144: Chapter 144 Master Is Jealous 144: Chapter 144 Master Is Jealous Su He looked at Ella sitting across from her and said, “I thought you would have gone back after sorting things out.”
After all, every time it had been like this, she never stayed longer than necessary.
Ella smiled and said, “Well, this time, I plan to stay a few more days.”
Su He expressed some surprise, raising an eyebrow, “It doesn’t seem like there’s anything here that needs handling.
Why are you staying?”
It wasn’t that she wanted to rush her off, but rather that Ella was a workaholic.
Aside from overseeing her own matters, she also had to manage a scientific research company, busy as a spinning top every day.
Thus, under non-essential circumstances, she would not stay away from Country F for too long.
Typically, once she finished her tasks, she would immediately go back.
When she said she was going to stay a few more days, of course, Su He was surprised.
“I don’t think I have enough charm to make you stay for me, and don’t tell me something cliché like you missed me.
Just tell me, what is it for?”
Ella stared at her for several seconds and then suddenly became curious, “Why do I feel like you’ve changed?”
Su He: “?”
How had it turned to her?
“Why have you become a bit gossipy?” Ella said with a scrutinizing gaze, “You never used to care so much about my affairs.”
Su He smiled and continued to meet her gaze in silence.
After pondering for a while, Su He suddenly thought of the phone call Helian Lu had made yesterday.
Based on the timing, Ye Jiuqing should have already arrived in Yue City.
Suddenly, she had a moment of sudden clarity.
She looked at Ella, her lips curving into a slight smile, her eyes gleaming, and asked, “Tell me, did you run into Ye Jiuqing?”
Upon hearing this, Ella’s light purple eyes flashed a different color, and she paused slightly.
The next second, she laughed and said, “Heh, he’s quite obedient indeed, really sent you a message.”
Su He shrugged, “He didn’t contact me; Helian Lu told me.”
“Oh?
So, you knew he was coming this morning?” Ella said.
Su He hummed affirmatively.
Seeing that Ella deliberately changed the subject, Su He didn’t ask further.
When Ella left Su He’s office, she was spotted by Wen Qianyi.
“Miss Ella,” she called out to Ella.
Ella looked at her, raising a light smile, “Miss Wen, is there something you need?”
Wen Qianyi said appreciatively and politely, “I’m very grateful to Miss Ella for showing up in time today.”
Ella maintained her smile and replied, “My appearance was mainly to protect our reputation.”
Wen Qianyi asked, “Does Miss Ella know Susu?”
Susu?
Hearing her call that name so affectionately, when did this Miss Wen become so familiar with Su He?
Why had she never heard Su He mention this person Wen Qianyi before?
She almost knew Su He’s social circle like the back of her hand.
If she hadn’t mentioned her, then she must be an unimportant person.
Ella nodded and said, “Yes, I know her.
We are friends.”
Wen Qianyi seemed somewhat cautious as she asked, “Then does Nil know Susu?”
Ella responded smoothly, “They aren’t very close, but they know each other, as everyone is from the same circle.”
“…”
Elsewhere, Ye Jiuqing directly sought out Jiang Yan.
In Jiang Yan’s office, two imposing figures were present.
Ye Jiuqing lazily sat on the sofa, lifting his head to survey the office.
He clicked his tongue and said, “Capitalists will always be capitalists.”
Jiang Yan did not respond to him.
Immediately after, Ye Jiuqing sized him up again, a mocking curve on his lips, “President Jiang, you seem to have recovered rather quickly, already able to work.
Didn’t Su He stop you?
Telling you to rest well at home?
I remember I was injured once, and I would have been fine in a few days, but she vehemently wouldn’t let me leave the bed, strictly ordering me to lie in bed for a month, to recuperate properly at home before working.
Moreover, she scheduled a nutrition plan for me every day and personally cooked for me.”
As he spoke, he purposely raised his eyebrows, a hint of pride in his eyes.
After a moment, Jiang Yan spoke nonchalantly, “You are quite lucky then, not to have gotten food poisoning.”
Ye Jiuqing: “?”
A cold light lingered in Jiang Yan’s deep black pupils, as he spoke with a hint of a smile, “How would I not know my wife’s cooking skills better than you?
Moreover, she never steps into the kitchen.”
Ye Jiuqing scoffed, “But don’t forget, President Jiang, it was I who was with her those four years, from her pregnancy to childbirth.
I was the one by her side.
Where were you?”
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly without showing any emotion, causing the temperature in the office to suddenly drop.
He had to admit, at this moment, he was jealous of Ye Jiuqing.
He also regretted why he hadn’t seen the message in time.
At this moment,
Jiang Yan’s phone placed aside rang.
As soon as the ringtone sounded, he knew who it was, because it was the special ringtone he had set up for Su He.
The man’s originally gloomy face instantly softened.
This transformation made Ye Jiuqing somewhat dumbfounded.
Could this man really change faces like this?
Until he heard—
“Hello, wifey.”
