256: Chapter 256: Entangling Her for a Kiss 256: Chapter 256: Entangling Her for a Kiss Su He left the dean’s office and returned to the Cardiothoracic Department.
Su Tianyi asked her to consider it further, but actually, there was nothing left to consider.
The moment she stepped through the doors of the Cardiothoracic Department, everyone’s gaze on her was odd and curious.
Su He had a rough idea as to why.
Since she agreed to accept the interview, she had prepared herself for this.
Just as she reached the door of the doctors’ offices, she heard a chirpy discussion inside.
“I heard Director Su came back today, I saw her going to the dean’s office.”
“I never dreamt I would be so close to my idol!”
“If I had known earlier that Director Su was Professor Nil, I definitely would have studied harder, not slacked off…
now I regret it…”
“I’m even more regretful; I was originally supposed to be in Director Su’s group, but heard she was very strict, so I chickened out…”
“Doctor Lu, you’re the luckiest, you know Director Su best, she always takes you along in every surgery she performs, I’m so envious.”
“…”
After listening for a bit, Su He gave up on entering and turned to enter her own office.
Soon after, Lu Zhenyu knocked and came in.
He had always admired Su He, and seeing her now, an additional layer of adoration was apparent in his eyes.
He asked, “Director, you wanted to see me?”
Su He hummed in acknowledgment.
Since she would be spending less time at the hospital, aside from regular clinics and some major surgeries, she needed to instruct him on a few things.
“…”
“What?
You are resigning?”
His eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Su He sighed, glanced at him, and said, “Don’t be so dramatic, I have other things to attend to.
You just need to arrange everything as I just instructed, I’ve already notified the dean.”
“Also, keep this matter confidential, keep your mouth shut.”
Lu Zhenyu felt her sharp gaze and quickly covered his mouth.
He nodded, “Okay, I understand.”
…
In the following month, Su He indeed appeared infrequently at the hospital.
She was always out early and back late.
Sometimes, she didn’t even come home, leaving just her husband and son at home.
Even Jiang Yan, a CEO managing two major companies, felt she was busier than him, practically unable to catch a glimpse of her.
That evening.
A conversation emanated from Su Baobao’s children’s room.
“Daddy, why are you in my room again?
Has Mommy not come back yet?”
The little guy looked puzzled at the man sitting in his room.
Jiang Yan hummed, then said, “So, call your mommy quickly, ask her where she is and when she’s coming home.”
Su Baobao asked confusingly, “Why do I always have to call Mommy, can’t you call her yourself, Daddy?”
Jiang Yan patiently explained, “When you call, it’s different than when Daddy calls.”
“How is it different?”
“Because you are a child and Daddy is an adult, when you call Mommy, it’s because you miss her, but if Daddy calls, it becomes like a check-in.”
“…”
In the end, Su Baobao still made the call.
Meanwhile, Su He was driving towards Moon Gift Villa, she hadn’t been there in several days.
Just then, Su Baobao called her.
“Hello, baby, why haven’t you rested yet?”
She glanced at the time; it was already half-past ten.
Su Baobao’s voice, tender and childish, reached her ears: “Mommy, when are you coming home?
Baby misses you.
I haven’t seen you lately, and it’s been a long time since you had a meal with the baby.”
Indeed, Su Baobao had been speaking the truth; every day he would get up for school while Su He would either still be in bed or have left early, and by the time she returned at night, he’d already be asleep.
Hearing her son’s words, Su He paused, reflecting, and it did seem so.
Recently, she had been busy with the institute, since there was a research base there.
Besides specific times reserved for seeing patients at the hospital, she spent the rest of her time at the institute.
Feeling somewhat guilty, she said: “Sorry, dear, mommy has been too busy lately.
In a few days, mommy will find time to be with you.”
Su Baobao truly missed her, but he also knew that Su He was genuinely busy, so he behaved very well and didn’t fuss or throw tantrums.
His youthful voice rang out again: “Mommy, not just baby, Daddy also misses you a lot.”
“Daddy even complained to me, saying he can’t sleep without you at night, so hurry up and come back, Mommy.”
Listening to her son’s words, Su He smiled and responded, “Mmm, Mommy is on her way home now.
It should take about half an hour to get there.”
