Chapter 45: Who’s going to the winery

Translator: 549690339

jiang rui and jiang heng didn’t stay at shi yan’s place for long. they left after having breakfast and sitting for a while, afraid that shi yan would delay her matters if she stayed to entertain them.

after they left, shi yan didn’t go upstairs. she took a book and sat in the living room, reading it as if she was waiting for someone.

it was not until around 9:20 that xiao zhao ran back.

“miss shi, i’ve got someone to buy the things you wanted.”

shi yan had asked xiao zhao to buy it for her yesterday.

little zhao wanted to take care of her, so he naturally didn’t buy it himself. there were people in charge of going out to buy things every day in the old house, so little zhao asked them to help buy it.

she saw xiao zhao entering the house with a small plastic bag in her hand. the plastic bag contained the things that shi yan wanted.

“Miss Shi, why do you suddenly want to buy medicine for burns? Are you scalded? Moreover, there are some commonly used medicines in every courtyard of the old mansion. We have some in our courtyard too. There’s some in the medicine box for burns.”

Xiao Zhao had wanted to say these words when Shi Yan called her last night and asked her to buy some ointment for burns.

“This is more effective,” Shi Yan stood up and took it.

she took out the ointment and looked at it. it was indeed what she wanted.

just as little zhao had said, every courtyard of the jiang family’s old mansion had some common medicine. the courtyard where fifth lord jiang lived, who was in poor health and needed to recuperate all year round, would definitely have these common medicines. what she lacked was not medicine for burns, but medicine with relatively better efficacy.

” i’m not hurt anywhere, don’t worry, sister zhao. i just suddenly remembered that this burn medicine is quite effective, so i bought it for later. ”

She had a good reason, mainly because little Zhao couldn’t think of a more reasonable one. He scratched his head and said, ” alright, then Ms. Shi, if you need anything else in the future, just let me know. I’ll get someone to buy it for you.

“Okay, thank you, sister Zhao.”

“i’m done here. sister zhao, you can go and do your things.”

Xiao Zhao knew that she wanted to read and that he would disturb her if he stayed, so he did not stay any longer.

after she left, shi yan put down her book and went out with the ointment and mobile phone.

He went straight in the direction of the bamboo garden.

it was almost ten in the morning.

The morning air was very fresh after the rain at the end of summer. Shi Yan didn’t know if it was because she was in a good mood or something else, but she felt that the view of the Jiang family’s old mansion seemed more beautiful than ever.

flowers bloomed, the wind blew, birds were chirping, and cicadas were chirping.

They walked under the weeping willows by the Lotus pond and through the stone path in the bamboo forest.

occasionally, there would be fallen leaves falling with the wind, but it did not appear desolate.

In the past, Shi Yan liked to walk around in the courtyard when she had nothing to do. When she was tired from walking, she would find a quiet place to read. The people in the Jiang family’s old mansion were used to it, so even if they met some people on the road, they would not wonder where she was going, let alone guess that she was going to Bamboo Garden.

after greeting him, he hurriedly walked past.

Although these people would gossip in private, they were very well-behaved in front of each other. Shi Yan liked the atmosphere of the Jiang family’s old residence very much.

The servants had their own duties and did not overstep the boundaries.

of course, this was all because of old lady jiang’s management skills.

the doorbell rang.

even though the bamboo garden’s main gate was designed as a wooden door, it was fully equipped with all the modern facilities. For example, when the doorbell rang, the people in the house could see the people outside through the surveillance camera.

“Miss Shi Yan!”

it was jiang lin’s voice from the surveillance camera. it was not difficult to hear the excitement in his voice.

“Hello, is teacher Jiang here?” shi yan asked softly.

“yes, i’m here. please come in, miss shi yan!”

after saying this, the courtyard door in front of shi yan opened.

yes, even if the gate was a wooden one, it was still automatic.

in the room, jiang lin, who had opened the door for shi yan, immediately turned around and ran upstairs. he knocked on the door of the study on the second floor.

“Fifth Lord, miss Shi Yan is here!”

Jiang Lin was so excited that it was as if the other party had come to find him.

when jiang che, who was sitting behind the desk, heard jiang lin’s words, his hand on the computer keyboard paused and he looked up abruptly. ” “Who do you think is here?”

Jiang che couldn’t be blamed for being surprised. He had expected to see Shi Yan soon, but he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

he looked at the computer screen. it was 9:53.

it was so early.

With Shi Yan’s introverted personality, Jiang che really didn’t expect her to visit so early. He thought that the next opportunity to meet her would be created by himself, but he didn’t expect to be one step slower than her.

“Miss Shi Yan, she should be entering the house soon.”

Jiang che didn’t say anything more. He got up and left the study.

Jiang Lin, who was following behind him, looked at his slightly brisk steps and smiled strangely.

he didn’t expect that the fifth lord, who had always been calm and didn’t reveal his emotions, would be no different from ordinary young people when he met the girl he liked.

But this was good.

it had been three years, and he finally saw lord fifth’s lively appearance.

oh, no, it should be said that after following fifth lord for so many years, he finally saw fifth lord start to have some fresh emotions. he no longer had the indifferent and gentle appearance of having no desires.

Jiang che did not know what Jiang Lin was thinking.

he went straight downstairs after leaving the study.

as soon as she went downstairs, she saw shi yan stepping into the living room.

she was wearing a light blue long dress, and her long black hair was let down. the long dress in a lady’s style had a hint of fairy-like air, and her gentle temperament was otherworldly and elegant.

With a smile, the surroundings were overshadowed.

This was the Shi Yan in Jiang Che’s eyes.

He came back to his senses and stood on the stairs. He was the first to speak.”miss shi.”