The man’s deep and magnetic voice, mixed with tenderness, was thrown out.
Every time, when Su He heard his voice, she couldn’t help but let her thoughts wander.
Fortunately, she could still control her restless thoughts.
Over the phone, Su He asked, “Have you finished your work?
I’ll go directly to your company later, and we can go back to the mansion together.”
Because tonight, she had promised Grandma to go back to the mansion for dinner.
Jiang Yan responded, “Hmm, I’m done.
But, I have an unwelcome guest here.”
Su He asked, “Who is it?”
Jiang Yan glanced at Ye Jiuqing on the sofa and said softly, “Someone you know.”
Su He: “…”
She knows him?
The next second, she said, “Ye Jiuqing, huh?”
Jiang Yan “hmm”-ed, his feelings indiscernible.
But he knew very well that he felt a bit blocked inside because Su He had guessed it so quickly.
Her quick guess meant that she knew right from the start that Ye Jiuqing had come.
Half an hour later.
At the Jiang Family building downstairs.
It was currently the peak hour after work, and Jiang Family’s employees were leaving work one after another.
However, at the entrance stood two men, both exuding a similar aura.
One was their big BOSS, and the other was a rare blue-eyed handsome man.
This scene was pleasant to the eyes, mainly because both men were very handsome.
Handsome as they were, no one dared to blatantly stare; their aura was too strong, and passersby got the chills, feeling a coldness at their backs.
When Su He arrived, she found this scene strange.
Nevertheless, it was indeed pleasing to the eye.
But when it came to handsomeness, she might be inclined towards Jiang Yan.
Upon seeing Su He, the fierceness slightly faded from their bodies, and their stern faces also softened a bit.
Jiang Yan stepped forward and took hold of Su He.
She looked down and did not resist, letting him hold her hand.
But to Ye Jiuqing, this scene was too eye-catching.
Also, other employees of the Jiang Family, seeing their boss actively taking a woman’s hand, were so shocked they nearly tripped over themselves.
Wow!
This is big news!
Could this be their mysterious madam boss?
Jiang Yan’s married status was well-known, but they had never seen the real face of Su He.
Someone, undaunted by death, sneakily took out their phone and snapped a photo, posting it in the workgroup.
“Folks, madam boss has appeared!”
Instantly, the workgroup exploded!
“This is truly a match of talented man and beautiful woman!”
“Woo~ The madam boss is so pretty!”
“Why do I feel like this madam boss looks familiar?”
“@Planning Department Xiao Zhao, I also feel she looks familiar, she looks so much like a doctor I once saw at the hospital.
I even came back and gossiped with colleagues about seeing a beautiful doctor at the outpatient service.”
“Ah ah ah… I also had an appointment with that female doctor, and even then, I thought she was very pretty, even stunning with a mask!”
Not long after, a few people tossed out screenshots of the registration they had done earlier.
“Damn!
It really is the boss lady!”
“…”
Ye Jiuqing looked at Su He and asked, “Where are you guys going?”
Hearing this, Su He raised her eyes to look at him: “Nonsense, of course we’re going home.”
Ye Jiuqing, with a thick-skinned tone, said, “I have no place to stay, just so happens, I’ll borrow a stay at your house.”
Su He’s delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, as if she heard some ridiculous joke, “Ye Jiuqing, do you think I’m naive and easy to fool, or are you daydreaming?”
She must have water in her brains, to believe his nonsense and take him home to stay, that would simply be a fool’s dream.
—
An hour later.
Jiang Family Mansion.
After the couple got out of the car.
“Young Madam, Master, that…” Jiang Feng looked at the couple and pointed not far away, “Young Master Ye also followed, should we…?”
Su He glanced and said indifferently: “Ignore him, as long as he doesn’t do anything outrageous.”
After saying that, she turned and walked into the mansion.
Ye Jiuqing sat inside the car with a gloomy expression on his face.
Ah Gui, who sat in the passenger seat, turned back and asked towards the rear compartment: “Master Jiuqing, are we going to keep waiting here?”
It felt absurd to him, but Master Jiuqing had done plenty of absurd things for Miss Su already.
However, previously they did not know that Miss Su was married, it seemed understandable.
But now, it’s somewhat incomprehensible.
Master Jiuqing is now following this couple all the way home, and even plans to keep staying here, it’s literally as ridiculous as ridiculous could be, making an opening for ridicule…If word of this gets out, wouldn’t others laugh their teeth off!
Inside the mansion, Jiang You and Jiang Nanche were also present, plus the little guy Su Yimo, filling the living room with cheerful voices.
Only the couple sat quietly on the sofa.
Su He could tell that Jiang Yan’s mood wasn’t very good when he came back.
In the car, she thought it was her own misconception, so she never asked him.
But back at the mansion, his mood still seemed somewhat down, and he was completely silent.
She cleared her throat and touched his sleeve with her hand.
The man then reacted, glanced at her, but looked away the next second.
Su He: “…”
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
But she waited a few seconds and he didn’t open his mouth.
