Chapter 8 The Only Wife

"Because I'm getting divorced from Master in a month." She explained, not avoiding the subject at all.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi instantly felt like they had pins and needles.

After Su He finished speaking, she was the first to bend down and get into the car.

Not caring about the expressions on these people's faces.

Jiang Yan looked at the woman's slender back, feeling quite helpless in his heart.

Jiang Feng raised his hand and slapped his own mouth, "Serves you right for asking nosy questions."

Jiang Qi gave him a comforting, albeit limited, sympathetic glance.

Throughout the trip, the air inside the car was as if solidified, dead silent.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi tried to minimize their presence, even their breathing was cautious.

Taoyao Inn.

The most comprehensive culinary paradise for Yue City cuisine.

But trying to dine here is like seeking a coveted seat.

Almost every day the place is fully booked.

But there are always those who have special privileges.

Like the one in front of us, Young Master Jiang from the An Family.

And he's even personally served by the manager.

Inside the private room.

After Su He sat down, she just lowered her head, idly picking at her fingertips, and also pondered how to get through the next month, to smoothly get divorced without any upsetting incidents like today.

She might not understand her legal husband, but her good friend Jiang You does.

Before she returned to the country, her friend had given her a briefing on Jiang Yan's style of doing things.

And after coming into contact with him on the previous two days, she found that her so-called husband was emotionally unstable and often spoke nonsensical words for some unknown reason.

Therefore, Jiang Yan insisting on waiting another month before divorcing and wanting her to be obedient means he would definitely try to 'torment' her.

So, she definitely needs to keep a distance to reduce the chance of interaction.

God forbid he discovers Xixi's existence, wouldn't that just...

"What do you want to eat?"

While she was pondering, suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by a deep voice.

She looked up, glanced at the man opposite her and said casually, "Anything's fine, I'm not picky."

After speaking, she lowered her head again and continued to immerse herself in her own world.

The man glanced at her, said nothing, and proceeded to order.

Not until the dishes arrived, the fragrance assailed the nostrils.

Su He's thoughts were drawn back.

She glanced at the dishes in front of her, spicy chicken, stir-fried pork with hot peppers, boiled pork slices, braised pork, mapo tofu, steamed shrimp...

All were major dishes, and almost all of them were spicy.

A sparkle suddenly lit up at the bottom of her eyes.

Abruptly, she looked towards Jiang Yan across the table, frowning slightly.

Could it be that he also likes spicy food?

But that's not right, she clearly remembers Jiang You saying that he can't eat spicy food.

So, did he order this for her?

No way, right?

He couldn't possibly know her preferences.

To be honest, she hadn't truly spent a full day with him.

"President Jiang, you like spicy food?" Su He asked casually.

Jiang Yan really disliked her way of addressing him, too distant.

With an unchanged expression and all seriousness, he said, "Call me Jiang Yan, or Ah Yan, or husband."

Su He was speechless: "..."

What the hell?

When she met his abyss-like dark pupils, she decisively made a choice, "I'll choose the first one."

A flicker of disappointment crossed the man's eyes, but it was fleeting.

Jiang Yan composed himself, his tone was indifferent but carried an imperceptible warmth, "Eat. I don't like spicy food, but I know you like it."

'Duang!'

Su He felt as if she had been hit by something, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

She was surprised, actually guessed it right.

Seeming to guess her bewilderment, he explained a little, also with a bit of thoughtfulness.

Hoping she would understand she was special to him.

"You are my only wife, understanding your dietary preferences is my responsibility, something I should do."

Su He: "..."

Why does she feel like he's implying something about her?

Because she had never thought about getting to know him.

What a pity, Jiang Yan's little thoughts were completely lost on a certain woman.

Su He coughed lightly and said, "Jiang Yan, aren't you afraid Miss Tang will get jealous when she hears what you've said?"

She really did not want to deal with a woman's jealousy.

What if Tang Sirou overheard and got the wrong idea, and came to trouble her then?

Jiang Yan: "..."

He looked at the woman in front of him with a cold face, and for a moment, he really wanted to crack open her head to see what was inside.

He being around other women didn't make her jealous, but now she's worried that other women might get jealous over his kindness to her.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Qi, who were nearby, sensed that the atmosphere was off and both quietly stepped back.

They were also impressed with the way their lady's mind worked.

How did she manage to bring Miss Tang into this?

Outsiders might not know about the Five Master's affair with Miss Tang, but the two of them did.

Although Five Master and Miss Tang were familiar with each other, the two had never been alone together, always in the company of others.

But one thing that really puzzled them was that the Five Master had never formally denied the rumors about him and Miss Tang's affair.

As to why, they had no clue.

But there was one thing they could say for certain: Five Master had not a shred of romantic interest in Miss Tang.

Perhaps it was more about a promise.

"Let's eat!"

With a darkened face, the man coldly spat two words.

Su He watched his sudden change in mood, puzzled.

What's wrong with him now?

Why did he suddenly get angry again?

Men are such strange creatures, especially like Jiang Yan.

At least her son, when he's upset, still manages to be cute and lovely.

Su He really enjoyed this meal.

She was completely unaffected.

On the other hand, a certain someone only ate a few bites of rice and some greens.

He barely touched any other dishes.

But Su He didn't care about that.

Because, she knew, he wouldn't starve to death.

Before leaving, Su He made a trip to the restroom.

While washing her hands at the washstand, someone suddenly called out behind her: "Su He?"

Su He looked up at the sound, seeing An Xueyin standing behind her through the mirror in front of her.

Her eyes lingered on that face for a second before moving away.

She stood upright, reached for the paper towel beside her, dried her hands, and turned to head for the door.

Completely ignoring the person behind her.

The An Family didn't know Su He had returned.

So when An Xueyin saw her, she was shocked.

After the shock, seeing how she was being ignored, she felt very irked.

"Stop right there!" An Xueyin stepped forward and directly reached out to block her.

Su He stopped, her eyes cold as she looked down slightly at the person blocking her path.

An Xueyin's height of 165 centimeters was not considered short among women, but in front of Su He, who was 171 centimeters tall, she fell way short.

Moreover, Su He had a kind of unspecified oppressing presence about her.

Causing An Xueyin to be dazed for several seconds.

Su He crossed her arms, a lazy yet elegantly amused smile appearing on her attractive face.

An Xueyin had to admit, Su He was very beautiful.

But the next second, a hint of scorn and disdain flashed in her eyes.

No matter how beautiful, what does it matter?

She's still just a good-for-nothing raised by the Su Family, ha!

Just a pretty shell, nothing more.

Su He didn't miss that contemptuous look in her eyes, but it was none of her concern.

"Weren't you abroad? What are you doing back?" An Xueyin arrogantly and rudely said to her: "What? Couldn't stand staying abroad anymore?"

Su He looked at her emotionlessly, not opening her mouth to speak.

"Have you turned mute after a trip abroad?"

She could not stand Su He's indifference towards her, "Su He, didn't your mother teach you how to behave? Don't you even know the basic courtesy of responding to someone's question?"

'Slap!'

"Ah..."

A deafening slap and a scream echoed throughout the restroom.
