《A Beloved Wife in Marriage》 Chapter 1 Happy Birthday, Leaving With Nothing Jiang Yanshen had never told Lin Qingqian that the person she first saw and fell in love with was never him. ¡ªEpigraph. A gust of cold night wind swept up the white curtains, adding a hint of destion and gloom to the quiet night. Lin Qingqian stared transfixed at the phone as if she was in a state of meditation. The white glow radiating from the screen made her face look slightly pale. ¡°Lin Qingqian, happy birthday.¡± When the final seconds ticked down into 00:00, she put down her phone, stuffed thest of her clothes into her suitcase, locked it, and walked out of the room. As she carried the heavy luggage downstairs, she saw Madam Jiang who had just returned from ying cards. She was sitting on the sofa and drinking a bowl of bird¡¯s nest soup stewed by the servants, looking elegant and noble. Li Ruzhu sat at the side and yed with her phone. The casing on the phone was filled with dazzling crystals. When she heard themotion, she only looked up at Lin Qingqian, who was clumsilying down the stairs. Then, she quickly lowered her eyes, as if she did not see her. The other servants also saw her struggling down the stairs with her luggage, but none of them stepped forward to help. Lin Qingqian did not expect them to help her. As long as that man was not in the Jiang family, the Jiang family would automatically categorize her as air. When she finally came down the 81 difficult steps, she pushed the luggage and walked in front of Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang put down the exquisite bowl in her hand and looked up at her as she wiped the corners of her mouth. ¡°What are you doing now?¡± ¡°As you wish, I¡¯m leaving the Jiang family,¡± Lin Qingqian replied indifferently. Madam Jiang was stunned. She quickly looked at Li Ruzhu and said with a cold expression, ¡°As the daughter-inw of the Jiang family, you don¡¯t support the Jiang family, nor do you serve your inws. You run away from home every other day and let Yanshen run back and forth for you. Let¡¯s see which wife in the entire Lan City is like you. Don¡¯t think that you can do whatever you want just because the Old Madam is protecting you.¡± Run away from home? The corners of her lips curled up mockingly. When had she ever run away from home? When had she not been bullied by this woman and Li Ruzhu until she couldn¡¯t take it anymore before she went to hide at Suisui¡¯s ce for a few days? However, after Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu added fuel to the fire, every time Jiang Yanshen heard about it, the story became that she could not stand the teachings of her elders and ran away from home. Lin Qingqian did not waste her breath on her. In any case, they would not believe anything she said. She ced the signed divorce agreement on the coffee table. ¡°I¡¯ve signed the divorce agreement. When Jiang Yanshenes back, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to hand it to him.¡± When Madam Jiang saw her signature on the divorce agreement, a trace of surprise appeared in her eyes. She did not expect her to be serious this time. Although Li Ruzhu did not say anything, she no longer yed with her phone. She looked at Madam Jiang excitedly, thrilled and in disbelief. Was this woman finally going to scram now? She could finally be with Brother Yanshen! Madam Jiang¡¯s heart trembled with excitement, but her expression was still arrogant. She sneered and said, ¡°Back then, you insisted on marrying Yanshen. Now, you¡¯re willing to get a divorce? What if the Old Madames back and says that I¡¯m the one who forced you to get a divorce? Are you hoping that the Old Madam wille after me and scold me for being an evil mother-inw?¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one who wants to get a divorce. No matter whoes back, I¡¯ll tell them the same thing.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was as light as willow catkins, and there was a trace of tenacity in it. She paused for a moment and said, ¡°If you¡¯re worried, you can wait for Jiang Yanshen and I to finish the divorce procedures before informing Grandma.¡± Madam Jiang sized her up suspiciously. Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, the excitement in her eyes could not be suppressed. Li Ruzhu was overjoyed. Lin Qingqian looked at the two of them who wished they could set off firecrackers to celebrate. Thinking of the humiliation and grievances she had suffered in the Jiang family for the past seven years, her heart surged with dense sorrow and depression. If not for the fact that she loved Jiang Yanshen so much, she would not havepromised and endured so much humiliation for seven years. Fortunately, everything was over. In the future, she no longer had to endure Madam Jiang¡¯s pickiness and mean attitude, nor did she have to endure Li Ruzhu, the scheming b*tch. ¡°In order to thank you for taking care of me for the past seven years, I want to give you a gift,¡± Lin Qingqian said. Madam Jiang looked at her suspiciously. ¡°A gift?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. She took a step forward and picked up the exquisite small bowl on the coffee table. Then, she ced the thick and sticky bird¡¯s nest above her head and directly overturned it. Chapter 2 From Now On, We¡¯re Even Back then, when Madam Jiang found out that she and Jiang Yanshen had secretly went to register their marriage, she was so angry that she sshed a cup of hot water on her face. If not for her dodging in time and the hot water sshing in front of her, her face would have been ruined. Now, she had only returned a bowl of bird¡¯s nest to her. They were even. It was considered letting her off easy. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Madam Jiang jumped up in shock. Li Ruzhu hurriedly stood up and wiped her with a tissue. She was flustered and exasperated. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you crazy?¡± Lin Qingqian took a step back and smashed the bowl onto the floor, scaring Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu. ¡°Indeed, in the past, I must have had some kind of mental illness. That¡¯s why I endured in vain to try to live with a mean and evil mother-inw like you, and this white lotus scheming bitch. Now¡ª¡± Her voice paused for a moment, and when it sounded again, it was clear and firm. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve recovered from my mental illness. From now on, I¡¯ll mind my own business, and you will do the same. If anyone takes the initiative to provoke me, don¡¯t me me for being rude.¡± After saying that, she ignored Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu¡¯sical appearances of jumping up and down in anger and left elegantly with her luggage. The ride she had booked was already waiting at the door. Seeing here out, the driver got out enthusiastically, took the suitcase, put it in the trunk, and opened the door for her. Lin Qingqian took onest look at the ce where she had lived for seven years. There were too many memories of her and Jiang Yanshen here, and too many heartaches and grievances¡­ If she could, she did not want to step into this ce again for the rest of her life. Lin Qingqian got into the car and reported her destination. Halfway through the journey, the silence in the carriage was suddenly broken by a song¡ª ¡°May there be a tree in this mountain that is of interest to you. Last night, the stars were just like you. Your body was unparalleled, but there was a spiritual rhinoceros in your heart¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart suddenly constricted, and a heart-piercing pain instantly spread to her limbs and bones. This was the exclusive ringtone she had set for Jiang Yanshen. In the past seven years, she had only hoped to be in love with him and be connected to him. At this moment, the song sounded especially mocking. She smiled self-deprecatingly and ignored the buzzing phone. After a while, the call automatically ended. Jiang Yanshen was a person with a bad temper and poor patience. If she did not pick up his call, he would definitely not call a second time¡­ The phone vibrated again, interrupting her thoughts. It was still Jiang Yanshen. She was a little surprised, but more than that, she felt sad. In seven years, this was the first time he had called her twice in a row. Was it because Madam Jiang had called him toin about her? In the past, even if Jiang Yanshen called and scolded her, she would answer the call happily as long as she could hear Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice. This time, she chose to throw her phone and cards out of the car window, as if she was digging Jiang Yanshen out of her heart. The driver couldn¡¯t help but gasp when he saw her actions in the rearview mirror. If he didn¡¯t see wrongly, she seemed to have thrown out thetest phone. It had just been listed and was priced at tens of thousands. She threw it away without blinking? If not for the fact that he was on a job, he would have stopped the car to pick it up. He looked at the rearview mirror again and saw the indifferent-looking woman curled up into a ball. Faint sobs came from the silent carriage. Ennd. London. Jiang Yanshen sat at the long conference table. His ck eyes were narrowed, and his face was getting uglier and uglier. His fingers holding the phone were pale. This seemed to be the first time she had not picked up his call. The dozen or so executives sitting on both sides of the conference table looked at him carefully. They felt that he was not clutching his phone, but their hearts, which were about to be crushed at any moment. Someone looked at Lu Yuan for help. He was one of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s special assistants and the person who understood Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thoughts the best. When Lu Yuan saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression, he knew that something must have happened to his wife. He tactfully looked down and focused his mind. ¡°Pa!¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly put down his phone and looked up. ¡°Lu Yuan.¡± ¡°Director Jiang,¡± Lu Yuan immediately replied respectfully. ¡°Get the nearest flight back to Lan City.¡± A deep manly voice rang out domineeringly. ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yuan immediately called to book a flight back to Lan City. ¡°Director Jiang, this financing case¡­¡± Before a certain executive could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cold voice. ¡°I¡¯ll give you three more days. When Ie back, I want to either see a perfect financing n or your resignation letter.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and buttoned his suit. He left without even giving them a nce. Chapter 3 I¡¯ll Let You p My Face, You Can Do It A low-key ck Maybach sped along the exotic road to its heart¡¯s content. The man in the back seat was wearing a Bluetooth earphone and talking to someone in a standard British ent. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, hung up the phone. He asked the person on the other end of his call to wait for a moment. His low and mellow voice that was like a cello switched to Chinese and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lu Yuan secretly sized up his expression and said carefully, ¡°The butler said that the Madam is not in the vi. He also said¡­ that the Madam has left with her luggage.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression suddenly darkened, and an icy cold voice flowed out from his thin lips. ¡°Investigate.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s heart was trembling as he thought to himself, ¡®Damn it, who said that Director Jiang doesn¡¯t care about Mrs. Jiang? I¡¯ll p that person¡¯s face swollen when I see him!!¡¯ Jiang Yanshen did not continue the conference call. He turned his head to look at the exotic scenery outside the window. His eyes were misty and unfathomable. ... The small apartment unit in Hua Mansions Condominium was something that Lin Qingqian had rented with her own money. After graduating from university, she registered for marriage with Jiang Yanshen. Although she didn¡¯t have a job, she had a schrship and a Weibo ount with hundreds of thousands of fans. She asionally took on advertisements and umted some savings. Actually, when she graduated, she had also gone out to apply for a job. However, after working for a day, Jiang Yanshen caught her and brought her back home. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exact words at that time were, ¡°Since you¡¯re Mrs. Jiang now, you have to behave ordingly. Our Jiang family doesn¡¯tck that bit of spare money!¡± At that time, she was very happy because she thought that his heart ached for her and he did not want her to work so hard. Now that she thought about it, he probably despised her for embarrassing him. Lin Qingqianid out the bedsheets and suppressed the tears that almost flowed out of her eyes again. She sniffled and cheered herself on. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you can do it.¡± It was just a new beginning. The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up early and went out for a walk to buy breakfast. After eating, she changed her clothes and went to work. The day before her birthday, she received an email from E Fashion Magazine. She had been epted as an intern assistant. Her sry was not high but fortunately, the office was nearby and she could reach it in ten minutes. Coincidentally, it was the busiest two months for the fashion magazine. After Lin Qingqian reported to thepany and received her work pass and daily office supplies, she was ordered around like a spinning top. She did not even have time to drink water. In the afternoon, the editor-in-chief asked her to send the clothes needed for the shoot to the female celebrity. When she walked out of the office, Lin Qingqian was holding the list and did not notice her colleagues¡¯ sympathetic gazes. Lin Qingqian did not know this female celebrity. She only followed the instructions and went to the fashion department to collect the clothes, shoes, and essories she wanted for the shoot. Then, she found the female celebrity¡¯s dressing room. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she heard a woman¡¯s sharp voice from inside. ¡°Do you want to die? How dare you bring me such hot coffee? Are you deliberately trying to scald me to death?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Feifei. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± ¡°Scram! I don¡¯t want to see you¡­ Roll out of here!¡± The door was pulled open from the inside. Lin Qingqian looked down and saw a fat boy with sses lying on the floor. Then, he really rolled out. The woman sitting in front of the makeup mirror turned her head. Her standard inte celebrity face moved away andnded on Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian said calmly, ¡°Miss Li, these are the clothes and shoes for the magazine shootter.¡± She walked into the dressing room and was about to hang up the clothes when Li Feifei suddenly stood up and snatched the clothes. Her expression was ugly as she said, ¡°How dare you give me such lousy clothes to wear?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. Thest time Lin Xue¡¯er went for a photoshoot, you gave her a LV luxury custom-made shirt. But you¡¯re giving me this? What do you mean by it?¡± Li Feifei snatched the clothes and threw them fiercely on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. The buttons on the clothes smashed onto her cheek, and a piece of her fair skin immediately turned red. Chapter 4 Intern Assistant, I¡¯m at Work Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and caught the clothes. She still said in a calm tone, ¡°Miss Li, these are the clothes that the fashion department and your team have confirmed for the photoshoot. If you have any objections, you can look for your team or the fashion department.¡± She was just a new intern and had no right to decide what the models wore for the photoshoot. Li Feifei had just finished a round of cosmetic injections on her face, and her expression was very stiff when she was angry. She pointed at her nose and scolded, ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!¡± From the corner of her eye, she nced at the work pass hanging around her neck. When she saw the words ¡°intern assistant¡±, she became even more arrogant. ¡°A mere intern assistant dares to be so arrogant. Your editor-in-chief doesn¡¯t know how to discipline people. I can help teach on his behalf!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand to p her! Lin Qingqian narrowed her clear eyes. Were celebrities all like this these days? She was about to grab Li Feifei¡¯s wrist when someone moved faster. Li Feifei and Lin Qingqian looked at the owner of the hand in unison¡ª ¡°Jiang, Director Jiang¡­¡± Li Feifei was shocked. There was no one in Lan City who did not know Jiang Yanshen. It had nothing to do with his family background or wealth and status. Just his carved facial features, sharp sword-like eyebrows, bright but icy eyes, and thin lips under his straight nose were very recognizable. He was a sexy and cold man. It was just a nce, but it was enough to make one swoon. Lin Qingqian was also stunned. Why was he here? Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be overseas? After three months, three days, and 16 hours, seeing Jiang Yanshen again, Lin Qingqian no longer had the excitement and desire to hug him tightly. Only the vicissitudes of time and numbness remained. ¡°Director Jiang, you, why are you here?¡± Li Feifei quickly suppressed her excitement and her voice immediately became coquettish. Her eyes were filled with embarrassment, and she wanted to say something but stopped. Could it be that Director Jiang had seen her on television before and specially came to see her today? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was cold as he shook off her hand. Li Feifei lost her bnce in her high heels and staggered to the side. Fortunately, the makeup artist caught and steadied her. Next, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words were like a whip stained with salt water that pped her face. He said, ¡°It¡¯s not your ce to discipline my wife!¡± Li Feifei¡¯s breathing froze as she looked at Lin Qingqian in disbelief, suspecting that she had heard wrongly¡­ Mrs. Jiang? Jiang Yanshen was really married? There was once a rumor that Jiang Yanshen was married, but they had never seen him with any woman. As time passed, everyone thought that it was just a rumor. Who would have thought that it was true? Moreover, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s wife was actually this ordinary intern assistant in front of her? Lin Qingqian was also shocked. This seemed to be the first time Jiang Yanshen had acknowledged her as his wife in front of outsiders. In the past three years, he had never brought her to any of his friends¡¯ gatherings, banquets, or social events, let alone publicly acknowledge that he was married. He had not even worn the wedding ring she had chosen for a long time for him when they registered their marriage. He had thrown it into the drawer and it was covered in dust until now. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp gaze swept across her andnded on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. He reached out and grabbed her wrist before turning to leave without saying a word. Lin Qingqian subconsciously pried her hand away. ¡°I¡¯m at work¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen bent down and grabbed her arm with one hand. He hugged her legs with the other and carried her onto his shoulder. Chapter 5 Born to Be Tortured, Let¡¯s Divorce ¡°Ah!¡± Lin Qingqian eximed, and the world turned upside down. An intense dizziness swept over her. ¡°Lu Yuan, I don¡¯t want to see this zombie face on any screen.¡± Jiang Yanshen said coldly and carried his wife out of the dressing room. It was as if he did not hear Li Feifei¡¯s cries behind him. In the car. Lin Qingqian¡¯s feetnded on the ground, and the dizziness eased slightly. She raised her hand to open the door, but the door was locked. ¡°I want to get off!¡± The driver didn¡¯t move from his seat, and he just nced in the rearview mirror. Jiang Yanshen unbuttoned his suit and said, ¡°Drive.¡± The driver immediately started the engine and the car slowly moved off. Lin Qingqian was so angry by their actions that her chest heaved. She turned to look at the man beside her and repeated, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I want to get out of the car!¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his dark eyes. When he nced at her from the corner of his eye, his eyes were filled with displeasure. ¡°I want to go back to work, so please ask your driver to stop the car immediately!¡± Lin Qingqian was so angry that smoke was about to ooze from her seven apertures, but she still tried her best to restrain her emotions and did not re up. ¡°Work?¡± The man with thin lips pursed into a straight line finally said, ¡°You take a few thousand yuan every month in sry, but you throw your pride to the ground every day to be trampled on. You call this work?¡± His clean and slender fingers pinched Lin Qingqian¡¯s chin. His tone was clearly very soft, but every word was like a poisonous needle pricking Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. ¡°Lin Qingqian, is the wife of me, Jiang Yanshen, too cheap, or are you born to be tortured?¡± Lin Qingqian was so angry that sheughed. She wanted to push his hand away, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great, so she could only give up. Her lips, which did not have any lipstick on, curled up slightly. ¡°Of course, an ordinary person like me can¡¯tpare to Director Jiang, who can easily conduct business worth tens of millions with just a move of his mouth. Just take it that I¡¯m born cheap and like to exchange my pride for money.¡± ¡°If you feel that it¡¯s too embarrasing, just sign the papers and settle the procedures early so that we can be free from each other.¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his dark eyes, his gaze as sharp as thin paper. ¡°What did you say?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and met his gaze. A trace of doubt shed across her heart. Could it be that he didn¡¯t suddenlye back because Madam Jiang had told him about the divorce? The sudden silence made the car as silent as death. Although she had practiced this conversation countless times in her heart, facing Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp gaze, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart still trembled slightly, and it was as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat. This was the man she valued the most and thought that she could spend the rest of her life with, if possible. She could even feel her heart ache when she thought of him. Just as Jiang Yanshen¡¯s patience was about to be exhausted, she suddenly said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, let¡¯s get a divorce.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s skin was very tender, and any casual touch would leave traces. At this moment, her fair skin had already turned red from being pinched, and it made one want to continue to torture her, leaving all kinds of traces. However, at this moment, Jiang Yanshen only wanted to ce his hand on her slender and pitiful neck and break it ruthlessly. ¡°Do you know what you¡¯re talking about?¡± His voice was surprisingly calm, emotionless even. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Jiang Yanshen, let¡¯s get a divorce.¡± She repeated the same words with the same tone. But this time, her voice was even more certain. He let go of her chin because he was worried that he would not be able to control himself and really strangle her to death. His cold voice trembled as he tried his best to suppress his anger. ¡°Qianqian, if a lie is told too many times, no one will believe it.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face suddenly turned pale, and the corners of her mouth curled up with bitterness. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m ying hard to get?¡± Chapter 6 So What? Let¡¯s Go To Court Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He stared at her with his cold eyes, as if he was tacitly agreeing. Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat tightened, and bitterness spread in her heart. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m not joking. I¡¯ve signed the divorce agreement. It¡¯s with Madam Jiang right now.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was as cold as ice. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was wrapped in ice. ¡°I won¡¯t sign it.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to ask why I want a divorce?¡± She turned to look at him, a trace of sorrow shing across her dim eyes. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°The reason is not important.¡± The important thing was that he would not get a divorce. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and smiled, as if she had long guessed that he would say this. After all, she had known him for seven years and loved him for seven years. She still had a certain understanding of him. Jiang Yanshen was a cold and reserved person, strong and domineering. He was used to the obedience of the people around him. Everyone had to follow his rules, and no one could disobey his orders. However, the young man she had once fallen in love with at first nce was not like this. The current Jiang Yanshen was so cold and arbitrary that she was about to suffocate. Thinking of the past, a trace of fatigue and frustration shed across her eyes. She wanted a divorce and to escape from Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold cage. She looked at him and said with a clear and firm voice, making her stand clear again. ¡°If you don¡¯t sign it, we¡¯ll have to go to court.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was very ugly, and his dark eyes were filled with frustration. ¡°Do you think there¡¯s awyer in Lan City who dares to take on my divorce case?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned and could not find any words to refute. With Jiang Yanshen¡¯s current wealth and status, not many people in Lan City dared to go against him. Jiang Yanshen turned his head away from her and closed his eyes to rest. His tense jaw line seemed to be trying its best to suppress something. Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yuan, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly said, ¡°Madam, Director Jiang hasn¡¯t rested for 36 hours. You should let him rest for a while.¡± Jiang Yanshen was a man with ambition written on his face, and he was even more of a workaholic. Once he started working, he did not care about anything. It was also because of this that the Tianyue Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, was revived in just a year after being handed over to him. In three years, it became the number onepany in Lan City. In the past two years, it has expanded its market overseas. The Old Madam of the Jiang family had oncemented on this grandson with a smile. ¡°Yanshen is different from his father. This kid is a wolf, an alpha wolf king who can dominate the grasnds even without a wolf pack.¡± In the end, Lin Qingqian swallowed the words that had reached the corner of her mouth and forced her emotions back into her stomach. Her gaze moved from the man¡¯s cold side profile to the scenery that kept retreating outside the car window. Jiang family. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu had both gone out. The servants were surprised to see Jiang Yanshen suddenly return. When they saw Lin Qingqian, they did not seem too surprised. Jiang Yanshen entered to change his shoes. It was difficult to hide the fatigue on his tall and cold facial features. He said in a low voice, ¡°Get me a bath.¡± These words were clearly directed at Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yan was deeply obsessed with cleanliness. Other than Lin Qingqian, no one could enter his room, let alone the bathroom. Lin Qingqian remained standing at the door, her eyes clear. ¡°We¡¯re about to get a divorce. Let the servants prepare such things for you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bad emotions that he had been suppressed all along copsed at this moment. His dark eyes that were like an abyssnded on Lin Qingqian, like a sharp scalpel that wanted to skin and dismember her. Chapter 7 Quite Sick, Big Brother Yanshen The temperature in the living room kept falling. The sudden silence made the atmosphere as cold as death. Lu Yuan kept signaling Lin Qingqian with his eyes. At this moment, only she could appease Director Jiang¡¯s emotions. If Director Jiang continued to be so irritable, no one would have a good time. What good would that do? Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly and walked up to the second floor to fill his bath. When Jiang Yanshen was in a better mood, perhaps it would be easier to talk about the divorce. As usual, Lin Qingqian prepared a tub of hot water that was exactly 43 degrees and ced some clean clothes on the shelf. When she turned around and saw the man standing at the bathroom door, she lowered her eyes. Just as she was about to pass by him, she heard a low voice. ¡°The gift is by the bedside.¡± She nced at him in response. His tall and cold facial features were calm, as if the person downstairs who was like a violent dungeon boss just now was not him. Then, she looked at the bedside table. Jiang Yanshen had already walked into the bathroom. Did he suddenlye back to give her a gift? Lin Qingqian picked up the rectangr velvet box and took a look. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a sneer. As expected¡ª There was a silver anklet lying quietly in the box. In the past few years, although Jiang Yanshen had not taken her seriously, he would still give her some clothes and jewelry during festive seasons. Most of them seemed to be bracelets and anklets. In the past, she thought that it might be because he was a particr person and liked to give out the same things. Now, it seemed that he had probably tasked Lu Yuan to buy a bunch of these bracelets and anklets on his behalf such that as and when the asion called for it, he could casually take one and give it to her. Either that, or he was sick in the head. And it was the kind of sickness that was quite serious. She closed the box and locked the anklet in the safe with the previous gifts. ... When Lin Qingqian went downstairs, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu had just returned from their beauty treatment. The moment they saw her, Madam Jiang thought of the bowl of sticky bird¡¯s nest that had been poured on her head, and the disgust in her eyes was undisguised. ¡°Why are you back? Who let you in?¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a cold voice behind her. ¡°I brought her back.¡± Madam Jiang looked up and was stunned to see her son standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Clearly, she did not expect him to return at this time. When Li Ruzhu saw Jiang Yanshen, her expression instantly became shy. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s indifferent gaze swept across her face, as if he hadn¡¯t heard anything. His gazended on Lin Qingqian. ¡°What are you waiting for? Come up and help me dry my hair!¡± His ck hair was drenched and dripping, leaving an imperceptible mark on his ck shirt. His entire temperament was abstinent and charming. Lin Qingqian did not hesitate for long. She walked upstairs and had only taken two steps when she heard Madam Jiang¡¯s voice behind her. ¡°Yanshen, didn¡¯t she tell you? She wants to divorce you and has already signed the papers.¡± Jiang Yanshen, who was about to turn around, paused. When he turned around, he heard Li Ruzhu¡¯s sweet voice say, ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, even if you¡¯re angry this time, I still have to say it. Last night, Lin Qingqian said that she wanted a divorce. Auntie only said a few words to her, and she poured a bowl of bird¡¯s nest over Auntie¡¯s head. She really went too far.¡± Although Li Ruzhu was Madam Jiang¡¯s adopted daughter, she had always called her Auntie because Jiang Yanshen did not allow her to address his mother as her stepmother. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and sized up the woman standing below with a questioning gaze. It was difficult to imagine her pouring a bird¡¯s nest over someone¡¯s head. In his memory, she had always been very obedient in front of the Jiang family. It seemed that she had never even raised her voice before. She was even gentle and considerate in front of him, so obedient that it made him feel at ease. Facing his questioning gaze, Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°What they said is true.¡± Chapter 8 You Don¡¯t Love Me, Psychiatrist In the past, she would be worried that Jiang Yanshen would misunderstand her, so she would always hurriedly exin, regardless of whether he believed her or not. Now, it didn¡¯t matter if he misunderstood her or not. It would be even better if he was angry and signed the divorce agreement to set her free. Jiang Yan¡¯s deep eyes lingered on her for a moment before he said slowly, ¡°Apologize.¡± ¡°I refuse.¡± Lin Qingqian said without hesitation. If he wanted her to apologize to Madam Jiang, he had to make Madam Jiang apologize to her for the past treatment first. Madam Jiang used angrily, ¡°Yanshen, look at how she doesn¡¯t have the slightest bit of self-awareness as a daughter-inw. It¡¯s better for you to¡­¡± ¡°She¡¯s been in a bad mood these few days. I¡¯ll apologize on her behalf.¡± Jiang Yanshen interrupted her. ¡°Tell Lu Yuan what you want. Consider it a small token of appreciation from Qianqian.¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s expression darkened. She was spending her son¡¯s money. What kind of appreciation did that count as? Most importantly, her son was actually still so protective of this beggar girl. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, Auntie was so angryst night that her blood pressure soared. She didn¡¯t sleep well the entire night. How could you¡­¡± Before Li Ruzhu could finish speaking, a cold gaze shot over like a de. Her words stopped abruptly and she lowered her eyes timidly. Jiang Yanshen scanned them from above and finally locked his gaze on Lin Qingqian. Without saying a word, he turned around and went upstairs. A trace of disappointment surged in Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart. It seemed that it was impossible to use Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu to persuade Jiang Yanshen to agree to the divorce. Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa, casually wiping his damp hair with a towel. He nced at the woman who walked in slowly from the corner of his eye and lowered his long eyshes as if he hadn¡¯t seen her. Lin Qingqian went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer and walked to the sofa to blow dry his hair. Her porcin-white fingers gently shuttled through his hair, and her fingertips identally touched his scalp. She was like a professional masseuse, making Jiang Yanshen¡¯s suppressed anger dissipate bit by bit. When his hair was dry, Lin Qingqian put down the hairdryer and wanted to talk to him about the divorce. When she sat down, she realized that he had fallen asleep on the sofa. His cold brows were tightly furrowed even after he fell asleep. Once, she thought that she was someone who could smooth out the frown between his brows, but the past seven years had told her that she could not warm Jiang Yanshen up. Jiang Yanshen liked the cold, and the air conditioner in the room was set to a rather low temperature. Lin Qingqian was afraid that he would fall sick, so she went to get a nket to cover him. Just as she was about to go out, her wrist was grabbed. She lowered her head to meet the man¡¯s mixed gaze. The two of them looked at each other in silence, letting the cold air corrode the warmth between their skin. In the end, Lin Qingqian reached out and pried open his fingers. Her voice was calm as she said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you don¡¯t love me, and your mother doesn¡¯t like me. It¡¯s good for everyone if we get a divorce.¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his dark eyes. ¡°What happened to you recently?¡± Unless something had happened, why would she suddenly be a different person? Her personality had changed drastically, and she even wanted a divorce. ¡°Nothing,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Her disappointment and disillusionment with Jiang Yanshen did not happen overnight, and his coldness and neglect over the years had umted those disappointments and heartaches to the point of numbness, until her heart died. Jiang Yanshen did not believe her words. She was fine before. It was impossible for her to suddenly be a different person. He picked up his phone and called Lu Yuan. ¡°Get Doctor Shen toe over.¡± Lin Qingqian did not understand why he suddenly called for a doctor. She thought that he was feeling unwell and stood up. ¡°You should rest, I¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist, and pressed her onto the sofa. His voice was cold as he said, ¡°Shen Zhiwei is the best psychiatrist in Lan City. She will definitely cure you.¡± Chapter 9 Home Service, I¡¯ll Leave It to You Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant. She was so angry that she wanted tough. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re the one who should be seeing a psychiatrist, right?¡± Otherwise, why would he think that she wanted to divorce him because of psychological problems?! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes flickered slightly, and a look quickly shed across them. It was too fast for her to catch it. Hisrge palm grabbed her wrist tightly, and his ck eyes closed slightly. He stopped talking. Lin Qingqian sat up straight and tried to pry open his fingers, but to no avail. Her voice could not hide her anger. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m not sick!¡± He closed his eyes and said coldly, ¡°The doctor has the final say.¡± Lin Qingqian no longer wanted to talk to him. She picked up her phone and looked at her WeChat. She saw that her newly added WeChat group had already exploded. The editor-in-chief sent her a voice message. The general meaning was that she had a noble status and thepany might be restricting her development and they wanted to dismiss her. Jiang Yanshen had openly said that she was Mrs. Jiang. At that time, many people in the dressing room and corridor heard it. For a moment, the news of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s marriage exploded in the industry. Many people on WeChat also sent messages to ask her questions. Some of them even had ill intentions. Lin Qingqian did not reply to any of the messages. She turned off her phone and threw it aside. About 20 minutester, there was a sudden knock on the door. ¡°Director Jiang, Doctor Shen is here.¡± When Lin Qingqian looked up at the man sitting beside her, his originally closed eyes slowly opened. His clear eyes looked past her to the closed door, and his thin lips only uttered two words. ¡°Come in.¡± The door opened and a clear voice sounded at the same time. ¡°Why did you suddenly call me over? Don¡¯t you know that I don¡¯t ept house calls¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, a cold gaze made her voice stop abruptly. Her gazended on the woman beside Jiang Yanshen, and a look shed across her eyes. She introduced herself politely, ¡°Hello, Mrs. Jiang. I¡¯m Shen Zhiwei.¡± A trace of surprise shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. This woman actually knew about her rtionship with Jiang Yanshen? She quietly sized her up with her clear eyes. Shen Zhiwei was wearing a ck professional suit with a white vertical striped shirt underneath. Her ck hair was straight and fell onto her shoulders, and her facial features were upright and delicate. She did not look stiff like a working woman. Instead, she looked like a professional female elite from a Hong Kong movie in the 1980s and 1990s. She seemed capable and bold. While Lin Qingqian was sizing up Shen Zhiwei, Shen Zhiwei was also sizing her up. Her gaze quickly swept towards Jiang Yanshen with a hint of inquiry. Jiang Yanshen stood up and said in a cold voice, ¡°I¡¯ll leave her to you.¡± Shen Zhiwei raised her eyebrows slightly. Clearly, she did not expect Mrs. Jiang to be the one who needed to see a psychiatrist. Lin Qingqian looked up at the man¡¯s back as he walked towards the door and suddenly said, ¡°If Doctor Shen proves that there¡¯s nothing wrong with my mind, will you sign the divorce papers?¡± Jiang Yanshen paused, but he did not turn around. He only gave her a determined back view. A trace of surprise shed across Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyes, as if she had discovered some extraordinary secret. Lin Qingqian looked at her. ¡°I just want a divorce, but he thinks that I¡¯m mentally ill. Do you think I¡¯m sick or he¡¯s sick?¡± Shen Zhiwei naturally would not answer such an offensive question. She carried her briefcase to the sofa and asked politely, ¡°May I sit down first?¡± Lin Qingqian made an inviting gesture. Shen Zhiwei sat down and ced her briefcase aside. She looked up at the woman sitting opposite her and smiled. ¡°Actually, as society develops, the pace of life will be faster and faster, and the pressure on people will increase. Everyone will more or less develop some psychological problems.¡± ¡°Since Director Jiang has invited me over, Mrs. Jiang, why don¡¯t you make the most of it? If you have any worries or unhappiness, you can talk to me. Just treat this session as a free dumpster for your troubles.¡± Chapter 10 Standard Widow Marriage Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°My biggest problem now is that Jiang Yanshen refuses to sign the divorce agreement. Can you help me resolve this problem?¡± The smile on Shen Zhiwei¡¯s lips froze. Who was the one who told her that Mrs. Jiang was gentle and obedient and a weak bun who had no opinions? She promised not to beat him to death!! This woman was simply a rose with thorns. ... Half an hourter, Shen Zhiwei went downstairs with her briefcase. Jiang Yanshen was on the phone when he saw her from the corner of his eye. He quickly ended the call and stared at her. Shen Zhiwei stopped in front of him. ¡°Mrs. Jiang isn¡¯t depressed, and she doesn¡¯t have split personalities. Other than feeling a little unconfident and inferior, her mental health ispletely fine.¡± ¡°Completely fine?¡± His cold brows suddenly furrowed, clearly not believing her conclusion. Shen Zhiwei maintained a polite smile. ¡°President Jiang, are you doubting my professional ability?¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent. In terms of professional ability, there was no better psychiatrist in Lan City than Shen Zhiwei. Shen Zhiwei saw that he was frowning and that he could not hide the confusion in his ck eyes. She reminded him kindly, ¡°Director Jiang, when a woman asks for a divorce, it doesn¡¯t always mean that she has psychological problems. It¡¯s also possible that she¡¯s disappointed in this marriage or has umted too many disappointments for her other half.¡± ¡°Disappointments?¡± Jiang Yan looked at her with confusion. Seeing that he still did not understand, Shen Zhiwei could not help but sigh. ¡°As far as I know, after the two of you got married, the number of times you saw each other could be counted on one hand. The outside world doesn¡¯t even know that you¡¯re married. To be precise, Mrs. Jiang¡¯s marriage for the past three years is a standard widowed marriage.¡± No woman could tolerate such a marriage, okay!!! Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly, only vaguely understanding her words. Shen Zhiwei had already done her best. She turned to leave, but after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned to look at him. ¡°You¡­¡± As soon as she opened her mouth, Jiang Yanshen turned his head and shot a cold gaze over. Shen Zhiwei realized something and swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. She nodded and said goodbye. Jiang Yanshen went upstairs and pushed open the door to see Lin Qingqian curled up on the sofa in a daze. Her exquisite chin was pressed against her knee, and her curled eyshes fluttered. Her calm gaze hid her thoughts, making him unable to see through her. In the past, Lin Qingqian was like a piece of white paper. Her emotions were written all over her face. He could see through her at a nce. When did he start to not understand what she was thinking? Lin Qingqian nced at his tall figure from the corner of her eye and calmly put on her shoes. She stood up and said, ¡°Can I leave now?¡± He stared at her bare face and subconsciously blurted out, ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Where I should go.¡± What she meant was that the Jiang family was not a ce she should havee to. Jiang Yanshen pondered for a moment. ¡°If you¡¯re really unhappy, you can stay in a hotel for a few days to rx. I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted him. ¡°I hope you can consider the divorce carefully.¡± Jiang Yanshen pretended not to hear her and said, ¡°Either let Lu Yuan book a hotel, or you stay here and don¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± This person was really as impossible tomunicate with as ever!! ... Under Lu Yuan¡¯s arrangements, Lin Qingqian checked into the presidential suite of the hotel under the Tianyue Corporation. Jiang Yanshen sent her to the entrance of the hotel and left. Halfway through the journey, he received a call from Lu Shang and changed direction, going to Restaurant 1942. In the early evenings, there were not many guests in 1942. The waiter recognized Jiang Yanshen at a nce and went forward to lead him to the private room. As soon as the door of the private room was pushed open, a man who was lying limply on the sofa quickly stood up to wee him. His voice was as sharp and ear-piercing as a rooster crowing. ¡°Ah Yan, you¡¯re finally back. It¡¯s been a few months since west met. I missed you to death¡­¡± Chapter 11 You Don¡¯t Even Drink Wine, What Fun Is There in Living? Jiang Yanshen walked around him with a cold expression and sat down on the sofa. His cold voice was filled with disdain. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± The man turned to look at him. ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying. Can¡¯t I meet you for no reason? It¡¯s been three months since west met. Do you really not miss me and Ah Ci at all¡­¡± Gu Xici¡¯s hand that was holding the wine ss trembled. He looked up and rolled his eyes. ¡°Lu Qinshang, can you not f*cking disgust me?¡± Lu Qinshang grinned and his voice returned to normal. ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes swept across the two of them indifferently, and his brows gradually furrowed with impatience. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave.¡± Just as he was about to get up, Lu Qinshang pped him back. He poured a ss of wine and handed it to Jiang Yanshen. ¡°What¡¯s the hurry? We knew that you were about to climb out of the grave and start a new life, so we specially celebrated your regaining your freedom and running towards the wide forest!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened, and his tone turned cold. ¡°Who told you that?¡± He had just returned, and in less than a day, the news of the divorce had reached their ears. ¡°Who else could it be?¡± Seeing that he was not in a hurry to take the cup, Lu Qinshang said slowly, ¡°It¡¯s all because Jiang Yunshen called and told us. He was just short of setting off firecrackers to celebrate for you.¡± Jiang Yunshen was the son of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s second uncle. He had been Jiang Yanshen¡¯s follower since he was young. The more he admired Jiang Yanshen, the more he hated Lin Qingqian. If there was anyone else who was happiest about Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian¡¯s divorce, it would be Jiang Yunshen. ¡°Hey, are you really not going to take a sip?¡± Lu Qinshang elbowed him and shook the wine ss in his hand. Jiang Yan nced at him and did not say anything. Lu Qin found it boring and drank it all in one gulp. He put down the wine ss and said, ¡°You don¡¯t drink wine. What fun is there in living?¡± Jiang Yanshen was a very disciplined person, so disciplined that he was almost abnormal. He did not smoke, drink, or indulge in women. If not for the fact that he was a workaholic, Lu Qinshang would have suspected that he was about to cultivate to be an Immortal. Gu Xici handed him a ss of water. ¡°You¡¯re really getting a divorce?¡± Before Jiang Yanshen could speak, Lu Qinshang interrupted, ¡°Of course he has to get a divorce. Isn¡¯t marrying an idiot like Lin Qingqian to Ah Yan a waste of our Ah Yan¡¯s good looks?¡± After a pause, he gloated. ¡°I heard that Lin Qingqian poured a bowl of bird¡¯s nest on Madam Jiang¡¯s head this time. I really didn¡¯t expect a person who usually looks like a bun to be so fierce¡­¡± Before he could finish, Gu Xici gave him a look. Lu Qinshang reacted with a dumbfounded expression. Did I say something wrong? Gu Xici was speechless for a moment before looking at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°You don¡¯t want a divorce?¡± Jiang Yan took a deep sip of water and asked indifferently, ¡°Why should I get a divorce?¡± ¡°¡­¡± There was a long silence in the private room. ... Lin Qingqian rarely came to the bar. The noisy environment made her feel a little ufortable. She turned to look at Suisui beside her. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you had something to discuss with me? Why did you bring me to the bar?¡± Yan Sui sat on the sofa and swayed her body to the rhythm of the bar¡¯s music. She smiled brightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you get a divorce and finally leave the Jiang family and that pervert Jiang Yanshen? As your good sister, I naturally have to help you celebrate.¡± Lin Qingqian was speechless for a moment before saying, ¡°Jiang Yanshen hasn¡¯t signed it yet.¡± ¡°In any case, he¡¯ll sign it sooner orter.¡± Yan Sui¡¯s slender arm hooked around her neck as she said excitedly, ¡°Most importantly, you know that you¡¯ve crawled out of that fire pit! Tonight, it¡¯s my treat. You can eat and drink as much as you want. Of course, if you like someone, you can also¡­¡± The more she spoke, the more indecent she became. Lin Qingqian removed her arm. ¡°Stop fooling around. I don¡¯t want to be dismembered by Jiang Yanshen yet!¡± She and Jiang Yanshen had yet to get a divorce. If Jiang Yanshen found out that she had cheated on him, she was afraid that she would die without a grave. Moreover, she had never thought of looking for her next spring right after divorcing Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen had already exhausted all her strength and she did not have the strength to love anyone else. Yan Sui snorted in disdain. ¡°What¡¯s so good about that Jiang Yanshen? Other than being handsome, he¡¯spletely useless. Look, you¡¯ve been chasing him for four years and been married for three years. Does he have any reaction at all? He¡¯s simply like a chunk of rock. No matter how handsome the rock is, it¡¯s useless!¡± Yan Sui had seen how much she had suffered in the Jiang family all these years, so she had naturally been aggrieved for her for a long time. Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly and she remained silent. When she was 18 years old, she was admitted to a university in Lan City. That year, her grandfather passed away. The Old Madam of the Jiang family personally went to Yushan to apany her grandfather¡¯s coffin and brought her to the Jiang family to take care of her. It was that year when she met Jiang Yanshen. She chased after him for four years and was married to him for three years. In the end, it was all for naught. Yan Sui said earnestly, ¡°Fortunately, it¡¯s not toote to figure it out now. After giving up on Jiang Yanshen, there¡¯s an entire forest out there that¡¯s open to you now!! Oh, except for Lu Qinshang!¡± At the mention of Lu Qinshang, Yan Sui became infatuated. She cupped her face and said, ¡°People want clothes and flowers want beauty. I just want to sleep with Lu Qinshang!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a sneer sounded behind them. Chapter 12 I¡¯ll Say It Even If Jiang Yanshen Is Here, He¡¯s Really Blind Lin Qingqian and Yan Sui turned around almost at the same time and saw Li Ruzhu standing side by side with another girl. The girl had put on heavy makeup. As she hade to the bar to y, she was wearing a short ck dress. When she saw Lin Qingqian and Yan Sui in high heels, her eyes were filled with disdain. ¡°You want to sleep with Qinshang? Why don¡¯t you go home and look at yourself in the mirror to see what you look like?¡± Lu Qinshang was the young master of the Lu family in Lan City, and he was also a popr male celebrity in the entertainment industry. His fans spanned from the age of eight to the age of 80. They were from all walks of life, and even the rich youngdies and socialites of the upper-ss society were his fans. Yan Sui immediately stood up angrily and wanted to argue with the other party. Lin Qingqian quickly pulled her back. ¡°Suisui, don¡¯t be rash.¡± Yan Sui nced at her and did not say anything. It was Li Ruzhu who said, ¡°Sister Qingqian, why are you here? Does Big Brother Yanshen know that you came to the bar?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could speak, the girl beside her said in surprise, ¡°She¡¯s the Lin Qingqian who¡¯s been spreading like wildfire in the industry?¡± Her unfriendly gaze sized up Lin Qingqian a few times. ¡°What kind of taste does Jiang Yanshen have? He didn¡¯t want such a good girl like Ruzhu and actually married this kind of lousy woman.¡± The moment Jiang Yanshen carried her out of the magazine agency, rumors had spread like wildfire. The name Lin Qingqian was not unfamiliar to those in the industry. When Old Madam Jiang brought her to Lan City, she had introduced Lin Qingqian to the public. She said that the granddaughter of an old friend was also her granddaughter. Later on, Lin Qingqian fell in love with Jiang Yanshen and almost used all her courage to follow him. Everyone in Lan City knew about this. Jiang Yanshen did not like Lin Qingqian. This was something that everyone in Lan City knew. Some people even guessed that Jiang Yanshen had rarely appeared in Lan City in the past three years to avoid Lin Qingqian. Now that it was suddenly revealed that Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were married, it was inevitable that people would think that Lin Qingqian had used despicable methods to force Jiang Yanshen to submit. ¡°Ah Shuang, don¡¯t say that. Big Brother Yanshen will be unhappy if he finds out.¡± Although Li Ruzhu said this, she looked at Lin Qingqian with a smug gaze. ¡°Even if Jiang Yanshen is here, I still have to say that he¡¯s really blind!!¡± Ling Shuang said arrogantly. Before Lin Qingqian could get angry, Yan Sui could not help but stand up and raise her chin. ¡°Who are you? It¡¯s none of your business who Jiang Yanshen marries!¡± ¡°Which bumpkin is this? You don¡¯t even know who I am and dares toe to 1942!¡± Ling Shuang sneered. ¡°Who are you calling a bumpkin?¡± Yan Sui retorted. ¡°I¡¯m calling you a bumpkin!¡± Ling Shuang reacted the moment she blurted it out. When she saw Yan Sui¡¯s smile, she immediately said angrily, ¡°You dare to y me!¡± ¡°It¡¯s your own stupidity. It has nothing to do with me!¡± Yan Sui rolled her eyes. Ling Shuang stepped forward in exasperation and wanted to p Yan Sui, but before she could touch her, she was stopped by someone. Lin Qingqian grabbed her wrist tightly and frowned. ¡°You spoke rudely to us first and even wanted to hit someone. Don¡¯t go too far with your bullying.¡± ¡°So what if I bully the two of you?¡± Ling Shuang gritted her teeth and tried to shake off her hand. Lin Qingqian had grown up in Yushan since she was young. She had followed her grandfather around the mountains, carried stones and wood. Her strength was not something that these indoor flowers couldpare to. The more she struggled, the tighter Lin Qingqian grabbed her, as if she wanted to break her bones. Ling Shuang¡¯s expression twisted from the pain. Her eyes were filled with fog, and she suddenly became weak and pitiful. ¡°You, what are you trying to do?¡± Without waiting for Lin Qingqian to answer, she shouted at the person beside her, ¡°Help! Someone ismitting assault. Someone save me¡­¡± Chapter 13 Are You Worthy? With her shout, everyone who was drinking and dancing stopped and looked over curiously. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair face was expressionless. Her slender fingers grabbed Ling Shuang¡¯s wrist tightly, and Ling Shuang¡¯s face was pale with fear. Coupled with her tears, it was very easy to imagine the situation. ¡°Sister Qingqian, what are you doing? Let go of Ah Shuang quickly!¡± Li Ruzhu said from the side, but she stood still. Ling Shuang often hung out in 1942. Two of her suitors recognized her at a nce and walked over, saying fiercely, ¡°You dare to touch Princess Ling Shuang? You¡¯re courting death!¡± As they spoke, a palm was already pping towards Lin Qingqian. Yan Sui was shocked. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian watched as therge palm flew over. Just as she was about to let go of Ling Shuang and dodge, someone moved even faster and caught the man¡¯s hand, even bending it ruthlessly. The man screamed like a pig being ughtered. ¡°How dare you touch my wife? How do you want to die?¡± The man¡¯s thin lips moved. His tone was clearly very calm, but it made one¡¯s hair stand on end. The man¡¯s terrified eyes darted between Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian. He originally wanted to save the damsel in distress and win the heart of the beauty. Who would have thought that he would kick an iron te and offend Jiang Yanshen!!! Jiang Yanshen shook off the man¡¯s hand and said indifferently, ¡°This man disturbed order in a public ce, intimidated and threatened the safety of others. Officer Gu, what do you say?¡± Gu Xici stepped forward and handcuffed the man. ¡°I¡¯m taking him back to the station.¡± He paused and nced at Lin Qingqian, who was slightly surprised. He nodded politely and pulled the man away. Ling Shuang was already dumbfounded, and Li Ruzhu was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen did not even look at her. His gazended on Ling Shuang¡¯s face, and his thin lips moved. ¡°If I was blind to marry her, who should I marry? You?¡± His light tone was extremely cold as he said, ¡°Are you worthy?¡± Ling Shuang was humiliated by Jiang Yanshen and lost all face. The tears in her eyes flowed down as she turned around and ran out. ¡°Ah Shuang!!¡± Li Ruzhu did not expect Jiang Yanshen to be here. From the looks of it, he was going to protect Lin Qingqian. Afraid that he would vent his anger on her, she pretended to chase after Ling Shuang. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes shot towards the delicate woman without any warmth. Lin Qingqian avoided his gaze and looked at Yan Sui. ¡°Suisui, are you alright?¡± Yan Sui shook her head and swallowed her words under Jiang Yan¡¯s oppressive gaze. This was not the first time she had seen Jiang Yanshen, but every time she saw him, she felt an inexplicable chill run down her spine. She did not understand what Qianqian liked about such a gloomy man. In the end, Jiang Yanshen was the first to speak. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Lin Qingqian did not reply. She turned to look at Yan Sui. ¡°Suisui, you¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Yan Sui interrupted her. ¡°Go back quickly. I¡¯ll take a taxi back myselfter. Hehe¡­¡± When she caught Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gaze, she tried her best to squeeze out a polite smile. Lin Qingqian knew that she was afraid of Jiang Yanshen, so she did not say anything. She turned around and walked towards the door of the bar, with Jiang Yanshen following behind her. Yan Sui looked at their departing figures and patted her shocked heart as she heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s already the eighth miracle of the world for Qianqian to love a gloomy and boring man like Jiang Yanshen for seven years.¡± A man who was about to pass by her suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard her words. He nced at the young girl from the corner of his eye. Her fair skin was flushed red, and she looked very cute. ¡ªPeople want clothes and flowers want beauty. I just want to sleep with Lu Qinshang! His attractive lips curled up slightly. This girl was interesting. Yan Sui retracted her gaze and inadvertently saw the man wearing a cap beside her. She hurriedly nced at his side profile. Why did he look so much like Lu Qinshang? She must be seeing things. Lu Qinshang was so popr. Why would hee to a ce like 1942! ... At the hotel. Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa. His handsome facial features were cold and arrogant, and his deep eyes were filled with anger. He sat there silently, as if he was waiting for something. Chapter 14 Jiang Yanshen Is a Dog of a Man Lin Qingqian acted as if she did not see him. She changed her shoes and poured water for herself before turning around and entering the room. Seeing that she had no intention of talking to him, Jiang Yanshen stood up and grabbed her arm. His voice was low. ¡°¡­Lin Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Her indifferent attitude made Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart feel inexplicably stuffy. It was as if a punch that he had thrown with all his might hadnded on cotton. It was very ufortable. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to exin to me?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What should I exin to you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He asked coldly, ¡°Who allowed you to go to the bar?¡± ¡°I¡¯m already an adult. It¡¯s my freedom to go wherever I want. I don¡¯t need your approval,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. In the past, when she was in university, her ssmates had once brought her to a bar to y. In the end, Jiang Yanshen found out and he did not speak to her for a week. She repeatedly promised not to go to a bar in the future before Jiang Yanshen forgave her. In the past, she had always ced Jiang Yanshen¡¯s emotions before hers. Now¡­ there was no need. ¡°I¡¯m your husband!¡± He gritted his teeth, his voice barelying out of his throat. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Not for long.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you have to talk to me like this?¡± The strength in his hand involuntarily increased, and Lin Qingqian could not help but frown in pain. She reached out to pry open his fingers. ¡°Then how did you talk to me?¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned for a moment before her calm and clear voice sounded in his ear. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, have you ever respected me? Or have you always treated me as your subordinate? I must definitely obey all your orders?!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled into a mocking smile, and his voice was cold. ¡°You¡¯re talking about respect with me now? Who was the one who told Grandma that she didn¡¯t care about anything as long as she could marry me?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair face immediately turned pale, and a bone-piercing chill surged from the depths of her heart. It instantly spread to her limbs and bones, as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She never expected Jiang Yanshen to use her words from back then to attack her. For a moment, her heart ached and she was angry. Her cherry lips moved as she said unhurriedly, ¡°Suisui was right. I was really blind to fall for a dog of a man like you back then!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she mmed the door shut and swiftly locked it! ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yan had expected her to be angry, but he did not expect her to be so angry. Most importantly¡­ She actually called him a dog of a man!! Shen Zhiwei even said that there was nothing wrong with her mind? This would never have happened in the past! Her cold and sharp eyes stared fixedly at the door. Suddenly, a thought shed across his mind¡ªperhaps he should look for a mage to exorcize the evil from her? ... Lin Qingqian stood in front of the mirror. Her slightly pale face was reflected in the mirror, and her red eyes could not hide her anger as tears filled them. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice echoed in her ears, and the tears that reached her eyes were forced back. Suisui was right. Jiang Yanshen was a dog of a man. He was not worthy of her tears! Sleep! Perhaps because too many things had happened today, Lin Qingqian was really tired. Although she was so angry with Jiang Yanshen that her heart rate could not slow down, she sessfully fell into a dream shortly after lying down. The moonlight outside the window climbed to the top of the building, and a silvery light spilled all over the ground through the gaps in the curtains. The closed door was gently pushed open, and aplicated and probing gazended on the woman on the bed. Chapter 15 That ce Is Full of Gays In Jiang Yanshen¡¯s memory, Lin Qingqian had always been an obedient and docile person. She had never gone against his wishes. It was as if her sky would copse if he so much as frowned slightly in front of her. Why did she suddenly seem to have be a different person now and was determined to get a divorce? Lin Qingqian slept very peacefully and did not notice that there was someone standing by the bed. When she turned over, she had kicked off half of the nket on her body, revealing her snow-white shoulders. Jiang Yanshen bent down and pulled the nket up for her. His gaze inadvertently swept across her red lips, and his Adam¡¯s apple tightened. He was not a lustful person, and he had only been intimate with her a few times. However, those few times were enough to make the self-control he was so proud of copse. Losing control was not a good thing for him! Breathe, breathe again, try to suppress his lust¡­ In the end, rationality could not resist the temptation and he slowly approached her fair face. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Jiang Yanshen paused and quickly turned around with a cold gaze. Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks and looked at him, then at the sleeping Lin Qingqian. He immediately understood something and quickly lowered his eyes, saying in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Director Jiang. Please continue.¡± With that, he considerately closed the door for him. The veins on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s forehead twitched. It was impossible to continue. He turned around and took a deep look at the sleeping woman. After tucking her in, he turned around and left. ¡°Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked to the sofa and sat down. Afraid of waking up the person in the room, he lowered his voice. Lu Yuan: ¡°I¡¯ve already investigated carefully. In the three months you were in Ennd, nothing special happened to Madam in Lan City. Madam Jiang and Miss Li also didn¡¯t do anything overboard to Madam.¡± It was just a few mocking words. These things had often happened in the past. Madam probably wouldn¡¯t mention divorce with Director Jiang over such a thing. Jiang Yanshen frowned even more. There was no psychological problem, and nothing special had happened. Could it really be as Shen Zhiwei had said¡­ ¡°Lu Yuan, help me do something else.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and instructed him concisely. Surprise shed across Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes, but he did not question his orders. He said hesitantly, ¡°But the English are still waiting for you to make a decision.¡± They had been preparing for this acquisition for almost half a year and were about to wrap it up. It would be a pity if Director Jiang did not go over and all his efforts were in vain. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyebrows did not move as he said indifferently, ¡°Send Yunshen over. His business in Japan should be over by now.¡± Lu Yuan was slightly surprised. How did the Second Young Master Jiang offend Director Jiang? One had to know that the Second Young Master Jiang hated going to London the most because gays were everywhere. Coincidentally, the Second Young Master Jiang was the type guy that gays liked the most. ... The next day. When Lin Qingqian walked out of the door, she saw a man sitting at the dining table, holding a video conference. He was wearing a dark blue shirt and ck tie. His slender figure was sitting upright. He was simply even more handsome than the male leads in blockbuster movies. Jiang Yanshen nced at her from the corner of his eye and said concisely, ¡°If you can¡¯t take down this acquisition case, you don¡¯t have to return to Lan City.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned off theputer and took off his earphones. ¡°Lu Yuan, breakfast.¡± Lu Yuan, who was guarding at the side, immediately dialed the internal line and asked the waiter to bring the breakfast in. After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen stood up. Lu Yuan tacitly stepped forward and handed him his jacket. As he buttoned his sleeves, he looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Follow me somewhere.¡± ¡°Where?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Jiang Yanshen did not answer. After tidying up, he walked towards the door. Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± This dog of a man would probably never learn to respect others in his life. Chapter 16 Jiang Yanshen, Do You Love Me? At the Violet Wedding Dress Shop. ¡°Director Jiang, these are thetest wedding dresses that were flown over from Paris overnight ording to your request. Every piece was personally designed by a top master. It hasn¡¯t been announced to the public yet.¡± The wedding consultant stood beside Jiang Yanshen and was as respectful as if she was serving the Emperor. Jiang Yanshen hummed indifferently. His gaze swept across the wedding dress and finally locked onto Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. ¡°Pick something you like.¡± Lin Qingqian sat there without moving. She did not even look at the wedding dresses that were worth tens of millions. Instead, she said with a cold expression, ¡°What is the meaning of this?¡± Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°We¡¯ll hold a wedding in half a month. You can hold the wedding anywhere you want. Lu Yuan will arrange everything.¡± Lu Yuan revealed an awkward but polite smile. He didn¡¯t know what was wrong with Director Jiangst night. He suddenly said that he wanted to hold a wedding in half a month. If not for the fact that he said that the time was too tight, Director Jiang would probably have gone ahead with the wedding in a week. Lin Qingqian was not as happy as Jiang Yanshen had expected. She grabbed his arm and sighed softly, ¡°Ah Yan, Ah Yan.¡± Then, she stood up and left. Jiang Yanshen frowned and stood up to hold her slender wrist. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know where she got the strength from, but she shook off his hand and turned to look at him. She was so angry that her chest was heaving. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I want a divorce, not a wedding!¡± She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to have a wedding with you!!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened. When Lu Yuan saw that the atmosphere was not right, he immediately gave the wedding consultant a look and the two of them tactfully left. ¡°Lin Qingqian, how long are you going to cause trouble?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips twitched slightly, and his cold voice contained anger. ¡°Heh!¡± Lin Qingqianughed in anger. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, do you still think that I¡¯m ying hard to get?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned coldly as his dark eyes stared at her in face. It was only at this moment that he was finally sure that Lin Qingqian really wanted a divorce. But she had proposed a divorce without warning or reason. ¡°Why?¡± Even Jiang Yanshen, who had always felt that other people¡¯s thoughts were not important, could not help but ask. Lin Qingqian did not answer and asked instead, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, do you love me?¡± Jiang Yanshen fell silent. Love? In the past 28 years, he had never known what ¡°love¡± was! Father Jiang had died early, and Mother Jiang was busy doing beauty shopping and ying mahjong every day. The Old Madam had only taught him how to survive in this world filled with wolves, tigers, and leopards. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯ve never loved me. You don¡¯t even like me. If I be lost in a crowd, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t even be able to recognize me.¡± Lin Qingqian looked straight at him as she said this. She didn¡¯t even have the intention to cry anymore. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, but his tense jawline betrayed his unhappy emotions. ¡°You loved me, so I had to marry you. Now that you want a divorce, I have to agree to it?¡± He paused for a moment, his thin lips filled with mockery. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you think that it¡¯s so easy to get rid of me, Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath. Of course, she knew that Jiang Yanshen had never been an easy person to dismiss. Otherwise, how could he be a legend in Lan City? ¡°I know that Grandma had lied to you back then by pretending to be sick. It¡¯s also my fault for not telling you out of selfishness. But isn¡¯t three years enough topensate for this mistake?¡± Chapter 17 Then Give Me A Lifetime Back then, Jiang Yanshen did not ept her courtship, but he did not reject her. She followed him around like a little tail every day. Old Madam Jiang saw everything, so when Lin Qingqian graduated from university, she pretended to be sick and lied to Jiang Yanshen that she did not have much time left. She wanted to see him get married and have children. Jiang Yanshen had grown up under the olddy¡¯s feet since he was young, so he naturally could not refuse the olddy¡¯s request and he brought Lin Qingqian to register for marriage. After that, Jiang Yanshen found out that Old Madam Jiang had lied to him. He lost his temper, but he did not mention a divorce. It was just that he was busy with work and did not return to the Jiang family much. Before long, Old Madam Jiang moved to Jiang City to recuperate. Lin Qingqian faced Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu alone in the Jiang family everyday and she could only silently swallow all the grievances. In those three years, the more she lived, the more depressed she became. She was like a canary trapped in a cage, gradually losing her vitality. Now that she hadpletely let go, she no longer wanted to live for love. She wanted to live for herself! ¡°It¡¯s not enough.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice was like a heartless emperor. ¡°Since you want to pay for this mistake, you can give me a lifetime.¡± From the day he decided to register his marriage with her, he had never thought of getting a divorce. Lin Qingqian¡¯s body suddenly trembled, and her heart ached. Looking at his tall and cold face, she really wanted to smash him into pieces with a rock! This dog of a man, he always had the ability to make people want to kill him!! ¡°Jiang Yanshen, f*cking go and die!!¡± Lin Qingqian finished cursing in exasperation. Ignoring the shock in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes, she turned around and ran. If she didn¡¯t run now, she was afraid that she wouldn¡¯t be able to stop herself from stabbing that dog of a man!! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened, and shock and disbelief filled his eyes. Yesterday, she scolded and called him a dog of a man. Today, she told him to die, and she even cursed at him! Was this really Lin Qingqian?? Lu Yuan was also shocked. When he walked over, he had a stunned expression. Half of it was because Lin Qingqian had the guts to ask Director Jiang to go and die, and the other half was because of Director Jiang¡¯s desire to live. Other people¡¯s desire to live was at most zero, but Director Jiang¡¯s was¡­ negative. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen regained his senses and restrained his emotions. He said in a cold voice, ¡°Get someone to keep an eye on her. I don¡¯t want any idents before the wedding.¡± ... ¡°Pfft!¡± After hearing Lin Qingqian¡¯s words, Yan Sui spat out the coffee in her mouth and was dumbfounded. ¡°Is Jiang Yanshen mentally ill?¡± When a normal person faced his wife¡¯s firm request for a divorce, they would at most try to persuade her to stay. If they couldn¡¯t, they would get a divorce. But Jiang Yanshen forced Qianqian to hold a wedding and announce it to the world? Lin Qingqian took a sip of iced coffee and finally calmed the anger in her heart. She sighed deeply. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Perhaps!¡± Yan Sui saw the worry on her face and was not in the mood to joke. She asked carefully, ¡°What are you going to do? Are you really going to hold a wedding with him?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I won¡¯t hold a wedding with him, let alone continue to be Mrs. Jiang.¡± ¡°So what are you going to do?¡± Lin Qingqian held the cold cup with both hands and looked at her. ¡°Suisui, I want to ask you to do me a favor, but it might cause you some trouble.¡± Yan Sui said indifferently, ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for so many years. What¡¯s the matter? Just say it.¡± ¡°I know you know some people who have connections. There are people who can make fake IDs¡­ The kind that allows one to even take a train or a ne.¡± Yan Sui¡¯s eyes widened in surprise. ¡°You n to flee the marriage?¡± Chapter 18 Have You Ever Had a Cat? ¡°Shh!¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly speechless at her loud voice. Was she afraid that others could not hear her? Yan Sui covered her mouth btedly and looked around the cafe. It was still early and there were no customers. ¡°Qianqian, you intend to run away from the marriage?!¡± She stretched her neck closer to Lin Qingqian and lowered her voice like a spy exchanging information. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Jiang Yanshen is unwilling to sign the divorce papers, and no one in Lan City dares to take on my divorce case. After thinking about it, I can only live separately for two years first. At that time, I can apply for a divorce. Jiang Yanshen can¡¯t possibly bribe the judge too.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not know her well, but she knew him very well. Since he did not agree to the divorce, he would definitely stop her from escaping the marriage at all costs. Therefore, it was impossible for her to sessfully get a divorce if she stayed in Lan City. The only way was to leave Lan City and go to a ce where Jiang Yanshen could not find her. ¡°Then where do you n to go? Back to Yushan?¡± Yan Sui asked, her round face filled with worry. ¡°If you go back to Yushan, Jiang Yanshen will definitely chase after you.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t return to Yushan. When Jiang Yanshen finds out that I¡¯ve run away, he¡¯ll send someone to Yushan immediately.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at the iced coffee in her hand. The smooth liquid reflected the calm and firm light in her eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t implicate Little Aunt. It¡¯s best if even you don¡¯t know where I¡¯m going, so you must help me buy a domestic ne ticket. The further the better.¡± It was too troublesome to go overseas. She did not have a passport. Yan Sui could not help but tilt her head. ¡°Why don¡¯t I understand?¡± Once I run away, Jiang Yanshen will definitely investigate you. You won¡¯t be able to hide the fact that you helped me find someone to make a fake identity card. He will ask Lu Yuan to track down the ne ticket that was bought with the fake identity card. Then, I will take this opportunity to leave Lan City.¡± Lin Qingqian patiently exined to her that the so-called fake identity card was just a cover to divert Jiang Yanshen¡¯s attention and buy herself time. Yan Sui finally understood and couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. ¡°Brilliant! Qianqian, why didn¡¯t I realize that you had the potential to be a criminal investigator in the past!¡± Lin Qingqian calcted the feasibility of this matter in her heart and was not in the mood to argue with her. ¡°After I leave, Jiang Yanshen might find trouble with you.¡± ¡°If he wants to find me, so be it!¡± Yan Sui said indifferently. ¡°Unless he kills me, I can still go home to retire. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart surged with warmth. Even if she could not find sess in love, she still had a good friend like Suisui and her little aunt¡­ Yan Sui looked at her vibrating phone and finished her coffee in one gulp. ¡°I¡¯m in a hurry to go to work. Wait for my news.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± She had just nodded when Yan Sui ran towards the door of the cafe impatiently. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze followed her back. The golden sunlight shone on her body, like a sunflower blooming into the sun, full of vitality. If she hadn¡¯t fallen in love with Jiang Yanshen, let alone married him, would she be living an ordinary life too now? Every day, she only needed to think about designing and work. She would go out to eat and sing with her friends after work and not be¡­ living like a cripple. Fortunately, she was still young. It was not toote to start now¡­ ... Lin Qingqian did not return to the hotel. Instead, she returned to her apartment. Jiang Yanshen found out about this but did not say anything. Lu Yuan chose a few wedding venues, all of which were resort hotels under Tianyue Corporation. Jiang Yanshen asked him to send the details to the apartment for Lin Qingqian to choose. Lin Qingqian did not even look at it and said indifferently, ¡°I won¡¯t hold a wedding with him. Let him save it for the next Mrs. Jiang.¡± How would Lu Yuan dare to ry these words back? He only tactfully expressed that Mrs Jiang had not chosen a venue yet. Even if he didn¡¯t say anything, Jiang Yanshen knew that Lin Qingqian definitely didn¡¯t say anything good. She either called him a dog of a man or told him to die. What else didn¡¯t she dare to say? Jiang Yanshen picked up a good-looking pen from the pen holder and made a tick on the ¡°Lakeside Yin Resort Hotel¡±. After putting down the pen, he suddenly looked up and asked Lu Yuan, ¡°Have you ever had a cat?¡± Chapter 19 The Man Was Already Kneeling Down in Front of Her. ¡°I¡¯ll Do It.¡± Lu Yuan was stunned, not understanding why he suddenly mentioned cats. He thought for a moment and replied, ¡°I think I raised one when I was young.¡± ¡°Was your cat very docile? Then all of a sudden, it bes irritable one day and keeps thinking of running out?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked again. ¡°No, the cat I raised was very fierce and likes to scratch me. It would only run around when it¡¯s in heat. It would go outside to look for the little male cat¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Yanshen red at him coldly. Lu Yuan immediately fell silent. He suddenly realized that Director Jiang didn¡¯t seem to be talking about cats, but¡­ ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yuan picked up the hotel¡¯s information and turned to walk out. Just as he reached the door, a cold voice came from behind. ¡°Deduct two months of bonus and this year¡¯s annual leave.¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s vision darkened. He staggered a few steps and almost hit his head on the door. It was fine if the money was deducted, but he even deducted his annual leave. Evil boss! ve driver! Inhumane!! Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and his gazended on the drawer that was not closed tightly. There was an open velvet box and a silver ring lying quietly. Divorce? He would not get a divorce. And there was no way that Lin Qingqian would fall in love with a man other than himself. Perhaps everything would get better after the wedding. ... When Li Ruzhu found out that Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were holding a wedding, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the room. Madam Jiang was also angry, but she could not influence Jiang Yanshen¡¯s decision at all. She could only spend money to buy several branded bags for Li Ruzhu before she could coax her. The wedding preparations proceeded in an orderly manner. Even though Lin Qingqian did not even cooperate to try on the wedding dress, Jiang Yanshen made all the decisions for her. A weekter. In the evening, Lu Yuan drove over to pick up Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yanshen was attending the birthday banquet of a senior in the business world and needed a femalepanion. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa without moving, but she frowned. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have a secretary?¡± Usually, the secretarial department would specially send someone to apany him to business banquets. Lu Yuan stood straight and said respectfully, ¡°Madam, this is Director Jiang¡¯s will. Please don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± There was no longer any annual leave. He did not want next year¡¯s annual leave to be ruined too! Lin Qingqian understood Jiang Yanshen¡¯s temper. If she did not go, Lu Yuan would definitely not be the only one who would suffer. She got up and went back to her room to change into a ck off-shoulder gown. Her long hair was loose and curled into big waves with a curling iron. She put on light makeup. When she walked out of the room, she did not see Lu Yuan, but Jiang Yanshen. He was wearing a ck suit that wrapped around his slender and tall figure. Standing there, he looked like a handsome gentleman. His pair of dark and cold eyes were stunned the moment he saw the door open. In the past, Lin Qingqian had always dressed simply and elegantly. She did not wear any makeup and had long ck hair. She looked clean but was not eye-catching. At this moment, she was wearing a gown and makeup. Her fiery lips were red and her hair was wavy. Even her aura had changed. She was very beautiful. Lin Qingqian did not expect him toe. Her expression was a little unnatural. She lowered her head and pretended to tidy her dress, then secretly looked at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°You, why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanposed himself and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. His calm voice was no different from usual. ¡°I came to pick you up.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Then should we leave now?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and paused. His gazended on her feet. ¡°Shoes.¡± Lin Qingqian reacted and walked to the shoe cab at the entrance. She took out a pair of red high heels that matched the color of her lipstick. When she was about to bend down to change her shoes, the man was already kneeling down in front of her. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Chapter 20 Lin Qingqian¡¯s Identity Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing froze. She looked down at his well-defined fingers holding her feet. The faint warmth on his fingertips seemed to be seeping into her skin and flowing into her blood. Actually, this was not the first time Jiang Yanshen had put on shoes for her. She still remembered that when she was in her third year of university, she had walked for an entire day and her feet were covered in blisters. She took the opportunity to call Jiang Yanshen and pestered him to pick her up. After her ssmates had left, she waited alone at the school gate for a long, long time, thinking that he would note. Just as she was about to cry, Jiang Yanshen got out of the car and stared at her feet. He said that she deserved it. With that, he squatted down in front of her and helped her take off her sneakers. He threw them into the trash can and carried her into the car. The grievance in her heart instantly dissipated with his actions. It turned out that they had some good memories between them. At some point, these warm memories that she thought could support her to apany him for the rest of her life were all forgotten. Jiang Yanshen put on her shoes for her and stood up to extend his arm in front of her. He raised his eyebrows and gestured. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on his arm. After a moment of silence, her porcin-white fingers still held his arm and they went out together. Lu Yuan was waiting downstairs. When he saw theming down, his eyes were filled with amazement. If not for the small mole at the corner of Lin Qingqian¡¯s eye, Lu Yuan would have suspected that someone who looked like Lin Qingqian was standing with Director Jiang. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment and even forgot to open the car door for them. Jiang Yanshen frowned unhappily and shot a warning look over¡ª Lu Yuan felt a chill on the back of his neck before he reacted and hurriedly helped them open the car door. Lin Qingqian lifted her skirt and sat in the car, leaning closely against the door, putting arge distance between her and Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen got into the car and nced at her indifferently before instructing the driver to drive. The birthday banquet was held in a very private club. Those who could appear at such an asion were either from famous families or elites of society. There were also some socialites from wealthy families who took this opportunity to get to know people of the opposite sex of the same age and status to n their future marriage. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen entered the venue together. Most of the guests had already arrived and they instantly attracted some gazes. One was for her beauty and temperament, and the other was because she was standing beside Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen kept a low profile and rarely participated in public events. Even if he wanted to attend a banquet, his femalepanion was a secretary arranged by thepany. He had never brought a strange woman to such an asion. For a moment, everyone secretly guessed Lin Qingqian¡¯s identity. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome facial features were indifferent. He was already used to those gazes, but Lin Qingqian was not used to it. It was not that she was having stage fright, but because this was the first time she had appeared in front of everyone with Jiang Yanshen, she could not help but feel nervous and uneasy. On second thought, since they didn¡¯t know her anyway, she would just treat them as monkeys who hadn¡¯t seen the world in the zoo. Thinking of this, she wasn¡¯t so nervous. ¡°Ah Yan, you¡¯re here again.¡± Lu Qinshang held his wine ss and walked over with Gu Xici. His face was filled with mockery. When he saw Lin Qingqian beside him, he was stunned and said uncertainly, ¡°Lin Qingqian?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and nodded out of social etiquette. ¡°Hello, Mr. Gu.¡± Gu Xici was not as surprised as Lu Qinshang. He smiled faintly and praised sincerely, ¡°You look very beautiful tonight.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Thank you.¡± Lu Qinshang turned to look at Gu Xici. ¡°Ah Ci, am I seeing things? The person standing in front of me is really Lin Qingqian that bun¡­¡± Chapter 21 This Is My Wife, Lin Qingqian Before he could continue speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes swiveled over like ice des, and his thin lips moved. ¡°I heard that President Lu has arranged 30 socialites and blind dates for you. It must have been hard on you to still have the time toe out and socialize.¡± Lu Qinshang immediately looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡­ why do you have to bring this up.¡± Lu Qinshang left the gold mine at home and insisted on entering the entertainment industry to be a celebrity. His old man could not dissuade him, and he did not think well of the female celebrities in the entertainment industry, so he simply arranged for more than half of the socialites in Lan City to go on blind dates with him. The old man even said, ¡°As long as Lu Qinshang gets married and gives birth to an heir, he can do whatever he wants!¡± This was the biggest joke and topic of conversation in upper-ss society recently. Lu Qinshang felt that he was just a tool to carry on the family line for the old man. He had lost his love and was feeling mncholic. It was not easy for him toe out to rx, but he was stabbed deeply by Jiang Yanshen. How could he not be angry! Jiang Yanshen ignored him and lowered his head to say to Lin Qingqian, ¡°Lu Qinshang, Gu Xici, you know them all. There¡¯s no need to be polite with them. You can call him Little Six.¡± Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes in anger. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t push your luck.¡± He was just joking when he called her a bun. Was there a need to expose his dark history? Although Lin Qingqian knew them, she was not familiar with them. She knew that Lu Qinshang did not like her, but she did not know why he was called Little Six. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have seen through her doubts and exined, ¡°His surname is Lu.¡± Lin Qingqian immediately understood. When she looked at Lu Qinshang, her clear eyes were filled withughter and mockery, as if she was saying, ¡°To think that you would have such a day!¡± Lu Qinshang snorted unhappily. ¡°I¡¯ll go get some wine.¡± He turned around and walked towards the reception area. Gu Xici nced at Lu Qinshang¡¯s back and then looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Bring Qingqian to greet Chairman Liang first. I¡¯ll go andfort Little Six.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. Before Gu Xici turned around, he nodded at Lin Qingqian politely. Lin Qingqian smiled in response. For some reason, she felt that Gu Xici was different from Lu Qinshang. He didn¡¯t seem to hate her that much. He did not have the banditry and roughness of a criminal police officer. After all, he was the young master of an aristocratic family. His self-restraint came from his bones. Jiang Yanshen brought Lin Qingqian to greet the host of tonight. The other party was an old senior in the business world. When Jiang Yanshen first took over the Tianyue Corporation, the other party had even guided him, so Jiang Yanshen had always respected him. ¡°Qianqian, this is Chairman Liang, and this is Madam Liang.¡± Jiang Yanshen introduced them concisely. ¡°This is my wife, Lin Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian did not expect him to introduce her so formally. After being stunned for a second, she greeted politely, ¡°Hello, Chairman Liang and Madam Liang.¡± Chairman Liang was celebrating his 70th birthday tonight. Although his face was filled with wrinkles and age spots, his amiable gaze when he looked at Lin Qingqian was filled with the love and care of an elder for a junior. ¡°Previously, when I heard you say that you were married, I thought you were lying to me. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true. To think that I wanted to introduce thatss to you.¡± Madam Liang red at him with a smile. ¡°Dream on. How old is our girl? She¡¯s willful and doesn¡¯t know the rules. How can she be worthy of Yanshen? I think this girl is a good match.¡± Jiang Yanshen was rarely humble. ¡°Madam, you tter me. Miss Liang is young and cute. Naturally, she wouldn¡¯t fancy an uncle like me.¡± Chairman Liang and Madam Liangughed. Madam Liang: ¡°How are you an uncle when you¡¯re not even 30? Nonsense!¡± She paused and looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°From your ent, you don¡¯t sound like a native of Lan City.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯m from Yushan. I only came to Lan City at the age of 18.¡± A trace of joy appeared in Madam Liang¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m also from Yushan. Unfortunately, I haven¡¯t been back there in a long time. Have you gone back in the past few years? Is everything alright there?¡± ¡°I went back oncest year, and everything was fine,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly, confusion appearing in his eyes. Did she return to Yushanst year? Why didn¡¯t he know? Chapter 22 There Are So Many People Who Hate Me, Who Do You Think You Are? ¡°I haven¡¯t been back for many years. I can¡¯t even remember what my hometown looks like.¡± At the mention of her hometown, Madam Liang¡¯s eyes were filled with nostalgia. Lin Qingqian felt that she was an amiable old woman and did not want to see her sad. She said kindly, ¡°I took some photos when I went back previously. Madam, do you want to take a look?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Madam Liang¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard that there were photos of her hometown. She paused and said to Chairman Liang, ¡°You men won¡¯t be interested in these things. Let¡¯s talk over there. Director Jiang doesn¡¯t mind letting thisss chat with me for a while, right?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at Lin Qingqian and said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Lin Qingqian let go of his arm and went forward to hold Mrs. Liang¡¯s arm. She followed her to the resting area set up outside to look at the photos. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze followed her figure until her back disappeared at the door. Chairman Liang teased, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be a man of romance.¡± Jiang Yan narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He did not exin. She probably did not want to apany him to this banquet, but she still dressed up and attended. She even behaved very cooperatively with Madam Liang. Her attitude waspletely different from before. It was intriguing. Chairman Liang treated his silence as the antics of a young man being embarrassed. He said as someone who had been through the same thing before, ¡°I¡¯m considered someone who has one foot in the coffin. I¡¯ve seen all kinds of people in my life, but it¡¯s rare to meet someone like this girl with such pure and tenacious eyes. For this kind of girl to follow you, you have to treat her well.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, ¡°Chairman Liang, there¡¯s something I might have to trouble you with¡­¡± ¡­ . Lin Qingqian apanied Madam Liang to look at the photos for a while and talked about the changes in Yushan. Madam Liang¡¯s eyes turned red when she heard this. She was happy to know that her hometown was developing well. After looking at the photos, Mrs. Liang took the initiative to exchange WeChat numbers with her. She asked Lin Qingqian to send her more photos if she went back to Yushan in the future. Lin Qingqian agreed immediately and stood up to send her back to the hall. Then, she went to the washroom. As soon as she came out of the washroom, she bumped into Lu Qinshang, who hade out of the men¡¯s washroom opposite. When Lu Qinshang saw her, he snorted. ¡°Why do I bump into you everywhere I go? How unlucky!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be unlucky, Superstar Lu can stay at home and note out,¡± Lin Qingqian replied with a smile. Before Lu Qinshang could speak, she said, ¡°I forgot that you have to meet 30 socialites. It¡¯s a little difficult for you to stay at home.¡± ¡°You!!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s face turned as ck as the bottom of a pot. Lin Qingqian washed her hands and slowly wiped them. She looked at the man¡¯s angry facial features and her smile became even brighter. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know why Mr. Lu hates me so much, I can¡¯t help but say one more thing¡ª There are so many people who hate me. Who do you think you are?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the tissue was thrown into the wastebasket. She walked elegantly past the furious Lu Qinshang in her high heels. When Gu Xici came out of the washroom, Lu Qinshang gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I saw it clearly. Lin Qingqian is not a bun at all. What gentleness, respect, innocence, and harmlessness? She was simply pretending and lying to Ah Yan!!¡± ¡°Since you know that she¡¯s not a bun, why did you still provoke her? Should I praise your courage or scold you for being cheap?¡± Gu Xici said slowly as he washed his hands. Lu Qinshang turned his head and said, ¡°Is that the main point? The main point is that she lied to Ah Yan!!!¡± ¡°How do you know that Ah Yan doesn¡¯t like the current Lin Qingqian?¡± Chapter 23 This Was His Final Goal Tonight When Lin Qingqian returned to the banquet hall, Madam Liang happened to be apanying Chairman Liang on stage to give a speech and thank everyone foring to his birthday banquet. After some pleasantries, he officially announced his retirement and handed thepany over to his son and daughter-inw to manage. In the future, he would only apany his wife shopping. The news of Chairman Liang¡¯s retirement had spread for a long time, and most of the people present knew about it, so they were not surprised. Instead, the surprising part was when they mentioned Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian and even invited them to go on stage. Lin Qingqian was slightly surprised for a moment before holding Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm and ascending the stage in front of everyone. Chairman Liang very enthusiastically gave up the microphone and let the two young people stand in the middle while he held his wife¡¯s hand and went down. Jiang Yanshen looked around with his calm eyes. His thin lips moved, and his low and slow voice spread throughout the banquet hall like the sound of a cello¡ª ¡°Today, taking advantage of Chairman Liang¡¯s birthday banquet, I¡¯ll officially introduce someone to everyone. The person standing beside me is my wife, Lin Qingqian. We¡¯ll be holding our wedding next month.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. Only Chairman Liang and Madam Liang revealed approving gazes. Lu Qinshang, who had just returned from the washroom, heard Jiang Yanshen announce the wedding when he entered. He was so surprised that he almost bit his tongue off. He elbowed Gu Xici. ¡°Did I hear wrongly? Ah Yan wants to hold a wedding with Lin Qingqian?¡± Without batting an eyelid, he took a step to the side and pulled away before answering, ¡°You didn¡¯t hear wrongly.¡± Lu Qinshang thought of Gu Xici¡¯s words just now and looked at Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian standing on the stage. His mind was filled with only one word¡ªf*ck! Lin Qingqian¡¯s originally still eyshes suddenly trembled when he finished speaking. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her in disbelief¡­ For a moment, everything in the world seemed to have frozen and silently disappeared into the darkness. Only a beam of lightnded on the man¡¯s handsome side profile. So this was his final goal tonight. ¡­ . In thetter half of the banquet, Lin Qingqian almost did not speak, nor did she care about Lu Qinshang¡¯s gaze that seemed to be asking, ¡°What kind of poison did you feed to Ah Yan?¡± On the way back, she was still sitting by the car window. She turned her head to look at the scenery that kept retreating outside the window. Gradually, as if she had been blinded by something, her long eyshes slowly lowered. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze moved from her fair cheek to her exquisite earlobe, then to her beautiful swan neck, and finally to her porcin-white hand on the ck dress. His fingertips moved a few times, but in the end, he did not hold her hand. The car slowly stopped. Lin Qingqian did not wait for the driver to open the door and got out directly. She walked into the building quickly, as if there was something chasing after her. ¡°Qianqian!¡± Jiang Yanshen called out to her. Lin Qingqian suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her thin and slender figure stood especially straight in the night, like a red plum blossom blooming in winter, fragrant and proud. Jiang Yanshen got out of the car. ¡°Are you upset?¡± Lin Qingqian turned around to look at him. Her clear eyes were even colder than the moonlight. ¡°Why should I be happy?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. Before he could say anything, he heard her mocking voice. ¡°Now, everyone in Lan City knows that I¡¯m your wife. There will be a wedding next month. You¡¯ve fulfilled your wish and made me unable to mention the word divorce.¡± His drastic measures had really forced her into a corner. Jiang Yanshen was silent, also tacitly agreeing. He was indeed using such a method to force her to give up on the idea of a divorce. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯ve always been like this. You¡¯re self-centered and never care about the feelings of the people around you.¡± Chapter 24 Take Off Your Coat A crescent moon hung quietly in the sky. The bright moonlight enveloped the entire city. A cold wind blew past, blowing up her long ck hair. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and did not say anything. He just watched as her slender figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. Wasn¡¯t this what she wanted? Lin Qingqian went upstairs to open the door and kicked away her high heels. She walked all the way into the washroom and turned on the tap to ssh cold water on her face, trying her best to calm down. She raised her head and took a deep breath. She looked at the face covered in water droplets in the mirror. She could not suppress the anger in her eyes. Her red lips pursed slightly and she could not help but curse, ¡°Dog of a man.¡± ¡ª¡ªOn the hill there are trees and in my heart, you¡¯re shining like a star. Our hearts are one even when we¡¯re apart. A ringtone came from the living room. She turned around and walked to the dining table. She picked up her handbag and took out her phone. When she saw that it was a call from Suisui, her long eyshes trembled slightly. She took a few breaths and picked up the call. Her voice was calm. ¡°Hello, Suisui¡­¡± After a moment of silence, she said indifferently, ¡°I understand. Thank you, Suisui.¡± After ending the call, she turned her head to look at the moonlight outside the window. It was as hazy as her path ahead. It was shrouded in fog, and she could not see the road beyond. After a while, her gazended on her phone. This was an old phone she used in the past. The ringtone and name had not been changed. Thinking of what Jiang Yanshen had done, she changed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s name to Dog Man without hesitation and changed the ringtone to ¡°schnappi¡±. When the music of the song sounded, it happened to ring with a happy tone and the childish voice of a boy¡ª You were originally an idiot, but you pretended to be cool. It was you, an idiot, an idiot, an idiot, an idiot. ¡­ . The next day, Lin Qingqian had just finished breakfast when the doorbell rang. She stood up to open the door. Lu Yuan stood at the door with a sincere and respectful expression. ¡°Good morning, Madam.¡± Lin Qingqian did not invite him in. She left the door open and turned back to the dining table to continue drinking her soy milk. Lu Yuan hesitated at the door for a moment before walking in. ¡°Madam, this is an invitation designed by the weddingpany. Director Jiang asked me to send it over and asked you to invite all the friends you want.¡± Lin Qingqian put down her cup and looked up with a faint smile. ¡°Director Jiang is a busy man and probably doesn¡¯t remember. Does he not know that I don¡¯t have any friends in Lan City other than Suisui?¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s expression froze for a few seconds before returning to normal. ¡°Director Jiang said to invite some university and high school ssmates. If there¡¯s a need to travel and stay, I can arrange it.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected decisively. ¡°Take it back.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Lu Yuan did not know what had happened to her recently. She had suddenly be a different person and was no longer as easy to talk to as before. He did not dare to provoke her easily and obediently returned to report. He¡¯d only taken two steps when a clear voice behind him said, ¡°Wait.¡± Head Steward Lu Yuan stopped and turned around. ¡°What instructions does Madam have?¡± ¡°Do you know how to fix a faucet?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°Ah?¡± Lu Yuan was stunned. Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°No? Then I¡¯ll get someone to fix it.¡± Lu Yuan finally reacted. ¡°I do, I do!¡± If a repairman came knocking on the door and those rough men had any ill intentions, and anything happened to the Madam, even a thousand lives would not be enough for Director Jiang to kill him. ¡°The faucet in the bathroom is broken. The toolbox is beside the bathtub. Sorry to trouble you.¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and brought him to the bathroom. Lu Yuan followed behind and replied, ¡°No trouble, no trouble.¡± The bathroom floor was wet and a mess. The faucet was still dripping¡­ Just as Lu Yuan was about to go over to fix it, Lin Qingqian suddenly said, ¡°Take off your jacket. I¡¯ll put it outside to prevent it from getting dirtyter. Otherwise, you still have to go back and change.¡± Chapter 25 This Is Her Only Chance Lu Yuan looked at the dripping tap and then at his new suit. ¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± As expected, the Madam only had a bad attitude towards President Jiang and Madam Jiang. She was still good to him. He took off his suit and handed it to Lin Qingqian. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the toolbox, looking like he was going to fight. Lin Qingqian took his coat and turned to walk towards the living room. She turned around and looked at Lu Yuan. He was focused on being a repairman and did not look over at all. Her porcin-white fingers touched the inside pocket of her suit jacket. When she felt something hard, her red lips could not help but curl. As expected, Lu Yuan¡¯s habit of putting his phone in the inner pocket of his suit had not changed. Then his password shouldn¡¯t have been changed either. Lin Qingqian walked to the living room and ced his suit on the sofa. As she skillfully unlocked it, she observed the movements in the bathroom. Although Lu Yuan looked like an elite man on the surface, he was actually no different from those technical otakus. He liked beautiful youngdies from talent shows. Previously, he was especially obsessed with a youngdy and spent hundreds of thousands on votes to send her to her debut. Lin Qingqian knew this because in order to know Jiang Yanshen¡¯s schedule, she had specially gone to support the youngdy from the talent show and even brought him her autographed photo. At that time, Lu Yuan unlocked his phone in front of her. He said proudly that his password was the day the youngdy debuted. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s itinerary was usually arranged in advance by the secretarial department. A few secretaries would have a printed copy each. As a special assistant, Lu Yuan naturally had an electronic backup on his phone¡­ Her porcin-white slender fingers quickly swiped through the information on the page and found Jiang Yanshen¡¯stest itinerary. She used her phone to take a photo and saved it in the photo album. When Lu Yuan came out of the bathroom, Lin Qingqian had already cleaned up the kitchen and handed him a ss of water. ¡°Is it fixed?¡± ¡°Thank you, Madam.¡± Lu Yuan took a sip of water with sweat on his forehead. ¡°It¡¯s fixed, Madam.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded slightly. ¡°Thank you.¡± Fixer Lu Yuan smiled foolishly. ¡°You¡¯re too polite. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back and get busy.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Lu Yuan walked to the sofa, picked up his coat, and left. Lin Qingqian sent him to the door and quickly locked it after closing it. The smile on her face instantly disappeared. She turned around and walked to the living room to pick up her phone. She tapped on the photo and zoomed in¡­ Jiang Yanshen would be in Lan City these few days, but he would go to the capital to attend a business meeting next week. This was her only chance. ¡­ . A weekter. Lin Qingqian first let Suisui use her fake identity card to buy a ne ticket to Lhasa. Then, she used her old phone number to call for a ride to Luzhou. After that, she went online and found a ride-sharing group from the same city. There were some drivers with schedules to bring a few people to the nearby provinces. For the sake of convenience, she only carried a ck backpack and pretended to be a backpacker. Before she left, she called her aunt and told her that she was fine and not to worry. On the phone, her aunt was in a hurry to fish with the people from the same vige. She hung up without saying much to her. Lin Qingqian went downstairs and saw that the hitch ride to Luzhou was already waiting. She got into the car and asked him to send her to the entrance of the university. She would stop at a ce without cameras and give him twice the fare to continue driving to Luzhou. After passing through the campus, she came upon the back alley of the school. There was a new road that had yet to be paved. There were very few carsing and going. There were no probes or cameras. Lin Qingqian got into a white six-seater SUV that came to pick her up. A couple sat in the first row. She got into the car and sat in thest row. The car slowly started and moved towards the morning sun, as if it wanted to bring her to a brand new andpletely different life¡­ Chapter 26 ¡°Director Jiang, You Can¡¯t Turn Around on the Expressway!¡± A ck Cayenne raced along the highway. The man sitting in the back was wearing a ck high-end suit. It was ironed without a single wrinkle that wrapped around his muscr figure. He had Bluetooth earphones hanging from his ears, and his low and mellow voice wasmunicating in a pure British ent. Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to look at him after answering the call. Jiang Yanshen saw from the corner of his eye that Lu Yuan seemed like there was something he wanted to say but hesitated to. He ended the call. Lu Yuan: ¡°We¡¯ve already picked him up. He¡¯ll be here in the afternoon.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he said, ¡°Help me connect a video call to Lin Qingqian.¡± Lu Yuan immediately called Lin Qingqian when he heard this. The cold mechanical voice reminded him that the other party¡¯s number was not in service. ¡°Director Jiang, I can¡¯t get through to Madam.¡± Jiang Yan suddenly frowned. He raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist. It was already ten in the morning. She should be up at this time. His well-defined fingers took out his phone and dialed her number. It was still a cold system message¡ªthe user you¡¯re calling is not in the service area. Please call againter. Seeing that the atmosphere in the car was getting colder and colder, Lu Yuan swallowed his saliva and said carefully, ¡°Perhaps Madam is busy and didn¡¯t look at her phone.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He picked up the call and his expression darkened. His deep eyes were like an abyss where cold wind kept blowing out. His thin lips squeezed out two words. ¡°Turn around.¡± The driver and Lu Yuan were stunned. Lu Yuan was facing huge pressure and braced himself to say, ¡°Director Jiang, we can¡¯t turn around on the highway!!¡± Jiang Yan¡¯s cold and sharp gaze shot at him like a de, as if he wanted to execute him. Lu Yuan looked at the driver for help and asked him to think of something!! The driver felt a chill run up his spine. His sharp eyes noticed that there was a toll station in front of him and he hurriedly said, ¡°Director Jiang, there¡¯s a toll station in front. We can get off the highway from there. I know of another way back to Lan City.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He picked up his phone and made a call. His voice was tense and filled with uncontroble anger. ¡°Help me find someone.¡± On the other end of the line, Gu Xici was listening to his subordinate report on the cases that had recently been transferred to him. He said angrily, ¡°I¡¯m a criminal police officer, not a detective.¡± ¡°¡ªLin Qingqian!¡± Jiang Yanshen squeezed out these three words coldly. Gu Xici was silent for a moment before answering, ¡°Got it.¡± After hanging up, he heard Lu Yuan¡¯s surprised voice. ¡°Madam is missing? How can that be?¡± ¡°She was fine when I sent the invitation earlier. I was even fixing the faucet for her!¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s face was filled with confusion. ¡°Could it be that the faucet is broken again? Did she call a repairman?¡± So something had happened? When Jiang Yanshen heard his words, his ck eyes narrowed. ¡°You helped her fix the faucet?¡± Lu Yuan nodded. He was originally worried that he would not be able to find an opportunity to take credit, but he had to seize this opportunity. ¡°I went to send the invitation. Coincidentally, the faucet in Madam¡¯s bathroom was broken. Madam asked me if I knew how to fix it. Of course I said I did. I even fixed it for her.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned even more. ¡°What did she say when she asked you to fix the faucet?¡± Lu Yuan shook his head. ¡°No, Madam just poured me a ss of water. I left after drinking it.¡± Could it be that he was not allowed to even drink a ss of water? ¡°Just treated you to a ss of water?¡± A glint floated in the corners of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slender eyes. ¡°Nothing else happened?¡± Lu Yuan recalled what happened that day carefully. ¡°There really wasn¡¯t anything. Madam was still worried that I would dirty the suit. She helped me bring my suit to the living room.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± A coldugh squeezed out of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat, making Lu Yuan tremble in fear. Chapter 27 Jiang City He had just left Lan City and she¡¯d immediately be uncontactable. She must have known that he was leaving Lan City today. This was the best time for her to escape from Lan City. Lu Yuan could not think of it, but how could someone as smart as Jiang Yanshen not think of the connection? The driver raced all the way back to the station. It was already noon when they arrived. Most of the officers had gone to the canteen for lunch. Gu Xici came out to pick him up. As he walked, he said, ¡°The person you sent to keep an eye on her was stopped outside the library. She took the other exit from the library to the back door of the school. There are no eyes there.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was as cold as ice. ¡°So?¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t answer him. Instead, he continued, ¡°Your guys found out that she once asked a friend to get a fake ID for her and she booked a ne ticket to Lhasa using that.¡± He walked into the office and pointed to the word Lhasa on the map on the ckboard. Jiang Yanshen stopped in front of the map. His ck eyes flickered, and his voice was cold and firm. ¡°It¡¯s fake.¡± Gu Xici raised his eyebrows in surprise. ¡°How do you know?¡± ¡°Her altitude sickness is very serious. She just wanted to escape the marriage, notmit suicide.¡± The reason why Jiang Yanshen was so sure that Lin Qingqian would not go to Lhasa was because she had gone to Lhasa on a graduation trip the year she graduated from university. As soon as she got off the ne, she vomited all over the ce. When she arrived at the hotel, she began to have a fever which remained high for three days. If not for the fact that she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and called him to pick her up, she would probably have died. Gu Xiqiao nodded thoughtfully. ¡°I also found out that she once used her phone software to get a hitch ride from Luzhou. Do you need me to contact the brothers over there?¡± Lan City was the provincial capital. The small cities below would more or less give him face. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips into a straight line. He stared at the map with a cold gaze and did not speak for a long time. This girl usually looked pure and harmless, but it turned out that she was hiding such a meticulous mind. He almost suspected that Lin Qingqian had used her entire life¡¯s worth of intelligence to y such a childish game of cat and mouse with him. Lu Yuan stood at the side and swallowed silently. He asked carefully, ¡°Could Madam have returned to Yushan?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him from the corner of his eye. Lu Yuan immediately fell silent. Gu Xici lit a cigarette and took a puff casually. He said with a faint smile, ¡°If she really wanted to escape from the marriage, why would she return to her hometown?¡± Lu Yuan knew that he had said something stupid. He gritted his teeth and stopped talking. At this moment, it was better not to speak. ¡°The most dangerous ce is the safest ce,¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly said, attracting their attention. Gu Xici walked to his side and pointed at the ce beside Lan City with his slender fingers. ¡°This is¡ª¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips said coldly, ¡°Jiang City!¡± Jiang City was only a 2-hour drive from Lan City. Although its economic development was not as good as Lan City, it was still a second-tier city. As Lan City¡¯s economic development became saturated, more and more businesses and people went to Jiang City to develop. ¡°There are so many cities near Lan City. How can you be sure that she went to Jiang City?¡± Gu Xici asked curiously. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp gazended on the words ¡°Jiang City¡±, and the corners of his mouth curled up in mockery. ¡°She likes fashion design so much, so she won¡¯t go to ces that aren¡¯t developed. Moreover¡­¡± He stopped abruptly and did not continue. Gu Xici raised an eyebrow. ¡°Moreover what?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him and did not answer. He said in a cold voice, ¡°She¡¯s meticulous and created two smoke grenades to confuse me. She probably won¡¯t use a ride-hailing tform but some offline carpooling!¡± After a pause, something shed through his mind. He looked at Gu Xici and said, ¡°There¡¯s nothing at the back of the school. Usually, no cars will go over. You can check the license te number of the car that went that way today.¡± Gu Xiciughed. ¡°Have you forgotten what I did? I¡¯ve already gotten someone to check the surveince footage.¡± After a pause, he said as if he would die if he didn¡¯t mock him, ¡°But the two of you are ying cat and mouse well. Do you want to considering to our criminal investigation team to help solve cases or something?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes, restrained all the emotions in his eyes, and turned to leave. Lu Yuan followed behind him silently. Gu Xici sent him to the door and looked at his back. ¡°She should be in Jiang City by now. Even if you rush over, it¡¯ll be like looking for a needle in a haystack.¡± Jiang Yanshen walked out as if he hadn¡¯t heard anything. He didn¡¯t stop for a second or even make a sound. Lu Yuan jogged to the car and opened the door for him. Before Jiang Yanshen got into the car, he said¡­ Chapter 28 She Blushed, ¡°I Wish I Could, But You¡¯re Here...¡± ¡°Go to Ennd and stay there. Don¡¯te back without my permission!¡± Ennd? Lu Yuan¡¯s chrysanthemums tightened. He felt that the entire world had darkened. He wished he could hug Director Jiang¡¯s thigh and say, ¡°Send me to Africa to mine! I can even mine coal in the mountains!¡± As long as it was not that damned ce filled with gays! Unfortunately, Jiang Yanshen instructed the driver to start the car the moment he got in. He did not even give him a nce! ¡­ . There was a long queue 500 meters away from Jiang City¡¯s toll station. There was an ident involving a chain collision of five cars, and the roads in both directions were blocked. The sirens of police cars and ambnces kept ringing out. Lin Qingqian had been stuck here for almost two hours. The young couple in front had lost their patience and kept asking the driver when he could leave. The driver standing at the door held a cigarette in his mouth and said helplessly, ¡°I don¡¯t know either. Given the scale of the ident, how can the road be cleared so fast! Let¡¯s wait a little longer!¡± The young coupleined again. She did not know when she could leave, but it was toote to enter the city for lunch. Lin Qingqian took out a packet of milk and some bread from her backpack to fill her stomach. The young couple in front had finished all the fruits they had brought and were a little hungry. The boy turned around and asked, ¡°Um, do you have any more bread? We¡¯ll buy it from you!¡± Lin Qingqian took out the remaining bread and milk and distributed it to them. ¡°There¡¯s only one packet of milk and two pieces of bread.¡± The boy wanted to pay, but Lin Qingqian stopped him. The girl said in a sweet voice, ¡°Thank you! Sister, are you going to Jiang City to y?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded indifferently. The girl wanted to say something, but the boy saw that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t really want to speak, so he stuffed the bread into the girl¡¯s mouth. ¡°Eat quickly. Didn¡¯t you say that you were hungry¡­¡± The girl red at him coquettishly as she ate the bread and drank the milk that was handed to her. Lin Qingqian finished eating first and put the trash into the bag. She picked up her phone and looked at the time. It was almost one o¡¯clock. She had discarded her SIM card before she got into the car and reced it with an anonymous SIM card. Other than calling and texting, she could do nothing else. Then, she put down her phone and turned to look out the window. Perhaps because she was too tense and tired, she fell asleep unknowingly. She had a dream. In her dream, she¡¯d returned to the year when she was in her third year of university. She had just returned from Jiang City and was talking excitedly in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s office about the local customs of Jiang City. Jiang Yanshen focused on the report in his hand. He did not even give her a nce from beginning to end. Lin Qingqian was inexplicably a little angry. She stepped forward and snatched away his report. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m talking to you. Did you hear me?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were calm. He was not angry, nor was he very gentle. ¡°If you like Jiang City so much, why don¡¯t you just stay there?¡± She blushed. ¡°I wish I could, but you¡¯re here¡­¡± The afternoon sun was especially gentle as it shone on him, as if it had melted the coldness on his body. Lin Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look out of the window. The scene didn¡¯t seem so chaotic anymore, and it wasn¡¯t the same ce as before. She looked at the time on her phone. She had slept for almost an hour. The girl in front could not help butin, ¡°Why is the road blocked again? Didn¡¯t you say that it¡¯s all clear?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The driver broke down too. ¡°It looks like some kind ofst-minute inspection.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled as a ridiculous thought shed through her mind. Even though she felt that it was unlikely, because of her desire to live, she became more careful. She put on a cap and handed the cash she had prepared in advance to the driver. ¡°I¡¯ll get off here.¡± The driver was dumbfounded. ¡°But we haven¡¯t even arrived¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, let me off first!!¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted him. Seeing her insistence, the driver opened the door for her to get out. At around four in the afternoon, the sunlight was no longer as scorching, but the temperature on the asphalt road was still a little high. The drivers who were stuck here chose to stay in the car to enjoy the air conditioner. Lin Qingqian looked around and her gazended on Mount Shu not far away. Chapter 29 Mountain Fire Previously, when she came to tour, she had climbed through Mount Shu. On the other side of the mountain was a small vige. Even if Jiang Yanshen had guessed that she had arrived in Jiang City, it was unlikely that he would find that small vige. She climbed over the guardrail by the roadside and walked quickly up the mountain. ¡­ . The only intersection where the cars from Lan City entered Jiang City was blocked by a temporary road inspection. Every car had to be checked. Other than a traffic police car, and a local police car, there was a ck Cayenne parked beside them. The man in the car looked at the passing cars through the window with an endless chill between his brows. Gu Xici walked over and knocked on the window. When the window was halfway down, he said leisurely, ¡°That¡¯s not right. These are almost all the cars from the traffic jam this morning. I didn¡¯t see your wife. Are you sure she ran in this direction?¡± Jiang Yanshen did not answer him. Instead, he pushed open the car door and got out. He looked around with his hawk-like eyes. ¡°Just because she¡¯s not in the car doesn¡¯t mean that she¡¯s not here.¡± Gu Xici raised an eyebrow. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me she realized that we¡¯ve already set up a roadblock here!¡± She was just a young girl studying fashion. Was her mind so good? He did not believe it. ¡°She has lived in the mountains with Old Master Lin since she was young and has associated with animals. Her sense of danger is even more sensitive than animals. Any slight movement will make her vignt.¡± ¡°Then what should we do now?¡± Gu Xici asked. ¡°We can¡¯t just announce to the world that Director Jiang¡¯s wife has escaped and lock down the entire city.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°There¡¯s no need to seal the city. Seal the mountain!¡± His calm tone was as if he was talking about buying a cabbage. ¡°What?¡± Gu Xici suspected that he had heard wrongly. He turned his gaze to the mountain in the distance. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think a little girl like her will enter the mountain? It¡¯ll be darkter. She¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen interrupted him. ¡°As I said, she grew up with Old Master Lin.¡± Other girls might be afraid, but to Lin Qingqian, going up the mountain was as natural as going home for dinner. Seeing that he was so firm, Gu Xici¡¯s eyes lit up with novelty. He really wanted to know if that girl really had the guts to spend the night alone in the mountains! Jiang Yanshen had brought more than 30 bodyguards, including retired soldiers. Gu Xici had also asked the people from the bureau here to help search the mountain for her. ¡­ . Twilight descended, and the tired birds on the horizon returned to the forest. Lin Qingqian was anxious and worried, but her footsteps were iparably steady. She walked up step by step at a constant pace to conserve her strength. There was also a bottle of mineral water in her backpack. She had to control herself and not drink from it too frequently, or it would be very troublesome. If not for Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sudden appearance, she would be in the hotel room enjoying thefortable AC, eating dinner, and nning a beautiful future. She cursed the dog of a man a few more times in her heart. The temperature in the mountains was not like in the city. The temperature dropped very low at night. The night wind blew and it was cold. The darker the sky, the lower the temperature. Lin Qingqian took out a knitted cardigan from her backpack and put it on. She drank a few more mouthfuls of water. As she did not bring a shlight, she could only rely on the faint moonlight to climb the mountain. Her footsteps were much slower than before. After walking for three hours, she finally reached the mountainside. Feeling that her calf was a little sore, she found a rock nearby and sat down to rest. After rubbing her calf a few times, she suddenly heard a sizzling sound. She looked up and saw the mes that filled the skying from above. Her breath froze and her mind went nk. ¡ªMountain fire!! She actually encountered a forest fire!! Chapter 30 Because Jiang Yanshen Is Also One of Those People Who Runs Into The Fire Lin Qingqian reacted and ran down the mountain without hesitation. There were many bushes on the mountain, and the fire was fierce. Arge area of fire would cause thick smoke. Lin Qingqian did not run for long before she felt the thick smoke blocking her nose and she could not breathe. As she ran, she took out the water and a silk scarf from her backpack. She wet the scarf and covered her mouth and nose with it. Then, she threw away the rest of the water and the backpack, reducing the burden on her back, and increased her speed as she ran. The fire was ferocious. The sleeping birds could not react in time and were quickly devoured by the blood-red mes. Their feathers fluttered down slowly and were quickly burned to the point where even ashes could not be seen. The mountain fire seemed to want to burn a hole in the dark night sky. Lin Qingqian did not dare to hesitate or turn around to look. She ran down the mountain with all her might. Her survival instincts had already made her forget about the soreness and fatigue in her legs, Jiang Yanshen, Lan City, and everything else. Her only thought was to live. She didn¡¯t know how long she ran for, but she felt the heat wave chasing her getting closer and closer. The skin on her back hurt from the heat, but she didn¡¯t dare to look back and just ran with all her might. In the midst of destruction, many figures suddenly appeared in front of her. The first to appear in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes was Jiang Yanshen. At this moment, he had already taken off his suit. His ck inner shirt was wrapped around his muscr figure, and his long legs quickly strode towards her, rushing in front of everyone. His dark eyes surged with unreal concern under the light of the fire. Lin Qingqian wanted to tell him to run, but her throat could no longer make any sound. There was only the sound of the raging mes and her own panting in her ears. Her legs became weaker and weaker, and she staggered. She fell andy on the ground like a dead dog. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression became even gloomier. Suddenly, a huge burning tree trunk crashed down. It was falling towards the ce where¡­ Lin Qingqian had fallen. Without any hesitation, he pounced forward to hug Lin Qingqian and rolled on the ground a few times. Gu Xici was shocked. ¡°¡ªAh Yan!!¡± Then, he shouted, ¡°Fireman!!¡± They had originally nned to seal the mountain to look for her, but they did not expect to suddenly receive a notice that there was a fire on the mountain. The situation was extremely dangerous. Gu Xici had originally asked Jiang Yanshen to wait at the foot of the mountain while he and the firefighters went up to put out the fire. Jiang Yanshen had insisted oning along, but they didn¡¯t expect¡­ The firefighters had brought all the firefighting equipment over. As soon as they encountered the fire, they immediately began to try and contain it. Gu Xici went forward to help Jiang Yanshen up. His sharp eyes saw that the sleeve of his arm had been burned, and even his flesh was charred. There were even red threads in his flesh, like burnt braised pork. ¡°You¡¯re injured!¡± Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. His gazended on Lin Qingqian and he sized her up twice to confirm that she was fine before he heaved a sigh of relief. Lin Qingqian had escaped death and was already exhausted. Her entire mind was in a daze. Her gaze moved from his face to his arm and she pursed her leather lips without saying anything. The firefighters asked them to evacuate as they put out the fire. The fire was too big and it was dangerous to stay here. Gu Xici nodded and turned to Jiang Yanshen. ¡°I¡¯m staying here to help. You and Lin Qingqian go to the hospital first.¡± His injuries needed immediate attention. Jiang Yanshen nodded. Other than his face being a little pale, his indifferent expression was no different from a normal day. ¡°Leave the bodyguards I brought behind too. They¡¯re all retired soldiers. They can help.¡± Gu Xici did not stand on ceremony with him. It was more important to put out the fire and save people. Lin Qingqian¡¯s entire body was sore and weak. Jiang Yanshen ignored the injuries on his arm and picked her up horizontally before turning around to leave the mountain. She subconsciously turned around. All she could see was mes devouring everything. It was the people in orange uniforms sweating profusely as they fought against time to contain the fire. For a moment, it was unknown if it was because of Jiang Yanshen or these people who were traveling in the opposite direction with heavy loads, but her eyes becameden and sore¡­ Chapter 31 A Clear Death Jiang City First People¡¯s Hospital. Lin Qingqian was only exhausted. She was given some water and something to eat to replenish her strength. She would be fine after resting for a day or two. The more troublesome one was Jiang Yanshen. In order to save Lin Qingqian, he had allowed his arm to be smashed by the burning tree trunk and it¡¯d burned ayer of skin off him, revealing charred flesh. The rotten flesh had to be removed before medicine could be applied. The doctor had given him very little anesthetic, so when they removed the burnt flesh, he could still feel the pain. However, although Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep and cold face was covered in sweat like a waterfall and his pale thin lips were pursed tightly, he did not make a sound. He looked at Lin Qingqian from the corner of his eye the entire time. She was sitting by the wall, her hand holding the disposable cup was trembling. Sensing that someone was looking at her, she raised her lowered eyes slightly and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep ck eyes. For a moment, her emotions wereplicated. On one hand, it was because he had sacrificed himself to save her at the most dangerous moment. This was something she had not expected. On the other hand, if he had not chased her to Jiang City, she would not have to run up the mountain in the middle of the night. The guilt in her heart instantly lessened. After the doctor finished applying the medicine on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm, he wrapped the wound in a bandage and instructed, ¡°You have to apply the medicine three times a day. Don¡¯t let it get wet. You¡¯ll be fine after the new skin grows out.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pursed thin lips rxed and he nodded indifferently. The doctor looked at Lin Qingqian again. ¡°Go back and take good care of him. Don¡¯t let him eat spicy food. If the two of you have anything to say, talk it out. It¡¯s so dangerous to run out in the middle of the night. You¡¯re lucky to have run into the firefighters this time.¡± Lin Qingqian felt that he had misunderstood and was about to exin when Jiang Yanshen suddenly stood up and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± There were two people standing at the office door. One was Song Qin, the secretary of the Tianyue Secretariat, who could be considered Jiang Yanshen¡¯s right arm. The other was Lu Yuan, who had followed him over. He looked miserable and aggrieved as he looked at Jiang Yanshen. Song Qin: ¡°Director Jiang, are you returning to Lan City or resting here for the night?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and thought for a moment. ¡°Back to Lan City.¡± Song Qin said, ¡°I¡¯ll arrange the car now.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and nced at Lu Yuan. With the pride of a winner, she left in a hurry. Jiang Yanshen nced at Lu Yuan, who was like a block of wood. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± Lu Yuan was about to cry. ¡°Director, I, what did I do wrong? Why did you punish me to go to Ennd?¡± ¡°Even if I die, you have to let me die knowing the cause of my death.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at him with a gaze that clearly said¡ªirredeemable. Lu Yuan did not understand, but Lin Qingqian understood the situation immediately. It was because he had been tricked by her. ¡°I stole your itinerary. Lu Yuan doesn¡¯t know.¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and decided to plead on Lu Yuan¡¯s behalf. After all, Lu Yuan had treated her well in the past, unlike the others who always had a disdainful and mocking attitude. Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes widened, and his mouth was wide enough to fit a duck egg. He looked at Lin Qingqian in disbelief¡ªMadam, I trusted you so much, but you actually tricked me like this! Where¡¯s the trust between people? Lin Qingqian also felt a little apologetic in her heart. He was implicated by her. ¡°Just vent your anger on me. Why vent your anger on innocent people?¡± She was talking to Jiang Yanshen. Her voice was soft, probably because she was weak. ¡°Heh.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his pale thin lips, and a cold light appeared in his dark eyes. He lowered his head and approached her, his voice so cold that it made one shudder¡ª Chapter 32 I¡¯m warning you, if you dare to touch my Little Aunt, I¡¯ll... ¡°You still have the mood to care about others? How much do you think you can withstand?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s anger¡ª Lin Qingqian thought of what he was like when he was angry in the past and could not help but shiver. That was not long after she arrived at the Jiang family. Madam Jiang took Li Ruzhu in as her goddaughter and even brought her to the Jiang family to stay. In order to please Madam Jiang, Li Ruzhu called her ¡°Mom¡±. Jiang Yanshen flipped the table on the spot and grabbed Li Ruzhu by the neck. He said in a sinister voice, ¡°Try calling her that again?¡± At that time, Li Ruzhu¡¯s face turned from white to red to ck, and her eyes almost popped out. If not for Madam Jiang desperately stopping and begging him, Jiang Yanshen would really have strangled Li Ruzhu to death. This was also why Li Ruzhu and Madam Jiang were afraid of Jiang Yanshen. Once this man lost control, he was simply a wild beast!! Jiang Yanshen caught a trace of fear in her eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t let me see you before the acquisition is over!¡± He was talking to Lu Yuan. As soon as he finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator. Lu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned. Although he still had to go to Ennd, at least there was a return date now and there was something to look forward to. Thinking of Song Qin¡¯s smug expression, he secretly spat: Just you wait. In a month, I¡¯ll be reinstated!! ¡­ . It was alreadyte at night when they returned to the Jiang family vi. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu had already gone to bed. Only the servants who were on night watch saw them return and hurriedly came out to wee them. Jiang Yanshen waved his hand to signal for them to rest. He went upstairs to the study instead of returning to the bedroom. A momentter, he went downstairs and took his car keys. He did not bring Song Qin or any drivers with him. No one knew where he had gone. Lin Qingqiany on the big bed, her mind in a mess. She was exhausted and fell asleep without even taking a shower. The next day, Lin Qingqian vaguely heard some movement and woke up. She went to take a shower and changed her clothes before going downstairs. As soon as she reached the stairs, she heard a familiar voice¡ª ¡°Life in the big city is different after all. Even breakfast is so westernized. Unlike us country bumpkins who will be full just from eating a bowl of porridge.¡± Lin Qingqian quickened her pace and went downstairs. When she turned around, she saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the dining table in a flowery shirt. She looked surprised. ¡°Little Aunt¡­¡± Lin Chaoyan was also very happy to see her, but before she could speak, Lin Qingqian had already reacted and rushed in front of Jiang Yanshen. She said angrily, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what is the meaning of this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand that was holding the coffee cup paused. He looked up at her without saying anything. ¡°Why are you implicating my aunt in our matters?¡± Lin Qingqian looked down at him aggressively like an old hen protecting a little chick. ¡°I¡¯m warning you, if you dare to touch my aunt, I¡¯ll¡­¡± Pa! Before she could finish speaking, she was pped on the head. Lin Qingqian covered the back of her head and turned to look at Lin Zhaoyan, who had pped her. She looked aggrieved. ¡°Little Aunt¡­¡± ¡°You still know that I¡¯m your aunt?!¡± Lin Chaoyan shouted at her, as if she was reprimanding a junior. ¡°You still have the cheek to shout at Yanshen at this time! He¡¯s your husband. How can you talk to him like that!¡± ¡°I¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian opened her mouth to exin, but Lin Chaoyan had no intention of listening. She stood in front of her and looked at Jiang Yanshen. She smiled apologetically and said, ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you. This child has been spoiled by the old man since she was young. She¡¯s rude. Don¡¯t lower yourself to her level.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Lin Qingqian, who was standing behind Lin Chaoyan. She was as angry as a crab, baring her fangs and brandishing her ws. She looked very different from her previous obedient appearance. ¡°Aunt, Qianqian just has a lively personality. She¡¯s quite good.¡± In front of Lin Chaoyan, Jiang Yanshen no longer had his usual arrogant attitude. His tone had be much calmer. Lin Chaoyan smiled. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t mind.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from upstairs. It was Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhuing down. Chapter 33 What¡¯s With That Wench? Why Is She Still Raised in the Jiang Family? Lin Zhaoyan turned around and saw Madam Jiang who was dressed brightly. She immediately revealed a solicitous smile and greeted her warmly, ¡°This must be the inws. She¡¯s so beautiful and dressed so beautifully.¡± Madam Jiang could not hide the disdain in her eyes. ¡°You are¡ª¡± Lin Zhaoyan pretended not to see her disgust and introduced herself enthusiastically. ¡°I¡¯m Qingqian¡¯s aunt. You can call me Younger Sister.¡± Madam Jiang frowned tightly and sized her up carefully. This woman was dressed in rags, her skin was extremely rough, and her hair was like withered grass. No matter how she looked at it, she looked much older than her and actually took the initiative to say that she was the Younger Sister. Wasn¡¯t she basically calling her old? ¡°Aiyo, Older Sister, I¡¯m not taking advantage of you!¡± Lin Chaoyan exined with a smile. ¡°Don¡¯t judge me based on how old I look. I¡¯m still young.¡± The word ¡°old¡± made Madam Jiang¡¯s face darken. Women hated it when others said that they were old, especially a richdy like Madam Jiang, who goes to the beauty salon almost every week to maintain her looks. How could she listen to others say that she was old! However, Lin Zhaoyan acted as if she didn¡¯t know anything and kept addressing her as Older Sister in an affectionate manner. Madam Jiang almost couldn¡¯t maintain her expression. She gritted her teeth and kept cursing in her heart, this annoying shrew who came out from the corner of the mountain, for being crude and stupid! Li Ruzhu waspletely ignored by her. However, she was part of the younger generation, so it was not appropriate for her to take the initiative to speak at this moment. She could only grit her teeth and curse in her heart. Lin Qingqian did not expect her aunt to anger Madam Jiang to this extent. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile in them. Before Madam Jiang fell out with her, she said, ¡°Aunt, eat some breakfast first.¡± ¡°Aiyo, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to eat. It¡¯s just that I¡¯m not used to the breakfast in your big city. I¡¯ll make another one.¡± Lin Chaoyan didn¡¯t care about Madam Jiang¡¯s expression at all. She continued to ignore Li Ruzhu and chatter. ¡°I even specially brought an old hen and two fresh fish from my hometown. They¡¯re still alive and kicking! Aunt will cook your favorite boiled fish for you at noon!¡± Before Lin Qingqian could speak, Jiang Yanshen spoke first. ¡°Aunt, let the chef handle the fish. Don¡¯t work so hard.¡± ¡°Aiyo, how can that do!¡± Lin Chaoyan said as she walked towards him, ¡°How can your chef know how to cook our fish? Moreover, our Qingqian grew up eating the fish I made. She doesn¡¯t like fish cooked by others!¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± A servant walked over with a bowl of bird¡¯s nest that had just been stewed. ¡°Madam, the bird¡¯s nest is ready.¡± Just as Madam Jiang was about to reach out to take it, Lin Chaoyan came forward. ¡°What Madam? If you call her Madam, what do you call my Qingqian? You have to address her as Old Madam. You really don¡¯t know the rules!¡± Old¡­ Madam! The corners of Madam Jiang¡¯s mouth twitched violently, and the servant looked embarrassed. Lin Zhaoyan looked at the bowl of bird¡¯s nest again. ¡°Aiyo, this is bird¡¯s nest. I¡¯ve only seen it on television. I¡¯ve never eaten it before¡­¡± ¡°Little Aunt¡­¡± Lin Qingqian realized that she was going too far and could not help but remind her. Jiang Yanshen stood up and said, ¡°If Auntie likes it, I¡¯ll get Song Qin to prepare a set for you after the wedding.¡± ¡°Aiyo! That¡¯s too embarrassing!¡± Lin Chaoyan hurriedly waved her hand and pretended to decline. Lin Qingqian turned to look at the man in the jacket, a trace of surprise appearing in her eyes¡­ He had brought her aunt over for the wedding! Until now, he still insisted on holding this wedding! ¡°I still have something to do at thepany. Aunt, stay here in peace. If you need anything, feel free to tell the butler,¡± Jiang Yanshen said indifferently. He was considerate and could not find any ws. Lin Zhaoyan nodded. ¡°Go then. A man should prioritize his career.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Lin Qingqian and turned to leave without saying a word. Lin Zhaoyan watched him leave before looking at Madam Jiang. ¡°Older Sister, I¡¯m going to make breakfast. Do you want me to make one for you too?¡± Her tone was as if she was the host here and they were the guests! The corners of Madam Jiang¡¯s mouth curled up into a forced smile. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I still have something to do and have to go out. Help yourself.¡± With that, she instructed the driver to prepare the car and left with Li Ruzhu. After they left, the servants went back to the kitchen. Lin Zhaoyan elbowed Lin Qingqian. ¡°What¡¯s with that little wench? Why is she still raised in the Jiang family?¡± Chapter 34 Don¡¯t tell me you still can¡¯t bear to part with that Jiang fellow? Lin Qingqian did not answer her. Instead, she pulled her by the wrist and went upstairs. Lin Zhaoyan eximed, ¡°Why are you pulling me? How old is this child? Why are you still so rash?¡± After entering the bedroom and closing the door, Lin Qingqian let go and turned to look at her. ¡°Little Aunt, who asked you toe?¡± Lin Zhaoyan rolled her eyes at her. As she tidied her clothes that were messed up by her, she nagged, ¡°You¡¯re about to have a wedding with Jiang Yanshen. Why can¡¯t Ie?¡± ¡°Do you feel that Auntie is from the countryside and has embarrassed you?!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant,¡± Lin Qingqian exined. Lin Chaoyan snorted arrogantly and turned around to sit on the sofa. She scolded, ¡°You haven¡¯t exined about that little shrew. You¡¯ve been married to Jiang Yanshen for a few years. Why is she still staying here? Don¡¯t tell me she¡¯ll still be staying here after the wedding banquet is over? On the surface, she¡¯s a goddaughter. But from what I see, it¡¯s that old witch¡¯s idea to keep her as a concubine for her son. She¡¯s already so old, but she doesn¡¯t stay at home. She wears such fancy clothes and runs about in public. How indecent and shameless!¡± Lin Chaoyan spat and looked up at Lin Qingqian beside her. She pped her arm and said, ¡°Let me tell you, although our Lin family is from the countryside, we still have a backbone. If Jiang Yanshen keeps that kind of shady woman, we can¡¯t agree to it!¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and did not say anything. ¡°Did you hear what I said?¡± Lin Zhaoyan pped her again. Lin Qingqian raised her head to look at her. Her eyes were clear and firm, and her voice was the same. ¡°Little Aunt, I¡¯m not going to hold a wedding with Jiang Yanshen. I want to divorce him!¡± Lin Chaoyan was stunned, and her eyes almost popped out. ¡°What did you say? Divorce? Why do you want a divorce?¡± In the next second, he said, ¡°Is it because of that little shrew? I¡¯ll definitely skin her alive today!¡± She stood up and was about to leave. Lin Qingqian hurriedly grabbed her hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing to do with her!¡± Lin Chaoyan turned around and asked curiously, ¡°If it¡¯s not her fault, what is it? Did Jiang Yanshen bully you?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingertips grabbed her hand tightly, and her eyes stung. The sorrow in her heart could not be exined with just a few words. Lin Chaoyan immediately calmed down. She held her cold hands and sat down. ¡°Tell me honestly, what happened?¡± All these years, Lin Qingqian had only reported the good things to Lin Zhaoyan, her only family. As a result, Lin Zhaoyan had always thought that she was living very well in Lan City with the Jiang family. Now that she was determined to divorce Jiang Yanshen, there were some things that could not be hidden from her aunt. ¡­ . 15 minutester, Lin Qingqian calmly recounted what had happened in the past few years without adding any embellishments. After saying that, she felt as if a huge rock had been lifted from her heart. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s face was already ashen. She stood up with a snort and rolled up her sleeves, looking like she was about to fight. ¡°This is too much. That Jiang fellow is simply too much!!¡± ¡°Little Aunt, what are you doing?¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and followed behind her. ¡°I¡¯ll go and settle the score with that Jiang fellow!¡± Lin Chaoyan roared. ¡°The Jiang family is too much of a bully. Do they really think our Lin family has no backing? The old man might be dead, but I¡¯m not dead yet! If they dare to treat you like this, I¡¯ll avenge you even if I have to flip the Jiang family over today!¡± ¡°Little Aunt, don¡¯t go!¡± Lin Qingqian hugged her arm, determined not to let her go. Lin Chaoyan turned around and red at her. She said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you still can¡¯t bear to part with that Jiang fellow?¡± Chapter 35 Oh My God, Being Rich Is Really So Great! ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian denied, ¡°Little Aunt, you don¡¯t understand Jiang Yanshen. Even if you turn the Jiang family upside down today, he can still escort me into the wedding hall tomorrow.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Chaoyan said indignantly, ¡°You don¡¯t want to marry him and want a divorce. Do you think he can force you by throwing a bit of money? Does he really think he¡¯s so great just because he has some crappy money!¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. She walked to the window and pulled open the curtain to look down. Lin Chaoyan walked over with a puzzled expression. She followed her gaze and saw two men in ck suits and sunsses. They were burly and looked as scary as the bodyguards in action movies. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡¯s men caught up with me before I even arrived in Jiang City. Jiang Yanshen can hire as many men like this as he wants.¡± When Lin Chaoyan heard this, she silently swallowed her saliva and thought to herself, ¡°Oh my god, being rich is really amazing!¡± ¡°Um, what should we do now?¡± Lin Chaoyanpletely calmed down and began to panic. She looked at her with hesitation and heartache. Lin Qingqian retracted her gaze. ¡°Since he¡¯s determined to hold this wedding, the Old Madam should be back soon as well.¡± She was referring to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s grandmother, Old Madam Jiang. At the mention of Old Madam Jiang, Lin Zhaoyan couldn¡¯t help butin, ¡°Back then, I saw that the Old Madam had personally gone to Yushan to follow behind the old man¡¯s coffin despite her old age. I thought that she would take good care of you on ount of her old rtionship with the old man. Who would have thought¡­¡± She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Lin Qingqian worriedly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen is her biological grandson. Will she help you?¡± Lin Qingqian was a little hesitant. ¡°I don¡¯t know, but Grandma Jiang is not an unreasonable person.¡± Lin Zhaoyan also knew that marrying into the Jiang family was already giving a high social status for people like them who had no power or influence. It was even harder to take the initiative to form their own connections. ¡°Do whatever you want. Although we¡¯re poor, we can¡¯t be spineless. At most, you can follow me back to Yushan. Aunt will support you for the rest of your life!¡± Lin Chaoyan held her hand and said with a righteous aura. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that Jiang Yanshen can lock you up at home for the rest of your life!¡± Lin Qingqian knew that her aunt was cheering her on and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Aunt. I know what to do.¡± ¡­ . At noon, Lin Zhaoyan went to the kitchen to ughter the old hen and make soup. She chopped the two fresh fish and turned them into fish filets for Lin Qingqian. Without Jiang Yanshen around, the servants were not as respectful to her as they were this morning. But who was Lin Zhaoyan? In the entire Yushan, she was famous for being the most feisty woman in the surrounding viges. No matter if it was men, women, old, or young, who dared to provoke her? Those who dared probably felt that their lives were toofortable. She pulled out the chicken feathers neatly and cut off the head and butt of the chicken with a butcher knife, scaring the entric servants and chefs out of the kitchen. Lin Chaoyan smashed the chopper into the chopping board, wedging it deeply. She spat and said, ¡°What a bunch of snobbish people. They deserve to be servants for the rest of their lives!¡± Lin Qingqian heard her scolding when she walked in and felt a little guilty. ¡°Aunt, don¡¯t lower yourself to their level.¡± If she hadn¡¯t entered the Jiang family with Grandma Jiang back then, her aunt wouldn¡¯t have to suffer so much today. ¡°I won¡¯t lower myself to their level.¡± Lin Chaoyan dealt with the chicken as quickly as she could and said, ¡°These bastards must have angered you a lot in the past! F*ck, watch how I deal with them.¡± ¡°Aunt¡­¡± Lin Qingqian wanted to say something but was interrupted by her. ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Chaoyan nced at her. ¡°I can¡¯t interfere in your and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s matters, but this group of lowly people can¡¯t bully my Lin family. If the old man was still alive and knew that you had suffered such pain and anger, he would have long smashed their heads with his walking stick. Do you believe me?¡± Chapter 36 Our Qingqian Loves Spicy Food the Most. How Could Yanshen Not Like Spicy Food? At the mention of her grandfather, Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes could not help but darken, and disappointment and guilt silently lingered in her clear eyes. Her parents had passed away when she was young. She had grown up by her grandfather¡¯s side. Her grandfather was her dearest person in the world. He had once hoped that she could get into a good university and find a good job to live a dignified life. Her grandfather had said, ¡°A girl doesn¡¯t have to get married and have children to be considered a good woman. As long as she studies hard, works hard, and lives a steady life, a girl can also have some achievements.¡± But she¡ª From the moment she saw Jiang Yanshen, she had thrown all her grandfather¡¯s hopes to the back of her mind. She had wasted seven years and lived a life that her grandfather hated. Lin Zhaoyan knew that she was sad at the mention of the old man, so sheforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the old man only wants you to live a healthy and happy life. Even if the old man is gone, I¡¯m still here!¡± She was Lin Qingqian¡¯s only family. In contrast, Lin Qingqian was also her only family in this world. Lin Qingqian nodded and pursed her lips. ¡°I know, Little Aunt.¡± ¡°Go back to your room and rest. Don¡¯t disturb me from cooking.¡± Lin Zhaoyan chased her out of the kitchen. ¡­ . Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu were not around. Only Lin Chaoyan and Lin Qingqian ate together for lunch. The meal was personally cooked by Lin Chaoyan. All the dishes smelled like their hometown. Lin Qingqian unknowingly ate two bowls of rice and returned to her room to take an afternoon nap. She slept until evening. When she went downstairs, Jiang Yanshen had just returned. The moment their gazes met, Lin Qingqian quickly lowered her eyes to avoid it. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was indifferent. He took off his coat and handed it to the servant. He asked as if nothing had happened, ¡°Where¡¯s Auntie?¡± ¡°I have no idea.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chaoyan¡¯s enthusiastic voice came from the kitchen, as if she had used a loudspeaker to magnify it infinitely. ¡°Aiya, our Yanshen is back.¡± Our¡­ Yanshen? Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. No matter how she looked at it, it felt ufortable. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. He did not dislike her calling him that. Lin Chaoyan came out with a spat. ¡°Yanshen, rest for a while. Dinner will be ready soon.¡± With that, she went back into the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen walked towards Lin Qingqian and frowned. ¡°How can we let Auntie cook?¡± Lin Qingqian asked in return, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you ask your chef about this?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face was covered with a faintyer of frost. After a moment of silence, he went upstairs without saying anything. Ten minutester, Lin Zhaoyan personally went upstairs to call him down for dinner. ¡°Yanshen, I don¡¯t know what you like to eat, but since you¡¯re going to marry our Qingqian, you¡¯ll definitely have to like whatever she likes.¡± As Lin Zhaoyan spoke, she used the serving chopsticks to pick up the boiled fish that was filled with red chili and ced them in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bowl¡ª ¡°Qingqian loves my boiled fish the most. Try it quickly.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes to look at the fish in the bowl that was still stained with chili. His brows were furrowed tightly. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the woman sitting on the left. Lin Qingqian seemed to not know anything and ate her own food. Seeing that he was not eating, Lin Zhaoyan urged, ¡°Eat quickly.¡± Jiang Yanshen still did not move. The butler at the side could not stand it anymore and exined, ¡°Madam Lin, our Young Master doesn¡¯t eat spicy food.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Lin Chaoyan turned her head and red at her. ¡°Our Qingqian likes spicy food the most. How can Yanshen not like spicy food?¡± With that, she looked at Jiang Yanshen and asked with a bright smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t that right, Yanshen?¡± Chapter 37 Kneel Here Under her scrutinizing gaze, Jiang Yanshen braced himself and nodded slowly. Lin Zhaoyan revealed a satisfied smile and picked up another piece of meat for him. ¡°This is stir-fried pork. It¡¯s stir-fried with fresh peppers that I specially brought from Yushan. Qingqian especially liked to eat it when she was young. A piece of raw pepper can be eaten with a mouthful of rice.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± He looked at Lin Qingqian suspiciously. Lin Qingqian looked down and pretended not to hear anything. She thought to herself, ¡°Aunt, you¡¯re really good at exaggerating. What if Jiang Yanshen really wants me to perform the act of eating raw pepper?¡± Jiang Yanshen was not as sinister and cunning as she thought. He did not drag her to die with him. He only picked up his chopsticks and ate all the spicy food that he had never eaten under Auntie Lin¡¯s enthusiasm. The expression on his face did not change, but sweat was already flowing down his temples. After the meal, Lin Zhaoyan was overjoyed and felt refreshed. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s back was drenched. His ck shirt clung to his muscles, outlining his muscr figure, making him look even sexier. ¡°Yanshen, why are you sweating so much? Are you too tired?¡± Lin Chaoyan eximed and urged Lin Qingqian, ¡°Go and fill Yanshen¡¯s bath with water. I¡¯ll wash the dishes.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned, and the cold light in his eyes shot towards the butler. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± The butler¡¯s body clearly stiffened, and he was already shouting in his heart that something was wrong¡­ ¡°Aiyo, Yanshen, don¡¯t me them.¡± Lin Zhaoyan put down her hand that was clearing the dishes and said with a self-deprecating smile, ¡°It¡¯s already a blessing for a girl like our Qingqian to be able to marry you. She¡¯s usually filial to her inws and washes the dishes at home. It¡¯s her duty to also fetch water and wash their feet. If she didn¡¯t do it well, she also deserves to be beaten and scolded by her mother-inw! Since ancient times, isn¡¯t it only right for a mother-inw to discipline her daughter-inw?!¡± The more she said this, the uglier Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression became. He turned to look at Lin Qingqian, his eyes filled with doubt and displeasure. Wash the dishes and clean up? Fetch the water to wash their feet? She was even beaten and scolded? She had never mentioned these things to him before. Lin Qingqian still did not look at him. She only stood up and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯ll go prepare the bath for you.¡± Before turning around, she gave Lin Chaoyan a look, indicating for her to stop. There were some things that she had never mentioned in front of Jiang Yanshen before. She did not want to mention them now, and she would not mention them in the future. As Lin Chaoyan cleaned up the dishes, she seemed to be muttering to herself, ¡°Country women like us are born to serve others. We have to ept our fate.¡± Jiang Yan¡¯s deep and cold face was expressionless. His jawline was so tense that it was about to break. His thin lips moved. ¡°Auntie, please go back to your room and rest first.¡± Lin Zhaoyan: ¡°Aiyo, there¡¯s no need. I often do these things in the countryside. I¡¯m used to it¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his cold eyes. Lin Chaoyan shivered. ¡°Since you¡¯ve said so, I¡¯ll take advantage of you.¡± Lin Chaoyan was very observant and did not say anything else. She took off her apron and threw it on the chair. When she turned to go upstairs, she took another look at the trembling butler and a disdainful smile shed across her eyes. ¡ªYou want to fight with me? If I don¡¯t kill you, my surname won¡¯t be Lin!! After Lin Zhaoyan went upstairs, Jiang Yanshen stood up¡­ The butler¡¯s voice trembled. ¡°Young Master¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slender hands had already quickly overturned the dining table. The tes and bowls on the table fell to the ground, and the sound of them shattering rang out in a deafening manner. The butler was so frightened that her legs trembled and she almost knelt on the ground to beg for mercy. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyes shot at her without a trace of warmth. ¡°Kneel here.¡± Chapter 38 Qianqian, You Still Care About Me Lin Qingqian filled the bathtub and turned around, almost bumping into Jiang Yanshen who wasing in. The two of them were stuck at the bathroom door. One could not enter, and the other could not leave. The scene was awkward. Lin Qingqian took a step back and wanted to let him in, but Jiang Yan¡¯s well-defined fingers grabbed her slender wrist tightly, and his thin lips moved. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s thick eyshes trembled slightly. She understood his words but did not answer. Instead, she replied, ¡°I¡¯ll ask you the same.¡± Her clear eyes met his. They were not as affectionate as before, but stubborn and forbearing. She had even caused him to be injured by escaping. With his previous temper, he would have long flown into a rage. She did not know how he would punish her. This time, he actually did not mention a word. This was not like the Jiang Yanshen she knew. Jiang Yanshen held her wrist tightly and frowned. ¡°Is this why you wanted a divorce?¡± Lin Qingqian curled her lips. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll change my mind just because you¡¯re injured for me? If so, you¡¯re going to be disappointed.¡± ¡°You told Auntie about the divorce?¡± How could someone as smart as him not see through her thoughts? He did not expose her but just followed through. ¡°So what if I mentioned it and so what if I didn¡¯t?¡± Jiang Yanshen did not like her current attitude when talking to him, but he was helpless. He took a deep breath to suppress the unhappiness in his heart and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°Since you¡¯re not hiding your cards anymore, you should know that I won¡¯t indulge you without a bottom line. Qianqian¡ª¡± He was about to ce his finger on her cheek when Lin Qingqian lowered her head and she turned her head to avoid it. The light in her eyes was cold. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you should know very well that if Auntie is injured at all, I will die with you.¡± With that, she flung his hand away fiercely and walked past him. Jiang Yanshen was caught off guard and his hand was shaken off by her. When he turned around and wanted to stop her, his frown suddenly deepened. His fingers involuntarily pressed against his stomach, and sweat poured down his forehead like rain¡­ ¡­ . Jiang Yanshen came out of the bathroom wearing ck pajamas. The water on his hair had yet to be dried, and the water droplets on his hair dripped onto his handsome face. The hot air dyed his cheeks a thinyer of red, and he seemed to have an Immortal aura, sexy and charming. Lin Qingqian took out some medicine for the stomach from the medicine box and ced it on his table. Without saying anything, she stood up to leave. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze followed her back. ¡°You¡¯re not going to help me change my dressing?¡± Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks. Before she could turn around, she heard his voice. ¡°Or do you want to ask Auntie to help me change my dressing?¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen, why haven¡¯t you been stabbed to death yet?¡± She gritted her teeth, wishing she could bite off a piece of his flesh. This dog of a man was so annoying. She had really been blind back then!! Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes and sat down expressionlessly. He picked up the stomach medicine and swallowed it without even taking a sip of water. Lin Qingqian stood on the spot in silence for a moment. In the end, she walked to the sofa and squatted down. She rolled up his sleeve and saw that the bandages were damp. She could not help but frown. ¡°Didn¡¯t the doctor tell you not to let it get wet?¡± ¡°The doctor also instructed me to stay away from spicy food.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± Forget it, what did the life and death of this bastard have to do with her! She untied the bandage and removed the gauze. Then, she realized that the wound did not seem to be healing normally. His flesh was still bloody. She first disinfected the wound with disinfectant cotton before applying some white ointment on it. Jiang Yanshen looked down at her in face and suddenly said, ¡°Qianqian, you still care about me.¡± Chapter 39 Are You Defending Her? Lin Qingqian paused and looked up at him with an indescribable gaze. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, do you know how many times I would have hacked you to death if killing wasn¡¯t illegal?¡± She had brought him stomach medicine purely because she did not want anything to happen to him. If Madam Jiang found out about this, she would settle the score with her Aunt. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. His ck eyes that stared at her were like the vast night sky, mysterious and distant, as if they contained the endless secrets of humanity. Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and continued to apply the medicine for him. After applying the medicine again and tying a beautiful bow with the gauze and bandages, Lin Qingqian turned around to pack the first aid kit. Jiang Yanshen frowned and looked at the bow on his arm. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed a few times but he did not speak. Until Lin Qingqian stood up and was about to leave, he raised his hand and grabbed her wrist¡­ Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at the well-defined hand on her wrist. His palm was cold and tightly pressed against her skin. The coolness seeped into her snow-white skin and thin granules appeared. ¡°Let go!¡± ¡°Qianqian, I¡ª¡± Lin Zhaoyan¡¯s loud voice suddenly came from the door. ¡°Aiyo, you haven¡¯t rested yet. That¡¯s great.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and saw her aunt walk in. She hurriedly shook off Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand. ¡°Little Aunt, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Zhaoyan walked in and nced at Jiang Yanshen behind her. She said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s nothing much. It¡¯s just that this is the first time I¡¯ve stayed in such a nice house. I¡¯m not used to it and didn¡¯t sleep wellst night. It¡¯s just nice that you¡¯re here. Sleep with Auntie tonight.¡± ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yanshen was the first to speak. He stood up and said nervously, ¡°Auntie, if you¡¯re not used to it, I can¡­¡± Not giving him a chance to finish, Lin Zhaoyan interrupted, ¡°Aiyo, if Qingqian doesn¡¯t sleep with me, are you going to sleep with me?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen sleeping with you? Aunt, you really dare to say that!! Lin Chaoyan grabbed Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and said in a non-negotiable tone, ¡°It¡¯s settled then!¡± Jiang Yanshen watched helplessly as Lin Qingqian was pulled away, but he could not say anything to stop her. After all, the other party was an elder. He originally wanted to bring Lin Chaoyan over to make the wedding go smoother, but now, it seemed that the effect was counterproductive!! ¡­ . When Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu returned, they saw the mess in the dining room. The butler was kneeling on the ss shards on the ground, and a pool of blood flowed out from under her knees. ¡°Auntie Li, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Madam Jiang walked over and asked. When the housekeeper, Auntie Li, saw her, it was as if she had seen her savior. ¡°Madam, quickly help me plead with the Young Master. If I keep kneeling here, my legs will be crippled!¡± Auntie Li was an old butler of the Jiang family and also Madam Jiang¡¯s trusted aide. Seeing that she had been punished so severely, she naturally could not help but go to ask Jiang Yanshen about it. Li Ruzhu followed behind her. Madam Jiang walked to the bedroom and knocked on the door. ¡°Yanshen, open the door¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Nothing happened in the room for a long time. Just as she was about to knock a second time, the door suddenly opened. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall figure appeared in front of them. His handsome face was expressionless, and his eyes were filled with a cold light. ¡°What did Auntie Li do wrong? Why did you punish her to kneel on the ss shards?¡± Madam Jiang questioned firmly. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his dark eyes and asked in a low and cold voice, ¡°Are you defending her?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Madam Jiang blurted out. ¡°She¡¯s an old butler of our Jiang family. If nothing unexpected happens, she¡¯ll die in our Jiang family in the future.¡± An extremely sarcastic ¡°heh¡± was squeezed out of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat, and his cold voice slowly sounded¡ª Chapter 40 Ptui ¡°Since Mother¡¯s heart aches for her, you can take her ce.¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s eyes widened as she gasped. ¡°You, what did you say?¡± ¡°I said that since Mother and Auntie Li have a deep rtionship and are like sisters, if your heart really aches for her, you can kneel for her until tomorrow!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice sounded without any warmth. He called her Mother, but his cold attitude was even worse than towards strangers. ¡°You¡ª¡± Madam Jiang was so angry that she could not stand steadily. Li Ruzhu immediately supported her and looked at Jiang Yanshen pitifully. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hawk-like eyes shed, and his cold gaze made Li Ruzhu fall silent. She could not help but feel angry. Why couldn¡¯t his attitude towards her be better after so many years? Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes indifferently and ignored the resentment in Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes. He closed the door and could not help but cough. His pale face was dyed with an abnormal red color, and his mental state was visibly not good. Even so, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu could not tell that he was ufortable. No one would ever be able to tell. There once was a person who could tell that he was not feeling well and had stayed by his bed all night in a panic, as if he could die at any moment. Jiang Yansheny on the bed again. He thought of the person who had once been so worried about him that she was unable to sleep the entire night. Now, this person would either call him a dog of a man or curse him to die whenever she saw him¡­ His pale lips slowly curled into a mocking smile, and he fell asleep unknowingly. ¡­ . Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu were speechless in front of Jiang Yanshen. Thus, they went downstairs to ask Auntie Li about the exact situation. After finding out that Lin Chaoyan was behind this, Madam Jiang could no longer control her anger and went upstairs. Li Ruzhu followed beside her and said indignantly, ¡°They¡¯ve gone overboard, but¡­ Big Brother Yanshen is going to hold a wedding with Lin Qingqian. If we make her Aunt unhappy now, Big Brother Yanshen will be even angrier.¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s anger originally only reached her chest, but now, it surged to the top of her head. She no longer cared about her image as a noblewoman or her upbringing. She mmed on the door. ¡°Coming,ing, which ghosts are you trying to wake thiste at night?¡± Lin Chaoyan opened the door and saw Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu. She immediately put on a fake smile. ¡°Aiyo, Older Sister, I haven¡¯t seen you for a day. You¡¯re finally back.¡± The words ¡°Older Sister¡± made Madam Jiang so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She could not even pretend to be nice anymore. ¡°Madam Lin, I¡¯m not familiar with you. Please call me Madam Jiang! Also¡­ Lin Qingqian has married into our Jiang family. Her family name is now Jiang, not Lin. If you want to stir up trouble and gossip, please scram back to your Yushan.¡± The smile on Lin Chaoyan¡¯s face darkened. After a few seconds of silence, she rolled up her sleeves and gritted her teeth. ¡°Madam¡ª¡ªJiang! Ptui! I¡¯m giving you some face by calling you Older Sister. Who do you think you are! So what if the Jiang family is rich? Do you think our Qingqian really wants to marry into your family? Back then, if not for the old granny personally going to Yushan to pick her up, we wouldn¡¯t have deigned toe here!¡± Lin Chaoyan¡¯s voice was loud and her aura was strong. She rolled up her sleeves and ced her hands on her hips. She was a tyrant of the countryside and no one dared to provoke her. Lin Qingqian was about to take a shower when she heard themotion and came out to see Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu standing at the door. It was obvious that it was about Jiang Yanshen punishing Auntie Li. This Auntie Li usually relied on Madam Jiang¡¯s protection to mock her. ¡°You said that I was sowing discord and gossiping! Ptui¡ª¡± Lin Chaoyan spat on Madam Jiang¡¯s face. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what kind of person you are and what you¡¯ve done? Aren¡¯t you just a little rich? Do you really think your son is the Emperor and you¡¯re the Empress Dowager showing off? I¡­ ptui ptui ptui ptui!!¡± Madam Jiang had lived the life of a wealthydy for decades. She was usually ttered wherever she went. When had she ever been spat on and suffered such humiliation? At that moment, she felt extremely embarrassed and angry. She raised her hand and swung it at Lin Zhaoyan¡ª Chapter 41 - 41 If Only She Had Been So Unyielding Earlier! 41 If Only She Had Been So Unyielding Earlier! However, her hand was intercepted before she could touch Lin Chaoyan. Lin Qingqian¡¯s cold and sharp gaze shot towards her. ¡°You dare to touch my Auntie?¡± In the past few years, she had tolerated Madam Jiang for Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sake. But now she did not want Jiang Yanshen anymore, let alone his mother! If she dared to touch her Auntie tonight, she would definitely beat her up!! Madam Jiang was frightened by Lin Qingqian¡¯s aura for a moment, but she hated Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan to the core. She didn¡¯t know what medicine the Old Madam had taken back then to actually make Jiang Yanshen marry such a woman! When Li Ruzhu saw this, she criticized worriedly and angrily, ¡°You, what exactly do you want?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her indifferently and flung Madam Jiang¡¯s hand away fiercely. Lin Chaoyan stood next to her and looked at her with joy in her eyes. If only she had been So unyielding earlier! Seeing that she was ignoring her, Li Ruzhu spoke again, ¡°Lin Qingqian, even if Brother Yanshen is willing to give you an official status, you don¡¯t have to be so arrogant! No matter what, Auntie is still your mother-inw. How can you disrespect her?¡± Lin Qingqian was expressionless. ¡°Are you done?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Li Ruzhu was stunned. Lin Qingqian said, ¡°If you¡¯re done, turn around and scram. I don¡¯t have time to send you off.¡± Li Ruzhu: ¡°¡­¡± Her face instantly turned the color of a pig¡¯s liver. ¡°What an uneducated thing. Our Jiang family must have stepped into eight lifetimes of bad luck to have a daughter-inw like you!¡± Madam Jiang couldn¡¯t take it anymore and cursed. ¡°Oh!¡± When she heard the scolding, Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Your Jiang family has eight lifetimes of bad luck? Clearly, it¡¯s our Lin family that has eight lifetimes of bad luck. If you have the ability, ask your Jiang Yanshen to leave our Qianqian alone. He just needs to sign the divorce¡­¡± ¡°Sure! Give me the papers¡­¡± Before Madam Jiang could finish speaking, a sinister voice sounded from behind. ¡°Who said I wanted a divorce?¡± Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu turned around and were shocked to see Jiang Yanshen, especially when he looked at Madam Jiang coldly with eyes as dark as the abyss, as if he wanted to eat her. ¡°Yan, Yanshen¡­ they¡­¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s words were interrupted again. Lin Chaoyan mocked, ¡°Aiyo! I¡¯ve finally seen the rules and upbringing of this wealthy family. We really can¡¯t match up to someone like you.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his dark eyes. The frost in his eyes melted a little, and his tone became gentle. ¡°Auntie, my mother drank too much outside and hence she said some nonsense. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. She just looked at his pale face, and his ears which were unusually red¡­ Was he feeling unwell? Every time he was unwell, his face would turn pale and his ears would turn red. ¡°Jiang Yanshen!¡± Madam Jiang was exasperated. Her biological son did not help her, but helped a shrew from the countryside. Then, Jiang Yanshen looked at her indifferently, he lowered his head and whispered something into her ear. His voice was very low, and only the two of them could hear it. Upon hearing it, Madam Jiang¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and uncontroble fear surged in her eyes. After saying that, Jiang Yanshen straightened his back with a cold and abstinent expression. Madam Jiang¡¯splicated and obscure gaze darted between Jiang Yanshen and Lin Chaoyan a few times. In the end, she didn¡¯t say anything and turned to return to her room. Li Ruzhu did not know what Jiang Yanshen had said. When she saw Madam Jiang return to her room, she hurriedly chased after her. ¡°Auntie¡­¡± After they left, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°Auntie, rest early.¡± Before Lin Chaoyan could speak, Lin Qingqian spoke first, ¡°There¡¯s no need. Get someone to send Auntie and I to the apartment.¡± Chapter 42 - 42 Wailing Monster 42 Wailing Monster Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he seemed to have thought of something and actually relented. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get the chauffeur to prepare the car.¡± Lin Qingqian was also a little surprised, but she didn¡¯t show it. She turned around and returned to her room to help Auntie pack her things. Lin Chaoyan stood at the side and watched her stuff the things into the ck bag she came with. She said unhappily, ¡°Why are we leaving? I haven¡¯t killed them yet.¡± ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head to look at her, her eyes filled with helplessness. ¡°My marriage with Jiang Yanshen is over. Why should I waste time with these people here?¡± Lin Chaoyan was stunned. She mumbled, ¡°Alright, alright. Auntie shall go with you. It¡¯s not convenient to talk here¡­¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as she lowered her head and continued packing. Fifteen minutester, Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan went downstairs. The chauffeur had already prepared the car. He went forward to take the luggage from Lin Qingqian and ced it in the trunk, along with the local specialties that Lin Chaoyan had brought. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pajamas had already been changed into a set of ck shirt and pants, making his face look even paler. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m sorry for not entertaining you well.¡± Lin Chaoyan pretended to be magnanimous and waved her hand. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m born with a hard life and can¡¯t enjoy good things¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± He sent them to the door and watched them get into the car. When the car was far away, the Cayenne parked under the shade of a tree not far away slowly drove over. Song Qin got out of the car. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and coughed twice. He endured the pain in his stomach and squeezed out three words. ¡°To the hospital.¡± ¡­ . The apartment had been empty for a few days. Although there was no dust, Lin Qingqian still tidied up and changed the bedsheets and nkets in the guest room for her Auntie to rest first. When she returned to her room, she took a shower andy on the bed. She closed her eyes and her mind was filled with Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pale face. She could not get it out of her mind. She was very sure that she no longer had any love for Jiang Yanshen in her heart, but after seven years of rtionship, her subconscious concern and habitual care were deeply embedded in her bones. If she wanted topletely get rid of the feelings, it would still take a long, long time. Irritated, she pulled up the nket to cover her head and flipped around on the bed. She could not help but kick her legs. ¡°Dog of a man¡­¡± ¡ªAnnoying! The next day, when Lin Qingqian woke up, she ate the millet porridge, steamed buns, and refreshing side dishes that her Auntie had made in the morning. Lin Chaoyan was used to working. She quickly tidied up the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and did not let her touch them. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to pack up the other things, the doorbell suddenly rang. Song Qin was standing at the door in a rose-red professional suit. When she saw Lin Qingqian, she immediately revealed a professional smile. ¡°Good morning, Madam!¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and did not say anything. ¡°Madam, I brought breakfast for you and Madam Lin.¡± Song Qin handed a bag to her. Lin Qingqian did not take it. ¡°Thank you, but we¡¯ve already eaten.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Song Qin retracted her hand in embarrassment, thinking that Lu Yuanyuan, that bastard, was indeed not lying to her. The Madam was very difficult to serve!! ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Seeing that she was silent, Lin Qingqian took the initiative to ask. Song Qin¡¯s eyes lit up and she hurriedly said, ¡°Madam, Director Jiang was hospitalizedst night. The doctor asked him to rest well, but he refused to listen, so can you¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian replied decisively, ¡°No!¡± Song Qin: ¡°¡­ Wuwuwu.¡± I haven¡¯t even finished speaking! Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± You¡¯re a strong woman, so don¡¯t pretend to be a wailing monster!!! Chapter 43 - 43 Visiting Is Fake, Watching a Joke Is Real 43 Visiting Is Fake, Watching a Joke Is Real In the hospital, in the ward. Jiang Yan sat on the hospital bed with one hand linked to an IV drip and the other holding a pen to sign a document. Lu Qinshang sat by the window. His beautiful face was bathed in the morning light as he yed with an apple in his hand. He supported his cheek with one hand and teased, ¡°This Lin Qingqian really dares to run away from the marriage. I¡¯m starting to admire her.¡± He had gone overseas to shoot an advertisement and had just returned when he found out about Lin Qingqian¡¯s escape. Jiang Yan put away the document and nced at him coldly with his dark eyes. ¡°Are you very free?¡± Realizing that he was in a bad mood, Lu Qinshang immediately exined, ¡°I heard from Ah Ci that you were hospitalized, so I specially came to visit you!¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and ignored him. The visit was fake, but the intention to witness a joke was real. As soon as Jiang Yanshen lowered his head, a smile appeared in Lu Qinshang¡¯s long and narrow eyes. ¡°I heard that your arm was injured to save her, But she wasn¡¯t touched and didn¡¯t offer herself to you again?¡± Offer herself? It was already good enough that she did not stab him with a knife. Jiang Yanshen looked at the document and said without looking up, ¡°Does your old man know that you¡¯re so free?¡± At the mention of his father, Lu Qinshang immediately sat up straight and ced the apple back on the fruit te. He said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m very busy, especially busy. I¡¯m going to record a show now. Goodbye, there¡¯s no need to send me off!¡± With that, he stood up and left the ward without looking back! Gu Xici walked in with a fruit basket in his hand. His eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°Why did you scare Qinshang again? I just bumped into him and he looked like there was a ghost chasing after him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied concisely. Gu Xici put down the fruit basket and walked forward to take the document from his hand and put it aside. ¡°Don¡¯t work anymore. Your health is important.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at him and finally put the cap on the pen. He changed the topic and said, ¡°How¡¯s it going in Jiang City?¡± Gu Xici pulled out a chair beside him and sat down. ¡°The fire was caused by two university students. They didn¡¯t have time to run away and burned themselves to death. Two firefighters suffered moderate burns to control the fire.¡± He paused and nced at his arm. ¡°You and Lin Qingqian are considered lucky.¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment before saying calmly, ¡°Help me donate two million yuan to a charity in this area.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s thin lips twitched. ¡°I thank you on their behalf.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He only lowered his head and coughed. At first, it was a slight cough, but the more he coughed, the heavier it became. His face was stained with an abnormal red. Gu Xici got up and poured a ss of warm water for him. ¡°Why are you coughing so badly? What did the doctor say?¡± He was coughing too badly and could not drink the water. Gu Xici put the cup aside and reached out to pat his back to calm him down. Jiang Yanshen finally stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Gu Xici¡¯s calloused fingers covered his forehead. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever again, right?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Just as Jiang Yanshen opened his mouth, his voice paused. He looked at the door of the ward, surprise shing across his eyes. Lin Qingqian and Song Qin were also stunned, especially Song Qin. Her eyes and mouth widened in surprise, as if she had discovered a shocking secret! ¡ªOh my god, I originally wanted to invite Madam to persuade Director Jiang, but now¡­ She suddenly wanted to swap ces with Lu Yuanyuan. Ennd was quite good too. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever.¡± Gu Xici put down his hand and suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right. He turned around and saw the two women at the door of the ward. For a moment, the four of them looked at each other without saying anything. Song Qin realized something and immediately covered her mouth. She blinked. ¡°I don¡¯t know anything. I won¡¯t say anything. I¡¯m just passing by.¡± Then, she turned around and ran. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Since Mr. Gu is taking care of you, please ask your secretary not to look for me anymore.¡± She really did not want toe, but she could not stop Song Qin who stood outside her door crying¡­ Chapter 44 - 44 Was She Cheated into Marriage? 44 Was She Cheated into Marriage? However, she did not expect to see such a scene. Her mind buzzed as she subconsciously thought of a very serious problem¡ª Was she tricked into marriage? Jiang Yanshen was a person who did not like to have intimate contact with others. In the past, he had only dared to hold his hand after half a year of gradual progress¡­ He did not seem to have such scruples with Gu Xici. Moreover¡­pared to Lu Qinshang, he was indeed closer to Gu Xici. Gu Xici did not know what they were thinking and said calmly, ¡°Since you¡¯re here, I¡¯ll leave him to you. There are still many things to do in the police station. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± The image of the Empress reprimanding the concubines immediately appeared in her mind. After Gu Xici and Song Qin left, only the two of them were left in the ward. It was especially quiet and¡­ strange. Lin Qingqian stood at the door, her clear eyes filled with doubt and the novelty of a new world being opened! ¡°You n to stand there forever?¡± Jiang Yan pursed his thin lips and paused. ¡°I didn¡¯t know Song Qin would look for you.¡± However, even if he knew, he would not stop it. Lin Qingqian walked in and ced the thermos on the bedside table. ¡°I brought some porridge. Do you want to eat it now?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her. ¡°Auntie made it?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him as if to say, ¡°Do you think that¡¯s possible?¡± If her Auntie poisoned him with arsenic, everything would be over. Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and rejected her directly. ¡°Not eating.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that his taste buds were very picky, and very few things sold outside could enter his mouth. ¡°I made it.¡± Jiang Yanshen immediately said, ¡°My stomach feels a little ufortable. I¡¯ll feel better after eating some porridge.¡± He looked serious, as if that was really the case. Lin Qingqian could not be bothered to expose him. She went to the small kitchen to get a bowl and spoon, poured the porridge into the bowl, and handed it to him. Then, she went to wash the thermos and fruits. When she came out, Jiang Yanshen had already finished his porridge. He watched her with his dark eyes as she cleaned up quietly, looking thoughtful. Lin Qingqian washed the bowl again, cut the fruits, and ced them at the head of his bed. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°Are youing back to see me tonight?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s answer was very straightforward. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that I won¡¯t be able to help but give you arsenic.¡± With that, she carried the thermos and left. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes followed her back as the light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer. In the end, it was as if thest light in the world had been turned off. It was dark. He didn¡¯t expect that some things that he didn¡¯t care about in the past could be the sharpest knife in the world that could send him into an abyss of eternal damnation. After a moment, a weak voice came from the door. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± Song Qin looked very careful. As if in the next second, she was about to be sent to the border province in despair. ¡°I, I didn¡¯t know Young Master Gu was here. I just¡­¡± She just wanted to create some opportunities for him and the Madam. Of course, she could also consolidate my position at the same time. This way, Lu Yuanyuan won¡¯t be able toe back in the future. She¡¯ll be Director Jiang¡¯s most trusted subordinate. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was indifferent as he said calmly, ¡°Go back.¡± Song Qin¡¯s eyes lit up. Director Jiang didn¡¯t me her for acting on her own? ¡°Then, Director Jiang, rest well.¡± With that, she turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen suddenly stopped her and said in a low voice, ¡°Help me make a trip to Jiang City.¡± ...... Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t go to the hospital to see Jiang Yanshen again, and Song Qin didn¡¯te over to wail at her door again. Four days passed peacefully. On Saturday, she went downstairs to throw out the trash and saw a ck Cayenne parked at the door. Jiang Yanshen was sitting in the car in a ck suit with a notebook on hisp, as if he was dealing with something. Song Qin stood at the door of the car. When she saw her, she immediately said respectfully, ¡°Madam¡­¡± Chapter 45 - 45 Grandma Is Back 45 Grandma Is Back Jiang Yanshen paused when he heard the sound. His well-defined fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times before he closed theputer and got out of the car. When he saw Lin Qingqian, he was clearly stunned. Then, he said in an indescribable tone, ¡°You usually go downstairs dressed like this?¡± Lin Qingqian looked down at the long white T-shirt she was wearing. There was a pink Peppa printed on her chest that reached her thighs. She was wearing ck sandals and looked very casual and at home. ¡°I¡¯m just here to throw out the trash. Do I have to change into an evening gown first?¡± !! In the past, she had always paid attention to her image in front of him. She would definitely not be sloppy, and her taste in clothes was all ording to his preferences. Now¡­ Hehe, as long as I¡¯m happy. Jiang Yanshen was speechless for a moment. He suppressed the urge to carry her upstairs and take off her childish clothes. He said in a low voice, ¡°Go up and change your clothes. Come back with me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going back!¡± Lin Qingqian rejected without thinking. Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes. ¡°Grandma is back.¡± Lin Qingqian paused in her actions of throwing the trash aside. She did not hesitate for long and said indifferently, ¡°Alright.¡± If there was anything else in the Jiang family that was worth her attention, it would be Grandma Jiang. Back then, it was Grandma Jiang who personally brought her to Lan City and brought her into the Jiang family. She took care of her meticulously. No matter how mean Madam Jiang was or how much of a bastard Jiang Yanshen was, she would not erase Grandma Jiang¡¯s kindness in her heart. ¡­ . Because the olddy had returned, the atmosphere in the Jiang family had be especially lively. The servants were also much more diligent than usual and worked much harder. Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen upstairs and walked to the door of Old Madam Jiang¡¯s room. The door was not closed, and Madam Jiang¡¯s voice came from inside. ¡°Mom, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite glutinous rice with duck. You must eat more tonight.¡± ¡°Alright, thank you.¡± The calm and weathered voice belonged to Old Madam Jiang. Jiang Yanshen walked into the room, his calm voice filled with respect. ¡°Grandma, Qianqian is here.¡± The olddy, who was originally looking down listlessly, immediately perked up. ¡°Qianqian is here? Come,e to Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian walked forward with an obedient smile. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Old Madam Jiang held her hand. ¡°Why are you standing so far away? Come closer and let Grandma take a good look.¡± With this pull, she pulled Lin Qingqian in front of her and pushed away Madam Jiang, who was originally sitting at the side. Madam Jiang could not re up even if she was unhappy, so she could only endure it and stand aside. Old Madam Jiang sized up Lin Qingqian carefully, her deep eyes filled with love. ¡°You seem to have lost weight.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that Grandma hasn¡¯t seen me for too long and dotes on me too much, so it looks like I¡¯ve lost weight.¡± Old Madam Jiang, who had never smiled in front of Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu, revealed a benevolent smile. ¡°You¡¯re Grandma¡¯s good granddaughter-inw. If Grandma doesn¡¯t dote on you, who will?¡± Her wrinkled hand held Lin Qingqian¡¯s tightly, and the concern and love in her expression and words came from the bottom of her heart. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu, who were standing at the side, were even more unhappy. ¡°Alright, Qianqian will apany me here. Go and do your work.¡± Old Madam Jiang chased them away. ¡°Mother¡­¡± Madam Jiang was worried that Lin Qingqian would speak nonsense in front of the olddy and did not want them to be alone. However, just as she opened her mouth, the olddy slowly looked up and nced at her. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Madam Jiang met her gaze and her heart trembled. The smile on her face was a little unnatural. ¡°No, no. Then Ruzhu and I will go out first.¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded and nced at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°You go out too.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Lin Qingqian before leaving. After they left, Old Madam Jiang¡¯s easy-going expression immediately disappeared. She asked seriously, ¡°Did you quarrel with Yanshen?¡± Chapter 46 - 46 He Just… Doesn’t Love Me 46 He Just¡­ Doesn¡¯t Love Me ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by the olddy. ¡°Don¡¯t try to fool Grandma. I¡¯m old, but I¡¯m not muddle-headed yet.¡± From the moment she entered, she could tell that the two of them were different from before, especially since this girl¡¯s sparkling eyes were not glued to Jiang Yanshen anymore. Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment before saying softly, ¡°Grandma, I want to divorce Jiang Yanshen.¡± !! The olddy was stunned. ¡°What did you say?¡± Her weathered eyes stared at her, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. Lin Qingqian stood up and stood in front of her. She lowered her head and said firmly, ¡°Grandma, Jiang Yanshen doesn¡¯t love me. There¡¯s no point in us being tied together like this, so¡­¡± She paused and looked at her pleadingly. ¡°Grandma, please agree to my divorce with Jiang Yanshen.¡± The olddy did not agree immediately. Instead, she stood up and held her hand with an anxious expression. ¡°Why would you get a divorce for no reason? Did that brat Yanshen bully you? If he bullied you, tell Grandma. Grandma will help you teach him a lesson.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­ He didn¡¯t bully me.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head gently, her tone extremely faint. ¡°He just¡­ doesn¡¯t love me.¡± The olddy was stunned. She lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She pulled her hand and let her sit first. She turned around and shouted at the door, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, get in here.¡± The next second, the door was pushed open and Jiang Yanshen walked in. Before he could reach her, he heard the olddy shout, ¡°Kneel.¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned. He nced at Lin Qingqian, who was sitting on the sofa, and knelt down obediently. Lin Qingqian did not expect Grandma to be so angry. She wanted to get up but was pressed back by the olddy. ¡°Sit.¡± The olddy turned to re at Jiang Yanshen and said fiercely, ¡°Let me ask you, did you bully Qianqian?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Lin Qingqian again and replied, ¡°No.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!¡± The olddy swung her walking stick at his back. ¡°If you didn¡¯t bully her, would she want to divorce you?¡± This strike was very firm. Jiang Yanshen frowned in pain, but his tone was still calm. ¡°I won¡¯t agree to the divorce.¡± When the olddy heard this, her eyes darted between the two of them. After a moment, she muttered, ¡°Get lost and kneel in the ancestral hall. Reflect on yourself.¡± ¡°Yes, Grandma.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and left. The olddy sat down again and held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand. She said earnestly, ¡°Qianqian, I know that Yanshen isn¡¯t gentle enough and isn¡¯t considerate, but you¡¯re a married couple after all. Isn¡¯t this how all young couples stumble through life?¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was about to speak when she was interrupted by the old Grandma. ¡°Yanshen brought me back this time for your wedding. I know that his mother usually doesn¡¯t treat you well, and that Li Ruzhu has been living in the Jiang Family and people are gossiping, so I¡¯ve thought about it¡­¡± The olddy paused and took a deep breath. ¡°After the wedding, Yanshen will move out and live alone. He has a lot of businesses under his name. Pick a property you like and move over. As for Yanshen, I¡¯ll also get him to take time out to apany you more!¡± Lin Qingqian fell silent. Grandma¡­ did not agree to her divorce with Jiang Yanshen. The olddy looked at her with love in her eyes and said earnestly, ¡°I know you¡¯ve suffered a lot. If Yanshen treats you badly in the future, tell Grandma. Grandma will definitely stand up for you.¡± Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. It was human nature for the olddy to dote on her grandson. She had expected it, so she was not disappointed, but¡ª In that case, she only had onest path left. Chapter 47 - 47 First Love 47 First Love Lin Qingqian tactfully rejected the olddy¡¯s good intentions of asking her to stay for dinner, saying that her Auntie had already prepared dinner and was waiting for her to go back. The olddy had already heard about Lin Chaoyan¡¯s matter, so she did not force her to stay. After she left, she got someone to call Madam Zhang in. ¡°Old Madam.¡± Madam Zhang was respectful in front of the olddy. The olddy sat on the sofa with her hands on her walking stick and stared at her sharply. ¡°Let me ask you, what exactly happened while I was away?¡± !! ¡°No, nothing happened!¡± Madam Zhang looked confused. ¡°If nothing happened, why would Qianqian want a divorce?¡± The olddy snorted. Madam Zhang was the spy she had left in the Jiang family to help her keep an eye on Li Gun, lest she bullied Qianqian without her even knowing it. Madam Zhang rolled her eyes and spread her hands helplessly. ¡°Old Madam, nothing really happened. Usually, the Madam would at most mock her and make things difficult for her. You know that as well.¡± The olddy stared at her with her sharp eyes for a long time before waving her hand. ¡°Got it. Carry on with your work.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Madam Zhang replied and turned to leave. The olddy sat on the sofa and pondered for a long time. She stood up and walked out of the room with her walking stick. In the Jiang family¡¯s ancestral hall. Jiang Yanshen knelt in front of the memorial tablet of the Jiang Family¡¯s ancestors in a suit. There were three incense sticks in the incense burner in front of the memorial tablet, burning quietly and floating with white mist. The olddy walked in with her walking stick. She first burned incense and paid her respects to her ancestors, then turned around and nced sideways at the man kneeling on the ground. She snorted. ¡°Do you know why Qianqian wants to divorce you?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± The olddy was so angry at his matter-of-fact attitude that she wanted to poke his wooden head with her walking stick. ¡°Are you trying to anger me to death?¡± This b*stard did not even know why his wife wanted a divorce. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly, his low voice filled with helplessness. ¡°Grandma, I don¡¯t know why she wants a divorce, but I won¡¯t agree to the divorce.¡± The olddy had just raised her eyebrows when she heard him continue, ¡°When she liked me, I had to marry her. Now that she doesn¡¯t like me, I have to give her a divorce. I, Jiang Yanshen, am not so easy to dismiss.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± The olddy waved her walking stick at his back angrily. ¡°You b*stard, what nonsense are you saying!¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and pursed his thin lips into a straight line without saying anything. The olddy lowered her head and scolded angrily, ¡°Do you really think I forced you to marry Qianqian to make up for what I owed her grandfather back then? Don¡¯t I know what kind of person you are? If you miss out on a good girl like Qianqian, who else can you marry in your life?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and listened to her continue scolding him. ¡°You don¡¯t know how to cherish her and still dare to be so unreasonable! Why don¡¯t you go to heaven! I¡¯m telling you now, move out and live with Qianqian alone after the wedding. Your mother and Li Ruzhu are not allowed to disturb Qianqian anymore. Do you hear me?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyshes fluttered as he looked at her and nodded. ¡°Got it.¡± The olddy took a deep breath and let out a long sigh. ¡°I don¡¯t have many years left to live. You have to treat Qianqian well. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have the face to see Yuanshan when I go down.¡± Lin Yuanshan was Lin Qingqian¡¯s grandfather and also Old Madam¡¯s¡­ first love. Unfortunately, that era was too bitter. People were like duckweed. Once they parted, it was forever. They would never meet again in life and only missed each other. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°I understand, Grandma.¡± The olddy¡¯s eyes were filled with longing for her old friend and lingering guilt. She looked down at him and snorted. ¡°Go back and reflect. Don¡¯t be an eyesore to the ancestors here.¡± Her words were filled with disdain, but she still doted on her grandson. Jiang Yanshen stood up and left the ancestral hall. The olddy turned to look at her son¡¯s memorial tablet and didn¡¯t say anything. She only let out a long sigh¡­ Chapter 48 - 48 Everyone’s Heart Is Biased 48 Everyone¡¯s Heart Is Biased As soon as Lin Qingqian returned to the apartment and entered, Lin Chaoyan came up and asked, ¡°What did the Old Madam say?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her and shook her head gently. Disappointment immediately appeared on Lin Chaoyan¡¯s face. ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. The human heart is biased. How can the olddy not be biased towards her grandson?¡± ¡°Auntie.¡± Lin Qingqian held her arm. ¡°Grandma has her own thoughts.¡± How could Lin Chaoyan not hear the protectiveness in her words towards the olddy? She sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m just worried about you. If you can¡¯t get a divorce¡­¡± Thinking of those people from the Jiang Family, she could not help but sigh. Lin Qingqian helped her sit down at the dining table and opened the bowls on the tes one by one. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t worry. I know what to do.¡± Lin Chaoyan knew that she had an idea, so she didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°Let¡¯s eat. I made your favorite stir-fried meat.¡± ¡­ . Since Old Madam Jiang was back, this also meant that the wedding date was getting closer and closer. Even the biggest gossip in the industry recently was that Jiang Yanshen was getting married to the country bumpkin who had chased after him for four years. Yan Sui sent a WeChat message tofort her. Jiang Yanshen did not make things difficult for her when she helped Lin Qingqian get a fake identity card previously. No matter what was said online or what the people in the industry said, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart was very calm. She did not refute or n to escape. Firstly, Jiang Yanshen had recently arranged twice as many bodyguards near the apartment, so there was no chance. Secondly, even if she ran to the ends of the world, with Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ability, it wouldn¡¯t take him more than two years to find her. It was a fool¡¯s dream to hope to live separately for two years, leaving only thest path to take. But this path¡­ When Lin Qingqian thought of Grandma, she could not help but feel guilty and unable to bear it. After what happenedst time, no matter how much Madam Jiang did not want Jiang Yanshen to hold the wedding, she could only go along with him. Li Ruzhu, on the other hand, was angry and threw a tantrum for a few days. Madam Jiang persuaded her for a few days and asked her to endure it. If she waited a while, they could still get a divorce after getting married, if not, when the Old Madam left Lan City, she would definitely think of a way to let her be with Yanshen. Li Ruzhu had heard these words for many years and was tired of it. However, she had no choice but to rely on Madam Jiang¡¯s arrangements in the Jiang family, so she could only endure this resentment for the time being. ¡­ . At night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight quietly enveloped the mortal world, and the lights at night shone silently. Old Madam Jiang had eaten dinner early and rested. After waking up from a nap, she felt thirsty and got up to pour some water to drink. The kettle was empty, and the servant had probably missed it. She picked up her cup and walked out of the room. Before she could take two steps, she heard a very low voiceing from the bend in the corridor¡ª ¡°Didn¡¯t I give you 300,000 previously? Why do you want another 300,000?¡± ¡°That 300,000 yuan was to prevent me from calling the Old Madam and spilling everything. This time, when the Old Madam came back and personally asked me to go over for questioning, I answered ording to your wishes.¡± The olddy immediately recognized that it was Madam Zhang¡¯s voice and her body froze. ¡°Moreover, my daughter is about to give birth and wants to live in a better confinement center¡­¡± Madam Zhang¡¯s voice sounded again with a hint of ttery. ¡°Madam, look¡­¡± ¡°Alright, alright, this is thest time.¡± Madam Jiang said impatiently, ¡°Follow me¡­¡± ¡°Heh, thank you, Madam!¡± Madam Zhang immediately smiled and said as she walked, ¡°Madam, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t say anything to the Old Madam in the future¡­¡± The olddy stood rooted to the ground in a daze. As she heard their voices getting further and further away, she felt her entire body turn extremely cold. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground¡­ Chapter 49 - 49 As Long as He’s Not Willing, No One Can Change His Decision 49 As Long as He¡¯s Not Willing, No One Can Change His Decision When Lin Qingqian received the call and rushed to the hospital, the olddy had already been transferred from the emergency department to the ward. Jiang Yanshen, Madam Jiang, and Li Ruzhu were all there. A few servants from the Jiang Family were also there, filling most of the ward. The olddy said in low spirits, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Go back¡­¡± ¡°Mother, you¡­¡± Madam Jiang wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by the olddy. ¡°I said, go back.¡± Although the olddy was not in good spirits, her gaze was as cold as a knife when she looked at Madam Jiang, making Madam Jiang¡¯s heart tremble. She swallowed the words that were in her throat and said a few words of concern before pulling Li Ruzhu¡¯s sleeve and going out. When she turned around and saw Lin Qingqian standing at the door of the ward, a trace of disdain shed across her eyes. She ignored her existence and walked out. ¡°Qianqian is here?¡± When the olddy saw Lin Qingqian, her expression instantly softened. Lin Qingqian walked to the bed, her eyes clear as she asked with concern, ¡°Grandma, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just identally sprained my ankle. I¡¯ll be fine in two days.¡± The olddy revealed a gentle smile. She paused and said to her grandson, who was standing at the side, ¡°You should go back too. Qianqian is enough to apany me here.¡± Jiang Yanshen was wearing a ck suit. Be it the cor or cufflinks, they were buttoned up meticulously. However, his tie was a little crooked. It was obvious that he was anxious when he rushed over. His dark eyes swept towards Lin Qingqian. When he passed by her, he stopped in his tracks and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, ¡°I¡¯ll leave Grandma in your care.¡± Lin Qingqian did not speak, but the olddy stretched out her hand to her. ¡°Come,e to Grandma and talk.¡± Lin Qingqian held her wrinkled hand that was like a withered old tree trunk without any moisture and sat down in front of the bed. ¡°Grandma.¡± Old Madam Jiang looked at her and smiled, her eyes filled with disappointment. ¡°In the blink of an eye, you¡¯ve already grown so big. Yuanshan also passed away seven years ago. I still remember that when you first arrived at the Jiang family, your hair was tied into a ponytail. You were wearing a school uniform and carrying a school bag. You were small and thin. Just looking at you makes my heart ache.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s right. I remember that at that time, Grandma asked the kitchen to cook delicious food for me every day. In the end, my nose bled in less than two days. I went to the hospital to see the doctor and they said that the food was too nourishing.¡± The two of them looked at each other for a few seconds andughed in unison. The olddy rubbed her porcin-white hand and said earnestly, ¡°I owe your grandfather my entire life. It wasn¡¯t easy for me to find him, but I didn¡¯t expect to be separated from him forever. I only wanted topensate you with everything I owed him, but I didn¡¯t think if this was what you wanted.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Just as Lin Qingqian opened her mouth, the olddy shook her head gently, indicating for her not to say anything. ¡°Grandma didn¡¯t let you divorce Yanshen because of Grandma¡¯s selfishness. Because I know that if he let you go, no one will treat him as well as you do.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and said indifferently, ¡°He¡¯s very good. In the future, there will be many very good girls who will love him.¡± The olddy shook her head. ¡°Qianqian, you don¡¯t understand. Yanshen¡­ has a much harder life than anyone else. Back then, his parents were engaged by marriage and hated each other. They didn¡¯t give Yanshen much love when they gave birth to him. And what about me?¡± The olddy closed her eyes to hide her guilt and sighed. ¡°I only taught him how to survive in such a wealthy family. I never cared about what he was thinking, causing him to be stubborn, arrogant, and never cared about the feelings of others. You don¡¯t know how happy I was when I found out that you liked Yanshen.¡± To put it nicely, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s personality was arrogant and conceited. To put it bluntly, it was twisted. He did not care about the thoughts and feelings of the people around him and did not listen to any suggestions from the people around him. He was like a high and mighty king who was used to ruling the life and death of others and could not tolerate any disobedience. She could still tolerate being by such a person¡¯s side at first, but after a long time, anyone would eventually explode. Even Lin Qingqian, who loved Jiang Yan deeply, was no exception. ¡°I know that feelings can¡¯t be discussed in front of others, but I also know Yanshen¡­¡± The olddy looked at her with her deep eyes. ¡°As long as he¡¯s unwilling, no one can change his decision.¡± Chapter 50 - 50 If We Can’t Be A Married Couple, We Can Still Be Friends 50 If We Can¡¯t Be A Married Couple, We Can Still Be Friends Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled. Why did Grandma suddenly tell her this? The olddy¡¯s loving gaze shifted from her face to her porcin-white hand. Her thin fingers rubbed gently as she said earnestly, ¡°If your grandfather was still around, he would definitely be very happy to see you in a wedding dress. But if he finds out that you¡¯ve suffered so much in the Jiang family, he¡¯ll probably hate me to death. Qianqian, promise Grandma that you¡¯ll be a beautiful bride and let Grandma watch you and Yanshen walk the red carpet with my own eyes, okay?¡± Doubts shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes. She felt that there was a hidden meaning in Grandma¡¯s words, but she was afraid that she was thinking too much. ¡°Grandma, you¡­¡± She wanted to say something but hesitated. The olddy let go of her hand and patted it gently twice,forting her silently. ¡°Grandma is fine. Grandma is just a little emotional for a moment. There¡¯s nothing else. Go back.¡± ¡°Do you really not need me to stay behind to apany you?¡± Lin Qingqian was a little worried, feeling that her condition was not right. ¡°There¡¯s no need. There are doctors and nurses here. Go back and rest quickly. If you don¡¯t rest well in the hospital, you won¡¯t be able to be a beautiful bride.¡± Seeing that her attitude was firm, Lin Qingqian did not insist anymore. She got up and tucked her in. ¡°Then, Grandma, I will go back first. I¡¯lle and see you tomorrow.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need toe. Rest well and wait to be the most beautiful bride,¡± Grandma said in a low voice. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Alright, bye, Grandma.¡± Just as she was about to turn around and leave, the olddy suddenly called out to her, ¡°Qianqian, if¡­ if Yanshen faces any difficulties in the future, can you help him on ount of Grandma?¡± Confusion shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°He¡¯s the only son of the Jiang Family and the President of Tianyue. How can I help him in any difficulties?¡± Grandma¡¯s words were too strange. The olddy did not exin further and only sighed softly. ¡°No matter how strong a person is, they have their weaknesses. I just don¡¯t want to see that one day¡­ when he¡¯s in trouble, there¡¯s no one around to sincerely care about him orfort him.¡± ¡°Grandma, such a day won¡¯te. Even if there is¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian paused. ¡°We were together once. As long as it¡¯s within my ability, I won¡¯t stand by and do nothing.¡± Perhaps Grandma was just worried about Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian did not want to disappoint her, and¡­ even if such a day really came, she would not stand by and do nothing. If they couldn¡¯t be husband and wife, they could still be friends, as long as Jiang Yanshen wasn¡¯t such a dog¡­ Hearing her words, a trace of relief appeared in the olddy¡¯s eyes. She nodded. ¡°Grandma understands. Go ahead.¡± When Lin Qingqian walked out of the ward, she saw the man¡¯s tall figure standing by the wall. He was holding a cell phone and talking on the phone. When he saw hering out from the corner of his eye, he cut the call immediately. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back,¡± he said as he walked up to her. ¡°No need. I¡¯ll call a car.¡± She took out her phone. The ride she ordered had already been epted. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes swept across the phone screen. In the next second, he took her phone away and quickly clicked to cancel the itinerary. He returned the cell phone to her and said in a tone that did not leave any room for negotiation, ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen did not ask the chauffeur to send them back. Instead, he took the car keys and drove personally. The entire journey was silent until the car stopped at the apartment. Jiang Yanshen turned around and wanted to help her unbuckle her seatbelt, but Lin Qingqian was even faster and quickly unbuckled her seatbelt to get out of the car. Jiang Yanshen frowned and got out of the car to look at her back. ¡°Qianqian.¡± Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. The moonlight was like a flower, pouring down on his body as if he was wearing a luxurious robe. He was extraordinarily handsome. He was like a celestial being. ¡°Where do you want to go for your honeymoon after the wedding?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved, and his voice was calm, as if he was dealing with something. ¡°I¡¯ll get Song Qin to arrange it.¡± Chapter 52 - 52 Are You Disappointed? 52 Are You Disappointed? Yan Sui: ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re so rebellious.¡± She paused for a moment before her eyes lit up. ¡°But I like it when you¡¯re rebellious. Tell me, what do you want to do?¡± Lin Qingqian took the cake from her hand and said unhurriedly, ¡°Go find the Manager and get me a brush and paint. Remember, there needs to be red and ck paint, and a pair of scissors.¡± Five minutester, before Lin Qingqian could finish her cake, Yan Sui returned with what she needed. !! Lin Qingqian put down the half-eaten cake and pulled a chair to the front of the wedding dress. She opened the paint box and adjusted the color. Then, she took a paintbrush and started drawing. When she started painting on the wedding dress, Yan Sui did not stay idle either. She had run out to look for pine fluid. The paint would not dry so quickly on its own, so it had to be mixed with pine fluid. This way, it would dry in just a few minutes. It would also prevent the paint from peeling or smudging. Lin Qingqian¡¯s porcin-white fingers were holding a paintbrush as she performed wantonly on the wedding dress. She didn¡¯t notice that the lounge door behind her was ajar, and a tall figure had already been standing outside for an unknown period of time. His ck eyes were filled with ridicule as he stared at the slender back. The corners of his lips curled up into a yful smile¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s wife was an interesting person indeed. Someone hurried over from afar. Just as she was about to speak, he turned his head and made a shushing gesture. The other party understood and lightened his footsteps. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°President Lu, why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± He continued walking. ¡°President Lu¡­ the washroom is over here¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± He turned around without changing his expression and forced himself to maintain his dignity. ¡°I know. I just wanted to see if you would talk too much!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Before the man left, he nced at the woman in the lounge meaningfully, a trace of anticipation shing across his eyes. ¡­ The wedding started on time. Jiang Yanshen stood beside the emcee in a ck high-end suit with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Then, the emcee went through the procedures on stage. After a long exchange of pleasantries, he officially introduced the bride. Li Ruzhu, who was sitting below the stage, had a sinister look in her eyes. She was proud and expectant to see how Lin Qingqian would make a fool of herself. The lights in the banquet hall were all extinguished, leaving only a beam of blue light at the door. The white door slowly opened, and a slender figure entered everyone¡¯s eyes. Everyone was stunned, including Jiang Yanshen. Although the distance was a little far and the light was dim, he could clearly see that the wedding dress Lin Qingqian was wearing was very different from before. The grand and romantic dress was cut off, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs. A red flower bloomed at the waist, making the dress bold and unique. Her long hair was tied up at this moment, revealing her slender neckline and sharp facial features. Although her makeup was light, it was exquisite which made her look more mysterious and cold. Jiang Yanshen had never seen such a beautiful and dazzling Lin Qingqian. For a moment, he was distracted and failed to hear what the emcee was saying. The guests below the stage burst into cheers instantly. Only Li Ruzhu¡¯s round eyes were filled with disbelief and anger! She had clearly cut the wedding dress and sshed red wine on it. How could she¡­ Facing everyone¡¯s gazes, Lin Qingqian was calm andposed. Her gaze gently swept across the crowd and urately met Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes that were filled with hatred. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡ªAre you disappointed? Li Ruzhu met her cold and sharp gaze and instantly lowered her eyes. A cold sting inexplicably traveled through her spine. What did she know? Impossible, she couldn¡¯t possibly know! Chapter 53 - 53 I’m Not Willing 53 I¡¯m Not Willing The emcee invited Jiang Yanshen to stand next to the bride. Under Lu Qinshang¡¯s reminder, Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and walked towards Lin Qingqian with the bouquet. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t have any other elders, so she only had Yan Sui as her bridesmaid. Yan Sui couldn¡¯t help but get excited when she saw Lu Qinshang. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were too many people at the wedding, she would have screamed, ¡°Lu Qinshang, I love you!¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the handsome man walking towards her step by step along the red carpet. Her heart was so calm that there was not a trace of emotion on her face. Perhaps it was because she had hoped for this to happen too many times. After she had hoped for it again and again, and was disappointed again and again, she eventually became numb. Next, Jiang Yanshen handed the bouquet to her and held her hand as they walked to the stage where the emcee was standing. The olddy below the stage was wearing a crimson cheongsam. Her hair wasbed neatly, and she looked at them lovingly. Her eyes were filled withplicated emotions. She seemed to be heartbroken, reluctant, and helpless¡­ Lin Qingqian passed by the olddy¡¯s seat and turned her head to look at her. She pursed her lips and revealed a faint smile. The olddy nodded in response with a smile on her face. She lookedpletely relieved. The two of them walked to the stage and stood face to face ording to the emcee¡¯s request. After the emcee finished speaking, there was a burst of apuse. The emcee asked Jiang Yanshen, ¡°Mr. Jiang Yanshen, are you willing to marry Miss Lin Qingqian and stay with her for the rest of your life?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at Lin Qingqian with a firm gaze. ¡°I¡¯m willing.¡± The emcee then asked Lin Qingqian again, ¡°Miss Lin Qingqian, are you willing to marry Mr. Jiang Yanshen and stay with him for the rest of your life?¡± The entire venue was silent. Every pair of eyesnded on Lin Qingqian. There was anticipation, blessings, jealousy, and naturally, unease. Lin Chaoyan sat at the woman¡¯s banquet table and watched her and Jiang Yanshen swear their oath. If Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t repeatedly reminded her not to do anything and just watch from below, she would have flipped the table. Seeing that it was almost time for Lin Qingqian to take the oath, Lin Chaoyan felt that the chair under her butt was burning hot. She couldn¡¯t sit still anymore¡­ Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Lin Qingqian held the bouquet with both hands. Her expression was calm and did not have the slightest excitement or joy of being a bride. She did not speak for a long time. The atmosphere became a little strange. The guests looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have a premonition, and his cold brows suddenly furrowed. Before he could speak, a clear voice entered everyone¡¯s ears¡ª ¡°I¡ªam¡ªnot¡ªwilling!¡± Immediately, the guests below the stage held their breaths, wondering if they had heard wrongly. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s eyes lit up. Well done!! Yan Sui was dumbfounded. Rejection in public? Qianqian, are you crazy? Lu Qinshang and Gu Xiuci looked at each other in disbelief. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened visibly. He pursed his thin lips, but before he could say anything, he heard Lin Qingqian repeat, ¡°I am not willing.¡± Every word was like andmine thrown to the ground, causing everyone to not dare to speak or even breathe. The emcee was the closest to them and could feel the terrifying cold aura emanating from Jiang Yanshen¡¯s body more than anyone else. He was so scared that he shivered and was about to cry. This was the first time he had seen someone break off a marriage, and it was actually Jiang Yanshen¡¯s wedding. He felt that he might not be able to walk out of the event location alive! Chapter 54 - 54 Master of Ceremonies, Let’s Exchange Rings! 54 Master of Ceremonies, Let¡¯s Exchange Rings! The Jiang family¡¯s status in Lan City was powerful, and Jiang Yanshen was the most respected person in Lan City. No matter who it was, they had to give him face. Today was his wedding day, but the bride broke off the marriage in public. This was undoubtedly a p to the Jiang family and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face. Such an intense and decisive method didn¡¯t leave him a way out at all, nor did it give Jiang Yanshen any chance to redeem himself. Jiang Yanshen knew very well what Lin Qingqian was scheming. He knew that she was using this method to force him to grant her the divorce and everyone was waiting to see him make a fool of himself¡­ However, he still did not intend to get a divorce! His thin lips pursed slightly, and his voice was so tense that every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. ¡°Master of Ceremonies, let¡¯s exchange rings!¡± ¡°Ah¡ª¡± The emcee was dumbfounded. They could still exchange wedding rings at this point? Lin Qingqian frowned and her eyes narrowed slightly. Just as she was about to speak, the olddy below the stage stood up with an agitated expression. ¡°You, what did you say?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her, her eyes filled with apology. ¡°I want to divorce Jiang Yanshen.¡± The olddy¡¯s face was tense. She pondered for a moment and said solemnly, ¡°Today is the Jiang family¡¯s big day. Do you know what your words mean?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips lightly. ¡°Today, I publicly broke off the marriage and made the Jiang family lose all face. The Jiang and Lin families will be enemies because of this!¡± ¡°Since you already know, are you still going to be so stubborn?¡± The olddy questioned in a cold tone. ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian answered without hesitation. ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡± The olddy said good three times in a row. Her face was so dark that it could drip ink. ¡°Since you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, my Jiang family¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen interrupted, ¡°Grandma¡­¡± The olddy red at him. ¡°Since she doesn¡¯t want to be your wife, is our Jiang family supposed to force her?¡± After a pause, she took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, ¡°Since you¡¯ve made up your mind, my Jiang family won¡¯t keep you. On ount of our past rtionship, my Jiang family won¡¯t make things difficult for you in the future, but¡­ in the future, whether you¡¯re doing good or bad, it will have nothing to do with my Jiang family!¡± As soon as thest word fell, the olddy¡¯s body swayed like an autumn leaf, and her eyelids drooped down. In an instant, the surrounding people were shocked and hurriedly reached out to support the olddy. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold expression instantly changed. He instantly rushed off the stage and ran towards the olddy. The scene fell into an extremely noisy and chaotic state. The moment Lin Qingqian saw Grandma faint, she was stunned. She had expected that rejecting the marriage in public would make Grandma angry and disappointed, but she did not expect it to make Grandma faint from anger. The bouquet in her hand fell to the ground. She wanted to go forward and see how Grandma was, but she was blocked by the crowd. Madam Jiang red at her in disgust. ¡°Grandma fainted from anger. Stop pretending!¡± Someone had called for an ambnce so Jiang Yanshen quickly carried Grandma out of the hall. Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang then helped him block the reporters and media outside¡­ Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t seem to hear Madam Jiang¡¯s words. She took off her hair ornament, took off her high heels, and followed barefooted. The other members of the Jiang family also followed behind. As for the guests, they were all busy gossiping. Only the man sitting at the inconspicuous banquet table at the corner was calmly drinking his red wine, his eyes filled with schadenfreude. The secretary beside him asked, ¡°President Lu, aren¡¯t we leaving?¡± The man nced at him. ¡°Why are you rushing me? It¡¯s a pity not to drink such good wine¡­¡± The secretary: ¡°¡­¡± The man put down his wine ss and buttoned up his suit. Before he turned around, he said lightly, ¡°Go and investigate this Lin Qingqian.¡± Chapter 55 - 55 Grandma… 55 Grandma¡­ An hourter, the entrance of the hospital¡¯s emergency room was filled with people. The person standing at the front was Jiang Yanshen, Madam Jiang, Li Ruzhu, and the others. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t feel cold at all when she stepped on the cold floor of the hospital with her bare feet. She looked at the door of the emergency room without blinking. No one knew what was going on inside. Madam Jiang had been standing for a long time, and her legs were a little sore. From the corner of her eye, she nced at Lin Qingqian and then at Jiang Yanshen. Now that things hade to this, he couldn¡¯t possibly still protect this wild girl! ¡°What are you still doing here?¡± Madam Jiang turned to face her and said directly, ¡°You¡¯re not wee here. Please leave.¡± !! Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes fluttered slightly, and her voice was light. ¡°I¡¯ll leave when I see that Grandma is fine.¡± ¡°Stop pretending,¡± Madam Jiang mocked. ¡°Old Madam is here because of you. God forbid, if anything should happen to Old Madam, you¡¯ll be¡­¡± A cold gaze shot towards Madam Jiang. She felt a chill down her spine and realized something. She hurriedly exined, ¡°I¡¯m just saying if¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyes moved from Lin Qingqian to the emergency room calmly and continued to wait. Madam Jiang was interrupted and couldn¡¯t continue. She could only re fiercely at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian was unmoved. After another five minutes, the closed door finally opened and a nurse walked out. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu hurriedly went up and asked nervously, ¡°Nurse, how¡¯s my mother-inw?¡± It seemed like she was more nervous and concerned about the olddy than Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian also took a step forward and held her breath, waiting for the nurse to speak. The nurse didn¡¯t answer them. She nced around and asked, ¡°Who¡¯s Qianqian?¡± An awkward look shed across Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu¡¯s faces. They turned to look at the woman behind them in confusion. Lin Qingqian was still wearing her wedding dress, but the veil had been taken off. Her hair had also fallen down on the way over, and she was barefooted. She looked like a down-and-out princess, but her sorry state could not hide her beauty and temperament. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Qingqian.¡± The nurse couldn¡¯t help but take another look at her. ¡°The patient wants to see you. Come in with me¡­¡± Madam Jiang said, ¡°Hey.¡± But before she could say anything else, Lin Qingqian had already followed the nurse in. ¡°Yanshen, this¡­¡± Madam Jiang looked at her son. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tightly knitted brows slowly rxed, as if he didn¡¯t see them. He took a step back and leaned against the wall, continuing to wait. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. However, the wedding was notpleted. This was something to be happy about. Lin Qingqian walked into the emergency room and saw the olddy lying on the bed. There were all kinds of medical equipment beside her, but they had not been touched. Even the doctor was not around. ¡°Grandma, this¡­¡± She was a little confused, not knowing what was going on. The olddy waved her hand. ¡°Come here. Sit.¡± Lin Qingqian walked to the side of the bed and looked at her. Her eyes were misty and her voice choked when she spoke. ¡°Grandma, are you alright?¡± The Old Madam smiled. ¡°Good child, Grandma is fine. Don¡¯t cry¡­¡± ¡°If you¡¯re fine, why¡ª¡± Her voice stopped abruptly, and surprise shed across her eyes. ¡°Grandma, you pretended to faint to help me¡­¡± ¡°Why? Didn¡¯t you not agree to my divorce with Jiang Yanshen?¡± The olddy held her hand and said reluctantly, ¡°You¡¯re such a good child. I naturally can¡¯t bear to let you divorce Yanshen, but I can¡¯t disregard your happiness for my own grandson.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and muttered, ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Chapter 56 - 56 Lin Qingqian, Congratulations, You Got Your Wish! 56 Lin Qingqian, Congrattions, You Got Your Wish! The olddy looked at her lovingly. ¡°You¡¯re a good child. Yanshen isn¡¯t blessed enough to know how to cherish you.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Now that I helped you get your divorce today, Yanshen will definitely be angry. If he makes things difficult for you in the future, remember to tell Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°He won¡¯t.¡± !! Although she and Jiang Yanshen had walked to this point, she understood and trusted Jiang Yanshen. He wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would take revenge wantonly. After all, she had loved him for seven years. And she knew that he had a good character. Seeing that she was still willing to defend Jiang Yanshen, the olddy couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply and even feel some pity in her heart. Lin Qingqian seemed to know what she was thinking and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandma. I¡¯ve disappointed you.¡± She used to think that she could ignore everything and stay by Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side, waiting day after day, year after year. However, she was a human after all and wasn¡¯t so selfless and noble. She didn¡¯t want to waste any more time waiting for the man to turn around and look at her at some point. She wanted to find her own purpose in life. The olddy said, ¡°You didn¡¯t disappoint me. It was me who let Yuanshan down¡­ I didn¡¯t take good care of you and let you suffer.¡± At the thought of her old friend, the olddy¡¯s expression became sad and ashamed. Although she didn¡¯t know what had happened, Lin Qingqian knew that the olddy definitely knew what had happened to her in the Jiang family. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have suddenly relented and even helped her to get a divorce with Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t say that. I chose this path myself. I don¡¯t regret it!¡± However, if I could do it again, I would definitely not love him again in such a degrading manner. The olddy sighed and held her hand tightly for a while before slowly letting go. ¡°Go back and rest well.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. She stood up and took a few steps before stopping. She turned around and bowed deeply to Grandma. The olddy¡¯s eyes reddened and tears almost fell. She waved her hand. ¡°Go, go¡­ child.¡± Seeing her sad look, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart also became sad. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn¡¯t breathe. She felt extremely ufortable. When she walked out of the emergency room, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu looked at her unhappily. They were disdainful and even jealous. Jiang Yanshen, on the other hand, scanned her up and down. His pitch-ck eyes were like an abyss, containing an unknown danger. Lin Qingqian subconsciously lowered her eyes to avoid his sharp gaze. After a moment of silence, she nced over again and said lightly, ¡°Grandma wants you to go in.¡± With that, she walked away. When he passed by her, Jiang Yanshen suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Even then, his eyes were on the emergency room and not on her. Lin Qingqian tilted her head and looked at his cold side profile when his low and cold voice rang in her ears. ¡°Lin Qingqian, congrattions. You got your wish!¡± Thest four words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart suddenly constricted, and a dull pain emanated. Her red lips curled up slightly, and she said lightly, ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yanshen, who had always been sessful in the business world, had just suffered a huge loss for the first time in his life. He had lost all his face, so it was reasonable for him to be angry. Lin Qingqian felt that she was lucky that he didn¡¯t lose control and strangle her to death.. Jiang Yanshen let go of her hand and walked into the emergency room. Lin Qingqian also turned around and walked towards the elevator. The two of them moved in opposite directions, the distance between them increasing. They were like two rays that would never ovep again. Jiang Yanshen saw that the olddy¡¯s eyes were red, but her expression was fine. The doubts in his heart were confirmed. The anger in his heart grew, and his tone was no longer as respectful as usual. ¡°You were the one who pretended to be sick and forced me to marry her. Even now you are pretending to be sick to force me to divorce her! Grandma, you can skip these steps next time. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡± Chapter 57 - 57 She… Doesn’t Love Me Anymore? 57 She¡­ Doesn¡¯t Love Me Anymore? The olddy knew that he was angry that she had helped Qianqian, so she didn¡¯t argue with him. She just red at him. ¡°Bastard, if you were willing to listen in the first ce, would I have to pretend to faint like this?¡± Couldn¡¯t he understand an olddy like her? She was already so old, but she still had to worry about him. Jiang Yanshen nced at her. ¡°Since you know that I don¡¯t want a divorce, why did you help her?¡± There must be a reason why she suddenly changed her mind. !! The olddy took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ¡°You know that Madam Zhang is my aide, right?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Back then, I went to Jiang City to recuperate and left Madam Zhang in Lan City because I wanted her to help me keep an eye on Li Gun and not let her bully Qianqian. But it turns out that I¡¯ve really underestimated the greed of human nature.¡± The redness in the olddy¡¯s eyes faded, and her gaze became sharp. ¡°Qianqian has suffered too much in the Jiang family. Since you don¡¯t care about her and she doesn¡¯t love you anymore, why must the two of you live as a resentful couple, like your parents?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Something shed across his eyes so quickly that even the olddy did not catch it. His thin lips pursed slightly. ¡°She¡­ doesn¡¯t love me anymore?¡± There was a hint of surprise in his deep voice. Seeing him like that, the olddy was furious. ¡°With your halfwit, pea-brain temper, I wouldn¡¯t love you either! How many times have I told you not to just work and ignore Qianqian? You just wouldn¡¯t listen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows were tightly knitted together. His lowered eyes covered the doubts in his eyes, as if he didn¡¯t know how to ept this fact. From what he knew, Lin Qingqian loved him. She had always loved him and would always love him. Even though he did not know what love was! When he heard the Old Madam say that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t love him anymore, he felt as if he had been hit in the head. His head felt like it was about to split apart, as if something had been forcefully pulled out of his body. The olddy¡¯s heart ached when she saw him looking down and not saying anything. She said in a low voice, ¡°Since things havee to this, just treat it as if you¡¯re not fated to be with her! You¡¯ve granted her wish, so don¡¯t make things difficult for her in the future¡­¡± No matter what the olddy said, Jiang Yanshen kept his head lowered and didn¡¯t speak until the olddy was tired and waved for him to go back. Jiang Yanshen turned around and left. Madam Liu, who had been taking care of the olddy, walked in. ¡°Old Madam, are you alright?¡± The olddy shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just feel sorry for these two children¡­¡± Madam Liuforted her. ¡°They¡¯re still young. No one knows what will happen in the future. They¡¯ll get better over time. You don¡¯t have to worry. You should take good care of your body instead.¡± The olddy smiled mysteriously. ¡°Of course I have to recuperate well. Even if it¡¯s for Yanshen, I have to hold on for a while longer! As long as I¡¯m still breathing, no one can take away the Jiang family¡¯s assets.¡± ¡°Aiyo, who wouldpete with the Young Master for assets?¡± Madam Liuughed at her worry. ¡°Second Young Master admires Young Master so much. He won¡¯t.¡± The olddy nced at her. ¡°Yunshen might not, but what about his second uncle?¡± Madam Liu was stunned and could not refute. When the olddy thought of her second son, her eyes were filled with disgust. A momentter, Madam Liu asked, ¡°Then the butler and Madam Liu¡­¡± Before she could finish, the olddy raised her hand to stop her and said in a low voice, ¡°Deal with them all. I don¡¯t want to see them again.¡± There was nock of sharpness in her tired voice¡­ ¡­ When Lin Qingqian walked out of the hospital, a car stopped by the roadside. Lin Chaoyan got out of the car in a hurry and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her expression. ¡°Are you all right?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°Auntie, why are you here?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve already made the olddy faint from anger. The Jiang family must hate you so much that they¡¯re gritting their teeth. How can I be at ease?!¡± After saying that, Lin Chaoyan saw her shoeless feet and scolded, ¡°You¡¯re not even wearing shoes. What if you prick your feet?¡± As she spoke, she took off her shoes and squatted down to help her put them on¡­ Chapter 58 - 58 Aren’t You All Going Up to See Director Jiang? 58 Aren¡¯t You All Going Up to See Director Jiang? Lin Qingqian was shocked by her actions and quickly dodged. ¡°No need, Auntie, my feet are dirty¡­¡± Lin Chaoyan grabbed her leg and reprimanded her in the tone of an elder, ¡°Why are you dodging me? I even changed your diaper when you were young!¡± ¡°There¡¯s really no need, Auntie.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled her up. Lin Chaoyan was a little impatient. ¡°Child, why are you being so polite to me? It¡¯s just a pair of shoes. I¡¯m used to the rough ground of the countryside. I¡¯m not like a little girl who has delicate skin and tender flesh. Hurry up and wear these shoes¡­¡± Lin Qingqian refused. When the two of them were in a stalemate, Song Qin walked over and called out weakly, ¡°Madam.¡± When Lin Chaoyan heard this, she turned and vented her unhappiness on others. ¡°What do you mean by Madam? Don¡¯t you know that my Qianqian and that person are getting a divorce? Call her Miss Lin now!¡± Song Qin: ¡°¡­¡± She looked at Lin Qingqian aggrievedly. Lin Qingqian tugged at Lin Chaoyan¡¯s sleeve. Although she was unhappy, she didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Secretary Song?¡± ¡°Director Jiang asked me to prepare this.¡± Song Qin handed over the bag in her hand and added, ¡°He even asked me not to tell you!¡± How could she not tell her? Director Jiang really didn¡¯t know how to coax women! Lin Qingqian nced at the logo on the bag. It was a shoe brand. ¡°Thank you, but there¡¯s no need.¡± Song Qin was stunned. ¡°Madam, Director Jiang¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t she say that there¡¯s no need for it?¡± Lin Chaoyan interrupted her. She bent down and picked up the shoes on the ground. She didn¡¯t even bother to wear them back and walked barefooted with Lin Qingqian. ¡°In the future, my Qianqian will have nothing to do with that Jiang guy. We won¡¯t ept a gift for nothing!¡± With that, she dragged Lin Qingqian away. Lin Qingqian nodded slightly, apologizing with her eyes. Song Qin ¡°¡­ Wuwuwu.¡± Madam¡¯s Auntie was so fierce! Lin Qingqian sat by the window. When the car passed by the entrance of the hospital, she saw a man walking out of the hospital. The dazzling sunlight shone on him, but it could not melt the snow on his body. Her heart felt empty for no reason, as if it could no longer be filled. ¡­ Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang rushed to the Jiang residence after receiving Song Qin¡¯s call. Other than Song Qin, who was guarding downstairs, the entire Jiang residence was empty like a haunted house. It was empty, deste, and messy. Lu Qinshang looked at the debris on the ground and frowned. ¡°Ah Yan smashed all of these? This vase is from the Ming Dynasty, right? He really doesn¡¯t feel any heartache at all¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen had a manic disorder. When he lost control of his emotions, he would destroy everything in front of him and even hurt people. Song Qin looked up at him. ¡°Young Master Lu, please don¡¯t make sarcastic remarks. Director Jiang has already locked himself in the study for two hours. No one dares to approach him.¡± After Jiang Yanshen returned to the Jiang residence from the hospital, the moment he entered the house, he started smashing things. When the servants saw his rage, they were so frightened that they dispersed. On the way back, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu received a call from a servant and immediately asked the chauffeur to turn around and go to the beauty salon. Although Song Qin dared toe in, she did not dare to go upstairs. Helpless, she could only call Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici. Gu Xici asked, ¡°Have you informed his psychiatrist?¡± Song Qin nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve already asked Lu Yuan to contact Dr. Shen. He should be on his way.¡± Lu Yuan used to be in charge of these things so she did not have Doctor Shen¡¯s contact information. Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici walked to the sofa and sat down. Neither of them had any intention of going up. They even asked Song Qin to get them a bottle of water. Song Qin looked upstairs and then at them. She asked curiously, ¡°Aren¡¯t you all going up to see Director Jiang?¡± Chapter 59 - 59 Have You Taken Your Medicine? 59 Have You Taken Your Medicine? Gu Xici nced at her and didn¡¯t say anything. On the other hand, Lu Qinshang smiled. ¡°If you¡¯re so concerned about your Director Jiang, why don¡¯t you go up yourself, Warrior Song!¡± The word ¡®warrior¡¯ was filled with mockery. Song Qin looked upstairs again and immediately admitted defeat. ¡°I¡¯ll get you some water.¡± She suddenly realized that it wasn¡¯t so easy to be Director Jiang¡¯s assistant! !! Fifteen minutester, Shen Zhiwei walked into the Jiang family¡¯s vi. She was not surprised to see the mess on the ground. Song Qin immediately went forward. ¡°Doctor Shen?¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°How is Director Jiang?¡± ¡°He is in his study upstairs.¡± Song Qin pointed up. ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Zhiwei stepped on her high heels, avoiding the debris on the ground, and went upstairs. Although she saw the two men sitting in the living room from the corner of her eye, she was worried about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s condition and wasn¡¯t in the mood to greet them. Lu Qinshang saw Shen Zhiwei¡¯s face clearly and could not help but praise her looks. ¡°I heard from Lu Yuan that Ah Yan¡¯s psychiatrist is beautiful. I didn¡¯t expect her to be so beautiful. It¡¯s just that she¡¯s dressed too old-fashioned¡­¡± He liked to see women wearing dresses that revealed their enchanting figures. Gu Xici retracted his attention from the staircase and nced back. ¡°Superficial¡­¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s smile was annoying. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. I¡¯m shallow and you¡¯re noble! Captain Gu is the noblest in the world.¡± Gu Xici couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and looked at the staircase again¡­ Shen Zhiwei walked to the door of the study and knocked on the wooden door with her fair fingers. ¡°Director Jiang, it¡¯s me.¡± The study was silent. No one responded to her. She knocked twice more, but there was still no response. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ming in.¡± The door was unlocked. She slowly pushed it open and was greeted by a mess. Books were scattered on the floor, the coffee table was overturned, the desk fell apart, and theputer was shattered. The man was sitting in a corner of the wall, his hands covered in blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. His face was pale, and his forehead was covered in sweat. His expression was painful and terrifying. Shen Zhiwei closed the door and walked forward with a serious expression. ¡°Have you taken your medicine?¡± The man raised his long eyshes and nced at her coldly without saying anything. Shen Zhiwei¡¯s sharp eyes saw the medicine bottle beside her. She picked it up and realized that it was empty. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me when you finished the medicine?¡± She frowned, her tone filled with dissatisfaction. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that your situation is very special?¡± Fortunately, she had brought more of the medicine before she came. Shen Zhiwei took out a medicine bottle from her handbag, poured out a white pill, and handed it to him. Jiang Yanshen raised his arm, his hand trembling uncontrobly as he took the medicine. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed a few times, and he swallowed the pill without drinking any water. His long eyshes, which were wet with sweat, drooped, and his eyes closed, like an exhausted beast. Shen Zhiwei said, ¡°The medicine can only suppress it for the time being. You won¡¯t be able to suppress it for long.¡± Jiang Yanshen closed his eyes as if he didn¡¯t hear her and Shen Zhiwei didn¡¯t say anything else. The room was terrifyingly quiet for a moment, and only the sound of his breathing could be heard. After an unknown period of time, when Shen Zhiwei¡¯s legs were numb from squatting, Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes. Most of the red blood vessels in his eyes had faded, and his deep voice sounded indifferent. ¡°Go and make the arrangements.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Shen Zhiwei said as she left the medicine bottle to him. She then rubbed her numb leg, got up, and limped out like a cripple. Jiang Yanshen slowly spread out his left hand. In his palmy a silver ring that was stained with mottled blood. The sparkle reflecting from it was almost strange. His thin lips slowly curled up, and his cold smile was filled with deep meaning. Chapter 60 - 60 A Match Made in Heaven 60 A Match Made in Heaven Shen Zhiwei stood upstairs for a while to calm down. When her legs were not so numb anymore, she walked down. However, when she reached thest step in her high heels, she identally twisted her ankle and fell forward. At the critical moment, a tall figure appeared like a gust of wind. Hisrge palm wrapped around her slender waist. Not only did he support her, but he also brought her into his arms. Everything happened quickly and before Shen Zhiwei could react, she heard the man¡¯s low voice. ¡°Are you alright?¡± She raised her head and saw a tough and handsome face. The masculine and charming hormones on the man¡¯s body assaulted her nose. Instantly, something jumped in her left chest. It was very fast and strong! Gu Xici¡¯s warm palm supported her slender waist from behind as he looked at her from a close distance. Her eyes were big, clear, and energetic. Her skin was smooth, and her cherry-red lips were like strawberries waiting to be plucked. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed involuntarily. Shen Zhiwei blinked and reacted. She quickly pushed him away and regained her posture. Lowering her eyes and restraining her emotions, she coughed lightly. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you, Sir.¡± She stole a nce at the other party from the corner of her eye. The other party was more than 1.8 meters tall. Although he was wrapped up in a suit, it was not difficult to notice that his figure was stalwart and the muscles on his arms were very strong. Oh, his face was also her type. Gu Xici looked at her intently. At the thought of something, he quickly retracted his unscrupulous gaze. He then reached out his hand. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Gu Xici, a criminal investigator.¡± Investigator? Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. No wonder he had such a good figure. For some reason, a trace of joy seeped out of her heart. However, she did not show it on her face. She shook his hand reservedly and politely. ¡°Shen Zhiwei, a psychiatrist.¡± The two of them shook hands calmly and were extremely polite. ¡°I still have something on, please excuse me.¡± Shen Zhiwei suppressed her racing heart and said calmly. She was a psychiatrist. She had to maintain her image. She couldn¡¯t call out¡ªMom, I¡¯m in love!!! She could not let anyone know that she wanted to do something indescribable with this man in front of her! Gu Xici¡¯s expression was also calm. ¡°Miss Shen, please go ahead.¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded and turned to walk to the door. She could not help but smile crazily. Gu Xici turned around, his burning eyes glued to her back¡­ Lu Qinshang, who had witnessed everything, narrowed his eyes and imitated his tone. ¡°I¡¯m Gu Xici, a criminal investigator?¡± He then nudged him with his shoulder. ¡°F*ck, are you still the Captain Gu I know?¡± People like them would only be so¡­ formal when they were meeting elders or on important asions. When did Gu Xici learn to speak so politely in private? After the beauty left, Gu Xici retracted his gaze and looked at him disdainfully. ¡°Shut up.¡± Lu Qinshang seemed to have noticed something. A malicious glint shed across his eyes. ¡°Oh¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you fell in love with her at first sight?¡± Gu Xici remained silent. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and puffed. Seeing that he did not retort, Lu Qinshang was even more certain of his guess. ¡°F*ck, do you really like her? What do you like about her? I heard that nine out of ten people who study psychology are perverts¡­ Moreover, the woman is Sherlock Holmes to begin with and Sherlock Holmes is the King of psychology!¡± Lu Qinshang looked at him with a gaze that seemed to say: Are you crazy? Gu Xici, who had been silent for a long time, exhaled a mouthful of white smoke. His deep and hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°She studies psychology while I¡¯m a police officer. She¡¯s a psychopath while I catch psychopaths. No matter what, we can be considered as a match made in heaven!¡± Lu Qinshang ¡°¡­¡± Oh no, Gu Xici was really crazy! Chapter 61 - 61 Director Jiang Was Actually Very Lonely 61 Director Jiang Was Actually Very Lonely After the wedding, Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t seen Jiang Yanshen again. Only Jiang Yanshen¡¯swyer contacted her about the divorce and sent her the electronic file of the divorce agreement. After confirming that there was no problem, he arranged for the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign it. On the day that Lin Qingqian went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to sign the papers, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. It was the same as the day she registered her marriage. Jiang Yanshen had originally given her some assets on the divorce agreement, but Lin Qingqian had gotten thewyer to remove them. Other than the divorce certificate, she didn¡¯t need anything else from Jiang Yanshen. !! At first, thewyer was in a dilemma. After making a call, he followed Lin Qingqian¡¯s wishes and changed it. Then, he handed over the edited divorce agreement. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know how they did it either. Jiang Yanshen wasn¡¯t present, but the people from the Civil Affairs Bureau still approved the divorce certificate. One copy was for her, and the other was for thewyer to bring back. When they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, thewyer said kindly, ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯ll send you off.¡± Lin Qingqian declined politely. ¡°No need, thank you.¡± Thewyer did not insist further. ¡°If there are any problems in the future, Miss Lin can contact me at any time.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Has your Director Jiang been very busy recently?¡± Thewyer was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect her to suddenly mention Director Jiang but he maintained a polite smile on his face. ¡°Director Jiang has always been busy.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard this, her red lips curled up slightly. She looked at the blue sky in the distance and said meaningfully, ¡°Yes, he¡¯s always very busy.¡± He was so busy that he could only get hiswyer to step in for the divorce. Thewyer did not understand what she meant and did not say anything else. After saying goodbye, he left in a hurry. Lin Qingqian stood outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for quite a while, looking at the peopleing and going. Some sweet lovers went in to get married, and some serious-looking couples walked out as if they had been relieved of burden. She lowered her head and looked at the certificate in her hand. Her joy and admiration from the past seven years had only ended with a divorce certificate. Her fair fingers tore the divorce certificate in half and threw it into the recyble trash can. She took a deep breath and let out a long breath. She looked in the direction of the morning sun and smiled. ¡°Goodbye, Jiang Yanshen. Goodbye¡­¡± The Lin Qingqian of seven years ago. ¡­ Thewyer rushed to the VIP lounge at the airport where Jiang Yanshen sat alone. The coffee in front of him had already cooled down. ¡°Director Jiang, this is the divorce certificate.¡± Thewyer ced the documents and the divorce certificate in front of him. ¡°Miss Lin doesn¡¯t want any assets.¡± A woman who had been married to Director Jiang for three years didn¡¯t take anything from the marriage. To be honest, even as awyer, he admired her. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyshes fluttered, and his dark gazended on the divorce certificate. He pursed his lips and remained silent. Thewyer waited for a moment. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he said tactfully, ¡°Director Jiang, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to thepany.¡± Jiang Yanshen still sat there without moving or looking at him. Thewyer turned around to leave the waiting room when Song Qin walked past him with a few documents in her hand. ¡°Director Jiang, these documents urgently need your signature.¡± Song Qin put down the documents and ced them in front of him. From the corner of her eye, she saw a small notebook with the words ¡°Divorce Certificate¡± printed on it on the table. She was instantly stunned. ¡°¡­ Sob.¡± Why didn¡¯t thewyer tell her that Director Jiang had just gotten a divorce?! ¡®Is it toote to take the files away now?¡¯ Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t fly into a rage like Song Qin expected. Instead, he took out a fountain pen from his chest pocket and skillfully signed the documents. ¡°I won¡¯t be in Lan City for the whole of next month. You have full authority to deal with thepany or you can contact Lu Yuan.¡± Song Qin replied, ¡°Understood.¡± Then, the airport broadcast sounded, reminding the flight passengers to start checking in. Jiang Yanshen put away his fountain pen, picked up the divorce certificate on the table, and walked to the boarding gate. Light shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport. From Song Qin¡¯s angle, she looked at his back. It was hazy, tall, and lonely¡­ She suddenly felt that Director Jiang was actually very lonely and pitiful. ¡­ Lin Qingqian took a taxi back to the apartment and saw Lin Chaoyan packing her luggage in the living room. Chapter 62 - 62 Lu Dongcheng 62 Lu Dongcheng When Lin Chaoyan saw her return, she put down her cup and asked, ¡°Is the deed done? Did that Jiang guy make things difficult for you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s done,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Her gazended on the luggage. ¡°Auntie, are you going back to Yushan?¡± Lin Chaoyan replied readily, ¡°Yes, since there¡¯s no issues on your side now, I can go back. The little b*stards at home are still waiting for me to feed them.¡± ¡°Auntie, can you not go back?¡± Lin Qingqian held her hand, feeling very reluctant. ¡°What can I do here if I don¡¯t go back?¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her coquettishly. ¡°Alright, you¡¯re already so old, yet you¡¯re still acting like a child! If you really can¡¯t bear to part with Auntie,e and visit me more often.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and nodded without saying anything. Lin Chaoyan took out a card from the pocket sewn on the inside of her pants and stuffed it into her palm. ¡°I saved 100,000 yuan on the card. I umted it from working and raising pigs all these years. I wanted to give you some dowry so that you would have some confidence in the Jiang family. I didn¡¯t expect¡ª¡± Thinking of the events of the past few days, she could not help but sigh heavily. Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes suddenly widened. When she realized what was going on, she immediately shook her head and stuffed the card back. ¡°Auntie, I can¡¯t take your money.¡± Before she could finish her sentence, her eyes had already turned red. ¡°Child, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± Lin Chaoyan grabbed her hand and stuffed the card into her palm. ¡°I have no children. If I don¡¯t give this money to you, who should I give it to? In the future, Auntie will count on you to take care of me until I die! Or do you not want to see me off when I¡¯m old?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head with all her might. Her gazended on her auntie¡¯s calloused and rough hands, and tears immediately fell. Ever since she came to Lan City, her Auntie had never sent her money again. Every time she called, she would say that since the Jiang family was so rich, they would not treat her badly. She even told her to live well in the Jiang family and not be polite with them. She had never liked how her Auntie liked to scrimp and take advantage of others. Little did she know that the reason why her Auntie could not bear to buy clothes or eat and drink was because her Auntie was saving money to give to her. At this moment, guilt and self-me turned into tears that fell like rain. Lin Chaoyan also became a little sad because of her. Her eyes were red as she wiped the tears off her face with her rough fingers. She suppressed her emotions and pretended to be disdainful. ¡°Why are you crying? Useless!!¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving now. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to catch the train.¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and wiped away the tears on her face. She said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the train station.¡± Lin Chaoyan didn¡¯t refuse. Lin Qingqian used her phone app to book a car to send Lin Chaoyan to the train station. She watched as her Auntie passed the security check at the entrance of the train station and disappeared into the crowd. Her eyes turned red again. She held the card that Lin Chaoyan gave her tightly in her hand and secretly made a decision¡ª She had to work hard and earn money to buy a house and a car. In the future, she had to bring Auntie over from Yushan and never let her suffer again! Lin Qingqianposed herself and prepared to go back to look for a job. Just as she reached the roadside, a ck car stopped in front of her. A young man wearing gold-rimmed sses got out of the front passenger seat and said politely, ¡°Miss Lin, President Lu wants to see you.¡± Lin Qingqian took a step back and stared at him warily. ¡°I don¡¯t know any person called President Lu.¡± Among those with the surname Lu, she only knew Lu Yuan, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s special assistant, who was far away in Ennd right now. The man adjusted his sses and smiled. ¡°Miss Lin, don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m not a bad person. Our President¡¯s surname is Lu, and his name is Dongcheng.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned¡ªLu Dongcheng? Chapter 63 - 63 Why Me? 63 Why Me? Under the man¡¯s lead, Lin Qingqian entered the private room. Inside sat Lu Dongcheng, his white shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows. As he poured tea, he said, ¡°Miss Lin, please sit.¡± He gestured to the chair opposite him. Lin Qingqian walked over and sat down, her clear eyes carefully sizing him up. !! Lu Dongcheng, 30 years old. He was from Jiang City and the President of Chenhui Corporation. He was the final winner of the battle for the Lu family¡¯s business. His father was paralyzed from a car ident and then sent to a sanatorium. Some people said that the car ident was set up by Lu Dongcheng. No matter how she thought about it, it did not seem like a good thing for such a ruthless person to find her. Lu Dongcheng ced the teacup in front of her and smiled. ¡°Try the Da Hong Pao tea of Wuyi Mountain.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes to look at the teacup that was floating with tender shoots. She said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know much about tea.¡± Lu Dongcheng was not deterred by her straightforward rejection. ¡°Then drink it like water to quench your thirst.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never met President Lu before. May I know why President Lu is looking for me?¡± Lin Qingqian went straight to the point. Lu Dongcheng was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said slowly, ¡°Miss Lin has never seen me before, but I have seen Miss Lin before.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn¡¯t know where he had seen her before. The man¡¯s deep voice sounded leisurely. ¡°Miss Lin wasn¡¯t afraid of power and bravely rejected the marriage at the wedding. It¡¯s admirable.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± These words didn¡¯t sound like apliment, but more like sarcasm. Lu Dongcheng picked up his teacup and chuckled before drinking. ¡°Miss Lin, don¡¯t think too much. I¡¯m not interested in you, and I don¡¯t have any ill intentions. I just want to cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Cooperation?¡± Lin Qingqian was suspicious. One was an unknown fashion stylist, and the other was a famous businessman. What could they have inmon for cooperation? ¡°Do you know Luo Tianxue?¡± Luo Tianxue? The youngest of the four female stars, Luo Tianxue, who had the most poprity? It was said that she became famous because of a web drama and that her resources were extremely vast. There were rumors on the Inte that she had a sugar daddy behind her. However, no matter how many Sherlock Holmes-likeizens tried to dig, they could not find out who Luo Tianxue¡¯s sugar daddy was. Lin Qingqian blinked. So Luo Tianxue¡¯s sugar daddy was Lu Dongcheng. Lu Dongcheng knew what she was thinking but did not exin. He continued, ¡°I hope Miss Lin can be Tianxue¡¯s stylist.¡± Lin Qingqian almost went dizzy from the work opportunity that suddenly fell from the sky. Instead, she asked calmly, ¡°Why me?¡± ¡°Tianxue saw the wedding dress that Miss Lin modified at the wedding and liked it.¡± Lu Dongcheng smiled and put down the empty teacup. ¡°Miss Lin, don¡¯t worry about the treatment. I¡¯ll definitely give you a satisfactory pay.¡± After a pause, he continued, ¡°You embarrassed the Jiang family in public. Even if Jiang Yanshen is magnanimous and doesn¡¯t mind, what about the rest of the Jiang family? I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy for you to gain a foothold in Lan City. Now that I¡¯ve given you this chance, you should seize the opportunity!¡± Lin Qingqian remained silent. After all, what Lu Dongcheng said made sense. ¡°What do I have to do?¡± Compared to being an intern at a magazine agency or rmending herself to a celebrity studio, being Luo Tianxue¡¯s stylist was indeed a good starting point. ¡°You should go and ask Tianxue.¡± Lu Dongcheng looked up and gave his secretary a look. The secretary made a ¡°please¡± gesture. ¡°Miss Lin, this way please. The chauffeur will bring you to see Miss Luo.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and walked out of the private room. The tea room was near the filming base. The chauffeur brought her into the set while Luo Tianxue was putting on makeup in the lounge. Chapter 64 - 64: Luo Tianxue Liked Jiang Yanshen? Chapter 64: Luo Tianxue Liked Jiang Yanshen? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Luo Tianxue saw Lin Qingqian in the mirror and raised her hand to signal for the makeup artist to stop. The makeup artist stood aside tactfully and tidied up her makeup box. Luo Tianxue turned her chair and sized up Lin Qingqian. The chauffeur brought Lin Qingqian to the lounge and left. Lin Qingqian faced Luo Tianxue alone and was not in a hurry to speak. For a moment, the lounge was terrifyingly quiet. There seemed to be an undercurrent in the air. The two women looked at each other wordlessly, like a silentpetition. Luo Tianxue stood up and walked to Lin Qingqian with her slender body. Her cherry lips parted slightly. ¡°You¡¯re the Lin Qingqian who rejected the marriage in public and embarrassed Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. Before she could figure out what she wanted to say, Luo Tianxue suddenly pped her shoulder and said excitedly, ¡°Well done!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Luo Tianxue raised her chin proudly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen dared to reject me back then. Now that you rejected him in public, it is really retribution.¡± Lin Qingqian: Luo Tianxue liked Jiang Yanshen? But wasn¡¯t her sponsor Lu Dongcheng? What kind of love triangle was this? She suddenly regretteding to see Luo Tianxue. Was it toote to back out now? Seeing that she was silent, Luo Tianxue smiled faintly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not jealous of you just because Jiang Yanshen likes you nor do I want to mess with you. I just really like your style during the wedding. I heard you designed it yourself?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect her to be so straightforward. She was so honest that it made people feel at ease. ¡°I did it. The time was too short. Otherwise, I could have done better.¡± ¡°I like your style very much. I¡¯m going to walk the red carpet in a few days. I hope you can help style me once.¡± Luo Tianxue turned around and walked to the chair to sit down again. ¡°You just have to match my outfits. It doesn¡¯t matter what brand it is! As long as you do it well this time, you¡¯ll be my personal stylist in the future.¡± Luo Tianxue was now the most popr and talked-about actress in the entertainment industry. If she became her personal stylist, her reputation in the industry would naturally get better. ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingqian agreed immediately. Luo Tianxue revealed a satisfied smile. Before she could say anything, someone knocked on the door. A man dressed in an exaggerated manner, as if he was covered in colorful feathers, walked in. When his phoenix-like eyes swept past Lin Qingqian, they clearly revealed disdain. He went straight to Luo Tianxue and said in a feminine voice, ¡°Baby, I heard that you¡¯re going to let a little girl manage your red carpet look this time. Are you crazy?¡± Luo Tianxue smiled. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s her, Lin Qingqian.¡± The man turned his head and nced at Lin Qingqian again. ¡°Oh¡­ my¡­ god! Baby, what does such a young little girl know about fashion? Look at the clothes she¡¯s wearing¡­ it¡¯s simply a disaster.¡± Lin Qingqian had gone to get her divorce certificate today, so she was dressed verv simnlv- She was wearing a long T-shirt with a tiger¡¯s head emzoned on the front, white shorts, and a ck hair clip. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she looked simple and pure like a female university student without any offensive power. ¡°I think she¡¯s quite special!¡± Luo Tianxue said disapprovingly. ¡°Baby¡ª¡± ¡°Tony!¡± Luo Tianxue interrupted him. ¡°We had a great time working together, but I like to try out new things. How about this? The two of you can prepare for the uing red carpet at the same time. Whoever can satisfy me will be my stylist.¡± Luo Tianxue looked at the two of them and smiled innocently. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°No problem!¡± A fairpetition was reasonable. Seeing that Lin Qingqian had already agreed, Tony could not say anything else. Moreover, with his reputation and ability in the entertainment industry, how could he be afraid of a little girl? Luo Tianxue looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°If you need anything, you can contact my manager.¡± ¡°Thank you, Miss Luo. I don¡¯t need anything at the moment.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly, and her tone was extremely light. ¡°But I want to measure Miss Luo¡¯s figure.¡± Luo Tianxue blinked.. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to make the clothes for me yourself?¡± Chapter 65 - 65: Master, Long Time No See Chapter 65: Master, Long Time No See Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯m not inclined towards fashion design. I just want to note down the size to make it easier to prepare clothes for you.¡± Luo Tianxue nodded and stood up to let her measure her size. There was a soft ruler in the dressing room for her to use. After Lin Qingqian measured it, she recorded it in her cell phone memo. Tony stood at the side and stared at her with a gloomy gaze. His mrs were grinding. While Tony wasn¡¯t paying attention, Luo Tianxue lowered her head and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to your style. I¡¯m tired of Tony¡¯s style already.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and nced at her. She pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She didn¡¯t want to reply or gossip about her senior. Seeing that she was silent, Luo Tianxue looked elsewhere in boredom. Lin Qingqian took her measurements, noted her manager¡¯s number, and went back first. There were only two weeks left until the red carpet. She had to race against time to design Luo Tianxue¡¯s appearance. Lin Qingqian first took a taxi to Fu Restaurant and queued up to buy osmanthus cakes. Then, she took a taxi to Clearwater Lane. Clearwater Lane was an old district protected to preserve Lan City¡¯s culture. It was covered in green bricks and red tiles. Everything in the scenery retained the style of thest century. The long alley was clean and winding. Even the air seemed to smell better than the city center. Lin Qingqian walked along the alley to thest house and stood in front of the door for a long time. In the end, she bent her index finger and knocked lightly. A momentter, an old voice came from the courtyard. ¡°Who is it?¡± The sound of footsteps approached before an old man opened the door. He was wearing a close-fitting dark green cheongsam, and his snow-white hair was curled up. Although he had been weathered by time, his elegance could not be concealed. When the old man saw Lin Qingqian, a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Master, long time no see.¡± ¡°Who is your master?¡± The old woman red at her and was about to close the door. Lin Qingqian raised the bag in her hand. ¡°It¡¯s Fu Restaurant¡¯s osmanthus cake. Master, you haven¡¯t eaten it in a long time, right?¡± The old woman paused in her actions of closing the door. Her unhappy gaze changed when she saw the osmanthus cake. She hesitated for three seconds and snorted. ¡°Come in.¡± When she turned around, she didn¡¯t forget to remind her, ¡°Close the door properly.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Alright, Master!¡± Her master was still the same as before. She gave up resisting the moment she saw the osmanthus cake. How adorable. Lin Qingqian carried the osmanthus cake into the house. The old woman picked up the kettle and was about to make tea. She hurriedly put down the bag and went forward to take the kettle. ¡°Master, let me do it.¡± The old woman snorted and did not stand on ceremony with her. She turned around and sat down at the round table. Lin Qingqian took out tea leaves from the cab and washed the teapot. Then, she ced the tea leaves in, poured hot water into it, and brought it to the table- Then, she went to the kitchen cab and took out a green porcin teacup. After arranging the osmanthus cake neatly, she poured the brewed tea into the green porcin teacup and handed it over with both hands. ¡®Master, have some tea. ¡± The old woman nced at her, took the teacup, and said indifferently, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and replied, ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen Master. I really miss you.¡± ¡°Tell me the truth.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I want to ask Master to help me design a piece of clothing.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the lofty Madam Jiang. What clothes does the Missus of the Jiang family want that no one can make? Do you need the help of an old fart like me who¡¯s about to die?¡± She put down the teacup and mocked coldly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s smile froze and her voice lowered. ¡°I¡¯m divorced.¡± The old woman¡¯s hand trembled. She raised her head and was stunned. A few secondster, she pped the table and shouted angrily, ¡°I told you that if men are reliable, a sow can climb a tree, but you didn¡¯t listen!¡± She was so angry that her breathing quickened. ¡°Where is that Jiang guy? I¡¯ll settle the score with him!¡± Lin Qingqian hurriedly supported her by the arm. ¡°Master, I took the initiative to get a divorce.¡± Her right foot, which had just stepped out, stopped. She turned her head to look at Lin Qingqian, feeling very surprised. ¡°Back then, when I wanted to send you overseas to further your studies, you insisted on not going. You insisted on marrying that Jiang guy. Why, have you thought it through now?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, and the curve of her lips was extremely faint. ¡°At that time, I was young and insensible, so I didn¡¯t listen to Master¡¯s words. Now, I¡¯m willing to turn over a new leaf. Master, please be magnanimous and don¡¯t be angry. Give me another chance to turn over a new leaf.¡± Back then, her master wanted to send her overseas to further her studies, hoping that she could umte experience and gain a foothold in the fashion industry. However, her heart was filled with Jiang Yanshen at that time. Hence, she didn¡¯t leave the country and even quarreled with her master. Because of this, her master had not opened the door for her for three years.. Chapter 66 - 66: Beauty is in the Bone, Not the Skin Chapter 66: Beauty is in the Bone, Not the Skin Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The old woman looked at her deeply and expected better. ¡°Stupid girl, you don¡¯t know how to turn back until you¡¯ve hit a wall! How dare you enter a wolf den like the Jiang family? Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re stupid?¡± She poked her head with her index finger. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes shed and she smiled sweetly and said ingratiatingly, ¡°Master, I know I was wrong. Don¡¯t be angry with me and don¡¯t ignore me.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± She snorted softly and turned around to sit down. Then, she picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth. The fragrance of osmanthus in her mouth dispelled the wrinkles between her eyebrows. After eating, she picked up a handkerchief beside her and wiped the corners of his mouth. ¡°Tell me, what kind of clothes do you want to make?¡± The moment Lin Qingqian heard that she agreed to make the clothes for her, she knew that she wasn¡¯t angry anymore. She took out her phone from her pocket and took out the photo she had prepared. ¡°The clothes are for her. Luo Tianxue, a very popr female celebrity.¡± She opened the spectacles case, took out a pair of spectacles, and put them on. Next, she examined the photo. ¡°Her facial features are not bad, but they¡¯re not as good-looking as yours.¡± Lin Qingqian said, ¡°Master, don¡¯t tease me. She¡¯s a female celebrity, and I¡¯m just a wild girl from the countryside. If you didn¡¯t make an exception and ask the school to ept me, I might still be feeding pigs in the countryside now.¡± ¡°Beauty is in the bone, not the skin.¡± She nced at her from the corner of her eye and said coldly, ¡°Back then, I took a fancy to the work you sent over. I felt that such a talented child couldn¡¯t be buried. On one hand, I wanted to nurture you, but on the other hand, I was worried that you would be corroded by the temptation of Lan City! Who would have thought that instead of being seduced by money and luxury, you would be charmed by that Jiang guy! If I had known, I would have left you to feed pigs in the countryside.¡± ¡°Master, let¡¯s not talk about my dark history!¡± Lin Qingqian wrote down Luo Tianxue¡¯s size for him. ¡°These are her measurements.¡± Seeing that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to talk about it, she didn¡¯t say anything else. ¡°There¡¯s no requirement for the style?¡± ¡°Master¡¯s craftsmanship can even turn a sow into a fairy. There¡¯s no need for any specific style!¡± Lin Qingqian bragged. ¡°tterer!¡± The old woman red at her with an obvious smile on her face. ¡°Go make me dinner!¡± ¡°Alright, Master!¡± Chef Lin Qingqian was already online. There were only two weeks left, and her master was old. It was very difficult for her to produce a piece of clothing in such a short time. Fortunately, the fabric was ready-made. She used the day to draw the design n and then chose the fabric and needle and thread overnight. For convenience¡¯s sake, Lin Qingqian also stayed with her. She was in charge of her three meals and also had to help with some side jobs. Finally, three days before the red carpet, Luo Tianxue called her to ask how her preparations were. What she really meant was that Tony was ready for her to try on his clothes. Lin Qingqian asked her manager to send her the address. Then, she took the clothes that her master had just made and said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± The old woman took off his sses and waved her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t y this game with me. Go ahead!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯lle and see you after I¡¯m done.¡± Lin Qingqian carried the bag and was about to leave. When she reached the door, she thought of something and turned back to hug her. The old woman was stunned. Before she could react to what had happened, Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice sounded in her ears. ¡°Master, I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you this time.¡± With that, she let go of her and ran out. The old woman stood in a daze for a while before she reacted and muttered, ¡°This silly girl¡­¡± ¡®You¡¯ve never let me down.¡¯ Luo Tianxue did not sign a contract with a managementpany. Instead, she created her own studio. When Lin Qingqian took a taxi to the studio, Luo Tianxue and Tony had already been waiting in the changing room for a long time. Luo Tianxue saw her and immediately smiled, ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re here.¡± Lin Qingqian: We don¡¯t seem to be that close!! ¡°Miss Luo.¡± Compared to her enthusiasm, Lin Qingqian¡¯s reaction was very calm. Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t seem to notice her coldness towards her as her gaze fell on the bag in her hand. ¡°Is this the dress you prepared for me? Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Yes, Miss Luo, do you want to try it first?¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes were filled with anticipation. ¡°Sure, sure. I¡¯ve already tried on the gown Tony prepared for me.¡± Lin Qingqian followed her gaze and stopped at a silver evening gown hanging on the clothes rack. It had a deep V-neck and a tight fit. It was beautiful, but it was too monotonous. There would be at least seven or eight such evening gowns on the red carpet. They were more or less the same, and there was really nothing special about it. Chapter 67 - 67: May I Ask Who Miss Lin ‘s Master Is? Chapter 67: May I Ask Who Miss Lin ¡®s Master Is? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions A ck cheongsam came into view. Luo Tianxue was stunned. ¡°¡­ Cheongsam?¡± Even Tony, who was arranging the clothes at the side, was stunned. He reacted and sneered. ¡°Can a cheongsam be considered an evening gown? Besides, our baby has never worn a cheongsam before.¡± ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t find a master to make a cheongsam when they attended gatherings during the old era? Why can¡¯t it be considered a gown?¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at him and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s precisely because she hasn¡¯t tried it that she has to try it now.¡± Tony was speechless. Luo Tianxue was also filled with anticipation. ¡°I¡¯ve never worn a cheongsam before. I¡¯m looking forward to it, but I don¡¯t know how to wear it.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll help you!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The two of them walked into the changing room together. Tony¡¯s face was livid, and his eyes were filled with disdain. It was simply a fool¡¯s dream topare a lousy cheongsam to his international branded gown! Ten minutester, Lin Qingqian came out first. After turning around, Luo Tianxue appeared in front of everyone. The ck cheongsam outlined her graceful figure, enhancing it. The cor was made of ckce, and there were peony petals embroidered with silver thread. The silver thread was also embroidered with stamens which made it look like a real flower. Luo Tianxue stood in front of the mirror, unable to believe that the person in the mirror was really her. She had red lips, ck hair, and a ck cheongsam that revealed her slender arms. The hem of the dress opened to the side of her thighs, entuating her hip line. She was like a woman who had walked out of a ssic movie. She was beautiful and her charm was not old -fashioned. The candy in Tony¡¯s mouth fell to the ground¡­ p, p, p! The manager couldn¡¯t help but p. His eyes were filled with amazement. ¡°Tianxue, you¡¯re really too beautiful. If you walk onto the red carpet like this, you¡¯ll be trending every minute.¡± Luo Tianxue turned to look at him and said excitedly, ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t know that I would look this beautiful in a cheongsam! The cheongsam seemed to have been tailor-made for me!¡± ¡°Keep a low profile.¡± Lin Qingqian said while helping her tidy her hair. ¡°The cheongsam is very matching to your facial features, but most of the beauties in the old era were gentle and graceful, so you have to restrain your emotions and stayposed. ¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Luo Tianxue immediately retracted her smile, not revealing her teeth anymore. When Tony heard that they had decided to wear a cheongsam to the red carpet, his face darkened. He walked over and said, ¡°This cheongsam is not bad, but I can¡¯t tell which brand it is.¡± Although cheongsams were not the mainstream now, he knew that there were two brands of cheongsams. One look and he knew that this cheongsam was not from the two brands he knew. Celebrities in the entertainment industry usually had to wear endorsement clothing brands to attend events. If they didn¡¯t have any, they had to borrow from first-tier brands to prepare for their future endorsements. No matter how beautiful the cheongsam that Lin Qingqian brought was, it wouldn¡¯t bring anymercial benefits to Luo Tianxue unless it was from a famous brand. The manager also thought of this problem and could not help but frown. Luo Tianxue said with an ignorant expression, ¡°But I like this cheongsam very much. I want to wear it on the red carpet.¡± ¡°Tianxue, don¡¯t be willful.¡± The managerforted her first and turned to ask Lin Qingqian, ¡°Miss Lin, may I know which brand this cheongsam is from?¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly, ¡°There¡¯s no brand.¡± ¡°No brand?¡± The manager¡¯s expression changed slightly. Tony added insult to injury. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you went to a random shop by the roadside to get someone to make it? You even dare to take out such cheap clothes for our baby to wear!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I asked my Master to make this cheongsam.¡± ¡°May I ask who Miss Lin¡¯s master is¡­¡± The manager asked. ¡°Qi Min.¡± Instantly, the changing room fell silent, as if the air had frozen. ¡°Pfft, hahahahahahaha!¡± Tony was the first to burst outughing. As heughed, he pointed at Lin Qingqian and said, ¡®You, you¡¯re really bragging without thinking.. Who doesn¡¯t know that Master Qi never takes in disciples? You actually dare to pretend to be her disciple!¡± Chapter 68 - 68: Master Qi is Not Here So You Can Bullsh*t As You Like… Chapter 68: Master Qi is Not Here So You Can Bullsh*t As You Like¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The manager also had an indescribable expression. ¡°Miss Lin, it¡¯s better not to say such things.¡± Qi Min was one of the best cheongsam masters in the country. It was difficult to get hold of a piece of her work. In the past two years, other than making a cheongsam for an official, she had already announced that she had retired. She had opened a university in Lan City a few years ago and had been a consultant there, but he had never heard of her taking in a disciple. Lin Qingqian said humbly, ¡°I¡¯m her closed-door disciple and I¡¯m afraid of sullying my master¡¯s name, so I never dared to call myself her disciple.¡± Tony raised his fingers and said sarcastically, ¡°Master Qi isn¡¯t here, so you can bullsh*t as you like¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm, and she was not in a hurry to refute or exin. Instead, Luo Tianxue blinked and asked curiously, ¡°Who is Qi Min? Is she very famous?¡± The manager coughed lightly. ¡°Master Qi is a cheongsam master. She usually doesn¡¯t make cheongsams for others easily. Those who can make her design a cheongsam for them are all high-ranking officials and nobles. Even the biggest movie queen in the industry isn¡¯t qualified to ask for one.¡± Luo Tianxue was enlightened. ¡®Qingqian, so you¡¯re so amazing. Then why would you like Jiang Yanshen, that emotionless machine?¡± Lin Qingqian: Can your focus not be so peculiar? The manager looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Miss Lin, can you prove that this cheongsam was really made by Master Qi?¡± ¡°How do you want me to prove it?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were clear. ¡°Master likes peace and quiet and doesn¡¯t like to socialize.¡± In other words, it was impossible for her master toe out and see them. The manager also knew Qi Min¡¯s status, so he did not dare to let her see him. ¡°What I mean is that since you¡¯re Master Qi disciple, you must be able to contact Master Qi. Give her a call or record a video.¡± If the cheongsam was personally made by Master Qi, this would definitely be a good publicity point!! Before Lin Qingqian could speak, Tony sneered. ¡°Aren¡¯t you making things difficult for her? How can a fake disciple contact Master Qi.. Before he could finish his sentence, a deep and powerful voice came from the door¡ª ¡°Who said that my girl is a liar?¡± Like the others, Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw an old woman wearing brown patterns walking in. She was surprised and delighted. ¡°Master, why are you here?¡± She couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her eyes. Qi Min red at her. ¡°I made the clothes, so I naturally came to see if they were suitable and if you want me to make any changes!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her gazended on Luo Tianxue for a long time before she nodded. ¡°Not bad. This girl has a good figure. There¡¯s basically no need to change anything.¡± Lin Qingqian, who was at the side, praised, ¡°Master¡¯s work will naturally not go wrong.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t suck up to me.¡± Although Qi Min said it in disdain, her eyes were filled with adoration. The manager looked serious. ¡°Master Qi, it¡¯s really you.¡± Qi Min rolled her eyes at him. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t me, would it be a ghost?¡± After rebuking him, she looked at Tony, whose face was ashen. ¡°I¡¯ve made cheongsams all my life, but no one has ever asked me such a stupid question like whether cheongsams have brands.¡± Although she had a head of silver hair and her face was aged, the sharpness in her eyes was terrifying. ¡°Master Qi, I¡­¡± Tony was so frightened by her domineering aura that cold sweat broke out. Qi Min did not listen to him. Instead she shifted his gaze and looked at Luo Tianxue. ¡°This time, because of my disciple, you get to wear my cheongsam. Do you understand?¡± Luo Tianxue blinked. ¡°Oh, thank you, Granny. Thank you, Qingqian.¡± Qi Min: ¡® The manager: Lin Qingqian: ¡® Was this child always so friendly with everyone? The manager quickly smiled apologetically. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Master Qi. We understand.¡± Qi Min nodded in satisfaction and looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°I told you to attend more gatherings with me, but you didn¡¯t. You almost embarrassed me.¡± Lin Qingqian felt wronged. ¡® Master, you haven¡¯t allowed me to visit you for the past three years.. Chapter 69 - 69: The Entertainment Industry Is a Place of Fame And Fortune Chapter 69: The Entertainment Industry Is a ce of Fame And Fortune Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Tony turned green and white at her words. Even a fool could tell that the old master was pping him in the face. However, the master¡¯s status was there. No matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure it. When Qi Min saw that they had stopped talking, she instantly felt bored. ¡°Alright. If there¡¯s nothing else, you can send me back.¡± Lin Qingqian was afraid that Luo Tianxue did not know how to maintain the cheongsam so she left with Qi Min only after giving a few instructions. Luo Tianxue watched them leave. When she came back to her senses, she heard Tony say, ¡°Baby, are you really going to let her be your stylist?¡± She tilted her head slightly and looked at her charming self in the mirror. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Tony, you have to admit defeat¡­ You lost this time.¡± He was about to say something when Luo Tianxue interrupted him. ¡°Alright, Tony, there will still be opportunities to cooperate in the future.¡± Tony didn¡¯t say anything else. He lowered his eyes and couldn¡¯t help but grit his teeth when he saw the cheongsam on her. In the car. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Master, you didn¡¯t have to specially make this trip.¡± She could have handled Tony herself. She felt a little apologetic for troubling her master toe personally. Qi Min nced at her from the corner of her eye. ¡°The entertainment industry is a ce of fame and fortune. You have no power, no influence, and no connections at all. Now that you can¡¯t even count on the Jiang family anymore, I had to make this trip sooner orter.¡± Lin Qingqian heard the meaning in her words and her heart warmed. Her porcin-white hand held onto his arm and her voice choked slightly. ¡°Master¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry and go ahead. Although Master is old, I still have some connections and face.¡± She patted the back of Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand as if tofort her. It could be seen that she doted on her from the bottom of her heart. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what to say anymore. She tilted her head and leaned on her shoulder. Her voice was very low and very firm. ¡°Master, I definitely won¡¯t embarrass you.¡± Qi Min smiled and said nothing else. Lin Qingqian first sent her back to Clearwater Lane, then went home to take a shower and catch up on her sleep. She had been busy with the cheongsam at her master¡¯s for the past week. Having slept less than four hours a day, she was too tired and ended up sleeping for a day and a night. When she woke up the next day, she received a call from Luo Tianxue¡¯s manager. The cheongsam was ready and she still needed to do her hair and match her jewelry. Because he knew that she was Master Qi Min¡¯s disciple, the manager¡¯s tone was much more polite. If it was inconvenient for her, she could even send him the jewelry brand and style she needed and he could procure it for her. When Lin Qingqian thought of asking her master to make a cheongsam, she had already thought of what jewelry to pair with Luo Tianxue. She sent the jewelry pictures that she had long thought of and told him not to prepare a makeup artist as she would bring one over herself. Aftermunicating all the details, she hung up the phone. She walked to the window and watched the sun slowly rise. What her master had said yesterday echoed in her ears¡ª ¡°It¡¯s good to be that girl¡¯s stylist, but you¡¯ve never been an ordinary person. You still have to consider carefully about your future path.¡± She knew what her master meant. She was already 25 years old. It would be good to be Luo Tianxue¡¯s personal stylist, but a person¡¯s style was limited, and it would not provide enough room for her skills to develop . Her master wanted her to go to a bigger stage and a wider sky. On the red carpet day. As it was an award ceremony, many celebrities and fans came to the event location. Even though Lin Qingqian was backstage, she could still hear the shouts of the fans outside. Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans were the loudest among them. Yan Sui, who had been called over by Lin Qingqian to put on makeup for Luo Tianxue, was tempted.. She wished she could rush in and shout with them, ¡°Qin Shang, Qin Shang, I love you!¡± Chapter 70 - 70: Someone Doesn’t Want Miss Luo to Wear This Cheongsam on the Red Carpet Chapter 70: Someone Doesn¡¯t Want Miss Luo to Wear This Cheongsam on the Red Carpet Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was looking at her cell phone at the side. Sensing that Suisui was not paying attention, she knocked the back of her head with her fingers. ¡°Put on the makeup properly.¡± Suisui pouted. ¡°I want to go out and support too! I heard that Lu Qinshang is performing today. I really want to see it!¡± Luo Tianxue, who had her eyes closed, opened them. ¡°You like Lu Qinshang?¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°I¡¯m his number one fan!¡± Luo Tianxue chuckled. ¡°That¡¯s easy. Won¡¯t you be able to take a look when you sit down with my managerter? By the way, I can also help you get Lu Qinshang¡¯s autographed photo.¡± Suisui¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°Really?¡± She was a makeup artist. Although she usually came into contact with many celebrities, they were all low- tier celebrities. Moreover, they were too arrogant to help her ask Lu Qinshang for an autograph. ¡°Really. But¡ª¡± Luo Tianxue paused and said, ¡°You have to guarantee that you¡¯ll help make me beautiful and dominate the entire venue!¡± ¡°What¡¯s so difficult about that!¡± Suisui patted her chest and vowed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, with Qianqian and me around, I guarantee that you¡¯ll be the most beautiful girl tonight!¡± ¡°Great!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® These two people really hit it off at first sight. ¡°Oh no, Tianxue¡­¡± The manager suddenly walked in in a hurry, looking flustered. Luo Tianxue turned around, still looking innocent. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The manager nced at Lin Qingqian and then at Luo Tianxue. His expression was ugly as he said, ¡°I just went to the changing room and realized that your cheongsam had been cut.¡± Ordinary artists would directly arrive at the event location after putting on their makeup. However, Luo Tianxue was different. She did not have any works at the moment, so she was attending as an award-giving guest plus a performing guest. The performance and red carpet were two different sets of clothes and they were both ced in the changing room. It was less than an hour before the red carpet started. Now that the cheongsam was cut, it was toote to borrow a new gown¡­ Luo Tianxue¡¯s face was pale and she was about to cry. ¡°Then what should we do now, Qingqian?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and her expression was calm. She said unhurriedly, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯ll go take a look first.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Suisui: ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡± The few of them walked to the changing room and saw that the cheongsam that was originally hanging on the clothes rack had been cut into rags. Even if an immortal descended to the mortal world, they would be powerless to reverse the situation. ¡°My cheongsam¡­¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes turned red as she stomped her feet anxiously. The manager said with an ugly expression, ¡°Tianxue, don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯ll make a call to borrow another gown now.¡± ¡°But I like this cheongsam very much. Moreover, where can I borrow a new gown in such a short time?¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s sobbing voice sounded. The manager did not answer and just kept sending WeChat messages. Lin Qingqian walked to the clothes rack and took off the cheongsam, observing it carefully. Suisui followed beside her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? ¡°The incision was neat. Someone deliberately cut it with scissors,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡°Someone doesn¡¯t want Miss Luo to walk the red carpet in this cheongsam.¡± Suisui: ¡°This dressing room is shared by the actresses, and there are no surveince cameras. Even if we know that someone deliberately cut it, we can¡¯t find out who it is!¡± When Luo Tianxue heard her words, the mist in her eyes intensified. Lin Qingqian looked at her andforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Wait and see. Who knows, Brother Ming might be able to borrow some clothes.¡± Brother Ming was Luo Tianxue¡¯s manager. Luo Tianxue nced at the manager who was on the phone and did not say anything. This was the only way now. The few of them returned to the dressing room first. The atmosphere was very gloomy, and no one spoke. Lin Qingqian ced the clothes on the sofa and lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something. Suisui could not help but lean over and ask softly, ¡°Why do I feel that you¡¯re not surprised at all? It¡¯s as if you knew this would happen..¡± Chapter 71 - 71: My Sister Qjan Specializes in Punishing Fake Little B*tches Chapter 71: My Sister Qjan Specializes in Punishing Fake Little B*tches Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes shed and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Haven¡¯t I seen this kind of thing many times in the past?¡± Yan Sui immediately understood and wasn¡¯t worried. She took out her phone and opened Weibo to click on Lu Qinshang¡¯s post to help her idol hit the rankings. The award ceremony tonight was very important. More than half of the actors in the entertainment industry were participating and the big brands had already lent out all their high-end designs. It was impossible to borrow the new high-end designs at thest minute. Brother Ming had already called several times and nobody could provide their clothes. As Luo Tianxue¡¯s tears fell, the door was suddenly pushed open. Tony walked in wearing colorful clothes. Seeing Luo Tianxue cry, he immediately said with heartache, ¡°Baby, why are you crying? ¡°Someone ruined my clothes.¡± Luo Tianxue choked. Tony nced at the cheongsam on the sofa and a trace of disdain shed across his eyes. ¡°Baby, I told you long ago that a little girl like her doesn¡¯t know how to style!¡± Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t say anything. She pouted her red lips and tears the size of beans hung on her cheeks. ¡°Okay, okay, baby, don¡¯t cry!¡± Tony took a tissue andforted her as he wiped her clean. ¡°It¡¯s my fault for loving you so much. I haven¡¯t returned the Dior dress I lent for you.¡± Luo Tianxue was stunned and blinked her teary eyshes¡­ Brother Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard his words. ¡°Thank you so much, Tony.¡± Tony smiled and did not say anything. When he turned around to leave, his gaze swept past Lin Qingqian and he snorted arrogantly. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Lin Qingqian, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. Tony stopped in his tracks and turned around. ¡°What do you want?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender body slowly stood up. She looked at him with her clear eyes and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°Apologize to me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Tony was stunned, suspecting that he had heard wrongly. Luo Tianxue and Brother Ming were also dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened. Only Suisui was not surprised at all. She quickly put down her phone, her face full of anticipation. It¡¯s starting, it¡¯s starting. I need to keep my eyes on my Sister Qian, who specializes in punishing fake little b*tches! Lin Qingqian repeated patiently, ¡°Please apologize to me.¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Tony sneered and rolled his eyes. ¡°Is there something wrong with your brain? Why should I apologize to you?¡± ¡°Because you were the one who cut my cheongsam.¡± Lin Qingqian quickly replied. As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Tianxue and Brother Ming were shocked. After a sh of panic in Tony¡¯s eyes, he said confidently, ¡°What right do you have to say that I had cut it? Do you have evidence?¡± ¡°As a stylist, you didn¡¯t protect your clothes well. It¡¯s clearly your fault, yet you still want to use me. Not only do you have no professional ethics, but you also have no character!¡± Facing his usation, Lin Qingqian was not angry. She said lightly, ¡°I respect you as a senior. If you apologize now, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°Otherwise what?¡± Tony raised his chin. ¡°Don¡¯t nder me!¡± ¡°Senior, you¡¯ll know if I¡¯m ndering you or not as long as you stretch out your hand.¡± ¡°What?¡± Tony frowned. Brother Ming was also puzzled. ¡°Miss Lin, what do you mean?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Brother Ming and said, ¡°I sprinkled special silver powder on the cheongsam. It can¡¯t be seen under ordinary light, but as long as the light is turned off, you will be able to see the silver powder.¡± She paused and looked at Tony, whose face was gradually turning pale. ¡°Senior, if you want to cut the cheongsam, you have to touch it.¡± Luo Tianxue also understood. ¡°If it¡¯s really Tony, his hands will definitely be stained with silver powder. As long as we turn off the lights, we¡¯ll see if there¡¯s any silver light on Tony¡¯s hands, we¡¯ll know if he did it..¡± Chapter 72 - 72: The First Lesson of Life Chapter 72: The First Lesson of Life Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°You, you¡¯re talking nonsense!¡± Tony put his hands on his waist like an old hen entering battle. ¡°I helped you out of kindness, but not only were you not grateful, you even turned around to malign me. It¡¯s simply¡ª¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply heartless and ungrateful! I-I don¡¯t care about you anymore!¡± With that, he turned around and walked out. ¡°Hey!¡± Luo Tianxue still wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Qingqian. ¡°Forget it.¡± ¡°He was clearly the one who ruined my cheongsam. He has to take responsibility!¡± Luo Tianxue said angrily. Her watery eyes were wide open, and she looked even more lively and cute. ¡°Let¡¯s leave him a way out so that we can meet again in the future!¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly. ¡°What about my cheongsam?¡± Luo Tianxue pouted reluctantly. Brother Ming was also at a loss. ¡°Yes, there¡¯s only half an hour left before the red carpet. I really can¡¯t borrow any branded clothes.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. She let go of Luo Tianxue¡¯s hand, turned around, and walked to a corner of the dressing room to open the box she had brought. The three of them surrounded her at the same time and saw her take out a dress that was exactly the same as the cut cheongsam. Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°This, this, why is there another one?¡± Brother Ming was overjoyed. ¡°Could it be that Master Qi made two?¡± This was giving Tianxue too much face. Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°Master only made one. The one in the changing room was made by me from mimicking Master¡¯s work.¡± The two clothes looked identical at first nce, but if one looked carefully at the needle and threading, they would be able to tell the difference. Luo Tianxue hugged her arm happily and shook it vigorously, ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re really too awesome! I love you to death!¡± Brother Ming heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Miss Lin, you¡¯re really meticulous.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled lightly without saying anything. From the corner of her eye, she nced at the hand on her arm. Was this girl going to shake her arm until it broke? Suisui also smiled. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re still as smart as before.¡± Luo Tianxue turned her head and asked curiously, ¡°Was Qingqian also this powerful in the past?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Suisui raised her chin proudly, as if she was the one being praised. ¡°Qianqian was considered an influential figure in school back then. Many people were jealous of her talent and tried ying tricks behind her back. In the end, she still pped those schemers in the face!¡± ¡°Wow! Qingqian is really amazing!¡± Luo Tianxue looked at Lin Qingqian with admiration. Lin Qingqian said, ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her bragging. It¡¯s just that someone said that one can¡¯t have the intention to harm others, but one has to be wary of others!¡± Luo Tianxue blinked and asked curiously, ¡°Who said it?¡± Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly, but she didn¡¯t reply. ¡°Suisui, hurry up. You need to style her hair in waves. I¡¯m going to go borrow a hair curler.¡± After saying that, she ignored Luo Tianxue¡¯s question and walked out of the dressing room. Actually, she had not been so scheming in the beginning. At that time, she had just arrived in Lan City from Yushan. Whether it was in the Jiang family or in school, she did not fit in. She had no friends or family. Other than following Jiang Yanshen around, she spent her days studying. Later on, the school held a design and stylingpetition. She signed up to participate and entered the finals. In the end, an hour before the finals, the clothes she borrowed were sshed with ink. She was angry and anxious so she looked for her teacher to seek justice. However, no one paid attention to her. Her Master said, ¡°This is the first lesson of your life. You can¡¯t even protect your own things. What right do you have to resent the person who hurt you?¡± Hence, she carried her ink-stained clothes home and cried in her room all night. She didn¡¯t even eat dinner that night. At dawn, the door was pushed open. A man in a white shirt and ck casual pants ced a tray of food in front of her before turning around to say something.. Chapter 73 - 73: Shen Qjan: I’m Back, A New Beginning Chapter 73: Shen Qjan: I¡¯m Back, A New Beginning Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He said, ¡°This is a society where only the fittest survive. One doesn¡¯t need to have the intention to harm others, but one has to be wary of others. If you don¡¯t understand this, I advise you to go back and y with y dolls.¡± One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should be wary of others. Perhaps he had said this casually, but she had remembered it for many years. Ever since then, no matter what she did, she would be careful. Lin Qingqian borrowed the curler and Suisui helped Luo Tianxue with her makeup and hair. Luo Tianxue changed into the cheongsam and put on the jade earrings and bracelet that Brother Ming had borrowed from the jeweler. Her aura instantly became charming and exquisite. Luo Tianxue took a car from the back door to the front door to wait for her turn to make her red carpet entrance. Lin Qingqian and Suisui stood backstage and watched the live-stream online. When the car door opened, Luo Tianxue¡¯s pair of red high heels came into view. Her entire person appeared in front of the public, and the lights at the scene flickered non-stop like crazy. The fans outside howled and kept shouting, ¡°Tianxue, I love you¡­¡± Ordinary celebrities would take at most five minutes to walk down the red carpet and interview, but Luo Tianxue relied on her cheongsam to fight her way out of the crowd of evening gowns. As a result, her interview was five minutes longer than others. When she revealed that the cheongsam she was wearing was personally made by Master Qi, the people at the event were even more shocked and surprised. The fans on the Inte had already dug out Master Qi¡¯s background in minutes and immediately knelt down. Even a respected figure like Master Qi made clothes for their idol. What did this mean? It meant that their idol was beautiful and outstanding! #Luo Tianxue is as beautiful as a fairy# immediately became one of the top three trending topics. The top trending topic was Lu Qinshang. The reason was that Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans shouted the slogan, ¡°Qin Shang, Qin Shang, I love you unreasonably, just like how it¡¯s unreasonable for your mother to hit you.¡± Passersby clicked on the trending searches, saw the video andughed out loud. Luo Tianxue came back from the red carpet and hugged Lin Qingqian the moment she returned backstage. She said excitedly, ¡®Qingqian, you¡¯re too awesome. I even felt that I¡¯m the most beautiful woman in the entire universe.¡± ¡°Congrattions!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. From now on, Luo Tianxue¡¯s fashion resources would no longer be a concern. Luo Tianxue let go of her and said with sparkling eyes, ¡°Qingqian, feel free to ask for anything. I¡¯ll agree to up your annual sry.¡± ¡°Miss Luo, thank you for your appreciation, but¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked apologetic. ¡°I don¡¯t n to sign a contract with you.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Luo Tianxue was stunned and immediately revealed a bitter expression, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I want to start my own business and be an independent stylist,¡± Lin Qingqian answered honestly. Luo Tianxue blinked. ¡°So you want to open a studio?¡± There was nock of good makeup artists and hair stylists in the entertainment industry. After umting a certain amount of connections, they would open a studio to style their artists. However, no one was like Lin Qingqian, who wanted to set up her own studio as soon as she entered the industry. ¡°You¡¯re not famous yet so it can be very difficult to run a studio.¡± Luo Tianxue pouted. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°It¡¯s more challenging if it¡¯s difficult, isn¡¯t it?¡± Without giving Luo Tianxue a chance to speak, she said, ¡°Alright, you should go change your clothes and style.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Luo Tianxue snorted. ¡°Then remember to inform me when it opens. In the future, I want to be your studio¡¯s VVNIP. No matter what event it is, you have to be the first to style me!¡± Lin Qingqian agreed with a smile before Luo Tianxue went to change. Lin Qingqian took out her phone and logged into Weibo, which she had not logged in for a long time. She posted a photo of Luo Tianxue. Shen Qian: I¡¯m back. A new beginning.. Chapter 74 - 74: An Arrogant Voice from the Second Floor, Did It! Chapter 74: An Arrogant Voice from the Second Floor, Did It! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In less than a minute after she posted it, she received dozens ofments. They were allizens who were screaming. ¡°Great God Qianqian, have you finally remembered the password?¡± ¡°Goddess, you haven¡¯t given us advice on fashion styling for a long time. My boyfriend is going to be seduced by a white lotus¡­ Wu wu wu.¡± ¡°F*ck, is the Goddess going to the entertainment industry? Isn¡¯t the person in the photo Luo Tianxue?¡± ¡°F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Really? Luo Tianxue¡¯s dress was made by our Goddess?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Is the Goddess going to start her own business?¡± Lin Qingqian replied with one word, ¡°Yes¡±. Luo Tianxue¡¯s fans found this Weibo post and leftments to thank her for dressing up their idol so beautifully! They would have to follow this standard in the future! There were more and morements, and even #ShenQian Studio# was on the trending searches. The passers-by were dumbfounded. Now, any 18th-tier inte celebrity could be on the trending searches. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t look at it anymore and exited Weibo. She looked up at Luo Tianxue, who was putting on makeup, and¡­ Suisui. After Suisui finished putting on makeup for Luo Tianxue, Luo Tianxue asked Brother Ming to bring her to the front row below the stage to wait for Lu Qinshang to perform. The rest of the matter had nothing to do with Lin Qingqian. She didn¡¯t chase after celebrities and had been too tired for the past two weeks. She didn¡¯t have a good rest and therefore went back to rest first. Suisui on the other hand, watched her idol perform up close and got her idol¡¯s autographed photo. After the award ceremony ended, she ran home happily. Later, Luo Tianxue returned to the van where Brother Ming wasughing so hard on his phone. ¡°Tianxue, you¡¯re still on the trending searches. You¡¯re even more popr than the Best Actor and Best Actress!¡± She leaned against the car seatzily and smiled without saying anything. Brother Ming put away his cell phone. ¡°What do you n to do with Tony?¡± ¡°Terminate his contract. Spread the news about what happened tonight to the public, but don¡¯t let anyone know that we leaked it.¡± Her voice and smile were still very sweet, but there was a hint of slyness in her eyes. Brother Ming was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant. ¡°Tony still has some connections in the industry¡­ Seems like you don¡¯t want Miss Lin to style other artists.¡± ¡°It¡¯s more challenging if it¡¯s difficult. That¡¯s what she said.¡± She smiled innocently. ¡°She made me lose a friend so she has to take responsibility.¡± Brother Ming: The outside world said that Luo Tianxue was an innocent and bright little princess. They even said that she was silly and sweet. Those people were probably blind. She was not a silly girl. She was a ck-bellied little rabbit. If Lin Qingqian wanted to open a studio, she first had to rent a shop. After following the property agent around for two days, she finally rented a 200 square meter shop. Right on the heels of that was to find a renovationpany to renovate the shopfront. In the future, her clients would all be celebrities in the entertainment industry. They had very high standards for the environment and aesthetics of the shop, so Lin Qingqian had to personally supervise the renovation. The renovation wasing to an end. When Lin Qingqian went to pick out themps, she received a call from the renovation workers. They said that someone was causing trouble so she had to rush back. As soon as she entered, she smelled the pungent smell of paint. Someone had sshed red paint on the warm-colored wallpaper. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Who did it?¡± Before the worker could answer, an arrogant voice came from the second floor. ¡°I did it!¡± She looked up and saw the 1.8 -meter-tall youth with his hands in his pockets. He had an unruly expression as he walked down casually. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows knitted tighter and tighter, and her red lips squeezed out three words¡ª ¡°Jiang Yunshen! ¡° Chapter 75 - 75: Brother Complex Chapter 75: Brother Complex Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The corners of Jiang Yunshen¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me. You don¡¯t agree with my actions? Lin Qingqian nced around and realized that there was red paint everywhere, as if someone was asking for a debt. ¡°Did Jiang Yanshen ask you to do this?¡± Jiang Yunshen snorted. ¡°I don¡¯t like you so I decided to mess with you. What does it have to do with my brother?¡± Lin Qingqian also guessed that it wasn¡¯t Jiang Yanshen¡¯s intention. Jiang Yunshen admired Jiang Yanshen and had a brotherplex. It wasn¡¯t just a day or two that he was not happy with her. He must havee looking for her as a result of her rejecting the marriage in public. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t me me for being rude to you. Who asked you to embarrass my brother in public!¡± Jiang Yunshen pulled out his right hand and pointed at himself. ¡°It¡¯s fine if my brother protected you in the past, but now that you have nothing to do with my brother, I¡¯ll say this¡ª¡± ¡°As long as I¡¯m around, you can forget about doing business in Lan City.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm face was covered with ayer of frost. She looked at him with a cold gaze and raised her hand to give him a p without a word. She used a lot of strength in this p. Not only did it make a loud sound, but it also made her palm go numb. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face was pped to the side. He turned to look at Lin Qingqian in disbelief, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his throat. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you f*cking crazy? She actually dared to hit him!! Lin Qingqian¡¯s palm was numb and painful, but her expression remained unchanged. She said in a cold tone, ¡°You came to my studio to cause trouble. It¡¯s only right for me to hit you. You don¡¯t agree with my actions?¡± She returned Jiang Yunshen¡¯s words to him. Jiang Yunshen had been pampered since he was young. When has he ever been bullied like this? Coupled with Lin Qingqian¡¯s words, he was so angry that he felt dizzy. Without thinking, he pushed her and said fiercely, ¡°Do you have a death wish?¡± There was paint everywhere on the floor. Lin Qingqian was caught off guard and was pushed by him. Her body instinctively retreated, and her feet stepped on the paint as she slid to the ground. Her head hit thedder ced at the side, and blood instantly spurted out¡­ Jiang Yunshen, who was originally fierce, was instantly dumbfounded¡­ In the hospital ward. Lin Qingqian sat on the hospital bed and was being questioned by the two police officers. The door was not closed, and she could see Jiang Yunshen standing at the door, also being questioned by the police with an impatient expression. Suddenly, his expression changed and he called out timidly, ¡°Brother¡­¡± Dressed in a luxurious custom-made suit, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall figure entered Lin Qingqian¡¯s vision. Her dark eyes first nced at Jiang Yunshen, then at the ward, and her eyes became even darker. Gu Xici was also with them. He greeted his two colleagues and they left first. Jiang Yanshen walked into the ward and closed the door. He turned around and looked at the gauze on her forehead, his thin lips pursed into a straight line. His long and slender legs walked him to the bed without him saying a word. Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t seen Jiang Yanshen since the day of the wedding. There wasn¡¯t even any news of him on the Inte. She didn¡¯t expect them to meet under such circumstances. He looked much thinner. ¡°Does it hurt a lot?¡± His thin lips pursed slightly. In the end, he was the first to speak. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect his first sentence to be this. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her pale face and knew that she wasn¡¯t telling the truth. He pulled a chair beside him and sat down. He said calmly, ¡°How do you n to deal with Yunshen¡¯s matter?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment before looking at him. ¡°I¡¯ll make a police report and sue him.. How many days do you think he will be detained for?¡± Chapter 76 - 76: The Jiang Family I Mentioned Just Now Includes You Chapter 76: The Jiang Family I Mentioned Just Now Includes You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I won¡¯t let him be detained,¡± Jiang Yanshen said bluntly. Lin Qingqian was not surprised by his words at all. She lowered her head andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°I knew it would be like this.¡± Jiang Yunshen was his younger brother, so he naturally had to protect him. Otherwise, not only would Jiang Yunshen be embarrassed, but the Jiang family would also be embarrassed. Jiang Yanshen frowned. Seeing her self-deprecating smile, he felt very ufortable, as if he had been pricked by a needle, but his thin lips were pursed tightly and he didn¡¯t say anything. When Lin Qingqian had enough ofughing, she raised her head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have to sue him, but he has topensate me for my losses and sincerely apologize to me.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Jiang Yanshen agreed without hesitation. ¡°What other requests do you have?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°After this, don¡¯t let your Jiang family appear in front of me again.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat suddenly tightened. He lowered his long eyshes and subconsciously avoided her cold gaze. He turned to the door and said, ¡°Jiang Vilnqhpn opt in ¡± Jiang Yunshen pushed the door open and entered. He nced at Lin Qingqian and then at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s back. ¡°Brother!¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and looked at him from the side. His low and cold voice was like an order. ¡°Apologize.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief and anger. ¡°Why? She was the one who hit me first. Moreover, I only pushed her. She lost her bnce on her own and slipped¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen had already walked up to him and kicked his knee. It was so painful that he squatted down and kept rubbing his knee¡­ ¡°Brother¡­¡± He looked up with an unconvinced and cowardly expression. ¡°Apologize!¡± Jiang Yanshen repeated, his cold voice filled with warning. ¡°Looks like you haven¡¯t had enough in Ennd.¡± At the mention of Ennd, Jiang Yunshen¡¯s chrysanthemum tightened instinctively. Thinking of the torture he had been through for more than a month, he felt like he was better off dead. His stubborn expression instantly rxed a lot. He looked at Lin Qingqian and hesitated for a few seconds before squeezing out three words coldly. ¡°I am sorry¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°What did you say? I didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Jiang Yunshen mumbled again with a disdainful expression. Lin Qingqian: ¡°I still can¡¯t hear it clearly!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s knee probably didn¡¯t hurt anymore. He suddenly stood up. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t go too far¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen kicked him again. Jiang Yunshen squatted down again, his brows furrowed from the pain. He looked up at Jiang Yanshen with an using gaze. Am I still your dearest brother? Jiang Yanshen turned his head coldly and pretended not to see it. A faint smile appeared on Lin Qingqian¡¯s pale face. ¡°Director Jiang, looks like Second Young Master Jiang doesn¡¯t know what a sincere apology is.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head, his eyes like knives. ¡°Jiang Yunshen.¡± Jiang Yunshen suddenly had goosebumps all over his body. He was unwilling but helpless. He could only suppress his anger and whisper, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have touched you.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t realize his mistake at all. It was just because he was scared of Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Forget it, all of you can leave.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked disdainfully at the lump squatting on the ground. ¡°Scram!¡± Jiang Yunshen stood up and red at Lin Qingqian unhappily. He turned around and limped out. Jiang Yanshen stood in front of the bed and didn¡¯t leave. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll get Song Qin to handle the studio¡¯s matters. Have a good rest. A neurologist wille over to do a detailed checkup for youter.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lowered eyelids slowly lifted. When she looked at him, her red lips curled up slightly, and every word was clear¡ª ¡°The Jiang family that I mentioned includes you..¡± Chapter 77 - 77: Lin Qjngqian, I’m Not Done With You! Chapter 77: Lin Qjngqian, I¡¯m Not Done With You! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Jiang Yanshen returned to the Jiang family, Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu were still shopping and drinking tea outside. When the servants saw himing in with a cold aura, they consciously retreated and didn¡¯t dare to approach. He went upstairs but after taking a few steps, he thought of something and suddenly stopped. He said coldly, ¡°Tell Jiang Yunshen toe and see me.¡± After saying this, he strode upstairs. The servants did not dare to hesitate and quickly went to inform Second Young Master. Jiang Yunshen knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Brother¡­¡± Before he could react, a kicknded on his knee. Jiang Yunshen knelt on the ground in pain and looked up in disbelief. ¡°Brother, why did you hit me again!¡± Jiang Yanshen had already taken off his suit jacket. As he unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, he looked at him disdainfully. ¡°Jiang Yunshen, youid hands on a woman. Is this all you¡¯re worth?¡± Jiang Yunshen retorted indignantly, ¡°She was the one who pped me first. Even my parents have never hit me like this since I was young.¡± ¡°Who told you to go and look for trouble with her?¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s anger immediately dissipated by half when he heard his question. He snorted and said, ¡°She embarrassed you in public and made our Jiang family aughing stock. What¡¯s wrong with me teaching her a lesson?¡± Unrepentant! Jiang Yanshen kicked his waist again. ¡°She embarrassed me. Even if it¡¯s about losing face, it¡¯s my face. What does it have to do with you?!¡± Jiang Yunshen held his waist in pain. He was angry but helpless, so he could only retort aggrievedly, ¡°You¡¯re my brother, of course it¡¯s my business! Brother, she doesn¡¯t want you anymore, but you¡¯re still so protective of her. Don¡¯t tell me you really fell in love with that vige girl¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen kicked him again. Jiang Yunsheny on the ground and didn¡¯t get up. He cried, ¡°Brother, am I still your biological brother?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold as he warned his brother coldly, ¡°From now on, stay away from her. If you dare to find trouble with her or touch her again, I¡¯ll break your legs and throw you back to Ennd. You can forget abouting back for the rest of your life.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡® Damn it! What kind of bewitching potion did that vige girl Lin Qingqian give Brother to make him defend her so much!! Lin Qingqian, I¡¯m not done with you!! Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t know what Jiang Yunshen was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely beat him up until he couldn¡¯t leave the house for a month. He took off his shirt and threw it on the sofa before taking out a dark ck shirt from the closet to put it on. As he buttoned his cuffs, he walked to the door and stepped over Jiang Yunshen. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± There¡¯s really no love left, my Brother! Bar 1942. Jiang Yanshen pushed open the door of the private room and saw that Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang were already drinking. When Lu Qinshang saw him, he immediately poured him water. ¡°Ah Yan, I heard that Jiang Yunshen hit Lin Qingqian. Tell me if it¡¯s true.¡± His dark eyes were filled with gossip. He was apletely different person from the mature and steady idol in the camera. Jiang Yanshen nced at him in disdain. ¡°Who¡¯s gossiping again? ¡°Of course it¡¯s Lu Yuan!¡± Lu Qinshang betrayed Assistant Lu without thinking. ¡°I heard that Jiang Yunshen bought paint the moment he got off the ne to cause trouble. Even Lu Yuan couldn¡¯t stop him.¡± Jiang Yanshen drank a ss of water with a dark expression. He had rushed back after receiving the news that Jiang Yunshen wasing back, but he was still a step toote¡­ Seeing that he didn¡¯t look too good, Gu Xici secretly kicked Lu Qinshang to shut him up. ¡°Is Lin Qingqian alright?¡± ¡°I think so,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied in a low voice. Gu Xici was a little puzzled. Lin Qingqian was already fine, so why was he still unhappy? ¡°Is she angry because you won¡¯t let her call the police?¡± Chapter 78 - 78: Jiang Yanshen looked up and said coldly, “What is love?â€� Chapter 78: Jiang Yanshen looked up and said coldly, ¡°What is love?¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen looked up at him without saying anything. Gu Xici knew that he had guessed correctly. ¡°You didn¡¯t tell her about your second uncle?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s second uncle, Jiang Zhong, was definitely not a kind person. Jiang Yunshen was his only son. If he knew that Lin Qingqian had touched Jiang Yunshen, he would definitely not let Lin Qingqian off. It wasn¡¯t that he couldn¡¯t protect Lin Qingqian, but now that everyone in Lan City knew that they were divorced, enemies might target her. It was easy to defend in the open, but difficult to guard against others in the dark. Moreover¡­ Qianqian didn¡¯t want to see him at all. Lu Qinshang acted as if it had nothing to do with him. ¡°In my opinion, you two are no longer rted. Why do you care if she offends your second uncle or not?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him from the corner of his eye and pursed his lips coldly without saying anything. The private room fell into a strange silence. Lu Qinshang turned to look at Gu Xici and asked, ¡°What¡¯s the situation now?¡± Gu Xici¡¯s eyes replied, ¡°How would I know?¡± Just as the two of them were exchanging nces, Jiang Yanshen suddenly said, ¡°Do you know how to make a woman who loves youe back to your side?¡± The two of them were stunned. Lu Qinshang looked like he had seen a ghost. ¡°Ah Yan, are you alright? Don¡¯t tell me¡­ you really fell in love with Lin Qingqian?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and said coldly, ¡®What is love?¡± The familiar tone made Lu Qinshang heave a sigh of relief. ¡°Love is when you want to sleep with someone.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s eyebrows twitched. He kicked him and looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. Love is¡­ He thought for a moment and said, ¡°If you can¡¯t see her, you¡¯d miss her very much. When you see good things, you¡¯d want to buy them for her. When you¡¯re obviously very angry, you still can¡¯t bear to hurt her and see her sad.¡± Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes and gulped down his ss of wine. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes drooped. After a moment of silence, he pondered and said, ¡°I see¡­¡± Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang looked at each other. ¡°Ah Yan, you¡ª¡± Just as they finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen looked at them and said in a low voice, ¡°Then it must be that I love her.¡± Gu Xici Lu Qinshang: ¡°So what should I do to make her change her mind and fall in love with me again?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked seriously. Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched Gu Xici¡¯s thigh. ¡°Ah Ci, quickly tell me if it hurts. Am I dreaming?¡± Ah Yan actually said that he loved Lin Qingqian!! He actually said it!!! Gu Xici kicked him away in pain. F*ck, why didn¡¯t this idiot pinch himself? He looked at Jiang Yanshen and asked with uncertainty, ¡°Ah Yan, can you really tell if you love Lin Qingqian, not out of habit or¡­ unwillingness?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold ck brows were tightly knitted, as if he was looking at a retard. Gu Xici Lu Qinshang still found it difficult to ept the fact that Jiang Yan loved Lin Qingqian. He frowned and said in deep thought, ¡°Ah Ci, do you think Ah Yan has Stockholm syndrome?¡± Gu Xici rolled his eyes at him. ¡°Shut up, retard.¡± Lu Qinshang silently raised his ss and gulped down two sses. He couldn¡¯t figure out how Jiang Yanshen could fall in love with Lin Qingqian! Seven years. For seven years, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t fall in love with Lin Qingqian. Why did he suddenly fall in love with her now? Gu Xici looked at Jiang Yanshen and suddenlyughed mysteriously. ¡°Based on her attitude towards you recently, it¡¯s a little difficult for you to make her fall in love with you again!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked in confusion.. Chapter 79 - 79: Women Are Indeed Strange! Chapter 79: Women Are Indeed Strange! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Women are very strange creatures. At some point, she will suddenly stop loving the man she loved.¡± Gu Xici shrugged helplessly. ¡°The kind that even ten cows won¡¯t be able to pull her back!¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡® Women are indeed very strange! Just like how he never understood why Lin Qingqian fell in love with him back then. She loved him so much that she didn¡¯t hesitate and flew to him like a moth to a me. Lu Qinshang, who had already drunk himself to the point of being slightly tipsy, put his arm around his shoulder and said, ¡°What¡¯s so strange about them? Women are like puppies. As long as someone gives her a bone, she will go with them.¡± ¡°Believe me, send Lin Qingqian flowers daily for a month, treat her to a meal from time to time, and create some surprises and romance from time to time. I promise she¡¯ll fall in love with you again!¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Xici. Can I believe what he said? Gu Xici touched his chin and looked puzzled. If he could be trusted, why was he still single among the three of us? Jiang Yanshen felt that Gu Xici¡¯s doubts were right. He shook off Lu Qinshang¡¯s hand and stood up to leave. Lu Qinshang looked up and narrowed his eyes. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked to the door and said without turning his head, ¡°Caring for stray animals.¡± Lu Qinshang ¡® Gu Xici ¡°¡­¡± What happened to not believing Lu Qinshang¡¯s words? He finished the wine in his ss, put down the ss, and got up to leave. Lu Qinshang: ¡°F*ck! Why are you leaving too?¡± ¡°The bureau has been very busy recently!¡± He answered without looking back, leaving behind a very busy back view for him. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang could not help but roll his eyes. ¡°Are the two of you still my brothers?¡± ¡°One never drinks when hees to a bar, and the other always drinks only two sses before leaving. You guys are really busy and arrogant. Don¡¯t you know that my business is worth millions? You¡¯re still unhappy when I drink with you!¡± Lu Qinshang was very angry. If he was angry, he would drink. Then, he would get himself drunk¡­ When Jiang Yanshen arrived at the hospital, Song Qin was still guarding the door. When he saw him walking over, she immediately went forward and lowered her voice. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡¯ Jiang Yanshen walked to the door of the ward and stopped. He looked into the ward through the ss door. Lin Qingqian was sitting on the bed and eating. There was a girl sitting beside her. It should be her friend called Yan something. ¡°What did the doctor say?¡± Probably because he did not want to rm the people in the ward, he lowered his voice. Song Qin said, ¡°The doctor has examined her. It¡¯s just a superficial wound on the head. There¡¯s no other problem. To be safe, she¡¯ll need to stay in the hospital for observation for another night. If nothing happens, she can be discharged tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°It¡¯s enough to stay just one night for observation?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Song Qin hesitated for a few seconds and carefully guessed his true intentions. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go to the attending doctor and ask him to do a detailed checkup for Madam. She might have to stay in the hospital for two more days?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded with a serious expression. Song Qin¡¯s emotions were indescribable. It was the feeling of an idol¡¯s halo copsing when the person you had always admired, the person who stood on a high pedestal, suddenly walked down the pedestal and even did some small bad things. However, when she thought about how Director Jiang was just chasing after his wife, she felt that it was understandable. If men were not bad, women would not love them. Before she turned around, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°Tell the doctor not to leave a scar, no matter what.¡± Song Qin replied, ¡°Understood.¡± She turned around and walked a few steps. Then, she thought of something and turned back. She said hesitantly, ¡°Director Jiang, Special Assistant Lu said that he did his best¡­ If you¡¯re angry, you can punish him to dig coal. Just don¡¯t let him go to Ennd.¡± Because Lu Yuan didn¡¯t stop Jiang Yunshen, he was so frightened that he returned to thepany and hid, not daring to see Jiang Yanshen. If it wasn¡¯t for him begging her, Song Qin wouldn¡¯t have helped him pass the message. After all, they werepetitors! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Tell him that if there¡¯s a next time, he can scram back to Jiang City.¡± Song Qin didn¡¯t quite understand what he meant, so she didn¡¯t dare to ask further. She nodded and went to find the doctor. In the ward, Lin Qingqian had just finished dinner. Yan Sui asked her to take her medicine and helped her lie down beforeing out of the ward with her bag. The moment she opened the door, she saw the man standing at the door. Just as she was about to scream in fear, Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and warned her in a low and cold voice, ¡°Don¡¯t make a sound..¡± Chapter 80 - 80: I Shouldn ‘t Have Slapped Jiang Yunshen Yesterday Chapter 80: I Shouldn ¡®t Have pped Jiang Yunshen Yesterday Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui was frightened by his gaze and immediately shut her mouth, not daring to make a sound. Jiang Yanshen let go and took a step back. His gazended on the person in the ward. ¡°How is she?¡± Suisui swallowed secretly and tried her best to calm her heart. She whispered, ¡°Qianqian took the medicine and said that she¡¯s a little tired and wants to rest.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her without saying anything. Suisui said carefully, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded expressionlessly. Suisui turned around and ran as if she had been pardoned. Her idol was very cute, and her idol¡¯s friend¡­ was trash. Jiang Yanshen stood at the door of the ward and didn¡¯t enter for a long time. He only 100Ked at ner quietly tnrougn tne ss. When Lin Qingqian said that she was tired and wanted to rest, she wasn¡¯t lying to Suisui. She really felt dizzy and wanted to sleep. Not long after shey down, she fell asleep. In a daze, she felt someone standing by the bed and looking at her. She wanted to open her eyes, but the zing white light made her unable to open them. The tall figure seemed to have been standing there for a long time. The coldness of his fingertips was still on her forehead. Not long after, shepletely fell into darkness. The next morning, Lin Qingqian woke up. There was no one in the ward, and the feelingst night was like a nightmare. The nurse came over for a ward round. When Lin Qingqian talked about being discharged, the nurse said with concern, ¡°You hit your head hard and you don¡¯t look too good. The doctor suggested that you stay in the hospital for another two days for observation.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°. She had no choice but to listen to the doctor. Hence, she could only obediently continue to stay in the hospital. Although there was a lot of blood on her fOrehead, the wound was not big. The nurse had just changed her dressing in the morning when Song Qin walked in with a thermos. ¡°Good morning, Madam. Director Jiang specially asked me to bring you breakfast.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips twitched slightly. ¡°Your Director Jiang and I are already divorced. ¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Song Qin hesitated andpromised, ¡°Miss Qingqian.¡± She had to be careful with addressing her now. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t bother about how to address her. Her gazended on the thermos, and her voice was gentle. ¡°My friend wille to deliver food to me. You don¡¯t have to speciallye over.¡± ¡°Miss Qingqian, are you referring to Miss Yan?¡± Song Qin opened the thermos and said, ¡°Miss Yan is busy with work. Let me handle such a small matter.¡± ¡°Is Tian Yue Corporation going bankrupt?¡± What she meant was that the secretary-general of thepany was actually more free than an employee? ¡°Special Assistant Lu is back.¡± The smile on Song Qin¡¯s face froze for a moment before it quickly returned to its perfect angle. ¡°Although his position is very high, President Jiang still feels that I¡¯m more suitable to take care of people.¡± In fact, it was Lu Yuan who didn¡¯t stop Second Young Master Jiang. Director Jiang was very angry and punished him to do manualbor. As she had been performing too well recently, Director Jiang handed the honorable and great task of taking care of Madam Jiang to her! In front of the Madam, she naturally had to take the opportunity to step on Lu Yuanyuan. Lin Qingqian ¡® Jiang Yanshen¡¯s two right-hand men were also abnormal. Could it be that birds of a feather flock together? Fortunately, Song Qin was not a clumsy person. After Lin Qingqian finished her breakfast, she thoughtfully prepared warm water for her to take her medicine and left with the thermos. Lin Qingqian only had a head injury and her limbs were still fine. Shey on the bed and was bored, so she came down for a walk. She also remembered to call the renovation workers who were still working for her. The workers were already in the shop. The wallpaper that had been pasted previously had to be torn off and re-pasted, and the paint on the ground had to be cleaned. This way, the opening ceremony would probably have to be postponed for a while. Thinking of this, Lin Qingqian regretted it a little. She shouldn¡¯t have given Jiang Yunshen a p yesterday. She should have given him many ps! Chapter 81 - 81: Do You Love That He’s Old? Or Do You Love That He Doesn’t Shower? Chapter 81: Do You Love That He¡¯s Old? Or Do You Love That He Doesn¡¯t Shower? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions During Lin Qingqian¡¯s hospitalization, Song Qin delivered three meals daily. Also, the doctors and nurses had probably been instructed beforehand. They took care of her meticulously, but they would not pry into her private matters. Suisui had also been here once. After sitting for a while, she went back. Her expression was still a little strange, and she looked like she wanted to say something. Lin Qingqian, who was thinking about the studio, didn¡¯t think much about it. When the doctor said that she could be discharged, she went through the discharge procedures that very afternoon. As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she saw Song Qin standing beside a ck Maybach. ¡°Miss Qingqian, let me send you back.¡± At this moment, it was rush hour, so it wasn¡¯t easy to take a taxi. Hence, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reject her and got into the car. ¡°Let¡¯s go to my studio.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± Director Jiang ordered me to send you home safely! Before she had the chance to say the rest, Lin Qingqian said calmly and firmly, ¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient, please stop the car. I¡¯ll take a taxi by myself.¡± When Song Qin heard that, she immediately took out her phone and secretly informed Director Jiang! ! Midsummer passed unknowingly, and the temperature in Lan City gradually turned cold. When Lin Qingqian got out of the car, the lights had just been turned on. A cold breeze blew over, and she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. The lights were already on in the studio. When she walked in, she didn¡¯t see the renovation workers, but¡ª Jiang Yunshen. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Yunshen, who was in the midst of scraping paint, looked up and saw Lin Qingqian. His expression instantly turned ugly, and the small shovel in his hand fell. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± His Elder Brother had forced him to help clean up the paint so he had been scraping for the entire day, and his hands were blistered from the friction. His brother had given him a death order; he was not allowed to go back until the paint on the ground was cleaned up. Lin Qingqian curled her lips into a mocking smile. ¡°Second Young Master Jiang, get this straight. You were the one who sshed the paint on the ground. You reap what you sow.¡± Jiang Yunshen was speechless. After a long time, he squeezed out, ¡°You jinx, you¡¯re my nemesis.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Thank you for thepliment.¡± Ahhhhh! I really want to k*ll her so much! Lin Qingqian ignored him and scanned the walls of the studio. There were new wallpapers,mps, mirrors, and hangers. Most of the work waspleted, leaving only the paint on the floor. After half a month of venttion to get rid of the smell, she could contact some economanies to discuss cooneration- Lin Qingqian was thinking about the next step when she suddenly heard Jiang Yunshen¡¯s voice. ¡°Go and tell my brother that you don¡¯t want me to scrape anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at him. Her red lips clearly squeezed out two words. ¡°No way.¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned. ¡®Why? Don¡¯t you hate me? Shouldn¡¯t you be happy that you won¡¯t have to see me anymore?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. ¡°I¡¯m even happier to see you squatting on the ground scraping paint.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Damn it! I knew this woman was shrewd and ruthless. When I told Big Brother back then, he didn¡¯t believe me! ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re so vicious. Aren¡¯t you afraid that Big Brother will see your true colors?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him sympathetically. ¡°I don¡¯t even want your big brother anymore, why would I care about how he looks at me?¡± Jiang Yunshen was suffocating. Why was this woman different from before?! No, she had gotten even more annoying than before!! Just as Jiang Yunshen was about to go crazy, he suddenly saw a figure from the corner of his eye. He suddenly said, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you really don¡¯t love my brother anymore?¡± ¡°Why would I love a man like Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian replied indifferently. ¡°Should I love him for being old? Or should I love him for not bathing?¡±O When she turned around, she saw the man standing at the door. His dark eyes were unreadable.. Chapter 82 - 82: Don’t Tell Me This Is Also To Apologize Chapter 82: Don¡¯t Tell Me This Is Also To Apologize Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen: The atmosphere seemed to be suffocating. Jiang Yunshen was petrified at first, then he looked like he was waiting to watch a good show. ¡°Bumpkin, boor, hillbilly, watch how my brother deals with you!¡± To his surprise, Jiang Yanshen wasn¡¯t angry. He didn¡¯t even frown. He strode in with his long legs and stared at her calmly. ¡°Why were you discharged so soon?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine now,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Jiang Yanshen nodded and didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian turned sideways and pointed at Jiang Yunshen behind her. ¡°Why is he here?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at the dumbfounded Second Young Master Jiang and said coldly, ¡°Yunshen has been spoiled by Second Uncle since he was young. It¡¯s time to teach him something.¡± In other words, he wanted to use this opportunity to train Jiang Yunshen. Of course, he had some selfish motives. With Jiang Yunshen here, he coulde and see her openly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows were tightly knitted, and the hatred in her eyes was not just a little bit. ¡°It¡¯s enough topensate for the losses. As for Second Young Master Jiang¡¯s training, I¡¯m not a charitable organization.¡± Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°What¡¯s more educational than letting him pay for his actions?¡± The two of them spoke one after another like a couple discussing the education of brats. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°Hey! Can the two of you stop preaching like my parents?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°Scrape your paint.¡± Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian spoke at the same time and red at him. Jiang Yunshen rolled his eyes and squatted down to pick up the small shovel to continue scraping paint. Jiang Yanshen looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Song Qin booked a cafeteria nearby.¡± The meaning of his words was obvious, but he had never invited a girl to dinner, so the way he invited her was indirect. Lin Qingqian pretended not to understand what he meant. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb Director Jiang¡¯s meal.¡± She said as she was about to leave. Just then, Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist. Lin Qingqian turned back to look at the well-defined fingers on her wrist and slowly moved up to look at the man¡¯s handsome face¡­ The man¡¯s deep eyes were filled with even more displeasure. His fingertips pinched her wrist tightly, and his tone was as calm as usual. ¡°Jiang Yunshen did go overboard this time. I apologize to you on his behalf.¡± Lin Qingqian really wanted to say no, but when she saw the man¡¯srge palm, she was worried that her wrist would break the moment she said ¡°no¡±. It was just a meal, not like she would lose a piece of meat. ¡°Alright, you can let go of my hand now.¡± Jiang Yanshen was a little reluctant, but he still let go. He made a gentlemanly gesture. Ladies first. Jiang Yunshen, who was squatting on the ground, looked at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s back. ¡°Brother, I haven¡¯t had dinner yet.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said expressionlessly, ¡°If you don¡¯t clean up all the paint by tonight, you can pack up and get ready for Ennd tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Goodbye, you¡¯re not my brother at all!! It was a ten-minute walk from the studio to the cafeteria. The attendant opened the door enthusiastically and said in a sweet voice, ¡°Wee, this way please.¡± It was clearly the peak period for meals, but there were no customers in the restaurant. The lights were dim, the ground was filled with balloons, and there were champagne roses on the table¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows knitted tighter and tighter until she walked to the dining table and saw arge bouquet of red roses ced on the seat. She was not overjoyed but surprised before turning to look at the man¡ª ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s all to make amends.¡± This was clearly the preparation for a confession.. It could not have anything to do with an apology! Chapter 83 - 83: Are You Cursing Me in Your Heart Again? Chapter 83: Are You Cursing Me in Your Heart Again? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen clearly felt her displeasure and pushed the me away without changing his expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Song Qin prepared all of this.¡± In other words, he did not know. Lin Qingqian thought about how Song Qin had gone to look for her previously. Looking at his sincere expression, she believed that his capable secretary had made the decision on her own. How could this dog of a man understand the romantic plots that only existed in these movies? Jiang Yanshen asked the attendant to take everything away, before he pulled out the seat. Lin Qingqian sat down and said mysteriously, ¡°Director Jiang really found a considerate secretary.¡± Jiang Yanshen sat down opposite her and thought for a moment. ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll fire her.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® What does it have to do with me whether you change your secretary or not? Lin Qingqian pretended not to understand his words and took a sip of the lemonade in front of her. Dinner was personally ordered by Song Qin. The restaurant¡¯s signature steak was paired with top-notch red wine, and there was even a musician ying on the side. However, seeing that she didn¡¯t like this atmosphere, Jiang Yanshen signaled to the attendant that there was no need for all that. The meal ended in silence. Lin Qingqian put down her napkin and didn¡¯t even give him a chance to say the words ¡°Let me send you back¡±. She stood up and said, ¡°Thank you for the dinner, Director Jiang. Goodbye.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say a word. Instead, he stood up and followed behind her. When they walked out of the cafeteria, hisrge palm grabbed her wrist again and carried her on his shoulder. Before Lin Qingqian could react, she was already in the car. Jiang Yanshen only squeezed out one word. ¡°Drive.¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen!¡± She couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice. Jiang Yanshen nced at her. ¡°You¡¯re not calling me Director Jiang anymore?¡± From the moment she called out Director Jiang, he wanted to tell her to shut up. He endured it again and again, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t help it. They used to have the closest rtionship, but she now only called him¡ª Director Jiang. Lin Qingqian closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She scolded the dog of a man a few times in her heart and tried her best to calm her anger. She opened her eyes and said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what exactly do you want?¡± No matter how stupid she was, she could tell that Jiang Yanshen hade to see her on purpose. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were deep and sharp as he asked, ¡°Are you cursing me in your heart again?¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® How did he know that? Jiang Yanshen knew that he had guessed correctly when he saw her expression. His lips curled up. ¡°You can scold me if you want. There¡¯s no need to hold it in.¡± Compared to her pretending to be obedient or polite and distant, he preferred her truest self. Lin Qingqian moved to the side, her clear eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Are you still Jiang Yanshen?¡± Jiang Yanshen bent his head sideways and approached her bit by bit. Her uneasy and nervous face was clearly reflected in his dark eyes, as his thin lips curled up slightly¡ª ¡°What if¡­ I say I¡¯m not?¡± His warm breathnded on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face, and her ears inexplicably burned. Familiar facial features and familiar aura. Who else could it be but Jiang Yanshen? Lin Qingqian swallowed secretly and forced herself to look away from his whirlpool-like gaze. She looked out of the car window. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I meant what I said in the hospital.¡± Her voice regained its calmness and stability. Seeing that she was unwilling to look at him, Jiang Yanshen sat up straight again. His peripheral vision stillnded on the side of her face, and his lowered eyes blocked the light that shed in them. The car stopped at an apartment building. Lin Qingqian did not wait for the chauffeur to open the door. When she pushed open the car door and got out, a manly deep voice came from the darkness of the car¡ª Lin Qingqian¡¯s back suddenly stiffened. Then, as if she didn¡¯t hear anything, she straightened her back and walked in. Chapter 84 - 84: You Can Regret It, But I Won’t Look Back Chapter 84: You Can Regret It, But I Won¡¯t Look Back Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The room lit up with orange light. It was quiet, and the white window curtains that were not closed fluttered in the wind. Lin Qingqian walked to the bed and looked down. The car parked downstairs disyed no intention of driving away. The man¡¯s deep voice echoed in her ears. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯m only three years older than you. I shower no less than twice a day, and¡ªI regret it.¡± Did he regret it? Jiang Yanshen, what do you regret? However, no matter what, you can regret it, but I won¡¯t look back. Her porcin -white fingers pulled the curtains open and closed them tightly. The next day, Lin Qingqian went to the studio after breakfast. The paint on the ground had already been cleaned up, and even the subsequent works had ended. Lin Qingqian went on Weibo. Because she had helped Luo Tianxue stylest time, the number of fans had directly increased to one million. However, when she opened her inbox, there was no invitation from celebrity managers nor coboration requests. She felt that something was wrong, so she sent a WeChat message to Suisui to ask what was going on. Suisui made a voice call. ¡°Qianqian, I didn¡¯t tell you as you were injured. I was afraid that you would feel anxious, so I didn¡¯t tell you. I don¡¯t know how the incident that night went out. That f*ggot is very angry and most of the celebrities in the industry are on good terms with him. Now, they probably don¡¯t want to work with you because of him.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but frown. Not many people knew about what happened that night. Tony definitely wouldn¡¯t tell anyone about such an embarrassing matter, so only Luo Tianxue and Brother Ming could be responsible. However, she could not rule out the possibility that someone had eavesdropped outside. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯m afraid there are no celebrities in the entertainment industry who¡¯d dare to work with you now. Why don¡¯t you¡ª¡± Suisui hesitated on the phone and said, ¡°Try going to your ex-husband?¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and felt that her words were strange. ¡°Don¡¯t you hate him the most?¡± ¡°Disliking him doesn¡¯t mean you can¡¯t get help from him!¡± Suisui spoke to her in a low voice. ¡°I never told you. Actually, on the night you were hospitalized, Jiang Yanshen wanted to see you, but he didn¡¯t go in. He only kept guard at the door.¡± Actually, she was about to leave that day, but she was a little worried. Hence, she hid at the corner of the corridor to observe the situation. In the end, her legs were already sore from standing, but Jiang Yanshen still did not enter the ward. Moreover, Jiang Yanshen did not look as cold and heartless as Qianqian had said. Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly. For some reason, she thought of that nightmare, where the man was standing by the bed¡­ Could it be that it wasn¡¯t a dream, but¡­ Jiang Yanshen? Suisui encouraged her on the other end of the phone. ¡°You didn¡¯t ask for anything in the divorce. It¡¯s not too much to ask him for such a small favor! No matter how unyielding we are, we shouldn¡¯t go against our stomachs!¡± Suisui knew that she had put in all her savings for this studio. Now, she should De snort or money. ¡°It¡¯s toote!¡± Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯ve alreadypletely offended himst night. He probably won¡¯t want to see me for the time being.¡± With her understanding of Jiang Yanshen, someone as arrogant as him would no longer bother with her. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re going to die before you even seed!¡± Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t worried or anxious. She smiled andforted Suisui. ¡°It¡¯s alright, there is always a way out. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, I can still go back and help Auntie raise pigs.¡± Lin Qingqian ended the call. Since no one would look for her for a coboration for the time being, she had nothing to do. Therefore, she decided to go shopping. Next to the studio was Lan City¡¯s top luxury brands. Lin Qingqian went straight to the store she was familiar with. As soon as she walked in, she was stopped by someone. The salesperson said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, we can¡¯t receive other customers now..¡± Chapter 85 - 85: Don’t Worry, I Don’t Have Anything But Money. See How I Slam Them With Money Chapter 85: Don¡¯t Worry, I Don¡¯t Have Anything But Money. See How I m Them With Money Lin Qingqian nced around the shop but didn¡¯t see anyone. ¡°I don¡¯t see anyone in the shop, why can¡¯t I enter?¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly. The salesperson nced at her. From the looks of it, she didn¡¯t have more than ten thousand yuan on her. She didn¡¯t hide the impatience on her face. ¡°I already said that we won¡¯t entertain you. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Her eyes said: Can you afford it? Lin Qingqian was not unfamiliar with this kind of salesperson who had their noses in the air. She did not argue with her. She did not really want to shop here in the first ce. She turned around and prepared to leave. ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this Lin Qingqian?¡± A cold mocking voice came from behind. Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned around to see Li Ruzhu and her little sister, Ling Shuang. Now that Lin Qingqian was no longer Jiang Yanshen¡¯s wife and had caused such a scene at the wedding, the Jiang family disliked her even more. Li Ruzhu was still living in the Jiang family. At this moment, she naturally looked like a victor. When Lin Qingqian saw her, the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°So it¡¯s Madam Jiang¡¯s goddaughter.¡± She emphasized the word goddaughter and deliberately mocked Li Ruzhu. So what if she lived in the Jiang family? She was just an adopted goddaughter and not the biological daughter of the Jiang family. Li Ruzhu¡¯s smile froze. After a moment, she reacted and said, ¡°It can¡¯t be helped that Auntie dotes on me, unlike some people who are already ex-wives.¡± ¡°Oh, right¡­¡± She looked at Lin Qingqian provocatively. ¡°I heard that you were left with nothing when you divorced. Since you haven¡¯t worked for so many years, can you afford the things here?¡± When the salesperson heard that she couldn¡¯t afford it, she immediately said, ¡°If you can¡¯t afford it, don¡¯te in, and don¡¯t affect our esteemed guests.¡± After saying that, she looked at Li Ruzhu eagerly. ¡°Miss Li, this way please.¡± Miss Li was a VIP customer of their shop. Every season, new designs woulde. Theirmission came mainly from Miss Li. Li Ruzhu¡¯s lips curled into a smug smile before she turned and walked to the mirror¡­ The other two sales assistants were standing in front of Lin Qingqian, wanting to force her out. Lin Qingqian had no intention of getting into a conflict with them. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a fair finger suddenly appeared on her shoulder. She turned her head and saw a fake smile on her palm-sized face. ¡°She can¡¯t afford it, but I can!¡± The two sales assistants, including Li Ruzhu, turned their heads at the same time and recognized Luo Tianxue at a nce. ¡°Luo, Luo Tianxue¡­¡± The salesperson saw her excitement and disbelief. Luo Tianxue held Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm. ¡°Qingqian, feel free to choose. Add anything you like to my bill today.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. ¡°Miss Luo¡­¡± Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted. Luo Tianxue lowered her voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t have anything but money. Just watch how I m them with money.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® Luo Tianxue nced around and casually picked a few dresses. ¡°This one, this one, and this one¡­ She paused and looked at Li Ruzhu. ¡°I want this too.¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°I took a fancy to this dress first.¡± Luo Tianxue took out a ck card from her blue handbag and smiled. ¡°But I paid first!¡± Li Ruzhu also took out her credit card without thinking. ¡°I want this dress! ¡± Originally, she didn¡¯t have to buy this dress, but Luo Tianxue snatched it from her so tantly. How could she lose face like that? Just as Luo Tianxue was about to say that she would buy it at double the price, Lin Qingqian hurriedly pulled her back and looked at the salesperson with clear eyes. ¡°Miss Li wants to buy this dress. Why aren¡¯t you settling the bill for her?¡± Seeing that Luo Tianxue had no intention of snatching it, the salesperson took the credit card and went to pay. Li Ruzhu raised her chin proudly. Luo Tianxue was displeased.. ¡°Why won¡¯t you let me buy it? I have money! Chapter 86 - 86: It’s equivalent to Jiang Yanshen Raising This Green Tea B*tch! Chapter 86: It¡¯s equivalent to Jiang Yanshen Raising This Green Tea B*tch! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian nced at the smug Li Ruzhu and said lightly, ¡°That dress doesn¡¯t suit you. Pick something else.¡± Luo Tianxue pouted and looked at her usingly. ¡°Evil person! You won¡¯t let me spend money!¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and said in a low voice, ¡°That single item is worth about 100,000 yuan. Her credit card she¡¯s using is Madam Jiang¡¯s supplementary card and the limit is 100,000 yuan.¡± Luo Tianxue immediately understood and waited to watch the show. As expected, after a while, the salesperson came back with the credit card. ¡°Miss Li, there¡¯s not enough money in your credit card. Can you pass me another card to pay for it?¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s expression changed. She raised her voice and said, ¡°How is that possible? The upper limit of my card is 100,000!¡± The smile on the salesperson¡¯s face was a little subtle. ¡°Miss Li, this dress is thetest design for the current season. The original price is 100,000 yuan. But since you¡¯re a VIP user, you¡¯ll get a discounted price of 98,888 yuan.¡± ¡® Li Ruzhu was stunned. Although she often bought this brand, most of them cost 30 to 40 thousand yuan. She did not expect this one to cost 100,000 yuan!! ¡°Miss Li, the designer of this dress, is our chief designer. This is the only dress!¡± The salesperson exined kindly. Li Ruzhu¡¯s nails were about to dig into her palms. She had to be crazy to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a dress!! Luo Tianxue gloated. ¡°You¡¯re Madam Jiang¡¯s goddaughter, so you can be considered Jiang Yanshen¡¯s godsister, right? Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t even afford a dress?¡± ¡°Of course I can afford it!¡± Li Ruzhu gritted her teeth and took out another card from her bag and handed it to the salesperson. It was indeed painful to spend 100,000 yuan to buy a dress, but it couldn¡¯t bepared to embarrassing herself in front of Lin Qingqian. Luo Tianxue saw that Li Ruzhu¡¯s hand was trembling when she handed the card over. It was hard for her to hold back herughter. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°It¡¯s like her flesh has been cut off for 100,000 yuan. If it¡¯s 200,000 yuan, she¡¯ll jump into the river!¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Madam Jiang¡¯s monthly expenses are covered by Jiang Yanshen. The upper limit is 500,000 yuan.¡± The fact that she could give Li Ruzhu 100,000 yuan was already her bottom line. Once it exceeds this amount, she would feel ufortable no matter how much she loved her. Luo Tianxue raised her eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s equivalent to Jiang Yanshen raising this green tea b*tch!¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°. Although that was not the truth, it seemed to be the case after hearing what she said. Luo Tianxue snorted angrily. ¡°As expected, he¡¯s handsome and has bad morals. Fortunately, he rejected me back then. Otherwise, how many love rivals would I have to deal with?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re dealing with me first?¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand!¡± ¡°Originally, I wasn¡¯t sure it was you, but the way you denied it just now was already enough to reveal what you intended to hide.¡± She knew that Tony had made things difficult for her, but she wasn¡¯t sure that it was caused by Luo Tianxue . Luo Tianxue pouted and said guiltily, ¡°Who asked you to marry the man I liked? At least let me vent a little.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her with her clear eyes, as if she could see through her. ¡°Just to vent?¡± ¡°I also want you to do a few more stylings for me.¡± Knowing that she could not hide it from her, she told her honestly what she was thinking. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again!¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly, but she wasn¡¯t angry. Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes lit up and happily held her arm, ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re the best. I want to give you a gift, so you can choose whatever you want.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Can I not choose?¡± ¡°No!¡± Luo Tianxue pushed her to the clothes rack. ¡°Pick quickly!¡± When Lin Qingqian heard her say this, she started to pick seriously. Li Ruzhu had already changed out of her clothes. The salesperson packed it up and handed it to Li Ruzhu along with the silver credit card. Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t forget to add fuel to the fire. ¡°Buying a dress with a month¡¯s living expenses.. Hope you won¡¯t be so heartbroken that you can¡¯t sleep at night!¡± Chapter 87 - 87: I Want to See How Long You Can Protect This Little B*stard Chapter 87: I Want to See How Long You Can Protect This Little B*stard Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Ruzhu red at her and left with her expensive dress. Of course, she would inevitably be lectured by Madam Jiang when she returned. Luo Tianxue was in a good mood when she saw her suffering. She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message. Tian Yue Corporation, conference room. Jiang Yanshen sat at the master seat and looked at the PowerPoint presentation on the projection. The man beside him casually held his phone and chuckled. Jiang Yanshen frowned and looked at him unhappily. ¡°Lu Dongcheng, if you don¡¯t want to cooperate, you can go out now.¡± Lu Dongcheng didn¡¯t mind his anger. He handed the phone to him and said, ¡°Director Jiang, you¡¯re so stingy to pay 100,000 yuan a month for a sugar baby.¡± Jiang Yanshen saw the words on the phone screen clearly and couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°How does Luo Tianxue know Qianqian?¡± ¡°Madam Jiang, no, I should call her Miss Lin. She helped Tianxue do her hair once before. Tianxue likes her very much.¡± Lu Dongcheng took back his phone. As he replied to the WeChat, he said, ¡°Even if Miss Lin embarrassed you at the wedding, she has been with you for a few years after all. Yet you made her leave with nothing. Now, she can¡¯t even afford a decent dress. Tsk, tsk, tsk¡­¡± His final tsk was filled with sarcasm. Jiang Yanshen nced at him coldly from the corner of his eye and stood up. ¡°Let¡¯s rest for fifteen minutes.¡± After saying that, he left the executives in the meeting room and looked at each other before striding out of the meeting room. Song Qin followed behind him and watched him enter the elevator. Before she could enter, she heard the man¡¯s deep and cold voice. ¡°Go and check what happened to her recently.¡± A few minutester, Song Qin knocked on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s office door and reported everything that had happened to Lin Qingqian recently. When he heard that Tony had joined forces with the other celebrities to ostracize Lin Qingqian, his brows knitted tighter and tighter, and his handsome face was like white frost. ¡°Go deal with it. Don¡¯t let some disgusting people appear in front of her again.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Song Qin answered without hesitation. She was secretly d that Director Jiang really valued Miss Qingqian. Fortunately, she had never disrespected her before. When Song Qin went out, Lu Dongcheng came in without invitation. He walked to the leather sofa and sat down. He lit a cigarette skillfully. ¡°You don¡¯t look like you don¡¯t care about her. How did you get rejected so miserably in public?¡± His nonchnt tone was filled with mockery. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyes nced at him for a moment before looking down again. He had no intention of talking to him at all. Lu Dongcheng held the cigarette butt between his fingers and said in a wanton manner, ¡°I can tell from your appearance that you¡¯ve never wooed a woman. Do you want me to teach you?¡± Jiang Yanshen finally looked up at him. ¡°You know how?¡± ¡°At least better than you.¡± Lu Dongcheng raised his chin and said confidently, ¡°As long as you return that little b*stard Lu Yuan to me.¡± Lu Yuan, who had just walked to the office door, heard his words and was instantly petrified. His face darkened as he said, ¡°In your dreams!¡± Lu Dongcheng turned around and looked at him. The smile on his face disappeared, and his eyes were even sharp. ¡°Say that again.¡± Lu Yuan: ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter even if I say it a hundred times. I won¡¯t go back.¡± ¡°You ingrate. You¡¯ve been with Jiang Yanshen for so long that you¡¯ve forgotten your surname!¡± Lu Dongcheng stood up, grabbed the paper box on the coffee table, and threw it at him. Lu Yuan dodged nimbly and the paper box fell to the ground. His eyes were red as he said stubbornly, ¡°Even if my surname is Lu, it has nothing to do with your Lu family.¡± ¡°Lu Yuan, don¡¯t think that I won¡¯t dare to touch you just because Jiang Yanshen is protecting you!¡± Lu Dongcheng narrowed his hawk-like eyes, and danger appeared. Lu Yuan was about to speak when Jiang Yanshen suddenly spoke, his voice cold. ¡°This is Tian Yue, not the Lu Corporation!¡± His dark eyes shot sharply at Lu Dongcheng, full of warning. Lu Dongcheng turned around and met his gaze. The cigarette butt on his fingertip was crushed heavily on the sofa, burning a hole. He sneered. ¡°I¡¯d like to see how long you can protect this little b*stard..¡± Chapter 88 - 88: How to Get My Ex-Wife Back? Chapter 88: How to Get My Ex-Wife Back? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The air was filled with the smell of burnt leather. Jiang Yanshen looked at him coldly and remained silent. Lu Dongcheng¡¯s lips curled into a devilish smile as he turned around and left. When he passed by Lu Yuan, he even deliberately bumped into his shoulder. Lu Yuan clenched his fists tightly by his sides. The veins on his hands were bulging, making him look like an angry waiter. ¡ªKnock, knock. Jiang Yanshen tapped his slender index finger on the table and said gently, and check Lu Qinshang¡¯s recent schedule.¡± Lu Yuan came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and left with a muffled ¡°oh¡±. Jiang Yanshen thought of how Lin Qingqian was with Luo Tianxue now and couldn¡¯t help but raise his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows. After a moment of silence, his long fingersnded on the keyboard¡­ A word appeared in the web search box. ¡ªHow to get my ex-wife back? Lin Qingqian knew nothing about what had just happened at the Tian Yue Corporation. She chose a jacket that was neither expensive nor cheap and asked Luo Tianxue to pay for it. Under Luo Tianxue¡¯s pleading, she agreed to help style her two more times. Luo Tianxue had already paid for the clothes she chose, but other than Lin Qingqian¡¯s, they were all returned. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be able to return the goods. However, she was a VIP and enjoyed the unconditional return service. The sales assistants did not look good, but they did not dare to say anything. They silently helped her process the refund. Luo Tianxue sat on the sofa and sipped her coffee elegantly. She said proudly, ¡°Let¡¯s see if they still dare to look down on us in the future!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled lightly. ¡°Why do you look angrier than me?¡± She was clearly the one being looked down on! Luo Tianxue turned around and looked at her confused. ¡°Aren¡¯t you angry at their bad attitude?¡± ¡°I¡¯m angry!¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡® Luo Tianxue was speechless for a few seconds. ¡°Sorry, I really couldn¡¯t tell.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°If I get angry with them, it will make me look like I¡¯m petty. At most, I won¡¯t cooperate with their shop in the future.¡± Luo Tianxue was stunned. After a long time, she realized what she meant by not cooperating and she couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up!! Every brand was divided into high-end, middle-end, and low-end products. Although most people could only afford low-end products, most brands relied on high-end products to be famous. If Lin Qingqian chose to not work with them, this brand would lose a live advertisement opportunity! Luo Tianxue realized that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t seem to be aggressive at all. She silently made Li Ruzhu and the brand suffer a loss in such an intelligent manner. She was simply the female lead with outstanding intelligence in television dramas. She had really agreed to do her styling just now, right? She wasn¡¯t trying to mess with her, was she? Lin Qingqian looked up and saw her frightened and worried look. She smiled like a Buddha. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m a Buddha. I don¡¯t hold grudges.¡± Luo Tianxue ¡® . The more you say that, the more I don¡¯t believe you!! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care if Luo Tianxue believed her or not. She carried the clothes back to the studio and just as she opened the door, an impact hit her back. Caught off guard, her head hit the ss door. Her vision darkened, and her tears almost fell from the pain. ¡°Ah!¡± Suisui looked apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Qianqian. I didn¡¯t know you would be hit by the door.¡± Lin Qingqian covered her aching head, her voice trembling. ¡°Suisui, are you trying to murder me?¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Suisui looked like she had done something wrong and lowered her head. Lin Qingqian touched her aching head. Fortunately, it wasn¡¯t the ce where she had injured herself previously. Otherwise, she would have to go to the hospital again. ¡°Open the door for me.¡± Suisui immediately opened the door for her and eagerly held her arm.. She imitated a young eunuch¡¯s tone and said, ¡°Your Highness, please¡­¡± Chapter 89 - 89: Of Course, If Not Why Would I Come Look for You Chapter 89: Of Course, If Not Why Would I Come Look for You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was amused by her, and the corners of her lips curled up. Suisui helped her sit down and checked her forehead. ¡°Are you alright? I¡¯m really sorry for knocking such a smart little head silly.¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s been knocked silly!¡± After a pause, she asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I came to see you as I have nothing to do these two days!¡± Suisui saw the water dispenser by the wall and walked over to get a disposable cup to drink. Lin Qingqian rubbed her head and felt that it didn¡¯t hurt so much anymore. She got up and went to put away the clothes Luo Tianxue had given her. Suddenly, there was a bang, as if something had fallen to the ground. Lin Qingqian turned back to look at Suisui. ¡°How old are you? Why are you so clumsy?¡± Suisui did not speak. She just stared straight at the door, her eyes burning with excitement. Lin Qingqian followed her gaze and looked at the door. She saw Lu Qinshang walking in wearing a white shirt, ripped jeans, and sunsses. She could not help but frown. Lu Qinshang took off his sunsses and nced at Lin Qingqian before looking at Suisui. The corners of his lips curled up. ¡®My fan?¡± Suisui nodded desperately! ¡°Want an autograph?¡± he asked. Suisui shook her head. She thought of something and quickly exined, ¡°I already have your signature. Can we take a photo together?¡± Lu Qinshang smiled brightly. ¡°Of course.¡± He stretched his hand out in front of Suisui. Suisui stared at her idol¡¯s palm, and her face instantlv turned red. She was already roaring wildly in her heart, Mom! My idol¡¯s hand! I¡¯m dead! ¡°Cell phone!¡± Lu Qinshang reminded when he saw that the youngdy was dumbfounded. Suisui reacted and quickly took out her phone to hand it to him. The redness on her face had already spread to her ears. Lu Qinshang originally wanted to take a selfie with her, but when he saw Lin Qingqian from the corner of his eye, a sly look shed past his eyes. ¡°Please help me.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian helped them take a few photos and returned the cell phone to Suisui. Although there was no physical contact, Suisui was already so happy that she melted. She hugged the cell phone and kept smiling foolishly, forgetting that the physical body was right in front of her. When Lu Qinshang saw her infatuated look, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He felt he was just too charming. Lin Qingqian coughed lightly to interrupt his narcissism. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lu Qinshang came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a studio? Of course I¡¯m here to look for you.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°Jiang Yanshen asked you toe?¡± Previously, Lu Qinshang did not like her either. Why would he send charcoal at this time? Lu Qinshang ¡°No.¡± But his eyes were saying ¡°Of course, if not why would Ie and find you. ¡°I¡¯m not taking your business.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected without hesitation. Lu Qinshang wanted to reply that it was up to her whether she wanted to ept it or not, but when he thought of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s call, he threw out the contract that he had prepared in advance¡ª ¡°It¡¯s a one-year contract. Other than styling me for productions, you¡¯ll be in charge of styling me for any activities I attend. The remuneration will be paid in one go.¡± Afraid that Lin Qingqian would reject him, he specially added, ¡°You can look at the reward first.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t look at it. ¡°Is this considered a membership booking?¡± She didn¡¯t look, but Suisui did. When she saw the zeros on the contract, her mouth opened wider and wider. Before Lin Qingqian could say anything, she pped the table and finalized it. ¡°We¡¯ll sign it!¡± Lin Qingqian Lu Qinshang¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she looked at his fangirl meaningfully. He was so handsome that even his fans were so cute. ¡°Suisui¡­¡± Before Lin Qingqian could finish speaking, Suisui pulled her to the side and said in a low voice, ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be silly.. You can go against anyone, but don¡¯t go against money!¡± Chapter 90 - 90: Your Majesty, Please Take Me in!!! Chapter 90: Your Majesty, Please Take Me in!!! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°But¡­¡¯ ¡°No buts!¡± Suisui said firmly. ¡°You have to know that styling Lu Qinshang will not only increase the poprity of the studio, but it will also allow you to have the money to hire people to help out at the studio.¡± This sentence made Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes shine with determination. Since she had created this studio, she naturally wanted to do well and strengthen it. She had to hire other staff. She could not do everything alone. What shecked the most now was fame and funding. And Lu Qinshang, the God of Wealth who had delivered himself to her door, could undoubtedly solve her two urgent problems at once. Lin Qingqian was not so inflexible as to blindly pursue the so-called backbone and arrogance. After weighing the pros and cons, she still signed the contract. Lu Qinshang picked up the contract and left a business card. ¡°I¡¯m attending a spokesperson event this weekend. You can contact my manager for the details.¡± Lin Qingqian kept the business card and even revealed a faint smile. ¡°Alright, Mr. Ltl.¡± Clientse first, so her attitude towards him was naturally better. Lu Qinshang felt a little creeped out by her smile. Without saying anything else, he put on his sunsses and left. Suisui sent him to the door before she cupped her face with both hands and said excitedly, ¡°Awvvw! My baby is so handsome.¡± Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t as happy as her. Her slightly raised lips slowly sank. Suisui chimed ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯ve decided¡­ I want my boss to fire me!¡± When Lin Qingqian nced over, Suisui turned around and winked at her, putting her palms together. ¡°Your Majesty, please take me in!!!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I can¡¯t afford your sry now.¡± Although Suisui was not famous in the industry, she was still an experienced makeup artist. Her sry was not cheap. Suisui jogged in front of her and bent down. ¡°I don¡¯t want a sry. Just let me be in charge of Lu Qinshang¡¯s makeup and hair.¡± She must make her idol the most handsome person in the universe. Lin Qingqian ¡® ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, I can pay you instead.¡± Suisui looked at her pleadingly. ¡°Your Majesty, please, please!!!¡± Lin Qingqian pinched the space between her eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s really hard to understand the thoughts of girls who chase after celebrities. What are you guys after?¡± At most, that person would say thank you verbally. It was unsure if they would be truly grateful, let alone repay you or love you. Suisui blinked. ¡°We don¡¯t want anything. We just like him. It¡¯s our greatest joy to be of help to him!¡± Fans were so pure and simple. They did not ask for anything in return! Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes darkened subtly. She had such a mentality before, but she was different from Suisui¡­ She had expected to receive a response for her efforts, so the oue was naturally not as much as she had hoped. From the looks of it, she was inferior to Suisui and the others. Her slender and fair fingers reached out to her, and her lips curled up. ¡°Wee to my studio.¡± Suisui wrapped her hands around hers and was extremely excited. ¡°Your Majesty, no, hello, Boss¡­ I¡¯ll definitely work hard in the future and improve every day. I¡¯ll be Boss¡¯s servant in life and Boss¡¯ ghost in death.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® This¡­ There was no need for that!!! Seeing that she didn¡¯t look very happy, Suisui couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Did you not want to style my idol because of Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°After I decided to divorce Jiang Yanshen, I didn¡¯t want to have any connections with anyone from that social circle.¡± Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yanshen were good friends. If she worked with Lu Qinshang, it was inevitable that she would have contact with Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Sigh!¡± Suisui sat down at the ce where her idol had sat. She rested her chin on her hands and looked at her. ¡°To be honest, if you want to develop in Lan City, you can¡¯t avoid working with people from the Jiang family circle. You two are divorced but you two are not mortal enemies. It hasn¡¯t reached the point where you can¡¯t interact with each other anymore.¡± ¡°Besides, the more you avoid it, the more it shows that you haven¡¯t really let it Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and looked at her. A silver bell rang in her ears. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard that the best attitude to show your ex is to look him directly in the eyes!¡± After that, her slender fingers pushed the contract in front of Lin Qingqian.. Chapter 91 - 91: I’m Not, I’m Not. Don’t Talk Nonsense! Chapter 91: I¡¯m Not, I¡¯m Not. Don¡¯t Talk Nonsense! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang¡¯s status in the entertainment industry was a level higher than Luo Tianxue¡¯s. Naturally, he had a lot of endorsements on him, from sunsses to shoes to watches. If it wasn¡¯t for the sake of maintaining his image, he would have epted the endorsement of sanitary napkins. When Lin Qingqian was styling him, she had to choose a single item from the brand he endorsed. After knowing that it was a high-end cell phone endorsement, Lin Qingqian gave Lu Qinshang a young and elite look. He was wearing a white shirt and a ck suit. He wasn¡¯t wearing a tie, and his corbones were exposed¡­ The first time Suisui saw it, she immediatelynded on her knees, especially when she saw Lin Qingqian pin a small maple leaf brooch on Lu Qinshang¡¯s chest¡­ ¡°Qianqian, stop hiding your identity as a fan! Admit it, you¡¯re also a member of our Maple Leafs!!¡± Suisui held her hand excitedly and said at the event location, ¡°As long as you like Lu Qinshang, we are biological sisters!¡± Lin Qingqian pushed her hand away expressionlessly. ¡°I¡¯m not, I¡¯m not. Don¡¯t spout nonsense!¡± She had only read Lu Qinshang¡¯s post out of professionalism and found out that the fans called themselves Maple Leafs. That was why she had selected this maple leaf brooch. Suisui pouted unhappily. Lin Qingqian ignored her. ¡°Do his makeup lightly. It¡¯s best if it looks natural.¡± Elite style was supposed to look simple and casual. If the makeup was heavy, it would look fake. Suisui made an ¡°OK¡± gesture to reassure her that she would protect her idol¡¯s beautiful face! She carried her makeup bag and walked to Lu Qinshang. She immediately became shy and started praising him. ¡ªBig Brother, your skin is so good. ¡ªBig Brother, your eyshes are so long. Big Brother, are you an eysh spirit? ¡ªBig Brother, your facial features are so good-looking that you don¡¯t even need to get your makeup done¡­ Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t stand listening to this ttery anymore. She turned around and walked out of the dressing room. The news conference was held at the hotel. The Maple Leafs, who had received the news in advance, tried their best to sneak in in advance to secretly take photos of their idol. The few girls sneakily bumped into Lin Qingqian, who was making a turn. Lin Qingqian¡¯s body involuntarily fell back. The girls reacted and wanted to grab her hand, but they couldn¡¯t. At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared and grabbed Lin Qingqian in time, pulling her into his arms. Before Lin Qingqian could raise her head, she heard a deep and familiar voice. ¡°Are you alright?¡± She looked up and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face was reflected in her clear eyes. The next moment, she stood firm and pushed him away. She couldn¡¯t help but frown and say in a clear voice, ¡°Thank you, Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and stared at her coldly. The few girls apologized to Lin Qingqian. They really didn¡¯t do it on purpose. They just wanted to see what their idol was wearing today and what he looked like. Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t angry. She just persuaded them that this was the backstage area and they shouldn¡¯t havee here. When the event started, they would naturally be able to see their idol. The girls apologized again and left in shame. As they left, they muttered, ¡°That man is so handsome.¡¯ ¡°He seems to be Tian Yue¡¯s President, Jiang Yanshen¡­¡¯ ¡°The one who was divorced by his wife in public a while ago?¡± ¡°He¡¯s so handsome, yet he got divorced. His wife must be blind.¡± ¡°Maybe he can¡¯t fulfill her needs in the bedroom¡­ Hehe¡­¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face darkened.. Chapter 92 - 92: It Felt Like She Had Been Tricked Chapter 92: It Felt Like She Had Been Tricked Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian nced at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark face from the corner of her eye. She lowered her head and the corners of her lips involuntarily curled up, but she quickly suppressed it. ¡°Why is Director Jiang here?¡± A clear voice sounded slowly, as if they were really not familiar with each other. Jiang Yanshen frowned and was silent for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Tianyue just bought this cell phonepany.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® She felt like he had been tricked. ¡°Director Jiang, you¡¯re a busy person¡­ I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± She then turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his long and narrow eyes. Hisrge palm quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the empty storeroom at the side. The lights were not turned on, and the room was extremely dim. By the time Lin Qingqian reacted, she had already been ¡°pinned¡± to the wall by him. She tried to struggle, but his fingers were as tough as steel bars. The man lowered his head and leaned close to her ear. His warm breathnded beside her ear, followed by a low and hoarse voice. ¡°Lin Qinzqian, do vou have to talk to me like this?¡± ¡°1-¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and realized that his face was too close to hers. Her actions of turning her head instantly froze, and when she was about to touch his cheek, she turned her head to the other side. ¡°We¡¯re already divorced. If I don¡¯t call you Director Jiang, what else can I call you?¡± Sensing that she was deliberately looking in the other direction, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes darkened. He said in a low voice, ¡°If you know you have to call me Director Jiang now that we are no longer married, then why didn¡¯t you call me that before we got married?¡± She did not know if it was because they were too close, but there was a hint of intimacy. Lin Qingqian ¡® Wasn¡¯t it just a form of address? Was there a need to pester her like this? Before they got married, she had always called him Jiang Yanshen. After they got married, she had also called him Yanshen when she couldn¡¯t help it in bed. It was just a few times. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, we¡¯re already divorced. I don¡¯t care what you think. I just want to work hard now.¡± She took a deep breath and nned to tell him everything. ¡°There¡¯s¡­ a conflict between your work and me?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned, and there was even a hint of jealousy in his tone. Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°Not long ago, you said that for the sake of a few thousand yuan a month, I threw my self-esteem on the ground and was trampled on. Have you forgotten so quickly?¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡°¡­¡± He indeed wouldn¡¯t remember such a thing. ¡°And you¡¯ve forgotten something very important!¡± Lin Qingqian slowly turned her head, her eyes filled with determination. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I don¡¯t love you anymore, so work is very important to me, and you¡­¡± He was nothing now. Jiang Yan took a deep breath and felt as if a knife had stabbed into his chest. For the first time, he felt a suffocating pain. ¡°So you don¡¯t love me now because I didn¡¯t agree to let you go out to work?¡± Lin Qingqian closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. There was a ball of fire in her heart. She endured it again and again, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t help but open her eyes. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, is there something wrong with your brain? I already said that I don¡¯t love you anymore. It¡¯s just that simple. Because I don¡¯t love you anymore, I have to work hard and find my own life. I didn¡¯t stop loving you just because you didn¡¯t let me work. Do you understand?¡± Her words were fast and anxious, and her eyes were filled with anger. It was something Jiang Yanshen had never seen before. Lin Qingqian took advantage of his absent-mindedness to break free from his restraints and ran to the door. But then, she thought of something and turned to look at him. His tall figure stood in the dim light. His handsome face was like the moonlight reflected off water, lonely and fragile. His dark eyes were filled with confusion and¡­ loneliness like that of an abandoned child.. Chapter 93 - 93: Fierce and Flirting Chapter 93: Fierce and Flirting Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s chest was constricted. Her nails dug into her flesh as she suppressed the inexplicable emotions in her heart. Her voice was clear. ¡°I¡¯m very sorry for publicly embarrassing the Jiang family, but it wasn¡¯t my intention toe this far.¡± If Jiang Yanshen hadn¡¯t objected to the divorce, if he hadn¡¯t insisted on holding a wedding, they wouldn¡¯t havee to this point. ¡°If you¡¯re worried that I¡¯ll be with another man in the future, don¡¯t worry.¡± She looked at him quietly and said word by word, ¡°I won¡¯t love anyone or marry anyone in this life again.¡± Love was no longer that important to her. She only wanted to devote the rest of her life to the career she loved. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark pupils dted slightly. Because they were in a dark space, it wasn¡¯t obvious. After saying what she wanted to say, Lin Qingqian turned around and left. The man was still standing on the spot. The loneliness in his eyes gradually faded and was reced with displeasure and confusion. The Inte¡¯s tips on flirting and showing weakness seemed to be useless to Lin Qingqian. However, Jiang Yanshen heaved a sign ot reliet when she said that she wouldn¡¯t love or marry anyone else in the future. At the very least, he still had a chance and did not have to worry that someone would take the opportunity to snatch her away. When Lin Qingqian returned to the lounge, Suisui had already done Lu Qinshang¡¯s makeup. Her light makeup looked very natural. Coupled with a simple outfit, he looked extremely handsome. With the approval of her idol, Suisui took out her phone and took a series of photos. There was no need for filters or editing. Lin Qingqian nced at the photos taken by Suisui. ¡°Send me two photos.¡± Suisui was delighted. ¡°How is it? Have you been charmed by my brother?¡± Lin Qingqian saved the picture and opened Weibo. As she uploaded the picture, she said, ¡°He¡¯s indeed very handsome. He¡¯s a living signboard.¡± Suisui ¡°¡­¡± My brother is so handsome that it¡¯s infuriating, but you only want to use him as a model. Qianqian, are you still a woman? Lu Qinshang was also very satisfied with today¡¯s style. He said in a good mood, ¡°What¡¯s the name of your studio? I¡¯ll advertise for you for free. You have to know that I don¡¯t usually ept soft advertisements.¡± Lin Qingqian changed her Weibo ount. ¡°Time Style, I¡¯ve tagged you.¡± Time Style: First day of business, first customer. Hello [Flower.gif]. Lu Qinshang opened Weibo and took a look. He quickly reposted it with the smug emoji with sunsses. ¡°Time? So ordinary?¡± He nced at Lin Qingqian with disdain. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled lightly. ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the saying? Time is like pig feed, time is like a butcher¡¯s knife!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s smile froze. Was she implying that he was a pig? No, this was already tantly obvious! Before he could explode, someone protested angrily, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to insult my idol! ! ¡± Suisui ced her hands on her hips, her eyes wide open. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Do you still remember who your boss is?¡± Suisui¡¯s aura immediately weakened. ¡°Your Majesty, I was wrong¡­ Don¡¯t be like that. My idol is the most handsome. He will always be so handsome.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°. There was really nothing she could do about these idol-chasing girls. Lu Qinshang was amused by them. He looked at Lin Qingqian with less contempt than before. From the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Yanshen standing at the door. He greeted him warmly, ¡°Ah Yan, do you think I look handsome today?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome features were expressionless. He only nodded perfunctorily and looked at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian pretended not to notice and let Suisui stay behind to touch up Lu Qinshang¡¯s makeup while she went back first. The organizers invited Lu Qinshang over. The event was about to begin. Lu Qinshang greeted Jiang Yanshen and happily went to the event location of the news conference. He couldn¡¯t wait to let his fans see how handsome he was. Suisui followed behind him. Only the two of them were left in the lounge. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and packed her things. She picked up her bag and was about to leave. ¡°Lin Qingqian¡­¡¯ When Lin Qingqian passed by him, a manly low voice suddenly sounded.. Chapter 94 - 94: You’re a Dumb*ss If You Don I t Want Easy Chapter 94: You¡¯re a Dumb*ss If You Don I t Want Easy Money Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Her slender figure paused and she looked at him with her clear eyes. She was extremely calm. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her, his handsome face unnatural. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°That¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. Jiang Yanshen frowned, as if he needed a lot of courage to say, ¡°I¡¯m attending a banquet in a few days. Help style me.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°Are you going to debut as a celebrity?¡± This was a soul-stirring question. What was this dog of a man trying to do? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression turned inexplicably cold. ¡°In the past, you were the one who matched my clothes for every event. Now, Song Qin and the rest can¡¯t handle it.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® She had almost forgotten about that. Although Jiang Yanshen wasn¡¯t a celebrity, he was still considered an elite public figure. He was a famous person in Lan City, so he naturally had to dress appropriately in public. In the past, she was the person who had helped to style him. She was practically his personal stylist, the kind who wasn¡¯t even given a sry. Thinking about how much wealth she had missed because of this man in the past, she instantly felt heartbroken. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and revealed a faint smile. ¡°If you want me to help you with your styling, sure. Go through the process and make an appointment. I need to make time arrangements for it. Oh right, my services are not cheap.¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without changing his expression, ¡°I¡¯d like to make an appointment now. You can set the price and I won¡¯t bargain.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled, a glint shed across her eyes. Suisui was right. You¡¯re a dumb*ss if you don¡¯t want easy money. You can¡¯t me yourself for earning the money of a sucker. ¡°Sure, contact me on WeChat.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly with a puzzled expression. Lin Qingqian reacted. He didn¡¯t use WeChat or Weibo. ¡°Get Song Qin to add me on WeChat. I¡¯ll justmunicate with her.¡± With that, she turned around and left. When she walked out of the door, Song Qin smiled and said, ¡°Miss Qingqian, I¡¯ll inform you on WeChat about the exact time.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Jiang Yanshen walked to the door and watched her walk into the elevator. His gaze thennded on Song Qin. ¡°What¡¯s WeChat?¡± Song Qin knew that her boss didn¡¯t use social media, so she replied kindly, ¡°It¡¯s a social media app that reces text messages. It¡¯s an important tool formunication now.¡± Jiang Yanshen took out his phone and handed it to her. ¡°Help me download.¡± Song Qin looked shocked and quickly took the cell phone to install WeChat for her boss. She asked again, ¡°Director Jiang, do you need to download Weibo ¡°What¡¯s Weibo?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked like an old man who had discovered a cell phone for the first time. ¡°It¡¯s also a social media app. It¡¯s a tform where you can share about your life,¡± Song Qin exined concisely. Afraid that he wouldn¡¯t understand, she added, ¡°Ourpany has a Weibo official Weibo ount, and so does Miss Qingqian¡¯s studio.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips let out a word. ¡°Download.¡± Song Qin lowered her head and downloaded Weibo. She could not help butugh secretly. As expected, Miss Qingqian was still the most useful!! After Song Qin downloaded it for him, she used his phone number to register an ount. Then, she began to teach him how to add each other as friends, how to follow each other, how to post on WeChat, how to post on Weibo¡­ Jiang Yanshen usually did nothing but work. He was proficient in using office work software, but he didn¡¯t understand the apps on his phone at all. For the first time, Song Qin experienced the feeling of an old mother needing to take a quick-acting heart-saving pill to tutor her child!! However, this was not her child, but her boss. She could not beat or scold him. She could not even show her impatience. For this reason, she was especially careful and only added Lu Yuan and Lin Qingqian on WeChat. If you have any questions, please go and bother Lu Yuan!!! Lin Qingqian sat in the car on the way back and looked at the studio¡¯s Weibo ount. It had suddenly gained tens of thousands of fans. Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans were all praising her styling today. There were even fans who begged her to continue their brother¡¯s current style in thements section. Lin Qingqian replied: Sure! Immediately, some of the fans realized that their brother was going to work with Shi Guang Studio for a long period of time. There were some who were happy and some who were worried. After all, they had never even heard of this Shi Guang Studio before. There wasn¡¯t even a yellow VIP tick on her official Weibo, so it was inevitable that the fans would be worried. Lin Qingqian replied: For the whole of this year, you¡¯re wee to supervise me. After replying, she logged out of Weibo and opened WeChat to find two new friend requests.. Chapter 95 - 95: Other People Have Mines At Home, But I Have Pigs Chapter 95: Other People Have Mines At Home, But I Have Pigs Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The first notification was from Song Qin. Lin Qingqian directly approved the friend request. The second notification was from Jiang Yanshen. Her slender fingers paused on the phone screen. It was obvious that he had just applied for this ount. There was not even a photo. After the divorce, she had never thought of interacting with Jiang Yanshen again and had thought of avoiding him. However, Suisui was right. The more she avoided him, the more guilty it would make her look. If she could face Jiang Yanshen calmly and treat him as an ordinary guest and ex-husband, Jiang Yanshen might be able to see things clearly after some time. With this thought in mind, she clicked on the approve button with her fingertip and kept her phone. She felt dizzy ying with her phone in the car. Lu Qinshang was receiving love from his fans on the first floor of the mall, while Jiang Yanshen sat in the lounge and stared at his cell phone. He had already opened WeChat several times, and was just staring into space nkly. Just as his eyes darkened, a message suddenly popped up on WeChat. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: I¡¯ve approved your friend request. Now, we can start chatting. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips, which had been pursed into a straight line, rxed. His fingers tapped on the keyboard and typed out word by word¡ª Jiang Yanshen: Okay, what do you want to talk about? About two minutes after the message was sent, there was a reply. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: ??? Jiang Yanshen: Didn¡¯t you say to start chatting? Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Sweating emoji. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: That was automatically sent by the system. Jiang Yanshen ¡® Jiang Yanshen: Got it. After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time. Jiang Yanshen frowned again. As he waited, he clicked on the WeChat Moments Song Qin mentioned. As there were only Lu Yuan and Lin Qingqian on his WeChat, he saw Lu Yuan¡¯s post that was uploaded this morning. The Handsome Lu Yuan: ¡°The boss is out today. I can focus on supporting my pretty little sister now.¡± There was a photo of a young girl below. She looked to be in her teens. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes. Chasing after celebrities during work hours? He immediately made a call to inform Lu Yuan to organize the financial statements for the first half of the year. He wanted to see them in an hour. Lu Yuan, who did not even have time to speak after receiving the call, vomited blood and died in his seat. Jiang Yanshen continued to scroll down and saw Lin Qingqian¡¯s. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: If I don¡¯t work hard, I can only go home and inherit Auntie¡¯s business¡ªraising pigs! The apanying photo was a selfie of her, smiling at the camera with her head tilted. Below was her reply to someone unknown: Other people have mines at home, but I have pigs! Jiang Yanshen stared at the photo in a daze for a long time. He had rarely seen her smile like this. In the past, she was timid and humble, butter, she was reserved and adoring¡­ The only time he saw her smile like this seemed to be when they went to register their marriage. She specially wore a white shirt and smiled sweetly at him as they stood in front of the camera. As for how he felt that day, he could not remember clearly. After all, at that time, he was only fulfilling his Grandma¡¯s wish to marry a wife. It didn¡¯t seem to matter who he married, so he wasn¡¯t too excited, but he wasn¡¯t too disgusted or unhappy either. He couldn¡¯t even remember what he had gone to do after registering their marriage. Jiang Yanshen saved the photo in his cell phone album and scrolled down to see that Lin Qingqian¡¯s posts were all about renovation work. There was nothing to see, so he continued to return to the page. Lin Qingqian still didn¡¯t reply. He ced the cell phone on the table and continued to stare at it¡­ When Lin Qingqian saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s reply, she couldn¡¯t help butugh when she thought of how he didn¡¯t even know that the system had sent him a message for the first time on WeChat.. Chapter 96 - 96: Qjanqian, You Have Fallen Off Your Horse! Chapter 96: Qjanqian, You Have Fallen Off Your Horse! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions It was only when the driver reminded her that she realized she had arrived. She carried her bag and got out of the car. When she returned to the shop, she received a WeChat message from Suisui before she could even drink a mouthful of water. Suisui Is The Cutest: Qianqian, you fell off the horse!! Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: ??? Suisui Is The Cutest: Hurry up and go on Weibo! Lin Qingqian opened Weibo with a belly full of question marks. She saw that her Weibo had a hundred thousand followers visible to the naked eye. When she opened her Weiboments section, she saw the fans screaming¡ª ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the stylist I like would style the man I love one day. I can die without regrets!¡± ¡°What kind of god is she? She¡¯s simply amazing.¡± ¡°The treasure that I¡¯ve been a fan of for a few years can¡¯t be hidden anymore. I¡¯m crying¡­¡± Below, there were still Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans apologizing. They shouldn¡¯t have questioned Shi Guang Studio. Some even asked her to take good care of their brother. Of course, there were also a few haters arguing. It was probably because the fans said that she had dressed Lu Qinshang up too handsomely. It was like he had been reborn. Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans defended him and refuted, saying that their brother was already handsome and had a good foundation. He could blind everyone with just his handsomeness alone. Lin Qingqian ignored their argument and switched to the studio¡¯s Weibo. Just now, there were only tens of thousands of fans. Now, it had soared to 300,000 and was still rising. She clicked on her notifications and saw that Luo Tianxue had reposted the photo of her styling Lu Qinshang¡ª Luo Tianxue: I¡¯m clearly your first guest. Why didn¡¯t you use my photo for publicity?! [Cheongsam Photo] The cheongsam style that she had made for Luo Tianxue had just gone down the trending searches. With this repost, the entire inte knew that the person behind Shi Guang Studio was the same person who styled her. Shi Guang Studio trended Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang. Passers-by who didn¡¯t know better thought that Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang had announced their rtionship. They clicked on it and when they saw that it was about another matter, they cursed and left. There were also passers-by who felt that Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue¡¯s appearances were very good, so they followed them. Her n to publicly market her studio at the right time was considered to have died in Luo Tianxue¡¯s hands. Fortunately, the number of fans increased quickly. Sina¡¯s customer service took the initiative to call and invite her to embellish her ount as a VIP. Lin Qingqian organized the information and quickly sent it over. She submitted an application to add her as a VIP, and the other party quickly reviewed it. Shi Guang Studio: Thank you for your trust and support. I look forward to our next coboration. @Luo Tianxue @Lu Luo Tianxue reposted it again: There¡¯s no need to look forward to it. There¡¯s a program recording next week! Lu Qinshang reposted: ¡°There¡¯s no need to look forward to it. I¡¯ve already charged my membership to engage a full year of your service.¡± Luo Tianxue reposted again and again: I want to engage a full year of your service too!! The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. Then, she reposted it with Shi Guang Studio¡¯s ount and replied with a happy expression. The fans of the two idols were extremely satisfied with this new stylist and leftments to support her. On the other hand, passersby noticed the reposts of the two celebrities and smelled the scent ofpetition for favor. Hence, they left messages saying that they would like to see these two idols be a couple instead. The fans of the two idols immediately exploded and carried their respective main character away. One of them was a pretty sister who didn¡¯t want to date, while the other was an older brother who only wanted Fengye as his wife! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t watch their argument and silently logged out of Weibo¡­ With Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue, the two popr celebrities, to support her business, she didn¡¯t have to worry about not having enough artistes to work with her in the future. However¡ª There were only her and Suisui in the studio for the time being. Both of them had been booked for the year. If they took on other artistes, they would probably be too busy. It seemed like the recruitment n had to be put on the agenda. Lu Qinshang got off the stage and took the cell phone from his assistant. As he scrolled through Weibo, he walked to the lounge. He pushed open the door and saw Jiang Yanshen sitting on the sofa, staring at his cell phone without moving. ¡°Yan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up, his face as cold as ice, and his voice squeezed out from his lips¡ª Chapter 97 - 97: The Four Young Masters of Lan City Chapter 97: The Four Young Masters of Lan City Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Why didn¡¯t she reply to my WeChat?¡± Lu Qinshang could hear a hint of resentment in his voice and could not help but shiver. He must have misheard. ncing at his phone, Jiang Yanshen locked it the moment he saw the name: Lin Xiaoqian. When Lu Qinshang thought of what he had just heard, his teeth instantly ached. He felt that his entire worldview had been overturned. Fortunately, Jiang Yanshen had already admitted that he loved Lin Qingqian in 1942, so the shockwave today was much less. Lu Qinshang said earnestly, ¡°Maybe she¡¯s busy. Ah Yan,e and scan this. I¡¯ll pull you into the group.¡± His WeChat QR code was disyed on the phone screen. Jiang Yanshen said arrogantly, ¡°No.¡± The main thing was that he did not know how to scan a QR code. ¡°Are you still our brother? If you are, cut the crap and hurry up¡­ Jiang Yanshen nced at him and threw the phone to him impatiently. ¡°Do it yourself.¡± Lu Qinshang picked up his phone and opened his WeChat. He scanned it and added him as a friend. Next, he added him to the group and returned the phone to him. Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone and saw the group name at the top of the WeChat¡ªFour Young Masters of Lan City. Was it toote to leave the group now? It was too childish!! He clicked on the group info and saw three other usernames besides his¡ªDetective Gu, The Most Handsome Man In Lan City, The Second Young Master Of The Jiang Family. Second Young Master of the Jiang family: F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Is this really my brother? Has my brother really started to use WeChat? Second Young Master of the Jiang family: Brother, why don¡¯t you even have a profile picture? Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: Brother, add me as a friend! Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: Brother, I¡¯ve added you. Hurry up and approve my request¡­ Jiang Yanshen: You¡¯re so noisy. The Second Young Master of the Jiang family, who was despised, sent some crying emoticons. Jiang Yanshen clicked on his new friend request and epted Jiang Yanshen and Gu Xici¡¯s friend requests. Then, he clicked on the settings that allowed him to upload photos. Without hesitation, he uploaded the selfie of Lin Qingqian that he had just saved. In the group chat. Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: [Little head full of big question marks]. Mouse emoji. Detective Gu: Jiang Yanshen: It¡¯s nice. Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: [Two legs kicking, aloof from worldly affairs]. Cat emoji. Detective Gu: ¡­¡­.. Lu Qinshang, who was standing in front of Jiang Yanshen, couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. Old men who fall in love are so scary!! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s closet was filled with top-notch men¡¯s clothes. Lin Qingqian did not need to help him borrow any clothes. She just had to go to the Jiang family in advance to help pick out matching pieces. She didn¡¯t bring Suisui along because Jiang Yanshen never put on makeup. Song Qin informed her of the exact time and thoughtfully arranged for the chauffeur to pick her up. It was dusk when Lin Qingqian arrived at the Jiang residence. The light of the setting sun became gentle, enveloping the old Jiang residence in a gentle scene. The servant led her upstairs respectfully. Lin Qingqian nced at the few servants in the room. They looked very unfamiliar. They probably didn¡¯t know her identity. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn¡¯t have brought her upstairs. The servant brought her to the bedroom door and went down. Lin Qingqian was about to knock on the door when she heard an ear-piercing voice behind her. ¡°Lin Qingqian, what are you doing here?¡± She turned around and saw Li Ruzhu walking over with a furious expression. ¡°You¡¯re not wee here. Please get out!¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her quietly. ¡°Since when did you have the final say in the Jiang family?¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face turned green. She was mocking her for not being a member of the Jiang family, but an outsider! ¡°I¡¯m Auntie¡¯s goddaughter. Of course I can chase you away since I live here!¡± She gritted her teeth. ¡°Lin Qingqian, haven¡¯t you embarrassed Brother Yanshen enough? You still want to pester him now! Chapter 98 - 98: You Can ‘t Even Get The Pair Of Broken Shoes That I Don ‘t Want Chapter 98: You Can ¡®t Even Get The Pair Of Broken Shoes That I Don ¡®t Want Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes were not angry when she looked at her. There was even a smile at the corner of her mouth. Li Ruzhu saw that she wasughing and became even angrier. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Of course I¡¯mughing at you for being stupid.¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face instantly turned green. ¡°Lin Qingqian, what do you mean?¡± ¡°You can take the meaning literally.¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly, ¡°You and I moved into the Jiang family around the same time and fell in love with Jiang Yanshen together.¡± As she spoke, she took a step closer to Li Ruzhu. The light in her eyes gradually turned cold¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve been married to Jiang Yanshen for three years. Now, everyone in Lan City Imows that I dumped him. And you can¡¯t even get the pair of broken shoes that I don¡¯t want. If you¡¯re not stupid, who is?¡± ¡°You!!¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to say that about Brother Yanshen!¡± Lin Qingqian sneered. ¡°Brother Yanshen¡­ you address him so intimately. Only you treat the trash I don¡¯t want as a treasure!¡± Her faint tone was extremely provocative. ¡°Lin Qingqian!¡± Li Ruzhu gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to fight to the death with her. Suddenly, her expression changed and she was about to cry. ¡°Brother Yanshen¡­ Lin Qingqian suddenly felt a thorn in her back. She turned around and saw the door behind her open. The man stood there expressionlessly, his eyes as dark as the abyss. ¡°Brother Yanshen, don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. You¡¯re the best.¡± Li Ruzhu looked at him with her misty eyes, filled with worry and admiration. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and squeezed out two words from between his teeth. ¡°Get lost.¡± A trace of smugness shed past Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes as she looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Did you hear that? Brother Yanshen asked you to leave.¡± Lin Qingqian also knew that what she said just now was humiliating to Jiang Yanshen. It was only natural for him to be angry. She didn¡¯t want to exin anything. When she turned around to leave¡­ The man spoke again. ¡°I¡¯m telling you to get lost.¡± His sharp gaze shot towards Li Ruzhu, cold and disgusted. The blood on Li Ruzhu¡¯s face visibly drained. She couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Brother Yanshen¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold brows knitted together, and the impatience on his face was obvious. He reached out and grabbed Lin Qingqian¡¯s wrist before entering the room. The door was mmed shut with a loud bang, causing the entire wall to shake. Lin Qingqian, who was pulled into the room, was at a loss. She was a little confused. Wasn¡¯t he angry with her?? She had already said that to him, but he wasn¡¯t angry?? Jiang Yanshen nced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°What are you waiting Lin Qingqian snapped out of her trance and looked at the closet. It was filled with his suits, ironed neatly. She walked over and picked out a blue suit, a ck tie with some dark patterns, and ck leather shoes. In addition, she matched the cuffs with a business-like watch. Jiang Yanshen nced at it and frowned. ¡°No brooch?¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at him. ¡®t???¡± Jiang Yanshen coughed lightly and said in a low voice, ¡°You included that for Lu Qinshang.¡± ¡°That¡¯s his fan club logo, and it was for a news conference. You, on the other hand, are attending a business dinner,¡± Lin Qingqian exined. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He looked at her with his dark eyes, as if he was stubbornly saying: If you added it for Lu Qinshang, why didn¡¯t you add it for me? Lin Qingqian: After a moment of stalemate, Lin Qingqian finally gave in. She walked to the jewelry box and pulled open a drawer. What greeted her eyes were all essories. These were all prepared for her by Jiang Yanshen previously. When she left the Jiang family after the divorce, she didn¡¯t take any of them with her. As Lin Qingqian chose, she asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you get rid of these things?¡± Chapter 99 - 99: You Gave Me This Belt Chapter 99: You Gave Me This Belt Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions After all, they were already divorced. He couldn¡¯t possibly keep it for the next Madam Jiang, right? Jiang Yanshen answered as he unbuttoned his shirt, ¡°Why should I?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve already¡­¡± She turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s shirt unbuttoned, revealing arge area of his abs. She was so frightened that she immediately turned around. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡°Changing my clothes.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly annoyed. ¡°Can¡¯t you change in the bathroom?¡± Jiang Yanshen paused and looked up at her back. The mirror beside him reflected her slightly red cheeks. He felt a little strange. ¡°Why must I go to the bathroom? It¡¯s not like you haven¡¯t seen it before.¡± They had been husband and wife before and had seen each other naked. What was there to avoid? Lin Qingqian bit her lip. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, we¡¯re already divorced. Can you change in front of your ex-wife?¡± Jiang Yanshen put on the shirt, suit, and pants she had chosen. His belt was unbuckled and hung on his waist. ¡°People can still remarry after divorcing. Many people still get together after their divorce¡­¡± Lin Qingqian realized what he wanted to say and hurriedly interrupted, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, shut up. Are you done changing?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t respond. Lin Qingqian waited for a moment and did not see any reaction from him. She slowly turned her head and saw that his clothes were unbuttoned, and his dark eyes were smiling at her. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice was gentle. ¡°Nowadays, you¡¯d call me by my full name when you¡¯re angry.¡± And he didn¡¯t hate this feeling. Lin Qingqian was speechless for a few seconds and nced at his belt. ¡°Buckle up your belt. ¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t move. ¡°You always helped me in the past.¡± His righteous tone was like that of a child, unreasonable. Lin Qingqian understood his temper. Since he said so, she definitely had to help him. Otherwise, he would drag it out with her until the sky turned dark. She didn¡¯t want to stand with him as punishment, so she walked forward and lowered her head to help him buckle his belt. She was adjusting his belt with her fingertips when she heard the man¡¯s deep voice. ¡°You gave me this belt.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not blind.¡± Lin Qingqian answered without thinking. At that time, it was a trend to give a man a belt as a symbol of tying him down. Back then, she had excitedly used the advertising fee she earned on Weibo to go to the shop to pick this belt which cost 18,000 yuan!! When she came back, Jiang Yunshen sneered and said that she must have picked it up from the trash. He actually dared to let his brother use it. After that, she didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen use it once. Thinking about it, she was really stupid back then. How was this dog of a man worth 18,000 yuan? He wasn¡¯t even worthy of 1,800 yuan. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t know what Lin Qingqian was thinking. He said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t do it. I just¡­¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and saw the familiar lust in his eyes. She couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°If you continue like this, I¡¯ll sue you for sexual harassment.¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡® Lin Qingqian helped him buckle his belt and helped him put on his tuxedo. After that, she pinned a small trinket on his chest. Jiang Yanshen looked down and saw the letter ¡°Y¡± pinned to his chest. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°Brooch.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. Of course he knew that this was a brooch, but why was it ¡°Y¡±? Just as he was about to ask, a thought shed across his mind. He looked at her with a faint smile in his ck eyes. Lin Qingqian pretended not to see it and turned around to get ab and styling spray to help him style his hair. She felt that this Dog of a man was doing this on purpose! !! ¡°Qianqian¡­¡¯ Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. ¡°Shut up, don¡¯t say anything. I don¡¯t want to hear anything!¡± Just let me quietly do my styling, get paid , and leave, okay!!! Chapter 100 - 100: Whoever Was Paying Was Her Daddy Chapter 100: Whoever Was Paying Was Her Daddy Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t speak. Under his long eyshes, his ck eyes were like the gxy in the night sky, flickering with light. For some reason, he liked to see her angry. It was much more pleasing to the eye than her previous docile and respectful appearance. Lin Qingqian¡¯s height was not considered short among the average height of girls, but she was still a head shorter when standing in front of him. When she was grabbing his hair, she could barely reach it and could only stand on her tiptoes. Sensing this, Jiang Yanshen unobtrusively spread his legs, bent his knees, and lowered his head to her brows. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. Her gazended on his legs, and the anger in her heart instantly dissipated. She quickly styled his hair. ¡°Done.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his slightly sore neck and turned to look at the mirror embedded in the cab. The man in the mirror was wearing a blue suit with the shing letter ¡°Y¡± on his chest. His hair was voluminous and gelled, and the suit pants on his lower body entuated his long and straight legs. ¡°Alright, remember to get the finance department to settle the bnce of the payment within three working days.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and ced theb and styling spray back onto the table. Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going with me?¡± Lin Qingqian turned back to look at him. ¡°You don¡¯t need to touch up your makeup, why should I go with you?¡± ¡°You¡¯re my stylist. If there¡¯s anything wrong with my style, shouldn¡¯t you make up for it in time?¡± Jiang Yanshen said seriously. ¡°Your service is very expensive. Shouldn¡¯t your guests feel that it¡¯s worth it?¡± Lin Qingqian: What he said made sense, so she couldn¡¯t refute it. After a moment of silence, she put her things away, picked up her bag, and said helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood still and sized up her. ¡°Are you going there dressed like this?¡± Lin Qingqian looked down at her outfit. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± She was wearing a jumpsuit that had be very popr recently. It was khaki in color and many celebrities had worn it before. ¡°Change into a gown,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a firm tone. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°You¡¯re my stylist, so you naturally have to follow me into the banquet hall.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned around and walked to the closet. He opened the other half of the closet and disyed rows of dresses hanging neatly inside. He chose a light blue gown and walked to her. ¡°Don¡¯t embarrass me.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take it. ¡°I can wait for you in the car or outside.¡± Jiang Yanshen was a little impatient and raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°I¡¯m your client now.¡± Alright, whoever was paying her was her Daddy! Lin Qingqian took the dress from him and went to the bathroom to change. When she nced at the closet from the corner of her eye, a trace of doubt involuntarily shed past her eyes. Fifteen minutester, Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen downstairs. Madam Jiang saw him going downstairs and saw Lin Qingqian. Her eyes were filled with disgust as she used, ¡°Yanshen, what¡¯s wrong with you? She left you and made our Jiang family lose all our face, and you still let her enter our Jiang family?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Li Ruzhu¡¯s red eyes and said indifferently, ¡°She¡¯s my stylist now.¡± ¡°What stylist?¡± Madam Jiang shouted angrily. ¡°I think you¡¯re simply bewitched by her. This little b*tch¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark gaze suddenly shot towards her, sharper than a de. Madam Jiang felt a chill down her spine and stopped talking. Lin Qingqian, who was standing behind Jiang Yanshen, stood in front at this moment. She looked at Madam Jiang indifferently.. ¡°Little b*tch what?¡± Chapter 101 - 101: Maybe I Used to Raise Silkworms in My Brain Chapter 101: Maybe I Used to Raise Silkworms in My Brain Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Madam Jiang wanted to call her a little b*tch sl*t, but under Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze, she quickly shut up. When Li Ruzhu saw this, her tears flowed even more fiercely. She choked and said, ¡°Auntie, forget it. You don¡¯t need to quarrel with Brother Yanshen over me. It won¡¯t be good if it hurts your rtionship with him.¡± Madam Jiang took this opportunity tofort Ruzhu. ¡°Ruzhu, you¡¯ve suffered¡­ ¡°Ha!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but sneer. ¡°There¡¯s no outsider acting here. When did Madam Jiang and Jiang Yanshen have a deep mother-son rtionship?¡± After saying that, she looked at Jiang Yanshen. From the first day she came to the Jiang family, she knew that Jiang Yanshen and Madam Jiang had no feelings for each other. Rather than calling them mother and son, it was more appropriate to call them enemies. One was cold and unappreciative, while the other was full of hatred. Everyone in Lan City knew that the mother-son rtionship was superficial. ¡°Stop trying to sow discord!¡± Li Ruzhu red at her with red eyes. ¡°Which word did I say wrongly?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yanshen and said slowly, ¡°Jiang, Yan, Shen?¡± ¡°You did not say anything wrong,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. He even looked at her with a faint doting gaze. Li Ruzhu was furious when she saw this scene, but before she could speak, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, or we¡¯ll bete.¡± Lin Qingqian initially didn¡¯t want to hold his arm, but when she saw Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu¡¯s ashen faces, she held Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm with a smile and walked towards the door. The moment they walked out of the Jiang family vi, Lin Qingqian instantly let go of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly but didn¡¯t say anything. In the car, Lin Qingqian sat by the window, as far away from him as possible, wishing she could sit on the roof of the car. The car slowly drove out of the vi area and entered the main road. Jiang Yanshen looked at the distance between the two of them, which was about an arm¡¯s length. For some reason, he felt that she was very far away. He didn¡¯t like the feeling. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you retaliate in the past?¡± The man pursed his thin lips, his low and hoarse voice filled with confusion. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze, which was looking at the scenery outside the window, slowly shifted to him. She opened her mouth and said, ¡°Maybe I was raising silkvvorms in my brain in the past.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were filled with confusion. He couldn¡¯t understand her words. ¡°Idiot.¡± Lin Qingqian exined, ¡°In the past, I felt that she was your biological mother. No matter what happened, I thought that I should bear with it and not make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re Mrs Jiang. You don¡¯t have to endure anything,¡± the man said in a low voice. Lin Qingqian understood the meaning in his words and said with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s why I said that I had silkworms in my head.¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡® He lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he looked at her with burning eyes. ¡°I won¡¯t let that happen again.¡± Lin Qingqian shifted her gaze to the scenery outside and pretended not to hear him. The car instantly fell silent, leaving only the deep and shallow breathing of the two of them. The business banquet was held in a hotel under the Tian Yue Corporation. When they arrived, more than half of the wealthy businessmen and celebrities in Lan City were present. When they saw an unfamiliar woman beside Jiang Yanshen, they all looked over curiously. Jiang Yanshen gave a simple introduction. ¡°Lin Qingqian.¡± There was no position or title. It was just a name. The others immediately tacitly agreed that she was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s woman and looked at her with disdain. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t like this kind of atmosphere and used the excuse of going to the washroom. The moment she left, Jiang Yunshen immediately came over. ¡°Brother, why did you take that bumpkin.. Jiang Yanshen shot him a cold re, and Jiang Yunshen immediately changed his words.. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re so handsome today!¡± Chapter 102 - 102: Director Jiang? Which Director Jiang? Chapter 102: Director Jiang? Which Director Jiang? Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Your sister-inw styled it.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± I¡¯m sorry to disturb you!! Lu Qinshang walked over and sized him up. He teased, ¡°Yo! You¡¯re finally not dressed in ck anymore. If you had dressed like this earlier, all the youngdies in Lan City would have been charmed by you.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡®Your sister-inw has good taste.¡± Lu Qinshang: Jiang Yunshen red at him fiercely. Can¡¯t you change the topic? You caused yourself to be killed twice!!! Lu Qinshang had an innocent look on his face. How the hell would he know that it was Lin Qingqian who styled him, but¡ª ¡°Aren¡¯t the two of you divorced? It¡¯s not appropriate to call her sister-inw, right?¡± He finally understood. In the past, it was always Lin Qingqian who chased after Jiang Yanshen. Now, it was Jiang Yanshen who chased after Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. He thought about how unhappy she would be if she heard Jiang Yunshen and the rest call her that. He whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t call her that in front of her.¡± Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen looked at each other and rolled their eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanshen finally spoke. Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes again and couldn¡¯t help butin. ¡°It¡¯s all because of the old man. He said that there are many beauties at such a business cocktail party. I don¡¯t like those rich youngdies in Lan City, so I shall choose one from the business elites.¡± In any case, he wouldn¡¯t choose a female celebrity!! In Chairman Lu¡¯s eyes, not many female celebrities in the entertainment industry were clean. Hearing him say this, Jiang Yanshen thought of Lin Qingqian. Although she wasn¡¯t a female celebrity, she was still considered a member of the entertainment industry. ¡°Take good care of Qianqian. Don¡¯t let anyone bully her.¡± His tone was indisputable. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Since she¡¯s so good at styling, I won¡¯t let the dirty hands taint her.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s tone was a little nonchnt, but he was serious. In the past, he looked down on Lin Qingqian. He felt that she was just a bumpkin from the countryside who overestimated herself and took a fancy to Ah Yan. She even used Old Madam Jiang to marry Ah Yan. It was simply like a sparrow trying to be a phoenix. However, the recent events made him feel that he might have misjudged Lin Qingqian in the past. Now that Lin Qingqian had taken over his styling for a year and he didn¡¯t have to fork out the money, he would naturally take care of Lin Qingqian more. Jiang Yunshen stood at the side and said bitterly, ¡°Brother, didn¡¯t you hate her in the past? Why do I feel like she¡¯s your true love now?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and asked, ¡°When did I say that I hate her?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you hate her?¡± Jiang Yunshen was shocked. ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. ¡°But if you didn¡¯t hate her, why were you ignoring her? You even stopped going back to the Jiang family after getting married.¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously. ¡°If I went back to the Jiang family, would you have helped me expand the European market?¡± Lu Qinshang: Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± So they had been wrong all these years?? Not only were they puzzled, but Jiang Yanshen also frowned, confusion shing in his eyes. When did I say that I hate Lin Qingqian? Could it be that she had been thinking the same thing for the past few years? Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to go in and face those people, so she didn¡¯t go in aftering out of the washroom. There was a special resting ce in the hotel. She walked over and sat down. She took out her phone and scrolled through Weibo. After a while, an attendant walked over and handed her a room card. ¡°Director Jiang asked me to pass this to you.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at the attendant and then at the room card in her hand.. ¡°Director Jiang? Which Director Jiang?¡± Chapter 104 - 104: Don’t Touch Her Chapter 104: Don¡¯t Touch Her Lin Qingqian was missing. Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t find her in the washroom, and she didn¡¯t answer his call. Jiang Yunshen and Lu Qinshang also sensed that something was wrong and did not dare to joke around anymore. One went to look for the security officers to check the surveince cameras, and the other went to look for the Manager to gather the attendants to see if they had seen Lin Qingqian. Soon, someone said that they saw Lin Qingqian going upstairs not long ago. Jiang Yanshen frowned. If there wasn¡¯t anything special, Lin Qingqian wouldn¡¯t have gone upstairs. Lu Qinshang¡¯s security officers had already checked the surveince cameras and saw Lin Qingqian enter a room upstairs. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even have time to wait for the elevator. He went directly for the emergency stairs. His footsteps were quick at first, but in the end, he couldn¡¯t help but run. Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen followed behind him. However, just as they ran upstairs, they saw two people in uniforms standing at the door. One of the men kicked the door open and turned on the lights. He shouted fiercely, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± The shaking bed instantly stopped. The naked man¡¯s interest was suddenly interrupted. He roared angrily, ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Police!¡± The two men showed their IDs and nced at the woman lying on the bed with only half her back exposed. ¡°We¡¯ve received a report that someone is conducting illegal activities here!¡± ¡°What illegal activity!¡± The man pulled the nket over his body and said righteously, ¡°We¡¯re a normal couple!¡± ¡°We will investigate whether you are a couple or not,¡± the police officer said in a serious tone. ¡°Now, please put on your clothes ande with us.¡± The man¡¯s face was livid, but he did not dare to disobey the police. He picked up the clothes beside him and put them on. The woman on the bed did not react at all. The police officer was a little suspicious. He went forward and shouted, ¡°Miss, please put on your clothes ande with us.¡± Still no response. The two police officers looked at each other. The police officer standing by the bed reached out to push her. Before his fingers could touch her snow-white skin, a sinister voice suddenly sounded from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t touch her.¡± For a moment, everyone looked in the direction of the voice. The police officer frowned. ¡°Who are you?¡± The man¡¯s face instantly turned pale, and he stuttered, ¡°Director¡­ Director Jiang¡­¡¯ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were bloodshot, like a violent boss. He kicked the man on his most vulnerable body part. The man screamed like a pig being ughtered. Then he fell to the ground and rolled around, unable to stand properly. When the police saw this, they quickly went forward to stop him. ¡°Hey, what are you doing?!¡± Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen hurriedly went forward to stop Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Brother, Brother, calm down!¡± Lu Qinshang said, ¡°Ah Yan, calm down. This matter can¡¯t be blown up. Otherwise, how can she face others in the future?¡± Jiang Yanshen exuded a murderous aura. If not for Jiang Yunshen and Lu Qinshang stopping him, he would have killed this bastard. The two police officers finally understood what was going on. They looked at the man rolling on the ground and could not sympathize. ¡°Calm down. We will investigate this matter and thew will give justice to the victims.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes swept across them coldly. He forcefully shook off Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen¡¯s arms. When his gazended on the bed, he seemed to have been torn into two. He walked to the bed. His slender arms were trembling and his thin lips were pursed. His throat seemed to have been cut by a knife, and his voice was broken. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ming. His cold fingers pressed against her shoulder as he turned her over. An unfamiliar face came into view. Jiang Yanshen was instantly stunned. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Qinshang: F*ck, what the hell!!! Seeing their strange expressions, the police officer asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yunshen pointed at the person on the bed and asked, ¡°Who is she?¡± The police officer was speechless. How am I supposed to know? ¡°Don¡¯t you know each other?¡± another policeman asked.. Chapter 105 - 105: As If She Was His Most Precious Treasure Chapter 105: As If She Was His Most Precious Treasure Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there seems to be a mistake. We don¡¯t know her,¡± Lu Qinshang replied. The police officer couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes at them. ¡°Then why are you joining in the fun?¡± After saying that, he went forward and patted the woman¡¯s face. ¡°Hey, Miss, wake up, wake up¡­ The woman, who had been unresponsive, slowly opened her eyes. Her mind was in a daze, and she could not react immediately. It was only when she realized that she was naked and that there were many unfamiliar men standing in the room that she screamed in fear. The policeman couldn¡¯t help but cover his ears. ¡°Stop shouting. We¡¯re police officers. This gentleman said that you¡¯re a couple. Is that right?¡± Tears streamed down the woman¡¯s face as she realized what had happened. ¡°No, no, I don¡¯t know him¡­ The police officer nodded. ¡°Alright, put on your clothes and follow us back to the station.¡± They went out first. When the woman came out dressed, the man was dragged away by the police by his cor. While waiting outside, Lu Qinshang went to the security officer¡¯s office to confirm that Lin Qingqian had walked into the room and did note out. Jiang Yunshen was puzzled. ¡°What the hell? Could Lin Qingqian have disappeared into thin air?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyes suddenly shed, and he turned around to enter the room again. Jiang Yunshen and Lu Qinshang quickly followed. ¡°Brother, do you Imow what nappened(¡± Jiang Yanshen walked into the room and first checked the cab in the living room. Lu Qinshang: ¡°You don¡¯t suspect that she¡¯s hiding in the room, do you?¡± Jiang Yunshen echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right. Does she have to be so wretched to hide in the room and watch the live action¡­ *Squeak! * There was a noise from the bedroom. The three of them were stunned. Then, they walked to the bedroom in unison. Lin Qingqian pushed open the cab door and threw her shoes on the floor. Then, she stepped on the floor barefooted, tidied her skirt, and rubbed her sore neck. Her clear eyes looked at Jiang Yunshen. ¡°Who are you calling wretched?¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡® I said you¡¯re wretched, but you¡¯re really wretched! You even hid in such a small cab. Have you practiced the Bone Shrinking Technique? The cab in the hotel bedroom was divided into two floors. If an adult hid inside, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to straighten his neck, let alone his body. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered, and the blood vessels in his eyes faded, but there was an imperceptible redness in the corners of his eyes. He pursed his thin lips tightly and strode in front of her. When Lin Qingqian lowered her head and was about to put on her shoes, he hugged her. It was so tight that not a single gap was left. It was so tight that it seemed like he was going to strangle her to death in his arms. Jiang Yunshen and Lu Qinshang tactfully turned around and left. Lin Qingqian was stunned and couldn¡¯t react for a long time. He¡¯d never held her like this before. Tight and hot, as if she were his most precious treasure. When she was in a daze, the man¡¯s tense and worried voice rang in her ears¡ª ¡°Lin Qingqian, who told you to run around? Didn¡¯t you think that if anything happened¡­¡¯ He paused and did not continue. The worry and urgency reflected in his eyes could not be hidden. Lin Qingqian regained her senses and tried to push him away. ¡°Let go of me first. I can¡¯t breathe anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s steel-like arms rxed a little. His dark eyes stared at her, and his emotions changed rapidly. There was an indescribable lingering fear. At this moment, he finally realized that this woman¡­ was far more important to him than he had imagined. He could not tolerate her being hurt at all! Lin Qingqian took a step back. Perhaps because his gaze was too hot, she subconsciously avoided it and said casually, ¡°I knew that there was a problem when that attendant said that you want me to have this room card. Before I came up, I had already called the police.¡± Chapter 106 - 106: Even Though She Was Kind, She Had To Face Evil Chapter 106: Even Though She Was Kind, She Had To Face Evil It was no coincidence that the two police officers hade. She was the one who had called them! Jiang Yanshen was stunned. Then, he frowned and said, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me? Do you know what danger is?¡± Why didn¡¯t he realize that she was so bold in the past?! Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes. When she looked at him, her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°I have to first figure out if the other party is targeting me or you.¡± She paused for a moment before continuing, ¡°There are some things that you should have thought of when you asked me to attend the banquet with you. If not this time, it will be the next time.¡± The woman standing beside Jiang Yanshen was undoubtedly standing at the edge of the vortex. If she wasn¡¯t careful, she would be pulled into it. He had introduced her like that at the banquet, so it was inevitable that people who didn¡¯t dare toy their hands on Jiang Yanshen would shift their targets to her. And this time, it was clearly because of Jiang Yanshen that she almost suffered an undeserved cmity. How could someone as smart as Jiang Yanshen not think of this connection? He fell silent for a moment. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and said calmly, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I just want to work hard and live a good life. If there¡¯s nothing necessary, please don¡¯t disturb my life.¡± With that, she turned around and walked out of the room without looking at him. Jiang Yan watched her leave and did not chase after her. He had more important things to do now. He first called Song Qin and asked her to send Lin Qingqian back. Then, he called Gu Xici. If this matter reached the police station, Lin Qingqian would inevitably be implicated. With Gu Xici¡¯s help, at least she wouldn¡¯t have to be summoned to the police station for questioning. He wanted to see who was behind tonight¡¯s incident. Lin Qingqian took the elevator downstairs and walked out of the hotel to see Song Qin walking towards her. Song Qin had also heard about what happened just now. When she looked at her, there was a trace of worry in her eyes. ¡°Miss Qingqian, Director Jiang asked me to send you back.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡°But¡ª¡± She was interrupted before she could speak. ¡°I said no.¡± Her tone was much colder than the first time. Song Qin: ¡°¡­ Sob.¡± Miss Qingqian was so fierce. Lin Qingqian saw her troubled expression and Imew that she was just following orders. ¡°I want to be alone for a while. Get the chauffeur to follow me from afar. I¡¯ll call him when I want to go back.¡± Song Qin immediately smiled. ¡°Okay, Miss Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and walked past her, walking along the road aimlessly. The chauffeur obeyed the order and only dared to follow from afar. Lin Qingqian was in a bad mood. Although she had sessfully dodged the bullet tonight, she had made a girl lose her innocence. She knew very well that even without Jiang Yanshen, she would still be walking on a path filled with thorns. Such dirty things would definitely happen again. Did she have to face it in this state forever? She had never thought of hurting others, but if others hurt her, could it be that she could only avoid them and only seek to protect herself? Even though she was kind, she had to face evil. Toothless kindness was a weakness. She couldn¡¯t be a toothless person. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and raised her head to look at the crescent moon above her. She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, and her mood instantly improved. She took out her phone and took a photo of the moon. Then, she posted it on Weibo. Deep Qian V: Instead ofining that roses are full of thorns, be grateful that roses could even grow on thorns. As soon as she posted on Weibo, she receivedments from her fans. They asked her with concern if something had happened. Just as she was about to reply, she suddenly heard panting not far away¡­ Chapter 107 - 107: Looking at Jiang Yanshen Inquiringly: What Is This? Chapter 107: Looking at Jiang Yanshen Inquiringly: What Is This? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian turned her head and looked over. Not far away was a small garden. The streetmps were dim, and she could vaguely see a person sitting on a bench. His breathing was rapid, as if he couldn¡¯t breathe. And his body was trembling. Lin Qingqian no longer hesitated. She lifted her skirt and walked over. Under the light, she saw that the other party was a young man. His face was even paler under the moonlight, and his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, as if he was about to suffocate at any moment. ¡°Are you all right, sir? Sir?¡± She bent to pat him on the back to help him catch his breath. ¡°Medicine¡­ medicine¡­¡± The man¡¯s expression was pained as he squeezed out a blurry word with great difficulty. ¡°Medicine?¡± Lin Qingqian reacted quickly. ¡°You have medicine on you?¡± The man was in so much pain that he could not speak. His fingers gripped his chest tightly as he looked at the ground beside him. Lin Qingqian, who was about to reach for his pocket, followed his gaze and saw the white medicine bottle on the ground. She quickly picked it up, unscrewed it, and poured two pills into his mouth. The man swallowed with difficulty. The drug didn¡¯t take effect that quickly. His expression was still pained, and sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall. Lin Qingqian stood at the side to help him calm down. When the chauffeur from afar saw this, he stopped the car and asked, ¡°Miss Qingqian, do you need any help?¡± Lin Qingqian noticed that he had been pressing on the left side of his chest. There must be something wrong with his heart. She said decisively, ¡°Help me bring him into the car and send him to the nearby hospital.¡± The chauffeur responded and hurriedly went forward to help her help the man to the car by the roadside. The nearest hospital was less than a ten-minute drive away. Lin Qingqian sent him to the emergency room and briefly exined the situation. She also gave the medicine he took to the nurse. It was already eleven o¡¯clock. The doctor said that the patient¡¯s condition had stabilized and he was transferred to the general ward. Perhaps because too many things had happened that night, she was a little tired. After taking a shower, Lin Qingqiany on the bed and fell asleep. She didn¡¯t even dream and slept soundly till the morning. The next day, she went to work full of energy. On the way, she received a call from Lu Yuan who told her that Director Jiang wanted her to go to the Jiang family. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment but still asked the chauffeur to change the route. The moment she entered, she felt that the Jiang family was enveloped by a dark cloud. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t sleep the entire night. He sat on the sofa, his tie loosened, looking a little messy. Madam Jiang was wearing pajamas and sitting opposite Jiang Yanshen with ck circles under her eyes. She looked extremely haggard. Lin Qingqian walked over, her eyes clear. ¡°Why did you call me over?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and said, ¡°Sit.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and chose an armchair a few steps away from him. A few minutester, Li Ruzhu walked down the stairs with her heavy luggage. It was the same as when Lin Qingqian left the Jiang family. The servants in the house watched, but no one dared to go forward to help!! A trace of surprise shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes as she looked at Jiang Yanshen inquiringly. ¡°What is this?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer, but nced at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan immediately said obsequiously, ¡°At dawn, Captain Gu pried open that man¡¯s mouth and found out that someone was behind this. We also found out that the attendant¡¯s ount had an additional 500,000 yuan, and that 500,000 yuan came from Madam Jiang¡¯s ount.¡± With every word Lu Yuan said, Madam Jiang¡¯s expression became even uglier. It wasn¡¯t because Jiang Yanshen knew about this, but because Jiang Yanshen had directly confronted her over this matter! Chapter 108 - 108: Apologize to Miss Lin Chapter 108: Apologize to Miss Lin Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions She thought that even if Jiang Yanshen knew, he would pretend not to know to maintain peace on the surface. After all, she was his biological mother, and Lin Qingqian was just a wild girl from a vige. Lin Qingqian was not too surprised after hearing Lu Yuan¡¯s words. Last night, she had already guessed that it might be Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu. Li Ruzhu must have gone crazy from what she said yesterday afternoon. However, she did not expect them to be so impatient and immediately attack her. Li Ruzhu pushed her luggage over. Her eyes were swollen from crying as she looked at Madam Jiang pleadingly. Madam Jiang took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Yanshen. Before she could speak, the man¡¯s deep and cold voice sounded. ¡°Either she leaves the Jiang family today, or you leave the Jiang family.¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m your biological mother. Now, you want to chase your biological mother away for a woman who made the Jiang family aughingstock?¡± Madam Jiang suddenly stood up and rebuked angrily. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyes swept across her angry and distorted facial features. ¡°Isn¡¯t it you who wants to destroy the rtionship with your biological son for a woman of unknown background?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that he was implying something when he said the words ¡®unknown background¡¯. Madam Jiang was speechless. Biting her lip, she walked to Li Ruzhu angrily and held her hand. Sheforted her, ¡°Ruzhu, go out for a few days. Auntie will visit youter.¡± Li Ruzhu wanted to say something, but Madam Jiang shook her head at her. This matter had already reached this stage. Jiang Yanshen only asked her to move out of the Jiang family. This was the lightest oue. If this continued, the consequences would be even worse if she provoked Jiang Yanshen further. The matter of 100,000 yuanst time had already made Madam Jiang unhappy. Although it was Madam Jiang¡¯s idea this time, she had to take the me. This could make up for what had happened previously. Thinking of this, Li Ruzhu could only stifle her anger. She red fiercely at Lin Qingqian, turned around, and left with her luggage. Madam Jiang instructed the chauffeur to send her off and turned to look at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Ruzhu has left now. Are you satisfied?¡± She was talking to Jiang Yanshen, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian blinked innocently. They were the ones who did the bad things. Jiang Yanshen was the one who chased her away. What did it have to do with me? Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t look satisfied. His thin lips squeezed out a cold voice. ¡°Apologize. ¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Apologize to Miss Lin,¡± Jiang Yanshen repeated coldly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, are you crazy?¡± Madam Jiang almost roared. It was absolutely impossible for her to apologize to this little b*tch. Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm eyes rippled as she looked at Jiang Yanshen in surprise. Clearly, she didn¡¯t expect him to do this. Jiang Yanshen seemed to know that she was looking at him. His deep eyes also turned to look at her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly before she moved her gaze away. She pretended to look at Madam Jiang, but a strange feeling shed across her heart. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and said calmly, ¡°Lu Yuan.¡± Lu Yuan immediately took out his phone and dialed a number. ¡°Hello, is this Chief He?¡± Upon hearing the words ¡°Chief He¡±, Madam Jiang¡¯s face turned pale, and she instantly lost the imposing manner she had just now. ¡°Yes, our Director Jiang wants to talk to you.¡± With that, he handed the phone to Jiang Yanshen. Madam Jiang was angry and anxious.. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what are you trying to Chapter 109 - 109: Apologize, Or Spend The Rest of Your Life In This House Chapter 109: Apologize, Or Spend The Rest of Your Life In This House Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer her. He took the phone and said coldly, ¡°Chief He, please help me freeze all the funds under my mother¡¯s name.¡± Madam Jiang held her breath and roared, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, how dare you! Jiang Yanshen hung up the phone and looked at her with a gaze that was like an abyss, causing fear to surge out from the depths of the heart! Madam Jiang was furious. Her entire body was trembling. Without thinking, she raised her hand to p him! When Lin Qingqian saw this scene, she couldn¡¯t help but frown. Lu Yuan was also shocked¡­ However, before Madam Jiang¡¯s hand could touch Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face, she was stopped halfway. Jiang Yanshen stood up, his tall body standing in front of her like a tall mountain. His dark eyes looked down at her, and every word squeezed out of his throat was as cold as a de¡ª ¡°Apologize, or spend the rest of your life in this house.¡± Everyone knew that Jiang Yanshen was not joking. If he said it, he would definitely be able to do it. Madam Jiang looked down on Lin Qingqian, who came from a remote vige, and hated her from the bottom of her heart. Now that Jiang Yanshen wanted her to apologize to Lin Qingqian, it was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation to her, but she could only suppress her anger and endure this humiliation. She looked at Lin Qingqian with anger and maliciousness in her eyes but in the end, it turned into forbearance. She let go of her tightly bitten lips and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yanshen to force Madam Jiang to this extent, nor did she expect Madam Jiang to really give in and apologize, even if it wasn¡¯t sincere. However, regardless of whether she was sincere or not, she could ept this apology. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°I ept your apology, but¡­ I won¡¯t forgive you.¡± Not every apology could be exchanged for forgiveness. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, are you satisfied? You¡¯ll definitely suffer retribution for treating me like this today , just like your father.¡± Hearing her mention of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s father, Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Yanshen. Wasn¡¯t his father killed in a car ident? There was no emotion on the man¡¯s handsome features. He stood up and looked at Lin Qingqian. His voice was even considered gentle. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you to work.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Madam Jiang, who was like a shrew, and silently swallowed the ¡°no need¡± at the tip of her tongue. She nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them ignored Madam Jiang¡¯s curses and walked out of the vi. The ck Maybach drove smoothly on the road while there was only silence in the car. Lin Qingqian had a lot of questions about his father, but due to her current status, she didn¡¯t ask a single question. No matter what, this was the Jiang family¡¯s business. As an outsider, she shouldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°My father died on the way to see another woman.¡± A man¡¯s deep voice suddenly sounded in the silent car. A trace of surprise shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes. When she looked at him, he turned to look out of the window. There was no trace of emotion on his tall and cold face, like he was already numb. As soon as Lu Yuan, who was in the passenger seat, heard him speak, he immediately raised the block in the middle to give the two of them some space. ¡°They were forced into a marriage. Even after they gave birth to me during the marriage, they didn¡¯t have any feelings for each other.¡± The cold voice seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with him. ¡°My father never let go of that woman. After hearing some news about her, he couldn¡¯t wait to see her. He then got into a car ident on the way and died on the spot.. Li Gun always felt that this was his retribution!¡± Chapter 110 - 110: Other Than You, I Have Nothing to Lose Chapter 110: Other Than You, I Have Nothing to Lose Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was silent. She didn¡¯t understand why a mother would say in front of her child that his father¡¯s death was retribution. ¡°Actually, he just wants to take a look at that woman and know if she¡¯s doing well. In Li Gun¡¯s eyes, it¡¯s already an unforgivable crime and disloyalty to their marriage.¡± When Jiang Yanshen said the words Li Gun, his eyes were filled with mockery and disdain. At this point, he was not even willing to call her mother. Lin Qingqian did notfort him. In this world, there was no such thing as empathy. All thefort was just scratching an itch through the boots. ¡°Why are you telling me this?¡± They were already divorced. He shouldn¡¯t have told her the secret of the Jiang family. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as he turned to look at her. There was an indescribable depth in his dark eyes. ¡°Li Gun is targeting you. It¡¯s not that you¡¯re not good enough, but it¡¯s because the Jiang family is in my hands now. Hence, she can¡¯t do anything to me except vent her anger on you.¡± In other words, Lin Qingqian was just his scapegoat. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care about this. Anyway, those things were in the past. ¡°I¡¯m just curious. You¡¯ve always acted like you hated Li Ruzhu, so why did you tolerate her staying in the Jiang family for so long? And why did you chase her away today?¡± An obscure look shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes as he pursed his thin lips. ¡°Do you know about raising wolves?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± The corners of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Wolves are very dangerous, but if you put them somewhere you can¡¯t see, you won¡¯t know when they will pounce on you and bite you. But if you put them by your side¡­¡± He paused and did not continue. Lin Qingqian blinked and thought for a few seconds. ¡°Then aren¡¯t you afraid that the hungry wolf will suddenly pounce on you and bite you?¡± The smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips deepened. When he bent down to approach her, his fingertips pinched the back of her exquisite ear. His warm fingers caressed it gently, and his voice was low. ¡°Since I dared to raise it for so many years, I naturally have a way to deal with it. Moreover¡ª¡± I have more important things to do now than raise wolves. He didn¡¯t say this, but the way he looked at Lin Qingqian seemed to exin everything. Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t used to his intimate actions and pushed him away. ¡°If you want to talk, just talk. Don¡¯t get so close, and don¡¯t touch me.¡± Jiang Yanshen sat down and turned to look at her face. His eyes were sparkling with starlight. Lin Qingqian asked, ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°Little fox!¡± Lin What the hell? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze on her gradually became sharp. ¡°Regardless of what you said in front of Li Ruzhust night or what you said in front of meter, you just wanted me to not pester you.¡± Lin Qingqian, who had been exposed, felt guilty for a second. ¡°Since you already know, why are you still helping me vent my anger?¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a few seconds. His thick eyshes lowered to hide the light in his eyes. He looked at her with a deep and lonely gaze and said slowly, ¡°Other than you, I have nothing to lose.¡± Therefore, whether it was love or hate, he could put aside his pride and the Jiang family. He only wanted to¡­ fight for himself once. Luo Tianxue was going to participate in a sports program. Lin Qingqian chose a set of red sportswear from the clothing brand she endorsed. Suisui helped her braid her hair. This way, she looked young and yful, and it wouldn¡¯t get in the way when she exercised. Luo Tianxue took a few pictures and went to the recording studio. Lin Qingqian took this opportunity to go to the washroom. When she passed by a dressing room, she was caught off guard and bumped into by someone.. Chapter 111 - 111: Are You Interested in Joining My Studio? Chapter 111: Are You Interested in Joining My Studio? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The other party was a youngdy in her early twenties. She was carrying a few pieces of clothes and did not see Lin Qingqian. When she bumped into her, the clothes were scattered all over the ground. She quickly raised her head and apologized. Her eyes were red and clearly filled with tears, but she did not dare to cry. A woman¡¯s sharp voice came from the room. ¡°Get lost. You can¡¯t even bring me the right clothes. What use do I have for you? Get lost!¡± The girl bit her lips tightly and her face flushed red. She nced at Lin Qingqian again and turned to run without saying anything. Lin Qingqian frowned and turned to look at the woman in the dressing room. She could vaguely see half of her face. She seemed to be Tang Tiantian, the famous flower with high EQand good character in the entertainment industry. It turned out that this was how she was in private. Indeed, celebrities relied on their public image to hype themselves up. Lin Qingqian did not meddle in other people¡¯s business. After all, she did not have the capital to support a passerby now. It was better to go to her washroom. When she came out of the washroom, Lin Qingqian heard faint sobbing sounds. She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she still turned around to meet the girl who had bumped into her outside the dressing room. Perhaps because there was no one around, she was crying very miserably. Her face was covered in snot and tears. Lin Qingqian took out a packet of tissues from her pocket and handed it to her. ¡°If you really don¡¯t want to be heard, go to the rooftop or go home and turn on the television. Cry to your heart¡¯s content. No one will disturb you.¡± The girl looked up at her with tears in her eyes, as if she was the one who had bullied her. Seeing that she didn¡¯t move, Lin Qingqian took out a tissue to wipe the tears on her face. ¡®Women¡¯s tears are as precious as diamonds, but they naturally won¡¯t be worth much if you cry too much.¡± The girl bit her lip and didn¡¯t say anything, but she took the tissue from her and wiped her nose. Lin Qingqian stood up and leaned lightly on the armrest beside her. ¡°Why did she scold you?¡± The girl sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°The manager made a mistake whenmunicating with the brand. She insisted that it was me who took the wrong clothes. I merely took them ording to the list.¡± Even if many artists knew that it was their manager¡¯s fault, they would not dare to lose their temper directly. They would only vent their anger on their assistant. ¡°She fired you?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. The girl shook her head and whispered, ¡°She has a bad temper. No one in the industry is willing to be her assistant.¡± ¡°Then why did you agree?¡± The girl looked embarrassed. ¡°I-I don¡¯t have a good family background. I¡¯m short of money.¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, ¡°Are you interested ining to my studio?¡± The girl was stunned and looked at her with tears in her eyes. ¡°My studio stillcks an assistant. The sry might not be as high as hers, but it will increase in half a year.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes to look at her, and the corners of her mouth curled up. ¡®Most importantly, I don¡¯t scold people.¡± The girl immediately wiped her tears and stood up. ¡°Are you serious? Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯m a dog if I lie to you.¡± The girl nodded without thinking. ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± ¡°My name is Lin Qingqian, the boss of Shi Guang Studio.¡± Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand. The girl¡¯s eyes were filled with amazement as she grabbed her hand excitedly. ¡°I know about Shi Guang Studio. The style you made for Tianxue is so beautiful! So you¡¯re the Shen Qian Goddess!!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re Luo Tianxue¡¯s fan?¡± The girl nodded excitedly. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a fan of Tianxue.. I know she¡¯s super happy to be here today¡­¡± Chapter 113 - 113: Lin Qingqian’s Crimson Lips Mouthed, Word by Word, “Jiang, Yan, Shen.â€� Chapter 113: Lin Qingqian¡¯s Crimson Lips Mouthed, Word by Word, ¡°Jiang, Yan, Shen.¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Probably knowing that Luo Tianxue¡¯s stamina was running out, the production team paused for a long time before calling someone to invite Luo Tianxue over. Luo Tianxue had recovered a little, but her expression was still not good. Suisui touched up her makeup, making her look better. Suisui and Su Ying apanied Luo Tianxue to film the show. Lin Qingqian was sitting on the makeup artist¡¯s seat and scrolling through Weibo. In less than five minutes, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Enter.¡± The man who pushed the door open was huge and looked to be at least 180 meters tall. He was wearing an inappropriate pair of sses on his fat face. When he saw Lin Qingqian, he revealed a solicitous smile. ¡°You¡¯re Shen Qian Goddess, right?¡± Lin Qingqian kept her cell phone, neither admitting nor denying. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s like this. I¡¯m Tiantian¡¯s manager. Everyone calls me Uncle Fatty! We admire the styling you did for Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang, so we want you to do Tiantian¡¯s styling too.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not free.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected without thinking. The fat uncle was stunned. ¡°You rejected it? Do you know our Tiantian¡¯s status in the entertainment industry? Many stylists tried to curry favor with her, but you actually dared to reject her¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s attitude was still indifferent. ¡°I¡¯ve already been booked to style Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang for a year. I really don¡¯t have time, and¡­ my fee is very high.¡± The fat uncle sneered. ¡°How high?¡± Lin Qingqian raised a few fingers. Uncle Fat gasped and said in disbelief, ¡°Are you crazy? Even the top stylists in the industry don¡¯t dare to demand such a price. You¡¯re so young, but your appetite isn¡¯t small.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved into a smile that could not be hidden in her eyes. ¡°You mean Lu Qinshang isn¡¯t worth this price anymore?¡± Uncle Fatty: ¡® Not only was Lu Qinshang a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, but he was also a young master of the Lu family in Lan City. He naturally did not dare to offend him! ¡°My studio has attracted three customers since it opened. You already know two of them. Do you know who the other one is?¡± Lin Qingqian deliberately kept him in suspense. ¡°Who? It can¡¯t be the Best Actor, right?¡± Uncle Fat sneered. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and mouthed word by word, ¡°Jiang, Yan, Shen.¡± The cold smile on Uncle Fat¡¯s face froze. ¡°Director Jiang and I have already reached an agreement to cooperate. In the future, he will also be a frequent guest of my studio.¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head slightly and looked at him, the smile in her eyes meaningful. There were not many female celebrities in the entertainment industry who did not want to get close to the rich and Tang Tiantian was no exception. Unfortunately, she had failed a few times and could only brush past the rich. Tang Tiantian was raised by Uncle Fatty. He naturally knew what Tang Tiantian wanted the most. Moreover, if she could get close to Jiang Yanshen¡­ Would he have to worry about resources in the future? Seeing that his expression was wavering, Lin Qingqian said unhurriedly, ¡°Do you think this price is still expensive now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not expensive, it¡¯s not expensive¡­¡± Uncle Fat quickly shook his head. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s no problem,e to my studio tomorrow to sign the contract.¡± She paused for a moment before adding, ¡°I¡¯m only epting one-time payments here. I don¡¯t ept installments.¡± Uncle Fat nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The next day, Lin Qingqian arrived at the studio early in the morning. Su Ying arrived even earlier and was waiting for her at the door with the breakfast she had brought for her. As Lin Qingqian unlocked the door with her fingerprint, she said, ¡°Don¡¯t buy me breakfast in the future.¡± Su Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t buy it. I made it myself. It¡¯s clean and delicious.¡± Lin Qingqian pushed the door open and turned to look at her. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll register your fingerprintster so you won¡¯t have to stand outside in the future.¡± Su Ying: ¡°Thank you, Boss.¡± Lin Qingqian said helplessly, ¡°Don¡¯t call me Boss, just call me Qingqian.¡± ¡°No, you¡¯re the boss!¡± Su Ying said stubbornly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Sister Qingqian. ¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Not long after breakfast, Suisui came. Then, the fat uncle brought Tang Tiantian over.. Chapter 114 - 114: I Look Forward to a More Satisfactory Service Chapter 114: I Look Forward to a More Satisfactory Service Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lan City¡¯s autumn morning temperature was not considered high. Lin Qingqian and Su Ying were already wearing long pants. On the other hand, Tang Tiantian walked in in a short skirt and high heels. She took off her sunsses and looked around with obvious disdain. ¡°Uncle Fatty, you¡¯re not lying to me, are you?¡± Tang Tiantian turned around and nced at Uncle Fatty. ¡°Does Director Jiang really frequent this ce?¡± When Uncle Fat smiled, the flesh on his face trembled. He coaxed eagerly, ¡°Baby, I¡¯ve asked around. There¡¯s no mistake.¡± Tang Tiantian didn¡¯t say anything, but she still looked at Lin Qingqian unhappily, especially when she saw Su Ying standing behind her. Su Ying was still traumatized by her beating and scolding so she retreated timidly. Sensing this, Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression did not change. She said neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°If Miss Tang still doesn¡¯t believe me, I can help you call Director Jiang to verify it.¡± A trace of doubt shed across her eyes. ¡°You have Director Jiang¡¯s number?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Since I¡¯m Director Jiang¡¯s stylist, I naturally have his contact information.¡± Tang Tiantian raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. Lin Qingqian took out her phone and found Jiang Yanshen¡¯s number. It was marked: Dog of a man. Tang Tiantian stood at the side and pretended not to care. She looked at her a few times and then looked elsewhere. Lin Qingqian took the opportunity to change his name to Director Jiang and called him¡­ The call was picked up after a few rings. The man¡¯s deep voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°Hello¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was afraid that he would say something that he shouldn¡¯t, so she hurriedly said, ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m Lin Qingqian. I¡¯m sorry to disturb you early in the morning. Actually, I wanted to ask if you were satisfied with the style I helped you withst time?¡± On the other end of the line, Jiang Yanshen was silent for a few seconds before replying coldly and emotionlessly, ¡°I¡¯m satisfied.¡± Because she had put it on speaker, Uncle Fatty and Tang Tiantian heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s answer. They couldn¡¯t hide the ecstasy in their eyes. ¡°Director Jiang, you cane to the shop anytime if you need anything. I will provide you with more satisfactory services,¡± Lin Qingqian said again. The phone fell silent again. After a long time, the man¡¯s low and hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to a more satisfactory service.¡± Lin Qingqian Why did it feel like the service he was talking about was different from the service she was talking about? Afraid that Tang Tiantian and the rest would notice something amiss, Lin Qingqian hurriedly said a fewpliments and hung up. ¡°Miss Tang, do you still have any concerns?¡± When Tang Tiantian heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice with her own ears, how could she still have any worries? ¡°Uncle Fatty, sign a contract with her. Also¡ª¡± She paused for a moment and looked at Lin Qingqian. She said arrogantly, ¡°I¡¯ll give you another million if you give me Director Jiang¡¯s contact number.¡± Lin Qingqian revealed an apologetic smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this is a guest¡¯s privacy. I can¡¯t give it to you.¡± ¡°Two million! ¡± Tang Tiantian didn¡¯t seem to understand her words and continued to increase the price. Lin Qingqian looked hesitant. ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°3 million.¡± Tang Tiantian looked impatient. ¡°3 million to buy a number. Think about it carefully. If you don¡¯t sell it today, others will sell it to me in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly, and her porcin-white face had aplicated and conflicted expression. After a long battle, she nodded. ¡°Alright. But Miss Tang, please keep it a secret for me. Otherwise, if Director Jiang pursues the matter, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to survive in Lan City.¡± Her terrified expression and tone sounded so real, no one would doubt her sincerity.. Chapter 115 - 115: Plastic Friendship! Chapter 115: stic Friendship! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Tang Tiantian and Uncle Fatty looked at each other and smiled brightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t betray you.¡± Lin Qingqian then asked them to wait in the guest room for a while and asked Su Ying to pour water for them while she went to retrieve the contract she had preparedst night. Suisui followed her and said worriedly, ¡°You sold Jiang Yanshen for three million yuan. If he finds out, will he silence you?¡± Lin Qingqian took out the contract from the office drawer and checked it once. After confirming that there was no problem, she turned her head and smiled. ¡°Correction. I¡¯m not selling Jiang Yanshen, but his number.¡± Suisui was speechless for a few seconds. ¡°Is there a difference?¡± Men like Jiang Yanshen were especially concerned with their privacy. If he Imew that Qianqian had sold his private phone number for three million yuan, she would probably have to collect Qianqian¡¯s corpse! Lin Qingqian said as she walked, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If Jiang Yanshen pursues the matter, I won¡¯t forget to tell him that you instigated it.¡± Suisui: . What kind of stic friendship was this?? Tang Tiantian didn¡¯t bring awyer with her. Usually, this kind of contract wouldn¡¯t be tooplicated and Uncle Fatty would be able to handle it alone. After a cursory nce to confirm that there were no problems, he signed the contract and transferred the fees to Lin Qingqian¡¯s studio ount. After Lin Qingqian received the money, she stretched out her hand and said, ¡°Nice working with you, Miss Tang.¡± Tang Tiantian nced at Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand in disdain, with no intention of holding it at all. ¡°Where¡¯s the thing I want?¡± ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Lin Qingqian took out a piece of paper and pen and wrote down Jiang Yanshen¡¯s number for her. ¡°You even memorized Director Jiang¡¯s number so well!¡± Tang Tiantian¡¯s expression immediately turned serious when she saw that she did not even look at her cell phone. Lin Qingqian¡¯s pen paused. Who asked this Dog of a man to not change his cell phone number for ten years? ¡°Let me warn you. With Director Jiang¡¯s noble status, he won¡¯t like someone like you.¡± Tang Tiantian looked at her with disdain and warned in an unfriendly tone, ¡°Don¡¯t be delusional and try to seduce Director Jiang!¡± Lin Qingqian wrote down her phone number and handed the paper to her. ¡°Miss Tang, you¡¯ve misunderstood. Director Jiang is an important client of mine. Just like you, I naturally have to memorize my important client¡¯s information and contact details.¡± Tang Tiantian snatched the paper away and nced at Lin Qingqian from the corner of her eye. Her voice seemed toe from her nostrils. ¡°It¡¯s best if that¡¯s the case.¡± With that, she turned to leave with Uncle Fatty. The fat uncle opened the door for her when Su Ying happened to be standing at the door. When she saw them, she immediately retreated. Suisui looked at Tang Tiantian¡¯s arrogant appearance and was furious. ¡°Isn¡¯t she just a lousy celebrity? What¡¯s there to be arrogant about? Jiang Yanshen is nothing. We don¡¯t care.¡± Lin Qingqian was not angry at all. She even said with a smile, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that Jiang Yanshen will kill you if he hears this?¡± Suisui said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell Jiang Yanshen that you sold him for three million yuan. If I die, you must die together with me! !¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Their friendship was made of stic indeed!!! Su Ying waited for Tang Tiantian and the others to walk a few steps away before saying, ¡°Sister Qingqian, Miss Luo is here¡­¡± Suisui was puzzled. ¡°Luo Tianxue doesn¡¯t have an appointment with us today.¡± Lin Qingqian seemed to have thought of something and the smile in her eyes deepened. ¡°She doesn¡¯t have an appointment today, but we have a show to watch.¡± Suisui and Su Ying were confused. What show? Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t exin and walked out of the guest room. Tang Tiantian walked out and Luo Tianxue walked in. The two of them happened to bump into each other.. Chapter 116 - 116: Offending Luo Tianxue, The Little Black Lotus Chapter 116: Offending Luo Tianxue, The Little ck Lotus Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Tang Tiantian had just gotten Jiang Yanshen¡¯s phone number and was overjoyed. She was like a peacock with its tail spread open, extremely coquettish. Luo Tianxue however, was wearing ripped jeans and a white tiger sweater. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and she was wearing white shoes. She looked young and sunny, like the school belle of a prestigious high school. Seeing Tang Tiantian¡¯s proud expression, she couldn¡¯t help but grin. Just as the two of them were about to brush past each other, the fat uncle¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He stopped in his tracks and answered the call. Tang Tiantian stopped and waited for him. A few seconds after the fat uncle received the call, his face instantly turned as ugly as a pig¡¯s liver¡­ Tang Tiantian rarely saw him like this. She narrowed her eyes and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The fat uncle looked at her with aplicated gaze. ¡°Tiantian, the female lead role of the ancient costume drama youted previously was intercepted.¡± Tang Tiantian¡¯s face instantly darkened. ¡°Which little b*tch dares to intercept my things?¡± This ancient drama was a female lead drama with elements of rebirth. The novel was already popr, and it even became a trending topic when production ns were announced. In order to win this female lead role, she even had to sleep with the producer several times. Before the fat uncle could speak, he heard another phone ring. This time, it was Luo Tianxue. She slowly took out her phone from her pocket and answered the call. Her voice rang like a silver bell. ¡°Hello, Brother Ming¡­ The director called me this morning and specifically asked me to act as Jiu Ge.¡± Hearing the word ¡°Jiu Ge¡±, the fat uncle was stunned, while Tang Tiantian stared at Luo Tianxue. Jiu Ge was the name of the female lead Tang Tiantian was supposed to act in. Luo Tianxue acted as if she didn¡¯t see Tang Tiantian¡¯s expression. She looked innocent and harmless. ¡°Perhaps the director took a fancy to my acting skills. I told him that I couldn¡¯t act, but the director insisted that he believes in me. Therefore, I could only work hard to improve my acting skills and not disappoint him. ¡± As soon as she hung um Tang Tiantian could not hold back her anger and questioned, ¡°You stole my role.¡± Luo Tianxue blinked innocently. ¡°Senior, what are you talking about? Why don¡¯t I understand?¡± ¡°Luo Tianxue¡­¡± Tang Tiantian couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by the fat uncle. ¡°Calm down. I heard that she has a sugar daddy behind her. Those who offend her will not have a good ending,¡± the fat uncle whispered in her ear. Luo Tianxue looked like she had just realized something. ¡°I heard that the female lead of this drama was assigned to someone else originally. Could it be you, senior?¡± Tang Tiantian red at her angrily. If Uncle Fatty hadn¡¯t stopped her, she really wanted to tear this little b*tch¡¯s face apart. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. The director has taken a fancy to my ability so I can¡¯t reject him. Senior, you¡¯ve acted in so many works. Why don¡¯t you be my teacher and teach me?¡± Luo Tianxue looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes. Her clear eyes and clean smile seemed to really invite her to be her teacher! Lin Qingqian, who had brought Suisui and Su Ying out, could not help but mourn for her for a minute when she saw Tang Tiantian trembling with anger. Of all people, Luo Tianxue, this little ck lotus, was backed by Lu Corporation¡¯s head, Lu Dongcheng. Lu Dongcheng was not only famous in Lan City, but he was also a top figure in Jiang City! The fat uncle whispered in Tang Tiantian¡¯s ear, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s just a period drama! Let¡¯s fight for other roles!¡± After all, it was Tang Tiantian who provoked Luo Tianxue first. They were in the wrong and could only ept losing the role. Tang Tiantian thought about how she had slept with the director for nothing a few times and was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. Then, she thought about how Luo Tianxue was just a vase. What acting skills could she have? Even if the drama was filmed, it was doomed to be a failure. As the female lead, Luo Tianxue would be the first to be scolded! Thinking of this, Tang Tiantian felt a little better. She red at Luo Tianxue, put on her sunsses, and walked out with her head held high like a queen. Luo Tianxue was still smiling. ¡°Senior, goodbye!¡± And hopefully, never see you again.. Chapter 117 - 117: With Director Jiang l s Support, Luo Tianxue Would Be Nothing!! Chapter 117: With Director Jiang l s Support, Luo Tianxue Would Be Nothing!! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Tang Tiantian and Uncle Fatty had just gotten into the huge van when Uncle Fatty¡¯s phone rang again. When he picked up the call, his face instantly turned pale¡­ Tang Tiantian frowned. ¡®What now?¡± The fat uncle licked his lips. ¡°The legal department at Chanel called to cancel the coboration. You will no longer be the spokesperson of Chanel for them.¡± Tang Tiantian¡¯s face, which had just eased up, suddenly turned pale. ¡°How did this happen? ¡°I don¡¯t know either!¡± Before he could finish speaking, his cell phone rang again. Uncle Fatty picked up the call and felt like fainting. In just ten minutes, five brands endorsed by Tang Tiantian called to end their partnerships. After that, several fashion magazines that they had agreed to appear on were also canceled! Tang Tiantian¡¯s emotions could no longer be described as anger and panic. Instead, she had fallen to the bottom of the valley and was inplete despair. After losing her uing drama role, five endorsements, and a fashion magazine appearance, her career waspletely ruined. ¡°Uncle Fatty, what should we do now?¡± Tang Tiantian asked anxiously, her tears falling. It wasnt easy for her to be a big star respected by everyone. She didn¡¯t want to be beaten back into her original form. ¡°How would I know what to do?¡± Uncle Fatty scolded impatiently and angrily, ¡°I usually tell you to keep a low profile, but you didn¡¯t listen! I already told you not to mess with Luo Tianxue, but you didn¡¯t listen. Now, you¡¯ve kicked an iron board!¡± Tang Tiantian did not dare to make a sound after being scolded by him. She sobbed and said, ¡°I know my mistake now. Uncle Fatty, help me. I was raised by you. You don¡¯t want to see me destroyed like this, right?¡± As she spoke, her slender and fair hand bumped against the man¡¯s belt¡­ Uncle Fatty¡¯s heart softened when he saw her crying. This woman had been with him since she was 18 years old. Although she had slept with many producers and directors over the years, she still had the assets to move men¡¯s hearts. Moreover, he only had this money tree in his hands at the moment¡­ ¡°Didn¡¯t you get Director Jiang¡¯s phone number just now?¡± Uncle Fatty had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so he was naturally more capable than Tang Tiantian. He quickly calmed down. ¡°Call Director Jiang. If you can win his favor, Luo Tianxue will be trampled under your feet in the future.¡± Only then did Tang Tiantian react. That¡¯s right, she could beg Director Jiang. She believed that with her looks and methods, she would definitely be able to charm Director Jiang. With Director Jiang¡¯s support, Luo Tianxue would be nothing!! When Uncle Fatty saw her stop, he frowned and said, ¡°Don¡¯t stop¡­¡± Tang Tiantian came back to her senses and suppressed her disgust before she continued to please this ugly old man. The driver was already used to this. Like a child with ADHD, Luo Tianxue ran around Lin Qingqian¡¯s studio before returning to her office. Su Ying knocked on the door and entered. She put down the soda Luo Tianxue wanted and was about to go out when she was stopped by Lin Qingqian. ¡°This is half a month of your sry deducted by Tang Tiantian. I charged it to her fees.¡± Su Ying was stunned and quickly waved her hand, ¡°No need, Sister Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian stuffed the envelope into her palm. ¡°The price I gave her was already expensive. Moreover, she won¡¯te again in the future.¡± Su Ying blinked and looked puzzled. ¡°Why won¡¯t shee again?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Luo Tianxue and didn¡¯t exin. ¡®You just have to remember that you deserve this. Also, there are few people in our studio now. Suisui and I often have to go out to style. I¡¯ll leave this ce to you. Apart from the studio¡¯s daily work, I¡¯ll also hand over the studio¡¯s Weibo ount to you to manage. It¡¯ll be hard on you..¡± Chapter 118 - 118: Why Can’t You Just Say That I’m Suddenly Not Blind Anymore? Chapter 118: Why Can¡¯t You Just Say That I¡¯m Suddenly Not Blind Anymore? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Su Ying quickly shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s not hard, it¡¯s not hard. I¡¯ll definitely give my all.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips into a faint smile and gave her a look. Su Ying was quite perceptive. She took the sry that Lin Qingqian had helped her collect and went out first. The office door closed and Luo Tianxue pouted. ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re so nice.. Why is Jiang Yanshen so blind as to divorce you?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just say that I¡¯m suddenly not blind anymore?¡± Luo Tianxue ¡® After a few seconds of silence, she said in a clear voice, ¡°That¡¯s not wrong, but¡­ you¡¯re not a man. Otherwise, I would have wooed you.¡± Her starry eyes looked at her as she spoke especially seriously. ¡°Please don¡¯t!¡± Lin Qingqian gave her a stop sign. ¡°I don¡¯t want to find trouble with Lu Dongcheng.¡± Tang Tiantian¡¯s role being snatched away was clearly caused by Lu Dongcheng. It had to be said that Lu Dongcheng treated Luo Tianxue well. ¡°Hmph!¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s cheeks puffed up in anger. ¡°I helped you cheat Tang Tiantian of so much money, but you don¡¯t even want to thank me!¡± Tang Tiantian had been set up by Lu Dongcheng and could no longer stay in the entertainment industry. Although she had signed a contract with Lin Qingqian, she would not have the chance to use Lin Qingqian¡¯s help in styling anymore. ¡°How do you want me to thank you?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Luo Tianxue blinked. ¡°Why don¡¯t you be my personal stylist?¡± Lin Qingqian gave her a look to let her experience it herself. Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue. ¡°Then you have to promise not to help other female celebrities look prettier than me.¡± Lin Qingqian felt that if she didn¡¯t agree, she would never stop. ¡°I promise you, as long as there¡¯s an asion for you, no female celebrity can suppress your limelight, okay?¡± Luo Tianxue revealed a satisfied smile. ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± She paused for a moment and sighed. ¡°Sigh, after taking on this period drama, I have to undergo closed-door training a month in advance. After that, I¡¯ll have to stay with the production team to film. I won¡¯t be able to look for you for a long time.¡± The production team had their own staff, so there was no need for Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and didn¡¯t say anything¡­ ¡°Why? You can¡¯t bear to part with me?¡± Luo Tianxue asked with a smile. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°If you¡¯re not around, I can take on a few more female celebrities¡¯ jobs and earn more money.¡± Luo Tianxue ¡® Excuse me, goodbye! Not long after, Luo Tianxue received a call. Brother Ming was urging her to go back. She stood up reluctantly and reminded Lin Qingqian to visit her set when she was free. Although Lin Qingqian agreed, she thought to herself, I¡¯ve already earned your money but I haven¡¯t even earned the money from the other female celebrities. Why would i be so free to visit you? Fortunately, Luo Tianxue did not know what she was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely fall out with her on the spot! When Luo Tianxue entered the closed-door training, Lin Qingqian was not idle either. With a sum of money from this sucker, Tang Tiantian, the studio finally did not have to worry about money. Lin Qingqian asked Su Ying to post the recruitment information online. If the studio wanted to expand and create glory, the number of staff hired was far from enough. At the same time, she epted the job of styling two actresses for events. Because her price was not low and the other party was not famous, the actresses only dared to coborate with her on a one-time basis. Fortunately, the effect was not bad and they even became a trending topic. The other party was very satisfied and even paid the final payment readily. Suisui felt that the price could be adjusted slightly. After all, their studio had just started making waves. The high price could really scare off a bunch of people.. Chapter 119 - 119: Tang Tiantian’s Image Collapsed Chapter 119: Tang Tiantian¡¯s Image Copsed Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian did not relent. The studio was originally sturctured to be a high-end business. If the price was set very low at the beginning, it would inevitably be criticized if it increased in the future. It was better to take the high-end route from the beginning and set the price first. As long as the effect was good, they would not have to be afraid that celebrities would not be willing to spend this money to be on the trending searches. Especially those celebrities who already had poprity but did not have fashion resources. In order to snatch fashion resources, they would be willing to spend any amount of money. Just like that, Suisui was convinced by her. Most importantly, Qianqian said that if they epted a few more orders, they would receive a year-end bonus!!! While Lin Qingqian was progressing in an orderly manner, Tang Tiantian was in trouble. Not only did she lose her role, endorsements, and magazine shoots, but her usual harshness towards her assistant and even her scoldings were also exposed to the public. There was even an anonymous ount that exposed that the new staff of Shi Guang Studio was Tang Tiantian¡¯s ex assistant. Because of Tang Tiantian¡¯s harsh treatment towards her, Goddess Shen couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and brought her over. She even helped to ask for the half a month¡¯s sry that Tang Tiantian had withheld. For a moment, Tang Tiantian¡¯s gentle character copsed and became a trending topic. At the same time, Shi Guang Studio also became a trending topic. When Su Ying excitedly went to look for Lin Qingqian to talk about being on the trending searches and how she wanted to take advantage of this poprity to promote the studio. However, Lin Qingqian refused and told her to focus on the daily work of the studio and not get involved in the trending topics to avoid being dissed for stepping on Tang Tiantian to do marketing. Su Ying agreed verbally, but she couldn¡¯t help but write a fewments (herself) under the anonymous ount to praise Shen Qian Goddess! When Tang Tiantian saw the trending topic #Tang Tiantian¡¯s image had copsed, she was so angry that she wanted to smash her phone. Uncle Fatty immediately stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t be rash. As long as Director Jiang likes you, you still have a chance!¡± ¡°I call Director Jiang every day, but he won¡¯t answer.¡± She was about to break down. ¡°Maybe Director Jiang didn¡¯t pick up because it¡¯s an unfamiliar number.¡± Uncle Fatty thought for a moment and said, ¡°Try texting him.¡± Tang Tiantian did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent a message. The message was sent sessfully. The cell phone was unlocked and ced on the coffee table. She sat on the white carpet and stared at the message on the cell phone. [Director Jiang, hello. I¡¯m Tang Tiantian. I¡¯m a very outstanding actress. I wonder if you¡¯ve seen my work. It¡¯s fine if you haven¡¯t. I want to talk to you face to face.] An hourter. The cell phone sent out a low-power warning. The message was lying there alone without any response. ¡°What should I do?¡± Tang Tiantian looked in a panic at Uncle Fatty who walked out of the room. ¡°Director Jiang didn¡¯t reply to my messages at all.¡± He might not even have looked at it. Uncle Fatty said that texting was too stupid. She should have thought of that long ago. Uncle Fatty held the cell phone in his hand and his eyes turned dark. ¡°Go change into a good-looking outfit and put on some makeup.¡± ¡°I¡¯m already like this, how can I still have the mood to dress up!!¡± Tang Tiantian said impatiently. ¡°I¡¯ve heard that Director Jiang will be discussing a coboration with someone in 1942 tonight.¡± Uncle Fatty said in a low voice, ¡°Whether you can seize this opportunity is entirely up to you.¡± Tang Tiantian immediately saw hope. She stood up and flipped her hair. She said confidently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As long as I see Director Jiang, I will definitely have a way to make him fall in love with me at first sight!¡± Bar 1942. Jiang Yanshen took off his jacket and ced it on the sofa. He was wearing a dark blue shirt with sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his exquisite wrist. His well-defined fingers were holding a ss of soda. Lu Dongcheng couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He snatched the water from his hand and exchanged it for a ss of wine. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, are you ok? It¡¯s a miracle that Tianyue hasn¡¯t closed down yet.¡± His tone was filled with disdain.. Chapter 120 - 120: Lin Qjngqian Gave Me Your Phone Number Chapter 120: Lin Qjngqian Gave Me Your Phone Number Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly when he smelled the alcohol and put down the wine ss. He had not seen Lin Qingqian for a few days. Even if the coboration with Lu Corporation was finalized, he was not very happy. Moreover, he never drank. When Lu Dongcheng saw this, his expression darkened. ¡°No matter what, today is the first day of our cooperation. Director Jiang, can you give me some face?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him, as if to say: Is your face very valuable? Lu Dongcheng picked up his wine ss and took a sip. He felt that it was boring. The other executives were celebrating outside, but he and Jiang Yanshen were in the private room. He was extremely bored, so he called the office line and asked the bar manager to arrange something to liven things up. Five minutes after the call ended, there was a knock on the door. Seven or eight youngdies walked in, dressed in skimpy clothes. They were as passionate as fire. ¡°Director Jiang, Director Lu¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes swept across them coldly. They were all people who worked in this kind of industry, so how could they not have any discernment? They knew that the other party was not interested in them, so they rushed towards Lu Dongcheng at the same time¡ª ¡°Director Lu¡­¡± Lu Dongcheng did not reject anyone. He immediately had a woman on his left and a woman on his right. It was more lively to drink with more people. Jiang Yanshen picked up his water and was about to drink it when a woman in a ck halter dress approached him. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± A coquettish voice apanied by the pungent smell of perfume entered Jiang Yanshen¡¯s nose. He suddenly frowned and turned his head to shoot a cold gaze at her. ¡°Get lost.¡± The woman was shocked by his fierce aura. After a moment, she said indignantly, ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m Tang Tiantian. I sent you a message. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± A text message? Jiang Yanshen nced at her and finally remembered that an unknown number had been calling recently and there were also inexplicable messages. His phone number was extremely private. Common folks should not have it at all. How did this woman find out his number? ¡°Why do you have my phone number?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked coldly. When she heard that he was willing to talk to her, she was secretly happy. This meant that Director Jiang was interested in her. ¡°A friend of mine gave it to me,¡± she replied in a sweet voice. She even deliberately arched her back and lowered her body to reveal her impressive cleavage. As long as he was a man, she didn¡¯t believe that he wouldn¡¯t be seduced. In the end, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even look at her and asked coldly, ¡°Which friend?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Tang Tiantian looked troubled and said coquettishly, ¡°I can¡¯t tell Director Jiang about this. Otherwise, my friend will me me.¡± Jiang Yanshen only felt disgusted when he saw her pretentious appearance. He suddenly raised his voice and called, ¡°Lu Yuan.¡± Lu Yuan, who was guarding the door, immediately pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Director Jiang!¡± Jiang Yanshen was expressionless. Without even blinking, he said, ¡°Throw this woman out.¡± Tang Tiantian¡¯s smile froze. The thick foundation covered the paleness on her face as she looked at Jiang Yanshen in disbelief. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡¯ Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be bothered to look at her. His voice was cold. ¡°If you say it, I can let you walk out. If you don¡¯t say it¡­¡¯ The result was self-evident. Being thrown out of the private room by Lu Yuan was equivalent to telling everyone that she had offended Jiang Yanshen!! If she offended Jiang Yanshen, she wouldn¡¯t be able to survive in Lan City, let alone the entertainment industry. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ll talk, I¡¯ll talk¡­¡± Sweat rolled down Tang Tiantian¡¯s forehead like a waterfall. She thought of how she had met Luo Tianxue at Shi Guang Studio that day. Perhaps Lin Qingqian and Luo Tianxue were in cahoots and had colluded to harm her. ¡°Lin Qingqian!¡± She said in an affirmative tone twice. ¡°Your phone number was given to me by Lin Qingqian..¡± Chapter 121 - 121: You Know Her Very Well? Chapter 121: You Know Her Very Well? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen was stunned, and his eyes darkened. ¡°Who?¡± Under his sinister gaze, Tang Tiantian licked her lips and squeezed out a sentence. ¡°Lin Qingqian from Shi Guang Studio.¡± ¡ªBang! The cup in his hand was instantly crushed, and the fragments pierced into his palm. Blood dripped onto the ground. ¡°Director Jiang!¡± Lu Yuan called out worriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll go get the medicine box.¡± Tang Tiantian was so frightened that she slid off the sofa and sat on the ground, trembling. ¡°It¡¯s not my fault. Director Jiang, it is really not my fault.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. His pitch-ck eyes were like an abyss that couldn¡¯t be seen, and his emotions were difficult to fathom. Lu Yuan moved quickly. He came back with the medicine box and squatted in front of him to treat his wound. Lu Dongcheng, who had been drinking and watching the show for a long time, finally couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°You said that Lin Qingqian gave you the number. But why is it that the truth lookspletely different from what you said?¡± Tang Tiantian raised her head and looked at him. She didn¡¯t recognize him. She had never seen him at a table before. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lu Dongcheng let go of the woman in his arms and leaned closer to her. The corners of his lips curled into a devilish smile, and his deep voice slowly sounded. ¡°You don¡¯t even know who you¡¯ve been done in by. Is the entertainment industry filled with brainless vases like you now?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Tiantian¡¯s eyes widened as she instantly understood. ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ You¡¯re the man supporting Luo Tianxue.¡± Lu Dongcheng revealed a gratified smile. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not too stupid. Remember, my name is Lu Dongcheng.¡± Tang Tiantian was paralyzed on the ground. It was as if she had fallen into an abyss and was in extreme despair. One was Lu Dongcheng, and the other was Jiang Yanshen. It was obvious that her dream had been shattered. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at him and asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lu Dongcheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°I heard that she signed a contract with Lin Qingqian¡¯s studio and even spent three million yuan to buy your phone number from Lin Qingqian.¡± She paused for a moment and said with a smile, ¡°As for whether Lin Qingqian really wanted to sell it or not, you can ask her yourself.¡± Lu Yuan: Can you stop adding fuel to the fire? Scum!!! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was extremely dark. He stood up and was about to leave. Lu Dongcheng stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to question the sinner?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at him. His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I?¡± Lu Dongcheng smiled. ¡°You deserve to be abandoned by a woman.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Women need to be coaxed. Especially women like Lin Qingqian, who looks weak and easy to bully, but is actually very smart.¡± Lu Dongcheng boasted to the woman in his left arms, causing her tough. The veins on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s forehead popped up. ¡°You understand her very well?¡± Lu Dongcheng was speechless for a few seconds. This kind of jealous old man was really annoying. ¡°I understand all women, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent. He didn¡¯t understand, he didn¡¯t understand Lin Qingqian, and he didn¡¯t understand women either. Lu Dongcheng let go of the beauty in his arms and walked towards him with a ss of wine. ¡°I can help you, as long as you give me this little bastard.¡± He looked at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan¡¯s face darkened. He red at him angrily and looked at Jiang Yanshen pitifully. Director Jiang wouldn¡¯t really hand him over for the sake of wooing Madam back, right? Jiang Yanshen nced at Lu Yuan from the corner of his eye and said coldly, ¡°Not him.¡± Lu Dongcheng¡¯s smile froze for a few seconds before he smiled. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future.¡± He then handed the wine ss to Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Here, drink it..¡± Chapter 122 - 122: Stop Pretending, I Know You Don’t Drink Chapter 122: Stop Pretending, I Know You Don¡¯t Drink Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen frowned and repeated in a cold tone, ¡°I don¡¯t drink.¡± Lu Dongcheng¡¯s handsome face was filled with impatience. ¡°If you don¡¯t drink, how can I send you over to Lin Qingqian¡¯s ce?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as he looked at him with his dark eyes, as if he had understood something amazing. ¡°Trust me, no woman would argue with a drunk man.¡± Lu Dongcheng stuffed the wine ss into his hand and patted his shoulder. He said in a rather experienced manner, ¡°It¡¯s best if you¡¯re half-drunk and can still speak from the heart, understand?¡± His handsome brows raised. Although Jiang Yanshen¡¯s EQwasn¡¯t high enough, his IQwas very high and his learning ability was extremely strong. He could understand the essence of Lu Dongcheng¡¯s words. Except¡ª His deep eyes stared at the wine ss as if he was worried about something. After hesitating for a moment, he finally raised his head and drank it in one gulp. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat and into his stomach. The sharp taste made him frown in difort. Lu Dongcheng poured him another cup. ¡°Drink more. Your eyes are too clear. You won¡¯t be able to deceive Lin Qingqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen finished it in one gulp. Lu Yuan stood at the side and watched, his eyes filled with worry. ¡°Director Jiang really can¡¯t drink.¡± Lu Dongcheng nced at him coldly. ¡°Do you have the right to speak here?¡± Next, he poured a third ss of wine for Jiang Yanshen. After three sses of wine, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes had already started to turn red, and there was a strong smell of alcohol in his breath. Without waiting for Lu Dongcheng to pour more wine, he put down the ss and walked out. Lu Yuan followed behind him worriedly. ¡°Director Jiang, are you alright?¡± When Lu Dongcheng was about to walk out, the bodyguard nced at the woman lying on the ground in the private room. ¡°Director Lu, how should we deal with her?¡± The man stopped in his tracks and turned to nce at the woman coldly. He opened his thin lips slightly and said casually, ¡°I don¡¯t have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex like Director Jiang. Strip her naked and throw her out.¡± The bodyguard was full of questions but he still listened to orders. ¡°Yes.¡± The night was dark outside the window, and the apartment was filled with orange light. The temperature at night was low, and it was not time for warmth to return to Lan City. When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a khaki-colored long robe. There was aptop on the coffee table in the living room. She poured a ss of hot water for herself before sitting next to it. The florescent white light made her skin look even fairer and smoother, like that of a newborn baby. As she drank water, she looked at the clothes and items on the page. They were all the main products of this winter that had been showcased in advance by various brands. Although most celebrities had their own endorsement brands, in terms of fashion resources, there were too many boats chasing too few fish. If she could get in touch with these brands, it would be much more convenient for her to find clients. Just as she was focused on reading, the doorbell suddenly rang. She got up and walked to the door. Through the peephole, she saw a magnified face. She frowned and hesitated for a moment before opening the door. ¡°Miss Lin, we meet again.¡± Lu Dongcheng greeted her with a smile. Lin Qingqian was stunned because Jiang Yanshen was standing beside Lu Dongcheng. ¡°What are you two doing here sote at night?¡± Lu Dongcheng pushed Jiang Yanshen in front of her. ¡°Director Jiang drank too much. Please take care of him.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s height of 1.89 meters waspletely towering over Lin Qingqian. She instinctively reached out to stabilize him. When she realized what was going on, Lu Dongcheng was no longer at the door. Jiang Yanshen leaned against her, reeking of alcohol. His long eyshes fluttered, as if he had fallen asleep. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Lin Qingqian tried to call him twice. ¡°Stop pretending. I know you don¡¯t drink..¡± Chapter 123 - 123: If You Want Money, I’ll Give You… Chapter 123: If You Want Money, I¡¯ll Give You¡­ The man leaning on her shoulder did not react at all. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at his ears, neck, and face. His face was abnormally red, and even his breath was filled with the smell of alcohol. ¡°He really drank!¡± Then, she looked at the door. There was no Song Qin or Lu Yuan. Was there something wrong with Lu Dongcheng? Jiang Yanshen was drunk and he didn¡¯t send him back to the Jiang family or call Lu Yuan and Song Qin. Instead, he chose to send him here? Lin Qingqian struggled to help the heavy man to lie down on the sofa. She picked up the phone on the coffee table and called Song Qin. No one answered. She called Lu Yuan again, but no one picked up. Lin Qingqian frowned and looked at Jiang Yanshen coldly, suspecting that they were colluding! ¡°Jiang Yanshen, Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± She bent down and called out twice. The man¡¯s eyes were tightly shut and his breathing was even. There was no reaction. She got up and was about to stand up when the man¡¯s arm suddenly raised and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into his arms. Caught off guard, Lin Qingqian was pulled down by him and fell into his muscr arms. She looked up and fell into the man¡¯ske-like eyes. ¡°I knew you were pretending. Jiang Yanshen, you¡ª¡± Before she could finish speaking, the man¡¯s faint voice sounded. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She only heard the man¡¯s faint voice say, ¡°You sold me for three million?¡± Perhaps it was because he had drunk alcohol, but his eyes were not as sharp as usual. They were a little lost, a little aggrieved, and helpless. Lin Qingqian coughed lightly. ¡°I merely sold your phone number, and¡­¡¯ Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly flipped over and their positions changed instantly. Lin Qingqian was below him while he was on top. His heavy body was like a rock pressing on Lin Qingqian¡¯s chest, so heavy that she couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, get up¡­¡± Her fair fingers pushed against his chest a few times, but it was useless. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and looked at her with his dark eyes. His thin lips parted slightly. ¡°If you want money, I¡¯ll give it to you¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want your money.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t seem to hear her. He continued in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯ll give you as much as you want¡­¡± After saying that, he lowered his head and searched for her lips. He even muttered, ¡°You said that you would give me a more satisfactory service¡­¡± Lin Qingqian realized what he wanted to do and immediately turned her head to avoid him. His warm lips pressed against her cheek. As if he was unsatisfied, he continued to search. Lin Qingqian tried to avoid him, but the man just wouldn¡¯t stop.. Pa! A pnded on his face. Jiang Yanshen froze. Lin Qingqian took the opportunity to push him away and got up from the sofa to straighten her cardigan. Her expression was cold. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, if you want to act as the domineering boss, go elsewhere. I don¡¯t wee you here. Get out! Otherwise, I¡¯ll report you for sexual harassment!¡± Her slender finger pointed at the door. Jiang Yanshen knelt on one knee and arched his back. He held his forehead with one hand and did not speak for a long time. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, stop pretending.¡± Seeing that he had no reaction, Lin Qingqian spoke coldly. He maintained this posture and did not move, as if he had entered a meditative state. The atmosphere was extremely quiet for a moment, as if the sound of their breathing had been magnified countless times. Lin Qingqian realized that something was wrong and went forward to touch his shoulder. ¡°Jiang Yan¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up, his voice tense and cold. Lin Qingqian took a step back in fright. His breathing was rapid, and his face was covered in sweat. His deep eyes were also filled with a shocking scarlet color.. Chapter 124 - 124: Was She…Frightened? Chapter 124: Was She¡­Frightened? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions His appearance was really too scary. Lin Qingqian had never seen him like this and was stunned for a moment. Jiang Yanshen reacted and his Adam¡¯s apple bobbed a few times. He suddenly stood up and walked towards her bedroom. Lin Qingqian reacted and followed him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer. He entered the room and closed the door. Lin Qingqian wanted to push open the door but realized that it was locked from the inside. She kept knocking on the door. ¡°Jiang Yanshen,e out. What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± His reaction and expression were too wrong. However, no matter how she knocked and called him, Jiang Yanshen remained in the room. There were even banging sounds in the room, as if something was being smashed, followed by the sounds of something shattering. Through the wooden door, Lin Qingqian could clearly hear the sounds inside, as if every sound was ruthlessly smashing into her heart. It would be fine if he only smashed things, but if he hurt himself¡­ Lin Qingqian did not dare to hesitate. She immediately went to the living room to take out her cell phone to make a call, but Song Qin and Lu Yuan did not pick up her call. Just as she was hesitating about what to do, she saw theputer on the coffee table. She immediately squatted down and opened the webpage to search¡ªShen Zhiwei. 1029 P.M. Shen Zhiwei was dressed in a professional suit. She knocked on the door with her briefcase. Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°I understand. Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± After saying that, she walked to the door and knocked on the white door three times with her fair fingers. She said gently, ¡°Director Jiang, it¡¯s me. Please open the door for me.¡± After saying that, about three minutester, the door slowly opened. Shen Zhiwei nced at Lin Qingqian and went in. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t spy on the room and Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t let her in either. Clearly, he didn¡¯t want her to see him lose control. She closed the door and sat down in front of the sofa. She looked at theptop calmly and hesitated for a few minutes. In the end, she brought theptop to herp and typed a few words on the ck keyboard with her slender porcin-white fingers¡ªlrritated, violent. In the room. After Jiang Yanshen opened the door for Shen Zhiwei, his tall body slowly slid down against the wall and sat on the ground dejectedly. His clothes were in a mess and he was drenched in sweat. His palms were covered in bright red blood. Shen Zhiwei closed the door and squatted down in front of him. As she took out the syringe from her briefcase, her expression was solemn. ¡°Director Jiang, I reminded you not to touch things like cigarettes and alcohol that can stimte your nerves. ¡± The man lowered his head and did not speak. He let her inject the medicine into his body to calm the wild beast in his body. Shen Zhiwei removed the needle with practiced movements and pressed a cotton swab on the needle hole to prevent bleeding. ¡°Director Jiang, I told youst time that you have to control your emotions. Otherwise¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up at her. ¡°How is she?¡± When he lost control, his rationality wasn¡¯t very clear. He didn¡¯t know if he had hurt her. Shen Zhiwei was stunned for two seconds before she realized that the ¡°she¡± he was referring to was Lin Qingqian. ¡°She should be fine.¡± When she came in, she saw that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t have any injuries. Jiang Yanshen was silent for a few seconds.. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°Was she¡­ frightened?¡± Chapter 125 - 125: He Would Only Hurt Himself Chapter 125: He Would Only Hurt Himself Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Well¡­ Shen Zhiwei recalled Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression when she came in. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with confusion. It was obvious that she was frightened. However, for the sake of her patient, Shen Zhiwei had to tell a kind lie. ¡°Miss Lin is a strong person.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything else. He lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Shen Zhiwei saw that there was no blood from the needle hole and wrapped the blood-stained cotton swab with a tissue. ¡°Do you need me to inform Special Assistant Lu?¡± In other words, she wanted to take him back to rest. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and thought for a moment. ¡°Tell her I¡¯m asleep.¡± Shen Zhiwei understood what he meant. ¡°Then I¡¯ll help you to the bed.¡± She turned around to pick up the nket on the ground and shook it a few times before spreading it out. After confirming that there were no dangerous items, she helped Jiang Yanshen to the bed to rest. Jiang Yanshen was probably really tired. He closed his eyes the moment hey down. Shen Zhiwei covered him with the nket. She didn¡¯t know if it was because the medicine had taken effect or because the nket was filled with Lin Qingqian¡¯s scent, but Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tense nerves slowly rxed. Even his tightly furrowed brows gradually rxed, and not long after, his breathing slowed down. Shen Zhiwei confirmed that he was really asleep before she tiptoed out of the room. Lin Qingqian was sitting on the sofa. Herptop was already closed and ced at the side. When she heard the faint sound of the door closing, she subconsciously looked over. Shen Zhiwei threw the tissue into the trash can and walked up to her. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°Director Jiang is fine, but he might have to stay for the night.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her dry lips and stared at her with her bright eyes. ¡°What happened to him?¡± Shen Zhiwei was silent. Just as she was thinking about how to tactfully express that she wanted to protect the patient¡¯s privacy, she heard Lin Qingqian¡¯s extremely soft voice¡ª ¡°Bipr disorder? Violent tendencies? Mania?¡± ¡°Miss Lin.¡± Shen Zhiwei nced at her and said calmly, ¡°President Jiang will not hurt you or anyone else.¡± He would only hurt himself. ¡°As for what illness he has, this is the patient¡¯s privacy. You should ask Director Jiang yourself. I can¡¯t reveal the patient¡¯s condition.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head andughed inexplicably. Her cold voice carried a hint of mockery. ¡°I still remember that when I was about to get a divorce, he said that I was mentally ill. So the person who was mentally ill was himself.¡± That night, Lin Qingqian did not sleep at all and sat on the sofa until dawn. When Jiang Yanshen woke up, he pushed open the door and walked out. He was stunned to see her busy in the kitchen. She was still wearing the clothes fromst night. Her hair was casually tied into a bun, and a few strands fell, adding to her disheveled beauty. The casserole on the stove was boiling something and steam fogged the kitchen ss door. At that moment, her slender silhouette became imprinted in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart. For some reason, when he saw this scene, his heart suddenly felt very warm. It no longer felt empty. Lin Qingqian seemed to have sensed that someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw the figure outside the kitchen door. Her expression was indifferent as she turned around to turn off the fire. She took out two bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, walked to the kitchen door, and handed them to him. ¡°Help me set the table.¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned for a moment. He took the bowl and chopsticks and walked to the dining table in confusion. Lin Qingqian brought the casserole to the dining table and went to the fridge to take out the cold dishes that she had just made in the morning. One serving of porridge and two cold dishes. The two of them finished eating silently. Lin Qingman picked up tne DOWI andopst1cKs and went to tne kitchen to wash them. She didn¡¯t say a word throughout the entire process. She didn¡¯t even look at him and treated him like air.. Chapter 126 - 126: Thank You Then Chapter 126: Thank You Then Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold face was expressionless, but his heart was beating uncontrobly. It was an unprecedented sense of panic. Lin Qingqian washed the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. When she came out, she was carrying a medicine box. Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa, his back as straight as a tree. When he heard footsteps, he looked up at her, his dark eyes hiding caution. Lin Qingqian walked in front of him and squatted down. Without saying a word, she opened the medicine box and took out an alcohol cotton, grabbing his wrist. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his lips and his dry voice was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. ¡°Shut up.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Lin Qingqian used an alcohol cotton to disinfect his palm and wiped away the blood near the wound. She then applied ointment and took out a piece of gauze to bandage his wound. Jiang Yanshen was still wearing yesterday¡¯s clothes. The top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his corbone. His sleeves were rolled up above his elbows, revealing half of his arms¡­ When Lin Qingqian saw the scar on his arm, her eyshes that were as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings couldn¡¯t help but tremble a few times. The scar on his arm was left behind when he saved her in Jiang City. The twisted and ugly scar might never be removed in this life. Jiang Yanshen followed her gaze and looked at the scar on his arm. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and rolled her eyes at him. She said coldly, ¡°Who cares if it hurts?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡®I¡­¡± Even the slowest person could sense that Lin Qingqian was very unhappy at this moment, let alone Jiang Yanshen. However, he could not figure out what she was unhappy about. His thick eyshes trembled a few times as he pursed his lips uneasily and slowly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to lose my temper at youst night. I just didn¡¯t want to hurt you.¡± Lin Qingqian used the scissors to cut off the excess bandages. She put down the scissors and nced at him with a faint smile. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, should I thank you for not beating me up during the past three years?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression suddenly changed. He didn¡¯t even dare to look at her directly, and his hands that hung by his sides clenched into fists. Lin Qingqian also realized that her words were too sharp. She took a deep breath, packed the medicine box, and stood up. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anything. I don¡¯t want to know what you didn¡¯t tell me in the past seven years. I won¡¯t tell anyone about what happenedst night either. You can leave.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around to leave. ¡°Mania.¡± The man¡¯s deep and tense voice came from behind. Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and didn¡¯t move with her back facing him, but her hand that was holding the medicine box couldn¡¯t help but tighten. ¡°I have mania. That¡¯s why I don¡¯t dare to drink or smoke. I¡¯m afraid that the alcohol will stimte my nerves and I¡¯ll lose control.¡± The man lowered his eyes. His thin lips moved, and his voice was as bitter as rust. ¡°I don¡¯t hate you. I just don¡¯t know how to get along with you, and I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to control myself and hurt you.¡± Even in bed, he tried his best not to lose control. He simply did not want to hurt or scare her. Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at him. Her clear eyes were clear, without the slightest hint of being touched or heartache. ¡°Thank you then.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and met her eyes. He frowned slightly and added faintly, ¡°I¡¯m also afraid that if the outside world finds out that I have mania, the Jiang family will fall into chaos again. ¡± Ordinary people would be judged by others if they contracted this illness, let alone Jiang Yanshen, who was the head of the Jiang family. Once it was revealed that he had mania, the shareholders of Tian Yue, the side branches of the Jiang family, and those who were eyeing him covetously would take the opportunity to do too many things.. Chapter 127 - 127: Was The Person I Liked For The Past Seven Years Really Jiang Yanshen? Chapter 127: Was The Person I Liked For The Past Seven Years Really Jiang Yanshen? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian understood the meaning in his words. The first person she thought of was his second uncle, Jiang Yunshen¡¯s father¡ªJiang Chongjing. Back then, when the second son of the Jiang family fought for the Tian Yue Corporation, Jiang Chongjing methods were extremely vile. Hence, he was sent to Africa by the Jiang family¡¯s Old Master to manage a factory. Even the olddy hated him to the core. However, Jiang Chongjing made sure to keep in contact with Tian Yue¡¯s shareholders for all these years. If he knew about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s illness, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn¡¯t make aeback. Understanding was one thing. epting was another. Seven years. For a whole seven years, Lin Qingqian boasted that she knew Jiang Yanshen very well, but today, she realized that she didn¡¯t Imow him at all. She didn¡¯t even dare to confirm how true his words were today. ¡°Then aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting me now?¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and the smile on her lips almost reached her eyes. ¡°You know that you can¡¯t drink, but you still dared to drink ande to me!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°I¡¯ve been taking medicine for treatment. I thought I could control it¡­¡± He did not expect her to p himst night. At that moment, it was as if the cage that held the beast in his body had been broken. Lin Qingqian: ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would give you a p.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® ¡°If you dare to do this again, not only will I p you, but I will also call the police!¡± Lin Qingqian warned coldly. Jiang Yanshen clenched his fists and said in a low voice, ¡°Last night, I¡­ couldn¡¯t help myself. ¡± After drinking, he felt very dizzy and his body became very hot. His mind kept reying those few times with her, so much so that he tried to hug her without saying anything. When he hugged her, he felt that her skin was soft and fragrant. Thus, he was not satisfied with hugging her, but he also wanted to kiss her¡­ Not to mention seven years ago, even if it was a month ago, Lin Qingqian would never have thought that in her lifetime, Jiang Yanshen would say in a low and hoarse voice that he could not control his feelings for her. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Lin Qingqian had just opened her mouth when the man suddenly stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯llpensate you with a new set of all the items for the mess I made in the room. I¡¯ll be going to work now.¡± Without giving her a chance to speak, he walked towards the door. Lin Qingqian walked to the bedroom door and looked at the mess on the floor. Cosmetics and mirrors were all scattered on the floor. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she could tell how terrifying it was when he lost control of himself. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel anything. She had thought that the young man she had always liked had a bright and warm heart. Only now did she know that he had been troubled by his emotional issues. There was no sunlight in his heart, only darkness. Lin Qingqian involuntarily squatted down and looked at the flickering light on the ss shards, reflecting half of her face. Was the person she liked in the past seven years really Jiang Yanshen? Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t return to the Jiang family. There were clothes and a bathroom in the office. He took a shower and changed into clean clothes. As soon as he came out, he received a call from Lu Dongcheng. The man¡¯s devilish voice sounded on the other end of the phone. ¡°Director Jiang, did you seedst night¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen hung up. The next second, Lu Dongcheng called again, and Jiang Yanshen blocked him. Lu Dongcheng, who had just exercised in the morning, wiped his sweat as he held his phone with a puzzled expression. Could it be that Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t satisfy himst night? Jiang Yanshen threw his phone on the table and dialed the office line to ask Song Qin to prepare items that were essential for a girl¡¯s bedroom and send them to Lin Qingqian¡¯s apartment. After instructing Song Qin, he was still worried and called Shen Zhiwei¡­ Chapter 128 - 128: Lu Qjnshang Is Good at Everything, But He Won ‘t Marry You Chapter 128: Lu Qjnshang Is Good at Everything, But He Won ¡®t Marry You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t go to the studio. Instead, she tidied up her room at home. Just as she finished packing up and was about to throw the trash and go out, the doorbell rang. When she saw Song Qin through the peephole, she opened the door. Song Qin stood at the side and said respectfully, ¡°Miss Qingqian, please move aside. Be careful not to get hurt.¡± After saying that, she said to the worker beside her, ¡°Be careful when you move the things. Don¡¯t break them.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could react, Song Qin pulled her to the sofa and sat down. She poured her a ss of water and continued to instruct the workers. For a moment, Lin Qingqian suspected that this was not her home, but Song Qin¡¯s. The workers came in and out. It took an hour and a half before themotion ended. Lin Qingqian was dumbstruck the moment she walked into the bedroom. Pink curtains, pink dresser, pink chandelier. What was even more terrifying was that even the bed was pink. It was even a round bed with pink bed curtains hanging from it¡­ Song Qin stood beside her and said with starry eyes, ¡°Miss Qingqian, isn¡¯t the room I helped you decorate beautiful?¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at her. ¡°You like pink very much?¡± Song Qin nodded and looked at the room full of pink. She said happily, ¡°Pink is so beautiful!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indescribable. ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you wearing pink to work?¡± ¡°I want to! ¡± Song Qin raised her chin and frowned. ¡°Director Jiang won¡¯t let me. He said that I can¡¯t wear pink if I want to be his secretary.¡± As a result, she could only wear it at home. The problem was that she was too busy now and did not even have time to go home and change. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Take them away.¡± ¡°Ah.¡± Song Qin looked terrified. ¡°But if Director Jiang finds out that I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make a list for you. Buy ording to the list.¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted her. She would suffocate if she took a few more nces at the pink color in the room. Song Qin was obviously discouraged and replied with a muffled ¡°oh¡±. Lin Qingqian sent her the style and color of the things she wanted after doing her homework in advance. The studio called to say that someone was applying for a job, so she gave the key to Song Qin and went to the studio to deal with some matters. When Lin Qingqian rushed to the studio, Suisui and Su Ying were standing at the door of the guest room, looking in through the slightly ajar door. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± She walked over and suddenly spoke, scaring Suisui and Su Ying. Suisui patted her little heart andined, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that people can get scared to death?¡± ¡°I only know that I didn¡¯t do anything wrong so I don¡¯t have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door.¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡°Tsk!¡± Suisui rolled her eyes at her. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything wrong. I was just looking at a handsome man for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the half-closed door. ¡°Handsome guy? You jumped ¡°How is that possible!¡± Suisui retorted, her tone firm. ¡°I was born to be Lu Qinshang¡¯s woman, and I¡¯ll die as Lu Qinshang¡¯s ghost. My Brother Qinshang is so good. I won¡¯t jump ship!¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Lu Qinshang is good at everything except marrying you.¡± Suisui: ¡® Draw your sword! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t tease her anymore. ¡°What exactly happened?¡± Su Ying¡¯s gentle voice replied, ¡°Someone came to apply for the job just now. He¡¯s very handsome.¡± Lin Qingaian flicked her forehead. ¡®You love-struck fool, Quicklv go to work.¡± Su Ying rubbed her forehead and revealed an embarrassed smile. She turned around and went back to work. Lin Qingqian nced at Suisui who arrogantly raised her head and walked away. Lin Qingqian shook her head helplessly and pushed open the conference room door. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m the director of Shi Guang Studio, Lin Qingqian¡­¡± The man sitting on the sofa slowly turned around.. Chapter 129 - 129: Then Wouldn ‘t I Be Bullying You? Lin Qjngqian pursed her lips and smiled. Chapter 129: Then Wouldn ¡®t I Be Bullying You? Lin Qjngqian pursed her lips and smiled. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was instantly stunned. The man was handsome and had prominent facial features, fair skin, delicate eyebrows, and a refined temperament. Lin Qingqian had seen many men like Lu Qinshang, Gu Xici, and Jiang Yanshen, but she had never seen such a man before. The moment she saw him, she couldn¡¯t help but think of a saying¡ª a refinedd is like treasured jade. The man stood up and reached out his hand. His voice was gentle. ¡°Hello, Director Lin. I¡¯m Han Liubai.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook his hand politely. She then quickly let go of her grasp. ¡°Mr. Han, are you here to apply for a job?¡± Han Liubai nodded. ¡°This is my resume. Director Lin, you can take a look.¡± Lin Qingqian took the resume from him and sat down to read it. It was just a thin piece of paper. Other than the basic information, it also recorded his educational background, the ces where he had worked, and the awards he had won. ¡°Mr. Han is an overseas Chinese?¡± Lin Qingqian put down her resume and sized up the man in front of her again. Han Liubai pursed his lips. ¡°I was born in Lan City but I grew up overseas.¡± ¡°Thepanies you used to work for on your resume are all very famous brands. Other than that, you were part ofrge styling teams. Why did youe back to China? You even came to an unknown studio like mine to apply for a job?¡± Lin Qingqian was not overwhelmed by his gorgeous resume. Instead, she was puzzled why such an outstanding talent would want toe to her ce. Han Liubai smiled and exined unhurriedly, ¡°Although the development overseas is good, I¡¯m Chinese after all. I also want to start a family and a career in the ce where I was born. Moreover, everyone thinks that there are no good design studios in the country and no good designers. Hence, I want to break this perception.¡± A trace of surprise shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°1 didn¡¯t expect Mr. Han to be so patriotic.¡± Han Liubai smiled faintly. ¡°Director Lin¡¯s first project was styling Luo Tianxue in a cheongsam. Aren¡¯t you trying to prove to everyone that the country has beautiful culture?¡± Nowadays, everyone reveres foreign fashion brands and trendy brands, but they forget that we have our own local brands. In China¡¯s 5,000-year history, every dynasty has left behind countless treasures, such as the Hanfu and cheongsam. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She did not expect this man in front of her to be able to see through her thoughts. Initially, she asked her master to make a cheongsam for Luo Tianxue, but even Suisui did not guess the deeper meaning behind her actions. Seeing that she was not saying anything, Han Liubai continued slowly, ¡°Director Lin, I really like your understanding of styling. Even though Shi Guang Studio is not the best styling team right now, I believe that one day, we will definitely be a top styling team.¡± ¡°Thank you for thinking highly of Shi Guang, but¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian paused for a moment and said hesitantly, ¡°You also saw that our team only has three people now. The studio¡¯s funds are limited, so your sry¡­¡± ¡°Sry is not a problem.¡± Han Liubai said gently, ¡°You can follow the rate newbies in the country are getting.¡± ¡°Then wouldn¡¯t I be bullying you?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. Han Liubai¡¯s gaze was gentle. ¡°It isn¡¯t. I¡¯m just sacrificing myself for art.¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment before standing up and extending her hand. ¡°Then, I wee you to join Shi Guang Studio. I hope that we can work together happily in the future.¡± Han Liubai stood up and held her hand. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled.. Just as they let go, Suisui suddenly pushed open the door and hurriedly said, ¡°Qianqian,e out and take a look!¡± Chapter 130 - 130: Master Designer, God L Chapter 130: Master Designer, God L Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai walked out of the guest room together. Suisui brought her to Su Ying¡¯s desk and urged, ¡°Qianqian, look, look¡­¡¯ ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry¡­¡± Su Ying moved aside. When Lin Qingqian sat down and saw theputer page, her voice stopped abruptly. Suisui said excitedly, ¡°White is expanding their overseas market and ising to Lan City!¡± The brand White was a men¡¯s brand founded by a very young designer in Paris, simply known as L. It was very popr with young people. Most importantly, designer L had won global design awards for three consecutive years. Three consecutive awards was unprecedented in history. ¡°Master L.¡± Lin Qingqian stared intently at the announcement released on the brand White¡¯s official website on the screen. She couldn¡¯t believe that White woulde to Lan City one day. ¡°Qianqian, your idol brand ising to Lan City. Do you think Master L wille? If hees, won¡¯t you have a chance to see him?!¡± Suisui looked even more excited than Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and said faintly, ¡°How can it be so easy? He said that he didn¡¯t want to shift the focus of his career to this country.¡± She did not chase after celebrities, but she chased after trends. Designer L was her idol, the light she wanted to chase after. However, L was very mysterious and never appeared in public. The outside world knew very little about him. The only information she got was that he was Chinese. Suisui snorted. ¡°Who cares?¡± He paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Hey, the White brand definitely needs a spokesperson to enter Lan City. Do you think we¡¯ll have a chance to work with him if we can find a spokesperson for them?¡± If they could reach an agreement with White, would they have to worry that no male artistes woulde looking for them to work with? Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s easy to work with White? Or do you think you¡¯re the only one who has this idea?¡± Although Suisui¡¯s words tempted her with the chance to meet her idol L, she knew Shi Guang did not have the advantage inpeting with other famous styling teams. ¡°We¡¯re not famous now, but so what!¡± Suisui said confidently, ¡°We¡¯re young and motivated. More importantly, we have trump cards!¡± She elbowed the man standing beside her. ¡°Don¡¯t you agree?¡± Han Liubai was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment. He blinked and nodded with a smile. ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Han Liubai. She was really envious of their optimism. They really dared to think of anything. Seeing that she did not seem very confident, Han Liubai encouraged her gently, ¡°There¡¯s still hope if you give it a try. But there would be no hope if you don¡¯t even try.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Suisui echoed. She shook Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm and said, ¡°Qianqian, go and try. Don¡¯t you want to see your idol?¡± Lin Qingqian was dizzy from her shaking. ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Suisui and Su Ying high-fived to celebrate. They turned to look at the handsome man. ¡°By the way, I still don¡¯t know your name.¡± Han Liubai raised the corners of his mouth and didn¡¯t say anything. He looked at Lin Qingqian. She stood up and introduced, ¡°Let me introduce you to the new stylist of Shi Guang Studio¡ªMr. Han Liubai.¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Suisui couldn¡¯t help but jump up. ¡°Handsome! Handsome! With such a handsome man apanying me to work every day, I won¡¯t care if you stopped paying me!¡± Su Ying also revealed a shy smile. Han Liubai was at a loss by Suisui¡¯s exaggerated reaction. Suisui waspletely unaware and took the initiative to hold his hand. ¡°Hello, Xiaobai. I¡¯m Yan Sui. Everyone calls me Suisui.. I¡¯m the makeup artist and a fan of Lu Qinshang! ¡° Chapter 131 - 131: It’s Fine If Girls Are Spoiled Chapter 131: It¡¯s Fine If Girls Are Spoiled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Han Liubai: ¡°¡­I¡® Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and pulled Suisui to the side. ¡°You¡¯re scaring him. ¡± Suisui blinked. ¡°Really?¡± Han Liubai smiled like a gentleman. ¡°No, you¡¯re very cute.¡± Suisui raised her head proudly. ¡°Did you see that? Xiaobai said I¡¯m cute.¡± Han Liubai was speechless again. Lin Qingqian ignored her and introduced Su Ying to him. ¡°This is Su Ying. We call her Xiao Ying. She¡¯s in charge of the daily logistics of the studio.¡± Su Ying almost did not dare to look into his eyes. She only said in a gentle voice, ¡°Hello, Mr. Han.¡± Han Liubai said gently, ¡°We¡¯ll all be colleagues in the future. Just call me by my name.¡± Suisui: ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s better to call him Xiao Bai!¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her. ¡°Don¡¯t randomly give others nicknames.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Suisui retorted. ¡°It¡¯s weird to call him Liubai. If he¡¯s not Xiao Bai, he can¡¯t be called Xiao Liu, right?¡± Han Liu¡¯s white eyebrows twitched slightly, but he maintained a smile on his face. ¡°You guys should call me Xiao Bai.¡± His eyes were filled with resignation. Seeing that he didn¡¯t mind, Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll call you Xiao Bai from now on.¡± ¡°Qianqian, we recruited such a handsome man today. As the boss, shouldn¡¯t you treat us to a meal?¡± Suisui hooked her arm around Qingqian¡¯s neck and smiled naughtily. How could Lin Qingqian not know what she was thinking? It was purely because she was greedy. ¡°You guys can decide on the ce. I¡¯m going back to work first.¡± Before turning around, she thought of something and said to Su Ying, ¡°Xiao Ying, take Xiao Bai to his office.¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gentle gaze followed the slender figure. ¡°Hey, what are we eating tonight?¡± Suisui nudged his arm. ¡°Seafood? Japanese food? Thai food?¡± Han Liubai came back to his senses and retracted his gaze. His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. ¡°I¡¯m fine with anything. You can decide.¡± ¡°How generous!¡± Suisui liked him and started to take out her phone¡¯s food app to book a table. In the Haido private room. Suisui ordered crazily. She had no intention of saving money for Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian was worried that Han Liubai would not be used to spicy soup, so she specially asked Suisui to order the Twin Pot soup base. Suisui pouted. ¡°What Twin Pot? That¡¯s soulless!¡± Han Liubai said considerately, ¡°I can eat spicy food. It¡¯s fine.¡± Suisui threw a look at Han Liubai: Brother, Nice! Han Liubai smiled politely. Lin Qingqian took a sip of lemon water and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t give in to her too much. She¡¯ll easily go too far.¡± Han Liubai didn¡¯t care at all. ¡°It¡¯s fine if a girl is smiled.¡± Seeing that he didn¡¯t care, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything else. When the dishes were served, Han Liubai found a topic to talk to her about. ¡°Do you like L a lot?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and praised her idol generously. ¡°He is a very creative and talented designer. I believe that he will definitely be a very impressive artist. ¡± Han Liubai¡¯s clear eyes revealed traces of a smile. Lin Qingqian thought of something and turned her head to ask, ¡°Oh right, you also came back from Ennd. Have you seen L?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s thick eyshes trembled slightly. When he lowered his head, he covered the fleeting light in his eyes and said calmly, ¡°No.¡± A trace of disappointment shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°He¡¯s really very low-key.¡± The two of them did not speak for a moment. Suisui, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly said, ¡°Aiya, stop chatting. The dishes are all served.. Let¡¯s start!¡± Chapter 132 - 132: Qianqian, Tell Me, What’s Your Relationship With Him? Chapter 132: Qianqian, Tell Me, What¡¯s Your Rtionship With Him? The dinnersted for two hours. By the time it was over, it was already half past nine. Suisui was really too good at eating. She even added a few dishes along the way. As the only man, Han Liubai helped them cook, take seasonings, and pour drinks like a gentleman. The four of them did not drive so Suisui and Su Ying took a taxi and left first. Han Liubai said like a gentleman, ¡°Let me send you home.¡± Lin Qingqian politely declined his good intentions. ¡°No need, it¡¯s only a short taxi ride.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very unsafe for a girl to take a taxi alone at night, ¡± Han Liubai said. Lin Qingqian thought that perhaps he had lived overseas for too long and was used to the English gentleman¡¯s habits. Hence, it was not good to reject his good intentions. Han Liubai hailed an empty cab and opened the door for her. Lin Qingqian got into the car and they drove towards her apartment. Han Liubai did not say much along the way. When the car stopped downstairs, he got out of the car and opened the door for her. Lin Qingqian bade him farewell and went upstairs. Han Liubai was not in a hurry to leave. He stood downstairs and quietly looked at the building standing in the dark. The moonlight shone on him, entuating his deity-like appearance. It was only when the chauffeur asked him if he was leaving that he came back to his senses and got into the car. Lin Qingqian took the key to open the door, turned on the lights, and changed her shoes. When she turned around, she was shocked. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, are you crazy?¡± A man wearing a dark blue shirt was sitting on the sofa. His suit was ced beside him, and when he turned around, there was a gloomy aura between his eyebrows. Lin umgn walKea a few steps ana reanzea that there was no one else In the house other than him. Needless to say, Song Qin must have given him the key. ¡°Who is he?¡± The man¡¯s tightly pursed thin lips rxed, and his voice was tense and cold. Lin Qingqian was stunned for two seconds before she realized that he was talking about Han Liubai. ¡°Does it have anything to do with you?¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and walked towards her with his long legs. His voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. ¡°How far have you progressed with him?¡± Lin Qingqian was frightened by his aura, but she refused to lower her head and said stubbornly, ¡°Why should I tell you?¡± Jiang Yanshen stood in front of her, his tall figurepletely enveloping her. His dark eyes stared at her intently. ¡°No rtions?¡± The man¡¯s oppressive aura made Lin Qingqian very ufortable, and she subconsciously wanted to move back. She had just taken a step back when the man¡¯s hand grabbed her slender waist. He lowered his head and breathed warm air into her ear. His voice was cold and terrifying. ¡°Qianqian, tell me, what¡¯s your rtionship with him?¡± The bones in Lin Qingqian¡¯s waist seemed to be about to break. She turned her head and met his cold eyes, and she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. ¡°He¡¯s a new stylist hired by my studio. He was kind enough to send me back after dinner tonight. Are you satisfied now?¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard her words, his tightly furrowed brows suddenly rxed. He also let go of her waist and said without rhyme or reason, ¡°Let¡¯s eat. ¡± Lin Qingqian: She turned around and saw him walking to the dining table and sitting down. There were three dishes and a soup on the dining table. At this moment, it was already cold. Had he been waiting for her toe back for dinner? This thought emerged from the bottom of her heart. She walked to the dining table. ¡°Did you make all this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand that was picking up his chopsticks froze for a second, and he hummed indifferently without changing his expression. Lin Qingqian pointed at the rubbish bin.. ¡°Didn¡¯t Song Qin tell you how to destroy evidence and throw the takeout food boxes away? Chapter 133 - 133: What Could Be More Important Than Your Own Life? Chapter 133: What Could Be More Important Than Your Own Life? The atmosphere became awkward. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face was a little embarrassed for the first time. The tips of his ears seemed to be red. He coughed lightly. ¡°I haven¡¯t had dinner.¡± Lin Qingqian realized that ever since the divorce, this Dog of a man had refreshed her understanding of him again and again. ¡°If you want to eat, eat it yourself. I¡¯ve already eaten.¡± She turned around and was about to enter the bedroom. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were glued to her body as he said impatiently, ¡°You sold my phone number to another woman.¡± Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at him with an indifferent expression. ¡°So? Do you want to sue me or sell my phone number to another man? It¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°I just want to say, don¡¯t do this next time.¡± He pursed his thin lips and lowered his eyes, looking helpless. Lin Qingqian: After standing there for a few seconds, she finally walked to the dining table and pulled out a chair to sit down. She then poured herself a ss of water. ¡°The hotpot tonight was very salty. I¡¯ll drink some water.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. When he lowered his head, his thin lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. The food was already cold. He had no appetite after a few bites, so he put down his chopsticks and poured away the rest of the food. When he wanted to wash the dishes, he was stopped by Lin Qingqian. ¡°I don¡¯t want Song Qin to send another full set of pink cutlery tomorrow.¡± Lin Qingqian cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. Jiang Yanshen stood at the door, his slender body leaning against the ss door. His ck eyes burned as he looked at her slender figure, and there was a rare sense of calmness in his heart. Lin Qingqian turned off the tap and heard the man¡¯s low and hoarse voice behind her. ¡°What positions is your studio stillcking in?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± Lin Qingqian replied coldly. ¡°I can help.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at him. ¡°Are you done? You¡¯ve paid for everything and eaten. Shouldn¡¯t you be leaving now?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® He caught the impatience in her eyes and thought she might still be angry due to the takeaway. It was Song Qin¡¯s bad idea. She said that women would be very touched if they saw their men cooking, but it backfired. ¡°I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood still after saying that. Lin Qingqian raised her chin, her meaning clear. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°You¡¯re not sending me off?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, we¡¯re divorced. Do you think I¡¯ll still hug your arm and be reluctant to part with you like before?¡± In the past, every time he had to go on a business trip, he would leave for a month or two. Every time, Lin Qingqian would be reluctant and shamelessly hug his arm without letting go. She would only let him go when he was on the verge of losing his temper. But now¡­ she seemed to be toozy to even look at him. Thinking of this, Jiang Yanshen still felt a little ufortable, but his exquisite facial features didn¡¯t show it. He turned around and walked to the door. Lin Qingqian, who was standing in the kitchen, heard the sound of the door closing. She then sighed inexplicably and slowly leaned against the counter. It wasn¡¯t that she wanted to have a bad attitude towards Jiang Yanshen, but¡­ She had seen him lose control with her own eyes and knew that he had mania and violent tendencies. It was impossible to say that she was not afraid. In today¡¯s society, the word ¡°domestic violence¡± was a topic of discussion for women. In the past, it was fine if she was ignorant and fearless. Now that she had already divorced Jiang Yanshen and knew about his illness, she felt emotional and sympathized with what he had experienced since young. However, she was far from being noble. It wouldn¡¯t be possible for her to return to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side without a care and obediently became the porcin doll he needed. What could be more important than your own life? Chapter 134 - 134: Doctor Shen, I Think I Know How Addiction Feels Now Chapter 134: Doctor Shen, I Think I Know How Addiction Feels Now Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In Shen Zhiwei¡¯s counseling office. Shen Zhiwei turned off herputer and was about to get off work when the office door was pushed open. The man threw his coat onto the sofa, walked to the recliner andy down. The elegant smile on Shen Zhiwei¡¯s lips froze. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m off work.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at the ceiling without saying a word. Shen Zhiwei pinched the space between her eyebrows and said in a clear voice, ¡°Don¡¯t pretend. I know you¡¯re not sick.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her, his thin lips curling up. ¡°My heart is very ufortable. ¡± Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°If your heart feels ufortable, you should go to the Cardiology Department.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes. ¡°Doctor Shen, I think I know how addiction feels now.¡± Shen Zhiwei knew that there was no hope for her to get off work. She resigned herself to fate and sat down again. She picked up a fountain pen and twirled it between her fair fingers. She chatted with him. ¡°I told you that you can¡¯t drink. Alcohol will stimte your brain¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her from the corner of his eye. He pursed his thin lips and said faintly, ¡°Lin Qingqian.¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned. It took her ten seconds to realize that he hade to look for her in the middle of the night for rtionship counseling! Jiang Yanshen looked at the ceiling and didn¡¯t see Shen Zhiwei¡¯s expression that was about to shatter. He muttered to himself, ¡°In the past, I didn¡¯t think that she was very good. I wouldn¡¯t think too much if I didn¡¯t see her. I only felt that since she¡¯s my wife, I should give her everything she needs ande back to see her asionally. But now¡­ I want to see her all the time. If I don¡¯t see her, I¡¯ll want to know what she¡¯s doing! I also like to see her get angry with me! Tonight, I saw a man walk her home. I even wanted to lock her up. I wanted to lock her in her room so that she would only look at me and talk to me.¡± Shen Zhiwei: ¡°¡­ If he weren¡¯t her patient, she would have scolded him for being cheap! As an experienced and professional psychiatrist, Shen Zhiwei said gently, ¡°Director Jiang, you¡¯ve only developed an emotional dependence on Ms. Lin unknowingly. You¡¯re very possessive, but I suggest you control your possessiveness to prevent your rtionship with Ms. Lin from worsening.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her and caught a hint of disdain in her eyes. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, ¡°Stop pretending. You¡¯re also scolding me for being cheap in your heart.¡± On the way here, he called Lu Qinshang. In the end, he was mercilessly mocked and ridiculed by Lu Qinshang, who said that he was being cheap too. Shen Zhiwei: ¡® ¡®I¡¯m not, I¡¯m not, you¡¯re talking nonsense! I¡¯m a professional!¡¯ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gazended on the light. Perhaps because the intense light stimted his pupils, the corners of his eyes turned red. He slowly closed his eyes, his voice sounding cold and lonely in the quiet night. ¡°I don¡¯t know when I got addicted to Lin Qingqian, but by the time I found out, I couldn¡¯t stop.¡± His long eyshes trembled slightly. When they slowly fell, they cast a shadow under the corner of his eyes and covered the redness in the corner of his eyes¡­ Shen Zhiwei did not say anything. She just looked at the man who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed. Others might not understand why he suddenly fell in love with Lin Qingqian, but she knew very well that all of this was inevitable. Lin Qingqian used seven years to imprint her image in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart before leaving decisively. In Jiang Yanshen¡¯s knowledge, no matter where he was or what he was doing, he would be able to see a light for him when he returned home. He was already used to this and even felt that it was natural. However, one day, when he returned home and realized that themp had gone out, he could not ept it. However, when themp went out, the silhouette in his heart lit up. Perhaps Lin Qingqian would never know what she had left in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart, let alone how precious her love meant to Jiang Yanshen.. Chapter 135 - 135: Are You Worried About the Funds? Chapter 135: Are You Worried About the Funds? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The next morning, when Lin Qingqian arrived at the studio, Su Ying was already there. Not only did she wipe the table and mop the floor, but she also made coffee for her. Lin Qingqian thanked her and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to clean the tables and mop the floor in the future. The cleaning auntie will do it.¡± Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°Anyway, I came early and had nothing to do, so I did it to pass time. This way, we can save money on hiring a cleaner.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly and picked up her coffee. ¡°Then I¡¯ll pay you extra.¡± Su Ying was afraid that she would misunderstand and hurriedly exined, ¡°Sister Qingqian, I didn¡¯t do this to ask you to increase my sry.¡± ¡°I know, but I can¡¯t let you do two people¡¯s work and only get one person¡¯s sry.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Su Ying smiled embarrassedly, ¡°Sister Qingqian, you¡¯re too good to me. I¡¯m very happy here, even if I have to mop the floor.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. Su Ying thought of something and ran out for a while before running in with a document in her hand. ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯ve received news that the brand White is reallying to Lan City. Moreover, they¡¯re also looking for a spokesperson and partner.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the cup, took the documents and flipped through them. ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°We have a chat group for assistants. If there¡¯s any news, we¡¯ll share amongst the group,¡± Su Ying replied. She had a weak personality and usually did not offend anyone, so everyone liked her and would tell her anything. Lin Qingqian looked up at her. ¡°You collected so much information in such a short time. You must not have rested wellst night. I¡¯ll give you half a day off in the afternoon so that you can go back and rest.¡± ¡°No need, Sister Qingqian. I¡¯m not tired at all.¡± ¡°This is your superior¡¯s order.¡± Lin Qingqian said in a serious tone. Su Ying could not refuse anymore, ¡°Thank you, Sister Qingqian. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Just as she left, Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. He said gently, ¡°Good morning, Director Lin.¡± ¡°Good morning, Xiao Bai.¡± After Lin Qingqian greeted him, she let him in and handed him the documents in her hand. ¡°What do you think?¡± Han Liubai took the document and flipped to the first page. He raised his eyebrows and looked up at her. ¡°Have you decided to work with White?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°You said a lot yesterday. There¡¯s still hope if we try. If we don¡¯t even try, then there¡¯s really no hope at all.¡± Han Liubai lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. He closed the document and said in a clear voice, ¡°As far as I know, although White doesn¡¯t have a long history, it now dominates the entire young market. Their requirements for partners must be very harsh. With our current development, we are notpetitive at all.¡± ¡°You mean¡­¡± Lin Qingqian wanted to say something but hesitated. ¡°Shi Guang is still an independent enterprise. Between a mature operatingpany and a small workshop, if you were White¡¯s decision-maker, who would you choose?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s voice was very gentle, but the questions he pointed out were very sharp. Lin Qingqian also knew that with Shi Guang Studio¡¯s current situation, she could notpete with other mature styling teams at all. However, if she wanted to be a bigpany, she had to have a certain amount of registered funds. This sum of money must not be small. After all, capital information could be found online. If the funds were too little, it would make the brands question their ability. From the looks of it, if she wanted to work with White, the first thing she had to solve was the funding problem. Han Liubai saw that she was frowning and did not speak.. He asked, ¡°Are you worried about the funding?¡± Chapter 136 - 136: It’s Better to Be Foolish and Rich Chapter 136: It¡¯s Better to Be Foolish and Rich Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°Leave this matter to me. You guys can work in peace. ¡± Han Liubai nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s any problems, let me know. I¡¯ll see if I can help.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. After Han Liubai left, Lin Qingqian picked up her phone and opened her WeChat friend list. She definitely could not fork out such arge sum of money, but she could find someone to invest it. It was best if he was stupid and rich. Her fair fingertips stopped at the number one handsome man in Lan City as she sent a message¡ª Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Are you free tonight, Superstar Lu? I¡¯ll treat you to a drink What Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know was that when Lu Qinshang received the WeChat message, he happened to be waiting by the pool to shoot an advertisement. His hand trembled and his cell phone almost fell into the pool. The next second, he immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Jiang Yanshen. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Ah Yan, I swear to God that I¡¯m innocent with Lin Qingqian. Even if she likes me, I won¡¯t submit to her. Two minutester, Jiang Yanshen replied: Agree to her request. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re trying to catch the ¡°adulterer¡± in bed? Ah Yan, you can¡¯t do that. I¡¯m a celebrity. I can¡¯t have scandals. My female fans and loyal supporters will jump off the building. This time, Jiang Yanshen replied very quickly with one word¡ªscram. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: 8 p.m. 1942 Bar. When Lin Qingqian arrived, Lu Qinshang had yet to reach. The attendant respectfully brought her to the private room that Lu Qinshang often used and asked her what she wanted to drink. Lin Qingqian asked for a cocktail. The attendant went down and quickly brought in a cocktail before leaving. After waiting for half an hour, the door of the private room was finally pushed open. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I just finished the interview. Look, I came without removing my makeup.¡± Lu Qinshang exined with a cheeky smile and walked to the sofa to sit down. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°It¡¯s alright, I know Superstar Lu is very busy.¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t smile at me. I¡¯ll panic if you smile at me.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® What kind of bad habit is this? If I don¡¯t smile at you, am I supposed to cry upon seeing you? Forget it. Seeing that he was thepany¡¯s future sugar daddy, she would not argue with him. ¡°Order whatever you want to drink. It¡¯s my treat tonight.¡± Lin Qingqian handed him the menu. Lu Qinshang looked at the menu and then at her. He put away the smile on his face, coughed lightly, and said earnestly, ¡°I know I¡¯m handsome, good at acting, good at singing, and talented. Sometimes, it¡¯s hard for one to not be tempted. ¡± Lin Qingqian, who had picked up her cocktail: ¡®I???¡± Seeing that she still didn¡¯t understand, Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but be more straightforward. ¡°I don¡¯t like to eat grass beside my nest, especially if it¡¯s the divorced type. My father won¡¯t agree either.¡± Lin Qingqian: She finally understood what this fellow was thinking. ¡°What a coincidence. I don¡¯t like people who have silkworms in their heads either.¡± Lu Qinshang was dumbfounded. ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Retard.¡± Lu Qinshang: Lin Qingqian ordered the wine and the fruit tter. After everyone was sent in, she drank two mouthfuls with him before getting to the point. ¡°Do you know White?¡± Lu Qinshang drank a ss of wine gloomily after being called a retard. He said emotionally, ¡°I know. Isn¡¯t it just a brand from overseas? It¡¯s been very popr recently.¡± Lin Qingqian poured him a ss of wine. ¡°They¡¯re going to enter Lan City. They¡¯ll be finding a spokesperson and a suitable styling team to work with.¡± Lu Qinshang immediately understood what she meant. ¡°Well, my manager seemed to have said that she would snatch this resource.. When the timees, I¡¯ll rmend you to them¡­¡± Chapter 137 - 137: Never Remarry! Chapter 137: Never Remarry! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as she exined, ¡°What I mean is, we can work together to reach a win-win oue.¡± Lu Qinshang tilted his head and looked at her in confusion. ¡°Work together?¡± ¡°You want to be White¡¯s spokesperson, while I want their partnership. But, I¡¯m short of funds for the time being!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Lu Qinshang almost spat out the wine in his mouth. ¡°So you want me to be a sucker!¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth deepened. ¡°You can¡¯t say that. We¡¯re partners in the first ce. If you invest in Shi Guang Studio and get the endorsement, won¡¯t it be a win-win for the both of us?!¡± ¡°Lin Qingqian, why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so smart in the past?¡± Lu Qinshang was not stupid. How could he be led astray by her so easily? ¡°Did you deliberately pretend to be brainless in the past?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°When did I say that I¡¯m brainless? It¡¯s you guys who think that because I came from the countryside, I don¡¯t know anything. You think that I¡¯m stupid just because I did something embarrassing.¡± Lu Qinshang: Thinking about it carefully, that was indeed the case. When she first came to Lan City, she was out of ce in the big city and had never eaten pomegranates, so she bit into the pomegranate Jiang Yanshen gave her. She had never eaten hotpot before, so when they ate hotpot together, she took the raw mushroom and ate it directly. Therefore, Jiang Yunshen and himself felt that she was just a silly girl. Seeing that he didn¡¯t speak, Lin Qingqian continued, ¡°You know my ability. If you invest in me, you definitely won¡¯t lose anything.¡± Lu Qinshang narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively, ¡°How much do you want me to invest?¡± Lin Qing smiled faintly. ¡°Not much. I¡¯ll just register apany worth 20 million.¡¯ ¡°Pfft!¡± This time, he really spat it out. His eyes widened. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you don¡¯t have to pay a single cent. Do you really take me for a fool?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was heavy as she sighed slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t I just get a divorce and leave with nothing? Although the studio has earned some money, I still have to pay rent and electricity bills, as well as pay Suisui¡¯s sry. I can¡¯t put in any more funds.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t start apany.¡± Lu Qinshang wiped his mouth and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t it good for you to set up a small studio to y with first? Anyway, you¡¯ll remarry Ah Yan sooner orter¡­ Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression turn visibly cold. Lin Qingqian handed him the n in her bag. ¡°This is the coboration n. You can take a look at the shareholder dividends I¡¯m here today as the director of Shi Guang Studio. Let¡¯s not talk about personal rtionships. Besides, Jiang Yanshen and I¡­¡± She paused, and when she spoke again, it was clear and firm. ¡°Will never remarry!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the private room was pushed open. Lin Qingqian looked up and was stunned when she saw the man walking in. Jiang Yanshen walked in with his long legs and wearing a ck suit. He looked at her with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her. Lin Qingqian subconsciously avoided his gaze and red fiercely at Lu Qinshang. She didn¡¯t need to think to know that it was this scammer who leaked the information! Lu Qinshang shrugged innocently. ¡®By all conscience, I only told him that you asked me out. I didn¡¯t tell him the time and ce.¡¯ Lin Qingqian red at him. ¡°Since Mr. Lu has an appointment, I¡¯ll¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen had already sat down beside her, and the sofa sank further. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Continue¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips slightly, his voice gentle as if he didn¡¯t hear what she had just said. He picked up Lin Qingqian¡¯s wine ss and took a sip.. Chapter 138 - 138: Dog of a Man, What Do You Know?! Chapter 138: Dog of a Man, What Do You Know?! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian: No matter how stupid Lu Qinshang was, he knew that if he took out this money, there was no need to talk about the role of being the spokesperson of White. He would have to retire immediately and return home to carry on the family line. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I used all my money to open a hotpot restaurant recently. I really can¡¯t fork out 20 million.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Couldn¡¯t he find a more sincere excuse? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes swept past Lu Qinshang in satisfaction. His gazended on Lin Qingqian¡¯s small face. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of coaxing. ¡°Qianqian, he doesn¡¯t have as much money as me. Let me invest in this project, okay?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was cold as she rejected without thinking. Jiang Yanshen held the cup with his fingers and lowered his posture as he continued to coax her. ¡°I¡¯ll only invest money. I won¡¯t interfere with anything else. You can decide on the dividends.¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian refused firmly. ¡°Since Mr. Lu is unwilling to invest, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± She got up to leave. Jiang Yanshen then grabbed her wrist and caressed it with his thumb. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Qianqian, are you still angry with me for what happenedst night?¡± ¡®Last night?¡¯ What happenedst night? Lu Qinshang¡¯s eyes lit up immediately. He stared at them with gossipy eyes, waiting for them to continue. Jiang Yanshen shot a cold gaze over. Lu Qinshang felt a chill down his spine and stood up abruptly. ¡°I need to pee. You guys chat.¡± With that, he left to pee. ¡°I was wrongst night. I shouldn¡¯t have lied to you. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± A low and hoarse voice slowly sounded, apologizing sincerely. After all, Dr. Shen had saidst night that women hated lying the most, but they were soft-hearted. As long as he was willing to lower himself and apologize properly, Qianqian would forgive him. Lin Qingqian wanted to pry his fingers away, but his fingers were as firm as steel, so she could only give up. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I didn¡¯t ept your investment not because I was angry about what happenedst night, but because if there are no idents, Shi Guang Studio will be the main focus for the rest of my life. Do you understand?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and met her eyes. The light in his dark eyes dimmed. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, ¡°I understand.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could heave a sigh of relief, she heard the man¡¯s voice again. ¡°I¡¯ll get Song Qin to send you a proposal tomorrow. Everything will be done ording to the contract.¡± Dog of a man, what do you know! ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you still don¡¯t understand! I can ept anyone¡¯s investment, but I won¡¯t ept yours.¡± The man¡¯s exquisite face suddenly turned cold. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed, and his voice was faint. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because I don¡¯t want to owe you anything.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was cold as she looked at him quietly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I won¡¯t turn back and I won¡¯t remarry you, especially when I¡¯ve just found out about your condition.¡± If her first sentence made Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart turn cold, thetter sentence was undoubtedly like a knife stabbing into his heart. It was so painful that he didn¡¯t even have the strength to hold her wrist. ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary woman. If I like someone, I¡¯ll pursue them without caring about my own safety. If I don¡¯t love them, I¡¯ll be determined not to turn back. Besides¡ª¡± She took a deep breath. As Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened, she said word by word, ¡°I can¡¯t help but wonder if your emotions are even stable now. Which sentence will make you lose control? What should I do when you lose control and hurt me¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen slowly let go of her hand. In the end, it hung weakly by his side, and the light in his eyespletely disappeared. There was only darkness.. Chapter 139 - 139: You Don ‘t Understand… She’s Really Afraid of Me Chapter 139: You Don ¡®t Understand¡­ She¡¯s Really Afraid of Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to hurt him, but she didn¡¯t want to leave any hope for him to daydream. She wouldn¡¯t turn back, nor did she dare to. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to get to where she was today. She didn¡¯t want to return to being the Lin Qingqian of the past. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyshes cast a deep shadow under his eyes. His grip on the cup tightened, and his veins popped out. He seemed to be wrapped in ayer of ice and snow, making it impossible for anyone to approach him. Lin Qingqian moved her toes and turned to leave. She had just taken two steps when Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tense voice came from behind. One couldn¡¯t tell his emotions¡ª ¡°Lin Qingqian, actually, you¡¯ve never truly loved me. You were just trapped in the love you thought you had for me.¡± Her slender body froze. After a moment of silence, she said calmly, ¡°Perhaps.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at the back view of her and the burning emotions in his ck eyes flowed out without any fear. Lu Qinshang said that he was going to pee, but he did not go far. He leaned against the door of the private room and heard their conversation clearly. When Lin Qingqian opened the door of the private room, he almost fell to the ground. Thinking of the heartless words she had said to Ah Yan, he snorted angrily and turned his head. From the corner of his eye, he wrote: Lin Qingqian, you went overboard! Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t be bothered to argue with him and left. Lu Qinshang walked into the private room and patted his shoulder tofort him. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You don¡¯t need a heartless woman like Lin Qingqian. I¡¯ll find you a better one in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen held the cup tightly and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t invest in her. I¡¯ll order her to be cklistedter and make her unable to survive in this industry¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up and stared at him with a sinister gaze. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare cklist her! His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth? Lu Qinshang was stunned. When he regained his senses, he stammered, ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m just venting your anger for you!¡± ¡°No need!¡± Jiang Yanshen said coldly. ¡°You will invest in her, and I¡¯ll add another 30 million.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s lips twitched. ¡°Ah Yan, do you have to do this? She doesn¡¯t even want¡­¡± When he received Jiang Yanshen¡¯s murderous gaze, his voice stopped abruptly. ¡°Fine! Consider it as me talking too much. You¡¯re stupid and rich so you don¡¯t care. So, why should I care?!¡± Jiang Yanshen finished the cocktail in his ss in one gulp. The corners of his mouth were wet as he let out a long breath and exhaled. ¡°You don¡¯t understand¡­ She¡¯s really afraid of me.¡± As for me, I was afraid that one day she would really look at me with fear in her eyes. The next day, Lu Qinshang and his manager, Sister Chan, came to look for her with the contract. When Lin Qingqian saw that the contract had increased by 30 million yuan, she slowly frowned. ¡°Jiang Yanshen asked you toe?¡± ¡°I wanted toe myself.¡± Lu Qinshang leaned back in his chair and said in azy tone, ¡°I thought about it carefullyst night. Anyway, I have already invested in a lot of industries except yours. Besides, I believe in your ability to earn money.¡± ¡°But let me make it clear first. You have to recover the capital within a year. Otherwise, I¡¯ll withdraw my investment immediately.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him with her clear eyes and saw that he didn¡¯t look like he was lying. Coupled with the fact that she had stabbed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heartst night, he wouldn¡¯t be so shameless as to rush to give her money. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you lose money.¡± The two of them discussed the details and confirmed everything. After finalizing the contract, they signed it. Next, it was up to Lin Qingqian. She needed to gather the information needed to register thepany and prepare all the cooperation proposals before the person-in-charge of White came to Lan City. A month passed. This month, Lin Qingqian was very busy. Every day, she woke up earlier than a chicken and sleptter than a dog. She was tired but at ease. And in this month, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen again. She didn¡¯t even hear any news about him.. Chapter 140 - 140: Has Your Director Returned This Time? Chapter 140: Has Your Director Returned This Time? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Autumn had already passed when White¡¯s representative arrived in Lan City. The streets were paved with golden maple leaves, and pedestrians were wearing thick coats and walking in a hurry. Lin Qingqian also changed from a thin windbreaker to a woolen coat. She wore ck boots and met the person-in-charge at the location of White¡¯s gship store in the CBD¡ªXu Wan. ¡°Hello, Miss Xu. I¡¯m the person-in-charge of Shi Guang Studio, Lin Qingqian. We spoke on the phone previously.¡± Lin Qingqian went forward and introduced herself generously, but she was actually panicking inside. Xu Wan turned to look at her and smiled, ¡°Hello, Director Lin.¡± ¡°Miss Xu, I wonder if you¡¯ve seen the proposal I sent to your email?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. ¡°If not, I have the most recently modified proposal here. I hope you can take a look.¡± Xu Wan did not ept her proposal. Her gazended on the shop that was being renovated and she asked softly, ¡°CEO Lin, what style do you think White¡¯s first store in Lan City should be renovated in?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect her to ask such a question. ¡°Is this a test before the cooperation?¡± Xu Wan nodded. ¡°Our President said that he will give priority to whoever can give him a satisfactory suggestion.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard that it was Designer L¡¯s intention, she immediately didn¡¯t find it strange. That genius designer would always have different thoughts from ordinary people. Lin Qingqian walked into the shop and looked around. The entire shop was more than 200 square meters wide so it was obvious that they valued their first specialty shop in Lan City. She stood there in silence for a moment before turning around and saying, ¡°The renovation style doesn¡¯t have to be European or American. The tone can be mainly Chinese and the shop can be divided into two areas.¡± ¡°One area can have the theme of green bamboo, where the clothes disyed are mainly styles that are low-key and introverted. On the other hand, the other area can have the theme of red plums where you can show off the colorful and bold clothes.¡± Xu Wan¡¯s almond-shaped eyes shed with surprise. If she hadn¡¯t heard it with her own ears, she wouldn¡¯t have believed that there was someone in this world who had the same thoughts as her Director. It was simply the same. Seeing that she didn¡¯t speak, Lin Qingqian was a little hesitant. ¡°Is my suggestion unsuitable?¡± Xu Wan came back to her senses and smiled faintly. ¡°Director Lin, your idea is very unique. Why did you think of the theme of green bamboo and red plums? ¡°I¡¯ve seen all of L¡¯s design works and realized that he likes to incorporate Chinese elements like bamboo and red plums into his works.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes lit up unconsciously when she mentioned her idol. ¡°I guess he should like Chinese style very much.¡± Xu Wan did not deny it. That person really loved Chinese style from the bottom of his heart. ¡°Director Lin, your suggestion is very interesting. I will definitely tell him about it and we will also look at this proposal very carefully. As for the oue, we still have to wait for the Director¡¯s decision. Once decided, we will announce the oue via the official website.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that such a thing was not something that a secretary like her could decide on. She hesitated for a moment and could not help but ask, ¡°May I ask if your Director has returned to the country this time?¡± Xu Wan¡¯s eyes shed and she shook her head. ¡°Our President likes peace. Even if he returns to the country, he won¡¯t meet anyone.¡± A trace of disappointment shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°Sorry for troubling you. I shall not disturb you anymore.¡± Xu Wan nodded and watched her slender figure disappear behind the silver lift door. She turned around and got onto the esctor to the cafe on the first floor. There was only one customer in the cafe at the moment. She walked over and handed the proposal over respectfully. ¡°Director, this is the proposal Director Lin handed over.¡± The man put down his coffee cup and looked up with a smile. He said in a clear voice, ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve worked hard.¡± This smile revived all things, and the withered tree returned to spring, making one¡¯s mind sway.. Chapter 141 - 141: I Think Very Highly Of Your Future Chapter 141: I Think Very Highly Of Your Future Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions There were many people in the entertainment industry who wanted to work with White, and there was nock of top-notch styling teams among them. They were more experienced and professional than Shi Guang Studio. There had been no news for Lin Qingqian since she saw Xu Wan that day. There was only one group notification from White in thepany¡¯s email. The results will be announced on the official website next Monday. Lin Qingqian¡¯s uneasy moodsted until Monday. She woke up early in the morning and arrived at the office. Su Ying, Suisui, Han Liubai, and a few new employees were all here. Everyone was very nervous and looking forward to the results. After all, this was the first coboration since the establishment of thepany. If it seeded, it would be much easier to work with male artists in the industry in the future. Su Ying was so nervous that her coffee cup shattered when she made coffee. Suisui, on the other hand, was not nervous. She was justining about whether the President of White was retarded. He could have just announced the results long ago. Why did he have to torture them so mysteriously? Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything, but her fair fingers involuntarily clenched into fists. Her nails dug into her palms to calm herself down. She could not stay calm like Su Ying or Suisui. After all, she was now the pir of the entirepany. Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Han Liubai said in a gentle voice, ¡°Everyone, there¡¯s no need to be so nervous. As long as our proposal is good enough, I believe the other party will definitely choose to cooperate with us.¡± Suisui pouted. ¡°Of course, our proposal is the best. I¡¯m just afraid that he¡¯s brainless.¡± Han Liubai: ¡°¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian red at her. ¡°Suisui¡­¡± Suisui stuck out her pink tongue. ¡°Alright, your idol isn¡¯t brainless!¡± Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and didn¡¯t say anything. Her gazended back on theputer in front of her. Han Liubai nced at her side profile with his clear eyes. When the clock on the wall turned to 12, Suisui hurriedly urged, ¡°Quick, quick, quick. It¡¯s nine o¡¯clock. Hurry up and see if the official website has issued the notice. ¡± Su Ying hurriedly opened the webpage and opened White¡¯s official website. Then, she clicked on the announcement column. It was about White¡¯s coboration with¡ªShi Guang Studio. ¡°We did it!¡± Suisui was the first to react. She turned around and hugged Lin Qingqian. ¡°Qianqian, we did it. We can borrow clothes from a big brand in the future!!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and patted her back. ¡°You look even more excited than me.¡± Suisui let go of her and said proudly, ¡°Of course. This way, my Qinshang will have White¡¯s clothes to wear in the future. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Han Liubai looked at her gently. ¡°Congrattions, Director Lin.¡± ¡°Thank you, but I still like it when you call me Qingqian.¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Before they could say anything else, her cell phone suddenly rang. Lin Qingqian walked to an empty corner to answer the call. The others were all surrounding Su Ying¡¯s desk and looking at the announcement excitedly. ¡°Hello, Secretary Xu.¡± ¡°I believe you¡¯ve already seen the notice on the official website. Congrattions, Director Lin.¡± Xu Wan¡¯s voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Qingqian: ¡°My thanks to you and White for trusting Shi Guang.¡± ¡°Our President likes your suggestion very much and thinks very highly of your future, so remember to attend the opening ceremony of White¡¯s first specialty store in Lan City.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll definitely be there on time.¡± She was probably so happy that she ignored Xu Wan¡¯s words of ¡°I think very highly of your future¡± and not Shi Guang¡¯s future. On this day, the official Weibo ount of Shi Guang Studio announced two things.. Chapter 142 - 142: Lan City’s Most Handsome Man: Ah Yan, Ah Yan, Your Wall Has Collapsed!! Chapter 142: Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome Man: Ah Yan, Ah Yan, Your Wall Has Copsed!! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The first thing was to announce that Shi Guang Studio was officially established as apany and that there was a new investor¡ªLu Qinshang. They would provide better services to the investors in the future. Lu Qinshang reposted this Weibo post with a smug expression. Fans also rushed over to congratte her. The Maple Leaves even teased their idol for being an investor even though he was clearly there for styling at first. As expected of someone from a wealthy family. If he didn¡¯t work hard, he would have to go home and inherit billions of assets. The second was to announce a partnership with the White brand. The news went viral all over the inte. Even those who weren¡¯t in the fashion industry knew the brand White. Although thepany was founded overseas, its main style had always been Chinese and was loved by many young people. Shi Guang Studio was actually able to work together with White. This made everyone¡¯s jaws drop. There were some conspiracy theories on Weibo, guessing that it was because Lu Qinshang had invested in Shi Guang. Just wait and see. Later, White would announce that Lu Qinshang was the spokesperson of Greater China. In the end, White directly announced that the spokesperson was another young prodigy in the industry, Sheng Yan. At the same time, he tagged Shi Guang¡¯s official Weibo and Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo to express his joy in working together. Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans all jumped out to p the haters¡¯ faces. As for not getting the role of the brand ambassador of White, the Maple Leaves did not mind at all. After all, their idol had a lot of endorsements on him already. Furthermore, their idol was an investor of Shi Guang Studio. Even if he did not have any endorsements, he would notck White¡¯s clothes to wear. When the entire Inte was cheering, only Luo Tianxue was unhappy. She reposted on Weibo: Why didn¡¯t you ask me to invest? I have money too. I want to invest¡­ In less than five minutes, #Luo Tianxue is stupid and rich# became a trending topic. Luo Tianxue: Brother Ming, the manager: ¡® Lin Qingqian was speechless when she saw the trending searches. She couldn¡¯t help butment on her Weibo. ¡°Focus on filming your scenes.¡± Luo Tianxue replied: ¡°I don¡¯t want to film. I just want to spend money.¡± Fans were all leavingments to persuade their idols to be more rational. Impulsiveness was the devil. Spending money for a moment could be satisfying, but earning money was more addictive! Luo Tianxue replied: ¡°I¡¯m so poor that I only have money left!¡± #Luo Tianxue doesn¡¯t want to film# became trending again. Luo Tianxue: ¡® Brother Ming received a call from the director and had no choice but to get his assistant to confiscate her cell phone. Before the filming waspleted, she was not allowed to surf the Inte. Luo Tianxue: ¡® There was really no love left in this world. It was the opening day of White¡¯s specialty store and crowds filled the mall. This was because other than Lin Qingqian, Xu Wan, and the others, there were also many celebrities and fans of White in the industry who came to cut the ribbon. Among them, the most popr was the spokesperson, Sheng Yan. His poprity was about the same as Lu Qinshang¡¯s, but his personality waspletely different from Lu Qinshang¡¯s. He was quiet and reserved, gentle like jade, very much in line with White¡¯s style. This was also the most important reason why he was chosen as the spokesperson. Lin Qingqian did not want to show her face, so she rejected Xu Wan¡¯s invitation to cut the ribbon and did not let the media take photos. There was a thank-you banquet in the evening and she had to bring a malepanion to attend. Most of the people in thepany were girls, so Lin Qingqian chose Han Liubai without any choice. Lin Qingqian chose a white tassel dress for herself and put on some light makeup, while Han Liubai wore a white suit from White¡¯s series, ¡°Four Seasons¡±. The two of them stood together and attracted the attention of all the guests the moment they appeared. Lu Qinshang, who was also present when he received the invitation, cursed when he saw this. ¡°When did such a person appear in the industry? Why didn¡¯t I know?¡± Without a word, he immediately took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Yanshen. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Ah Yan, Ah Yan, your wall has copsed!! Chapter 143 - 143: I’m Not In Good Health, and I Don’t Want to Delay Others Chapter 143: I¡¯m Not In Good Health, and I Don¡¯t Want to Dy Others Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen replied: ¡® Seeing that he was not anxious at all, Lu Qinshang took two photos and sent them over! Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Brother, just say the word and I¡¯ll immediately kill the pretty boy who stole your woman! Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t fly into a rage as Lu Qinshang had expected. After a while, he replied, ¡°Don¡¯t interfere!¡± Lu Qinshang: . After Lin Qingqian greeted Han Liubai and Xu Wan, she saw Lu Qinshang walking towards her. Lu Qinshang looked at them as if he was looking at an adulterous couple. Lin Qingqian noticed that there was something wrong with his gaze and asked curiously, ¡°Is there something wrong with your eyes?¡± Lu Qinshang snorted arrogantly. ¡°You¡¯re the one with eyesight problems!¡± She didn¡¯t want such a good man like Ah Yan and fell for a pretty boy instead. Lin Qingqian thought about how he didn¡¯t get the spokesperson role and decided to not argue with him. ¡°Let me introduce you to ourpany¡¯s stylist, Han Liubai. Xiao Bai, this is Lu Qinshang.¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. ¡°A stylist?¡± Han Liubai smiled and extended his hand politely. ¡°Hello, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± It was hard for him not to know since Suisui liked to update him about the office every day. Lu Qinshang coughed lightly and shook his hand. ¡°Hello.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°In the future, Xiao Bai will be in charge of your style.¡± Lu Qinshang frowned. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you don¡¯t want me anymore?¡± His tone was like a devoted man who had been kicked by a heartless b*tch. ¡°Xiao Bails understanding of men¡¯s clothing is better than mine,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. ¡°I have to manage thepany now and take care of the other female celebrities.¡± She looked at him as if she was saying, ¡°You should just be obedient!¡± Lu Qinshang sized up Han Liubai again. ¡°Do you have a girlfriend?¡± Han Liubai was stunned. Although he felt offended, he still shook his head with a smile. ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case.¡± Lu Qinshang touched his chin and pondered. ¡°You¡¯re quite good-looking. How can you not have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°There are only two possibilities for someone like you who doesn¡¯t have a girlfriend. You¡¯re either a sissy or a gay.¡± Han Liubai: ¡°¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as she warned him coldly, ¡°Lu Qinshang, you better know when to stop.¡± Lu Oinshang: ¡°Did I sav something wrong?¡± Han Liubai was not angry. His gentle voice exined unhurriedly, ¡°Previously, I was focused on my studies and career so I didn¡¯t meet any girls who I liked. Moreover¡ª¡± He paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and said lightly, ¡°I¡¯m not in good health, and I don¡¯t want to burden others. ¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. There was a trace of surprise in her eyes as she looked at his side profile. No wonder hisplexion looked rather pale. Lu Qinshang did not expect the other party to be a sickly person. Now, he was not worried at all. ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry. I have a rtive in my family who is a men¡¯s specialist doctor. I¡¯ll introduce him to youter. Tell him my name and he¡¯ll give you a 20% discount.¡± Han Liubai: ¡°¡­I¡® Lin Qingqian: ¡® This idiot must have done it on purpose!! After the banquet ended, Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai walked out of the banquet hall. Coincidentally, the door of the banquet hall opposite opened as well. The man who walked out was dressed in a ck suit. His facial features were cold and deep, and their gazes instantly intertwined. Lu Qinshang stuck his head out from behind them. ¡°Ah Yan, so you¡¯re on the opposite side¡­¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and red at him. Another tip-off?!! Lu Qinshang shrugged innocently. ¡°I really didn¡¯t f*cking know that he was opposite me. If I knew, why would I still be here? I would have left long ago!¡± Jiang Yanshen was also attending the banquet tonight. The femalepanion beside him was Song Qin, who was wearing a pink gown. The moment she saw Lin Qingqian, she immediately retracted her hand that was holding the boss¡¯s, afraid that she would be misunderstood. She wanted to be Director Jiang¡¯s capable assistant, not to be Madam Jiang! Chapter 144 - 144: A Good Woman Is Afraid of a Passionate Man Chapter 144: A Good Woman Is Afraid of a Passionate Man Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep gaze first nced at Han Liubai, then at Lin Qingqian, and finallynded on their hands. In this month, Lin Qingqian saw Jiang Yanshen again. He looked thinner than before, and his temperament seems colder. Other than the endless calmness and coldness in his eyes, there was nothing else. The violent and humble Jiang Yanshen from a month ago was like an illusion that had never appeared. Han Liubai seemed to have sensed the abnormality between the two of them. His eyes darted between them, but he did not say anything. In the end, Jiang Yanshen retracted his gaze and nced at Lu Qinshang. ¡°Are we going together?¡± Seeing that he had no reaction, Lu Qinshang hurriedly nodded. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go together¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen turned around and walked towards the elevator without looking at Lin Qingqian. Song Qin bowed slightly to Lin Qingqian before turning around and hurriedly followed Jiang Yanshen. Lu Qinshang followed without saying goodbye. Lin Qingqian stood at the same spot and watched as the group of them walked further and further away, not knowing why¡­ Han Liubai was clearly standing beside her, but she felt that she was alone. Han Liubai looked down at her and asked gently, ¡°Director Lin, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked up with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± The Jiang family. Ever since Li Ruzhu was chased out, Madam Jiang rarely came back. Every time she came back, she would either change her clothes in a hurry or get drunk. The originally deserted Jiang residence looked even more deste now. Jiang Yanshen got the servants to leave and took a ss of mineral water to drink in front of the sofa. Lu Qinshang came out of the kitchen with a can of pineapple beer in his hand. His face was as ck as charcoal. ¡°Is your house a temple? It¡¯s not that I want to criticize you, but look at you. You don¡¯t drink, don¡¯t smoke, and don¡¯t get close to women. You don¡¯t even touch any of the three most important things of a man. Not to mention others, I even suspect that you¡¯re not a man anymore!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed. He swallowed the cold water and looked up at him. Lu Qinshang drank the pineapple beer that was even sweeter than wine and said to himself, ¡°With my many years of experience in love, that pretty boy surnamed Han definitely has ulterior motives towards Lin Qingqian tonight. If you still don¡¯t make a move, that silly vige girl Lin Qingqian¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes, his gaze dark and sharp. Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes and corrected himself. ¡°Lin Qingqian isn¡¯t a silly vige girl, alright? Even if she¡¯s not stupid, a good woman is afraid of a passionate man. The two of them spend time together every day. What if love develops over time¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Yanshen interrupted him, his furrowed brows filled with frustration. Lu Qinshang licked his lips and muttered softly, ¡°I¡¯m just thinking for you.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t want to listen to his nonsense. He got up and walked upstairs. ¡°Hey, where are you going?¡± ¡°Sleep,¡± Jiang Yanshen said without looking back. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Then what should I do?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer and only gave him a cold back view. Lu Qinshang felt that it was boring. He thought about how Sister Chan was not in Lan City these few days and he could go out and have fun!! Only an orange floormp was turned on in the room, lighting up the furnishings. Jiang Yanshen came out of the bathroom, his hair dripping wet. The belt around his waist was hanging loosely. The cor of his sleeping robe was wide open, revealing his muscr chest. There were still sparkling water droplets on it, making him look sexy and seductive. Although he said that he was going to sleep, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of sleepiness. He walked to the sofa and sat down. He did not wipe the water from his hair and let the water droplets fall on his sleeping robe. The floormp reflected his lonely shadow on the ground until dawn¡­ Chapter 145 - 145: Touched for No More Than Three Seconds Chapter 145: Touched for No More Than Three Seconds Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The second half of the year was the busiest period in the entertainment and fashion industry. Other than the various year-end celebrations, there were also magazine shoots in spring. After Shi Guang Studio and White reached an agreement, it set off a Chinese trend in the entertainment industry. Because White¡¯s series of four seasons were all Chinese-style, and Han Liubai was very good at capturing the characteristics of brands and artistes, when he was styling, he fused them perfectly. No matter which male celebrity wore his style, they would definitely be on the trending list. White¡¯s reputation and poprity in the country had increased all of a sudden, and the artists had be a topic of discussion. This was a win-win situation. With this wave of publicity effect, there was no need for Lin Qingqian to take the initiative to contact other brands. There were also a few brands who took the initiative to extend an olive branch and express their intention to cooperate. Not only were they willing to lend out their clothes, they were even willing to lend out some single items. Afterparing, Lin Qingqian epted the olive branches of a few brands and rejected a few brands with bad reputations. For example, the brand that Li Ruzhu had visited previously. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. Soon, it would be the annual Starlight G in Lan City. Luo Tianxue, who was still filming in the production team, had already gotten her assistant to call Lin Qingqian. She will participate in the Starlight G this time. Even if she didn¡¯t win an award, she had to be the most beautiful star in the venue. There was no doubt that Shi Guang Studio was in charge of Lu Qinshang¡¯s style as well. When she was called to select the clothes, the two of them happened to be there on the same day. Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but mock in a teasing tone. ¡°I heard that it will snow on the day of the Starlight G. The temperature will be below zero. Moreover, the organizers specially ced the red carpet segment outside this time.¡± This segment was filled with malice towards female celebrities. Luo Tianxue snorted lightly and looked at Lin Qingqian. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Qingqian, it¡¯s alright. Hand over the best battle robe. I¡¯m not afraid of the cold. I only want beauty!¡± Recently, she had been obsessed with filming, and she couldn¡¯t live without the historical lines from the drama. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t freeze to death.¡± After saying that, she asked Su Ying to bring Luo Tianxue to the female changing room where the clothes had been prepared for her in advance. Meanwhile, Lu Qinshang went to the men¡¯s changing room. Fifteen minutester. Luo Tianxue walked out of the changing room. Her ck hair and red dress made her look even more beautiful. Lu Qinshang, who was standing in front of the mirror, couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re cheating! We¡¯re going to walk the red carpet, not worship the heavens and the earth. Why are you putting traditional clothes on her?¡± Lin Qingqian went forward to help Luo Tianxue tidy up her skirt. ¡°Who stipted that we can¡¯t wear traditional Chinese clothes on the red carpet?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Luo Tianxue raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. The more she looked at the outfit, the more satisfied she was. ¡°Qingqian, where did you get this dress? It¡¯s too beautiful!¡± Although it was a traditional dress, it had been modified and looked more fairy-like than a typical traditional dress. Most importantly¡­ it was beautiful and warm! She could even secretly paste heat packs underneath it. ¡°This is made by a local brand. I¡¯ve informed them in advance and specially asked them to tailor it for you.¡± Lin Qingqian exined. Luo Tianxue was touched. ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re too good to me.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯ve paid for this dress. If you don¡¯t want others to wear it, you can ask Brother Ming to pay me now.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡® ¡­¡± She couldn¡¯t be touched for more than three seconds. Lu Qinshang, who was beside her, was speechless. ¡°Why can she dress warmly and beautifully while I have to dress like this?¡± Lu Qinshang was wearing a silver shirt and ck trousers. His jacket was a thin ck windbreaker, and then¡­ it was all openwork! He wouldn¡¯t be able to keep himself warm, let alone put heat packs underneath!! Chapter 147 - 147: The Closer the Friendship, the Higher the Price! Chapter 147: The Closer the Friendship, the Higher the Price! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the beginning, they only bickered. Later on, Lu Qinshang picked up his phone and posted on Weibo. Luo Tianxue was also on her cell phone so the two of them could see each other¡¯s posts and ended up arguing in thements section. Ultimately, their respective managers confiscated their cell phones and ended the kindergarten battle. Hence, the first trending topic on the Starlight G this time was #Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang¡¯s Weibo bickering#. The organizers were dumbfounded, and so were their respective agencies. Lin Qingqian finally finished with the artistes in front of her. When she found out that these two were on the trending searches again, she had nothing to say. Under the urging of the managers of both sides, she and Han Liubai each took one away to prevent them from arguing again. When the media and fans found out that they were being styled by Shi Guang Studio, they squatted at the door, wanting to secretly take photos. Lin Qingqian also got someone to make preparations in advance. The artistes who were willing to be filmed would get into the car under the escort of the bodyguards, while the artistes who were unwilling to be filmed drove to the door. A two-meter-tall screen was prepared at the door. A ck curtain was hung on the screen, blocking the car. Not even a strand of hair could be seen, let alone the whole person. The media was collectively dumbfounded. The fansughed until they stopped breathing. Immediately, fans posted photos onto Weibo. They originally wanted to hide their idol¡¯s beauty, but they saw two ck curtains!! The moment the Weibo post was uploaded, it attracted the attention of the fans. All of them burst outughing, praising Shi Guang¡¯s actions for being too brilliant! Every year, the media would take photos of the celebrities¡¯ clothes in advance and post them on Weibo. When they walked the red carpet, there would be less anticipation and mystery. Initially, everyone was worried that the new styling team this year would not be able to handle this. However, they did not expect the other party to be a sly fox. You want to take a photo? Photo my ass! I won¡¯t even let you take a photo of his shoes! The fans of the two celebritiesughed like geese as they went to Shi Guang Studio¡¯s official Weibo. Lin Qingqian left a message under her Weibo which made the fans look forward to their idol¡¯s appearance even more!! After styling all the artistes, Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai brought Suisui and another makeup artist to the event location. Firstly, it was to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen. Secondly, it was due to Luo Tianxue¡¯s strong invitation. After all, she was nominated for the Best Actress award tonight. What if she really end up winning an award? Luo Tianxue had just arrived at the event location to walk the red carpet with the production team when the spotlights started shing crazily at her. Luo Tianxue¡¯s fans at the event location then let out a tsunami-like roar! ¡°F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!! Our daughter is really beautiful in a Han costume!¡± ¡°AHHHHHHHH! Our daughter¡¯s hairstyle is Jiuge¡¯s hairstyle! Shi Guang¡¯s stylist is really amazing!¡± ¡°The hairpin our daughter wears is also beautiful. I really want to wear that hairpin! ¡± ¡°What daughter? At this moment, I only want to be her husband!¡± The male fans in the crowd screamed. The female fans beside him covered their mouths in unison. No, you don¡¯t want to! ! Luo Tianxue walked the red carpet with the production team and was left alone to have her photos taken and ept interviews. When the reporter asked why she thought of doing such a look, Luo Tianxue replied, ¡°You should ask the stylist. This is her idea.¡± The reporter asked again, ¡°We all know that Shen Qian Goddess is very talented and has helped many female celebrities do their styling. But why does she always help you do the most special and eye-catching ones?¡± Luo Tianxue smiled. ¡°Of course it¡¯s because I¡¯m good-looking.¡± The fans at the event locationughed when they heard that. ¡°That¡¯s right! Daughter, you¡¯re beautiful. Whatever you say is right!¡± The reporter did not give up and continued asking, ¡°Isn¡¯t it because you guys have a good rtionship? The outside world is saying that you¡¯re Shi Guang¡¯s number one fan.¡± Luo Tianxue smiled. ¡°The closer the friendship, the higher the price!¡± The reporter ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian, who was watching the live-stream interview backstage, was speechless. It was good that she knew about this in her heart but why did she have to say it in public? Chapter 148 - 148: Yet To Meet KPI Chapter 148: Yet To Meet KPI Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Lu Qinshang came out, there was another wave of screams. In order to match his outfit tonight, Suisui had put on heavy makeup for him. She had applied earth-colored eye makeup and eyeliner which was different from her usual light makeup style. It helped add a hint of evilness. The fans¡¯ cries of ¡°Hubby¡±pletely drowned out the support of the other fans. Although Lu Qinshang did not have to pay a high price like Luo Tian Xue, when he was interviewed by the media, he expressed implicitly how he, as an investor, still had to pay the necessary fees. After the video was posted online, the fans leftments for Lin Qingqian. Since Big Brother had already invested, she should charge him less. Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t she still have to share it with Big Brotherter in dividends? ¡°Big Brother is so handsome, why would she ept his money? You should do it for free!¡± ¡°The way the Goddess collects money is very simr to me, hahahahahaha.¡± Other than Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans, there were also Luo Tianxue¡¯s fans. They all shouted that it was not easy for their daughter to earn money. They pleaded with the Goddess to be gentle with the fees!! Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo ount thus skyrocketed by 100,000 followers and she even climbed to the top 20 of the trending searches. She rified helplessly¡ª Shen Qian: Shi Guang¡¯s philosophy is to provide the most satisfactory service to every customer. Of course, you get what you pay for. It¡¯s almost the end of the year, and the KPI set by the investors has yet to bepleted. As soon as this Weibo post came out, thements on Weibo were all hahahahaha. It turned out that Lu Qinshang had requested for the KPI himself. Since she couldn¡¯t hit the KPI, she would have to collect the fees from him. The passersby who were originally just joining in the fun were all extremely amused when they clicked on it, so they decided to follow the ount. Lin Qingqian left after posting on Weibo. She helped Luo Tianxue, who had walked the red carpet, tidy her hair backstage. On the other side, Lu Qinshang held the thermos sk that Suisui had given him and drank water while shivering and touching up his makeup. The red carpet segment was over, and the award ceremony was about to begin. Luo Tianxue had originally asked Brother Ming to arrange a seat for Lin Qingqian to watch the award ceremony. But Lin Qingqian declined politely. She didn¡¯t want to appear in front of the public, not to mention getting caught by the camera. On the other hand, Suisui dragged Han Liubai along to cheer for her idol! On the stage, the emcees carried out the award ceremony in an orderly manner. Lin Qingqian watched from the backstage while scrolling through Weibo. When she realized that Luo Tianxue¡¯s current production director was following her, she immediately followed him as well. The director reposted Luo Tianxue¡¯s photo and even praised her. He was probably moved by Lin Qingqian¡¯s coboration. Lin Qingqian reposted it and gave a concise thank you. Whether it was Luo Tianxue or other artists, as long as they came to Shi Guang Studio for styling, Lin Qingqian would formte a styling n ording to their image or the project they were currently working on. Not only could this move improve the artist¡¯s fashion, it could also make the artist gain a favorable impression from the investors. As time passed, the number of artistes Shi Guang stvled would increase, and her reputation in the industry would spread like wildfire. This year, Shi Guang Studio had just started and had already taken a huge step forward. The direction of next year¡¯s development had to be determined as soon as possible¡­ Lin Qingqian was calcting the development of Shi Guang Studio when she suddenly heard movement. She looked up and saw the door of the lounge open. Jiang Yanshen stood at the door. Lu Yuan pushed open the door and was stunned to see her. ¡°M-Miss Lin¡­¡± Lu Yuan came back to his senses and stuttered. ¡°The staff said that there¡¯s no one here for the time being and allowed Director Jiang toe in and rest.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. She just stared at the man and his exquisite facial features. The man¡¯s expression was calm and he did not say a word. His dark eyes looked at her calmly, as if he was also waiting for her to speak.. Chapter 149 - 149: Why Did He Lose So Much weight? Chapter 149: Why Did He Lose So Much weight? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the end, Lin Qingqian nodded and allowed them to enter. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t walk to the chair beside her and sit down. Instead his long legs brought him straight to the sofa. Lu Yuan then quickly went forward and took out a napkin from his pocket to spread out onto the sofa. Only then did Jiang Yanshen sit down. Lin Qingqian almost forgot that he was a hygiene freak. Therefore, in the past seven years, including the three years that they spent as a married couple, she had not been able to go out and watch a movie with him like an ordinary couple. When Jiang Yanshen sat down, he closed his eyes as if he was resting. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything either, but when she turned her head to look at the mirror, she could see the man¡¯s upright facial features. His coldness was even stronger than before. The atmosphere was so quiet for a moment that even Lu Yuan felt a little tormented. He pursed his lips and exined, ¡°The organizer invited Tianyue here as a sponsor this time, so they also invited Director Jiang to go on stage to present an award.¡± Lin Qing¡¯s eyshes, which were as thin as the wings of a cicada, trembled slightly. She gave a faint ¡°Mn¡± and did not speak further. It then turned quiet again. Lu Yuan looked at the man on the sofa in despair. It was rare for him to see Miss Lin. Why didn¡¯t he react at all? When would they be able to remarry? ¡°Well, Luo Tianxue and Young Master Lu¡¯s makeup looks really good today!¡± Lu Yuan spoke again. He had to help Director Jiang gain more points. Lin Qingqian thanked him lightly and stopped talking. Lu Yuan Forget it, I¡¯ll just pretend to be dead! Five minutester, the staff knocked on the door and invited Jiang Yanshen on stage. Jiang Yanshen opened his closed eyes and walked towards the door without saying a word. Lu Yuan bowed to Lin Qingqian and hurriedly chased after his boss. When Lu Qinshang came in, he saw Lin Qingqian looking down at the white paper on the sofa in a daze. ¡°Hey, why are you in a daze? Help me with this! ¡± When she went on stage to perform, the microphone fell off. Nobody knew where Suisui had dragged Han Liubai to, so she could only ask Lin Qingqian for help. Hence, Lin Qingqian went forward to help her with the mic. Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the television on the wall. It was the emcee introducing Jiang Yanshen on stage. She looked up and saw that he was wearing a ck suit tonight. He looked simple but capable, and his deep and cold facial features were not inferior to any male celebrity in the entertainment industry. Seeing that she was looking at Jiang Yanshen, Lu Qinshang smirked and said, ¡°If Ah Yan gets close to the entertainment industry, those pretty boys won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and ced the microphone on the coffee table. ¡°Are you insulting yourself?¡± Lu Qinshang: Lin Qingqian looked at the expressionless man on the television and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why did he lose so much weight?¡± Compared to before, he seemed to have lost weight. His cheeks were sunken, making his temperament colder and difficult to approach. Lu Qinshang walked to the mirror and fiddled with his hair as he said, ¡°How would I know? But I heard from Lu Yuan that Ah Yan has been working crazily recently. He seems to take just three hours off a day.¡± ¡°Three hours?¡± Does he want to die? Lu Qinshang turned to look at her. ¡°You know that Ah Yan is sick, right?¡± Lin Qingqian was silent, which could be considered a tacit agreement. ¡°When he goes crazy, he doesn¡¯t care about anyone. Ah Ci and I were beaten up by him a lot. Yet Ah Yan didn¡¯t even hurt a strand of your hair for all this time. Unbelievable.¡± Lu Qinshang usually looked quite silly and heartless, but he had been nurtured as the family heir since he was young. How could he be really naive and not notice Jiang Yanshen¡¯s abnormality? ¡°Lin Qingqian, just take it that you pity him. On ount that you two were once husband and wife and that he had never hurt you, don¡¯t be so ruthless to him. Look at the dark circles under his eyes. I worry that he¡¯ll die before his illness acts up..¡± Chapter 150 - 150: Watching The First Snow Together Chapter 150: Watching The First Snow Together Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian knew that Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t sleep well, but it wasn¡¯t like this in the past. At that time, Jiang Yanshen could still sleep for four hours a day. ¡°Didn¡¯t he look for Dr. Shen?¡± Lu Qinshang looked at the screen and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not like he had just started suffering from insomnia. He has long developed resistance to drugs so Doctor Shen doesn¡¯t dare to prescribe more for him, afraid that something will happen.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on the screen again. The man in front of the microphone had deep facial features and a gloomy expression, as if there was a cloud above his head that could not be blown away. His tightly knitted brows seemed to be enduring something and restraining something. But what was he enduring? What was he suppressing? The award ceremonysted until past 11 pm. Although the weather was cold, none of the fans outside left. Luo Tianxue won the Best Neer Award, while Lu Qinshang won the Best Male Lead Award. Since the manager had booked a venue to celebrate, Luo Tianxue naturally had to call Lin Qingqian along. Thanks to Lin Qingqian, she was on the trending searches again. Even if Lu Qinshang won the Best Male Lead Award, it wouldn¡¯t affect her poprity. Lin Qingqian agreed, but she did not leave with her. Instead, she went to pick up the car and brought Han Liubai and Suisui along. There were still many fans outside. When Lin Qingqian walked towards the parking lot, some celebrity came out and a group of fans rushed over like crazy. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t even have time to dodge before she was swept into the crowd. The fans were holding posters and cards in their hands and she did not know what had scratched her face. Coupled with the fact that the weather was already below zero, her skin felt like it had been cut by a knife. She also did not know how many times her feet had been stepped on. She was stunned, like a duckweed swept by a tsunami, isted and helpless. Suddenly, a warm palm grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the vortex. She looked up and saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s abstinent face. Jiang Yanshen held her hand and let go. Lin Qingqian felt a sharp pain in her foot and fell down. He grabbed her slender wrist again and picked her up. Lin Qingqian was stunned and struggled to get down. ¡°Put me down.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Her thin lips squeezed out two words. After a moment, he asked, ¡°Where is the car parked?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was holding the car keys pointed at the parking lot not far away¡­ Jiang Yanshen carried her to the parking lot. He didn¡¯t look down at her the entire time, as if he was just carrying an item. There was no moon tonight. The sky was filled with dark clouds, and only the streetmps by the roadside glowed faintly. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t find it strenuous to carry her, but because the weather was too cold, his breath turned into white fog. Lin Qingqian looked at his side profile from the corner of her eye. She saw the white foging out and dissipating. She saw the dark circles under his eyes. For some reason, her heart suddenly felt very sour. Her nose felt very sour, and her face was wet and cold. She looked up and saw that it had started to snow. Snowkes floated down like goose feathers andnded on her face, hair, and clothes. They then quickly turned into water. This should be the first snow of the year. She had once fantasized that they could watch the first snow together, but she did not expect it to happen under such circumstances. When she walked into the parking lot, Lin Qingqian pressed the car key. There was only one car shing in the quiet parking lot. Jiang Yanshen walked over and put her down.. He then said in a low voice, ¡°Do you need me to call the chauffeur for you?¡± Chapter 151 - 151: The Condor Heroes Of The Fashion Circle Chapter 151: The Condor Heroes Of The Fashion Circle Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions His calm tone made it seem like they were just strangers who had met by chance and he was just doing it casually. Lin Qingqian¡¯s feet were still in pain. She held onto the car and barely managed to stabilize herself. She looked at him and shook her head gently. ¡°No need¡­¡¯ As soon as she finished speaking, Suisui¡¯s voice came from afar. ¡°Qianqian, where did you go? We were looking for you everywhere! Suisui and Han Liubai walked over together. When Jiang Yanshen saw them walking over, he nced at Lin Qingqian again. His thin lips pursed into a straight line and he turned to leave without saying a word. Lin Qingqian looked at his tall and straight figure walking alone in the snowy night. The snowkes thatnded on his coat quickly melted. Suisui walked over and followed her gaze to look at the receding figure. She asked curiously, ¡°Who is that man? Is he Jiang Yanshen?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could answer, she heard Han Liubai¡¯s worried voice. ¡°Director Lin, are you injured?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just sprained my ankle.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want them to worry and said calmly. ¡°Ah!¡± Suisui was worried. ¡°Why are you so careless?¡± It was rare for Han Liubai to look so serious. ¡°The sprain could be serious. Let me send you to the hospital.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you still have to attend Luo Tianxue¡¯s celebration party?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going. You still have to go to the hospital to take a look at your feet.¡± The usually gentle man¡¯s attitude was abnormally firm at this moment. Suisui looked a little hesitant. In the end, she said, ¡°Forget it, forget it. It¡¯s not Big Brother¡¯s celebration party anyway. I¡¯ll apany you to the hospital. ¡± As she spoke, she opened the car door and helped Lin Qingqian into the car. She then took the car keys from her and handed them to Han Liubai. There were not many people in the emergency department tonight so Suisui was able to register quickly, and Han Liubai helped her see a doctor. The doctor examined her bones and confirmed that there were no big problems and that she would be fine after applying some ointment and resting for a few days. Han Liubai took the prescription list given by the doctor and went to get the medicine. Meanwhile, Suisui apanied Lin Qingqian and couldn¡¯t help but ask carefully, ¡°How did you hurt your foot? Did Jiang Yanshen get rough with you?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her speechlessly. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± How could Jiang Yanshen be rough with her? Even if he was rough, why would he only hurt her feet? Suisui pouted. ¡°Then why were you with him? Didn¡¯t you cut him offpletely?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her. ¡°You¡¯re acting weird tonight.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Suisui looked up at the ceiling. She bit her lip for a long time but still couldn¡¯t hold it in. She turned her head and said, ¡°I just feel that since you and Jiang Yanshen have broken up, you shouldn¡¯t get involved with him anymore. Anyway, there¡¯s a better choice now.¡± ¡°A better choice?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t understand what she meant for a moment. ¡°Stupid!¡± Suisui knocked her on the head. ¡°Xiao Bai! He¡¯s handsome, has a good temper, and is in the same industry as you. If the two of you get together, you¡¯ll be The Condor Heroes of the fashion industry!!¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her speechlessly. ¡°Then you must be a condor.¡± Suisui ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious!¡± Suisui said with a serious expression, ¡°I¡¯ve observed carefully these days. Xiao Bai is really not bad. Moreover, I heard that his mother is no longer around. In the future, even if you marry him, there will be no evil mother-inw to make things difficult for you. How good is that!¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not a matchmaker.¡± She even considered whether there would be a mother-inw when she got married in the future.. Chapter 152 - 152: If You Don ‘t Make a Move, Lin Qjngqian Will Really Be Ducked By Another Man… Chapter 152: If You Don ¡®t Make a Move, Lin Qjngqian Will Really Be Ducked By Another Man¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui seemed to have made up her mind to matchmake the two of them. She found an excuse and left. But before she left, she asked Han Liubai to send her home. Lin Qingqian struggled to stand up as her feet hurt terribly when she stood up, let alone walking. ¡°Director Lin¡­¡± Han Liubai suddenly spoke. When Lin Qingqian raised her head, he leaned over and lifted her. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses, the man¡¯s gentle voice rang in her ears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± With that, he hugged and carried her to the elevator. Lin Qingqian really didn¡¯t expect to be carried by two men, one ex-husband and one colleague, all in one night. Originally, she wanted Han Liubai to put her down. However, her feet hurt so much that she was afraid that she would trouble him even more if she tried to walk on her own. Hence, she swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. Han Liubai then carried her into the elevator and into the underground parking lot. Then, he carried her into the car and slowly drove out of the underground parking lot. What Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know was that just as the car drove out, a ck Maybach that was parked not far away suddenly lit up. Lu Qinshang, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned his head to look at the man beside him. ¡°I already said that this pretty boy has ill intentions towards Lin Qingqian, but you still didn¡¯t believe me!¡± Jiang Yanshen had followed their car over. He was also the one who called the hospital to arrange for the orthopedic doctor to treat Lin Qingqian. After confirming that her bones were not hurt, he rxed a little. However, he did not expect to see a man carrying her out of the elevator the next second. At this moment, the man¡¯s exquisite facial features were like white frost, terrifying one¡¯s soul. Lu Qinshang was still nagging at the side. ¡°If you don¡¯t make a move now, Lin Qingqian will really be ducked by another man¡­¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Jiang Yanshen shouted. Lu Qinshang. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at him, his eyes cold as he repeated, ¡°Get lost!¡± Lu Qinshang got out of the car reluctantly and cursed angrily. ¡°I didn¡¯t even go to the celebration narty. I apanied you to the hospital and you actually treated me like this. Jiang Yanshen, are you still a human? I want to¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Yanshen started the engine and stepped on the elerator, leaving behind the smell of gasoline. When the car drove onto the main road, Jiang Yanshen called Lu Yuan. ¡°Help me investigate someone.¡± He looked at the endless road ahead with his sharp ck eyes. Amidst Lu Yuan¡¯s confusion, he said word by word, ¡°Han, Liu, Bai.¡± The car stopped at the apartment building. Han Liubai got out of the car, opened the passenger door, and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± After saying that, he carried Lin Qingqian again and turned to go upstairs. He opened the door, closed it, and turned on the lights. Han Liubai then carried Lin Qingqian to the sofa and gently set her down. He turned around and saw the kettle and cup on the table. He walked over and poured a cup of hot water for her. ¡°Take your medicine first. Do you have a hot water bag at home?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. Lan City¡¯s housing had heated floors for winter, and the temperature in the house was as hot as summer. There was no need for a hot water bag, so she naturally did not have one. ¡°I¡¯ll go out and buy it.¡¯ ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. Han Liubai walked a few steps before turning around. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s no trouble.¡± There was a 24 hours convenience store just outside the neighborhood. Hence, Han Liubai was able to quickly buy a hot water bag. It was an auto heating bag so he did not need to boil water. After that, he put the hot water bag aside and went to the fridge to get a physical ice pack for her. ¡°The doctor said that you have to apply coldpresses for 24 hours before applying hotpresses. With your foot injured like this, don¡¯te to thepany tomorrow. I¡¯ll call you if anything happens.¡± Lin Qingqian took the ice pack and ced it on her feet. She looked up at him and said seriously, ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bai..¡± Chapter 153 - 153: You Don I t Have to Thank Me Ever Chapter 153: You Don I t Have to Thank Me Ever Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Han Liubai¡¯s long eyshes fluttered. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me ever.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She blinked and before she could react, she heard the man¡¯s low and pleasant voice say, ¡°Rest well, good night!¡± With that, he left. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa and lowered her eyes to ponder over the meaning of his words. She couldn¡¯t help but bite her lip¡ª Was Suisui an oracle? Did she really hit the nail on the head? No way! Judging from Xiao Bai¡¯s bearing and cultivation, he was not a child nurtured by an ordinary family. He was good-looking and talented. How could he fall for a divorced woman like her? She really couldn¡¯t hang out with Suisui for too long. It was very easy for Suisui to lead her astray. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of the pain in her feet, but she felt very uneasy and could only stay half asleep. She vaguely felt that someone was sitting at the end of the bed and touching her feet. She wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids were too heavy. However, the gentle touch of the warm fingertips on her feet made her shudder. Waves of coldness rushed into her mind from the bottom of her feet, and her scalp went numb. The hand seemed to sense her fear and went from stroking to massaging. The strength was just enough to ease the pain in her foot, and the pain in her muscles seemed to rx her tense nerves. She fell into a deep sleep without realizing it. The next day, when Lin Qingqian opened her eyes, she was the only one in the empty room. The curtains were not drawn, so she could see the city view when she turned her head. When she woke up and got off the bed, she felt that her feet did not hurt as much. She slowly walked to the French window and looked outside. Although her eyes were dull, she could not hide her joy. After washing up and changing, she made a simple breakfast and took a taxi to thepany. As soon as she entered, Han Liubai saw her. He walked over and naturally held her arm. He said gently, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to rest at home?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and met his clear eyes. He was a gentleman without any evil thoughts. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt that much anymore. It¡¯s so busy this time of the year and I have nothing to do at home anyway so why don¡¯t Ie to thepany and finish some work?¡± Han Liubai smiled helplessly and helped her to the office. Her feet caused her much inconvenience that day. Lunch had to be brought back by Su Ying. She had a pharmacy bag in her hand too. Lin Qingqian asked, ¡°Xiao Ying, are you feeling unwell?¡± Su Ying exined, ¡°Mr. Han said that he hasn¡¯t been sleeping well recently, so when I passed by the pharmacy, I bought some medicine. I nned to make it into a herbal pillow to help him sleep.¡± Herbal pillow? Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Is it useful?¡± ¡°This is a very useful remedy from our hometown.¡± Seeing that she was interested, Su Ying took the initiative to ask, ¡°Sister Qingqian, you can¡¯t sleep well too? Do you want me to make one for you?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and thought of that person who did not care about his life. She bit her lip and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you.¡± Su Ying shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. It¡¯ll be done in two or three days. ¡± Lin Qingqian thanked her. Three dayster, Su Ying came to thepany with two herbal pillows. One was quietly ced in Han Liubai¡¯s office, and the other was given to Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian took the herbal pillow and smelled it first. The pillow was moderately soft and was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. It should be veryfortable to use. However, how should she give it to that person? Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and took out her phone to call Lu Qinshang.. Chapter 154 - 154: My Stepmother Made It Chapter 154: My Stepmother Made It Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The first snowfall in Lan City was very heavy, crushing many trees by the roadside. Even after a few days, the snow on the roofs had notpletely melted. Lin Qingqian¡¯s foot was almost healed so she drove herself to the building of the Tianyue Corporation. Lu Qinshang got out of the huge van in front and quickly opened the door of the front passenger seat. He took off his mask and said, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, why don¡¯t youe inside yourself?¡± Lin Qingqian unbuckled her seatbelt and handed the pillow to him from the back seat. ¡°Why should I go up? Let him think that I still have feelings for him and allow him to still have fantasies?¡± Lu Qinshang nced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°If you don¡¯t have any lingering feelings for Ah Yan, why are you so concerned about him?¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him. ¡°You¡¯re the one who asked me to treat him better. Yet now you¡¯re telling me that I care too much about him now. Lu Qinshang, are you crazy?¡± Lu Qinshang rubbed his nose. ¡°Not really. It¡¯s just that¡­ don¡¯t you think it¡¯s weird for a grown man like me to give him a pillow?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Just say that your mother made it for him.¡± Lu Qinshang looked numb. ¡°My mom has been dead for many years. My dad has already married three concubines.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°Then say that your stepmother made it.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s lips twitched mechanically. ¡°My stepmother decided to give my brother a pillow. Are you sure that if my old man hears about this, it won¡¯t cause a bloodbath?¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® Wasn¡¯t it just a pillow to thank him for his help that night? Why did it feel soplicated and difficult? Her brows were tightly knitted, and her expression gradually revealed her impatience. She looked at Lu Qinshang with an increasingly clear gaze¡­ Lu Qinshang sensed something. ¡°Forget it, forget it. I¡¯ll do as I see fit.¡± With that, he carried the pillow and got out of the car. Only then did Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression improve. No wonder Jiang Yanshen never talked to Lu Qinshang patiently. This idiot was simply asking for a beating! Everyone knew about Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s rtionship, so not only did no one stop him from entering Tian Yue, they even sent him up warmly. Ding! The silver door slowly opened. Lu Qinshang stepped out of the elevator and saw Jiang Yanshen walking towards him with a team of people beside him. When Lu Yuan and Song Qin saw him, they greeted him politely, ¡°Young Master Lu.¡± Lu Qinshang nodded and looked at the expressionless man. ¡°Not bad. You got off work so early today!¡± Lu Yuan coughed lightly and exined, ¡°Young Master Lu, we¡¯re going to the conference room for a meeting.¡± Lu Qinshang: The others smiled staunchly. Jiang yanshen Irowheu. why are you nere: His tone was filled with disdain. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Lu Qinshang nced at the team and did not say anything. Jiang Yanshen gave Lu Yuan a look. Lu Yuan was very observant and said, ¡°Director Jiang, we¡¯ll go to the meeting room to prepare first.¡± When the others heard his words, they followed him into the elevator. Song Qin: Why didn¡¯t Director Jiang give me a look? I¡¯m clearly more capable than Lu Yuan!! Only the two of them were left in the corridor. Jiang Yanshen asked, ¡°What is it? You can tell me now.¡± Lu Qinshang handed him the pillow in his hand. ¡°Here, this is for you¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen took it and lowered his head to take a look. His frown deepened, and when he looked at him, his gaze became even sharper. Lu Qinshang immediately exined, ¡°This is a herbal pillow. It¡¯s good for your sleep. I didn¡¯t make it. It¡¯s just¡­ it¡¯s just¡­¡¯ He racked his brains but could not find a good reason. He blurted out, ¡°My stepmother made it for you..¡± Chapter 155 - 155: Careless Friends Destroys Your Life! Chapter 155: Careless Friends Destroys Your Life! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Afraid that he would not believe him, he repeated in a heavier tone, ¡°Yes, my stepmother made it for you.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® He stared at Lu Qinshang with eyes as deep as the abyss, so sharp that it seemed to be able to skin him alive. Lu Qinshang scratched the back of his head in frustration and tried to exin. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. That¡¯s not what I meant. It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s¡­¡± Before he could think of an exnation, the elevator slowly opened with a ding and Gu Xici walked over. Lu Qinshang seemed to have seen his savior and immediately changed the topic. ¡°Ah Ci, why are you here?¡± Gu Xici raised his arm which was holding a pennant and certificate in his hand. ¡°Thest time there was a fire in Jiangcheng, Ah Yan donated two million yuan. These are the awards for Ah Yan given by the bureau.¡± Lu Qinshang gave him an understanding look and took the opportunity to suck up to him. ¡°Ah Yan is really the number one phnthropist in Lan City. Not only is he handsome, but he¡¯s also so kind-hearted. It really makes us feel inferior.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Tianyue is preparing to donate a sum of money to the lonely elders at the end of the year. You can help to contribute half of the sum. This way, you won¡¯t have to feel inferior.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Qinshang was dumbfounded. Can I take back myst sentence? Gu Xici saw that he was being rebuked and a smile shed across his eyes. His gazended on the pillow in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand. ¡°Pillow? Did Lin Qingqian give it to you?¡± Lu Qinshang: He turned his head and red at Gu Xici, signaling him to stop talking. Otherwise, he would really die on the spot. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and didn¡¯t say anything. He looked at him suspiciously. Gu Xici sensed that the atmosphere was not right and was puzzled. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? I saw her driving away downstairs just now and thought that she specially gave you this because she knew that you haven¡¯t been sleeping well recently.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at Lu Qinshang sharply. Lu Qinshang: ¡°¡­¡± Don¡¯t look at me. I¡¯m dead. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gu Xici felt that the atmosphere was too strange and asked in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and nced at the ashen-faced Lu Qinshang from the corner of his eye. He said calmly, ¡°Help me thank your stepmother for her kind intentions.¡± Just as Lu Qinshang looked like he had nothing left to live for, the man¡¯s low voice sounded again. ¡°Daddy is very satisfied.¡± Lu Qinshang. Stepmom? Daddy? Damn it! I¡¯m going to fight you to the death!! Jiang Yanshen carried the pillow into the elevator. When he turned around, his expression was obviously better than before. When he pressed the elevator button, he just asked Gu Xici to put his things in the office. Lu Qinshang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. ¡°Gu Xici, let¡¯s have a duel!¡± Gu Xici tilted his head and looked at him as if he was looking at a retard. ¡°Are you¡­ sure?¡± Before Lu Qinshang could speak, he heard him say, ¡°I know Taekwondo, judo, and wrestling. You know that as well. But recently, I¡¯ve also practiced thebat techniques of Israeli agents. I can use you to test my skills!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s vision darkened. One¡¯s life would be ruined if one was not careful in making friends! Lin Qingqian did not care about this matter after handing it over to Lu Qinshang. It was just a pillow. She did not believe that Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t even handle something so simple. How useless would he be if he couldn¡¯t? Thepany was busy until the end of the year, and she was also getting busier. Other than arranging the styling schedules of the celebrities next year, she also had to maintain her coboration with brands. Fortunately, Xiao Bai and Xiao Ying were in thepany, so she didn¡¯t have to worry about thepany¡¯s annual dinner. Although Shi Guang Studio could notpare to the other big styling teams, Lin Qingqian still generously got Xiao Ying to book a five-star hotel booth for the dinner. Everyone was even given a thick year-end bonus and some New Year gifts. As the boss of thepany, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t avoid being toasted by her employees. Han Liubai wanted to drink on her behalf, but his body just wouldn¡¯t allow it. Lin Qingqian drank until her face was red. Han Liubai was worried and asked Xiao Ying to look after her while he went down to buy hangover medicine. Xiao Ying was originally looking after Lin Qingqian, but in the end, she was also forced to drink. In a groggy state, Lin Qingqian stood up and walked out of the private room.. Chapter 156 - 156: “What Lin Qingqian! ll Lin Raised Her Head And Scolded Him. “Call Me Baby. Chapter 156: ¡°What Lin Qingqian! ll Lin Raised Her Head And Scolded Him. ¡°Call Me Baby. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian wanted to go to the washroom. She held onto the wall and only took a few steps before she heard the sound of crying. Curiosity drove her to turn around and look¡­ Under the orange light, a girl in a white sweater held Jiang Yunshen¡¯s hand and said with tears in her eyes, ¡°I know that my identity is not worthy of you, and I know that you look down on me. I don¡¯t mean anything else. I just¡­ I just can¡¯t help but want to tell you¡­ that I like you.¡± Jiang Yunshen stood rooted to the ground as if someone had hit his acupoints. He straightened his neck and said, ¡°I-I¡¯m not looking down on you. Can you let go of me first?¡± The more he said that, the tighter the girl grabbed his hand. She choked and said, ¡°Second Young Master, I really like you¡­¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t like you!¡± Jiang Yunshen was about to break down. He didn¡¯t dare to move his arm that was held by the girl. The girl¡¯s tears fell uncontrobly. She looked like she would cry to death if he didn¡¯t ept her. Lin Qingqian blinked her blurry eyes and couldn¡¯t help but spit at him. Wasn¡¯t this Jiang Yunshen usually quite arrogant in front of her? Why did he be a coward in front of other girls? ¡°Hey, what are you doing? As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yunshen and the girl looked over at the same time. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s pupils dted. He didn¡¯t expect her to be here. He felt that he had lost a lot of face! Lin Qingqian let go of the wall and staggered towards Jiang Yunshen. She was one step away from leaning on him. Jiang Yunshen subconsciously reached out to support her and broke free from the girl¡¯s hand. The next second, he smelled strong alcohol. ¡°Lin Qingqian, did you drink?!¡± From the looks of it, she had drunk a lot! ¡°What Lin Qingqian!¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and scolded him. ¡°Call me baby.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ??? Damn it, do you want me to be beaten to death by Big Brother? You¡¯re so vicious! The girl: ¡°You, who are you?¡± The girl stopped crying and asked with a bad expression. Lin Qingqian hugged Jiang Yunshen¡¯s shoulder with one hand and turned to look at her. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? I¡¯m his girlfriend!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes were about to pop out. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian¡¯s dizzy reaction was not slow. She pinched his waist with her other hand. ¡°I told you to call me baby!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s facial features were in so much pain that he could not say a word. The girl looked at the two of them. ¡°Impossible. How can Second Young Master Jiang have a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Why is it impossible?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows and raised her chin. She said with the aura of a queen, ¡°Who are you? Does he need to inform you whether he has a girlfriend or not?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± The girl choked and her eyes turned red again. Tears welled up in her eyes. Lin Qingqian pushed Jiang Yunshen away and lowered her head to look at the girl. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°If you want to be thought highly of, you have to straighten your back first. Don¡¯t use your tears as a weapon to gain a man¡¯s pity.¡± The girl was stunned. Her mouth moved and she said weakly, ¡°I, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°I¡¯m also a girl. I know very well what you¡¯re thinking. If you really like him, woo him openly. Don¡¯t act weak and pitiful.¡± As the girl¡¯s expression became uglier and uglier, Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips slowly squeezed out two words¡ª¡±How degrading!¡± Thest bit of stubbornness on the girl¡¯s face waspletely shattered with these two words. Under Lin Qingqian¡¯s dazed and cold eyes, she turned around and left. Lin Qingqian snorted lightly. ¡°Little white lotus, you were still drinking milk when I was dealing with the mountain rats..¡± Chapter 157 - 157: Big Brother, Listen to Me… Chapter 157: Big Brother, Listen to Me¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions After saying that, she turned around and met Jiang Yunshen¡¯s indescribable gaze. He hesitated and said, ¡®You¡­ you¡¯re really Lin Qingqian?¡± Pa! Lin Qingqian pped his head, stunning him. ¡°What Lin Qingqian? Call me Big Sister.¡± Jiang Yunshen touched his head, unable to believe that this drunk and fierce woman in front of him was really that bumpkin¡ªLin Qingqian! Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eyes and said in a disdainful tone, ¡°Weren¡¯t you quite fierce when you rebuked me in the past? Why are you afraid now in front of that youngdy?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s afraid?¡± Jiang Yunshen came back to his senses and said indignantly, ¡°It¡¯s all your fault that I¡¯m like this. Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re my nemesis.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Lin Qingqian obviously didn¡¯t believe him and rolled her eyes. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you almost caused me to be crippled by Big Brotherst time!¡± How would he dare to hit her now? He was really afraid of being crippled by his Big Brother! ¡°Hehe!¡± Lin Qingqian felt more and more dizzy. As her eyelids drooped, she said, ¡°Jiang Yunshen, if you¡¯re my biological younger brother, I promise¡­ three rounds of beating a day¡­ on time¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen saw that she was lowering her head as if she wanted to lean on his shoulder, so he quickly pushed her away. ¡°Hey, don¡¯t do anything rash. If Big Brother misunderstands, he¡¯ll kill me.¡± After being pushed by him, Lin Qingqian¡¯s closed eyes opened again. She took two steps back and slowly slid down against the wall. Jiang Yunshen tidied his clothes and realized that she was already sitting on the ground. He went forward to help her. ¡°Lin Qingqian, how much did you drink?¡± Before he could bend down, a cold voice came from behind her. ¡°What are you doing?¡± The familiar voice made Jiang Yunshen¡¯s body stiffen. He turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen standing not far away. Jiang Yanshen also saw Lin Qingqian sitting on the ground, and his eyes suddenly turned sharp.. For a moment, Jiang Yunshen felt the killing intent in the air. He immediately stood up and exined, ¡°Big Brother, listen to me¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen rushed forward and picked Lin Qingqian up horizontally. He lowered his head and looked at her with gentle eyes. ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian leaned her head on his shoulder. Her cheeks were flushed red, as if she had fallen asleep and had no reaction. Afraid that he would misunderstand, Jiang Yunshen tried to turn around and exin, ¡°Big Brother, it¡¯s not what you think. I didn¡¯t push her. She was careless¡­ Ah!!¡± Before he could turn around, Jiang Yanshen kicked his butt ruthlessly. ¡°Jiang Yunshen, you¡¯re courting death.¡± Tiang Yunshen¡¯s butt was caught off guard and he lost his bnce. His head hit the hard wall again, and he was in so much pain that he saw stars and tears were about to fall. ¡°Big Brother, I really didn¡¯t¡­¡± Unfortunately¡­ Jiang Yanshen acted as if he didn¡¯t hear anything and carried Lin Qingqian away. He had no intention of listening to his exnation. Jiang Yunshen squatted on the ground and couldn¡¯t stand up for a while. As he rubbed his legs, he couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°Lin Qingqian, I¡¯m not done with you¡­ ¡± Nothing good wille out of meeting you!! Jiang Yanshen carried Lin Qingqian into the car, told the driver the location, and got the chauffeur to bring up the privacy barrier. As Lin Qingqiany in his arms, her flushed face pressed against his chest. His slender fingers gently swept the strands of hair covering her face away as his greedy eyes stared at the sleeping person in his arms. His thin lips slowly curled up..

When Madam Jiang saw the woman in his arms, her expression changed instantly. ¡°Why did you bring this woman back?¡± Jiang Yanshen acted as if he didn¡¯t hear anything and walked towards the stairs. Madam Jiang refused to give up. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m talking to you.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks. He turned around and nced at her coldly with his pitch-ck eyes. His voice was cold. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that someone will be anxious if you don¡¯t leave now?¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s expression changed, and there was even a hint of guilt in her eyes. ¡°You¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen had no intention of paying attention to her at all. He only instructed the servants to bring the hangover tea up and walked upstairs. Madam Jiang looked at his back with hatred in her eyes. In the end, she turned around and left. She didn¡¯t return for the entire night. Jiang Yanshen carried Lin Qingqian back to his bedroom and carefully ced her on the bed. He bent down to help her take off her shoes and covered her with the nket. Lin Qingqian was in a deep sleep and did not wake up the entire time. Jiang Yanshen sat by the bed and looked at her. He reached out to help her tidy her messy hair, revealing her upright facial features. He suddenly realized that her delicate face was not even as big as his palm. ¡°It seems like you can live a good life even without me¡­¡± How happy must she have been to have drunk so much? He couldn¡¯t understand such a feeling because he would lose control before he got drunk¡­ His fingertips were like a feather as they gently swept across her petite face. It was red and cute, somethinz he had never realized before. His Adam¡¯s apple bobbed involuntarily, and his dark eyes locked onto her lightly pursed lips. Restrain, restrain, restrain again¡­ The heat in his ck eyes was like a volcano erupting withva surging down uncontrobly. In the end, rationality could not resist her sweetness. Just like a vampire who could not resist the temptation of blood, he leaned forward and was about to approach¡­ ¡ªKnock, knock. The knock on the door pulled him back to his senses. Just as he was about to sit up, two slender arms suddenly wrapped around his neck¡­ Jiang Yanshen was instantly stunned. He turned around and met a pair of bright eyes. Lin Qingqian raised her head and kissed his thin lips. Her soft voice saidzily, ¡°You¡¯re finally back.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s entire body froze, not daring to move. He even held his breath, afraid that this scene would shatter in the blink of an eye. ¡ªKnock, knock. The knock on the door sounded again, apanied by the servant¡¯s voice. ¡°Young Master, the hangover tea is ready. ¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Did you drink?¡± Without waiting for Jiang Yanshen to answer, she turned around and said, ¡°Wait for me.¡± Lin Qingqian let go of his neck, got up by herself, and lifted the nket¡­ Only then did Jiang Yanshen react. He held her hand and looked at her with burning eyes. His voice was hoarse. ¡®What are you doing? ¡°To serve you hangover tea.¡± After Lin Qingqian¡¯s soft voice answered, she muttered, ¡°But I thought you don¡¯t drink?¡± Jiang Yanshen held her shoulders and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and blinked at him¡­ Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and got up to open the door to take the hangover tea before closing the door. The servant didn¡¯t even see a second of the scene in the room. He turned around and saw that she had already lifted the nket and was about to get up. ¡°What are you going to do now?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll run you a bath.¡± Lin Qingqian stood up, and in an instant, the entire world spun. Her entire body was like jelly, and she was about to fall to the ground.. Chapter 159 - 159: I Just… Really, Really Like You Chapter 159: I Just¡­ Really, Really Like You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen quickly grabbed her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. His voice was tense. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Lin Qingqian instinctively hugged his waist with both hands. Her eyelids were half-closed as she muttered to herself, ¡°So strange. Is it an earthquake? I feel like the entire world is shaking. I¡¯m so dizzy.¡± Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on her waist involuntarily and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s not an earthquake. You¡¯re drunk.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him with narrowed eves and smiled. ¡°Am I drunk? How is that possible? I¡¯m the God of Wine of Yushan. How can I be drunk! ¡± She raised her chin proudly. ¡°Yushan¡­ God of Wine?¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear you mention it before?¡± He did not even know that she was good at drinking. ¡°Shh!¡± She ced her index finger on her lips and said mysteriously, ¡°Let me tell you a secret. I¡¯ve been drinking since I was seven or eight years old. Beer, rice wine, soju¡­ Grandpa took me to drink all of them. I¡¯ve been drinking since I was young. ¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± She started drinking at the age of seven or eight. This Old Master Lin was really scheming. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you another secret.¡± Lin Qingqian leaned in his arms like a coquettish kitten. As she spoke, she even wanted to rub her head against his chest. ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows, curious about what else he didn¡¯t know. ¡°Grandpa brewed a jar of wine for me and buried it under the big tree outside my house. He said that he would dig it out for me to drink on the day of my marriage.¡± Lin Qingqian hugged his waist with both hands, her body still swaying. She said coquettishly in a soft voice, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, can you not be angry with me? I didn¡¯t deliberately lie to you with Grandma¡­ I just¡­ really, really like you.¡± Her voice became softer and softer, and thest sound was almost as soft as a mosquito. But Jiang Yanshen still heard it. His left heart beat wildly uncontrobly, and his gaze on her became hotter. so¡­ Did she think that this was the time when they had just registered their marriage? He remembered that he was very busy at that time. He did not seem to have returned to the Jiang family much, nor did he see her much. Even their wedding night was dyed until half a yearter¡­ ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t be angry with me, okay?¡± Her soft voice was low and pleading. Jiang Yanshen remembered that night. She seemed to have lowered her eyes like this and apologized carefully. However, she had taken a shower that night and was wearing a pink nightgown, so he couldn¡¯t help but¡­ His breathing became heavier for some reason. He lowered his head and his dark eyes were filled with warmth. He then said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m not angry. Drink the hangover tea first.¡± If she didn¡¯t drink it now, it would get cold. Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and brought the cup to her mouth. Lin Qingqian was about to open her mouth when she suddenly thought of something and said, ¡°Why am I the one drinking? Didn¡¯t you drink?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® She looked even smarter when she was drunk. ¡°Be good and drink the hangover tea. This way I won¡¯t be angry anymore.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll drink it.¡± Lin Qingqian held the cup with both hands and finished it in one go. Her brows were knitted together as she stuck out her tongue and fanned herself with her hand. ¡°It¡¯s so bitter, so bitter¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and turned his head to see her cute appearance. The ice in his eyes melted. ¡°Is it that bitter?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and looked at him aggrievedly. ¡°It¡¯s so bitter.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her red lips with a burning gaze. ¡°How bitter?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to describe it. I¡¯ll taste it myself¡­¡¯ As soon as he finished speaking, the man lowered his head and pressed his dry lips against hers..

She felt as if the entire world had stopped. Everything was in the void, and she didn¡¯t even know what had happened. Until she heard a low and hoarse voice. ¡°Qianqian, exhale¡­¡± Lin Qingqian slowly opened her eyes and saw the man¡¯s handsome face. It was the face that she yearned for. She took a few breaths and hugged his waist tightly, panting as she spoke. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t be angry. I won¡¯t pester you to go with me anymore. I¡¯ll wait for you at home obediently. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned again¡­ Lin Qingqian still lowered her head and continued to apologize. ¡°I really won¡¯t call and harass you anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly as he vaguely remembered that he wasn¡¯t in Lan City for a while back then. She had called every day, and when he came back, his tone was very heavy. ¡°I¡¯m just not sure if you¡¯re safe. I¡¯m also afraid¡­ that you¡¯ll fall for another woman outside¡­¡¯ It turned out that at that time, she just wanted to make sure he was safe. She was just¡­ worried that he had someone else outside. But why didn¡¯t you say so at the time? It seemed like he did not give her a chance to say anything. He pressed her down on the bed and taught her a lesson. In the end, her voice was hoarse from crying. At the thought of this, Jiang Yanshen felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. His warm palmnded on her head, and his voice was low and gentle. ¡°I¡¯m not angry. I won¡¯t be angry with you ever again in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded, his low voice mixed with a hint of coaxing. ¡°I don¡¯t like anyone else other than you, and I won¡¯t in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lips and revealed a satisfied and silly smile. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re so nice¡­¡± A faint smile appeared on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips. His slender fingers were like ab gently weaving through her soft hair. ¡°Am I nice? If I¡¯m really nice, why did you divorce me?¡± Lin Qingqian immediately snorted and hugged his neck tightly. ¡°I don¡¯t want to divorce you, I won¡¯t divorce you¡­¡± She looked at the man, her blurry eyes filled with admiration. She said in a soft voice, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, do you know? From the first time I saw you in the Jiang family¡¯s greenhouse, the moment you smiled at me, I already fell for you¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and even the smile on his lips froze. He lowered his head to look at her, and his dark eyes were like turbulent waves under the calm sea¡ª Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes andpletely didn¡¯t notice his abnormality. She held his face with both hands and tiptoed to kiss his lips¡­ As she kissed him, she confessed, ¡°I like you. I really like you¡­¡± The next day, Lin Qingqian slowly opened her eyes. The unfamiliar environment shocked her. She sat up and realized that she seemed to be¡­ in the Jiang Residence! Why was she in the Jiang family residence? Before she could figure it out, she realized something even more serious¡­ The clothes she was wearing were not the clothes she wore yesterday, but¡­ pajamas!! What exactly happenedst night? She couldn¡¯t help but facepalm. It had been too long since shest drank. She would always get drunk when she was happy. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± A low and cold voice suddenly came from the door. Lin Qingqian looked up and saw the neatly dressed Jiang Yanshen standing at the door. As usual, there was no emotion on his exquisite facial features. She subconsciously pulled the nket over her shoulders, looking a little hesitant. ¡°Last night¡­¡¯ ¡°You drank too much and fell asleep in the hallway.¡± ¡°Then my clothes¡­¡± Chapter 161 - 161: Don’t You Know? Chapter 161: Don¡¯t You Know? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°The servant changed it.¡± His words were concise, as if he was unwilling to say a single word more. Lin Qingqian pursed her dry lips. Just as she was about to ask another question, the man lowered his eyes and said in a slightly cold tone, ¡°Your clothes are in the closet. After you wash up,e down for breakfast.¡± With that, he turned around and walked out of the room. Lin Qingqian: Her clothes were neatly hung in the closet. In the bathroom, her cup of water and toothbrush were ced in their original positions, as if she had never left. Lin Qingqian changed into a beige fluffy shirt and matched it with a khaki dress before she went downstairs. When she came down, she saw Jiang Yunshen already sitting at the dining table. When Jiang Yunshen saw her, he clearly snorted to express his displeasure. Lin Qingqian walked a few steps closer and saw a bump the size of a pigeon¡¯s egg on his forehead. Her brows moved slightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your head?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yunshen raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and carefully recalled what happenedst night. ¡°I helped you chase away the white lotusst night and it¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t thank me, but you even pushed me.¡± The man holding the coffee paused, and his ck eyes shot towards Jiang Yunshen like sharp des. Jiang Yunshen was fuming with anger. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t nder me. You were the one who fellst night after drinking too much. I wanted to hold you but I ended up getting beaten by my brother!¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and asked suspiciously, ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Jiang Yunshen gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You took advantage of mest night and called yourself my girlfriend. You actually asked me to call you baby. How shameless.¡± ¡ªBang! Jiang Yanshen ced the coffee cup in his hand heavily on the cup and te, making a crisp clinking sound. He looked at Jiang Yunshen with his dark eyes, stood up, and said calmly, ¡°Eat breakfast first. You,e up with me.¡± The second half of the sentence was directed at Jiang Yunshen. Jiang Yunshen felt an inexplicable chill down his spine, and his teeth chattered. ¡°Brother, I, I haven¡¯t eaten breakfast, I¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen turned around and shot him a cold gaze. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± He stood up and walked towards the stairs, resigned to his fate. His footsteps were so heavy that it was as if he was going to visit a grave. Lin Qingqian watched as the two brothers went upstairs. Her mind was filled with questions. What exactly happenedst night? And where¡¯s my phone and handbag? Halfway through Lin Qingqian¡¯s breakfast, Jiang Yanshen strode downstairs with his long legs, buttoning his cufflinks as he walked. Lin Qingqian saw that Jiang Yunshen was not following behind him and was a little puzzled. ¡°Where¡¯s Jiang Yunshen?¡± Jiang Yanshen sat down again with a calm expression. He replied calmly, ¡°He¡¯s sleepy, so he went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and continued eating her breakfast. She wanted to ask about what happenedst night, but she didn¡¯t know how to start. If she did something very overboard, wouldn¡¯t it be even more awkward for Jiang Yanshen to say it? She might as well not ask. ¡°Um¡­ my phone and handbag?¡± Putting down the cutlery, she pursed her lips and asked carefully. Jiang Yanshen ced her phone in front of the dining table from his pocket and pursed his thin lips. ¡°When I brought you backst night, you only had your cell phone with you.¡± Lin Qingqian took the cell phone and pursed her lips. ¡°Thank you forst night. I¡¯ll wash the clothes and return them to youter.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything.. His long eyshes fluttered and his dark eyes looked at her without blinking..

Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian held her breath. What did that look mean? The air was filled with tranquility and affection, making her face inexplicably hot. Nothing happenedst night, so why did she feel inexplicably flustered when Jiang Yanshen was staring at her? Just as Lin Qingqian thought about how to break the strange atmosphere. The man pursed his thin lips. ¡°You¡¯re going back to thepany?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Mm.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get the chauffeur to send you.¡± Before she could say anything, she heard the man¡¯s deep voice. ¡°Your cell phone is out of battery.¡± Lin Qingqian: She did not have her handbag and her cell phone was out of battery. She was penniless so she wouldn¡¯t even be able to hail a taxi. ¡°Thank you.¡± She had to ept this favor. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were burning, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re wee. The medicinal pillow is very useful!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression froze. ¡°¡­¡± Lu Qinshang, f*ck you!!! In the gym on the second floor, Jiang Yunshen, who had a swollen face, cursed as he supported himself against the wall. ¡°Lin Qingqian, f*ck you!!¡± In the cafeteria, Jiang Yanshen held a cold coffee cup in his hand and downed it in one gulp as his lowered eyshes hid his cold gaze. The moment Lin Qingqian entered thepany, a tall figure approached her. His gentle voice could not hide his worry. ¡°Director Lin, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. Seeing that Han Liubai didn¡¯t look too good, she asked with concern, ¡°Xiao Bai, are you alright? If you¡¯re not feeling well, you can go back and rest.¡± Han Liubai moved his lips and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Sister Qingqian, where did you gost night? We looked for you all night. Designer Han was so worried about you that he didn¡¯t sleep all night.¡± Su Ying added softly. Surprise shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. No wonder he looked so pale. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Han Liubai said warmly. Lin Qingqian felt a little guilty. ¡°Xiao Bai, quickly go back and rest. Anyway, there aren¡¯t many activities these two days. I can handle them myself.¡± Han Liubai was just about to say that there was no need when Lin Qingqian continued, ¡°This is the boss¡¯s order.¡± He swallowed the words he was about to say and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. ¡°Alright, call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Lin Qingqian watched Han Liubai get into the car and turned around to meet Su Ying¡¯s probing gaze. Worried that she would ask about what happenedst night, she immediately found an excuse to slip back to the office. As for the others, they had drunk too muchst night and had yet toe to work. In an office in Lan City¡¯s business district. The curtains were drawn tightly, and there was a French window in the room. Orange light illuminated the outline of the room. The man did not lie down on the recliner. Instead, he lowered his head as if he was thinking about something. Shen Zhiwei handed him a ss of water. She nced at the needle hole on his arm that was bleeding. The man seemed to be unaware. ¡°You¡¯ve been using drugs more and more frequently recently. At this rate, your body will soon develop a resistance to the drugs.¡± Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on the cup silently. He pursed his dry lips and said with difficulty, ¡°She¡¯s seen him.¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned. ¡°You told her?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and didn¡¯t look at her, as if he was talking to himself. ¡°So¡­ she¡¯s already seen him.¡± The corners of his lips curled up into a self-deprecating smile. Shen Zhiwei didn¡¯t understand what he meant. She said in a clear voice, ¡°Director Jiang, control your emotions. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to do anything in the end.¡± His thin lips were pursed into an emotionless line and he did not say a word. His cell phone suddenly rang¡­ Chapter 163 - 163: Happy New Year, Xiao Bai Chapter 163: Happy New Year, Xiao Bai Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions It was Lu Yuan. Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and picked up the call. His brows furrowed tighter and tighter. His throat rolled a few times before he finally said, ¡°I understand¡­ After ending the call, he got up and rolled down his sleeves. He picked up his suit jacket and was about to leave. Shen Zhiwei stood up to send him off. However, she swallowed her words in the end. Once a person had an obsession, everything would be bitter. No matter how much she said, it would be useless. Everything was bitter, and he had to ovee it himself. It was already the end of the year. Other than the New Year¡¯s Eve banquets of the major satellite channels, there were no other major events at the Spring Festival G. The celebrities Shi Guang Studio coborated with did not appear at the Spring Festival G. The g on the satellite channel was recorded and after it ended, Lin Qingqian arranged for a break. Lin Qingqian also received a call from Lin Chaoyan, asking if she was going back for the New Year. Ever since she married Jiang Yanshen, she has spent the Spring Festival in Lan City every year. Old Madam Jiang would give her red packet money during the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner before going back to rest. Jiang Yanshen would always return to the study to work after the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner every year, while Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu went out to y. Hence, she was always alone and didn¡¯t even have anyone to talk to. Now that she had already divorced Jiang Yanshen, she naturally didn¡¯t have to stay in Lan City for the new year. Thus, she readily promised her Auntie that she¡¯d return to Yushan for the new year. It was difficult to snatch a ne ticket for the Lunar New Year but Lin Qingqian managed to book a flight for the 29th of December. On the 29th, she packed her things and went to the office in the morning to deal with some work. However, when she pushed open the door, she saw Han Liubaiing out to pour water. ¡°Xiao Bai, why didn¡¯t you go back for the new year?¡± Lin Qingqian asked in surprise. Han Liubai replied, ¡°My parents are not around anymore. There aren¡¯t many people at home. Besides, I¡¯ve been overseas all this time so I don¡¯t have any feelings about the holidays in China.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°I see¡­¡± After thinking for a moment, she bent down and took out a Chinese red scarf from her luggage. She opened it and stood on her tiptoes to put it around his neck. Then, she casually wrapped it around him. Han Liubai¡¯s skin was very fair. The red scarf made his skin look even fairer. His mouth and nose were covered, revealing a pair of pitch-ck eyes that looked at her clearly. ¡°This is our custom. We must wear a little red durinz the New Year, be it red scarves, gloves, or clothes.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curved into a bridge as she said happily, ¡°Xiao Bai, Happy New Year.¡± Han Liubai touched the soft scarf and pulled it down. He smiled and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Director Lin, Happy New Year.¡± After Lin Qingqian packed her things and settled her matters, she and Han Liubai went to the cafeteria next door for lunch. When Han Liubai found out that she was going to the airport, he kindly wanted to send her off. Lin Qingqian declined politely. ¡°I¡¯ve called for a car. You should hurry home for the new year too. I won¡¯t give you a raise even if you work so hard.¡± Han Liubai smiled and agreed gently. Lin Qingqian then got into the car and waved him goodbye. Han Liubai watched the car drive away and disappear from his sight. When he turned around, he saw a car parked by the roadside not far away. The car window was half lowered, revealing a man¡¯s eagle-like eyes, cold and sharp. The smile on his lips grew wider, but there was no gentleness in it. His slender and good-looking fingers gathered the scarf around his neck, and his smiling eyes looked like they were filled with provocation as he nced at the man in the car. Then, he turned around and got into a ck Cayenne. Lin Qingqian took a three-hour flight and took two buses before finally arriving at Yushan when night fell. Lin Chaoyan stood at the door and craned her neck to look around. When she saw Lin Qingqian, she immediately went forward to wee her. ¡°Aiyo, you¡¯re finally willing toe back..¡± Chapter 164 - 164: Why Are You Using My Photo As Your Profile Picture? Chapter 164: Why Are You Using My Photo As Your Profile Picture? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian handed over her luggages and instantly felt more rxed. ¡°Auntie, you know how difficult it is to get flight tickets during the Spring Festival.¡± As Lin Chaoyan led her home, she scolded, ¡°If you know it¡¯s difficult to obtain one, why didn¡¯t youe back earlier?¡± ¡°I have to work, right?¡± Lin Qingqian whined from behind. ¡°I can¡¯t possibly leave apany behind and run back first, right?¡± Lin Chaoyan eximed, ¡°You¡¯re the big boss now. Auntie can¡¯t even say anything about you.¡± Lin Qingqian: Alright, the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. In this case, she might as well not say anything. Although Lin Chaoyan scolded her, her heart still doted on her. She put down her luggage and asked her to wash her hands while she cooked. At night, the two of them made a table full of dishes, and they were all Lin Qingqian¡¯s favorites. After dinner, Lin Qingqian wanted to help her wash the dishes but Lin Chaoyan despised her for not knowing how and chased her out of the kitchen. Therefore, Lin Qingqian could only go and unpack her luggage. After Lin Lin Chaoyan scolded her for spending money recklessly while putting on the new clothes but with Lin Qingqian¡¯s ttery, she couldn¡¯t stop smiling. As Lin Chaoyan was afraid of dirtying her new clothes, she quickly took them off after trying them on. As she tidied up, she instructed, ¡°Tomorrow morning,e with me to pay respects to the Old Master and your parents. Tell them about your divorce too. Don¡¯t let them worry about you.¡± At the mention of the deceased, the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face faded a little. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°I think you¡¯re tired too. The hot water is ready for you. Hurry up and wash up and rest early.¡± Lin Chaoyan took her things and returned to her room. The door closed and Lin Qingqian turned around to look at the ce where she grew up. Although she had left this ce for a few years, the room was still the same as before. There was no moldy dust at all. It was obvious that Auntie cleaned it every day. She took out her phone, took a photo, and posted it on her Moments. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: It feels so good to be home After posting on her Moments, she put down her phone and went to wash up. When she came back, she changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed. She turned on her cell phone and saw that many people had liked andmented on it. Lan City¡¯s Number One Handsome: Lin Qingqian, which corner did you go to hide in? You won¡¯t bring a nest of rats back, right?! Lin Qingqian replied: Scram! Luo Tianxue: Qingqian, are you in the countryside? Are the conditions tough? Why don¡¯t I send a chauffeur to pick you up? I¡¯ll bring you to celebrate the new year in style! Lin Qingqian replied: Thank you, but there¡¯s no need. Han Liubai: It¡¯s good that you¡¯re home safely. Lin Qingqian replied with a smile. She didn¡¯t reply to Suisui and Yingzi¡¯sments. There were more people who liked her post, but one of them caught Lin Qingqian¡¯s attention. Because the profile picture was a selfie of herself! She clicked on it and saw the information¡ªJiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian: ¡® After hesitating for a moment, she couldn¡¯t help but send a message. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: ? After waiting for about two minutes, Jiang Yanshen replied: ? Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Why are you using my photo as your profile picture? Jiang Yanshen: It looks nice. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: This¡­ isn¡¯t good, right? Jiang Yanshen: I can¡¯t be bothered to change it. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard was speechless. Jiang Yanshen: You¡¯re home? Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Yes. After sending the message for a long time, there was no reply. Lin Qingqian waited gloomily and fell asleep. The next morning, Lin Chaoyan came to lift the nket and wake her up. After breakfast, she was going to pay her respects to the Old Master.. Chapter 165 - 165: A Jar of Wine Buried Under the Old Locust Tree Chapter 165: A Jar of Wine Buried Under the Old Locust Tree Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Yushan was located in a remote area, unlike the city which had a cemetery. When the people here passed away, they would be carried up the mountain to be buried. If the conditions were good, they would erect a monument. If the conditions were not good, there might be just a pile of soil. Lin Yuanshan and Lin Qingqian¡¯s parents were buried under a pine tree halfway up the mountain. Back then, it was Old Madam Jiang who came to ask someone to erect the monument. After a few years of wind and rain, the words on the tombstone were a little blurry. After Lin Chaoyan offered incense and paper money to the Old Master and Lin Qingqian¡¯s parents, she left to allow Lin Qingqian to talk to them alone. Lin Qingqian actually didn¡¯t know what to say to them. She took out a wet towel from her pocket and wiped the three people¡¯s tombstones clean bit by bit. During this process, she acted as if she had already said what she wanted to say. Kneeling in front of the Old Master¡¯s tombstone, Lin Qingqian obediently kowtowed three times, her clear eyes shining with determination. ¡°Grandpa, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I¡¯m doing very well now. Although I¡¯m divorced, I¡¯ve found a new direction in my life. This time¡­¡± She paused for a moment before saying firmly, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you.¡± It was already noon when Lin Qingqian came down from the mountain. Lin Chaoyan had already prepared lunch and was eating casually. The main event would be the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner at night. She wanted to help, but Lin Chaoyan chased her away in disdain. When she had nothing to do, she thought of the jar of wine buried under the old locust tree in the courtyard. Then, Lin Qingqian went to the tool shed to find a shovel and started digging. Back then, the wine jar was buried by Grandpa. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t remember the location clearly, so she could only dig around the locust tree. It wasn¡¯t easy for her to dig it up, but Lin Chaoyan, who came out of the kitchen, saw it and scolded her. Lin Qingqian pulled out the wine jar from the pit. She didn¡¯t mind the dirt and hugged it in her arms. She smiled and said, ¡°Grandpa buried this jar of wine for me back then. Auntie, let¡¯s drink it tonight.¡± Lin Chaoyan nced at the thing in her arms and her expression changed slightly. As the Old Master¡¯s daughter, how could she not know what this jar of wine meant? Lin Qingqian was still smiling. ¡°Anyway, we won¡¯t need it in the future. Let¡¯s drink it.¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Save it for the future. ¡± With that, she returned to the kitchen with the spat. Lin Qingqian carried the wine jar into the house and took a tissue to wipe the soil off the jar. Her fingertips gently touched the cold wine jar. Her grandfather had left her so many blessings in this jar of wine. It would be a waste not to drink it. Lin Qingqian then took out her phone and took a photo, posting it on Weibo. Deep V: The blessings given by the deceased must be finished without a drop left. Happy New Year to everyone. After posting on Weibo, she left to help her aunt. In the afternoon, there were still people from the vige who came to visit. They said that they were here to visit, but in fact, they were here tough at Lin Qingqian. Everyone in the vige knew that Lin Qingqian was married to someone from the city, and that her inws had nevere even once. Since Lin Qingqian came back alone again this time, she inevitably became the center of gossip. But Lin Chaoyan scolded them one by one with a cold expression. She was so angry that her eyes were about to roll to the sky. Lin Qingqian on the other hand was not angry at all. She even gave the sweets she brought back from Lan City to the children in the vige to eat. This made Lin Chaoyan even angrier. ¡°Why do you care about those brats? A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. They won¡¯t be good people in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian tried to calm her instead. ¡°Auntie, they¡¯re just curious. It¡¯s nothing much. They¡¯ll find out about the divorce sooner orter anyway.¡± Women who got a divorce here were like vegetables that had been thrown into the trash can. Hence, Lin Chaoyan didn¡¯t tell anyone about Lin Qingqian¡¯s divorce after she came back. Now, no one in the vige knew that she was divorced yet.. Chapter 166 - 166: Worse Than a Dog’s Chapter 166: Worse Than a Dog¡¯s Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°What do you know?¡± Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her. ¡°It¡¯s not their ce to gossip about our Lin family¡¯s women!¡± Lin Qingqian did not defend herself. Most of the people living here were constrained to their traditional old ideas. If she bickered with them, she would be making things difficult for herself. She was not that stupid. From three to four in the afternoon, people in the vige started setting off firecrackers one after another. This meant that it was almost time for New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. Although there were only the two of them in the Lin family, Lin Chaoyan still prepared arge table of dishes. When it was almost dark, she hung the firecrackers she had carried back from the market on an old tree in the courtyard and lit them up. After the firecrackers were done, the two of them then went into the house for New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. Lin Qingqian poured the wine from the wine jar into the wine ss and clinked sses with her. ¡°Auntie, Happy New Year, and¡­ thank you.¡± Lin Chaoyan was a little embarrassed by her words. ¡°Aiyo, why are you saying this! You¡¯re making me shy!¡± After saying that, she took a big sip of wine and burped a few times. There was a table of dishes and a jar of wine. The two of them ate and drank. After three rounds of wine, Lin Chaoyan was a little tipsy. She said earnestly, ¡°Those people are short-sighted and have not been exposed to the outside world much. They don¡¯t know anything! What¡¯s wrong with a divorce? ¡°Divorces are the trend now. A woman can still live well if she divorces and leaves a man.¡± Lin Qingqian also drank until her face was red. She nodded. ¡°Auntie is right!¡± Lin Chaoyan took a sip of wine. After putting down the ss, she looked at her and sighed. ¡°You¡¯re the only one left in our Lin family. In the future, you have to open your eyes and find the right man. You can¡¯t let the Lin family have no descendants. Otherwise, even if I die, I won¡¯t have the face to see the Old Master in the underworld.¡± Hearing her say this, Lin Qingqian put down her chopsticks and said softly, ¡°Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about? The Lin family still has you.¡± Lin Chaoyan narrowed her eyes and waved her hand. ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know that I, Lin Chaoyan, was adopted by the Old Master? Back then, I didn¡¯t listen to the Old Master and insisted on eloping with that bastard. In the end¡­¡± At the mention of the past, Lin Chaoyan¡¯s eyes turned red and misty. Lin Chaoyan was a girl that Lin Yuanshan had adopted but Lin Yuanshan treated her as his own daughter. However, the little girl was young and insensible. She fell in love with a man from the neighboring vige who worked in the city. She followed him out of the vige as she wanted to live a good life and didn¡¯t want to stay in this small mountain for the rest of her life. In the end, after less than a month, she got pregnant and was tricked into getting an abortion. In the end, she was left abandoned in the hospital. She couldn¡¯t afford the medical fees and was eventually chased out. She had nowhere to go, not enough money to eat her fill and had nowhere to sleep. Her life was worse than a dog¡¯s. In the end, it was the Old Master who personally went to the city to fetch her back. However, everyone knew that she had run away with someone and was abandoned. Thus, no one was willing to marry her. During that period of time, the Lin family couldn¡¯t even raise their heads in Yushan and Lin Chaoyan even had thoughts of suicide. Old Master and Lin Qingqian¡¯s parents endured all the criticism and took care of her meticulously until Lin Qingqian was born. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mother¡¯s health was not good after giving birth to her, so the Old Master handed Lin Qingqian to Lin Chaoyan to take care of. He only let her mother take care of her when she was one year old and her health improved. At that time, Lin Chaoyan no longer had the thought of courting death. She only had an abortion and injured her body. She could no longer have children in her life, so she gave up the thought of getting married. After Lin Qingqian¡¯s parents died, she guarded Lin Qingqian and the Old Master. When the Old Master passed away and Lin Qingqian went to Lan City, she guarded the Lin Family alone. Lin Qingqian held her hand and said solemnly, ¡°You¡¯re my biological Auntie. I¡¯ll support you in your old age in the future and send you off..¡± Chapter 168 - 168: Dog of a Man, You Did It On Purpose, Right? Chapter 168: Dog of a Man, You Did It On Purpose, Right? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and smiled faintly. ¡°Okay.¡± The chicken soup in the pot boiled as Lin Qingqian threw the washed vegetables into the pot and they were cooked in a matter of seconds. The chicken soup looked extra delicious with mushrooms added. Lin Qingqian scooped a bowl of soup for him first. ¡°Eat something before you drink.¡± Jiang Yanshen obediently picked up the steaming soup bowl and said, ¡°Okay.¡± The night in the mountain vige was extremely cold. Although Lin Qingqian was full, her hands and feet were cold. Hence, she scooped a bowl of soup for herself and sat opposite him, taking small sips. Jiang Yanshen finished his soup and looked at her. ¡®Qianqian, Happy New Year.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before picking up Lin Chaoyan¡¯s unfinished wine ss and clinking it with his. ¡°Happy New Year.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his wine ss and continued eating. The two of them surrounded a hot pot and ate the hot dishes while drinking half a ss of wine. An hourter, the wine ss was empty, and Jiang Yanshen was almost done eating. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at the blushing woman opposite him. ¡°Thank you for your hospitality. This is the best New Year¡¯s Eve dinner I¡¯ve ever eaten.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you really don¡¯t know the hardships of the world.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t refute. ¡°Whether the food is delicious depends on who you eat it with.¡± He wanted to say this, but swallowed his words in the end. He was afraid that she would get annoyed and kick him out of the house. Lin Qingqian stood up to clean up the dishes and nced at the dark door. ¡°Song Qin and Lu Yuan didn¡¯te with you?¡± Jiang Yanshen shook his head. ¡°They went back for the New Year.¡± ¡°Then you¡­¡± How are you going to go back tonight? The second half of her sentence was stuck in her throat. Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes. His expression was calm and cautious. ¡°If it¡¯s not convenient, I can drive myself back.¡± Lin Qingqian: It would take an hour to drive from the vige to town. Coupled with the fact that the road was difficult to see in the dark, it might take longer. If it wasn¡¯t for the good atmosphere during the New Year, she really wanted to ask: Dog of a man, you did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you? ¡°The road isn¡¯t good. Don¡¯t drive. I¡¯ll tidy up Grandpa¡¯s room for you to stay inter. ¡± No matter what her rtionship with Jiang Yanshen was, he was still a guest. There¡¯s no way she¡¯d ask him to drive to town in the middle of the night under the influence of alcohol. It was too dangerous. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tightly knitted brows suddenly rxed, and his eyes burned. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian cleared the table as Jiang Yanshen stood in the living room and looked at theyout of the house. The furniture was handmade and looked very old. Although it was old, it was clean so it was not hard for him to ept. Lin Qingqian packed her things and went to her room to get a big ck cotton-padded jacket and a big firecracker. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°What are you nning to do?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°The custom here is to set off fireworks at midnight.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t understand these customs and therefore didn¡¯tment. He reached out to take the firecracker from her arms. ¡°Let me do it.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the heavy firecracker and his strong arms, and did not stand on ceremony with him. The two of them then went out together and walked up the path behind the house. After walking for about half an hour, they found an empty space and Lin Qingqian asked Jiang Yanshen to put down the firecracker. Lin Qingqian took out her phone from her pocket and saw that it was already 11:40 am. ¡°We have to wait 20 minutes.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yanshen asked her, ¡°Did you do this every year when you were young?¡± Lin Qingqian stuffed her hands into her pockets. Her teeth were chattering from the cold wind. ¡°That¡¯s right. When I was young and couldn¡¯t climb up, Grandpa would carry me up and then carry me down. Every time, I would fall asleep on Grandpa¡¯s back.¡± At the mention of the past, her tone unconsciously became gentle. In the darkness, Jiang Yanshen did not speak. After a moment of silence, Lin Qingqian suddenly could not feel the bone-piercing cold wind¡­ Chapter 169 - 169: Lin Qjngqian Looked Up at Him, Her Eyes Full of Tears. Chapter 169: Lin Qjngqian Looked Up at Him, Her Eyes Full of Tears. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the quiet night, a silver light suddenly flew into the air and exploded with a bang. The pitch-ck night was instantly illuminated. Lin Qingqian nced over and saw the man who was standing right in front of her. His hands were holding onto the open hem of his coat like a wall blocking the bone-chilling wind from reaching her. There was no emotion on the man¡¯s exquisite face. His deep eyes looked at the fireworks in the night sky. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened, and a warmth surged from the deepest part of her heart into her limbs and bones. Her throat tightened, and she didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t notice her abnormality and asked calmly, ¡°It¡¯s already midnight?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her cell phone. The screen showed 11:57 PM. ¡°There are still three minutes left but some people will set it off in advance.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and looked at her with burning eyes. Lin Qingqian, whose limbs were ice-cold in the sub-zero weather, felt her face heat up inexplicably. She turned her head away to avoid his gaze. ¡°I¡¯m not cold. You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Jiang Yanshen blinked, his expression unchanged. ¡°I¡¯m feeling hot from the drinking.¡± Lin Qingqian: 11:59 PM. Lin Qingqian took out a lighter from her pocket and walked up to the firecracker. She bent down and lit the fuse before quickly running back. The moment the fuse was burned out, the silver light shot into the night sky, scattering in all directions with a loud bang. The colorful fireworks lit up her exquisite face in the dark night and lit up the fire in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart which made his eyes burn even more. When the bell rang in the distance, Lin Qingqian turned her head and said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, Happy New Year.¡± She was stunned after saying that. His gaze was so hot that it seemed to be able to burn a hole in her heart in the cold night. The moment her eyshes were caressed by the cold wind, Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her lips. After a short second, he quickly took a step back and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I couldn¡¯t hold it in for a moment.¡± His cold brows were tightly knitted, and he was as frustrated as a child who had made a mistake. Lin Qingqian held her breath and felt the residual warmth on her lips. She couldn¡¯t tell whose alcohol smell it was. It was as if the burning phosphorus powder had exploded in her mind, and her mind became nk. It¡¯s just that many memories had gradually reappeared in her mind just now. ¡°I just¡­ really, really like you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just not sure if you¡¯re safe. I¡¯m also afraid¡­ that you¡¯ll fall for another woman outside¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want a divorce, I won¡¯t divorce you¡­ ¡°I really, really like you.¡± Seeing that her face was gradually turning pale, Jiang Yanshen panicked. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be afraid. I didn¡¯t lose control¡­ and I won¡¯t hurt you.¡± He raised his arm and wanted to touch her shoulder with his fingertips but they froze in midair for a moment before retracting slowly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s rationality was pulled back. She looked at the handsome and helpless man in front of her in a daze. There was an indescribable emotion umting in her chest but she suppressed it¡­ She even felt an indescribable sense of guilt. She turned around and ran down. Jiang Yanshen reacted and hurriedly followed her. His low and hoarse voice was filled with worry. ¡°Qianqian, slow down¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Qingqian twisted her left leg and fell to the ground. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pupils constricted fiercely, and hurriedly squatted down. ¡°How are you? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?¡± He was probably really worried and said, ¡°Why were you running away? Who knows how dangerous the road is in the dark? I already said¡­¡± His voice stopped abruptly. Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her eyes full of tears.. Chapter 170 - 170: Is It Too Late to Die Now? Chapter 170: Is It Too Late to Die Now? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart ached because of her tears. The anger on his face faded and his heart ached. He coaxed her gently, ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Tell me if you feel ufortable, okay?¡± It would have been better if he hadn¡¯t said anything. The moment he opened his mouth, the tears that Lin Qingqian had locked in her eyes couldn¡¯t help but flow out. Her tears fell fiercely and heavily, as if they were thousands of kilograms of stones that smashed into Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart. The man¡¯s cold and slender fingers gently wiped away the tears on her face. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t cry, don¡¯t cry¡­¡± As he spoke in a low and hoarse voice, his long arms couldn¡¯t help but reach out and pull her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. His actions were intimate and familiar. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what was going on either. Her mind was nk, and her tears flowed uncontrobly like a broken tap. Her nose was filled with his refreshing fragrance and the faint smell of alcohol. Everything in the past shed through her mind like scenes in a movie. There was sweetness, joy, bitterness, pain, and shame. She thought that she could cut off all ties with this man soberly andpletely dig him out of her heart, but she did not expect to be beaten back to her original state by a mere bottle of alcohol. It was a habit that had been deeply rooted in her bones for seven years. Her subconscious and instinct were not something that she could wash away with just a few ruthless words or actions. In front of Jiang Yanshen, she could only y the role of a clown forever. Just thinking about it made her despair, and her tears fell even more fiercely. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t know that she was thinking about what happened that night. Seeing that she kept crying, he coaxed her with all the gentleness in his life. Then, he wiped her tears patiently. Lin Qingqian cried until she had no strength left in her body and couldn¡¯t speak. The temperature was getting colder and colder. Jiang Yanshen was afraid that she would catch a cold and fall sick, so he quickly carried her inside. Along the way, Lin Qingqian leaned on his back and looked at the colorful fireworks above her head. Her teary eyes swept over the steep slope at the side and she thought: Is it toote to die now? Jiang Yanshen carefully ced her on the rattan chair, turned around, and squatted down. His dark eyes carefully scanned her arms and feet. ¡°Where does it hurt? Tell me, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian was no longer crying, but her eyes were as red as a rabbit. She sniffed and shook her head. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t believe her and grabbed her left foot. Lin Qingqian was shocked and wanted to break free, but he held her even tighter. Jiang Yanshen took off her short boots and socks and saw that her ankle was red and swollen. His cold brows were tightly furrowed. ¡°Is there medicine at home?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°There¡¯s safflower oil in the cab.¡± She pointed at the cab in the living room. Jiang Yanshen stood up and walked over. He pulled open the old cab door and found a bottle of safflower oil. He turned around and squatted in front of her. He then poured some safflower oil into his palm and rubbed it to warm it. Then, he pressed his hands on her ankle. Lin Qingqian was in so much pain that she wanted to retract her foot but Jiang Yanshen immediately grabbed her calf. ¡°Bear with it, or it will swell even more tomorrow.¡± His dark eyes looked up at her with warmth. Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly, and she bit her lower lip tightly. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t want to exert force, but in order to make her suffer less tomorrow, he still hardened his heart and massaged her hard. The palm that was stained with safflower oil rubbed her ankle with moderate strength. The heat from the friction made Lin Qingqian involuntarily choke up. On one side was the pain in her ankle, and on the other side was an unknown emotion that coiled around her heart. Half an hourter, Jiang Yanshen helped her put on her socks and shoes. ¡°Don¡¯t strain your left foot in the meantime. It should be fine tomorrow.¡± Lin Qingqian sniffled and thanked him gloomily. She held the armrest of the chair and got up. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly.. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Chapter 171 - 171: That Night… Chapter 171: That Night¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian nced at him. ¡°Going to make your bed.¡± ¡®Otherwise, would you sleep in a pigsty?¡¯ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered. In the next second, he bent down and picked her up horizontally. When Lin Qingqian reacted, she was already in his arms. The man¡¯s deep voice rang in her ears. ¡°Where¡¯s the room? I¡¯ll carry you there.¡± Her fair fingertips pointed to the back door. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s room was in front while her grandfather¡¯s room and her room were in the backyard. Jiang Yanshen then carried her into the backyard. There was another row of rooms behind, about three rooms. Lin Qingqian pointed to the middle room so Jiang Yanshen carried her in and turned on the lights. The cheap gasmp emitted a dim light, illuminating the room. There was a red wooden table, a chair, and a wooden bed. Other than the two quilts, there was nothing else. Seeing that the chair was rtively clean, Jiang Yanshen ced her carefully on the chair. ¡°Where are the bedsheets?¡± Lin Qingqian pointed at the cab on the desk. Jiang Yanshen opened it and saw a few bed covers inside. He casually took the top set. The cover was bright red with begonia flowers printed on it. In the middle of the cover was a word: Happiness! Lin Qingqian saw that his expression was strange and bit her lip. ¡°Auntie bought it when we registered our marriage. It has always been at home and wasn¡¯t used. This time, I specially washed it and prepared it as a backup.¡± In other words, if he didn¡¯t use this set, he would not have any bedsheets. After hearing her words, Jiang Yanshen lowered his head to look at the bedsheets in his hand. It was unknown what he was thinking, but his Adam¡¯s apple couldn¡¯t help but move a few times. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Why don¡¯t¡­ I take off my bedsheets for you to use?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°No need.¡± He turned around and walked to the bed to make it. His movements did not look practiced, but it was passable. Even though this man was in the most impoverished environment, every move he made exuded an innate nobility. Jiang Yanshen barely tidied up the bedsheets and pillow cover. He couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°Why is there only one pillow?¡± The pillowcase was also bright red, with the word ¡®happiness¡¯ printed on it. Lin Qingqian: ¡°My grandfather has been single for many years, so of course he only has one pillow.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s frown deepened, especially since he was holding another red pillow case. Lin Qingqian saw that his expression wasn¡¯t good and hesitated for a moment. ¡°Why don¡¯t I give you my pillow?¡± ¡°No need!¡± After saying that, Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and folded it quickly. Then, he stuffed it into the pillowcase and ced it beside the pillow. Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® Looking at the two pillows neatly ced together, she felt a littleplicated. ¡°Rest early. I¡¯ll go back and rest too.¡± Just as she got up, the man was already standing in front of her. He picked her up again and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll carry you there.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s room was just beside his room. Her room had an extra bookcase and a new closet unlike her grandpa¡¯s. Lin Chaoyan had bought them for her this year. Jiang Yanshen walked to the bed and carefully carried her down. He casually nced around and said in a low voice, ¡°Call me anytime if there¡¯s need.¡± With that, he turned around and walked out as though he had no intention of pestering her. Lin Qingqian nced at his back view as he walked to the door and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± His tall figure paused and he turned around to look at her. Her little face, which was immersed in the dim light, was filled withplicated and uneasy emotions. Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, her voice muffled.. ¡°That night¡­¡± Chapter 172 - 172: Do You Have Any Shame? Chapter 172: Do You Have Any Shame? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions She wanted to say something but hesitated. Her clear eyes were filled with struggle andplexity as she looked at him. Jiang Yanshen was so smart that he saw through her thoughts at a nce. He turned around and sat on her bed. ¡°You said you wouldn¡¯t like anyone else or remarry. You¡¯re not lying to me, are you?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. The man¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was low and deep. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to return to my side, I won¡¯t force you. If you don¡¯t like me getting close to you, I can stand far away. I can guarantee that what happened tonight won¡¯t happen again, but¡ª¡± His voice stopped. When he looked at her, his eyes were shining as he said firmly, ¡°But don¡¯t be afraid of me. Don¡¯t be too far away from me. Stay where I can see you, okay?¡± He enunciated thest two words very softly, almost removing all his pride, self-esteem, and even lowering his head to beg her. Lin Qingqian held her breath and looked at him in a daze. She had never thought that he would say such a thing one day. It was just so that he could still be in her life. Jiang Yanshen took out a velvet box from the pocket of his suit and ced it on the head of her bed. He stared at her with teary eyes and stood up to leave the room. Lin Qingqian sat in a daze for a while before bending down to take the velvet box at the head of the bed. After hesitating for a while, she opened the box. A diamond brooch was ced quietly in the shape of a letter¡ªQ. It wasn¡¯t so much a New Year¡¯s gift but more like a return gift for the brooch she¡¯d given himst time. Lin Qingqian closed the box and held it tightly with her fair fingers. She lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up with a shock. She sat up and quickly realized that it was because of a sound that came from next door. She didn¡¯t even have time to put on her clothes. She grabbed the white cotton-padded jacket that was hanging from the end of her bed and put it on before getting out of bed and walking out. The moment she pushed open the door, she sneezed in the bone-chilling wind. The house was now covered in snow. It had snowed at some pointst night, and now it was white all over the ce. It was blindingly bright. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t even have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery when she heard a voiceing from the room next door. ¡°B*stard surnamed Jiang! Do you have any shame?¡± ¡°You¡¯re shameless, but our Qingqian still wants to keep her face!¡± ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Lin Qingqian immediately walked over and was stunned when she pushed open the door. Lin Chaoyan stood at the end of the bed with one hand on her waist and the other holding a red-patterned pail. As for Jiang Yanshen¡ª Sitting on the bed, his head and face were covered in water. Even his thin shirt was drenched and stuck to his skin. The bed sheets and bedding were also drenched. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Auntie, do you have to be so ruthless? In this weather, she did not believe that Auntie would be kind enough to ssh him with warm water. Lin Chaoyan had a sullen expression on her face. She pointed at the door and said, ¡°Get lost quickly. Our Lin family doesn¡¯t wee you!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was covered in water droplets, and his lips were a little pale. He looked at Lin Qingqian obediently. It was as if as long as Lin Qingqian said a word, he would immediately leave like this. Lin Qingqian said hesitantly, ¡°Auntie¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her. ¡°I¡¯ll settle the score with youter.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Lin Chaoyan looked at Jiang Yanshen again. ¡°Are you leaving or not? If you don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll call the vigers to carry you out!¡± Jiang Yanshen still didn¡¯t say anything. He just turned his head away and coughed softly with his fingers clenched into a fist. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care if Lin Chaoyan was angry anymore. ¡°Auntie, go out first..¡± Chapter 173 - 173: Why Aren ‘t You Wearing Long Johns? Chapter 173: Why Aren ¡®t You Wearing Long Johns? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Chaoyan was about to re up when Lin Qingqian spoke first. ¡°Auntie, he¡¯s my guest!¡± No matter how unhappy Lin Chaoyan was, she couldn¡¯t disrespect Lin Qingqian¡¯s wishes. In the end, she just red at Jiang Yanshen and turned to leave the room. Lin Qingqian immediately took out a clean towel and handed it to him to wipe his face. ¡°Are you alright? I¡¯ll go get Grandpa¡¯s clothes for you¡­¡± As she turned around, she suddenly felt a force on her wrist. She turned back to look at the owner of the grasp. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Sit down.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and wanted to say something, but he beat her to it. ¡°Does your foot still hurt?¡± His dark eyes were filled with worries as they stared at her left foot . ¡°My foot is fine. You should worry about yourself first. If you don¡¯t change your clothes, you¡¯re going to freeze to death.¡± Lin Qingqian pushed his hand away, turned around, and walked to the small cab beside the desk to take out Lin Yuanshan¡¯s clothes from when he was alive. After he passed away, most of his clothes had been burned. However, in order tomemorate him, Lin Chaoyan still kept two sets of clothes in the cab. From time to time, she would take them out to wash and dry. Therefore, when she took out the clothes, they didn¡¯t smell moldy. They even emitted a faint smell of detergent. However, when Jiang Yanshen saw the clothes, he couldn¡¯t help but frown. This was because the clothes were linen and looked very rough. To Jiang Yanshen, who was used to wearing custom-made clothes, this was equivalent to putting a sack on. Lin Qingqian also knew that she was making things difficult for him, but she really couldn¡¯t find any other suitable clothes for him to change into. ¡°You can¡¯t buy new clothes here, so you¡¯ll have to wear this first!¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t want to change, but the temperature was too low. His body was drenched, and his cold clothes felt like needles pricking against his skin. Suppressing his difort, he nodded. Lin Qingqian then returned to her room to change first. When she came back after changing, Jiang Yanshen had already changed. The white cotton linen shirt was worn inside with a khaki jacket pulled over it. He was also wearing a pair of ck cotton linen pants. When Lin Qingqian saw the long johns on the chair, her brows moved slightly. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing long johns?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at the old long johns and said with a face of resistance, ¡°Do you know how cold it is outside now?¡± Lin Qingqian picked up the long johns and handed them to him. ¡°Put them on!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not cold,¡± the man said stubbornly, as if wearing it would kill him! Lin Qingqian¡¯s temper red up and she threw the pants on the bed. ¡°Suit yourself! ¡± You deserve to freeze to death! The second half of her sentence was stuck in her throat as she turned around and left. Jiang Yanshen retracted his gaze from her disappearing back and looked at the long johns on the bed. For a moment, he fell into a dilemma. Ten minutester, Jiang Yanshen walked to the front yard and saw Lin Qingqian shoveling snow. He walked over and took the shovel. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and was about to shake off his hand when Jiang Yanshen lifted his pants with his left hand. ¡°I¡¯m wearing it.¡± After saying that, he immediately let go of his pants, afraid that others would see him. Lin Qingqian¡¯s tense expression rxed, but she still didn¡¯t give him the shovel. ¡°Can you do it?¡± Jiang Yanshen forcefully took the shovel from her hand and said in a serious tone, ¡°Next time, don¡¯t ask a man if he can do it!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡®I suspect you¡¯re driving, but there¡¯s no proof.¡¯ Jiang Yanshen then held the shovel with both hands and skillfully shoveled the snow. His actions were decent. Coupled with the clothes on his body, it really looked like he was experienced in doing it. Lin Chaoyan, who had walked out of the kitchen to pour water, couldn¡¯t help but snort when she saw him. Lin Qingqian was afraid that she would ssh water on Jiang Yanshen again, so she walked towards Jiang Yanshen and instructed, ¡°This side, clear the snow nere..¡± Chapter 174 - 174: You Can Stay Away From Me,But 1 Will Still Love You for a Long Time Chapter 174: You Can Stay Away From Me,But 1 Will Still Love You for a Long Time Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and didn¡¯t suspect anything. He just worked hard to shovel the snow. Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at Lin Chaoyan, who was standing at the kitchen door. Lin Chaoyan red at her angrily. She poured the water on the snow at the kitchen door and turned to go in. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and turned around, meeting Jiang Yanshen¡¯s burning gaze. Her face was inexplicably hot in the cold wind. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be calm. ¡°You shovel the snow properly. I¡¯ll go change the bedsheets.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bright eyes seemed to follow her back with a smile until her figure disappeared from his sight. Thinking of her smile and her kindness, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart. In this cold winter, a hole was forcefully torn open in his chest, and cold wind kept whistling through. Qianqian, you can stay far away from me but I will still love you for a long, long time. Jiang Yanshen had shoveled most of the snow in the courtyard, and Lin Chaoyan had also finished making breakfast. Lin Qingqian then called him in for breakfast. Jiang Yanshen put down the shovel and walked into the house, sweating profusely. Seeing this, Lin Qingqian took a tissue to wipe his sweat. Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and said angrily, ¡°I didn¡¯t cook his portion.¡± ¡°Auntie!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s tone was helpless. ¡°Visitors are guests!¡± ¡°What guest!¡± Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes. ¡°Our Lin family doesn¡¯t receive guests with the surname Jiang!¡± Jiang Yanshen still maintained a respectful attitude towards Lin Chaoyan. ¡°Auntie, Grandma asked me to bring some bird¡¯s nest and ginseng and asked me to greet you on her behalf.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need!¡± Lin Chaoyan snorted. ¡°My life is cheap. I can¡¯t enjoy those good things. Bring them back to wherever you got them from!¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He nced sideways at Lin Qingqian, as if asking for help. Lin Qingqian thought of what he saidst night. If they were just friends, then there was no need for her to fight to the death with Jiang Yanshen. She had never liked to be enemies with others, let alone a man she had liked for seven years. ¡°Auntie, Grandma asked him to send it over. He wouldn¡¯t dare to bring it back. At most, he¡¯ll have to throw it away on the way back.¡± Lin Qingqian walked in front of Lin Chaoyan and said in a low voice, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you ept it? When you sell itter, you can buy a few more nests of chicks to raise.¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her. ¡°Do you think Auntie is that kind of short-sighted person?¡± ¡°Of course not, Auntie.¡± Lin Qingqian held her arm. ¡°But look, I¡¯ve been in the Jiang family for a few years and I didn¡¯t ask for anything from Jiang Yanshen. He¡¯s never been filial to you so are you sure you don¡¯t deserve this?¡± Lin Chaoyan lowered her eyes and thought about it. She felt that what she said made sense. Their Lin family daughter had been neglected and bullied by the Jiang family. Hence, she had every right to receive something from him!! Lin Qingqian saw that her expression was wavering and said, ¡°Auntie, let¡¯s have breakfast. Are we still eating dumplings today?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lin Chaoyan¡¯s attention was immediately diverted and she ignored Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Let¡¯s go eat dumplings.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Okay, Auntie!¡± When she turned around, she secretly gave Jiang Yanshen an ¡°OK¡±. When Jiang Yanshen saw this, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. Although Lin Chaoyan said that there was no food for Jiang Yanshen, the amount of dumplings was enough for three people. Lin Qingqian filled a big bowl for Jiang Yanshen. ¡°It¡¯s our custom to eat dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. I don¡¯t know if you¡¯d be used to it.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the bowl and looked at the round dumplings that were still steaming. The corners of his eyebrows had melted. ¡°I like to eat dumplings. Grandma made them before..¡± Chapter 175 - 175: Dumb Rich People Chapter 175: Dumb Rich People Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. She just continued to scoop out the dumplings in the pot to prevent them from overcooking. Lin Chaoyan then carried the bowl to the big room to eat while Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen remained in the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen ate two dumplings and suddenly frowned. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head, and vomited something into his palm. Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw the brand new coin in his palm. ¡°This is one of our family¡¯s customs. It is to hide a coin in the dumpling and whoever bites it this year will have countless good luck.¡± After saying that, she looked at him with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. ¡°If Auntie finds out that you found the coin she hid, she will definitely be furious.¡± What kind of luck was this? He had gotten it after only eating the third dumpling. In the past, she would have eaten until her stomach was full and still fail to find it. Hearing her say this, Jiang Yanshen looked down at the coin in his palm and looked around. In the end, he wiped the coin on his body. After wiping his saliva, he handed it to her. ¡°This is for you.¡± And I give you all my good fortune. Surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°No need¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen had already stuffed the coin into her palm. ¡°If you say that you found it, Auntie won¡¯t be angry with me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes moved from his gaze to the coin in her palm, as if it was still stained with his smell. For a moment, an inexplicable feeling lingered between the two of them. It was as if the two of them had a secret that only each other knew. The feeling of keeping a secret made their hearts slowly approach each other. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± A cough suddenly sounded at the door. Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes at the two of them. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to eat, get out!¡± Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen averted their gazes at the same time and walked to the side with their bowls. Lin Chaoyan then walked in to scoop the dumplings. There was a coin hidden in Lin Qingqian¡¯s palm that was holding the bowl. She subconsciously looked at the man near the door from the corner of her eye. Coincidentally, Jiang Yanshen also looked at her. The moment his gaze met hers, Lin Qingqian quickly lowered her eyes and pretended that nothing had happened. Jiang Yanshen then lowered his eyes without a trace and the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily. After Old Master Lin passed away, the rtives of the Lin family did not visit often. In addition, there were rumors in the vige that Lin Qingqian was not liked by her inws in the big city, so no rtives were willing to interact with them. Thus, Lin Chaoyan was usually alone during the New Year and was used to peace and quiet. On the other hand, Lin Qingqian felt a little ufortable. After marrying Jiang Yanshen, Auntie had been spending the New Year alone. How lonely was she? The others in the vige didn¡¯te, but the children were willing toe because Lin Qingqian gave them candy, When Jiang Yanshen saw the children, he gave them the red packets he had prepared in advance. Lin Qingqian asked, ¡°Why did you think of preparing red packets?¡± He had never cared about these etiquettes and customs before. Jiang Yanshen looked at the child who had received the red packet and was happily running home, leaving a series of footprints on the snow. His thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Grandma said that I have to give red packets whenever I see children. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as her gazended on the thick stack of red packets in his hand. ¡°So you prepared a stack?¡± Jiang Yanshen blinked. ¡°Not enough?¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Jiang Yanshen thought for a moment and asked, ¡°You want one too?¡± ¡°No, thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°I just suddenly thought of words that fit the asion.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°What words?¡± Lin Qingqian nced sideways at him, and the curve of her lips became thicker. She enunciated each word clearly, ¡°Dumb, Rich, People.¡± Jiang Yanshen: Chapter 176 - 176: That’s Why I Want To Live For Myself For A Day. Chapter 176: That¡¯s Why I Want To Live For Myself For A Day. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Perhaps because Jiang Yanshen¡¯s red packet was quite generous, the vigers felt a little embarrassed and hence a few women came over with some milk powder and pastriester on. Their eyes widened when they saw Jiang Yanshen. The women who had lived in the vige all their lives had never seen such a good-looking man. They couldn¡¯t help but take a few more nces. Jiang Yanshen however, didn¡¯t have any negative emotions from being stared at by them and just calmly helped Lin Qingqian make tea. Two women then grabbed Lin Chaoyan and asked if she was Lin Qingqian¡¯s husband. They wanted to know if he had any brothers as their daughters were still unmarried. Lin Chaoyan wanted to say that they were already divorced, but when she saw their envious expressions, she swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. No matter what, it was the new year. It was not appropriate to say that Lin Qingqian had gotten a divorce. It was better to mention it in the future. As they spoke in pure dialect, Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t understand a single word. From the corner of his eye, he saw them looking at him so he lowered his voice and asked Lin Qingqian, ¡°What are they talking about?¡± Lin Qingqian ced the tea leaves in the ss and said without looking up, ¡°They want to know if you have any brothers in your family. They have daughters who haven¡¯t gotten married.¡± Jiang Yanshen then picked up the hot water bottle. As he poured the water, he said, ¡°Jiang Yunshen and I are the only direct descendants of the Jiang family. There are a few rtives, but they¡¯re disappointing.¡± Putting down the hot water bottle, he looked up at her and said in a joking tone, ¡°If necessary, I can call Jiang Yunshen over.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® Is that Jiang Brat really your younger brother? The women chatted only for a while before leaving as all the families were busy during the New Year. There were also people who invited Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen to eat at their ce. But Lin Chaoyan rejected them and said that she had already prepared lunch at home. No matter how unhappy Lin Chaoyan was, she still gave Jiang Yanshen food to eat. However, she refused to give him a good look the entire time. Jiang Yanshen was used to being respected in front of others and didn¡¯t even lower his head in front of his old granny. On the other hand, he lowered his head in front of Lin Chaoyan this New Year and didn¡¯t dare to say a word. In the afternoon, Lin Chaoyan returned to her room to rest. What she doesn¡¯t see can¡¯t hurt her. Jiang Yanshen stood at the door with a teacup in his hand, looking at the snowy scenery. He had never thought that he would one day live in such a simple ce. Those obsessivepulsive disorders and mysophobia were cured in an instant. Lin Qingqian peeled a sugar orange and stuffed it into her mouth. Looking at his back view, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°The snow on the vige road has been cleared. I think the chauffeur cane in to pick you up now.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned back to look at her. ¡°Do you really want me to leave?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you an iron man who doesn¡¯t rest 365 days a year?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°That¡¯s why I want to live for myself for a day now.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant. Moreover¡­ when he said this, his tone sounded a little sorrowful. The atmosphere was a little stagnant as Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before peeling a sugar orange and handing it to him. ¡°The orange is very sweet. Try it.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and his gazended on the small orange in her palm. He took it and ced it in his mouth. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. She looked at him with her clear eyes, as if to say, ¡°Isn¡¯t it very sweet?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple bobbed vigorously as he silently shifted his gaze to the snow outside the window, allowing the cold sweet liquid to flow down his throat. ¡°I¡¯ll remember today for the rest of my life. I¡¯ll remember this taste for sure.¡± Lin Qingqian was just about to ask him what he meant when there was amotion and noise outside the door¡ª ¡°Big Brother, we¡¯re here¡­¡± Chapter 177 - 177: Laugh For Another Five Minutes Chapter 177: Laugh For Another Five Minutes Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian followed the sound and saw Jiang Yunshen, who was wearing a red down jacket, running wildly in the snow like a husky that had escaped from its leash. Behind him was Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang, who were carrying many bags. Jiang Yunshen ran to the door and saw the clothes Jiang Yanshen was wearing. He was stunned for a moment before roaring, ¡°F*ck! !! Lin Qingqian, what did you do to my brother!!!¡± ¡°Lin Qingqian, return my charismatic and mighty big brother!!! ¡± ¡°Brother, what¡¯s wrong with you!!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eardrums hurt from the noise. He frowned and reprimanded, ¡°Shut up.¡± Jiang Yunshen immediately pursed his lips and looked at him pitifully. Lu Qinshang walked closer to take a look. At first, he eximed, ¡°F*ck!¡± Then, he burst intoughter. Gu Xici couldn¡¯t help but grin when he saw what he was wearing. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was even colder than the snow outside the door. He frowned and said, ¡°Are you doneughing?¡± Lu Qinshang finally stoppedughing. ¡°No, no. Let meugh for another five minutes. Hahahahahahaha¡­ Jiang Yanshen: ¡® He looked at Gu Xici and said unhappily, ¡°Why did you bring them here?¡± Gu Xici shrugged helplessly. ¡°One doesn¡¯t want to face his Mom and Dad, and the other doesn¡¯t want to go on a blind date. What can I do?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Xici looked at Lin Qingqian and handed her two boxes of New Year¡¯s gifts. ¡°Happy New Year. ¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with him and took it. She said, ¡°Thank you. Happy New Year.¡± Lu Qinshang finally smiled and looked at Lin Qingqian teasingly. ¡°I always thought that you were a soldier, but I didn¡¯t expect you to be a ruler. Shrewd indeed!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly and didn¡¯t say anything. Jiang Yanshen shot him a warning look. ¡°Where¡¯s the thing?¡± As Lu Qinshang handed the bag over, he said, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need to change out of your clothes. You look quite cool like this. Hahaha¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen took the bag and kicked his abdomen. After that, Lu Qinshang could no longer smile. Jiang Yanshen then turned around and went to the room in the backyard to change. When Lin Chaoyan heard themotion, she walked out and said unhappily, ¡°What are you guys shouting about? Can¡¯t you let me sleep¡­¡± She paused and looked at the group of handsome young men in front of her. Lin Qingqian introduced him to her. ¡°This is Lu Qinshang, mypany¡¯s investor, Detective Gu Xici, Jiang Yunshen, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s younger brother. They¡¯re here to look for Jiang Yanshen.¡± Gu Xici said, ¡°Auntie, Happy New Year. Sorry to disturb you.¡± Lin Chaoyan smiled. ¡°No, no.¡± Lu Qinshang clutched his stomach. It was so painful that his facial features were twisted. ¡°A-Auntie, Happy New Year¡­¡± Lin Chaoyan nodded. Considering that he was Lin Qingqian¡¯s investor, she asked politely, ¡°Do you want tea?¡± Lu Qinshang shook his head. ¡°No need. Thank you, Auntie¡­¡± When she looked at Jiang Yunshen, he bit his lip and did not dare to speak. Lin Chaoyan knew that he was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s younger brother, so she didn¡¯t show him a good expression. Instead, she warmly called Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang in and served them tea and melon seeds. Jiang Yunshen, on the other hand, was left at the door. When Jiang Yanshen came out after changing his clothes, he saw Lin Chaoyan handing fruits to Gu Xici. She kept asking how old he was and where he worked and whether it was dangerous. Lin Qingqian had tried to stop her from asking too much several times but failed. Hence, she silently grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to the door to munch on them. Gu Xici could only look at Lu Qinshang for help.. Chapter 178 - 178: Why Didn ‘t You Bring Your Boyfriend Here? Chapter 178: Why Didn ¡®t You Bring Your Boyfriend Here? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang looked like he was watching a good show. Gu Xici sharply sensed a cold gaze and immediately looked over. He desperately signaled Jiang Yanshen to help him out. Jiang Yanshen had just changed into a dark shirt and a dark blue suit. He was wearing a trench coat that reached his calves which made him look tall and handsome. His long legs walked over unhurriedly. His thin lips curled up as he said slowly, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you bring your boyfriend over?¡± Gu Xici: Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned for a second before bursting intoughter. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s expression changed immediately. She stopped asking about his family and made an excuse to rush to the kitchen. Lu Qinshang sneered mercilessly. ¡°I was wondering why you don¡¯t have a girlfriend. It turns out that you only have boyfriends. Hahaha¡­¡± Gu Xici¡¯s face darkened. He looked at the instigator usingly. ¡°Can¡¯t you use a more reserved method? Must you nder me?¡± Jiang Yanshen was expressionless. ¡°This method is simple and effective.¡± Gu Xici: Didn¡¯t he just bring Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen here? Did he have to mess with him like this?! Jiang Yunshen, who was standing at the door, looked at Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand. ¡°Give me some melon seeds.¡± Lin Qingqian replied with her eyes as she munched on the melon seeds: No. Jiang Yunshen frowned. We are guests. Lin Qingqian spat out the melon seed shell: You¡¯re not. Jiang Yunshen: ¡® Jiang Yanshen saw the two of them exchanging nces at the door and his expression darkened again. He said in a low voice, ¡°Get in.¡± He was talking to Jiang Yunshen. Jiang Yunshen immediately ran in front of him and called out softly, ¡°Brother.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you spend the New Year with Second Uncle?¡± He said in a tone that was definitely reprimanding. I¡¯m going to apany Grandma now.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped reprimanding him. On the other hand, Lu Qinshang said, ¡°Hey, this is my first time here. Is there anything fun to do here?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. Weren¡¯t they here to pick Jiang Yanshen up? ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Lu Qinshang stroked his chin. ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t you say that you have a lot of wild animals here? Why don¡¯t we hunt some wild animals and bring them back to Jiang Yunshen immediately raised his hand in agreement. ¡°I want to hunt rabbits!¡± Gu Xici thought for a moment. ¡°A wild bear is fine too.¡± Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen gave him a look that said, ¡°Do you think we¡¯re as perverted as you?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as she said lightly, ¡°There are no wild bears, but you might encounter wild pheasants and rabbits.¡± With just a few words, they decided to go out to hunt pheasants and wild rabbits. Lin Qingqian then changed into a pair of snowshoes. Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Yanshen suddenly grabbed her arm. When she turned around, she felt her head heat up. Two furry balls hung down from both sides of her face. Jiang Yanshen adjusted her hat. ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Don¡¯t fall ill.¡± After that, he put down his hand. He had no intention of taking the opportunity to get closer to her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze followed his tall figure as she touched the warm hat on her head. Her clear eyes were like ripples on a calmke¡­ Gu Xici was holding the hunting rifle that the Old Master used to hunt, while Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen each held a stick. If they wanted to hunt wild chickens and rabbits, they had to walk up the mountain. The higher they went, the thicker the snow. It was almost knee-deep. Jiang Yunshen panted after taking a few steps. ¡°I can¡¯t take it. I can¡¯t walk anymore!¡± Lu Qinshang sneered mercilessly. ¡°Second Young Master Jiang, your stamina is not good! Be careful, your wife might run away with someone in the future.¡± Jiang Yunshen red at him angrily. ¡°Shut up. This daddy¡¯s rod will never go soft!¡± Before he could finish his sentence, a kick came from behind him and he fell heavily into the snow. He happened tond face down! Chapter 179 - 179: What Did Your Second Uncle Do? Chapter 179: What Did Your Second Uncle Do? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yunshen got up. His face was red from the cold snow. He looked up at the culprit with an aggrieved expression. ¡°Are you still my brother?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned a blind eye to his miserable state and said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t make dirty jokes.¡± He nced at the indifferent Lin Qingqian from the corner of his eye. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes drifted back and forth between him and Lin Qingqian a few times, and he snorted coldly, ¡°You forget your brother when you see her. Today, I officially announce that I¡¯ll sever my brotherhood with you!¡± With that, he ran. Lin Qingqian lifted her eyelids and looked at the brat who was running far away. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to coax him?¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and said calmly, ¡°Why would I need to coax him? He¡¯s not young anymore. He should be sensible.¡± Lin Qingqian took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket. As she ate, she said, ¡°He has always admired you.¡± Jiang Yanshen continued walking. ¡°I Imow.¡± ¡°Then why are you still so ruthless to him?¡± The melon seeds shell in Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand was casually thrown on the snow, all along the way. Jiang Yanshen took a few steps and turned around to look at the trail of melon seed shells behind her. When he saw her calm expression, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. Lin Qingqian looked at him curiously. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes drooped for a few seconds before he looked at her again and exined unhurriedly, ¡°Yunshen has a carefree personality. Although he¡¯s arrogant and despotic, he¡¯s not bad in nature. It¡¯s just that¡ª¡± He paused for a moment and looked at the second young master of the Jiang family, who had already started a snowball fight with Lu Qinshang in the distance. His eyes were dark as he exined. ¡°Being born in the Jiang family and with a father like my second uncle, he might go astray if he¡¯s not careful.¡± Lin Qingqian understood when she heard what he said. ¡°What did your second uncle do?¡± She had never met Jiang Chongjing, but those rumors were enough for her to understand what kind of person Jiang Chongjing was. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and looked at her. The cold wind wrapped around his low voice. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯ve been in charge of the Tian Yue Corporation for the past few years. No matter what he wants to do, he needs to get my permission first.¡± Lin Qingqian was speechless for a few seconds and said very heartlessly, ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much. I¡¯m not worried about you. I just don¡¯t want to be implicated by your Jiang family! ¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® They said that they were going to catch wild animals, but once they reached the foot of the mountain, no one remembered this anymore. Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen looked like they were purely here for a snowball fight. They were originally far away, but in the end, they ran back towards Lin Qingqian. It was inevitable that there would be idental injuries in the chaotic scene. Lin Qingqian had just peeled a sugar orange. Before she could eat it, a round snowball hit her head. She paused and nced at Jiang Yunshen, the instigator. Jiang Yunshen spread his hands innocently, bent down, grabbed the snowball, and continued to hit Lu Qinshang. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. She casually threw the peeled sugar orange to Jiang Yanshen, took out a rubber band from her pocket, and tied up her scattered hair. Jiang Yanshen held the sugar orange and stared at her pocket, as if he was looking at Doraemon¡¯s pocket. Why did it seem to contain everything? After Lin Qingqian fixed her hair, she bent down, grabbed two handfuls of snow, made them into balls, and hurled them ruthlessly at Jiang Yunshen. One hit his cheek, and the other hit his nose. It caused Jiang Yunshen to cry out in pain. Lu Qinshang was dumbfounded and wanted to give her a Lamborghini straight away. Not to be outdone, Jiang Yunshen wanted to counterattack, but the snowballs that he aimed at Lin Qingqian were all dodged. Lin Qingqian then continued to pummel his nose, ears, and mouth urately. As long as she wanted to, there was nothing she couldn¡¯t hit. The result of the snowball fight was Lin Qingqian torturing Jiang Yunshen unterally. Lu Qinshang cheered her on at the side, while Jiang Yanshen¡ª After eating the orange that Lin Qingqian peeled, he took out his phone to record. Looking at the lively girl on the camera, the corners of his eyes were filled with joy.. Chapter 180 - 180: I’m Cutting Ties With You. Don ‘t Talk to Me Chapter 180: I¡¯m Cutting Ties With You. Don ¡®t Talk to Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The sky was getting close to twilight as Jiang Yunsheny paralyzed on the snow, panting so hard that he couldn¡¯t speak. His eyes were wide open, looking rather aggrieved. Lin Qingqian was also exhausted from running. She panted heavily and sat on the snow without caring about her image. Lu Qinshang fanned the mes at the side. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t stop. Continue to torture him. I¡¯ll give you an additional investment sum¡­¡¯ Jiang Yanshen kicked him lightly. ¡°Don¡¯t lead Qianqian astray.¡± Saying that, he reached out and pulled Lin Qingqian up from the snow. ¡°Don¡¯t sit on the snow, you¡¯ll catch a cold easily.¡± Jiang Yunshen, who was lying on the snow beside him, was speechless. Please recognize how traumatized I am. Thank you. Lin Qingqian took a long breath and her voice regained its calmness. ¡°Thank you, I¡¯m fine.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and looked at his brother lying on the snow. He said in apletely different tone, ¡°Get up.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned around and faced him with his butt. ¡°I¡¯m cutting ties with you. Don¡¯t talk to me.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡®I¡­¡± In the distance, Gu Xici returned with a shotgun and a pheasant feather in his hand. Lu Qinshang shook his head and said, ¡°Ah Ci, you suck at it! Why can¡¯t you even snipe a wild pheasant!¡± Gu Xici coughed lightly and said without a trace, ¡°This gun isn¡¯t working well after not being used for a long time.¡± Although they were supposed to be out hunting, it was actually just a way to pass the time. Gu Xici had never used a hunting gun before, so he spent the entire afternoon fiddling with it. He didn¡¯t even take a second look at the pheasant jumping in front of him. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you have fun. Our ancestors spent thousands of years domesticating farm animals safe for consumption, but you¡¯d rather eat wild animals. You may not be afraid of death, but we¡¯re afraid of being poisoned by zoonotic viruses.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm as she said to Lu Qinshang, ¡°If you really want to not disappoint your future wife, eating Wild Pigeon (pronounced like ¡®viagra¡¯) is the way to go.¡± In the early years, there were still people hunting in Yushan. Later on, because someone in the neighboring vige ate a pheasant and almost died, there was no one hunting in Yushan now. She also knew that these noble young masters won¡¯t really know how to hunt, so she brought them here to y instead. Lu Qinshang: Gu Xici: Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± His dark eyes shot towards the lump on the snow. The trembling Jiang Yunshen: ¡® Damn it! Why did Ie to this godforsaken ce to seek torture? I want to go home!!! After a moment, he reacted and protested, ¡°Brother, she¡¯s making dirty jokes!¡± Jiang Yanshen shifted his gaze and said heartlessly, ¡°We¡¯ve already cut ties. Don¡¯t talk to me.¡± Jianz Yunshen: ¡® Later, the group returned empty-handed. Although Lin Chaoyan didn¡¯t like the Jiang brothers, her attitude towards Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici was still considered friendly. The Jiang brothers became free loaders and got to enjoy a table full of food for them. After the meal, Gu Xici took the initiative to help clean up the dishes. Lin Chaoyan felt gratified and regretful When she saw this. Why was such a good young man so narrow-minded to like men? Every word she said to him was all hinting to him that marrying a woman, getting married, and having children was the right path. Gu Xici: He suddenly wanted to cut ties with Jiang Yanshen as well. Although the Lin family had empty rooms, it was really not big enough for all of them to stay in. Hence, they had to leave after eating. Lin Chaoyan also prepared some snacks and fruits for Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang to eat on the way. As for the Jiang Brothers, she rolled her eyes at them¡­ Lin Qingqian then sent them to the vige entrance, and the other three got into the car first. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and stared at her exquisite face under the reflection of the moonlight and snow. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°When are you going back to Lan City?¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a while. ¡°After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.¡± It was rare for her to be back, so she wanted to spend a few more days with her Auntie. When Jiang Yanshen heard her say that she would return on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, his eyes became even darker than the night sky. Due to their current rtionship, he could only swallow his words. ¡°Call Lu Yuan if you need anything.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled politely. ¡°This is my hometown. What else can I need?¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she didn¡¯t want to trouble him, and his eyes darkened silently. ¡°Then I¡¯m leaving.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Have a safe journey back.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned around and opened the car door. His tall body didn¡¯t seem to bend in the wind. Suddenly, he turned around and strode in front of Lin Qingqian.. Chapter 181 - 181: I Cannot Hate Him Just Because I Couldn I t Get His Love Chapter 181: I Cannot Hate Him Just Because I Couldn I t Get His Love When Lin Qingqian blinked her clear eyes in confusion, he opened his arms and hugged her. Lin Qingqian was stunned. When she reacted and was about to push him away, the man¡¯s low and hoarse voice rang in her ears¡ª ¡°I had a great time this Spring Festival. Thank you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he loosened his arms and rubbed her head. He smiled and said, ¡°See you in Lan City.¡± Without waiting for Lin Qingqian to speak, he turned around, got into the car, and instructed the chauffeur to drive. The other men sitting in the back of the car also waved goodbye to Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian blinked her eyes and watched as the car drove further and further away under the moonlight. There was an indescribably strange feeling in her heart. She felt that Jiang Yanshen seemed to be different from before. This difference seemed to be leading them in a better direction. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. She turned around and walked towards home. The moment she entered, she saw Lin Chaoyan¡¯s unhappy expression. She walked over and held Lin Chaoyan¡¯s arm intimately. ¡°Auntie¡­¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her angrily. ¡°Oh, you still remember that I¡¯m your Auntie? As the saying goes, when a person reaches the shore, the person prays no more! Previously, you were so desperate to divorce that Jiang fellow. Have you forgotten so quickly?¡± She poked Lin Qingqian in the head and scolded. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said, ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m not back together with Jiang Yanshen, and I won¡¯t reconcile our marriage.¡± ¡°Do you think that Auntie is stupid, or blind?¡± Lin Chaoyan rolled her eyes at her. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing between the two of you, would hee to our mountain during the New Year?¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip and didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Chaoyan pulled her to sit down and said earnestly, ¡°Auntie really doesn¡¯t have any expectations of you. I just want you to live a peaceful life and find someone reliable to live with. That Jiang guy is not someone who you can lead a stable life with.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes, her eyshes that were as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings cast a shadow under her eyelids. After a moment of silence, she spoke slowly. ¡°Auntie, I understand what you¡¯re saying, but what can I do?¡± Lin Chaoyan was stunned. She only heard her calm voice¡ª ¡°After all, he¡¯s the man I¡¯ve truly loved for seven years. Everything about him in these seven years has long been engraved in my bones and blood. Even if I want to erase him from my life, I¡¯m powerless.¡± The dim yellow light of the gasmp fell on her in face, and there was an indescribable loneliness and sadness in her expression. ¡°I can be heartless and divorce him. I can also not see or care about him. I can even die of old age alone. However, I can¡¯t say hurtful words every time I see him! I cannot hate him just because I couldn¡¯t get his love.¡± Every time she said something to hurt Jiang Yanshen in order to get him away from her, wasn¡¯t it also hurting herself? Lin Qingqian looked at Lin Chaoyan calmly and said, ¡°Auntie, I can¡¯t hate him.¡± Lin Chaoyan fell silent. She had also been young and in love before. How could she not know Lin Qingqian¡¯s feelings? ¡°The Jiang family is a ce of trouble, and Jiang Yanshen is not a kind person. If you continue to be involved with him, you won¡¯t have a good ending.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes. ¡°He said that he wouldn¡¯t pester me.¡± If she only needed to not love someone else for the rest of her life, not marry someone else, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult for her. Lin Chaoyan knew that although she looked docile, she was actually an adamant child. As such, she sighed helplessly. ¡°You¡¯ve already grown up. You have your own ideas for many things, so Auntie won¡¯t say much,¡± Lin Chaoyan said earnestly. ¡°I just hope that you won¡¯t be like Auntie in the future. When I was young, I only cared about love, but in the end, I ended up with nothing..¡± Chapter 182 - 182: May Qjanqian Live A Safe and Peaceful Life Chapter 182: May Qjanqian Live A Safe and Peaceful Life Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions A few men sat in a six-seater business car and rushed to the airport. As Lu Qinshang ate the orange, he said, ¡°This ce is quite interesting. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t stayed for long enough. I haven¡¯t had enough fun.¡± Jiang Yunshen reached out his hands towards the melon seeds, but Lu Qinshang pped him on the hand. ¡°Auntie gave this to me and Ah Ci. The two of you don¡¯t have a share.¡± Jiang Yunshen snorted. ¡°So be it. What¡¯s so good about food from a poor ce like this?¡± Lu Qinshang ate an orange smugly and munched on melon seeds. He looked sympathetically at Jiang Yanshen, who was resting with his eyes closed. ¡°You said that you didn¡¯t take them seriously in the past, but now, they don¡¯t even want your warm face touching their cold butt. How tragic!¡± Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes and said coldly, ¡°What are you so smug about?¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen was expressionless. ¡°Auntie clearly knows that you¡¯re an investor, but she didn¡¯t even consider you. Shouldn¡¯t you think about why?¡± Lu Qinshang touched the tip of his nose and pondered seriously. ¡°Could it be that Auntie thinks that I¡¯m too good-looking?¡± Gu Xici exposed him mercilessly. ¡°It¡¯s all because you¡¯re born with a yboy face. If I were Auntie, I wouldn¡¯t be at ease entrusting my daughter to you either.¡± Lu Qinshang: The melon seeds in his hand suddenly didn¡¯t smell good anymore. Jiang Yanshen looked at the melon seeds in his hand and thought of Lin Qingqian eating melon seeds all the way like a squirrel in the afternoon. He suddenly wondered if this thing was really delicious. After some hesitation, he grabbed a small handful of melon seeds and tried to eat one. He couldn¡¯t tell if the taste was good or bad, but when he thought that it was the same thing she ate, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrobly. Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang looked at each other silently and turned their heads to look out of the window. They really couldn¡¯t bear to watch. Lin Qingqian returned to her room and sat down by the bed, with Auntie¡¯s words still ringing in her ears. Actually, she understood Auntie¡¯s worries, but¡­ Perhaps she and Jiang Yanshen were destined to be inseparable. During the seven years when she liked Jiang Yanshen, he never looked back at her. Yet when she decided to give up on him, he looked back. However, no one in this world would stand on the spot forever and wait for someone. Even she was no exception. Lin Qingqian sighed lightly and leaned back. When her fingers were propping up the bed, the fingertips of her right hand inadvertently touched something. When she lifted the pillow, she saw a red packet. Who would ce a red packet under her pillow? Lin Qingqian curiously picked up the red packet. When she opened it, what greeted her eyes was not RMB, but a letter. There was a line of words on the letter¡ªMay Qianqian live a safe and peaceful life. Although there was no signature, the handwriting was obvious to her. She recognized Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handwriting with a single nce. The other side of the letter was printed with a small bridge and flowing water. The concept was quite beautiful. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heartstrings were tugged by something, and there was an indescribable sourness. She read the words on the letter dozens of times and finally ced the letter and the coin in the box she brought back. Lin Qingqian booked a flight back to Lan City on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. She had to rush to the airport early in the morning. Before she left, Lin Chaoyan packed arge bag of local specialties for her. If Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t said that they wouldn¡¯t pass the security checks, she would have ughtered all the old hens at home and packed them for her. Lin Qingqian then packed her luggage, took out a bank card from her pocket, and stuffed it into her Auntie¡¯s hands.. Chapter 183 - 183: Master, How Can You Do This? Lin Qjngqian’s Nose Suddenly Soured. Chapter 183: Master, How Can You Do This? Lin Qjngqian¡¯s Nose Suddenly Soured. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Chaoyan¡¯s expression changed when she saw the card in her hand. ¡®What are you doing?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Since thepany has made a profit, I naturally have to return this money to Auntie.¡± Lin Chaoyan pushed her hand away. ¡®What do you mean by returning it! What¡¯s mine is yours!¡± ¡°Auntie, didn¡¯t you say that this money was left for me as a dowry?¡± Lin Qingqian stuffed the card into her hand. ¡°Then you can continue to keep it for me. If something happens to thepany one day, won¡¯t the money you keep be useful?¡± Lin Chaoyan felt that her words made sense and nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll keep it for you! You can get it from me if you need it in the future!¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, thank you, Auntie.¡± ¡°Silly child! Why are you thanking Auntie?!¡± Lin Chaoyan helped her pull her luggage and sent her to the vige entrance. Lin Qingqian hugged her reluctantly and reminded her not to work too hard. She told her to do less farm work and that once she bought a house, she would bring her over to enjoy life. Lin Chaoyan only replied with a smile and sent her to the car. As she waved her hand, her eyes unknowingly moistened. Lin Qingqian had a bumpy day. Finally, when the sky turned dark, the nended at Lan City¡¯s airport. She pushed her luggage out of the airport and saw Lu Yuan standing at the exit. She raised her eyebrows in surprise. Lu Yuan took the luggage from her and said respectfully, ¡°Miss Lin, Director Jiang asked me to send you back to your apartment.¡± Lin Qingqian did not reject the good intentions. She let Lu Yuan put the luggage in the trunk and got into the car. Lu Yuan started the car and slowly drove into the main road. Lin Qingqian took out her phone and opened WeChat. Her chat with Jiang Yanshen was still on New Year¡¯s Day. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Thank you. After a while, the other party replied with three words: You¡¯re wee. Lin Qingqian kept her cell phone and looked out of the window. Halfway through the drive, her cell phone suddenly rang. Less than a minute after Lin Qingqian picked up the call, she asked Lu Yuan to change the route to thepany. Lu Yuan was puzzled, but he didn¡¯t dare to go against her wishes. He turned the car around at the next intersection. Lin Qingqian gave thepany¡¯s employees a break until the seventh day of the New Year, thinking that there was no one in thepany. Unexpectedly, Su Ying and Han Liubai were both there. Su Ying was very excited to see her. ¡°Sister Qingqian, happy new year!¡± ¡°Happy new year.¡± Lin Qingqian greeted, ¡°Where is he?¡± Su Ying: ¡°In the guest room. Designer Han is entertaining her.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and went to the guest room first. As soon as she pushed open the guest room door, she saw Han Liubai and her master chatting happily. ¡°Master, why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian walked forward and said softly, ¡°I was nning to visit you tomorrow.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an old woman with half of my body buried in the ground. What¡¯s there to visit?¡± Qi Min chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m here today to deliver something to you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Lin Qingqian looked puzzled. Han Liubai coughed lightly and gestured for her to look at the wall. Lin Qingqian followed her gaze and saw two rows of cheongsams hanging neatly on the hangers. Every piece was exquisite and beautiful, iparable. ¡°Master, this¡­¡± She was stunned. Qi Min put down her teacup and said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t know anything other than making cheongsams in my life. I don¡¯t have much money either. These are all designs that I have treasured over the years and I¡¯ll give them to you today. Consider it thest thing I can do for you. ¡± ¡°Master, how can you do this?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s nose suddenly turned sour. ¡°These are all your life¡¯s work.. How can you give them all to me?¡± Chapter 184 - 184: A Gentleman Honors The Trust Placed In Him And Would Never Dare To Disappoint Chapter 184: A Gentleman Honors The Trust ced In Him And Would Never Dare To Disappoint Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Don¡¯t be fooled by the olddy¡¯s nonchnt words. Every piece of clothing on the clothes rack was worth six figures. Qi Min said nonchntly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be afraid of? Aren¡¯t clothes made for people to wear? Why else would I make them?¡± She paused for a moment and looked at Lin Qingqian. The light in her eyes gradually became heavier. ¡°However, these clothes are not given to you for free. You are my disciple so you must make sure my skills will be passed down, understand?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart sank. Her gaze shifted to those cheongsams hanging on the wall. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded solemnly. ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. I know what to do.¡± Qi Min nodded with a gratified expression. ¡°Alright. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Lin Qingqian went forward to hold her arm. ¡°Master, I¡¯ll send you off.¡± Qi Min shook her head. ¡°No need. I¡¯m not so old that I can¡¯t walk. Go ahead.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that her master wanted to be strong all her life, so she didn¡¯t dare to insist. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call a car for you.¡± For that, Qi Min did not refuse. Lin Qingqian helped her out of the guest room and saw Lu Yuan standing at the door. Lu Yuan Imew about Qi Min so he said respectfully, ¡°Miss Lin, do you need me to send Master Qi back?¡± Lin Qingqian was just about to say that there was no need, but Old Mrs Han beat her to it. ¡°Sure, you may.¡± Lu Yuan nodded. ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯ll send Master Qi back first beforeing back to pick you up.¡± Lin Qingqian still had to deal with the cheongsams sent by her master, so she nodded slowly. Qi Min got into the car and waved at Lin Qingqian, indicating for her to go back in quickly. When the car drove a little further away, the smile on her lips disappeared as she said coldly, ¡°Are you Jiang Yanshen¡¯s man?¡± Lu Yuan sat upright like a primary school student being questioned by a teacher. He did not dare to be careless at all. ¡°Yes, Master Qi.¡± Qi Min snorted arrogantly and said in a loud voice, ¡°Go back and tell that Jiang fellow that he has dyed Qian Qian¡¯s establishment of Shi Guang Studio for seven long years. I haven¡¯t settled the score with him yet. Tell him to stop pestering our Lin girl in the future! Otherwise, I won¡¯t let him off!¡± Lu Yuan ¡® ¡®Can I not deliver these words to my Boss?¡¯ After Lin Qingqian sent her master off, she returned to the guest room and looked at the twenty cheongsams on the two rows of hangers. Her heart felt heavy, and the burden on her shoulders suddenly became heavy. Han Liubai handed her a ss of water. ¡°The Old Master thinks very highly of you.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and muttered, ¡°Yes, Master really thinks highly of me.¡± But I kept disappointing her. Han Liubai: ¡°She wants you to focus on the design of the cheongsam?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes shed, and she shook her head with a smile. ¡°Master¡¯s life has been a breeze. Her magnanimity is not something we canpare to. She wants me to push the national culture to the international level, but she also hopes that I won¡¯t forget to inherit her mantle and pass it down.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Are you nning to inherit her mantle?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°I still have to focus on building thepany for the time being. I can only calm down and make cheongsams after everything stabilizes.¡± Moreover, she had not touched a cheongsam for several years. Now, she couldn¡¯t do it just because she wanted to. Han Liubai smiled gently. ¡°You¡¯re so smart. I believe you can do it.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Thank you for your kind words.¡± Su Ying walked over. ¡°Sister Qingqian, Designer Han, are you guys going to have dinner? Do you need me to book a cafeteria?¡± ¡°You can decide.¡± Lin Qingqian said without hesitation, ¡°I¡¯ll treat you guys to a meal. Oh right¡­¡± As she spoke, she took out two red packets from her pocket and handed them to them. ¡°One each. It¡¯s a blessing.¡± Su Ying took the red packet and thanked her happily. Han Liubai however, raised his eyebrows. ¡°Me too?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Of course. You¡¯ve contributed to my sess. I¡¯m still counting on you to help me earn big bucks in the new year.¡± Han Liubai held the red packet that she had given him. His gaze was so gentle that it could drip water. ¡°A gentleman honors the trust ced in him and would never dare to disappoint..¡± Chapter 185 - 185: Jiang Yanshen’s Face Was Calm. “I’m Here to Get My Clothes. Chapter 185: Jiang Yanshen¡¯s Face Was Calm. ¡°I¡¯m Here to Get My Clothes. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Su Ying had reserved a table at a cafeteria near thepany. When the three of them walked out of the cafeteria, they saw Lu Yuan standing by the roadside. ¡°Miss Lin, Master Qi has already reached home safely. Now I¡¯ll send you back.¡± After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he nced at Han Liubai and quickly lowered his eyes. Lin Qingqian nodded. After a pause, she turned to look at Su Ying. Su Ying: ¡°I¡¯ll just take the subway back. Sister Qingqian, you don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Han Liubai again. ¡°Did you drive?¡± Han Liubai nodded and smiled gently under the streemp. ¡°You¡¯re tired after a long day. Go back and rest early.¡± His cold white fingers pressed against the red scarf that was around his neck. Lin Qingqian noticed that he was wearing the red scarf she had given him, but she didn¡¯t think too much about it. After saying goodbye, she got into the car. Han Liubai and Su Ying stood by the roadside and watched the car drive away. Su Ying stole a nce at him and smiled shyly. ¡°Designer Han, I¡¯m going back too.¡± Han Liubai retracted his gaze and looked at her. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the subway station.¡± Su Ying¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of surprise and unconcealed joy. The man¡¯s low voice continued to ring in her ears. ¡°Don¡¯t let her worry.¡± The joy in her eyes faded a little, but she still walked side by side with him to the subway station. Lu Yuan dutifully sent Lin Qingqian upstairs and left her luggage at the entrance before leaving. Lin Qingqian did not unpack first and instead, took her pajamas off and went to take a shower. After drying her hair and walking out of the bathroom, shey on the bed and habitually picked up her phone to take a look. There was a new WeChat message. Jiang Yanshen: Are you home yet? The time was half an hour ago. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyelids were heavy as she replied with narrowed eyes. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Yes, I was taking a bath. Jiang Yanshen replied very quickly. Jiang Yanshen: Rest early. Good night. She really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She didn¡¯t even lock her cell phone and closed her eyes. The next day, she woke up early and cleaned up the house for the entire day. At night, she was hungry and didn¡¯t want to cook, so she casually put on a jacket and went out to look for food. As soon as she walked out of the neighborhood, she saw a car parked by the roadside. A man got out of the car elegantly. When his ck eyes looked at her, they were burning hot. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°I¡¯m here to get my clothes.¡± He did not take the clothes he had changed out of when he was in Yushan. Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°I brought the clothes back, but I haven¡¯t washed them yet.¡± She had been so busy all day that she had forgotten about this. His clothes were very expensive and had to be sent for dry cleaning. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°Then I¡¯lle back to get it after you¡¯ve washed it.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Why did youe out?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°To eat.¡± Jiang Yanshen opened the car door. ¡°Get in.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the car door and then looked at him. ¡°No need¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen grabbed her arm and forcefully stuffed her into the car. Lin Qingqian ¡® ¡°I¡¯m just treating you to a meal. I¡¯ll send you back after eating, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen got into the car and looked at her sideways. His dark eyes were filled with sincerity. What else could Lin Qingqian say? Jiang Yanshen then instructed the chauffeur to drive. In the best western cafeteria in Lan City, one could enjoy the night view of Lan City from the window. The Manager personally led the way for them. Before they reached their seats, Lin Qingqian saw the man sitting by the window and a trace of surprise shed past her eyes.. ¡°Xiao Bai¡ª¡± Chapter 186 - 186: Didn ‘t You Say That You Like Vanilla The Most? Chapter 186: Didn ¡®t You Say That You Like Vani The Most? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The man who was looking at the scenery outside the window slowly turned his head. His gentle eyes revealed a hint of surprise when he saw her. ¡°Director Lin.¡± Then, his gazended on the man beside Lin Qingqian. When Jiang Yanshen saw him, his eyes darkened and his aura gradually turned cold. Lin Qingqian sensitively sensed that the atmosphere was not right. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°This is Han Liubai, my colleague. This is Director Jiang.¡± Han Liubai stood up and extended his cold fingers to Jiang Yanshen. His voice was as gentle as ever. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ve heard a lot about you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyesnded on his palm. After a few seconds of silence, he reached out and held it. ¡°Mr. Han, nice to meet you.¡± The two men looked at each other, and sparks seemed to fly in the air. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze shifted between the two of them. She felt that they seemed to have known each other for a long time. Perhaps sensing the probing look in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes, the two of them quickly released their hands. Their expressions were indifferent, as if nothing had happened. However, the fingers behind their backs turned red at the same time. Han Liubai smiled. ¡°Since we met by chance, why don¡¯t we eat together?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything and looked at Jiang Yanshen. He didn¡¯t like to eat at the same table with strangers. Jiang Yanshen smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll do as you say.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he gentlemanly pulled out the chair beside him and let Lin Qingqian sit down while he sat beside her. In this way, Han Liubai sat alone opposite them. It was as if they were divided into two camps. Han Liubai gentlemanly asked the Manager to bring the menu to Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yanshen stared at him. ¡°Mr. Han, you must be in a good mood since you came here to eat alone.¡± Han Liubai didn¡¯t seem to understand the meaning behind his words. He smiled faintly. ¡°I wanted to reward myself before I go to work. Otherwise, how can I help the boss earn money?¡± The gentleness with which he looked at Lin Qingqian with a smile waspletely provocative in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. Sensing that he was looking at her, Lin Qingqian raised her head and smiled. ¡°What I said before was just a joke. You don¡¯t have to feel so pressured.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no pressure.¡± Han Liubai smiled faintly. ¡°It¡¯s just that since Master Qi sent so many cheongsams over, I thought that I should try to use them when styling male celebrities. This way, I can add some publicity for our national culture.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard that, she tilted her head slightly in deep thought. ¡°Your idea is very good, but there aren¡¯t many domestically-styled men¡¯s clothing brands at the moment. There are very few that can satisfy the demand. We need to study it carefullyter.¡± Han Liubai then replied, ¡°I¡¯ve already chosen a few brands. When I return to the office, I¡¯ll ask their person-in-charge to talk to me.¡± Lin Qingqian was touched by his thoughtfulness. The smile on her lips deepened. ¡°Okay.¡± The two of them talked non-stop when it came to work, as if they had endless things to say. On the other hand, Jiang Yanshen, who was sitting at the side, was ignored, as if he was an unnecessary existence. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, and he didn¡¯t look impatient at all. Instead, he busily refilled her water and handed her paper towels. ¡°She doesn¡¯t like vani.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s sudden words made the atmosphere suddenly turn cold. The vani dessert in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand fell into a dilemma. Lin Qingqian also came back to her senses and looked at the dessert he was about to hand over. For a moment, she had mixed feelings. Han Liubai pursed his lips and said, ¡°She doesn¡¯t like vani-vored food.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her sideways. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you like vani the most?¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath and pursed her lips tightly without saying anything. Jiang Yanshen ced the dessert in front of her and looked at Han Liubai.. His deep voice sounded word by word¡ª Chapter 187 - 187: Qianqian, Don’t Be With Anyone Else… I’ll Really Go Mad Chapter 187: Qianqian, Don¡¯t Be With Anyone Else¡­ I¡¯ll Really Go Mad ¡°Mr. Han, you might not know this, but I¡¯ve known Qianqian for eight years already. I¡¯m actively pursuing her now.¡± The smile on Han Liubai¡¯s face froze. Lin Qingqian turned her head, her clear eyes filled with astonishment. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes drooped, and his dark eyes focused on Lin Qingqian gently. ¡°I know that she likes vani-vored food the most, and the animal she¡¯s most afraid of is snakes. She¡¯s afraid of the cold, and her limbs are cold when it¡¯s winter. She doesn¡¯t like to be enemies with others, doesn¡¯t like to fuss over things, and is extremely protective of the people around her.¡± With every sentence he said, the waves in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes became fiercer. Her heart seemed to have been struck by something fiercely, and it shook for a long time. Jiang Yanshen retracted his smile and looked at the man opposite him with a victorious attitude. He said calmly, ¡°So where did you get the conclusion that she doesn¡¯t eat vani?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s expression changed slightly, but he quickly reacted and said with a faint smile, ¡°Really? Then I might have misunderstood.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Eat.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him for a second before she hurriedly lowered her eyes and said bitterly, ¡°I, I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and left. Jiang Yanshen stared at her back until it disappeared into the corner. The smile on his lips sank silently. The smile on Han Liubai¡¯s face faded, and his eyes were cold. ¡°Director Jiang, good move. ¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t deny it. His handsome features were filled with frost. ¡°Han Liubai, stay away from her.¡± This was his first andst warning. The corners of Han Liubai¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he mocked, ¡°What if I say no? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were dark. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t touch you just because you set up your headquarters overseas.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. Before he could figure out what he meant, Han Liubai had already stood up. As he buttoned his sleeves, he nced at the man on the chair from the corner of his eye. His tone was extremely indifferent. ¡°As for whether I will hurt Lin Qingqian or not, it will depend on you, Director Jiang.¡± With that, he turned around and left. In the distance, Xu Wan waited for him to approach and handed him his ck coat. After Han Liubai put it on, the two of them left the cafeteria. In the washroom. Lin Qingqian sshed two handfuls of cold water on her face. She looked up and saw that the woman in the mirror was pale and covered in water droplets. She looked miserable. She took out a tissue to wipe the water droplets off her face. When she lowered her eyes, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words involuntarily floated in her ears. She used to like vani-vored food the most, but because Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t like it very much, she gradually stopped eating it. After divorcing Jiang Yanshen, she even subconsciously treated Vani and Jiang Yanshen as taboos and blocked them from her choice. She had always thought that Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t love her and didn¡¯t care about her and hence her burning heart gradually turned cold under his umted neglect. Suddenly, she realized that the truth was not what it seemed. He knew what she liked to eat. He knew what she was afraid of. He knew that she often felt cold. He even knew her personality. When did he find out about all this? Why hadn¡¯t she noticed it before? Her thoughts were in a mess. After staying in the washroom for ten minutes, Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and abandoned all thoughts to return to the cafeteria. Jiang Yanshen was the only one sitting at the dining table. ¡°Where¡¯s Xiao Bai?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and saw that the edge of her face was wet and that her expression didn¡¯t look too good. His eyebrows moved slightly. ¡°Something popped up at thest minute and he left first.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t tell if what he said was true. As she sat down in her seat, the man¡¯s deep voice rang in her ears. ¡°Are you angry with what I said just now?¡± Her eyshes that were as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings trembled slightly as she stared straight at him. ¡°What if I say yes?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes and pursed his thin lips. ¡°I apologize. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Before she could react, she heard him continue, ¡°But I don¡¯t regret doing this.¡± ¡°Xiao Bai is just my colleague.¡± She pursed her lips and exined. ¡°That¡¯s what you think.¡± Jiang Yanshen opened his mouth and said in a low voice, ¡°There are often many sides to things, and you might only see one side.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°For example, have you always been paying attention to my preferences?¡± This time, it was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s turn to be slightly stunned. After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and said in an even lower voice, ¡°It¡¯s been seven years. Anyone who isn¡¯t a fool will catch on.¡± ¡®Why?¡± She asked. He clearly didn¡¯t love her. Why did he pay attention to these things? Why did he remember them? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed a few times. His low and mellow voice carried a hint of seductive sexiness. ¡°Whether you believe it or not, I¡¯ve never thought of getting a divorce after agreeing to marry you.¡± If Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t forced him to get a divorce, they would have been husband and wife for life. Knowing his wife¡¯s preferences and familiarizing himself with her habits seemed to him to be a matter of course. However, he had forgotten that understanding a person¡¯s heart was far more important than understanding her likes and habits. Lin Qing¡¯s eyshes, which were as light as a cicada¡¯s wings, trembled slightly. She bit her lips and didn¡¯t say a word. Jiang Yanshen reached out and brushed her hair past her ears. His fingertips touched her fair skin as he said. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be with anyone else. Otherwise¡­ I¡¯ll really go mad.¡± His low voice was gentle, but there was also an imperceptible sadness. Jiang Yanshen was a man of his word. He sent her home after dinner and only sent her to the door. Lin Qingqian had just taken a shower and sat down when her cell phone rang. She opened it and saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s WeChat message. Jiang Yanshen: I¡¯m going on a business trip in two days. I¡¯ll go get the clothes when Ie back, okay? Lin Qingqian read the message several times, her fingertips tapping on the touchscreen keyboard a few times. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: I¡¯ll send the clothes to yourpany after they¡¯re washed. In other words, she didn¡¯t want to see him. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have expected this and epted her arrangements without any objections. Jiang Yanshen: Okay. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and he sent another message. Jiang Yanshen: Rest early. Good night. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Goodnight. In the office, Jiang Yanshen looked at the words ¡°goodnight¡± on his phone and couldn¡¯t help but smile. Lu Yuan and Song Qin looked at each other at the same time, then silently turned their heads away. After a while, Jiang Yanshen reluctantly locked his cell phone and looked up at Song Qin. ¡°Stay in Lan City this time. Look after Madam and don¡¯t let anything happen to her.¡± In front of Lu Yuan and the rest, Jiang Yanshen had always used the term ¡°Madam¡± to refer to Lin Qingqian. Song Qin immediately straightened her back and felt the pressure on her shoulders increase several times. ¡°Director Jiang, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely take good care of Madam. I definitely won¡¯t let her get hurt.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°If you face any problem you can¡¯t solve it, look for Gu Xici.¡± Song Qin replied, ¡®Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at Lu Yuan again. ¡°What has Jiang Yunshen been doing these days?¡± Lu Yuan didn¡¯t know why he suddenly asked about Second Young Master Jiang, so he answered honestly, ¡°Vice President Jiang has been eating, sleeping, and ying games at home since he came back from Yushan. Someone apanied him these past two days.¡± Jiang Yanshen tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment. ¡°Isn¡¯t there an African oil project to be handled recently? Arrange for him to go and pay a New Year¡¯s greeting to Second Uncle and Second Aunt.¡± Lu Yuan: Why did he feel that the project and the New Year visit were not the real reasons for him to send Jiang Yunshen away? Jiang Yansheng was probably afraid that the Second Young Master would find trouble with Madam. Jiang Yanshen had considered all aspects before arranging thepany¡¯s internal matters. Unknowingly, he had subconsciously put Lin Qingqian¡¯s matter before his work. After the new year, Lin Qingqian invited thepany¡¯s employees for a meal and then arranged the work schedules for this year. Other than maintaining their rtionships with the celebrities they had worked with before and building a good rtionship with the brands, they also had to expand their new coboration and establish connections with first-tier domestic magazines. Lin Qingqian had personally negotiated with the few men¡¯s clothing brands that Han Liubai had screened previously. In the end, they agreed to be fixed partners, and would work hard to push their national style to the international level. There were several international fashion shows at the Spring Festival. Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang had both received invitations from various brands. Lin Qingqian had no choice but to take time out of her busy schedule to fly to Paris with them first, then to London¡­ Firstly, it was to help them with styling. Secondly, it was to see the designs of international designers. Luo Tianxue was fortunate enough to be invited to London¡¯s fashion show where Lin Qingqian had chosen another of her Master¡¯s cheongsam for her to wear. This time, it was a bright red cheongsam with golden threads embroidered with the nirvana of a mythical beast in Chinese mythology. Although it had been a year, not only did Luo Tianxue not gain weight, but she had also lost two pounds. Her figure was slender and modelesque which made her look gentle in a cheongsam and with her holding a small fan, she vividly disyed the elegance of an oriental woman. On the other hand, Lu Qinshang¡¯s suit for the red carpet was specially designed by a domestic brand. It was filled with Chinese elements and attracted the attention of foreign media. He even received praise from the top fashion icons overseas. Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang¡¯s names also appeared on the media channels overseas and were immediately trending on Weibo. The fans were all helping their idols, and Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo fans started rising again. Su Ying called to say that many celebrities were asking if there were any other cheongsams as they also wanted to wear a cheongsam to walk the red carpet as well. If it really didn¡¯t work, they could buy one. Lin Qingqian asked Su Ying to appease them as her Master¡¯s cheongsams were only for borrowing and not for sale. If they wanted to wear it, they had to follow the procedure. Lin Qingqian had just hung up the phone when she heard Lu Qinshang¡¯s shouting¡ª ¡°F*ck! F*ck!! How can I be so handsome!!¡± She turned around and saw Lu Qinshang standing in front of the mirror, looking smug. The event had already ended, but he still couldn¡¯t bear to take off his clothes. ¡°Strip.¡± Lin Qingqian said expressionlessly. Lu Qinshang was stunned. He immediately covered his chest with both hands and looked terrified. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t mess around! Even if Ah Yan isn¡¯t here, I won¡¯t do anything to let my brother down.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°I¡¯ve seen thick-skinned people, but I¡¯ve never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you.¡± A light and pleasant voice sounded as a delicate figure slowly walked in.. Chapter 188 - 188: What Happened Last Night? Chapter 188: What Happened Last Night? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang turned around and rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Why are you everywhere?!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not the only Chinese celebrity invited to the red carpet this time!¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s pink lips curled up as she said proudly, ¡°And I¡¯m sorry, I stole your number one spot on the trending chart again!!¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Lu Qinshang scoffed. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that you¡¯ve spent money to appear on the trending chart again.¡± Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue. ¡°I have money and nowhere to spend it. Are you green with envy?¡± Just as the two of them were about to fight, Lin Qingqian stopped them. ¡°Hurry up and return the clothes to me. Then, go find your Moms and go back home.¡± Luo Tianxue walked in front of her and held her arm intimately before saying happily, ¡°Qingqian, your style this time is very sessful! I¡¯ll buy this cheongsam! I have a party tonight. Can youe with me?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lu Qinshang refused immediately. ¡°She¡¯s attending my party tonight.¡± Luo Tianxue red at him with watery eyes. ¡°Lu Qinshang, do you have to fight with me?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his chin. ¡°So what if I do? If you have the ability, call Lu Dongcheng to beat me up.¡± Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Lu Dongcheng isn¡¯t as childish as you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m childish? I¡¯m so mature and charming¡­¡± Without waiting for Lu Qinshang to finish speaking, Lin Qingqian raised her hand to interrupt him, then pulled her arm out of Luo Tianxue¡¯s hand. ¡°The two of you can argue slowly. I won¡¯t participate in your parties since you all already know how to have fun. I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first. ¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Luo Tianxue pulled her back, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lu Qinshang also looked at her curiously. Both of them stared at her, as if they were not going to let her go until she told the truth. Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m going to participate in a charity auction.¡± Luo Tianxue was even more curious, ¡°Charity auction? Qingqian, you have too much money to spend?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­No.¡± What a heart-wrenching statement! Lu Qinshang: ¡°Then why are you going to the charity auction?¡± Lin Qingqian was held back by the two of them so she had no choice but to tell them the truth. Designer L has donated a male outfit to charity and it will be auctioned tonight. The money from the auction would be donated to children with heart disease so that they could have money for surgery. After finding out, Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang found it meaningful. Most importantly, they also wanted to see Designer L¡¯s work. Hence, the two of them decided to not attend the party and attend the charity auction with Lin Qingqian. The auction venue was not far from the show venue. It was a mere twenty-minute anve. When Lin Qingqian and the rest arrived, the auction was about to start and there were already many people sitting in the venue. When Xu Wan, who was sitting in the first row, saw Lin Qingqian, she turned her head and whispered a few words to the person beside her. After a while, a man in a suit walked over and invited them to sit in the first row. ¡°Secretary Xu.¡± Lin Qingqian greeted her. Xu Wan smiled. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect President Lin to be interested in doing charity at such a young age.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°I¡¯m ashamed to say this. I came to see Designer L¡¯s work. I heard that his work will be auctioned tonight.¡± Xu Wan nodded. ¡°Our President has always had the habit of doing charity. He hopes that he can help more people this way.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s admiration for L increased. ¡°He must be a kind and gentle person.¡± Xu Wan smiled. The emcee on stage walked to the microphone and began tonight¡¯s charity auction. The first few pieces were all jewelry, and there were also some calligraphy paintings. They were bought one after another at a low price. Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang were about to fall asleep when the staff finally pushed out an exhibition cab. There was a ck suit jacket hanging in the transparent ss cab. It looked no different from an ordinary suit, but the designer was said to have taken three months to make it. Both the needlework and the cufflinks had been done in the most unique way. There was no way for it to be imitated by machines or people. Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm eyes lit up when she saw the suit. These were the clothes that the Master had designed and personally made!! The auctioneer first introduced Xu Wan and then the clothes. Soon, he announced the starting price of 100,000 yuan. Every bid thereafter was an increase of a further 100,000. Lin Qingqian raised the first sign for tonight without hesitation. Lu Qinshang stroked his chin. ¡°The clothes look good, but spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a piece of clothing is really painful.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡°What do you know? This is called charity. Besides, are these clothes made by ordinary people? They were made by Master L!¡± Lu Qinshang red at her as if mocking herck of knowledge. In retaliation, Luo Tianxue raised her chin. ¡°It¡¯s necessary.¡± Lu Qinshang: While the two of them were bickering, two people had already raised their cards and drove the bid to 400,000 yuan. Lin Qingqian then raised her card for the third time. It was expensive, but it was worth it for her idol and charity. A man in a ck top hat raised his sign again¡ª500,ooo. Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was holding the sign tightened involuntarily. Another bid would be 600,000 yuan. Seeing that she was hesitating, Lu Qinshang turned his head and whispered, ¡°Is your budget not enough? I can think of a way for you!¡± Lin Qingqian turned in his direction and heard him say, ¡°Call Ah Yan and say that you want to buy him clothes. I guarantee that I¡¯ll be able to transfer money to you in minutes.¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at him. ¡°If youe up with such a bad idea again, I¡¯ll make you walk the red carpet naked next time. Do you believe me?¡± Lu Qinshang immediately shut up! ¡°700,000.¡± Luo Tianxue suddenly raised the sign. Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang looked at her at the same time. Lin Qingqian looked up at the clothes on the stage, her eyes filled with reluctance and struggle. She really wanted to buy them, but it was also true that she couldn¡¯t afford them. The person who had just raised the sign raised it again¡ª800,ooo yuan. When Luo Tianxue wanted to raise her card again, Lin Qingqian said indifferently, ¡°If you raise it again, it will reach 900,000 yuan.¡± ¡°900,000 yuan it is.¡± Luo Tianxue said disapprovingly, ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have money.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to give her a blow, but she didn¡¯t want to be detained by the auction house when she couldn¡¯t swipe her cardter. Therefore, she kindly reminded her, ¡°It¡¯s in British Pounds.¡± Luo Tianxue came back to her senses immediately and took a deep breath. ¡°How much is 900,000 Pounds?¡± Lu Qinshang, who was enjoying the show, chuckled and said, ¡°Not much, not much. Just over eight million yuan.¡± ¡°Pa!¡± The sign in Luo Tianxue¡¯s hand broke. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disrupt everyone.¡± If she spent more than eight million yuan to buy a piece of clothing, she might lose her legs when she returned. The auctioneer struck the hammer twice and was about to ce it for the third time when someone raised the sign behind her¡ª The auctioneer shouted excitedly, ¡°900,000.¡± There was an uproar. Everyone turned around at the same time to look at the person holding the sign. The other party was in a very dark corner. The lighting was not good, so his facial features couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. The man who had beenpeting with Lin Qingqian held the sign and hesitated a few times before giving up. Just like that, the item now belonged to an unknown person. Lin Qingqian was a little disappointed. She stood up and greeted Xu Wan before leaving with Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue. Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but tease, ¡°It actually cost 8 million yuan to buy a piece of clothing. What kind of halfwit pea-brain would spend like this?¡± Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes at him. ¡°Maybe he just wants to do charity.¡± After saying that, heforted Lin Qingqian, ¡°Qingqian, don¡¯t be unhappy. I¡¯ll treat you to a feast.¡± Lin Qingqian moved the corners of her lips. ¡°No need. I¡¯m a little tired and want to go back to the hotel to rest.¡± ¡°No!¡± Luo Tianxue hugged her arm and wheedled, ¡°I apanied you to the charity auction and didn¡¯t even attend the party. Just apany me to eat something.¡± Lin Qingqian really wanted to say that she hadn¡¯t asked for herpanionship, but in the end, she couldn¡¯t resist her coaxing and pestering. Lu Qinshang also wanted to freeload, but he was ruthlessly rejected by Luo Tianxue. Luo Tianxue used the room card to unlock the room. As she turned on the lights, she said, ¡°Qingqian, take a seat. I¡¯ll go to the cafeteria to order food and get them to send it to the room for us to eat.¡± Lin Qingqian was puzzled. ¡°Can¡¯t we just order food over the phone?¡± Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes and smiled. ¡°How can I tell if the food will taste good without seeing the pictures? I prefer to order in the cafeteria and eat in my room. Wait for me here.¡± Just as she was about to close the door, she thought of something and turned around. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, go to bed and rest for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what she was up to and couldn¡¯t be bothered to guess. Thus, she walked to the sofa and sat down. Due to the time difference and the fact that she had been busy with work recently, her entire body tense. At this moment, She finally able to rx a little. She leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes to rest, only to fall asleep unknowingly. She was in a daze when she heard rustling sounds. It seemed like someone was talking. Right on the heels of that, she felt as if she was floating in the air. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired. Her eyelids couldn¡¯t open, and she fell asleep again after a while. Lin Qingqian woke up from her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying on afortable bed. The curtains were not closed tightly, and a golden light shone out from the gap. She slowly got up, and her muddled mind gradually cleared up. She looked down and saw that she was not wearing the clothes from yesterday, but¡­ a man¡¯s shirt. Instantly, all the hairs on her body stood on end. Without thinking, she lifted the nket and got out of bed. She did not even have time to put on her slippers before she pushed open the door. ¡°Luo Tian¡­¡± Her voice stopped abruptly, and she was dumbfounded. There were several foreign men sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Jiang Yanshen was sitting on the armchair opposite. He was wearing a ck shirt that was buttoned up to his neck. The cufflinks were neatly buttoned, entuating the lines of his arm muscles. The men looked at Lin Qingqian and then at Jiang Yanshen. Their blue eyes widened as if they had discovered something extraordinary. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened when he saw her running out in just a shirt and shoes. The meeting was adjourned, and everyone left immediately. When there were only the two of them left in the room, Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was still in a daze. Jiang Yanshen brought over a pair of slippers and ced them by her feet. ¡°Put on your shoes.¡± Lin Qingqian finally came back to her senses. ¡°Where is this? Why am I here? And why are you here?¡± ¡°What happenedst night?¡± She remembered that she had fallen asleep in Luo Tianxue¡¯s room.. Chapter 189 - 189: I Turned Off The Lights So I Didn ‘t See Anything. â€� Chapter 189: I Turned Off The Lights So I Didn ¡®t See Anything. ¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer any of her questions. His gazended on her fair feet. ¡°Be good and put on your shoes.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t win against him, so she could only put on her slippers first before looking up at him with a pair of clear eyes. Jiang Yanshen naturally took her hand and walked to the dining table before letting go. ¡°Sit.¡± His well-defined fingers unscrewed the cap of the bottle and ced a cup of water in front of her. As he walked to the clothes rack, he made a call. ¡°Send two breakfasts and a cup of coffee.¡± After ending the call, he turned around and covered her thigh with his suit jacket. She was wearing his shirt. Although it was wide enough to cover her thighs, she would easily expose herself once she sat down. Lin Qingqian felt a warmth on her legs. Her long and curled eyshes fluttered as she stared at him without blinking. Jiang Yanshen pulled out the chair beside him and sat down. He exined patiently, ¡°Lu Dongcheng called mest night and said that you were in his room.¡± ¡°Lu Dongcheng?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm features were filled with surprise and confusion. ¡°He came to London too? No, I was clearly in Luo Tianxue¡¯s¡­¡± She suddenly paused and thought of something. The expensive suit on herp fell to the ground as she looked around. ¡°Cell phone, where¡¯s my cell phone?¡± Jiang Yanshen picked up the suit and ced it on the back of the chair. He held her wrist and pursed his thin lips. He coaxed her softly, ¡°Eat breakfast first. I¡¯ll bring it to you after you¡¯re done.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could finish her words, he interrupted her. ¡°Be good.¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip and didn¡¯t say anything. Her in face was filled with anger, and the anger in her chest kept burning. She couldn¡¯t wait to fly in front of Luo Tianxue and kill her. Jiang Yanshen knew that she was angry and handed her the water. ¡°I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t befortable sleeping in your clothes and thus, I helped you change your clothes. Lu Dongcheng didn¡¯t touch you.¡± He wouldn¡¯t dare to either. Ever since thest incident, he had spread the word in the industry that Lin Qingqian was his woman. Anyone with a brain in the industry wouldn¡¯t dare to have designs on Lin Qingqian, let alone his buddy, Lu Dongcheng. Lin Qingqian raised her brows and looked at him coldly. ¡°You changed it for me?!¡± Jiang Yanshen coughed lightly and said in a low voice, ¡°I turned off the lights so I didn¡¯t see anything.¡± ¡°Really¡­?¡± The light tone was drawn out. No matter how one listened, there was a feeling of danger everywhere. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly. He thought for a moment and said hesitantly, ¡°If you¡¯re really angry, you can help me change once.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Dream on!!! Lu Yuan knocked on the door and pushed the dining cart in. There were two English breakfasts and a cup of Americano on it. Lin Qingqian was not used to eating western style breakfast so she casually ate a few mouthfuls before putting it down. When she saw the man beside her drinking coffee leisurely, her eyes were filled with confusion. How on earth could he take this kind of coffee without milk or sugar? Jiang Yanshen seemed to know what she was thinking and nced sideways. ¡°Do you want to try it?¡± Lin Qingqian rejected decisively. ¡°No need, thank you.¡± Jiang Yanshen finished his coffee and got up to get her cell phone. There were a fewWeChat notifications on her cell phone that she had not read. When Lin Qingqian opened them, they were all from Su Ying and Han Liuhai, regarding work. She quickly replied and dialed Luo Tianxue¡¯s number. However, the user¡¯s phone was turned off. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Jiang Yanshen walked over and took her phone away. He handed her the bag in his hand. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll take you somewhere.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at him. Her gazended on the bag, and through the open gap, she could see that it was a set of women¡¯s clothes. 15 minutester, Lin Qingqian walked out of the room. She wore a white fluffy sweater with a red cashmere coat and a pair of tight pants. Coupled with her short boots and long dark hair draping over her shoulders, she exuded a gentle and graceful aura. Jiang Yansheng¡¯s deep eyes lit up, and his throat bobbed a few times. ¡°Where are we going?¡± she asked. ¡®You¡¯ll know if you follow me.¡± Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and went forward to hold her wrist. He turned around and walked towards the door. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. Her gaze fell on the cold and white fingers on her wrist, and she thought, ¡°Isn¡¯t he holding my hand too naturally??¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled her out of the room but didn¡¯t go anywhere else. Instead, he pushed open the door of the room next door. Lin Qingqian followed him into the house and saw something ced in the living room. It was covered with a ck cloth and she couldn¡¯t see what it was. Jiang Yanshen let go. ¡°Open it and take a look.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what he wanted to do, and her suspicious gaze shifted from his exquisite face to the ck cloth. She slowly walked forward and hesitated for a few seconds. Her slender fingers grabbed the ck cloth and pulled it down¡­ The ck cloth fell to the ground, and a disy cab more than a meter tall appeared in front of her. In the ss cab hung the clothes donated by designer L at the charity auctionst night. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. Jiang Yanshen walked to her side and asked in a low voice, ¡°Are you still angry?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses, and her eyes were still a little dazed. ¡°You¡¯re the halfwit pea-brain that Lu Qinshang mentioned about spending more than 8 million yuan to buy a piece of clothing?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Lu Qinshang had sent a WeChat message to him saying that she liked a piece of clothing, but the price was very high, so he sent someone to buy it. He thought that he could make her happy, but he never expected¡­ Lu Qinshang, I¡¯ll remember this. Lin Qingqian¡¯s dazed mind gradually cleared up. ¡°You spent so much money just to make me happy? Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes to look at her. The gentleness in his ck eyes could drip water. ¡°I can still earn back the money after spending it. As long as you¡¯re happy, it¡¯s worth it no matter how much money I spend.¡± ¡®Why?¡± She asked. Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes and was silent for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Just take it that I want topensate you for what happened in the past.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Even if I won¡¯t be with you again?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up. He reached out and swept the hair behind her ear, letting out a low ¡°Mm¡±. Lin Qingqian¡¯s long eyshes drooped and trembled slightly. After a few seconds of silence, she said, ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. You don¡¯t owe me anything¡­ Before she could finish speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door. ¡°Ah Yan¡ª¡± The two of them turned their heads at the same time. Lu Qinshang walked in in his ck pajamas and yawned. ¡°Why did you get another room?¡± Before they could speak, Lu Qinshang saw the clothes in the cab and frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t some halfwit pea-brain take these clothes yesterday? Why are they here?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t notice the sudden drop in temperature in the room and turned to look at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian gave him a look that said, ¡°You¡¯re on your own.¡± Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t notice anything amiss. When his gaze met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes, he felt a chill down his spine. ¡°Ah Yan, so that halfwit pea-brain is¡­¡± ¡°You¡± was stuck in his throat and he didn¡¯t dare to say it out loud. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features didn¡¯t change much. He just looked down at Lin Qingqian and said gently, ¡°Go next door and wait for me for a few minutes.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, his dark eyes were filled with sharpness when he looked at Lu Qinshang¡­ Lu Qinshang¡¯s chrysanthemums tightened. ¡°Ah Yan, calm down¡­ Impulsiveness is the devil! Ah Yan, we¡¯re brothers¡­ Ah Yan, Lin Qingqian is still here. You¡¯ll scare her if you¡¯re too violent.. ¡® Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them. She ignored Lu Qinshang¡¯s pleading gaze and turned to leave. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t go¡­ I¡¯m an investor, your sugar daddy¡­¡± Lin Qingqian stopped at the door and turned back to look at them. Lu Qinshang instantly saw hope. Before his happiness could reach his eyes, he heard her heartless voice. ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t ruin my idol¡¯s work piece.¡± Jiang Yanshen had already taken off his suit jacket and unbuttoned his cufflinks before he said dotingly, ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Qinshang: There is no love in this world!! 10 minutester. Lin Qingqian heard that Lu Qinshang was no longer screaming next door, so she got up to knock on the door. She pushed the door open and saw Lu Qinshang getting up from the sofa in a disheveled state. He held his waist with one hand while Jiang Yanshen started to put on his coat and button it. Oh, this scene¡­ It was hard not to think crookedly. Jiang Yanshen had just buttoned up when his cell phone suddenly rang. He signaled Lin Qingqian with his eyes and went out to answer the call. When Lu Qinshang saw Lin Qingqian, he said angrily, ¡°What kind of look is that? I suspect that you¡¯re crazy.¡± Lin Qingqian was expressionless. ¡°I¡¯m not, I¡¯m not. Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Lu Qinshang snorted coldly. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you still have a heart? Do you still remember who invested 50 million yuan in you?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Then do you still remember who transferred the money you received before the New Year? Who styled you?¡± Lu Qinshang: He suddenly understood how Second Young Master Jiang felt every time he was beaten up by Jiang Yanshen! Lin Qingqian walked to the disy cab and looked at the clothes through the ss. Her eyes were filled with stars, not inferior to the joy and excitement of a fangirl when she saw her idol. Lu Qinshang rubbed his waist as he walked up to her. He couldn¡¯t understand her admiration for a piece of clothing. ¡°Is it that good? It looks average to me.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°What do you know? Every piece of Master L¡¯s design has its own unique design concept! What you see is not just a piece of clothing, but the designer¡¯s soul.¡± The corners of Lu Qinshang¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. ¡°You make it sound so special. Tell me, what is the design concept of this piece? Lin Qingqian knew that he was ayman who didn¡¯t understand, so she exined patiently, ¡°This piece is Master L¡¯s most treasured work. Other than the fact that the fabric is rare and precious, its tailoring is also very meticulous. Most importantly¡ª¡± She paused and pointed at the cuff of the suit. ¡°Look, isn¡¯t there a sun hidden in the clouds embroidered on the sleeve?¡± Lu Qinshang followed the direction of her fingertip and saw it. He nodded. ¡°Look at the cor of the shirt again¡­¡± Only then did Lu Qinshang notice that there was a sun embroidered on the right side of its cor. ¡°Master L said that no matter what kind of darkness we are in, as long as we persevere, we will always be able to see the light.¡± When Lin Qingqian mentioned her idol, her expression changed, and her eyes glowed. ¡°I used to think that I could only hold on to a hopeless marriage for the rest of my life until Master L said that everyone should do whatever they want.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the man who had returned with her phone suddenly stopped in his tracks.. Chapter 191 - 191: The Leader of the Era Chapter 191: The Leader of the Era Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The rejection was straightforward and left no room for negotiation. However, Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t annoyed and her eyes were calm. ¡°Is it convenient for me to know the reason?¡± Vin flicked the cigarette butt with her good-looking fingers, and the silver ashes fell silently. Her red lips moved slightly. ¡°I¡¯ve seen your style. You admire our national style too much. Although you can gain poprity for a while, you¡¯re ultimately not going to be mainstream.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gentle brows furrowed slightly, but he was not in a hurry to refute. He subconsciously looked at the quiet woman beside him. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were calm as she said unhurriedly, ¡°The national style is indeed not mainstream, whether it¡¯s now or in the future, but right now, ¡®Z¡¯ needs it very much.¡± Vin frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°In the past two years, the sales of ¡®Z¡¯ have been declining day by day, but you still insist on not inviting traffic and not doing any gimmicks. I admire your moral character, but with all due respect, the end result is that you will be eliminated by history.¡± Lin Qingqian bluntly pointed out the biggest problem of ¡®Z¡¯ magazine now. Vin¡¯s exquisite features were filled with anger. ¡°You mean we should go with the flow and film whoever is popr and follow the trend?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled lightly and shook her head. Her red lips said word by word, ¡°What I mean is¡­ we should be the leader of an era, not followers of the trend. ¡± Vin was stunned. Her pupils constricted. She looked at the woman in front of her in surprise and disbelief. To be a leader ot the era was easier said than done. ¡°The leader of the era?¡± Vin¡¯s red lips twitched slightly, and her tone was stern. ¡°Who do you think you are? How arrogant!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not the leader of this era, nor is it anyone.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm voice was neither humble nor arrogant as she said, ¡°It¡¯s a group of people who stick to their initial hearts and dreams. It¡¯s everyone who wants to make this world beautiful.¡± Not to mention Vin, even Han Liubai¡¯s eyes lit up at this. Her words were full of power and hope. They were more like a spring, irrigating all those who harbored the seeds of their dreams, allowing them to sprout and grow. The anger in Vin¡¯s heart gradually dissipated. She looked at her delicate face and was in a daze. She didn¡¯t even react when the cigarette butt burned her fingertips. Then, Lin Qingqian took her cigarette and extinguished it on the trash can beside her. ¡°Everyone knows how to say nice things!¡± Vin came back to her senses and said in a clear voice, ¡°How can I believe that you can really do it?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°Just say what you have to say.¡± Vin nced around the studio. ¡°Li Wenwen is not in the right state for filming. If you can settle it for me, I¡¯ll seriously consider working with you.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed without hesitation. ¡°Okay.¡± In the lounge. Li Wenwen sat in front of the mirror while the makeup artist touched up her makeup. Lin Qingqian knocked on the door and entered. Li Wenwen¡¯s eyelids lifted slightly as she sized up Lin Qingqian. ¡°Hello, Miss Li. I¡¯m Lin Qingqian. I¡¯ll be your styling consultant for the uing shoot.¡± Lin Qingqian went straight to the point. Li Wenwen frowned. ¡°You?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Chief Editor Vin has already agreed.¡± Li Wenwen raised her eyebrows slightly and said calmly, ¡°In that case, alright.¡± Lin Qingqian nced sideways at the makeup artist. ¡°There¡¯s no need to touch up her makeup. Help her remove her makeup.¡± The makeup artist was stunned. ¡°Huh? Remove her makeup?¡± She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell to the ground. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Remove her makeup and change her clothes.¡± The makeup artist didn¡¯t move and looked at Li Wenwen carefully. Li Wenwen¡¯s expression was calm. After ncing at Lin Qingqian, she said, ¡°Do as she says.¡± With Li Wenwen¡¯s cooperation, Lin Qingqian went to set up the venue. Although the sales of ¡°Z¡± magazine were not as good as before, the team was experienced. Even though they changed the filming set at thest minute, their actions were very fast. In the chaos, they met Lin Qingqian¡¯s requirements in an hour. When Vin and Li Wenwen walked into the studio, they were stunned. The originally small studio was paved with a greenwn by Lin Qingqian, and ayer of silver ashes wasid on thewn. Vin looked at Lin Qingqian in confusion. ¡°Do you know what the theme of our next issue is?¡± ¡°Spring¡± Lin Qingqian replied softly. Every year, ¡°Z¡± would release a theme that matched the four seasons. The next issue would be the theme of ¡°Spring¡±. ¡°Then why did you change the setting to¡­¡± Vin paused and chose her words carefully. ¡°The wilderness? This is the opposite of our theme.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Who said that spring must be filled with greenery? Haven¡¯t you heard of the saying¡ªThe wildfire burns unceasingly, but the soring wind brings rebirth?¡± Vin was stunned. Li Wenwen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Your idea is very special. May I ask why you want me to change into this white dress?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her. ¡°I don¡¯t have any special intentions. It¡¯s just that when I was young, I ran around in the wilderness and saw my sister in a white dress running in the fields. The ashes dyed the dress ck and it felt very artistic.¡± Li Wenwen did not ask any more questions and let the photographer start filming. Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai stood at the side and watched, while Vin watched the cameraman take real-time photos in front of the screen. After changing into the set and costume, Li Wenwen looked much more natural in front of the camera. She didn¡¯t even need the photographer to advise her on poses. It was as if she had already integrated herself into this scene. Halfway through the filming, Vin no longer needed to stare at the monitor. She walked in front of Lin Qingqian. ¡°Looks like I was wrong previously. You¡¯re a very talented stylist.¡± ¡°Thank you for your praise. I wonder if we can talk about cooperation now.¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Vin nodded. ¡°Of course. I look forward to working with you.¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. She paused for a moment and said, ¡°Pardon me for asking, but are you nning to sell this issue of the magazine both as hardcopy and softcopy?¡± Now that the Inte was developed and the physical industry had suffered a blow, many magazines began to make electronic magazines to seize the market in order to keep up with the trend. Z reacted a little slower in this aspect. Compared to the electronic sales of the other two magazines, it was weak and couldn¡¯t improve. Vin looked doubtful. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°This is just my personal suggestion. If you don¡¯t mind, you can listen to me first.¡± Lin Qingqian suggested to not sell electronic version for their next issue, but release the filming highlights for free in advance. Firstly, Li Wenwen was not a popr celebrity to begin with, so the production of an electronic magazine couldn¡¯t increase their sales. Secondly, since Z Magazine had a shoring in this aspect, it should y to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. It could just specialize in physical sales. Vin felt that what she said made sense, but the specifics still needed to be discussed with a few departments as it was not up to her to decide. This was an internal matter of thepany, so Lin Qingqian naturally wouldn¡¯t say much. After confirming the opportunity for cooperation, she left with Han Liubai. Before leaving, Li Wenwen¡¯s manager came over and took the initiative to ask for Lin Qingqian¡¯s business card. The coboration with Z was quickly finalized. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t forget what she said before. She wanted to treat Han Liubai¡¯s friend to a meal. A light shed in Han Liubai¡¯s eyes. He said gently, ¡°My friend is overseas. Why don¡¯t I help you make an appointment next time?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I see. Then you must inform me when your friendes back.¡± Han Liubai smiled. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°I have to thank you for this.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the time on theputer. ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to dinner tonight. Call Suisui, Xiaoying, and the rest over.¡± Han Liubai was about to say no, but Suisui bounced in and said happily, ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re treating? Then I¡¯ll quickly book a restaurant.¡± ¡°You¡¯re more enthusiastic than anyone else when ites to eating.¡± Lin Qingqian red at her. ¡°No.¡± Suisui denied it righteously. ¡°I promise I¡¯ll be more proactive if you bring Lu Qinshang.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® Han Liubai: ¡°¡­ ¡® The two of them looked at each other helplessly. Suisui skipped out to book a restaurant. Suisui did not book a table in the most popr hotpot restaurant. She booked a private room in another hotpot restaurant. As the four of them ate and chatted, Suisui suddenly cursed. She was so angry that she almost threw her cell phone into the hotpot. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Ying asked curiously. Suisui looked up and said indignantly, ¡°Qianqian, we¡¯re being scolded on the trending searches.¡± Lin Qingqian took out her phone and opened Weibo to see the trending topic #Shi Guang Studio and Z Magazine#. When she clicked on it, she saw that the official Weibo ount of Z Magazine had announced its cooperation with Shi Guang Studio. At the same time, it revealed the depth of the styling consultant for the next issue¡¯s theme, ¡°Ash¡±. Thements were not anticipation or congrattions, but doubts and abuse. Shi Guang Studio only knew how to create gimmicks and traffic to benefit from the interest in the national style. A powerful magazine like Z coborating with Shi Guang Studio was basically ruining their own reputation. The loyal fans of Z Magazine were instiga ted and strongly requested to cancel their coboration with Shi Guang Studio and not do anything retro. There were even many people who scolded Qianqian. It was actually a team operation and not something done by a single person at all. Otherwise, why would they not dare to appear? Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo and Shi Guang Studio¡¯s official Weibo ount received a lot of malicious attacks. Su Ying said worriedly, ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯ll go and publish a public rtions article.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled calmly. ¡°No need. Continue eating.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Suisui was surprised. ¡°They¡¯re already scolding you like this. How can you still eat?¡± Han Liubai didn¡¯t use Weibo. When he heard Suisui¡¯s words, he only turned his head and couldn¡¯t hide the worry in his gentle eyes. Lin Qingqian picked up a yellow trout with a te and said, ¡°So be it if they scold me. It¡¯s not like I¡¯ll lose a piece of flesh. If I don¡¯t eat properly, I might really lose a kilogram of flesh.¡± Suisui ¡°¡­¡± This reason¡­ was so powerful that no one could refute it. Lin Qingqian could keep herposure, but Vin could not. She called after a while. Lin Qingqian let them continue eating while she went out to answer the call. There was no need to be anxious aboutforting Vin. Everything would go ording to n, and there was no need to specially eliminate the negativements on the Inte. As long as the next issue of the magazine was released, all the negativements on the Inte would naturally be shattered. Vin was relieved to see that Lin Qingqian was even calmer than her. She was familiar with the few spam ounts and managed to get some information. Before hanging up, she hinted to her that this matter was premeditated and waspletely directed at her.. Chapter 192 - 192: I Want You to Be My Sister-in-law Chapter 192: I Want You to Be My Sister-inw Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian thanked her for her good intentions. When she hung up the phone and turned around, she didn¡¯t notice the waiter passing by with the hot pot base. Just as they were about to collide, a gentle and anxious voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Be careful!¡± A warm palm grabbed her slender waist and pulled her out of harm¡¯s way. Everything happened too quickly. When Lin Qingqian came back to her senses, the hand on her waist had already been retracted. The man¡¯s concerned voice rang in her ears once more. ¡°Are you alright?¡± She looked up and met the man¡¯s gentle and worried eyes. She shook her head gently. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you, Xiao Bai.¡± Han Liubai looked at her with a warm gaze. ¡°I told you, you don¡¯t have to thank me ever again.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s in features were filled with confusion. He had said thatst time, but she didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Han Liubai¡¯s long eyshes drooped, and a faint self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. ¡°Looks like you still don¡¯t remember me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s pupils constricted slightly. ¡°We¡­ knew each other in the past?¡± That shouldn¡¯t be the case! She hadn¡¯t lost her memory before. If she had seen him before, how could she not remember? ¡°You saved someone before and even sent him to the hospital and paid for his medical expenses. Do you still remember?¡± He looked at her expectantly with his eyes that were as ck as basalt. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she reacted. ¡°Ah¡­ it¡¯s you!¡± Seeing that she remembered, Han Liubai¡¯s frown faded. He nodded. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t saved me that night, I would have left this world.¡± Lin Qingqian was very surprised. She didn¡¯t expect that the person she saved when she was in a bad mood that night to be Xiao Bai. ¡°You didn¡¯t apply for this job just to repay a debt of gratitude, right?¡± she joked. Han Liubai lowered his head and smiled. He looked at her with sparkling eyes. ¡°What if I say yes?¡± ¡°Then I don¡¯t have to give out your bonuses in the future.¡± He smiled gently. ¡°I don¡¯t mind even if you don¡¯t pay me.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare, I wouldn¡¯t dare. If word gets out, who would dare toe to mypany? Han Liubai smiled without saying anything. Lin Qingqian retracted her smile and said seriously, ¡°That night was nothing. If it was anyone else, I would have saved them too. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± ¡°Although that¡¯s true,¡± Han Liufei¡¯s lips twitched slightly. His tone was light and firm. ¡°I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life.¡± His gentle eyes were like thousands of stars, shining brightly. The news about ¡°Z¡± magazine and Shi Guang Studio was widely discussed on the Inte for two days before it lost its poprity to the trending topics of other celebrities. As for who was behind the scenes, Lin Qingqian was not in a hurry to investigate. She continued to be busy with thepany every day. When she received Luo Tianxue¡¯s call, it had just rained in Lan City. The air was thick and humid, and her body felt cold. When Lin Qingqian entered the clubhouse, she reported her name and was led into a private room by the manager. Luo Tianxue. who was sitting on the sofa. immediatelv stood uD and walked over when she saw her. She was warm and cautious, ¡°Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm. Her calm eyes swept across the two men sitting on the sofa beforending on Luo Tianxue¡¯s face. ¡°Miss Luo.¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s smile froze. ¡°Qingqian, don¡¯t be like this. I was wrong.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her indifferently from the corner of her eye and didn¡¯t say anything. Lu Dongcheng¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Miss Lin, please take a seat.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the dining table before instructing the attendant to serve the dishes. Lin Qingqian walked forward, picked a seat that was not close to anyone, and sat down. Her gazended on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face and couldn¡¯t help but linger for a few more seconds. She hadn¡¯t seen him since she returned from London. After not seeing him for a few days, he looked much thinner. His face was pale, and he couldn¡¯t hide the fatigue between his brows. Was he not feeling well recently? Just as she was feeling puzzled, the man got up from the sofa and walked over to sit beside her. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but nce at him a few more times when the familiar refreshing scent swept past her nose, mixed with a faint medicinal smell. Jiang Yanshen sat on the chair, his features pale. He picked up the tea that Lu Dongcheng had poured and took a sip without saying anything. Luo Tianxue walked to Lu Dongcheng¡¯s side and stood there. The usually delicate peony flower was now as listless as frost. Lu Dongcheng raised his eyelids and nced at her. Luo Tianxue pursed her pink lips and handed the teacup to Lin Qingqian. ¡°Qingqian, I¡¯m sorry. I was wrong. Can you forgive me?¡± Lin Qingqian sat there without moving. Her clear eyes nced at her, and for a moment, she did not take the cup. ¡°Miss Luo, ever since we met, I¡¯ve never done anything wrong to you. Regardless of whether you wanted to please President Lu or to get rid of me, did you have to scheme against me like this?¡± Luo Tianxue was stunned. She blinked as if she didn¡¯t understand what she meant. Jiang Yanshen and Lu Dongcheng looked at each other, as if they had realized something, but kept it a secret. ¡°I-I wasn¡¯t scheming against you.¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s clear voice muttered softly, ¡°I just want you to be my sister-inw.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened. Lu Dongcheng, on the other hand, had a smile on his thin lips as he leisurely sipped his tea and watched the show. Luo Tianxue looked at her with sparkling eyes. ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re divorced from Jiang Yanshen now anyway. Although Lu Dongcheng isn¡¯t that good, he¡¯s still better than Jiang Yanshen. Marry him and be my sister-inw. I promise I won¡¯t let him bully you!¡± ¡°Sister-inw?¡± No matter how calm she was, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but reveal a surprised expression. Her eyes darted between Lu Dongcheng and Luo Tianxue. Lu Dongcheng saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s visibly dark expression and tried to clear his name. ¡°Let me make it clear first that I didn¡¯t know about this beforehand. Besides¡­ you¡¯re not my cup of tea.¡± Luo Tianxue turned around and red at him. ¡°Your dish is breasts, long legs, and an inte celebrity face. You might as well choose Ruhua. At least you won¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find her when you bring her out.¡± Lu Dongcheng red at her coldly. Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue disapprovingly. The waves in Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart gradually calmed down, and her voice was cold. ¡°You two are siblings? But I have never heard that President Lu has a sister! ¡± Luo Tianxue nodded, her eyes dimming. ¡°My mother is his father¡¯s lover. I take after my mother¡¯s surname and is not included in the Lu family tree.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® To be so good to his father¡¯s illegitimate daughter, she could not help but think highly of Lu Dongcheng. Lu Dongcheng picked up his teacup and took a sip. He said calmly, ¡°Seeing how pitiful she is, I took it as adopting a small animal by the roadside.¡± Luo Tianxue looked at Lin Qingqian seriously. ¡°Qingqian, I really like you and admire you. That¡¯s why I want you to be my sister-inw.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Luo Tianxue couldn¡¯t hide the disappointment on her delicate face. ¡°I understand. I promise that this won¡¯t happen again.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on the teacup in her hand. After hesitating for a moment, she finally took it. ¡°Don¡¯t do it again.¡± Luo Tianxue smiled and raised her hand to swear. ¡°I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Lin Qingqian then lowered her head and drank her tea. It could be considered that she had forgiven her. Seeing that, Luo Tianxue immediately sat beside her and held her arm affectionately. She said eagerly, ¡°I knew Qingqian is the best.¡± Lu Dongcheng nced at Jiang Yanshen. Are you satisfied now? Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t speak from the beginning to the end. The tea in his hand was already cold, so he simply put it down and from his peripheral vision, he saw Luo Tianxue holding Qingqian¡¯s arm. Seeing this sight, he couldn¡¯t help but frown. Luo Tianxue felt his gaze and tilted her head, ¡°What are you looking at? Qingqian has nothing to do with you now. She¡¯s mine.¡± His dark eyes shed with disdain as he shifted his gaze away. He was stingy with even a word. Luo Tianxue snorted lightly and whispered in Lin Qingqian¡¯s ear, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t treat the trash you don¡¯t want as treasure.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Why did these words sound so strange! Lu Dongcheng¡¯s helpless and doting gaze swept across Luo Tianxue¡¯s fair face and looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°In order to express our apology, I will invest 50 million yuan in yourpany.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the teacup and pursed her lips. ¡°No need.¡± Luo Tianxue and Lu Dongcheng were both a little surprised. Right on the heels of that, they heard her indifferent voice. ¡°1 don¡¯t want to be sent to someone¡¯s bed for 50 million next time.¡± Luo Tianxue: Lu Dongcheng couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. Although Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t his type, he had to admit that this woman was quite interesting. The meal was quite pleasant, although Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t open his mouth the entire time and didn¡¯t eat much. He even coughed a few times. After the meal, Lu Dongcheng paid the bill and took Luo Tianxue away. Only the two of them were left in the private room. Lin Qingqian stood up, picked up her coat, and put it on. She nced at the man who had his eyes lowered and had not spoken for the entire night. After hesitating for a moment, she still said, ¡°I¡¯m leaving. Goodbye.¡± She turned to the door and heard a muffled cough behind her. She couldn¡¯t help but stop in her tracks. She turned around and looked at the man¡¯s bent back. Just from his trembling shoulders, she could tell how serious his cough was. Hesitation, struggle, conflict, and emotions were all encapsted in his cougmng. She turned to the table, took a clean ss, filled it with warm water, and handed it to him. When her fair fingers came into view, the man with his fist against his lips froze. It was as if his cough was instantly cured. He looked up at her. Hiske-like eyes stared at her without blinking, as if there was some magic that wanted to suck her in. Seeing that he didn¡¯t move, Lin Qingqian pulled his fist away with her slender fingers and brought the cup to his mouth. ¡°Drink some water.¡± His long eyshes trembled a few times, and his pale thin lips pursed. Warm water entered his throat, alleviating the difort. Lin Qingqian fed him a cup of water and put it down. ¡°Where¡¯s Lu Yuan?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed a few times as he said, ¡°He¡¯s busy.¡± Only then did Lin Qingqian realize that his voice was extremely hoarse. Why did hee out instead of resting at home? ¡°Did the chauffeur send you here?¡± The man looked up at her and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Lu Dongcheng drove.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® She nced at the time and saw that it was already past nine o¡¯clock. She didn¡¯t know how long he would have to wait if he called for his chauffeur. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his lowered eyshes, his eyes filled with surprise¡­ Chapter 193 - 193: Qjanqian, How Did I Lose You Back Then? Chapter 193: Qjanqian, How Did I Lose You Back Then? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Lin Qingqian was about to drive him to the Jiang residence, Jiang Yanshen told her the address of Begonia Courtyard. Begonia Courtyard was a vi area that had been developed in Lan City for a period of time. It was located in the Western District and was surrounded by mountains and water. The ambient air was the best in Lan City. Lin Qingqian knew that he had a lot of properties under his name, but she didn¡¯t know that he had always lived in an estate outside. He opened the door and turned on the lights. What greeted their eyes was a luxurious and low-key renovation style. It was grayish -white and ck. Coupled with the emptiness, it looked especially cold. Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at him. ¡°Have a good rest. I¡¯m going back.¡± She then turned to leave. The man¡¯s fingers grabbed her wrist. When he nced sideways, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes. ¡°Can you¡­ apany me for a while?¡± Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes fluttered, and she pursed his lips without saying a word. His cold fingers tightened silently as he said in a hoarse voice, ¡°The part-time worker will onlye tomorrow. Help me boil some water, cough cough.. Before he could finish speaking, he couldn¡¯t help but cough. He pressed his fist against his lips, and his pale face was dyed an unnatural red from coughing. Lin Qingqian¡¯s thoughts of brushing his hand away and turning around to leave dissipated. ¡°Since you¡¯re not feeling well, why don¡¯t you return to the Jiang residence?¡± The servants in the Jiang residence would take good care of him. Jiang Yanshen stopped coughing, and his dark eyes dimmed a little. He said in a low voice, ¡°Why should I go back? To let her see my half-dead appearance and countdown to my death?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and her tone was slightly cold. She helped him to the sofa and sat down. ¡°Sit for a while. I¡¯ll boil some hot water for you.¡± She turned around and went to the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes stared at her slender back, and the difort in his throat made him cough again. The heart-wrenching coughs kept echoing in the empty house, making it feel even more deste. Lin Qingqian found the kitchen. Although it had all the necessary kitchen utensils, they were still brand new. Clearly, they had never been used before. Did this Dog of a man usually live by drinking water and hanging on to his immortal aura? After cursing in her heart, she took out the kettle and washed it before filling it up with water to boil. When she opened the fridge, it was empty. Other than a few bottles of mineral water, there wasn¡¯t even a vegetable leaf. As expected, he had been relying on his immortal aura to live. She found a cup in the cab, washed it, and filled it with hot water. When she brought it back to the living room, she realized that the man had fallen asleep leaning against the sofa. His cold brows were tightly knitted, and his pale thin lips were tightly pursed. He looked like he was in great pain. Lin Qingqian ced the cup on the coffee table and bent down to look at him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes remained closed and he did not react. Lin Qingqian reached out and pushed his arm. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t sleep here. You¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly. A momentter, his ck eyes slowly opened, his eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Let me help you back to your room.¡± As soon as her fair fingers touched his arm, the man who was lying down suddenly sat up. His slender and strong arms hugged her tightly, not leaving any gaps, as if he wanted to pull her into his blood. Lin Qingqian struggled. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what are you doing¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, she heard his hoarse voice. ¡°Qianqian, how did I lose you back then?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s pushing stopped abruptly. She only felt a ball of hot air revolving around her ears, but her heart was filled with sorrow. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s head was buried in her neck, and his warm lips were pressed against her delicate skin. At this moment, he was like a helpless child, extremely fragile. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t be like this.¡± Lin Qingqian calmed herself down and pushed him away. Jiang Yanshen was easily pushed away by her and fell back onto the sofa. Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± He copsed on the sofa with his eyes closed. His pale face was now unnaturally red. His breathing was rapid and he was frowning tightly. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and ced her fair fingers on his forehead. Only then did she realize that his body temperature was terrifyingly high. He was having a fever, but he still ran out like this? An inexplicable anger surged in her heart. She didn¡¯t want to care about him and turned to leave. Her slender figure stopped at the door and she couldn¡¯t help but turn back to look at the man on the sofa. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, how many sins did Imit in my previous life to have to meet you in this life?¡± Half an hourter. After the doctor examined Jiang Yanshen, he took out a few boxes of medicine from the first aid kit and instructed her on how to use them. Lin Qingqian sent the doctor away. When she returned, she held a ss of water in her hand and woke Jiang Yanshen up to take his medicine. Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes. His ck eyes were filled with confusion as he stared at her in a daze, feeling like he was dreaming. ¡°Take the fever medicine.¡± Lin Qingqian handed the medicine and water to him. Jiang Yanshen blinked and looked at the medicine and water in her hand without any reaction. Lin Qingqian was getting impatient. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, if you don¡¯t want to be burnt into a fool, quickly take the medicine.¡± Something shed across the man¡¯s eyes. His throat bobbed a few times as he said in an unbelievably hoarse voice, ¡°What will you do if I really be a fool one day?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s legs were sore after standing for so long. She simply sat down by the bed and said calmly, ¡°If such a day reallyes, I will definitely think of a way to swindle all your assets.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pale lips curled up slightly as he said hoarsely, ¡°If you want my assets, I can give them to you now.¡± Lin Qingqian seemed to not understand the meaning of his words and brought the medicine to his mouth. ¡°Take the medicine.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes stared at her. After a moment of silence, he finally opened his mouth and swallowed the bitter pill. Lin Qingqian handed the cup to his lips again. This time, there was no need to urge him. He cooperated and drank half a cup. ¡°Go to sleep. The doctor said you need to rest well.¡± Jiang Yansheny down, his eyes not closed. He looked at her calmly and gently. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re still concerned about me.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the cup and turned to look at him. ¡°I can¡¯t help but feed stray cats and dogs on the streets, not to mention that you¡¯re my ex-husband. ¡°Although those three years of marriage disheartened me, I didn¡¯t hate you to the core and won¡¯t leave you in the lurch.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and lowered his eyes. He frowned as if he was muttering to himself, ¡°Didn¡¯t I do anything to move you?¡± When Lin Qingqian heard this, her eyes shed. ¡°If I wasn¡¯t touched at all, I wouldn¡¯t have loved you for seven years.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as he stared at her curiously. ¡°When I first came to Lan City, I didn¡¯t know anything. You were the one who taught me how to eat hotpot and steak.¡± Lin Qingqian thought of the past, and her eyes were filled with a gentle light. ¡°You were the one who picked me up from school. You were the one who taught me the principle of the survival of the fittest.¡± If Jiang Yanshen really hadn¡¯t given her any gentleness, how could she force herself to stay by his side for seven years? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat tightened, and his throat bobbed a few times. He said hoarsely, ¡°These things can¡¯t let you stay by my side anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian fell silent. Her thin eyshes fluttered a few times as she reached out to tuck him in. Her voice was very soft. ¡°Perhaps people are selfish and greedy. Instead of saying that you lost me, it¡¯s more like I couldn¡¯t keep up with your pace from the beginning. I was left far behind by you. I was too tired from chasing and didn¡¯t want to chase anymore. I started to want to love myself more.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his deep eyes in silence. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°You have to cherish your body too. Although we can¡¯t be husband and wife. at least we can choose to be friends.¡± ¡°Friends?¡± Her thin lips curled into a self- deprecating smile. ¡°We can never be friends.¡± I¡¯ve already ced you in my heart, so how can I be willing to just be a friend? The next day. Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes. His throat was still dry and painful, but he was already feeling much better. He raised his hand to touch his forehead. The temperature had already dropped. He stood up and scanned the room. There was no longer that figure in the room. He got off the bed and walked out of the room. There was no one in the huge living room or kitchen. It was so quiet that only his footsteps echoed. From the corner of her eye, he saw a cup of water on the dining table. There seemed to be a piece of paper under it. Jiang Yanshen walked over and picked up the note under the cup. The beautiful handwriting said¡ª ¡°There¡¯s porridge in the kitchen. Remember to take the medicine after eating it. The method to take it is written on the medicine box.¡± After putting down the cup, he saw a few boxes of medicine beside the cup. He turned around and went to the kitchen. The rice cooker kept the cooked porridge warm, and there were appetizers ced beside it. His thin lips curled up uncontrobly. Jiang Yanshen scooped a bowl of porridge and carried the side dishes to the kitchen table for breakfast. At this time, Lu Yuan knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his spoon and looked up at him. His voice was still hoarse. ¡°When did she leave?¡± Lu Yuan replied respectfully, ¡°Half an hour ago, Madam drove back to thepany.¡± After Jiang Yanshen took a sip of warm porridge, he said, ¡°Send the clothes over.¡± Lu Yuan didn¡¯t react for a moment. ¡°What clothes?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes gradually turned sharp. Lu Yuan instantly reacted. ¡°I¡¯ll go now.¡± Fortunately, it was not burned in London. Otherwise, he would probably have lost his life now. When he turned around, Jiang Yanshen instructed, ¡°Arrange for Song Qin to go.¡± Lu Yuan stopped in his tracks. When he turned around, his eyes were as intive as a concubine who had fallen out of favor. Jiang Yanshen pretended not to see it and said heartlessly, ¡°Qianqian likes her.¡± Lu Yuan ¡°¡­¡± I wanted to be liked by Madam too, but I didn¡¯t dare to. Lu Yuan left resentfully. Jiang Yanshen sat at the dining table and finished Lin Qingqian¡¯s porridge unhurriedly. As for the medicine¡ª His pale fingers picked up the medicine box and threw it into the trash can in the next second. Not long after Lin Qingqian returned to the office, Su Ying knocked on the door and said that Song Qin was here. She hesitated for a moment before letting Song Qin in. Song Qin was wearing a professional suit and walked in with a huge box in her hand. She said respectfully, ¡°Miss Qingqian, Director Jiang instructed me to give this to you.¡± Lin Qingqian the box that didn¡¯t carry any words or patterns and said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t need it. Take it back.¡± Song Qin immediately looked troubled. ¡°Miss Qingqian, if Director Jiang finds out that I brought it back, he¡¯ll fire me.¡± As usual, Lin Qingqian was deceived by her pitiful expression. Instead, she said, ¡°Coincidentally, mypany is short of people. You can stay and help me.¡± Song Qin: ¡°¡­Sob.¡± ¡°Miss Qingqian, why don¡¯t you open it first and decide if you want to keep it?¡± Song Qin struggled on the verge of death! Chapter 194 - 194: Uncivilized Netizens, Tears for Family Chapter 194: Uncivilized Netizens, Tears for Family Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before standing up and walking up to her. Under Song Qin¡¯s pleading gaze, she reached out and opened the box¡­ Her exquisite facial features froze, and surprise shed across her clear eyes. Seeing that she was slightly stunned, Song Qin immediately smiled and exined, ¡°Director Jiang specially instructed me to send it over.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡®What else did he say? Song Qin shook her head. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before turning around and walking to the desk to open the drawer. She took out the check, unscrewed the cap of her fountain pen, and quickly wrote a string of numbers on it. ¡°Help me bring this to Director Jiang.¡± When Song Qin saw the cheque in her hand, the number on it was exactly the price of the clothes at the auction. The smile on her face immediately froze. ¡°Miss Qingqian, please don¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± If she brought the check back, Director Jiang would probably send her to Africa. ¡°If you don¡¯t ept it, I won¡¯t ept this.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s attitude was firm. Song Qin couldn¡¯t dissuade her and could only put the box on the table. She turned to look at Lin Qingqian and hesitated. ¡°Alright then!¡± Just as she reached out to take the check, her eyes suddenly shed. ¡°Miss Qingqian, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could react, Song Qin rushed out of the office at lightning speed. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t even see clearly how she ran out in her ten -centimeter high heels. She was already gone. What kind of strange people were around Jiang Yanshen??? Her gaze wandered between the check and the clothes as she sighed helplessly. It seemed like she could only find a chance to give the check to Jiang Yanshen next time. ¡ªKnock, knock. There was a knock on the door behind her. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Han Liubai standing at the door. His eyes looked listless and fatigued, and his face was pale, revealing a sickly look. ¡°Didn¡¯t Xiao Ying say that you haven¡¯t been feeling well recently and are resting at home? Why are you here at thepany?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but ask with concern when she saw his sickly appearance. Han Liubai walked in with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just a cold. It¡¯s nothing serious¡­ I came to thepany to¡­¡¯ When he nced at the paper box on the table from the corner of his eye, he paused. Lin Qingqian followed his gaze and saw the clothes. She exined, ¡°This is Master L¡¯s design.¡± Han Liubai lowered his long eyshes and said calmly, ¡°Didn¡¯t Suisui say that the clothes were auctioned off?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°The person who bid for it is Jiang Yanshen.¡± Han Liubai nced at her. ¡°He spent a lot of money just to get a smile from a beauty. Looks like Director Jiang really cares about you.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply. The matter between her and Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be exined in a few words, let alone the fact that there was no need to tell Xiao Bai. ¡°You don¡¯t look good. Go back and rest.¡± Han Liubai pursed his lips. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian watched his back as he left the office. For a moment, she forgot the original reason why he came in to look for her. Han Liubai turned around and entered his office. He walked to his desk and opened the paper box ced on the table. The ck suit inside was exactly the same as the one in Lin Qingqian¡¯s office. Unfortunately¡ª His thin lips curled up in self-deprecation. Then, he picked up the paper box and walked out of the office. Without hesitation, he threw it into the trash can at the corner. The spring issue of ¡°Z¡± magazine released a clip of the shoot, revealing two photos of Li Wenwen, causing amotion on Weibo. Firstly, the scene was very novel. Secondly, it was Li Wenwen¡¯s appearance. She wore a in white dress and walked through the deste ashes, looking pure yet decadent. For a moment, the words ¡°Queen of Art¡± became a trending topic. ¡°Z¡± magazine and Lin Qingqian also became a trending topic. Although there were still manyizens scolding them, many passers-by stood up to speak after seeing the photo. They even said that they were looking forward to the magazine issue. On the other hand, Z magazine and Li Wenwen both came out to express that working with Shi Guang Studio was a very happy thing. As soon as the magazine was released, 300,000 copies were instantly sold out. Vin hurriedly contacted the printing factory to print 100,000 more copies, but she still couldn¡¯t keep up with the purchase. Theizens who had already bought it uploaded the magazine scan to the Inte and praised it. 6 Yuan For 500 Grams of Prawns: F*ck, f*ck!! I want to blow up Li Wenwen¡¯s looks.

Brother Ming it and was immediately speechless. ¡°You¡¯re a female celebrity??¡± Luo Tianxue nced at him and said righteously, ¡°Am I doing this for Li Wenwen? I¡¯m doing this for Qingqian, okay! This is her first time being a consultant for a fashion magazine. Of course I have to support her!¡± Brother Ming: ¡°Why don¡¯t you just ask her to give it to you!¡± ¡°How can I do that!¡± Luo Tianxue red at him. ¡°If I didn¡¯t buy it myself, it would seem insincere!! It would make me look so petty!¡± Brother Ming: ¡°Little ancestor, do you still remember that she¡¯s your love rival?¡± ¡°Love rival?¡± Luo Tianxue sneered. ¡°Jiang Yanshen is nothing. They can all die! Qingqian is the real one! I have to treat her better. When she bes my sister-inw, I¡¯ll have an exclusive stylist!¡± Brother Ming: ¡® As Luo Tianxue used her alternate ount to scold ¡°Z¡± magazine, she said impatiently, ¡°Hurry up and get someone to help me buy the magazines. I want at least 500 copies!!!¡± Brother Ming: Fortunately, no one knew that Luo Tianxue had an alternate ount. Otherwise, she would definitely be trending. Luo Tianxue did not trend, but Lu Qinshang did. The reason was that Lu Qinshang wanted to use his alternate ount to support Lin Qingqian. In the end, his hand slipped and he posted with his main ount. At the same time, his alternate ount, ¡°Lan City¡¯s Number One Handsome¡±, was exposed. It was fine if they didn¡¯t know, but the moment it was revealed, everyone got a shock! The main ount was only used to advertise all day long. It was a standard male celebrity ount in the entertainment industry, making him look mature and stable when doing publicity. On the alternate ount, he was reposting silly jokes andughing like geese¡­ Forwarding memes with deep meaning, asionally taking high-speed trains, sharing fans¡¯ praises andpliments on his photos, sighing that only he remains in the entertainment industry with looks that can rival his own. When Lin Qingqian saw the trending topic, she couldn¡¯t help but pity Lu Qinshang¡¯s manager for three seconds. Why did she ept this idiot? For a moment, the tag #Lu Qinshang¡¯s Copse# exploded. Fortunately, the fans only started to ept that their idol was a clown after being shocked. No matter how others criticized him, they would retort in an extremely ferocious manner. Who in the entertainment industry didn¡¯t have such a thing as a persona? Moreover, everyone was dignified in front of others, but everyone was stupid behind others. Who was not like this now? Why couldn¡¯t their idol do it? This was called being a true fan! The fans who had previously treated their idol like a male god seemed to have their seals undone for a moment. They began to continuously dig up their idol¡¯s alternate ount and what their idol had done previously. Lu Qinshang was stripped bare by his fans and posted on Weibo with his main ount: Stop stripping. Leave me a pair of underwear and go buy a magazine! Maple Leafs: We¡¯ll definitely buy the magazine, but you have to take off your underwear!! Lu Qinshang: After Lu Qinshang was scolded by his manager, he saw that his silly pictures were trending and called Lin Qingqian in despair. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Why are you calling me? I¡¯m not your manager!¡± Lu Qinshang was furious over the phone. ¡°Look, are you talking like a human? Didn¡¯t I do it to help you!¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment. It was rare for her tofort him out of kindness. ¡°Alright, this isn¡¯t a bad thing. At least you won¡¯t have to suppress your nature in the future. You can rx and y around.¡± Lu Qinshang: Pa! He was so angry that he hung up. Lin Qingqian hung up the phone and reopened Weibo to repost his post. Shen Qing: Please don¡¯t be uncivilized online. This poor guy has already shed two streams of tears. Leave him with a pair of underwear. It¡¯s not easy for me to style him if he¡¯s just left with his bare butt. Lu Qinshangmented below, ¡°I¡¯m really grateful to you¡­ my ass!¡± It was not only Lu Qinshang who broke down, but also¡­ Lu Yuan. As soon as ¡°Z¡± magazine was listed, Director Jiang asked him to buy 100,000 copies. What should he do with this batch of goods now?! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Qingming Festival is in two days. It¡¯ll be distributed with thepany¡¯s benefits.¡± Lu Yuan ¡® Therefore, on this Qingming Festival, Tian Yue¡¯s employees received an additional fashion magazine for their holiday benefits. Fortunately, the girls could still flip through it. Those who were in the know directly about Li Wenwen went online and sold it. The male colleagues took it and threw it into their car. Later on, it was said that the girlfriends of a few male colleagues saw a fashion magazine in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s car and a storm of bloodshed and screams rose. The instigator was unaware of it. Lu Yuan, who was in the know, could only mourn for them in his heart for a minute. The sales of this issue of Z magazine had reached a new high, and the three sides had raked in a lot of profit. Li Wenwen called to ask if Lin Qingqian could help her style her hair next month when she was going to France to attend a film exhibition. Lin Qingqian agreed after looking at her work schedule. ¡°Z¡± magazine held a celebration party and had originally invited Lin Qingqian to participate. In the end, Vin called Lin Qingqian the night before and said in a serious voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, President Lin. I¡¯m afraid our cooperation is going to end.¡± Lin Qingqian was only stunned for a second before she reacted and asked what was going on. Vin admired her talent very much and didn¡¯t hide it. ¡°Did you offend the Ling Family previously?¡± ¡°Ling Family?¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a long time but could not remember when she had offended the Ling Family. Vin: ¡°The Ling Family has always been thergest sponsor of Z Magazine. The Ling Family has announced that if we continue to cooperate with you, they¡¯ll withdraw their investment, so I¡¯m sorry..¡± Chapter 195 - 195: Purely Here to Deal With B*tches Chapter 195: Purely Here to Deal With B*tches Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions After Vin expressed his apology, she tactfully expressed that Lin Qingqian could attend the celebration party. The Ling Family would participate. At that time, Lin Qingqian could go to the Ling Family to plead for mercy. Perhaps there was still room for negotiation. It was impossible for her to go and plead for mercy, but she had to figure out who was messing with her behind her back. She couldn¡¯t suffer this loss for no reason. Lin Qingqian did not tell Suisui and the others about this for the time being because she didn¡¯t want them to worry. Xiao Bai was not in good health, and Su Ying was not used to participating in such a crowded gathering, so only Suisui apanied her. The venue of the celebration party was at a five-star hotel in Lan City. When Lin Qingqian brought Suisui in, many guests had already arrived. Other than the upper echelons of Z Magazine, there were also many celebrities with good rtionships who came to stand on the stage. There were also some socialites from Lan City. Vin saw Lin Qingqian and immediately walked over. ¡°Qingqian, you¡¯re here.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Is the Ling Family here?¡± Vin gestured at the few young and beautiful girls in the middle of the banquet hall. ¡°The person in the pink gown is the daughter of the Ling Family.¡± When Lin Qingqian looked over, Suisui was already the first to speak. ¡°Hey, that woman looks familiar!¡± ¡°So it¡¯s her.¡± Lin Qingqian recognized her at a nce. She was Ling Shuang, who had a conflict with her at the bar previously. The person wearing a white gown beside her was none other than Li Ruzhu, whom she had not seen for a long time. From the looks of it, the old and new grudges had to be settled today. Sensing that someone was looking at her, Li Ruzhu turned her head to meet Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes. The red wine ss in her hand swayed gently, and the corners of her mouth curled up in undisguised smugness. ¡°A white lotus!¡± Suisui didn¡¯t have a good expression when she saw Li Ruzhu. Vin was puzzled. ¡°You know each other?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Not only do we know each other, our fate is not shallow.¡± Vin understood what she meant and lowered her voice. ¡°Let¡¯s go and apologize to Miss Ling. I¡¯ll mediate for you. Perhaps this matter will be resolved.¡± ¡°What?¡± When Suisui heard her words, she couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice. Lin Qingqian patted her arm in time, signaling her not to speak. Suisui snorted unhappily. Vin looked at Lin Qingqian hesitantly. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°No problem.¡± Vin: ¡°Then let¡¯s go over.¡± Lin Qingqian and Suisui followed Vin to the few youngdies. Vin smiled. ¡°Miss Ling, this is the person-in-charge of Shi Guang Studio, Lin Qingqian!¡± The few youngdies who were originally smiling immediately stopped smiling and sized up Lin Qingqian as if they were watching a good show. Ling Shuang raised her chin with a high up in the air attitude and snorted disdainfully. Suisui felt so disgusted by their pretentious appearance that she wanted to vomit. Especially this woman called Ling Shuang. Why was her chin raised so high? Was she afraid of breaking her silicone on the cushion? Lin Qingman was not angry at all. Her expression was calm, ana tnere was even a smile at the corner of her mouth. Vin¡¯s gaze lingered between the two of them as she tried to smooth things over. ¡°Miss Ling, there might be some misunderstanding between you and Qingqian. Can you let me be the peacemaker today? No matter what happened in the past, can we let it pass today?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Ling Shuang smiled. Before Vin could rejoice, she said casually, ¡°As long as she kneels down in public today and kowtow to me to apologize.¡± At this moment, Vin¡¯s expression changed. Suisui was even more furious. ¡°Are you crazy? You want Qingqian to kowtow and apologize to you? Are you dead? You want someone to kowtow and worship you?!¡± Ling Shuang¡¯s face darkened as she looked at Suisui gloomily. ¡°Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this!¡± ¡°What?¡± Suisui retorted aggressively, ¡°Do you really think you¡¯re from the Imperial Family just because others call you Princess? The Imperial Family is already extinct! ! ¡± Ling Shuang was angry, but when she thought about how Lin Qingqian no longer had Jiang Yanshen as her backer, this girl was even more insignificant. A cold smile appeared on her lips. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you going to kneel or not? If you don¡¯t, not to mention working with Z magazine, I¡¯ll make sure you can¡¯t survive in this industry.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent, and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Will you let me go if I kneel?¡± Ling Shuang nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll consider it.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°If I don¡¯t kneel, are you going to ban me from the industry?¡± Ling Shuang: ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes shifted to Li Ruzhu beside her. ¡°Miss Li, your methods of coaxing people are really brilliant! First, it¡¯s Madam Jiang, then it¡¯s Miss Ling. Does it give you a sense of aplishment to y with others?¡± Li Ruzhu blinked, looking weak and harmless. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Miss Ling targeting me so that she can stand up for you?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Before Li Ruzhu could finish speaking, Ling Shuang said, ¡°So what if I¡¯m standing up for Ruzhu!¡± ¡°Nothing much!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. ¡°Suisui, help me call the police.¡± Not only Li Ruzhu, but Suisui was also stunned. ¡°Call the police?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I realized that someone had stolen my things. Call the police toe over and catch the thief.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Li Ruzhu¡¯s expression instantly changed. Ling Shuang frowned. ¡°What things?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm gazended on Li Ruzhu. ¡°The clothes she¡¯s wearing are mine. Taking them without asking is stealing. Of course I can call the police!¡± Ling Shuang looked at Li Ruzhu, and a trace of panic shed across her eyes. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Yours? You¡¯re talking nonsense! This dress was given to me by Madam Jiang!¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡®You mean, Madam Jiang stole my clothes?¡± Li Ruzhu: ¡°¡­¡¯ She couldn¡¯t answer this question. Once Madam Jiang was involved and she lost face, it would be very difficult for her to win Madam Jiang¡¯s protection in the future. Ling Shuang snorted coldly. ¡°You im that it¡¯s yours? What evidence do you have?¡± ¡°This gown was designed for me by a designer from Paris. My surname is embroidered on thebel of the dress.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Do you dare to take it off and let everyone take a look?¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face turned pale, and her beautiful crystal nails dug into her palms. Her forehead involuntarily seeped with sweat, and she pursed her lips in silence. In order to support her, Ling Shuang said domineeringly, ¡°So what!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Do you know who gave this dress to me?¡± Ling Shuang was stunned. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gloomy and terrifying face shed across her mind, and her breathing paused slightly before she quickly calmed down. ¡°Lin Qingqian, stop acting mysterious. So what if the clothes were given to you by that person?¡± She provoked. ¡°Does he care about you now?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t speak because two uniformed police officers walked in. ¡°Who called the police?¡± ¡°Me! Me!¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t wait to raise her hand so that the policeman could see her. Ling Shuang and Li Ruzhu¡¯s expressions immediately turned ugly. They didn¡¯t expect Suisui to really call the police while they were talking. Lin Qingqian gave Suisui an approving look. The cop said, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Suisui immediately pointed at Li Ruzhu. ¡°She stole my friend¡¯s clothes!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Li Ruzhu hurriedly retorted. The police officer looked at Li Ruzhu and then at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Did she steal your clothes?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Do you have any evidence?¡± the policeman asked again. Lin Qingqian said neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°There¡¯s abel with my surname on the clothes, and the invoice for the clothes is also with me.¡± The police officer looked around and saw that they were all famous people. He made a prompt decision and said, ¡°How about this? The two of you follow us back to the police station. We¡¯ll investigate clearly.¡± When Li Ruzhu heard this, she looked at Ling Shuang for help. ¡°Shuang Shuang¡­¡± Ling Shuang: ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯ll call the Corporation¡¯swyer immediately and guarantee that you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Vin apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not here to make peace today.¡± She was purely here to deal with b*tches. Vin¡¯s expression was not very good. The celebration party was proceeding well but now, even the cops were here. Still, the fault wasn¡¯t with Lin Qingqian, so she couldn¡¯t say anything. From the corner of her eye, she nced at Ling Shuang, who was on the phone, and said in a low voice, ¡°Do you need me to hire awyer for you?¡± Lin Qingqian rejected her good intentions. ¡°I can handle it. You guys continue with the celebration party.¡± Vin didn¡¯t say anything else and watched them leave. Lin Qingqian and Li Ruzhu had just alighted from the police car when they saw Jiang Yanshen and thewyer sent by Ling Shuanging down from the car beside them. In the car, Lin Qingqian sent Song Qin a WeChat message and asked her to send the receipt for the clothes over. She didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yanshen toe personally. As soon as Li Ruzhu saw Jiang Yanshen, she immediately looked expectant. ¡°Brother Yanshen¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyes didn¡¯t even give her a nce. He walked past her and directly walked in front of Lin Qingqian. His eyes gradually became gentle as he said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°Why did youe personally?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer. He turned his head and gave Song Qin a look. Song Qin hurriedly handed the prepared receipt, purchase information, and the designer¡¯s video to the police. ¡°Director Jiang specially requested the designer to customize this dress for Miss Lin Qingqian. This is all the evidence.¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face instantly turned pale. She didn¡¯t expect him to organize the evidence so quickly. He really had no feelings for her at all. Why did he have to be so ruthless? The police officer took the information and nced at it briefly before nodding. ¡°I¡¯ll ept this information for the time being, but you still have to follow us in. We have to verify this information.¡± He looked at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯m fine with it.¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s face was pale and she didn¡¯t speak. Thewyer spoke in her ce. Jiang Yanshen looked down at Lin Qingqian and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® I wasn¡¯t afraid to begin with! The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them when she met his warm and concerned gaze. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were invited to the lounge, and Li Ruzhu was taken to the interrogation room to be questioned by the police. Although Li Ruzhu had awyer to defend her, she couldn¡¯t withstand the multitude of irond evidence. Thewyer found an excuse to go out and call Miss Ling. Li Ruzhu struggled for a long time before finally asking the police for her cell phone to make a call¡­ Chapter 196 - 196: Jiang Yanshen ‘s Father Was Cuckolded Chapter 196: Jiang Yanshen ¡®s Father Was Cuckolded Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the lounge, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat separately. Ever since they entered, the two of them hadn¡¯t spoken. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Lin Qingqian felt that she had waited for a long time. Just as she was about to get up to ask, the lounge door was pushed open. The police officer who brought them back said, ¡°Mr. Jiang, Miss Lin, pleasee out for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen looked at each other and walked out of the lounge tacitly. In the hall of the police station, they saw a gorgeous figure from afar. She looked a little familiar. After taking two more steps, they saw the person clearly¡ªMadam Jiang. Li Ruzhu stood in front of her. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with mist. She was weak and helpless, which could very well arouse the protective instincts of male animals. From the moment Jiang Yanshen saw Madam Jiang, his expression darkened subtly. When Madam Jiang saw Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen, her exquisitely made-up face was covered in frost. She said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s just a piece of clothing. Do you have to make a fuss and bring it to the police station? Aren¡¯t you embarrassed?¡± Lin Qingqian was indifferent. ¡°I¡¯m not the thief. Naturally, I¡¯m not the one who¡¯s embarrassed.¡± ¡°You!¡± Madam Jiang was stunned for a moment before saying, ¡°I gave the clothes to Ruzhu.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°Madam Jiang, you mean that you stole the clothes?¡± ¡°What stealing!¡± Madam Jiang couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice. ¡°The clothes were originally bought with our Jiang family¡¯s money. Don¡¯t forget that you denounced everything when you left. The clothes belong to our Jiang family. I can give them to whoever I want. Who are you to interfere?¡± Her words immediately attracted the attention of the people passing by, and they couldn¡¯t help but take a few more nces at Lin Qingqian. Was this the woman who had abandoned Jiang Yanshen at the wedding? Lin Qingqian was unmoved even after being stared at. She strutted in front of Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu and looked at Jiang Yanshen for the first time. ¡°Madam Jiang said that the clothes are not mine. Is that so?¡± ¡°Since the clothes were given to you, theyre naturally yours,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. His dark eyes were filled with gentleness as he stared at her. The surrounding people immediately revealed surprised expressions. They heard that Lin Qingqian had rejected the marriage. How was Jiang Yanshen still protecting her now? Were the two of them really divorced? Lin Qingqian looked at Madam Jiang and smiled. ¡°Madam Jiang, did you hear it clearly?¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, do you want to send me to the detention center?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her with an indifferent expression. ¡°If you don¡¯t get involved in this matter, nothing will happen.¡± ¡°You¡ªI¡® Madam Jiang was so angry that her eyes almost popped out. She looked at Lin Qingqian and said angrily, ¡°What exactly will make you give up?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and said, ¡°I¡¯ll let this go if she kneels down and apologizes to me!¡± Madam Jiang was stunned, and Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes widened. She couldn¡¯t care less about her image in front of Jiang Yanshen and scolded angrily, ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you crazy¡±¡® ¡°Kneel down and apologize, or go to jail for three months.¡± Lin Qingqian revealed a harmless smile. ¡°Choose one.¡± Li Ruzhu had encouraged Ling Shuang to humiliate her. Now, she was only giving her a taste of her own medicine. Thinking about it now, they must have been the ones who defamed her on Weibo previously! Li Ruzhu didn¡¯t want to kneel and apologize, but she didn¡¯t want to be detained either. If she went to jail, none of the rich youngdies would want to y with her anymore. She looked at Madam Jiang for help. Madam Jiang said with a cold expression, ¡°Lin, don¡¯t go too far!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°How is that too far? I thought Miss Li liked to kneel!¡± A trace of ruthlessness shed across Li Ruzhu¡¯s eyes. She bit her lip and did not say anything. Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Yanshen again. If not for his support, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t be so arrogant. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t seem to notice her gaze. He looked down at Lin Qingqian¡¯s exquisite face, his eyes filled with gentleness. The police officer looked at them for a long time and finally understood. He coughed lightly and said, ¡°Um, if this matter is not settled privately, thisdy will be detained for three months on the charge of theft and will receive an administrative punishment of 30,000 yuan.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to jail!¡± Li Ruzhu grabbed Madam Jiang¡¯s arm as if she was holding onto a straw to clutch at. ¡°Auntie, I don¡¯t want to go to jail. Help me quickly!¡± With Jiang Yanshen backing Lin Qingqian up, although Madam Jiang wanted to help, she was helpless and looked troubled. Seeing that she was silent, Li Ruzhu suddenly let go of the strength in her fingertips. She looked at Lin Qingqian with a pale face and hatred. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you b*tch¡­¡¯ As she spoke, she could no longer control her anger and raised her hand to throw it at Lin Qingqian. Before her fingertips could touch Lin Qingqian, they were grabbed halfway. Without hesitation, Lin Qingqian raised her hand and pped her ruthlessly. The police wanted to stop her, but it was toote. ¡°Hey, you can¡¯t fight here.¡± Lin Qingqian used all her strength and smacked her so hard that her palm went numb. She blew on it and said calmly, ¡°Officer, I was defending myself.¡± The police officer was speechless. Do you think I¡¯m blind? She¡¯s already firmly restrained by you and hasn¡¯t even touched your hair. What is there to defend against! However, because the other party hadmitted a crime and still took the initiative to attack, he couldn¡¯t say anything. Madam Jiang¡¯s expression was ugly. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!!¡± Lin Qingqian ignored herpletely. Her gazended on the red half of Li Ruzhu¡¯s face. ¡°This p is my repayment to you. I¡¯ll discount you the interest.¡± Li Ruzhu held her burning cheek, her mind still in a daze. She only heard Jiang Yanshen say, ¡°Does it hurt?¡± She turned her head expectantly and saw that his expression was gentle as he looked at Lin Qingqian¡¯s red palm. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly, and she said in a reflective tone, ¡°It¡¯s my first time, so I don¡¯t have any experience.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood behind her and raised his long arm. His warm palm covered her left hand. Then, he opened his palm and pped Li Ruzhu¡¯s face. There was no fluctuation in his exquisite facial features. He lowered his head and pressed it against Lin Qingqian¡¯s ear, saying in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Qianqian, if you do it like this, it won¡¯t hurt when you hit people.¡± Lin Qingqian¡± The police officer was speechless. Li Ruzhu, whose entire face was red from the ps, waspletely stunned as tears flowed down her face. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even look at her and said with a serious expression, ¡°Also, the interest can¡¯t be discounted. Everything has to be collected.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± The veins on Madam Jiang¡¯s face twitched. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, Lin Qingqian¡­ Good, you¡¯re really great.¡± Those two ps not onlynded on Li Ruzhu¡¯s face, but also her face. The police brought the crying Li Ruzhu to the detention room. Madam Jiang left with a resentful expression. When Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen walked out of the police station, they were greeted by Suisui and Han Liubai. Before Suisui arrived, she said, ¡®Qianqian, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. I¡¯ll send you back,¡± Han Liubai said warmly. Before Lin Qingqian could speak, Jiang Yanshen had already grabbed her wrist and tightened his grip. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The two men¡¯s gazes met. One was gentle, and the other was dark. The atmosphere instantly became tense and solemn. Suisui rolled her eyes and immediately said, ¡°Um, Xiao Bai, send me back! My neighborhood has had a lot of shers recently. It¡¯s disgusting.¡± Han Liubai didn¡¯t say anything, his pitch-ck eyes focused on Lin Qingqian motionlessly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin eyshes fluttered. ¡°Xiaobai, send Suisui back.¡± The light in his eyes dimmed, but he still agreed. Under the dim streetlights, Jiang Yanshen looked down at her, the gentleness in his eyes almost overflowing. Lin Qingqian nced sideways. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to let go?¡± His warm fingertips reluctantly loosened, and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll take you home.¡± The next day, Lin Qingqian received Vin¡¯s call early in the morning. In the end, ¡°Z¡± magazine decided to terminate the Ling Corporation¡¯s investment and continue to cooperate with Lin Qingqian. Vin¡¯s voice was filled with disappointment. ¡°The Ling Family has such a daughter. If we continue to cooperate with them, it will affect the development of Z magazine.¡± ¡°What¡¯s your n now that you don¡¯t have the Ling Family¡¯s funds?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Vin: ¡°We¡¯ll find other investors. There will always be a turnaround.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯ll help to keep an eye out too. Everything will be fine.¡± After chatting with Vin, Lin Qingqian tidied up and went to thepany, asking Su Ying to ask the finance department about the funds avable in thepany¡¯s ounts. After Su Ying got the report, she made a cup of coffee and brought them to her. When Lin Qingqian saw the report, she couldn¡¯t help but frown. This sum of money was fine for thepany, but it was a drop in the bucket for Z magazine. Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. Seeing her worried face, he asked with concern, ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Qingqian told him what happened in the morning. Han Liubaiforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Z magazine has a lot of experience. Thest issue sold well and they should be able tost for a while. As long as they can find a new investor, there won¡¯t be any problems.¡± Lin Qingqian sighed softly. ¡°I hope so.¡± ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡± Suisui ran into the office in a hurry. When she saw Han Liubai, she immediately swallowed her words. Lin Qingqian looked up at her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Suisui nced at Han Liubai and didn¡¯t say anything. Han Liubai knew that she was doing this because he was present. He stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go out to work first.¡± When he walked out of the office, Suisui said impatiently, ¡°Qianqian, didn¡¯t you see the news today?¡± ¡®What news?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. She had been thinking about ¡°Z¡± magazine all morning, so how could she have the time to read the news online? Suisui passed her phone over and said, ¡°Look for yourself.. ¡® A popr headline reads: ¡°Shocking! Prominent Wealthy Widow¡¯s Late-Night Encounter with Younger Man Raises Suspicions of Long-Term Infidelity.¡± There were a few photos below. Lin Qingqian recognized at a nce that the woman in the photo was Madam Jiang. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn at the police stationst night. She hugged a young man intimately and even kissed him when they walked into the hotel. The side of her face was clearly photographed!!! At the side, Suisui said, ¡°I was wondering why Jiang Yanshen was so abnormal! It turns out that a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow! His mother¡¯s still fooling around at such an old age. How shameless!¡± Lin Qingqian scrolled down and saw manyizens¡¯ments. IP168.09.02: Isn¡¯t this Jiang Yanshen¡¯s mother? F*ck, I feel like his father¡¯s coffin can¡¯t be covered anymore! Passerby 233333: Jiang Yanshen¡¯s father was cuckolded. Jiang Yanshen was abandoned at his wedding. Did all the men of the Jiang Family descend to the mortal world to transcend the love tribtion? Passerby 123456: The wealthy families are so messy. Both the men and women are not good people! Passerby 934454: So what if Jiang Yanshen is powerful? After dealing with his mother, he still has to call me Dad obediently! [Smug] Thements below became more and more unsightly. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t look at thements anymore and returned the phone to Suisui. She picked up her phone and swiped up to make a call. Her fingertips lingered on the word ¡°Director Jiang¡± for a long time.. Chapter 197 - 197: Sister… Chapter 197: Sister¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Seeing her hesitation, Suisui nced at her cell phone. ¡°Qianqian, do you want to call Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and her fingers finallynded. She said indifferently, ¡°No, go back to work.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Suisui put away her cell phone and went out. Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at her cell phone again. After hesitating for a while, she finally found Song Qin¡¯s WeChat. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard today: Song Qin, is Jiang Yanshen alright? After sending the message, she didn¡¯t receive a reply for a long time. She put down her phone and started working, but she subconsciously nced at her cell phone from time to time. She was distracted all morning and didn¡¯t finish reading the information she Song Qin: ¡°Miss Qingqian, I¡¯m sorry! There were too many things to do in thepany today. Director Jiang locked himself in the office for the entire day, and Officer Gu and Young Master Lu came over.¡± With Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang around, he should be fine, right? Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: How did Madam Jiang¡¯s matter get exposed? With Jiang Yanshen¡¯s status in Lan City, no one would dare to expose such news even if she was photographed. Song Qin: ¡°This matter was not exposed by the media. It¡¯s not convenient for me to say more.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. It wasn¡¯t exposed by the media? Could it be¡ª Was Madam Jiang crazy? What good would this do her? When she didn¡¯t reply, Song Qin sent another voice message¡ª [Miss Qingqian, this matter is a blow to Tianyue Group¡¯s stocks and Director Jiang. Pleasee and see Director Jiang when you have time.] Lin Qingqian still didn¡¯t reply after hearing this. She opened the stocks table to check¡­ Tianyue¡¯s shares had been falling since the opening of the market. This was the first time the shares had fallen so much since Jiang Yanshen took over. Regarding the matter on the Inte, although Tianyue¡¯s public rtions department had already urgently deleted the post, they could only suppress it from bing a trending topic, and they couldn¡¯t stop the rumorspletely. Jiang Yanshen was such a prideful person. He must be feeling very ufortable now. Lin Qingqian opened Jiang Yanshen¡¯s WeChat and tapped on the touchscreen keyboard with her fair fingers. She typed a line and deleted it. She typed a new sentence and deleted it when she was about to send it. After repeating this a few times, in the end, she only sent a sentence. [Are you alright?] After sending the message, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response. The Jiang Family¡¯s scandal had caused an uproar for the entire day. Dusk had fallen outside the window, and the lights had just turned on. The neon lights at night had changed the city into a golden jade dress. Lin Qingqian sat alone in the office and saw that it was already eight o¡¯clock, but Jiang Yanshen still hadn¡¯t replied to her message. She turned off theputer and went home. She didn¡¯t have much of an appetite at night. After mixing a sd and eating half of it, she couldn¡¯t eat anymore. She washed up and returned to her room to lie down. When she opened Weibo, she saw that many posts were leading the way, but they were deleted after a while. It should be Song Qin, Lu Yuan, and the others working overtime to deal with it. Although this matter had an impact on Tianyue and Jiang Yanshen, it shouldn¡¯t be too big. The main reason was that they were afraid that Grandma would see it. How angry would Grandma be if she saw this? She was not in good health to begin with. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but sigh. She put down her phone and turned over to lie on the bed. Her mind was in a mess, and she unknowingly felt sleepy. After sleeping for an unknown period of time, her cell phone suddenly rang. She narrowed her eyes and saw the call reminder ¡°Lu Yuan¡±. Her mind immediately cleared up. ¡°Hey¡­¡± She sat up and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°Lu Yuan, what happened?¡± If not for the fact that something had happened, Lu Yuan wouldn¡¯t have called her sote- ¡°Miss Lin, has Director Jiang contacted you?¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s voice sounded anxious and worried over the phone. ¡°He didn¡¯t contact me. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Lu Yuan¡¯s voice was tense. ¡°Director Jiang is missing and I can¡¯t get through to him on the phone. I¡¯ve searched everywhere I can, but I can¡¯t find him.¡± ¡°What about Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici?¡± Lin Qingqian sensed his worry, but she didn¡¯t understand what he was worried about. Jiang Yanshen was an adult man. Even if he was in a bad mood, there was no need to be so worried if he became uncontactable. ¡®Young Master Lu and Officer Gu left after apanying Director Jiang for a while today. They all said that they didn¡¯t see Director Jiang,¡± Lu Yuan replied. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. ¡°What about Doctor Shen?¡± Lu Yuan was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone. His voice overflowed with difficulty. ¡°Director Jiang disappeared from Doctor Shen¡¯s ce.¡± Lin Qingqian immediately understood where his worry came from. Jiang Yanshen went to look for Shen Zhiwei. Clearly, he couldn¡¯t control his emotions. If he left the mental clinic and injured someone outside, he would probably go on the trending searches immediately. The entire city would probably find out about his bipr disorder. ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. Get Gu Xici to go to the area near the clinic immediately. He¡¯s a policeman, so finding people should be his forte. I¡¯ll be there in 20 minutes.¡± After hanging up, Lin Qingqian got off the bed and hurriedly changed her clothes. She picked up her phone and car keys and went out. 20 minutester. Lin Qingqian met Gu Xici and Shen Zhiwei at the mental clinic. Shen Zhiwei¡¯s face was slightly pale. She bit her lip and said, ¡®He lost control of his emotions. I gave him some medicine and wanted him to rest. Then, I went to the washroom. I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± ¡°Now is not the time to me yourself. Let¡¯s find Jiang Yanshen first.¡± Lin Qingqianforted her and shifted her gaze to Gu Xici. ¡°What did you find?¡± Gu Xici frowned and said, ¡°The nearby businesses are all closed, so we can¡¯t get the footage from the surveince cameras for the time being. We can only see from the clinic¡¯s surveince cameras that he has left. As for the road surveince cameras, I¡¯ve already asked my friends to investigate.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s split up and search again. Contact me if there¡¯s anything.¡± The few of them agreed. Gu Xici and Lu Yuan quickly walked out of the clinic. When Lin Qingqian turned to leave, Shen Zhiwei suddenly called out to her. She turned around and looked at Shen Zhiwei in confusion. Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyes flickered as she pursed her lips and said, ¡°Miss Lin, if you find Director Jiang, please don¡¯t say anything. Call me immediately, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked, thinking that she might be afraid that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder would hurt her. She nodded without thinking too much. ¡°Alright.¡± The four of them split up and expanded their search in all four directions of the clinic. They didn¡¯t dare to ignore even the most obscure street and alley. Time passed bit by bit. The fog was heavy, and the car windows were seemingly covered with ayer of gauze. Lin Qingqian turned on the rain wipers. The mechanical sound echoed on the empty street. Lin Qingqian suddenly stepped on the brakes as a ce appeared in her mind. Could he have gone there? It was three in the morning, and there was even dew forming from the fog. Lin Qingqian drove to Begonia Courtyard. When the guard saw her license te number, he let her in without any hesitation. She drove the car to the entrance of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s vi based on her memory. When she got out of the car, she saw that the window was dark. Could it be that she had guessed wrongly and he did not return?! Lin Qingqian stood for a while and turned around, wanting to return to the car to look elsewhere. Suddenly, a tall figure darted out of the flowerbed at the side. A pair of clear and bright eyes looked at her, and his thin lips curled up slightly. His voice was soft¡ª ¡°Sister¡­¡± Chapter 198 - 198: Jiang Xiao Jiu Chapter 198: Jiang Xiao Jiu Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s happiness on seeing him instantly shattered when she heard this. Disbelief surged in her clear eyes, and her curly eyshes trembled slightly. ¡°You, what did you call me?¡± ¡°Sister.¡± He blinked his big eyes. His dark eyes under his thick eyshes were clear and free of impurities. ¡°Sister, are you here for me?¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath, not daring to believe that the tall and handsome man in front of her was really¡ªJiang Yanshen. But why did he have Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face? His temperament was clean and pure, and his handsome features were filled with grievance. ¡°Sister, I want to go home, but I can¡¯t go in. Can you bring me His fair fingers grabbed her arm, and his voice was tender. Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat seemed to be blocked by something. After a long time, she said bitterly, ¡°You¡¯re Jiang Yanshen?¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen?¡± He tilted his head slightly, lookingpletely like a child in clothes. ¡°My name is Jiang Yanshen, but I prefer them to call me Xiao Jiu.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s entire body was cold, and her limbs seemed to be frozen. She looked at him in a daze¡­ He blinked and looked at her with a naturally cute smile. Half an hourter. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa, her hands clenched into fists on herp. Gu Xici leaned against the ss window with a solemn expression and said nothing. Lu Yuan brought them each a bottle of water, but no one drank it. He silently retreated to the door. Half an hour ago, Lin Qingqian contacted Shen Zhiwei. Gu Xici and Lu Yuan also received the news and rushed over. Gu Xici was also surprised to see apletely different Jiang Yanshen. Clearly, he didn¡¯t know what had happened. Shen Zhiwei brought Jiang Yanshen upstairs and had yet toe out. The huge vi was as silent as death. One could hear a pin drop. Shen Zhiwei pattered downstairs in her high heels, her crisp footsteps echoing in the quiet night. Lin Qingqian and Gu Xici looked at her in unison. Shen Zhiwei immediatelv felt pressured. Her gaze shifted from Gu Xici to Lin Qingqian and she said calmly, ¡°He¡¯s already asleep. He¡¯ll wake up in about an hour.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her dry lips and said bitterly, ¡°Doctor Shen, shouldn¡¯t you exin? ¡°This is the patient¡¯s privacy. 1¡ª¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s voice paused under the scrutiny of the two of them, and she swallowed the rest of her words. She sighed helplessly. ¡°Dissociative identity disorder.¡± Gu Xici frowned very tightly. Lin Qingqian paused slightly and muttered, ¡°Split¡­ Personality?¡± This kind of word was only heard in television dramas. She didn¡¯t expect to see it in reality and to Jiang Yanshen as well. ¡°So¡­ the person I saw just now was his second personality?¡± Lin Qingqian asked softly. Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡®Why?¡± She asked. Shen Zhiwei replied professionally, ¡°Everyone has a main personality, but under some stimtion, they will give birth to second, third, or even more personalities.¡± In other words, the reason why Jiang Yanshen gave birth to a second personality was because he had once been stimted. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes trembled slightly. ¡°Then he¡­¡± Shen Zhiwei pursed her lips and said in a gentle voice, ¡°You¡¯ve also realized that Director Jiang¡¯s split personality is very special. His intelligence and behavior is of his nine years old self. We usually call him Jiang Xiao Jiu.¡± Nine years old? Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled fiercely.. Chapter 199 - 199: Qjanqian, Please Take Pity On Me.No One will Love Me Other Than You Chapter 199: Qjanqian, Please Take Pity On Me.No One will Love Me Other Than You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Gu Xici, who had been silent all this while, said hoarsely, ¡°Can it be cured?¡± Shen Zhiwei met his dark eyes and couldn¡¯t help but lose control of her heart. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°I only managed to help him suppress it all these years. I can¡¯tpletely eliminate it.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s eyes darkened. Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°All these years?¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°Director Jiang is not a cooperative patient. I¡¯m just inferring from my own experience that he should have developed this split personality very early on. It¡¯s just that he¡¯s never seen a psychiatrist before.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but she didn¡¯t know what to say. Gu Xici¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly. ¡°Who else knows about this?¡± Shen Zhi blinked. ¡°Previously, only Assistant Lu and I knew. Now, you guys are included.¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Doctor Shen. No one else can know about this.¡± Shen Zhiwei looked at him with sparkling eyes, but she tried her best to suppress them. She said with a professional attitude, ¡°You¡¯re wee. This is my job.¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first. If there¡¯s anything, you can contact me anytime.¡± Lin Qingqian thanked her dryly and asked Lu Yuan to send Shen Zhiwei back. Shen Zhiwei bowed slightly. When she turned around, she nced at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face from the corner of her eye, and a trace of disappointment shed across her eyes. Gu Xici¡¯s deep eyes followed her figure which was wrapped in business attire. His throat bobbed. Even if there were any distracting thoughts in his mind, he could only suppress them at this moment. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa and lowered her head in silence. Gu Xici¡¯s fingersnded in his pocket and he touched the cigarette box. He hesitated and asked, ¡°Can I smoke a cigarette?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him. The tip of her tongue touched the roof of her mouth and she said bitterly, ¡°Can you give me one?¡± A trace of surprise shed across Gu Xici¡¯s eyes, and he nodded. Lin Qingqian walked to his side. Gu Xici handed her a cigarette and helped her light it. She took a hard puff. The strong taste choked her and she couldn¡¯t help but cough. After Gu Xici lit the cigarette, he put it in his mouth and patted her back. ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself if you don¡¯t smoke.¡± Lin Qingqian stopped coughing and shook her head. ¡°I haven¡¯t smoked in a long time. I didn¡¯t expect the taste to be so strong now.¡± Gu Xici retracted his hand. ¡°I¡¯m a criminal investigator. I¡¯ve been with my subordinates for a long time and smoke low-quality cigarettes.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender figure leaned against the ss window. The cigarette butt between her fingers emitted smoke, and the scarlet fire danced in a lonely way. Seeing that she really knew how to smoke, Gu Xici was relieved. ¡°Ah Yan probably doesn¡¯t know that you smoke, right?¡± Lin Qingqian spat out a mouthful of white mist, blurring her in facial features. Her voice was hoarse. ¡°He doesn¡¯t know, just like how I didn¡¯t know that he had bipr disorder and split personality.¡± Her red lips curled up in self-deprecation. Gu Xici knew that she was in a bad mood andforted her in a low voice. ¡°Ah Yan is a person who likes to hide everything in his heart. He didn¡¯t hide it from you on purpose. Moreover¡ª¡± These two conditions were nothing honorable, and Jiang Yanshen was such a strong-willed person. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°I know. I¡¯m not angry because of this. I¡¯m just a little¡­ sad.¡± She thought that she loved Jiang Yanshen very much and knew him very well, but in the end, she realized that she didn¡¯t understand him at all. It was ironic and sad. Gu Xici wanted tofort her, but he couldn¡¯t find the words. He could only take a deep puff of the cigarette and draw it through his lungs before it slowly emerged from his nose. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you know why I¡¯ve always disagreed when Lu Qinshang, Jiang Yunshen, and the others said that you were not worthy of Ah Yan?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were calm as she slowly nced at him. ¡°I once had a girlfriend. She was a police officer like me. She was hit during an operation to capture criminals. There were many passersby around, but no one dared to step forward.¡± Gu Xici looked at her seriously. ¡°You¡¯re the only one who dared to stop the bleeding for her. You¡¯re the only one who called the police and an ambnce to send her to the hospital.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. There seemed to be such a thing in her memory, but she had long forgotten it. ¡°Lin Qingqian, I¡¯ve always wanted to thank you.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Although she wasn¡¯t saved in the end, you once tried to save her. I¡¯ve always been grateful for this.¡± Therefore, no matter how Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen thought that Lin Qingqian was not worthy of Jiang Yanshen, he had never thought of it like this. Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat was dry. ¡°I¡­ I just did what I thought I should do.¡± The cigarette butt on his fingertip was about to burn his skin. He turned around and walked to the coffee table. He bent down to extinguish the cigarette butt in the ashtray and turned to look at the slender figure in front of the window. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re a very good girl. It¡¯s Ah Yan¡¯s fault for not cherishing you previously.¡± Gu Xici said in a low voice, ¡°But who knows if he doesn¡¯t want to or can¡¯t?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was hoarse. She felt her fingertips burning and subconsciously let go. The cigarette butt fell to the ground. A scarlet light shed and finally extinguished in the ashes on the ground. Gu Xici said, ¡°Go up and see him. He needs you the most at this time.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know if Jiang Yanshen was awake, so she didn¡¯t knock and directly pushed open the door. There was only onemp glowing in the bedroom. The dim light barely filtered out of the room. She subconsciously looked at the bed in the bedroom. It was empty, and her heart instantly skipped a beat. When she saw the figure in front of the French window from the corner of her eye, her heart slowly calmed down. His tall body stood upright in front of the French window. The light made his figure look bleak and lonely. Lin Qingqian walked closer and pursed her lips. She said bitterly, ¡°Jiang, Yanshen¡­ Jiang Yanshen stood still, as if he didn¡¯t hear anything. Lin Qingqian walked to his side and turned to look at him. ¡°Jiang¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, quickly pressing her against the cold and hard ss. Lowering his head, the tip of his nose was almost touching hers. Their breaths mingled, and Lin Qingqian smelled the faint smell of medicine and a trace of blood on his body. His dark eyes stared at her small face without blinking. His throat moved slightly. After a moment of silence, his thin lips curled up. ¡®You know everything.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly. She knew what he was referring to and pursed her lips lightly without saying anything. ¡°Do you pity me?¡± His low and hoarse voice carried a hint of mockery. ¡°Do you need my pity?¡± Lin Qingqian spoke again, her voice much calmer. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened as he tightened his grip on her wrist, as if he wanted to crush her bones. She only frowned and said nothing. Dozens of secondster, Jiang Yanshen let go of her. ¡°You can leave.¡± Lin Qingqian was still leaning against the ss, feeling that her legs were a little weak and she couldn¡¯t stand steadily. She looked at him with her clear eyes. ¡°I know there are some things I shouldn¡¯t ask, but I don¡¯t think I can ignore them.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and nced at her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was as light as willow catkins. ¡°So, can you tell me¡­ who Jiang Xiao Jiu is?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. He looked out of the window at the night sky that seemed to never have daylight and didn¡¯t speak for a long time. Just as Lin Qingqian thought that he wouldn¡¯t answer and was about to leave, a deep and hoarse voice sounded in her ear. ¡°My other personality.¡± She clearly already knew, but when she heard the answer from his mouth, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart still involuntarily tightened. She looked at him with unconscious pity. ¡°Since when?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t turn around. He turned his head to look at her, his dark eyes deep and sharp. ¡°Do you really want to know?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything as his deep and hoarse voice continued to ring in her ears. ¡°Do you know the consequences of continuing to ask?¡± Her breathing slowed slightly. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t stay far away from you anymore. I won¡¯t leave you alone again. I¡¯ll lock you firmly by my side. Unless I die, I won¡¯t let you take a step away from me.¡± He turned sideways and lowered his head to stare at her with his ck eyes. Like a natural gambler who had staked everything on one bet, he said, ¡°Do you still want to know?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. There was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as if she was struggling with something. Jiang Yanshen spoke again. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I have dissociative identity disorder and bipr disorder?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid.¡± She pursed her lips, her thin eyshes trembling for a few seconds. After calming down, she looked at him with a firm gaze. ¡°But I still want to know.¡± ¡°I want to know what kind of person I¡¯ve loved for seven years. I want to know what you¡¯ve been through. I want to know that you¡¯ve alienated me these past few years not because you hate me, but because of your illness, right?¡± With every question she asked, Jiang Yan¡¯s eyes darkened. His breathing became heavier, and his eyes burned. Until she asked, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, has no one loved you other than me all these years¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen could no longer restrain himself and kissed her lips. Berserk, rough, hysterical kisses. Jiang Yanshen had never kissed her so passionately before. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind went nk. When she came back to her senses, there was a sharp pain on her lips. Jiang Yanshen seemed to want to bite off her flesh and Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Her voice was very soft, but Jiang Yanshen still heard it. His movements gradually stopped, and his gently closed eyes opened, his eyes burning¡­ ¡°No one.¡± His thin lips pursed, shattering the pride he had held for many years. He begged almost humbly, ¡°Other than you, no one else in this world has ever loved me. Qianqian, please take pity on me and stay with me, okay?¡± With thest syble, he rubbed the tip of his nose carefully against hers like a puppy trying to please its master. Lin Qingqian¡¯s originally unstable will was finally shattered by his humbleness and begging at this moment. His coldness had once caused her to fall into the abyss, but his humbleness at this moment pulled her out of the abyss. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slender and strong arms wrapped around her tightly. He lowered his head and pecked her lips again and again. His voice was hoarse. ¡°Qianqian, please take pity on me. Other than you, no one will love me.¡± Tears suddenly welled up in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. It was unknown if it was for him or for her, but her heart was filled with both sadness and joy. She was happy that this high and mighty Jiang Yanshen finally lowered his proud head and begged for a trace of love. What she was sad about was that she realized clearly¡­ Chapter 200 - 200: Director Jiang Is Playing with Fire Chapter 200: Director Jiang Is ying with Fire Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions No matter how determined she was to stop loving Jiang Yanshen, as long as this man was willing to reveal his hidden scars, her heart would soften. Tears rolled down her eyes drop by drop, shining with a broken light on her porcin-white skin. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face. His low and hoarse voice repeated as he muttered patiently, ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡± Her hands that hung by her sides slowly hugged his strong waist as she cried. Jiang Yanshen hugged her tightly and kissed the side of her face lovingly. It was like the demonic barrier of a fallen hell. Lin Qingqian cried for half an hour until her eyes hurt and her voice was hoarse. When she came back to her senses, she was already by the bed and sitting in his arms. Jiang Yanshen lifted her scattered hair with his fingertips and said hoarsely, ¡®Qianqian, can you be with me?¡± Lin Qingqian sniffed her red nose and looked at him with her watery eyes. She asked in a hoarse voice, ¡°When¡­ did you realize that you had¡­ split personalities?¡± She originally wanted to ask him what stimtion he had suffered, but she swallowed her words, afraid that she would touch the wound that he was unwilling to let others touch. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened slightly. He knew that she was deliberately avoiding answering, so he didn¡¯t press on. ¡°I can¡¯t remember clearly. It¡¯s when I was about nine or ten years old.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly as she thought to herself, ¡°So young?¡± ¡°Are you scared?¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. ¡°It was fine in the beginning, but towards the end, I became more and more afraid of being discovered. After all, he¡¯s a fool.¡± Lin Qingqian thought about how he had probably lived carefully every day all these years and was on tenterhooks. Her heart couldn¡¯t help but ache again. ¡°He¡­ Why is his intelligence stuck at nine years old?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes for a second to hide the sh of light. He said calmly, ¡°I don¡¯t know. Shen Zhiwei said that I might subconsciously want to keep a portion of my innocence.¡± What could be more innocent than a child? ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°You¡¯re not a bad person.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her. ¡°You don¡¯t think I¡¯m a bad person?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°You just have a bad temper. Your personality is gloomy, and you have a desire to control others. You¡¯re irritable and don¡¯t understand rtionships. Other than that, you don¡¯t have any other shorings.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® How could this be called having no other shorings? Jiang Yanshen held her hand and stared at her. He ced her hand by his mouth and pecked it gently as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll change. Can youe back?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled under his burning gaze, as if there was a bolt of static electricity running through her. She quickly pulled her fingers out and looked elsewhere. Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen was not in a hurry and waited patiently for her to speak. Her white teeth bit her pink lips. After taking a few deep breaths, she said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m no longer the Lin Qingqian of the past.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and did not reply, listening to her finish. ¡°My world no longer revolves around you.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and met his gaze, her clear eyes shining with determination. ¡°I have a passionate career and friends now. I can¡¯t wait at home everyday for you toe back and take a look at me like before. Do you understand?¡± To put it bluntly, Jiang Yanshen was no longer her top priority in life. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes gradually darkened. Although he had long known that she was different from before, he was still a little disappointed when he heard this. ¡°In the past, you were very obedient. I was very satisfied, but the current you is also very good.¡± He abandoned the disappointment in his heart and looked at her with his eyes that were as hot as magma. ¡°I like it very much.¡± As long as she could return, it didn¡¯t matter even if they couldn¡¯t return to the conditions of the past. Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. She didn¡¯t expect him to agree. She bit her lip. ¡°Then¡­ can you stop hiding anything from me?¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Jiang Yanshen agreed without hesitation. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. ¡°I won¡¯t hide anything from you anymore.¡± Waves of warmth surged in Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart, and her thin eyshes slowly drooped. This was the first time they had truly kissed. Sweet, happy, and so soft that it was as if she was stepping on cotton. As Jiang Yanshen kissed her, his fingertips climbed up her cor. Lin Qingqian suddenly came back to her senses in her dizziness and held his hand tightly. After the kiss stopped, Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes and saw the nervousness and uneasiness on her red face. He immediately understood what she meant and kissed her face gently. ¡°I¡¯ll take a shower. Go and pour me a ss of water.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded with a red face. Jiang Yanshen ced her on the bed and walked to the bathroom. As soon as Jiang Yanshen¡¯s clear breath left, Lin Qingqian took a few deep breaths and her originally dizzy mind instantly cleared up. She felt vexed. Why was she so bewitched by him again! It was toote for regrets. Lin Qingqian went downstairs to boil water. When the heat on her face subsided, she carried the cup upstairs. Jiang Yanshen had already taken a shower and was sitting by the bed. As soon as he approached, she could feel the coldness on his body. Lin Qingqian handed the cup to him and her brows moved slightly. ¡°Why did you take a cold shower? What if you catch a cold?¡± Jiang Yanshen took the cup with his cold fingertips and looked at her with burning eyes. Lin Qingqian realized something and silently looked away. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly as he drank the warm water unhurriedly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Apany me to sleep for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him again and then at the two-meter-long bed. Jiang Yanshen held her wrist and muttered, ¡°Just lie down for a while and don¡¯t do anything, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian turned off themp andy down with him. Only the sound of their breathing was left in the dark and quiet room. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was muddled and tired, but she didn¡¯t feel sleepy at all after lying down. Jiang Yanshen probably sensed it too. His long arm passed under her neck and he hugged her gently. He said in a low voice, ¡°Go to sleep. You still have to work during the day.¡± His warm breath entered her ears. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s masculine aura enveloped her entire body and she couldn¡¯t help but tremble slightly. Afraid of what he would do, Lin Qingqian closed her eyes tightly and forced herself to sleep. Jiang Yanshen hugged her until he felt her entire body rx. Her breathing was even as he lowered his head and kissed her cheek. He carefully pulled his arm out and got out of bed. He covered her with the nket and walked out of the bedroom without moving. The corridor was quiet. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall body walked down the stairs slowly. His handsome features were calm, and he was no longer as tense and serious as before. Seeing him go downstairs, Lu Yuan handed over his phone. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone. ¡°They went back?¡± Lu Yuan: ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You should go back too, ¡± Jiang Yanshen said calmly. ¡°Bring a set of women¡¯s clothes over in the morning.¡± Lu Yuan nced upstairs and then at Director Jiang¡¯s expression. Some guesses surged in his heart, but he didn¡¯t dare to ask. After answering, he silently backed off. Jiang Yanshen held his phone and hesitated for a moment before calling. The other party seemed to have expected him to call and quickly picked up. ¡°Was she suspicious?¡± The woman¡¯s clear voice on the other end of the line said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Director Jiang. She knows everything you want her to know. I didn¡¯t say a word about what she shouldn¡¯t know.¡± Jiang Yanshen hummed softly. Just as he was about to hang up, the woman on the other end of the phone spoke again¡ª ¡°Director Jiang, I have to remind you that I¡¯m a psychiatrist, not your special assistant. Helping you woo women is not within my job scope. Also¡­ you¡¯re ying with fire!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm and he didn¡¯t even blink. ¡°The fact that she can stabilize my emotions is also to help you reduce the workload.¡± snen znlwer ¡® ¡°Song Qin will transfer the money to you tomorrow.¡± With that, he hung up. After standing downstairs for a few minutes, he turned around and returned to the bedroom. He carefullyy down and tried not to wake her up. His long arms pulled her into his arms. In the dim light, he saw her sleeping soundly. No matter how firm his heart was, it would soften into a mess. He couldn¡¯t help but kiss her cheek. Perhaps it was a little ticklish, Lin Qingqian subconsciously lowered her head and burrowed into his arms like a cat. In the darlmess, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips slowly curled up. At dawn, Lin Qingqian was woken up by the rm on her phone. When she opened her eyes, Jiang Yanshen was no longer beside her. There was a set of clean clothes on the bedside table, and on the top was a set of close-fitting clothes. Her fair cheeks were stained with a thinyer of red. She stood up and walked into the bathroom with her clothes. Ten minutester, she went downstairs in a red dress. Jiang Yanshen sat at the dining table with his Bluetooth earpiece on. From the corner of his eye, he saw a red figure and immediately hung up. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and walked to the dining table to sit down. Jiang Yanshen pushed the breakfast in front of her. ¡°Lu Yuan bought it. Try it and see if you like it.¡± Thinking of thest time he bought takeout and pretended to have made it himself, her red lips couldn¡¯t help but curl into a faint smile. Seeing her smile, a smile also appeared in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. ¡°Did you sleep well? If not, don¡¯t go to the office today. Rest at home.¡± ¡°No need, mypany is very busy!¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Then after work, Lu Yuan will help you move.¡± Lin Qingqian stopped eating her porridge and looked up at him. ¡°Move?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°You¡¯re moving in with me.¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Lin Qingqian put down the spoon in her hand and stared at him with her clear eyes. She said bluntly, ¡°I won¡¯t move in with you now.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features slowly darkened. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve just started to be together again. There¡¯s no need to live together so quickly,¡± Lin Qingqian replied unhurriedly. Jiang Yanshen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°We don¡¯t have to sleep on the same bed. There are many rooms here. You can stay in whichever one you like.¡± In the end, he added, ¡°1 won¡¯t touch you without your permission, okay?¡± Thest sentence waspletely soft. Lin Qingqian still insisted, ¡°It has nothing to do with this.¡± ¡°Then why?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened slightly, and he stubbornly wanted to know the reason. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and couldn¡¯t help but sigh.. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what¡¯s the difference between the current you and before?¡± Chapter 201 - 201: I Won’t Hurt You, Ever. Chapter 201: I Won¡¯t Hurt You, Ever. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen froze and was silent for a moment. ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t want to move, then don¡¯t.¡± Perhaps it was because of her obediencest night that he had the illusion that they had returned to the past. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and lowered her head to eat her breakfast. After breakfast, Lu Yuan came in to report thepany¡¯s current situation. Jiang Yanshen waited for him to finish his report and nodded lightly. Then, he said, ¡°Clean up the things.¡± Lu Yuan was stunned and looked at Lin Qingqian, who was stacking up the bowls. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yanshen stood up and wiped her hands with a wet towel. ¡°Help me hire a helperter. ¡± Since he had moved to Begonia Courtyard, he naturally didn¡¯t want to use the people from the Jiang residence anymore. Lu Yuan felt like he had been forcefully stuffed with dog food. As he cleaned up, he said bitterly, ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen wiped Lin Qingqian¡¯s hands clean, picked up the suit on the back of the chair, and put it on. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to work.¡± ¡°Go and do your work. I¡¯ll drive myself.¡± Tianyue Group was definitely in a mess now. There were many things waiting for him to deal with. Jiang Yanshen held her hand. ¡°Give your car keys to Lu Yuan. I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Seeing his firm attitude, Lin Qingqian could only give the car keys to Lu Yuan and let him hold her hand as they walked out. The chauffeur was waiting outside the door. When he saw theme out, he immediately opened the car door. The ck Maybach sped along the road in a low-key manner. The chauffeur looked straight ahead and focused on driving. Ever since Lin Qingqian got into the car, her hand had been held tightly by him. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s palm was pressed tightly against hers, and the warmth made her feel unreal for a few seconds. She secretly nced at his handsome side profile from the corner of her eye. Coincidentally, Jiang Yanshen was also looking at her. When he realized that she was peeking at him, his eyes couldn¡¯t help but soften. Lin Qingqian immediately shifted her gaze to look out of the car window, pretending that nothing had happened. Jiang Yanshen was even happier when he saw her pretending to be calm. His lips curled up slightly. ¡°If you want to look, just look openly. I won¡¯tugh at you.¡± His low and hoarse voice made the atmosphere in the car feel more ambiguous. Lin Qingqian nced sideways at him because of the chauffeur and changed the topic in a gentle voice. ¡°Can you tell me about Madam Jiang?¡± After all, it was an embarrassing family scandal and she didn¡¯t dare to ask too bluntly. Jiang Yanshen also roughly guessed her thoughts. His fingertips tightened around her fair hand as he said indifferently, ¡°She¡¯s using this method to take revenge on me.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Revenge?¡± What kind of logic was this? ¡°Aren¡¯t you curious why I¡¯ve always hated Li Ruzhu?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her and said numbly, ¡°Because she¡¯s the daughter of Li Gun¡¯s first lover.¡± He probably really hated this person and couldn¡¯t even be bothered to call her by her name. Surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes, but Jiang Yanshen¡¯s next words shocked her even more. ¡°Li Gun has always been in contact with her first love.¡± All along, she had thought that Madam Jiang didn¡¯t like her and wanted Jiang Yanshen to marry Li Ruzhu only because she looked down on her background. She didn¡¯t expect there to be such a reason. ¡°What about Grandma?¡± Lin Qingqian thought of Grandma and her heart tightened. ¡°Does Grandma know?¡± Seeing her worried expression, Jiang Yanshen immediately thought of his Grandma. His gaze couldn¡¯t help but be gentle. ¡°Grandma¡¯s heart is like a mirror. She didn¡¯t expose it because she wanted to save my father¡¯s face.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly. ¡°Grandma must be so angry and sad. ¡± Jiang Yanshen pinched her fingers gently and smiled. ¡°Grandma is stronger than you think. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t insisted on letting Li Ruzhu be detained, Madam Jiang wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen interrupted, ¡°This has nothing to do with you.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and heard his low voice say, ¡°She always thought that I didn¡¯t know. Previously, she found out that I already knew about this. She exposed her scandal to take revenge on the Jiang Family and me.¡± That was the case, but if not for her, Madam Jiang might not have done something so extreme and damaging to all parties involved. ¡°Then what should we do next?¡± She pursed her lips. ¡°Is there anything I can help you with?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up slightly as he touched her hand to his lips. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do anything. Just stay by my side.¡± The warm touch made the ce where she was kissed feel as hot as if it was on fire. Lin Qingqian smiled. The car stopped at the entrance of thepany. Lin Qingqian wanted to push open the door and get out. Suddenly, a force pulled her back and hugged her tightly, leaving no gap. Lin Qingqian was stunned and reached out to hug him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm breathnded on her neck. It was warm and ticklish¡­ ¡°Qianqian, it¡¯s toote for you to regret now.¡± He wouldn¡¯t and couldn¡¯t let go again! Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°I won¡¯t regret it.¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°But if you can¡¯t control yourself and attack me, I can¡¯t guarantee it. ¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± He let go of her, his dark eyes filled with endless softness. His warm lips pressed against her forehead as he said hoarsely, ¡°I won¡¯t hurt you. Ever.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. She felt that the ces his lips touched were numb, and her ears slowly warmed up. ¡°Got it.¡± With that, her voice softened unconsciously. She turned around, pushed open the car door, and ran. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s magma-like eyes looked at her back, and his lips curled up again. The chauffeur saw him smiling through the rearview mirror and felt that the entire world had been turned upside down. Director Jiang smiled!!! And he even smiled so gently!!! How many women in Lan City would go crazy if they saw this!! Sensing the chauffeur¡¯s gaze, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s smile immediately darkened and he regained his usual coldness. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The chauffeur also sensed it. He coughed lightly and asked, ¡°Are you going back to thepany?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look out of the car window. Without looking up, he said coldly, ¡°Jiang residence.¡± Madam Jiang¡¯s scandal was known by everyone in Lan City. The Jiang residence had been shrouded in smog since yesterday. When the servants saw Jiang Yanshen, they became even more vignt as if they were facing a great enemy. They walked on thin ice and didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. Jiang Yanshen asked where Madam Jiang was. The servant replied carefully, ¡°Madam is resting and doesn¡¯t want us to disturb her. ¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything else and walked to the second floor. The curtains in the bedroom were tightly drawn, and there was no light at all. Li Gun was wearing an eye mask and sleeping under the silk nket. She wasn¡¯t affected by the outside at all and slept soundly. Suddenly, a basin of cold water fell from the sky. She suddenly sat up and shouted, ¡°AHH¡­ After taking off the blindfold, she saw Jiang Yanshen sitting at the end of the bed with a bodyguard holding a red bucket beside him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what are you doing?¡± She reached out to touch her hair and clothes. They were all drenched and she couldn¡¯t help but shiver. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was silent, and his voice was cold without any warmth. ¡°I¡¯m here to talk to you.¡± Li Gun¡¯s face without makeup was covered in fine lines. Her face was pale and disheveled.. When she heard this, she sneered and said, ¡°What is there to talk about?¡± Chapter 202 - 202: Will He Still Be Like Before? Chapter 202: Will He Still Be Like Before? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Lin Qingqian returned to the office, the heat on her face had already mostly subsided. She really didn¡¯t expect that at the age of 25, she would still be teased by this man until her face turned red and her heart raced. Her fair fingers touched the ces he had kissed. Kissing the forehead meant¡ªyou¡¯re the most precious. Did he kiss her because he knew what it meant? On second thought, he was a simple guy who didn¡¯t understand emotions. He was so dog-like in the past. How could he know what this meant? She was really thinking too much! Su Ying brought in coffee. Seeing the smile on her lips, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Sister Qingqian, you look a little different today.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her. ¡°How am I different?¡± ¡°I think¡­¡± Su Ying thought for a moment and replied, ¡°You look more cheerful. Is there something happy? Something to be happy about? Getting back together with Jiang Yanshen could be considered a good thing, but it was still inconvenient to make it public for the time being. Su Ying nodded and went back to work. As soon as she went out, Suisui sneaked in. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Are you a thief?¡± Suisui closed the door and turned to look at her, her eyes fixed on her without saying anything. She reached out and touched her face. ¡°What¡¯s on my face?¡± Suisui walked to the desk and ced her hands on her hips. She said solemnly, ¡°Comrade Lin Qingqian, tell me honestly¡­ Have you gotten back together with Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect her to know so quickly. ¡°Don¡¯t try to deny it.¡± Suisui gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I saw it all. You got out of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s car this morning.¡± Since she had seen it, there was nothing to deny. Moreover, Suisui was her best friend. ¡°I won¡¯t deny it.¡± ¡°Qianqian!¡± When Suisui heard her words, she became anxious. ¡°How can you repeat the same mistake? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?¡± ¡°He let his Mom bully you, raised a spare tire, and even let you live like a widow! There are countless crimes. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± Lin Qingqian: Was it such an unforgivable crime? ¡°It¡¯s true that Madam Jiang bullied me, but it¡¯s also right that I lived like a widow. But what¡¯s with raising a spare tire?¡± ¡°Li Ruzhu!¡± Suisui was indignant. ¡°He raised a spare tire to bully you. Isn¡¯t that just bullying you for not having a spare tire of your own?!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°He didn¡¯t raise Li Ruzhu.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but defend him. ¡°At most, Madam Jiang was the one trying to raise a concubine for him!¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. ¡°Qianqian, why are you taking things so hard? What¡¯s so good about Jiang Yanshen? You abandoned the warm man in front of you and returned to the field with withered grass! ¡°Warm man?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°Xiao Bai!¡± Suisui said agitatedly, ¡°Xiao Bai is good-looking, has a good temper, and is talented! Most importantly, his parents are no longer around. You don¡¯t even have to serve your inws!¡± Lin Qingqian was speechless for a few seconds before saying helplessly, ¡°Stop fooling around. Xiao Bai and I are just ordinary colleagues.¡± ¡°Bullsh*t!!¡± Suisui rolled her eyes at her. ¡°With my experience chasing celebrities, I know that Xiao Bai must like you!¡± ¡°The way he looks at you is so gentle that it can drip water!¡± Suisui vowed. ¡°Thest time I saw this kind of expression was on Ren Guangxi.¡± ¡°And?¡± ¡°Then, his rtionship with the female lead was exposed and thepany shut him down.¡± Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t say this in the future, lest Xiao Bai feels awkward. If he resigns, I¡¯ll have to pass all the work to you.¡± Suisui pursed her lips. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, forget it!¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°You¡¯ll suffer if you don¡¯t listen to the words of the wise. Don¡¯t cry to me if you¡¯re bullied by Jiang Yanshen in the future!¡± With that, she turned around and ran out. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and lowered her eyes to think.. Would he still be like before? Chapter 203 - 203: Jiang Lacking Discernment Yanshen Chapter 203: Jiang Lacking Discernment Yanshen Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold, and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about your old lover¡¯s daughter.¡± Li Gun was stunned and her expression immediately changed. ¡°What do you want to do to Ruzhu?¡± ¡°That depends on whether you cooperate or not,¡± Jiang Yanshen said coldly. He turned his head and gave Lu Yuan a look. Lu Yuan ced his hands in front of him and said in a businesslike tone, ¡°Madam Jiang, the public rtions department of Tianyue will announce a press conference to rify the scandal. You just have to cooperate and say at the press conference that you were deceived. It would be even better if you could cry and be heartbroken.¡± Li Gun didn¡¯t expect a small special assistant to dare to speak to her like this. She was immediately furious. ¡°What if I don¡¯t cooperate?¡± ¡°There are all kinds of people in the detention center. If anything happens to Miss Li¡­¡± Lu Yuan stopped. Li Gun¡¯s eyes suddenly widened. ¡°You, what are you trying to do? Killing people is illegal¡­ She looked at the man sitting on the chair in fear. His exquisite facial features were as handsome and heartless as could be. Lu Yuan: ¡°Madam Jiang, you must be joking. Director Jiang is an entrepreneur and doesn¡¯t know how to kill people. I was just stating the possibility of an ident.¡± In a ce like the detention center, it was normal for bad things to happen. Li Gun held her breath and immediately felt the blood in her body freeze. ¡°Moreover, even if Miss Li is fine, the Li Family¡­¡± Lu Yuan reminded her again. The Li Family had be rich with Li Gun¡¯s help over the years, but it was still not worth mentioning whenpared to Tianyue Group. If Tianyue Group wanted to deal with the Li Family, it would be as easy as crushing an ant. Li Gun¡¯s face gradually turned ashen. In a moment of anger, she only wanted to embarrass Jiang Yanshen and the Jiang Family. She wanted to take revenge on Jiang Yanshen, but she forgot¡­ The Jiang family was still under Jiang Yanshen¡¯s control. Going against him was like throwing an egg at a rock. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was indifferent the entire time as he watched his biological mother lie limply on the bed. He stood up and buttoned his shirt with his cold white fingers. His thin lips twitched slightly. ¡°Behave yourself and be a good Madam Jiang. Otherwise, I don¡¯t mind cleaning up Grandma¡¯s house! ¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he retracted his cold gaze and walked out of the room. Lu Yuan followed behind the bodyguard. ¡°AH!¡± Li Gun shouted angrily. She grabbed a pillow and smashed it on the ground, cursing, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you bastard. I shouldn¡¯t have given birth to you back then!¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you bastard, why didn¡¯t you die with that Jiang fellow back then! ! ¡± Jiang Yanshen, who was standing in the corridor at the door, stopped in his tracks. His entire body exuded a terrifying sinister aura. His hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and the corners of his eyes were red¡­ When Lu Yuan heard the endless cursing in the room, he couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He thought to himself, ¡°Director Jiang is really unlucky to have such a mother¡­ It¡¯s simply eight lifetimes of umted bad luck.¡± After a moment of silence, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes closed slightly. He hid the redness in his eyes and covered them with ayer of coldness. His long and straight legs walked forward resolutely and alone. He walked forward alone. But he knew very well that he was no longer alone. He has Lin Qingqian now!! Tianyue Group moved very quickly and held a news conference in the afternoon. At the news conference, Madam Jiang looked haggard and pale. She expressed with tears that she had drunk too much and had been deceived. Lu Yuan spoke on behalf of Jiang Yanshen. Thevvyer was already preparing the documents. In a few days, they would go through legal procedures. Regarding Madam Jiang and the harm suffered by Tianyue Group, all legal responsibility would be investigated. For a moment, Madam Jiang, who was involved in a scandal with a wealthy family, turned into a widow that everyone pitied. Lin Qingqian finished watching the live-stream of the press conference in the office and sighed at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s methods and speed. Compared to blindly denying it, admitting and shaping Madam Jiang¡¯s identity as a victim was the best way to deal with the matter for the Jiang Family and Tianyue Group! As expected, when the stock market closed in the afternoon, the share price of the Tianyue Group was clearly rising again. The stock price has stabilized. It shouldn¡¯t be difficult for Jiang Yanshen to handle thepany¡¯s internal matters. Lin Qingqian felt that she could finally heave a sigh of relief. Her work efficiency increased a lot in the afternoon. After returning home from work, she went to the market and bought a few vegetables. At night, Lin Qingqian quickly prepared dinner. Just as she was about to eat, the doorbell suddenly rang. She went to look at the door and was stunned to see Jiang Yanshen standing at the door. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang nced at the dining table. ¡°You¡¯re not inviting me in?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before making way. ¡°Come in.¡± Jiang Yanshen walked in without changing his shoes. Lu Yuan and Song Qin followed behind, each carrying two 28-inch ck suitcases. ¡°Wait!¡± Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand to stop Lu Yuan and Song Qin. She looked at Jiang Yanshen in confusion. ¡®What are you doing? Walking to the living room, Jiang Yanshen took off his suit and ced it on the sofa. He turned to look at her with a serious expression. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to move in with me, I can only move in with you.¡± He looked at the house where he couldn¡¯t even turn around properly, and his tone was filled with grievance. Lin Qingqian: Can I turn on the swearing switch? Jiang Yanshen seemed to not know what she was thinking. As he walked to the dining table, he unbuttoned his shirt with one hand and acted as if it was his house. ¡°You made this?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten your food in a long time.¡± As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and sat down. He picked up Lin Qingqian¡¯s bowl and started eating. Lin Qingqian: Lu Yuan and Song Qin took the opportunity to push his luggage into the bedroom. Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°Jiang Yanshen, stop fooling around. I only have one room here.¡± Lin Qingqian walked to the dining table and frowned. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her¡­ Lin After a moment, she asked curiously, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you want me to sleep in the living room?¡± Jiang Yanshen blinked, as if he had realized that it was a little ungentlemanly to let a woman sleep on the sofa. He resigned himself to fate and said, ¡°I¡¯ll sleep there.¡± ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± Lin Qingqian pulled out a chair and sat opposite him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s better for us to maintain a little distance?¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped eating and put down his chopsticks. He stood up and walked behind her. He bent down and suddenly hugged her. Before Lin Qingqian could react to what he wanted to do, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and depressed voice sounded in her ears. ¡°It¡¯s been a day¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you miss me at all?¡± A low and hoarse voice entered her ears along with the warm wind, instantly making Lin Qingqian¡¯s ears turn red. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t stop there. He continued in a seductive voice, ¡°I miss you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s entire back froze. She wanted to move and stand up, but the warm embrace gradually made her lose her rationality, and her limbs were no longer under hermand. ¡°I will not make you feel that I only look at you when I remember you, and put you aside when I don¡¯t. Let me stay, okay? The word ¡°okay¡± seemed to be whispered into her ear. His breath sprayed against her ear and flowed into her heart along her blood vessels. Her heart, which had been ignored and turned cold, seemed to be slowly recovering and gradually gaining warmth. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t¡­¡± Her voice softened for some reason. Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen held her cheek and kissed her cherry-red lips. He asked again, ¡°Okay?¡± Lin Qingqian sighed secretly and admitted defeat without any fighting spirit. Having achieved his goal, Jiang Yanshen immediately let go of her and returned to the dining table to sit down. His eyes were filled with joy. ¡°Then let¡¯s have dinner.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Why did it feel like he was actually heartless? Equally depressed were Lu Yuan and Song Qin, who were blocked in the bedroom. They had originally put Director Jiang¡¯s things away and were about toe out, but as soon as the door opened a crack, they saw Director Jiang carrying Madam. They were so frightened that they closed the door again. Song Qin sat on the luggage with a depressed expression. ¡°When can we go out? I¡¯m so hungry¡­ Lu Yuan nced at her slightly bulging stomach. ¡°Bear with it! If we go out now, we¡¯ll be eating dirt for the rest of our life!¡± The main reason was that he didn¡¯t want to be implicated by Song Qin. He was Director Jiang¡¯s trusted aide. He wouldn¡¯t be fired, but his sry would be deducted! If his sry was deducted, how could he help his idol sit on the rankings! Song Qin thought of eating dirt for the rest of her life and silently endured her hunger. After dinner, Lin Qingqian cleaned up the dishes. Jiang Yanshen followed behind her. The kitchen was too small, so he silently retreated. Lu Yuan and Song Qin took the opportunity toe out. ¡°Director Jiang, everything has been ced. We¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded, his eyes filled with impatience. He was dissatisfied that they were only leaving now. Lu Yuan and Song Qin looked at each other andined in their hearts, ¡°We were just afraid that we¡¯ll ruin your ns!!!¡± When Lin Qingqian came out of the kitchen, she saw a 1.8-meter-tall man squatting on the balcony and grabbing her vegetable seedlings. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and asked curiously, ¡°What kind of flower is this? Why haven¡¯t I seen it before?¡± Lin Qingqian choked and replied, ¡°These aren¡¯t flowers. They¡¯re vegetables I nted.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® After being speechless for a few seconds, he asked curiously, ¡°Why are you nting vegetables at home?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good for the environment and also edible. It¡¯s killing two birds with one stone.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression became a little indescribable. His fingertips pinched the tips of the vegetables. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart ached as she pulled his hand away. ¡°Don¡¯t destroy my vegetables. I¡¯m still hoping that I won¡¯t have to buy vegetables next month!¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up obediently like a big child, but it was still very difficult to understand when he looked down at the vegetables nted in the flower pot. ¡°Are you so poor that you can¡¯t afford to buy vegetables?¡± At the thought of this possibility, his ck eyes looked at her with heartache. Lin Qingqian was caught betweenughter and tears. ¡°Why is it that if I nt some vegetables, I¡¯m so poor that I can¡¯t afford to buy vegetables? Can¡¯t I nt something to nurture my emotions?¡± ¡°Other people like to grow flowers, but I¡¯m from the countryside. Can¡¯t I like to grow vegetables?¡± Jiang Yanshen understood. He held one hand and pointed at the basin with the other. ¡°What vegetable is this?¡± ¡°Spinach. ¡± ¡°What about this?¡± ¡°Evergreen snruD.¡± ¡°This is¡­ chives?¡± Jiang looked at the thin and long nt and guessed with certainty. Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­That¡¯s a scallion.¡± Jiang ¡°Lacking Discernment¡± Yanshen: ¡® ¡°Is it good?¡± Seeing that he was asking seriously, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°You¡¯ll know in a month.¡± ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Jiang Yanshen was puzzled.. Could it be that he had done something very funny? Chapter 204 - 204: The Dog of A Man Is Still A Dog of A Man Chapter 204: The Dog of A Man Is Still A Dog of A Man Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian didnt answer. Her clear eyes widened as she quietly sized up him for a moment and asked curiously, ¡°Are you really Jiang Yanshen? Not Jiang Xiao Jiu? You¡¯ve never said so much to me before.¡± In the past, Jiang Yanshen seemed to have no patience for anything and always looked impatient. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s originally slightly curved lips froze, and the light in his eyes darkened. The hint of joy and sweetness in the air disappeared. Lin Qingqian realized something and restrained her smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± She let go of his hand. When their fingertips separated, Jiang Yanshen held her small hand back. His warm palm wrapped around her small hand tightly. Her lowered eyes swept up as she looked at him in surprise. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡­ like him very much?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said, ¡°How can that be? I¡¯ve only seen him once.¡± Something was surging in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes. It was too fast and Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t see it clearly. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s fine if you have a split personality. You didn¡¯tmit murder or arson.¡± Lin Qingqianforted him softly. ¡°Moreover¡­ Jiang Xiao Jiu looks quite innocent.¡± Jiang Yanshen gently pulled her into his arms. He bent down and lowered his head, resting his chin on her shoulder. When he turned his head, he could smell the fragrance in her hair, as if this could calm the restlessness in his heart and the dark surging in his heart. Lin Qingqian was stunned by him. She didn¡¯t know why she had a feeling. She felt that he was no longer omnipotent and indestructible, but a man with weaknesses. Her slender arms wrapped around his firm and fleshless waist. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm breath echoed in her ears, and her skin that was pressed tightly together could clearly feel his heart beating strongly. A breeze swept through, sweeping up the white curtains and her fluttering hair. The vegetable leaves in the flower pot were imprinted with crescent marks and swayed happily. Stars appeared one after another in the dark night sky, like countless diamonds shing, decorating the entire night sky with a brilliant romance. Midsummer had arrived. This night was destined to be an extraordinary one. Lin Qingqian prepared the shower and got a towel for Jiang Yanshen, as well as a nket and pillow for him on the sofa. At night, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t let her close the door when she slept, so she didn¡¯t. After turning off the lights and lying down, the house was pitch-ck. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t fall asleep despite tossing on the bed for an unknown period of time. She reached out to touch her cell phone and saw the time: 00:30. The sound of someone flipping over came from the living room again. Lin Qingqian let out a long sigh, turned on the lights, got off the bed, and walked out of the room. Hearing themotion, Jiang Yanshen also sat up. With the dim light in the bedroom, he saw Lin Qingqiane out. ¡®Why aren¡¯t you asleep?¡± ¡°I want to sleep too, if you¡¯ll stop flipping and tossing out here.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes were filled with resentment. In the darkness, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face burned as he said in a dull tone, ¡°The sofa is too small.¡± At 1.89 meters tall, it was really aggrieved for him to sleep on such a small sofa. Lin Qingqian sighed secretly. ¡°Forget it. Go and sleep on the bed. I¡¯ll sleep on the sofa.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his ck eyes and rejected her firmly. ¡°I still have to work during the day.¡± Lin Qingqian walked to his side and lifted the nket. ¡°Take pity on an office worker like me.¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment before holding her hand. His fingertips caressed her hand carefully, and his voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°We can sleep together.¡± Lin Qingqian flung his hand away as if she had been electrocuted. ¡°Either I sleep on the sofa and you sleep on the bed, or I¡¯ll call Lu Yuan to pick you up.¡± This man really knew how to go too far. Compared to being chased out and sleeping on the bed, Jiang Yanshen decisively chose thetter and stood up to give her the sofa. He went to sleep on the bed without any psychological burden. Lin Qingqian was used to living a poor life since she was young. Even after living in the Jiang Family for seven years, she didn¡¯t develop any airs. It was not a problem for her to sleep on the sofa. However, before she fell asleep, a sentence involuntarily shed across her mind: The Dog of a man is still a Dog of a man!! On the other hand, Jiang Yansheny on the bed that was filled with Lin Qingqian¡¯s scent, resting on her pillow and covered with her nket, he felt it was even more difficult to sleep. All kinds of incessant thoughts shed through his mind. Coupled with the fact that it was still warm under the nket, he felt hot all night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn. In the morning, Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes under the cries of the birds raised by the old man next door. When he got up, he smelled a fragrance. When he walked out of the room, he saw a busy figure in the kitchen and was stunned. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw him. She walked to the door and asked, ¡°What are you standing there for?¡± Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and strode in front of her without saying a word. He opened his arms and hugged her. Lin Qingqian was stunned by his hug. She turned her head and tried to call out, ¡°Jiang¡­ Yanshen?¡± Jiang Yan took a deep breath of the air filled with her scent. His gently closed eyes opened with a gentle light, and his voice was low and hoarse. ¡°It¡¯s good to have a smaller house.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± What was wrong with this guy? Did he go crazy after not sleeping wellst night? Jiang didn¡¯t exin. He let go and turned to wash up in the washroom. Lin Qingqian, who had been abandoned on the spot: ¡°¡­¡± She looked up and saw the man standing in the washroom brushing his teeth. She couldn¡¯t help but smile. For breakfast, Lin Qingqian prepared wonton noodles. The wontons were made early in the morning. They were sprinkled with green onions and drizzled with two drops of fragrant oil. They looked, smelled, and tasted good. Jiang Yanshen, who usually only ate Western-style breakfast, finished the bowl of wonton noodles for the first time. His stomach felt warm and was no longer cold. After breakfast, Lin Qingqian went to wash the dishes. When she came out of the kitchen, Jiang Yanshen had already changed his clothes. ¡°Go and change your clothes. I¡¯ll send you to work.¡± Lin Qingqian stood still and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll drive myself.¡¯ Jiang Yanshen stood rooted to the ground, his dark eyes looking at her inquisitively. Lin Qingqian knew that he would not give up without a reason. ¡°Suisui saw me get out of your car yesterday.¡± ¡°So?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Suisui doesn¡¯t like you and doesn¡¯t want us to be together.¡± Hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features finally changed slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t need her to like me.¡± His voice was mixed with coldness. Lin Qingqian knew that he didn¡¯t understand the feelings between best friends and exined patiently, ¡°Suisui is my best friend. She treats me very well. I hope to receive her blessings and support.¡± Jiang Yanshen fell silent, his brows shrouded in a haze. ¡°We¡¯ve just gotten together. It¡¯s better to keep a low profile. After a long time, Suisui will realize that you¡¯re different from before. Her impression of you will change.¡± Lin Qingqianforted him. To Jiang Yanshen, it didn¡¯t matter what others thought of him other than Lin Qingqian. He also disdained the likes and changes of others, but¡ª From the looks of it, she clearly cared about the girl called Suisui. If he treated her forcefully, she would be unhappy. He suppressed the frustration in his heart and nodded softly. After thinking for a moment, he asked, ¡°Does she like Lu Qinshang very much?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°She¡¯s Lu Qinshang¡¯s fan.¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to let Lu Qinshang seduce her. Suisui is a good girl.¡± Jiang Yanshen hugged her slender waist and lowered his head to stamp a seal on her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Lu Qinshang is flirtatious but not obscene.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips felt warm, and sweetness slowly surged in her heart. Her eyes were filled with smiles. The withdrawal of the Ling Family¡¯s investment in Z Magazine was a blow to the magazine agency. Lin Qingqian was still hesitating if she should talk to Lu Dongcheng when she received a call from Vin saying that someone had invested. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lin Qingqian asked curiously. Vin: ¡°You should be very familiar with thispany, White!¡± ¡°Master L?¡± Lin Qingqian never expected it to be him. ¡°It was their chief secretary, Xu Wan, who came to talk to us personally. She only asked for Sheng Yan to appear on the cover of Z magazine.¡± Sheng Yan was the spokesperson of White in the country. This condition was reasonable. ¡°Then I have to congratte you. Although Sheng Yan came from a popr background, he has relied on his own efforts to transform into a capable person in the past two years. He deserves to be in your magazine.¡± Vin: ¡°Thank you. I n to let Sheng Yan do the theme of ¡®Summer¡¯. I hope you can give me some advice when the timees.¡± Lin Qingqian agreed readily. In the afternoon, Shi Guang Studio weed an unexpected guest. Lin Qingqian pushed open the lounge door and saw a man sitting on the sofa. Although he was dressed in branded clothes, he wore a thick golden ne around his neck and a golden ring on his finger. There was the strong aura of a nouveau riche. He looked at Lin Qingqian and sized up her coldly. ¡°I¡¯m Lin Qingqian. You are¡ª¡± Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa and didn¡¯t move. ¡°I¡¯m Li Ruzhu¡¯s father, the general manager of the Wealth Company, Li Dashun.¡± Wasn¡¯t Li Ruzhu¡¯s father Madam Jiang¡¯s lover? When Lin Qingqian reacted, she immediately felt disgusted. Li Dashun didn¡¯t notice the disgust in her eyes. He took out a cheque from his pocket and pped it on the coffee table. ¡°This is double the price of your clothes. Take it to the police station to close the case.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly, and her eyes were cold. ¡°Is Mr. Li ordering me?¡± Li Dashun¡¯s expression changed slightly. He had long heard from his daughter that this woman was not easy to deal with. Today, he saw that it was indeed so. He put down his crossed legs and leaned forward slightly, expressing his goodwill. ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing to close the case, you can name your price. Miss Lin, you have to leave a way out for people so that we can meet politely in the future. ¡± If it were anyone else, Lin Qingqian might consider leaving a way out. But when she thought of Madam Jiang getting together with such a man, and Jiang Yanshen was disgusted by such a person¡­ She wanted to send this man in too. ¡°I won¡¯t close the case. Please don¡¯te again, Mr. Li.¡± Li Dashun¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold. He stood up and said, ¡°It seems like you want to do this the hard way? Lin Qingqian was not frightened by his fierce appearance. Her tone was calm. ¡°Li Ruzhu took more than one piece of clothing. Mr. Li, do you think that if I expose everything, she will have to go to jail for a few years before she cane out?¡± ¡°You!¡± Li Dashun¡¯s face was ashen with anger, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. ¡°Little girl, be careful not to encounter ghosts if you step too much in the shadows.¡± Lin Qingqian said with a cold expression, ¡°I¡¯ll also return this sentence to Mr. Li Dashun snorted and walked out. Suisui, Su Ying, and Han Liubai walked in at the same time. Su Ying said worriedly, ¡°Sister Qingqian, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Suisui: ¡°This man is obviously not a good person. He won¡¯t do anything to you, right?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know if Li Dashun would do anything, but she didn¡¯t want them to worry. She still said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Han Liubai said worriedly, ¡°You have to be careful when you go in and out these few days. Don¡¯t drive anymore. I¡¯ll pick you up..¡± Chapter 205 - 205: Xiao Bai Who Came to Ask for Water Chapter 205: Xiao Bai Who Came to Ask for Water Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­¡± Lin Qingqian thought of the person at home and blurted out a rejection, causing everyone to look at her in surprise. Suisui blinked. ¡°Aiya, you¡¯d better be careful! Li Ruzhu is not a nice person!¡± ¡°Although our Xiao Bai looks delicate, he¡¯s still a man!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± Han Liubai: ¡°¡­¡± These words didn¡¯t sound like they were praising him. Su Ying: ¡°That¡¯s right, Sister Qingqian. Let Designer Han send you back. That way, we can be at ease.¡± Under their insistence, Lin Qingqian had no room to refute. When they all went out, she couldn¡¯t help but re at Suisui. ¡°You¡¯re really enjoying the show.¡± ¡°What!¡± Suisui looked innocent. ¡°I¡¯m just worried about your safety! Besides, even if you and Jiang Yanshen got back together, what¡¯s wrong with letting a colleague send you home? If he can¡¯t even understand this, I think you should break up with him as soon as possible.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Jiang Yanshen is staying at my house now.¡± Suisui¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re living with him so quickly? Don¡¯t you know that things that are easy to get are not cherished? Have you fed your past experiences to the dogs?¡± ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her. ¡°I sleep on the sofa, and he sleeps on the bed.¡± Suisui: ¡°He let his girlfriend sleep on the sofa but slept on the bed himself. This kind of dog of a man is even more impossible.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Now is not the time to talk about this. Let¡¯s think about how to deal with Xiao Bai first.¡± Suisui¡¯s eyes drifted. ¡°Aiya! What¡¯s there to do? Jiang Yanshen is so busy. Do you think he¡¯ll cook at home and wait for you?! You won¡¯t bump into him!¡± Lin Qingqian thought about what she said. It made sense, and the worry in her heart waspletely dispelled. After work, Han Liubai drove Lin Qingqian¡¯s car back. The car stopped downstairs and Lin Qingqian unbuckled her seatbelt and alighted. Han Liubai got out of the car and locked it before handing her the car keys. Lin Qingqian took the car keys. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bai, but you don¡¯t have to pick me up tomorrow. I¡¯ll call if there¡¯s anything.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes were gentle. ¡°Director Lin, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. It¡¯s convenient for me.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯m not being polite, I¡¯m just¡ª¡± Before she could finish speaking, a honk suddenly covered her voice. In the distance, a ck Maybach slowly drove over and stopped. Without waiting for the chauffeur to open the door, Jiang Yanshen got out of the car and stared at Lin Qingqian with his hawk-like eyes. A few secondster, he looked at Han Liubai¡­ Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® Was Suisui¡¯s mouth blessed? She really bumped into him just like that!! Han Liubai met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze indifferently. He was neither humble nor arrogant, indifferent and noble. When Lin Qingqian saw Jiang Yanshen walking over, her heart couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Her mind was spinning about how to deal with what would nappen next. To her surprise¡ª Jiang Yanshen walked to her side and only hugged her shoulder very naturally. He turned to look at Han Liubai. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Han, for sending my girlfriend back.¡± Lin Qingqian nced sideways. Was this still the Jiang Yanshen she knew? Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t seem to feel her gaze and remained calm. Han Liubai smiled. ¡°Director Jiang, you¡¯re too polite.¡± The two of them spoke one after another, as if the previous confrontation had never happened. Seeing that Jiang Yanshen was not as angry as she had expected, Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gentle voice¡ª ¡°I¡¯m a little thirsty.. Can you invite me up for a ss of water?¡± Chapter 206 - 206: Testing Each Other Chapter 206: Testing Each Other Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was about to speak when Jiang Yanshen beat her to it. ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Qingqian walked in front with the two men behind. She opened the door and entered the house. She changed her shoes first and turned around to see Jiang Yanshen taking out a new pair of men¡¯s slippers from the shoe cab. He turned around to look at Han Liubai and said in a calm voice, ¡°There are no extra slippers at home. Mr. Han, you don¡¯t have to change. Come in.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s lips curled up slightly, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slippers. When did he put them in? They were clearly not there when he left this morning. Jiang Yanshen changed into his slippers. Seeing that she was still looking at him, his thin lips curled up. ¡°What are you standing there for? Go and pour water for the guest.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and turned to walk into the kitchen to boil water. Jiang Yanshen invited Han Liubai to sit in the living room as if the house was his. As Lin Qingqian boiled the water, she secretly sized up the two men sitting in the living room through the ss door. She felt that something was wrong. Han Liubai saw from the corner of his eye that the kitchen door was closed. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°I heard that Director Jiang spent 8 million yuan to buy my design. What a waste.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, and he didn¡¯t even frown. He also lowered his voice so that the woman in the kitchen wouldn¡¯t hear him. ¡°As long as Qianqian is happy.¡± When he heard from Lu Qinshang that Qianqian liked a piece of clothing, he sent someone to bid for it. He didn¡¯t expect it to be Han Liubai¡¯s design! Although his first reaction was to burn it, in the end, he didn¡¯t want to make her unhappy and kept it. The smile on Han Liubai¡¯s face deepened as he said provocatively, ¡°Director Jiang, do you want to attack White?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold as he clenched his fists uncontrobly. Anger surged in his heart, but he held it in and suppressed it. He couldn¡¯t re up or attack Han Liubai. Qianqian would be angry. Alter me aworce, he knew very well mat Lin umgn¡¯s personality was soft-hearted. When Han Liubai saw him trying his best to control his emotions, his eyes were filled with disdain. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, a person like you should die alone. Lin Qingqian is a good girl. You shouldn¡¯t drag her down with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen closed his ck eyes gently and opened them in an instant. The surging anger in his eyes disappearedpletely. ¡°What right does a person who doesn¡¯t even dare to tell her his true identity, have, to say these things to me?¡± The smile on Han Liubai¡¯s lips gradually darkened. The gentleness in his eyes had long turned into a cold knife light. ¡°Then do you dare to tell her who I am?¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips tightly and didn¡¯t say anything. He also didn¡¯t dare to tell Lin Qingqian about Han Liubai¡¯s true identity. Just as Han Liubai was about to speak, from the corner of his eye, he saw a movement and heard the sound of the ss door sliding and swallowed his words. Lin Qingqian walked over with two cups of tea. She handed one to Xiao Bai and the other to Jiang Yanshen. Just as her outstretched hand was about to fall, Jiang Yanshen grabbed it. When she lowered her head, she heard a low voice. ¡°Mr. Han sent you back out of kindness. Aren¡¯t you going to ask him to stay for dinner?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. If not for Han Liubai being present, she would have asked Jiang Yanshen if he was sick. Han Liubai picked up the teacup and blew on it gently. He took a sip and said with a faint smile, ¡°You¡¯re wee. A gentleman surnamed Li came to thepany today to threaten President Lin. I was worried, so I sent her back.¡± Lin Qingqian tried to hint at Xiao Bai with her gaze to not say anything, but it was toote¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fingertips tightened involuntarily, and his voice was tense. Han Liubai didn¡¯t speak. He lowered his head and drank his tea, an imperceptible smile on his lips.. Chapter 207 - 207: Xiao Jiu Doesn I t Wet the Bed Or Kick the Blanket Chapter 207: Xiao Jiu Doesn I t Wet the Bed Or Kick the nket Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian felt a chill down her spine, but she couldn¡¯t me Han Liubai. She said softly, ¡°Li Ruzhu¡¯s father came to look for me this afternoon.¡± The reason for looking for her was self-evident. Jiang Yanshen knew what kind of person Li Dashun was. He was the same kind of person as Li Gun. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have maintained that dirty rtionship all year round. ¡°Excuse me for a moment.¡± He let go of Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and stood up to walk to the bedroom. A trace of worry shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes as she looked at his back. Han Liubai put down his teacup, his clear eyes filled with apology. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, did I cause you trouble? I just thought that since he¡¯s your boyfriend, he should protect you.¡± Lin Qingqian retracted her gaze and shook her head. ¡°No, it¡¯s not your fault.¡± Han Liubai stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Lin Qingqian sent him to the door. When she turned around and saw that the bedroom door was still closed, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. When dinner was ready, Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa and looked at the pots of vegetables on the balcony with a thoughtful expression. Lin Qingqian walked over and called out to him, ¡°Have dinner.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as he looked at her silently. Lin Qingqian realized something and exined softly, ¡°I didn¡¯t want to hide it from you, but I didn¡¯t have the time to tell you.¡± ¡°In the past, you would call me if anything happened.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was filled with jealousy. But now, there was another man protecting her. How could he be in a good mood? Lin Qingqian¡¯s chest tightened, and her voice was low. ¡°You also said that you were very busy and asked me not to disturb your work.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® If he had a time machine, Jiang Yanshen really wanted to go back in time and shut his mouth. ¡°A person like Li Dashun is at most threatening me. He won¡¯t dare to do anything to me.¡± She didn¡¯t want to mention the past and make the two of them unhappy, so she changed the topic. Jiang Yanshen pulled her wrist and let her sit beside him. His voice was cold. ¡°If he dares to do anything, I¡¯ll kill him!¡± Lin Qingqian broke out in cold sweat from his words. Her fingers grabbed his arm and she said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t mess around. If he dares to do anything, thew will naturally punish him.¡± Seeing her serious expression, as if she thought that he would really kill someone, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°Qianqian, are you afraid that I¡¯ll go to jail?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What else? Could it be that I can¡¯t wait for my boyfriend to break thew?¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned. When he heard the words ¡°boyfriend¡±, his heart softened inexplicably. He felt like he had been recognized. His cold white fingers caressed her cheek, and his palm was warm against her skin. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Qianqian, may I kiss you?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused, and her face immediately turned red. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you agree!¡± Before Lin Qingqian could react, her lips were pressed against his dry lips. Even after dinner and lying on the sofa after taking a shower, Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was still burning. Jiang Yanshen kissed her for half an hour, making her mouth go numb. In the past, when she was with Jiang Yanshen, he always looked cold. It was different now. Now, they were like a normal couple, ordinary and warm. When Lin Qingqian thought of his dark face when she asked him to water the vegetables, she couldn¡¯t help but want tough. She pulled the nket over her head and fell asleep with a smile. In her half-asleep state, she saw a person squatting beside the sofa in a daze and almost cried out in fright. She reached out and turned on the floormp. She turned to look at the man squatting in front of her. ¡°Are you trying to scare me to death?¡± Jiang Yanshen squatted on the ground with his elbows on his knees and his hands on his cheeks. His clear eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°Big Sister, why am I here?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned and didn¡¯te back to her senses for a long time. Jiang Yanshen put down his hands andy on the sofa, looking up at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Big Sister, the bed in the room is too big. I¡¯m afraid of sleeping alone. ¡± ¡°Jiang, Xiao Jiu?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and spoke carefully. Jiang Xiao Jiu smiled and said happily, ¡°Big Sister, you still remember me!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® She suddenly wanted to take back the words ¡°normal boyfriend and girlfriend¡± she¡¯d said before bed. After all, other people¡¯s boyfriends wouldn¡¯t change into another personality when they fell asleep, and be a nine years old boy. ¡°This is my house, you don¡¯t have to be afraid! ¡± Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand and patted his back as if she wasforting a child. Jiang Xiao Jiu turned around and looked around. He said in a soft voice, ¡°Big Sister, your house is so small. Why don¡¯t youe with me to stay at my house!¡± His clear eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at her. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°Big Sister won¡¯t live in your house. Can you live in my house in the future?¡± ¡°Will Big Sister hit me?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu asked. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know why he asked this and shook her head. ¡°Big Sister won¡¯t hit you, Big Sister will make delicious food for you.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll live with Big Sister.¡± He smiled brightly and immediately held her wrist. ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m afraid. Can you sleep with me?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m very obedient. I¡¯m nine years old now. I don¡¯t wet the bed or kick the nket.¡± He looked serious. Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® They clearly had the same face, but their personalities werepletely different. Even their gazes were different. Facing such clear and clean eyes, it was really difficult for Lin Qingqian to reject Jiang Xiao Jiu the way she rejected Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Big Sister¡ªI¡® Perhaps it was because she was unwilling to speak for a long time, Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s face slowly drooped. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll sleep with you.¡± Lin Qingqian admitted defeat. When facing Jiang Yanshen, she still had a trace of resistance, but when facing Jiang Xiao Jiu¡­ it was really too difficult to resist. ¡°Big Sister is so nice.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu jumped up happily and grabbed her pillow to his chest. ¡°I¡¯ll help Big Sister get the pillow. Big Sister,e quickly.¡± With that, he jogged back to the room. Lin Qingqian looked at his back and couldn¡¯t help but wonder what the nine-year-old Jiang Yanshen looked like. Would he be like Jiang Xiao Jiu, innocent, cheerful, and cute? Lin Qingqian walked into the bedroom. Jiang Xiao Jiu was already lying on one side of the bed, leaving half of the bed empty. Seeing here in, he patted the empty space beside him happily. ¡°Big Sister,e quickly¡­¡± Lin Qingqian walked to the bed andy down. When she turned her head, she saw him looking at her with wide eyes. His bright eyes were so clean that there was not a trace of dust. ¡°Go to sleep.¡± She pulled the nket over him. Jiang Xiao Jiu smiled and said, ¡°Big Sister, you¡¯re really good-looking.¡± Girls mostly liked to be praised for being beautiful. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curved. ¡°How many people have you seen? Do you know what beauty is?¡± ¡°I know!¡± Perhaps it was because he was hot, hey on the bed, his long legs swaying in the air. He said innocently, ¡°My mother isn¡¯t beautiful. Also, the woman who always stays at my house isn¡¯t beautiful. Big Sister Shen is beautiful, but she always forces me to take medicine. Big Sister is still the most beautiful.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s because I didn¡¯t force you to take the medicine that I¡¯m beautiful.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Jiang Xiao Jiu smiled in embarrassment andy on the pillow, looking at her witn ms starry eyes. ¡°Big sister, you¡¯re so mce. 1 11Ke you.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. He asked again, ¡°Big Sister, do you like me?¡± ¡°Xiao Jiu is so obedient, of course I like you,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡°Then can Big Sister always be with Xiao Jiu?¡± His wide eyes were filled with beautiful expectations. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. The word ¡°forever¡± was too strong. Moreover, he was only a personality that Jiang Yanshen had split off. He might disappear one day. ¡°Is it okay?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu reached out and shook her arm, asking repeatedly like a spoiled child. Lin Qingqian had no choice but to agree and tell him to sleep quickly. After seeding, Jiang Xiao Jiu revealed a bright smile and grabbed her arm tightly. ¡°Big Sister, you can¡¯t go back on your word. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he couldn¡¯t help but yawn. He closed his eyes and fell asleep the next second. Lin Qingqian carefully pried open his fingers and ced them under the nket. She tiptoed out of bed and walked towards the living room. Outside the window, the crescent moon hung high, and a few scattered dots of light blinked on the ck night sky. Lin Qingqian walked to the balcony and pulled the ss door closed before calling Shen Zhiwei. After hearing Lin Qingqian¡¯s words, Shen Zhiwei arrived at the apartment 20 minutester. Lin Qingqian opened the door for her and lowered her voice. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you to make a trip sote at night.¡± Shen Zhiwei revealed an intellectual smile. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Special Assistant Lu wille and settle the bill with me tomorrow.¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds and didn¡¯t reply. She brought her to the bedroom. There was only a sleepingmp lit in the bedroom. The light was dim, and she could barely see the man sleeping soundly on the bed. He was like a heartless big boy. Shen Zhiwei took out a syringe from her handbag and skillfully injected it into his vein. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with faint worry, but she didn¡¯t say anything. Shen Zhi nced at her and ced the syringe back in her handbag. She said softly, ¡®Miss Lin, don¡¯t worry. This medicine isn¡¯t harmful to Director Jiang¡¯s body. It¡¯s just a suppressant for his split personality.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled as she thought to herself, ¡°She¡¯s indeed studying psychology. She¡¯s too good at reading people¡¯s minds.¡± ¡°Will it be Jiang Yanshen who wakes up tomorrow?¡± Shen Zhiwei picked up her bag and looked up at her with a smile. ¡°Xiao Jiu is very obedient. He¡¯ll be quiet for a long time aftering out to y.¡± After a pause, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Miss Lin, forgive me for saying too much, but Director Jiang¡¯s situation is very special. He has both bipr disorder and a split personality, so try not to agitate him.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°You mean that as long as he¡¯s agitated, he¡¯ll either have bipr reactions or Jiang Xiao Jiu wille out?¡± Shen Zhi nodded slightly. ¡°You can understand it that way.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sleeping face, her eyes filled with faint worry. ¡°Is there no way to treat it?¡± ¡°Director Jiang has controlled his bipr disorder very well over the years. It¡¯s not impossible for him to recover. As for his split personality¡­¡± Shen Zhiwei paused and didn¡¯t continue. Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡®What¡¯s wrong with having a split personality? Is there no way to eliminate¡­ him?¡± When she said thest sentence, her voice became inexplicably hoarse. She even felt a chill run down her spine. She even felt that she was a cruel murderer.. Chapter 208 - 208: Kiss Me Chapter 208: Kiss Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Shen Zhi¡¯s thin eyshes quickly trembled. She narrowed her eyes and said, ¡°Miss Lin, it¡¯s not impossible to eliminate personality dissociation. It¡¯s just that Director Jiang¡¯s situation is special.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her and didn¡¯t say anything, quietly listening to her continue. ¡°Generally speaking, as long as a person with split personalities listens to the doctor¡¯s instructions and receives psychological treatment and takes their medicine on time, they will naturally be able to eliminate the other personality after a long time. Although there¡¯s a possibility of it happening again, the probability is not high. Director Jiang has only been suppressing it with medicine and his emotions are unstable. Even if he¡¯s cured, it¡¯s very difficult for him to not rpse. At that time, no one can guarantee what his new split personality will be like.¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath and felt the blood in her body turn cold. ¡°You mean¡­ he refuses to undergo psychiatric treatment?¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded gently. ¡°Although I¡¯m a psychiatrist, I have to respect the patient¡¯s wishes. I can¡¯t forcefully interfere.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze became even moreplicated and obscure. What exactly happened to make him so persistent that he refused to ept psychological treatment and destroy his split personality? Shen Zhiwei turned to go back. After Lin Qingqian sent her to the door, she turned around and returned to her room. She pulled the nket over him and sat down gently by the bed. Her gaze was filled with heartache. ¡°What else are you hiding from me that you can¡¯t let me know?¡± The next day, Jiang Yanshen woke up and felt a familiar headache. He turned his head to look at his arm. There was an obvious needle mark on his arm under his rolled-up sleeve. His eyes darkened as he realized something. When he got up and walked out of the room, he saw Lin Qingqian bringing breakfast to the dining table. Seeing that he had woken up, Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°You¡¯re awake? Go wash up and eat breakfast.¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t see anything unusual on her in face. His throat bobbed a few times, and in the end, he went to the washroom to wash up without saying a word. When he came out, Lin Qingqian had already changed her clothes and was sitting at the dining table. She ced a boiled egg in front of him. ¡°Eat it.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat tightened. He stared at her with his deep eyes and his voice rang out, ¡°I¡¯m not him.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What does letting you eat eggs have to do with who you Jiang Yanshen looked at her without saying anything. Lin Qingqian picked up the egg and knocked it against his head. The eggshell cracked and he frowned in pain, looking at her strangely. ¡°In the future, you have to eat an egg every day to replenish your nutrition.¡± Her slender and fair fingers skillfully peeled the egg and ced it on the te in front of him. She said, ¡°Western food is not nutritious. I¡¯ll make you Chinese food in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze moved away from her face andnded on the peeled egg. His throat moved. ¡°I¡¯d better move back.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard this, she didn¡¯t ask for the reason or stop him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make it and send it to you every day.¡± ¡°Qianqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was calm. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips parted slightly. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to see him.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I know!¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°But if you¡¯re unwilling to undergo psychiatric treatment, he¡¯s destined to be sandwiched between the two of us, right?¡± Jiang Yan took a deep breath. ¡°Or are you nning to find a ce to hide as soon as hees out and not see me for half a month?¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips into a straight line, his face tense as he remained silent. Lin Qingqian put down the spoon in her hand and looked at him with a gentle gaze. She said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t want to open my eyes one day and see someone with the same face as you but who¡¯s not you. However, I can¡¯t help you and influence your decision.¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and his breathing quickened slightly. He stretched out his long arm and carried her from the stool into his arms, hugging her tightly. His exquisite facial features were buried in her neck. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you. It¡¯s just¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender hand wrapped around his neck gently, her fingers touching his soft hair. There was no emotion in her clear voice. ¡°I¡¯m not angry, and I don¡¯t me you. If you don¡¯t want to tell me, you naturally have your difficulties. I won¡¯t force you.¡± After Imowing his situation, Lin Qingqian had long understood that this man must be bearing some heavy burden that she didn¡¯t know about. She was already 25 years old, not 17 or 18 years old. When she was in a rtionship, she had to know everything and get to the bottom of everything. Her mature thoughts made her understand and respect Jiang Yanshen¡¯s choice. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and only hugged her tightly, greedily absorbing the warmth of her body. Lin Qingqian patted his back. ¡°Alright, eat breakfast.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her face. After confirming that she wasn¡¯t angry, his throat moved slightly and his voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Kiss me!¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She reacted and lowered her head to peck his thin lips swiftly. ¡°Hurry up and eat.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s furrowed brows rxed. ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the office.¡± Lin Qingqian buried her head in her porridge and hummed with a red face. Jiang Yanshen drove her to the entrance of thepany and leaned over to help her unbuckle her seatbelt. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡± Lin Qingqian met his warm gaze and her heart couldn¡¯t help but burn. Her red lips curled into a smile as she said softly, ¡°Okay.¡± She pushed the door open and got out of the car. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were fixed on her back until she entered thepany before he retracted his gaze reluctantly. Not far away, two men in ck suits walked over and said respectfully, ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen sized them up and said coldly, ¡°Protect her well. There¡¯s no need to disturb her.¡± The bodyguards nodded and bowed respectfully. Jiang Yanshen nced at the entrance of thepany again before starting the engine and speeding away. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take the matter to heart and focused on her work. At noon, Suisui ran over eagerly and handed her the small cake in her hand as Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. Don¡¯t do this. ¡± Suisui pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°Lu Qinshang¡¯s manager called me. He said that Lu Qinshang is going to film a show tomorrow and wants me to apply his makeup.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°So?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve originally arranged to apply makeup for Li Wenwen tomorrow.¡± Suisui pressed her palms together. ¡°Can you ask the other colleagues to cover me? At most, I¡¯ll give all the makeup fees from Lu Qinshang to thepany. I don¡¯t want a single cent. Please!¡± ¡°You¡¯re really loyal to Lu Qinshang and are selfless!¡± ¡°Qianqian!¡± Suisui walked to her side and shook her hand. ¡°Just help me this once!!¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want her to shake her arm off and hurriedly agreed. ¡°I¡¯ll make arrangements for Li Wenwen¡¯s matter.¡± Suisui immediately smiled. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re the best! I love you!¡± She made a pen wick. Lin Qingqian red at her. ¡°Go back to work.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Having achieved her goal, Suisui immediately slipped away. As soon as she left, Han Liubai entered. ¡°What happened? Suisui looks very happy! ¡± ¡°She¡¯s going to do Lu Qinshang¡¯s makeup tomorrow!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and shook her head helplessly. She really couldn¡¯t do anything to this girl who chased after celebrities. Han Liubai: ¡°Then what about Li Wenwen? I just saw that the other makeup artists¡¯ schedule are also full.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the work chart. Indeed, the schedule for this week was all filled. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to do it myself.¡± Surprise shed across Han Liubai¡¯s eyes. ¡°You know how to do it too?¡± ¡°I took this subject as an elective course in university. It doesn¡¯t hurt to have more skills in our line of work.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. Han Liubai nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s go together tomorrow. Coincidentally, Sheng Yan is also participating in that event.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded happily. After work at night, Jiang Yanshen came to pick her up on time. On the way, Lin Qingqian told him that she was going out for an event tomorrow and that he didn¡¯t have to pick her up. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and agreed. The next day, Han Liubai drove over to pick up Lin Qingqian and they went to the event location together. This was a public service campaign to help autistic people. Lin Qingqian chose a pair of dark blue pants for Li Wenwen, paired with a white cartoon T-shirt and a ck baseball cap. Her makeup was very light, and it mainly protected her from the sun. The thing that female celebrities were most afraid of when they participated in outdoor activities was being exposed to the sun. Lin Qingqian could be considered to have protected herpletely. Li Wenwen was very satisfied and was not picky at all. On the other hand, Sheng Yan was very dissatisfied with Han Liubai¡¯s style and refused to get out of the makeup van. The reason was that Sheng Yan wanted to look handsome, but he didn¡¯t want his hairstyle to be affected by the hat. Han Liubai was also helpless. Lin Qingqian went to Sheng Yan¡¯s van tomunicate with him. Sheng Yan was also very resistant and chased her out of the van without saying a word. The organizer of the event was also in a difficult position. The event was about to begin, and if Sheng Yan didn¡¯te out, wouldn¡¯t it dy the entire process? The person-in-charge came to look for Lin Qingqian again and asked her to think of a solution. Lin Qingqian¡¯s tone was calm. ¡°Forgive me for being useless.¡± Others might not know, but she could tell that Sheng Yan didn¡¯t want to participate in this activity at all. He didn¡¯t get any remuneration for this and yet had to stay under the sun for most of the day. Naturally, he found an excuse not to get out of the van. Even if he decided to reject this event, the organizer and the managementpany would only make an announcement that he wasn¡¯t feeling well. Not only would he not be scolded, but his fans would even feel heartache for him. When the person-in-charge heard that she was helpless, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After Lin Qingqian finished her work and was about to leave with Han Liubai, she suddenly saw a familiar face from the corner of her eye and stopped in her tracks. Han Liubai followed her gaze and looked at the crowd, but he didn¡¯t see anything unusual. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t answer. She turned around and looked for the person in charge. ¡°If Sheng Yan won¡¯te out, can we look for other male celebrities?¡± The person-in-charge was stunned. ¡°The event is about to begin. Where can you find a male celebrity to rece him?¡± Lin Qingqian pointed at therge man in the crowd. ¡°Isn¡¯t there one right here?¡± The person-in-charge took a closer look and shook his head. ¡°No! Ren Guangxi¡¯s poprity has dropped after his rtionship was exposed. Letting him go on stage won¡¯t bring us any benefit at all.¡± Sheng Yan and Li Wenwen were invited to this charity event because of their recent poprity. They wanted to borrow their fame to attract more attention to the autistic children. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm as she said unhurriedly, ¡°What if I¡¯m willing to donate 8 million?¡± The person-in-charge was immediately dumbfounded. ¡°What?¡± Even Han Liubai looked at her in confusion. ¡°I¡¯ll donate 8 million yuan to these children, and you¡¯ll let Ren Guangxi participate in this event.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the bare-faced Ren Guangxi in the distance, her red lips curving. ¡°He only admitted to a rtionship. It¡¯s not against thew.. He has the heart to do charity, so why can¡¯t you give him a chance?¡± Chapter 209 - 209: Sulfuric Acid Chapter 209: Sulfuric Acid Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The person-in-charge looked down on Ren Guangxi, who was no longer popr, but it was really difficult not to be tempted by the 8 million yuan donation. In addition, Sheng Yan was not cooperating at thest minute. He simply agreed and asked someone to call Ren Guangxi over. Ren Guangxi was wearing a white cartoon t-shirt, water-washed jeans, and a baseball cap. He didn¡¯t wear any makeup and looked like a big brother from next door. When he heard the person-in-charge ask him to go on stage, he couldn¡¯t help but look surprised. The person-in-charge didn¡¯t hide it from him. He told him the whole story, indicating that there was no remuneration for this charity event. Ren Guangxi hesitated for a moment before agreeing. The person in charge asked someone to find a set of clothes for him to change into. Lin Qingqian said indifferently, ¡°There¡¯s no need. It¡¯s quite good for him to go on stage like this.¡± The person-in-charge didn¡¯t say anything when he heard this. In any case, Li Wenwen would definitely be the main attraction. Ren Guangxi was just there to pad the numbers. The event was about to begin. The person-in-charge had to go and take a look at the other procedures and left for a while. Ren Guangxi looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°You¡¯re the designer who¡¯s been popr recently?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s officially get to know each other. I¡¯m the person-in-charge of Shi Guang Studio, Lin Qingqian. This is ourpany¡¯s stylist, Han Liubai.¡± Han Liubai nodded and greeted him. Ren Guangxi stared at her motionlessly, vaguely vignt. ¡°Why are you helping me?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and replied in a calm tone, ¡°I¡¯ve be a follower of Buddha recently and want to do more good deeds to umte karma.¡± Ren Guangxi: ¡® Seeing that the young man was not hiding his emotions at all, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Alright, the event is about to begin. Go quickly.¡± Although Ren Guangxi didn¡¯t know why she was helping him, seeing that she did not raise any other conditions, he bowed and thanked her before turning to walk onto the stage. Han Liubai looked down at her. ¡°You¡¯re a Buddhist now?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°I wasn¡¯t in the past, but now¡­ there¡¯s no harm in trying it out.¡± Han Liubai didn¡¯t reply. He stared at her gently and quietly. He had a feeling that she didn¡¯t say the real reason. Sheng Yan waited in the van for a long time, but Lin Qingqian and the person-in-charge didn¡¯te over. He asked the manager to investigate the situation. After a while, the manager returned and said that the organizers had found Ren Guangxi to rece him. Sheng Yan¡¯s expression immediately turned ugly. Then, he instructed the chauffeur to drive him back to thepany. From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian watched as Sheng Yan¡¯s huge van drove away. A trace of coldness shed across her calm eyes. The event officially began. The emcee introduced Li Wenwen and Ren Guangxi to the stage. The fans who were originally waiting for Sheng Yan to go on stage immediately exploded and shouted for him. The scene fell into awkwardness. Ren Guangxi stood on the stage expressionlessly facing Sheng Yan¡¯s fans. On the other hand, Li Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but raise her slender eyebrows, her eyes revealing a trace of disgust. Fortunately, they had hired many security guards in advance to maintain order. Soon, the situation was under control. When Sheng Yan¡¯s fans were chased away, the event proceeded normally. The event organizers had invited media reporters for publicity, and the reporters were mainly here for Li Wenwen. Even though Ren Guangxi stood beside her on stage, not many people took photos of him. After all, he had already been canceled. Many fans had left the fandom and there was no topic to talk about at all. Naturally, no one would waste time on him. Ren Guangxi seemed to be used to it long ago. Regardless of whether anyone was filming him, he focused on interacting with the autistic children and tried to approach their world. Lin Qingqian went to the donation office to donate 8 million yuan and nned to leave. There were many people at the event location. Lin Qingqian had to pass through the crowd to go out and get to the car. When she was finally about to walk out of the crowd, she looked up and saw a man wearing a baseball cap and a ck mask walking over. The man only revealed his eyes, which were filled with ruthlessness. Lin Qingqian subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Before she could react, the man suddenly took out a transparent bottle from his arms and sshed it at Lin Qingqian¡­ ¡°Go to hell, f*cking b*tch!¡± ¡°Be careful!¡± Suddenly, a figure blocked in front of her. The liquid sshed on his back and immediately corroded his clothes and skin. Lin Qingqian was stunned, surprise appearing in her eyes. ¡°Xiao Bai¡­¡± Han Liubai hugged her in front of him with his long arms and protected her tightly. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s fine¡­¡± The event location was instantly in chaos. There were also people near Lin Qingqian who were sshed and screamed miserably. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened when she saw the pale face of the person beside her. ¡°It¡¯s sulfuric acid¡­¡± The nearby security guards quickly rushed over and stopped the perpetrator. Han Liubai¡¯s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His face was covered in sweat and he couldn¡¯t even stand steadily. Lin Qingqian supported him and shouted, ¡°Ambnce, call an ambnce!!¡± On the stage, Li Wenwen and Ren Guangxi didn¡¯t know what had happened and looked at her with concern from afar. The ambnce arrived very quickly and brought them to the nearest hospital. When the medical staff took over, Han Liubai had already fallen unconscious. Lin Qingqian had exined that he had a history of heart disease. The nurse pushed him into the emergency room. Lin Qingqian stood rooted to the ground, her hands trembling. She kept recalling the scene in the ambnce. She wanted to see how injured he was, but Han Liubai reached out and covered her eyes, not letting her look. Even now, her eyes seemed to still have the coldness of his fingertips. Jiang Yanshen quickly received the news and rushed to the hospital. When he saw Lin Qingqian standing safely at the door of the emergency room, the gloominess in his eyes finally dissipated a little. Lin Qingqian felt his gaze stop on her. She turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s frenzied look. His eyes were filled with anxiety and worry that couldn¡¯t be hidden. Jiang Yanshen strode in front of her and hugged her. His slender arms tightened like vines, as if he wanted to squeeze her into his bones and merge her with his blood. He lowered his head and his lipsnded on the center of her hair. His voice was hoarse. ¡°You scared me.¡± Although Lin Qingqian had calmed down and her mind was no longer chaotic, she still felt lingering fear. She hugged his waist and said, ¡°I was also frightened. It was Xiao Bai who saved me. Otherwise, the person lying inside would be me.¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard this, his arms rxed a little. He looked up at the emergency room. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up. ¡°By the way, how did you know that something had happened to me? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression changed slightly. He pursed his lips and didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian guessed, ¡°You sent someone to follow me.¡± ¡°Not follow. It¡¯s a protection.¡± They hadn¡¯t protected her properly, so they were fired. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t dwell on this problem. What she was most worried about now was Xiao Bai¡¯s situation. Seeing that she was not angry, Jiang Yanshen changed the topic. ¡°What happened?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not sure either. A man suddenly walked over and wanted to pour sulfuric acid on my face. He was detained on the spot and should be at the police station now.¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard the word ¡°sulfuric acid¡±, his face instantly darkened, and coldness seeped out of his eyes. ¡°Wait for me.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and watched as he took out his phone to make a call. ¡°Check if there¡¯s a case involving sulfuric acid sshed today. Find the location of the attacker and tell me when you find out.¡± With that, he hung up the call, not giving the other party a chance to speak Lin Qingqian: ¡°You asked Gu Xici to check?¡± ¡°He has a lot of connections in the police station. Some of them are in criminal investigation, so most of them will give him face.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice was tense as his well-defined fingers held her hand. He realized that her fingertips were very cold, and his heart ached. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. No matter who it is, I¡¯ll find them.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°Could it be Li Dashun?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied in a low voice. Under her puzzled gaze, he exined patiently, ¡°Lu Yuan has sent someone to keep an eye on him. He¡¯s been busy recently trying to fish his daughter out of jail, so he shouldn¡¯t be able to focus on dealing with you.¡± Lin Qingqian thought that it made sense. If Li Dashun dealt with her directly like this, wasn¡¯t he afraid ofpletely angering Jiang Yanshen? ¡°Leave these things to me, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen touched her cheek. Lin Qingqian nodded. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s phone suddenly received a new WeChat notification. He nced at the message and saw that it was from Gu Xici. Lin Qingqian guessed it intelligently. ¡°You¡¯re going to the police station?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°You want to go with me?¡± Compared to her guarding another man at the door of the emergency room, he naturally hoped that she would go with him. Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds before saying, ¡®You go first. I¡¯ll look for you after Xiao Bai is out of surgery and I confirm that he¡¯s fine.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes darkened, but he didn¡¯t show it. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll leave Lu Yuan here for you to use.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Lu Yuan, who was standing not far away, and didn¡¯t reject his good intentions. She told him to be careful. Jiang Yanshen turned around without letting go. Their fingertips intertwined as he turned to look at her. His throat moved. With a thought, he turned around and nted a kiss on her forehead before letting go and leaving inrge strides. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped and her curly eyshes trembled. She raised her hand to touch the hot spot on her forehead and bit her pink lips with her white teeth. The door of the surgery room suddenly opened. She snapped out of her daze and saw the doctor walking out. She immediately went forward and asked, ¡°Doctor. how¡¯s mv friend?¡± The doctor took off his mask and took a deep breath before answering, ¡°The patient¡¯s life is not in danger for the time being. He has been transferred to the ward.¡± Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief and asked, ¡°Then his back¡­¡¯ The doctor understood what she meant. ¡°I¡¯m sure you know about the corrosive nature of sulfuric acid. It¡¯s already a blessing that his life isn¡¯t in danger. There will definitely be scars in the future. Fortunately, it¡¯ll usually not be visible since it¡¯s on his back.¡± Thinking of how such a gentle man would carry a scar on his back, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but feel regretful and sad. In the television station¡¯s lounge. Lu Qinshang sat in front of the mirror and looked at the girl who was putting on makeup for him. Her round face was like a small apple, and her curly eyshes were like butterfly wings pping. ¡°Um¡­¡± Just as he opened his mouth, Suisui immediately stopped and said nervously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s wrong? Did I spill the powder in your eyes?¡± ¡°No.¡± Seeing her nervous appearance, Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°I just want to ask, can I have some water?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± After Suisui answered, she immediately took out a bottle of imported brand mineral water from her bag. ¡°Your favorite brand.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s heart skipped a beat. This fan was really cute and considerate. ¡°Big Brother, are you hungry? Do you want some fruit?¡± Suisui stood at the side and looked at him with starry eyes. Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. ¡°1 can eat fruits?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Suisui took out a pink Tupperware box from her bag. Neatly arranged inside the fresh-keeping box were clean cherry tomatoes, strawberries, cherries, and peeled mangosteens. It made Lu Qinshang¡¯s eyes widen in amazement. ¡°They¡¯re all my favorites!!!¡± Chapter 210 - 210: Fortunately, It’s Not You Chapter 210: Fortunately, It¡¯s Not You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions There was a disposable transparent fork in the Tupperware container. Lu Qinshang immediately tasted the strawberry and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. ¡°It¡¯s sweet!! It¡¯s too delicious!¡± When Suisui saw that her idol was happy, she was also happy. It was not in vain that she had guarded the fruit market early in the morning and snatched the freshest imported fruits!! Lu Qinshang took another bite of the cherry. It was so sweet that his heart was about to melt. He didn¡¯t forget to praise her. ¡°Little cutie, you¡¯re too considerate!¡± Suisui was a little embarrassed by the praise. ¡°It¡¯s my mission to take good care of Big Brother!¡± Because he was eating, the makeup session was paused for the time being. As Lu Qinshang ate the fruits, he asked casually, ¡°You and Lin Qingqian are good friends, right?¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°What a coincidence!¡± Lu Qinshang pursed his lips and smiled. ¡°Jiang Yanshen and I are also friends.¡± ¡°Our Ah Yan looks so cold and unromantic usually. Actually, he¡¯s quite a good person,¡± Lu Qinshang said slowly as he ate his fruits. ¡°Big Brother, why are you telling me about him?¡± Suisui was puzzled. She didn¡¯t chase after Jiang Yanshen. Whether he¡¯s a good or bad person had nothing to do with her. Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. Didn¡¯t the little girl understand? He put down his fork and turned his chair. He slid in front of Suisui and ced his hands on the wall behind her. Suisui¡¯s breathing stopped and she was stunned. Was she¡­ pinned against the wall by her idol? Kabedon! Kabedon! THUD! In her excitement, she turned around and mmed her head against the wall, crying out in pain. Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t understand what she was doing and was stunned. It was only when the little girl¡¯s eyes were filled with tears of pain that he hurriedly got up and pressed her onto the chair. ¡°What are you so excited about?¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Let me see if it¡¯s swollen?¡± Lu Qinshang removed her hand from her forehead and looked down at her fair and smooth forehead carefully. Her skin was a little red, but it wasn¡¯t swollen. He lowered his head closer, and his warm breath sprayed on her face like a heat wave. Her face immediately turned red. Suisui blinked. He was so close that she could count his eyshes. Ah, ah, ah, ah, Mama, f*cking hell!! After checking her forehead and confirming that she was fine, Lu Qinshang suddenly stopped and was about to straighten his back, when he stared at her without blinking. Suisui¡¯s heart raced under his gaze. She pursed her lips. ¡°What, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Qinshang pointed at her nose. ¡°You¡­ have a nosebleed.¡± Suisui was stunned for a few seconds. Then, she screamed and hurriedly turned around to wipe her nosebleed!! The chair turned unexpectedly. Lu Qinshang had ced his hand on the armrest and almost fell to the ground. Suisui used her hand to wipe the blood from her nose. In the end, she looked even more miserable. She would definitely crawl into the ground if there was a gap now. It was too embarrassing. Boohoo¡­ She slowly turned her head and met Lu Qinshang¡¯s faint smile. She hurriedly exined, ¡°Big Brother, it¡¯s not what you think. I¡¯m just¡­ heaty¡­ Yes, I¡¯m heaty¡­¡¯ I¡¯m not fantasizing about you or what it feels like to kiss your lips in my mind. Seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, Lu Qinshang¡¯s voice carried a hint of resignation. He had originally wanted to tease her, but he¡¯d lost interest in even that now. ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± He pulled out two wet wipes and bent down to wipe the blood from her nose. How could Suisui dare to let her idol personally wipe her nosebleed? She wanted to take the wet wipes and do it herself. Lu Qinshang avoided her hand and pinched her chin with his slender fingers. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Suisui immediately didn¡¯t dare to move. Suisui blinked and didn¡¯t say anything, but she was already wailing a million times in her heart. Boohoo¡­ Big Brother is so gentle! Mama, I¡¯m dead again!! After Lu Qinshang wiped the blood from under her nose, he took another wet wipe and cleaned the blood off her hand. Suisui looked down and saw his hand holding hers. The first thought that appeared in her mind was: Can I go to the hospital to amputate my limbs and make this hand into a specimen? After Lu Qinshang wiped the blood off her face, he threw the wet wipes into the trash can. ¡°Alright, the weather is hot. Remember to eat more fruits and drink more water.¡± Suisui nodded and said with a red face, ¡°Thank you, Big Brother.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Lu Qinshang smiled. ¡°I just have a favor to ask of you!¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Suisui looked up at him with her sparkling eyes. ¡°Big Brother, tell me. No matter what it is, I¡¯ll help youplete it even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or go through a sea of fire.¡± Lu Qinshang was amused by her. ¡°It¡¯s not that serious. I just want you not to hate Ah Yan. Ah Yan is my good brother. I don¡¯t want my fans to hate my brother. My Maple Leafs are the most sensible and obedient, right?¡± As Lin Qingqian¡¯s good sister, Suisui wanted to scold Jiang Yanshen for being a dog of a man, but as her Big Brother¡¯s Maple Leaf¡­ Qianqian, I¡¯m sorry. I betrayed you!! Suisui nodded without hesitation. ¡°I promise Big Brother that I won¡¯t speak ill of Jiang Yanshen in front of Qianqian anymore!¡± When Lu Qinshang heard her words, he felt that his mission waspleted. The smile on his face deepened. ¡°Thank you! Alright, I¡¯ll go change first. You rest for a while.¡± Suisui nodded and watched him walk into the changing room. Then, she couldn¡¯t help but cover her face and stomp her feet happily. Lu Qinshang, who had closed the door, saw her happy expression through thest gap. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh at his charm. The light in his phoenix eyes became even more viscous. When Lu Qinshang came out after changing, Suisui had already calmed down. Only her ears were still red. After putting on makeup for him, Lu Qinshang went to the recording studio. Suisui was swiping her cell phone in the makeup room and checking in on the popr topics andpeting for the top rankings. It took half an hour toplete the mission. Just as she cut back to the homepage of Weibo, she saw a piece of news. She couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°F*ck.¡± Then, she immediately called Lin Qingqian. When Lin Qingqian received the call, she was already in Han Liubai¡¯s ward. Han Liubai was lying on the bed with an IV drip. He was still unconscious. She stood in front of the window and said into her phone in a low voice, ¡°Got it.¡± She hung up and went on Weibo to read the news. Half an hour ago, Sheng Yan¡¯s studio released a statement expressing regret for not being able to participate in the charity event today. They mentioned that due to certain uncontroble factors, the organizers made ast-minute recement. Despite the disappointment, they respect the decision of the organizers and hope for future coborations. At first nce, there was nothing wrong with this statement. But when she opened thements, she realized that a few of Sheng Yan¡¯s super talkative fans were leading the discussions. Someone released the photos taken at the event location and said that Sheng Yan was already waiting in the van for the event to begin. In the end, Shi Guang Studio¡¯s people called the person-in-charge and Ren Guangxi over. Later on, Ren Guangxi reced Sheng Yan on stage. Sheng Yan¡¯s Weibo didn¡¯t say much, but silently liked the studio¡¯s statement, causing a wave of excitement among his fans. Soon, Shi Guang Studio and Ren Guangxi were scolded and became trending topics. Sheng Yan¡¯s fans even flooded into Shi Guang Studio and Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo. Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo private message box was flooded with various vulgarities, reaching a staggering 999+ messages in an instant, causing it to freeze. Unable to respond, she had no choice but to exit the app and call Su Ying. ¡°Can you help me contact some marketing ounts and expose the incident of someone throwing sulfuric acid at the event, preferably implicating Sheng Yan¡¯s fans?¡± Lin Qingqian asked Su Ying, requesting her assistance in spreading the news. Wasn¡¯t it just apetition of nder? It depended on who was more ruthless and better at it. Su Ying was very fast. She immediately contacted a few marketers to lead the way and exposed the matter of Shi Guang Studio¡¯s staff being sshed with sulfuric acid by Sheng Yan¡¯s fans. For a moment, Sheng Yan¡¯s fans were attacked by the entire Inte, and even Sheng Yan¡¯s past scandals were dug out. For example, his stic surgery photos, or how he conspired to suppress other contestants during the talent show, or even how he leaked the news about Ren Guangxi¡¯s rtionship status to the media¡­ Despite Sheng Yan¡¯s fans¡¯ efforts to defend him, once a person¡¯s image is tarnished, it¡¯s hard to withstand scrutiny. Constantly, more and more scandals and negative information kept surfacing, leading to multiple hot search topics. His fans are notorious in the industry for their toxic behavior. They would criticize male actors in the same project for being ugly and not worthy of being paired with their idol. They would also relentlessly attack rival female actors, using them of being desperate for fame and shamelessly trying to create a ¡°couple¡± pairing with their idol for publicity. There are also screenshots of Sheng Yan joining fan groups and addressing fans as ¡°wives.¡± For a moment, Sheng Yan and his fans became theughing stock of the entire Inte! Sheng Yan¡¯s team was stunned. They didn¡¯t expect that there would be an incident of sulfuric acid sshing, let alone that this matter would be med on him. The studio immediately released a statement to rify, but it was useless. Lin Qingqian looked at the change in the trend on the Inte with a calm gaze. When she thought of Sheng Yan¡¯s arrogant attitude in the car, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. He probably didn¡¯t expect to be burnt so quickly. Shi Guang Studio¡¯s official Weibo also issued a statement that they had zero tolerance for crimes. In addition, they officially terminated their cooperation with Sheng Yan. Immediately, someizens noticed something fishy andmented below, saying, ¡°Passersby,e and taste, examine it carefully.¡± Lin Qingqian and Su Ying made a few calls to arrange thepany¡¯s matters. Vin hurriedly called to ask what was going on. Lin Qingqian said in a light voice, ¡°If we¡¯re not fated to continue working together, you can find someone else for the styling.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± Just as Vin opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. ¡°Vin, the principle of ¡®Z¡¯ is to value talent, and my coboration philosophy is based on character!¡± For someone like Sheng Yan, who can¡¯t withstand scrutiny due to his questionable character and attempts to smear others, Lin Qingqian is already being very kind that she didn¡¯t cause him to be unable to survive in the entertainment industry. Vin knew that although she looked indifferent and weak, she was actually very opinionated. What she had decided couldn¡¯t be changed, so she hung up Lin Qingqian put down her phone and turned around to find that Han Liubai had woken up at some point and was looking at her quietly with his eyes open. ¡°Does it hurt very much?¡± She walked over and sat down. Han Liubai¡¯s breathing was very weak. His dry lips moved slightly as he said, ¡°Fortunately¡­¡± Before Lin Qingqian could speak, she heard a dry voice finish the rest of her sentence. ¡°It wasn¡¯t you¡­¡¯ ¡ªFortunately, it wasn¡¯t you¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin eyshes trembled fiercely, and her red lips pursed slightly.. ¡°Why were you so stupid as to help me block it?¡± Chapter 211 - 211: Their Relationship Is Nothing More Than That Chapter 211: Their Rtionship Is Nothing More Than That Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Han Liubai took a few breaths and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, don¡¯t block it, you¡¯ll¡­ be disfigured.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said, ¡°So be it. I don¡¯t care.¡± ¡°I¡­ care.¡± Han Liubai tried his best to open his half-closed eyes and look straight at her. Lin Qingqian was stunned. Before she could react, he said in a difficult voice, ¡°You saved my life.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before. It was just a casual gesture. You don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± Fortunately, he had only injured his back. If he died because of this, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. As for what Jiang Yanshen would do if she was disfigured, she couldn¡¯t care less. If Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t ept it, it only meant that their rtionship was nothing more than that. Han Liubai¡¯s breathing was weak, and his eyelids kept drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep. Lin Qingqian nced at his back and said in a low voice, ¡°Stop talking and rest well.¡± Han Liubai slowly closed his eyes. Lin Qingqian sat by the bed for a long time until her cell phone rang. Seeing that the number was Jiang Yanshen, she picked it up without hesitation¡­ Afraid that she would disturb Han Liubai¡¯s rest, she lowered her voice and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go immediately.¡± After ending the call, she looked at the sleeping man again and got up to leave the ward gently. Lu Yuan guarded the door of the ward. ¡°Miss Lin.¡± ¡°Help me find a nurse to take care of him. I¡¯m going to the police station.¡± At this moment, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and directly ordered Lu Yuan around. Lu Yuan immediately went to do it. Lin Qingqian was sent to the police station by the bodyguards, and Jiang Yanshen personally came out to meet her. ¡°Did he talk?¡± she asked. Jiang Yanshen held her hand tightly in his palm and shook his head with dark eyes. They walked into the police station. Gu Xici was also there and brought them to a small room where they could watch the interrogation process. The suspect had silver handcuffs on his hands and was smiling foolishly. No matter what the police asked him, he continued smiling foolishly. Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± She looked at Gu Xici, who was wearing casual clothes. ¡°Preliminary judgment is that he has mental problems,¡± Gu Xici replied. ¡°How did a mentally ill person get sulfuric acid?¡± Lin Qingqian asked directly. Gu Xici raised his eyebrows and nced at her before looking at Jiang Yanshen. As expected of a couple. They had the same thoughts. Lin Qingqian recalled the details of the crime scene. ¡°He walked straight towards me. When he sshed the sulfuric acid, he even said, ¡®Go to hell, f*cking b*tch!¡¯ ¡°His target is me. There has to be someone instructing him. I don¡¯t have any grudges with him. Why would he target me alone?¡± Gu Xici agreed with her. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the psychiatric experts toe over. We¡¯ll find out soon if he¡¯s pretending to be crazy.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. She thought of something and said, ¡°Have you checked his interpersonal rtionships?¡± ¡°My colleagues have already investigated. They need some time,¡± Gu Xici replied. Then, his thin lips curled up. ¡°You¡¯re so meticulous. Why didn¡¯t you apply to the police academy back then?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could answer, Jiang Yanshen red at him warningly. He didn¡¯t want Qianqian to be a police officer. She¡¯ll have to face danger every day in this kind of job. Gu Xici knew that he doted on his wife and said with a smile, ¡°There won¡¯t be any results for a while. Go back first. I¡¯ll inform you if there¡¯s any news.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He looked down at the woman beside him, respecting her opinion. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for your news.¡± After getting into the car, Lin Qingqian told the chauffeur to go back to the hospital. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened imperceptibly. He pinched her fingertips and said, ¡°Lu Yuan will be enough at the hospital. Let¡¯s go back first..¡± Chapter 212 - 212: The Jiang Family’s Upbringing Chapter 212: The Jiang Family¡¯s Upbringing Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°But¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian had just opened her mouth when she heard him say, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow morning, okay?¡± Since he had already said so, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t insist anymore and followed him home first. After a long day, Lin Qingqian was not in the mood to cook. Jiang Yanshen was very observant and asked Song Qin to go to the restaurant nearby to buy some food in advance. They would be able to eat when they reached home. The streetmps outside the window lit up one by one. There was only one floormp lit in the house, vaguely outlining the lines of the furnishings. After taking a shower, Jiang Yanshen came out of the bathroom and saw Lin Qingqian curled up on the sofa in a daze. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Qingqian replied without looking up, ¡°I¡¯m wondering who thought of such a vicious method to pour sulfuric acid.¡± This person wasn¡¯t intending to take her life, but it could make the rest of her life a living hell. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm palmnded on the top of her head and he said in a low voice, ¡°Gu Xici will investigate thoroughly. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Although Gu Xici was from the Criminal Investigation Unit and usually only dealt with murder cases, even if Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything, he would still be assigned to take on this kind of extreme cases that happened in public. Lin Qingqian felt a warmth on her head before she reacted. She looked sideways at him without blinking. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but ask when he saw her staring at him. Lin Qingqian blinked and said softly, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, if I¡¯m disfigured, will you still want to be with me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± His thin lips lifted as he answered without any hesitation. Lin Qinzqian: ¡°Whv?¡± ¡°I like you. I love you. So, I naturally have to be with you.¡± His deep voice was low and slow, like a voice that entered her heart. Lin Qingqian was stunned. Clearly, she didn¡¯t expect him to suddenly say these words so seriously. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were warm. Seeing that she was silent, he asked, ¡°What did I say wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly and she couldn¡¯t help but lower her head. Her voice sounded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Why did you suddenly say¡­ that you love me?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slender and strong arms pulled her into his arms. When he lowered his head, his hot breath sprayed on her face. ¡°If you want to hear it, I can tell it to you every day.¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath and felt a wave of heat rush from her ears to her heart. Then, it spread to her limbs and bones, and her entire body went numb. She turned to look at him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± As soon as she opened her lips, they were blocked. A burning wetnessnded on her lips and blocked the words that were about toe out of her mouth. ¡°I love you, Qianqian.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s cheeks were hot, and her curly eyshes trembled. Her clear eyes glistened, and she bit her pink lips lightly, not saying anything for a moment. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s nose rubbed against hers. He felt her eyshes gently brush against his cheek, like a cat¡¯s ws scratching his heart. It hurt a little, but it also itched a little. Most of it was because of the irresistiblepulsion in his heart. His burning gazended on her thin and red lips. His heart thumped, and he could no longer suppress his desire. He covered her red lips again. His kiss was urgent and heavy, and Lin Qingqian subconsciously wanted to dodge. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hot palm grabbed the back of her neck, making it impossible for her to dodge. Hot. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was nk, and there was only one thought left: Hot. The weather was very hot. His lips were hot, and his hands. In the next second, she felt her entire body soar into the air. After a short few dozen seconds, shended on the warm andfortable bed. His muscr body pressed down. Her slender hand blocked in front of him. Her face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were filled with spring. However, when she looked at him, there was a hint of resistance. She silently rejected what was about to happen. Jiang Yanshen held her small hand to his mouth and kissed it. ¡°I won¡¯t touch you tonight. Let me kiss you a little longer, okay?¡± His hoarse and seductive voice was so sexy that it was almost against the rules. No matter how firm Lin Qingqian¡¯s will was, she couldn¡¯t resist Jiang Yanshen¡¯s temptation at this moment. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her lips again. The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up. Her lips were numb, and she was angry and frustrated at the thought of what happenedst night. Although he kept his word and didn¡¯t touch her bottomline, he kissed her for more than an hour. In the end, her mouth was dry and numb. Jiang Yanshen was not much better. He got up to pour some water and fed her a cup of water before going to the bathroom to take a shower. Lin Qingqian washed up simply and changed into a lotus-colored dress. When she walked out of the room, Jiang Yanshen was already sitting neatly in front of the sofa. There was aputer on the coffee table. It was obvious that he was working. Lin Qingqian lowered her voice and said, ¡°What do you want to eat this morning?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her, and a smile couldn¡¯t help but appear at the corners of his eyes. He waved his hand. ¡°Come here.¡± Lin Qingqian walked over and heard an explosion¡ª ¡°F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! I only went to Africa and you guys got together!!!¡± Lin Qingqian looked at theputer in surprise. So he was video calling Jiang Yunshen. It was unknown which corner Jiang Yunshen was hiding in, but he looked quite shabby. However, his words made Lin Qingqian frown. ¡°Little brat, how can you speak like that?¡± ¡°Pfft! I¡¯m not a little brat!¡± Jiang Yunshen shouted on the other end of the video call. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The silent Jiang Yanshen suddenly narrowed his eyes, his hawk-like eyes filled with warning. Jiang Yunshen was instantly dumbfounded. He looked at Jiang Yanshen resentfully and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Brother, you¡¯re too fast. I definitely wasn¡¯t mentally prepared.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°What mental preparation do you need?¡± Jiang Yunshen nced at Lin Qingqian, who was sitting beside Jiang Yanshen, and didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Call her Sister-inw,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in his deep voice. ¡°Big Brother!¡± Jiang Yunshen was a little angry. He frowned and didn¡¯t say anything, like an anxious child. Lin Qingqian watched the brothers¡¯ performance quietly and didn¡¯t say anything. Seeing that he was not giving in, Jiang Yanshen said unhurriedly, ¡°Lu Yuan ordered a limited edition Maserati a few days ago. It should be here in the next two days!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes widened as he said excitedly, ¡°Big Brother! You¡¯re really my biological brother! How did you Imow that I¡¯ve always wanted a Maserati!¡± Even through the screen, Lin Qingqian could feel that his saliva was about to flow out. Jiang Yanshen ignored his ttery and said calmly, ¡°I n to give it to your sister-inw. I wonder if she¡¯ll like it?