Chapter 310: Chapter 310: My Little Waist Fairy
“Is that my brother-in-law’s phone call?”
An Mi dared to speak only after he had hung up the phone.
The moment she heard Jiang Yan’s voice, there was an instant when she held her breath, not daring to even let out a sigh.
Even though she hadn’t done anything guilty, she subconsciously didn’t want them to know that she and Wan Muqi were together.
Such a small thought of hers would certainly not escape Wan Muqi’s notice.
It’s just that he didn’t want to point it out.
The man “hmm”ed in response.
An Mi continued: “If brother-in-law is looking for you, he must have something to tell you. Why don’t you drop me off at the law firm, and I can just take a cab back by myself? I’m not carrying anything heavy.”
All she had in her bag were some basic medical books.
The man still said: “No rush, I’ll take you back first.”
An Mi: “…”
Two hours later.
In the chairman’s office at the top floor of the DK Group.
“You said it was important and just had me come over for tea?”
Wan Muqi sat on the sofa, glanced at the teacup on the table, and then looked up at the man sitting opposite him.
Jiang Yan leaned against the back of the sofa, casually resting one hand on the arm of the sofa, looking somewhat indolent and wilful.
His distinct, slender fingers inadvertently tapped on the armrest.
After a while, the man slowly began to speak: “Mr. Wan, come clean, how far have things developed between you and An Mi?”
He thought, if it hasn’t gone that far, he might still have a chance to explain things to Su He.
Wan Muqi was slightly stunned, and then he curled his lips into a smile.
He quite honestly replied: “We haven’t reached that step, the current situation is just that I like her, but she doesn’t like me.”
Jiang Yan: “…”
So that’s the case, it seems a bit easier to handle then.
Wan Muqi was a shrewd person, and immediately said: “You’re not planning to break us up, are you?”
Jiang Yan: “You two are not suitable.”
Wan Muqi: “How would you know if we are not suitable if you are not us?”
Jiang Yan: “Anyway, when I say it’s not suitable, it’s not suitable.”
Wan Muqi: “So we are not brothers anymore?”
“…”
“That’s a different issue.”
“You are worried that sister-in-law would mind, right?”
Wan Muqi had long noticed Su He’s guard against him.
This guard arose solely because he got close to An Mi.
Jiang Yan did not speak, which was taken as a silent agreement.
Wan Muqi said: “Just pretend you don’t know, and I’m telling you, my happiness for the rest of my life is in your hands.”
Jiang Yan: “… There are also other women in this world, can’t you just like someone else?”
Wan Muqi replied unhurriedly: “Then aren’t there other women in this world besides Su He? Why can’t you choose someone else to marry?”
Jiang Yan frowned: “…”
What kind of skewed logic is that!
Wan Muqi, seizing the moment, continued, “To like someone to the extent of wanting no one else but her, I believe you understand this feeling better than anyone. You can’t possibly want me to stay single for my entire life?”
“…”
At night.
Moon Gift Villa.
After returning, Jiang Yan had been silent and went straight to the study.
Only when the little one went upstairs with the puppy to call him did he come out for dinner.
At the dinner table.
Su He felt that he was acting oddly today, as if burdened with heavy thoughts.
Having been together for so long, she was very sensitive to any slight changes in him and could quickly detect them.
After dinner, Su He settled the little one and then returned to the room.
The man had also taken a bath early tonight and was already lying in bed for sleep.
This was utterly unprecedented.
Su He walked over with confusion.
She sat by the bed and reached out to touch his forehead.
“It’s not hot, no fever.” She muttered to herself.
Even though the man had his eyes closed, Su He knew he was not asleep.
She decided to climb onto the bed and, sitting cross-legged on the other side, just kept staring at him.
Jiang Yan was not asleep to begin with, and being stared at intensely only lessened his sleepiness even more.
He resisted for a while, but ultimately he gave in.
He slowly opened his eyes, and then met Su He’s beautiful yet somewhat cold eyes.
Su He cut right to the chase: “What, not pretending anymore?”
Jiang Yan: “…”
“Get up, let’s talk!”
One minute later.
The couple sat cross-legged facing each other.
Su He sat up straight, arms crossed, while the man slightly bowed, his hands naturally hanging by his knees, looking quite obedient, nothing like the domineering CEO he was known to be.
“Do you spill the beans, or should I start asking?”
Su He looked at him, speaking indifferently, giving him the choice.
