Chapter 99 The Smell of a Man

Chen Qing tilted her head back, unable to resist his kiss. "Didn't you say that coming back again would be a violation of discipline?"

"Something happened earlier."

Jiang Jingyan leaned over, loosened her shirt with one hand, and leaned down to push her back onto the bed.

Chen Qing's mind was full of whether he had kept the letter. Suddenly, he felt a chill in his lower back and his heart was lifted.

The man heard the noise and paused, "What is that?"

She put her arms around his neck and kissed his chin, "You fell asleep while reading the music sheet."

"I heard what Mrs. Luo said." Jiang Jingyan didn't doubt it and reached out to brush away the loose hair from her forehead. "Get ready. Director Zhang will be there."

"Um."

"How did your leg get hurt?"

"...I broke the water cup. I cut myself accidentally."

Jiang Jingyan stood up and grabbed her ankle.

Outside the window was the afterglow of the setting sun, spreading across his exposed chest, exuding a unique wildness despite his dusty appearance.

Jiang Jingyan came back to find her as soon as he landed.

The plan went smoothly, and several senior executives of Huasheng were detained at home by the Economic Investigation Team, and their superiors were waiting for him to go to a meeting to report.

"No medicine?"

Jiang Jingyan went to the living room to get the medicine box without saying anything.

The wound was quite deep, and the glass shards flew onto Chen Qing's leg. Boss Huang's bodyguard dragged her for a distance, and the glass shards penetrated deeply into the flesh.

When she was taking a bath, she picked it out with tweezers and rinsed it clean with water. There was a groove the size of a fingernail.

While Jiang Jingyan was out, Chen Qing quickly hid the envelope on the second layer of the bedside table, where she kept her music scores, and no one would open it easily.

After confirming that it was hidden properly, her hands were sweating.

"You cooked for yourself?" Jiang Jingyan replied, "Why don't you ask Auntie to come over?"

Chen Qing's heart, which had just settled down, became anxious again and he forgot about it.

"Well," she replied halfheartedly, "I don't want to bother."

Jiang Jingyan's smile was very faint, "I remember you don't know how to cook shrimp."

Chen Qingqiang pretended to be calm and kept his breathing steady. "I learned it from an online tutorial."

"Let Auntie do this kind of thing in the future."

She breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, "Okay."

Jiang Jingyan didn't stay for too long. He took a shower and changed his clothes. Lian Zhuo came in to urge him to leave.

Chen Qing sat on the edge of the sofa and swung his legs. The place where he applied the medicine felt like it was being pricked by needles, and this made it feel better.

She looked at the man's back and asked, "Will you come back tonight?"

"It will be very late." Jiang Jingyan turned around and glanced at her, "Go to bed early, don't wait for me."

"I have to go to school for rehearsal at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

"knew."

Chen Qing watched his car leave from the window, then turned around and cleaned the house.

He checked inside and out, fearing that Yan Baiqing might have left any traces.

In the car speeding on the road, Jiang Jingyan leaned against the seat with a gloomy expression on his face.

Lian Zhuo turned sideways, hesitant, "The security guard said that Miss Chen came back with a man at noon."

Jiang Jingyan narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Even if the security guard didn't say it, he could smell a strange smell in the house.

He never uses any perfume, and neither does Chen Qing. Mrs. Luo is going back to Zhounan today, and besides, that smell is not that of women's perfume.

Lian Zhuo was worried. Jiang Jingyan's status meant he couldn't arrange for bodyguards for Chen Qing. It wasn't appropriate for a student to have bodyguards around, so he had specifically instructed the security guards. Chen Qing was unaware of this, as Jiang Jingyan was concerned about her situation and worried that she might have a psychological trauma from being monitored.

Halfway through the journey.

Jiang Jingyan rubbed his brows and asked, "Where are Boss Huang and his five men?"

"They'll be settled in the western suburbs clubhouse. Young Master Xiao will be bringing his people to entertain them."

"How did Huamei get away last night?"

Lian Zhuo's expression was serious. "Our people followed her all the way and might have been discovered."

"Where's Ji Mingyin?"

"According to your instructions, he escaped to the vicinity of the Mu family."

Jiang Jingyan increased the strength of his kneading.

Lian Zhuo was worried, "You should get some sleep."

The man didn't respond.

Jiang Jingyan hadn't slept for two days and two nights outside the province, and something went wrong with the plan from his superiors. After he arrived, he turned the tide, not only did he not affect the progress, but he also dug up some extra inside information about Huasheng.

Last night, when he was extremely busy, he received news from home that Hua Mei was making some moves. Jiang Jingyan was worried that she would attack Chen Qing, so he made arrangements overnight to try to get a chance to return to the city today.

It is no exaggeration to say that we have put all our efforts into it.

Two thirty-five in the morning.

Jiang Jingyan left the conference room.

He took the last step and paused.

Yan Baiqing said goodbye to several colleagues and turned around. "Are you back?"

The tone is intimate and natural.

Jiang Jingyan nodded, "Brother, you've adapted well. Just now, several senior leaders praised the opening ceremony."

"It's all thanks to Huasheng." He took two steps closer.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and Jiang Jingyan's eyebrows jumped, and his eyes swept across Yan Baiqing's collar.

Their eyes met, and a hint of gunpowder filled the air.

Yan Baiqing chuckled, "Have you heard about Qing'er's participation in the commercial performance?"

"Um."

"You don't mind?"

Jiang Jing's tone was somewhat sarcastic, "What do you mind?"

"I thought you were just like other men."

He waited for Yan Baiqing's next words.

The latter's smile deepened, "It's too late, go back and accompany her."

…

When Jiang Jingyan returned to the apartment, the wall lamp in the entrance was on.

Chen Qing lay on his side on the sofa with a thin blanket covering his legs.

He closed the door, tiptoed closer, and heard long breathing sounds.

After buying this apartment, Jiang Jingyan rarely came here.

Last year during the Spring Festival, he also came in late at night, and Chen Qing stood under the lamp to greet him with a New Year's gift.

There was a lively New Year program on TV. Her eyebrows were full of excitement as she shouted "Happy New Year and all the best". She looked fair and innocent, jumping up and down, her long hair brushing against his chest.

Soothe away the fatigue from working around the clock.

Jiang Jingyan lifted the ends of her hair that were scattered on the edge of the sofa, put his arm around her neck, and held her sideways.

Chen Qing had nightmares constantly and even had sleep paralysis on the sofa, unable to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

It wasn't until Jiang Jingyan put her on the bed that she opened her eyes and her heart was pounding.

Burying her head in his shoulder, she nasally asked, "Why are you so late?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jingyan placed the back of his hand against the back of her neck. "You're sweating."

"I had a lot of nightmares."

"The pajamas are wet, change into new ones."

Chen Qing stood up obediently.

Jiang Jingyan grabbed her wrist, his thumb lingering there, "After the meeting, I ran into my senior brother."

"Oh." She pulled her hand away.

The man suddenly pulled hard, clasped his palm behind her head, and pulled her closer.

Under the dim light, Chen Qing saw the anger welling up in his eyes.