¡± Jiang Yunshen immediately became dispirited and looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°My brother gave you such an expensive gift. Aren¡¯t you embarrassed to ept it?¡± ¡°Why would I be embarrassed?¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly,pletely ignoring his resentful gaze. ¡°But why are you driving a sports car as a girl?¡± Jiang Yunshen said righteously, ¡°My brother must have ordered it for me. Why are you snatching it!¡± ¡°Your brother clearly said that it was for me.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that Jiang Yanshen wanted to protect her and wanted Jiang Yunshen to respect her and cooperated with him to perform. ¡°You!!¡± Jiang Yun was furious and couldn¡¯t help but re at her. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, hang up. We¡¯re going to have breakfast.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the camera and revealed an innocent and harmless smile. Jiang Yanshen cooperated and wanted to get up. When Jiang Yunshen saw this, he immediately panicked and blurted out, ¡°Sister-inw, my biological Sister-inw!¡± Lin Qingqian had just left the sofa when she sat back down. She looked down at the video and suppressed a smile. ¡°What did you call me? I didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± ¡°S¡­ Sister-inw!¡± He called out unwillingly again. ¡°I still didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± Jiang Yunshen held his breath and called her Sister-inw three times in one breath. ¡°Are you satisfied?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly, looking like she was thinking. ¡°It doesn¡¯t sound very sincere?¡± Jiang Yunshen gritted his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!¡± Seeing that he was really about to get angry, Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t like this kind of shy car. If you like it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned and in disbelief. ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Yes! Yes! Yes!¡± Jiang Yunshen jumped up from his chair on the other end of theputer and spun around happily. Lin Qingqian looked at his happy appearance. He waspletely like a child. From the corner of his eye, Jiang Yanshen saw a faint smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He said, ¡°ording to our Jiang Family¡¯s upbringing, what should you say now?¡± When Jiang Yunshen heard his brother¡¯s voice, he immediately stopped. Facing the camera, he couldn¡¯t suppress the upward curls on the corners of his mouth. A cute little canine tooth appeared on his left side and he said sincerely, ¡°Thank you, Sister-inw.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Jiang Yanshen ended the video call. Coincidentally, Song Qin had also sent breakfast over. After the two of them finished breakfast, Jiang Yanshen sent her to the hospital. The car stopped at the hospital entrance, but Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t get out of the car. He pinched her fingers with his fingertips. ¡°Call me when you¡¯re done. I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. After getting out of the car, she turned around and waved at the man sitting in the car. Jiang Yanshen raised his well-defined fingers and waved back at her. Their rhythm was exactly the same. Song Qin, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, saw it from the corner of her eye. She was so shocked that her eyes almost fell to the ground. The image of Director Jiang, who used to be mature, steady, and cold in her heart, had copsed!!! Jiang Yanshen himself didn¡¯t feel that this was very silly at all. The way he looked at her became even softer. Lin Qingqian took the elevator to the 18th floor. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a woman in a light blue dress walking towards her. ¡°Secretary Xu?¡± Lin Qingqian was a little surprised to see her here. Xu Wan didn¡¯t expect to bump into Lin Qingqian either. Her expression changed slightly for a few seconds before she quickly calmed down. ¡°President Lin. ¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian asked subconsciously. Xu Wan replied without changing her expression, ¡°A friend of mine is hospitalized. I came over to take a look.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard her say this, she tactfully didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°Then I wish your friend a speedy recovery.¡± Xu Wan smiled faintly. ¡°I thank you on his behalf. Are you here to visit a friend too?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°My colleague is also in this hospital. Something happened to him.¡± Xu Wan: ¡°I heard about what happened yesterday. Fortunately, you¡¯re fine.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn¡¯t reply. ¡°I still have something on. Excuse me,¡± Xu Wan said. ¡°Let¡¯s talk again when we have the chance.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and watched her going into the distance as she walked into the elevator¡­ She turned around and pushed open Han Liubai¡¯s ward. Before she could look at the bed, she was instantly stunned.. Chapter 213 - 213: Suspicion Chapter 213: Suspicion Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions There was a faint and familiar fragrance in the air. He seemed to have smelled this fragrance just now. Was it an illusion? Han Liubaiy on the bed and vaguely sensed someone enter. He turned his head with great effort and saw Lin Qingqian standing at the door in a daze. ¡°Director Lin¡­¡± He pursed his lips, his voice still very weak. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and restrained the doubts in her eyes. She walked to the bed and sat down as if nothing had happened. ¡°Do you feel better?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s throat moved as he nodded. Seeing that his lips were a little dry, Lin Qingqian poured a ss of water, inserted a straw, and brought it to his mouth. ¡°Drink some water.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± He finished most of the ss of water and said slowly, ¡°Have you caught the culprit?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°They said that he has mental problems, but we¡¯re still investigating the details.¡± Han Liu¡¯s white curly eyshes lowered, casting a green shadow at the corner of his eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. He came directly for you.¡± ¡°I know, but the police need evidence to do things.¡± Lin Qingqian exined. He took a deep breath and looked at her. ¡°You have to be careful. Don¡¯te to the hospital unless there¡¯s something important. I have the doctors and nurses to take care of me.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at his back with an apologetic look in her eyes. In the end, she had implicated him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Han Liubai nodded indifferently and asked, ¡°Did President Jiang send someone to protect you?¡± ¡°Yes, he even left Lu Yuan for me to use,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. ¡°Rest well and don¡¯t think too much. It¡¯s tiring.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s pale lips moved. ¡°Alright, go ahead and do your work. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. ¡°Rest well then. I¡¯lle and see youter.¡± Han Liubai nodded slightly. Then, as if he was very tired, he slowly closed his eyes. Lin Qingqian stood up and walked out of the ward. Lu Yuan was guarding the door. When he saw here out, he said respectfully, ¡°Miss Lin.¡± ¡°I want to go back to thepany,¡± Lin Qingqian said directly. Lu Yuan: ¡°I¡¯ll get the chauffeur to bring the car over immediately.¡± The two bodyguards from before were too careless and had already been reced. Now, the bodyguard was a retired soldier that Lu Yuan had carefully selected. Not only was he a chauffeur, but he could also protect Lin Qingqian. Just as Lin Qingqian walked into thepany, Su Ying hurriedly came over and asked, ¡°Sister Qingqian, is Designer Han alright?¡± ¡°His life is not in danger, but he has to be hospitalized for a period of time.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t hide Han Liubai¡¯s situation from her. ¡°His work will be handed over to others for the time being. Tell me if there¡¯s anything you can¡¯t handle.¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make the arrangements now.¡± Lin Qingqian was about to take a step when Suisui ran over. ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡± ¡°Slow down, don¡¯t always be so energetic.¡± Just as she was about to collide with her, Lin Qingqian reached out and grabbed her shoulder to prevent herself from being bumped. Suisui stabilized herself and stuck out her tongue. She couldn¡¯t wait and blurted out, ¡°Qianqian, White has just announced that its cooperation with Sheng Yan will be terminated! l¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ It¡¯s really the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. Who has the heavens spared! Who told him to despise us. Now, the boat has capsized. Hahahaha¡­ Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°What did you say? Suisui eximed, ¡°Didn¡¯t you talk to White and ask them to do this?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at her. ¡°What are you thinking? How can I interfere with White¡¯s internal decisions?¡± Suisui blinked and thought for a moment. ¡°Could it be that White also knows that Sheng Yan is not a good person and immediately terminated the contract to avoid losses?¡± With that, she couldn¡¯t help but gloat. ¡®Who cares! In any case, I¡¯m happy to see Sheng Yan not doing well. Hahahahaha¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was not surprised that White would terminate the contract with Sheng Yan. She was only surprised that White would act so quickly! The image of meeting Xu Wan in the hospital involuntarily shed across her mind. She appeared at the hospital so early in the morning. And saw her, she didn¡¯t mention this matter at all. When she returned, she immediately announced that she would terminate her contract with Sheng Yan¡­ What was the connection? ¡°Qianqian! Qianqian!!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at her nkly. Suisui was puzzled. ¡°What are you thinking about? Your phone rang. Didn¡¯t you hear it?¡± Only then did Lin Qingqian notice that her cell phone was ringing. When she saw that it was a call from Vin, she immediately picked it up. ¡°Vin¡­¡± As she answered the call, she gave Suisui a look and walked towards her office. Vin¡¯s voice was a little anxious on the other end of the phone. ¡°Have you seen the announcement about White?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t look, but I heard that they want to terminate their contract with Sheng Yan.¡± Lin Qingqian closed the office door, hung her handbag on the hanger, and walked to her desk to sit down. Vin: ¡°Originally, we decided that Sheng Yan would be the theme for our Summer issue. But now that Sheng Yan¡¯s contract has been terminated, we have to rece him. It¡¯s very difficult to find a suitable candidate for the time being. ¡± Lin Qingqian said helplessly, ¡°I can¡¯t help you with this problem. In terms of connections in the entertainment industry, I can¡¯tpare to you.¡± ¡°The veteran celebrities I know either don¡¯t have avable schedules or have already left the industry. Can¡¯t you help me think of a solution?¡± Vin sounded a little anxious. It wasn¡¯t easy for Z Magazine to use Li Wenwen to make aeback. If they didn¡¯t do the theme well this time, they would easily be beaten back to their original state. ¡°The people I interact with are all current popr celebrities. If you don¡¯t mind, I can rmend them.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°For example¡­ Lu Qinshang!¡± Vin was silent for a moment. ¡°Forget it.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s persona has be stranger and stranger recently. It didn¡¯t match Z Magazine. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°If there¡¯s a suitable candidate, I¡¯ll rmend him to you. You can also ask White for their opinion.¡± The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up and getting busy. In the afternoon, Sheng Yan¡¯s manager called Lin Qingqian, wanting to meet her. It was obvious that the current public opinion was very disadvantageous to Sheng Yan. The team was already at their wits¡¯ end and could only look for Lin Qingqian to see if they could reconcile this matter and save Sheng Yan¡¯s reputation. Initially, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to see them, but in the end, the other party refused to let them off. If Lin Qingqian was unwilling to see them, they woulde to thepany. Lin Qingqian could only get Lu Yuan to prepare the car. In the morning, the sky was still clear, but in the afternoon, dark clouds filled the sky, and it looked like it was going to rain at any time. Under the guidance of the Manager, Lin Qingqian walked into the private room of the private clubhouse. The bodyguard behind her was stopped. The Manager: ¡°Mr. Sheng said that only Miss Lin can go in.¡± The bodyguard was expressionless. His rough facial features were firm, and his attitude was very domineering. It was clear that he was resolute to follow her inside. Lin Qingqian lowered her eyebrows and spun the bracelet on her wrist. She said casually, ¡°Either let him follow, or I¡¯ll leave now.¡± ¡°This¡ªI¡® The Manager looked troubled. Seeing this, Lin Qingqian turned around and left. ¡°Wait.¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s manager walked over, his gaze lingering on the bodyguard and Lin Qingqian¡¯s slightly cold expressions. In the end, hepromised. ¡°Come in.¡± The door of the private room closed. Lin Qingqian was wearing high heels today, and her originally slender figure looked even taller. She ced her handbag on the sofa and sat down impolitely. Sheng Yan, who was sitting opposite her, had a gloomy gaze as he stared at her like a wolf, ready to pounce on her and bite her neck off at any moment. ¡°Mr. Sheng, if you have something to say to me, just say it. Don¡¯t waste each other¡¯s time.¡± Her red lips curled up slightly as she went straight to the point. Sheng Yan loosened his clenched teeth and said with a hint of fear, ¡°Name a price.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head slightly, her in features filled with confusion. ¡°Stop pretending!¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s tense voice squeezed out word by word. ¡°The person behind the acid attack on you is not my fan at all. You know that.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slightly pursed lips rxed, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. ¡°Then you should also know that me letting Ren Guangxi up on stage was a forced choice.¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s eyes turned sinister. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°I can make a statement to rify.¡± The smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips deepened. ¡°Sheng Yan, I thought that after being in the entertainment industry for so many years, you should understand the rules of this industry very well.¡± Sheng Yan frowned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°What I mean is¡ª¡± She pursed her lips, her eyes cold as she asked word by word, ¡°Do you think you still have a chance to turn things around?¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s face turned pale immediately. His hands clenched into fists, and his eyes became even more ruthless. ¡°Why?¡± He suppressed his anger and said, ¡°Why are you doing this to me!!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent as she said in a gentle voice, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be the one asking you this?¡± Sheng Yan was stunned. Right on the heels of that, he heard her indifferent tone say slowly, ¡°I¡¯ve felt it since the first time we met. You¡¯re¡­ filled with hostility towards me.¡± A trace of panic shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ruthless eyes. He didn¡¯t expect her to discover him despite hiding it so well. ¡°Can I ask why?¡± Lin Qingqian said indifferently. Actually, the answer was not that important to her. However, since she was here, she would ask. Sheng Yan¡¯s cheeks moved slightly, and his tightly clenched fists slowly rxed. His cold voice couldn¡¯t hide his resentment. ¡°Who asked you to be a busybody and help style Lu Qinshang?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear pupils dted slightly. What did this have to do with Lu Qinshang? ¡°You helped style Lu Qinshang and made him trend again and again!¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s suppressed anger was finallypletely released at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°And me? You only threw me to a small designer! I lose every time! It¡¯s always me!!¡± He almost shouted thest sentence. Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes moved slightly, and she understood after some thought. Lu Qinshang¡¯s initial style was handled by her. As a result, he was as popr as Luo Tianxue and was trending every time. Sheng Yan¡¯s style was handed over to Xiao Bai. To be honest, if Lu Qinshang was not present, Sheng Yan could indeed suppress everyone. However, once he was in the same scene as Lu Qinshang, his light would dim a lot¡­ She didn¡¯t expect Lu Qinshang to be able to attract hatred for her. ¡°Do you know?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. Her voice was light and pleasant as she said word by word, ¡°Lu Qinshang¡¯s style was also done by Han Liubai.¡± Sheng Yan was instantly stunned. Her light and confident voice sounded in his ears. ¡°So, there must be another reason..¡± Chapter 214 - 214: Case Closed Chapter 214: Case Closed Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Sheng Yan held his breath. He never expected this woman to be so smart. She looked gentle and harmless. Lin Qingqian saw the sweat flowing down his forehead and the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to tell me. In any case, I don¡¯t really want to know.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around to leave. Sheng Yan gritted his teeth and said, ¡°If I tell you, will you let me go?¡± Lin Qingqian turned back to look at him. ¡°I¡¯ll consider it.¡± Sheng Yan¡¯s clenched fists slowly rxed. ¡°Princess Ling Shuang likes Lu Qinshang very much! ¡± That simple sentence was enough for Lin Qingqian to figure out the connection. Jiang Yanshen sneered. ¡°Every time she takes the initiative to look for me, it¡¯s to ask about Lu Qinshang! Every time I touch her, she has to imagine me as Lu Qinshang¡­¡± His tense voice became gloomier and gloomier, and a few streaks of red appeared in his eyes. He stood up and kicked over the coffee table. ¡°I¡¯m Sheng Yan, not Lu Qinshang!¡± He hated Lu Qinshang and everyone who helped him! Seeing that he had lost control of his emotions, the bodyguard was afraid that he would hurt Lin Qingqian and wanted to go forward. Lin Qingqian gave him a look, and he retracted his step. ¡°So, you were the one who helped Ling Shuang contact YXH to defame me in the beginning, right?¡± Sheng Yan was agitated, his eyes red. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡®Yes! ¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up as she said, ¡°As expected, birds of a feather flock together.¡± With that, she turned to leave. Sheng Yan chased after her and reached out to grab her shoulder. ¡°You said that you would let me off¡­¡± Before his fingertips could touch Lin Qingqian¡¯s shoulder, they were restrained by the bodyguard and bent forcefully. There was a crisp cracking sound, and then Sheng Yan shouted in pain. The manager wanted to step forward, but when he met the bodyguard¡¯s sharp gaze, he dispelled the thought. Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at the pale man. A mocking smile shed across her lips. ¡°Do you know why you can¡¯tpare to Lu Qinshang?¡± Sheng Yan was in so much pain that he couldn¡¯t speak. He just kept panting, and the way he looked at her became humble. ¡°Because you¡¯ll never be as honest as he is.¡± With that, Lin Qingqian turned around. She didn¡¯t want to waste any more time with him. She walked out of the private room and saw a handsome man walking out of the opposite private room in a neat suit. When Jiang Yanshen saw her, his originally cold eyes suddenly softened and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m dealing with something,¡± Lin Qingqian replied very tactfully, not mentioning Ling Shuang¡¯s matter in front of him. In front of the two old men, Jiang Yanshen naturally held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Coincidentally, Gu Xici wants us to make a trip to the police station. ¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Are there any results from the investigation?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded in agreement. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was focused on the police station and she did not notice the presence of the two people. She left the private clubhouse with Jiang Yanshen. At the police station, in the conference room. Lin Qingqian looked at the documents and reports in front of her. Her eyebrows moved slightly, but before she could speak, Gu Xici, who was sitting opposite her, said, ¡°The documents in front of you have the diagnosis of a psychiatric expert and the results of our investigation of the criminal.¡± Her slender and fair fingers slowly opened the document. What greeted her eyes were some professional terms, all of which were fields she was unfamiliar with. ¡°Can you tell me the results directly?¡± Her clear eyes swept up to look at him. Gu Xici nodded. ¡°Of course!¡± ¡°The psychiatrist has already confirmed that he¡¯s indeed a mentally ill patient. In addition, we searched his house and found arge number of photos of a female celebrity, and this female celebrity is rted to you.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Lin Qingqian looked confused and couldn¡¯t remember for a moment. Gu Xici looked at Jiang Yanshen and asked, ¡°Do you still remember Tang Tiantian?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was cold as he replied decisively, ¡°No.¡± However, Lin Qingqian remembered that it was the female celebrity who wanted to use her to get close to Jiang Yanshen and even fought with Luo Tianxue. ¡°He¡¯s a fan of Tang Tiantian?¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°Tang Tiantian has disappeared from the entertainment industry since that scandal. From the current evidence, the other party is taking revenge on you for her!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t make sense!¡± Lin Qingqian said without thinking, ¡°I wasn¡¯t the one who exposed Tang Tiantian at all. Her departure from the industry has nothing to do with me. This matter can¡¯t be med on me no matter what!¡± Gu Xici said unhurriedly, ¡°We¡¯ve looked for Tang Tiantian¡¯s manager. He said that the fan went to look for him, but because he didn¡¯t dare to offend Luo Tianxue, he pushed the me to you.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® Jiang Yanshen, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, ¡°I remember now. That female celebrity seemed to have been dealt with by Lu Dongcheng.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® This Lu siblings really knew how to cause trouble for her!!! She lowered her head and flipped through the information. There were a few photos mixed in. They were all of Tang Tiantian. ¡°Doesn¡¯t he have a family?¡± Gu Xici replied, ¡°His parents died early and he was an orphan. He was married before, but his wife died in childbirth and his child was lost. From then on, he developed mental problems.¡± ¡°I heard that Tang Tiantian looks like his wife, so he became her fan.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up the photo. It was a pair of young people. From the eyebrows of the woman, she looked a little simr to Tang Tiantian. ¡°He has mental problems and his life should be very difficult. How did he get the sulfuric acid?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and asked. Gu Xici scratched his forehead. ¡®We haven¡¯t been able to find out about this, but we can¡¯t find anything else suspicious.¡± Lin Qingqian understood the meaning in his words. Because they couldn¡¯t find any other evidence to prove that there were other instigators, this case had to be closed. ¡°What will happen to him?¡± Gu Xici nced at Jiang Yanshen and coughed lightly. ¡°You know that people with mental problems are usually unable to be sentenced and can only be sent to a mental hospital.¡± He pointed to his brain. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold, and his cold eyes seemed to want to skin him alive. Gu Xici said helplessly, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. There¡¯s nothing I can do about thew.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the documents and held his cold fingertips. Her voice was light. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s leave it at that.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her. ¡®Qianqian¡­¡± With his intelligence, could he not think of something that even Lin Qingqian could think of? Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm, without a trace of anger or dissatisfaction. ¡°Officer Gu has already tried his best. Moreover, if someone is really out to harm me, there will definitely be a next time if they didn¡¯t seed once. We can always catch the perpetrator at that time.¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and held her hand, grunting softly. In the hospital, in the ward. Han Liubaiy on the bed. His light eyebrows were haggard and tired, and his pale skin was so colorless that he looked like a vampire who had suddenly been exposed to the sunlight. Something was vibrating under the pillow. After a while, his gently closed eyes slowly opened. He took out his phone and saw the caller ID. He ced the phone to his ear. It was unknown what the other party said, but his pale lips pursed slightly. His voice was hoarse. ¡°I understand. You did very well. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he put down the phone. His arm happened to tug at the wound on his back and he gasped in pain. Still, a faint smile appeared on his thin lips¡­ Chapter 215 - 215: Director Jiang Is Jealous Chapter 215: Director Jiang Is Jealous Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian wanted to go to the hospital to visit Han Liubai. Jiang Yanshen was unhappy, but he didn¡¯t say anything and asked the chauffeur to bring her to the hospital. The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t get out of the car. He reached out and swept her scattered hair behind her ears. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± She pushed open the car door and got out. Wearing a long dress, she walked into the hospital¡¯s inpatient department. Jiang Yanshen watched as her back disappeared from his sight. Only then did he retract his gaze and make a call¡ª ¡°Help me investigate Han Liubai and the people around him.¡± Lin Qingqian walked out of the elevator and saw a figure standing in front of Han Liubai¡¯s ward from afar. She walked over and patted his shoulder. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± He was shocked and turned around to see Lin Qingqian. His gaze lingered on her for a moment and he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Do you want something to happen to me?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Although Ren Guangxi¡¯s expression was cold, his tone was a little anxious. ¡°I saw you being pushed away, but I¡¯m not sure if you¡¯re injured.¡± At that time, he was on the stage and there were many people at the event location, so he couldn¡¯t go over to take a look. When the event ended, he couldn¡¯t find Lin Qingqian because he didn¡¯t have her contact information. He also didn¡¯t know which hospital they had been sent to. He called Shi Guang Studio to ask, but they didn¡¯t tell him. After a long time, he finally found out that they had been sent to this hospital. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curved slightly. ¡°Thank you for your concern. I¡¯m fine. My colleague saved me that day.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Ren Guangxi pursed his lips, his eyes flickering. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered his courage and said, ¡°I came today to thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°For what?¡± ¡°For rmending me to go on stage. But¡­¡± He took a deep breath and said firmly, ¡°Although I¡¯ve broken up with my girlfriend, I don¡¯t want to rely on other methods to get to the top!¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned at first. When she came back to her senses, she couldn¡¯t help butugh. Herughter became more and more obvious as she lowered her head. Ren Guangxi was puzzled. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Lin Qingqian finally stoppedughing and looked up at him. She couldn¡¯t suppress the mirth in her voice. ¡°Although you¡¯re young and good-looking, I already have a boyfriend.¡± Ren Guangxi¡¯s expression immediately became awkward, and his ears turned red. He didn¡¯t expect such a huge misunderstanding to happen! ¡°Then, then why did you rmend me to go on stage and even donate 8 million yuan?¡± If not for the fact that she had donated 8 million yuan, he wouldn¡¯t have thought that she wanted to sleep with him. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles, and her voice was light. ¡°First of all, regardless of whether you go on stage or not, I was going to donate the 8 million yuan. Isn¡¯t this result the best of both worlds?¡± Ren Guangxi frowned and thought for a moment. ¡°I still don¡¯t understand. We don¡¯t even know each other. Why did you help me?¡± ¡°I just¡­ suddenly want to do some good deeds to umte good karma.¡± Lin Qingqian retracted the smile on her lips. ¡°Perhaps your sincerity when facing those children moved me.¡± Kindness that shone without needing to cast a light could be seen through with a nce. Ren Guangxi didn¡¯t expect this reason at all. He was surprised and touched, but he didn¡¯t show these emotions on his face. ¡°Well, no matter what, thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. She paused and said, ¡°May I ask why you broke up with your girlfriend?¡± A person who bravely admitted their rtionship at their most popr time shouldn¡¯t be someone who was irresponsible. Ren Guangxi¡¯s eyes darkened. He bit his lip and didn¡¯t say anything. Seeing that he didn¡¯t want to say it, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t continue asking. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to say it. I was presumptuous¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Ren Guangxi suddenly said, ¡°She was the one who suggested breaking up.¡± A trace of surprise surged in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. The big boy¡¯s face was covered in ayer of gloom as he said self-deprecatingly, ¡°She saw that I was being cast out by thepany and my poprity was gone, so she decided to break up with me.¡± Lin Qingqian understood. ¡°She wanted to use you to climb up the ranks, but you fell in love with her.¡± Ren Guangxi curled his lips indifferently. ¡°I can¡¯t me her. I didn¡¯t manage to see her true self and reaped what I sowed.¡± ¡°Now, I¡¯ve also seen things clearly. Perhaps I¡¯m destined to be unsuitable for this circle. After participating in that charity event, I decided to return to the countryside.¡± He was born with a cold character. The only reason he could be a celebrity was because of his good voice and skin. He used to think that it was enough as long as he worked hard. Only now did he understand that the entertainment industry was a bottomless abyss. After seeing so many dark things, he was really tired of all of this. Even if he had to go back and farm and feed the pigs, it was better than being on tenterhooks all day and night in the entertainment industry. Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly, and she asked in a light voice, ¡°Are you willing to give up just like that?¡± Ren Guangxi was stunned when he heard her words. ¡°Why did you enter the entertainment industry back then? Are you really willing to leave like this?¡± ¡°1¡ª¡± Stuck by the question, he clenched his fists. ¡°So what if I¡¯m unwilling?¡± Someone like him, who had no money or background and was unwilling to sell his soul, was destined to have no way out in the entertainment industry. Lin Qingqian took out a business card from her bag and handed it to him. ¡°If you¡¯re unwilling, why don¡¯t you wait a little longer? Perhaps there will be a turnaround soon.¡± Ren Guangxi took the business card in a daze. He looked down and saw her name and cell phone number. Then, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with confusion. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up before she pushed open the door of the ward and entered. Ren Guangxi turned around and looked at her back. Even when the door closed, he still stood rooted to the ground, holding the business card she had given him tightly in his hand. Han Liubai¡¯splexion was a little better than in the morning. When he saw Lin Qingqian, his eyes lit up. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not toe over?¡± Lin Qingqian took out the flowers she had bought along the way and ced them in the vase in front of the bed. ¡°Jiang Yanshen sent me here. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Han Liubai pursed his lips. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± she asked as she turned and sat down. A faint smile appeared on Han Liubai¡¯s pale lips. ¡°It¡¯s alright. It doesn¡¯t hurt so much anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that he was saying this tofort her, so she didn¡¯t expose him. Han Liubai thought of something and asked, ¡°Were you talking to someone at the door just now?¡± ¡°Ren Guangxi.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t hide it from him. ¡°He wants to leave the industry and specially came to thank me.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes were half-closed. ¡°Is it the boy from the event?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°He¡¯s a good seedling. Unfortunately, his luck isn¡¯t too good.¡± ¡°You want to help him?¡± Han Liubai acutely understood the meaning behind her words. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯m a stylist, not a manager. How can I help her?¡± After a pause, she added, ¡°However, if there¡¯s a chance, I¡¯ll give him a hand.¡± Perhaps because they were both from humble backgrounds, Lin Qingqian felt a sense of appreciation for Ren Guangxi. Han Liubai smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve always had good taste. Any person that could catch your eye would definitely have a bright future.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled lightly and didn¡¯t reply. The two of them didn¡¯t manage to chat for long before the doctors and nurses came to do their rounds. Jiang Yanshen also just sent another text message to urge her. Lin Qingqian said goodbye to Han Liubai and walked out of the ward. Just as she closed the door of the ward, she turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen standing a few steps away. ¡°Why did youe up?¡± She couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her voice. Jiang Yanshen walked over and held her hand. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll get lost.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t understand his words. Jiang Yanshen nced at the ward behind her from the corner of his eye and held her hand tightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Lin Qingqian only reacted when he pulled her towards the elevator. A smile appeared on her lips. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± Jiang Yanshen pressed the elevator button with his slender fingers and nced at her calmly, as though he was saying: What nonsense are you talking about? The elevator opened and Lin Qingqian followed him into the elevator. At this moment, there were many people going down, and it was filled with people in a short while. The two of them stood in the crowd, holding hands and not saying a word. Jiang Yanshen had never liked to get close to others, especially in such a small space. His eyebrows furrowed. Lin Qingqian stood in front of him without a trace, separating him from the sweaty man in front. She turned around and said silently, ¡°I¡¯ll help you block it.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s frown slowly rxed when he detected a hint of sweet scent on the tip of his nose instead of the unpleasant smell of sweat. The two of them looked at each other and the corners of their lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. Their hands holding each other became tighter and tighter. After a ding, the elevator opened. After everyone in front went out, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen walked out. When he walked to the hospital entrance, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed as he asked, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you have toe to see him twice a day?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°If I¡¯m not busy, sure.¡± Sure? Jiang Yanshen frowned and said coldly, ¡°No!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Lin Qingqian pretended not to know the displeasure in his heart. ¡°He saved me. It¡¯s only right for me to stay in the hospital and take care of him.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already found the best medical team to take care of him around the clock. Lu Yuan has also found a nurse for him!¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said in a tense and cold voice, ¡°If you¡¯re still worried, I can get Song Qin toe. She used to study medicine.¡± Song Qin, who had just walked in, was dumbfounded. ¡°¡­Meow?¡± How did a top student like me, who graduated from the Economics Department of an advanced university, be a medical student? For the first time, Song Qin felt that not only had Director Jiang¡¯s character copsed, but he was also¡­ lying through his teeth! Shameless!!! Seeing his cold expression and suppressed anger, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but lower her head and smile. Jiang Yanshen tugged at her hand. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of causing misunderstandings by taking care of him like this every day?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian gave up. ¡°Let Song Qine instead. I¡¯lle and take a look asionally, okay?¡± Only then did Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold expression change. He nodded and pulled Lin Qingqian past Song Qin without looking sideways. Lin Qingqian cast a look at Song Qin. Song Qin, who had been called over at thest minute: She suddenly understood why Lu Yuan was tired. Now, my heart is also very tired. Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen into the car and couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°You still dare to say that you¡¯re not jealous?¡± Jiang Yanshen, who had just sat down, turned his head to look at her petite face.. ¡°What did you say? Chapter 216 - 216: Director Jiang Learned to Trick Girls Chapter 216: Director Jiang Learned to Trick Girls Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Although he had an imposing expression, Lin Qingqian was no longer as afraid of him as before. ¡°I said that there¡¯s no need to worry about not having vinegar at home in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hawk-like eyes narrowed, and his gaze became even colder. ¡°Say that again!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡®Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re just jealous. Don¡¯t refuse to admit it.¡± ¡°Say that again!¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Just as Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s facial features suddenly erged, and his dry and warm lips pressed against hers. The chauffeur in the driver¡¯s seat looked down and focused on driving. ¡®I didn¡¯t see anything!¡¯ Because there was a third person in the car, Lin Qingqian¡¯s in face suddenly turned red. It was red all the way to her neck. Jiang Yanshen probably sensed it and retreated slightly. He stared at her with his burning magma-like eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Do you still want to say it?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled as she blinked and shook her head faintly. A trace of pity shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. He sat down again, his palm still wrapped around her small hand, and he looked at her red face from the corner of his eye. The more he looked at it, the happier he became. Lin Qingqian pretended to be calm and turned her head to look out of the car window, pretending not to know that he was looking at her. The smile in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes deepened. 1942, private room. Lu Qinshang ordered a table full of wine and delicious food. He said excitedly, ¡°Come, brothers, eat as much as you want. Drink as much as you want. It¡¯s all on me tonight.¡± Gu Xici was the first to pick up a ss of wine and take a sip. He nodded. ¡°This wine is not bad.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t drink and held a ss of mineral water. Lin Qingqian, on the other hand, picked up a ss of cocktail with a very low alcohol content and took a sip. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Hey, don¡¯t just focus on drinking. Don¡¯t you have anything to ask ¡°No!¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t give him any face. Lu Qinshang kicked him and looked at Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even look at him. He looked down at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Drink less.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Alright.¡± Lu Qinshang: Damn it! These two really wanted them to vomit out all the wine they had drunk! Seeing his depressed expression, Gu Xici smiled and said, ¡°Alright, just spew whatever nonsense you wish! Don¡¯t hold it in!¡± After what happenedst time, Gu Xici was no longer reserved in front of Lin Qingqian. It was as if he was acting naturally in front of his brothers. ¡°You¡¯re the one who¡¯s spouting nonsense! ¡± Lu Qinshang kicked him again and stood up with his wine ss. He said excitedly, ¡°I, Lu Qinshang, n to open a managementpany. Not only do I want to be the most popr male actor in the entertainment industry, but I also want to be the richest man in the entertainment industry! Lin Qingqian tilted her head and looked at him. ¡°What kind of madness is this?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not crazy! This is called having ambitions!!¡± Lu Qinshang retorted. ¡°I want to prove to my father that I¡¯m the King of the entertainment industry!¡± Gu Xici and Jiang Yanshen looked at each other. They could roughly guess that he was really frustrated at home and wanted to prove himself! Lin Qingqian held a beautiful-colored cocktail and thought of something. She looked at him. ¡°Do you want to sign talents?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lu Qinshang looked down at her. ¡°Do you want to debut? I can make you the fashion queen of the entertainment industry! !¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him with his dark eyes. Lu Qinshang acted as if he didn¡¯t see it. He only saw Lin Qingqian¡¯s ability to earn money! !! Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in being a celebrity, but there¡¯s someone I can introduce to you!¡± When Lu Qinshang heard that she wasn¡¯t going to debut, he immediately became half-dispirited.. ¡°Who is it?¡± Chapter 217 - 217: You Like Warm People Chapter 217: You Like Warm People Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Ren Guangxi!¡± When Lu Qinshang heard this, he immediately refused. ¡°No way! Thepany only needs one male celebrity, me! I want to sign with many female celebrities! This way, I¡¯ll have a harem of 3,000 beauties and can dote on whoever I want!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but look down on him. ¡°Are you opening a managementpany or a brothel?¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°Forget it. On ount of Ah Yan, tell me who this Ren Guangxi is.¡± ¡°Previously, he was a popr celebrity. Because he didn¡¯t deny when his rtionship was exposed, hispany abandoned him.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s light voice said unhurriedly, ¡°This child has quite a lot of potential. You won¡¯t be disappointed if you sign him.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk!¡± Lu Qinshang shook his head and looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Ah Yan, listen¡­ what did she say? This child? She even raised a little puppy in front of you and don¡¯t care!¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him coldly and warned in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t sow discord.¡± Lu Qinshang: It¡¯s over. Ah Yan ispletely in love!!! ¡°Ah Yan, you¡¯ve changed. You weren¡¯t like this in the past. In the past, you acted ording to what others said. Now, you ignore everything they say¡­¡± As he spoke, he raised his orchid fingers and pretended to be heartbroken. Gu Xici lost his appetite just by looking at him. He turned his body and didn¡¯t look in that direction. He hurriedly took a sip of wine to calm himself down. Jiang Yanshen pulled Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and stood up to walk to the table at the side. ¡°Eat something. Let¡¯s go home after eating.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the cocktail and nodded with a smile. Lu Qinshang, who was ignored, felt very lonely. He followed over eagerly. ¡°Eh? I¡¯m treating. Can¡¯t you give me some face?¡± Lin Qingqian had just taken a bite of something and raised her wine ss to toast him. ¡°I wish you a prosperous business. Remember to take care of me in the future!¡± Lu Qinshang: Damn it! He really didn¡¯t like to be friends with them anymore. It was too hurtful! Although heined in his heart, his body still clinked sses with hers honestly. ¡°Sure, sure!¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. His attention was focused on Lin Qingqian as he picked up food, poured water, and handed her some paper tissues. He took care of her meticulously. After feeding Lin Qingqian, he held her hand and returned home. Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t keep them here anymore. He looked at Gu Xici. ¡°Ah Yan doesn¡¯t drink, and he has a wife, so he left first. But you¡¯re not allowed to leave tonight. You have to apany me to drink to my heart¡¯s content!¡± Gu Xici finished the wine in his hand in one gulp and put down the ss. ¡°Drink it yourself. I still have to go back and read the case file.¡± ¡°What case are you looking at? There haven¡¯t been any murder cases in Lan City recently, and there¡¯s no serial killer. Stop pretending!¡± Lu Qinshang muttered unhappily. Gu Xici¡¯s cold lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m going to look at the previous cases to summarize my experience. You can continue corrupting and degenerating alone here!¡± Lu Qinshang: F*ck! It was fine if he praised herself, but what was the point of stepping on him too?! They were really f*cking careless friends! ! In the car, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s broad and warm palm held Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender fingers tightly. Their palms were pressed against each other, and his hot body temperature gradually seeped into her skin. The atmosphere was inexplicably warm. Lin Qingqian had only drunk two cocktails. Her cheeks were red, but her mind was clear. She turned her head and leaned gently on his shoulder, her eyes narrowed. Jiang Yanshen looked down at her. ¡°You drank too much?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and replied. After a pause, she asked, ¡°You weren¡¯t worried at all?¡± ¡°Ren Guangxi.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s good -looking lips curled up slightly, and his voice was low and hoarse. ¡°You won¡¯t like him.¡± Lin Qingqian sat up straight and turned her head to look at him with the light from the window. ¡°How are you so sure that I won¡¯t like him?¡± As Jiang Yanshen pinched her fingers, he said in a low voice, ¡°You like warm people.¡± He had sent someone to investigate Ren Guangxi. He had a cold personality and was not an easy person to get close to. He did not meet her standards of liking. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have¡ª Thinking of something, his dark eyes darkened slightly. Lin Qingqian snorted lightly. ¡°Who said that? Perhaps I like those cold and arrogant little wolf dogs?!¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she was deliberately going against him and didn¡¯t reply. Lin Qingqian turned to look at him again and muttered softly, ¡°Strange, you weren¡¯t like this in the past. How did you be a cold and hard stone?¡± In the darkness, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp hearing could hear her every word clearly. He pulled her hand closer. Outside the window, the sky was filled with stars. A crescent moon hung high in the sky. asionally, one could hear the chirping of cicadas in the silence. When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, she saw Jiang Yanshen sitting on the sofa in his ck pajamas. On the tea table, there was a small round green bottle with a blooming plum blossom on its body.. ¡°Where did the winee from?¡± Jiang Yanshen seemed to be thinking about something. He came back to his senses and looked up at her. ¡°I brought it back from your house.¡± ¡°My house?¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and reacted after a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s the one I dug out?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He pulled her to sit beside him, poured two small cups of wine, and handed one to her. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and smelled the rich wine fragrance. After taking a sip, she turned to look at him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you specially went to look for me during the new year! You even used Grandma as an excuse!¡± Later on, she called Grandma to wish her a happy new year. Grandma didn¡¯t mention asking him to send something over! This man only knew how to use Grandma as a cover. Jiang Yanshen drank the wine in one gulp. The strong alcohol burned his throat and he couldn¡¯t help but cough twice. Lin Qingqian hurriedly put down the wine ss and patted his back gently. ¡°You can¡¯t take alcohol. Drink less.¡± Because of his bipr disorder, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t drink at all, and his alcohol tolerance was very ordinary. It was not even as good as Lin Qingqian¡¯s. He stopped coughing and held her slightly cold hand to his lips to kiss it. ¡°I¡¯ll control myself and won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that he had misunderstood. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll have a headache tomorrow if you drink too much.¡± Jiang Yanshen kissed her hand carefully and patiently. His voice was hoarse. ¡°If I drink too much, you¡¯ll take care of me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled from his kiss, and even the air became more ambiguous. She pulled her hand back and said stubbornly, ¡°Who¡¯s taking care of you? If you¡¯re drunk, I¡¯ll throw you onto the main road and let you make the headlines.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyes swept up as he stared at her with burning eyes, as if he wanted to melt her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened, and something shed across her eyes. ¡°You, go back to your room and rest! I¡¯ll go get some water¡­¡± She stood up and was about to leave. Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and gently pulled her into his arms. Before she could react, he lowered his head and kissed her lips. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart beat wildly. She wanted to push him away, but her limbs were soft and she couldn¡¯t exert any strength. Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but her body was hot and her mind was dizzy. She felt like the world was spinning. Jiang Yanshen took the opportunity to deepen the kiss, domineering and unrelenting. There was a faint smell of alcohol between the two of them. It was impossible to tell whose breath it was, and the hot sweat added to her beauty. Jiang Yanshen turned his body and ced her on the soft sofa, wanting to take a step closer. It was rare for Lin Qingqian, who was dizzy, to pull out a trace of rationality. She pressed her hands against his chest and said in a soft voice, ¡°No¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen paused and was in no hurry to suppress it. His warm lipsnded on her cheek, but it was not too intimate. He said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Qianqian, I want you.¡± His burning eyes were filled with desire, as hot as the sun in the sky, making Lin Qingqian not dare to look straight at him. Her soft and boneless hands pushed him persistently as she repeated softly, ¡°No.¡± Her soft voice made Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart race. Jiang Yanshen held her small hand and ced it on his lips. He stared at her with his burning eyes. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Qingqian gritted her teeth and remained silent. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose again. He said in a coaxing tone, ¡°Tell me, why, hm?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart was beating very quickly, and her breathing was rapid. Her face was red and her ears were hot. After a while, she replied in a mosquito-like voice, ¡°We don¡¯t have that¡­ thing at home.¡± Jiang Yan¡¯s heated mind cleared up a little. He lowered his head and pecked her lips, saying in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t consider it carefully.¡± With that, he got up and sat up. Without thatyer of oppression, Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing became much smoother. She slowly sat up and looked at his exquisite facial features from the corner of her eye. There was a hint of struggle in her heart. She was afraid that he would be angry if she rejected him, but if she didn¡¯t¡­ She was not mentally prepared. ¡°Rest first. I¡¯ll go take a shower.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice sounded as he stood uD to leave. Lin Qingqian looked up and saw him stand up. He had just taken a step when he stopped and turned to look at her. ¡°I¡¯m not angry. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± His warm palmnded on her hair and gently rubbed it twice before walking to the bathroom. Lin Qingqian raised her hand and touched the top of her head that he had touched. The tension in her heart rxed. From the corner of her eye, she nced at the cup on the coffee table and picked it up to drink it in one gulp. If she didn¡¯t drink this ss, she would probably not be able to sleep all night. Ren Guangxi called her two dayster. He had thought it through and wanted to try again. Lin Qingqian sent Lu Qinshang¡¯s number to him and asked him to talk to him. She had given him a chance. As for whether he could seize it or not, it depended on Ren Guangxi. As for Sheng Yan, he had lost many endorsements and cooperation opportunities because of those scandals. His team wanted to save him, but they had no chance. At this moment, when Lu Qinshangunched his managementpany, the first artiste to sign a contract with them was Ren Guangxi. This caused quite a stir on the Inte. Originally, Ren Guangxi¡¯spany was unwilling to let him go, but Lu Qinshang went to negotiate personally. Even if the other party didn¡¯t want to give him face, they had to give the Lu family face. As soon as the contract was announced, Ren Guangxi posted on Weibo. Ren Guangxi: ¡°I¡¯ll definitely cherish this rare opportunity. I won¡¯t disappoint you guys this time.¡± There were curses from the anti-fans, but there was nock of his die-hard fans protecting and supporting him. Lin Qingqian left a message below: I look forward to working with you. Ren Guangxi replied: Soon, I¡¯m looking forward to it too. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect him to reply so quickly. After Ren Guangxi signed with Lu Qinshang¡¯spany, his first resource was¡­ White. Other than filming endorsement advertisements, he would also be featured in Z Magazine¡¯s [Summer] issue!! Han Liubai was still in the hospital. That meant that Ren Guangxi¡¯s style had to be personally done by Lin Qingqian. When filming the advertisement, she went to the event location to visit. Coincidentally, Xu Wan was also there.. Chapter 218 - 218: Marrying Me, Jiang Yanshen, Has Been Hard on You, Huh? Chapter 218: Marrying Me, Jiang Yanshen, Has Been Hard on You, Huh? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Xu Wan was wearing a dark blue business attire. Her long hair was tied up, revealing her exquisite facial features. She was wearing a pair of diamond earrings, looking fashionable and capable. She greeted Lin Qingqian with a polite smile. ¡°President Lin.¡± ¡°Secretary Xu,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Her gazended on Ren Guangxi, who was being photographed. ¡°Looks like White values Ren Guangxi very much. Even Secretary Xu has personally taken action.¡± Previously, Sheng Yan had never received such treatment. Xu Wan¡¯s exquisite facial features didn¡¯t change at all. Her red teak-colored lips parted slightly. ¡°White thinks very highly of Ren Guangxi¡¯s future.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°Is that so? I wonder how White discovered Ren Guangxi in such a short period of time?¡± ¡°Actually, we considered him at the beginning, but at that time, he was isted by hispany. We attempted to talk to the managementpany but to no avail.¡± Xu Wan exined patiently, ¡°Now that he¡¯s signed to Lu Qinshang¡¯spany and something happened to Sheng Yan, it can be considered that he¡¯s fated with White.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were narrowed, and there was a smile on her lips. Her gaze shifted to Ren Guangxi and she didn¡¯t continue the conversation. As for Xu Wan¡¯s words, she didn¡¯t believe them. If the first time was a coincidence, and the second time was also a coincidence, then the third time was definitely not. An absurd guess appeared in her heart, but there was no evidence. She couldn¡¯t think of a reason and could only suppress it in her heart. The photographer had to change his equipment and the team got to rest for ten minutes. Ren Guangxi had seen Lin Qingqian long ago. He walked over and greeted Xu Wan first before looking at Lin Qingqian. ¡°President Lin, thank you.¡± If not for her rmendation, he would definitely have returned to the countryside to farm and raise pigs. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°You¡¯re wee. Just call me by my name.¡± Ren Guangxi thought for a moment and called out, ¡°Sister Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and looked at him. He wore the clothes that White provided, but she matched them. She originally thought that he would look good in them, but she didn¡¯t expect the effect to be even better than she had expected. ¡°We¡¯re going to film the main theme of this issue of the magazine after making the advertisement. Do you have any thoughts?¡± Ren Guangxi shook his head. ¡°Aren¡¯t you my styling consultant this time?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I am, but I still have to ask for your opinion. What if you don¡¯t like my suggestion?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ren Guangxi¡¯s facial features were exquisite, and the mncholy he carried made him look aloof, but his eyes were bright as he looked at her. ¡°I believe in Sister Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian could feel his trust and her heart warmed. ¡°Got it. Go and finish your photographs.¡± Ren Guangxi nodded and turned back to the spotlight.. Xu Wan saw their interactions and remained silent. When the news that Ren Guangxi was going to star in the theme of Z¡¯s summer magazine issue, the Inte immediately stirred up with all kinds of opinions. There were people who looked forward to it, and there were also people who questioned Ren Guangxi¡¯s poprity. After all, ¡°Z¡± valued the ability of celebrities very much. At this moment, some alternate ounts revealed that Ren Guangxi had hooked up with a famous stylist and because of this rtionship, he managed to get a rmendation to sign with Lu Qinshang¡¯spany. There were even rumors that in order to support Ren Guangxi, the famous stylist had spent 8 million yuan on a charity event before sessfully seducing Ren Guangxi. A few gossipers led the way. In an instant, the matter between Ren Guangxi and the famous stylist spread like wildfire. Even Vin called to ask Lin Qingqian if this was true. Lin Qingqian was caught betweenughter and tears. Luo Tianxue had even called from Europe toin tearfully. How could she take a fancy to Ren Guangxi? He had no money and was not much more handsome than Lu Dongcheng. Other than being young, he had nothing. Lin Qingqian rified that she didn¡¯t have any improper rtions with Ren Guangxi, but Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t believe her and kept nagging. Lin Qingqian really had no choice but to put her phone aside and let her finish speaking while she started to deal with thements online. Although this kind of news didn¡¯t look lethal, as time passed, theizens would think that it was true. She called Lu Qinshang and asked him to deal with it. Lu Qinshang immediately asked thepany¡¯s public rtions department to publish a rification. Ever since his persona copsed, he didn¡¯t need to hide his true personality anymore and directly forwarded the rification with his main ount. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Unspoken rules? The people I signed are all pure and don¡¯t sell their bodies. If you don¡¯t delete the post, wait to receive awyer¡¯s letter!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s fans immediately jumped out and praised their Big Brother for being so handsome. They happened to like him and also supported Ren Guangxi. No matter what, he was Big Brother¡¯s signed artiste. He was his money tree, so they naturally had to protect him well. Lin Qingqian also asked Su Ying to deny this rumor and repost it herself. Deep Qian V: ¡°The one who said to donate 8 million yuan, remember to transfer the money to me. I¡¯m poor¡­¡± The fans immediately jumped out to defend her and criticize the haters, urging the fashion guru to release a new outfit guide since it has been a while. Hurry up ande out. We¡¯ll transfer money to you! Her words immediately attracted the attention of others. They ran to the charity event¡¯s official website to check the donation list. From the beginning to the end, there were no personal donations from Shi Guang Studio or anyone else. However, they discovered another familiar name ¡ªJiang Yanshen. Rabbit That Gets Fat Even By Eating Vegetables: ¡°The haters nowadays are quiteme. Why didn¡¯t you investigate the rumors first? The 8 million yuan was clearly donated by my husband. Why are you talking about a stylist!¡± Searching The Heavens And Earth For Him: ¡°These people are just hating for the sake of hating. Shameless!¡± I¡¯m Pregnant and Foolish for Three Years I¡¯m Proud: ¡°That¡¯s right. Director Jiang is the most handsome. Does heck a wife? Look at me. If it doesn¡¯t work out, I can even be a mother-inw!¡± Jiang Yanshen Loves My Body. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but the person Director Jiang loves is me.¡± Taking a Sip, Sharing, Jiang Yanshen Craves My Body: ¡°If I had even a single peanut, I wouldn¡¯t be so drunk!¡± Pale Blue in July: ¡°Last night, I was drunk and shouted that I wanted to marry Zhu Yilong. In the end, my husband pressed me down and kissed me fiercely. He said a little jealously: Marrying me, Jiang Yanshen, has been hard on you, huh?¡± Money Fork replied to Pale Blue in July: ¡°You drank so much with the poster above?¡± Still Cold replied to Pale Blue in July: ¡°Cephalosporin plus alcohol, you deserve to have it!¡± When Lin Qingqian saw this hotment, she almost spat out a mouthful of water on the screen. Theizens these days were all talents! Fortunately, the public opinion on the Inte was led astray. #Jiang Yanshen 8 million# even became a trending topic. Tianyue Group, conference room. The long conference table was filled with people. All of them were on tenterhooks, as if they were walking on thin ice. The man sitting in the chairman¡¯s seat had a deep look in his eagle-like eyes, and his exquisite and cold facial features were dignified. Suddenly, Song Qin knocked on the door and entered. The meeting was interrupted. Song Qin walked to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side and leaned over to whisper in his ear. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp ck eyes suddenly lit up. He nced at Song Qin and stood up to button his suit. His voice was cold. ¡°Meeting adjourned.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the conference room, leaving a group of executives looking at each other. A second ago, they were about to fall into hell. Now, they have returned to the mortal world? The higher-ups closest to Song Qin couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Secretary Song, what happened?¡± Song Qin turned to look at him and revealed a professional smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯tment.¡± Then, she shook her head and walked out of the conference room. Jiang Yanshen returned to his office, took out his phone, and opened Weibo. He could already skillfully navigate through the trending topics and find his name. When he clicked on it, it was filled with nonsense. He looked at the other trending topics and roughly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter. Song Qin walked in. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ve already contacted them. The organizer said that Madam had donated 8 million yuan in your name.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he said, ¡°Get the public rtions department to remove the trending topics and clear up the negative news about Shi Guang Studio.¡± Song Qin was not surprised to hear his words. ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen opened WeChat. The chat record at the top was Lin Qingqian. His well-defined fingers tapped on the keyboard and he quickly typed out a message and sent it over. Jiang Yanshen: Aren¡¯t you very poor? Why are you donating money in my name? The other party replied quickly. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: ¡°I¡¯m not that poor. I¡¯ll help you umte good karma. ¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she was afraid that he wouldn¡¯t ept the money for that dress, so she donated it in his name. Jiang Yanshen: Let¡¯s have dinner after work? Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: No, I have to work. [Helpless expression] Jiang Yanshen: I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to order food for you. I¡¯ll pick you up after you¡¯re done. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Alright. Jiang Yanshen opened the WeChat circle and saw that she had posted on her Moments. It was her office. Other thanputers and daily office supplies, there was also a pot of green cactus. He called Lu Yuan to deliver dinner to Lin Qingqian and also buy him a pot of cactus. When Lu Yuan returned, he brought the cactus he had bought into the office. Jiang Yanshen nced at it and said coldly, ¡°No, buy another one.¡± Lu Yuan didn¡¯t know what was wrong but he didn¡¯t dare to ask, so he could only hurry to buy another one. When he returned more than ten minutester, Jiang Yanshen took another look and said coldly, ¡°No, buy another one.¡± Lu Yuan: ¡°¡­ I¡® After running back and forth five to six times until the flower shop was closed, Jiang Yanshen still said no. Lu Yuan really couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and asked, ¡°Director Jiang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at him coldly. ¡°It won¡¯t work if it¡¯s different from the one in Qianqian¡¯s office.¡± Lu Yuan: F*ck!! You should have said so earlier!!! Lu Yuan hurriedly sent a WeChat message to Lin Qingqian to ask where she had bought the cactus. Although Lin Qingqian looked puzzled, she still replied. Lu Yuan hurriedly bought it and sent it into the office before the shop closed. Jiang Yanshen personally tidied up the desk and ced the cactus in a simr position to the cactus on Lin Qingqian¡¯s desk. He sprayed some water with a small watering can and said in a low and cold voice, ¡°No one is allowed to touch it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yuanined in his heart. No one wants to touch it either. Thank you. Jiang Yanshen asked him to go out and sat down to work. His attention would always be subconsciously attracted by the cactus on the table. As soon as he saw it, he would think of that simple and elegant face. At the thought of it, he couldn¡¯t concentrate on his work. In the end, he gave up on the idea of working. He stood up and walked to the clothes rack to take off his suit. As he put it on, he walked out of the office. Lu Yuan had just sat down when he saw hime out.. He hurriedly stood up and said, ¡°Director Jiang, where are you going?¡± Chapter 219 - 219: Director Jiang Loves Qjanqian More Chapter 219: Director Jiang Loves Qjanqian More Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Director Jiang replied without thinking, ¡°Fetch Madam home.¡± Lin Qingqian started working after eating the dinner sent by Lu Yuan. The rest of thepany had gone off work. Only her office was still lit. Her long hair was tied into a bun, and she had golden-framed sses on her nose. Her in cheongsam hugged her beautiful figure. Her chest, waist, and legs were all seductive. When Jiang Yanshen walked into the office, he saw this scene. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and his throat tightened. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and said, ¡°Go out and wait.¡± Lu Yuan, who had yet to look at the office, was chased out just like that. Jiang Yanshen stood rooted to the ground and quietly watched her take the measurements of the mannequin model with a soft ruler as she recorded something on the paper with a pen. Then, she took out a dark cheongsam from the clothes rack beside her and put it on the model. She also took out an emerald bracelet and put it on the model¡¯s wrist to take a photo. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep gazended on her slender legs, and his throat tightened. Lin Qingqian sensed a gaze on her. She turned around and saw him standing at the office door. Joy surged in her clear eyes. ¡°Why are you here? Didn¡¯t you say that you would wait for me to finish my work?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked into the office and looked at her with burning eyes. ¡°I want to see you.¡± So I came. He didn¡¯t say the remaining three words, but Lin Qingqian understood. She walked forward and held his hand, her voice clear and sweet. ¡°But I¡¯m not done yet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Go about your business.¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but lower his head and kiss her red lips. Lin Qingqian¡¯s cheeks couldn¡¯t help but heat up, especially when his eyes looked so dreamy. ¡°Then sit first. I¡¯ll be done in a while.¡± With that, she went to pour him more water, using her own cup. Jiang Yanshen took the cup and saw that thendscape painting on the cup was pleasing to the eye. When he looked at her again, she had already returned to her desk. ¡°Why did you suddenly think of wearing a cheongsam?¡± ¡°My clothes were identally stained by the coffee, so I took out the cheongsam Master gave me to wear.¡± Fortunately, she had a good figure and I could fit in it. Jiang Yanshen drank his water without saying anything. Lin Qingqian connected her phone to theputer and sent the photo out. Sensing that he was looking at her, she shifted her gaze to him. ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°You look very good in a cheongsam.¡± Jiang Yanshen was not stingy with his praise for her, his eyes filled with joy. Lin Qingqian smiled and continued working, ignoring him. Jiang Yanshen took out his phone and took two photos of her. He didn¡¯t use any filters, and she didn¡¯t have any makeup on. However, the person in the photos looked as beautiful as a scene in a movie. Any frame could be screenshotted as a screensaver. Lin Qingqian knew that he was filming her, so she ignored him and focused on her work. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and looked at the photos on his phone. He was not in a hurry. When he was done admiring it, he opened the WeChat group. Jiang Yanshen: You there? Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: [The Handsome Me Makes a Shining Appearance.jpg] Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: Big Brother, Big Brother, you¡¯re finally willing to appear! Do you miss your dearest brother, me? Detective Gu: Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: This brotherplex is really shameless. Jiang Yanshen: No, I¡¯m just bored. Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: Heartbroken.jpg Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: F*ck, f*ck, f*ck! Did I hear wrongly? A workaholic actually said that he¡¯s bored! Is the sun rising from the west? Jiang Yanshen: I¡¯m waiting for Qianqian to get off work. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: The Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: Detective Gu: . Jiang Yanshen seemed to not know how they felt and continued to send messages: I feel like I love Qianqian even more now. Everyone: . Jiang Yanshen: Why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: I don¡¯t want to eat this dog food. I¡¯ll kick over your dog bowl and beat your dog head off. Second Young Master of the Jiang Family: ¡°Brother, my father is calling me. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Detective Gu: ¡°The bureau chief called me for a meeting. I¡¯m leaving.¡± This time, it was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s turn to be speechless. An hourter, Lin Qingqian was finally done with her work. She turned off the puter and walked in front of him- ¡°I¡¯m sorry to make you wait so long.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his phone and looked up at her. ¡°Just an apology?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. Lin Qingqian struggled. ¡°I can¡¯t sit like this. The cheongsam will wrinkle.¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard this, he carried her up and walked to the desk, letting her sit on it. ¡°That won¡¯t happen.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at his handsome face that was so close to her and curved her eyebrows. ¡°What exactly do you want to do?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned closer. His warm breath sprayed on her face, and his eyes were burning. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart was jumping wildly. Before she could speak, her lips were sealed by him. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s kiss was even more intense than before, as if he wanted to skin her alive. Lin Qingqian could tn¡¯take it anymore and begged him to be gentle. Jiang Yanshen slowed down and kissed the tip of her nose gently. His voice was hoarse. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to wear a cheongsam outside in the future.¡± It was too beautiful and attracted men too easily. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were watery and colorful. ¡°Director Jiang, are you losing your confidence in yourself?¡± ¡°How can a divorced man have confidence?¡± Jiang Yanshen replied with righteous indignation, even sounding a little aggrieved. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. She took the initiative to rub the tip of his nose, and her light and pleasant voice became a little sweeter. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll only wear it for you to see in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled in satisfaction and kissed her red lips again. By the time Lin Qingqian changed her clothes and was led by him to the car, half an hour had passed. Fortunately, the light was not good. Otherwise, her red and swollen lips couldn¡¯t be hidden even if she wanted to. On the way, Jiang Yanshen asked the chauffeur to stop the car and let Lin Qingqian stay in the car before getting out himself. Ten minutester, he returned with a small ck bag and a vani-vored ice cream. The ice cream was for Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian took it and thanked him. Her gazended on the bag in his hand. ¡°What did you buy?¡± Jiang Yanshen tried to stuff the bag into his pocket, his expression calm. ¡°Nothing. ¡± ¡°If it¡¯s nothing, why can¡¯t you let me see it?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked, looking at him with an expression that said, ¡°Why are you hiding something?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed as he nced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°Do you really want to see it?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Jiang Yanshen opened the bag and handed it to her. With the help of the neon lights that shed past outside the car window, Lin Qingqian vaguely saw the box inside clearly. Her face immediately turned red as she turned her head and red at him. Jiang Yanshen calmly put away the bag and ced it on the other side. Lin Qingqian held the ice cream and turned her head to look out of the window, pretending to be calm and that nothing had happened. However, a certain someone did not let her escape. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, ¡°Can I use it tonight?¡± The heat traveled from her ears to her heart and she felt her entire body heat up. It was as if the air conditioner in the car was not turned on. Jiang Yanshen understood what she meant and his thin lips curled up. ¡°Alright¡­ We won¡¯t use it tonight. I¡¯ll keep it for the future, okay?¡± His low voice was filled with coaxing. Lin Qingqian ignored him again and turned around. Actually, it was not that she was unwilling. It was just that¡­ she didn¡¯t want to let him have his way so easily. When they returned home, Lin Qingqian went to her room to get her clothes and take a shower. Jiang Yanshen followed behind her slowly and¡ª He ced the contents of the ck bag in the second drawer of the bedside table in front of her. This man¡­ Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll throw it away for youter?¡± Jiang Yanshen was not angry. His ck eyes were smiling as he said unhurriedly, ¡°If you throw one box, I¡¯ll buy ten boxes. If you throw ten boxes, I¡¯ll buy a hundred boxes. At that time, I¡¯ll only let you off the bed after we go through all the boxes.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® This threat was too great. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t withstand it and slipped away first. Lin Qingqian finalized with Vin the theme for the Summer issue of Z Magazine after two more meetings. She nned the marketing strategy for updates on Weibo, cooperation negotiations with thepany, and visited Han Liubai. Lin Qingqian has been extremely busy recently. Even Suisui said that she had visibly lost weight again, but she didn¡¯t lose weight in a certain area. She was all kinds of green from envy. Although he was busy, Jiang Yanshen sent her to and fro every day. From time to time, he would also send her WeChat messages, and the content of their conversation was very simple. Whether she had eaten or not, whether she had lunch break, it was just a few words, but it made Lin Qingqian feel his care and concern. After Ren Guangxi finished filming for the magazine, Lu Qinshang immediately helped him contact the recordpany. Next, she would invest in the production of the record. Before he went into seclusion, Ren Guangxi specifically called and mentioned that when the album production is nearlyplete and they need to shoot music videos and promotional photos, he hopes she can personally help him with it. Lin Qingqian agreed without hesitation and told him to rx and make the music well. Nowadays, all the singers in the entertainment industry had gone to act, and those who acted had gone to participate in variety shows. There were not many people like Ren Guangxi who focused on music. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. When it was the hottest time in Lan City, Han Liubai was finally discharged. Lin Qingqian, Suisui, and Su Ying came to pick him up from the hospital early in the morning. Han Liubai took the flowers from Lin Qingqian and smiled faintly. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to pick me up from the hospital. I can go back by myself.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my capable subordinate. How can I not pick you up when you¡¯re discharged?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and asked Su Ying to settle the discharge procedures for him. Han Liubai looked at her and smiled, thanking her. Lin Qingqian drove personally, and Han Liubai sat in the front passenger seat. Suisui and Su Ying sat in the back. Along the way, the four of them chatted andughed as they quickly arrived at Han Liubai¡¯s neighborhood. Han Liubai opened the door and Suisui was the first to rush in. She couldn¡¯t help but turn around and say, ¡°Xiao Bai, are you living in such a huge house alone?¡± Han Liubai nodded. ¡°My parents are not around, and my rtives don¡¯t interact. I¡¯ve always lived alone.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Suisui, change your shoes.¡± ¡°No need. There will be part- timersing to clean upter.¡± Han Liubai let them do whatever they wanted and went to the kitchen to take out a few bottles of water. ¡°Sorry, I haven¡¯t been back for too long. This is all I have in the fridge!¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite good. It quenches your thirst.¡± Lin Qingqian took the mineral water and took a sip before saying, ¡°You don¡¯t have anything to eat at home. Why don¡¯t we go buy some ingredients for you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself¡­¡± Before Han Liubai could finish speaking, he was interrupted. ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. We want to eat lunch too. It¡¯s too troublesome to go out. We¡¯ll buy it back and make it ourselves.¡± ¡°Alright, I know how to cook,¡± Su Ying agreed. Suisui raised her hand. ¡°I know how to eat.¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her and immediately divided the work. ¡°Suisui and I will go out to buy ingredients. Su Ying, stay behind to clean up the kitchen and wash all the kitchen utensils.¡± Su Ying agreed readily. ¡°Alright.¡± Han Liubai looked at her.. ¡°What about me?¡± Chapter 220 - 220: Xiao Bai’s Identity Chapter 220: Xiao Bai¡¯s Identity Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He looked at her with clear eyes like a kindergarten child on an autumn trip waiting for the teacher to assign him a mission. He looked very obedient. ¡°You!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. She grabbed his wrist and walked to the sofa to let him sit down. ¡°Rest well and wait for dinner.¡± With that, she asked Su Ying to keep an eye on him and not let him move. Su Ying smiled and agreed. Only then did Lin Qingqian bring Suisui out to shop. Han Liubai could only watch helplessly as they left. Su Ying went to the kitchen to wash the tea set. She washed the kettle inside and out and boiled a pot of hot water. She found tea leaves in the cupboard and made a cup of tea. When she walked out of the kitchen, she didn¡¯t see Han Liubai, so she carried the teacup to the second floor. Han Liubai¡¯s house was decorated very simply. The white walls and ck furniture made it look especially cold and deste. There were several rooms upstairs. Su Ying didn¡¯t know which room he was in. She called out twice, but there was no response. She casually pushed open the nearest room. This was a study. The wall-sized bookshelf was filled with all kinds of books. There was aputer on the ck desk, an external keyboard, and a pen holder. Su Ying knew that she shouldn¡¯t barge into someone else¡¯s study, but she couldn¡¯t help but walk in curiously and take a few more nces. This was Designer Han¡¯s study. It was where he worked. It was as simple as the outside. There were no decorations, and it was so cold that it didn¡¯t have the aura of home. She walked to the desk and put down the teacup. Her gaze was attracted by the documents ced beside her. The documents were all in English, and there were many professional words. She didn¡¯t read much, but she recognized a word¡ªWhite. There was also his signature¡ªHan Liubai. Her almond-shaped eyes widened involuntarily, and her breathing stopped. A clear voice suddenly sounded behind her. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Su Ying was shocked and identally knocked over the teacup, causing the tea to spill all over the desk. ¡°Ah! I-I¡¯m sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± She apologized anxiously and clumsily. Han Liubai¡¯s gazended on the documents on the table. A cold glint shed across his eyes, but there was no change in his expression. He walked forward and ced the documents that were not wet into the drawer without changing his expression. He looked up and saw Su Ying wiping the desk with a tissue in a hurry. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You don¡¯t have to apologize.¡± His voice was still gentle, as if he had no temper at all. Su Ying lowered her head and was so anxious that she was about to cry. ¡°I¡¯m really, really sorry¡­ I just wanted to pour you a cup of tea¡­ I¡­¡¯ Han Liubai held her hand that was red from the hot water. Only then did Su Ying look up at him, her eyes filled with tears. ¡°I already said it¡¯s fine,¡± he said gently. ¡°Your hand is red. Go and wash it with cold water. Leave this to me.¡± ¡°But¡­¡¯ Su Ying bit her lip. Before she could finish speaking, he interrupted, ¡°Be good.¡± She hesitated for a moment before nodding and turning to leave. Han Liubai watched her back disappear at the door. He turned around and looked at the tea leaves on the table, his gentle eyes gradually turning cold. An hourter, Lin Qingqian and Suisui walked in with tworge bags each. As soon as she entered, Suisui sat on the ground. ¡°Oh my god, I really don¡¯t want to go out with Qianqian to buy anything again. I¡¯m so tired.¡± Han Liubai walked over from the living room. When he saw the things at the door, heughed. ¡°Why did you buy so much?¡± ¡°Suisui eats a lot. How can we stuff her mouth if we don¡¯t buy more?¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. Suisui raised her head and stuck out her pink tongue. Han Liubai reached out to take the things from her hand. ¡°Give it to me.¡± ¡°No need!¡± ¡°Give it to me.¡± His tone was rarely serious. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t dissuade him, so she could only hand the things to him. When Han Liubai took it, he saw her reddened palm and couldn¡¯t help but frown. The two of them walked into the kitchen. Su Ying had washed everything. When she saw them enter, her eyes swept across Han Liubai¡¯s face and looked at Lin Qingqian. She pretended that nothing had happened and called her Sister Qingqian. When Lin Qingqian saw the washed kitchen utensils, she said that she had worked hard. Su Ying shook her head to show that it was not difficult. Han Liubai ced the things on the washing table. When he opened it, he saw all kinds of vegetables, various seasonings, and drinks. The other bag was filled with all kinds of fresh fruits. ¡°You bought too much. The four of us can¡¯t finish it,¡± Han Liubai said helplessly. Lin Qingqian opened the fridge. Indeed, it was as empty as Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fridge. Other than mineral water, there was nothing else. ¡°The fruits are for you to eat slowly. Some vegetables are also very simple to prepare. If you don¡¯t know how to make them, I¡¯ll write a recipe for youter.¡± Han Liubai stood at the side and watched as she skillfully ced the things in the fridge in an orderly manner. His gentle eyes lit up as he agreed softly. The kitchen was very big and could amodate 10 people at once. However, when Su Ying looked at the two of them, she inexplicably felt that she was unnecessary, so she silently went out. At noon, Su Ying cooked while Lin Qingqian helped her. Han Liubai was ¡°exiled¡± outside the kitchen by them, so he could only y chess with Suisui. Suisui¡¯s chess skills were very bad. She would regret her moves and pull her pieces back for no reason. Han Liubai wasn¡¯t angry and let her y as she wished. Suisui felt that it was a pity. Qianqian had actually missed out on such a good-tempered man. Then, she thought of Lu Qinshang¡¯s words: Forget it. No matter how bad the Dog of a man is, he¡¯s still my idol¡¯s brother. My idol¡¯s brother will be my dog of a brother! He can barely be epted as Qianqian¡¯s partner. Han Liubai had just been discharged from the hospital and couldn¡¯t drink. The other three were all girls who didn¡¯t drink as well. They used normal beverages to rece alcohol to congratte him on being discharged from the hospital, wishing him a future free from illnesses and disasters. Among the four of them, Suisui ate the most heartlessly. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t eat much, and Han Liubai ate even less. Lin Qingqian sat beside Su Ying and sensed that her emotions didn¡¯t seem to be right. She asked with concern, ¡°Xiao Ying, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Ying, who was in a daze, came back to her senses and secretly nced at Han Liubai, who was sitting opposite her. She forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine, Sister Qingqian.¡± ¡°Then why aren¡¯t you eating? You¡¯ve been in a daze.¡± Su Ying: ¡°Perhaps I choked on the oil and smoke while cooking and lost my appetite. I¡¯ll just eat some fruits.¡± Lin Qingqian was a little apologetic. ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have let you do everything. It¡¯s easy to spoil your appetite to cook in this weather.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, Sister Qingqian. I¡¯ll just treat it as losing weight.¡± She tried her best to pretend that she was fine. Lin Qingqian reached out and fiddled with the bangs covering her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯te to the office in the afternoon. Go home and rest.¡± Su Ying pursed her lips and smiled, not rejecting her kindness. Han Liubai served the vegetables to Lin Qingqian. When he put down the chopsticks, he nced at Su Ying¡­ Su Ying met his gaze and quickly lowered her head. She bit her lower lip even harder. Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes to eat, but from the corner of her eye, she saw the abnormality between the two of them. After the meal, Lin Qingqian insisted on not letting Su Ying and Han Liubai wash the dishes and captured Suisui to be aborer. As Suisui washed the dishes, she sighed. ¡°The happiest thing in the world is eating. The most painful thing is washing the dishes after eating.¡± Lin Qingqian wiped the bowl at the side. ¡°Don¡¯t joke around.. Did you notice that there¡¯s something wrong between Xiao Ying and Xiao Bai?¡± Chapter 221 - 221: Qjngqian Was Scolded Again Chapter 221: Qjngqian Was Scolded Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui blinked. ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the kitchen door and confirmed that there was no one around. She guessed, ¡°Could it be that Xiao Ying was rejected after confessing to Xiao Bai?¡± Suisui said weakly, ¡°Maybe.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her. Sensing the murderous aura, Suisui immediately stood up straight and washed the dishes seriously. ¡°Aiya, let them settle their own matters. If she really confessed and was rejected, can you still hold Xiao Bai¡¯s head and force him to ept her?¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and nodded. ¡°You¡¯re right!¡± Rtionships couldn¡¯t be forced. Moreover, Xiao Ying was a sensitive girl. If she asked too much, she was afraid that she would hurt her pride. After packing up, in order not to dy Han Liubai¡¯s rest, they bade farewell. Han Liubai sent them to the door. The sun was too bright outside, and Lin Qingqian insisted that he stay inside. She quickly drove away and sent Su Ying home before bringing Suisui back to thepany. The car stopped at the entrance of Su Ying¡¯s neighborhood. Su Ying, who was in the front passenger seat, unbuckled her seatbelt and said, ¡°Thank you Sister Qingqian¡± before getting out of the car. From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian saw Suisui, who had fallen into a deep sleep after eating, and called out to her. Su Ying paused and turned to look at her. ¡°Sister Qingqian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian deliberated over her words and said, ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy about anything, remember to tell us. We might not be of much help, but at least it¡¯ll be morefortable to say it.¡± A trace of confusion shed across Su Ying¡¯s almond-shaped eyes as she shook her head. ¡°No, there¡¯s nothing unhappy.¡± Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t interrogate her and said with a faint smile, ¡°Go back and rest quickly.¡± Su Ying got out of the car and took a few steps. She didn¡¯t hear any movement and turned around to see that she was still in the same ce. She hesitated for a moment before turning back. ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was starting the car stopped. She looked up at her outside the car window. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Ying nced at Suisui, who was sleeping soundly in the back of the car. She hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Sister Qingqian, what will you do if you find out that your friends have deceived you one day?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this?¡± ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯m just asking casually. Can you answer me?¡± Lin Qingqian met her firm gaze, as if she was very stubborn about this question. After thinking for a moment, she replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know either. It might depend on whether the other party has done anything to let me down and to what extent.¡± Su Ying lowered her eyes and muttered, ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her inquisitively. ¡°Xiao Ying, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Su Ying came back to her senses and saw her shake her head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Sister Qingqian, drive safely. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± With that, she turned around and walked towards the district in a hurry, as if she was afraid that Lin Qingqian would get out of the car and continue questioning her. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t roll up the car window. Instead, she looked at her back quietly. Doubts surged in her heart, but she couldn¡¯t guess the answer. As soon as the new issue of Z Magazine was released, it made the trending headlines. The reason was that the theme in the background was ¡°Ice and Fire¡±. Half of the background was covered with a cier and the other half featured a raging me. Ren Guangxi¡¯s clothes also stood out in the same way. His cold and mncholic eyes were filled with a burning light and an icy unmeltable coldness. His exquisite facial features attracted the attention of many idol chasing girls. Manyizens praised that Qianqian was really an immortal. The theme of both magazine issues were breathtaking and her imagination was amazing. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans naturally wanted to take this opportunity to brag about the goddess in their hearts. Ren Guangxi¡¯s fans also rushed over to thank her. On the other hand, Luo Tianxue¡¯s fans ran over to criticize her. Why didn¡¯t she style Tianxue? To think that their darling even gave her so much money. She took the money but didn¡¯t do anything.. Trash! Chapter 222 - 222: If There’s Light in Your Heart, There’s Sun Under Your Feet Chapter 222: If There¡¯s Light in Your Heart, There¡¯s Sun Under Your Feet Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions This was because this fan was still considered influential. Her words carried some weight, and some fans who had no standing followed over to scold Lin Qingqian. For a moment, Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans and Luo Tianxue began to fight and even reached the trending topics. A passer-by who clicked on it couldn¡¯t help butin, ¡°What¡¯s so remarkable about this Qian girl? Topping the hot search list every day, did she sign up for a yearly hot search subscription?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fan base was small and couldn¡¯tpare to Luo Tianxue¡¯s. Coupled with the fact that she was frequently on the trending searches and ruined the browsing experience of regrizens, she was scolded quite miserably for a moment. When Lin Qingqian saw this, she couldn¡¯t help but rub her eyebrows. She was just a stylist. Why would she take out a yearly hot search subscription? Did she have too much money? There were really too many boredizens these days. Before she could think of how to post, Luo Tianxue had already posted on weibo. Luo Tianxue: ¡°I¡¯m the one who spent the money but I didn¡¯t say anything. What right do you have to speak up for me? Qianqian is my good friend. No one is allowed to nder her!¡± As soon as this Weibo post was uploaded, thements immediately became prized. On the one hand, the ss fans felt that they had been rebuked and their hearts turned cold. They kept saying that she was not worthy of the fans who supported her. On the other hand, the rational fans supported Luo Tianxue. It was a matter of their idol making friends, and the fans shouldn¡¯t interfere. Then, #Luo Tianxue vs. fans# became a trending topic. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t need to guess to know that she must have made this post withoutmunicating with Brother Ming. When she called, her tone was rather helpless. ¡°Can¡¯t you discuss things with your managementpany before posting on Weibo?¡± It was too easy to lose poprity like this. On the other end of the phone, Luo Tianxue said in a disapproving tone, ¡°I¡¯m the boss of thepany. Who should I discuss it with?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® She was actually speechless. Luo Tianxue: ¡°Oh, don¡¯t worry about it. Isn¡¯t it just a bunch of troublemakers? Let them unfollow if they want, let them criticize if they want. I¡¯m more beautiful than them anyway, and I¡¯m wealthier than them too. Why should I be afraid of them?¡± Compared to the other celebrities who licked their fans in all kinds of postures, Luo Tianxue was simply a clear stream in the entertainment industry. If one thought about it carefully, it was because her family owns a mine! ¡°Speaking of which, you¡¯ve rested for quite a long time. When are youing back to support my business?¡± Lin Qingqian calcted that it had been a while since she had earned her money. ¡°Brother Ming took on a few jobs for me. I was toozy to do those, so I asked Lu Dongcheng to pay to terminate the contracts.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® She suddenly didn¡¯t want to talk to this prodigal girl. ¡°Aiya, I saw a handsome young man with chest muscles and thick abs. I¡¯ll talk to youter. I¡¯ll bring you a gift when Ie back. Muacks!¡± Before she could finish speaking, the call ended. Lin Qingqian: It was good to be rich enough to be willful with money. With themotion caused by Luo Tianxue, she was no longer on the trending searches. She didn¡¯t even receive any negativements. She thought for a moment and posted a message on Weibo. ¡°If you don¡¯t know the full picture, don¡¯tment. If there¡¯s light in your heart, there¡¯s sun under your feet. In today¡¯s online world, people tend to follow the crowd without considering the truth. Manyizens simply echo whatever others say,pletely disregarding the actual facts and always assuming the worst intentions of others. She logged out of Weibo and opened WeChat. When she saw the message from Jiang Yanshen at noon, her eyes couldn¡¯t help but turn into crescents. At such a young age, why bother getting upset over social media posts? It¡¯s better to focus on dating and enjoy the pleasant moments in life. Lin Qingqian got off work early and didn¡¯t wait for Jiang Yanshen to pick her up. Instead, she personally drove to Tianyue Group. On the way, she passed by a popr coffee shop and even went down to line up to buy two cups of coffee. Lin Qingqian was not an employee of Tianyue Group, so her car couldn¡¯t enter the parking lot. She could only park by the roadside and get out of the car with two cups of coffee. After walking into the Tianyue Group building, she walked to the front desk and said gently, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m looking for Director Jiang.¡± The youngdy at the front desk couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. She was attracted by the light-colored dress she was wearing. She looked gentle and demure in it, making her look super good. Hence, her attitude became very friendly. ¡°May I ask if you have an appointment?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°No.¡± The youngdy at the front desk looked apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t let you go up without an appointment.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was a little disappointed. She could only me herself for never daring to visit Jiang Yanshen at hispany in the past, despite being so attached to him. She was afraid of making him angry, so even though everyone in the whole city knew about her, they didn¡¯t recognize her. Seeing that she was a little disappointed, the front deskdy said considerately, ¡°If you can¡¯t contact Director Jiang directly, you can wait for him over there.¡± Lin Qingqian followed her gaze and saw a set of beige sofas ced in front of the French windows. She could still see the setting sun. She thanked her and walked over to sit down to wait. When the youngdy at the front desk saw her side profile, she couldn¡¯t help but take out her phone to secretly take a photo of her and send it to the staff group. Front desk mini: A woman looking for Director Jiang hase to the hall. She¡¯s very good-looking and has a good temperament! Financial Secretary Lulu: ¡°It¡¯s just a side profile. There¡¯s no frontal evidence!¡± Secretary Anna: ¡°Looks like your methods are not bad!!!¡± IT Department Haru: ¡°I can tell at a nce that she¡¯s my type. Quick, show me a frontal photo. If she¡¯s not bad, I¡¯ll go down and chase after her.¡± Front desk Mini: You¡¯re thinking too much. She¡¯s here to look for Director Jiang. How can she like you! Logistics Department¡¯s Auntie Liu: I like the clothes she¡¯s wearing. Mini, go and ask where she bought them from. I want to buy one too!! Financial Secretary Lulu: ¡°Auntie Liu! Please, you¡¯re almost 50 years old. Don¡¯t think about pretending to be a young girl. I¡¯ll buy it!! Manager of the Public rtions department: ¡°Um, I want to buy it too!¡± Many people followed suit and wanted to buy it. Little Sister Mini hesitated for a moment before mustering her courage to walk over. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and shifted her gaze from the cell phone to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Um, I want to ask where you bought your clothes?¡± Mini asked expectantly. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°You¡¯re talking about this? I made it myself previously.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Mini immediately became dispirited. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°You like it?¡± The Mini nodded crazily. ¡°I like it. I like it very much!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll make one for you next time!¡± Lin Qingqian said generously. ¡°Really?¡± Mini¡¯s eyes widened, filled with disbelief and joy. Lin Qingqian nodded and sized up her body. ¡°You¡¯re wearing an S size, so you should be a B+, right?¡± Mini nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! You¡¯re so awesome. Are you a designer?¡± ¡°Sort of!¡± Lin Qingqian replied vaguely. She was naturally not as good at designing as a professional, but she knew a little more than ordinary people. Mini looked at her with even more admiration and subconsciously started chatting with her. ¡°Why are you looking for Director Jiang?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could answer, she heard her say, ¡°Let me guess. Are you trying to woo our Director Jiang?¡± Lin Qingqian felt that she was quite cute and wanted to tease her. ¡®What if I say Mini curled her lips and shook her head. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so good-looking. There will definitely be many good men who like you.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Isn¡¯t your Director Jiang good?¡± Mini thought for a moment and replied, ¡®Director Jiang is not bad. He¡¯s rich and handsome, but he¡¯s too cold and strict.. He pulls a long face every day and frowns bitterly. Every time I see him, I feel afraid. If I put him outside, the sun will probably freeze!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help butugh out loud. So there were also women who didn¡¯t like Jiang Yanshen. Seeing herugh, Mini couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Don¡¯t doubt me. I¡¯m serious. It must be very difficult to woo a man like Director Jiang who doesn¡¯t understand romance and only knows how to work! ! ¡± ¡°Say that again!¡± A cold voice suddenly sounded behind her. Mini turned around. ¡°I said that Director Jiang is very difficult¡­¡¯ Her voice stopped abruptly, and her breathing stopped. Jiang Yanshen stood five steps away from her. He was wearing a ck shirt and his straight legs were stuffed into his suit pants. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, looking handsome. However, his ck eyes were slightly stunned, and there was still some sweat on his forehead. ¡°D-Director Jiang¡­ I, I¡¯ll go back to work!¡± With that, Mini ran. The pain in her feet made her tears fall, but she didn¡¯t dare to stop. Meanwhile, the elevator was filled with onlookers. Miniined to them with tears in her eyes, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me that Director Jiang came down!¡± Lu Yuan ced his hands on his hips and revealed a smile as if he was watching a show. ¡°If I tell you, we won¡¯t have an interesting show to watch!¡± Mini red at him bitterly. If I¡¯m fired, I¡¯ll see who can help you receive your figurines in the future!! Lu Yuan nced at the resting area and signaled with his eyes: Don¡¯t worry, you won¡¯t get fired tonight! Jiang Yanshen looked at the woman sitting on the sofa. The sunlight shone on her body, as if she was wearing a multicolored robe. Her eyshes were painted golden. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you inform me?¡± If not for Lu Yuaning into the office and showing him his phone, he wouldn¡¯t have known until now. Lin Qingqian picked up another cup of coffee and stood up to pass it to him. ¡°I got off work early and came to pick you up.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the coffee from her hand and picked up her handbag. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go up first.¡± He hade down in a hurry. He hadn¡¯t finished dealing with his documents and left his clothes upstairs as well. He couldn¡¯t leave directly. Lin Qingqian smiled and followed behind him, walking into the elevator. As for those who were watching the show, they had long been chased away by Lu Yuan. If they didn¡¯t leave now, they would be waiting to be fired! This was the first time Lin Qingqian had entered Jiang Yanshen¡¯s office, and she sized up the surroundings with a curious gaze. Jiang Yanshen put down the coffee and his bag, turned around, hugged her slender waist, and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Lin Qingqian was shocked by his unexpected kiss, and her hands trembled so much that she almost spilled the coffee. ¡°Why did you suddenly kiss me?¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, but her tone was not reproachful at all. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hot palm grabbed her slender waist tightly, and the tip of his nose rubbed against hers. ¡°You provoked me first.¡± Lin Qingqian was so angry that sheughed. ¡°Director Jiang, doesn¡¯t your conscience hurt when you say this?¡± Jiang Yanshen took the coffee from her hand and ced it on the table. He pulled her to a chair and sat down. Lin Qingqian naturally sat on his sturdy thigh. Jiang Yanshen looked up and pecked her cheek affectionately. ¡®Why didn¡¯t you send me a WeChat message when you arrived?¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up. ¡°I didn¡¯t want to disturb your work. Moreover¡­ how would I know your image in your employees¡¯ hearts?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°Bitter hatred!¡± Lin Qingqian summarized. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Seeing that he refused to admit it, the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips deepened. ¡°But I think she¡¯s quite right about one thing.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes shed.. ¡°What?¡± Chapter 223 - 223: You I re Really Difficult to Woo Chapter 223: You I re Really Difficult to Woo Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian caught the curiosity in his eyes and deliberately fell silent for a moment before saying slowly, ¡°You¡¯re really very difficult to woo.¡± Back then, she had chased after him for four years, but he didn¡¯t react at all!! If it were any other man, they would have gotten married long ago! Yanshen reallv couldn¡¯t denv it. His lips that were kissing her face slowly moved towards her red lips, and his voice was low and hoarse. ¡°You don¡¯t have to woo me this time. I¡¯ll woo you.¡± A smile appeared on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips as her slender wrist wrapped around his neck. Just as the two of them were kissing, their cell phones suddenly rang. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t seem to hear it. Lin Qingqian pushed his chest. ¡°Answer the call.¡± ¡°No!¡± He looked up and eagerly searched for her lips. Lin Qingqian turned her head to the side and dodged. Her soft voice couldn¡¯t hide her coquettishness. ¡°Hurry up. What if there¡¯s something urgent!¡± Jiang Yanshen had no choice but to give up on the idea of continuing. He picked up his phone and ced it by his ear, and the smile on his lips instantly froze. A momentter, he said concisely, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back immediately.¡± Seeing that his expression was not right, Lin Qingqian asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her. He put down his phone and swept her long hair behind her ears. ¡°Grandma is back. Do you want to meet her with Lin Qingqian was also stunned. ¡°Why did Grandma suddenlye back?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Jiang Yanshen shook his head. ¡°It might be because of her birthday, or it might be because of Li Gun.¡± Previously, Li Gun¡¯s matter had caused a storm in the city. The olddy was in Jiang City, and Jiang Yanshen had given a strict order not to let the news of it spread to the olddy. The olddy didn¡¯t know at the moment, but after so long, it was hard to guarantee that the news wouldn¡¯t leak and the olddy would hear some rumors. When Lin Qingqian thought of how good the olddy was, she was also worried that she would be angered when she returned. She immediately nodded and followed him back to the Jiang family to take a look. Jiang Yanshen let go of her and stood up to walk to the clothes rack to take his suit. Lin Qingqian nced at the cactus on his desk, her eyes bright. ¡®Why do you have a pot of cactus like mine?¡± Some cacti looked simr, but there were not many flower pots with the same pattern. Jiang Yanshen paused. There was no change in his exquisite facial features as he replied seriously, ¡°I bought it casually.¡± Lin Qingqian replied with an ¡°Oh¡±. He could casually buy the exact same one. Seeing that he was pretending to be serious, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to expose him. Before leaving, Jiang Yanshen brought the coffee she had bought. When they arrived at the Jiang residence, the sun had already set, leaving only the light of the afterglow to hold up thest bit of light. Jiang Yanshen held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and helped her out of the car. They had just stepped through the door when a ck shadow suddenly jumped out¡ª ¡°Surprise!¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian: Seeing that the two of them were expressionless, Jiang Yunshen was immediately unhappy. ¡°Please! You haven¡¯t seen me for so long. Can¡¯t you show a little surprise and joy?¡± ¡°No!¡± Jiang Yanshen replied heartlessly and pulled Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand towards the living room. Just as she reached the door of the living room, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and her back clearly stiffened. Lin Qingqian sensed that something was wrong and followed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze to the sofa in the living room¡­ She didn¡¯t see Grandma. Instead, she saw an unfamiliar middle-aged couple. The woman was wearing a rose-red dress and a in silk waistcoat. The man was wearing a white cotton shirt. His facial features were ordinary, especially his eyes. The outer corners of his eyes were higher than the inner corners. The axis of his eyes was tilted upwards, and the outer corners were raised. To put it simply, it was an inverted triangr eye. His eyes were sharp and cold. When he stared at someone, it made one feel ufortable. For example, at this moment, when Lin Qingqian met his gaze, she felt a strong sense of difort. His gaze moved away from Lin Qingqian andnded on Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Yanshen, it¡¯s been many years.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat moved slightly. After a moment of silence, he pursed his thin lips and said, ¡°Second Uncle, Second Aunt.¡± There was no emotion in his cold voice. A hint of surprise shed through Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. The couple in front of her were none other than Jiang Yunsen¡¯s parents, his uncle Jiang Chongjing. Jiang Chongjing¡¯s wife¡¯s surname was Wu and her name was Su Yun. She stood up with Jiang Chongjing and looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°This must be Miss Lin.¡± ¡°Hello, Second Master Jiang and Second Madam Jiang.¡± Lin Qingqian could sense Jiang Yanshen¡¯s suppressed emotions and her attitude towards them was rtively calm. Wu Suyun revealed a gentle smile. ¡°With your rtionship with Yanshen, you don¡¯t have to address us so distantly. Just address me as Second Aunt like Yanshen.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips politely and didn¡¯t say anything. Jiang Yunshen sensed that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly said, ¡°Big Brother, Grandma is resting upstairs.¡± Only then did Jiang Yanshen retract his gaze and lower his head to say to Lin Qingqian, ¡°Let¡¯s go and see Grandma.¡± His voice was clearly not so cold anymore. Lin Qingqian met his gaze and nodded before following him upstairs. It was only when Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian¡¯s backs disappeared into the corridor on the second floor that Jiang Chongjing sat down and snorted coldly. Wu Suyun also sat down and didn¡¯t say anything. She only handed him the teacup. Jiang Chongjing waved it away without even looking. The teacup was knocked over and the hot tea scalded her hand, causing her to gasp in pain. ¡°Mom!¡± Jiang Yunshen saw that she was scalded and hurriedly squatted down to help her take a look. Wu Suyun shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The water isn¡¯t hot.¡± ¡°Your hand is red from the burn. How can it not be hot!¡± Jiang Yunshen turned his head unhappily and red at his father. ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you know Big Brother¡¯s temper? Since you decided toe back, you should have expected it. Why are you still venting your anger on Mom?¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s triangr eyes stared at him coldly. ¡°Is this how you talk to your father?¡± ¡°It¡¯s clearly you¡ª¡± Before Jiang Yunshen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Suyun. ¡°Alright, Mom is fine. Don¡¯t talk to your Dad like that.¡± Jiang Yunshen nced at Jiang Chongjing and then at his mother, who hadpromised. He felt very aggrieved. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered with you two.¡± With that, he turned around and went upstairs. Jiang Chongjing was furious. ¡°Look, you¡¯re the one who spoiled this good-tor-nothing! ! ¡± Wu Suyun lowered her head and listened to his scolding. She didn¡¯t even say a word. Seeing that his scolding was like punching cotton, Jiang Chongjing couldn¡¯t be bothered to open his mouth anymore and left. Jiang Yanshen knocked on the door. When he heard the sound from inside, he pushed open the door and pulled Lin Qingqian into the room. Madam Liu was handing water to the olddy. When she saw them enter, she said happily, ¡°Old Madam, look who¡¯s here.¡± Old Madam Jiang looked up and saw the two of them, especially when they were holding hands. Her mouth couldn¡¯t close. Lin Qingqian let go of his hand and walked to the bed, asking with concern, ¡°Grandma, are you alright?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Old Madam Jiang held her hand and said with a smile, ¡°As long as you and Yanshen are fine, Grandma will be fine with anything.¡± ¡°Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Old Madam Jiang raised her head and red at Jiang Yanshen. She reprimanded, ¡°You have to cherish Qianqian well this time. You can¡¯t bully her. Otherwise, I¡¯ll chase you out of the Jiang family. Remember that?¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that the olddy was just scaring him, so he followed her words and said, ¡°Got it, Grandma.¡± Seeing that he was different from before, Old Madam Jiang heaved a sigh of relief. She lowered her head and reminded Lin Qingqian, ¡°Tell me if he bullies you again in the future. I¡¯ll help you teach him a lesson. As long as you¡¯re happy, I can beat him up, scold him, or punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall.¡± As she spoke, she patted Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand gently. It was obvious how much she liked her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Alright, Grandma. If he bullies me again, I¡¯ll go to Jiang City with you and ignore him.¡± ¡°Alright, Grandma is the happiest with you by my side,¡± Old Madam Jiang said happily. Seeing that they were talking seriously, Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t spoil her too much. When the timees, she¡¯ll bully me.¡± Old Madam Jiang spat at him. ¡°You deserve it!¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Seeing them bickering like this, the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips deepened. The smile on Old Madam Jiang¡¯s face faded a little as she said, ¡°Madam Liu, don¡¯t we have new fruit smoothies in the kitchen? Bring Qianqian down to have some.¡± Madam Liu replied, ¡°Aye, alright.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that she had something to say to Jiang Yanshen alone. She stood up and said, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯ll go down first.¡± ¡°Go.¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded. Lin Qingqian turned around and nced at Jiang Yanshen before following Madam Liu to the door. When she passed by Jiang Yanshen, he held her slender wrist and said in a low voice, ¡°Eat less.¡± Lin Qingqian flung his hand away. It was rare for her to be willful. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± With that, she quickened her pace and followed Madam Liu out of the room. Jiang Yanshen looked at her back with starlight in his eyes, the smile on his lips mixed with a hint of helplessness. ¡°Yanshen, take a seat,¡± Old Madam Jiang said. Jiang Yanshen turned around and the smile on his face dissipated. His face was indifferent and cold again, and his hands were in his pockets. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Just say it.¡± Old Madam Tianz knew his Dersonalitv and didn¡¯t beat around the bush. ¡°Your Second Uncle came back this time under the pretense of celebrating my birthday. You should be well aware of his ulterior motives behind this.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded deeply. He knew very well what Jiang Chongjing was thinking. ¡°I want to know what you¡¯re thinking.¡± The olddy asked, her originally kind eyes sharpening. Jiang Yanshen was expressionless as he asked calmly, ¡°What does Grandma think?¡± ¡°This wretched brat¡­ she couldn¡¯t bait a single sentence out of his mouth!¡± The olddy muttered a curse in her heart. She maintained aposed expression and spoke with a serious tone, ¡°He is Yunshen¡¯s father after all, and he still carries the blood of the Jiang family.¡± With just one sentence, Jiang Yanshen could tell what the olddy was thinking. ¡°It¡¯s all up to Grandma.¡± Old Madam Jiang red at him. ¡°Are you ming me?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes. ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare.¡± Old Madam Jiang snorted softly and said unhurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m not blind yet. I know very well what you¡¯re thinking. I¡¯ll tell you this today¡­¡± ¡°If he knows his ce, don¡¯t go too far. But if he still harbors any ill intentions¡­ you are free to handle him as you see fit.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes and pursed his thin lips without saying anything.. Chapter 224 - 224: Untitled Chapter 224: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Lin Qingqian went downstairs, there was no one in the living room. Madam Liu asked someone to bring the shaved ice from the fridge over. Lin Qingqian hurriedly took the spoon from her. ¡°Madam Liu, I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± She was someone by Grandma¡¯s side. Asking her to serve her was lowering her status. Madam Liu smiled. ¡°Miss Qingqian is still the same as before. You haven¡¯t changed at all.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Is that so?¡± Madam Liu thought for a moment and said, ¡°Not really, but you seem to have be better.¡± Lin Qingqian took a bite of the shaved ice fruit. It was cold, sour, and sweet. She thought to herself, ¡°Actually, I haven¡¯t be much better. I¡¯ve simply returned to my original self.¡± Madam Liu let her eat slowly and got up to go to the kitchen to prepare. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa alone and slowly ate her shaved ice. When she was about to finish eating, Jiang Yanshen finally came down. Jiang Yanshen watched as she finished the bowl of shaved ice. He sat down at the side and took the spoon from her hand. ¡°Stop eating.¡± The bottom of the bowl was filled with some water and bits of fruit. Lin Qingqian also didn¡¯t want to eat it anymore. ¡°Where¡¯s your mother?¡± ¡°She was punished by Grandma to kneel in the ancestral hall.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s casual tone was as if she was not his mother. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Does this count as forgiving her?¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and pinched it neither gently nor forcefully. His tone waszy. ¡°My father passed away many years ago. If not for the fact that the entire city was stirred up because of this matter, Grandma wouldn¡¯t be bothered with her nonsense.¡± Lin Qingqian thought about it and couldn¡¯t help but worry. ¡°She has a grudge against you. Li Dashun is not a good person either. When Li Ruzhues out, I¡¯m afraid¡ª¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s make her stay there forever.¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint shed across them. Lin Qingqian pinched his palm. ¡°Don¡¯t mess around.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her serious expression and knew that she was worried about him. He smiled. ¡°Alright, I promise you.¡± Old Madam Jiang asked them to stay for dinner, so Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t refuse and stayed with Jiang Yanshen. Before the banquet started, Jiang Chongjing returned from outside, and Old Madam Jiang also came down. When they were eating, the olddy specially called Lin Qingqian to sit beside her to let everyone know her status. Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun didn¡¯t say anything. Jiang Yunshen said jealously, ¡°Grandma is so biased. In the past, I was always the one sitting beside you. Now, you¡¯re letting Sister-inw sit beside you.¡± Old Madam Jiang looked at him disdainfully. ¡°If you¡¯re as considerate as Qianqian, I¡¯ll let you sit beside me to eat every day.¡± Jiang Yunshen was unconvinced. ¡°So what if I¡¯m not considerate? No matter how inconsiderate I am, I¡¯m still your biological grandson!¡± Old Madam Jiang: ¡°You¡¯re adopted.¡± Jiang Yunshen said aggrievedly, ¡°Dad, Mom, look at Grandma¡­¡± Everyone at the table was amused by him, and the atmosphere at the dining table was less awkward. It had a hint of home. Lin Qingqian was about to go back after dinner. Old Madam Jiang held her hand and reminded her repeatedly toe on the day of the birthday banquet. Otherwise, she would be unhappy. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t withstand her enthusiasm and could only nod in agreement. Seeing that she was holding Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and not letting go, Jiang Yanshen became a little impatient and snatched her away. ¡°Alright, Grandma, I¡¯ll send her back.¡± He pulled Lin Qingqian away. Old Madam Jiang was speechless for a few seconds before she cursed at his back. ¡°Stupid brat¡­ You make it seem like I¡¯ll snatch it from you!¡± Madam Liu chuckled at the side. ¡°Won¡¯t you?¡± Old Madam Jiang turned around and red at her, her eyes were filled with relief as she looked at their backs¡­ Chapter 225 - 225: I’m Not a Child. It Doesn’t Hurt. Chapter 225: I¡¯m Not a Child. It Doesn¡¯t Hurt. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The ck Maybach sped steadily on the empty asphalt road. The car was quiet and dark. Lin Qingqian lowered the window by a third. The cold wind outside blew in and kissed her hair. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and his gazended on her small face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He could clearly sense that she was troubled. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and blinked. ¡°Will all the wealthy families in Lan City attend Grandma¡¯s birthday banquet?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Grandma still has some prestige in Lan City. Most of them will be present.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a while more. ¡°Then if I cause a small episode at Grandma¡¯s birthday banquet, will Grandma me me?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes stared at her fair and clean face. He was vignt and said in a low voice, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t dump me again, with Grandma¡¯s love for you, she won¡¯t be angry no matter what you do.¡± Lin Qingqianughed speechlessly. How much psychological trauma had it caused him when she publicly broke off the engagement at the wedding previously? Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her cheek. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Do whatever you want. I¡¯ll support you even if the sky falls.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at his exquisite facial features from the corner of her eye. She felt that he had seen through something, but on second thought, she felt that it was impossible. After all, even she didn¡¯t Imow what to do yet. At three in the morning, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the window. The window wasn¡¯t closed, and the clothes hanger hanging on the balcony bumped back and forth, causing loud tapping sounds that woke Lin Qingqian up. She got up and walked to the balcony. After closing the window, she thought of the window in the room¡­ She tiptoed into the bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no light. Moreover, there was no movement. It should be because the window was closed. Lin Qingqian turned around and wanted to leave. When she closed the door, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She reached out and touched the switch by the wall. The light chased away all the darkness and let her see the furnishings in the room clearly. Other than a neatly folded nket on the bed, there was no sign of Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat for some reason. He was clearly still there before she went to bed, but she actually didn¡¯t know when he went out. Where could he go sote at night? Thinking of something, she turned around and returned to the living room. She picked up the phone on the coffee table and dialed his number. The call was connected, but no one picked up. She ended the call and dialed Lu Yuan¡¯s number. After a moment, the call was picked up. Lu Yuan¡¯s respectful voice came from the other end of the radio. ¡°Miss Lin¡­¡± ¡°Is Jiang Yanshen with you?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t hide the worry in her voice. Lu Yuan was silent for a moment before replying tactfully, ¡°Miss Lin, Director Jiang will be back soon.¡± In other words, there were some things that he couldn¡¯t say. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for him. She ended the call, but was no longer sleepy. It was raining outside, and it was getting heavier. The wind whistled like demons, adding a hint of gloom to the quiet night, making one panic. Lin Qingqianforted herself in her heart. At least with Lu Yuan by his side, nothing should happen. Jiang Yanshen walked out of the room neatly. Although there was some sweat on his forehead, his expression was still calm. His rolled-up sleeve was pulled down, covering the needle marks on his wrist. Seeing hime out, Lu Yuan hurriedly handed over his phone. ¡°Director Jiang, Madam called you just now. I didn¡¯t pick up. She called my phone. I didn¡¯t tell her that you were here with Doctor Shen.¡± The implication was: Be mentally prepared when you go back. Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone and saw the caller ID. His fingertips gently caressed the name and he said in a low voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± His long legs wrapped in his suit pants strode forward extremely quickly. The heavy rain affected his vision, so Lu Yuan didn¡¯t dare to drive too quickly. When they returned to the apartment, it was already five in the morning. Jiang Yanshen pushed open the door and saw a slender woman curled up under the floormp, leaning against the sofa and sleeping. Her long hair was as ck as ink, entuating her fair skin. The anxiety of rushing back slowly calmed down at this moment, and the coldness in his body was chased away by the warmth seeping out of his chest. He walked lightly to the sofa and held her calf. In the next second, she was carried off the sofa. Lin Qingqian frowned first, then she opened her eyes and saw his exquisite face. Herzy voice sounded. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen carried her to the room. ¡°Where did you go?¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and her sleepy voice was slightly emotional. ¡°It was raining in the middle of the night. I got up to close the window, but I was shocked not to see you.¡± Jiang Yanshen ced her on the bed and lowered his head to kiss her lips. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I saw that you were sleeping soundly and didn¡¯t wake you up when I went out.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and stared at him silently. Jiang Yanshen knew that she wanted to know, so he didn¡¯t hide it. He stood up and changed his clothes as he said, ¡°I went to Shen Zhiwei¡¯s ce.¡± When Lin Qingqian saw him take off his clothes, she immediately turned around. When she heard his words, she couldn¡¯t help but turn her head again. From the corner of her eye, she saw his arm¡­ The needle marks were no longer so obvious, but if one looked carefully, they could still see them. She lowered her eyes and said hesitantly, ¡°Is it because of¡­ your Second Uncle?¡± Recently, his emotions had been stable and he didn¡¯t have any bipr episodes. Jiang Xiao Jiu had never suddenly appeared either. Jiang Yanshen changed into a silver-gray silk pajamas and turned to sit down. He reached out to touch her head. ¡°Sleep with me for a while.¡± The air conditioner in the living room was low, and her skin was cold. At this moment, she was hugged by him and felt warm. Shey down with him without hesitation. Lin Qingqian leaned in his arms, her slender fingersnding on his muscr arm. ¡°Can I take a look?¡± ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± He was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth. ¡°I want to see it.¡± Her tone was unruly. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t want to make her unhappy, so he didn¡¯t stop her from rolling up his sleeves. Because he sat in the office all year round, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s skin was also very fair. There was no hair on his arms. Probably because he worked out, his arms were muscr and well-defined. So much so that the red dot was very conspicuous in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. After so many years, how many needle marks had been pricked on his arm? Thinking of this, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but feel a lump in her throat. She rolled down his sleeve and hugged him tightly with her slender arms without saying a word. Jiang Yanshen patted her back like he was coaxing a child and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m not a child. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± It would have been fine if he didn¡¯t say it, but once he did, Lin Qingqian felt even more pain. Her heart ached. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I might really be hopeless.¡± Her face was buried in his arms, and her voice was muffled with a hint of tears. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s body clearly stiffened. He lowered his head and his thin lipsnded on her forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll definitely tell you when I go out in the future. I won¡¯t let you wake up and not see me. I won¡¯t let you not know where I am.¡± His low and sexy voice was clearly coaxing her. In the past, he would never have done such a thing. But now, he couldn¡¯t bear to see her suffer. He couldn¡¯t bear to see her angry or sad. Even if she only frowned, he would immediately want to lower his head and coax her. Lin Qingqian hummed softly. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up. ¡°Okay.¡± The bedsidemp emitted an orange light thatnded on Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair face, illuminating her curly eyshes clearly. Her clear eyes stared at him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t leave me again.¡± If he left her again, she really didn¡¯t know if she could turn back a second time. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick and fan-likeshes drooped, concealing the fleeting secrets in his eyes. He leaned down and gently kissed her crimson lips, his voice husky and resolute. ¡°I promise, I will never leave you again.¡± The heavy rain outside the window was still pouring down. It was as if his voice was engraved in her heart and lulled her to sleep. The rain in the middle of the night didn¡¯t affect the weather the next day. Lin Qingqian pushed open the window and the fresh air mixed with the fragrance of the wet soil greeted her. It was refreshing and she couldn¡¯t help but rx. Jiang Yanshen stepped off the bed barefooted and hugged her from behind. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. ¡°Morning.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around, a smile flowing in her clear eyes. ¡°Morning, Mr. Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not satisfied with this title?¡± Jiang Yanshen gazed at her, his eyes sparkling with brilliance. Unable to contain his emotions, he lowered his head and stole a fragrant kiss. ¡°Before marriage, you called me Jiang Yanshen. After marriage, you also called me Jiang Yanshen. After our divorce, you called me Dog of a man, and Director Jiang. Now, you call me Mr. Jiang?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with smiles. ¡°Then what do you want me to call you?¡± ¡°Ah Yan,¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips pressed against her cheek. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face turned red and her heart raced from his intimate action. Her red lips moved and she said lightly, ¡°¡­Ah Yan.¡± A warm palm cupped her cheek and kissed her lips urately. It was already an hourter when they finished breakfast. Jiang Yanshen stood up and took the clothes that Lu Yuan had prepared to wear. He looked down at the woman who was still drinking yogurt. ¡°I¡¯ll be quite busy these days and won¡¯t be able to pick you up. Let the bodyguard follow you, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t ask for the reason. She guessed that it might be rted to Jiang Chongjing, so she didn¡¯t spend much effort persuading him and nodded in agreement. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were gentle. Ignoring the fact that Lu Yuan was still beside him, he leaned over and pinched her chin. He turned her face around and lowered his head to kiss her. Lin Qingqian was stunned and subconsciously pushed him away. She blushed and said, ¡°Lu Yuan is still here.¡± Lu Yuan turned to look outside, his face filled with the words: I can¡¯t see anything. The weather today is so good! Hahahahahahaha! Jiang Yanshen knew that she was thin-skinned and wasn¡¯t used to being intimate in front of others. He didn¡¯t go overboard. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and stood up to send him to the door to enter the elevator before closing the door. Half an hourter, she went downstairs. The bodyguard was already waiting. It was the same retired soldier fromst time. His facial features were rough, and his expression was always cool. ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± The bodyguard: ¡°Miss Lin, you¡¯re wee. This is my job.¡± After Lin Qingqian got into the car, he also got in. Before driving, he reminded her, ¡°Miss Lin, for safety reasons, you should fasten your seatbelt.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect him to be so strict.. ¡°May I know how to address you? Chapter 226 - 226: When You ‘re Old, Your Heart Will Be Soft Chapter 226: When You ¡®re Old, Your Heart Will Be Soft Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He drove and looked straight ahead. ¡°My surname is Chen. Miss Lin, you can call me Little Chen.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® He looked more than ten years older than her. She really couldn¡¯t bring herself to call him ¡°Little Chen¡±. ¡°I¡¯ll call you Brother Chen from now on.¡± Brother Chen didn¡¯t say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed. The car stopped at the entrance of thepany. Lin Qingqian unbuckled her seatbelt and said to him before getting out of the car, ¡°Brother Chen, park the car in the parking lot. When I¡¯m at work, you can use your time as you please.¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Lin,¡± Brother Chen replied stiffly, not saying a word. Lin Qingqian carried her handbag and alighted from the car. When she walked into thepany, many employees greeted her and she nodded. When she was about to walk to her office, she nced at the office next door from the corner of her eye. The door was half open, and a man was holding a kettle and spraying water on the bamboo on the table. Lin Qingqian walked over and knocked on the door. Han Liubai looked up at her, his gentle eyes looking even gentler under the mist. ¡°Morning, Director Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to rest at home for a few more days?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already recovered. If I stay at home, I¡¯ll also be thinking about work. In that case, why don¡¯t I juste to thepany?¡± Han Liubai exined gently. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t push yourself too much.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled before turning around to return to her office next door. Han Liubai looked at her figure, the longing in his eyes leaking out uncontrobly. Lin Qingqian hung her handbag on the rack and walked to her desk to sit down. After a while, Su Ying knocked on the door and entered with a cup of coffee in her hand. ¡°Sister Qingqian, your coffee, with milk and three sugars.¡± Su Ying ced the cup in front of her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°By the way, Xiao Ying, can you help me do something?¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Sister Qingqian, tell me¡­¡¯ When Su Ying walked out of the subway at nine in the evening, there was no one around. Her house was about a kilometer away from the subway entrance. As she listened to her music and walked in the direction of her house, she suddenly realized that there was another figure behind her. At first, she didn¡¯t care. However, after walking a distance, she realized that the ck shadow was still behind her. She couldn¡¯t help but recall the horror movies and suspense films she had seen in the past¡­ Immediately, the hairs on her body stood on ends as goosebumps rose on her skin. She couldn¡¯t help but quicken her pace, but the ck shadow behind her also quickened its pace. After verifying her thoughts, she became even more afraid. She turned around and ran¡­ The ck shadow also ran. Su Ying usually doesn¡¯t exercise and was panting after a few steps. She was afraid and couldn¡¯t help but turn around hesitantly. Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened. Before she could say anything, her lips were covered and she was dragged to an alley not far away. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t dare to be careless for Grandma¡¯s birthday banquet. She packed up early in the morning and followed Jiang Yanshen to the Jiang family residence. Old Madam Jiang had already woken up and was eating at the dining table. She was especially happy to see Lin Qingqian. ¡°Qianqian,e and sit with Grandma.¡± She called Lin Qingqian to sit beside her and asked kindly, ¡°Have you eaten breakfast?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve eaten, Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was light as she carried a box in her hand. ¡°Grandma, guess what gift I prepared for you?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Old Madam Jiang shook her head. ¡°Grandma can¡¯t guess. Actually, as long as youe, Grandma will be happy. It¡¯s better than any gift.¡± With that, she nced at the man standing at the side. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were gentle, and his thin lips parted slightly. ¡®You don¡¯t have to look at me. I don¡¯t know.¡± She had wrapped the box up mysteriously early in the morning and didn¡¯t even allow him to touch it. How would he know what she had prepared? Hearing him say this, the olddy became even more curious and looked at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Grandma, open it yourself.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve made Grandma curious!¡± She smiled and took the tissue from Madam Liu to wipe her hands. Then, she looked at the box. ¡°Let me see what novel things Qianqian prepared.¡± Her thin fingers pinched the sides of the box and slowly lifted it. She stuck her head out to take a look.. A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. ¡°Such a beautiful cheongsam.¡± Madam Liu took the lid of the box and peered over to take a look. She also gasped in surprise, ¡°This cheongsam is beautiful!¡± Seeing that she was happy, Lin Qingqian was also happy. ¡°Grandma, do you like ¡°I like it!¡± The olddy reached out to touch the cloth. Her hands were trembling, afraid that her nails would scratch such a beautiful dress. ¡°Girl, where did you get it?¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Grandma, have you forgotten who my master The olddy was stunned and said in surprise, ¡°That old fellow Qi Min is willing to let you give me the cheongsam she made herself?¡± ¡°Look at what you¡¯re saying.¡± Lin Qingqian raised the corners of her mouth. ¡°My master¡¯s personality is a little aloof, but she has a sharp tongue and a soft heart. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know that. She will also attend your birthday banquetter.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright.¡± Old Madam Jiang was especially happy. She turned around and said, ¡°Xiao Liu, take the clothes and iron them. I¡¯ll be wearing this today.¡± After that, she was still worried and instructed, ¡°Be careful. Don¡¯t burn it.¡± Madam Liu took the box from Lin Qingqian and said with a smile, ¡°Got it. Are you still worried about my abilities?¡± There were still a few hours before the birthday banquet. After the olddy ate, Lin Qingqian chatted with her for a while before the servants brought the medicine over. She was sleepy after taking the medicine, so Lin Qingqian helped her upstairs to rest. The birthday banquet was held in the hotel, so the servants of the Jiang residence were not so busy. Their daily work was carried out in an orderly manner. Lin Qingqian came out of the olddy¡¯s room and was about to go downstairs when she bumped into Jiang Chongjing at the staircase. A pair of sharp eyes stared at her, as if calcting something. Lin Qingqian called out politely and distantly, ¡°Second Master Jiang.¡± Jiang Chongjing nodded and said coldly, ¡°I heard that you rejected Yanshen at the wedding previously?¡± Lin Qing¡¯s thin eyshes trembled slightly, and she looked at him calmly with her clear eyes. For a moment, she was not sure of his intentions. ¡°The Jiang Family is not a small family. Yanshen is also the head of the Jiang Family. Since you rejected him in public, why are you entangled with him His expression was tense, and he sounded like he was reprimanding a junior. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will criticize him?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. Before she could speak, she heard a cold voice¡ª ¡°What does it have to do with Second Uncle whether or not I¡¯m criticized?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw Jiang Yanshen walking up the stairs. Her suspended heart instantly rxed, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. When Jiang Chongjing saw that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression waspletely different, he smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m just concerned about you. After all, you¡¯re the President of Tianyue Group and the head of our Jiang Family. We can¡¯t let othersugh at you.¡± Jiang Yanshenpletely ignored his good intentions and walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side. He held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand in front of Jiang Chongjing and turned to look at him¡­ ¡°Second Uncle, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. Since you¡¯re back, you should take good care of Yunshen. Don¡¯t let him hang out with that bunch of bad friends all day!¡± With that, hepletely ignored Jiang Chongjing¡¯s gloomy expression and pulled Lin Qingqian downstairs. Jiang Chongjing originally wanted to go downstairs, but he was rebuked by Jiang Yanshen and turned around to go back up. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen walked out of the Jiang Residence¡¯s vi and strolled on the tree-lined path. Not far away, the rockery was flowing with water, and it was a little cool when a gust of wind blew. ¡°Are you talking to your second uncle like this because he came back this time to fight with you for the family assets?¡± As Jiang Yanshen walked, he nced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°Are you afraid that I¡¯ll lose?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°You won¡¯t lose, but I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll chase the dog into an alley, cornering it.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her fingers tightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine. Lin Qingqian nodded. It was good that he was confident. She was also confident in him. After walking a distance away from the Jiang residence, Jiang Yanshen suddenly said, ¡°Do you know how my father died?¡± Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and looked up at him. Sunlight shone at the corners of her eyes through the swaying leaves, illuminating the doubts in her eyes. ¡°Wasn¡¯t he in a car ident?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes. ¡°The car crash was real, but it wasn¡¯t an ident.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. If it was not an ident, then it was murder. A thought suddenly appeared in her mind and she said in disbelief, ¡°Could it be¡­ your Second Uncle?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up as he said coldly, ¡°Otherwise, why didn¡¯t Grandpa hand Tianyue Group to him back then? Why didn¡¯t Grandma allow him toe back even once in many years?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip. ¡°They¡¯re biological brothers!¡± They were brothers with the same father and mother. Was there a need to be so ruthless in order to fight for the family assets? She was born and raised in Yu Mountain. There were brothers who had split up and caused trouble. At most, they would spit at each other and push each other a little when they met. No matter what, no one would die. Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes, his thin lips holding an ambiguous smile. ¡®Qianqian, you¡¯re too innocent.¡± She was very smart, but she had never experienced the darkness of a wealthy family and didn¡¯t understand the blood and ugliness beneath all the m. ¡°This is murder. Didn¡¯t your grandparents think back then¡­¡± Her voice paused and she didn¡¯t continue. Jiang Yanshen understood what she meant andughed self-deprecatingly. ¡°The eldest son is already dead. They won¡¯t want to see the youngest son die as well. Moreover, if this matter gets out, it will ultimately be a shameful scandal for the Jiang family.¡± ¡°Then why this time?¡± Lin Qingqian asked in confusion. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were slightly cold as he said indifferently, ¡°Grandma is old.¡¯ When one was old, their hearts would soften. She had experienced the pain of losing her son back then. Now, she wanted to take a few nces at her youngest son before she left. Lin Qingqian finally understood why he hated Jiang Chongjing so much and didn¡¯t even hide his emotions. No wonder when he found out that Jiang Chongjing was back, he couldn¡¯t help but need to see his psychiatrist. If his father hadn¡¯t died back then, perhaps he wouldn¡¯t be like this today. At the same time, her heart ached, and she couldn¡¯t help but worry. Jiang Chongjing could be so ruthless to his own brother, let alone Jiang Yanshen¡­ Jiang Yanshen raised his warm palm and covered her eyes. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that. Although you care about me, and this makes me very happy.¡± But please don¡¯t look at me with such worried eyes.. Chapter 227 - 227: Get Rid Of…Jiang Yanshen Chapter 227: Get Rid Of¡­Jiang Yanshen Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Chongjing returned to his room with a dark expression. Wu Suyun, who had just finished her makeup, saw his angry expression and asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Jiang Chongjing said angrily, ¡°If the old man wasn¡¯t muddle-headed back then, why would he hand the Tianyue Group to a brat?¡± The Tianyue Group should have been his, and all the wealth and status should have belonged to him. Wu Suyun guessed that he might have suffered in front of Jiang Yanshen andforted him gently. ¡°He lost his father and doesn¡¯t have a good rtionship with his mother. His personality is inevitably unruly. You don¡¯t have to lower yourself to his level.¡± ¡°Of course I won¡¯t stoop to his level!¡± Jiang Chongjing gritted his teeth. He thought of something and turned his head to look at her sharply. ¡°Where¡¯s Yunshen?¡± Wu Suyun was already used to being stared at by his inverted eyes. She lowered her head and said calmly, ¡°Maybe he¡¯s not up yet.¡± ¡°What time is it already?¡± Jiang Chongjing raised his eyebrows and said coldly, ¡°Go and wake him up. It¡¯s fine if he¡¯s usuallyzy and doesn¡¯t want to improve, but today is the olddy¡¯s birthday banquet, but he still doesn¡¯t take it seriously. He¡¯s simply stupid.¡± Although Jiang Yanshen was in charge of the Jiang family now, the person with the highest status was still the olddy. She still held the shares of the Tianyue Group in her hands. If Jiang Yunshen could get the shares from the olddy, he wouldn¡¯t need to listen to Jiang Yanshen in the future. Wu Suyun stood up and said obediently, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± Jiang Chongjing nced at her back and sneered in his heart. Why did he marry such a useless woman back then? His son was also disappointing. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He threw the teacup Wu Suyun had just handed him to the ground. There were water stains and fragments all over the ground. He didn¡¯t even look at it before getting up and walking out of the room. The servants were all busy, so no one noticed him walking towards the door that was seldom opened. Li Gun was lying on the bed, her hair disheveled and messy. She was wearing a ck negligee and was cursing the olddy and the group of servants with a haggard expression. She had been punished by the olddy to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. Her knees were bruised from kneeling. Now, not to mention walking, she couldn¡¯t even get out of bed. After that group of little b*tches helped her back, other than sending in three meals a day on time, they had never cared about her again. Her mouth was dry from the scolding. She reached out to take a ss of water to drink. She was a little far away, so instead of hooking the ss with her fingertips, she knocked it over and spilled the warm water on the carpet. She was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it. When she heard the door open, she said angrily, ¡°Are all of you dead¡­¡± She looked up at the door and was suddenly stunned. Jiang Chongjing closed the door and his cold gazended on the fallen cup. He quickly understood and walked forward to pour a new cup of water and ced it on the coffee table. Li Gun frowned at him. ¡°Why did youe in?¡± Jiang Chongjing handed her the cup. ¡°I didn¡¯t see Sister-inw when I came back, so I specially came to greet you.¡± Li Gun snorted coldly. She took the cup and finished it in one go. She burped in relief. ¡°Now that you¡¯ve greeted me, you can go out.¡± Jiang Chongjing stood still and stared at her deeply. ¡°The olddy is really ruthless. She actually punished you to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night. ¡± ¡°She forbade you froming back for more than ten years. What¡¯s so strange about her doing this to me?¡± Li Gun smiled coldly. She hated the Jiang family to the core. It was the Jiang family who had ruined her life. Jiang Chongjing said disappointedly, ¡°That¡¯s right. She treats even me like this, let alone you.¡± ¡°If she hadn¡¯t snatched Yanshen away from you back then, Yanshen wouldn¡¯t be so distant from you now and stand on the olddy¡¯s side in everything.¡± At the mention of this, Li Gun¡¯s expression turned even uglier. She gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡°Sister-inw, actually, we¡¯re in the same boat.¡± Jiang Chongjing sat down by the bed and said earnestly. Li Gun nced at him sideways. ¡®What exactly are you trying to say?¡± Jiang Chongjing reached out and pinched the nket. Li Gun was shocked and wanted to stop him, but she was toote¡­ Upon lifting the nket, her legs were unveiled, adorned in a nightgown that delicately embraced her thighs. After many years of pampering and beauty treatment, her skin looked like a young girl¡¯s, fair and tender. The bruises on her knees looked even more shocking in contrast. Li Gun felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she was stared at by his eyes. Goosebumps appeared all over her body as she scolded angrily, ¡°Jiang Chongjing!¡± Jiang Chongjing met her embarrassed gaze and chuckled. ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯m just concerned about your leg. After all, we were once allies.¡± The angry redness on Li Gun¡¯s face suddenly disappearedpletely, and her eyes became guilty. ¡°You, what nonsense are you talking about!¡± ¡°If you hadn¡¯t told me that elder brother was going to meet his lover in private back then, how would I have had the chance?¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s handnded on her calf and wandered upwards bit by bit. ¡°When Old Master sent me to Africa, I didn¡¯t even betray you. Isn¡¯t letting you remain as Madam Jiang, who doesn¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing for so many years, enough to prove my sincerity? Li Gun¡¯s face turned pale, but her heart involuntarily beat faster, and her voice trembled. ¡°What exactly do you want to do?¡± Jiang Chongjing leaned over and approached her. His voice was low, and he didn¡¯t hide his ambition and greed at all. ¡°Since we could cooperate to get rid of Big Brother back then, we can naturally cooperate to get rid of Jiang Yanshen now¡­¡± Li Gun¡¯s pupils dted. ¡°Get rid of¡­ Jiang Yanshen.¡± ¡°In any case, he won¡¯t stand on your side. What¡¯s the use of keeping such a son?¡± As he spoke, he had already unbuckled his belt. ¡°As long as we get rid of him, the Jiang Family and Tianyue Group will be ours in the future.¡± Li Gun¡¯s heart trembled. The Jiang Family and Tianyue Group¡­ all hers. Such a huge temptation was clearly something she couldn¡¯t reject, nor could she reject¡­ Jiang Chongjing¡¯s conquest. Old Madam Jiang¡¯s birthday banquet was held in a hotel owned by the Tianyue Group. She had invited almost half of the wealthy businessmen and nobles of Lan City. The peripheral branches of the Jiang family were also unusually active and attentive, hoping to leave a good impression on the olddy and secure a prominent position or lucrative job within thepany. There were some who brought along their daughters who were of marriageable age. If they could catch Director Jiang¡¯s eye today and marry into the Jiang family, their status in Lan City would increase greatly in the future. It didn¡¯t matter even if Director Jiang didn¡¯t take a fancy to them. There was still Second Young Master Jiang! They didn¡¯t mind. The banquet hall was decorated very festively. Most of the guests had also arrived. The olddy was old and did not have enough stamina, so she was not in a hurry toe out. Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun helped to greet the guests. Jiang Yunshen originally wanted to escape, but Jiang Chongjing said that he would break his legs if he dared to run. Jiang Yunshen stood obediently beside him and greeted the guests. When Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian appeared, they caused quite amotion. Firstly, it was because he was holding Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand. Secondly, someone recognized Lin Qingqian and couldn¡¯t help but lower their heads to gossip. Back then, their public divorce had caused quite an uproar. Now, are they going to remarry? Jiang Yanshen pretended not to hear and held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand to greet Chairman Liang and his wife. Previously, Lin Qingqian had apanied Jiang Yanshen to their wedding anniversary. After not seeing her for so long, Madam Liang was still very friendly to her and kept chattering with her. Jiang Yanshen chatted with Mr Liang. When Jiang Yunshen saw Jiang Yanshen, he immediately ran away like a wild horse. ¡°Um, Father, Big Brother is here. I¡¯ll go greet him!¡± Without waiting for Jiang Chongjing¡¯s agreement, he ran faster than a rabbit chased by an eagle. Jiang Chongjing frowned, displeasure appearing in his eyes. But because there were many guests at the event location, it was not appropriate for him to re up. Jiang Yunshen finally broke free from his father and ran to Jiang Yanshen toin. ¡°Big Brother, save me. My father is crazy. He actually asked me in public to go on a blind date!¡± ¡°Damn! How can a handsome young master like me be reduced to going to blind dates!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyebrows moved slightly, and his voice was serious. ¡°Yunshen, don¡¯t be rude in front of your elders.¡± Only then did Jiang Yunshen look at Chairman Liang and his wife and greet them politely. ¡°Grandpa Liang, hello, Grandma Liang.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Madam Liang smiled amiably. ¡°Yunshen is as lively as before.¡± Jiang Yanshen smirked. ¡°We¡¯ve embarrassed ourselves in front of you.¡± Chairman Liang smiled. ¡°You guys chat. We¡¯ll go greet a few old fellows we haven¡¯t seen in a long time.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched them leave. ¡°Big Brother, save me quickly!¡± Jiang Yunshen looked angry. ¡°Look at me. I¡¯m so young. Why would I need a blind date!¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Jiang Yunshen. Although he was wearing a sky-blue suit and a red bow tie today, because of his baby face and his cheerful personality, he still looked like an immature child. ¡°Isn¡¯t a blind date good? Perhaps you¡¯ll meet the right girl.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± Jiang Yunshen rolled his eyes at her with disdain. ¡°Sister-inw, you¡¯ve watched too many idol dramas!¡± With that, he looked at Jiang Yanshen pleadingly. Jiang Yanshen knew why Jiang Chongjing was so anxious to let Jiang Yunshen get married. Although they were not siblings, they were still blood rtives of the Jiang Family. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to Second Uncle. Go and y!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes lit up as he smiled, revealing his canine teeth. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words were like an imperial edict. With this imperial edict, he could y in peace. Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yunshen¡¯s back as he shuttled through the crowd and couldn¡¯t help but mutter, ¡°If only he could live carefree like this forever.¡± Jiang Yanshen understood the meaning in her words. His grip on her hand involuntarily tightened as he lowered his head to look at her. ¡°I hope Second Uncle won¡¯t imDlicate him.¡± As long as Jiang Chongjing didn¡¯t involve Yunshen, he could guarantee that he would not hurt him. Lin Qingqian was silent and didn¡¯t reply. Not long after, Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang came over and greeted them. While Gu Xici and Jiang Yanshen were talking, Lin Qingqian looked at Lu Qinshang and gave him a look. Lu Qinshang understood and followed her to an empty corner. ¡°Why did you call me over?¡± With that, he looked at Jiang Yanshen, afraid that he would be misunderstood and prepared to exin at any time. Lin Qingqian was amused by his cowardice. ¡°I want to ask you for a favor!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Qinshang narrowed his eyes. ¡°What can I help you with? Isn¡¯t it more effective for you to look for Ah Yan than me? ¡°Only you can help me with this,¡± Lin Qingqian said seriously.. Chapter 228 - 228: Daughter Is The Most Obedient Chapter 228: Daughter Is The Most Obedient Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang¡¯s curiosity was piqued by her. ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°Suisui will being today too. Please invite her to danceter.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s face was filled with question marks. ¡°What kind of help is this? Wait¡­ Don¡¯t tell me you want me to sell my beauty and woo your friend?¡± ¡°No, no, I never f*ck fans!¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. What was this fellow thinking? ¡°I only asked you to invite Suisui to dance, I didn¡¯t ask you to chase after her!¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him. ¡°If you dare to touch Suisui, try!¡± There was a hint of killing intent in her clear eyes! Lu Qinshang pouted helplessly. ¡°You asked me to invite her to dance, but you didn¡¯t let me touch her. What do you want from me? Great Aunt!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Just invite her to dance. Don¡¯t chase after her and take advantage of her! I¡¯ve already informed Suisui. She won¡¯t misunderstand!¡± Lu Qinshang frowned and thought for a moment. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take it that I¡¯m doing a fan service today.¡± It was mainly because if he didn¡¯t agree, she would go and give Ah Yan pillow talk. In the past, they had always sacrificed themselves for their brothers. Now¡­ hehe, they were all sacrificing themselves for their women! Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang returned to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side. Jiang Yanshen only nced at her and didn¡¯t ask what they talked about. After a while, Suisui escorted Qi Min into the banquet hall. Lin Qingqian hurriedly went forward to wee her. ¡°Master.¡± She nced at Suisui again. Suisui gestured an OK sign. ¡°The first mission you gave me was sessfullypleted.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Suisui, Lu Qinshang is over there. Go and say hello to him.¡± When she heard the words Lu Qinshang, Suisui¡¯s eyes instantly lit up, as if she had installed a tracking device on Lu Qinshang. She only had to nce at the crowd to immediately see him. Her heart quickly became steady and reserved, but she couldn¡¯t help but quicken her pace towards her idol. Qi Min lived in the depths of the city and rarely appeared in public. If not for Old Madam Jiang, she would not havee today. ¡°Master, Grandma has just arrived at the hotel and is resting in the lounge. She¡¯ll be here in a while.¡± Qi Min nodded. Her gazended on the man walking over and her eyes immediately scrutinized him. Jiang Yanshen walked in front of the old woman and called out respectfully, ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Hmph.¡± Qi Min snorted coldly. She controlled her attitude and didn¡¯t give him a good reaction. ¡°Master.¡± Lin Qingqian called out softly, with the intention of pleading for Jiang Yanshen. Qi Min nced at her from the corner of her eye and spat. ¡°Lass, you¡¯ve forgotten your scars the instant it stopped hurting.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and remained silent. She secretly nced at Jiang Yanshen. You¡¯re on your own. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were filled with a faint smile. He looked at Qi Min and still had a respectful attitude. ¡°Master, I heard Qianqian mention you all the time previously and didn¡¯t have the time to visit. Please forgive me.¡± Qi Minughed ambiguously. ¡°How would I dare to trouble Director Jiang, who¡¯s busy every day, toe and visit an old woman like me?¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t say anything from her retort and could only ept it. After all, she had a high status and was Qianqian¡¯s master. ¡°Yo! Where did this old womane from to behave atrociously here?¡± Just as the atmosphere was subtle and awkward, a loud voice sounded at the door. Everyone looked over and saw Old Madam Jiang. Her pale hair was tied up in a messy bun. She was wearing a dark purple cheongsam and high heels. She was supported by Madam Liu as she walked in. Her ears, wrists, and fingers were all covered in jade jewelry. She looked noble and energetic. Old Madam Jiang nced at Qi Min and didn¡¯t tter her like the others. ¡°You still have the temperament of a rich youngdy after so many years.¡± When Qi Min heard this, she counterattacked unhurriedly. ¡°You¡¯ve be more and more like Old Madam Jiang after so many years.¡± ¡°Pfft.¡± Old Madam Jiang spat at her. ¡°Don¡¯t mock me.¡± Qi Min smiled. ¡°Aren¡¯t you mocking me too?¡± Old Madam Jiang said proudly, ¡°Who asked you to embarrass our Ah Yan in public?¡± ¡°Who asked him to bully my girl back then?¡± Qi Min was not to be outdone. ¡°If not for him, this girl would have inherited my mantle by now.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to inherit with those tattered clothes of yours?¡± Old Madam Jiang retorted stubbornly. Qi Min looked at her disdainfully. ¡°Then why are you still wearing my tattered clothes? Take it off.¡¯ Old Madam Jiang couldn¡¯t win against her and started to act shamelessly. ¡°I won¡¯t take it off.¡± The two olddies, whose age were almost 200 years old in total, bickered like children when they met, leaving the others dumbfounded. The guests arrived one after another, including Lu Dongcheng and Luo Tianxue, who werete. As soon as Luo Tianxue entered, she tossed Lu Dongcheng away and ran towards Lin Qingqian. She pulled her away from Jiang Yanshen and said bitterly, ¡°Qianqian, how can you get back together with such a man? Have you forgotten how he treated you in the past?¡± Lin Qingqian: Lu Dongcheng pulled Luo Tianxue back to his side with a troubled expression and revealed an apologetic smile. ¡°Her upbringing was not strict. Sorry for this embarrassing scene.¡± Luo Tianxue nced at him in disdain and looked at Jiang Yanshen as if he was her love rival. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help butugh. If she didn¡¯t know that she liked Jiang Yanshen in the past, she would really suspect her sexual orientation. The birthday banquet officially began. With the help of Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun, the olddy walked up to the microphone and said some pleasantries. At the same time, she exined that Madam Jiang was not feeling well, so she won¡¯t being out. Everyone knew very well that Old Madam Jiang was deliberately not letting Madam Jiang attend the birthday banquet. After all, something big had happened a few days ago. Old Madam Jiang announced in public that Jiang Chongjing would be transferred back from Africa to be the general manager of the Lan City branch. Everyone revealed surprised and probing gazes that lingered between Jiang Chongjing and Jiang Yanshen. Everyone knew that Jiang Chongjing had lost in the family assetspetition back then. He had been exiled by the Jiang Family for so many years. Now that he had returned to Lan City, the Jiang Family would probably not be peaceful anymore! Everyone looked at Jiang Yanshen with pity and gloating, waiting to watch a good show. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, and his exquisite facial features looked even more charming under the crystal light. His slender and tall body stood still like a pine tree, as if he didn¡¯t see those teasing and malicious eyes. Lin Qingqian stood beside him, her slender fingers slowly tightening. No matter what happened in the future, she would face it with him. Jiang Yanshen seemed to sense her thoughts. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes, the corners of his lips curling up slightly. After Old Madam Jiang finished speaking, it was time for the dance. Although Old Madam Jiang was old, she was not old-fashioned. She had also learned how to dance when she was young. Jiang Yanshen invited the olddy to the floor for the first dance before the others led their femalepanions to join them. Jiang Yanshen returned to Lin Qingqian and bent down slightly to extend his palm in front of her. ¡°Beautifuldy, can I invite you to dance?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes moved from his handsome facial features to his palm, and her lips curved. ¡°Of course.¡± She ced her fair fingers on his palm and followed him gently onto the dance floor. When she turned around, she specially gave Lu Qinshang a look. After Lu Qinshang received it, he very gentlemanly invited Suisui to dance. Although she knew that Qianqian had specially arranged it, Suisui¡¯s face suddenly turned red at her idol¡¯s invitation. She handed her hand to him shyly. Lu Qinshang held her hand and walked into the crowd. He swayed slowly and said in a low and mellow voice by her ear, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. Just follow my rhythm. ¡± Suisui nodded shyly. At the thought of her hand on his waist, she could feel the sturdiness of his waist through his clothes. There were no excess fats. Ao ao ao!!! No, she couldn¡¯t think about it. If she thought about it again, her nose would bleed again. She couldn¡¯t lose face in front of her idol again! Under the resplendent crystal lights, the group danced. The melodious music was filled with young men and women dancing elegantly, especially pleasing to the eye. Old Madam Jiang and Qi Min smiled in relief. ¡°Look at howpatible these two children are.¡± Qi Min saw that they were a good match, but she remembered that Jiang Yanshen had treated Lin Qingqian badly previously. ¡°If that brat dares to bully my girl again, don¡¯t say that I won¡¯t give you face.¡± Old Madam Jiang smiled. ¡°If he bullies Qianqian again, I¡¯ll be the first to break his legs. ¡± With her words, Qi Min finally felt at ease. Luo Tianxue nced at the man holding a wine ss beside her and scoffed in disappointment. ¡°Qianqian is so good. I asked you to chase after her but you won¡¯t. Now, she¡¯s being hooked by Jiang Yanshen again.¡± Lu Dongcheng nced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°Don¡¯t you like Jiang Yanshen?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like him anymore, alright?¡± Luo Tianxue raised her chin proudly. ¡°Why should I like a man who rejected me?¡± At that time, she had actually been deceived by Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face. If she had known that he was such a dog, she would not even have confessed!! Lu Dongcheng shook his head helplessly and took a sip of red wine. Luo Tianxue turned to look at him. ¡°I¡¯m so bored.¡± When Lu Dongcheng heard this, he put down the wine ss in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll dance with you, alright?¡± Only then did Luo Tianxue smile. ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t have a femalepanion, and there were a few youngdies at the event location who kept expressing their good intentions to him. Unfortunately¡­ They were not his type. He couldn¡¯t help but think about that beautiful and elegant face. With just two short interactions, they didn¡¯t have the chance to exchange contact information. He couldn¡¯t chase after her even if he wanted to. Such a noble and knowledgeable woman probably didn¡¯t like rough men like him who worked in the wind and rain. For the umpteenth time, the thought of chasing after her was extinguished in the cradle. As Lin Qingqian danced with Jiang Yanshen, she nced at the guests not far away from the corner of her eye. As expected, she caught a pair of resentful eyes, and the smile on her lips couldn¡¯t help but deepen. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose against her. ¡°What bad deed are you nning?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes widened, her clear eyes filled with innocence. ¡°I¡¯m a timid person and have always followed the rules. How could I do something bad?¡± A person who used to follow her grandfather all over the mountains and wilderness said that she was timid and followed the rules. Jiang Yanshen would be a fool if he believed her. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so evil in the past?¡± His thin lips parted slightly, and his tone was filled with doting. In the past, she had always been obedient in front of him. Now that he thought about it, it was probably an act to seduce him. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curled up uncontrobly. ¡°I¡¯m not talking to you anymore. I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she let go of his hand and turned around without any reluctance. Jiang Yanshen stood rooted to the ground, his hands in his pockets, his dark eyes glued to her figure¡ª It was obvious that she had run away guiltily after her mask was exposed. When Lin Qingqian passed by the woman in the pink gown, she stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her.. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her low voice was only audible to the two of them¡ª Chapter 229 - 229: Without Bloodshed Chapter 229: Without Bloodshed Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions She said, ¡°Don¡¯t they look verypatible? I set them up.¡± Ling Shuang clenched her fists tightly by her side, her nails digging into her flesh. She stared fixedly at Lu Qinshang and Suisui, her eyes spitting fire. Lin Qingqian, you b*tch!!! In terms of family background and beauty, she was clearly the mostpatible with Lu Qinshang. But this b*tch Lin Qingqian actually set Lu Qinshang up with her best friend instead! ! The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around and walked out of the banquet hall. Lin Qingqian went ahead of her to the bathroom and stood at the mirror to apply her lipstick. From the corner of her eye, she saw the woman who came in, and the smile in her eyes became even brighter. Ling Shuang stared at her with faint interest¡­ She put away her lipstick and turned to look at Ling Shuang, her bright eyes rippling. ¡°Miss Ling, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Ling Shuang gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you did it on purpose.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and admitted without hesitation, ¡°Yes, I did it on purpose.¡± ¡°Why are you doing this to me!¡± Matching Lu Qinshang and Yan Sui together was even worse than killing her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes were calm as her lips curved. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be the one asking Miss Ling this?¡± Ling Shuang was stunned. Before she could react, she heard her rippling voice slowly ring out. ¡°When you helped Li Ruzhu stab me openly and secretly, did you think about today?¡± ¡°1¡ª¡± She immediately fell silent. ¡°When you worked with Sheng Yan to buy anti-fans and tried your best to nder me, did you think about today?¡± Lin Qingqian was wearing a lime-green dress today. Her long hair was dyed red, and the ends of her hair were curled just above her corbone. Her bright red lips were charming but not gaudy. She walked towards Ling Shuang in a pair of high heels of the same color. Every step seemed to crush her heart. Her face alternated between red and white. Her rationality was being gnawed away by anger bit by bit. She loosened her clenched fists in front of her and raised her hand to p her face. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows and eyes were light, and she didn¡¯t even blink. ¡°You have to think carefully. What are the consequences of this p?¡± Her arm immediately froze in midair. Consequences? Before she could think, she heard the woman¡¯s light and confident voice¡ª ¡°You saw how much Old Madam likes me today. Jiang Yanshen is so good to me that he won¡¯t leave my side.¡± ¡°If they find out that you hit me here, guess how long the Ling Family canst?¡± Ling Shuang¡¯s face gradually turned pale, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes. ¡°Actually, putting aside Jiang Yanshen, just by handing this to the media, you¡¯ll be consigned to eternal damnation!¡± Lin Qingqian took out a USB sh drive from her silver handbag. Ling Shuang asked with a pale face, ¡°What is this?¡± ¡®My assistant went to chat with Sheng Yan and bought it for 500,000 yuan.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°What do you think it is?¡± Ling Shuang knew best what she was referring to. When she realized what was on the USB sh drive, her vision darkened and she almost fainted. If word got out, not to mention her life being over, even her father would beat her to death!! At the thought of that bastard Sheng Yan, she was so angry that her entire body was trembling. Seeing the tears in her eyes and her trembling appearance, Lin Qingqian handed the USB sh drive to her without any hesitation. Ling Shuang was stunned. Her misty eyes stared at her in disbelief. ¡°You, you want to give me the USB?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to release in the first ce.¡± Lin Qingqian held her hand and ced the USB drive carefully in her pale palm. ¡°It¡¯s true that you¡¯re already an adult and can take responsibility for your actions, but can¡¯t you see through a person¡¯s character?¡± Ling Shuang was dumbfounded. Her lips trembled as she muttered, ¡°W-why?¡± Didn¡¯t she spend so much money to buy the USB drive to take revenge on her? Why did she give it to her now? She hadn¡¯t even begged her for it yet! ¡°There¡¯s no grudge between us to begin with. You were deceived by Li Ruzhu. It¡¯s not your fault for being ignorant.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips, looking very righteous. Ling Shuang: Initially, she was a little touched, but when she heard thest sentence, she was suddenly not touched anymore. ¡°I don¡¯t like to be enemies with others. Besides, you didn¡¯t do anything heinous.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Just take it that I¡¯m umting good karma.¡± Ling Shuang clenched the USB in her palm tightly, feeling a strong sense of guilt. Thinking of how she had scolded her in the hall just now and how she was repaying evil with kindness now, she felt even more ashamed and her tears fell unprepared. Her voice was choked. ¡°Th-thank you.¡± ¡°No need to thank me.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Remember to return the 500,000 yuan to me. You can send it to mypany through online transfers or checks. ¡± Suddenly, she didn¡¯t want to cry anymore. ¡°You¡¯re a dignifiedpany boss. Do you stillck 500,000 yuan?¡± She choked and scolded her for being petty. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°I don¡¯tck this 500,000 yuan, but we¡¯re not friends. Why should I spend 500,000 yuan for you?¡± She was just short of asking, ¡°Are you worthy?¡± Ling Shuang: She was actually speechless. She bit her red lips and sniffed. ¡°Lin Qingqian, even if you help me this time, I won¡¯t be friends with you.¡± Her friends were all rich second-generation heirs of Lan City. They didn¡¯t like Lin Qingqian¡¯s background. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s rare that we have the same opinion on something.¡± Ling Shuang raised her hand to wipe her tears. She felt that she was being mocked, but there was no evidence. ¡°Take your time crying. I¡¯ll excuse myself. ¡± With that, she turned around and walked to the bathroom door. She thought of something and turned around. ¡°By the way, Sheng Yan promised to sell the video to me for 500,000 yuan with the additional condition of helping him clear his name. I guess this isn¡¯t what you want to see.¡± ¡°Clear his name?¡± At the thought of that b* stard Sheng Yan, Ling Shuang¡¯s eyes immediately spewed fire. ¡°He¡¯s dreaming!!¡± Lin Qingqian was very satisfied with this oue. Before opening the door and leaving, she slowly said¡ª ¡°Suisui and Lu Qinshang are not together yet, but if you cause trouble for me again, I can¡¯t guarantee it.¡± With that, she closed the washroom door. Ling Shuang immediately felt like she had returned to heaven from hell. When she thought of how Lu Qinshang was still single, she couldn¡¯t help but feel happy! No, she should kill that b*stard Sheng Yan first!! She immediately took out her phone and called her sisters, asking herpany not to give Sheng Yan any more resources. She also wanted to find a few people to expose his dirt and make him never be able to make aeback. When Lin Qingqian came out of the washroom, she saw a man waiting not far away. As if sensing something, he looked up at her at the same time, his ck eyes rippling with the wind. Lin Qingqian walked in front of him. ¡°Why did youe out?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer and asked, ¡°Have you finished your bad deeds?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly as she said aggrievedly, ¡°I¡¯ve already said that I¡¯m the mostw abiding person. I never do anything bad.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t believe her. He nced at the washroom meaningfully. ¡°You don¡¯t need my help?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Lin Qingqian held his arm and walked towards the banquet hall. ¡°You really don¡¯t need it?¡± There was a hint of disappointment in her tone, and she felt as if she was not needed. ¡°The way you attack is too bloody. I don¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°Then what kind of method do you like?¡± ¡°Me!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I like to watch from the sidelines.¡± Ling Shuang was not a good person, and Sheng Yan was not a good person either. It was better to let them fight each other like dogs. This way, they would not have the time and energy to deal with her, and she could watch them fight. Wouldn¡¯t it be faster to resolve the matter without any bloodshed? The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went out. In the darkness, Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian pushed fiveyers of cake into the banquet hall. The light of the candles barely illuminated theyout of the venue. Everyone consciously made way and pped and sang a birthday song. The cake was pushed in front of Old Madam Jiang. The warm candlelight illuminated the relief and joy in her eyes. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian said in unison, ¡°Grandma, I wish you a happy birthday.¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded and said, ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Chongjing apanied the olddy and thoughtfully and meticulously helped her cut the cake. Wu Suyun helped from the other side and distributed the cake to the guests. Everyone had to give face to the birthday girl and take a bite of the cake. Old Madam Jiang also had a piece in her hand. She handed it to Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°Grandma, there¡¯s more. Eat first.¡± Seeing this, Old Madam Jiang ate it herself. Usually, she did not eat these things. Today was her birthday, so she ate a bit on ount of the happy asion. Jiang Yanshen handed the cake to her. ¡°Eat.¡± Lin Qingqian did not stand on ceremony with him. She took it and looked up at him. Before she even ate it, she felt the sweetness in her heart. Jiang Yunshen appeared out of nowhere and said, ¡°Big Brother is so biased. You gave the cake to Sister-inw but didn¡¯t give it to me!¡± Ever since he was forced by Jiang Yanshen to address Lin Qingqian as ¡°Sister-inw¡±, he was calling her ¡°Sister-inw¡± more and more smoothly. Old Madam Jiang red at him. ¡°How old are you to stillpete with your sister-inw for favor?¡± Jiang Yunshen argued indignantly, ¡°No matter how old I am, I¡¯m still a younger brother in front of Big Brother. He should take care of me.¡± Jiang Yanshen handed him the cake he had just received and said calmly, ¡°Choke on it.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡® He was so angry, but he still had to eat the cake. On the surface, Jiang Yanshen looked cold and disdainful of people, but the two pieces in his hands were distributed to Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yunshen. He did not leave any for himself. Old Madam Jiang looked at the harmonious appearance of the brothers and felt relieved. At least they¡­ would not be like before. As she thought about it, her heart suddenly ached, and her body stiffened. The cake in her hand fell to the ground. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen was the first to react. His exquisite and cold features turned pale with fright. The cake in Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand also fell to the ground. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Old Madam Jiang fell to the side. Jiang Yanshen was the closest and hugged her, his ck eyes filled with worry. ¡®Grandma¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen also threw away the cake in his hand and squeezed to the front. He saw that the olddy¡¯s face was pale and her eyes were red.. ¡°Grandma¡­ Grandma, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Chapter 230 - 230: Old Madam Jiang Is In Danger Chapter 230: Old Madam Jiang Is In Danger Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Bring the car!¡± Jiang Yanshen was the first to calm down. He said calmly, ¡°Inform the hospital to prepare for emergency treatment.¡± He carried the olddy and walked out. Jiang Yunshen reacted and hurriedly made the arrangements. As he followed behind him, he called Lu Yuan and the hospital. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s footsteps were as fast as a meteor as he was worried about the olddy. After taking a few steps, he thought of something and turned around to look in Lin Qingqian¡¯s direction¡­ Lin Qingqian was blocked by the guests and could not get through. Her bright eyes looked at him as if she was saying something. The event location was in chaos. Their gazes met at a certain point. After a few seconds, Jiang Yanshen retracted his gaze and walked out of the banquet hall. The surrounding guests finally dispersed a little. Lin Qingqian wanted to chase after them, but before she turned around, she looked at Qi Min. ¡°Master¡­¡± Qi Min knew what she wanted to say and waved her hand. ¡°Go quickly. Suisui will apany me backter.¡± At this moment, Suisui and Lu Qinshang also squeezed over. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll definitely send Master back safely.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s expression was serious. ¡°Go, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll send them back.¡± With Lu Qinshang¡¯s words, Lin Qingqian was relieved. She lifted her skirt and squeezed out anxiously. ¡°Please make way, make way¡­¡± Everyone looked confused. Some guessed that someone had poisoned her, and some guessed that the olddy was dying. On the other hand, Lu Dongcheng and Luo Tianxue, who were standing in a corner, had calm expressions. After all, it was not their Lu family¡¯s business. Lu Dongcheng held the red wine ss and gently rotated his wrist. He watched as the red wine hit the wall of the ss and slid down. His lips curled into a yful smile. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the Jiang family won¡¯t be at peace this time.¡± Luo Tianxue turned to look at him. ¡°Why do I hear a hint of gloating? Lu Dongcheng nced at her from the corner of his eye and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Who doesn¡¯t want a piece of Tianyue Group?¡± He was probably not the only person at the event location who had such thoughts. Luo Tianxue was not as scheming as him, but she wasn¡¯t stupid. If Lu Dongcheng wasn¡¯t ruthless back then, the Lu family wouldn¡¯t be led by him now. And she would long have been sent to some man¡¯s bed to exchange for benefits. Except¡ª She looked at themotion at the door with a trace of worry in her eyes. ¡°Qianqian shouldn¡¯t have gotten back together with Jiang Yanshen at this time.¡± Being sucked into the vortex of the Jiang Family was not a good thing. The corners of Lu Dongcheng¡¯s mouth curled up as he finished the wine in his ss. Hisrge palmnded on her shoulder and he said in a cold voice, ¡°Everyone has their own fate. She made her own choice¡­¡± As soon as Old Madam Jiang was sent to the hospital, she was pushed into the emergency room. Not long after, the entrance of the emergency room was in chaos. Other than Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun, there were also many other branches of the Jiang Family. When Lin Qingqian arrived, more than ten people had blocked the entrance of the emergency room. She could only see Jiang Yanshen standing at the door through the crowd. His cold features were covered in sweat, his hawk-like eyes were filled with worry, and his jawline was extremely tense. The side branches of the Jiang Family were talking at once, and it was so noisy that no one could hear who was speaking. The nurse came to remind them several times that this was a hospital and they could not make a fuss. Unfortunately, it was useless. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head and saw a green figure not far away. Her bright eyes were filled with worry as she looked at him. It was like a that wrapped tightly around his heart, tightening. ¡°Shut up! ¡± His thin lips pursed slightly, and his cold voice immediately silenced the event location. ¡°All of you, go back. You¡¯re not needed here.¡± The cold voice sounded again. ¡°Yanshen, you can¡¯t say that. We¡¯re just concerned about Old Madam, ¡± a distant aunt of the Jiang Family said. The others echoed her sentiments. Jiang Yanshen looked at her sharply, his gaze as sharp as a knife. The aunt¡¯s heart turned cold, but when she thought about how there were so many people, she stopped worrying. The atmosphere became oppressive and tense, as if the oxygen in the air had thinned. ¡°Alright, you can¡¯t help the olddy by standing here.¡± Jiang Chongjing stood up and spoke, breaking the stiff atmosphere. ¡°How about this? Suyun, bring them to a hotel near the hospital or a cafe to wait for news. If there¡¯s any news, I¡¯ll immediately inform everyone.¡± Seeing him say this, everyone dispersed and walked out. Lin Qingqian retreated to the side, her eyes looking in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s direction. With everyone gone, the corridor fell silent. Jiang Yanshen walked in front of her and looked down to see that the green high heels on her feet had been stepped on and were covered with dust. He took out a gray handkerchief from his pocket and squatted down to wipe the dust off her shoes bit by bit. Lin Qingqian wanted to evade, but his warm fingertips pinched her ankle. She could not move and let him wipe the dust off her shoes. Jiang Yunshen was worried about the olddy and did not look at them at all. Instead, Jiang Chongjing stared at Lin Qingqian with a dark gaze. Lin Qingqian sensed his gaze and looked up at him and then lowered her eyes, not taking him seriously at all. Jiang Yanshen stood up and threw the handkerchief into the trash can. Then, he held her cold hand andforted her. ¡°Grandma will be fine.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. An hourter, the door of the resuscitation room opened. Jiang Chongjing couldn¡¯t wait to go forward and ask, ¡°Doctor, how¡¯s my mother?¡± The doctor nced at him, took off his mask, and said to Jiang Yanshen, ¡°Old Madam is fine. The nurse will send her back to the wardter.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded, and Lin Qingqian thanked the doctor. The doctor: ¡°You¡¯re wee. The family needs toe to the office with me. I want to tell you about the olddy¡¯s condition in detail.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at Lin Qingqian and she said softly, ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll wait for Grandma here.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and left with the doctor. A trace of ruthlessness shed across Jiang Chongjing¡¯s eyes before he quickly followed. 20 minutester, Jiang Yanshen and Jiang Chongjing returned to the ward. Lin Qingqian stood up and looked at Jiang Yanshen without saying anything. Jiang Chongjing said, ¡°Thank you for taking care of my mother, Miss Lin. My wife will take care of herter, so we won¡¯t trouble you anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian still did not speak, her bright eyes looking at Jiang Yanshen quietly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat moved slightly, and his voice was low. ¡°I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to send you back first.¡± Lin Qingqian wanted to wait for the olddy to wake up, but when she heard him say this, she still nodded. Jiang Yanshen sent her to the door of the ward. Lin Qingqian stopped him. ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off. Lu Yuan is waiting for me downstairs.¡± Something quickly shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. As if he understood what she meant, he reached out and touched her cheek. ¡°Call me when you get home.¡± Lin Qingqian agreed and pursed her lips before turning to walk towards the elevator. Jiang Yanshen stood at the door of the ward and looked at her. If not for Jiang Chongjing being here, he would not have let her go. Before Lin Qingqian reached the elevator, she saw Wu Suyun walking over with a group of people from the Jiang Family. Perhaps because their minds were focused on the olddy, not many people noticed her. Seeing them walk past her, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but stop and turn around. She couldn¡¯t help but think¡ª How many of these people were really concerned about Grandma¡¯s safety? The air was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant. There was no wind in the corridor, but she inexplicably shivered and felt a chill spread throughout her body. Without any hesitation, she turned around and left the hospital. Lu Yuan and Brother Chen sent her back to the apartment together. Lu Yuan still had other things to deal with and left in a hurry. Brother Chen stood at the door of the apartment like a guardian god. Lin Qingqian did not call Jiang Yanshen. Instead, she sent a WeChat message to reassure him. Probably because he was busy, Jiang Yanshen did not reply. She went on Weibo again and didn¡¯t see any news about the Jiang Family. Jiang Yanshen must have sealed the news. This was good too. Otherwise, just the news of the olddy¡¯s illness would cause countless rumors. However, she didn¡¯t know if this matter was an ident or¡­ man-made? At the hospital, the other members of the Jiang Family branch wanted to visit the olddy, but they were blocked outside the ward by Jiang Yanshen. Only Jiang Yanshen and Jiang Chongjing¡¯s family were sitting in the ward. Jiang Chongjing deliberated for a moment and said, ¡°Yanshen, your uncles are all worried about Old Madam. Let theme in to see her.¡± Jiang Yanshen, who was sitting by the bed, nced at him casually. Jiang Chongjing continued, ¡°Everyone¡¯s surname is Jiang. We¡¯re a family. It¡¯s not good to make things too ugly. What if they go out and spout nonsense¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen felt that his words were very reasonable and looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Brother, my father is right. Let them take a look and let them leave after that.¡± Wu Suyun stood at the side and did not say a word. In the Jiang family, she would always have no presence. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes drooped. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°They can sit on the sofa and watch if they want to.¡± Jiang Chongjing still wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words. ¡°Alright.¡± He turned around to open the door and exined the situation to everyone. The Jiang Family branch was naturally dissatisfied with Jiang Yanshen treating them like this. However, the power was in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hands, so they could onlye in and stand by the sofa to look at the olddy on the bed. After saying a few indifferent words of blessing, they returned. The ward finally quietened down. Jiang Chongjing gave Wu Suyun a look. When she received it, she pursed her lips and said, ¡°Yanshen, I¡¯ll take care of Mom here. Go back and rest.¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without looking up, ¡°No need.¡± Before the olddy woke up, he would not go anywhere. Seeing his determined attitude, Wu Suyun looked at her husband helplessly. Jiang Chongjing wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice. ¡°Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you can go back and rest. Yunshen and I will be here.¡± Jiang Yunshen was called out and hurriedly said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Mom, Dad, go back and rest. We¡¯ll take care of Grandma here.¡± Jiang Chongjing cursed his heartless idiot son in his heart, but his face was still calm. ¡°Alright, thank you for your trouble.¡± With that, he red at Wu Suyun and turned to leave. Wu Suyun lowered her head and followed behind him silently. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s attention was on the bed and he did not notice it, but Jiang Yanshen calmly took it in and smiled mockingly. ¡°Take care of Grandma. I¡¯ll go out for a while.¡± Yunshen nodded. Jiang Yanshen walked out of the ward and called Gu Xici¡­ Chapter 231 - 231: Dog Food Critical Attack Chapter 231: Dog Food Critical Attack Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The call was picked up very quickly and Gu Xici¡¯s low voice came through. ¡°Ah Yan, the results are out.¡± After Jiang Yanshen carried the olddy out of the banquet hall, the others had left, leaving Gu Xici in the banquet hall. He brought the cake, te, and fork that the olddy had eaten back to the station and asked his friend to do a test. Jiang Yanshen did not say anything and quietly listened to him finish. After ending the call, he saw Lin Qingqian¡¯s WeChat message and quickly replied. Lin Qingqian had just changed her clothes and removed her makeup. When she heard her cell phone ring, she didn¡¯t even have time to blow dry her hair. She hurriedly walked out of the washroom and picked up the cell phone on the sofa to take a look. Jiang Yanshen: Grandma is fine. You cane and see her tomorrow. Lin Qingqian¡¯s worried heart finally rxed, and she replied with one word: ¡°Alright.¡± After some thought, she typed another line of words and sent it over. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Take good care of yourself and be careful. Jiang Yanshen: Okay. Lin Qingqian thought that he must be very busy now and did not reply. She opened the shopping app to see what she could buy that was suitable for patients. The next day, before dawn, Lin Qingqian woke up and entered the kitchen to cook porridge. When the sun rose, she pushed open the door and saw Brother Chen. ¡°Good morning, Brother Chen.¡± Brother Chen lowered his eyes. ¡°Good morning, Miss Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I want to go to the hospital to see Grandma.¡± ¡°Director Jiang has instructed me. The car is ready,¡± Brother Chen replied. Lin Qingqian nodded and walked towards the elevator with Brother Chen following behind her. As it was still early, there were not many cars on the road. They quickly arrived at the hospital. Lin Qingqian got out of the car and went upstairs alone. She walked to the ward and knocked on the door. Soon, someone came over to open the door. When he saw Lin Qingqian, he was stunned. ¡°Why are you here so early?¡± Hearing his low voice, Lin Qingqian knew that Grandma was definitely not awake yet. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°I made porridge for Grandma. I still have to go to thepany after seeing her.¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled her hand in. Only then did Lin Qingqian see Jiang Yunshen lying on the sofa and sleeping. ¡°The two of you guarded Grandmast night?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°He refused to leave, so I let him be.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. She didn¡¯t expect Jiang Yunshen to be so filial. ¡°Go wash your face and brush your teeth. I brought you breakfast.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and turned to walk to the washroom. There was a spare disposable toothbrush and toothpaste. After washing up briefly, he walked out and saw Lin Qingqian taking out breakfast. It was a portion of nutritious porridge with an egg. When Jiang Yanshen sat down, Lin Qingqian knocked his head with the egg. The sound was especially crisp in the ward. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen were both stunned. One looked at Grandma, and the other looked at Jiang Yunshen. After confirming that they were not woken up, they looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help but lower their heads and snicker. Jiang Yanshen picked up the nutritional porridge and slowly drank it. Lin Qingqian sat at the side and peeled the egg for him. Jiang Yunshen smelled the faint fragrance of porridge and slowly opened his eyes to see such a scene. Big Brother held a bowl and a spoon in front of Lin Qingqian, coaxing her in a low voice, ¡°Have a bite.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve eaten.¡± Big Brother insisted on bringing the spoon to her mouth. She could not dissuade him and was about to open her mouth when Big Brother quickly retracted the spoon and lowered his head to kiss her.. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Damn it! What sin had hemitted to suffer such a blow so early in the morning? And the sight was from his own brother!! He decisively closed his eyes again and continued to pretend to be dead. Lin Qingqian was shocked by him and reached out to p his arm. Her bright eyes warned shyly, ¡°Don¡¯t mess around.¡± The corners of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up, and a smile spread into his ck eyes. After Jiang Yanshen had breakfast, Old Madam Jiang slowly woke up.. Chapter 232 - 232: Grandma Urges to See a Marriage, Dog of a Man Knows How to Dote On People Chapter 232: Grandma Urges to See a Marriage, Dog of a Man Knows How to Dote On People Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was ted. ¡°Grandma, you¡¯re awake.¡± Old Madam Jiang was also very happy to see her, but her voice was soft and weak. ¡°Why are you here so early?¡± ¡°There were too many people yesterday, so it was not convenient for me to stay and wait for you to wake up. So, I came to see you earlier today.¡± Lin Qingqian sat down on the chair beside the bed and reached out to hold her hand. ¡°Grandma, you really frightened me yesterday.¡± Old Madam Jiang patted her hand gently. ¡°Grandma is fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded slowly. ¡°I made porridge. Do you want to eat some?¡± She didn¡¯t have much of an appetite, but since it was made by Lin Qingqian, she still nodded. Jiang Yanshen went to the kitchen to get a clean small bowl and spoon. Lin Qingqian poured the porridge from the thermos into the bowl. This porridge was different from Jiang Yanshen¡¯s. The olddy had just woken up and couldn¡¯t eat oily food and meat, nor could she eat anything heavy. She could only drink some in porridge. Old Madam Jiang looked at the two of them standing together and couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Since the two of you have decided to get back together, when are you going to remarry?¡± Seeing that her body probably couldn¡¯tst much longer, she wanted to see them settle down before she left. Lin Qingqian was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect Grandma to suddenly mention the matter of remarriage and didn¡¯t know how to answer. Jiang Yanshen raised the pillow for her and said in a low voice, ¡°Qianqian just epted me. There¡¯s no hurry to remarry. It¡¯s not like we¡¯ve never been married before.¡± Old Madam Jiang: Although they had already been married once, they had gathered less after marriage and spent less time together. In the end, they ended up getting a divorce. This time, they should indeed not be in a hurry. ¡°Qianqian, Grandma is not rushing you, I¡¯m just worried about my body¡­¡± Lin Qingqian realized what she was about to say and immediately interrupted her. ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t talk nonsense. Have breakfast.¡± The olddy thought for a moment. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s stop talking and have breakfast.¡± Lin Qingqian carefully fed her porridge. She originally had no appetite, but probably because she saw that Lin Qingqian was happy, she unknowingly finished the small bowl of porridge. Jiang Yanshen wiped her mouth with a tissue. Lin Qingqian was about to go to the kitchen to wash the bowls after cleaning up when she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep voice. ¡°Leave it there. I¡¯ll wash itter.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and nced at him. Jiang Yanshen threw the tissue into the trash can as if nothing had happened. When she turned around and walked into the kitchen, Old Madam Jiang nodded in satisfaction. ¡°Not bad. You know how to dote on people now.¡± Lin Qingqian had just walked out of the kitchen when she heard his low voice say, ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy to get her back. How can I not dote on her?¡± Her fair face suddenly turned red. When Old Madam Jiang saw her, she waved and said, ¡°Qianqian,e over and talk to Grandma. ¡± Lin Qingqian walked over. When she passed by Jiang Yanshen, her eyes moved, and there were ripples caused by the wind. Jiang Yanshen stared at her gently with his ck eyes, his lips curling up uncontrobly. When Lin Qingqian sat down, Old Madam Jiang held her hand and sighed. ¡°Qianqian, it¡¯s not easy for the two of you to be together. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you can¡¯t give up so easily, understand?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded obediently. ¡°I understand, Grandma.¡± Old Madam Jiang¡¯s expression was pleasant. ¡°Yanshen, call thewyer over this afternoon.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the olddy. ¡°Did you hear me?¡± Seeing the olddy¡¯s firm attitude, he could only nod. ¡°I¡¯ll inform Lawyer Zhang toe over.¡± The olddy nodded and chatted with Lin Qingqian for a while before falling asleep again. Lin Qingqian gently ced her hand under the nket and stood up. ¡°I¡¯m going back to thepany.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°I won¡¯t send you over.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head and said softly, ¡°No need. Brother Chen will send me.¡± Brother Chen? This form of address made Jiang Yanshen frown. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± He picked up her handbag and sent her to the elevator. Lin Qingqian thought of something and turned to look at him. ¡°About Grandma¡­ Jiang Yanshen understood what she meant. ¡°Everything that Grandma touched yesterday was fine, and so was the blood test.¡± What he meant was that it was just an ident. After all, the olddy was not in good health, so it was normal for her to have some health scares. Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯lle and see Grandma tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and said as he walked, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head with a puzzled gaze. ¡°Grandma woke upst night, but she didn¡¯t have any appetite and didn¡¯t listen to anyone¡¯s advice.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her, his eyes so hot that they seemed to melt her. ¡°Only you can coax her.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Grandma dotes on me so much. Isn¡¯t this what I should do?¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and pinched her cheek. ¡°Grandma really dotes on you.¡± There were some special meaning hidden within his words. However, the elevator had just arrived, so she had no time to ask further. She could only enter the elevator first and ask when she had the chance next time. Jiang Yanshen watched the elevator door close before turning to walk back to the ward. Jiang Yunshen was still lying there motionless. Jiang Yanshen walked over and kicked his leg. ¡°Stop pretending and get up.¡± After a while, Jiang Yunshen slowly opened his eyes, which were filled with resentment. ¡°You clearly know that I woke up early, but you still deliberately unted your love. Is there anyone like you as a big brother?¡± Jiang Yanshen sat down, his hawk-like eyes raised. ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy, you can show it.¡± ¡® Jiang Yun was furious. He didn¡¯t even have a girlfriend. What was there to show! He casually grabbed a bolster beside him and hugged it to vent his anger. Seeing his childish actions, Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and pursed his thin lips without saying anything. Jiang Yunshen waited for a long time but didn¡¯t hear him speak. He couldn¡¯t help but look up at him. ¡°Big Brother, aren¡¯t you going to coax me? Don¡¯t you see that I¡¯m angry?¡± Jiang Yanshen was expressionless as he looked at him with his ck eyes. ¡°Idiot.¡± Jiang Yunshen was even more unhappy and wanted to back out of his embarrassment. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°Go out and buy food by yourself.¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Jiang Yunshenpletely exploded. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re too much. She brought you and Grandma breakfast. Why didn¡¯t she bring any for me?¡± Thest sentence was almost squeezed out of his throat. ¡°Lower your voice. Grandma is resting.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes turned cold as he warned. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s anger immediately dissipated by more than half. He punched the pillow unhappily. Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. He turned his head and said in a cold voice, ¡°Breakfast is in the kitchen.¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned for a moment before revealing his cute little canine teeth and smiling. ¡°I knew she wouldn¡¯t be so stupid.. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold eyes shot over¡­ His voice stopped abruptly. He threw away the pillow and stepped over the coffee table, heading straight for his breakfast. Jiang Yanshen looked at his happy back and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head¡­ Lin Qingqian returned to thepany to work as usual. During lunch, Suisui ran over to gossip with her. She found out that a lot of Sheng Yan¡¯s dirt had been dug out, and the entire Inte was scolding him. Ling Shuang and the other rich girls hadpletely isted him, and no one in the circle dared to have anything to do with him. Suisui sighed as she ate. ¡°Qianqian, what method did you use to make Ling Shuang mess with that damned Sheng Yan like this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a secret!¡± Lin Qingqian said coldly. ¡°Tsk!¡± Suisui rolled her eyes at her. ¡°Forget it! But how¡¯s Old Madam Jiang?¡± Lin Qingqian thought of Grandma and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Fortunately, she woke up.¡± Suisui turned her head and looked around the cafeteria. She lowered her voice and said, ¡°I heard that the olddy suddenly copsed because of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s second uncle. Is that true?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her head and nced at her. Her voice was very calm. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to the nonsense outside. The olddy¡¯s health isn¡¯t good. It¡¯s just an unexpected situation.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Suisui nodded. After a moment of silence, she said worriedly, ¡°I heard that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s second uncle is not a good person. Qianqian, you have to be careful.¡± ¡°I know.¡± She put down her chopsticks. ¡°I¡¯m not eating anymore. Take your time.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Suisui was stunned. Before she could speak, she saw her get up and leave. She blinked. ¡°Did I say something wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian walked out of the cafeteria and had to cross the road to reach thepany. When she reached the intersection, it was a red light. She stopped and waited. She was thinking about Suisui¡¯s words. It was not because she had said something wrong, but because she was right, she was worried. She had seen Jiang Chongjing three times herself. Every time, she felt inexplicably ufortable, and a chill kept spreading from the bottom of her heart to her limbs and bones. How could a person who could even attack his own brother be soft-hearted towards Jiang Yanshen? When the light turned green, Lin Qingqian put away her distracting thoughts and crossed the road. It was lunch break and there were not many people in thepany. Everyone had gone to eat. Lin Qingqian was about to return to the office when she inadvertently saw Su Ying¡¯s back view from the corner of her eye¡­ ¡°Xiao Ying, why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± The sudden voice frightened Su Ying. She turned around in panic, her eyes hesitant, and she hid her hands behind her back. ¡°S-Sister Qingqian¡­ Lin Qingqian saw through her at a nce. Even if she was suddenly frightened, she shouldn¡¯t have such an expression. His gazended on her hands hidden behind her back. His bright eyes narrowed slightly as he said softly, ¡°What¡¯s that in your hand?¡± Su Ying shook her head. ¡°N-nothing.¡± Lin Qingqian walked in front of her unhurriedly. Her slender arms were raised, and her palm was stretched out in front of her. Su Ying bit her lip tightly and looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes, almost crying. ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡± ¡°Xiao Ying, don¡¯t make the scene too ugly.¡± Su Ying saw determination in her eyes. Her hands behind her clenched tightly, and after a moment, she let go. She slowly ced her right hand in front of her, holding a ck man¡¯s suit. Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes suddenly widened, and her breathing stopped. Su Ying looked at her, her hand trembling as she held the suit. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and grabbed the clothes, looking down¡­ No one was more familiar with this suit than her. But she had clearly locked this suit in the closet. She turned around and walked towards the closet. Su Ying called out to her with a sobbing voice, ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡¯ Chapter 233 - 233: Who Was the Old Madam Defending Against? Chapter 233: Who Was the Old Madam Defending Against? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian strode to the closet and locked the door with her fingerprint. The moment she pulled it open, she saw the clothes Jiang Yanshen had bought hanging on the hanger. She looked at the clothes on the hanger and then down at the clothes in her hand. The two clothes were exactly the same. Even the cloth was the same. Su Ying was not holding the one Jiang Yanshen had given her! But why did she have an identical one? There were countless questions and confusion in her mind. When she heard footsteps, she turned her head to look at Su Ying, who was standing at the door. She frowned slightly and turned to walk in front of Su Ying. She raised the clothes in her hand and asked, ¡°Why do you have the same clothes?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Su Ying opened her mouth and hesitated. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and asked patiently, ¡°Xiao Ying, you should know how much I trust you, and trust is as precious as diamonds in this era.¡± Su Ying¡¯s eyshes trembled as she ced her hands uneasily in front of her and intertwined them. After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip and said, ¡°I¡­ I¡­ found it.¡¯ ¡°Found it?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows and continued asking. Su Ying nodded. ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯m not lying to you. I really found it.¡± Seeing her anxious expression and tears in her almond-shaped eyes, Lin Qingqian believed that she was not lying. ¡°Where did you find it? And who threw it away?¡± Su Ying¡¯s face turned paler and paler, and her eyes turned more and more guilty. However, she couldn¡¯t withstand her gaze and braced herself to say, ¡°Thepany¡¯s trash can¡­ it was thrown away by¡­ Designer Han!¡± ¡°Xiao Bai?¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. Su Ying nodded with extreme difficulty. ¡°Yes, I saw that the clothes were simr to yours, and they were new, so I picked them up¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind went nk with a buzz. Then, memories surged into her mind like seawater. From the first time they met in the guest room, to their daily interactions, to what he had said, to how he had helped her block the sulfuric acid.. The seeds that had long been nted in her heart immediately broke out of the ground and grew savagely. Without thinking, she grabbed the clothes and walked out. Su Ying turned around and called out to her, ¡°Sister Qingqian, Sister Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian acted as if she did not hear anything. ¡°What should I do? What should I do?¡± Su Ying was as anxious as a cat with its tail stepped on. Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly picked up her phone to make a call¡­ Lin Qingqian walked out of thepany and saw Brother Chen. She stretched out her hand. ¡°Give me the car keys. I want to go out.¡± Brother Chen did not give it to her. ¡°Miss Lin, where are you going? I¡¯ll send you there!¡± ¡°Give me the car keys,¡± Lin Qingqian repeated. When she looked at him with her clear eyes, there was an irresistible force. Brother Chen was silent. In the end, he handed her the car keys. Lin Qingqian took the car keys and walked to the car. She ced the clothes on the front passenger seat and walked around the front of the car to sit in the driver¡¯s seat. She said to Brother Chen, who had followed her, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to follow me.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly started the car and sped away. In the hospital, in the ward. When Jiang Yanshen received the call, he only said calmly, ¡°Got it.¡± After ending the call, he turned to look at the olddy on the hospital bed and said in a low voice, ¡°Have you decided?¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded. ¡°I¡¯m already so old and don¡¯t have many years to live. I have to do what needs to be done in advance, lest, lest¡­¡¯ She said ¡°lest¡± twice in a row but did not continue. Jiang Yanshen understood what she meant and turned to look at Lawyer Zhang beside him. ¡°Lawyer Zhang, sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. This is my job.¡± Lavvyer Zhang took out a few documents from his briefcase and handed them to the olddy. At the same time, he also handed her a fountain pen. ¡°After signing it, this will have legal effect. When you leave, I¡¯ll announce the will in public.¡± At the side, Lawyer Zhang exined, ¡°Of course, if you want to change anything during this period, you can contact me at any time.¡± Old Madam Jiang held the fountain pen and signed without thinking. Then, she handed the document to him. ¡°There¡¯s nothing else. Just follow this.¡± Lawyer Zhang took the document and checked the signature to confirm that there was no problem. He put it into the document bag and said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Old Madam Jiang: ¡°Go.¡± Lawyer Zhang bowed slightly to Jiang Yanshen and turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen stood by the hospital bed and looked at her, his thin lips twitching. ¡°You¡¯re harming her.¡± Old Madam Jiang red at him. ¡°I can¡¯t wait to dote on her!¡± ¡°Second Uncle won¡¯t be happy if he finds out,¡± Jiang Yanshen said honestly. Old Madam Jiang snorted. ¡°I can give my shares to whoever I want.¡± Jiang Yanshen stuffed his hands in his pockets and remained silent. Old Madam Jiang¡¯s body was weak and she was in a bad state to begin with. At this moment, she was sleepy. ¡°You should go and work too. Madam Liu will take care of me here.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and turned to walk to the door of the ward. When his fingers held the cold metal and turned it, he turned around to look at her¡­ ¡°You split the shares in three. Who exactly are you guarding against?¡± His cold voice sounded slowly, its arc mixed with mockery. Without waiting for the olddy to answer, he pulled open the door and left. Lin Qingqian had gone to Han Liubai¡¯s ce before, so she found it easily this time. After registering with the guard, she entered the neighborhood and drove to the door. She got out of the car and pressed the video doorbell. No one answered it. Lin Qingqian waited for a few minutes and pressed the button again, but no one answered it. Didn¡¯t he say that he was not feeling well and was resting at home? Why wasn¡¯t he at home? She took out her phone and was about to make a call when a gentle and slightly surprised voice came from behind. ¡°Director Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and saw a tall man slowly walking towards her. Under the ring sun, his face was pale and his expression was calm, as if there was a cool breeze around him. Han Liubai walked up to her with a smile. ¡°Why are you suddenly here?¡± ¡°1¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian opened her mouth, but she couldn¡¯t say a word. Seeing that she was silent, Han Liubai said considerately, ¡°It¡¯s hot outside. Let¡¯s go up first.¡± He opened the door with his key card and pulled it open for her like a gentleman, indicating for her toe in. Lin Qingqian carried the bag in her hand and followed him in. Han Liubai opened the door and invited her into the house. As he poured water into a cup, he asked casually, ¡°Is there something urgent?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him and her throat tightened. She choked a few times before saying, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not feeling well and are resting at home?¡± Han Liubai turned around and walked to her side, handing her the water. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just that the medicine I need is finished, so I went to the hospital to get more.¡± Lin Qingqian took the water but did not drink it. Han Liubai turned around and walked towards the sofa. ¡°Come and sit.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before walking over and sitting on the soft sofa. She ced the cup in her hand on the coffee table. Han Liubai turned his head to look at her and said gently, ¡°Director Lin, what¡¯s wrong with you today? You seem strange.¡± Who exactly was this man? Could he be the person she thought he was? ¡°Director Lin?¡± Han Liubai called out to her. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and pinched the space between her thumb and index finger with the hand that was holding the bag. Then, she let go and curled her red lips. ¡°I saw a piece of clothing with Su Ying today. She said that you threw it away.¡± She took the clothes out of the bag and showed them to him. When Han Liubai saw the clothes, he looked a little surprised, but he did not say anything. Lin Qingqian added, ¡°This dress should be unique in the world. There¡¯s only one piece and I¡¯ve locked it in the closet.¡± ¡°Why do you have an identical one? And why did you throw it away?¡± Han Liubai ced his hands in front of him and subconsciously clenched his fists. ¡°1¡ª¡± Just as he opened his mouth, he heard Lin Qingqian ask, ¡°Xiao Bai, who exactly are you?¡± Han Liubai looked at her and pursed his pale thin lips. ¡°Director Lin, listen to me¡­¡± ¡°Are you him?¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted him again and looked at him with her clear eyes. She was not angry, but curious, expectant, or even¡­ worshipful. ¡°You¡¯re Master L, right?!¡± Her puzzled words werepletely affirmative. Other than Master L, no one else in this world could make the same clothes. It was only because he was Master L that so many coincidences could be exined. After he came to Shi Guang Studio to apply for a job, White chose to work with Shi Guang Studio. When Shi Guang Studio worked with Z magazine, White supported them. When Z magazine¡¯s investment was withdrawn, White immediately invested in them¡­ All of this was too coincidental! Han Liubai clenched his fists tighter and tighter. His clear eyes met hers, and his throat moved. For a moment¡ª The word ¡°it¡¯s me¡± had already reached his lips, but he finally swallowed it back. ¡°Director Lin, what are you talking about?¡± He rxed his fists and smiled. ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m¡­ Master L? This is too exaggerated!¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°You¡¯re not Master L?¡± Had she guessed it wrongly? Han Liubai nodded. ¡°Of course not!¡± Lin Qingqian did not believe his words. ¡°How do you exin this dress?¡± Han Liubai looked at the clothes in her hand. ¡°I imitated Master L¡¯s work and made this dress. I didn¡¯t expect you to be mistaken.¡± ¡°Imitation?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart was filled with doubts. ¡°But this dress is clearly identical to Master L¡¯s. Why did you throw it away? ¡°Of course we have to throw away a failed work.¡± Han Liubai shrugged helplessly. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and did not say anything. Han Liubai took the dress and flipped it open, pointing to a seam, ¡°The stitching under the arm is wrong, and it doesn¡¯t look good on the shoulder. Plus, every garment by Master L has his unique signature. Do you see that on this counterfeit piece?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes narrowed. Looking carefully at the ce he said, it was indeed wrong. Moreover, the dress did not have Master L¡¯s unique signature. That was Master L¡¯s habit. There were never any exceptions. She had really made a mistake. He wasn¡¯t Master L? Awkwardness surged in her thin eyes. She stole a nce at him and quickly lowered her gaze. ¡°I originally knew that you were sad that you didn¡¯t manage to get that piece of work, so I wanted to use this fake to make you happy!¡± Han Liubai said indifferently, his tone helpless. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to already have the real thing. Moreover, I only knew that my imitation had failed when I saw the real thing. ¡± ¡°I originally nned to throw it away to avoid embarrassment. I didn¡¯t expect Su Ying to pick it up and you saw it, causing a misunderstanding..¡± Chapter 234 - 234: Steel Refined into Softness Chapter 234: Steel Refined into Softness Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The hope in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes was extinguished bit by bit. Her white teeth bit her red lips lightly, and her simple and elegant face was filled with unconceble embarrassment. She didn¡¯t expect such a misunderstanding to happen! Han Liubai looked at her with his gentle eyes. Afraid that she would not believe him, he added, ¡°Director Lin, have you ever thought about why I woulde to your studio if I¡¯m really Master L?¡± Lin Qingqian was stumped by his question. That¡¯s right. Why would Master L choose toe to her Shi Guang Studio? ¡°If I were Master L, and you saved me, I would have many ways to repay your kindness. There¡¯s no need to be your employee!¡± The more he spoke, the colder Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart became. She realized how ridiculous and ttering her suspicions had been all along! ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. Her face was burning hot. When she got up, she saw the dress on the coffee table and said, ¡°Since this dress is yours, it¡¯s considered returning to its owner now.¡± With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Han Liubai to send her off. Her slender back was almost escaping in panic! Han Liubai stood up and looked at her leaving. The smile in his eyes dissipated bit by bit and finally turned into a pool of silent stagnant water. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t help but lower his head and cough, his face turning even paler. A slender figure slowly walked down from the second floor. Her gaze shifted from the door to Han Liubai and she walked over to put the coat on him. ¡°President Han, why didn¡¯t you admit it directly? She really reveres you!¡± Han Liubai stopped coughing and looked at her disdainfully. His voice was hoarse. ¡°She looks up to that Master L, but I just want to be Xiao Bai, who can stay by her side at the same level as her.¡± Xu Wan fell silent, an unknown emotion shing across her eyes. ¡°Do you still remember your purpose ining to Lan City?¡± The words were about to leave her mouth when she swallowed them. Ever since Han Liubai started his business, she had followed him all the way. She Imew better than anyone how difficult it was for him. Now, he finally found a girl who could make him want to be an ordinary person¡­ She couldn¡¯t bear to break his humble hope. The air conditioner in the room was sting, and the temperature was very low. Han Liubai gathered his clothes and said gently, ¡°Help me prepare a gift to thank Su Ying.¡± If not for her calling to inform him, his identity would probably have been exposed by Lin Qingqian. Xu Wan nodded. ¡®Yes.¡± ¡°She¡¯s very smart and too meticulous. Don¡¯te over too often in the future. If there¡¯s anything, just call.¡± Xu Wan¡¯s thin eyshes lowered to hide the darkness in her eyes. She said, ¡°Alright.¡± Su Ying sat in her seat and nibbled on her fingernails uneasily. When she saw Lin Qingqian walking in dejectedly, she stood up and said, ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and nced at her. She nodded without saying anything. Su Ying followed behind her and asked carefully, ¡°Sister Qingqian, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I want to be alone.¡± Lin Qingqian walked into the office and closed the door. Su Ying stood at the door with aplicated and conflicted expression. Rewinding time to the night she was dragged into the alley. She was trembling with fear. When the hand on her mouth rxed and she was about to scream, a familiar voice sounded in her ear. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to scare you.¡± ¡°Designer Han?¡± Su Ying turned around and saw a familiar face. She was stunned. Han Liubai¡¯s lips moved. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there are some things that I can¡¯t say in the office or on the phone, but you¡¯ve been avoiding me recently, so I can only do this.¡± Su Ying¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and her lips trembled slightly. ¡°Designer Han, why are you looking for me¡­?¡± Han Liubai looked at her gently. ¡°You should have guessed my identity, right?¡± Su Ying looked at the handsome man in front of her and her heart ached. ¡°You¡¯re really¡­ Master L?!¡± Even though she already had the answer in her heart, she still couldn¡¯t believe it. Han Liubai didn¡¯t deny it. The document she saw was already irrefutable evidence. ¡°Can I ask you something?¡± he asked. Su Ying hesitated. ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Can I ask you to help me keep this secret and not tell anyone?¡± His eyes were even gentler than the moonlight. His slightly pale face looked sickly beautiful, making it difficult to refuse his request. Su Ying¡¯s heart was beating very quickly. Her emotions were leaning towards him, but there was still some rationality in her mind. ¡°Why? Why did youe to ourpany?¡± ¡°What do you want to do to Sister Qingqian?¡± Although she was not smart, she had been a celebrity¡¯s assistant before. She Imew that there were many dirty things in the industry. If a person hides their identity and stays by another person¡¯s side, they must have a motive. Sister Qingqian had done her a favor. She couldn¡¯t let Sister Qingqian down! Han Liubai¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of approval as he said gently, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t tell you the reason, but I can guarantee that I won¡¯t do anything to hurt Lin Qingqian. Is that okay?¡± Su Ying blinked and said doubtfully, ¡°Really?¡± He nodded. ¡°If I really wanted to hurt her, I wouldn¡¯t have helped her block the acid.¡± Su Ying thought about it and agreed. If not for him helping Sister Qingqian block that attack, Sister Qingqian would have been disfigured now. It was also because of this that she didn¡¯t tell Sister Qingqian the truth for a long time. ¡°Alright, I can choose not to tell Sister Qingqian.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± He smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze. ¡°Then can you stop avoiding me like before?¡± Su Ying nodded hesitantly. Han Liubai¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll send you to the entrance of the district.¡± Her wandering thoughts were gradually pulled back. Su Ying faced Lin Qingqian¡¯s office door and pursed her lips, saying silently, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Qingqian. ¡± Jiang Chongjing found out about the amended contents of Old Madam Jiang¡¯s will. When he found out that his name was not on the will, he was furious and smashed everything in the room. The servants were all chased away by him. No one dared toe up, and he was not afraid of being overheard. ¡°That damn old woman would rather give her shares to an outsider than give them to me!¡± Wu Suyun stood in a corner of the wall and didn¡¯t dare to speak when she saw him furious. ¡°You want to pave the way for that little bastard Jiang Yanshen? Alright¡­ I want to see who will have thestugh!¡± Jiang Chongjing took a few deep breaths and red at the woman who had no presence. ¡°Clean up the ce.¡± With that, he waved his hand and left. Wu Suyun¡¯s expression was calm as she squatted down to clear up the mess on the ground. As soon as Jiang Yunshen returned, he saw the mess on the ground. He frowned and said in aining tone, ¡®What¡¯s wrong with Father again?¡± Wu Suyun looked up at him and said in a gentle voice, ¡°Yunshen, he¡¯s your father. You can¡¯t talk about him like that.¡± Jiang Yunshen pursed his lips and pulled her up. ¡°Mom, stop. I¡¯ll get the servants to clean upter.¡± Wu Suyun looked up at him, her eyes filled with love. ¡°Yunshen has grown up and knows how to dote on people.¡± Jiang Yunshen raised his chin. ¡°I¡¯ve already grown up long ago. You¡¯re the ones who¡¯ve always treated me like a child.¡± Wu Suyun smiled, her smile filled with worry. ¡°When can you be like Yanshen? Mom won¡¯t have to be worried about you if you can be more like him.¡± Jiang Yunshen frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. ¡®Why do I have to be like Big Brother? Isn¡¯t it good for me to be like this?¡± Before she could speak, he said, ¡®What¡¯s so good about Big Brother? He¡¯s so busy all day. It¡¯s so tiring. I don¡¯t want to! I¡¯m fine like this!¡± Wu Suyun said helplessly, ¡°Have you never thought of helping your brother share some of the burden? Or recing your brother yourself?¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s expression changed slightly and he said unhappily, ¡°Can you not be like Father! Big Brother is more capable than me. It¡¯s enough for the Jiang Family¡¯s Tianyue Group to have him. As for me¡ª¡± ¡°I just want to be Second Young Master Jiang for the rest of my life. I can work in thepany and apany you when I¡¯m free!¡± Wu Suyun reached out and touched his face. ¡°I know you¡¯re a good child. Mom was just saying it casually! If you don¡¯t want to, so be it. Your happiness is the most important.¡± Jiang Yunshen held her arm and ced his head on her shoulder. ¡°I knew Mom dotes on me the most. Mom, I haven¡¯t eaten your food in a long time.¡± Wu Suyun looked down at him with doting eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make it for you tonight.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mom. I¡¯ll go back to my room first!¡± Jiang Yunshen quickly kissed her cheek and turned to run. Wu Suyun was stunned by him, and her eyes turned red. Jiang Yunshen walked to the door and thought of something. He turned around and said, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to clean up. I¡¯ll call the servants to clean up¡­¡± Wu Suyun nodded and watched him run out with a smile. The smile on her face darkened bit by bit. She only wanted her son to be happy and peaceful for the rest of his life, but Jiang Chongjing¡­ It was dusk, and the traffic on the road was endless. When Lin Qingqian walked out of thepany, she saw a ck Cayenne parked by the roadside. Lu Yuan stood at the door. ¡°Miss Lin¡­¡± It was obvious that Jiang Yanshen was in the car. As soon as she got into the car, she was hugged by Jiang Yanshen. The faint smell of his cologne assaulted her nose. It was clearly very cool in the car, but her face heated up. She whispered, ¡°There¡¯s other people watching.¡± Before she could finish speaking, the partition in the middle slowly lowered. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yanshen smiled. ¡°Now that no one is watching, can I kiss you?¡± Before she could say anything, Jiang Yanshen had already kissed her lips. They hadn¡¯t had time to be alone for the past two days, so their kiss was a little out of control. If not for the fact that they were in the car, Jiang Yanshen wouldn¡¯t have been able to hold it in. Lin Qingqian sat at the side and tidied her clothes. Her eyes were filled with coquettishness as her delicate lips pursed. ¡®Why did you suddenlye to pick me up?¡± ¡°I want to see you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s straightforward expression made her heart burn. She looked at him sideways and the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°I realize that you can say sweet nothings so easily now.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to hug her and let her lean into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. ¡°Is it bad?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes curved into crescents. ¡°Does this count as me refining steel into something soft?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded without hesitation. ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian hugged his firm waist with both hands.. His smell surrounded her, and she couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°What cologne did you use?¡± Chapter 235 - 235: Lin Qjngqian Was Caught Off guard by His Cute expression Chapter 235: Lin Qjngqian Was Caught Off guard by His Cute expression Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied. Meeting her disbelieving gaze, his thin lips curled up. ¡°I¡¯ve 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 ced it in the office.¡± 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 didn¡¯t smell outdated. Seeing her sniffing like a puppy, a smile appeared in the corners of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. ¡°Since you like it so much, I¡¯ll use it in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After returning to the apartment and changing her shoes, Lin Qingqian walked in and tied her hair up with a headband. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her. ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself. Get Lu Yuan to buy something and send it over.¡± ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to get off work early. I¡¯ll make dinner myself!¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll make some minced meat noodles and a dish of cucumbers with vinegar.¡± Seeing that she was interested, Jiang Yanshen did not stop her. ¡°Alright.¡± He also liked to eat the food she made. hilt he was afraid that it would be very tiring for her to cook aftering 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 hisputer 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 fragranceing 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 ck eyes, they were filled with the smell of human life. Sensing that he was at the door, Lin Qingqian turned around and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s almost done. Go wash your hands.¡± 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 spat in her hand. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s burnt¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen let go of her and saw from the corner of his eye that the smokeing out of the pot was ck. Lin Qingqian hurriedly turned off the fire and red at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Jiang Yanshenughed even after being scolded. He leaned gently against the washstand behind him, his ck eyes smiling. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± ¡°Yes?¡± she replied as she stir-fried the spices. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± He called her again. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Before she could get angry, Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and enjoyed her lips again. ¡°I want to see you angry at me.¡± He swallowed his words and smiled faintly. ¡°Nothing. I just want to call your name.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and met his warm eyes. She swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth and red at him. ¡°Wash your hands and eat. ¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and walked towards the washroom. When he passed by the living room, his cell phone suddenly rang¡­ He picked up the call first, and the smile on his lips suddenly sank. After ending the call, Lin Qingqian happened toe out. Seeing that his expression was not right, she asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t have dinner with you anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked apologetic as he walked up to her, holding his cell phone tightly. ¡°Li Gun went to the hospital to look for Granny.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard this, she knew that it must be something bad. Li Gun was not so kind as to visit Grandma. ¡°Then hurry up and take a look.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. When he saw the noodles she brought out, he felt a little regretful. ¡°I¡¯ll save the noodles for you. Go and see Grandma quickly.¡± Lin Qingqian caught the pity in his eyes and said softly. Jiang Yanshen shook his head. ¡°No need. Don¡¯t wait for me at night. Rest early.¡± He hugged her with his long arms, turned around, picked up his suit, and left. Lin Qingqian¡¯s 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 Yanshen¡¯s 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 couldn¡¯t be happy no matter what and did not have much of an appetite. She left half of the noodles for Jiang Yanshen and gave the rest to Brother Chen, who was guarding the door. Brother Chen felt ttered. He held the bowl with a wooden face and stiffened his limbs, not knowing how to react. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Just leave the bowl at the door after eating. I¡¯m going to rest.¡± 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 Inte, she found out that many people had seen Li Gun causing a scene in the hospitalst night. The public rtions department of the Tianyue Group tried their best to suppress it, but the news online was like a wildfire that couldn¡¯t bepletely wiped out. It was very difficult topletely clean it up. Lin Qingqian was worried about Grandma¡¯s health and called Jiang Yanshen. The phone rang for a long time before someone picked up. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hoarse voice came from the phone. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡¯ ¡°Is Grandma alright?¡± Hearing his voice, she felt more at ease. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°She¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Qingqian asked again, ¡°What about you?¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent. His breathing entered her ears through the electric waves, tightening her soft heart. ¡°Do you want Shen Zhiwei to go to you?¡± she asked worriedly. She vaguely felt that the Jiang Family could easily touch his emotions and make him lose control. ¡°It¡¯s not suitable for her toe over now.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°I¡¯ll find time to go overter.¡± Lin Qingqian quickly thought of Jiang Chongjing. If they found out about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s illness, they would inevitably make a big fuss. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let Shen Zhiweie to my ce? They know our rtionship anyway.¡± If he used her as a cover, it wouldn¡¯t arouse suspicion. Jiang Yanshen was silent for a long time before saying, ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian asked Shen Zhiwei toe over at night. In order to make it easier for them, she specially went online to buy a recliner that was delivered that day andid out a beige nket. Before Shen Zhiwei came, she lit incense that soothed one¡¯s mood and prepared a pot of lemon water. Shen Zhiwei knocked on the door on time. Lin Qingqian opened the door for her. ¡°There¡¯s no need to change your shoes. Come in.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Zhiwei walked in with her bag. ¡°Jiang Yanshen isn¡¯t here yet. Sit down for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian poured tea for her. Shen Zhiwei sat down in the living room with a professional smile on her lips. ¡°Thank you, Miss Lin. There¡¯s no need to be so polite.¡± Lin Qingqian handed the cup to her. ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Doctor Shen.¡± Shen Zhiwei took the ss 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 herputer 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 didn¡¯t dare to make a sound. After all, her house didn¡¯t have any soundproofing. An hourter, the door opened gently. Lin Qingqian stood up and turned her head to see Shen Zhiweiing out. She gently closed the bedroom door. ¡°How is he?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°He¡¯s asleep. He should remain asleep for three to four hours,¡± Shen Zhiwei replied in a low voice. ¡°Three to four hours?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°He has a sleep disorder to begin with. His condition did improve previously, but it seems to have worsened recently,¡± Shen Zhiwei replied. ¡°Then his illness¡­¡± Lin Qingqian wanted to say something but hesitated, her bright eyes filled with worry. Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯ve already tried my best. The rest will depend on him and you, Miss Lin.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°Director Jiang has stabilized a lot recently. I think Miss Lin must have contributed a lot to this.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s calm voice sounded faintly. She had no intention of teasing her. ¡°Your care andpanionship has a certain soothing effect on Director Jiang.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. Was that so? Shen Zhiwei thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, don¡¯t panic when Director Jiang wakes upter. Just wait for him to fall asleep again.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°You mean¡­¡¯ ¡°That personality still exists in the end. It¡¯s not a good thing to suppress it for too long,¡± 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 floormp barely illuminated the room. Jiang Yansheny 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 nket on the bed to gently cover him. Perhaps sensing the warmth, Jiang Yanshen moved and instinctively wrapped the thin nket around him, but he did not wake up. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t 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 Gun and Jiang Chongjing, what are they going to do to him! Her slender fingersnded 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 couldn¡¯t help him. If only she could be stronger. As Lin Qingqian thought about it, shey 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 ck and pure eyes. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. Before she could react, she heard a childish ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m hungry.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°X-Xiao Jiu is hungry?¡± She was still not used to Jiang Yanshen suddenly transforming into Jiang Xiao Jiu. Jiang Xiao Jiu nodded. ¡°Big Sister, can you cook for me?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded hesitantly. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu blinked. ¡°Minced meat noodles.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused, and surprise shed across her clear eyes. Was it a coincidence? Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Xiao Jiu widened her dark and innocent eyes and pouted. ¡°Big Sister, I want to eat minced meat noodles. Is that okay?¡± Lin Qingqian was caught off guard by his cute expression and her heart softened. She no longer hesitated.. ¡°Sure!¡± Chapter 236 - 236: Dogs Will Always Be Dogs, But It’s Not Necessarily the Same for Men Chapter 236: Dogs Will Always Be Dogs, But It¡¯s Not Necessarily the Same for Men Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions There were ready-made seasonings in the fridge. She would cook another portion of noodles and she just needed to mix them together. Lin Qingqian worked very quickly and was done in less than 20 minutes. Jiang Xiao Jiu sat at the dining table and immediately smiled when she saw here out with the minced meat noodles. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you like to eat. Add some side dishes yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the side dishes on the tray. Jiang Xiao Jiu picked up his chopsticks, picked up some bean sprouts, some cucumber shreds, and a lot of meat sauce. When Lin Qingqian saw this, her eyes curved. ¡°Xiao Jiu likes to eat meat very much.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu nodded. ¡°Meat is delicious.¡± He added vinegar and sesame oil and stirred it continuously. His movements were a little too big, and the sauce in the bowl dripped onto the table. He didn¡¯t care as he lowered his head and started eating. Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Xiao Jiu in front of her. It was really difficult to associate him with that mysophobic, gloomy, and domineering Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s delicious!¡± As Jiang Xiao Jiu ate, he looked up and said, ¡°Big Sister, your minced meat noodles are so delicious.¡± There was sauce on both sides of his mouth, but he didn¡¯t notice it. He waspletely like a child. Lin Qingqian took a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly. ¡°Eat more if you like it.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu lowered his head and continued eating. Soon, the bowl was empty. Fortunately, Lin Qingqian cooked a lot of noodles and mixed another bowl for him. Jiang Xiao Jiu couldn¡¯t help but burp after eating. He turned his head and smiled foolishly at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m so full.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re full. Go take a shower and sleep after eating.¡± She got up and went to the room to get his pajamas. When she walked out, she asked worriedly, ¡°You know how to take a shower, right?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu said unhappily, ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m nine years old. Of course I know how to take a shower.¡± Lin Qingqian handed the pajamas to him. ¡°Then go take a shower obediently. I¡¯ll wash the dishes.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu carried his pajamas and went to take a shower. Lin Qingqian went to wash the dishes and tidied up the kitchen. When she came out, Jiang Xiao Jiu also came out of the bathroom. His hair was wet and dripped onto his pajamas. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you drying your hair?¡± Lin Qingqian hurriedly took a clean towel to wipe his hair. Jiang Xiao Jiu lowered her head obediently. ¡°It will dry by itself.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll catch a cold.¡± Lin Qingqian educated him gently. Jiang Xiao Jiu thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Big Sister will help me wipe it.¡± Lin Qingqian: In this aspect, he was very simr to Jiang Yanshen!! However, he was not as bad as Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen would even impose his requirements on others when they helped him. Lin Qingqian nimbly wiped 70% of his hair dry. Jiang Xiao Jiu said impatiently, ¡°Big Sister, let¡¯s go to sleep. I¡¯m sleepy.¡± He couldn¡¯t help but yawn, his eyes filled with tears. Lin Qingqian touched his hair. ¡°Alright, go to sleep.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu pulled his hand and walked towards the room. ¡°Sleep, sleep. I¡¯m so tired.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could react, she was pulled onto the bed and her arm was tightly hugged by him. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, we can¡¯t sleep together!¡± Lin Qingqian sat at the side and bent over to talk to him. ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu narrowed her eyes and muttered, ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Big Sister is a girl, and Xiao Jiu is a boy. There¡¯s a difference between men and women!¡± Lin Qingqian exined to him patiently. ¡°I don¡¯t understand. I¡¯m sleepy. I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± After saying that, Jiang Xiao Jiu hugged her even tighter. Then, not long after, he let out even breathing. Lin Qingqian: ¡® If only Jiang Xiao Jiu could give some of his ability to sleep to Jiang Yanshen. She tried to pull her arm out, but he hugged her very tightly. The moment she moved slightly, he hugged her even tighter. Helpless, she could only give up. She nced at the rm clock by the bed. It was already three in the morning. She should indeed sleep. Shey down beside him and covered him and herself with a thin nket. She closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep. The next day. Lin Qingqian was in a daze from her sleep. She felt something tickling her face. Because she saw Jiang Xiao Jiu before she went to bedst night, she subconsciously said, ¡°Xiao Jiu, stop fooling around.¡± Endless silence. Lin Qingqian felt a chill run down her spine. She suddenly opened her eyes and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s abyss -like eyes. Her heart couldn¡¯t help but beat faster. ¡°Ah, Yan¡­ Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips pounced over like a wild beast and bit her delicate lips. ¡°Jiang, Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± She tried to call his name, but he kissed her even more roughly. There was a tearing sound under the thin nket. Every muscle on Lin Qingqian¡¯s body stiffened, and her eyes were moist¡­ Sensing the woman in his arms trembling, Jiang Yanshen paused and looked up at her, his dark eyes as hot as magma. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips were ravaged by him. Her eyes were misty, and she did not dare to touch her lips¡ªit hurt. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat moved and he squeezed out two words after a long time. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Qingqian trembled even more. Her slender fingers let go of his pajamas and she hugged his neck. Her voice was trembling¡ª ¡°I thought, I thought you were going to bully me.¡± His appearance just now was too terrifying. Her actions made Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart tighten. He lowered his head and kissed her face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s my fault¡­ I couldn¡¯t control myself for a moment.¡± When he heard her call another man¡¯s name after waking up, he went crazy and lost his rationality. Lin Qingqian hugged his neck tightly and continued to use him. ¡°I almost thought that you were going to kill me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart was filled with guilt as he pressed his forehead against hers. ¡°No, I won¡¯t.¡± Lin Qingqian let go of him slightly and looked at him with her bright eyes. ¡°Why are you so angry? ¡± Jiang Yanshen hesitated. Lin Qingqian exined softly, ¡°He came outst night to eat minced meat noodles and hugged my hand when he slept. I thought he was teasing me just now.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened and his jaw tightened. He didn¡¯t say anything for a moment and only got up from her body. He got off the bed, picked up the pajamas on the ground, and put them on. Lin Qingqian sat up. When the nket slid down, she reached out and lifted it up. She watched his back view leave, her heart filled with confusion. When Lin Qingqian changed her clothes and walked out of the room, she saw Jiang Yanshen sitting on the sofa with his head lowered in silence. Lin Qingqian walked over and sat down beside him. She turned her head and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses when he heard this. He turned his head to look at her and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll go change.¡± With that, he ignored Lin Qingqian and stood up to walk to the room. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at his back. She was even more confused. What was wrong with him! ! Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even look at her the entire morning until he went out. It was as if he had returned to the cold, arrogant, and emotionless Dog of a man from before! Lin Qingqian originally thought that he was just in a bad mood because Jiang Xiao Jiu came out and would recover in a few days. In the end, he did not treat her well for a few days and did not send her his usual WeChat messages. Lin Qingqian wanted to talk to him a few times, but he either wanted to rest or go out, causing Lin Qingqian to be angry. Was she spoiling him too much recently? This person¡¯s habit of ignoring others after throwing a tantrum had returned! Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t take it anymore and posted on her Moments. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard today: A dog will always be a dog, but it¡¯s not necessarily the same for a man. After posting it on her Moments, Lu Qinshang was the first toment. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Aiyo! Someone stepped on a mine! Luo Tianxue: ¡°You can¡¯t keep a dog by your side. Hurry up and throw him away. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome replied to Luo Tianxue: F*ck, poaching someone in public. Do you have any shame? Luo Tianxue replied to the Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: ¡°How dare you talk to me about shame with a name like yours?¡± Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome replied to Luo Tianxue: ¡® Detective Gu: ¡°I have someone here who specializes in training police dogs. Do you need help?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t be bothered with their teasing and threw her phone aside to focus on her work. After a while, she couldn¡¯t help but pick up her phone to look at WeChat. There was no news. A notification from her Moments: 19+ messages. It was all Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue¡¯s nonsense. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard: Do I need to utilize the cklist function here? Lin Qingqian opened WeChat. The first message was from Jiang Yanshen. When she opened it, it was still the kiss emoji that he had learned from her previously. Dog of a man! He turned hostile just like that. And he wouldn¡¯t evene and coax her after turning hostile?! If he didn¡¯t coax her, so be it! Lin Qingqian went all out and blocked him! She immediately felt much better. She could finally work in peace. In the private clubhouse, a few people were looking for fun. Only Jiang Yanshen sat in the corner, neither letting the women get close nor drink. He held his phone as if he was in a daze. ¡°Director Jiang,e and y!¡± Someone invited warmly. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyelidszily and nced at him without saying a word. Lu Dongcheng hugged a fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged girl and smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t talk to him. He¡¯s frustrated about how tofort the tigress.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± The others cast curious gazes. Lu Dongcheng held a cigarette in his mouth and said word by word, ¡°Tigress at home.¡± Instantly, the private room fell silent. Everyone looked at Jiang Yanshen strangely, as if they were saying, ¡°Impossible! How can Director Jiang be afraid of his wife!¡± Someone who was not afraid of death spoke his mind. Jiang Yanshen looked up again, his eyes sharp! That person immediately shrank his head and wanted to y dead. Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He put away his cell phone and stood up to leave. Lu Dongcheng raised his eyebrows. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid of my wife!¡± Jiang Yanshen said without looking back, ¡°Don¡¯t look for me for such activities in the future.¡± The others: ¡® Lu Dongcheng: ¡® After that, he couldn¡¯t help but curse again, ¡°F*ck, shameless!¡± When Jiang Yanshen returned to the apartment, Lin Qingqian had just returned from visiting Grandma in the hospital. When she met Jiang Yanshen at the door of the building, she looked away and turned to enter in just a second. Jiang Yanshen followed her into the elevator. After leaving the elevator, she opened the door with her key and was about to close it before he could enter. Jiang Yanshen quickly held the door open and called out softly, ¡°Qianqian.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s simple and elegant face was expressionless as she said coldly, ¡°Let go.¡± Jiang Yanshen would definitely not let go. Lin Qingqian decisively kicked his knee and mmed the door while he was recoiling from the pain. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian threw her handbag on the sofa, her heart filled with anger. Dog of a man, it¡¯s toote! Chapter 237 - 237: Give Me a Chance to Coax You, Okay? Chapter 237: Give Me a Chance to Coax You, Okay? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen was locked outside the door for a long time before he took out his key and opened the door. Lin Qingqian was cooking dinner in the kitchen. The oil and smoke machine emitted a buzzing sound, and there was a faint fragrance of food. Jiang Yanshen stood at the kitchen door for a long time, but Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t seem to see him. He could only go to his room to change first. When they were eating, Lin Qingqian only brought out a bowl of rice and sat down to eat by herself,pletely treating him as air. Seeing that she was still ignoring him, Jiang Yanshen could only get up and go to the kitchen to scoop some rice for himself. Lin Qingqian turned her head and red at him with her clear eyes filled with ¡°killing intent¡±. Jiang Yanshen put down the bowl cooperatively and said in a low voice, ¡°I won¡¯t eat. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°It wasn¡¯t made for you to eat in the first ce.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, her voice cold. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°You cooked for two.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°That¡¯s for the dogs.¡± Jiang Yanshen silently picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of rice. As long as she wasn¡¯t angry, if she wants to think of him as a dog, he¡¯ll be a dog. Seeing his obedient attitude, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but feel amused. She was usually so good to him, but he didn¡¯t appreciate it. He had to force her to re up! After dinner, Lin Qingqian still refused to talk to him. She washed the dishes and took a shower, then took out a pillow and nket from the room and threw them on the sofa. ¡°You¡¯ll sleep on the sofa tonight. If not, you can leave.¡± With that, she turned to return to her room. She had just taken a step when a slender arm pulled her into his arms. His warm breath apanied by a low and hoarse voice entered her ears. ¡°Give me a chance to coax you, okay?¡± Half of Lin Qingqian¡¯s body was numb. She turned around and deliberately looked up with a straight face. ¡°Alright, how are you going to coax me?¡± This instantly stumped Jiang Yanshen. He knew that he had to coax her, but he did not know how. Lin Qingqian pried his hand away. ¡°Come and look for me after you¡¯ve thought it through.¡± Jiang Yanshen grabbed her arm and lowered his head. ¡°Let me out of the blocked list first.¡± He had been testing out the functions of WeChat for a while and knew the uses of WeChat very well. After seeing her Moments in the afternoon, he wanted to send her a WeChat message immediately. In the end.. After sending it, he realized that he had been blocked! ¡°Are you bargaining with me now?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. Jiang Yanshen held her arm and refused to let go. His low and hoarse voice coaxed her patiently, ¡°Qianqian, let me out of the cklist first. I¡¯ll give you whatever you want.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could speak, he suddenly lowered his head even more. His warm Dreatn sprayed on ner small race as ne said m a noarse voice, ¡°1 can even give you my life.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she looked up and rebuked, ¡°Who wants your life?¡± Jiang Yanshen realized that she might not be angry anymore and pulled her into his arms. ¡°You don¡¯t want it, but I want to give it to you.¡± Lin Qingqian waspletely speechless. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile. ¡°I don¡¯t want it even if you give it to me. Jiang Yanshen, don¡¯t give me a sweet speech every time you p me.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± Lin Qingqian red at him. ¡°Say that again?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. The desire to live that had grown over the past few days made him change his words. ¡°I was wrong. It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Lin Qingqian pointed at the sofa behind him. ¡°Sit down.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at the sofa and then at her. In the end, he sat on the sofa obediently. Lin Qingqian moved a chair from the cafeteria and sat down. Her slender legs ovepped as she crossed her arms in front of her and asked in an interrogative manner, ¡°Why were you angry that morning?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes flickered and his heartless lips pursed tightly. He did not answer for a moment. Lin Qingqian frowned tightly and said in a slightly cold voice, ¡°If you don¡¯t tell me, disappear from my house immediately.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes for a few seconds and looked at her. He said calmly, ¡°You called his name that morning.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t I exin? It¡¯s because that night¡­¡¯ ¡°Qianqian!¡± Jiang Yanshen interrupted her. His voice was tense and low. ¡°You didn¡¯t reject him, and even made him minced meat noodles and slept with him.¡± Lin Qingqian vaguely understood something and tried to exin. ¡°That¡¯s because he was hugging my hand. Moreover, he¡¯s a split personality of yours. Strictly speaking, he¡¯s also you.¡± ¡°He¡¯s him, and I¡¯m me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and cold voice was solemn. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯m not the same person as him.¡± Even though they shared the same body, they were ultimately not the same person. She had subconsciously called that person¡¯s name in her sleep. Didn¡¯t that mean that she actually¡­ That person¡­ was more important in her heart? Lin Qingqian finally understood that his abnormality these few days was because¡ªhe was jealous. And the target was his own nine-year-old child split personality! This realization made her feel a little helpless and amused. Seeing his serious expression, she held it in. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t make minced meat noodles for him in the future, nor will I sleep with him. I¡¯ll beat him up, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her, his thin lips curling up as he asked ambiguously, ¡°Qianqian, can you not understand your heart clearly?¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and blinked. ¡°What?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t exin. He stood up and hugged her tightly. When he lowered his head, he could smell the fragrance of her hair. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Do you think he¡¯s better than me?¡± Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, are you stupid from jealousy? How can I like a nine-year-old child?¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his ck eyes. His throat bobbed twice, but he didn¡¯t say anything in the end. Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender and slightly cold fingers held his cheek and rubbed it forcefully¡­ Jiang Yanshen looked at her with surprise in his eyes. She was getting bolder and bolder. She even dared to rub his face. When Lin Qingqian saw his frown from being rubbed and how he didn¡¯t dare to speak because he was afraid that she would be angry, the corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up, and she felt much better. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, the person I like is you. Other than you, there¡¯s no one else.¡± Her light voice sounded slowly, and every word hit Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart like a thousand kilograms. The light in his ck eyes gradually became thick and hot like magma. He removed her hand that was ravaging his cheeks and lowered his head to kiss her lips. The warm breath and dry and soft touch made the two of them a little confused. Jiang Yanshen wanted to take a step closer and carry her to the room, but Lin Qingqian pushed him away first and ran a few steps away. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°¡­Qianqian.¡± Lin Qingqian calmed her messy breathing and raised her chin. ¡°In order to prevent you from ignoring me so casually next time, you¡¯ll sleep on the sofa tonight.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s habit of ignoring people at the drop of a hat couldn¡¯t be tolerated! Jiang Yanshen stood up and walked towards her. His ck eyes were burning as he reached out to grab her hand. Lin Qingqian realized that something was wrong and immediately ran towards the room. In the end, she was still carried back to the sofa by him. His warm breath blew against her ear, tugging at her heartstrings. ¡°I can sleep on the sofa tonight. Release me from the cklist first.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What if I say no?¡± Jiang Yanshen pressed her against the sofa and started unbuttoning his shirt with one hand¡­ Lin Qingqian instantly panicked. ¡°I¡¯ll release you, I¡¯ll release you¡­ Don¡¯t take it off.¡± Jiang Yanshen paused and looked down at her. Lin Qingqian pointed at the phone on the coffee table. Jiang Yanshen stood up and handed it to her. Lin Qingqian took the opportunity to sit up and tidy up her clothes. She took her cell phone and opened WeChat. She searched for his contact in her friends list and removed the cklist setting. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s increasingly cold eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously wanted to run¡­ Jiang Yanshen was even faster. He grabbed her shoulder and leaned down. His low and hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°Dog of a man? Qianqian, are you getting more and more difficult to subdue?¡± The word ¡°subdue¡± carried a strong charm. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face heated up as she muttered softly, ¡°I¡¯ll change it. Can¡¯t I change it?¡± She had always saved his WeChat name as Dog of a man, but she did not expect him to catch her red-handed. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and saw her little hand tapping on the cell phone quickly. In less than a minute, she changed it for him to see. His name was changed from Dog of a man to ¡°Ah Yan¡± with a pink heart. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s furrowed brows finally rxed. He lowered his head and bit her red lips. His low and hoarse voice warned, ¡°If I find out that you secretly changed my name again behind my back, watch how I deal with you!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t change it anymore. I won¡¯t change it in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. She wasn¡¯t stupid. How could she fall into the same pit twice! Jiang Yanshen stood up and let go of her before turning to leave. Lin Qingqian thought that he was still angry and hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ve already changed it. Where are you going?¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. His ck eyes were hot and helpless. He frowned and squeezed out a word. ¡°Shower.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a second. When her gaze swept across something when he turned around, she burst outughing. When Jiang Yanshen heard this, although he was helpless, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. The next afternoon, Lin Qingqian returned home from work. The moment she opened the door, she saw boiled fish slices, stir-fried meat, and a te of spicy crayfish on the dining table. Jiang Yanshen walked out of the kitchen with a bowl and chopsticks in his hand. He was still wearing her green floral apron. This scene was really¡­ strange. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his bowl and chopsticks and took off the apron that affected his image. Then, he said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m coaxing you.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Last night, she said that she would give him a chance to coax her, but he bought takeout to ¡°cook¡± for her again? Jiang Yanshen seemed to have seen through her thoughts and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°1 made it myself this time.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the dishes on the table and asked suspiciously, ¡°Really?¡± Before Jiang Yanshen could answer, a head popped out of the kitchen. ¡°It¡¯s true. Miss Qingqian, I can testify.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Song Qin. ¡°Director Jiang came back in the afternoon to prepare it. I taught him how to make it. Five pots were burned in the afternoon.¡± Song Qin even raised her white and wrinkled hand and said, ¡°I was the one who washed the ten catties of crayfish.. My hand was even cut!¡± Chapter 238 - 238: Qjanqian, 1 1 m Done Coaxing You. It’s Your Turn to Coax Me Chapter 238: Qjanqian, 1 1 m Done Coaxing You. It¡¯s Your Turn to Coax Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The credit could not be snatched away by Director Jiang! Jiang Yanshen shot a cold gaze over. Song Qin immediately reacted. ¡°Take your time eating. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Usually, she was used to snatching credit from Lu Yuanyuan. In the end, she forgot herself and couldn¡¯t stop herself from snatching the credit from Director Jiang in front of Madam. If she didn¡¯t leave now, her bonus would probably be deducted. Sob, sob, sob. When Lin Qingqian saw Song Qin running away like a tornado and her lips couldn¡¯t help but curve. She looked at Jiang Yanshen with her bright eyes. ¡°Are you nning to use this table of dishes to coax me?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°Not enough?¡± He had never entered the kitchen before. He had spent the entire afternoon attempting these dishes. He was even more serious than when he was making a deal for a billion-dor project. ¡°It¡¯s not enough!¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°How else can I coax you?¡± ¡°Hm¡­¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a moment, and her gazended on the red and fragrant crayfish. ¡°Finish peeling this entire pot of crayfish.¡± When Jiang Yanshen saw the crayfish, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her suspiciously, wondering if she did it on purpose. He didn¡¯t like such hard shells, so he asked Song Qin to wash them. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°You¡¯re not willing? Forget it if you¡¯re not willing!¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled her to sit down and reached out to take a crayfish. He fiddled with it a few times before peeling off the head and tail, leaving only the meat on the tail intact on her te. When he looked at her, he seemed to be saying, ¡°Is this enough?¡± Lin Qingqian revealed a satisfied expression. As she dipped it in the sauce, she said, ¡°How can you have the cheek to let a delicate girl like Song Qin wash the crayfish?¡± He really didn¡¯t know how to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex. As Jiang Yanshen peeled the crayfish for her, he tilted his head slightly and looked at her, his expression calm. ¡°There¡¯s no difference between male and female employees in Tianyue Group.¡± To him, there were only those who were capable and those who were not. Of course, thetter was not worthy of staying in Tianyue Group. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s so miserable being your employee.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°What about my girlfriend?¡± ¡°It¡¯s also very miserable.¡± Lin Qingqian answered truthfully. Seeing Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gradually gloomy expression, she added unhurriedly, ¡°But that was in the past. It¡¯s pretty good now.¡± The corners of Jiang Yan¡¯s deep mouth slowly curled up, and he became more and more familiar with peeling the crayfish. For the entire meal, Jiang Yanshen barely ate anything and was only serving Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s stomach was about to burst from eating. She really could n¡¯t anymore. ¡°If you don¡¯t like spicy food, I¡¯ll make something not spicy for you.¡± He didn¡¯t eat much at night. Jiang Yanshen held her hand and stood up. ¡°We agreed that I would coax you today, and I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Lin Qingqian was pressed back onto the chair. This was the first time Jiang Yanshen had cooked and washed the dishes for her. He did not let her interfere the entire time. Lin Qingqian ate a mouthful of garlic paste and ran to the washroom to rinse her mouth. When she returned, she saw him standing in the kitchen washing the dishes. She picked up her phone and took a photo before posting it on her Moments. Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard today: A boyfriend who doesn¡¯t know how to cook and wash the dishes isn¡¯t a good one. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: It¡¯s shameful to show off your love! ! Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard¡¯s reply to Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Why are you always the first toment? Did he have nothing to do all day? Second Young Master Jiang: F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!! Big Brother actually cooked for you personally and even washed the dishes! He has never cooked for me before! ! Lin Xiaoqian Has To Work Hard¡¯s reply to Second Young Master Jiang: ??? Detective Gu: . Luo Tianxue: Qianqian, my brother actually knows how to cook too¡­ Lu Dongcheng replied to Luo Tianxue: Why don¡¯t I know that I can cook? Lin Qingqian watched them bicker and couldn¡¯t help butugh. She didn¡¯t notice that Jiang Yanshen had already finished cleaning up and was walking towards her. ¡°Why are you so happy?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked. Lin Qingqian hurriedly put away her cell phone and did not let him look. ¡°Nothing.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and watched him enter the bathroom. Jiang Yanshen quickly took a shower and came out to let Lin Qingqian in. When Lin Qingqian finished showering, she realized that there was an additional jar of wine and a cup on the coffee table. ¡°You can¡¯t drink.¡± Lin Qingqian walked over and said in a light voice. His emotions had been unstable recently. It would be terrible if he drank again. Jiang Yanshen held her hand and let her sit beside him. ¡°I¡¯m not drinking. You drink.¡± ¡°Why would I drink?¡± Lin Qingqian looked puzzled. ¡°I¡¯m happy.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯srge palmnded on her cheek and touched it gently. His freshly washed face was like a peeled boiled egg, tender and smooth. ¡°I¡¯m happy, but I can¡¯t drink, so help me drink.¡± ¡°What are you happy about?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. She had never heard of anything major happening in Tianyue Group recently. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were warm. He lowered his head and leaned closer to her ear. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a happy thing to be able to make you happy? Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart softened. She wasforted by his words of love. She turned her head and met his burning eyes. The corners of her mouth couldn¡¯t help but curl up. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll drink.¡± In any case, her alcohol tolerance was not bad, and she wouldn¡¯t get drunk from this small jar of wine. Jiang Yanshen brought the wine ss to her mouth and fed it to her bit by bit. The alcohol content of this type of wine was not that high, but it was not low either. After drinking two catties of in white wine, Lin Qingqian¡¯s face began to turn red. Her cheeks seemed to have turned red, and her redness was very cute. Jiang Yanshen was happy to see this. It was unbelievably soft, and he poured her another cup. Lin Qingqian was full and feltfortable drinking wine at this moment. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I didn¡¯t learn Grandpa¡¯s brewing skills.¡± Her soft voice was like the sound of nature when itnded in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ears. He couldn¡¯t help but lower his head and kiss her face. ¡°You like to drink your Grandpa¡¯s wine?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll make wine for you in the future,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a low and hoarse voice. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and smiled. ¡°You don¡¯t drink, and you don¡¯t even know how to cook. How can you make wine?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and breathed in her ear. His low voice was very pleasant to the ears as he said, ¡°I can learn. I¡¯ll give you all the wine I brew, okay?¡± Thest syble was raised slightly, filled with the meaning of coaxing. Perhaps it was the aftereffects of the alcohol, Lin Qingqian¡¯s face turned redder and redder. Her head started to feel a little dizzy, but she was still conscious. ¡°No, I can¡¯t drink anymore.¡± If she drank any more, she would be drunk. Seeing that she had drunk a lot and couldn¡¯t drink anymore, Jiang Yanshen reached out and took the wine ss from her hand. ¡°Stop drinking. You¡¯ll cause trouble if you continue drinking.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the remaining wine in one gulp. Lin Qingqian blinked her slightly confused eyes at him. ¡°What trouble? What else is there tonight?¡± Jianz Yanshen Dut down his wine ss and looked down at her. ¡°Qianaian, I¡¯m done coaxing you. It¡¯s your turn to coax me.¡± Lin Qingqian: There¡¯s such a thing??? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hoarse voice was filled with pleading. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t resist his begging at all. Her eyshes that were as thin as cicada wings trembled slightly, and her eyes closed gently. The next day, Lin Qingqian slowly opened her eyes and what greeted her eyes was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face. Her red lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. When she lowered her eyes, Jiang Yanshen¡¯szy voice suddenly sounded in her ears. ¡°Are you reminiscing? Her thin eyshes fluttered as she looked up at his deep and smiling eyes and denied, ¡°No, I¡¯m not reminiscing.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The smile in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes deepened. ¡°What I want to say is¡­ you¡¯re reminiscing about the food I cookedst night.¡± Lin Qingqian was instantly embarrassed, and angry. She lowered her head and bit his shoulder. Jiang Yanshen frowned in pain, but he did not resist and let her bite him. Lin Qingqian ran after biting him. Jiang Yanshen knew that she was shy and did not tease her anymore. He put on his clothes and went out to wash up. When he walked out of the room, Song Qin happened to bring breakfast over. ¡°Good morning, Director Jiang. Morning, Miss Qingqian.¡± ¡°Good morning, Song Qin,¡± Lin Qingqian replied gently. Song Qin was so surprised that she almost threw her breakfast out of the window. Miss Qingqian actually greeted her. Indeed, after being nourished, women would be as beautiful as a flower and her temper would improve. She immediately looked at Director Jiang with her almond-shaped eyes, hinting at him! She couldn¡¯t wash 10 catties of crayfish for nothingst night. Her hands were cramping from the task. Lin Qingqian was still here, so Jiang Yanshen naturally couldn¡¯t show any reaction. He said calmly, ¡°Go downstairs and wait for me first.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Song Qin put down her breakfast and tactfully went down to wait for the imperial edict. Lin Qingqian washed up and sat at the dining table. She looked at the man who had changed his clothes and frowned slightly. ¡°Why do I feel like I was schemed against by youst night?¡± First, he personally cooked to coax her, then asked her to drink, and finally¡­ Jiang Yanshen ced the breakfast in front of her and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯m a sessful businessman.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°The more you pay, the higher the return you ask for.¡± How could he do something without a certain return? Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and red at him coquettishly as she scolded, ¡°Evil merchant!¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t deny it and smiled. ¡°Eat breakfast.¡± Lin Qingqian snorted softly and ignored him while eating breakfast. Jiang Yanshen knew that she had regained her senses and was resentful, but he was not anxious. After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen took the initiative to send her to work, but he was rejected by Lin Qingqian. Jiang Yanshen could only go downstairs personally to send her to the car, but Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t even give him a nce. Song Qin watched from the side, her heart pounding. It was still a cloudless day just now. Why did it suddenly be cloudy? Could her bonus have been ruined? Jiang Yanshen saw her worried expression from the corner of his eye and said in a steady voice, ¡°The bonus for this month will be doubled!¡± The surprise came too quickly. Song Qin was so excited that she almost fainted. 10 catties of crayfish were indeed not washed for nothing!!! I love crayfish!!! Before Jiang Yanshen got into the car, he thought of something and issued some instructions. When Lin Qingqian entered thepany, she saw Han Liubaiing out of the office to fetch water. She greeted him, ¡°Good morning, Xiao Bai.¡± Han Liubai turned around and nced at her. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said calmly, ¡°Good morning, Director Lin.¡± With that, he turned around and returned to his office. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Why did she feel that Xiao Bai was a little strange? Chapter 239 - 239: My Greatest Hobby is to Lock You at Home. Chapter 239: My Greatest Hobby is to Lock You at Home. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui glided over on the office chair and bumped her with her arm. ¡°You¡¯re killing people and still carrying a grudge.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Speak humannguage.¡± ¡°You showed off your love on your Momentsst night. Xiao Bai must have been sad all night.¡± Suisui sighed and shook her head. ¡°Aren¡¯t you too cruel to want him to wee you with a smile so early in the morning?¡± Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her and kicked her chair. ¡°Go back to work.¡± She couldn¡¯t be bothered to listen to her nonsense and walked towards her office. Suisui¡¯s chair slid away and hit the desk before stopping. Fortunately, she was smart and held onto the desk. Otherwise, she would have been covered in bumps. She turned around and looked at Lin Qingqian¡¯s back. She clicked her tongue. ¡°Everyone says that women in love have zero intelligence. The ancients really didn¡¯t lie to me.¡± Lin Qingqian was busy with work all day. During this period, she had alsomunicated with Han Liubai. There was nothing unusual, and she did not stay for long. It was not until she got off work in the afternoon that she turned off herputer and walked out of the office to see the maning in. He was not wearing a suit. His ck shirt wrapped around his tall figure, and his pants were ironed straight without any creases. He slowly walked towards her. Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes couldn¡¯t help but reveal a smile. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m coaxing you.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in front of her and said, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up from work too.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard the word ¡°coax¡± now, she felt that it was not good. She felt that he was digging a hole again and was waiting for her to jump in. Seeing her look as if she was facing a great enemy, Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°What kind of expression is this?¡± Lin Qingqian replied honestly, ¡°An expression of fear of falling into a pit.¡± There were ripples in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. He took out a ck velvet box from his pocket, opened it, and slowly squatted down. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stagnated, and her gaze changed. It was only when she saw him take out a thin golden chain that she heaved a sigh of relief. Jiang Yanshen had super-strong observation skills, so how could he not notice her abnormality? He just pretended not to know. His well-defined fingers untied the thin golden chain and buckled it around her right foot, just above her ankle. The golden chain was very thin. If one did not pay attention, they would not notice it. It hung on her ankle, making her skin look as fair as snow. Lin Qingqian moved her ankle, and the slender golden chain moved slightly, like a feather sweeping across her skin. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, tell me honestly, do you have any special fetishes?¡± Her bright eyes sized him up. ¡°Otherwise, why do you always give me anklets?¡± There were also bracelets, but there were more anklets. There were more than ten locked in the safes in the bedroom in the Jiang residence. Jiang Yanshen stood up and stared at her with his ck eyes. He replied without hiding anything, ¡°My biggest hobby is to lock you at home.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® The smile on her face froze. Jiang Yanshen chuckled and reached out to pinch her nose. ¡°I¡¯m kidding. I gave you so many, but I¡¯ve never seen you wear a single one before.¡± Lin Qingqian secretly heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s troublesome to wear anklets. It hurts when I sleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at the anklet on her foot. ¡°This is pure gold. It¡¯s soft and won¡¯t hurt you.¡± Lin Qingqian hugged his arm and chuckled. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll keep this one on and not take it off.¡± The smile in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes deepened. He lowered his head uncontrobly, wanting to kiss her. Lin Qingqian watched as he lowered his head. Just as he was about to touch her, she suddenly heard the sound of the door and hurriedly dodged. She turned around and saw Han Liubai walking out of the office. ¡°Designer Han, you haven¡¯t left yet.¡± An awkward expression shed across her in face as she pretended to be calm. Han Liubai¡¯s expression was calm as he said in a gentle voice, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m going now.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°See you tomorrow then.¡± Han Liubai nodded and swept his gaze across Jiang Yanshen. He did not stay any longer and left. Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That was close. It was almost awkward.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her. ¡®What¡¯s so awkward about it?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. ¡°I¡¯m a proper person and I¡¯m thin-skinned.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Was she mocking him for not being a proper person and being thick-skinned? She did not return to the apartment at night. Instead, she went to the Jiang residence. Old Madam Jiang¡¯s body was almost fully recovered. The doctor approved her discharge, but she still had to recuperate well when she returned. Jiang Yanshen did not want her to stay in Lan City and be harassed by Li Gun and the others, so he arranged for her to return to Jiang City to recuperate and sent her over personally. Tonight was thest night Old Madam Jiang stayed in Lan City. Jiang Yanshen specially came to bring Lin Qingqian back to eat with her. Jiang Chongjing, Wu Suyun, Jiang Yunshen, and even Li Gun were present. During the dinner, the atmosphere was originally harmonious. From time to time, Old Madam Jiang would talk to Lin Qingqian, and Lin Qingqian would help her prepare the vegetables. Halfway through, Li Gun mmed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and said with a straight face, ¡°I¡¯m full. I¡¯ll go back to my room first.¡± With that, she flicked her sleeves and left. The atmosphere immediately became strange and tense. Old Madam Jiang said without changing her expression, ¡°Eat, Qianqian. Eat more.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and obliged. At night, Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian did not leave and stayed at the Jiang residence for the night. When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, Jiang Yanshen had already taken a shower in the guest bathroom and was sitting on the sofa drying his hair with a towel. Lin Qingqian walked over and took the towel very naturally. As she wiped his hair, she said, ¡°Your mother is bing more and more unrestrained now.¡± In the past, she knew that they did not get along, but she did not show it. Now, she was toozy to even pretend. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his tone was cold. ¡°Grandma didn¡¯t give her a single cent. Of course she doesn¡¯t even want to pretend anymore.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°It¡¯s also because Grandma is old. A few years ago, she would have been chased out if she did this.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and sighed softly. ¡°No matter how much she resents, it¡¯s been so many years. Even if it¡¯s not for anything else, she should let go for herself.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and nced at her. ¡°Let go?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What did I say wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and let her sit beside him. He asked gently, ¡°Why do you think she hasn¡¯t left the Jiang family all these years?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°She can¡¯t bear to part with the Jiang Family¡¯s wealth and status?¡± ¡°That¡¯s only one aspect,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice. ¡°Although Li Dashun has be rich, he¡¯s far inferior inparison to our Jiang Family. Moreover, do you think a person like Li Dashun will be willing to marry a widow of the Jiang Family?¡± If he married her, he would be criticized in Lan City for the rest of his life. Lin Qingqian pondered and said, ¡°You mean¡­ Li Dashun doesn¡¯t want to marry her at all.¡± ¡°Li Dashun has three or four mistresses outside now. Two of them are pregnant.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were sharp when he mentioned the filth of other men. ¡°Li Gun as a person is far less important to him than her title as Madam Jiang. ¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t your mother know?¡± ¡°So what if she knows?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm palmnded on her head. ¡°At her age, she can¡¯t give birth to children for Li Dashun. Other than using her identity as Madam Jiang to keep Li Dashun by her side, she has no other way.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair face was indescribable. ¡°I¡¯ve seen your father¡¯s photo. He¡¯s much more handsome than that Li Dashun. His temper shouldn¡¯t be bad either. Is your mother¡¯s eyes covered in feces?¡± People like Li Dashun could be thrown into the trash can at any moment, and they were the kind that could not be recycled. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, ¡°Perhaps she¡¯s unwilling. Back then, she could have married Li Dashun, but she was forced to marry my father.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s as Suisui said. An adulterous man is like a coin that fell into atrine pit. It¡¯s a waste if you don¡¯t pick it up, but it¡¯s disgusting if you do.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned at this analogy. ¡°Can you use another analogy?¡± ¡°Although they didn¡¯t cheat, it¡¯s about the same.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t think of any other words. Jiang Yanshen: ¡® That didn¡¯t seem to be the point. Jiang Yanshen reached out and carried her to the dark ck bed. Lin Qingqian was shocked and wrapped her slender hands around his neck. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Sleeping.¡± Jiang Yanshen gently put her down and leaned down. ¡°What happened to sleeping?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her. ¡°When I say sleep, it¡¯s a verb.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head uncooperatively. ¡°Stop fooling around. I still have to send Grandma off tomorrow.¡± ¡°I¡¯m the one sending her.¡± Jiang Yanshen straightened her head and lowered his head to kiss her. Lin Qingqian half-reluctantly said, ¡°I didn¡¯t bring that thing¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen kissed the tip of her nose. ¡°I did¡­¡¯ ¡°A full box of six.¡± After being tossed around by Jiang Yanshen for too longst night, Lin Qingqian almost overslept the next day. Fortunately, he did not leave anything on her neck that embarrassed her. Instead, the few things in the trash can made her blush when she woke up in the morning. After breakfast, the servant ced the things the olddy wanted to bring into the trunk. Before Lin Qingqian came over yesterday, she had also bought some tonics for the elderly on the way and asked Madam Liu to bring them along. Old Madam Jiang held her hand reluctantly. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re considerate. Why waste this money?¡± Lin Qingqian held her hand and chuckled. ¡°Grandma, I know how to earn money now. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded in relief. ¡°Grandma knows that you¡¯re capable, but you have to take care of your body and rest well. Come and see Grandma when you¡¯re free.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll definitely go and see Grandma.¡± Old Madam Jiang nced at Jiang Yanshen and let Madam Liu help her into the car first before letting the others go back. Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun brought Jiang Yunshen into the house. As for Li Gun, she hadpletely fallen out with the olddy and did note out at all. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at Lin Qingqian. ¡°It might take me three days to return from Jiang City. If there¡¯s anything, look for Lu Yuan and the others.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded, almost forgetting to tell him. ¡°By the way, I¡¯m going overseas in three days.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned coldly. He had never heard her mention it before. ¡°The round trip will only take about three to four days. At most, five days.¡± Lin Qingqian saw that his expression was not right and hurriedly added. This way, they would not be able to see each other for more than a week. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face gradually darkened. Lin Qingqian reached out and pinched his arm, coaxing him nicely, ¡°The job was decidedst month, and I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she valued her work more than anything else now. Even if he did say anything, she wouldn¡¯t listen. His long arm reached out to her face and pinched it. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to bring anyone with the surname Han..¡± Chapter 240 - 240: In the Past, I Was the One Waiting for You. Now, It’s Your Turn to Wait For Me Chapter 240: In the Past, I Was the One Waiting for You. Now, It¡¯s Your Turn to Wait For Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°Then can you not bring Song Qin along when you go on a business trip?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°This time, I¡¯m styling for Li Wenwen. Xiao Bai won¡¯t go.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Call me every day.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I haven¡¯t gone yet.¡± Jiang Yanshen hugged her with his long arms and pulled her in tightly. He lowered his head and kissed the center of her hair. This was the first time they would be separated for so long since they got back together. At the thought of not being able to see her like this, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart felt like it was weighed down by a rock. It was heavy and he could not breathe. Lin Qingqian felt his reluctance and reached out to hug him. She said softly, ¡°In the past, I was the one waiting for you. Now, it¡¯s your turn to wait for me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, his smile mixed with helplessness. This definitely would not be the only time. Now was not the time to talk about this. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Before getting into the car, he reminded her to bring Chen Mu along when she went overseas. In order to reassure him, Lin Qingqian agreed. Jiang Yanshen sat in the car. The window rolled down and Old Madam Jiang waved at her. Lin Qingqian waved her hand. ¡°Goodbye, Grandma.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his deep and dark eyes. Only when the car drove away and he could no longer see her did he slowly lower his long eyshes. The olddy teased from the side, ¡°Now you know what it feels like to be abandoned.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyelidszily and stopped bickering with the olddy. He took out his phone and opened WeChat.. The olddy chuckled and turned to look out of the window. Song Qin had just bought the pancakes and had yet to take a bite when she saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s WeChat message. With a bang, the pancakes fell to the ground. Jiang Yanshen: You don¡¯t have to follow me on business trips in the future. You don¡¯t have to be responsible for my daily life anymore as well. This feeling was like being promoted to the head of the Imperial Household after obtaining the Emperor¡¯s recognition. The next second, she was demoted to a young eunuch. For a long, long time, Song Qin did not understand what she had done wrong to be banished to the cold pce. Seeing Lu Yuan be a popr person in front of Director Jiang, second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people¡­ After Jiang Yanshen arrived in Jiang City, he sent Lin Qingqian a WeChat message. After Lin Qingqian replied to his message, he did not send anymore because he was afraid of disturbing her work. When Lin Qingqian finished showering at night and walked out of the bathroom, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s message came. Ah Yan: ¡°The night scenery in Jiang City is not bad.¡± Lin Qingqian heard the deeper meaning in his words and deliberately did not answer. She replied: ¡°You have to admire it carefully then.¡± Ah Yan said, ¡°There¡¯s one less scenery. It¡¯s not perfect.¡± Lin Qingqian asked, ¡°What scenery?¡± Ah Yan said, ¡°You.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment and she couldn¡¯t help butugh. Ah Yan said, ¡°Can I video call you?¡± Lin Qingqian looked down at her pajamas and tidied them up before replying: ¡°Ok.¡± The next second, a video call came in. Jiang Yanshen probably did not know how to make a video call. He held his cell phone very close and his entire face was erged on Lin Qingqian¡¯s screen. Fortunately, he was good-looking enough. Otherwise, she would really die. ¡°Take your phone further away, or I won¡¯t be able to see you clearly.¡± Lin Qingqian taught him. Jiang Yanshen listened to her and took his phone away. His upper body was exposed on the screen, and she could see the scene behind him. He should be in some high-ss hotel. ¡°Has Grandma settled down?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Go and dry your hair first.¡± Lin Qingqian had juste out of the bathroom. Her hair was still wet and she had yet to wipe it. Lin Qingqian nodded and brought her phone to the living room. She fixed her phone on the coffee table and found a hairdryer to dry her hair. Jiang Yanshen watched her blow-dry her hair from the other end of the video. His exquisite facial features were calm, as if he couldn¡¯t get enough of her. Lin Qingqian spent ten minutes blowing her hair until it was half dry before stopping and turning off the hairdryer. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°You¡¯re not drying itpletely?¡± Lin Qingqian put down the hairdryer and bent down to look at the camera. She said softly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to dry it so thoroughly in the summer. Let it dry naturally.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and stared at her for a few seconds. ¡°Where¡¯s the anklet?¡± Lin Qingqian revealed a helpless smile and picked up her phone to angle it at her feet. ¡°I¡¯m wearing it.¡± Through the screen, he saw the anklet on her slender ankles that he had personally put on. His eyebrows and eyes were filled with a faint smile. ¡°Go to your room.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and returned to her room with her cell phone. Shey on the bed, lifted the nket, andy down. Her cell phone was propped up on the other side with a stand. She turned her head to look at the camera and chatted with him. ¡°How¡¯s Grandma?¡± Jiang Yanshen was also on the bed, but he didn¡¯t lie down like her. Instead, he sat on the bed and looked down at her fair face in the camera. ¡°Grandma has settled down. I¡¯ll go back in two days.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and was a little sleepy. She yawned and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Jiang City with you to see her after I¡¯m done.¡± Jiang Yanshen agreed gently and saw her yawning. ¡°Do you want to sleep?¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Although she said that, she did not turn off the video. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and saw a book on the bedside table. He casually took it and flipped it open, reading in a low and mellow voice. When Lin Qingqian heard his voice, her eyelids became heavier and heavier. In the end, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore and fell down. Jiang Yanshen read for half an hour. When he looked at his cell phone, the woman In tne camera naa alreaay ramen asleep. Her facial features were delicate, and her eyebrows were elegant and exquisite. A few strands of hair fell down, making her face look even fairer. Her red lips were pursed as she slept soundly. ¡°Qianqian, good night.¡± His thin lips curled up, and he ced his phone on the bedside table after saying that in a low and hoarse voice. He got out of bed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window to look at the night scenery that was different from Lan City. The warmth and softness in his eyes were tight, leaving only a coldness mixed with a hint of confusion¡­ On the day Jiang Yanshen returned to Lan City, Lin Qingqian followed Li Wenwen¡¯s team to France. Li Wenwen¡¯s movie was nominated for this French film exhibition. If she could win an award, Li Wenwen¡¯s status in the international film industry would increase. Even if she could not stand out on the red carpet, she could still be famous internationally. Therefore, the team really valued the itinerary this time. Other than Suisui and Brother Chen, everyone else stayed in the country. After arriving in Paris and checking in, Li Wenwen and her manager came to look for Lin Qingqian. Because Lin Qingqian had nevermunicated with them about the style this time, they were not confident and naturally had to ask. Lin Qingqian and Suisui¡¯s luggage had yet to be opened, so she could only ask Suisui to get them mineral water. The manager said anxiously, ¡°We¡¯re not thirsty. President Lin, what exactly are you thinking about Wenwen¡¯s style this time? If you¡¯re ready, quickly let Wenwen try on the clothes. If they¡¯re not suitable, you can change them.¡± Lin Qingqian sat down, her elegant facial features calm as she said slowly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to try it on. I guarantee it¡¯s suitable for Miss Li.¡± Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything, the manager¡¯s expression did not look good. ¡°President Lin, you have to know how important this movie exhibition is to our Wenwen. If it¡¯s not suitable.. After a pause, he received Li Wenwen¡¯s gaze and added, ¡°Even if we don¡¯t have to try it on, at least let us know in advance which brand you borrowed from so that it¡¯ll be easier for us to match her style.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a brand.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gentle voice sounded in their puzzled eyes. ¡°I designed it myself.¡± ¡°What?¡± The manager stood up in surprise. ¡°Aren¡¯t you a stylist? Do you know how to make clothes? Could it be some strange design?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, this movie exhibition is very important to Wenwen. You can¡¯t¡­ ¡± Before he could finish speaking, Li Wenwen interrupted, ¡°Brother Jiang.¡± Brother Jiang¡¯s voice paused, but he could not hide the anger on his face as he stared at Lin Qingqian suspiciously. Li Wenwen was calmer than Brother Jiang. ¡°President Lin, you didn¡¯t prepare Master Qi¡¯s clothes this time?¡± Everyone in the industry knew that President Lin was Master Qi¡¯s disciple and had many of Master Qi¡¯s works. If she could wear Master Qi¡¯s work and walk the red carpet, the topic should not be low. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°My master¡¯s work is indeed good, but since we¡¯re here, we should do as the Romans do.¡± The more she said this, the more worried Li Wenwen and the others became. They couldn¡¯t hide the uneasiness in their eyes. When Lin Qingqian saw them like this, she knew that if she did not reveal the truth, they would probably not be able to sleep well at night. She stood up and said, ¡°Wait a moment.¡± Lin Qingqian brought Suisui back to her room, and Brother Jiang immediately lowered his voice and said, ¡°Wenwen, why did you choose her back then? She¡¯s too unreliable.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Why don¡¯t I contact the other stylists now? As long as we give them enough money, it should be fine.¡± Li Wenwen was worried, but she was not as flustered as him. She said calmly, ¡°Brother Jiang, don¡¯t be anxious. Let¡¯s take a look first.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious? How can I not be anxious?¡± Brother Jiang was anxious. ¡°This event is very important to you. You can¡¯t fall in the hands of that little girl.¡± As he spoke, he med himself in frustration. ¡°If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have listened to you. I would have contacted a reliable styling team. Now, we wouldn¡¯t have¡­ Before he could finish speaking, he looked up and saw the door open. Lin Qingqian and Suisui pushed out a moving clothes rack and he instinctively gasped. Li Wenwen was also stunned when she looked over. Hanging on the clothes hanger is a pale white dress with a Mandarin cor. There is an embroidered orchid pattern delicately stitched on the upper part. The waist and sleeve cuffs feature tassel designs, while the long skirt below flows gracefully, revealing a faint blue hue as it sways. Like a rising tide, different colors would appear at different times. Brother Jiang waspletely stunned. Li Wenwen had already stood up. When she walked closer, she saw that the pale white color was gradually turning pink. Although it was very faint, it was faintly discernible. ¡°You designed this?¡± She couldn¡¯t believe it. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Stylists and designers are originally the same thing. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t made clothes in a few years, so I¡¯ve always looked for brands to work with previously. ¡± Li Wenwen felt veryfortable looking at the cloth of the dress. She wanted to touch it, but she remembered that she had not washed her hands and took it back. From their reactions, Lin Qingqian knew that they were very satisfied with her design. ¡°If the effect is good this time, I¡¯llunch my own independent brand in the future. ¡± This time, it was a test and a softunch.. Chapter 241 - 241: This Was Designed for Her Wedding Chapter 241: This Was Designed for Her Wedding Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but gulp. ¡°This is too beautiful. You¡¯ll definitely be an amazing designer in the future.¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curved. ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Li Wenwen¡¯s heart skipped a beat and she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°When will your brand beunched? Have you chosen an ambassador?¡± Brother Jiang immediately echoed, ¡°That¡¯s right. Wenwen has a good image and is motivated. Many brands are fighting for her. You can consider her.¡± He was so attentive that hepletely forgot that he was the one who had scolded her for being unreliable just now. How could Lin Qingqian not know what they were thinking? However, the matter of ambassadors¡­ ¡°I only have this thought for now. I¡¯ll think about the details in the future.¡± Brother Jiang wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by Li Wenwen¡¯s gaze. Brother Jiang wanted to say something else, but he was interrupted by Li Wenwen¡¯s gaze, If they continued to pester her, it would seem degrading. As long as they were sincere, they didn¡¯t have to be afraid of not having the chance to cooperate in the future. Brother Jiang also thought of this and didn¡¯t say anything else. He took out his phone and took a photo of the dress. This dress was too beautiful. After seeing the dress, Brother Jiang and Li Wenwen felt at ease and returned after sitting for a while. Suisui pushed the dress aside and covered it with ayer of ck cloth. ¡°That Brother Jiang looked down on you at first. When he saw the dress, his attitude changed 180 degrees. Even flipping through books couldn¡¯tpare to his change in attitude.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent, and she didn¡¯t take it to heart that Brother Jiang¡¯s attitude had changed. ¡°He¡¯s also thinking about Li Wenwen¡¯s future. It¡¯s understandable.¡± Suisui walked over and looked at her with her almond-shaped eyes. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t you know how to be angry? Why do I feel that you don¡¯t seem to care about how others treat you?¡± ¡°I can be angry,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Every time, she would be so angry at Jiang Yanshen that she wanted to scold the Dog of a man. ¡°Really?¡± Suisui questioned. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Even if you¡¯re angry, you don¡¯t have to show it on your face.¡± After a pause, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve been in the Jiang family for seven years. If I can still be angered so easily, won¡¯t I have looked at Madam Jiang¡¯s face for seven years in vain? Suisui thought about it seriously. ¡°Inparison, I immediately feel that Brother Jiang is much more refined.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Alright, pack up and rest.¡± Suisui nodded and turned to walk to the bathroom. Coincidentally, Lin Qingqian¡¯s phone rang. She walked to the window to answer the call. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice came from the other end of the phone. ¡°You¡¯re in Paris?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯m already at the hotel.¡± ¡°Then rest well. I¡¯ll call you when you wake up.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to specially align your body clock to my jetg. I¡¯ll be back soon,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. Jiang Yanshen insisted. ¡°You know how I sleep.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t dissuade him. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll send you a message when I wake up.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± After ending the call, she saw Suisui leaning against the bathroom door, hugging a towel and pajamas. ¡°You don¡¯t have to specially align your body clock to my jetg. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± She imitated Lin Qingqian¡¯s tone in a coquettish voice. ¡°Qianqian, why didn¡¯t I realize that you were so mushy in the past?¡± Lin Qingqian looked innocent. ¡°How am I mushy?¡± ¡°Your voice is mushy.¡± Lin Qingqian ¡°In short, it¡¯s mushy!¡± Suisui said firmly and closed the bathroom door. ¡°Is it really very mushy?¡± Lin Qingqian muttered to herself, but she couldn¡¯t tell if her voice was mushy. After washing up, she called for a food delivery service. After eating, Lin Qingqian did not rest immediately. Instead, she took out herputer to deal with her work. Suisui, on the other hand, was holding her phone and lying on the bed, helping Lu Qinshang rank and fight against his anti-fans. After half an hour, it was finally over. She put down her phone with tears in her eyes. ¡°Qianqian, aren¡¯t you going to rest?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll sleep after replying to the emails, ¡± Lin Qingqian said without looking back. Suisui ignored her and pulled the nket up to cover her head as she fell asleep. Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa and kept reading her emails. Then, she replied seriously to every one of them. Shi Guang Studio had a certain level of fame and position in the country, and the new stylists led by Han Liubai in thepany were also performing well. She no longer needed to do everything herself. However, there would be many other business matters that she had to deal with. By the time she finished dealing with the work emails in her mailbox, it was already 10:30 p.m. locally. She put down herputer and walked to the bed. She saw Suisui upying most of the bed and even kicking the nket away. She was speechless for a few seconds. She bent down to cover Suisui with the nket and called someone to get an extra room next door for her to sleep in. The next morning, she was woken up by her phone ringing. She picked up the call, but before she could say anything, Suisui¡¯s earth-shattering voice came from the other end. ¡°Qianqian, where did you go? Were you kidnapped by aliens?¡± Lin Qingqian pulled down the nket and turned to look at the bright color outside the window. She said in azy and soft voice, ¡°Thank you for your concern. Even if you¡¯re captured by aliens, I won¡¯t be captured.¡± ¡°I¡¯m next door. Help me order breakfast.¡± Lin Qingqian hung up the phone and got up to wash up. When she changed her clothes, Suisui and breakfast came over. ¡°Why did you book another room? Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to sleep with Lin Qingqian nced at her. ¡°If I had known that you still had the habit of upying an entire bed when you slept, I wouldn¡¯t have shared a room with you.¡± ¡°Ahh.¡± Suisui knew that she was in the wrong, so she made a face and pretended to be stupid. After breakfast, it was almost time. Li Wenwen and Brother Jiang came over to change and style. Suisui helped Li Wenwen put on her makeup first, while Lin Qingqian walked to the bed and sent a message to Jiang Yanshen. Li Wenwen could see the woman standing in front of the window through the mirror. Her figure was slender, and her light green dress entuated her clean and graceful aura. Such a beauty was more than enough to enter the entertainment industry. ¡°President Lin is so good-looking. Didn¡¯t you consider entering the entertainment industry?¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and nced at her. She said indifferently, ¡°My looks are mediocre. I¡¯m destined to rely on talent.¡± Li Wenwen said seriously, ¡°President Lin, you don¡¯t have to be humble. You¡¯re the type of people with authentic good looks. You don¡¯t have to have big eyes and a v-shaped chin to look good.¡± Nowadays, the aesthetic standards of the Inte are close to distortion. They had clear double eyelids, big eyes, a straight nose, and a sharp chin. It was impossible to tell who was who when the photos were ced together. Everyone looked the same. Lin Qingqian was different. Her looks were not stunning at first nce, but the more one looked at her, the morefortable they felt. Then, the more people would feel that her appearance and temperament were different. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Thank you for your praise. I¡¯m too ashamed to ept it. Li Wenwen was stunned. When she reacted, she was a little surprised. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect President Lin to be such an interesting person.¡± The three women chatted casually. If not for Brother Jianging in to urge her, Suisui would have forgotten that she needed to put on makeup for her. After Li Wenwen finished putting on her makeup, Lin Qingqian and Suisui helped her change her clothes and helped her braid her hair and put on the dried flowers she had prepared in advance. Li Wenwen stood in front of the mirror, unable to believe that the person in the mirror was her. Lin Qingqian squatted down to help her tidy up her skirt and arranged the tassels on the skirt one by one to prevent them from being tied together. ¡°Does this dress have a name?¡± Li Wenwen asked curiously. Lin Qingqian paused and didn¡¯t speak. Li Wenwen looked down at her and sensed that something was wrong. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and smiled slightly. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. This dress is called ¡®Love¡¯s Haven¡¯.¡± Li Wenwen repeated the word ¡°Love¡¯s Haven¡±. ¡°Does it mean anything?¡± ¡°I hope that every girl can find her refuge in love,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Sensing Li Wenwen¡¯s confusion, she continued softly, ¡°This dress was initially designed for my wedding reception as a gesture of gratitude, but¡­ it was never worn.¡± When Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen registered for marriage back then, she was filled with anticipation. Despite not being skilled in the craft, she had drawn numerous wedding gown designs, including the dress for the gratitude banquet and the dress she would wear when entering the groom¡¯s home. She looked forward to marrying Jiang Yanshen and returning to Yu Mountain with him. Later on, as time passed, her heart slowly turned cold. In the end, herst hope was extinguished, and she filed for a divorce with Jiang Yanshen. Li Wenwen clearly didn¡¯t know about this rtionship and said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t know. This dress is so important. Why did you take it out for me to wear?¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°Clothes are designed for people to wear. Although I don¡¯t have the chance to wear it, it¡¯s the best use for you now.¡± ¡°Then won¡¯t you be sad?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be even sadder if it¡¯s locked in my drawer for the rest of its life,¡± Lin Qingqian said seriously. Before Li Wenwen couldfort her, she heard Suisui say, ¡°You¡¯ve been deceived by her again. She¡¯ll design better-looking clothes to wear at the gratitude banquet in the future. She just doesn¡¯t want to miss the opportunity to earn money!¡± Lin Qingqian nced over with her bright eyes. ¡°Miss Yan Sui, have you forgotten who pays your sry?¡± Suisui stuck out her pink tongue. ¡°Who asked you to fool people?¡± Lin Qingqian looked helpless and said, ¡°I wanted to add some mncholic and captivating colors to the dresses, so they would be more famous.¡± Only with fame could one have more money. Li Wenwen was amused by her straightforwardness. ¡°I really like this dress. State your price.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t stand on ceremony and directly quoted the price. Li Wenwen didn¡¯t bargain either. When she returned to the country, she would get her manager to transfer the money to her. On the red carpet of the movie exhibition, among the various gowns, Li Wenwen sessfully attracted all the spotlights with her fairy-like dress. Brother Jiang had asked the photographers to take more photos of her. There was almost no need to do anv Dhotosh0D on them. Thev could be released as long as the luminosity was adjusted. It quickly reached the top of the headlines on domestic websites. In addition, the trending topic was #Designer Shenqian#. This was because during an interview with foreign media, Li Wenwen mentioned that the dress¡¯s designer is Shenqian and it is called ¡°Love¡¯s Haven.¡± She exined that the name represents the hope that everyone in the world can find a ce of emotional sce and belonging. This dress was originally designed by the designer for her own wedding. However, for some reason, the wedding didn¡¯t happen, and she didn¡¯t have the chance to wear this dress¡­ For a moment, there was a heated discussion on the Inte.. Who is Shenqian? Why wasn¡¯t her wedding held? And who was her fianc¨¦? Chapter 242 - 242: Ah Yan, I Miss You Chapter 242: Ah Yan, I Miss You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Perhaps it was because the way Li Wenwen said it sounded a little regretful, causing everyone to misunderstand that something might have happened to Shen Qian Goddess¡¯s fianc¨¦, so the wedding didn¡¯t happen. #Shenqian¡¯s fianc¨¦ died# quietly appeared on the trending list. Lin Qingqian and Suisui didn¡¯t pay much attention to the news in the country when they were overseas, but Lu Qinshang was in the country. When he saw the trending topics, he spat on the screen. Outsiders didn¡¯t know, but people in the industry like them knew that Shenqian was Lin Qingqian. Wasn¡¯t Lin Qingqian¡¯s ex-husband Ah Yan! Lu Qinshang immediately took a screenshot and sent it to the group. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: F*ck, Ah Yan, you died? Why didn¡¯t I know? Second Young Master Jiang: Damn, Lin Qingqian pretended to be deeply in love with my brother on the surface, but she¡¯s actually two-timing him behind his back. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Second Young Master Jiang, brains are a good thing. I hope you grow some! Detective Gu: You didn¡¯t score highly in your primary school¡¯s readingprehension test, right? ¡°Second Young Master Jiang¡± retracted a message. Second Young Master Jiang: ¡°Oh my, I just woke up and misread it.¡± Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Detective Gu: . Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: @Jiang Yanshen @Jiang Yanshen @Jiang Yanshen, where are you! Jiang Yanshen: Get lost He was so cold that he didn¡¯t even give him a punctuation mark. Second Young Master Jiang: Hahahahaha, you deserve it! Jiang Yanshen: Shut up Second Young Master Jiang: ¡°Big Brother, you actually scolded me! Am I still your beloved little brother?¡± Jiang Yanshen: No Second Young Master Jiang: Probably sensing the anger in the depths of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart, no one dared to y anymore. The group turned as quiet as a dead chicken. The trending topics on the Inte were removed in less than 20 minutes, leavinz onlv Li Wenwen¡¯s trending topic and Shenaian¡¯s desizn. Although the trending topics had been removed, theizens were still around. Shenqian¡¯s fans were also still around. They went to the official Weibo ount and Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo tofort her. In the process, they also took the opportunity to promote their own male cousins, elder brothers, and so on. Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t let anyone hack Lin Qingqian¡¯s ount, so he could only vent his anger on his executives. In the middle of the night, they had already finished eating and exercising andy down. In the end, with a call, they all got up from their beds bitterly. They sat in front of the camera in shirts and suits, their lower bodies in wide pants, for a video conference. Their hearts were filled with despair. The award ceremony started in the evening. Lin Qingqian, Li Wenwen, and the others first went to eat before going to the nearby mall to shop. Suisui had her eyes on a tie clip. Although the price was very high, she bought it without blinking. Li Wenwen was single and bought everything for herself. On the other hand, Lin Qingqian looked through a few shops and didn¡¯t buy anything. Suisui asked curiously, ¡°Qianqian, aren¡¯t you buying anything?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing special I want to buy,¡± she replied lightly. Suisui pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. She held the tie clip in her hand lovingly. Before leaving, Suisui and Li Wenwen went to the washroom. When they returned, they saw Lin Qingqian holding her credit card and putting something into her bag. Suisui leaned over and asked curiously, ¡°What did you buy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian left after saying that, not giving her a chance to ask further. Suisui stuck out her tongue. ¡°Stingy. Isn¡¯t it just for¡­¡¯ Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian turned around and red at her. She immediately fell silent. Li Wenwen knew that they didn¡¯t want her to hear it, but she didn¡¯t mind. She was a public figure and understood the importance of protecting her privacy better than anyone else. At the event location of the award ceremony, because there were production teams from all over the country and there was anguage barrier, every team sat at different tables and talked in low voices. When Lin Qingqian and Li Wenwen entered the venue, they clearly attracted the attention of many people. Li Wenwen brought the two of them to sit with their production team. Not long after, someone came over to strike up a conversation. ¡°Hi, beautiful oriental girl, what¡¯s your name? What movie have you acted in?¡± The other party asked Lin Qingqian in a fluent British ent. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as she replied in equally fluent English, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m just an apanying staff member. This is a very famous actress in our country, Miss Li Wenwen.¡± When the other party heard that she was not an actress, a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes. He nced at Li Wenwen and greeted her politely. Li Wenwen knew that the other party was just being polite, so she didn¡¯t say anything. The other party asked her if she was interested in entering the entertainment industry, but Lin Qingqian rejected without hesitation. She even tactfully refused to leave him her contact number. The other party could only leave in disappointment. Li Wenwen turned her head and said, ¡°That guy is an internationally famous director. He was the one who filmed Kill Me.¡± When Suisui heard this, her eyes immediately widened. ¡°I heard that this director is very impressive and awesome. He won many awards.¡± Li Wenwen nodded. ¡°The fact that he took the initiative to invite you means that he thinks highly of you. Aren¡¯t you tempted at all?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯m tempted, but I like designing more than acting. They have a specialized fashion team, so there¡¯s no chance for us to work together.¡± If he wasn¡¯t such a famous director, there might be a possibility of coboration. Li Wenwen thought of Suisui¡¯s words before and chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s rare to see someone as honest as President Lin among the money grubbers.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Honesty is one of my strengths.¡± Li Wenwen and Suisui couldn¡¯t help butugh. They were really defeated by her. Tonight, Li Wenwen was destined to be the focus of attention. Other than getting good reviews on the red carpet, she also won the award for Best Actress. Although she was not the first Chinese person to win this award, she was the youngest actress to win this award. Brother Jiang immediately called the team and asked them to release a press release in the country with photos of her with the award. The Weibo page that had just turned quiet for a while immediately became lively again. Everyone ran around to congratte her. This was something that would bring face to the entire country. Lin Qingqian was also very happy for them at the scene. But because there were too many people at the event location, and there was also a celebration partyter, she and Suisui didn¡¯t join in the fun. After returning to the hotel, Lin Qingqian ordered some food and went to the room next door to rest. She had just taken a shower and came out of the bathroom when her cell phone rang. It was a video call from Jiang Yanshen. She picked up the call and the video immediately showed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features. He was sitting in the office in a ck shirt. ¡°Why are you still working?¡± There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her light voice. The unhappiness that Jiang Yanshen had suppressed all night was instantly cured when he saw her. He said calmly, ¡°1 suddenly had something urgent to deal with. I¡¯ve already dealt with it and will go home in a while.¡± Lin Qingqian was skeptical. He used to be a workaholic. ¡°Have you eaten on time thesest few days? Rested on time? Even if you can¡¯t sleep, you have to rest. ¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyebrows softened at her concern. ¡°I¡¯ll rest. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to fly back tomorrow night.¡± Lin Qingqian told him her schedule. Jiang Yanshen said without thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up then.¡± Lin Qing smiled faintly. ¡°You¡¯re so busy. Can you find the time to pick me up?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°No matter how busy I am with work, it¡¯s not as important as you.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned, and ripples immediately appeared in her eyes. She was caught off guard and coaxed by him. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± She ced her phone aside and turned to the camera. ¡°Ah Yan, I miss you.¡± In the past, every time he went on a business trip, she would miss him, but it seemed different from now. Such thoughts would be even stronger now. She wished she could book a ne ticket back now and watch him eat and sleep. Jiang Yanshen was stunned. He clearly didn¡¯t expect her to say that she missed him. His dark eyes gradually zed with passion. His throat moved as he said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°I miss you too!¡± Lin Qingqian felt sweet in her heart. She leaned over and kissed the lens. Her soft voice said slowly, ¡°Ah Yan, you have to eat well and rest well. If you really can¡¯t sleep, go and see Shen Zhiwei. When I go back, I want to see a healthy Jiang Yanshen. ¡± The kiss through the screen seemed to have reallynded on his forehead, making his entire chest burn. His thin lips rose up. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± He used all his gentleness in this sentence. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and couldn¡¯t help but yawn. She urged, ¡°Go back and rest quickly. It should be midnight on your side.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back now,¡± Jiang Yanshen said as he stood up and walked to the clothes rack to take off his coat. He held his cell phone with his other hand and walked out. Lu Yuan was about to knock on the door and ask if the video conference was still continuing. In the end, he saw Director Jiang walking out with his cell phone. He was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground. What was Director Jiang doing? Was it a live-stream? That didn¡¯t seem right. How could someone like Director Jiang, who couldn¡¯t even use WeChat well, y with live-streams? ¡°Director¡­ ¡± Just as he opened his mouth, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gaze shot over and his voice stopped. Jiang Yanshen nced at the person in the camera. Her eyes were already closed, and she was lying on the pillow without saying anything. She was probably tired and had fallen asleep. He could finally put down his raised hand and said in a low voice, ¡°We¡¯re dismissed for tonight.¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s breathing stopped. He felt that he had heard wrongly. They could get off work? They could finally get off work? His excited heart and trembling hands were just short of shaking on the streets. When his gaze followed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s back, he saw his phone from the corner of his eye. It seemed to be a video. Was Director Jiang video-chatting with Madam? What was this? In the future, if Madam didn¡¯t sleep, they can¡¯t sleep as well? F*ck! This is heartbreaking! But he didn¡¯t dare to say it!!! Jiang Yanshen sat in the stable car. The darkness outside the window was exceptionally quiet, and only the neon lights flickered, decorating the dreand of the people in this city. He looked down at the woman sleeping soundly on the phone. His heart suddenly skipped a few beats, and her soft voice kept appearing in his mind. ¡ªAh Yan, I miss you. ¡ªAh Yan, I miss you. ¡ªAh Yan, I miss you. Over and over again, she tirelessly tangled with his thoughts, as if an evil thought was constantly encouraging him. What would others do at this time? As a sessful businessman, he knew how to weigh the pros and cons of every situation better than anyone else. He also knew that she would be back in a day or two. However, no matter how many schemes he normally had, they could notpare to her voice. ¡°Ah Yan, I miss you.¡± His slender fingers gently caressed the half of her face that was revealed in the camera. In the next second, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice sounded in the quiet car ¡°To the airport..¡± Chapter 243 - 243: I Won ‘t Make You Sad Again Chapter 243: I Won ¡®t Make You Sad Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Because Li Wenwen¡¯s team still had to go back to take street photos during the day, they booked ne tickets for the night. Lin Qingqian and Suisui had been following the itinerary and been outside all the way. When it was over, they would return to the hotel to eat and rest before going to the airport in the evening. Suisui wanted to eat more dessert after dinner, but Lin Qingqian returned to her room without waiting for her. Just as she opened the door with the room card and before she could turn on the lights, a tall figure suddenly pressed her against the cold and hard wall. Lin Qingqian was so frightened that she instinctively wanted to scream. Before her voice could break through her throat, it was pressed against her lips. The dry and warm lips and the familiar smell of cologne swept into her nose. Lin Qingqian instantly reacted and blinked in disbelief. When she went out, the curtains weren¡¯t pulled open. The room was dim, and she could vaguely make out Jiang Yanshen¡¯s facial features. Her heart instantly beat wildly, and she felt an indescribable surprise and excitement. ¡°You, why are you here?¡± She turned her head slightly to avoid his lips, unable to hide the joy in her light voice. Jiang Yanshen kissed her lips again. ¡°You called me over.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°You¡¯re the one who called me here.¡± His affirmative tone repeated. Lin Qingqian felt aggrieved. ¡°I really didn¡¯t¡­¡± Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Yanshen kissed her lips again, pouring all his thoughts of the past few days into this kiss. Hisrge palm grabbed her slender waist. As he kissed her, he brought her to the big bed in the room. When she fell onto the big bed, Lin Qingqian called out softly, ¡°Ah Yan.¡± The boiling heat in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes could no longer be suppressed. Like magma gushing out, he lowered his head and kissed her ear. Lin Qingqian wanted to dodge, but Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slender and strong fingers held her face in ce. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you miss me?¡± She never thought that one day, he would do something so crazy and irrational just because of a single sentence from her. Lin Qingqian was stunned. When she understood, her heartstrings seemed to be constantly plucked and gradually swelled. Then, she no longer avoided him and took the initiative to kiss his lips. Lin Qingqian picked up his ck shirt from the ground and put it on. She stood up to open the window. Jiang Yanshen was only wearing a pair of pants. His belt was not buckled properly and was barely hanging at his waist. He walked behind her and reached out to hug her. His thin lipsnded behind her ears, as if he wanted more. There was still a faint blush on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. She smiled and avoided his lips. ¡°Stop fooling around. We¡¯re going back in a while.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get Chen Mu to help you upgrade to first ss.¡± He did note all the way here to pick her up to let her mingle with a group of strangers. Lin Qingqian did not reject his good intentions. Jiang Yanshen continued his evil actions. Lin Qingqian reached out and pushed his face away. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± Just as she was about to leave, Jiang Yanshen pulled her back and pressed her against the window. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Why did you give her the dress to wear?¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and quickly reacted to what he was referring to. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Clothes are designed for people to wear.¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his dark eyes and his fingersnded on the side of her face, brushing away the stray hair behind her ear. His voice was low as he said, ¡°How much did you look forward to our wedding back then, and how heartbroken were you afterwards?¡± Although he couldn¡¯tpletely understand her feelings at that time, he could imagine it. If not for that, she would not have been so determined to get a divorce. If not for him pestering herter, they might have been like two parallel lines in this life and never crossed paths again. However, every time he thought of this oue, his chest felt heavy, as if he was about to suffocate. Lin Qingqian hissed in pain and looked at him in confusion. ¡°What about it?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes burned. ¡°I won¡¯t make you sad again.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curved as she said softly, ¡°Alright.¡± The past was in the past. Ever since she decided to reconcile with him, she had sealed the past in the depths of her memories and would not pester him with it. After all, it was a deep wound and cutting the other party with it would just reactivate that pain in her heart. She wasn¡¯t a fool to do that. Jiang Yanshen pestered her and kissed her for a while before letting her take a shower. When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, Jiang Yanshen went to take a shower as well. He came so suddenly that other than his passport, he didn¡¯t bring any clothes. Lin Qingqian called Brother Chen and asked him to buy a set from a nearby shop. When Jiang Yanshen came out of the bathroom, she had already changed into a light purple off-shoulder dress. Her hair was not tied up and was scattered casually on her back and shoulders. Brother Chen had already sent the clothes over. She handed the clothes to him and pretended to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. Actually, she didn¡¯t want to see him change his clothes. Jiang Yanshen saw through her thoughts but didn¡¯t expose her. He liked to see her angry at him, and he also liked to see her embarrassed and shy look every time. Both of them had changed their clothes, and Lin Qingqian had also tidied up her clothes. Just as it was about to go downstairs, there was suddenly a pounding on the door. Lin Qingqian wanted to open the door, but Jiang Yanshen walked over before her to open the door. ¡°Qianqian, something big.. Before the word ¡°happened¡± coulde out, her voice stopped abruptly. Suisui looked shocked. ¡°Director, Director Jiang.. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and looked at her quietly. ¡°Director Jiang, w-why are you here?¡± Suisui hadpletely forgotten what she wanted to say. Why was this guy here? Jiang Yanshen did not answer and said calmly, ¡°Looking for Qianqian? Come in. ¡± With that, he turned around and entered the room. Suisui walked into the room and rushed to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side. ¡°Qianqian, why is Director Jiang here? You¡­¡± As she spoke, she shook Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm. Lin Qingqian almost spilled the tea in her hand. Helpless, she could only put it down first. ¡°Why are you looking for me so anxiously?¡± Suisui¡¯s attention was sessfully diverted by her. She pped her forehead. ¡°I almost forgot about the serious matter.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® This girl was really fierce. ¡°Qianqian, an unknown designer in the country said that you giarized his work!¡± Suisui said angrily. ¡°F*ck him!!¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and didn¡¯t rush to speak. She called Su Ying. Five minutester, she said calmly, ¡°I understand. There¡¯s no need to rify anything for the time being. We¡¯ll talk when I return.¡± After ending the call, Suisui immediately said, ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk when we get back.¡± She was overseas for now and didn¡¯t know much about the situation back home. She couldn¡¯t be sure of her next step yet. ¡°You¡¯re still waiting to go back? You¡¯ll be pierced by the scoldings and turn into a sieve by the time you go back,¡± Suisui said anxiously. ¡°Hurry up and issue a statement to rify.¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curled up slightly, not in a hurry at all. ¡°When have you ever believed a celebrity statement rification?¡± Suisui thought about it carefully and shook her head. ¡°No, I believe in expos¨¦s more.¡± ¡°So, there¡¯s no hurry. Let them scold me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s tone was indifferent, not anxious at all. Seeing that she was really not in a hurry, Suisui couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. ¡°Qianqian, your mentality is really good. If you weren¡¯t with Jiang Yanshen, I would really suspect that you had already seen through the mortal world and jumped out of the three paths.¡± Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand and flicked her forehead. ¡°Stop sucking up to me. Let¡¯s go to the airport first.¡± Suisui nodded and returned to her room to get her things. When she walked out of the room, she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something, but she couldn¡¯t remember it for the time being. Seeing that Suisui had left, Jiang Yanshen came out of the room. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it. Do you need my help?¡± In the past, he would have immediately asked Lu Yuan to deal with it. However, he couldn¡¯t make up his mind now. He needed to know her thoughts first. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°No need, I can resolve it.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and wrapped his long arms around her shoulders. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. ¡®You must tell me if you can¡¯t handle it.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Got it.¡± Jiang Yanshen brought Lin Qingqian along and didn¡¯t leave with Li Wenwen¡¯s team. When she arrived at the airport, she received a call from Brother Jiang. Clearly, they also knew what was happening in the country. Lin Qingqian first felt apologetic, then appeased Brother Jiang. There was no hurry. She would deal with this matter as soon as possible when she returned. After hanging up, she went on Weibo to see the current trend of public opinion. The cause of the incident was that aizen revealed that a recently famous stylist had stolen her design draft and even giarized her inspiration. He was just a small designer and wanted an exnation, but the other party ignored himpletely. He could only release the manuscript to vent. Recently, the hottest and most popr stylist in the industry was none other than Shenqian. In an instant, everyone linked Shenqian to this giarizing designer. This time, theizens who originally hated Shenqian instantly climaxed. They scolded that she giarized shamelessly. Shi Guang Studio and Shenqian¡¯s Weibo ounts were both attacked. Carrying a school bag and blowing up the school: F*ck! You¡¯re shameless for giarizing. I hope your entire family dies. Stealing the jungle camps so that I could use the spring water to hack: giarizers should die. The previous design was also giarized, right?! My Family Lives by the Sea: Other stylists dare to appear for interviews, but this one doesn¡¯t. Could she be a transvestite? Or perhaps she¡¯s very ugly? Sitting on the grave and teasing the ghost: She even said that her fianc¨¦ is dead. How wicked. Her fianc¨¦ must have been jinxed to death by her. There were even more vicious scoldings. Before Lin Qingqian could take a look, her cell phone was snatched away. She turned her head and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s burning gaze. ¡°Stop looking.¡± Lin Qingqian took back her phone and said in a light and pleasant voice, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t be angry because of this.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Can I make a move?¡± ¡°No!¡± Lin Qingqian replied without thinking. ¡°I said that I can handle it myself.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and only secretly noted down thoseizen¡¯s names. He would get Lu Yuan to investigate them properly when he returned. This giarism incident also affected Li Wenwen. Originally, Li Wenwen was already in the limelight. Now that something like this had happened to Lin Qingqian, people naturally used this as an excuse to trample on Li Wenwen! Li Wenwen¡¯s fans were naturally focused on protecting their idol and drawing a line with Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans were very determined to protect their idol. However, their fan base couldn¡¯tpare to the fans of celebrities, let alone professional haters. Soon, they became useless on the battlefield and had nobat strength. Seeing that they were determined to protect her, Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of relief. After thinking for a moment, she posted a message on Weibo.. Chapter 244 - 244: How Could This Man… Be So Bad? Chapter 244: How Could This Man¡­ Be So Bad? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Shenqian: With treasures, it¡¯s inevitable that you¡¯ll encounter hungry wolves. Those who are innocent naturally won¡¯t be afraid. In less than ten seconds, there were hundreds ofments under that Weibo post. Most of them were anti-fans, but this time, the hot topic had already been upied by her fans. She didn¡¯t care about being scolded, but seeing those fans whom she had never met but were determined to protect her, she couldn¡¯t remain silent. At the very least, she had to show her attitude first. This was also to give her fans confidence. After posting on Weibo, she didn¡¯t leave. The ground staff came to remind her to board the ne. Jiang Yanshen held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and boarded the first-ss cabin, while Brother Chen sat in the same cabin as Suisui and the others. Li Wenwen could vaguely sense something, but she didn¡¯t ask further. She did not let Brother Jiang and the others say much about the giarism. They would talk about it when they returned to Lan City. After more than ten flight hours, Lin Qingqian started to feel a little sleepy, but she didn¡¯t want to sleep. Jiang Yanshen asked the air stewardess for a ss of red wine and gave it to her. He covered her with a thin nket and coaxed her in a low voice, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Lin Qingqian turned sideways and reached out to hold his warm palm. She obediently closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep. Jiang Yanshen was not sleepy at all as he watched her sleep. He maintained his posture for a few hours, as if he couldn¡¯t get enough of her. The nended in Lan City, and the passengers on the ne disembarked one after another. Brother Chen got off the ne first to get his luggage, and Lin Qingqian slept for a few hours along the way and woke up for a few hours. When she opened her eyes again, she was carried off the ne by Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen took the VIP passageway and went straight to the underground parking lot. The chauffeur was already waiting for them. Li Wenwen was not so lucky. She took the ordinary passageway. Other than the fans who came to pick her up, there were also many reporters and paparazzi who wanted to interview her. And¡ª They wanted to interview Shenqian. In the end, they saw Suisui and since she was an unfamiliar face in the team, they regarded her as Shenqian. They grabbed her and refused to let her go, insisting on interviewing her about the giarism. Suisui was furious and rolled her eyes at them. She said angrily, ¡°giarism my a*s. Howe you didn¡¯t use the other party of giarism when he¡¯s the one who made baseless ims?¡± The reporters all took photos of her, and their questions became sharper and meaner¡­ Suisui couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Fortunately, Brother Jiang still had some humanity. He got someone toe over and save her before stuffing her into the huge van. However, this way, the Inte would think that she was really Shenqian. Immediately, #Shenqian Denies giarism# became a trending topic. Some people said that Shenqian looked so cute, while others said that she looked very ordinary and didn¡¯t seem fashionable at all. There were also people who questioned the way she spoke andpared it with the way Shenqian usually spoke on Weibo. She isn¡¯t Shenqian, right? They argued endlessly, causing the casual viewers to not be able to stand it anymore. They joined the battlefield and cursed. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know about this. After traveling for the past few days, her brain had already shut down. When she got out of the car, she was carried into the Begonia Courtyard by Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen ced her on the sofa and went to the kitchen to get a bottle of water. He unscrewed the cap and handed it to her. ¡°Rest here tonight and go back tomorrow. ¡± The airport was close to Begonia Courtyard. From here, there was still a 20 -minute journey to her apartment. Lin Qingqian opened her mouth and took a few sips of water. She put down the mineral water bottle and fell onto the sofa in azy posture. Jiang Yanshen sat down and pinched her little face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Jetg. It¡¯s ufortable,¡± Lin Qingqian said in a low voice. He bent down and kissed her forehead, coaxing her in a low voice, ¡°The auntie wille over to cookter. You can sleep right after dinner.¡± Previously, he had asked Lu Yuan to find an auntie to clean the ce every day. Now, she could be put to use. When they were still on the way, the auntie received the instructions and by the time they reached, dinner was ready. There was soup and three dishes. There was spicy and light food, and both of their tastes were taken into ount. Having eaten potatoes and burgers for the past few days, Lin Qingqian¡¯s spirit immediately recovered and she was no longer listless after tasting the Chinese food with the spicy taste that she was used to. Seeing that she was in better spirits. Tiang Yanshen asked. ¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Her culinary skills are very good. She canpete with my Aunt now.¡± Seeing that she was satisfied, Jiang Yanshen looked up and said to the auntie, ¡®You¡¯ll stay here in the future. Your sry will be increased by 5%.¡± The auntie did not expect the mister, whom she had never seen before, to increase her sry as soon as he returned. She was instantly overjoyed. ¡°Thank you, Mister. Thank you, Madam.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned and exined with a faint smile, ¡°His wife will be angry if she hears you call me that.¡± The smile on the auntie¡¯s face froze, and the atmosphere became awkward. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and looked at her helplessly. Why hadn¡¯t he realized that she was so naughty in the past? Seeing the auntie¡¯s expression change, the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips deepened. ¡°Call me Miss Lin in the future.¡± The auntie immediately went down the stairs. ¡°Alright, Miss Lin. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to work first.¡± She hurriedly removed the tes from the kitchen and washed them. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Aren¡¯t you my wife?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just your ex-wife!¡± Lin Qingqian held her chin with one hand and curled her hair with the other. She said casually, ¡°Who asked you not to exin and want to take advantage of me!¡± ¡°You might have some misunderstanding about the words ¡®take advantage¡¯.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up as he stood up and carried her away. The world spun. When Lin Qingqian reacted, she was already carried upstairs by him. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, stop fooling around. Put me down¡­¡± How could Jiang Yanshen listen to her? He walked upstairs with his long legs. ¡°Ah Yan, I haven¡¯t showered yet.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her. ¡°Let¡¯s shower together.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly turned red as she said softly, ¡°We don¡¯t have that thing¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s one on the bedside table, one in the bathroom, one in the study, and one downstairs.¡± His thin lips pressed against her face. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. We have a lot of time¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian: ¡® How could this man¡­ be so bad? Why didn¡¯t I notice it in the past! Jiang Yanshen kicked open the door of the room and closed it. Then, he kicked open the bathroom door and carried her into the bathroom. After putting her down, he couldn¡¯t give her a chance to escape and pressed her against the wall. After a round of torture, it was already past 11 pm. Lin Qingqian was so tired that she couldn¡¯t open her eyes and fell asleep on the bed. Jiang Yanshen kissed her ear, his eyes filled with warmth as he hugged her in satisfaction and entered a dream. The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up early in the morning. There was no sign of Jiang Yanshen on the bed. She picked up the bathrobe from the ground and put it on. Then, she got out of bed and pulled open the curtains¡­ It had rainedst night at some point. There was humidity outside the window, and the air was cool. She stood at the window for a while before going to the bathroom to wash up and change her clothes before going downstairs. Jiang Yanshen was not downstairs either. Lin Qingqian asked the auntie and found out that he had gone to thepany early in the morning. A trace of difort surged in her heart. When the auntie asked her where she wanted to eat breakfast, Lin Qingqian casually pointed to the backyard. There was an observation tform in the backyard that allowed one to enjoy the scenery while eating. Lin Qingqian sat down on a chair made of vines. Her gazended on the flower bed in the distance, and her brows moved slightly. ¡°What are those?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s vegetables.¡± The aunt put down her breakfast and exined, ¡°I heard that they used to nt roses. Later, Mister suddenly said that he wanted to pull them out and nt vegetables.¡± Lin Qingqian recalled the way he squatted on the balcony of the apartment and plucked at her vegetables. The unhappiness in her heart instantly dissipated. Her bright eyes were filled with smiles as she picked up her phone and sent him a WeChat message. [Director Jiang is so interesting to nt vegetables in the vi.] Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he called. Lin Qingqian had just picked it up when she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± She didn¡¯t say anything, just grunted. Jiang Yanshen seemed to know that she was feeling a little emotional and exined in a low voice, ¡°Something suddenly happened at thest minute and I couldn¡¯t wait for you to wake up. I¡¯ll coax youter, okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a teenage girl. I¡¯m not so pretentious that I even care about this.¡± After a pause, she asked, ¡°Is it rted to your second uncle?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer. Instead, he said, ¡°Let Chen Mu send you to thepany after dinner. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Lin Qingqian understood and didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°I understand. Go ahead.¡± With that, she hung up and looked at the scenery in the distance. She picked up the milk and sipped it. Jiang Yanshen had his own battlefield, and she had her own. The interest on the giarism issue had yet to stop. As soon as Lin Qingqian returned to thepany, she heard Su Ying say that many coborating studios had called to cancel their coboration. Lin Qingqian asked her to tell those people that it was fine to cancel the coboration, but once it was canceled, there¡¯s no way for them to cooperate anymore in the future. In addition, she asked Su Ying to contact Weibo and ask for information on that person. Shi Guang Studio needed an address to theirvvyer¡¯s letter. Han Liubai knocked on the door and stood at the door to look at her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and smiled faintly. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m in trouble?¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine!¡± he said gently. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Don¡¯t you want to ask about the giarism? Han Liubai shook his head and said firmly, ¡°I believe you didn¡¯t.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before smiling. ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s clear eyes were filled with a gentle smile and absolute trust. Her cell phone suddenly rang. Lin Qingqian picked up the call. In less than two minutes, her expression changed. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go over now.¡± Seeing that her expression was not right, Han Liubai asked, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Those media outlets couldn¡¯t find me and went to harass my master.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up her bag and cell phone and was about to leave when she thought of something and took out a document from the drawer. Han Liubai: ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him and didn¡¯t reject his good intentions. There were also reporters surrounding thepany¡¯s entrance, but they didn¡¯t know that there was a back door. Lin Oinzaian asked Brother Chen to drive the car to the back door and leave from there. When Lin Qingqian rushed to Clearwater Alley, she saw a bunch of reporters blocking the entrance of her master¡¯s house. A few men were holding DSLR cameras, and one or two of them were carryingrge video cameras and microphones. They knocked on the door relentlessly, causing the people living nearby to stick their heads out and scold them for disturbing the residents. The reporters were indifferent and knocked persistently. The tightly shut red wooden door finally opened slowly. An olddy in a dark green cheongsam and neatlybed hair and reading sses appeared in their field of vision..

