Bam—
A bunch of blue enchantresses that he was holding in his hands dropped to the ground.
He opened his mouth to say something but no words came forth. The other man's eyes were cold and forbidding, much like the haughty presence that emanated from him.
"So he's really your husband?"
Yan Nian nodded awkwardly. "He's… erm… Jiang Beiyuan…"
He was rendered speechless!
He was the son of a rich family and never had an issue with his self-esteem. However, today, as he faced an aristocratic man who could give off an overwhelming presence just by standing there, he knew he came up short.
To think that comparison could be so d*mning!
The woman walked over and picked up the bunch of blue enchantresses lying on the floor. After going over to the floral display, she placed them back in.
"This is not the way to arrange the flowers. You need to insert the stalk at an angle and to accessorize with leaves."
"That's why I was waiting for you to teach me."
"Heh, are you seriously thinking about coming to work for me? The wage is only six thousand yuan, without insurance coverage. Are you sure you don't mind?"
He was about to affirm that he didn't when he shot a glance out of his periphery and saw a menacing presence pressing in, cutting him down once more.
Rubbing his nose bridge a few times with his fingertip, he tarried for a while before saying, "Then… I just remembered that I have to attend to something at home, I'll come over to your shop to help you next time!"
With that, he picked up his car key from the table and turned to leave. As he walked past Jiang Beiyuan, he could not help but shudder in fear.
Up 'til now, there had been only two people who could make him shake in fear.
One was Jiang Ting from a decade ago.
The other was Jiang Beiyuan, standing here with him now.
Unfortunately, the memory of Jiang Ting had faded from his mind after so long. He could no longer remember how he looked like, though he could not forget the noble presence he emanated, which was no different from what Jiang Beiyuan was giving off now.
"Hey. Hey, He Huaiguang—"
She called out a few times at the top of her voice, but, alas, the man had slipped off without turning for a second look.
D*mn, he can leave if he wants, but at least return my shop key to me!
She was stunned by a tall and broad frame that appeared and blocked her vision.
Without saying a word, Jiang Beiyuan lifted her by her delicate, tender waist and sat her on the coffee table.
He looked down at her, and his two hands clasped either side of her cheeks.
"Mrs. Jiang."
"Huh?"
Oh, that's right. I'm Mrs. Jiang.
She licked her lips. "Why, what's the matter?"
The man in front stared right at her without blinking. His dark and clear eyes seemed like two bottomless pits that were making her go dizzy just by looking at him.
He snorted. "I won't allow you to make me a cuckold."
"Eh? That isn't the case here. How did I make you a cuckold? Oh… you meant He Huaiguang? He's been my buddy from childhood 'til high school, just like Ding Baoyi. Oh, that's right, you don't know Ding Baoyi. She's my bestie. I'll introduce her to you next time. He Huaiguang, Ding Baoyi, and I have known each other for a long… Hmm."
Something blocked her mouth suddenly.
She was caught off guard.
The man bit her soft lower lip lightly.
Eh, it's quiet now.
He did not like her talking about other people.
With his long, slender fingers clasped on the back of her head, he leaned her head on his chest.
Yan Nian went stiff; her almond eyes grew big and wide like two crystal balls.
He told her in his hoarse, sexy voice, "Keep quiet."
Yan Nian: "…"
...
She was befuddled by the kiss in the shop.
Counting two earlier incidents where he kissed her when he was drunk, this would be the third time.
For three consecutive days, she did not return to his villa.
She was the kind who would pretend that a situation did not happen if she did not know how to react to it.
Hence, since that kiss, she had turned into an ostrich.
At the airport.
The man had to visit the neighboring Li City for a medical conference today.
Inside the buzzing departure hall, he stood tall and proud among the harried crowd.
Many vampish-looking young girls were checking him out and trying to entice him. He ignored them completely.
After thinking for a while, he pulled out his phone to send Yan Nian a short message.
"I'll be away on a business trip for two days."
