When Jiang Jingchuan woke up the next morning, Su Yan was already dressed and sitting in front of the dressing table choosing jewellery. Jiang Jingchuan went directly to the restroom.
The two people didnt converse.
When he came out, Su Yan was still sitting blankly in the bedroom. It seemed as if she wanted to say something to him.
Jiang Jingchuan murmured in his deep voice while buttoning his shirt: Something on your mind?
Su Yan thought inwardly: she not only wanted to go to his workplace to look but also wanted to go to banquet together with him. While his workplace may hint at his financial resources, only a banquet would confirm his social status. Frittering away her time was not something she liked to do. She must first get to know the ins and outs of Jiang Jingchuan.
After coming to a decision, she walked to him with a smile, naturally straightened his collar and carelessly pretended to say: Come to think of it, I am ashamed husband. For the sake of our household, husband, you work tirelessly every day. I do not even share a bit of responsibility with you. Tsk, such shamelessness.
These kinds of words came easily to Su Yan. Though Jiang Jingchuan couldnt adjust to her change in manner, his heart still felt somewhat joyful. His face that was formerly stretched taut slowly relaxed.
He coughed lightly and his voice softened, Its nothing.
Su Yan felt satisfied with this warm atmosphere. She lifted her eyes and stared at Jiang Jingchuan before softly saying: Before, I was wrong. As your wife, one has to share one or two responsibilities. If in future you need me to attend any occasion, I will definitely go.
Jiang Jingchuan was stupefied. He looked at Su Yan with a strange expression. In this half a year he thought that he had roughly understood her temperament. Despite Su Yans ordinary background owing to her excellent skills and beautiful appearance the Su Family practically gave their all to raise her. As a result, her temperament was extremely arrogant. Even his pampered and spoiled sister dare not provoke Su Yan to her face.
He understood that Su Yan, except for her own family members and his grandparents, didnt even spare others a glance. Indeed, as Mrs. Jiang, she didnt need to cater to others; yet, these two days, Su Yan had overturned everything Jiang Jingchuan knew about her. He couldnt help but ask: What happened to you?
Su Yan was dumbfounded at first but quickly understood what Jiang Jingchuan meant. Certainly, these two peoples relationship wasnt particularly good. How she acted now as compared to how she had before were too different. Dont know how many people would believe her about being reincarnated in anothers corpse, but she wasnt stupid or muddleheaded enough to be candid. Regardless, there must be some doubts in Jiang Jinchauns heart. Su Yans mind turned quickly. She immediately smiled as if nothing had happened, Merely straightened out my thinking regarding a few matters.
Correct she didnt need to explain.
Whether her attitude was good or bad, it didnt require her to explain it to others. Merely saying a few words were fine. Some matters, the more you explain, the more likely you are to expose the horses leg[1].
1. To expose a horses leg It is a Chinese saying meaning to inadvertently expose a secret.
Jiang Jingchuan accepted her answer. He gave a profound glance to Su Yan and thought that she had finally understood her responsibilities. Although he didnt use to come into contact with Su Yan much, he was aware that she was not only proud and aloof but also had a bit of an ego. The old and young[2] of the Su Family had always flattered her and since she was raised in such a way, it was natural to have an arrogant disposition. He did not dislike marrying Su Yan, but that did not mean that he agreed with his grandfather and grandmothers vision. Before getting married, he thought that, since she had consented to be Mrs. Jiang, he would wholeheartedly and sincerely treat her as his wife even if he didnt like her.
2. Old and Young Every member of the Su Yans Family including the old people as well as the younger generation.
It was obvious that Su Yan didnt share his sentiments, but he didnt feel disappointed. Although she possessed the title of Mrs. Jiang, she clearly didnt want to invest in the relevant responsibilities. Jiang Jingchuan didnt blame her, because he was no better than her. He thought that there would inevitably be a day when their relationship would shatter and collapse. It was only a matter of time.
In a million years he never wouldve imagined that she would take the initiative to reconcile with him.
It was impossible for Jiang Jingchuan to not have any views on Su Yan, its just that he was too busy. His relationship with Su Yan wasnt good. Whenever they met, they did not talk much. As a result, in his heart, this wife was not essential.
Su Yan tried her best to recall until she finally remembered who he was talking about. As a matter of fact, even if he and that Young Lady Huang had something between them, she wouldnt pay any attention to it at all at least not now. But since he explained his involvement to her in this way, Jiang Jingchuan must be telling the truth.
Since he was like this, her expression must show some understanding, right?
Dont men like to see women being moved by them?
Su Yans expression was extremely gentle. She reached out her hands to embrace Jiang Jingchuans waist. Su Yan then rested her face on his chest. Hearing his heart beating so fast, she smiled faintly. She slightly loosened her hold to look up at him and whispered, En. I understand. Yesterday my mood indeed was not very good. But I know that you are not that kind of person.
Jiang Jingchuans body that was still stretched tautly relaxed at once. He didnt hesitate to embrace her back.
That morning, after they finished eating breakfast, Su Yan escorted him to the car just like yesterday and stood till his car was out of sight. She then turned to go back inside the villa.
Jiang Jingchuan sat on the car, feeling delighted for no reason.
At this moment, his mobile phone rang. It was his close friend Sui Sheng calling.
Just as he picked up, Sui Sheng loudly said, The day after tomorrow is Master Chens birthday banquet, are you going?
En.
It was important to go. Though Master Chen had retired, he was still Jiang Jingchuans superior and had an enormous influence. He couldnt help paying attention to it.
I dont have a female companion for that day. Anyway, I am tired of them. Lets just go together.
A faint smile appeared on Jiang Jingchuans face, Not my problem: I have a female companion.
F*ck! Is the Iron tree in bloom?[3] Who? That Huang Yu Wei, or Young Lady Wang? Interested, Sui Sheng began to meticulously question Jiang Jingchuan.
3. Iron tree in Blossom A Chinese Idiom meaning an extremely rare occurrence.
No. Jiang Jingchuan frowned slightly, Su Yan will go with me.
Huhwha?! What was he talking about? Su Yan??
In a time span of less than a day, the entire circle knew that Jiang Jingchuan was taking his wife to Master Chens birthday banquet.
