"What's so strange about it? I suddenly had a pang of conscience and decided to give you a little favor from Mrs. Jiang. You take advantage and then act all innocent; I'm talking about people like you!"
This woman really wasn't worth any sympathy or pity; he was just being unnecessary!
"You..." She shot him a cold glare, grinding her teeth before turning away, taking a deep breath and deciding not to argue with him any further.
Although she lost face today, at least Jiang Chengmu's attitude was decent. While defending Lu Manqing, he didn't go too hard on her, so she felt somewhat relieved.
As for being so embarrassed in front of Xue Yiyang... well, they were already unrelated people. No matter how embarrassed she was, it had nothing to do with him anymore. Caring so much only proved that she still had feelings for him, and such feelings would only trap her in an inescapable vortex.
Grabbing a cushion from the back seat, Jiang Chengmu squinted and leaned against the seat, lazily asking, "How did you know I was coming back today?"
He had been on a business trip these past few days. When she called that day, he happened to be inspecting a construction site with his subordinates. She thought he was visiting someone; anyway, she always thought that way, and he couldn't be bothered to explain further.
"Your mom asked me to come pick you up. Who knew you were coming back with your lover? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come! Interrupting Jiang Shao's romantic affairs really makes me feel bad!"
"Do you have to speak so sarcastically? I just happened to be on the same flight as her; why do you make it sound so terrible?" It was indeed a coincidence, but he knew that once he got to her side, it would be nearly impossible to clarify his relationship with Lu Manqing.
"This has nothing to do with me. You don't need to explain anything to me. Who you choose to be with is your own business; there's no need to report it to me."
"..." Normally, he would always dominate their arguments; why was he letting her have the upper hand this time?
Sure enough, something was off about him today!
Originally, she planned to send him home and part ways, but Jiang Chengmu insisted on exercising his nature as a wealthy young master and wanted her to accompany him for dinner. At the restaurant, he treated her like a servant, even tossing a card at her to pay the bill without bothering to say a word. It was unclear whether he was genuinely tired or just wanted to mess with her.
After leaving the restaurant, Green Qi got into the car and turned to look at the man in the passenger seat. She reached into his pocket for his wallet. The man, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide and tensed up, looking at her warily. "What are you doing?"
"What do you think? I'm just returning your card!" She held up the Gold Card in her hand. Realizing something was off about his expression, she tilted her head and looked at him curiously, raising an eyebrow in disdain. "You don't think I want to do something to you, do you?"
"What else would you be doing? I thought after all these days of me being away, you were so eager that you couldn't wait to make a move on me here!"
"Get lost!" Upon hearing his absurd teasing, Green Qi's face flushed red. She raised her hand and slapped the card against his face. "I'm not one of those women you play around with outside. No matter how desperate I might be, I wouldn't go after a man like you who flits from flower to flower. If I accidentally catch something, who am I supposed to seek justice from later?"
"Oh? Is that so? Don't forget, you're my wife now. Even if I wanted you here, it would still fall under our legal marital obligations!"
"Get away from me! If you want marital obligations, go find your mistress. Don't force me into things I'm unwilling to do. Even marital obligations have a thing called marital rape!"
