Suisui glided over on the office chair and bumped her with her arm. “You’re killing people and still carrying a grudge.”
Lin Qingqian blinked. “Speak human language.”
“You showed off your love on your Moments last night. Xiao Bai must have been sad all night.” Suisui sighed and shook her head. “Aren’t you too cruel to want him to welcome you with a smile so early in the morning?” Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her and kicked her chair. “Go back to work.” She couldn’t be bothered to listen to her nonsense and walked towards her office.
Suisui’s chair slid away and hit the desk before stopping. Fortunately, she was smart and held onto the desk. Otherwise, she would have been covered in bumps.
She turned around and looked at Lin Qingqian’s back. She clicked her tongue. “Everyone says that women in love have zero intelligence. The ancients really didn’t lie to me.”
Lin Qingqian was busy with work all day. During this period, she had also communicated with Han Liubai. There was nothing unusual, and she did not stay for long.
It was not until she got off work in the afternoon that she turned off her computer and walked out of the office to see the man coming in.
He was not wearing a suit. His black shirt wrapped around his tall figure, and his pants were ironed straight without any creases. He slowly walked towards her.
Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes couldn’t help but reveal a smile. “Why are you here?”
“I’m coaxing you.” Jiang Yanshen stopped in front of her and said, “I’ll pick you up from work too.”
When Lin Qingqian heard the word “coax” now, she felt that it was not good. She felt that he was digging a hole again and was waiting for her to jump in.
Seeing her look as if she was facing a great enemy, Jiang Yanshen couldn’t help but smile. “What kind of expression is this?”
Lin Qingqian replied honestly, “An expression of fear of falling into a pit.”
There were ripples in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes. He took out a black velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and slowly squatted down.
Lin Qingqian’s breathing stagnated, and her gaze changed. It was only when she saw him take out a thin golden chain that she heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yanshen had super-strong observation skills, so how could he not notice her abnormality? He just pretended not to know.
His well-defined fingers untied the thin golden chain and buckled it around her right foot, just above her ankle.
The golden chain was very thin. If one did not pay attention, they would not notice it. It hung on her ankle, making her skin look as fair as snow.
Lin Qingqian moved her ankle, and the slender golden chain moved slightly, like a feather sweeping across her skin.
“Jiang Yanshen, tell me honestly, do you have any special fetishes?” Her bright eyes sized him up. “Otherwise, why do you always give me anklets?”
There were also bracelets, but there were more anklets. There were more than ten locked in the safes in the bedroom in the Jiang residence.
Jiang Yanshen stood up and stared at her with his black eyes. He replied without hiding anything, “My biggest hobby is to lock you at home.”
Lin Qingqian: ‘
The smile on her face froze.
Jiang Yanshen chuckled and reached out to pinch her nose. “I’m kidding. I gave you so many, but I’ve never seen you wear a single one before.”
Lin Qingqian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s troublesome to wear anklets. It hurts when I sleep.”
Jiang Yanshen looked down at the anklet on her foot. “This is pure gold. It’s soft and won’t hurt you.”
Lin Qingqian hugged his arm and chuckled. “Got it. I’ll keep this one on and not take it off.”
The smile in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes deepened. He lowered his head uncontrollably, wanting to kiss her.
Lin Qingqian watched as he lowered his head. Just as he was about to touch her, she suddenly heard the sound of the door and hurriedly dodged.
She turned around and saw Han Liubai walking out of the office.
“Designer Han, you haven’t left yet.” An awkward expression flashed across her plain face as she pretended to be calm.
Han Liubai’s expression was calm as he said in a gentle voice, “Yes, I’m going now.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “See you tomorrow then.”
Han Liubai nodded and swept his gaze across Jiang Yanshen. He did not stay any longer and left.
Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief. “That was close. It was almost awkward.” Jiang Yanshen looked down at her. ‘What’s so awkward about it?”
Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. “I’m a proper person and I’m thin-skinned.”
Jiang Yanshen: ‘
Was she mocking him for not being a proper person and being thick-skinned?
She did not return to the apartment at night. Instead, she went to the Jiang residence.
Old Madam Jiang’s body was almost fully recovered. The doctor approved her discharge, but she still had to recuperate well when she returned.
Jiang Yanshen did not want her to stay in Lan City and be harassed by Li Guilan and the others, so he arranged for her to return to Jiang City to recuperate and sent her over personally.
Tonight was the last night Old Madam Jiang stayed in Lan City. Jiang Yanshen specially came to bring Lin Qingqian back to eat with her.
Jiang Chongjing, Wu Suyun, Jiang Yunshen, and even Li Guilan were present.
During the dinner, the atmosphere was originally harmonious. From time to time, Old Madam Jiang would talk to Lin Qingqian, and Lin Qingqian would help her prepare the vegetables.
Halfway through, Li Guilan slammed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said with a straight face, “I’m full. I’ll go back to my room first.” With that, she flicked her sleeves and left.
The atmosphere immediately became strange and tense.
Old Madam Jiang said without changing her expression, “Eat, Qianqian. Eat more.”
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and obliged.
At night, Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian did not leave and stayed at the Jiang residence for the night.
When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, Jiang Yanshen had already taken a shower in the guest bathroom and was sitting on the sofa drying his hair with a towel.