She drank it and scrolled through Weibo. As soon as she opened thements, she spat out a mouthful of water. Everyone in thements section was guessing who Shenqian¡¯s boyfriend was. There were also people who linked her with Luo Tianxue. What? They even shipped her and Lu Qinshang!! Lin Qingqian: These people must be crazy! Little White Bunny rolled her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t care. I¡¯m determined to match them as a couple!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s delicate wife: Get lost! Our Qinshang couple is the king! Guangxi baby,e into mommy¡¯s arms. ¡°Our Qingxi Couple doesn¡¯t deserve a name?¡± Shenqian Is My Daughter: ¡°Wake up, all of you. My daughter is a good woman.¡± The other three couple pairing fans did not acknowledge each other. Without an official statement, they were single. If they were single, they could be matched without any scruples. Lin Qingqian: A call happened toe in. It was Jiang Yanshen. Just as Lin Qingqian picked up the call, she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voiceing from the other end of the phone. ¡°Have you seen the news online?¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds before asking carefully, ¡°Are you talking about the couple pairings?¡± There was some movement on the other end of the phone, followed by footsteps. A few secondster, she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s increasingly deep voice. ¡°Previously, someone spread rumors that I¡¯m dead. Now, they¡¯re spreading rumors of your partner. Shouldn¡¯t you deal with it?¡± Lin Qingqian tapped her finger on the table. ¡°Theizens are just ying around. There¡¯s no need to take it seriously.¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment before his low and hoarse voice sounded word by word. ¡°If I take it seriously?¡± Lin Qingqian: Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°Qianqian, have you never thought of giving me a status?¡± His low and hoarse voice couldn¡¯t hide his disappointment and helplessness. I¡¯m sorry, I really didn¡¯t think about it. ¡°I think we¡¯re doing quite well now. There¡¯s no need to make it public.¡± If it was in the past, she would definitely want to announce it to the world. But now¡­ it was different. She only wanted to date Jiang Yanshen quietly and work hard to be the best version of herself. ¡°You can choose not to make it public. At the very least, you can let others know that your fianc¨¦ isn¡¯t dead.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice sounded. He had already given in. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before agreeing. Jiang Yanshen stood in front of the French windows and looked at the scenery outside, his eyes dark. He would never have thought that one day, he would want to be acknowledged by her and introduced to the world¡­ That he, Jiang Yanshen, was Lin Qingqian¡¯s man. After hanging up, Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and changed the personal introduction on her Weibo page to¡ªIn love. She took a picture of her ankle bracelet and uploaded it to Weibo with the caption: ¡°The matchmaker¡¯s red string is already connected, so please stop trying to set me up with someone else.¡± As soon as the Weibo post was posted, the three sects of couple pairing fans immediately exploded. Who would have thought that the main character would personally dismantle their couple pairings on the first day! !! This was simply the first time in the history of the fan circle that they were holding a funeral on the day of the new year! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care if they were running for their funeral. If they weren¡¯t, they would be buriedter. Luo Tianxue came over toment: That dog of a man is not worthy! ! Lu Qinshang: F*ck! I almost died. Li Wenwen: Congrattions! After Lin Qingqian replied to them one by one, she exited Weibo. Because there was no concrete evidence for the giarism incident, Shi Guang Studio¡¯s attitude was firm and she went through the legal procedures. Soon, the person who had spread the rumors back sent an apology letter and the ounts that scolded Lin Qingqian the most were also blocked. The identity of the person who made the usation was revealed. It was a new designer.. Chapter 247 - 247: Try Finding Another Man! Chapter 247: Try Finding Another Man! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Although the court had sentenced the other party to apologize to Lin Qingqian, the other party pretended to be dead and didn¡¯t apologize. The court couldn¡¯t pry open the other party¡¯s mouth, so this matter was left unsettled. The other party did not receive any punishment. Instead, because of this matter, he became a verified ount on Weibo. asionally, someone would mention this matter on the Inte, but it was quickly washed away by public opinion. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take it to heart. Instead, she devoted herself to her independent brand. In the past, when she didn¡¯t work, she had drawn many designs. However, they weren¡¯t mature enough at that time, and the designs were a little rough. During this period of time, she had been redesigning and modifying them one by one. Her master¡¯s traditional cheongsam was not a popr style, but Lin Qingqian¡¯s style was more of a fusion of the Chinese and Western styles. Adding modern and trendy elements to the traditional design makes it more inclusive and essible to ordinary people. During this period of time, Jiang Yanshen was also very busy. The two of them left early and returnedte every day. Even if they bumped into each other, there were not many opportunities to talk. Lin Qingqian could vaguely sense that Jiang Yanshen was not in a good mood, but she couldn¡¯t spare the time and could only wait until she was done with the matters at hand. Begonia Courtyard. Jiang Yanshen got out of the car and entered the house. He didn¡¯t see the auntie, but he saw Lin Qingqian curled up on the sofa hugging herputer. His cold eyebrows raised. Lin Qingqian sensed that someone was watching her. When she looked up and saw him, she didn¡¯t even have time to turn off herputer. She got up and ran to him, hugging him. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± The warm embrace and soft voice made Jiang Yanshen feel like he had returned to the past. In the past, she had weed him home like this. Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°Dinner is in the kitchen. I¡¯ll get it for you!¡± She turned to go to the kitchen, but she had just taken a step when Jiang Yanshen pulled her back. Lin Qingqian blinked her bright eyes and looked at him. ¡°Why are you free toe back early tonight?¡± There was no emotion in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice. These days, she had been so busy that they couldn¡¯t hardly see each other. He went to the apartment to wait for her and returned even earlier than she did. But when she returned, she took a shower and went straight to bed. Otherwise, she would be drawing drafts and didn¡¯t care about him at all! After a few times, he decided not to go. Recently, he had returned to Begonia Courtyard. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m done with my work, and¡­ I miss you.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his deep eyes, as if he didn¡¯t believe her words. ¡°President Lin is even busier than me now.¡± Lin Qingqian could hear a hint of resentment in his words, and her lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°I was only busy for a while and you couldn¡¯t take it anymore. Do you know how I survived those seven years now?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± Her words refuted his righteousness and all his dissatisfaction. Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth in her ear. ¡°You¡¯re taking advantage of the way I dote on you now.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender arms wrapped around his waist as she exined, ¡°Didn¡¯t you also take advantage of the way I doted on you in the past?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and looked into her eyes. When he saw the light in her eyes, he bit her lips angrily. Lin Qingqian snorted in pain and said coquettishly, ¡°Are you done settling the score? If you¡¯re done, I¡¯ll go get your dinner.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t stop her anymore. He ced his coat on the sofa and turned to walk towards the dining area. Lin Qingqian walked over with a tray. There were two dishes and a soup, all prepared ording to his taste. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her. ¡°You¡¯re not eating? ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. She pulled out a chair at the side and sat down. She held her chin with one hand and looked at him. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s slightly furrowed brows rxed. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating slowly. ¡°How has Tianyue Group been recently?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and asked in a very casual tone. Although she had been very busy recently, she could asionally hear some gossip during dinner. It was said that the Tianyue Group had been very chaotic recently. The Second Master of the Jiang Family hade back and interacted with the shareholders frequently. Clearly, he wanted to make a big move. Jiang Yanshen knew what she was worried about and said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t be able to cause much trouble.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m almost done with my design drafts. The factory¡¯s schedule has been booked, and the website is almost done. Director Jiang, are you interested in discussing a coboration with me?¡± Jiang Yanshen paused in his actions and looked at her disdainfully with his ck eyes. He said with a righteous attitude, ¡°If President Lin wants to talk to me about work, please make an appointment with my secretary first. This is my private time.¡± Lin Qingqian: Was this man a monkey? If he was given a bamboo pole, he would climb up! ¡°I see¡­¡± She pretended to be regretful.¡± Then, I can only call Luo Tianxue and ask. I think she¡¯s very willing to help me! ¡± She had just picked up her phone when Jiang Yanshen snatched it away. ¡°Jiang Yanshen!!¡± Her coquettish voice was filled with anger. Jiang Yanshen put the phone aside and stared at her with his dark eyes. His eyes were bright, but his tone was filled with warning. ¡°If you dare to look for other men, try!¡± Lin Qingqian: It was too much not to talk to her and not allow her to talk to others! She stood up and was about to leave. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have expected this. He reached out and grabbed her wrist. With a sharp tug, Lin Qingqian fell into his arms. ¡°Why are you running?¡± A low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, mixed with a hint of teasing. Lin Qingqian raised her head and red at him. ¡°Let go of me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just saying that we won¡¯t talk about work for the time being. Why are you in a hurry?¡± His well-defined fingers pinched her little face gently. Why hadn¡¯t he realized that she was so impatient in the past? Lin Qingqian turned her head and wanted to bite his finger. Fortunately, Jiang Yanshen reacted quickly and retracted it in time. ¡°Alright, at least wait for me to finish dinner first.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and finally softened his stance to coax her first. Lin Qingqian nced at him and her heart softened. ¡°Then put me down.¡± Jiang Yanshen hugged her and wouldn¡¯t let go. ¡°Feed me.¡± T.in Oin?nian nced at him ¡°Vnnr hand is broken?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm as he said righteously, ¡°I¡¯ll discuss business with you after you feed me.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up the bowl and chopsticks. As she fed him, she said, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I realize that you¡¯re getting more and more shameless.¡± Jiang Yanshen seemed to have been praised as his thin lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°I realize that you¡¯re bing bolder and bolder.¡± Now, she was not afraid of him at all. Lin Qingqian raised her chin proudly. ¡°I¡¯m bold to begin with. In the past, I thought that you liked obedient little bunnies and were just pretending.¡± The light in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes became gentler. His fingersnded on her forehead and he knocked lightly. ¡°Naughty.¡± But he liked the naughty Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s arms were sore from raising them. After feeding him dinner, she got up and tidied up the table to bring to the kitchen. Auntie woulde to deal with it tomorrow. When she returned upstairs, she took out her pajamas from the closet to take a shower. The man who had just entered the bathroom followed her in. Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned before saying, ¡°What are you doing? Get out, get out¡­¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to talk business? We can start now¡­¡± Meeting his burning gaze, her in face suddenly heated up. Her cheeks were red as she muttered softly, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re really shameless¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen ignored her and reached out to pull her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips, coaxing her to call him Ah Yan¡­ Three hourster. Lin Qingqian had already fallen into a deep sleep. Jiang Yanshen put on a clean nightdress for her and covered her with a nket, raising the temperature of the room. He kissed her still red face, picked up the pajama pants on the ground, and put them on. After dimming the lights at the head of the bed, he picked up his phone and walked out of the room barefoot. There was a balcony on the second floor. At this moment, the moonlight nted over the entire human world, as if it had covered everything with a thin veil. It was silent and mysterious. Jiang Yanshen made a call and didn¡¯t care if the other party was awake. He said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°vacate the best counters in all the malls under the Tianyue Group.¡± With that, he ended the call and looked up at the very cold moon. For once, the light in her eyes was not soaked by the moonlight. He would give her whatever she wanted as long as she was happy. Even if he felt ufortable and couldn¡¯t help but want to drag her from the bustling world into his endless cold hell. Lin Qingqian¡¯s independent brand was quickly set forunch, and the ambassador chosen was none other than Luo Tianxue. Thest time, Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t get to wear Love¡¯s Haven. After that, she threw a tantrum. If she didn¡¯t make her the ambassador this time, there would be a hugemotion. Of course, the most important reason was that if she used Luo Tianxue, the endorsement fee could be halved, which was beneficial to saving costs. Luo Tianxue knew nothing about this and happily spent a few days to help her take publicity photos and advertisements. Lin Qingqian brought Su Ying to visit the set. Perhaps because the ambassador of the brand is Luo Tianxue, she was more enthusiastic than ever. During the intermission, Luo Tianxue ran over and said with a smile, uann, am 1 Deauurulf¡± Before Lin Qingqian could answer, Su Ying replied impatiently, ¡°You look good. Tianxue, you¡¯re really beautiful!¡± Her eyes were filled with admiration. Luo Tianxue was also very happy to receive praise from her fans. ¡°Qianqian, look, I¡¯ve already reduced my fees to help you endorse the brand. Don¡¯t you think¡­ Lin Qingqian reached out to help her tidy her hair and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll rmend Vin to feature you in the September issue of Z Magazine.¡± Luo Tianxue took a deep breath and her eyes widened. ¡°Are you serious?¡± She just wanted to ask Lin Qingqian if she could help her design a set of clothes. She didn¡¯t expect her to throw a pancake at her. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°You don¡¯t want to take it?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Luo Tianxue blurted out, his eyes shining. ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect you to be willing to help me build a connection with Z Magazine.¡± ¡°Thank yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian exined gently, ¡°Your drama¡¯s viewership ratings have skyrocketed, and your acting skills have also been affirmed. Now, the industry has a very high evaluation of you!¡± This way, Vin would naturally ept Luo Tianxue being on the cover of the magazine. Luo Tianxue immediately floated into the sky. ¡°Aiya, there aren¡¯t many people like me in the industry who are good-looking and have acting skills.¡± Lin Qingqian and Su Ying were amused by her. When the filming ended, Luo Tianxue invited them to eat. When they arrived, they realized that Jiang Yanshen and Lu Dongcheng were also there.. Chapter 248 - 248: If You ‘re Chased Out of the Jiang Family One Day, I’ll Raise You Chapter 248: If You ¡®re Chased Out of the Jiang Family One Day, I¡¯ll Raise You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Luo Tianxue saw Jiang Yanshen pout, and even Lu Dongcheng did not look good. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lu Dongcheng nced at the little girl. ¡®We¡¯re talking.¡± ¡°Are you talking or looking for fun?¡± Luo Tianxue snorted softly, bing even more arrogant in front of Lu Dongcheng. Lu Dongcheng ignored her. Jiang Yanshen looked at Lin Qingqian with his ck eyes. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and reached for her. Lin Qingqian walked over and held his hand naturally. ¡°You guys talk. We won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯ll talk after eating.¡± How can talking be more important than eating with Qianqian? Su Ying and Luo Tianxue looked at each other and felt like they had been forcefully stuffed with dog food. The five of them asked for arge private room. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian sat together, Luo Tianxue and Lu Dongcheng sat together, and Su Ying found a seat alone to reduce her presence as much as possible. All of them were big shots, so she, a small shrimp, would just eat silently. Lin Qingqian saw Lu Yuan at the side and said gently, ¡°Lu Yuan, sit down and eat with us.¡± Lu Yuan was ttered. He nced at Lu Dongcheng and shook his head. ¡°Thank you, Miss Lin. There¡¯s no need.. ¡°Just take it that you¡¯re helping me take care of Su Ying,¡± Lin Qingqian said. Su Ying was introverted and shy. It was inevitable that she would be unable to rx when eating with them. It would be better with Lu Yuan taking care of her. Lu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything and looked at Jiang Yanshen. Seeing the boss nod, he thanked her again and sat down beside Su Ying. Su Ying had seen him a few times and knew that he had a good temper. She smiled at him. Lu Yuan also smiled politely. Lu Dongcheng, who was holding a teacup, snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, ¡°Even Tom, Dick, and Harry cane to the table. Director Jiang, aren¡¯t you afraid of losing your value?¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became awkward. Those with discerning eyes knew that these words were targeted at Lu Yuan. They couldn¡¯t help but look at the two of them curiously. Lu Yuan clenched his fists under the table and didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian poured a ss of water and turned it to Lu Yuan. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°If President Lu feels that sitting here is degrading your status, you can always leave.¡± Lu Yuan was stunned. He followed the direction of the teacup and looked at Lin Qingqian, his heart filled with gratitude. Madam is protecting him!!! ¡°Miss Lin, I did show some kindness to you at least, I don¡¯t expect any repayment from you, but there¡¯s no need to repay me with animosity, right?¡± said Lu Dongcheng, his gaze lingering yfully on Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian blinked and said in a calm voice, ¡°President Lu, didn¡¯t I repay your kindness by forgiving Miss Luo?¡± If not for his sake, would she have let Luo Tianxue go just like that after offending her twice? ¡°Sharp-tongued.¡± Lu Dongcheng looked at the silent Jiang Yanshen with his dark eyes. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to care?¡± Jiang Yanshen helped Lin Qingqian prepare the tea and his thin lips twitched. ¡°I¡¯m afraid of my wife.¡± Lu Dongcheng: Ever since he got Lin Qingqian back, Jiang Yanshen seemed to be getting more and more shameless. He could even say such things without batting an eyelid. Just as he was about to speak, Luo Tianxue said impatiently, ¡°Are you done? Are you going to let us eat?¡± Lu Dongcheng nced at the frustration on her beautiful face and swallowed the words that were about toe out of his mouth. His hawk-like eyes faintly nced at Lu Yuan opposite him. Lu Yuan lowered his head and drank his tea, pretending not to see it. At this time, the Manager brought the attendant over to serve the dishes. This topic could finally be stopped. Perhaps because of what had happened previously, the meal was very quiet. No one tried to start a conversation. Jiang Yanshenpletely ignored Lu Dongcheng¡¯s murderous expression and his attention was on Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s bowl was about to pile up into a small mountain from the food that Jiang Yanshen kept adding to her rice. She couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°It¡¯s enough. I can¡¯t finish it.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her thin face and frowned. ¡°Eat more. You¡¯re too thin.¡± Lin Qingqian could only bite the bullet and eat more. Luo Tianxue had to maintain her figure and eat little. She ate only the vegetables. Lu Dongcheng took some meat for her and Luo Tianxue picked them all out. She said impatiently, ¡°Can you stop being annoying? I can¡¯t eat meat. I have many photoshoots to go to these few days. I can¡¯t gain weight.¡± ¡°You¡¯re already so thin. And you still want to diet?¡± Lu Dongcheng¡¯s expression darkened slightly as he said in a cold voice, ¡°Don¡¯t eat anythingter. Just find someone to give you nutrient fluid.¡± Seeing that he was showing signs of losing his temper, Luo Tianxue¡¯s anger immediately dissipated by more than half. She whispered, ¡°I can¡¯t eat for these few days. I¡¯ll eat moreter. Besides, the food they make here isn¡¯t as delicious as yours.¡± When her attitude softened, Lu Dongcheng¡¯s temper disappeared. ¡°After you¡¯re done with your work, follow me back to Jiang City to rest for a few days.¡± Luo Tianxue nodded and agreed first. Whether she returned or not would have to wait untilter! Lu Yuan ate his food in silence. asionally, he would secretly nce at the two of them from the corner of his eye and quickly lower his eyes, thinking about something. After dinner, Luo Tianxue had to go back to work. Lu Yuan went to pay the bill. When he saw Luo Tianxue in front, he couldn¡¯t help but quicken his pace and walk up to her. He lowered his voice and said dryly, ¡°Thank you.¡± Luo Tianxue nced at him and pursed her red lips. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Ignore him next time. He¡¯s just like that.¡± Lu Yuan didn¡¯t reply and went to the cashier to settle the bill. Lu Dongcheng and Jiang Yanshen were originally going to discuss something, but after they encountered Lin Qingqian, they naturally moved the matter to ater date. On the way back, Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°What grudges does Lu Dongcheng have with Lu Yuan?¡± Every time Lu Dongcheng saw Lu Yuan, it was as if he had seen the enemy who had killed his father. Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on her hand and said calmly, ¡°His surname is Lu.¡± He had always been emotionless when it came to the matters of other people. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she reacted and was a little surprised. ¡°Lu Yuan and Lu Dongcheng are¡­ brothers?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t deny it and continued, ¡°Lu Dongcheng¡¯s father is famous for being a yboy in Jiang City.¡± It was obvious how flirtatious he was to have three children with different women. ¡°But Lu Dongcheng treats Luo Tianxue, his half-sister, very well. Why is he so hostile to Lu Yuan?¡± Lin Qingqian was puzzled. ¡°Lu Dongcheng has a sisterplex.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and saw that she was interested. He patiently exined the Lu family¡¯s matters for once. ¡°Lu Dongcheng¡¯s mother was the main wife but she died early. His father had been a yboy for many years, but in the end, he was subdued by Lu Yuan¡¯s mother. He even wanted to bring the mother and son pair back to the Lu family.¡± The Lu Family was a big family. Lu Dongcheng already had his hands full dealing with his cousins at home. Now that he had another half-brother who was favored by the Old Master, how could he not hate Lu Yuan¡¯s existence? ¡°After that, Lu Yuan didn¡¯t enter the Lu Family?¡± If he had entered the Lu Family, he wouldn¡¯t be Jiang Yanshen¡¯s special assistant now. ¡°The mother and son pair were unlucky. The day before they entered the Lu Family, Old Master Lu passed away.¡± Of course, Lu Yuan couldn¡¯t enter the Lu Family. Lu Dongcheng didn¡¯t even allow them to pay respects to Old Master Lu. Fortunately, Lu Yuan didn¡¯t really want to return to the Lu Family. As soon as Old Master Lu died, he immediately ran to Lan City and applied to enter the Tianyue Group and was eventually promoted to the position of special assistant. Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and sighed softly. ¡°As expected, there¡¯s a lot of melodrama in the wealthy families. When I look at it this way, the Jiang family isn¡¯t tooplicated.¡± Jiang Yunshen had a big brotherplex and admired Jiang Yanshen very much. Although the people from the coteral branch all had ulterior motives, they didn¡¯t have the guts to do anything. So, they were nothing. Jiang Yunshen had a big brotherplex and admired Jiang Yanshen very much. Although the people from the coteral branch all had ulterior motives, they didn¡¯t have the guts to do anything. So, they were nothing. Other than Jiang Chongjing eyeing his position covetously, there was no other potential danger. Jiang Yanshen understood the deeper meaning in her words. He held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, ¡°No matter how chaotic the Jiang family is, with me protecting you, what are you afraid of?¡± A smile appeared on Lin Qingqian¡¯s in face. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid, so you don¡¯t have to be afraid too. If you¡¯re chased out of the Jiang family one day, I¡¯ll support you.¡± ¡°From the looks of it, you¡¯re looking forward to me being chased out of the Jiang family.¡± Jiang Yanshen chuckled. Lin Qingqian nodded and said seriously, ¡°This way, I can experience the joy of raising a little wolfdog.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly as he bit her lips. Lin Qingqian was thin-skinned and was afraid that the chauffeur would see her. She reached out to push him away and red at him coquettishly. She only said that he was a little wolfdog, but he bit her? As expected, he¡¯s just a little wolfdog! Lin Qingqian¡¯s independent brand was almost ready forunch. The gship shop online and the physical shops opened on the same day. The advertisement for the promotional photos taken by Luo Tianxue had already been released in advance. The official Weibo ount on the Inte had also been promoted and warmed up in advance. Many fans were looking forward to seeing the photos and promotional photos. Although the price was a little expensive, it was still affordable if they saved for it. On the day of the opening, other than Luo Tianxue the ambassador, Lu Qinshang and Li Wenwen came to support her. Ren Guangxi was preparing for his album and couldn¡¯t spare time, but he specially asked his manager to send a flower basket to congratte her. Vin, Xu Wan, and the others also arrived to congratte her. There were many reporters and media people at the event location. Other than interviewing Lin Qingqian, they also wanted to interview Luo Tianxue, Lu Qinshang, and the others. However, no matter how the reporters asked, everyone would bring the topic back to today¡¯s event. Originally, many people were here for their idols. In the end, when they entered the shop and saw the beautiful clothes, they couldn¡¯t help but want to try them on and buy one. Unconsciously, they ended up purchasing three or four pieces and then realized with dismay, ¡°Oh no, now I don¡¯t have money to buy Big Brother¡¯s merchandise.¡± Lu Qinshang said indifferently, ¡°If you don¡¯t have money, then don¡¯t buy it. I¡¯m not short of money.¡± The Maple Leaves were so touched that they continued to cry. ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re really too awesome. Then I¡¯ll go buy onest dress.¡± Lu Qinshang: Now, he couldn¡¯t evenpare to a piece of clothing?? The shop was very busy. Suisui and Su Ying had been called over to help, and the situation online was not much better. Although they had prepared their manpower and stock in advance, they didn¡¯t expect the fans to be so enthusiastic. They bought everything in three hours and all the goods were taken off the shelves. Lin Qingqian¡¯s phone was ringing non-stop, and Han Liubai was not much better. He helped to answer the calls and contact the manufacturer. When Jiang Yanshen came over, Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was hoarse from answering the call. When she saw him, she was first stunned, then her bright eyes couldn¡¯t help but be filled with joy. When her toes moved towards him, she stopped. There were too many reporters at the event location. It was very easy for her to expose her rtionship if she went over like this. When the reporters saw Jiang Yanshening over, they all rushed over as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Lu Yuan was already prepared. He rushed to the front and separated the reporters from Director Jiang. ¡°Please make way¡­¡± Luo Tianxue, who was originally enjoying being the center of attention, was instantly ignored.. She nced at Jiang Yanshen, who wasparable to a celebrity, and mocked softly, ¡°Dog of a man! If you like to steal the limelight so much, why don¡¯t you debut as an idol!¡± Chapter 249 - 249: Director Jiang and Daughter Mutual Promotion Chapter 249: Director Jiang and Daughter Mutual Promotion Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang raised his chin and said proudly, ¡°My Ah Yan is handsome and charming. He can kill everyone even without debuting. Are you green with envy?¡± Luo Tianxue turned her head and looked at him with her starry eyes, as if to say, Are you retarded? Lu Qinshang: Lin Qingqian watched as Jiang Yanshen ignored the reporter¡¯s interview and walked in front of her. His eyes were bright and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°President Lin, congrattions.¡± The way he called her ¡°President Lin¡± was so calm that it was as if they were really unrted. However, their eyes couldn¡¯t hide their light. When Lin Qingqian saw those reporters taking photos, she lowered her eyes slightly and hid her emotions well. She said indifferently, ¡°Thank you, Director Jiang. It¡¯s really an honor to have you here.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his lips and remained silent. The reporter ignored Lu Yuan¡¯s obstruction and stretched out the microphone to interview him. ¡°Director Jiang, you rarely appear in public. Why are you participating in Designer Lin¡¯s brand opening this time?¡± When Lu Yuan was about to block, Jiang Yanshen turned around and faced the reporters. The warmth in his eyes dissipated, and he said calmly, ¡°I personally admire Designer Lin¡¯s designs very much. She canbine our culture with Western art and design her own style of clothes. I believe that she will definitely stand at the top of the fashion industry in the future and influence and lead the fashion culture.¡± The reporter asked again, ¡°Director Jiang, in that case, the cooperation between Tianyue Group and Designer Lin is also because of her design talent?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded without thinking. ¡°Tianyue Group admires people who have the ability and promotes Chinese culture and art very much.¡± ¡°Designer Lin, what do you have to say about Director Jiang¡¯s appreciation?¡± The reporter changed the topic and immediately interviewed Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were light as she nced at Jiang Yanshen and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Thank you for your appreciation, Director Jiang. I hope we can work well together.¡± Yanshen nodded ¡°Director Jiang, Designer Lin, can you stand together and let us take photos?¡± A reporter asked. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t answer immediately, but looked at Director Jiang. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and was silent for more than ten seconds before saying, ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian stood beside Jiang Yanshen, leaving a gap in the middle that could amodate another person. Not far away, Lu Qinshang looked at them and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. ¡°These two people are actually promoting each other in public. They¡¯re really good at pretending!¡± It was rare for Luo Tianxue to have the same opinion as him. ¡°A good begonia flower has been contaminated into a poppy flower.¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Lu Qinshang spat at this. ¡°I¡¯ll say that Lin Qingqian has led our Ah Yan astray!¡± Luo Tianxue turned around and looked at him. Then, they snorted in unison and turned around to ignore each other. If not for the fact that they were afraid that the reporters would see them quarreling and start writing nonsense about them, they would probably have directly killed each other. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were standing too far away and were asked by the reporters to get closer. Before Lin Qingqian could move, Jiang Yanshen took two steps forward and stood beside her, his hands behind his back. When the reporters asked them to look at the camera, Jiang Yanshen secretly held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand behind him when no one was paying attention. Lin Qingqian subconsciously looked up at him. The moment she turned her head, she was photographed by the reporters. The reporter was dissatisfied and wanted to take another photo, but Jiang Yanshen had already turned his body to keep a distance from Lin Qingqian and gave Lu Yuan a look. Lu Yuan understood and stopped the reporters from interviewing and taking photos. Lin Qingqian also calmed down and invited him in as if nothing had happened. The shop was divided into two floors. There was also a lounge specially set up for VIPs. For a VIP like Jiang Yanshen, Lin Qingqian naturally had to personally apany him to the lounge. As soon as the door of the lounge closed, the polite smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly dissipated and she was filled with joy. ¡°Why are you here?¡± She looked at his exquisite face with bright eyes, unable to hide her feelings. Seeing her happy expression, Jiang Yanshen knew that this trip hadn¡¯t been in vain. He held her hand. ¡°Of course it¡¯s to support you.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled him to the sofa and sat down. ¡°No one has sat on this new sofa before. You¡¯re the first.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He reached out to pick up the mineral water on the table, unscrewed it, and handed it to her. ¡°Drink more water. Your throat is hoarse.¡± Lin Qingqian took it and took two sips before saying helplessly, ¡°I can¡¯t help it. I¡¯m too busy.¡± ¡°Drink a few more sips,¡± he said. Lin Qingqian obediently drank a few more mouthfuls and felt that her dry throat had improved a lot. Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her face. ¡°You didn¡¯t prepare beforehand?¡± ¡°I did, but I didn¡¯t expect it to reach such a scale.¡± The team had made a n in advance and included the celebrity effect, but it was still beyond their expectations. ¡°It¡¯s very difficult to start a business. You¡¯ve just started.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep voice was emotionless, but his ck eyes were filled with heartache. Ever since she graduated, she had been staying at home because he felt that there was no need for girls to work so hard. Moreover, it was not like he couldn¡¯t afford to raise her. It was just that he had never expressed his good intentions properly in the past. Lin Qingqian put down the mineral water bottle and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s hard work, but I¡¯m very happy. I feel that my life is very fulfilling and meaningful!¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she wanted to pursue her career and dreams, and he didn¡¯t want to stop her. Otherwise, he would not have asked his people to leave the best shop in the mall to her. Hisrge palm grabbed her green fingers and held them firmly in his palm. He said in a low voice, ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll transfer Song Qin to you.¡± Other than Lu Yuan, the most capable person in the secretary¡¯s office was Song Qin. ¡°No need.¡± Lin Qingqian hugged his arm and tilted her head to lean on his shoulder. ¡°If you really want to help me, let me lean on you for a while to recharge. ¡± She had been so busy with the opening ceremony these past few days that she had not slept well. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her hair. He said dotingly, ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want Song Qin because she knew that he needed someone loyal like her by his side. But who would have thought.. Later on, she became her most capable assistant. The two of them were stunned for almost ten minutes. Lin Qingqian stood up and took a deep breath. She said energetically, ¡°I¡¯m done charging. I should go out now.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and took out a piece of candy from his pocket. He tore it open and fed it to her. ¡°Open your mouth.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Then, she opened her mouth and put the candy in. Immediately, the milky fragrance spread in her mouth. Her mouth tasted sweetness, but her heart felt even sweeter. ¡°Why did you think of bringing me a sweet?¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. ¡°Chen Mu said that you¡¯ve been feeling dizzy recently. You must have not eaten well and your blood sugar is low.¡± Lin Qingqian was sweetened by his heartwarming actions. She was even happier than receiving more than a hundred thousand yuan worth of jewelry. She tiptoed and pecked his lips. ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly, as if he was not satisfied. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. The man who did not like sweet food rxed his brows when he tasted the sweetness. He smiled. ¡°It¡¯s very sweet.¡± She didn¡¯t know if he was talking about the candy or¡­ her! Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was red, and the corners of her eyes were filled with joy. She said in a light voice, ¡°I have a gift for you too..¡± Chapter 250 - 250: Ebony Agarwood, Exclusive to Director Jiang Chapter 250: Ebony Agarwood, Exclusive to Director Jiang Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. ¡°What gift?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t answer. She turned around and took out a small ck box with English printed on it from her handbag and handed it to him. Jiang Yanshen nced at her and took the box with his well-defined fingers. He opened it unhurriedly and took out a transparent bottle. ¡°Perfume?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Your bottle is an old model. This is a new one. It has the same fragrance, but the final tone has been changed.¡± Seeing that Jiang Yanshen did not move, Lin Qingqian took the perfume and sprayed it on his wrist twice. A faint fragrance assailed her nose, and Lin Qingqian was very happy. ¡°What is this smell?¡± Jiang Yanshen also smelled it. It smelled better than before. Most importantly, she liked it. ¡°This is called ebony agarwood.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her bright eyes shining. ¡°Does it smell good?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. Looking at her beautiful posture, his throat moved and he couldn¡¯t help but lower his head to smell her red lips. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee, Director Jiang,¡± Lin Qingqian replied happily. She didn¡¯t tell him that this perfume had stopped production. This was thest bottle and would never be produced again. It was exclusive to him. She had gone to almost all the perfume shops in Paris and bought it with great difficulty. Jiang Yanshen put the perfume into his pocket. ¡°The can of candy is with Chen Mu. Remember to get itter.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright. Let¡¯s go out, Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and scratched the tip of her nose before walking out of the VIP room. Lin Qingqian retracted the smile on her lips and regained her calmness and indifference in front of outsiders as she followed Jiang Yanshen. Luo Qingshang and Luo Tianxue saw theming down, and the same thought popped into their minds: Here theye, the mutual promotion with their acting skills. Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Designer Lin, please stop. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Then I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Lu Qinshang secretly rolled his eyes. What send off! You¡¯ll still have to sleep on the same bedter. Jiang Yanshen walked forward. Lu Yuan followed beside him consciously to avoid him being harassed by the reporters. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave too! Best of luck for your business!¡± After Lu Qinshang greeted Lin Qingqian, he quickly followed Jiang Yanshen. Luo Tianxue walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and nudged her elbow. ¡°The two of you are quite good at pretending!¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her. I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about! ¡°Your acting skills are so good. It¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t enter the entertainment industry.¡± Luo Tianxue continued to tease her. ¡°If you have the time to talk, why don¡¯t you go and sign a few more autographs for your fans? I can also sell a few more clothes.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡® Lin Qingqian ignored her and turned to look for Xiao Bai. Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue at her back and snorted. ¡°Money, money, money! All you know is money. I think you¡¯re blinded by money.¡± Although sheined, her body still went to the door honestly to sign autographs for the fans and ask them to support Lin Qingqian¡¯s brand more. Han Liubai had always been the one entertaining Vin and Xu Wan. At this moment, Lin Qingqian finally had the time to chat with them. ¡°President Lin, congrattions.¡± Xu Wan toasted her with a ss of champagne. ¡°Our President asked me to convey his blessings for theunch of your independent brand.¡± Lin Qingqian took the champagne from Han Liubai and clinked sses with her. ¡°Thank you. Help me convey my gratitude to Master L.¡± Xu Wan: ¡°Definitely.¡± The two of them took a sip politely. Vin raised his ss to congratte her and looked at Luo Tianxue, who was signing autographs for her fans. ¡°Luo Tianxue is different from what I imagined.¡± The outside world said that Luo Tianxue was cute and innocent, but in the industry, there were rumors that she was arrogant. It seemed like none of them were true. Lin Qingqian understood what she meant. ¡°It¡¯s normal for a young girl to have some thoughts and emotions.¡± Vinughed. ¡°Designer Lin, you¡¯re not much older than her. There¡¯s no need to be so old-fashioned.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. I can¡¯tpare to those young girls,¡± Lin Qingqian said humbly. Xu Wan and Vin were older than Lin Qingqian, but Lin Qingqian was three years older than Luo Tianxue, so she always looked at Luo Tianxue like she was looking at a little sister. ¡°Do you have any good ideas for Luo Tianxue¡¯s feature in the September issue? Vin asked. Lin Qingqian looked helpless. ¡°Spare me. I was the one who did the Spring and Summer issues. If you look for me again, aren¡¯t you afraid that others will say that we have secret dealings!¡± Vin said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t care what others think. The most important thing is to get Z Magazine done well.¡± Lin Qingqian still shook her head. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ve been quite busy with thepany recently. You saw it too¡­¡± Most importantly, she had to leave some opportunities for others. Vin was a little disappointed. ¡°Alright, then you must help me make two issues of the magazine next year. Also, you can¡¯t always share your styling skills on Weibo.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian agreed happily. Only then did Vin and Xu Wan go shopping in satisfaction to see if there were any good-looking clothes. Only then did Lin Qingqian have time to talk to Han Liubai. ¡°What did the factory say?¡± ¡°There are too many online orders. The factory will take at least half a month to fulfill the orders,¡± Han Liubai said helplessly. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. ¡°Inform the factory to work 24 hours a day, but the quality can¡¯t bepromised. We can provide bonuses to the workers.¡± ¡°Even so, the delivery speed will be slow.¡± ¡°The problem of the slow delivery can bepensated with an unconditional refund, but there must be no problem with the quality.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gentle voice had an iparable certainty. Seeing that she was so determined, Han Liubai heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact the manufacturer.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°By the way, Miss Li left just now. Before she left, she said that there was an event next month and she specifically wanted you to style her.¡± After hearing this, Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind buzzed. ¡°As expected, money is not so easy to earn. ¡± It was inevitable that one person couldn¡¯t do too many things at the same time. ¡°Are you very tired?¡± Han Liubai saw the tiredness in her eyes and said considerately, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go and rest? We¡¯ll hold the situation down.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected his good intentions. ¡°This is my battlefield. How can I leave my soldiers on the battlefield and hide at the back to enjoy the peace?¡± ¡°But you can¡¯t force yourself. Your body is more important than anything else,¡± Han Liubai said worriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at his slightly pale face. ¡°You really should rest too.¡± Han Liubai smiled indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± ¡°Go back and rest after calling the manufacturer.¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted him. ¡°No need, I¡­ ¡°This is your boss¡¯s order!¡± Han Liubai couldn¡¯t dissuade her and nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go get busy.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled after saying that. She turned around and walked towards Su Ying and the others. Han Liubai looked at her back with a gentle gaze. However, when his gazended on the anklet on her ankle, it couldn¡¯t help but dim. In the car. Xu Wan handed him a cup of ginseng tea. ¡°President Han, you don¡¯t look too good.¡± Han Liubai coughed a few times and took a sip of warm ginseng tea to moisten his throat. He said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xu Wan was still worried. For the first time, although she knew that he would be unhappy if he heard this, she still said, ¡°President Han, if you continue like this, you¡¯ll burn your body out. Why don¡¯t you resign from this¡­¡± Before she could say the word ¡°job¡±, Han Liubai turned his head, his eyes cold. Her voice stopped abruptly. ¡°I know my body.¡± Xu Wan lowered her head and didn¡¯t dare to say anything else. Han Liubai knew that she was also worried about his health, and his expression softened a little. He asked softly, ¡°How¡¯s Jiang Chongjing?¡± ¡°Jiang Chongjing has been very active recently. He¡¯s contacting the shareholders of Tianyue Group and wants to buy shares,¡± Xu Wan replied. ¡°He probably wants to fight it out with Jiang Yanshen.¡± ¡°Acquiring shares requires a lot of money. Does he have it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so, but¡ª¡± Xu Wan paused. ¡°I heard that Madam Jiang has recently sold a lot of jewelry. I think these two people have already colluded to deal with Jiang Yanshen.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if Jiang Chongjing doesn¡¯t have money. We do.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s expression was indifferent, and his tone was even gentle. However, when itnded in Xu Wan¡¯s ears, there was not much gentleness to speak of. ¡°Help him!¡± Xu Wan nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After a moment of silence, she said, ¡°What about Miss Lin?¡± She wanted to say something but hesitated. Han Liubai turned to look at her. Xu Wan exined, ¡°I¡¯m worried that if Jiang Yanshen is really moved down by Jiang Chongjing, will Miss Lin stand on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side?¡± If Lin Qingqian stood on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side, what would President Han¡­ do? Han Liubai¡¯s eyes gradually darkened. His eyes were as dark as ink and bottomless. His throat itched and he couldn¡¯t help but cough. His pale face gradually turned abnormally red. Xu Wan patted his back worriedly. He gradually stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, take it that I¡¯m¡­ returning it to her.¡± Xu Wan was stunned. Lin Qingqian had been busy for three whole days because of the brand¡¯sunch. Other than eating and sleeping, she was either busy with the shop or thepany for the rest of the time. When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had not seen Jiang Yanshen for three days. When she opened her WeChat chat history, it was still Jiang Yanshen asking her to eat. She was so busy that she only replied with an ¡°Alright.¡± Oh no. Thest time, she was too busy to pay attention to him and he even sulked. She didn¡¯t know if he would be angry this time. If she had known earlier, she wouldn¡¯t have given him the ebony agarwood that day. At least she would have a gift to coax him now. Her heart was beating like a drum. She still had to go. Fortunately, she didn¡¯t have so much work to do and was not in a hurry to finish it. Lin Qingqian decisively got off work early and personally picked Jiang Yanshen up. She was wearing a green floral dress with a V-neck today. Her curly hair was tied into a loose braid on the right and she walked into the Tianyue Group with a paper bag. The front desk girl, Mini, immediately gasped when she saw her. She was so surprised that she almost screamed¡­ Lin Qingqian made a shushing gesture, and Mini didn¡¯t make a sound. ¡°Remember me?¡± Mini nodded fiercely. ¡°I remember. I also know that you¡¯re Shenqian. I followed your Weibo and even tried to buy your clothes, but I couldn¡¯t get anything!!¡± She had to go to work and didn¡¯t have time to buy it in a physical shop. Lin Qingqian smiled slightly and handed her the paper bag in her hand. ¡°See if you like the clothes I promised to make for youst time!¡± Mini was so excited that she almost fainted¡­ ¡°I like it! I like it! Goddess, you actually personally made clothes for me!!¡± Mini felt that she had already reached the peak of her life! ! Lin Qingqian was amused by her cute appearance. ¡°Then take a look first. Can I go up and look for your Director Jiang?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Mini said without thinking, ¡°Goddess, don¡¯t worry. Our Director Jiang keeps his nose clean and doesn¡¯t get close to women. Moreover¡­ even if womene to look for Director Jiang, I definitely won¡¯t let them in!!¡± Lin Qingqian: Chapter 251 - 251: The Matter of Jiang Yanshen’s Bipolar Disorder Has Been Exposed! Chapter 251: The Matter of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s Bipr Disorder Has Been Exposed! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian had already been here once. She could find Jiang Yanshen¡¯s office without anyone bringing her, so she entered the elevator alone. What she didn¡¯t know was that as soon as she entered the elevator, Mini had already taken a photo and showed it off in thepany¡¯s WeChat group. The futuredy boss had personally made a dress for her! And it¡¯s the only one of this design in the world! Immediately, the WeChat group exploded! Everyone who had seen Lin Qingqianst time remembered her. Later on, when they saw her on the news, they recognized her at a nce. Everyone knew very well that she was the futuredy boss of the Tianyue Group. Although they had heard from Mini that the future Mrs President wanted to help her make clothes, they felt that it was just a casual remark. This girl was so naive. Who would have thought that it was actually true!! The junior supervisors and secretaries of the various departments shed tears of envy. Not to mention that it¡¯s a piece of clothing made personally by the future Mrs President, even if they wanted to buy it in the shop, they couldn¡¯t!!! Song Qin, who had just finished sorting out the documents, opened WeChat and cried¡­ She was so familiar with Madam, but Madam had never helped her make clothes before. She actually made clothes for Mini that she had only seen once¡­ The human world was not worth her love¡­ Wuwuwu. Lin Qingqian walked out of the elevator and saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s office from afar. The blinds weren¡¯t closed, so she could see the scene in the office. Jiang Yanshen was dressed in a ck orthodox suit and was sitting upright. Lu Yuan handed him thepleted documents to sign. Two executives stood at his desk and reported their work verbally. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite face was expressionless. He was multitasking and was still precise and efficient. He had an indescribable charm. Lin Qingqian slowed down her footsteps, not wanting to disturb him. Looking at his exquisite facial features through the clean ss, the admiration in her heart overflowed bit by bit. When he worked, he looked especially serious and charming. In the past, every time he worked at home, he would carry his textbooks to the sofa in the study to read. If she disturbed him, Jiang Yanshen usually wouldn¡¯t care about her. But every time he started reading, her attention couldn¡¯t help but be on him. She watched him work in a daze. It had been seven years. Who would have thought that in the end, she still liked to see him at work? She even had the illusion that Jiang Yanshen had always liked her. Otherwise, with his personality, even if Grandma instructed him, he wouldn¡¯t tolerate her following him all the time. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have sensed something. His hand that was holding the fountain pen paused and he looked up outside the office¡­ When his deep and calm eyes met her bright eyes, the cier instantly melted, like a spring breeze brushing across theke, stirring up ripples. Lu Yuan followed his gaze and immediately said tactfully, ¡°Director Jiang, there¡¯s no hurry for the remaining documents. You can sign themter.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at the person at the door without blinking. He nodded and said, ¡°Dismissed.¡± The two executives looked at each other. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw Lu Yuan walking out with the documents in his arms. The two of them hurriedly followed him out as well. When they turned around, they saw Lu Yuan calling out respectfully to the woman at the door, ¡°Miss Lin.¡± They immediately understood. The future Mrs President was here. No wonder Director Jiang was so easy to talk to today!! After everyone left, only the two of them were left. Lin Qingqian still stood at the door and didn¡¯te in, her bright eyes staring at him. Jiang Yanshen sat on the chair and looked at her for a moment. Finally, he stood up and walked towards her. When Lin Qingqian saw him walking towards her, her suspended heart fell to the ground¡­ Jiang Yanshen walked in front of her. His eyes were gentle as he said in a low voice, ¡°Must I get up to wee you?¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up uncontrobly. She was still pretending to be obedient after receiving a benefit. ¡°I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll be angry.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand and pulled her to the sofa. ¡°How can someone with a criminal record have the right to be angry?¡± The way he turned to look at her was filled with love. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curled up crazily. After sitting on the sofa with him, her slender arms wrapped around his waist and she buried her head in his arms. Her empty embrace was instantly filled. Jiang Yanshen was stunned by her initiative and lowered his head to ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His voice subconsciously became gentle. Lin Qingqian shook her head and said in a muffled voice in his arms, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just thought of some things from the past.¡± Jiang Yanshen thought that she was thinking about something unhappy in the past and kissed her hair. ¡°Qianqian, I don¡¯t have any experience in this area. I didn¡¯t do well in the past. Now, I¡¯m already learning and changing¡­ Lin Qingqian knew that he had misunderstood and looked up at him with bright eyes. ¡°I¡¯m thinking that every time you worked in the study in the past, I would take a book over to read. You always mocked me and asked if I¡¯m looking at you or reading the book.¡± Jiang Yanshen also remembered those things and pinched her little face with his fingertips. ¡°I was just afraid that you wouldn¡¯t study hard and fail the exams.¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°I won¡¯t fail. I get schrships every year.¡± There was a hint of pride in her light voice. Jiang Yanshen looked at her bright and moving face. His throat moved a few times, and his eyes gradually heated up. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart raced from his gaze. The atmosphere inexplicably became ambiguous. When Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and was about to kiss her lips, a group of people appeared out of nowhere at the door and fell in like a human pyramid. Lin Qingqian reacted and immediately stood up, pulling away from Jiang Yanshen. Her delicate features were forced to remain calm. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face darkened visibly. The group of people hurriedly stood up and tidied their clothes, revealing embarrassed smiles. ¡°D-Director Jiang¡­¡± When their gazesnded on Lin Qingqian, they all turned into little fangirls and said in unison, ¡°Hello, Mrs President.¡± Their imposing manner frightened Lin Qingqian. For a moment, she looked a little embarrassed and looked at the man sitting on the sofa. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s unhappiness was appeased by their words of ¡®Mrs President¡± , and his expression became better. However, he had no intention of helping Lin Qingqian out of the predicament. He looked at her calmly. Lin Qingqian could only rely on herself. After calming herself down, she said calmly, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Lin Qingqian.¡± ¡°Madam, your clothes are really difficult to buy! Can you open a back door for me?¡± Someone suddenly said. Lin Qingqian: ¡°There¡¯s not enough supplies recently. Why don¡¯t we do this?¡± Lin Qingqian said in a gentle voice, ¡°Report the style and size of the clothes you like to Song Qin and ask her to give the data to Su Ying. When the factory is less busy, I¡¯ll get someone to send it over.¡± Everyone was ttered and said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, Madam¡­¡± ¡°Madam, you¡¯re too nice.¡± ¡°Madam, you¡¯re kind and beautiful. I¡¯ve decided to be your number one fan in the future. I love you!¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and turned to look at the woman who spoke, his gaze as cold as a knife¡­ When everyone received the Director¡¯s warning gaze, they immediately reacted. ¡°We¡¯ll go out first. We won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± With that, they ran away and even considerately closed the door for them. The office instantly fell silent again. Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yanshen and said, ¡°Yourpany¡¯s employees are quite interesting.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to hold her wrist and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her. ¡°Why did you run just now?¡± His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. Her action seemed as though he was very repulsive. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°If your subordinates see you, will you still have any dignity in thepany in the future?¡± ¡°You¡¯re quibbling!¡± He lowered his head and continued kissing. She was clearly afraid that others would see them being intimate. Half an hourter, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but push him away. Her face was red as she said, ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Her soft voicended in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ears and his heart softened. He lowered his head and touched her lips again, as if he had not kissed her enough. ¡°What do you want to eat for dinner?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice was extremely hoarse. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to Begonia Courtyard to eat.¡± She had been too tired recently and didn¡¯t have the energy to cook at all. The auntie from Begonia Courtyard¡¯s cooking suited her taste. ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen ced her on the sofa. He stood up and walked to his desk to pick up his phone to make a call to ask the auntie to prepare dinner. Lin Qingqian tidied up her clothes. After he finished the call, the two of them walked out of the office with their fingers intertwined. Begonia Courtyard. When the auntie received the call, she started preparing. When they arrived home, the food was almost ready. Jiang Yanshen took off his coat, and Lin Qingqian naturally took it and hung it on the clothes rack at the side. Jiang Yanshen looked at her slender body, his eyes gentle and deep. Lin Qingqian sensed that he was looking at her and turned her head. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that this was not the right time, but he still couldn¡¯t hold it in. He said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m thinking if we should let them legally call you Mrs President.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly, and the smile on her face faded a little. ¡°It¡¯s just a form of address. If you think it¡¯s not suitable, tell them not to call me that next time.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. He knew that she said this on purpose and stopped mentioning it. Perhaps it was because of this, the atmosphere at dinner was a little strange. The auntie served the food and returned to the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t speak and ate quietly. He served her food as usual. Before they could finish eating, Lu Yuan rushed in with a serious expression. ¡°Director Jiang, something happened.¡± Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time and looked at him. Lu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything immediately. Instead, he nced at Lin Qingqian. Seeing that Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t object, he said, ¡°Your bipr disorder has been exposed online.¡± For a moment, the temperature in the dining room dropped rapidly, as if it had already fallen below zero. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Yanshen. She saw that his jaw was tense and he pursed his lips without saying a word. ¡°Not only are there medical records personally written by Doctor Shen on the Inte, but there¡¯s also a video of you when your illness acted up in the Jiang family and a photo of you entering and leaving the clinic!¡± Lu Yuan said in a heavy voice. This also meant that it was toote to clear up the public opinion. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder had been exposed!! Before Jiang Yanshen could speak, Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and tried her best to say in a very calm voice, ¡°Then about Jiang Xiao Jiu¡­¡¯ Chapter 252 - 252: Untitled Chapter 252: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Compared to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder, the news of his split personality was even more explosive. Lu Yuan shook his head. ¡°This matter hasn¡¯t been exposed for the time being, but I don¡¯t Imow if the other party already knows.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly, her mind quickly calcting the cause and effect of this matter. Jiang Yanshen, who had been silent all along, let go of his tightly pursed lips and said in a tense voice, ¡°Did you find out who did it?¡± ¡°I called Doctor Shen and asked. She said that there might be a problem with her assistant.¡± Lu Yuan replied, ¡°It will take some time to find out who bribed her assistant.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and looked at Lin Qingqian with his deep eyes. ¡°Stay in Begonia Courtyard tonight. Don¡¯t wait for me. Rest early.¡± Since the matter had happened, he had to resolve it. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Go quickly.¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up, took the coat from Lu Yuan, and put it on. He bent down and kissed her forehead. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, okay?¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up as she hummed faintly. This matter had clearly happened to him, but he wasforting her instead. Jiang Yanshen and Lu Yuan quickly left. Lin Qingqian had no appetite either. She asked the auntie to clear the food and went upstairs to take a shower. When she opened her cell phone, she saw the news about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder. The Tianyue Group¡¯s public rtions department had already removed the trending topics in time, but they couldn¡¯t withstand the gossip of theizens. Lin Qingqian had a faint premonition that the revtion of his bipr disorder was just the beginning. This matter would not end so easily¡­ The other party must have another motive. She called Vin. ¡°Vin, you have a lot of connections in the industry. Please help me investigate something.¡± After hanging up, she was still worried. She took out a small ck dress from the closet and changed into it. She called Chen Mu to pick her up. At the psychiatric clinic. At this moment, everyone in the entire building had gotten off work. Only Shen Zhiwei¡¯s ottice lights were still on. Jiang Yanshen sat at Shen Zhiwei¡¯s usual seat. His gazended on the young woman standing in front of him. His gaze was as cold as a de, slicing her inch by inch. Shen Zhiwei stood at the side. Her exquisite face was covered in frost, and her smoky eyes were cold like metal. ¡°Assistant Lin, I¡¯ve always treated you well. Why are you doing this?¡± The girl called Assistant Lin¡¯s face was pale and she was trembling in fear. ¡°Who asked you to do this?¡± Lu Yuan questioned expressionlessly with a cold face. Assistant Lin¡¯s hands moved uneasily in front of her. She pursed her lips tightly and refused to speak. Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his sharp eagle eyes. He didn¡¯t say a word and was not in a hurry. He would find out when he needed to. Lu Yuan lost his patience first. ¡°Do you think we won¡¯t be able to find out if you don¡¯t speak?¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, your mother should be waiting in the hospital for a heart transnt¡­¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with my mother.¡± When Assistant Lin heard him mention her mother, she couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. ¡°I did everything. No one forced me. It¡¯s up to you to kill or torture me.¡± She was clearly terrified, and her eyes were wet, but her expression was abnormally firm. Lu Yuan didn¡¯t say anything and looked at the man on the chair. Jiang Yanshen stood up and buttoned his suit. There was no warmth in his cold ¡°Notify the hospital to let her mother leave.¡± ¡°No!¡± Assistant Lin looked at his moving figure and begged in panic, ¡°Director Jiang, it¡¯s all my fault. If you have anything,e at me. Don¡¯t touch my mother¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen pretended not to hear and walked towards the office door¡­ Assistant Lin shouted in despair, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you¡­ I¡¯ll tell you everything¡­¡± Chapter 253 - 253: My Ah Yan Will Definitely Live to a Hundred Years Old Chapter 253: My Ah Yan Will Definitely Live to a Hundred Years Old Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The night was dark, and the neat rows of streetmps emitted a faint light. Moths surrounded the area, casting fine ck dots on the ground. The car stopped outside the Jiang residence. Jiang Yanshen alighted and looked up to see Lin Qingqian, who had just alighted. Her ck dress entuated her fair skin, and her long hair draped over her shoulders, revealing her cold side profile. When Lin Qingqian saw him, her bright eyes were clearly stunned. ¡°Ah Yan.¡± Jiang Yanshen walked in front of her and said in a low voice, ¡®Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t hide it from him and exined softly, ¡°I¡¯ve asked Vin to investigate. The person who released the post online was bribed by someone with the surname Li.¡± The meaning of these words was already very obvious. Lin Qingqian nced at Lu Yuan behind him and instantly understood. ¡°It¡¯s really nerf¡± Initially, she didn¡¯t believe it, so she wanted to ask Madam Jiang. She didn¡¯t expect¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were calm and emotionless. His warm palm held her small hand. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s go in together.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and followed him into the house. The servants were also very surprised to see him return. On the other hand, Madam Jiang, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at her new crystal nails leisurely,pletely unaware of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark expression. When Lin Qingqian saw that she was still in the mood to do her nails, anger surged in her heart and she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Madam Jiang, why are you doing this?¡± Li Gun¡¯s hand paused. She raised her eyelids and nced at her coldly, her eyes filled with disdain. Lin Qingqian¡¯s anger deepened. When she wanted to go forward, she was stopped by Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen held her fingers tightly and lowered his chin to shake his head. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and finally suppressed the anger in her heart. She pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. Jiang Yanshen looked at the woman on the sofa with his dark eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger. ¡°Looks like it¡¯s really difficult for you to behave yourself.¡± Li Gun looked at the son she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Her eyes were cold as she stood up and smiled disdainfully. ¡°Yes, I bribed that assistant. I also took the video in the past. I want the entire world to see the true colors of a demon like you. ¡± Her eyes and words didn¡¯t hide her deep disgust for Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t understand how a mother like Li Gun could exist in the world! She was not even worthy of being called ¡°Mother¡±. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t lose control as she had expected. The expression on his deep and exquisite facial features didn¡¯t change at all. ¡°Do you think that just because Jiang Chongjing is back, you have a backer?¡± His thin lips curled up slightly, and his tone was mocking. Li Gun¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand!¡± ¡°Li Dashun can¡¯t satisfy you anymore? Do you think Jiang Chongjing can satisfy you?¡± Jiang Yanshen spoke again, no longer caring if others heard him. Li Gun¡¯s old face immediately turned red as she scolded angrily, ¡°Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about!¡± She flew into a rage out of humiliation and reached out to p him. Before her fingertips could touch his face, they were intercepted. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have touched something dirty and flung her hand away fiercely. His voice was cold. ¡°You¡¯re already so disgusting that I feel nauseous.¡± Li Gun didn¡¯t stand firmly and fell to the ground. Her knee was hurt, and bright red blood seeped out. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re a bastard!¡± Li Gun was agitated by him and cursed, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have given birth to you back then. I should have strangled you to death at birth¡­ Your father is already dead, so why aren¡¯t you dead? You¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, a pnded on her cheek. This p was from Lin Qingqian because she really couldn¡¯t stand Li Gun¡¯s crazy words. Jiang Yanshen was stunned, and so were Lu Yuan and the other servants. Clearly, they did not expect Lin Qingqian to be even more agitated than Director Jiang. ¡°Jiang Yanshen is not a bastard child. His greatest misfortune is that he was born by you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s retracted handnded by her side, her fingers clenched into firsts. Although there was no anger on her delicate and elegant facial features, one could tell from her tone that she was angry. She was very angry. ¡°In the future, if I hear you call him a bastard or curse him again, I¡¯ll beat him up every time you say it! And¡ª¡± Her voice paused, and she took a deep breath. Her voice sounded slowly and word by word. ¡°My Ah Yan will definitely live to a hundred years old.¡± With that, she pulled Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand and turned to leave. Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he hurriedly followed and thought to himself, ¡°Oh my god, Madam is also very scary when she¡¯s angry.¡± Jiang Yanshen was pulled out by her. Under the moonlight, he looked at her delicate side profile, and the light in his eyes gradually softened. Walking to the car, Lin Qingqian let go and looked up at him. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to her nonsense. You¡¯re very good. Extremely good.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His thin lips curled up slightly as he nodded gently. Seeing him smile, Lin Qingqian frowned. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± How could he still smile at a time like this? ¡°I¡¯mughing at your stupidity,¡± he said gently. Lin Qingqian She was almost angered to death by Li Gun, but he wasughing at her for being stupid? ¡°I made you so sad in the past, but you still said that I¡¯m good.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her deeply. ¡°Aren¡¯t you stupid?¡± ¡°I was sad only because of love. It has nothing to do with whether you¡¯re good or not.¡± Lin Qingqian retorted and said seriously, ¡°In the past, I felt that you didn¡¯t treat me well. Butter on, I figured it out. It¡¯s not your fault that you don¡¯t love me. Just because you don¡¯t love me doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯re not a good person. I can¡¯t ask you to like me just because I like you¡­ Oh!¡± A sudden gentleness appeared on her lips, making her swallow the words that were about toe out of her mouth. Her eyes widened under her thin eyshes. She looked at the handsome face that was magnified in front of her and blinked. Under the moonlight, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes burned as he looked at her. His lips parted slightly. ¡°Qianqian, I love you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused, and she felt the blood in her body freeze. Then, it surged like a shocking wave and couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time. Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her hand, his low and hoarse voice echoing in her ears. ¡°I didn¡¯t understand it in the past, but I understand now. In the future, your love will always be reciprocated. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart seemed to have been pinched by something. It was sore, soft, and numb. She pursed her lips and nodded. Her arms wrapped around his firm waist, so tightly that there was no gap. Jiang Yanshen hugged her and lowered his head to nt a gentle kiss on her hair. Lu Yuan hid under a streetmp not far away and silently looked up to admire the moon tonight¡ªit was so big and round. After hugging her for a while, Jiang Yanshen let go of her. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and bent down to get into the car first. Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at the figure not far away. ¡°Lu Yuan.¡± Lu Yuan reacted and immediately went forward. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± ¡°Lock down the Jiang residence. No one is allowed to enter or leave, understand?¡± When he saw the gorgeous and ancient Jiang residence, his voice was cold. Lu Yuan nodded. ¡°I understand.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything else. He bent down and got into the car, instructing the chauffeur to go to Begonia Courtyard. Along the way, the two of them didn¡¯t speak. Lin Qingqian held his hand tightly, as if she wasforting him silently. It was already past 11 pm when they returned to Begonia Courtyard. Jiang Yanshen let Lin Qingqian take a shower first while he went to the bathroom in the guest room. When he returned to his room, Lin Qingqian was already sitting on the sofa drying her hair. Perhaps she was too engrossed in her thoughts and didn¡¯t notice his approach until the hairdryer was taken away. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked up at him¡­ Jiang Yanshen held the hairdryer in one hand and shuttled his other hand through her soft hair. His fingertips touched her scalp as gently as the wind blowing. Her hair was heavy and soft. It took him almost half an hour to dry it. Jiang Yanshen put down the hairdryer. Lin Qingqian looked up and was about to thank him when her lips were sealed. Jiang Yanshen bent down and picked her up. As he kissed her, he walked towards the big bed¡­ At one in the morning, Lin Qingqian had already fallen asleep. Jiang Yanshen looked down at her bare face, his dark eyes clear and not sleepy at all. His long arms carefully pulled out from under her neck and stuffed the pillow under her head again. He got out of bed quietly, picked up his pajamas from the ground, and put them on before walking out of the room. Downstairs, Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici were sitting on the sofa. When Shen Zhiwei heard footsteps, she immediately stood up and looked at him. Her good-looking features were filled with apologies. ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m sorry. It was my mistake this time¡­¡± As a psychiatrist, she had the responsibility and obligation to protect the patient¡¯s privacy, but he was careless enough to let her assistant steal her case files. If Jiang Yanshen pursued this matter, even if her career was saved, it would leave a huge stain. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s straight features didn¡¯t have any expression on them. His long legs walked over unhurriedly and he sat down. Gu Xici nced at the woman¡¯s side profile from the corner of his eye. Her neck was beautiful and her skin was very fair. It was so thin that it looked like it would break with a snap. It was very easy to arouse a man¡¯s desire to protect her. ¡°Ah Yan, the most important thing now is how to resolve public opinion.¡± Shen Zhiwei couldn¡¯t help but look at the man who spoke. Her heart couldn¡¯t help but skip a few beats. Was he deliberately changing the topic to help her? No, he should be worried about Director Jiang¡­ Jiang Yanshen looked up at him. ¡°How do you think the public opinion should be resolved?¡± Gu Xici fell silent. Lu Qinshang scratched his head. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just bipr disorder? What¡¯s the big deal? Who doesn¡¯t have some mental illness these days? If they like to talk, let them talk for a few days. The public attention will pass soon. Why don¡¯t I find some dirt from the entertainment industry to release to divert the spotlight on this matter?¡± Gu Xici nced at him and resisted the urge to kick him. ¡°Do you think Ah Yan is a celebrity in the entertainment industry? Now, Jiang Chongjing and Madam Jiang are working together to deal with him!¡± Bipr disorder was just the beginning. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but curse. ¡°Madam Jiang is really something! ¡± After cursing, he met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze and felt conflicted. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that. It¡¯s just¡ª¡± He paused, not knowing what to say. That was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s biological mother! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved, and his tone was low and cold. ¡°All of you can go back.¡± Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang looked at each other and stood up to leave. Just as Shen Zhiwei was about to turn around, a deep and cold voice came from behind¡ª ¡°Doctor Shen, stay..¡± Chapter 254 - 254: Jiang Yanshen, That Dog Of A Man, Caused You To Suffer A Miscarriage? Chapter 254: Jiang Yanshen, That Dog Of A Man, Caused You To Suffer A Miscarriage? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Shen Zhiwei¡¯s heart turned cold. It¡¯s over. He¡¯s going to settle scores with me. Her usual calm expression was about to copse. She turned to look at the emperor-like Jiang Yanshen on the sofa. When Gu Xici heard that she was left behind, he subconsciously stopped and turned around, his dark eyes filled with worry. After taking a few steps, Lu Qinshang realized that he was not following. He turned around and urged, ¡°Ah Ci, leave. What are you waiting for?¡± Gu Xici came back to his senses and followed him out of the vi expressionlessly. Lu Qinshang opened the car door and stood there. ¡°Do you want me to give you a ride?¡± ¡°No need. Go back first,¡± Gu Xici said with a frown. Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. ¡°Do you have other matters here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to have a smoke,¡± Gu Xici said as he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket. The pressure of being a criminal investigator was huge. It was to a point where cigarettes were almost inseparable from him. Lu Qinshang was insensitive and said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you¡­¡± Gu Xici lit his cigarette and took a deep puff. ¡°Get lost quickly¡­¡± There were only three words, but they were filled with anger and impatience. Lu Qinshang teased, ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know that you¡¯re waiting for that girl with the surname Shen! This time, she offended Ah Yan and will definitely die a tragic death. You should hurry up and buy her a coffin.. Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xici looked up at him through the smoke. Lu Qinshang was so frightened that he quickly got into the car and fled. Gu Xici¡¯s lips curved very low. He turned his head and his dark gazended at the entrance of the vi¡­ Her rationality told her that Ah Yan would not do anything to her, but she seemed to be possessed and just stood there dully and wait. There was only Jiang Yanshen and Shen Zhiwei in the huge living room. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Although Shen Zhiwei had been his psychiatrist for a few years, she didn¡¯t know much about him. Just like at this moment, she couldn¡¯t guess why Jiang Yanshen had left her behind. Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment before his tightly pursed thin lips finally moved. His voice was cold. ¡°Destroy all my information.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes shed with warning. ¡°Do you think I can trust you to protect my privacy?¡± Shen Zhiwei was powerless to refute. ¡°Other than you and me, I don¡¯t want a third person to see my case files.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sharp eyes stared at her with pressure. ¡°Don¡¯t leave any records in the future.¡± Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath and said calmly, ¡°I understand, but Director Jiang¡­ you should also understand that some things happen even if they¡¯re not written in ck and white. You can¡¯t pretend that they don¡¯t exist.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were dark, and he pursed his thin lips tightly without saying anything. Shen Zhiwei hesitated for a moment and said in a calm voice, ¡°Director Jiang, don¡¯t worry. This won¡¯t happen again.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything and stood up to walk upstairs. Seeing that he had no intention of holding her ountable, Shen Zhiwei¡¯s suspended heart finally rxed. She was clearly relieved. She turned around and walked out of the vi. Just as she unlocked the car door, she suddenly saw a man leaning against the car. Her heart skipped a beat. She calmed herself down and walked over to maintain her image as a psychiatrist. She said calmly, ¡°Mr. Gu.¡± Gu Xici nodded and his gaze quickly swept across her body. His frustration was finally relieved. ¡°Can I hitch a ride with you?¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned. She looked calm on the surface, but her heart was pounding. Wasn¡¯t happinessing too quickly? He wanted to take her car? There was nothing in the car that was inappropriate, right? Seeing that she was silent, Gu Xici¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°If it¡¯s not convenient¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s convenient,¡± Shen Zhiwei replied quickly, wailing in her heart. Mama, what am I doing? I almost missed the chance to be alone with him. Gu Xici¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Thank you.¡± He turned around and walked to the front passenger seat. Shen Zhiwei watched him get into the car. Her smokey eyes couldn¡¯t help but reveal joy, and her hands clenched into small fists by her side as she swayed excitedly. Ten secondster, she quickly put it down and opened the car door in all seriousness. She got in and started the engine. Gu Xici told her the name of his apartment. Shen Zhiwei pretended and said, ¡°I¡¯ll turn on the GPS.¡± Gu Xici said, ¡°No need. I¡¯ll guide you.¡± Shen Zhiwei nced at him and quickly looked ahead of her. She wanted nothing else but this human navigation system. This way, she could listen to his voice a few more times. Gu Zhishen sat upright and looked straight ahead. From time to time, he would remind her where to turn. When Shen Zhiwei heard his voice and even smelled the faint smell of tobo on him, her heart rippled. She nced at him from the corner of her eye. He was wearing an ordinary dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His arms that revealed his muscles highlighted the majestic beauty of a man. She couldn¡¯t help but bite her red lips and think to herself, Oh my god! Even his arms are so beautiful. How good is his figure?! She was probably too engrossed in her thoughts to notice the traffic lights in front of her. Gu Xici reminded her, ¡°It¡¯s a red light.¡± Shen Zhiwei came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped on the brakes. Her body bumped forward¡­ Without thinking, Gu Xici stretched out his long arm to catch her. Shen Zhiwei bumped into his firm arm, and her face flushed red in the darkness. Gu Xici¡¯s throat tightened as he reacted and retracted his arm in time. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°Sorry.¡± The two of them spoke at the same time and were stunned. Shen Zhiwei was the first to react. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I was distracted.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s deep voice spread out in the car. ¡°You have to focus when driving. Otherwise, it¡¯s very dangerous.¡± ¡°Mm.¡± Shen Zhi nodded slightly. The light turned green. She let go of the brakes and continued driving. For the second half of the journey, the two of them didn¡¯t speak again until the car stopped outside his apartment. Gu Xici unbuckled his seatbelt and turned his head. ¡°Thank you for sending me back.¡± Shen Zhiwei: ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± ¡°Be careful on the road, ¡± Gu Xici said again. She replied, ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Xici alighted and turned to look at her before nodding slightly. Then, he turned around and walked into the dormitory building. Shen Zhiwei parked the car by the roadside and didn¡¯t drive away. She looked at the entrance of the dormitory through the rearview mirror. Her mind kept reying his voice and the scene of his hand shielding her¡­ At that moment, she felt like she had never been so nervous in her life! Damn it! This man was really f*cking sexy! She really couldn¡¯t control herself anymore¡­ Gu Xici stood at the elevator and waited for the elevator toe down. He recalled her distracted look. Was it because she was worried about Ah Yan? Should he not have let her send him back just now? Perhaps he should have sent her home instead? Would anything happen to her if she drove back like that? Thinking of this, he immediately called his friend from the Traffic Department. ¡°Help me take a look at the car that just drove away from the entrance of my dormitory. The license te is LA2015.¡± ¡°Yes, call me immediately if anything happens to this license te number.¡± After hanging up, the elevator arrived. He walked in and pressed the button for the top floor. The moment the elevator door slowly closed, he suddenly realized something very important! He didn¡¯t continue guiding her for the second half of the journey, and she didn¡¯t turn on the GPS. Then, how did she find the entrance of the dormitory? It was undeniable that Jiang Yanshen had bipr disorder, so he could only admit it. The public rtions department of the Tianyue Group had already issued a statement early in the morning admitting that Mr. Jiang Yanshen had been tortured by bipr disorder for many years. However, after seeking treatment with a psychiatrist, his current situation was stable and wouldn¡¯t attect the development of thepany. He would definitely not do anything illegal. However, this statement didn¡¯t help Jiang Yanshen turn the situation around because what Lin Qingqian was worried about still happened¡­ Not long after the statement was released, someone revealed that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder was not cured at all. They even pointed out that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s spouse couldn¡¯t withstand his violence and chose to dump him in public in an extreme manner. The informant even released a photo of a woman that¡¯d suffered domestic abuse. The woman¡¯s face was not shown. Only the side of her face and the scars on her body were revealed. She was covered in wounds and it was a shocking sight. Grandpa: No matter how rich Jiang Yanshen is, what¡¯s the use if he beats his wife? Back then, when the girl rejected the marriage, she still had to be scolded by you guys. Now, you know that she wanted to live! There were photos and statements. For a moment, everyone on the Inte was criticizing Jiang Yanshen and sympathizing with his ex-wife. There were even people who said that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ex had suffered several miscarriages because of his beatings¡­ The person who cried and shouted that she wanted to marry Jiang Yanshen back then was now thanking him for not marrying her. When such a report was released, the entire Inte was in an uproar. It was toote for Tianyue Group to delete thements, and their stock prices kept falling. When Lin Qingqian saw the report, her delicate face was filled with anger. These rumors were really getting more and more ridiculous. They said that Jiang Yanshen abused her and beat her until she had a miscarriage¡­ In the years of their marriage, they had only slept together a few times and she didn¡¯t even get pregnant. How could she have a miscarriage? When Luo Tianxue called, she asked, ¡°Qianqian, did that Dog of a man Jiang Yanshen beat you until you had a miscarriage?¡± Lin Qingqian was so angry that sheughed. ¡°What do you think?¡± Luo Tianxue thought for a moment and said, ¡°He¡¯s such a dog. Who knows?¡± ¡°No!¡± Lin Qingqian replied firmly. ¡°No, he never abused me. I didn¡¯t get pregnant, let alone have a miscarriage.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Luo Tianxue continued, ¡°But you¡¯ve been together for so long and you didn¡¯t get pregnant. Is that Dog of a man impotent?¡± Lin Qingqian was speechless again. ¡°Why don¡¯t you try?¡± Luo Tianxue almost spat out a mouthful of blood. ¡°Are you kidding me? I used to like his face, but I don¡¯t like it now. Moreover, he¡¯s your Dog of a man. Do I look like someone who would sleep with someone else¡¯s dog?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Fortunately, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t hear these words. Otherwise, he would have broken off rtions with Lu Dongcheng. ¡°Qianqian, I heard from my brother that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s second uncle is not a good person. His methods are evil and he¡¯s already determined to deal with Jiang Yanshen. You have to be careful,¡± Luo Tianxue reminded her kindly. Now, as long as they were rted to Jiang Yanshen, they would be in the center of the vortex. If they were not careful, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. Moreover, Lin Qingqian was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s woman. Lin Qingqian knew that she had good intentions and thanked her. After ending the call, she wanted to call Jiang Yanshen, but she was worried that she would disturb him.. After hesitating again and again, she called Song Qin¡ª Chapter 255 - 255: Director Jiang Was Arrested Chapter 255: Director Jiang Was Arrested Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Song Qin picked up her call from an unknown corner. Her voice was very soft, making it sound like an underground meeting. ¡°Hello, Miss Qingqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°How¡¯s the situation in Tianyue Group now?¡± ¡°Not good,¡± Song Qin said softly. ¡°Second Master Jiang and many higher-ups came to look for Director Jiang today. They¡¯re obviously looking for trouble with him.¡± Although Tianyue Group was the Jiang Family¡¯s business, to be able to reach its current position, it couldn¡¯t do without the support of many other shareholders. Now that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s matter had caused a storm in the city, causing the share price of Tianyue Group to fall and the shareholders to suffer heavy losses, they naturally had to look for Jiang Yanshen to take responsibility. Moreover, there was still Jiang Chongjing fanning the mes behind his back. If even Lin Qingqian could imagine his current situation, it must be difficult for him to move. ¡°I understand. Remember to inform me if there¡¯s anything new.¡± After Song Qin agreed, Lin Qingqian ended the call. Lin Qingqian sat for a while and checked her work schedule. She dialed the office line and asked Su Ying to move her work back. She wanted to go out. Jiang Yanshen had just sent the shareholders away. He leaned back in his chair, his cold brows unable to hide his fatigue. When Lin Qingqian walked in, he didn¡¯t notice her. Until she put her hand on his shoulder and asked with concern, ¡°Are you all right?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her, a trace of surprise shing across his ck eyes. He grabbed her fair hand. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I saw the news online.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m a little worried about you.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and let her sit on him. ¡°I said, don¡¯t worry. I can handle these things.¡± Although he said that, the current situation was really disadvantageous to him. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up her mind. ¡°Why don¡¯t I hold a press conference to help you rify?¡± No one¡¯s words could be more convincing than her testimony. Jiang Yanshen frowned and held her hand tightly. His voice was tense and firm. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± ¡°Qianqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen interrupted her and gently touched her dark hair with his other hand. He said in a low and mellow voice, ¡°I said that I can handle it. Moreover, your brand has just opened to the market. There shouldn¡¯t be any negative news at this time.¡± Now that he was already the public enemy of the entire Inte, if she got involved with him, it would affect her career. She had worked so hard for the divorce and to build her career. She had worked night after night to draw those design drafts. He had seen how much effort she had put into this brand. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn¡¯t say anything. She knew that she should not be emotional at this time, but¡ª At the thought that Li Gun and Jiang Chongjing had joined forces to deal with him and he was alone in the Jiang Family with no help, her heart ached like a needle was pricking it. Those people were all his blood rtives. Why did they force him to this point? ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re very smart and talented, but your heart is too soft.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was an elder teaching her. ¡°If you¡¯re just an ordinary person, being soft-hearted isn¡¯t a bad thing, but being soft-hearted in the business world is a big taboo. Do you understand?¡± The business world was like a battlefield with treacherous clouds. It was apetition of schemes and determination. If one was soft-hearted, they would lose everything. ¡°I understand,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. ¡°But could it be that even you can¡¯t do ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved as he said seriously, ¡°You have to learn to separate your feelings from your career. Didn¡¯t I teach you before?¡± Jiang Yanshen had taught Lin Qingqian these principles a long time ago, and she had always remembered them, but¡­ She understood the logic, but it was not so easy. ¡°If it¡¯s me that¡¯s in trouble, would you be able to distinguish so clearly?¡± Lin Qingqian asked him. There was something fleeting in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes. Then, he replied decisively, ¡°I can. Qianqian, this is a society where the strong prey on the weak. If you don¡¯t have your own rules of survival, you¡¯re destined to be reced.¡± Lin Qingqian had guessed that he would say this, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still felt a little disappointed. Perhaps this was the world of a man. In his world, the strong lived, and the weak died. Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. ¡°Are you unhappy? Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking of other ways to help you!¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her cheek. ¡°If you have the time, why don¡¯t you think about what kind of clothes to help me design?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head and looked at him, her face filled with confusion. ¡°I heard that you agreed to make the front desk girl a dress.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite face was a little unhappy. ¡°You haven¡¯t made a shirt for me all these years.¡± Was she supposed to drink this kind of vinegar? Lin Qingqian¡¯s in face was filled with helplessness. ¡°I make women¡¯s clothes.¡± She was not good at men¡¯s clothes. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°Does art distinguish between gender?¡± Lin Qingqian: There was no way to refute this. ¡°Help me make one, okay?¡± he coaxed softly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s nose was filled with the faint fragrance of ebony from his body. His low and hoarse voice was mixed with temptation. It was really difficult to refuse. ¡°I¡¯ll¡­ try. ¡± A smile appeared on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s good-looking lips. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Previously, he wanted to make their rtionship public, and Lin Qingqian wanted to keep a low profile. Now that Lin Qingqian wanted to make it public, he was unwilling. Lin Qingqian was very clear about his thoughts. Because she was clear, her heart ached even more when she saw him being seriously injured by those rumors on the Inte. Tianyue Group had cleared the rumors and issued a statement, but those statements were not even as good as toilet paper in the eyes of the public. All kinds of different kinds of revtions were released constantly. They had alreadypletely demonized Jiang Yanshen. In the end, there were even rumors that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder acted up and he¡¯d killed people. However, because he was rich and had status, and was very familiar with the people in the police station, he was fine. Rumors spread like wildfire. Other than making announcements time and time again, Tianyue Group didn¡¯t take any other substantial actions. There were even rumors in the outside world that Jiang Yanshen would soon be taken over and the second master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chongjing, would take over the Corporation. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t believe these rumors. Although she couldn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen these few days, he would send her a WeChat message every day. When he asked about her meals, he would also ask Song Qin to send her some small things. Song Qin didn¡¯t look like she was fine, but every time she asked about Jiang Yanshen, Song Qin didn¡¯t know anything. Such news usually subsided in a few days, but just as the poprity was about to decrease, another dramatic scene appeared. Li Gun appeared in front of the public. She was wearing a ck dress, revealing bruises on her arms. She took off her sunsses to reveal the bruises at the corners of her eyes and cried as sheined about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s crimes. For a moment, the public¡¯s resentment boiled. Theizens directly boycotted the Tianyue Group and Jiang Yanshen. Li Gun expressed that she would no longer protect Jiang Yanshen. She had already called the police to deal with him. She believed that thew was fair and that the doctor would definitely help her son turn over a new leaf. There were even video clips of the police going to Tianyue Group to take Jiang Yanshen away. When Lin Qingqian received the news, she was in a meeting. The pen in her hand fell to the ground and she stood up and walked out of the meeting room without a word. As she made the call, she asked Brother Chen to prepare the car. When she received news that Jiang Yanshen was really at the police station, she went straight to the police station. At the police station, Jiang Yanshen was locked up in the interrogation room with the chiefwyer of the Tianyue Group, Lawyer Zhang. Lin Qingqian¡¯s request to see Jiang Yanshen was rejected by the police, so she could only call Gu Xici. Gu Xici came very quickly. He exined the situation to the people in the police station and told Lin Qingqian. At the moment, Jiang Yanshen was still being questioned. At the moment, the police had the right to detain him, but they could meet him after the questioning ended. Lin Qingqian waited for 15 minutes before the door of the interrogation room opened. Jiang Yanshen walked out apanied by awyer. Jiang Yanshen was clearly stunned when he saw her gaze. He walked forward and said in a low voice, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m worried about you,¡± Lin Qingqian answered honestly. How could she not be worried when he was arrested by the police? Jiang Yanshen pursed his lips, seemingly smiling. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything, but she looked at him with unconceble worry. He always said that he was fine and she didn¡¯t have to worry, but now that things had developed to this point and the situation was getting worse, how could she not worry? Lawyer Zhang: ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ll go and settle the bail procedures. You can go back first.¡± If it were anyone else, they might not be able to be bailed out, but Jiang Yanshen¡¯s identity was special, so he could be bailed out. There were many reporters at the entrance of the police station. To avoid being photographed, Gu Xici led them through the back door of the police station. Gu Xici personally drove them back to Begonia Courtyard. Along the way, the three of them didn¡¯t speak. When they returned to the Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen wanted to take a shower and change his clothes. Seeing his tired expression, Lin Qingqian wanted him to rest for a while. Jiang Yanshen said that there was no need. He still had to return to thepanyter. Lin Qingqian could only heat up a cup of milk for him, wanting him to drink it morefortably. Jiang Yanshen changed his clothes and went downstairs. Lin Qingqian had also warmed up the milk and brought it to him. ¡°Go back to thepany after drinking the milk.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the warm cup and his thin lips curled up slightly. He reached out to hold her hand and looked at her as he drank, his eyes gentle and loving. Lin Qingqian looked at him with her bright eyes. There was a glint in her eyes as she smiled gently. Jiang Yanshen handed the cup to her after drinking the milk and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Lin Qingqian sent him to the door with the cup. Jiang Yanshen sat in the car and unbuttoned his suit. He lowered the car window to look at her and instructed the chauffeur to drive. The car window slowly rolled up, and he suddenly felt dizzy. Before he could react, he fell onto the seat. Gu Xici walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side. ¡°Are you sure you want to do this?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and met his gaze. ¡°Is there any reason why I can¡¯t do this?¡± Her voice was light, and her delicate face was unprecedentedly firm.. Chapter 256 - 256: There Will Always Be A Figure Called Lin Qingqian By His Side Chapter 256: There Will Always Be A Figure Called Lin Qingqian By His Side Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The press conference was held at thest minute. The venue was in Lin Qingqian¡¯spany hall. It was simple and convenient. Su Ying and Suisui didn¡¯t know what she wanted to do, but Han Liubai¡¯s gentle eyes were filled with worry as he watched her tidy her hair and clothes. The reporters were almost all here, and Lin Qingqian was about to appear. She had just taken a step when her wrist was grabbed. She looked down at her slender fingers and saw Han Liubai¡¯s slightly dark expression. ¡°Have you thought about the consequences for Shi Guang Studio and Air if you do this?¡± AIR was her independent brand name. It literally meant the air and sky. It meant that the development of this brand was as vast as the sky. Lin Qingqian was wearing a pair of red bean earrings today. When she turned around, the red bean was swaying gently, reflecting in her gentle and worried eyes. ¡°I know that as the person-in-charge of thepany, I should be responsible for thepany and all of you.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, her expression firm. ¡°But as Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ex-wife and his current girlfriend, I have the obligation to help him rify the rumors.¡± Han Liubai frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. ¡°You clearly broke up. Even if you reconciled, you didn¡¯t have to do this for him. Is it worth it?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s thick and curled eyshes trembled slightly, and her clear eyes flickered with fine light, like sunlight shining on theke. It was beautiful but dazzling. ¡°I know that as an adult, I should maintain some rationality in a rtionship. As a businessman, I should be more sober.¡± Her red lips curled up and she paused for a moment. When she spoke again, her voice was extremely firm. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to live in such a calctive manner. What¡¯s the difference between maintaining my rationality and being a rock in my rtionship? I don¡¯t want to be a businessman who only cares about benefits and not friendship.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s fingertips loosened slightly. He wanted to persuade her again, but his throat tightened and he couldn¡¯t say a word. Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand and pried open his fingers. Her voice was light and pleasant. ¡°Xiao Bai, believe me, I won¡¯t disappoint you guys.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s arm hung back by his side, deste as he watched her walk out. He watched as she charged forward for another man and stood up to face the rumors. ¡°Why?¡± He lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, ¡°What charm does that man of the Jiang Family have to make you so loyal?¡± There was a temporary stage in front of the hall with a microphone ced there. Lin Qingqian walked to the microphone and stood still. The reporters quickly took photos. Someone asked curiously, ¡°Miss Lin, may I ask why you suddenly held this news conference today?¡± Facing more than ten cameras, Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent, and her calm voice sounded unhurriedly. ¡°I called this press conference today to rify the problem regarding President Jiang Yanshen¡¯s domestic violence during this period of time.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment before pressing the shutters crazily. ¡°Miss Lin, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you know something that we don¡¯t?¡± ¡°Miss Lin, are you nning to cancel your cooperation with Tianyue Group because of the scandal of Director Jiang¡¯s domestic violence?¡± ¡°Miss Lin, how much do you know about the Jiang Family?¡± The reporters asked crazily, not giving Lin Qingqian a chance to speak at all. Suisui, who was standing at the side, looked at Su Ying, who was live-streaming on her phone, and said softly, ¡°What exactly does Qianqian want? Don¡¯t tell me she wants to help Jiang Yanshen rify things?¡± Su Ying looked confused and replied, ¡°I don¡¯t know either!¡± Lin Qingqian took off the fixed microphone and patted it twice to stop the endless stream of voices. The venue fell silent all of a sudden. Everyone¡¯s gazes were focused on her alone. This included theizens before the live-stream and¡­ Jiang Yanshen, who had woken up early. Jiang Yanshen sat on the bed and looked down at his cell phone. His deep eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. She actually¡­ stood up. ¡°Shi Guang Studio won¡¯t cancel the cooperation with Tianyue Group. In addition, I want to tell everyone solemnly that although Jiang Yanshen has bipr disorder, he definitely didn¡¯t do anything violent.¡± ¡°Miss Lin, why are you so sure? ¡°Miss Lin, are you so protective of Jiang Yanshen because of some unknown rtionship between the two of you?¡± ¡°Miss Lin, may I ask what your rtionship with Jiang Yanshen is?¡± ¡°Miss Lin¡­¡± Amidst the series of questions, Lin Qingqian replied without any hesitation or scruples, ¡°I¡¯m his ex-wife.¡± ¡°I¡¯m his ex-wife!¡± These simple words were like a thunderp that stunned everyone at the event location. No one expected this woman in front of them to be the ex-wife who publicly rejected the marriage at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s wedding and caused the Jiang family to lose face. ¡°This is my divorce certificate with Jiang Yanshen.¡± Lin Qingqian took out the divorce certificate that she had long prepared for everyone to see. At the time of the divorce, she had torn it up and thrown it into the trash can. This was Jiang Yanshen¡¯s. She had identally found it in his drawer and it came in handy today. Everyone¡¯s breathing stopped, and their hearts raced. F*ck, what explosive news is this!! Why didn¡¯t you give me an exclusive!! Seeing that none of them had any reaction, Lin Qingqian put down the divorce certificate and said clearly, ¡°In the three years that I maintained my marriage with Jiang Yanshen, he didn¡¯t use any violence on me, so the rumors on the Inte that he abused me and that I had a miscarriage are pure nonsense.¡± ¡°Miss Lin, if Director Jiang wasn¡¯t involved in the domestic violence, why did you get a divorce?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If not for domestic violence, why did you publicly reject the marriage at the wedding back then?¡± ¡°Miss Lin, you¡¯ve already divorced Director Jiang. Why did you choose to stand up at this time to help him rify? Is it because he promised you something?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were gentle, and her gaze became sharper when she looked at the reporter who asked the question. ¡°I divorced Jiang Yanshen only because our personalities were ipatible. Couples would often quarrel and get a divorce. Why can¡¯t Jiang Yanshen and I get a divorce?¡± ¡°But didn¡¯t you divorce him in such an ugly manner because there was something hidden?¡± ¡°The secret is that at that time, I was determined to get a divorce and Mr. Jiang wanted to retain the marriage. Under the circumstances that we had different opinions, I made a very immature decision.¡± When Lin Qingqian mentioned the divorce, she didn¡¯t pour out the bitterness of so many years. She even attributed the final reason for the divorce to herself. ¡°In the three years that I was married to Jiang Yanshen, we both had areas that we didn¡¯t do well in. After the divorce, we also reflected on the reasons for our failed marriage. Although the divorce was very public and ugly, it doesn¡¯t mean that we can¡¯t be friends anymore. Be it as Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ex-wife or friend, I should stand up at this time. Moreover, I¡¯m involved in the rumors, so I have to rify things for myself.¡± ¡°Then what¡¯s with the photos exposed online? Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°Is my face in the photos? Have you ever heard of anyone telling a story just from looking at a photo?¡± The reporter ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Even if you say that, it doesn¡¯t prove that the person in the photo isn¡¯t you.¡± A reporter continued to ask in disbelief. Lin Qingqian said in a neutral tone, ¡°Then what evidence do you have to prove that the person in the photo is definitely me?¡± The reporter: ¡°¡­¡± This was an unsolvable problem. They couldn¡¯t prove that the person in the photo was Lin Qingqian, and Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t prove that the person in the photo was not her. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her light tone slowly sounded. ¡°If I say that you can check the hospital¡¯s medical records, you will still say that Jiang Yanshen hired a private doctor for me, so let¡¯s skip this step. I¡¯ll tell the truth, and it¡¯s up to the public to believe me!¡± ¡°But you said that Director Jiang didn¡¯t abuse you. What do you say about Madam Jianging out to testify against Director Jiang?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for me to express my opinion on the Jiang Family¡¯s matter with my current identity. I only have one sentence¡­¡± Lin Qingqian faced the reporter¡¯s live-stream camera and said word by word, ¡°I, will, always, believe, in, Jiang, Yan, Shen.¡± ¡°Miss Lin, you mean that Director Jiang didn¡¯t abuse Madam Jiang? Then why did Madam Jiang say that?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I¡¯m sure the police and thew will clear the name of an innocent person.¡± ¡°Miss Lin, you said that Director Jiang didn¡¯t abuse you. Then did you already know that Director Jiang has bipr disorder? Is your divorce rted to this?¡± Compared to his bipr disorder, the media began to pay more attention to the gossip of their divorce. After all, the public liked to watch the melodramatic rtionship entanglements of wealthy families. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes fluttered and she pursed her lips slightly. Her voice changed slightly. ¡°I found out after the divorce.¡± The reporters became even more excited when they heard this and asked, ¡°If you had known from the beginning that he had this illness, would you still have married him? When you found out after the divorce, were you d that you had already divorced him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, and no. I didn¡¯t rejoice after I found out¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice gradually turned cold. Just as the reporters were about to ask more questions, she suddenly interrupted them. ¡°Everyone here, I hope you can understand one thing¡­ In an instant, the entire venue was silent. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on her alone. Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender fingers held the microphone tightly. Her red lips pursed slightly, and her voice was like willow catkins. Every word she said was filled with strength. ¡°Jiang Yanshen is sick, but he has seen a doctor and taken medicine for treatment. When he was tortured by his illness, he never hurt anyone. The only person he hurt was himself. As his ex-wife, I can tell everyone very responsibly that Jiang Yanshen is not a good husband in our marriage. He¡¯s stubborn, arrogant, and a workaholic. He always likes to arrange other people¡¯s lives. But, we can¡¯t deny that he¡¯s a good person! I hope you can stop using his illness to attack his character and nder him. Give him the most basic respect as a patient.¡± ¡°Also¡ªI¡® Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and smiled at the camera. She said firmly, ¡°The person that I dered to be in love with on Weibo is also Mr. Jiang Yanshen. You can attack me as much as you want. In addition¡­ I want to tell those dirty hands hidden in the darkness¡­ No matter how many dirty and despicable methods you have, feel free to use them. Because Jiang Yanshen will no longer be alone. There will always be a figure by his side called Lin Qingqian..¡± Chapter 257 - 257: Can’t Step On Her Heart Again and Again Chapter 257: Can¡¯t Step On Her Heart Again and Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Because Jiang Yanshen would no longer be alone. There would always be a figure by his side called Lin Qingqian. When the man holding the phone heard her words, he suddenlyughed. However, as he smiled, the corners of his eyes gradually turned red. Gu Xici stood at the door and looked at him. He said in a low voice, ¡°There¡¯s no one in this world who loves you more than Lin Qingqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s body clearly stiffened. He looked up at him with aplicated gaze. Gu Xici smirked. ¡°Ah Yan, I¡¯ve known you for so many years, but I¡¯ve never understood you. Perhaps none of us understand you. Perhaps you¡¯ve already disguised yourself perfectly and can fool everyone, but don¡¯t forget what I do. The world-weary and coldness in your eyes can¡¯t fool me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s breathing paused, but there was no change in his exquisite facial features. Only something was beating violently in his chest. ¡°No one has walked into your heart in so many years, right?¡± Gu Xici looked at him with a mocking smile. ¡°What family? What brothers? What love? You never cared at all, did you!¡± The deep voice was clear, and every word pierced his heart like a knife, rising and falling as it dripped with blood. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, you can ignore us, but only this woman¡­¡± ¡°This woman is the only person that you can¡¯t let down. You can¡¯t ruin her heart again and again!¡± ¡°Enough!¡± The man who had been silent finally couldn¡¯t help but speak. His jaw was so tense that it looked like a tightly strung string that was about to snap. Every word was squeezed out of his throat. ¡°Stop talking.¡± Seeing that his face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat, the corners of Gu Xici¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to say something but swallowed it in the end. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fingers were trembling, and his cell phone slid onto the carpet. He lowered his head and pinched his temples tightly. It was as if a knife was stirring in his head. It hurt so much that it felt like it was about to split. His shirt was drenched in sweat, and his breathing was rapid. His face was covered in sweat, and his temples were wet. He looked like he had been fished out of water. Seeing that there was something wrong with his expression, Gu Xici walked up to him. ¡°Ah Yan¡­ Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer and only lowered his head, panting heavily¡­ Gu Xici squatted down and grabbed his hand to pull it away. ¡°Ah Yan, you¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up. His exquisite facial features were covered in sweat, but his eyes were clear. Gu Xici was stunned. After saying what she wanted to say, Lin Qingqian put down the microphone and walked off the stage to her office. Her slender body and back were straight, delicate and brave. Suisui couldn¡¯t help but curse. ¡°Damn it! I¡¯m really going to die from her handsomeness!¡± Su Ying¡¯s phone was aimed at her back and she couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Sister Qingqian is really cool.¡± When the reporters dispersed, the Inte had alreadv exploded. Several keywords like #Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ex-wife# and #Lin Qingqian# were trending. Thements of theizens were almost prized. The anti-fans were scolding Lin Qingqian for being a b*tch. She had not been beaten up enough and actually came out to help her abusive man clear his name. She was a b*tch who deserved to be f*cked. Another portion of theizens believed Lin Qingqian and felt that she didn¡¯t seem to be lying. She had a career and lots of money now. If Jiang Yanshen really abused her, she could juste out and step on him. Why would shee out to help Jiang Yanshen rify things? The anti-fans immediately retorted that even Jiang Yanshen¡¯s biological mother couldn¡¯t help bute out and denounce him. ¡°You still believe his ex-wife¡¯s words? I hope you can all meet such a violent man.¡± For a moment, the online fans and anti-fans were in a mess, and Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t hesitate to post on Weibo to support Jiang Yanshen. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Ah Yan has never been involved in domestic violence, and he¡¯s definitely not that kind of person. Of course, if hitting me counts¡­ then I¡¯ll also use him of domestic violence! !!¡± Maple Leaves: ??? Big Brother, edit it again!! What do you mean by domestic violence?? What¡¯s your rtionship? Passerby: ??? Why is it that when this idiot tries to help others rify things, people can¡¯t help butugh!! Anti-fans: Helping a domestic abuser clear his name. Trash! Scum! Get lost! Maple Leaves: What do you mean by helping a domestic abuser clear his name? My brother was beaten up by his brother. What has it got to do with you anti-fans! Trash anti-fans should all die! Luo Tianxue also posted on Weibo: ¡°I believe in her and support her. She¡¯s the bravest and most worthy person in the world.¡± Although no names were mentioned in this Weibo post, everyone knew about her rtionship with Lin Qingqian. So when it was posted at this juncture, everyone naturally knew that she was referring to Lin Qingqian. Some fans were worried in thements: Daughter, don¡¯t be so stupid. What if you get pped in the face¡­ Luo Tianxue replied: ¡°There¡¯s absolute trust between friends. Moreover, I know the character of some people. Therefore, I¡¯m not afraid of being pped in the face.¡± With the support of Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang, their fans would naturally support their idols. The public opinion on the Inte finally changed. Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the situation changed, the rest would be easy. Su Ying knocked on the door. ¡°Sister Qingqian.¡± ¡°The reporters have all left?¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Yes. Sister Qingqian, you¡¯re also being scolded on the Inte now. Many people are returning their goods on the online store.¡± ¡°Prepare a refund for them.¡± There was no change in Lin Qingqian¡¯s elegant facial features. ¡°By the way, how¡¯s the marketing ount I asked you to buy previously?¡± ¡°At the moment, I have five marketing ounts with millions of fans. The influence is still very high,¡± Su Ying replied. ¡°I¡¯ll email it to youter. Use your marketing ount to send it at different times.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were gentle, and her voice was light and firm. ¡°I want Madam Jiang to have a taste of being exposed online.¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingqian sat in front of theputer and opened her email. She sent the documents that she had prepared long ago to Su Ying. After Su Ying received it, she used the marketing ounts and copied and pasted it in. It was automatically sent out at different times. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t stand the harshness of her evil mother-inw, so she proposed a divorce. Jiang Yanshen also had a conflict with his mother because he was unwilling to ept the mistress arranged by Madam Jiang. Regardless of whether it was true or not, once the news was released, ¡°naive¡±izens would believe it. Lin Qingqian bought some fake reviewers and led the momentum. The trend immediately shifted from Jiang Yanshen to Madam Jiang. Wasn¡¯t it just to see who could lead the trend better? Didn¡¯t they know that she yed ¡°Master of Rhythm¡± the best? Lin Qingqian asked Brother Chen to check Madam Jiang¡¯s medical records. Madam Jiang was such a vain person. Even if she wanted to frame Jiang Yanshen, it was impossible for her to injure herself. As long as it was not a real injury, it would be easy. At the Jiang residence. The people Jiang Yanshen had arranged previously had all been pulled out by Jiang Chongjing. Now that there was no one guarding the Jiang residence, Li Gun could naturally enter and leave in front of the media. Lin Qingqian got out of the car and walked into the Jiang residence in her high heels. When the servant saw her, she lowered her eyes and called out, ¡°Miss Lin.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s Madam Jiang?¡± she asked in a gentle tone. The servant looked up at her and replied, ¡°In the greenhouse.¡± Lin Qingqian went upstairs. On the second floor, there was an independent balcony that had been transformed into a greenhouse. This greenhouse was also the ce she had first seen Jiang Yanshen. Li Gun was wearing a light pink dress and a pure white shawl at home. She stood in the greenhouse and watered the flowers leisurely. Lin Qingqian stood at the entrance of the greenhouse and couldn¡¯t help but recall the first time she came to the Jiang family and saw Jiang Yanshen here. At that time, she was standing outside the greenhouse and Jiang Yanshen was standing in the greenhouse. The sunlight from the window shone through the ss window andnded on him, making him look like a god. His exquisite facial features were deep and strong. When his clean and clear eyes looked at her, his thin lips curled into a smile. It was so warm that it seemed to be able to melt a thousand years of snow. With just one look, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart was captured. After so many years, that feeling was still alive in her blood and soul, even if things had changed. Li Gun sensed that there was someone. She turned her head and saw Lin Qingqian, her eyes filled with strong disgust. ¡°Why is it you? Lin Qingqian came back to her senses from her memories and saw that Li Gun standing here seemed to be tainting that beautiful and precious memory. Her slender legs strode into the greenhouse, and her bright eyes were filled with a cold light. She said calmly, ¡°Why can¡¯t it be me?¡± Li Gun put down the watering can in her hand and adjusted her shawl. She snorted coldly. ¡°He doesn¡¯t even dare to show his face now? He wants a wild girl like you toe to me and beg me to let him off?¡± Lin Qingqian walked up to her and stood still. She was taller than Li Gun to begin with, let alone wearing high heels. She stood in front of Li Gun and looked down at her casually. ¡°You¡¯re really the most shameless person I¡¯ve ever seen.¡± Li Gun¡¯s expression darkened as she scolded, ¡°Who do you think you are to talk to me like this?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply. Her gazended on the bruises on her arms and the corners of her eyes. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Were these injuries really caused by Jiang Yanshen?¡± She reached out to touch the wound at the corner of her eye. Li Gun waved her hand warily to block her hand and said aggressively, ¡°What are you trying to do? This is the Jiang residence. It¡¯s not your ce to be impudent! ¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°You mean¡­¡± Before Li Gun could finish her sentence, she picked up the watering can and sprayed it on her face. ¡°Ah!¡± Li Gun immediately screamed. Her face was covered in water, and she instinctively wiped the water off her face. When her fingers reached the corner of her eyes, the bruises actually faded like ink on water, causing the area around her eyes to turn ck, like a panda eye. Lin Qingqian took in her sorry state and smiled. ¡°Looks like the quality of Madam Jiang¡¯s cosmetics isn¡¯t too good. They¡¯re not waterproof at all.¡± Li Gun held her breath and looked at her with dark eyes. ¡®You want to help Jiang Yanshen rify things? Let me tell you, dream on!¡± ¡°So what if you know that my injuries are fake? Go out and tell others. See how many people believe you!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly as she said in a low voice, ¡°He¡¯s your biological son.. Why must you ruin his reputation?¡± Chapter 258 - 258: Even if No One in the World Wants Him, I Want Him! Chapter 258: Even if No One in the World Wants Him, I Want Him! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Gun sneered. ¡°What I regret the most in my life is giving birth to him and letting him marry a lowly wild girl like you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s precisely because of you, a farmer from the countryside, that he won¡¯t marry Ru Zhu, and he won¡¯t listen to me! It¡¯s useless for me to keep a son who doesn¡¯t listen to me and is wholeheartedly on the old woman¡¯s side!¡± Every word in her dark voice was filled with resentment. ¡°So you want to destroy him!¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°Yes!¡± Li Gun replied without thinking. ¡°I¡¯d rather destroy him than let the two of you be together!¡± ¡°Lin sl*t, didn¡¯t you say that you love him? I want to see if you¡¯ll still want him when he¡¯s not the President of Tianyue Group!¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and chuckled. Li Gun frowned. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her. ¡°He won¡¯t lose everything. Even if he loses everything one day, and the entire world disdains him. I want him.¡± Li Gun sneered. ¡°You make it sound good now. When his reputation is ruined and he¡¯s chased out of Tianyue Group, let¡¯s see if you can still pretend to be so affectionate. ¡± ¡°I said that he won¡¯t lose everything.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s light voice was firm. Li Gun realized that something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her turn to look at the door. ¡°Brother Chen, did you take a clear shot?¡± At some point, Chen Mu was standing at the entrance of the greenhouse. Not only did the phone in his hand capture Li Gun¡¯s appearance, but it also recorded her words. ¡°You secretly filmed me!!¡± Only then did Li Gun realize that she had been tricked. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and her tone rose slightly. ¡°Madam Jiang, thank you for your cooperation. Also¡­ you¡¯re very photogenic like this.¡± With that, the watering can in her hand smashed at her feet. The stic watering can cracked open, scaring Li Gun. Lin Qingqian turned around and said to Chen Mu, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Li Gun was furious. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you b*tch! Ah. ¡± She was so angry that she went crazy and smashed all the flower pots on the flower rack. ¡°B*tch! B*tch! B*tch! I won¡¯t let you off!¡± With that, she gritted her teeth and strode into the room over the broken flower pot soil on the ground. She picked up her phone and dialed a number. Before the other party could speak, she said angrily, ¡°I don¡¯t care what method you use to kill that b*tch Lin Qingqian. I want her dead!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear this. If you can¡¯t kill her, I¡¯ll tell Wu Suyun and your good son what you did to me.¡± Lin Qingqian sat in the car and used Brother Chen¡¯s phone to send the video to Su Ying, asking her to edit it and post it online with a marketing ount. Brother Chen nced at the rearview mirror. ¡°Is Miss Lin going back to thepany?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at the window. They had already driven out of the Jiang residence. She blinked. ¡°To Begonia Courtyard.¡± Calcting the time, Jiang Yanshen should be awake soon. Halfway through the drive, Brother Chen sensed that something was wrong. ¡°Miss Lin, someone is following us.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at the ck van following behind. It was very close, as if it was about to ram into them at any time. ¡°Do you need me to resolve it?¡± Brother Chen asked. There was no fear on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face, but her fingers involuntarily tightened their grip on her clothes. She asked calmly, ¡°Are you confident?¡± Chen Mu: ¡°As long as they¡¯re not all retired soldiers, there¡¯s no problem.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t hesitate for too long. ¡°Do as you see fit.¡± Chen Mu understood what she meant and quickly got off the overpass. He drove the car to a ce with less traffic. Fifteen minutester, the car stopped by the roadside. There was greenery on both sides, and it was empty and quiet. Chen Mu unbuckled his seatbelt and handed the car keys to Lin Qingqian. ¡°Miss Lin, lock the window and don¡¯t get out of the car.¡± Lin Qingqian took the car keys and said when he got out of the car, ¡°Don¡¯t get injured, and don¡¯t kill anyone.¡± Chen Mu paused and said respectfully, ¡°Miss Lin, don¡¯t worry. I know my limits.¡± After getting out of the car and closing the door, Lin Qingqian locked the car window. She turned around and saw seven to eight people getting out of the car behind. They were all holding silver iron rods. It was obvious that they often came out to act like thugs. Chen Mu was alone¡­ A trace of worry surged in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. Thinking of Chen Mu¡¯s words, she turned her head away. Since Chen Mu had gotten out of the car, he must be confident that he could resolve it. She calmed herself down and stopped letting her imagination run wild. She took out her phone and opened Weibo to see the direction of the current public opinion. Su Ying¡¯s movements were very fast. The video was edited and posted online very quickly. The caption was that they hadn¡¯t received the hospital¡¯s consultation records, but they have received a secretly taken video from the servants of the Jianz residence. Those who were interested could take a look. Theizens who had watched the video all understood that the so-called domestic abuse was fake. It was because the mother-inw looked down on Lin Qingqian foring from the countryside¡­ Bunny, who gets fat from eating vegetables: F*ck! Director Jiang is so pitiful. How can he have such a bad-hearted mother!! I searched for him in my dreams a thousand times: This woman must not be his biological mother. Jiang Yanshen was adopted by her, right? Flowers: F*ck, how much do you look down on farmers!! Would you have any rice to eat without farmers? My shoulder-length hair: F*ck! There¡¯s actually such a trashy mother in this world. rgh! Emmm886: Damn it! With such a mother-inw, I¡¯ll get a divorce in minutes!! April Snowkes: Director Jiang is really unlucky to have such a mother. His good wife is gone. Lin Qingqian Is My Daughter: My daughter is the pitiful one. She met such an evil mother-inw. Trash! Damn it, I want to go under the bridge to beat up the viin!!! Shen Qian Goddess Bless Me: Let¡¯s go together! F*ck! She¡¯s so beautiful and talented. So what if she¡¯s from the countryside? She¡¯s very inspirational!!! For a moment, the entire Inte was attacking Li Gun and had already ignored Jiang Yanshen¡¯s illness. Lin Qingqian exited Weibo in peace and put down her phone, heaving a sigh of relief. There were some things that were inconvenient for Jiang Yanshen to do, so she would do it for him. Even if there were any other rumors in the future, everyone would only gossip about her rtionship with her mother-inw. No one would target Jiang Yanshen anymore, let alone scold him for being unfilial. Her cell phone vibrated. It was Gu Xici. Lin Qingqian¡¯s right eyelid couldn¡¯t help but twitch a few times. She had a bad feeling and didn¡¯t dare to hesitate as she answered the call¡ª ¡°Officer Gu, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Ah Yan¡¯s second uncle is here.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s low and tense voice came from the radio. Before Lin Qingqian could ask, she heard him say, ¡°Ah Yan¡­ is not around now.¡± The word ¡°not around¡± was used very cleverly. If Jiang Yanshen was not around, it meant that it was¡ªJiang Xiao Jiu. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened. No wonder Gu Xici¡¯s tone was so serious. If Jiang Chongjing discovered that Jiang Yanshen had personality dissociation, who knew how much trouble he would cause. ¡°Try your best to hold Jiang Chongjing back. I¡¯ll rush back immediately.¡± With that, Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at the rear mirror. Chen Mu was still fighting with the other party. Four people had already fallen, and there were still four more¡­ She couldn¡¯t wait. Lin Qingqian climbed into the driver¡¯s seat and buckled her seatbelt with one hand. She held her phone with the other and said, ¡°Give the phone to Xiao Jiu.¡± Gu Xici handed the phone to Jiang Xiao Jiu and went to stall for time. Lin Qingqian started the engine and curled her red lips. ¡°Hey, Xiao Jiu¡­¡± When she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was trembling. ¡°Big Sister, where are you?¡± When Lin Qingqian heard his childish voice, her heart tightened. ¡°Xiao Jiu, stay in the room and don¡¯t go anywhere. Be good. Big Sister will be here soon.¡± ¡°Oh! Big Sister, can you make me minced meat noodles?¡± ¡°Sure!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hands were sweating as she held the steering wheel. She looked in front of the road and her voice trembled slightlv. ¡°You have to be obedient and not go out, understand?¡± ¡°Got it, Big Sister. Xiao Jiu is very obedient! ¡± His tender voice seemed to have a hint of pride. Lin Qingqian: ¡°I know that Xiao Jiu is very obedient. Then can you do me a favor?¡± Lin Qingqian ended the call and threw her phone on the passenger seat. Without thinking about anything, she stepped on the elerator fully. Usually, she had a calm personality and never drove quickly. Safety was paramount, but today, she couldn¡¯t care less about anything. She didn¡¯t care about the speed limit or the red lights at all and sped all the way to Begonia Courtyard. She didn¡¯t even have time to grab her cell phone as she ran into the vi in her high heels. Jiang Chongjing and Gu Xici stood at the staircase and faced each other. The atmosphere was tense, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. Jiang Chongjing¡¯s expression was tense as he said, ¡°I¡¯m here to visit Yanshen. What exactly do you mean by stopping me from going up? Gu Xici blocked the stairs with his hands in his pockets. His strong facial features were cold and unmoving. ¡°I already said that Ah Yan is resting.¡± ¡°I just wanted to see him, not disturb him.¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s eyes revealed a probing look. Originally, he was here to distract Jiang Yanshen so that he had no time to care about Lin Qingqian. However, he didn¡¯t expect to be stopped from seeing him. He immediately felt that there was something fishy about this, so he insisted on seeing Jiang Yanshen to see what tricks they were ying. Before Gu Xici could speak, Jiang Chongjing heard a cold voice behind him. ¡°I ept Second Master Jiang¡¯s concern for Ah Yan on his behalf, but Ah Yan doesn¡¯t like to be disturbed during his rest. Please go back.¡± Jiang Chongjing turned around and saw Lin Qingqian walking over. Other than her slightly rapid breathing and a few beads of sweat on her forehead, there was nothing unusual about her. A trace of ruthlessness shed across his triangr eyes. ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯m here to see Yanshen. Outsiders don¡¯t have the right to speak here.¡± What he meant was that he was mocking Lin Qingqian for not being a member of the Jiang Family. She didn¡¯t even have the right to speak in front of him. Lin Qingqian walked to Gu Xici¡¯s side and stopped. She turned her head and met his dark eyes. Her voice was light. ¡°This is Begonia Courtyard, not the Jiang residence. I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen¡¯s girlfriend. Why don¡¯t I even have the right to speak?¡± The light in Jiang Chongjing¡¯s eyes became even colder. ¡°Miss Lin, I just want to see Yanshen. If you stop me like this, I¡¯ll suspect that you did something to Yanshen.¡¯ Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as she retorted, ¡°I should be the one saying this. ¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s eyes narrowed, and he was interrupted before he could finish speaking. ¡°What are you arguing about?¡± The three of them looked up at the same time and saw Jiang Yanshen standing at the staircase, his exquisite features covered in frost.. Chapter 259 - 259: I Thought He Was Ah Yan Just Now Chapter 259: I Thought He Was Ah Yan Just Now Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Jiang Chongjing saw him, his eyes flickered. ¡°Yanshen, so you haven¡¯t rested yet?¡± As they had yet to officially fall out, Jiang Chongjing could still shamelessly pretend that nothing had happened. Jiang Yanshen ced his hands in his pockets and looked down at him. The light in his ck eyes was as sharp as thin paper. His thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re disturbing my rest.¡± The smile on Jiang Chongjing¡¯s face froze, and he reacted in a few seconds. ¡°Aren¡¯t I just worried about you? Sister-inw is really too much. No matter what, we¡¯re still family. Why make things so ugly?¡± As he spoke, he sighed and said hypocritically, ¡°Yanshen, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll definitely persuade her when I get back.¡± ¡°Thank you, Second Uncle.¡± With that, Jiang Yanshen turned to leave. ¡°Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Chongjing called out to him. ¡°Look, thepany has suffered a lot because of you. Shouldn¡¯t you rest well and repair your rtionship with Sister-inw as soon as possible? How can mother and son have overnight grudges?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall and slender figure paused. He turned his head slightly to reveal half of his face and looked down at Jiang Chongjing from the corner of his eye, as if he was scanning an ant. A momentter, he squeezed out a word. ¡°Scram.¡± The smile on Jiang Chongjing¡¯s facepletely froze. Anger surged from the bottom of his heart, and the muscles on his face trembled. ¡®You¡­ He wanted to go upstairs, but he was stopped by Gu Xici the moment he took a step. Lin Qingqian stood behind Gu Xici, her eyes cold. ¡°Second Master Jiang, please go back.¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s dark eyes swept across the three of them. In the end, he snorted coldly and left. Lin Qingqian watched as Jiang Chongjing walked out and heaved a sigh of relief. Gu Xici said thankfully, ¡°Fortunately, Ah Yan is back.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the figure who had originally returned to his room upstairs ran up to Lin Qingqian. His exquisite facial features were filled with a bright smile. ¡°Big Sister, did I act well?¡± Gu Xici was stunned. Lin Qingqian let go of her sweaty hand and smiled. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very good.¡± ¡°Then do I have minced meat noodles to eat?¡± He hugged Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm and shook it. ¡°Big Sister, I¡¯m so hungry.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯ll go make it for you now. Go back to your room and wait for me.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu agreed immediately and turned to go upstairs. After taking a few steps, he turned around worriedly and said, ¡°Big Sister, hurry¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him and smiled faintly. ¡°Alright.¡± Only then did Jiang Xiao Jiu return to his room to wait in relief. Gu Xici came back to his senses and frowned. ¡°He¡¯s Jiang Xiao Jiu?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°On the way back, I was worried that you wouldn¡¯t be able to stop Jiang Chongjing, so I asked Xiao Jiu to pretend to be fiercer!¡± ¡°Fortunately, he acted quite well. Jiang Chongjing shouldn¡¯t be suspicious.¡± The light in Gu Xici¡¯s eyes was dark as he looked upstairs. His thin lips parted slightly. ¡°I thought he was Ah Yan just now. Lin Qingqian followed his gaze and looked over. There was only an empty staircase. ¡°After all, it¡¯s Ah Yan¡¯s split personality. There will more or less be Ah Yan¡¯s shadow on him.¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t reply. He narrowed his eyes and changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m going back. Can you do it alone?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. Ah Yan and I are brothers after all.¡± When he said the word ¡°brothers¡±, he couldn¡¯t help but look upstairs again. When Lin Qingqian sent him out, Chen Mu had just returned. Other than the blood and dust on his clothes, he was fine. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Gu Xici frowned and asked. ¡°When I came back, I met someone blocking me,¡± Lin Qingqian replied in a gentle voice. At this moment, she had already calmed down. Gu Xici¡¯s eyes darkened.. ¡°Jiang Chongjing did this?¡± Chapter 260 - 260: Lin Qjngqian, Let’s Break Up Chapter 260: Lin Qjngqian, Let¡¯s Break Up Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian replied calmly, ¡°It should be. He probably came over to stall Ah Yan.¡± Chen Mu: ¡°I damaged their car. They probably haven¡¯t left yet.¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll bring someone to wrap things up. Send the location to me.¡± Chen Mu nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Gu Xici left in a hurry. Lin Qingqian retracted her gaze and looked at Chen Mu. ¡°I had something urgent to attend to just now and didn¡¯t wait for you.¡± Chen Mu was expressionless. ¡°I understand. It¡¯s good that Miss Lin is fine.¡± He was a bodyguard, and his job responsibility was to protect her. Seeing that he was fine, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t feel any guilt. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you to guard the door and not let anyone in.¡± Chen Mu stood straight with his hands behind his back and said in a cold tone, ¡°Yes.¡± The auntie had been given a break by Gu Xici. She walked into the kitchen alone, opened the fridge, took out the ingredients, and began to make minced meat noodles. Half an hourter, she carried the tray upstairs. Jiang Xiao Jiu was sitting on the sofa with an iPad in his hand. When he heard the sound of the door, he immediately threw the iPad aside. ¡°Big Sister, can we eat now?¡± Lin Qingqian closed the door and met his clear and expectant eyes. The corners of her lips curved. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great!!¡± He pped and said in a childish voice, ¡°I was about to starve to death. ¡± Seeing Lin Qingqian put down the tray, he reached out to grab his chopsticks. ¡°Wait.¡± Lin Qingqian grabbed his hand and picked up the wet wipe she had prepared in advance to wipe his hands. Jiang Xiao Jiu waited impatiently. ¡°Big Sister, my hands aren¡¯t dirty.¡± ¡°You yed with the iPad just now, how can it not be dirty?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him. His cheeks slowly puffed up as he stretched out his hand for her to wipe them. His eyes drifted to the cartoon on the iPad. Lin Qingqian nced at the screen casually and realized that he was watching Tom and Jerry. ¡°You like to watch Tom and Jerry?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu nodded. ¡°The cat is so stupid. It can¡¯t catch the mouse every time.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and threw the wet wipes into the trash can. ¡°Alright, you can eat now.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu eagerly picked up the bowl. Lin Qingqian had already mixed it for him, so he could eat it directly. Lin Qingqian picked up the iPad and turned it off. The room fell silent. ¡°Big Sister¡­¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu saw that she had turned off the cartoon and immediately became a little anxious. Lin Qingqian ced the iPad aside and said gently, ¡°Eat well and watch after you¡¯re done.¡± He stuffed a mouthful of minced meat noodles into his mouth and let out a muffled ¡°oh¡±. There was sauce at the corner of his mouth. Lin Qingqian took a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth. In a short while, he finished arge bowl of minced meat noodles and even burped. ¡°Big Sister, can I watch the cartoon now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu immediately picked up the tablet and went to lie on the bed. Lin Qingqian was about to clean up the dishes when she heard him shout, ¡°Big Sister,e and watch with me.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before putting the things away on the te. She turned around and walked to the bed. She saw him lying on the bed, his long legs still swaying in the air. She could no longer associate him with Jiang Yanshen. If Jiang Yanshen knew that his other personality had done such a childish thing, he would probably have a mental breakdown. ¡°Big Sister, sleep with me.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu moved to the side. Lin Qingqian only sat down by the bed and pulled the nket away to cover him. ¡°Go to sleep. I still have something to do.¡± He nodded again, and his attention was quickly attracted by the cartoon. In less than 15 minutes, his originally round eyes slowly closed. His thick eyshes covered his eyes quietly, like a sleeping prince. Lin Qingqian turned off the iPad and ced it on the bedside table. She adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before getting up and leaving the room with the tray. The sky outside the window gradually darkened. The tired birds returned to the forest. The lights were just turned on, making the city change into neon pajamas. There was only one floormp illuminated in the room. Under the light, Lin Qingqian sat on the sofa, the sketch and pencil in her hand focused on drawing the new products for the next season. Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to see the woman on the sofa. Her slender body and long dark green hair were casually tied into a bun, revealing her beautiful neck. She was wearing a dark blue sleeping robe that entuated her snow-white skin. Her clear eyes under her curly eyshes were focused on the sketch and she didn¡¯t notice that he had woken up. There was a bedroom, amp, and two people. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her, his paint-like eyes staring at her without blinking. It was as if a wild beast was roaring in his chest. Perhaps because she had maintained this posture for too long, Lin Qingqian¡¯s neck felt a little sore. She moved her neck and her eyes unintentionally met his ck eyes. Her calm exDression couldn¡¯t hide her iov. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± She threw down the sketch and stood up from the sofa to walk to the bed. Jiang Yanshen also sat up. Seeing her sitting by the bed, his bright eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Do you feel okay? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?¡± After all, she had given him a sleeping pill. There would be side effects after eating it. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were expressionless as he stared at her with his ck eyes. The smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips gradually froze. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly stretched out his arm and grabbed the back of her neck, pulling her into his arms. Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°Ah Yan, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer, but he kept tightening his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what was wrong with him, but she let him strangle her until she couldn¡¯t breathe. Her slender arms gently caressed his back. It silentlyforted his emotions. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you stupid?¡± His tightly pursed lips finally moved, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. ¡°How can you be¡­ so silly?¡± She was so silly¡­ that it made his heart ache. Lin Qingqian blinked and said innocently, ¡°I¡¯m not stupid.¡± Jiang Yanshen let go of her and lowered his eyes, his tone fierce. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to interfere in my matters? Didn¡¯t I tell you to separate your feelings from your work? Didn¡¯t I tell you not to be soft-hearted¡­¡± ¡°I know all this.¡± Before he could finish, Lin Qingqian¡¯s soft voice sounded. ¡°But I don¡¯t want to do that.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned, his brows filled with coldness. ¡®You still dare to talk back?¡± He was angry, but she was smiling. ¡°I Imow you have the ability to resolve it, and I know you must have your own arrangements, but Ah Yan¡­¡± Her watery eyes looked at him as she said righteously, ¡°You¡¯re my boyfriend. I definitely have to do something for you, and I¡¯m the most suitable person to do these things. You can choose not to drink too much, but what¡¯s the point of holding back on love?¡± Jiang Yanshen was stunned. After a long time, he seemed to be unable to squeeze out a sentence. ¡°You¡¯re bing more and more disobedient.¡± No matter what he said, she refused to listen. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m not the previous Lin Qingqian. Didn¡¯t you know long ago?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined fingers gently caressed her cheek, his dark eyes looking at her. Lin Qingqian raised her head, a faint smile flowing on her in face. ¡°Lin Qingqian, let¡¯s break up.¡± He wanted to say this. But when the words were about to leave his mouth, they rolled between his teeth and lips for a long time before he finally swallowed them back and let his internal organs be crushed. Lin Qingqian sensed that something was wrong. ¡®What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes lowered, and his eyes were clear again. There were no emotions in them. He lowered his head and leaned closer, his voice seductive. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯ll treat you well.¡± It would definitely treat you well. Very well. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. Before she could speak, her lips were sealed. The temperature in the room seemed to be very low in the second half of the night. Jiang Yanshen pulled the nket higher and covered her snow-white shoulders. Lin Qingqian was too tired from the day and fell asleep in a short while. He lowered his head and kissed her little face before zettinz out of bed. The moon outside the window was thin and curved. A cool breeze blew over, and the leaves rustled. Jiang Yanshen walked to the flower bed and sat down. The flower bed that was originally nted with roses was now filled with small vegetables and cabbages that were growing happily. The air was mixed with the smell of mud and vegetables, making people unable to help but rx a lot. He took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket, lit one, and choked on it. He couldn¡¯t help but cough. The cigarette butt burned lonely at the tip of his finger. The scarlet me flickered like a red star. He finally stopped coughing and stared at the fire with his ck eyes. His thin lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. ¡®Perhaps you¡¯ve already disguised yourself perfectly and can fool everyone.¡¯ ¡®No one has walked into your heart in so many years, right?¡¯ ¡®What family? What brothers? What love? You never cared at all, did you?¡¯ Gu Xici¡¯s words kept echoing in his ears, and the smile on his lips became even more mocking. He had disguised himself perfectly and deceived everyone, even himself¡­ However, Gu Xici beat him back to his original state in a few words and sent him back to the bottom of the abyss, never to be able to make aeback. The cigarette between his fingers burned out and singed his fingers. He let go btedly. The cigarette butt fell to the ground and the fire gradually extinguished. ¡®Jiang Yanshen, you can ignore us, but only this woman¡­¡¯ ¡®This woman is the only person that you can¡¯t let down. You can¡¯t ruin her heart again and again!¡¯ No, he would never ruin that burning and sincere heart. It rained just before dawn. The morning was misty and the air was very humid. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen when she went downstairs. She looked around and saw a tall figure in the flower bed in the backyard. He was wearing a ck shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his good-looking wrists. He plucked tworge vegetables from the vegetable garden. His sleeves were still wet from the rain and their color had darkened. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Lin Qingqian walked forward and asked. When Jiang Yanshen saw her, his ck eyes lit up like a spring breeze. ¡°I¡¯ve asked the professor at Agricultural University. He said that this vegetable is more delicious after being washed by the rain.¡± Lin Qingqian was speechless for a few seconds. ¡°You went to ask a professor to be your consultant just to nt vegetables?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t seem to hear the speechlessness in her words. He took the cabbage and walked into the house. ¡°The professor praised me for being studious.¡¯ Lin Qingqian: Did this old professor run out of students to teach? Jiang Yanshen handed the cabbage to the auntie to deal with. When he turned around and saw her speechless expression, his thin lips curled up. Lin Qingqian was puzzled.. ¡°What are you smiling about?¡± Chapter 262 - 262: Puppy Jiang Confessed to Daughter Chapter 262: Puppy Jiang Confessed to Daughter Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm palmnded on the top of her head, his voice pleasant. ¡°Previously, it was me, Yunshen, and Grandma who held the shares. But now, you¡¯ve reced Grandma¡¯s role.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked, not fully understanding. ¡°You mean¡­ whoever I give the shares to can decide who has the right to speak at the shareholders¡¯ meeting.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly as he praised, ¡®You¡¯re right.¡± ¡°But I still don¡¯t quite understand.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him with her clear eyes, her brows furrowed. ¡°Why did Grandma do this? Yunshen admires you so much. It¡¯s impossible for him topete with you.¡± ¡°Yunshen won¡¯t, but Jiang Chongjing will.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved slightly, hitting the nail on the head. Lin Qingqian was stunned. She still had a question in her heart. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t she give it to you directly? Could it be that she¡¯s still afraid¡ª¡± Her voice suddenly paused, and she understood something in an instant. Her soft voice was mixed with disbelief. ¡°The person she wants to guard against¡­ is you!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were calm and emotionless. His silence also tacitly confirmed her guess. The olddy was not guarding against Jiang Yunshen or Jiang Chongjing, but him, Jiang Yanshen! ¡°Grandma was afraid that you would hurt Yunshen.¡± Lin Qingqian was shocked by this guess. Her heart couldn¡¯t help but beat faster, and she became even more puzzled. ¡°Why? She dotes on you so much, but she still doesn¡¯t trust you? And why did she choose me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget how my father died.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gentle voice reminded her. ¡°Grandma knows very well that you¡¯re soft-hearted. Even if Yunshen treated you badly in the past, as long as he doesn¡¯t have any ill intentions, you won¡¯t have the heart to hurt him.¡± What the olddy wanted to use to bnce Jiang Yanshen was not the 15% shares, but Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. Her clear eyes under her curled slender eyshes were filled with iprehensible emotions. She would never have thought that Grandma, who usually looked amiable, was also scheming. She didn¡¯t even trust her biological grandson¡­ Jiang Yanshen knew that once these things were exposed to her, she would find it very difficult to ept. ¡°Qianqian, being born into a family like ours, one is destined to be suspicious by nature and guard against everyone. You can¡¯tpletely trust even the people closest to you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly, and another image popped up in her mind. She suddenly asked, ¡°Then why did you bring me here today?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes moved. His thin lips were pursed slightly, and he didn¡¯t speak for a moment. ¡°I remember now. I bumped into you when you were meeting them previously.¡± At that time, Lin Qingqian thought that they were just ordinary business partners. She didn¡¯t expect them to be shareholders of the Tianyue Group. ¡°What do you mean by pulling in the?¡± Jiang Yanshen pinched her knuckles with his fingertips and said unhurriedly, ¡°I have ced my own people by Jiang Chongjing¡¯s side. I received the news in advance that he wanted to use Old Madam¡¯s birthday to return. The moment he returned, he became restless and secretly contacted the shareholders of the Tianyue Group, wanting to buy the shares in their hands. This requires arge amount of funds. The project I got someone to introduce to him will trap all the funds in his hands and make him lose everything.¡± These casual words had already let Lin Qingqian visualize an inescapable, and Jiang Chongjing was already in his hands. What awaited him was a fatal blow from the hunter. ¡°Since you already have a n, why didn¡¯t you resolve the recent matter?¡± Lin Qingqian had a faint guess, but she needed him to confirm it.. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Chapter 263 - 263: Lin Qingqian ‘s Heart Is Ultimately As Low As Mud In Your Eyes Chapter 263: Lin Qingqian ¡®s Heart Is Ultimately As Low As Mud In Your Eyes Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fingers paused, and his eyes darkened. ¡°There are Jiang Chongjing¡¯s people in the shareholders¡¯ meeting.¡± Lin Qingqian was very smart. She hadpletely figured it out with just one sentence. ¡°Your disy of weakness during this period of time was to confuse Jiang Chongjing and make him think that you were unprepared and caught off guard. This way, he will lower his guard and his people will reveal ws in the shareholders¡¯ meeting.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded in acknowledgment. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and looked at him with her bright eyes. ¡°I was nosy and ruined your n.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand tightly in his and said in a low voice, ¡°No, you did very well.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t look rxed because of his words. Instead, more darkness surged in her eyes. The car slowly stopped by the roadside. Not far away was Lin Qingqian¡¯spany. She didn¡¯t get out of the car immediately, nor did she say anything. Instead, she turned her head to look at the bustling pedestrians by the roadside outside the car window. A momentter, she turned to look at the handsome man. The moment she pulled her hand out of his palm, her lips curled up. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, actually, you don¡¯t trust me either.¡± Jiang Yanshen felt his palm empty. The coldness was like a de cutting through his palm, and pain instantly swept into his chest. Lin Qingqian looked at him quietly. She couldn¡¯t be said to be very angry as she spoke in an extremely faint tone. ¡°You asked me to stay out of it and didn¡¯t tell me why because you didn¡¯t believe that I would appear at the beginning of my career to rify things for you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat tightened, and his rippling dark eyes exined everything. His throat moved as he called out to her, ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and the corners of her lips curled up, filled with self-deprecation. ¡°Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart is ultimately as lowly as mud in your eyes.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her porcin-white fingers pushed open the car door. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to pull her back, but his fingertips had just touched her when Lin Qingqian shook him off. She didn¡¯t even look back as her slender figure walked straight and lonely towards thepany door. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm was still frozen in midair. His dark eyes stared at her back without blinking, and his breathing stopped. When he decided to bring her to see Chairman He and Chairman Kang, he was already prepared. After all, she was too smart, so it was impossible for her not to guess¡­ He expected her to be angry, but he didn¡¯t expect her to only say indifferently, ¡°Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart is ultimately as lowly as mud in your eyes.¡± Then, she turned around and left. Compared to her not crying or making a fuss, he would rather her be angry and scold him. It didn¡¯t even matter if she pped him. This would also make him feel better. Ever since that day, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen again. She didn¡¯t reply to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s WeChat messages. When Jiang Yanshen said that he wasing to pick her up from work, she replied, ¡°I want to be alone.¡± This unfriendly attitude made Jiang Yanshen helpless, not to mention that he still had to deal with Jiang Chongjing. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t see mm or reply to ms messages, Dut news about tne Tianyue Group still reached her ears one after another. Tianyue Group¡¯s public rtions department showed an authoritative expert¡¯s diagnosis that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bipr disorder had been cured and he didn¡¯t have any violent tendencies. And because of Lin Qingqian¡¯s video, Madam Jiang was exposed to have faked the domestic abuse and was scolded badly by theizens. She heard that when she went out, people would recognize her and spit on her. Because of this, Jiang Yanshen was pitied by theizens. They all said that with such a mother, they would also be forced into mental illness. r lWvo shareholders of the Tianyue Group were suddenly kicked out, and two projects that Jiang Chongjing had originally invested in had been exposed to be problematic, and the funds in his hands were instantly tied up. He might even be in debt¡­ The reporters wanted to interview Jiang Yanshen but were blocked. They called the public rtions department, who only replied with two words: Noment. No matter how stupid Jiang Chongjing was, he realized that he had been tricked by Jiang Yanshen and was so angry that he smashed everything. Wu Suyun stood at the side and didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Where¡¯s that bastard Jiang Yunshen?¡± Jiang Chongjing roared. Wu Suyun finally looked up with a calm expression. ¡°Yunshen is probably busy?¡± ¡°Busy? What is he busy with?¡± Jiang Chongjing said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know that he hangs around outside all day and doesn¡¯t do any proper work! Call him back!¡± Wu Suyun stood still, a hint of hesitation appearing in her lowered eyes. Seeing that she was as motionless as a block of wood, Jiang Chongjing became even angrier. ¡°Why are you still standing there? Call him and tell him toe back!¡± Wu Suyun sighed secretly and took out her phone to call Jiang Yunshen. Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun didn¡¯t live in the Jiang Residence, but in another property. When Jiang Yunshen received the call and rushed back, the servants had already cleaned up. Jiang Chongjing sat on the sofa, his rough facial features filled with dense anger. Wu Suyun remained silent at the side, looking like an obedient little wife as usual. ¡°Dad, why did you suddenly call me back?¡± Jiang Yunshen walked closer and asked indifferently. Jiang Chongjing raised his head and red at him fiercely. ¡®Why did I call you back? If I didn¡¯t call you back, would you have forgotten that you still have a father?¡± Jiang Yunshen frowned and denied it. ¡°Don¡¯t you have the shares of Tianyue Group? Sell it immediately.¡± Jiang Chongjing suppressed his anger and said coldly. Back then, when the Old Master transferred the shares to Jiang Yunshen, he had additional conditions. The shares could not be transferred to Jiang Chongjing. Jiang Yunshen was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°Dad, what are you talking about? How can you ask me to sell my shares?¡± ¡°Just sell it when I tell you to! Don¡¯t talk so much nonsense!¡± Jiang Chongjing berated him. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared the information. Sign it.¡± As long as Jiang Yunshen signed and sold the shares, he could pay his debt. ¡°I¡¯m not selling it!¡± Jiang Yunshen replied without thinking. ¡°Grandpa gave me the shares. Tianyue belongs to the Jiang Family. Once the shares are sold, the Jiang Family won¡¯t have any say in thepany. What should Big Brother do?¡± When Jiang Chongjing heard that he was still concerned about Jiang Yanshen, the anger in his chest could no longer be suppressed and erupted. He stood up and walked forward to p him. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face was pped to the side, and Wu Suyun stood up and called out worriedly, ¡°Yunshen¡­¡± Jiang Chongjing scolded angrily, ¡°Are you my son or not? You helped that bastard but not your father! Do you know what he did!¡± Jiang Yunshen held the half of his face that had been pped and turned to look at him. His eyes were red, like an angry little beast. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯ve done! If you didn¡¯t try to fight with Big Brother, you wouldn¡¯t have invested in that project and lost everything!¡± ¡°Now, you want me to sell my shares to fill your hole. I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s impossible¡­¡± Jiang Chongjing was furious and raised his hand to p him again. ¡°No!¡± Wu Suyun hugged his arm without a care. ¡°Don¡¯t hit Yunshen anymore.¡± Jiang Chongjing was too angry to care so much. He turned around, grabbed her hand, and pushed her away. ¡°Get lost.¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wu Suyun lost her bnce and fell to the ground. Her forehead hit the edge of the coffee table and blood immediately spewed out. ¡°Mom!!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes widened as he immediately pounced over to support her. ¡°Mom, Mom, how are you?¡± Wu Suyun¡¯s head and face were covered in blood. One of her eyes was covered by blood, and the remaining eye was looking at him. Her fingers gripped his arm tightly, and her voice was weak. ¡°Morn is fine. Dont worry¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes turned even redder. Without a word, he picked her up andforted her as he walked out. ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll send you to the hospital. Don¡¯t worry, you¡¯ll be fine.¡± Jiang Chongjing¡¯s face darkened as he watched him leave with Wu Suyun in his arms. He was so angry that he directly flipped the coffee table and turned to leave. Only broken ss and a pool of shocking blood were left on the ground. At the hospital. When Jiang Yanshen walked into the ward, Jiang Yunshen sat by the bed and held Wu Suyun¡¯s hand, asking her with concern, ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡± Wu Suyun¡¯s face was pale, and her eyes were very gentle and loving. ¡°Mom is fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Second Aunt.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice attracted their attention. Jiang Yunshen turned around and saw him. He called out dryly, ¡°Brother.¡± Wu Suyun said weakly, ¡°Yanshen is here?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and looked at her bandaged forehead. His voice was calm and emotionless. ¡°I¡¯ve informed the best neurologist in the hospital toe and give Second Aunt aprehensive checkupter.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble,¡± Wu Suyun said politely. ¡°Mom, it¡¯s better to check.¡± Jiang Yunshen insisted and looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Thank you, Big Brother.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him and said to Wu Suyun, ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb Second Aunt¡¯s rest. Yunshen,e out for a while.¡± Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t agree immediately. Instead, he looked at his mother. Seeing her nod slightly, he stood up and followed him out. The door of the ward closed. Jiang Yanshen walked to the empty window at the end of the corridor and turned to look at Jiang Yunshen, who had followed him. He went straight to the point. ¡°Your father asked you to sell your shares?¡± A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes as he nodded slowly. ¡°What do you think?¡± he asked with thin lips. Jiang Yunshen pondered for a moment and gritted his teeth. ¡°I won¡¯t sell it. He reaped what he sowed. Why should I pay for it for him?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was indifferent as he narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Yunshen, vou¡¯re alreadv an adult. It¡¯s fine if vou v around usuallv, but what path you take in the future will depend on your choice.¡± Jiang Yunshen looked up at him, as if he didn¡¯t understand him. ¡°As long as you hold the shares of the Tianyue Group, you and Second Aunt¡¯s lives will always be guaranteed.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words were clearer. ¡°You and Second Aunt are not the same kind of person as him, understand?¡± Jiang Yunshen took a deep breath. ¡°Big Brother means¡­ to let my mother get a divorce?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t reply. He reached out and patted his shoulder. ¡°Second Aunt really dotes on you. Now, you have to bear the responsibility of taking care of and protecting her.¡± He had other matters to attend to, so he left after giving a few instructions. Jiang Yunshen returned to the ward and peeled an apple for Wu Suyun. As he peeled, he peeked at her from the corner of his eye. Wu Suyun saw that he was troubled and said gently, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did Yanshen tell you something?¡± Chapter 265 - 265: In the Mountains, There Are Trees Chapter 265: In the Mountains, There Are Trees Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was a little dizzy from drinking and watched him walk over in a daze. The ck shadowpletely covered Suisui beside her. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and said in a cold voice, ¡°Excuse me.¡± Suisui ¡°¡­¡± On what basis? The words were about to leave her mouth when she met his dark and cold gaze and silently swallowed them back. Her butt moved to the side to make room for him. Jiang Yanshen sat down beside Lin Qingqian and looked at her with burning eyes. The others also became reserved because of his sudden arrival. The private room was silent all of a sudden. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Carry on as you wish. There¡¯s no need to mind me.¡± When Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice sounded, he looked straight at Lin Qingqian. How could the others dare to move? Suisui was bold and shouted, ¡°Everyone, get high! An hour in a private room is very expensive, okay? Don¡¯t waste my wallet!¡± She took the initiative to pick up the microphone and started wailing and howling. Only then did the atmosphere slowly warm up. Lin Qingqian knew that he was staring at her and deliberately pretended not to know, but her fingers subconsciously clenched her clothes. Han Liubai¡¯s gaze on Jiang Yanshen turned cold. Jiang Yanshen seemed to not see him. He turned his head and leaned close to Lin Qingqian¡¯s ear, his voice low and seductive. ¡°How much did you drink?¡± His warm breath tickled her ears, and her body instinctively tensed up. Her delicate face was still calm. She didn¡¯t look at him and said calmly, ¡°Not much.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°If you feel ufortable, tell me. I¡¯ll bring you home.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I don¡¯t feel ufortable. Suisui and the others will send me home if I drink too much.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened slightly, but he didn¡¯t say anything or get up to leave. He just sat beside her. The atmosphere in the private room was turbid, but he could still smell the faint perfume on her body. It was so familiar and reassuring. ¡°Since Director Jiang is here, let me toast you.¡± Han Liubai raised his ss to toast Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian was stunned and looked at Han Liubai in surprise¡­ Han Liubai looked at Jiang Yanshen firmly with his gentle eyes. He was not as gentle as usual, and seemed to be targeting him. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered. As he looked up, his jawbone tightened slightly. His slender fingers picked up the wine ss in front of Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian hurriedly grabbed his hand, her face frosty. ¡°You can¡¯t drink.¡± Didn¡¯t he know how bad his alcohol tolerance is? Did he want to go crazy in public after drinking, or disy his split personality in public? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyesnded on her fair and slender fingers, and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s not good for me to decline when your colleague toasts me.¡± His low and hoarse voice sounded like he was pretending to be obedient. Lin Qingqian took the cup from his hand and looked at Han Liubai. ¡°He can¡¯t drink. You¡¯re not in good health either, so don¡¯t drink.¡± With that, she snatched the cup from his hand as well. Han Liubai was slightly stunned, and the light in his eyes rippled. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up as a glint shed in his eyes like he was showing off. The moment the three of them turned silent, a familiar prelude suddenly sounded in the private room. Suisui hurriedly handed her the microphone. ¡°Qianqian, your signature song.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the microphone in front of her and then at the familiar music video on the screen. She didn¡¯t know know who had picked the song ¡°In the Mountains, There Are Trees¡±. Seeing that she was in a daze, Suisui urged, ¡°Sing quickly. Isn¡¯t this a must pick song for you every time youe to the KTV?!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingers clenched into fists, but she still didn¡¯t move. Jiang Yanshen took the microphone and raised it in front of her. ¡°Sing.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him, and her heart felt like it was being roasted on charcoal. She thought to herself, ¡°Suisui, this pig teammate!¡± ¡°Why aren¡¯t you singing?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly. ¡°Are you shy because I¡¯m sitting beside you?¡± Usually, Lin Qingqian would not fall for such a childish provocation. However, she had drunk alcohol tonight and was still holding back her anger, so she naturally fell for his trap. ¡°No.¡± Her lips were cold as she took the microphone and started singing. ¡°From childhood friends to never parting, no matter how many stormse, we fear nothing.¡± She had sung this song countless times. Every note and lyric seemed to be engraved into her bones. She could finish singing it even with her eyes closed. Her clear voice overflowed with every line of the lyrics, piercing one¡¯s heart. ¡°On the hill there are trees and in my heart, you¡¯re shining like a star. Our hearts are one even when we¡¯re apart.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her clean and elegant facial features. His throat moved slightly, and an indescribable emotion tangled in his chest. Han Liubai looked at her, his gentle eyes flickering. His emotions changed a thousand times, and in the end, they were all crushed and pierced through his internal organs. ¡°In this world, amidst the changing seasons and vastness of the universe, there¡¯s only one you. Through joys and sorrows, ups and downs, we experience it all to the fullest.¡± After the song, before the melody ended, Lin Qingqian had already put down the microphone. Her voice was a little strange. ¡°I¡¯m going to the washroom.¡± With that, she stood up and walked out of the private room. Jiang Yanshen and Han Liubai¡¯s gazes followed her back at the same time. Lin Qingqian walked into the washroom and washed her face with cold water. Her dizzy mind gradually cleared up. When she sang, her mind was filled with the scenes of the past seven years. There were the scenes of Jiang Yanshen chasing her to Yu Mountain, and the scenes of him whispering intimately with her. Her heart ached and swelled. She felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry and even regretted it. Should she not be so soft-hearted? Perhaps she shouldn¡¯t have turned around, and be bewitched by this man showing his weakness¡­ Just as Lin Qingqian was feeling vexed, the washroom door was pushed open. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall figure was reflected in the mirror. ¡°Why did youe in?¡± She was shocked and turned around, her eyes slightly angry. ¡°This is the female washroom.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was calm as he locked the door. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yanshen walked closer and saw the water droplets on her face. His eyebrows moved slightly. ¡°You¡¯re crying?¡± ¡°No!¡± Lin Qingqian insisted, her voice cold. ¡°Why should I cry?¡± Jiang Yanshen took a tissue and wanted to wipe her face, but she turned her head away angrily. His well-defined fingers pinched her chin and he coaxed in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t move. ¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s chin was pinched by him and she couldn¡¯t move. She nced at him from the corner of her eye, her eyes filled with usation. Jiang Yanshen gently and carefully wiped the water droplets off her face. He threw the tissue into the trash can by the wall. His ck eyes were not as cold as usual. Instead, they were warm and sticky. ¡°Are you still angry?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s chin was free. She turned her head and couldn¡¯t look at him, not saying a word. Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and exhaled. He held her slender wrist with his fingertips and said in a low voice, ¡°I know my mistake. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Lin Qingqian shook off his hand and looked up at him, her eyes cold and sharp. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, in your eyes, am I especially saintly?¡± Jiang Yanshen blinked. Before he could understand the meaning of her words, he heard a self-deprecating voice.. ¡°Otherwise, why would you think that as long as you show weakness and pretend to be pitiful, I¡¯ll forgive you?¡± Chapter 266 - 266: Jiang Yanshen, I Can Live Without You Chapter 266: Jiang Yanshen, I Can Live Without You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly, and his eyes were light. His throat moved as he said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°I don¡¯t think like that.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled into a cold sneer. It was unknown if she wasughing at him or herself. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen called out to her in a low voice. His dark eyes were gentle and loving, and it was easy to drown in them. He silently gulped before saying slowly, ¡°No one taught me how to love someone, nor did anyone teach me how to trust someone.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. When she looked up at him, she heard his low voice. ¡°You¡¯re the one teaching me. You can¡¯t stop teaching halfway. This way, I¡¯ll never be able to learn.¡± Her breathing slowed slightly. She didn¡¯t expect him to say this at all. He was simply.. Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen hooked her pinky with his well-defined fingers. Seeing that she didn¡¯t resist, he slowly held her hand in his palm. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you and didn¡¯t want you to interfere. I really didn¡¯t expect you to do this for me. Part of the reason is also because of the Jiang Family. If you can avoid getting involved, it¡¯s best.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and was not confused by his Trojan Horse argument. ¡°Grandma gave me the shares. Do you think I can avoid getting involved in the Jiang Family¡¯s mess just because I don¡¯t want to?¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips tightly and remained silent. Lin Qingqian looked at him, her bright eyes mixed with grievance and sadness. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, seven years ago, I gave my heart to you. Seven yearster, I took it back just like that. It¡¯s the same now.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes tightened, his eyes as dark as the abyss. Her cold voice sounded in his ears, and every word was as sharp as a knife¡ª ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I can live without you!!¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s strong arms had already pulled her into his arms and buried his head in her neck. His voice was tense and hoarse. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. You can punish me however you want.¡± Lin Qingqian was held in his arms and was almost out of breath. Her nose was filled with the ebony fragrance on his body, and her grievances turned into anger that made her pinch his waist. Jiang Yanshen let her pinch him as if he didn¡¯t know pain. As long as she could calm down, anything was fine. When Jiang Yanshen heard her nasal voice, his arms loosened slightly. He looked down at her, his ck eyes filled with apology and sincerity. ¡°No, it¡¯s your birthday today. You can¡¯t cry, okay?¡± His low and hoarse voice coaxed her patiently. When Lin Qingqian heard this, she felt even more upset. ¡°You also know that today is my birthday. Where¡¯s the gift?¡± Knowing that asking for a gift meant that she was no longer angry, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled into a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve ced it in Begonia Courtyard. Follow me back to get it.¡± Lin Qingqian was a little hesitant, feeling that he was setting a trap for her again. Jiang Yanshen seemed to know what she was worried about and added, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to stay after taking the gift, I¡¯ll send you back to your apartment, okay?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°You¡¯re the birthday girl. You have all the authority.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll go get my bag. Wait for me at the elevator.¡± Jiang Yanshen knew what she was thinking and agreed without hesitation. Lin Qingqian went to get her handbag and said goodbye to Suisui. She was inevitably ridiculed again. Xiao Bai was nowhere in sight. Jiang Yanshen was waiting for Lin Qingqian at the elevator entrance. From the corner of his eye, he saw Han Liubai walking over and pursed his thin lips. ¡°Thank you..¡± Chapter 267 - 267: Untitled Chapter 267: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions These simple words casually stirred the atmosphere, as if there were des dancing in the air. Han Liubai¡¯s eyes seemed to have a thickyer of frost as he stared at him coldly. It turned out that he had known all along. ¡°If Director Jiang likes this little bit of money, feel free to take it.¡± There was no emotion in his faint voice. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°I naturally won¡¯t take this small sum of money seriously, but it¡¯s a different matter if it¡¯s a gift from President Han.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s usual good temper immediately dissipated. He wished he could punch this man in the face. ¡°Why can¡¯t she see through your shameless face?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tone was light. ¡°Perhaps she prefers shamelessness to hypocrisy. ¡± If he was shameless, wouldn¡¯t Han Liubai be hypocritical? The two of them were the same, and neither of them couldugh at the other. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I lost this round, but¡­¡± His gentle voice paused.¡± How can one know life and death before the end? ¡® As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door slowly opened and he walked into it. Lin Qingqian walked over from the private room and vaguely saw Xiao Bai¡¯s shadow in the gap where the elevator door closed. ¡°Has Xiao Bai left?¡± she asked. Jiang Yanshen restrained the coldness and sharpness in his eyes and held her hand. He nodded and said pretentiously, ¡°Perhaps he had something else on, so he didn¡¯t say goodbye to you.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s go.¡± At 11:40 PM, Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen into Begonia Courtyard. There were no lights on in the house, and the air was filled with faint incense. The neon lights flickered with various colors, like the dazzling stars in the sky. There was also a formation of heart-shaped candles burning quietly on the floor, their me swaying warmly. Lin Qingqian was amused by this old-fashioned scene. She turned to look at Jiang Yanshen beside her. ¡°You prepared this?¡± Seeing how calm she was, Jiang Yanshen knew that this idea was terrible. ¡°It was Song Qin¡¯s idea.¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curved. ¡°Thank you. I like it very much.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows, surprise in his eyes. ¡°Although it¡¯s very old-fashioned, I¡¯m still very happy to see it with my own eyes.¡± Lin Qingqian shrugged helplessly. ¡°Looks like I¡¯m also a person who can¡¯t escape from the secr world.¡± A smile appeared in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek. ¡°Thank you for your tackiness.¡± If she wasn¡¯t old-fashioned, how could he coax her to be happy? Lin Qingqian felt that the ce he had kissed was burning. Her brows moved slightly and she restrained her smile. ¡°Where¡¯s the gift?¡± Jiang Yanshen did not answer. He pulled her hand around the candles on the floor and walked to the living room. The sofa in the living room was also filled with small neon lights. There was a decanter and two goblets on the coffee table. Jiang Yanshen let her sit down and poured a ss of red wine for her. Lin Qingqian shook the wine ss and ced it under her nose to smell it. The fragrance of the wine surged up. ¡°It smells quite good.¡± ¡°Taste it.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her with warm eyes, vaguely hopeful. Lin Qianqian took a sip. The texture was smooth, sweet, and not astringent. When she swallowed it, there was still a faint fragrance of wine on the tip of her tongue that lingered for a long time. ¡°Not bad.¡± Lin Qingqian gave a very sincere evaluation and looked at him. ¡°I¡¯ve drunk the wine. Where¡¯s the gift?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved slightly. ¡°Isn¡¯t it in your hands?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Her gaze shifted from him to her hand. ¡°This ss of wine is the gift?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°This bottle of wine doesn¡¯t have a name yet. Give it a name..¡± Chapter 268 - 268: Even If I Had A Scheme, The Motive Is You Alone Chapter 268: Even If I Had A Scheme, The Motive Is You Alone Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions 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 ss in her hand be warm. Knowing that he had brewed it himself, she couldn¡¯t help but want to taste it carefully again. When she raised her ss to drink, she nced 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 ss 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 identally finished the ss 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 ss 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 ss 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 sessfully 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 ss 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 breathnding 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 ss of something ck. Her memories fromst night were recovering bit by bit, especially some of the memories from thetter half of the night. She simply wanted to find a hole to hide in. She clutched the nket 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 withughter. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head slightly and nced 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 stayst 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 entuated 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 ced 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 arge 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 ufortable 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 ufortable 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 Gun¡¯s side was covered in dark clouds and was in a storm. Jiang Chongjing owed arge sum of money. If he did not repay it, he would be imprisoned. Thus, he instigated Li Gun 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, iming that he needed the money for his daughter and that thepany¡¯s investment funds were currently stuck. Li Gun 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 thoughtsnded 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 cor, 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 pped 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 thest 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¡­ Chapter 269 - 269: Puppy Jiang Was Made To Kneel in the Ancestral Hall Again Chapter 269: Puppy Jiang Was Made To Kneel in the Ancestral Hall Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Wu Suyun¡¯s mind was filled with Jiang Yunshen. She wanted to stop Jiang Chongjing and couldn¡¯t let him hit Yunshen anymore! At this moment, she couldn¡¯t care less. It waspletely a mother¡¯s instinct to love and protect her son. She rushed to the table beside her, grabbed the fruit knife on the fruit te, and ran towards Jiang Chongjing. Jiang Chongjing bent down and grabbed Jiang Yunshen¡¯s hand, about to force him to sign when his body suddenly stiffened. He felt a chill on his back and something quickly flowed out. He turned around and looked at Wu Suyun¡¯s pale and terrified face in disbelief. Wu Suyun held the fruit knife tightly with both hands. Although her hands were trembling, her eyes were very firm. ¡°You¡ª¡± Jiang Chongjing had just said a word when Wu Suyun took a step back. The Imife in her hand was pulled out, and scarlet blood sttered everywhere, sshing onto her face. It was hot but quickly cooled down. Jiang Chongjing¡¯s tall body swayed and fell to the ground. Blood kept flowing out of the wound on his back, which was eye-catching. Wu Suyun¡¯s eyes that were filled with tears were red. She took a deep breath and bit her lip as she cried, ¡°I won¡¯t let a beast like you hurt Yunshen. You¡¯re a beast. ¡± Jiang Chongjing realized something and wanted to escape, but the wound on his back was too painful. He couldn¡¯t even stand up and could only crawl away in a sorry state. His hands that were stained with his own blood flowed down onto the floor, leaving blobs of bloody handprints. Everyone had a wild beast locked up in their hearts. Usually, they had rationality and human nature to suppress it, but once a corner of the cage where the wild beast was locked up was revealed, the wild beast would follow the gap and bite out a piece of freedom. Wu Suyun was no exception. After suffering for a long time, her suppressed emotions erupted at this moment. Her evil image of human nature seemed to have been liberated. Her weakness and inferiority had turned into the fangs of a wild beast at this moment. She stabbed Jiang Chongjing again and again, not stopping until he died. Jiang Yunshen had long fainted and lost consciousness. Jiang Chongjing was lying not far away, his long arms stretched out as his eyes stared at the door, the emptiness in his pupils were filled with the desire for life. The knife in Wu Suyun¡¯s hand fell to the ground with a ng. She was covered in blood and trembling. Realizing what she had done, she began to cry. One moment, she was crying, and one moment, she wasughing¡­ Her pitiful and sad life was finally over. When the ambnce arrived and paramedics pushed open the door, they saw such a shocking scene. A young many on the ground, on the verge of death. As for the other middle-aged man, his eyes were wide open as he reached for the door. He had long died a tragic death. The room was filled with a thick and pungent smell of blood, like rusted iron cutting through everyone¡¯s skin, as if the most potent chemicals were inhaled into their hearts and lungs, corroding their organs and tearing them apart. Jiang Yunshen was sent to the hospital, and Jiang Chongjing was sent to the mortuary. When Jiang Yanshen received the news and rushed over, Lin Qingqian also happened to rush over. ¡°How¡¯s Yunshen?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Jiang Yanshen shook his head. ¡°His condition is not known yet.¡± Lin Qingqian did not ask further and went to the emergency room with him to wait. Half an hourter, the door of the resuscitation room opened. Jiang Yanshen walked forward and asked coldly, ¡°How¡¯s my brother?¡± The doctor took off his mask and said unhurriedly, ¡°The patient¡¯s life isn¡¯t in danger, but there are many whip wounds on his body. He still needs time to recuperate. ¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and remained silent. Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief and held his cold fingertips,forting him. ¡°It¡¯s good that Jiang Yunshen is fine.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her and nodded lightly. Jiang Yunshen was pushed out by the nurse and transferred to the ward. Lin Qingqian followed him the entire time and instructed Song Qin to go through the hospitalization procedures. Jiang Yanshen and Lu Yuan still needed to deal with Jiang Chongjing¡¯s death. The news of the Jiang Family¡¯s Second Master being stabbed to death by his wife couldn¡¯t be suppressed no matter what. All they could do now was to try their best to reduce the coverage of the news and prevent Jiang Yunshen from being disturbed by the media. For this, Jiang Yanshen sent four bodyguards to guard the ward. Other than the doctors and nurses, no one was allowed to approach the ward. They still had to inform the olddy in Jiang City. Outside the window, the daylight gradually dimmed, and the lingering sunlight from the west appeared like a blood-red gaping mouth, as if it wanted to devour the entire city in one gulp. The lights in the ward were not turned on yet. The lights were a little dim, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Jiang Yunshen groaned at first, then slowly opened his eyes¡­ Lin Qingqian put down her phone and turned on the light to look at him. ¡°You¡¯re awake. Don¡¯t move around. You¡¯ll pull on your wounds.¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned for a few seconds. He looked down and saw that his body was covered in bandages. There were bandages on his stomach, arms, and even his legs. His throat felt hoarse, like it was being pricked by needles. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a rough sentence. ¡°Where¡ªwhere¡¯s my mother?¡± He seemed to have seen his mother before he lost consciousness. Lin Qingqian paused in her action of pouring water and quickly reacted. She said gently, ¡°Your injuries are very serious and you need to recuperate well.¡± Jiang Yunshen looked up at her, his breathing quickening as he repeated with difficulty, ¡°W-where did my mother go?¡± Since he was so seriously injured, his mother would definitely be here. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly as she held the cup and did not speak. Without another word, Jiang Yunshen moved to pull out the infusion needle. Lin Qingqian was shocked and hurriedly put down the cup to hold his hand. ¡°Your mother¡­ has passed away.¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned for a moment before shaking his head in disbelief. ¡°No, that¡¯s impossible¡­¡± His hoarse voice trembled. He wanted to get off the bed, but every time he tried to move, his bones would hurt and he felt like he was about to be torn apart. Lin Qingqian pressed his shoulder with all her might. ¡°Jiang Yunshen, calm down¡­ ¡°Let go of me¡­ Let go of me¡­ I¡¯m going to look for my mother. Lin Qingqian, let go of me¡­¡± It was unknown where he got the strength to push Lin Qingqian away. He grabbed the tubes and removed them, sitting up to get off the bed¡­ Lin Qingqian staggered two steps and finally stabilized herself. Seeing that he was about to get off the bed, she went forward without thinking and pped him. ¡°Jiang Yunshen, are you done fooling around?¡± Her clear voice was very intimidating. Jiang Yunshen was immediately stunned by her, and his eyes turned red. He looked like an aggrieved and angry little monster. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and bit her lip. ¡°Your mother did it to save you. She wanted you to be fine, but look at you now.¡± ¡°Where can you go? What can you do?¡± Her every word was like a whip thatnded on Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face. He was ashamed and couldn¡¯t say anything. He gritted his teeth tightly, and something in his eyes gushed out desperately. Lin Qingqian supported his unsteady body. ¡°Lie down. I¡¯ll tell you slowly after you lie down.¡± Jiang Yunshen was like a soulless puppet that she helped lie down. Tears kept flowing out of his closed eyes. Lin Qingqian stood at the side and hesitated before saying, ¡°ording to what I know, your father drugged you and wanted you to sign the agreement to sell your shares, but you refused. He used violence on you¡­ So after calling an ambnce, she jumped down from the 28th floor.¡± Jiang Yunshen bit the corner of his lips tightly, but there was no reaction even when he bled. He raised his scarred arm to block his eyes, but he couldn¡¯t stop the tears that kept flowing. ¡°Your mother is a good mother. She used all her strength to protect you. Her only hope is that you can live well and safely.¡± After saying this, Lin Qingqian turned around and walked out of the ward. The moment she closed the door, she heard uncontroble wails in the ward. It was heart-wrenching and soul shattering. Lin Qingqian closed the door and didn¡¯t rush to call the doctor and nurses. Instead, she leaned against the wall and listened to the usually arrogant young man in the ward cry like a helpless child through the door. When there was no more movement in the ward, Lin Qingqian asked the bodyguard to call the doctor. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s body was already weak, so how could he withstand such a blow? He fainted again. The doctor checked his body to confirm that there was no problem, and the nurse gave him another infusion. In order to ensure his health, the doctor gave him a stabilizer and ensured that he would not wake up tonight and could rest well. Lin Qingqian stayed in the ward for a while longer before she received a call from Lu Yuan saying that Old Madam Jiang had returned and pped Jiang Yanshen in public. Without hesitation, she immediately asked Chen Mu to send her back to the Jiang residence. Half an hourter, Lin Qingqian rushed into the house in her high heels but didn¡¯t see anyone. The servant said that the olddy had gone to the hospital, and Jiang Yanshen was in the ancestral hall. Lin Qingqian turned around and walked out towards the ancestral hall not far away. The lights in the ancestral hall were not switched on, and only some candles were lit. Because the door was not closed, Lin Qingqian saw the figure kneeling in front of the memorial tablet from afar. Jiang Yanshen probably heard footsteps. When she walked up to him, he turned his head to look at her. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± The five red finger marks on his left cheek could still be vaguely seen. Lin Qingqian squatted down, her bright eyes filled with heartache. ¡°Why did Grandma hit you? This isn¡¯t your fault.¡± Jiang Chongjing was inhumane and could even be so ruthless to his own son. Wu Suyun killed him to protect Jiang Yunshen. This matter couldn¡¯t be med on Jiang Yanshen. She reached out to touch his cheek, but she retracted her hand for fear of hurting him. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved slightly. ¡°Grandma is ming me.¡± ¡°me you for what?¡± Lin Qingqian was puzzled. ¡°It¡¯s not like you forced Jiang Chongjing to death.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and did not speak, as if he was thinking about something. Lin Qingqian knew that he did not want to say, so she didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°I¡¯ll get you an ice pack to put on your face.¡± She stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly felt a force on her wrist. She lowered her head and fell into Jiang Yanshen¡¯ske-like eyes. ¡°Stay with me for a while, okay?¡± His voice rose slightly with a hint of pleading. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before squatting down again. Jiang Yanshen brought the futon beside him for her to sit on, but Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t sit. ¡°Kneel on the mat, or your knee will hurt.¡± ¡°Grandma doesn¡¯t allow it,¡± Jiang Yanshen said helplessly. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before asking, ¡°Why?¡± Why did she p him in public and punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall? Chapter 270 - 270: I Believe You Chapter 270: I Believe You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen moved his knee to face her, but he still remained kneeling. He reached out and held her small hand in his palm. Seeing that he was silent, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything and apanied him quietly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick eyshes drooped. After a moment of silence, he said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°How¡¯s Yunshen?¡± ¡°The moment he woke up, he wanted to look for your second aunt. I couldn¡¯t stop him, so I could only tell him the truth.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was dull. Thinking of Jiang Yunshen, her heart ached. ¡°The doctor gave him a stabilizer. He should remain asleep until tomorrow morning.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Gu Xici said that the case is basically very clear. Second Auntmitted suicide after murdering her husband to protect Yunshen.¡± Hearing his words, Lin Qingqian felt that something was wrong. ¡°Could it be that the truth isn¡¯t like this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyshes fluttered as he looked at her, the strength in his fingertips tightening involuntarily. ¡°That¡¯s the truth, but there¡¯s something suspicious. ¡± ¡°What¡¯s suspicious?¡± ¡°Most hotels don¡¯t keep fruit knives in their suites unless the guests request them.¡¯ Only then did Lin Qingqian realize that something was wrong. ¡°Then what did Gu Xici say after investigating? ¡°The results of the investigation are that thest tenant had ordered some fruits to eat, so they gave him a fruit knife. However, they forgot to take the fruit knife away when they were cleaning the room.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°An ident?¡± This indeed looked like an ident. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Grandma suspects that I set a trap for Jiang Chongjing.¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°How would you know that Jiang Chongjing would force Yunshen to sell his shares? You¡ª¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she met his dark eyes and her breathing stopped¡­ ¡°You knew?!!¡± Her eyes were filled with confusion, but her tone was firm. She felt as if she had fallen into a coldke and couldn¡¯t breathe. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t deny it and said unhurriedly, ¡°Jiang Chongjing¡¯s debt is too high. If he can¡¯t repay it, he can only go to jail. His only hope is to sell the shares in Yunshen¡¯s hands.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but shiver involuntarily, and her voice became much lower, ¡°He doesn¡¯t know that it was you who¡¯s buying the shares. So, even without Grandma¡¯s shares, you will still be thergest shareholder of Tianyue, and no one can shake your position anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his ck eyes and nodded without hesitation. ¡°Yes.¡± He nad promised ner tnat ne would trust ner and would not lie to ner again. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled. She grabbed his hand and bit her lip as she asked, ¡°Were you the one who caused Jiang Chongjing¡¯s death?¡± Jiang Yanshen did not answer and asked, ¡°Would you believe me if I said no?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll believe you if you say no!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. His voice was firm, and there was no guilt in his clean and bright ck eyes. Lin Qingqian held his hand with both hands and said gently, ¡°I believe you.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips slightly, and his eyes lit up. He held her hand and said gently, ¡°Go back and rest.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I want to apany you.¡± ¡°You still have to work tomorrow.¡± He was punished by the olddy to kneel here all night. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°I won¡¯t be busy these few days. It¡¯s enough with Suisui and Xiao Bai around.¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that he couldn¡¯t persuade her and didn¡¯t say anything else. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian was so frightened that she hurriedly leaned back and nced guiltily at the memorial tablets of the Jiang Family¡¯s ancestors. ¡°Stop fooling around. The ancestors are watching.¡± Such frivolity was disrespectful to their ancestors. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were calm, as if he didn¡¯t care about those tablets at all. It was only because of the olddy¡¯s punishment that he knelt here. ¡°Are you tired?¡± He asked. She had worked all day and was taking care of Jiang Yunshen at the hospital. Her eyes were filled with unconceble fatigue. Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her eyebrows and said in a low voice, ¡°If you¡¯re tired, lean on me and rest for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before getting up and moving the futon to his side. She sat down and leaned her head on his shoulder. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair, his ck eyes filled with smiles. Even if the olddy didn¡¯t believe him¡­ no, even if the entire world didn¡¯t believe him. He still had Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian alone was enough. Lin Qingqian originally wanted to lean against him and close her eyes to rest for a while, but in the end, she fell asleep unknowingly. In a daze, she heard movement and opened her eyes. Before she could react, she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice. ¡°Grandma is here.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Madam Liu helping Old Madam Jiang over slowly. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were numb. Old Madam Jiang frowned slightly when she saw Lin Qingqian. ¡°Qianqian, why are you here?¡± ¡°Madam Liu, quickly help Qianqian up.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Madam Liu replied and immediately went forward to help Lin Qingqian up. Lin Qingqian¡¯s legs were extremely numb. If no one supported her, she would not be able to stand up at all. When Jiang Yanshen wanted to help her up¡ª The olddy¡¯s cold eyes swept over. ¡°Did I ask you to get up? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s knee that had left the ground fell to the ground again. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with heartache as she looked at Old Madam Jiang pleadingly. ¡°Grandma¡­¡± The olddy still doted on Lin Qingqian and instructed Madam Liu, ¡°Help Qianqian back to rest.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Madam Liu supported Lin Qingqian and said respectfully, ¡°Miss Qingqian, let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian wanted to say something, but she was interrupted by Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Be good and go back to rest.¡± His low and hoarse voice sounded. Lin Qingqian looked at him for a few seconds before finally giving in. Madam Liu helped her out of the ancestral hall step by step and walked towards the vi in the dark night. It was quiette at night, and the streetmps emitted a faint light. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but turn around and see the figure in the ancestral hall. She couldn¡¯t hide the worry in her bright eyes. Madam Liuforted her. ¡°Miss Qingqian, don¡¯t worry. Although Old Madam is strict with Yanshen, her heart still aches for him.¡± Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes, her red lips curled up slightly, and she said with a faint smile, ¡°Is that so? Since it aches, why doesn¡¯t she believe him?¡± ¡°This¡ª¡± Madam Liu wanted to say something but hesitated. She smiled and said, ¡°Miss Qingqian, let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and nced at her. In the end, she did not say anything else. In the ancestral hall, the candles had shed tears all night, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer. Old Madam Jiang lit three incense sticks and inserted them into the stove filled with incense ash. She turned around and looked at the kneeling Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Do you know why I punished you to kneel here?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and met her eyes. His thin lips parted slightly. ¡°I know. ¡± Old Madam Jiang snorted. ¡°You¡¯re smart, but why can¡¯t you be more benevolent?¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without blinking, ¡°You didn¡¯t teach me.¡± ¡°Shut up! ¡± Old Madam Jiang mmed her walking stick against the ground.. Chapter 271 - 271: Untitled Chapter 271: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen looked up at her furious expression and pursed his thin lips in silence. Old Madam Jiang took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in her heart. ¡°Now that your wings have hardened, you dare to challenge me!¡± ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s calm tone was devoid of any emotion. ¡°He reaped what he sowed.¡± Old Madam Jiang swung her walking stick fiercely at his back and scolded angrily, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m angry because of Jiang Chongjing¡¯s death?¡± The olddy didn¡¯t show any mercy. Jiang Yanshen frowned in pain and lowered his long eyshes without saying anything. ¡°A mere Jiang Chongjing¡¯s death is not worth pitying.¡± Old Madam Jiang¡¯s voice was tense. ¡°But have you ever thought about Yunshen? Jiang Chongjing is dead, and Wu Suyun is dead. How will he live in the future?¡± Jiang Chongjing had been abandoned by the olddy many years ago. She didn¡¯t mention this matter because of thest bit of bloodline in his veins, and she had to consider the Jiang Family¡¯s reputation. Now, he had brought his own reckoning upon himself. But Yunshen was innocent. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s trap this time directly pulled Jiang Yunshen from heaven to hell. Jiang Yanshen also knew that Jiang Yunshen was innocent in this matter. When he first designed it, he did not consider Yunshen¡¯s feelings¡­ Old Madam Jiang was old and couldn¡¯t support her body, so she didn¡¯t have the strength to scold him anymore. ¡°Kneel here and think carefully. Jiang Chongjing indeed let your father down back then. His crimes are no doubt unforgivable. But now, what¡¯s the difference between your actions and Jiang Chongjing?¡± With that, the olddy slowly walked out of the ancestral hall with her walking stick. Jiang Yanshen straightened his back in front of the ancestral hall and looked at the Jiang family¡¯s memorial tablets in front of him. His exquisite face did not have any warmth under the candlelight, and his eyes became even colder. When Old Madam Jiang walked to the door, she was supported by Madam Liu, who hade to pick her up. When she returned to her room, she saw Lin Qingqian, who was not resting. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resting yet?¡± Lin Qingqian stood at the door, her hands intertwined in front of her. Her voice was soft and firm as she said, ¡°Grandma, Ah Yan said that he didn¡¯t do it. I believe him.¡± Old Madam Jiang sighed and said earnestly, ¡°Do you think Grandma doesn¡¯t believe him?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked, not understanding what she meant. Old Madam Jiang¡¯s thin fingers grabbed her hand. Comparing their hands, they were like dead vines and fresh willow branches. ¡°Qianqian, you don¡¯t understand him. How ruthless and cold is this child¡¯s heart?¡± ¡°Grandma, I know.¡± How could she not understand a rock that she had failed to warm in seven years? ¡°But I believe he didn¡¯t do it.¡± Old Madam Jiang sighed heavily. ¡°Forget it. Madam Liu, go and tell him to get up.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Madam Liu immediately went downstairs to the ancestral hall after receiving the order. Lin Qingqian felt relieved. ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Old Madam Jiang touched her obedient face and muttered, ¡°I hope that you can grow old with Yanshen, but I also worry that you will be burdened by the past again.¡± ¡°Qianqian, you have to remember that no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself and love yourself. It¡¯s fine as long as you have a clear conscience. There¡¯s no need to be stubborn about the rest.¡± After saying that, Old Madam Jiang said that she was tired and wanted to rest. She entered the room with a tired expression and did not let her send her off. Lin Qingqian stood at the door for a long time but did not understand what she meant. When she heard themotion downstairs, she guessed that Jiang Yanshen must have returned and hurriedly went downstairs. Jiang Yanshen had been kneeling on the cold tiles for several hours. Although there was nothing unusual about his walking, Lin Qingqian knew that his knees must have been bruised. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. His thin lips curled up slightly as he smiled very faintly.. Chapter 272 - 272: Do You Want a Child? Chapter 272: Do You Want a Child? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian hurriedly walked forward to support him and asked Madam Liu, ¡°Do you have any ointment?¡± Madam Liu nodded. ¡®Yes, I¡¯ll go get it and send it over.¡± Lin Qingqian thanked her and helped Jiang Yanshen upstairs. Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa, and Lin Qingqian squatted down to check his knee. His warm and slender fingers sped her slender wrist. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± he said in a low voice. He wanted her to pull her up. Lin Qingqian was unwilling. She pried his fingers away and said firmly, ¡°Let me take a look.¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t dissuade her, so he could only let her roll up his pants, revealing his ckened knees. Her eyes immediately filled with heartache. She blew gently and looked up at him. ¡°It hurts a lot, right?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips were filled with a smile. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t believe his words. It was already purple and ck. How could it not hurt? Madam Liu quickly sent the ointment over and left tactfully. Lin Qingqian squatted in front of him and squeezed the ointment into her palm. When she pressed it on, she even said considerately, ¡°Bear with it.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her pained expression and a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes. Her cold hand rubbed his knees with the cold ointment. Although it hurt, his eyebrows did not move. Instead, he kept smiling. Lin Qingqian used just enough strength to massage his knee, wanting to massage the ointment until it was absorbed. This way, the bruises on his knee would dissipate quickly. About half an hourter, her fair forehead was already covered in sweat, and her palms were red. Jiang Yanshen pulled her up and kissed the tip of her nose, which was covered in sweat. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Alright, it doesn¡¯t hurt so much anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go take a shower.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and let go of her waist. Lin Qingqian got up and went to the closet to get her pajamas before going to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, she realized that he had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed in a white bathrobe, his dark eyes closed. Lin Qingqian walked over and lifted the nket. Just as shey down, Jiang Yanshen reached out and pulled her into his arms. She turned her head and pressed her ear against his chest. She could clearly hear his heartbeat. Badum, badum, it beat again and again like a drum. ¡°Your heart is beating very fast.¡± Jiang Yanshen hummed faintly. Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her clear eyes filled with confusion. ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gently closed eyes slowly opened. His deep eyes met hers, and his voice was slightly hoarse. ¡°You looked like you were treating a child when you helped me apply the medicine just now. I couldn¡¯t help but wonder what it would be like if we had a child.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly surprised. She did not expect him to be thinking about this. ¡°You¡­ like children?¡± In the past, they had never discussed this matter. During the three years of their marriage, he had always taken strict safety measures. She had always felt that he did not like children. A trace of confusion appeared in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t seem to like children, but I don¡¯t seem to hate them either.¡± Lin Qingqian secretly gulped and asked, ¡°Then do you want a child?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her and said in a low voice, ¡°I can¡¯t have children.¡± This was not a matter of whether he wanted to or not. Lin Qingqian was stunned. She realized that he had been taking medicine all along. Those medicines clearly affected him. If he wanted a child, he had to stop taking the medicine. Once he stopped taking the medicine, it meant that his condition would worsen. ¡°I don¡¯t like children. They¡¯re too noisy.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s soft voice carried a hint of impatience. ¡°If I be pregnant and give birth, my figure will go out of shape and it¡¯ll affect my work. I might even have postpartum depression. It¡¯s too troublesome.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t refute her words. He reached out and touched her cheek. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Go to sleep.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that he wanted to change the topic, so she followed his words and nodded. She closed her eyes and leaned into his arms, counting his heartbeats. Unknowingly, she fell asleep. Jiang Yanshen said that he was sleeping, but he did not fall asleep. His dark eyes kept looking at her, his gazeplicated and secretive. Not long after dawn, Lin Qingqian was woken up. With such a huge incident happening to the Jiang family, she naturally couldn¡¯t sleep for long. She didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen when she woke up. When she went downstairs, she heard Madam Jiang¡¯s mean voice. ¡°It¡¯s not enough to jinx your father to death, but now you¡¯ve forced your second uncle to death. Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯re really a jinx.¡± Jiang Yanshen sat at the dining table and ate his breakfast quietly, as if he did not hear anything. ¡°Poor Jiang Yunshen, that idiot. He always wanted to treat you as his biological brother, but you caused him to lose his parents overnight.. ¡® Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened, and a faint pain appeared. Ignoring the fact that she was still in the Jiang family, she said coldly, ¡°If Madam Jiang is so concerned, why didn¡¯t you go to the hospital to visit Yunshen?¡± Li Gun turned around and saw Lin Qingqian. The light in her eyes suddenly darkened, and her disgust intensified. When Jiang Yanshen saw her walking over, he asked the servant to bring over a portion of breakfast and pulled out the chair beside him. Lin Qingqian walked to his side and sat down. Her bright eyes met Li Gun¡¯s murderous gaze, and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Madam Jiang, if you forgot what I said in the greenhouse, I don¡¯t mind letting you recall it again.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Li Gun¡¯s eyes widened, and the powder on her face turned pale from anger. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Do you want to give it a try?¡± Li Gun took a few deep breaths and finally red at her fiercely before turning to go upstairs. The servant went away after delivering breakfast. Jiang Yanshen handed her the chopsticks and said gently, ¡°Eat well. Why are you wasting your breath on her?¡± ¡°I just don¡¯t like her treating you like this.¡± Lin Qingqian took the chopsticks and muttered, ¡°Thest time she entered the greenhouse, I even felt that the ce we first met had been tainted by her.¡± Thest sentence was typical of a little woman in love. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand that was holding the cup troze. He quickly restrained his emotions and said calmly, ¡°I won¡¯t let her in there in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. After having breakfast quietly, Lin Qingqian was about to return to thepany, while Jiang Yanshen had to deal with Jiang Chongjing¡¯s remaining problems. Although Lin Qingqian was his girlfriend now, she was not a legitimate member of the Jiang Family after all. It was not convenient for her to appear for many things. After an investigation and evidence collection, the police concluded that Wu Suyun had killed her husband in a moment of passion. Because the murderer had alreadymitted suicide, this case could only be summarily closed. The Jiang Family brought back the corpses of Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun from the police and arranged for them to be ced in the mourning hall before sending them to be cremated. After Jiang Yunsheny in the hospital for a few days, he found out that Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun¡¯s corpses had been brought back and he was determined to be discharged. He wanted to burn incense for his mother and keep watch over her. The Jiang Residence was filled with white silk and funeral flowers, and the mourning hall was set up in a side hall. There were two coffins and the portraits of Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun, making it convenient for the guests to pay their respects. The wounds on Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face had yet to recover. His head was wrapped in bandages and one of his eyes was swollen. He was kneeling in front of the coffin in a ck shirt and pants. His expression was numb, like a walking corpse. He did not react when the rtives and friends of the Jiang Family came to pay their respects. Li Gun had alreadypletely fallen out with Jiang Yanshen. She didn¡¯t care about the Jiang Family¡¯s reputation, so she didn¡¯t attend the funeral. On the other hand, the olddy was old and could stand for a while, but her body couldn¡¯t take it if she kept standing. After a while, she returned to her room to rest. Jiang Yanshen stood alone in a ck suit and bowed to thank the guests foring. The sky outside had darkened. Lights lit up one after another, dyeing the quiet and sad night. Lin Qingqian walked in in a long ck dress. Her eyes first interacted with Jiang Yanshen for five seconds before she took the three incense sticks handed over by the servant and bowed deeply to Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun¡¯s portraits. The incense was inserted into the incense burner. She looked at Jiang Yunshen, who was kneeling beside her, and said in a low voice, ¡°My condolences.¡± Jiang Yunshen leaned his head against Wu Suyun¡¯s coffin and did not react. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and didn¡¯t say anything. She looked up at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°You¡¯ve been standing for a day and should rest too. No one else would being at this time.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not speak. His gazended on Jiang Yunshen. Lin Qingqian followed his gaze and looked over. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and squatted down to persuade him. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered yet. Go back and rest.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s expression was numb and he didn¡¯t react. ¡°I¡¯ll help you back to your room.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to help him up. Jiang Yunshen suddenly reached out and pushed her away, his eyes red. ¡°Get lost! Don¡¯t worry about me¡­ Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Lin Qingqian was caught off guard and fell to the ground and a sound came from her wrist. His face instantly turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes tightened. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± He strode forward to help Lin Qingqian up, his ck eyes filled with worry. ¡°How are you?¡± Lin Qingqian grabbed her wrist. Not wanting him to worry, she curled her lips and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°You¡¯re in so much pain that your face is pale. How can you say that you¡¯re fine?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s voice was tense as he turned around and walked towards Jiang Yunshen. ¡°Ah Yan, I¡¯m really fine,¡± Lin Qingqian hurriedly said, but Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t listen at all. His well-defined palm grabbed Jiang Yunshen and picked him up like he was holding a chick against the coffin. His voice was cold. ¡°Jiang Yunshen, is this all you can do? Bully women?¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes were terrifyingly red as he stared at him and bit his lip tightly without saying anything. ¡°I¡¯m the cause of your parents¡¯ death. If you have any resentment, ce it on me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined fingers gripped Jiang Yunshen¡¯s clothes tightly. The buttons of the clothes fell off, revealing the bandages on his body. He pretended not to notice and continued to hold him, his voice low and cold. ¡°If you really can¡¯t ept it, you can stab me. Do you need me to bring you a knife?¡± His other hand pped his face neither gently nor heavily. There was no hint of humiliation. Instead, it seemed to be a form offort. Jiang Yunshen gritted his bloody teeth and opened his mouth. He squeezed out two words with difficulty. ¡°¡­Big Brother.¡± As soon as these two words were spoken, his emotions seemed to have been switched on. Tears streamed down his face. Perhaps it was because his body was weak, or perhaps he was too agitated and could not stand steadily, but his entire body slid down like a ball of mud.. Chapter 273 - 273: Qjanqian, Let’s Get Remarried Chapter 273: Qjanqian, Let¡¯s Get Remarried Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Jiang Yanshen picked him up, he hugged Jiang Yanshen¡¯s shoulder with both hands, crying like an injured little beast. His saliva/ mucus, and tears mixed together and flowed onto Jiang Yanshen¡¯s shoulder. For the first time, the mysophobic Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t despise him or push him away. Instead, he hugged him and patted his back gently. Lin Qingqian stood at the side and watched as Jiang Yunshen cried until he was about to faint. She did not say a word, nor was she angry that Jiang Yunshen had pushed her down. On the contrary, her tensed heart rxed. At least from the looks of it, Jiang Yunshen did not me Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun¡¯s deaths on Jiang Yanshen. At the very least, they did not have to be like Jiang Chongyan and Jiang Chongjing back then, where brothers turned against each other and let the hatred of the previous generation continue. After an unknown period of time, Jiang Yunshen¡¯s tears finally stopped. He sniffed and wiped his tears. From the corner of his eye, he saw the person standing at the door and stopped. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen turned around at the same time and saw Old Madam Jiang standing at the door. Old Madam Jiang walked in with Madam Liu¡¯s help. Her gentle eyesnded on Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face. ¡°A dead person can¡¯t be revived. Don¡¯t be too sad. Your mother can¡¯t rest in peace if she sees you like this.¡± Jiang Yunshen sniffed and choked. Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Yanshen again and said in a dignified voice, ¡°Your Second Uncle and Second Aunt¡¯s funeral has to be done well. Don¡¯t let anything go wrong.¡± ¡°Got it, Grandma,¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded calmly. Jiang Yunshen did not say anything and knelt in front of Old Madam Jiang. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Old Madam Jiang was stunned. Then, she asked Madam Liu to pull him up. Jiang Yunshen stubbornly knelt down and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Grandma, I want to ask you for a favor.¡± When Old Madam Jiang heard his words, she gestured for Madam Liu to stop pulling. ¡°Go ahead.¡± Jiang Yunshen looked up, his red eyes still misty from crying. ¡°My mother wanted to get a divorce when she was alive. Now¡­¡± His voice choked. He took a few breaths before continuing, ¡°There¡¯s no need to bury the two of them together now. Please agree to let my mother not be buried in the Jiang family¡¯s ancestral grave and not set up a memorial tablet in the Jiang family¡¯s ancestral hall. Let me find a ce to bury her myself.¡± The Wu Family was not a big family. A few years ago, after the elders died, the remaining members of the family couldn¡¯t maintain the family. Now, his mother did not even have a family. Old Madam Jiang sighed heavily. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say. Get up.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Jiang Yunshen kowtowed and stood up with Jiang Yanshen¡¯s help. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Go back and rest. I¡¯ll get Madam Liu to send the food to your rooms.¡± With that, Old Madam Jiang turned around and left the side hall. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyshes trembled as he looked at Lin Qingqian, especially when he saw her slightly swollen wrist. A trace of guilt shed across his eyes as he said dryly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Go back to your room and rest.¡± She looked at Jiang Yanshen, indicating for him to apany Jiang Yunshen back and ignore her. Jiang Yanshen was worried about her hand, but he was also worried about Jiang Yunshen. After thinking for a moment, he finally helped Jiang Yunshen back to his room. Jiang Yunshen sat on the sofa and seemed to have copsed. His head was leaning against the sofa. From the corner of his eye, he saw the figure who was about to leave and his dry lips pursed. ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him in confusion. Jiang Yunshen looked at him with empty and sorrowful eyes and said in an aggrieved voice, ¡°Why did shemit suicide? Why did she leave me alone?¡± Unknowingly, a tear flowed out of the corner of his eye, flickering with a fragmented light. Jiang Yanshen was silent for a few seconds before his thin lips curled up. ¡°She just loves you too much.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes darted around as he looked at him. ¡°Although it¡¯s understandable that she killed Jiang Chongjing to protect you, she¡¯dmitted murder after all.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said in a low and slow voice, ¡°Even if you hired the bestwyer for her, she can¡¯t avoid being sentenced.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t care about this at all¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen said in a choked voice, ¡°I can wait for her toe out. I just want her to live¡­¡± ¡°But she cares,¡± Jiang Yanshen said calmly. ¡°If she goes to jail, it¡¯s equivalent to giving everyone a reason to target you. Her existence will be a reminder to everyone at all times that your mother killed your father. You¡¯ll be the biggest joke in the entire Lan City. The love of a parent can be deeper than you can imagine. Yunshen, she just loves you too much.¡± Although there would be a wave of rumors initially, people would forget about it after a long time. But if she was still alive, her crime would follow Jiang Yunshen like a shadow for the rest of his life. Tears welled up in Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes again. He curled up on the sofa and bit his arm, trembling. He didn¡¯t make a sound as he cried, making one¡¯s heart break even more when they looked at him. Jiang Yanshen did notfort him. He stood for a while and finally walked out of the room silently. When he returned to his room, he saw Lin Qingqian sitting in front of the table, using her left hand to pick up food with difficulty and clumsiness. He walked over and took the chopsticks from her hand. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked up at him. ¡°How¡¯s Yunshen?¡± ¡°He¡¯ll probably be fine after crying his emotions out,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied calmly. Just as she was about to ask something, he stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth with his chopsticks. ¡°Take care of yourself first.¡± Lin Qingqian finished the food in her mouth and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gazended on her swollen right hand. ¡°You call this fine?¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head and smiled guiltily. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The swelling will subside in two days.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were dark and sharp, and the veins on his face were about to pop out. If not for the fact that he was considerate about Yunshen who had just lost his parents, he would have gone over to teach him a lesson now. Lin Qingqian raised her hand and rubbed his brows. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Don¡¯t show such an expression. It¡¯s quite scary.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his bowl and chopsticks, held her small hand to his mouth, and kissed it. His voice was low and hoarse. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him in the future. Just take care of yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Her tone was a little perfunctory. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined fingers pinched her cheek and his voice was serious. ¡°Lin Qingqian, I¡¯m serious. If I see you injured again, I can¡¯t guarantee what I¡¯ll do.¡± His dark eyes looked at her, and his tone was serious. He had no intention of joking at all. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll remember. Aren¡¯t you going to feed me? I¡¯m not full yet¡­¡± She looked pitifully at the rice in her bowl. Jiang Yanshen knew that she was deliberately changing the topic and didn¡¯t expose her. He picked up the bowl and patiently fed her. When Lin Qingqian was full, he only ate a few mouthfuls of the remaining food before carrying the te down. When he came up again, there was a woman behind him, holding a medicine box. ¡°Doctor Chen, please take a look at her hand.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and said to the woman in a white coat behind him. Doctor Chen responded and walked forward to put down the medicine box to check Lin Qingqian¡¯s wrist. ¡°There¡¯s no fracture, but your muscles are injured. Stick the ointment patch for two days and take some medicine. You¡¯ll be fine soon,¡± Doctor Chen said as she took out a box of ointment patch and a box of oral medicine from the medicine box. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian thanked the doctor politely. Doctor Chen said, ¡°No need. Remember not to carry anything heavy these few days. ¡± After packing up, she tactfully took the initiative to leave. Lin Qingqian took the medicine and swallowed it, then drank half a ss of water. Jiang Yanshen took out a piece of ointment patch and stuck it on her wrist. Because it was made with Chinese medicine, there was a strong medicinal smell. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and said in disdain, ¡°It smells so bad.¡± ¡°Bear with it for a few days,¡± he said. Lin Qingqian lowered her head to look at the ointment patch on her wrist, her bright eyes filled with disdain. Seeing that she really did not like the smell of the medicine, Jiang Yanshen got up and walked to the bedside table to open the drawer. He took out a ss bottle and walked over to sit down. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Jiang Yanshen gently raised her right hand and sprayed the perfume on her wrist a few times. In an instant, the ebony incense spread between the two of them. ¡°This way, it won¡¯t smell bad.¡± The smell of the perfume covered the smell of the Chinese medicine. Although she could still smell a little, Lin Qingqian no longer felt that it was that bad. Her nose was filled with the smell of him, the smell that only belonged to them. ¡°It smells so good!¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him, her eyes shining. ¡°But what should I do when I shower?¡± She only had one hand left, and it was her left hand. She could not take a shower at all. Jiang Yanshen stood up without a word and bent down to carry her horizontally. Lin Qingqian was shocked. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you shower!¡± Jiang Yanshen replied and walked towards the bathroom. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly turned red. ¡°No, put me down. Call a servant up to help me.¡± ¡°Why do you need a servant?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and said with his lips almost touching hers, ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to enjoy your boyfriend¡¯s exclusive service?¡± His low voice was seductive, and his gaze was too hot. Lin Qingqian almost couldn¡¯t resist it. ¡°No, it¡¯s not. Get the servants toe¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen closed the bathroom door and ced her in the bathtub. He turned on the shower head and drenched her clothes. His hoarse voice spilled out from his thin lips¡ª ¡°In the past, you were the one who helped me run the bath. Now, it¡¯s my turn.¡± Lin Qingqian was on the brink of tears. What misunderstanding did he have about running a bath? Because he hadn¡¯t prepared in advance, Jiang Yanshen naturally didn¡¯t bully her, but he couldn¡¯t help but tease her for a while. Lin Qingqian was changed into a pink nightdress and stuffed under the nket. Only then did he take a ck bathrobe and put it on. He returned to the bed and pulled her into his arms. Her face was still red, as if she had painted blush on her cheeks. She looked cute and innocent. Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t bear to part with her. He lowered his head and kissed her cheek, as if he wouldn¡¯t get tired of it. Lin Qingqian was sleepy after taking the medicine. She turned her head to avoid ms mps. ¡°¡®Stop roonng arouna ana go to sleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and turned off the chandelier. There was a sleepingmp lit, and he could see the person in his arms clearly. After an unknown period of time, her thin lips curled up slightly, and his low and hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°Qianqian, let¡¯s remarry..¡± Chapter 274 - 274: Untitled Chapter 274: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Jiang Yanshen waited for a long time but didn¡¯t hear her answer. When he looked down, he realized that she had already fallen asleep. His eyes dimmed slightly, and his thin lips curled up helplessly. He carefully ced her swollen hand outside the nket to avoid being touched. He lowered his head and nted a light kiss on her lips. The next day was the day of Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun¡¯s cremation. Early in the morning, dark clouds covered the sky as if they wanted to crush the city. The drizzling rain began to fall at some point, and the sorrowful music set off the atmosphere of the entire Jiang family. It was especially sad and heavy. When the media found out that Jiang Chongjing¡¯s body was being moved, they naturally had to wait outside. However, Jiang Yanshen had arranged for security in advance, so they couldn¡¯t get close or take close-up photos. Lin Qingqian¡¯s identity was special. She didn¡¯t want to be photographed by the media, so she didn¡¯t walk with Jiang Yanshen. Instead, she walked at the back of the crowd. Jiang Yanshen was holding Jiang Chongjing¡¯s photo, while Jiang Yunshen was carrying Wu Suyun¡¯s photo and getting into the car in front. Lin Qingqian, on the other hand, got into thest car. She held the ck umbre in her left hand and she couldn¡¯t help but turn back to look at a certain window on the second floor. She could vaguely see the curtains moving and a figure walking past. On a day like today, Li Gun had no intention of appearing. Now¡­ she was toozy to even put on an act. ck cars drove into the Jiang family¡¯s cemetery in a low-key and stable manner. Jiang Chongjing¡¯s body had been cremated early in the morning. Now, a small jar of ashes was ced in the cemetery. The brand new tombstone still emitted the smell of paint. In the ck and white photo, Jiang Chongjing was still staring at everyone with his ufortable eyes, as if he wasining about his unwillingness. After the funeral, the olddy went back to rest in low spirits, while Jiang Yunshen went to pay his respects to Wu Suyun, who was buried elsewhere. Jiang Yanshen walked in front of Lin Qingqian and took the umbre from her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Begonia Courtyard. After Lin Qingqian finished answering thepany¡¯s work call, she had just put down her phone when Jiang Yanshen pulled her to the sofa. Jiang Yanshen was holding a bowl of wonton noodles in his hand. It was obvious that he wanted to feed her. Lin Qingqian took a bite and said softly, ¡°You eat too.¡± Because of the funeral, she did not have time to eat breakfast in the morning. Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°I¡¯ll eat after you¡¯re done.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have much of an appetite. Let¡¯s eat together,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Jiang Yanshen looked into her eyes and nodded slowly after a moment. After the two of them finished eating the bowl of wonton noodles, Jiang Yanshen wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue. ¡°I¡¯m going back to thepany. Stay at home and don¡¯t run around.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°There¡¯s nothing to do at home. I want to¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen passed the bowl to the auntie and turned to look at her. ¡°Do you want me to strip you naked and throw you into the room to lock you up? This threat was too great. Lin Qingqian instantly didn¡¯t dare to speak and looked at him with her bright eyes wide open. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her forehead. ¡°Be good and take good care of your hands. Otherwise, you won¡¯t be able to draw design drafts in the future. ¡± Actually, her hand injury wasn¡¯t that serious, but seeing how worried he was, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t want to argue with him and nodded obediently. Jiang Yanshen then went to thepany, and Lin Qingqian took out her phone to look at the news when she had nothing to do at home. Recently, the biggest news was about the Jiang family. Manyizens were talking about it. Most of the news had apanying photos. Even the photos of the Jiang family in the morning were uploaded. Lin Qingqian casually swiped a few pages and her fingertips suddenly stopped. A familiar figure had jumped into her eyes.. Chapter 275 - 275: Love Is to Pleasure Each Other, Not A Solo Performance Chapter 275: Love Is to Pleasure Each Other, Not A Solo Performance Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Xu Wan was dressed in a ck professional suit and holding a transparent umbre as she stood behind the reporters. Her exquisite face was expressionless. ¡°Why is she here?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with doubt. ¡°Miss Lin, it¡¯s time to take your medicine. ¡± The auntie brought over warm water and medicine. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and put down her phone. She took the medicine from her hand and swallowed it before finishing the water. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± The aunt took the cup and returned to the kitchen. Lin Qingqian picked up her phone again and looked at Xu Wan in the photo. Her eyes were still filled with confusion. White did not have a cooperative rtionship with Tianyue Group, so there was no need for her to pay her respects. Xu Wan however, would always appear outside the Jiang residence for no reason. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t think of anything and called Su Ying. ¡°Xiao Ying, help me investigate Xu Wan¡¯s background.¡± Su Ying waspletely different from when she first entered Shi Guang Studio. She had a soft personality, but she was meticulous and could easily make others lower their guard. Moreover, she was familiar with the people on White¡¯s side. It was not difficult for her to find out about Xu Wan. In the afternoon, Su Ying called back. ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯ve asked White¡¯s people. Xu Wan immigrated to Ennd with her parents when she was young. She doesn¡¯t have many friends in the country, and there¡¯s nothing special about her.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. ¡°Do you know why they migrated?¡± ¡°Her parents are researchers. I heard that they were poached by the research institute over there with a high sry.¡± Researchers? That shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with the Jiang family. ¡°I understand. It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Lin Qingqian hung up the phone. The more she thought about it, the more she couldn¡¯t figure it out. She opened Weibo and looked at the photo. She muttered to herself, ¡°What¡­ is your rtionship with the Jiang family?¡± Su Ying had just hung up the phone when she looked up and saw Han Liubai standing in front of her. She panicked. ¡°Designer Han.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was calm. ¡°You were on the phone with designer Lin?¡± Su Ying nodded mechanically. ¡°How¡¯s her hand?¡± he asked casually. ¡°Sh-she¡¯s alright.¡± Su Ying felt extremely guilty and did not dare to look him in the eye. Han Liubai smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good. This is Ren Guangxi¡¯s design. Send it to them. If there¡¯s no problem, you can arrange for a fitting.¡± Su Ying took the documents. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll contact them now.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Liubai turned around and returned to his office. Su Ying put down the documents and heaved a long sigh of relief. She patted her racing heart and wondered, ¡°Why do I feel like a double agent?¡± Designer Han wanted her to help him hide his identity, but Sister Qingqian wanted her to investigate the background of Designer Han¡¯s secretary¡­ What the hell were they doing? Su Ying looked at Han Liubai¡¯s office and realized that he was looking at her. She forced a smile and quickly lowered her head to pretend to be working. Han Liubai lowered the curtains, and the light in his eyes gradually turned cold. He turned around and walked to his desk before picking up his cell phone to make a call. ¡°How¡¯s the investigation on Jiang Yanshen?¡± ¡°I just heard Su Ying calling her to investigate you. Perhaps you¡¯ve been noticed. Stop for a while and don¡¯t do anything else.¡± After hanging up the phone, he turned around and leaned against the desk, his fingers gripping his cell phone tightly. If it wasn¡¯t for her, he wouldn¡¯t be so restrained in many things. However, the longer he interacted with her, the more he worried. In the end, this woman had be the weak spot in his heart that he did not want to touch. Lin Qingqian recuperated in Begonia Courtyard for a week. Every morning, Jiang Yanshen would personally feed her breakfast before going to work. He would call back at noon ande back early in the evening to have dinner with her. He would feed her, shower her, and blow dry her hair. In the beginning, he was still a little unskilled. But after doing it many times, he became more and more proficient and even had some insights. Lin Qingqian¡¯s hair was blown dry by him, and she couldn¡¯t help but tilt her head to look at him, her bright eyes filled with stars. ¡°I think even if you don¡¯t remain as thepany president in the future, you¡¯ll still be quite professional as a male nanny.¡± She was obviously teasing him. Jiang Yanshen put down the hairdryer, a mischievous smile in his dark eyes. ¡°I think your hand is almost healed.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t understand the meaning behind his words and nodded. ¡°Yes, so you don¡¯t have to treat me like a cripple anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. When he lowered his head, he picked her up with both hands and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you repay me for taking care of you these few days?¡± His gaze was so scorching that Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly heated up. She said guiltily, ¡°Aiyo, my hand still hurts a little¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat moved. He said meaningfully, ¡°I don¡¯t need it anyway¡­¡± The next day, Lin Qingqian was scooped up by Jiang Yanshen early in the morning. She hadn¡¯t woken up yet, so shey in his arms like a boneless corpse. Jiang Yanshen kissed her hair tenderly and coaxed her in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Grandma wants us to go over now. We can continue sleeping when wee back, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian heard the word ¡°Grandma¡± in a daze and opened her eyes to look at him. ¡°Grandma?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and gently helped her tidy her slightly messy hair. ¡°She should be returning to Jiang City. She wants to see you before she leaves.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll get up.¡± She lifted the nket weakly. Before she could get out of bed, Jiang Yanshen carried her and walked into the bathroom. Beside the sink was a basin filled with water, toothpaste, and a towel. These were all habits that had been preserved for the past week and they did not seem to have any intention of changing. After Lin Qingqian washed up, Jiang Yanshen carried her back to her room and picked out a simple and elegant suit from the closet. It would be more pleasing to the olddy¡¯s eyes. In the beginning, she didn¡¯t like it when Jiang Yanshen helped her change. After helping her a few times, she gave up struggling and even started to ept this man¡¯s humble service. The two of them then rushed to the Jiang residence to have breakfast with Grandma Jiang. The moment Grandma Jiang saw her, she immediately waved her hand. ¡°Qianqian,e and sit with Grandma.¡± Lin Qingqian walked over and sat down. She heard the olddy¡¯s concerned voice ask, ¡°Is your hand better?¡± ¡°Grandma, my hand is fine. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded and looked up at the brothers sitting together. With a dignified expression, she said, ¡°I¡¯m old and can¡¯t stand the two of you creating any trouble. Behave yourself in the future and don¡¯t bully Qianqian, understand?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t retort. ¡°Got it, Grandma.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s injuries were much better, and his emotions were much calmer. He nced at Lin Qingqian, whose face was rosy, and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Who bullied her¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Before he could finish speaking, the olddy immediately raised her eyebrows and red at him. Jiang Yunshen pouted. ¡°Got it, Grandma.¡± After breakfast, the servants cleaned up while Lin Qingqian helped the olddy back to her room to rest for a while, leaving the brothers downstairs. Lin Qingqian then helped the olddy to sit down while Madam Liu carried the packed luggage down, leaving only the two of them in the room. ¡°Grandma, there¡¯s something I want to tell you.¡± Grandma Jiang looked up at her. ¡°Sit down and talk. It¡¯s tiring to raise my head.¡± Lin Qingqian sat down beside her and said softly, ¡°Grandma, I heard that you made a will to allocate 15% of the shares to me. Is this true?¡± Old Madam Jiang smiled mysteriously. ¡°Jiang Yanshen told you, right?¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t deny it and went straight to the point. ¡°Grandma, I don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°Girl, do vou know what this 15% share represents?¡± Grandma Jiang stared at her and said solemnly, ¡°It means that you don¡¯t have to do anything for the rest of your life and have endless assets.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Lin Qingqian was not moved at all. Her voice was clean and calm. ¡°But I still don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Grandma Jiang asked with a frown. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as she said unhurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m very happy with Jiang Yanshen now, but no one knows what will happen in the future. The Jiang family¡¯s things don¡¯t belong to me.¡± Old Madam Jiang was stunned. She looked at her with aplicated and probing gaze. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯ve changed.¡± Lin Qing¡¯s eyshes, which were as thin as a cicada¡¯s wings, trembled slightly. She did not say anything although she was a little puzzled. ¡°You¡¯re no longer blindly immersed in love,¡± Grandma Jiang said meaningfully. The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°It¡¯s excusable to fall in a pit once. But if I fall again into the same pit, then I¡¯m really hopeless.¡± She didn¡¯t deny that she still loved Jiang Yanshen deeply in her heart, but she would no longer treat Jiang Yanshen as the only important thing in her life. She would no longer behave carefully around him and put Jiang Yanshen¡¯s emotions before hers. Love is about pleasing each other, not a solo performance. Grandma Jiang nodded in satisfaction. ¡°That¡¯s why I want to give you 15% of the shares.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Why?¡± Grandma Jiang didn¡¯t exin. She patted her hand and said earnestly, ¡°You¡¯ll understand in the future.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could speak again, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Yanshen pushed the door open and entered. ¡°Grandma, everything is ready. ¡± Old Madam Jiang nodded. ¡°Qianqian, go and tell Madam Liu to prepare some fruits. I want to eat them on the way.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that she had intentionally sent her away. She stood up and exchanged nces with Jiang Yanshen before leaving. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze followed her back view, the light in his ck eyes gentle and lingering. Grandma Jiang took in everything calmly. ¡°You heard what she said just now, right?¡± Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and looked at the olddy with silver hair¡­ ¡°Jiang Chongjing is dead, and Wu Suyun is dead. Finally, we can put an end to the matters of the previous generation.¡± Old Madam Jiang¡¯s mind was solemn as she sighed. ¡°We can¡¯t let the Jiang family continue to be a joke.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes. ¡°I know what to do.¡± Grandma Jiang nodded. ¡°In the future, you and Yunshen have to get along well and support each other. I hope that the next time Ie back, it will be you and Qianqian¡¯s wedding banquet..¡± Chapter 276 - 276: You ‘re Not Me, How Do You Know That 1 Won’t? Chapter 276: You ¡®re Not Me, How Do You Know That 1 Won¡¯t? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Got it.¡± Jiang Yanshen said. ¡°Just agreeing to me is useless. You have to act on it!¡± Old Madam Jiang said especially seriously. ¡°At least let me take a look at my great-grandson before I kick the bucket.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened a little, but he still said lightly, ¡°I know.¡± Seeing that he was still like that, Grandma Jiang shook her head helplessly, as if she expected better from him. After everything was settled, Jiang Yanshen helped the olddy downstairs. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yunshen also were standing downstairs. The two of them kept a distance from each other, as if to stay in their ownne and mind their own business. ¡°Yunshen,¡± Grandma suddenly called out. Jiang Yunshen went forward to help her. ¡°Grandma.¡± ¡°Get well soon and work hard. Don¡¯t hang out with those bad friends, understand?¡± Grandma Jiang reprimanded. ¡°I understand, Grandma.¡± It was rare that Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t retort and agreed obediently. The three of them sent Grandma Jiang to the car. They waited until the car drove away and disappeared from their sight. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and said to Lin Qingqian, ¡°I still have something on, so I won¡¯t send you to thepany.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t ask him why. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, Brother Chen will send me.¡± Now, Chen Mu was already her personal bodyguard. No matter where she went, she would bring him along. Jiang Yanshen nodded and sent her to the car. Lin Qingqian waved goodbye to him and rolled up the car window. Li Gun had been in her room for the past few days and didn¡¯te out. She had been relying on her servants to send her three meals a day. At this moment, she was still sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard someone calling her. She said impatiently, ¡°Don¡¯t disturb me. Get out¡­¡± ¡°Madam¡­ Madam¡­¡± The servant was still calling her. ¡°I told you to get lost. Are you deaf¡­¡± It was so noisy that she sat up. Before she could finish speaking, she was stunned. Because other than the servant, there was also Jiang Yanshen standing at the end of the bed. A trace of disgust shed across Li Gun¡¯s eyes. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. He turned his head and gave the servant a look. The servant tactfully left first. ¡°Father bought that bungalow in the western suburbs for you. It¡¯s still under your name. You can move there.¡± Li Gun was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you one day to pack up and leave the Jiang family.¡± His thin lips pursed slightly, and his voice was cold without a trace of warmth. ¡°You want to chase me out?!¡± No matter how stupid Li Gun was, she understood what he meant. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold, and his exquisite face was handsome and heartless. ¡°Anyway, you¡¯ve been Madam Jiang for so many years already. Since you¡¯re tired of being Madam Jiang and don¡¯t want to act the role anymore, I will fulfill your wish!¡± With that, he turned around and was about to leave. Li Gun couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and said angrily, ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I¡¯m your biological mother. You can¡¯t treat me like this! I¡¯m your father¡¯s official wife and the Madam of the Jiang family. You can¡¯t chase me away.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks. When he turned around to look at her, his hawk-like eyes were as sharp as knives. ¡°I¡¯ll only give you one day. If you don¡¯t leave, don¡¯t me me if the situation gets more awkward.¡± This time, he walked out of the room without hesitation. Jiang Chongjing was dead, and Li Dashun ignored her. Now, she had to be chased out of the Jiang family. She had been Madam Jiang for decades and was used to living a life of luxury. How could she stand living alone? But if she didn¡¯t leave, and Jiang Yanshen threw her out¡­ Li Gun was so angry that she went crazy and smashed everything in the room. Not long after Lin Qingqian returned to thepany, Suisui bounced into the office and said excitedly, ¡°Congrattions, the revolution has achieved an absolute victory!¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian was at a loss, totally not knowing what she was talking about. ¡°Eh?¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°Haven¡¯t you seen the news?¡± Lin Qingqian pointed at the document in front of her. ¡°Do you think I have the time to watch the news?¡± Suisui immediately opened Weibo for her to see. ¡°An hour ago, the official Weibo ount of the Tianyue Group announced that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s mother had left the Jiang family. Other than being Jiang Yanshen¡¯s biological mother, she now has nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian took her cell phone to read the press release and her bright eyes were filled with surprise. He said that he still had something to deal with, and that was to deal with Li Gun? Suisui sat down opposite her and kept talking. ¡°Not only the online media, but also the print media are gossiping about it. Director Jiang is announcing to the world that he wants to cut ties with his mother.¡± ¡°Director Jiang?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her from the corner of her eye. ¡°That¡¯s not how you addressed him in the past.¡± She used to call him ¡°Dog of a man¡± so happily. ¡°Damn it! Isn¡¯t it all because of you!¡± Suisui said excitedly, ¡°Now, Director Jiang has renounced his biological mother for you. Therefore, he¡¯s no longer a dog.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tter him.¡± Lin Qingqian returned the phone to her. ¡°He didn¡¯t do this entirely for me.¡± Li Gun had caused so much trouble, causing the Jiang family and Tianyue Group to suffer greatly. Jiang Yanshen did this to prevent future losses. It should be Grandma¡¯s idea. Suisui¡¯s face was instantly filled with disappointment. ¡°I thought he finally became a human and specially vented your anger for you.¡± ¡°Do you think you can rely on someone who could disown his biological mother for a woman?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°Uh¡­¡± Suisui hesitated. ¡°However, Li Gun can be considered to have reaped what she sowed.¡± She could have kept her life as Madam Jiang and lived the rest of her life peacefully. Unfortunately, she chose to court death and couldn¡¯t be stopped. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s not talk about the Jiang family.¡± Suisui felt that this matter was tooplicated, so she decided to skip it. ¡°What are you busy with?¡± ¡°Ren Guangxi¡¯s new album!¡± Lin Qingqian passed the document to her. ¡°They¡¯re not very satisfied with Xiao Bai¡¯s design n and so I¡¯m taking a look again.¡± ¡°Sigh!¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Originally, you and Xiao Bai could be a good couple in the fashion circle, but it was ruined by Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± ? Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t understand why Jiang Yanshen had be a target for ming again. ¡°Stupid dog.¡± Suisuimented. Lin Qingqian was speechless for a few seconds. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that Jiang Yanshen will take revenge on you when he hears about it?¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Suisui looked like she didn¡¯t care. ¡°How can he take revenze on me? At most, he¡¯ll make you fire me and make me unable to find a job! In novels, Bosses only know how to use this trick. There¡¯s nothing new.¡± ¡°I can get Lu Qinshang¡¯s father to force him to marry a woman he doesn¡¯t like or leave the industry to inherit billions of assets!¡± A deep and cold voice suddenly sounded at the door. Lin Qingqian looked up and saw the man standing at the door. A hint of joy immediately surfaced in her eyes. Suisui¡¯s breathing stopped. Her entire body seemed to be fixed by a spell. She turned her head mechanically and looked at the approaching man¡­ Jiang Yanshen!!! Suisui wanted to get up, but when she turned around and stood up, her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground. Facing Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen ¡°¡­¡± Lin Qingqian ¡® Suisui ¡± I¡¯m sorry, can you let me die on the spot??? Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s still half a year before the New Year. There¡¯s no need to be so polite.¡± Suisui ¡± I¡¯m not¡­ Don¡¯t spout nonsense!! Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. She stood up and walked over to help her up. She looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°To pick you up for lunch.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her with a much gentler gaze. Lin Qingqian nced at the clock hanging on the wall. There was still half an hour before 11 0¡¯clock. ¡°Give me a moment. I still have some information to read.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and saw her office chair. ¡°Let me sit for a while.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that he disliked the fact that someone else had sat on the sofa before. Jiang Yanshen sat on Lin Qingqian¡¯s chair, while Lin Qingqian sat on the other chair that her colleagues usually sat on. Suisui stood rooted to the ground, her legs still trembling. She wanted to leave, but she was afraid that she would kneel down the moment she took a step. Her almond-shaped eyes carefully looked at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features and she said uneasily, ¡°Director¡­ Director Jiang¡­¡¯ Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. Suisui secretly swallowed her saliva. ¡°Were you joking just now?¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t marry a woman he didn¡¯t love, let alone leave the industry. Otherwise, she would be a sinner for the ages! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°I never joke.¡± Suisui waspletely in despair. This time, she really wanted to kneel down to him. ¡°Director Jiang, Handsome Jiang, I was wrong. I shouldn¡¯t have gossiped about you behind your back. It¡¯s all my fault! If you¡¯re angry, take it out on me. Don¡¯t harm my idol!¡± Her face was red with anxiety, and her almond-shaped eyes were about to fall out. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was still cold and emotionless. ¡°I¡¯m just a stupid dog. I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying.¡± Suisui: ¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® ¡°I really know my mistake now. Director Jiang, be magnanimous and let me off!¡± Suisui begged. ¡°Don¡¯t mess with my idol. If you want to mess with me, just mess with me¡­ Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen frowned at the same time and looked at her¡­ Suisui realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly spat. ¡°What I mean is that if you want to hit or scold someone,e at me. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its debtor. It¡¯s my bad mouth. It¡¯s my fault. It has nothing to do with Lu Qinshang. Please let him off!!¡± A trace of confusion shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long and narrow eyes. He didn¡¯t understand why a fool like Lu Qinshang would have so many girls infatuated with him. Suisui looked at Lin Qingqian for help. Are we good sisters? If we are, why aren¡¯t you helping me? Lin Qingqian: What¡¯s it got to do with me? Suisui ¡°Do you want me to cut ties with you? Have you forgotten who risked her life to help you escape from the marriage?¡± Seeing that she was really afraid, Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yanshen with her bright eyes and said softly, ¡°Don¡¯t scare her anymore. Little girls can¡¯t take a scare.¡± Suisui ¡°¡­ Scare?¡± Also, we seem to be the same age!! Lin Qingqian said, ¡°He¡¯s just teasing you. He won¡¯t punish you by punishing your idol. ¡± When Suisui heard her words, she could finally put down her heart that was about to jump out of her throat. ¡°You¡¯re not me, how do you know that I won¡¯t?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her.. Chapter 277 - 277: Untitled Chapter 277: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui was afraid of him, but Lin Qingqian would not be intimidated by him. ¡°If you treat Lu Qinshang like this, just wait for him to howl at the entrance of yourpany every day!¡± Suisui: ¡°Hey, don¡¯t nder my idol!¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head. ¡°Do I even need to nder your idol?¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± Her almond-shaped eyes looked at Jiang Yanshen. Seeing that his handsome and cold facial features didn¡¯t seem as scary as before, she hesitated for a moment and asked carefully, ¡°Are you really not going toy your hands on my Lu Qinshang?¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be bothered to lower himself to her level. ¡°He doesn¡¯t need me to do anything. It¡¯s only a matter of time.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s old man was waiting for him to get married and leave the industry as soon as possible so that he could go home and inherit the family assets. Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I believe that my idol is the best. He definitely won¡¯t abandon us Maple Leaves!¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her without saying anything. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything either. After all, the obsession of a girl chasing after a celebrity wasn¡¯t something that could be exined with a few words. ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. Goodbye!¡± Suisui quickly slipped away. Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°She likes Lu Qinshang?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like what you think.¡± Lin Qingqian exined. ¡°Then what is it?¡± He asked shamelessly like a studious student. Lin Qingqian blinked and thought for a moment before asking, ¡°Do you believe that there¡¯s a kind of love in this world that doesn¡¯t discriminate between gender, doesn¡¯t mix in any motives, benefits, or even doesn¡¯t require anything in return?¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without hesitation, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you.¡± He was someone who didn¡¯t even understand love. Letting him understand other emotions was simply asking an arts student to participate in the Mathematical Olympiad. Lin Qingqian: ¡® There was no way to chat with this guy. ¡°Suisui only worships Lu Qinshang, just like how Jiang Yunshen worships you. Lu Qinshang is a spiritual leader to Suisui.¡± Lin Qingqian exined to him in another way. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as if he understood. He muttered, ¡°Your friend¡¯s aesthetic standards need to be improved.¡± He felt offended by herparison of Lu Qinshang to himself. Lin Qingqian red at him coquettishly. ¡°Don¡¯t speak. I have to work hard.¡± Hence, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything else to disturb her. Instead, his gaze swept across her office wantonly. It was very different from his own office. The air-conditioner in his office was always on full st. Other than office supplies, there was nothing else. Her office, on the other hand, had a lot of small ornaments and clothes hanging on hangers. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and focused on reading the information. From time to time, she would use theputer to check the information. Jiang Yanshen sat for a while before getting up and walking to her side. ¡°Ren Guangxi¡¯s new album styling. They¡¯re not satisfied with Xiao Bai¡¯s design. I¡¯ll have to modify it again.¡± Lin Qingqian answered without looking up. Upon hearing the word ¡°Xiao Bai¡± , Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were dazed. He lowered his head even more and when he spoke, warmth entered her ears¡ª ¡°He¡¯s so useless. You might as well fire him.¡± His low and hoarse voice sounded like he was trying to coax her. Lin Qingqian raised her head, but before she could say anything, her lips were sealed by him. ¡°Stop fooling around¡­¡¯ ¡°I¡¯ll pay for a better stylist for you, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen grabbed the back of her hand and did not let her dodge. Lin Qingqian rejected without hesitation. ¡°I don¡¯t want it!¡± Her fair fingers pushed his cheek away and she said helplessly, ¡°Alright, stop fooling around. Let me finish my work.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not kiss her again. His ck eyes stared at her without blinking. There was no wind or waves in his deep eyes, and there was no emotion to be seen. A momentter, he straightened his body¡­ Chapter 278 - 278: To Me, You I ve Been Different From Others From The Beginning Chapter 278: To Me, You I ve Been Different From Others From The Beginning Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze followed his figure up. His handsome face was slightly cold, as if he was not too happy. Jiang Yanshen walked back to the chair and sat down. His eyes were lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking. Lin Qingqian wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words. She had to deal with her work first. ¡ªKnock, knock. Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. His gaze subconsciously nced at the man sitting on the chair before looking at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Have you finished reading the information?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± ¡°Do you have any good suggestions?¡± Han Liubai walked in and asked, not avoiding the fact that there was another person in the office. Lin Qingqian pushed the information in front of him and said softly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong with the overall style, but this time, Ren Guangxi¡¯s album focuses on his original intention. There¡¯s no need to be so strong in terms of color. It¡¯s too sharp and doesn¡¯t match his temperament. Also¡ª¡± She paused and looked hesitant. ¡°I think you n to use White¡¯s new design for Ren Guangxi next season. Will this conflict with White? Will they agree?¡± Han Liubai said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already asked Su Ying tomunicate with them. There¡¯s no problem with them. Moreover, Ren Guangxi is their ambassador to begin with.¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and nodded. ¡°Alright, then adjust the color. The style doesn¡¯t need to be changed, so there shouldn¡¯t be any big problems.¡± Han Liubai put away the documents. ¡°Alright. You¡¯re¡­ going for lunch?¡± Lin Qingqian paused and invited out of politeness, ¡°Xiao Bai, do you want toe along?¡± The man, who had been looking down silently, suddenly nced at her with strong dissatisfaction. Han Liubai sensed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s displeasure and his lips curled up. He said considerately, ¡°There¡¯s no need. I asked Su Ying to order lunch for me. It¡¯ll be delivered in a while.¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you recently.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± When Han Liubai turned around, his gaze swept towards Jiang Yanshen, his gaze cold. Lin Qingqian turned off theputer and looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Alright, we can go eat.¡± Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and nced at her calmly. He stood up and walked out without a word. Lin Qingqian was stunned, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips. Was he really angry? Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t bring her too far away. The restaurant was near herpany. During lunch, there were more and more people in the restaurant. They were arranged to sit in a corner by the window. After ordering, Lin Qingqian saw that he still looked unhappy. She took the initiative to pour him a ss of lemon water and said in a friendly manner, ¡°Xiao Bai is the backbone of mypany. He¡¯s usually very serious about his work. He helped me relieve a lot of pressure. He¡¯s a very good work partner. Jiang Yanshen picked up the cup and took a sip silently, still not saying anything. Lin Qingqian did not continue to coax him. When the attendant served the food, she took the initiative to ask the attendant to ce two portions of steak in front of her. Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and saw her squeezing the lemon on the steak. She picked up her knife and fork and began to cut the ck pepper steak. The door to memory was immediately opened. At that time, he had only taken over the Tianyue Group for less than two years and was very busy. He did not have time to eat at all, let alone eat something as time wasting as western food. Lin Qingqian insisted on making him to eat steak. When he came over, he was constantly on a conference call. When it ended, he saw that she had already cut the steak and ced it on a te evenly, waiting for him to eat it together. In the past seven years, he had always enjoyed Lin Qingqian¡¯s sacrifice with a clear conscience. He didn¡¯t think that there was anything wrong with this. No¡­ And now¡­ Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and reached out to take the knife and fork from her hand. Lin Qingqian was stunned and looked up at him in confusion. Jiang Yanshen brought the two portions of steak to him and said gently, ¡°Your hand has just recovered. You still need to take care of it.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Thank you, Ah Yan.¡± A gentle ¡°Ah Yan¡± made most of the depression in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart disappear. He calmly cut the steak and ced it in front of her. ¡°Eat.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up her fork and enjoyed the fruits of hisbor. Seeing the smile on her face, Jiang Yanshen dispelled his anger. She would no longer be as obedient as before. Now, many of his negative emotions had to be digested and ovee by himself. Perhaps this was also part of love cultivation. The two of them finished their lunch calmly and ordered another cup of coffee. Lin Qingqian drank a carameltte. She didn¡¯t like things that were too bitter. ¡°President Lin.¡± A light voice suddenly attracted their attention. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen looked up and saw Xu Wan walking over. Her figure was graceful in her high heels. Xu Wan looked at Jiang Yanshen and took the initiative to greet him. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her calmly and did not speak. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze lingered between them. ¡°Secretary Xu, do you know each other?¡± The corners of Xu Wan¡¯s mouth curled into a smile as she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Director Jiang naturally won¡¯t know a nameless person like me. It¡¯s just that I admire Director Jiang¡¯s elegance as usual. Previously, at the funeral of Second Master Jiang, I wanted to pay my respects, but I was afraid that it would be rude, so I didn¡¯t go in.¡± A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes, but she quickly restrained it. ¡°Secretary Xu is also here to eat?¡± Xu Wan nodded slightly and her gazended on Jiang Yanshen. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet President Lin and Director Jiang so coincidentally.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes swept across her face. He picked up his coffee cup without a word andpletely ignored her. Lin Qingqian sensed that the atmosphere was a little off and tried to smooth things over. ¡°Since we¡¯re so fated, I¡¯ll treat you to this meal.¡± Only then did Xu Wan shift her gaze away from Jiang Yanshen and look at Lin Qingqian. ¡°There¡¯s no need. This meal is on me. Let¡¯s eat together next time. I still have something on, so I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded in agreement and watched her leave. Her bright eyes looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Secretary Xu said that she admires your elegance.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his coffee cup and looked at her. ¡°So?¡± ¡°I almost forgot that your face has always been very liked.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, her voice more or less filled with jealousy. Jiang Yanshen looked at her gently with his ck eyes and said in a low and pleasant voice, ¡°I don¡¯t like them.¡± His gaze seemed to be saying, ¡°I only like you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled from his gaze, but she still said stubbornly, ¡°There were so many people chasing after you back then. Why did you only care about me? Is it because of Grandma?¡± At that time, there were countless women wooing Jiang Yanshen, but he always appeared very cold and even disgusted by them. He didn¡¯t let them take half a step closer, let alone eat together. There was a glint in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes as his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because you¡¯re more silly and obedient.¡± Lin Qingqian: This answer was worse than if he said that it¡¯s because of Grandma! Moreover¡ª ¡°How am I silly?¡± Qingyue¡¯s voice was protesting. The smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips deepened. ¡°Aren¡¯t you silly?¡± Lin Qingqian thought of the silly things she had done when she first came to Lan City and didn¡¯t have the confidence to refute. However, she didn¡¯t want him tough at her. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, ¡°That¡¯s because I grew up in the countryside. The environment caused me to not know. Look, didn¡¯t I learn itter? I just needed someone willing to teach me.¡± Thest sentence became softer and softer because Jiang Yanshen was the person who taught her. Wasn¡¯t there an old saying that if a man saw through your sorry state and ugliness, you only had two choices? Kill him or¡­ marry him. Lin Qingqian clearly chose thetter, but the oue was a little unsatisfactory. Seeing her arguing and guilty look, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were filled with gentleness. He knew that she was not so soft and was very strong-willed, so he stopped teasing her. ¡°You can also think of it this way. You¡¯ve been different from others to me from the beginning.¡± Surprise shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes as she looked at him in a daze with her watery eyes, sweetness bubbling in her heart. Was she different from others to him from the beginning? If it were anyone else, they would definitely ask what was different, but Lin Qingqian did not want to ask. This answer was enough for her now. The rest was not important. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head to hide the curve of his lips and pretended to drink his coffee. Lin Qingqian also held her cup and drank her coffee, her eyes shining brightly. Although the matter of Madam Jiang being chased out of the Jiang family caused a littlemotion, it was not a big deal. Firstly, everyone had already guessed this oue. Secondly, Tianyue Group¡¯s public rtions department was already prepared and controlled the public opinion in time to minimize the impact of the news on thepany. The storm in the Jiang Family had finally passed, but Lin Qingqian was busy. Ren Guangxi¡¯s new album received a very good response when it was released. Lu Qinshang had almost done aprehensive promotion and resource allocation for him. There were many professionals in the industry who rmended him, sold him, and praised him. Lu Qinshang struck the iron while it was hot and held a small fan appreciation meeting for him. There were 3,000 people. The styling was naturally handled by Lin Qingqian¡¯spany. Han Liubai took charge of the styling, and Lin Qingqian assisted him. Ren Guangxi had left her a few VIP seats in advance and asked her toe. Lin Qingqian brought Su Ying, Suisui, Xiao Bai, and two other colleagues over to support him. Suisui and Han Liubai sat on her left and right. Suisui looked at the stage and felt guilty. ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯m betraying my Big Brother?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at her. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much.¡± Suisui shook her head and said righteously, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. For fans like us,ing out to watch other people¡¯s concerts and giving other people support is equivalent to flipping over a wall. We deserve to be punished!¡± Lin Qingqian: Suisui looked around and kept praying that she would not be caught red-handed by her idol. That would be awkward. Lin Qingqian shook her head helplessly when she saw her look of fear as if she was an adulterer about to be caught in bed. The fan appreciation ceremony officially began. The lights in the venue were instantly switched off, and the venue was pitch-ck, leaving only the support items in the fans¡¯ hands shining. Someone walked out from backstage and stopped beside Suisui. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Can you sit aside?¡± This voice¡ª In the darkness, Suisui¡¯s hair stood on end.. Chapter 279 - 279: Lin Qjngqian’s Innocent Blink: If I Don ‘t Sell You, My Backyard Will Be on Fire Chapter 279: Lin Qjngqian¡¯s Innocent Blink: If I Don ¡®t Sell You, My Backyard Will Be on Fire Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The lights came on. On the elevator stood a man in a leather jacket and ck pants. His hair was dyed a raven green and sprinkled with blue powder. He jumped to the rhythm of the music. The cheers of the entire venue were deafening. Lin Qingqian looked at the young man on the stage, her eyes filled with relief. This boy had finally shone for his dream. Only Suisui sat tensely in her seat. From the corner of her eye, she saw the man sitting beside her. Her mind was nk, and there were only two words left¡ªit¡¯s over. After Ren Guangxi started singing and dancing to warm up the atmosphere, he thanked thepany and the boss and thanked the fans. Then, he took off his leather coat and took the guitar from the staff. He walked to the chair in the middle of the stage and sat down. Next was an original song that he yed and sang. The entire venue quietened down with him and quietly listened to his clear and moving voice sing an intoxicating slow song. Ren Guangxi sang three songs in a row, and then there was the fan interaction segment. The emcee was a television station¡¯s emcee that Lu Qinshang had personally called to invite. He had very strong control over the situation. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at Han Liubai and said in a low voice, ¡°Are you used to it?¡± She felt that Xiao Bai¡¯s personality was too gentle. He probably liked peace and quiet more Han Liubai¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°It¡¯s fine. He sings very well.¡± Lin Qingqian was relieved. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°You have good taste.¡± Han Liubai praised. If not for Lin Qingqian¡¯s rmendation back then, Ren Guangxi would probably have given up on his dream and lived a mediocre life. ¡°It¡¯s him who didn¡¯t give up on his dream, and because of that, his dream naturally won¡¯t give up on him!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t take the credit and said indifferently, ¡°I only gave him a chance.¡± It was just like how Lu Dongcheng had given her a chance back then, and she had given Ren Guangxi a chanceter. This could be considered a passing down of the torch. ¡°Hey, hey, hey!¡± Although they were separated by Suisui, Lu Qinshang still heard their conversation. ¡°Although Ah Yan isn¡¯t around, I¡¯m here! Control yourselves, or I won¡¯t be able to stand it anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Originally, Jiang Yanshen inexplicably minded her rtionship with Xiao Bai. If Lu Qinshang spouted nonsense, she was afraid that she would face either the crazy Jiang Yanshen or Jiang Xiao Jiu when she returned. She did not want to see either. ¡°Did I say anything wrong? Besides, I¡¯m clearly his muse. He has to thank me!¡± Lu ¡°Muse¡± Qinshang raised his chin. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly as she raised the corners of her mouth and said, ¡°He indeed has to thank you. In order to make Ren Guangxi famous, you even lent him your own fans.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, Suisui¡¯s eyes widened. She turned her head and looked at Qianqian usingly. ¡°Qianqian, how could you sell me out?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked innocently. If I don¡¯t sell you, my backyard will be on fire. Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± !!! What kind of fake sisterhood was this? The smile on Lu Qinshang¡¯s face froze. He stared at Suisui as if he was looking at his wife who had cuckolded him. Suisui felt the deathly gaze of her idol. Her strong desire to live made her immediately exin, ¡°Child, you have to believe in Mama. Mama didn¡¯t climb over the wall!¡± C¡­ Child? Lu Qinshang¡¯s face immediately turned red. ¡°Pfft!¡± Suisui spat and continued to exin, ¡°Oppa, I¡¯m a Maple Leaf in life and a wilted Maple Leaf in death! I definitely, definitely won¡¯t climb over the wall. You have to believe me! She dragged me here!¡± She pointed mercilessly at her stic sister and boss. Lu Qinshang looked at Lin Qingqian with his green eyes and said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you climb over the wall yourself, but you even brought my fan to climb over the wall!!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s in face had an innocent expression and her eyes were helpless. ¡°The two of you can argue slowly. I¡¯m watching the performance. Please don¡¯t talk¡­ With that, she looked up at the stage. The interactive segment was over, and Ren Guangxi began to sing for his fans again. Suisui looked at her idol sincerely, asking him to believe that she was innocent. Lu Qinshang took out his phone angrily andined to someone. The two-hour fan appreciation meeting quickly came to an end. The fans were still unsatisfied and shouted in unison, ¡°Encore, encore, encore¡­¡± The originally dim lights on the stage lit up again two minutester, as if they realized that the fans were shouting. Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, Ren Guangxi walked onto the stage in a white shirt and ck pants. The light shone on him, making him look simple and clean. He picked up the microphone and said, ¡°Thank you everyone for having a wonderful night with me. I¡¯ll remember tonight¡¯s apuse for the rest of my life. Thank you for your support and encouragement.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down at a standard 900 bow and did not straighten up for a long time. Everyone shouted in unison, ¡°Ren Guangxi¡ªRen Guangxi¡ªRen Guangxi! ¡± Their loud and passionate voice seemed to want to overturn this summer night and set this clean and sincere young man aze. A minuteter, Ren Guangxi straightened his back and looked up at everyone. He said again, ¡°I have to thank someone tonight. If not for this person, I wouldn¡¯t be who I am today.¡± ¡°This is the benefactor of my life and the person I¡¯ll always respect. This is that person¡¯s favorite song. I want to dedicate it to them.¡± When he heard the word benefactor, Lu Qinshang looked smug. Benefactor! That¡¯s right, it¡¯s me!! However, when the beautiful ancient tune sounded, the smile on his lips froze. This was not his f*cking favorite song! On the other hand, Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows trembled, and surprise shed across her clear eyes. On the stage, the young man in a white shirt held the microphone and sang ¡°In the Mountains, There Are Trees¡± with a clear and clean voice. Lu Qinshang red at Lin Qingqian even more resentfully. Why was everyone thanking her? He was the one who gave the contract to him and spent the money. Why couldn¡¯t he thank him, his sugar daddy? He was so angry! He picked up his phone again toin!! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t notice Lu Qinshang¡¯s resentful gaze. She focused her gaze on the young man on the stage and listened to him sing¡ª On the hill there are trees and in my heart, you¡¯re shining like a star. She couldn¡¯t help but lower her head and smile. Her outer appearance was strong, but her heart was a little sensitive. Now, her wish has been fulfilled. Tonight¡¯s fan appreciation ceremony was considered very sessful. It became a trending topic from the beginning. It was especially entertaining, filled with singing and dancing, and the atmosphere was great. Coupled with his good image, he sessfully harvested a wave of passerby fangirls. Thest song, ¡°In the Mountains, There Are Trees¡±, also won the praise of many passers-by. However, everyone was more interested in who the ¡°benefactor¡± he mentioned was. Many people guessed that it was the boss, Lu Qinshang, but the Maple Leafs all denied it. That¡¯s not right! My child, who likes to dance all year round, never listens to ancient tunes!! But who else could it be if not Lu Qinshang? Theizens all guessed that it was Lin Qingqian¡­ Someizens couldn¡¯t hold back their gossipy hearts and wanted to join the Qingxi couple together again. Ren Guangxi¡¯s fans immediately denied it on arge scale. What did you mean? My brother is only grateful and doesn¡¯t have any romantic feelings! ¡®My brother is only focused on his career and can¡¯t be involved in love. My Big Brother won¡¯t like someone older than him.¡¯ Thest sentence angered Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans. These people despised their daughter for being old? They haven¡¯t even despised Ren Guangxi for being a pretty boy! Moreover, their daughter already has a match! The match was even the President of Tianyue Group, Jiang Yanshen. How many men in Lan City couldpare to him! Many haters took advantage of the chaos and brought up the matter about the Jiang Family. In the end, as soon as the topic was trending, it was suppressed. The topic was blocked as soon as it reached 500,000 views. No matter how stupid theizens were, they knew what was going on. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans smiled and said, ¡°Continue acting! Who doesn¡¯t know that Director Jiang and Lu Qinshang are friends? If you get angry, ask your Big Brother to go home and farm.¡± Ren Guangxi¡¯s fans were angry and aggrieved, but most of them chose to stop talking in consideration for their Big Brother¡¯s career. However, there were still a few extreme fans who were still scolding Lin Qingqian. The dirty words were unsightly. Ren Guangxi got off the stage. Before he could drink the water, he heard his assistant say, ¡°Brother Ren, your fans and President Lin¡¯s fans are fighting.¡± Ren Guangxi¡¯s eyes darkened. ¡°Give me the phone.¡± The assistant immediately handed the phone over and opened a bottle of mineral water for him. ¡°Why don¡¯t I tell Brother Lu and see what to do?¡± ¡°No need!¡± Ren Guangxi drank the water and roughly read the post. He handed the mineral water bottle back to his assistant and quickly typed out something. Soon, he posted on Weibo. Ren Guangxi V: Please don¡¯t hurt anyone I respect in the name of loving me, let alone ruin tonight¡¯s beautiful memories. As soon as the Weibo post was posted, there were immediately thousands ofments. Many big fans who were presentmented on how good tonight was. Why did they quarrel? Big Brother is so kind and has a grateful heart. Why did you quarrel? You don¡¯t love Big Brother at all. You¡¯re just validating your actions in the name of loving Big Brother. This is not love. This is a perversion. You¡¯re not worthy of loving Big Brother. Please get lost from Big Brother¡¯s fan club. Lin Qingqian, Han Liubai, Suisui, and the others walked out and saw a Maybach parked by the roadside. Lu Yuan was standing beside it. Perhaps because he saw here out, the car door opened. Jiang Yanshen got out of the car in a dark blue shirt and ck suit pants. His dark eyes were filled with light and warmth when he saw her. In contrast, Han Liubai¡¯s eyes darkened when he saw him. Lin Qingqian walked over and saw his outstretched hand. She held it naturally. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m picking you up for supper.¡± His gaze on her under the moonlight was gentle and loving. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. She turned to look at Xiao Bai, Suisui, and the others. ¡°You guys¡­¡± ¡°Su Ying and I will take a taxi home. Bye!¡± Suisui and Su Ying were very discerning and did not want to be third wheels. Han Liubai said gently, ¡°I¡¯ll send them back. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Other than Han Liubai, the rest of the people tonight were all girls. Naturally, he had to send everydy home like a gentleman. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not hard,¡± Han Liubai replied. He turned to look at Suisui and the others. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian watched them leave and looked up at the man beside her. ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and held her hand to get into the car. Suddenly, a voice came from behind.. ¡°Wait¡­ wait!¡± Chapter 280 - 280: It’s Clearly A Three-person Movie, But I’m Not Worthy Of Being Mentioned Chapter 280: It¡¯s Clearly A Three-person Movie, But I¡¯m Not Worthy Of Being Mentioned Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Lu Qinshang running over not far away. ¡°Ah Yan, control her quickly!¡± Lu Qinshang stopped in his tracks, his handsome face filled with anger. ¡°The money tree I painstakingly raised almost fell into her hands.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly, and the light in her eyes couldn¡¯t hide her disdain. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m talking nonsense?¡± Lu Qinshang was so angry that his nose was crooked. ¡°Go on Weibo and see for yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take out her phone but nced at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Let¡¯s talk in the car.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and got in. Lu Qinshang was about to squeeze in when Jiang Yanshen ruthlessly closed the car door, causing him to almost be caught. He turned around and got into the front passenger seat. Jiang Yanshen ¡® Lin Qingqian opened her cell phone and logged into Weibo. She saw that her private messages had exploded again. When she opened them, they were all ¡°greetings¡± from Ren Guangxi¡¯s fans. Then, she opened the trending topic and saw Ren Guangxi rifying. There was even an explosion at the end. She didn¡¯t need to ask to know what had happened. Lu Qinshang sat in the front passenger seat and chattered. ¡°Ah Yan, you don¡¯t know that she and that pretty boy Han Liubai have been whispering to each other all night. They just separated and she hooked up with my money tree. If you don¡¯t control her now, she¡¯ll really be a prairie dog.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Jiang Yanshen shot a sharp look at him impatiently. Lu Qinshang immediately pursed his lips tightly, his eyes using. I¡¯m doing this for your own good, yet you¡¯re still scolding me! ! Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be bothered with him. His gazended on the woman beside him. ¡°I¡¯ve already sent someone to deal with it. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Her small hand took the initiative to pull his hand over, and her fingertips separated his long and beautiful fingers, interlocking their fingers. ¡ªKacha! The cell phone camera captured a photo of their fingers intertwined. She let go of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand and went to edit the text and post it on Weibo. Jiang Yanshen, who had his hand thrown away: ¡® . He felt like a tool. Shenqian: ¡°After watching an exciting performance, someone came to pick me up for supper. What¡¯s your supper?¡± When she posted it on Weibo, the fans leftments: Dog food! This is definitely dog food! We¡¯re full from eating dog food! Ren Guangxi quickly left a message: ¡°Sister Qingqian, I¡¯ll treat you to a mealter! ¡± Arge screenshot of theirments proved that their Big Brother was innocent. They were purely siblings, understand?! Qingxi couple pairing: ¡°Siblings¡­ can also be together.¡± The stream was speechless. As Lu Qinshang was fed dog food in front of his face, he angrily posted an usation on Weibo! Lu Qinshang: It¡¯s clearly a three-person movie, but I¡¯m not worthy of a name. PS: Don¡¯t show off your affection to me anymore, or I¡¯ll jump out of the car! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t log out of Weibo. She saw that he had posted a message below: Jump quickly, I¡¯ll record a video for your fans. Lu Qinshang: He turned around and red at the two of them. ¡°The two of you are really inhumane.¡± Lin Qingqian put away her cell phone and curved her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you asked for it?¡± Who could he me for rushing up to be tortured! Jiang Yanshen ignored their bickering. Seeing that she had put down her phone, he pulled her small hand and held it firmly in his palm. His movements were domineering and carried a hint of childishness. Lu Qinshang turned around and covered his eyes. He couldn¡¯t bear to look. The ce for supper was a private Sichuan restaurant. Coincidentally, there was barbecue and Qingdao beer. When they arrived, Gu Xici had already arrived and ordered. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat down after greeting him. Gu Xici was wearing a white shirt today, and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing his good-looking muscles. He picked up the jar and poured water for them. As soon as Lu Qinshang sat down, he startedining about Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian¡¯s crimes. Gu Xici handed the cup to him. ¡°Drink some water.¡± These few simple words had already fully expressed his disdain for him. Lu Qinshang¡¯s mouth was dry as he spoke. He picked up the teacup and drained it. Gu Xici looked at Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian. ¡°Why did you bring him over?¡± When Lu Qinshang heard this, he felt that something was wrong. ¡°What do you mean by bringing me over? Could it be that you didn¡¯t intend to invite me along when you arranged to have a good supper?¡± Lin Qingqian rubbed the space between her eyebrows and looked at Jiang Yanshen. Hurry up and shut him up! It¡¯s so noisy! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice sounded slowly. ¡°I thought you¡¯re going to the celebration party.¡± ¡°Tsk! Do I look like that kind of person?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his chin. ¡°Is it my turn to appear at a small celebration party? That would be too degrading of my status!¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head secretly. She really should let his fans see how smug he was. Would they still be his fans? The barbecue was quickly served, and there were also two buckets of Qingdao beer. Lin Qingqian was happy to see this, but she looked at the man beside her worriedly. Gu Xici knew what she was worried about. ¡°I ordered a few stir-fried dishes for Ah Yan. They¡¯ll be served in a while.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Officer Gu is really meticulous, unlike some people¡­ ¡± Who was already mowing down the skewers. Lu Qin Shang, who was called out, said, ¡°I¡¯m eating it for Ah Yan!¡± Lin Qingqian: Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and picked up a skewer to pass to her. ¡°Eat first.¡± Lin Qingqian took it and looked at him with a smile in her bright eyes. ¡°Thank you.¡± The roasted mutton in Lu Qinshang¡¯s hand instantly lost its fragrance, and his teeth hurt as he hissed. Gu Xici looked at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°Don¡¯t you feel a toothache?¡± Gu Xici reacted and looked at Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian opposite him. He said helplessly, ¡°Eat your skewers well. If you¡¯re jealous, find one yourself.¡± ¡°Tsk!¡± Lu Qinshang sneered. ¡°I¡¯m handsome and dignified. I have countless fans. How can I find a girlfriend? But you¡ª¡± Lu Qinshang nced at him. ¡°You hang out with a group of men all day long, and they¡¯re either corpses or murderers. I think you¡¯ll chase after them for the rest of your life¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xici¡¯s eagle-like eyes suddenly narrowed and shot over like a knife. Lu Qinshang¡¯s words stopped abruptly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze lingered between the two of them as she put down the bamboo stick in her hand. ¡°I think I missed something.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Gu Xici raised his wine ss to toast her. ¡°It¡¯s rare for me to treat you to supper. Here¡¯s to the two of you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s was wine, and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s was tea. The two of them picked it up and took a sip. The three of them were smart people. Seeing that Gu Xici did not want to talk about it, they changed the topic. Lin Qingqian changed the topic and said, ¡°Why did you suddenly think ofing out for supper tonight? And it¡¯s at this ce!¡± Gu Xici nced at Jiang Yanshen meaningfully. ¡°Ah Yan said that you¡¯ve been quite busy recently. Usually, your appetite is light when you eat with him, so he specially asked me where there¡¯s good food.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect it to be Jiang Yanshen¡¯s idea at all. She turned around and looked at him with even more affection in her eyes. A certain guy by the name of Qinshang, was blinded again. He silently picked up his beer and drank it. How was thising for supper? He was simply here to be ughtered. If he had known earlier, he would have participated in Ren Guangxi¡¯s celebration party. Gu Xici did not care. Seeing that Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were doing so well now, he was sincerely happy for them. The four of them ate for almost two hours and finished the barbecue and stir-fried vegetables. Even Jiang Yanshen, who had always had a small appetite, had eaten a lot. Although Lin Qingqian had also drunk alcohol, it was not much. The tworge buckets of beer were mostly finished by Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang. Jiang Yanshen pulled Lin Qingqian up and nced at Lu Qinshang from the corner of his eye. He said to Gu Xici, ¡°I¡¯ll leave this fellow to you. We¡¯ll leave first. Lu Qinshang liked to drink, but his alcohol tolerance¡­ was worrying. Gu Xici looked at Lu Qinshang, whose face was red from drinking, and nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll call a taxi for himter. You guys can leave.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and brought Lin Qingqian back to the car. Gu Xici called the boss over to settle the bill and kicked Lu Qinshang. ¡°Hey, let¡¯s go.¡± Lu Qinshang stood up and could not stand steadily. Gu Xici reached out to support him. ¡°With your alcohol tolerance, you drink the most every time.¡± ¡°What do you know? I¡¯m just happy!¡± Lu Qinshang hugged his neck and said as he walked, ¡°I¡¯m happy to see Ah Yan living well now.¡± This ce was remote and there were not many cars passing by. Gu Xici helped him stand by the roadside and waited for an empty taxi. Lu Qinshang looked up at the stars in the sky and said in a particrly emotional tone, ¡°Ah Ci, do you know? In the past, I was always worried that Ah Yan would live a bitter life. There wasn¡¯t even anyone who knew what was good for him. But ever since he got together with Lin Qingqian, he gradually changed. He knows how to smile and won¡¯t treat himself as a work machine that can¡¯t rest a single minute.¡± Gu Xici nced at him and suddenly added, ¡°You should worry about yourself first. If you don¡¯t find a partner soon, your father will probably drug you.¡± Lu Qinshang stared at him sadly. Three secondster, he looked up and sighed. ¡°Ah! I want to fall in love too!¡± Gu Xici narrowed his eyes. A good-looking face involuntarily appeared in his mind, and his heart was filled with disappointment. An empty taxi slowly drove over. Gu Xici waved his hand and stopped it. He helped Lu Qinshang into the car. Lan Qinshang leaned against him like a boneless person and suddenly said, ¡°How about we just go with the flow?¡± The female chauffeur in front was originally still a little sleepy. When she heard him talk about this, she immediately perked up and nced behind from time to time¡­ Gu Xici On the surface, he looked indifferent, but he had already chanted a hundred times in his heart: I¡¯m a police officer. I can¡¯t break thew knowingly. Ren Guangxi¡¯s new album was released, and there was a lot of work to be done. Lu Qinshang hoped that Lin Qingqian could give him a fixed makeup schedule. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and chose Suisui to go over. Suisui looked intive. ¡°Can I not go?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°Why?¡± Suisui nced over coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve already been caught red-handed by my idol when I attended Ren Guangxi¡¯s fan appreciation ceremony. If he sees me as Ren Guangxi¡¯s makeup artist again, won¡¯t I be unable to clear my name? ¡°I see¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked regretful. ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± ¡°What¡¯s a pity?¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened as she asked curiously.. Chapter 281 - 281: There’s A Vinegar Vat At Home, How Would I Dare? Chapter 281: There¡¯s A Vinegar Vat At Home, How Would I Dare? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I originally wanted to increase your sry, and I heard that Lu Qinshang nned to apany Ren Guangxi to the variety show as a form of guidance. Now, it seems like I¡¯ll have to reconsider.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s beautiful face was filled with regret. ¡°I¡¯ll look for other options.¡± Lu Qinshang was going too? Wouldn¡¯t that mean that she could see her idol often? Suisui¡¯s eyes lit up as she hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll go! I¡¯ll go!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her with a worried expression. ¡°That¡¯s not good. It won¡¯t be good if your idol misunderstands that you¡¯ve climbed over the wall.¡± ¡°No!¡± Suisui said decisively, ¡°He¡¯s a handsome and kind person. How can he be a narrow-minded person? Besides¡­¡± She said sincerely, ¡°Everyone is quite busy. How can I burden everyone because of me? Boss, let me go!¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Suisui nodded like a chick pecking at rice. ¡°Won¡¯t it cause you trouble?¡± ¡°It won¡¯t!¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Then go ahead.¡± Suisui clenched her fists and jumped up excitedly. ¡°Yes!!¡± My idol, I¡¯ming!! Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but remind her, ¡°Calm down. Don¡¯t forget that you represent thepany now. You can¡¯t embarrass thepany.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely serve our clients with professionalism. I won¡¯t let thepany be humiliated.¡± Suisui patted her chest and promised. Lin Qingqian was not worried about her makeup skills. At the moment, there were not many people in the entire industry who were better than her. ¡°By the way, why isn¡¯t Xiao Bai here today?¡± Lin Qingqian saw that Han Liubai¡¯s office was empty this morning. ¡°I heard from Su Ying that he took leave and said that he¡¯s not feeling well,¡± Suisui replied. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Got it. Go ahead.¡± Suisui jumped out of the office happily. Lin Qingqian looked at her happy appearance and shook her head helplessly. Suisui carried her food and took a taxi to the television station to put on makeup for Ren Guangxi, who was about to record a show. Ren Guangxi had already changed and was sitting in front of the mirror. When he saw Suisui, he said politely and distantly, ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard.¡± Suisui put down the makeup box. As she opened it and took out her tools, she said, ¡°It¡¯s not hard, it¡¯s not hard¡­ You¡¯ve done the basic makeup, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ren Guangxi nodded. Suisui took out several bottles and ced them on the dressing table. As she applied his makeup, she couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Your skin is so good. It¡¯s the best skin I¡¯ve ever worked with.¡± ¡°Is that so? Thank you.¡± Ren Guangxi was usually very cold and quiet. It was only because Suisui was from Lin Qingqian¡¯spany that he answered. Suisui could not stop talking. ¡°That¡¯s right! And you sing very well. If you had debuted a few years earlier, I would definitely have be your fan.¡± Ren Guangxi pursed his lips and smiled. ¡°Thank you.¡± Suisui did not say anything. Just as she was about to put on eye makeup for him, a sinister voice sounded behind her. ¡°It¡¯s not toote to be one now!¡± Suisui felt a chill run down her spine. She turned her neck mechanically and saw Lu Qinshang standing at the door. His face was still handsome and charming, but his expression looked like he wanted to eat her up. .¡± Yan Sui, Yan Sui, who asked you to spout nonsense! Can¡¯t you put on the makeup without opening your mouth?! At this moment, Suisui really wanted to p herself. Lu Qinshang walked in with his hands in his pockets and sat down on the sofa. His slender legs ovepped, and he looked especially imposing. Ren Guangxi called out politely, ¡°Brother Lu.¡± Lu Qinshang hummed softly. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervouster. Just follow the rough procedures on the script.¡± Ren Guangxi nodded. ¡°I know.¡± Lu Qinshang nced at Suisui. ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Suisui came back to her senses and continued to put on makeup for Ren Guangxi as if she had woken up from a dream. However, she felt an inexplicable sense of pressure. After Ren Guangxi finished his makeup, Sister Chan came over to bring him to see the executive director. In an instant, only Suisui and Lu Qinshang were left in the dressing room. The atmosphere was very strange. Suisui lowered her head and carefully cleaned up the brushes and bottles of makeup. She kept begging in her heart, ¡°Hurry up and leave! Hurry up and let me catch my breath!¡± She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn¡¯t notice when Lu Qinshang was standing behind her. When she turned around, she was shocked. Her body instinctively bumped back. Lu Qinshang reacted quickly and ced his hand in front of the dressing table. Her waist bumped into his hand. Lu Qinshang did not even frown. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Is he more handsome than me?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s my child who¡¯s¡­¡± Seeing his dark face, Suisui reacted in time. ¡°No! Of course it¡¯s Big Brother who¡¯s handsome! Big Brother is the most handsome man in the universe!¡± ¡°Is his skin better, or mine?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows and asked again. Suisui said without thinking, ¡°Of course it¡¯s Big Brother! Big Brother¡¯s skin is like the freshest lychee. It¡¯s tender and smooth with the exterior peeled off. In the entire entertainment industry, even female celebrities can¡¯tpare to you.¡± This wave of ttery made Lu Qinshang feel refreshed, but he didn¡¯t show it on his face. ¡°Then are you still climbing walls?¡± ¡°Climbing walls? How is that possible!¡± Suisui said sincerely, ¡°I was born as Big Brother¡¯s Maple Leaf, and I¡¯ll die as Big Brother¡¯s Maple Leaf. It¡¯s impossible for me to climb the wall in my life, and I won¡¯t!¡± Lu Qinshang finally looked satisfied. He retracted his hand from behind her. ¡°Remember what you said today. If I find out that you climbed the wall, I¡¯ll break your legs!¡± He bent his finger and tapped her head twice before turning to walk out. Suisui was dumbfounded. She raised her hand to touch her forehead and back¡­ Oh my god! He touched me, he touched me¡­ Boohoo, I don¡¯t want to wash my face and take a shower anymore in my life¡­ His hands were so hot, and there was a faint perfume smell on his body. Boohoo¡­ I¡¯m so thirsty¡­ Suisui held her burning face and spun on the spot. When she looked up and saw herself in the mirror, she immediately felt a bucket of cold water pour over her from head to toe. She waspletely awake. ¡°No, I¡¯m a mother fan. How can I covet my child¡¯s body¡­¡± She raised her hand and knocked her little head, knocking out those charming and unrealistic fantasies from her mind! At sunset, Chen Mu drove from the busy road into a high-end neighborhood. The car stopped at the entrance of the building. Lin Qingqian pushed open the car door and said before getting out, ¡°You don¡¯t have to follow me. I¡¯ll be down in a while.¡± Chen Mu sat in the car and waited. Lin Qingqian carried a fruit basket and pressed the doorbell. The door opened after a while. Han Liubai stood at the door and watched her walk out of the elevator. His eyes were gentle. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at his pale face and haggard appearance and couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°I heard that you were sick, so I came to visit you.¡± Han Liubai took out a pair of slippers from the cab for her to change into. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I¡¯ll be fine after resting for a few days.¡± Lin Qingqian handed the fruit basket to him and changed into the slippers. She turned to look at him. ¡°You say this every time. You don¡¯t take care of yourself at all.¡± Han Liubai did not get angry when he heard her reprimand. Instead, he smiled. Lin Qingqian: ¡°What are youughing at?¡± Han Liubai ced the fruit basket on the table and poured her some water. ¡°It¡¯s been many years since someone cared about me like this.¡± Lin Qingqian walked over to take the cup and said softly, ¡°Although we¡¯re colleagues, you¡¯re already a friend in my heart. I want you to be well.¡± Han Liubai nodded. ¡°Since we¡¯re friends, can I call you Qingqian in the future? Lin Qingqian nodded without any hesitation. ¡°Of course.¡± Her voice paused for a moment before saying, ¡°By the way, I found a housekeeping auntie for you. She¡¯lle and take care of your daily life in the future.¡± Han Liubai was slightly stunned. ¡°A part time housekeeping auntie?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Lin Qingqian said with concern, ¡°You live alone and don¡¯t take care of yourself. It¡¯s too worrying. I¡¯ll feel more at ease with an auntie taking care of you.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you take care of me?¡± The words were about to leave his mouth when he swallowed them silently. ¡°Alright, let here over.¡± ¡°I personally went to the housekeepingpany to choose her. Her evaluation is very good. If you need anything, just tell her.¡± Han Liubai looked at her gently. ¡°Got it.¡± Lin Qingqian finished her cup of water and stood up. ¡°I won¡¯t disturb your rest. I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Han Liubai stood up as well, a hint of surprise shing across his eyes. ¡°Let me treat you to a meal.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not in good health, so rest well.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up her bag. ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off. Rest well.¡± Han Liubai could only send her to the door and watch her back enter the elevator¡­ He could sense Lin Qingqian¡¯s rtionship with him, and simrly, he could sense a distance in this concern. If not for Jiang Yanshen, would she still treat him like an outsider? When Lin Qingqian returned to Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen was already at home. When the auntie saw her return, she went forward and asked if they were ready for dinner. Jiang Yanshen nodded, put down the newspaper, and stood up from the sofa. As he walked towards the restaurant, he said, ¡°You came back a littlete today.¡± Usually, if there was nothing special, Lin Qingqian would return earlier than him. Lin Qingqian ced her handbag at the entrance and changed her shoes before walking over. She did not hide it from him. ¡°Xiao Bai¡¯s health is not good. I went to visit him after work.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened slightly. However, with his previous experience, he no longer expressed his disgust for Han Liubai. ¡°Where is he feeling unwell?¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled out the chair beside him and waited for her to sit down before sitting down. ¡°I know a few good doctors who can be introduced to him. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I only know that his heart is weak.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t take the initiative to tell us about his matters, it won¡¯t be good if we take the initiative and intrude too much.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and heard her say, ¡°He doesn¡¯t have any rtives or friends in Lan City. I found him a part-time auntie to take care of him.¡± ¡°A part-time auntie?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. Lin Qingqian: ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Yanshen coughed lightly. ¡°Nothing. I just thought that you would take care of him personally.¡± A hint of helplessness shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m stupid? Although he saved me before and I treat him as a friend, there¡¯s still a difference between men and women. There have to be some taboos, moreover She paused and looked at him with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s a vinegar vat at home. How would I dare?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t dare?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t care about her teasing anymore. Instead, he started settling old scores with her.. ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you agree when I asked you to fire him?¡± Chapter 282 - 282: We’re Busy and Like Each Other Chapter 282: We¡¯re Busy and Like Each Other Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions No woman would lose when it came to digging up old scores, let alone Lin Qingqian. Her red lips curled into a smile as she said unhurriedly, ¡°Since you want to talk about this, should I ask about the matter of Li Ruzhu living in the Jiang residence for seven years?¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® A trace of frustration shed across his deep eyes, as if he regretted mentioning this topic. His thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± He skipped the topic without changing his expression. Lin Qingqian picked up her chopsticks and started eating her dinner happily. Outside the window, the Milky Way flickered. The moon hung on the treetops, and a cool breeze blew into the room. Jiang Yanshen was wearing a pair of dark-colored pajama pants. He opened the window and dispersed the sweet smell in the room. When he turned around, he saw Lin Qingqian, who had already taken a shower, walking out. Her usually clean face seemed to be covered in blush at this moment. It was as red as a ripe apple, making her look very cute. He walked over and took her hand, then lowered his head and kissed the tip of her forehead. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going on a business trip for a week. Help me pack, okay?¡± His low voice sounded in her ear with a hint of coaxing. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face heated up slightly. No wonder he tormented her so much tonight. So he was going on a business trip. ¡°Alright.¡± She turned around and walked to the closet. She took out his suitcase and packed two formal suits and three shirts, each with a matching tie. ¡°Do you want to bring the perfume?¡± she asked. Jiang Yanshen sat by the bed and watched her pack his luggage. His throat bobbed as he nodded. Lin Qingqian pulled open the bedside table and took out the perfume to put in his luggage. ¡°Is there anything else you want to bring?¡± ¡®Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°What?¡± The warmth in his ck eyes was scorching. His thin lips parted slightly. ¡°You.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled, as if someone had pinched it. Before she could speak, she was hugged by Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Can youe with me?¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Didn¡¯t you always want to go on a business trip with me in the past?¡± ¡°That was in the past.¡± Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand and pushed his chest, her bright eyes shining. ¡°I have to take care of thepany now and draw design drafts. How can I have the time?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°You¡¯re even busier than me now.¡± He had already tried his best to reduce the chances of him going on a business trip in the past year and stayed in Lan City most of the time. On the other hand, she was so busy that she often lost contact with him. Lin Qingqian cupped his cheek and kissed him on the lips. ¡°Isn¡¯t this good?¡± Without waiting for Jiang Yanshen to speak, she said, ¡°I like it like this. We¡¯re busy with our individual lives and at the same time, like each other.¡± Jiang Yanshen was pleased by herst sentence, ¡°We like each other.¡± He grabbed the back of her hand and deepened the kiss. All the unspeakable emotions were ced in this kiss. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to eat alone with that Han guy. You¡¯re not allowed to be on the trending searches with other men. You¡¯re not allowed to not answer my calls. You have to video call me every night.¡± Although his arrogant and self-centered habits had changed a lot, it was still something embedded deep in his bones. The lingering and tenacious male chauvinism made him want to remind her that she couldn¡¯t touch these bottom lines. Lin Qingqian knew that he was already trying his best to restrain those bad habits, so she didn¡¯t resist these not too excessive requests and readily agreed. Jiang Yanshen kissed her forehead tenderly. ¡°Wait for me toe back.¡± The next day, Lin Qingqian sent Jiang Yanshen to the ne first and reluctantly bade farewell before returning to thepany. They had just finished a meeting and a group of people walked out of the meeting room. Su Ying walked over, her face filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but she did not speak immediately. Instead, she called out, ¡°Sister Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian realized something had happened and said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go back to the office to talk.¡± Su Ying followed her back to the office and waited for Lin Qingqian to sit down before handing the invitation letter to her. ¡°This is the package I just received.¡± Lin Qingqian slowly opened the well-crafted invitation letter and read, ¡°Timeless Brand Launch Event?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of this brand!¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her in confusion. Su Ying handed the package to her. ¡°This is their designer¡¯s information and some designs released by the brand.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but turn cold when she saw the words ¡°Yu Lian¡±. When she saw the design n, her expression hadpletely darkened. This Yu Lian was the person who ndered her for giarism back then. He had yet to apologize to her and now, he had actually established a personal brand. Su Ying: ¡°Our ¡®Light Feather¡¯ series is about to be released. Could it be a coincidence that their designs are so simr to ours?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingers that were holding the publicity book turned slightly pale, but there was no anger on her face. She curled her lips and said, ¡°Do you believe that this is a coincidence?¡± Su Ying shook her head, but her eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°But how did they know that our next series is ¡®Light Feather¡¯? Is there a problem with ourpany¡¯s people?¡± ¡°We can¡¯t confirm if there¡¯s a problem with the staff for the time being.¡± Lin Qingqian said very calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t publicize this matter first.¡± She had personally chosen everyone in thepany. Without evidence, she didn¡¯t want to easily suspect anyone. Su Ying nodded. ¡°But when they see these things, they should know. Do we need to postpone the release of our new products?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Lin Qingqian replied without any hesitation. ¡°Everything will be announced as usual. Also, contact Lawyer Liang. I need to meet him.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll call his assistant to arrange a time.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Lin Qingqian stopped her. ¡°Investigate who the investor behind this brand is.¡± Even a genius designer had to have an investor if they wanted to establish their own brand unless their family had a mine. She was very curious about who the investor of ¡®Timeless¡± was! Su Ying was very efficient and quickly gave her the expected answer¡ªDashun Corp. The general manager of Dashun Corp was Li Dashun, who was also Li Ruzhu¡¯s father. The corners of Lin Oingaian¡¯s mouth curled into a cold smile. Calcting the time, Li Ruzhu should havee out by now. She originally thought that she could have a few days of peace, but she didn¡¯t expect this woman toe out so quickly to cause trouble. ¡°I¡¯ve arranged with Lawyer Liang¡¯s assistant to meet you tomorrow morning.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Go out and busy yourself first.¡± After Su Ying left the office, Lin Qingqian took out her phone and made a call. ¡°Miss Li, I¡¯m Lin Qingqian. There¡¯s something I think you need to know.¡± The news conference of the Timeless brand was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Lan City. Other than reporters and celebrities, many youngdies and socialites from Lan City were invited to the event location. Since Lin Qingqian had received the invitation, she naturally had to participate in the news conference. Not only did shee, but she also brought Li Wenwen. Li Wenwen was wearing a long white dress with light makeup. She looked exquisite and beautiful, while Lin Qingqian was wearing a ck dress. The slit of the skirt swayed with her footsteps, revealing the golden anklet on her ankle. Compared to Li Wenwen, she had let Suisui put on very exquisite makeup on her tonight. She had fiery red lips and long dark green hair that fell down to hide her fair back. It was sexy but traditional. Standing with Li Wenwen, she did not look inferior at all. When they entered the venue, they were crazily photographed by the media. The two of them, one in ck and the other in white,plemented each other. The photo was posted online without any editing. Many passers-by saw it and asked who she was, when she debuted, and why they didn¡¯t know. Everyone wanted to follow good -looking youngdies. A fan of Lin Qingqian came out to reveal her identity. This is my daughter, not a celebrity. She¡¯s a stylist, a designer, and a female boss. Her ability was almost on par with the food circle. Li Wenwen was not on the list of celebrities that the media had obtained in advance. They were very curious why she was here. Li Wenwen¡¯s simple answer was that she was invited by Designer Lin. She didn¡¯t answer any more questions. The media reporters threw the topic to Lin Qingqian again. Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Seeing that she was deliberately leaving them hanging, the media did not ask further. The topic shifted to the matter of Yu Lian using her of giarism previously. Was attending the news conference tonight to bury the hatchet with Yu Lian? Lin Qingqian still did not answer. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°The news conference hasn¡¯t started yet. You¡¯ll knowter.¡± The media reporters: ¡® Was there a need to be so tight-lipped? Forget it, she was very good-looking. They had to quickly take a few more photos to earn more views on the Inte. In the distance, Li Ruzhu was wearing a pink gown and a diamond ne tonight. She silently looked at Lin Qingqian, who was surrounded by the media, as if she was surrounded by everyone. Her carefully made crystal nails were about to dig into her flesh. When she met Lin Qingqian, she was still a farmer who came from the countryside in tattered canvas shoes. She waspletely inconspicuous. Who would have thought that she would be more and more good at dressing upter? Now, it was even more like an ugly duckling was transformed into a white swan, attracting everyone¡¯s attention. She was jealous, envious, and hateful, and was about to go crazy. Especially since she had won Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart!! This was something she couldn¡¯t tolerate the most! Lin Qingqian seemed to sense a hint of resentment in the crowd. She looked up and swept her gaze around. Her gazended on Li Ruzhu, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up¡­ A man in a trouser skirt walked over beside Li Ruzhu. His hair was tied up like a punk¡¯s as he handed her a ss of wine. ¡°Miss Li, don¡¯t be angry. She came here tonight to humiliate herself.¡± This man was none other than the new designer¡ªYu Lian. Li Ruzhu took the champagne and snorted. ¡°Of course I won¡¯t be angry. She¡¯s caught between a rock and a hard ce now.¡± Yu Lian used her design draft and announced it in advance. If Lin Qingqian released the new product as scheduled, it would be giarism. However, if she did not release the new product at thest minute, would she be able to design something new in time? No matter what, they had won this round and even earned money. Yu Lian clinked sses with her. ¡°I have to thank Miss Li for your appreciation.¡± Li Ruzhu raised her chin proudly and looked at Lin Qingqian provocatively. Lin Qingqian was no longer looking at her. Instead, she turned her head and whispered to Li Wenwen. The news conference officially began. Other than the lights on the red carpet in the middle of the banquet living room, the other lights were announced to have been extinguished. The models who had been preparing for a long time walked onto the runway one by one. They were wearing clothes simr to Lin Qingqian¡¯s ¡°Love¡¯s Haven¡± series. The media reporters took photos and posted them on Weibo¡­ The richdies and the others revealed surprised expressions. They originally felt that the design drafts on the publicity book were not bad. Indeed they were not disappointed when they saw the real thing with their own eyes at the event location. In the mixed light, Li Ruzhu looked smugly at Lin Qingqian in the crowd.. Chapter 283 - 283: Sir, What Do You Think Of This Wedding Ring? Chapter 283: Sir, What Do You Think Of This Wedding Ring? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian seemed to sense her gaze and turned her head to look. There was no fluctuation in her calm eyes, but she raised the champagne ss in her hand to toast her. Li Ruzhu snorted coldly and thought that she was trying her best to save face. She must be gritting her teeth in hatred. Thinking of this, she felt much better. After all the models finished their walk, the lights in the banquet hall lit up. The emcee invited the designer to go on stage¡­ Yu Lian walked onto the stage and bowed to the guests, smiling brightly. The emcee handed him the microphone and was about to interview him when the tightly carved door was suddenly pushed open and four people walked in. ¡°May I ask who is Mr. Yu Lian?¡± The young man walking in front asked indifferently. For a moment, everyone¡¯s gazes were attracted to him, and they whispered about his identity. On stage, Yu Lian was also dumbfounded. He held the microphone and coughed drvlv. ¡°I¡¯m Yu Lian. Mav I ask who vou are?¡± The man in a ck suit moved his slender legs, and the guests at the scene automatically stepped back to make way for him. He stopped in front of Yu Lian and said in a cold and formal voice, ¡°My surname is Liang, Liang Yi. I¡¯m awyer from Tsunami Law Firm.¡± Liang Yi. Anyone who was not deaf or stupid would have heard of his name. In the past two years, he had been the most famouswyer in Lan City. It was said that he had never lost a case. Countless corporations wanted to hire him as a legal consultant. However, he rejected all of them and opened an independentw firm. The cases he took on would be resolved beautifully for the person involved every time. Of course, hiswyer fees were also outstanding and ridiculously expensive. But he appeared here tonight. Clearly, something big was about to happen. Everyone at the event location revealed excited gazes. On the stage, when Yu Lian heard the name ¡°Liang Yi¡± , his eyes immediately widened and he looked at Li Ruzhu below the stage for help. Li Ruzhu looked at Lin Qingqian not far away. She had a feeling that Lin Qingqian was the one who brought Liang Yi over to ruin the scene. Lin Qingqian seemed to not know that Li Ruzhu was looking at her. Her red lips curled into a smile as she looked at Yu Lian on the stage. Seeing that he was silent, Liang Yi turned around and gave his assistant a look. The assistant quickly handed him a white envelope. Liang Yi took the envelope and handed it to Yu Lian. ¡°On behalf of my client, Miss Lin Qingqian, and Shi Guang Studio, I¡¯ve officially submitted awsuit using you of giarizing my client, Miss Lin¡¯s, design drafts and damaging Shi Guang Studio¡¯s interests. This is the court¡¯s notice.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar. Their gazes instantly gathered on Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. Yu Lian¡¯s face was as pale as paper. He kept shaking his head and said agitatedly, ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. You¡¯re ndering me!!¡± He looked at Lin Qingqian with hatred. ¡°I didn¡¯t giarize her. She giarized me!¡± Liang Yi¡¯s expression was cold. He pped the notice on his chest and didn¡¯t care if he took it or not. He said in a formal tone, ¡°Save the usation of giarism for the courtroom. ¡± With that, he turned around and walked off the stage, walking in front of Lin Qingqian. ¡°Miss Lin, I¡¯ll handle this case fully. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Lawyer Liang.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Liang Yi said calmly. As long as the money was enough, it would not be a problem. ¡°Lawyer Liang, could you also help me sue Miss Li Ruzhu? She bribed my assistant to get the clothes that Designer Lin sent to me, which caused misunderstandings between Designer Lin and me and severely damaged my reputation.¡± said Li Wenwen in a gentle but firm voice. Liang Yi nodded. ¡°No problem, Miss Li. These two cases are rted to each other to begin with. I can deal with them together.¡± Li Wenwen smiled faintly. ¡°Thank you, Lawyer Liang.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee! If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first!¡± With that, Liang Yi left the event location with his people. The atmosphere at the event location fell into a dead silence. Yu Lian stood on the runway with the microphone in his hand. It was as awkward as it could be. The emcee was even more embarrassed than him. He felt that his career was over. ¡°Designer Yu didn¡¯t giarize!¡± Li Ruzhu lifted her skirt and walked onto the stage. She said loudly, ¡°We¡¯ll hire awyer to handle this matter fully. In addition, we¡¯ll also sue Lin Qingqian for damaging our reputation.¡± Everyone¡¯s gazes lingered between the two of them, feeling like they had eaten a huge melon. Lin Qingqian smiled, her voice clear and firm. ¡°I¡¯ll apany you to the end.¡± Before Li Ruzhu could speak, she heard a shout. ¡°Damn!¡± Everyone¡¯s gazesnded on the rich socialite who shouted. ¡°If I had known that you were the one who invested in this brand, I wouldn¡¯t havee!¡± Ling Shuang¡¯s face was filled with anger and disdain. ¡°giarizing piece of trash.¡± ¡°Ling Shuang, Designer Yu didn¡¯t¡­¡± Before Li Ruzhu could finish quibbling, Ling Shuang interrupted coldly, ¡°Whether he did it or not, would you be clearer than him on this?¡± Li Ruzhu and Yu Lian¡¯s expressions turned ugly. They originally wanted to take this opportunity to repair their rtionship with Ling Shuang, but they did not expect¡­ Ling Shuang couldn¡¯t even be bothered to look at her. She said in azy and arrogant tone, ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have gone to 1942 to drink. Sisters, let¡¯s go.¡± The few sisters in the same circle followed her lead, so they naturally went with her. Ling Shuang turned around and met Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes for a second. Without any reaction, she turned around and left. Lin Qingqian turned her head and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go too.¡± Li Wenwen held her slender wrist. ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Shuang brought the few sisters to her sports car. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Qingqian walking out from afar and couldn¡¯t help but take another look at her clothes. ¡°Princess Shuang, what are you looking at?¡± the little sister asked curiously. Ling Shuang retracted her gaze and said in a nonchnt tone, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Her clothes look pretty good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s indeed good-looking! But didn¡¯t you y well with Li Ruzhu in the past? Why are you helping Lin Qingqian tonight?¡± The sister asked again. ¡°Anyone can y well with the daughter of a nouveau riche!¡± Ling Shuang snorted coldly and said proudly, ¡°I didn¡¯t help Lin Qingqian. I just can¡¯t stand that Li Ruzhu. A pheasant wants to climb onto a branch and be a phoenix!¡± The sistersughed at the same time. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go drink. The show tonight was too boring.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ling Shuang started the car and sped away. Lin Qingqian and Li Wenwen got into the huge van and gave the driver the address of Begonia Courtyard. The car drove steadily on the road. The light and shadows outside the window shed in from time to time, illuminating Lin Qingqian¡¯s delicate and upright facial features. Li Wenwen couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°How do you know that the spy came from my team?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. ¡°I already suspected it when the giarism incident happenedst time, but I didn¡¯t have enough evidence. Moreover, it¡¯s your team. I can¡¯t use anyone for no reason.¡± ¡°What about this time?¡± Li Wenwen asked again. ¡°Light Feather is a series of products derived from ¡®Love¡¯s Haven¡¯. Your temperament is the mostpatible with this series, so I sent some of the design drafts to you to keep a secret.¡± Lin Qingqian said softly, ¡°You definitely won¡¯t leak my design drafts. The person who can see the designer drafts must be the person you trust the most. If it¡¯s not your manager, then it can only be your assistant.¡± Li Wenwen¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at her. ¡°Have you never doubted your team?¡± ¡°I did, but they didn¡¯t have the motive to do so.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gentle voice was filled with certainty Li Wenwen¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Looks like I¡¯ll have to learn from you about choosing people.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled humbly and did not say anything. Her cell phone suddenly rang. Li Wenwen gave her a look and turned to look out of the window. Lin Qingqian picked up the phone and said very softly, ¡°Hello¡­ Yes, I¡¯m on the way back. Alright, see youter.¡± As soon as Li Wenwen heard her words, she knew who was calling. She did not ask further and thoughtfully asked the chauffeur to drive faster. Lin Qingqian alighted from the car and walked into the house. Just as she changed into her slippers, a video call came. She smiled and epted the video call. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome facial features appeared on the camera. She smiled. ¡°Did you install a tracking device on me?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His ck eyesnded on her, his gaze deep and hot. His throat bobbed as he said, ¡°You went in this dress tonight?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Does it look good?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re not allowed to wear this in the future.¡± His voice was stern as if he was warning her. No man liked his woman to dress so sexily and charmingly, especially when he wasn¡¯t around. He could almost imagine how brazen those lecherous men¡¯s eyes were when they looked at her tonight! This feeling made him feel as though he was about to go crazy. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s not allowed in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian saw his frosty face and coaxed him nicely. ¡°I dressed better because I was going to stand out tonight and p Li Ruzhu¡¯s face!¡± Although she said that, Jiang Yanshen was still unhappy. She was dressed so nicely, but he did not get to see her. ¡°Put this on again when Ie back.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. His voice was no longer so tense and was a little hoarse. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that there was a hidden meaning in his words. ¡°Why should I specially wear it again for you to see?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer. Instead, he said, ¡°Wear it again. I¡¯ll bring you a gift, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°Could it be another anklet?¡± She tried her best to maintain a smile. Thinking of the bracelets and anklets in the drawer gave her a headache. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly relieved, but she did not agree to it immediately. ¡°We¡¯ll talk when youe back.¡± If he had ulterior motives¡­ Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t want to force her and changed the topic. ¡°Do you need help?¡± The matter had already spread online. Although he was far abroad, Song Qin was still in the country. Naturally, she informed her Boss immediately about this. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°You don¡¯t believe in my ability?¡± Jiang Yanshen thought of the things she had experienced along the way and how she had always passed smoothly. For a moment, he was not so worried. ¡°If you need anything, look for Yunshen. He¡¯ll help you!¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Lin Qingqian did not reject his good intentions. The two of them chatted for a while more. Seeing that it was gettingte, they reluctantly ended the video call. Jiang Yanshen put down his phone.. The blonde girl at the counter handed him a diamond ring and said in fluent English, ¡°Sir, what do you think of this wedding ring?¡± Chapter 284 - 284: 100 Million Chapter 284: 100 Million Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions A heart-shaped diamond shone on the silver ring, and the bottom was covered in smaller diamonds. It looked luxurious and dazzling. A smile finally appeared in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes. Lin Qingqian took a shower and changed into silver-gray pajamas before walking out. She picked up a cup and drank some water while looking at the direction of thements on Weibo. When Liang Yi sent a notice to Yu Lian on the spot tonight, Shi Guang Studio was also releasing a notice of their new line of products online in advance. Before theizens could react, they were informed that Yu Lian was the giarist. The melon seed eaters were caught off guard. There was a reason for Lin Qingqian to do this. If she didn¡¯t erase the nder for giarism at this time, even if the matter was rified in the future, there would still be ignorant people who woulde to a conclusion like this. Moreover¡ª If she did not make good use of this wave of free publicity, wouldn¡¯t she be letting down her colleagues in the publicity department? Although there was also controversy on the Inte now, she had already handed the matter over to Lawyer Liang to deal with after all. She believed that there would be a result soon. Professional matters still had to be handed over to professionals, so she did not have to worry about it. However, when she thought of the gift Jiang Yanshen mentioned, it reminded her of something. Previously, she had promised to help Jiang Yanshen design a piece of clothing. She had been so busy that she had not touched it until now. It was not easy for her to finalize the matter of the new products, so it was time to think about it. Lin Qingqian stood up and walked to the study that Jiang Yanshen had specially helped her to modify. She walked to the desk and sat down. She took out a pen and paper and started drawing. After drawing three designs in one night, she was not very satisfied and threw them all into the shredder. In the end, shey in the study and slept until dawn. As soon as the new product line was released, it caused amotion both online and offline. The ¡°Light Feather¡± series was singled out and endorsed by Li Wenwen. Luo Tianxue threw a tantrum because of this. For this, Lin Qingqian specially got someone to prepare a support car to visit the production team. It could be considered as coaxing this little ck lotus. Luo Tianxue¡¯s new movie was set in a modern setting. She was acting as a big star, so it was considered acting out her own life. It was not difficult for her, and the atmosphere at the filming event location was very rxed and harmonious. When the director saw that someone was visiting, he specially let the team rest for half an hour to let everyone have some desserts and iced drinks. Luo Tianxue walked to her seat and sat down, not looking at Lin Qingqian. Brother Ming smiled in embarrassment and said, ¡°She likes the ¡®Light Feather¡¯ series very much. In the end, you gave it to Li Wenwen. She¡¯s about to explode from anger.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°It¡¯s alright, she¡¯ll be fine in a while.¡± She walked over with an iced drink. ¡°I asked someone to specially make this for you. It¡¯s less sugar.¡± Luo Tianxue raised the corners of her eyeszily and nced at her. She snorted softly and did not say anything. Lin Qingqian sat down at the side. ¡°You¡¯re not drinking? Then I¡¯ll drink it myself. ¡± The straw was snatched away before it could reach her mouth. Luo Tianxue widened his smoky eyes and red at her. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you here to coax me? You¡¯re simply here to anger me!¡± ¡°I came to visit and even specially sent a support vehicle. If I really wanted to anger you, why would I be wasting this money?¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. ¡°So our friendship is not even worth a support car?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled slightly. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know in your heart. There¡¯s no need to say it out loud.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡® She was so angry but she had to keep smiling. Seeing that her smoky eyes were about to spew fire, Lin Qingqian reached out and touched her cheek. ¡°Alright! Don¡¯t be angry. It won¡¯t be good if you¡¯re photographed.¡± There were cameras at the event location and many staff members. It would be bad if they were secretly photographed and rumors spread that she was acting like a big shot. Luo Tianxue leaned back in her chair and drank the iced drink as she said, ¡°I think you treat Lu Qinshang, Li Wenwen, and even Ren Guangxi better than you treat me.¡± ¡°How could that be?¡± Lin Qingqian denied. ¡°They didn¡¯t pay as much as you.¡± Luo Tianxue: ¡® These words did not make her happy at all. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Lin Qingqianforted the big star gently. ¡°I specially came to visit you at work today to invite you to the celebration party. Lu Qinshang and the others didn¡¯t receive such treatment.¡± The reception of the Light Feather series was very good after it was released, so they nned to hold a celebration party to celebrate and also form interpersonal rtionships with the industry¡¯s yers. When Luo Tianxue heard her say this, she finally felt a little better. ¡°That¡¯s more like it.¡± Seeing that she was no longer angry, Lin Qingqian smiled and said, ¡°Are you happy? Luo Tianxue bit the straw and did not say anything. She heard her say, ¡°Then can you give me a discount on the endorsement fee for next year?¡± Luo Tianxue immediately red at her¡­ ¡°I¡¯m just joking.¡± Lin Qingqian suddenly felt that teasing her was quite fun. Luo Tianxue bit her lip. ¡°Lin Qingqian, I realized that you¡¯re getting worse and worse after getting together with that Dog of a man, Jiang Yanshen.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes fluttered. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°You¡¯re bing more and more like an unscrupulous businessman.¡± Luo Tianxue thought of the grudge of snatching her sister-inw and gritted her teeth at the mention of Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Luo Tianxue: ¡® How did she hear the meaning of praise in her words?? ¡°By the way, ¡®Contemporary Fashion¡¯ invited me to shoot their cover.¡± Luo Tianxue remembered something important and changed the topic. Among the three major magazines, Contemporary Fashion, Z Magazine, and Trend Guide were the mostpetitive. Right now, the most intensepetition is between Contemporary Fashion and Z Magazine. Luo Tianxue had already been on Z Magazine and Trend Guide. Only Contemporary Fashion was left. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°That¡¯s a good thing. Perform well.¡± Luo Tianxue did not look very happy. She said calmly, ¡°I heard that they have a new editor-in-chief. She used to be a designer overseas.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°There are only a few famous designers overseas. It feels strange to suddenly change an unknown designer to be the editor-in-chief.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t judge a book by its cover. Be careful not to scare yourself to death if the other party is a God.¡± Luo Tianxue pouted. ¡°It better be.¡± The two of them chatted casually for a while more before the stage supervisor came over to ask Luo Tianxue if they could start filming. Lin Qingqian did not want to disturb her filming progress, so she stood up and left. Jiang Yanshen could have returned in a week, but he suddenly couldn¡¯t return because of something and might even be dyed by another week. Lin Qingqian was a little disappointed, but she did not show it. Now that she was also a person with apany, she knew that she had no choice in many things. She could more or less understand Jiang Yanshen¡¯s difficulties. Love was the icing on the cake of life, but it could not be a necessity. Otherwise, she would be destined to be disappointed. Liang Yi¡¯s movements were very fast. He dealt with thewsuit before Lin Qingqian¡¯s celebration party and posted it online. Originally, Lin Qingqian¡¯s request was to ask for 100 million yuan. After the court¡¯s decision, she only asked the other party topensate 50 million yuan. However, this 50 million was enough to skin Li Dashun alive, and Li Ruzhu would not have a good time with Li Dashun. As for Yu Lian, from now on, there would be no ce for him in the industry. This was the first time Lin Qingqian¡¯spany was holding a celebration party, so the scene naturally had to be huge. For this, Jiang Yunshen specially got someone to empty the best andrgest banquet living room in the hotel under her name for her and even gave her wine for free. ¡°I didn¡¯t want toe. My brother insisted that Ie to support you.¡± Jiang Yunshen was wearing a dark blue suit and bow tie. After the blow of losing his parents, Jiang Yunshen¡¯s temperament was not as cheerful and carefree, but in front of Lin Qingqian, he still had a bit of arrogance and awkwardness.. Chapter 285 - 285: Puppy Jiang Is Jealous Again Chapter 285: Puppy Jiang Is Jealous Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°You came just because he asked you to. Are you his son? Why are you being so obedient?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and teased him in a good mood. Jiang Yunshen turned around and red at her. ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to talk to you.¡± With that, he turned around and went to look for the Manager to instruct him on some details. Lin Qingqian looked at his tall and thin back view, her eyes filled with a faint sense of relief. It looked like he was already much better. After a while, the grief of losing his parents should be washed away. ¡°Which handsome boy are you staring at?¡± Luo Tianxue was wearing a champagne-colored gown today. She walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and deliberately bumped her with her arm. It made Lin Qingqiane back to her senses. ¡°What handsome boy? He¡¯s just a brat.¡± ¡°Brat?¡± Luo Tianxue looked at the disappearing figure at the door and found it familiar. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡¯s younger brother, Jiang Yunshen.¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at her. ¡°Do you want me to introduce him to you?¡± ¡°Thank you, but I¡¯m not interested!¡± Luo Tianxue immediately refused. She knew Jiang Yunshen. He was famous in the circle of rich second-generation heirs in Lan City. She had met him a few times, but she was not familiar with him. Lin Qingqian, on the other hand, wanted to matchmake him. ¡°Isn¡¯t Jiang Yunshen good? He¡¯s about the same age as you and has a jumpy personality. He should be the same as you.¡± Luo Tianxue turned her head and red at her. ¡°Don¡¯t think I can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re mocking me! Besides, Jiang Yanshen is already a dog of a man. How good can his brother be? At most, he¡¯s Jiang Second Dog! I don¡¯t like him at all!¡± Lin Qingqian was amused by the words ¡°Jiang Second Dog¡±. Guests arrived one after another so she couldn¡¯t keep talking to Luo Tianxue. She lifted her skirt and walked to the door to wee the guests. Most of the celebrities in the industry who had worked with her were here. Even her colleagues in the industry were here. Ren Guangxi even specially bought a bouquet of flowers for her. ¡°Sister Qingqian, congrattions.¡± Lin Qingqian took the flowers and thanked him before handing the flowers to Su Ying. Her gaze thennded on Li Wenwen who just entered the venue. Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang hade over together. It was rare to see him not in casual clothes but in a suit. He looked handsome and extraordinary in it, not inferior to Lu Qinshang at all. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian was very surprised. Gu Xici smiled faintly. ¡°Little Six dragged me here. It¡¯s my day off today.¡± Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes. ¡°How many times have I told you not to call me Little Six!!¡± Gu Xici pretended not to hear him. ¡°Congrattions. It seems that Lan City will have another female tycoon in the future.¡± ¡°You tter me. I¡¯ll have to trouble everyone to take care of me.¡± When she spoke of everyone, she looked at Lu Qinshang. Lu Qinshang snorted and acted like he was the boss. ¡°You have to treat me better. I¡¯m going to sign a few artistes this year who are going to make me lots of money.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Alright, then Boss Lu, you have to drink a few more ssester.¡± Lin Qingqian still had to greet the other guests, so she didn¡¯t chat with them any longer and invited them to do as they pleased. Z Magazine¡¯s Vin and Trend Guide¡¯s editor-in-chief, KK, were also here, except for Contemporary Fashion¡¯s new editor-in-chief. In addition, there was an uninvited guest¡ªLi Ruzhu. In the previous giarism scandal, not only did Timeless not seed, but Li Dashun also lost 50 million yuan for nothing. Naturally, she med Lin Qingqian for it. However, she was a guest, so Lin Qingqian naturally wouldn¡¯t make things difficult for her. Li Ruzhu was wearing a silver sequined gown tonight. She raised her chin high as she stood in her high heels and said disdainfully, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you won¡¯t be able to be smug for long. Enjoy these few days.¡± Without waiting for Lin Qingqian to react, Li Ruzhu walked towards the dining area. Seeing this, Han Liubai walked over and asked gently, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let her jump around for a few more days.¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s words sounded a little strange, but even if she asked, she would not get an exnation. Hence, she might as well wait and see. Han Liubai nodded. ¡°Then let¡¯s go in. It¡¯s about to start.¡± Speaking of which, the celebration party was a formality. It was to rope in people and show off their status. Otherwise, how could high-ss people notice Shi Guang Studio and ¡®AIR¡¯? Lin Qingqian took the microphone from Su Ying and walked to the stage of the banquet hall. Her light and pleasant voice sounded unhurriedly,nding in everyone¡¯s ears like jade pearls. The speech was written by Su Ying in advance and she just had to roughly say what it meant. After finishing her speech, the entire venue erupted in thunderous apuse, and right on the heels of that was the opening dance. The original n was for Han Liubai to partner the opening dance with her. He was wearing a white suit and a red bow tie today, making his skin look even fairer. A warm palm stretched out in front of Lin Qingqian, inviting her to dance together like a gentleman. Just as Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand was about to reach out, the heavy carved door suddenly opened with a creak. Most of the lights in the banquet hall had been extinguished, leaving only a light blue spotlight on the stage. In the dim light, only a tall and upright figure could be seen, and his facial features could not be seen clearly. Like everyone else, Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze was attracted by that tall figure. The tall figure walked over step by step, and those people retreated like a tide. The figure got closer and closer, and his cold facial features came into view bit by bit¡­ Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her clear eyes, and the corners of her lips couldn¡¯t help but curl up. ¡°¡­ Ah Yan.¡± Jiang Yanshen was wearing a ck suit today. When he walked up to her, his ck eyes were warm and deep, like a vortex that wanted to suck her in. He pursed his thin lips and didn¡¯t say a word as he stretched out hisrge palm in front of her¡­ Han Liubai¡¯s arm remained stiff in midair, and Lin Qingqian hadn¡¯t looked at him since Jiang Yanshen came in. The hand that she wanted to pass to him was also ced in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s palm without hesitation. Jiang Yanshen held her soft hand and curled his thin lips. His other hand wrapped around her waist and carried her off the stage, dancing a beautiful waltz with the gentle music. Under the soft light, the two of them danced in perfect tandem. Their figures swayed, and it was so beautiful that it was as if they were filming a movie. Lin Qingqian looked up at him, unable to hide the joy in her eyes. She said gently, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that it would be a few more days? Why did you suddenlye back?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and stared at her. His thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°If I don¡¯te back, are you going to dance the opening dance with that Han fellow?¡± Lin Qingqian could hear the jealousy in his words and her eyes were a little guilty. ¡°You only said that I can¡¯t eat alone with him. You didn¡¯t say that I can¡¯t dance the opening dance with him!¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on her waist. ¡°It hurts.¡± She revealed an innocent expression and her gentle voice made Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart soften, loosening his grip. ¡°You¡¯re not taking my words seriously anymore.¡± His low voice was angry, but tnere was no me In nis eyes. ¡°I had never taken it seriously before.¡± Lin Qingqian added on fearlessly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes suddenly darkened. Before he could re up, Lin Qingqian immediately smiled and said fawningly, ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. I missed you.¡± The words ¡°I miss you¡± extinguished his angerpletely. His heart was filled with affection for her, so why would he argue with her? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sexy adam¡¯s apple clearly bobbed a few times. If it wasn¡¯t in public, he would definitely have lowered his head and kissed her fiercely. Everyone at the event location was attracted by the two of them while no one noticed the suppressed jealousy and madness in Han Liubai¡¯s gentle eyes. He was like an outsider as he quietly watched them dance in each other¡¯s arms. Seeing their eyes filled with affection while looking at one another, it was as if a blunt knife was stabbing his heart again and again. It was too painful. After the opening dance ended, the others pulled their female partners onto the dance floor and began to dance. Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t bring a femalepanion with him. From the corner of his eye, he saw Suisui standing in front of the meal, looking conflicted. He walked over and suddenly asked, ¡°What are you doing? Suisui jumped in surprise. Just as she was about to cuss, she turned around and saw Lu Qinshang. Then, her anger instantly turned into joy. ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s gazended on the cake in her hand. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of gaining weight from eating so many desserts?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not taking it for myself. I want to take them for you,¡± Suisui replied. ¡°Me?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. Suisui nodded. ¡°But I don¡¯t know if strawberry vored ones are better or Matcha vored ones are better.¡± Both strawberries and Matcha were Lu Qinshang¡¯s favorites. He did not expect this little girl to remember them. ¡°Matcha.¡± Lu Qinshang took the Matcha roll from her hands. ¡°Then I¡¯ll eat the strawberry one.¡± Suisui took a small silver spoon and ate it in small bites. Well, although she could put an entire roll into her mouth, she still had to maintain her image as a fan in front of her idol. Lu Qinshang had no interest in desserts. Regardless of whether it was strawberries or Matcha, they were casually mentioned to deal with the media. However, he did not expect her to be conflicted over such a small matter. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to dance?¡± Lu Qinshang asked as he ate. Suisui swallowed the cake in her mouth and replied, ¡°I have nobody to dance with. Besides, I don¡¯t know how to dance. Ever since I was young, other than being able to walk, I can¡¯t even run or dance well.¡± Lu Qinshang was amused by her appearance. He put down the matcha cake and took hers away. ¡°Eh? My strawberry cake¡­ I haven¡¯t finished eating¡­¡¯ Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang had already held her small hand. ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to dance.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± ¡®Wait?¡¯ ¡®Dance?¡¯ Lu Qinshang wants to teach me how to dance? Am I really not dreaming? No, he¡¯s holding my hand.. We¡¯re holding hands¡­ Such big and warm hands¡­ Suisui was immersed in the excitement of being held by her idol. Before she could react, Lu Qinshang¡¯s other hand was already at her waist¡­ ¡°Put your hand on my waist,¡± Lu Qinshang lowered his head and whispered in her ear. Suisui came back to her senses and felt half of her body go numb. Her mind was also nk. She gulped silently, her voice trembling. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need, Big Brother¡­ I¡¯m not worthy¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qinshang had already picked up her hand and ced it on his waist. ¡°As a fan of the King of Dance, how can you not know how to dance!¡± Her slender and fair fingersnded on his waist through his clothes. When she felt her idol¡¯s firm and muscr waist, something exploded in her mind. There was only one thought: Mom, I¡¯m going to die tonight..o Chapter 286 - 286: Silly White Sweet VS Little Black Lotus Chapter 286: Silly White Sweet VS Little ck Lotus Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Gu Xici held a wine ss and looked at Lu Qinshang on the dance floor with a girl whose body was as stiff as a block of wood. He couldn¡¯t help but smile. It seemed like he didn¡¯t even want to let his fans off. Lu Qinshang was really something. Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t go to dance either. He stood at the side and drank. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you dancing?¡± Gu Xici clinked sses with him. Jiang Yunshen looked dispirited. ¡°It¡¯s boring.¡± Gu Xici nced at Luo Tianxue, who was standing not far away. ¡°She has a good rtionship with Qingqian. Aren¡¯t you going to say hello?¡± Jiang Yunshen nced at her from the corner of his eye and became even more uninterested. ¡°She¡¯s not my type.¡± The music at the event wasn¡¯t that loud, and they weren¡¯t far away. Therefore, Jiang Yunshen¡¯s words jumped into Luo Tianxue¡¯s ears word by word. Although she had no feelings for Jiang Yunshen, this second-generation heir, it did not mean that she could ept that Jiang Yunshen looked down on her. Besides, what right did he have to look down on her? Luo Tianxue finished the champagne in one gulp, put down the ss, and walked towards them. Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t help but look at each other when they saw her walking over. Luo Tianxue walked up to him and asked softly, ¡°Um, can you dance with me?¡± She was talking to Gu Xici. When Jiang Yunshen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and gave him a gloating look. Gu Xici frowned slightly and said in a low voice, ¡°Sorry, I¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Luo Tianxue suddenly twisted her ankle and fell to the side. As gentlemen, Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen naturally reached out to help her. Jiang Yunshen was closer, so when he reached out to hold her, Luo Tianxue fell into his arms. A faint fragrance immediately engulfed his nose. His warm fingertips were also touching her warm skin as an indescribable emotion instantly wrapped around his heart. Luo Tianxue¡¯s fair fingers gripped Jiang Yunshen¡¯s arm tightly. After barely stabilizing herself, she looked up at him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, thank you.