Jiang Yan: “…”
Mr. Wan, I really can’t cover for you in this!
Facing Su He, he really isn’t suited to lie.
He began to speak, somewhat humbly: “If I tell you, you can’t be mad at me.”
Su He raised an eyebrow: “You speak first, I’ll gauge the severity of the situation.”
Jiang Yan frowned, was there a need to gauge?
He had already done the gauging for her, surely she would be angry.
He reached out, tugging gently on the hem of her pants, his actions resembling a little milk dog throwing a tantrum, especially since he was wearing pajamas, and his bangs were smoothly combed down, without the domineering CEO’s slick-back hairstyle.
He said: “No way, if I tell you, you’ll definitely get angry.”
“…So are you going to tell me or not?”
“Then you have to promise me first, you can be mad at me, scold me, even hit me, but you can’t kick me out to sleep with our son, and you can’t leave me to go sleep with him.”
No matter what, he had to secure the privilege of not sleeping in separate rooms first.
Su He took a deep breath, closed her eyes: “Okay, speak.”
Two minutes later.
Jiang Yan clearly felt the atmosphere in the room take a sharp downturn.
“Wife, don’t be mad just yet, they didn’t get together, it’s just that Mr. Wan had the intention, but An Mi didn’t have that thought,” he explained hastily.
Su He took another deep breath.
Then, she looked at him and said: “Who claimed that as long as he was around, such a thing wouldn’t happen?”
Jiang Yan knew he was at fault, “Wife, it’s my fault, I’ve been too busy lately and neglected this matter. I just didn’t expect Mr. Wan, who is close to the water, to be so quick to make his move. But rest assured, I found out early, they’re not in any relationship yet, and as long as we cut off their contact, nothing you don’t want to happen will happen. However, should we clarify this with An Mi first? If we suddenly cut off her contact with Mr. Wan, we would be overly controlling her social circle, which would surely leave bad memories for her growth and might even affect her emotional state. After all, she is the one involved, we are just onlookers.”
With that last sentence, he also tried to fight for Wan Muqi’s last chance.
If An Mi doesn’t want to sever ties with him, he would still have a chance. If An Mi listened to her sister, then he was helpless.
Su He knew what he meant.
Of course, she was not that decisive either, and wouldn’t truly interfere too much.
An Mi was no longer a child; she had the right to choose.
If she truly didn’t wish to cut ties with Wan Muqi, she wouldn’t obstruct.
After all, matters of the heart cannot be controlled by outsiders.
Her main concern with Wan Muqi was the fear that a romantic relationship would affect An Mi’s studies.
After all, An Mi is still a university student, plus she’s never been involved in a romantic relationship with the opposite sex, Lin Yue was always strict in this regard.
She’s like a blank slate in the world of love.
She worried about An Mi getting hurt.
Although getting hurt in love is inevitable, she still wished to avoid it if possible.
Of course, she herself didn’t have much experience in love either; beyond the man before her, she had never been with any other man.
Therefore, she couldn’t offer any advice to An Mi, she just wanted to do her best to provide her with emotional protection.
Seeing Su He moved, Jiang Yan continued, “How about we find a day to talk to An Mi?”
Su He looked at him, knowing that was the only option.
Suddenly, a fiery desire flashed in the man’s eyes.
Before Su He could react, the man pounced on her like a starving wolf.
“Jiang Yan!”
“Wife, now that the matter is settled, we can’t waste the rest of tonight,” he said as he lowered his head to whisper in her ear.
Following that, kisses showered down on her incessantly, like a torrential downpour.
Tonight, he seemed to be very patient and not in a hurry, using all of his skills to wholeheartedly please her.
Soon, Su He melted into a lethal temptation beneath him.
But he still did not give her…
Su He knew he was doing it on purpose.
“…”
She bit her red lips, unwilling to succumb, trying to hold back…
But alas, this dog of a man was just too enticing…
Her hands clung to his shoulders, and with flushed cheeks, she leaned close to his ear and whispered a sentence.
The man then laughed, “Alright, as you wish, my little sylph!”
“…”
A gentle stream of moonlight penetrated through the balcony window, casting a shimmering silver glow on the windowsill.
The moonlight, like a silky ribbon of silver, cascaded from the window.
In the courtyard, the shadows of trees swayed gracefully, dancing with their elongated silhouettes.
In the bedroom, flowers under the moonlight seemed to consent to each other’s company.
