Chapter 17
The Eldest Young Master's Gentle Wife (17)
Newsboy: "Big news! Big news! Jiang family's clothing shop fell apart overnight. Brothers fought, with the Eldest Young Master Jiang at a disadvantage and chased out, and the quiet Second Young Master Jiang became the biggest winner!"
Newsboy: "Big news! Big news! A noble houses dispute, right and wrong, everyone dont miss it as you pass by.
In a moments time, Yunlan citys entertainment newspapers worked overtime, and everyone knew about the change in ownership of the Jiang clothing shop.
In a high-end caf somewhere.
Sitting near the window was a man in his forties, wearing a tailored suit, paired with a pair of leather shoes, his hair combed into a fashionable slickback.
His appearance was very ordinary, but a hidden light flashed in his pair of eyes, like an alpha wolf waiting for the opportunity to strike, made people not dare to look at him.
At this moment, his rough fingertips rubbed against the exquisite coffee cup, he took a small sip, frowning: "This foreigner's plaything is difficult to drink."
"Since Third Master doesnt like it, then change it."
Third Master Zheng: "Oh, I still thought that my good nephew would urge me to try it a second time.
Jiang Zhe: "Third Master Zheng jokes. As the old saying goes, a gentleman doesnt force people against their wishes, and also doesnt steal other peoples lovers.
Third Master Zheng smiled unexpectedly: "What a good gentlemen, to not force people against their wishes. Nephew can see clearer than those other mediocre people."
Jiang Zhe nodded lightly: "Third Master exaggerates."
Third Master Zheng waved his hand: "Lets not bother with that kind of humility. Talking business, now the entire Yunlan city is talking about how you, the Eldest Young Master Jiang, got chased out like a dog by a concubine and her illegitimate children. Everyone is mocking your uselessness; do you have nothing to say?"
Jiang Zhe blinked his eyes and calmly said: "What is there to say. Let them say what they want to say, the words of unrelated people have nothing to do with me.
Third Master Zheng: "Such words arent right either. As the common saying goes, a good word can keep one warm for three winters, bad words can hurt people like a winter June. Nephew, you are inexperienced and dont know the fearsome power of peoples words."
Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, saying: "Nephew is stupid, asking Uncle to explain."
"Uncle" this word pleased Third Master Zheng. He laughed, carefree: "Since Nephew called me uncle, I cant let you call it in vain. Rest assured, even if the sky is falling, Uncle will help you hold it up."
Jiang Zhe eyes flashed, Then, I thank Uncle.
Third Master Zheng: "You're welcome."
Third Master Zheng: "Just nice, mid next month, the mayors family will be hosting a ball, when the time comes, you will follow me. I can introduce you to other people as well, what do you think?"
Jiang Zhe : "It is my honour. Nephew will definitely be on time for this event."
Third Master Zheng: "Nephew truly is refreshing."
Jiang Zhe gave a polite smile.
The two men continued to chat, until the sky was getting dark, only then did Jiang Zhe bid farewell.
Before separating, Third Master Zheng suddenly said: "Nephews wife may be shocked today. Nephew should properly comfort her when you get back."
Jiang Zhe lowered his eyes, bowing slightly: "Many thanks for Uncles advice."
Third Master Zheng: "No problem. Who are we with, alright, quickly go home.
The two were silent for a moment, but there was no awkwardness, only calm warmth.
After waiting for a while, and Li Cai Wei almost fell asleep, she heard Jiang Zhe say: "Cai Wei?"
Li Cai Wei: "Hm?"
Jiang Zhe: "Do you want to learn english?"
Li Cai Wei: "En."
In the dark night, Jiang Zhes eyes shone. He opened his mouth a few times, and finally enunciated clearly, whispering a sentence "l love you".
Li Cai Wei: "I love you."
The womans voice was gentle and warm, like a gently flowing stream of water, harbouring a soothing power. For a moment, Jiang Zhe only felt that his heart had missed a beat.
Li Cai Wei chanted for a while and asked: "What does this mean?"
Jiang Zhe face didnt change, seriously spouting nonsense: "Good night."
Li Cai Wei: "Ah?"
Jiang Zhe: "The meaning of the english words just now."
Li Cai Wei seemingly understood and nodded: "Oh, oh."
Li Cai Wei: "It's late, go to sleep. l love you."
Jiang Zhe didnt know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart was filled with a strange emotion.
He hugged the woman and kissed her cheek, whispering: "Me too, Cai Wei."
A good night's dream.
The next day, when the sky was very bright, Li Cai Wei held onto Jiang Zhes chest and sat up sleepily.
Jiang Zhe smoothly held her hand and put it to his lips, kissing her, "Good morning." His voice was hoarse and flirtatious.
Li Cai Weis face turned red helplessly, but she couldnt protest.
She, she wont admit it, that she secretly liked it in her heart.
Jiang Zhe held his wife's hand and softly said: "Theres nothing going on today, I will be revising at home."
Li Cai Wei wasnt clear on his meaning.
Jiang Zhe turned over, dressed up and said: "Who was the one who wanted to learn English last night." Leaving these words behind, he opened the door and went straight out.
Li Cai Wei recalled last night, her face gradually reddened.
TN: So cute, haha! Hubby taught her to say I love you but didnt want to admit it! Probably because if she knew the real meaning, she wouldn't say it out of shyness and embarrassment.
