When Zhou Tiantian saw Qin Huan answer the phone, her face darkened instantly. She had a hunch that something was wrong, and then she saw Qin Huan walking towards the bathroom with the phone.
She was very worried and followed him to the bathroom. Through the door, she heard Qin Huan's deliberately lowered and angry voice.
"Why can't I come back? I can't stay abroad forever!"
"From childhood to adulthood, you only care about yourself. You don't care about grandma, you don't care about me, and you even sold the house that grandma has guarded her whole life!"
"Our mother-daughter relationship ended five years ago. I said then that from now on, no matter what happens to you, it has nothing to do with me."
As the last sentence was spoken, the bathroom door was violently opened.
There was still lingering anger in Qin Huan's eyes. When she saw Zhou Tiantian waiting outside the door, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
"Is it Auntie? Does she know you're back?"
Qin Huan nodded, walked to the sink, scooped up some water and poured it on her face, as if this could extinguish the anger in her chest.
"What does she want to do now? Wasn't it enough that she hurt you five years ago?"
Qin Huan leaned her hands on both sides of the sink, and the water on her cheeks dripped down.
After a long time, her mood finally calmed down.
"Maybe the person who bought my old house contacted her. She knew I was back and called to warn me not to get involved with Jiang Jingchu anymore."
“Why?”
Zhou Tiantian gritted her teeth in anger.
"Why should you pay for her mistakes?"
"Is she still a human being? She's not even fit to be a mother!"
Qin Huan didn't say anything. She had long since given up any hope in Cao Fang, so at this moment, apart from anger, she didn't feel any heartache.
"Huan'er, you must not listen to her this time. You were forced to separate from Brother Jing because of her. Now that you know that Brother Jing has always had you in his heart, why do you still care so much about her? Just follow your heart."
Qin Huan didn't respond. She was so upset that she went straight home without even finishing her meal.
Unexpectedly, I met Wen Li downstairs.
It seemed as if she had been waiting under the street light for a long time. She was tall and slender, with a dim halo all around her.
Seeing Qin Huan, he smiled slightly and came forward to greet her.
"I'm going back to England tomorrow, so I came to see you before I leave."
"So soon?"
Qin Huan was a little surprised. It had been almost a week since Wen Li came back, and she had only had dinner with him that day. She hadn't even been able to watch his concert with him.
I'm sorry,
"Then come up to my house and have a cup of tea."
Wen Li looked up at the window upstairs and did not refuse.
After entering the door, Qin Huan gave Wen Li a pair of disposable slippers.
Wen Li was sharp-eyed and saw a pair of men's slippers in the shoe cabinet, and his eyes darkened.
"Jiang Jingchu has been here?"
Qin Huan followed his gaze and felt a little embarrassed.
"Last time I caught a cold, he came to take care of me. His assistant bought those things for him and put them here."
Wen Li nodded without saying anything. After entering, he sat on the sofa and silently observed Qin Huan's house.
Qin Huan boiled some water and made a cup of tea for Wen Li. When she brought it over, she asked casually,
"When will you come back next time?"
"I think it will be soon. This time I returned to China to investigate the domestic market and I want to focus on the domestic market."
Qin Huan was slightly surprised.
"Why do you suddenly have such a plan?"
Wen Li looked at Qin Huan, his gentle eyes mixed with a hint of joking.
"If you don't go to England, I will follow you back."
Qin Huan subconsciously turned her eyes away when she heard that.
"Wen Li, you don't have to be like this. I've already said it before, I only consider you a friend."
Wen Li's tone was calm, but clearly stubborn.
"Qin Huan, friends can also become lovers, or even husband and wife. Such a relationship is more stable than love at first sight or a passionate love like the one between you and Jiang Jingchu."
"I don't mind whether you still have feelings for Jiang Jingchu in your heart. I just hope that you can give me a chance. If we don't try, how do you know that we can't do it?"
Qin Huan was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
This was the first time that Wen Li was so eager to get her consent since he confessed his love to her before returning to China.
Qin Huan was still thinking about the matter between her and Jiang Jingchu, so it was impossible for her to agree to Wen Li at the same time. After thinking about it,
"Wen Li, I've known you for six or seven years. Putting Jiang Jingchu aside, if I were interested in you, I would have been interested a long time ago. If I'm still not interested in you, then it means there's really no attraction."
Wen Li chuckled when he heard this.
"Qin Huan, you're still too arbitrary. It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. After Jiang Jingchu gets married, maybe your mindset will change."
