The Secret of Second Marriage

I slapped him across the face, leaving President Jiang stunned.

His arms were still around my waist as he said, "Man, there's no one in the office, we..."

"We've broken up. Please have some self-respect!"

I pushed Mr. Jiang's hand away and got off his lap.

I straightened my clothes and hair, turned my back to President Jiang, and didn't look at him again. Instead, I said to him very coldly, "I already have a fiancé. I'm sorry, President Jiang, you should find someone else."

"It was my own fault for being so pathetic, I threw myself at you, it has nothing to do with you..."

President Jiang's face darkened instantly.

After I finished speaking, I left the office.

But the next second he stood up, grabbed my hand, and snatched the phone from me. He knew my lock screen password. After entering the password, he actually transferred 52000 yuan to me using his WeChat account, and then used my phone to claim the red envelope.

"What are you doing? Give me back my phone!"

My heart was pounding. I went over to grab Mr. Jiang's hand, but he was taller than me. Holding his phone, he made me sit in his lap, hugged me, and said, "Man, happy marriage. This is my wedding gift for you."

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

In a fit of rage, I stomped hard on President Jiang's black leather shoes, making him wince in pain. Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, I snatched my phone back, slammed the office door shut, and strode away.

……

Long after I left President Jiang's office, I sat in my celebrity van with my assistant, without even having lunch, and stayed until the afternoon. After filming GG, I left.

My feelings are complicated.

But I've always had a principle: once I choose to date someone, I'll take responsibility for them. I, Jiang Man, am not a fickle woman.

I might have feelings for President Jiang, Shen Xing, and Lu Xiao, but my rational mind tells me that at this stage, Lu Xiao is the man I should spend my life with.

From that day on, I deliberately avoided meeting with President Jiang and put his phone number on my blacklist. Lu Xiao and I were busy decorating our wedding room and preparing for the wedding.

My mom and I went to the trade city and bought wedding candies, gift boxes, cups, invitations, etc. Lu Xiao's family also hired a wedding emcee, booked a big hotel, and so on.

Lu Xiao would occasionally come to meet me on dates. We would hold hands, go shopping, watch movies, and eat hot pot.

Lu Xiao said with overflowing happiness: "Man, it feels so good to have a girlfriend. I have someone to talk to, to go shopping with, to hold hands with, and to have a companion."

"After we get married, let's get a dog and then have a baby, okay?"

"fine"

I smiled gently.

But what puzzles me is that, in all the time we've been together, apart from occasionally holding hands, Lu Xiao has never kissed me, nor have we ever experienced that kind of excitement that adults feel when they blush and want to kiss, hug, and go to a hotel together.

Once, Lu Xiao saw me wearing a red dress and a white coat, coming out of the year-end industry awards ceremony. He was waiting for me outside the venue.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed, but he still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor as he said, "Man, I really want you, and I really want to go to a hotel with you. But, I promise you, our first time must be saved for our wedding night. It's a matter of respect for a girl."

After he finished speaking, he kissed my forehead affectionately, then drove me to a large shopping mall in Beijing and bought me gold jewelry.

He was driving, and I was sitting in the passenger seat. I watched him hum a song with a happy expression on his face, and then he smiled at me. I felt that this kind of life wasn't bad.

When we reached the high-end shopping area, he stood at the counter and asked to buy a diamond ring. I stopped him; that diamond ring weighed 30 grams and was worth over a million yuan.

I told the waiter, "It would be nice if you changed it to a pair of platinum pieces."

"Wow, beautiful lady, you must be a celebrity! I've seen you in TV dramas. Are you two getting engaged? Since your boyfriend is willing to buy you a million-dollar diamond ring, it shows his appreciation and respect for you. We girls should be proud and not refuse!"

The waitress, a pretty sales assistant, was trying to persuade me.

I smiled. I'm no longer the kind of woman who gets easily swayed by outsiders. After living this long, I've come to understand one thing: a man's heart is where his money is.

During this period, Lu Xiao always paid for everything when we went out, and he even gave me his salary card. He lived and ate at his workplace, and apart from business trips, he only went on dates with me and didn't have any other expenses.

I trust him, and for the sake of our future, I don't want to spend money on him.

I said, "No need. I'll just buy some gold jewelry to appreciate in value. I don't need diamonds or anything like that. I'll get a platinum ring instead."

The waiter wanted to persuade Lu Xiao, but Lu Xiao said, "I'll listen to my wife."

The waiter was instantly embarrassed and silently took back the million-dollar diamond ring, replacing it with a pair of platinum rings worth a few thousand dollars.

When no one was around, Lu Xiao secretly kissed my cheek and said, "Man, I'm so grateful to God for giving me such a kind girl. I know you didn't choose to temporarily quit just now because you wanted to save the money so we could live together in the future."

