Seeing Jiang Jingchu's sudden serious expression, Qin Huan felt uneasy and tightened her grip on the rag.
"No hardship."
Jiang Jingchu said "Oh" and pressed down the corners of his mouth.
Qin Huan's heart was in her throat.
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Jiang Jingchu shook his head.
“There are just some things I can’t figure out.”
For example, how did Cao Fang solve the problem of the money? And why did Qin Huan repeatedly hide the cause of his grandmother's death from him?
After burning the paper, the two walked towards the exit of the cemetery.
Jiang Jingchu asked tentatively,
"Why did Auntie want to sell the house? Is she having financial difficulties?"
Qin Huan's face turned ugly when she heard Cao Fang's name.
"I don't know. I haven't contacted her since I went abroad."
Jiang Jingchu knew that Qin Huan didn't have a very good relationship with her mother, but as mother and daughter, it was indeed a bit unusual for them not to contact each other for five years.
Sensing Qin Huan's resistance when she talked about her mother, Jiang Jingchu didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, they just arrived at the gate of the cemetery. Jiang Jingchu asked Qin Huan to wait for him under a big tree and went to the guard post alone.
Qin Huan looked at Jiang Jingchu's tall and straight back, and thought of what Jiang Jingchu said in the car before. He said, who said you can't keep anything? As long as you want, I can stay with you forever.
Qin Huan looked in the distance where her grandmother was sleeping soundly, slightly lost in thought.
She admitted that at that moment, her heart was shaken wildly.
When Jiang Jingchu came out, Qin Huan was still standing obediently under the shade of a tree waiting for him.
When I saw him coming out, I took a few steps forward to greet him.
"Why are you going to the guard room?"
Jiang Jingchu raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know when I will be able to come back to see grandma next time. I have contacted the cemetery management center and asked them to clean grandma's grave regularly."
This kind of special service must cost extra money.
Qin Huan knew that Jiang Jingchu had money, but this kind of kindness was really rare. She felt as if a feather had brushed her heart.
"Thank you for my grandma."
Jiang Jingchu raised the corners of his eyes in displeasure.
“That’s my grandma too.”
The two got in the car again, not knowing where to go.
Jiang Jingchu suggested that
"Didn't you get two days off? Let's find a place to have a meal later, have a good rest tonight, and then go climb Mingxi Mountain tomorrow."
Qin Huan had no objection and took Jiang Jingchu to a noodle restaurant they used to go to often.
"Boss, one bowl of beef noodles and one bowl of three-fresh noodles."
The boss, wearing a white sweatshirt and a washed-white towel around his neck, continued with a smile,
"Still the same as always, beef noodles without green onions and cilantro?"
Qin Huan was surprised at her boss's good memory, her dark eyes curved.
"Boss, do you still remember us?"
The boss grinned.
"Of course not. You two are both so good-looking. It would be hard for anyone who has seen you to forget you. Plus, your boyfriend is very picky and doesn't eat onions or cilantro.
You didn't tell me the first time you came, but you were so patient and picked them out one by one for him."
Jiang Jingchu also thought of that incident, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. When the two of them were good, Qin Huan was really good to him.
He was spoiled since he was a child, so it's inevitable that he has some of the temperament of a playboy.
Qin Huan always gave in to him and never argued with him.
Knowing that he had a bad stomach, I bought him a lot of diet books. He read and pondered them, and all his time besides studying was spent in the kitchen.
However, it is indeed a shortcoming, and my cooking skills are still not very good.
When the boss saw his old customer, he was in a good mood and couldn't help talking more.
"You two have been together for so many years, I guess your child must be quite grown up now, right?"
Qin Huan was frightened when she heard this, and thought to herself, is this boss's eyes so vicious?
The tea I just drank suddenly choked my throat and I couldn't help coughing.
Jiang Jingchu didn't understand what was going on and thought she was just embarrassed, so he handed her a tissue and patted her on the back across the table.
"She has no children. She went abroad for a while and just returned home not long ago."
The boss said "Oh" and thought of the idol drama he had been watching with his wife these days.
"Oh, that's a reunion after separation. That's great, great. As long as the two of you are still together, you will always have children in the future."
Jiang Jingchu curled his lips,
"I think so too. I'll take advantage of the boss's good words."
I don’t know if it was because of coughing or embarrassment, but Qin Huan’s face was still red for a long time after the boss left.
Jiang Jingchu teased her with great interest.
"Why be embarrassed? There will always be a time to have children in the future."
Qin Huan pursed her lips.
