When Jiang Yanshen walked out of the bathroom, there was only one floor lamp lit in the room. The dim light barely illuminated her small face, as if it was covered in a layer of dust.

He walked to the sofa and sat down. He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against her cheek. “What’s wrong?

Ever since she came back, she seemed to be in low spirits, as if she was thinking about something.

Lin Qingqian raised her head and glanced at him. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his exquisite facial features, she blinked. “You really don’t remember?”

Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. “Remember what?”

“Ming Xiao.” When Lin Qingqian said these two words, her eyes clearly darkened.

“Why should I remember her?” Jiang Yanshen found it strange, but he really didn’t remember this woman.

Lin Qingqian blinked, her thick eyelashes casting a green shadow. Her voice was as soft as willow catkins. “She’s Ming Yuan’s daughter.”

Jiang Yanshen was very familiar with the name Ming Yuan. Speaking of which, the Ming family was also quite famous in Lan City.

“So?” He didn’t understand what this had to do with him.

Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment. Her bright eyes stared at his good-looking facial features, and her voice sounded faintly. “Ming Xiao pursued you in the past.”

Jiang Yanshen finally understood why she was behaving so strangely, but he felt that something was even more wrong.

“She shouldn’t be the only one chasing me.” Why was she so sensitive about Ming Xiao?

Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and suppressed those complicated thoughts before saying, “You accepted her gift before.”

Jiang Yanshen basically didn’t have anyone of the opposite sex by his side other than Song Qin and her. The fact that he could accept a girl’s gift meant that the girl was more or less different in his heart.

This difference was enough to destroy the defense in Lin Qingqian’s heart.

Jiang Yanshen slowly frowned and carefully recalled the details of receiving gifts. Then, he belatedly said, “That seems to be the case.”

Lin Qingqian bit her lip and didn’t say anything. Her slender legs arched up, and her entire body appeared to be curled up. She rested her chin on her knees and said in a lukewarm tone, “Now that she’s back, do you have any thoughts?”

Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. “What does her return have to do with me?

Why should I have any thoughts?”

The straight man didn’t understand what she was thinking.

“The Ming Family and the Jiang Family can be considered to be of equal social status. Back then, you should have had a good impression of Ming Xiao.” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. “If not for Grandma pretending to be sick to force you to marry me the moment you graduated, perhaps now, the two of you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen’s gaze turned cold. “Lin Qingqian, shut up.”

Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. She turned her head and looked at him in confusion. Why did he suddenly become so fierce?

Jiang Yanshen looked at her delicate face with his black eyes. His throat moved, and after a moment of silence, he said, “You really don’t remember?” “Remember what?” Lin Qingqian asked in return, looking at him with clear eyes.

“Didn’t I give you the cake she gave me back then?” Jiang Yanshen’s deep voice

slowly sounded.

“Ah?” Lin Qingqian was completely dumbfounded.

Jiang Yanshen’s well-defined fingers bent slightly and flicked her forehead.

“Back then, you lost the competition and got into the car crying. I saw that the cake in her hand was your favorite, so I accepted it and brought it back for you to eat.”

Lin Qingqian blinked innocently. “Is that so? She gave you a cake?”

Moreover, it was brought back for her to eat.

“Otherwise, why would I want cake?” Jiang Yanshen asked. He didn’t like cake.

Lin Qingqian: “So your feelings for Ming Xiao…’

She wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Yanshen knocked her forehead again. “Why are you letting your imagination run wild every day?”

“It hurts!” Lin Qingqian touched the place where he knocked, her eyes innocent. “How would I know that she gave you a cake? I thought.. ‘

‘Why?” Jiang Yanshen looked at her disdainfully, his handsome features deliberately stiff. “Do you think I like someone else?”

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Lin Qingqian’s gaze turned guilty. She bit her lip. “Who asked you to ignore me for three years after we got married? I thought you were angry that I broke you and Ming Xiao up.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen’s handsome face suddenly enlarged in front of her. Then, she felt pain on her lips.

“If you continue to spout nonsense, I think you don’t need that mouth of yours.” The cold voice was mixed with a warning. It was obvious that he was very unhappy with her messy guesses and thoughts.

Lin Qingqian was in so much pain that she raised her hand to touch her bitten lips. She wrapped her small hand around his firm arm and said softly with a hint of coaxing, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you and let my imagination run wild. Don’t be angry, alright?”

Jiang Yanshen sighed helplessly. He wrapped his long arms around her shoulders and hugged her. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “Qianqian, I wasn’t angry when I married you. During that period of time, Tianyue Group was expanding the overseas market. My illness had also acted up and so I couldn’t stay in Lan City.”

Of course, these could not be used as an excuse to ignore her. At that time, he thought that giving her the title of Madam Jiang and giving her superior living conditions was enough.

And in their marriage, he did not consider Lin Qingqian’s feelings, so their marriage only lasted for a short three years before ending in that way.

