    Chapter 34.2: Chairman Liang Is Baffled

      “I have made some pumpkin, yam, and oats porridge with a mix of rice and millets. From now on, please refrain from eating cold and spicy food so as not to aggravate your stomach condition. Have you forgotten how much you have suffered from gastralgia?”

      As he said so, Jiang Dai swept her gaze over the food and thought that he had probably used the earthenware pot to cook the porridge to the extent where it was emitting a rich fragrance, and even each grain was tender. Even though Jiang Dai did not like porridge, it appeared to be pretty goo

      However, he had only brought over a bowl of porridge…… Yet, she had a guest here with her. 

      Jiang Dai could not help but cough lightly. “Since it has been cooked and all, would both of you like to have lunch together?”

      Qiao Jinye was calm and composed on the surface, still looking very much like an aloof idol.

      On the other hand, somewhere deep down was not lacking in thrashing waves of complicated emotions.

      All he had done was cook some porridge, and it was not like Qiao Jinye did not know how to cook. While he was having a business talk with Jiang Dai, would he have been in an unfavorable situation by giving Huo Rongshen a chance to show off for no reason?

      However, as an adult, one must have a bearing and dignity.

      Now that Huo Rongshen held her ankle in his hands, she still felt that it was rather strange even if he was once so most familiar to her……

      In particular, Qiao Jinye was still seated next to her at this time, causing her to be increasingly nervous and her body temperature to rise.

      “I-It’s alright……The skin just broke, so it’ll be alright after putting on a band-aid!” 

      As soon as the words left her mouth, Huo Rongshen took hold of her other ankle and took a glance at the back of the heel. 

      It had also reddened, but the skin was not broken.

      Even so, his brows drew together at the sight of her heels. “From now on, don’t wear shoes that are difficult to walk in. Why are you putting yourself through all this misery?”

      Upon hearing that, Jiang Dai was at a loss for words.

      In the past, this unbending chauvinist used to say similar words and would regard the rows upon rows of exquisite and beautiful high heels in her shoe cabinet with disdain, either way. On top of that, he would compare them to stilts and deem that they were unsuitable to be worn by humans.

      “Heels are easy to walk in, alright? Also, it is not like I am wearing those with exceptionally high heels. They are merely of regular height, and it was just that I had been wearing new ones yesterday, so they do not fit me very well.”

      It was evident that the unbending chauvinist’s attitude remained the same. “You are not short, so isn’t it better to wear normal shoes?”

      “……” She was nearly 170 centimeters and did not seem short at all. Hence, she hardly ever wore high heels before her sophomore year.

      At the end of the day, it was only after knowing him did she pick up on the hobby of wearing high heels.

      With her 170-centimeter height, it was far too infuriating that she was more than half a head shorter than her 190-centimeter ex-husband.

      At this point, Jiang Dai had yet to think of anything to retort him.

      On the left, Qiao Jinye stood up suddenly and stated, “I remember you have a first aid kit in your bedroom. I’ll go grab it now.”

      As he finished speaking, Qiao Jinye strode into the lift.

      As for Huo Rongshen, he still had the woman’s slender ankle in his grasp.

      She was unsure whether it was due to nervousness or shyness, but her ankle held in his hand became slightly warmer.

      With his head lowered, it took him a while before he was able to force a question out of him. “You allowed him to enter your bedroom?”

      “…………” Jiang Dai recalled it might have been that party when he went to her room since countless people wanted to visit her bedroom. Out of her generosity, she brought them in to have a gander. The first-aid kit had a prominent cross symbol on it and was also placed on a very conspicuous cabinet. After all, it was to prevent anyone from not finding it during times of crisis.

      Based on his question, she felt that Huo Rongshen might have had some misunderstanding. However, she did not think there was a need for her to give him an explanation.

      Thus, she could not be bothered to refute.

      Unsure of what was going through his mind, Huo Rongshen’s head hung low and appeared rather pale as he was half squatting on the ground.

      Jiang Dai initially thought that with Huo Rongshen’s bloody temper, he would have said some unpleasant words when she deliberately kept silent.

