Chapter 152 The Birthday Banquet Approaches
Chapter 152 The Birthday Banquet Approaches
The conference room door opened, and Shang Shixu walked at the front.
Several department heads followed behind, some of them whispering among themselves.
Shang Shixu suddenly stopped and turned to look at his assistant behind him.
"What are you laughing at?"
The assistant immediately pursed his lips and stood up straight.
"I didn't laugh because there was no boss."
Shang Shixu narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and did not ask any further questions.
Turn around and keep walking.
Finally, I stopped in front of the office door.
He pushed the door open and entered—
Before the assistant could even peek inside, the boss slammed the door shut behind him.
The office was quiet.
Shang Shixu walked to the large desk and placed the folder on it.
Just as I was about to pull out a chair and sit down, I caught a glimpse of a light blue corner of clothing under the table.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he instantly connected it to the assistant's unusual behavior earlier.
The assistant dared not bring anyone in without permission.
Unless that person is Jiang Wan.
His lips curled slightly.
It really is just a little mouse.
I sneaked in, intending to hide and scare him.
Shang Shixu remained silent.
He acted as if he hadn't seen anything, pulled out a chair, and sat down with an air of nonchalance.
They even thoughtfully placed a certain distance between the table and the wall to make it easier for her to climb out.
Jiang Wan was crouching under the table, unaware that she had been exposed.
She held her breath, relaxing her vigilance as she waited for the merchants to arrive.
She planned to scare him by imitating a female ghost when he relaxed.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle as she thought about what she was going to do later.
"How long are you prepared to stay here?"
A chilling voice descended from the sky.
With a lazy smile.
Jiang Wan froze.
The smile on his face cracked.
Before she could react, a large hand reached in from the outside and grabbed her arm.
Immediately afterwards, they "fished" her out from under the table.
Before I could even stand up straight, I was grabbed by the waist, lifted up, and placed on the desk.
Beneath her buttocks was a cool, solid wooden table, while in front of her was his hot breath.
He spread his arms and braced himself on either side of her body.
He leaned down and kissed me!
"Hmm..."
The gasp in his throat was crushed.
The man kissed her fiercely and urgently, without any gradual approach.
Jiang Wan gripped his shirt collar, breathless from the kiss.
She tilted her head slightly, and he chased after her, kissing her again.
Perhaps annoyed that she was avoiding him, he raised his hand that was resting on the table.
He put one arm around her waist and the other on the back of her head, kissing her as he pressed her against the desk.
Jiang Wan quickly changed from sitting to lying down.
To be precise, it was lying in his palm and arm.
Jiang Wan let out an uncomfortable whimper as his hard arm pressed against her sensitive waist.
Shang Shixu immediately stopped kissing.
"Were you scared?"
Jiang Wan's voice was soft and hoarse.
"No... my lower back hurts..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shang Shixu picked her up.
He sat down in the chair and placed her on his lap.
"Let me rub it for you."
His burning palms pressed against her lower back, making clockwise circles.
With just the right amount of pressure, the pain was quickly relieved.
Jiang Wan leaned on his shoulder and began to enjoy it.
"Brother, how did you find out about me?"
A soft hum came from above.
"With your level of concealment skills, if I couldn't find you, I might as well get my head checked."
Jiang Wan: ......
After being speechless, she scoffed and immediately tried to defend herself.
"It's not that I'm bad at hiding things, it's just that there's too little space under your table."
A man's sarcastic remark followed immediately.
"Your skill level is low, but you blame it on my small table."
Jiang Wan's face flushed instantly.
She lifted her chin and bit his ear.
Shang Shixu grunted and looked down at her.
His cold, phoenix-shaped eyes were unfathomable.
Jiang Wan didn't back down and glared back.
He spoke casually.
"Go ahead and bite. You'll be responsible if you have a reaction later."
Jiang Wan paused for a second.
After acknowledging his reaction, she immediately released her mouth.
The man chuckled lightly, "Little coward."
Jiang Wan felt embarrassed.
She jumped off his lap in a fit of rage.
"I don't want you to rub it anymore!"
"If you don't want me to rub it, then don't."
Jiang Wan: (>﹏<)
Unable to gain the upper hand in the verbal exchange, Jiang Wan resorted to her trump card.
He squatted down, took his small bag out from under the table, patted it casually a couple of times, slung it over his shoulder, and was about to leave.
He had barely taken a step when his arm was grabbed and he was pulled back.
Shang Shixu pulled her into his arms, his laughter ringing out above her head.
"Alright, alright, I admit defeat."
"Please, you're too magnanimous to hold a grudge against someone like me, okay?"
Jiang Wan leaned against his chest, a smile curving her lips.
"I'll forgive you since you admitted your mistake in time."
Shang Shixu leaned down and kissed her soft lips.
"Help me work in the afternoon."
"After dinner, I'll have the driver take you home."
Jiang Wan nodded.
Before leaving that evening, Jiang Wan and Shang Shixu finalized the arrangements for the birthday banquet.
A driver will pick her up in the morning.
In the afternoon, I went to try on dresses and get my hair and makeup done.
The birthday banquet will begin at 7 p.m.
As the protagonist, Shang Shixu should arrive at his home earlier to greet the guests.
......
Back home, Jiang Wan resumed her daily work routine.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed, and the day of the birthday banquet arrived.
As soon as Jiang Wan got up, Jiang Feng knocked on the door, entered the room, and closed it behind him.
"Sis, you're going to a big event tonight, are you nervous?"
Jiang Wan yawned. "I'm definitely going to be nervous, but I'm sure I can overcome it."
Jiang Feng remembered what his sister had said before, that she had already met the richest man's family.
They are all very nice people.
This trip should go smoothly.
"Okay, then you can pack up."
Jiang Wan called out to him.
"Wait, don't let it slip in front of Mom and Dad."
"I know, I'm not stupid."
A dozen minutes later, Jiang Wan finished tidying up and came to the living room to give her mother instructions.
"Mom, I have some errands to run in the city, I might not be back tonight."
"What's wrong?"
"About work."
Fang Ru didn't suspect anything. "Okay, then be careful."
"Okay."
Jiang Wan went out and arrived at the entrance of the residential area, where she secretly slipped into a Rolls-Royce parked on the roadside.
As the car started, Jiang Wan sent a message to Shang Shixu.
