Chapter 102: Jiang Xuecheng’s Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Jiang Xuecheng’s right hand drew Su Wan’s waist close to him and in the hazy night, his voice appeared to be deeper.
“Why? Are you unhappy?”
It was quiet and dark in the room. Su Wan moved her body and nestled against his chest while sighing. “I’m only afraid I’ll be torn to pieces by your admirers during tomorrow’s dinner.”
She could imagine Jiang Xuecheng’s admirers’ sharp glances even before the charity dinner.
To be honest, she didn’t like to be in the limelight.
In the dark night, Jiang Xuecheng smiled. “What do you have to be afraid of with me protecting you? Let’s sleep.”
Su Wan answered lightly and then shut her eyes. She had been busy the whole day and tomorrow would definitely be a fierce battle. She would need a good night’s rest.
The next morning, the entire S City was already awake from last night’s unexpected thunderstorm. Su Wan slowly drew the curtains open and the gentle sunlight beguiled her.
Today’s weather was good.
Jiang Xuecheng woke up earlier than her and remembered what Su Wan had reported to him last night.
When Su Wan went into the bathroom, the glass shards were gone and the windows had been replaced.
After breakfast, Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan went to select evening gowns.
***
Both of them went to the most bustling street in S City where it was crowded with cars and people.
Su Wan trailed behind Jiang Xuecheng who was wearing a thin, black windbreaker. She darted a glance at Jiang Xuecheng’s sunglasses and felt his dressing was more like an agent in the crime movies, rather than someone going to pick a gown.
He could even pass off as a murderer due to his cool temperament.
Jiang Xuecheng brought Su Wan into a boutique selling handmade branded luxurious gowns. This shop was famous for its gowns’ gorgeous designs. The gowns here were costly but very popular among celebrities.
Su Wan looked around and found that there was nobody else in the shop except them, probably because Jiang Xuecheng had called the boss.
After waiting for half a minute, a woman in her thirties walked out. She was wearing a long purple dress and her hair was meticulously tied up. She had a unique temperament.
She was the boss of this shop, Lu Xiao. She was the only person managing this huge shop.
Lu Xiao nodded toward Jiang Xuecheng and shifted her vision onto Su Wan. It was as if her eyes were piercing through Su Wan, making Su Wan feel like she was exposed under the hot sun. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Su Wan could not bear her examining gaze, but Lu Xiao smiled at her.
“So, this is the woman our young master has taken a fancy to! You’re such a beauty!”
Lu Xiao’s voice was gentle, possessing a special charm. Although Su Wan was a woman, she had goosebumps when she heard her talk.
Jiang Xuecheng glanced sideways at Lu Xiao and his voice was dull and emotionless.
“Alright, please get her an evening gown.”
“Sure. After I work on this girl, she will undoubtedly fascinate you till you can’t blink.”
Lu Xiao smiled as she walked toward Su Wan. Her eyes moved like smoke. “Come, I guarantee your beauty will multiply.”
Su Wan was tugged by Lu Xiao. She looked at Jiang Xuecheng awkwardly and was brought to the fitting room.
Jiang Xuecheng looked down as he sat down. He picked up a fashion magazine from the book shelves and started flipping through quietly.
After waiting for a little more than half an hour, the door opened.
Jiang Xuecheng put down the magazine. Lu Xiao walked out first. He shifted his gaze backward and his eyes fell on Su Wan, who was carefully holding up the train of her gown.
Jiang Xuecheng looked from bottom upward. His pupils contracted suddenly and his forehead creased.
It was not because the gown was not nice. On the contrary, Su Wan was wearing an extremely beautiful light blue gown.
The good silk fabric brought out Su Wan’s good figure. Her waist looked slender and the V neck design of the gown exposed the top of her fair bosom, where light sea pearls had been placed, making one’s imagination run wild.
Jiang Xuecheng stared at Su Wan’s collar with obvious displeasure.
“This is too revealing. Change it.”
Lu Xiao laughed helplessly and started complaining. “This gown fits Miss Su perfectly. Which part of it is too revealing?”
This was actually one of the best gowns here!
Couldn’t he see that all the other aristocratic ladies’ gown would be much more revealing than this, to grab people’s attention?
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips and there was unwholesomeness in his eyes. “I said change it!”
If Su Wan were to wear this at home, Jiang Xuecheng would be admiring her happily.
However, he wouldn’t allow Su Wan to dress like this under the gazes of many, especially when he thought of how the men would stare at and examine her with dirty eyes and dirtier hearts.
Because of this, he had to bring Su Wan here personally today to pick her gown.
Su Wan had expected this earlier. She shrugged and went back into the fitting room.
When Lu Xiao saw Su Wan following obediently, she sighed silently and followed suit.
After ten minutes, Su Wan came out first. This time, she was wearing a long lavender dress. Looking from the front, other than her arms, the dress wrapped the rest of her body perfectly, not exposing any skin.
Feeling satisfied, Jiang Xuecheng nodded. He raised his brows slightly and was about to tell Su Wan to take this gown.
Never had he expected Su Wan to sneer and turn around in her spot.
The front of this gown was conservative but the design of the back was quite daring. Her fair back was exposed, making her neck look long.
Jiang Xuecheng’s face darkened. That instant, their eyes met, Jiang Xuecheng was looking terrible while Su Wan simply beamed, as if she did that just to see his response.
Anyway, she did not plan to wear this gown. It was interesting to see Jiang Xuecheng’s current look. Haha!
“Wan Wan, if you did that just to make me angry, you’ve achieved your aim.”
Although there was blame, there was also doting in his tone.
Jiang Xuecheng suppressed his displeasure. He walked towards Su Wan and locked her shoulder with one hand. His other hand moved downward from her neck and stopped at her waist before he tickled her.
Jiang Xuecheng knew Su Wan was sensitive to being tickled.
Su Wan couldn’t endure his tickle. She glared at Jiang Xuecheng and when she saw he had no intention to stop, she started pleading.
“Have mercy on me. I’ll change into another gown.”
When Su Wan came out again, she was wearing a plain white gown. It was an off-shoulder gown, showing off Su Wan’s beautiful collarbone. Its design was simple, but with Su Wan wearing it, there was a fresh and unique taste.
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes moved. He was obviously not pleased with the off-shoulder design.
Lu Xiao was afraid he would make carping comments and so stood in front of him.
“Young Master, this gown is the most conservative gown in this shop! I can’t help it if you still think it is unsuitable!”
