74 -74 Jiang Yan Being Improper
Second-floor study.
Su He followed him inside, just as she casually closed the door behind her.
The man suddenly turned around and grabbed her by the shoulders, pressing her against the wall.
Su He was dumbfounded.
“Jiang Yan, are you sick or something?”
She glared at him, ‘Can’t you speak properly without getting physical?
What are you trying to do?’
Jiang Yan ignored the fury in her eyes.
His angular lips curved into a slight smirk as he looked at her and said, “If I were really sick, you’d be the cure.”
Damn it!
Su He cursed inwardly.
Where did he learn to talk like that?
It made her skin crawl, so creepy!
His arm held her slender waist tightly, the other propped up against the wall by her ear.
The muscle lines on his arm blended perfectly with his clothes.
“I don’t know if I’m your cure, but I might be a sharp blade that could hurt someone.
If you don’t let go of me now, and I accidentally hurt President Jiang later, don’t blame me!”
Su He’s dark eyes stared at him with a hint of threat.
The two were so close that not a single gap remained between them, their breaths spraying on each other’s faces.
In those few short seconds, Su He found it difficult to withstand that burning heat.
Their position was already ambiguous enough, everything that shouldn’t be felt could be felt.
Seeing her angry, Jiang Yan found her as cute as a little fox, but adorable nonetheless.
The man chuckled softly, “If I get hurt, so be it, since I’m tough.
Just don’t hurt yourself, madam.”
Su He frowned slightly; he always had a way of rendering her speechless with just one sentence.
Seeing him so yielding, she lost all desire to act.
She softened her tone, “Didn’t you have something to say to me?
You can’t possibly want to talk like this, can you?
Let’s sit down and talk, alright?”
Staying in this embrace could easily lead to an accident.
She didn’t want a second time!
Jiang Yan’s hand covered her cheek, his thumb gently caressing her fair skin.
Su He just felt a tickle on her face.
His gaze burned into her as he spoke, “Wife, I want to kiss you.”
Su He’s pupils dilated instantly, and she swallowed hard.
She glared at him again, “Jiang Yan, can’t you be serious?
If there’s something on your mind, just say it.
Are you playing with me now?”
He said he had something to talk with her about, and she followed without hesitation.
But now, he was spouting such foolish talk.
Jiang Yan’s deep eyes were filled with indulgence as he lowered his body, whispering close to her ear, “Wife, do you know you’re cute when you’re angry?
Huh?
I like it a lot.”
Su He turned her head slightly because—
As the man spoke, his thin lips occasionally touched her neck, sending shivers through her as if she had been shocked by electricity.
She wasn’t sure if he did it on purpose or not.
She raised her hand to push him away but he caught the back of her head in his hand, pressing her face to his shoulder.
The man whispered again, “Be good, don’t move, let me hold you.
I’ve said it before: I won’t touch you without your consent.”
Su He was momentarily stunned, keeping her raised hand frozen mid-air.
Actually, he had just made up an excuse to get her to come upstairs, just to accompany him.
If he hadn’t put it that way, she probably wouldn’t have come.
–
A few minutes later, Su He knitted her brows; she sensed something was off with him.
His breathing and the slight changes in his body, she, being sensitive, noticed it all at once.
“What’s the matter with you?” she pondered for a while before asking.
“Promise me, don’t leave me,” the man murmured with his head buried in her neck, “Never leave me.”
Su He could tell there was something odd with his emotions and tone of voice.
Was there a raw vulnerability in him tonight?
Was it a special day?
Had he seen someone before coming back?
It couldn’t be because she was a little brusque just now, could it?
That seemed unrealistic—she hadn’t really done anything, had she?
At this moment, three eavesdroppers squatted at the doorway of the study.
They pressed their ears against the door.
“Isn’t the soundproofing in this study too good?” Jiang Nanche muttered, “How come we can’t hear anything?”
“Did you guys hear anything?” he turned to ask the two beside him.
An Mi and Jiang You shook their heads at the same time.
Jiang You said, “As long as they are not fighting, everything is fine.”
An Mi added, “My brother-in-law is so gentle, he probably wouldn’t argue with my sister.”
Her words had barely fallen when Jiang You and Jiang Nanche stared at her in unison.
“What did you just say?”
“Did you say my brother is gentle?”
An Mi stared at the two bewildered faces, slightly puzzled, but still nodded, “Yeah, what’s up, is there a problem?”
Jiang You and Jiang Nanche glanced at each other, realizing the gravity of the situation.
