Lin Qingqian was stunned. “You brewed this wine?”

Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm. “I said I would make wine for you.”

Lin Qingqian felt a sweetness in her heart and felt the wine glass in her hand become warm. Knowing that he had brewed it himself, she couldn’t help but want to taste it carefully again.

When she raised her glass to drink, she glanced at Jiang Yanshen from the corner of her eye.

He said that he would make wine for her, but it turned out that he was not just saying it casually.

Jiang Yanshen also picked up his wine glass and raised his head to take a sip. He also looked at her warmly.

It was as if they were drinking cross-cupped wine.

Lin Qingqian accidentally finished the glass of wine. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her delicate features, and coupled with her flushed cheeks, she looked very cute.

Jiang Yanshen poured her another glass and asked in a low voice, “Have you thought of what to call it?”

Lin Qingqian held her cup and shook her head gently. “I can’t think of anything. ”

Jiang Yanshen gently swirled the wine glass and said in a low voice, “Qingqian.” “Huh?” Lin Qingqian blinked at him, not knowing why he suddenly called her.

Seeing her dazed and innocent appearance, Jiang Yanshen’s heart softened. He lowered his head and pecked her lips. “The name of the wine is Qingqian.”

Lin Qingqian’s face became even hotter. “Why are you using my name?”

“Because it’s specially brewed for you.” Jiang Yanshen’s warm palm caressed her face. “It’s specially for you alone to drink.”

This one and only wine in the world was like the one and only Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian was successfully pleased by his words. Her red face was filled with a smile as she pursed her lips and drank without saying a word.

There was a bottle of wine and two people. Jiang Yanshen’s alcohol tolerance was not good, so he drank very little. On the other hand, Lin Qingqian was like a thirsty kitten, drinking a glass every now and then.

In the end, she drank too much and leaned on his shoulder. Her voice subconsciously softened. “When did you learn to make wine?”

Jiang Yanshen reached out to help her sweep her scattered hair behind her ears and said in a low and hoarse voice, “After I came back from Yu Mountain.”

Lin Qingqian was very dizzy. After hearing his words, she raised her head and looked at him with misty eyes. “So early? Jiang Yanshen, why do I feel that…

you’d schemed this long ago?”

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curved into a smile as his fingers pinched her cheek gently. “Even if I had a scheme, the motive is you alone.”

Lin Qingqian blushed and smiled. She covered her red lips with both hands, and her eyes were sparkling.

“Don’t think I’ll forgive you just because you said that.”

Jiang Yanshen stared at the gentle light in her eyes. “Then what must I do to make you forgive me?”

“Uh…” Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and said firmly, “I want you to brew a different bottle of wine for me every year. It can’t be repeated.”

This way, he would have to brew wine for his entire life.

“Alright,” Jiang Yanshen agreed without thinking. “Little alcoholic, you like to

drink so much, huh?”

Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and nodded. “It’s good to drink. Drinking can make people happy…”

Before she could finish speaking, she slowly fell into Jiang Yanshen’s arms.

Jiang Yanshen caught her and looked down at her red face. He said meaningfully, “Yes, it’s quite good..

Lin Qingqian was drunk. Otherwise, she would definitely be able to tell that he had ill intentions.

“Qianqian, you’re drunk.” He lowered his head and spoke, his hot breath landing on her face.

Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and snorted softly without saying anything.

Jiang Yanshen’s fingers slid gently across her face. “Stay tonight, okay?” Lin Qingqian still didn’t speak.

“I’ll carry you to take a shower, okay?” His low and hoarse voice was filled with temptation.

Lin Qingqian’s head was very dizzy and she really wanted to sleep. When she heard the sound, she didn’t care what he said and just hummed casually.

A smile appeared in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek as a reward. “Good girl.”

His strong arms carried her up lightly and walked up to the second floor…

The next day, Lin Qingqi woke up with a heavy body and sore muscles. She sat up and rubbed her temples.

“You’re awake. Drink the hangover tea.”

Jiang Yanshen’s low voice sounded above her head. She looked up and saw that he was already dressed and holding a glass of something black.

Her memories from last night were recovering bit by bit, especially some of the memories from the latter half of the night. She simply wanted to find a hole to hide in.

She clutched the blanket tightly with both hands and buried her head in it, too ashamed to face anyone.

Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and sat down by the bed. He reached out to pull the covers, his voice filled with laughter. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Qingqian turned her head slightly and glanced at him. “Jiang Yanshen, you’re shameless. You tricked me again.”

Jiang Yanshen’s good-looking features were filled with smiles and he looked innocent. “You agreed to stay last night, so I didn’t send you back.”

Lin Qingqian was indignant. “If you didn’t deliberately try to get me drunk, why would I drink so much?”

“You wanted to drink the wine yourself.” Jiang Yanshen said the truth. He felt even more wronged on this point.

Lin Qingqian took a deep breath. “I don’t care. You’re the shameless one. You set a trap for me. You have ulterior motives.”

Were all women so unreasonable?

Jiang Yanshen looked at her for a few seconds before finally losing. “Alright, it’s my fault. I have ulterior motives. Drink the hangover tea first.”

He picked up the cup and handed it to her.

His apology was sincere. If Lin Qingqian continued pestering him, she would look like an unreasonable pest. She picked up the teacup gloomily and drank the hangover tea.

