âI donât know,â Jiang Yanshen replied. Meeting her disbelieving gaze, his thin lips curled up. âIâve been taking care of Granny in the hospital for the past two days and my body is covered in the smell of disinfectant. This morning, I used a small bottle you made in the past and placed it in the office.â
Lin Qingqian remembered that in the past, she would always buy him gifts, bottles, skincare, and perfume.
She naturally could not remember the name of the perfume from a few years ago, but it didnât smell outdated.
Seeing her sniffing like a puppy, a smile appeared in the corners of Jiang
Yanshenâs eyes. âSince you like it so much, Iâll use it in the future.â
Lin Qingqian nodded. âAlright.â
After returning to the apartment and changing her shoes, Lin Qingqian walked in and tied her hair up with a headband.
âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â
Jiang Yanshen looked at her. âThereâs no need to trouble yourself. Get Lu Yuan to buy something and send it over.â
âItâs rare for me to get off work early. Iâll make dinner myself!â Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. âIâll make some minced meat noodles and a dish of cucumbers with vinegar.â
Seeing that she was interested, Jiang Yanshen did not stop her. âAlright.â
He also liked to eat the food she made. hilt he was afraid that it would be very tiring for her to cook after coming home from work.
Lin Qingqian went to her room to change into a set of home clothes. Then, she walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. As she started to boil water, she began to prepare the seasonings.
Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and sat on the sofa. He turned on his computer to check his emails.
The sky outside the window darkened bit by bit. The street lights outside came on and Jiang Yanshen turned on the lights. There was already a fragrance coming from the kitchen.
He quietly walked to the kitchen door and leaned against the wall to look at her thin figure. Her back was slender and fair, and her straight and tender legs were exposed under her long T-shirt. It made his mouth go dry just looking at this sight.
White smoke came out of the kitchen, and the stir-fried spices floated out. Reflected in his black eyes, they were filled with the smell of human life.
Sensing that he was at the door, Lin Qingqian turned around and smiled. âItâs almost done. Go wash your hands.â
Jiang Yanshen did not wash his hands. Instead, he pulled open the kitchen door and walked in. While Lin Qingqian was caught off guard, he pinched her cheek and lowered his head to kiss her.
Lin Qingqian was stunned. She waved the spatula in her hand. âItâs⦠itâs burntâ¦â
Jiang Yanshen let go of her and saw from the corner of his eye that the smoke coming out of the pot was black.
Lin Qingqian hurriedly turned off the fire and glared at him. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Jiang Yanshen laughed even after being scolded. He leaned gently against the washstand behind him, his black eyes smiling. âQianqianâ¦â
âYes?â she replied as she stir-fried the spices.
âQianqianâ¦â He called her again.
âWhat?â âQianqianâ¦â
âJiang Yanshenâ¦â
Before she could get angry, Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and enjoyed her lips again.
âI want to see you angry at me.â He swallowed his words and smiled faintly.
âNothing. I just want to call your name.â
Lin Qingqian looked up and met his warm eyes. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and glared at him. âWash your hands and
eat. â
Jiang Yanshen nodded and walked towards the washroom. When he passed by the living room, his cell phone suddenly rangâ¦
He picked up the call first, and the smile on his lips suddenly sank.
After ending the call, Lin Qingqian happened to come out. Seeing that his expression was not right, she asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
âIâm sorry, I canât have dinner with you anymore.â Jiang Yanshen looked apologetic as he walked up to her, holding his cell phone tightly. âLi Guilan went to the hospital to look for Granny.â
When Lin Qingqian heard this, she knew that it must be something bad. Li Guilan was not so kind as to visit Grandma.
âThen hurry up and take a look.â
Jiang Yanshen nodded. When he saw the noodles she brought out, he felt a little regretful.
âIâll save the noodles for you. Go and see Grandma quickly.â Lin Qingqian caught the pity in his eyes and said softly.
Jiang Yanshen shook his head. âNo need. Donât wait for me at night. Rest early.â He hugged her with his long arms, turned around, picked up his suit, and left.
Lin Qingqianâs mood was like a roller coaster. One moment, she was depressed, and the next moment, she was happy. Then, she became depressed again
because of Jiang Yanshenâs sudden departure.
She did not have the chance to tell him about Xiao Bai. When she thought of the troublesome matters of the Jiang Family, she couldnât be happy no matter what and did not have much of an appetite. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She left half of the noodles for Jiang Yanshen and gave the rest to Brother Chen, who was guarding the door. Brother Chen felt flattered.
He held the bowl with a wooden face and stiffened his limbs, not knowing how to react.
Lin Qingqianâs expression was indifferent. âJust leave the bowl at the door after eating. Iâm going to rest.â
Brother Chen nodded mechanically.
Lin Qingqian returned to her room to take a shower and sat on the bed reading a magazine to wait for Jiang Yanshen. When he did not return at 11:30 p.m., she fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day, when she woke up and saw the news on the Internet, she found out that many people had seen Li Guilan causing a scene in the hospital last night.
The public relations department of the Tianyue Group tried their best to suppress it, but the news online was like a wildfire that couldnât be completely wiped out. It was very difficult to completely clean it up.
Lin Qingqian was worried about Grandmaâs health and called Jiang Yanshen.
The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up. Jiang Yanshenâs hoarse voice came from the phone. âQianqianâ¦â
âIs Grandma alright?â Hearing his voice, she felt more at ease.
