Chapter 205: New Big Brother
After walking out of S City People’s Hospital, Su Wan saw the black Koenigsegg Agera R by the road side at one glance.
Su Wan had never seen Jiang Xuecheng driving other cars. This man was rich but he was unlike other rich men who would change their luxury cars every three to five days.
Su Wan sat at the co-driver’s seat. She looked at the interior of the car which did not have any decoration. Suddenly, she pursed her lips and laughed.
This car was exactly like its owner. It was extremely simple but attracted more attention.
“Wan Wan, what are you laughing at?”
Jiang Xuecheng’s calm voice sounded and scared Su Wan who was immersed in her own world out of her wits.
Before Su Wan could respond, Jiang Xuecheng came nearer. Su Wan was caught off guard and clung tightly to the seat.
The s.p.a.ce in the car was not huge. Jiang Xuecheng put one palm on the seat and looked down at her from above.
Su Wan’s heartbeat sped up suddenly. She smiled awkwardly and felt the air had reduced by half because of the intervention of Jiang Xuecheng.
Su Wan raised her head slightly and met Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face. It was still perfect without flaws. His eyes were like the deep sea or the stars. His nose was high and his thin lips were indifferent and beautiful.
Jiang Xuecheng lowered his head slightly and planted a light kiss on Su Wan’s lips.
That warmth lasted for a fleeting moment. Before Su Wan could really feel it, Jiang Xuecheng’s lips had left hers.
“Wan Wan, don’t make me worry in the future.”
Jiang Xuecheng stared steadily at Su Wan. His voice flowed through Su Wan’s heart like a gentle stream.
Su Wan could hear her own chaotic heart rhythm. She answered softly, “Mm.”
Until now, Su Wan couldn’t figure out why she would attract a fatal disaster. Hence, she did not take any precautions this morning.
She must indeed be more careful when she went out next time. She was a greedy person. She still wanted to live for a very long time.
As she had promised Xu Ziyao, Su Wan wanted to live a good life with Jiang Xuecheng, to raise their children together. She wished they would have a son and a daughter where their son would look like him and daughter would look like her.
When the children grew up, Su Wan would let go and allow them to fly. By then, she and Jiang Xuecheng could be an old couple with a life pursuit, traveling around the world together and seeing different places.
Jiang Xuecheng finally let go of his hand holding Su Wan’s seat. He turned and returned to his own seat.
When the figure in front of him disappeared, the air seemed to be abundant again. Su Wan took in a light breath. She saw Jiang Xuecheng starting the engine and couldn’t help reminding him.
“Don’t forget to fasten your seat belt.”
Jiang Xuecheng smiled. His lips curved up to a beautiful radian. He pulled the safety belt and buckled it.
On their way back to Di Chen Group’s headquarters, Su Wan suddenly recalled Lu Qingyu’s words before they left.
“What’s so special about the auction on the cruise s.h.i.+p mentioned by Lu Qingyu?”
Why did Lu Qingyu repeatedly stress on this?
Jiang Xuecheng darted Su Wan a glance. When she saw her doubtful look, Jiang Xuecheng started to explain to Su Wan.
“The Lu family’s cruise s.h.i.+p auction is an annual event. It is an important part of their profiteering chain. Once the transaction is successful, the Lu family will charge a ten percent commission. Think about it, if the turnover of the collectibles is one hundred million dollars, they can easily make ten million dollars without any effort.”
Su Wan was left speechless. This was indeed a profiteering industry but an average businessman wouldn’t be able to hold such an auction.
The Lu family had many acquaintances. They stood in the semi-gray area where they would solicit the sellers from various ways and promise the buyers that the collectibles were authentic.
“That means Lu Qingyu is trying to cheat us of our money?”
Su Wan thought about it and suddenly a brilliant idea came up. “Should we pick something cheap, then?”
Jiang Xuecheng laughed and thought Su Wan was naïvely cute.
He shook his head and a light flashed through his eyes.
“The auction is divided into three sections and they are held independently. The top layer of the cruise s.h.i.+p is the most luxurious one of the three. If Lu Qingyu invites us there, do you think he will place us at the bottom two layers?”
Su Wan glanced at Jiang Xuecheng’s deep eyes and touched her head. “Alright, then, we’ll have to act according to circ.u.mstances.”
“Wan Wan, this is small matter. He rescued you and it doesn’t matter if it’s a daylight robbery. You’re like a treasure bestowed to me by heaven and you’re priceless. I will not exchange you for anything.
The man’s voice was simple and indifferent, as if uttering something uninteresting.
However, Su Wan’s body shook tremendously and the string of her heart seemed to have been hooked for a moment. What followed was the feeling of warmth.
When Su Wan regained her senses, she sighed. It turns out that this man’s love prattle was top-notch. Just a casual sentence could bring about such a huge impact!
Su Wan gazed into Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes. A pair of eyes shone deeply and she smiled, showing her two shallow dimples. She looked extremely sweet.
“You’re the same in my heart.”
***
There were many cars on the way back. Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan did not have lunch. So, they found a restaurant along the road and hastily had their lunch.
At about 2.30pm in the afternoon, Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng arrived at Di Chen’s headquarters.
The minute Su Wan walked into the building, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the couch.
The man was wearing gold framed gla.s.ses. With one hand supporting his head, he was reading a business magazine attentively. He looked gentle and n.o.ble, just like a modest young master.
It was Jiang Xuecheng’s good friend, Tang Yifeng!
When she thought of the label ‘polished scoundrel’ that she had given Tang Yifeng, Su Wan pursed her lips and held back her laughter.
She trailed behind Jiang Xuecheng, toward Tang Yifeng. When Tang Yifeng heard sounds of footsteps, he raised his head immediately and smiled at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan.
“Both of you are finally back.”
Seeing Tang Yifeng’s smile, Su Wan’s mouth twitched, the thought of ‘he’s a polished scoundrel’ appeared in her mind once again.
Cough, cough. Su Wan felt Tang Yifeng looked better when he didn’t smile. When he smiled, his temperament was similar to that of Lu Qingyu.
Jiang Xuecheng nodded faintly while Su Wan smiled, “h.e.l.lo Mr. Tang. I won’t disturb you and Xuecheng. I’ll go up first?”
Tang Yifeng raised his brows slightly, “Su Wan, you and Xuecheng celebrated my birthday with me. Till now, you still call me Mr. Tang. Isn’t it too distant?”
Su Wan awkwardly pursed her lips. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng as if seeking help. Then, her eyes s.h.i.+fted back to Tang Yifeng.
“Then, shall I call you Brother Tang?”
