Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 322 High-Ranking Business Tycoon (Gong) VS Beautiful, Clueless, and Clear-Headed (Shou) [98]

By the time the commotion at the Shen residence subsided, it was already one in the morning.

Many people came out from inside and, seeing Shen Jingtan still standing at the door, they all went up to talk to her.

After exchanging a few words, the women stood to the side, watching their children still playing, and couldn't help but remind them, "At this time, all the children should be going to bed."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingtan raised an eyebrow indifferently, then looked at Jiang Xiyu who was playing, and inexplicably smiled.

He had no intention of talking anymore, and others could tell that too.

The women went over and led their children to bed.

Jiang Xiyu didn't light any more fireworks for them. He only waved gently when the children called him "brother" and said goodbye.

Seeing that he was standing still and watching others without moving, Shen Jingtan raised her hand and beckoned, calling softly, "My dear, come here."

That "darling" was so affectionate and sweet.

Even the woman walking with her child couldn't help but stop and look at them with a mocking gaze.

Jiang Xiyu smiled naturally, patted his hand after taking the fireworks, and then walked calmly toward Shen Jingtan.

When he came up to her, Shen Jingtan reached out and smoothed his slightly messy hair on the side of his face, then asked him if he was sleepy.

The doting tone used when speaking to a child still made Jiang Xiyu blush slightly.

Those nearby dared not look. They coughed and turned away, forcing a smile as they said things like it was too late and they should go to rest. After exchanging a few polite words, they left with their wives and children.

Shen Jingtan took Jiang Xiyu back to the room. After taking off his suit jacket, Jiang Xiyu couldn't help but collapse onto the sofa.

He leaned back on the sofa, and from this angle, Shen Jingtan appeared even taller when she looked down at him.

Shen Jingtan was not as casual as him. Even when she took off her coat, she was elegant and refined. As the coat was removed, the man's broad shoulders and narrow waist were fully revealed by his purple shirt and vest.

Purple has a certain charm, and when worn by Shen Jingtan, that charm is brought out to its fullest. Especially when the cuffs are slowly rolled up, the bulging veins on the man's arms reveal an overwhelming masculine hormone that almost makes the air hot.

Jiang Xiyu couldn't take her eyes off him.

His gaze fell on Shen Jingtan's hands, following his movements as if he were personally undressing him, and then, on the tie.

Shen Jingtan seemed to sense something. He didn't stop tugging at his tie, but his eyes suddenly fixed on Jiang Xiyu's face, deep and dark.

Jiang Xiyu knew how terrifyingly self-disciplined this man was, and she also knew how strong and sexy his body was beneath his shirt.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Jiang Xiyu blushed and looked away first.

Shen Jingtan smiled and walked over. Seeing that Jiang Xiyu seemed a little tired, she suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu was startled for a moment, then quickly looked down at him with some confusion.

Shen Jingtan took off his shoes and then told him to go to bed.

Jiang Xiyu lowered his eyes to look at him. He was still not used to Shen Jingtan's low posture. He reached out to Shen Jingtan, wanting to help him up.

Shen Jingtan, however, grasped his hand and, while half-kneeling, remained silent for a moment before gently saying, "I haven't given you a New Year's gift yet."

Jiang Xiyu was a little embarrassed and whispered, "It's okay if I don't get a New Year's gift."

Shen Jingtan said, seemingly jokingly, "Other children have them too."

He paused for a moment, then, suppressing a laugh, said in a coaxing tone, "So, my dear Xi Yu, you need one too."

Jiang Xiyu's long eyelashes trembled for a moment, and she suddenly felt her eyes getting wet.

He hasn't given Shen Jingtan a New Year's gift yet.

Shen Jingtan knew he was always shy, so she didn't say anything mushy. She just lifted his hand and kissed the back of it.

Such a cherished gesture, in this quiet room, felt strangely tender.

Jiang Xiyu's fingertips twitched.

The next moment, I felt my fingertips touch something cold.

For a fleeting moment, the silver light reflected under the lamp caught Jiang Xiyu's eye.

Jiang Xiyu looked at the plain ring in surprise.

Shen Jingtan looked up at him, staring intently into Jiang Xiyu's eyes, unwilling to miss any expression in them.

He didn't put it on Jiang Xiyu directly, but slowly whispered his New Year's wishes to her: "In the new year, I hope my Xiyu will be healthy, happy, and blessed."

"I hope everything goes well for you, and I also hope that I can make up for everything that is missing in your life."

"I know your ideals, and I know your passions. I hope that one day, you will be the center of attention, and I can always be a branch on your branch. I hope you will always need me..."

