I reached home, feeling extremely tired and soon fell asleep.
I woke up again when felt an itching sensation on my face. I opened my eyes to find Jiang Li kissing me lightly.
Jiang Li seeing that I had woke up, laughed at me. "Guan Xiao Yan, miss me?" He asked while undoing my pajamas buttons.
I closed my eyes and said lightly. "Jiang Li, I am very tired."
He stopped his actions, lay down on the bed, hugged me in his arms and took a deep breath, said. "Sleep then."
I lay in his arms and muttered. "Jiang Li, what are you busy with?"
He replied. "Recently, the company has a problem but you don't have to worry......wait until I settle this, I will keep you company."
Me: "Oh."
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
Recently, I have more or less been avoiding Jiang Li. I did not know how to face him and did not even had the courage to ask him whether he was having an affair.
Because I was afraid his answer would be 'Yes.'
Suddenly I remembered Xue Yun Feng, had once said to me. "Jiang Li had chosen you, so that means his taste is bad."
Now thinking about it, I could only smile. Perhaps, Jiang Li's taste was not bad after all. Maybe he was just.......toying with me?
This thought lodged heavily in my heart, like a big stone pressing down heavily, making it difficult for me to breathe. In particular, when I thought of Xue Hong's flirtatious face, hot body, her striking character and her prominent family background.......it was said that her father was a well-known domestic entrepreneur and a major shareholder of a company.
He Zi said that either Jiang Li was mesmerized by the woman or mesmerized by her money.
Whether it was woman or money, whichever, in short, he was hooked.
I really did not understand why Xue Hong and I, were always at odds with each other or could our animosity date back to our ancestral times? Why did she always try to snatch my man? Moreover, she never leaves me any space to counterattack.
Thinking about this, I could not help but felt sad. Anyway, it was pointless to blame anyone except blame myself for not being incapable of holding on to Jiang Li.
***#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#***
The weather in spring was very unpredictable. It has turned warm again. These days the weather was like my mood.....hazy, very hazy.
Today is Saturday. After breakfast, Jiang Li proposed we go out for a stroll.
We walked for a while in the district garden and sat down on the bamboo chairs by the flower beds to rest.
The weather is cold today. Trembling, I shrank in my windbreaker.
Suddenly Jiang Li said. "Guan Xiao Yan, are you cold?"
My teeth were chattering but I shook my head.
He laughed. "If you are cold, come into my arms."
I bowed my head and did not move.
Jiang Li pulled me into his arms and held me tightly. Stroking my hair, he said. "Guan Xiao Yan, do you have anything to say to me?"
My heart sank, lying motionless in his arms.
He sighed and said. "Since we are husband and wife, do we have to keep guessing what each other is thinking? Do you think I did not notice that you are acting abnormally these days?"
I was angry, stared at him and retorted. "Aren't you the one who is acting abnormally?"
He lifted his eyebrows. "Is it?"
I dropped my eye-lids and said. "Jiang Li, I saw you with Xue Hong."
He tightened his grip on my hand. "You followed me?"
I bowed my head which silently indicated my admittance.
Suddenly Jiang Li laughed, evidently he was in a good mood. He brushed my bangs aside and planted a light kiss on my forehead, laughingly said. "So you have been feeling jealous for the last few days?"
I blushed, nodded my head. In fact, it was not as simple as being jealous.
Laughing like a fox, he said. "Guan Xiao Yan, although I feel a bit distressed but I really like the jealous look on your face."
With my head bowed, I was at a loss.
Jiang Li held me in his arms and whispered into my ear. "Don't worry, except for you, I'm not interested in any other women." He paused and then added. "Especially the scheming kind."
Although placated by his sweet words which made my cheeks flushed but I still retained some form of reasoning. Feeling ill at ease, I asked. "Then, why were the two of you having dinner together? How do you explain that?"
He answered. "It is because our company has run into a problem. Her father is the major shareholder of Ai Rui which our company has some business dealings with."
Me: "Even if your company has business dealings with them......still you do not need to give my cell phone number to her."
He looked at me in puzzlement. "I gave your cell phone number to her? How is that possible? I truly wish the whole world does not know your phone number, except me!"
Me: "But she said you gave it to her."
His face showed displeasure and pinched my face, saying. "Considering her character, do you believe her?"
I nodded and what he said was also true. "But how did Xue Hong get hold of my number?"
Jiang Li said. "My silly wife. Her father is the major shareholder of Ai Rui and if she wanted your number, do you think it would be difficult for her to find out? Why don't you change your number, then I will be the only one to know?"
I shook my head. Forget it, this is unrealistic.
Jiang Li started to give me ideas on how to deal with her. "It is alright. If she looks for you again, you can scold or curse her using whatever form of language you like. I don't mind that my wife is a bitch."
I was amused by his words and laughed. The haze hanging over the last few days were swept away.
Then he said. "In fact, that day, when you saw us dining together, you could have jumped out and splashed red wine on her face."
I shook my head. "She will hit me. She is a taekwondo black belt."
He solemnly replied. "Don't worry. You have me, I will protect you."
I was touched by his words and snuggled into his arms.
He added. "I promise you, she cannot hit you but you can hit her."
Me: "....."
Jiang Li, you are so bad! But I like it so much.......
