Chapter 43: I Am Currently Your Spouse, Shouldn’t You Take Full Responsibility For Me?
Reborn as My Love Rival's Wife
Su Jianâs persistence bore fruitâThe centremost lady at the reception desk brought him to the floor where the presidentâs office resided.
However, under the strict interrogation of An Yizeâs chief secretary Linda, he had no choice but to reveal his identity.
âUh, Iâm actually your president Anâsâ¦spouse, specially here to bring him lunch.â Facing the refined and intelligent beauty, Linda, Su Jian honestly revealed his identity. At the same time, he was silently envious of his spouseâs luck with girls.
The secretaries in president Anâs office were all surprised. Linda was the fastest to react, immediately smiling gently and decently. âHello maâam, the president is currently discussing some work with director Ji. Do you wish to wait orâ¦â
Director Ji? Gay friend Ji? Su Jian said hurriedly, âNo worries, I will wait!â
Linda smiled, âThen, maâam, please take a rest over here first.â
Su Jian nodded his head. Linda asked about what Su Jian liked, then she personally made a cup of tea for Su Jian.
Su Jian picked up the cup of tea and acted in a dignified manner. However, he felt forced in his heart. He silently thought: Actually, what I want to drink the most right now is coke. But facing this high-level beauty, a cup of tea seems to add more pointsâ¦.
Fiddling with the cupâs lid, the presidentâs wife started his cordial talk with the presidentâs secretary. The presidentâs wife first expressed his kind greeting to the secretaries, then she asked in detail about the secretariesâ working conditions. The presidentâs wife showed great concern for the secretaries and spoke highly of the secretariesâ contribution to the president and the companyâs development. The presidentâs wife gave her heartfelt thanks to the secretaries for their many years of concern and dedication for the presidentâs work development and health. The presidentâs wife expressed that, with the secretariesâ assistance, the presidentâs working condition and the company would definitely improve to greater heights.
As the presidentâs wife asked, the presidentâs secretary explained some of the basic work that the president did. Both parties also exchanged views about the president that everyone had in common. Their discussion was carried out in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. Both parties reached a consensus that it would be better if the president smiled more, and that boiled, sliced meat was the most delicious type of food.
Thus, when Ji Mingfei pushed open the door of the presidentâs office and came out, what he saw was Su Jian chatting enjoyably with the presidentâs secretaries and assistants.
âSister-in-law?â Ji Mingfei was stunned. At the same time, he looked instinctively at An Yize who was in the room, looking down at his work. As for An Yize who had heard his addressing, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed and he stood up quickly.
When president An walked out, what he saw was an unexpected scene: his wife who should have been obediently resting at home, had tied up her hair into a ponytail. Wearing a small pink dress, she was currently sitting cross-legged on a mat on the floor. Her hair was slightly messy and her face was flushed. Holding onto the CPU, she was talking to someone while helping her fix her computer.
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
As he heard the secretaries addressing âpresidentâ respectfully, Su Jian turned around as well, using his hands to wipe off the sweat on his face along the way.
Just now, he was having a very enjoyable chat with the beautiful secretary. Coincidentally, another beautyâs computer had a small problem. He ignored the otherâs decline and earnestly requested to help her fix her computer. He himself had learned the computer. In the past, while he was still in school, in order to gain likes from girls, he would earnestly help them fix their computers. However, no matter how many computers he fixed, he never gained any girls, making him feel very disheartened. Now that a beauty needed help, he went up to help the beauty instinctively.
An Yizeâs eyebrows involuntarily twitched when he saw the filth staining Su Jianâs face when he wiped it with his hand. âJian Jian? Why are you here?â
Coincidentally, he had just finished his job. After helping the beauty fix the computer casing, he stood up and patted himself twice. His round eyes carefully observed An Yize. When he saw that An Yizeâs condition seemed to be fine, he quickly brought out the thermal lunch box. âIâm here to deliver your food!â
He looked at the large thermal lunch box in front of him, then he looked at the earnest yet dirty small face. An Yize was momentarily silent. By their side, Ji Mingfei timely said, âHello sister-in-law, we meet again!â
âHello gay⦠Mr. Ji!â Su Jian returned his greeting. When he saw Ji Mingfei looking at the thermal lunch box, he could only politely carry on his greeting. âHave you eaten?â
âHaha, not yet. But I still have something to do, so I need to finish that first.â After he finished speaking, he glanced at An Yize with a smile. Then, he said to Su Jian, âSister-in-law, I will head back to work.â
âOh, okay!â
Director Ji left while all the secretaries and assistants had also gone back to their seats silently long ago and started working earnestly without caring about anything else. In an instant, only An Yize and Su Jian were left standing in front of the door, looking at each other.
