Perhaps because Jiang Yanshen’s red packet was quite generous, the villagers felt a little embarrassed and hence a few women came over with some milk powder and pastries later on.

Their eyes widened when they saw Jiang Yanshen.

The women who had lived in the village all their lives had never seen such a good-looking man. They couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Jiang Yanshen however, didn’t have any negative emotions from being stared

at by them and just calmly helped Lin Qingqian make tea.

Two women then grabbed Lin Chaoyan and asked if she was Lin Qingqian’s husband.

They wanted to know if he had any brothers as their daughters were still unmarried.

Lin Chaoyan wanted to say that they were already divorced, but when she saw their envious expressions, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

No matter what, it was the new year. It was not appropriate to say that Lin Qingqian had gotten a divorce. It was better to mention it in the future.

As they spoke in pure dialect, Jiang Yanshen couldn’t understand a single word. From the corner of his eye, he saw them looking at him so he lowered his voice and asked Lin Qingqian, “What are they talking about?”

Lin Qingqian placed the tea leaves in the glass and said without looking up, “They want to know if you have any brothers in your family. They have daughters who haven’t gotten married.”

Jiang Yanshen then picked up the hot water bottle. As he poured the water, he said, “Jiang Yunshen and I are the only direct descendants of the Jiang family. There are a few relatives, but they’re disappointing.”

Putting down the hot water bottle, he looked up at her and said in a joking tone, “If necessary, I can call Jiang Yunshen over.”

Lin Qingqian ‘

Is that Jiang Brat really your younger brother?

The women chatted only for a while before leaving as all the families were busy during the New Year.

There were also people who invited Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen to eat at their place. But Lin Chaoyan rejected them and said that she had already prepared lunch at home.

No matter how unhappy Lin Chaoyan was, she still gave Jiang Yanshen food to eat. However, she refused to give him a good look the entire time.

Jiang Yanshen was used to being respected in front of others and didn’t even lower his head in front of his old granny. On the other hand, he lowered his head in front of Lin Chaoyan this New Year and didn’t dare to say a word. In the afternoon, Lin Chaoyan returned to her room to rest. What she doesn’t see can’t hurt her.

Jiang Yanshen stood at the door with a teacup in his hand, looking at the snowy scenery. He had never thought that he would one day live in such a simple place.

Those obsessive-compulsive disorders and mysophobia were cured in an instant.

Lin Qingqian peeled a sugar orange and stuffed it into her mouth. Looking at his back view, she couldn’t help but say, “The snow on the village road has been cleared. I think the chauffeur can come in to pick you up now.”

Jiang Yanshen turned back to look at her. “Do you really want me to leave?”

Lin Qingqian blinked. “Aren’t you an iron man who doesn’t rest 365 days a year?”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyelashes and his thin lips curled up slightly. “That’s why I want to live for myself for a day now.”

Lin Qingqian frowned slightly, not understanding what he meant. Moreover… when he said this, his tone sounded a little sorrowful.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant as Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before peeling a sugar orange and handing it to him. “The orange is very sweet.

Try it.”

Jiang Yanshen turned his head and his gaze landed on the small orange in her palm. He took it and placed it in his mouth.

Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything. She looked at him with her clear eyes, as if to say, “Isn’t it very sweet?”

Jiang Yanshen’s Adam’s apple bobbed vigorously as he silently shifted his gaze

to the snow outside the window, allowing the cold sweet liquid to flow down his throat.

“I’ll remember today for the rest of my life. I’ll remember this taste for sure.”

Lin Qingqian was just about to ask him what he meant when there was a commotion and noise outside the door— “Big Brother, we’re here…”
