Lin Qingqian panicked and hurriedly hugged his waist with both hands to support his heavy body.
Although Jiang Yanshen was not fat, with his height, his weight was naturally not light. Lin Qingqian held on with difficulty and almost fell.
Lu Yuan reacted and quickly went forward to support Jiang Yanshen, sharing a portion of the weight.
Jiang Yanshen stood for a long time and felt that his legs seemed to have regained some feeling. He lowered his head and said, âIâm fine. I just need Lu Yuan to support me.â
Lin Qingqian looked up at him with her bright eyes and did not say anything. Her gaze was puzzled, as if she was worried about something.
âAre you still afraid that Lu Yuan wonât be able to hold me steady?â His low and hoarse voice was filled with doting and teasing.
Lin Qingqian looked at Lu Yuan and said worriedly, âThen be careful. If you canât hold him, I can help.â
Lu Yuanâs back stiffened and he immediately felt a huge pressure. âI, Iâll be careful.â
According to the experience he had summarized over the past year, Lu Yuan had already fully understood that it was fine if he provoked Director Jiang, but if he provoked Young Madamâ¦
Just look at Song Qin.
Although he did not know how Song Qin had offended Madam!
Far away at the Lan City airport, Song Qin, who was about to board the plane and return to her hometown for the new year, couldnât help but sneeze.
Because Jiang Yanshenâs legs were weak, they walked extremely slowly and took more than an hour to return to the village.
She used the hot water on the stove beside her to soak his feet.
Jiang Yanshen sat on the bed as Lin Qingqian walked in with half a bucket of water.
âMadam, you can just call me over for this kind of thing.â Lu Yuan immediately took it and placed the foot-soaking bucket in front of Director Jiang. He said perceptively, âIâll go out first. Call me if you need anything.â
Lin Qingqian nodded and had already squatted down to help Jiang Yanshen take off his shoes.
Jiang Yanshen pulled her arm and said in a low voice, âIâll do it myself.â
âDonât pretend. Didnât you always ask me to dry your hair for you in the past? Are you embarrassed that Iâm only bringing you water to soak your feet today?â Lin Qingqian said indifferently. Her slender hand grabbed his foot and she neatly took off his leather shoes.
Jiang Yanshen could not dissuade her, so he could only let her be. His black eyes stared at her brightly.
His shoes were wet, and his socks were drenched. Lin Qingqianâs palm was pressed against his leg, but she could not feel any warmth. Her heart ached so much that she frowned.
The foot bucket was a little high and could soak his calves. Lin Qingqian wanted to roll up his pants, only to realize that his pants were also drenched, and..
He was only wearing this pair of pants and not even thermal pants underneath.
âYouâre not wearing long johns and youâve been kneeling in the snow for so long. Do you want to become a cripple?â Lin Qingqian raised her head angrily and scolded him fiercely.
Jiang Yanshen was stunned by her sudden fierce expression. Then, his eyes avoided hers as he coughed lightly and said, âIâm not cold.â
âYour legs are already frozen, arenât you cold?â Lin Qingqian slapped his calf angrily.
Water splashed everywhere. The warm water slowly restored the feeling and warmth in his legs, and his heart was wrapped in a warm current.
He bent down and grabbed her hand. âQianqian?â
Lin Qingqianâs tone was very fierce. âWhat?â
âDonât be angry. Get me the long johns. Iâll put them on later, okay?â His low and hoarse voice was filled with coaxing as his thumb rubbed her wet hand carefully.
Lin Qingqian glared at him and flung his hand away. âSoak it yourself. Iâll go get you some long johns.â
Jiang Yanshen knew that she was not angry anymore. He soaked his feet like an obedient child and watched her leave with a smile.
As soon as Lin Qingqian came out of the tent, she saw Lin Chaoyan walking over with a few old clothes in her hand.
âAuntieâ¦â Her eyes lit up and warmth surged in her heart. She knew that Auntie had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Lin Chaoyan said expressionlessly, âIâll talk to him for a while. Find a place to stay.â
When Lin Qingqian heard this, she looked a little nervous. âAuntie, his legs are so cold that he canât feel them anymore. His knees are all bruised.â
That personâs self-esteem was still strong. He did not let her help him up or let Lu Yuan carry him. Heâd gritted his teeth and walked down by himself. He couldnât take any more torture in this state.
Lin Chaoyan glared at her in exasperation. âYou good-for-nothing!â
âAuntie, Iâve already remarried him. If you really anger him, Iâll be the unlucky one!â Lin Qingqian said seriously, âWhat if he takes revenge on me when we go back?â
âHe dares!â Lin Chaoyan raised her chin and said fiercely, âIf he dares to bully you again, Iâll chop him up even if it costs me my life!â
Lin Qingqian suppressed the smile on her lips and hugged her arm, saying coquettishly, âI knew that Auntie dotes on me the most.â
Lin Chaoyan poked her head with her index finger and pretended to be disdainful. âDamn girl, you only know how to make me worry. Iâll be angered to death by you sooner or later!â
âHow can that be? My Auntie is a flower of Yu Mountain. Youâll always be young and beautiful like Fairy Goddess.â
The Fairy Goddess was a local god of the Yu Mountain.
Lin Chaoyan was a little embarrassed and spat. âGet lost⦠Youâre talking nonsense.â
Upon receiving the order, Lin Qingqian quickly found a cool place to stay.
