57 -57: No Reason to Refuse
Su He came to the gym entrance.
Looking at the tightly shut door.
Then, she gripped the doorknob, turned it slightly, and pushed the door open.
Ahead of her was complete darkness; she couldn’t see anything.
Su He frowned slightly.
Could it be that this guy is working out with the lights off?
What kind of odd habit is that?
She took a couple of steps forward, and called out into the dark gym, “Jiang Yan?”
The only response was her own echo.
Then, she reached out to the wall and found the light switch nearby; with a ‘click’, the whole room lit up.
She scanned the room; the gym was quite spacious, and this was her first visit since living here for so long.
Jiang Yan was lying not far in front of her on a mat, one leg curled up, one arm propping up his forehead, motionless.
She walked over and looked down at him.
His eyes were closed, his eyelashes long and lush, casting a beautiful arc under his eyelids.
Su He just stood there, staring at him.
Suddenly, the man’s hoarse and magnetic voice sounded, “Sit down, stay with me for a while.”
Su He slightly furrowed her brows, wanting to say no.
Because the floor was dirty, and she had already taken a bath.
And that’s exactly what she said, her tone even carrying a hint of command, “The floor is dirty, I won’t sit, get up quickly, Uncle Zhong has left dinner for you in the kitchen.”
Jiang Yan, who initially was a bit sullen, now felt somewhat helpless upon hearing her straightforward response.
He opened his eyes, and saw the woman’s face.
Their eyes met.
In that moment, Su He felt as if she saw another world’s Jiang Yan.
His eyes conveyed a hint of loneliness and solitude.
This reminded her of what Jiang You said tonight, that Jiang Yan was a person without a childhood.
A strange feeling flashed across her heart.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
By the time she thought to probe further, he had regained his composure, his eyes like a calm lake.
The loneliness and solitude from before had completely vanished.
“Are you worried about me?” he looked up at her, his thin lips slightly parting.
Su He: “?”
“Do I look like I’m worried?”
She crossed her arms, slightly tilting her head as she scrutinized him, questioning in return.
And indeed, Jiang Yan seriously pondered her question as he stared at her.
Her entire demeanor was relaxed and serene, her delicate fair face carrying a faint, subtle smile.
“Usually, at this time you’d already be asleep.
Since it’s not because you’re worried about me, why are you here?”
The man’s voice was low and magnetically rough, as if wrapped in a layer of sand texture.
For someone who loves voices, listening to him speak is a great enjoyment, and also easily seduces one into irrationality.
Luckily, Su He had good self-control.
Su He, “I was thirsty, went downstairs for water, met Uncle Zhong, he said you were still in the gym, he’s already over fifty, still has to manage the entire Moon Gift Villa every day, staying up late isn’t good for his health.”
Implied meaning: I sympathize with Uncle Zhong.
“…” Jiang Yan.
His solid waist tensed slightly, and he sat up.
Then, he lifted his head and reached out his hand towards her.
Su He slightly raised her eyebrows, “?”
Only to hear him say, “I exerted myself too much just now, I lack the energy, can’t get up.”
Su He slightly frowned, expressing doubt about the credibility of his words.
But she still reached out her hand.
The man’s lips curved slightly, a mischievous smile appearing in her sight.
But by the time she realized something was amiss, it was already too late.
It was only a second’s difference.
“Ah…”
She had just reached out her hand when he grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards him.
Caught off guard, she fell towards him
Before she could react, he wrapped his arms around her waist, spun around, and she was already pinned under him.
“Jiang Yan, you’re playing tricks on me!”
After regaining her senses, Su He bit her teeth and glared furiously at the man close at hand.
The man had one hand cushioning the back of her head and one securely holding her waist, with her feet pressed down by his legs.
She was completely imprisoned in his arms, utterly unable to move.
“Don’t be mad, I just want to hug you,” he murmured near her neck.
“…” Su He.
But why use such an intimate pose just to talk?
His hot breath on her skin made all her cells tingle.
There was also a strange feeling lingering in her heart, she couldn’t quite identify what it was.
Then, his deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ear.
“Susu, what do you really feel about me, do you not care at all?” he asked.
Ever since the day he heard her personally say she had no one she liked, he felt both happy and sad.
Because it meant, she didn’t like him either.
Su He went silent upon hearing this.
Were her feelings that important to him?
Right now, Su He also couldn’t figure it out.
Was the person in his heart her, or Tang Sirou.
He’d tell her that he liked her, but he often interacted with Tang Sirou as well.
But—
Regardless of who was in his heart, she wasn’t interested now.
She wasn’t oblivious to romantic relationships; it’s just that she had no longing or desire to possess love.
Her chin rested on his shoulder as she spoke, “Jiang Yan, I’ve told you, I can’t give you what you want because…”
She paused slightly, “I have an emotional deficiency; I seek nothing from relationships.”
She told him just to make him not waste his time on her.
Moreover, this wasn’t a secret to her.
And Jiang Yan, upon hearing her words, was completely stunned.
Their gazes collided once more, and from his eyes, Su He saw a trace of confusion.
She could understand, but she felt no need to explain further, as there was no point.