She asked again, “Is the wound uncomfortable?
Or are you too tired from work today?”
Worry was evident on her face, the kind she didn’t even realize herself.
But the Old Madam sitting in the main seat noticed it.
Since this couple walked in, she clearly felt her grandson’s abnormality.
After raising her grandson with her own hands, she could tell his thoughts with one look.
But Su He looked normal, it was clearly her grandson sulking on his own.
When the two of them got married and went abroad separately, they were separated for four years, she worried whether these two could still continue walking down this road together, but now it seems there was still hope.
The story they gave when they brought the little guy back then, she didn’t believe.
Saying things like the little guy was unwell, for her not to worry and such…
She was old, but her mind was still sharp.
She didn’t expose them and just let them be.
After Su He finished asking, the man still did not speak.
Now, she was seriously puzzled.
She directly reached out her hand and touched his forehead with the back of her hand, muttering: “You’re not even feverish, so why this gloomy look?”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Just because one is in a bad mood, must it mean they are sick?
Su He disliked guessing back and forth: “What exactly is the matter?
Speak, have you become mute?”
Jiang Yan: “…”
If it hadn’t been for the fact that this was the old mansion, and Grandma was here, her tone would have been even more severe than before.
He pursed his lips, his thin lips slightly parted and said: “It’s nothing, just thinking about work matters.”
Su He: “?”
She blinked, looking at his distinctly angular profile.
During dinner, he behaved normally, still serving her the dishes she liked, but he didn’t talk, and his expression was off.
It might be that Jiang You and Jiang Nanche had already gotten used to his coldness, so they didn’t see anything wrong.
But Su He didn’t think so, perhaps because they had spent a lot of time together, she could notice his subtle changes.
After dinner.
The Old Madam asked them to stay at the Jiang Family Mansion tonight, and Jiang Yan didn’t object, he agreed.
Of course, Su He didn’t object either.
It just so happens that tomorrow is Saturday.
In the room.
“Mommy, I want to sleep with Auntie tonight,”
Su Baobao said in a baby voice, holding his little blanket, looking at Su He.
Su He touched his head, “Okay, go ahead.”
Suddenly, Su Baobao gestured with his little finger, whispering, “Mommy, squat down for a moment, baby has a secret to tell you.”
Curious, Su He still squatted down.
The little guy hugged her neck and whispered into her ear, “Mommy, it seems like daddy is in a bad mood, work hard tonight to cheer him up.
He still has injuries, you’ve told baby before that being in a bad mood is not good for healing the wounds.”
Su He was slightly stunned, admittedly surprised that the little guy would say this to her.
She raised her eyebrows curiously, looking at the little guy, “How do you know his mood is bad?”
Su Baobao grinned, pointing at his sparkling eyes, murmured, “Of course, baby noticed it by himself.”
Su He joked, “When did you acquire the fiery golden eyes?”
Su Baobao huffed, “I’ve always had fiery golden eyes~ Mommy, remember to cheer daddy up.”
“…”
At 9:30 PM.
After taking a bath, Su He came out of the bathroom and saw that the man had already returned to the room, sitting on the sofa, his long legs resting on the ground, and a laptop on his feet, his distinct fingers tapping the keyboard.
After watching for a few seconds, she walked over, standing beside him, looking down at him.
She paused for a while before speaking, “Didn’t you say you were done with work today?
Why are you still busy?”
The man quickly responded, “Today’s work is done, but I can start on tomorrow’s.”
Su He: “…”
After thinking, she simply sat next to him, tilting her head to look at him, “Jiang Yan, did I do something to upset you?”
Her sixth sense told her, this man’s sudden anger seemed to be somehow related to her.
But, she didn’t seem to provoke him, did she?
What was there to be angry about?
“If there is, just tell me, I can’t guess.”
As soon as her words fell, the man’s keyboard-tapping hands stopped.
He turned his head to meet her gaze.
Su He didn’t look away, staring straight at him, and even raised her eyebrows to signal him to speak.
Jiang Yan looked at her, his thin lips slightly parted, “Once, you took care of him for a month, even made a nutritional meal plan, and cooked for him personally, right?”
The more he spoke, the tighter Su He furrowed her brows, blinking her eyes in confusion, “Who are you talking about?”
Took care of who for a month?
What meal plan?
And personally cooking???
She had hardly ever been in the kitchen her whole life!
She could learn anything, only cooking, she could never learn…
That was her shortcoming.
Jing Xuan and others said she was a kitchen killer; every time she entered the kitchen, it needed a renovation.
So, she hardly ever touched kitchen utensils.
Watching her puzzled eyes and confused face, Jiang Yan also furrowed his brows and mentioned a name.
Hearing that, Su He was, “…”
Completely speechless!
“Who told you I took care of him for a month?
He was the one I hit, and he stayed in the hospital for a month.
The nutritional meal plan was from the hospital, and the one who cooked for him was his family’s housekeeper, what does it have to do with me?”
“…”
