Three Combs: Chapter 28.1

[Previous][Table of Contents][Next]

After the feeling of being pleasantly surprised came the dissatisfaction of “being plated in the palm of a hand.”

After standing there for a while, Jiang Tiao visibly swallowed…..and walked over.

Even if she wants to become a rocket and flee in an instant, the driver’s heart is too evil.

He must have known she is coming and was simply guarding a tree stump, waiting for a rabbit to come.

And she, this silly rabbit, was simply pretending to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Jiang Tiao “proudly” walked over and found that Fu Ting Chuan already opened the door, leaving it slightly close.

She pulled open the door, letting the warm air assault her face while the cold air rush in, clearing the windows.

The man is leaning back in his seat smiling at her. He was born naturally grave and stern. Even when he smiles it looks wicked.

Jiang Tiao sat in the passenger seat and closed the door with a bang. Her face still carried some chilliness from outside.

Fu Ting Chuan wasn’t in a hurry to start the car and looked at her, “What, angry?”

Jiang Tiao lowered her head, her nose almost buried deep into her scarf, “How can I dare to be angry with you.”

“Really not angry?” Fu Ting Chuan confirmed.
Jiang Tiao lowered her eyes and played with the tassels on her scarf. She nodded twice, not looking at him.

Fu Ting Chuan felt distressed by her discomfort. He forcibly grabbed her hands that are fiddling with the strings.

“Cold?” His hold tightened as he said this.

The back of her hand was suddenly clamped hard by a warm and dry hand. The small temper in Jiang Tiao’s heart disappeared.

“Not cold.” She softly replied.

There is a Korean drama called “Warm and Cozy.” Seeing you also make me like this.

Noticing that the windows have cleared up, alarm bells rang in her head, “Let’s go. I’m afraid someone might recognize you.”

“It’s nothing. I’ve been here since 7:30. You didn’t see me when you walked past.” Fu Ting Chuan calmly replied.

“.....”

Jiang Tiao raised her hand and look at her wristwatch. It’s eleven o’clock.

She made him wait a long time! Jiang Tiao couldn't help but be startled for a moment–––Heavens, this man’s shrewdness is deep. One understatement was able to make her from angry to guilty at him.

She lightly snorted and withdrew her hand. She unwrapped the scarf and put it on her lap, “It’s not like I made you wait.”

Jiang Tiao’s stubbornness made Fu Ting Chuan unable to stop smiling, “Yes, it was me who wanted to wait.”

He really likes Jiang Tiao naturally acting like this in front of him. Arrogant, difficult, temperamental, it made him feel like a real boyfriend, not a male star she looks up to.

Jiang Tiao curiously asked, “You arranged all this?”

“No, Xiao Tong called me last night and told me you’ll be on the plane this morning.” Fu Ting Chuan put a hand on the steering wheel and truthfully reported.

“Then she really is considerate.” Jiang Tiao slightly tilts her head, “You’re resting today? No work?”

“En.” If there is no rest then rest will be squeezed in. If there is work it will become that there is no work.

––––Being in this profession until now, I have met many types of people both familiar and unfamiliar. I never thought meeting you would be so challenging and extravagant.

Thinking of this, Fu Ting Chuan sighed and covered Jiang Tiao’s hand again, interlacing their fingers.

……

At noon, Fu Ting Chuan drove Jiang Yan back to the studio.

The studio is not located in an upscale office building in the center of the city but in the Shunyi District. Boss Fu purchased a European-style villa here specifically used to house the “small family members” from work.

The staff recruited by an artist’s personal studio generally have some personal connections. In other words, an acquaintance of an acquaintance. Because they work closely with the artist and know their core information, many need to keep secrets and be loyal so that their privacy won’t be compromised. Because of that, Fu Ting Chuan’s studio doesn’t have many people, only one general manager, one executive manager, two assistants, and some other subordinates who have their own duties such as makeup artist, stylist, clothing designer, etc.

Today, the old emperor is in a good mood so he gave his subjects a day off. Only Xu Che is left in the villa.

Because, except for Xu Che this lone wolf, the other employees have a 9 to 5 work schedule and have their own families waiting for them at home.

Therefore, the task of watching the house fell on Xu Che’s head.

When he isn’t running all over the place, he and Fu Ting Chuan will live here treating it like their own home.

When Jiang Tiao and Fu Ting Chuan arrived, Xu Che is busy working in the open kitchen. The table is filled with washed and evenly sliced meats and vegetables.

As soon as he saw Jiang Tiao, he wiped his hands on the apron and quickly ran out to greet them, “Aiya, the boss's wife has graced us with her presence, welcome….”

Boss wife….well, this title is pleasant to hear but it also doesn’t seem too good.

“You can still call me Xiao Jiang.” Jiang Tiao’s temple slightly twitched.

Looking around, the furniture is generally made of wood with simple furnishing and a monochromatic palette.

A few pots of green plants are scattered around brightening up the white and gray room.

In short, it is decorated in a Scandinavian style, or should it be said that it matches the appearance of the owner of the house….indifferent and cold.

However, the geographic location and this kind of decoration, how come it doesn’t seem like a cold house?

Fu Ting Chuan hung up his and Jiang Tiao’s coat and said, “We’re having lunch here today.”

“En.” Jiang Tiao glanced at the kitchen counter, “Xu Che is making lunch?”

“I am.” As he said this, he walked to the coffee table, picked up the remote control, and turned on the TV. He changed to a variety show that most girls like to watch and continued, “You watch TV.”

Jiang Tiao, “....” She is stumped for words.