¡± She stood up straight and took two steps back to put some distance between them. It was not the first time Jiang Yunshen had seen Luo Tianxue, but he had only nced at her in the past. He had seen many beautiful female celebrities, so she wasn¡¯t very impressionable, but¡ª This was the first time he had seen her up close. He realized that¡­ she seemed to be more exquisite than he had imagined. Luo Tianxue¡¯s face turned slightly pale, but she tried her best to maintain her smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to disturb you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Since she had probably sprained her ankle, her footsteps were a little slow and strange. Jiang Yunshen looked at her slender and graceful back. For some reason, he walked forward and held her arm. ¡°Is your foot okay? Do you want me to help you to the rest area to rest?¡± Luo Tianxue looked up at him innocently. ¡°No need to trouble yourself. I can go by myself.¡± The gentler and stronger she appeared, the more Jiang Yunshen wanted to protect her. ¡°You¡¯re a guest invited by my sister-inw. It¡¯s only right for me to take care of you. It¡¯s not troublesome at all.¡± Luo Tianxue smiled. ¡°I see. Thank you.¡± Jiang Yunshen was shaken by her smile, and his ears inexplicably burned. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Luo Tianxue lowered her head, the smile on her face disappearing in an instant. Gu Xici looked at Jiang Yunshen, who was helping Luo Tianxue leave, and couldn¡¯t help but shake his head. This child was still too young. The protagonist of the celebration party was pressed against the wall of an empty hall next to the banquet hall. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hot breath sprayed on her face before his dry lipsnded on hers like a storm. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for the past few days. Thus, it was as if he wanted to tell her how much he missed her through this kiss. In the pitch-ck darkness, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t see anything and her hearing and sense of smell were magnified as a result. His heart was pounding like a drum and his intoxicating manly pheromones surrounded her. After an unknown period of time, Jiang Yanshen finally stopped. He rested his chin on her shoulder and muttered hoarsely, ¡®Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was very hot, and her heart was beating very fast. She hugged his firm waist tightly with both hands and hummed softly. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± He called her again and again as if he didn¡¯t know when to stop. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing gradually calmed down, and her voice was so gentle that it could drip water. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I missed you.¡± The heat on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face, which had just faded, rose again because of his ¡°I miss you¡±. It went all the way to her heart, burning. At this moment, she was hugging this man. She was no longer as humble as before. She even felt that it was unreal. She then turned her head and kissed him on the cheek. ¡°We should go out.¡± If everyone realized that they were gone, it would arouse suspicion. Jiang Yanshen hugged her and couldn¡¯t bear to let go. He wished he could rub her into his bones and blood so that they wouldn¡¯t be separated no matter where they went. Lin Qingqian could feel his intense and burning emotions. She raised her head and kissed his chin. ¡°Go out first and wait for the celebration party to end before returning to Begonia Courtyard.¡± She was coaxing him gently. Jiang Yanshen reluctantly let go of her and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Go out first.¡± Lin Qingqian asked curiously, ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t exin. Instead, he leaned against her cheek and said, ¡°Be good.¡± Realizing something, her red lips curled up slightly as she said softly, ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Qingqian then tidied up her gown and hair. As soon as she walked out of the half-opened door, she was met with a woman who came out of the banquet hall opposite. She was wearing a long purple V-neck dress and an expensive diamond ne. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was scattered with nobility and elegance, but when she saw Lin Qingqian, her eyes were filled with disdain. Lin Qingqian was also stunned when she saw her. The two of them looked at each other silently for a moment, and neither of them broke the awkward silence. Jiang Yanshen opened the door and saw Lin Qingqian still standing at the door. His ck eyes were filled with confusion. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± His long arm naturally wrapped around her shoulder, and his gaze followed her gaze to the woman standing at the door opposite. The woman¡¯s eyes lit up when she saw him. Her slightly pursed red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Director Jiang, do you still remember me?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze didn¡¯t linger on her for more than three seconds. When he retracted his gaze, his voice was cold. ¡°I don¡¯t remember.¡± Hearing him say this, the woman wasn¡¯t angry. She said in a light voice, ¡°I¡¯m Ming Xiao, and also¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s senior.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s gaze sharpened at the mention of the word ¡°senior¡±. Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes were as calm as ever. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she maintained a polite smile. ¡°Senior Ming, long time no see. Ming Xiao said meaningfully, ¡°It¡¯s indeed been a long time.¡± She paused for a moment and said, ¡°I just came back from France. Tonight, my father specially organized this wee banquet for me. I originally invited Director Jiang, but Secretary Song said that Director Jiang isn¡¯t in Lan City. I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡¯ She didn¡¯t say the rest. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t react to her words. He was so cold that it was as if he didn¡¯t see this person¡¯s existence. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°He just came back.¡± Ming Xiao nodded. She was neither angry nor disappointed. ¡°I heard that the two of you are divorced?¡± ¡°Senior Ming has been overseas for so long and still cares about us so much. Then, you should have heard that we¡¯ve gotten back together.¡± Lin Qingqian replied calmly. ¡°Really?¡± Ming Xiao smiled nonchntly. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of it, but it¡¯s normal for men and women to get together and part.¡± These words were clearly hinting that Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen would still break up. Jiang Yanshen frowned coldly. When he looked up, Ming Xiao said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m going to the washroom. Excuse me.¡± Without giving Jiang Yanshen a chance to speak, she turned around and left. Although Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change much, a trace of gloominess and contemtion shed past her eyes. Ming Xiao. These two words did not bring back positive memories for her. So this was what Li Ruzhu meant by not being smug for long? Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw Li Ruzhu, who had been standing at the door and spying on everything. Her eyes were filled with anticipation and provocation. It was probably because of Ming Xiao¡¯s appearance that Lin Qingqian was distracted in the second half of the celebration party. Even the joy of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s return was washed away. Jiang Yanshen noticed it, but he didn¡¯t say anything. . Why did the sudden appearance of a woman make her feel so uneasy? Jiang Yunshen helped Luo Tianxue sit down in the resting area outside. His gazended on her ankle. ¡°Is your foot alright?¡± Luo Tianxue rubbed her ankle. ¡°I¡¯m fine now. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes shed with surprise. ¡°You know me?¡± Luo Tianxue revealed a sweet smile. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve seen you twice at a gathering in the past. Your canine tooth is very cute.¡± Jiang Yunshen was often praised for being handsome and liked by others. Now that he was praised for being cute, and it was the canine tooth that he had always wanted to take off but did not dare to, a different emotion suddenly surged in his heart. ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Tianxue looked at him sincerely and nodded. Jiang Yunshen lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly. Luo Tianxue stood up and said, ¡°My foot still hurts a little, so I think I¡¯m going home to rest. Please help me tell Qianqian.¡± Jiang Yunshen said worriedly, ¡°Is the chauffeur waiting for you outside?¡± Luo Tianxue shook her head. ¡°I drove here by myself today.¡± Jiang Yunshen frowned. ¡°But can you drive in this state?¡± ¡°I can take a taxi,¡± Luo Tianxue replied with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s even more impossible.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face was solemn. After a moment, he realized that his reaction was too big and hurriedly exined, ¡°I mean that you¡¯re a public figure. It¡¯s not convenient or safe to take a taxi sote at night.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll call my manager to pick me up.¡± Luo Tianxue pretended to take out her cell phone. Jiang Yunshen only hesitated for five seconds before saying, ¡°Why don¡¯t I send you back?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Luo Tianxue looked up, her smoky eyes filled with innocence. ¡°That¡¯s not good. I¡¯ve troubled you too much.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. You¡¯re Sister-inw¡¯s friend, so it¡¯s only right.¡± Jiang Yunshen put away his usual attitude and spouted nonsense seriously. Luo Tianxue¡¯s sweet voice said, ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Jiang Yunshen then held her arm. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lu Qinshang, on the other hand, sent Suisui back like a gentleman. Although his feet had been stepped on the entire night, he wasn¡¯t offended. Furthermore, she was his fan, so he naturally wouldn¡¯t take it to heart. On the other hand, Suisui was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in. She had let down all the Maple Leaves and was even less worthy of being a fan now. Boohoo¡­ In the dead of night, everyone dispersed. Lin Qingqian was so tired that Jiang Yanshen had to carry her into the car and to Begonia Courtyard.. Chapter 287 - 287: Ming Xiao Pursued You In The Past Chapter 287: Ming Xiao Pursued You In The Past Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Jiang Yanshen walked out of the bathroom, there was only one floormp lit in the room. The dim light barely illuminated her small face, as if it was covered in ayer 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 nced 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 eyshes 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 thoseplicated thoughts before saying, ¡°You epted 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 ept 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 btedly 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 be so fierce? Jiang Yanshen looked at her delicate face with his ck 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 waspletely dumbfounded. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined fingers bent slightly and flicked her forehead. ¡°Back then, you lost thepetition and got into the car crying. I saw that the cake in her hand was your favorite, so I epted 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 ce 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 erged 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 onlysted 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 vi. 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 outughing. ¡°What are you thinking? I¡¯m just teasing that fool. How can I really like him?¡± Lu Dongcheng¡¯s brows rxed 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 ying 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 cab. ¡°On the surface, Jiang Yanshen despises this younger brother, but in private, he cares about him. If you anger him, don¡¯t me 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 ss of water and handed it to her. ¡°I¡¯ll introduce you to a few good onester. 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 andmine. 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 roomter. 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 ced her right hand in front of her eyes. A diamond ring had appeared on her ring finger. His warm breathnded on her cheek, and his low andzy voice sounded. ¡°Do you like this gift?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curly eyshes fluttered, but she didn¡¯t answer him. She only lifted the nket 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.. Chapter 288 - 288: He Wanted to See Her, So He Came Chapter 288: He Wanted to See Her, So He Came Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian stood in front of the sink and sshed cold water on her face. Her dizzy mind instantly cleared up. From the corner of her eye, she looked at her right hand. The exquisite diamond shone with a dazzling luster. If it was in the past, she would definitely be happy, but now¡ª She slowly took off the ring and ced it in front of the sink. She looked up at her small face in the mirror that was covered in water droplets. The hand on the sink slowly curled into a fist. She wasn¡¯t ready to enter a marriage rtionship with Jiang Yanshen again. During breakfast, Jiang Yanshen saw that there was no diamond ring on her right ring finger and his eyes darkened. Regarding the diamond ring, the two of them tacitly refused to mention it as if it had never happened. After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen sent her to work as usual. When Lin Qingqian got out of the car, she even gave him a kiss goodbye! Jiang Yanshen smiled as he watched her back view into thepany. The smile on his thin lips suddenly darkened as he instructed Lu Yuan, who was in the front passenger seat, coldly, ¡°Go and investigate that girl called Ming Xiao.¡± Lin Qingqian had just entered the office when Suisui rushed in and said pitifully, ¡°Qianqian.. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian put down her handbag and sat down before looking at her. ¡°I danced with Lu Qinshang yesterday!¡± Suisui also sat down. Her hands were on the table, and her chin was on her hands. She looked pitiful like a cute puppy. Lin Qingqian replied absent-mindedly, ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve taken advantage of your idol!¡± Suisui bared her teeth. ¡°How can you say that? I¡¯m a standard Mama fan. How can I crave my baby¡¯s body!¡± Lin Qingqian turned on theputer and nced at her from the corner of her eye. ¡°Then what exactly happened to you?¡± At the thought of her idol expelling her as a fan, she looked like she had nothing to live for. Lin Qingqian was speechless for a moment before saying, ¡°Isn¡¯t there a popr saying about idols and their fans? She thought for a moment. ¡°An idol needs to stay away from his fan¡¯s life. He was the one who asked you to dancest night. Hence, he doesn¡¯t have the right to expel you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes were instantly ignited with hope. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Why don¡¯t I call him and ask?¡± ¡°No need!¡± Suisui immediately refused. She grabbed her desk with both hands and muttered, ¡°It won¡¯t be good if he¡¯s busy and you disturb him. Or perhaps he didn¡¯t care about being stepped on but your call only reminded him about it and he decided to pursue the matter?¡± Lin Qingqian: It was really a headache to have an idol-chasing best friend! Su Ying walked in with coffee. When she saw Suisui lying on the table listlessly, she was a little curious. ¡°Sister Qingqian, what¡¯s wrong with Suisui?¡± Lin Qingqian took the coffee she handed over and nced at Suisui. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. Girls who chase after celebrities will always have a few days like this.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Su Ying thought of something and said, ¡°By the way, Sister Qingqian, today is the day Contemporary Fashion is released. In the end, they openly criticized us in the magazine. Now, everyone is talking about this on the Inte.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly. She put down the cup, grabbed the mouse, and opened theputer version of Weibo. The top trending topic was #Contemporary Fashion. The reason was that an editor with the magazine Contemporary Fashion had mocked that the so-called Chinese style wouldn¡¯tst more than a year before it gets forgotten by everyone. Anyone would know that he was criticizing Shi Guang Studio and Lin Qingqian. Suisui stuck her head over to take a look and said, ¡°Is there something wrong with Contemporary Fashion? We have no grievances with them. Why are they dissing us? ¡°It can¡¯t be considered that there¡¯s no enmity between us.¡± Lin Qingqian was very calm, not surprised at all. Su Ying and Suisui looked at her in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity. Lin Qingqian said calmly, ¡°We¡¯re working very well with Z Magazine, giving them a chance topete with them. How can they not hate us?¡± Suisui snorted. ¡°Such a sore loser!¡± Now that thepetition between Z Magazine and Contemporary Fashion was getting more and more intense, both sides couldn¡¯t give in. Lin Qingqian was the stylist of Z Magazine, so she naturally became the target of the other party¡¯s attack. ¡°Do you need to deal with it?¡± Su Ying asked. Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°We won¡¯t be able to find any evidence against such specious words. It will be very difficult for us to deal with it even if we want to. Let¡¯s just leave it at that for now.¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go out to work first.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded, her gazending on Suisui next. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to work?¡± Suisui pouted and left the office unwillingly. At the thought of meeting her idol, she felt inexplicably guilty and shivered. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on Weibo again, and there was a hint of coldness in her long and curled eyes. Lan City was caught off guard by the autumn sun. The annual charity banquet of Z Magazine was being held as usual. This banquet was for charity. Celebrities in the industry and top talents would be invited and the donations would be used for charity. Shi Guang Studio was also on the invitation list this year. Lin Qingqian wanted to attend this charity banquet, both publicly and privately. However, she had already informed Vin in advance that she would not be walking the red carpet. Vin knew that she had always kept a low profile, so she did not force her. On the day of the charity banquet, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t wear a gown. Instead, she wore a dark red professional suit and a pair of red diamond earrings. She was not attending this banquet as a designer, but as the President of Shi Guang Studio, and thus she was dressed professionally. Han Liubai was also on the list of invitees. He was wearing his usual white suit, and his entire temperament was clean and cold, like the winter snow. The two of them didn¡¯t walk down the red carpet. Instead, they sat down at their table directly. There were not many people in the venue. It looked empty, and unknown music floated in the speakers. Han Liubai tilted his head to look at her exquisite face. ¡°Looks like the scene tonight is very big.¡± ¡°Vin is very passionate about doing charity. I heard that they pulled in a very generous sponsor this time,¡± Lin Qingqian exined softly. Celebrities who had walked the red carpet came in one after another. Vin was very considerate and got someone to arrange for Li Wenwen, Ren Guangxi, Lu Qinshang, Luo Tianxue, and the others to sit at Lin Qingqian¡¯s table. When Lu Qinshang saw Han Liubai, he felt like he had seen the green hat on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s head and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. Lin Qingqian looked at him disdainfully, as if warning him not to spout nonsense. Lu Qinshang snorted and looked elsewhere. There was no need for him to spout nonsense. Luo Tianxue couldn¡¯t bear to see him so smug. ¡°Do you only know how to snort like a pig? Not to be outdone, Lu Qinshang retaliated. ¡°Oh! How did you know that I have the same horoscope as you?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Luo Tianxue nced at him. ¡°Who has the same horoscope as you?¡± Lu Qinshang teased, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to do it. Why don¡¯t you demonstrate how a human vase looks like to me?¡± Human vase was a nickname given to Luo Tianxue by her anti-fans when she first debuted. Luo Tianxue red at him like a knife, and the cup of drink in her hand was about to spill on his face. Lu Qinshang did not forget to add fuel to the fire. ¡°Bear with it. Otherwise, if the media captures it, you can forget about your sweet little princess image. Anyway, my image has already copsed, so I won¡¯t care.¡± He was so thick-skinned that he had already given up. ¡°Little Six Lu, enough is enough.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but say, afraid that Luo Tianxue would flip the table. Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes lit up when he heard the name ¡®Little Six Lu¡¯. ¡°Little Six? Hahaha¡­ Are you a eunuch? Little Six¡­¡± Lu Qinshang: Six your grandpa!!! Jiang Yanshen, this scheming brother!! Seeing that Lu Qinshang was defeated, Lin Qingqian finally felt that things could calm down for a while. Ren Guangxi and Li Wenwen were not talkative people. When the people at the table chatted, they would say one sentence after another. They didn¡¯t fight or snatch. They weren¡¯t in the limelight but not to the point that they didn¡¯t have a presence. The red carpet walk outside was finally over. The lights in the venue slowly dimmed, leaving only the lights on the stage. Then, the emcee introduced Vin to the stage to give a speech. The table was still some distance away from the stage, so Lin Qingqian simply looked at the big screen. The event location was a little noisy, so she didn¡¯t notice a ck shadow moving beside her in the darkness. When hisrge palmnded on her svelte suit, she was about to jump when the familiar ebony agarwood scent swept over her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and looked at him with unconceble joy in her eyes. Jiang Yanshen caught the joy in her eyes and knew that he hadn¡¯te here for nothing. ¡°Tianyue Group is also invited, so I came to pick you up.¡± Normally, he wouldn¡¯t participate in such an event. Who asked her to be here? He wanted to see her, so he came. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were shining with starlight. Her red lips curled into a smile, and her slender fingers held his warm palm. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly as he looked at her with a smile. The originally quiet venue suddenly let out a ¡°wow¡±. There were all kinds of exmations and sighs. Only then did Lin Qingqian realize that the cameras at the scene were facing them and the two of them were projected onto the big screen. Her face immediately flushed red, but she still pretended to be calm. Her bright eyes then turned to re at Vin on the stage. However, Vin was innocent. She merely thanked Lin Qingqian during the speech, so the camera naturally had to focus on Lin Qingqian. Who would have thought that when Jiang Yanshen arrived, the two of them would show off their affection! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome and deep facial features restrained his emotions. His eyes were as calm as a mirror without any wind or waves, and hisrge palm held Lin Qingqian¡¯s small hand tightly. He did not avoid the camera and try to prevent gossip. Han Liubai looked at their sped hands and couldn¡¯t help but lower his head and cough softly. Lin Qingqian immediately turned to look at him. ¡°Xiao Bai, are you alright?¡± Han Liubai looked up at her with a faint smile on his pale face. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled her hand out of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s palm and picked up the mineral water bottle on the table. She unscrewed it and handed it to him. ¡°Drink some water.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Han Liubai smiled and took the mineral water bottle. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes, which were as dark as the abyss, seemed to be constantly blowing out wind, cold and terrifying.. Chapter 289 - 289: When Did You Start to Like Me? Chapter 289: When Did You Start to Like Me? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian felt a chill on her left side, and a gust of cold wind blew. Light swirled in her eyes, and she hurriedly picked up the mineral water she had drunk, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to the man beside her. ¡°Ah Yan, drink some water.¡± The coldness in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes suddenly dissipated, especially when he saw the lipstick at the mouth of the bottle. His eyes gradually burned. Sensing something, Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingers slowly turned, wanting to retract and wipe off her lipstick. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have seen through her intentions. He grabbed the bottle of mineral water and brought it to his mouth, especially when his lips happened to be on the side of her lipstick. He even deliberately looked at her with a burning gaze and a faint smile. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled from his numb gaze. She pursed her lips and red at him coquettishly. Seeinz that she was embarrassed, Jianz Yanshen¡¯s adam¡¯s aDDle moved. He handed the mineral water bottle back to her and said meaningfully, ¡°Thank you.¡± Jiang Yanshen had yet to sit back down when he heard her low voice. ¡°Where¡¯s your mysophobia?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes sparkled. He held her fair hand and separated her slender fingers. Then, his ten fingers interlocked, and his low and hoarse voice slowly sounded in her ears. ¡°You cured me a long time ago.¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but lower her head and smile. Just as the two of them were feeling sweet below the stage, they suddenly heard Vin say on stage, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ming Yuan, the President of the Ming Corporation, for your strong support for this charity banquet. Next, let¡¯s invite Mr. Ming on stage to say a few words for us.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s smiling lips suddenly froze. When she looked at the big screen, she saw Ming Xiao in a long red dress walking towards the stage. Vin was obviously stunned when she saw Ming Xiao, but she quickly reacted and handed the microphone to her. Ming Xiao took the microphone and smiled brightly. ¡°Hello, everyone. I¡¯m Ming Xiao. My father should have been standing here tonight, but he¡¯s not feeling well, so I¡¯m standing here on his behalf. The Ming Corporation has always been doing charity¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen noticed that the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face had faded a lot, and he couldn¡¯t help but tighten his grip on her hand. Lin Qingqian sensed it and turned her head to look at him. The corners of her lips curled up and she pretended to be fine. The entire charity night was harmonious and progressed smoothly. Many celebrities made donations, and the one who donated the most was Lin Qingqian¡¯s table. During the final group photo, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t go on stage and found an excuse to go to the washroom. As soon as she walked out of the washroom, she saw Ming Xiao standing at the door. Her slender figure leaned against the wall with ady¡¯s cigarette between her fingers. She was charming and was a stunner that men would go crazy over with just one nce. However, Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze was calm, as if she didn¡¯t see her and walked past her. Ming Xiao looked upzily and said gloomily, ¡°Junior, you seem to be getting more and more unruly. You don¡¯t even bother to greet me when you see me Perhaps because there wasn¡¯t an audience, she couldn¡¯t be bothered to y the elegant role of the eldest daughter of the Ming family anymore. She looked at Lin Qingqian with dark and disdainful eyes. Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. Her elegant facial features were filled with indifference and calmness. ¡°It¡¯s been so long since you graduated, but Senior Ming still hasn¡¯t moved on from the past?¡± Ming Xiao flicked the ashes of her cigarette and sneered. ¡°I just saw you and thought of the past. I think you¡¯ve been living too well in the past few years when I wasn¡¯t around. So much so that you¡¯ve almost forgotten about the past.¡± ¡°I still have to thank Senior Ming for taking care of me in the past.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips lightly, there was no trace of gratitude in her voice. ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Ming Xiao smiled maliciously. ¡°I came back this time to take good care of you, Junior Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian could hear the warning in her words, but she was no longer the Lin Qingqian from a few years ago. Naturally, she would not be afraid of her threats. ¡°Then I¡¯ll look forward to Senior¡¯s care.¡± ¡°Huh!¡± Ming Xiao sneered in disdain. Before she could finish speaking, she heard a deep and cold voice. ¡°Miss Ming, you don¡¯t have to worry about my woman.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and saw the man a few steps away. She didn¡¯t know when he was standing there. There was no emotion on his exquisite face, and his deep eyes were filled with snow that was difficult to melt. When Ming Xiao saw Jiang Yanshen, her breathing paused and something shed across her eyes. Jiang Yanshen walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and held her small hand. His voice was warm as he pulled her away. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and followed him. Ming Xiao watched as they walked further and further away. She couldn¡¯t help but sneer and her eyes were filled with sarcasm. When she noticed a white figure in the corner, she said coldly, ¡°Designer L, please wait.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s back suddenly stopped. When he heard the sound of high heels approaching, he turned to look at her. ¡°You¡¯ve got the wrong person.¡± Ming Xiao stubbed out the cigarette in her hand on the trash can and looked at him with a smile. ¡°Although I was in France previously, I¡¯ve also been to the fashion week in Ennd a few times. I identally bumped into you talking to Secretary Xu!¡± ¡°Designer L, White¡¯s President Han. Who would have thought that you would be a small stylist at Shi Guang Studio now?¡± The warmth in Han Liubai¡¯s eyes gradually faded. He turned around and wanted to leave. Ming Xiao: ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll tell Lin Qingqian your true identity?¡± Han Liubai stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, he said, ¡°Help yourself.¡± Just as he was about to leave, he heard the woman¡¯s cold voice say unhurriedly, ¡°Don¡¯t you want her?¡± Ming Xiao walked in front of him and looked up with a smile that was like a huge poisonous flower. ¡°We can work together. I want Jiang Yanshen, and you can get Lin Qingqian¡­¡± When her slender fingers were about tond on his pale face, Han Liubai grabbed them first. His usually gentle eyes were filled with endless coldness at this moment. He said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m not the same kind of person as you. You¡¯ve found the wrong partner.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he ruthlessly shook off her hand and continued walking. Ming Xiao was not angry. She just tilted her head and said slowly, ¡°What if I say that Jiang Yanshen has been lying to her?¡± Han Liubai suddenly stopped in his tracks. When he turned around to look at her, his eyes were filled with curiosity¡­ The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The night without the chirping of cicadas was exceptionally quiet. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t ask the chauffeur to drive the car to the entrance. Instead, he stopped at the entrance and pulled her in slowly. Although it was already deste outside, the roads in the neighborhood were still filled with greenery. It was a lively scene. Lin Qingqian looked up at his perfect side profile. ¡°Why do you suddenly want to take a walk?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time since I took a walk with you.¡± He couldn¡¯t remember thest time they took a walk together. Lin Qingqian was reminded of the past by his words. ¡°In the past, I always pestered you to apany me for a walk. You found me annoying and always gave me attitude.¡± Jiang Yanshen pinched her fingers. ¡°But I apany you every time, don¡¯t I?¡± Upon hearing his words, Lin Qingqian reacted. That seemed to be the case. In the past, she liked to stick to him. Every time, he would look impatient, but every time, he would do as she wished. ¡°Now that I think about it, you actually didn¡¯t treat me very badly.¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath. ¡°Perhaps I became more and more greedyter ¡° Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and looked down at her with burning eyes. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Her long hair was blown up by the wind and covered half of her face. Jiang Yanshen reached out and swept her hair behind her ear. He said slowly in a low voice, ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re very good. If it weren¡¯t for me, you might have had a better life in those four years.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned and reacted instantly. ¡°So you know.¡± Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. With his sharp senses, it would not be easy for her to hide it from him. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm fingertips caressed her face. ¡°Even if you didn¡¯t want to tell me, you should have told Grandma. She dotes on you so much, she won¡¯t watch you get bullied.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head gently. ¡°I¡¯m just a girl from the countryside. I don¡¯t fit in with this big city. I¡¯m already very grateful to be able to live in the Jiang residence. At that time, I just wanted to endure it and let it go. I didn¡¯t want to trouble Grandma with my matters.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart seemed to have been stung by a scorpion¡¯s tail, and it hurt unbearably. ¡°No matter how powerful the Ming family is, they still have to give face to Old Madam!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curly eyshes trembled slightly as she looked at him with bright eyes. ¡°If I had told you then, would you have helped me too?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Yanshen answered without hesitation. ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment. He held her small hand tightly and exined softly as they walked, ¡°At that time, you just came from the countryside. Although you looked silly and I felt that you were very annoying, but¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve seen a kind of tenacity in your eyes. That tenacity is as if you won¡¯t be defeated no matter how harsh and difficult the environment is.¡¯ ¡°So you were moved by my tenacity?¡± Lin Qingqian yfully hooked his palm. Jiang Yanshen gave her a warning look, and Lin Qingqian immediately didn¡¯t dare to be naughty anymore. ¡°At that time, I was thinking that this girl was quite interesting.¡± ¡°Just interesting?¡± Lin Qingqian was not satisfied with the way he put it. ¡°Don¡¯t you think that I¡¯m cute, beautiful, and smart, and that I¡¯m likable?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her and smiled without saying anything. Lin Qingqian blinked her eyes. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll take back what I said, but¡ª¡± She stopped and looked up at him. ¡°When exactly did you start liking me?¡± she asked curiously. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick eyshes fluttered, covering the secret in his eyes. He pursed his thin lips and didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian guessed doubtfully, ¡°Before or after the divorce?¡± Seeing that she was very concerned about this problem, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s adam¡¯s apple moved a few times and he called her softly, ¡°Qianqian¡­¡¯ ¡°Huh?¡± She looked up at him quietly with her clear eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t know when I fell in love, but I¡¯m deeply in love.¡± When the low voice slowly sounded, Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes involuntarily widened as she stared at him in a daze. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and his lipsnded gently on her forehead. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing was slightly sluggish. A gust of wind blew over, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers. The moonlight became gentler and gentler, enveloping a pair of lovers who were immersed in the turbulent mortal world, unable to extricate themselves.. Chapter 290: If She Kept Talking, His Heart Would Break Chapter 290: If She Kept Talking, His Heart Would Break Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Every year, the charity banquet held by Vin would be trending on the Inte. The celebrities who were the best-looking, the celebrities who donated the most, were some examples of the trending topics. However, the top trending topic this year was not the person who donated the most, but Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen. Some staff member made a video of the two of them looking at each other and posted it online. It instantly caused a heated discussion amongizens. The rabbit that gets fat from eating vegetables: ¡°F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck! I¡¯m jealous. This gaze¡­ If it¡¯s not love, what is it?!¡± Getting Lu Qinshang after cultivating for a thousand years: ¡°Ah! I¡¯m blowing up this gaze. What kind of love is this!!¡± Best Actor Wen on My Bed: ¡°I want my husband to look at me like that too.¡± Pale Blue in July: ¡°Dog of a man is seducing another woman behind my back again¡­¡¯ Stealing a Bicycle and Raising a Daughter Goose: ¡®Who said that she was sold to money? That look in her eyes can kill me ten thousand times over!¡± Disqualified in the Human Realm: ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve been sweetened by a gaze. Boohoo¡­ If they break up, I won¡¯t believe in love anymore.¡± That night, all the girls who couldn¡¯t sleep and surfed the Inte were crying for this sweet love, but Lin Qingqian woke up in a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat. She sat up in a daze, her expression nk and numb. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep sleep was disrupted by her and he reached out to switch on the bedsidemp. The orange light illuminated the room, allowing him to see clearly the sweat on Lin Qingqian¡¯s forehead. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead as his lipsnded on her shoulder. It was then that Lin Qingqian slowly came back to her senses. Her clear eyes lit up and she pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just dreamt about what happened in school. ¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned subtly and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°About Ming Xiao bullying you?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before nodding. ¡°Do you want to tell me?¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and brushed her hair away before using a tissue to wipe the sweat on the back of her neck. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said lightly, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s nothing much. It¡¯s just that she locked me in the toilet for a night, stole my design, and hid a de in my soap.¡± These things were nothing to her now, but to the old Lin Qingqian, who had just arrived in a new environment, it was very scary. She did not dare to tell anyone, nor did she dare to resist. She could only endure all her emotions and digest them herself. When Jiang Yanshen heard about the de, his eyes turned cold. He grabbed her wrist and opened her right palm. There was a very thin and obvious scar. ¡°You said you cut yourself identally.¡± So it wasn¡¯t¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingertips trembled slightly, and she slowly clenched her fists to cover the ugly scar. She said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His cold facial features were filled with endless coldness and frost. Although he had asked Lu Yuan to investigate some things, it was obvious that¡­ There were many details that could not be found. Jiang Yanshen pulled her hand over and stared at the scar on her palm with his ck eyes. There was an indescribable anger and pain in his heart. His eyes gradually turned red, and his breathing quickened¡­ Lin Qingqian sensed that something was wrong with his emotions and hurriedly said, ¡°Ah Yan, calm down. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m really fine¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned tightly, his ck eyes closed as if he couldn¡¯t hear her voice, andrge beads of sweat slowly rolled down his forehead¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s slightly cold hand then cupped his cheek. ¡°Ah Yan, open your eyes and look at me. I¡¯m fine¡­ Look at me¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Her delicate and worried facial features were reflected in his red pupils. ¡°I¡¯m really fine!¡± Lin Qingqian said solemnly. ¡°Take a few deep breaths and calm down.¡¯ Jiang Yanshen took a few deep breaths ording to her words and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He then chased the wild beast that was about to break out of its cage back to the darkest and coldest abyss. Lin Qingqian raised her head and kissed his forehead. ¡°Ming Xiao¡¯s return reminded me of the unhappy things in the past, but it wasn¡¯t all darkness during that period of time. At that time, you taught me how to adapt to city life and taught me that if I didn¡¯t want to be bullied, I had to fight back. That¡¯s how I learned everything.¡± If not, how could she have be the Lin Qingqian today? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes stared at her without blinking. His thin lips pursed into an emotionless arc and he didn¡¯t say a word. Lin Qingqian smiled lightly. ¡°You are the light that appeared at the darkest moment of my life. You brought me out of the darkness and gave me light and hope.¡± Otherwise, how could she have sacrificed seven years for this man, and how could she bear seeing him helpless and confused? ¡°Mr Jiang Yanshen, you¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long arm grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her tightly, not leaving any gaps. He was like a drowning person who had just been fished out of the water and his throat kept moving as he let out a hoarse voice¡ª ¡°Stop talking¡­ Qianqian, stop talking¡­¡± If she continued, his heart would break. Thinking back on that memory, he did not provide much warmth for the girl in front of him. Most of the time, he was like a high and mighty god. asionally, he would look at her and give her a few words of revtion. It was just like a passerby who saw a random dog or cat and would throw a bone at the roadside for it. It was such an insignificant act. There was no genuine concern or pity. He had never felt that he had done anything wrong until now¡­ Listening to her gratitude for treating his thoughtless acts as a gift, she was so pious that it crushed his internal organs. A despicable person like him was sincerely loved by such an innocent girl. The girl loved him so deeply that he was like a vengeful spirit who had been imprisoned in the depths of hell for a thousand years before bing illuminated by the Buddhist light . Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender hands slowly wrapped around his sturdy waist. Smelling the faint scent of ebony on his body, her chaotic heart calmed down bit by bit. Whether it was eight years ago or eight yearster, this man had always given her salvation when her spiritual world was at its most barren. Perhaps this was the fate she would never be able to escape in her life. ¡°r ¡°¡®C¡¯K, ITC¡¯K, ITC¡¯K5¡ä Just as a group of people was about to have a meeting, Suisui ran in from outside and said gossipily, ¡°Big news, big news¡­¡± Other than Lin Qingqian, everyone¡¯s gazes were attracted by her. Su Ying asked, ¡°What big news?¡± ¡°Do you know who the new editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion is?¡± Suisui asked mysteriously and specially nced at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian replied without looking up, ¡°The eldest daughter of the Ming Family, Ming Xiao.¡± Suisui gasped and widened her eyes. ¡°How did you find out?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her with a cold expression. ¡°Is it very difficult to guess? Recently, the editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion had changed. The article was filled with indirect criticism of theirpany and Ming Xiao had just returned from overseas. All of this could naturally be linked to the fact that Ming Xiao was the new editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion. ¡°Then there¡¯s something else you definitely cant guess!¡± Suisui guaranteed. ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t think of anything more surprising than this. Seeing that everyone¡¯s appetite was piqued, Suisui revealed a smug smile. She didn¡¯t want to leave them hanging and said directly, ¡°Ming Xiao actually invited Best Actor Wen to shoot the cover of their next issue!¡± Su Ying asked carefully, ¡°It¡¯s the¡­ Best Actor Wen I know?¡± Suisui curled her lips. ¡°How many Best Actor Wens do you think there are in the entertainment industry?¡± Su Ying couldn¡¯t help but gasp. ¡°Can I buy an issue of Contemporary Fashion?¡± She was Luo Tianxue¡¯s fan, but which girl who chased celebrities had never drooled over Best Actor Wen¡¯s looks!!! Suisui rolled her eyes. ¡°Buy my ass! Don¡¯t give that shameless green tea b*tch Ming Xiao any business!¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± ¡°But my ass!¡± Suisui retorted without hesitation. ¡°That sl*t used to bully our Qianqian in school. Are you still going to support her?¡± These words made the few people who were originally discussing immediately stop. Their gazes unanimously turned to the person involved, Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Sooner orter, she would have to sew up this little mouth. Suisui realized that she had said something wrong and immediately sat down to try her best to reduce her presence. Han Liubai looked at Lin Qingqian gently, his eyes filled with surprise and heartache. Lin Qingqian pretended that nothing had happened and said softly, ¡°About the work arrangements for the next quarter¡­¡± After the meeting ended, Lin Qingqian received a call from Vin. Clearly, the fact that Ming Xiao had invited Best Actor Wen made Vin feel threatened. ¡°Z Magazine has already surpassed Contemporary Fashion for two consecutive seasons. It¡¯s fine to be suppressed once.¡± Lin Qingqianforted Vin. ¡°A person can¡¯t win forever.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t invite Best Actor Wen. Besides, they just invited Best Actor Wen. Let¡¯s invite some powerful stars to fight with them.¡± ¡°Who should we invite next issue? No one in the country can beat Best Actor Wen. Why don¡¯t we consider foreign celebrities¡­ Or from another perspective, choosing the elites of other industries is also a topic.¡± After giving her the suggestion, Lin Qingqian hung up and turned around to see Han Liubai standing at the door. ¡°Xiao Bai.¡± ¡°I saw that you were on the phone and didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± Han Liubai walked in with a ss of fruit juice and handed it to her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She picked up the fruit juice and took a sip before looking at the screen¡­ Han Liubai looked at her gently and worriedly, as if he did not believe her words. ¡°I¡¯m really fine.¡± Lin Qingqian put down the fruit juice cup and said with a faint smile, ¡°I¡¯ve experienced school bullying for a period of time, but I wasn¡¯t beaten up, nor did I develop any mental illness. I¡¯m in good health now. Don¡¯t look at me with such worried and sympathetic eyes.¡± Han Liubai nodded and said in confusion, ¡°If not for Suisui, it would be difficult to imagine that you had experienced such a thing in the past.¡± She was always calm and indifferent, not fighting or snatching, as if she was aloof from the world, but also as if she had the ambition of a swan.. Chapter 291 - 291: But I Want to Create More Beautiful Memories for You Chapter 291 - 291: But I Want to Create More Beautiful Memories for You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds before her lips curved. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because there was always a light shining on me at that time.¡± Therefore, she didn¡¯t let the darkness and coldness umte in her heart. Han Liubai¡¯s long eyshes fluttered, and a voice in his heart asked, ¡®Is that light Jiang Yanshen?¡¯ ¡°Alright, don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m really fine.¡± She smiled slightly. It was as if the autumn sun couldn¡¯t dazzle her eyes and was warm. Han Liubai did not say anything else. He stood up and returned to the office. After hesitating for a while, he called Xu Wan. ¡°Go to France and help me investigate something.¡± After ending the call, his fingers tightened until they turned white. Jiang Yanshen, I won¡¯t allow you to hurt her! Absolutely not!! Lin Qingqian wanted to apany Jiang Yanshen before the end of the year, so she specially got off work early to pick him up. When they arrived at the Tianyue Group¡¯s building, the sun had yet to set. The towering building looked very beautiful under the sunset. Everyone knew about Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s rtionship now. Everyone in Tianyue Group knew how much Director Jiang cared about Designer Lin, so everyone cheered when she arrived. Because they saw hope of getting off work early!! Lin Qingqian saw Mini from the moment she walked through the door and entered the elevator. No one stopped her along the way. There were even many people who revealed fawning smiles. ¡°Miss Lin is here to pick Director Jiang up from work?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Miss Lin, your clothes are too difficult to buy. Can you release a few more next time? It doesn¡¯t matter if the price is higher!¡± Someone begged. People who worked in Tianyue Groupcked everything except money. Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Next time,pile the styles and quantities you want for Mini and let her contact my assistant to open the back door for you!¡± ¡°Thank you, Miss Lin!!¡± The girls said happily in unison. The elevator opened and they went out. Lin Qingqian went to the top floor alone. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw Lu Yuan guarding the office door. Lu Yuan clearly panicked when he saw her. ¡®M-Miss Lin, why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian sensed that his expression was not right, but she did not ask directly. She said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m here to pick Director Jiang up from work.¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Lu Yuan looked at the office guiltily and said hesitantly, ¡°Director Jiang is meeting an important client. Why don¡¯t I bring you to the lounge to wait for a while?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, lead the way.¡± ¡°This way, please.¡± Lu Yuan made a ¡°please¡± gesture and led the way. However, Lin Qingqian did not follow him. She turned around and pushed open the office door. ¡°Hey¡­ Miss Lin!¡± Lu Yuan reacted, but it was toote to stop her. When Lin Qingqian pushed open the door, she saw Jiang Yanshen sitting on a chair and a middle-aged man on the sofa. Jiang Yanshen nced at her and was only stunned for a second before he quickly regained hisposure. He stood up and walked towards Lin Qingqian, his voice gentle. ¡°Why are you here?¡± He held her hand and was not angry that she had barged in without permission. Lin Qingqian looked at him. ¡°I¡¯m picking you up from work.¡± She looked at the man on the sofa. Jiang Yanshen gave Lu Yuan a look, and Lu Yuan tactfully left. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is the President of the Ming Corporation, Mr. Ming Yuan.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand and pulled her to the man. He introduced, ¡°This is my girlfriend, Lin Qingqian.¡± Ming Yuan stood up and looked at Lin Qingqian. After all, he belonged to the older generation. It was impossible for him to lower his stance in front of Lin Qingqian, but he did not have the attitude of a businessman. He said politely, ¡°I¡¯ve heard a lot about you, Miss Lin.¡± How could Lin Qingqian not know Ming Xiao¡¯s father? Her red lips curled into a polite smile as she greeted, ¡°Hello, President Ming.¡± Ming Yuan nodded. ¡°Since Miss Lin is here, I won¡¯t disturb you young people.¡± Jiang Yanshen did not stand on ceremony with him. ¡°Lu Yuan, send Ming Yuan off for me.¡± Lu Yuan, who was guarding the door, immediately walked in and said respectfully, ¡°President Ming, please.¡± After Ming Yuan left, Lu Yuan considerately closed the office door for them. Lin Qingqian looked up at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Why are you meeting him?¡± Perhaps it was a woman¡¯s intuition, but she felt that he was meeting Ming Yuan because of her. ¡°The Ming Family and the Jiang Family have never cooperated or had any grudges. Ming Yuan is a smart person. It¡¯s always a good thing to give the other party a warning.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and stroked her cheek gently. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this. Ming Xiao doesn¡¯t dare to do anything to me now.¡± Although Lin Qingqian said that, she still felt sweet when she saw that he specially arranged to meet Ming Yuan for her. ¡°Moreover, I¡¯m not a soft persimmon now. I won¡¯t be kneaded by others.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and his deep voice was filled with doting. ¡°Yes, you¡¯re President Lin now. Even I don¡¯t dare to provoke you. Who else would dare to provoke you?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her chin. ¡°It¡¯s good that you know.¡± After a pause, she changed the topic and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back. I¡¯ll cook personally tonight. What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Anything?¡± Jiang Yanshen took off his coat from the hanger with one hand and pulled her out of the office side by side with the other. Lin Qingqian pondered. ¡°Oh, I can¡¯t make anything too difficult¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and whispered into her ear. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly turned red and she pinched his waist. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and smiled, pulling her into the elevator¡­ Song Qin and the other secretaries, who were hiding in the pantry at the side and watching all of this, couldn¡¯t help but burp. ¡°I can¡¯t eat tonight!! I¡¯m too full!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll call my Mom and see if there¡¯s a blind date banquet tonight. I¡¯ll go take a look.. ¡°Should I call my ex-boyfriend? Actually, the red lipstick he gave mest time wasn¡¯t very dead¡­¡± Song Qin watched as they all called to have fun, leaving her alone to grieve. Ex-boyfriend¡­ none! Blind date banquet¡­ none! Family¡­ They were not in Lan City! She could only say, ¡°¡­Wuwuwu!¡± Lu Yuan didn¡¯t see Jiang Yanshen when he came up after sending Ming Yuan off. Instead, he saw Song Qin squatting in the pantry. ¡°Where¡¯s Director Jiang?¡± Song Qin: ¡°¡­Wu!¡± Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. ¡°Speak properly. Be careful not to let me punch you for each crying sound you make!¡± Song Qin stood up and sighed. ¡®When a beauty smiles, even the king can¡¯t work overtime anymore!¡± Lu Yuan understood and immediately burst with joy. ¡°I finally don¡¯t have to work overtime tonight. I can go home and watch Little Sister¡¯s live-stream.¡± The straight man¡¯s spring had finally arrived! Song Qin nced at him from the corner of her eye. ¡°You send yachts to those little girls all day long, but none of theme out to talk to you!¡± ¡°This daddy is willing! It¡¯s none of your business!¡± Lu Yuan was like an obedient grandson beside Jiang Yanshen, but he acts like an uncle in front of Song Qin. ¡°As for you, hehe¡­ You don¡¯t have a boyfriend and don¡¯t chase after celebrities. You can only go home alone after work.¡± Song Qin originally wanted to say, ¡°Why don¡¯t I treat you to a meal!¡± She swallowed her words and looked up with a smile. It made Lu Yuan¡¯s hair stand on end. Before he could react, she kicked his crotch. Lu Yuan almost passed away on the spot. ¡°Special Assistant Lu, see you tomorrow.¡± She smiled and turned to leave, her back looking especially carefree. Lu Yuan cursed in pain and anger, ¡°Song Qin, are you crazy!¡± Song Qin stopped in her tracks and turned around to make a face before leaving inrge strides. Lu Yuan¡¯s face was pale and his forehead was covered in sweat. Not to mention going home to watch the little sister¡¯s live-stream, it was already good enough that he could make it to the hospital alive. At night, Lin Qingqian cooked Jiang Yanshen¡¯s favorite dishes and also made her favorite boiled fish slices. After dinner, she kept the cutlery in the kitchen and waited for the auntie to deal with it tomorrow before returning to the bedroom to take a shower. It was another night of passionate activity between men and women in love. After fooling around for most of the night, Lin Qingqian fell asleep with fatigue and satisfaction. Her cell phone vibrated crazily at the head of the bed. Lin Qingqian was sleeping soundly and didn¡¯t react. Jiang Yanshen picked up the cell phone and nced at it¡­ He realized that it was not his, but hers. After hesitating for a moment, he took her phone and walked to the balcony and closed the ss door to answer the call. ¡°Hello¡­¡± His low and hoarse voice sounded especially sexy and charming on this quiet night. He didn¡¯t know what the other party said, but he said in a low voice, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll agree on her behalf.¡± The next day was a sunny day. After breakfast, Jiang Yanshen sent her to work as usual. When the car stopped, Lin Qingqian realized that it was not herpany. Before she could ask, Vin walked over with his assistant with a smile. ¡°Director Jiang, thank you very much for epting our invitation.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and looked at the man beside her curiously. Why did she feel like she had missed the events of the entire world while she slept? Seeing that Lin Qingqian was still in a daze, Vin urged, ¡°Qingqian, why are you still in a daze? Go and change your clothes quickly!¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Qingqian was really dumbfounded. She didn¡¯t know what had happened. Vin realized something and looked at Jiang Yanshen inquiringly. ¡°Director Jiang¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and exined to her, ¡°Editor-in-chief Vin invited us to shoot the cover of their next issue.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes instantly widened. ¡®I !!!¡± Vin had good eyesight and tried to smooth things over. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go in first?¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and walked in under Vin¡¯s lead. In the lounge. ¡°Are you agitated by something?¡± Lin Qingqian looked suspiciously at the man on the sofa. ¡°You¡¯re not even in a financial magazine. Why would you want to be in a fashion magazine?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm as he said casually, ¡°That depends on who I¡¯m partnering with.¡± These words were suspected of flirting with girls! There were ripples in Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes. ¡°Ah Yan, it¡¯s true that I¡¯m the stylist for Z Magazine, but whether its sales can surpass Contemporary Fashion isn¡¯t as important to me.¡± Art could bemercialized, butpletelymercialized art could not be called art. ¡°Why can¡¯t you think that I want to take a photo with you and leave behind a memory that belongs to us?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked in a low voice. Lin Qingqian was stunned. She had never thought of it like this. ¡°I won¡¯t care about anything you don¡¯t care about.¡± Jiang Yanshen yed with her soft hand. His eyes were slightly warm as he said in a low and seductive voice, ¡°But I want to create more beautiful memories for us..¡± Chapter 292 - 292: The Only Woman Who Can Make Me Enter A Marriage In This Lifetime Is Lin Chapter 292: The Only Woman Who Can Make Me Enter A Marriage In This Lifetime Is Lin Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At this point, what else could Lin Qingqian say? Vin got someone to prepare the clothes for filming overnight. ording to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s requirements, they were all private high-end clothes. The simpler the better without any fancy essories. Jiang Yanshen was wearing a navy blue suit and tie of the same color, while Lin Qingqian had changed into a ck halter dress. Her long dark green hair was permed and she had applied lipstick that was like a raging fire. It was usually very difficult to show innocence and charm on the same person, but Lin Qingqian disyed these twopletely opposite styles. Her eyebrows were delicate and clean, but her red lips were like mes. Her graceful body and temperament were excellent. Even those popr human vases in the industry could notpare to her. After Jiang Yanshen came out of her room, his gazended on her and he couldn¡¯t take his eyes off her. Not to mention him, even Vin couldn¡¯t take her eyes off her. ¡°Qingqian, it¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not a model.¡± Vin was very regretful. Her high-ss face was simply a natural model¡¯s face. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curved slightly. ¡°I prefer to rely on my abilities to make a living.¡± Jiang Yanshen only responded to herck of humility with a smile in his eyes. He stretched out his warm palm in front of her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair and tender hand was ced in his palm. It was not only her hand that was held tightly by him, but also her fate. The two of them had an excellent image and temperament, and their foundations were good. They could be directly shown on camera without much makeup. The studio also did not have any background ording to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s request. It was arge white cloth with words addedter. Lin Qingqian was not a restrained person, but she felt very unnatural standing in front of the camera with Jiang Yanshen. Her hands and feet were stiff, and she did not know where to put them. The photographer asked them to appear more intimate. It would be better if they were more natural and interacted. Lin Qingqian also wanted to rx, but she could not. The photographer looked at Vin helplessly. Vin had no choice but to look at Jiang Yanshen for help. Jiang Yanshen held her hand and said gently, ¡®Why are you nervous? I¡¯m the one who should be nervous!¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and said innocently, ¡°I¡¯ve never taken a photo with you before. It¡¯s my first time taking such a formal picture. How can I not be nervous!¡± At the thought that the photo would be printed on the cover of a magazine, she felt that this was simply torture. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s just the cover of a magazine. We¡¯ll take more and better photos in the future, such as wedding photos.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and before she could react, she heard his low and hoarse voice add, ¡°Let me make an analogy. Have you ever thought about how we look like when we take wedding photos in the past?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it.¡± Lin Qingqian did not hesitate for too long before answering. ¡°Not only the wedding photos, but I¡¯ve also fantasized about our wedding, returning home, and honeymoon.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her warmly. ¡®What do we look like when we take wedding photos?¡± ¡°At that time, I thought that we were going overseas to film outdoors. It would be best if we went to the beach. We could take our honeymoon in advance so that we wouldn¡¯t dy your work.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart softened, and his voice lowered. ¡°You¡¯re so understanding.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°You just found out?¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled. ¡°Then remember to tell me when you want to marry in the future. We¡¯ll go overseas to take wedding photos and go on our honeymoon. Everything will be ording to your preference, okay?¡± On thest syble, his voicepletely choked. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped as she pursed her lips and muttered, ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to force you, but I have to let you know that I¡¯m already prepared to marry you.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at her, his eyes filled with a gentleness that could drown people. ¡®When you want to marry one day, just say the word and I¡¯ll wee you over at any time.¡± Lin Qingqian felt that he had really changed and was willing to tell her his thoughts. They no longer guessed each other¡¯s thoughts and insteadmunicated directly to let the other party understand each other better. ¡°Alright.¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and her smile was smooth and beautiful. The photographer reacted extremely quickly and pressed the shutter to take a photo of the two of them smiling at each other. Vin was extremely satisfied when she saw the photo on theputer. Her eyes gestured for Jiang Yanshen to continue. The two of them finished taking all the photos while chatting. A few of them were especially good-looking. Lin Qingqian wanted to print them and bring them home to hang them up. Jiang Yanshen made this request directly to Vin, and Vin agreed readily. While they were filming, Vin suddenly wanted to give them more interviews. She felt that Jiang Yanshen was in a good mood, so she mentioned it. As expected, she wasn¡¯t rejected. Vin got someone to prepare the lounge and let them sit. She also prepared water and the equipment for the interview, cameras, and so on. The few questions for the interview were all drawn up at thest minute. Vin let them take a look and confirm that there were no problems before officially recording. The text interview would be ced on the inner page of the magazine, and the video would be posted online as publicity after the recording and editing. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat together. Their hands were naturally held together. There was no intention or restraint, as if it was an instinct. The topic of the interview was about work and love, and there was no mention of their previous failed marriage. The interview was almost over. Lin Qingqian went to the washroom and the interview was interrupted. Vin took the opportunity to ask Jiang Yanshen a question alone. ¡°Director Jiang, the stereotype you give the public has always been that you¡¯re a low-key and shrewd businessman, and you had a failed marriage with Miss Lin Qingqian. I believe that the two of you must have made a decision after careful consideration!¡± ¡°So¡­ what is Lin Qingqian to you?¡± The photographer was observant and continued recording without stopping. In the camera, Jiang Yanshen had perfect facial features, deep eyes, and thin lips. He did not answer immediately. Vin waited patiently for his answer. Time passed bit by bit. Just as Vin thought that he would not answer, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips parted slightly and he said a pleasant and moving word, ¡°Redemption.¡± Before Vin could react, Lin Qingqian pushed the door open and entered. This topic was interrupted. Thest question was to ask two people their views and understanding of marriage. Lin Qingqian pondered for a few seconds and replied, ¡°Loyalty, honesty, and passion.¡± Her marriage with Jiang Yanshen was only loyal, but there was no honesty, nor was there any passion to maintain the rtionship. Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at the indifferent woman beside him and only said, ¡°The only woman who can let me enter a marriage in this lifetime is only Lin Qingqian.¡± The matter of Z Magazine inviting Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen to shoot the cover of their next issue was not publicized. Only when it was about to be released did a little notice appear. This was the first time Z Magazine had invited people not from the entertainment industry to feature on their cover, and the first time they had invited two people to shoot the cover together. As soon as their silhouettes were posted online, they attracted many opinions. I¡¯m a Passerby: ¡°Could it be Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang?¡± My daughter and Best Actor Wen. ¡°Impossible! My daughter would never film a magazine with that silly eagle.¡± It¡¯s Yao Yao: ¡°Tsk! Our Big Brother can¡¯t possibly film with that vase Luo Tianxue!¡± Was Qi Zui behaving himself today: ¡°Could it be Ren Guangxi and Li Wenwen? The two of them were still sitting together on the day of the charity banquet.¡± The otherizens guessed that it might be Li Wenwen and Ren Guangxi. Contemporary Fashion had invited Best Actor Wen. Originally, the number one seller would definitely be Contemporary Fashion. Z Magazine did not want to lose too badly, so they could only invite two popr celebrities. One was the Queen of Arts, and the other was the newest celebrity. If they were ced together, the fans of the two would definitely support them in all kinds of ways. They could somewhatpete with Best Actor Wen. Among the manyments, there was an inconspicuous ID message. Puppy Jiang is Not a Jerk: ¡°Why do I think the silhouettes look a little like Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen?¡± Still cold: ¡°Impossible! These two people are just passersby in the industry. Who will buy a magazine with them on it! ¡± My daughter loves Puppy Jiang: ¡°What are you talking about? Do you think our daughter doesn¡¯t have fans?¡± Sending My Yearning: ¡°That¡¯s right! I¡¯m a die-hard fan of my daughter. I¡¯ll dere now that if it¡¯s my daughter, I¡¯ll buy 500 copies!¡± Canned mango and yellow peaches: ¡°These two people are good-looking. If they can produce another beautiful picture like that famous scene from that night, I would like to buy it too.¡± MS He Ka: ¡°If it¡¯s really these two people, Z Magazine can just lie down and be mocked! Contemporary Fashion invited Best Actor Wen. Who in the entertainment industry can beat his fans?¡± Official Little Cutie 0258: ¡°That¡¯s natural. There¡¯s a reason why his fans are renowned for being hardcore!! Who dares to fight them?!¡± Just as the entire Inte was criticizing Z Magazine, the new issue of Contemporary Fashion was released. In less than two hours, a million copies were sold out. Best Actor Wen¡¯s fansined about Contemporary Fashion¡¯s nning on Weibo. Who were they looking down on with just a million copies!!! Contemporary Fashion immediately posted on Weibo to apologize. Then, they started another round of pre-sales and urgently printed a million more copies. Not only did Contemporary Fashion break the fastest sales record, but it also broke the amount of magazine sales and reached a height that no one could reach in a short period of time. The influence of Best Actor Wen could be seen from the purchasing ability of their hardcore fans. The entire industry and even the entire Inte were waiting to see Z Magazine make a fool of itself. When everyone was watching how ugly Z Magazine was going to be¡­ Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s magazines were released. The readers of Z Magazine first cursed and protested against the buyout! F*ck, the person they invited was Best Actor Wen. Why did they invite two outsiders that¡¯s not in the industry!! Didn¡¯t this mean that the general had surrendered before the battle even started? What were the soldiers fighting for? They couldn¡¯t possibly spend this money for nothing. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans cried out in excitement when they saw this. Their daughter was so beautiful and talented. She was finally going to debut!!! Of course, they had to use the determination of going bankrupt to increase the sales of their daughter¡¯s magazine and let her take the flower path! No matter how supportive Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans were, they couldn¡¯t win against Best Actor Wen¡¯s influence. They only sold 20,000 copies in an hour. When the people at Contemporary Fashion saw this, theyughed and opened the champagne to celebrate. What they did not expect was that while they were celebrating, Z Magazine¡¯s Weibo posted a video of the shoot.. Chapter 293 - 293: Why Did He Say That She Was His Redemption? Chapter 293: Why Did He Say That She Was His Redemption? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The loyal fans of the magazine had originally clicked on it while cursing. They wanted to scold Vin for what she was doing. Why was she messing with the couples! In less than five seconds, she immediately turned into a lemon spirit. Boohoo¡­ Mommy, I want to have a sweet rtionship too. The video was very short, only 20 seconds, but in these 20 seconds, the two of them looked at each other. Their frowns and smiles were enough to empty the blood tank of the people who came to look. How could a 20-second video be enough? As they bought the magazine, they sharpened their knives under the official Weibo ount to extend the video! Vin had never thought that this issue could snatch sales from Contemporary Fashion, so she estimated a safe sales number of 500,000 yuan. In the end, the 500,000 copies were all sold out in the morning. There were still many fans begging for more printing. Vin conservatively printed another 200,000 copies. Fans: Only 200,000? Who are you looking down on!! Vin was not blinded by the fans¡¯ enthusiasm and insisted on only printing an additional 200,000 copies. Seeing this, the fans continued to force the highlights. There were even experts who cut clips from the few public videos of the two of them. Every frame was sweet. The Shenqian couple pairing was at the top of the trending searches and also at the top of the rankings. The stock price of Tianyue Group rose, and the sales of Lin Qingqian¡¯s brand doubled. When Lin Qingqian received Su Ying¡¯s call, she was a little stunned. Wasn¡¯t it just a magazine shoot with Jiang Yanshen? It wasn¡¯t the first day they had announced their rtionship. Why did it look like a discount event? This was because other than Z Magazine, Tianyue Group and Shi Guang Studio had not done any publicity. Who would have thought that the two of them would cause such a hugemotion when they joined hands? Some fans who couldnt buy the magazines begged Lin Qingqian on Weibo. Deep Qian V: I don¡¯t have one either. Who can sell me one? [Helpless.jpg] Theizens immediately felt bnced. Even the person involved didn¡¯t have it, so it was normal that they couldn¡¯t buy it. At this moment, someone posted on Weibo to gain attention. Lu Qinshang: ¡°As long as you sell me this magazine, we¡¯ll be brothers.¡± The Maple Leaves retorted, ¡°What brothers? Call me Mama! Don¡¯t you know your ce?¡± Lu Qinshang replied: ¡°That¡¯s enough of your anti-fans. Isn¡¯t it good to be a true fan?¡± Maple Leaf: Honestly, aren¡¯t you also a Shenqian couple pairing fan? You actually didn¡¯t bring us along! F*ck your true fans!! Lu Qinshang: ¡°Am I a couple pairing fan? I¡¯m just being stuffed with dog food every day!¡± Maple Leaf: Oh! Then why don¡¯t you find a girlfriend yourself and stuff it back? Why don¡¯t you find one? I want to drink tea. Mother-inw tea¡­ Lu Qinshang: . F*ck! Ever since his facade was removed, his fans had be demonic. They had changed from girlfriend fans and wife fans to Moms!! Other fans were afraid that their idol would fall in love and get married, but they urged him to fall in love and get married every day so that they can drink mother-inw tea. A group of lunatics!! When Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen were having breakfast, Lu Qinshang sent her a WeChat voice message. She directly turned on the speaker. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Lin Qingqian, Boss Lin, get me some magazines. My fan club is going crazy¡­ They¡¯re all asking me for your magazines. Give me some to dote on my fans.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything and looked at Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen picked up her phone and pressed the voice button. ¡°What did you call her?¡± Two minutester, Lu Qinshang¡¯s voice message was sent over. He called out reluctantly, ¡°Sister-inw, Sister-inw, Sister-inw!! Ah Yan, quickly get me some magazines! ! ¡± Jiang Yanshen did not say anything. He looked at Lin Qingqian and asked with his eyes, ¡°Do you want to give it to him?¡± Lin Qingqian took a sip of milk and said softly, ¡°Vin called and said that she only printed an additional 200,000 copies. Other than sending us some, the rest has been reserved.¡± In other words, there was nothing else to give Lu Qinshang. Jiang Yanshen pondered for a few seconds and said, ¡°I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to negotiate and print another 100,000.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows moved slightly. ¡°There¡¯s no need for that, right?¡± They were not celebrities. There was no need for them to be in the limelight like this. Jiang Yanshen unlocked his phone and opened WeChat for her to see. Lu Yuan: ¡°Director Jiang, um¡­ many people in thepany¡¯s executive group are asking if there are any magazines of you and Madam? If they can¡¯t buy them, their families might fall apart. It won¡¯t be good for thepany.¡± These words were naturally exaggerated, but it was also the truth. There was nothing much in Tianyue Group, but a group of henpecked men and women. The people at home were either the wives or daughters who are Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans. Now that Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen featured in a magazine together, they naturally had to buy it. Moreover, ever since Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen announced their rtionship, the women who originallyined every day that their husbands couldn¡¯te home and their boyfriends were even busier than the president of the country no longerined. Instead, they understood their work very well and expressed their support. Then, they took their sry cards to support Lin Qingqian¡¯s career. Who would have thought that the announcement of a rtionship by the President of thepany would make the love life of all the men in thepany so harmonious andplete? However, it was hard on their wallets. Lin Qingqian was not fooled by Lu Yuan¡¯s words. Instead, she caught the main point. ¡°Madam?¡± She tilted her head and looked at Jiang Yanshen suspiciously. Usually, Lu Yuan would call her Miss Lin. Jiang Yanshen was already able to shift the me easily. ¡°He¡¯s used to calling you that. He probably hasn¡¯t adapted yet?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Qingqian did not really believe his words. Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone without changing his expression and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, I can call Lu Yuan here to confront him.¡± It was not necessary to specially call him over to confront him for a term of address. Moreover. she was not stunid. She knew very well what Lu Yuan was like. Jiang Yanshen sent Lin Qingqian to work. Lu Yuan had already negotiated with the people from Z Magazine to print an additional 100,000 copies. He naturally did not want to let go of the opportunity to dere his sovereignty to the entire world. If not for the fact that he was afraid that she would be unhappy, he would have printed an additional million copies. When Lin Qingqian entered the office, she saw the magazine on the table. It was still in the packaging and hadn¡¯t been opened. Su Ying brought in the coffee and exined, ¡°Editor-in-chief Vin specially asked someone to bring it to you.¡± Lin Qingqian took the magazine and opened the stic cover. On the cover, she and Jiang Yanshen looked at each other, their eyes filled with sparks. Su Ying had already seen the picture online. At this moment, she still felt that it was very sweet and beautiful. She praised sincerely, ¡°Sister Qingqian, you and Director Jiang are really a match made in heaven. If the couple pairing fans have to choose a favorite pair, you will undoubtedly be first!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Stop ttering me and go out to work!¡± After Su Ying left, Lin Qingqian flipped through the magazine. The front was filled with popr analysis and rmendations for fashion. Towards the end, there was an interview with the characters. In the photo, when she lowered her head and smiled, Jiang Yanshen also lowered his head. His dark eyes stared at her gently, so close that his lips seemed to be pressed against her forehead. And beside it was a veryrge headline¡ªRedemption. Redemption? Lin Qingqian was present for the previous interviews, so she knew Jiang Yanshen¡¯s answer until thest question. What does Lin Qingqian mean to you? Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Redemption.¡± Why did he say that she was his redemption? Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but think. Perhaps because they had been on the trending searches several times previously, theizens were no longer surprised that they were on the trending searches again Moreover, they were really very sweet. There were evenizens who listed the timeline of the two of them getting to know each other. Based on the revtions and rumors, they spected the time they spent together and the divorce time, as well as the time they reconciled. They wouldn¡¯t know if they didn¡¯t look, but after thinking about it, they realized that they had experienced so much together, especially Lin Qingqian. From the time when she married into the Jiang family and became a rich Madam. Then, the lofty Madam Jiang, who could make clothes and feed herself for the rest of her life, had divorced without hesitation. She entered the entertainment industry as a stylist, opened a studio, apany, and then established her own brand. After making small achievements in her career, she reconciled with Jiang Yanshen. Love and a good career. This was definitely a script for a female lead. Some people praised and envied them, and only some haters defamed them. However, these haters were quickly eliminated by the righteousizens. It was probably because they looked too good as a couple. There was even a variety show on the television station that invited the two of them to participate in a dating program. This time, Jiang Yanshen did not agree and directly rejected them. The production team did not give up and turned to look for Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian rejected them without hesitation. Even though theizens were rmending the two of them to appear on the dating reality show, Lin Qingqian only posted on Weibo indifferently. When theizens and fans heard her say this, they naturally did not urge her anymore. Compared to watching her doing romantic things, they preferred to spend money and buy her beautiful clothes to go out and y. The final sales of Z Magazine still did not exceed Contemporary Fashion, but the discussion online surpassed Contemporary Fashion. No matter how popr and good-looking Best Actor Wen was, he had long been in all the top magazines in the industry. He had tried all kinds of styles and his fans¡¯ ttery could circle the earth three times. Naturally, the discussions he could produce could notpare to Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian, who were on the cover for the first time. One was a CEO of arge corporation, and the other was an independent designer who had divorced and was fighting for her career. Their rtionship was even more talked about. Ming Xiao looked at the investigation report sent by his assistant. The poprity and discussion of Z Magazine far exceeded that of Contemporary Fashion. Her red lips couldn¡¯t help but curl into a cold smile. The assistant trembled as he watched and said carefully, ¡°Chief Editor¡­¡± ¡°You can leave,¡± Ming Xiao said. Her voice was gentle and one couldn¡¯t tell her emotions. When the assistant heard this, he felt as if he had been pardoned and hurriedly left the office. Ming Xiao¡¯s gazended on the Z Magazine magazine beside the table. Looking at the two people on the cover who were overflowing with sweetness, the light in her eyes darkened. The ballpoint pen in her hand that kept pressing down suddenly stabbed fiercely into ¡°Lin Qingqian¡¯s¡± eye. A cold and charming smile appeared on her red lips. After slowly putting down the ballpoint pen, she picked up the phone and dialed the office line. ¡°Help me make an appointment with the President of Shi Guang Studio.¡± In a private clubhouse. In the elegant room filled with the fragrance of tea, Ming Xiao saw Lin Qingqian brought over by the Manager and the corners of his mouth curled up. ¡°Junior, please take a seat.¡± Lin Qingqian ced her handbag on the chair beside her and sat down. After the Manager left, only the two of them were left in the private room. Ming Xiao poured a cup of tea and ced it in front of her. ¡°It¡¯s top-notch Longjing tea. Try it. Ordinary people can¡¯t drink it..¡± Chapter 294 - 294: Qjanqian, Could You Be Pregnant? Chapter 294 - 294: Qjanqian, Could You Be Pregnant? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes to look at the teacup with a tea leaf floating in it. It was steaming, and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Ming Xiao was stunned and looked at her with her well-defined eyshes. ¡°You¡¯ve postured for so many years. Aren¡¯t you tired?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gentle voice sounded. Her gaze was cold as she looked at her without any intention of giving in. Ming Xiao suddenlyughed. ¡°Lin Qingqian, I¡¯ve lived for so many years, but this is the first time I¡¯ve met such an interesting person like you.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and went straight to the point. ¡°Of course not, ¡± Ming Xiao replied with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s just that every time I see you since I came back, I¡¯ll have a thought¡­ If not for the Jiang Family backing you, how tall would the grass on your grave be now?¡± Regarding what happened back then, she did not regret it at all. On the contrary, she regretted having backed off after seeing that she was brought here by Old Madam Jiang and didn¡¯t dare to be too ruthless. She only gave her a few small punishments. ¡°Looks like I¡¯m living very well now, making you feel ufortable.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened. ¡°I feel very honored about this.¡± Back then, everyone in school was afraid of Ming Xiao¡¯s identity as the daughter of the Ming family and ttered her. Anyone who made her unhappy was either forced to drop out of school or suspended from school in depression beforemitting suicide. If not for Jiang Yanshen encouraging her to be stronger, if not for her strong mentality, perhaps the grass on her grave would really be as tall as a person now. The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s face gradually dissipated, and the light in his eyes was sinister. He mocked, ¡°With Jiang Yanshen as your backer, you seem to have gained more confidence when you speak.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your confidence also from President Ming? What¡¯s the difference between us?¡± Lin Qingqian retaliated indifferently. After a pause, she added, ¡°Oh, the only difference might be that you rely on your father and I rely on my boyfriend.¡± Ming Xiao tightened her grip on the teacup. Her fingertips turned white and she gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t seem to see the boiling anger in her eyes as she said casually, ¡°My confidencees from the man you couldn¡¯t get eight years ago or eight yearster. This is indeed very damaging to Miss Ming¡¯s self-esteem.¡± Ming Xiao was so angry that sheughed instead. Her clenched fists slowly rxed as she put down the teacup and picked up a tissue to wipe the tea that had spilled on her hand. ¡°It¡¯s been a few years since west met, but your tongue has be even sharper. ¡± Lin Qingqian was not stupid enough to think that she was praising her. Her eyes were gentle as she said again, ¡°If you don¡¯t have anything else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Without waiting for her to get up, Ming Xiao said unhurriedly, ¡°I want to invite you to feature on the cover of our next issue.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned, her clear eyes shed with probing and confusion. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll believe that you¡¯ll be kind enough to invite me to shoot the cover?¡± ¡°Although I hate you and want you to disappear from this world like those people, it¡¯s just that¡­¡± She paused and smiled charmingly. ¡°We¡¯re all adults. There¡¯s no right or wrong in the adult world. There¡¯s only benefits.¡± In other words, her invitation to Lin Qingqian was purely for benefits. Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment. Her curled eyshes fluttered as she looked at her and said indifferently, ¡°Ming Xiao, no matter what your motive is for inviting me, I won¡¯t agree, publicly or privately. Put away your little tricks!¡± She turned around and picked up her handbag, wanting to leave. Ming Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°What if I use a secret in exchange with your agreement?¡± Lin Qingqian paused and turned to look at her. Her voice was calm. ¡°Are the words ¡®stupid and sweet¡¯ written on my face?¡± ¡°Lin Qingqian, in my eyes, you¡¯ve never been a stupid girl.¡± The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s lips deepened, and there was even some admiration in his eyes. ¡°How can a woman who can catch Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eye be a silly girl?¡± Lin Qingqian was silent, her clear eyes filled with confusion. For a moment, she did not understand what she wanted to do. ¡°This secret is rted to Jiang Yanshen. I can guarantee that the information is urate.¡± Ming Xiao sipped her tea and said, ¡°I¡¯ll give you three days to go back and consider it carefully. It won¡¯t be long before the offer expires!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need three days. I can tell you now that I refuse,¡± Lin Qingqian replied without thinking, picked up her handbag, and left. Just as she reached the door of the private room, it was pushed open by the Manager. The two of them looked at each other for a second. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at the leisurely Ming Xiao and instructed the Manager, ¡°Miss Ming is my senior. Give her a discount.¡± As for free, it was impossible. In any case, Ming Xiao did notck the money to posture. The Manager said respectfully, ¡®Yes, Miss Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at Ming Xiao with a smile. ¡°I forgot to tell you that this private clubhouse is run by Jiang Yanshen. I won¡¯t disturb you from tasting your tea!¡± She turned around elegantly and walked out of the private room confidently. She couldn¡¯t help butin in her heart, Isn¡¯t it just posturing? Who doesn¡¯t know how to do it! The Manager ced the pastries with tea on the coffee table and retreated. As soon as the door of the VIP room closed, the teacup in Ming Xiao¡¯s hand fell fiercely to the dark oak floor, and the porcin shattered. ¡°Lin¡ªQing¡ªQian!¡± She gritted her teeth with a hateful expression. Ming Yuan pushed open the door of the private room and frowned when he saw the fragments on the ground. He walked to the tatami and sat down. ¡°Didn¡¯t I warn you not to provoke Jiang Yanshen¡¯s woman?¡± Ming Xiao turned her head in disdain. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t reminded me that she was protected by Old Madam Jiang back then, she would have long gone back to where she came from! How would it even be her turn to follow Jiang Yanshen for seven years? Now, they¡¯re still¡­¡± Thinking of the cover photo, the hatred in her heart surged. Ming Yuan¡¯s expression was calm. As he washed the cup, boiled water, and ced the tea leaves, he said, ¡°How many times have I taught you? A little impatience will spoil great ns! You¡¯ll be the sessor of Ming Corporation in the future. Your eyes shouldn¡¯t only be on one man.¡± This was also the reason why Ming Xiao was sent to France the moment she graduated. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t sent me away back then, the one who married Jiang Yanshen might not have been her, Lin Qingqian.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°If I can¡¯t even get a man, how can I manage the entire Ming Corporation?¡± ¡°So what if she marries Jiang Yanshen?¡± Ming Yuan said calmly, ¡®Marriage can lead to divorce, and they can also be separated when they¡¯re together. You can¡¯t just look at the immediate future when doing things. You have to look further into the future.¡± Ming Xiao frowned slightly and suddenly said, ¡°Father, our Ming Family¡¯s foundation in Lan City isn¡¯t inferior to the Jiang Family, but you seem to be less domineering in front of Jiang Yanshen all these years.¡± She more or less understood what her biological father was like. Ming Yuan did not exin after being exposed by his daughter. He pushed the teacup in front of her and said meaningfully, ¡°Pride and arrogance are the mostmon illnesses of young people. With the addition of this trap called love, even Jiang Yanshen can¡¯t escape this cmity.¡± Ming Xiao picked up her teacup and pondered. ¡°Father, you want to swallow the Jiang Family.¡± Ming Yuan drank his tea and only smiled without saying anything. Ming Xiao was happy to see the Jiang Family fall. This way, it would be easier for her to control Jiang Yanshen. However¡ª ¡°The Jiang family has a deep foundation, and Jiang Yanshen is not a fool. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be so easy for us to swallow the Jiang family!¡± ¡°You just have to listen to me obediently and not provoke Lin Qingqian or Jiang Yanshen.¡± Ming Xiao nodded. ¡°I can refrain from provoking her, but I have to make her suffer a little. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to calm the anger in my heart.¡± Ming Yuan didn¡¯t object and instructed, ¡°Hurry up and get rid of that person from the Li family. She¡¯s useless.¡± Because of Li Ruzhu, Li Dashun hade to him several times. How could the Ming Corporation take a fancy to such a smallpany? ¡°Whether the knife is useful or not depends on how the person sharpening it uses it. Li Ruzhu is still useful to me!¡± Ming Xiao smiled and looked at him, pleading, ¡°As for Li Dashun, just throw him some small projects to send him away.¡± Ming Yuan nodded and reminded worriedly, ¡°Don¡¯t let anyone catch your weakness!¡± Ming Xiao revealed a bright smile. ¡°Father, when have I ever let anyone catch my weakness!¡± The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled. In the past, Ming Xiao had forced people to drop out of school andmit suicide out of depression, but she waspletely fine. This was all thanks to her father, Ming Yuan, who had taught her well. From a young age, she was taught to understand human nature and to avoid unnecessary personal exposure whenever possible. Her hands were clean and not stained by a single drop of blood. The light in Ming Xiao¡¯s eyes became even more sinister and terrifying as her red lips curled up¡­ With her father¡¯s words, her angry and anxious emotions gradually calmed down. She had already waited for four years, so there was no hurry. Lin Qingqian walked out of the private clubhouse and got into the car. Chen Mu asked where she was going. She hesitated for a moment before deciding to return to thepany. As for Ming Xiao mentioning Jiang Yanshen¡¯s secret, it was not that she did not have any doubts, but in the end, she dispelled her curiosity. Curiosity and suspicion were both seeds that would sprout. If she believed her words easily and had doubts about Jiang Yanshen, it would be like opening a crack in this rtionship that could allow people to take advantage of it. She was not stupid enough to fall for Ming Xiao¡¯s trap. However, every time she saw Ming Xiao, she would recall the past. Thinking of those disgusting and dark things made her feel very ufortable, so much so that when she returned to thepany, her expression was not very good. Han Liubai happened to return from work. Seeing that her expression was not right, he asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m just¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash over her. Before she could put down her handbag, she ran towards the trash can and bent down to retch. Han Liubai¡¯s expression instantly became nervous. He stepped forward and patted her back. ¡°Why don¡¯t I send you to the hospital?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°No need. I might have caught a cold¡­¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t look too good. You should go to the hospital to take a look,¡± Han Liubai said worriedly. Lin Qingqian was hesitating, but before she could speak, she heard Suisui¡¯s clear voice. ¡°Qianqian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°She¡¯s not feeling well. She was retching just now.¡± Han Liubai frowned tightly, his expression nervous as if she was seriously ill. Suisui blinked and looked at Lin Qingqian¡¯s pale face.. She blurted out, ¡°Qianqian, could it be that you¡¯re pregnant?¡± Chapter 295 - 295: You ‘d Better Stay Away From My Woman Chapter 295 - 295: You ¡®d Better Stay Away From My Woman Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian: Han Liubai: ¡°¡­¡± The atmosphere became awkward and as silent as death. Suisui blinked, feeling that she had said something wrong. She pouted slightly. ¡°I just¡­¡± Before she could finish the rest of her sentence, Han Liubai interrupted, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for offending you.¡± Before Lin Qingqian and Suisui could react, he had already picked her up horizontally and turned to walk out. Lin Qingqian was shocked. When she reacted, she was instantly embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Put me down¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± For the first time, Han Liubai didn¡¯t speak to her in a gentle voice. He frowned and looked so serious as if he was the father of the child in her stomach. Lin Qingqian was frightened by his seriousness. Han Liubai usually did not look healthy and his body was thin. At this moment, he carried her and walked out steadily. After taking a few steps, he thought of something and turned around. ¡°Suisui, inform Director Jiang.¡± Suisui nodded dumbfoundedly. ¡°¡­Oh.¡¯ Han Liubai carried her out of thepany inrge strides. When Chen Mu, who was about to drive the car to the parking lot, saw him carrying Lin Qingqian out, his expression changed slightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Miss Lin?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first.¡± Han Liubai did not answer directly. Chen Mu reacted quickly and opened the car door. Han Liubai carefully ced her in the back seat and turned to get into the front passenger seat. Seeing that they were so serious as if the sky was about to copse, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but rub the space between her eyebrows with a headache. Han Liubai thought that she was feeling ufortable andforted her gently. ¡°We¡¯ll be at the hospital soon. Bear with it.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® What was there to endure? She simply wanted to die! The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Lin Qingqian insisted on not letting Han Liubai carry her into the hospital, and Han Liubai also insisted on not letting her walk by herself. In the end, it was Chen Mu who went to the hospital to push a wheelchair out. Lin Qingqian sat in the wheelchair and was pushed into the hospital by Han Liubai. Han Liubai asked Chen Mu to contact the gynecology and obstetrics department. There were a lot of people in the gynecology and obstetrics department at this time, so they had to wait in the corridor. About ten minutester, Jiang Yanshen came out of the elevator and strode to Lin Qingqian. He squatted down and sized her up from head to toe. After confirming that there were no external injuries, his heart that had been hanging in the air all the way finally rxed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lin Qingqian felt like a duck that had been chased onto the chopping board. ¡°She¡¯s pregnant,¡± Han Liubai, who was standing at the side, whispered. Jiang Yanshen was stunned as he looked at Lin Qingqian with aplicated gaze. ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Lin Qingqian braced herself and exined, ¡°I¡¯m just a little sick. Suisui and the others misunderstood.¡± Although they had been doing it often during this period of time, Jiang Yanshen had always taken safety measures. How could she be pregnant? Jiang Yanshen held her small hand with his warm palm and said calmly, ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, do a checkup and feel more at ease.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him and bit her lip before nodding. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and instructed Lu Yuan, ¡°Go and look for the director. ¡± Lu Yuan understood what he meant and went to look for the head of the hospital. Soon, the hospital head brought the best director of the gynecology and obstetrics department over and took Lin Qingqian for a checkup. Only doctors and patients could enter the consultation room. Jiang Yanshen and Han Liubai could only wait outside. Lu Yuan and Chen Mu were waiting in the distance for orders. Han Liubai and Jiang Yanshen upied both ends of the door of the consultation room. asionally, their eyes would meet and they would quickly look elsewhere. Jiang Yanshen turned to look at him. ¡°It¡¯s enough with me here. President Han can go back now.¡± Han Liubai raised his head to look at him. His usually gentle eyes were calm and cold at this moment. ¡°My concern for Qingqian has nothing to do with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°If she¡¯s pregnant, the child in her stomach will be mine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still Qingqian¡¯s child.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gazended on the door of the consultation room, his expression cold. ¡°No matter who it belongs to, as long as she cares, I¡¯ll protect it well.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Jiang Yanshen sneered and mocked, ¡°You¡¯re quite infatuated. Do the men of your Han Family like to take over so much?¡± His words clearly poked at Han Liubai¡¯s pain, and his pale face was covered with ayer of coldness. ¡°Then what about the men of your Jiang family? Do they only know how to fool around before abandoning their child?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes narrowed. After a few seconds of silence, he said with his jaw clenched, ¡°Jiang Chongyan is already dead. If you want to take revenge, I don¡¯t mind you digging up his grave, but¡ª¡± He paused, his voice cold and filled with warning. ¡°You¡¯d better stay away from my woman. ¡± Han Liubai was about to speak when the door of the consultation room opened. The nurse said, ¡°Who¡¯s the family?¡± ¡°I am.¡± The two men spoke in unison and red at each other. ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend.¡± ¡°I¡¯m her boyfriend.¡± The nurse looked at Han Liubai in confusion and said to Jiang Yanshen, ¡°Go in.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Han Liubai from the corner of his eye and walked into the consultation room. Han Liubai could only stand at the door and watch as he walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and the door slowly closed. Jiang Yanshen sat down beside Lin Qingqian and asked, ¡°Doctor, how is it?¡± ¡°Miss Lin isn¡¯t pregnant.¡± The doctor handed the test results to him. It was filled with professional jargon that he couldn¡¯t understand. However, when he heard the doctor say that she wasn¡¯t pregnant, he heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Then why is she vomiting?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked again. ¡°There are many possibilities. For example, a fake pregnancy or a cold stomach can cause nausea.¡± Jiang Yanshen caught the main point. ¡°Fake pregnancy?¡± ¡°Fake pregnancy is when a woman wants to get pregnant, but there¡¯s no pregnancy reaction. Then, the body will subconsciously have some pregnancy reactions. We call it a fake pregnancy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Lin Qingqian, who had her head lowered the entire time, looked up to defend herself. She secretly swore to sew up Suisui¡¯s mouth when she returned. She had really harmed her badly. She had been embarrassed all the way to her grandmother¡¯s grave. The doctor had seen all kinds of people before and was not surprised by this kind of thing. He said in a very normal tone, ¡°Then go and take a look at the gastroenterology department to confirm if your stomach is sick. ¡± In any case, if she was not pregnant, it had nothing to do with their gynecology and obstetrics department. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and nced at Lin Qingqian with aplicated gaze. His throat bobbed. ¡°Thank you, Doctor.¡± He held Lin Qingqian¡¯s cold hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian followed him out of the consultation room. Han Liubai had yet to leave. When he saw the door of the consultation room open, his gentle eyes were filled with worry as he stared at her. Lin Qingqian sighed secretly. What sins had shemitted! ¡°Xiao Bai, I¡¯m fine. Go back. Ah Yan will apany me to the gastroenterology department.¡± She revealed a forced smile and tactfully expressed that she was not pregnant!! Han Liubai wasn¡¯t disappointed or happy. He said indifferently, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back. Call me if there¡¯s anything.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After Han Liubai left, Lu Yuan helped Lin Qingqian arrange for a gastroenterology checkup. In the end, the conclusion was that she had stomach flu. She was prescribed some medicine and would be fine after two days. Jiang Yanshen suddenly received a call and left a meeting room of executives behind before running out. After bringing Lin Qingqian into the car, he called Song Qin. He asked Song Qin to arrange for the meeting to be postponed until the video conference at night. Then, he told her to send the remaining documents to Begonia Courtyard. His meaning was obvious. He was not going back to thepany. Along the way, Lin Qingqian turned her head to look out of the window. She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. The car stopped at the entrance of Begonia Courtyard. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to get out of the car, the car door was opened. Jiang Yanshen bent down and carried her out of the car. Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender hands instinctively hugged his neck. Her bright eyes were confused as she asked softly, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Didn¡¯t they confirm that she wasn¡¯t pregnant? Jiang Yanshen did not answer. He carried her into the house and instructed Lu Yuan and Chen Mu without looking back, ¡°Don¡¯te in.¡± Lu Yuan and Chen Mu, who originally wanted to follow in, looked at each other and obediently retracted their feet before closing the door considerately. Looking up at the setting sun was so beautiful! Jiang Yanshen carried her to the bedroom on the second floor and carefully ced her on the sofa before squatting down in front of her. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know what he wanted to do. Her curly eyshes fluttered and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± His low and hoarse voice interrupted her words. He held her small hand to his lips and pecked it piously. Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. ¡®Why are you apologizing to me?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and reached out to brush her hair to her ear. His low and hoarse voice was mixed with apology. ¡°Because of me, you can¡¯t have a child. Even if you want to marry me in the future, I can¡¯t give you aplete family.¡± Aplete family required a husband and wife and children. However, because he took medicine all year round, those medicines might cause deformities in the child. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t have children. Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat tightened. Her lips curved as she said softly, ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that I don¡¯t like children? It¡¯s good that there aren¡¯t any children¡­¡± ¡°Qianqian!¡± Jiang Yanshen called out to her but did not say anything. Lin Qingqian looked into his eyes and sighed helplessly. She knew that she could not lie to him. When she was very young, her parents had passed away. She had grown up with her grandfather and Auntie. Every time she held a parent-teacher conference and saw that other people¡¯s guardian were their real parents, she would be very envious. How could someone who had lost the love of their parents since they were young not yearn for a healthy and perfect family? When she saw the children in the vige, she would be happy. How could she not like children? ¡°Ah Yan, do you think I agreed to be with you because I was soft-hearted or hot-headed?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes fluttered as he stared at her without saying a word. ¡°Since I¡¯ve decided to be with you, I¡¯ve already thought of the worst oue.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him quietly, her eyes filled with joy and rity. ¡°One day, when you¡¯re tired of me, I can leave you and continue pursuing my career. You have bipr disorder and a split personality. If you can¡¯t stop taking medicine, it means that you can¡¯t have children. If you¡¯re still not tired of being with me in a few years, we can go and adopt a child. If you¡¯re seriously ill, I¡¯ll take good care of you and cherish every day I¡¯m with you.. If it were me, you would definitely take care of me like this, right?¡± Chapter 296 - 296: When We’re Old, I Can Be Rightfully Buried With You Chapter 296: When We¡¯re Old, I Can Be Rightfully Buried With You Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes were bloodshot, and his tightly pursed lips were trembling. He pulled her into his arms without hesitation. How could there be such a stupid person in this world? She was so silly that his heart ached. Lin Qingqian kissed his chest with the side of her face and grabbed his clothes with both hands. Her voice was gentle. ¡°I¡¯m not soft-hearted or hot-headed when I¡¯m with you, nor am I forcing myself. It¡¯s because I like you and want to be with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that I won¡¯t treat you as everything to me this time. I won¡¯t let you be so tired.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and nted a deep kiss on her forehead. His voice was hoarse. ¡°Silly girl.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and smiled. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if we don¡¯t have a child. You have one in your body anyway.¡± This time, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t change his expression because of her words. His dark eyes were filled with warmth as he stared at her. His fingertips caressed her delicate face and he couldn¡¯t help but lower his head to kiss her twice. ¡°I¡¯ll dote on you if we don¡¯t have children. You¡¯re my princess, my baby¡­¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. The orange light made her cold eyes look a little warmer. ¡°You said this yourself. You can¡¯t go back on your word.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go back on it even if I die.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his head and kissed her lips. He stood up and pressed her onto the sofa¡­ After a round ofmotion, Lin Qingqiany on the bed tiredly, not even bothering to move her toes. Jiang Yanshen got up to pour a ss of water and sat up with her in his arms. ¡°Drink some water. Your throat hurt from shouting just now, right?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was covered in a thinyer of red as she red at him with her watery eyes. Jiang Yanshen looked satisfied and kissed her hair. ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll get Auntie to make it.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat felt much better after drinking half a ss of water. ¡°I want to eat steak.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯ll go make it. You go take a shower.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Jiang Yanshen stood up with the cup in his hand. When he turned around, he suddenly paused and turned around to ask, ¡°Do you need me to carry you to the bathroom?¡± ¡°No need, thank you!¡± Lin Qingqian rejected without thinking. It was unknown how she moved Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart. He bent down and kissed her lips. He rubbed his nose against his round little nose twice and said sincerely, ¡®Qianqian, you¡¯re so cute.¡± With that, he left with the cup without waiting for Lin Qingqian to speak. Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was filled with spring waves. Her heart was numb and sweet from his actions and words. She touched her nose and couldn¡¯t help butugh. As she smiled, she covered her head with the nket and hid tough secretly¡­ Lin Qingqian took a shower and changed into a set of home clothes before going downstairs. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s steak had also just been prepared and was brought to the dining table. The auntie walked out with a te of sd and quickly returned to the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen asked, ¡°Do you need red wine?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected the alcohol. Jiang Yanshen did not persuade her anymore. Instead, he took the cutlery and patiently helped her cut the steak evenly. Lin Qingqian sat at the side, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at him happily. Who would have thought that this man who was so decisive in the business world would help her cut steak at home? If it were eight years ago, she would not have dared to imagine that she would be treated as a treasure by him one day. She was afraid that she would lose it if she ced it in her palm and put it in her mouth. In the past eight years, the verse she had begged for, ¡°The body is unparalleled, but the heart has a little spirituality¡± finally came true. Jiang Yan saw her staring at him in a daze. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°In the end, my wish was fulfilled.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up, not understanding. ¡°Nothing, just eat.¡± Lin Qingqian did not exin to him and lowered her head to enjoy the fruits of hisbor. Seeing that she did not say anything, Jiang Yanshen did not ask further and ate quietly. When he was almost done eating, the phone suddenly rang. He nced at the caller ID and put down his cutlery to answer the call. She didn¡¯t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but his expression changed slightly. His low voice was concise as he said, ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll be there in a while.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her bright eyes filled with curiosity and confusion. Jiang Yanshen put down his phone and looked at her. ¡°Chairman Liang passed away two hours ago. I¡¯m going to the Liang family.¡± Lin Qingqian put down her cutlery. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen hesitated for a moment and nodded. ¡°Alright. Madam Liang has always liked you. You might be able to make her feel better if you go over andfort her.¡± At 10 pm, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen arrived at the Liang Family. The servants were already setting up the mourning hall. Chairman Liang¡¯s body was ced in the hall for the people who came to pay their respects. Madam Liang sat on the sofa with her son, wife, and granddaughter beside her. Her face was haggard, and her eyes were red, but she did not shed any more tears. Jiang Yanshen held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and walked over, saying in a low voice, ¡°Madam Liang, my condolences.¡± Madam Liang looked up at them, especially when she saw Lin Qingqian, there was a hint of constion in her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Lin Qingqianforted her softly. ¡°Madam Liang, please take care of yourself.¡± Madam Liang nodded and waved at her. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time. Come to my side and talk to me.¡± Lin Qingqian first nced at Jiang Yanshen. Seeing him nod, she walked towards Madam Liang. When Madam Liang saw this, she stood up and said softly, ¡°Lan¡¯er, apany me to burn incense for Grandpa.¡± Liang Lan nodded with red eyes. She stood up and followed her mother to the mourning hall to burn incense. President Liang and Jiang Yanshen walked to the balcony outside. Madam Liang held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand with her withered fingers and said in relief, ¡°You¡¯re really considerate to make this trip sote.¡± Lin Qingqian held her hand back. ¡°Madam Liang¡­ Madam Liang patted her hand gently with her other hand. ¡°There¡¯s no need tofort me. I¡¯m already so old. I can¡¯t force those who should leave to stay. It¡¯s not good. ¡± She nced at the ceiling, implying something. ¡°I heard that Chairman Liang died very peacefully and didn¡¯t suffer.¡± Chairman Liang suddenly had a cerebral infarction and left before he could be saved. In less than a few minutes, he left quickly without any pain. It was also a form offort for the family. Madam Liang nodded. ¡°Yes, I was by his side when he left. He don¡¯t have any regrets.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes looked at her weathered facial features. It was a faint atmosphere after experiencing all the suffering in the world. ¡°I believe that Chairman Liang will always look after you even in the sky, so you have to take good care of yourself. Don¡¯t let him worry.¡± Madam Liang lowered her eyes and looked at her. She pursed her lips. ¡°Child, at our age, there¡¯s nothing we can¡¯t let go of. I¡¯ve been with him for my entire life and I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve let him down! Now that he¡¯s gone, although I¡¯m sad, I also know that we won¡¯t be separated for long. In the remaining time, I want to go out and take a look at Yu Mountain. ¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t persuade her not to wander around at her age. Instead, sheforted her. ¡°Alright, my Auntie is at Yu Mountain. If you go back, I¡¯ll get her to make delicious food for you.¡± Madam Liang nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Lass, you¡¯re a smart child. Take it easy and don¡¯t make things difficult for yourself.¡± Madam Liangforted her. Lin Qingqian blinked, her bright eyes filled with confusion. Madam Liang smiled. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been easy for you and Yanshen. How many more seven years do you have to waste? Let go of what you should.¡± She sighed earnestly. Lin Qingqian was stunned and subconsciously looked at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall figure outside the window. Jiang Yanshen was talking to President Liang when he seemed to sense something. He turned his head and met her gaze. The autumn dew was heavy. In the dim light, the two of them looked at each other through the cold ss, but their hearts surged with warmth. It was past one in the morning and Madam Liang was in low spirits. Madam Liang and Liang Lan helped her upstairs to rest. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian also returned to Begonia Courtyard. When Lin Qingqian came out of the bathroom, she saw Jiang Yanshen standing in front of the window sill with a cigarette in his hand. Pale smoke curled up, but he did not bring it to his mouth for a long time. She walked over and hugged his waist from behind. The smell of ebony agarwood and tobo mixed in the air. Jiang Yanshen immediately extinguished the cigarette butt, opened the window, and threw it out. He then opened the window to ventte. He turned around and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He lowered his head and said, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head and buried her head in his arms without saying a word. ¡°Then go to sleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen bent down and carried her to the bed to put her down. Lin Qingqian sat on the bed but didn¡¯t lie down. She watched as he pulled open the nket and covered himself with it. When his slippersnded on the bed, she turned sideways and pulled open the bedside table, taking out a box. Jiang Yanshen covered himself with the nket and paused when he saw the box in her hand from the corner of his eye. Lin Qingqian opened the velvet box and a sparkling diamond ring entered her vision. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Ah Yan, do you know why I¡¯m unwilling to remarry?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were deep as he stared at her quietly without saying anything. Because he didn¡¯t know. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him, her clear eyes flowing with gentleness. ¡°Because I always feel that as long as we don¡¯t get married, when you want to break up one day, I can also convince myself that it¡¯s just a breakup and not a divorce. I won¡¯t be so sad.¡± If a breakup was a serious injury, a divorce would be a process of skinning and tendon removal. No one understood how determined she had been when she decided to get a divorce. No one would understand how exhausted she had been in that marriage. She had almost emptied herself and exhausted all her strength. How could she dare to marry him again so easily? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart sank. His thin lips pursed slightly without saying anything, and his ck eyes were filled with heartache as he stared at her. Lin Qingqian took out the ring from the velvet box and looked up at him with a smile. ¡°Now that I¡¯ve thought it through, no matter what happens in the future, I just have to respect my heart now. Marriage might not guarantee our rtionship. But at the very least, if something happens to one of us one day, the other party can legitimately sign and arrange the rest. If we¡¯re lucky, we can officially be buried together when we¡¯re old.¡± Her fair and slender fingers pinched the wedding ring, wanting to put on her ring finger. Jiang Yanshen suddenly grabbed her wrist and refused to let go. Lin Qingqian looked up at him in confusion.. Chapter 297 - 297: Happy Marriage, Madam Jiang Chapter 297: Happy Marriage, Madam Jiang Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen took away the wedding ring, got off the bed, and walked around the end of the bed to her side. Just as Lin Qingqian was curious about what he wanted to do, his tall figure suddenly sank and he knelt on one knee, instantly looking up. Lin Qingqian was stunned and stared at him with her bright eyes. Jiang Yanshen knelt on one knee, not even wearing his shoes. He looked up at the woman sitting on the bed with a nk expression. ¡°Qianqian, you know that I¡¯ve never been a romantic person. Every time I want to do something to make you happy, I can¡¯t do it well, and I won¡¯t say those touching words. But at least¡­ Let me put on the wedding ring for you myself, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s bright eyes were misty. She pursed her lips and felt that her throat was blocked by something. She could only nod. ¡°Give me your hand.¡± Seeing her silly look, Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but remind her. Only then did Lin Qingqian realize what was going on and handed her right hand to him. Jiang Yanshen held her fair hand and slowly put the wedding ring on her ring finger. The size was neither too big nor too small. It was just right. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her fingers. Then, he stood up and bent down to kiss her red lips. ¡°Let¡¯s go register tomorrow, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded without any hesitation. Jiang Yanshen got onto the bed and hugged her. As he held her small hand and looked at the wedding ring, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll repay everything I owe you in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her nose. ¡°In the future, you can officially be buried with me.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and tilted her head to look at him. ¡°I still have to work after we get married. You¡¯re not allowed to interfere.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen agreed decisively. ¡°If I go on a business trip, you can¡¯t stop me. After all, you used to go on business trips often.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned and nodded after a moment of hesitation. Who asked him to have a bad record? He had no right to object. ¡°You can¡¯t be jealous casually. After all, many of the people I work with will be of the opposite sex. Oh, and¡­¡¯ ¡°There¡¯s more?¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but interrupt her. ¡°Are you going to be Madam Jiang or the president?¡± ¡°Do you have a problem with my work now?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her chin. She was not afraid of him. Jiang Yanshen said helplessly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t dare. I¡¯ll do whatever Madam Jiang says. ¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with starlight after the gxy shattered. Her red lips curled into a smile. ¡°That¡¯s more like it¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed by Jiang Yanshen. ¡°I don¡¯t dare to have any objections, but we¡¯re husband and wife. I hope Madam Jiang can cooperate and fulfill her obligations.¡± Lin Qingqian: Again!!! It rained when it was almost dawn. In the morning, the air was wet and dark clouds covered the sun. It was obvious that it was not good weather. However, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s moods were not affected. Because they were going to register their marriage, they were both wearing white shirts. Lin Qingqian, who didn¡¯t wear makeup at important asions, specially put on light makeup. With lipstick on, she looked energetic and full of energy. On the way to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Qingqian thought of a very important question. ¡°I tore my divorce certificate and threw it away. If I remarry, will I need the divorce certificate? What should I do?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to get all the necessary documents.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand tightly tofort her. He paused and frowned. ¡°You even tore up the divorce certificate?¡± How much did she not want to be rted to him? Lin Qingqian smiled awkwardly. ¡°At that time, I didn¡¯t think that I would remarry.¡± She was already mentally prepared to die alone. Who would have thought that she would get back together with him? Jiang Yanshen raised his hand and scratched the tip of her nose. ¡°You¡¯re quite ruthless.¡± He had never thrown away anything of hers, not even the divorce certificate. ¡°Isn¡¯t this my strength?¡± Lin Qingqian curled her lips. ¡°I¡¯ll love to my heart¡¯s content. If I give up, I¡¯ll let gopletely.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. ¡°It¡¯s a very good trait. Continue to maintain it.¡± Because they had to make up for the documents, they waited two hours before they couldplete the marriage procedures. The entire process was very smooth. It was over in ten minutes. She walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with two small notebooks. Lin Qingqian held the small red booklet with mixed feelings. She was happy, but she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°I¡¯ve really jumped into the same fire pit twice.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and took the small red book from her hand and put it in his pocket. ¡®What are you doing with my marriage certificate?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°You have a previous record, so I¡¯ll keep the marriage certificate,¡± Jiang Yanshen said seriously. Lin Qingqian: ¡® She had never thought of remarrying when she tore the divorce certificate. Why would she tear the marriage certificate for no reason? Jiang Yanshen took out a colorful piece of paper from his pocket, tore it open, and fed it to her. ¡°Happy marriage, Madam Jiang.¡± Lin Qingqian put the candy into her mouth, and the sweetness instantly spread in her mouth, all the way to her heart. ¡°Mr. Jiang, happy marriage.¡± When Lu Yuan, who was standing at the side, saw this scene, he couldn¡¯t help but cough lightly to remind him, ¡°Director Jiang, wedding candies are for others to eat.¡± The smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips visibly darkened as he looked at him disdainfully. ¡°I¡¯m only giving it to Madam Jiang. What¡¯s the problem?¡± Lu Yuan ¡® No problem. No problem, my ass! Jiang Yanshen held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and his voice became gentle again. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you to work.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. As she followed him to the car by the roadside, she asked curiously, ¡°Where did you get the candy?¡± ¡°When you went to the washroom, I asked the person beside me for it.¡± Lin Qingqian: Lu Yuan ¡® As the President of Tianyue Group and the head of the Jiang Family, it was one thing for him to not treat people to wedding candies when he got married, but he even asked passersby for candy! How shameless!!! On the way to thepany, Lin Qingqian tactfully expressed that the matter of registering for marriage should not be announced for the time being. They would talk about it when there was a suitable opportunity in the future. Jiang Yanshen frowned, clearly unwilling to keep the marriage a secret. He couldn¡¯t wait to announce to the world that this woman was his wife. Lin Qingqian reached out and tugged at his sleeve, staring at him with her sparkling eyes. ¡°We¡¯re already husband and wife. What does it matter if others know?¡± Jiang Yanshen kept a straight face and did not speak. ¡°Besides, we¡¯re not celebrities. It¡¯s not good to always be on the trending searches. Don¡¯t waste public resources.¡± Lin Qingqian shook his arm gently and coaxed him softly. ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen held herrge hand and said in a helpless tone, ¡°The registration of the wedding will not be announced for the time being, but when the wedding is almost ready, it will be announced. We still have to inform Grandma and Auntie.¡± At the mention of Auntie, Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze became even more guilty. Her red lips pursed tightly and she did not say anything. Jiang Yanshen saw through her at a nce. ¡°You haven¡¯t told Auntie yet?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t find a suitable opportunity, right?¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip and said, ¡°It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know how much Auntie doesn¡¯t like you. What if I call her and tell her that she flew to Lan City at all cost to force me to return to Yu Mountain with her?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°At all cost?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t doubt it. My Auntie will definitely do such a thing!¡± Lin Qingqian said seriously, ¡°She is famous for being shrewish and difficult to deal with. She¡¯s been prejudiced against you for a long time. If I had told her earlier that we were together, she definitely wouldn¡¯t have let me register my marriage with you.¡± ¡°Then what are you nning to do now?¡± Jiang Yanshen pinched her little hand and asked, ¡°We can¡¯t possibly not invite her to the wedding.¡± Lin Qingqian pondered and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go back and tell her in person during the new year. No matter how much she objects, I¡¯ll definitely try my best to convince her.¡± Jiang Yanshen said without thinking, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian immediately rejected his suggestion. ¡°You were able to leave that ce safely that time because Auntie knew that I wouldn¡¯t be with you. Now that she knows that we¡¯ve remarried, she¡¯ll really cut you with a kitchen knife if you go.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s frown deepened, and his eyes darkened, his face filled with displeasure. He felt that she seemed to see him as a very shameful and annoying person. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely convince Auntie.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s light and pleasant voice was firm as she said, ¡°I¡¯ll let Auntie change her opinion of you before you go over to pick me up, okay?¡± Jiang Yanshen hesitated for a moment before finally giving in. He raised his hand that was holding hers and lowered his head to kiss her fair fingers. He stared at her with warm eyes. ¡°No matter how many people object, I want to marry you.¡± His low and hoarse voice was filled with determination. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curved. ¡°I¡¯ve already married you.¡± ¡°This time, I want you to wear a wedding dress and be the legitimate Madam Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen said seriously, his expression carrying a hint of childish stubbornness. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and yed with his fingers. ¡°When I convince Auntie during the new year, Lan City will be cold for a period of time. When the weather is warmer, we¡¯ll take wedding photos and hold a wedding.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about the wedding. I¡¯ll do it.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and asked, ¡°Then can I take off my wedding ring now?¡± Since they were going to hide their marriage, they naturally couldn¡¯t wear their wedding rings. Otherwise, it would be equivalent to announcing to the world. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows suddenly tightened, his eyes dark. It was obvious that he did not want her to take off her wedding ring. ¡°It¡¯s too ostentatious.¡± Lin Qingqian lifted her pants, revealing her exquisite ankles. ¡°I¡¯ve been wearing the anklet all this time and haven¡¯t taken it off.¡± Only then did Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression look a little better. He reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. ¡°You¡¯re just being arrogant because you¡¯re spoiled.¡± Lin Qingqian let go of his hand as she took off the ring and ced it carefully in her bag. She retorted softly, ¡°You¡¯re clearly arrogant because of your marriage.¡± In any case, there was no difference. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t dwell on this problem with her. He pulled her into his arms with his long arms and lowered his head to kiss her hair. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up tonight and we¡¯ll go for dinner.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded in agreement. No matter what, this was the first day of their remarriage. They should eat and celebrate. The car stopped at the entrance of thepany. Jiang Yanshen reluctantly let go and watched her leave. Only then did he instruct the chauffeur to return to Tianyue Group. As soon as Lin Qingqian entered the office, Suisui hurriedly ran in and asked impatiently, ¡°How is it? Is it in the bag?¡± Chapter 298 - 298: I’ll Give You Ten Seconds to Let Go of My People Chapter 298: I¡¯ll Give You Ten Seconds to Let Go of My People Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°In the bag my a*s.¡± Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. She grabbed the pillow on the chair and smashed it at her face. Suisui dodged quickly and picked up the pillow on the ground. She ced it on the table and said with an embarrassed smile, ¡°I was just saying it casually. Who would have thought that Xiao Bai would be so serious?¡± ¡°If you spout nonsense again in the future, do you believe that I¡¯ll let your idol run the red carpet naked?¡± Lin Qingqian threatened her. Suisui immediately cowered and pressed her palms together as she begged, ¡°I was wrong. If you have anyints,e at me. Don¡¯t implicate my child.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say this before?¡± Lin Qingqian sat down and turned on theputer as she said, ¡°The idol will pay for the actions of the fans.¡± Suisui curled her lips. ¡°I really know my mistake. I won¡¯t spout nonsense anymore. If I spout nonsense again, my child won¡¯t be able to get a wife, okay?¡± In any case, she did not think that there were many women in the entertainment industry who were worthy of her child. Lin Qingqian really couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t you find it awkward for a single young woman like you to think about being a Mom to a man older than you all day?¡± ¡°No.¡± Suisui pulled out a chair and sat down. She said with a love-struck expression, ¡°In the past, I thought that Lu Qinshang was the kind of handsome and adorable person. I wanted to be his mother and also craved his body! ¡°Now that he doesn¡¯t have the halo of a male god, I¡¯mpletely a mommy fan! He¡¯s really too cute!¡± Lin Qingqianined expressionlessly, ¡°Are you sure he¡¯s not an idiot?¡± Suisui blinked. ¡°He looks very cute when he¡¯s silly.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Girls who chased after celebrities were hopeless. After work in the evening, Lin Qingqian had just packed her things and was about to get off work when she received a call from Jiang Yanshen. His car was already at the door. Lin Qingqian ended the call and walked out of thepany to see the familiar Maybach. After taking a few steps, she saw the window of the front passenger seat roll down. Lu Qinshang popped his head out and waved enthusiastically. ¡°Hi, President Lin!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Was this fellow too free recently? She was clearly only two steps away, but Jiang Yanshen still got out of the car to pick her up. ¡°I don¡¯t want to hide it from them. Let¡¯s tell them when we eatter, okay?¡± His tone sounded like she was asking for her permission, but since the other party was already here, she couldn¡¯t say no! Moreover, she had never thought of hiding it from Lu Qinshang and the others. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Get in.¡± When Lu Qinshang heard their words, he asked curiously, ¡°What are you going to tell us?¡± After Lin Qingqian sat down, she said slowly, ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± ¡°Why do you want to leave people hanging? Tell me now!¡± Lu Qinshang was impatient and did not want to wait a second. He looked eagerly at the two people in the back seat. However, the two of them did not seem to hear his voice at all. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Have you taken the medicine? Does your stomach still feel ufortable?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Yanshen picked her hair out of her clothes and said in a gentle voice, ¡°The weather has turned cold. Don¡¯t drink cold water anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°Alright, Su Ying bought me a thermos sk. I¡¯m making wolfberries soup every day.¡± Lu Qinshang: F*ck! Why didn¡¯t I drive my own car? Why did I take this dog food truck? Why?!! The restaurant was booked by Song Qin. It was a Chinese restaurant. The private room was clean and elegant, and the dishes were not bad. When they arrived, Jiang Yunshen had already finished a pot of tea. Jiang Yanshen pulled Lin Qingqian to sit down and poured her tea. Lu Qinshang was still asking what they were going to announce. Lin Qingqian nced at him. ¡°Everyone is not here yet. Why are you in a hurry?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and remained silent. Jiang Yanshen did not even give him a nce. Instead, Jiang Yunshen drank his tea silently and nced at Lu Qinshang with strong disdain from the corner of his eye. Gu Xici came a littlete. When he entered the private room, he was still sweating profusely. His cold facial features were filled with an apologetic smile. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯mte because I¡¯m dealing with a case.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. From the looks of it, it should be a big case.¡± Lin Qingqian pushed the tea that Jiang Yanshen had poured on the table over. Gu Xici picked it up and took a sip. ¡°Yes, I still have to go back to the station after dinner.¡± Lin Qingqian understood that he was busy and urgent with his work, so she asked the Manager to quickly serve the dishes. Seeing that everyone was here, Lu Qinshang asked again, ¡®What exactly are you going to announce?¡± When Gu Xici, who was drinking tea, heard his words, he looked at the two of them curiously. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen looked at each other. They smiled and didn¡¯t speak in a hurry. Instead, they each took out a ring from their bag and put it on their ring fingers in front of them. Lu Qinshang suddenly gasped, his face filled with disbelief. Gu Xici was slightly stunned before he reacted and immediately congratted them. Jiang Yunshen looked calm. He had known this morning. Not only did he know, but he was also called into the office to receive special instructions. Simply put, Jiang Yanshen was worried that Jiang Yunshen would make a mistake and called him into the office to beat him up. If he dared to be disrespectful to Lin Qingqian in the future, he would break his legs. Jiang Yunshen touched his knee that was still hurting under the table, his stomach full of bitterness. Lu Qinshang clenched his fists and said crazily, ¡°You, how can you register your marriage?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could ask why, she heard him say, ¡°All right, my old man will definitely scold me. Look, Jiang Yanshen is already remarried, but I don¡¯t even have a girlfriend! Where do you want me to put my face?¡± Lin Qingqian: Jiang Yanshen ruthlessly added, ¡°Isn¡¯t this the truth?¡± Lu Qinshang: My heart hurts! ¡°Tonight is your celebration day, but I can¡¯t drink because I must return to the police stationter. I can only use this tea as wine to wish you a blissful marriage and hope you can grow old together.¡± Gu Xici raised his teacup to toast them. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen picked up their teacups and took a sip, thanking him. Lu Qinshang hugged Jiang Yunshen¡¯s shoulder sadly. ¡°Little Yunshen, from now on, only the three of us will be single!¡± Jiang Yunshen shook off his arm in disdain. ¡°I¡¯m only 23 years old. I¡¯m different from you. I¡¯m not in a hurry to get married and have children.¡± Lu Qinshang looked at Gu Xici. Before he could get close, Gu Xici reached out and pushed his face away. ¡°I don¡¯t intend to change my sexual orientation. Stay away from me.¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°¡­I don¡¯t either, alright! That was just nonsense when I was drunkst time!¡± Gu Xici: ¡°Hurhur.¡± Lu Oinshang: Gu Xici and Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t drink, but Lin Qingqian and Lu Qinshang, and Jiang Yunshen, ordered wine. Lin Qingqian was happy, and Lu Qinshang was sad. Jiang Yunshen had note out to y for a long time, so he took the opportunity to drink some wine tonight. Ever since Jiang Chongjing and Wu Suyun died, he seemed to have changed his personality. He went to work on time every day and worked seriously. He hadpletely cut off all contact with those rich second-generation heirs. Probably because of this, Jiang Yanshen let him and Lin Qingqian drink without stopping them. After eating for two hours, Gu Xici rushed back to the police station to work on the case. Jiang Yunshen had drunk a little too much, so Jiang Yanshen asked the chauffeur to help him to the car. Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t drink much. Jiang Yanshen originally wanted to ask someone to send him back, but he rejected him. Seeing that he was not drunk, Jiang Yanshen ignored him and carried the red-faced Lin Qingqian out. Lu Qinshang went to the washroom and was about to go home when he passed by a private room and heard a familiar voice. ¡°I already said that I don¡¯t like you. I only listened to my parents and came to see you. I didn¡¯t agree to be your girlfriend.¡± The door of the private room wasn¡¯t closed and was ajar, so he stretched out a finger and pushed it open. A cute little face came into view. The man was very close to her and grabbed her hand with an unruly expression. ¡°Why are you pretending to y hard to get? I only came to eat with you because I like you. Stop pretending to be a chaste woman in front of me¡­ You have to listen to me when you marry into our family in the future¡­¡± Suisui was about to scold him when a cold voice came from the door. ¡°I¡¯ll give you ten seconds to let go of my people.¡± Why did this voice sound so familiar? Suisui turned her head to look at the door. Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly widened, and she was so shocked that her eyes were about to fall out. Lu¡­ Lu Qinshang!! Why was he here? The man looked up at Lu Qinshang, who was leaning against the door, and said unhappily, ¡°Who are you?¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡®You don¡¯t even know who I am, and you dare to fool around in Lan City!¡± Seeing that he looked a little familiar, the man asked curiously, ¡°Lu Qinshang?¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He strode over and shook off his hand. His usually teasing and flirtatious eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°If you know it¡¯s me, get lost quickly. You can¡¯tpare to me in terms of money. In terms of looks¡­ Tsk tsk¡­¡± The words ¡°tsk tsk¡± had already drowned out the humiliation of more than 5,000 words. The man¡¯s gloomy eyes darted between the two of them. In the end, he only red fiercely at Suisui before turning to leave. ¡°Hey, you¡ª¡± Suisui wanted to get up and chase after him, but Lu Qinshang pressed her back onto the chair. ¡°What? Why would you chase after such a scumbag? Keeping him for self-torture?!¡± ¡°But he didn¡¯t pay¡­¡± She pointed in the direction where the man had walked out. ¡°He was the one who insisted oning here to eat!¡± A casual meal in this restaurant would cost 2,000 yuan! Lu Qinshang nced at her and turned to walk towards the door. Suisui stood up. ¡°Hey, where are you going? Lu Qinshang said without looking back, ¡°I¡¯ll pay the bill!¡± Suisui came back to her senses and hurriedly chased after him. ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­¡± In the end, it was Lu Qinshang who paid the bill. Suisui followed behind him obediently like a bullied wife. Lu Qinshang walked to the side of the road and stopped. Suisui didn¡¯t notice and she bumped into his back. She was in so much pain that tears were about to fall. Lu Qinshang turned around and saw her covering her nose with tears in her eyes. He reached out and pinched her chin. He removed her hand and looked down at her nose. ¡°Let me see¡­ Suisui let go of her hand for him to see, tears welling up in her eyes. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You don¡¯t have a nosebleed.¡± Lu Qinshang let go. Suisui curled her lips. ¡°It hurts.¡± ¡°Serves you right!¡± Lu Qinshang reprimanded angrily. ¡®Who asked you not to look where you¡¯re going?¡± Before Suisui could exin, she heard him say, ¡°Also, who asked you toe out for dinner with a strange man?¡± Chapter 299 - 299: Idol Disqualified Chapter 299: Idol Disqualified Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui blinked. ¡°My parents.¡± Lu Qinshang: . Suisui touched the tip of her nose that no longer hurt so much and lowered her eyebrows. ¡°My parents said that his family is not bad and he¡¯s a good person, so they made mee out to go on a blind date.¡± Lu Qinshang turned his head and looked at her disdainfully. ¡°Good conditions? And a good person? How can his family be richer than mine? Is he as handsome as me?¡± Suisui looked up at him with her almond-shaped eyes¡­ What did he mean by that? Why did it seem like she had cheated and was caught red-handed? Was her child drunk tonight? Lu Qinshang also realized that something was wrong. He coughed lightly and exined, ¡°You¡¯re my number one Maple Leaf after all. How can you casually find a man to go on a blind date with, let alone fall in love and get married? Do you understand!¡± Suisui understood. ¡°Then what isn¡¯t casual?¡± Lu Qinshang thought for a moment. ¡°His conditions can¡¯t be worse than mine, and his looks can¡¯t be worse than mine. Otherwise, it¡¯ll make my fans look like they don¡¯t have any aesthetic taste.¡± Suisui¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly as she looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Big Brother, do you know how many men in the entire Lan City canpare to you?¡± She counted with her fingers. ¡°Take the people around you. Jiang Yanshen is Qianqian¡¯s boyfriend. Officer Gu is alright, but my parents don¡¯t allow me to marry a policeman. They say it¡¯s too dangerous. Jiang Yunshen is alright, but I don¡¯t like rtionships with younger guys. Even if the other rich second -generation heirs take a fancy to me, I won¡¯t dare to marry them if our families aren¡¯tpatible. Big Brother, do you know how difficult it is for me to find someone with simr conditions as you?¡± Why don¡¯t you ask me to marry you directly? Pfft! I¡¯m dirty. How can I crave my child¡¯s body! Lu Qinshang feltfortable from her ttery. The unhappiness in his heart instantly dissipated, and his voice softened. ¡°That¡¯s true. It¡¯s indeed very difficult to find a man with money, looks, and character like me.¡± ¡°But don¡¯t be discouraged. You¡¯ll encounter one eventually.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you for your kind words, Big Brother.¡± An empty car drove over from the side of the road. Suisui reached out to stop it. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯ll send you back since you drank.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯m not drunk. Let me send you back..¡± Lu Qinshang had just taken a step when he suddenly felt dizzy. His vision darkened and he bumped into the car door. Suisui quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him back. ¡°Big Brother, are you alright?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his hand and rubbed his temples. ¡°F*ck, why is my head so dizzy!¡± ¡°You must be drunk!¡± Suisui helped him into the car. ¡°Big Brother, where are you staying? Lu Qinshang gave an address and the chauffeur immediately stepped on the elerator. Suisui relied on her thin body to withstand his weight. Lu Qinshang was usually busy with work and did not want to be nagged at by the old man, so he lived in the vi he had bought. Suisui paid the fare and helped him to the door with difficulty. Lu Qinshang was drunk and in a daze. He couldn¡¯t respond to her questions, so Suisui could only try his fingers one by one on the finger pad. After finally unlocking the electronic lock, she helped him to the bedroom on the second floor. The other doors were closed, and only one was open. Suisui helped him over and touched the switch on the wall. The warm light illuminated the entire room. Suisui nced at it briefly and was secretly excited. This is my child¡¯s room. Suisui helped him to the bed with difficulty. Lu Qinshangy on the bed. Her heart ached for her child¡¯s handsome face. She flipped Lu Qinshang over with great effort and lowered her head to check. Fortunately, his handsome face was not damaged at all. As expected, pure natural quality was good. Suisui bent down to take off his shoes and covered him with the nket. She stood up and looked around. This was her child¡¯s room. It looked too monotonous. It was really filled with a straight manly aura! An immature thought appeared in her mind. It was rare for her to enter her child¡¯s house. Of course, she had to do something! Although she knew in her heart that such behavior was wrong and that she was an illegitimate fan and would be despised, she¡­ really couldn¡¯t help it. Suisui took out her phone and opened the camera function. She first took a photo of the room before the cameranded on Lu Qinshang¡¯s face. ¡°My child is so good-looking. He¡¯s still so handsome without any filters on his face.¡± After taking the video, she couldn¡¯t help but turn on the front camera. She leaned towards the bed and wanted to take a photo with her child alone. One was not enough. One more. She wasn¡¯t satisfied with the photos, so she tried it again¡­ After taking the photos, Suisui lowered her head and checked the photos, her eyes filled with joy. ¡°I didn¡¯t go on tonight¡¯s blind date for nothing.¡± ¡°Am I handsome?¡± A manly low voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Suisui was shocked and dropped her cell phone on the bed. She turned her head and met Lu Qinshang¡¯s ck eyes. His face was very close, and his breathnded on her face¡­ Her breathing was about to stop, and her heart was beating wildly. She silently gulped and said, ¡°Handsome¡­¡± Lu Qinshang smiled. ¡®You¡¯re very beautiful too¡­¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened. She did not expect to be praised by her idol for her beauty one day. Her heart was about to explode. However, before she could react, His ck eyes gradually burned as he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers without warning. Suisui: Mother, I¡¯m really dead this time!! Jiang Yanshen brought Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yunshen back to Begonia Courtyard and asked the chauffeur to throw Jiang Yunshen into the guest room while he carried Lin Qingqian back to the bedroom. Lin Qingqian wasn¡¯t drunk, but her cheeks were red and her eyes were blurry. She hugged his waist and couldn¡¯t let go. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart softened. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Lin Qingqian shook her head, her voice soft and charming. ¡°No¡­ I don¡¯t want to drink water.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head, his dark eyes filled with warmth. ¡°Then I¡¯ll carry you to take a shower.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. Her slender hands wrapped around his neck, and she crawled into his arms like a ko. Jiang Yanshen was deeply afraid that she would fall. He wrapped hisrge hand around her slender waist and held her firmly with his other hand. Lin Qingqian pressed her lips against his ear. She said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s shower together.¡± His burning eyes were stunned. After a moment, he reacted and smiled. He replied dotingly, ¡°Alright.¡± It waste at night, and the night sky was as dark as arge ck cloth that covered the entire city. Lin Qingqian fell into a deep sleep, but Jiang Yanshen still could not fall asleep. He got up, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them on before leaving the room quietly. The lights downstairs were as bright as day. A deste figure sat on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling as if he was in a daze. Hearing footsteps, Jiang Yunshen turned his head and saw him. ¡°Brother, why aren¡¯t you asleep?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked to the dining table and poured a ss of water. ¡°I came down to drink some water.¡± He nced at him as if asking, ¡°What about you?¡± Jiang Yunshen lowered his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I suddenly woke up from the alcohol and couldn¡¯t fall back asleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen walked to his side and sat down. ¡°Do you miss your mother?¡± Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t deny it. ¡°You can move in here for a few days.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned his head and looked at him in confusion. ¡°You want me to move over?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm as his fingertips gently rubbed the rim of the cup. ¡°I n to renovate the old residence. You can move back when it¡¯s done.¡± ¡°You¡¯re here with Lin- Sister-inw, I won¡¯te to join in the fun. I¡¯ll stay in a hotel.¡± Jiang Yunshen originally wanted to say Lin Qingqian, but he caught himself and immediately changed the way he addressed her. ¡°If I tell you to move over, move over.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at him and patted his face with his other hand. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll send you to Ennd. ¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Damn it! Threatening me again! Are you my brother or not! Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and stood up with his hands in his pockets. He said calmly, ¡°Rest early.¡± With that, he turned around and went upstairs. The next day, Lu Qinshang was woken up by the ringing of his phone. He did not even open his eyes. He touched his cell phone and picked up the call. ¡°Hello¡­¡± The call was from Sister Chan, asking him to hurry over for a meeting! ¡°Got it,¡± Lu Qinshang replied in azy voice before hanging up and continuing to sleep. Suddenly, he realized that something was wrong. He sat up abruptly and lifted the nket to take a look. ¡°F*ck!¡± What happenedst night? He kept recalling what happenedst night. He originally nned to send the little girl home, but he suddenly felt very dizzy and drunk. Then¡­ He couldn¡¯t remember what had happened. However, the messy bed sheets and the sticky, ambiguous, andfortable feeling reminded him that what should have happened¡­ seemed to have happened. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but p himself. He had actually bedded a fan! He actually did such a shameless thing!! How was this an idol delinquency? He was simply worse than a beast. Especially when he saw the faint traces of blood on the bed sheets, Lu Qinshang felt that he deserved to die. He took a shower and changed his clothes before going to the office. When he passed by the dressing room, he saw someone putting on makeup for Ren Guangxi. ¡°You have an appointment today?¡± Ren Guangxi saw Lu Qinshang walking in through the mirror and greeted him, ¡°Brother Lu, we¡¯re going to the television station to record a music program tonight.¡± Lu Qinshang nced at the makeup artist. ¡°I don¡¯t think you were the one who applied makeup for Ren Guangxi previously, right?¡± When the makeup artist was called out, she hurriedly exined, ¡°Previously, it was Suisui who applied makeup for Ren Guangxi. However, she wasn¡¯t feeling well today and called to apply for leave, asking me to rece her.¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. Not feeling well? Did I hurt herst night? Am I that powerful? ¡°President Lu, am I not good at makeup?¡± The makeup artist asked carefully when she saw that he was silent. ¡°No, continue.¡± Lu Qinshang came back to his senses and patted Ren Guangxi¡¯s shoulder before turning to leave. When Lu Qinshang returned to the office, his mind was filled with thoughts ofst night. He racked his brains but could not remember those details. Sister Chan knocked on the door and entered. ¡®You were the one who said that there would be a meeting today, but you didn¡¯te yourself. If you don¡¯t want to work hard, don¡¯t pull me in back then.¡± Sister Chan was a senior manager in the entertainment industry and had a lot of connections and resources. Lu Qinshang had worked with her for so long and the two of them were already friends. They naturally did not hide anything when they spoke.. Chapter 300 - 300: Exposed Chapter 300: Exposed Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang pretended not to hear her and suddenly asked, ¡°You have that girl¡¯s phone number, right?¡± Sister Chan was stunned. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the girl who put on makeup for Ren Guangxi. She used to put on makeup for me too.¡± ¡°Suisui?¡± Sister Chan reacted. ¡°I have her cell phone number. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Give it to me.¡± Lu Qinshang asked for it without another word. As Sister Chan took out her cell phone to look for Suisui¡¯s number, she looked at him disdainfully. ¡°Why are you asking for Suisui¡¯s cell phone?¡± ¡°I have business with her. Don¡¯t worry about it!¡± Lu Qinshang said proudly. ¡°I¡¯m warning you. Although you¡¯re the boss of thepany now, you have many endorsements on you. Some of them clearly state that you¡¯re not allowed to fall in love!¡± Sister Chan handed the phone to him. As a manager, she couldn¡¯t forget to remind him not to get involved in scandals! Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Just take care of Ren Guangxi. I know what to do.¡± He took out his phone and recorded Yan Sui¡¯s cell phone number. Sister Chan: ¡°By the way, Director Zheng wants to ask you to film a movie recently. I saw that the script is not bad. I¡¯ll send it to youter to take a look. If it¡¯s fine, we¡¯ll take it. This is also a good opportunity for you to switch from the small screens to the big screens.¡± Lu Qinshang listened absentmindedly. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll go back and take a look.¡± When Sister Chan saw his unmotivated appearance, she wished she could smack his head. He did not have the self-awareness of a celebrity just because his family was rich. No, she still had to bring two more artists along. She could not count on this pig. Lu Qinshang called Suisui, but no one picked up. He then added her on WeChat¡­ Very good, it did not pass the verification! Lu Qinshang threw his phone on the desk angrily. ¡°What is the meaning of this? You don¡¯t recognize me after having fun?¡± After a moment, he wondered worriedly, ¡°Could she be very badly hurt?¡± However, he did not know where she lived. He did not know where to look for her. Lin Qingqian did not mind at all that Jiang Yunshen was moving into Begonia Courtyard for a few days. She knew that Jiang Yanshen was worried that Jiang Yunshen would live alone in the Jiang Residence or go to Jiang Chongjing¡¯s house. If he often thought of the past, he might be depressed. After moving into Begonia Courtyard, at least there would still be people whom he could talk to after work every day. He would forget those unhappy things faster. Seeing that she didn¡¯t mind, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curved. ¡°Thank you, Madam Jiang. ¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and only smiled without saying anything. Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. ¡®Why do I feel that you asked me to move over to eat dog food?¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his coffee cup and said calmly, ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore. You can consider starting a family.¡± ¡°I¡¯m only 23 years old. Besides, aren¡¯t you still single at the age of 23?¡± Jiang Yunshen retorted indignantly. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Someone chased after me when I was 23 years old. Do you have Lin Qingqian: Can you not use me as an example to educate your brother? Jiang Yunshen: ¡°I have someone chasing me. Sister-inw saw itst time. I¡¯m a handsome man in Lan City after all!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Then have you married her?¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Damn it! The husband and wife teamed up to bully me! ¡°I¡¯m not eating anymore. I¡¯m going to work!¡± Jiang Yunshen threw his cutlery and stood up to leave. Jiang Yanshen did not mind his temper and continued drinking his coffee. Lin Qingqian turned to look at him. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to say that I chased after you in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡®Why?¡± ¡°At that time, I wasughed at by them for a long time. Everyone said that I overestimated myself.¡± Recalling that memory was simply a dark history. ¡°Whoughed at you? I¡¯ll deal with them.¡± Clearly, he did not know about these things, and he did not think that this was a stain on her reputation. At that time, she was like a sheep that had identally entered the forest. She was not afraid even when she encountered lions. Her courage wasmendable. ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s all in the past.¡± Today was the day of Chairman Liang¡¯s burial. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen were both dressed in ck to send Chairman Liang off for thest time. Madam Liang had visibly lost weight, but her expression didn¡¯t show much. She could even smile when she talked to others. Lin Qingqian knew that she was pretending to be strong. How could she not be sad when her husband, who had apanied her for decades, left? How could she be fine? She just didn¡¯t want her family to worry. After Chairman Liang was buried, Madam Liang was about to set off for Yu Mountain. Originally, President Liang and his wife were against it. After all, she was old and they were worried about letting her go so far alone. Later on, it was only when Liang Lan volunteered to apany her that President Liang reluctantly nodded in agreement. Before Madam Liang got into the car, she looked at Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hands, her ancient eyes revealing a hint of relief. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly as she nodded slightly to reassure her. On the way back to thepany, Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw a long line on the horizon outside the car window, like a small tail left behind by a ne. Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her head. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked at him. ¡°I¡¯m thinking if I can be as strong as Madam Liang in a few decades.¡± Jiang Yanshen wrapped his long arm around her shoulder and said in a low and seductive voice, ¡°We still have many years. We¡¯ll think about these things in the future. ¡± Lin Qingqian smiled and leaned into his arms obediently. ¡°Alright.¡± The car stopped by the road in front of thepany. Lin Qingqian bade him farewell. As soon as she got out of the car, a group of reporters suddenly appeared out of nowhere and surrounded her. As they kept taking photos of her, someone raised the microphone and asked, ¡°Are the rumors online true, President Lin?¡± ¡°President Lin, you¡¯ve always created an image of a strong woman for everyone, but don¡¯t you think you¡¯re lying to the public?¡± ¡°President Lin, do you hate those people?¡± Lin Qingqian looked confused, but when she heard those words, her face gradually lost color, and her fingers slowly clenched into fists. Seeing this, Jiang Yanshen got out of the car without hesitation. He wrapped his long arm around Lin Qingqian¡¯s shoulder and led her into thepany in a protective manner. Chen Mu and the chauffeur also came out to stop the reporters chasing after them. The reporters followed relentlessly. Someone even asked Jiang Yanshen fearlessly, ¡°Director Jiang, do you know about President Lin?¡± ¡°I heard that President Lin moved into the Jiang family at the age of 18. Then why are you indifferent to her matter?¡± Jiang Yanshen escorted Lin Qingqian into thepany. After hearing the reporter¡¯s words, his eyebrows suddenly tightened. He turned around, his ck eyes as sharp as knives, and his thin lips squeezed out two cold words. ¡°Get lost.¡± Han Liubai, Su Ying, and the others also came out when they heard the news and helped stop the reporters from breaking into thepany. Jiang Yanshen helped Lin Qingqian sit on the sofa in the office. His warm palm held her cold hand tightly and heforted her in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curly and thick eyshes trembled. She looked at him slowly and shook her head with minimal movements. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She reached out to take the cell phone. Jiang Yanshen realized what she wanted to do and held her hand with a firm gaze. Don¡¯t look! Lin Qingqian pulled her hand out of his palm and secretly took a deep breath. ¡°I¡¯m fine. How will I know how to deal with it if I don¡¯t look?¡± ¡°Leave it to me,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice. ¡°This matter is directed at me. If you make a move, you¡¯ll only let others use this matter to say that I¡¯m establishing the image of an independent woman. In the end, it¡¯ll be even worse.¡± Although Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was in a daze before she came in, she had already calmed down and quickly understood the implications. Now, it had be a topic of social attention, and she was the victim. No matter what, she should not be the target of theizens. However, if she did not handle it well, she would easily be criticized. Although there was no actual harm, it was true that it would cause her trouble. Jiang Yan looked at her with his deep eyes. His low voice seemed to be muttering to himself, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have agreed to the divorce back then, let alone let you work in a studio.¡± If she had always been Madam Jiang, she wouldn¡¯t have had to face so much deception and schemes behind his back. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were firm as she said softly, ¡°I don¡¯t regret divorcing you, nor do I regret setting up Shi Guang Studio. This is the life I chose. No matter how many difficulties I encounter, I won¡¯t retreat, let alone regret it.¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that as long as she wanted to do something, she would definitely do it. Perhaps this was also part of the reason why she attracted his attention back then. His warm palmnded on the back of her head. When she pressed her head down, he raised her head and kissed her forehead tenderly. ¡°I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to investigate. You deal with the rest yourself. If you can¡¯t resolve it, tell me.¡± His warm fingertips gently caressed her cheek, his eyes burning. ¡°Even if the sky falls, I¡¯ll help you hold it up.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°I understand. Go back to work.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand reluctantly and finally stood up to walk out of the office. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at his back view as he left, and the light in her eyes dimmed bit by bit. The video exposed on the Inte was not very clear, but one could vaguely see her facial features. At that time, she had just arrived in Lan City. When she went to the toilet, she was blocked by a few girls. They took photos of her with their phones. As they took photos, they sneered at the shabby clothes she was wearing. She did not have any branded clothes on her and they sshed paint on her. Yu Mountain was a simple ce. Although there were not many students in the school there, everyone was very harmonious. Such a thing had never happened before. She was sad, angry, and wanted to resist, but she was afraid of causing trouble for Grandma Jiang, so she had always endured and never resisted. Seeing that she couldn¡¯t resist, those people became even worse, especially after her results and design drafts were exposed. She suffered more and more bullying. Because before she came, the top student was Ming Xiao. She came from a remote vige and stole the limelight from the daughter of the Ming Corporation. Naturally, her life would not be easy. Although that memory did not leave a shadow in her heart, it was definitely not a memory she wanted to recall. Now that she was exposed in the eyes of the public, be it the scoffing or sympathies, it was like a knife cutting down. The only difference was the extent of the wound¡¯s deepness. Han Liubai walked in with a cup of hot cocoa and handed it to her. ¡°Stop looking..¡± Chapter 301 - 301: The Human World Shouldn’t Make Me So Happy, But You I re Here Chapter 301: The Human World Shouldn¡¯t Make Me So Happy, But You I re Here Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He stuffed the cup into her hand and took her phone away. Lin Qingqian held the cup with both hands and looked up at him before quickly lowering her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re very brave. You did very well.¡± Han Liubai said seriously. Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m not as good as you think.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say that.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gentle eyes stared at her, as if he had the best scenery in the world in his heart. ¡°You¡¯re brave and kind. You saved me and helped Su Ying. We¡¯re all gathered together because of you.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± She lowered her eyes and touched the cup with her fingertips. ¡°What if I say that I once turned a blind eye to the lives of others?¡± Han Liubai was stunned. Lin Qingqian nced at him and her lips curved. She said self-deprecatingly, ¡°The human heart is selfish. As long as the knife isn¡¯t pointed at us, no one will resist. ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of me, and don¡¯t pity me. I¡¯m not worth it.¡± She put down her cup, got up, and walked to the swivel chair in front of her desk to sit down. ¡°Please call Su Ying in for a moment.¡± Han Liubai turned around and looked at her. After a moment, he stood up and nodded. Su Ying came in very quickly. ¡°Sister Qingqian, what do you need me to do?¡± ¡°Help me make an appointment with KK. Tell them that I¡¯ve agreed to their interview.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm andposed tone was as if the person with the dispirited aura just now was not her at all. ¡°Also, refuse all the other interview requests. Don¡¯t reveal a word.¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll make the arrangements now.¡± As soon as she went out, Lu Yuan¡¯s call came in. He had already found out that the video was given to the press by Li Ruzhu. Lin Qingqian was not surprised to hear this news at all. Instead of saying that it¡¯s Li Ruzhu, it was more urate to say that it¡¯s Ming Xiao. ¡°Please help me clear up those videos.¡± Lu Yuan said respectfully, ¡°I¡¯m already dealing with it. I¡¯ll be able to clear all the videos in about 15 minutes.¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± ¡°You¡¯re too polite. What else do you need?¡± Lu Yuan asked. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said softly, ¡°I want you to help me find someone.¡± Although the videos had been deleted, this matter was not over. There was a lot of discussion on the Inte. On one hand, the haters were mocking Lin Qingqian for having her image destroyed, and on the other hand, her fans¡¯ hearts ached for Lin Qingqian for being bullied. Lin Qingqian used her ount to send a message. Shenqian: ¡°In the face of bullying, if one doesn¡¯t die, one remains unyielding.¡± As soon as this Weibo post was posted, it immediately became a trending topic. Many celebrities also reposted it to support her and called for a boycott of bullies. In the evening, there were even official media who disyed their views on this issue. The People¡¯s Daily reported that they wanted to stamp out school bullying. There were even many people from Lin Qingqian¡¯s school who posted on Weibo about how disgusting their school was back then. The school did not care about the bullying incidents at all. There were even people who hinted that the person who bullied Lin Qingqian in school back then was the daughter of a certain corporation and had donated two buildings to the school, so the school did not dare to interfere at all. There were posts saying that Lin Qingqian was bullied very badly back then. Fortunately, she resistedter on and did not suffer much more bullying. The others were not so lucky. They even brought up the matter of people¡¯s suicide from depression back then. When Ming Xiao saw that the situation had developed beyond her expectations, she was so angry that she smashed her cell phone. Initially, she only wanted to cause trouble for Lin Qingqian and disgust her. She did not expect¡­ Her beautiful red nails dug into her palms, and her eyes were dark. The assistant knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Editor-in-chief Ming, it¡¯s a call from your father.¡± Ming Xiao saw the cell phone in her hand and reached out to take it. The assistant was very observant and left. Only then did Ming Xiao say, ¡°Father¡­¡± This matter had yet to implicate the Ming Corporation for the time being, but now that the Inte was in a buzz, theizens could easily be led astray. Once the Ming Corporation was involved, it was very difficult not to be affected. Ming Yuan naturally had to call her to reprimand her. Ming Xiao was indignant, but she could not refute Ming Yuan¡¯s words. She could only admit her mistake obediently and think of a way to calm the matter down before it blew up. The posts and topics were all blocked. Some of the posts that were making insinuations about Ming Xiao were directly banned. She originally wanted to disgust Lin Qingqian, but now, she had to deal with the consequences herself. The more Ming Xiao thought about it, the angrier she became. This debt must be repaid by Lin Qingqian in the future!! Lin Qingqian epted the interview with KK. Because she was wearing a ck outfit, it made her face look pale, creating a thin and weak aura that aroused people¡¯s desire to protect her. The interview script was listed in advance and Lin Qingqian read it once. Other than the work-love part, there were a few questions about school bullying. Initially, KK was worried that she would refuse to answer and skip it. They did not expect Lin Qingqian to have no objections after reading it. The entire interview went very smoothly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s answer was even more straightforward than KK had expected, without any evasion. When she left Fashion Trends, she didn¡¯t know how the reporters received the news and rushed over to interview her. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and walked towards the car parked by the roadside under the escort of Chen Mu and the security officers. The reporters followed her relentlessly and kept asking sharp questions, as if they wouldn¡¯t stop until she broke down. Just as she was about to reach the car door, she heard a reporter ask, ¡°President Lin, the outside world thinks that you¡¯re a role model for women in the new century, but you¡¯ve experienced such an unbearable past. Don¡¯t you want to apologize to your fans? Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at the female reporter who asked the question. Her clear eyes were as cold as a de. Her pursed lips rxed, and her tone was low and cold. ¡°I don¡¯t need to apologize to anyone. The ones who should apologize are those who hurt me.¡± With that, her gazended on the work pass hanging in front of her. Her red lips curved into a mocking smile. ¡°Zhengfeng Entertainment? The fact that you can ask such a question makes me feel deep sympathy for yourpany¡¯s cultural concepts. You don¡¯t even have the most basic values. How twisted is thispany?¡± The female reporter¡¯s face turned green and white at her sarcasm. When the others saw this, they immediately asked, ¡°President Lin, can you tell me why you were bullied?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were cold as she nced at him indifferently and said unhurriedly, ¡°Your question is like you¡¯re interviewing the victim and asking why she was killed. Why was the victim sexually assaulted? Why wasn¡¯t someone else killed and sexually assaulted?¡± The reporter ¡°¡­¡± Damn it! He had been deceived by her face again. He had forgotten that she was not a weak flower at all, but a mini steel cannon. She scolded everyone she saw. Without waiting for the other reporters to ask any more questions, Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and her cold voice sounded calmly. ¡°I hope all the media here will remember one thing. The pen in your hands should be used for the sake of truth and justice, not for the sake ofcency and poprity. Why was I bullied? You should ask the people who bullied me. Please don¡¯t pin the me on me. It¡¯s not my fault that I was bullied, nor is it my shame. It can¡¯t be a reason for you to attack me.¡± ¡°Then¡­ May I ask who those people who bullied you back then were? Are they the eldest daughter of a certain corporation as the rumors online say?¡± Lin Qingqian said coldly, ¡°Isn¡¯t this something that you reporters should investigate? I have no obligation to tear open my own scars to satisfy your prying desires.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted. ¡°One day, if you dare to say the name of that corporation, I¡¯ll dare to tell you the name of the bully.¡± Her bright eyes looked straight at the other party, as if to say, ¡°Do you dare?¡± The reporter: ¡°¡­¡± Dare my ass! Am I not afraid of receiving awyer¡¯s letter!! A trace of mockery shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips. Just as she was about to get into the car, she heard a scream from the crowd. ¡°Heavens! Look¡­¡± Everyone looked around at the same time. In the end, their gazesnded on the LED disy of the mall not far away. There was only one sentence on the disy screen: Qianqian, you fell into the gxy of the human world and illuminated my entire life. When Lin Qingqian saw this sentence, she was stunned. Qianqian? Was it a coincidence? Before she could react, she heard someone say, ¡°Look, there¡¯s one over there too¡­¡± Everyone looked at the other building. The entire building flickered with a sentence. ¡°The human world should not make me so happy, but Qianqian, you¡¯re here.¡± If one LED disy was a coincidence with the same name, the second and third ones would definitely not be a coincidence. On this evening, on the LED screens of the entire Lan City, all the buildings lit up with a sentence. Every sentence was different. The only simrity was that they were written for a girl called Qianqian. ¡®Qianqian, you are my redemption.¡¯ ¡®Qianqian, you¡¯re the surprise I¡¯ve been looking forward to.¡¯ ¡®Qianqian, my wish is very small. There are only four words: You belong to me.¡¯ ¡®Qianqian, the scars from the past are all your medals now.¡¯ ¡®Qianqian.. This evening was destined to not be peaceful. No matter which corner of the city it was, people stopped in their tracks and took out their phones to record the romantic moment. From the firstizen to the secondizen to countlessizens who took photos and posted them online, #Qianqian# became the top trending topic again. It was also on this night that Lin Qingqian finally understood what it meant by: Even if the entire world speaks ill of you, I will still say sweet nothings to you forever. In a ck Maybach, Jiang Yanshen alighted and walked in front of her in front of everyone. His handsome facial features were gentle, and his warm palm reached out to her¡ª ¡°We¡¯re going home.¡± The frost in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes had long been melted by those words of love. At this moment, it was filled with smiles and warmth. Her clean little hand was ced in his palm. ¡°Alright.¡± When the reporters present saw this scene, they took photos of them crazily. Some of them wanted to go forward to interview them, but before they could get close, they were stopped by the bodyguards Jiang Yanshen had brought. The two of them got into the car. The chauffeur started the engine and slowly drove off. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window. The smile on her lips deepened every time she saw a sentence. Jiang Yanshen leaned over and whispered in her ear, ¡°Did I make you happy this time?¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at him. ¡°Did Song Qin teach you again?¡± ¡°No.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand tightly and touched it to his lips. ¡°Every word is what I want to say to you.¡± The smile in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes deepened. She suddenly asked a question that was as different as night and day, to be as different as chalk and cheese. ¡°There are so many big screens. How much did you spend on the ads?¡± She frowned.. Her heart ached for the money! o Chapter 302 - 302: How Old Are You, Mr. Jiang? Chapter 302: How Old Are You, Mr. Jiang? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Begonia Courtyard. Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen out of the car and saw that Lu Qinshang and Jiang Yunshen were both there. Even Gu Xici, who had been busy with a major case recently, was there. Perhaps because he was under a lot of pressure from investigating the case, Gu Xici held a cigarette in his hand and immediately stubbed it out like a gentleman when he saw her enter. ¡°Why are you all here?¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°How can we note when something so big happens?¡± Jiang Yunshen sized her up from head to toe. ¡°Are you stupid? Don¡¯t you know how to speak up when someone bullies you? I would¡¯ve gone over and killed them!¡± Lin Qingqian was originally a little touched, but after hearing his words, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Are you sure you would help me back then and not hit me when I was down? ¡°Am I that kind of person?¡± Jiang Yunshen raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, ¡°How can a girl from our Jiang family be bullied by those little b*tches?¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s all in the past. I¡¯m fine. Sorry to trouble you with making a special trip.¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, let¡¯s have dinner here tonight.¡± Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici looked at each other and said in unison, ¡°No need.¡± Tonight, the big LED screens in the city were all dog food. They had already eaten enough on the way here and did not want to eat any more dog food. Lin Qingqian: Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t ask them to stay. When they spoke, his eyes were fixed on Lin Qingqian, as if she would disappear if he didn¡¯t look at her for a second. This sticky feeling made their teeth hurt. Jiang Yunshen followed them. ¡°I¡¯ll go out to eat with Lu Qinshang and the others. You don¡¯t have to worry about me¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s indifferent words sent him straight to hell. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes were about to pop out. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°The position of Eldest Sister-inw is like a mother. Do you listen to your Eldest Sister-inw¡¯s words?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes under her curled eyshes were bright. ¡°Eldest my¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he felt a cold gaze shoot over from the side. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said coldly, ¡°Huh?¡± His exquisite facial features were covered in frost, and he looked dignified. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Xici patted Jiang Yunshen¡¯s shoulder and gave him a look before leaving. Lu Qinshang took two steps and thought of something. He turned around and said, ¡°Sister-inw,e over. I want to talk to you alone.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes shed with confusion as she walked forward and asked, ¡°What is it?¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s eyes darted between Jiang Yanshen and Jiang Yunshen. He lowered his voice so that only the two of them could hear. ¡°That Suisui from yourpany hasn¡¯t been to work recently?¡± ¡°She¡¯s on leave,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. She paused and asked, ¡°Why are you looking for her?¡± Lu Qinshang immediately shook his head. ¡°No, it¡¯s just that she has always been in charge of Ren Guangxi¡¯s makeup and hair. It¡¯s not appropriate for her to suddenly be changed.¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a few seconds. ¡°I¡¯ll tell herter. It won¡¯t affect Ren Guangxi.¡± Lu Qinshang was afraid that she would notice something, so he did not dare to ask further and nodded before leaving. He couldn¡¯t help butin in his heart. Was that little girl deliberately avoiding him? She didn¡¯t answer his calls or add him on WeChat. Even if he went to thepany, he wouldn¡¯t be able to find her. If it were any other woman, they would definitely cry and ask him to take responsibility. How could she just pull up her pants and run away? For the first time in his life, Lu Qinshang felt a strong sense of defeat! As Lin Qingqian watched Lu Qinshang leave, something shed across her clear eyes. Jiang Yanshen hugged her shoulder. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and looked into his eyes. She said hesitantly, ¡°I just feel that there seems to be something between Lu Qinshang and Suisui?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°The two of them are already adults. You¡¯re worrying about the wrong person.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him and blinked. ¡°Other than work, you should focus your remaining energy on your husband,¡± Jiang Yanshen said seriously. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°You¡¯re even jealous about these kinds of things. How old are you, Mr. Jiang?¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled. ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­I¡® Why did I agree to move to Begonia Courtyard? Is it toote to go to Ennd now? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hardcore confession of love was so romantic that the entire Weibo emitted a strong sour smell. Many girlspared Jiang Yanshen to their pig-like partners and shed bitter tears. There were also nosy people who asked Lu Qinshang on his Weibo how he felt about Director Jiang¡¯s high-profile confession of love. Lu Qinshang replied: ¡°The autumn wind is blowing, and the north wind is cold. I¡¯m eating dog food next door.¡± The most impressive thing was that Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo was as lively as the new year. Other than expressing jealousy and hatred, there were also many people who questioned her. Why didn¡¯t she say anything about the bullying back then? And why didn¡¯t Jiang Yanshen help her back then? Lin Qingqian replied in thements: ¡°My self-esteem was more important than my life in my youth. He doesn¡¯t know that. Moreover, it¡¯s better to teach people how to fish than to give them a fish.¡± The concise exnation of what happened back then also helped Jiang Yanshen rify. Manyizens had be fans of her. These two were really an immortal couple. Li Ruzhu saw thements online at Li Gun¡¯s vi and was so angry that she smashed her cup. Although Li Gun felt ufortable, she did not re up. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Ming Xiao is very capable? Why hasn¡¯t she done anything to Lin Qingqian?¡± Li Ruzhu suppressed the anger in her heart and gritted her teeth. ¡°Ming Xiao is the eldest daughter of the Ming Corporation. Of course, she has to deal with Lin Qingqian step by step.¡± ¡°Then¡­ if she really manages to deal with Lin Qingqian, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to fight against her with her status!¡± Li Gun said worriedly. She didn¡¯t want to see Ming Xiao with Jiang Yanshen either. A rich youngdy who had been pampered since she was young would probably not take her, the mother-inw, seriously. ¡°As long as it¡¯s not Lin Qingqian!¡± Li Ruzhu said angrily. ¡°If we can help Ming Xiao get together with Big Brother Yanshen, the Ming Corporation will support my father¡¯spany. At that time, what do we have to be afraid of?¡± Previously, Li Dashun had been embarrassed by Li Ruzhu¡¯s imprisonment and had been cold to her for a long time. Because Li Ruzhu had hooked up with Ming Xiao, Li Dashun had earned a lot of money from a few small projects thrown his way by the Ming Corporation. Now, he naturally had to support Li Ruzhu. Li Gun thought for a moment. ¡°In that case, bring me to meet this Ming Xiao next time. If we can build a good rtionship with her, you won¡¯t have to worry about not being able to find a man with good conditions.¡± Li Ruzhu looked at her for a few seconds before nodding. ¡°Alright.¡± Although the school bullying incident did not reach the Ming Corporation, it attracted the attention of the country¡¯s higher-ups. It was not a bad thing. However, the interest generated online was forgotten quickly. In a few days, theizens¡¯ attention was attracted by other things. There were many film festivals and award ceremonies in the second half of the year. All the styling teams were very busy. Suisui rested for a week before she was called back by Lin Qingqian. Ren Guangxi was invited to participate in an award ceremony performance. Suisui had to help him put on makeup. Suisui was like a thief. She called Sister Chan first and found out that Lu Qinshang would not attend this award ceremony. Then, she carried her makeup box into the lounge. Ren Guangxi saw her sneaky look and was puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Suisui smiled brightly. ¡°Aiya, long time no see. You¡¯ve be more handsome.¡± Ren Guangxi pursed his lips and did not say anything. Suisui quickly opened the makeup box and helped him put on his makeup. Half an hourter, Ren Guangxi¡¯s makeup was done. Sister Chan came to pick him up to meet a few seniors in the music industry. It would be helpful for his future development. Suisui packed her things and was about to leave when she turned around and saw the man leaning against the door with his arms crossed in front of her¡­ ¡°Bang!¡± The makeup kit fell to the ground. Lu Qinshang looked at her teasingly with his beautiful phoenix eyes. ¡°Hide. Continue hiding. If you have the ability, grow wings and fly away.¡± Suisui secretly gulped, a mechanical smile on her face. ¡°Big Brother, I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re saying!¡± She bent down to pick up the makeup kit. When she looked up, Lu Qinshang had already walked over. She subconsciously stepped back. Seeing her retreat, Lu Qinshang¡¯s face darkened and he took another step forward.. From the corner of her eye, Suisui saw a wall behind her. Afraid that she would be pinned against the wall likest time, she hurriedly ran to the side. Lu Qinshang quickly grabbed her slender wrist. Before he could speak, Suisui suddenly screamed. He did not know where she got the strength to break free from his restraint. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me¡­ Don¡¯te near me!¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. Suisui¡¯s face was red. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at him. ¡°I know my mistake. I shouldn¡¯t have coveted Big Brother¡¯s body. I¡¯m guilty¡­ I¡¯ve been facing the wall at home for a week and have already repented. I promise I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Lu Qinshang: Shouldn¡¯t he be the one apologizing? ¡°In the future, I definitely won¡¯t get within three steps of Big Brother or touch you. I won¡¯t mention anything about that night and won¡¯t let anyone know. From now on, I¡¯ll be a qualified mom fan!¡± With that, Suisui turned around and ran. Just as she was about to open the door and leave, she thought of something and turned around. ¡°Big Brother, no¡­ Goodbye, son.¡± With that, she ran out like a wisp of smoke, as if she was running for her life. Lu Qinshang: Didn¡¯t they have a saying, ¡°Imagining clouds as attire and flowers as appearance, I only want to sleep with Lu Qinshang¡±? How did she turn into being a full-fledged ¡°mom¡± after sleeping with him??? Didn¡¯t she have any thoughts of doing anything with him?? Lu Qinshang felt that his charm had suffered a critical blow. He found a photo from the cell phone album that he thought was the most handsome and posted on Weibo: Am I not handsome enough? The Maple Leaves leftments one after another: My child is so handsome. Mommy loves you! Brush wick! Lu Qinshang V: What child? Call me Hubby!! Maple Leaf: Child, you¡¯re crazy. It¡¯s not right to mess up the rtionship. Lu Qinshang: On the way back to thepany, Suisui saw Lu Qinshang¡¯s Weibo and sighed silently. Indeed, Big Brother was hinting at her to be a good mom fan and not have delusions! But when she thought of what happened that night¡­ her heart instantly ached¡­ Wuwuwu There was a socialite gathering in Lan City, and all the youngdies in Lan City would be invited to participate. In addition, they would invite some celebrities with good appearances or designers and stylists from the fashion industry. As the most popr designer in the past two years, Lin Qingqian was naturally invited. She originally did not want to participate, but she could not resist Vin and KK¡¯s kindness, so she changed into an apricot-colored gown and followed them.. Chapter 303 - 303: Daughter’s Temper Chapter 303: Daughter¡¯s Temper Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian only found outter that this private gathering was organized by Ming Xiao¡¯s aunt, who was also Ming Yuan¡¯s sister, Ming Yue. Ming Yue is 45 years old this year and is still unmarried. However, because she had taken good care of herself and looked like she was in her thirties, and because she was Ming Yuan¡¯s sister, there were many men who fell under her skirt. Ming Xiao was naturally also at the banquet held by Ming Yue. There were also two people Lin Qingqian did not expect¡ªLi Ruzhu and Li Gun. Ming Xiao was greeting Ming Yue with Li Ruzhu and Li Gun. When she saw her enter, their conversation immediately stopped. Ming Yue was a cold and arrogant person. When she saw Lin Qingqian sizing her up, disdain shed across her eyes. Vin and KK were familiar with Ming Yue and introduced her. ¡°Ming Yue, this is Shi Guang Studio¡¯s President, Lin Qingqian. AIR is her independent brand.¡± Ming Yue¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain as she said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t know much about domestic fashion. I only wear clothes designed by Lisa.¡± Lisa was a famous French designer and had a high position in the fashion industry. Her words were tantly belittling Lin Qingqian. Vin and KK¡¯s expressions changed slightly as they looked at Lin Qingqian apologetically. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was indifferent. Her red lips curled up slightly as she said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, ¡°Miss Minges from a noble background and only pays attention to international fashion trends. People like us have been born and lived on thisnd since we were young, so we naturally only pay attention to domestic fashion.¡± Her indifferent words directly raised the culture of the nation. If Ming Yue continued to belittle her, it would be equivalent to belittling the culture she came from. ¡°Designer Lin is so eloquent.¡± Ming Yue sneered. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Thank you for your praise.¡± Ming Yue¡¯s eyes darkened. She felt ufortable, but because of her status as a socialite, she could not make things difficult for her in public. Otherwise, if word got out, it would damage her image. From the corner of her eye, she saw Li Gun beside her and smiled. ¡°Madam Jiang, Designer Lin is your future daughter-inw. Aren¡¯t you going to discipline her for being so insensible?¡± Li Gun looked at Lin Qingqian with a sinister gaze and instantly understood what Ming Yue meant. There was an unwritten rule in upper-ss society that a daughter-inw had to be filial to her mother-inw, and no matter how her mother-inw disciplined her daughter-inw, it was only right. ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of Miss Ming. I¡¯ll teach this insensible girl a lesson on behalf of my son.¡± With that, she took a step forward and swung her hand at Lin Qingqian¡¯s face. ¡°Qingqian¡­¡± Vin and KK immediately turned pale. They did not expect them to humiliate Lin Qingqian in public like this. Seeing that Li Gun¡¯s hand was about tond on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face, she reached out and urately grabbed Li Gun¡¯s wrist, throwing a p back in return. She used a lot of strength in this p. Li Gun staggered two steps and fell to the ground. She covered her face and red at Lin Qingqian in disbelief. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you crazy? Ming Xiao and Ming Yue were also stunned, let alone the other richdies and socialites. Everyone had been taught since they were young to be gentle and virtuous, to be filial to their parents at home, and to listen to their inws¡¯ guidance when they got married. Lin Qingqian was the only person in the entire Lan City who dared to beat up her future mother-inw in public. Vin and KK were dumbfounded, but they inexplicably felt very good! ¡°I remember that on the day I left the Jiang family, I warned you not to provoke me. Otherwise, you¡¯ll have to bear the consequences.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were calm, her red lips curved, and her voice was clear and indifferent. ¡°Not to mention that you¡¯re no longer Madam Jiang. You don¡¯t have the right to discipline me.¡± ¡°How audacious!¡± Ming Yue scolded, her eyes filled with disdain. ¡°You¡¯re simply disrespectful. What¡¯s the difference between you and a countryside shrew?¡± ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m from the countryside.¡± Lin Qingqian admitted her background without hesitation. ¡°Miss Ming can choose not to look at it if you can¡¯t stand it anymore. However, the so-called number one socialite is nothing much as expected.¡± Ming Yue¡¯s eyes narrowed. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Li Ruzhu and Li Gun indifferently. ¡°The daughter of a nouveau riche, and a woman who was chased out of the Jiang Family can actually participate in the gathering of the number one socialite in Lan City. I think the socialite circle in Lan City has really fallen.¡± Ming Yue¡¯s expression changed when she heard the word nouveau riche. She looked at Ming Xiao suspiciously. These two people were brought over by Ming Xiao. Ming Xiao was still a little respectful to Ming Yue. Her gloomy eyes shot towards Lin Qingqian. ¡°Madam Jiang and Miss Li were invited by me. My aunt doesn¡¯t know. Andpared to them, the person who shouldn¡¯t be here is you, right?¡± ¡°Editor-in-chief Ming, it¡¯s clearly you¡­¡± Vin was about to exin for Lin Qingqian when Ming Xiao¡¯s cold and sharp eyes looked at her warningly. She was not afraid of Ming Xiao. She was afraid of the Ming Corporation behind Ming Xiao. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll leave now, but¡­¡± She paused and her gazended on Li Ruzhu, who was helping Li Gun stand up. She said with a faint smile, ¡°Since you¡¯ve invited her, you could at least have prepared some jewelry for her. That limited edition Tiffany bracelet is lying in my safe box.¡± For a moment, everyone¡¯s gazended on the bracelet on Li Ruzhu¡¯s wrist. Some sharp-eyed people immediately saw that the bracelet on her hand was an imitation after. And what their circle looked down on the most was wearing imitation. Li Ruzhu¡¯s face alternated between green and white. She was like a slut who had been stripped naked and thrown on the street to be casually despised. She was embarrassed and immediately ced her hand behind her back. When Ming Yue saw the fake bracelet on her wrist, her expression turned even colder. She said without thinking, ¡°Please leave my house immediately.¡± Li Ruzhu looked at Ming Xiao pleadingly. Ming Xiao frowned slightly and gestured for her to leave quickly. If they did not leave now, she would be implicated too. Seeing that she was silent, Li Ruzhu could only help Li Gun leave first. It would only be more embarrassing if they stayed here. ¡°Then I won¡¯t disturb everyone¡¯s elegance.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t stay here longer and turned to leave. Vin, KK, and Ming Yue hurriedly chased after Lin Qingqian. Vin said apologetically, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Ming Xiao exined that Miss Ming Yue admired your designs and wanted to get to know you, so I brought you here. I didn¡¯t expect her to humiliate you in public.¡± Thete autumn night breeze was a little bone-piercing. Lin Qingqian pulled her shawl around her body and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault. Even if I didn¡¯te today, they would still find an opportunity to humiliate me.¡± It was a fact that she came from a bad background. She had never thought of denying or hiding it, let alone care what those socialites and youngdies thought. ¡°But in that case, the socialites in Lan City probably won¡¯t ask for your custom designs in the future. Some female artistes in the industry will also avoid you!¡± KK said worriedly. The socialite circle and the entertainment industry were inextricably linked. Lin Qingqian had pped Ming Yue and Ming Xiao¡¯s faces in public today, so she naturally would be ostracized and targeted. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care about this at all. She said slowly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. My design isn¡¯t just for high -ranking officials and nobles. It¡¯s fine as long as the public likes it.¡± Vin and KK both revealed gratified expressions. Although they werepetitors, they had always been in a benignpetition. Everyone¡¯s goal was to make the domestic fashion industry better! ¡°If only all designers could think like you, ¡± Vinmented. Lin Qingqian curved her lower lip and did not say anything. Under the dim light, a white figure suddenly rushed over. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you b*tch¡­¡± Before her hand couldnd on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face, it was grabbed. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and her tone was a little cold. ¡°Li Ruzhu, haven¡¯t you caused enough trouble?¡± ¡°B*tch¡­¡± Li Ruzhu was clearly furious. Originally, she and Li Gun wanted to enter the socialite circle tonight, but because Lin Qingqian exposed the bracelet on her hand, she would never be able to enter the socialite circle in her life. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn¡¯t help bute to settle the score with Lin Qingqian, but she had forgotten a very important fact. Lin Qingqian was no longer the same Lin Qingqian from a year ago. Just as her other hand was about to pull Lin Qingqian¡¯s hair, Lin Qingqian grabbed her hand and nced at the fountain nearby. With two steps, he pulled Li Ruzhu to the side of the fountain. She grabbed Li Ruzhu¡¯s hair and pressed her head into the fountain. ¡°Ah!!¡± Li Ruzhu¡¯s head was soaked in cold water. The bone-piercing cold made her scream and struggle with all her might. But how could her little strengthpare to Lin Qingqian, who had been doing farm work since she was young? Lin Qingqian¡¯s simple and elegant facial features were expressionless. Her eyes were calm as she grabbed Li Ruzhu¡¯s head and pressed it into the water. She raised it every 30 seconds to let her take a few breaths before pressing it back down¡­ From the beginning to the end, she didn¡¯t say a word. For the second time tonight, Vin and KK were stunned by her. Who would have thought that the usually calm Lin Qingqian would have such a fiery side? At first, Li Ruzhu was still cursing at Lin Qingqian and calling her a b*tch. However, after a few times, she was paralyzed and did not even have the strength to struggle. ¡°What are you doing?¡± A cold voice suddenly sounded. Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw Ming Xiao walking over. She let go of Li Ruzhu¡¯s head. Her upper body was drenched. She sat on the ground and panted heavily. ¡°Senior Ming¡¯s dog is disobedient and likes to bark randomly. I was afraid of letting it disturb the esteemed guests, so I helped Senior Ming teach it a lesson.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s tone was indifferent. After saying that, she picked up the shawl that had fallen to the ground, but she did not put it on. Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows and eyes were calm as she said in a slow voice, ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble Senior to take care of your dog. If it hurts a passerby or identally get bitten back, the gains won¡¯t make up for the losses.¡± ¡°Lin Qingqian!¡± Ming Xiao couldn¡¯t help but raise her voice, unable to hide her anger. ¡°Ming Xiao.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes darkened slightly as she retorted, ¡°You¡¯d better control your emotions well. Who knows if there are any cameras nearby? If others see you like this, do you think anyone will believe your gentle and generous persona?¡± Ming Xiao held her breath and her anger was extinguished by her words. She subconsciously nced at Vin and KK, warning them not to speak nonsense when they went out. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Senior should still remember Qiaoqiao, right?¡± ¡­Qiaoqiao! Ming Xiao gritted his teeth. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her like a pool of clear water that was naturally harmless, but her aura was tough and difficult to underestimate. ¡°I heard that she hasn¡¯t been doing well recently, so I sent someone to bring her to the city to rx..¡± Chapter 304 - 304: Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm. “Three months! Three months is enough. Chapter 304: Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°Three months! Three months is enough. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Ming Xiao¡¯s gaze was cold as she sized up Lin Qingqian. It was undeniable that she was really different from before. She did everything wlessly and even found Qiaoqiao in advance. ¡°Lin Qingqian, I admit that I underestimated you in the past, but from today onwards, I won¡¯t underestimate you anymore.¡± In other words, she would treat Lin Qingqian as a true opponent. This also meant that Lin Qingqian¡¯s future days would not be veryfortable. Lin Qingqian¡¯s long hair was swept up by the wind, covering half of her face. She reached out to touch her long hair and looked at her with her clear eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve never dared to underestimate Senior.¡± Ming Xiao pursed her cherry-red lips tightly and did not say anything, but her eyes were filled with unfriendliness. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and nced at Vin and KK. She said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Ming Xiao watched quietly as their backs disappeared into the distance and sneered ambiguously. Li Ruzhu¡¯s face was pale and she was trembling from the cold. Her voice trembled as she said, ¡°Miss Ming¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Ming Xiao raised her hand and pped Li Ruzhu¡¯s face. Li Ruzhu had just stood up for less than a minute when she was pped to the ground again. She held her burning face and looked at her in disbelief. ¡°M-Miss Ming¡­ Why did you hit me?¡± Ming Xiao lowered her head and swept her disdainful gaze across her wrist. She said coldly, ¡°Do you know why you can¡¯tpare to Lin Qingqian?¡± Li Ruzhu held her cheek, her eyes dull. There were water droplets rolling under the corners of her eyes, and it was impossible to tell if they were tears or water droplets¡­ ¡°No matter how lowly Lin Qingqian is, at least she knows her limits!¡± Ming Xiao wiped her fingers with a handkerchief and said word by word, ¡°What kind of ce do you think this is? You can afford to lose face by wearing such tattered clothes and jewelry, but I can¡¯t!¡± The handkerchief was thrown on her face as she looked at her like she was an ant. ¡°Get lost. Don¡¯t appear in front of me again.¡± With that, she turned around and walked into the house. Li Ruzhu sat on the ground in a daze. She never expected that a mere imitation bracelet would result in her getting kicked away like a ball. When Lin Qingqian returned to Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen had just gotten off work. At the door, he saw her gentle eyes. When his gaze swept across her hand, his eyes tightened. ¡°What happened to your hand?¡± He grabbed her wrist and saw that there were a few scratches on her fair hand. Her skin was almost broken. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Qingqian said softly, ¡°I was identally scratched by a wild cat.¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her thoughtfully and couldn¡¯t help but brood angrily. Lin Qingqian sighed secretly. ¡°I was tricked to go to Ming Yue¡¯s gathering tonight and bumped into your mother and Li Ruzhu!¡± Seeing his gloomy eyes, she added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, they didn¡¯t get an advantage. Ming Yue and Ming Xiao¡¯s faces are also red with anger.¡± There was even a hint of smugness in her tone! After all,pared to those rich youngdies who put on airs, someone like her from the countryside could do anything in public. She didn¡¯t have an image or burden and could do whatever she wanted. As long as she was happy. Jiang Yanshen pulled her into the house and instructed the auntie to bring the medicine box over. Lin Qingqian was pressed down by him on the sofa and sat down. The auntie sent the medicine box over. He first disinfected her wounds gently with disinfectant cotton, then applied ointment, and finally put on a band-aid. ¡°It¡¯s really fine. There¡¯s no need¡ª¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and she immediately fell silent. ¡°You¡¯re a designer. Don¡¯t you know how precious these hands are?¡± His voice was tense, and his tone of reprimand was clearly angry. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart warmed, and a smile appeared on her red lips. It was like a spring breeze caressing her face and warming her heart. ¡°You¡¯re still smiling?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold, and he became even more displeased. ¡°You treasure my hands more than I do. Shouldn¡¯t I be happy? Jiang Yanshen was stunned. He reacted and reached out to pinch her cheek. ¡°Is Chen Mu just for show? Is there anything worth you taking action yourself?¡± ¡°Perhaps it feels better to do it myself.¡± Lin Qingqian hugged his arm and stopped while she was ahead. ¡°At most, I¡¯ll let Chen Mu deal with it next time. I definitely won¡¯t do it myself.¡± Jiang Yanshen hugged her shoulder and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. His voice was so gentle that it could drip water. ¡°Qianqian, I can¡¯t bear to see you injured, understand?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart trembled when she met his burning gaze. She nodded slowly and promised in a gentle voice, ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Only then did Jiang Yanshen¡¯s furrowed brows rx. ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?¡± Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. ¡°I want to eat grilled fish.¡± How could they have time to cook grilled fish at this time? Jiang Yanshen made a call and didn¡¯t care what the other party was doing. He said bluntly, ¡°Your sister-inw wants to eat grilled fish. Go to Fu Restaurant to buy it. Their grilled fish is not bad.¡± 20 minutester, Jiang Yunshen returned with the grilled fish and received a portion of fresh dog food. In thetter half of the night, Jiang Yunshen bumped into Jiang Yanshen, who was dressed neatly. He was a little surprised. ¡°Brother, where are you going sote?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going out to do something,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied. After taking a few steps, he thought of something and turned around. ¡°Be careful not to wake up your sister-inw.¡± His dark eyes stared straight at the slippers on his feet. Jiang Yunshen looked at his bare feet and then at his slippers. He couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes and silently take off his slippers and hold them in his hand. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and walked to the entrance to take out his shoes to change into before leaving. Jiang Yunshen took a deep breath and tried his best not to curse that bast*rd¡¯s ancestors! After all, they had the same ancestors. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t call the chauffeur. Instead, he drove to Shen Zhiwei¡¯s mental clinic. The heater was turned on in the room. Shen Zhiwei was wearing a single-colored shirt and a ck skirt. A professional smile appeared on her exquisite facial features, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes. She was a psychiatrist, not a 24-hour receptionist. Who could stand himing in the middle of the night?! Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and ced it on the back of the sofa. He sat on the recliner and went straight to the point. Shen Zhiwei¡¯sst bit of patience waspletely strained. She mmed the pen in her hand on the table, her smokey eyes filled with a cold light. ¡°Director Jiang, do you know what you¡¯re doing? Do you know the consequences of doing this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, and his brows did not move. ¡°Three months! Three months is enough.¡± ¡°Not to mention three months, without the drug, it¡¯s hard to say if you can evenst a month!¡± Shen Zhiwei stood up and walked to the chair beside her to sit down. Her expression was serious. ¡°Director Jiang, what exactly are you doing?¡± Jiang Yanshen ced his hands in front of him and clenched them so tightly that his knuckles turned white. The office was silent. One could hear a pin drop.. After an unknown period of time, his lowered eyshes slowly fluttered, and his low voice was filled with sadness¡ª Chapter 305 - 305: I Want to Give Her a Child Chapter 305: I Want to Give Her a Child Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I want to give her a child.¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned. She had never thought that this cold and emotionless man would one day say in such a humble and helpless tone that he wanted to give Lin Qingqian a child. Her heart seemed to be weighed down by something, and she felt so heavy that she could not breathe. She took a few deep breaths and tried her best to say in a calm voice, ¡°Director Jiang, you can adopt a child. You don¡¯t have to take this risk¡­¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s different.¡± His deep voice carried a hint of stubbornness. ¡°Qianqian likes children. I want to give her a child that belongs to the two of us.¡± He relied on drugs for the long term. If he wanted a child, he had to stop taking them. However, if he did that, his bipr disorder and personality dissociation would be uncontroble. He needed Shen Zhiwei¡¯s help! As a psychiatrist, Shen Zhiwei wanted to dissuade him, but when she met his steady gaze, she couldn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Even if I advised you to continue taking your medicine, you would still do this, wouldn¡¯t you Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips tightly and did not say anything. The certainty on his exquisite facial features exined everything. Shen Zhiwei asked herself if she still had a certain understanding of this man and finallypromised. ¡°I can only do my best. As for the oue¡­ I can¡¯t promise anything.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pursed thin lips moved and he said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s calm eyes were filled with surprise. This seemed to be the first time he had said to her¡ªthank you. It seemed like Lin Qingqian¡¯s influence on him was really huge. Although the matter of the socialite night was not exposed, everyone in the industry already knew that Lin Qingqian and the eldest daughter of the Ming Family, Ming Xiao, did not get along. Those female celebrities in the entertainment industry who liked to hang out with socialites naturally teased the other celebrities about their cooperation with Lin Qingqian. No matter how much they liked Lin Qingqian¡¯s designs, they did not dare to offend the eldest daughter of the Ming Family. After all, Ming Corporation was involved in the film and television industry. If they were banned, the gains would not make up for the losses. Lin Qingqian did not take it to heart. The entertainment industry was a ce of fame and fortune. It was the most heartless ce. Fortunately, they could only cancel some second- and third-rate celebrities. The A-listers had worked hard for many years and already had their own connections and resources. They wouldn¡¯t be afraid of Ming Corporation¡¯s financial resources. Moreover, there were also the artists under Lu Qinshang. With the support of Luo Tianxue and the others, the pressure on them was minimal. And Ming Xiao was probably afraid that Qiaoqiao was in her hands. During this period of time, she had been very quiet, so Lin Qingqian could work on her designs in peace. In the blink of an eye, Lan City had already entered a cold period. This year¡¯s National Drama Festival was held in Jiang City. Lu Qinshang, Luo Tianxue, and the others had to participate, so Lin Qingqian had no choice but to bring her team to apany them to Jiang City. When they arrived in Jiang City, it was already past eight in the evening. The group casually ordered some food and ate in their rooms. After eating, they washed up and went to bed. The next morning, they had to get up early to prepare for the styling. Originally, the fans were looking forward to the styling of the various idols this year, but when they opened their eyes¡­ What they saw was not the style publicity or the trending topics of stars winning an award, but¡ªLu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue went on ate-night date and their rtionship had been exposed!! Immediately, several trending topics were ced in the top five of the trending topics. The fans of the two stars were fighting fiercely. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a bloody storm. Brother Ming and Sister Chan were also arguing. They med each other for deliberately exposing the matter to the media to take the opportunity to hype their artiste up. The two people involved sat in front of the mirror and looked at each other disdainfully before turning their heads away in disdain. Lin Qingqian brought Suisui over and saw the smoke-filled scene. She said kindly, ¡°Are you done arguing? If not, we¡¯lle backter..¡± Chapter 306 - 306: Y-Y-You l re Pregnant? Chapter 306: Y-Y-You l re Pregnant? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang snorted softly. ¡°Who argued with her? A good man won¡¯t fight with a woman! ¡± Luo Tianxue turned her head and looked at him with her bright eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking smile. Lin Qingqian sighed secretly and said to Suisui and the other makeup artist, ¡°Do their makeup.¡± Without another word, Suisui rushed in front of Luo Tianxue. ¡°Tianxue, I¡¯ll help you put on makeup!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s face instantly darkened as he stared at the girl who rushed in front of Luo Tianxue with a dark gaze! Luo Tianxue looked suspicious. ¡°Aren¡¯t you his fan? Don¡¯t tell me you want to take the opportunity to take revenge on me?¡± Suisui held the makeup box and shook her head desperately, revealing an innocent and harmless smile. ¡°How is that possible? Definitely not!¡± Luo Tianxue was originally worried, but when she saw the dark-faced man beside her from the corner of her eye, her lips curled up. ¡°Alright!¡± Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to put down the makeup box, she saw the man sitting beside her stand up and step over. His hands were under her armpits, and he lifted her up and put her down as if he was lifting weights. ¡°You climbed the wall in front of me. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll break your legs!¡± Lu Qinshang warned with a dark expression. ¡°Put on my makeup now, immediately, immediately!¡± Suisui: ¡± Kid, it¡¯s not that Mommy doesn¡¯t want to do your makeup. But didn¡¯t I swear that I won¡¯t touch a single strand of your hair from now on?! The others: ¡® Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes lingered between the two of them. These two people clearly had something on. Otherwise, with Suisui¡¯s brainless passion towards Lu Qinshang, why would she run to Luo Tianxue instead of putting on makeup for him? ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡± The other youngdy looked confused, not knowing what to do. ¡°Go and put on makeup for Tianxue,¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly. With her words, the youngdy carried the makeup box and walked to Luo Tianxue¡¯s side. ¡°Miss Luo, I¡¯ll help you put on your makeup.¡± Luo Tianxue was very at ease with the person Lin Qingqian chose. She nodded gently and even said very politely, ¡°Thank you.¡± Sister Chan and Brother Ming were still arguing about how to rify things online. Lin Qingqian opened two bottles of water and handed them to the two of them. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. Just make a statement.¡± ¡°No way!¡± ¡°No way!¡± Sister Chan and Brother Ming said in unison and looked at each other. It was rare for them to reach a tacit understanding on how to deal with this matter. ¡°Why?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°A statement denying a rtionship now is more worthless than toilet paper.¡± Sister Chan sighed. ¡°Theizens won¡¯t believe it. Lu Qinshang also has a few endorsements that prohibits from having scandals.¡± Early in the morning, she received a call from her sponsors. They exined until their mouths were dry before the sponsors reluctantly believed her. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the same for Tianxue?!¡± Brother Ming red at the two troublemakers angrily. Why were they caught by the media? Luo Tianxue rolled her eyes. ¡°Please, we live in the same hotel, on the same floor, and we use the same styling team. We only had a meal together. Isn¡¯t that very normal!¡± Last night, when she was too hungry in the middle of the night, she went downstairs to look for food. Coincidentally, she bumped into Lu Qinshang, who had alsoe down for supper. Who knew that the media would secretly take photos of them and even spread rumors that they were in a rtionship? Rtionship my ass! Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and said softly, ¡°Then just tell the truth. My team will testify for them.¡± ¡°Will the public believe it?¡± Brother Ming asked worriedly. Lin Qingqian said calmly, ¡°What we can do is only to tell them the truth. As for whether they believe it or not, that¡¯s everyone¡¯s own judgment. It¡¯s not up to us to decide.¡± Usually, when they encountered such a situation, the managementpany would make a statement. It was not very effective and could only appease the fans slightly. However, it would always give people the illusion that they were really together. Sister Chan and Brother Ming looked at each other and asked for their respective artiste¡¯s phones to post on Weibo. Lu Qinshang: I was hungry in the middle of the night and went out to find something to eat. I ran into Tianxue, and we went to have a meal together. No romantic involvement! No romantic involvement! No romantic involvement! Just getting to know each other as good friends! Luo Tianxue: Thank you, Brother Lu, for paying the bill for mest night. I¡¯ll treat you to a mealter After Luo Tianxue and Lu Qinshang finished reading the Weibo posts their managers made on their behalf, they felt a faint urge to vomit. Lu Qinshang immediately added in thements section: ¡°Even if the world is ending, it¡¯s impossible for me to fall in love with her!¡± Luo Tianxue also added, ¡°Between him and my criteria for choosing a partner, there¡¯s a distance as wide as the entire Pacific Ocean.¡± Hence, the fans who were still puzzled immediately understood¡­ that these two people were definitely not in a rtionship. The first Weibo post seems to have the tone of a celebrity¡¯s voice, but there¡¯s still something different about it. Fans, being like Holmes,pared thements and immediately discerned that the Weibo post was written by the manager, while thements truly conveyed what they wanted to say. If they were really in love, how would they dare to say such a thing? Aren¡¯t they afraid of being pped in the face in the future! After tearing apart the fans of the two sides from the morning, they finally felt relieved. They each carried their idols away and enjoyed the happiness alone. Someone was also asking about this on Lin Qingqian¡¯s Weibo. She replied: ¡°Don¡¯t eat rotten melons. Be careful not to get a stomachache.¡± Now, everyone was even more determined to believe that the two of them weren¡¯t in a rtionship! Suisui focused and carefully put on makeup for Lu Qinshang. Every time her fingers identally touched his skin, she felt so guilty that she wanted tomit suicide. Child, can¡¯t you understand Mommy¡¯s feelings? From the corner of her eye, she nced at Luo Tianxue beside her and couldn¡¯t help but think, Actually, Luo Tianxue is quite good too. She¡¯s beautiful and her acting skills are fine. Why doesn¡¯t my child like her? However, when she thought of how she felt when she woke up in the morning and saw the trending topics, she felt sour and ufortable. Her emotions immediately became extremelyplicated. After thinking about it, she could only attribute this feeling to the disappointment of an old mother who finally realized that she¡¯d raised a pig. Lu Qinshang narrowed his eyes and nced at her little face from the corner of his eye. He frowned, smiled bitterly, and felt vaguely relieved¡­ What was this girl thinking? In order to dispel the doubts of the public, when they set off for the event location in the afternoon, Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue didn¡¯t avoid suspicion and set off together, entering their own huge vans one after another. Along with them were Lin Qingqian and another youngdy. Suisui found an excuse that her stomach was ufortable and didn¡¯t follow them to do the touch up for the makeup. On the red carpet, they were interviewed by the reporters. The two of them answered the reporters¡¯ questions generously and firmly denied their rtionship. Lin Qingqian watched the live broadcast backstage as she called Suisui. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Suisui was sitting on the sofa watching the live-stream on television. She had a cell phone in one hand and a drumstick in the other. She said weakly, ¡°I¡¯m mostly fine¡­ I only feel a little ufortable. I¡¯ll be fine after sleeping for a while. ¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back after this matter is over.¡± Lin Qingqian was worried about her staying in the hotel alone. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Qianqian, go about your business. I¡¯m going to sleep¡­¡± With that, she ended the call and took a big bite of the drumstick. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at the handsome man on the television screen and she said regretfully, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, child¡­ Mommy can¡¯t support you now.¡± The award ceremony tonight was very sessful and smooth. With the boost from the news of Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue¡¯s rtionship, the viewership ratings reached a new high. The two rified the scandals and also won the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress. Because most of the main creative team did note, there was no celebration party after the award ceremony. Instead, they waited until they returned to Lan City to celebrate. Lin Qingqian returned to the hotel before them to see how Suisui was doing. In the end, no one answered the door even after knocking for a long time. Thinking that she was asleep, she returned to her room first. Half an hourter. the elevator door onened. Then. Suisui sneaked a look first. After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, she ran back to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, a hand blocked it and stopped her. Suisui looked up and was stunned to see the handsome man. Perhaps she was too nervous, her arm slipped and the bag under her arm fell to the ground. Lu Qinshang lowered his head and took a look. Suisui reacted and quickly picked up the bag and hid it behind her. ¡°Child, w-what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you feeling unwell? Why did you run out?¡± Lu Qinshang felt that this girl was very strange. She must be hiding something. ¡°I, I went out to buy medicine.¡± Suisui stuttered nervously. ¡°What medicine is it? Show me.¡± Lu Qinshang stretched out his hand in front of her. Suisui shook her head desperately. ¡°No, there¡¯s no need! Go out quickly. If the media sees this, they¡¯ll write nonsense again¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang walked into her room and closed the door. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be afraid of that now.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± F*ck! No need to be afraid?! Lu Qinshang¡¯s gaze was still on the hand she had hidden behind her back. ¡°Give me what you¡¯re holding.¡± Suisui insisted on not giving it to him. ¡°If you continue to be disobedient, I¡¯ll expel you from my fan club!¡± Lu Qinshang threatened her. Suisui¡¯s chest tightened as she said bitterly, ¡°Go ahead.¡± Lu Qinshang was furious. What exactly made her not even afraid of being expelled?! He strode forward and grabbed her arm, his other hand snatching at the thing she had hidden behind her. Suisui¡¯s resistance was fruitless. She watched helplessly as he took the small bag away and roared in despair in her heart, Oh no!!! Lu Qinshang let go of her and looked down at the box in the transparent bag. He read the brand. ¡°Early Pregnancy.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­ ¡°What kind of medicine is Early Pregnancy?¡± He nced strangely at Suisui, whose face was filled with despair. He opened the bag and took out the box to take a look at the instructions. His phoenix eyes suddenly widened. The next second, he said, ¡°Y-y-you¡¯re pregnant?!¡± Suisui licked her dry lips. ¡°Not yet¡­ I guess?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± he asked, frowning. ¡°I-I haven¡¯t tested it yet!¡± Suisui replied in a dry voice. She was originally enjoying the fried chicken leg, but after taking a few bites, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit. She thought that she had caught a cold, but thinking about it, that was not right. Her period seemed to be two weekste. After thinking about it, she finally decided that it was better to die early and reincarnate early, so she went to buy a pregnancy kit. Who would know that she was so lucky? When she returned, she happened to be blocked by him. Lu Qinshang felt that his heart was about to stop beating, and his voice was trembling. ¡°Quick, go and take a test¡­¡± Suisui pointed at the thing in his hand. ¡°Show me the instructions.¡± Lu Qinshang was also dumbfounded. He handed the item to her in a daze and urged, ¡°Quick, hurry up¡­¡± Suisui walked into the washroom with the pregnancy kit under his urging gaze.. Chapter 307 - 307: Selling Him Out So Quickly To Please His Wife Chapter 307: Selling Him Out So Quickly To Please His Wife Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Five minutester. Lu Qinshang and Suisui squatted in front of the coffee table and stared at the long strip in front of them. ¡°Why isn¡¯t this thing reacting? Could it be broken?¡± Lu Qinshang said anxiously. Suisui said in confusion, ¡°No way. Didn¡¯t they say that we had to wait for ten minutes? It¡¯s not even time yet.¡± Lu Qinshang had never felt that time passed so slowly. It was too slow. He wished he could have a time elerator and immediately transmigrate to five minutester. Suisui also felt that time was very slow. Every second that passed was torture. She was filled with anticipation that the second red line would not appear! How was she going to face the vast Maple Leaves fanbase in the future after touching her child¡¯s body and getting pregnant with her child¡¯s child! Lu Qinshang nced at her slightly pale face from the corner of his eye. He stood up and picked her up and ced her on the sofa. ¡°Pregnant people should sit obediently.¡± Suisui: ¡± Wasn¡¯t this still not confirmed! Lu Qinshang squatted down again and stared at the long strip. Finally, after ten minutes, Suisui craned her neck and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that there was only one red line. She pressed her palms together and said gratefully, ¡°Thank God, thank you for the protection of thousands of Maple Leaves! I¡¯m not the eternal sinner of the Maple Leaf Tribe!¡± Lu Qinshang: Damn it! Was he so f*cking weak? ¡°This lousy thing is definitely not urate!¡± He picked up the pregnancy kit and was about to throw it away, but just as he picked it up, he said, ¡°Eh.. The second red line slowly appeared. ¡°F*ck! I knew it. How could I be so weak as to miss¡­¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s fists flew everywhere in excitement. He bent down and hugged Suisui. ¡°Yes! Yes! I¡¯m going to be a father!!!¡± Suisui was stunned. She snatched the long strip from his hand and saw two clear red lines. She was instantly disheartened. ¡°It¡¯s over¡­ I¡¯m finished¡­¡¯ Lu Qinshang was excited and curious. ¡°What¡¯s over? How is it over?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve let the Maple Leaf girls down. I¡¯ve tainted their child.¡± Lu Qinshang: Suisui looked at the early pregnancy kit and was about to cry. ¡°I got pregnant before marriage. If my mother finds out, she¡¯ll beat me to death. Why am I so unlucky to get pregnant¡­¡¯ Which wicked person said that it¡¯s impossible to get pregnant on the first try! Lu Qinshang held her face with both hands, his handsome facial features filled with the joy of a father. ¡°Little fool, what are you thinking? Why would I let your mother beat you to death!¡± Suisui¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. The panic of getting pregnant out of wedlock couldn¡¯t help but feel bitter even when facing her idol. ¡°That¡¯s easy for you to say. My mother is very fierce. If she finds out that I¡¯m single and pregnant, she¡¯ll definitely beat me to death. Moreover, I don¡¯t want to have a child out of wedlock. I¡¯ll beughed at by others for the rest of my life¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s simple. I¡¯ll marry you!¡± Lu Qinshang blurted out without thinking. Suisui was stunned. She looked at him with teary eyes, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. ¡°W-What did you say? Lu Qinshang was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and said without hesitation, ¡°I said that if I marry you, you won¡¯t be considered as having children out of wedlock. You don¡¯t have to worry about your mother beating you to death.¡± ¡°No!¡± Suisui shook her head like a rattle. ¡°You can¡¯t marry me. We can¡¯t get married!¡± ¡°Why?¡± Lu Qinshang was puzzled. ¡®You don¡¯t have a boyfriend. Could it be that you have someone you like?¡± At the thought of this, his expression darkened. He inexplicably felt like he had been poached. Suisui shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t have anyone I like.¡± ¡°Then why?¡± Suisui looked conflicted. ¡°I-I¡¯m a mommy fan. How can a mother want to marry her child¡­¡± Lu Qinshang: What kind of f*cking magical brain circuit was this! ¡°Listen carefully!¡± Lu Qinshang pinched her little face and said solemnly, ¡°Now that you¡¯ve dirtied my body and are pregnant with my child, you have to be responsible for me. Otherwise¡ª¡± His eyes were filled with killing intent. ¡°I¡¯ll announce your crime to the world and let all the Maple Leaves know that you vited their child and still wanted to be irresponsible. They¡¯ll spit on you and judge you!¡± Suisui hesitated for a moment and said uneasily, ¡°But¡­ if you married me, what if you meet a girl you like?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a girl I like now. Who knows about the future?¡± Lu Qinshang shrugged innocently. His gazended on her stomach that was still unrecognizable. ¡°Anyway, you don¡¯t have anyone you like now, and I don¡¯t have anyone I like. But in order to let our child be born legitimately, we have to get married!¡± Suisui looked down at her stomach and thought for a moment. ¡°Then¡­ if you meet someone you like in the future, we¡¯ll get a divorce? We¡¯ll raise the child together?¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s mind was filled with thoughts of getting married and letting his son be born openly, so he nodded in agreement. ¡°Alright! We¡¯ll do as you say!¡± Now that she didn¡¯t need to be beaten to death by her mother, Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. Lu Qinshang reached out to touch her stomach with a dazed expression. ¡°Son, I¡¯m your father¡­¡¯ ¡°Uh¡­¡± Suisui suddenly felt that her child was so silly. ¡°Um, he¡¯s just an embryo now. Strictly speaking, he can¡¯t even be considered a human yet.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± Lu Qinshang raised his head and red at her. ¡°Even if my son is an embryo, he¡¯s still the most noble embryo in the world!¡± Her child was the most handsome child in the world. Whatever her child said was right. ¡°What if it¡¯s a girl!¡± Suisui felt that her child favored boys over girls. Lu Qinshang was stunned and immediately became nervous. He even retracted his hand from her abdomen. ¡°Daughter, Daddy doesn¡¯t have any intention of despising you. Don¡¯t worry, when youe out, Daddy will build a castle for you and let you be the happiest little princess in the world.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± With that, Lu Qinshang thought of something and immediately took out his phone to send a message in the WeChat group. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: I¡¯m going to be a father! Five minutes after the message was sent, no one replied. He sent another message. Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: I¡¯m going to be a father! @Jiang Yanshen @Detective Gu @Second Young Master Jiang Detective Gu: How many bottles did you drink tonight? Jiang Yanshen: . Second Young Master Jiang: ¡°If there was a peanut, he wouldn¡¯t be so drunk.¡± Damn it! They actually did not believe him! Lu Qinshang immediately dialed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s phone and said in a boastful tone, ¡°I¡¯m really going to be a father!¡± ¡°Crazy.¡± Jiang Yanshen said and hung up. Lu Qinshang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He dialed Gu Xici¡¯s number indignantly. ¡°Why don¡¯t you believe my words? I¡¯m really going to be a father!¡± Gu Xici was reading the case report and said casually, ¡°Find the child¡¯s Mom first.¡± With that, he mmed the phone down. The veins on Lu Qinshang¡¯s forehead were about to pop out. You don¡¯t believe me, right? You have to force me to use my big move, right? He took a photo of the early pregnancy kit with his cell phone and sent it to the WeChat group. Second Young Master Jiang: F*ck! You¡¯re really going to be a father? Gu Xici: Which girl is so unlucky? Jiang Yanshen: . Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Pfft! She¡¯s clearly lucky, alright?! You all know her. She¡¯s the makeup artist of Sister-inw¡¯spany, Suisui. She¡¯s a very cute little girl. She¡¯s my super hardcore fan. Second Young Master Jiang: ¡°You actually dared to touch Sister-inw¡¯s friend? You¡¯re on your own.¡± Detective Gu: So¡­ you f*cked a fan?? Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Pfft! Don¡¯t make it sound so ugly, okay? It¡¯s just a moment of drunken passion. I can only me myself for being too powerful¡­ Second Young Master Jiang: Hehe. Detective Gu: ¡°If you have the ability, don¡¯te back. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll know what true power is.¡± Lan City¡¯s Most Handsome: Tsk! You¡¯re just jealous of me! Ah Yan, why aren¡¯t you saying anything? Just as Lu Qinshang sent the message, the doorbell suddenly rang. Suisui was about to open the door when Lu Qinshang quickly stood up and stopped her. ¡°I¡¯ll open it. You¡¯re a pregnant woman. Don¡¯t move around.¡± I¡¯m just opening the door. What has it got to do with moving around? Lu Qinshang waspletely immersed in the joy of being a father. The moment he opened the door, the smile on his face froze. ¡°S-Sister-inw¡­¡± There was no emotion on Lin Qingqian¡¯s delicate features. There was even a hint of coldness in her eyes. As if she did not see him, she walked into the room. When Suisui saw her, she looked flustered and said guiltily, ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± When Lin Qingqian saw the early pregnancy test kit on the coffee table, her eyes turned even colder and sharper. She turned around and red at Lu Qinshang. Suisui realized something and quickly got up. She ran to Lu Qinshang and protected him like an old hen protecting a chick. ¡°No, it¡¯s not his fault¡­ He was drunk that night. It was me¡­ I was blinded by lust and couldn¡¯t resist his beauty¡­ I¡¯m responsible¡­¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. She stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked at Lu Qinshang coldly, like a queen judging her servant. ¡°H-he said that he would marry me.¡± Suisui was afraid that she would not believe her, so she turned around and asked Lu Qinshang, ¡°Right?¡± Lu Qinshang nodded. ¡°Of course.¡± Suisui smiled awkwardly. ¡°Qianqian, you heard it. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°Lu Qinshang.¡± Lin Qingqian called out to him. ¡°Are you a man?¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. He looked at her and nodded vigorously. ¡°If you¡¯re a man, don¡¯t hide behind a woman. Let¡¯s talk alone.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was clear and firm. Lu Qinshang nced at Suisui and then at Lin Qingqian. He said very manly, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. ¡°Rest well. You¡¯re not allowed to follow me.¡± With that, she left the room. Lu Qinshang gave her a ¡°it¡¯s fine¡± look and turned to walk out with Lin Qingqian. In Lin Qingqian¡¯s room. She sat on the sofa and raised her chin when she saw Lu Qinshang enter, indicating for him to sit on the chair opposite her. Lu Qinshang frowned slightly, feeling like he was being interrogated by the police. Sitting on the chair and facing Lin Qingqian¡¯s judgment, he cursed Jiang Yanshen a hundred times in his heart. This bastard who valued women over friends sold him out so quickly to please his wife! Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender legs ovepped and she crossed her arms in front of her. Her eyes were cold, and her voice was several degrees colder than usual. ¡°Are you really going to marry Suisui?¡± Lu Qinshang nodded. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Then do you love her?¡± Her light and pleasant voice sounded coldly. It was only five words, but they were like a sharp de that stabbed into Lu Qinshang¡¯s chest, pinning him to the pir of judgment.. Chapter 308 - 308: Untitled Chapter 308: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Qinshang¡¯s mind went nk. He opened his mouth to speak, but he did not know what to say. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and said in a clear voice, ¡°You don¡¯t love her, but you want to marry her because of a child. Have you considered her feelings?¡± ¡°I, how am I not considering her?¡± Lu Qinshang pursed his lips, his voicecking confidence. ¡°Suisui is just a very ordinary girl. It¡¯s fine if you love her. No matter what happens, you¡¯ll naturally protect her.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was slightly deep as she said softly, ¡°But you¡¯re marrying her just because she¡¯s pregnant. What are you going to do with her? Will you treat her as a tool to carry on the family line?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not my intention!¡± Lu Qinshang retorted and said righteously, ¡°Since I¡¯ve decided to marry her, I¡¯ll naturally protect her in the future.¡± ¡°What if your family doesn¡¯t agree?¡± Lin Qingqian asked again, every word a gem. ¡°What if you meet your true love in the future? She worships you so much that even if it breaks her heart to pieces, she¡¯ll definitely fulfill your wish.¡± ¡°You can pursue your true love freely, and you can even marry any woman you want. But what about Suisui? Will she still meet a man who doesn¡¯t mind that she¡¯s a divorced woman who had a child? It was not that she looked down on Suisui, but this society was really that realistic and was even more harsh on women. Suisui was her best friend. She did not want Suisui to be like her back then, getting married in a daze and discovering¡­ Marriage waspletely different from what she had envisioned. Then, she slowly became disappointed and disheartened before finally choosing to let go. ¡°I¡­¡± Lu Qinshang opened his mouth, but he was dumbfounded and did not know how to refute her words. Lin Qingqian took a deep breath. ¡°I know you want to be responsible for Suisui, but there are many ways to be responsible. It¡¯s not just marriage. Even if you want to get married, I hope you can consider carefully about all the terrible things that might happen in the future.¡± Marriage was not child¡¯s y. She hoped that the two of them would consider it carefully. After all, Suisui was different from her. She was not sure if Suisui would be able to face it firmly and choose to start over if something happened in the future. Lu Qinshang lowered his head and ced his hands in front of him, stirring them non-stop. His high spirits just now were immediately dampened by this basin of cold water. ¡°Think about it carefully. I¡¯ll go and see her.¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, Suisui almost fell in. Lin Qingqian supported her in time and scolded, ¡°You don¡¯t know that you¡¯re pregnant? Why are you so careless!¡± Suisui stood properly and revealed a fawning smile. Her eyes kept sweeping in and she vaguely saw Lu Qinshang¡¯s side profile. She said softly, ¡°Um.. Qianqian, you didn¡¯t do anything to him, right?¡± ¡°What can I do to him?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her disdainfully. ¡°Go back to your room and rest.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian pushed her into the room next door and closed the door. Suisui turned her head and pouted. ¡°Qianqian!¡± Lin Qingqian pulled her to the sofa and sat down. Her eyes were serious as she said, ¡°Do you really want to marry Lu Qinshang?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Suisui looked hesitant, her eyes filled with confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t know either, but he said that I tainted his body and was pregnant with his child. I have to be responsible for him.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® What should she do? She really wanted to go next door and smash Lu Qinshang¡¯s head. How could he say such shameless words? ¡°Suisui, wake up.¡± Lin Qingqian said earnestly, ¡°Marriage is not child¡¯s y. Marriage is a matter of two different families.. It¡¯s a matter of life!¡± Chapter 309 - 309: If We Had a Child, You Wouldn I t Divorce Me Chapter 309: If We Had a Child, You Wouldn I t Divorce Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°I know, but¡­¡± Suisui hesitated and lowered her eyes. Lin Qingqian continued, ¡°But you want to marry him. You love him¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t!¡± Suisui looked up and shook her head desperately, as if falling in love with Lu Qinshang was a heinous thing. Lin Qingqian reached out and patted her little head. ¡°Admiration and love are originally closely linked. The more you get to know him over time, the more you like him. Like gradually transforms into deep love. It¡¯s just that he is a widely known celebrity, while you are just an ordinary girl. So, deep down, you¡¯re reluctant to admit it.¡± Suisui¡¯s thoughts were exposed by her. Her almond-shaped eyes were confused and clear. ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Qingqian did not answer and only said softly, ¡°I selfishly hope that you can find a man who loves you and whom you marry for love to live a nd and sweet life. But I respect your choices more.¡± Suisui was not strong-willed to begin with, so she hesitated even more when she heard her words. ¡°It¡¯s alright. No matter what happens, I¡¯ll be by your side.¡± Lin Qingqianforted her. Suisui reached out to hug her and said gratefully, ¡°Qianqian, you¡¯re so good¡­ Sigh, if only the two of us could get married.¡± Why would she need a man! Lin Qingqian patted her back gently and said with a faint smile, ¡°Just say this in front of me. Don¡¯t let Jiang Yanshen hear it.¡± If that jealous lover found out, this friendship would probably be lost. Lin Qingqian apanied her for a while. When she returned to her room, Lu Qinshang was no longer around. There was a note on the coffee table that said: Help me take care of her. I have something to do and have to return to Lan City first. Lin Qingqian threw the note into the trash can and sighed heavily. She selfishly did not want Suisui to get married so rashly, but it would be different if Suisui loved Lu Qinshang. Her cell phone rang. It was Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian picked up her phone and walked to the French window. As she looked at the scenery outside the window, she answered the call. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the radio. ¡°Have you negotiated with them?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the neon lights outside the window and suddenly asked, ¡°Do you think Lu Qinshang has fallen in love with Suisui?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied in a low voice. Usually, he wouldn¡¯t care about things that had nothing to do with him. Perhaps because it concerned Lu Qinshang, he added, ¡°Even if he doesn¡¯t love her, he won¡¯t hurt Suisui.¡± ¡°But Suisui loves Lu Qinshang. Once a person has love, they¡¯ll easily be greedy.¡± Jiang Yanshen was silent for a few seconds before saying in a low voice, ¡°Qianqian, they¡¯re different from us.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. ¡°How is it different?¡± ¡°If we had a child back then, you wouldn¡¯t have divorced me, and I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to the divorce.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice sounded slowly. Lin Qingqian blinked and fell into deep thought. ¡°Is that so?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°If Lu Qinshang hears your words, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll cut ties with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not important. Go to bed early.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gentle voice coaxed her. Lin Qingqian nodded. Perhaps it was because the moonlight outside the window was too charming, or perhaps it was because the mood was just right, she couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Ah Yan, I miss you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice was seductive. ¡°I miss you too.¡± The two cities separated the two people. What could not be separated was their concern and longing for each other. The next morning, Lin Qingqian took a taxi to Mian Xiu Vi to visit Old Madam Jiang who was recuperating. Old Madam Jiang had just finished her breakfast and was overjoyed to see her. ¡°Qianqian, why are you here?¡± Lin Qingqian handed her handbag and coat to the servant and walked to her side to sit down. ¡°I¡¯ve been working in Jiang City for the past two days. Right after I¡¯m done, I came over to see you.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s been hard on you to look after an old woman like me when you¡¯re so busy.¡± Old Madam Jiang lived alone in Mian Xiu Vi all year round. Although she had servants and medical staff to take care of her, she was still lonely. ¡°Madam Liu, aren¡¯t you cooking some pig trotter stew in the kitchen? Quickly serve a bowl to Qianqian for her to drink.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± Madam Liu personally went to the kitchen to get some soup. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Grandma, I¡¯ve already eaten breakfast. There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble.¡± ¡°Look, you¡¯ve lost weight. Yanshen didn¡¯t even take good care of you.¡± Old Madam Jiang frowned and said unhappily, ¡°I¡¯ll have to talk to himter.¡± ¡°Grandma¡­ Just as Lin Qingqian opened her mouth, she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voiceing from the door. ¡°What did you say about me?¡± She turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen walking in. She couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her eyes. She stood up and walked towards him to hug him, but because Grandma was around, she retracted her hand. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanshen handed his ck coat to the servant and didn¡¯t hug her as reservedly as she did. He turned his head and whispered in her ear, ¡°You miss me so much. How can I note?¡± Lin Qingqian pushed him shyly. ¡°Grandma is watching.¡± Old Madam Jiang turned her head and eximed, ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face secretly heated up. She pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious, like the most ordinary interaction between grandparents and grandchildren. Madam Liu brought out a bowl of soup. When she saw that Jiang Yanshen was also here, she hurriedly scooped another bowl. Perhaps because Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian hade over, Old Madam Jiang was especially energetic and did not feel tired in the morning. The weather today was not bad either. The two of them helped the olddy out to take a walk and bask in the sun. After apanying the olddy for lunch in the afternoon, the olddy needed to take an afternoon nap. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian were also returning to Lan City. Old Madam Jiang knew that they were all busy with work, so she did not ask them to stay. She only reminded them to be careful on the way back. Lin Qingqian originally wanted to go back in Luo Tianxue¡¯s car, but because Jiang Yanshen came over, she naturally took his car. Along the way, she leaned into Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arms, her heart filled with sweetness and joy. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair. He held her hand with one hand and read his documents with the other. On the way, Lin Qingqian fell asleep. In a daze, she heard her phone ring and did not want to care. Jiang Yanshen reached into her pocket and took out his phone. He said gently, ¡°Qianqian, wake up. It¡¯s a call from Suisui.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian opened her eyeszily, looking like she had not slept enough. ¡°It¡¯s a call from Suisui,¡± Jiang Yanshen repeated patiently. He answered the call and pressed the cell phone against her ear. A momentter, Lin Qingqian said, ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll go with youter.¡± Jiang Yanshen ended the call and put the cell phone back into her pocket. Lin Qingqian reached out and rubbed her cheeks. Her muddled mind gradually cleared up as she turned to look at him. ¡°Lu Qinshang¡¯s father wants to see Suisui. Do you think he wants to make things difficult for Suisun Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t care about other people¡¯s matters and said calmly, ¡°Not necessarily.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Suspicion appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Do you know something?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t answer and changed the topic. ¡°Are you apanying Suisui to see President Lu?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you there. I¡¯ll wait for you outside,¡± Jiang Yanshen said considerately. His well-defined fingersnded on the back of her neck and massaged it gently. In a private clubhouse. Lin Qingqian and Suisui were led to a private room by the Manager. The Manager opened the door of the private room and said respectfully, ¡°Madam, please.¡± Lin Qingqian and Suisui looked at each other. Suisui¡¯s eyes were clearly filled with panic and fear as she wanted to retreat, but in the end¡­ Lin Qingqian held her hand and walked into the private room confidently. The man who was originally sitting at the table immediately stood up. His gaze darted between the two young girls and finallynded on Suisui. ¡°You¡¯re Suisui, right?¡± Suisui nodded mechanically. ¡°Hello, Mr. Lu.¡± ¡°Please sit.¡± Lu Ting gestured for her to sit down. Lin Qingqian pulled Suisui to sit down again. Suisui lowered her eyes and secretly sized up her idol¡¯s father. Although he was already middle-aged, he did not look old at all. His hair was ck, and there were no wrinkles on his face. Lu Qinshang¡¯s facial features were very simr to his. One could imagine that Lu Ting was also a handsome man when he was young. ¡°You can¡¯t drink tea. I ordered milk for you.¡± Lu Ting pushed the milk that had just been heated to her. Suisui gulped nervously and squeezed out the words ¡°thank you¡±. Lu Ting¡¯s gazended on Lin Qingqian again. ¡°Mr. Lu, don¡¯t mind me. I¡¯m just here to apany Suisui,¡± Lin Qingqian said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice. Lu Ting nodded. In the next second, he took out a check and ced it on the table before pushing it towards Suisui. Suisui¡¯s breathing paused, and her fingers couldn¡¯t help but grab Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm¡­ It¡¯s here. it¡¯s here. He still brought a check to humiliate me in the end! Lin Qingqian sat still and did not speak. However, her arm hurt from the grip, and her eyes gestured for her to calm down. When Suisui saw the countless zeros on the check, her eyes widened. I¡¯m sorry, I really can¡¯t calm down! Seeing that she was silent, Lu Ting took out another card from his pocket and pushed it over. Suisui gasped¡­ There was more!! ! Although she liked Lu Qinshang very much¡­ in the face of such a huge temptation.. It was really difficult not to be tempted! Boohoo, my child, Mommy is going to let you down¡­ ¡°Miss Yan¡­¡¯ Lu Ting had just opened his mouth but before he could finish speaking, Suisui suddenly looked up and said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave him.¡± Lu Ting was stunned. Seeing that he was stunned, Suisui guessed that he had never met someone so straightforward and did not believe her words. She secretly pinched her thigh, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears of pain. ¡°Mr. Lu, I know that my background is ordinary and I¡¯m not worthy of Lu Qinshang. You won¡¯t let me enter the Lu Family.¡± Her intive voice was so sorrowful that it sounded like an erhu making a background music. As she spoke, she sniffed and cried sincerely. ¡°I¡¯ll take this money and disappear. I definitely won¡¯t let Lu Qinshang know what happened today. It won¡¯t affect your father-son rtionship.¡± Lu Ting¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly and he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Miss Yan, did you misunderstand something?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Suisui suddenly looked up at him, her almond-shaped eyes still misty. ¡°Didn¡¯t you give me this money to leave Lu Qinshang?¡± Wasn¡¯t this how television dramas acted? Could it be that she had epted the role wrongly? ¡°Or¡­ do I have to ask for more? Do I have to act more like a gold digger?¡± Chapter 310 - 310: It’s Rare For A Good Girl To Take A fancy to This Disappointing Son Chapter 310: It¡¯s Rare For A Good Girl To Take A fancy to This Disappointing Son Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡® Lu Ting didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry. ¡®Miss Yan, you¡¯ve misunderstood. This is my greeting gift to you andpensation for my disappointing son.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Suisui was dumbfounded. A greeting gift? Compensation? Wasn¡¯t he giving her money to leave Lu Qinshang? Lin Qingqian sat at the side and felt a little awkward. She reached out to touch the corner of her eyebrows and regretted apanying her. It was too embarrassing. Lu Ting¡¯s expression was kind and he did not have the arrogance of a rich person. He said in an approachable tone, ¡°ording to the rules, Qinshang should have brought you home and gone to meet your parents first. However, the situation is special now. so I can onlye to see von first.¡± ¡°When is it convenient for you? Let me meet your parents and settle the marriage with them.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Suisui tilted her head in disbelief. ¡°Marriage? You¡­ you agree to Lu Qinshang marrying me?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lu Ting said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯ve always hoped that Qinshang could start a family soon, but I didn¡¯t expect him to be so unreasonable and make you pregnant first. I¡¯ll apologize to your parents when I see them.¡± . ¡® Suisui didn¡¯t know what to say. She felt that it was not real. ¡°That¡­ is not necessary!¡± In the end, I was the one who craved your son¡¯s body first. ¡°It¡¯s only right.¡± Lu Yanforted her. ¡°Although our Lu family has some assets, we definitely don¡¯t have any prejudices. Marry over at ease. When the child is born, you can take care of it if you want. If you don¡¯t want to, you can go out to work.¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t help but turn to look at Lin Qingqian, as if asking, Am I really dreaming? Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t expect Lu Qinshang¡¯s father to be so open-minded. His honest attitude made her feel at ease. ¡°Qinshang¡¯s mother passed away early. I was busy with work and neglected to discipline him, so I let him enter the entertainment industry for a few years. But don¡¯t worry, after you get married, I¡¯ll make him leave the entertainment industry and go home to manage thepany well. I definitely won¡¯t let you and the child suffer or worry.¡± ¡°Leave the entertainment industry?¡± Suisui immediately looked up and became agitated. ¡°Big Brother can¡¯t leave the entertainment industry. Big Brother is born to be on the stage and be on the big screens. He has so many fans. What will they do if he leaves the entertainment industry? Mr. Lu, your family doesn¡¯t have a throne for him to inherit. Why should we let him sacrifice his dream to leave the entertainment industry?¡± Lu Ting was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect her to be even more agitated than Lu Qinshang when he mentioned his retirement from the entertainment industry. Outside the door that was not closed, a ck shadow suddenly froze. He looked through the gap at the girl in the private room¡¯s aggressive counterattack, and his phoenix eyes were filled with stormy waves. His hand that was about to open the door paused, and he did not pull it open for a long time. ¡°You don¡¯t want him to leave the entertainment industry?¡± Lu Ting asked. ¡°Of course not!¡± Suisui was no longer as reserved and uneasy as before. She said firmly, ¡°Big Brother is born to be in this industry. I believe that he will definitely be an old artist with both morals and skills in the future.¡± An old artist with good morals and skills? The corners of Lu Yan¡¯s eyebrows twitched slightly. ¡°The entertainment industry isplicated and full of temptation. Aren¡¯t you worried that those women will pester him unscrupulously in order to get to the top?¡± ¡°Big Brother isn¡¯t that kind of person,¡± Suisui replied without thinking. ¡°As for temptation, this society is filled with temptations everywhere. If we avoid an industry because of this, won¡¯t the entire society be in chaos?¡± The surprise in Lu Ting¡¯s eyes gradually disappeared as he nodded in satisfaction. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so mature at such a young age. Looks like Qinshang didn¡¯t choose the wrong person.¡± Suisui was caught off guard by her future father-inw¡¯s praise and immediately felt embarrassed. Realizing that she was agitated, she hurriedly sat down again. ¡°I-I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Lu. I shouldn¡¯t have spoken to you like this.¡± It was over. She had offended her future father-inw before she even entered the house. Lu Yan smiled indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I know you¡¯re concerned about Qinshang. Moreover, you don¡¯t have to call me Mr. Lu. Soon, we¡¯ll be a family.¡± Suisui bit her lip and called out softly, ¡°Uncle Lu.¡± Lu Yan nodded. ¡°When can Qinshang and I visit your parents?¡± ¡®Well¡ª¡± Suisui touched her ears in embarrassment. Just as she didn¡¯t know how to answer, the door of the private room was suddenly pulled open. ¡°Old man, you¡¯re pushing your luck!¡± Lu Qinshang leaned against the door and looked at him. ¡°I haven¡¯t even seen them yet. Why are you in a hurry?¡± Lu Yan was not surprised to see his son at the door. He red at him. ¡°If not for you bullying the girl, would I be in such a hurry?¡± He was just anxious to clean up this idiot¡¯s mess. When Suisui saw Lu Qinshang, her eyes lit up. She wanted to get up and walk over, but before she could get up, she was pressed back down by Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian gestured to her with her eyes: His father is still here. Be more reserved. Suisui could only sit in her seat and look at Lu Qinshang at the door with her sparkling almond-shaped eyes. Her heart was filled with joy. Lu Qinshang gave her a look and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make the arrangements. Just wait for the notice.¡± Lu Ting originally wanted to scold him, but from the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl opposite him looking at his son happily. He thought about it and dispelled this thought. It was rare for a good girl to take a fancy to this disappointing son. He couldn¡¯t scare the little girl away! ¡°Suisui, Uncle will go back first. This is Uncle¡¯s business card.¡± Lu Ting took out a business card and handed it to her. ¡°If there¡¯s anything, feel free to call Uncle. ¡± Suisui took the business card with both hands as if it was an imperial edict. ¡°Thank you, Uncle. I¡¯ll take the business card. The check and card¡­¡¯ Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Ting. ¡°This is a greeting gift. You can¡¯t refuse the rules. I¡¯ll get Qinshang to bring you home for dinner often.¡± Suisui could only look at Lu Qinshang for help.. Lu Qinshang looked at the card and cheque on the table and said in disdain, ¡°You¡¯re so old-fashioned. All you know is to give money. Can¡¯t you gift some jade, gold, or anything like that? Diamonds are fine too.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± No, there¡¯s no need. Money is better!! Lu Ting red at him. ¡°What do you know?¡± After a pause, he was afraid that Suisui would misunderstand, so he exined, ¡°Qinshang¡¯s mother left an emerald ne behind and said that it was for his future wife. However, ording to the rules, when the betrothal gifts are to be sent, they will be sent to your house with the betrothal gifts, so I didn¡¯t bring it today.¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s no need, Uncle.¡± The smile on Suisui¡¯s lips was about to freeze. I wouldn¡¯t dare to ept it even if you gave it to me. Lu Ting smiled and left after greeting them. When he passed by the door, he patted Lu Qinshang¡¯s shoulder heavily, causing him to gasp in pain. Lu Qinshang nced at him. That damn old man must have done it on purpose! Lu Ting¡¯s expression was serious, as if he didn¡¯t know what Lu Qinshang was talking about. He said earnestly, ¡°Her personality is very simr to your mother¡¯s. She¡¯s a good girl. You have to treat her well.¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°You don¡¯t have to say that!¡± Lu Ting left. Suisui immediately got up and ran to him, ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± Lu Qinshang grabbed her arm. ¡°Walk properly. You¡¯re already a Mom, yet you¡¯re still jumping around. What if my son falls out?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Suisui immediately stood properly, her face filled with joy. ¡°Why are you nerer Lu Qinshang did not say anything and looked at Lin Qingqian¡­ It was all because someone had tipped him off. Wasn¡¯t he afraid that the old man would make things difficult for her! Lin Qingqian stood up and walked over. She said softly, ¡°Since he¡¯s here, let him send you home. Ah Yan is still waiting for me outside. I¡¯ll leave first.¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll call youter.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and walked out of the private room without saying anything. Lu Qinshang turned to look at her back. ¡°Help me thank Ah Yan.¡± Suisui looked up at him. ¡°Thank Jiang Yanshen for what?¡± Lu Qinshang retracted his gaze and looked down at her. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Pack your things. I¡¯ll send you home.¡± Suisui nodded and turned to pack her things. Lu Qinshang was still leaning against the door and looking at her slender figure. Her confident and brave appearance just now kept reying in his mind, and his eyes gradually lit up. Suisui took her bag and coat and walked over to hand him the check and card. ¡°Here.¡± Lu Qinshang lowered his eyes. ¡°Why are you giving it to me?¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t give it to you, what should I do with it?¡± Suisui blinked, looking uneasy. ¡°If my parents find out, they¡¯ll break my legs.¡± ¡°How fierce are your parents?¡± Lu Qinshang took the check and card in amusement and put them in his pocket. ¡°I¡¯ll help you keep them. You can invest themter.¡± In any case, it was his father¡¯s money. He could do whatever he wanted with it. Suisui had no objections. ¡°My parents are really fierce. I doubt you can walk out of my house alive.¡± Lu Qinshang: . He didn¡¯t dare to visit his future inws. Suisui hugged his arm and shook her head. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s arm swayed and he frowned at the pain on his back. He couldn¡¯t show it in front of the girl, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Suisui saw that his expression was not right and asked curiously, ¡°Are you injured? Let me take a look!¡± Lu Qinshang held her hand and said firmly, ¡°I¡¯m fine. The old man just whipped me a few times.¡± Suisui immediately looked heartbroken. ¡°Ah? Why did he whip you? Is it because of me?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± Lu Qinshang pulled her hand and walked towards the elevator. ¡°He thinks that I found a female celebrity in the entertainment industry.¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t figure it out. ¡°Isn¡¯t a female celebrity good?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s put it this way. Between bing a monk and marrying a female celebrity, he would rather I be a monk.¡± Suisui: ¡°. The elevator door opened and Lu Qinshang pulled her in. Suisui asked worriedly, ¡°Big Brother, does it hurt very much?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt!¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying. It must be very painful. When I was young, my father caned me and it hurt so much¡­¡¯ ¡°Why did your father cane you?¡± ¡°I mixed white vinegar into his wine.¡± On the way back to Begonia Courtyard, Lin Qingqian said, ¡°I finally understand what vou mean.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her long hair. ¡°I already said not to worry.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t understand. Why is Lu Qinshang¡¯s father so against him marrying a female celebrity in the entertainment industry?¡± Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and pondered. ¡°He doesn¡¯t care about Suisui¡¯s background at all.¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she had a question and would not stop until she understood it. He could only close the document on hisp and put it aside to exin to her.. Chapter 311 - 311: Fortunately, You Can’t Have Children, Otherwise, You ‘Il Definitely Spoil Them Chapter 311: Fortunately, You Can¡¯t Have Children, Otherwise, You ¡®Il Definitely Spoil Them Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Speaking of which, Lu Ting was also an amazing person. He had started as a small contractor at a construction site and became a rich real estate businessman today. He didn¡¯t like to mess around like others when he was rich. On the contrary, he was very loyal. If he liked a girl, he would work hard to woo her and marry her. This girl was Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother. However, no matter how loyal a man was, there was nock of women with ill intentions around him. Lu Ting had been pestered by a female celebrity before. Although nothing happened, Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother still misunderstood and brought Lu Qinshang back to her family angrily. Lu Ting came to the door a few times but was rejected. In the end, he persuaded many people to prove his innocence before coaxing Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother home. However, Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother was an unlucky person. Not long after, she contracted cancer. After a year of painful chemotherapy, she didn¡¯t survive and passed away. Before she died, she left a message. Lu Ting could remarry, but he could not look for female celebrities, afraid that they would treat Lu Qinshang badly. Lu Ting remained single for a few years after his wife passed away. However, after a long time, it was inevitable that he would be lonely. There were also many young and beautiful girls around him, so he naturally had women. However, although he had all kinds of women around him, he didn¡¯t ept any female celebrities. Not only couldn¡¯t he look for female celebrities, but he also didn¡¯t allow Lu Qinshang to look for female celebrities. When Lin Qingqian heard this, her emotions were a littleplicated. ¡°Lu Qinshang¡¯s father is really¡­ No wonder Lu Qinshang is so silly.¡± Jiang Yanshen stroked her cheek with his fingertips and said gently, ¡°Although the outside world says that Lu Ting had a few children whom he groomed as his sessors after his wife died, they¡¯re all fake.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian asked curiously. ¡°The only wife he has recognized legally is Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother. The rest are all illegitimate.¡± Jiang Yanshen exined patiently to her. ¡°There were once people who wanted to climb to the top by having his children, but¡­¡± He paused and his thin lips curled into a mocking smile. Lin Qingqian was puzzled. ¡°I¡¯ve never heard of Lu Qinshang having siblings.¡± ¡°Lu Ting had a vasectomy before Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother passed away.¡± Lin Qingqian instantly understood. ¡°No wonder Lu Qinshang doesn¡¯t care about how many wives his father had.¡± Because Lu Ting couldn¡¯t have children, he only had Lu Qinshang as his son in this life. No one couldpete with him. ¡°This is good too. It prevents brothers from fighting and killing each other.¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at him andforted him. ¡°Although your father and Jiang Chongjing once fought, at least Yunshen won¡¯t fight with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His long eyshes were lowered, blocking the light in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking. Lin Qingqian blinked and asked, ¡°If you can have children, how many will you want? Boys or girls?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly as he looked at her with a burning gaze. ¡°I want a girl.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Our daughter will be as smart and exquisite as you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s maic voice sounded slowly, as if they already had a daughter. ¡°I¡¯ll give her the best things in the world and won¡¯t let anyone hurt her!¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°Fortunately, you can¡¯t have children. Otherwise, you¡¯ll definitely spoil them.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t happen,¡± he said firmly. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Lin Qingqian snorted softly and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s adopt two in the future! One Big Brother and the other, a Little Sister. The Big Brother will help you manage thepany when he grows up. It¡¯s just right for the Little Sister to take over thepany in the future. What do you think?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat moved as he lowered his head to kiss her cheek. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll work hard.¡± Lin Qingqian Why do you need to work hard to adopt a child? Suisui found a sunny day to go home and carefully told her parents that she was pregnant and about to get married. If not for the fact that she was pregnant, she would probably have been beaten to death. The next day, Lu Ting brought Lu Qinshang to visit. Strictly speaking, it was to propose a marriage. Other than the standard tobo, wine, and tonics, Lu Ting found out that Suisui¡¯s father liked to y chess and specially got someone to find a box of jade chess. Not to mention the price, just taking it out and cing it at home was so imposing that it could be treated as a family heirloom. In addition, there was the betrothal gift and an emerald ne left behind by Lu Qinshang¡¯s mother. Originally, Suisui¡¯s parents wanted to make things difficult for Lu Qinshang and wouldn¡¯t give him a good attitude. In the end, when this betrothal gift was sent in, the two were stunned. It was not excitement, but worry! The other party¡¯s conditions were too good and the pressure was huge! Suisui was worried that her parents would make things difficult for Lu Qinshang and specially called Lin Qingqian over to help her, but she wasn¡¯t needed at all. Mother Yan was a housewife who liked to watch dramas to begin with. She had only heard from her daughter that her marriage partner¡¯s family background was not bad, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be Lu Qinshang! ¡°Superstar Lu, you¡­ why did you take a fancy to my Suisui?¡± Mother Yan¡¯s face was filled with sorrow. ¡°That actress is clearly morepatible with you!¡± Suisui: ¡± When Lu Ting heard this, he immediately red at him. ¡® Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t know that his future mother-inw would also be a couple pairing fan. He hurriedly replied, ¡°Auntie, call me Qinshang! And that¡¯s just an act. I have nothing to do with her in private. We¡¯re not even friends.¡± When Mother Yan heard this, she felt even worse. What could be more heartbreaking than the couple pairing fan she had shipped previously being personally dismantled by the main character? Lu Qinshang felt even more devastated. How could his future mother-inw be a couple pairing fan who wanted to see him with another woman? Lu Ting coughed lightly and exined, ¡°Suisui is a cute and thoughtful girl. I like her very much. It¡¯s his mother¡¯s blessing from the heavens that Qinshang can marry a girl like Suisui!¡± Mother Yan sighed. ¡°But she¡¯s not beautiful, and our family doesn¡¯t have money. Isn¡¯t this marriage too inappropriate?¡± ¡°If money can be exchanged for aplete and happy family, I¡¯m really willing to give you all my money. Really!¡± Lu Ting¡¯s words were sincere and heartfelt. Who knew that he was actually willing to say anything to let this good-for-nothing son marry a wife! Seeing how sincere he was, Mother Yan turned to look at her man. What should she say? ¡°Ahem!¡± With his wife¡¯s permission, Father Yan, who had been silent all this while, finally said, ¡°Although our family isn¡¯t as rich as your Lu Family, we raised Suisui well. I just hope that she can marry a steady and reliable man in the future. It doesn¡¯t matter how much money he has, as long as he¡¯s good to Suisui.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that,¡± Lu Ting promised. ¡°If this kid dares to bully Suisui, I¡¯ll be the first to not let him off.¡± ¡°But I heard that President Lu¡¯s remarriage¡­¡± Father Yan hesitated. It was said that the rtionship between mother-inws and daughter-inws was destined to be bad. Moreover, the Lu Family¡¯sdy was not Lu Qinshang¡¯s biological mother, so she would be a stepmother-inw. Would their daughter have a good life after marrying over? ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. Suisui won¡¯t have to live with us after marrying over, but there will be servants taking care of her daily life.¡± Lu Ting had already made arrangements. ¡°If you¡¯re willing to eat with our family during the new year and festivals¡­ I don¡¯t mind either. I¡¯m fine with letting the children live with you!¡± As he spoke, his tone became bitter, and hisst sentence started to sound like he was crying. Lu Qinshang: . I¡¯ll just quietly watch you perform! Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± He sounded so pitiful. Lin Qingqian silently picked up the teacup and drank the water. She finally understood who Lu Qinshang had inherited his silly temperament from. When Father and Mother Yan heard this, they felt too embarrassed. ¡®You don¡¯t have to do this¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll go cook. You guys chat!¡± Father Yan stood up and walked to the kitchen. If he had known that the other party was so important, he would have booked a hotel. Now, he was almost unable to perform. Lu Ting stood up and took off his expensive coat. He rolled up his sleeves. ¡°Brother, let me help you¡­¡± ¡°No need, no need¡­¡± Father Yan panicked. Suisui wanted to stop him, but Lu Qinshang grabbed her and whispered in her ear, ¡°He knows how to cook. Moreover, he¡¯s going to get close to your father so that you can marry me smoothly.¡± Suisui blinked, looking confused. Was that so? But didn¡¯t Mother always have the final say in the family? Mother Yan looked at Lu Qinshang¡¯s elegant face and then at her daughter. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh and shake her head. Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± Mom, can you at least leave me some face! Lu Qinshang held Suisui¡¯s hand and said to Mother Yan, ¡°Auntie, Suisui is especially good and cute. I really like her very much. I¡¯ll definitely treat her well in the future and won¡¯t make her sad!¡± He turned to look at Suisui, a smile flowing in his phoenix eyes. ¡°If I make her sad, scold me online and defame me, I¡¯ll leave the entertainment industry and never act again!¡± ¡°How can that do!¡± Mother Yan and Suisui said in unison! Lu Qinshang: Suisui was originally quite touched by his words. When she heard him say that he would leave the entertainment industry, she immediately couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She said righteously, ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re going to be an old actor in the future. How can you leave the entertainment industry?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Mother Yan echoed and said seriously, ¡°Look at your handsome face. If you don¡¯t act anymore, it will be a huge loss for the entertainment industry and our audience.¡± Lu Qinshang felt a little smug from his future mother-inw¡¯s ttery. ¡°Auntie, you¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°By the way¡­¡± Mother Yan thought of something and said, ¡°Um, don¡¯t act in intimate scenes in the future. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t help but want to scold you. It¡¯ll be awkward!¡± Thinking about watching her future son-inw kiss another woman on television in the future¡­ was vexing! It was too annoying! Without any hesitation, Lu Qinshang agreed. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t act in those scenes anymore. I¡¯ll find a kissing substitute for the kissing scenes and a bed substitute for the bed scenes!¡± With her future son-inw¡¯s guarantee, Mother Yan was relieved. The two men in the kitchen were wearing aprons. One was washing vegetables, and the other was cutting vegetables. When they saw the happy expressions in the living room, they couldn¡¯t help but reveal gratified expressions. Father Yan: ¡®My girl isn¡¯t smart or beautiful, but in my eyes, she¡¯s the most precious treasure in the world. In the future, when she enters your Lu family, you have to treat her well!¡± Daughters were the apple of a father¡¯s eye. Who wouldn¡¯t feel terrible at the thought of giving their heart to others? ¡°When Qinshang¡¯s mother was still alive, she always wanted to give birth to a sister for him.. Unfortunately¡­¡± Lu Ting sighed and paused for a few seconds before saying in a guaranteed tone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely dote on her like my own daughter!¡± Chapter 312 - 312: Don ‘t Come Out, Don ‘t Get Close to Her… She’s Mine Chapter 312: Don ¡®t Come Out, Don ¡®t Get Close to Her¡­ She¡¯s Mine Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions This betrothal meal was harmonious and the atmosphere was especially harmonious. Both parties had a full and goodmunication and confirmation of the time and details of their marriage. As everyone was rtively busy at the end of the year, there were not many good dates to choose from. In addition, Suisui had just gotten pregnant and they were afraid that holding a wedding would be too tiring, so they set the wedding for after the child was born and after Suisui¡¯s confinement period. At the moment, the two families agreed that the safety of the child in Suisui¡¯s stomach was the most important. Because of this, Father Yan suggested that Suisui take a break and not go to work. Lin Qingqian had no objections, but Suisui insisted. ¡°I¡¯m very well now. I¡¯m fine! Why won¡¯t you let me go to work? If I don¡¯t go to work, what should I do?¡± Mother Yan said earnestly, ¡°You can apany me at home or watch Lu Qinshang¡¯s dramas a few more times.¡± Suisui shook her head like a rattle and insisted, ¡°No, I want to go to work!¡± The three elders looked at Lu Qinshang in unison, indicating for him to persuade her quickly. Lu Qinshang hesitated for a moment and said nicely, ¡°Uncle and Auntie are just concerned about you. Why don¡¯t you stop going to work? If you find it boring, I¡¯lle over to apany you every day!¡± Suisui met his serious gaze and hesitated. ¡°But¡­ but it¡¯s really boring at home!¡± Even if Lu Qinshang used a honey trap, she still did not want to stay at home every day. Who would want to listen to their parents nagging at home every day! While they were arguing endlessly, Lin Qingqian gave a small suggestion. ¡°Why don¡¯t we do this? I¡¯ll arrange for Suisui not to go out on work trips and let her do some simple and non-strenuous work. Lu Qinshang can send her to work every day.¡± This way, Suisui would not be bored at home, and everyone would be at ease with her and the child¡¯s safety. Suisui¡¯s eyes lit up and she hurriedly looked at her idol. ¡°That¡¯s a good idea, Big Brother¡­¡¯ Her small hand pinched his clothes, her eyes filled with anticipation. Lu Qinshang¡¯s heart softened at her gaze. He ignored the three elders and agreed. ¡°Alright.¡± Father and Mother Yan looked at each other. Seeing that they had decided, they could not say anything else. Lu Ting nced at his silly son and could only sigh silently. Couldn¡¯t this boy try and fight for Suisui to live with him? The house and servants were already prepared and were just waiting for the two of them to move over. The night sky seemed to be covered by a ck curtain that covered all the starlight. Only dim neon lights were left flickering in the mortal world. A faint sandalwood fragrance wafted in the room. The floormp barely outlined the room. Lin Qingqian was in a daze from her sleep. She subconsciously wanted to burrow into Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arms to find warmth, but her hands were empty. She suddenly opened her eyes. There was nothing beside her. There was no Jiang Yanshen. When she got up, she saw someone sitting on the sofa. Herzy and slightly hoarse voice sounded in confusion. ¡°Ah Yan.. His figure did not move. After five seconds, he slowly turned around to look at Lin Qingqian. His eyes were as clear as crystal, and he said in a slightly childish voice, ¡°Big Sister, are you calling me again?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Jiang Xiao Jiu hadn¡¯t appeared in a while. She almost forgot that there was another personality in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s body. ¡°Xiao Jiu, what are you doing there?¡± She lifted the nket and got out of bed. Jiang Xiao Jiu raised the iPad. ¡°I¡¯m watching television!¡± Lin Qingqian walked to the sofa and sat down. When she saw that ¡°Tom and Jerry¡± was ying on the screen and there was no sound, her heart warmed. Was he afraid of waking her up, so he didn¡¯t turn on the volume? ¡°Big Sister, did you call me Ah Yan just now?¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu stared at her curiously with her clear eyes. ¡°But why did you call me Ah Yan?¡± Lin Qingqian did not know how to answer. He probably did not know that he was a split personality, nor did he know of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s existence. If she told him, would he understand and ept it? Seeing that she couldn¡¯t answer, Jiang Xiao Jiu forgot about it after a moment and said, ¡°Big Sister, can you make something for me to eat?¡± He touched his stomach with both hands and said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved because of his silly look. ¡°Alright, what do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Minced meat noodles,¡± he replied without thinking. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, wait for me in the room obediently. Don¡¯te out.¡± Although the Auntie couldn¡¯t be here at night, it was hard to guarantee that no one else woulde. What if they bumped into each other¡­ Jiang Xiao Jiu nodded obediently. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to touch his head, got up, and walked out of the room. Jiang Xiao Jiu watched her back disappear behind the door with clear eyes. He lowered his head and his gazended on the screen¡­ Seeing that the cat in ¡°Tom and Jerry¡± couldn¡¯t catch the mouse, he couldn¡¯t help but smile. Lin Qingqian boiled the water first and prepared the side dishes. She used the other pot to make the sauce. Her mind couldn¡¯t help but think about how Jiang Xiao Jiu had not appeared for so long. Why did he suddenly appear? Nothing special seemed to have happened recently. His emotions seemed to be very stable. Could it be because¡­ Of children? Lin Qingqian quickly made the minced meat noodles and mixed it for him in advance before bringing it upstairs. Jiang Xiao Jiu finished arge bowl of minced meat noodles and even burped. Lin Qingqian took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said gently, ¡°You¡¯re full. Go to bed quickly.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu didn¡¯t obediently go to sleep like before. He looked at her and said in a childish voice, ¡°Big Sister, I don¡¯t want to sleep.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I keep feeling¡­¡± He thought for a moment and suddenly said, ¡°If I fall asleep, I won¡¯t wake up again.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned, and a forced smile appeared on her lips. ¡°How can that be?¡± Did he sense something? Jiang Xiao Jiu pursed his lips and asked, ¡°Big Sister, if I really don¡¯t wake up and you can¡¯t see me anymore, will you miss me?¡± Will she miss him? Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly. If Jiang Xiao Jiu was gone, she might be able to have a child with Jiang Yanshen. But if such a personality really disappeared¡­ ¡°Yes.¡± She reached out to touch his head and smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll miss Xiao Jiu very much.¡± Jiang Xiao Jiu looked up at the slender hand above her head and suddenly said, ¡°Big Sister, sleep with me.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you not want to sleep?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°I want to sleep again now.¡± His willful tone waspletely that of a child. Lin Qingqian naturally had to go along with him. ¡°Go to the bed and wait first. I¡¯ll put the things in the sink and apany you to sleep when Ie back.¡± She picked up her tes and walked out of the room. When she returned, Jiang Xiao Jiu was already lying on the bed obediently. Seeing her enter, he patted the space beside him excitedly. ¡°Big Sister,e quickly¡­¡± Lin Qingqian walked over andy down beside him. Just as she covered herself with the nket, Jiang Yanshen stuck his entire head over¡­ Lin Qingqian was stunned. Just as she was about to dodge, Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s childish voice sounded. ¡°Big Sister, you smell so good!¡± ¡°It¡¯s the smell of shower gel,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. She lowered her head and looked at the head in front of her. His mind was probably not more than nine years old. She was thinking too much. ¡°It smells good. I like it very much.¡± Lin Qingqian touched the back of his head. ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Neither of them spoke again, and the room fell silent. Lin Qingqian looked down at the child-like man in her arms, and the softness in her heart was touched. She lowered her head and kissed his forehead. Her voice was barely audible as she said, ¡°Ah Yan, I hope you have a good dream.¡± The next day was a cloudy day. When Jiang Yanshen woke up, there was no one around him. He got up and rubbed his forehead. He felt dizzy, as if his scalp was hurting. Suddenly, a slender and fair hand reached over and handed him a bottle cap with the pills. He looked up and met Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes. ¡°Have you not taken any medicine recently?¡± Lin Qingqian said softly, ¡°He came outst night.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the bottle cap and his throat moved a few times. He lowered his eyes and said, ¡°Can you pour me a ss of water?¡± Lin Qingqian handed him the cup of water on the bedside table in advance. ¡°Here!¡± She even tested the temperature of the cup with his palm. It was just right. Jiang Yanshen nced at her and said calmly, ¡°My stomach feels a little ufortable and I want to eat millet porridge.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go down and cook for you. Auntie seems to have cooked some shredded chicken porridge.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and walked towards the door. When she closed the door, she even turned around and instructed, ¡°Hurry up and eat the medicine.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± After the door of the room slowly closed, the smile on his thin lips quickly sank. He got off the bed and walked into the bathroom. He threw the pills into the toilet and flushed them away. Looking at the swirling water in the toilet bowl, his jawline tightened. He turned his head to look at the familiar and unfamiliar face in the mirror. ¡°Don¡¯te out, don¡¯t go near her¡­ She¡¯s mine.¡± Jiang Yanshen washed up and changed his clothes before going downstairs. Lin Qingqian happened to pick two cabbages from the vegetable garden and came back. ¡°I¡¯ll make sour vinegar cabbage for you. It¡¯s very appetizing.¡± ¡°No need. Don¡¯t you still have to go to work?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t have much of an appetite. Even his expression didn¡¯t look too good. ¡°It won¡¯t take long. Sit down first.¡± Lin Qingqian carried the cabbages to the kitchen. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep gaze chased after her back greedily. If Lin Qingqian turned around at this time, she would definitely discover the passion and obsession in his eyes. It was a stubbornness that could not be expiated even if he turned into a ghost. At the beginning of December, Lan City weed the first snow. The entire city seemed to have been changed into a white wedding dress, holy and cold. Lin Qingqian was in a meeting to discuss the next quarter¡¯s design draft when she suddenly received a call from Jiang Yunshen. When Jiang Yanshen was in a meeting, he lost control of his emotions. Not only did he smash the meeting room, but he also almost injured someone. Lin Qingqian immediately stopped the meeting and asked Chen Mu to prepare a car to go to Tianyue Group. When they arrived at Tianyue Group, Jiang Yanshen had already calmed down and Shen Zhiwei was also there. Lu Yuan was helping him treat his wound. Lin Qingqian saw his bloody hands at a nce and her heart immediately tightened. When Jiang Yanshen saw hering, he was stunned at first. He subconsciously hid his hand behind his back, his gloomy eyes shooting daggers at Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan looked panicked. I¡¯m innocent! I didn¡¯t inform Madam! Lin Qingqian walked in and closed the door. Her voice was slightly tense, but no emotions could be heard. ¡°Lu Yuan, continue.¡± Lu Yuan was stunned and did not dare to move. Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye.. ¡°Do you need me to do it personally?¡± Chapter 313 - 313: She Smells Good! Chapter 313: She Smells Good! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Her voice was as cold as ice. Lu Yuan ignored Director Jiang¡¯s gaze and lowered his head to continue treating the wound on his hand. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze did not linger on his wound anymore, but at Shen Zhiwei. ¡°Doctor Shen, he hasn¡¯t acted up in a long time. Why did he suddenly act up? Fortunately, this was the meeting room of Tianyue Group. If it was outside, these words would probably cause another wave of public opinion. Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly. She subconsciously nced at Jiang Yanshen and lowered her head to hide the guilt in her eyes. ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s been too busy with work recently and didn¡¯t rest well. His tense nerves naturally caused his bipr disorder to act up.¡± Shen Zhiwei looked at her with a firm gaze. Her voice was methodical and showed no signs of lying. ¡°Is there any way to relieve it?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. ¡°This¡ª¡± Shen Zhiwei was a little troubled. Taking medicine could relieve and control the symptoms, but this man refused to take the medicine. ¡°Taking the medicine on time, resting more, and rxing adequately. If he really can¡¯t control himself, he cane to the clinic more often. I can hypnotize him and let him rest for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Thank you, Doctor Shen.¡± When Doctor Shen heard this ¡°thank you¡± , she felt extremely guilty. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back first.¡± She quickly slipped away with her work bag. Just as she walked to the office door and was about to push it open, the door was pulled open from the outside. Gu Xici was wearing a ck uniform and holding a hat. He was not surprised to see her. After all, he hade over after receiving the news of Ah Yan¡¯s actions. As Ah Yan¡¯s psychiatrist, she would naturally be here. However, he did not expect her to leave so quickly. The moment Shen Zhiwei saw him, she almost couldn¡¯t help but curse. The ck uniform seemed to be tailor-made for him, outlining the muscles of his arms. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and two straight long legs¡­ Shen Zhiwei¡¯s face was calm, but her heart was already empty. She couldn¡¯t help but wail. Retribution! This must be retribution! The retribution for helping Jiang Yanshen hide his illness!!! Gu Xici, who had not seen her for a long time, felt a tsunami in his heart. He originally thought that he could be calmer than the previous few times, but he did not expect¡­ It still didn¡¯t work. As soon as he saw this woman, the blood in his body boiled. He felt like a wild beast that had been locked in a cage and a rabbit was suddenly thrown in¡­ All his beastly desires were stimted! Shen Zhiwei dug her nails into her palms and tried her best to pull her thoughts back. She pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Officer Gu, please move aside.¡± Gu Xici came back to his senses and stood to the side. He even pulled open the door and said politely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Doctor Shen, please¡­¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded slightly and thanked him softly before walking out of the office. When she passed by him, her coat identally brushed against his chest, even through the sweater and his clothes¡­ Shen Zhiwei could feel his firm chest. She almost lost her bnce and stumbled out. As she pretended to be calm and walked forward, she clenched her fists. Calm down, Shen Zhiwei. You can¡¯t embarrass yourself in front of him. You¡¯ll definitely have a way to get him to chase after you. Boohoo, when will he start wooing me? Gu Xici stood at the door and did not move. He watched her back as she entered the elevator. Only when the elevator went down did hee back to his senses and look down at his front. She seemed to have rubbed against his clothes just now, and¡­ She smelled good! Chapter 314 - 314: Can ‘t You Forgive Me This Once… Chapter 314: Can ¡®t You Forgive Me This Once¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian stood at the side and watched Lu Yuan treat his wound. He wrapped the gauze around it and tied a knot. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and pursed his lips. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± His voice was hoarse, and the fatigue between his brows could not be concealed. Lin Qingqian stared at him with her bright eyes for a moment and did not say a word. She turned around and walked to the water dispenser to pour him some water. Gu Xici walked in and nced at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exhausted expression. His sharp eyes couldn¡¯t hide his worry. ¡°Fortunately, you didn¡¯t hurt anyone. Otherwise, you would be the headline on the trending searchester.¡± Lin Qingqian walked over with a cup of water and handed it to him. She instructed Lu Yuan, ¡°Go and tell them not to spread what happened today. Otherwise, they¡¯ll bear the consequences.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yuan nodded and left with the medicine box. Jiang Yanshen held the cup in his left hand and took a few sips. His dry throat was moistened as he stared at Lin Qingqian with his ck eyes. ¡°Go back. Xici is enough here.¡± Lin Qingqian stood still. ¡°Where¡¯s the medicine?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten it when Shen Zhiwei came.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly as he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, not wanting her to worry. Lin Qingqian saw something surging in his bright eyes. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her voice was clear. ¡°You really didn¡¯t hide anything from me?¡± ¡°No,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking, his clear eyes filled with tenderness. ¡°I promised you that I wouldn¡¯t lie to you.¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and her gazended on Gu Xici¡¯s face. ¡°I still have to go back to thepany first. I¡¯ll leave him to you.¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°I¡¯m fine today. I promise to send him back to Begonia Courtyard safelyter.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± Because Gu Xici was around, Lin Qingqian could only look at him deeply before turning to leave the office. As soon as she left, Jiang Yunshen came over. ¡°Why did Sister-inw leave?¡± Jiang Yunshenined unhappily, ¡°I specially asked her toe over and apany you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lowered eyshes suddenly fluttered as he threw a cold gaze over¡­ Jiang Yunshen¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he asked carefully, ¡°Should I¡­ not notify Sister-inw?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were covered in a thickyer of frost. Without a word, he stood up, pulled out a document from his desk, and threw it into his arms. Jiang Yunshen caught the document in a hurry. Before he could speak, he heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice. ¡°You handle this UK project.¡± ¡°Brother!¡± Jiang Yunshen immediately wailed, ¡°Can I not go?¡± Who knew how afraid he was of going to Ennd! ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything in Africa, Japan¡­ or Laos or Myanmar?!¡± As long as it was not Ennd! He really did not want his butt to be touched when he walked on the street! ¡°It¡¯s either Ennd or¡­¡± The cold voice paused. His sharp eyes shot towards him as he slowly finished the second half of his sentence. ¡°You can seek guidance from Xici.¡± Gu Xici, who was called out, raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Was this to take Yunshen¡¯s life? Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face was ashen with fear. ¡°What¡¯s the difference between this and asking me to die?¡± ¡°Brother, my dear brother, I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. Can¡¯t you forgive me this time¡­ ¡± He did not want to choose either option. Jiang Yanshen looked at him without saying anything, his expression saying everything. ¡°Alright! If you want me to die, I have nothing to say!¡± Jiang Yunshen pulled his tie, took off his coat, and threw it on the sofa before lying on the ground. He turned to look at Gu Xici. ¡°Come on, I won¡¯t fight back. I can¡¯t beat you anyway.¡± The 1.85 -meter-tall many on the ground like a big worm. His vicious eyes seemed to be saying, ¡°Come on, ravage me.¡± Gu Xici: Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± After a moment of silence, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°Siu!¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s closed eyes quickly opened when he heard his words. He got up, picked up his clothes, and ran. Gu Xici¡¯s good-looking lips curled into a helpless smile. ¡°Your brother¡­ is really a clown.¡± Jiang Yanshen rubbed the space between his eyebrows. ¡°He really knows how to cause trouble for me.¡± Gu Xici caught the sh of irritation in his eyes and the smile on his lips disappeared. He said in a serious tone, ¡°Are you hiding something from us?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up at him and quickly lowered his gaze without saying anything. ¡°You can¡¯t lie to me.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s tone was very certain. This was his understanding as a friend and his intuition as a police officer. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tightly pursed thin lips moved slowly. ¡°I stopped taking the medicine.¡± Gu Xici was stunned. In the evening. When Lin Qingqian returned to Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen had already returned. Gu Xici was also there and ying chess with him. She took off her coat and hung it on the hanger. She was wearing a beige sweater under it. The beige fur entuated her gentle temperament. She walked to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side and sat down, saying softly, ¡°Are you alright?¡± He could only hook her little finger with his exposed finger. ¡°Do I look like I¡¯m alright?¡± Seeing that his expression was much better, Lin Qingqian¡¯s uneasy emotions gradually dissipated. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll cook personally.¡± She asked the two men¡¯s opinions gently. Gu Xici held the chess piece in his hand and did not speak. He nced at Jiang Yanshen opposite him. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and said, ¡°Xici likes spicy food like you.¡± Lin Qingqian was extremely smart and instantly understood the meaning behind his words. ¡°I¡¯ll go make dinner. It¡¯ll be quick.¡± ¡°Take your time. This game of chess won¡¯t end so quickly.¡± Jiang Yanshen was afraid that she would be anxious and hurt herself. Lin Qingqian smiled and walked to the kitchen. Gu Xici looked up at him with a faint smile. ¡°Looks like you don¡¯t intend to give me a quick death.¡± In terms of chess, he had never won against Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Qianqian¡¯s culinary skills are very good. You didn¡¯t lose out.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his tone was faintly proud. Gu Xiciughed and shook his head. For dinner, Lin Qingqian prepared six dishes. There were light and heavy vors, and she took care of both their tastes. Gu Xici usually ate in the station¡¯s canteen. When he suddenly tastes Lin Qingqian¡¯s dishes, he couldn¡¯t help but give her a thumbs up. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t open a restaurant with your skills.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°I only know a few dishes. If I open a restaurant, it will definitely close down.¡± ¡°A few signature dishes are enough.¡± Gu Xici sighed. ¡°If the chefs in the bureau had your culinary skills, I would be happy to stay in the bureau every day.¡± Jiang Yanshen said casually, ¡°Your bureau can¡¯t afford to hire Qianqian.¡± Asking Madam Jiang to cook for them. Aren¡¯t they afraid of getting indigestion? Gu Xici and Lin Qingqian looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help butugh. This man was too serious. He couldn¡¯t even joke around. After dinner, Gu Xici went back. Lin Qingqian tidied up the kitchen and went upstairs with a ss of water. Jiang Yanshen had juste out of the bathroom. She handed him the water and medicine. ¡°Take the medicine.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the pill calmly and put it in his mouth. Then, he took the ss of water and drank half a ss. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower. Wipe your hair first and I¡¯ll blow dry it for youter.¡± Lin Qingqian brought him a clean towel. ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the towel and sat on the sofa, wiping his hair with his left hand. Lin Qingqian watched his broad back view for a moment before taking his clothes to the bathroom. When Jiang Yanshen heard the sound of the door closing, he turned his head slightly and waited for the sound of water flowing from the bathroom. Then, he spat out the pills under the tip of his tongue, wrapped them in a tissue, and threw them into the trash can. It was cold outside the windowte at night, but it was a hot summer inside. Lin Qingqian carefully held his injured right hand and said worriedly, ¡°Be careful not to touch it.¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned down to kiss her and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was red as she squeezed out a soft sentence between her teeth. ¡°One hand is fine too?¡± Tiang Vanshen pansed and smiled- ¡°Do von want to check?¡± Lin Qingqian was extremely shy. How could she really check? Even if his right hand was injured, it did not affect the man¡¯s performance at all. After that, Lin Qingqian was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Jiang Yanshen got up and went to the bathroom to get a clean towel to wipe her body. Then, he cleaned himself up and threw away the trash in the trash can. When he returned, Lin Qingqian had already fallen asleep. He sat by the bed sleeplessly, his deep eyes staring at her sleeping face. He was unprecedentedly satisfied. He leaned over and gently kissed her cheek. His dark eyes were filled with gentle determination. No matter how difficult it was, no matter how much pain and torture he had to endure, he would give her whatever she wanted. He was willing to give his body and love to her. Even his life was in her hands. For the next few days, Lin Qingqian personally brought him medicine and water every day. She only felt relieved after seeing him eat the medicine with her own eyes. As usual, Jiang Yanshen hid the medicine under his tongue and pretended to take it. He knew that Lin Qingqian was very smart. She must have started to suspect something, so he had to do it wlessly, regardless of whether it was controlling his emotions or in bed. Without the help of the medicine, his sleep quality became worse and worse. He often opened his eyes until dawn. In order not to look like he was in a bad state of mind and make Qianqian suspicious, he would add half a piece of sleeping pill to Lin Qingqian¡¯s milk every few days to let her sleep. This way, Lin Qingqian would be able to sleep until dawn and not wake up in the middle of the night unable to find him. She wouldn¡¯t also be as worried asst time. He went to Shen Zhiwei¡¯s clinic and relied on her hypnosis to sleep for two to three hours everyday. It¡¯s Christmas, and owing to the brand events and the concurrentmercial performances by multiple artists, Shi Guang Studio¡¯s team is needed to provide styling support for these contracted performances. Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai each brought two teams separately. They were busy from morning to night and only had a bowl of wontons for lunch. At around nine in the evening, Lin Qingqian dragged her tired body back to Begonia Courtyard. Although it was not snowing, it was cold. The bright moon hung alone in the night like a pancake. Lin Qingqian looked up at the cold moonlight. Her breath emitted balls of mist, as if she was letting out a long breath. Jiang Yanshen heard the sound of a car in the living room. After waiting for a long time, no one came in. He stood up and walked to the door to see her thin figure standing outside in a daze.. Chapter 315 - 315: Your Christmas Present Chapter 315: Your Christmas Present Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Are you nning to stand guard here?¡± A low and hoarse voice slowly sounded. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Jiang Yanshen walking out in a thin shirt. She hurriedly went forward and pulled his hand into the house. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen the moon in a long time, so I wanted to take a few more nces.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand and was relieved to find that it wasn¡¯t cold. ¡°You can look from inside the house too. What are you thinking about?¡± Lin Qingqian bent down to take out her slippers from the shoe cab. When she was about to bend down to take the slippers, Jiang Yanshen had already squatted down. ¡°Let me¡­¡± She was stunned for a moment and did not reject Jiang Yanshen¡¯s kindness. ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about anything. I just feel that time passes very quickly.¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of thought in her eyes. ¡°Last winter, I thought that I might spend the rest of my life alone. I didn¡¯t expect to remarry you this year.¡± Time passed quickly. Many things had happened between them in the past year. Jiang Yanshen had changed drastically. He was no longer so arrogant and self-centered. He would take the time to apany her, hug her and talk to her. He would light up the entire city for her when she became the target of ridicule of the entire city. Jiang Yanshen stuffed her feet into her furry slippers. When he looked up at her, his ck eyes were bright. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect it either.¡± In the past, he was also prepared to only watch her from afar for the rest of his life¡­ Lin Qingqian lowered her head and kissed his lips. ¡°Auntie is on vacation. What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll make it.¡± No matter what, it was Christmas. There was no Christmas feast, but they had to have supper together. ¡°No need,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied. Before Lin Qingqian could react, the doorbell rang and Jiang Yanshen opened the door. ¡°F*ck! I¡¯m freezing to death!¡± Jiang Yunshen was the first to run in, carrying a delivery box. Lu Qinshang pulled Suisui in, followed by Gu Xici. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Why are you all here?¡± Although she had the image of a mature and steadypany CEO outside, in front of Jiang Yanshen, her personality was still more or less as lively as before and she liked to liven things up. Gu Xici brought in two bottles of wine and said with a smile, ¡°Ah Yan is afraid that you¡¯ll feel depressed. Coincidentally, we don¡¯t have anywhere to go, so we came over for a meal. Do you mind?¡± ¡°Of course not, ¡± Lin Qingqian replied, her gazending on Suisui. ¡°Your outfit¡­¡± She paused, her expression a little indescribable. Suisui was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket that wrapped her from head to toe. She was also wearing a red hat on her head. Only her big ck eyes were revealed around the scarf. She pulled off her scarf and panted. ¡°I don¡¯t want to either¡­¡± From the corner of her eye, she nced at Lu Qinshang, who was putting things aside, and said in a low voice, ¡°Big Brother forced me to wear it. He said it was warm and festive- What can I do?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at Lu Qinshang¡¯s back. Previously, she was still worried that Lu Qinshang would not treat Suisui well. Now, it seemed that she was thinking too much. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s hands were red from the cold as he stuffed them into his arms andined, ¡°Why can¡¯t we just let Lu Yuan and the others do this kind of thing? Why do I have to do it myself?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know how to wear gloves if you despise the cold?¡± Lin Qingqian poured a ss of hot water and handed it to him. ¡°How can that do!¡± Jiang Yunshen took the cup to warm his hands and said righteously, ¡°I¡¯m so valiant and handsome. I won¡¯t be handsome if I wear gloves.¡± Lin Qingqian: Forget it, so what if the brat at home was a little stupid? Could they sever ties? Jiang Yanshen opened the takeaway food box and Lin Qingqian looked over curiously. ¡°What is it?¡± Jiang Yanshen opened the package, revealing a steaming roasted chicken. Lu Qinshang had brought packed food, and it was all hot. Initially, Jiang Yanshen nned to do it himself, but there was not enough time. He made a portion and threw it into the trash can, so he could only call them to bring some food. Lin Qingqian smelled the fragrance of the roasted chicken and immediately felt hungry. ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten much all day. Now that I smell the fragrance, I suddenly feel very hungry.¡± ¡°Go wash your hands. I¡¯ll go get the bowls and chopsticks.¡± Jiang Yanshen arranged gently. Now, he was no longer the Director Jiang who did not enter the kitchen. Suisui¡¯s cotton nket was taken off. Lu Qinshang threw it on the sofa and pulled her hand like he was pulling a child. ¡°Wash your hands obediently too. I¡¯ll snatch a roasted drumstick for you to eatter.¡± ¡°Big Brother, you¡¯re so good.¡± Suisui looked at him with sparkling eyes filled with admiration. Lin Qingqian: Suddenly, she was not so hungry. Everyone sat down, and Gu Xici poured three sses of wine. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Suisui and Ah Yan can¡¯t drink, but why don¡¯t I have any Gu Xici¡¯s hand that was putting down the wine bottle paused and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen looked down at her. ¡°You¡¯ve been so tired recently, so don¡¯t drink. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡± His gentle voice was filled with coaxing. Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and agreed. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll drink the fruit juice.¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled and ced the poured fruit juice in front of her. Everyone raised their sses first. After putting down the cups, Lu Qinshang quickly took a drumstick and handed it to Suisui. Jiang Yanshen unhurriedly took the other piece and ced it on Lin Qingqian¡¯s te. Jiang Yunshen took a deep sip of wine and sighed. ¡°The drumsticks were all mine in the past. In the future¡­¡¯ He looked at Lin Qingqian with all kinds of resentment, his heart turning sour. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but find it funny. ¡°It¡¯s just a drumstick. If you want to eat it, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± Just as she was about to give the drumstick to Jiang Yunshen, the man beside her stopped her with his chopsticks. ¡°You can¡¯t give it to him. He has better ones.¡± Everyone at the table looked at him curiously. Jiang Yanshen unhurriedly cut off the roasted chicken butt and ced it on Jiang Yunshen¡¯s te. . Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face instantly darkened. The others couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Are you still my biological brother?¡± Jiang Yunshen asked from the depths of his soul. Jiang Yanshen replied expressionlessly, ¡°We¡¯re not biological brothers to begin with. ¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± Goodbye, I want to run away from home!! ! The dining table was filled with warmth andughter because of Jiang Yunshen. The light and shadow were gentle, and everyone¡¯s faces were filled with smiles. Even the usually cold Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but smile as he stared at Lin Qingqian with a gentle gaze. The few of them chatted as they ate. Suisui casually asked Lin Qingqian when she would return to Yu Mountain. This year¡¯s Spring Festival will arrive very early. January was the new year. No matter how busy Lin Qingqian was, she had to return to Yu Mountain to celebrate the new year. ¡°I¡¯m almost done with work this year. There¡¯s nothing for me to do in the next few days. I might go back a few days in advance,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Of course, she had another goal. That was to tell Auntie about her remarriage with Jiang Yanshen. At the thought that she was going back to Yu Mountain, Jiang Yanshen held her small hand reluctantly and wrapped it tightly. Lin Qingqian looked up at him and said softly, ¡°We¡¯ll be able to see each other in a week at most.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything, but he held her hand and kissed her fingers. ¡°Heavens¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes. ¡°Can you give us single dogs a way out!¡± Lu Qinshang hurriedly covered Suisui¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s not suitable for children!¡± Suisui pushed his hand away. ¡°I¡¯m an adult.¡± ¡°You still have a child in your stomach,¡± Lu Qinshang said solemnly. Suisui: ¡± What could a three-month-old child know? Gu Xici only curled his lips, picked up the wine ss, and drank it in one gulp. The gathering ended toote. The few of them stayed at Begonia Courtyard for the night before returning. Everyone was asleep. Jiang Yanshen put on a ck coat and chose a warm down jacket for Lin Qingqian. He led her to the vegetable field in the backyard. Previously, when it snowed, the Auntie had made a shed for the vegetable field, so the vegetables in the vegetable field were not frozen. At this moment, they were still green and full of vitality. ¡°Why did you bring me to the vegetable field in the middle of the night?¡± Lin Qingqian asked curiously. Jiang Yanshen pulled her to a small shed and removed the brick that was pressing down on the thermal film. Other than a thinyer of soil, there was nothing else in the shed. ¡°Your Christmas gift.¡± Jiang Yanshen pointed at the small sign in the shed. Lin Qingqian squatted down and saw the words on the small sign¡ªMerry Christmas. She couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°What did you nt?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when springes.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warm palmnded on the top of her head, his eyes filled with love. ¡°You don¡¯tck anything now, and I really can¡¯t think of anything to give you.¡± In the past, when there was a festival, Lu Yuan would usually help him prepare a bouquet of flowers and a set of jewelry for her. Some were picked by him, and some were rmended by the jewelry shop¡­ At that time, he did not know that she did not like these things, nor did he know that he needed to please a girl with special things. These were all things he had slowly learned after he lost her. It turned out that it would take so much effort to keep someone happy for a long time. If it was in the past, he would definitely be disdainful, but the target was Qianqian, so he was willing to do this. Lin Qingqian knew that he was deliberately leaving her hanging, so she did not ask further. She stood up and held his arm, saying in a light and pleasant voice, ¡°Let¡¯s take a walk. I haven¡¯t taken a walk with you in a long time.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her slightly cold hand and ced it in his pocket. ¡°Don¡¯t I have you?¡± Her eyes were filled with trust and dependence. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and smiled. He pulled her along the path slowly. The moonlight lengthened their figures and projected them on the ground. Gradually, they ovepped and fused into one. In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of January. Lin Qingqian arranged thepany¡¯s matters and packed her things to return to Yu Mountain. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yanshen had prepared it for her in advance. He had even prepared Auntie¡¯s share. Other than Lin Qingqian¡¯s clothes and skin care products, there were also tworge boxes. Lin Qingqian looked at the threerge boxes and said worriedly, ¡°Even if I carry one on each shoulder, I won¡¯t be able to carry them home.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Chen Mu will send you back. When Aunt asks, just say that you hired the driver.¡± ¡°Then won¡¯t it be too troublesome for Chen Mu toe back again?¡± Although Chen Mu was a bodyguard, he also had a family. At this time, he should go home to apany his family. ¡°This is his job. Moreover, he¡¯ll fly straight back to his hometown after sending you back. It won¡¯t dy anything.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out and pinched her little face.. ¡®Why do you have to worry about everyone?¡± Chapter 316 - 316: Untitled Chapter 316: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian reached out to hug his waist and said with a smile, ¡°Aren¡¯t I supposed to be your good wife?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her hair. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°If you worry about me, you¡¯ll be a virtuous wife.¡± Other men should not exist in her mind or thoughts. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t refute and hugged him tightly. Thinking about how they would be separated for the next few days, her heart was filled with reluctance. The announcement to board the ne sounded. Lin Qingqian reluctantly let go of him and turned to board the ne. Jiang Yanshen stood in front of the floor- to-ceiling window and watched the ne carrying Lin Qingqian glide on the runway. It became faster and faster until it rushed into the sky. It moved further and further away, finally bing an unreachable light spot thatpletely disappeared behind the clouds. Lu Yuanforted him from the side. ¡°Director Jiang, Madam is just going back to her hometown for the new year. She¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Director ng¡¯s expression macle It 100K like tney were gomg to part torever! Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and red at him darkly. Lu Yuan immediately bit his lip and pretended that he didn¡¯t say anything. Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at a certain point in the sky again. A momentter, he turned around and left the terminal. With Chen Mu sending her there, the journey was very smooth. When Lin Qingqian walked to the door of the house, Lin Chaoyan was killing ducks at home. The women in the vige came to help. From afar, they could see smokeing from the chimney and the screams of ducksing from the house¡­ When she walked into the house, she saw duck feathers flying all over the ce. Someone was killing ducks, someone was boiling water, and someone was plucking duck feathers. Lin Qingqian: When Lin Chaoyan, who was slicing the duck¡¯s neck with a vegetable knife, saw her, she was so excited that she almost cut off the duck¡¯s neck. ¡°You, why are you back so early?¡± Lin Chaoyan walked towards her happily with the blood-stained kitchen knife. Lin Qingqian subconsciously took a step back. ¡°Auntie, let¡¯s talk nicely. Put down the knife first.¡± Lin Chaoyan reacted and threw the kitchen knife to the side. She wiped her hands with her apron and reached out to take the bags from her hand. From the corner of her eye, she saw Chen Mu pushing three more boxes in. ¡°Aiyo, is this your new boyfriend?¡± She sized up Chen Mu from head to toe and nodded in approval. ¡°He looks delicate and very reliable.¡± Lin Even Chen Mu¡¯s rough facial features could be described as delicate and reliable. What was wrong with Auntie¡¯s eyes? ¡°Aiya, you¡¯ve worked hard¡­¡± Lin Chaoyan went forward to wee Chen Mu warmly. She smiled even happier than if she had sold all the pigs. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard along the way. Hurry up and go into the house to drink a ss of water. Qianqian is really insensible. How can she let you take everything alone!¡± Chen Mu was frightened by her enthusiasm and froze on the spot, not daring to move. Seeing that he was not moving, Lin Chaoyan reached out to pull him¡­ ¡°Auntie, he¡¯s a colleague from mypany. He¡¯s just sending me back out of kindness.¡± Seeing that Chen Mu¡¯s expressionless face was about to copse, Lin Qingqian spoke up to help him out. Lin Chaoyan smiled. ¡°You¡¯re colleagues now¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ll only be colleagues in the future as well!¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted her and said to Chen Mu, ¡°Thank you for sending me here. You can go back first.¡± She originally wanted to invite Chen Mu into the house for a ss of water, but she did not dare to do so now. If Jiang Yanshen heard about itter, it would be fine for her, but she was afraid that she would implicate Chen Mu and cause him to lose his job. After receiving her instructions, Chen Mu immediately put down the boxes and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave first. Goodbye, President Lin.¡± With that, he nodded at Lin Chaoyan and turned to leave. Lin Chaoyan refused to give up and said to his back, ¡°Eh? Don¡¯t go¡­ Stay for dinner¡­ ¡± She couldn¡¯t help but chase after him¡­ Chapter 317 - 317: Jiang Yanshen: If I’m a Duck, What Are You? Chapter 317 - 317: Jiang Yanshen: If I¡¯m a Duck, What Are You? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian hurriedly pulled her back. ¡°Auntie, you scared my colleague.¡± Lin Chaoyan stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. ¡°This guy looks good. He¡¯s honest and reliable. He¡¯s much better than those who only have superficial looks. Why don¡¯t you know to cherish it?¡± Lin Qingqian: She felt that her Auntie was implying Ah Yan, but there was no evidence. Lin Chaoyan helped her move the boxes into the house. As she moved, she muttered, ¡°It¡¯s good that you came back. Why did you bring so many things? Those who don¡¯t know might think that you moved.¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t been back in a year. It¡¯s only right for me to buy more things,¡± Lin Qingqian exined, feeling a little uncertain. Everything was prepared by Jiang Yanshen. She didn¡¯t know what he had prepared. Lin Qingqian ced everything in the room and sent Jiang Yanshen a WeChat message to inform him that she was safe. Then, she changed her clothes and tied her hair up before going to the front courtyard to help. Although she had stayed in Lan City for seven to eight years, she did not behave differently when she returned to Yu Mountain. She took the initiative to help them pluck the duck feathers. Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t bear for her to do it. ¡°It¡¯s so tiring for you to work outside. Go to the back and rest. You¡¯re not needed here.¡± Lin Qingqian said nonchntly, ¡°How tiring can plucking feathers be? With more help, everyone can rest early.¡± Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t persuade her, so she could only let her do it. The women in the room didn¡¯t stop working, but their mouths didn¡¯t stop either. From the beginning, they talked about the families in the vige, the neighboring vige, and so on. In the end, the topic turned to Lin Qingqian. They didn¡¯t ask why she didn¡¯t bring her rich husband back for the new year. Instead, they asked how much she had earned in a year, whether she had bought a big house, and when she would bring Lin Chaoyan over to the city to enjoy life. Everyone was just chatting and did not have any ill intentions. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled without answering. Seeing that they were still asking, Lin Chaoyan took a sip. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business how much my girl earns. I won¡¯t give it to you to spend.¡± ¡°Big Sister Lin, what are you saying? We¡¯re just concerned about you,¡± a woman younger than Lin Chaoyan said with a smile, but her eyes were filled with malice. Usually, Lin Chaoyan had a shrewish personality and often mocked her. Today, when she had the chance, she had to counterattack. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡± Lin Chaoyan threw the duck that had finished bleeding to the side and said in a cold voice, ¡°I won¡¯t go even if my girl earns a mountain of gold and silver. The buildings in the big city look imposing, but they¡¯re actually no different from cages.¡± After a pause, she smiled in embarrassment. ¡°Aiyo, I forgot. Sister, you¡¯ve never been to a big city or lived there before, so you don¡¯t know.¡± The woman¡¯s expression suddenly turned ugly. ¡°Big Sister Lin, I¡¯m doing this for your own good. It¡¯s said that raising a child is to gain ayer of insurance for when we get old. Look, you don¡¯t have any children. If thatss Lin doesn¡¯t show her filial piety, you won¡¯t even have anyone to send you off in the future.¡± Everyone knew that Lin Chaoyan had never gotten married in her life and had no children. This was stabbing her heart with a knife. Lin Chaoyan smiled and spat in her heart. She didn¡¯t know how many times she had scolded the little b*tch. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that, Aunt.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was calm. ording to seniority, she should be addressing her as Young Aunt. ¡°Aunt can live wherever she wants. Even if she wants to live in the pce, I¡¯ll help her build one. However, the mud house at Young Aunt¡¯s house copsed from the previous storm. I wonder if you built a new house?¡± ¡°No, no!¡± The woman who usually got along well with Lin Chaoyan said, ¡°If not for the fact that Wang Laosan lent them their cowshed, they would probably have to sleep in the straw hut.¡± This stab directly made Young Aunt fall out with her. ¡°You, you¡¯re all too much.¡± She stood up and red at Lin Chaoyan. ¡°Pfft! Good intentions are not rewarded with gratitude these days. Just wait to cry in the future.¡± She turned to leave. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me crying. It¡¯s fine if you want to leave, but put the duck down first!¡± Lin Chaoyan hurriedly said. Her eyes were filled with ridicule as she looked at her back. ¡°You didn¡¯t even pluck more than a few strands of duck feathers and you want to take my duck away. Do you have any shame?¡± Young Aunt stopped in her tracks and her face turned red from humiliation. She threw the duck she was holding tightly to the ground. ¡°Who cares about your lousy duck? pfft!¡± She turned around and left. ¡°Aiyo! It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t care. I can make another dish on New Year¡¯s Eve.¡± Lin Chaoyan walked over and picked up the duck that had half its feathers plucked. She spat at her back. ¡°What kind of lousy thing is this? She¡¯s sozy all day and only wants to take advantage of others. Shameless!¡± The atmosphere in the living room was a little quiet for a moment. No one spoke. Lin Qingqian looked at Young Aunt¡¯s back worriedly, hesitating if she had spoken too harshly. After all, she was an elder. In the future, if she still lived here, it wouldn¡¯t be good for her. ¡°Don¡¯t take her words to heart. She¡¯s just like that!¡± The big sister with rough skin and short hair sitting beside Lin Qingqian lowered her voice and said, ¡°She often badmouths Ah Yan behind his back, but she keeps wanting to get things from your Auntie. Isn¡¯t she shameless?¡± ¡°Aiyo! Why are you telling her this?¡± Lin Chaoyan red at her and said to Lin Qingqian, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m doing quite well here.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything, but her eyes were filled with helplessness and heartache. She had never gotten married in her life. Coupled with the fact that she had an abortion when she was young and her body was injured, she couldn¡¯t have any children. This was like a knife that everyone could hold in their hands. As long as they wanted to, they could stab Auntie in the heart. Even if she wanted to protect her Auntie, she was powerless and could not resist the fearsome rumors. ¡°If I¡¯m not worried, who are you worried about? I don¡¯t have a mother. You raised me. Aren¡¯t you my mother?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips lightly and said in front of the women in the vige, ¡°It¡¯s only right for me to worry about my own mother.¡± Lin Chaoyan was very touched by her words and the corners of her eyes turned red. However, they had always been reserved in their lives. How could they say such mushy words? ¡°Pluck your duck feathers. You¡¯re so talkative.¡± She picked up the kitchen knife and ughtered thest two ducks to let them bleed. This year, Lin Chaoyan raised more than 20 pigs and sold them all. She sold 35 out of 50 ducks, leaving 15 behind. She kept five for herself and gave the rest to the families in the vize. As a woman, she could not farm much. She only raised pigs, chickens, and ducks. Usually, she had to rely on the help of the vigers. The ducks were going to be gifted to them as a return for their favor. The sky outside the door gradually turned dark. The few people in the house had already plucked the duck feathers agilely and each carried a duck home. Lin Qingqian stood up and stretched. Lin Chaoyan finished cooking dinner and came over to help her clean up. ¡°You must be tired. Rest early after dinner.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. After dinner, she used the electric water heater to take a shower and changed into her pajamas before hiding under the nket. She picked up her phone and saw several WeChat notifications. She clicked on them and saw that it was from Jiang Yanshen. She opened it and pressed it to her ear to listen¡­ Jiang Yanshen: Rest well at home. The things in the ck box are for Auntie. You can give the things in the silver box to others. Jiang Yanshen: I stuffed tens of thousands of yuan into your box. If you give out red packets, you should be able to use them. Jiang Yanshen: I¡¯ll look for you after I eat with Granny, okay? Thest syble was filled with coaxing, afraid that she would not agree. Lin Qingqian was afraid that Lin Chaoyan would hear her and typed a reply. Lin Xiaoqian: Why do I feel that you wereying the groundwork earlier? Thest sentence is your true goal. Jiang Yanshen replied instantly: I miss you. Lin Xiaoqian: Alright, I¡¯ll talk to Auntie in the next two days. I promise to convince her. Jiang Yanshen: It¡¯s fine if you can¡¯t convince her. Wait for me. Lin Xiaoqian: Aren¡¯t you afraid that my Auntie will chop you with a kitchen knife? I saw her use the kitchen knife to ughter the ducks very skillfully today. Jiang Yanshen: If I¡¯m a duck, what are you? Lin Qingqian would not fall into his trap. Lin Xiaoqian: I¡¯m going to sleep. I¡¯m sleepy. Jiang Yanshen: Qianqian, goodnight. After saying goodnight to him, Lin Qingqian put down her phone and couldn¡¯t help but yawn. She closed her eyes with tears in her eyes and fell asleep. Lan City. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fingers caressed her profile picture, and his lips curled up, his eyes filled with tenderness. Jiang Yunshen pushed the door open and saw this scene. ¡°F*ck!¡± He turned around and wanted to go out again. ¡°Get in.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his phone, his ck eyes returning to their usual coldness. Jiang Yunshen turned around and returned. ¡°Grandma asked when we¡¯re going to Jiang City? I didn¡¯t mean toe in and disturb your sweet time.¡± If he knew that he was chatting with Lin Qingqian, he would note in even if he was beaten to death. Jiang Yanshen nced at him with his dark eyes. The light in his eyes couldn¡¯t hide his disdain for him. ¡°Go and prepare. We¡¯ll go over tomorrow.¡± ¡°So early?¡± Jiang Yunshen was a little surprised. ¡°The earlier I go, the earlier I can go to Yu Mountain to pick up your sister-inw.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± He really wanted to p himself. Who asked you to have such a cheap mouth? Why are you asking this! In the private room of the cafe. As there were few people during the new year, the private room looked even more deserted. The attendant immediately left after delivering the coffee. Ming Xiao picked up her coffee and took a sip. She looked at the man beside her with a smile. ¡°Now you believe that I didn¡¯t lie to you.¡± Han Liubai held the document tightly in his hand, and his usually warm eyes turned gloomy. ¡°How did you get this medical history file?¡± ¡°Money talks!¡± Ming Xiao put down the coffee cup, her eyes filled with uncontroble excitement. ¡°As long as you have money, there¡¯s nothing that can¡¯t be done.¡± Han Liubai closed the document and threw it on the table. His voice was slightly cold. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Hold Lin Qingqian back so that I have a chance to get close to him.¡± Ming Xiao went straight to the point. ¡°Why should I help you?¡± Han Liubai asked again. ¡°This is not beneficial to me.¡± ¡°Benefits?¡± The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s lips deepened as she smiled coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to see the Jiang Family fall? If I can help you fulfill this wish and let you get Lin Qingqian, this will be killing two birds with one stone. I can¡¯t think of any reason for you to refuse.¡± The fall of the Jiang Family? ¡°Don¡¯t you want to get Jiang Yanshen?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right..¡± Ming Xiao stirred his coffee casually and said, ¡°But as long as he¡¯s the President of Tianyue Group, I can¡¯tpletely control him!¡± Chapter 318 - 318: Dog of a Man’s Temper Is Tougher Than a Dog! Chapter 318 - 318: Dog of a Man¡¯s Temper Is Tougher Than a Dog! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Han Liubai understood. She didn¡¯t love Jiang Yanshen, but she wanted to conquer and control such a man, just like ying with a doll. ¡°As far as I know, although the Ming Corporation is rich, they don¡¯t even have the ability to shake the Tianyue Group¡¯s branch!¡± Han Liubai¡¯s cold voice said slowly. If she wanted to drag him down with her, she would probably be disappointed. Ming Xiao smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we already have this as leverage. You just have to keep an eye on this woman, Lin Qingqian. Don¡¯t let her ruin my ns.¡± She paused and chuckled. ¡°Although I can deal with her very easily, President
Han probably can¡¯t bear to!¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes narrowed as he warned coldly, ¡°I dare you to touch her!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± Ming Xiao sneered in disdain. She sighed and said sarcastically, ¡°What charm does this Lin Qingqian have? Not only is Jiang Yanshen mesmerized, but even President Han is willing to be her puppy.¡± Han Liubai took out a note from his pocket and ced it on the table. He stood up and looked down at her, the light in his eyes cold. ¡°You¡¯ll never understand, because¡­¡± The cold voice paused and said word by word, ¡°She¡¯s different from you.¡± With that, he turned around and walked out of the private room. The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s lips froze as she bit her pomegranate-red lips gently, the light in her eyes gradually turning sinister. Was she different? Of course she was different! She¡¯s just a wild girl from the countryside, and she was the daughter of the Ming Corporation. The difference in status was naturally iparable!! Therefore, be it her career or Jiang Yanshen¡­ they should belong to her. There were still two days before the new year. Lin Chaoyan had many things to do and was so busy that she could not stop for a moment. Meanwhile, Lin Qingqian sat on a small stool and plucked the feathers of the duck. She did not even have the time to talk to Lin Chaoyan properly. In the evening, it started snowing lightly. The white snowkes melted when theynded on the ground. Soon, the ground was wet. When it was time for dinner, it was not the small snowkes that floated in the air, but heavy snowfall. The ground was pure white, and the cold wind blew into the house. As Lin Chaoyan closed the door, she said, ¡°Why does it snow every year during the Spring Festival? It¡¯s really tough!¡± Lin Qingqian did not care if it snowed or not. Instead, sheforted her. ¡°It¡¯s auspicious snow that signals a prosperous year.¡± Lin Chaoyan turned around and said, ¡°Don¡¯t shower tonight. It¡¯s too cold and there¡¯s no heater.¡¯ Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed. It was a habit to shower every day in Lan City because there was a heater. In a remote ce like Yu Mountain, there was no need to be so particr. They just had to get some hot water to wipe their bodies. After dinner and washing up, Lin Qingqiany under the nket and called Jiang Yanshen. Afraid that Lin Chaoyan would hear her, she hid under the nket and spoke very softly, like a young girl in love who was afraid of being discovered by her parents. On the phone, Jiang Yanshen asked her if she had told Lin Chaoyan. Lin Qingqian stammered guiltily for a long time and did not dare to answer directly. ¡°Yunshen and I are in Jiang City. After eating with Grandma, I¡¯ll set off in the afternoon. I should be able to reach you tonight.¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s no need to be so fast!¡± I haven¡¯t thought of how to tell Auntie yet. ¡°Qianqian, this matter has to be resolved.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice was seductive as he coaxed her gently. ¡°If you can¡¯t solve it, let me solve it.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m afraid that Auntie will make things difficult for you.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t hide her worry for him. Perhaps he was pleased by her worry, Jiang Yanshen chuckled softly and said earnestly, ¡°Auntie won¡¯t really hack me to death. At most, she¡¯ll make things difficult for me a little and say a few ugly words.¡± ¡°I heard a lot of this when we got divorced. I¡¯m already immune to it.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Why do your words sound like you¡¯re bringing up old scores? Did I wrong you back then by calling you a Dog of a man?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to cry out in grievance.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice was mixed with a faint smile. ¡°So you should give me a chance to change Auntie¡¯s opinion of me.¡± ¡°Alright, on the ount that you¡¯re so obedient, I¡¯ll definitely find an opportunity to tell Auntie tomorrow.¡± At the very least, she had to say it first. When Ah Yan came, Auntie would be less angry and make things easier for him. Lin Qingqian was hiding under the nket and talking to him on the phone too seriously, so she didn¡¯t notice that the door was pushed open. ¡°Hey, how old is this child? Why are you still sleeping with your head covered? Don¡¯t you feel ufortable?¡± The sudden voice shocked Lin Qingqian. She did not even have the time to end the call and hide the phone under her body. She stuck her head out and said nervously, ¡°A-Auntie, why are you here?¡± ¡°I brought you a ss of milk.¡± Lin Chaoyan handed the hot milk to her with a ¡°No!¡± Lin Qingqian took the milk. ¡°Thank you, Auntie.¡± ¡°Go to bed early after drinking the milk.¡± Lin Chaoyan left after saying that. When she closed the door, she did not forget to remind her, ¡°Don¡¯t sleep with your head covered. It¡¯s so stuffy!¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Lin Qingqian replied and urged, ¡°Close the door quickly. It¡¯s so cold. Hurry up and sleep too.¡± When Lin Chaoyan heard that she was cold, she closed the door and went to the other room. Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief. She reached out to touch her cell phone and saw that the call had not ended. She heaved a long sigh of relief. ¡°I was almost caught by Auntie. If not for the fact that I graduated many years ago, she would definitely think that I was writing a love letter to a boy.¡± ¡°Love letter?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and cold voice came from the other end of the phone. Lin Qingqian panicked. Oh no, she had identally dug a pit for herself. ¡°Um, at that time, I was young and insensible. Everyone in the ss wrote¡­¡± Before she could finish exining, Jiang Yanshen sneered. ¡°I remember that in the past eight years, you¡¯ve never written me a love letter. You actually wrote love letters to others! Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re really something!¡± With that, the voice wrapped in ice hung up, not giving her a chance to exin. Lin Qingqian was petrified as she held her phone. She did not expect that an unintentional sentence would actually attract such a huge disaster! She was no longer in the mood to drink the milk. She hurriedly called back, but no one picked up. When she called again, no one picked up¡­ After confirming that he would not answer her call, Lin Qingqian sent a series of WeChat messages¡ª Lin Xiaoqian: That was when I was in middle school. It was only once, and he didn¡¯t ept it.¡± Lin Xiaoqian: I wanted to write a love letter to you too when I chased you, but I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t have the patience to read it, so I didn¡¯t write one. Lin Xiaoqian: It wasn¡¯t popr anymore to write love letters at that time. I made you a loving breakfast every day, but I didn¡¯t make it for anyone else. Lin Xiaoqian: Ah Yan, don¡¯t be angry. No matter how many messages she sent, Jiang Yanshen did not reply. Lin Qingqian was also a little emotional. Didn¡¯t she just write a love letter to someone in the past? She didn¡¯t even know him back then. Was there a need for him to be so angry? Lin Xiaoqian: I¡¯m angry. ¡°Come and coax me.jpg.¡¯ After sending the memes and waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Yanshen still did not reply. Lin Qingqian sent another one. Lin Xiaoqian: If you don¡¯t coax me, forget it.jpg After sending it, she put down her phone, picked up the milk, and drank it in one gulp before lying down to sleep. Dog of a man¡¯s dog temper was too difficult to coax! Jiang City, Silken Vi. Jiang Yanshen panted heavily. His handsome facial features were covered in sweat, and his eyes were still red. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Again.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t, I can¡¯t¡­¡± Jiang Yunsheny on the ground and couldn¡¯t get up. He said bitterly, ¡°If you¡¯re unhappy, go look for Sister-inw. What¡¯s the point of bullying me!¡± Jiang Yanshen clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying his best to suppress his violent emotions. He opened his eyes again and looked at Jiang Yunshen, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog. His ck eyes were filled with disdain. ¡°Useless.¡± He pretended to be dead after being hit twice. Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t take it anymore and got up to sit. ¡°Hey! Brother, can you leave me some dignity? Do you think everyone is like you, a pervert who goes boxing for no reason? I grew up a f*cking normal teenager. So what if I can¡¯t withstand your beating? If you have the ability, go and settle scores with Lin Qingqian. You only know how to bully me. I¡¯m not doing it anymore!¡± Second Young Master Jiang had a temper now. He stood up and walked out. He had just taken two steps when a foot flew over from behind. His entire body hit the wall and his nose bridge almost shattered. Jiang Yanshen said coldly, ¡°Useless.¡± With that, he walked out of the room. Jiang Yunshen touched his nose and was in so much pain that he could not speak. He roared like an evil dragon in his heart, Damn it! I won¡¯t be able to survive this year. I want to run away from home! When Jiang Yanshen returned to his room, his emotions had already calmed down. He opened his cell phone and saw her WeChat messages¡­ Coldness and frustration surged in his dark eyes again. He casually threw the cell phone on the sofa! Anxiety, restlessness, and the ache of longing intertwined, tormenting the remnants of his dwindling sanity andposure. Now, there was only one thought in his mind. He would tie her up and lock her on the bed, make her submit to him, and make her only have him in her mind, heart, and eyes. ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡¯ He was like a terminally ill person who had no spirit. He said her name over and over again as if he was praying to the gods for protection and salvation. Late at night, Lin Qingqian slept in a daze and had a dream. In her dream, she returned to the first time she saw Jiang Yanshen in the Jiang family¡¯s greenhouse eight years ago. However, there were no servants in her dream. She was alone. She watched as the handsome man in the greenhouse involuntarily pushed open the greenhouse door. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen looked up and slowly looked at the evil smile on her lips. He said word by word, ¡°I, am, not, Jiang, Yan, Shen!¡± Lin Qingqian woke up immediately. Her heart raced uncontrobly and she didn¡¯t know how many minutes she sat there. In the darkness, she felt something sway. She reached out and turned on the light, looking up at the light bulb hanging in midair. The lightbulb swayed and even flickered as if it was about to be extinguished. The chaos in her mind suddenly woke up. She grabbed the clothes by the bed and put them on. Then, she put on her shoes and rushed out of the room. ¡°Auntie, Auntie is in an earthquake. Run¡­¡± The moment she opened the door, she saw that it was snowing heavily. The bone-chilling wind seemed to want to cut off ayer of flesh on her face. ¡°Auntie, Auntie¡­¡± She couldn¡¯t care less and ran to the door of the next room with difficulty. Lin Chaoyan usually had the habit of locking her room when she slept. She couldn¡¯t push the door open and could only knock on the door and call out to her. After a while, the lights in the room lit up. Lin Chaoyan came out with her clothes on. Lin Qingqian grabbed her wrist and ran out. Right on the heels of that, more than half of the houses in the entire vige lit up. The quiet snowy night was broken just like that.. Chapter 319 - 319: Untitled Chapter 319: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The screams of women, the cries of children, and men¡¯s panicked shouts intertwined. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was nk. She couldn¡¯t think of anything. She only grabbed Lin Chaoyan¡¯s hand and ran towards the vige entrance with all her might. The Lin family¡¯s house was close to the mountain. Even if the earthquake didn¡¯t bring down the vige, once the mountain slope copsed, it was very easy for rocks to roll down and fall. The most spacious and safe ce in the vige was the empty area at the vige entrance. It was not only Lin Qingqian who had such thoughts. For a moment, the entire vige fled towards the vige entrance. During the process, there were inevitably pushes, arguments, and fights. Seeing that two middle- aged men were about to start brawling, Lin Qingqian scolded in a cold voice, ¡°What time is it now? Why are you still fighting? Do you want to die?¡± Only then did the two men react. There was no anger left. It was more important to escape. Lin Qingqian had already grabbed Lin Chaoyan¡¯s hand and ran a few steps away. Then, she heard the sound of something copsing not far away¡­ The entire ground shook, and everyone screamed and cried in fear¡­ Even the usually shrewish Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t help but tremble at this moment. When she turned around and saw the originally standing house instantly turn into a pile of soil, her tears instinctively fell. Lin Qingqian held her hand tightly and hugged her with her other hand. She tried her best to control her panic andforted her. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s fine¡­ Lin Chaoyan was still afraid. If not for Qingqian waking up and calling her, if not for them running fast enough, if the Lin family¡¯s house had copsed with them in it¡­ The strong tremors made one unable to stand steadily. In the darkness, someone sat on the ground and cried, ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. We¡¯re all going to die¡­ With this cry, everyone¡¯s emotions copsed and they cried together. The men in the vige were silent. They hugged their children as best as they could and hugged their wives as they stood helplessly in the snow, waiting for the anger of nature to subside. The tremorssted for about ten minutes before gradually stopping¡­ The sound of the snowstorm became louder and louder. The bone-chilling wind blew on everyone¡¯s faces, cutting their skin like a knife. Someone suddenly asked in confusion, ¡°Did you hear anything?¡± For a moment, everyone held their breaths and listened. There seemed to be a woman shouting for help in the darkness, deste and desperate. ¡°Oh no, it seems like Old Luo didn¡¯t run out.¡± Someone said. ¡°The copsed house seems to be Wang Laosan¡¯s cow shed.¡± The gathered vigers immediately stopped talking. Even their sobs became softer and softer. The electricity in the vige was cut off, and there were no lights. The cold and dark night was only illuminated by the silver-white light of the faint moon and the torchlight that someone had grabbed as they rushed out of their house. The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the cries and pleadsing from the snow became louder and louder. They were heart-wrenching and knocked on everyone¡¯s hearts- However, no one knew how badly she was crushed. No one knew if the earthquake would return¡­ Seeing that no one moved, Lin Qingqian let go of Lin Chaoyan¡¯s hand and walked forward. Lin Chaoyan immediately grabbed her hand. ¡°What are you going to do?¡± ¡°To save her.¡± Her clear voice sounded calmly without any hesitation. ¡°You can¡¯t go!¡± Lin Chaoyan grabbed her hand tightly and said fearfully, ¡°Who knows if there will be aftershockster? It¡¯s too dangerous. I can¡¯t let you!!¡± ¡°Auntie!¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know if there will be any aftershockster, but I know that if we don¡¯t save her, she will really die..¡± Chapter 320 - 320: When She Saw the Cell Phone Out of the Corner of Her Eyes, She Wanted to Take It… Chapter 320: When She Saw the Cell Phone Out of the Corner of Her Eyes, She Wanted to Take It¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°But if anything happens to you, how will I exin it to the Old Master when I go down in the future?¡± Lin Chaoyan sobbed and held her hand, unable to let go. ¡°When I was young, Grandpa taught me that I have to have a clear conscience.¡± Lin Qingqian held her cold hand firmly. ¡°I believe that if Grandpa was around, he definitely wouldn¡¯t stop me from saving people.¡± On the contrary, Grandpa would definitely be the first to rush over to save her. Lin Chaoyan knew that the Old Master had lived a carefree life. Everyone in the surrounding viges praised him. If the Old Master was around, he would definitely save the trapped person. However, Lin Qingqian was the only child of the Lin Family after all. She was really afraid that something would happen to her. And how would she exin it to Old Master in the future? ¡°Auntie, just let me go.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t resist fiercely. Instead, she persuaded her patiently, ¡°If I don¡¯t go now, someone will really die.¡± It was not that she was not afraid of death, but she could not be indifferent to the distress of other people. As long as one was alive, they had to have some bottom line and conscience. Lin Chaoyan sniffed and made up her mind. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t stop you from saving her, but I¡¯ll go with you.¡± If something really happened, it would be meaningless for her to live alone. She might as well go down and atone for her sins for the Old Master. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t object. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go together!¡± The two of them held each other¡¯s hands tightly. No matter how heavy the snow was or how dangerous it was, they walked towards Wang Laosan¡¯s cow shed with difficulty. When the others saw the two women step forward, they naturally could not hold it in anymore. ¡°Wait, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The man with the shlight wanted to go, but his wife grabbed him. ¡°What are you going to do? If something happens to you, how will we live?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m lucky. As a man, can I be inferior to two women?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. We men can¡¯t be inferior to women!¡± The vige chief, who had been silent until now, also spoke. ¡°The women in the vige can wait here with the children. If you¡¯re a man, follow us for this rescue mission.¡± Although the women were unhappy, they could not dissuade the men¡¯s determination. More than ten men walked towards the cow shed in a hurry. Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan did not expect them to catch up so quickly. Lin Chaoyan called out, ¡°Vige Chief.¡± The vige chief: ¡°Don¡¯t say anything else. Saving people is more important.¡± When the group came to Wang Laosan¡¯s cow shed, they saw that the shed that was originally steeped in mud was now in ruins. Luo Juan was a little slower when she ran out. Her legs were trapped under the mud bricks and she could not pull them out. She cried her heart out and wailed, ¡°Save me, save me. I don¡¯t want to die¡­ I haven¡¯t waited for my man to return.¡± ¡°Hurry up and save her!¡± As soon as the vige chief spoke, all the men stepped forward to help. Someone moved the wood that was pressing on top, and others moved the mud bricks with their bare hands. Lin Qingqian went forward and wrapped her in her down jacket. Her calm voiceforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. You¡¯ll be fine soon.¡± When Luo Juan ran out, she was only wearing a thinyer of undergarment. At this moment, she had long frozen in the snow. Only when she was wrapped in Lin Qingqian¡¯s down jacket did she feel a trace of warmth. Snot and tears rubbed against Lin Qingqian¡¯s body. She did not care and keptforting Luo Juan. She told her not to cry and to conserve her strength. Luo Juan¡¯s emotions finally calmed down bit by bit, but she was still trembling in fear. After everyone¡¯s efforts, they finally pulled her leg out from under the mud brick. It was dripping with blood, and her pants were dazzling red. The men in the vige carried her on their backs and moved her to safety. Someone kindly draped their coat over her body. Otherwise, she would have frozen to death before she bled to death. The vigers heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone had returned safely. There was a huge rock at the entrance of the vige. Someone had cleaned up the snow and they could sit on it. When they saw them return, they immediately gave up the rock. Luo Juan was ced on a rock and sat down. Her legs were so numb that she felt nothing. The vige chief looked at the wound on her leg and smacked his lips. ¡°This injury is too serious. If we don¡¯t stop the bleeding, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to keep this leg.¡± ¡°How can we treat this?¡± Someone said, ¡°There¡¯s no doctor in the vige. Usually, we have to walk to town to treat illnesses. In this situation, we can¡¯t walk to town.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t Old Li¡¯s family have a tricycle? We can take the tricycle and bring her to town,¡± the vige chief said. ¡°How is that possible?¡± Old Li pped his thigh. ¡°The tricycle in this world of ice and snow will flip over if it¡¯s not pedaled well. Moreover, our ce was affected so badly by the earthquake. Who knows how chaotic the town will be?¡± The vige chief also had a worried expression. ¡°Then does anyone have any medicine? We have to stop her bleeding first.¡± Everyone shook their heads. Usually, if the vigers had a headache or fever, they would just drink some ginger tea and ovee the illness themselves. Who would spend money on extra medicine and leave it at home? When Luo Juan heard their words, she cried even harder. ¡°What if my leg is crippled?! My husband and child are all outside¡­ I might as well die.¡± The vige chief frowned. ¡°What are you saying? Living is more important than anything.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Lin Chaoyan. ¡°Auntie, is the medicine box I brought for you still here?¡± Lin Chaoyan nodded. ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯ve never used them before. I ced them under your bed. ¡± . She said to the man beside her, ¡°Help me cover her wound first. Don¡¯t let her continue bleeding.¡± The man hurriedly went forward to help. Lin Qingqian turned around and looked at the vige chief. ¡°I have a medicine box at home. There should be medicine that can be used. I¡¯ll go back and get it.¡± ¡°This¡­¡± The vige chief was a little hesitant. ¡°You can¡¯t go back. It¡¯s too dangerous.¡± Lin Chaoyan disagreed. Lin Qingqian nced at Luo Juan, who was wiping her tears non-stop, and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Lin Chaoyan knew that it was very difficult to change her mind, but she was worried about her going back alone. ¡°I can run faster alone. If youe with me, I¡¯ll be distracted and worried about you!¡± Only then did Lin Qingqian insist on not letting her apany her. She said to the vige chief, ¡°Vige Chief, please help me take good care of my Auntie.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you have to be careful yourself, ¡± the vige chief instructed. He took the shlight from the person beside him and handed it to her. Lin Qingqian took the shlight and turned to run home. Lin Chaoyan looked at her back and wiped her tears worriedly. Lin Qingqian ran all the way to the door of the house and stopped to catch her breath. She also observed the environment and didn¡¯t feel any tremors before continuing to run into the house. She was very familiar with the furnishings of the house. With the shlight, she quickly ran through the front room into the backyard and into her room. First, she found the medicine box under the bed and took it out. She stood up and nced at the box beside her. She opened it and grabbed a few pieces of her clothes and hugged them. She thought of something and reached for the thing under the pillow, clenching it tightly in her palm. When she saw the cell phone from the corner of her eye, she wanted to take it¡­ However, the ground under her feet seemed to tremble. She did not dare to hesitate and turned to run out. She ran out of the front room and saw a figure in the dim light. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s sobbing sounded in her ears. ¡°Qianqian, Qianqian¡­¡± ¡°Auntie, I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was afraid that she would be worried, so she hurriedly replied. When Lin Chaoyan saw her running out, she was angry and happy. ¡°You scared me to death!!¡± Seeing the things in her arms, she reached out to take them and could not help but mutter, ¡®What are you doing with these clothes?¡± ¡°Young Aunt didn¡¯t wear a coat. I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll freeze to death.¡± Lin Qingqian followed her to the vige entrance. ¡°I got her a shirt to keep her warm.¡± Lin Chaoyan¡¯s mouth was stubborn, but her heart was soft. ¡°Why do you care about that woman¡¯s life or death? She won¡¯t freeze to death.¡¯ Lin Qingqian did not say anything and quickened her pace towards the vige entrance. Seeing that they had returned safely, the vige chief was relieved. Lin Qingqian walked in front of Luo Juan and put down the medicine box. She took a sweater from Lin Chaoyan and put it on Luo Juan, then took a jacket for her to wear. The coat was returned to the original owner. As Lin Qingqian opened the medicine box, she said, ¡°Auntie, see which family doesn¡¯t have clothes and share a few with them. Take care of the elderly and children first. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Chaoyan carried the remaining three jackets to see who needed them. ¡°Two people, help me hold her down. Don¡¯t let her move.¡± When Lin Qingqian spoke, the others subconsciously followed her instructions without any hesitation. It was as if she had already be the backbone of this group of people, but she was clearly a little girl in her early twenties. Luo Juan was held down by the two men and could not move. Lin Qingqian first washed her wound with peroxide to disinfect it, then stopped the bleeding and applied ointment. Finally, she tied it up with a bandage. After this ordeal, Luo Juan was in so much pain that she did not even have the strength to move. She copsed on the rock. If not for someone supporting her, she would have copsed long ago. When Lin Qingqian stood up, her legs were numb and she fell uncontrobly. Lin Chaoyan quickly supported her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head and massaged her numb legs. ¡°I¡¯m fine. My legs are just numb from squatting for too long.¡± Previously, she was afraid and was busy saving people and treating their wounds. She did not feel it, but now that she stopped, she felt that her limbs were about to freeze. It was the same for the others. Lin Qingqian leaned against Lin Chaoyan¡¯s body weakly and looked at the vige chief. ¡°Vige Chief, I can only treat her wound briefly. The bleeding has stopped, but we should still send her to the hospital in town for the doctor to take a look.¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no car. It¡¯s a 30-kilometer walk to town.¡± The vige chief said worriedly, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on in town either.¡± ¡°It¡¯s normal for Wang Laosan¡¯s mud house to copse. The houses in town were builtter. They should all have earthquake-proof measures. It shouldn¡¯t be a big problem. ¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t hide the fatigue on her face as she analyzed calmly, ¡°Find a few young and strong people to carry Young Aunt and rotate her along the way! She¡¯s still young. If we can keep her leg, we should try our best to do so.¡± The vige chief thought for a moment and thought that this method would work. He immediately gathered people to see if anyone was willing. Fortunately, the vigers were still kind-hearted. They were still willing to walk 30 kilometers to send Luo Juan to the hospital. Luo Juan was quickly carried on a muscr man¡¯s back. Before she left, she looked at Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan and squeezed out a hoarse cry. ¡°Thank you..¡± Chapter 322 - 322: But You Only Have Me Chapter 322 - 322: But You Only Have Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian lowered her head and focused on changing the child¡¯s dressing, not noticing the abnormality around her. Until the little kid poked her forehead. ¡°Big Sister¡­¡¯ ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and asked in a gentle voice, ¡®What¡¯s wrong?¡± The child did not say anything and pointed behind her. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw the man standing not far away. Her mind went nk. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and strode in front of her. His long arm reached out to grab her and pull her into his embrace. He hugged her tightly, leaving no gaps.