Actually, I knew from the first moment I saw you that you are a very clear-headed and down-to-earth girl.

I said, "Thank you, you're a really nice guy too."

After we bought our wedding rings, Lu Xiao took me to look at the three gold items. She was incredibly generous, buying a necklace, a bracelet, a gold rose hairpin, and gold bars, spending over 300 million yuan in total.

He signed his name with a flourish, and after paying, he left me with the receipt, document, address, and phone number for the gold.

Because gold items are so valuable, jewelry stores will send drivers to deliver the gold to customers' homes in safes, ensuring that customers don't risk carrying gold in and out of the store...

After we bought the gold jewelry, Lu Xiao insisted on dragging me to buy clothes.

He took me to the third floor to a women's clothing section, where I unexpectedly discovered a clothing store called "Alluring City". When I went inside, I saw that it was full of beautiful clothes and dresses.

I'm a woman too, and women can't resist beautiful clothes.

Lu Xiao pointed to a dress on a mannequin and asked me if I didn't like it. He wanted to buy it and give it to me.

I glanced at it and saw it was a rose-red cashmere coat paired with a black turtleneck sweater. It was incredibly slimming, cool, and elegant, a high-end piece. I looked at the price tag and saw it cost tens of thousands.

Without even glancing at the price, Lu Xiao stepped forward and politely said, "Hello, my girlfriend really likes this dress. Could you take it down so she can try it on?"

"Of course, sir."

The sales clerk spoke very politely, then walked over to take the clothes off the mannequin. It was a new style this year, with a particularly fashionable design. There was a belt around the waist, and the red color on the mannequin was dazzling, making it both mature and charming.

Then, when I was halfway through getting my order, a couple walked in from outside the store. To my surprise, I ran into Yang Yufei there.

She had seduced Xue Fan before, but after successfully becoming his girlfriend, she discovered that Xue Fan had lost his job and couldn't make much money. So she cheated on him with her ex-boyfriend, eloped with their child, and left the child with her ex-boyfriend's mother.

She had been working at the 4S store for a few months and had met a wealthy boss. Today, she walked into the store arm in arm with this boss, and that's when we met face to face.

Yang Yufei saw me, and her eyes revealed a hint of jealousy and hatred.

She then noticed the man beside me, her eyes lighting up as she asked, "Jiang Man, I never expected you to have a different man with you again... Who is this young, handsome guy? Could he be your new boyfriend?"

I frowned and said, "My affairs are none of your business."

"Take that off, I want to try it on. Ha, Sister Jiang, you're over 30, and you're still wearing such red, aren't you ashamed?"

Yang Yufei sneered, and when she saw the red designer cashmere coat I had my eye on, she immediately spoke to the sales clerk.

I smiled faintly: "It's still better than you. You're so young, and your romantic history is so messy that it could fill 10 books. You seduced my ex-husband, then dumped him because you thought he was poor."

Now she's leaving her child at her ex's house and has found a boyfriend who's much older than her.

This man looks to be over 40; he probably has a wife. You're not cheating on me again, are you? Yang Yufei, you're incorrigible!

"It's none of your business!"

Yang Yufei became even more enraged by what I said and tried to take the coat from me, saying, "I did want to have a good relationship with Xue Fan, but what about you? You had to expose it online and apologize, causing Xue Fan to lose his job."

She even exposed my yoga shop. I spent so much money decorating, hiring spokespeople, and promoting my yoga shop, and you, this vicious woman, ruined it all.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a miserable state. I will hate you forever!

"You brought this on yourself!"

I say.

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument, Yang Yufei immediately started crying and sobbing to the big boss of the 40 companies next to her, saying in a coquettish tone with tears streaming down her face, "It's her, it's this old woman who's jealous that I'm younger and prettier than her, and she's been bullying me all along."

"Mr. Sheng, you have to avenge me! Didn't you say you were coming to buy me a gift? I want that red coat. Will you buy it for me?"

"Yufei, since you've taken a liking to it, I'll buy it."

The middle-aged boss surnamed Sheng seemed to dote on Yang Yufei quite a bit, telling the sales clerk to wrap up the clothes without her having to try them on.

The sales clerk said, somewhat embarrassed, "I'm sorry, this lady has taken a liking to it first. Let her try it on first. If she doesn't like it later, I'll wrap it up for her!"

Yang Yufei instantly flew into a rage: "Do you know I'm a VIP customer of this store? What do you mean? Does that mean I can't afford it? You only give it to me because other people tried it on and didn't want it anymore! Do I look like I'm getting a bargain? Why should I?"

Wrap that dress up right now! I want this dress, and I'll pay for it immediately. If you dare let that bitch touch it, I'll never shop here again!