      For instance, things like how she could act so casually in less than two months after the divorce? How could she start dating so quickly, and to the extent that she did not watch her safety and even brought that person to her home? How could she not respect herself and allow herself to enter a relationship so quickly?

      In the end, the man brooded for some time before stating, “It is unsafe for you to live in such a massive house alone. Even though there are two security guards on duty outside, I recommend that you arrange for some to go on patrol in other areas of the villa and have someone be put on surveillance around the clock. Otherwise, it’d be perilous if a bad person is hiding in a corner amidst this massive empty house.”

      He continued, “Not only that, but you also have to hire servants and chefs. You can’t keep consuming these unhealthy takeaways since it is possible for you to be addicted to them in a few days. All in all, you should put in more effort in living out your days, so why don’t you hire several skilled chefs?”

      Initially, Jiang Dai had come up with something to retort him. Yet, who would have expected there would be a change in his manners……  

      It was so much so that she felt really guilty.

      Huo Rongshen seemed to have guessed her habits far too well.  

      When she purchased Nangang Palace, she felt terrific about it. However, only after moving in did she realize that it was far too exaggeratingly massive, and it was indeed unsuitable for an individual to live in it. Hence, it was best for her to hire a house worth of housekeepers, servants, chefs, and gardeners.

      She would then have to make arrangements for all these in the future slowly, but as of right now, she was finally able to enjoy life as a single. It was something she had never experienced before.

      Since young, she had always been living with her parents. Under their watchful eyes, she would never have any form of freedom. Subsequently, she had gotten married before graduation and began living with an old fellow, like Huo Rongshen. They even had a chef who was proficient in the eight major Chinese cuisines1 They are Szechuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Anhui cuisine, and Shandong cuisine. and cuisines of four other countries, which he would make in turns. When it came to ordering takeaways, she could only do it in the middle of the night when Huo Rongshen was not home.

      Since it was not easy for her to regain her freedom, she planned to indulge herself for a while. Thus far, she had only arranged for the servants to clean the house at noon during working days. On a day like this over the weekends, she was enjoying her quiet alone time happily.

      Noticing that she pursed her lips and remained silent, Huo Rongshen was under the impression that she was angry.

      Raising his head, he diverted his line of sight on her. “Even if we have divorced and became ordinary friends, I can still give you some advice on your lifestyle, right? Please don’t be angry.” 

      Upon hearing that, Jiang Dai mumbled, “……I am not angry.”

      Immediately right after, Qiao Jinye rushed out of the lift with a heavy first-aid kit in his hand.

      He then placed the kit on the ground and opened the lid.

      Just as he was to open a bottle of rubbing alcohol, Huo Rongshen removed a Povidone-Iodine bottle from the first-aid kit. After applying some solution onto a cotton swab, he placed Jiang Dai’s leg onto his thigh. “Let’s just use Povidone-Iodine. The rubbing alcohol is too irritant for her wound, and she is afraid of pain.”

      With the bottle of rubbing alcohol in his hand, Qiao Jinye was seething with rage as he was robbed of his job for some unknown reason.

      Watching how things panned out, Jiang Dai became somewhat helpless. “It was just bleeding a little, so a band-aid is more than sufficient. Is there a need for you guys to be so dramatic?”

      As he furrowed his brows, he lowered his head and observed for some time. “On the one hand, the wound on her left leg is not too serious, but on the other hand, her right leg is injured pretty badly. Hence, it is definitely necessary to disinfect them so that they would not be infected.”

      Just like that, two men squatted down on the carpet as they fiddled with her legs…… 

      With that, Jiang Dai thought this awkward scene would be over soon.

      Hence, Jiang Dai could not help but take a deep breath before holding it for several seconds.

      All of a sudden, a creaking sound reverberated from the foyer, and Liang Jingche, dressed in a light blue shirt and slacks, emerged from the door.

      The first thing he noticed was two men, one taller than the other, were crouching side by side on the ground by Jiang Dai’s legs.

      Confused, Liang Jingche coughed lightly and questioned, “Ahem. Is this a bad time?”


    The author has something to say:

    Author: No, Chairman Liang, you have impeccable timing!!!! _(:D)∠)_
