Chapter 414: Jiang Xuecheng Is Paranoid
In S City, the most prosperous commercial street was bustling with people.
At the corner of this street, there was a boutique of a handmade luxury brand. It was famous for its elegant design and was widely loved by socialites.
At this moment, Jiang Xuecheng was sitting inside. His eyes were quiet, and his slender fingers were gently flipping through a fas.h.i.+on magazine.
Lu Xiao hung up the evening gown in her hand again, and then looked at Jiang Xuecheng with a smile.
“Young master, I didn’t expect you to be so engrossed in reading the magazines. Is it to change your taste?”
Jiang Xuecheng stood up and glanced at Lu Xiao indifferently.
“It’s just to pa.s.s time.”
Lu Xiao shrugged and was about to say something when she suddenly heard the door of the fitting room open with a creak.
Jiang Xuecheng was also stunned. His eyes flashed and he immediately put down the fas.h.i.+on magazine in his hand. He raised his head and looked forward.
Soon, a slender figure appeared in his line of sight.
He had never seen Su Wan in a cheongsam, but today, he saw that she looked very beautiful in a cheongsam.
As soon as he saw her, he could not take his eyes off her.
A trace of surprise flashed across his cold eyes.
The white and blue cla.s.sic cheongsam fitted her perfectly, as if it had specially been designed for Su Wan. The design of the waist was very exquisite, outlining Su Wan’s exquisite waist line and showing off her beautiful figure.
She looked gentle, magnanimous, elegant and bewitching.
Jiang Xuecheng’s mother, Xu Ziyao, loved to wear the cheongsam. Perhaps it was because they were a little estranged from each other that Jiang Xuecheng had always disliked girls who wore the cheongsam. However, after seeing Su Wan today, his opinion changed.
Everything about her was good, no matter what.
Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He was about to say that this was good, but suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. The surprise in his eyes disappeared, and his expression instantly turned cold.
Su Wan had been with Jiang Xuecheng for a long time, so she naturally noticed the slight change in his expression.
“Xuecheng, don’t you think this is nice?”
Su Wan’s eyes couldn’t help but widen. She walked toward Jiang Xuecheng, and her voice was filled with doubt.
“There’s something wrong with the slit design of this cheongsam.”
Jiang Xuecheng said this calmly, then turned to Lu Xiao, “Change it.”
“Is there a problem with the design? No… Sister Lu, do you find anything wrong?”
Su Wan looked down and didn’t find anything wrong. Weren’t cheongsams all like this?
Lu Xiao rolled her eyes helplessly and said to Su Wan, “It’s your CEO who is too rigid. The slit of the cheongsam should be like this to look good! If the cheongsam doesn’t show the legs, how can it show the wearer’s figure and temperament?”
With Lu Xiao’s explanation, Su Wan finally came to her senses.
The slit of the cheongsam was indeed quite bold. As she walked, her slender and smooth legs were perfectly displayed.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Lu Xiao’s words, he immediately snorted coldly.
“Nonsense! My mother isn’t like this.”
Xu Ziyao wore the cheongsam almost every day in summer, but which one had such a high slit?
The slit was all around her knees.
“Young master, you’re a few years younger than me, but you’re an old fogey within. What’s your mother’s age, and what’s Miss Su’s age? She’s young and beautiful, so what’s wrong if she wears a cheongsam with a slightly higher slit?”
When Su Wan saw that Lu Xiao and Jiang Xuecheng were about to argue, and neither of them was giving way to the other, countless wild stallions raced through her heart.
Su Wan looked at the two people in front of her speechlessly. She was going to convince Jiang Xuecheng, but seeing that his face was as cold as a stone, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Su Wan knew that this man was actually very possessive. She knew it from the day she first came to Lu Xiao’s shop to buy an evening gown.
Even the most basic strapless evening gown needed a shawl. What else could she say?
Fortunately, Su Wan’s taste in clothing was also conservative. Otherwise, the two of them would have argued for a long time just over the dress.
Su Wan frowned and took the lead to give up on trying to convince Jiang Xuecheng. She asked Lu Xiao obediently.
“Sister Lu, do you have cheongsams with a more conservative slit?”
Lu Xiao glanced at Su Wan unhappily, “No, my shop mainly makes evening gowns. Cheongsams are rare, and they are all with high slits.”
As Lu Xiao spoke, she winked at Su Wan and whispered into her ear, “It’s not that I want to say it, but your CEO is really paranoid. The gown with the shawl last time was too much. This time, he’s even picky about the cheongsam. How can you stand him?”
Su Wan smiled when she heard that and shook her head gently at Lu Xiao, but she smiled without saying anything.
A husband and a wife should embrace one another.
She was not used to the strong possessiveness of Jiang Xuecheng at first, but after she got used to it, she began to enjoy it.
That was because she liked him, and he liked her. Since they liked each other, and it was not a matter of principle, why was there a need to be so calculative?
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Lu Xiao say that there was only this kind of cheongsam in the shop, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
He stood up and walked toward Su Wan, “Wan Wan, since there’s no suitable cheongsams here, why don’t we go to another shop?”
Lu Xiao pursed her lips when she heard that. Her beautiful eyes, which were covered with eyeliner, focused on Jiang Xuecheng.
“Young master, why do you have to buy a cheongsam? Can’t you buy a western-style evening gown?”
Su Wan looked at Lu Xiao’s puzzled face and smiled at her as she explained, “I’m planning to play the Guqin as a birthday gift at the birthday banquet, so it’s more appropriate to wear a cheongsam.”
Wearing Chinese traditional clothing while playing the Guqin would be a better choice. It would be weird to change clothes midway.
Taking the middle ground, only the cheongsam could be used as a dinner gown. At the same time, there was no need to change clothes while playing the Guqin, and that could save a lot of time.
Lu Xiao nodded. Only then did she understand why they wanted to buy the cheongsam.
***
When Lu Xiao saw Jiang Xuecheng about to drag Su Wan out, she shrugged with a calm expression.
“Don’t blame me for not telling you. The boutiques here sell mostly cheongsams with high slit. The birthday banquet is about to start tonight, so it’s not easy to make a conservative cheongsam for Miss Su.”
Su Wan’s footsteps stopped, and she reached out to block Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, why don’t we choose that white and blue cheongsam just now? It matches the pearl necklace you bought me a few days ago.”
Xuecheng looked at Su Wan. Her bright and gentle smile was reflected in his eyes, making it difficult for Xuecheng to not give in.
After a long while, Su Wan still looked at him like this. The hope in her eyes was self-evident.
Xuecheng sighed. He gazed past Su Wan and unhappily glanced at the white and blue cheongsam in Lu Xiao’s shop.
In the end, he gave in.
Jiang Xuecheng stroked Su Wan’s hair, and his voice was filled with helplessness.
“Okay, but don’t do it again.”
Jiang Xuecheng would feel uncomfortable as long as the thought that others would also look at Su Wan’s beautiful figure, arose.
Her beauty should only be treasured by him.
