” even i’ve heard that for the past half a year, the capital has been trying to find out more about lord fifth. i’m afraid that after lord fifth left, they finally realized that they were not capable enough to take on such a big responsibility and want to invite lord fifth back. ”
as she said this, aunt wan snorted.”why don’t you think about it, how can fifth lord be someone who can be summoned and waved away at their will!”
“You’re right, old fifth’s matters are not something that others can casually interfere with.”
as she said that, the old lady looked at aunt wan with a complicated expression.”but ah wan, you’re not young anymore, why are you still so immature? look at you, you’re so angry!”
Aunt Wan also knew that she had lost her composure just now and smiled in embarrassment.
the old lady looked at the courtyard wall beside her. on the other side of the wall was shi yan’s courtyard.
” let’s not be paranoid here, ” he said. ” maybe the two people involved don’t even care about what we think is trouble. ”
And that was indeed the case.
shi yan and jiang che indeed didn’t take this seriously.
The two of them never had such a worry.
they only cared about the person in front of them.
shi yan woke up a few minutes after xiao zhao left.
her eyelashes fluttered, but before she could open her eyes, her entire body froze.
It wasn’t just because she realized that she was lying on Jiang Che’s lap, but also because she clearly felt Jiang Che’s hand holding her face through her ear!
The palm on her cheek was warm.
She didn’t dare to open her eyes.
Just as she was struggling to open her eyes, she heard Jiang Che’s voice from above, ” “miss shi, you’re awake?”
he realized that she was awake and could no longer pretend to be asleep.
it was bad enough that she was sleeping on his lap, but how could she sleep so deeply?
Well, except for the one or two times she had insomnia recently, she seemed to have been sleeping well.
her eyelashes fluttered, and she pretended to have just woken up as she opened her eyes.
her eyes met his.
it was obvious that he had been staring at her just now.
when their eyes met, he still had one hand on the back of her head and the other on her cheek, as if he had no intention of taking his hand away.
shi yan’s heart beat faster.
what kind of reaction should she have at this time?
shi yan didn’t know. she was a little confused and couldn’t stay calm.
just as she was thinking about it, she saw jiang che’s lips curl up slightly. ” “miss shi, you don’t recognize me anymore?”
He sat up abruptly.
She casually grabbed her hair and sat up straight, not daring to look at Jiang che. “i’m sorry, i slept on mr. jiang’s lap for such a long time.”
Her cheeks were red.
jiang zhi looked at her with a smile in her eyes. ” i was the one who made miss shi take a nap. i should be the one apologizing to miss shi for my lack of manners. ”
Seeing Shi Yan look at him disapprovingly, as if she was about to take responsibility, Jiang che said, ” “miss shi, my legs are a little numb.”
Shi Yan quickly stood up and said,”should I help teacher Jiang up and walk around?” i’m really sorry, i actually slept for so long.”
“miss shi just said not long ago that she wouldn’t regard me as an outsider.”
when shi yan met his eyes, she suddenly calmed down.
it was so unlike her to be so flustered just now.
Just as he said, she had said not long ago that she would not treat him as an outsider, but it was indeed inappropriate for her to keep apologizing to him after she woke up from her afternoon nap.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Jiang che said, ” “there’s no need for that. i’ll just need to borrow miss shi’s hand to give me a hand.”
Shi Yan, who had already calmed down, was stunned for a few seconds when she saw his outstretched hand. She smiled and reached out to hold his hand.
she tried to pull him up, but he didn’t.
Instead, he grabbed her hand.
he only held her for a short while, and let go after a few seconds.
he had already retracted his hand and smiled at her. ” “i’m just lying to you, ms. shi. my legs are not numb.”
Shi Yan stared at his face and withdrew her hand in a daze.
He said he was lying to her, but he was actually teasing her!
Such a person like an orchid branch and Jade Tree actually knew how to tease people!
when she retracted her hand, her fingertips seemed to still have the warmth of his palm.
This person …
she had just calmed down.
jiang che didn’t avoid her gaze and met it with his usual expression. ” ” miss shi, when you were sleeping just now, i saw that your hair was tied up. i was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to sleep well, so i helped you untie it. ”
He handed her the hairband that he had taken off.
shi yan grabbed her long hair that was scattered over her shoulders and found that her hair was untied.
She was really in a deep sleep. She didn’t even notice that he was helping her untie her hair.
“thank you, mr. jiang.” she smiled and took the hairband.
“I’m glad that miss Shi doesn’t think I’m being rude,”
“I won’t,”
“Didn’t I say before that I wouldn’t treat you as an outsider, teacher Jiang?” since you’re not treating me as an outsider, why is there a need to use the word ‘impolite’ for such a small matter?”
“Yes, we don’t need to.”
jiang che’s gaze fell on the book at the side and he asked, ” “Ms. Shi, do you want to Continue reading in the house or go out for a walk?”
Shi Yan looked out the door. let’s go out for a walk. The sun isn’t so hot anymore. It’s a good time to wake up.
“Mr. Jiang, let’s have dinner together tonight.” She looked at him again.
she saw jiang che staring at her.
“i’ll go to the kitchen in the main building to make a few dishes later,” shi yan continued with a faint smile.
“No need,”
“miss shi, i’m the one who’s wooing you. i should be the one inviting you to dinner. how can i let you speak first? since i’m the one who invited you to dinner, there’s no reason for you to cook.”
Just as Shi Yan was about to speak, he guessed what she was going to say and beat her to it. “i know that miss shi wants to say that i don’t need to treat you as an outsider. i’m not treating you as an outsider.”
“i’m looking forward to miss shi’s cooking, but not today.”
“if it’s possible, i hope that miss shi won’t cook for me in the two months that i’m pursuing her. as for two months later, when ms. shi is free or suddenly wants to cook, she can cook a few simple dishes, but she doesn’t have to cook every meal herself.”
it would be a lie to say that shi yan was not touched by his words.
he was clearly telling her that he was looking for a girlfriend, not a cook. he wanted to tell her that she was his girlfriend not to suffer.
it was clearly very ordinary words, but it was also very ordinary and trivial.
after a moment of surprise, she smiled and said,”mr. jiang, it’s just a matter of cooking a few dishes. it’s not a difficult thing.” I’ve been living alone all these years, and I’ve been cooking for myself most of the time. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I like to cook, but I’m happy to cook for you.”
hearing her gentle words, jiang che’s heart trembled.
he looked at her smiling face, and there seemed to be thousands of emotions surging in his eyes. they were very strong and aggressive.
The moment Shi Yan was startled, everything returned to calmness without any ripples.
his smile was calm and warm. ” miss shi, if you keep saying such things, i’m afraid i won’t be able to last two days, let alone two months. ”
Although he seemed to be joking, Shi Yan knew he was serious.
“then let’s do it.”
just as she was about to speak, he gently interrupted her, ” “miss shi, i really want to hug you now, but i don’t dare to. do you know why?”
