Jiang Jingchu already knew he would ask this, so he crossed his legs casually.
I will personally handle the renovation of Jinghewan Villa. I may have new ideas and requests to communicate with you from time to time. I don't want to be unable to contact you when I want to."
It sounded reasonable, and Qin Huan had no reason to criticize it.
"Can you extend the time a little, like a week? You know, sometimes I need to travel, so it's impossible for me to just do your order."
Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Don't worry about that. I'll talk to your supervisor. I think as long as the funds are in place, it's entirely feasible to not arrange for you to travel for the short term."
"Well, I have some personal matters to attend to. I can't..."
"For example?"
Jiang Jingchu's eyelids drooped lazily, and his cold expression revealed that he was slightly unhappy.
"You need to go back to Mingxi Mountain to see grandma. Three days is more than enough time for a round trip. If that doesn't work out, bring grandma over here."
When Qin Huan heard this, her eyes suddenly narrowed. Jiang Jingchu didn't know that her grandmother had passed away five years ago.
When grandma was alive, she liked Jiang Jingchu very much. Every time Jiang Jingchu followed Qin Huan back to Mingxi Mountain, grandma would be so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She would run around to take out the delicious food she thought was delicious to treat Jiang Jingchu.
Sometimes when Jiang Jingchu accompanies his grandmother for a walk, she would introduce him to everyone as her grandson-in-law.
Qin Huan clearly remembered that before her grandmother died, she held her hand and repeated Jiang Jingchu's name several times.
It’s a pity that when grandma passed away, her favorite Jiang Jingchu was unable to see her off.
After all these years, if Qin Huan still has any regrets, this is definitely one of them.
When Jiang Jing first saw Qin Huan, he didn't say anything, his thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were dark and unclear.
"Or, is there anyone or anything you can't let go of while you're abroad?"
Qin Huan was suddenly asked and didn't understand what Jiang Jingchu meant for a moment.
He probably doesn't know about Yi Yi's existence, right?
Biting her lip and thinking for a while, Qin Huan said tentatively,
"After all, the head office is in the UK, so it's possible..."
"Is the head office in the UK, or is there someone in the head office in the UK?"
Jiang Jingchu's words were difficult to understand and a bit aggressive.
But Qin Huan inexplicably felt that it had a direction, and something suddenly flashed through her mind.
Pause for two seconds,
"Did you know that Wen Li is my boss?"
Jiang Jingchu's three-dimensional face was half hidden in the shadows, only his pair of moist eyes exuded a bone-chilling chill.
"Why, I shouldn't know?"
Qin Huan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it wasn't because of Yi Yi.
She finally figured it out. No wonder Jiang Jingchu made such a request. It turned out that he was still concerned about the matter between her and Wen Li.
"He and I are just ordinary superiors and subordinates now, and we are also friends."
Jiang Jingchu felt better after receiving her affirmative answer, but he still narrowed his eyes slightly.
"If we break up, then we break up. Why should we still be friends?"
Qin Huan twitched the corner of her mouth.
"If you want, we can be friends."
"I don't want to."
Jiang Jingchu's eyes were filled with strong aggression.
"In my opinion, after a man and a woman break up, there are only two options: get back together or become strangers."
Qin Huan blinked lightly, and her long, thick eyelashes cast a flickering shadow under her eyelids.
"Then why do you still want to cooperate with me? Shouldn't strangers pretend not to know each other even if they meet on the road?"
Jiang Jingchu stared at Qin Huan silently for a long time, with a dark color in his eyes.
After a while, his thin lips opened slightly,
"Did I ever say I wanted to be a stranger to you?"
Later, until she was sitting in the car that Jiang Jingchu was sending her back, Qin Huan still didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Jingchu's words.
He said that he didn't want to be a stranger with her. Does that mean he wanted to get back together with her?
Qin Huan herself thought it was impossible. Just tonight, he and Ji Jingya celebrated Ji's father's birthday together. In front of outsiders, they looked like a pair of deeply in love.
She thought he was just teasing her.
The driver went home, and Jiang Jingchu drove Qin Huan home personally.
It seemed that Qin Huan hadn't spoken much since he said that.
