Chapter 293
She Is From The Countryside
293 a gift for the other party
Jiang che opened the apartment door and walked in. He saw Shi Yan busy in the kitchen.
the apartment had hired an auntie to cook regularly, so the kitchen was often used. however, this was the first time shi yan had cooked here.
It was also Jiang Cheâs first time seeing Shi Yan Cook.
he was stunned for a moment when he saw her busy figure in the kitchen.
It was already dark outside, and the curtains were open. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows that were not covered by the curtains, they could see the brightly lit streets outside.
It was very lively.
but it was very quiet in the house, with only the sound of cooking in the kitchen.
Perhaps it was because the noise in the kitchen was too loud, the busy figure in the kitchen did not notice the person who had entered. Her back was facing him.
Jiang che stared at her for a long time, his eyes growing gentler.
After changing her shoes, she took off her suit jacket and hung it on the rack at the entrance. She rolled up the sleeves of her white shirt and walked towards the kitchen.
he hugged her from behind.
Only then did Shi Yan notice him. She turned around with a smile.âYouâre back?â
âYes.â he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. he rested his chin on her shoulder and looked at the vegetables in the pot.âWhy do you suddenly want to cook?â
jiang che had told shi yan in advance that he would come later and that she did not need to wait for him for dinner. he knew that shi yan would have dinner with her friends in the canteen.
it was also her first time cooking since they got together.
âTo celebrate the end of my exam,â Shi Yan said with a smile.
âMiss Shi, youâve worked hard during this period of time. We should celebrate.â they didnât ask shi yan how she did, as they didnât talk about this.
âis there anything i can do to help?â She was asking about her cooking.
â no, itâs fine. iâll just make two side dishes. itâll be done soon. go sit in the living room and wait for a while. itâs oily and greasy here. â
However, the person behind her did not have any intention of letting her go. âmiss shi, youâre a girl and youâre not even afraid of the heavy oil and smoke. why should i be afraid?â
âiâll be here with you.â
He said he was going to accompany her, but in reality, he was just hugging her and not letting go.
shi yanâs hair was loosely tied up with a hairband. occasionally, a few strands of hair would fall to the side of her face. jiang che would raise his hand to help her tuck her hair behind her ears, his eyes and actions gentle.
even if the two of them didnât speak, it was still warm.
the dishes were prepared very quickly.
Jiang che was about to help bring the dishes to the dining room when Shi Yan said, â âIâm not going to the restaurant.â
following her line of sight, jiang che finally saw the decorations in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
There was a blanket laid out, and on a short square table, there were candles, roses, and wine glasses.
one bottle of red wine was unopened, while the other bottle had already been opened and poured into the decanter to sober up.
after jiang che entered the room, he only had eyes for shi yan and did not notice any of this.
As she looked at him, she smiled at her. âmiss shi, is this a candlelight dinner?â
âyou can say that.â shi yan replied with a smile.
â bring the dishes over first. iâm going to change my clothes. iâm covered in oil and smoke. â
Although she said that she was going to change her clothes, she did not just change her clothes. She also simply washed her face and put on light makeup.
she was wearing a light purple dress and had long black hair that fell to her waist. she was elegant and wise.
Jiang che had already cleaned up the kitchen while she was changing and was wiping his hands with a tissue.
when he saw her coming out of the room, he stopped wiping his hands, threw the tissue into the trash can, and walked towards her. He didnât do much, just holding her hand and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window that had been set up.
The two of them sat opposite each other. Jiang che poured a glass of red wine for Shi Yan and poured himself a glass.
the man sitting on the ground was elegant and raised his glass to her. â â miss shi, congratulations on ending your exam. â
They clinked their glasses.
âThank you,â he said.
after taking a light sip, shi yan pushed the gift box that she had hidden at the side.
âWhat is this?â
âa gift for teacher jiang.â
jiang che looked at the gift box, then at her. in the end, he couldnât help but smile and open the gift box.
A pair of couple watches.
A limited edition model from a certain brand had just been released, and it was worth tens of millions.
âwhy did you think of giving me a watch?â
shi yanâs eyes fell on his slender and good-looking hand that was holding the gift box. â i havenât seen mr. jiang wearing a watch for a long time. i thought it would be a waste for such a beautiful hand like yours to not deserve a watch, so i bought it when i saw it. â
âMr. Jiang, do you like this gift?â she asked with a smile.
âI like it very much.â even if it was a piece of scrap metal, he would still like it, let alone a gift that she gave him with such care.
âMiss Shi, can you help me put it on?â
shi yan put down her wine glass, took out the menâs watch from the gift box with a smile, and slowly put it on his left hand.
His gaze was fixed on her face the entire time.
His eyes were straight and gentle, and his beautiful peach-shaped eyes were filled with deep affection.
After putting it on, Shi Yan held his well-defined hand and smiled.âitâs nice.â
âmiss shi, you have good taste.â She didnât know if she had good taste in choosing gifts or choosing people.
âmiss shi, do you want to wear it?â
âof course,â
âMr. Jiang, I bought a couple style on purpose,â she said with a smile.
meeting her calm and straightforward gaze, jiang che could clearly see the deep affection in her eyes that she did not hide at all. he held her hand in his and rubbed the back of it.
There was an inexplicable lingering feeling.
âiâll put it on for miss shi, then.â
He took off the White jade bangle on her left hand and put it on her right hand, then put the watch on her left hand.
after he put it on, he held her left hand and gently kissed the back of her hand, as if he was a little pious. â âvery suitable.â
âThank you for your gift, miss Shi.â
âi also have a gift for miss shi.â
shi yan retracted her hand that he had just released. she felt that the back of her hand that he had just kissed was a little hot, and she looked at him in confusion.
âMiss Shi, please wait a moment.â
he got up and left. he went to the pocket of his suit jacket hanging on the frame of the entrance and took out a box.
he handed it to shi yan.
He didnât sit down, but stood beside Shi Yan.âopen it and take a look.â
He was much taller than her, and at this time, he was still standing while she was sitting, so Shi Yan could only try to look up to see him.
she looked up at him for a moment before she took the box and opened it.
It was an exquisite and Grand necklace.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang che had prepared a lot of jewelry for her, and they were all placed on the dressing table. However, he probably knew that she didnât like to wear these things, so he had prepared most of the jewelry, including hair accessories, bracelets, and bracelets. Naturally, he also had necklaces and earrings, but they were all in more luxurious styles. They were more suitable for attending banquets and cocktail parties to go with dresses. They were not like the low-end ones that were suitable for daily wear.
shi yan took the necklace in her hand and said sincerely,âitâs very beautiful.â
âiâll help miss shi put it on.â
âAlright,â Shi Yan smiled at him.
Jiang che took the necklace from her hand, walked behind her, and leaned over slightly to brush her long hair to the side, helping her put on the necklace.
Her movements were neither fast nor slow, and extremely gentle.
His eyelids drooped slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the emotions in his eyes.
However, his face was still warm.
he couldnât see anything wrong with it.
He put on the necklace and tidied her long hair with his hands, but he did not leave.
He was still standing behind her, and he did not withdraw his hand that was helping her tidy her long hair. His soft long hair fell on her neck.
Her fingertips slid from her neck to her ear.
Even if she didnât look up at him, Shi Yan could feel that his eyes must be very aggressive.
his fingertips brushed past her little by little, and she actually tensed up unconsciously.
His heart was beating irregularly.
His fingertips stopped beside her ear for a moment, then fell on her earlobe, and slowly moved from her jaw to her chin. He pinched her chin with a moderate amount of force.
in this position, he lifted her chin and leaned over to kiss her from behind.
