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 hour later, 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 clapped 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 played 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 glanced 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 placed 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 a large 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, come and watch with me.”

Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before putting the things away on the plate. 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 blanket 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 eyelashes covered his eyes quietly, like a sleeping prince.

Lin Qingqian turned off the iPad and placed 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 floor lamp 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 accentuated her snow-white skin. Her clear eyes under her curly eyelashes were focused on the sketch and she didn’t notice that he had woken up.

There was a bedroom, a lamp, 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 black 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 black 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 silently comforted 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 becoming 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 plain 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 eyelashes 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 blanket 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 planted 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 relax 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 flame flickered like a red star.

He finally stopped coughing and stared at the fire with his black 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 a comeback.

The cigarette between his fingers burned out and singed his fingers. He let go belatedly. 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 black shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his good-looking wrists. He plucked two large 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 black 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 plant 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?”