"Do you like children so much?"
Jiang Jingchu took a sip of tea.
"That depends mainly on who the child's mother is. If you gave birth to the child, then you will definitely like him."
Qin Huan suddenly remembered the last time she went back to England, Yi Yi told her,
"Then Mommy, you have to tell Daddy quickly, otherwise Daddy will be so pitiful. He won't even know that he has such a cute baby like me."
I couldn't help laughing out loud.
When Jiang Jingchu saw Qin Huan smile, he also smiled, his narrow eyes slightly curved.
"Why? Are you so happy just thinking about having a child with me in the future that you can't stop smiling?"
Qin Huan suppressed her smile and rolled her eyes at him.
"Who wants to get angry with you? Have some shame."
Jiang Jingchu didn't expect that Qin Huan's reaction would be so interesting when the child was mentioned.
After they finished their noodles, Jiang Jingchu stuffed a few red banknotes into the boss's hand before leaving.
"Boss, next time we come to eat noodles, maybe we'll bring our kids with us."
The boss nodded happily.
"Hey, try to bring two at a time."
Qin Huan was completely speechless.
On the way to the hotel, Jiang Jingchu was inexplicably in a good mood, and Qin Huan was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The two went to the largest hotel in town.
As luck would have it, there was only one room left.
The beautiful lady at the front desk explained that this period is the peak tourist season in Mingxi Mountain and the hotel rooms are extremely tight. If you don’t book in time, this last room might be gone soon.
Just as she finished speaking, a couple came up from behind. The man asked if there were any rooms available. The receptionist was about to answer when Qin Huan gritted her teeth and
"Open one, just open one for us."
Standing in the elevator, Qin Huan thought more and more that this scene seemed strangely familiar. It seemed that all the rooms were booked in Yangmingshan before.
Jiang Jingchu stood silently behind her, holding his mobile phone and sending a message to Gao Fei.
"You've done a good job. I'll reconsider the salary increase next quarter."
Gao Fei replied immediately: "Thank you, boss! Is there anything else I can do for you? I feel full of energy right now, and I have so much to offer."
Jiang Jingchu curled his lips,
"Qin Hua's old house in Mingxi Town has been sold. Take some time out these few days to buy it back."
"Also, check Cao Fang's recent activities to see if you can find any suspicious points from five years ago."
Qin Huan saw the smile on Jiang Jingchu's lips through the mirror in the elevator, and she always felt that something was wrong.
"Jiang Jingchu, you weren't the one who caused the incident in the hotel room, were you?"
Jiang Jingchu immediately put away the smile on his face.
"This is Mingxi Town, your territory. You found the hotel, too. I've been with you from the beginning to the end. What kind of trouble do you think I can cause?"
Qin Huan frowned and thought about it carefully. It seemed that what he said made sense.
"Then it's a deal. After we get in, I'll sleep on the sofa and you'll sleep on the bed. We'll keep to ourselves."
At this moment, the elevator door just opened, and Jiang Jingchu followed Qin Huan out and made a "tsk" sound.
"I slept well last night, why can't I sleep well today?"
Qin Huan paused as she inserted the card, turned around, leaned against the door, and faced Jiang Jingchu.
"Do you agree? If not, you can live here alone, and I will find somewhere else to live."
Seeing that Qin Huan was serious, Jiang Jingchu had no choice but to compromise.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll do as you say. Go in quickly. You're already exhausted."
Jiang Jingchu seemed really tired.
As soon as I entered, I went into the bathroom.
The hotels in town are of low standard and the bathrooms are tacky in design.
The frosted glass makes the people inside appear hazy when viewed from the outside, and their body curves are clearly visible.
After Jiang Jingchu entered, he crossed his hands and lifted the hem of his T-shirt. With a stretch of his hands, the T-shirt was thrown aside. Then he unbuckled his belt and took off his pants.
The dim and blurry light shone on the sturdy figure, giving it an inexplicable sense of abstinence and beauty.
When Qin Huan saw this, she swallowed unconsciously, her cheeks flushed, and she turned her back and played with her phone to divert her attention.
Fortunately, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped soon, and after a while, the door was opened.
"I'm done washing, you go ahead and wash."
Qin Huan said "Oh", looked up, and saw Jiang Jingchu coming out wrapped in a bathrobe.
His belt was tied loosely, revealing a large area of his cold white chest.
His hair was still wet, and glistening water droplets slowly flowed down his handsome features, revealing the alluring curves of his mermaid line...
"Hey, look down, it's the paid items."