Lin Chaoyan looked at her back with loving eyes and shook her head helplessly⦠She didnât know what kind of bewitching potion that Jiang guy had given her dear niece.
She turned around and walked into the tent. When Jiang Yanshen saw her, he was about to stand up, but he was stopped by Lin Chaoyan.
âAlright, that girl isnât here. Thereâs no need to perform in front of me.â
Lin Chaoyan looked at him as if she was looking at a thousand -year-old fox. She had an aura of competing whose cultivation was higher.
She threw the old clothes in her hand onto the bed and casually pulled over a chair beside her to sit down. She stared at Jiang Yanshen and said coldly, âThis trick of yours can only fool that girl. Thereâs no way you can fool me.â
Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and said respectfully, âYouâre Qianqianâs
Auntie. I respect you as much as Qianqian does.â
What he meant was that he did not use the ruse of self-injury. She was thinking too much.
âHurhur!â Lin Chaoyan wouldnât believe his nonsense. âAlright, stop pretending! Weâre all smart people. Donât beat around the bush.â Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. âAuntie, what do you want to ask?â
âYou really want to live a good life with her, but not because she embarrassed the Jiang family at the wedding and you wanted to play with her?â Lin Chaoyan stared at him with a sharp gaze, afraid that she would miss any traces of his emotions.
âNo,â Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. His deep voice was serious as he said, âI really want to live with Qianqian. I want to grow old with her.â
âWhat about your mother and that little b*tch?â Lin Chaoyan asked again.
âSheâs already been chased out of the Jiang family. As for my motherâ¦â Jiang Yanshenâs deep and hoarse voice paused for a moment, as if he was embarrassed by his familyâs scandal. His throat bobbed a few times as he said slowly, âShe no longer has anything to do with the Jiang family.â
Lin Chaoyan was stunned. She had nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore. In other words, they had broken off their mother-son relationship.
Jiang Yanshen caught the surprise and sympathy in her eyes and lowered his head with a bitter smile. âIâm ashamed to say this. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jiang family is a wealthy family with endless glory, but weâre not even comparable to the most ordinary family.â
Lin Chaoyan looked at his lonely and ashamed appearance and recalled that Qianqian had said in the past that his father had passed away early and he did not have a good relationship with his mother. Only Old Madam Jiang protected him.
He didnât have a father or mother to dote on him. Just like Qianqian, she only had his grandparents to dote on him. With this thought, she didnât find him so annoying anymore.
âI donât want to interfere in your Jiang familyâs matters, and I canât interfere.â Lin Chaoyan sighed and said earnestly, âBut Qianqian is the only girl in our family. As long as Iâm alive, I canât watch her be bullied.
You saw it too. She was born in such a backward and poor mountain village. If you treat her well, sheâll naturally be blessed. But if you donât want to treat her well one dayâ¦â
She paused and laughed self-deprecatingly. âWomen like us donât even have anyone to back us up!â
Jiang Yanshen understood the meaning between the lines and his thin lips moved. âIn the future, when Qianqian and I have a child, the childâs surname will be Lin.â
Lin Chaoyan looked up at him with lowered eyes and said in disbelief, âWill the old lady agree?â
âAlthough Grandma is old, sheâs not a stubborn person. Whether the childâs surname is Lin or Jiang, itâs still my and Qianqianâs child.â Jiang Yanshenâs expression was calm, and he didnât care at all.
Lin Chaoyanâs expression improved a little. âActually, the two of you are young. You can totally have a few more. If no one is available to bring up the child, as long as you donât mind, I can go over and help at any time.â
Jiang Yanshenâs thin lips curled up slightly. âAuntie is right. In the future, when Qianqian is pregnant, Iâll definitely have to trouble Auntie to take care of her. Grandma is old, and Iâm worried about having outsiders do this.â
âThatâs true.â Lin Chaoyan echoed and said frankly, âAlthough Iâve never given birth, Qianqianâs mother was pregnant when I lived with her. After her confinement period, I raised Qianqian single-handedly and didnât raise her badly. Sheâs such a good little girl, right?â
Jiang Yanshen nodded. âAuntie took good care of Qianqian.â
His words were very tactful. After all, with Lin Chaoyanâs personality, if she was the one who taught Qianqian, Qianqian would definitely have become a second Lin Chaoyan.
Fortunately, Qianqian was taught by her grandfather when she was young and followed his uprightness and kindness.
Lin Chaoyan exclaimed and sighed. âAlthough our Qianqian has opened a company and earned some money, she still came from the countryside. In the future, even if she gives birth to a child and the childâs surname is Lin, given the wealth and status of your Jiang family, if your family wants to fight for custody, a small family like ours wonât be able to resist, right?â
Jiang Yanshenâs eyes darkened slightly, and his throat bobbed a few times as he said something indifferently.
Lin Chaoyanâs eyes widened in disbelief. Her mouth involuntarily widened until it could fit an egg.
When Lin Qingqian returned, Lin Chaoyan walked out of the tent with a smile. She was no longer as angry and cold as before.
âAuntie, what did Jiang Yanshen tell you?â
What benefits did Ah Yan promise Auntie? Otherwise, why would she be so happy?
Lin Chaoyan realized that she had gotten a little carried away and hurriedly stopped smiling. âItâs nothing.â
She paused and her gaze landed on her face. Her expression froze for a few seconds.. After taking a deep breath, she asked in a low voice, âDoes it still hurt?â
