When Chen Qing met Jiang Jingyan, he was, like in the eyes of the outside world, impossibly high above her.
This was because for most of his life, Mr. Jiang had maintained a pristine, upright...
Chapter 117 What are you doing to me?
Haven't seen you for a week.
Chen Qing clenched his fingers, his eyes swept across the two of them, but he didn't know where to look.
Jiang Jingyan's face was hidden in the shadows, his outline was not very clear, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he exuded a cold air.
After leaving the hospital, Chen Qing didn't send him any messages, and her call logs were empty, as if she had decided that the relationship was over with just a few words from her. He was also holding back, not contacting her, not asking about her, until today, when Lian Zhuo said she had come to the ancient town.
Wei Yin's injury had not yet fully healed, and when she learned that the performance would require a replacement, she begged Wei Liang to coordinate. Mrs. Jiang happened to be in the ward, and she agreed immediately and asked Jiang Jingyan to bring her over to meet the leader.
"The inspection team is still asking where you've been," he said sarcastically, "and it turns out you have a date with a beautiful woman."
Chen Qing's face flushed, and he helped to explain, "Mr. Yan came to give me the ointment."
"The Yan family has some good stuff. I wonder if there are any extra ones? Please give me one."
She just thought Jiang Jingyan was going to ask for it on Wei Yin's behalf, so she took a deep breath and retorted, "Mr. Jiang has a lot of good medicinal herbs at home. Is there anything you want?"
The man had a gloomy face.
Wei Yin quickly tried to smooth things over, "Mrs. Jiang gave me a lot of things, but I really don't need them anymore..."
Chen Qing lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then his tone softened. "How is your recovery going?"
"I'm fine, but I can't move around much. I came here today to see if it's possible to coordinate the time for next week's general rehearsal."
Jiang Jingyan looked away, "The doctor doesn't recommend going on stage."
"Yes, my brother scolded me all the way, saying I was willful and even bothered Mr. Jiang to accompany me." Wei Yin smiled sheepishly, "Qing'er, I heard you were injured too. Are you healed?"
Chen Qing felt an inexplicable soreness in his nose and uttered a "hmm".
Yan Baiqing noticed her mood and interrupted the small talk, "I'll talk to the organizer about Miss Wei's matter. Jingyan, I only brought Qing'er a portion of ointment today. Next time, I'll send someone to the hospital."
After saying that, he gave Chen Qing a light push from behind.
She walked forward and passed by Jiang Jingyan.
Yan Baiqing remained silent all the way to the school meeting point. They were the same age, both injured. Wei Yin had her family's concern, Madam Jiang's protection, and now even Jiang Jingyan accompanied her everywhere. Chen Qing was left alone.
Just now at the door of the locker room, he took a quick look and found that the gauze on her calf wound had been changed and the bandage was extremely rough. It must have been soaked in water when she took a shower last night, and she didn't want to bother going to the hospital, so she changed it at home. The knot was a crooked bow.
Funny and heartwarming.
Yan Baiqing held her close, his voice clear and magnetic, "Do you have any plans tonight?"
Chen Qing was still confused and answered honestly, "No."
"My mother was reckless during the incident at Shuixie Hall, and she hasn't formally apologized to you yet."
She smiled, "It's okay, you saved me that time too, so it cancels it out."
"So generous?"
"But I do want to know, how did Director Yan know the relationship between Boss Huang and me?"
Yan Baiqing didn't hide anything from her, but only told her half of it. "Boss Huang has some businesses that are related to Yan's. Yan's found out some of them when they were doing background checks."
There was a lot of noise around, Chen Qing looked around, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
The man laughed out loud. "Why are you sneaking around like that? Just say what you want to say. I won't make a fuss."
"Is your mother... having a conflict with Mrs. Jiang?"
Chen Qing mustered up the courage to ask this question, which went beyond her bounds. On the one hand, she wanted to dampen Yan Baiqing's interest in her, and on the other hand, she was really curious.
Yan Baiqing put his hands behind his back and pondered, "It's a grudge from the previous generation."
Her heart skipped a beat.
Considering Jiang Jingyan's outrageous temptation to test Mrs. Jiang when they were at the Jiang family, could it be that Yan Baiqing's unknown life secret is related to the Jiang family?
"What about you and the Jiang family?"
"Jingyan and I have been comrades for many years. I have always respected Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. I don't have my mother's ambition."
This undoubtedly confirmed her guess.
Chen Qing had an expression as if he had eaten a melon, which made Yan Baiqing laugh completely.
His figure blocked the scorching sun, and he reached out to wipe the sweat off the tip of her nose. "I thought you were in a bad mood, but it seems I was worrying too much."
The light in Chen Qing's eyes dimmed, and he turned around and continued walking, "There's nothing to be upset about."
In the end, she did not accept Yan Baiqing's invitation.
The confusing relationship with Jiang Jingyan has already made her tired, and if something else is involved, it will be even more troublesome.
When I returned to the apartment, the sky was bright red and the sunset was just right.
Chen Qing rested for a while and prepared to take a shower.
Since she couldn't take a shower due to her calf injury, she cleaned the bathtub, filled it with water, and lay down in it.
The sound of splashing water covered up the noise outside the door. When she reacted, Jiang Jingyan came into the room and stood at the bathroom door, unbuttoning his shirt.
"What are you doing here?"
The man loosened his belt buckle, his face expressionless, "My territory."
Chen Qing shielded his chest with his arms, but his injured leg was resting on the edge of the bathtub, with his knees together facing him.
Jiang Jingyan moved his gaze there and stepped in.
She was anxious, "You go out first!"
"Why?"
"Then I'll go out. You use it and I'll use it."
Chen Qing climbed out of the water in a hurry and pulled the bath towel around his chest.
The shielding effect was not very good and I almost fell down.
Jiang Jingyan strode forward and picked her up, "Soak yours, I'll help you wash."
Chen Qing's face flushed, not sure if it was because of the heat or embarrassment. She broke away from him and said, "I don't need your help—"
The two had done it in the bathtub. That time, she happened to meet Yan Baiqing privately, and the man's crazy and brutal moves were too much for her to bear.
The experience was good, but the body also suffered. Jiang Jingyan was a person who would not stop until he had released his sexual desire, so Chen Qing did not dare to do it a second time.
Her feet were slippery, and even though she struggled to get free, she fell back into his arms.
At first glance, it seems like a trick of playing both sides.
"What are you doing to me?" He said in a bad tone and a deep voice.
Chen Qing pursed her lips, her narrow face pressed against his chest, "I didn't make a fuss, I was afraid that Miss Wei and Madam Jiang would find out."
"You're the one who said the harsh words, but you're the one who's taking it out on me?" He laughed angrily. "When did I ever agree to that?"
She couldn't answer and pushed in vain.
Jiang Jingyan's trousers were wet, highlighting his outline. He pulled down the zipper, kicked his legs, and threw them aside.
"Behave yourself." He pushed Chen Qing into the water, seemingly savagely, but actually he was holding the back of his neck and exerting force.
Chen Qing had nothing to grab, so he could only grab the lapel of his shirt.
As soon as she lay down, the man grabbed her ankles and put them on his shoulders.