When Lin Qingqian was hugged tightly in his arms, she still had a confused expression. Her clear eyes were filled with disbelief, and she suspected that she was dreaming. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair, his eyes filled with heartache and pity. Lin Qingqian regained some of her rationality and reached out to push him away. She took half a step back to distance herself from him and looked up at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features. Her voice was as soft as willow catkins. ¡°You, why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed, and his thin lips moved. ¡°Why do you think?¡± Because you¡¯re here! Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused as she realized that her eyes were red and misty. She bit her lip and said, ¡°Are you stupid?¡± ¡°Do you know how dangerous this ce is? What if there¡¯s another earthquake? What if you¡¯re infected? What will happen to the Tianyue Group? What will happen to Grandma?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t even blink as he said in a low voice, ¡°Tianyue Group and Grandma has Yunshen, but you only have me.¡± And I only have you. A bean-sized tear rolled out of her bright eyes. She raised her hand to wipe it away and said, ¡°Idiot,¡± before hugging him again. It was not that she was not afraid fromst night until now, but she could not show her weak side in front of Auntie. She had to be strong. Otherwise, how could she take care of Auntie? Until this moment, when she was hugged by Jiang Yanshen in this world of ice and snow, the suppressed fear and grievances were finally torn open and disintegrated. She was afraid, and her aggrieved tears fell one by one. It was as if she could only shed her disguise in his arms and no longer have to be the Lin Qingqian who could remain calm in the eyes of others. Jiang Yanshen felt her trembling and hugged her even tighter. He kissed her long hair tenderly and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here.¡± Lin Qingqian tightened her grip on his arm. When she smelled the familiar ebony agarwood on his body, she felt the coldness in her heart being driven away by an invisible me. The emptiness was also filled up tightly, not leaving a single gap. With a ssh, the warmth between the couple was diluted. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Lin Chaoyan¡¯s shocked and angry expression. At her feet was an empty basin. Lin Chaoyan red fiercely at Jiang Yanshen with anger in her eyes before turning around and walking home. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and wanted to chase after her. Jiang Yanshen reached out and grabbed her wrist. Lin Qingqian turned around and said anxiously, ¡°Help me change the little kid¡¯s dressing first. I¡¯ll talk to Auntie.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. Before he could speak, his fingers were pried open and he watched helplessly as her figure chased after Lin Chaoyan. ¡°Big Brother, are you going to change my dressing?¡± The little kid looked up at him, her face frozen red. ¡°I¡¯m cold¡­ Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and his gaze shifted from her small face to her legs. Because one of her legs had been bandaged, she had taken off her cotton pants and was only wearing a pair of thermal underwear. The legs of her pants were even rolled up. He squatted down and helped Lin Qingqian deal with the aftermath. Lin Qingqian only caught up to Lin Chaoyan when she reached the door of the house. She held her hand and said, ¡°Auntie, listen to my exnation¡­¡± ¡°Exin what?¡± Lin Chaoyan flung her hand away angrily. ¡°What did you promise mest year? You said that you wouldn¡¯t be with him. How long has it been?¡± Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lin Chaoyan angrily. ¡°Have you forgotten how the Jiang family treated you? Have you forgotten how you survived those three years?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Lin Qingqian replied softly. How could she forget that cold and meaningless marriage? ¡°You forgot!¡± Lin Chaoyan said indignantly, ¡°You¡¯re degrading yourself like this to let me, Old Master, and yourself down.¡± As she spoke, her body trembled with anger. ¡°Auntie, I know it¡¯s my fault for hiding it from you, but I¡¯ve already grown up. I know what I¡¯m doing,¡± Lin Qingqian exined unhurriedly. ¡°If you knew that back then, you wouldn¡¯t have shamelessly married that Jiang guy and let them humiliate you like that!¡± Lin Chaoyan was furious and couldn¡¯t choose her words. Every word was like a knife stabbing into Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart. ¡°You¡¯re just a wild girl from the countryside. Do you really think that the Jiang family will take a fancy to you? They¡¯re just ying with you. They¡¯ll throw you away like a pair of broken shoes after ying with you¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face instantly alternated between green and white. She never expected her Auntie to humiliate her like this. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, ¡°I¡¯ve already remarried Jiang Yanshen.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Lin Chaoyan was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She was so angry that she raised her hand and pped Lin Qingqian without thinking. The sound was so loud that it almost made one hold their breath. When Jiang Yanshen, who was walking over, saw this scene, his heart seemed to have been smashed by something. He walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side in three steps. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± He hugged Lin Qingqian with his long arm and turned to look at Lin Chaoyan with a cold gaze. Lin Qingqian¡¯s skin was tender and fair, and palm prints quickly appeared on her face, making Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart ache. She looked up at Jiang Yanshen and then at Lin Chaoyan. Lin Chaoyan¡¯s curved nails dug into her flesh. A trace of regret shed across her eyes as she said stubbornly, ¡°I think you¡¯ve grown up and your wings have hardened. No matter what I say, you won¡¯t listen. In that case, don¡¯t call me Auntie in the future. I¡¯ll pretend that I never raised you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the house. ¡°Auntie¡­¡± When Lin Qingqian wanted to chase after her, Jiang Yanshen grabbed her arm, his ck eyes firm and heartbroken. ¡°Let me see your face.¡± As he spoke, he pinched her chin and raised it. His dark eyesnded on her cheek and his thin lips moved slightly. ¡°It¡¯s red. Fortunately, it¡¯s not swollen.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled his hand away and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯ll go and see Auntie.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her arm tightly and said in a low voice, ¡°She¡¯s in a fit of anger. She won¡¯t listen to anything you say now.¡± ¡°But it¡¯s too dangerous in the house.¡± Lin Qingqian was worried about leaving her Auntie alone in the house. ¡°The more you speak, the more wrong you¡¯ll sound. It¡¯s better to find someone to persuade her toe out of the house first,¡± Jiang Yanshen analyzed calmly. Lin Qingqian thought about what he said and felt that it made sense. ¡°Then let¡¯s go look for someone.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. Lin Qingqian walked to the ce where the vigers cooked and found the neighbor who was usually on good terms with Lin Chaoyan. She asked her to call Lin Chaoyan out first. It was too dangerous in the house. The Big Sister was a good person. She untied her apron and left without another word. Lin Qingqian originally wanted to help her look after the pot, but Jiang Yanshen pulled her to a chair at the side and sat her down. ¡°What are you doing?¡± She looked up at him. Jiang Yanshen did not say anything and gave Lu Yuan a look. Lu Yuan immediately went to the medicine box and took out an ointment to send over. ¡°Director Jiang, this is to reduce swelling and bruises.¡± Jiang Yanshen took it and wanted to apply it for her. Lin Qingqian tilted her head and dodged. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not swollen. I¡¯ll be fine in two days.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep voice carried a hint ofmand. His fingers pinched her chin and raised it. His fingers that were squeezed with the ointmentnded on her cheek and gently rubbed it away. She had just been pped and her cheek still hurt a little. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and secretly gasped. ¡°Does it hurt a lot?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked. ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Her fingers clenched her sleeves tightly as she forced herself to say. Jiang Yanshen caught her minor movements, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. He didn¡¯t expose her disguise, and his rub became much lighter. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arrival attracted the attention of the vigers. Fortunately, he had alsoest year and was quickly recognized as Lin Qingqian¡¯s rich husband. There was an earthquake and a virus in the vige. Someone who dared toe in at this time was definitely a good person. In less than an hour, there were rumors at the vige that not only was the man Lin Qingqian married rich, but he was also especially good. To be able toe in to look for Lin Qingqian at this time, he was even more affectionate than the men on television. While eating, Lin Chaoyan was persuaded out by her eldest sister, but she did not sit at the table. When they set up the tent, everyone worked together. The women at home cooked together, and the vigers ate together. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat at the other table. She could see Lin Chaoyan when she turned her head, but Lin Chaoyan¡¯s expression was gloomy. She didn¡¯t even give her a nce. The person at the same table called them to eat and wanted to pour wine for Jiang Yanshen¡­ Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand to block it. ¡°Sorry, he can¡¯t drink.¡± The man was stunned for a moment before retracting his wine ss. He smiled awkwardly and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. The wine we drink is indeed not up to standard¡­¡± ¡°Uncle, that¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Lin Qingqian said sincerely, ¡°He¡¯s not in good health and takes medicine often, so he can¡¯t drink.¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at Jiang Yanshen and seemed to understand immediately. He smiled and said, ¡°I see. It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine¡­ Eat more vegetables then. ¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± He turned his head and looked at Lin Qingqian with a helpless gaze. ¡°When did I not feel well?¡± Lin Qingqian did not expect Uncle to have such thoughts. She blinked innocently. ¡°You do take medicine often.¡± Jiang Yanshen red at her without any lethality. Lin Qingqian eagerly scalded his bowl and chopsticks with hot water and picked up some food for him. ¡°Eat the vegetables. These vegetables are all nted by our family. They¡¯re very sweet!¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that she was trying to please him, so he didn¡¯t say anything else and lowered his head to eat. Lin Qingqian knew that he was a clean freak. He usually despised eating with Gu Xici and the others, let alone the vigers. Therefore, before everyone picked up their chopsticks and chatted or drank, she secretly added all the dishes that were not spicy and ced them in his bowl. She turned her head and revealed a sweet smile. ¡°These are very delicious. Hurry up and eat..¡± Chapter 325 - 325: Where Did We Get A Child From? Chapter 325: Where Did We Get A Child From? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. She realized what she was saying and shook her head with a smile. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± ¡°You¡¯re already so old. Auntie really shouldn¡¯t have hit you.¡± A hint of regret surged in Lin Chaoyan¡¯s loving eyes. ¡°You¡¯re a big girl after all. pping your face hurts your self-esteem.¡± ¡°Auntie was too angry today. Don¡¯t be angry with Auntie. Auntie won¡¯t hit you anymore in the future.¡± Although she did not directly say the words ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡±, 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 Qingqian¡¯s delicate face. ¡°I know that Auntie is doing this for my own good. I even hid such a huge matter from Auntie. I really deserve a beating.¡± Although this p 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. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go help them cook.¡± She nced at the tent. ¡°I¡¯ll call you when I¡¯m done. Bring the food to the tent to eat. It¡¯s cold outside.¡± 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. ¡°Thank you, Auntie. I knew that Auntie dotes on me and Ah Yan.¡± Lin Chaoyan spat and said angrily, ¡®Who cares about him!¡± She brushed Lin Qingqian¡¯s 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 rxed. A gust of cold wind blew over, and she couldn¡¯t help but sneeze. She rubbed her nose and turned to walk into the tent. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s 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. ¡°What did you say to Auntie? She looks very happy!¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Jiang Yanshen replied softly. Lin Qingqian looked up at him with a strange expression, ¡°Don¡¯t try to fool me. I know Auntie¡¯s temper and personality very well. If you didn¡¯t give her any guarantees, how could she ept you so easily?¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned forward, his eyes bright as he said hoarsely, ¡°Then tell me, what guarantee did I give her?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic.¡± After failing to change the topic, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up helplessly. His burning eyes met hers as he said clearly in a low voice, ¡°I said that when we have children in the future, they¡¯ll take your surname.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned and blinked. ¡®Where did we get a child from?¡± He really dared to say it!!! ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we¡¯ll adopt one? When the timees, we¡¯ll look for a newborn. Just say that she doesn¡¯t know that you gave birth to one,¡± 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 minutester, 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 gazended on the old clothes on the bed. ¡°Do you need my help?¡± Jiang Yanshen looked around, his expression a little unnatural. ¡°Change here?¡± Although there was mist on the white membrane and it was blurry, he was still not used to it. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go out and keep watch for you. Change yourself.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® 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. ¡°Lu Yuan¡­¡± When Lu Yuan heard Lin Qingqian call him, he didn¡¯t care about anything else and ran over with a silly expression. ¡°Madam, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the huge stove not far behind him. There was firewood burning inside. ¡°Big Sister said that yams roasted inside this are very delicious. I want to make two.¡± 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. ¡°I¡¯ll help you do it. Go and help me find an ointment.¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°Alright.¡± 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 couldn¡¯t 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. ¡°It¡¯s hot.¡± Lin Qingqian pped his hand away. ¡°Wait for it to cool down.¡± Lu Yuantie smiled innocently. ¡°Madam, do you want to eat?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not eating.¡± Lin Qingqian took the ointment and stood up to return to the tent. Lu Yuan asked again, ¡°Then Director Jiang¡­¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yanshen had probably never eaten this thing since he was young. ¡°Then send one overter.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± 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 heck this piece of yam! There was nock!! Lin Qingqian caught the disappointment in his eyes andughed. ¡°We have a lot of yams like this. If you like it, I¡¯ll roast more for you tomorrow night and let you eat to your fill.¡± Lu Yuan immediately burst with joy. ¡°Thank you, Madam!¡± 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, ¡°What were you talking about with Lu Yuan?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I roasted some yam tonight. I¡¯ll get him to send one over.¡± Lin Qingqian walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to touch his pants. Jiang Yanshen said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯m wearing it.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯ll apply the medicine for you.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her small hand. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine after resting for a night. ¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything and only looked at him firmly. A momentter, 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 ckish-purple. Moreover¡­ his legs were cold from his knees to his feet. There was no heat. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just soak your feet? Why is it still so cold?¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because the blood isn¡¯t flowing properly. It¡¯ll recover slowly.¡± Jiang Yanshenforted her, as if he wasn¡¯t the one who had been kneeling all afternoon. ¡°I think you¡¯re addicted to being punished by Grandma to kneel. You have to kneel in the ancestral hall of the Jiang Family and my grandfather¡¯s tombstone.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s 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 second¡­ Chapter 326 - 326: It’s the Only Sweetness He Has Tasted in His Life And Will Never Forget Chapter 326: It¡¯s the Only Sweetness He Has Tasted in His Life And Will Never Forget Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian pressed down hard on his feet to stop him from moving. ¡°It¡¯s cold.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°That¡¯s why I have to warm you up,¡± Lin Qingqian replied matter-of-factly. Her eyes met his deep gaze and her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°I heard from my grandfather that in the past, whenever winter came, my mother would warm my father¡¯s feet like this.¡± Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t dissuade her and raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Huh?¡± Lin Qingqian squeezed the ointment between her fingers and carefully applied it on his knee, carefully applying it evenly. ¡°I heard from my grandfather that my father is delicate and has a cold physique. Other men are as hot as a furnace even in winter, but my father is not. On the contrary, my mother is a furnace in winter, so she kicks my father¡¯s feet into her arms every night to warm him up.¡± A glint shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes, and his thin lips moved. ¡°If they were still around, they would definitely be very loving.¡± After Lin Qingqian applied the medicine for him, she gently pulled down her pants and looked up with a smile. ¡°That¡¯s for sure. Moreover, my mother will definitely say how I found someone like my father.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Good-looking.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s smile deepened at her praise. The temperature in the tent seemed to have risen, warming the two of them. Lu Yuan stood at the door with a yam in his hand and shouted, ¡°Director Jiang, can Ie in?¡± ¡°Enter.¡± Only when Jiang Yanshen spoke did Lu Yuan dare to lift the curtain and enter. Looking at their postures, he instantly lowered his eyes. ¡°Director Jiang, Madam, roasted yam.¡± ¡°Give it to me.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to take it. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go out first.¡± Lu Yuan turned around and ran, thinking to himself, As long as I run fast enough, the dog food won¡¯t be able to catch up to me! The foil was no longer so hot. Lin Qingqian tore it open in a few moves, revealing a round yam. She could smell the fragrance even before she peeled it. ¡°I used to like roasted yam the most. You probably haven¡¯t eaten it before!¡± Lin Qingqian carefully peeled the skin of the mountain yam. The soft and sweet fragrance of the roasted yam tempted people. Jiang Yanshen was not a person who had a strong appetite, but seeing that she was so interested in rmending it to him, he cooperated and opened his mouth to take a bite. The taste was indescribable, but it was sweet from the tip of his tongue to his heart. It was as if it was the only sweetness he had tasted in his life and would never forget. Lin Qingqian fed him a yam and the meal started not long after. Lin Chaoyan gave the food to the two of them to eat in the tent while the others ate outside. Although the weather was cold, rural people were not good at anything else. They were best at manual work. They built a pavilion in the afternoon. There was a stic membrane around it to block the wind. There were a few stoves inside and a few pots on the stove, stewing different vegetables. The vigers surrounded the stove and ate and drank wine. It was lively and not cold. Jiang Yanshen could also hear the chatter andughter outside in the tent. The food in the bowl was not considered delicious. But perhaps it was because of Lin Qingqian¡¯s presence, but he felt that all of this was very beautiful. He didn¡¯t find everything so unbearable because of the harsh environment. He even thought that it wouldn¡¯t be bad if he had Qianqian to apany him even if he had to live in such a remote vige for the rest of his life. It was good to work at sunrise and rest at dawn with just the two of them. After dinner, everyone chatted and washed up to sleep. Originally, Lin Chaoyan and Lin Qingqian wanted to sleep in the same tent. In the end, because Jiang Yanshen came, she went next door to sleep with the Big Sister and gave the bed to Jiang Yanshen. As for Lu Yuan¡­ he was naturally sleeping in the car. It was New Year¡¯s Eve. Although the snow hadn¡¯t melted, the bright sun had appeared early in the morning, and the temperature seemed to have returned a little. Early in the morning, the vigers got up and got busy. Jiang Yanshen woke up very early because of his light sleep. Lin Qingqian was also woken up and got up to help him get some water to wash his face. When they were done washing up, Lu Yuan was still asleep in the car. Lin Qingqian knocked on the car window. Lu Yuan woke up and lowered the car window. He narrowed his eyes and said, ¡°Madam, morning¡­¡± He even yawned after sleeping. His eyes were filled with tears, and it looked like he had not slept well. ¡°Get up and wash up. We¡¯ll have breakfastter.¡± Lu Yuan nodded. ¡°Alright, thank you Mada¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, he fell asleep on the steering wheel again. Lin Qingqian: How sleepy was this child? During breakfast, Lin Qingqian said apologetically, ¡°Today is New Year¡¯s Eve. I¡¯m really sorry for implicating you and preventing you from going back to apany your family.¡± Lu Yuan took a big mouthful of yam porridge and picked up the pickled vegetables that Lin Chaoyan had personally marinated. He said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s fine, Madam. I don¡¯t have any rtives either. My mother is the only one. She¡¯s even busier than me every day. Even if I don¡¯t apany her for the new year, she can still find a group of sisters to y with.¡± His mother fell seriously ill. After being discharged from the hospital, she was sent to a nursing home because Lu Yuan was too busy with work to take care of her. There were some rich olddies and old men there. Those who were rich and had time were bored because their children were busy with work and were not free. They usually yed together and celebrated the new year and festivals together. They could no longer be bothered with those children who were busy earning money. They just had to transfer money regrly every month. Although he said that, Lin Qingqian was still a little embarrassed. Which parent didn¡¯t want their children by their side? Jiang Yanshen said calmly, ¡°The bonus for this month will be increased by five times. ¡± Five times!! Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes immediately widened as he stood up and bowed excitedly. ¡°Thank you, Director Jiang!¡± Before he could straighten his back, the sudden shout made the atmosphere awkward. Lin Qingqian: ¡® Lin Chaoyan: Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Lu Yuan: . ¡®I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m dead.¡¯ ¡°Boop!¡± Another long and embarrassing sound rang out. Lin Qingqian bit her lips, holding it in very hard. Lu Yuan¡¯s entire face turned red, and his voice trembled. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± ¡°¡ªchi.¡± Lu Yuan: . Heavens, kill me! The veins on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s forehead twitched. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, your sry will be deducted by five times this month!¡± Five times deduction!! That was not a deduction, but a debt!! ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯m leaving now¡­ I¡¯m leaving¡­¡± Lu Yuan was about to cry. Before he left, he did not forget to pick up some pickled vegetables and run with the bowl. Lin Qingqian and Lin Chaoyan looked at each other and couldn¡¯t help butugh. Lin Chaoyan couldn¡¯t help but scold, ¡°This silly boy¡­¡± The 30 families were all busy preparing for New Year¡¯s Eve dinner and putting up couplets and blessings. Lin Chaoyan was busy preparing for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner in the afternoon, while Lin Qingqian cleaned the house inside and out and pasted the couplets. Jiang Yanshen helped her paste the couplets. Seeing that she was pasting the word ¡°fortune¡± upside down, he asked curiously, ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even know this?¡± Lin Qingqian was surprised. He was really an idiot withoutmon sense. Jiang Yanshen shook his head. In the past, the Jiang Family had also pasted couplets on their doors during the new year, but it was all done by the servants. He had never cared or paid attention to it. ¡°Pasting it inverted means that fortune wille, do you understand?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him with sparkling eyes. He was so smart that he should be able to understand at a nce. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze moved between the word ¡®fortune¡¯ and her, and his thin lips curled into a smile. ¡°I see.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°This is a custom. It¡¯s been like this since ancient times.¡± After pasting the word ¡®fortune¡¯ on it, she thought of something and took out a coin from her pocket and handed it to him. ¡°Here, this is for you.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked down at the coin in her palm, his eyes filled with confusion. ¡°You forgot? This is the lucky coin you gave mest year!¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the lucky coin, a warm smile flowing in her eyes. ¡°I seem to be quite lucky ever since I had this lucky coin.¡± Her work and rtionships were smooth. It was as if her journey had be very smooth and she had no worries. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll return this good luck to you.¡± Lin Qingqian ced the coin in his palm. ¡°Keep it well. I risked my life to get it out of the bed when the earthquake happened.¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard that she was still caring about a coin during the earthquake, he knocked her head with his finger and warned, ¡°Don¡¯t do such a dangerous thing again.¡± Lin Qingqian touched the ce he had knocked on and chuckled. ¡°Alright, I understand. Hurry up and help me stick the couplets on the door. We still have to help Auntie pick vegetablester.¡± Jiang Yanshen clenched the coin in his palm for a second before putting it back into his pocket and walking to her to help. Although there was the earthquake and a hidden danger of the virus, it did not affect everyone¡¯s joy over the new year. Every family was busy inside and out. It was even more so for Yan Sui¡¯s family in Lan City. Because Yan Sui was pregnant this year, Mother Yan did not let her do anything. She held her husband¡¯s ear and instructed him. As she asked Father Yan to work, she even scolded him for being a toothpaste. She had to squeeze him for everything before he could do anything. Father Yan felt bitter. Didn¡¯t he do exactly as she said? How could it be his fault? However, in their decades of marriage, he had also summarized a very precious experience¡ªhis wife was always right. His wife could not be wrong. Suisui sat on the sofa and ate the snacks that Mother Yan had prepared for her while ying with her phone. She was fighting with the anti-fans online and chatting with her friends. The doorbell suddenly rang. Suisui was about to open the door when Father Yan, who was wiping the ss, hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t move. I¡¯ll go, I¡¯ll go!¡± Suisui, whose butt had yet to leave the sofa, slumped back down. Previously, she had to be scolded every day for not doing anything. This was the first time she felt that she did not have to do anything. She suddenly felt that the benefits of being pregnant were still huge. Father Yan opened the door and was dumbfounded to see Lu Ting, Lu Qinshang, and an unfamiliar woman standing at the door. What was going on? Lu Ting smiled kindly. ¡°Inws, sorry to disturb you. Isn¡¯t this the new year? I specially brought Qinshang to deliver new year goods to you to wish you a happy new year.¡± Father Yan: ¡® Wasn¡¯t the new year visitations supposed to be on the first day of the new year? Which family would perform their New Year greetings on the eve of the New Year?! Although that was what heined in his heart, they were still guests at the door. Father Yan still invited them in warmly. When Suisui heard Lu Ting¡¯s voice, she stood up and walked over. When she saw Lu Ting and Lu Qinshang, she called out sweetly. Then, she saw an unfamiliar woman and assumed the same dumbfounded expression as Father Yan. What was going on?! Lu Ting was about to introduce her when a smile appeared on the face of a woman in a mink coat and a small leather dress with long boots that revealed her legs. She introduced herself sweetly. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Yin Ning, Qinshang¡¯s stepmom.¡± Her gazended on Suisui¡¯s face and she immediately smiled. ¡°This is Suisui, right? She¡¯s so cute and is reallypatible with Qinshang.. Don¡¯t you think so, Old Lu?¡± Chapter 327 - 327: Looks Like You Really Like Me Very Much! Chapter 327 - 327: Looks Like You Really Like Me Very Much! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Ting coughed lightly. Yin Ning reacted and immediately lowered her eyes and stopped talking. Lu Ting looked at Father Yan and apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ning¡¯er was rude.¡± Originally, he did not want to bring Yin Ning over, but Yin Ning¡¯s family thought that since they had registered their marriage, there was no reason for her to return to her family for the new year. He could not leave her alone at home, so he could only bring her over.
Father Yan said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s fine. Please sit.¡± He called for them to sit down. When Mother Yan, who was in the kitchen, heard the sound, she had already brewed a pot of tea and brought it out. Seeing Yin Ning, she did not say much. After all, she was Mrs. Lu. When Yin Ning heard the sound of a smoker in the kitchen, she said enthusiastically, ¡°Inw, are you cooking?¡± Mother Yan nodded and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s time for the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner soon.¡± When Lu Ting heard this, he immediately looked apologetic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. We came at the wrong time and interrupted your reunion dinner. We¡¯ll go back first.¡± Father Yan stood up and pulled them back. He said generously, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Did you book a hotel for your reunion dinner?¡± Lu Ting nodded. ¡°The servants are all on vacation, so we can only book a hotel. However, there are too many people, so we can only book it for tonight.¡± Father and Mother Yan looked at each other and asked, ¡°Then what are you going to do at noon?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. How can a few living people starve to death?¡± Lu Ting said naturally, ¡°We¡¯ll eat whatever we can find. It¡¯s fine even if we don¡¯t eat.¡± Yin Ning smiled cooperatively and said, ¡°Yes, yes. I¡¯m on a diet. It doesn¡¯t matter if I miss one meal.¡± When Suisui heard this, she immediately turned to look at her Big Brother, who was standing beside her without saying a word, her eyes filled with sympathy. Big Brother didn¡¯t even have food to eat! Such a miserable life! Lu Qinshang braced himself and caught Suisui¡¯s sympathetic gaze. He nced at Lu Ting from the corner of his eye and quietly watched his father¡¯s performance! ¡°How can that do!¡± Father Yan hesitated and said carefully, ¡®Why don¡¯t you eat with us for lunch?¡± Lu Ting waved his hand. ¡°How can that do? It¡¯s too troublesome for you. No¡­¡± Yin Ning supported him professionally. ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right¡­¡± Father Yan looked at Mother Yan and asked if he should invite them again. Mother Yan nced at her daughter and maintained a smile. ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome. There¡¯s a lot of food prepared for our New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. Don¡¯t despise my culinary skills. Stay and eat a few mouthfuls.¡± Lu Ting said in embarrassment, ¡°Inw, you must be joking. Even a five-star chef can¡¯tpare to your cooking.¡± After a pause, she looked at Yin Ning and then at Father Yan. ¡°Why don¡¯t we eat together at noon and go to the hotel to eat at night? In any case, I booked arge private room. It¡¯s a waste if the three of us can¡¯t finish it. Isn¡¯t there a custom about not wasting food on New Year¡¯s?¡± ¡°This¡­¡± Father Yan did not dare to make a decision casually and looked at Mother Yan. Mother Yan nodded. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say!¡± ¡°Suisui, take care of Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and Qinshang.¡± Mother Yan reminded Suisui, ¡°I¡¯ll go back to the kitchen to work first.¡± Yin Ning said perceptively, ¡°Let me help you.¡± ¡°No need. The clothes you¡¯re wearing are so beautiful. They must be very expensive. It¡¯ll be a pity if they get dirty.¡± Mother Yan rejected politely. ¡°It¡¯s not expensive. They¡¯re all imitation goods¡­ This fur scarf is worthless!¡± Yin Ning rolled up her sleeves and said very sincerely. She was too enthusiastic and Mother Yan could not refuse. She said embarrassedly, ¡°Alright, alright.¡± Yin Ning held her arm and walked to the kitchen. As she walked, she said, ¡°My culinary skills are not good, but I can still pick and wash vegetables. Don¡¯t worry, leave it to me.¡± Before leaving, Old Lu had warned her that if she did not perform well, she could forget about going to the Paris fashion show in spring. She had to perform well in front of her inws and let them know that she, this stepmother, was not a difficult person at all and they could marry their daughter over without worry. The two women were cooking. Now that Lu Ting was here, Father Yan could not continue wiping the windows. He said dryly, ¡°Mr. Lu, have some tea.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll be family in the future. If you don¡¯t mind, call me Brother Lu!¡± Lu Ting was in the business world, so he naturally knew how to interact better than Father Yan. Father Yan nodded. ¡°Sure, Brother Lu.¡± Lu Ting replied happily, ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Little Brother Yan. Since you have nothing to do, why don¡¯t we y chess?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Father Yan stood up and said, ¡°I¡¯ll go get the chessboard.¡± ¡°What chessboard? Don¡¯t we have one?¡± Lu Ting saw the chessboard he had given themst time under the coffee table. Father Yan hesitated for a moment. ¡°Let¡¯s use what I had before. This is too expensive.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that expensive.¡± Lu Ting took the initiative to take it out. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a chessboard? We¡¯re already so old, and our children have grown up. Shouldn¡¯t we enjoy life a little?¡± Father Yan was moved by his words. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll use this.¡± Seeing that he had agreed, Lu Ting opened it¡­ Suisui stood at the side and scratched the back of her head. She said hesitantly, ¡°Father, Uncle Lu, you guys y. I¡¯ll bring Big Brother back to the room to sit for a while.¡± Father Yan was a chess fan. At this moment, how could he care that his daughter wanted to be in the same room as another man? He waved his hand to signal her to go. Lu Ting gave Lu Qinshang a look. He could not waste such a good opportunity he had created for him. Getting someone¡¯s daughter pregnant was something that already disgusts the girl¡¯s parents. Now that they were not married yet, they naturally had to pull back their favorability before marriage. If he missed such a good girl, he was afraid that this silly boy would never meet someone like this again. Lu Qinshang lowered his eyes, as if he did not see his gaze and thought that he was worrying for nothing. Didn¡¯t he know how much the youngdy liked him? Was there a need to make the youngdy happy again? Suisui held Lu Qinshang¡¯s hand happily. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯ll bring you to my room to y.¡± Lu Qinshang nodded and followed her to the room. Suisui¡¯s room waspletely decorated like a typical girl¡¯s room. There was an apricot-colored wallpaper and a few dolls ced on the bay window. The bedsheets were light pink with whitece. There were stickers still stuck to the white bookshelf, and there was a poster of him on its back. On her desk was his humanoid figurine. It was obvious how much she liked him. ¡°Looks like you really like me!¡± Lu Qinshang walked to the desk and sat down on a chair. He did not sit on her bed and poked his figurine. Suisui revealed an embarrassed smile. She thought of something and said, ¡°Big Brother, wait.¡± With that, she turned around and ran out of the room. Lu Qinshang frowned. ¡°Slow down¡­¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Suisui ran into the kitchen in a hurry and took out a cup from the cab and a mango from the fridge. The kitchen was small to begin with, and it was barely enough for two people to stand in. When she entered, it looked even more crowded. Mother Yan said in disdain, ¡°What are you doing? Get out quickly, get out¡­¡± ¡°No, I want to make fruit juice for Big Brother to drink.¡± Yan Sui picked up the Imife and wanted to peel the mango. When Yin Ning saw this, she immediately took away her fruit knife. ¡°Silly child, pregnant women can¡¯t touch these things. It¡¯s not auspicious. I¡¯ll help you.¡± Suisui nodded. Looking at her beautiful crystal nails holding a fruit knife, she was a little worried if she knew how to do it ¡°Don¡¯t think that my nails are beautiful but useless. I know how to do some work.¡± With that, Yin Ning deftly peeled the mango. Suisui was slightly surprised. ¡°You¡¯re so powerful.¡± Yin Ning smiled. ¡°In the past, my family sold fruits.¡± She cut the peeled mango into pieces and ced them on a te before handing them to her. ¡°Take them.¡± Suisui thanked her and continued to squeeze the mango juice. It was done in a short while. The mango was just enough for a cup. Yin Ning took the juicer and said, ¡°Go, I¡¯ll wash it.¡± Suisui thanked her again and ran out with the cup. Yin Ning chuckled. ¡°She¡¯s so good to Qinshang.¡± Mother Yan said helplessly, ¡°I¡¯ve spoiled her too much. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself in front of you.¡± ¡°Big Sister, you¡¯re thinking too much. Who wouldn¡¯t like a cute girl like Suisui? Yin Ning praised. Mother Yan smiled and didn¡¯t reply. Suisui walked into the room with the mango juice. ¡°Big Brother, have some juice.¡± Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows. ¡°After all this time, you ran out just to squeeze fruit juice for me?¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Doesn¡¯t Big Brother like to drink fresh fruit juice the most? My father bought the mango this morning. It¡¯s definitely fresh!¡± ¡°By the way, there¡¯s also¡­¡± She thought of something and turned to run out. Lu Qinshang picked up the cup and took a sip of fresh fruit juice. It was sweet. Suisui walked in with a box and said mysteriously, ¡°Guess what it is?¡± ¡°What?¡± Lu Qinshang asked. Suisui walked to the table and put down the box. Then, she slowly opened the box and said happily, ¡°Dang dang dang¡­ It¡¯s your favorite biscuits. I had to work very hard to get them from a shop assistant.¡± This brand was very famous overseas and very difficult to buy. Lu Qinshang looked at the neatly arranged biscuits in the exquisite packaging box. His throat tightened, and his voice was a little different. ¡°You specially bought this for me?¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right! I originally nned to give it to you as a birthday gift after the new year.¡± ¡°Are you stupid?¡± Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched her little face. ¡°If I want to eat biscuits, I can just get someone from the Lu Corporation¡¯s overseas market to send them to me. Do I need you to spend so much effort to buy them?¡± Suisui finally reacted. ¡°That¡¯s right! But I¡¯ve already bought it. Try it!¡± She solicitously and obsequiously took out the biscuits, tore open the packaging, and fed it to him. ¡°But I¡¯m still very happy. Thank you.¡± Lu Qinshang let go of his fingers and opened his mouth to take a bite of the biscuit. ¡°You¡¯re wee. As long as you¡¯re happy.¡± Suisui looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes and said expectantly, ¡°Is it really delicious?¡± This small box of biscuits cost 2,000 yuan. It was so expensive that her heart ached. After receiving it, she could not even bear to take a bite. Lu Qinshang looked at her. ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten it before?¡± Suisui shook her head and asked, ¡°Does it taste the same as what you used to eat?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s good that it¡¯s the same.¡± The 2,000 yuan didn¡¯t go to waste! ¡°Do you want to try it?¡± Lu Qinshang asked her. Suisui nced at the remaining 19 biscuits from the corner of her eye and nodded. Lu Qinshang picked up a biscuit and tore open the package. His throat bobbed a few times as he said in a low voice, ¡°My shoulder has been a little sore these past few days. Bend over¡­¡± Suisui immediately bent down obediently and said worriedly, ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s wrong with your shoulder? I¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang raised his head and pressed his lips against hers.. Chapter 328 - 328: Untitled Chapter 328 - 328: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened, filled with disbelief. The warm and soft touch on her lips made her entire body go numb, and her mind went nk. Big Brother kissed her? Realizing that her face was burning, she stood up straight, blinked, turned around, and ran. Lu Qinshang was stunned. Seeing that she was going to run into the door, he quickly stood up and strode forward to grab her slender arm to pull her back.
Suisui turned around and bumped into his arms again. This collision was very solid. Lu Qinshang almost vomited blood. He looked down at the little girl in his arms and was puzzled. ¡°Why are you running?¡± Suisui¡¯s face was red, and her heart was racing. She looked up at him and quickly lowered her head. She pursed her lips and said, ¡°You, why did you kiss This question stunned Lu Qinshang. There was an unnatural look on his handsome features. He licked his lips that seemed to have her warmth and said in a dry voice, ¡°This¡­ this is because you¡¯re too cute. I couldn¡¯t help it.¡± Ever since that day, they had not had much intimate contact. Usually, they would at most hold hands and not even hug. Now that he had suddenly kissed her, Suisui was naturally frightened. ¡°You¡­ don¡¯t like me kissing you?¡± Lu Qinshang lowered his head and asked, his eyes filled with nervousness. ¡°Of course not.¡± Suisui blurted out a denial. She looked up and met his smiling phoenix eyes. She smiled shyly. ¡°Aren¡¯t I a qualified Mommy fan? I feel that something is wrong when I¡¯m suddenly kissed by my child.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s face darkened. He bent his fingers and knocked her head. ¡°Dig these three words out of your head! You can¡¯t give birth to a son my age!¡± Suisui pouted and said, ¡°I¡¯m working hard. You have to give me some time.¡± Lu Qinshang pulled her to the bed and let her sit on it. He pulled over a swivel chair and sat down. He brought the opened biscuit to her mouth. ¡°Open your mouth.¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Suisui ate the biscuit and looked at him with joy and shyness. Who would have thought that Big Brother would really feed her biscuits one day? This was something she did not even dare to dream about! Lu Qinshang: ¡°Don¡¯t buy things for me in the future. Someone will buy whatever I want to eat.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different,¡± Suisui pouted and said softly. ¡°Different how?¡± Suisui looked up at him and said happily, ¡°I bought it for you myself. It costs mv srv. The meaninz is different.¡± Spending her own money on the things she liked was of course a different meaning. Lu Qinshang was slightly stunned and his heart instantly softened. His warm palmnded on her little head as if he was rewarding her. ¡°That makes sense. Looks like the sry Sister-inw gave you is not low!¡± ¡°Then my makeup skills must be good enough!¡± In terms of professionalism, she could not hide the pride in her tone. Lu Qinshang knew her makeup skills. Although she could notpare to the famous makeup artists known internationally, she was already one of the best in the industry. ¡°That¡¯s true. How can my, Lu Qinshang¡¯s, Maple Leaves be without some talent!¡± Suisui was very proud that she was a Maple Leaf. Maple Leaves had members consisting of elites in all walks of life. In order not to embarrass her Big Brother, she was conscientious and strict in her work. ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lu Qinshang leanedzily against the chair and looked at her with unprecedented relief and joy. ¡°Look, I¡¯ve already given you a new year gift. Shouldn¡¯t you give me a gift in return?¡± Suisui asked carefully. Lu Qinshang felt that what she said made sense, but he didn¡¯t know what she liked. ¡°What gift do you want?¡± Suisui intertwined her hands and said in a low voice, ¡°Big Brother, you haven¡¯t worked in a long time. Do you think you can post a selfie?¡± Her almond-shaped eyes peered at him carefully, afraid that he would not agree. Lu Qinshang¡¯s thick eyshes fluttered as he looked at her quietly. The smile on Suisui¡¯s lips froze. ¡°You can¡¯t?¡± Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t answer. Instead, he asked, ¡°The gift you want is for me to post selfies?¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°Aren¡¯t I in front of you? Isn¡¯t it good to look at the real thing? Why do you have to look at selfies?¡± Wasn¡¯t he handsome enough in real life? Suisui blinked. ¡°Of course I¡¯m very happy to see the real person, but there are still many Maple Leafs that haven¡¯t seen Big Brother¡¯s selfies in a long time.¡± During this period of time, Lu Qinshang had been very busy. Other than the studio distributing work photos, his personal Weibo ount had not been updated for a long time. The Maple Leaves were saying that if he did not update it soon, the grass on their graves would be as tall as a person next year. Lu Qinshang¡¯s throat tightened, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying anything. Suisui thought that he was unwilling and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to post it. I was just saying¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang threw the phone to her. ¡°I haven¡¯t taken a selfie recently. Take a photo for me!¡± Suisui caught his phone and her almond-shaped eyes widened. ¡°I¡¯ll take the photo? In my room?¡± Lu Qinshang nodded. ¡°Where else do you want to take it?¡± Suisui shook her head and said seriously, ¡°You can¡¯t take it in my room. The Maple Leaves will see through it!¡± ¡°See through what?¡± Lu Qinshang did not understand. ¡°The signs of a rtionship!¡± Seeing that he did not understand, Suisui exined patiently, ¡°Look at the wallpaper in my room, the pink pen holder on the desk, the crystal ball¡­ This is clearly a girl¡¯s room.¡± ¡°You¡¯re a single child and don¡¯t have a sister. Why would you appear in a girl¡¯s room? There¡¯s only one truth¡ªyou¡¯re in a rtionship!¡± Lu Qinshang narrowed his phoenix eyes and looked at her little head. He usually did not think that she was very smart, but why did she seem especially bright when this was mentioned? ¡°Tell me honestly, every time I send a photo, do you look at it with a microscope?¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± Suisui hesitated for a few seconds and shook her head. ¡°No, definitely not. We¡¯re all mature Maple Leaves. We definitely won¡¯t object to Big Brother dating. We¡¯re¡­¡± She paused. ¡°What?¡± Lu Qinshang tiptoed on the floor and slid the swivel chair in front of her. He ced his hands on both sides of her body, looking like he was interrogating her. Suisui scratched her ears and smiled in embarrassment. ¡°We¡¯re just afraid that you¡¯ll be mesmerized by the fancy girls in the entertainment industry.¡± In the hearts of every fan, their idol was the purest and most beautiful existence in the world. All the female celebrities who wanted to be with their idol were their enemies. Lu Qinshang¡¯s thin lips curled up as he leaned back against the chair again. He looked at her with his phoenix-like eyes and said seriously, ¡°Ever since I debuted, other than filming, I haven¡¯t had any intimate rtionships with any female celebrities. I haven¡¯t flirted with any female celebrities. I didn¡¯t have a date or bedded my fans¡­¡± When she heard the words ¡°bedded my fans¡±, Suisui¡¯s mouth twitched. She was about to ask if she didn¡¯t count. His manly low voice sounded in her ears.. ¡°Other than you!¡± Chapter 329 - 329: Jiang Yanshen ‘s New Year Wish Chapter 329: Jiang Yanshen ¡®s New Year Wish Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions What does ¡®other than me¡¯ mean? Bedding fans? Other than¡­ me? Suisui¡¯s ears suddenly began to fill with blood. Why was this topic bing more and more open? Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if they guess it. Although we¡¯re not in a rtionship, we won¡¯t be able to hide it when you have a child and we hold a wedding.¡± There was nothing wrong with releasing some news in advance to let the fans be mentally prepared. Suisui was a little hesitant. ¡°But love scandals and marriage will affect Big Brother¡¯s career. What if the endorsements ask you forpensation?¡± Lu Qinshang could not help butugh. ¡°Can you have some self-awareness as a girl?¡± ¡°Hung¡± sne man?t nave tne sell-awareness or a girlf ¡°You¡¯re the future Mrs. Lu. You have to act like Mrs. Lu!¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s tone was serious. ¡°I can afford that little breach of contract fee. Even if I can¡¯t afford it, there¡¯s still President Lu. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Suisui nodded. ¡°But if it¡¯s possible not to expose it, it¡¯s better. Why let those advertisers off so easily! Keep it to buy milk powder for the little brat!¡± Lu Qinshang: She was really going to defeat him! ¡°You¡¯re already so worried before marrying me!¡± He pinched her little face with his fingertips and said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Lu has already prepared the money for the little brat¡¯s milk powder. It won¡¯t be a problem for him to drink it until he¡¯s old.¡± Suisui took his hand away and rubbed her little face. She puffed up her cheeks and said, ¡°Big Brother, how can you say that so self-righteously?¡± The child was theirs. They should raise it themselves! Lu Qinshang smiled. ¡°The old man is rich. Besides¡­¡± He paused and deliberately nced at the door mysteriously. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°If you don¡¯t let him buy milk powder for the little brat, my stepmom will take the money to buy branded bags, jewelry, and shoes.¡± What was so good about designer bags and jewelry? Other than looking good, they were useless. ¡°Then let¡¯s buy milk powder for the little brat.¡± Lu Qinshang rubbed her little head in satisfaction and praised, ¡°That¡¯s more like it! You have to remember that in the future, the old man will buy everything for the little brat. Otherwise, all the money will be wasted on my stepmom.¡± Suisui nodded obediently. ¡°I¡¯ll remember!¡± Compared to buying a bag, raising a child was the most important thing!!! Mother Yan dexterously prepared arge table of dishes. Before dinner, they followed the rules and went down to set off firecrackers. Father Yan carried the firecrackers down, and Suisui subconsciously wanted to follow him to join in the fun. Yin Ning pulled her back and said kindly, ¡°You¡¯re pregnant now. You can¡¯t breathe in the smoke of firecrackers. Watch from the window.¡± Suisui nodded and looked at Lu Qinshang pitifully. Lu Qinshang and Yin Ning¡¯s rtionship was not good, but it was not bad either. Moreover, Yin Ning¡¯s words made sense. It was for the good of Suisui and the child. ¡°I can¡¯t go down there. I¡¯ll be recognized.¡± When Suisui heard him say this, she immediately couldn¡¯t continue arguing. ¡°Big Brother, I won¡¯t go down too. I¡¯ll watch at home with you.¡± Lu Qinshang revealed a satisfied smile and rubbed her head. ¡°Good girl!¡± Father Yan saw this scene and felt sour in his heart. His precious daughter had been kidnapped by another man just like that. Lu Ting put his arm around his shoulder and said, ¡°Brother, I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Only then did the disappointment in Father Yan¡¯s heart disappear a little. He chuckled and went down with Lu Ting to set off the firecrackers. When he met the neighbors who asked, he openly admitted that they were future inws. The neighbor saw that Lu Ting looked familiar and didn¡¯t recognize him for a moment. He took out a cigarette and greeted him before returning home for New Year¡¯s Eve dinner. At the same time, he scolded his daughter. ¡°Look at Old Yan¡¯s family. Suisui is getting married and she¡¯s even younger than you, but you don¡¯t even have a partner. You¡¯vepletely embarrassed me.¡± Her daughter took out her phone indifferently and showed them her screen saver. ¡°Who said I don¡¯t have a partner! My partner is Ren Guangxi!!!¡± Her daughter snorted. ¡°The person opposite even likes Lu Qinshang and said that she wants to sleep with him! If you have the ability, ask her to bring Lu Qinshang back too!¡± Yan Sui, who was next door, smiled. I really brought him back!!! After setting off the firecrackers, they went upstairs to eat. The family¡¯s New Year¡¯s Eve dinner which was cold and boring in the past years was suddenly filled to the brim with food and people. It was lively and warm. Father Yan and Lu Ting hugged each other and drank. Yin Ning and Mother Yan drank some red wine while Suisui hugged the warm milk and ate silently. As Lu Qinshang took care of Suisui, he toasted his future inws¡­ In the afternoon, Mother Yan and Yin Ning made dumplings. The rest went to the living room to watch television and y cards. Suisui was lucky and won a lot of money. Lu Qinshang looked at her happy expression and then at Lu Ting, who was silently letting her win. He thought to himself that it was really good to marry a silly wife. Father Yan was not stupid. How could he not see that something was wrong? He originally had some concerns, but at this moment, they were dispelled. From the looks of it, this Lu Family was not as terrifying as the legendary wealthy families! The New Year¡¯s Eve dinner in Yu Mountain was normally eatenter. Because of the earthquake, the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner was brought forward this year so that they could wash up early to prevent it from being unsafe in the house at night. Lin Chaoyan made a table full of her signature dishes. She knew that Jiang Yanshen could not eat spicy food, so she specially made a few light dishes. Lin Qingqian arranged the bowls and chopsticks and pulled Jiang Yanshen to sit down. Seeing that Lu Yuan was still standing at the side, Lin Chaoyan called out to him, ¡°Come and sit down.¡± Lu Yuan stood still and looked at Jiang Yanshen¡­ ¡°If I tell you to sit, sit. Why are you looking at him!¡± Lin Chaoyan grabbed his arm impatiently and said, ¡°This is my house. You have to listen to me.¡± Lu Yuan sat down carefully and said gratefully, ¡°Thank you, Madam Lin.¡± Lin Chaoyan was about to go get the wine when Jiang Yanshen said gently, ¡°Auntie, it¡¯s better not to drink. I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll cause trouble if I drink too much.¡± Lin Chaoyan thought about it and agreed. If the earthquake came, they would not be able to escape if they were drunk. Hence, they each had a can of milk. Lu Yuan ¡® Although there were only four of them, it was quite interesting to eat and chat with a table full of food. Especially since Lu Yuan had never sat with such arge table of dishes on New Year¡¯s eve since he was young. He wished he could have a few more stomachs. He was eating so happily that he didn¡¯t even notice Jiang Yanshen¡¯s warning gaze. When Lin Chaoyan saw that someone was so supportive, she was naturally happy and picked up more food and soup for him. Lin Qingqian said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s rare for someone to support Auntie like this. It¡¯s good to make Auntie happy.¡± When Jiang Yanshen heard her say this, he let Lu Yuan be. So what if it was embarrassing! He had already lost face once, so he did not care if he lost it again. He would let others know that he had brought a good-for-nothing over. After the New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, Lu Yuan helped Lin Chaoyan clean up. Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian called the olddy in Jiang City. Jiang Yunshen and the chauffeur had also returned to Jiang City. They were relieved to know that they were fine. After the sky darkened, the vige began to let out fireworks. Not only this vige, but the nearby viges also let out fireworks one after another. Colorful light illuminated the night, blooming happily in the air in the most dazzling and beautiful manner. Although it was only for a moment, it could make people remember the beauty of this second forever. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen stood outside and watched the fireworks. The corners of their lips were lit up by the fireworks, and the dazzling fireworks seemed to bloom in their eyes. ¡°Do you have any wishes for the new year?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him and asked curiously. Jiang Yanshen did not answer and asked, ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I hope that my personal brand will be better and better, go international, and promote our art culture!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were clear as she said seriously, ¡°I hope that everyone around me will be safe and sound.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no me?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly, a little jealous that she didn¡¯t have him in her wish. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and smiled. She tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder. ¡°Of course there¡¯s you. I hope we can continue to be happy.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair. ¡°Definitely.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°Ah Yan, let me tell you a secret.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± His dark eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation. Lin Qingqian lowered her voice mysteriously and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t washed my hair in four days.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡® When Lin Qingqian saw his aggrieved and helpless appearance, she burst outughing. Jiang Yanshen pinched her cheek with his well-defined fingers. ¡°You¡¯re getting naughtier. ¡± Lin Qingqian had a smile on her face. A child ran over from afar with a sparkler in his hand. He had specially sent it to her. When she returned, she had brought arge bag of candy. These few days, she had distributed it to the children in the vige. Now, they were giving her a sparkler in return. Lin Qingqian did not stand on ceremony and epted it generously. ¡°Let¡¯s light it together!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± The child¡¯s soft voice agreed. Lin Qingqian turned to look at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Do you want toe along? Jiang Yanshen shook his head. ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave!¡± Just as Lin Qingqian finished speaking, she was pulled away by the little kid. Jiang Yanshen ced his hands in his pockets and looked at her back. His ck eyes were shining, and his heart was filled with something. Lin Qingqian was setting off fireworks with a few children not far away. The silver light illuminated the side of her face, and her and the children¡¯s bell-likeughter came from the cold wind, like the most moving voice in the world. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was barely audible. ¡°Qianqian, my new year wish is to give you a child and apany you until you grow old.¡± This Spring Festival was filled with surprises and joys. Although the conditions were a little harsh, the memories were very beautiful. There was news from town on the third day of the new year. Previously, the hospital had said that the samples collected from the cases of virus infection were sent to a professional institution. After testing, it was confirmed that it was not a virus infection. It looked verv simr but was not infectious. It was a close call. As soon as the news came, all the viges in the entire Yu Mountain were released. Everyone happily went to visit their rtives and friends. There were no aftershocks in the past few days. The detection results from the Earthquake Bureau showed that there were no signs of earthquakes for now. However, for the sake of safety, everyone still slept in the tent, nning to wait until after the Spring Festival. Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen stayed in Yu Mountain for two more days before finally embarking on the journey back to Lan City. Before Jiang Yanshen left, he also promised Lin Chaoyan that he would hold a wedding with Qianqian when spring came and the flowers bloomed. He would inform her when the exact time was fixed and send someone to pick her up in advance. At 30,000 feet in the sky, Lin Qingqian looked at the cotton candy-like clouds outside the window and couldn¡¯t help but smile. Jiang Yanshen pulled her hand.. ¡°What are you smiling about?¡± Chapter 330 - 330: I’m Sorry for Being Selfish Because I Love You Too Much Chapter 330: I¡¯m Sorry for Being Selfish Because I Love You Too Much Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and turned to look at him. Her curled eyshes trembled as she said softly, ¡°This Spring Festival has really made me feel something.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and waited patiently for her to continue. ¡°The fact that I really feel that you love me.¡± The corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes were filled with smiles. Even if Jiang Yanshen treated her very well and she couldn¡¯t find any ws, for some reason, she couldn¡¯t help but feel uneasy and unreal. However, this Spring Festival, he ignored the earthquake and the virus infection and abandoned everything toe to her side. The uneasy and unreal feeling in his heartpletely disappeared. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick eyshes lowered for a second. He grabbed her hand and kissed it. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Yes, I love you, my Madam Jiang.¡± Madam Jiang, I love you very much. Because I love you too much, I¡¯m selfish. I¡¯m sorry. After more than two hours of flying, the nended steadily at Lan City International Airport. Jiang Yanshen held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and walked out. He saw Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici waiting at the exit. ¡°Why are you guys here?¡± Lin Qingqian was a little surprised and asked with a smile. Gu Xici¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them. ¡°You didn¡¯t even inform us when such a huge thing happened. You scared us out of our wits.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Lu Qinshang echoed andined, ¡°Do you know how anxious Suisui was when she saw that there was no news from you and we couldn¡¯t reach you? Fortunately, Ah Ci has some connections and found out that you¡¯re fine.¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t want to either. Ourmunication was cut off in the beginning. We couldn¡¯t even answer the call of the heavens or the earth, ¡± Lin Qingqian said helplessly. Lu Qinshang was about to say something when Gu Xici beat him to it. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s good that you came back safely. Let¡¯s go eat first. I specially prepared something for the two of you.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Lu Qinshang thought of something. ¡°Suisui is still waiting at the restaurant. She specially prepared grapefruit water for you to get rid of your bad luck.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Jiang Yanshen: ¡® Lu Yuan ran very quickly. He helped them send their luggage back to Begonia Courtyard so that they would be able to go home, take a shower, and sleep immediately. Before the two of them could go home, they were pulled to the restaurant in Gu Xici¡¯s car. It was inevitable that they would be lectured by Suisui again. Fortunately, Gu Xici understood their hard work and took the initiative to send them home after dinner. Otherwise, with Lu Qinshang and Suisui, the two chatterboxes, he didn¡¯t know when they would stop talking. Most importantly, he did not want to be stabbed in the heart by the sight of the intimate actions of the two couples. The two of them had been quite tired thest few days in Yu Mountain. Even when they slept at night, they were tense, afraid that an earthquake would happen at any time. They could finally take a shower and sleep tonight. The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up very early. It was rare for Jiang Yanshen to sleep more deeply than her. She carefully got out of bed and covered her mouth to yawn as she walked to the bathroom¡­ She slipped and fell to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. Jiang Yanshen was woken up by her shout. He hurriedly got off the bed and didn¡¯t even have time to put on his slippers. He hurriedly walked to the bathroom door. ¡®Qianqian¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian was sitting on the ground, her face pale from the pain. ¡°How did you fall?¡± Jiang Yanshen carried her up with heartache and turned to return to the bedroom. He set her down very lightly, but Lin Qingqian still bit her lip in pain. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was expressionless, but his heart ached. ¡°How did you fall? Is it because you just woke up?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head aggrievedly. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I just slipped. There seems to be water.¡± Water? Jiang Yanshen frowned and turned to walk to the washroom. He saw that there was indeed a pool of water in front of the carpet at the door. He bent down and dipped his fingertips in the water. It felt a little slippery, and the color was a faint yellow. It couldn¡¯t bepletely water. His dark eyes narrowed, and a hint of coldness appeared in them. He stood up and took a few tissues to wipe the liquid off the ground. Then, he washed his hands before walking out of the washroom. Lin Qingqian was still lying on the bed and rubbing her tailbone. Her facial features were scrunched up in pain. ¡°It still hurts?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked over and said with concern, ¡°I¡¯ll get the doctor toe over and take a look.¡± ¡°No need, no need¡­¡± Lin Qingqian hurriedly rejected his good intentions.¡± It¡¯s a little painful, but it¡¯ll be fine after rubbing it for a while. ¡± How embarrassing was it to tell the doctor that she¡¯d fallen because she was still groggy from sleep? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined palmnded gently on her tailbone. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I forgot to clean up after spilling water on the groundst night.¡± Lin Qingqian was too embarrassed to me him. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It doesn¡¯t hurt much anymore.¡± Jiang Yanshen massaged her for half an hour and his body was sweating. Lin Qingqian was afraid that his hands would be sore, so she told him to take a shower and get up to move around. Jiang Yanshen confirmed repeatedly that she was fine before going to the bathroom. Lin Qingqian got off the bed. Although it was not as painful as before, it was a hard fall. It still hurts. She only said that it did not hurt because she didn¡¯t want him to worry. This episode passed quickly. After breakfast, the two of them went back to thepany. The car stopped at the entrance of thepany. Jiang Yanshen said worriedly, ¡°Don¡¯t you need me to send you in?¡± Lin Qingqian instantly understood what he meant by ¡°sent¡±. Her red lips curled into a smile. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and leaned over to kiss her cheek. ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± Lin Qingqian agreed and pushed open the car door to get out of the car before walking towards thepany as usual. Only when she walked into the office did she stop. She held the door and took a deep breath. Su Ying walked over and saw that her condition was not right. She asked with concern, ¡°Sister Qingqian, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Please help me bring in a pillow. The softest one.¡± Su Ying did not understand why, but she still obediently went to get one and sent it over. Lin Qingqian thanked her and took the pillow to ce on the swivel chair. Then, she sat down gently and felt the pain subside. ¡°Sister Qingqian, are you really alright?¡± Su Ying looked at her worriedly. Lin Qingqian looked up and pursed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She took out a stack of red packets that she had prepared in advance from her handbag. ¡°Please help me send them to the other colleagues in thepany.¡± Su Ying took the red packets. ¡°Then I¡¯ll bring you more coffeeter.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and watched her leave before heaving a sigh of relief. For the entire day, Lin Qingqian did not stand up much. She sat as much as she could. Unless she had no choice, she did not even want to go to the toilet. Seeing that her expression was not right, Han Liubai wanted to say something but hesitated a few times. In the evening, Jiang Yanshen called. Because there was something on at thepany, he couldn¡¯t pick her up and asked her to go back herself. She didn¡¯t have to wait for him for dinner. Lin Qingqian waited until everyone in thepany had left before getting up and walking to the clothes rack step by step. Just as she was about to reach for the coat¡­ An arm reached over and nimbly removed her woolen coat. Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw Han Liubai walking in. His expression was calm. After taking the coat, he wanted to put it on for her. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡¯ Before she could finish speaking, Han Liubai held her hand and ced it in the sleeve. He turned around and helped her put on the other sleeve. Lin Qingqian hurriedly buttoned her coat. ¡°I can do it myself. Thank you.¡± Han Liubai did not say anything. The next second after she buttoned her coat, he bent down and picked her up horizontally. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Lin Qingqian: Han Liubai carried her out of thepany. Chen Mu had already parked the car at the door. When he saw theme out, he hurriedly got out and opened the door. Lin Qingqian secretly nced at him from the corner of her eye. She felt that Xiao Bai was different from usual. ¡°You¡¯re already in this state, but he¡¯s noting to pick you up?¡± Han Liubai turned his head and nced at her from the corner of his eye, his tone slightly cold. The others did not notice, but he noticed that she rarely left the office today. Even when she came out, her walking posture was different from usual. Su Ying also said that she had given her the softest cushion. No matter how stupid he was, he could tell that she must be feeling unwell. ¡°He¡¯s busy with work, and I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin O?ngqian¡¯s lips curved, and a smile appeared on her in face. She was so sincere that no one could doubt the authenticity of her words. Han Liubai¡¯s brows gradually furrowed, and his jawline was extremely tense. After a moment of silence, he turned to look out of the car window, as if he was trying his best to endure something. There was silence in the car. The atmosphere was awkwvard and tense until the car stopped. Han Liubai got out of the car and carried Lin Qingqian into the house without giving her a chance to speak. The auntie saw him and Lin Qingqian and was dumbfounded. Han Liubai asked where the bedroom was. The auntie pointed upstairs. ¡°Go upstairs and turn right. Second room.¡± Han Liubai carried Lin Qingqian upstairs and into the bedroom, carefully cing her on the ck bedsheets. ¡°Rest well. Call me if you need anything.¡± With that, he turned around and left. The words ¡°thank you¡± were stuck in Lin Qingqian¡¯s throat. Before she could say it, his figure had already disappeared at the door. Lin Qingqian: Had Xiao Bai encountered something unhappy? Otherwise, why would he be so angry?! Han Liubai quickly went downstairs. When he walked out of the vi, he saw Jiang Yanshen alighting from the car, his eyes dark. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were cold, and his thin lips moved. ¡°I warned you to stay away from my woman.¡± Han Liu¡¯s long eyshes fluttered, and his pale lips curled into a mocking smile. ¡°You should say this to yourself.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were covered in a haze. Before he opened his mouth, he saw him mouth some words silently. The blood on his face immediately drained away, and his ck eyes were filled with momentary surprise and disbelief. Han Liubai sneered. ¡°Your secret is no longer a secret. How long do you think you can lie to her?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hands by his side slowly clenched into fists, and his veins bulged. His ruthless emotions filled his eyes with killing intent. ¡°You¡¯d better control your emotions.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s voice was as light as willow catkins. It was clearly not lethal, but every word was like a knife stabbing Jiang Yanshen¡¯s weakness. ¡°After all, you don¡¯t want to scare her and let her see your ugly true colors.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Han Liubai walked past him without stopping. Jiang Yanshen turned his body and stared at his thin and weak figure from the corner of his eye.. The light in his ck eyes was mixed and hidden¡­ Chapter 331 - 331: Untitled Chapter 331: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Jiang Yanshen returned to the bedroom, Lin Qingqian was lying on the bed and rubbing her spine with great effort. He walked over and covered it with hisrge palm. The warm touch shocked Lin Qingqian. She turned around and met his deep and heartbroken gaze. She was a little surprised. ¡°Why are you back?¡± Wasn¡¯t he supposed to be busy untilte at night? Jiang Yanshen frowned and said, ¡®You¡¯re already in this state. How can I note back?¡± After receiving Chen Mu¡¯s update, he couldn¡¯t care less and rushed back. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­ This time, Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t listen to her. He carried her up horizontally and turned to walk out of the bedroom. Lin Qingqian could not dissuade him and could only follow him to the hospital obediently. When they arrived at the hospital, Lu Yuan had already contacted the director in advance. The director personally brought the experts over to wee them. Lin Qingqian was injured in the tailbone and had to go for a CT scan. Jiang Yanshen waited outside. Within a few minutes, Lin Qingqian was pushed out in a wheelchair. In the end, she still had to wait for half an hour for the results. The director invited them to wait in his office. Jiang Yanshen covered her legs with his coat and bent down to say in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ll go out for a while. Wait for me here.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and didn¡¯t ask him where he was going. She held her cup and drank her tea. Jiang Yanshen walked out of the director¡¯s office. Lu Yuan stood at the door with a doctor in a white coat, as if he was waiting for him. Jiang Yanshen nced at Lu Yuan and instructed, ¡°Go and monitor the CT scan.¡± Lu Yuan understood and immediately turned to leave. Only Jiang Yanshen and the doctor were left in the empty and quiet corridor. Afraid that Lin Qingqian in the office would hear them, he specially took a few steps away and turned to look at the doctor. ¡°Her period hasn¡¯te yet. Could she be pregnant?¡± The doctor shook his head. ¡°Madam Jiang fell so heavily. If she¡¯s pregnant, there will definitely be blood. Since there isn¡¯t, she¡¯s not pregnant.¡± ¡°Then why isn¡¯t her period here yet?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked calmly. ¡°There are many reasons why she might have ate period. She might have caught a cold, or she might be under a lot of pressure from work. These will affect her period. It usually doesn¡¯t matter as long as it isn¡¯tte by more than a week,¡± the doctor exined patiently. Nowadays, very few husbands cared so much about their wives. Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Will this affect her conception?¡± ¡°Generally speaking, no.¡± The doctor deliberated over his words and said, ¡°As long as there¡¯s nothing wrong with Madam Jiang¡¯s body, I believe there¡¯ll be good news soon.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes lowered, casting a green shadow in his eyes. His throat bobbed a few times and he tightened his grip silently. The doctor: ¡°Then if there¡¯s nothing else. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Lin Qingqian and the director were chatting when she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned her head to look at the door and saw faint joy in her delicate eyes. About ten minutester, the CT scan was sent over. There was not much of a problem. She just needed to go back and recuperate. If it really hurt too much, she could take some painkillers. Jiang Yanshen asked Lu Yuan to pay the fees and get the medicine while he carried Lin Qingqian back to the car. After returning to Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen ced her on the bed and said solemnly, ¡°Don¡¯t go to thepany for the next few days.¡± ¡°But¡ª¡± ¡°If you¡¯re disobedient, I¡¯ll watch you at home 24 hours a day.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tense voice had no intention of joking.. Chapter 332 - 332: “Hello, Jiang Yanshen… Chapter 332: ¡°Hello, Jiang Yanshen¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian knew that her trip to Yu Mountain during the new year had dyed a lot of work. If she really let him watch her at home 24 hours a day, it would definitely affect her work. ¡°I¡¯m not going to thepany anymore. I¡¯ll have a video conference every day and draw design drafts, alright?¡± Lin Qingqianpromised. Jiang Yanshen reached out and patted her little head, as if rewarding her. ¡°Be good. I¡¯ll get Auntie to bring theputer and your drawings to the room.¡± After a pause, he said worriedly, ¡°Remember to wash your hands every time you finish drawing.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m a little kid!¡± Only children would draw with their hands. Their fingers and face would be so dark if they did not wash their hands and wipe their faces. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up but he did not exin and let her lie down for a while. He still had some work to deal with. Lin Qingqian yed with her phone obediently and let him go about his business. Jiang Yanshen instructed the auntie to call him when dinner was ready. Then, he returned to the study to work remotely. For a week, Lin Qingqian was in the Begonia Courtyard. The furthest she went was the washroom. Any ce beyond the bedroom became a border. Three meals a day were sent to the room by the auntie. Jiang Yanshen had been rather busy recently and could only apany her in the morning and evening. He could not make it back in time for lunch. After lying down for a week, Lin Qingqian felt like her entire body was about to fall apart. Fortunately, her work wasn¡¯t dyed too much and she even drew many design drafts. As long as she made a few changes and adjustments, she could reproduce them. Only Su Ying and Suisui hade to visit her this week. Lu Qinshang and the others had only called to express their concern. Luo Tianxue and Lu Dongcheng had gone to the Maldives for the new year. When they returned and found out that Lin Qingqian was injured, they came over to show their concern. In the end, Lin Qingqian was already better and could go to thepany. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°Your legs are so slim.¡± ¡°Thank you for your praise!¡± Luo Tianxue said happily, ¡°I haven¡¯t gained any weight this year!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Your weight didn¡¯t grow, but if you show off your legs a few more times like this, be careful not to get rheumatoid arthritis when you get old. ¡± Luo Tianxue curled her lips. ¡°But I like to be beautiful. If I wear too much and are photographed by the media, I¡¯ll be scolded for not having the self-awareness to be a female celebrity.¡± The entertainment industry was so mean and realistic to female celebrities. As long as a female celebrity wore a bit more clothes, she would be said to not have the self-awareness of a female celebrity. They would say that she isn¡¯t beautiful anymore, or she had gained weight. It seemed like it was against thew for female celebrities to gain weight. Lin Qingqian shook her head helplessly. She was also helpless against the atmosphere of the entertainment industry. ¡°By the way, guess what gift I brought you?¡± Luo Tianxue suddenly remembered something serious. ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Luo Tianxue took out a publicity flyer from her limited edition bag and handed it to her. Lin Qingqian took it suspiciously and saw the publicity title: The scenery of my hometown. Looking down, it turned out to be a fashion designpetition organized by S.T. The theme was the scenery of their hometown. ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to introduce S.T. to you. Your idol, L, emerged from thispetition!¡± Luo Tianxue said excitedly, ¡°Thispetition is global. There¡¯s no nationality restriction. Moreover, the champion can work with S.T. to coborate on a joint series that will be promoted worldwide. I don¡¯t need to tell you what this means?¡± S.T. was a fashionpany in Mn that involved various fields, such as skincare, cosmetics, clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, cosmetics, and so on. They did everything rted to fashion, and they were all top tier brands. They were publicly recognized luxury brands. If they could cooperate with S.T tounch a joint series, the global promotion would be equivalent to promoting the designer¡¯s personal brand internationally. This was a rare opportunity for Lin Qingqian. Except¡ª ¡°This is a globalpetition. Even if there aren¡¯t thousands, there will still be tens of thousands of designers fighting for it.¡± There were many designers in the country who were more outstanding and experienced than her. Even if she signed up to participate, she might not be selected, let alone be the champion. ¡°Therefore, they want an independently designed work in the first round of registration. After being selected, the next round will be a domesticpetition. There will be no more than three designers from each nationality. In the end, only 20 people will be able to go to Mn to participate in the quarter-finals. There will be 10 people in the semi-finals, and there will be five people in the final round. Thepetition will be very cruel.¡± Luo Tianxue stared at her expectantly. ¡°How is it? Do you dare to participate?¡± Although Lin Qingqian was not very confident, she would be too useless if she did not even try. ¡°Thank you, I¡¯ll ept this gift.¡± She ced the publicity booklet in the drawer. Luo Tianxue said happily, ¡°I knew you wouldn¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll be your model when the timees!¡± After a pause, as if she knew what she was about to say, she added, ¡°It¡¯s free.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Why do I feel that you want to use me to hype things up?¡± Luo Tianxue rested her chin on her hands and smiled innocently. ¡°What hype? This is called cooperation. It¡¯s mutually beneficial and win-win.¡± ¡°You should wait until I enter the semi-finals first.¡± Luo Tianxue was even more confident than her. ¡°I met the person-in-charge of thispetition in the Maldives and received the flyer in advance. Thepetition won¡¯t start until February. You still have more than a month to prepare. ¡± Lin Qingqian tilted her head slightly, her bright eyes smiling as if she was saying, ¡°Then I really have to thank you properly.¡± Luo Tianxue still had to go back to deal with the jetg and returned after sitting for a while. Han Liubai walked in and asked, ¡°Miss Luo, why are you looking for me?¡± ¡°S.T. hasunched a global fashion designpetition. She received the news in advance and informed me.¡± Lin Qingqian did not hide it from him. ¡°By the way, have you ever thought of participating, Xiao Bai?¡± ¡°Me?¡± Han Liubai was stunned. The flyer in his pocket was quickly crumpled into a ball. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I saw that there are no restrictions on men¡¯s and women¡¯s clothes in thispetition. You¡¯re also studying design, haven¡¯t you thought of making your own independent brand?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± A trace of unnaturalness shed across Han Liubai¡¯s face. He hesitated and said, ¡°I think it¡¯s good to be a stylist.¡± Seeing that he did not seem to be very interested, Lin Qingqian did not want to force him. ¡°In any case, the official news of thispetition will only be released in February. You still have time to consider.¡± Han Liubai pursed his lips. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll consider it. I¡¯ll go out first.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you looking for me for something?¡± Lin Qingqian asked curiously. ¡°I forgot for a moment. I¡¯ll look for you when I remember.¡± Han Liubai lowered his eyes to hide the unnaturalness in them. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± Han Liubai walked out of the office, took out the crumpled paper ball from his pocket, and threw it into the trash can. At 11 PM, Lin Qingqian was still awake. When Jiang Yanshen returned, he saw her holding her iPad on the sofa and didn¡¯t know what she was looking at. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resting yet?¡± As he walked over, he pulled off his tie and threw it on the sofa. He sat beside her and his gazended on the iPad screen. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him and exined, ¡°S.T is organizing a global fashion design!¡± Jiang Yanshen immediately understood what she meant. ¡°You want to participate?¡± ¡°This is a good opportunity to promote AIR and exchange art and culture. I want to try.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on S.T.¡¯s official website again. Although she knew that S.T. was a big brand, because there were too many categories, she was not familiar with every style. Therefore, she wanted to take a look and do her homework in advance. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°You can definitely win the championship. ¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingers paused as she swiped the page. She turned to look at him. ¡°Are you so confident in me?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve always been very outstanding.¡± Jiang Yanshen was not stingy with his praise. ¡°Master is right. If not for me, you would have long be an internationally renowned design master.¡± He was the one who used the identity of Madam Jiang to trap her life, causing her to waste three years of her life and lose the light and apuse that originally belonged to her. Lin Oinzaian¡¯s slender evshes fluttered as she said softlv, ¡°I chose to marrv you back then. It has nothing to do with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s fingertipsnded on her earlobe and pinched it gently a few times. ¡°I didn¡¯t respect your career.¡± At that time, he married Lin Qingqian. Because he felt that Grandma liked her and she was willing to listen to him, he could just marry her and leave her at home. There was no need to let her go out and show her face. Actually, he also had a chauvinistic personality in his bones. He felt that women would be discriminated against and bullied when they went out to work. If she did not do well, they would embarrass him. His priority was his reputation, not her life, not her thoughts. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Why are we talking about the past again? Isn¡¯t it good for us to be like this now? Let bygones be bygones!¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her lips, saying in a low voice, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Hurry up and take a shower.¡± Lin Qingqian pushed him. ¡°Do you want to eat something?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Yanshen got up to get his pajamas from the closet and went to take a shower. When he came out, Lin Qingqian was still reading the information about S.T. Jiang Yanshen walked over. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sleep?¡± Lin Qingqian said without looking up, ¡°There¡¯s still a little left. I¡¯ll go after I finish reading it¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen took the iPad from her hand. Lin Qingqian looked up at him innocently and helplessly. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°Your tailbone doesn¡¯t hurt anymore?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yanshen immediately bent down and carried her up. He turned around and walked to the bed. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Since it doesn¡¯t hurt anymore, I have to continue what I said before.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender arms wrapped around his neck, looking dumbfounded. ¡°Continue with what?¡± Jiang Yanshen carefully ced her on the big bed and leaned down to kiss her lips. ¡°Human bliss.¡± The two words disappeared between his lips. The moonlight poured down on the world. There was only a dim sleep light on in the bedroom, and it gently sprinkled on the dark bed. Jiang Yanshen suddenly opened his eyes and nced at the woman lying beside him from the corner of his eye. He gently lifted the nket and got off the bed. He picked up his fur home clothes and put them on before walking out of the bedroom. When he went downstairs, the light outside the French window lit up. He stopped in his tracks and thought for a few seconds before walking out. The cold wind was bone-chilling at night. Jiang Yanshen was wearing thin clothes and didn¡¯t seem to know that it was cold. His cold eyes looked at the woman leaning against the car. The woman held a slender cigarette between her fingers and took a puff.. She slowly exhaled a mouthful of smoke and greeted him with a smile, ¡°Hello, Jiang Yanshen¡­ Chapter 333 - 333: Danger Again Chapter 333: Danger Again Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the evening, the city was surrounded by the warm light of the setting sun. The traffic on the road had already returned to its usual prosperity and liveliness. Lin Qingqian walked out of thepany and saw the car parked by the roadside. She walked over. Not far away, a ck motorcycle sped over. From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian saw that she had already passed the sidewalk when it came over. Except¡ª The motorcycle suddenly sped up. She subconsciously stopped in her tracks and wanted to dodge, but the other party did not seem to have any intention of avoiding her and was charging straight at her. Lin Qingqian was stunned. Before she could react, a force suddenly pulled her back. She turned around and bumped into a warm chest. Her heart was still beating wildly. When she looked up at Han Liubai, there was still a trace of fear in his eyes. Han Liubai¡¯s expression was also gloomy, but he tried his best to maintain his calm and asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and instinctively retreated. She pulled away and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you.¡± Han Liubai lowered his head and examined her. After confirming that she was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. When Su Ying and Suisui came out together and saw this scene, they were really shocked. They ran over hand in hand and said worriedly, ¡°Qianqian, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Lin Qingqian replied, but she said worriedly, ¡°Don¡¯t run. Walk properly.¡± Suisui had already jogged over, her face filled with worry. ¡°I was just worried about you.¡± After a pause, she said indignantly, ¡°F*ck! Who was that just now? He didn¡¯t look where he was riding his bike. Is he trying to murder you?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s wearing a helmet and we can¡¯t see his face clearly.¡± Su Ying also frowned, her expression showing rare anger. ¡°Otherwise, we¡¯ll call the police to arrest him!¡± Lin Qingqian did not speak. Her pale face turned to the direction where the motorcycle had driven away, andplicated emotions surged in her eyes. Chen Mu, who was in the car, also saw this scene. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and hurriedly walked over. ¡°Madam, it¡¯s my fault. I should havee over to pick you up.¡± Seeing that his expression was also solemn and depressed, Lin Qingqian said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to me yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll investigate this matter.¡± Although Lin Qingqian did not care, as a bodyguard, he had to ensure the safety of his employer and eliminate the dangers of his employer, including the hidden dangers. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll leave it to you.¡± Lin Qingqian did not stand on ceremony. After all, she felt that the other party was deliberatelying for her. However, she had not formed any grudges with anyone recently. Was it Li Ruzhu, or¡­ Ming Xiao? Suisui was timid. What happened just now still frightened her out of her wits. She pulled Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and said, ¡°You seem to be a little unlucky recently. First, you slipped in the bathroom, and now, you were almost hit by a motorcycle. No, I¡¯ll apany you to the temple tomorrow to pray!¡± Su Ying nodded. ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll go with you and pray!¡± Lin Qingqian was about to say that there was no need when a thought suddenly shed across her mind.. First, she slipped in the bathroom, and then she was almost hit by a motorcycle. Was it a coincidence? Or¡­ was someone deliberately targeting her? The motorcycle ident can be man-made, but what about the bathroom? There was only her and Jiang Yanshen in Begonia Courtyard, and there was only the auntie among the outsiders. Could it be the auntie? After Jiang Yanshen received the news, he immediately rushed back to Begonia Courtyard. Lin Qingqian was reading her emails when she saw his figure from the corner of her eye. She immediately put down her iPad. ¡°Why are you back so early?¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned tightly, his dark eyesnding on her as he examined her. Lin Qingqian realized that he knew something and said with a smile, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Xiao Bai saved me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s anxious heart fell. He couldn¡¯t care less about jealousy anymore. His long arm pulled her into his arms and hugged her. His warm and dry lipsnded on her forehead, and his voice was low and hoarse. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Although Chen Mu said on the phone that she was fine, he couldn¡¯t feel at ease unless he saw her with his own eyes. The auntie had juste out of the kitchen when she saw this scene and tactfully retreated. Lin Qingqian could see the auntie from her angle. She hurriedly sat up straight and said, ¡°Auntie is watching.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t care if anyone was looking. His warm ck eyesnded on her small face. ¡°Were you frightened?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Lin Qingqian did not want him to worry and said casually, ¡°I¡¯m not a weak girl. You know that.¡± That was true. She had followed the Old Master up mountains and down rivers since she was young. She had gone through wildfires and earthquakes. Her courage was not something ordinary women couldpare to. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to investigate this matter.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and his voice was cold. Lin Qingqian pretended not to care and nodded. ¡°Perhaps the other party didn¡¯t mean it either.¡± After a slight pause, she added, ¡°However, Suisui said that I¡¯ve been a little unlucky recently and insisted on dragging me to the temple to pray.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features didn¡¯t change. He pursed his thin lips slightly. ¡°You believe in Buddhism!¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and replied after some thought, ¡°I can¡¯t say. I¡¯ll just treat it as asking for peace of mind.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Let Chen Mu apany you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± In order to reassure him, Lin Qingqian agreed readily. The next morning, Lin Qingqian went to the temple after having a simple meal. Before leaving, Jiang Yanshen instructed Chen Mu to follow Lin Qingqian closely. After sending Lin Qingqian away, the curve of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips visibly sank. Lu Yuan walked over and said respectfully, ¡°Director Jiang.¡± ¡°You found it?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at him coldly. Lu Yuan shook his head. ¡°Young Master Gu said that the other party¡¯s motorcycle license te was fake and he was wearing a helmet at that time. His facial features could not be seen clearly. He lost track of the motorcycle in a blind spot without surveince cameras.¡± In other words, the other party had expected them to use the surveince cameras to track them. Jiang Yanshen clenched his fists slowly and said coldly, ¡°Send a few more people to follow Qianqian. Don¡¯t let her find out.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Lu Yuan replied and said, ¡°Director Jiang, are we going to thepany?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly when he got into the car. After a moment of silence, he said, ¡°To the clinic.¡± When Lin Qingqian arrived at the temple, Suisui was already at the door. When she saw her, she waved her hand happily. ¡°Qianqian, over here.¡± There was only one temple in Lan City, and there were usually many visitors who came to offer incense. There were many peopleing and going early in the morning, and their bodies were stained with the smell of incense. Lin Qingqian walked over. ¡®Why are you here so early?¡± Suisui looked sincere. ¡°We¡¯reing here to pray. Of course I have to wake up early to be sincere.¡± ¡°Is that the truth?¡± Suisui sighed. ¡°I woke up hungry this morning.¡± I knew it. Suisui held her arm. ¡°No matter the reason, I came early. Lord Bodhisattva won¡¯t me me.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t refute and swept her gaze around. ¡°Xiao Ying isn¡¯t here yet?¡± ¡°She just sent a WeChat message saying that she¡¯s almost here.¡± Suisui¡¯s eyes swept around. Chen Mu parked the car and walked over. He stood quietly at the side, vigntly investigating the hidden dangers around him. After waiting for a few minutes, they saw Su Ying running over in a hurry. ¡°Sister Qingqian, Suisui, I¡¯m sorry I¡¯mte.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, we just arrived too.¡± Lin Qingqian patted her back gently to help her calm down. Su Ying caught her breath and handed the breakfast to Suisui. ¡°Your breakfast.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Suisui took it happily. ¡°I¡¯m about to starve to death. I finally have rice balls to eat.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her helplessly. ¡°So Su Ying went to buy breakfast for you.¡± ¡°No!¡± Su Ying exined with a smile. ¡°I happened toe across a stall near my house, so I went to buy it. There¡¯s also soy milk.¡± Su Ying handed them the bag in her hand. ¡°The soy milk in this breakfast shop is fresh. It¡¯s very good.¡± Lin Qingqian saw that there were only two cups. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve eaten.¡± Su Ying handed a cup to Suisui. Suisui happily confessed, ¡°Thank you. I love you.¡± Su Ying smiled shyly and gave the other cup to Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take it and said softly, ¡°I¡¯ve eaten at home. I can¡¯t drink it now. You drink it.¡± ¡°Oh, alright.¡± Su Ying retracted her hand and lowered her head to drink the soy milk with a straw. Lin Qingqian waited for them to finish eating before the three of them entered the temple. There were several Buddha statues worshiped in the temple. The three of them knelt down before each one and donated money to the merit box. Then, they returned to the courtyard of the temple. There was a one-meter-tall incense burner that was already filled with incense. Lin Qingqian had asked Chen Mu to buy incense and candles. The three of them split up and bowed in four directions before inserting the incense and candles into the incense burner. Suisui looked flustered. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. I have to go to the toilet.¡± Ever since she became pregnant, she felt that her dder was getting worse and worse. She needed to go to the toilet at every turn. ¡°I¡¯ll go too.¡± With that, Su Ying looked at Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Go, I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± Only then did Suisui and Su Ying hold hands and go to the washroom like a pair of female students. Lin Qingqian asked Chen Mu to drive the car over so they could return to thepany when Suisui and the others returned. Chen Mu was a little hesitant. Director Jiang had instructed him to follow Madam closely. ¡°Go. There are so many people here, and I¡¯ll be fine in front of the temple.¡± Lin Qingqian said gently. Chen Mu nced at the big Buddha in the temple. His eyebrows and eyes were kind, and there was a smile on his lips, as if he could enlighten all living beings. Although he did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he still had some respect for them at this moment. As for those fierce and evil people, they would more or less have a trace of reverence in their hearts in front of the Buddhist temple and would not dare to do evil. With this thought in mind, he went to the parking lot. The morning breeze was still a little bone-piercing. Lin Qingqian adjusted her coat that was stained with sandalwood and nced at the person not far away from her from the corner of her eye, her eyes gradually turning cold. When Shen Zhiwei received Lu Yuan¡¯s call, she asked her assistant to move back the appointment slot booked previously an hour to receive Jiang Yanshen. The dark blue curtains were drawn tightly, and an orange light shone in the office. Shen Zhiwei lit thevender incense and turned to look at the man sitting on the recliner. ¡°Director Jiang, you usually don¡¯te over during the day.¡± Because he was afraid of being seen by the reporters who might publicize it. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His fingers crossed and tightened, his joints turning greenish-white. The silence made the atmosphere in the office oppressive and heavy. Just as Shen Zhiwei was feeling uneasy, she heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tense voice slowly ring out¡ª ¡°I¡¯ve been able to fall asleep at night recently, and I sleep until dawn..¡± Chapter 334 - 334: A Declaration of War Chapter 334: A Deration of War Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The faint smile on Shen Zhiwei¡¯s lips froze, and surprise surged in her smoky eyes. No one knew Jiang Yanshen¡¯s situation better than her. Without the help of medicine and hypnosis, it was very difficult for him to have a good sleep quality. The words ¡°sleep until dawn¡± were a luxury to him. ¡°You suspect¡­¡± She trailed off. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was calm, his long eyshes blocking the light in his eyes. His voice was cold. ¡°I need you to help me confirm it.¡± Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath and walked to her desk. She picked up the phone and dialed the office line. ¡°No one is allowed to disturb me for an hour.¡± After ending the call, she took out a timed rm clock from the drawer. The needle moved second by second, emitting a mechanical sound. ¡°Director Jiang, I hope you can cooperate with me.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and nced at her indifferently. He couldn¡¯t help but nod and lie down¡­ Shen Zhiwei yed soothing music with the remote control and ced the rm clock on the small table beside her. Her gazended on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face, and her voice was as gentle as a breeze. ¡°Now, please close your eyes and imagine that you¡¯re in a forest¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Ming Xiao, who was walking towards her, and there was no change in her expression. Ming Xiao was wearing a bright red coat and her long hair was tied up. She carried a limited edition bag, as if she was not here to offer incense but to walk on the runway. ¡°Looks like Junior has been having a hard time recently.¡± Her voice was filled with schadenfreude. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°How do you know that I¡¯m not having a good time? Unless¡­ my bad days were arranged by Senior?¡± Ming Xiao looked innocent. ¡°I won¡¯t deny that I sent someone to keep an eye on your movements, but you said that I was the one who caused your unhappiness. You have to have evidence, or it¡¯ll be nder.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. Her bright eyes probed her extremely hypocritical face, and she was puzzled. Was it really unrted to her? Ming Xiao¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as her gaze shifted from her to the Buddha statue in the hall. ¡°I can swear in front of Buddha that I didn¡¯t do it. Otherwise, I will definitely suffer retribution and go to the eighteenth level of hell after death.¡± Lin Qingqian could not see any ws in her eyes and expression. She was sure that she did not do it. Otherwise, she would not have appeared in front of her so brazenly and made such a vicious oath. More importantly, Ming Xiao was extremely confident and conceited. If she did it, she would not bother to deny it. Because there was no evidence, even if she admitted it, there was nothing she could do. Ming Xiao turned to look at her and chuckled. ¡°I guess you¡¯ve also received the news that S.T. is holding a fashionpetition.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could say anything, her casual voice sounded in her ears. ¡°Looks like we¡¯re going to be opponents again.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve always been opponents, haven¡¯t we?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze was as firm as iron as she looked at her. Her light voice was mixed with mockery. ¡°I just don¡¯t Imow if you dare topete with me openly this time.¡± Previously, there was also apetition in school. In order to stop her, Ming Xiao either destroyed her designs or looked for a scapegoat to hinder her. She naa neverpetea witn ner openly! Ming Xiao sneered. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you know what I hate about you the most?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°I don¡¯t want to know.¡± Ming Xiao seemed not to have heard her and gritted her teeth. ¡°I hate it when you look so weak and aloof from worldly affairs. You¡¯re clearly a wild girl from the countryside. You want a sparrow to fly up a branch and be a phoenix? Why are you pretending to be noble!¡± Deep down, she thought that people like Lin Qingqian who came from poor family backgrounds all wanted to climb up the socialdder, but Lin Qingqian still had to put on an aloof attitude as if she did not want that. Lin Qingqian disdainfully exined to her, ¡°Buddha says that what a person has in their heart will be reflected in their eyes. Senior, if you think like this, could it be that you want to advance to the next level?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not like them to believe you!¡± Ming Xiao retracted her smile and pursed her cherry-red lips. ¡°Lin Qingqian, this time, I¡¯llpete with you openly. I¡¯ll let you Imow that a sparrow is a sparrow, and a phoenix is a phoenix.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s the champion of S.T. or Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯ll lose them because they¡¯re not something someone like you can have!¡± Her light gazended on Lin Qingqian¡¯s face and she slowly squeezed out three words. ¡°You¡¯re. Not. Worthy.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows and eyes were calm as she said lightly, ¡°These three words were also what I wanted to say to you.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s lips darkened as her cold gaze swept past her face. She turned around and left. She had no intention of going in to pray. Lin Qingqian watched her leave calmly and realized that she had speciallye to challenge her. That¡¯s right. How could a person like Ming Xiao believe in Buddha? Ming Yuan would satisfy everything she asked for. There was no need for the gods, and she disdained to beg the gods. Suisui and Su Ying returned from the washroom and saw her looking somewhere. ¡°That seems to be that little b*tch, Ming Xiao. Why is she here?¡± Suisui asked curiously. Lin Qingqian retracted her gaze. ¡°To send me a challenge.¡± ¡°What?¡± Suisui looked surprised. ¡°She should be participating in S.T.¡¯s fashion designpetition!¡± She exined concisely. ¡°F*ck! ¡± Suisui immediately gritted her teeth angrily and said, ¡°What nonsense is she participating in! Is she worthy? She only knows how to bribe and y underhanded tricks. She¡¯s simply a disgrace to the design world! ¡± Seeing her indignant look, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°You¡¯re already a mother. Watch your prenatal education.¡± Suisui reacted and immediately touched her stomach, which was not too obvious. ¡°Baby, be good. You can¡¯t tell others what I said just now, but it¡¯s fine for bad people like that.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Before this child was born, she was already worried about what Suisui would teach her in the future! If Lu Qinshang taught the child¡­ Forget it, he seemed even more unreliable. Su Ying said worriedly, ¡°Sister Qingqian, could she be up to some dirty tricks to make you unable to participate in thepetition!¡± When Lin Qingqian saw that one of them was even angrier than her and the other was even more worried than her, her heart warmed. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, S.T.¡¯s fashion designpetition is global. All the judges are very professional. It¡¯s not something she can affect with money.¡± If it was really that easy, Ming Xiao would have long bought a championship title to package herself. At the psychiatric clinic. Jiang Yanshen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Shen Zhiwei, his eyes filled with questions. Shen Zhiwei looked at him with aplicated gaze and did not speak for a long time. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His thin lips twitched slightly. He had never seen Shen Zhiwei reveal such an unconfident expression. His eyelids twitched a few times. He had a bad feeling. ¡°Did you see other psychiatrists?¡± Shen Zhiwei hesitated and said. Jiang Yanshen was stunned, and a word escaped his thin lips. ¡°No.¡± ¡°But I can¡¯t hypnotize you, nor can Imunicate with you.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s voice was slightly tense, and there was a hint of coldness in her voice. ¡°I can feel that it¡¯s not you who¡¯s resisting, but someone hypnotized a deeperyer of your consciousness and installed ayer in your subconscious that rejects the hypnosis of other psychiatrists.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat tightened, and his eyes darkened like an abyss. Shen Zhi rubbed the space between her eyebrows. ¡°I¡¯ve already warned you that you can¡¯t stop taking the medicine in your condition!¡± Jiang Yanshen sat up and didn¡¯t say anything. He lowered his eyes. She didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. ¡°I¡¯ll prescribe you some medicine. Perhaps you can¡­¡± Before Shen Zhiwei could finish speaking, she was interrupted. ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± ¡°What?¡± Puzzlement appeared in her smoky eyes. What was toote? Jiang Yanshen did not answer her question and only repeated in a tense voice, ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s drug control, with your willpower and my help, he¡¯s only a child with a nine-year-old intellect. Perhaps¡­¡± ¡°Doctor Shen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen interrupted her again, his dark eyes as thick as ink filled with determination and pleading. ¡°Help me keep this a secret. Don¡¯t let anyone know, especially Qianqian.¡± Shen Zhiwei understood what he meant. As a psychiatrist, she had the obligation to protect the secrecy of his condition, but¡ª ¡°How long do you think you can hide it? What if one day youpletely¡­¡± She paused and swallowed the rest of her words. She felt that these words were too cruel to him. She didn¡¯t finish the rest of her sentence, and he knew what it was. His expression was indifferent, and his thin lips moved. ¡°She¡¯ll know, but not now. Give me a little more time.¡± Shen Zhiwei knew that there was a stubborn side to his personality that no one could shake. She stopped persuading him and only sighed heavily. Jiang Yanshen stood up and took off his ck coat from the hanger to put it on. When he ced his fingers in his pocket, he touched something cold and hard. He took out a coin. It was the lucky coin he had obtained from eating dumplings when he went to Yu Mountain. Unfortunately, this year¡¯s lucky coin was not earned by him. It was Lu Yuan, that kid who benefited. After gently stroking the coin with his fingertips for a moment, he put it back into his pocket and walked out of the office. Lu Yuan was guarding the door. When he saw hime out, he hurriedly went forward and handed back his cell phone. ¡°Director Jiang.¡± ¡°Qianqian called?¡± Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone and walked towards the elevator. Lu Yuan followed behind and replied respectfully, ¡°No, but the bodyguard called to say that Madam met with Miss Ming.¡± The figure that walked to the elevator suddenly paused and turned to look at him. ¡°Ming Xiao?¡± Lu Yuan nodded. ¡°Ming Yuan¡¯s daughter.¡± Jiang Yanshen remembered the name Ming Xiao because of her previous bullying of Qianqian. He originally thought that she would restrain herself after he warned Ming Yuan, but he didn¡¯t expect¡­ The elevator door slowly opened and Jiang Yanshen walked in. Lu Yuan pressed the button for the first floor. Just as he retracted his finger, he heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice say, ¡°Go and investigate who Ming Yuan has been in contact with recently.¡± Lu Yuan did not understand what he wanted to do and nodded in agreement. In the evening, Jiang Yanshen asked Lu Yuan to push aside the rest of his work and pick Lin Qingqian up from work. The two of them returned to Begonia Courtyard together. Just as the car drove to the door, Lin Qingqian saw the person standing at the door and subconsciously frowned. What was she doing here? Jiang Yanshen acutely sensed the slight change in her expression. When he saw that figure from the corner of his eye, his ck eyes surged with undisguised disgust. Li Gun¡¯s legs were already sore from standing. When she saw Jiang Yanshen¡¯s car stop, she hurriedly leaned over. ¡°Yanshen.. Her affectionate tone made people who did not know better think that their mother-son rtionship was very good.. Chapter 335 - 335: Relapse Chapter 335: Rpse Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian got out of the car and looked at Li Gun, who had changed into a different person, in unison, with suspicion. Li Gun nced at Lin Qingqian. She was not enthusiastic, but she was not as disgusted as before. She said with a smile, ¡°Qingqian is back too.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm. She wasn¡¯t touched by her sudden goodwill. After all, she had seen very clearly what kind of person Li Gun was in her bones in the past seven years. She did not believe that Li Gun would turn over a new leaf in a short period of time. Jiang Yanshen had the same thoughts as her, but he didn¡¯t show it. He lowered his head and said gently, ¡°Go in first.¡± Thinking that he had something to say to Li Gun alone, he nodded and entered the house first. Seeing that Lin Qingqian had left, the ttering smile on Li Gun¡¯s face became more and more obvious. ¡°Yanshen, Mom hasn¡¯t seen you in a long time. You look like you¡¯ve lost weight.¡± Jiang Yanshen was not moved by her concern. His eyes were cold as he asked in a cold voice, ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± The smile on Li Gun¡¯s face froze before she revealed a disappointed and bitter smile. ¡°Yanshen, I know you resent me in your heart. I did treat you and Qingqian badly in the past, but during this period of time¡­¡± As she spoke, her eyes turned red and tears fell. She choked and said, ¡°Mother hasn¡¯t been having a good time recently either¡­ Li Dashun has raised several women outside. I used to treat that ingrate Li Ruzhu so well, but now that she sees that I¡¯m no longer Madam Jiang, she ignores me¡­¡± She wiped her tears, sniffed, and said hoarsely, ¡°I really live outside alone¡­ I can¡¯t even call for help. I¡¯ve been lonely and cold this year. I can¡¯t eat or sleep well.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her crying. Her expression was still indifferent, as if he was looking at someone who had nothing to do with him. ¡°So?¡± His thin lips squeezed out a single word stingily. ¡°I really did too many shameless things in the past, but I know my mistake now. Please forgive Mom and give Mom a chance. Mom will definitely take good care of you, okay?¡± Li Gun stared at him sincerely with her red eyes. Her voice was filled with tears, as if every word came from the bottom of her heart. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips into a straight line and did not speak. ¡°Yanshen, your father is no longer around. We¡¯re the only blood-rted family in this world. Can you really not forgive Mom?¡± Just as she was about to cry again, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s pursed thin lips rxed. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Li Ruzhu was stunned. She did not expect him to agree so readily and thought that she would have to beg more. ¡°You can return to the Jiang residence to live, but you can¡¯t call yourself Madam Jiang to the outside world,¡± Jiang Yanshen said coldly. Li Gun reacted and hurriedly nodded. She said in relief, ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t care about the title of Madam Jiang. I just want to salvage our blood rtionship and be a good mother topensate you.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped talking again. Li Gun hesitated for a moment. She looked at the door from the corner of her eye and hesitated. ¡°Then Qingqian.. ¡°Qianqian is very magnanimous. If you don¡¯t find trouble with her, she won¡¯t find trouble with you either.¡± ¡°No, no,¡± Li Gun hurriedly agreed. ¡°I was muddle-headed in the past. It¡¯s really hard to find an obedient daughter-inw like Qianqian. Fortunately, you two got together again. Otherwise, as a mother, I would be a sinner¡­¡± As she spoke, she was about to cry again. Jiang Yanshen suppressed his emotions and said coldly, ¡°Get the chauffeur to send you back to the Jiang residence.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he walked into the house. Li Gun could not hide the joy in her voice. ¡°Come back for dinner with Qingqian when you¡¯re free. I¡¯ll cook personally.¡± Jiang Yanshen entered the house without looking back. Seeing him enter the house, the smile on Li Gun¡¯s face darkened. She reached out and took out the recording pen in her bag. She originally nned to announce his crime of not recognizing his biological mother to the world if he did not agree or was aggressive, ruining his reputation. She did not expect him to agree so quickly. That was true. No matter how well the olddy treated him, she could notpare to her, his biological mother. Now, she will return to the Jiang residence first. There would be someone to serve her. After she repaired her rtionship with Jiang Yanshen, she would slowly deal with that little b*tch, Lin Qingqian. When Jiang Yanshen walked into the house, his expression was dark. His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and he could not hide the disgust and unhappiness in his eyes. The uncontroble anger in the depths of his heart surged. He clenched his fists tightly and tried his best to restrain his desire to destroy. He couldn¡¯t take the medicine and could only rely on his own will to suppress himself. It couldn¡¯t re up, he couldn¡¯t scare Qianqian, and he couldn¡¯t hurt her. Soon, the blood drained from his face. His pale face was covered in bean-sized sweat, and his breathing was rapid. His handsome facial features could not hide his pain. He held onto the stairs and walked up with difficulty. His footsteps were weak, and he missed a step and was about to fall¡­ A palm with thin fingers grabbed his arm and propped him up. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and met her clear eyes. The voice in his ear was like the sound of nature. ¡°Calm down. Don¡¯t let Auntie see you.¡± His throat rolled a few times, and his long armnded on her shoulder. It looked like he was hugging Lin Qingqian intimately, but it was actually Lin Qingqian who helped him upstairs. In the bedroom, Jiang Yanshen sank into the soft bed. In the next second, he stood up and pressed his hands against his head that seemed to be about to explode. His voice was almost squeezed out of his throat. ¡°You¡­ get out¡­¡± It was clearly just three words, but he said it with extreme effort, as if he had used all his strength. Lin Qingqian acted as if she didn¡¯t hear him. She turned around and walked to the bedside table to open the bottom cab. When she took out the medicine, her expression changed. She quickly unscrewed the medicine bottle and poured it upside down. The bottle was empty. ¡°Where¡¯s the medicine?¡± She walked in front of Jiang Yanshen and asked in a tense voice. Jiang Yanshen was in more and more pain. The increasingly violent emotions made him almost lose control of his body. Destruction! He wanted to destroy everything in sight. ¡°I told you to get out!¡± He almost shouted the words when he looked up. Scarlet blood slowly surged in his dark and terrifying eyes, like a beast that had lost its mind Lin Qingqian felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart was trembling. Her rationality told her to leave immediately and not stay. But every time she wanted to move, there was a force pulling at her body from the depths of her heart, making her unable to take a step forward. This was the man she loved deeply. She shouldn¡¯t be afraid and look at him with a strange expression. She shouldn¡¯t look at him in fear and stab his little dignity. He was a patient, and he was being tortured by illness. He was in pain, and she¡­ was she really going to leave him alone at this moment? She had asked herself countless times in her heart if she could ept everything about him, including his bipr disorder and personality dissociation¡­ If she walked out of this door today, would it be equivalent to locking him in this room forever? He could only stay in this room forever, alone and in despair. He would never be able to walk out. Her clenched fists suddenly rxed. She had made a choice that she had never even thought of. She did not turn to leave. Instead, she leaned forward and hugged him, her slender arms hugging his neck that was already wet with cold sweat. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, I think I might be beyond help.¡± Her red lips curled up as she said in a mocking tone, ¡°If you really can¡¯t control yourself and attack me, I don¡¯t think I deserve anyone¡¯s sympathy, including my own.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s body suddenly stiffened. When he looked up at her, his red eyes were filled with disbelief. Lin Qingqian hugged his head tightly and said softly, ¡°I know I should protect myself, but women will always overflow with love and think that they can save the man they love. Even I can¡¯t help but want to be a Virgin Mary and save you! Although I don¡¯t know if I can do it, I have to give it a try¡­ Otherwise, it will seem like love and marriage are cheap!¡± Her every word was very soft, but it also hit Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart very hard. How much did she love him to put herself in danger? Was this love? Even if she knew that walking barefoot on ss fragments would cause her to be cut, bleed, and hurt, she would still smile and walk down elegantly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s irritable emotions calmed down slowly and his rationality recovered bit by bit. His cold and hard heart was softened by her gentleness. His stiff arms slowly and carefully hugged her slender waist. Lin Qingqian looked down at the hand on her waist and saw that his emotions were calming down bit by bit. He snuggled into her arms like a child, and his eyes gradually turned red.. ¡°Look, it doesn¡¯t seem very difficult¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t say anything. His long eyshes were lowered and his eyes were closed. He only tried his best to take deep breaths. When he smelled the pleasant smell on her body, his mind seemed to be satisfied andforted. Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender fingers gently touched his ck and soft hair. ¡°Ah Yan, everyone says that men¡¯s hair and hearts are soft. I think they¡¯re right.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked cold and arrogant, but his heart was very soft. He had never hurt anyone. Except for himself. Half an hourter, the two of themy on their sides on the bed and looked at each other hand in hand. No one said anything to break the silence and warmth. As Lin Qingqian watched, she could not help but touch him. Her fingertipsnded on his forehead and gently pressed down the wrinkles. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he had just finished extreme exercise. ¡°Do you still remember the first time we met?¡± Jiang Yanshen asked. Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°I remember. How could I forget?¡± That was a scene of love at first sight. How could she forget it? ¡°I don¡¯t remember what scene it was at that time,¡± Jiang Yanshen asked in a hoarse voice, his dark eyes staring at her. Lin Qingqiany on the bed and looked at the ceiling as she recalled the scene at that time¡­ ¡°That was the first day I came to the Jiang family. Grandma asked the servants to bring me to my room.. It was the first time we met, in the greenhouse on the second floor¡­ Chapter 338 - 338: Untitled Chapter 338 - 338: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Qianqian¡­ Qianqian¡­¡± A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and Lin Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes¡­ Through her tears, she saw the man sitting by the bed. His handsome features were filled with worry, and his ck eyes were looking at her nervously. Almost without thinking, she wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. Tears rolled into his cor. Jiang Yanshen hugged her with his long arms, thinking that she was frightened by the drowning. Hisrge palm stroked her backfortingly and he said in a tense and low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, it¡¯s fine¡­ I won¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡±
For some reason, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but want to cry. It was clearly a dream, but she felt very sad. Too sad. Perhaps it felt too real. Jiang Yanshen patiently coaxed her for a while before Lin Qingqian slowly stopped sobbing. Her eyes and throat hurt from crying. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was careless.¡± His low and hoarse voice was mixed with guilt. He had been careless and thought that he could protect her by her side. However, he had put her in danger and she almost lost her life. Lin Qingqian leaned into his arms and shook her head. Her misty eyes nced at him. Jiang Yanshen seemed to know what she wanted to ask. ¡°The railing is broken. They didn¡¯t do anything to it. I didn¡¯t expect you to fall into the sea.¡± In other words, this was purely an ident. Lin Qingqian thought about the people on the cruise ship. They were all staff, and not many people knew that they had decided to go to Sanya to shoot the wedding photos. Even Suisui didn¡¯t know. It was probably really an ident and she did not have to think too much about it. Seeing that she was looking down and didn¡¯t know what she was thinking, Jiang Yanshen said, ¡°You¡¯ve been unconscious for three hours. Do you want to eat?¡± It was already past lunchtime. Lin Qingqian still shook her head. She had no appetite and did not want to eat anything. Jiang Yanshen: ¡°Then I¡¯ll get you a ss of water?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a few seconds before letting go of him. Jiang Yanshen stood up and walked to the table to pick up the kettle and cup to pour water. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red eyes from crying stared at him, as if he would disappear in the blink of an eye. As she recalled the scene of the washroom in her dream, ayer of coldness involuntarily spread across her spine. Why did she have such a dream? Jiang Yanshen was clearly not that kind of person, and he had never revealed such a terrifying expression. Jiang Yanshen returned with a cup. Seeing that her expression was not right, he touched her forehead. ¡°Are you still feeling unwell?¡± His warm fingertips pressed against her forehead. Lin Qingqian shook her head and held the cup with both hands to drink the water to ease the astringent pain in her throat. Jiang Yanshen took the empty cup and said gently, ¡°Do you still want to drink?¡± She still shook her head and looked at him hesitantly. ¡°I want to go home.¡± Her voice was weak and hoarse. Jiang Yanshen agreed without thinking. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Now.¡± Lin Qingqian held his hand, her voice a little anxious. For some reason, she felt an inexplicable panic in her heart. She felt that something was about to happen. In this unfamiliar city, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, she was in no mood to admire it. She didn¡¯t have a sense of security and only wanted to return to Lan City and Begonia Courtyard. Perhaps she would feel more at ease when she returned to a familiar ce. ¡°I¡¯ll get Lu Yuan to book the ne tickets now.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her cold fingertips andpletely followed her wishes. It was as if if she said she wanted the moon in the sky at this moment, he would pluck it without hesitation. When Lu Yuan received the notice, he booked a first-ss cabin to return to Lan City in two hours. Lin Qingqian had not spoken much since she woke up. When she looked at him with her red eyes, she seemed to be thinking about something. Sometimes, her heart ached, and sometimes, she probed¡­ Jiang Yanshen only thought that she was frightened by this experience. After all, this time was different from thest wildfire and earthquake. She had really almost died. The originally happy wedding photoshoot ended in a sorry state. No one mentioned it and took the flight back to Lan City. The heating on the ne was a little low. Jiang Yanshen asked the air stewardess for a nket and covered Lin Qingqian. ¡°Go to sleep. We¡¯ll be in Lan City when you wake up.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice was as maic and pleasant as a radio emcee. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him. Her red lips curled up slightly, and her voice was hoarse. ¡°Ah Yan, read to me.¡± Now, as soon as she closed her eyes, the sound of the waves echoed in her ears. The scenes from her dream appeared in her mind, and she panicked. Jiang Yanshen nodded. When he saw a magazine on the small table, he flipped it open and read it to her gently. This was a travel magazine that introduced the scenery of Sanya. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and maic voice sounded in her ears, as if it could wash away the sound of the sea. The images in her mind gradually blurred, leaving only the scene of their first meeting¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyelids were a little heavy. Her curled and long eyshes trembled a few times before they finally fell slowly. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t know how long he read for. When he came back to his senses, he realized that she had already fallen asleep. Her pale face was tightly furrowed, and her red lips were pursed tightly, as if she was worried about something. Thinking of the scene of her falling into the sea, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s heart tightened. He leaned in front of her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. Lin Qingqian was sleeping soundly and did not know that she had been kissed by Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yanshen put down the magazine and walked to the washroom. The washroom on the ne was narrow, and there was no room to turn around. He could not even straighten his back. He bent down and stood in front of the basin to wash his hands. Suddenly, the ne jolted, and his body swayed. His head felt like it had been hammered by something. It hurt so much that it was about to split. He covered his head before he could wipe the water off his hands. When he looked up, he saw a face in the mirror¡­ It was familiar and unfamiliar. He frowned tightly and squeezed out two words. ¡°¡­It¡¯s you.¡± During the three hours that Lin Qingqian was in the hospital, Lu Yuan went to investigate, but he did not find anything¡­ The itinerary this time was very secretive, so Li Gun and the others did not Imow at all. The man in the mirror looked back at him quietly and did not say anything. He only smiled devilishly. A wave of anger swept through his chest. Without thinking, he punched the ss and warned in a fierce voice, ¡°I won¡¯t allow you to hurt her!¡± With a crash, the mirror instantly shattered and fell everywhere. The sound from the washroom attracted the attention of the air stewardess. Soon, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Passenger, what happened? Are you alright?¡± The washroom was silent. There was no response. ¡°Passenger, can you please open the door?¡± The stewardess knocked again. There was still no response. When the stewardess was about to knock on the door for the third time, the bathroom door suddenly opened. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite and handsome features were indifferent, and his eyes were as cold as des. The air stewardess saw the broken mirror on the ground and his right hand was bleeding. She said in surprise, ¡°Passenger, your hand is bleeding. Please wait a moment. I¡¯ll contact the medic now¡­¡± ¡°No need!¡± Jiang Yanshen squeezed out two words coldly and turned to walk back to his seat. The air stewardess was stunned for a moment. When she reacted, she immediately arranged for a temporary sign to be hung on the washroom door. Then, she contacted the medic and told her that a first-ss passenger was injured. They found tools to clean up the broken mirrors to avoid affecting the other passengers. Jiang Yanshen returned to his seat. Lin Qingqian was still sleeping and didn¡¯t wake up. Soon, the medic came over with a medicine box. Before she could speak, she was stopped by Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gaze. Jiang Yanshen gestured for her to give him the medicine box. The medic hesitated for a moment before cing the medicine box on the small table. Her low voice could only be heard by the two of them. ¡°Mr. Jiang, please let me know if you need anything.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded slightly. After the medic left, he opened the medicine box and wiped the blood off his hands with disinfectant cotton. The wound was not very deep. It was just a scratch on the surface. It would be fine after a simple disinfection and a band-aid. His deep gazended on Lin Qingqian¡¯s small face, and his loving gaze seemed to want to swallow her up. The nended at Lan City¡¯s international airport. Lin Qingqian was also awake and noticed the band-aid on his hand. ¡°What happened to your hand?¡± What happened to him when she fell asleep? ¡°I lost my bnce on the ne when I went to the toilet and injured myself. I¡¯m fine!¡± Jiang Yanshen exined concisely. When Lin Qingqian was in a daze, she did feel the bump of the ne. Her bright eyes looked at his hand against the window and she couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°I feel that we¡¯ve really been a little unlucky recently. Thest time we went to the temple to pray was useless.¡± Jiang Yanshen unbuckled her seat belt and pulled her off the ne. As they walked, he said, ¡°It¡¯s just a small injury. Perhaps if vou didn¡¯t pray, the consequences will be even more serious.¡± Lin Qingqian suddenly felt that what he said made sense. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go again in two days. Perhaps the money I donatedst time wasn¡¯t enough, so I¡¯ll donate more this time.¡± Jiang Yanshen: ¡°¡­¡± He just wanted tofort her. Why did she take it seriously?! A socialist warning! Lu Yuan informed the auntie in advance. When they arrived home, the auntie had already prepared dinner. There was chicken porridge with a few appetizing and refreshing side dishes. Lin Qingqian, who originally had no appetite, couldn¡¯t help but eat two bowls. Her empty stomach was filled with hot porridge, and it felt like the coldness had disappeared with it. Her entire body began to warm up. When Jiang Yanshen came out of the shower, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the sofa, hugging her cell phone as if she was scrolling through something. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you resting?¡± He walked forward and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. Lin Qingqian put down her phone. ¡°S.T.¡¯s official website has already released the news of the fashion designpetition. I want to modify the design draft again tonight.¡± After S.T. released the official news of thepetition, they were only given a week to submit the manuscript. She couldn¡¯t waste any time. Although she had drawn the design draft in advance, designers had a habit of wanting their designs to be perfect, so they would modify them over and over again. ¡°It¡¯s already nine o¡¯clock. Rest first and revise it tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yanshen clearly didn¡¯t want her to revise the manuscript. ¡°But I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him, her red lips pouting slightly. ¡°I slept too much during the day.¡± Jiang Yanshen took the phone from her hand and threw it on the sofa. He picked her up horizontally and said as he walked, ¡°Then let¡¯s do something that can make you fall asleep.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Wasn¡¯t it a little too much for you to treat a person who had almost died like this?? Chapter 339 - 339: Untitled Chapter 339 - 339: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The next day, Lin Qingqian went to work as usual. She did not tell Suisui and the others about what had happened in Sanya, afraid that they would be worried. However, during the meeting, Han Liubai looked at her differently a few times, as if he was worried about something. After Lin Qingqian finished her work, she returned to the office and modified her design draft again. Before she got off work, she sent it to the email address designated for the S.T Fashion Design Competition. Suisui skipped in in a light yellow sweater. After the new year, her little face was even rounder and chubbier. ¡°Where have you been these past two days?¡± Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with gossip as she stared at her. ¡°Did you have a sweet time with Director Jiang?¡±
¡°If you¡¯re so free, why don¡¯t you go and help your brother fight back?¡± Lin Qingqian calmly changed the topic. Suisui pouted. ¡°Hey, let¡¯s not mention it. Big Brother doesn¡¯t allow me to fight against the anti-fans on the rankings. He said that the radiation from the cell phone isn¡¯t good for the child.¡± She pointed at her t stomach. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the extraordinary Superstar Lu to have such a meticulous and considerate side.¡± Suisui was so proud that she looked like she had been praised. She raised her chin. ¡°My Big Brother has always been meticulous and considerate. Moreover, he¡¯s very serious about his work now. He said that he wants to be a good role model for the child!¡± Lin Qingqian did not want to hear her praise Lu Qinshang and changed the topic. ¡°By the way, are you free tomorrow?¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Come with me to the temple again.¡± Suisui looked at her suspiciously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you want to ask for a child¡­ Lin Qingqian rolled her eyes at her. ¡°Just say if you¡¯re going or not?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going for a prenatal checkup tomorrow.¡± Suisui shrugged innocently. ¡°So I¡¯m here to take half a day off from you.¡± ¡°Approved. You can get off work now.¡± Lin Qingqian pointed at the door, as if asking her to leave quickly in disdain. ¡°Thank you!¡± Suisui held the table and stood up to leave. She thought of something and turned around. ¡°By the way, apany me to the mother and child shop when you¡¯re freeter. I realized that the babies¡¯ things are so cute!¡± From the looks of it, not only was she Lu Qinshang¡¯s brainless fan, but she was also about to be her baby¡¯s brainless fan. ¡°Got it!¡± Lin Qingqian agreed. Only then did Suisui go out. Han Liubai happened to walk in. The smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips faded a little. ¡°Xiao Bai, why are you looking for me?¡± Han Liubai nodded and handed her the design draft in his hand. ¡°These are thetest designs. Take a look.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t take it. ¡°Xiao Bai, I believe in your work ability. You don¡¯t have to show it to me every time.¡± Seeing that she didn¡¯t want to look, Han Liubai did not force her. He said gently, ¡°I heard you and Suisui say at the door that you wanted to go to the temple to pray?¡± Lin Qingqian did not expect him to hear it all. She nodded. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m praying for peace and safety.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow,¡± Han Liubai said gently with a smile. ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­ ¡°I¡¯ve never been there before. I want to take a look too. Perhaps I¡¯ll have the inspiration to make a better design.¡± There was a faint smile on his handsome features as he looked at her sincerely. Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment before nodding slowly. ¡°Alright then. See you at the temple entrance tomorrow morning.¡± Hearing her voice, the light in Han Liubai¡¯s eyes clearly lit up. He stood up and said, ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go back to work first.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and watched him leave the office. The smile on her lips darkened. She pinched her earlobe in distress. She didn¡¯t know how to exin this to the big vinegar bucket at home.. Chapter 340 - 340: Didn ‘t You Say You Love Me Very Much? You’re Willing to Do Anything for Me? Chapter 340 - 340: Didn ¡®t You Say You Love Me Very Much? You¡¯re Willing to Do Anything for Me? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions In the evening, Jiang Yanshen pushed aside a cocktail party and returned to Begonia Courtyard. When he entered and did not see Lin Qingqian, he changed his shoes and asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Madam?¡± The auntie bent down and packed the shoes into the shoe cab. She replied, ¡°Madam is in the backyard.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and walked straight to the backyard. From afar, he watched her wear a thin sweater and roll up her sleeves as she busied herself in front of the flower bed.
The temperature in Lan City had risen again, so the small sheds were no longer needed. As soon as Lin Qingqian lifted the thermal film, she saw thin and dense small green buds sprouting from the soil of the flower bed. They were growing happily. There was suddenly an additional warmth on her body. She turned her head and heard Jiang Yanshen¡¯s reproachful voice. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of catching a cold dressed like this?¡± Lin Qingqian did not mind and said happily, ¡°What exactly did you nt? They look so good!¡± Jiang Yanshen threw away the thing in her hand and said in a low voice, ¡°You¡¯ll know when they grow up.¡± As he spoke, he pulled her into the house. Lin Qingqian asked relentlessly, ¡°What exactly is that? It doesn¡¯t look like cabbages to me¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know in two months.¡± Jiang Yanshen was still unwilling to answer. ¡°Oh, is it edible?¡± He refused to answer, so she could only push it aside. Jiang Yanshen said helplessly, ¡°Are you asking for a kiss?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯m not, I didn¡¯t. You¡¯re talking nonsense!!¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled her to the washroom to wash her hands. Lin Qingqian nced at him carefully with her bright eyes and seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°Um¡­ Suisui has to go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned off the tap and wiped her hands with a tissue without looking uD. Lin Qingqian continued, ¡°So Xiao Bai will apany me to the temple to offer incense.¡± Jiang Yanshen paused. A few secondster, he hummed faintly and didn¡¯t react anymore. Lin Qingqian. His reaction was so calm. It did not seem like him. Jiang Yanshen threw the tissue into the trash can and saw her sizing up him suspiciously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I should be the one asking you what¡¯s wrong.¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip. ¡°Didn¡¯t you dislike Xiao Bai?¡± This time, when he heard that Xiao Bai wanted to apany her to offer incense, he was actually so calm. It was difficult not to suspect that¡­ he was pretending! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were calm, and his voice was almost emotionless. ¡°Why should I argue with someone who doesn¡¯t have many years to live?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and walked like a sofa. He was not surprised that she did not know anything. ¡°There¡¯s something wrong with his heart. He shouldn¡¯t be able tost more than a few years.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart sank. She had always known that Xiao Bai had heart disease, but she didn¡¯t know that it was so serious. ¡°How did you know?¡± Jiang Yanshen handed the cup to her without saying anything. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes. ¡°You investigated Xiao Bai.¡± The cup in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand was a couple¡¯s cup. He took a sip of the warm water. ¡°I¡¯ve investigated everyone in yourpany.¡± Lin Qingqian: Her heart skipped a beat, but she was not surprised a few secondster. Jiang Yanshen waspletely capable of doing such a thing. Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s grip on the cup tightened involuntarily. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I was just thinking about Xiao Bail s illness. I didn¡¯t expect it to be so serious. No wonder he refused to participate in the designpetition this time. His body can¡¯t take it anymore, right?¡± ¡°Your heart aches?¡± His voice tightened, and his low and hoarse voice was mixed with unconceble jealousy. ¡°Who was the one who said that we shouldn¡¯t bicker with a person who doesn¡¯t have many years to live?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him from the corner of her eye. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed a few times, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian put down the cup and held his hand. Their fingers were like the roots of two big trees intertwined tightly. ¡°Xiao Bai is my colleague and friend. He saved me a few times, so I¡¯m naturally worried about him.¡± Her gentle voice paused for a moment before she said, ¡°But you know who I have in my heart.¡± Other than the fact that she had written some poems for her male ssmates when she was young and ignorant, Jiang Yanshen was the only man she had ever loved. She would never love anyone else like she loved Jiang Yanshen in this life. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly. His usually cold eyes were burning with passion as he looked at her. His voice was low. ¡°I know, but do you know yourself?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Qingqian looked confused, not understanding what he meant. The auntie came over to ask if they could start eating. Jiang Yanshen pulled her hand and stood up to walk to the dining table. This topic naturally passed. At night, the crescent moon hanging outside the window emitted a cold light that scattered on the floor, entuating the silence of the room. Jiang Yanshen got up from the bed, took out some clothes from the closet, and put them on before walking out of the room. The exercise before bed was too intense. Lin Qingqian fell into a deep sleep at this moment,pletely unaware that the man who was originally carrying her had already left. The empty vi was lit up with orange light, and the floor was covered with a thick carpet, so he did not make any sound when he walked down casually. When he walked out of the vi, there was a car parked at the door. The man opened the car door and said respectfully, ¡°Sir.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded, a devilish smile on his lips. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± It was already past spring, and the temperature in Lan City at night was still so cold that people shivered. However, there were always a few ces in this city that were as lively as spring all year round. It was close to midnight, and it was the time for the night owls to party. The man walked to the sofa and sat down. He gestured to the bartender, who quickly brought over a ss of whiskey. The sofa was ced back to back. He picked up his ss and turned to look at the figure behind him. He raised his ss and said, ¡°Cheers!¡± Ming Xiao was holding a ss of red wine. She turned her head to look at his exquisite and charming side profile, the infatuation in her eyes revealed. Her red lips were close to his ear, and her breath was warm, but her words were as hair-raising as a venomous snake. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that she¡¯s not dead.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips held a devilish smile. ¡°I¡¯ve never wanted her to die.¡± Ming Xiao was stunned. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a familiar and annoying voice. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand that was holding the cup froze. When he looked up, the smile on his lips had already been suppressed. His cold eyes stared at Li Ruzhu, who was walking over. Li Ruzhu was just in a bad mood and came to the bar to drink and rx. She did not expect to meet Jiang Yanshen here. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, why are you here sote at night? Are you¡­ in a bad mood from arguing with Lin Qingqian?¡± Li Ruzhu looked at him excitedly. She knew that Big Brother Yanshen would get tired of that b*tch Lin Qingqian sooner orter. Jiang Yanshen stared at her without saying anything. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, don¡¯t be unhappy. I¡¯ll drink with you.¡± Li Ruzhu looked at him hopefully, afraid that she would be rejected. ¡°Alright.¡± Two words spilled out of his thin lips, like an imperial edict. When Li Ruzhu heard this, she immediately sat down beside him and asked the bartender to bring the wine over. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, here¡¯s to you¡­¡± Li Ruzhu toasted him with a ss of vodka. Jiang Yanshen twirled the wine ss with his well-defined fingers and nodded slightly. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp. Seeing that he had finished it and she had finished it herself, Li Ruzhu took the initiative to pour another cup. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, the wine ss in her hand was snatched away. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes nced at her. ¡°Do you like me very much?¡± Li Ruzhu was stunned. She did not expect him to ask so bluntly. Her face immediately flushed red as she nodded. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, I¡¯ve always liked you very much. No, it¡¯s not like. It¡¯s love¡­ I love you very much¡­¡± ¡°If you love me so much, you must be willing to do anything for me, right?¡± he asked again. Li Ruzhu nodded wildly. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Follow me.¡± Jiang Yanshen put down his wine ss and walked out of the bar. Li Ruzhu did not know if it was because she had drunk alcohol, but she felt like she had suddenly been hit in the head by a 50 million yuan grand prize. She was dizzy. Looking at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s back, she was stunned for a few seconds before she quickly reacted and stood up to follow him¡­ Ming Xiao shook the goblet in her hand gently and her eyes swept across the backs of the people walking out one after another. A disdainful smile appeared on her red lips as shemented casually, ¡°Idiot.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t use the front door. Instead, he used the back door and walked along the back alley. Li Ruzhu jogged after him. She was only wearing a dress and was so cold that she couldn¡¯t help but sneeze. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen, where are you taking me?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Jiang Yanshen strode forward, not caring if she could keep up. After walking for about ten minutes, the end of the alley was a blind spot. Someone had piled up some trash and broken furniture. He stopped and turned back. ¡°This will do.¡± Li Ruzhu, whose hands were trembling from the cold, was stunned. ¡°What?¡± Under the moonlight, there was no warmth on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome features. His lips curled up slightly, and his voice was cold. ¡°Take off your clothes.¡± Li Ruzhu looked around with a disdainful expression. ¡®Why do you want this ce? Big Brother Yanshen, this ce is so dirty. Why don¡¯t we go to a hotel.. She reached out and grabbed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s sleeve. Her face was red from the cold, and she pretended to be shy as if she was acting coquettish. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gazended on her hand. The disgust in his eyes disappeared in a sh as he said coldly, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you love me very much? Aren¡¯t you willing to do anything for me?¡± After a pause, he said coldly, ¡°Forget it if you¡¯re unwilling.¡± With that, he turned to leave. Li Ruzhu hurriedly grabbed his arm. ¡°I, I¡¯m willing¡­ Big Brother Yanshen, don¡¯t go.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned around to look at her, his gazending in front of her¡­ Li Ruzhu understood what he meant. She pulled his hand away andnded in front of her with a trembling hand. She slowly pulled open the hidden zipper¡­ Jiang Yanshen turned his head and didn¡¯t look at her. He sneezed twice at Li Ruzhu and wanted to snuggle up to him to hide. He said coldly, ¡°Fang Wu.¡± A man walked out of the darkness with three drunkards behind him and pushed them fiercely in front of Li Ruzhu. Li Ruzhu was frightened by the sudden person. She hurriedly squatted down and hugged herself, her tears falling. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen acted as if he did not hear her. His sharp gazended on Fang Wu. ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. I¡¯ll go back to the car first.¡± Without waiting for Fang Wu to speak, he walked away, as if taking another look would dirty his eyes. ¡°Big Brother Yanshen¡­¡± Seeing that he was about to leave, Li Ruzhu stood up and wanted to chase after him.. Chapter 341 - 341: Calling the Police Chapter 341 - 341: Calling the Police Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Fang Wu blocked her wav and looked at the three drunk men with a cold gaze- ¡°She¡¯s yours.¡± When Li Ruzhu heard his words, her face immediately turned even paler than the moonlight. When the three drunkards heard his words, their eyes immediately lit up with excitement and evil. ¡°No, don¡¯te over¡­¡± Li Ruzhu watched as the three burly men approached her. She kept shaking her head, her face filled with tears. There was an ice-cold wall behind her, and she wanted to run away from them.
The man closest to her grabbed her hair and pulled her back, pressing her against the cold and dirty debris. There was the sound of metal colliding, and the hand of sin surged towards her like a tide¡­ Her miserable screams lingered in this silent alley for a long time. Fang Wu returned to the car by the road and said respectfully, ¡°Sir¡­¡± The man sitting in the car was holding a cigarette in his hand. Red sparks were burning, and Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep and cold voice came from the white fog. ¡°Remember to send her back. Don¡¯t let her freeze to death in this cold weather.¡± Fang Wu: ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep puff of the cigarette, and smoke seeped out from the tip of his nose. He said, ¡°It¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s no audience for such an exciting scene. What do you think?¡± Fang Wu thought for a moment. ¡°I¡¯ll inform the media.¡± Jiang Yanshen stubbed out his cigarette and threw it on the ground. ¡°Let¡¯s go. It¡¯s time to go back.¡± Fang Wu got into the car and sent him back. The next day, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen were having breakfast when their cell phones suddenly rang¡­ The call was from Suisui. Just as she ced the phone to her ear, Suisui¡¯s scream came through the radio. ¡°Qianqian¡­ Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eardrums almost burst from the shout. She moved her phone away and waited for Suisui to stop shouting before saying softly, ¡°Why are you shouting so early in the morning?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you watch the news?¡± Suisui asked excitedly and in surprise. ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian picked up the ss of milk and took small sips. Suisui: ¡°This morning, Li Ruzhu was discovered at the door of her house and was even photographed by the media. Now, her photo is everywhere on the Inte.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t think too much about it and said lightly, ¡°What¡¯s there to spread?¡± ¡°Silly Qianqian. She was thrown at the door of her house naked. One look and you can tell that she was done in!¡± Suisui couldn¡¯t hide the schadenfreude in her tone. ¡°The heavens really punished this b*tch!¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and subconsciously nced at the man sitting beside her. His exquisite facial features were as calm as ever without any ripples. ¡°Do you know who did it?¡± Her first reaction was not happiness, but she wanted to know who did it. ¡°How would I know!¡± Suisui said in a nonchnt tone, ¡°Who cares who did it? In any case, the oue of an evil woman like Li Ruzhu is retribution! She doesn¡¯t deserve sympathy. If someone really messed her up, I want to call them heroes.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s thin and curled eyshes trembled slightly. Her fingers tightened around her cell phone and she did not say anything. ¡°I can¡¯t talk to you. I¡¯m going to the hospital for my prenatal checkup!¡± After Suisui hung up, Lin Qingqian put down her phone and looked at the calm Jiang Yanshen¡­ Jiang Yanshen seemed to know what she was thinking. ¡°I didn¡¯t do it. I was with you all nightst night.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t seem surprised at all.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t turn on the speaker, but Suisui was so loud that he heard everything. ¡°Her life and death have nothing to do with me. Why should I be surprised?¡± Jiang Yanshen said coldly. Lin Qingqian thought about it carefully and realized that it made sense. He had been with her all nightst night and did not have the time or motive to do so. The two of them had just finished breakfast and Lin Qingqian was about to go to the temple to meet up with Xiao Bai when the doorbell suddenly rang¡­ The auntie went to open the door. After a while, two men in police uniforms walked in. One of them said, ¡°Mr. Jiang Yanshen, someone called the police and said that you instructed someone to rape her. Pleasee with us now.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. Her bright eyes subconsciously looked at the man beside her, and she couldn¡¯t hide the worry and uneasiness in her eyes. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s movements only paused for a second before he continued putting on his clothes. He replied indifferently, ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± Lin Qingqian held his hand and stared at him with her bright eyes, her fingertips tightening. Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her, his clear eyes flowing with gentleness. His thin lips pursed slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be fine.¡± ¡°I can prove your innocence. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Lin Qingqian was a little flustered just now, but she had already calmed down. She believed that Ah Yan would not do such a thing. Jiang Yanshen looked at her and was silent for a few seconds before nodding. ¡°Let Chen Mu send you there.¡± He was a suspect and had to go in the police car. He did not want Lin Qingqian to take the police car too. Lin Qingqian nodded and let go of his hand. She watched him leave and bit her lower lip. In an instant, countless thoughts shed through her mind. First, she asked Chen Mu to prepare a car and go to the police station. Then, she called Lu Yuan and asked him to bring hiswyer to the police station, but he could not make a scene. The media could not know about this. Otherwise, it would have a certain impact on the reputation of the Tianyue Group and Jiang Yanshen. In addition, she asked Lu Yuan to find the security officers of the vi to pull out the surveince cameras around the vi and send them to the police station. Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind was filled with these questions, so she forgot her agreement with Han Liubai. Outside the temple, Han Liubai was wearing a beige coat and white pants today. He stood tall and handsome. The visitorsing in and out could not help but take a few more nces at him. The younger women even saw his cheeks turn red and their hearts fluttered. Han Liubai didn¡¯t seem to notice that he was being watched. His clear eyes stared at the entrance without blinking, but he still didn¡¯t see Lin Qingqian. Time passed bit by bit. The sun was already climbing higher and higher. It sat high in the sky and was a little scorching in midair, causing his cheeks to turn slightly red and his forehead to ooze with sweat. Finally, he could not help but take out his phone and call Lin Qingqian¡­ He waited coldly as the ringtone went on for a long time, but no one picked up. In the end, the call ended automatically. His clear eyes dimmed bit by bit. In the end, he retracted his gaze and turned to walk in first. As soon as the previous devotee left, he Imelt on the futon and pressed his palms together to look at the benevolent Buddha. ¡°Buddha, please bless her with safety, health, joy, and peace.¡± With that, he kowtowed three times sincerely to the Buddha. He stood up and was about to put the money into the merit box when a withered hand suddenly blocked the gap of the merit box. Han Liubai looked up at the monk in the kasaya with a puzzled expression. ¡°Master¡­¡± The master¡¯s beard was pale, and his face was calm as he shook his head at him¡­ He pressed his palms together and chanted a scripture that he did not understand. Han Liubai seemed to have realized something and his breathing stopped. His face turned paler and paler. He looked at the Buddha¡¯s golden body and his eyes gradually turned red. ¡°Could it be¡­ that I did something wrong? The scripture in the master¡¯s mouth paused. He looked at him with a benevolent gaze and only said, ¡®Yesterday, all kinds of things died. Today, all kinds of things are born.¡± With that, he turned around and left. Han Liubai stood rooted to the ground in a daze and didn¡¯te back to his senses for a long time. Although Jiang Yanshen was a suspect, because of his identity and Gu Xici¡¯s rtionship, the police¡¯s attitude towards him was still considered gentle. Even the routine questions were not too aggressive. Lu Yuan had invited the most famous criminalwyer in Lan City to be at the side. If Jiang Yanshen did not want to answer the questions, he could remain silent and have thewyer answer for him. Lu Yuan brought the security officers and surveince cameras to the police station. Lin Qingqian could be a witness¡­ Li Ruzhu had called the police and insisted that Jiang Yanshen had instructed someone to gang-rape her. This matter had embarrassed Li Dashunpletely, and Li Ruzhu did not listen to him and insisted on calling the police. Naturally, he did not want to care about her, so she was alone when she came to the police station. Knowing that Lin Qingqian testified for Jiang Yanshen, she firmly insisted they had provided false testimony. It was clear that Jiang Yanshen had gone to 1942st night, witnessed by many people. The police also sent someone to 1942 to ask, but the attendant and bartender said that they had never seen Jiang Yanshen. Even after checking the surveince footage of the barst night, they could not find Jiang Yanshen. Other than Li Ruzhu, no one else saw Jiang Yanshen appear in 1942st night, and he had no motive. Li Ruzhu kept saying that Jiang Yanshen was the one who led her to the back alley, but if Jiang Yanshen really wanted to deal with her, there was no need for him to appear personally and harm her¡­ The police had no evidence against Jiang Yanshen, so thewyer bailed him out. When Lin Qingqian saw himing out of the interrogation room, her suspended heart finally rxed. She went forward and held his hand. ¡°It¡¯s fine. The surveince cameras and security officers can prove your innocence.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and touched her worried face. ¡°I¡¯ve made you worry.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and shook her head. She held hisrge hand tightly with both hands and thought to herself, As long as you¡¯re fine. Li Ruzhu had juste out of the interrogation room. When she saw Jiang Yanshen, her eyes were no longer filled with admiration, but with hatred and anger¡­ ¡°Demon! Jiang Yanshen, you demon, why are you doing this to me?¡± She was so agitated that she wanted to rush towards Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian subconsciously took a step forward and blocked in front of Jiang Yanshen. Li Ruzhu had only taken a few steps when she was pulled back by two policewomen¡­ Jiang Yanshen watched with a calm expression as Li Ruzhu went crazy and insulted him. He did not even frown. ¡°It¡¯s him. He was the one who found people to rape me¡­ Why didn¡¯t you arrest him? Why didn¡¯t you arrest him?!¡± Li Ruzhu kept struggling and roaring hysterically. She was very agitated. Gu Xici stood at the side in casual clothes- Although rape was also a criminal case, he did not participate in this case because of his rtionship with Jiang Yanshen. His pair of eagle-like eyes lingered between Li Ruzhu and Jiang Yanshen. As Jiang Yanshen¡¯s friend, he believed that Jiang Yanshen would not do such a thing, but Li Ruzhu¡­ did not look like she was lying. What was so fishy about this case? ¡°Captain Gu¡­¡± The police officer who had finished answering the call walked over and said, ¡°I just received a call saying that we caught the three drunk menst night.. They admitted to raping Li Ruzhu, but¡­¡± Chapter 342 - 342: Hatred Borne From Love Chapter 342 - 342: Hatred Borne From Love Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions He paused and looked at Jiang Yanshen without continuing. ¡°But what?¡± Gu Xici asked with a frown. ¡°But they said that they were drunk and saw the victim, so theymitted the crime in the valley on impulse due to alcohol influence. No one instructed them tomit the crime.¡± Hearing his words, Lin Qingqian suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, but Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was still cold, as if all of this had nothing to do with him. Li Ruzhu was dumbfounded. Tears flowed down her face, and her face was filled with disbelief.
After less than 30 seconds of silence, she shouted hysterically, ¡°It¡¯s you¡­ You bribed them¡­ Jiang Yanshen, you demon. To think that I loved you so much. You actually treated me like this¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen was expressionless and pretended not to hear her curses. He held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and bade Gu Xici farewell before leaving. Li Ruzhu¡¯s mournful eyes were filled with red threads as she stared at Lin Qingqian¡¯s back and cursed, ¡°Lin Qingqian, he¡¯s a demon. You b*tch won¡¯t have a good ending in the future.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks, his eyes emitting a terrifying coldness¡­ Lin Qingqian held his hand tightly and stared at his handsome side profile gently with her bright eyes. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s go eat.¡¯ Jiang Yanshen turned his head and looked into her eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded and pulled her away quickly. Gu Xici nced at the crazy Li Ruzhu with his hawk-like eyes and said impatiently, ¡°Bring her to the interrogation room and inform her family to pick her up.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the office. He flipped through the documents and reports sent by his subordinates on his desk. ¡°Boss, what¡¯s wrong? Your expression doesn¡¯t look right¡­¡± ¡°How is it strange?¡± the subordinate asked. Gu Xici leaned back and narrowed his eyes. He said slowly, ¡°All the evidence proves that Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t be present, but why does Li Ruzhu insist that Jiang Yanshen directed it?¡± The subordinate thought for a few seconds and said, ¡°Perhaps she wants to take the opportunity to take revenge? After all, she pursued Jiang Yanshen bitterly for many years without any results. It¡¯s very difficult to ept such a thing suddenly happening. It¡¯s normal for love to turn into hatred.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Gu Xici exhaled smoke thoughtfully. He felt that there was something strange about this case. Those three people admitted it too quickly. ¡°Boss, isn¡¯t Jiang Yanshen your brother? Don¡¯t you believe him?¡± The subordinate muttered as he sorted out the case information. ¡°He¡¯s so rich. Loads of people will help him if he wants to do anything. Is there a need for him to appear and cause trouble for himself?¡± Gu Xici nced at him and did not say anything¡­ It wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t believe Jiang Yanshen, but¡­ Forget it, perhaps he was thinking too much. In the restaurant, Jiang Yanshen asked Lin Qingqian to order while he called Lu Yuan and asked him to deal with Li Ruzhu¡¯s matter to prevent the media from finding out and causing amotion. After ordering, Lin Qingqian gave the menu to the attendant and suddenly thought of something very important. ¡°Oh no, I forgot about Xiao Bai.¡± She hurriedly called Xiao Bai. The phone rang for a long time but no one picked up. Just as she was about to hang up, it was suddenly picked up. A familiar and weak voice came from the phone. ¡°Hello, Qingqian¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xiao Bai! Something suddenly happened in the morning. I didn¡¯t go to the temple and forgot to call you. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not stupid. I came back by myself when I didn¡¯t see you.¡± Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that his voice did not sound angry. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ll treat you to a mealter.¡± ¡°Alright, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up first.¡± ¡°Bye.¡± Lin Qingqian hung up and met the man¡¯s ck eyes. Her lips curved. ¡°Fortunately, Xiao Bai isn¡¯t angry.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and hummed faintly without saying anything. Han Liubai put down his phone and couldn¡¯t help but cough. The nurse took the cell phone away and put it down. She said gently, ¡°Mr. Han, you need to rest well. Don¡¯t look at the cell phone.¡± Han Liubai did not say anything and nodded gently. When the nurse walked out of the ward, Xu Wan happened to enter. Her expression was not good. ¡°President Han, I just spoke to the professor on the phone. He said that your health is getting worse and worse. He suggests that you return to Ennd as soon as possible.¡± After all, his body had always been treated by the professor¡¯s team. Han Liubai lowered his long eyshes and remained silent. ¡°President Han¡­¡¯ Xu Wan wanted to say something, but he interrupted her. ¡°Wan, I don¡¯t want to go back yet.¡± ¡°President Han.¡± Xu Wan frowned slightly. ¡°But your body¡­¡± ¡°I know my body.¡± After saying that, Han Liubai couldn¡¯t help but cough again. Xu Wan walked to the bedside table and poured him a ss of warm water. Han Liubai stopped coughing and put down the cup after drinking a few mouthfuls of water. ¡°I¡¯ve found out that the Ming Corporation has been acting frequently recently. Someone said that Ming Yuan has always wanted to devour the Tianyue Group. Even if we don¡¯t take action, someone will. You canpletely return to Ennd to recuperate.¡± Xu Wan¡¯s gentle voice echoed in the ward. Han Liu¡¯s long eyshes trembled slightly. He pursed his bloodless lips and remained silent. Xu Wan was silent for a few seconds. ¡°Is it because of Lin Qingqian?¡± Because of Lin Qingqian, President Han was unwilling to return to Ennd. Han Liubai looked up at her. ¡°Lan City is about to change. I can¡¯t leave now.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he added silently, ¡°I can¡¯t leave her side at this time.¡± ¡°What about your body?¡± Xu Wan asked. ¡°I¡¯m already used to it after so many years. Just take care of it carefully.¡± The corners of Han Liubai¡¯s mouth curled into a forced smile as he said lightly, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to spout nonsense in front of Qingqian. Otherwise, you¡¯ll return to Ennd immediately.¡± Xu Wan bit her lip. ¡°Yes, President Han.¡± ¡°What did you find out about Li Ruzhu?¡± He changed the topic and asked. Xu Wan: ¡°The three suspects have already confessed. No one can prove that Jiang Yanshen ordered them to do this. He should be fine.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gentle eyes gradually darkened. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°He¡¯s quite fast.¡± ¡°He?¡± Xu Wan was puzzled, not understanding who the ¡°he¡± he was referring to was. Han Liubai came back to his senses. ¡°By the way, how¡¯s the matter of getting someone to protect Qingqian?¡± ¡°We did, but Jiang Yanshen has already sent someone to protect Lin Qingqian. There are also a few people in the dark. They can¡¯t get close to Lin Qingqian.¡± Han Liubai nodded. ¡°Just let them keep an eye on her. Let me know if anything happens.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Seeing that he looked a little tired, Xu Wan said, ¡°President Han, please rest well. Leave everything else to me.¡± Han Liubai nced at her and nodded slowly. With her help, he slowlyy down. Xu Wan carefully covered him with the nket and looked at his IV to confirm that there was no problem before walking out of the ward. When she turned around and closed the door, she looked at the pale face on the bed and her heart ached. You care about her so much, but how much does she know? How much can she repay you? After Li Ruzhu¡¯s matter went viral on the Inte for the entire morning, it disappearedpletely, as if it had never happened. For the sake of his face, Li Dashun locked Li Ruzhu in the room and did not let her out. There were still people watching at the door. On the other hand, he hid at his mistress¡¯s ce to seek peace. His mistress had given birth to a son for him, and he doted on her as if she was his lifeblood. Thinking of how Li Ruzhu, this good-for-nothing, had embarrassed him, he couldn¡¯t help but resent Li Gun. If not for her son, he would not have been so embarrassed. Li Gun had originally called her sisters to y cards at home. When she saw his call, she thought that he was trying to curry favor with her. In the end, as soon as she picked up the call, she was scolded. After hanging up, she did not know what had happened until her sister said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you acknowledge a goddaughter in the past? I heard that she was raped when she went out to drink. She insisted that your son got someone to do it.¡± Li Gun was stunned. She didn¡¯t expect this to happen, but in the next second, she denied it on behalf of Jiang Yanshen. ¡°How is that possible? My Yanshen is a good citizen who knows thew. How can he do such a heartless thing?¡± How could they care if Jiang Yanshen do such a thing? They only wanted to win more money from her today. Li Gun thought about Li Ruzhu and was distracted. She lost three rounds in a row and did not want to y anymore. The other three people were very observant and let her rest well. After winning the money, they left happily. Li Gun asked the servants to clean up the mahjong table and got up to return to her room to change her clothes. She carried her bag and went out. After Jiang Yanshen sent Lin Qingqian to thepany, he returned to thepany for a meeting. When he returned to the office after the meeting, he saw Li Gun sitting on the sofa drinking coffee. When Li Gun saw him, she hurriedly put down her coffee cup and stood up. ¡°Yanshen.. Jiang Yanshen walked to the office and sat down, not looking at her. Li Gun walked to the desk and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, ¡°Were you the one responsible for what happened to Ruzhu?¡± Jiang Yanshen paused in the act of unscrewing the fountain pen. When he looked up at her, the light in his eyes was cold and sharp. ¡°What if I say yes?¡± Li Gun was stunned, and waves appeared in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, ¡°Why did you do this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were cold, and his thin lips emitted a cold voice. ¡°Do I need a reason to deal with the Li Family?¡± ¡°You¡­ you want to deal with the Li Family?¡± Li Gun¡¯s eyes widened. Jiang Yan looked at her deeply and did not say anything. He flipped through the documents and lowered his head to read. Li Gun was silent for a moment before she reacted and said nicely, ¡°Yanshen, I was muddle-headed in the past, but I¡¯ve alreadye to my senses and broken up with Li Dashun. Why do you have to¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up at her. ¡°It¡¯s broken off?¡± The few short words were extremely sarcastic. Did she really think that he didn¡¯t know about her history with Li Dashun all these years? Every time she finished arguing with Li Dashun, she would stick on him like a ster. Because of this, Li Dashun grabbed on and took endlessly from her. And she had no position or principles at all. ¡°Madam Li, let me give you a piece of advice.¡± At this point, he could not even be bothered to call her mother. His thin lips moved, and every word that escaped was wrapped in ice¡­ Chapter 343 - 343: Jiang Yanshen I s Eyes Lit Up. “You Want To Know?â€� Chapter 343: Jiang Yanshen I s Eyes Lit Up. ¡°You Want To Know?¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Be careful not to y with fire and burn yourself.¡± Li Gun was slightly stunned. Before she could react to what he meant, Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and asked her to leave in a cold voice. ¡°I want to work.¡± Li Gun saw his cold expression and felt aggrieved, but she didn¡¯t dare to re up. It was not easy for her to return to the Jiang family, so she couldn¡¯t be chased out again. She picked up her bag and turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen listened to the footsteps getting further and further away before slowly raising his head to look at the empty door. His gazended on theputer monitor¡­ His faint outline was reflected on the closed monitor, and his cold eyes were hidden. His thin voice moved as he muttered to himself, ¡°Li Ruzhu is just the beginning¡­¡± Lin Qingqian only found out that Xiao Bai was hospitalized when she returned to thepany. Thinking of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words, she was really worried and hurriedly finished her work to get Chen Mu to send her to the hospital. Han Liubai was the only one in the ward. There was still an IV in his hand, and his other hand was still flipping through his cell phone, looking at something. ¡ªKnock, knock. A sudden knock on the door attracted his attention. He looked up and saw Lin Qingqian walking in with a basket of fruits. ¡°Why are you here?¡± His voice was weak, and there was a faint smile on his lips. Lin Qingqian put down the fruit basket and sat down on the chair by the bed. Her bright eyes were filled with apology. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I should have called you earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°What has it got to do with you?¡± Han Liubai interrupted her. ¡°It¡¯s because my body is weak. I haven¡¯t been feeling well for the past few days.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°Put your work aside for the time being. I¡¯ll give you half a month off. Rest well.¡± ¡°No need, I¡­¡± ¡°This is your boss¡¯s order.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s arbitrary tone had no intention of negotiating. Seeing her unyielding attitude, Han Liubai couldn¡¯t say anything else. He nodded. ¡°Alright, call me if anything happens. The doctor said that I can be discharged tomorrow.¡± ¡°With me as the boss in thepany, what can happen?¡± Lin Qingqian picked up the cup and realized that the water was cold. She added some hot water and handed it to him. ¡°Rest well ande back after recuperating.¡± Han Liubai took a sip of warm water and his throat bobbed. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Is the auntie I introduced to you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian asked worriedly, ¡°Will she bring you food tonight?¡± ¡°Auntie is good. She¡¯ll bring me food. The hospital has doctors and nurses to take care of me too. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± His pale face was bloodless and he didn¡¯t look good, but he always said things that made people not worry. It was really difficult for people to not give such a person more care and ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back. Have a good rest.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the cell phone beside him. ¡°Don¡¯t look at the cell phone anymore. It¡¯s hurtful.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s bloodless lips curled up slightly as he agreed obediently. ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian turned around and left¡­ Han Liubai looked at her back with his gentle eyes and pursed his lips. After hesitating for a while, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Qingqian¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. Her eyes seemed to be asking, ¡°What else?¡± Han Liubai looked at her. A thousand words surged into his heart. He wanted to tell her everything, but.. If she knew everything, would she still be friends with him? Perhaps¡­ she would hate him very much! This thought shed through his mind and he immediately dispelled the urge to tell her the truth. ¡°Good luck in thepetition. I believe you can do it!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°I will. Rest.¡± With that, she walked out of the ward. Han Liubai lowered his head and tightened his grip on the cup. His eyes were covered by a haze as he said silently in his heart, ¡®I¡¯m sorry, Qingqian¡­¡¯ ¡®I¡¯ve been lying to you from the beginning. Our encounter was a plot and scheme from the beginning.¡¯ Lin Qingqian went to look for Han Liubai¡¯s attending doctor and the nurse who was taking care of him. It wasn¡¯t to inquire about his condition¡¯s privacy, but because Han Liubai didn¡¯t have any family or friends, as his boss and a good friend, she wanted to ask the doctors and nurses to take care of him more. When she walked out of the hospital, Chen Mu had already parked the car by the roadside. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. He said respectfully, ¡°Madam, are you going back to thepany?¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go to the temple.¡± Chen Mu was stunned for a second before he lowered his head and said, ¡°Yes.¡± In the afternoon, there weren¡¯t as many people in the temple as in the morning. Tourists wandered around in twos and threes. After Lin Qingqian offered incense, she went to the temple to pray for a blessing before leaving. At night, Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian sat side by side on the sofa, each with an iPad, busy with their own work. On the coffee table in front of her, two cups were empty, and the fruits on the te had been finished. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on the screen. She reached out to take the cup and happened to touch Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand. The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other. A few secondster, theyughed tacitly. Lin Qingqian put down the iPad. ¡°I¡¯ll go get some water.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her shoulder and went downstairs to pour water. When he returned, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t look at the iPad. Instead, she looked at the door. Her bright eyes couldn¡¯t help but light up when he entered, as if they were glued to him. Jiang Yanshen handed her the ss of water and sat down at the side. His chest burned from her gaze. Lin Qingqian finished her water and stretched. ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and raised his chin, staring at her with burning eyes¡­ Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡®What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have anything for me?¡± He had waited all night, but she had made no move. Could it be¡­ He thought of something and his expression gradually darkened. His grip on her wrist gradually tightened. Lin Qingqian realized what he meant and frowned slightly. ¡°It hurts.¡± Her eyes indicated that her wrist was hurting. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face was cold, and his eyes were clearly filled with disappointment, but he still loosened his grip. Lin Qingqian sat beside him again and stared at him with her bright eyes. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned against the sofa and nced at her from the corner of his eye without saying a word. ¡°I¡¯m not angry even when you ask Chen Mu to report my words and actions to you every day. How dare you be angry?¡± Her light and pleasant voice sounded slowly, as if saying: if you¡¯re angry, I will argue with you properly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s brows moved slightly, and his tightly pursed thin lips moved. His voice was tense. ¡°I¡¯m worried about you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s very scary to be spying on me like this?¡± Lin Qingqian sat down again and said patiently, ¡°Just like how if I arranged for someone to be by your side and tell me what you do and who you talk to every day, will you be happy? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°You want to know?¡± Lin Qingqian: What¡¯s with your expectant gaze? ¡°That¡¯s not the point!¡± Lin Qingqian knew that he was still the domineering and independent Jiang Yanshen with an extremely strong desire to control. Therefore, even though she knew that Chen Mu was revealing her whereabouts to him, she was not angry with him. Moreover, he was different from ordinary people to begin with. The bipr disorder and personality dissociation would cause him to feel mental pressure. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes dimmed, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking. Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. ¡°Xiao Bai doesn¡¯t have any family or friends. I¡¯m considered his friend, so I naturally care more about him.¡± After a pause, she added, ¡°It¡¯s just concern between friends.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her. ¡°If you knew who he was, would you still care about him as a friend?¡± He swallowed these words. Seeing that he was staring at her in a daze, Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender fingers waved twice in front of him. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand and stood up. ¡°Sleep¡­¡± His voice still sounded muffled. Lin Qingqiany on the bed and took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, raising her head to kiss his thin lips¡­ Jiang Yanshen flipped over and covered her. He lowered his head and bit her lips fiercely, as if he was venting the frustration and depression in his heart in this way¡­ The next day, Jiang Yanshen entered the office and instructed Lu Yuan to call Song Qin over. Lu Yuan was stunned for a second before he immediately felt a professional sense of danger. It had been a long time since Director Jiang looked for Song Qin. Why did he suddenly look for her? Could it be that Song Qin was going to rece his position in Director Jiang¡¯s heart again? Although he was worried, he still looked calm on the surface and went to call Song Qin. If not for the fact that Lu Yuan was present, Song Qin, who had finally been summoned by Director Jiang, would have cried from excitement. She hurriedly walked into the office in her high heels, maintaining her professional and calm image as a secretary. ¡°Director Jiang, you were looking for me?¡± Song Qin nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Yanshen pondered for a few seconds and said, ¡°In the future, you and Lu Yuan will follow me. You¡¯re in charge of posting my schedule to my Moments.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Song Qin was stunned. What was going on? Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Song Qin shook her head. ¡°No, no problem!¡± It would be strange if there was no problem!!! Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and continued reading the documents¡­ Song Qin stood rooted to the ground, at a loss. There seemed to be a line ofments on her face: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Jiang Yanshen waited for a long time, but there was no movement from her. He looked up at her and said coldly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to take a photo?¡± Song Qin: After being stunned for a long time, she btedly reacted and immediately took out her phone to take a photo of Jiang Yanshen looking at the documents and uploaded it to her WeChat Moments. The caption: Boss is working seriously¡­ Before sending it, she specially showed it to Jiang Yanshen and asked carefully, ¡°Director Jiang, do you think this will work?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at it and nodded. ¡°Sure.¡± Song Qin heaved a sigh of relief. After posting on her Moments, she said, ¡°Director Jiang, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll go out first.¡± Jiang Yanshen waved her out. Song Qin walked out of the office with her phone and saw Lu Yuan guarding the door. Lu Yuan looked at her inquisitively. ¡°Secretary Song, why is Director Jiang looking for you?¡± Song Qin nced at him and snorted. ¡°I¡¯m no longer the original Secretary Song.¡± Lu Yuan: Song Qin: ¡°Please call me Special Editor Song Qin.¡± . Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. ¡°Crazy.¡± Song Qin gave him a look that said, ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± She strutted away like a proud rooster in high heels.. Chapter 344 - 344: Untitled Chapter 344: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At first, Lin Qingqian did not sense that something was wrong. When she saw Song Qin post a message about Jiang Yanshen, she thought that it was a subordinate¡¯s admiration for her superior. In the end, on this day, Song Qin posted countless messages about Jiang Yanshen on her Moments, each apanied by a photo of Jiang Yanshen. For example, there was a photo of Jiang Yanshen eating. The caption was: ¡°Director Jiang works very hard. He even ate very simple lunches.¡± Then, there was a photo of Jiang Yanshen having a meeting with the higher-ups. The caption was: Director Jiang had a meeting with the higher-ups and severely criticized the management¡¯szy work attitude. Of course, Director Jiang had higher expectations of himself. If one followed such a leader, one would benefit a lot. I believe that Tianyue Group will get better and better. Another example was the photo of Jiang Yanshen meeting and negotiating with a business partner. The caption was: Big Boss can simply be a negotiator. This was almost a live-stream. She was just short of taking a photo of Jiang Yanshen going to the toilet. Not to mention Lin Qingqian, even Lu Yuan could not help butin, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? You suddenly want to take over?¡± Song Qin: ¡­Heh. (Subtext: You¡¯re finished¡­) Lu Yuan: ¡°Speak in humannguage. Otherwise, don¡¯t me me for punching you for each ¡®heh¡¯!¡± Song Qin: Director Jiang wants you to go to the office. Five minutester, Song Qin deleted Lu Yuan¡¯sments on her WeChat Moments and left a newment. Lu Yuan: Director Jiang is really a wise leader that¡¯s hard toe by in a hundred years. With such a leader, I believe we can all reach the peak of our lives and marry fair, rich, and beautiful women! Song Qin: ¡°¡­Heh heh heh.¡± Lin Qingqian, who had personally seen this post: Can you be any more ridiculous? Thinking of how he had said that he would report everything to herst night, he actually really let Song Qin live-stream his movements on her Moments¡­ Lin Qingqian was angry and amused, but she also felt inexplicably touched. She silently liked Song Qin¡¯s Moments. After receiving Madam¡¯s praise, Song Qin ran to Jiang Yanshen with her phone to take credit. As for Lu Yuan¡­ he aggrievedly borrowed the toilet brush from the cleaning auntie to wash the toilet. Li Ruzhu¡¯s case was quickly closed. All three of her rapists were sentenced and transferred to prison, but this did not bring muchfort to Li Ruzhu. Because Li Ruzhu was discovered to be pregnant, Li Dashun brought her to the hospital for an abortion to avoid embarrassment for himself. After going through such an ordeal, Li Ruzhu was so thin that she didn¡¯t look human anymore. Her mental state wasn¡¯t good either. She often mumbled that Jiang Yanshen had harmed her and asionally went crazy and smashes everything in the house. She even scratched the servants. Li Dashun was annoyed by her, so he simply sent her to the mental hospital. In any case, the doctor said that she was mentally unstable. It was better to let her recuperate in the mental hospital so that she would not run out and talk nonsense and cause more trouble for him. Other than Li Gun visiting her one time when Li Ruzhu was sent to the mental hospital, her ¡®sisters¡¯ like Ling Shuang who had once hung out with her had long disappeared. When they asionally mentioned her, their words were filled with sarcasm. After Li Gun saw Li Ruzhu, her heart was in turmoil, especially when she thought of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s words. She felt inexplicably panicked. She called Li Dashun to discuss with him if they should go overseas! Li Dashun had epted a few small projects from the Ming Corporation and earned arge pot of money. His mistress had also given birth to a son for him, so he had long forgotten about Li Gun. Before she could finish speaking, he hung up impatiently. Li Gun was so angry that she smashed her cell phone. ¡ªKnock, knock. There was a knock at the door. Li Gun took a few deep breaths and said unhappily, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Madam, two police officers are looking for you!¡± Li Gun was stunned. She subconsciously wondered if what had happened to Li Ruzhu was being med on her. She went to open the door and saw two uniformed police officers standing at the door. One of them said in a formal tone, ¡°You¡¯re Madam Li Gun?¡± Li Gun nodded. ¡°I¡¯m Li Gun. What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Somebody has reported that you are rted to the car ident and murder involving Jiang Chongyan back then. We would like you toe with us to provide a statement.¡± The man disyed his ID. When Li Gun heard the words ¡°murder¡±, she instantly felt as if she had been hit in the head. Her entire body swayed and she almost fainted on the spot. In mid-March, the temperature in Lan City had already risen a lot. The light of the setting sun gently enveloped this prosperous and beautiful city. Jiang Yanshen rejected a business cocktail party and returned to Begonia Courtyard early. Lin Qingqian had yet to return, so the auntie went forward and asked him what he wanted to eat for dinner. Jiang Yanshen took off his coat and handed it to her. He thought for a few seconds and said, ¡°My wife likes to eat fish. Make the necessary preparations.¡± The auntie smiled and nodded. After hanging the coat on the rack, she nned to go to the kitchen. Just when Jiang Yanshen was about to go upstairs, an angry voice came from the door. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, stop right there.¡± Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Li Gun walking in with an angry expression. Her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. His cold brows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips pursed tightly without saying anything. He gave the auntie a look, and the auntie tactfully returned to the kitchen. Li Gun walked in with her bag and gritted her teeth. ¡°Why did you do this?¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her quietly, still not saying anything. ¡°I¡¯m asking you, why did you do this?¡± Li Gun shouted hysterically. ¡°I¡¯m your biological mother. Why did you do this? Are you only satisfied if I go to jail?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes tightened, and confusion shed across his eyes. He quickly understood what had happened. Standing on the stairs, he looked down at her and pursed his thin lips. ¡°So you still remember that you¡¯re my biological mother?¡± His cold tone was filled with mockery. Li Gun¡¯s face alternated between green and white as she trembled with anger. ¡°Your father was killed by Jiang Chongjing. It has nothing to do with me!¡± ¡°Nothing to do with you at all?¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips, the light in his eyes bing colder. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t revealed Father¡¯s whereabouts to Jiang Chongjing, would he have had the chance to make a move?¡± ¡°You actually have the cheek to say that it has nothing to do with you?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He was amazed by her shamelessness. ¡°Who asked him to go and see that b*tch? He deserved to die! What has it got to do with me!¡± When Li Gun mentioned what happened back then, she did not feel guilty at all. She even righteously thought that Jiang Chongyan deserved it! It was the Jiang Family and Jiang Chongyan who had let her down. She was the victim! ¡°If Jiang Chongyan deserved to die when he went to see his ex, what about you?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ck eyes were as sharp as des as he looked at her. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t the bastard child you created from your affair with Li Dashun be dismembered?¡± Li Gun¡¯s breathing stopped as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked at him in a daze. ¡°You, you¡­¡± She red at Jiang Yanshen in shock. She did not expect him to know¡­ He actually knew everything. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said coldly, ¡°Even if Old Madam didn¡¯t get rid of that bastard back then. I wouldn¡¯t have let him be born in this world.¡± Back then, Li Gun had an affair with Li Dashun and became pregnant. Jiang Chongyan was unaware of this matter, but she didn¡¯t manage to hide it from the sharp-eyed olddy. Old Madam Jiang asked Madam Liu to take the abortion medicine, and Li Gun aborted Li Dashun¡¯s child. Because the medicine¡¯s style of abortion was not proper, Li Gun went to the hospital to have her uterus cleaned. Her uterus was injured and she could no longer conceive, so she hated the olddy even more. The blood on Li Gun¡¯s face drainedpletely. She looked at him with shock and resentment in her eyes¡­ Her teeth were chattering. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m your mother!¡± ¡°In my heart, you¡¯ve never been one.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were indifferent, and his eyes were as dark as an abyss. They were like a bottomless ck hole, and his cold voice was filled with disgust. ¡°Do you know why I let you return to the Jiang residence?¡± ¡°Why?¡± The word was squeezed out of her throat. Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. ¡°Before I sent you to prison, I thought it would be very funny to see you acting like a clown all day.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Li Gun was so angry that she couldn¡¯t speak. She didn¡¯t expect it to be for such a reason! She did not expect him to be ying with her from the beginning to the end. ¡°Do you think you can stay out of this just because Jiang Chongjing was the one who executed the n?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled into a mocking smile. ¡°Although nowyer in Lan City will take on your case, the court will assign you legal aid. Go and beg your legal aid now and see if he can save you a few years in prison.¡± With that, he turned to go upstairs. Li Gun stood rooted to the ground. Her eyes were filled with hatred and anger as she looked at his back. She seemed to have lost her mind from hatred. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go to jail. I don¡¯t want to go to jail¡­¡± She muttered a few words and suddenly took out a knife from her handbag¡­ The car stopped at the door, and Chen Mu got out to open the door for her. Lin Qingqian got out of the car and saw that there was already a car parked in the parking lot. Her eyes immediately softened. Ah Yan had already returned. She turned around and walked quickly into the house. As she reached the entrance and was about to change her shoes, she called out in a light and pleasant voice, ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± She saw Li Gun and was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, she heard her shout, ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Their voices sounded almost at the same time¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s first reaction when he turned around was to look at Lin Qingqian, who had returned, and ignore Li Gun, who was rushing towards him. By the time he reacted, the knife in Li Gun¡¯s hand had already entered his abdomen, and blood immediately gushed out. ¡ªBang! Lin Qingqian¡¯s bag and the flowers she had specially bought on the way fell to the ground, and she was stunned. Jiang Yanshen frowned and looked down at Li Gun¡¯s hand gripping the handle of her knife tightly, her eyes filled with hatred¡­ ¡°If you want me to go to jail, I¡¯ll let you die¡­¡± With that, Li Gun pulled out the knife. Blood sttered all over Li Gun¡¯s face, making her look even more ferocious and ugly. Jiang Yanshen covered his wound with his hand. Blood kept flowing out through his fingers, soaking his pants like water¡­ ¡°Ah Yan.. Lin Qingqian finally reacted and ran towards him in a panic¡­ When Jiang Yanshen saw hering over, his eyes revealed worry. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯te over¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian was already running towards him. It was as if she had used all her strength and her entire life¡­ Just to be by his side.. Chapter 345 - 345: Don’t Touch… It’s Dirty… Chapter 345 - 345: Don¡¯t Touch¡­ It¡¯s Dirty¡­ Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen was worried when he saw hering over and wanted to walk over to pick her up. He had just taken a step when his entire body fell forward. ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± Lin Qingqian hugged him with both hands, her eyes filled with worry and mist. When she looked down and saw that his abdomen was still bleeding, her heart broke. With a trembling hand, she took off her coat and wanted to help him cover the bleeding wound. Jiang Yanshen shook his head with difficulty and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°Don¡¯t touch¡­ it¡¯s dirty¡­¡± His voice was weak, and his face was as pale as paper. He looked at her with a loving expression and pursed his thin lips. ¡°Qianqian¡­ don¡¯t be afraid¡­¡±
¡°Stop talking!¡± Lin Qingqian shouted anxiously, her tears falling unknowingly. She covered his wound with the clothes in her hand and turned around to shout, ¡°Chen Mu, Auntie¡­ Someone help.. When Li Gun, who was originally stunned on the spot, heard her voice, it was as if her soul had returned. She turned around and wanted to run¡­ Chen Mu happened to hear her voice from outside and hurriedly ran in. He saw Li Gun holding a knife in her hand. The tip of the knife was still dripping with blood, so he subdued her without hesitation. The auntie in the kitchen also heard themotion and walked out to see this scene. She was terrified. ¡°Call an ambnce, call an ambnce quickly.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice was choked with sobs, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat. She covered the wound with her hands and hoped that it would stop bleeding.. Jiang Yanshen could not stand, and Lin Qingqian could not support him alone. He slowly sat on the stairs. Lin Qingqian squatted at the side, covering his wound with one hand and hugging him with the other. ¡°Ah Yan, hang in there¡­ The ambnce will be here soon. Hang in there¡­ You¡¯ll be fine.¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned on her shoulder and looked at her tear-covered face. His thick eyshes trembled a few times. He raised his hand to wipe her tears, but when he raised it into the air, he realized that his hand was covered in blood¡­ The arm slowly fell again. Lin Qingqian looked at his increasingly pale lips and felt that her heart was about to be torn apart. Tears streamed down her face, and she still had to pretend to be strong tofort and encourage him. ¡°Ah Yan, we haven¡¯t held a wedding yet. Nothing can happen to you¡­ You have to hold on¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible¡ª ¡°Qianqian, as long as you want to, I won¡¯t¡­ won¡¯t leave you¡­ ever.¡± His dark eyes slowly closed as he leaned into her arms. ¡°Ah Yan, Ah Yan¡­¡± Lin Qingqian called out to him desperately, but she could not wake him up. This moment was like the end of the world for her. The sirens outside the door and the sirens of the ambnce rose and fell. Soon, the house was filled with police and paramedics. The noise of peopleing and going drowned out everything. Lin Qingqian followed the paramedics into the car in a daze like a puppet. Then, she curled up at the side and watched them give Jiang Yanshen emergency aid. After arriving at the hospital, Jiang Yanshen was quickly pushed to the operating theater. She squatted outside the operating theater and looked at her bloody hands¡­ This was all Ah Yan¡¯s blood¡­ How much blood had he lost? All the blood in her body seemed to have frozen, and her limbs were cold and stiff. Something was stuck in her throat, and she could not swallow it or spit it out. It was extremely ufortable. Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang quickly received the news and rushed over. Even Suisui came. Suisui put a coat on her and said worriedly, ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be like this¡­ Say something, don¡¯t scare me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender eyshes were still, and her clear eyes were dead silent. There was no fluctuation at all, like a human being without a soul. Gu Xici handed a packet of wet wipes to Suisui. ¡°Help her wipe the blood off her hands first.¡¯ Lin Qingqian would no doubt be unwilling to step away to wash her hands at this time. ¡°Thank you.¡± Suisui took the wet wipes and took out a piece to carefully wipe the blood off her hands. There was too much blood on her hands. Even after using an entire bag of wet wipes, she had only wiped most of it away. The blood between her fingers could not be wiped clean. Lu Qinshang had rushed over from the filming event location. His face was still covered in makeup, and his eyes were filled with impatience. ¡°How could such a thing happen?¡± Gu Xici looked down at Lin Qingqian and said in a low voice, ¡°From what I heard, someone reported that Ah Yan¡¯s father¡¯s death was rted to Li Gun back then. Li Gun thought that it was Ah Yan who did it, so she went to look for Ah Yan¡­¡± It was obvious that the conversation was very unpleasant. Li Gun lost control of her emotions and hurt Jiang Yanshen. ¡°F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but curse. ¡°In the past, I only knew that she treated Ah Yan badly, but I didn¡¯t expect her to do such a vicious thing! No wonder Ah Yan¡­ From the corner of his eye, he saw the stunned Lin Qingqian and paused. ¡°Li Gun has already been arrested. The most important thing now is Ah Yan¡¯s safety,¡± Gu Xici said in a heavy voice as he looked worriedly at the operating theater. Lu Qinshang: ¡°Ah Yan is so strong. He¡¯ll definitely be able to survive. He¡¯ll definitely be fine. ¡± Two hourster, the door of the operating theater finally opened. Lin Qingqian almost immediately stood up and rushed over, asking, ¡°Doctor, how is he?¡± ¡°The patient¡¯s wound has already been treated. Although he lost too much blood, it was fortunate that he was sent over in time. His life is no longer in danger.¡± Lin Qingqian could finally heave a sigh of relief. Before joy could rise to her eyebrows, her vision suddenly darkened and her body leaned to the side. Gu Xici and the doctor hurriedly supported her and asked with concern, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian closed her eyes for more than ten seconds before opening them. She no longer felt so dizzy. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± The doctor looked at her with concern. ¡°Are you really fine? Do you need me to take a look at you?¡± ¡°No need!¡± There was an irreversible insistence in Lin Qingqian¡¯s light voice. ¡°When will hee out?¡± ¡°The nurse will send him to the wardter. You can help him with the hospitalization procedures first,¡± the doctor replied. ¡°I¡¯ll handle the hospitalization procedures.¡± Lu Qinshang gave Suisui a look. Suisui quickly understood. ¡°I¡¯ll apany Qianqian. You go.¡± Gu Xici: ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to the police station. I¡¯ll leave Ah Yan to you.¡± Lu Qinshang patted his shoulder and gestured for him to go back. They could not let that bad woman, Li Gun, off. She had to let her be punished by thew. After Lu Qinshang settled the hospitalization procedures, Jiang Yanshen was transferred to the best VIP ward in the hospital. Suisui apanied her as Jiang Yanshen was pushed into the ward. Then, she helped Lin Qingqian to wash her hands and put on her clothes for her. Although there was a heater in the hospital, she was wearing too little. She was afraid that she would catch a cold. Jiang Yanshen was lying on the hospital bed with an oxygen mask on. The medical equipment beside him beeped in a steady rhythm. Lin Qingqian sat by the bed and held his hand. Her bright eyes were misty as she looked at his pale face, and her heart felt like it was being roasted on a fire. Lu Qinshang and Suisui were apanying her in the ward. Suisui saw that it was dark outside and wanted to buy some food. ¡°I¡¯ll go. Don¡¯t run around while you¡¯re pregnant.¡± Lu Qinshang pulled her back and his gaze drifted to her stomach. He was very worried about her going out alone. ¡°No, what if you¡¯re recognized when you go out?¡± Suisui nced at Lin Qingqian, who was like a monk in meditation, and lowered her voice. ¡°You stay in the ward. If anything happens when you¡¯re gone, I won¡¯t be able to settle it.¡± Although Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t know what would happen, he felt that what she said made sense. ¡°Then be careful. Don¡¯t run, don¡¯t jump, and don¡¯t squeeze into the elevator with others.¡± ¡°Got it!¡± With her Big Brother¡¯s concern, Suisui was very happy. She turned around and couldn¡¯t help but want to jump around¡­ Just as she raised her foot, she thought of her Big Brother¡¯s instructions and walked out of the ward obediently. Lu Qinshang was worried and followed behind her. He stood at the door of the ward and only retracted his gaze when he saw her enter the elevator. He turned to look at Lin Qingqian andforted her after thinking for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ah Yan will definitely be fine.¡± It was as if Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t hear his voice. She didn¡¯t move, and even her eyshes were still. ¡ªCan people really enter an immobilized state? Lu Qinshang walked to her side and waved his hand tentatively in front of her¡­ Lin Qingqian still did not look up at him. Her red lips curled up slightly as she said, ¡°Scram.¡± Although it was only one word, Lu Qinshang could still hear the killing intent in her voice. He hurriedly retreated to maintain a safe distance from her. His gaze sized up Lin Qingqian¡¯s delicate face. He did not expect that although she looked gentle and kind usually, when she was fierce, she was also very scary. She was indeed the woman Ah Yan had taken a fancy to!!! Suisui went down to buy things and didn¡¯t return for a long time. Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but start to worry. Was she lost? Or had she fallen or met a human trafficker? He was so worried that it was as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart. He couldn¡¯t sit still and immediately called Suisui. The call went through, but no one picked up. ¡°It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over. Could something have really happened?¡± Lu Qinshang said in frustration. ¡°If I had known earlier, I would have gone down. How could I have let her go down alone!¡± As soon as he opened the door, he almost rammed into Suisui. Lu Qinshang first sized her up before asking, ¡°You¡¯re¡­ fine?¡± Suisui blinked. ¡°I¡­ shouldn¡¯t be fine?¡± ¡°Then why didn¡¯t you answer my call?¡± Lu Qinshang was a little angry. Didn¡¯t she know that he would be worried? Suisui raised her hand with difficulty. ¡°Big Brother, how can I answer with both hands full?¡± Her tone was filled with grievance. Lu Qinshang hurriedly took the bag from her hand. When he lowered his head, there was a hint of embarrassment on his face. He had wronged her and even scolded her¡­ Would the youngss be angry with him? He turned his head slightly and peeked at her carefully¡­ Her hands were red from the weight of the convenience bag. There was no emotion on her face. Was she not angry? Lu Qinshang walked up to her and coughed lightly. He pretended to ask, ¡°What happened to your hand?¡± ¡°It hurts.¡± Suisui stretched out her hands in front of him and looked at him pitifully. Lu Qinshang looked at her red hands and felt sorry for her. ¡°See, I told you that I should go, but you insisted on going!¡± As he reprimanded her, he held her small hand and lowered his head to blow a few times.. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Chapter 346 - 346: My Existence Is Meaningful Only If I Have You To Love Me Chapter 346 - 346: My Existence Is Meaningful Only If I Have You To Love Me Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Seeing that he was so concerned about her, Suisui couldn¡¯t help but smile. ¡°Then you¡¯re not angry anymore, right?¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. He didn¡¯t expect that not only was she not angry, but she was actually worried that he would be angry. His heart softened. How could there be such a silly little girl? She was so stupid that he felt that if he did not treat her better, it would be an unpardonable crime! ¡°I¡¯m not angry. I was concerned about you!¡±
Suisui revealed a bright smile and said casually, ¡°I knew Big Brother was the kindest person in the world.¡± Lu Qinshang lost all his emotions from her ttery. ¡°Go and call Sister-inw for dinner.¡± He wouldn¡¯t go. He was afraid that he would be scolded again. That would be too embarrassing. Especially in front of his mommy fan. Suisui nodded and turned to walk towards Lin Qingqian. ¡°Qianqian, let¡¯s eat.¡± Lin Qingqian held Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand and did not move, as if she did not hear anything. Suisui squatted down beside her and looked up at her with her almond-shaped eyes. She said seriously, ¡°Qianqian, if you don¡¯t eat and faint from hunger, who will take care of Director Jiang?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression finally changed slightly. Her gaze shifted to Suisui, and her voice was hoarse. ¡°I have no appetite.¡± She just wanted to wait for Jiang Yanshen to wake up and get better quickly. Suisui held her hand and said earnestly, ¡°You have to eat even if you don¡¯t want to. Think about it. If you¡¯re the one lying on the hospital bed and Director Jiang stays by the bed without eating or drinking, won¡¯t your heart ache?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes lowered, and her gazended on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s handsome face. Suisui stood up and forcefully pulled her up. ¡°Alright, it¡¯s just a meal. No aliens wille to steal him away in that short time frame!¡± Lin Qingqian was pulled to the sofa and sat down. Lu Qinshang had already brought out the packed food and handed the chopsticks to Suisui. Suisui took it and stuffed it into Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand. ¡°Eat quickly. After that, I¡¯ll let you go to the bed to be a husband-watching stone.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her and then looked down at the additional lunch box in her hand. After a moment of silence, she tried to bring the food to her mouth. Seeing that she was willing to eat, Lu Qinshang secretly gave Suisui a thumbs up. This little girl was not bad! Suisui raised her chin proudly. Of course! Who asked me to be her best friend! The two of them also sat down and picked up the takeout to eat. However, before they could take a few bites, Lin Qingqian suddenly put down the lunch box, stood up, and rushed to the washroom. Lu Qinshang and Suisui were stunned. When they reacted, they followed her to see what was going on. Lin Qingqian squatted in front of the toilet bowl and vomited everything she had just eaten. She wanted to vomit out her internal organs. Suisui walked to her side and patted her back gently. She said worriedly, ¡°Qianqian, what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t scare me! ¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t feel so nauseous anymore. She took a deep breath, wiped the tears on her face, and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ Lu Qinshang brought over a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Suisui. Suisui handed it to Lin Qingqian. ¡°Come and rinse your mouth!¡± Lin Qingqian thanked her and took a sip to rinse her mouth before spitting it into the toilet bowl. Suisui said worriedly, ¡°Are you really fine? You don¡¯t look good.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her, her eyes dim as she said slowly in a hoarse voice, ¡°I just recalled the image of Ah Yan copsing and falling unconscious. When I thought of the smell of blood in the air, I felt very nauseous and ufortable!¡± ¡°Alright, alright, let¡¯s not think about it anymore.¡± Suisui hugged her with heartache and patted her back like she was coaxing a child. ¡°Isn¡¯t Director Jiang fine? He¡¯ll wake up soon. Don¡¯t be sad.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything, but her entire body was cold. She only felt a trace of warmth when she was hugged by Suisui. Suisui pulled her out of the washroom. She really didn¡¯t have the appetite to eat, so Suisui didn¡¯t force her. She poured a ss of warm water for her. Lin Qingqian held the warm cup with both hands and looked at Jiang Yanshen quietly, her eyes filled with worry and heartache¡­ Suisui and Lu Qinshang returned to the sofa to continue eating. Lu Qinshang whispered, ¡°Is she really fine?¡± ¡°She should be fine,¡± Suisui said uncertainly. Lu Qinshang sighed softly. ¡°She was probably frightened when she saw Ah Yan being stabbed with her own eyes.¡± If it were anyone else, they would probably have been flustered and not know what to do. It was already very rare for her to have theposure to get Chen Mu to call the police, and tell the auntie to call an ambnce, while helping Ah Yan stop the bleeding. Suisui pouted and did not say anything, but she stared at him very sharply. Lu Qinshang felt his hairs stand on ends from her gaze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Suisui stabbed the rice with the chopsticks in her hand and gritted her teeth. ¡°If anyone dares to hurt Big Brother, not to mention stabbing you, even if they dare to touch you, I¡¯ll kill their entire family and wipe out their entire family! Then I¡¯ll dig up their ancestral grave!¡± Lu Qinshang: . He reached out and pinched her chubby little face. ¡®What nonsense are you talking about? With your small body, you¡¯ll be pped t in an instant! ¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened as she said unhappily, ¡°Big Brother, are you doubting me?¡± ¡± Was that the main point? Seeing her serious expression, Lu Qinshang felt amused and helpless. ¡°No one can hurt me. Moreover, you¡¯re pregnant with my child. Even if anything happens, I¡¯ll protect you. You¡¯re a girl, understand?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± Suisui nodded and insisted, ¡°But protecting Big Brother is us Maple Leaves¡¯ lifelong mission. We won¡¯t regret it even if we die!¡± Lu Qinshang: I want to dote on you like a woman, but you insist on being my fan??? This girl was so worrying! After dinner, Lu Qinshang put away his things. It was almost time to send Suisui back to rest. Suisui walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and patted her shoulder. ¡°Qianqian, I¡¯m going back! Can you call me if you need anything, ok?¡± Lin Qingqian slowly turned her head to look at her and nodded slightly without saying anything. Lu Qinshang held her hand and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± There were also doctors and nurses on duty at night. Nothing would happen. Lin Qingqian sat on the chair and pulled Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand to her mouth to touch it. ¡°Ah Yan, you have to recover quickly.¡± When Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes, the light in the ward made him frown in difort. The next second, the dazzling white light turned orange. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and saw Lin Qingqian sitting there, her eyes filled with joy. ¡°You¡¯re awake.¡± ¡°Mn.¡± His throat moved and he let out a weak sound. Heposed himself and said, ¡°Did I scare you?¡± Lin Qingqian pressed his palm against her cheek and said in a slightly choked voice, ¡°What do you think?¡± Not only was she frightened, her soul almost left her body. ¡°That day¡­ when you fell into the sea¡­ I felt the same way.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s deep eyes narrowed, but the light in his eyes was hot and strong. Losing something important and regaining it was the most painful and liberating feeling in the world. Lin Qingqian turned her head and kissed his palm that was filled with the smell of disinfectant. ¡°Don¡¯t scare me like this in the future. I¡¯m not as strong as you think. ¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick eyshes fluttered, but he didn¡¯t reply. After a moment of silence, his voice slowly sounded. ¡°Do you still remember¡­ what I told you?¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian did not react. Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his burning eyes and repeated hoarsely, ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing, I¡¯ll never leave you¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Was there a need to say this? I naturally hope to grow old hand in hand with you. A trace of sadness shed across his burning eyes. His palm gently rubbed against her cheek, infatuated with her warmth. ¡°Are you feeling very ufortable?¡± Lin Qingqian asked with concern. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡± His hoarse voice became even softer. ¡°Then rest.¡± Lin Qingqian remembered that the doctor had said that he had lost too much blood and his body would be very weak when he woke up. She got up and pulled the nket over him. ¡°I¡¯ll always be by your side.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his dry lips, as if he was smiling. His long eyshes were slowly lowered, and his ck eyes closed. Lin Qingqian held his cold fingertips and sat by the bed to guard him. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± His low and hoarse voice sounded in the quiet room, and every word clearly entered Lin Qingqian¡¯s ears. My existence is meaningful only if I have you to love me. Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. Thinking about how he had lost his father, how his Grandma was strict with him, and how Li Gun was even more crazy and unfeeling towards him¡­ Even a vicious tiger wouldn¡¯t eat its cubs. Li Ruzhu¡¯s actions must have hurt his heart. ¡°Ah Yan, I¡¯ve already loved you for so many years. I¡¯ll still love you for many years toe.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyshes froze and cast a green shadow under the corner of his eye. His breathing turned even, as if he had fallen asleep and did not hear her. Although the news of Li Gun stabbing Jiang Yanshen was suppressed, it more or less caused a ripple. The next morning, Lin Qingqian received a call from Old Madam Jiang. Jiang Yanshen was still sleeping and hadn¡¯t woken up. She let go of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s hand and walked to the bed, saying softly, ¡°Grandma¡­¡± ¡°The doctor said that his life isn¡¯t in danger. As long as he rests well, he¡¯ll recover quickly.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take good care of him. Don¡¯t worry, take care of yourself¡­¡± After ending the call, Lin Qingqian turned around and saw that Jiang Yanshen had woken up and was looking at her quietly. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Lin Qingqian walked over and asked with concern. His body was still very weak, and he grunted lightly. ¡°I¡¯ll get the doctor to check on you.¡± Lin Qingqian pressed the service bell. The nurses and doctors on duty came over very quickly. Lin Qingqian walked to the side and let the nurses and doctors examine him before changing the gauze on his wound. ¡°The wound isn¡¯t inmed, and it doesn¡¯t seem to have caused any otherplications so far. Rest well. Young people recover very quickly.¡± The doctorforted her. Lin Qingqian thanked him and watched them go out. She walked to the bed and sat down. ¡°You¡¯ll be fine soon.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her without saying anything. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian saw that his expression was not right and was worried that he was feeling unwell. ¡°Go back and rest.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his lips, his voice hoarse. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ Before she could finish speaking, she heard his hoarse voice. ¡°Qianqian, be good.¡± His dark eyes stared at her warmly, a gentleness that no one could resist.. Chapter 348 - 348: He Pinched His Temples, Uttering Two Cold Words: “Get Lost. Chapter 348: He Pinched His Temples, Uttering Two Cold Words: ¡°Get Lost. Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen had yet to be discharged from the hospital, and the court had already started hearing Li Gun¡¯s case. Li Gun hired awyer to defend her. She insisted that she had stabbed Jiang Yanshen in a moment of desperation. As for carrying a fruit knife with her, it was for self-defense and not to deliberately hurt anyone. Because this case involved a case from more than ten years ago, it couldn¡¯t be concluded so quickly. Li Gun was still locked up in the detention center for the time being. Jiang Yanshen and Li Gun¡¯s matter was not urgent and was handed over to thewyer to handle. After his wound healed and he could sit up, Lu Yuan and Song Qin came to the ward every day with a pile of documents. Although Lin Qingqian did not really want him to deal with it, she couldn¡¯t withstand the pleading gazes of Lu Yuan and Song Qin¡­ Moreover, Lu Yuan and Song Qin had already dealt with most of the matters. The documents were also reported by Lu Yuan and Song Qin in turn, and Jiang Yanshen only had to make a decision. Every morning, when Lu Yuan and the others came over, Lin Qingqian would return to thepany and finish her work. At noon, she would rush to the hospital to eat lunch with Jiang Yanshen and strictly order him to take an afternoon nap and not work anymore. Unable to dissuade her, Jiang Yanshen could only lie down¡­ Lin Qingqian tucked him in and said softly, ¡°The doctor said that you¡¯ll be discharged in a week.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand, his eyes filled with heartache as he stared at her. ¡°You¡¯ve lost weight recently.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good to lose some weight. I don¡¯t have to go on a diet anymore.¡± Lin Qingqian pretended to be rxed. Recently, she had been busy running between home, office, and the hospital. Coupled with the fact that her appetite was not good and she ate little, she felt that her clothes had be much looser. ¡°I¡¯ll get Auntie to nourish you when we get back,¡± Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯ll nourish you first!¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to touch his cheek. ¡°You look thinner than me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes heated up as he said meaningfully, ¡°Try me and you¡¯ll know that I¡¯m not weak.¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned. When she realized what he meant, she pped his palm angrily and said, ¡°Hooligan.¡± Jiang Yanshen held her hand, and the smile on his lips deepened. Lin Qingqian looked into his eyes and smiled¡­ Suddenly, the smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips froze. His cold brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of pain shed across his expression. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Seeing that his expression was not right, the smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips instantly froze. ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on her hand involuntarily, as if he wanted to crush her bones. ¡°Ah Yan¡­¡± Lin Qingqian ignored her hand that was hurting from his grip, her bright eyes filled with worry. ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor.¡± She had just gotten up when he pulled her back. His thin lips squeezed out two difficult words. ¡°No need¡­ Lin Qingqian lowered her head and looked at him worriedly¡­ Jiang Yan took a few deep breaths and his throat moved. His voice was hoarse as he said, ¡°Help me wring a towel.¡± In just a moment, his face and neck were already drenched in sweat. Lin Qingqian was worried. ¡°Are you really fine?¡± The corners of Jiang Yanshen¡¯s mouth curled up. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Seeing that he was really fine, Lin Qingqian turned around and walked towards the washroom. Jiang Yanshen looked at her back with burning eyes. When the sound of water flowing came from the washroom, he raised his hand and pinched his temples. He squeezed out two cold words in a low voice. ¡°Get lost.¡± Lin Qingqian came out of the washroom with a clean towel in her hand. She walked to the bed and bent down to wipe his face. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression returned to normal, and his gazended on her hand. Her fair hand was still red from wringing the towel. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± He held her hand, his low and hoarse voice mixed with regret. Lin Qingqian pulled his hand out nonchntly and wiped the sweat off his neck with a towel. ¡°Do you experience headaches often? Do you want to do a brain CT scan?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± In order to reassure her, Jiang Yanshen agreed, but he knew very well¡­ A brain CT scan would not detect anything. ¡°Then rest. I¡¯ll go look for the doctor,¡± Lin Qingqian said gently. Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched her leave the room. The smile on his lips slowly darkened. The pain in his head swept over him again. He reached out and pressed his head hard. His throat moved extremely slowly, and a momentter, he let out a difficult voice¡ª ¡°A week. Give me another week.¡± With that, after a long time, the tearing pain finally disappeared from his mind. When Lin Qingqian returned from seeing the doctor, Jiang Yanshen was lying on the hospital bed. His eyes were closed, as if he had already fallen asleep. She walked over and lifted the nket up. Her gazended on his face. Because of his injuries, his face was even paler than before. The bones of his cheeks were even more sunken, and there was always a dark expression between his brows when she was not paying attention. Ah Yan, what are you thinking? Is there anything you can¡¯t let me know? She sighed softly and tiptoed out of the ward with her phone. After the submission deadline for S.T¡¯s Fashion Design Competition passed, Lin Qingqian quickly received an email from the organizer informing her that she had passed the preliminary round. The domestic semi-finals would be held in Lan City. All designers had to bring their own designs and invited models topete at the event location. There would be professional judges marking at the event location, and the winner could go to Mn to participate in the semi-finals. Lin Qingqian had already personallypleted the modified design. The invited model was Li Wenwen. When Luo Tianxue found out that she had invited Li Wenwen to be the model, she lost her temper. ¡°I was the one who revealed the news of thepetition to you in advance. You actually invited her to be your model and not me!¡± Facing Luo Tianxue¡¯s uncontroble anger, Lin Qingqian said calmly, ¡°This is only a domesticpetition. Isn¡¯t the Mn runway more suitable for you?¡± Her calm wordsforted the furious Luo Tianxue. ¡°You said it yourself. If you lie to me, I¡¯ll really be angry with you.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, as long as I can enter the semi-finals, I¡¯ll definitely bring you to Mn.¡± ¡°With your ability, it won¡¯t be a problem for you to enter the semi-finals.¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s voice was filled with confidence. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips helplessly. She didn¡¯t know where her confidence in her came from. Thepetition venue was a television station in Lan City, broadcasting live. That day, Suisui, Su Ying, and even Han Liubai were present. Lin Qingqian saw Han Liubai and frowned slightly. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Today is your first timepeting on stage, so I naturally have to go to the event location to cheer you on.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes were gentle, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± She had been so busy working and taking care of Jiang Yanshen these few days that she had forgotten to visit him. After receiving her concern, Han Liubai¡¯s heart softened even more. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry about me. Just focus on thepetition.¡± Lin Qingqian thought of something and asked Su Ying to bring her bag to her. She took out a Peace Blessing from the bag. ¡°I went to the temple to ask for it previously, but I¡¯ve forgotten about it because of the recent chaos.¡± Han Liubai was slightly stunned. His gazended on the blessing in her hand and his throat tightened. He couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°You specially asked for it for me?¡± Lin Qingqian did not answer him directly and said softly, ¡°We¡¯re friends. I hope you¡¯ll be healthy and safe.¡± Han Liubai reached out to take Peace Blessing and held it tightly in his hand. The gratitude in his eyes disappeared in an instant. ¡°Thank you.¡± Even if he knew that she was just concerned about him as a friend and did not have any selfish thoughts, it was still very precious to him. Han Liubai nodded and watched her leave. Backstage. Li Wenwen had already changed her clothes and Suisui had also put on makeup for her. She couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful.¡± Li Wenwen smiled reservedly. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Qingqian walked in and her gazended on Li Wenwen, not surprised at all. When she designed this dress, she followed Li Wenwen¡¯s style. When she made it, the size was also strictly ording to Li Wenwen¡¯s size, so it was just right for Li Wenwen at this moment. There was no need to modify it at all. ¡°Qingqian, your design is really beautiful. I believe you¡¯ll definitely make it to the semi-finals,¡± Li Wenwen praised sincerely. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian sized her up and said to Suisui, ¡°Help Wenwen arrange her hair again.¡± Suisui made an ¡°OK¡± gesture. The door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. ¡°Qingqian¡­¡± A familiar voice sounded. Just as Lin Qingqian turned around, she was hugged by Luo Tianxue, who was jogging over in her high heels. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time. Did you miss me?¡± Lin Qingqian was a little surprised to see her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Luo Tianxue raised his chin. ¡°Of course I¡¯m cheering for you. I¡¯m not heartless like you.¡± She was still angry that Lin Qingqian had invited Li Wenwen to be the model. Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly. ¡°By the way, I heard that Ming Xiao invited Best Actress Zhou Jinran to be a model. You have to be careful.¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s words were directed at Lin Qingqian, but her gaze drifted to Li Wenwen. Although Li Wenwen was the queen of art films and had won a few foreign awards, she still lost to Zhou Jinran in terms of poprity. Today¡¯spetition was based on a double voting system between the judges and the audience. Although the audience only ounted for 30% of the votes and the decision was still in the hands of the judges, they could not underestimate this 30%. ¡°No matter how famous Movie Queen Zhou is, we¡¯re stillpeting in design. Don¡¯t pressure Wenwen.¡± Lin Qingqian knew that she was deliberately saying this for Li Wenwen to hear, so she opened her mouth to help Li Wenwen out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the people passing by the door stopped in their tracks and looked overzily. The door of the lounge was not closed. Lin Qingqian¡¯s words were clearly heard by the people passing by the door, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Luo Tianxue acted as if nothing had happened and smiled. ¡°Big Sister Jinran, long time no see. You¡¯re still so beautiful.¡± Zhou Jinran nced at Luo Tianxue indifferently, her gazending on Lin Qingqian with a slightly cold gaze. Lin Qingqian met her gaze indifferently without any guilt or embarrassment. After all, she was telling the truth. Fashion design was about the design itself, not the fame of the models. Zhou Jinran wanted to take a look at Li Wenwen¡¯s clothes, but she was blocked by Suisui. She retracted her gaze and continued walking towards Ming Xiao¡¯s lounge as if nothing had happened. Luo Tianxue tilted her head and said to Lin Qingqian, ¡°You¡¯re finished. Movie Queen Zhou is famous for being petty in the industry. If you offend her, you can forget about having an easy time in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her. ¡°Thank you for telling me..¡± Chapter 349 - 349: Untitled Chapter 349: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Wenwenforted her. ¡°I believe in your design. Moreover, Movie Queen Zhou is not in the fashion industry. She can¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°But she can make things difficult for you.¡± Luo Tianxue raised her eyebrows, her eyes filled with anticipation. Li Wenwen¡¯s expression was calm. ¡°My development path is different from hers. She can¡¯t affect me either.¡± Zhou Jinran walked the international path. She was popr, had good acting skills, and had a good image. The development path the team had set for her was noble and lofty. Li Wenwen was different. She had previously specialized in art films and made a name for herself in the arts circle. Although she was as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, she was not cold. The path she took was very the kind that¡¯s closer to the audience, so be it endorsements or business, she didn¡¯t ovep with Zhou Jinran. Zhou Jinran would not lower herself to intercept her lowly endorsements. ¡°Alright, thepetition is about to begin. Don¡¯t think too much. Focus on thepetition first.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to help Li Wenwen tidy up her clothes, looking at her with confidence and encouragement. Luo Tianxue hade today to watch the show and returned to the audience seats before thepetition. Lu Qinshang and Ren Guangxi didn¡¯t show up because they had work to do, but they posted on Weibo to cheer for Lin Qingqian. Someonemented under the photos that Luo Tianxue had posted, ¡°How is this a fashion designpetition? It¡¯s probably apetition backstage! I really feel that it¡¯s unfair for the other designers.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans immediately went down to scold that hater for not being able to restrain themselves from defaming the Goddess for even one day. Would the judges care who had more fans? Thepetition depended on one¡¯s ability! ! The fans of the other people also came down and said that they were purely cheering for their friends. They begged the unscrupulous hater to stop their behavior. Thepetition was divided into two segments. First, all the models would wear the designer¡¯s work to walk on the runway. Then, the judges would give the first score. The top 20 would advance and the bottom 10 would be eliminated. The second round was when the designer apanied the model out. They would exin their creative inspiration on the spot, exin their works, and ept the judges¡¯ questions. In the end, there would be 500 spectators at the event location who would vote. The top three would be able to go to Mn to participate in the semi-finals. Lin Qingqian was very popr. For the sake of the viewership ratings and poprity, the organizers arranged for her work toe outst, equivalent to being the finale. After a long wait, the 29 models in front finally left. It was Li Wenwen¡¯s turn¡­ The lights in the audience and instructors¡¯ seats were all off, and only the lights on the catwalknded on Li Wenwen. Li Wenwen was only wearing an extremely simple dark green dress. Her chestnut-colored long hair flowed down gracefully. With her light footsteps, the hem of her dress rose slightly like a melting ice river in early spring, and the green stream flowed under her feet. Most of the designer¡¯s works in front were exaggerated. The colors conflicted greatly, giving off a very strong visual conflict that would deepen one¡¯s memories. On the other hand, Li Wenwen seemed to have suddenly walked from the world of the Wizard of Oz into a bustling city, making the people who had been eating fish and meat suddenly taste a mouthful of vegetables with light fragrance. Their taste buds suddenly received a hint of sweetness. The audience did not know much about design, but they could still tell at a nce if they liked something or not. Thunderous apuse sounded in the event location. The seven judges below the stage couldn¡¯t help but reveal stunned and approving gazes. When Li Wenwen returned backstage, the judges had already started grading. All the participants were waiting in the lounge. There was a camera in the lounge. Every time the judges announced a promotion spot, the camera would cut to someone¡¯s lounge. The designers and models looked stunned at first, then they revealed joy and excitement and hugged each other. When the third ce was announced, the camera cut to Lin Qingqian¡¯s lounge.. Chapter 350 - 350: Jiang Yanshen ‘s Voice Was Gentle. Chapter 350: Jiang Yanshen ¡®s Voice Was Gentle. ¡°Naturally, I¡¯m Cheering For You!¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Li Wenwen frowned slightly. Clearly, she was a little surprised to be third. After seeing all the works, she felt that Lin Qingqian¡¯s design should be able to get first ce. Lin Qingqian¡¯s delicate facial features were especially calm. She held Li Wenwen¡¯s hand and smiled. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. You¡¯ve done very well.¡± Because there was a camera, Li Wenwen didn¡¯t ask the questions in her heart. The corners of her mouth curled up. ¡°Congrattions.¡± Luo Tianxue, who was in the audience, muttered unhappily, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Qingqian¡¯s work can clearly get first ce!¡± Han Liubai turned his head to look at her and exined indifferently, ¡°Qingqian¡¯s design is too simple.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Luo Tianxue asked curiously. ¡°Fashion designpetitions are different from ordinary brand designs.¡± Seeing that she did not understand, Han Liubai exined patiently, ¡°Brand design emphasizes everyday aesthetics, but fashion design focuses on art, and art always involves an element of exaggeration.¡± Luo Tianxue nodded in confusion. Suisui pouted. ¡°But I think Qianqian¡¯s design is not inferior to those strange clothes at all.¡± ¡°The simplest is often the most difficult.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gazended on the calm little face on the big screen, his eyes filled with admiration. ¡°It¡¯s already very rare for her to be able to do this.¡± ¡°Then who did you say will take first ce?¡± Luo Tianxue asked curiously. Before Han Liubai could answer, the big screen cut to second ce. It was another male designer. The first ce was¡ªMing Xiao. The scene in Ming Xiao¡¯s lounge was yed on the big screen. Ming Xiao¡¯s exquisite facial features revealed a hint of surprise. After a moment, she reacted and stood up to hug Zhou Jinran. If not for the fact that she was afraid of being captured by the cameras at the event location, Luo Tianxue really wanted to roll her eyes. ¡°She got first ce? Could there be a conspiracy?!¡± Han Liubai said calmly, ¡°S.T.¡¯s fashionpetition is famous tor being tair in the industry. The judges are also respected in the industry. They won¡¯t do anything to destroy their reputation.¡± In other words, there was no shady business in thepetition. ¡°How do you know there¡¯s no shady business?¡± Luo Tianxue nced at him. ¡°You make it sound like you¡¯ve participated in it before.¡± Something shed across Han Liubai¡¯s eyes. He pursed his thin lips and did not say anything else. The top 20 had already been confirmed. Next, the designers and models went on stage to exin their ideas and inspirations. As Ming Xiao had gotten first ce, she was the first to go on stage. When she passed by Lin Qingqian¡¯s lounge, she stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Qingqian in the lounge, her red lips curled up in mockery. Especially when she saw Li Wenwen¡¯s clothes. Lin Qingqian sensed that there was someone at the door. When she turned her head and saw that it was her, she frowned slightly and did not say anything. She walked to the door and wanted to close it. Ming Xiao¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Even if your lousy design entered the semi-finals, do you think you can win the championship?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze fell on Zhou Jinran, dressed in a bright red gown with a voluminous skirt. Her lips were lightly curled as she spoke, ¡°Whether I can win the championship isn¡¯t important. What¡¯s important is that¡­ you, Senior, don¡¯t have a mishap like before.¡± With that, she closed the door. Zhou Jinran raised her eyebrows. ¡°What do her words mean?¡± The light in Ming Xiao¡¯s eyes turned cold as she said indifferently, ¡°Nothing.¡± ¡°I only agreed to be your model this time on President Ming¡¯s ount. I hope you won¡¯t cause me any trouble.¡± Zhou Jinran¡¯s faint voice carried a hint of warning. She had a very high status in the industryu If not for President Ming¡¯s invitation and his promise to invest in her new movie, she would not have lowered herself to be a model for Ming Xiao. As Ming Xiao watched her enchanting body walk forward, the light in her eyes became even colder¡­ A mere actress actually dared to put on airs in front of her. There was still value in using her now. Let¡¯s see how she deals with Zhou Jinran after thepetition. Li Wenwen could tell that Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao had a deep grudge. She said worriedly, ¡°Nothing will happen, right?¡± ¡°Unless she can bribe all the judges, she can¡¯t stop me.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her firmly, indicating for her to rest assured. Seeing that she was so confident, Li Wenwen was slightly relieved. When Lin Qingqian and she went on stage, Li Wenwen was in charge of showing the design work to the judges again, while Lin Qingqian was in charge of exining her creative inspiration and the entire design. Clothing design may appear simple, but every detail requires a designer¡¯s profound expertise. If the designer doesn¡¯t exin, the audience won¡¯t notice. After Lin Qingqian finished speaking, the judges asked a few more questions and she answered them generously. Thest judge asked, ¡°I heard that you¡¯re Master Qi¡¯s disciple. Everyone knows that Master Qi is a master of cheongsams. Why didn¡¯t you make a cheongsam this time?¡± This question was a little tricky. Firstly, it implies when Lin Qingqian made her debut, she imed to promote the traditional Chinese style. Secondly, it stirs up conflicts between Lin Qingqian and Qi Min¡¯s mentor-disciple rtionship. Lin Qingqian tightened her grip on the microphone silently and looked at the judge who asked the question. ¡°My master said that Chinese culture is vast and profound. As designers, we¡¯ve been pursuing creation our entire lives. If we only limit our horizons to a niche, it¡¯ll be too narrow.¡± If you use Master to suppress me, I¡¯ll use Master¡¯s words to retort! The judge touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and asked indignantly, ¡°As Qi Min¡¯s disciple, don¡¯t you feel guilty for not presenting the design of the cheongsam on such a good stage?¡± If the first question was still tactful, the second question was deliberately making things difficult for her. In the audience, Luo Tianxue, Han Liubai, and even Suisui could hear the hostility. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly as she retorted unhurriedly, ¡®My identity is first, a designer, and Qi Min¡¯s disciple second. I¡¯ve indeed let down my teacher for not designing an outstanding cheongsam all these years! But as long as I can disy an outstanding work on this design stage today, I believe Master will be proud of me, regardless of whether it¡¯s a cheongsam or not. ¡± This time, the judges werepletely speechless. After all, even her master had nothing to say. As an outsider, his repeated questioning in front of the camera seemed very aggressive. The other judges had no more questions. Lin Qingqian held Li Wenwen¡¯s hand and bowed to the judges and audience before leaving the stage. Luo Tianxue¡¯s lips curved into a smile. ¡°Aiya, I still like Qingqian so much. It¡¯s a pity that she didn¡¯t be my sister-inw.¡± Suisui snorted. ¡°Your brother, that yboy, is not worthy.¡± Luo Tianxue despised Lu Dongcheng¡¯s flirtatiousness as well, but when she heard that others despised him, she couldn¡¯t take it anymore. ¡°That¡¯s because he didn¡¯t meet his true love. When he meets his true love, the woman he falls in love with will definitely be very happy.¡± Luo Tianxue nced at her from the corner of her eye. What does a silly girl like you know? Suisui curled her lips and didn¡¯t retort, but she was very disdainful of her words. Su Ying tugged at her sleeve and whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t bully my idol.¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± Who could bully this little ck lotus? All the contestants would go to the lounge to wait for the results. Li Wenwen changed her clothes and was about to leave because she still had work to do. Lin Qingqian sent her to the door and watched her get into the huge van before turning to enter. From the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar Maybach stop and stopped in her tracks. When Jiang Yanshen got out of the car, Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes lit up as she walked forward quickly. ¡°Why are you here?¡± She couldn¡¯t hide the joy in her voice. Jiang Yanshen reached out to help her sweep up her scattered hair and said gently, ¡°I¡¯m naturally cheering for you!¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°They¡¯re still tabting the results. We¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled his hand and walked into the television station. Su Ying ran over and urged, ¡°Sister Qingqian, the results are about to be announced. Get ready to go on stage!¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and turned to look at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Go, I¡¯ll wait for you in the lounge,¡± Jiang Yanshen said gently. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Xiao Ying, bring Director Jiang to my lounge.¡± With that, she looked at Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go on stage first.¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched her slender figure walk towards the studio¡­ Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and nodded faintly. When he walked, he said in a low voice, ¡°Go and tell Han Liubai that I¡¯ll wait for him in the lounge.¡± Su Ying: ? She looked up at Jiang Yanshen¡¯s tall and slender back in confusion. 20 designers stood on stage in the recording studio, nervously waiting for the judges to announce the results. Backstage, Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa, his warm gazending on the LCD television hanging on the wall. Because Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao were standing very close to each other, most of the time, the camera would sweep towards the two of them. The camera would only cut away when the judges announced the others. The door of the lounge was pushed open. When Han Liubai walked in, he saw Jiang Yanshen staring at the screen with a thick and intense light in his eyes, almost overflowing. ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± A slightly cold voice broke the silence of the lounge. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes. When he turned his head, the gentleness in his eyes disappearedpletely, and his gaze was cold. ¡°When Qianqian goes to Mn, you¡¯ll apany her, right?¡± Her voice was slightly cold, but his tone was very certain. Han Liubai¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°She hasn¡¯t gotten through to the semi-finals yet.¡± ¡°She¡¯ll get through.¡± Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. His simple words were resolute, as if he had known the oue long ago. Han Liu¡¯s white eyes revealed suspicion. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, what exactly are you trying to say?¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and looked at him. As he buttoned up his unbuttoned suit, he said in a gentle voice, ¡°Han Liubai, strictly speaking, there¡¯s no blood feud between us.¡± ¡°If you harbor hatred against the Jiang family and me because of your mother¡¯s depression and her tragic end, should I have crushed your bones and turned you into ashes for my father dying on his way to see your mother?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s eyes suddenly narrowed. His hands hanging by his sides were clenched into fists, and the veins on his hands bulged. He remained silent. ¡°To put it bluntly, you¡¯re just using the Jiang family as an imaginary enemy to vent your anger and make yourself feel better.¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Han Liubai looked up at him, his eyes filled with anger.. ¡°What would someone like you know?¡± Chapter 352 - 352: Madam Jiang, I Love You Very Much! Chapter 352: Madam Jiang, I Love You Very Much! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Although she felt that this was a little silly, Lin Qingqian thought that it was quite good. Love was meant to make smart people do stupid things! ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon. Remember to prepare your gift and wait for me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up, and his low and hoarse voice agreed. He paused and said, ¡°Alright.¡¯ The news of boarding came from the broadcast. Lin Qingqian nced at the crowd boarding the ne at the boarding gate. ¡°Then I¡¯ll board the ne,¡± Lin Qingqian said reluctantly. Jiang Yanshen nodded, indicating for her to go. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment. She tiptoed and kissed his cheek before turning around and walking quickly to the boarding gate. Just as she reached the ticket gate, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and tense voice came from behind. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Lin Qingqian had just stopped in her tracks and before she could turn around, an additional force on her arm pulled her over. His handsome facial features kept magnifying in front of her eyes. For a moment, everything was silent. There was only his heartbeat and the pleasant smell of ebony. The warm and dry touch on her lips stunned Lin Qingqian. Before she could react, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears. ¡°Madam Jiang, I love you very much!¡± Because I love you too much, I¡¯m selfish. I¡¯m sorry. As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of her arm and pushed her gently¡­ This push was her other shore, but it was his hell. As Lin Qingqian walked towards the boarding gate, she turned around and looked at the man standing at the ticket gate. A trace of doubt shed across her bright eyes. She felt that he was strange, but she could not say what was strange. Jiang Yanshen stood tall and robust, his figure poised in ce like the solitary por tree on the Gobi, with his eyes sharp and distinct¡ªck and white¡ªfilled with deep affection and boundless reluctance¡­ Seeing her back getting further and further away, he even had a strong urge to chase her back. She had just taken a step when he suddenly felt like he had been hit in the head. His head hurt so much that it seemed like it was about to explode. He pressed his temples hard. When he looked up again, the corners of his eyes were red, and the delicate figure was no longer in his line of sight. Chen Mu and the makeup artist had already boarded the ne and sat down. Lin Qingqian found her seat by the window. Just as she sat down and buckled her seatbelt, someone sat down beside her. She nced at him casually from the corner of her eye and was stunned. ¡°Xiao Bai¡­¡¯ Han Liubai¡¯s clean and good-looking features were filled with a smile. ¡°Suisui was worried about you alone and insisted that I apany you.¡± A hint of helplessness shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. When she returned, she would definitely teach Suisui a lesson. Thisss has be more and more reckless. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already arranged everything for work. It won¡¯t affect thepany,¡± Han Liubai exined. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips moved slightly. ¡°Your body has just recovered. You shouldn¡¯t be following me on a long journey.¡± Most importantly, if Ah Yan found out, he would be jealous again. Han Liubai¡¯s smile became even gentler. ¡°The doctor said that there¡¯s nothing wrong with my body. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± He was already on the ne. What else could Lin Qingqian say? ¡°Remember to tell me if you¡¯re feeling unwell. Don¡¯t force yourself, understand?¡± Lin Qingqian reminded softly. Han Liubai nodded in agreement. Outside the airport, a ck SUV was parked by the roadside. When Fang Wu saw Jiang Yanshen walk out, he opened the car door expressionlessly and gestured for him to get in. Jiang Yanshen walked to the car and stopped. He turned around and looked at the horizon withplicated emotions in his eyes. Fang Wu looked a little impatient and urged, ¡°Let¡¯s go. Professor Morse is waiting for you..¡± Chapter 353 - 353: Missing You Too Much, Can’t Sleep Chapter 353: Missing You Too Much, Can¡¯t Sleep Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions At the Jiang residence. The usually busy servants were not around at this moment. The huge vi seemed empty and quiet. A man in a gray suit sat on the sofa. His hair was white, and his blue eyes looked meaningfully at Jiang Yanshen. Fang Wu stood behind Jiang Yanshen and said respectfully, ¡°Professor Morse, I¡¯ll leave the rest to you.¡± Morse got up and nodded. In fluent English, he said, ¡°Come with me.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the second floor. Jiang Yanshen followed behind him into the familiar bedroom. The curtains were drawn tightly, and the lights in the room were not switched on. The original sofa and coffee table had been moved away, and there was a carpet and a recliner. There was a smallmp ced on the ss round table beside it, and the light was barely enough to outline the furnishings in the room. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gaze swept around and he let out a coldugh. ¡°You¡¯re quite well-prepared.¡± Professor Morse unbuttoned his suit and took it off before throwing it on the back of the chair beside him.

