Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Xici held a wine glass and looked at Lu Qinshang on the dance floor with a girl whose body was as stiff as a block of wood. He couldn’t help but smile. It seemed like he didn’t even want to let his fans off.

Lu Qinshang was really something.

Jiang Yunshen didn’t go to dance either. He stood at the side and drank.

“Why aren’t you dancing?” Gu Xici clinked glasses with him.

Jiang Yunshen looked dispirited. “It’s boring.”

Gu Xici glanced at Luo Tianxue, who was standing not far away. “She has a good relationship with Qingqian. Aren’t you going to say hello?”

Jiang Yunshen glanced at her from the corner of his eye and became even more uninterested. “She’s not my type.”

The music at the event wasn’t that loud, and they weren’t far away. Therefore, Jiang Yunshen’s words jumped into Luo Tianxue’s ears word by word.

Although she had no feelings for Jiang Yunshen, this second-generation heir, it did not mean that she could accept that Jiang Yunshen looked down on her.

Besides, what right did he have to look down on her?

Luo Tianxue finished the champagne in one gulp, put down the glass, and walked towards them.

Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen couldn’t help but look at each other when they saw her walking over.

Luo Tianxue walked up to him and asked softly, “Um, can you dance with me?” She was talking to Gu Xici.

When Jiang Yunshen heard this, he raised his eyebrows and gave him a gloating look.

Gu Xici frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Sorry, I…”

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Tianxue suddenly twisted her ankle and fell to the side.

As gentlemen, Gu Xici and Jiang Yunshen naturally reached out to help her.

Jiang Yunshen was closer, so when he reached out to hold her, Luo Tianxue fell into his arms.

A faint fragrance immediately engulfed his nose. His warm fingertips were also touching her warm skin as an indescribable emotion instantly wrapped around his heart.

Luo Tianxue’s fair fingers gripped Jiang Yunshen’s arm tightly. After barely stabilizing herself, she looked up at him. “I’m sorry, thank you.”

She stood up straight and took two steps back to put some distance between

them.

It was not the first time Jiang Yunshen had seen Luo Tianxue, but he had only glanced at her in the past. He had seen many beautiful female celebrities, so she wasn’t very impressionable, but—

This was the first time he had seen her up close. He realized that… she seemed to be more exquisite than he had imagined.

Luo Tianxue’s face turned slightly pale, but she tried her best to maintain her smile. “I’m sorry to disturb you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Since she had probably sprained her ankle, her footsteps were a little slow and strange.

Jiang Yunshen looked at her slender and graceful back. For some reason, he walked forward and held her arm. “Is your foot okay? Do you want me to help you to the rest area to rest?”

Luo Tianxue looked up at him innocently. “No need to trouble yourself. I can go by myself.”

The gentler and stronger she appeared, the more Jiang Yunshen wanted to protect her. “You’re a guest invited by my sister-in-law. It’s only right for me to take care of you. It’s not troublesome at all.”

Luo Tianxue smiled. “I see. Thank you.”

Jiang Yunshen was shaken by her smile, and his ears inexplicably burned.

“You’re welcome.”

Luo Tianxue lowered her head, the smile on her face disappearing in an instant.

Gu Xici looked at Jiang Yunshen, who was helping Luo Tianxue leave, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

This child was still too young.

The protagonist of the celebration party was pressed against the wall of an empty hall next to the banquet hall. Jiang Yanshen’s hot breath sprayed on her face before his dry lips landed on hers like a storm.

They hadn’t seen each other for the past few days. Thus, it was as if he wanted to tell her how much he missed her through this kiss.

In the pitch-black darkness, Lin Qingqian couldn’t see anything and her hearing and sense of smell were magnified as a result.

His heart was pounding like a drum and his intoxicating manly pheromones surrounded her.

After an unknown period of time, Jiang Yanshen finally stopped. He rested his chin on her shoulder and muttered hoarsely, ‘Qianqian…”

Lin Qingqian’s face was very hot, and her heart was beating very fast. She hugged his firm waist tightly with both hands and hummed softly.

“Qianqian…” He called her again and again as if he didn’t know when to stop.

Lin Qingqian’s breathing gradually calmed down, and her voice was so gentle that it could drip water. “What’s wrong?”

“I missed you.”

The heat on Lin Qingqian’s face, which had just faded, rose again because of his “I miss you”. It went all the way to her heart, burning.

At this moment, she was hugging this man. She was no longer as humble as before. She even felt that it was unreal.

She then turned her head and kissed him on the cheek. “We should go out.” If everyone realized that they were gone, it would arouse suspicion.

Jiang Yanshen hugged her and couldn’t bear to let go. He wished he could rub her into his bones and blood so that they wouldn’t be separated no matter where they went.

Lin Qingqian could feel his intense and burning emotions. She raised her head and kissed his chin. “Go out first and wait for the celebration party to end before returning to Begonia Courtyard.”

She was coaxing him gently.

Jiang Yanshen reluctantly let go of her and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Go out first.”

Lin Qingqian asked curiously, “Huh?”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t explain. Instead, he leaned against her cheek and said, “Be good.”

Realizing something, her red lips curled up slightly as she said softly, “Okay.”

Lin Qingqian then tidied up her gown and hair. As soon as she walked out of the half-opened door, she was met with a woman who came out of the banquet hall opposite.