Lin Qingqian walked over and took the towel very naturally. As she wiped his hair, she said, “Your mother is becoming more and more unrestrained now.”
In the past, she knew that they did not get along, but she did not show it. Now, she was too lazy to even pretend.
Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly, and his tone was cold. “Grandma didn’t give her a single cent. Of course she doesn’t even want to pretend anymore.”
After a pause, he said, “It’s also because Grandma is old. A few years ago, she would have been chased out if she did this.”
Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and sighed softly. “No matter how much she resents, it’s been so many years. Even if it’s not for anything else, she should let go for herself.”
Jiang Yanshen turned his head and glanced at her. “Let go?”
Lin Qingqian blinked. “What did I say wrong?”
Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and let her sit beside him. He asked gently,
“Why do you think she hasn’t left the Jiang family all these years?”
Lin Qingqian: “She can’t bear to part with the Jiang Family’s wealth and status?”
“That’s only one aspect,” Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice. “Although Li Dashun has become rich, he’s far inferior in comparison to our Jiang Family. Moreover, do you think a person like Li Dashun will be willing to marry a widow of the Jiang Family?”
If he married her, he would be criticized in Lan City for the rest of his life.
Lin Qingqian pondered and said, “You mean… Li Dashun doesn’t want to marry her at all.”
“Li Dashun has three or four mistresses outside now. Two of them are pregnant.” Jiang Yanshen’s eyes were sharp when he mentioned the filth of other men. “Li Guilan as a person is far less important to him than her title as Madam Jiang. ”
“Doesn’t your mother know?”
“So what if she knows?” Jiang Yanshen’s warm palm landed on her head. “At her age, she can’t give birth to children for Li Dashun. Other than using her identity as Madam Jiang to keep Li Dashun by her side, she has no other way.”
Lin Qingqian’s fair face was indescribable. “I’ve seen your father’s photo. He’s much more handsome than that Li Dashun. His temper shouldn’t be bad either.
Is your mother’s eyes covered in feces?”
People like Li Dashun could be thrown into the trash can at any moment, and they were the kind that could not be recycled.
Jiang Yanshen’s eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, “Perhaps she’s unwilling. Back then, she could have married Li Dashun, but she was forced to marry my father.”
Lin Qingqian nodded and thought for a moment before saying, “Perhaps it’s as Suisui said. An adulterous man is like a coin that fell into a latrine pit. It’s a waste if you don’t pick it up, but it’s disgusting if you do.”
Jiang Yanshen frowned at this analogy. “Can you use another analogy?”
“Although they didn’t cheat, it’s about the same.” Lin Qingqian couldn’t think of any other words.
Jiang Yanshen: ‘
That didn’t seem to be the point.
Jiang Yanshen reached out and carried her to the dark black bed.
Lin Qingqian was shocked and wrapped her slender hands around his neck. “What are you doing?”
“Sleeping.”
Jiang Yanshen gently put her down and leaned down.
“What happened to sleeping?”
Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her. “When I say sleep, it’s a verb.”
Lin Qingqian turned her head uncooperatively. “Stop fooling around. I still have to send Grandma off tomorrow.”
“I’m the one sending her.” Jiang Yanshen straightened her head and lowered his head to kiss her.
Lin Qingqian half-reluctantly said, “I didn’t bring that thing…”
Jiang Yanshen kissed the tip of her nose. “I did…’
“A full box of six.”
After being tossed around by Jiang Yanshen for too long last night, Lin Qingqian almost overslept the next day.
Fortunately, he did not leave anything on her neck that embarrassed her. Instead, the few things in the trash can made her blush when she woke up in the morning.
After breakfast, the servant placed the things the old lady wanted to bring into the trunk.
Before Lin Qingqian came over yesterday, she had also bought some tonics for the elderly on the way and asked Madam Liu to bring them along.
Old Madam Jiang held her hand reluctantly. “It’s good that you’re considerate. Why waste this money?”
Lin Qingqian held her hand and chuckled. “Grandma, I know how to earn money now. Don’t worry.”
Old Madam Jiang nodded in relief. “Grandma knows that you’re capable, but you have to take care of your body and rest well. Come and see Grandma when you’re free.”
Lin Qingqian nodded. “Alright, I’ll definitely go and see Grandma.”
Old Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Yanshen and let Madam Liu help her into the car first before letting the others go back.
Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun brought Jiang Yunshen into the house. As for Li Guilan, she had completely fallen out with the old lady and did not come out at all.
Jiang Yanshen turned to look at Lin Qingqian. “It might take me three days to return from Jiang City. If there’s anything, look for Lu Yuan and the others.”
Lin Qingqian nodded, almost forgetting to tell him.
“By the way, I’m going overseas in three days.”
Jiang Yanshen frowned coldly. He had never heard her mention it before.
“The round trip will only take about three to four days. At most, five days.” Lin Qingqian saw that his expression was not right and hurriedly added.
This way, they would not be able to see each other for more than a week.
Jiang Yanshen’s face gradually darkened.
Lin Qingqian reached out and pinched his arm, coaxing him nicely, “The job was decided last month, and I’ll be back soon.”
Jiang Yanshen knew that she valued her work more than anything else now. Even if he did say anything, she wouldn’t listen.
His long arm reached out to her face and pinched it. “You’re not allowed to bring anyone with the surname Han..”
