As soon as the words fell, the air in the living room seemed to freeze. Everyone lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe too heavily.
After finishing everything that needed to be explained, Calisto went upstairs. He still had to hold his Baby while they slept.
Of course, no one who could work at Elmont Estate was a fool.
The matter from that morning naturally referred to the fact that they had not immediately followed their instructions regarding Jiang Xuning. That had made him very angry.
While Luo Wen and the others were shocked inside, they also understood the importance Madam held in Sir’s heart. From now on, Madam would have to come first in everything—even before Sir himself.
When Jiang Xuning woke up in the afternoon, she began her grand plan to renovate the Estate.
The other areas could wait. The most urgent thing was to renovate the bedroom. It was far too large, empty, and gloomy.
Luo Wen was very capable. The moment Jiang Xuning expressed her ideas, he immediately put them into action. By the end of the afternoon, the bedroom had already been transformed into something she was satisfied with.
“Not bad. Now this feels like home.” Jiang Xuning was very pleased as she looked at the result before her.
“You’ve worked hard, Luo Wen.”
“Madam, you’re too kind. It’s my honor to be of service to you.”
After spending the afternoon with her, Luo Wen discovered that Madam was not only beautiful, but also extremely easy to get along with.
Compared with Sir, she was practically an angel among angels. With Madam at the Estate from now on, their happiness was sure to rise in a straight line.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the study was nothing like the harmonious one in the bedroom.
Standing below, Molu’an and the others were suffering inwardly. Today, Sir was even more terrifying than usual.
Molu’an and the others: Madam, hurry and take Sir away! T^T
Calisto had originally wanted to accompany Jiang Xuning, but she said she wanted to give him a surprise and refused to let him come over.
Ever since they had gotten together, he had been glued to his Baby every moment of every day. This was the first time they had been apart for such a long time.
Calisto realized that he had become addicted to Jiang Xuning. If he could not hold her, if that sweet, refreshing fragrance of hers was not beside him, he became irritable.
“That piece of land belonging to Kolb…”
“Ding-dong.”
Calisto’s phone rang on the desk, and his subordinate, quick to read the situation, immediately stopped his report.
Calisto swiftly picked up the phone. Sure enough, it was a message from Jiang Xuning, telling him that she had finished and asking him to return to take a look.
Calisto revealed the first faint smile he had shown since coming to the study that evening. “That’s enough for today.”
With that, he strode out.
Molu’an patted Phil on the shoulder. “You’re pretty lucky, kid.”
The matter concerning Kolb had been handled reasonably well, but it was not the most perfect method in Sir’s eyes. If Madam’s message had not arrived just now, Phil would definitely have been scolded.
Phil: “Thank Madam, thank Madam! T^T”
When Calisto opened the bedroom door, the completely renewed decorations made him pause for a moment.
The curtains had been replaced with cream-white ones. A light-blue vase had been added to the table beside them, holding the daisies that had just been cut from the garden. The cold-white bedside lamp had been replaced with a warm yellow one, and even the bedsheets had been changed.
Everywhere radiated warmth and comfort. What made Xie Chi happiest of all was that her belongings had been added to the bathroom and the wardrobe. Jiang Xuning’s presence was everywhere in the room, and Xie Chi felt as if he were about to go mad.
“How is it? Do you li—”
Before Jiang Xuning could finish speaking, he pulled her into his arms.
“I love it. I love it terribly.”
He loved it so much that he wanted to do something intense to his Baby.
Jiang Xuning lifted her chin slightly, proudly and adorably like a little cat. Her eyes seemed to say: See? I knew I wouldn’t disappoint.
The adorable Calisto wanted to knead her into his very bones and blood.
“All right, you look around first. I’m going to take a shower.”
After Jiang Xuning entered the bathroom, Calisto walked over to the wardrobe.
Several of Jiang Xuning’s dresses had been added to the section that should have held his suits. Her unique, sweet fragrance still lingered in the fabric.
He buried his face in the hem of one of the dresses, and his breathing grew rapid. A nearly greedy smile churned in his eyes.
This was his territory, but now it had been thoroughly stained with her scent.
He closed his eyes. Jiang Xuning’s fragrance lingered around the tip of his nose, and the corners of his lips curved into an obsessive arc.
This was not merely the scent of home. It was proof that she belonged here. That realization made him so happy he nearly went mad.
Baby…
Baby, I love Baby’s scent so much…
At night, the two of them leaned against the bed. Jiang Xuning nestled in Calisto’s arms while watching a drama. He had no interest in such boring things; he gently twirled Jiang Xuning’s long hair, sniffing here and there.
His other hand beneath the covers was not idle either. He pinched the soft flesh of her stomach, then slowly moved upward.
Baby was watching so intently. She probably wouldn’t notice, right…?
The noble Mr. Calisto secretly glanced sideways, observing the state of the little Jiaojiao in his arms, even slowing his breathing.
“If you keep moving and touching me like that, you’re sleeping on the sofa tonight.”
Jiang Xuning maintained her posture as she watched the drama without moving, but the words she spoke made the man dare not be reckless.