When he turned around to look at him, a trace of coldness surged in his blue eyes. ¡°Do you need some water?¡± Jiang Yanshen knew that the ¡°water¡± he was referring to was not as simple as normal water. ¡°No need.¡± Morse reached out and made a ¡°please¡± gesture. Jiang Yanshen walked to the recliner and took off his coat. He turned around andy down, cing his hands in front of him. His exquisite facial features were numb and expressionless, as if he was lying on an operating table waiting for an anesthesiologist¡¯s injection¡­ Morse picked up his fountain pen and his work notes and sat down in a chair. His long legs ovepped and his voice was low. ¡°I¡¯ll hypnotize you every day for the next few days. Coupled with the medicine, you¡¯ll disappearpletely in about three days. Do you have anything else you want to say?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s throat bobbed a few times as he turned his head to look at him. The light in his dark eyes was as thin and cold as a de, and he retracted it disdainfully. Morse smiled fakely. ¡°Then let¡¯s start now.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thick eyshes trembled, and he slowly closed his eyes without any hesitation or resistance. For Qianqian, he had no choice but to submit to his fate. At 30,000 feet in the sky, Lin Qingqian fell asleep and had a dream. She woke up with a start and broke out in cold sweat. Her eyes were dull and she was panicking. Han Liubai handed her a tissue and asked with concern, ¡°Did you have a nightmare?¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian wiped the sweat off her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. ¡°I think so, but I don¡¯t remember.¡± However, after waking up from the dream, she was flustered and had an indescribably strange feeling. ¡°Dreams are all fake, whether they¡¯re nightmares or not,¡± Han Liubaiforted her. ¡°Do you want some water?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him and nodded hesitantly. Han Liubai called the flight attendant over and asked her to send a cup of warm water over. Lin Qingqian held the cup and sipped the warm water. Her fingers involuntarily touched the tinum-gold ne around her neck, and the light in her eyes was a little hesitant andplicated. Her mind kept reying Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression at the airport. His eyes seemed to be filled with endless reluctance. His gaze was as if¡­ she would never return from Mn and he would never see her again. Han Liubai lowered his gaze to the ne on her neck. She had been touching the ne¡­ Was she thinking about that person? An hourter, the nended at Mn Airport. Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai got off the ne first while Chen Mu and the makeup artist went to get their luggage. The organizer, S.T, sent a car to pick them up. All the contestants stayed in the same hotel. When Lin Qingqian arrived at the hotel, she undoubtedly bumped into Ming Xiao. However, she was staying in the presidential suite while Lin Qingqian was staying in an ordinary room. After packing up, Lin Qingqian called Jiang Yanshen. After waiting for a long time, no one picked up. When she hung up and was about to call again, Jiang Yanshen called. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice came from the radio. ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Hearing his voice, Lin Qingqian calmed down a lot. ¡°I¡¯m at the hotel. Xiao Bai came with me this time.¡± There was silence on the other end of the phone. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Lin Qingqian asked softly. ¡°No¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen spoke again, his voice filled with unconceble exhaustion. ¡°You¡¯ve been on the ne for so long. You must be very tired. Rest early and focus on preparing for thepetition.¡± Lin Qingqian heard that his voice was not right and asked worriedly, ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I miss you too much. I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low and hoarse voice was mixed with helplessness. ¡°But I¡¯m with Shen Zhiwei. You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Hearing that he was with Shen Zhiwei, Lin Qingqian was indeed much more relieved. ¡°Then listen to the psychiatrist obediently and rest well.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s low voice sounded. ¡°Have a good rest too.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear voice agreed and hung up. She lowered her head and touched the ne on her neck. Thinking of him waiting for her in Lan City, her heart surged with warmth¡­ At the Jiang residence. Jiang Yansheny on the recliner. His face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were bloodshot. Her mental state was abnormally poor. Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was in extreme pain. Fang Wu took the phone away, turned it off, and threw it on the table. His gazended on Professor Morse. Morse¡¯s expression was cold. ¡°Stop resisting stubbornly. You shouldn¡¯t have existed in the first ce¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen bit his thin lips tightly and did not speak. His fingers curled into fists, and he held something tightly in his palm. The cold and stiffness pierced his palm and his heart¡­ Shouldn¡¯t I exist? Then why did they create me back then? All the contestants would rest in the hotel for a day. The next day, everyone would have the chance to enter the S.T. headquarters to take a look. Thepetition would begin on the third day. Luo Tianxue had only arrived in Mn before thepetition. When Lin Qingqian saw her in the lounge, she couldn¡¯t help but tease her. ¡°I thought you were deliberately taking revenge on me and wanted to stand me up.¡± Luo Tianxue revealed an innocent and ingratiating smile. ¡°How can that be! It¡¯s all Brother Ming¡¯s fault. He insisted on helping me ept a cell phone advertisement. The director who filmed the advertisement is a pervert. Otherwise, I would have arrived yesterday.¡± Brother Ming: ¡® You were clearly the one who despised the other party for taking ugly photos of you and insisted on taking a few more. ¡°Don¡¯t say so much. Hurry up and change your clothes and put on your makeup!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t be bothered to care whose fault it was. The most important thing now was for thepetition to proceed smoothly. Luo Tianxue said excitedly, ¡°Qingqian, what beautiful clothes did you design this time? Let me take a look.¡¯ Lin Qingqian did not say anything. She moved aside and lifted the ck cloth covering the hanger¡­ Luo Tianxue and Brother Ming looked over at the same time, their eyes involuntarily lit up with the same amazement. Seeing their stunned expressions, Lin Qingqian knew that her design had seeded this time. Although she couldn¡¯t guarantee that she would definitely get first ce, there should be no problem entering the finals. The semi-finals in Mn didn¡¯t have an audience voting system. Instead, there were 20 specially invited fashion masters who scored with the event location judges to select the top 10 to advance to the finals. The 20 designers in the semi-finals had all stood out from thepetitions of various countries. They were the most popr designers in the past few years. Among them, the ones who received the most attention were Ming Xiao and Lin Qingqian. Ming Xiao had a good resume and was the editor-in-chief of a domestic magazine. On the other hand, Lin Qingqian had an independent brand and worked with White. Whether it was domestically or overseas, she received much attention. Theizens in the country were also very concerned about thispetition. Theizens who supported Ming Xiao and Lin Qingqian were naturally divided into two factions. Xu Zhao was not so popr and waspletely an ordinary person. Moreover, he was also introverted and basically did not like to talk. Basically, no one mentioned ms name. The event location of thepetition was ced in the hotel. S.T. had long sent someone to set up the event location, and the people from the television station had alsoe to install the cameras. Although the process of thepetition couldn¡¯t be synchronized to the country, many Chinese fans at the event location had already prepared chargers and cameras. They nned to record the entire process and send it to their friends back home as soon as possible. There were 20 fashion designers in pairs. The models would walk on the runway together, and the designers would go on stage together. At the same time, they would describe their ideas and inspirations to the judges. Coincidentally, Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao were divided into the same group. Ming Xiao¡¯s model was still Zhou Jinran, and Lin Qingqian¡¯s model had already been changed from Li Wenwen to Luo Tianxue. Zhou Jinran nced at Luo Tianxue¡¯s clothes from the corner of her eye. The light in her eyes was mixed and disappeared in an instant. Luo Tianxue held a fan embroidered with mountains and rivers in her hand and revealed a sweet smile. ¡°Senior Zhou¡¯s style today¡­ is quite unique!¡± Ming Xiao had designed an evening gown with a lotus theme this time, so the style was still very exaggerated and couldn¡¯t show off Zhou Jinran¡¯s slender figure. When Zhou Jinran heard this, she frowned slightly and looked at her with a deeper gaze. For a moment, she didn¡¯t know if her words were sincere or sarcastic! Luo Tianxue waved her fan gently like a graceful youngdy, and her voice was much gentler than usual. ¡°I heard that Senior Zhou was nominated for the Best Actress Award. I haven¡¯t had the time to congratte you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± After Zhou Jinran said these two words coldly, she couldn¡¯t help but add, ¡°I heard that you epted Director Ding¡¯s new role.¡± Luo Tianxue nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Zhou Jinran¡¯s eyes turned even colder. This script was originally handed to her first. She was still hesitating if she should take it when Director Ding sent a message saying that Luo Tianxue was confirmed. She also heard that it was because Lu Dongcheng had sponsored Director Ding¡¯s new movie for 100 million. A flower vase who relied on a man to climb up the ranks really thought she was someone important? ¡°Director Ding is famous for being strict. You can¡¯t fool him with just a forced cry or two.¡± Zhou Jinran¡¯s voice was cold as she nced disdainfully at her legs. ¡°Lu Dongcheng¡¯s taste is getting worse.¡± With that, she walked up the stairs and was about to go on stage. Luo Tianxue: A glint shed across her smoky eyes. Her red lips pursed slightly, and the smile on her lips was cold and terrifying. When the host introduced the two of them to the venue, Luo Tianxue twisted her waist and walked to Zhou Jinran¡¯s side. She turned her head and smiled at her. Before Zhou Jinran could react to her smile, the two of them walked towards the runway¡­ Chapter 354 - 354: Untitled Chapter 354: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao stood under the stage and watched as the two of them walked over with their own brilliance. Ming Xiao nced at Lin Qingqian coldly from the corner of his eye, unable to hide the jealousy in her eyes. Lin Qingqian did not even look at her. She focused on Luo Tianxue on the runway, her eyes filled with praise. The cheongsam could only be disyed better with Luo Tianxue¡¯s temperament. The two of them walked to the designated spot on the catwalk and stopped. They turned around so that the judges could see them better. The seven judges at the judges¡¯ table revealed looks of approval when they saw the two clothes. They lowered their heads and whispered something to the people around them. More than ten secondster, Luo Tianxue and Zhou Jinran walked back. Just as she was about to leave the stage, Luo Tianxue¡¯s high heels stepped on Zhou Jinran¡¯s skirt. With a hiss, more than half of her skirt was torn open, like a brilliant lotus petal that had suddenly been torn apart. Zhou Jinran¡¯s expression suddenly turned ugly as she red at Luo Tianxue angrily. Luo Tianxue¡¯s exquisite face was filled with innocence and fear. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Senior¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose¡­¡± ¡°I ruined such a beautiful design. What should I do?¡± She looked even more anxious than Zhou Jinran and med herself until her eyes turned red. When she reached out to touch Zhou Jinran¡¯s dress, Zhou Jinran pushed her away and warned sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± Lin Qingqian and Ming Xiao came over from the front and wanted to go on stage with them. Before they got close, they heard their argument and hurriedly walked over. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Lin Qingqian walked to Luo Tianxue¡¯s side and asked. Luo Tianxue¡¯s eyes were filled with tears as she med herself. ¡°Qingqian, when I came down, I identally stepped on Senior¡¯s dress and tore it. What should I do?¡± She shook Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm as if she was the one being bullied. Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® When Ming Xiao saw that her hard work had been destroyed, her eyes were immediately filled with killing intent as she shot it at Luo Tianxue. Luo Tianxue seemed to be frightened by her and hid behind Lin Qingqian while trembling. ¡°It¡¯s just the semi-finals. Is it worth you using such despicable methods?¡± Ming Xiao mocked coldly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm as she replied unhurriedly, ¡°She said it was an ident. ¡± ¡°You know very well if it¡¯s an ident,¡± Ming Xiao sneered. ¡°You¡¯re going on stage in less than two minutes. You should think about how to remedy the situation!¡± Lin Qingqian said indifferently. Ming Xiao¡¯s lips curled into a cold and charming smile. ¡°That¡¯s simple¡­¡¯ She walked in front of Luo Tianxue and raised a pair of scissors in her hand, about to stab Luo Tianxue. Luo Tianxue¡¯s expression suddenly changed. Before she could react, Lin Qingqian grabbed her wrist, her expression as cold as ice. Ming Xiao wanted to shake off Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand, but she didn¡¯t have as much strength. ¡°You can destroy my clothes, but if you hurt her¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian paused and looked at Luo Tianxue, whose face was slightly pale. ¡°Are you sure you want to offend Lu Dongcheng?¡± Ming Xiao had never suffered such humiliation before. Right now, she only wanted to cut Lin Qingqian¡¯s clothes. As for the life and death of Luo Tianxue, that b*tch, it was not important. If she hurt Luo Tianxue, she would offend Lu Dongcheng. Now that Lu Dongcheng was developing rapidly in Lan City, he might be able to be another big shot next to the Jiang Family very soon. Her father was thinking of a way to annex the Jiang Family. The Ming Corporation should not make more enemies now. Ming Xiao looked at her coldly and snorted before leaving. Zhou Jinran frowned. ¡°What should we do now?¡± Ming Xiao stopped in her tracks when he passed by her. Her gazended on her torn dress and she said in a cold voice, ¡°The trash should be in the trash can.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she left without looking back. Zhou Jinran understood the meaning behind her words and did not say anything else. She looked meaningfully at Luo Tianxue and turned to leave. Luo Tianxue, who was trembling in fear a second ago, was furious. ¡°This Ming Xiao actually dared to hurt me!¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and her expression darkened slightly. ¡°If not for Lu Dongcheng supporting you, she would have already killed you!¡± Luo Tianxue¡¯s delicate face was filled with dark emotions. ¡°Who asked Zhou Jinran to mock me!¡± She had never been one to hold grudges. But if she had a grudge, she would vent it out on the spot. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about Ming Xiao dealing with you. I¡¯m here too.¡± Luo Tianxue thought that she was worried that Ming Xiao would take revenge on her andforted her. ¡°The old enmity between Ming Xiao and me doesn¡¯t matter much, but Ming Xiao this woman¡­¡± Lin Qingqian paused and reminded her kindly, ¡°You¡¯ve offended her. You have to be careful in the future.¡± Ming Xiao would never let Luo Tianxue off just like that. Luo Tianxue snorted disapprovingly. ¡°Ask her to bring it on. Who¡¯s afraid?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly. ¡°That¡¯s right. One of you is a green tea b*tch, and the other is a ck lotus. I was worried for nothing.¡± Luo Tianxue: Ming Xiao had withdrawn from thepetition, and the cheongsam designed by Lin Qingqian had won the favor of the five judges at the event location. The other two judges were mean and tricky in their questions for Lin Qingqian, but Lin Qingqian¡¯s answers were watertight, and she still entered the finals with the good result of first ce. In addition, Xu Zhao¡¯s designs incorporating the distinctive characteristics of a minority ethnic group also made it to the finals, while the other eight designerse from eight different countries. The finals would be held in half a month with the champions battle. In other words, the ten contestants had to design and make two sets of clothes to participate in the finals and finals within half a month. Among them, three of them had the risk of not being able to enter the champions round. Because of the time constraints, some designers stayed in Mn and didn¡¯t go back. However, Lin Qingqian had decided from the beginning that she wanted to return to Lan City after the semi-finals. She had asked Su Ying to book the tickets in advance. However, before she returned, there was already a wave of public opinion on the domestic inte. The reason was that Ming Xiao had withdrawn from thepetition while Lin Qingqian had obtained a high score of first ce with her design of the cheongsam. On Weibo, someone immediately posted a suggestive post, insinuating that someone sabotaged another designer¡¯s work in order to secure the first ce Before Lin Qingqian¡¯spany could publish a rification, and before the fans could be happy, they were caught off guard and scolded by the entire Inte. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans: ? Lin Qingqian was not surprised to receive Su Ying¡¯s call. Luo Tianxue had made Ming Xiao suffer such a huge loss. Since Ming Xiao could not touch Luo Tianxue, she naturally had to vent her anger on her. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. The prepared documents will continue to be published. The rest will be resolved by someone,¡± Lin Qingqian said indifferently. This matter was caused by Luo Tianxue himself, so she naturally had to clean up the mess herself. The little girl couldn¡¯t be spoiled, or she would easily grow up crooked. When Lin Qingqian packed her luggage and called Jiang Yanshen, no one picked up. Presumably, he was busy with work, so she did not call again and walked out of the room with her luggage. Han Liubai happened toe out of the room next door and his gazended on her luggage. ¡°You¡¯re done packing so quickly?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯m going to the airport early so that I won¡¯t be dyed by the traffic jam.¡± ¡°Then wait for me. I still have something to pack.¡± Han Liubai revealed an apologetic expression. Lin Qingqian smiled faintly. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Take your time to pack. I¡¯ll go and settle the procedures first.¡± Han Liubai nodded, his eyes following her back. The gentleness in his eyes disappeared bit by bit, leaving only aplicated and obscure expression. At the airport. Lin Qingqian and Han Liubai brought the makeup artist and Chen Mu into the VIP waiting room and saw Ming Xiao sitting in front of the bar. For a moment, the air was filled with invisible smoke. Ming Xiao looked at her as if the words ¡°enemies on a narrow road¡± were written in her eyes. Chen Mu didn¡¯t care much and asked respectfully, ¡°Madam, what do you want to drink?¡± ¡°Juice,¡± Lin Qingqian replied softly and asked Han Liubai and the makeup artist. The two of them asked for coffee. Chen Mu went to order and Ming Xiao happened to walk over with a coffee cup. Han Liubai slowly frowned and subconsciously blocked in front of Lin Qingqian. His eyes were slightly cold, and there was a hint of warning in them. Ming Xiao stopped in her tracks and smiled with her red lips. ¡°You¡¯re really lucky to have an escort wherever you go.¡± Lin Qingqian stood sideways beside Han Liubai and said unhurriedly, ¡°Senior¡¯s sidekicks are all gone.¡± Ming Xiao did not get angry when she heard the sarcasm in her words. She stared at her meaningfully and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t congratted you for taking first ce and entering the finals, but¡­¡± She paused and the smile on her face deepened. She said slowly, ¡°I¡¯ve prepared a big gift for you in Lan City. I hope you like it.¡± A trace of doubt shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. Before she could ask further, she heard Han Liubai¡¯s low voice say, ¡°Editor-in-chief Ming, please respect yourself.¡± Ming Xiao nced at him and took a sip of coffee before handing the coffee cup to the makeup artist. The makeup artist was stunned. She seemed to have instinctively reached out to catch it. She was on the brink of tears and wanted to exin. ¡°President Lin, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Send it back to the bar.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t me her. Only then did the makeup artist heave a sigh of relief and hurriedly ce the cup on the bar. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look in the direction that Ming Xiao had left in, her clear eyes filled with ayer of fog. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Han Liubai asked gently. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head. ¡°Nothing.¡± She felt a little strange. With Ming Xiao¡¯s vengeful personality, Luo Tianxue had ruined her design. She should hate her to the core, but why¡­ She did not look angry at all. In fact, she looked a little¡­ happy? What was the big gift she was talking about? ¡°She¡¯s a lunatic. Don¡¯t take her words seriously. She might have said it on purpose to make you uneasy and affect your subsequentpetition.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s words pulled her out of her chaotic thoughts. Lin Qingqian looked up at him and moved her lips. ¡°Perhaps.¡± Lan City, International Airport. Lin Qingqian and the others walked out of the international exit. Many people were holding signs at the exit to wee them. She casually nced around but did not see a familiar figure. Han Liubai pushed his luggage and asked, ¡°Do you need a lift?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. Chen Mu¡¯s car is parked at the airport.¡± Lin Qingqian rejected with a smile. ¡°Go back and rest well. You don¡¯t have toe to thepany tomorrow.¡± The makeup artist was very happy to hear that she did not have to go to work tomorrow, but Han Liubai did not react. He pushed his luggage and boarded a taxi. Chen Mu went to the parking lot to drive the car over. Lin Qingqian stood by the roadside and waited. She opened her cell phone and saw that Jiang Yanshen had yet to reply to the WeChat message she had sent to him before boarding the ne. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t have time to pick me up, don¡¯t he even have time to reply to my message?¡± Chapter 355 - 355: Untitled Chapter 355 - 355: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Begonia Courtyard. When Lin Qingqian walked into the house, the auntie was stunned when she saw her. Then, she said happily, ¡°Madam is back.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± She looked around but did not see Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Where¡¯s Sir?¡± ¡°Sir has been very busy with work recently and hasn¡¯te back much,¡± the auntie replied. Then, she asked, ¡°Madam, what do you want to eat tonight?¡± ¡°Make me anything. I¡¯m not very hungry.¡±
¡°Alright.¡± The auntie went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Chen Mu sent the luggage to her room and went back first. Lin Qingqian took a shower and changed intofortable home clothes. After eating a simple meal, shey on the bed and yed with her cell phone while waiting for Jiang Yanshen. Unknowingly, she fell asleep. In her daze, she heard footsteps and then seemed to feel someone approaching her. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and saw a blurry and familiar figure. She said in azy voice, ¡°Ah Yan, you¡¯re back.¡± ¡°En.¡± The man who had just walked to the bed sat down with a smile and responded lightly. Lin Qingqian got up and hugged his neck. She narrowed her eyes and muttered, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you reply to my messages¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen hugged her and turned his head slightly. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his warm breath and low and hoarse voice entered her ears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was too busy and forgot¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian turned her head and leaned on his shoulder. Her red lips curled up slightly and she was about to speak when her breathing suddenly stopped, and her chaotic mind suddenly became clear. The hands around his neck suddenly moved to push him away and she looked at him warily¡­ Caught off guard by her push, he almost fell to the ground. His clear eyes stared at her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± His exquisite facial features were filled with confusion. Lin Qingqian sat on the bed and stared at him for a long time. He had the same facial features, the same expression, and the same voice, but¡­ He was not Jiang Yanshen! ¡°Who are you?¡± Her pursed lips curled up, and her voice was cold. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± His thin lips parted slightly and he said gently, ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen. Qianqian, what¡¯s wrong?¡± He reached out to touch her head, but before his fingertips could touch her, Lin Qingqian warned coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! ¡± His arm froze in midair, and the light in his ck eyes gradually darkened¡­ Lin Qingqian retreated and got off the bed to distance herself from him. Her eyes were filled with vignce and confusion. ¡°You¡¯re not Ah Yan. Who exactly are you?¡± His arms hung down and he stood up as well. He looked at her with interest and did not say anything. An absurd thought surged into Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind. ¡°You¡¯re¡­ the third personality?¡± This thought was ridiculous, but it wasn¡¯t impossible. She had seen some movie introductions. Some people had more than 30 personalities. It did not seem impossible for Jiang Yanshen to have a third one. He lowered his head andughed. When he looked up, his eyes were evil and excited. ¡°I¡¯m very curious. How did you recognize me?¡± For the past few days, he had been pretending to be that person. No one suspected anything. Why did she recognize him in less than three minutes? ¡°If I tell you, will you tell me who you are?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. He nodded. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Ebony agarwood.¡± ¡°What?¡± He frowned, his ck eyes filled with confusion. ¡°You don¡¯t smell like ebony agarwood,¡± Lin Qingqian exined. Her gazended on the perfume bottle on the bedside table. ¡°That¡¯s a perfume I like. He uses it every day.¡± ¡°I see.¡± He had been living in the Jiang residence for the past few days and did not use perfume, so he naturally did not have the smell of ebony wood on him. ¡°Now, you can tell me who you are!¡± Lin Qingqian stared at him with her bright and slightly cold eyes. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at her with his dark eyes.. ¡°You don¡¯t remember me so soon?¡± Chapter 356 - 356: “His name is Jiang Yan. Yan, Meaning Hate. â€� Chapter 356 - 356: ¡°His name is Jiang Yan. Yan, Meaning Hate. ¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian was stunned and did not react for a moment. He lowered his head for a few seconds. When he looked up again, his eyes were clear and pure. He asked in a childish voice, ¡°Big Sister, do I have to talk to you like this to make you remember?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused, and her clear pupils involuntarily dted. Her face was filled with surprise and disbelief. ¡°Jiang¡­ Xiao Jiu?¡± Lin Qingqian felt her heart beating faster, and then she became even more puzzled. ¡°Aren¡¯t you only nine years old?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± He sneered evilly, and his eyes regained their maliciousness. His thin lips pursed slightly as he mocked, ¡°I thought you were a smart person. I didn¡¯t expect¡­ you to be as stupid as them!¡±
¡°What?¡± The more Lin Qingqian listened, the more confused she became. He walked towards Lin Qingqian with his long legs and his cold voice sounded unhurriedly. ¡°From the beginning to the end, there was no Jiang Xiao Jiu. I¡¯m the real Jiang Yanshen, and the person who was with you previously was my second personality¡ªJiang Yan. ¡± ¡°Impossible!¡± Lin Qingqian blurted out reflexively, her bright eyes flickering with determination. ¡°How can you be Jiang Yanshen? Jiang Xiao Jiu, even if you have intelligence, it doesn¡¯t mean that you¡¯re Jiang Yanshen. Don¡¯t lie to me.¡± He raised his hand and scratched the corner of his eyebrows. His thin lips moved slightly. ¡°You can choose not to believe me. But what about Shen Zhiwei¡¯s words?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with surprise. He even knew Shen Zhiwei!! ¡°All these years, Shen Zhiwei has been helping him suppress my appearance. You¡¯ll know if I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen or not if you ask her.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to ask Shen Zhiwei. Ask Ah Yan toe out. I¡¯ll ask him myself.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart had been beating rapidly, and a chill ran down her spine. She did not believe every word that this man said. Jiang Yanshen shrugged innocently, looking very regretful. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you won¡¯t be able to see him again.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Lin Qingqian immediately asked, her eyes filled with nervousness. ¡°He¡¯s only my second personality. Now that I¡¯m back, he should naturally disappear.¡± His thin lips curled up slightly, and his smile was evil and terrifying. ¡°I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Lin Qingqian clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. The pain reminded her to calm down and not panic, but her voice still betrayed her emotions. Her voice trembled slightly. ¡°You¡¯re lying to me. Let him out. I want to see him!¡± A trace of impatience shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold brows. His well-defined fingers grabbed her chin tightly and raised it, forcing her to look into his eyes. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯d better recognize this reality. I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen. Jiang Yan is just a split personality. Now, he haspletely disappeared from this world.¡¯ Lin Qingqian flung his hand away forcefully and pursed her lips tightly. Every word seemed to be squeezed out of her throat. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, I don¡¯t believe anything you say!¡± With that, she ran past him. Jiang Yanshen turned around and looked at her back as she disappeared at the door. His thin lips curved up as he sneered. ¡°How stupid.¡± He knew very well where Lin Qingqian was going, so he didn¡¯t stop her. Since she had already discovered it, there was nothing to hide. Letting her recognize reality would save her more trouble. There was no need for him to pretend to be that person anymore. At the psychiatric clinic. Shen Zhiwei had just opened the office door when she saw Lin Qingqian in dark blue pajamas. Her feet were bare, and her face was pale. ¡°Come in.¡± Shen Zhiwei was not surprised at all, as if she had long known that she woulde. She turned around and went to the cab on the desk to get a pair of disposable slippers. Lin Qingqian walked in with stiff legs and stared at her figure without blinking. The shock, disbelief, and doubts on the way had all disappeared at this moment. Her bright eyes slowly turned red. When the mist condensed into beads and rolled down, the firm belief in her heart copsed at this moment. Shen Zhiwei ced the slippers in front of her and said gently, ¡°Put on the slippers first.¡± Lin Qingqian stood there without moving. Bean-sized tears fell from her eyes, and her voice was choked. ¡°He¡­ is telling the truth!¡± Shen Zhiwei knew who this ¡°he¡± she was referring to and nodded slowly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Her hoarse voice sounded. Before Shen Zhiwei could answer, she repeated, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?!¡± Her voice was raised, mixed with grievance. It was such an important thing.. How could she not tell her? Shen Zhiwei did not say anything. She bent down and helped her put on her slippers. Then, she pulled her to sit on the sofa and handed her a piece of paper. Lin Qingqian¡¯s teary eyes stared at her without any reaction. Shen Zhiwei took a deep breath and said in a depressed voice, ¡°His name is Jiang Yan. Yan, meaning hate.¡± Her tone paused slightly. Although it was cruel, she continued, ¡°It¡¯s a personality that split from Jiang Yanshen¡¯s mind.¡± ¡°We always thought that Jiang Yanshen only had the intelligence of a nine-year-old, so we fabricated the identity of Jiang Xiao Jiu to let you think that he was Jiang Yan¡¯s second personality.¡± Her tear-stained eyshes fluttered. ¡°Fabricated?¡± Shen Zhiwei met her tearful gaze and nodded, ¡°Whether it¡¯s bipr disorder or dissociative identity disorder, Jiang Yan intentionally let you know about them, for the purpose of¡­¡¯ After a pause, she braced herself and continued, ¡°For the purpose of getting back together with you.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything, but another bean-sized tear rolled out, shining with a broken light on her pale skin. ¡°Actually, we only found out recently that Jiang Yanshen¡¯s intelligence is not just nine years old. He has been disguising himself, giving control of his body to Jiang Yan, and now he wants to regain control. As the second personality, Jiang Yan can¡¯t fight with Jiang Yanshen for control of his body.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and wiped the cold tears off her face. She looked up with red eyes and said, ¡°I want to see him.¡± Be it Jiang Yanshen or Jiang Yan, they should exin it to her personally and give her an exnation. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. ording to what I know, Jiang Yanshen hired a famous psychology professor, Morse, to perform hypnosis and treatment.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyes were calm and couldn¡¯t help but reveal sympathy. ¡°If nothing unexpected happens, the personality of Jiang Yan should have been erased.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s body clearly trembled. She pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but it was like a fishbone was stuck in her throat, and she couldn¡¯t say a word. She only felt terrible in her heart. It was so painful that she was about to die. Shen Zhiwei¡¯s heart ached when she saw her like this. She felt a little guilty for cooperating with Jiang Yan to deceive her back then. ¡°Because he¡¯s a split personality. He doesn¡¯t have the experiences of a normal person from birth to adulthood. He can¡¯t understand what family love is, what friendship is, or even love. He doesn¡¯t have the instincts of a normal person. Normally, a split personality will also have an antisocial personality. Although Jiang Yan is not antisocial, he has an emotional cognitive disorder. He tried his best to pretend to be a normal person, so he used all kinds of methods to reconcile with you. But in the end, he¡¯s not a normal person. He can¡¯t have the emotions of a normal person. ¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s every word was like a knife stabbing into Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart, defeating all her persistence and final defense. Lin Qingqian did not cry anymore, but her eyes that had been washed by her tears became even dimmer and hollower. Her expression was numb, and her heart was almost dead. He¡¯s been erased. He couldn¡¯t experience kinship, friendship, or even love. He was not a normal person after all. Therefore, everything was fake. Jiang Xiao Jiu was fake. The so-called love and marriage were all fake. It was just a joke. From the beginning to the end, he had never loved her. From the beginning to the end, her love was a joke. And now, it is all over. Lin Qingqian crossed her cold hands together, intertwining them so hard that her fingertips turned green and white. A momentter, she stood up without a word and walked to the door. Shen Zhiwei stood up as well and couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Madam Jiang¡­¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender figure clearly trembled, then she straightened her back and walked out without saying a word. Shen Zhiwei looked at her defeated expression and felt a huge weight on her heart. She couldn¡¯t help but sigh and curse secretly. Jiang Yan, you bastard. You patted your butt and left, leaving a pile of mess for me to clean up. You¡¯d better not appear for the rest of your life, or I won¡¯t let you off. It was cold in Lan City in April. At night, the temperature was bone-chilling. The pedestrians on the road were wearing thick and warm coats. No one would notice who they passed by in a hurry. Lin Qingqian was walking aimlessly on the road in her thin pajamas. She was wearing the disposable slippers Shen Zhiwei had given her and had even lost one. She looked at the path under his feet that stretched very far away. It was so far that there was no end, and she couldn¡¯t see any hope. She suddenly stopped and slowly squatted down to hug herself. She bit her pink lips tightly, as if she was trying her best to endure something. The car that was slowly driving by the roadside also stopped. Through the car window, Han Liubai watched as she squatted by the roadside like an abandoned little animal. She had nowhere to go and was trembling in the cold night. A trace of heart ache shed across his gentle eyes. In the end, she still discovered the truth. Although it was very cruel¡­ at least she should have seen clearly that it was not worth it to love such a person. Raindrops fell from the dark night sky and quickly drenched the ground¡­ Lin Qingqian was still squatting on the ground in the same position. Han Liubai finally couldn¡¯t sit still anymore. He opened the umbre and got out of the car to walk to her side. Lin Qingqian slowly raised her head to look at him. There was no tear on her pale face, but her expression was even sadder than crying. It was an indescribable sense of confusion and emptiness¡­ Han Liubai pulled her arm and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at him with obscure eyes. She did not speak or move. When Han Liubai pulled her, a devilish and mocking voice came from behind. ¡°Please let go of my wife.¡± Han Liubai stopped in his tracks and turned around to see Jiang Yanshen standing under a square umbre through the rain.. Chapter 357 - 357: “The Person You Fell in Love with at First Sight Is Me, Not Jiang Yan Chapter 357 - 357: ¡°The Person You Fell in Love with at First Sight Is Me, Not Jiang Yan Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen was wearing a ck suit. Even his inner shirt was ck. But he was different from that person. He liked to button every button of his shirt, strict and abstinent. Jiang Yanshen, on the other hand, twisted the first button open and unbuttoned it. His corbone was faintly discernible, and when his ck eyes nced at her, they were half-smiling, giving off a devilish aura. When he walked over, Fang Wu followed behind him obediently and held an umbre for him. Han Liubai¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°She¡¯s not your wife.¡±
Lin Qingqian had married that man called Jiang Yan. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled up as he sneered. ¡°The name Jiang Yanshen is written on our marriage certificate. Do you need me to show it to you?¡± Her gazended on his hand that was holding Lin Qingqian¡¯s wrist, and his gaze was instantly as sharp as a de. Before Han Liubai could speak, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were filled with impatience. He took a big step forward and looked into his eyes. He leaned over and carried Lin Qingqian horizontally. He forced Han Liubai to let go. Lin Qingqian¡¯s empty eyes stared at the man hugging her. It was clearly the same face, the same body¡­ But it was so obviously different that she could tell that he was not that same person. He was not the one who said, ¡°Other than you, no one else in this world has ever loved me.¡± Seeing that he was about to carry Lin Qingqian away, Han Liubai wanted to chase after her, but Fang Wu turned around and blocked in front of him with a ruthless expression. He stopped in his tracks and could only watch as Lin Qingqian was carried into the car. Fang Wu put away his umbre, turned around, and quickly got into the car. He started the engine and left quickly. Han Liubai held the umbre and watched helplessly as the car disappeared into the rain¡­ The heater in the car was turned on very well, but Lin Qingqian still felt very cold. A steady stream of coldness surged out of her heart, and she curled up into a ball, trembling uncontrobly. Jiang Yanshen nced at her disdainfully. After hesitating for a moment, he unbuttoned his suit and took it off before throwing it at her head very gently. Lin Qingqian moved her stiff fingers, pulled off her coat that was filled with an unfamiliar smell, and turned to look at the face in the dark. Fang Wu didn¡¯t drive the car to Begonia Courtyard. Instead, he drove to the Jiang residence. Jiang Yanshen pushed open the car door and got out. When he turned around and saw that she was still sitting in the car without moving, he frowned slightly. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you getting out of the car? Are you waiting for me to carry you out?¡± The moment he spoke, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart seemed to be pierced by something, and pain spread to her limbs and bones. Fang Wu got out of the car and opened the door for her. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car. She looked up and saw the Jiang residence¡¯s door open. There were two servants standing at the door with respectful expressions. Perhaps it was because her movements were slow, but Jiang Yanshen was getting impatient from waiting. He walked up to her, grabbed her slender wrist, and strode into the house. When they passed by the door, he instructed, ¡°All of you, you¡¯re dismissed. No one is allowed toe up.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir.¡± The servants tactfully returned to their rooms. Lin Qingqian was pulled all the way to the second floor by him. When she reached the entrance of the greenhouse, he stopped and turned to look at her. ¡°Now you believe me. I¡¯m the real Jiang Yanshen.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked and looked at him without saying anything. She pulled her hand out of his palm. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold gaze swept across her hand. His thin lips curled up in disdain as he mocked, ¡°Don¡¯t wear that sad look as if your husband has died. I¡¯m still alive.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly, and her tightly pursed lips rxed. The smell of blood filled her mouth as she said hoarsely, ¡°I¡¯m very tired and want to rest.¡± She then turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen frowned and stepped forward to grab her hand, pushing her against the ss door. Lin Qingqian was stunned. She reacted and wanted to push him away. ¡°What are you doing? Let go of me!¡± Jiang Yanshen grabbed her thin shoulders with both hands and licked the corner of his lips impatiently. His voice was tense. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t you understand?¡± Lin Qingqian paused and stared at him in confusion. ¡°The first person you saw here and the one who smiled at you, the person you fell in love with at first sight, that¡¯s me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. The hand that wanted to push him away suddenly lost its strength and fell to her side. Her dry voice said in disbelief, ¡°You, what did you say? ¡°The person you fell in love with at first sight is me, not Jiang Yan.¡± His hand that was holding her shoulder loosened as he turned his head to gaze at the scene of vibrant flowers in the greenhouse. A trace of gentle and unguarded affection shed in the depths of his shadowy eyes. ¡°The first time I saw you was in this greenhouse. You were wearing a id shirt and jeans. The in white shoes on your feet were washed until they were almost torn.¡± The way he looked at her was filled with mockery, and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re really stupid. You can¡¯t even tell who the person you fell in love with at first sight is.¡± Lin Qingqian felt that her entire world was about to copse. All her memories and knowledge had been overturned and denied in just a few hours. Everything she had seen and heard all these years was fake. For a moment, she wondered if she was dreaming. When she woke up from the dream, Ah Yan was still Ah Yan, Jiang Xiao Jiu was still Jiang Xiao Jiu, and nothing had changed. When Jiang Yanshen saw that her face was as pale as a female ghost, he trembled unconsciously and swallowed the words that were about toe out of his mouth. His throat moved a few times as he took a few deep breaths and said, ¡°Although you¡¯re the woman Jiang Yan married for me, as long as you¡¯re obedient, the position of Madam Jiang will still be yours.¡± After a pause, he added in disdain, ¡°In any case, I don¡¯t really like any woman. It¡¯s the same no matter who I marry.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and did not speak, as if she did not hear anything. Seeing that she was still like a block of wood and didn¡¯t react, Jiang Yanshen frowned, his handsome features filled with impatience. ¡°Forget it, rest first.¡± With that, he turned around and walked downstairs. Lin Qingqian finally looked up and turned to look at his back. A tear rolled down her face and she suddenly smiled. ¡°¡­Madam Jiang.¡± Her voice was filled with self-mockery. What kind of Madam Jiang was she? And whose Madam Jiang was she? What did these two Jiang Yanshen think of her? An idiot? Was it fun to y with her like this? When Jiang Yanshen went downstairs, Fang Wu had already changed into wet clothes, but his hair was still dripping wet. He called out respectfully, ¡°Mr. Jiang. ¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded coldly and instructed him, ¡°Get someone to keep an eye on her and monitor her phone. Don¡¯t let her speak nonsense outside.¡± Fang Wu nodded. ¡®Yes, Mr. Jiang.¡± Seeing that he was about to go out, he immediately held up the umbre. ¡°Mr. Jiang, are you going out?¡± ¡°1942.¡± Lin Qingqian did not stay in the Jiang residence for long and asked the servant to call Chen Mu to pick her up. She did not like being in the Jiang residence. There were too many memories in the Jiang residence that she did not want to remember, especially¡­ the memories of the greenhouse. That was originally the best part of her memory, but after hearing Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s words, she felt that it was the most unbearable part. It turned out that the love at first sight she had always thought of was a joke. The boy who tempted her with a single nce was Jiang Xiao Jiu, but she had chased after Jiang Yanshen for four years. No wonder Jiang Yanshen rarely smiled at her. No wonder every time she said that she liked him, he would reveal an iprehensible expression. The bathtub was filled with hot water. Lin Qingqiany in the bathtub without even taking off her clothes. The warm water was driving away the coldness in her body bit by bit. She looked up at the bathmp on the ceiling in a daze. An image suddenly appeared in her mind. ¡ªYou, are you still Jiang Yanshen? ¡ªWhat if¡­ I say no? It turned out that he had told her a long, long time ago that he was not Jiang Yanshen. She was too stupid to have never realized it. Perhaps it was because the light was too dazzling, but it hurt her eyes. She raised her watery hand to cover her eyes¡­ Clear water kept flowing out from between her fingers. 1942, private room. Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa and drank a ss of wine, his cold and good-looking eyebrows rxed. He had pretended to be Jiang Xiao Jiu for so long. He could finally be his real self. This feeling was really good. With Jiang Chongjing gone and Li Gun in prison, all the people he hated had disappeared. This feeling was toofortable. Just as he was enjoying this moment of victory and freedom, the door of the private room was pushed open and Ming Xiao walked in in her high heels. She couldn¡¯t help but hold her breath when she saw the man on the sofa. It was undeniable that the man in front of her was really the chosen one. Just his face alone made it difficult for women not to be tempted. Compared to the previous Jiang Yan, this living and evil Jiang Yanshen was even more tempting. ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve finally be yourself again.¡± Ming Xiao walked to his side and sat down. She took the initiative to pick up the cup on the table and poured herself a ss of wine. Jiang Yanshen nced at her from the corner of his eyes, his thin lips stained with the lustrous luster of alcohol. Ming Xiao clinked sses with him, the admiration in her eyes undisguised. ¡°Next, it¡¯s time for you to settle the divorce procedures with Lin Qingqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen took a sip of whiskey and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Ming Xiao ced her hand on his shoulder and smiled evilly. ¡°What do you think?¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyshes to hide the fleeting emotions in his eyes. He calmly removed her hand from his body. ¡°I¡¯ve just regained control of my body. I still have a lot of things to deal with.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s pupils constricted slightly as she probed, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you can¡¯t bear to part with that woman? Jiang Yanshen looked at her disdainfully and said in a cold and disdainful tone, ¡°How can that be? How can I fancy the woman that idiot married!¡± Ming Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Then I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± Jiang Yanshen clinked sses with her and drank it all in one gulp. When he nced at her from the corner of his eye, he looked at her with disdain as if he was looking at an ant. The rainst night seemed to have washed away the lead in this city, and the clear air was filled with the smell of nature. When Lin Qingqian went downstairs, her face was pale, and her dark circles were very heavy. Even her foundation could not hide them. The auntie said with concern, ¡°Madam, you don¡¯t look good. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?¡± ¡°No need, I just didn¡¯t sleep well,¡± Lin Qingqian said. Her voice was hoarse, and there seemed to be a ball of fire burning in her throat. The auntie brought over breakfast. It was Lin Qingqian¡¯s favorite shredded chicken porridge and tea eggs. When she saw the tea egg, Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes dimmed. She couldn¡¯t help but recall how she had forced Ah Yan to eat a boiled egg every day and even knocked it on his head every time. ¡°Madam, is the breakfast not to your liking?¡± The auntie asked curiously when she saw that she did not move. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head. She picked up the spoon and had just taken a sip of the shredded chicken porridge when she suddenly felt nauseous¡­ She got up and ran to the washroom.. Chapter 358 - 358: He Said He Wanted to Give You a Child Chapter 358 - 358: He Said He Wanted to Give You a Child Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The auntie followed worriedly and saw Lin Qingqian standing in front of the basin, retching. She said worriedly, ¡°Madam, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian tried her best to suppress the nausea. She took a few deep breaths and shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Perhaps I caught a coldst night.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll go get the cold medicine for Madam.¡± ¡°Help me get a ss of hot water and a coat,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly in a hoarse voice. ¡°Alright.¡± The aunt went upstairs to get her coat.
Lin Qingqian took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. She looked up at the haggard woman in the mirror and slowly ced her palm on her t stomach. Howte was her period? The auntie took a beige windbreaker and put it on her. ¡°The weather has been quite erratic recently. Madam, you have to pay attention to keeping warm.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded, her gazending on the breakfast on the table. She really did not have much of an appetite. ¡°I¡¯m not eating breakfast. Eat it yourself.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± The auntie was stunned. Before she could react, she saw her walking out. When Chen Mu saw here out, he said respectfully, ¡°Madam.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gaze swept around and finallynded on Chen Mu. ¡°If someone is monitoring me, you should be able to resolve it, right?¡± A trace of surprise appeared in Chen Mu¡¯s eyes as he nodded slowly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Madam. I¡¯ve already dealt with it.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and walked down the stairs to get into the car. Chen Mu got into the car and thought of something. He turned around and said, ¡°Madam, can I check your cell phone?¡± Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she reacted and handed the phone to him. Chen Mu opened his cell phone and quickly downloaded an app. ¡°This is an anti-bugging software developed by my friend. Don¡¯t turn it off.¡± Lin Qingqian took the cell phone and nced at the unfamiliar software. When she looked up, Chen Mu had already fastened his seatbelt and said, ¡°Madam, are you going to thepany?¡± ¡°Hospital.¡± Chen Mu started the car without any questions and drove her to the hospital. Lin Qingqian turned her head to look out of the car window. Her clear eyes seemed to be thinking about something, and her fingers unknowingly touched the ne around her neck. At the hospital. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t let Chen Mu follow her. She went to register for two appointments. One was with an ordinary outpatient clinic, and the other was the obstetrics and gynecology department. Fifteen minutester. The doctor walked in with the test results and looked at Lin Qingqian with a smile. ¡°Madam Jiang, congrattions. You¡¯re pregnant.¡± Although she had already guessed it in her heart, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart still skipped a beat when she heard the doctor say it. Her fingers moved to her lower abdomen¡­ She was pregnant. She was pregnant with Ah Yan¡¯s child! But hadn¡¯t he always taken safety measures? How could she be pregnant? Bits and pieces of images kept shing through her mind. A bold guess surged in her heart, and her fingertips silently dug into her palms. ¡°Madam Jiang, Madam Jiang¡­¡± The doctor¡¯s voice echoed in her ears. Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and met his concerned gaze. ¡°Madam Jiang, are you alright?¡± the doctor asked with concern. Lin Qingqian shook her head and said in a dry voice, ¡°No, I¡¯m fine.¡± The doctor smiled and said, ¡°Your appetite will be a little bad in the early stages of pregnancy, but try your best to eat more to maintain your nutrition. I¡¯ll prescribe you some folic acid and vitamins. Remember to eat.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Doctor, please help me keep my pregnancy a secret.¡± The doctor writing the medical record was stunned for a moment before he reacted and nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we won¡¯t reveal our patient¡¯s privacy to the public.¡± Only then did Lin Qingqian feel relieved. She reached out to take the medical record and walked out of the office. After queuing up to pay the fees and get the medicine, Lin Qingqian returned to the car. Chen Mu: ¡°Is Madam going home?¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. After hesitating for a moment, she said, ¡°Did Ah Yan tell you anything?¡± Ever since he took the initiative to deal with those people who were monitoring her and helped her install the anti-bugging software on her phone, Lin Qingqian had been thinking that he must have known something, or¡­ Someone had already expected something, so they told him in advance. Chen Mu¡¯s usually expressionless face couldn¡¯t help but reveal a hint of surprise. A momentter, he replied, ¡°Before you went to Mn, Sir paid me 50 million yuan to protect you.¡± This sum of money was something he would never be able to earn in his life, so it was equivalent to buying his entire life. Lin Qingqian held her breath and suppressed her emotions. She said calmly, ¡°What else did he say?¡± Chen Mu looked at her through the rearview mirror and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Sir said that you¡¯re my employer from now on. He asked me to listen to you about everything and not let anyone get close to you, including Sir himself.¡± Lin Qingqian bit her pink lips lightly with her teeth. After a moment of silence, she said slowly in a hoarse voice, ¡°To the mental clinic.¡± Shen Zhiwei knew that Lin Qingqian woulde looking for her again, but she didn¡¯t expect it to be so soon. ¡°Madam Jiang¡­¡¯ ¡°You should call me Miss Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hoarse voice interrupted her coldly. Now, she did not want to hear the words ¡°Madam Jiang¡± again. Every time she heard it, it was as if she had been pped. Shen Zhiwei understood her feelings at this moment. ¡°Miss Lin, why are you looking for me?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her. Although her eyes were dim, there was nock of sharpness. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, no¡­ it should be said that Jiang Yan¡¯s condition has always been controlled very steadily. Why was he suddenly cured?¡± The word ¡°eliminated¡± sounded too cruel, so she used the word ¡°cured.¡± She had checked the information. Split personalities were not so easy to treat. Shen Zhiwei couldn¡¯t hide the surprise and praise in her eyes. She had immediately calmed down after only one night. If it were any other woman, they would probably still be crying and immersed in sorrow as if it¡¯s the end of the world. No wonder Jiang Yan was so persistent about her. She looked calm on the surface, but she was actually tenacious and smart. Little Sister was really valiant! Lin Qingqian thought that she was unwilling to tell her. She frowned and said in a hoarse voice, ¡°At this point, is there anything you can¡¯t tell me?¡± Shen Zhiwei came back to her senses and pursed her lips. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood. I just didn¡¯t expect you to pull yourself together so quickly.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and did not say anything. She thought sadly in her heart, What else can I do? I¡¯ll cry until my eyes go blind at home and continue to be a fool who¡¯s yed around by them? ¡°Previously, Jiang Yanshen had always handed over the control of his body to Jiang Yan and pretended to be nine years old. In order to prevent Jiang Yanshen froming out, Jiang Yan took medicine and controlled his body for a long time. Therefore, even if Jiang Yanshen wants to take back control, it won¡¯t be so easy.¡± Shen Zhiwei sat on the sofa with her back straight. As she spoke, she secretly observed her expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, she continued. ¡°But three months ago, Jiang Yan chose to stop taking medicine and only undergo hypnosis treatment.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart skipped a beat, and her fingers curled up nervously. She secretly gulped and her voice slowly sounded. ¡°Why did he suddenly stop taking the medicine?¡± Shen Zhiwei sighed softly. ¡°He said that he wants to give you a child..¡± Chapter 359 - 359: Love Life and Stay Away From Perverts Chapter 359 - 359: Love Life and Stay Away From Perverts Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Although she had already guessed it, when she heard Shen Zhiwei say it with her own mouth, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart still ached and she secretly scolded herself for being an idiot. She recalled that he had always quickly gotten out of bed to clean up. He had even cleaned up the trash can because he was afraid that she would discover that he did not use a condom. And every time she talked about children, his tone was so firm, as if they would definitely have children! She had clearly suspected it before. Why wasn¡¯t she more careful at that time? If she had been more careful, he might not have¡­ ¡°Miss Lin, generally speaking, it¡¯s very difficult to heal a split personality, especially if the split personality knows that the main personality has the intention to destroy him!¡±
Shen Zhiwei said softly, ¡°The reason why Jiang Yan was cured in such a short period of time is not only because of Professor Morse¡¯s specialization, but also because he was willing.¡± ¡°Willing?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and looked at her. Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°Yes, he¡¯s willing.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s thick eyshes trembled slightly, and her gaze wasplicated as if she was thinking about something. After a moment of silence, she said, ¡°What else did he say?¡± Shen Zhiwei shook her head. ¡°Nothing else.¡± ¡°Sorry to disturb you.¡± Lin Qingqian stood up and walked to the door. Her fingers held the cold metal and turned to look at her before spinning. ¡°Doctor Shen¡­¡± Shen Zhiwei turned around to look at her. ¡°Yesterday, you said that he didn¡¯t understand feelings. Did he ask you to tell me that?¡± The words rolled around her mouth a few times before she finally swallowed them. Her red lips curled up slightly and she said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Zhiwei: ??? Lin Qingqian opened the door and walked out. Shen Zhiwei raised her hand and scratched the back of her ears. She asked curiously, ¡°For what?¡± When Lin Qingqian returned to the car, Chen Mu did not say anything. He only looked at her slightly pale face through the rearview mirror and waited patiently for her order. Lin Qingqian lowered the car window to take a breather. She took a few deep breaths and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Back to thepany.¡± When Suisui saw her, she stared at her panda eyes. Her face was pale like a terminally ill person. She said in surprise, ¡°Qianqian, what exactly did you experience in Mn?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at her and did not say anything. Her gazended on Han Liubai, who had juste out of the office. Perhaps because he had caught a coldst night, he coughed a little. When he looked at Lin Qingqian, his eyes were filled with worry. Suisui¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them, and she vaguely sensed something wrong. Lin Qingqian did not say anything and walked into her office. Suisui slipped in with her and closed the door. She said anxiously, ¡°Qianqian, although Xiao Bai is very good, you¡¯re already married. You can¡¯t run red lights like this!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at her. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Suisui was stunned. She followed behind her and said in surprise, ¡°Isn¡¯t that so? I don¡¯t think the two of you look right! Did you lose control in Mn¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but interrupt. ¡°You¡¯re about to be a mother. What are you thinking about all ¡°My Big Brother.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Suisui walked to the chair and sat down. She blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s going on between you and Xiao Bai?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± Suisui pouted. ¡°Am I still your good friend? You¡¯re not telling me anything now. Have you forgotten the words of Yu He Sui by the Great Ming River back then?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® She shouldn¡¯t be telling Suisui about Jiang Yanshen¡¯s split personality. In fact, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. However, Suisui was not anyone else. She¡¯s her best friend. Moreover, Gu Xici and Lu Qinshang would find out about this sooner orter. Lin Qingqian briefly exined the current situation to her. When Suisui heard this, her mouth opened into an ¡°O¡±. She was so surprised that her eyes were about to pop out. She held her heart and said, ¡°Oh my god! What kind of godly plot is this? Even Thai dramas don¡¯t dare to film like this!!¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and did not say anything. ¡°Then now¡­ this Jiang Yanshen is the real Jiang Yanshen?¡± Suisui took a few breaths and asked after calming down. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Is Doggy Jiang really gone?¡± Suisui asked again. Doggy Jiang? Lin Qingqian nced at her. ¡°Their names are too simr. It¡¯s easier to differentiate between the two.¡± Suisui squeezed out a guilty smile. ¡°Probably,¡± Lin Qingqian replied calmly. Suisui looked at her sympathetically and sighed. ¡°Qianqian, your path of love is really bumpy! You must have dug up the Jiang family¡¯s ancestral grave in your previous life. In this life, you met Jiang Yanshen and Doggy Jiang, these two bastards.¡± ¡® ..¡± Although these words sounded very awkward, they made sense. ¡°Then what will you do in the future?¡± Suisui asked worriedly. Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I haven¡¯t thought about it yet.¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Suisui hesitated for a moment, licked her lips, and asked, ¡°I want to know if you¡¯re sure that the person you like is Doggy Jiang, or Jiang Yanshen whom you fell in love with at first sight.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stagnated, and her chest felt stuffy as she did not speak. Suisui supported her chin and said, ¡°If you like Doggy Jiang, what are you going to do about Jiang Yanshen now?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes trembled slightly, and ayer of haze covered her eyes. She bit her lips tightly and did not say anything. Suisui knew that she must be very confused now, so she did not ask further, but she did not understand. ¡°Jiang Yanshen knows that he has personality dissociation. Why didn¡¯t hee out previously and even pretended to be nine years old? Why is he out now?¡± She pouted and said in a disdainful voice, ¡°Why do I feel that he wants to gain something without working hard?¡± Lin Qingqian did not answer, but she had the same doubts in her heart. For so many years, he had never thought of taking back control of his body. Why did he return after Jiang Chongjing died, Li Ruzhu was sent to a mental hospital, and Li Gun was imprisoned? Could all of this be a coincidence? ¡°I¡¯m not sure about this for the time being, but¡ª¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. She paused and instructed her seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t tell Lu Qinshang about this for the time being, lest you cause trouble for him. It¡¯s enough that you know it in your heart.¡± She had a feeling that Jiang Xiao Jiu was not a good person. She was afraid that Suisui would treat him as Ah Yan. If she angered Jiang Xiao Jiu, she would be in trouble. Suisui nodded. ¡°I know. Love life and stay away from perverts!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® There was nothing wrong with that. At the Jiang residence. Jiang Yanshen entered the house and did not see Lin Qingqian. He frowned and asked coldly, ¡°Where¡¯s Madam?¡± The servant replied, ¡°Madam went outst night and didn¡¯te back.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°Fang Wu.¡± Fang Wu, who was at the door, immediately came in when he heard the voice. ¡°Sir.¡± ¡°Where is she?¡± Fang Wu quickly realized who he was referring to and said calmly, ¡°Madam¡¯s guard dealt with the people I sent, but they still found out that Madam went to the hospital andter went to meet Shen Zhiwei. After that, she returned to thepany. Now¡­ she should be in Begonia Courtyard.¡± Begonia Courtyard. Jiang Yanshen couldn¡¯t help but frown. He didn¡¯t like that ce. Begonia Courtyard was filled with Jiang Yan¡¯s aura. It was filled with her and Jiang Yan¡¯s memories! At the thought of their lives in Begonia Courtyard, an unknown anger and frustration surged in his heart. This idiot was just a personality that he had split off. Did he really think that he could rece him? He walked to the sofa and sat down. His voice sounded dark. ¡°Go and invite Madam back.¡± When Fang Wu arrived at Begonia Courtyard, Lin Qingqian was having dinner. Although she did not have much of an appetite, she was already pregnant. She had to eat more for the sake of the child. ¡°Madam, Sir is waiting for you at home.¡± Fang Wu stood in front of the dining table. Although his expression was cold, his tone was still polite. Lin Qingqian¡¯s chopsticks paused for a moment, and she said calmly, ¡°This is my home, and¡­ please don¡¯t call me Madam.¡± The person she married was Ah Yan, not Jiang Xiao Jiu. ¡°Madam, Sir is waiting for you. Pleasee back with me.¡± Fang Wu repeated expressionlessly, as if he did not hear her. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and ate her food, as if she did not hear anything. Fang Wu waited for a moment. Seeing that she didn¡¯t react, he could only say, ¡°Madam, I¡¯m sorry.¡± With that, he walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side and used force¡­ However, before his hand could touch Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm, he heard her deep and cold voice. ¡°Chen Mu¡­¡± A ck shadow suddenly shed and kicked Fang Wu¡¯s abdomen. Fang Wu was caught off guard and it was toote to dodge. He took a few steps back and barely stabilized himself. His eagle eyes looked at Chen Mu as if his fighting spirit had been aroused. Chen Mu stood in front of Lin Qingqian. When he faced Fang Wu, his aura was released, and his hands were clenched into fists in a defensive style. Lin Qingqian said slowly as she ate, ¡°Get lost, or I¡¯ll report you for trespassing.¡± Fang Wu did not expect her to be so uncooperative. After hesitating for a few seconds, he turned around and walked out. However, he did not return to the Jiang residence. Instead, he called Jiang Yanshen. He had toplete his master¡¯s instructions. If he couldn¡¯t, he can¡¯t go back. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care if he left or not. She just wanted to finish her dinner quietly. The auntie sensed that the atmosphere was not right. She came out to clean the things and did not dare to say a word. She silently returned to the kitchen. ¡°If hees, let him in,¡± Lin Qingqian said lightly before going upstairs. Chen Mu looked at her slender figure with a solemn expression. ¡°Madam¡­¡± Sir had said that he couldn¡¯t be left alone with Madam. Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, nothing will happen.¡± If Jiang Xiao Jiu didn¡¯t want toe, she would rest well for the night. If he came, she could rify some things and save herself the trouble of making another trip to look for him. Jiang Yanshen clearly did not expect her to note back. When he received Fang Wu¡¯s call, his expression was so dark that ink could drip from it. He stood up and was about to leave when he stopped after taking a few steps. It was just a woman. Did she really think that she¡¯s impressive now that Jiang Yan married her so she¡¯s putting on airs as Madam Jiang? His thin lips curled up slightly as he sneered coldly and called Fang Wu back. Lin Qingqian took a shower andy on the bed for a while. Seeing that no one came, she yawned and fell asleep with tears in her eyes. She was in a daze when her phone suddenly rang¡­ May there be a tree in this mountain that is of interest to you. Last night, the stars were just like you.. Your body was unparalleled, but there was a spiritual rhinoceros in your heart¡­ Chapter 360 - 360: In the End, He Was the Only Person I Wanted to Spend the Rest of My Life With Chapter 360 - 360: In the End, He Was the Only Person I Wanted to Spend the Rest of My Life With Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian picked up the phone and ced it by her ear. Without opening her eyes, herzy voice sounded. ¡°Hello, Ah Yan¡­¡± ¡°Sister-inw¡­ Help¡­¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s cry for help came from the other end of the phone. Lin Qingqian¡¯s chaotic mind immediately cleared up. She picked up her phone and looked at the caller ID: Ah Yan. It was Ah Yan¡¯s number, but Ah Yan was no longer around. It should be Jiang Xiao Jiu who took Ah Yan¡¯s phone now. Why was Lu Qinshang¡¯s voice on the phone? Lin Qingqian sat up and pressed her cell phone to her ear. ¡°Lu Qinshang?¡±
Lu Qinshang wailed, ¡°Sister-inw, 1942. It¡¯s an emergency. Come quickly.¡± Before Lin Qingqian could ask further, the call ended. Lin Qingqian stared at the words ¡°Ah Yan¡± on her cell phone for a long time. In the end, she changed the caller ID to Jiang Xiao Jiu and changed the ringtone of her cell phone to the ringtone of the cell phone system. The exclusive ringtone only belonged to Ah Yan. No one else, even Jiang Xiao Jiu, who looked exactly like Ah Yan, could rece him. Lin Qingqian called Chen Mu and asked him to prepare the car and get out of bed to change. 1942, private room. On the coffee table and sofa, there were wine bottles everywhere. The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. Lin Qingqian pushed open the door of the private room. The light was dim, and she didn¡¯t notice her feet. She kicked something and almost tripped. She held onto the door beside her and steadied herself. She frowned and looked up to see Jiang Yanshen leaning against the sofa. Three buttons of his ck shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his exquisite and sexy corbone. His ck eyes were blurry and demonic at this moment. Gu Xici sat at the side with his arms crossed in front of him, his face ashen. Lu Qinshang, on the other hand, sat on the ground miserably. His clothes were so wrinkled that it looked like he had been ruthlessly ravaged. Before Lin Qingqian could ask what was going on, Lu Qinshang rushed over and hugged her arm, shouting, ¡°Sister-in w, quickly control Ah Yan. I¡¯m about to be beaten to death by him!¡± In the end, he added, ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s wrong with him tonight. Didn¡¯t I just touch him?¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. Her cold eyes looked at the man with a cold smile on his lips on the sofa. There was no longer the familiar aura from before. It was clearly the same person, but because of the different personalities, it seemed like his entire appearance had changed. At the very least, Ah Yan would not reveal such a sinister and terrifying gaze. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s gazended on Lu Qinshang¡¯s hand. His voice was almost squeezed out of his throat. ¡°If you don¡¯t let go, don¡¯t even think about keeping this hand.¡± Although he was drunk, his words were not joking at all. Lu Qinshang was so frightened that he immediately let go. Lin Qingqian still did not speak. Jiang Yanshen snorted. ¡°Didn¡¯t you not want to see me? Why did youe over?¡± ¡°You drank too much. Go back.¡± Her lightly pursed lips finally opened, her voice gentle but with not much concern. He sneered. ¡°Who are you talking to me as now? Madam Jiang, or¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Lin Qingqian said coldly, ¡°Fang Wu, send him back.¡± She turned to look at Fang Wu, who was standing at the door, her eyes cold. Fang Wu hesitated for a moment before walking into the private room and bending down to help the drunk man up. He said respectfully, ¡°Sir, I¡¯ll send you back.¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned against him and didn¡¯t struggle. His blurry and demonic eyes kept looking at Lin Qingqian. When he walked to Lin Qingqian¡¯s side, he stopped in his tracks. He turned his head to her ear and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear¡ª ¡°Lin Qingqian, he can¡¯te back¡­ He¡¯s dead, and you¡¯ll never see him again.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes suddenly trembled, and the little color on her face instantly faded. Her fingers curled into a fist to prevent her from pping his face. With that, heughed loudly and was helped out of the private room by Fang wu. The atmosphere in the private room fell into an awkvvard and tense state. Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici looked at each other. No matter how stupid they were, they could sense that something was wrong between her and Jiang Yanshen. ¡°Sister-inw, did you quarrel with Ah Yan?¡± Lu Qinshang asked carefully. Lin Qingqian did not answer. She looked at Gu Xici, hesitating if she should tell them the truth. Gu Xici was sharper than Lu Qinshang and asked directly, ¡°If anything happened, just say it. We¡¯re not outsiders.¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and said in a slightly bitter voice, ¡°He¡¯s no longer Ah Yan.¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°Huh?¡± Gu Xici instantly understood. ¡°Third personality?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°Do you still remember Jiang Xiao Jiu?¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°He¡¯s Jiang Xiao Jiu, and the real Jiang Yanshen. Ah Yan¡­¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, her voice as soft as willow catkins. ¡°He¡¯s the split personality.¡± Even Gu Xici, who had seen many strange cases, stopped breathing immediately, his eyes filled with surprise. A few secondster, he figured it out. No wonder¡­ he had always felt that Ah Yan was hiding something. Now, everything made sense. ¡°Wait¡­¡± Lu Qinshang, who was still in a daze, looked at the two of them. ¡°What are you talking about? What? Can someone exin to me first?¡± What split personality? What did she mean by Ah Yan was the split personality? Gu Xici nced at Lin Qingqian. Seeing her nod slowly, he exined the matter concisely. ¡°F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang cursed three times in a row. He turned on his cell phone and looked at it. ¡°It¡¯s not April Fool¡¯s Day today. Are you sure you¡¯re not joking with me?¡± Lin Qingqian and Gu Xici did not say anything and looked at him quietly. Gu Xici: He scratched his head in despair. Ah Yan was not Jiang Yanshen, but the real Jiang Yanshen¡¯s split personality. In other words, he treated a split personality as a good brother. F*ck!! Why did such a movie plot appear beside him? He felt like he had suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points! Although Gu Xici was also shocked, he was much calmer than Lu Qinshang. He looked at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Are you alright?¡± The person who suffered the biggest blow in this matter was still Lin Qingqian. Lu Qinshang also looked at her. ¡°Do you love Jiang Yanshen or Ah Yan?¡± Gu Xici couldn¡¯t help but re at him. Why don¡¯t you rub your nose deeper in it. Lin Qingqian was still fine. She didn¡¯t break down as they expected. After all, breaking down wouldn¡¯t solve any problems. ¡°There are some things I haven¡¯t figured out yet. Let me figure them out first.¡± Gu Xici nodded. ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°And me!¡± Lu Qinshang echoed, not to be outdone. ¡°Although Ah Yan is a split personality, but¡­ we¡¯ve been brothers for so many years. We¡¯ll take care of our brother¡¯s wife.¡± After a pause, he scratched his head in distress. ¡°Are you considered a widow? But Jiang Yanshen isn¡¯t dead¡­¡¯ Gu Xici: ¡® It was a miracle that this fellow wasn¡¯t beaten to death. Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± She really wanted to sew his mouth shut. ¡°You guys be careful in the future.¡± Lin Qingqian instructed in a gentle voice, ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu is different from Ah Yan. He¡­ makes me feel very uneasy. ¡± She was still addressing him as Jiang Xiao Jiu because she stubbornly thought that Jiang Yanshen was only one person, and that was Ah Yan. And Jiang Xiao Jiu was a ticking time bomb. No one knew what he wanted to do or what he would do. Gu Xici: ¡°We will. You have to be careful too.¡± Compared to them, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Xiao Jiu were legally married, so they were more involved. Lin Qingqian nodded and stood up. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first.¡± Gu Xici wanted to stand up to send him off, but Lin Qingqian rejected him. ¡°There¡¯s no need to send me off. Chen Mu is at the door.¡± Just as he left the sofa, he sat back down and watched her leave the private room. Lu Qinshang looked at him. ¡°Eh? Do you think¡­ Ah Yan is really gone?¡± Gu Xici narrowed his eyes and said coldly, ¡°Otherwise?¡± ¡°F*ck!¡± Lu Qinshang cursed. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and gulped down most of it. He panted and said, ¡°I still like the old Ah Yan. Now¡­ I don¡¯t like this.¡± No wonder he felt that there was something wrong with Ah Yan tonight. Usually, Ah Yan knew his limits when he fought with them. Tonight, Ah Yan did not show any mercy. If not for Gu Xici, he would probably be in the hospital now. ¡°Damn it! I¡¯m so sad. How could Ah Yan be a split personality?¡± Lu Qinshang cursed as he drank. He could not figure it out. Gu Xici lit a cigarette and blew out smoke as he said indifferently, ¡°Are you as sad as Lin Qingqian?¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned and sighed heavily. His eyes were filled with sympathy and helplessness. Lin Qingqian did not expect Fang Wu to send Jiang Xiao Jiu to Begonia Courtyard instead of the Jiang Residence. At this moment, Jiang Yanshen was lying on the bed that belonged to her and Ah Yan, his eyes narrowed as if he had fallen asleep. Lin Qingqian smelled the strong smell of alcohol from his body and frowned slightly, turning to leave. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s cold voice came from behind. ¡°He did it with you on this bed?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s figure clearly stiffened. She turned around and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s blurry eyes that were flowing with mockery. He got up and walked unsteadily to her. He lowered his head and his eyes gradually became sharp. ¡°I¡¯ve also slept with you on this bed. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, you¡¯re drunk.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips tightly and her voice was extremely cold. Not wanting to argue with an alcoholic, she turned around and left. Jiang Yanshen grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto the bed domineeringly and quickly. He said in a dark voice, ¡°Lin Qingqian, how many times do I have to say it before you can recognize the reality? I¡¯m the real Jiang Yanshen!!!¡± A few wisps of red blood vessels appeared in his blurry eyes, and his expression was terrifyingly ruthless. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart tightened. She took a few deep breaths and said indifferently, ¡°So what?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes tightened, and his thin lips pursed into a straight line without emotion. ¡°It¡¯s undeniable that the person who moved my heart was you, but the figure I¡¯ve been chasing for thest seven years was Ah Yan.¡± Lin Qingqian was not afraid of his ruthlessness. Her voice was cold as she spoke unhurriedly. ¡°He¡¯s the one I¡¯ve been with for seven years, he¡¯s the one I married, and he¡¯s the one I divorced. I scolded him as a Dog of a man and thought of stabbing him to death. In the end, he was the only person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with..¡± Chapter 361 - 361: Untitled Chapter 361: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen was stunned, followed by the anger surging in his chest. His grip on Lin Qingqian¡¯s chin tightened, as if he wanted to crush her bones¡­ ¡°Lin Qingqian, he¡¯s just a split personality of mine. You¡¯re really stupid to really treat him as a person.¡± Every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat. ¡°I¡¯m the one who¡¯s married to you now. Whether you admit it or not, I¡¯m your husband now¡­¡± He lowered his head and wanted to exercise his rights as a husband. Lin Qingqian turned her head with great effort to avoid his lips. His warm breath sprayed on her face, and the pungent smell of alcohol made her feel nauseous. Suppressing her disgust, her cold voice slowly sounded. ¡°Rape in marriage is also against thew. If you want to fall out with me and go to court, I¡¯ll apany you ! ¡± Back then, when she divorced Ah Yan, she had nothing and couldn¡¯t even fight awsuit. It was different now. She had a career and connections. If it really came to court, she might not lose. Jiang Yanshen paused in his actions of lowering his head and stared at her fair skin with a sinister gaze. His jawline was very tense as he sneered. ¡°What is this? Keeping your chastity for him?¡± The fingers that were holding her chin loosened and he couldn¡¯t help but pat her cheek twice. His voice seemed to contain a hint of humiliation. ¡°Lin Qingqian, get this straight. The one you¡¯ve been having fun with is me!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s strength was no match for his, so she gave up struggling and resisting. Most importantly, she did not want to hurt the child. She turned her head slightly to look at him and curled her red lips. ¡°If I only care about who can bring me physical pleasure, there¡¯s naturally no difference between you and Ah Yan. But I¡¯ve never been a person who can separate the body and soul. It¡¯s not your body I care about. It¡¯s the soul contained in your body.¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and felt as if his chest had been hammered by something. It was a little painful and stuffy. Something seemed to sh across his ck eyes as he got off her body. He turned his head and nced at her from the corner of his eye. His tone was still arrogant. ¡°I hate the so-called concept of soul the most. It¡¯s pretentious and hypocritical. With him getting up, Lin Qingqian¡¯s body felt much lighter. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and got up to sit up. ¡°Are you sober?¡± She looked at him with cold eyes. There was no tenderness like when she looked at Ah Yan, nor was there any gentleness like when she looked at Jiang Xiao Jiu. She was cold and indifferent, even worse than a stranger. ¡°I wasn¡¯t drunk in the first ce.¡± The corners of his mouth twitched in disdain. He was just using the alcohol to teach Lu Qinshang a lesson. ¡°If I don¡¯t do this, how can I let you make things clear?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you continue pretending to be Ah Yan?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± He sneered and said disdainfully, ¡°He¡¯s just a split personality of mine. Asking me to pretend to be my split personality. Are you sane?¡± Lin Qingqian remained silent. ¡°I¡¯m not interested or in the mood to act like a brother to them. It¡¯s best if they don¡¯t disturb me from now on,¡± he said coldly, his dark eyes filled with disdain and arrogance. Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, can I ask you a few questions?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her and did not say anything. ¡°Why did you give the control of your body to Ah Yan and pretend that you¡¯re only nine years old?¡± Lin Qingqian stared at him with her bright eyes and asked curiously. ¡°You really want to know?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and stared at her. Without waiting for Lin Qingqian to answer, he said, ¡°But why should I tell you? What¡¯s in it for me to tell you?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no benefit,¡± Lin Qingqian replied, her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°But there¡¯s no harm in it. You haven¡¯t had any friends or lovers for so many years. Other than Fang Wu, there shouldn¡¯t be anyone around you who can listen to you. Who else can you talk to other than me?¡± Jiang Yanshen sneered. ¡°You don¡¯t seem to be as stupid as I think.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. She looked at his exquisite facial features and carefully pondered over his personality. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s fine to tell you.¡± His thin lips curled into a smile, and he said slowly, ¡°Because it¡¯s disgusting.¡± ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian did not understand his words. ¡®What¡¯s disgusting?¡± Jiang Yanshen nced at her, as if to say, I just said that you¡¯re not stupid and made a mistake again. ¡°Jiang Chongjing, Li Ruzhu, and even the Old Madam are very disgusting.¡± When Jiang Yanshen mentioned these people, his eyes were filled with strong disgust. ¡°But I have no way to change or deal with them.¡± Deal with them? A bold and terrifying thought appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s mind. Before she could say it, his sinister voice sounded in her ears¡­ ¡°Therefore, wouldn¡¯t it be good if someone could face all of this for me or even resolve it?¡± Lin Qingqian suddenly recalled the dream she had previously. Her heart trembled and she looked a little surprised. ¡°Ah Yan¡­ was a personality that you deliberately developed?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and smiled evilly, admitting without hesitation, ¡°Of course.¡± These two simple words made Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart skip a beat. Malice filled her body, and countlessplicated thoughts surged in her mind. She was like a ball of messy yarn that could not be untangled. ¡°However, he¡¯s too useless. I¡¯ve given him so much time, but he can¡¯t even do this little thing well. He¡¯s simply trash.¡± He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with disdain. Lin Qingqian was about to choke from holding her breath. His exquisite and cold facial features were reflected in her ck and white eyes under her curled eyshes. She secretly gulped and tried her best to say in a calm tone, ¡°Shen Zhiwei said that most personality dissociations are antisocial. You deliberately let yourself develop a personality dissociation and gave the control of your body to Ah Yan. This way, even if he does anything, as long as youe out and prove that it¡¯s a split personality and a mental illness, the punishment can be reduced or even exempted. ¡± Jiang Yan¡¯s deep eyes shed with excitement as he looked at her. His lips curled into a smile as he remained silent. Lin Qingqian continued, ¡°But you didn¡¯t expect Ah Yan to not be antisocial. He has an emotional disorder, so you got impatient and chose to do it yourself¡­ First, it was Jiang Chongjing, then Li Ruzhu, and finally Li Gun¡­¡± These were all her guesses and there was no evidence. But seeing his calm expression, Lin Qingqian knew that her guess was probably true. He was the one who caused all of this. It was all his scheme. ¡°Everyone knows that Jiang Chongjing was stabbed to death by Wu Suyun. It has nothing to do with me!¡± His lips curved and his eyes narrowed as he smiled, but it made Lin Qingqian¡¯s hair stand on ends. ¡°As for Li Ruzhu and Li Gun, their oue is even more unrted to me.¡± Lin Qingqian took out her phone from her pocket and threw it on the bed. She stared straight at him. ¡°There¡¯s no recording. There¡¯s only the two of us here. Even if you admit it, I don¡¯t have any evidence to sue you.¡± She paused and took a deep breath. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, tell me, did you do all this?¡± He looked down at the ck screen on the bed and then at the tense-looking Lin Qingqian. He said indifferently, ¡°Is it very important?¡± A trace of disappointment shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. He was very vignt and wouldn¡¯t admit it even if there wasn¡¯t a recording. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to admit any of this, but can you tell me if you¡¯re rted to me falling in the bathroom, almost being hit by a motorcycle, and even falling into the sea and almost dying?!¡± Jiang Yanshen did not deny this. His thin lips curled up slightly as he said in an apologetic tone, ¡°If you want to me someone, you can only me him for being too greedy. He actually wanted topete with me. Since I can create him, I can naturally kill him too!¡± His cold voice was as cold as if it came from hell, and he was Satan from hell who had descended to the world with evil. Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart seemed to be pierced by something. Her eyes burned as if something was drilling in them. She bit her lips lightly. ¡°So¡­ you used me to threaten him so that he would be willing to be¡­¡± The words ¡°be killed¡± were too cruel. She couldn¡¯t bring herself to say it. Jiang Yanshen caught the redness in her eyes, and his chest felt inexplicably heavy. Impatience surged on his handsome face. ¡°So what if I did! Since he¡¯s no longer of any value, it¡¯s only right and proper for him to disappear.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart ached as if thousands of arrows had pierced through it, and this Jiang Yanshen in front of her made her feel a chill run down her spine. What kind of person could be so vicious and cold-hearted to think of such a sinister method tomit evil! Jiang Yanshen looked at her thin body that seemed to be trembling. Not only was he not ashamed at all, but he even raised his lips and smiled. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± His pleased expression was as if he was admiring a painting. Lin Qingqian secretly took a few deep breaths and tried her best to suppress the chil in her bonesl. She gritted her teeth and asked thest question. ¡°Grandma has always doted on you. Why did you say that she¡¯s disgusting?¡± At the mention of Grandma, there was no warmth in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. He sneered. ¡°She¡¯s only worried about the Jiang Family¡¯s business. If she really dotes on me, she wouldn¡¯t have protected Jiang Chongjing even though she knew that he killed my father!¡± ¡°So¡­ Grandma also knows about Ah Yan!¡± She suddenly remembered what Grandma had said to her when she wanted to get a divorce. ¡ªQianqian, if Yanshen faces any difficulties in the future, can you help him on ount 01 oranurnas ¡ªI just don¡¯t want to see that one day¡­ when he¡¯s in trouble, there¡¯s no one around to sincerely care about him orfort him. Now that she thought of these words, was the ¡°Yanshen¡± that Grandma mentioned really Ah Yan or¡ªJiang Xiao Jiu? Jiang Yanshen stood up and looked down at her meaningfully, his thin lips curling into a cold and charming smile. ¡°I¡¯ve answered enough questions tonight. Since you don¡¯t want to sleep with me, don¡¯t waste my time.¡± With that, he turned around and left the bedroom. Lin Qingqian was stunned for a long time. Her stiff fingers reached for her cell phone and dialed a number¡­ The beeping tone on the other end of the line rang for a long time, but no one picked up. When the call was automatically disconnected, she refused to give up and called again¡­ Her hand that was holding the phone was trembling. This time, she didn¡¯t have to wait long before the call was answered. A familiar voice sounded in her ear. ¡°Qianqian? Why are you calling Grandma sote?¡± ¡°Grandma¡­¡± Lin Qingqian choked the moment she opened her mouth.. Chapter 362 - 362: I’m Pregnant Chapter 362: I¡¯m Pregnant Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Qianqian¡­¡± The olddy seemed to not know what to say. After opening her mouth, she sighed clearly. Lin Qingqian suppressed her chaotic mind and pursed her lips. Her hoarse voice slowly sounded. ¡°You knew long ago?¡± There was another sigh on the other end of the phone. ¡°How can I not know what my grandson is like?¡± Jiang Yanshen had been smart since he was young, but he couldn¡¯t think straight. How could she not see the changes in him after living together for so many years? ¡°Then you also agree with him doing this?¡± Lin Qingqian spoke again. As soon as she finished speaking, she held her breath. The olddy was silent for a moment before saying earnestly, ¡°Qianqian, both Yanshen and Ah Yan are my grandsons. The back and front of a palm are both covered with the same flesh. If you were me, how would you choose?¡± Ah Yan was a smart child. He looked cold but was actually kind. If he was really her grandson, she would naturally be happy. Unfortunately¡­ he was a split personality. It was destined not tost long. The few simple words had already expressed her attitude. Between Jiang Xiao Jiu and Ah Yan, she chose the former. Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was holding the phone suddenly dropped down, and her heart ached. The mist in her eyes could no longer be held back and condensed into tears that fell. Her fingers that were holding the cell phone turned white. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but raise her arm and smash the cell phone to the ground. She finally understood why he said, ¡°Other than you, no one else in this world has ever loved me.¡± She finally understood why he said, ¡°My existence is meaningful only if I have you to love me.¡± There was no one else. Other than her, no one would love him. There was no one else. Other than her, everyone had chosen to abandon him. She curled up into a ball, tears rolling down her cheeks as she sobbed silently. Gained and lost, lost and regained, he kept all the best for her to protect her safety¡­ But what was the point of all this without him? Ah Yan, without you¡­ What is the point of all this? With Han Liubai watching over thepany¡¯s matters, Lin Qingqian did not have to worry too much. It was just that it was close to the finals of the S.T. Costume Design Competition and her design drafts had yet to be drawn. Han Liubai and Suisui came to the house to see her. When they saw that she seemed to have lost weight, their eyes revealed worry. Lin Qingqian did not want them to worry, so she acted indifferent and asked the auntie to prepare their favorite food before asking them about thepany. After dinner, Suisui called Lu Qinshang and unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa. Lin Qingqian took a thin nket and covered her body, inviting Han Liubai to sit in the courtyard. The weather has been good recently. The wind was gentle and the sun was shining. The green nts in the flower beds were growing well, but it was still impossible to tell what they were. Lin Qingqian used the watering can to water the nts while Han Liubai stood beside her. His calm voice couldn¡¯t hide his worry. ¡°Qingqian, he¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m pregnant.¡± Just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lin Qingqian. The two words were no less than thunder to Han Liubai¡¯s ears. His clear eyes were filled with shock as he looked at her. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what Ah Yan told you, I Imow that he loved me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°He spent so much effort to keep this child for me. I¡¯ll definitely give birth to it safely and raise it well.¡± Han Liubai quickly regained hisposure from his shock. His throat moved and he squeezed out four words after a long time. ¡®What about Jiang Yanshen?¡± ¡°This is my and Ah Yan¡¯s child. It has nothing to do with him,¡± Lin Qingqian replied indifferently. Even if this child was rted to Jiang Xiao Jiu by blood, it was not Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s child in her heart. This was Ah Yan¡¯s child, a gift that he had tried his best to give her. How could Han Liubai not understand the meaning behind her words? His face gradually turned pale. ¡°Are you ming me? Actually, Ming Xiao has long¡­¡± ¡°Xiao Bai.¡± Lin Qingqian seemed to know what he wanted to say and interrupted him directly. She shook her head gently. ¡°I know you¡¯ve never thought of hurting me. Simrly¡­ I cannot fit anyone else into my heart other than Ah Yan.¡± Han Liubai clenched his fists tightly by his side, a trace of unwillingness shing across his clear eyes. ¡°If I met you earlier than him, would it be different now?¡± Lin Qingqian chuckled and shook her head. Her voice was calm as she said, ¡°There¡¯s never been such a thing as a step earlier orter in this world. Our encounter was actually destined long ago. Just like me and Ah Yan. The first person I saw and fell in love with was clearly not him, but the person I ultimately loved was him.¡± Han Liubai watched as the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, but he felt extremely sad. Her rejection was so clean that it told him that she was unwilling to leave any thoughts for him. Lin Qingqian put down the watering can. ¡°Let¡¯s go in. The sun is very scorching. ¡± Han Liubai followed beside her and carefully put away his sadness. He said as usual, ¡°How¡¯s your preparation for thepetition?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll start preparing in the next two days. I should be able to make it in time,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Although she was sad, her life had to continue¡­ Now, not only did she have to take responsibility for herself and the child in her stomach, but she also had to be responsible for her colleagues in thepany and not let down thoseizens who believed and supported her. Suisui slept until the evening. She only woke up when Lu Qinshang came to pick her up. Lin Qingqian wanted to keep them for dinner, but Lu Qinshang rejected her politely. He had speciallye to bring Suisui to his future inws¡¯ house for dinner. Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t ask them to stay anymore and sent them to the door. Lu Qinshang hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and saying, ¡°At this point, let bygones be bygones. One has to look forward¡­¡± Althoughforting words were not very useful to her now, she was more or less relieved to hear them from Lu Qinshang. ¡°I understand. Be careful on the way. Take good care of Suisui.¡± Lu Qinshang nodded. As he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, he looked at her and sighed silently in his heart. He used to think that she was not worthy of Ah Yan. He always felt that Ah Yan had suffered a huge loss marrying her. Who would have thought that it was Jiang Yanshen who was not worthy of her now¡­ Marrying Jiang Yanshen was a downgrade for her! Han Liubai returned to thepany in the afternoon. Now that Suisui and the others had left, only she and the auntie were left in Begonia Courtyard. The huge vi looked deserted everywhere. Lin Qingqian went upstairs to her study and began to prepare the designs. For three to four days in a row, other than eating and sleeping, she spent her time in the study drawing designs. In order not to let anyone disturb her, her cell phone was turned off. After modifying the design n, she went to thepany and chose the cloth. It took her another week to finallyplete the two designs for thepetition. She brought Su Ying and Han Liubai to Mn to participate in the final two matches. The final round of thepetition was a global live-stream that attracted a lot of attention. Almost every participating designers¡¯ country sent media reporters and partners to cheer them on. Li Wenwen and Luo Tianxue were both busy and could note over. On the other hand, Ren Guangxi was going to record a music video and happened to be in Mn, so he came over to cheer her on. To express her gratitude, Lin Qingqian treated him to a meal before thepetition. During the meal, Ren Guangxi couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Sister Qingqian, you didn¡¯t invite any models this time?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°If there are no models, how can you present your works on the runway?¡± Ren Guangxi said worriedly. ¡°It¡¯ll be very difficult to move the judges.¡± No matter how beautiful the clothes were, they had to be worn to present a visual impact. If there were no models, they would be like clothes on the mannequins in the retail stores¡¯ windows. No matter how beautiful the clothes were, they would lose some of their liveliness. ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Did your MV go smoothly?¡± Ren Guangxi nodded. ¡°It went smoothly. The album will be released in the first half of the year. Brother Lu said that he will hold a concert for me in the second half of the year.¡± Lin Qingqian was happy for him. ¡°Congrattions, you¡¯ve finally done it.¡± ¡°I have to thank you for this. If you weren¡¯t willing to give me a chance back tnen, I wouldn¡¯t even Know wnere I am now, let alone nold a concert.¡± It was very difficult for Ren Guangxi to say another word in front of others, but in front of Lin Qingqian, he seemed to have endless things to say. Because his heart was filled with gratitude for her. It was she who had changed his life¡­ He could have the light and apuse he had now, thanks to her. Lin Qingqian chuckled. ¡°Are you nning to thank me every time you see me in the future?¡± Ren Guangxi¡¯s cold eyes were filled with embarrassment. His lips curled into a faint smile, as simple and pure as a boy next door. Lin Qingqian looked at his smile and couldn¡¯t help but think about how good it would be if Ah Yan was also an ordinary boy next door. At the hotel. Su Ying had just posted the preview of tomorrow¡¯spetition on her official Weibo ount and was about to switch back to her alternate ount when the doorbell suddenly rang¡­ She put down her phone and walked to the door. As she opened the door, she asked, ¡°Who is it?¡± Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Ming Xiao standing at the door in a purple dress. She was stunned and secretly gulped. She subconsciously wanted to close the door. Ming Xiao reacted quickly and held the door with one hand. Her exquisite facial features were filled with a malicious smile. ¡°Miss Su, let¡¯s talk when we¡¯re free.¡± ¡°I have nothing to talk to you about.¡± Su Ying lowered her head, not daring to look into her eyes. She wanted to close the door forcefully. Ming Xiao¡¯s eyes turned cold as her high heels kicked Su Ying¡¯s knee. Su Ying bent down in pain and rubbed her knee. Ming Xiao took the opportunity to walk in. ¡°I don¡¯t like to be rejected, so you¡¯d better not provoke me,¡± she said as she walked to the sofa and sat down. Su Ying looked up at her, her almond-shaped eyes filled with embarrassment and helplessness. ¡°You, what exactly do you want?¡± ¡°I have a small favor that I hope you can help me with.¡± Ming Xiao tilted his head and revealed a smile that she thought was harmless. Su Ying was timid, but she was not stupid. After working by Lin Qingqian¡¯s side for so long, she was naturally smarter than before. ¡°You want to harm Sister Qingqian? I won¡¯t help you¡­¡± Ming Xiao was not surprised at all that she would say that. She took out her phone from her bag and opened a video for her to see. Su Ying¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Mother¡­¡¯ She went forward to snatch the cell phone away, but Ming Xiao immediately put it away and said with a smile, ¡°Do you want to help me now?¡± Su Ying was so anxious that her eyes turned red. ¡°Don¡¯t hurt my mother. What exactly do you want me to do?¡± Ming Xiao revealed a satisfied smile and said unhurriedly, ¡°What I want you to do is very simple.. Tomorrow¡­¡± Chapter 364 - 364: Untitled Chapter 364 - 364: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Her golden curly hair scattered casually on her fair shoulders. Her light purple dress had a whitece flower pattern on the chest. There was a pure golden belt at her waist with eight pearls embedded in it. The light purple dress was gradually embroidered with dazzling stars with golden threads. They sparkled under the light, revealing her golden high heels. There were even a few golden tassels hanging down from the dress¡­ It had a ssical European style and a hint of ancient charm. Lin Qingqian was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. She slowly descended from the sky with a dazzling light. Her toes were on the ground, and her open hands slowly dropped down, untying the wires behind her. The audience at the event location was stunned, and the judges couldn¡¯t help but reveal surprised gazes. Her appearance was too special, and her clothes were really too beautiful. Below the stage, Han Liubai¡¯s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with worry and slight anger. ¡ªHow could she dare? Lisa¡¯s golden eyes revealed a trace of disdain as she said coldly, ¡°Pandering to the gallery.¡± The mic on her clothes was still on. Not only did the judges hear this, but the audience at the event location also heard it. The audience came back to their senses. Lin Qingqian met her dissatisfied gaze and smiled. ¡°Is there a rule in thepetition that the participating designers can¡¯t appear in their own way? As soon as these words were spoken, the audience at the event location all took out their publicity sheets to look at the introduction of the rules of thepetition. Indeed, there was no such rule in the rules. Lisa ignored what she said and said in a cold voice, ¡°Evasion.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and did not exin further. She walked to the back of the team and stood still. The emcee immediately came out to smooth things over and pull the cold atmosphere back to normal. The works of the previous designers had all received praise or suggestions from the judges. When it came to Lin Qingqian, several judges praised her. Only the judge and Lisa, who had always been targeting Lin Qingqian, expressed their displeasure towards her and said that she did not respect the rules of thepetition. Lisa directly criticized her work for being incongruous. The European style and the Chinese style couldn¡¯t be fused together at all. Herbining the two was an insult to the two styles. The audience at the event location who originally liked this design were easily led astray after hearing Lisa¡¯s words. After all, Lisa had a very high status in the fashion industry overseas. Her words were definitely right. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t refute her words and quietly listened to the judges¡¯ votes and the final results of thepetition. Although her work was controversial, she still entered the finals with a good result of second ce. The first ce was Xu Zhao. His design this time was based on the theme of the phoenix and rebirth. The third ce was a Japanese contestant with cherry blossoms as the theme. Three people entered the finals, and the remaining seven were all eliminated. The designs that they had prepared in advance did not have the chance to be disyed on stage for the time being. Because of the live-stream, they were only given ten minutes to prepare for the final round. The event location invited performing guests and some big shots to record a VCR broadcast. When Lin Qingqian and Xu Zhao got off the stage and walked to the lounge, she congratted him. Xu Zhao stopped in his tracks and his gazended on her. He said in a cold voice, ¡°Your design is very good. Don¡¯t care about what others say.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. Was heforting her? ¡°However, I won¡¯t go easy in the finalster.¡± Xu Zhao spoke again with a firm expression. ¡°The championship is mine.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curled up slightly. ¡°Then we¡¯ll have to rely on our own abilities.¡± Xu Zhao did not say anything and quickly walked to his lounge to prepare with his models. Lin Qingqian also returned to her lounge to prepare. When Su Ying was about to return to the lounge, she was stopped by Ming Xiao. Her charming eyes were cold. ¡°If you don¡¯t make a move now, you won¡¯t have a chance. Think carefully.¡± ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t have a chance.¡± Su Ying lowered her eyes, her fingers intertwining angrily and helplessly in front of her. ¡°Sister Qingqian is watching me very closely. I don¡¯t have a chance.¡± ¡°You have to create your own opportunities.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s slender and fair fingers rested on her shoulder. She lowered her head and lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear. ¡°Whether you want to be a good subordinate or a good daughter will depend on your choice.¡± With that, she left. Su Ying turned around and looked at her back. She bit her pink lips tightly and returned to the lounge a momentter. Lin Qingqian had already changed out of her clothes. At this moment, she was wearing a dark blue suit. Her golden wig was taken off, revealing her originally coffee-colored hair. ¡°Sister Qingqian.¡± Su Ying came in and called her. Lin Qingqian responded andbed her hair. The light in Su Ying¡¯s eyes secretly shed as she nced at the clothes on the rack covered by the ck cloth. She hesitated for a moment and said, ¡°Sister Qingqian, Xiao Bai said that he wants to look for you.¡± Lin Qingqian put down theb and turned to look at her. ¡°Xiao Bai? Where is ¡°He¡¯s at the front desk. He said that he wants to talk to you about something very important and wants you to go over.¡± Su Ying¡¯s voice was very soft and a little nervous. She did not dare to look into her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll go over now¡­¡± Lin Qingqian took a step forward and turned around worriedly. ¡°This ce¡­¡± ¡°I won¡¯t leave the lounge or let anyone in. Sister Qingqian, don¡¯t worry.¡± Su Ying looked up at her and tried her best to smile. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome.¡± Su Ying shook her head and watched her leave, her eyes revealing guilt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Qingqian.¡± She saw that the coffee in the cup on the table had already turned cold. She turned on her cell phone and made a video call. She fixed the angle and aimed it at the hanger. Then, she carried the cup to the hanger and lifted the ck curtain¡­ There was only a dark blue dress hanging on the clothes rack. The crystals embedded in the skirt were like the dazzling Milky Way¡­ Su Ying hesitated again and again. She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth before pouring all the coffee on it, not leaving a single drop. In the video, Ming Xiao saw her ssh the coffee on Lin Qingqian¡¯s final work with her own eyes, and a mischievous smile shed across her eyes. Su Ying threw the paper cup into the trash can and covered it with the ck curtain again. When she picked up her phone, her hands were trembling non-stop. She said anxiously, ¡°You saw it. I did everything you said. Let go of my mother quickly.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s red lips curled up. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your mother has already returned home safely! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can give her a call!¡± Without waiting for Su Ying to speak, Ming Xiao had already cut off the call. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Qingqian going to the front desk to look for Han Liubai, and the smile on her lips deepened. ¡ªLin Qingqian, oh Lin Qingqian, you would never have thought that the person you trusted the most had betrayed you. Han Liubai said with a grave expression, ¡°How could you do such a dangerous thing? You clearly know that you¡­¡± From the corner of his eye, he saw the people nearby and swallowed his words.. Chapter 365 - 365: Because This Is Ah Yan’s Gift Chapter 365 - 365: Because This Is Ah Yan¡¯s Gift Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian knew that he was worried about her and said softly, ¡°Aren¡¯t I fine?¡± ¡°You¡¯re definitely not allowed to do this next time,¡± Han Liubai said with a frown. Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed helplessly. ¡°Alright.¡¯ ¡°What are you going to doter?¡± Han Liubai was still worried. Since she did not invite the models, it meant that she had to do it herself. He was afraid that she would do another dangerous stunt. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t fly or burrow into the groundter. I¡¯ll walk up the stage obediently.¡± Han Liubai still wanted to say something, but Lin Qingqian said anxiously, ¡°Thepetition is about to begin. I¡¯ll go back and prepare first.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked backstage. Han Liubai swallowed the words he was about to say and could only watch her leave. When Lin Qingqian returned backstage, everything was as usual. Su Ying sat on a chair. Seeing that she had returned, she stood up and said, ¡°Sister Qingqian, is thepetition about to begin?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Lin Qingqian nodded and agreed helplessly. ¡°Alright.¡¯ ¡°What are you going to doter?¡± Han Liubai was still worried. Since she did not invite the models, it meant that she had to do it herself. He was afraid that she would do another dangerous stunt. He was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t fly or burrow into the groundter. I¡¯ll walk up the stage obediently.¡± Han Liubai still wanted to say something, but Lin Qingqian said anxiously, ¡°Thepetition is about to begin. I¡¯ll go back and prepare first.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked backstage. Han Liubai swallowed the words he was about to say and could only watch her leave. When Lin Qingqian returned backstage, everything was as usual. Su Ying sat on a chair. Seeing that she had returned, she stood up and said, ¡°Sister Qingqian, is thepetition about to begin? Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Do you want to change, then? Do you need my help?¡± she asked. ¡°There¡¯s no need to change this time. Just help me push the clothes rack to the entrance,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. Su Ying nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± There was a pulley setup under the hanger. The two of them pushed the hanger towards the backstage. When they passed by the corridor, many staff members looked over curiously. Because the clothes rack was covered with a ck cloth and they could not see what it was, it made them even more curious. At the entrance of the runway, Lin Qingqian and Su Ying carried the clothes rack up. ¡°Alright, go to the front desk first. I¡¯ll be fine here.¡± Su Ying obediently went to the front desk first. She walked to Han Liubai¡¯s side and looked at him. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. Her hands behind her intertwined uneasily. The first to appear was the Japanese designer. Because the theme of thepetition was ¡°the scenery of their hometown¡±, the design was still ethnically styled. The second person to appear was Xu Zhao. His bold and novel design was inspired by the crane, and his appearance attracted the apuse of many audience and judges. Thest to appear was Lin Qingqian. She did not have a model and only pushed the clothes rack slowly to the runway. The ck cloth on the clothes rack was never lifted, and it was filled with mystery. Even Xu Zhao couldn¡¯t help but look over curiously. He had to admit that Lin Qingqian¡¯s design styles are unexpected. When you thought that she would design a cheongsam, her green dress made people¡¯s eyes light up. When you thought that she would continue to walk the small and clear path, she changed to a cheongsam.. The European-style dress just now was even more beautiful. At this moment, it was the finals and thest step towards the championship. Everyone was looking forward to what shocking work she would produce. Seeing that she was not taking the usual path, Lisa sneered. ¡°Are you unable to hire a model?¡± Just now, she had gone on stage herself and now, she was pushing a clothes rack over. She was simply embarrassing herself. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Of course I can, but I don¡¯t want to.¡± Lisa frowned. ¡°Arrogant people can¡¯t make good designs.¡± Lin Qingqian had sensed that she was filled with hostility towards her since thest round. Her delicate facial features were indifferent, and she was not angry at her public humiliation. She said indifferently. ¡ªWithout knowing the full picture, one shouldn¡¯t makements. Lisa¡¯s expression darkened. Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze, the emcee hurriedly stood up to smooth things over. When his gaze swept across Lin Qingqian, he couldn¡¯t help but wipe his cold sweat. Did this designer know who Lisa was? She actually dared to talk back to her in public. No matter how good her work was, she was probably not fated to be the champion. Lisa was the chief designer of S.T. She was here to be a special judge, so she naturally had a certain say. If she objected, the other judges would more or less give her face. Below the stage, Ming Xiao sat in her seat and looked expectantly at Lin Qingqian on stage¡­ A mere S.T Fashion Design Competition was nothing to her, but she didn¡¯t want Lin Qingqian to be in the limelight this time. As long as it was something Lin Qingqian cared about, she would destroy it!! Lin Qingqian met her eyes and smiled at her. The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s lips sank as she sneered silently. She thought to herself, ¡°Lin Qingqian, you can still be smug for a few more minutes. Let¡¯s see how smug you can beter!¡± After the emcee finished interviewing the two designers and models, the judges alsomented. It was finally Lin Qingqian¡¯s turn. The emcee smiled and asked her if she could unveil the mystery of her work. Lin Qingqian said in a light voice, ¡°Sure.¡± The lights in the audience were all extinguished, leaving only a circr blue glow on the clothes rack on the catwalk. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fair and slender fingers pinched the ck cloth and pulled it down gently. The ck cloth slid down like silk¡­ Everyone present was stunned. The people in the broadcast room were stunned for a few seconds before they quickly reacted and asked the cameraman to take a close-up. Ming Xiao suddenly stood up and looked at the clothes hanging on the clothes rack. Her eyes were filled with disbelief as she muttered, ¡°How did this happen?¡± In the next second, her malicious eyes red in Su Ying¡¯s direction. Su Ying felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to look at her and revealed a bright smile. She even gestured a peace sign with her hand. Ming Xiao quickly understood that she had been tricked by them. Her eyes were filled with intense hatred as she immediately took out her phone and sent a message. In less than a few seconds, Lisa picked up her phone and took a look. Then, she stood up and said, ¡°Miss Lin, your qualification to participate has been revoked.¡± As soon as these words were spoken, the originally stunned audience regained their senses and were even more dumbfounded. This wave turned too quickly. They couldn¡¯t keep up at all. When Lin Qingqian heard this, her eyes turned slightly cold as she said indifferently, ¡°The reason!¡± ¡°As far as I know, this is not a piece you designed to participate in thepetition at all!¡± Lisa said sternly. ¡°The piece you originally used to participate in thepetition has already been destroyed. You got a suit from somewhere at thest minute and treated it as your own work. You¡¯re simply a disgrace to the design industry, so I announce that you¡¯re disqualified from participating and we will never work with you again.¡± As soon as she said this, the entire venue exploded. If this was not Lin Qingqian¡¯s design, then wasn¡¯t that cheating? Many of the audience¡¯s eyes revealed disdain. Ming Xiao had already regained herposure and sat down calmly, waiting to watch a good show. Did she think that she could get away with changing her clothes at thest minute? Dream on! Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was still calm as she said unhurriedly, ¡°May I ask if your position represents S.T.¡¯s position?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Lisa raised her chin and said proudly, ¡°I¡¯m S.T.¡¯s chief designer. My position can naturally rece S.T¡¯s.¡± ¡°Then I want to ask who in the rules of thepetition stiptes that the contestants can only prepare one design?¡± Lin Qingqian asked again. Lisa was stunned for a moment before she quickly reacted. ¡°Of course not, but this dress is not yours at all.¡± ¡°What if I can prove that I designed this dress?¡± Lin Qingqian asked without thinking. Lisa¡¯s throat tightened. Before she could speak, she heard her gentle voice say, ¡°If I can prove that I designed this work, please apologize to me in public.¡± There was no need for the emcee to pacify the crowd at the event location. They directly whistled and apuded. The onlookers neverined about having a good show to watch. The scene became very awkward. Lisa was in a dilemma, but she braced herself for the sake of her face and said, ¡°Alright, if you can prove that you designed it, I¡¯ll apologize to you.¡± Lin Qingqian turned sideways and walked to the clothes rack. She rolled up the left sleeve of her suit and revealed an embroidered word on the sleeve with dark blue thread. Although it was not obvious, it could be seen clearly if one looked carefully. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just ask if I can¡¯t afford to hire a model?¡± Lin Qingqian turned to look at Lisa, who was sitting at the judges¡¯ table, and saw that her face was gradually turning pale. ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t afford a model, but this dress is a gift from me to someone very important.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips slightly. When she mentioned that person, a trace of disappointment and sadness quickly shed across her clear eyes. ¡°He should have been my model in the finals. But it¡¯s a pity that he can¡¯te for some reason¡­ so I¡¯d rather not have a model.¡± Because this was Ah Yan¡¯s gift. No one else could wear it. The disappointment in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes disappeared in a sh. When she nced at Lisa, her gaze was cold and sharp. ¡°It¡¯s not against the rules for me to use my own work, right?¡± The scene fell into awkwardness. Lisa did not expect things to develop like this and couldn¡¯t help but re at Ming Xiao. The smile on Ming Xiao¡¯s facepletely disappeared as she red at Lin Qingqian coldly, an unprecedented hatred surging in her heart! She had long known that Lin Qingqian was scheming, so she wanted to see Su Ying ssh the coffee on her clothes with her own eyes. However, she never expected¡­ The clothes were indeed a participating piece, but it was only something that was a backup for the previous round. Lin Qingqian raised her hand and brushed her bangs that covered her eyes, revealing her bright eyes that were cold and sharp. ¡°Designer Lisa doesn¡¯t intend to apologize to me?¡± The veins on Lisa¡¯s face were about to pop out. With her current status, if she apologized to Lin Qingqian in public, she would be aughing stock in the fashion circle in the future! She definitely could not apologize. ¡°I misunderstood you. Let thepetition continue¡­¡± Lisa gritted her teeth and let go, barely squeezing out a sentence to save her dignity. Lin Qingqian was not aggressive and insisted that she apologize. Instead, she said calmly, ¡°Can Lisa exin how you found out that my work was destroyed?¡± The atmosphere that had just eased up immediately stirred again because of her words. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder. The emcee held the microphone with a hopeless expression. Saving the situation? That was impossible. The possibility did not exist. Even if an immortal came, he would not be able to save this scene. Lisa gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. Under the gazes of the audience, she flicked her sleeves and left. If she didn¡¯t apologize, she could at least maintain her dignity and status! When the emcee saw this, he raised the microphone and was about to save the situation when he heard Lin Qingqian¡¯s unhurried voice from the speaker¡ª ¡°Based on what Ms. Lisa said just now, her position represents S.T.¡¯s position. She ndered me for cheating and refused to apologize afterward. This has caused great damage to my reputation. At this point, I express my disappointment in S.T. Company.. In order to protect my reputation and my passion as a designer, I¡¯ve decided¡­ to withdraw from thepetition to protest!¡± Chapter 366 - 366: It Was Just Snatched By That Trash Jiang Yan Chapter 366 - 366: It Was Just Snatched By That Trash Jiang Yan Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The event location was silent for a few seconds before all kinds of sighs erupted. The emcee: ¡® Please help me press the coffin lid down. Thank you! Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t care about the thoughts of the audience and judges. She took down her work and left the stage. Han Liubai and Su Ying were already waiting below the stage. Su Ying could not suDDress her excitement and rushed uD to hug her warmlv. ¡°Sister Oinzaian. you¡¯re too awesome!¡± Lin Qingqian reached out to touch her head and said in a gentle voice like an elder sister, ¡°You¡¯re very good too!¡± If not for Su Ying telling her Ming Xiao¡¯s n in advance, she would not have been able to counterattack beautifully. Su Ying was a little embarrassed by her praise and a shy smile appeared on her face. ¡°Really? I was afraid that I wouldn¡¯t be able to fool Ming Xiao if I didn¡¯t act well.¡± From the moment she entered the lounge and spoke to Lin Qingqian, she had colluded with Lin Qingqian in advance because she didn¡¯t know if Ming Xiao had sent someone to eavesdrop or peek. Hence, Lin Qingqian went to the front desk to look for Han Liubai and asked Su Ying to video call Ming Xiao in the lounge to let Ming Xiao see her work sshed with coffee with her own eyes¡­ All of this was a trap from the beginning to the end, a trap to deceive and confuse Ming Xiao. If there was an ident, it was probably Lisa. If not for her questioning her work in public, Lin Qingqian would not have realized that she was in cahoots with Ming Xiao. ¡°Is your mother alright?¡± Lin Qingqian asked with concern. Su Ying nodded and said happily, ¡°Officer Gu called me. My mother is fine. Sister Qingqian, thank you so much this time!¡± If not for Lin Qingqian, she did not know what she would be like now. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°I¡¯m the one who should thank you. Thank you for trusting me. ¡± If Su Ying did not say anything and followed Ming Xiao¡¯s instructions, her mother would be fine too. However, she still took the risk to tell her. This friendship was very deep. Su Ying shook her head, her eyes slightly red. ¡°When I was in my most difficult time, it was you, Sister Qingqian, who pulled me back. How could I do something to let you down for myself?¡± ¡°Besides, even if I listen to her and do as she says, who can guarantee that she won¡¯t hurt my mother in the future and continue to threaten me?¡± Her red eyes red at the culprit not far away! Ming Xiao did not expect her n to fail sopletely, dragging Lisa down with her. This time, Little Aunt would definitely not forgive her so easily! ¡ªLin Qingqian!! There was intense hatred in her eyes, but she could not say or do anything in public. The only thing they could do was leave angrily. When Lin Qingqian saw her facial features that were almost squeezed together from anger, she was in a good mood. Indeed, there was a certain logic in building one¡¯s happiness on the pain of others. This was all Ming Xiao¡¯s fault. Who asked her to only think about harming others! A hint of helplessness shed across Han Liubai¡¯s gentle eyes. ¡°You¡¯re too impulsive.¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and knew what he was referring to. Her lips curved as she said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s just apetition. With Lisa around, I won¡¯t win the championship. Even if I win, S.T and I won¡¯t be able to cooperate. This ending is the best.¡± Han Liubai frowned at the thought of Lisa and didn¡¯t refute her. Because of Lin Qingqian¡¯s withdrawal, the originally three-person finals became two people. Xu Zhao was the most likely person to win the championship. Although Lisa had left, thepetition still had to continue¡­ The emcee stood up again to restart the procedure. Xu Zhao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, ¡°I¡¯ll withdraw from thepetition too.¡± The audience: ¡® . The judges: ¡® The emcee: Please bury me, thank you. Xu Zhao left the stage without even an exnation. Lin Qingqian looked at him with her bright eyes, her eyes filled with confusion¡­ She had withdrawn from thepetition because of Ming Xiao, Lisa, and S.T. They had no possibility of coborating. There was no need for him to withdraw. Xu Zhao seemed to sense her gaze and stopped in his tracks. He looked at her and said in an indifferent tone, ¡°I didn¡¯t withdraw from thepetition because of you.¡± Lin Qingqian: ??? I didn¡¯t tter myself that it was because of me. Xu Zhao pretended not to see the confusion in her eyes and said, ¡°For designers who look down on Chinese culture, even if I win the championship, I can¡¯t cooperate with people who devalue our national culture.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and gave him a thumbs up. ¡°Designer Xu has a strong character.¡± Xu Zhao nced at her expressionlessly and turned to leave without saying anything. Lin Qingqian silently retracted her raised thumb. Su Ying was confused and asked curiously, ¡°Sister Qingqian, do you have a grudge with him?¡± ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian quickly denied. Su Ying was even more puzzled. ¡°Then why is he looking at you strangely?¡± Lin Qingqian also knew that the way Xu Zhao looked at her was a little wrong, but she did not know why. ¡°You¡¯re mistaken.¡± She patted Su Ying¡¯s little head. ¡°You did very well this time. I¡¯ll give you a raise when we get back.¡± When she heard the word ¡°raise¡±, Su Ying¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Thank you, Sister Qingqian.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at Han Liubai, who was helping her get her clothes, and said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Han Liubai nodded with a smile. ¡°Alright.¡± The three of them returned to the hotel in a good mood. Lan City, Tianyue Group¡¯s office. Jiang Yanshen leaned back in his chairzily, his deep eyes staring at the paused scene. On the screen was Lin Qingqian¡¯s clean and exquisite face. Her expression was indifferent, and there was an extraordinary calmness between her brows. And there was a ck suit hanging on the hanger beside her. He could not tell the difference between it and what he was wearing, but¡­ Her gentle voice echoed in his ears. ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t afford a model, but this dress is a gift from me to someone very important.¡± ¡°Originally, he should be my model in the finals. But it¡¯s a pity that he can¡¯te for some reason¡­ so I¡¯d rather not have a model.¡± In other words, she had designed this set of clothes for him, but that piece of trash Jiang Yan had snatched it away. His well-defined fingers gently rubbed his thin lips, and the light in his eyes became even more evil and yful. ¡ªKnock, knock. Jiang Yanshen put down his long legs on the desk and stared at him with his sharp eyes. ¡°He told you everything, right?¡± Lu Yuan was stunned at first. When he came back to his senses, he said, ¡°No matter who it is, I¡¯m loyal to Director Jiang.¡± In other words, he did not care who the soul in front of him was. ¡°Reason?¡± He raised his eyebrows. Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and replied, ¡°After leaving Tianyue Group, no one will take me in. Other than Director Jiang, no one can protect me.¡± Once he left the Tianyue Group and lost Jiang Yanshen¡¯s protection, he would be like an ant being trampled on by Lu Dongcheng. Jiang Yanshen stood up and walked in front of him. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, saying casually, ¡°I like people like you who understand the times. Don¡¯t worry¡­ As long as I¡¯m around, Lu Dongcheng can¡¯t touch you.¡± He paused and tightened his grip on his shoulder silently, the light in his eyes bing colder. ¡°Simrly, if you dare to betray me, I can let you die an ugly death!¡± The bones in Lu Yuan¡¯s shoulder hurt. He looked up at him, his eyes filled with reverence. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t betray Director Jiang.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s grip on his shoulder loosened, and his thin lips curled up in satisfaction. ¡°Then help me do something first!¡± Lu Yuan¡¯s lowered eyes shed as he looked at him curiously. The uneasiness in his eyes disappeared. It was so fast that even Jiang Yanshen did not catch it. When Lin Qingqian and Xu Zhao withdrew from thepetition, the Japanese contestants won the championship withoutpeting. Not only did she not receive any congrattions or glory, but she also became a joke. Simrly, S.T. became a joke. It was originally very prestigious in the industry and was also deeply liked and pursued by young people in the country. But in the end? When theizens saw Lisa targeting Lin Qingqian on the live-stream and ndering her without apologizing, they immediately exploded. #Boycott S.T #Boycott Lisa #Lisa refuses to apologize¡­ Several topics were directly sent to the trending searches. He Ka: They look down on our Chinese style? F*ck¡­ how shameless! Serene Dream: Didn¡¯t she agree to represent S.T¡¯s position? This is how S.T looks down on our designers while earning our money? Cabbages with ck Hearts: Shen Qian Goddess is awesome. It doesn¡¯t matter if she doesn¡¯t participate in this lousypetition! Ah Mao Meow: I won¡¯t buy anything from S.T anymore. I want to keep the money to buy a beautiful dress from Air. Stars in You: @Shenqian, quicklye up with a new design. I want to buy it! Little Seven: @Shenqian, I want to buy that light purple dress!!! I¡¯ll buy it no matter how much it costs!!! For a moment, there was a trend on the Inte. ¡°No matter who you are, as long as you buy Air, we¡¯ll be sisters!¡± Whether it was Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans or the passersby, they all urged her to release the new products. Not only did they urge her on Shi Guang Studio¡¯s official website, but they also urged her on the Weibo ount of Lu Qinshang, Luo Tianxue, and the others. While Lu Qinshang was filming and resting, he rarely touched his cell phone and opened Weibo. He almost thought that he had logged into the wrong ount. He logged out and logged in again. Then, he opened thements and saw that they were all urging Shenqian to produce a new design. Then, he looked at the profile picture¡­ Tt wag indppd hig handgnmp_ plp?ant_ and Charmin¡± qplf Lu Qinshang: ¡°After filming, I opened Weibo. I feel like I¡¯ve missed out on a century. ¡± A Maple Leafmented, ¡°Stop talking and hurry up and urge the Goddess toe up with a new design. We want to buy, buy, buy!¡± Lu Qinshang replied: ? He was just short of asking if they were his fans or Lin Qingqian¡¯s fans? A Maple Leaf replied coldly, ¡°In any case, you don¡¯t have a new album. We have to support the local products and transfer money to the Goddess!¡± Lu Qinshang: . He did not feel sad for long before he saw a new Weibo post. Luo Tianxue: That light purple dress is so beautiful. I think there¡¯s only one. Only I can wear it. (Shy emoji) Lu Qinshang couldn¡¯t help but turn his head to look at the woman sitting under the parasol beside him, drinking the coffee bought by her assistant leisurely. ¡°Can you stop being so split personality? You¡¯re one way online, and a different way in real life!¡± Thinking of split personalities, he couldn¡¯t help but think of Ah Yan and feel sad again..

This group of young people with double standards! Luo Tianxue clicked her tongue and said as she scrolled through Weibo, ¡°I¡¯m not you. My persona will not copse.¡± Lu Qinshang rolled his eyes at her. ¡°Keep bragging. I¡¯ll see how long your silly and sweet persona canst!¡± Luo Tianxue red at him. ¡°You¡¯re the silly one. I¡¯m clearly innocent and unpretentious.¡± ¡°Urgh!¡± Lu Qinshang pretended to vomit. Luo Tianxue couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste her breath on him and directly attacked¡­ The two of them started fooling around on the set, not noticing that there was a long camera not far away. Mn, hotel. Lin Qingqian and Su Ying had just finished packing their things when Han Liubai knocked on the door. ¡°The car is here. I¡¯ll help you bring your luggage down first.¡± Lin Qingqian was worried about his health. ¡°Just let the attendant do this.¡± Han Liubai pushed a suitcase in each hand and said gentlemanly, ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. There are still two hours before the ne takes off. Don¡¯t be anxious. Take your time.¡± Lin Qingqian thanked him. Su Ying poured the boiling water into a cup and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we didn¡¯t win the championship.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out and pinched her cheek. ¡°Why are you even more disappointed than me?¡± ¡°If you win the championship this time and can coborate with S.T, AIR can step into the international market!¡± Su Ying¡¯s almond-shaped eyes were filled with anticipation. ¡°At that time, foreigners will all wear the clothes designed by Sister Qingqian. Just thinking about it makes me very happy.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so ambitious at such a young age. You want us to enter the international market before we even stabilize the domestic market!¡± Her fair fingertips flicked her forehead. Su Ying touched her forehead and smiled foolishly. ¡°Although I don¡¯t know much about design, I think every piece of clothing designed by Sister Qingqian is very good-looking. It¡¯s really nice. I really want to see everyone wear the clothes designed by Sister Qingqian. Then, ourpany will be stronger and stronger. It¡¯s best if we¡¯re stronger than that person with the surname Ming.¡± At the thought of Ming Xiao kidnapping her mother and threatening her, she was still very angry. Because Ming Xiao was overseas, those people were all local hooligans. As long as they received enough money, they were not afraid of going to jail. Therefore, they could not arrest Ming Xiao and convict her. ¡°She has the Ming Corporation behind her. Even if I work hard for my entire life, I can¡¯t be stronger than her,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. Su Ying snorted. ¡°What¡¯s great about the Ming Corporation? Don¡¯t you still have Director Jiang? Tianyue Group is much more powerful than the Ming Corporation. When you return to the country, you must tell Director Jiang and let him help you vent your anger.¡± The smile on Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips suddenly froze, and the light in her eyes involuntarily dimmed. Seeing that she was silent, Su Ying felt that she had gotten a little carried away. She said carefully, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sister Qingqian. Did I say something wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and shook her head gently. ¡°No, let¡¯s go down.¡± With that, she picked up her handbag and walked towards the door. Su Ying could clearly sense her low spirits and couldn¡¯t help but p herself on the forehead. Before she went overseas, Suisui had specially instructed her not to mention Director Jiang in front of Sister Qingqian. How could she have forgotten? On the way to the airport, Lin Qingqian did not say a word. She turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window that was constantly retreating, and her fingertips involuntarily touched the ne around her neck¡­ Han Liubai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had been looking at her indifferent expression through the rearview mirror. The light in his eyes clearly alternated. Su Ying¡¯s eyes darted between the two of them. She bit her pink lips and lowered her head silently to reduce her presence. When they arrived at the airport, they checked in and went to the departure lounge to wait. Su Ying received the document from the operations department and logged into Weibo to post it. At the same time, she took a look at thements. She couldn¡¯t help butugh. Lin Qingqian nced at her smile from the corner of her eye and said indifferently, ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°Sister Qingqian, theizens are all urging you toe up with new designs and are waiting to spend money on you.¡± Su Ying handed her the phone. Lin Qingqian took a few nces and the frown on her face rxed a little. She returned the phone to Su Ying and took out her own phone to look at it. The countless privatements and reminders since thest time she had logged into Weibo had umted to 999+. She opened it and saw that thetest ones were all urging her to release the new designs quickly andforting her that she was part of such a discriminatorypetition. There were also some people scolding her, but most of them wereforting her and even mentioned Jiang Yanshen. Still Cold: It¡¯s just withdrawing from thepetition. You still have Director Jiang. I can still recall the fear of being dominated by the love messages in the entire city! There were countless people who tagged Tianyue Group¡¯s official Weibo ount under this Weibo post. They were about to ask Director Jiang toe out andfort his girlfriend¡­ If Ah Yan was still around¡­ Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes trembled. At this time, he would definitely try his best toe to her side. He might not say anythingforting, but he would definitely hug her and think of ways to make her happy. Although the way he coaxed her every time was old-fashioned and clumsy, she knew that he was already doing his best. Lin Qingqian logged out of Weibo and didn¡¯t look again. Not long after, this became a trending topic and even reached Jiang Yanshen¡¯s ears. After boarding the ne, Lin Qingqian asked the air stewardess for a ss of milk. After drinking it, she covered herself with a thin nket and rested. She had consumed too much energy participating in thepetition recently and was very tired. She should take advantage of this time to rest well. Other than waking up to eat, she slept the rest of the flight. Until Han Liubai shook her shoulder. ¡°Qingqian, wake up. We¡¯re getting off the ne.¡± Lin Qingqian raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. When she got up, the thin nket slid to the ground. Han Liubai bent down, picked up the thin nket, and handed it to the flight attendant. He said in a gentle voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian was still nodding sleepily and was about to leave when her body bumped into the seat beside her. ¡°Be careful.¡± Han Liubai pulled her back in time. Only then did Lin Qingqian wake up from her daze. She heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to thank him. ¡°Thank you, Xiao Bai.¡± ¡°Be careful,¡± Han Liubai repeated gently. Lin Qingqian nodded and patted her face to wake herself uppletely. She took her handbag and got off the ne. Han Liubai called a taxi to send her to Begonia Courtyard first before sending Su Ying back. The moment Lin Qingqian entered the house with her luggage, she saw the man sitting on the sofa¡­ A trace of confusion shed across her bright eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Jiang Yanshen was still wearing a ck shirt with the top unbuttoned, revealing his exquisite corbones. His slender legs were ced on the coffee table, and when he nced at her from the corner of his eyes, there was a hint of teasing¡­ ¡°This is my home too, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was pushing the luggage tightened involuntarily as she said indifferently, ¡°If you want to live here, I can move away.¡± ¡°Move away?¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and stood up to walk towards her. His fingers reached for her cheek. ¡°Why do you want to move away? We¡¯re husband and wife. Isn¡¯t it normal for us to live together?¡± Before his fingertips could touch her cheek, they were pped away. When Lin Qingqian nced at him, her eyes were cold and sharp. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, I¡¯ll repeat it to you onest time. The person I love and married is Ah Yan, not you! ¡± The smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips froze. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall. He lowered his head and gritted his teeth. ¡°I¡¯ll warn you onest time. I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen, not Jiang Xiao Jiu.¡± Lin Qingqian was shocked by his sudden ruthlessness. Her breathing couldn¡¯t help but quicken, but her voice was still calm. ¡°That¡¯s right. In my heart, Jiang Xiao Jiu is just a child who likes to eat minced meat noodles and watch Tom and Jerry.¡± His angry eyes were suddenly stunned, and his grip on her loosened a little. It wasn¡¯t like they didn¡¯t have any memories between them. Every time he came out, she would cook delicious food for him, watch cartoons with him, and sleep with him. Although he was pretending, seeing how gentle and patient she was with him and how she satisfied his requests¡­ His dirty and despicable heart couldn¡¯t help but feel anticipation. Could she also belong to him like this? Lin Qingqian looked up at him and bit her lip. ¡°I¡¯m very curious. You¡¯ve always looked down on Ah Yan, but I¡¯m the woman Ah Yan loves. Why are you pestering me instead of handing over a divorce agreement?¡± Jiang Yan took a deep breath and froze for a moment, quickly hiding the look that shed across his eyes. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you think I¡¯ll like you?¡± He sized her up arrogantly and mocked, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m as blind as him?¡± ¡°Then let go of me and stay away from me. Don¡¯te near me again.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s indifferent tone slowly rose. ¡°Give me a week. I¡¯ll pack my things and leave.¡± ¡°Do you really not want to see me, or do you not want to see my face that¡¯s not as affectionate as that piece of trash? He even posted love messages all over the city. The two of you are really disgusting.¡± His thin lips moved, and every word seemed to be tinged with venom. Lin Qingqian¡¯s chest constricted and she secretly gulped. She said in a tense voice, ¡°That¡¯s still better than you. Do you Imow what love is? Have you loved anyone else? Have you ever been loved by anyone? Think about how you¡¯ve been hiding in the dark like a rat for so many years. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re very pitiful?¡± Language was the sharpest knife in the world. Although it could not be seen or touched, it could urately stab into one¡¯s heart. One could not avoid it even if they wanted to. ¡°Shut up!¡± Jiang Yanshen was clearly angered by her. He grabbed her hand, let go, and raised it to p her face. Seeing that his palm was about tond, Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t dodge or panic. Instead, she calmly pointed at the probe above the corner¡ª ¡°If you want to be on the trending searches tomorrow, feel free to attack me.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and followed her fair finger to see the camera with the shing red light. His expression immediately changed from anger to being unsightly. His stiff arms fell in midair, and his deep eyes were mixed with light and darkness. A momentter, he clenched his jaw and turned to leave¡­ He did not notice that he had kicked away Lin Qingqian¡¯s handbag that had fallen to the ground. Her handbag spread open, and a few medicine bottles rolled out.. Chapter 369 - 369: Untitled Chapter 369 - 369: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian: ¡°.. ¡® Her bright eyes looked at Suisui, who was lying listlessly on the table. No wonder the little girl, who was usually full of vitality, was like a deted ball today. ¡°Bring Song Qin to familiarize herself with the environment first and help her with the handover.¡± Su Ying nodded and brought Song Qin to familiarize herself with the environment before choosing an office for her. Lin Qingqian walked to her desk and knocked on it.
Suisui came back to her senses. Just as she looked up, she heard her gentle voice say, ¡°Come to my office.¡± Suisui followed behind her like a soulless puppet. She walked into the office and no longer skipped around like before. Lin Qingqian poured a ss of warm water for her. ¡°Tell me.¡± Suisui held the cup with both hands and lowered her head. ¡°Tell you what?¡± Lin Qingqian sat down in front of the swivel chair and looked at her with her bright eyes. ¡°Lu Qinshang!¡± Suisui looked up at her and quickly lowered her head. Her fingers drew circles on the cup. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to say.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. ¡°Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t call you?¡± Suisui shook her head. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Then call him.¡± Suisui still shook her head. ¡°He¡¯s filming Director Ding¡¯s show this time to change his image. In the future, he¡¯ll be a talented star instead of a handsome face. I can¡¯t hold Big Brother back at this time!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that he¡¯ll really be with Luo Tianxue?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Suisui tightened her grip on the cup involuntarily. She looked up at her and hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t you think that actually¡­ the two of them are verypatible?¡± Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows and did not say anything. Suisui put down the cup and gestured with her fingers. ¡°Luo Tianxue is good-looking. She¡¯s also Lu Dongcheng¡¯s sister and a popr star. Every time they¡¯re together, even if they quarrel, they¡¯re very pleasing to the eye. ¡°But look at me¡­ I look ordinary ande from an ordinary family. Other than Imowing how to help others put on makeup, I¡¯m useless. If not for the fact that I¡¯m pregnant, Big Brother wouldn¡¯t have married me.¡± The more she spoke, the sadder she became. She looked at Lin Qingqian aggrievedly. ¡°Qianqian, did I¡­ dy Big Brother¡¯s happiness?¡± ¡® Lin Qingqian really wanted to pry open her little head to see what was inside. ¡°Suisui, didn¡¯t you always say that I gave Jiang Yanshen too much in the past? Look at you now. Don¡¯t you think you don¡¯t have any bottom line with Lu Qinshang anymore?¡± Suisui blushed and scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. ¡°Talk is cheap. I found out now after I¡¯m in the same situation!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°¡­¡± Suisui lowered her head and intertwined her fingers. She said in a muffled voice, ¡°Qianqian, Big Brother is really very good. Even if he doesn¡¯t like me, he¡¯ll marry me for the sake of responsibility. But I don¡¯t want to dy him.¡± ¡°How do you know that he doesn¡¯t like you?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Suisui looked up, her almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise. ¡°Big Brother likes me? Impossible¡­ What does he like about me? How am I worthy of his liking?!¡± Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand and pinch the space between her eyebrows. She felt a deep sense of helplessness. This child was even more demonic than she was back then. ¡°So what are you going to do?¡± Suisui hesitated for a moment and whispered, ¡°I want to annul the engagement.¡± ¡°What about the child?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Suisui took a deep breath and raised her head and chest. ¡°I¡¯ll raise it myself. I¡¯m confident that I can be a good single mother!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Forget it, she¡¯s already possessed. It¡¯s better to let Lu Qinshang resolve it himself. The inexplicable trending topics of Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue caught the twopanies off guard. Although they were only good friends and partners and came out immediately to refute the rumors, they couldn¡¯t withstand the wild joy of the couple pairing fans. Coupled with the fact that the two of them were very good-looking, passers-by began to kowtow to the #QinXue couple pairing#. Lu Qinshang and Luo Tianxue did not take this matter seriously and focused on filming. In the end, they realized that the poprity had not subsided after a few days. Most importantly¡ª Suisui was not answering his calls!!! Chapter 370 - 370: Late Love Is Worse Than Grass Chapter 370 - 370: Late Love Is Worse Than Grass Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions She did not answer his calls or reply to his messages. There was no response at all. Lu Qinshang was instantly angry. Was the little girl rebelling? Though he was angry, he couldn¡¯t help but worry. He had been busy filming recently. Could something have happened to the little girl? He did not dare to call his future inws, so he called Lin Qingqian. Lin Qingqian received his call and said that Suisui was fine.
Lu Qinshang was puzzled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t she answer my call for no reason? Give her the phone!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s indifferent voice sounded from the phone. ¡°If you¡¯re really so concerned about her,e back yourself. I don¡¯t want to be the mouthpiece.¡± With that, she hung up. Lu Qinshang: Why did he feel that his sister-inw had eaten a keg of gunpowder? Or¡­ perhaps that thing was here?? Lu Qinshang was really worried. He eagerly looked for Director Ding to discuss if the scenes for tonight could be rescheduled to tomorrow night. He had to return to Lan City. Director Ding was a rtively rigid person. He hated actors who were unprofessional and cut scenes the most. However, ever since Lu Qinshang joined the production team, his performance had been very professional, and there was nothing wrong with his acting skills. The weather forecast said that there might be heavy rain at night, so he nodded in agreement. However, he had to be on set at seven tomorrow. Only then did Lu Qinshang heave a sigh of relief and immediately drove back to Lan City. ¡®l¡¯ne tilmmg location was In a small county City Deside Lan City. It was already 9 p.m. when he drove back to the city. Lu Qinshang¡¯s car arrived at Suisui¡¯s house. He called but she still did not pick up and he continued to send her messages on WeChat. ¡°I¡¯m downstairs at your house. I¡¯ll be up in five minutes.¡± After waiting for a long time, Suisui finally replied to his message. ¡°I¡¯m at Qianqian¡¯s house.¡± Lu Qinshang cursed softly and immediately started the car to go to Begonia Courtyard. Suisui replied to Lu Qinshang on WeChat and held her cell phone nervously. ¡°Qianqian, Big Brother ising to look for me. What should I do?¡± Lin Qingqian drank her milk calmly. ¡°Lay your cards on the table and negotiate. Do whatever you have to do.¡± Suisui puffed up her cheeks. ¡°But¡­ I don¡¯t know what to tell him.¡± Lin Qingqian shifted her gaze to her and said softly, ¡®You can say whatever you want. Will he eat you up? Suisui tilted her head in thought and took a deep breath. ¡°That¡¯s true. Business isn¡¯t about benevolence. I¡¯m doing this for his own good! As a fan, I can¡¯t lose my mind with the child!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® You¡¯vepletely lost your mind! Lu Qinshang had probably raced all the way here and arrived very quickly. As soon as he entered, he said angrily, ¡°Yansui,e out!¡± He was aggressive, looking like he wanted to eat people. Lin Qingqian stood on the second floor and said softly, ¡°Keep your voice down. She¡¯s already asleep.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s fierce expression immediately rxed. ¡°She¡¯s asleep?¡± He was so angry that he wanted tough when he knew that she could still fall asleep even though he wasing over. ¡°She¡¯s been sleeping a little too much recently. She also sleeps whenever she wants in thepany,¡± Lin Qingqian exined faintly. Lu Qinshang was angry, but his body honestly walked upstairs very lightly. ¡°Where is she?¡± Lin Qingqian brought him to the door of Suisui¡¯s room and gently pushed it open. ¡°She was originally waiting for you, but she couldn¡¯t take it and fell asleep downstairs. I asked Chen Mu to carry her up.¡± ¡°Chen Mu?¡± Lu Qinshang raised his eyebrows, his displeasure obvious. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Do you think I can carry her up or let a pregnant woman sleep on the sofa?¡± Lu Qinshang was instantly speechless. ¡°Let me take a look at her.¡± He walked in. ¡°Lu Qinshang¡­¡± Lin Qingqian called out to him. Lu Qinshang turned around and heard her light voice say, ¡°I know you¡¯re used to arguing with Luo Tianxue, and I know that you and Luo Tianxue don¡¯t like each other, but Suisui doesn¡¯t know.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the bed in the room, her eyes revealing a hint of pity. ¡°She¡¯s always lived a carefree and happy life. She doesn¡¯t take anything to heart. Only you¡­ she cares only about you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a saying thatte love is cheaper than grass. You¡¯re different from Ah Yan. Don¡¯t wait until you lose something before thinking of cherishing it.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and returned to her room. Lu Qinshang stood rooted to the ground for a long time, his eyes dim and hesitant. It wasn¡¯t clear if it was for Suisui or for his once trusted good brother. When he walked into the room, he saw the little girl sleeping soundly on the big bed. Because she was pregnant, her chubby face was round, and her curly eyshes were quietly covering her eyes. She was sleeping soundly and did not notice anyone walking in. Lu Qinshang carefully sat by the bed and looked at her sleeping soundly. The churning emotions in his chest gradually calmed down¡­ Suisui was in a daze when she felt a shadow in front of her. She slowly opened her eyes and saw his face. She muttered, ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± She reached out and rubbed her eyes, as if suspecting that she was dreaming. Lu Qinshang reached out and touched her round face. ¡°Why did you wake up?¡± The warm and dry touch on her face immediately woke Suisui up. She sat up and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Big Brother. I didn¡¯t fall asleep on purpose. I originally wanted to wait for you, but in the end¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang had already reached out to hug her. He stroked the back of her head gently. ¡°Silly girl.¡± Suisui: ? Lu Qinshang hugged her in his arms. His empty chest finally felt more stable because it was filled. He said slowly in a low voice, ¡°Others don¡¯t know, but how could you not know? How can it Luo Tianxue and I like each other?¡± Suisui¡¯s body stiffened. She pushed his arms away and looked at him carefully. ¡°But¡­ don¡¯t you think that the two of you are verypatible? Your families arepatible, your appearances arepatible, and you¡¯re all big celebrities who have a lot of topics to talk about. The two of you can be considered to be evenly matched in love as others say.¡± She sped her fingers and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m just an ordinary girl. Other than makeup, I don¡¯t know anything. I¡¯m the kind of girl who can¡¯t be found in a crowd¡­¡¯ ¡°But I like you, who¡¯s very ordinary.¡± Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Qinshang. When she heard his words, she was stunned. She blinked at him, suspecting that she had heard wrongly. ¡°W-What did you Lu Qinshang reached out and pinched her cheek. He said seriously, ¡°Just the fact that you¡¯re one of a kind in the world makes you extraordinary. Moreover, you¡¯re my future wife, the mother of my child.¡± ¡°Big Brother, did you just say¡­¡± Suisui pointed at him and then at herself.¡± You¡­ like me? ¡® Lu Qinshang¡¯s beautiful lips curled up. ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Suisui shook her head and the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrobly. ¡°You can! Definitely!¡± Then, she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°But¡­ why?¡± ¡°What do you mean, why?¡± ¡°Why do you¡­ like me?¡± Suisui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes widened, filled with curiosity. Lu Qinshang¡¯s ears slowly turned red, and his gaze shifted elsewhere. He was clearly embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and said, ¡°Why must there be a reason? Like means like.¡± ¡°But¡­¡¯ Before Suisui could ask, he interrupted, ¡°No buts! I haven¡¯t scolded you yet. Why didn¡¯t you answer my calls or reply to my messages? You¡¯ve be bolder.¡¯ ¡°Uh¡­¡± Suisui immediately felt guilty. She scratched the back of her ears and muttered carefully, ¡°I just thought that you and Luo Tianxue¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Lu Qinshang deliberately pulled a long face. Just as he was about to scold her, he heard a happy cry. Suisui immediately held her stomach, her face red with embarrassment. Embarrassing, too embarrassing. Kid, why can¡¯t you do something for your mother! Lu Qinshang swallowed the words that were about toe out of his mouth. He stared at her stomach and asked curiously, ¡®You didn¡¯t eat enough at night?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡¯ve eaten.¡± Suisui revealed a silly smile. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ just that I get hungry easily in the middle of the night.¡± Lu Qinshang: ¡°So¡­ you were woken up by hunger?¡± Suisui: ¡°¡­¡± It was good that he knew. Why did he have to say it out loud!!! Lu Qinshang was a little worried. ¡°But I don¡¯t know how to cook.¡± Ever since he was young, he had gotten whatever he wanted with ease. When he became an artiste, he had his manager and assistant to do things for him. He did not need to do anything himself. Suisui was also worried. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to cook either. Moreover, Qianqian only has one helper at home. She¡¯s resting now.¡± She could not possibly wake Auntie up to make supper for her! ¡°Why don¡¯t I endure it? I should be fine.¡± Suisui rubbed her nose and said firmly. She could not let Big Brother think that she was a glutton!! ¡°How can that do! You¡¯re still carrying my child!¡± Lu Qinshang thought for a moment and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I have an idea.¡± Half an hourter, Sister Chan brought two portions of supper to Begonia Courtyard and rolled her eyes at Lu Qinshang. ¡°Lu Qinshang, you¡¯re really something. It¡¯s not enough to serve an ancestor like you usually, but now, you¡¯ve found another ancestor to let me serve!¡± Lu Qinshang took the supper and said shamelessly, ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. There¡¯s still a little ancestor in her stomach.¡± Sister Chan: Suisui revealed an embarrassed smile. ¡°Thank you, Sister Chan.¡± Sister Chan didn¡¯t treat Lu Qinshang well, but her attitude towards Suisui was still very good. After all, the little girl was obedient and had a good temper. She was such a good fan, but she was ruined by Lu Qinshang just like that. If word got out, where would she put her face?! Lu Qinshang kicked her to the curb as soon as she outlived her usefulness. He asked Sister Chan to quickly go back and spend the night. Before Sister Chan left, she couldn¡¯t help but re at him. She would deal with him when the little girl was not around. Lu Qinshang held Suisui¡¯s hand and walked to the dining table to sit down. ¡°Don¡¯t take her words to heart. All these years after I debuted, she has been controlling me like she¡¯s my sister. I once suspected that she was my father¡¯s illegitimate daughter.¡± Suisui: ¡± Big Brother, you really dare to think about it. Lu Qinshang said this because he did not want her little head to run wild with imagination again. The two of them were halfway through their supper when they saw Lin Qingqian walking down the stairs. The atmosphere immediately became a little awkward. It was as if a child who had secretly eaten snacks in the middle of the night had been caught by a parent. Suisui swallowed the food in her mouth and exined, ¡°I was hungry, so Big Brother asked someone to bring me food. He thought that since you were asleep, we didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. You guys eat.¡± Lin Qingqian was relieved to see that they had probably talked it out. She turned around and walked into the storage room. She took out arge box and wanted to go upstairs. Suisui asked curiously, ¡°Qianqian, what are you doing with the box?¡± Chapter 371 - 371: I Really Miss You! Chapter 371: I Really Miss You! Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian: ¡°I can¡¯t sleep, so I¡¯m packing things.¡± Suisui and Lu Qinshang looked at each other. ¡°Are you moving? Where are you moving to?¡± ¡°This is the property under Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s name. I n to move back to my previous apartment. I¡¯ve already bought that apartment.¡± Before Suisui could react, Lu Qinshang immediately reacted and cursed softly, ¡°F*ck! He doesn¡¯t even let you live in a house. Does he have to be so trashy!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Suisui echoed. ¡°Although Jiang Yanshen was a dog in the past, he wasn¡¯t stingy. Why is he so stingy now!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing them echoing each other, Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°That¡¯s good too. I didn¡¯t marry him in the first ce. I¡¯ll find a suitable opportunity to settle the procedures with him in a few days.¡± She had been married twice and divorced twice, and it was with the same person. No one would believe it. Most importantly, she did not know how to tell her Aunt about this. Suisui didn¡¯t have the appetite to eat anymore. She put down her chopsticks and walked in front of her, reaching out to hug her. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be sad. You still have me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! There¡¯s still us!¡± Lu Qinshang added. Although that was only a split personality, they had been brothers for so many years. How can he say that because it¡¯s a split personality, there were no feelings? Lin Qingqian nced at the two of them and said with a faint smile, ¡°Alright, I¡¯m really fine. What are you doing? You guys continue eating. I¡¯ll go upstairs and pack.¡± With that, she turned around and went upstairs with the cardboard box. Suisui stood rooted to the ground and stared at her back. Lu Qinshang walked to her side and asked curiously, ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Looking at Qianqian.¡± Suisui retracted her gaze and looked at him. ¡°Don¡¯t you think¡­ she¡¯s acting a little too calmly?¡± Lu Qinshang blinked and asked curiously, ¡°Really? Isn¡¯t that good?¡± Suisui pouted and said in a low voice, ¡°You don¡¯t understand. Qianqian has always loved Jiang Yanshen very much. She had actually always loved him in her heart even when she divorced him back then. She just didn¡¯t want to suffer anymore in that love and lose herself. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have married him again. But now that Jiang Yanshen is gone, this feeling is like the person you love has suddenly died. Do you understand?¡± Just saying that made Suisui very sad. ¡°But after such a thing happened, Qianqian seems to have been very calm. She eats, sleeps, and works normally as if nothing had happened. It¡¯s really sad.¡± Lu Qinshang was confused and seemed to understand. ¡°You mean she¡¯s been pretending to be strong? Suisui turned her head and looked at him sadly. ¡°If I die one day, will you still eat, sleep, and work normally like nothing happened?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Lu Qinshang knocked her head. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®if you die¡¯? What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Suisui touched the ce where she was knocked and sighed. ¡°In short, Qianqian really loves Jiang Yanshen very much. The more nonchnt she appears, the sadder she is and the more she can¡¯t let go.¡± Lu Qinshang sighed with her and walked back to the dining table with his arm around her shoulder. ¡°Ah Yan is no longer around. No matter how much she can¡¯t let go, she has to slowly let go. We can¡¯t let her be with the current Jiang Yanshen, right?!¡± At the mention of the current Jiang Yanshen, Lu Qinshang¡¯s face was filled with disdain. He had never seen such an annoying person. He was even more detestable than Second Young Master Jiang. Far away in Europe, Jiang Yunshen sneezed, and an inexplicable chill surged up his spine. The two of them returned to their room to rest after supper. Lu Qinshang covered her with a nket. ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Suisui nodded, but she looked at him with her almond-shaped eyes. Lu Qinshangy on his side beside her and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°Why are you smiling and not sleeping?¡± Suisui crossed her small hands in front of her, her thumbs spinning crazily. She smiled and said, ¡°Is what you said about liking me true?¡± ¡°What else?¡± Lu Qinshang scratched her little nose, paused, and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not the only one who values this drama now. Luo Tianxue also values it very much. The entire production team is counting on it to win an award, so I don¡¯t have much time to take care of you. The media has always liked to write nonsense. Don¡¯t take it seriously. If there¡¯s anything bothering you, don¡¯t hold back. Call me and ask me.¡± Suisui nodded obediently. ¡°I know.¡± Lu Qinshang was suspicious. ¡°You really know?¡± This little girl had a strange way of thinking. He was really worried. ¡°Why don¡¯t you follow me to the production team?¡± He would feel more at ease if he kept her under his nose. Suisui hurriedly shook her head. ¡°No need. I have to go to work. Moreover, what if I dy your work! No!¡± Seeing that she was unwilling to go, Lu Qinshang thought that the filming location was not a good ce. He thought for a moment and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t we make our rtionship public?¡± ¡°That¡¯s even more impossible!!¡± Suisui¡¯s attitude became even more firm and unyielding. ¡°Although the mother fans says that they don¡¯t care if you have a girlfriend or not if you get married, they¡¯re just saying it. If they really found out that you¡¯re getting married, who knows how much they¡¯ll cry.¡± As a girl who chased after celebrities, she knew too well what it was like to have their hope copse! Lu Qinshang sighed. ¡°This won¡¯t do, and that won¡¯t do. Little girl, you¡¯re very difficult to serve!¡± He pinched her face to vent his anger. Although he was venting his anger, he didn¡¯t use any strength. Suisui smiled foolishly. It wasn¡¯t clear what she was thinking, but her eyes darted around. ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± ¡°You really like me?¡± Lu Qinshang narrowed his eyes. ¡°Are you still suspecting me?¡± Suisui¡¯s face burned. ¡°Then¡­ why didn¡¯t you kiss me? Didn¡¯t they say that when boys fall in love, their minds will be filled with kisses?¡± Lu Qinshang was stunned. Then, his throat tightened and his voice became hoarse. ¡°You want to kiss me?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m just¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Lu Qinshang had already lowered his head and kissed her lips. Suisui¡¯s face immediately turned red, and she held her breath. She felt her heart beating very quickly, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. Lu Qinshang only kissed her lips and didn¡¯t do anything else. His throat bobbed a few times as he said hoarsely, ¡°How do you know I don¡¯t want to? Isn¡¯t this¡­ taking into ount your pregnancy!¡± To a man, kissing was the beginning of a crime. Once it started, it could not be stopped. Suisui was slightly stunned, and her face turned even redder. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with shyness as she peeked at him and said softly, ¡°The doctor said¡­ it¡¯s fine. It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re gentle.¡± Lu Qinshang¡¯s eyes heated up. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to let it go. Before Suisui could ask why, she heard his low and hoarse voice say, ¡°It¡¯s not good to do it without protection.¡± Suisui became even more embarrassed when she reacted. Just as she was about to turn around and bury her head in the pillow, Lu Qinshang suddenly pinched her chin and said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°But¡­ kissing is still fine.¡± Before Suisui could react, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips affectionately. Lin Qingqian folded all the clothes in the closet and ced them into the cardboard box. It was not only hers, but also Ah Yan¡¯s. From the corner of her eye, she saw the perfume on the bedside table. She walked over, picked it up, and sprayed it in the air twice. When she closed her eyes, her nose was filled with the smell of ebony, and it felt like he was still here. When she slowly opened her eyes, she saw destion and emptiness. ¡°Liar.¡± She looked down at the perfume bottle in her hand and repeated softly, ¡°Ah Yan, you liar.¡± ¡°You miss me so much. How can I note?¡± His voice still echoed in her ears. Everything that had happened was still vivid in her mind. Jiang Yanshen, in the past, every time I said that I missed you, you would rush to my side. But now? Where are you? Do you know¡­ That I really miss you! The sky was slightly bright when Lin Qingqian woke up on the big bed. When she heard amotion, she got up and went out to see Lu Qinshanging out of Suisui¡¯s room. His clothes were wrinkled, and he couldn¡¯t hide the fatigue between his eyebrows. It looked like he had not slept all night. ¡°You¡¯re leaving so early?¡± Lin Qingqian was afraid of waking Suisui up, so she lowered her voice. Lu Qinshang nodded. ¡°I have to start work at seven o¡¯clock!¡± After a pause, he said, ¡®Why are you up so early too?¡± ¡°Work.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t tell him that she hadn¡¯t slept much recently and always woke up easily. ¡°By the way, your matter with Luo Tianxue has blown up so much. Suisui¡¯s parents should know.¡± Lu Qinshang pped his forehead. ¡°How could I forget such an important thing?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s words stopped there. No matter how stupid Lu Qinshang was, he could not possibly mishandle such a small matter. ¡°Don¡¯t drive anymore. I¡¯ll get someone to send you there. Take a nap on the way.¡± Lu Qinshang didn¡¯t stand on ceremony with her. ¡°Alright, please take care of Suisui for a while longer.¡± After filming this drama, he would take a month off from Sister Chan to apany her. Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take good care of her.¡± Lu Qinshang nced at the time. He had to leave. Otherwise, he would not be able to make it in time. After turning around and taking a few steps down the stairs, he thought of something and stopped to turn to look at her. ¡°Although he¡¯s a split personality, I think he¡¯s a living person. He¡¯s flesh and blood. Don¡¯t think that he usually beats me up to vent his anger, but he¡¯s never stood by and watched anything happen to me and Ah Ci. Even if he¡¯s not by your side, you have to live well. Don¡¯t let him worry about you.¡± With that, he waved his hand. ¡°I really have to go. Take care! ¡± He quickly went down the stairs and left. Lin Qingqian stood quietly on the spot and watched him leave. She ced her fingers in front of her. ¡°Of course I¡¯ll be fine. I still have to give birth to our child. ¡± When Suisui woke up, she did not see Lu Qinshang. She rubbed her eyes and went downstairs. ¡°Where¡¯s Big Brother? Qianqian, have you seen Big Brother?¡± ¡°He went back to the set,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Suisui eximed, ¡°So he ran backst night and has to return to the set today.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right. Who asked someone not to answer his calls and not reply to his messages?¡± Suisui lowered her head in repentance. ¡°I¡¯m guilty.¡± ¡°Sinner, eat well.¡± Lin Qingqian pulled out a chair beside her and let her sit down. Suisui nced at the breakfast and sighed helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s so light.¡± ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Crayfish, snail rice noodles, barbecue, roasted pig trotters, and blood curd¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted her. ¡°As a pregnant woman, you have to wake up.¡± Suisui pouted and made a face. She picked up her chopsticks and picked up a cold dish. The next second, she spat it out. ¡°Wow, why is it so sour?¡± Turning around, she saw Lin Qingqian eating it without even frowning. Suisui was stunned. ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t you feel that it¡¯s sour?¡± Chapter 372 - 372: “Director Jiang Said That He’s Returned That Chapter 372: ¡°Director Jiang Said That He¡¯s Returned That Young Man to You. ¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian looked calm. ¡°Is it very sour?¡± Suisui¡¯s face was twisted together. ¡°Of course! It¡¯s so sour!¡± A trace of guilt shed past Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes as she silently retracted her chopsticks. Suisui asked curiously, ¡°Qianqian, are your taste buds damaged?¡± It wasn¡¯t damaged. She was pregnant. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t said that Doggy Jiang was sick and couldn¡¯t have children after taking medicine, I would have thought that you were pregnant. You can eat something so sour.¡± Suisui gave up on the cold dishes. As she drank the porridge, she muttered, ¡°Everyone says that women pregnant with boys like sour food, while women pregnant with girls like spicy food. I want to eat spicy food so much. Could it be that I¡¯m pregnant with a girl?¡± Sour food for boys and spicy food for girls? Lin Qingqian was also guessing in her heart if the child she was carrying was a boy. If it was a boy¡­ what should she call him? The two of them fell into their own little worlds, fantasizing and guessing. Thepany. In just a few days, Song Qin had already familiarized herself with all the businesses and processes andpleted aplete and detailed n. As soon as Lin Qingqian arrived at thepany, she couldn¡¯t wait to send the proposal to the office. She looked calm on the surface, but she was panicking inside! Lin Qingqian carefully read her proposal. Be it for Shi Guang Studio or the sales model of the AIR brand, the promotional activities were done in detail to maximize the benefits while ensuring the quality. As expected of a professional. ¡°You¡¯ve done very well. The future direction of thepany¡¯s operations will follow your n.¡± Song Qin heaved a sigh of relief after being praised. ¡°Thank you, President Lin. I definitely won¡¯t let you down and expand thepany!¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Alright, go and do your work.¡± Song Qin nodded and turned to the door. She hesitated for a moment before turning back to look at her. She wanted to say something but hesitated. From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian saw her hesitating and said softly, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Song Qin bit her lip and took a deep breath. ¡°I received news that Vice President Jiang¡¯s project in Europe has lost 100 million yuan. Director Jiang has already directly removed him from all his positions in the Tianyue Group.¡± A trace of surprise shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes. ¡°He fired Yunshen?¡± Song Qin nodded. Compared to Vice President Jiang, she suddenly felt that she was not so miserable anymore. The outside world did not know this news yet. Only the internal members of Tianyue Group knew. Although she had resigned, she still had contact with the people in thepany, so she learned of this news in advance. ¡°I understand. You can go out first,¡± Lin Qingqian said softly. Seeing that she did not react, Song Qin did not say anything and opened the door to walk out. Lin Qingqian took out her phone and dialed Jiang Yunshen¡¯s number. The dial tone showed that his phone was switched Ott. Her delicate brows were tightly furrowed, and she looked frustrated. *Knock knock! * A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and saw Han Liubai walking in. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked. Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said softly, ¡°He fired Yunshen.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s expression was calm, as if he was not surprised at all. ¡°He¡¯s cleaning up the trusted aides left behind by Jiang Yan.¡± Although they were brothers, Jiang Yanshen was clearly very worried about his younger brother, Jiang Yunshen. Hence, he struck first and removed Jiang Yunshen from his position. This way, even if Jiang Yunshen had shares, he would only be able to benefit from the dividends. He would not be able to interfere in the internal affairs of the Tianyue Group, let alone have the chance to win over the hearts of the people in thepany and form factions. Although Jiang Yunshen had never thought of doing this. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness. ¡°Yunshen doesn¡¯t know about this yet. With his temper, he will definitely go and look for Jiang Xiao Jiu when hees back. I¡¯m worried¡­ Jiang Xiao Jiu would harm Jiang Yunshen. Han Liubaiforted her. ¡°Jiang Yunshen doesn¡¯t have the intention or capital to fight with him. I don¡¯t think he¡¯ll do anything to Jiang Yunshen.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded hesitantly. ¡°I hope so.¡± Tianyue Group, conference room. Jiang Yanshen sat in the chairman¡¯s seat, his back rxed as he leaned against the back of the chair. His slender legs ovepped, and the ballpoint pen on his fingertips spun non-stop. The higher-ups in the meeting room looked at each other, no one daring to speak. Recently, they clearly felt that Director Jiang was different from before. In the past, although Director Jiang looked cold and strict, he never caused trouble for no reason. And the temperamental and sloppy aura of a second-generation heir in front of them made them feel very uneasy. Especially when he said that he would fire Vice President Jiang. That was his brother. If he could be so ruthless to his brother, they didn¡¯t even dare to imagine how he would treat them. Seeing that they were all silent, Jiang Yanshen sneered. ¡°Why are you all so restrained? It¡¯s not like I¡¯ll eat you up¡­¡± As soon as he spoke, everyone felt an inexplicable chill run down their spines. They felt that the knife hanging above their heads was about to fall. ¡°Why did the profits of the hotel under Manager Tong decrease by 1%st month?¡± His sharp eyes shot at Manager Tong. Cold sweat dripped down Manager Tong¡¯s face like rain. ¡°Director Jiang,st month¡­ Without waiting for him to exin, Jiang Yanshen said casually, ¡°Since you don¡¯t have the ability to hold the position of general manager, let a more capable person do it¡­¡± Manager Tong¡¯s eyes widened and he couldn¡¯t help but stand up. ¡°Director Jiang, it was clearly you¡­¡± Jiang Yanshen shot him a malicious look. ¡°I what?¡± A cold voice squeezed out of his throat. It was so cold that Manager Tong¡¯s words were stuck in his throat and he didn¡¯t say them. For a moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was as silent as death. No one dared to breathe loudly. ¡°You¡¯re going too far!¡± Manager Tong took a few deep breaths and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. ¡°You can give the position of general manager to whoever you want. I¡¯m done!¡± With that, he pulled his tie and took off the work pass around his neck, throwing it on the conference table before turning to leave. Jiang Yanshen twirled the pen in his hand and didn¡¯t even look at him. He said coldly, ¡°Be careful on the way out. I won¡¯t send you off.¡± Manager Tong had a second of regret just now. When he heard his words, he decisively opened the meeting room door and was stunned. ¡°Lawyer Zhang.¡± Lawyer Zhang nodded. ¡°Manager Tong, I have something very important to announce. Please return to your seat.¡± Manager Tong was furious. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I¡¯m no longer an employee of Tianyue Group.¡± Lawyer Zhang patted his shoulder. ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated first. If you haven¡¯tpleted the resignation procedures, you¡¯re still an employee of Tianyue Group. Sit down!¡± Manager Tong usually had a good rtionship with Lavvyer Zhang. At this moment, he was persuaded by him and returned to his seat with a sigh. Jiang Yanshen saw Lawyer Zhang and his eyebrows furrowed. His eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°Lawyer Zhang, we¡¯re in a meeting. This is not a ce you shoulde.¡± Lawyer Zhang stood beside him with a document and said respectfully, ¡°Director Jiang, I naturally know that I shouldn¡¯t disturb you at this time. However, as the Chief Lavvyer of the Corporation, I have a very important document to read to everyone.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and stared at him with his ck eyes. ¡°What important document must be read at this time?¡± Lawyer Zhang wasn¡¯t intimidated by his gaze. ¡°It¡¯s very important. I have to read it now.¡± Jiang Yanshen mmed the pen in his hand on the conference table, his brows furrowed in displeasure and impatience. ¡°Read it quickly. Get lost after you¡¯re done.¡± In the face of his bad attitude, Lawyer Zhang did not have any emotions. He calmly opened the document and read it calmly. In Lin Qingqian¡¯s office. ¡°What?¡± Lin Qingqian stood up in surprise, her clear eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Liang Yi ced the document in front of her and said calmly and professionally, ¡°This is the document signed by Mr. Jiang Yanshen. He¡¯d transferred all his shares to President Lin. The document also states that if anything happens to President Lin, the shares in your hands will automatically be handed over to a professional organization to manage and no longer belong to anyone.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and read ten lines at a nce. When she flipped to thest page, she saw the familiar strong words. She was dumbfounded. She slumped back in her chair, still in disbelief. ¡°Why? Why did you do this?¡± Liang Yi looked at her unbelievable expression. It was the same reaction he had when he heard Director Jiang¡¯s words, but he restrained himself at that time. ¡°Right now, Director Jiang is only the Executive President of Tianyue Group. He has no right to interfere with the internal adjustments and personnel changes of the Corporation.¡± What he meant was that Jiang Yanshen was now an employee, and Lin Qingqian was thergest shareholder of Tianyue Group and also the chairwoman. It was not only Lin Qingqian who was surprised, but also Han Liubai. His gentle eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at Lin Qingqian¡­ Whether it was in terms of benefits or marriage. Liang Yi handed her another document. ¡°This is the transfer of assets signed by Director Jiang. Other than the Jiang residence, the private clubhouses, funds, stocks, and a few properties overseas, everything else has been transferred to President Lin¡¯s name, including Begonia Courtyard. I¡¯ve alreadypleted the procedures.¡± Lin Qingqian looked at the thick document that Liang Yi handed over. Not only was there information on the assets, but there was also a real estate certificate, keys, and so on. Lin Qingqian, who thought that she could already ept the fact that he was no longer around, felt her heart ache again. How much have you done behind my back? How much more are you hiding from me! ! Her nails dug into her flesh as she tried her best to suppress the pain in her heart. She looked up at him and bit her lip. Her voice was hoarse. ¡°He¡­ what else did he say?¡± Liang Yi: ¡°Director Jiang said that he¡¯s returned that young man to you.¡± This concise sentence was like a knife that stabbed fiercely into Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart, simply killing her. ¡°Get out!¡± Lin Qingqian tried her best to suppress her emotions and not lose control in front of them. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back first. President Lin, you can contact me directly if you need anything.¡± Liang Yi nodded and turned to leave. Han Liubai nced at her worriedly. Lin Qingqian lowered her head and her voice squeezed out from her throat. ¡°Xiao Bai, I want to be alone for a while.¡± ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± Han Liubai turned around and left. When he closed the door, he took a deep look at Lin Qingqian, whose shoulders were trembling. A bitter smile appeared on her lips¡­ Jiang Yan, you win!! Chapter 373 - 373: Lin Qjngqian, How Dare You Threaten Me? Chapter 373 - 373: Lin Qjngqian, How Dare You Threaten Me? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions After the office door closed, the tears that Lin Qingqian had suppressed in her eyes suddenly surged and hung on her face. I¡¯ve returned that young man to you. Is this the gift you¡¯re going to give me? Didn¡¯t you not understand love? Didn¡¯t you not have feelings? Why did you do so much for me? Ah Yan, what are you thinking?
What exactly do you want me to do? The meeting room of Tianyue Group was as silent as death. Everyone stared at the man sitting in the chairman¡¯s seat as if they had seen a ghost. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s grip on the table tightened involuntarily, and the veins on his face began to bulge. In the next second, he stood up without any warning and pushed all the documents to the ground. ¡°It¡¯s fake! This is all fake. This is impossible!!¡± He roared angrily. You also assured us that you were not coerced or forced in any way to do this. Now, you¡¯ll only remain as the Executive President of Tianyue Group. However, you don¡¯t have the right to remove employees from their position in the Corporation, especially when it involves the senior executives. You have to obtain President Lin¡¯s approval.¡± With that, he nced at Manager Tong. Manager Tong, who was still in hell just now, suddenly felt as if he¡¯d returned to heaven. No wonder Lawyer Zhang did not let him leave. It turned out that Director Jiang had no right to revoke his position at all!! But why did he transfer all his shares to Lin Qingqian? There were also other higher-ups who had the same thoughts. A thought appeared in their minds at the same time: Director Jiang, are you crazy? ¡°Get lost!¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his head and red at them. ¡°All of you, get out!¡± Lawyer Zhang put away the documents he had brought and bowed slightly before turning to leave the conference room. The other higher-ups immediately fled the hell-like conference room. Lu Yuan had just taken a step when he was pulled back and pressed against the wall. Jiang Yan¡¯s deep eyes were red, as if he wanted to kill someone. ¡°Did you know about this long ago? Did that piece of trash ask you to stay by my side and monitor me?¡± Lu Yuan lowered his eyes and said respectfully, ¡°Director Jiang, I really didn¡¯t know about this. If I had known earlier, I would have told you.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s angry eyes seemed to be able to spew fire. He stared fixedly at him and shook him off a momentter. ¡°Scram!¡± Lu Yuan lowered his head and quickly left. Jiang Yanshen kicked the swivel chair over, his chest heaving with anger. ¡°Good, very good¡­ Jiang Yan, you piece of trash¡­ You actually dare to trick me!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make this woman suffer as much as you care about her!¡± With that, he walked out of the meeting room like a shooting star. ¡°Director Jiang, you can¡¯t go in¡­ Director Jiang¡­ When Lin Qingqian heard Su Ying¡¯s anxious voice, she looked up and saw Jiang Yanshen rushing in angrily. ¡°Sister Qingqian¡­¡± Su Ying looked at her guiltily. She couldn¡¯t stop Director Jiang. Lin Qingqian held her breath when she saw his face. After a few seconds of silence, she said calmly, ¡°Go back to work first.¡± Su Ying nodded and went out. Jiang Yanshen walked to the desk and stared at her with his dark eyes. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you¡¯re really capable!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s face was slightly pale and her expression was very calm. She said indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about.¡± ¡°Stop f*cking pretending. That Liang guy has already told you!¡± Jiang Yanshen mmed his hands on the table fiercely, his eyes like des. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°If you know your ce, return the shares to me. Otherwise¡ª¡± His sinister voice paused. He did not say the rest, but the warning was very clear. Lin Qingqian looked up at him as if she wanted to eat him up. Her red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, do you know how detestable you look now? ¡°Lin Qingqian!¡± Jiang Yanshen raised his voice and said angrily, ¡°You¡¯d better not test my patience.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give these words to you too!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with coldness as she said unhurriedly, ¡°Now that I¡¯m thergest shareholder and chairman of Tianyue Group, as an Executive President, you¡¯d better pay attention to your attitude when talking to me. Otherwise, I can fire you at any time!¡± Jiang Yan took a deep breath and walked around the desk to stand in front of her. He grabbed her slender wrist and dragged her up forcefully. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you dare to threaten me?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm hurt from his grip. She frowned slightly and asked calmly, ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, you pride yourself on being smart and yed with everyone, but this time, you were tricked by your own split personality.¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and the light in her eyes was filled with mockery. ¡°How does it feel?¡± Jiang Yanshen gritted his teeth and pushed hard. Lin Qingqian staggered and fell onto a chair, her hand subconsciously moved to protect her stomach. ¡°Very good, let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Jiang Yanshen squeezed this sentence out of his throat and turned to leave. Lin Qingqian sat on the chair, her heart beating very quickly. The hand on her stomach involuntarily grabbed her clothes. Although Liang Yi had told her in advance and guessed that Jiang Xiao Jiu woulde to look for her, she did not expect him to be so agitated. She really did not dare to imagine what would happen if he found out that she was pregnant. This was a gift from Ah Yan. No matter what, she had to give birth to him safely. Jiang Yunshen had flown back angrily to look for Jiang Yanshen, but as soon as he got off the ne, he was kidnapped. Along the way, his hands were tied and his head was covered with a ck hood. He did not know anything. It was not until he was brought into the house and had his hood taken off that he saw the woman sitting on the sofa clearly. His eyes were about to fall out. ¡°S-Sister-inw¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen felt that the entire world was a fantasy. ¡°You, why did you kidnap me?¡± Lin Qingqian was sitting on the sofa with a bag of plums in her hand. She picked one and ced it in her mouth before there was a hint of taste in her dry mouth. ¡°Chen Mu.¡± She gave Chen Mu a look. Chen Mu understood and untied the rope that bound Jiang Yunshen before leaving. As Jiang Yunshen rubbed his wrist that was bruised by the rope, he said, ¡°Sister-inw, Big Brother wants to fire me, and you kidnapped me. What exactly do the two of you want? What did I do wrong?¡± Lin Qingqian did not answer him. She picked up her phone and sent a voice message. ¡°You¡¯re not here yet?¡± ¡°Five more minutes,¡± a woman¡¯spetent voice said over the voice chat. Jiang Yunshen: Was he invisible? Could Sister-inw not see or hear him? ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to say it. I¡¯ll go look for Big Brother!¡± Jiang Yunshen turned around and took two steps when a woman¡¯s gentle voice came from behind. ¡°If you dare to walk out of this door, I¡¯ll get Chen Mu to break your legs.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned around and stared at her in disbelief!! Lin Qingqian lowered her head and swiped her cell phone, not looking at him. Jiang Yunshen stood rooted to the ground, neither walking nor sitting. He could only stare. After a few minutes, the doorbell interrupted the silence. Lin Qingqian nced at him. ¡°Go and open the door.¡± Jiang Yunshen snorted and turned to open the door. When he saw a young and beautiful woman walking in, he frowned. ¡°Who are you?¡± The woman didn¡¯t answer him. Instead, she looked at Lin Qingqian, who was sitting on the sofa. ¡°Miss Lin.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at her and said softly, ¡°Tell him the situation.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned around, his eyes filled with suspicion. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± ¡°Hello, Second Young Master Jiang. I¡¯m Shen Zhiwei.¡± Shen Zhiwei introduced herself neatly. ¡°I¡¯m Jiang Yanshen¡¯s previous psychiatrist.¡± ¡°Big Brother¡¯s psychiatrist?¡± Jiang Yunshen was even more confused. ¡°To be precise, I¡¯m Jiang Yan¡¯s psychiatrist,¡± Shen Zhiwei added. He was even more confused. Ten minutester, Jiang Yunshen sat on the sofa in a daze, his face filled with words: Who am I, where am I? What am I going to do? Shen Zhi said gently, ¡°That¡¯s what happened. The current Jiang Yanshen is your big brother, but he¡¯s not the same as the previous Jiang Yan. They¡¯re twopletely different people.¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Jiang Yunshen frowned and looked at Shen Zhiwei suspiciously. ¡°You¡¯re saying that my brother is mentally ill? Pfft! You¡¯re the one who¡¯s mentally ill. Your entire family is mentally ill!¡± . I¡¯m so angry, but I still have to maintain a smile. Lin Qingqian had already eaten half a bag of plums. Her teeth started to ache, and she silently put it down. ¡°What Shen Zhiwei said is true.¡± ¡°Sister-inw!¡± Jiang Yunshen turned to look at her. ¡°Why do you believe this woman¡¯s nonsense! What psychiatrist? I think she¡¯s a chatan!¡± Shen Zhiwei: ¡® . Damn child, he really deserves a beating! ¡°Yunshen!¡± Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and said in a serious tone, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to speak to Doctor Shen like this.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned his head to the side, his young and handsome face filled with arrogance. ¡°The current Jiang Yanshen is no longer the Jiang Yanshen of the past. Don¡¯t speak nonsense in front of him, and don¡¯t provoke him,¡± Lin Qingqian reminded him. ¡°As for your position as Vice President, it won¡¯t change.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Jiang Yunshen said firmly, ¡°You must be lying to me! I won¡¯t fall for it!¡± With that, he turned around and left. ¡°Second Young Master Jiang¡­¡± Shen Zhiwei stood up and wanted to call out to him, but Jiang Yunshen did not even turn around. ¡°Forget it¡­¡± Lin Qingqian looked at his back view, her eyes filled with helplessness. ¡°It¡¯s good to let him see it with his own eyes.¡± She had already instructed him in advance to not let Jiang Xiao Jiu hurt him. She told him in advance because she hoped that he would be mentally prepared. Shen Zhiwei turned to look at her sorrowful eyes and hesitated. ¡°Miss Lin, you Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and met her worried gaze. She squeezed out a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°If there¡¯s anything you feel troubled about, feel free to look for me.¡¯ In any case, Jiang Yan had given her arge sum of money in advance. It was enough for Lin Qingqian¡¯s consultation fees for the rest of her life. Lin Qingqian looked up at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, ¡°Can you tell me¡­ about Ah Yan?¡± Other than Shen Zhiwei, she did not know who to talk to about Ah Yan. Lu Qinshang, Gu Xici, and the others couldn¡¯t understand the real Jiang Yan very well. If she talked to Suisui, she was afraid that she would be worried. After thinking about it, the only person in this world who could talk to her about him was Shen Zhiwei. Shen Zhiwei hesitated for a moment before sitting down again and saying calmly, ¡°He¡¯s the most uncooperative patient I¡¯ve ever met, but he¡¯s also the kindest patient. ¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes trembled slightly as she listened to her intently, afraid that she would miss a word. ¡°Miss Lin, actually, I don¡¯t know him very well. As a split personality, he has emotional disorders. He¡¯s naturally cold and emotionless, but he always asks me what emotions are..¡± Chapter 374 - 374: Untitled Chapter 374 - 374: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°When you proposed a divorce back then, he suspected that you had a split personality too. Otherwise, why would you suddenly be so cold to him? It was as if you were a different person. He even stole the keys to your apartment and entered your room to peek at you. After seeing you sleeping, he confirmed that you didn¡¯t have a split personality. Actually, I¡¯m still not sure if he has human instincts, but I know that he treats you¡­ differently from before.¡± Some of the things Shen Zhiwei said were very scattered and detailed. She said whatever she thought of. Lin Qingqian listened very seriously, her eyes burning, but she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face. So it was not a dream that she felt someone rubbing her feet beside her bed those few days. It was really him¡­
Jiang Yunshen found Jiang Yanshen in the private room of 1942. Ever since he regained control of his body, Jiang Yanshen had especially liked to drink. He drank almost every day. Sometimes, he was slightly drunk, and sometimes, he was carried back to the Jiang residence by Fang Wu. At this moment, Jiang Yanshen was clearly in a bad mood from being tricked by Jiang Yan. He had already drunk a bottle of whiskey and was drinking a second bottle. When Jiang Yunshen saw him and Lu Yuan standing beside him, he did not hold it in and asked bluntly, ¡°Brother, why? Why did you ask Lu Yuan to set a trap for me? You were the one who asked me to do that project¡­¡± Now that they had lost 100 million yuan, they were asking him to take responsibility. This was simply digging a hole for him to jump into. When Lu Yuan heard this, he only looked up and continued to lower his head without saying anything. Jiang Yanshen leanedzily on the sofa, holding the wine ss in his hand and drinking it in one gulp. During the process, he stared at him with a sinister gaze. ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly smashed the cup at his feet. ss shards sttered everywhere, scaring Jiang Yunshen so much that he took a step back and looked at him in disbelief. ¡°Get lost!¡± After saying a word, he picked up the wine bottle and continued drinking. Jiang Yunshen watched as he drank like water and was stunned. The way he looked at him was extremely unfamiliar. Big Brother had never drunk like this. He also did not smoke¡­ ¡°Y-you¡¯re not Big Brother!¡± Jiang Yunshen finally began to believe Lin Qingqian and Shen Zhiwei¡¯s words. Although the person in front of him looked exactly like his big brother, he was no longer his big brother. ¡°Of course I¡¯m not your big brother!¡± Jiang Yanshen put down the wine bottle, got up, and staggered in front of him. He grabbed his cor and said in a dark voice, ¡°You¡¯re the son of a murderer. Are you worthy of being my brother?¡± Jiang Yunshen took a deep breath and his eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°What¡­ what did you say?¡± Whether it was Jiang Chongjing, Wu Suyun, Old Madam Jiang, or Jiang Yan, in order to protect Jiang Yunshen, they had never told him the cause of Jiang Chongyan¡¯s death. Therefore, he never knew that it was his father who killed Jiang Yanshen¡¯s father. Jiang Yanshen swung his hand fiercely, and Jiang Yunshen fell to the ground, caught off guard. He was still staring at him in surprise. ¡°It was your father who killed my father. Your family forced me to be like this.¡± His eyes were filled with red threads as he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I originally hoped that that piece of trash could help me get rid of you. I didn¡¯t expect¡­ I didn¡¯t expect him to be so useless. He couldn¡¯t get rid of Jiang Chongjing and even ced you in Tianyue Group¡­ Are you worthy?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked Jiang Yunshen¡¯s abdomen¡­ Chapter 375 - 375: Those Years Were In Vain Chapter 375: Those Years Were In Vain Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face turned pale from the pain and he broke out in cold sweat. Just as Jiang Yanshen was about to kick her a second time, the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open. A figure rushed over and kicked his hand away. ¡°Sir!¡± Fang Wu¡¯s voice followed. He looked at Chen Mu with his eagle eyes, and the atmosphere immediately became tense. Chen Mu didn¡¯t look at them. Instead, he bent down and helped Jiang Yunshen up. His voice was calm. ¡°Second Young Master, Madam asked me to bring you back.¡± Jiang Yunshen stood up with difficulty and pressed his hand on his abdomen. He looked at Jiang Yanshen with aplicated and sorrowful gaze¡­ It was clearly the same person, but it was not the same person anymore. Chen Mu supported him and was about to walk out when Fang Wu stopped them. Jiang Yanshen frowned and waved his hand to signal Fang Wu to move aside. His malicious eyes stared at their backs as he gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Tell Lin Qingqian that it¡¯s best if she returns the shares to me. Otherwise, I have ways to make her regret it.¡± When Chen Mu brought Jiang Yunshen back to Begonia Courtyard, Shen Zhiwei had already left. Lin Qingqian stood in front of the French window and looked at the moonlight outside. Her expression was dark, as if she was thinking about something. Jiang Yunshen copsed on the sofa, looking miserable and dejected. Lin Qingqian nced at him and walked to the coffee table to open the medicine box she had prepared in advance. ¡°Where are you hurt?¡± Jiang Yunshen lowered his head and slowly looked up at her. After hesitating for a moment, he squeezed out a bitter voice. ¡°Is what he said true?¡± Lin Qingqian remained silent as a tense voice sounded in her ears. ¡°It was my father who caused Uncle¡¯s death?!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s grip on the medicine bottle tightened involuntarily as she nodded slowly. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s clenched fists had nowhere to vent his anger and grief, so he could only punch the sofa. ¡°How could this be? Why didn¡¯t you tell me anything¡­ Why!¡± Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and said indifferently, ¡°They all love you very much.¡± Jiang Yunshen stopped in his tracks and looked up at her with red eyes without saying anything. His eyes shed with shame. Lin Qingqian looked away and didn¡¯t meet his eyes. Her slender fingers lifted his shirt and she saw a bruise on his abdomen. ¡°He kicked you?¡± Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian sprayed the medicine on her palm and rubbed it on his bruise. Her strength was a little powerful. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s face was covered in sweat from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and remained silent. ¡°Ah Yan has already transferred all the shares of Tianyue Group to me. I¡¯m thergest shareholder and chairwoman of Tianyue Group now.¡± Lin Qingqian rubbed his bruises and said, ¡°Come with me to Tianyue Group tomorrow.¡± Jiang Yunshen squeezed out a sneer from his throat and said self-deprecatingly, ¡°How can I still have the face to go to Tianyue Group now? Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and nced at him. Her voice was slightly cold. ¡®Jiang Yunshen, listen carefully. Jiang Chongjing is Jiang Chongjing, and you are you. Just because Jiang Chongjing owes Jiang Yanshen a lot doesn¡¯t mean that you owe him. Moreover¡ª¡± Her voice paused and she took a deep breath. When her voice sounded again, there was a hint of certainty. ¡°He¡¯s no longer the Jiang Yanshen of the past. He¡¯s not worthy of your admiration and support. Do you understand?¡± ¡°But he¡¯s my big brother,¡± Jiang Yunshen said in a low voice. ¡°The person now is my big brother.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes stared at him without blinking. ¡°Why do you admire Jiang Yanshen so much?¡± Jiang Yunshen thought of something and his throat tightened. He hesitated for a moment before saying in a low voice, ¡°When I was young, I was in Africa with my parents. Later on, in order to let me study, they sent me back. Because I was too tanned there, my ssmates mocked and bullied me. It was Big Brother who beat those people up. From then on, no one dared to mock me.¡± From then on, he secretly swore to follow his big brother¡¯s lead in this life. He would do whatever his big brother said and never question his big brother. ¡°Do you think the current Jiang Yanshen looks like someone who will stand up for you?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s casual words hit the nail on the head. Jiang Yunshen fell silent. Today, Jiang Yanshen only looked at him with hatred and resentment. ¡°He fired you and Song Qin and clearly wants to pull out Ah Yan¡¯s trusted aides in thepany,¡± Lin Qingqian said calmly. ¡°He can¡¯t tolerate Ah Yan¡¯s people, nor can he tolerate you. Do you think such a narrow-minded person who doesn¡¯t care about his siblings can hold onto Tianyue Group?¡± Jiang Yunshen still did not say anything, but he understood Lin Qingqian¡¯s words. Lin Qingqian rubbed her sore wrist and threw the medicine bottle to him. ¡°Rub it yourself.¡± She stood up and walked to the side to sit down. As she wiped her hands with a wet towel, she said, ¡°I want you to continue staying in Tianyue Group. Ah Yan¡¯s hard work can¡¯t be ruined in his hands.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen turned to look at her, his voice difficult. ¡°If Big Brother can¡¯te back anymore. Are we going to be like this for the rest of our lives? ¡® Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes dimmed. After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about the futureter. Let¡¯s do the current thing well first.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s grip on the medicine bottle tightened continuously, and his veins bulged. His heart ached, and he felt more helpless. ¡°Don¡¯t go back to the Jiang residence. Begonia Courtyard is also under my name now. You can stay in your previous room.¡± With that, Lin Qingqian stood up and wanted to go upstairs. Jiang Yunshen looked up and asked curiously, ¡°Why did he give you everything?¡± Subtext: What about mine? Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks when she reached the stairs. She turned her head to look at him and blinked. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t give it to me, should he give it to you?¡± Why didn¡¯t this brat have some self awareness? Jiang Yunshen: ¡® He¡¯d given his love in vain for all these years. The next day, Lin Qingqian brought Jiang Yunshen to Tianyue Group with Song Qin. The higher-ups in the meeting room of Tianyue Group looked at Lin Qingqian as if she was their family. They wished they could hug her and cry. Jiang Yanshen sat in the chairman¡¯s seat. He was hungover fromst night and didn¡¯t look too good. When he saw her walk in, his dark eyes couldn¡¯t help but darken Seeing that he had no intention of moving from his chair, Lin Qingqian¡¯s porcin-white fingers bent slightly and knocked twice on the smooth conference table. Jiang Yanshen looked up at her and a gentle voice sounded in his ear. ¡°You¡¯re in my seat.¡± Rather than calling it a kind reminder, it was more like a humiliation, a public humiliation for him! Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression was tense as he stared at her with eyes that were sharper than des. However, Lin Qingqian acted as if she did not know. Her red lips held a faint smile as she looked at him quietly, with no intention of backing down. The atmosphere in the conference room fell into a tense and dangerous state. The higher-ups did not even dare to breathe loudly as they held their breaths and watched this scene. The meeting room was extremely quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. In the end, Jiang Yanshen stood up and sent the chair flying a meter away. He turned around and walked to the seat beside him to sit down casually. He kept staring at her with his devilish eyes. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and turned to look at Song Qin. Song Qin quickly pushed the chair over and said respectfully, ¡°Chairwoman Lin, please sit.¡± With that, she even looked provocatively at Lu Yuan, who was standing behind Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian sat down and nced around. Most of them were unfamiliar faces, but it didn¡¯t matter. She didn¡¯t really intend to interfere in the matters of Tianyue Group. She was here today mainly to support Jiang Yunshen. ¡°I believe everyone already knows that I¡¯m thergest shareholder of the Tianyue Group and the chairwoman. As for who I am, there¡¯s no need for introductions.¡± Manager Tong was the first to speak. ¡°President Lin, no, Chairwoman Lin. Hello, I¡¯m Tong Zhen, the person-in-charge of the hotel under Tianyue Group.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded at him as a greeting, and her gentle voice continued, ¡°Today, I¡¯m mainly here to announce two things to everyone. Firstly, although I¡¯m the chairwoman, I won¡¯t interfere in the internal affairs of the Corporation. The future development of the Corporation will still follow the ns and directions formted by the various departments, unless there¡¯s a major strategic cooperation or project that has to be approved by me.¡± She paused and nced around. When her voice sounded again, it was filled with authority. ¡°Secondly, Mr. Jiang Yunshen will continue to be the Vice-president of Tianyue Group. I hope everyone will cooperate and assist him in the future. In addition, the transfer of the internal managers and above must be approved by me. Otherwise, it will be considered invalid.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yanshen beside her. ¡°Director Jiang, do you have any objections to this?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips moved as he squeezed out a word. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Very good.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and stood up. ¡°I¡¯m done talking. Please continue working.¡± Manager Tong stood up and apuded. His wife was right. Every sessful man had a sessful woman behind him. He did not expect Director Jiang to have such a sessful woman behind him. He stole a nce at the gloomy man and sighed silently. He suddenly felt that Director Jiang was not worthy of her. If it was the old Director Jiang¡­ Damn, if it was the old Director Jiang, he wouldn¡¯t have caused so much trouble. The other higher-ups also stood up and apuded. They were excited. They did not have to worry about being fired at any time and could work in peace. Lin Qingqian looked at Jiang Yunshen and instructed gently, ¡®Work hard.¡± Jiang Yunshen knew what she meant. He nced at the man ring at him and nodded. ¡°Got it.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t seem to feel the sharp gaze behind her as she led Song Qin out of the meeting room. Song Qin pressed the elevator button and couldn¡¯t help but mutter softly, ¡°To think that Director Jiang thought so highly of Lu Yuan in the past. I didn¡¯t expect him to change sides the moment Director Jiang was gone!¡± From the corner of her eye, Lin Qingqian saw the man walking out of the meeting room. Her voice was indifferent. ¡°Everyone has their own ambitions.¡± ¡°But he doesn¡¯t have any backbone or sense of right and wrong!¡± Song Qin said indignantly, ¡°If he follows this bad and stupid Director Jiang, something will happen sooner orter¡­¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± A cold voice sounded, scaring Song Qin. Seeing Jiang Yanshen and Lu Yuane out at some point, she moved behind Lin Qingqian without any backbone. ¡°Nothing.¡± Lin Qingqian replied indifferently. Jiang Yanshen narrowed his ck eyes. With a ding, the elevator stopped. He suddenly grabbed Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand, and entered the elevator¡­ Song Qin was shocked and wanted to chase after them, but she was pulled out by Lu Yuan. ¡°You, what are you doing? B*stard!¡± Song Qin turned her head and punched and kicked him without caring about her image.. Chapter 376 - 376: Qianqian, Can You Agree To Me? Chapter 376: Qianqian, Can You Agree To Me? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lu Yuan¡¯s leg was kicked a few times by her, and he frowned in pain. Seeing that the elevator was descending, he let go. It was toote for Song Qin to press the elevator button anxiously. She said angrily, ¡°Lu Yuan, you bastard. How can you let Director Jiang in with her like this?¡± Lu Yuan bent down and rubbed his leg that she had kicked. He frowned and said angrily, ¡°The man now is also Director Jiang.¡± ¡°Jiang your head!¡± Song Qin shouted at him angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what kind of dog this is now? What if he wants to do something to President Lin? If he hurts President Lin¡­ I¡¯ll kill you!¡± A trace of gloom shed across Lu Yuan¡¯s eyes. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out two words without much confidence. ¡°He won¡¯t.¡± Song Qin couldn¡¯t be bothered to talk nonsense with him and kept pressing the elevator button¡­ In the elevator. Lin Qingqian was pressed against the cold and hard wall by him. His face was very close, and his warm breath sprayed on her face. It was not a seductive numbness, but a chill that surged from the bottom of her heart. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s well-defined fingersnded on her cheek, and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°What do you think?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the surveince cameras above the elevator. Before she could speak, she heard his low and cold voice¡ª ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have the habit of performing in public, but¡ª¡± He paused, and the smile on his lips gradually became cold and charming. ¡°I¡¯m very curious about your expression if you see me use this body to sleep with another woman.¡± Jiang Yanshen caught the change in her eyes, and the smile on his lips deepened. He threw out the bait and said, ¡°Lin Qingqian, why don¡¯t we make a deal? Give me the shares and I can continue to pretend to be Jiang Yan. I¡¯ll treat you the same way he treats you usually. How about that?¡± He looked at her with a devilish gaze, his eyes vaguely filled with anticipation. This was the first time he had lowered his head to ask for peace with someone. Lin Qingqian looked at his facial features that were so close to her. She was not as moved as when she first saw him, let alone feel the admiration that surged from her heart when she faced Ah Yan. ¡°You know how to pretend to be Ah Yan?¡± Her red lips curled up slightly, and her voice was very soft. His lips curled into a smile. ¡°At least in front of you. At the end of the day, he¡¯s a split personality of mine. No one in this world knows him better than me. I can let you see him every day, as if he¡¯s never disappeared.¡± His dry and rolling fingers lingered on her soft lips. He said in a low and hoarse voice, ¡°Qianqian, agree to me, okay?¡± Because he was the same person to begin with, his voice would not be very different. At this moment, he deliberately imitated Jiang Yan¡¯s tone, and for a moment, Lin Qingqian was in a daze. Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes shed with sess. He lowered his head and his lips were about tond on hers¡­ A millimeter away, Lin Qingqian turned her head to avoid it. His lipsnded on her cheek, and his cold brows couldn¡¯t help but frown. His dark eyes were filled with coldness. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, no matter how well you pretend, you¡¯re not him.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Yanshen finally lost control of the emotions he tried his best to suppress. He pinched her chin and questioned angrily, ¡°Why are all of you protecting him? What¡¯s so good about him? He¡¯s just a split personality¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s kinder than you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm tone was unhurried. ¡°He won¡¯t do those dirty things. He won¡¯t hurt his biological mother and brother.¡± ¡°Heh!¡± An extremely disdainful sneer squeezed out of his throat. ¡°Lin Qingqian, you said that I¡¯m dirty. Do you think that Jiang Yan is a gentleman? In order to pretend to be a normal person, he put on an act in front of you. He used his bipr disorder and personality disorder to trick your sympathy. In the end, he transferred all his shares and assets to you to restrain me¡­ ¡°Do you think he did it for Jiang Yunshen or the olddy? Or for you? No. He did it for himself! ¡°Even if he wants toe back, I won¡¯t give him this chance! I¡¯m the owner of this body. He¡¯s just a dog, and he wants to bite his master¡¯s hand!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing paused, and surprise shed across her clear eyes. ¡°You, what did you say? He¡­ can stille back?¡± ¡°He can¡¯te back!¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips held a devilish smile as he said in a cold voice, ¡°The split personality doesn¡¯t have the advantage to begin with. Coupled with Professor Morse treating me, even if I die, he won¡¯te back.¡± The spark of hope in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes was instantly extinguished, and her eyes were dead silent. Jiang Yanshen pinched her chin and forced her to look into his eyes. He did not give up and said, ¡°Lin Qingqian, I¡¯ll give you another chance. Give me the shares obediently. If you don¡¯t want me to touch someone, I can choose not to touch them, and I won¡¯t look for other women. I¡¯ll let you continue to be Madam Jiang, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned in pain, and the skin under her chin turned red. Her dim eyes were filled with certainty. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, I won¡¯t and can¡¯t be with you.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Anger burned in Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. Without thinking, he lowered his head and kissed her soft and delicious red lips. Lin Qingqian frowned and tried to push him away, but the difference in strength was too great. Their lips and teeth intertwined. It was more like violence than a kiss. He was so ruthless that he seemed to want to pull out her tongue. The pain made tears seep out of the corners of her eyes. The unfamiliar aura made her feel very disgusted. There was a hand stirring in her stomach, making her feel faintly nauseous. Jiang Yanshen seemed to have nailed her to the wall. He only relied on his instincts to destroy her red lips. He stopped when he tasted a hint of iron on the tip of his tongue¡­ She suddenly turned her head and vomited. Jiang Yanshen felt as if he had been hit in the head. His expression was extremely ugly. Not only did he let go of her hand, but he also took a step back¡­ Lin Qingqian bent down and vomited. She did not see the ruthlessness and fleeting hurt in his dark eyes. Jiang Yanshen clenched his fists tightly by his side, his dark eyes staring at her without saying a word. The air was filled with an unpleasant smell and it was as silent as death. Ding! The silver elevator door slowly opened. Jiang Yanshen turned around and strode out¡­ Lin Qingqian finally stopped vomiting and turned around to see his tall figure disappear from her sight. She held the elevator door with both hands and walked out, heaving a sigh of relief.. Mini saw her leaning against the wall with a pale face and hurriedly walked over to ask with concern, ¡°Miss Lin, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Mini supported her. ¡°Let me help you over there to sit for a while.¡± Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and nodded. When she walked, she nced at the elevator. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for dirtying the elevator.¡± Mini said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll get the cleaning staff to clean it up.¡± Lin Qingqian sat in the resting area of the hall. After Mini informed the cleaners, she poured a ss of warm water and sent it over. ¡°Miss Lin, are you really alright?¡± Mini asked worriedly. ¡°I¡¯m fine, thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand that was holding the cup trembled involuntarily. Mini: ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to work.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. She lowered her eyes and felt that her heart was still beating violently, and there was a faint pain in her abdomen. ¡°President Lin¡­¡± Song Qin came down from another elevator and ran over in her high heels. Seeing that her face was pale and her eyes were red, she was instantly angry. ¡°Did he bully you? That damn bastard¡­¡± Song Qin was so angry that she wanted to settle the score with someone! Lin Qingqian reached out to hold her hand and forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Let¡¯s go back.¡± Song Qin hesitated for a moment before dispelling the thought of settling scores. She helped her stand up and wanted to leave. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lu Yuan following her out of the elevator. He said breathlessly, ¡°President Lin, wait a moment.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw her bend down to take off her high heels and smash them urately at Lu Yuan¡¯s face. Lu Yuan dodged the first high heel but didn¡¯t dodge the second. The edge of the high heels brushed past his face like a Imife. ¡°Song Qin, are you crazy?¡± Lu Yuan was also angry. She didn¡¯t know the rules of the martial arts world! Song Qin did not say anything and red at him fiercely. She supported Lin Qingqian and said, ¡°President Lin, let¡¯s go.¡± Lin Qingqian did not expect Song Qin, who usually liked to cry, to have such a fierce side. A warmth surged in her cold heart. Lu Yuan touched his cheek and his fingertips were stained with bright red blood. He couldn¡¯t help but curse softly, ¡°Song Qin, you¡¯re a strange and violent person. You deserve to be unable to get married in this life¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, Song Qin turned her head and shot him a sharp look. His voice stopped abruptly. Lu Yuan touched his cheek, angry and aggrieved. F*ck, who did I offend!! Song Qin helped Lin Qingqian into the car and handed her a bottle of mineral water. Lin Qingqian thanked her and took a sip of water to rinse her mouth before throwing it into the small trash can in the carriage. Song Qin sat at the side with red eyes and looked at her¡­ Lin Qingqian: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you sad because of Lu Yuan¡¯s words? It¡¯s alright, I¡¯ll introduce you to a good man in the future.¡± Song Qin shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t care what that Lu Yuan says! My heart aches for President Lin¡­ A trace of surprise shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. Before she could ask, she heard her muffled voice say, ¡°If the old Director Jiang still sees you like this, his heart will ache.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s heart seemed to have been hammered by something, and it hurt. After a moment of silence, her voice sounded slightly bitter. ¡°Do you think he loves me?¡± Song Qin blinked and nodded without thinking. ¡°Of course! How can Director Jiang not love you?!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think he¡¯s pretending to love me?¡± Lin Qingqian asked again. ¡°This¡­¡± Song Qin was a little hesitant. She thought for a moment and said, ¡°Although split personalities don¡¯t have emotions, he¡¯s still a human. How can humans not have emotions?¡± Seeming to have thought of something, she looked up at Lin Qingqian.. ¡°Moreover, if a person loves you, even if they can lie to others, can they lie to you?!¡± Chapter 377 - 377: Untitled Chapter 377 - 377: Untitled Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Something quickly shed across Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes as she slowly turned her head to look at the scenery outside the window that kept retreating. Her red lips curved. ¡°That¡¯s right. He can lie to others, but how can he lie to me?¡± Therefore, how could I shake my faith in him just because of Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s words? Song Qin returned to thepany, and Lin Qingqian received a call from Suisui and rushed to the Yan Family. As soon as she entered, she saw Suisui¡¯s parents and Lu Yan sitting upright. The atmosphere was quite strange. Suisui lowered her voice and said in her ear, ¡°My parents saw the news on the Inte, and Big Brother called his father over.¡±
Lin Qingqian raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Hasn¡¯t it been a few days since the news about him and Luo Tianxue?¡± Suisui shrugged innocently. ¡°My parents don¡¯t go online often. The inte at home was just set up.¡± Lin Qingqian: Lu Ting said with an ashamed expression, ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. I didn¡¯t teach my son well and caused such an embarrassing matter. I¡¯m really ashamed.¡± Father Yan kept a straight face and did not say anything. ¡°I¡¯ll call that unfilial son back now and ask him to leave the entertainment industry immediately and take over thepany!¡± Lu Ting said as he took out his phone. Suisui immediately held her breath and looked at her mother for help. After Mother Yan received the message, she coughed lightly and said unhurriedly, ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no need to make him leave the entertainment industry. It¡¯s not that serious. Since it¡¯s a misunderstanding, just exin it clearly and be more careful in the future. After all, they¡¯re going to get married. He has to be more careful with his words and actions.¡± Lu Ting immediately nodded. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Inw is right. I didn¡¯t teach my son well. I¡¯ve embarrassed myself¡­¡± He took the opportunity to put down his cell phone¡­ ¡°President Lu, after thinking about it, our Yan Family is really not worthy of your son. Why don¡¯t we forget about this marriage?¡± Father Yan still had a straight face and didn¡¯t even care if Mother Yan twisted his arm at the side. He was usually a henpecked man, but when it came to his daughter, his stance was especially firm! When Lu Ting heard him say this, he raised his hand again. ¡°I¡¯ll call that unfilial son toe back and kowtow and apologize to you now¡­¡± ¡°Father¡­¡± Suisui walked over and hugged his arm. She looked at Lin Qingqian pleadingly. ¡°Quick, help!¡± Lin Qingqian walked over and called out politely, ¡°Uncle, Auntie, Uncle Lu¡­¡± Father Yan looked up at her and his expression improved a little. ¡°Qingqian is here. Sit quickly.¡± Mother Yan stood up to pour her tea. Lin Qingqian sat down. ¡°Uncle, Auntie, there¡¯s no need to be so polite. I¡¯m just here to see Suisui.¡± After a pause, seeing that the atmosphere did not improve, she said softly, ¡°Uncle, the news on the Inte is fake. Luo Tianxue is my client. We¡¯re very familiar with each other. She and Lu Qinshang are really just friends. They¡¯re just partners on the filming set. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Suisui nodded vigorously at the side. Father Yan had always admired Lin Qingqian and felt that she was smart and capable. He felt more at ease knowing that Suisui was working in herpany. When he heard Lin Qingqian say this, he naturally believed that there was nothing between Lu Qinshang and that female celebrity. It was just that as a father, he cared about his daughter. Thinking that his daughter was going to marry a big star and marry into a rich family, he was always worried. Lin Qingqian turned to look at Lu Ting. ¡°Uncle Lu, you haven¡¯t seen Lu Qinshang in a long time. Why don¡¯t you take the time to visit him in the next two days? You can bring Uncle and Auntie Yan along. They probably haven¡¯t seen him filming yet.¡± Lu Ting immediately understood what she meant and pped his thigh. ¡°Alright, alright! Inws, let¡¯s go see that Young brat tomorrow and get him to personally pour tea for you to apologize!¡± Father and Mother Yan were a little hesitant. Lin Qingqian said, ¡°Uncle Yan, you haven¡¯t apanied Auntie out for a long time, right?¡± Mother Yan nodded and was very interested in watching the filming. She hurriedly said, ¡°That¡¯s right. Apany me to take a look tomorrow¡­ I still want to ask Miss Luo for an autograph.¡± Father Yan: ¡°¡­¡± Suisui secretly gave her a thumbs up. Well done! Lin Qingqian pulled her to the room and said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯ve helped you appease Uncle Yan. You have to help me with something too..¡± Chapter 378 - 378: I Have the Real Madam Jiang, Don’t I? Chapter 378 - 378: I Have the Real Madam Jiang, Don¡¯t I? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions The next day, Lu Ting came early in the morning to pick up Father and Mother Yan to visit his son. As Yan Sui was pregnant, she did not follow them on the bumpy ride. Instead, she went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. Lin Qingqian apanied her. In the office, Lin Qingqian sat at her desk and told the doctor about her situation. The doctor gave her a checkup and said, ¡°You¡¯re carrying your first child and there can be chances of a miscarriage. Don¡¯t be overly tired and watch your health. It¡¯s best if you can recuperate in bed and maintain a good mood.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard the word ¡°miscarriage¡±, her face turned pale and her hands and feet turned cold.
Seeing that she was nervous, the doctorforted her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be too nervous. All women will experience this with their first child. Just rx and recuperate well. ¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Alright, thank you, doctor.¡± The doctor prescribed medicine for her and she paid the fees and took the medicine. On the way back to Begonia Courtyard, Suisui held her cold hand and said, ¡°Qianqian, don¡¯t be nervous. I also saw blood at the beginning. The doctor said that it¡¯s normal and that it¡¯ll be fine.¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at her, her palm pressed against her abdomen. She said in a low voice, ¡°This is a gift that Ah Yan spent a lot of effort to give me. I can¡¯t let him down.¡± If not for this child, Ah Yan would not have¡­ Suisui already knew the whole story. She hugged her shoulder and said, ¡°No, your and Jiang Yan¡¯s child will definitely be born safely. Who knows, we might even be inws in the future!¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and looked at her¡­ Suisui said excitedly, ¡°Look, I like spicy food so much. You like sour food. Doesn¡¯t everyone say that these are signs of boys and girls? Perhaps I¡¯ll give birth to a daughter. Let the son you give birth to be engaged to her in the future!¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes curled up slightly. ¡°Are you going to set up an arranged marriage?¡± ¡°An arranged marriage is quite good too.¡± Suisui touched the tip of her stomach. ¡°This society is filled with perverts. It¡¯s better to find someone that you know well. ¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll give birth to a little pervert?¡± Lin Qingqian deliberately frightened her. At the thought of Jiang Yan, the smile on Suisui¡¯s face froze. ¡°You won¡¯t¡­ right?¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°Although personality dissociation can be inherited, I believe that Ah Yan¡¯s child won¡¯t. I¡¯ll let him grow up in an environment of love.¡± There were innate factors to one¡¯s personality, but most of them were nurtured after birth. Suisui heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°That¡¯s good. Although I like to take advantage of others, I don¡¯t want this kind of two in one offer.¡± Lin Qingqian: Suisui apanied Lin Qingqian back to thepany after lunch, and Lin Qingqian called Song Qin to inform her. Recently, she needed to focus on her work, so Song Qin was put in charge of all thepany¡¯s matters. If there was nothing special, she didn¡¯t want to be disturbed. In fact, she was lying in bed at home recuperating. Other than washing up and going to the washroom every day, she almost didn¡¯t go downstairs. Her early morning sickness could not be hidden from the auntie. Fortunately, the auntie had been working for a long time and her character was trustworthy. She was especially careful when taking care of her. Lin Qingqian was recuperating at home while drawing some design drafts. She stayed far away from electronic products and didn¡¯t know what was happening outside. The auntie looked hesitant. She stammered a few times and hesitated. Lin Qingqian guessed that it might be rted to Jiang Xiao Jiu, but she did not take the initiative to ask. She did not care what Jiang Xiao Jiu was doing outside at all, so she did not want to know. On the other hand, Jiang Yunshen returned and said loudly, ¡°Jiang Yanshen is too much! Even if he¡¯s not the previous big brother, he still has a legal husband-and-wife rtionship with you. Why doesn¡¯t he avoid it at all?¡± The auntie tried to stop him a few times but couldn¡¯t say anything. Lin Qingqian ate her food calmly and heard him say angrily, ¡°Is he blind? No one can fall for Ming Xiao.¡± Her chopsticks paused and she turned to look at him. ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± ¡°Ming Xiao.¡± Jiang Yunshen was so angry that he couldn¡¯t eat. ¡°What have you been busy with recently? You¡¯ve been hiding in your room. Now, the outside world is saying that you¡¯ve broken up and Jiang Yanshen has a new lover.¡± They evenpared Lin Qingqian to Ming Xiao. From her family background to her looks and career, they trampled on Lin Qingqian until she was worthless. ¡°It¡¯s not really a rumor!¡± Lin Qingqian said calmly. ¡°You can¡¯t possibly think that I can still be with the current Jiang Yanshen, right?¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned, and a trace of guilt surged in his narrowed eyes. He pursed his lips and said, ¡°Are you¡­ alright? You look a lot thinner. You look quite pitiful. ¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°I¡¯m just busy drawing designs recently.¡± Jiang Yunshen picked up the fish for her with the serving chopsticks and specially picked out the fish bones and ced them on the te in front of her. ¡°Eat more. If you continue to lose weight, the media will definitely say that you lost weight because of love. The media loves to make things up.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°Although it¡¯s a fact that you¡¯re thin because of love.¡± Lin Qingqian noticed his meticulous cheap shot, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, so much so that she did not even care about his words. Jiang Yunshen put down his chopsticks and felt a chill run down his spine. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°Little Yunshen has grown up and knows how to take care of people.¡± Lin Qingqian said in a light voice, ¡°Ah Yan will definitely be very happy to know.¡± Jiang Yunshen curled his lips and rolled his eyes. ¡°What Little Yunshen? How am I little! ¡± ¡°How are you not little?¡± Lin Qingqian asked in return. She paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Oh, I forgot. You can¡¯t say that a man is little! ¡± I suspect that you¡¯re bullying me and have evidence. ¡°I really should let Big Brother see you like this and see if he still believes that you¡¯re obedient and docile.¡± Lin Qingqian swallowed the fish and chuckled. ¡°Have you forgotten the first time you went to Yu Mountain?¡± bne naa long stoppea Demg genue ana ooement m rronc 01 Jiang yansnen. Jiang Yunshen also remembered. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t say it, but once you say it, I get angry. Big Brother is a double standard dog!¡± If he talked nonsense, he would be beaten up. If Sister-inw talked nonsense, he would pretend not to hear it! Lin Qingqian lowered her head and smiled. She recalled that at that time, even when the few of them were only having a snowball fight together, they were still very happy. Unfortunately, now¡­ Jiang Yunshen seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He hesitated for a moment and suppressed his awkwardness. ¡°Even if Big Brother is gone, I¡¯m still here! I¡¯ll protect you in the future!¡± The disappointment in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes faded. She looked up and saw that the childishness in his eyes had already faded. He looked more and more like a mature man. ¡°Alright, please take care of me in the future.¡± Jiang Yunshen raised his chin proudly with a smile. The doorbell suddenly rang. The auntie went to open the door, and a momentter, she heard the auntie say, ¡°You can¡¯te in¡­ Sir, you¡­¡± The auntie didn¡¯t manage to stop him. Jiang Yanshen walked in domineeringly and sneered when he saw them eating. Jiang Yunshen looked at the man in front of him in annoyance. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°What a close rtionship between uncle and sister-inw.¡± As soon as he entered, he saw them eating happily. An unknown anger suddenly surged in his heart. ¡°If I hadn¡¯te, would you have be Second Madam Jiang in a few days?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about!¡± Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore and stood up to scold him. Jiang Yanshen seemed to not be able to see him. His sinister eyes stared fixedly at Lin Qingqian, as if he wanted to eat her up. Lin Qingqian looked up indifferently and said calmly, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to look for my wife.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled into an evil smile. He strode forward and held her arm, pulling her up forcefully and roughly. ¡°Let go of her!¡± Jiang Yunshen said angrily. He stepped forward to grab Jiang Yanshen, but he was stopped by Fang Wu. Jiang Yanshen grabbed Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm and was about to leave when he was stopped by Chen Mu. The atmosphere immediately tensed up, and the auntie stood at the side, not even daring to breathe. Lin Qingqian¡¯s arm hurt from his grip and she frowned. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, what exactly do you want to do?¡± Her tone couldn¡¯t help but turn cold. Jiang Yanshen looked down at her, his thin lips curling up slightly. ¡°Apany me to a cocktail party.¡± ¡°You can look for your secretary or other women for such things.¡± Lin Qingqian said calmly, ¡°There are countless women who want to be your femalepanion.¡± ¡°Why should I look for another woman?¡± Jiang Yanshen licked his thin lips and smiled evilly. ¡°I have the real Madam Jiang, don¡¯t I?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s breathing stopped. Her clear eyes met his deep and dark gaze. After a moment of stalemate, she said softly, ¡°Since I¡¯m attending a cocktail party, you should let me change my clothes and put on some makeup, right?¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded and let go. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you, but I¡¯m not very patient. You¡¯d better not make me wait too long.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and turned to walk to the second floor. ¡°Sister-inw¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen called out, his face tense. Clearly, he did not want her to leave with Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian turned around and gave him a reassuring look before walking up to the second floor. Jiang Yunshen turned his head like a little wolf cub and red fiercely at the evil man. Jiang Yanshen pretended not to see it and walked to the spot where Lin Qingqian was sitting just now. He picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating¡­ He nodded as he ate. ¡°Yes, this dish is not bad. Please give me more rice.¡± He handed the empty bowl to the auntie. ¡± The auntie was stunned for a moment before looking at Jiang Yunshen. Seeing that he didn¡¯t object, she took the bowl and scooped some rice for him. Jiang Yunshen: ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± Jiang Yanshen spat out the fishbone from his mouth. As he picked up some food, he said coldly, ¡°I¡¯m warning you, stay away from her. She¡¯s your sister-inw.¡± Jiang Yunshen rolled his eyes at him. ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± Jiang Yanshen ignored him and continued eating. Compared to Jiang Yan¡¯s meticulous style, he looked much more casual. He scoffed at the rules and restrictions of the Jiang Family. Now that he was out of Old Madam Jiang¡¯s control, he naturally did as he pleased. The sound of rhythmic footsteps came from the quiet vi. Jiang Yanshen looked up at the staircase, his deep eyes filled with surprise. Lin Qingqian had changed into a red short skirt, revealing her thin and fair legs. Her long hair was scattered, and she had simply put on foundation. The color of her lipstick was even redder than her clothes, entuating her fair skin. When she held the railing and walked down step by step, she realized that Jiang Yanshen and Jiang Yunshen were both stunned. She tilted her head slightly to look at the man holding the bowl and said softly, ¡°We can go now..¡± Chapter 379 - 379: You Fell in Love with Lin Qingqian Chapter 379 - 379: You Fell in Love with Lin Qingqian Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses. He put down his bowl and lowered his head to hide the unnatural expression on his face. When he looked up again, his expression returned to normal. He stood up and walked to her side. He stretched his arm out in front of her, his exquisite facial features looking arrogant. Lin Qingqian¡¯s gazended on his arm for a second. Just as her porcin-white hand reached over, he walked towards the door. Jiang Yunshen also reacted. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± This was a business cocktail party. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t know the initiator, but Jiang Yanshen looked very familiar with the other party.
As soon as they arrived at the banquet hall, he threw Lin Qingqian aside and stood with the group of men and women to exchange pleasantries. From time to time, he even flirted with a few fashionable women. Jiang Yunshen stood beside Lin Qingqian and sneered. ¡°In the past, Big Brother always scolded me for being a silkpants. I think he¡¯s even more of a silkpants than me!¡± Lin Qingqian seemed to not sense the gaze that Jiang Yanshen gave her from time to time. She lowered her eyes and said lightly, ¡°Otherwise, how could you be brothers?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t help but roll his eyes again. ¡°Damn! Don¡¯tpare me to him. I¡¯m not going to be his brother!¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips and only smiled without saying anything. ¡°Damn!¡± Jiang Yunshen suddenly cursed softly. ¡°Why is she here?¡± Lin Qingqian followed his gaze and saw Ming Xiaoing in from the door. A dark purple dress floated over, attracting everyone¡¯s attention for a moment. Ming Xiao came in and scanned the surroundings. In the end, her gaze locked onto Jiang Yanshen and she walked elegantly to his side. ¡°Yanshen¡­¡± Her voice was so gentle that it could drip water. Jiang Yanshen nodded and his thin lips curled up slightly. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Ming Xiao: ¡°Sorry, I¡¯mte. Did you wait for a long time?¡± As she spoke, her hand was already holding Jiang Yanshen¡¯s arm. Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and smiled at her. ¡°Not long.¡± The two of them looked at each other and smiled, causing everyone to be stunned. They looked at Lin Qingqian sympathetically. The rumors about Director Jiang and Lin Qingqian¡¯s breakup was not groundless. It was true. ¡°F*ck!¡± Jiang Yunshen cursed softly and looked at Lin Qingqian sympathetically. ¡°Is he even human? Let¡¯s go¡­¡± He held Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand and was about to leave. ¡°President Lin¡­ Lin Qingqian had just turned around when a warm voice came from behind. She turned around and saw Ming Xiao and Jiang Yanshen walking towards her. Ming Xiao smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I waste, so Yanshen asked you to be his femalepanion at thest minute. Now that I¡¯m here, I hope you don¡¯t mind.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the calm man and said calmly, ¡°Yunshen, do you smell anything?¡± ¡°What?¡± The straight man, Jiang Yunshen, did not react for a moment. Lin Qingqian looked at Ming Xiao with her clear eyes and said calmly, ¡°The smell of a b*tch.¡± Jiang Yunshen immediately reacted and nodded. ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Where did this b*tchy smelle from? I almost vomited.¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s face darkened and she subconsciously nced at the man beside her from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he had no intention of helping her, she suppressed the anger in her heart and smiled elegantly. ¡°President Lin, we¡¯re all adults and have a reputation to maintain. One needs to know their limits.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t buy it and pursed her lips. ¡°Reputation is reserved for those who have it. This request is a little too much for someone who doesn¡¯t have it.¡± She was scolding them for being shameless. ¡°Lin Qingqian¡­¡± Ming Xiao¡¯s voice deepened. It was obvious that she was already very unhappy. Lin Qingqian acted as if she did not know. Ignoring the curious gazes from the surroundings, she said indifferently, ¡°Miss Ming likes to pick up things that others don¡¯t want so much. She loves the use of waste. I believe many environmentalists will be very gratified to see her so passionate about environmental protection. ¡± As soon as her gentle voice sounded, the expressions of the two people changed. Such straightforward words were unexpected. ¡°Since Director Jiang only wants me to act as a temporary femalepanion, now that my mission ispleted, I can leave.¡± With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Jiang Yanshen to speak. After all, this was a public ce. She did not believe that Jiang Yanshen would really fall out with her in public. Jiang Yunshen reacted and hurriedly followed, his eyes jumping with excitement. ¡°Damn, damn, damn! Sister-inw, you¡¯re too cool!¡± Originally, Jiang Yanshen had brought her over, but he acted intimately with other women in public and even called Ming Xiao over. It was obvious that he wanted to p Lin Qingqian¡¯s face and embarrass her. Who would have thought that not only was she not dealt a blow, but she also counterattacked beautifully? She couldn¡¯t even be bothered to pretend. It was simply¡­ It was too satisfying!! Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at him, her face still calm. ¡°I publicly rejected a marriage back then. What¡¯s this? It¡¯s just a small scene. Calm down.¡± The way she looked at him seemed to be saying, ¡°Don¡¯t act like you¡¯ve never seen the world.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡® Jiang Yanshen watched helplessly as she and Jiang Yunshen left. There was a casual smile on his face, and his hands tightened into fists. The unwillingness in his eyes disappeared. Ming Xiao let go of his hand and sneered. ¡°Did you see that? She doesn¡¯t care about you at all. She doesn¡¯t care even if you ask me to act!¡± Because she did not care, it did not matter it she was acting or not. ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡­¡± Ming Xiao narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. ¡°You fell in love with Lin Qingqian.¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head and met her gaze with his ck eyes. He snorted coldly and said, ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of your intelligence. How can I fall in love with a woman that only trash likes!¡± ¡°Then how do you exin your recent actions?¡± Ming Xiao questioned directly. Jiang Yanshen gritted his teeth and was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯m taking revenge on her. She likes that piece of trash so much, so I want her to watch me use the same face to be with another woman! I want her to suffer so much that she wants to die!¡± Ming Xiao sneered, her eyes shing with mockery. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, didn¡¯t you realize that your excuse is simply at the level of kindergarten?¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s face darkened as he red at her warningly. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to cooperate with my acting, you can get lost!¡± With that, he turned around and left the banquet hall. He hadn¡¯t achieved his goal tonight, so there was no point in staying. As for those women, he was even less interested. Ming Xiao looked at his departing figure and her red lips curled up coldly. ¡°Jiang Yanshen, one day, I¡¯ll make you lower your head and beg me.¡± On the way back, Lin Qingqian remained silent. She turned her head to look at the scenery shing outside the window, as if she was thinking about something. Jiang Yunshen wanted to speak a few times, but he swallowed his words. When they got out of the car and entered the house, Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Are you really fine?¡± Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and looked at him. Under the moonlight, her small face seemed to have an additionalyer of soft light filter. She said casually, ¡°Do you really want something to happen to me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Jiang Yunshen scratched the back of his head and deliberated. ¡°I¡¯m just worried that you¡¯ll take things too hard. Don¡¯t get sickter and trouble me to find a doctor for you.¡± ¡°Although he¡¯s the same person as Ah Yan, I can still tell who the person I love is.¡± Lin Qingqian curved her lips. ¡°Go to bed early and don¡¯t let your imagination run wild.¡± With that, she decisively entered the house. Jiang Yunshen looked at her thin and thin figure and sighed softly. ¡°I let my imagination run wild because I¡¯m worried about you?¡± Lin Qingqian told Jiang Yunshen not to let his imagination run wild, but she couldn¡¯t help but think about it. Although she could distinguish Jiang Xiao Jiu and Ah Yan very clearly, they were the same person after all. How could she really be indifferent when she saw him being intimate with another woman and seeing him with Ming Xiao, who had hurt her before? Her fingers gently caressed the ne around her neck. The fishes kissed each other every minute and second. The sweeter the kiss, the more painful it was when they hurt each other. Lin Qingqian held the ne, her heart aching, and she couldn¡¯t fall asleep at all. She got up and wanted to go downstairs to take a breather. Just as she walked out of the room, she saw that the door not far away was open, and there was light shining on the floor. Lin Qingqian walked over and saw the auntie wiping the bookshelf carefully with a cloth. ¡°Auntie, why are you still here sote?¡± When the auntie heard the sound, she turned to look at her and said with a smile, ¡°Previously, Sir didn¡¯t let me into the study, but I haven¡¯t cleaned it these past few days. I was afraid that there would be dust, so I wiped it since I couldn¡¯t sleep.¡± ¡°Leave it to me. Go and rest.¡± ¡°How can that do? Madam, you¡¯re still pregnant,¡± the auntie said worriedly. ¡°It¡¯s alright, it¡¯s just wiping something.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. Seeing that her attitude was firm, the auntie didn¡¯t insist. ¡°Alright, call me if you need anything.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and took the rag she handed over. She walked to the bookshelf and wiped a thinyer of dust off it. The auntie turned around three times with every step to confirm that she was fine before walking out of the room. The bookshelf was in front of her. The upper part needed adder to wipe it. The auntie had already brought thedder to the side in advance. Lin Qingqian ced thedder steadily and stepped on it step by step to carefully wipe every corner of the bookshelf. There were many books on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s bookshelf, ranging topics of ancient history to modern times. When Lin Qingqian saw the unfamiliar titles, she wondered if he would read them. However, with his busy schedule, he probably did not look at them much. He bought them to confuse people. Her red lips curled into a smile. When she was about to go down the stairs, her fingers identally touched a ck box beside her. She subconsciously wanted to grab it but missed. The box flipped over and countless postcards spilled out andnded on the ground. Lin Qingqian slowly came down thedder and squatted down to pick up the box, wanting to pick up the scattered postcards. A postcardndscape at her feet was London. It looked good. Unexpectedly, Ah Yan had a habit of collecting postcards. She ced the postcard in the box and turned to take the other postcards. Her fingertips froze in the air above the postcard, and her clear eyes were filled with shocking waves¡­ The back of the postcard was filled with words she was familiar with. One, two, three¡­ The back of each postcard she picked up was filled with a densely written passage. She went to get the one she¡¯d left in the box¡­ ¡ªQianqian Familiar words came into view, and for a moment, bitterness filled her entire chest.. Chapter 380 - 380: Madam Jiang, I Love You, But This May Be The Furthest I Can Go Chapter 380 - 380: Madam Jiang, I Love You, But This May Be The Furthest I Can Go Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Qianqian: It¡¯s 3 a.m. in Paris. Just now, I nced at the lights outside the window. Everyone said that Paris is the capital of romance. I didn¡¯t think so. Perhaps it was because I didn¡¯t have you, but my eyes are gray and lifeless. In the past, when I couldn¡¯t sleep, I would work. My existence seemed to be for this reason, but now, when I couldn¡¯t sleep, my mind was filled with you. Was this the so-called ¡°missing¡±?
I don¡¯t know. If it is, it feels a little bitter, but it doesn¡¯t seem that bitter either. Qianqian, I want to hug you and hear you call me ¡°Ah Yan¡±, even if I know that the name you¡¯re calling isn¡¯t me. But if lying to yourself can make people happier, I want this happiness. Lin Qingqian¡¯s fingers that were holding the postcard couldn¡¯t help but tremble. Her gazended on the date. It was written by him when he went to Paris for a business trip previously. Putting down this Paris scenery, she picked up another postcard. Qianqian: It¡¯s four in the morning. You¡¯re sleeping very soundly with a smile on your lips. You might be having a sweet dream, but I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ve been in your dream before. Recently, I didn¡¯t dare to fall asleep because I realized that as long as I fell asleep, my consciousness would be very heavy. Even my memories would be intermittent and iplete. Actually, it¡¯s good that I can¡¯t sleep. At least, I could hug you and look at you quietly. I want to look at you like this forever. This sentence was very short and the handwriting was messy. It was probably written in a hurry. Lin Qingqian changed to another postcard with a sea view. Qianqian: I almost lost you. It was so close. I love you so much, but he wants to hurt you¡­ Why am I Jiang Yan and not Jiang Yanshen? What should I use to protect you? Qianqian, I just want you to be safe and happy. No matter the price, I¡¯m willing to pay it. The date was the night she fell into the sea in Sanya. His handwriting was wild and powerful. Just by looking at the handwriting, Lin Qingqian seemed to be able to sense the anger and helplessness he felt when he wrote this sentence. Perhaps because she had been squatting on the ground for a long time, her legs were a little numb. She sat on the ground and casually picked up the postcard beside thedder. Qianqian: Shen Zhiwei said that I¡¯m but a split personality, so I was born without love. I don¡¯t know much about love, but Shen Zhiwei said that it¡¯s what every woman wants in their life. It¡¯s the reason why you left me. If love can bring you back to me, I¡¯m willing to learn. Can you teach me? Don¡¯t give up on me so quickly. Don¡¯t be so cold to me. It¡¯s not that I hate you. I¡¯m just worried¡­ When you discover one day that I¡¯m not Jiang Yanshen, you¡¯ll reveal a look of disgust. You¡¯ll be like those people, hoping that I¡¯ll disappear¡­ Qianqian: Until you appeared¡­ Seeing you bleeding from head to toe, I suddenly thought of myself and my heart softened. I hope that you will learn how to survive in this chaotic world. Perhaps I¡¯m just too lonely, and every time you look at me with admiration and joy, it ignites a trace of warmth in my cold heart. Speaking of which, I¡¯m selfish. I don¡¯t understand feelings, but I pretended to be deeply in love to lie to you. Shen Zhiwei said that when you know the truth, you¡¯ll break down and despair¡­ No, I won¡¯t let this day happen. As long as you¡¯re happy, I can pretend for the rest of my life. Qianqian: I don¡¯t know when you¡¯ll see these things. It could be monthster, yearster, or decades. No matter what, I hope you can be safe and happy because it¡¯s not worth being sad for a person like me who shouldn¡¯t exist in the world. I had always thought that my existence was to help him be the sessor of the Jiang Family and support Tianyue Group. Now, I understand that I¡¯m just a knife. However, without an edge, a saber that can¡¯t kill will naturally have no value. I think I don¡¯t have much time left. What else can I do for you? I can return the young man you first fell for to you. It doesn¡¯t matter if he doesn¡¯t treat you well. I¡¯ll make him treat you as well as I treat you. Shen Zhiwei always said that I don¡¯t know love and don¡¯t love you. It¡¯s just vanity and possessiveness. The entire world seems to think that I don¡¯t love you, but Qianqian¡­ If I say that I love you, will you believe me? When Lin Qingqian saw ¡°I love you, will you believe me?¡± , the mist that had been lingering in her eyes for a long time could no longer be held back and condensed into beads that fell one by one. Her tears blurred the words as she read his words line by line, afraid that she would miss a punctuation mark. Perhaps my original intention was selfish and despicable, but now, I love you. You taught me love. You made this ck and white silent world have color and sound. You also let me know that love can be a candied fruit or a de that can kill. Qianqian, you will definitely be curious why I gave you the fish kissing ne. Everyone thinks that kissing fish is a very loving and sweet expression. In fact, fishes kissing is not necessarily sweet. It might also be just a battle. It¡¯s just that this is the only way they can do it. Don¡¯t they look like us? We look sweet, but we¡¯ve actually been fighting. You have many doubts about me, and I¡¯ve lied to you again and again in order to protect my secrets. Madam Jiang, I love you. But this may be the furthest I can go with my love. I¡¯m sorry. The sign-off date was the night before she left for Mn to participate in thepetition. Lin Qingqian was already sobbing uncontrobly. Her pale face was covered in tears, and the postcard in her hand floated to the ground. There were still many postcards that she had not read. Her heart ached so much that she couldn¡¯t read a single word more. She arched her legs and bit her arm to barely stop herself from howling. There was pain, anger, and resentment in her heart, but most of it was heartache. How did he feel every time he sat here and used a pen to dissect his heart word by word? What kind of mood did he have to ept disappearing from this world? When he left, did he have a lot to say to her? Was he in a lot of pain? Lin Qingqian bit her arm until it bled, and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood. She choked with difficulty before letting out a whimper. She could barely remember what she had said to him during thest call in Mn¡­ Why didn¡¯t she say more back then? Why didn¡¯t she say ¡°I love you¡± to him properly back then? Why didn¡¯t she give him the gift earlier? Why didn¡¯t she notice that something was wrong with him earlier and didn¡¯t stop him from stopping the medicine¡­ Remorse was like a knife slowly stabbing into her chest, twisting her internal organs until they broke inch by inch, and her soul shattered. Jiang Yunshen was in a daze when he heard something. He got up to take a look. When he walked to the door of the study and saw her sitting on the ground crying, his expression immediately became nervous. ¡°Sister-inw, what¡¯s wrong?¡± He quickly walked forward and squatted down. ¡°Did you fall?¡± Lin Qingqian bit her arm and did not speak, her tears falling like rain. Seeing that there were no wounds on her body, Jiang Yunshen saw the postcards on the ground. He picked one up and was instantly stunned when he saw the words at the back. A momentter, he realized that this was written by his Big Brother for his Sister-inw. He did not continue reading and immediately ced them back in the box. ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t cry. Big Brother¡¯s heart will ache to death if he sees this.¡± He was not veryforting, and hisforting words were stuttering without any confidence. Lin Qingqian acted as if she did not hear anything and was only immersed in regret and grief, like a puppet. Jiang Yunshen was worried that she would bite herself again and clumsily moved her arm from her mouth. Seeing that the teeth marks on her arm were already bleeding, he frowned very tightly. ¡°No matter how sad you are, you can¡¯t hurt yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes trembled with tears and she was speechless. Jiang Yunshen took a deep breath and quickly picked up the postcards on the ground and ced it in the box. Then, he stuffed the box into her arms. He bent down and picked her up horizontally. He turned around and walked out of the study, quickly walking to the bedroom. The auntie was worried and came up to take a look. When she saw him carrying Lin Qingqian back to the bedroom, she was immediately shocked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with Madam?¡± Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t exin and instructed, ¡°Bring the medicine box over.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I¡¯ll go now.¡± The auntie hurriedly went downstairs. Jiang Yunshen kicked open the bedroom door and walked to the big bed. He carefully ced her on the bed and pulled open the nket to cover her. He didn¡¯t know how long she had been sitting on the floor, but her body was as cold as ice. The auntie sent the medicine box in and said worriedly, ¡°Where is she hurt?¡± ¡°Her arm.¡± Jiang Yunshen took the medicine box and instructed very steadily, ¡°Go and pour a cup of hot water.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The auntie went out again. Jiang Yunshen opened the medicine box and sat down by the bed. He pulled her arm and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. ¡°Do you women like to torture yourselves? Just smash things when you¡¯re sad. Why hurt your body?¡± As he spoke, he gently wiped the wound with disinfectant cotton. Afraid that she would be in pain, he even blew on it. From the corner of his eye, he saw her numb expression and knew that he was worried for nothing. Even if he stabbed her now, she probably wouldn¡¯t be able to cry out in pain. ¡°I know you love Big Brother very much, but Big Brother is no longer around. No matter how sad you are, he won¡¯t be able toe back.¡± Jiang Yunshenforted her earnestly as he treated her wound. ¡®You usually look quite calm. Why did you suddenly be so fragile? This isn¡¯t like you at all. The tears at the corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes rolled down silently. Her right hand hugged the box in her arms tightly, as if she was hugging thest straw of her life. Jiang Yunshen felt that he was ying the lute to a cow. She couldn¡¯t listen to anything now and he couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste his breath. The auntie came in with a cup of hot water, and he asked the auntie to put it by the bed and go out. After treating the wound, he reached out to touch the cup that was not so hot anymore. He picked it up and handed it to Lin Qingqian. ¡°Drink the water and rest early. Don¡¯t let your imagination run wild.¡± Lin Qingqian sat still like a puppet. Jiang Yunshen stuffed the cup into her hand and said in a fierce tone, ¡°Lin Qingqian, it wasn¡¯t easy for me to change my opinion of you.. Can you not make me hate you again?¡± Chapter 381 - 381: Has Ah Yan Really Disappeared Completely? Chapter 381 - 381: Has Ah Yan Really Disappeared Completely? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Compared to the half-dead Lin Qingqian now, he still liked the quiet Lin Qingqian who would scold him at the drop of a hat. The warmth of his palm made Lin Qingqian¡¯s cold fingers seem to have some feeling. Her curly eyshes fluttered quickly a few times, and her tightly pursed lips moved. Her voice was difficult. ¡°He loves me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Her voice was very soft, so Jiang Yunshen didn¡¯t hear her clearly. ¡°Everyone is telling me that he¡¯s just a split personality.¡± Lin Qingqian slowly raised her head mechanically, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at him with despair and helplessness. ¡°During this period of time, everyone has been telling me that he doesn¡¯t really love me. He doesn¡¯t understand love. Everything he did was an act and a lie¡­
But I don¡¯t believe it. How can such an affectionate gaze be fake? He disregarded his own safety and went to Yu Mountain to look for me. How can it be an act¡­ Her choked voice rose, and her tears hung on her pale cheeks. Her red lips curled into a deste smile. ¡°At this moment, I can finally be sure that he loves me.¡± He loved me in his immature and clumsy way. Jiang Yunshen felt his heart being hammered by someone. It was painful and stuffy. His throat bobbed a few times as he smiled. ¡°Isn¡¯t that good? It¡¯s good that he loves you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qingqian¡¯s heartbroken voice sounded. ¡°But I¡¯ll lose him forever.¡± Jiang Yunshen¡¯s eyes heated up and he almost cried on the spot. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°Although this person is a little more of a bastard now, if you miss him too much, you can treat him as Big Brother and look at him.¡± Lin Qingqian bit her lip and shook her head. ¡°He stopped taking the medicine for me. He knew that I liked children, so he stopped taking the medicine to give Jiang Xiao Jiu a chance to cause so much trouble. When he left, he didn¡¯t even know that he had be a father.¡± This was the most unbearable hurdle in her heart! Jiang Yunshen was stunned. When he reacted, his eyes under his single eyelids were filled with surprise and excitement. ¡°You¡¯re pregnant? I¡­ I¡¯m going to be an uncle?¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. Her eyes, which had been washed by tears, looked at him and nodded hesitantly. Jiang Yunshen squatted down and looked up at her with a silly smile, revealing his cute canine teeth. ¡°You¡­ Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier! I¡¯m going to be an uncle¡­ He was so excited that it was as if he was going to be a father! ¡°I¡¯ll call Grandma now!¡± Just as he took out his phone, a porcin-white hand stopped him. His excited eyes looked at her in confusion. ¡°Grandma has always known that Ah Yan was a split personality.¡± Her hoarse voice slowly sounded, and the smile on Jiang Yunshen¡¯s lips instantly froze. Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly, and her voice was hoarse and light. ¡°Grandma sees it clearer than anyone else. She knows that Ah Yan has fallen in love with me, so she split the shares into three and used me to restrain Ah Yan. Other than protecting you, she¡¯s also guarding against Ah Yan.¡± ¡°W-why?¡± Jiang Yunshen was confused and looked confused. ¡°Why did Grandma guard against Big Brother?¡± ¡°Ah Yan is only a split personality after all. Jiang Xiao Jiu is her real grandson.¡± Lin Qingqian sniffed. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, Fang Wu should also be Grandma¡¯s subordinate. ¡± Jiang Yunshen was stunned for a few seconds before he gulped and said, ¡°But you¡¯re pregnant with the Jiang family¡¯s child after all. Grandma won¡¯t do anything to you.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved into a cold smile. ¡°Of course she won¡¯t do anything to me. She will even try her best to matchmake me with Jiang Xiao Jiu, but I¡¯m unwilling!¡± She was unwilling to be with the current Jiang Xiao Jiu, let alone let the child acknowledge Jiang Xiao Jiu as his father. Jiang Yunshen fell silent, his eyesplicated and worried. Lin Qingqian hugged the box with one hand and ced the other on her stomach. Her eyes were firm as she said, ¡°Yunshen, there¡¯s only one father of this child, and that¡¯s Ah Yan.¡± Jiang Yunshen knew how screwed up Jiang Yanshen was now. It was not strange for her to have such thoughts. ¡°You¡¯re right. I support you!¡± Pregnant women were the most important. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly, and her expression was a little lonely. ¡°Will you really support me? No matter what I do?¡± Jiang Yunshen nodded without hesitation. ¡°Of course! Who asked the little fellow in your stomach to be my nephew!¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Lin Qingqian smiled. ¡°I¡¯m very tired and want to rest.¡± ¡°Alright, drink the water and rest early!¡± Jiang Yunshen picked up the medicine box. Lin Qingqian nodded. As she brought the cup of water to her mouth, she looked at his back and said silently in her heart, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Yunshen.¡± The next day. Lin Qingqian changed into a green dress. Her hair was casually braided into a long tail that was ced on her left shoulder. She wore a straw hat and went downstairs. The auntie was a little surprised to see her dressed like this. ¡°Madam, you¡¯re going out?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°I¡¯m meeting someone.¡± ¡°Do you need me to apany you?¡± the auntie asked worriedly. Before Second Young Master went to work in the morning, he specially instructed her to apany Madam well and not let her stay in the room alone for a long time. ¡°No need, Chen Mu will apany me.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. Although there were faint dark circles under her eyes, she looked quite energetic and didn¡¯t look very haggard. The auntie: ¡°Then what do you want to eat tonight?¡± ¡°Nothing too greasy. Just something light.¡± Lin Qingqian still had some morning sickness and couldn¡¯t stand the smell of oil and meat. The auntie hurriedly agreed. When Lin Qingqian went out, the sun was ring. It was already May, and the sunlight was a little vicious. Chen Mu held an umbre and walked forward to pick her up. ¡°Madam, get in.¡± Lin Qingqian thanked him and bent down to get into the car. Chen Mu retracted his umbre and got into the car. When they arrived at the cafe, Chen Mu got out of the car and carried an umbre to send her to the entrance of the cafe before parking the car. Lin Qingqian walked into the cafe and looked around. When she saw Shen Zhiwei sitting by the window, she walked over. ¡°Miss Lin.¡± Shen Zhiwei saw her and was about to get up. Lin Qingqian let her sit down and ordered a cup of warm water. She ced the straw hat on the chair beside her. Shen Zhiwei was wearing a white chiffon shirt and a silver diamond ne today. She was wearing navy blue high-waisted pants and high heels. She looked professional and capable. ¡°Your outfit today is not bad.¡± Lin Qingqian praised sincerely. ¡°Thank you.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s lips curled into a professional smile. ¡°Miss Lin didn¡¯t specifically ask me out just to praise my clothes, right?¡± Lin Qingqian looked at her with her clear eyes, her gaze gradually sharpening. ¡°Since Doctor Shen is going straight to the point, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I want to ask you a question. I hope Doctor Shen can answer it truthfully.¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Has Ah Yan really disappearedpletely?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. Her voice was very soft, but it carried a hint of determination. The smile on Shen Zhiwei¡¯s lips froze and she subconsciously asked, ¡°Why did Miss Lin suddenly ask such a question? Jiang Yan¡­ ¡°Doctor Shen!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender index finger bent and tapped twice on the table, her eyes staring at her instantly. ¡°Answer me yes or no?¡± Shen Zhiwei was silent for a long time. She took a deep breath and squeezed out a word. ¡°No.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s calm expression was not surprised at all because it was simr to what she had expected. Seeing that she was very calm, as if she had guessed it long ago, Shen Zhiwei looked a little helpless. ¡°Dissociative personality recovery takes a very long time, and the process is veryplicated. Even Professor Morse can¡¯t kill a personality in a short week.¡± ¡°Then why is Ah Yan¡­ missing?¡± Lin Qingqian held her breath after asking. ¡°I¡¯m not too sure about the exact situation,¡± Shen Zhiwei replied. ¡°ording to my guess, Professor Morse hypnotized Jiang Yan. Coupled with drug control and long-term psychological interference, I believe that in less than a year, Jiang Yan¡¯s personality willpletely disappear.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes fluttered as she suppressed the excitement in her heart and said calmly, ¡°Just like how Ah Yan suppressed Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s personality back then!¡± Shen Zhiwei nodded. ¡°It¡¯s just that Jiang Xiao Jiu is the main personality, and Jiang Yan is a split personality, so it¡¯s more difficult to suppress it. However, it¡¯ll be much easier for Jiang Xiao Jiu.¡± Perhaps because of Lin Qingqian¡¯s influence, Shen Zhiwei also called him Jiang Xiao Jiu. Lin Qingqian¡¯s hand on the table slowly tightened, and a trace of hope ignited in her clear eyes. She even looked at her hopefully, and her tightly pursed lips rxed. ¡°If I say that I want Jiang Yan back, can you help me?¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned, and a trace of surprise shed across her eyes. ¡°Miss Lin, what do you mean? Don¡¯t tell me you¡­¡± She didn¡¯t say the rest, but the two of them knew very well. Shen Zhiwei read some information in her eyes, and her voice gradually became cold. ¡°Miss Lin, are you joking with me? Jiang Xiao Jiu is the main personality, and Jiang Yan is only a split personality.¡± ¡°All those years ago, didn¡¯t Ah Yan also live as Jiang Yanshen?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s gentle voice retaliated. ¡°Just because he is a split personality, he doesn¡¯t deserve human rights? If he doesn¡¯t deserve to live, he has to be eliminated?¡± Shen Zhiwei seemed to be stunned by her question. She had never thought about whether a split personality had human rights. Everyone seemed to tacitly agree that the split personality was pathological, needed to be cured, and should not exist in the world. ¡°When Jiang Xiao Jiu needed him, he created him. And when he doesn¡¯t he can destroy him.¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head, her red lips curling into a cold smile. ¡°Who exactly isn¡¯t worthy of being a human?¡± ¡°Even so, no one can change the fact that Jiang Xiao Jiu is the main personality.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s expression was solemn as she said in a serious tone, ¡°You can¡¯t possibly think that Jiang Yan can suppress Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s personality and live for the rest of his life, right?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said softly, ¡°Then let Jiang Xiao Jiu disappear.¡± Shen Zhiwei was stunned and looked at her in disbelief. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°It¡¯s enough for a person to have one soul,¡± Lin Qingqian replied calmly. ¡°Crazy, you¡¯re really crazy!¡± Shen Zhiwei shook her head and looked at her as if she was a lunatic. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu is the main personality. No split personality can devour the main personality..¡± Chapter 382 - 382: If We Have a Child, His Surname Will Be Lin.

I¡¯ve Already Thought Of His Name Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Just because you shouldn¡¯t doesn¡¯t mean you absolutely can¡¯t, right?¡± Her gentle voice was like a calmness that transcended the mortal world, throwing all the restrictions of etiquette to the back of her mind and stepping on it. The surprise in Shen Zhiwei¡¯s eyes gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and said firmly, ¡°Miss Lin, not to mention that I can¡¯t do it, even if I can, I can¡¯t help you. I can¡¯t vite my professional ethics.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s dim eyes turned cold. ¡°Is your professional ethics to let a bad personality do evil outside?¡± ¡°If he¡¯s vited thew, he has to be punished by thew. I¡¯m just a psychiatrist, not a judge. I can¡¯t judge his crimes.¡± Shen Zhiwei¡¯s red lips curled up slightly. She paused and reminded kindly, ¡°Miss Lin, forgive me for being blunt, but you¡¯re simply fantasizing and rebelling.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s long and thick eyshes fluttered as she said numbly, ¡°So¡­ you¡¯re determined not to help me.¡±
¡°Yes,¡± Shen Zhiwei replied without thinking. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I have other clients to meet. Excuse me.¡± With that, she picked up her handbag and left. She didn¡¯t know how long she sat there until the cup in her hand waspletely cold. Then, she put down the cup and stood up to leave. She turned around and saw the person standing at the door. His slender and tall figure was weak, and his warm eyes were looking at her worriedly. Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks for a second and strode towards the door. When she passed by him, she didn¡¯t stay for a second, let alone exin anything. There was no need to exin. Han Liubai turned to look at her thin and tenacious back. It made his heart ache and despair. He followed her out of the caf¨¦. Lin Qingqian did not get into the car immediately. Instead, she stood at the door and looked up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky. The strong sunlight was so bright that she could not open her eyes. It was clearly the prelude to midsummer, but she could not feel any warmth. Whether it was day or night, she always felt very cold. She didn¡¯t know if Ah Yan felt the same way. Han Liubai walked to her side and looked at her pale face. His throat rolled and tightened. He had never been an impulsive person, but at this moment, he had a strong urge to ask her how much she loved Jiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and looked straight at the dazzling sunlight. Her voice was extremely faint. ¡°I don¡¯t know either. It¡¯s just that when I think of him, the corners of my mouth can¡¯t help but curl up, and I can¡¯t help but feel sad.¡± Han Liubai lowered his head and an extremely tragic smile appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he turned his head and stared at her gently. ¡°No matter what you do, I¡¯ll support you.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned and looked at him in surprise. ¡°Xiao Bai¡­¡± Han Liubai¡¯s gentle voice sounded slowly. ¡°We¡¯re friends. There¡¯s no need for a reason to support and trust each other.¡± Lin Qingqian was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Thank you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked up the call¡­ ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± After ending the call, she looked up at Han Liubai and revealed an understanding smile. ¡°Go. I¡¯ll go back to thepany after buying a cup of coffee.¡± Lin Qingqian reached out and patted his arm. ¡°It¡¯s been hard on you.¡± Han Liubai¡¯s lips curled up as he watched her get into the car with a smile. The more he smiled, the more his heart ached. The car slowly drove onto the main road and merged with the traffic, getting further and further away. Not far away, someone got out of the car and walked to his side with a parasol. Her voice was slightly worried. ¡°President Han¡­¡¯ Han Liubai lowered his head and coughed twice. His forced spirit dissipated, and his brows couldn¡¯t hide his fatigue. His voice was weak. ¡°How¡¯s Jiang Yanshen?¡± Xu Wan: ¡°He probably doesn¡¯t know that someone has already dug a huge pit for him.¡± The corners of Han Liubai¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he said in a weak voice, ¡°He¡¯s indeed far inferior to Jiang Yan.¡± Xu Wan hesitated for a moment but couldn¡¯t help but reach out to support him. ¡°President Han, let¡¯s go back to Ennd. Your body¡­¡± Before she could finish speaking, Han Liubai raised his hand and interrupted, ¡°Jiang Yanshen is definitely not a good person. I can¡¯t leave Lan City at this time.¡± He couldn¡¯t leave her at this time. His dim eyes looked in a certain direction, his gaze unwavering. ¡°President Han¡­¡± Xu Wan¡¯s voice was already hoarse. No one understood better than her how weak his body was. Now, other than dealing with White¡¯s matters every day, he also had to help Shi Guang Studio¡¯s coborating artistes do their styling and matching. He even had to deal with the coboration with the magazine. Han Liubai turned his head to meet her worried gaze and smiled faintly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m fine¡­ Before everything is over, I won¡¯t let anything happen to me.¡± Xu Wan was silent. She lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes¡­ When Lin Qingqian returned to Begonia Courtyard, the people from the film studio were already there. The auntie had just brought them tea. Seeing her return, the Manager of the film studio stood up and said, ¡°Madam Jiang.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded slightly. When she walked over, her gazended on the bag beside the sofa. The Manager quickly picked up the bag and took out the photos. ¡°Madam Jiang, these are the wedding photos from Sanya.¡± ¡°ording to Mr. Jiang¡¯s instructions, the best two have been erged and framed. They can be hung in the bedroom.¡± When Lin Qingqian saw the photo frame in the Manager¡¯s arms, her eyes turned red¡­ The Manager thought that she was touched and carefully put down the photo frame. He took out a heavy photo album and said, ¡°Madam Jiang and Mr. Jiang are too good-looking, so many of the photos turned out great. ording to Mr. Jiang¡¯s request, even the discarded films were preserved and the electronic versions were ced on the USB drive.¡± Lin Qingqian walked forward and took the USB drive. She held it tightly in her palm and squeezed out a thank you from her dry throat. ¡°This is what we should do.¡± The Manager bowed slightly and said professionally and respectfully, ¡°If you need anything in the future, please contact us.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded and instructed the auntie to send the guests off. She sat down on the sofa and ced the heavy photo album on herp. She flipped through the first page and saw the two of them changing into wedding dresses and suits at the hotel. It clearly was not the full picture, but it still looked good. The two people in the camera stared at each other affectionately. She couldn¡¯t remember the details of Sanya¡¯s wedding photoshoot. At this moment, as she flipped through the photo album, memories surged into her heart. Because this was not the first time they had taken a photo, the two of them acted very naturally. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s stamina was very good. He carried her like a princess, carried her on his back, or even lifted her without any hesitation. He was so hot that even his shirt was drenched. Lin Qingqian recalled Jiang Yanshen¡¯s strange habit again. He seemed to like carrying her. While others do a princess carry, he insists on lifting her without a word. He really didn¡¯t have any romantic cells. The auntie sent the guests away. When she returned and saw the photos, she couldn¡¯t help but praise, ¡°They¡¯re so beautiful. You two are really a match made in heaven.¡± When Lin Qingqian heard her words, she looked up and asked, ¡°Is that so?¡± The auntie: ¡°That¡¯s right. The way Sir looks at Madam in the photo is really gentle, but why is he¡­¡± Seeing the sadness in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes, she swallowed her words. The auntie didn¡¯t understand and looked at her nkly. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t exin. Her lips curved as she said, ¡°Auntie, please help me hang them up.¡± The auntie nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± As soon as Jiang Yunshen finished work and returned, he saw a wedding photo hanging on the wall. There were also photos in the living room and dining area. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± he asked the auntie in confusion. The auntie replied, ¡°The film studio just sent them over today. Madam asked me to hang them up.¡± Jiang Yunshen scratched his ears in confusion and muttered, ¡°Is this because she hasn¡¯t recovered from the stimtion? He walked upstairs and saw a wedding photo hanging on the wall opposite the staircase. In his heart, he was speechless. Thinking that she might be missing his Big Brother too much and she was a pregnant woman, he could only understand and tolerate it. He turned around and walked to his room. When he pushed open the door, he was stunned. There was a single photo of Jiang Yanshen hanging above his bed. The photo was probably taken secretly. It only captured Jiang Yanshen¡¯s side profile and his dark eyes were as sharp as knives¡­ At the thought of being stared at when he slept every night, Jiang Yunshen felt terrible. He couldn¡¯t take it anymore and knocked on Lin Qingqian¡¯s door. ¡°Come in.¡± Jiang Yunshen pushed the door open and entered. He said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s fine if you hung up your wedding photos in the living room, dining area, and corridor, but why did you hang Big Brother¡¯s photo in my room?¡± It was even above his bed!! Lin Qingqian stood at the head of the bed and looked at the wedding photos. When she heard this, she turned her head and smiled. ¡°Haven¡¯t you always admired Ah Yan?¡± ¡°I admire him, but I¡¯m not a pervert!¡± Jiang Yunshen raised his voice in protest. ¡°Who would hang a photo of their brother on their bed! I don¡¯t have a fetish for brothers.¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fetish for brothers, but you have a brotherplex! Don¡¯t be embarrassed, I understand!¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡°¡­¡± What do you know!! ¡°Take that lousy photo away for me.¡± He did not want to hang his brother¡¯s photo at the head of the bed, nor did he want to further frighten his weak heart. ¡°Yunshen¡­¡± The corners of Lin Qingqian¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as she sighed. ¡°Ah Yan only has us. If even you hate him¡­¡± Her ck and white eyes under her slender eyshes were filled with disappointment and sadness, and mist was faintly discernible. Jiang Yunshen could not stand women crying the most, not to mention that Lin Qingqian was his sister-inw. The trauma of being beaten up by his Big Brother because he had made Lin Qingqian unhappy had yet to dissipate. ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Just hang it wherever you want.¡± Hepromised and turned around. ¡°I¡¯ve really¡­ what sins have Imitted?!¡± The disappointment in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes was swept away, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. Although the brat was usually a little naughty, his heart was still soft. She let go of the arm in front of her and held a postcard in her hand. There was a passage written in clear handwriting. Qianqian, I know you want a child that belongs to us. Actually, I don¡¯t quite understand the so-called continuation of life. My life is not even mine, let alone a child¡¯s. However, if you like it, I¡¯ll learn to like it too. If you want it, I¡¯ll give it to you. I promised Aunt that if we had a child, the child¡¯s surname would be Lin..

Do you think that even if we work hard and live well, there¡¯s no need for a marriage alliance?¡± ¡°You have hands and feet. Your limbs haven¡¯t degenerated and you have the ability to work. If you¡¯re unwilling to marry into someone else¡¯s family, you at least have the confidence to leave your family. You won¡¯t be carried from one gorgeous cage to another.¡± Lin Qingqian said softly, ¡°Moreover, no matter how bad you are, you¡¯re still graduates from a famous university. Why can¡¯t you work to build your career?¡± Their own career? Ling Shuang¡¯s eyes lit up. She did not even dare to think about this in the past¡­ ¡°Of course, I¡¯m just saying it casually. You¡¯re born with high status, so it¡¯s not certain if you can withstand the hardships. If a marriage alliance makes you feel more rxed andfortable, it¡¯s not a bad choice.¡±
¡°Who said that I can¡¯t endure hardships!¡± Ling Shuang¡¯s rebellious bones were instantly stimted by her. ¡°Who are you looking down on!¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything. She turned her head and gave Song Qin a look. Song Qin understood and took out a business card from her handbag and handed it to Ling Shuang. ¡°We¡¯ll open another shop in Lan City soon. We¡¯re hiring staff and managers now. If you¡¯re interested, you can give it a try.¡± Ling Shuang snatched the business card and nced at it disdainfully before looking at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Just you wait, I¡¯ll definitely be the manager.¡± The two sisters looked at her in disbelief and tugged at her sleeves. ¡°Shuangshuang, are you really going to sell clothes?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! How embarrassing is it to sell clothes!¡± Ling Shuang red at them impatiently. ¡°If you feel embarrassed, you don¡¯t have toe!¡± The two sisters bit their lips and remained silent. ¡°What if I be the store manager?¡± Ling Shuang provoked arrogantly. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°If you be the manager of the new shop in half a year, I¡¯ll agree to one request.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Ling Shuang agreed immediately. ¡°You said it yourself. Don¡¯t go back on your word when the timees.¡± ¡°The one who reneges on her word is a puppy!¡± Ling Shuang held the business card tightly in her hand and nced at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Eh? Shuangshuang, aren¡¯t we buying clothes?¡± Ling Shuang said without turning her head, ¡°Buy my ass. I¡¯m going back to write my resume!¡± When Lin Qingqian heard her voice, a few smiles appeared in the corners of her eyes. Song Qin was a little puzzled. ¡°President Lin, why did you hire that rich second-generation heir? Even if she enters thepany, she won¡¯t be able to work well. She might even cause us trouble.¡± ¡°I heard that the Ling Family has been declining in the past half a year. President Ling already has the thought of forming a marriage alliance with another powerful family.¡± Otherwise, he would not have deducted Ling Shuang¡¯s pocket money. ¡°So what?¡± Song Qin pouted. ¡°I heard that she even offended you in the past.¡± ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll be calctive with a child¡¯s prank?¡± Lin Qingqian asked. Song Qin shook her head. ¡°Of course not. President Lin, you¡¯re magnanimous and have an extraordinary bearing. Why would you argue with those brats?¡± Lin Qingqian knew that she was bragging but did not expose her. As she looked at the furnishings in the shop, she said, ¡°Ming Xiao has her social circle in Lan City. The moment she speaks to Ming Yue, the entire socialite circle in Lan City won¡¯t dare to cooperate with me and I will earn a lot less money.¡± Just thinking about it made her sad. Song Qin: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°But Ling Shuang and Ming Xiao are not on the same level.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate rich second-generation heirs like Ling Shuang. She¡¯s a little profligate, but she¡¯s mostly loyal. Moreover, do you think there are more people standing at the top of the pyramid, or more people standing in the middle of the pyramid?¡± Song Qin replied without thinking, ¡°There are more people in the middle of the pyramid.¡± ¡°So, it¡¯s time for us to gather them and form a tower.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s light and pleasant voice carried a deeper meaning. Song Qin seemed to understand. Lin Qingqian did not exin further. When the time came, Song Qin would naturally understand. After inspecting the shop, it was lunchtime. Lin Qingqian invited Song Qin to eat. After dinner, they were originally going back to Begonia Courtyard. Chen Mu went to drive, and Song Qin apanied her to wait for the car in the shade at the door. Song Qin¡¯s cell phone rang. It was a call from thepany. She turned sideways and walked to the side to answer the call. Lin Qingqian stood alone. When Song Qin finished the call and was about to walk over, she saw that something was about to fall from above Lin Qingqian. Without thinking, Song Qin pounced over and hugged Lin Qingqian¡­ Lin Qingqian fell to the ground unprepared, and Song Qin was on top of her. There was a broken vase and a pool of water on the ground beside her. When she looked up, she vaguely saw a figure sh past the window. ¡°Song Qin, Song Qin¡­¡± Lin Qingqian reached out and pushed her shoulder, but Song Oin did not react. Her fingersnded on the back of Song Qin¡¯s head, and her palm was filled with sticky blood. Lin Qingqian held her breath¡­ Chen Mu got out of the car and quickly dialed the emergency number to call the police. Song Qin was sent to a nearby hospital. After the police sealed the scene, they sent someone to the hospital to take Lin Qingqian¡¯s statement. When Gu Xici received the news, he rushed to the hospital. Song Qin was still in the emergency room, and Chen Mu was waiting at the door with Lin Qingqian. Gu Xici strode in front of her, his eagle eyes filled with worry. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and slowly raised it to look at him, then at her hand. The blood had already congealed and was dry on her hand, as if it was wrapped in ayer of stic wrap. She silently gulped and said, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± The one who was in trouble was Song Qin. After confirming that she was fine, Gu Xici heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. Secretary Song will be fine too.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t reply and looked up at him. ¡°Have you found out?¡± Gu Xici shook his head. ¡°The unit on the fifth floor is an empty room. The door lock was pried open. There are no surveince cameras in the corridor, so we can¡¯t find out who it is.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s cold fingers trembled slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched mechanically without saying anything. Just as Gu Xici was about to speak, the door of the emergency room slowly opened. Lin Qingqian stood up and went forward to ask impatiently, ¡°How¡¯s Song Qin?¡± ¡°The patient has been saved and is now out of danger. Her wound has also been treated. She will be transferred to the wardter.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s suspended heart finally rxed and she heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°Chen Mu, go and settle the hospitalization procedures.¡± Chen Mu nodded and turned to look for the nurse to settle the hospitalization procedures. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t wait for Song Qin toe out. She picked up her handbag and left. Gu Xici grabbed her arm and frowned. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Her red lips curled into a cold word. ¡°To settle scores.¡± ¡°You want to look for Jiang Yanshen?¡± Gu Xici frowned coldly. ¡°There¡¯s no evidence to prove that he did it¡­¡± He was afraid that he would hurt Lin Qingqian, so he did not use much strength. Lin Qingqian flung him away. ¡°What evidence do you need? This is not the first time he¡¯s done such a trick. Didn¡¯t he use this method to force Ah Yan to leave me back then?¡± With that, she turned around and left. ¡°Lin Qingqian, Lin Qingqian¡­¡± Gu Xici called out to her a few times but did not manage to stop her. He sighed helplessly. Worried that something would happen to her, he quickly chased after her. In the President¡¯s office of Tianyue Group. When Lin Qingqian barged in, Jiang Yanshen was in a meeting and Lu Yuan could not stop her. Jiang Yanshen saw her frown. Before he could scold her, Lin Qingqian had already walked forward and pped him. The loud sound made the higher-ups feel their faces hurt. They looked at Lin Qingqian in horror and silently praised her in their hearts: Awesome! Jiang Yunshen widened his eyes and looked at Lin Qingqian in disbelief. He tried his best to give her a look. ¡°Sister-inw, are you crazy?¡± Wasn¡¯t she afraid that Jiang Xiao Jiu would lose control and kill someone in public? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes were dark and terrifying. He reached out to touch his face and his jaw tightened. A momentter, he squeezed out a word. ¡°Get lost!¡± The higher-ups quickly dispersed like frightened birds. Jiang Yunshen stood still, afraid that she would be killed if he left. ¡°I told you to get lost!¡± Jiang Yanshen red at Jiang Yunshen with a violent gaze and roared. There were a few red threads in his eyes. ¡°Shout for me at the door if there¡¯s anything.¡± Jiang Yunshen couldn¡¯t stand his sharp gaze and went out. Only the two of them were left in the office. Lin Qingqian finally spoke, her voice cold as she mocked, ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, if you want the shares,e and fight with me openly. I can still consider you a man. Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re dirty every time you use such underhanded methods?!¡± Jiang Yan took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the anger rising in his chest. He squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you crazy!¡± ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, I¡¯m warning you. If you have anything,e at me. But if you dare to hurt anyone around me again, I¡¯ll make you scram from the Jiang Family and Tianyue Group in minutes!¡± Jiang Yanshen was alsopletely furious. ¡°Lin Qingqian, are you f*cking crazy? You barged in and pped me without saying a word. Do you really think I don¡¯t dare to touch you?¡± ¡°Try me!¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s clear eyes met his murderous gaze fearlessly. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, either you kill me openly, or stop those tricks!¡± With that, she turned to leave. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes narrowed. He understood the meaning behind her words and grabbed her arm. ¡°Make yourself clear. What do you mean by killing you openly? What happened to you?¡± Lin Qingqian struggled to shake off his arm. Her eyes were cold and mixed with a hint of disgust. ¡°Stop pretending. Jiang Xiao Jiu, let me tell you, I won¡¯t return the shares to you. Even if you kill me, the shares won¡¯t return to you. Give up!¡± With that, she turned around and walked towards the door. Jiang Yanshen was stunned on the spot. His gazended on the blood on her palm and he immediately understood. Someone wanted to deal with her! ! As soon as this thought surged into his mind, the anger in his chest surged like magma¡­ Lin Qingqian pulled open the office door and Jiang Yunshen, who was guarding the door, immediately asked nervously, ¡°Are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him and did not say anything. Her eyelids drooped and she fell down. Jiang Yunshen panicked and hurriedly reached out to hug her. His voice was flustered.. ¡°Sister-inw¡­ Chapter 385 - 385: Ah Yan Still Has a Chance to Come Back? Chapter 385: Ah Yan Still Has a Chance to Come Back? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions When Gu Xici, who had walked out of the elevator, saw this scene, he ran over. Someone moved faster than him. Jiang Yanshen rushed over and carried Lin Qingqian away from Jiang Yunshen¡¯s arms. As he walked towards the elevator, he shouted at Fang Wu, ¡°Prepare the car to the hospital. Hurry¡­¡± His dark eyes were filled with nervousness and worry that even he didn¡¯t know. Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen were stunned. No one expected him to be so concerned about Lin Qingqian. When they came back to their senses, Jiang Yanshen had already carried Lin Qingqian into the elevator. They hurriedly chased after him. On the way to the hospital, Jiang Yanshen kept calling Lin Qingqian¡¯s name and patted her cheek gently. ¡°Lin Qingqian, nothing must happen to you¡­ Wake up! I haven¡¯t got the chance to exin things to you clearly yet. Nothing can happen to you.¡± With that, he shouted at Fang Wu, ¡°Hurry up!! Fang Wu caught the veins on his face and stepped on the elerator. In the hospital, in the ward. Lin Qingqian slowly woke up and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯splicated and suppressed gaze. Someone moved faster than him. Jiang Yanshen rushed over and carried Lin Qingqian away from Jiang Yunshen¡¯s arms. As he walked towards the elevator, he shouted at Fang Wu, ¡°Prepare the car to the hospital. Hurry.. His dark eyes were filled with nervousness and worry that even he didn¡¯t know. Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen were stunned. No one expected him to be so concerned about Lin Qingqian. When they came back to their senses, Jiang Yanshen had already carried Lin Qingqian into the elevator. They hurriedly chased after him. On the way to the hospital, Jiang Yanshen kept calling Lin Qingqian¡¯s name and patted her cheek gently. ¡°Lin Qingqian, nothing must happen to you¡­ Wake up!

Nothing can happen to you.¡± With that, he shouted at Fang Wu, ¡°Hurry up!!¡± Fang Wu caught the veins on his face and stepped on the elerator. In the hospital, in the ward. Lin Qingqian slowly woke up and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯splicated and suppressed gaze. Her breathing paused and she did not speak for a moment. She quietly breathed in the air filled with disinfectant. The doctor knocked on the door and entered, holding a report in his hand. ¡°Mr. Jiang, Madam Jiang is fine. She was just too agitated.¡± After hearing the doctor¡¯s words, Jiang Yanshen heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. ¡°Got it.¡± He thought to himself that she was too weak. How could she faint like this! In the next second, he heard the doctor say, ¡°But Madam Jiang already showed signs of a miscarriage previously. You still have to be careful to let her stay in bed and rest. Let her maintain a calm mood and avoid being agitated.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Jiang Yanshen took a deep breath and looked up at the doctor in disbelief. The doctor was also stunned. ¡°Mr. Jiang, don¡¯t you know?¡± His gaze thennded on Lin Qingqian, who was lying on the hospital bed. Lin Qingqian gradually clenched her fists under the nket and lowered her eyes without saying anything. ¡°Madam Jiang is pregnant,¡± the doctor exined. ¡°But it¡¯s her first pregnancy and her body is weak. She needs to recuperate well. She can¡¯t be agitated, and she can¡¯t do any strenuous exercise.¡± With that, the doctor left, leaving time for the couple tomunicate. As soon as the door of the ward closed, Jiang Yanshen immediately turned around to look at Lin Qingqian, who was lying on the hospital bed. He couldn¡¯t hide the excitement in his voice. ¡°You, you¡¯re pregnant?¡± Lin Qingqian turned her head to the other side as if she did not hear anything. Jiang Yanshen bent down and turned her face over, his eyebrows rxed. ¡°You¡¯re pregnant with my child.¡± Lin Qingqian pried his hand away and said in a slightly hoarse voice, ¡°The child is not yours.¡± ¡°Ha!¡± Jiang Yanshen sneered and simply sat down by the bed. He looked at her with a faint smile. ¡°Lin Qingqian, don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re so naive to think that the child belongs to Jiang Yan and has nothing to do with me?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up and red at him coldly. ¡°I¡¯m different from that trash. Although I didn¡¯t nt the seed myself, I recognize my seed!¡± Lin Qingqian had imagined the scene of Jiang Xiao Jiu finding out about her pregnancy countless times. There were countless possibilities, but she did not expect this¡­ He was not angry at all. Instead, he looked very happy. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, you don¡¯t love me. Why are you so happy that I¡¯m pregnant?¡± Something quickly shed across Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes. His thin lips curved into a nonchnt tone as he said, ¡°I don¡¯t love you, but I¡¯m already 29 years old this year. It¡¯s quite good to have a child of my own before I¡¯m 30 years old.¡± In the end, she added, ¡°Moreover, this child was born from the legitimate Madam Jiang. ¡± Lin Qingqian: Jiang Yanshen pretended not to see her speechlessness. He pped his hands on his thighs and rubbed them together. He was already looking forward to it. ¡°I¡¯m going to be a father. What do you think his name should be?¡± ¡°Jiang Bi, Jiang MO? Jiang¡­¡± ¡°His surname is Lin!¡± Before he could continue, Lin Qingqian interrupted him coldly. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s expression changed slightly. After a moment, he said with a smile and a nonchnt tone, ¡°That¡¯s fine too¡­ Lin Bi, Lin MO, Lin¡­ Lin Qingqian couldn¡¯t help but rub the space between her eyebrows. ¡°I want to rest. ¡± This level of naming was really¡­ indescribable. Jiang Yanshen looked at her pale and colorless face, which was as thin as a paper figurine. He nodded. ¡°Alright, rest then. I¡¯lle and see you after I¡¯m done!¡± After getting up and taking a few steps, he thought of something and stopped in his tracks. She turned around, her ck eyes shining with a demonic light. ¡°You¡¯re Madam Jiang and you¡¯re pregnant with my child, so you¡¯d better not let me see you being close with another man. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee what I¡¯ll do. ¡± Lin Qingqian grabbed the cup by the bed and threw it at him. Jiang Yanshen dodged agilely. He was in a good mood and had a smile on his lips. ¡°Rest well. I¡¯m leaving.¡± This time, he did not hesitate and strode to the door to open it. Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen were standing at the door, their eyes guarded and worried¡­ Jiang Yanshen¡¯s disdainful gaze swept across their faces and he walked out without a word. Jiang Yunshen was the first to rush into the ward. ¡°Sister-inw, are you alright?¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at Gu Xici behind him and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Jiang Yunshen heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine. It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± She paused and reacted. ¡°Oh no, does he know that you¡¯re with child? Could he¡­ ¡°He wants me to give birth to the child,¡± Lin Qingqian replied, her eyes indicating that he could rest assured. Jiang Yunshen frowned and pondered for a moment. He touched his chin and said, ¡°No matter what, he¡¯s still the flesh and blood of the Jiang Family. Even a monster will not hurt its own children!¡± ¡°Yunshen, go out first.¡± Gu Xici, who had been silent all this while, suddenly opened his mouth and dismissed him. ¡°Ah?¡± Jiang Yunshen finally realized. ¡°Why do you want me to go out? What do you want to say that you can¡¯t let me listen to?¡± His dissatisfied eyes darted between them. There was a faint shadow under Lin Qingqian¡¯s slender eyshes as she said gently, ¡°I¡¯m going to be hospitalized for a few days. Go back and get Auntie to help me pack some daily necessities.¡± Jiang Yunshen snorted. ¡°You two are keeping something from me¡­ If you don¡¯t want to tell me, forget it. I don¡¯t want to hear it!¡± With that, he turned around and left proudly. Lin Qingqian looked at his tall back and a trace of surprise shed across her eyes. She thought that since Ah Yan was no longer around, he would grow up to be more mature and steady. She didn¡¯t expect him to still be so childish. When Gu Xici heard the sound of the door closing, his sharp gazended on Lin Qingqian. His voice was low. ¡°You¡¯re too impulsive.¡± ¡°Song Qin suffered for me, so I naturally couldn¡¯t help it.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s expression was calm, as if she knew her mistake. ¡°It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t reply. Instead, he pulled up a chair beside him and sat down. His hawk-like eyes were filled with scrutiny. Lin Qingqian: ¡°Are you interrogating me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not an impulsive person,¡± Gu Xici said calmly, analyzing the case word by word. ¡°Even if there¡¯s no evidence, Tianyue Group¡¯s shares are indeed in your hands. Once something happens to you, the shares will be taken by the professional organizations. That way, Jiang Yanshen will never get anything. Therefore, the person who wants you to be safe the most in this world should be Jiang Yanshen.¡± Since Jiang Yanshen hoped that she was fine, how could he do anything to her! With Lin Qingqian¡¯s intelligence and exquisite mind, no matter how angry she was, she would not ignore such an important point. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyshes trembled slightly and she was silent for a moment. ¡°Can¡¯t I really be impulsive?¡± ¡°From the series of arrangements you made to escape from Lan City, I knew at that time that you were definitely not an impulsive person.¡± Gu Xici said with extreme certainty, ¡°So, Lin Qingqian, what exactly did you want to do?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her head and smiled helplessly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be the person who understands me the most in this world.¡± Gu Xici didn¡¯t refute. He was indeed more clear about Lin Qingqian¡¯s personality. Perhaps it was because of his profession. The ward fell silent for a moment. Gu Xici leaned back in his chair, his long legs ovepping. His expression was indifferent, and he wasn¡¯t anxious or impatient, as if he had the patience to wait until she wanted to speak. ¡°I know it wasn¡¯t Jiang Xiao Jiu.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and said slowly. Gu Xici frowned slightly. ¡°Then why did you look for him?¡± ¡°He¡¯s not the one who did it, but he¡¯s involved.¡± Gu Xici raised his evebrows slightlv as her slightlv cold voice sounded in his ears. ¡°There are three people in this world who want me to disappear the most. One is in prison, one is in a mental hospital, and the other is Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s business partner, my old enemy¡ªMing Xiao.¡± ¡°Why would she take such a huge risk to deal with you?¡± Gu Xici was puzzled. If such a thing was found out, she would go to jail. Lin Qingqian pondered. ¡°I¡¯m also very curious. She¡¯s not someone who can¡¯t control her emotions. Why did she use such a straightforward method to deal with me this time?¡± Her clear eyes met Gu Xici¡¯s sharp gaze, and her bloodless lips curled up slightly. ¡°Why did she attack me behind Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s back?¡± Gu Xici quickly reacted. ¡°They don¡¯t get along.¡± ¡°Ming Xiao is a woman with a strong desire to control others, but Jiang Xiao Jiu is not someone who will be controlled by others.¡± When Lin Qingqian mentioned these two people, there was a thin coldness in her eyes. ¡°Since their cooperation is not unbreakable, why don¡¯t I take the opportunity to dissolve it!¡± She had gone to Tianyue Group to test Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s attitude towards this matter. The only thing she did not expect was that she would faint and be discovered by Jiang Xiao Jiu. Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s reaction when she found out was also beyond her expectations, but it might not be a bad thing. Gu Xici¡¯s expression wasplicated. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out two words. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. ¡°Why are you apologizing?¡± ¡°Before you went to Mn, I promised you that I would take good care of Ah Yan, but in the end¡­¡± Gu Xici remembered that he hadn¡¯t kept his promise and was very ashamed. As a result, he didn¡¯t know how to face Lin Qingqian these days. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°This isn¡¯t your fault. Moreover, Ah Yan¡­ is still around.¡± Gu Xici¡¯s pupils dted. ¡°What did you say? Lin Qingqian: ¡°I¡¯ve gone to test Shen Zhiwei¡¯s words. Ah Yan should still be around, but Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s personality is in charge now, so he can¡¯te out.¡± An idea shed across Gu Xici¡¯s mind and he blurted out, ¡°You want Ah Yan toe back!¡± Ah Yan still had a chance to return?! Chapter 387 - 387: Lin Qjngqian, Do You Hate Me That Much? Chapter 387 - 387: Lin Qjngqian, Do You Hate Me That Much? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Jiang Yanshen snorted lightly with an arrogant expression. ¡°Of course not. I¡¯m not stupid. What good will it do me if you die?¡± Lin Qingqian blinked. ¡°Then who is it?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about this. Rest well.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to tuck her in. ¡°Take good care of the child. Don¡¯t let anything happen to my son.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at him and said stubbornly, ¡°The child has nothing to do with you.¡± Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t dwell on this question with her. He frowned slightly.
¡°Alright, rest quickly.¡± Lin Qingqian did not say anything and stared at him with her big watery eyes. Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. After a moment of stalemate, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°Go out.¡± Without waiting for him to reply, Lin Qingqian said slowly, ¡°I can¡¯t sleep if you¡¯re here.¡± Jiang Yanshen ¡°¡­¡± His dark eyes stared at her unhappily for a long time before he finally stood up and turned to leave. Seeing the door of the ward close, Lin Qingqian slowly heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, he had gone to settle scores with Ming Xiao. Ming Xiao was probably furious to death now. Although with Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s cunning schemes, he would not do anything to Ming Xiao, it was not bad to make them quarrel. At least in the future, there would be fewer people to disgust her. With this thought in mind, Lin Qingqian fell asleep unknowingly. Jiang Yanshen walked out of the ward but didn¡¯t leave. Instead, he stood at the door of the ward and lit a cigarette. His slender body leaned against the wall. As he smoked, he turned his head to look at the door that was ajar. Through the gap, she could be seen turning her body and closing her eyes. Thinking about how she would give birth to a child for him soon, they would be a family of three. Three seemed to be a little quiet. He should make another one¡­ Thinking of this question, Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes slightly. Wisps of smoke curled up and blurred the desire that silently grew in his eyes. The outside world did not know about Lin Qingqian¡¯s hospitalization, and those in the hospital who knew were also told to keep it a secret. Lin Qingqian wanted to visit Song Qin the next day, but the doctor did not let her get out of bed. She insisted. Helpless, they could only ask the nurse to push the wheelchair over and let her sit on it. Song Qin¡¯s head was smashed open. Fortunately, the injury was external and her brain was fine. As long as the wound healed and she did a few more checkups to confirm that there was no problem, she could go back and recuperate. Song Qin¡¯s face was still pale and she was not in good spirits. When she saw Lin Qingqianing, she wanted to sit up. ¡°Lie down. You don¡¯t have to get up.¡± Lin Qingqian hurriedly stopped her. She turned her head and thanked the nurse who pushed her in. The nurse still had work to do, so she went out first and asked her to call herter when she wants to go back. Lin Qingqian turned her wheelchair to the bed and looked at Song Qin¡¯s pale face. She said apologetically and gratefully, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for causing you to be injured.¡± Song Qin forced a smile. ¡°President Lin, you¡¯re wee. This is what I should do. ¡± ¡°No, there¡¯s nothing that you¡¯re obligated to do,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Song Qin lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she said, ¡°If Director Jiang was still around, he would definitely increase my sry.¡± ¡® Lin Qingqian did not know whether tough or cry. ¡°I¡¯ll increase your sry by double.¡± ¡°President Lin, I don¡¯t mean that. It¡¯s¡ª¡± Song Qin wanted to exin but guessed something. She was silent for a moment before saying, ¡°Director Jiang values you more than anything else. He¡¯ll be happy that I saved you.¡± Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. She did not expect her to be talking about this. ¡°President Lin, just like Lu Yuan, I admire Director Jiang very much and am grateful to him. Because when our lives were at the lowest point, he helped us and gave us hope and a life.¡± Song Qin lowered her head, her eyes filled with endless sadness. ¡°But I can¡¯t do anything for him. The only thing I can do is protect you.¡± This was the only thing I could do for Director Jiang. Lin Qingqian held her hand. ¡°Thank you.¡± She thanked Song Qin for herself and Ah Yan. ¡°That bastard Lu Yuan. To think that Director Jiang treated him so well. He¡¯ll get his retribution sooner orter for helping the wicked.¡± Song Qin gritted her teeth at the mention of Lu Yuan. She hated and despised this ungrateful thing. However, she did not expect Lu Yuan¡¯s retribution to be her. Lin Qingqian did not mind Lu Yuan¡¯s current actions at all. ¡°Perhaps he has some difficulties that he can¡¯t talk about.¡± ¡°What difficulties can he have? He¡¯s just ungrateful. President Lin, don¡¯t put in a good word for him.¡± ¡°Alright, alright, alright. I won¡¯t put in a good word for him anymore.¡± Seeing her frown, Lin Qingqian hurriedly changed her words. ¡°You saved me this time. I¡¯ll make two more pink clothes for youter.¡± When she heard the word pink, Song Qin¡¯s head immediately stopped hurting. ¡°Really?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Song Qin¡¯s eyes were filled with hope as she asked carefully, ¡°Then can I have a gown?¡± Previously, the two sets of apricot pink were for work. They could not be worn to private gatherings. ¡°I was negligent. You have to attend some social events on my behalf often now. I should have prepared it for you long ago.¡± Lin Qingqian looked apologetic again. ¡°It¡¯s not a social gathering.¡± Song Qin licked her lips and exined embarrassedly, ¡°I¡­ want to wear it for a blind date.¡± Surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes. ¡°Blind date?¡± Song Qin nodded slightly. ¡°I¡¯m still single.¡± Which girl did not want to have a sweet rtionship? ¡°I understand.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyebrows curved into an arc. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely help you make the most beautiful gown and let you go on the blind date beautifully.¡± Song Qin smiled in satisfaction. ¡°Thank you, President Lin.¡± The two of them chatted casually for a while before someone suddenly knocked on the door. The nurse came in with a bouquet of flowers. ¡°This bouquet is at the door. Is it yours?¡± ¡°Flowers?¡± Song Qin and Lin Qingqian looked at each other. ¡°Who sent them?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± The nurse ced the flowers on the table. ¡°I saw the flowers at the door of your ward and helped bring them in. I¡¯ll bring a vase overter. These flowers are quite beautiful.¡± With that, the nurse turned around and left. ¡°Who would send me flowers?¡± Song Qin looked confused. ¡°Could it be for the wrong person?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°It¡¯s also possible that someone who has a crush on you knew that you were hospitalized and specially sent it here.¡± ¡°A crush?¡± Song Qin¡¯s face immediately turned red. ¡°Why didn¡¯t that person tell me if he has a crush on me!¡± ¡°Perhaps he¡¯s embarrassed.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the beautiful flowers on the table. ¡°It¡¯s even 11 roses.¡± Song Qin: Seeing her confused expression, Lin Qingqian exined, ¡°The meaning of 11 roses is to love you forever.¡± Song Qin¡¯s face was even redder than the roses. She said happily and embarrassedly, ¡°Madam, can I trouble you with something?¡± Song Qin said, ¡°Help me take a photo!¡± Lin Qingqian agreed happily and took a photo of the roses with her phone. She instructed her to rest well and went out. Song Qin hugged her cell phone and posted a photo on her Moments with a shy expression. Then, she investigated the people who liked her post and guessed which one was the one who had a crush on her!! Lin Qingqian came out of the ward and turned her wheelchair to the elevator. Her ward was upstairs. The elevator door slowly opened. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to enter, she saw Han Liubai walking out. Han Liubai was also stunned when he saw her. ¡°Why did youe down?¡± ¡°I was worried about Song Qin, so I came down to take a look,¡± Lin Qingqian exined. Han Liubai¡¯s expression darkened slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t the doctor say that you need to recuperate? Why aren¡¯t you listening?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could exin, Han Liubai had already pushed her into the elevator and went upstairs to her ward. Han Liubai bent down and carried her from the wheelchair to the bed. He pulled open the nket and covered her with it. He couldn¡¯t help but turn his head and cough lightly after the exertion. Seeing his pale face, Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Are you alright? I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to be so nervous about me.¡± ¡°How can I not be nervous about you?¡± Han Liubai¡¯s words immediately changed the atmosphere in the ward. Lin Qingqian blinked and did not speak for a moment. Han Liubai also realized that he had overreacted. He lowered his head and tried to salvage the situation. ¡°You saved my life. How can I let anything happen to you?¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. I¡¯m already in a wheelchair. If I continue lying down, I¡¯ll really be a paper doll.¡± Han Liubai looked at her and pursed his lips. ¡°You¡¯re not alone anymore. You have to take good care of yourself.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Before she could speak, a low sneer came from the door. The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw Jiang Yanshen standing at the door, his deep eyes filled with evilness. ¡°Are you done kissing?¡± His thin lips moved as he said coldly, ¡°If you¡¯re done, you can get lost now.¡± Thest sentence was directed at Han Liubai. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu¡­¡± Lin Qingqian was interrupted just as she opened her mouth. ¡°Shut up!¡± His malicious gaze locked onto Han Liubai¡¯s face. ¡°I¡¯ll give you five seconds to consider. Get lost now, or else¡­¡± His voice paused. The warning was self-evident. Han Liubai¡¯s cold gaze swept across his face. He lowered his head and said to Lin Qingqian, ¡°I¡¯ll go see Song Qin. Rest well.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. Han Liubai turned around and walked towards the door. When he passed by Jiang Yanshen, he suddenly said, ¡°Wait.¡± Han Liubai stopped in his tracks for a second. Jiang Yanshen turned his head and whispered something into his ear. His voice was very soft and only the two of them could hear it. Han Liubai¡¯s eyes froze, followed by a heart-wrenching cough, as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs. Lin Qingqian¡¯s eyes were filled with worry. ¡°Xiao Bai¡­¡± Han Liubai nced at her from the corner of his eye and walked out of the ward without saying anything. Jiang Yanshen sneered and mmed the door shut. Lin Qingqian was a little worried about Han Liubai. Her cold and sharp eyes looked at the man walking over. ¡®What did you say to Xiao Bai?¡± ¡°Women shouldn¡¯t interfere in the matters of men,¡± he said arrogantly. Seeing that he was unwilling to say, she did not ask further, Lin Qingqian frowned and said, ¡°Why are you here again?¡± Jiang Yanshen pulled out a chair and sat down. He did not answer her but stared at her suspiciously. ¡°I realized that you¡¯re amiable to everyone, but you¡¯re extremely cold to me!¡± His thin lips moved, and his voice was tense.. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you hate me that much?¡± Chapter 388 - 388: Don I t You Want to See Him? Chapter 388 - 388: Don I t You Want to See Him? Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions Lin Qingqian nced at him and did not say anything. Was there a need to ask this question? Jiang Yanshen was not angry. His thin lips curled into azy and evil smile. ¡°So what if you hate me? You¡¯re still my wife after all. You¡¯re also pregnant with my child, and you¡¯ll be with me for the rest of your life.¡± ¡°I can divorce you.¡± Before she could say it, there was a sudden knock on the door. Jiang Yanshen turned around and saw the nurse walking in with two people in uniforms.
¡°May I ask if you¡¯re Mr. Jiang Yanshen?¡± one of them asked. Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Someone called the police and said that you deliberately injured someone. Pleasee with us.¡± In the past, with Gu Xici mediating for such a small matter, there was no need to go to the police station personally. But now, it¡¯s different. He got up and buttoned his suit. A smile appeared on his thin lips. ¡°Alright.¡± Before turning around, he nced at Lin Qingqian. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡® Lin Qingqian really wanted to say: Don¡¯t tter yourself. Who¡¯s worried about you? After Jiang Yanshen and the two police officers left, Lin Qingqian picked up her phone and called Gu Xici to ask what was going on. The reason was that Ming Yuan had called the police and said that Jiang Yanshen had deliberately harmed Ming Xiao. Now, Ming Xiao was hospitalized for treatment. Although there was no substantial harm, she was very agitated as if she¡¯d suffered a huge blow. On the phone, Gu Xici also told her that if Ming Xiao¡¯s evaluation report did not show any physical harm, even if she sued him, she would not win. At most, he would receive a verbal warning and a fine. Lin Qingqian originally wanted to sow discord between the two of them and make a gap in their hearts so that they would note together to disgust her. She did not expect¡­ Jiang Xiao Jiu was so ruthless that he directly sent Ming Xiao to the hospital without leaving anything for them to convict him. This time, he was probably really going to anger Ming Yuan. Compared to Ah Yan¡­ his methods were too low-level. The most taboo thing in the business world was to leave no room for negotiation and make enemies everywhere. Lin Qingqian was not worried about Jiang Xiao Jiu. She was worried about Ah Yan and Tianyue Group. At the police station, Jiang Yanshen finished recording his statement apanied by Lawyer Zhang. The injury assessment report on Ming Xiao¡¯s side was also out. Other than the bruises on her hands and feet from being tied up and her mental state being agitated, she was not injured in any other way. Even the chances of suing Jiang Yanshen were not high. Jiang Yanshen came out of the interrogation room and bumped into Ming Yuan, who had apanied Ming Xiao to the police station. The three of them collided head-on. Ming Xiao looked at him with hatred in her eyes. Ming Yuan was calmer than Ming Xiao, but his old face was gloomy and not very happy. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s exquisite facial features were filled with a smile as he said casually, ¡°Miss Ming was discharged so quickly. From the looks of it, the bruises on your hands will probably heal if you go to the hospitalter.¡± ¡°Jiang Yanshen¡ª¡± Ming Xiao heard his sarcasm and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Ming Yuan. ¡°Xiaoxiao.¡± Ming Yuan nced at her warningly and Ming Xiao swallowed the words that were about toe out of her mouth. Ming Yuan looked at Jiang Yanshen with his deep eyes and said calmly, ¡°Director Jiang, if Xiaoxiao did anything wrong, you can tell me. I¡¯ll teach her a lesson. Your actions are ultimately wrong.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s disdain was written all over his face. ¡°President Ming, you¡¯re being too serious. I was just joking with Miss Ming. After all, Miss Ming likes to joke, right?¡± Ming Xiao clenched her fists by her side and tried her best to control her anger so that she would not p him. This man¡­ was simply despicable and hateful to the extreme. No matter how much she liked and yearned for this man in the past, after what happenedst night, she only felt hatred and resentment. ¡®Young man, I¡¯ll give you a piece of advice as an experienced person. Don¡¯t be too arrogant,¡± Ming Yuan said indifferently. Jiang Yanshen sneered. ¡°Thank you for your warning, President Ming, but I don¡¯t need it. I still have something on, so I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± With that, he walked towards the entrance of the police station. Ming Yuan¡¯s gaze followed his back, and his eyebrows were filled with coldness. Ming Xiao called out with a pale face, ¡°Father¡­¡± Her eyes were filled with endless grievance. Ming Yuan raised his hand and patted her shoulder. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. You have to be patient in everything. He will pay the price for his arrogance today.¡± With his words, Ming Xiao¡¯s expression improved slightly. ¡°I understand, Father.¡± Lin Qingqian was recuperating in the hospital, and Song Qin was also hospitalized. The new designs would be handed over to Xiao Bai and Su Ying to handle. Fortunately, Song Qin had already arranged everything previously, so the sales were not bad. They were at a higher level than before. A weekter, the doctor approved Lin Qingqian¡¯s discharge from the hospital. However, she still needed to remain in bed to recuperate when she returned home. She couldn¡¯t tire herself out, let alone do any strenuous exercise. On the morning of the discharge, Lin Qingqian had already asked the nurse to pack up and wait for Jiang Yunshen toe over. In the end, the person who pushed open the door first was¡ªJiang Yanshen. Lin Qingqian was a little surprised to see him. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s to pick up my wife to go home and recuperate.¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled and turned his head to give Fang Wu a look. Fang Wu picked up her luggage and walked out. It was toote for Lin Qingqian to stop him. Her eyes were filled with coldness. ¡°I¡¯m not going back to the Jiang residence.¡± ¡°Where do you want to go if you¡¯re not going back to the Jiang residence?¡± Jiang Yanshen walked in front of her and carried her up. Lin Qingqian was shocked. When she reacted, she struggled in his arms. ¡°Put me down¡­ Jiang Xiao Jiu!¡± Her cold voice was mixed with anger. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± His cold voice was filled with warning. He tightened his grip on her. ¡°If you move again, bear the consequences of falling to the ground.¡± As if his warning had worked, Lin Qingqian indeed stopped moving. When Jiang Yanshen lowered his head, an imperceptible smile shed across his lips as he strode out of the ward. When they just entered the elevator, the elevator beside them slowly opened. As Jiang Yunshen walked towards the ward, he munched on the meat buns that he had asked Chen Mu to buy on the way. In the end, when he arrived at the ward, she was missing. Immediately, the meat bun in his hand no longer tastes good. Lin Qingqian was ced in the car by Jiang Yanshen when her cell phone rang. It was a call from Jiang Yunshen. When she picked up the call, she heard Jiang Yunshen shouting, ¡°Did that bastard kidnap you? Don¡¯t be anxious. I¡¯ll save you now.¡± Lin Qingqian nced at the bastard beside her and said indifferently, ¡°See you at the Jiang residence.¡± With that, she hung up. From the corner of her eye, she happened to catch a cold smile on the corner of Jiang Bastard Xiao Jiu¡¯s mouth. ¡°What are you smiling about?¡± she asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a smart and ruthless person like Jiang Chongjing to give birth to such a stupid son. I wonder if he¡¯s a bastard child that Wu Suyun secretly gave birth to with someone outside.¡± Jiang Yanshen leaned back in his chair rxedly and rubbed the corner of his mouth with his fingers. ¡°If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have needed Lu Yuan to mess with him. It¡¯s been a waste of my effort.¡± Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu, do you think that everyone in the world is stupid except for you?¡± Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her with a matter-of-fact expression. ¡°Isn¡¯t that so?¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® She suddenly wanted to apologize to Ah Yan. In the past, she had really wronged him by saying that it was difficult tomunicate with him. It was even more difficult tomunicate with this arrogant and self-centered person here! Jiang Yanshen blinked as if he was thinking about something. He said in aforting tone, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, even if the child inherits your intelligence, I won¡¯t mind. At least half of my intelligence is left.¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡°You don¡¯t have to be too touched. I¡¯m just¡­¡¯ Lin Qingqian felt her temples throbbing. She couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said, ¡°Shut up.¡± At the Jiang residence. The car slowly stopped. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to get out of the car, Jiang Yanshen had already bent down to carry her and turned to walk into the house. Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t struggle. She only frowned and said, ¡°I can walk by myself.¡± ¡°The doctor said that you have to recuperate.¡± Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and leaned closer as he walked, his dark eyes smiling. ¡°Or are you shy from being carried by me like a princess?¡± His warm breath sprayed on her face. Lin Qingqian turned her head to avoid it and said coldly, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that other than being arrogant, you¡¯re also so narcissistic.¡± Jiang Yanshen smiled and entered the house without exining. He ced Lin Qingqian on the sofa and Jiang Yanshen instructed the servants to heat up a ss of milk. ¡°I¡¯ll get the servants to tidy up the room you used to live in. I¡¯ll carry you back to your room to restter.¡± Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°I want to return to Begonia Courtyard.¡± Jiang Yanshen frowned. ¡°What¡¯s so good about that lousy ce? You¡¯re Madam Jiang, so you naturally should live in the Jiang residence. As for Li Gun, you don¡¯t have to worry. She won¡¯t be out for five to six years.¡± ¡°Even if shees out, I won¡¯t let here back.¡± ¡°That¡¯s my and Ah Yan¡¯s house,¡± Lin Qingqian said with a firm voice. ¡°Compared to Li Gun, I detest seeing you more.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened, and the corners of his mouth were still curled up casually. ¡°But you have to see me now. What should I do?¡± There was even a hint of bitchiness in his gentle voice. Lin Qingqian frowned and thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Let¡¯s get a divorce. The person I married wasn¡¯t you to begin with, and you don¡¯t like me either. After the divorce, you can ask anyone to be Madam Jiang!¡± The smile on Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lipspletely darkened as he stared at her sharply. ¡°Lin Qingqian, do you have a heart or not? Look at this face clearly¡­ You want to divorce me and let me marry another woman. Can you really be so ruthless?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s brows and eyes were calm as she said in a calm tone, ¡°Why can¡¯t I be ruthless? This isn¡¯t the first time I¡¯ve gotten a divorce. You can¡¯t possibly think that you¡¯re worth me spending the rest of my life with, right?¡± Her gentle voice was hurtful and cold. ¡°You¡ª¡± Jiang Yanshen stared at her delicate facial features, feeling angry, anxious, and helpless. Previously, she could divorce Jiang Yan, so she could naturally divorce him now. Moreover, she was no longer the little girl who had juste to Lan City and was isted and helpless!! If it really came to a divorce, he might not be able to keep her. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to see him anymore?¡± His thin lips pursed slightly, and his cold voice slowly sounded. Lin Qingqian was stunned. ¡°What did you say? Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips were cold as he snorted. ¡°Stop pretending. Shen Zhiwei has alreadv told vou that that Diece of trash hasn¡¯tpletelv disaDDeared. You want to see him, right?¡± ¡°You¡¯re spying on me,¡± Lin Qingqian said coldly. Jiang Yanshen didn¡¯t deny it. He bent down and squatted in front of her. He looked up at her with his dark eyes and threw out the bait. ¡°Be good and stay here to recuperate. I¡¯ll let you see him, okay?¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s curled eyshes trembled slightly, and a trace of suspicion shed past her eyes. ¡°Why?¡± His thin lips held a cold and charming smile. ¡°Because you¡¯re pregnant with my child. I want a happy Madam Jiang and a healthy son. As for that piece of trash.. Now that I¡¯ve regained control, letting him out once or twice won¡¯t change anything.¡± ¡°Why should I believe your words?¡± Lin Qingqian asked again. ¡°The entire Tianyue Group is under your control now. If I lie to you, you can kick me out in minutes, right?¡± Lin Qingqian lowered her eyes and pondered. ¡°As long as you listen obediently and be an obedient Madam Jiang to give birth to the child, I¡¯ll let hime out to see you.¡± Jiang Yanshen reached out to touch her hair, his fingertips wrapping around it. Lin Qingqian looked up at him. ¡°I can stay, but you have to agree to a few conditions. ¡± Jiang Yanshen nodded. ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Firstly, you¡¯re not allowed to interfere with my work. Be it Chen Mu or Song Qin, they can freely enter and leave the Jiang residence.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± He agreed without thinking. ¡°Secondly, you¡¯re not allowed to spread the news of our marriage. We¡¯re only married in name. From now on, you¡¯re not allowed to touch me without my permission.¡± ¡°No problem. Actually, you don¡¯t interest me either.¡± His frivolous eyes sized up her, disdain hiding the fleeting gloom in his eyes. Lin Qingqian ignored his words. ¡°Thirdly, don¡¯t touch Yunshen or anyone around me.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s thin lips curled up slightly as he sneered. ¡°You¡¯re really a good Sister-inw.¡± ¡°Do you agree?¡± Lin Qingqian frowned and questioned. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t give him the Tianyue Group, I guarantee that he will be safe and healthy and live a long life.¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take it that you¡¯ve agreed!¡± ¡°Since I agreed to your request, shouldn¡¯t it be my turn now?¡± Before Lin Qingqian could react, she heard him say, ¡°Although you don¡¯t interest me, you¡¯re still Madam Jiang. I hope you can behave yourself and be a good Madam Jiang. Whether it¡¯s Jiang Yunshen or that person with the surname Han, I hope you can keep a distance from them.¡± His skeletal fingers pinched her chin and he leaned over to speak in a low voice that only the two of them could hear¡ª ¡°If I see them touch you again, I¡¯ll let Fang Wu chop off their hands even if it¡¯s just a strand of hair!¡± His low and hoarse voice was murderous and evil, making Lin Qingqian¡¯s goosebumps rise. However, before she could speak, she heard Jiang Yunshen scolding at the door, ¡°Bastard, let go of my Sister-inw!!¡± Jiang Yanshen stood up and turned around. Before he could react, Jiang Yunshen had already punched his face. It happened too suddenly. He was unprepared and fell onto the sofa. After Jiang Yunshen pulled Lin Qingqian up to hide behind him, he said in a manly tone, ¡°Sister-inw, don¡¯t be afraid¡­ I¡¯ll protect you!¡± Lin Qingqian: ¡® Chapter 389 - 389: “Madam, The Flowers Planted By Sir Have Bloomed.â€� Chapter 389 - 389: ¡°Madam, The Flowers nted By Sir Have Bloomed.¡± Bloomed.¡± Trantor: Henyee Trantions Editor: Henyee Trantions ¡°Jiang Xiao Jiu!!¡± Lin Qingqian spoke in time. When she stood up, there seemed to be ice in her eyes. If this punchnded, it would definitely give him the momentum to turn hostile. ¡°F*ck.¡± Jiang Yanshen cursed and threw Jiang Yunshen away fiercely. He turned around and red at Lin Qingqian before turning to leave. Jiang Yunshen fell onto the sofa and got up to ask, ¡°Sister-inw, are you alright? That bastard didn¡¯t do anything to you, right?¡±
Lin Qingqian shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Why are you so impulsive?¡± Her faint tone was mixed with a hint of reproach. Jiang Yunshen¡¯s expression was a little unnatural as he scratched the back of his head. ¡°I¡¯m just worried about you!¡± Lin Qingqian swallowed her reprimanding words. She reached out to help him tidy his cor and said earnestly, ¡°You¡¯re not young anymore. You have to think twice before doing anything. Use your brain more.¡± Jiang Yunshen narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I can¡¯t tell that you¡¯re implying that I¡¯m brainless.¡± Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved. ¡°You can even tell? Not bad, you¡¯ve improved.¡± Jiang Yunshen: ¡® ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Lin Qingqian said in a light voice, ¡°I might live here for a period of time.¡± When Jiang Yunshen heard this, he immediately became anxious. ¡°How can this be? I¡­ ¡°Yunshen!¡± Lin Qingqian interrupted him. ¡°Do you still remember what Ah Yan told you?¡± ¡°I remember,¡± Jiang Yunshen muttered. ¡°What did he tell you?¡± Jiang Yunshen resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, ¡°In the future, you have to respect Sister-inw and protect her. Sister-inw is always right.¡± Lin Qingqian pursed her lips slightly, her clear eyes looking at him without any need for words. Jiang Yunshen took a deep breath. ¡°You¡¯ll really be fine?¡± Lin Qingqian nodded. ¡°Take good care of Tianyue Group¡¯s matters during this period of time. Don¡¯t embarrass me.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Jiang Yunshen replied in a muffled voice. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to thepany first. Call me if anything happens.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Lin Qingqian pushed his arm. ¡°Go quickly.¡± Jiang Yunshen turned around and walked towards the door. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at her, his eyes filled with worry. Lin Qingqian¡¯s lips curved into a reassuring smile. Only then did Jiang Yunshen put away his worries and strode out. Lin Qingqian turned around and was about to go upstairs when she looked up and met Jiang Yanshen¡¯s dark eyes. Thinking of his words, she said softly, ¡°He didn¡¯t touch me. I touched him.¡± Jiang Yanshen¡¯s lips curled into a mocking smile as he slowly walked down the stairs and stood in front of her. ¡°Help Madam upstairs to rest.¡± He spoke to the servant, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Qingqian. The servant walked over and helped Lin Qingqian upstairs. Jiang Yanshen stood on the spot and turned his head to look at her thin and weak figure. There was an indescribable frustration and anger in his heart. She treated everyone well, but she didn¡¯t treat him nicely¡­ Clearly, Jiang Yunshen had also not treated her well in the past. Why would she rather treat Jiang Yunshen well than give him any kindness¡­ His dark eyes were filled with almost twisted jealousy and ruthlessness. ¡°Sir¡­¡± Fang Wu walked over and said respectfully. Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses, and the light in his eyes returned to frivolousness and indifference. Fang Wu hesitated and asked, ¡°Are you really going to let Jiang Yane out?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± His throat moved, and he squeezed out a sneer. ¡°What do you think?¡± Without waiting for Fang Wu to answer, he answered his own question, ¡°Women are like dogs. They¡¯ll follow whoever gives her a bone. No matter how much she loves that trash now, she¡¯ll still forget him after some time. At that time, she¡¯ll do whatever I say.¡± His words were filled with dense disdain. Lin Qingqian returned to the room she had lived in for a few years. Her mood wasplicated and a little lost. In the past, she was unwilling to return to the Jiang residence because she had many unpleasant memories. Now, she was unwilling to return because there were many good memories of Ah Yan here. Jiang Yanshen got someone to redecorate her room, but only changed the bedsheets, nkets, and curtains. Everything else was kept. Lin Qingqian sat on the bed and could see the desk and bookshelf. There were also many novels she had bought when she was in school. At that time, she saw that the male and female leads in the novel were so in love that they hurt each other and separated because of various misunderstandings. She was extremely touched and evenined to Ah Yan about why the author wrote it like that. Ah Yan revealed a very understanding expression and said, ¡°Isn¡¯t the decision to read them or not in your own hands?¡± Why did she scold the author while reading? At that time, Lin Qingqian was so angry with him that she simply refused to talk to him anymore. She continued to read the novel and even cried when it came to the touching parts. Now that she thought about it, he was already very patient with her at that time. Lin Qingqian recalled the past and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she was woken up by her phone¡¯s ringtone. She narrowed her eyes and saw that it was a call from Suisui. She ced it to her ear. ¡°Hello, Suisui¡­¡± ¡°Qianqian, what¡¯s wrong??¡± Suisui¡¯s scream almost pierced her eardrums. She held the phone far away and waited for the scream to disappear before bringing it back to her ear. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you go on Weibo or read the news?¡± Suisui said anxiously. ¡°You¡¯re already on the trending searches.¡± Trending searches? Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. After hanging up the phone and logging into Weibo, she saw the entertainment news #Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian shatters the rumors of a breakup and lived together in a low profile manner#. The apanying photo was of Jiang Yanshen carrying her out of the car in the morning and lowering his head to talk to her. From the angle of the secret photo, it looked like he was kissing her. When she opened the trending searches, manyizens were discussing that these two people hadn¡¯t broken up. A while ago, themotion was just an instance of a young couple arguing. Now, Director Jiang had coaxed her. There were also manyizensining that these two were not even from the entertainment industry. What was the point of being on the trending searches every day and upying public resources? Lin Qingqian scrolled down. Several marketing ounts were praising their lovey-dovey rtionship. It was obvious that someone was doing it on purpose. She called Su Ying and asked her to remove the trending topic. Su Ying¡¯s actions were very fast. In less than 20 minutes, the trending topic was gone. Just as Lin Qingqian was about to log out of Weibo, the trending topics appeared again. Su Ying called and said that someone had bought the trending topic. Were they still going to try and suppress it now? There was no need to think to know who did such a childish thing. Lin Qingqian told her not to worry about it. There was no need to waste money to fight for glory. Without caring about it, the trending topic would lose its spot after a few hours. The poprity would also decrease in a day or two. Lin Qingqian was recuperating in bed at the Jiang residence. There were servants who sent her three meals a day into her room. Other than taking a shower and going to the bathroom, she basically would not get out of bed. Every day, when she had nothing to do, Lin Qingqian would read the news and look at the fashion design books that she had asked Chen Mu to bring over from Begonia Courtyard. Although she had been in the room every day during this period of time, she had also figured out Jiang Xiao Jiu¡¯s habits. He liked to drink and smoke. His three meals a day were irregr, and he only returnedte at night¡­ If he wasn¡¯t drunk, he woulde to the room to see her. Although he wouldn¡¯t say anything good every time, if he was drunk, Fang Wu would carry him back to his room. Every two nights a week, he would note back. At night, Lin Qingqian went to Jiang Yanshen¡¯s room to take a look when the servants were resting. Other than daily necessities, there was nothing else. There was not even the most basic medicine. No matter how useful Professor Morse¡¯s psychological interference was, it was impossible for him to not take medicine, unless¡­ The medicine wasn¡¯t with him. Lin Qingqian recuperated in the Jiang residence for more than half a month before Jiang Yanshen apanied her to the prenatal examination. The results of the prenatal checkup were very good. The doctor said that she did not need to stay in bed anymore. She could even go to work normally. However. she had to rest well and not be too tired. She had to Dav attention to her diet and nutrition. Jiang Yanshen was also very happy to hear the doctor¡¯s words and asked if it was a boy or a girl. The doctor was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to answer, he heard Lin Qingqian¡¯s voice. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say it. I don¡¯t want to know.¡± Jiang Yanshen looked at her unhappily. ¡°I like both boys and girls, so there¡¯s no need to know in advance,¡± Lin Qingqian said calmly. Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. ¡°It¡¯s easier to prepare baby supplies if you know the gender in advance.¡± ¡°Buy the same blue color. Both boys and girls can use it,¡± Lin Qingqian said casually, making up her mind not to know in advance. Seeing her insistence, Jiang Yanshen could not say anything else. On the way back, Jiang Yanshen crossed his legs and said, ¡°What do you think the child¡¯s name should be?¡± ¡°Lin Jianqing,¡± Lin Qingqian replied. Jiang Yanshen¡¯s eyes darkened slightly as he said calmly, ¡°This is a girl¡¯s name. Let¡¯s give it a boy¡¯s name.¡± Lin Qingqian didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Call him Lin Ye!¡± Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her with a casual smile. ¡°Ye, as in wild. My son must be wild!

Although Lin Qingqian was not around during this period of time, the auntie did not ck off. She managed Begonia Courtyard in an orderly manner and it was spotless. Seeing that Lin Qingqian had returned, the auntie was very happy. She held her hand and said, ¡°Madam, you¡¯re finally back. Second Young Master said that you¡¯ve returned to the Jiang residence to recuperate. I¡¯ve been worried.¡± Lin Qingqian could feel her heartfelt concern for her. The corners of her mouth curled up. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you for your concern.¡± The auntie smiled and did not say anything. Her gazended on the man at the door. Jiang Yanshen had just walked to the door when he saw the wedding photos hanging on the wall¡­ It was clearly her and him, but with one look, he knew that the man in the photos were not him. Lin Qingqian would never look at him with such gentle and affectionate eyes. Lin Qingqian caught the darkness in his eyes and ordered him to leave. ¡°I¡¯m home. Thank you.¡± Jiang Yanshen snorted coldly and nced at her before turning to leave¡­ Without a dark gaze on her, the auntie felt much more rxed.
