Su Comforts Someone Again Three days later.
Su He arranged to meet with Jing Xuan.
During this period, she had been very busy, so much so that she had hardly been seen by anyone.
When Jing Xuan saw her, he teased her a few times: “Busy bee, you’ve finally got the time to see me?”
“Not knowing any better, one might think you’re off to run for national president with how busy you are.”
Su He: “…”
Seeing she didn’t respond, Jing Xuan asked again, “Tell me, what’s the matter?
You couldn’t say it over the phone and had to meet in person.”
“Jiang Yan is angry,” Su He said.
“What?” Jing Xuan was taken aback by her sudden statement: “What do you mean by that?
Why is he angry?”
Jiang Yan would hate to see her upset and wanted to give her the best the world could offer, so why would he be willing to be angry with her?
Then, Su He told her about her plan to return to Country F.
After listening to her, Jing Xuan said, “If it were me, I wouldn’t agree either.”
“Isn’t this just the typical long-distance relationship?”
Su He frowned.
In fact, she hadn’t thought that much about it, plus it wasn’t as though she wasn’t coming back.
If it were the old days, she wouldn’t have hesitated at all.
And Jing Xuan knew she had come to a realization; Jiang Yan’s place in her heart had become increasingly significant, or she wouldn’t have come to discuss this matter today.
According to her previous style, she wouldn’t care whether anyone agreed or not.
“So, what are you planning to do now?” asked Jing Xuan.
Su He shook her head; if she knew what to do, she wouldn’t have come to Jing Xuan for advice.
Jing Xuan spoke earnestly, “Baobao, let me tell you, long-distance marriage can be either a major or minor issue.
Emotions can easily become frayed and fade, especially since your relationship has just been established and is even more fragile.
What if someone takes advantage of the situation?
After all, your man is the dream lover of many young girls.”
Su He looked at her with a puzzled gaze, feeling that Jing Xuan was making rash statements.
She said, “No one managed to intrude in the past four years.
Has someone succeeded now?
If a relationship is so frail and easily disrupted, then maybe there’s no point in persevering.”
Jing Xuan was at a loss for words with her retort: “…”
It seemed to make sense, and she found herself unable to contradict it.
Su He continued, “Besides, I trust him.”
It was because of this trust that she had no concerns.
After all, she wasn’t the kind of woman who would give up her career to stay at home as a wife and mother after getting married.
At least, not for the time being; she wasn’t ready to give up a job she loved for the sake of their relationship.
…
At this moment, at the top floor of the DK Building.
These past few days, Jiang Feng could distinctly sense that the mood of the President Jiang seemed to be a little off.
The entire office was enveloped in a chilly atmosphere, making everyone tread on eggshells, fearful of triggering the wrath of their CEO.
At this time, Jiang Feng greatly envied Jiang Qi, who had been assigned to work at Jiang Group, if only because he didn’t have to feel incessantly anxious.
“Assistant Jiang, you’re with the president all day, do you have any insider info as to why the president is in a bad mood?”
As soon as the financial director came up to the top floor, he hurriedly pulled Jiang Feng aside to probe.
He was worried about accidentally stepping on a landmine when he reported to the president later.
Jiang Feng shook his head and replied with three words: “I don’t know.”
The financial director’s face changed: “How could you not know?”
Jiang Feng spoke very seriously: “Director Luo, I really don’t know.”
Suddenly, an idea struck the financial director: “The president couldn’t have had a fight with Mrs.
Jiang, could he?”
He was, after all, a married man and inclined to think along those lines.
And their president was the president of Jiang Group; President Jiang’s married status was hardly a secret.
With his reminder, Jiang Feng felt an epiphany.
These past few days, Master had been coming home very late, and there was even one night he didn’t come back at all, choosing to sleep in the office instead.
At that time, he just thought that the company had many things going on lately, so Master was too busy to come home, which wasn’t the first time this had happened.
But thinking it over carefully and considering Master’s mood these past two days, it was clear that something had gone wrong.
After all, no matter how busy with work, Master had never been in a bad mood before.
His mood these days has been unpredictable, so he must have had a conflict with Young Madam.
But that doesn’t seem right either; Master dotes on Young Madam so much, how could he bear to quarrel with her?
It seems like it’s a case of the person who tied the bell having to be the one to untie it!
Immediately, he sincerely looked at the Financial Director beside him and said, “Director Luo, you truly live up to the title of financial department’s head.
Um, I have something else to do, so you go on ahead and report to the president truthfully.”
After speaking, he turned around and left.
