I...I'm not angry. It was definitely my fault. I shouldn't have said those things to you..."
At the Waterside Villa, Shang Yanxing's restraint made it hard for her not to be suspicious.
That's why he said those things.
"Never mind, I don't mean to blame you for this, I just hope you won't be angry with me."
He was just saying it; he didn't actually lose anything.
Jiang Susu shook her head. "I'm not angry with you." They were husband and wife, and they loved each other. It was normal for them to do things that couples do.
"It's good that Madam isn't angry."
He knew that his little girl was the kindest person and would definitely not be angry with him.
"If Madam is tired, she can go in and take a nap." This little woman has indeed been tired today, so she needs to rest more.
Jiang Susu glanced at the time; it was only one o'clock. There was no rush to go to work, so she thought she would go in and take a nap so she would have more energy for work in the afternoon.
"Okay, I'll go inside and rest for a while. Wake me up when I'm at work."
Shang Yanxing nodded. "Okay."
Then, Jiang Susu went inside.
...
Jiang Susu didn't wake up until 3 p.m.
She walked out of the lounge and saw Shang Yanxing reviewing documents.
"Is Madam awake?"
Jiang Susu asked somewhat shyly, "What time does your company start work?"
Shang Yanxing said calmly, "Two-thirty."
"2:30? Didn't I oversleep? Why didn't you wake me up?" She had clearly told this man to wake her up when he went to work.
"Madam, this is my company. Even if I let you sleep a little longer, who would dare to object? Have you forgotten that I am your husband? What's in my company is yours, so why are you being so reserved in your own company?"
He invited this young woman over just to keep him company; he didn't intend for her to work.
"I'm just worried that I won't be there when you need help." If it weren't for helping this man, she probably wouldn't have come today.
But after a whole day, she felt like she hadn't been able to help the man at all.
In the afternoon, Jiang Susu read for a while, ate some fruit, and didn't do anything else.
When they got off work, the two of them went home together.
She had specially worn a black skirt and shirt today to be this man's temporary secretary, but he didn't ask her to do anything.
Stepping off the stairs, Shang Yanxing took Jiang Susu's hand and walked outside.
But Jiang Susu kept trying to pull her hand away from Shang Yanxing's grasp.
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to hold hands like this? What if your company's people see us..." After all, she was just a temporary secretary at the moment.
Shang Yanxing stopped and looked at Jiang Susu with some helplessness. "Does Madam think I'm not presentable enough and have embarrassed her?"
This woman seems afraid of letting others know about their relationship, and she prefers to keep her distance from him in public.
This was something that gave him a real headache.
Jiang Susu shook her head, "I didn't mean that..."
How could Shangyanxing possibly be lacking in quality?