Recently, she had indeed neglected both father and son.
Upon hearing this, Su Baobao cheered joyfully and then hung up the phone.
Then, he turned to the man beside him and said, “Daddy, Mommy will be back soon, you can go back to your own room now.”
Afterward, he added earnestly, “Daddy, you need to get used to it, once Mommy gets busy, she really gets busy.”
Su Baobao was so calm because he was already used to it.
“Daddy, you better hurry up and go, baby won’t interrupt your time with Mommy.”
The little guy blinked and spoke very generously.
Jiang Yan adjusted his eyebrows subtly but didn’t say anything; instead, he raised his hand and ruffled his little head, “Should Daddy thank you properly then?”
The little guy grinned, “Then Daddy should hurry up and let Mommy give baby a little sister.”
With that, he swiftly climbed off the carpet and went to bed himself.
“…”
Half an hour later, Su He’s car entered the villa’s parking garage.
As she stepped through the front door, she met the man’s deep gaze.
It seemed to her that his eyes held a touch of grievance.
“Why are you standing here?” she asked.
Jiang Yan stared at her intently for a few seconds, took two steps forward, bent over, took out her slippers, and then placed them in front of her.
“Change shoes.”
Listening to him, Su He blinked, after placing her car keys and bag casually on the console by the entrance.
After changing shoes, she looked up at him and asked, “Is the son asleep?”
But the man just silently watched her.
Confused, Su He reached up to touch her face, “What’s wrong?
What are you looking at my face for?
Do I have… ah…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Yan suddenly stretched out his long arm, embraced her waist, and with a spin, pinned her against the wall at the entrance.
She was completely caught off-guard and was startled.
Then, a flurry of kisses followed.
In his earnest and punishing kisses, Su He felt his urgency.
“You only remember your son; have you forgotten that you have a husband at home?” he said amidst the fervent kisses.
Caught in his passionate embrace, she heard him say that.
Su He roughly guessed the reason.
She sighed inwardly, winding her arms around his neck like vines, and tiptoed in response.
The man, getting the response, felt the gloom in his heart clear instantly.
Just like a child who got candy, his mood brightened instantly, making him even more eager to have more.
However, that still wasn’t enough, his lips searing with warmth, slowly moved from her lips to her ears, then to her neck, and then to her collarbone…
Su He had been kissed by him until her limbs were weak and her body tingled, completely leaning on him.
His breath, his presence, made her feel secure and warm, the heat bursting forth burning her skin.
Suddenly, the man’s kiss returned to her ear, nibbling her earlobe, the deep magnetic voice drilling into her eardrum.
“Do you miss me?”
She bit her lip; this voice was too seductive, too delightful to the ears, she tightened her grip around his neck and leaned closer to his ear, murmuring a faint “Mhm, I miss you.”
Jiang Yan heard her ambiguously breathy voice and instantly tensed up.
She could feel the tension in his muscles.
She quickly said, “Shall we go to the room?”
Even though it was their own home, the villa was not just theirs; if Uncle Zhong or any other servant happened to appear, she would be embarrassed enough to want to bury herself in a hole.
The man’s voice was low as he said, “Okay.”
The next second, he effortlessly lifted her up and walked quickly upstairs.
As soon as they entered the master bedroom, he locked the door, and immediately, unable to wait any longer, pushed her against the wall and entwined her in his kiss.
In a short while, she felt a chill, and then she was placed on a soft quilt.
When she opened her eyes, a thin mist clouded her vision and the lights above flickered dimly, perhaps she was too tired lately, she might be hallucinating.
“…”
Afterwards, Jiang Yan carried her to the bathroom to clean up.
She was so drowsy and hazy, completely lacking the strength to wash herself, just letting him handle her.
She actually came back tonight wanting to talk to him about something, but hadn’t gotten the chance yet.
Jiang Yan, like a nurturing mother, after washing her, dressed her in pajamas then dried her hair.
He carried her out of the bathroom, and settled her on the sofa, his husky voice sounding, “Sit on the sofa for a bit, I’m going to change the sheets.”
It was not practical to ask a servant to change them at this hour.
Su He was so tired she did not even want to open her eyes, she nodded and leaned back on the sofa.