…
Three days later.
Su He brought An Mi to stay at Moon Gift Villa.
She was on winter break now, which was perfect for having someone else at home to keep Su Baobao company.
Su Baobao recently didn’t want to go to the kindergarten anymore, so Su He simply let him start his holidays earlier.
Moreover, it was close to the year’s end, and both she and Jiang Yan were quite busy.
Originally, she had also planned to bring An Rui over, but An Rui’s personality was completely different from An Mi’s.
Before the vacation even started, An Rui had planned his trips for the holiday season.
So, as soon as the break began, he didn’t even come home, but packed his bags right after school and left.
One was out and about, while the other stayed home reading books—complete opposites.
Su He also wanted to change An Mi’s personality a bit, but her character was already set.
She hoped that spending the winter break with Su Baobao might have a bit of an influence on her.
That night.
Su He still sought out An Mi for a chat.
An Mi sat on the couch with legs crossed, looking obedient as if ready to be scolded.
When Su He said she wanted to talk, An Mi was a bit flustered.
In truth, it was because of that incident that she felt guilty; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been flustered.
Indeed, one should not have secrets or engage in deception.
Otherwise, you always end up living in a world of guilt, where the lies just keep getting more numerous.
That wasn’t An Mi’s intention either.
“Sis, what do you want to talk about with me?”
Seeing Su He hesitate to speak, An Mi had to take the initiative to ask.
Su He didn’t look stern, but An Mi felt a bit uneasy inside.
Su He said: “An Mi, there’s something I hope you’ll tell me the truth about.”
An Mi blinked, then hummed in acknowledgment and nodded.
“You and Mr. Wan, have you guys…”
“Sis, there’s nothing going on between us.”
An Mi interrupted Su He before she could finish her sentence.
Su He looked at her and said, “Don’t be nervous, I’m not trying to blame you.”
An Mi: “Sis, I know what you want to say. It was wrong of me to keep it from you. Mr. Wan said he likes me, but I haven’t accepted him.”
Su He: “Okay, then can I know the real reason you didn’t accept him? Do you not feel any bit of a flutter?”
That night, Jiang Yan told her that An Mi just wasn’t interested.
But she still wanted to hear the reasons from An Mi herself.
An Mi pursed her lips, the red ones moving slightly with a touch of perplexity: “Sis, I don’t know what it feels like to be heartstruck. I don’t accept because, right now, I don’t want to be in a relationship. I just want to study.”
Her answer remained the same as before.
“Then are you averse to him being in contact with you?” Su He asked.
An Mi replied without hesitation: “Not averse at all.”
Not being averse—that meant if she were to ask her to cut ties with Wan Muqi, it would definitely put her in a tough spot.
Although, she knew An Mi would listen to her, after thinking it over, Su He decided to let it be.
She said, “An Mi, I’m not against you dating, but you have to protect yourself. You need to have the ability to judge right from wrong, and a keen sense to detect danger; understand me?”
“Mhm, I get it, Sis. Don’t worry, I won’t let myself suffer a loss,” An Mi said.
Then, Su He continued: “An Mi, your life doesn’t consist only of reading and studying, you can try other fresh experiences.”
“This winter break, I’ll have Fei Xu or Fei Yue teach you some self-defense. On one hand, you can train your physical fitness, and on the other hand, it can be a way to relieve stress.”
“If you really choose to become a surgeon, your physical strength has to keep up, as you’ll be spending a lot of mental energy. If your body can’t handle it, you’ll collapse.”
An Mi happily accepted Su He’s arrangement.
Because she knew that everyone might hurt her, but her sister wouldn’t.
“Alright, go and rest. Don’t stay up too late reading,” said Su He.
She knew that An Mi had the habit of reading every night.
“Mhm, I understand. You should rest early too, Sis,” replied An Mi.
After An Mi went back to her room, Su He sat in the living room for a while before getting up and returning to the main bedroom.
The man was half-reclining on the bed and asked as she walked in, “You finished talking?”
It seemed a bit too quick; he calculated the time—it wasn’t even half an hour yet.
Su He hummed in acknowledgment, “I didn’t tell her to stop contacting Mr. Wan.”
“Why not?”
“She said she’s not averse to interacting with Mr. Wan, which has already demonstrated her choice. Although I know, if I brought it up, she’d choose to listen to me, but after thinking it over, I’d rather not put her in a difficult position. After all, Mr. Wan isn’t a bad person; there shouldn’t be any issues with his character.”
