Chapter 695: Su Wan's Misunderstanding
Chapter Six Hundred Ninety-Five
Long Xiaoshan's expression returned to calm, disregarding Shi Mingyang as if he had no more interest in talking to him.
He turned and began whispering with Su Wan.
Shi Mingyang's face couldn't have looked worse. Despite his tough talk, he felt extremely uneasy, especially when he met Long Xiaoshan's unfazed demeanor, as if the latter really meant what he said.
A twinge of regret surged in his heart, but now that the situation had escalated to this point, asking him to bow his head and apologize was something he simply couldn't bring himself to do. With so many eyes on him, after having made such harsh statements, it was impossible for him to immediately turn around and publicly slap his own face.
Feeling like he was being pierced by the many gazes, Shi Mingyang hurriedly got into his BMW and drove off quickly.
Long Xiaoshan seemed to have completely forgotten about the recent events.
He shifted all his attention to Su Wan.
Noticing Su Wan's exhausted complexion and bloodshot eyes, Long Xiaoshan frowned and said, "Sister Su Wan, you look very unwell, obviously lacking sleep."
"It's nothing, I was just working overtime at the company last night," said Su Wan nonchalantly.
The Bai's employee who intervened earlier spoke up, "Chairman Long, President Su has never left the company since she joined. She lives there and often pulls all-nighters."
"What?" Long Xiaoshan's eyebrows shot up, and he reproached, "How can you be so careless with your health? I didn't bring you into the company to work yourself to death. Don't you know this can easily lead to overwork death?"
"It's not that serious, little Yue is exaggerating..." Su Wan had not finished speaking when
Long Xiaoshan already grabbed her wrist, sending a flow of qi into her body to check her condition.
Half a minute later, Long Xiaoshan snorted coldly, "Not that serious? There are already several serious issues in your body, come with me."
Having said that, Long Xiaoshan pulled Su Wan by the hand and quickly walked to his Lamborghini, opened the door, and let her sit inside.
Seeing Long Xiaoshan apparently really angry, Su Wan didn't dare to speak and obediently got into the car.
After Long Xiaoshan got in the car, he started it up and sped to Bai's Medicinal Materials Company.
Getting out of the car, he led Su Wan to her CEO office, which was previously Bai Susu's. There was a bedroom connected to the office. Upon entering, Long Xiaoshan asked, "Isn't Susu Sister here?"
"Mhm, now she usually only comes in the afternoon, or if I call her when there's something I can't decide on. She spends the rest of her time working on the charity foundation," Su Wan explained.
Long Xiaoshan nodded, pushed open the bedroom door, and said, "Come in."
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.
Why was Long Xiaoshan asking her to go into the bedroom as soon as he returned? Could it be that this guy, driven by lust, wanted to take advantage of her?
"Hurry up!" Long Xiaoshan urged.
With her lips slightly bitten, Su Wan felt overpowered by Long Xiaoshan's commanding presence, unable to refuse. Hesitantly, she walked into the bedroom, her mind a tangled mess, unsure whether to resist, yield reluctantly, or simply let him have his way.
Long Xiaoshan spoke quickly, "Take off your jacket and lie down on the bed."
Su Wan's eyes reddened with the sense of injustice welling up inside her.
She had already been working through the night for several days, and her body was extremely fatigued.
Just now, outside, Long Xiaoshan had shown concern for her health, but the moment they got back, he was preoccupied with his lower-body desires. Did that really matter so much, feel so good, and hold such importance? After not seeing him for so long, shouldn't they have sat down to have a proper conversation, talking about what each had been up to, what had transpired, or inquired about the company's condition and whether the other was doing well, instead of disregarding her exhaustion and whether she was willing or not, and commandingly ordering her to bed to accompany him?
Yes, she didn't dislike Long Xiaoshan's coming—in fact, she was filled with gratitude towards him.
Long Xiaoshan had saved her life, her brother's life, and even gotten rid of the local bully in Baixi Village, restoring peace and order to the place.
Now, he had even made her the president of Bai's Medicinal Materials.
With such a debt of gratitude, she felt that even sleeping with Long Xiaoshan was something she ought to do.
How could she not, when she owed him so much that she likely could never repay it in a lifetime. But then, what difference did that make from what Shi Mingyang had intended, trying to buy her off with money to have his way with her? It was only a matter of different prices, after all.
Tears of grievance swirled in Su Wan's eyes, but her stubborn nature forced her to hold them back.
So be it, she thought, let's consider it repaid to him.
Out of spite, Su Wan walked to the bed and quickly stripped off her coat. Gritting her teeth, she removed her shirt and skirt as well, leaving her breathtaking figure barely covered by a bra and panties.
All it took was a glance from Long Xiaoshan to see that Su Wan had stripped so decisively, and he too was stunned on the spot.
Any man would probably not react by stopping a gorgeous woman with a stunning figure from undressing in front of him, so he just watched in silence as Su Wan took off her skirt without uttering a word.
It wasn't until Su Wan started to undo the clasp of her bra.
That Long Xiaoshan reacted, hastily saying, "Sister Su Wan, don't undo it so quickly... Ahem, I mean, don't undo it at all. Why take that off?"
With resentment filling her heart, Su Wan looked up and said, "Isn't it my body you want? Come on, what are you waiting for? Don't tell me you want to do it yourself. I get it, you men feel a sense of achievement that way, right? Fine, go ahead, you undress, you do it."
Su Wan's expression was one of sheer defiance.
Long Xiaoshan was left speechless. He had only wanted her to lie down on the bed; why had she taken it so far? He cleared his throat and said, "Sister Su Wan, I was planning to balance your body. Due to the consecutive all-nighters, your liver and kidneys are a bit problematic, along with some issues in your cardiovascular and cerebral vessels. If unaddressed, they could lead to severe consequences."
After hearing this, Su Wan remained in a daze for a while before stammering out, "You... you didn't want to do 'that' with me when you asked me onto the bed...?"
"Of course not..." Long Xiaoshan spread his hands and then revealed a sly smile, "However, since Sister Su Wan seems so eager, once your body is balanced, I'd be happy to serve. I definitely won't disappoint you, Sister Su Wan."
"Who says I want that?" Su Wan's face burned like fire, wishing she could just disappear into a crack in the ground.
She hastily picked up her clothes from the bed, intending to put them back on.
Long Xiaoshan quickly said, "Sister Su Wan, since you've taken them off, don't put them on just yet."
"What do you want to do?" Su Wan defensively covered her chest. Now that she understood Long Xiaoshan wasn't forcing her into bed, she naturally didn't want to give in to him so easily.
Long Xiaoshan explained, "I feel like a complete bastard in Sister Su Wan's eyes. Actually, my intention was to use acupressure to adjust your body, but since you've undressed, we might as well use acupuncture. It's faster and more effective. Don't worry, you don't need to remove your underwear."
