Chapter 575

575 Miss Shi’s heartache

Amy had told her that Xuan Siyun was going to visit Yanyun Manor in the afternoon, but Shi Yan’s answer was no.

He didn’t expect Xuan Siyun to still be waiting at the gate after five or six hours.

this perseverance, this flexible mind was not something ordinary people could have. he didn’t know what xuan siyun was up to.

well, in fact, she might have guessed xuan siyun’s intention for lowering her status and visiting.

“no, i won’t.” shi yan leaned against the back seat lazily. ” back to nanwan road. ”

Nanwan road was where Jiang Che’s private Manor was located.

it was not even ten o ‘clock when shi yan returned to jiang che’s manor. logically speaking, jiang che should not be resting at this time. however, when she arrived at the main building, the entire building was dark.

The main building usually only housed her and Jiang che.

shi yan didn’t expect jiang che to be away.

...

He pushed open the door and walked into the living room on the first floor. Without turning on the lights, he looked around the dark living room and went up to the second floor according to his memory.

The second floor was also pitch black.

however, shi yan had adapted to the environment and was very familiar with it, so she could see everything. it didn’t take her much effort to get to their bedroom.

The bedroom door was closed, but it wasn’t tightly closed. There was a gap. she peeked into the bedroom through the crack, but there was no light in the bedroom.

It was all dark and quiet.

he gently pushed the bedroom door open.

unsurprisingly, there was no one in the bedroom.

However, Shi Yan did not leave. She entered the bedroom, closed the door, and looked up at the balcony.

the balcony and the bedroom were separated by floor-to-ceiling windows. the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were half open, and he could see a little outline of the balcony from the faint light outside. he could not see anyone.

however, the glass door leading to the balcony was open.

It was obvious where he was.

...

shi yan put down her bag and walked toward the balcony.

as she walked closer, she could see the situation on the balcony clearly.

Under the moonless night sky, a man was standing on the balcony with his back facing her. He was only wearing a thin white shirt. The weather in the capital city had not warmed up yet, not to mention that it was night time, and the temperature outside was even lower.

He didn’t seem to notice that Shi Yan had returned, but Shi Yan saw a lit cigarette in his right hand.

he put his hands on the balcony railing and lit a cigarette without smoking.

It was also possible that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to smoke, but that he was thinking about something at this moment. Shi Yan vaguely saw an ashtray on the balcony fence with several cigarette butts in it.

usually, outsiders were not allowed to have sex. the maker of these cigarette butts could only be jiang che himself, and shi yan had never seen him smoke since he was with jiang che.

She had smoked so much in just a short time without being by his side.

shi yan sighed softly in her heart and walked to the balcony.

“mr. jiang.”

her voice was very soft, but jiang che still heard her.

...

He turned around and seemed to be stunned for a moment. “why did you come back? Didn’t you say that you’d go there in advance to make preparations?”

shi yan had indeed told jiang che that she would go to yanyun manor one night in advance to prepare for the banquet tomorrow.

“Don’t you welcome me back?”

“Of course not.” jiang che quickly denied.

She seemed to have just realized that there was a lit cigarette in her hand, and she quickly put it out in the ashtray. “i’m sorry. i thought you wouldn’t be back tonight, so i made it smell like smoke.”

he was a noble young master, and this kind of dispirited and lazy posture with a cigarette between his fingers was really not quite the same as his usual image.

however, shi yan did not find it strange at all.

It wasn’t like she had never seen Jiang che like this.

back at crescent bay, after she fell asleep one night, jiang che stood by the window with an unlit cigarette between his fingers. at that time, he was in a similar state as he was now.

Shi Yan didn’t respond to his words. She slowly walked to him, tiptoed, and wrapped her arms around his neck to hug him.

don’t hug me. I smell like smoke. I don’t want to suffocate you.

...

Jiang che raised his hand and was about to push her away, but Shi Yan spoke first.

She buried her face in his neck, the tip of her nose gently rubbing his neck. “i don’t mind you.”

jiang che, who had just smoked, not only had a familiar fresh scent on him, but there was also the smell of cigarettes. Shi Yan didn’t like the smell of cigarettes, but she didn’t find it unpleasant when it came to Jiang che.

hearing her say this, jiang che’s hand that was about to push her away paused for a moment before it wrapped around her waist instead.

He rubbed his chin on the top of her head and said, ” “I don’t have a smoking addiction.”

“I know,” needless to say, she knew that they had been together for so long and they were together almost every day. she had never seen him smoke even once, so how could he be addicted?

she knew that today was an exception. otherwise, she would not have broken her plan and come back.

When she decided to go to Yanyun Manor in advance to prepare, she didn’t know that Jiang che would return to the Jiang family today. she had originally planned to come back with him after dinner, but xie xingran asked her out.

of course, she could totally reject xie xingran’s invitation to accompany jiang che, but she didn’t do so. There was no special reason. She just felt that Jiang che probably needed to be alone for a while more.

Jiang che would not want her to see this slightly dispirited side of him that was different from before.

She would only let him be alone for a while. She wouldn’t let him be alone for an entire night, so she came back.

...

no matter how capable fifth lord jiang was, he was only 25 years old.

she didn’t care about many things and didn’t seem to be so enthusiastic about family, but was that really the case?

she and jiang che were the same kind of people, so even if some things were not said clearly, or even revealed in front of others, she could understand him.

“aren’t you cold standing here wearing so little?”

She raised her head slightly from his neck and looked at him, her tone slightly reproachful.”There’s a cold Qi in my body.”

“i’m not cold,” he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. ” let go of me first. i’ll take a shower to get rid of the smell of smoke on me before i let you carry me. ”

How could he not know the reason why she had changed her plan and come back?

she sighed in her heart at how sharp this young lady was. from the time he went to the shi family’s house to the time they had dinner together until they parted, he did not reveal any emotions that were different from the past, but she still noticed it.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to remain completely unmoved.

it was not a cloudy night, but there was no moon. the sky was gray. Under the faint light of the night, Shi Yan looked at him with her arms around Jiang Che’s neck.

His face was still perfect and flawless, but his usual deep and calm eyes were a little different from usual. However, they were not the misty peach blossom eyes, but a state that Shi Yan had never seen before.

...

She couldn’t tell what kind of state she was in, but Shi Yan felt a little distressed as she looked at her.

“no rush.” she said.

then, she lifted her head and kissed him on the lips.

It was really a light kiss.

Little by little, she seemed to be comforting him, as if she was trying to pass on all her emotions to him. She wanted him to clearly feel that it was fine if there was no one else around, and that she would always be by his side.

Jiang che didn’t push her away, nor did he fight for the initiative with her. Instead of holding her waist with one hand, he wrapped his arms around her so that she wouldn’t have to exert so much effort.

This state didn’t last long, and soon the two of them were kissing.
