“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 placed 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She naturally could not remember the name of the perfume from a few years ago, but it didn’t smell outdated.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 after coming 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 his computer 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 fragrance coming 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 black 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 spatula in her hand. “It’s… it’s burnt…”
Jiang Yanshen let go of her and saw from the corner of his eye that the smoke coming out of the pot was black.
Lin Qingqian hurriedly turned off the fire and glared at him. “What’s wrong with you?”
Jiang Yanshen laughed even after being scolded. He leaned gently against the washstand behind him, his black 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 to come out of her mouth and glared 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 to come 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 Guilan went to the hospital to look for Granny.”
When Lin Qingqian heard this, she knew that it must be something bad. Li Guilan 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 flattered.
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 Internet, she found out that many people had seen Li Guilan causing a scene in the hospital last night.
The public relations department of the Tianyue Group tried their best to suppress it, but the news online was like a wildfire that couldn’t be completely wiped out. It was very difficult to completely 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 to come over now.” Jiang Yanshen’s voice was slightly hoarse. “I’ll find time to go over later.”
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 Zhiwei come to my place? They know our relationship 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 to come over at night.
In order to make it easier for them, she specially went online to buy a recliner that was delivered that day and laid out a beige blanket.
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 glass 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 her computer 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 hour later, the door opened gently.
Lin Qingqian stood up and turned her head to see Shen Zhiwei coming 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 and companionship 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 up later. 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 floor lamp barely illuminated the room.
Jiang Yanshen lay 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 blanket on the bed to gently cover him.
Perhaps sensing the warmth, Jiang Yanshen moved and instinctively wrapped the thin blanket 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 Guilan and Jiang Chongjing, what are they going to do to him!
Her slender fingers landed 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, she lay 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 black 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 flashed 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!”
