Su Wan did not know when Jiang Xuecheng arrived. He was wearing a casual suit without a necktie with a straight grey shirt.
Jiang Xuecheng stood beside Su Wan, looking at her with his eyes down.
Su Wan felt a sensation in her nose. She didnât wish to cry at first but when she saw Jiang Xuecheng by her side, her eyes were teary. Luckily, in S City, he was still by her side.
Su Wan stood up and dashed into his embrace, not wanting him to see her tears. She nestled against the manâs thick shoulders and her voice was soft and weak.
âLet me lean on you for a while, just a little while.â
Jiang Xuecheng was stunned. He rarely saw Su Wan in this state. He pursed his lips and although he enjoyed Su Wan taking the initiative, he didnât like the emotional storm she was currently facing.
Such indifferent sorrow, was like a suffocating fish which lacks oxygen.
Jiang Xuecheng fixed his eyes on Su Wan, with obvious tender love in his black eyes. âDid the Su family members bully you?â
Jiang Xuecheng wrapped his arms around Su Wanâs neck and his gentle voice turned cold and hard.
âI said to bring me along so you donât have to do anything. Iâll help you bully them.â
Su Wan turned tears into smiles. She parted from Jiang Xuechengâs shoulders and smiled. âYou...I donât know if I should call you narcissistic or self-confident.â
This presumptuous sentence seemed natural and proper when it came from Jiang Xuecheng and it even made one believe in his capability.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw that Su Wan had smiled, he couldnât help stretching his hand to tap on her nose. âWan Wan, letâs go since your mood is better now.â
When Su Wan nodded, Jiang Xuecheng opened the door for Su Wan. âWan Wan, come on!â
He stood very near Su Wan and she could smell his clean and cool breath. Su Wan blushed and thought she couldnât resist the gentleness that flowed naturally from his face.
It was wonderful to have him by her side...
Su Wan was silent. She got into the co-driverâs seat quickly.
Jiang Xuecheng walked to the other side of his car and got up to the driverâs seat. Su Wan moved her body toward him and pulled his seatbelt as she carefully buckled it for Jiang Xuecheng.
Seeing Su Wan seriously at work, Jiang Xuecheng smiled and teased, âWan Wan, you taking the initiative today has overwhelmed me.â
Su Wan rolled her eyes and returned to the co-driverâs seat. Then, she slowly buckled her own seatbelt.
âHey, donât say it as if I normally treat you badly.â
Jiang Xuecheng turned his head sideways and his eyes followed Su Wanâs hand gestures. Then, he spoke.
âIsnât it? When we just got married, you treated me badly. You resisted performing your duty as a wife and until now, youâre still unwilling.â
Jiang Xuechengâs teasing entered her ears and she was taken aback. There was a burning sensation on her beautiful face, like white jade stained with rouge.
She wished she could pretend she didnât understand what he meant.
How could this wolf say such things in broad day light while keeping a straight face?
Watching his serious expression, she couldnât sense a bit of mischief in him. She was impressed!
Su Wan rejoiced in her heart that there were no others in the car or she would be embarrassed...
She coughed softly and diverted from the topic. âAlright, alright, Iâll treat you better next time. Where are you bringing me to eat, Xuecheng?â
Jiang Xuecheng had good culinary skills and Su Wan thought many of the chefs outside could not compare to her husbandâs culinary skill.
They hardly went out to eat. When both of them were free, Jiang Xuecheng would cook at home while Su Wan would stand by his side to wash the vegetables and assist Jiang Xuecheng.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows and smiled charmingly.
âGolden Sand Entertainment City at Glazed Street.â
Su Wan was slightly surprised. That was the high-end entertainment club where she and her high schoolmates had their gathering.
She had thought Jiang Xuecheng would bring her to a restaurant. This was beyond her expectation.
âYouâre not bringing me to see your friend, are you?â
Su Wan thought for a while. Since they were going to an entertainment club and Jiang Xuecheng did not have the habit of singing and drinking, it must be a date with friends.
What she was certain about was that his friend must be his peer. Who would bring the elderly to an entertainment club? At least, Su Wan would not do this.
While Jiang Xuecheng turned the steering wheel, he replied to Su Wanâs question, âItâs Tang Yifeng. He forced me out on a dinner date with him and he says to bring you.â
Tang Yifeng?
Hearing the unfamiliar name, Su Wan started thinking. She couldnât recall who that person was at first.
After putting in some effort in recalling, an image of a handsome young man wearing gold framed glasses appeared in her mind.
When the man did not smile, he looked gentle. When he smiled, he had the same temperament as Lu Qingyu. At first glance, he looked like a playboy who would trick little girls.
âOh, is he the polished scoundrel who stood beside you when I had my blind date?â
Jiang Xuecheng who was driving heard Su Wanâs comment about his friend and he laughed out loud unconsciously.
Jiang Xuecheng mischievously raised his brows and smiled faintly. âYou called Tang Yifeng a polished scoundrel? Hmmm, this title is appropriate. Iâll tell him later.â
That sentence escaped from Su Wanâs lips just now and had not carefully thought it through. When she realized she had belittled Jiang Xuechengâs friend, Su Wan smiled and begged softly.
âDonât. Iâve only seen Tang Yifeng once and what I said was all bullsh*t. Please donât take it seriously and please donât tell him that. Itâll be hurtful...â
âWan Wan, what benefits do I get if I donât tell him?â
Jiang Xuecheng shrugged and his cold eyes had a sense of evilness. âWhy donât you tell me what your impression of me is if Tang Yifeng is a polished scoundrel?â
Su Wan darted him a careful look and with a face of awkwardness, she asked, âDo you want to hear the truth or a fake one?â
Su Wan was not very natural and Jiang Xuecheng was more curious. âOf course I want to hear the truth!â
âYouâre the one who requested to hear it. After hearing, donât blame me for having a poisonous mouth.â
Su Wan looked directly into Jiang Xuechengâs eyes. She cleared her throat and with a smile which was too profound to be understood, she said word by word, âYou are a standard beast in human clothing!â