The last sentence was asked with an inquisitive look toward the man.
Jiang Yan understood her meaning, “Aside from being somewhat older than An Mi, Mr. Wan can indeed be described as a paragon among men.”
“So, the things you’re worried about are actually unlikely to happen.”
After hearing An Mi’s words, Su He was no longer so worried.
Instead, she was more concerned about whether Mr. Wan could successfully pursue his love interest.
This little sister of hers, although a bit naive, truly thinks differently from others.
Now, whether Mr. Wan can win her over is another matter altogether.
…
An Mi’s winter vacation finally wasn’t just filled with dull study alone.
This week, she spent time every day playing with the little one, then practiced self-defense in the gym at Moon Gift Villa, and afterwards, she would find some time to read.
Plus, sweating a little each day indeed made her feel more energized.
“Auntie, today Fei Yue gave you a break. You can go shopping with me today, and then we can visit great-grandma at the old mansion, okay?” The little one held her hand and looked up as he spoke.
An Mi glanced at Fei Yue.
Fei Yue: “Hmm, you don’t have to train today. Take a day off.”
Fei Yue was quite fond of her because she was well-behaved and obedient, quick to learn the moves, and besides that, she was beautiful.
An Mi had a face that made people want to protect her the moment they saw her.
It always seemed like if she cried, everyone in the world would feel guilty.
An Mi patted the little one’s head: “Alright, then let’s go.”
Fei Yue: “You guys go wait for me at the entrance, I’ll go get the car from the garage.”
Soon after, the trio left the house and arrived at a shopping mall, entering a large supermarket.
Su Baobao made a beeline for the snack section.
When An Mi saw the pile of snacks in the shopping cart, she was astonished.
“Xixi, can we really buy all these snacks? Are you sure your mommy won’t scold us?”
These items could almost all be classified as junk food.
At first, An Mi thought they were going to buy gifts, not snacks.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have agreed to him.
Yet Fei Yue beside her appeared utterly calm, as if she was used to it.
Su Baobao, with her babyish voice, said, “Auntie, if you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, and Fei Yue doesn’t tell, then mommy won’t know. And great-grandma won’t tell either, oh.”
An Mi: “…”
She looked at Fei Yue, who smiled politely but didn’t speak.
Fei Yue had already been won over by Su Baobao’s charm, nearly becoming his person.
As long as it was not something excessive or life-threatening, Fei Yue would not report it to Su He and Jiang Yan.
“…”
After shopping, the three of them paid and left.
An hour later.
Jiang Family Mansion.
Today, the house had a distinguished guest.
Old Madam was chatting with Mu Ling in the living room when suddenly, a joyful child’s voice echoed.
“Great-grandma, Baobao has come to see you~”
Before even seeing the child, his voice was heard.
“My dear great-grandson has come; what a coincidence that you’re also here today. Take a look, he is the spitting image of Ah Yan,” Old Madam said.
When the little one dashed into the living room, he didn’t expect there to be others at home.
An Mi followed close behind, worried he might fall with such hurried running.
“Xixi, don’t run so fast, watch where you’re stepping,” she called after him, hurrying along and reminding him to be careful.
Unexpectedly, she happened to meet the auntie from the clothing store who had eagerly chatted with her at the Jiang Family Mansion.
Mrs. Wan was also surprised to see An Mi at the Jiang Family Mansion.
Truth be told, since that day, all she knew was that the girl’s name was An Mi, she was studying at A University, and she had no clue about her being the precious daughter of the An Family, Su He’s sister.
Mrs. Wan had no intention of investigating a young girl, as her son’s chosen one was surely trustworthy in character. As for family background, the Wan Family did not care.
Furthermore, she didn’t harbor any ideas of matching families based on social status; as long as the couple shared similar values and could live well together, that was enough.
And judging by An Mi’s looks, it was clear her family circumstances couldn’t be too bad, her parents obviously took great care in her education.
“Granny Jiang, I didn’t inform you of our visit in advance; I apologize for the intrusion,” An Mi greeted the Old Madam politely.
Old Madam was very fond of An Mi as well.
“Silly girl, what intrusion? Granny is happy you came.”
Mrs. Wan’s eyes still sparkled as she observed An Mi.
“Aunt Min, who is this child?” She turned to Old Madam to inquire.
