Chapter 31: Part 1 — He wanted to personally tell her, I am sorry.

Chapter 31: Part 1 — He wanted to personally tell her, I am sorry.

Because Jiang Jingchuan had made such a fuss, Su Yan was not in the mood to continue watching the drama. She had comfortably reclined on the sofa and was practising Pinyin. She felt that Pinyin was quite simple and had already learnt many of them. She believed that after a period of time, she would easily be able to send messages.

Jiang Jingchuans lust was temporarily relieved. He focused and began to earnestly work. When he started the videoconference he didnt ignore Su Yan. Each and every technical term spoken by him made Su Yan stupified.

While working, Jiang Jingchuan became different from his usual self. In fact, Jiang Jingchuan was not at all an expert at mincing his words. In the video conference which was currently being held, his manner of speaking was neither too slow nor too fast. It invoked a sense of complete trust in the speaker. Which woman would not like this serious side of a man? Su Yan included. She rested her chin on her hand and sighed with emotion while looking at him, such a superb man.

She began to believe that the original body and Shen Peiran were absolutely in true love, or else a woman with even a little bit of a brain, will choose Jiang Jingchuan. Not saying that Shen Peiran was not good, Shen Peiran was also a man of striking appearance. Looking at it this way, he also was equally good, but compared to Jiang Jingchuan, he fell more than a little short.

In the half year since her marriage with Jiang Jingchuan, the original body could ignore him, and devote her heart and soul to Shen Peiran. If this was not true love then Su Yan refused to believe anything.

From a bystanders point of view, she felt pity for Shen Peiran, because it was not that his lover did not love him, but she could not love him. Su Yan did not know where the original body had gone, but had a strong premonition that the original body would not return. As for whether or not the original body had occupied another person, she did not know.

After Jiang Jingchuan quickly finished his work, he looked down at his wristwatch. It was already approaching 10 oclock. He tidied things up, picked up his car keys, and took Su Yan with him as he got off work.

At this time of the night, there werent many people left in the Jiang Corporation. Except for certain male programmers who were still working hard, it was extremely quiet inside the large building. As Su Yan traversed the smooth reflective marble flooring, each step she took in her high heels resounded throughout the hallway.

Do you want to go out for late night snacks?Jiang Jingchuan suddenly had the mood. He turned to ask Su Yan while sitting in the car, Near my maternal grandmothers house there is a long snack street and it is also in the vicinity of a university. The food there is very delicious. Do you want to try it?

Since Su Yan had already taken a rest on the sofa for a while, now she wasnt sleepy at all, and considering Jiang Jingchuan was inviting her to go with him to recall the past, she had no option but to throw in her lot with this gentleman, at the risk of her life.

Sure.

You can sleep for a while, when we reach there I will tell you.Jiang Jingchuan carefully adjusted the cars air conditioner to a cozy temperature. He took his western style overcoat from the backseat and placed it on Su Yans lap, It is rather far, I estimate that it will take more than half an hour.

If I sleep, who will talk with you? Su Yan softly smiled at Jiang Jingchuan while leaning back on the seat.

No need. Jiang Jingchuan concentrated on the traffic ahead, and said with a smile: Just sit next to me like this.

If a person returned to his apartment after working overtime countless times, with no one in the car, no one in the condominium, he would assume he has gotten used to it. But when an individual with such a bearing entered into his life in such a short time, now, he believed he wouldnt be able to endure loneliness anymore.

Su Yan shrugged her shoulder, Okay, I will sleep for a while, if you get bored you can wake me up.

Jiang Jingchuan laughed while shaking his head: Its okay, I dont dare provoke your wrath after you wake up.

After I returned here, I once came to look at my maternal grandmothers home nearby, and came to this area by accident. I dont come here regularly, but when I am free, I sometimes come here.Jiang Jingchuan took out two pairs of chopsticks from a cylindrical chopstick holder, then seeing that the owners attention wasnt on their side, he winked at Su Yan and whispered: In a vendors stall like this, you cant expect hygienic condition here, therefore you can only eat here once in a while.

In between the lines, Su Yan could feel that Jiang Jingchuan really cherished the memories of his maternal grandmother, and that sort of adoration a child would have for their parents can be fully felt.

Is grandmas home still here? Su Yan asked with a smile.

A person who fondly cherished the memories of their deceased family member, was unlikely to turn rotten.

Jiang Jingchuan nodded and sighed: Both of my maternal uncles are very filial. They refuse to part with and sell off the house. In fact, the housing price per block isnt low. My ma didnt think that that house was essential. But my uncles straightforwardly said that they would keep it, so they could come back again and again whenever they wanted to or whenever they missed it.

Actually Jiang Jingchuan really liked his mothers side of the family. Although they might not have great abilities, every one of them were hard workers, and moreover they were very good and honest.

Well, when you have free time, can you take me with you to visit? Su Yan knew that Jiang Jingchuans most fondest memories were of his maternal grandmother. She could understand that, because it was the same for her. Her most warm memories were of her parents and her wet nurse. Needless to say, no matter how much hardened your heart becomes, or how wordly a person becomes, once they recall those memories, they instantly soften.

After hearing Su Yan's words, Jiang Jingchuan couldnt come up with a reply for a moment, and could only stare at her in a trance. Then in these busy streets, he couldnt help but stretch out his hand to stroke her face, and with a smile he said: Of course, I will.

There was one song, though he forgot the name, and only remembered one sentence of the lyrics, which had especially made an impression.

I want to take you with me to my grandmothers home, watching the sunset together, till we fall asleep.

The most regretful thing was that he couldnt let his grandma see him marry his wife, but it doesnt matter, he will take Su Yan to go see his maternal grandmother, and also to his childhood room he felt so nostalgic about. He would tell her about all the memories associated with that place.

Oh by the way, you need to pack up in two days, we will get ready to go out after a few days. This was what Jiang Jingchuan had planned for a long time, he finally decided to go to an island. As it happens, a friend he met while staying abroad had a private mansion on that island. His work schedule had finally been arranged. He could basically take a weeks holiday, enough for them to breathe freely.

Su Yan was still very interested in that single matter. After hearing that Jiang Jingchuan had really arranged it, her face immediately lit up with pleasure and if she could, she would have hugged Jiang Jingchuan right now.

She really wanted to go out!

Wanted to go out and have fun!

During childhood while staying at home, as a well-bred lady from a good family, she held on for 10 years, and then in the Imperial Harem, she suppressed her desire for another 10 years. Now, she finally could go wherever she wanted to!
