Chapter 77: A Day Off, An Unexpected Call
Last nights scene made its way into Su Wans mind just like a movie being replayed.
The residuals of the flaming heat seemed to remain on her skin and the mans gentle lovers prattle still echoed in her ears.
In a flash, Su Wans face blushed like a red apple. She had to admit that Jiang Xuecheng had considered her feelings last night, but who on earth said it wouldnt hurt?
Jiang Xuecheng, youre a big liar!
She felt the pain throughout her body and her bones felt like they were falling apart, like she had been run over by a car.
She still had to go to work today!
Wan Wan, youre awake?
The familiar deep male voice echoed into her ears with a sense of happiness. He was obviously in good mood.
Su Wan turned her head and saw Jiang Xuecheng beside her. A perfect smile glowed on his handsome face and his whole body emitted a feeling of joy and relaxation.
Why was his condition and hers completely different? This was not fair!
Wan Wan, are you all right?
Su Wan angrily darted him a look. Her lips curved downwards. Dont speak. When you do, I feel uncomfortable.
As she said that, she swiftly fled the room with all her might.
This was too awkward! She couldnt stay put in this house any longer, not even for another second!
When she stayed here, the previous nights scene would automatically replay in her mind.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Su Wan still had not walked out of yesterdays phobia. She regretted so much. If she had known earlier, she wouldnt have washed the strawberries!
She put her head down sullenly and walked slowly toward the living hall. That big bad wolf was waiting for her in the living hall.
Wan Wan, come and have breakfast.
Su Wans eyes swept across Jiang Xuechengs handsome face. He was smiling and he looked nave and harmless.
Su Wan knew she couldnt be angry with a smiling person.
Slowly, she walked over and picked the farthest place from Jiang Xuecheng before she sat down.
A bowl of lily bulbs and Jobs tears congee, a plate of milk-flavored hotcakes, and black glutinous rice cakes sat on the table. The food was hot and fragrant and her mood instantly turned for the better.
Su Wan took the lily bulbs and Jobs tears congee and ate it silently.
Jiang Xuecheng knew Su Wan was ignoring him. He actually hadnt meant to break his promise but Su Wan was too attractive, cough cough
Wan Wan, I woke up early to cook todays congee. How does it taste?
Su Wan was eating the congee and took two bites of the black glutinous rice cake. Jiang Xuecheng was finally more pleasing to the eye.
Its okay.
Su Wan placed the empty congee bowl down on the table. Although she saluted Jiang Xuechengs excellent culinary skills, she could only give a moderate comment after last nights incident.
There was a light smile in Jiang Xuechengs eyes. Su Wan seemed to hate him less compared to just now.
Jiang Xuecheng was a person who would reach for a yard after taking an inch. He walked quickly toward Su Wan with his eyes as bright as stars.
Wan Wan, how about letting me comb your hair today?
Su Wan shot Jiang Xuecheng a skeptical look. You comb my hair for me? You dont even know how to tie a ponytail, do you?
It would be difficult to manage if a girls hair was too long. Su Wans hair fell to a little above her waist. Sometimes, Su Wan would think it was a waste of time to tie her hair and would go out with her long hair down.
When Su Wan did not decline, Jiang Xuecheng took it that Su Wan had agreed. He laughed arrogantly and said, How could I be unable to handle such a simple task?
Then, Jiang Xuecheng ran into the room to get a carved fine-tooth ivory comb. He came back with the tool very quickly, so Su Wan sat down quietly to become his guinea pig.
Jiang Xuecheng earnestly brought her thick, black hair up and carefully combed it downward.
Su Wan bit her lips. Although she couldnt see Jiang Xuechengs face now, she could feel the mans carefulness and tenderness from his gentle strokes.
Jiang Xuecheng slowly combed Su Wans hair and the anger slowly diminished without her realizing.
She had no stand to blame him. After all, they were legal husband and wife, werent they?
Jiang Xuecheng had completed his task while Su Wan was thinking. He had tied Su Wans hair, using a hair tie, into a high ponytail.
Done!
Jiang Xuecheng smiled. He stood up and reported to Su Wan gently.
Su Wan raised her brows and started to examine Jiang Xuechengs work in the mirror. The girl in the mirror had her black hair tidily tied up and she looked charming.
She had never tied a high ponytail before but looking at herself today, the effect of a high ponytail was quite good. It made Su Wan look youthful and full of enthusiasm.
I cant believe youre so good at this.
Su Wan looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. Then, she walked toward the door, about to get her bag and depart.
Just as Su Wan was opening the door, Jiang Xuecheng called out to her.
Wan Wan, are you going to work? I called the office this morning and told them that you werent feeling well and would like to take a day off.
Upon hearing this, Su Wan turned around in surprise but saw Jiang Xuecheng standing calmly. His eyes which were as dark as the night were smiling.
Su Wan was touched at the thought of Jiang Xuecheng making the arrangement for her but very quickly, she thought of another matter.
Her brows were raised and she walked toward the back of Jiang Xuecheng. She couldnt help but ask, Do the people at Long Teng International know youre my husband?
Arent you willing to let people know youre my wife?
Jiang Xuecheng then sat down and stretched out his right hand to grab a book from the bookshelf. He then leisurely flipped to the first page of the book.
Su Wan shook her head and her face was somewhat worried. I do not wish to let the Su and Gu family know at the moment. Im afraid theyll think of a countermeasure.
She wanted to take advantage of the Su family not knowing she was Jiang Xuechengs wife to strike back in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuecheng laughed softly. What if they know?
He could hear the worry in her words. A flash of light could be seen in his eyes and with a soft sigh, he put the book in his hand down and brushed Su Wans bangs.
Why do you still worry? Let your husband deal with this.
Su Wan bit her lips but her thoughts were still anxious. Hence, Jiang Xuecheng patiently explained, Only the senior management of Long Teng International know about our marriage. Dont worry. To keep their job, they definitely wont spill the beans.
Su Wan relaxed and she felt lighter. When he saw that she had recollected her emotions, he drove to the Di Chen Group headquarters.
Just a while after Jiang Xuecheng left, Su Wans mobile phone rang