Finally, president An quietly sighed. He held Su Jianâs hand and pulled him into his office.
While Su Jian obediently let himself be pulled, he looked around curiously. An Yizeâs office is indeed luxurious. Look at the huge french window, look at the leather sofa that you can tell is expensive in one look, look at the stylish office table, and look at the painting that will give you streams of consciousness!
An Yize placed the thermal lunch box onto the table. Turning around, he was slightly stunned when he saw that Su Jian looked different from her usual self: her hair was up in a ponytail and he could tell that her delicate face had no makeup on with just one glance. But when he saw the dirt on Su Jianâs face, he came back to his senses. He took out his handkerchief and helped the other person wipe away the dirt. He said to Su Jian, âThereâs a shower room inside. Go in and take a bath first.â
Your mom, this clean freak is so unbearable! This surnamed An guy, are you still a man! Does your mom know that you love cleanliness so much? Su Jian silently cursed in his heart, but he didnât dare to rebuke him, because he saw the stains on An Yizeâs handkerchief.
Su Jian went into the shower room obediently. He removed his clothes rapidly and quickly bathed himself. Then, he suddenly realised a very important problem: Your mom, I donât have a change of clothes! I could wear the clothes I had just removed, but that clean freak An will definitely not allow me to!
After deliberating for a while, Su Jian had no choice but to wrap himself with a bath towel before coming out of the shower room.
An Yize looked up when he heard the door opening: ââ¦â¦â
Su Jian held the towel. With his wet hair hanging loosely, he walked barefooted towards An Yize. âHey, do you have any clothes? Lend me one first!â
An Yizeâs throat moved. His sight faintly moved from the bare collarbone to underneath the bath towel.
Su Jian felt a little embarrassed. He clarified unhappily, âIâve worn my undergarments!â Those are worn inside anyway and arenât dirtied. After thinking so just now, he had then worn those important pieces of clothing.
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
He quietly stood up and silently walked into the lounge in the office. After a while, An Yize took a white shirt out.
Su Jian lifted his hand, wanting to remove the towel to change into the shirt. However, when he noticed An Yizeâs deep stare, he suddenly realized what he was doing. Thus, he took the shirt and entered the lounge.
An Yize took the chance and went out. He quietly ordered chief secretary Linda to buy a set of inner and outerwear of Su Jianâs size immediately.
The chief secretary acted according to the orders immediately. Her expression was righteous and respectful, obedient and obeying.
However, once she entered the lift, the refined and intelligent chief secretary had some chaotic thoughts: The two of them only entered for a short while, his majestyâs speed seems a bit too fastâ¦.
After changing into An Yizeâs shirt, Su Jian came out. An Yize looked up and his throat involuntarily clenched once again. His shirt looked much bigger when it was worn by this little girl, hanging down till her thighs. Under the shirt were two straight slender legsâ¦.
An Yize unconsciously lifted his hand to hold his slightly itchy nose.
âCome here.â An Yize forced himself to look at Su Jianâs face when he saw the white shirt getting wet because of her wet hair. It was becoming slightly transparent and started to reveal what was underneath the shirt. However, his voice still had a trace of hoarseness that was mixed in unconsciously.
Su Jian walked barefooted towards the sofa that An Yize was sitting on. He straightened his leg naturally, overlapping his other leg onto the coffee table in front of him.