They had never associated the word ‘gentle’ with Jiang Yan.
Since the three of them couldn’t hear anything, they turned around and went downstairs to continue playing games.
Inside the study.
Su He was tightly embraced by Jiang Yan and couldn’t move at all.
She felt like she was about to run out of breath.
This feeling was just like the last time at the gym when he suddenly became irritable, his grip was unusually strong.
She slowly raised a hand and touched his arm, his muscles were clearly tense, not in a normal state.
She gently patted his shoulder and said softly, “Jiang Yan, I’m not leaving, but could you let go of me first?
I’m running out of breath.”
After she finished speaking, he slightly loosened his grip, but did not let go completely.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, I just wanted to hold you.”
Su He felt that she couldn’t provoke him at this moment; she had to go along with him.
If it turned out like the last time, she would be the one who suffered.
“Jiang Yan, if there’s anything you want to say, just tell me, I’m listening,” she whispered in his ear.
He buried his head in her neck, took a deep breath and slowly spoke into her ear, “I saw her again today.”
Who is she?
She couldn’t immediately recall who ‘she’ referred to in his words, until he said, “Today, I saw her attending an event with that man and their child, the family seemed so harmonious and loving…”
Did he encounter Lou Ruozhi’s family?
After that night, she had someone look into Lou Ruozhi a bit and found out that after marrying Lou Guohui, she actually had another son, Jiang Yan’s half-brother from the same mother.
At this moment, Su He seemed to understand Jiang Yan’s emotions.
He and Jiang You lost their father when they were young, their mother left them and remarried, having another child with someone else.
Similarly, she lost her mother when she was young, and her father didn’t want her, marrying another woman and having children with her as well.
Oh, what a damned fate, indeed quite similar.
He longed for familial love, for his mother’s affection, but Lou Ruozhi never gave him complete maternal love, yet she could give it to someone else.
She also longed for her father’s doting, rather than abandonment, but unfortunately, it all ultimately turned into bubbles.
Maybe it was because she could empathize, she took the initiative to hold him and gently patted his back.
His hatred for Lou Ruozhi was probably not solely because she had left them behind; there might be other reasons, but he wouldn’t say, so she wouldn’t ask.
Moreover, his sudden emotional downturn was probably not just because of encountering Lou Ruozhi and her family.
In the living room on the first floor.
While playing, Jiang You suddenly exclaimed in alarm, “Oh no, I completely forgot what today is.”
Jiang Nanche and An Mi simultaneously turned to look at her, asking, “What day is it?”
Jiang You: “It’s my dad’s death anniversary.”
“…”
“You could forget that?
You really are something,” Jiang Nanche said incredulously.
“Shut up, you know I was barely a one-year-old baby at that time, how would I remember that?”
She hadn’t forgotten on purpose; she truly had no memory of her father.
Not just her deceased father, but even her still living mother, she felt no connection with.
In her world of kinship, there was only Grandpa and Grandma, and then her, now with a sister-in-law added.
Jiang You lifted her head, gazing towards the study on the second floor, “Every year on this day, it’s the saddest day for my brother.”
Today’s Jiang Yan was just like any other day, which was why Jiang You initially didn’t realize, and in previous years, he had always kept to himself, never letting anyone get close.
But suddenly a thought struck her.
Inside the study.
Jiang Yan had also mentioned it to Su He.
Su He was shocked.
It turned out the death anniversary of her mother was so close to his father’s.
She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Twenty-four years ago today, I was the one who insisted he should come to pick me up from school.
If I hadn’t insisted, that car accident might never have happened, he wouldn’t have died, and if the father hadn’t died, then maybe she wouldn’t have had to remarry.
Jiang You and I could have had a complete family.”
The man murmured into her ear, his head buried.
His voice was filled with a sense of breaking down, with deep self-blame and guilt.
Su He knew that he was attributing all the blame to himself.
She knew that no matter how much love Grandpa and Grandma gave them, it couldn’t heal the wounds in their hearts, and the same was true for herself.
She wanted to persuade him, but some truths are understood by everyone; they just aren’t willing to move forward, so no matter how much she said, it wouldn’t help.
“Jiang Yan, it’s not your fault, and you’re not without anything now.
You have Grandma and Jiang You, and me.
We won’t leave you, always by your side.”
“…”
An hour later.
She finally got her release.
Su He moved her body, twisted her neck, and stretched her slightly numb legs.