After leaving these words, Wen Li left without even touching the tea on the table.
Qin Huan sat on the sofa, looking at the white mist rising from the teacup, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Wen Li said to wait until Jiang Jingchu got married, but Jiang Jingchu said that he would never marry Ji Jingya.
Their tone was so firm that Qin Huan was dazed for a moment.
I didn't sleep much that night and went to the company the next day with big dark circles under my eyes.
As soon as she arrived, the front desk clerk called her and asked her to go out and sign for the express delivery.
Qin Huan had not yet fully recovered when she saw the bouquet of Ecuadorian roses as big as a bowl.
The receptionist saw such a good quality rose for the first time and was full of envy.
"Team Leader Qin, was it given to you by your boyfriend? That's quite generous!"
Qin Huan twitched the corner of her mouth.
"I don't have a boyfriend."
"So it was given by the suitor?"
Qin Huan didn't respond. She turned over the card and saw only a simple English letter on it - "J".
Jiang Jingchu's message came right after.
"Did you receive the flowers?"
Qin Huan put the card back in a listless manner and walked towards the office holding the flowers. She felt the gazes of everyone in the cubicle.
"I got it. It's too ostentatious. Don't send it next time."
Jiang Jingchu, "Then you have to get used to it again."
Qin Huan: ...
Jiang Jingchu saw that she was not in a good mood.
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
Qin Huan, "No, maybe I'm a little tired from working overtime these days."
Jiang Jingchu: "I'm going back to North City this afternoon. Han Xian is having a bachelor party tonight. Do you want to go?"
Qin Huan didn't want to join in the fun.
"No, go home and sleep. I'll be a bridesmaid tomorrow and I'll be busy."
Jiang Jingchu thought about it and didn't force it.
"There will be another express delivery to your company this afternoon, please remember to check it."
Qin Huan frowned.
"What did you send?"
Jiang Jingchu: "Yesterday I went to the mall and saw a dress that I thought was perfect for you. Wear it to me tomorrow when you go to Zhou Tiantian's wedding."
Qin Huan curled her lips slightly, "I understand."
In the afternoon, the express arrived on time. Qin Huan opened the package and found that it was the latest model of the season from a big brand. It was an elegant yet sexy skirt, but the color was a bit similar to the one Yuan Mei gave to Ji Jingya, both in the bean paste color system.
Also delivered was a set of accessories that matched the dress, a necklace and earrings inlaid with rubies, which sparkled brightly under the light. Just looking at the appearance, you could tell that they were worth a lot of money.
Qin Huan just took a look and put it away.
Since she had to get up to help Zhou Tiantian with her makeup the next day, Qin Huan took a shower and went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, I was half asleep when someone suddenly knocked on the door of the living room.
She squinted her eyes and went to open the door. Before she could see the person outside, a scent of cold pine mixed with a strong hint of alcohol wafted into her nose.
Then she was embraced by a pair of strong and powerful arms, which wrapped her body and carried her back to the sofa in the living room.
"Jiang Jingchu..."
Qin Huan's soft tone still carried a hint of sleepiness.
Jiang Jingchu was so distracted that his lips could not wait to find her lips, licking and biting them.
"Missed me, huh?"
His originally magnetic voice sounded even hoarse in the silent darkness.
Qin Huan nodded subconsciously. As soon as her lips opened, Jiang Jingchu's long tongue took advantage of the opportunity and entered her mouth, conquering it.
"I miss you too, so much. I wish I could have you by my side every day."
Jiang Jingchu's drunken breath sprayed on Qin Huan's ears, and Qin Huan shuddered.
Her body softened and Jiang Jingchu pressed her down on the sofa.
"Qin Huan, Huan'er..."
Jiang Jingchu seemed to be possessed. He kissed her and pinched her soft waist, wishing he could embed her into his body.
They were kissing passionately when Qin Huan suddenly let out a hiss.
I felt something hard hitting my back.
"What?"
She pushed Jiang Jingchu away and reached out to turn on the light in the living room.
When the light was turned on, Jiang Jingchu had already taken the thing in his hand. When Qin Huan regained her sight and wanted to see what it was, she found that Jiang Jingchu's face suddenly became terribly gloomy.
Qin Huan had a particularly bad feeling in her heart, and her pupils shrank slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Jingchu's eyes were bloodshot. He opened the men's wallet in his hand and pointed it at Qin Huan.
"Can you explain to me what this is?"