An Yize had intended on saying something, but he was caught off guard by the little girlâs bold posture and instantly forgot what he wanted to say. ââ¦â¦â
Usually at home, he had met An Yize too many times when he came out of the bathroom with wet hair while in his pajamas. Thus, Su Jian was already used to it. When he saw An Yize staring at him with deep eyes, he didnât think much about it and only asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
An Yize coughed lightly. âWhy are you not blowing your hair dry again?â
Su Jianâs mood was good when he saw An Yize speaking to himself normally, not ignoring him coldly like this morning. Thus, he spoke less reservedly and laughed. âI am currently your spouse, shouldnât you take full responsibility for me? Youâre also responsible for my hair!â
An Yizeâs eyes deepened: âWhere else am I responsible for?â
With a smile, Su Jian said, âOnly my hair.â
A trace of smile appeared in An Yizeâs eye as well. Accepting his fate, he went into the shower room and took out the hairdryer to help Su Jian blow his hair.
Su Jian sat obediently to let him blow his hair. Then, his sight happened to land onto the thermal lunch box on the table. He exclaimed, âYou have not eaten yet!â After he finished speaking, he pushed away An Yizeâs hand and went to carry the box over.
Although the office floor was well-cleaned, when he saw Su Jian running around barefooted, An Yize still furrowed his eyebrows. Pondering for a moment, he stood up and went to order his assistant to go and buy a pair of female slippers immediately.
When he came back, Su Jian pushed the lunch box towards him. âQuickly eat up!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
An Yize opened the lunch box. âWhy did you suddenly think of sending me lunch?â
Su Jian did not want to admit that he was here to apologize, so he said, âArenât we currently acting like a loving couple? Sending you lunch is very normal!â
An Yize: ââ¦Good performance, continue putting in more effort.â
Whoâs going to put in more effort for you? Su Jian silently cursed. When he saw An Yize picking up the chopsticks to eat, he couldnât control himself and asked, âDoes it taste good?â
An Yize turned around to look at him. âWhat answer would you like to hear?â
Su Jian stared at him. âThere are other answers?â
An Yize couldnât help but raise his lips, his voice turning gentler as well. âItâs good.â
Su Jian was satisfied. Shaking his feet, he urged, âThen eat faster! It will turn cold soon!â
Seeing An Yize eating focusedly, Su Jianâs mood was great. Thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, âYize, what do you like to eat?â
An Yize lifted his head to look at him.
Su Jian continued, âAlthough Uncle Wang told me a few, I still felt that I should ask you personally. After all, we need to act as a loving couple. This is something I should know.â
However, when An Yize heard his words, he suddenly felt that the tasty food in his mouth had somehow turned bad.
After a moment of silence, president An said, âYou should discover this yourself.â
This is clearly accusing me for not being dedicated to my work! Su Jian was not convinced. âThen do you know what I like to eat?
âI know.â Without hesitation, An Yize said a long list of vegetables, fruit, and food names.
Su Jian: ââ¦â¦â
âHow did you know?â Su Jian asked after recovering from his shock.
An Yize: âBecause Iâm your husband.â
Although Su Jian put up an unwilling to admit defeat expression, his heart had a strange sense of warmth.
Thus, the question that came after was asked more gently. âWere you tired because of me last night?â
An Yize stiffened. He turned around and look at him silently.
Su Jian saw that he had obvious eye bags under his eyes. He carefully asked, âYou really didnât sleep for the whole night?â
An Yizeâs expression seemed to have worsened. He didnât say anything.
Su Jian felt bad in his heart. He said honestly, âIâm sorry, I didnât know I would do that when Iâm drunkâ¦â¦â
An Yize suddenly asked, âDo what when youâre drunk?â
Su Jian felt embarrassed. ââ¦Actually, I have completely forgotten.â
Su Jian felt that after he finished his sentence, An Yizeâs expression seemed to have worsened further.
After a moment of silence, An Yize said, âYou are not allowed to drink again in the future!â
âWhy?â Su Jian was a little unhappy.
An Yize looked at him faintly. âYour drunken behavior is bad.â
Su Jian was curious now: âJust what did I do last night?â He remembered that during his university days, when he had broken up with his girlfriend who he had dated for less than two days, he felt hurt. So he went out with his dorm brothers to have some alcohol to forget about his troubles. Afterwards, a few of his brothers told him that when he was drunk, he mistook one of the dorm brothers as his girlfriend. He hugged him, crying and shouting that he wouldnât break up. He had even bitten that personâs face!
