353 chapter 353 making oneâs heart ache for no reason
When he received Shi boxiangâs call in the morning, he probably didnât know about this, but it was hard to say that he didnât know about it now.
If he had known, Shi boxiao would have mentioned it to miss Shi if he called her now.
âYanyan, youâre not sleeping, are you?â
She was a little tired and Jiang che had stopped working. Shi Yan simply couldnât be bothered to put her phone to her ear. She turned on the speaker and placed it on her lap, so Jiang che could hear Shi Boxinâs voice clearly.
âno, i didnât,â
âjiang che told me about second brotherâs phone call this morning. second aunt has indeed come to haicheng. didnât i send second brother a message about this? you didnât see it?â
On the day qu Xuan went to school to look for her, Shi Yan had texted Shi boxiao and mentioned that qu Xuan wanted to see him.
â yes, i did. but iâve been busy these few days and i was afraid that you would be resting when i was free. i thought of you today and thought that it was the weekend, so i had the time to call you. â
âMy mom ... Went to school to look for you?â
âYes.â
âdid she give you any trouble?â
Shi Yan said helplessly,âsecond brother, second aunt is your mother. How can you look at your own mother like this?â Besides, why would second Shen make things difficult for me?â
âOf course I know itâs not good to think of my biological mother like that. My mother has a criminal record.â
That year, not only did he force Yanyan to leave home, but he also blamed Yanyan for him running away from home. Even if he didnât know the situation at that time, he could guess that when Yanyan personally called him to persuade him to go home, they must have said a lot of unpleasant things to her.
âsecond brother, hehe.â
Just as she was about to speak, Shi Bozhen interrupted, â âyou donât have to put in a good word for them. a mistake is a mistake.â
if it was someone else her age, they would probably resent her for life.
â i have a brand promotion event in the morning the day after tomorrow. the director has adjusted my scenes. the day after tomorrow, when the promotion ends, iâll be free in the afternoon. let my mom know and we can have dinner together. â
Shi boxiang could have contacted qu Xuan himself, but he didnât. He wanted Shi Yan to be the middleman and let the second branch know that without Shi Yan, they couldnât contact him at all and understand Shi Yanâs importance.
âalright,â he said.
third Grandpa should still be in Haicheng, â Shi Bozhen said after some hesitation. if youâre willing, you can ask him to come along.
Shi Yan knew that Shi Jinlei was still in Haicheng.
just yesterday, shi bochen had sent her a message to tell her that shi jinlei was hosting a private meal with professor li.
shi bochen was not present, so he did not know what they had said. shi yan did not probe further either.
she did not need to probe further to guess why shi jinlei was meeting professor li.
It was nothing more than an official visit to her teacher as an elder, and perhaps she would ask professor li about her past years.
Professor li did not know much about her. Even if he did, he was someone who knew his limits. She was not worried that professor li would tell Shi Jinlei anything.
Besides, she didnât have anything to hide. She said it, so it didnât matter.
âAlright,â he said.
seeing that jiang che was looking at her with a complicated look in his eyes, she paused and asked shi boxin, â âdoes second brother have anything else to say?â
âno, iâll tell you when iâve booked a place. you can tell my mom. itâs late, rest early.â
âSecond brother, you too. Rest early.â
After hanging up, Shi Yan looked at Jiang che curiously and asked, â âWhy are you looking at me like that? Do you have something to say?â
The way he looked at her just now was a little complicated. She thought that he knew what Shi Bozhen had to say and that those words might affect her, so he was worried.
jiang che stared at her for a moment, then placed the computer in front of him on the coffee table. he gently carried her over and sat her on his lap.
âi do have something to say.â
Shi Yan was slightly stunned by his solemness.
She closed the book in her hand and waited for him to continue.
âIâve received some news.â jiang che said.
As he spoke, he wrapped one hand around her back and the other around her waist, holding her in a protective posture.
His expression and tone were solemn.
Shi Yan wasnât a stupid person. He was so serious, as if he was afraid that she would be affected. She had already guessed this news.
He subconsciously tightened his grip on the book in his hand.
âwhat news?â
She would find out sooner or later. Rather than letting her find out from somewhere else, it would be better for him to tell her personally. At least, he would be by her side and could comfort her in time.
âYour mother came to Haicheng yesterday. Sheâs with the SU family now.â
as soon as he finished speaking, jiang che clearly felt the little girl in his arms stiffen.
Jiang che only told her the news and didnât intend to say much.
seeing her freeze, his expression was slightly startled.
Sighing in his heart, he took the book from her hand and put it aside. Then, he held her waist with both hands and lifted her gently, making her sit on his lap instead of sitting sideways.
He wrapped his arms around her waist. Ms. Shi, the air conditioner is off. Itâs a little cold at night. Can you give me a hug? â
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment. She raised her hands and hugged him tightly, burying her face in his neck. âMr. Jiang, youâre so delicate,â she said in a muffled voice after a few seconds.
Jiang che looked down at her and stroked her long hair. He softly replied, â âyes, iâm very delicate, so ms. shi, you have to hold me tightly.â
She hugged him even tighter.
she just buried her head in his neck and didnât speak.
she didnât speak, and jiang che didnât make a sound either. he only held her tightly and gently stroked her long hair.
after a long while, a muffled voice came from his neck.âJiang che.â
âWhat?â
He didnât stop her from talking.
jiang che didnât rush him and waited quietly.
After a while, her muffled voice came again, â âi feel a little uncomfortable.â
âit shouldnât be like this. i didnât feel bad in the past, so i donât know why itâs like this now. This isnât a big deal. Iâve never cared about this.â
âMiss Shi, Iâm here.â He hugged her tighter.
in front of me, you donât have to control your emotions at all. If youâre happy, youâre happy. If youâre sad, youâre sad. Iâll be by your side. What are you afraid of? â
The person in his arms did not say anything, but hugged him even tighter.
She wasnât someone who would cry. At least until now, Jiang che had never seen her cry.
At this moment, he felt that his neck was a little wet and hot.
There was no sound, only the hot and wet drops of water falling on his neck.
Jiang Cheâs heart ached.
â miss shi, this is the only time. my heart wonât be able to take it if it happens again. â
No one said anything after that. Jiang che held her in his arms until she fell asleep, then he carried her back to the room.
He gently tucked her in, got up, and went to the bathroom to get a handkerchief, dipped it in hot water, and wiped her face. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Jiang Zhiâs eyes were full of love.
His actions were very light.
After wiping her face, he leaned over and planted a kiss on her eyes.
as expected of miss shi. even though she could not hold back her emotions, she did not cry or shout. for nearly an hour, she did not even make a sound. she only silently wet his collar.
How old is she? why is she so strong?
It made oneâs heart ache for no reason.