Shi Yan looked up.

he was still dressed in his usual white shirt and black suit pants, but no matter how many times she had seen him, this person’s appearance and temperament would still make shi yan amazed.

“mr. jiang.”

After staring at him for a short while, Shi Yan retracted her gaze. Her expression was indifferent the whole time. Even when she was sizing him up for a few seconds just now, her eyes were open and honest, making it impossible for others to see through her heart.

“ms. shi, please take a seat in the living room.”

he didn’t ask why shi yan had come.

“Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang che stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

shi yan handed over the ointment in her hand. ” i asked sister zhao to help me buy a backup medicine. she bought an extra ointment for burns. it’s quite effective, so she wanted to send one over for mr. jiang as a backup. ”

jiang che’s gaze fell on the ointment she was holding.

he stared at her for about half a minute before looking up at her.

There seemed to be a myriad of emotions surging in his eyes, but it was only for a moment before he quickly suppressed them.

“thank you,” he said as he reached out his left hand.

the hand that received the ointment tightened slightly.

“miss shi, have you had breakfast?”

“i’ve eaten.”

miss Shi, please stay for lunch at the bamboo garden. I’ll take it as a token of my gratitude since you personally brought me the medicine.

His gentle expression was serious, as if he really just wanted to express his gratitude.

“won’t this be too much of a disturbance, teacher jiang?” shi yan looked at him and smiled.

“i won’t,”

“Miss Shi, please have a seat. I’ll make you a cup of tea,” he said to Shi Yan.

the tea was served quickly. ” ms. shi, please take a seat here for a moment. i’ll go to the study to get the computer. there’s a document that needs to be handled immediately. ”

Of course, this was just an excuse.

looking at the bookshelf over there, jiang che said, ” “Ms. Shi, if you want to read, you can take any of the books on the shelf over there.”

” okay, mr. jiang, if you have something to do, just go ahead and do it. you don’t have to worry about me. as long as i have books to read, i can sit quietly for the whole day. ”

watching jiang che’s back as he turned to go upstairs, shi yan smiled.

He was in poor health and had to recuperate at home for three years. He still had documents to deal with. Wanwan heard from the old lady that Jiang che used to be a doctor and worked in the capital.

Could it be that the documents he had to deal with were related to medicine?

Shi Yan didn’t believe it.

But whether she believed it or not, she didn’t intend to ask.

What kind of person he was, whether he was a doctor or something else, even if he was unemployed, it would not change the fact that she wanted him to be hers.

in less than five minutes, jiang che came down from upstairs.

He was holding a laptop in his hand.

When Jiang che went downstairs, Shi Yan had already gotten up and found a book on the bookshelf. She was about to take it and read it when she turned around and saw Jiang che coming downstairs.

and jiang che’s right hand, which had two more band-aids.

shi yan’s eyes paused.

She had noticed that Jiang che had brought the ointment with him when he went upstairs just now. She had thought that he would put it aside first before using the Kasaya at a later date.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

he couldn’t help but laugh.

It was good.

Jiang che saw her gaze land on his right hand and the corners of his lips curled up into a subtle arc, but it disappeared in a flash.

He looked at the book in her hand and said, ” I remember that miss Shi said that you like to read. I’m sure you’ve read a lot of books. I want to buy some books in the afternoon. I wonder if you can give me some advice? ”

“in the afternoon?” shi yan was slightly stunned.

did she have other plans in the afternoon?

“Miss Shi, do you have any other arrangements?”

Jiang che asked as he walked towards the sofa, as if he was just asking.

He was no longer sitting on the single sofa, but on the Changsha sofa that Shi Yan was sitting on. The place where he sat was only one person’s distance from where Shi Yan’s teacup was placed.

shi yan glanced at where he was sitting. her eyes flickered and she walked over.

“I do have some other arrangements. Rui ‘er said that young master Jiang’s friend has a winery opening today, so she asked me to go and play with him. if teacher jiang is not in a hurry to buy the books, can you wait until tomorrow? I don’t have any plans for tomorrow.”

jiang che only caught the first half of her sentence.

He suddenly looked up at her.

at that time, she was standing and he was sitting, so they were not far away.

“Opening of the winery?”

Shi Yan nodded.

“A winery opened by Jiang Sheng’s friend?”

“rui ‘er said so.”

“Besides miss Shi and Jiang Rui, who else will go?” he stared at shi yan with an indescribable emotion.

Shi Yan blinked and looked at him with a smile. I’m not sure. Rui ‘er only said that many of her brother’s friends will be there. She’s going to introduce some people to me. She said that she wants to get to know more people so that I can look out for them in Haicheng in the future.

then, shi yan met jiang che’s gaze.

his deep eyes seemed to have an unknown light.

He just stared at her without saying a word.

Shi Yan tried hard to suppress the curve of her lips and asked with a faint smile,”What’s wrong, Mr. Jiang? Is there something wrong?”

Jiang che stared at her for a few more seconds before looking away. He turned on the computer on his lap and lowered his eyes, not looking at her again.”There’s nothing wrong with it. Have a good time, miss Shi.”

Shi Yan looked at him, tilted her head, pursed her lips, and chuckled, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

“thank you,” he said seriously.

then, she sat down in her original seat and glanced at jiang che, who had already turned on the computer and started typing on the keyboard. as if she was afraid of disturbing him, she didn’t make a sound and opened the book in her hand.

in fact, shi yan didn’t say anything because she was afraid of disturbing jiang che’s work. her silence at this time showed that she didn’t see through his thoughts.

Even if she were to suffer in silence, she would not be the one suffering.

As for the person who was suffering, she was looking forward to what he would do after he couldn’t bear the suffering anymore.
