Chapter 2 I've Been in Charge of You for Six Years

Jiang Jingyan is a traditional tough guy who doesn't like the smell of perfume and rouge. All his clothes have a cool incense scent all year round.

Chen Qing was held in his arms, his ear pressed tightly against his strong chest, and that absurd night involuntarily emerged in his mind.

After the college entrance examination, Jiang Jingyan learned that she was admitted to a school in the city, so he bought her an apartment in the city center so that she would have a place to stay during the winter and summer vacations.

He never set foot there during his entire freshman semester except for the Spring Festival.

Starting in her sophomore year, Chen Qing took on two extra part-time jobs, finally saving enough for rent and quickly renting a large studio apartment near campus. On the 10th of last month, during winter break, she went downtown to move her belongings when she ran into Jiang Jingyan, who had unexpectedly returned.

Over the years, she has had feelings and selfish desires for this man, but she never dared to expect anything.

That night, Jiang Jingyan lost his composure after drinking and blocked Chen Qing in front of the bathroom mirror.

Perhaps considering that it was her first time, he restrained himself and didn't do anything too harsh on her.

So much so that Chen Qing was confused and infatuated.

Afterwards, she searched for relevant information online and accidentally saw a statement that when a man is really drunk, he will be neither interested nor energetic in bed.

Chen Qing was initially moved, thinking that Jiang Jingyan had some feelings for her, but after waking up, she saw the news and changed her mind.

Even if there is, so what?

She was an orphan, her parents imprisoned for crimes. The Jiang family was a royal family of power, and Jiang Jingyan was an only child. The difference between them was more than just heaven and earth.

It's just a temporary pursuit of novelty and fun, don't take it to heart.

Chen Qing was pushed into the back seat in a trance. She held the door tightly and said, "Mr. Jiang..."

"Go in." Jiang Jingyan's entire body was submerged in darkness, and his voice was deep and mellow. "Don't make any noise."

She obeyed instantly and moved to sit on the other side of the back seat.

Jiang Jingyan appeared at the police station late at night. If he was seen, no matter what the reason was, it would have a bad impact.

The car door slammed shut.

Chen Qing was wearing his coat, turned his head, and stared at the man's profile through the car window.

Jiang Jingyan rubbed the lighter with a bit of annoyance. She knew that she had caused him trouble again.

After a long while, he leaned over the passenger seat and told the driver, "Send her back."

Chen Qing took off his coat and pushed the car door open. "Mr. Jiang, it's cold, please wear some clothes."

"No need." Jiang Jingyan stuffed her back into the car and said, "Wait for me at home."

At home...

Chen Qing clenched his fists and suppressed the waves in his heart.

The driver took her back to her downtown apartment.

As she entered the house, the cook happened to be about to go out. Seeing her, she bowed and greeted, "Is this Miss Chen? Secretary Lian asked me to prepare a set of clean clothes and put them in the closet in the master bedroom."

The secretary's name is Lian Zhuo. He followed Jiang Jingyan when he was in the army and retired with him.

Chen Qing bowed slightly and thanked his aunt, "Thank you for the trouble."

"Well, you're welcome! I just made the meal, and I was afraid you'd be late so it might be in the pot. I'll bring it out for you."

Before she could refuse, her aunt quickly placed everything on the table and said goodbye.

The room was empty in an instant.

Chen Qing took off his coat and searched it over and over but couldn't find the label.

It's a custom made item, so I don't know if it can be cleaned.

She pursed her lips and pulled out her phone to check the balance on her card. Luckily, she had already paid her rent and deposit, so she could afford the loss. She would continue to work part-time, and that would cover her expenses for the next semester.

After dinner, Chen Qing was afraid of dirtying the sofa, so he sat on a high stool by the island counter and waited for Jiang Jingyan to come back.

The room was warm and sleepy.

She went to an erhu training camp as an assistant teacher in the morning. She got up too early and her head was dizzy in such an environment.

It was already late at night when the sound came from the entrance.

Chen Qing suddenly straightened his back, stood on the ground, and pulled out a wet towel to wipe the seat.

The man was wrapped in the cold air outside and approached slowly, "Why don't you take a shower?"

She rolled up the tissue and turned around. "I'll go back—"

"Go wash it." Jiang Jingyan took off his watch and threw it away. "Why are you so stubborn?"

Chen Qing licked his lower lip and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't have to worry about me today."

"I've been taking care of you for six years, one day won't make a difference."

“It used to be possible.”

Jiang Jingyan paused as he unbuttoned his shirt and stared at her, "Now?"

Chen Qing's nails dug into his palms and he couldn't help but take a half step back.

The man's sudden approach, with such a strong aura, made her unable to raise her head.

This distance was too intimate, just like that night when Jiang Jingyan found her here pulling a suitcase. He didn't listen to her explanation at all, kicked it away rudely, grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the bathroom.

Clothes were scattered along the way, and he kissed her deeply all the way.

In the past six years, she has witnessed the rigorous Jiang Jingyan, the sharp Jiang Jingyan, and even the Jiang Jingyan at his peak.

Only on that day, in this apartment isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the man's hidden aggressiveness was fully released on her for the first time.

It made her scared and confused.