As he thought of that, Su Jian turned silent in horror: Donât tell me I did that to An Yize last night? Then wouldnât An Yize try to bite me back! He quickly studied An Yizeâs face carefully. Only after seeing that presidentâs An face was still bright, clean, and free of any teeth marks did Su Jian secretly breathe out a sigh of relief.
However, An Yize did not answer his question. He only said, âYour alcohol tolerance is very low and will get drunk easily. What will you do if you get drunk and meet someone bad?â
Su Jian replied smoothly. âDonât I have you?â
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
Although he didnât know why, Su Jian felt that An Yizeâs expression seemed to have improved.
Su Jian continued, âIf youâre drunk, I will also take care of you!â I wonât be as petty as you!
An Yize calmly said, âI was never drunk.â
Su Jian choked when he heard that. Unwilling to admit defeat, he thought: Whatâs so great about that! I, your father, also had great alcohol tolerance back then! He considered trying to make An Yize drunk. He felt that if An Yize was drunk, his drunken act might actually be much more terrible than his. For example, he might even do a Hula dance.
Su Jian silently imagined what An Yize would look like doing a Hula dance. Meanwhile, An Yize had quietly finished the lunch that he had brought over.
When Su Jian came back to his senses, he noticed that the lunch box was completely empty. He was a little surprised as well as a little pleased. Just when he wanted to praise his own cooking, his stomach suddenly growled with a âguguâ.
An Yize paused for a moment, his eyebrows furrowing. âWhatâs wrong, you havenât had your lunch?â
Su Jian replied, âI wasnât that hungry earlier, so I didnât eat.â However, after watching you eat so pleasantly, Iâm suddenly a little hungry.
An Yize said instantly, âThen go and eat now.â
Su Jianâs eyes lit up. âDoes your company have a staff canteen?â
An Yize replied with knitted eyebrows, âIt doesâ¦â
Su Jian asked, âThen can I eat there?â
An Yize answered, ââ¦Yes.â
â¦â¦
Su Jian changed into the clothes that Linda had bought and wore the shoes that he had worn earlier. After tidying his hair, he followed An Yize into the lift and headed down.
Noticing that An Yize had been holding his hand this entire time, Su Jian struggled a bit. âWhy do you keep holding my hand? Itâs not like I canât walk on my own!â
An Yize: âBecause Iâm your spouse, I should take full responsibility for you.â
Su Jian: ââ¦â¦â
An Yize held Su Jianâs hand and walked towards the canteen. Along the way, the employees greeted him. At the same time, they secretly sized up the person beside him. When An Yize and Su Jian had walked far enough, they excitedly started gossiping quietly.
Sadly, in a moment of excitement, an unlucky employee accidentally spoke too loudly and exceeded the safe volume. Thus, Su Jian could faintly hear an excited voice. âHey, whoâs that person beside his majesty? Is she his majestyâs daughter? His Majestyâs daughter is already so big?â
Su Jian knew without saying who this âhis majestyâ was. Su Jian felt awkward when he heard the conversation. However, when he saw An Yizeâs expression, he could not help but feel happy.
Su Jian smiled and called sweetly, âUncle An, what kind of good food do you have here?â
An Yize: ââ¦â¦â
Authorâs notes: I saw some of you saying that the progress is slow. However, this author is also helpless! Although the president is ready, with Jian Jian like this, other than slowly adapting, there is no other way! President is such a poor thing!
In order to compensate everyone, this author has completed a very progressive extra:
President An and Jian Jian finally had their great life event.
Su Jian looked at the pregnancy test kit in despair and mourned, âYize, Iâm pregnant!â
President An comforted him gently. âDonât be upset, come here. I prefer a daughter more. Baby, what about you?â
Su Jian turned his body around and said dazedly, âAn Yize, your daughter is crying. Quickly get up and feed her!â
President An said, âJian Jian, letâs have another child!â
Jian Jian said, âYize, just now, our sonâs teacher just called. He said that our son had pulled another studentâs pants, making that person cry. The teacher has asked us parents to go to school. As a father, this is a responsibility you cannot avoid! I wonât be sending you off!â
