Chapter 351: The Arm That Was Hugging Her Loosened A Little. “You Like This Smell, So I Sprayed It A Few More Times. ”

Jiang Yanshen was silent as Han Liubai’s mocking voice sounded in his ears.

“You don’t know what family is at all, what friendship is, and what love is. You’re a monster without emotions.”

He originally had a complete family. Although his parents were not considered loving, they respected each other and treated him extremely well.

However, all of this disappeared with Jiang Chongyan’s death.

His mother blamed herself and was depressed all day. In the end, she committed suicide due to depression. Later on, his father passed away.

He had lost both parents. Those relatives had taken his family assets, and they kicked him around like a burden. Even the money for his treatment was provided by a charity. If not for his outstanding studies and the scholarships, he might not even have been able to attend school.

And all of this was caused by Jiang Chongyan and the Jiang Family. How could

he not hate the Jiang Family and blame them?

Jiang Yanshen listened to him expressionlessly and didn’t refute. Instead, he said calmly, “I came today to ask you for a favor.”

Han Liubai, who was originally filled with anger, was instantly stunned…

Their relationship had never been one where they could “ask for a favor” from each other.

“You’re right. I don’t understand family or friendship, so I trust no one. I can only look for you.”

“Why me?” Han Liubai frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Was he serious or… was he up to something?

“Although I’ve never taken you seriously—” Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips slightly, his deep eyes inadvertently revealing a hint of envy. “At least you really like Qianqian.”

In the end, Lin Qingqian entered the semi-finals with second place. Ming Xiao was first, and Xu Zhao, who was originally second, was third.

Thunderous applause sounded from the event location as the emcee congratulated them excitedly under a rain of golden colored confetti.

The three designers stood together and let the media reporters take photos.

Ming Xiao looked at the camera with a smile on his face. She lowered her voice so that only she and Lin Qingqian could hear her.

“Looks like you’re going to fight me to the end.”

Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at her and said in the same tone, “Are you sure I’m the only one fighting with you?”

Ming Xiao’s eyes narrowed. Before she could speak, the reporters rushed up to interview them with microphones.

After the interview ended, Lin Qingqian hurriedly returned to the lounge.

Jiang Yanshen leaned against the door and watched her walk over happily, his dark eyes filled with smiles.

“I made it to the semi-finals,” Lin Qingqian said as she quickly approached him, coming to a stop and looking up at him. The brightness in her eyes stirred certain memories in Jiang Yanshen when he met her gaze.

In the past, every time she participated in a competition and advanced, she would run over excitedly to tell him.

However, at that time, she was more lively and ran. Now, she was more stable.

“Ah Yan…” Seeing that he didn’t react, Lin Qingqian waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and held her hand, a doting smile on his lips. “You’re so powerful. What reward do you want?”

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and thought for a moment. “Why don’t you accompany me to Milan?”

The smile on Jiang Yanshen’s lips froze. After a moment of silence, he nodded. “Alright.’

How could Lin Qingqian’s sharp mind not see through his cover? “What’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing serious.” Jiang Yanshen said indifferently, “I just have a project to discuss. Let Lu Yuan go on my behalf.”

When Lin Qingqian heard that it was work, she immediately changed her words. “I was just saying casually. You don’t have to accompany me.”

“I’ll go with you. Work will never end. If I don’t go…” Jiang Yanshen teased in a low and hoarse voice, “What if you’re angry and don’t want to come back?”

“With you waiting for me in Lan City, how can I not come back?” Lin Qingqian smiled. “I’ll bring Chen Mu and the others along. Don’t worry.”

Jiang Yanshen’s long eyelashes trembled slightly as he asked again worriedly,

“You really don’t need me to accompany you?”

“No need.” Lin Qingqian held his arm and walked towards the elevator as she said, “I’ll be back soon. Don’t worry.”

Jiang Yanshen turned his head to look at her face, a strong reluctance flashing across his burning eyes.

The participating works in the semi-finals had to be redesigned. Lin Qingqian did not have the time or mood to celebrate when she was nominated for the semi-finals. She had to prepare for the semi-finals.

In order to let Lin Qingqian work on the design in peace, Su Ying did not dare to disturb her at work. She only asked Han Liubai. Only when he could not make up his mind would she call her to ask.

Even Suisui was very sensible and didn’t send WeChat messages to harass her. And because Jiang Yanshen’s body had yet to fully recover, Lin Qingqian didn’t let him go to the company and stay at home to work.

For the past week, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen had been staying in Begonia Courtyard and did not go anywhere. They interacted with each other day and night, looking ordinary and warm.

During the day, Lin Qingqian locked herself in the study to design while Jiang Yanshen dealt with work with Lu Yuan and Song Qin in the living room downstairs.

At night, the two of them hugged each other and fell asleep. Because she was afraid that Jiang Yanshen’s wound would split open, Lin Qingqian insisted on not letting him touch her.

At most, he would have to trouble Miss Five Fingers.

Although Jiang Yanshen was not satisfied and his eyes were filled with resentment, he was not really angry. When he slept, he always kissed her face again and again, as if he could not get enough of her.