His fingers tapped the steering wheel unconsciously, and he glanced at Qin Huan while looking in the rearview mirror.
She seemed to be in a daze, with a hint of confusion in her downcast eyes. The wind came in through the window, making her curled eyelashes tremble slightly.
Jiang Jingchu's heart also trembled, wondering if that sentence had successfully hinted to Qin Huan.
He was determined to win Qin Huan back.
Ever since Qin Huan came back from England, his life, which had been dead for five years, seemed to suddenly come alive.
During that time, he was tormented by two completely opposite emotions almost every day.
He hated her, but contradictory wanted to see her all the time.
He wanted to take revenge on her, but every time he saw her in pain, he felt even more miserable than she did.
He really didn't know how to get along with Qin Huan.
It was not until Qin Huan returned to England without a word that Jiang Jingchu finally understood.
He knew clearly that he wanted to be with Qin Huan even more urgently than when he was pursuing her before.
Even though she had betrayed their relationship in that way before, he could let it go.
The only uncertainty now is Qin Huan.
Although she said she had no feelings for him at all, Qin Huan was clearly moved by that passionate kiss at the Yangmingshan Hotel.
Jiang Jingchu wasn't really sure that she still had him in her heart.
After all, what she showed was that she was constantly resisting and rejecting him.
Just like two magnets with the same poles, every time Jiang Jingchu tried to get a little closer to her, Qin Huan would retreat as far as she could in response.
This made Jiang Jingchu particularly confused. It was as if Qin Huan was afraid of something and was forcing him to distance himself from him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows.
"Qin Huan, when you broke up with me, you didn't hide anything from me, did you?"
Qin Huan was shocked when she heard this, and her first reaction was: What did he know?
She quickly turned her head to look at Jiang Jingchu, trying to get some information from his face, but at the same time she revealed the panic in her eyes.
Jiang Jingchu looked at Qin Huan's obviously panicked expression, his body stiffened unconsciously, and his tone instantly became much deeper.
"From the look of you, is it true?"
As soon as this question was asked, Qin Huan knew that Jiang Jingchu was just asking casually and knew nothing at all.
The heart that suddenly hung in my throat suddenly returned to its original place.
"There are so many things I've hidden from you. Which one do you want to know?"
Jiang Jingchu's inky black eyes narrowed dangerously.
"Can't you tell me everything?"
Qin Huan silently pinched her still trembling fingers.
"No, I only want to say one thing today."
Jiang Jingchu sneered, and after a while, he stepped back.
"Then tell me what you think is most important."
At this time, Cullinan had quietly parked at the entrance of Qin Huan's community.
Qin Huan silently unbuckled her seat belt. When she looked up again, she met Jiang Jingchu's eyes as deep as a pool, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a faint arc that could not be any fainter.
Then, a soft voice sounded in the car.
"Jiang Jingchu, my grandmother passed away five years ago."
There was dead silence in the car for nearly a minute.
Jiang Jingchu stared at Qin Huan and was stunned for a long time before he finally realized what she said.
The kind old man who always smiles from ear to ear when he sees him and calls him "my grandson-in-law".
She said she died?
That is Qin Huan's only relative in this world.
Jiang Jingchu looked at Qin Huan, and suddenly a strong pain arose in his heart.
It is hard to imagine how she faced the death of her loved ones alone.
When he spoke again, his voice was so low and hoarse that it was almost incoherent.
"Why didn't you tell me then? If I had known, I would definitely have gone to see her off for the last time."
Qin Huan lowered her eyes. She thought she had already accepted the fact that her grandmother had passed away, but when she heard Jiang Jingchu say this, she couldn't help but break down.
It’s just like when a child is bullied outside, he goes home and acts like a spoiled brat to the adults.
Qin Huan's tears came unexpectedly, one drop at a time at first, and then they flowed faster and faster, becoming a string, flowing down her cheeks with a "pat, pat" sound, hitting the back of her hand, splashing out tears.
Jiang Jingchu beside him began to breathe heavier, and bloodshot eyes surged.
The next second, he unbuckled his seat belt with a "click", leaned over, and hugged the pitiful woman in the passenger seat tightly in his arms.
"Don't cry, I'm here."
