Three Combs: Chapter 24.1


At the end of the event, Fu Ting Chuan was escorted out by the staff. The girls immediately rushed over, like a group of small thumbtacks sticking to a magnet.

Jiang Tiao stood in place and waited for the crowd to disperse before she neatens her coat and walked out of the mall.

For some reason, she felt like she is looking through rose-tinted glasses. Everything looks like a dream.

No matter how much you go over it in your heart, you are already Fu Ting Chuan’s girlfriend. But that kind of surreality still lingers. It can be seen not touched, but it exists at the bottom of your heart.

Just as she walked in a daze to the entrance, cold air rushed toward her.

En, it can’t be an illusion. After all, winter in the south is very cold.

“Jiang Tiao.” Someone called to her.

She looked to the side and didn’t expect to see Xu Che.

He is standing against a wall and wearing a woven hat. His bangs which are usually combed up are pressed down making him appear younger.

Compared to her surprise, Xu Che calmly walked to her and smiled, “What a coincidence to see you here.”

Without waiting for her reply, Xu Che put something in her hand and whispered, “For you.”

“Ah?”

“Hold it well. I’m going.” Xu Che quickly made his decision and winked, “Remember to open the door for him.”

After he said this, he brushed his clothes, feeling accomplished for what he did.

Jiang Tiao, “....”

She looked down and saw a pure black leather card holder from Montblanc.

Because Assistant Xu was acting too mysterious, Jiang Tiao also didn’t find it convenient to open it in public. She found an empty spot and carefully took it out.

The heat suddenly burned from her cheeks to the tip of her ears.

It’s…..a room card for Hangzhou Tower’s guest room number 2024.

Jiang Tiao also looked carefully inside the cardholder to make sure there is nothing else inside.

There is nothing else inside. It is only a card with no other hints. Is it for her to go to this room to find him?

It’s a bit strange and mysterious. After all, it is between a man and a woman. It’s hard to guarantee that you won’t associate with strange things...

Although she thinks this, Jiang Tiao still quickly rushes to find an elevator, her heels clacking against the marble floor. She is afraid that if she were to go any slower, what would happen if Fu Ting Chuan is left hanging outside?

On this planet, the mantra "mouth says yes, heart no" applies heavily to women.
Walking down the long dark carpeted hallway, Jiang Tiao found Room 2024.

The carved wooden door is closed. She took a deep breath, her chest visibly rising, and scanned the card.

Ding.

The door unlocked. She gently pushed it open and look around.

Jiang Tiao breathed a sigh of relief, he hasn't come yet.

The curtains are pulled open, allowing the sunlight to spill in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, brightly illuminating the entire bedroom.

Jiang Tiao nimbly inserts the card in the wall slot, turning on the lights.

She is a meticulous girl and immediately takes into consideration that paparazzi can expose love affairs through the windows.

So, her first priority is to draw the curtains.

The thick and heavy curtains immediately blocked out the light, turning day to night.

Jiang Tiao found the kettle and went to the restroom to fill it up as she starts to boil the water. Fu Ting Chuan just got off the stage so he must be quite thirsty.

It can be said that Jiang Tiao this woman who, even if one day she lost passion for her career and doesn’t want to run about anymore, she can still return to her family and be a good wife and mother.

After a few minutes, Jiang Tiao dumped the first pot of boiling water which was to disinfect the kettle. Then, she started to boil a second pot.

The kettle whistled as white steam rise up.

Sweat has already started to form on Jiang Tiao’s forehead. She sat back on the desk and took out her phone to rest.

As soon as she opened Weibo, there are already girls who have uploaded retouched photos from today’s event online. The images look brighter and the skin is obviously smoothened out. The smile lines are quite lighter than it was at the scene.

Jiang Tiao rests her cheek on her hand and giggled. She is no different from those other fangirls.

While she sat there with her head tilted and scrolling through the posts, she starts to fall into a daze. She feels that at this moment, she is like a married woman waiting for her husband to come home. Bored and yearning.

Da.

A soft ring reminded her that the second pot of water is boiled.

Jiang Tiao put down the phone and rushed to unplug the port.

Before she even bent down, two knocks came from the door. The sound is crisp and clear in her ears.

The knock isn’t loud and the force was moderate, not light or heavy. It is a very polite request.

Jiang Tiao looked through the door hole and saw him!

God, her heart started to jump like a mad rabbit. Jiang Tiao hurriedly turned her head to look at her reflection in the glass cabinet and organize her appearance.

Hair, she quickly placed the stray hairs behind her ear. Face, she made a few expressions to loosen her facial muscles then she pursed her lips. The lipstick looks good! It should be okay…..

Jiang Tiao slowly opened the door little by little revealing a slight sliver.

What is she nervous about. It’s not like it is a thief.

The man standing outside did not mind her slow movements. He stood in place, not urgent or anxious.

He looks dashing in the well-fitted suit, just like he did on the stage.

After seeing him completely, Jiang Tiao finally let go of the handle and open the door completely for him to enter.

The young woman’s cheeks are still burning. The last time she had contact with this person, they still had a comfortable actor and makeup artist relationship.

After some time, she finally said, “Long time no see.”

“Long time no see.” Fu Ting Chuan walked into the room with ease and left the door ajar.

Fu Ting Chuan is tall and hefty so when he came in, the small entryway became even more narrow.

Jiang Tiao could help but back up to the wall to give him more space.

Fu Ting Chuan unbuttons his suit jacket with one hand. It did not affect how his body looked which is like a natural hanger.

Too….sexy. Jiang Tiao’s nose burned.

Fu Ting Chuan stood there for a moment and scanned the room. He then turned to the woman in front of him and smiled, “You pulled the curtains?”

When he spoke, his deep voice is filled with warmth and affection.

Blood rushed to her brain. Jiang Tiao swallowed, “Yes. I was afraid you would get photographed by the paparazzi.”

“Oh…” His reply is filled with many meanings.
