Since Jiang Jingchuan was in the process of finishing up his work, he let Su Yan wait. Su Yan was idle, hence naturally had time. While Jiang Jingchuan earnestly worked, Su Yan reverted to the usual of feeling drowsy after a meal. This had become habitual while living in Imperial Palace: taking a short nap after the noon meal. Even if the body had changed, the habit was still deeply ingrained. She leaned back on the sofa and, in less than a minute, her eyes half-closed she fell asleep.

The sofa in the office was quite big. When Jiang Jingchuan lifted his head and pinched his brow, as was his habit, he noticed Su Yan asleep on the sofa.

Jiang Jingchuan didnt realise that the corners of his mouth slightly lifted up. After a brief moment of hesitation, Jiang Jingchuan got up from the chair and left his work behind. He took off his western-style coat and walked towards Su Yan. Standing in front of the sofa, with the utmost gentleness, he covered her with the coat.

Su Yan woke up as he finished putting the coat over her, but she did not open her eyes. She was inwardly appraising. With her eyes closed, she moved lightly underneath his coat somewhat fondly.

Despite the fact that Su Yan could not see Jiang Jingchuans expression, she was aware that this action represented that she did not put up a defence against him. Whether or not he would be happy, she did not know. In these sort of little details, it was always much easier to add flowers to the brocade[1].

1. Add flowers to the brocade It is an idiom which means to decorate something which is already beautiful

Jiang Jingchuan looked at Su Yan below. Although he wasnt interested in his feelings, his territorial awareness was very strong. Granted he did not have sexual relations with Su Yan, in his heart, Su Yan was quite different from other women. He was responsible for her, so she was his people. Even though in the past he used to treat Su Yan as a person for whom he assumed responsibility, now it began to become a bit different.

Not only did he have a strong territorial awareness but a strong danger-instinct as well.

Although in his heart he felt that this circumstance was already spiralling out of his control, he did not want to ponder it too deeply. It wasnt like he was in the business world: Su Yan wasnt his enemy or opponent, she was his wife. Even if she became different, she was still herself.

Jiang Jingchuan went back to his seat and continued his work, but Su Yan could not go back to sleep anymore. She was slowly becoming more aware of her current situation. Su Yan gave thought as to whether or not she could depend on the original bodys family members. That persons manner just now, as well as his extremely deferential way of calling Jiang Jingchuan as CEO Jiang, made her heart sink.

The original bodys family members were unreliable, let alone friends, so not pondering it. When she first arrived in this strange era, at that time and even now, she only had herself to rely on.

The only thigh she allowed herself to hold was that of Jiang Jingchuan.

In future, let us take one step at a time.

Su Yan pretended to sleep for another 10 minutes, but she could not hold back. She opened her eyes and looked blankly at Jiang Jingchuan. After she got up, she stretched. Jiang Jingchuan, who was observing her series of actions, couldnt help but laugh under his breath.

Half an hour later, Jiang Jingchuan left the office with Su Yan. Standing inside the elevator, Jiang Jingchuan, who hadnt said anything so far, spoke a few words, Wifes meal was much more delicious as compared to the companys.

Su Yans heart jumped, but in a split second she understood what Jiang Jingchuan meant. Though he did not speak much, he was unlikely to talk domestic trivialities with her.

Wifes meal was much more delicious as compared to the companys.

But today, these words came out of Jiang Jingchuans mouth, which was worth pondering.

Could it be, that he wanted her to come over to deliver meals to him every day?

Hehe.

2. To Climb over another It means to take advantage of others.3. Furen- It is a way of addressing married woman with respect. Here it refers to Jiang Jingchuans mom.

Among them, one of the sales personnel was especially smart and good at handling people. He sweetly asked Su Yan while handing her the shopping bag, Mrs. Jiang, if its okay with you, can I leave you my card? If supposing you ever require, you may give me a call and you will be the first person to know of the new trends.

When the salesman saw that Jiang Jingchuan wasnt offended, he became even more convinced of his guess.

Su Yan hesitated initially but nodded.