At first, he really did not understand what she wanted, but now… he already understood.

Lin Qingqian obediently leaned in his arms, her slender hands wrapped around his waist, her voice gentle. “You must have been very lonely at that time, and it must have been very hard on you.”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t reply. He lowered his head and looked at her with burning eyes. “You’re not angry anymore?

Lin Qingqian nodded without hesitation. “I’m not angry anymore.”

The misunderstanding was resolved.

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head even more, the tip of his nose touching hers. Their eyes met. “So we can sleep now.”

Lin Qingqian was stunned. Before she could react, Jiang Yanshen had already picked her up horizontally.

Jiang Yanshen carried her to the bed.

Realizing what was about to happen, Lin Qingqian struggled and said, “You said you wanted to bring me a gift.”

Jiang Yanshen’s answer was a lingering kiss.

Jiang Yunshen parked the car outside the villa. He got out ot the car and opened the door for her like a gentleman before handing her the car keys. “Do you need me to send you in?”

Luo Tianxue took the car keys. Under the moonlight, her pretty face seemed to glow even more charmingly. “There’s no need. How are you going back?”

“I’ll go out and get a car. You don’t have to worry.” Jiang Yunshen scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. When he smiled, he revealed his cute canine teeth.

“Oh.” Luo Tianxue nodded and waved her hand, “Good night then.” “Good night.” Seeing that she had already said so, Jiang Yunshen could not continue standing. He turned around and left.

After taking a few steps, he couldn’t help but look back.

Seeing that Luo Tianxue was still standing there looking at him, he stretched out his arm and waved, “You can go back.”

“Okay.” Luo Tianxue’s sweet voice answered, but she stood still.

Jiang Yunshen thought that she might be watching him. He wanted to walk slowly, but at the same time, he thought that her feet hurt. It would hurt if she kept standing, so it would be better for him to walk quickly.

Luo Tianxue stood under the moonlight with a smile on her face. She quietly watched the young man’s back disappear under the moonlight, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

“Jiang Yunshen sent you back?”

A sinister voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Luo Tianxue turned around and met the man’s displeased eyes before she replied in a light and pleasant voice, “Yes.”

Lu Dongcheng frowned and said decisively, “Not him. Tianyue Group is controlled by Jiang Yanshen. If you are with him, you will never be able to raise your head.”

Luo Tianxue burst out laughing. “What are you thinking? I’m just teasing that fool. How can I really like him?”

Lu Dongcheng’s brows relaxed slightly when he heard this. He said in a low voice, “Don’t go overboard. We can’t fall out with Jiang Yanshen yet.”

Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes at him and walked into the house normally. Her high heels kicked against the entrance and she walked barefoot on the carpet. She said casually, “I’m playing with my own things. Your business with Jiang

Yanshen has nothing to do with me.”

Lu Dongcheng followed behind her and bent down to put her high heels into the shoe cabinet.

“On the surface, Jiang Yanshen despises this younger brother, but in private, he cares about him. If you anger him, don’t blame me for not being able to protect you when Jiang Yanshen settles scores with you.”

Luo Tianxue sat down on the sofa, grabbed a pillow, and hugged it. She said impatiently, “I know, you’re so annoying.”

Lu Dongcheng poured a glass of water and handed it to her. “I’ll introduce you to a few good ones later. What do you like? Scientists? Police? Businessmen?”

Luo Tianxue took a sip of water and couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I don’t like anything. If you’re really so free, go and bother Lu Yuan, don’t bother me.” Upon hearing the words “Lu Yuan”, Lu Dongcheng’s face immediately darkened.

Luo Tianxue also knew that she had stepped on a landmine. She threw down the pillow and stood up. As she walked, she said, “I’m so tired. I’m going to shower and sleep.”

Lu Dongcheng turned his head and looked at her back. “I’ll bring the bird’s nest to your room later. Remember to drink it before sleeping.”

“I know! You’re so long-winded!” Luo Tianxue said without turning around, her voice filled with impatience.

If it were any other woman who dared to talk to him like this, they would have been thrown out long ago. Only Luo Tianxue dared to be so fearless in front of him.

The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up in Jiang Yanshen’s warm embrace and raised her hand to tidy her hair.

Sensing that something was wrong, she placed her right hand in front of her eyes. A diamond ring had appeared on her ring finger.

His warm breath landed on her cheek, and his low and lazy voice sounded. “Do you like this gift?”

Lin Qingqian’s curly eyelashes fluttered, but she didn’t answer him. She only lifted the blanket and said, “I’m going to the washroom.”

With that, she quickly got off the bed and walked to the bathroom.

Jiang Yanshen’s warmth and affection were instantly extinguished, leaving only endless coldness and dullness.

No matter how slow he was, he should have noticed it.

Lin Qingqian was resisting marriage..
