Lin Qingqian didnt answer. Her clear eyes widened as she quietly sized up him for a moment and asked curiously, “Are you really Jiang Yanshen? Not Jiang Xiao Jiu? You’ve never said so much to me before.”

In the past, Jiang Yanshen seemed to have no patience for anything and always looked impatient.

Jiang Yanshen’s originally slightly curved lips froze, and the light in his eyes darkened.

The hint of joy and sweetness in the air disappeared.

Lin Qingqian realized something and restrained her smile. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

She let go of his hand. When their fingertips separated, Jiang Yanshen held her small hand back. His warm palm wrapped around her small hand tightly.

Her lowered eyes swept up as she looked at him in surprise.

Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips and said in a low voice, “You… like him very much?”

“Huh?” Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses and said, “How can that be? I’ve only seen him once.”

Something was surging in Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes. It was too fast and Lin Qingqian didn’t see it clearly.

“Actually, it’s fine if you have a split personality. You didn’t commit murder or arson.” Lin Qingqian comforted him softly. “Moreover… Jiang Xiao Jiu looks quite innocent.”

Jiang Yanshen gently pulled her into his arms.

He bent down and lowered his head, resting his chin on her shoulder. When he turned his head, he could smell the fragrance in her hair, as if this could calm the restlessness in his heart and the dark surging in his heart.

Lin Qingqian was stunned by him. She didn’t know why she had a feeling.

She felt that he was no longer omnipotent and indestructible, but a man with weaknesses.

Her slender arms wrapped around his firm and fleshless waist. Jiang Yanshen’s warm breath echoed in her ears, and her skin that was pressed tightly together could clearly feel his heart beating strongly.

A breeze swept through, sweeping up the white curtains and her fluttering hair. The vegetable leaves in the flower pot were imprinted with crescent marks and swayed happily.

Stars appeared one after another in the dark night sky, like countless diamonds flashing, decorating the entire night sky with a brilliant romance.

Midsummer had arrived.

This night was destined to be an extraordinary one.

Lin Qingqian prepared the shower and got a towel for Jiang Yanshen, as well as a blanket and pillow for him on the sofa.

At night, Jiang Yanshen didn’t let her close the door when she slept, so she didn’t.

After turning off the lights and lying down, the house was pitch-black. Lin Qingqian didn’t fall asleep despite tossing on the bed for an unknown period of time. She reached out to touch her cell phone and saw the time: 00:30.

The sound of someone flipping over came from the living room again.

Lin Qingqian let out a long sigh, turned on the lights, got off the bed, and walked out of the room.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Yanshen also sat up. With the dim light in the bedroom, he saw Lin Qingqian come out. ‘Why aren’t you asleep?”

“I want to sleep too, if you’ll stop flipping and tossing out here.” Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes were filled with resentment.

In the darkness, Jiang Yanshen’s face burned as he said in a dull tone, “The sofa is too small.”

At 1.89 meters tall, it was really aggrieved for him to sleep on such a small sofa.

Lin Qingqian sighed secretly. “Forget it. Go and sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Jiang Yanshen looked at her with his black eyes and rejected her firmly.

“I still have to work during the day.” Lin Qingqian walked to his side and lifted the blanket. “Take pity on an office worker like me.”

Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment before holding her hand. His fingertips caressed her hand carefully, and his voice was slightly hoarse. “We can sleep together.”

Lin Qingqian flung his hand away as if she had been electrocuted. “Either I sleep on the sofa and you sleep on the bed, or I’ll call Lu Yuan to pick you up.” This man really knew how to go too far.

Compared to being chased out and sleeping on the bed, Jiang Yanshen decisively chose the latter and stood up to give her the sofa.

He went to sleep on the bed without any psychological burden.

Lin Qingqian was used to living a poor life since she was young. Even after living in the Jiang Family for seven years, she didn’t develop any airs. It was not a problem for her to sleep on the sofa.

However, before she fell asleep, a sentence involuntarily flashed across her mind: The Dog of a man is still a Dog of a man!!

On the other hand, Jiang Yanshen lay on the bed that was filled with Lin Qingqian’s scent, resting on her pillow and covered with her blanket, he felt it was even more difficult to sleep.

All kinds of incessant thoughts flashed through his mind. Coupled with the fact that it was still warm under the blanket, he felt hot all night and only fell asleep when it was almost dawn.

In the morning, Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes under the cries of the birds raised by the old man next door. When he got up, he smelled a fragrance.

When he walked out of the room, he saw a busy figure in the kitchen and was stunned.

Lin Qingqian turned around and saw him. She walked to the door and asked,

“What are you standing there for?”

Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and strode in front of her without saying a word. He opened his arms and hugged her.

Lin Qingqian was stunned by his hug. She turned her head and tried to call out,

“Jiang… Yanshen?”

Jiang Yan took a deep breath of the air filled with her scent. His gently closed eyes opened with a gentle light, and his voice was low and hoarse. “It’s good to have a smaller house.”

“Huh?” What was wrong with this guy? Did he go crazy after not sleeping well last night?

Jiang didn’t explain. He let go and turned to wash up in the washroom. Lin Qingqian, who had been abandoned on the spot: “…”

She looked up and saw the man standing in the washroom brushing his teeth. She couldn’t help but smile.

For breakfast, Lin Qingqian prepared wonton noodles. The wontons were made early in the morning. They were sprinkled with green onions and drizzled with two drops of fragrant oil. They looked, smelled, and tasted good.

Jiang Yanshen, who usually only ate Western-style breakfast, finished the bowl of wonton noodles for the first time. His stomach felt warm and was no longer cold.

