Chapter 218: Don’t Flatter Yourself
Sheng An’ning walked toward Jiang Xuecheng. She stared at his handsome face quietly and took out an exquisite box from the bag.
Sheng An’ning smiled and she was charming like the spring breeze.
“Brother Xuecheng, I know you’re always very busy, so I didn’t choose an impractical gift. I bought you this handmade pen for you to sign documents with.”
If this man were to use the pen she gave him every time he was at his desk, would he think of her occasionally?
Jiang Xuecheng received the box containing the pen. With a calm voice, just like the water in the pond without waves, he said, “I don’t lack pens but thank you anyway.”
When Jiang Xuecheng’s deep voice entered her ears, there wasn’t a surprise in his voice at all. Sheng An’ning was stupefied and grievance showed in her eyes.
Jiang Haoxuan, who was sitting beside Luo Xiuxiu, could not take it any longer. He stood up and with raised brows, showed disagreement toward Jiang Xuecheng.
“Brother, can’t you not dampen An’ning’s spirits? Did you know that she went out of her way to look for a handmade pen maker to make this unique pen just for the sake of getting you this gift?”
Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows coldly and his handsome facial contour deepened. “If you like this pen, you may have it.”
Jiang Haoxuan laxed. He looked at Jiang Xuecheng’s expressionless face and felt angry. He felt that Jiang Xuecheng was not worth An’ning’s effort.
With heartache, he darted a look at Sheng An’ning and unconsciously raised his voice. “Brother, you know very well that An’ning treats you differently…”
When Su Wan heard that, she looked down. True enough, everyone in the Jiang family knew that Sheng An’ning liked Jiang Xuecheng.
Luo Xiuxiu saw that the more Jiang Haoxuan spoke, the more mistakes he was making. She tugged him immediately and said, “Today is a good family reunion. Why are you raising your voice at your brother? Show some respect.”
Sheng An’ning felt extremely awkward too. She smiled, “Haoxuan, you’ve misunderstood brother Xuecheng. He thanked me just now.”
As she spoke, she walked toward Su Wan and took out an exquisite little bluish-purple bottle from her limited-edition handbag.
Su Wan was stunned. She had a gift too?
Sheng An’ning passed the little bottle in her hand to Su Wan. Her smile was decent.
“Sis-in-Law, I just got to know that Brother Xuecheng got married, so I didn’t have time to prepare you a gift. I took the liberty of bringing you this bottle of perfume. I hope you like it.”
Su Wan took the little bluish-purple bottle and was about to say thank you when Jiang Xuecheng spoke.
“Wan Wan doesn’t use perfume.”
The soft but cold voice seemed to have a kind of frightening power.
When Jiang Xuecheng looked at Sheng An’ning, her heart skipped a beat. Her smile remained unchanged, just like a lotus which had been swept by the wind.
“This is a perfume produced by Sir Yolanda. It’s from the ‘Secluded Orchid In A Deserted Valley’ series. I specifically picked the mildest one. Sis-in-Law would like it after using it for a period of time.”
Because Su Wan did not use perfume, she was not familiar with this brand. However, when Sheng An’ning recommended it with great enthusiasm, she guessed the perfume was expensive.
Su Wan nodded with dignity. “Thank you, then.”
After saying thank you, Su Wan put the perfume into her handbag.

Suddenly, Su Wan remembered she had a pair of unopened pearl earrings in her handbag. She took out the velvet jewelry box immediately and passed to Sheng An’ning.
“This is a pair of pastel pearl earrings. An’ning, you’re fair, you should look nice in these.”
Sheng An’ning was of the same generation as she was. Since she received Sheng An’ning’s perfume, she should give her something in return. It would be better to do it today than to ask her out another day.
Sheng An’ning took the velvet jewelry box and opened it. A pair of round seawater pearls sparkled under the light.
Sheng An’ning curved her eyes and was overwhelmed. “I like it very much. Thank you, Sis-in-Law.”
After the little episode of gift giving, Su Wan felt tightness in her chest. She stood up and smiled at the seniors of the Jiang family. “I’m not feeling very well and would like to step out for a bit for some fresh air.”
Jiang Xuecheng took a glance at Su Wan and looked worried. “Wan Wan, are you alright? Would you like me to accompany you?”
Su Wan shook her head faintly and shot him a consoling look. Then, she walked toward the door.
Su Wan found the washroom on the same floor after asking the waiter.
She stood in front of the wash basin and splashed her face with water gently.
Su Wan felt much fresher after the warm water touched her face.
She actually felt gloomy just now. It might not necessarily be physical discomfort, it was perhaps because there were too many people in the private room and she could not talk to Jiang Xuecheng very naturally. Hence, she was not used to it.
Su Wan shut her eyes. She felt she had been out for quite some time. To avoid Jiang Xuecheng from getting worried, it was time to go back.
The minute she walked out of the ladies’ room, she saw a familiar tall figure walking toward her.
He was wearing a suit and was tall but he looked haggard.
Gosh, why was Gu Zihang here?
Su Wan frowned. Subconsciously, she didn’t want him to see her. So, she ducked her head and went back into the washroom.
However, Gu Zihang’s eyes were much sharper than Su Wan had imagined. He saw Su Wan at a glance. He was surprised to see her and thought of calling her but Su Wan had gone back inside!
Gu Zihang walked quickly toward Su Wan. He stood outside the door and cried softly, “Wan, I’ve seen you. Are you so unwilling to see me? Are you still angry with me?”
When Su Wan heard this, a trace of disgust and awkwardness flashed in her eyes. She had not expected Gu Zihang to ignore his own image and stand outside the female washroom to speak to her in a loud voice!
If someone were to know, what would they think of her?
Su Wan pushed the door open and stood out with poise, “Mr. Gu, I’ve not seen you for quite some time. I think it’s better if you do not use this sort of intimate address in view of our current relationship.”
Gu Zihang stared at Su Wan. “Wan, do you have to speak to me in this manner? I know you still have me in your heart, or you wouldn’t have asked someone to follow Yurou and send me those pictures via email.”
What pictures? What email?
Su Wan’s eyes widened and had no idea what Gu Zihang was talking about.
Su Wan’s brows knitted tightly. She pursed her lips and her voice was cold and distant.
“Mr. Gu, please do not flatter yourself. I indeed hate Su Yurou but I’m not free enough to follow her, what more send secret emails to you.”
Just when both of them were confronting one another, a spring breeze-like voice sounded suddenly.
“Sis-in-Law, who’s this man?”
