Jiang Yanshen had yet to be discharged from the hospital, and the court had already started hearing Li Guilan’s case.

Li Guilan hired a lawyer to defend her. She insisted that she had stabbed Jiang Yanshen in a moment of desperation. As for carrying a fruit knife with her, it was for self-defense and not to deliberately hurt anyone.

Because this case involved a case from more than ten years ago, it couldn’t be concluded so quickly. Li Guilan was still locked up in the detention center for the time being.

Jiang Yanshen and Li Guilan’s matter was not urgent and was handed over to the lawyer to handle.

After his wound healed and he could sit up, Lu Yuan and Song Qin came to the ward every day with a pile of documents.

Although Lin Qingqian did not really want him to deal with it, she couldn’t withstand the pleading gazes of Lu Yuan and Song Qin…

Moreover, Lu Yuan and Song Qin had already dealt with most of the matters.

The documents were also reported by Lu Yuan and Song Qin in turn, and Jiang Yanshen only had to make a decision.

Every morning, when Lu Yuan and the others came over, Lin Qingqian would return to the company and finish her work. At noon, she would rush to the hospital to eat lunch with Jiang Yanshen and strictly order him to take an afternoon nap and not work anymore.

Unable to dissuade her, Jiang Yanshen could only lie down…

Lin Qingqian tucked him in and said softly, “The doctor said that you’ll be discharged in a week.”

Jiang Yanshen held her hand, his eyes filled with heartache as he stared at her. “You’ve lost weight recently.”

“It’s good to lose some weight. I don’t have to go on a diet anymore.” Lin Qingqian pretended to be relaxed.

Recently, she had been busy running between home, office, and the hospital. Coupled with the fact that her appetite was not good and she ate little, she felt that her clothes had become much looser.

“I’ll get Auntie to nourish you when we get back,” Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice.

“I’ll nourish you first!” Lin Qingqian reached out to touch his cheek. “You look thinner than me.”

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes heated up as he said meaningfully, “Try me and you’ll know that I’m not weak.”

Lin Qingqian was stunned. When she realized what he meant, she slapped his palm angrily and said, “Hooligan.”

Jiang Yanshen held her hand, and the smile on his lips deepened. Lin Qingqian looked into his eyes and smiled…

Suddenly, the smile on Jiang Yanshen’s lips froze. His cold brows furrowed tightly, and a trace of pain flashed across his expression.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that his expression was not right, the smile on Lin Qingqian’s lips instantly froze. “Ah Yan…”

Jiang Yanshen tightened his grip on her hand involuntarily, as if he wanted to crush her bones.

“Ah Yan…” Lin Qingqian ignored her hand that was hurting from his grip, her bright eyes filled with worry. “I’ll call the doctor.”

She had just gotten up when he pulled her back. His thin lips squeezed out two difficult words. “No need…

Lin Qingqian lowered her head and looked at him worriedly…

Jiang Yan took a few deep breaths and his throat moved. His voice was hoarse as he said, “Help me wring a towel.”

In just a moment, his face and neck were already drenched in sweat.

Lin Qingqian was worried. “Are you really fine?”

The corners of Jiang Yanshen’s mouth curled up. “I’m fine.”

Seeing that he was really fine, Lin Qingqian turned around and walked towards the washroom.

Jiang Yanshen looked at her back with burning eyes. When the sound of water flowing came from the washroom, he raised his hand and pinched his temples.

He squeezed out two cold words in a low voice. “Get lost.”

Lin Qingqian came out of the washroom with a clean towel in her hand. She walked to the bed and bent down to wipe his face.

Jiang Yanshen’s expression returned to normal, and his gaze landed on her hand. Her fair hand was still red from wringing the towel.

“I’m sorry.” He held her hand, his low and hoarse voice mixed with regret.

Lin Qingqian pulled his hand out nonchalantly and wiped the sweat off his neck with a towel. “Do you experience headaches often? Do you want to do a brain CT scan?”

“Alright.” In order to reassure her, Jiang Yanshen agreed, but he knew very well…

A brain CT scan would not detect anything.

“Then rest. I’ll go look for the doctor,” Lin Qingqian said gently.

Jiang Yanshen nodded and watched her leave the room. The smile on his lips slowly darkened.

The pain in his head swept over him again. He reached out and pressed his head hard. His throat moved extremely slowly, and a moment later, he let out a

difficult voice—

“A week. Give me another week.”

With that, after a long time, the tearing pain finally disappeared from his mind.

When Lin Qingqian returned from seeing the doctor, Jiang Yanshen was lying on the hospital bed. His eyes were closed, as if he had already fallen asleep.

She walked over and lifted the blanket up. Her gaze landed on his face. Because of his injuries, his face was even paler than before. The bones of his cheeks were even more sunken, and there was always a dark expression between his brows when she was not paying attention.

Ah Yan, what are you thinking? Is there anything you can’t let me know?

She sighed softly and tiptoed out of the ward with her phone.

After the submission deadline for S.T’s Fashion Design Competition passed, Lin Qingqian quickly received an email from the organizer informing her that she had passed the preliminary round.

The domestic semi-finals would be held in Lan City. All designers had to bring their own designs and invited models to compete at the event location. There would be professional judges marking at the event location, and the winner could go to Milan to participate in the semi-finals.