Shortly after, she slightly opened her eyes and saw the man’s busy figure.
Soon, the man efficiently changed the sheets.
He then returned to the sofa, picked her up again.
Snuggled in his arms, Su He looked up at him, her voice slightly hoarse, “How are you so capable?”
Jiang Yan gently placed her on the bed, tucked her in, and kissed her forehead lightly.
“Who let me have a Mrs.
Jiang who doesn’t like to do things herself?” he said gently: “Alright, sleep now.”
Su He looked at him with slightly dazed peach blossom eyes, as sleepiness overwhelmed her, she mustered the energy to blink, and murmured softly, “Actually, I had something to tell you tonight, but I’m too sleepy, let’s talk tomorrow.”
After speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Jiang Yan stroked her silky hair, helplessly curled his lips.
…
In the early morning, all was silent, and on the eastern horizon, a streak of light appeared, twinkling like a bright pearl, shining a soft light, gradually climbing along the horizon as if summoning the sun to rise.
Today is Saturday, when Su He came downstairs, Su Baobao was sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
The little one saw her and sweetly called out: “Mommy～ good morning～”
Su He walked over and rubbed his little head, “Good morning.”
The little guy looked up at her and asked, “Mommy, why did you get up so early?
Didn’t you sleep longer?
Daddy said you fell asleep very late last night.”
Su He turned her head to look at the man nearby, then sat down next to Su Baobao.
She said, “Didn’t you miss mommy?
Mommy was worried that you had to go to school later and wouldn’t see you.”
Su Baobao blinked his big round eyes and said, “But mommy, today is Saturday, baby doesn’t have to go to kindergarten.”
Su He: “…”
“Uh, is it Saturday today?”
She was so busy that she couldn’t even tell what day of the week it was.
“Yeah~”
Su Baobao, with sharp eyes, spotted the “wound” on her neck and asked anxiously, “Mommy, how did you get hurt?”
He reached out with his little finger and touched her neck.
Su He was startled, oops…
she had just forgotten to cover it up.
She casually said, “It’s nothing, just got bitten by a mosquito last night.”
Su Baobao frowned in confusion, he might be young, but he’s not dumb.
“What mosquito?
Biting that big?”
Su He: “…”
“Maybe the mosquito mutated.” She coughed lightly and said noncommittally.
At the moment, the mutated mosquito was peeling an egg methodically, as if this had nothing to do with him.
On Su Baobao’s little head rested a huge question mark?
After breakfast.
The little guy went for a walk with Paomian.
“You said last night that you had something to talk to me about, what is it?” Jiang Yan asked.
Upon hearing this, Su He fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that she was not speaking, Jiang Yan slightly parted his thin lips and pressed, “Hmm?
Why aren’t you speaking?
Did you forget after waking up?”
Su He coughed lightly, “No, I’m just thinking about how to start talking to you.”
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow, “Something that makes you so embarrassed to say, are you thinking about divorce again?”
Su He turned her head to look at him: “No, what are you talking about?”
Jiang Yan stretched out his arm, pulled her into his embrace, and lowered his head to kiss her by the lips: “Just kidding.”
“…”
“Just say what you want to say, I’m listening.”
His hand pinched her smooth, delicate cheek.
“I need to tell you something, and you can’t get angry.”
Su He lifted her chin and looked at him, speaking very seriously.
Jiang Yan responded, “As long as you don’t leave me, I won’t be angry no matter what you say.”
Su He thought to herself, this shouldn’t count as leaving, right?
She bit her lower lip, somewhat cautiously, “I need to go on a business trip to F country, and it might be for a while.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan didn’t overthink but simply said, “Hmm, isn’t a business trip normal?
Why would I get angry?”
Su He blinked, “So you’re agreeing?”
The man responded with a “Hmm,” then asked, “How long will you go?
I’ll come with you, I’ll have Jiang Feng arrange things at home.”
Su He curved her red lips, “It could be one year, or maybe two years…”
Or even longer, she just didn’t say it.
Jiang Yan was taken aback, his eyes downcast as he asked, “What did you just say?”
Su He hastily added, “Although it’s a bit long, I’ll make time to come back.”
Jiang Yan twisted his brows, his face growing somber.
“No, that’s too long!”