Lin Qingqian’s heart melted into a pool of water from his kisses, and her bright eyes were filled with smiles. “What’s wrong?” “Huh?” Jiang Yanshen rubbed her ears gently.

It’s not enough.

It’s not enough no matter what.

The smile in Lin Qingqian’s shy eyes faded. She held his cheek with her fingers and said, “I feel that you’ve been acting strange recently. You’ve suddenly become so sticky.”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes to hide the deepness in them. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips. “You don’t like it?”

Lin Qingqian’s eyes narrowed into a line as she took the initiative to kiss his thin lips. “I like it.”

Jiang Yanshen hid a smile in his eyes. He reached out to open the drawer of the bedside table and took out a box. “Open it and take a look.”

Lin Qingqian’s eyebrows were raised. “Why did you suddenly think of giving me a gift?”

There didn’t seem to be any festivals recently.

Jiang Yanshen didn’t answer. His gaze landed on the box, indicating for her to open it quickly.

Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before slowly opening the velvet box. What greeted her eyes was a platinum necklace.

The necklace was made of two small fish that seemed to be kissing. Their eyes were embedded with diamonds that sparkled.

“It’s so beautiful!” Lin Qingqian’s eyes were filled with amazement. She couldn’t wait to take out the necklace.

Jiang Yanshen had given her many necklaces, but no matter how expensive they were, she liked this one very much at first sight.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Yanshen knew that she liked it very much. He reached out and took the necklace. “I’ll help you put it on.”

Lin Qingqian lowered her head and saw two small fishes stuck to the middle of her collarbone. She touched the small fishes with her fingertips. “Why did you give me a necklace?”

Jiang Yanshen helped her put on the necklace and kissed her ear. He said in a low and hoarse voice, “The reward for the semi-finals.”

“Thank you, I like it very much.” Lin Qingqian’s heart surged with warmth. “Then if I enter the finals or even win the championship, will there be a reward?”

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up. “You’re so confident?”

“Don’t you have confidence in me?” Lin Qingqian asked.

“Yes! ” Jiang Yanshen looked at her with burning eyes, his fingertips weaving through her thick and soft hair. “When you enter the finals, I’ll give you the gift you want the most.”

“What gift?” Lin Qingqian’s eyes widened as she asked curiously.

“You’ll know when you come back.” Jiang Yanshen’s slender fingers brushed against the tip of her nose dotingly.

Lin Qingqian revealed a bright smile and her fingers kept touching the necklace. “If I enter the finals, I have a gift for you too.”

“What gift?” Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Lin Qingqian imitated his tone. “You’ll know when I come back.”

The two of them smiled knowingly. Their foreheads were pressed against each other, and the tip of their noses gently rubbed against each other. Warmth and sweetness filled the air and lingered in their chests for a long time.

As the semi-finals approached, Lin Qingqian was going to fly to Milan in advance.

Because Suisui was pregnant, Lin Qingqian didn’t bring her along. Instead, she brought another makeup artist and Chen Mu.

Jiang Yanshen, Suisui, and even Lu Qinshang and Gu Xici came over to send her off.

“I’m just going to the competition. I’ll be back in a week.” Lin Qingqian smiled faintly when she saw their dark figures.

She was very touched.

She still remembered that not long ago, other than Suisui, she did not have many friends. Now, she had a group of companions.

Lu Qinshang teased, “This can be considered an expedition for the country. You have to work hard. If you lose, you’ll be scolded by the haters and become a trending topic. ”

Lin Qingqian looked at him disdainfully. “You should worry about how you can avoid being scolded on the trending searches when you announce your marriage.”

Lu Qinshang:

It hurts, Sister-in-law.

“I wish you a safe journey and a smooth competition,” Gu Xici said simply.

“Thank you.” Lin Qingqian glanced at Jiang Yanshen, who was answering the call not far away, and said in a low voice, “I’ll leave Ah Yan in your hands while I’m away.”

Gu Xici followed her gaze and nodded slightly. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of him. ”

Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything. Seeing the two of them lowering their heads and leaning together, Lu Qinshang didn’t know what to say and asked curiously, “Sister-in-law, what did you say to Ah Ci?”

“I reminded him not to bring Ah Yan to go fooling around with you when I’m not around.’

“…” The corners of Lu Qinshang’s mouth twitched. “What do you mean by fooling around? I’m a gentleman!”

A gentleman?

Lin Qingqian’s gaze landed on Suisui’s stomach, as if she was saying: A gentleman would f*ck fans?

Lu Qinshang:

After Jiang Yanshen answered the call and walked over, the others dispersed.

The two of them stood facing each other without saying anything. They looked at each other, and the affection in their eyes was about to overflow.

Jiang Yanshen pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her hair.

“Take good care of yourself outside. Don’t leave Chen Mu behind.”

Lin Qingqian hugged his firm waist. With a breath, she could smell the ebony agarwood scent. It seemed to be even richer than usual.

“You seem to have used a lot of perfume today.” The ebony scent on his body was usually faint.

Jiang Yanshen loosened his grip on her arm and lowered his head. “You like this smell, so I sprayed it a few more times..”