His gaze fell on her slightly parted red lips and he kissed her without any warning.
This time, Su He didn’t resist or stop him, letting him kiss her.
She even responded a bit.
This surprised Jiang Yan.
In moments of emotional entanglement, one can lose control.
Furthermore, they were adults, the expected reactions were bound to occur.
Jiang Yan’s warm hands had already started wandering.
Su He felt her body go soft and weak.
Now, he was no longer satisfied with just kissing her lips; chin, neck, collarbone, his kisses were measured, tender, exquisite—any woman would have succumbed, and Su He was no exception, but—
Her clear eyes held a hint of mist as she looked up at the ceiling light.
Her lips curled into a faint smile, “Jiang Yan, you don’t need to use this method to test what I said.”
The man lying on top of her paused briefly and stopped.
She watched him and spoke, “Are you thinking that because my body reacts, it means I have different feelings for you?”
The man’s lips formed a flat line, indeed, he had just been testing her.
But his feelings for her were genuine; he only ever lost control with her.
“I seek nothing from romantic relationships, but I am a normal woman, I have desires too,” her cool voice sounded, calm and composed: “So, Jiang Yan, I won’t fall for you, nor will I love you, you should just…”
But before she could finish her sentence, she heard him grit his teeth and ask, “So, it means tonight, no matter who it was, you could accept them, right?”
Su He was taken aback by his question.
She looked into his deep, almond eyes and for the first time, saw mockery.
Her heart felt as if it was gently stung by a bee, fleeting yet present.
And her hesitation only further infuriated Jiang Yan.
Immediately, a deep, cold voice echoed in her ear, “Since that’s the case, we are husband and wife, Mrs.
Jiang should have no reason to refuse me.”
Su He almost instantly understood his intent.
Her eyes widened, disbelieving, as she watched him.
Then, he carried her back to the master bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
She was shaken a bit, and before she could resist, her hands were restrained by his at her sides.
“Jiang Yan, that’s not what I meant, can you calm down a bit?”
She tried to break free, but this time, Jiang Yan was clearly exerting a lot of force on her wrists, though she didn’t feel any pain, his grip was unusually strong.
Also, his body muscles were very tense; she felt something was off when he was holding her.
“Jiang Yan, you…
mmm…”
Before she could finish, her mouth was sealed by his.
“Susu, we are husband and wife, you have no reason to refuse me.”
His forceful advances and unusual strength left her unable to resist, no matter what she said, he turned a deaf ear.
Taking what he wanted recklessly.
In the end, she could only cooperate with him, soothing his sudden mood swings.
The crescent moon peered through the curtain lattice, a shadow of mandarin ducks intertwining necks faintly appeared before her eyes.
Rain cannot ascend to heaven, water once spilled cannot be gathered.
A stormy day leaves the ground covered with fallen petals.
–
The next day.
Su He’s biological clock forced her to wake up.
She got up to wash up.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she saw ambiguous marks on her neck and collarbone, reminding her of what she experienced last night.
And the instigator of last night was already gone.
She didn’t know what time she fell asleep last night, all she knew was that she pleaded for mercy later on, but Jiang Yan, that bastard, still wouldn’t let her go.
Fortunately, he remembered to consider her feelings and even helped her clean herself.
While brushing her teeth, she tried to recall which statement she made last night had suddenly set him off.
Hadn’t she often spoken provocatively to him before?
Why did he lose control this time?
She vaguely remembered, last night when she was half-conscious, he whispered “sorry” in her ear.
And his expression last night was similar to usual, but his muscles betrayed him.
Even if he was angry, it wouldn’t have caused his muscles to tense up like that; that kind of tension wasn’t anger, it seemed more like a psychological disorder, but he was trying hard to restrain himself, and ultimately, it was because of what she said that he pulled back.
So, which statement had provoked him?
Today, she wore a white chiffon shirt and black high-waisted casual pants, the collar of the shirt conveniently covering the kiss marks.
On the first floor in the living room.
“Uncle Zhong, where is he?”
Su He looked around the living room but didn’t see Jiang Yan.
Uncle Zhong smiled kindly, “Master has already gone to the company.”
Su He: “?”
After eating breakfast, she drove to the hospital.
On the way, she stopped at a pharmacy and quickly came out.
Back in the car, she took an emergency contraceptive pill without any hesitation.
–
DK Group, CEO’s office.
Jiang Feng, “Master, the madam has safely arrived at the hospital.”
Jiang Feng didn’t understand what was wrong with the Master today.
He came to the company early in the morning, then had someone secretly follow the madam after she left the house.
The man stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down at the bustling city below.
The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he uttered a grunt.
After a moment, he turned around and asked, “Did the madam stop anywhere on the way?”
Jiang Feng hesitated, he actually didn’t want to discuss this matter, but since the master had asked.
He—
He swallowed nervously, “Responding to Master, the madam stopped at a pharmacy, she bought, bought…”
He didn’t dare to say the words.
But Jiang Yan had already guessed.
“Alright, you may leave,” he said with a deep, cold voice.
Jiang Feng immediately turned and left.
City First Hospital.
After Su He returned to the hospital, she went to see An Rui; he had already woken up.
