Heartwarming Aristocratic Marriage: Influential Master’s Wife-Chasing Strategy - Chapter 523

Chapter 523 Counterattack (2)

Tang Jingci didn’t dare to move. From the corner of her eye, she could see a certain someone’s high nose bridge. When he turned his head, she could kiss his face. Why did he suddenly get so close?!

“When did you start applying hand oil?” Qiao Xiyan looked straight ahead. His breathing was steady, but his voice was hoarse from smoking for a long time. He had just finished exercising, and there was a faint smell of sweat on his body…

It was the hormonal scent unique to men!

It was so strong that it made her legs go weak. “When I was ten years old.” Tang Jingci curled herself up, trying her best to avoid physical contact with him.

“Do your hands hurt?”

“They’re fine…”

“The skin on your hands is almost worn out.”

“If a girl’s hands are full of calluses, it will be difficult for her to find a partner in the future…” Tang Jingci was also a girl. She also hoped that her entire body would be fair and tender. Not only were the calluses rough, but her entire hands would also look heavy.

“A man who really likes you won’t care about your hands.” Qiao Xiyan put down the knife and tilted his head to look at her. His scorching breath landed on her face, making her tremble.

“Tang Jingci, don’t think that you can write off what happened that night just because you gave me a set of knives. I know you remember…”

Tang Jingci stiffened.

Her heart was trembling from nervousness, but he was pressing closer and closer. She had no way out. The man’s aura was too strong.

Normally, Tang Jingci would have kicked him. But now that she had made a mistake, she could only endure it.

“Don’t think about dismissing it so easily… “You didn’t sleep all night yesterday. Rest well, and then…” Qiao Xiyan put down the carving knife and reached out to press her shoulder. Her heart skipped a beat. “Give me an explanation!” “What happened that night…” Tang Jingci was still pretending to be stupid.

“You don’t remember?” Qiao Xiyan rubbed the stone.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Come find me after you rest. I’ll tell you exactly what happened.”

The man’s laughter was low and pressed against her ear, making her heart palpitate wildly. It was killing her!

With that, Qiao Xiyan turned to leave.

Before leaving, he put away the carving knives and thanked her.

Only after hearing the door close did Tang Jingci come back to her senses. She lowered her head and knocked it against the table twice.

It’s already been a few days. Why is he still conflicted about this? Besides, as a man, he didn’t lose anything. Is there a need to be so calculative?!

How am I going to explain it? Tang Jingci let out a long sigh. When she looked up, she saw the cursive characters on the stone.

The strokes were wild as they wrote the words ‘Tang Jingci’. She reached out to rub the stone, and a small splash appeared in her heart.

He learned cursive. His handwriting is really nice.

On the other side, Duan Linbai didn’t go home to rest directly. Instead, he went back to the company to find someone to implement the various suggestions proposed by Tang Jingci.

“Draw up new details today and send them to my inbox!” Although Duan Linbai was a night owl, he never stayed up until daybreak. He was already exhausted.

He was worried that his parents would scold him if he went home, so he hid at Jing Hanchuan’s house to catch up on sleep.

“Hanchuan, I’m about to die of exhaustion. Wake me up before dinner!” Duan Linbai went straight to the guest room without even taking off his clothes.

Duan Linbai slept until he woke up naturally. He looked at the time and saw that it was already past four in the afternoon. He took a quick shower and went downstairs to find something to eat. He was extremely hungry.

Before getting downstairs, he heard Fu Chen’s voice. Yo, why is this guy here?

Duan Linbai rushed downstairs and found that Fu Sinian and Yu Manxi were both here. “Why is everyone here?”

“To discuss something.” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.

“What are you talking about? There are so many people here.” Duan Linbai yawned, picked up the orange on the table, peeled it, and started eating.

“We need Hanchuan’s help with Sinian and Little Yu’s wedding venue.” “Which venue? Can’t your family handle it?” Duan Linbai asked casually. “Actually, our family has a place suitable for marriage. Unfortunately, the two of you don’t like it.” “Lingnan.” After Fu Chen finished speaking, Duan Linbai almost choked on the orange.

“Third Fu, aren’t you getting our Little Sixth Jing to die?!” Yu Manxi didn’t know what was going on and was confused. She and Fu Sinian had tried to contact that family, but it didn’t work out. They didn’t want to ask Old Master Fu for help with the venue either. It wasn’t right to make him worry.

Moreover, if Old Master Fu opened his mouth, it would be fine if the family agreed. But if they didn’t, Old Master Fu wouldn’t have anywhere to put his face. Fu Chen said that they could find Jing Hanchuan. He would definitely be able to contact that family.