Suddenly all the salespeople in the shop became filled with jealousy. This guy was too charming. By currying favour with Mrs. Jiang now, he wouldnt have to worry in the future.

Su Yan accepted the salesmans card and, clinging to Jiang Jingchuans arm, left.

Several salespeople gathered together for a heated discussion.

So that was Mrs. Jiang. I read the post the other day and thought that Huang Yu Wei was going to take that position.

Ah, I really dislike that little b*tch. Not just me but if you were a man, would you like Mrs. Jiang or Huang Yu Wei?

It is said that Mrs. Jiang is way ahead of Huang Yu Wei! She has such a good personality and Mister Jiang also treats her well. I may as well consider looking for a man who will let me buy buy and buy to my hearts content.

Its not even night yet why did you start dreaming?

Today was a working day and since it was still the office hours there werent many people on the street. But the combination of Jiang Jingchuan and Su Yan still attracted second glances.

Jiang Jingchuan helped Su Yan carry a few bags, which was solely the result of the training from going out shopping with his mother, yet this single move made Su Yan greatly increase her favourable impression of him.

In the past, His Majesty treated her very well, but during shopping, he was unlikely to assist her to carry things. Naturally, she would not blame him. He was the Imperial Emperor, the most honourable person under the heavens. It was already extreme when he was kind enough to deign his extremely valuable time to accompany her to go shopping. When Jiang Jingchuan did such a thing, Su Yan who was seldom dazed was stunned for a long time.

Though they had only started getting along with each other recently, Jiang Jingchuan made her feel very good. Although the relationship between husband and wife was not good, he did not fault her for eating and drinking. Furthermore, the servants inside the house were very respectful to her. After that night, though he did not enquire about her well being, he expressed concern for her in the tiny details. Though this man talked very little, Su Yan still trusted him.

During the process where Su Yan was feeling deeply moved that Jiang Jingchuan was quite good, his phone rang. Jiang Jingchuan took out the phone from his pocket. With one look at the caller-id, his expression became somewhat mixed.

But he quickly picked it up, Grandpa, what happened?

Dont know what was said, but Jiang Jingchuan looked at Su Yan and his voice became even more downcast, Okay. I got it.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jingchuan said to Su Yan: Grandpa and Grandma have called us to come back and have a meal in the Ancestral Home tonight.

Su Yan was startled upon hearing that but quickly gave a response. She had been here for more than ten days. Finally, she was going to meet Jiang Jingchuans family. This was another trial.

Barb notes: I am sure most of the readers have a question in mind which the Author has addressed in her post which I have translated below. However, caution is to be taken as it reveals a potential spoiler regarding The Emperors name.

The Author has something to say:Some readers have raised some doubts that Huang Sang treated Su Yan too well even though she wasnt in any kind of relationship with him. And that Su Yans relationship with Jiang Jingchuan, it seems a bit unrealistic. What does all this mean?How to say this Su Yan is a 100 percent rational person. Even if Huang Sang treats her really well, given those situations in ancient times, Su Yan wont reply to his interest. As for the Emperor and her not having a sexual relationship, from the Emperors point of view, he wants to treasure the person he holds dear. When she becomes his wife, only then will he touch her. Su Yan, however, could care less.In view of the circumstances at those times also due to the status of The Emperor she curried favour with him. In the event that Su Yan did not traverse, she would have wed him, held his hand, and would have accompanied him till old age; but she would not have genuinely fallen in love with him.As for Mr. Jiang, it is not that dramatic. After a long time of pursuing his wife and being abused without any complaint nor regret, he is finally able to truly taste the sweetness.Su Yan is a I know you want me to love you and I will show that I love you; but, in reality, I only love myself kind of person.Previously a reader sighed ruefully at the first chapter, Mr. Jiang honestly has great luck. My previous male protagonist couldnt eat meat until the final ending. He unexpectedly ended up eating at the beginning. He is truly not bad HahahahahaIn short, when Jiang Jingchuan truly falls in love with the Wuli woman, at that moment, he will be forced to suffer bitterly.Keep reading^_^