She was incredibly stood embraced by him for nearly an hour.
She relaxed her bones and complained, “If you wanted to embrace, couldn’t you have sat down?
It was exhausting.”
If he hadn’t let go of her, she really wouldn’t have been able to continue.
He talked to her a lot about his father, who would have known a talk a stand would take an hour.
And his condition obviously improved, so she had nothing to worry about.
She was just afraid he would get impulsive again and deal with her on the spot.
“Sorry, that was careless of me.
I’ll be more mindful next time,” Jiang Yan glanced at her somewhat awkwardly.
Su He: “?”
“You’re thinking there will be a next time?
Not a chance,” she glared at him and said irritably.
The man didn’t get angry but laughed instead.
He asked her, “Was everything you just said true?”
“Ah?” Su He blinked, “What true or false?”
Did she say something just now?
Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes, “You said you won’t leave me, and you also said you would always be by my side.”
Su He choked on her own saliva, “Cough cough…”
She gave a few awkward chuckles: “Did I say that?”
She was just trying to calm him down, but now…
“Yes.” The man spoke emphatically, “There’s surveillance in the study.
If you forget, I can pull it up for you to recall.”
Su He: “…”
That really wouldn’t be necessary.
Jiang Yan reached out to grab her shoulder, his gaze earnest: “Susu, let’s give it a try and be together, okay?
I know what you’re afraid of, and I’ve said, I won’t let that happen.
Trust me, okay?”
“I’m not forcing you to accept me, but I hope you won’t reject all my kindness towards you, can you do that?”
Su He knew he wasn’t just talking; his eyes were resolute and sincere.
But she…
The hesitation and conflict in her eyes were all seen by Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan said, “Don’t reject me.
After half a year, if you still don’t have feelings for me, then I can let go and let you leave.”
Su He’s pupils froze for a moment.
…
The next day.
After finishing her busy morning, Su He set out to deal with the hot search incident from yesterday.
She had asked Jiang Yan last night, and he was the one who had withdrawn the hot search.
Not only did he withdraw the hot search, but he also had lawyers send letters to everyone who had defamed her.
Of course, she found this out from Jiang Qi when she met him on the way out in the morning.
She had agreed to his proposition last night to give being together a try.
She told Jing Xuan immediately that night, and when Jing Xuan asked her why she agreed, she didn’t know why either; she didn’t have an answer herself, she just agreed.
Yesterday, Ella found the main culprit who was adding fuel to the flames online.
Jiang Yan found out too, but she said she would handle it herself.
The other party was just a net addict who frequented internet cafes.
When Su He arrived, Jiang Qi was already there waiting for her, “Young Madam, Master asked me to come and be with you for this.”
Su He wasn’t surprised and nodded, “Mhm.”
The man last night said, “You can handle it by yourself, but I will have someone accompany you, so I can be a little more at ease.”
–
Five minutes later.
In an alley next to the internet cafe.
“Ah…ah…it hurts…it hurts…big brother…go easy…ah…”
Screams echoed one after the other.
Su He leaned against the wall nearby, arms crossed, quietly watching the scene.
Jiang Qi looked at the man’s exaggerated screams and was speechless, “Stop shouting, what are you shouting for?
I’m not even hitting you.”
He was just pinching his wrist; was there any need for such an overreaction?
“Speak, who asked you to post those insulting messages about our Young Madam online?” Jiang Qi scolded.
“What Young Madam, what posts?” the man, disheveled and confused, asked.
He was in the internet cafe playing games just fine when suddenly he was dragged out.
“You still dare to play dumb?
I think you’re tired of living!” Jiang Qi tightened his grip on the man’s wrist.
“Ah…it hurts hurts hurts…big brother…”
Su He watched him with a cold eye and spoke up, “The hot search yesterday about a female doctor, you were behind it, weren’t you?”
Hearing this, the man’s eyes changed instantly.

He said, “What…what hot search, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Su He laughed disdainfully, “Is that so?
You don’t know?
Well then, let’s go to the police station, let the police uncle take another look.”
“Jiang Qi, take him to the police station,” Su He said.
Jiang Qi responded swiftly, “Alright, Young Madam, I’ll take him right away.”
With that, he pulled the man up.
The man on the ground panicked immediately, grabbing Jiang Qi’s hand with his other hand, “Hey hey, wait a second…”
He swallowed hard, his eyes somewhat frantic; he looked up at Su He.