Jiang Yanshen leaned over and kissed her cheek. “Be good and wash up quickly. Breakfast is your favorite crab roe bun.”

Lin Qingqian nodded and waited for him to leave with the cup before getting up to wash up.

When she went downstairs, she was wearing a navy blue dress with a belt that accentuated her slender waist. Her exposed ankles were wearing the anklet he had given her, which stuck to her fair skin.

Jiang Yanshen pulled out the chair beside him for her. When she sat down, he placed the milk in front of her. “Have breakfast.”

Lin Qingqian turned her head and looked at him. She picked up the milk and took a sip. In a casual tone, she said, “I saw that Jiang Chongjing owes a large sum of money.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded. “He won’t be able to pay this debt.”

“Then will he be angry with you?” Lin Qingqian felt especially uncomfortable when she thought of Jiang Chongjing’s eyes.

It was a pair of eyes that made one’s heart turn cold.

“I’ll bring bodyguards with me when I go in and out. Don’t worry.” Jiang Yanshen was not worried about himself. He was worried about Lin Qingqian.

“You be careful too.”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “Then… what about Jiang Yunshen?”

With Jiang Chongjing and Jiang Yanshen fighting like this, the most uncomfortable person was probably Jiang Yunshen, who was sandwiched in the middle.

“He’s grown up and can distinguish between right and wrong,” Jiang Yanshen replied. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to speak, he interrupted her. “Eat the eggs. ”

Lin Qingqian felt that he didn’t want her to ask about Jiang Yunshen, so she didn’t ask further.

After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen sent her to work.

While the weather was good on their side, Li Guilan’s side was covered in dark clouds and was in a storm.

Jiang Chongjing owed a large sum of money. If he did not repay it, he would be imprisoned. Thus, he instigated Li Guilan to borrow money from Li Dashun.

Li Dashun was no fool; he knew that this money was meant for Jiang Chongjing. He tried every excuse, claiming that he needed the money for his daughter and that the company’s investment funds were currently stuck.

Li Guilan was also very angry. She quarreled with Li Dashun and left.

After Jiang Chongjing found out, he didn’t have the time to be angry with them. He was focused on getting money, and in the end, his thoughts landed on Jiang Yunshen again.

Knowing that Jiang Yunshen usually liked to fool around with his friends, he bribed one of them and drugged Jiang Yunshen’s wine before helping him into the room that he had prepared in advance.

Jiang Chongjing took out the agreement he had prepared in advance and asked him to sign it.

Jiang Yunshen was in a daze. Something was stuffed into his hand, and they seemed to want him to sign it.

He tried his best to open his eyes wide to see the words clearly, but he only vaguely saw the word “agreement”. As if something had been touched, he suddenly pushed Jiang Chongjing away.

“I’m not signing it… I’m not signing it…” He got up and staggered out.

Jiang Chongjing hurriedly went forward and grabbed his collar, pulling him back and pressing him onto the sofa. “Bastard, you have to sign today!!”

When Jiang Yunshen heard Jiang Chongjing’s voice, he subconsciously knew what had happened, but because of the effects of the medicine, his entire body was limp and he could not exert any strength.

“You… You actually drugged me…” Jiang Yunshen used his remaining strength to resist him. “You’re not worthy of being my father!”

Seeing that he was still resisting, Jiang Chongjing’s anger burned. He pulled out his belt and whipped it at him. As he whipped, he scolded, “You bastard, how did I give birth to a bastard like you!! If you don’t sign, are you going to watch me die?”

The belt fell on Jiang Yunshen’s body again and again, leaving red and swollen wounds. He wanted to dodge, but his head was too dizzy and his body was weak. Before he could stand up, he slid to the ground.

He whipped Jiang Yunshen until his skin was torn and his flesh was bloody, as if he wanted to vent all his anger on Jiang Yunshen.

In the end, even the belt was broken. He hadn’t finished venting his anger, so he switched to kicking.

Jiang Yunshen was on the verge of death from the beating. There wasn’t an inch of skin intact on him, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

When Wu Suyun entered and saw this scene, her heart was torn apart. She rushed over without hesitation and pushed Jiang Chongjing away.

She said bitterly, “How can you hit Yunshen like this? He’s your biological son.”

Jiang Chongjing’s eyes were already red from the beating and he didn’t care about his family at all. “Get lost… It’s all your fault for giving birth to such a piece of trash.”

He pushed Wu Suyun away and grabbed Jiang Yunshen’s hair. “Sign it for me.” The sharp pain in his scalp made Jiang Yunshen’s dizzy consciousness suddenly clear up. He gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words. “…I won’t

sign.. ‘

Jiang Chongjing raised his hand and slapped him. “If you don’t sign it, I’ll beat you to death.”

“Even if you beat me to death… I won’t sign it.” Jiang Yunshen used the last of his strength to squeeze out a sentence.

Jiang Chongjing kicked him. “Then I’ll beat you to death and pretend that I never gave birth to a piece of trash like you.”

“Stop hitting… Stop hitting…” Wu Suyun wanted to stop him, but she was too weak and was pushed away by Jiang Chongjing every time.

Seeing that Jiang Yunshen was about to be beaten to death, Wu Suyun’s heart burnt with anxiety.. Tears streamed down her face when she suddenly saw a cold glint in the corner of her eye…
