Chapter 53 - Ill Take Care Of You (2/2)

“Not at all.” It had only been a few hours of exercise, what was there to be tired about? It was the mental image of her in another man’s arms that weighed down on him. She was still so young. If he wasn’t careful, someone would snatch her from him.

“Are you sure there isn’t anything you want to tell me, Qiu?”

Tang Qiu recalled Ning Mufan’s words about Jiang Shaocheng’s family cutting him off financially, and felt a pinch of sorrow. “I’m sorry, dear,” she said.

Jiang Shaocheng’s heart sank. Why is she apologizing? he wondered, his expression turning feral. Was it because of her lingering feelings for Ning Mufan?

“For what?”

His voice was so cold that it made Tang Qiu flinch. In the driver’s seat, ice crawled down He Lei’s neck. Looks like the young master is angry again…

Jiang Shaocheng stared at her. “Silly girl. I don’t need your money. I have my own.”

“We’re married. There’s no need to feel ashamed. What’s mine is yours.”

The storm cloud hanging over Jiang Shaocheng’s features cleared, and he repressed a faint smile. Money, money, money… That was what it always was with her. It was a pity she wasn’t so unreserved in offering other parts of herself to him.

“I don’t want your money. I want your kisses.”

“What?” It was such an abrupt change of subject.

“Didn’t you say what’s yours is mine?” Jiang Shaocheng deliberately skirted over the issue of money, but for once, Tang Qiu surprised him by kissing him before he could continue. A smile broke out over his face.

The tension in the car had dissipated. The young mistress’ effect on Jiang Shaocheng couldn’t be understated, He Lei thought, even if she wasn’t too bright about other matters. One day, the girl would drive her husband over the edge…

Jiang Shaocheng had cheered up so swiftly that it puzzled Tang Qiu. All that from a kiss? Not that she was complaining. “I’ll keep the money, then, but I’ll also take care of you.”

“Yes. You do that.”

He Lei frowned slightly. Wasn’t the young master worried? Tang Qiu went on to say that they should exercise prudence in their spending now that they had no one to rely on but themselves, and Jiang Shaocheng nodded along with her. If she asked for his life now, He Lei mused, he might not even have the heart to refuse.