Jiang Yanshen: âSheâs fine. Donât worry.â
Lin Qingqian asked again, âWhat about you?â
Jiang Yanshen was silent. His breathing entered her ears through the electric waves, tightening her soft heart.
âDo you want Shen Zhiwei to go to you?â she asked worriedly.
She vaguely felt that the Jiang Family could easily touch his emotions and make him lose control.
âItâs not suitable for her to come over now.â Jiang Yanshenâs voice was slightly hoarse. âIâll find time to go over later.â
Lin Qingqian quickly thought of Jiang Chongjing. If they found out about Jiang Yanshenâs illness, they would inevitably make a big fuss.
âWhy donât you let Shen Zhiwei come to my place? They know our relationship anyway.â
If he used her as a cover, it wouldnât arouse suspicion. Jiang Yanshen was silent for a long time before saying, âAlright.â
Lin Qingqian asked Shen Zhiwei to come over at night.
In order to make it easier for them, she specially went online to buy a recliner that was delivered that day and laid out a beige blanket.
Before Shen Zhiwei came, she lit incense that soothed oneâs mood and prepared a pot of lemon water.
Shen Zhiwei knocked on the door on time. Lin Qingqian opened the door for her. âThereâs no need to change your shoes. Come in.â
âThank you.â Shen Zhiwei walked in with her bag.
âJiang Yanshen isnât here yet. Sit down for a while.â Lin Qingqian poured tea for her.
Shen Zhiwei sat down in the living room with a professional smile on her lips. âThank you, Miss Lin. Thereâs no need to be so polite.â
Lin Qingqian handed the cup to her. âSorry to trouble you, Doctor Shen.â
Shen Zhiwei took the glass of water and took a sip without saying anything.
After sitting for a moment, Jiang Yanshen came over. He first hugged Lin Qingqian before looking at Shen Zhiwei.
Lin Qingqian let them go to their room while she carried her computer and sat on the carpet in the living room to work.
From time to time, she would look at the room, but to avoid affecting them, she basically didnât dare to make a sound. After all, her house didnât have any soundproofing.
An hour later, the door opened gently.
Lin Qingqian stood up and turned her head to see Shen Zhiwei coming out. She gently closed the bedroom door.
âHow is he?â Lin Qingqian asked.
âHeâs asleep. He should remain asleep for three to four hours,â Shen Zhiwei replied in a low voice.
âThree to four hours?â Lin Qingqian frowned.
âHe has a sleep disorder to begin with. His condition did improve previously, but it seems to have worsened recently,â Shen Zhiwei replied.
âThen his illnessâ¦â Lin Qingqian wanted to say something but hesitated, her bright eyes filled with worry.
Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath. âIâve already tried my best. The rest will depend on him and you, Miss Lin.â
âMe?â Lin Qingqianâs eyes were filled with confusion.
âDirector Jiang has stabilized a lot recently. I think Miss Lin must have contributed a lot to this.â Shen Zhiweiâs calm voice sounded faintly. She had no intention of teasing her. âYour care and companionship has a certain soothing effect on Director Jiang.â
Lin Qingqian blinked. Was that so?
Shen Zhiwei thought of something and said, âBy the way, donât panic when Director Jiang wakes up later. Just wait for him to fall asleep again.â
Lin Qingqian was stunned. âYou meanâ¦â
âThat personality still exists in the end. Itâs not a good thing to suppress it for too long,â Shen Zhiwei said tactfully.
Lin Qingqian:
After Shen Zhiwei left, Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before gently pushing open the bedroom door.
The room was filled with a faint smell of sandalwood. The light from the floor lamp barely illuminated the room.
Jiang Yanshen lay on the recliner with his eyes closed, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, as if there was an unsolvable knot in his heart.
Lin Qingqian walked over and touched his cold hand. She turned around and picked up the thin blanket on the bed to gently cover him.
Perhaps sensing the warmth, Jiang Yanshen moved and instinctively wrapped the thin blanket around him, but he did not wake up.
Lin Qingqian didnât go out. Instead, she sat on the floor and looked up at his deep facial features with an indescribable heartache.
What exactly had he experienced to force him to this state!
As for Li Guilan and Jiang Chongjing, what are they going to do to him!
Her slender fingers landed between his eyebrows and gently massaged them, as if she wanted to smoothen his frown.
In the past, she did not understand that the line between his eyebrows represented his deep sadness. Now that it moved, he seemed even sadder.
Because she couldnât help him.
If only she could be stronger.
As Lin Qingqian thought about it, she lay beside the recliner and fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, she suddenly woke up. She sat up straight and met a pair of black and pure eyes.
Lin Qingqianâs breathing stopped. Before she could react, she heard a childish
âBig Sister, Iâm hungry.â
Lin Qingqian: â
âX-Xiao Jiu is hungry?â She was still not used to Jiang Yanshen suddenly transforming into Jiang Xiao Jiu.
Jiang Xiao Jiu nodded. âBig Sister, can you cook for me?â
Lin Qingqian nodded hesitantly. âWhat do you want to eat?â
Jiang Xiao Jiu blinked. âMinced meat noodles.â
Lin Qingqianâs breathing paused, and surprise flashed across her clear eyes.
Was it a coincidence?
Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Xiao Jiu widened her dark and innocent eyes and pouted. âBig Sister, I want to eat minced meat noodles. Is that okay?â
Lin Qingqian was caught off guard by his cute expression and her heart softened. She no longer hesitated.. âSure!â