"Is that permissible?"

"Or, would you allow yourself to become my support?"

This ring is not Jiang Xiyu's shackle.

This ring is Shen Jingtan's shackle.

He didn't propose; he didn't ask Jiang Xiyu to entrust her life to him.

He only hoped that Jiang Xiyu would need him, and what he gave was the opportunity for Jiang Xiyu to climb higher forever.

He doesn't believe in forever, but he hopes that those two words can exist.

At the beginning, when Shen Jingtan realized that she had fallen for him, she saw how Jiang Xiyu felt about Shen Xiushu and, after weighing the pros and cons, she also thought about staying away.

As Jiang Xiyu appeared before him again and again, his passion and desire gradually eroded Shen Jingtan's restraint. Perhaps, for Jiang Xiyu, these few brief encounters were just trivial matters to be forgotten, but in Shen Jingtan's eyes, they stirred up unprecedented ripples. These ripples would not dissipate with Jiang Xiyu's departure, but would instead spread to the depths of his heart, leaving him with an unforgettable memory.

Shen Jingtan wasn't the kind of person who fell in love easily, but by the time he belatedly realized it, he had already begun to have expectations for the young man and to feel sorry for him.

I look forward to his appearance, feel sorry for his moth-to-a-flame relationship, and admire his courage to decisively withdraw.

Shen Jingtan rarely acted impulsively, but the only time he did so was without hesitation, tearing down the barrier between them and Jiang Xiyu. Before their relationship began, he was consumed by longing and meticulous planning; after their relationship was established, he became anxious and prone to overthinking.

Young people's love is pure and passionate.

Shen Jingtan was past that age, and he worried that he couldn't give Jiang Xiyu the passion that someone her age wanted.

Unfortunately, his lover was too young and too eye-catching.

Shen Jingtan's support for his ideals meant that countless eyes would inevitably fall on Jiang Xiyu.

Won't he be jealous?

He will; he'll be jealous of those youthful gazes, and he'll ponder the issue of age.

However, no matter how jealous he is, he won't do anything excessive or say anything cold to upset people.

If Shen Jingtan were to express himself, he would only treat Jiang Xiyu better, better than anyone else.

There are many ways to express love in this world, and Shen Jingtan likes to light cigarettes for Jiang Xiyu and do little things for him in daily life.

He cares whether Jiang Xiyu is truly happy and comfortable with him. If she isn't genuinely happy, Shen Jingtan will only reflect on whether he has done enough.

For Shen Jingtan, power is merely a cold, lifeless thing; only emotions are the greatest asset, and in this relationship, Jiang Xiyu holds absolute power.

Shen Jingtan looked up at Jiang Xiyu, speaking to him earnestly and sincerely.

He has always been so straightforward and generous with his affections.

He wanted Jiang Xiyu to know that he had absolute control over her.

Shen Jingtan raised her hand to caress Jiang Xiyu's face, then smiled and tilted her head back to kiss his lips.

When their breaths mingled, he said, "I like being with you, even if we don't talk, I like it very much."

"You are still young. You can say you love me, and later you can say you don't love me anymore. That's your right."

"If you find a better backer and abandon me, I won't blame you."

"At least for now, I'm the mountain you can rely on, aren't I?"

"It's not that I want you to rely on me, it's that I really want to rely on you..."

Shen Jingtan pressed his nose against Jiang Xiyu's, then guided his hand to unbutton his shirt, letting his fingertips slowly caress his body, from his collarbone to his lean waist and abdomen. Finally, he led his hand to their lips, and after a long while, he pecked Jiang Xiyu's fingertips, his beautiful voice both coaxing and seductive: "Baby, do you want me?"

"Can I rely on you?"

Jiang Xiyu could no longer hold back her tears.

Those who want you can also be your support.

When their eyes met, Jiang Xiyu's eyes were moist as if writing an answer for Shen Jingtan. Then, he took the initiative to caress her and slip his fingertips into Shen Jingtan's ring.

Just as he was about to say something, Shen Jingtan suddenly grabbed Jiang Xiyu by the back of the neck, then got up and kissed him, pressing him between the sofa and her chest.

It was a deep and skillful kiss, with the man's usual gentle yet forceful touch.

Shen Jingtan's deep eyes remained fixed on him.

Jiang Xiyu closed her eyes slightly, trembling, and reached out to wrap her arms around the man's waist, beginning to actively respond to the lingering kiss.

All the answers melted into love, and at that moment, Jiang Xiyu truly felt an unprecedented happiness.
