Chapter 957 Falling in Love with My Brother's Dangerous Friend (9)
Jiang Xuan took out her phone. "I'll have someone send some clothes over."
"Huh?" Shen Shuyi released her hand that was gently tugging at his suit pants.
Jiang Xuan glanced at her. "I need to take a shower now."
Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up. "You've agreed to stay?"
"Hmm." Jiang Xuan looked at her after finishing the call. "Your constitution is too weak. You need to exercise properly."
"Then I'd like to work out with you."
"Sure, but can you hold on?"
"Of course." Shen Shuyi leaned forward, bravely hugged him, and said against his chest, "Brother Jiang, I missed you."
Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, his movements as he removed his tie froze.
"Take your medicine and lie down. I'm going to the guest room to take a shower."
Seeing that he was indeed tired, Shen Shuyi quickly let go of his hand, "Okay."
Jiang Xuan went to the guest room next door to take a shower. Shen Shuyi played on her phone in bed for a while, then suddenly heard the doorbell and got up.
She received the clothes delivered by the housekeeper and, estimating that Jiang Xuan would be finished showering soon, delivered them to the next room.
"Knock knock~~"
"Brother Jiang, I brought you some clothes."
Just as she was about to knock twice more, the bathroom door suddenly opened.
Shen Shuyi's hand almost hit Jiang Xuan's chest; he was still only wearing a bath towel, his bare skin steaming.
She quickly withdrew her hand, "Brother Jiang, I brought you some clothes."
"Yes, thank you." Jiang Xuan looked down at her.
Shen Shuyi stepped aside to let the man out.
Her gaze followed Jiang Xuan. The man had just finished showering and still had a towel in his hand to dry his hair.
Jiang Xuan raised his hand to wipe his hair, his arm muscles flexing, looking particularly strong.
Shen Shuyi's gaze unconsciously fell on the man's broad shoulders and narrow waist, especially his long legs, which exuded hormones.
She swallowed hard. No, this man's physique is just too good! He's usually hidden under his suit, and although I've had my imagination, he's much better than I could have imagined!
Jiang Xuan turned around to look at her, and Shen Shuyi almost bumped into someone.
A smile played on the man's lips. "Shuyi, I need to change my clothes."
He took out a black shirt, put it on, and looked at the girl in front of him, whose ears were slightly red, while fastening the buttons with his slender, fair fingers.
Shen Shuyi turned her face away shyly and then turned around, saying, "You can change."
Jiang Xuan didn't try to avoid it; he simply pulled off the bath towel and put on his trousers.
"Did you take your medicine?"
Shen Shuyi turned around and saw that the man was already dressed, wearing a casual shirt and trousers. The buttons on his collar were not as neatly fastened as before, and his clearly visible collarbone made him look several years younger than usual.
"I've eaten."
She walked over, her almond-shaped eyes innocent. "I saw the housekeeper also brought some documents. Are you going to the study to handle your work now?"
Jiang Xuan leaned slightly closer to her and chuckled, "Do I look like the kind of person who works herself to death?"
"Shuyi, I haven't had a proper rest for several days."
"Then you should take a nap. I'll wake you up when it's time for lunch!" Shen Shuyi glanced at the guest room. "The guest room is usually cleaned, but I don't know if you'll be able to sleep there."
"Why don't you come over and talk to me?" She quickly covered her mouth, swallowing back the words that were about to come out.
Jiang Xuan straightened up. "Hmm?"
Shen Shuyi blinked. "What I mean is, you can come find me if you need anything."
"After all, I am the master now."
"Okay, you should go back and rest too. Don't play on your phone while you're sick," Jiang Xuan said calmly.
Before leaving, Shen Shuyi suddenly turned back and asked Jiang Xuan, "Brother Jiang, what kind of romantic relationship did you talk about before, which wasn't like playing house?"
"I'll tell you when you're better."
Shen Shuyi recalled what her family doctor had said: during illness, she should eat a light diet and avoid strenuous exercise.
I really don't know if that's what the man meant.
Shen Shuyi didn't think much of it; she took the medicine and fell asleep quickly.
I don't know how long I slept, but I vaguely heard the door open and felt Jiang Xuan walk in. I also felt his hand touch my forehead.
Shen Shuyi opened her eyes half-asleep. "Did I oversleep?"
"It's only noon, are you hungry?" Jiang Xuan withdrew his hand.
Shen Shuyi sat up. "A little."
Just then, the phone rang.
"Oh, it's my brother inviting me to dinner tomorrow with a few friends," Shen Shuyi said to Jiang Xuan after finishing the call.
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Xuan's phone rang.
The two exchanged a glance, and Shen Shuyi guessed, "Could it be a call from my brother?"
"Ah."
"He also made an appointment with me."
"Want to go together?"
"Don't worry, I'm almost fully recovered. At most, I just won't drink alcohol."
"Are you going or not?" Shen Shuyi asked Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan put away his phone and said meaningfully:
"Go, I'll keep an eye on you."
"Hmph, I'm very self-disciplined, okay!" Shen Shuyi glared at him.
Jiang Xuan was genuinely taking care of her while she was sick. He would check on her condition every day and only send her to the private room at the party after confirming that she was really alright.
Shen Jia was no longer surprised to see Shen Shuyi get out of Jiang Xuan's car, after all, it was Jiang Xuan who asked his good friend to pick up his younger sister on the way.
During the meal, Shen Shuyi originally intended to sit next to Shen Jia as usual, but Jiang Xuan pulled her and she sat down next to Jiang Xuan.
No one present noticed this.
A subtle feeling welled up in Shen Shuyi's heart. She wondered what the people present would think if they found out that she was dating Jiang Xuan, someone she had absolutely no connection with.
"Young Master Jiang, this toast is for you. Congratulations on completing another big project."
Jiang Xuan raised his glass and drank from one of the glasses.
Shen Shuyi could tell that Jiang Xuan considered Shen Jia and the others as friends; otherwise, he wouldn't have had an extra drink.
She reached out and quietly squeezed Jiang Xuan's hand, mouthing: Drink less.
Whether Jiang Xuan was drunk or not, he gripped her hand tightly and even rubbed the back of her hand a few times.
Shen Shuyi furtively glanced around at the people who were drinking and laughing, then guiltily withdrew her hand.
Jiang Xuan forcefully grabbed her hand and placed it on his knee.
Holding hands, Shen Shuyi suddenly looked up at Jiang Xuan.
This man must be drunk.
Since she couldn't break free, she simply turned her hand over and drew circles on his palm.
Jiang Xuan held a wine glass in one hand, chatting and laughing with others, while his other hand felt the girl's soft fingers.
When the party ended, the group left together.
Shen Jia had drunk a bit too much and instructed the driver to take Shen Shuyi home.
At this moment, Jiang Xuan spoke up, "My driver is here. Give Shuyi a ride on the way."
Shen Jia was really drunk, and didn't even notice that Jiang Xuan's way of addressing Shen Shuyi had changed.
"Okay, I'll have the driver slow down later."
"Xiao Yi, send me a message when you get home."
"Don't worry, brother." Shen Shuyi waved to him and then said goodbye to the others.
As soon as Shen Shuyi got into the car and sat down, she saw the man lean over and sniff her cheek.
Shen Shuyi was taken aback. "What's wrong?"
"It smells like strawberries." Jiang Xuan kissed her on the cheek as he spoke.
She thought it would just pass by, but unexpectedly, the man's head was right next to her neck.
Shen Shuyi quickly covered her neck with her hand, "It itches, Brother Jiang, don't get too close."
