The night was dark and windy.
Suddenly, there was a sound of very light footsteps in the dark bedroom.
Then, a shadow was cast, and the mattress sank slightly. In her sleep, Qin Huan felt a pair of hands holding her in their arms. The smell was very familiar, and she snuggled in again, seeking the warmth.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong, I opened my eyes, and met a pair of bright eyes.
"Jiang Jingchu!"
Qin Huan exclaimed softly,
"Why are you here?"
Jiang Jingchu kissed the top of Qin Huan's head, his voice low,
"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because I thought about my wife sleeping in someone else's bed."
Qin Huan made a "tsk" sound and pushed his chest with her hand.
"Are you annoying? Go back to your room."
Jiang Jingchu tightened his arms around Qin Huan.
"Not unless you go with me."
Qin Huan glanced at Yi Yi who was sleeping soundly beside her.
"She would cry if she woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't find me."
Jiang Jingchu was serious.
"I can do that, too."
Qin Huan took a second to react, and then realized what Jiang Jingchu meant, and her temples throbbed.
"Jiang Jingchu, how can you be so embarrassed to talk to a four-year-old child..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Jingchu suddenly bit her mouth and rubbed it while his hand dishonestly reached inside along the hem of her clothes.
Qin Huan shuddered when she was touched, and her evasive movements became a little bigger.
A little head suddenly popped out from the side, rubbing its eyes.
"Mom, Dad, are you kissing?"
…
Jiang Jingchu sat at his desk, looking at the documents, thinking about how to get the little girl Yi Yi to sleep in a separate room from Qin Huan.
Ever since being caught by Yi Yi that night, Qin Huan locked the door every night before going to bed, treating him as a thief.
The more Jiang Jingchu thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. It had been half a month since they got the marriage certificate, but their marriage relationship had not been confirmed yet!
Just when I was thinking deeply, the old man called me personally and asked me to go home quickly.
Jiang Jingchu could roughly guess what it was.
When he returned to the old house, he still raised his eyebrows when he saw the room full of people.
"Wow! They've all come in great numbers. What's the big deal?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a teacup smashed to pieces at his feet.
Jiang Jingchu frowned and brushed off the tea that splashed onto his trouser legs.
"Grandpa, what do you mean?"
"You bastard! How dare you call me grandpa!"
Mr. Jiang was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"Tell me! Who gave you the courage to get a marriage certificate?"
Jiang Jingchu laughed when he heard this, then slowly found a chair and sat down.
"Speaking of this matter, I was planning to bring it up with you later, but I didn't expect you to be so well-informed."
Upon hearing Jiang Jingchu admit it himself, Jiang Chengwang, Yuan Mei, and even Old Mrs. Jiang looked at him in disbelief.
"Xiaochu? Are you really married? Why don't you bring your wife home to meet grandma?"
The old lady didn't think as much as others did. She was only concerned about which family's daughter Jiang Jingchu married.
"mom!"
Although Yuan Mei had been divorced from Jiang Chengwang for many years, he still did not change his way of addressing her and called Old Mrs. Jiang "Mom."
She pulled the old lady aside, her expression particularly ugly and stern.
"Jiang Chengwang, you don't even care about your son!"
Jiang Chengwang has been focusing on the family he established later in life.
I feel indebted to Jiang Jingchu.
In addition, Jiang Jingchu's achievements since joining the company have been obvious to all, so he usually turns a blind eye to his carelessness.
But this time, he was really angered by Jiang Jingchu's attitude of executing without reporting.
"Jiang Jingchu, you are absolutely outrageous. You are still engaged to Jingya. If you do this, where will she be, and where will the entire Ji family be?"
Facing Jiang Chengwang's thunderous anger, Jiang Jingchu just raised his eyebrows slightly.
"To be honest with you, the engagement with Ji Jingya was originally discussed with her to deal with various blind dates. She and I have no feelings for each other, and we had already discussed breaking off the engagement. We would find a suitable opportunity to announce it when she went abroad."
The old man's beard was almost crooked with anger when he heard this. He poked the ground hard with his cane.
"You little brat! As the successor to the Jiang Group, you don't consider the overall situation at all. How can your father and I trust you to leave Jiang Group to you?"
The reason why Yuan Mei had been taking the trouble to arrange things for Jiang Jingchu was that he was worried that the identity of Jiang's heir would fall into the hands of Jiang Chengwang's youngest son.
Now, after hearing what the old man said, he suddenly became anxious.
