Chapter 236 Your Ex-Husband Owes You
Chapter 236 Your Ex-Husband Owes You
I cradled his face in my other hand, and he closed his eyes comfortably, like a big dog waiting for praise.
I rubbed his face and teased, "What if I don't know how to say nice things?"
Jiang Yichen got up and walked to my side, gently shaking my hand. "That's even simpler. Give me a kiss, and your husband will give you money to spend."
As he spoke, he moved closer himself.
I pinched his mouth shut with my hand and pushed him away.
"No need, I don't want people to say that my career is all thanks to you, President Jiang. Besides, I already owe you enough money, I could never pay it back in this lifetime."
Jiang Yichen hugged me from behind, "I want you to owe me for the rest of your life, so that you'll only have eyes for me and a heart full of me. Besides, we've already remarried, so what's the point of money? You weren't good to me before, and I wasn't good to you either, so we're even now."
"I don't want to." I broke free from him. "Your aunt already looked down on me, and outsiders think I got a bargain by marrying you. I'm not like that. I'm going to show them that I, Gu Mo, am not that kind of petty person. A woman who can catch President Jiang's eye is no bad at all."
Seeing that I was getting more and more into it, Jiang Yichen didn't press me and stopped talking about the topic.
But they wouldn't let me stay any longer, no matter what.
He pulled me away from the studio, and I thought he was going to take me home.
But as the car drove further and further away, it finally stopped in front of a wedding dress shop.
"What are you doing here?"
"If you don't want money, then I'll give you a decent wedding. It's something I, your ex-husband, owe you. You can't refuse that, can you?"
Jiang Yichen opened the car door for me and helped me out of the car.
As soon as we walked in, I immediately spotted the wedding dress standing in the center.
It's not that I'm picky, it's just that this wedding dress is so strikingly beautiful.
Unlike other wedding dresses that are either simple and lightweight or have long trains.
It is inlaid with small diamonds all over, light yet dazzling, and the strapless design and appropriate amount of skin exposure make it look like a princess or a queen.
Just standing there, all the wedding dresses in the store became secondary.
Jiang Yichen's gaze lingered on me. Following the direction of my gaze, he gestured to the employee to take down the wedding dress so I could try it on.
"Madam has excellent taste. This is the most prized work of the famous French designer Amy, and it is the only one of its kind in the world."
I was led to the dressing room by an employee, and I was happily trying on clothes when they got stuck in my stomach and I couldn't pull them up no matter what I did.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been proud of my figure.
I have a great figure, and I never buy clothes online. For me, hearing store employees compliment my body is part of the shopping pleasure.
This was the first time I'd ever been shirtless, staring blankly at my employees, so embarrassed I wanted to disappear into the ground.
"Madam, are you pregnant? It's alright, let me show you some other clothes."
I nodded and quickly changed into my own clothes.
When Jiang Yichen saw me come out, he stepped forward and asked, "Are you not satisfied?"
I felt somewhat frustrated and didn't want to talk.
An employee stepped forward and said, "Madam has a great figure, but she's pregnant, so..."
"Then let's alter the clothes," Jiang Yichen said directly.
The employee was somewhat embarrassed: "This is a wedding dress designed by Amy, and there is only one of its kind. No one can alter it unless she gives her permission."
I didn't want to make things difficult for her, a junior employee, so I smoothed things over by saying, "It's okay, I see some other wedding dresses here that are quite nice, I'll try on some others."
But once you've tasted the sweetness, it's really hard to endure the bitterness.
The other wedding dresses in this store are nice, but none of them can compare to the store's prized possession in terms of workmanship and quality.
I was not interested, and Jiang Yichen noticed my thoughts, so he took my hand and left.
As soon as I got on the bus, I got angry and ignored him.
Jiang Yichen was completely baffled.
When I got home, I unbuckled my seatbelt and was about to get out of the car.
He quickly grabbed me, saying, "Honey, if you're upset, just say so. Don't bring it home."
I sat back down angrily, getting angrier the more I thought about it, so I simply bit his hand hard.
"It's all your fault! You had to insist on talking about getting extra nutrition! Now look what happened, I've turned into a pig, are you satisfied now?!"
After saying that, I got out of the car and decided that I would definitely sleep in a separate room from him tonight.
And from now on, I'm going to lose weight!
After I entered the house, my grandmother greeted me happily, followed by a maid carrying a bowl of beef soup.
"My granddaughter-in-law is back! Come and try this, it's a nutritious soup that I had the nanny stew all afternoon."
I really wasn't in the mood to eat, so I forced a smile and told my grandma, "Grandma, I'm not hungry, I don't want to drink."
After saying that, I went upstairs on my own.
After Jiang Yichen returned from parking the car, they prepared to go upstairs.
"stop."
Grandma stopped him in an annoyed manner.
Before Jiang Yichen could speak, a cane was thrown at him.
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Fortunately, Jiang Yichen dodged quickly.
Did you make my granddaughter-in-law angry?
Jiang Yichen looked worried. "How could I dare to argue with her?"
"Then why doesn't she drink the soup I made for her?"
Jiang Yichen scratched his head, "It seems like I need to lose weight."
Grandma couldn't sit still any longer and swung her cane at her again, saying, "Why are you trying to lose weight while pregnant? This is ridiculous! You should talk some sense into her."
Jiang Yichen felt truly wronged after being beaten. He was a powerful figure outside, but at home he dared not offend his elders or complain about the pregnant woman. His life was truly stifling.
"I was just about to go, Grandma, please stop hitting me, I'm going!"
Jiang Yichen went upstairs in a flash.
As soon as he entered the master bedroom and closed the door, Jiang Yichen knelt down with a thud.
"Honey, I was wrong!"
I ignored him and started rummaging through drawers and cupboards in the house.
"What are you looking for, honey?"
Seeing that I ignored him, Jiang Yichen lost interest in pretending and walked towards me.
With my back to him, I found the dumbbells I had bought before.
Turning around and seeing Jiang Yichen, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground again.
"What are you doing?"
"Wife, Grandma just hit me, please don't hit me anymore."
"I won't hit you, get up."
Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "That scared me to death. I knew my wife was the best to me."
"I want to lose weight."
Jiang Yichen knelt down on the ground with a thud.
I frowned. "Why do you, a grown man, always kneel down like that? Get up."
"Honey, let's stop dieting, okay? I'll think of another way for you."
"No, Jiang Yichen, this has never happened before when I go out to buy clothes, never! Nobody can persuade me today."
I'm determined.
Jiang Yichen stepped forward, took the dumbbells, and helped me to the bedside.
"Honey, do you trust me?"
I shook my head. "I don't believe it."
Jiang Yichen, having been rebuffed, started to adopt the "soft guy" approach again.
"Honey, give me some face."
"Good good."
"Okay! I'll take care of this!"
