Chapter 384: A bit arrogant, but determined to restore the husband's authority!

She swiftly opened the company's WeChat group and typed with agile fingers:

[Jiang Yan]: I am working from home today. Send me a message if there are any urgent matters; do not call unless necessary.

As soon as the message was sent, a neat row of replies immediately popped up below:

[Manager Zhang]: Received. Please rest well, CEO Jiang.

[Manager Li]: Understood!

[Vice General Manager Wang]: Rest assured, CEO Jiang, we have the company covered.

Looking at her subordinates' replies, Jiang Yan felt slightly relieved.

Just as she tucked her phone back under the pillow, she heard the sound of the bathroom door handle turning.

She immediately closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and pretended to be fast asleep.

...

Time was about up, and Jiang Jing walked out of the bedroom, looking refreshed.

He gently closed the door, allowing the exhausted beauty inside to continue sleeping peacefully.

He walked down the spiral staircase and arrived at the living room.

He saw Li Xue and the others sitting around the long dining table. The breakfast in front of them gave off an enticing aroma, but they didn't seem to have started eating, their gazes occasionally darting toward the staircase.

Jiang Jing walked up and found their behavior somewhat amusing.

He spoke up: "What are you all sitting there like fools for? The breakfast is ready, so just eat. No need to wait for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Ruonan rolled her eyes at him, her tone carrying a hint of mockery:

"Who's waiting for you? Don't be so full of yourself. We're waiting for Sister Jiang Yan to see if she'll come down to eat."

"Now it seems... that's not happening. She must have been thoroughly worn out by some unrestrained guy and is probably still lying in bed."

Jiang Jing's face darkened. He felt this sexy little wildcat was becoming increasingly brazen, and he feared her affection for him might have shifted.

Before he could speak, Li Xue, who was sitting next to her, gently added a jab.

Her tone carried concern and a hint of helplessness: "That's right, Brother Jing, sometimes you really are like an untiring bull."

"We're also worried about Sister Jiang Yan's health; we're afraid you don't know your own strength and will wear her out."

Her phrasing was relatively tactful, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Pfft..."

"Hee hee..."

The other women couldn't help but cover their mouths and giggle, their eyes filled with teasing and helplessness when they looked at Jiang Jing.

What they found helpless was that they were often the ones being worn out...

Jiang Jing glared at Li Xue and Li Ruonan, deliberately putting on a stern face, his tone threatening: "Oh, so that's how it is! You've all learned to be bad, haven't you?"

"It seems I've been too gentle with you at night, giving you the energy to talk back here."

"Wait for me tonight. It seems necessary to increase the intensity and reassert my husbandly authority!"

The implication was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, the smiles on the women's faces froze instantly, and they immediately blushed.

If they were really targeted by this guy tonight, they probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed tomorrow.

Thinking of this, the women immediately put on fawning expressions, their attitudes doing a 180-degree turn.

Su Xiaoxiao and Zhou Wenying, who were closest to Jiang Jing, reacted the fastest.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, grabbed Jiang Jing's right arm, and covered it with her E-cup firepower.

She swayed gently, acting coquettishly in a soft, sweet voice: "Good brother~ don't be angry. We were just joking with you~ How could you bear to really bully us?"

Zhou Wenying also quickly hugged Jiang Jing's left arm, tilted her charming little face up, and chimed in with watery eyes: "Exactly, exactly, Brother Jing is the best, the most magnanimous~ We were wrong, we won't dare to do it again~"

The other women also spoke up one after another. For a time, phrases like "Good brother," "We were wrong," and "You are the most magnanimous" filled the air, and the dining room was full of soft, pleading voices.

Feeling the amazing elasticity and soft touch against his left and right arms, and listening to the fawning in his ears, Jiang Jing squinted his eyes in enjoyment.

"That's more like it. In consideration of your good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I'll let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, the women breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles returned to their faces.

They crowded around Jiang Jing like stars surrounding the moon as he sat down, and began to diligently serve him breakfast.

Jiang Jing proudly enjoyed the women's service, feeling that his husbandly authority had been greatly reasserted.

Halfway through breakfast, Li Xue and Li Ruonan carefully placed some light and easily digestible breakfast items onto a separate tray.

"Let's take some breakfast up to Sister Jiang Yan; she must be hungry," Li Xue said softly.

Jiang Jing nodded and added: "Hmm, take more. She expended a lot of energy, so she's probably quite hungry."

Li Xue and Li Ruonan simultaneously rolled their eyes at Jiang Jing, their expressions clearly saying—isn't this all your fault?

However, they still obediently took some more pastries and fruit, then carried the tray and tiptoed upstairs.

Arriving outside the master bedroom door, Li Xue knocked gently, but there was no response from inside.

The two exchanged a look and cautiously pushed open the door.

Inside the bedroom, Jiang Yan was leaning against the headboard, holding her phone, her fingers swiping rapidly across the screen with a focused expression.

Hearing the door open, she jumped like a startled little deer, shoved her phone under the quilt, and a flash of panic crossed her face.

After seeing it was Li Xue and Li Ruonan, she breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and scolded playfully: "Oh, it's you guys. Why do you walk without making any sound? You scared me to death!"

Li Xue smiled and explained: "We were just afraid you were still sleeping and didn't want to disturb you."

She placed the tray on the bedside table.

Li Ruonan curiously leaned in, and seeing Jiang Yan's slightly guilty expression, asked amusingly: "Sister Jiang Yan, what were you doing sneakily just now? What are you hiding?"

Jiang Yan's cheeks turned slightly red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly: "No... nothing, just checking company emails and handling some work matters."

"Jiang Jing insisted that I rest well today and won't let me worry about company affairs..."

Her tone carried a bit of helplessness, but also a bit of sweetness.

Li Xue and Li Ruonan exchanged a look and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Li Ruonan teased: "My CEO Jiang, you really are a model of dedication! What time is it now? You've just been taken care of, yet you still don't forget to worry about company matters."

Li Xue also shook her head with a smile: "I really have to hand it to you; is your workaholic attribute maxed out?"

Jiang Yan was somewhat shy and annoyed by their laughter, rolled her eyes at them, and her gaze was immediately drawn to the fragrant food on the bedside table.

She couldn't be bothered to be shy anymore, swallowed her saliva, and urged: "Alright, alright, stop making fun of me. Hurry, give me the food, I'm starving to death!"

Li Xue quickly handed her the tray.

Jiang Yan took it, disregarding her image, picked up a small spoon, and began wolfing down the porridge, then picked up a xiaolongbao and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with great relish.

Watching Jiang Yan's ravenous eating, Li Xue and Li Ruonan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Then they smiled at each other, their eyes conveying the same message:

See, she really was starved... it's all the fault of that unrestrained guy.
