Capítulo 19: I Can Touch Her
Traductor: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Ke stood in the shop and bit her lip. She didn't know how to explain. How could he not have bad taste if he liked a woman like Xia Qing?
"I'll give you three seconds to think of a way to explain yourself." Jiang Chuanyao's voice was cold.
Xia Ke blinked and suddenly sobbed. "Mr. Jiang, are you angry? I'm so scared. I won't buy clothes anymore. I want to go home…"
Jiang Chuanyao was stunned and heaved a sigh of relief. He had forgotten that Xia Ke was a fool. Why was he arguing with a fool?
Jiang Chuanyao glanced at her coldly. There were still Xia Qing and the others in the shop. With Xia Ke's intelligence, she wouldn't say that he had bad taste in women. She probably heard it from Xia Qing. He didn't need to think to know how they would mock Xia Ke. These women actually dared to bully his little bride.
Jiang Chuanyao wanted to flare up, but he was afraid of scaring Xia Ke. He could only suppress his anger and say in a low voice, "I told you to buy some clothes. I'm not angry."
Xia Ke rolled her eyes. Jiang Chuanyao's voice was so cold that it could freeze someone, but he was saying that he wasn't angry. He probably just realized that she was a fool and didn't want to argue with her! Thus, she continued to pretend to be a fool and said relentlessly, "But Xia Qing is also in the shop. If you're buying clothes for her as well, then I don't want to shop anymore!"
"Buy clothes for Xia Qing?" Jiang Chuanyao was stunned. Only then did he remember what had happened in the morning. He suppressed his anger and explained, "I'm not buying clothes for her. I had a company meeting earlier that I had to attend, so I asked her to pick a few clothes for you. You don't like the clothes that I picked out for you in the wardrobe, no?" He had felt that he had forgotten something during the meeting. After the meeting, he remembered that it was Xia Ke's birthday today.
The young man in the car opened his mouth wide. "Jiang Chuanyao, did I hear wrongly? You're helping a woman choose clothes? And you're coaxing her?"
Jiang Chuanyao glanced at him coldly. This man was his childhood friend, Li Xifeng, the heir of the Li family. He gave Li Xifeng a warning look, signaling him to shut up.
Jiang Chuanyao continued to say into the phone, "If you don't want to try on clothes with others in the shop, tell Uncle Qin to clear the place. You can shop alone."
Li Xifeng was shocked, and his eyes were about to pop out. Was this man still Jiang Chuanyao? Jiang Chuanyao was decisive, hateful, and cold-blooded! He was actually coaxing a woman now?!
In the clothing store, Xia Ke subconsciously breathed lightly. It turned out that the clothes in the wardrobe were chosen by Jiang Chuanyao. No wonder his expression was so ugly when he saw that she was not wearing the new clothes in the morning. Her heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable feeling that was a little soft.
Xia Ke asked with uncertainty, "You know my birthday?" Other than her deceased mother, no one else remembered her birthday. Her father didn't even know what day it was, let alone her stepmother and two sisters. She was redundant in the Xia family.
Jiang Chuanyao hummed nonchalantly. He only remembered Xia Ke's birthday after reading the information his subordinates had investigated. He also knew that she turned 19 years old today.
Jiang Chuanyao looked at the time and said, "I'll get the servants to make dinner tonight. Go home early for dinner after you buy your clothes."
Xia Ke nodded. From the corner of her eye, she saw Xia Qing trying on clothes in the mirror. She suddenly blurted out, "Was Xia Qing with you last night…"
Unfortunately, there was a busy tone on the other end of the line, and the call was hung up.
Xia Ke had mixed feelings. Did Jiang Chuanyao not want to answer her? Or was he running away? Who did he want to marry? Or did he want to two-time?
Xia Ke pursed her lips and labeled Jiang Chuanyao as a ruthless man in her heart.
"Go to the hospital," Jiang Chuanyao instructed the driver. He had already hung up the phone, so he naturally didn't hear Xia Ke's question. He wasn't in a good mood today and had just asked the doctor to check on his hidden illness. He got into a car accident when he was 17 years old, which caused him to be hospitalized for three months. After he was discharged, his temper changed drastically. Not only did his temper become violent, but he also couldn't touch women. Once he had intimate contact with women, even if it was just holding hands, he could become manic. Sometimes, when it was serious, he would even become violent. It was as if he had become a different person, like he didn't know who he was and couldn't control his actions. All these years, the Jiang family had spent a lot of money to hire famous doctors both domestically and overseas, but these famous doctors were helpless against his illness. They couldn't even find the cause.
However, yesterday, Jiang Chuanyao kissed Xia Ke in the bathtub. After being rejected, he slammed the door and left. Firstly, he felt that his dignity as a man had been thwarted. Secondly, he was afraid that his illness would act up and he would hurt Xia Ke. However, unexpectedly, his illness did not act up. In other words, he could touch Xia Ke.
