Chapter 31
What, fasten his seat belt?
Su Wan was startled and immediately declined. “Mr. Jiang, I’m neither your maid nor your subordinate. Thank you.”

“I’m asking for your help. Do you treat someone who has helped you in this manner?”
Jiang Xuecheng groaned slightly with coldness in his voice. “My hand feels weak now from helping you get your handbag back…”
Su Wan rolled her eyes. She had been defeated by Jiang Xuecheng!
This man didn’t need a script when lying and could even keep a straight face! His shamelessness remained unchallenged by the world.
Just a while ago, he had forced her against the wall of the narrow lane, so how could his hand feel weak now?
Sensing the atmosphere all around getting more intense, Su Wan knew she could not dissuade him. So, she pursed her lips and unwillingly moved her body towards Jiang Xuecheng…
Su Wan unfastened her own seat belt. She stood up a little and hooked Jiang Xuecheng’s seat belt with her hand.
The distance between them was really close and Su Wan could feel Jiang Xuecheng’s warm breath on her neck.
1
Jiang Xuecheng’s unique masculine breath hovered around Su Wan. It was still clean like snow but caused Su Wan’s feelings to go haywire.
D*mn! This man must have done it on purpose!
Su Wan could sense Jiang Xuecheng’s wolf-like eyes staring at her. She did not dare raise her head and focused on tugging the seat belt into the safety belt buckle.
However, due to her petite size, her hand unavoidably touched his. The feeling of their skins touching was extraordinarily distinct.
Su Wan’s breathing faltered and her hand movements turned messy.
“Why are you so nervous? Haven’t you fastened someone’s seat belt before?”
1
The sudden sound of his voice scared her. Not only did she fail to buckle his seat belt, but her legs gave way and she fell right into Jiang Xuecheng’s embrace.
His unique masculine breath was so near and both their clothes were stuck to one another’s without even a bit of distance.
1
In the cramped car, there was no heater but Su Wan could feel the temperature in the car rising.
It was because of this man that the invisible force was approaching and she even felt her face burning. It was really hot…
Su Wan raised her head slightly and Jiang Xuecheng’s celestially handsome face was imprinted in her mind.
Jiang Xuecheng’s features were indeed very good-looking. Every part of him was so handsome and impeccable. If the saying ‘a face that launches a thousand ships’ could be used to describe a man, nobody else was worthy of that saying except for Jiang Xuecheng.
His eyes which slightly curved up were especially heart stirring. One look at them made one feel like indulging in them.
Moreover, the pair of eyes was currently starring at her. That devotion of his heart and soul felt like she was the only one in this whole world.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan. He sounded like he was smiling.
1
“Have you seen enough?”
Su Wan stared blankly for a moment. Then, she realized she had been obsessing over Jiang Xuecheng. Beauty was indeed misleading. What the ancients said was true.
Su Wan hastily got up but her legs felt numb. When she tried to stand up, she lost her balance and almost fell to the front.
2
Luckily, Jiang Xuecheng was alert and agile and Su Wan fell into his arms, “Can I perceive this gesture as you throwing yourself freely to me?”
Su Wan clenched her teeth awkwardly and explained, “No, my legs felt numb.”
3
“No matter what, I’m not a man with good self-control.”
Jiang Xuecheng went closer to Su Wan’s cheeks while looking her in the eyes.
Looking at that pair of dark eyes, Su Wan was stupefied for a while before understanding what Jiang Xuecheng meant.
Su Wan’s body line tightened that instant. She was not an ignorant three-year-old kid. How would she not know what Jiang Xuecheng meant?
1
Su Wan trembled and with newfound strength, scrambled back to her seat.
This woman could not be frightened…
Jiang Xuecheng smirked and shook his head helplessly. Then, he leaned closer to Su Wan once again.
Su Wan’s almond eyes widened alertly. She stretched out her arms and formed a defensive gesture in front of her body and demanded, “What are you doing? Don’t come so close!”
This man was definitely a beast!
Who on earth said that he had kept away from women for twenty-seven years? It was definitely a rumor!
Jiang Xuecheng ignored Su Wan who was acting like a small animal defending its territory. He said softly, “As you are unwilling to fasten the seat belt for me, I’ll help you fasten yours.”
Su Wan frowned and dropped her hands to allow Jiang Xuecheng to insert her seat belt into the safety belt buckle.
The atmosphere in the car was getting weirder. Even the oxygen was reducing and she was suffocating…
Su Wan’s heart beat faster and faster, as if someone was beating a drum. Thump, thump, thump! Su Wan could not ignore the sounds.
1
Jiang Xuecheng, who had fastened Su Wan’s seat belt, saw Su Wan’s crimson cheeks and couldn’t help booping Su Wan on the nose.
1
Su Wan’s mind had been confused following Jiang Xuecheng’s previous gestures and words but now, she could finally endure no more. She shot a fierce glance at Jiang Xuecheng.
“Please don’t touch me.”
Jiang Xuecheng could not bully her just because he had long limbs, could he?
1
Jiang Xuecheng darted Su Wan a glance from the side and started his car. “If I truly were to do something toward you, I would’ve done it long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wan clenched the cushion of the seat tightly. With a surge of emotions, she said, “I know you have evil thoughts.”
“I only have evil thoughts towards you.”
1
Jiang Xuecheng raised his brows and took a look at Su Wan. For no reason, his mood was good. He stepped on the accelerator and the car darted on the street.
1
Was this a confession?
Who on earth would confess like this? It was like a confession of a rascal…
2
Su Wan’s eyes swept across Jiang Xuecheng, who was driving attentively. The current Jiang Xuecheng was in an emotion convergence, where no one could differentiate if what he just said was genuine or fake.
1
So what if her interest toward him had been aroused?
Jiang Xuecheng was the CEO of Di Chen Group and the reputable young master of the Jiang family. A dangerous character like him was definitely not one to mess with.
Su Wan was afraid that if she gave her heart to a man, she would be abandoned by him, just like old clothes being dumped to a corner, as if the tenderness given to her was an illusion.
What she needed now was a practical and secure marriage, and not love which looked glorious but fragile.
“Why aren’t you talking?”
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan and thought she was not in the right mood.
Su Wan took in a breath lightly and shook her head, signaling she was fine.
The atmosphere in the car became dreary. Jiang Xuecheng didn’t want to force Su Wan to talk, so he switched the radio on. The radio was playing an oldie.
“How many people have admired your looks when you were young, but who is willing to bear the heartless changes when years go by, how many people around you come and go, in a life with you, you’ll have me as your companion…”
