Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. She realized what she was saying and shook her head with a smile. âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â
âYouâre already so old. Auntie really shouldnât have hit you.â A hint of regret surged in Lin Chaoyanâs loving eyes. âYouâre a big girl after all. Slapping your face hurts your self-esteem.â
âAuntie was too angry today. Donât be angry with Auntie. Auntie wonât hit you anymore in the future.â
Although she did not directly say the words âIâm sorryâ, these words were already an apology to Lin Qingqian.
However, the apology of an elder was always reserved and embarrassing.
A pure smile appeared on Lin Qingqianâs delicate face. âI know that Auntie is doing this for my own good. I even hid such a huge matter from Auntie. I really deserve a beating.â
Although this slap was painful, she did not feel aggrieved. Her Auntie loved her deeply and was extremely responsible.
The more Lin Chaoyan heard her say this, the sadder she felt. Her little girl was so good. She had been tricked by Jiang Yanshen, but⦠thinking about what he had said, she was not so worried anymore.
âAlright, Iâll go help them cook.â She glanced at the tent. âIâll call you when Iâm done. Bring the food to the tent to eat. Itâs cold outside.â
Lin Qingqian knew that she was understanding of Jiang Yanshen who had knelt for the entire afternoon, but she was too embarrassed to say it. âThank you,
Auntie. I knew that Auntie dotes on me and Ah Yan.â
Lin Chaoyan spat and said angrily, âWho cares about him!â
She brushed Lin Qingqianâs hand away and turned to go back to work.
Lin Qingqian stood at the same spot and watched her leave. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and she felt relaxed.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and she couldnât help but sneeze. She rubbed her nose and turned to walk into the tent.
Jiang Yanshenâs legs were still in the bucket as he stared at her warmly.
Lin Qingqian first checked the water in the bucket. It was not very hot anymore. She picked up the kettle beside her and mixed it with hot water.
âWhat did you say to Auntie? She looks very happy!â
âNothing,â Jiang Yanshen replied softly.
Lin Qingqian looked up at him with a strange expression, âDonât try to fool me. I know Auntieâs temper and personality very well. If you didnât give her any guarantees, how could she accept you so easily?â
Jiang Yanshen leaned forward, his eyes bright as he said hoarsely, âThen tell me, what guarantee did I give her?â
Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and said, âDonât change the topic.â
After failing to change the topic, Jiang Yanshenâs thin lips curled up helplessly. His burning eyes met hers as he said clearly in a low voice, âI said that when we have children in the future, theyâll take your surname.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Qingqian was stunned and blinked. âWhere did we get a child from?â He really dared to say it!!!
âDidnât you say that weâll adopt one? When the time comes, weâll look for a newborn. Just say that she doesnât know that you gave birth to one,â Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice.
Lin Qingqian:
So she still had to pretend to be pregnant for ten months??
Although his words sounded reasonable, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Ten minutes later, the water turned cold again. When Lin Qingqian wanted to mix it with hot water, Jiang Yanshen rejected her. If he continued soaking in the water, his skin would be wrinkled.
Lin Qingqian wiped him clean with a towel and her gaze landed on the old clothes on the bed. âDo you need my help?â
Jiang Yanshen looked around, his expression a little unnatural. âChange here?â
Although there was mist on the white membrane and it was blurry, he was still not used to it.
âThen Iâll go out and keep watch for you. Change yourself.â
Jiang Yanshen: â
Lin Qingqian walked out and looked around. There was no one around, but Lu Yuan squatted in front of the stove in the distance. It was unclear what he was doing.
âLu Yuanâ¦â
When Lu Yuan heard Lin Qingqian call him, he didnât care about anything else and ran over with a silly expression. âMadam, whatâs the matter?â
âWhat are you doing?â Lin Qingqian glanced at the huge stove not far behind him. There was firewood burning inside.
âBig Sister said that yams roasted inside this are very delicious. I want to make two.â Lu Yuan had only seen roasted yams sold on the streets when he grew up in the city. He had bought them once, but they were not delicious.
Big Sister said that the roasted yams here were a hundred times better than the ones sold in the city, so he wanted to try what a roasted yam that was a hundred times better tasted like.
âIâll help you do it. Go and help me find an ointment.â Lin Qingqian chuckled.
âAlright.â Lu Yuan took his car keys and went to the trunk to get the first aid kit.
Lin Qingqian walked to the stove and used the fire fork to mash the firewood twice. Then, she took out two yams rolled up in foil.
The foil was still very hot. She couldnât hold it with her hands now. She had to let it cool down first.
Lu Yuan returned with the ointment. When he saw the yam, he was excited and reached out to take one.
âItâs hot.â Lin Qingqian slapped his hand away. âWait for it to cool down.â
Lu Yuantie smiled innocently. âMadam, do you want to eat?â
âIâm not eating.â Lin Qingqian took the ointment and stood up to return to the tent.
Lu Yuan asked again, âThen Director Jiangâ¦â
Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yanshen had probably never eaten this thing since he was young.
âThen send one over later.â
âOh.â Lu Yuan was a little disappointed. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked.
Director Jiang was the dignified President of Tianyue Group. He had been living a luxurious life since he was young. Did he lack this piece of yam!
There was no lack!!
Lin Qingqian caught the disappointment in his eyes and laughed. âWe have a lot of yams like this. If you like it, Iâll roast more for you tomorrow night and let you eat to your fill.â
Lu Yuan immediately burst with joy. âThank you, Madam!â
Lin Qingqian took the ointment back to the tent. Jiang Yanshen had already changed and his wet clothes were thrown onto the chair.
Seeing her enter, he said gently, âWhat were you talking about with Lu Yuan?â
âItâs nothing. I roasted some yam tonight. Iâll get him to send one over.â Lin Qingqian walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to touch his pants.
Jiang Yanshen said helplessly, âIâm wearing it.â
Lin Qingqian: âIâll apply the medicine for you.â
âNo need.â Jiang Yanshen held her small hand. âIâll be fine after resting for a night. â
Lin Qingqian did not say anything and only looked at him firmly.
A moment later, Jiang Yanshen let go.
Only then did Lin Qingqian reveal a satisfied expression. She reached out and rolled up his pants. Her heart still ached when she saw his knees.
The bruises were so deep that it was about to turn blackish-purple. Moreoverâ¦
his legs were cold from his knees to his feet. There was no heat.
âDidnât you just soak your feet? Why is it still so cold?â
âMaybe itâs because the blood isnât flowing properly. Itâll recover slowly.â Jiang Yanshen comforted her, as if he wasnât the one who had been kneeling all afternoon.
âI think youâre addicted to being punished by Grandma to kneel. You have to kneel in the ancestral hall of the Jiang Family and my grandfatherâs tombstone.â
Lin Qingqianâs gentle voice was filled with heartache. She lifted the hem of her down jacket and stuffed his feet into her clothes without hesitation, sticking them tightly to her stomach.
Jiang Yanshen was stunned and wanted to pull it out in the next secondâ¦