“I…
I’ll talk, I’ll talk…
It wasn’t me who orchestrated it, someone sent me a message instructing me to do it, and afterwards, they gave me fifty thousand yuan.”
“But I don’t know who that person is, I just posted a part-time job ad online, willing to take on anything, and someone found me for this task.
It looked easy enough and the money was good, so I agreed.
But I really don’t know who it is, the number they used is untraceable, they just sent me the message.”
Su He slightly raised an eyebrow: “How did the person give you the money?”
The man replied: “Just now, near the flowerbeds of a small restaurant next to the internet café, the person texted me to go pick up the cash.
I didn’t see anyone.”
The man shivered under the stern gaze of Su He.
Su He touched the corner of her lips with her tongue, it seems the other party is quite cautious.
“Beautiful lady, I really don’t know who that person is, please let me go, sob…
I have elders above and children below…
I’m just trying to earn money, I had no ill intent…”
Jiang Qi found him noisy and scolded sharply: “Shut up!”
The man immediately clammed up.
Su He asked again: “What time did you go to get the money yesterday?”
“8:30 in the evening.”
“Where exactly did you pick up the money?
Take us there.”
“…”
The man led them on foot to the flowerbeds of the small restaurant, pointing to a corner, “Right here.”
Su He took a look and glanced around the surroundings.
Jiang Qi also scanned the surroundings for surveillance cameras, “Young Madam, this spot is out of the camera’s sight.”
So, the other party was indeed prepared.
The man took advantage of their distraction and ran off.
Jiang Qi wanted to give chase, but Su He stopped him, “Forget it, no need to chase.”
Su He looked across to the parking lot, where people who came to dine would likely park their cars.
“Jiang Qi, check the dashcams of the cars that were parked here yesterday.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qi looked towards the parking lot, realizing she had a point.
The fronts of these cars were facing this direction.
“Okay, I’ll go check right away.”
…
This Saturday.
She was originally planning to return to Beijing to visit her son.
Jiang You had also organized a so-called outdoor excursion, with a tourist resort in Beijing as the destination.
But Jiang Yan also went along, so she couldn’t leave to go back to the Su Family to see the little one.
Because if she went back, he would surely follow.
After arriving at their destination, they placed their luggage in the rooms they had arranged, as they were staying for one night.
In the group, besides them, there were Jiang Nanche, Gu Beiyan, and Long He Song.
An Mi didn’t come; she had to accompany Yang Jie in the hospital.
Yang Jie had also been moved out of the ICU yesterday, her mood still unstable, needing someone by her side.
She and Jing Xuan came out first and waited outside for the others.
Jing Xuan pulled Su He aside and asked in a low voice: “Susu, with how closely that guy is watching you, are you sure you’ll be able to see my godson?”
This was where Su He was feeling the headache.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was a call from Su Yimo; she had to answer it.
“Keep an eye out for anyone approaching, I need to take a call,” she told Jing Xuan.
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
As soon as she picked up the call, Su Yimo’s childish voice inquired: “Mommy, what time will you arrive?
Baobao will come to the gate to welcome you.”
Su He said softly: “Baby, mommy is already in Beijing, but I can’t leave right now.”
The quick-witted Su Baobao immediately guessed, “Mommy, did you come with my Old Antique dad?”
Su He really admired her son; she hadn’t said anything yet.
Sometimes she really suspected he had placed a tracker on her.
“Worthy of being my son, so smart.”
Su Baobao sighed and expressed understanding and sensibility: “Okay then, I’ll just wait until mommy can find some time to come and see Baobao.”
What Su He felt truly proud of was just how understanding and good-natured her son was, not creating a fuss.
“Good boy, mommy will escape as soon as I can to see you, now, give me a kiss.”
On the other end, Su Baobao immediately kissed his phone.
“Mwah~”
Su He returned the kiss.
And this very scene was witnessed by a man standing not too far away.
Although he couldn’t hear what was being said, he saw the gesture clearly, and understood what it meant.
“Ah Yan, ah,” Gu Beiyan teased him from the side: “Could it be that this sister-in-law has someone else behind your back?”
Just a moment ago, Su He had delivered a kiss to her phone, coupled with a very apparent smile on her face.
Honestly, Jiang Yan had never seen such a radiant smile on her face, so gentle and warm.
It wouldn’t be for anyone insignificant; normally, she was quite reserved.
So, who was on the other end of the phone?
After hanging up with his mother, Su Baobao’s round eyes twinkled as he blinked, then he turned and dialed another series of numbers.
“Little auntie~”
