Chapter 33 Mint Candy

Looking at the stunned expressions of the reporters, Lin Jianyan frowned slightly, his heart full of confusion. He turned to Qin Wu beside him and asked, "What's wrong? Why do they look like that? Did I say something bad?"

Qin Wu looked at Lin Jianyan with a brilliant smile on his face and his eyes full of praise. He smiled and gave Lin Jianyan a thumbs up, his tone full of pride, "No, you said it very well."

Qin Wu held his shoulders openly, ignoring those stupid lines, "Let's go, it's over, let's go home."

After watching them walk away, it took a while for someone to come back to their senses. He took off the reporter's card from his neck, threw it to the ground and stomped on it, then wiped his eyes with his arm, "Fuck! I quit! I miss the barbecued rice my mother made."

Some people chose to resign like him, while others, in order to make a living, silently wiped away their tears and chose to return to their jobs and start writing.

…

Lin Jianyan sat in the car, looking at Qin Wu who had been in a good mood from the beginning, "What are you laughing at? The corners of your mouth have not dropped since the beginning. What's so funny?"

Qin Wu leaned his upper body and leaned on his shoulder. "It's nothing. I'm just happy to think that you belong to me."

Lin Jianyan rolled his eyes and said, "Stop making trouble and get down to business. Have you dealt with Wang Biao's affairs?"

Qin Wu sat up straight and cleared his throat. "You are still worried about my work. As long as he goes in, good days will be waiting for him in the future."

Lin Jianyan glanced at him and said, "If Zhou Wanwan hadn't happened, would you really let these scumbags only be sentenced to three to five years?"

"Be it three to five years, or even one to two years, they will definitely be happy in prison." Qin Wu took out a box of cigarettes from his bag, then put it back, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Lin Jianyan understood and chuckled, "As expected of you."

Qin Wu saw his expression and felt his teeth itching. He wanted to bite something. "I want to smoke."

Lin Jianyan took out a candy from his coat pocket, tore open the package and stuffed it into his mouth, "Eat the candy."

Qin Wu held the candy in his mouth and savored it carefully. A hint of coolness spread across his tongue. It was a mint-flavored hard candy. The unique coolness seemed to instantly dispel the heat and noise around him.

The next moment, he clenched his teeth and bit the candy hard, making a crunching sound. As the candy was chewed, the cool taste spread more and more strongly in his mouth, stimulating his taste buds, "Where did it come from?"

He doesn't like sweets, so the fruit plates at home are usually filled with fruits and nuts, rarely candies or the like.

"I bought it yesterday. Didn't you say you wanted to quit smoking? This mint-flavored candy is quite delicious. I usually like to eat it, so I bought some more."

As he spoke, Lin Jianyan took out another can of cigarette from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "You can eat it whenever you feel like smoking or your teeth itch."

Qin Wu didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face turned red silently, "Since you like to eat it, then does the taste in my mouth now have the same taste as yours?"

Lin Jinyan: “…”

The driver in front silently raised the partition, fearing that he would hear something he shouldn't hear and be silenced.

Lin Jianyan helplessly held his forehead, closed his eyes, sighed, and leaned back in his chair.

He was now increasingly unable to figure out what was going on in Qin Wu's mind. He was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and he never knew what explosive words he would say in the next second.

Qin Wu seemed to not understand his expression and asked, "Did you eat candy today? Do you want to taste the taste in my mouth?"

Lin Jianyan picked up the pillow that was supporting her waist and slammed it into his face, "Shut up!"

Qin Wu groaned and became obedient.

After finally reaching the villa area, Lin Jianyan got off the car first and walked in quickly. After entering the villa, he saw a strange lady sitting on the sofa, which made him stop.

At this moment, Qin Wu caught up from behind. He put his arm around Lin Jianyan's waist and said teasingly, "Why don't you go in? Are you waiting for me?"

Lin Jinyan slapped his hand unhappily, motioning him to look inside. Qin Wu followed Lin Jinyan's gaze and also saw the lady on the sofa.

Song Shumin sat quietly on the sofa, exuding a graceful and elegant temperament. She was wearing a vintage long dress with exquisite tailoring. The silk fabric shone softly under the light, as if flowing with the elegance of time.

She wore a pearl necklace around her fair neck. The round pearls emitted a warm glow, framing her slender neck.

Her hair was tied up in an elegant bun, with a few curly strands falling just right beside her cheeks, adding a touch of softness. Her face was delicate and dignified, her skin was as white as snow, and except for some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, it seemed as if time had left no trace on her face.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Qin Wu walked up to Lin Jianyan and shouted happily.

Song Shumin saw them coming back, put down her teacup, and happily asked them to sit down. "Xiao Hu is back. This must be Yan Zai. He is so pretty and handsome."

Lin Jianyan saw that the person was Qin Wu's great aunt, and she was full of kindness, so she immediately smiled and called out, "Great Aunt."

The more Song Shumin looked at his generous appearance, the more she liked him. Not only was he good-looking, he also smiled nicely and spoke pleasantly. He was much better than the many situations she had imagined when she came here. He couldn't be better.

He stood up, pushed Qin Wu away, grabbed Lin Jinyan's hand and started praising, "Look at this little face, it's so white, the skin is so tender, but it's a little thin. I'll go home with my aunt later. The food cooked by my aunt's kitchen is so delicious..."

Qin Wu saw that everyone would be kidnapped in a short while, so he quickly grabbed her and pulled Lin Jianyan behind him, "Aunt, what are you doing here today?"

Song Shumin patted her forehead, almost forgetting the main thing, "Hasn't your matter been resolved today? Your grandfather asked you to bring Ah Yan back to the old house for dinner tomorrow, and we will all be there."

Qin Wu understood what he meant and grinned, "You all know it."

Song Shumin looked at him with a silly look and rolled her eyes at him. "Such a big thing happened. It was reported in the newspapers. How could you not know about it?"

Qin Wu: "Okay, we will be there on time tomorrow."

Lin Jianyan understood what was meant and was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a bit too fast?"

"Why hurry up? Our little tiger is already 26, and we are afraid that he will be alone for the rest of his life. It's not easy to find someone as good as you, so we have to hold on to him."

Song Shumin took out her pocket watch from her sachet and checked the time. "Oh, forget it. It's so late. I have an appointment with my girlfriend to get a beauty treatment. It's settled."

Lin Jianyan watched Song Shumin walk out in her lambskin shoes. As soon as she reached the door, a small car came to pick her up.
