Lin Chaoyan blushed and her eyes turned red. She nodded in relief.
Before she could finish the wine, she was already drunk. Hence, Lin Qingqian helped her to her room to rest. After that, she turned back and looked at the half-eaten dishes. She was not in the mood to clean up. She sat down again and was about to drink when the barking of a dog sounded from outside the door.
The dogs in the mountain village were very familiar with the locals and wouldn’t bark unless a stranger entered the village.
Who would come so late at night?
Just as Lin Qingqian put down her cup and was about to get up to take a look, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the door. He was wearing a long black coat, and his well-defined fingers were carrying two bags of things.
She suspected that she had seen wrongly and raised her hand to rub her eyes. The man walked closer, and his aura instantly woke her up from her thoughts.
“Jiang, Yanshen…” Lin Qingqian stood up involuntarily, her blurry eyes filled with surprise. “Why..why are you here?”
Jiang Yanshen put down the things and his gaze landed on the table. His voice was low and gentle. “I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Can I sit down and eat something?”
Lin Qingqian’s mind was still in turmoil so she didn’t hear what he said clearly.
“Shouldn’t you be in Lan City and Jiang…”
She thought of something and suddenly stopped talking.
He and Madam Jiang did not have a good relationship to begin with. Previously, they had even fallen out over her. It made no difference whether they celebrated the lunar new year together this year or not.
“Why don’t you spend the New Year with Grandma?” Although they were divorced, she was used to calling her Grandma. For a moment, she didn’t remember that she should call her Grandma Jiang.
“I had lunch with her. Grandma asked me to send these things over,” Jiang Yanshen explained patiently when he saw that she was still surprised.
After a pause, he said, “My stomach feels a little uncomfortable after driving all the way. Can you let me eat something, hm?”
The last “hmm” sounded a little coaxing.
Lin Qingqian bit her lip. She was still wondering if Grandma had asked him to come. But even if she hadn’t, he had come all the way here and it was a festive occasion. Could she really chase him out?
“Wait a minute. The dishes are cold. I’ll heat them up.”
Seeing that she had agreed, Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly as he said in a low voice, “Okay.”
Lin Qingqian went to the kitchen and took out a pot. There was chicken soup as the base. She placed Yushan’s special meatballs and mushrooms and brought them to the dining table. She lit the alcohol stove and went to get the washed vegetables.
Jiang Yanshen looked at her busy figure. His chest, which had been filled with cold wind, gradually warmed up. His gaze swept across the wine jar on the table. “You drank?”
Lin Qingqian replied while preparing the vegetables, “I drank a little with
Auntie since it’s the new year.”
Jiang Yanshen reached out to hold the wine jar and he could tell the wine had been reduced by more than half. How could she call that drinking a little?
His cold fingers reached for her cup.
Lin Qingqian hurriedly stopped him. “You can’t drink.”
Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. “I’ve taken medicine these few days. Shen
Zhiwei said that my condition is very stable so it’s fine to drink a little.”
Lin Qingqian’s brows were tightly knitted, and her eyes were filled with suspicion. Her fingers that were soaked in cold water held onto his large palm tightly, not moving at all.
Jiang Yanshen’s palm was facing up, his fingertips gently sliding across her palm. His low and hoarse voice was filled with temptation as he said, “Just a little, okay?”
Lin Qingqian only felt a numbness in her palm as if she had been electrocuted. She pulled it back instantly and could not help but glare at him.
“Jiang Yanshen, if you dare to go crazy, I’ll get someone to throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves..”
