Chapter 58: Chapter 58 The Suffering of Atoning for rits_1
Kang Xiaolan grew more and more worried for Su Wanxia; she needed Mu Yingchen to intervene just to marry Mu Feng, so wouldn’t Wanxia’s marriage to Yingchen be even harder?
“Wanxia, have you ever t Mu Yingchen’s mother?” Kang Xiaolan asked carefully, having completely forgotten about Su Wanxia’s refusal to be her bridesmaid.
Su Wanxia let out a long sigh, “I haven’t.”
Kang Xiaolan uttered an “Oh,” which wasn’t surprising to her, because she had been pursuing Mu Feng for so long and had never seen Mu Yingchen’s mother at the company; however, at that point, the Mu Group had already been entirely under Mu Yingchen’s managent.
At this mont, Kang Xiaolan thought of a critically important question, “You won’t skip out on my wedding day too, will you?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll see you to the wedding car,” Su Wanxia reassured.
“You—-” Kang Xiaolan didn’t know what else to say. It was hard enough getting married, but to have the most likely person absent at the wedding was truly regrettable.
“Xiaolan, you understand , right?” Su Wanxia started to play the pity card with Kang Xiaolan again.
Kang Xiaolan grunted resentfully, then laid down her conditions quite unapologetically, “All right, I forgive you.”
Su Wanxia instantly felt a sigh of relief.
“However, you have to atone for your sins,” Kang Xiaolan’s triumphant voice ca through the phone.
Without a second thought, Su Wanxia agreed, “Fine, no problem, just tell
how can I atone.”
“Before I get married, you have to accompany
in whatever I want to do,” Kang Xiaolan demanded.
“Sis, how am I supposed to manage work?” Su Wanxia protested.
“What’s more important, your job or my wedding!” Kang Xiaolan’s voice was so loud it made Su Wanxia’s eardrums buzz.
“Alright, alright, I’ll carve out so ti every day to be with you, okay? The pregnant woman’s wishes are paramount,” Su Wanxia capitulated.
“That’s more like it!”
Hearing this, Su Wanxia felt much more at ease, as long as Xiaolan wasn’t mad at her.
But then, tragedy struck—-
She finally understood the true aning behind Kang Xiaolan’s “Before I get married, you have to accompany
in whatever I want to do.”
The wedding photo shoot lasted three days, three whole days! Su Wanxia was speechless, spending the scorching days as Kang Xiaolan’s personal attendant, tending to her every need.
Worst of all, the pregnant woman was really difficult to cater to; she couldn’t drink this, she couldn’t eat that, groaning now about a sore back needing rest, then complaining of aching feet that required sitting; one mont she was vomiting profusely, and the next she was craving one thing after another, leaving Su Wanxia inwardly screaming: Oh my God! Why are pregnant won so hard to serve?
Finally, the wedding photo shoot was over, and before Su Wanxia could get a breather, Kang Xiaolan announced it was ti to pick out furniture, causing Su Wanxia to roll her eyes, “Kang Xiaolan, does a pregnant woman really need to go pick out furniture? Can’t the designers handle everything just fine?”
Who knew Kang Xiaolan would say, “Oh, Wanxia, I’ve already looked through the design plans. I told them that I want to pick out the bedroom furniture myself, that way it feels like ho. Otherwise, if everything is done by soone else, following their ideas, how boring would that be? Anyway, I want to design my own bridal chamber. You’re a designer, hehe, co take a look with . With you there, I’m sure there won’t be any disappointnts.”
Just like that, Su Wanxia spent another two days accompanying the difficult pregnant woman in choosing furniture, and only then, with imnse satisfaction, did the woman allow her to return to her company work.
She couldn’t help but ponder in her heart. Wasn’t it said that pregnant won are supposed to get tired easily? Why did it seem to her that Kang Xiaolan had more energy than even herself, positively brimming with vitality? After selecting furniture for two days, not even a hum of discomfort, could this really be the so-called motivation of marriage?
During this ti, Kang Xiaolan called upon her two or three more tis for various miscellaneous and trivial matters, but what could she say? Could she go back on her word now? Otherwise, Kang Xiaolan would definitely hold a grudge.
For nearly twenty days, Kang Xiaolan had given Su Wanxia a hard ti. Every day was spent going from ho to the company to any other place outside, and she didn’t even have the chance to et with Mu Yingchen. She had intended to show him the materials she had designed, but had delayed until now. ng Can and Wen Lingya had already shown him so of theirs, and if she didn’t present hers soon, it would seem as if she was poor at her job!
Although the two had been at an impasse for so ti, business was business and personal issues were personal. She wouldn’t confuse the two. If her actions were to have a negative impact on her company’s collaboration with Mu Group, how could she explain it to Jesse? Therefore, she absolutely could not let such a situation occur.
With that thought, she picked up the docunts she had organized early on from the desk and headed to the top floor.
As soon as Su Wanxia arrived at the CEO’s office area, the secretarial staff were surprised to see her. She smiled at them. Indeed, it had been a long ti since she had been there; they must have found it strange.
“Aisha, is Mr. Mu inside?”
Aisha smiled, “He is, Miss Su,” and then seed to hesitate as if she wanted to say sothing but ultimately didn’t.
Su Wanxia didn’t mind and was about to step towards the door of the CEO’s office when the door suddenly opened from within.
A nerve in Su Wanxia’s heart tensed at the sight, thinking Mu Yingchen was about to co out, but when she saw who was actually coming out, her body stiffened slightly.
Ding Nianzi had not expected that on her rare visit, she would once again see Su Wanxia coming to find her “Brother Chen.”
Instantly, the look Ding Nianzi gave Su Wanxia turned even more hateful. It must have been because of her that Brother Chen rigorously refused to let her be his partner. It was definitely because of her! Even though Auntie had agreed and allowed her to be Brother Chen’s partner at Mu Feng’s wedding, which made her run to him happily, she was bluntly refused. If not for this woman, what else could it be!
“Hmph!” Ding Nianzi haughtily raised her chin and sneered disdainfully.
At this mont, Su Wanxia didn’t want to quarrel too much with her. The instant she saw Ding Nianzi, she couldn’t explain her feelings, but anyone would feel uncomfortable seeing a woman clinging to the man they liked every day. Although she trusted Mu Yingchen, she just didn’t like seeing other won fluttering around him.
Perhaps this was what they called a woman’s possessiveness!
She sighed inwardly, finding it terrifying, then proceeded as if she hadn’t seen Ding Nianzi, stepping up to the CEO’s office door and knocking twice.
Ding Nianzi was about to explode with anger when suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she smiled smugly, swaying her seductive body as she walked away.
When the emotionless word “Enter” ca from inside, Su Wanxia took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
As expected, he was still focused on working in front of his computer.
Mu Yingchen had also not lifted his head and was busy writing sothing.
Su Wanxia paused for a mont, then slowly walked up to the desk and placed the docunts on it, softly saying, “Mr. Mu!”
Mu Yingchen’s pen-holding hand froze for a mont, and he looked up in surprise, his gaze eting Su Wanxia’s clear eyes.
A flicker of delight crossed the depth of his eyes, as he had assud it was Aisha. He hadn’t expected it to be this woman, who both intrigued and vexed him.