She was wearing a long purple V-neck dress and an expensive diamond necklace. Her chestnut-colored curly hair was scattered with nobility and elegance, but when she saw Lin Qingqian, her eyes were filled with disdain.

Lin Qingqian was also stunned when she saw her. The two of them looked at each other silently for a moment, and neither of them broke the awkward silence.

Jiang Yanshen opened the door and saw Lin Qingqian still standing at the door. His black eyes were filled with confusion. “Qianqian…”

His long arm naturally wrapped around her shoulder, and his gaze followed her gaze to the woman standing at the door opposite.

The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw him. Her slightly pursed red lips curled up slightly. “Director Jiang, do you still remember me?”

Jiang Yanshen’s gaze didn’t linger on her for more than three seconds. When he retracted his gaze, his voice was cold. “I don’t remember.”

Hearing him say this, the woman wasn’t angry. She said in a light voice, “I’m Ming Xiao, and also… Lin Qingqian’s senior.”

Ming Xiao’s gaze sharpened at the mention of the word “senior”.

Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes were as calm as ever. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she maintained a polite smile. “Senior Ming, long time no see.

Ming Xiao said meaningfully, “It’s indeed been a long time.”

She paused for a moment and said, “I just came back from France. Tonight, my father specially organized this welcome banquet for me. I originally invited Director Jiang, but Secretary Song said that Director Jiang isn’t in Lan City. I didn’t expect…’

She didn’t say the rest.

Jiang Yanshen didn’t react to her words. He was so cold that it was as if he didn’t see this person’s existence.

Lin Qingqian smiled. “He just came back.”

Ming Xiao nodded. She was neither angry nor disappointed. “I heard that the two of you are divorced?”

“Senior Ming has been overseas for so long and still cares about us so much. Then, you should have heard that we’ve gotten back together.” Lin Qingqian replied calmly.

“Really?” Ming Xiao smiled nonchalantly. “I’ve never heard of it, but it’s normal for men and women to get together and part.”

These words were clearly hinting that Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen would still break up.

Jiang Yanshen frowned coldly. When he looked up, Ming Xiao said with a smile, “I’m sorry, I’m going to the washroom. Excuse me.”

Without giving Jiang Yanshen a chance to speak, she turned around and left.

Although Lin Qingqian’s expression didn’t change much, a trace of gloominess and contemplation flashed past her eyes.

Ming Xiao.

These two words did not bring back positive memories for her.

So this was what Li Ruzhu meant by not being smug for long?

Lin Qingqian turned her head and saw Li Ruzhu, who had been standing at the door and spying on everything.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation and provocation.

It was probably because of Ming Xiao’s appearance that Lin Qingqian was

distracted in the second half of the celebration party. Even the joy of Jiang Yanshen’s return was washed away.

Jiang Yanshen noticed it, but he didn’t say anything. .

Why did the sudden appearance of a woman make her feel so uneasy?

Jiang Yunshen helped Luo Tianxue sit down in the resting area outside. His gaze landed on her ankle. “Is your foot alright?”

Luo Tianxue rubbed her ankle. “I’m fine now. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Yunshen’s eyes flashed with surprise. “You know me?”

Luo Tianxue revealed a sweet smile. “Yes, I’ve seen you twice at a gathering in the past. Your canine tooth is very cute.”

Jiang Yunshen was often praised for being handsome and liked by others. Now that he was praised for being cute, and it was the canine tooth that he had always wanted to take off but did not dare to, a different emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

“Is that so?”

Luo Tianxue looked at him sincerely and nodded.

Jiang Yunshen lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Luo Tianxue stood up and said, “My foot still hurts a little, so I think I’m going home to rest. Please help me tell Qianqian.”

Jiang Yunshen said worriedly, “Is the chauffeur waiting for you outside?”

Luo Tianxue shook her head. “I drove here by myself today.” Jiang Yunshen frowned. “But can you drive in this state?”

“I can take a taxi,” Luo Tianxue replied with a smile.

“That’s even more impossible.” Jiang Yunshen’s face was solemn. After a moment, he realized that his reaction was too big and hurriedly explained, “I mean that you’re a public figure. It’s not convenient or safe to take a taxi so late at night.”

“Then I’ll call my manager to pick me up.” Luo Tianxue pretended to take out her cell phone.

Jiang Yunshen only hesitated for five seconds before saying, “Why don’t I send you back?”

“Ah?” Luo Tianxue looked up, her smoky eyes filled with innocence. “That’s not good. I’ve troubled you too much.”

“It’s not troublesome. You’re Sister-in-law’s friend, so it’s only right.” Jiang Yunshen put away his usual attitude and spouted nonsense seriously.

Luo Tianxue’s sweet voice said, “Thank you so much.”

Jiang Yunshen then held her arm. “Let’s go.”

Lu Qinshang, on the other hand, sent Suisui back like a gentleman. Although his feet had been stepped on the entire night, he wasn’t offended. Furthermore, she was his fan, so he naturally wouldn’t take it to heart.

On the other hand, Suisui was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.

She had let down all the Maple Leaves and was even less worthy of being a fan now.

Boohoo…

In the dead of night, everyone dispersed. Lin Qingqian was so tired that Jiang Yanshen had to carry her into the car and to Begonia Courtyard..