Financial Director: “Wait, Assistant Jiang, are you leaving just like that?
Aren’t you going to accompany me in?”
But the only response he got was Jiang Feng’s retreating figure…
On the other side, just after Su He sent Jing Xuan back to the Jing Family and was about to leave, she received a message from Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng: “Young Madam, please come to the company to see Master.
It seems he isn’t feeling very well.
He didn’t eat a single bite of his lunch and isn’t resting, just working like his life depends on it.
We can’t persuade him.
Master is currently in the DK office.”
After reading the message, Su He tossed her phone onto the passenger seat and left the Jing Family.
An hour later, she appeared on the first floor of the DK Building.
It seemed to be her first time at DK, although she had been to Jiang Group a few times.
The receptionist at the first-floor lobby recognized her at a glance.
This was also thanks to her usual pastime of browsing gossip and entertainment news.
She hurriedly greeted her, “President Jiang’s wife, are you here to see President Jiang?”
Although it wasn’t her first time seeing Su He, it was the first time she had seen her in person.
“Wow, so beautiful!” she exclaimed subconsciously.
Su He: “…”
“Do you know me?” Su He asked curiously.
The receptionist said excitedly, “Yes, I’ve seen photos of you and the president online.”
Besides, their DK Group and Jiang Group share the same boss.
However, only the internal staff knew this, and no one dared to leak the president’s identity.
So, the wife of Jiang Group’s president was naturally also the wife of DK Group’s president.
Su He didn’t know what to say and could only smile.
She had no idea how enchanting her smile was.
“Madam, you and the president are a perfect match; one incredibly handsome and the other stunningly beautiful.”
Su He: “…”
“Hehe, thank you.
Well, I’m going to head up now.
No need to mind me,” Su He said.
She couldn’t handle people who were too enthusiastic.
Just then, Jiang Feng came out from the elevator.
He had come down specifically to greet Su He.
“Young Madam,” he greeted her respectfully.
Su He acknowledged him with a “Hmm, let’s go.”
As soon as Su He left, the receptionist turned around to grab her phone and spilled the news of Su He’s visit to the company in the chat group.
“Dear colleagues, I have something very important to tell everyone.
I just saw our president’s wife come to the company!
She is a thousand times more beautiful in person than in photos, kind-hearted, and very gentle, with a lovely speaking voice.
She’s just perfectly matched with our president!”
Word spread quickly; within five minutes, the entire DK Group knew Su He had arrived.
Some even tried to find excuses to go to the top floor, hoping to catch a glimpse of their president’s wife for themselves.
It’s just that there’s the desire to steal, but not the guts to actually do it.
At the top floor, outside the President’s office.
Jiang Feng said: “Young Madam, Master is inside right now, you can go straight in.
Also, Master seems to be in a bad mood these past two days.”
Su He glanced at him and lightly furrowed her brows, “So, is him feeling unwell just a pretext?”
Jiang Feng’s back turned a bit cold, but he still braced himself and said: “That’s not entirely untrue; Master really hasn’t been eating much these past days, saying he’s lost his appetite.”
Su He probably knew why he had summoned her here.
These past days, Jiang Yan had indeed been avoiding her, he hadn’t come home last night.
But he still let Fei Xu tell her, that because there was work to be done at the company, he wouldn’t return.
“Then you go on with your work, I’ll go in by myself,” Su He said.
Jiang Feng: “Ah, okay, Young Madam.”
Having said that, he turned and left swiftly like a gust of wind.
Su He stood at the entrance, took a deep breath, and then pushed the door open.
As soon as she stepped one foot in, she heard a man’s deep and cold voice: “Did I give you permission to come in?
Get out!”
Not gonna lie, this voice was sufficiently cold, no wonder Jiang Feng was so scared.
She didn’t answer but walked straight in, closed the door behind her and even locked it.
The man sitting at the desk, engrossed in looking over documents, sharply caught the sound of the lock, his brows furrowed, and then he lifted his head to look at the door.
When he saw that Su He was the one who entered, he was momentarily stunned.
Su He stood there without moving, watching him directly before she then said: “Is President Jiang meaning to kick me out?”
Jiang Yan: “…”
He didn’t know it was her; he thought it was Jiang Feng or others.
He cleared his throat and said: “I didn’t know it was you.”
Su He blinked and responded with a light “Oh,” then questioned again: “So Mr.
Jiang, who is it that has upset you so abruptly?”
It was more like she was asking when she already knew the answer.
After she asked, the man’s inky eyes looked at her deeply, and then he looked away, lowering his head back to the documents in front of him.