After talking with him for a few minutes, she left.
But at the ICU entrance, she ran into An Chengyuan and his wife along with Chen Shurong.
Chen Shurong was still being observed in the hospital, but since the day An Chengyuan had told her to stay away from Old Mrs.
An, she had not visited her since.
However, she is recovering well and was about to be discharged.
“Susu,” Chen Shurong called out to her.
Su He had to walk over to them.
“Grandma.” She only addressed Chen Shurong.
Even if she hated An Chengyuan and Lin Yue, Chen Shurong was still her elder and the only person from the An family who had cared for her.
She couldn’t bring herself to treat her coldly.
However, they hadn’t lived together for nearly a decade, suddenly being so close felt inevitably strange.
“Ah, good child,” Chen Shurong extended her hand to hold Su He’s, displaying a kind and benevolent expression, “How is your brother doing?”
Su He responded, “He’s fine, already awake.
Don’t worry, the doctors will continue to update the family on his condition.”
“That’s great, good that he’s awake,” Chen Shurong commented.
“Lin Yue, you see, I told you Su He’s medical skills are reliable.
You shouldn’t have doubted her, after all, she is also a part of the An Family.”
Old Madam also took the opportunity to criticize Lin Yue a bit.
Lin Yue’s expression stalled, but she managed to squeeze out a smile, “Right, Su He, it was wrong of Aunt Yue, please don’t blame her.”
“Su He, it was indeed your Aunt Yue’s mistake, don’t hold it against her,” Chen Shurong added another remark, “When you’re free, do come and visit Grandma more often, perhaps you could even move back to the An Residence.”
Meanwhile, An Chengyuan maintained a sullen face throughout, not saying a word.
Su He merely arched her brows subtly without any noticeable reaction, simply offering a light smile, “Grandma, I have a meeting to attend to, I must go now.
Please take care of yourself.”
After saying that, she withdrew her hand and turned to leave.
At that moment, An Chengyuan spoke coldly to the Old Madam, “Mother, Su He is no longer a member of the An Family.
Asking her to move back is like slapping our own face.
No matter what, in this lifetime, I will absolutely not allow her to step into our house again!”
He said this without giving the Old Madam a chance to respond and turned to leave.
Su He, who had not gone far, heard every single word distinctly.
Her expression remained calm, but her eyes carried a hint of mockery.
It seems her father despises her more than she had imagined.
Honestly, she never knew why An Chengyuan came to detest her so suddenly, even calling her his greatest failure.
Su He had a busy day at the hospital.
She left work on time.
After she returned to the Moon Gift Villa, she went straight to her own room.
She only came out at dinner time.
Yet, she didn’t see any sign of Jiang Yan.
Then, Uncle Zhong spoke to her, “Young Madam, Master has informed that he won’t be returning for dinner tonight, you don’t have to wait for him.”
Upon hearing this, Su He merely furrowed her brow slightly, not asking anything further, and nodded in acknowledgment.
After dinner, she took a stroll in the backyard.
Then, she stayed in the living room until ten o’clock.
Still, she saw no sign of that person returning.
While browsing through her phone, a piece of entertainment news suddenly popped up.
She intended to swipe it away, but accidentally clicked into it.
The headline read: [Scoop!
Tonight, popular actress Ms.
Tang spotted dining at a high-end restaurant with her boyfriend!]
Below were two images with the people’s faces pixelated.
A man and a woman entered a restaurant shoulder to shoulder, and an hour later, the man was seen supporting the woman by the shoulders as they left.
Comments below said:
“Whoo so sweet, Ms.
Tang’s boyfriend is really nice, heard he even waited for her over an hour at the filming site before taking her out for dinner, now escorting our goddess home, so romantic.”
“Just from the pictures, they look so well-matched.”
“Ms.
Tang must be happy.”
“…”
“You fans are really disgusting, just over a couple of pixelated pictures, going on about how well-matched they are, made for each other, why don’t you guys post the original pictures?”
“…”
Su He skimmed through and then exited.
This Ms.
Tang referred to Tang Sirou, and as for the man in the photos, who else could it be but Jiang Yan?
It was all too recognizable.
She tucked away her phone and went upstairs to rest.
…
“Master, a paparazzo captured photos of you and Miss Tang at the restaurant entrance, both pixelated.
Should we delete them?” Jiang Feng turned from the passenger seat to ask the person behind him.
The focus of the photo was Tang Sirou being supported into the car by the Master.
He handed the tablet to Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan, with a cold and stern look in his eyes, spoke in a dark, cold voice, “Delete!”
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
Tonight, he simply had dinner with Gu Beiyan and Lu Zhiyang, bringing Tang Sirou along, supporting her because she was drunk.
Back at Moon Gift Villa, it was already deeply quiet at night.
When he passed by the guest bedroom, he stopped.
In the end, he still returned to the master bedroom.
The bedroom had been cleaned once.
For the next few days.
Su He didn’t see Jiang Yan, but he still returned home, just that their timings in the morning and evening did not coincide.
Clearly, he was avoiding her.
Until the day of July 23rd came along, coincidentally a Saturday and her birthday.