After breakfast, Lin Qingqian went to wash the dishes. When she came out of the kitchen, Jiang Yanshen had already changed his clothes.

“Go and change your clothes. I’ll send you to work.”

Lin Qingqian stood still and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’ll drive myself.’

Jiang Yanshen stood rooted to the ground, his dark eyes looking at her inquisitively.

Lin Qingqian knew that he would not give up without a reason. “Suisui saw me get out of your car yesterday.”

“So?” Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows.

Lin Qingqian: “Suisui doesn’t like you and doesn’t want us to be together.”

Hearing the second half of the sentence, Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite facial features finally changed slightly. “I don’t need her to like me.”

His voice was mixed with coldness.

Lin Qingqian knew that he didn’t understand the feelings between best friends and explained patiently, “Suisui is my best friend. She treats me very well. I hope to receive her blessings and support.”

Jiang Yanshen fell silent, his brows shrouded in a haze.

“We’ve just gotten together. It’s better to keep a low profile. After a long time, Suisui will realize that you’re different from before. Her impression of you will change.” Lin Qingqian comforted him.

To Jiang Yanshen, it didn’t matter what others thought of him other than Lin

Qingqian. He also disdained the likes and changes of others, but—

From the looks of it, she clearly cared about the girl called Suisui. If he treated her forcefully, she would be unhappy.

He suppressed the frustration in his heart and nodded softly. After thinking for a moment, he asked, “Does she like Lu Qinshang very much?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “She’s Lu Qinshang’s fan.”

After a pause, she said, “You’re not allowed to let Lu Qinshang seduce her. Suisui is a good girl.”

Jiang Yanshen hugged her slender waist and lowered his head to stamp a seal on her lips. “Don’t worry, Lu Qinshang is flirtatious but not obscene.”

Lin Qingqian’s lips felt warm, and sweetness slowly surged in her heart. Her eyes were filled with smiles.

The withdrawal of the Ling Family’s investment in Z Magazine was a blow to the magazine agency.

Lin Qingqian was still hesitating if she should talk to Lu Dongcheng when she received a call from Vin saying that someone had invested.

“Who is it?” Lin Qingqian asked curiously.

Vin: “You should be very familiar with this company, White!”

“Master L?” Lin Qingqian never expected it to be him.

“It was their chief secretary, Xu Wanlan, who came to talk to us personally. She only asked for Sheng Yan to appear on the cover of Z magazine.”

Sheng Yan was the spokesperson of White in the country. This condition was reasonable.

“Then I have to congratulate you. Although Sheng Yan came from a popular background, he has relied on his own efforts to transform into a capable person in the past two years. He deserves to be in your magazine.”

Vin: “Thank you. I plan to let Sheng Yan do the theme of ‘Summer’. I hope you can give me some advice when the time comes.”

Lin Qingqian agreed readily.

In the afternoon, Shi Guang Studio welcomed an unexpected guest.

Lin Qingqian pushed open the lounge door and saw a man sitting on the sofa. Although he was dressed in branded clothes, he wore a thick golden necklace around his neck and a golden ring on his finger. There was the strong aura of a nouveau riche.

He looked at Lin Qingqian and sized up her coldly.

“I’m Lin Qingqian. You are—”

Jiang Yanshen sat on the sofa and didn’t move. “I’m Li Ruzhu’s father, the general manager of the Wealth Company, Li Dashun.” Wasn’t Li Ruzhu’s father Madam Jiang’s lover?

When Lin Qingqian reacted, she immediately felt disgusted.

Li Dashun didn’t notice the disgust in her eyes. He took out a cheque from his pocket and slapped it on the coffee table. “This is double the price of your clothes. Take it to the police station to close the case.”

Lin Qingqian’s brows moved slightly, and her eyes were cold. “Is Mr. Li ordering me?”

Li Dashun’s expression changed slightly. He had long heard from his daughter that this woman was not easy to deal with. Today, he saw that it was indeed so.

He put down his crossed legs and leaned forward slightly, expressing his goodwill. “As long as you’re willing to close the case, you can name your price. Miss Lin, you have to leave a way out for people so that we can meet politely in the future. ”

If it were anyone else, Lin Qingqian might consider leaving a way out. But when she thought of Madam Jiang getting together with such a man, and Jiang Yanshen was disgusted by such a person…

She wanted to send this man in too.

“I won’t close the case. Please don’t come again, Mr. Li.”

Li Dashun’s expression suddenly turned cold. He stood up and said, “It seems like you want to do this the hard way?

Lin Qingqian was not frightened by his fierce appearance. Her tone was calm. “Li Ruzhu took more than one piece of clothing. Mr. Li, do you think that if I expose everything, she will have to go to jail for a few years before she can come out?”

“You!” Li Dashun’s face was ashen with anger, and his eyes were filled with ruthlessness. “Little girl, be careful not to encounter ghosts if you step too much in the shadows.”

Lin Qingqian said with a cold expression, “I’ll also return this sentence to Mr.

Li Dashun snorted and walked out.

Suisui, Su Ying, and Han Liubai walked in at the same time.

Su Ying said worriedly, “Sister Qingqian, are you alright?”

Lin Qingqian shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Suisui: “This man is obviously not a good person. He won’t do anything to you, right?”

Lin Qingqian didn’t know if Li Dashun would do anything, but she didn’t want them to worry. She still said, “It’s fine. I’ll be careful.”

Han Liubai said worriedly, “You have to be careful when you go in and out these few days. Don’t drive anymore. I’ll pick you up..”