Seeing he wasn’t answering, Su He stepped forward a few paces to the front of his desk.
Su He gazed at him for a few seconds with lowered eyes as he remained indifferent.
Suddenly, a slender hand appeared in front of his vision, Su He extended her right hand, lightly pressing on the document in front of him, with the other hand propped on the desk, leaning slightly over it.
Jiang Yan just looked up, and their eyes collided—hers deep and enchanting, seemingly casting a captivating spell.
And her exquisitely pretty face, close at hand like a gorgeous peach blossom, full of bright charm.
Their breathing intertwined.
Su He took the initiative once more: “Are you angry with me?”
She purposefully lowered her voice, her soft and pleasing sound, infinitely tender, causing Jiang Yan’s heart to undulate with warmth.
Her voice was like a gentle breeze, which opened the doors to Jiang Yan’s heart, uncontrollably melting it away.
His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he said with his lips slightly parted: “In your heart, is work more important or are our son and I more important?”
This was the question he’d been wanting to ask these past few days.
Su He pondered for a few seconds before replying: “Both are important, but the two cannot be compared.”
“Work is merely a hobby of mine, something I want to do meaningfully in my lifetime.
One day it might be cast aside by me.
However, a lover and children are something I’ll never abandon in a lifetime.”
After she finished, the whole office fell silent for a few seconds, only their breathing could be heard.
Jiang Yan looked at her, a flash of light as well as compromise in his dark eyes.
He said: “Fine, Mrs.
Jiang, you win.”
Before Su He could react, he grasped her neck and pulled her forward—his lips pressed against hers.
He lightly nibbled on her lip, not forcefully.
“So, does this mean I’ve managed to appease you?” she asked, puzzled, blinking her eyes.
The man’s eyebrows quirked up a bit, “What do you think?”
Su He curved her eyes and brows and pecked lightly on his lips, answering: “I think I did.”
Jiang Yan let her go, saying: “Come here.”
Su He stood up, walked around the desk, and approached him.
He spun his chair around, grasped her wrist, and pulled her into his embrace.
She naturally sat down, arms wrapping around his neck.
One of his hands clasped her slender waist, the other lifting her chin, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said: “Mrs.
Jiang, you seem a bit stingy in pacifying someone.”
Su He smiled with her eyes and replied: “Do you want me to get you riled up so bad that you can’t resist?”
Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled up in a mischievous smile, his deep voice carrying a magnetic hint.
“Why don’t you give it a try, Mrs.
Jiang?
We have a resting room here.”
These types of joyous occasions were always led by him, guided by him; she was always the one to enjoy.
Of course, he was in favour of her suggestion.
Before she could speak, his hand slipped under her knees, and he picked her up, heading for the resting room.
Su He became a bit panicked; after all, she had merely tossed out the suggestion casually.
“No, I was just joking; can we do something else?”
“It’s too late.”
“…”
Half an hour later.
The resting room was filled with suggestive undertones.
“Jiang Yan, that’s enough, don’t make so many demands!”
Su He couldn’t help but rebuke him.
The fact that she agreed to do this was already her limit; he still had so many requests, wanting this and that…
“Okay, I’ll stop; you freestyle,” the man said, his voice hoarse with compromise.
“…”
Jiang Qi, clutching a stack of documents, stepped out of the elevator and headed straight for the President’s office.
A few steps away from that door, he was stopped by Jiang Feng who’d seemed to pop up from nowhere.
“What are you doing?” Jiang Qi, taken aback, frowned and said: “You’re blocking my way; I need Master’s signature.”
Jiang Feng said: “The Young Madam is inside.”
Jiang Qi didn’t give it much thought: “Even with the Young Madam inside, it doesn’t stop me from getting Master’s signature.
Don’t waste my time.”
With that, he tried to push past him to move forward.
Jiang Feng said exasperatedly: “I thought you were normally smart; how come it’s not working now?”
Jiang Qi: “Why are you attacking me now?”
Jiang Feng: “The Young Madam has been inside for almost an hour now, you tell me if it affects Master’s ability to sign?”
“If you’re not afraid of embarrassment or death, go ahead!”
After saying that, Jiang Feng stepped aside to clear a path, even smiling with an inviting gesture, “Go ahead, you go.”
If Jiang Qi didn’t get it by now, then he really would be dull-witted.
“But it’s just past one o’clock.”
“Do these kinds of things differentiate between day and night?
Isn’t it fine as long as the mood strikes…” Jiang Feng said earnestly: “Calling you a single dog and you get cross with me, you don’t even understand this.”
“…”
