She wanted to say something but hesitated. Her clear eyes were filled with struggle and complexity as she looked at him.
Jiang Yanshen was so smart that he saw through her thoughts at a glance. He turned around and sat on her bed.
“You said you wouldn’t like anyone else or remarry. You’re not lying to me, are you?”
Lin Qingqian nodded.
The man’s thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice was low and deep. “If you don’t want to return to my side, I won’t force you. If you don’t like me getting close to you, I can stand far away. I can guarantee that what happened tonight won’t happen again, but—”
His voice stopped. When he looked at her, his eyes were shining as he said firmly, “But don’t be afraid of me. Don’t be too far away from me. Stay where I can see you, okay?”
He enunciated the last two words very softly, almost removing all his pride, self-esteem, and even lowering his head to beg her.
Lin Qingqian held her breath and looked at him in a daze. She had never thought that he would say such a thing one day.
It was just so that he could still be in her life.
Jiang Yanshen took out a velvet box from the pocket of his suit and placed it on the head of her bed. He stared at her with teary eyes and stood up to leave the room.
Lin Qingqian sat in a daze for a while before bending down to take the velvet box at the head of the bed. After hesitating for a while, she opened the box.
A diamond brooch was placed quietly in the shape of a letter—Q.
It wasn’t so much a New Year’s gift but more like a return gift for the brooch she’d given him last time.
Lin Qingqian closed the box and held it tightly with her fair fingers. She lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.
The next day, Lin Qingqian woke up with a shock. She sat up and quickly realized that it was because of a sound that came from next door.
She didn’t even have time to put on her clothes. She grabbed the white cotton-padded jacket that was hanging from the end of her bed and put it on before getting out of bed and walking out.
The moment she pushed open the door, she sneezed in the bone-chilling wind. The house was now covered in snow.
It had snowed at some point last night, and now it was white all over the place. It was blindingly bright.
Lin Qingqian didn’t even have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery when she heard a voice coming from the room next door. “B*stard surnamed Jiang! Do you have any shame?”
“You’re shameless, but our Qingqian still wants to keep her face!”
“Auntie…” Lin Qingqian immediately walked over and was stunned when she pushed open the door.
Lin Chaoyan stood at the end of the bed with one hand on her waist and the other holding a red-patterned pail. As for Jiang Yanshen—
Sitting on the bed, his head and face were covered in water. Even his thin shirt was drenched and stuck to his skin.
The bed sheets and bedding were also drenched.
Lin Qingqian: ‘
Auntie, do you have to be so ruthless?
In this weather, she did not believe that Auntie would be kind enough to splash him with warm water.
Lin Chaoyan had a sullen expression on her face. She pointed at the door and said, “Get lost quickly. Our Lin family doesn’t welcome you!”
Jiang Yanshen’s face was covered in water droplets, and his lips were a little pale. He looked at Lin Qingqian obediently.
It was as if as long as Lin Qingqian said a word, he would immediately leave like this.
Lin Qingqian said hesitantly, “Auntie…”
“Shut up!” Lin Chaoyan glared at her. “I’ll settle the score with you later.”
Lin Qingqian: ‘
Lin Chaoyan looked at Jiang Yanshen again. “Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I’ll call the villagers to carry you out!”
Jiang Yanshen still didn’t say anything. He just turned his head away and coughed softly with his fingers clenched into a fist.
Lin Qingqian didn’t care if Lin Chaoyan was angry anymore. “Auntie, go out first..”
