Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul

Proofread by He Li

“I know that you are kindhearted, so if you keep the shares, I can be at ease. But if you’re determined to leave, this can also be regarded as compensation.”

In a firm tone, grandfather Gong sounds irresistible. But Si Wan knows that she definitely can’t take the shares; after careful consideration, she makes a concession.

“Grandfather, how about this? Since the shares will be mine after I leave the Gong Family, now you might as well hold them for me. Since there is still a long time, I think it will be better that you keep them.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As Si Wan puts forward a compromise, after a little consideration, grandfather Gong also finds it reasonable, so he takes the advice and gathers all the materials. Seeing this, Si Wan relaxes a little, but still knits her brows. Although she has persuaded grandfather to keep the shares for now, she can’t make sure that he won’t force her to accept them in the future. She still has to find a way to refuse.

With a load on her mind, Si Wan returns to her room. The empty room feels extremely lonely, but soon afterwards she may even lose this loneliness.

“Boss Gong, this is today’s schedule.” In the elevator, the assistant is saying something to Gong Siming with a schedule in his hand. Si Wan stands in the corner of the elevator, feeling a little awkward.

Last night, he still didn’t come back. But unexpectedly, she meets him in the elevator this morning. She wants to say hello, but is daunted by his alienated eyes.

It will not be long before she leaves, thus it makes no sense to draw his attention again now. So be it. It’s fine. Si Wan lowers her head to cover the sadness in her eyes, without noticing that Gong Siming is frowning.

Recently she has been quite silent. In the past, her eyes are always fixed on him, but now, she seems to be ready to disappear. This gives Gong Siming an unusual feeling. Does he start to care about her?

Being astonished by his sudden thought, Gong Siming utters a snorting laugh.

How is this possible?

Presumably, this is another trick through which she attracts his attention. Thinking of the unfavorable possibilities, Gong Siming sees Si Wan walks straight out of the elevator with a calm face.

“This damned woman…” Si Wan always looks superior and invulnerable, which he hates a lot. Staring at her, Gong Siming notices that she even didn’t give him a look, which makes him a little indignant. Noticing the awkwardness and seeing Si Wan’s leaving, the assistant wants to say something to moderate the atmosphere, but is scared by Gong Siming’s appalling look.

“What’s wrong, Boss Gong?” The assistant speaks haltingly, but is scared by the fury in his eyes.

“Nothing.” Gong Siming grits his teeth. Since when can she influence his emotions? It looks not good.

“Director Si is getting close to Boss Mu recently. Many people in our company saw them have lunch together, they are really well-matched!” Finding Gong Siming looking at Si Wan who just left, the assistant, with a loose tongue, speaks out the gossip spreading in the company. After his words, the assistant realizes that the man beside him is Gong Siming, the husband of Director Si, so he immediately gets alarmed and panicky.

“Mind your own business, don’t poke your nose into others.” As expected, Gong Siming turns unpleasant after hearing this. Surrounded by obvious coldness, he strides out of the elevator, leaving the frightened assistant alone.

At the same time, Mu Zhishen pursues Si Wan more and more fervently. He wait for Si Wan at the gate of the company every day after work, even if Si Wan intentionally stays late at work, he still waits until seeing her.

“I’ve told you there is no need to wait for me. I can go back myself.” After work, Si Wan happens to see that Mu Zhishen is waiting for her with his body leaning on the car. A handsome man and a hot car absolutely form a beautiful scenery, but Si Wan is not intended to appreciate it.

“Mu Zhishen, I think I have clearly refused you before.” In fact, this has caused a headache to Si Wan, as she is already tired after working all day, so she doesn’t want to waste time on such things.

“I know, but we are still friends, aren’t we?” The man with bright eyes and white teeth gives her a bright smile, which makes her give in. Being a gentleman, Mu Zhishen opens the door for her, and Si Wan has no choice but to smile.

“I hope I can have this honor to drive the beautiful lady home.”

It is a truth that such a gentleman as Mu Zhishen can win thousands of women’s heart. Only in a moment, Si Wan can already sense that several people are looking at them with curiosity.

Si Wan has to make a compromise and gets on his car as she doesn’t want to be a focus. Seeing the light smile on his face, lots of girls are fascinated by Mu Zhishen.

“Depending on your identity and appearance, you can get any woman you like. Why do you have to put all your eggs in one basket?” Looking at him, Si Wan feels both angry and funny, but Mu Zhishen doesn’t think so.

“But I’d only take a spoon of water out of the entire ocean.” Mu Zhishen gives Si Wan a charming smile, like a crystal fountain flowing into her heart. If she had no one in her heart, she would have fallen.

“But the question is that I don’t belong to the ocean any longer.” A glimmer of cunning flashes through Si Wan’s eyes, making Mu Zhishen very awkward.

“Well then, please allow me to drive the single girl home as a friend.” Starting the car, Mu Zhishen and Si Wan laughs and chats with each other, without noticing Gong Siming who stands not far away and silently looks attentively at them.

He feels a little unpleasant after seeing Si Wan get on Mu Zhishen’s car. The words that the assistant said this morning also ring in his ears again and again, “Getting closer and closer to Mu Zhishen recently, what a woman of easy virtue.”

Gong Siming gives a sneer and his heart feels like being blocked by a big stone. At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rings loudly. Drawing back his sight, Gong Siming’s face turns serious.

“How’s it going?” Gong Siming’s voice sounds unpleasant, and he looks sterner after hearing the report from the other side.

“If you can’t handle such trifles, you will lose your position.” Gong Siming speaks in a low voice, and a fierce look flashes through his face. He turns around and leaves in a hurry, vaguely feeling a thorn in his flesh after a glance at the two in the car.

“Let’s go.” Opening the door of the car, Gong Siming says to the man inside. When he is about to get on the car, the smiling face of Si Wan happens to flash past. Knitting his brows, Gong Siming holds back the displeasure in his heart and directly gets in to leave.

Now he is not free to think about Si Wan since dealing with work has already made his hand full. As for Si Wan, Gong Siming clenches his hands on his knees: it won’t be late to fix her after smoothing things out.
