Chapter 124 Bedtime Story
After carrying Xuanxuan into his room, Su Heng took the book from Xuanxuan, flipped through it casually, and frowned slightly: "Are you still reading this?"
Xuanxuan nodded repeatedly: "My mother bought it for me!"
Jiang Man stood at the door. Although this was his own home, he seemed a little uncomfortable at the moment. "Is there any problem?"
Su Heng raised the book in his hand and said, "You let a boy read Snow White, The Little Mermaid, and Aladdin?"
Jiang Man lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously scratching the edge of the door frame. "These are all classic fairy tales."
Su Heng put on a stern face, stuffed all the books under the bed, and said to Xuanxuan, "No fairy tales today. Uncle will tell you a new story."
"Really?" Xuanxuan was so excited that he almost jumped up, "That's great!"
Seeing her son's happy face, Jiang Man suddenly realized that the boy had been hugging her and saying "Mom's stories are the best" to coax her!
Su Heng covered Xuanxuan with the quilt, thought for a moment, and said, "Once upon a time, there was a young man who started out as a basic employee at a large company on Wall Street."
"Ah, I know, Wall Street is in New York, and New York belongs to the United States!" Xuanxuan couldn't wait to interrupt.
Jiang Man couldn't believe his ears. Su Heng was actually telling the story of "The Wolf of Wall Street" to a five-year-old child!
More than ten minutes later, seeing his son curled up in Su Heng's arms and already asleep, Jiang Man hurried forward to help lay him down gently, and then carefully covered him with a quilt.
The two walked out of the small room, and Jiang Man apologized repeatedly: "I'm really sorry, Xuanxuan rarely clings like this."
"It's okay." He walked into the kitchen as if he knew the place well, opened the refrigerator door, and poured himself a glass of ice water.
Jiang Man followed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children."
He glanced at her sideways and said, "I didn't expect that you would have such a big son."
Jiang Man choked, pursed his lips, and said, "I should have told you this earlier, but I felt it was unnecessary. After all, this is my private life. And I also concealed this fact in order to get into the company."
He walked up to her and stopped, "This is nothing to be ashamed of."
Jiang Man's body shook slightly, and he looked up at him, with a gleam in his eyes.
Although she never thought that there was anything shameful about this kind of thing, but when these words came out of his mouth, she inexplicably felt a sense of being understood.
The dim light shone on Jiang Man's face, adding a touch of gentleness to her.
Su Heng stared at her and asked directly, "Have you and Lu Ziyin reunited?"
Hearing this, Jiang Man was stunned and shook his head slightly, "Why do you ask?"
"Then why does he often pick you up at the company gate after get off work?" There was a hint of questioning in his tone.
Jiang Man frowned, lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he whispered, "No matter what he thinks, I can't go back to my old life, and I can't choose the person I used to live with."
What's more, she has Xuanxuan, and she will never let her son suffer any injustice!
"Then who do you want to choose now?" His eyelids raised slightly, with an aggressive aura.
Feeling a little flustered, Jiang Man didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Perhaps it was because the light was too soft and the person was too warm, Su Heng suddenly lowered his head and gently rested his forehead against hers.
His eyes seemed to have magic, which attracted her involuntarily. He lowered his head lower and lower, almost kissing Jiang Man's lips.
The sound of the door lock turning suddenly rang in my ears.
"Sister, I'm back." Jiang Lu's voice sounded outside the door.
Jiang Man was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses in an instant. A blush appeared on his face and he quickly took a step back.
Su Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked coldly at Jiang Lu who appeared at the door, with obvious displeasure in his eyes.
Jiang Lu walked in and saw Su Heng. She froze in her tracks: "Boss Su?! Why are you at my sister's house?"
Then, she bit her lip, feeling extremely annoyed! Damn it, why did she agree to go out singing with Sun Yong? She missed such a good opportunity to be alone with President Su!
Su Heng grabbed his coat and looked at Jiang Man, "I'm leaving."
Not understanding the meaning of his deep eyes, Jiang Man just nodded slightly, looking as if she really wanted him to leave quickly.
Su Heng narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.
Jiang Lu quickly said, "Boss Su, let me take you there!"
"No need."
Su Heng was decisive and pulled the slow-witted woman over, saying without hesitation, "You take me there!"
Jiang Man maintained a stiff smile, "You are not a three-year-old child, how could you not know the way?"
He glared at her and said, "I'm afraid of the dark, is that okay?"
He had already said so, how could she refute it?
Looking at the two people's backs gradually going away, Jiang Lu stamped her feet in dissatisfaction. She really did not expect that her sister who looked so dull and quiet could be so adept at teasing men!
Gritting her teeth, she reached into her bag, took out her cell phone, and flipped through the photos she had secretly taken at the swimming pool today, with a sneer on her lips.
Early in the morning, Jiang Man packed up as usual and prepared to go to work.
Jiang Lu followed behind her and shouted in surprise, "Sister, look!"
Jiang Man stopped and turned around curiously.
Jiang Lu handed the phone to her. On the screen was an anonymous post. The picture in the post was the scene of Su Heng performing artificial respiration on Chloe yesterday. The title read "President Su rekindles his love with his first love, kissing passionately by the pool."
Jiang Man stared blankly at the screen of her mobile phone, as if there was a hand in her heart, tightly grasping her heart.
Her breathing was a little rapid. She pressed the lock screen button, returned the phone to Jiang Lu, and forced a smile. "When you get to the company, don't talk about these gossips, and don't discuss your boss's private life. It's never good."
Jiang Lu's eyes flashed with a subtle smugness, and she nodded obediently: "Oh, I understand!"
Jiang Man turned around, put on his shoes, and felt very upset.
"Chairman Su, are the photos circulating online true?" As soon as Su Zeqi went out early in the morning, he was surrounded by reporters.
He looked up at the reporter and asked, "What photo?"
The reporter quickly handed over the phone, and Su Zeqi took a look and found that it was the scandal between Su Heng and Chloe.
He naturally knew Chloe. She came from a prominent family and was now a well-known jewelry designer who worked closely with President Su. Compared to that Jiang Man, she was countless times better.
If this is true, Su Zeqi will naturally be happy to hear it.
Returning the phone to the reporter, he nodded slowly and said with a pleasant expression, "They grew up together and have always had a good relationship. My son once declared that he would marry no one else but her."