"Jingchu, your statement of no feelings is just one-sided. I will never allow you to cancel your engagement with the Ji family, and I will never allow you to let a woman of unknown origin enter the Jiang family!"
Jiang Jingchu raised his eyes and glanced at Yuan Mei coldly.
"Ms. Yuan, on what basis are you not allowing her to enter the Jiang family? If I remember correctly, you were no longer a member of the Jiang family more than ten years ago, right?"
Yuan Mei was choked by Jiang Jingchu's words.
"Besides, who said her origins are unknown? I've known her for nine years, from her freshman year until now. I know where she's from, how many people are in her family, where she went to college, where she interned, and where she works now. No one knows her better than me."
Seeing that Jiang Jingchu was unmoved and even used the divorce incident with Jiang Chengwang to confront her, Yuan Mei was so angry that she had a heart attack.
"Then did you know her mother was a gambler? A woman whose father died young, whose mother was addicted to gambling, and who grew up relying on the deceptions of an old woman, ask your grandparents, would they accept such a granddaughter-in-law?"
After Yuan Mei finished speaking, the air was silent.
Old man, Jiang Chengwang’s face became even gloomier than before.
After hearing what Yuan Mei said, the old lady realized that Jiang Jingchu's marriage partner might be the woman who almost took Jiang Jingchu's life five years ago. She was so eager to see her grandson's wife, but now she became hesitant.
Jiang Jingchu's face showed a gloomy look, and he licked his back teeth.
"Ms. Yuan, have you investigated her privately?"
Jiang Jingchu has always been nonchalant in front of his elders, but his lukewarm attitude at this moment made Yuan Mei feel a huge pressure.
I realized belatedly that I had let the cat out of the bag and I didn't know where to look.
"You got the marriage certificate without saying anything, so I can't investigate her background?"
Jiang Jingchu looked at Yuan Mei deeply for a while and nodded.
"Of course, but I have to clarify what you said. Her father died young, which was not her fault. Her mother was addicted to gambling and didn't raise her, which was certainly not her fault. As for your accusation that her grandmother was a swindler, I don't agree. She was just fortune-telling, relying on her own abilities."
After hearing this, Mr. Jiang looked down on him even more and snorted coldly.
"So, what your mother said is true?"
Jiang Jingchu did not deny it, and glanced at everyone present with a deep and straight gaze.
"I married Qin Huan as a person, not her family. All the evidence Ms. Yuan used to defame her is precisely what I care about most about her."
After Jiang Jingchu finished speaking, he stood up and bowed slightly to everyone present.
"I'm already married. I'll naturally make arrangements with the Ji family, and I'll definitely handle it perfectly. As for whether or not to let my wife marry into the Jiang family in the future, you don't have to take it too seriously. After all, Qin Huan and I don't care."
…
When Jiang Jingchu returned home, Qin Huan had just coaxed Yi Yi to sleep.
She sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a pure white silk nightgown, her hair draped quietly on her shoulders like seaweed. The warm yellow bedside lamp shone on her, making her skin bright and white.
Jiang Jingchu leaned against the door and looked at her quietly for a while, said nothing, and returned to the living room.
Qin Huan felt something was wrong with him, so she covered Yi Yi with the quilt, went out, and found Jiang Jingchu smoking on the balcony.
"What’s wrong with you?"
When Jiang Jingchu saw Qin Huan coming over, he subconsciously put out the cigarette in his hand, stretched out his long arm, pulled Qin Huan into his arms, and rubbed his chin on Qin Huan's shoulder.
"Nothing, I'm just a little jealous. Ever since Yi Yi came back, you haven't paid much attention to me."
Qin Huan curled her lips and put her arms around Jiang Jingchu's waist.
"Yiyi just returned to China. Once she gets used to it, she won't be so clingy to me anymore."
Jiang Jingchu uttered a lazy "hmm" through his nose.
"I know."
Paused.
"Qin Huan, due to the cancellation of my engagement with Ji Jingya, I may not be able to take you back to meet my family for the time being."
Qin Huan knew that Jiang Jingchu was hiding something in his heart. She knew in her heart that Yuan Mei was not satisfied with her and it was impossible for him to accept her in a short period of time.
She also didn't want Jiang Jingchu to be embarrassed between them.
"Jiang Jingchu, I don't care about these things. It doesn't matter to me whether we meet or not. As long as you and Yi Yi are by my side, that's more important than anything else."