Lin Qingqian had already personally completed the modified design. The invited model was Li Wenwen.

When Luo Tianxue found out that she had invited Li Wenwen to be the model, she lost her temper. “I was the one who revealed the news of the competition to you in advance. You actually invited her to be your model and not me!”

Facing Luo Tianxue’s uncontrollable anger, Lin Qingqian said calmly, “This is only a domestic competition. Isn’t the Milan runway more suitable for you?”

Her calm words comforted the furious Luo Tianxue. “You said it yourself. If you lie to me, I’ll really be angry with you.”

Lin Qingqian curved her lips. “Don’t worry, as long as I can enter the semi-finals, I’ll definitely bring you to Milan.”

“With your ability, it won’t be a problem for you to enter the semi-finals.” Luo Tianxue’s voice was filled with confidence.

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips helplessly. She didn’t know where her confidence in her came from.

The competition venue was a television station in Lan City, broadcasting live.

That day, Suisui, Su Ying, and even Han Liubai were present.

Lin Qingqian saw Han Liubai and frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”

“Today is your first time competing on stage, so I naturally have to go to the event location to cheer you on.” Han Liubai’s eyes were gentle, and a faint smile appeared on his pale face.

“Are you feeling better?” She had been so busy working and taking care of Jiang Yanshen these few days that she had forgotten to visit him.

After receiving her concern, Han Liubai’s heart softened even more. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me. Just focus on the competition.”

Lin Qingqian thought of something and asked Su Ying to bring her bag to her. She took out a Peace Blessing from the bag.

“I went to the temple to ask for it previously, but I’ve forgotten about it because of the recent chaos.”

Han Liubai was slightly stunned. His gaze landed on the blessing in her hand and his throat tightened. He couldn’t believe it. “You specially asked for it for me?”

Lin Qingqian did not answer him directly and said softly, “We’re friends. I hope you’ll be healthy and safe.”

Han Liubai reached out to take Peace Blessing and held it tightly in his hand.

The gratitude in his eyes disappeared in an instant. “Thank you.”

Even if he knew that she was just concerned about him as a friend and did not have any selfish thoughts, it was still very precious to him.

Han Liubai nodded and watched her leave.

Backstage.

Li Wenwen had already changed her clothes and Suisui had also put on makeup for her. She couldn’t help but praise, “She’s so beautiful.”

Li Wenwen smiled reservedly. “Thank you.”

“What’s going on?” Lin Qingqian walked in and her gaze landed on Li Wenwen, not surprised at all.

When she designed this dress, she followed Li Wenwen’s style. When she made it, the size was also strictly according to Li Wenwen’s size, so it was just right for Li Wenwen at this moment. There was no need to modify it at all.

“Qingqian, your design is really beautiful. I believe you’ll definitely make it to the semi-finals,” Li Wenwen praised sincerely.

“Thank you.” Lin Qingqian sized her up and said to Suisui, “Help Wenwen arrange her hair again.”

Suisui made an “OK” gesture.

The door of the lounge was suddenly pushed open. “Qingqian…”

A familiar voice sounded. Just as Lin Qingqian turned around, she was hugged by Luo Tianxue, who was jogging over in her high heels.

“It’s been a long time. Did you miss me?”

Lin Qingqian was a little surprised to see her. “Why are you here?”

Luo Tianxue raised his chin. “Of course I’m cheering for you. I’m not heartless like you.”

She was still angry that Lin Qingqian had invited Li Wenwen to be the model.

Lin Qingqian smiled helplessly.

“By the way, I heard that Ming Xiao invited Best Actress Zhou Jinran to be a model. You have to be careful.” Luo Tianxue’s words were directed at Lin Qingqian, but her gaze drifted to Li Wenwen.

Although Li Wenwen was the queen of art films and had won a few foreign awards, she still lost to Zhou Jinran in terms of popularity.

Today’s competition was based on a double voting system between the judges and the audience. Although the audience only accounted for 30% of the votes and the decision was still in the hands of the judges, they could not underestimate this 30%.

“No matter how famous Movie Queen Zhou is, we’re still competing in design.

Don’t pressure Wenwen.”

Lin Qingqian knew that she was deliberately saying this for Li Wenwen to hear, so she opened her mouth to help Li Wenwen out. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the people passing by the door stopped in their tracks and looked over lazily.

The door of the lounge was not closed. Lin Qingqian’s words were clearly heard by the people passing by the door, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Luo Tianxue acted as if nothing had happened and smiled. “Big Sister Jinran, long time no see. You’re still so beautiful.”

Zhou Jinran glanced at Luo Tianxue indifferently, her gaze landing on Lin Qingqian with a slightly cold gaze.

Lin Qingqian met her gaze indifferently without any guilt or embarrassment. After all, she was telling the truth. Fashion design was about the design itself, not the fame of the models.

Zhou Jinran wanted to take a look at Li Wenwen’s clothes, but she was blocked by Suisui. She retracted her gaze and continued walking towards Ming Xiao’s lounge as if nothing had happened.

Luo Tianxue tilted her head and said to Lin Qingqian, “You’re finished. Movie Queen Zhou is famous for being petty in the industry. If you offend her, you can forget about having an easy time in the future.”

Lin Qingqian glanced at her. “Thank you for telling me..”
