Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
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 placed it by his ear, and the smile on his lips instantly froze.
A moment later, 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 suddenly come back?”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Yanshen shook his head. “It might be because of her birthday, or it might be because of Li Guilan.”
Previously, Li Guilan’s matter had caused a storm in the city. The old lady was in Jiang City, and Jiang Yanshen had given a strict order not to let the news of it spread to the old lady.
The old lady didn’t know at the moment, but after so long, it was hard to guarantee that the news wouldn’t leak and the old lady would hear some rumors.
When Lin Qingqian thought of how good the old lady 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 glanced at the cactus on his desk, her eyes bright. ‘Why do you have a pot of cactus like mine?”
Some cacti looked similar, 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 the last 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 black shadow suddenly jumped out— “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 plain 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 triangular eye.
His eyes were sharp and cold. When he stared at someone, it made one feel uncomfortable.
For example, at this moment, when Lin Qingqian met his gaze, she felt a strong sense of discomfort.
His gaze moved away from Lin Qingqian and landed 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 flashed 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 relatively calm.
Wu Suyun revealed a gentle smile. “With your relationship 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 glared at his father. “Dad, don’t you know Big Brother’s temper? Since you decided to come back, you should have expected it. Why are you still venting your anger on Mom?”
“How dare you!” Jiang Chongjing’s triangular eyes stared at him coldly. “Is this how you talk to your father?”
“It’s clearly you—”
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 glanced at Jiang Chongjing and then at his mother, who had compromised. 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 old lady. 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 glared 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 old lady 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 time comes, 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 glanced 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 old lady 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 old lady muttered a curse in her heart. She maintained a composed 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 old lady was thinking. “It’s all up to Grandma.”
Old Madam Jiang glared at him. “Are you blaming 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 place, 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 eyelashes and pursed his thin lips without saying anything..
