A soft, light touch, warm to the ear, brushed against my heart like a feather.
Jiang Linchuan's body stiffened, and it took him a second to react before he suddenly stepped back!
How could she... kiss herself!
He instinctively raised his hand to cover his ears in disbelief, but his ears turned red at a visible speed.
"You, you..." He couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Xu Xinghe thought Jiang Linchuan was even cuter this way. Everyone said he was a cold-faced devil, but he blushed like this because of a kiss on the ear.
"Are you going to say I'm shameless again? Fine, from now on, every time you say it, I'll kiss you!"
After saying that, she smiled even more brightly, "This is a surprise for you, do you like it?"
Seeing that Jiang Linchuan remained silent, she suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them. Her soft Shanghai accent, with a slight upward inflection at the end, carried an unconsciously seductive quality. "Jiang Linchuan, ask your heart. If you like me kissing you, then it means you have feelings for me, and you like me."
“Simply avoiding it won’t work, and that doesn’t fit your personality, right?”
wrong!
He's not hiding!
I just don't want to be fooled by Xu Xinghe anymore!
Jiang Linchuan suddenly turned around and strode out. His usually steady steps now seemed to carry a hint of panic.
"Hey, don't go!" Xu Xinghe immediately chased after him, grabbed his sleeve, her smile fading as she said seriously, "Let them spread those rumors outside. That's how the investigators will actually come down. Only in this way can we catch those who bullied me behind my back and teach them a lesson, don't you think?"
Jiang Linchuan's face tensed as he pulled out his sleeve.
"Please promise me, don't interfere in this matter. I can handle it myself, trust me. I'm not really a naive and innocent girl, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Linchuan felt that if he didn't leave soon, his ears would start burning!
This time, Xu Xinghe let go.
In the blink of an eye, the person in front of you left the door, as if a ghost were chasing you.
Xu Xinghe touched her face. "Hmph, I'm not a ghost! Even if I became a ghost in my past life, I was a beautiful ghost!"
Jiang Linchuan walked very fast, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he got back to his office.
He took off his military overcoat and slumped into a chair.
The heat on the tips of my ears seemed to have been blown away by the cold wind, and I could no longer feel it.
But the sensation I felt just now has stayed with me.
He tried to ignore it several times, but he just couldn't.
As Jiang Linchuan recalled Xu Xinghe's last words, his eyes gradually turned cold.
Only he, along with the newcomers Li Xingzhou and Wang Zhizhi, knew that she was a member of the Xu family.
No one else knew.
Shanghai is thousands of miles away from Heilongjiang Province. Even if the higher-ups really started investigating, they shouldn't have found her so quickly, not to mention there was an anonymous letter!
Is it Li Xingzhou?
Or is it Wang Zhizhi?
Whoever did this is absolutely depraved!
Since the other party knows about this, how could they not know what the consequences will be!
This is practically tantamount to murder!
Jiang Linchuan clenched his fist, then relaxed it after a long while.
Fine, since Xu Xinghe wants to handle it himself, that's good, it saves him the trouble of doing it himself.
Jiang Linchuan leaned back in his chair.
If she can't handle it well, I'll step in myself.
As for marriage... let's talk about it later.
——
In just one afternoon.
Thanks to Erdan's mouth, which was as wide as a cotton waistband, almost the entire military knew that Xu Xinghe was the capitalist's daughter.
A group of aunties gathered together, chatting non-stop while eating sunflower seeds.
“Xu Xinghe looks so young, and the clothes she’s been wearing these past few days are obviously expensive. So she’s the daughter of the richest man in Shanghai. That makes sense.”
"You guys think... how rich must the richest person in Shanghai be?"
"They've become incredibly wealthy. I've heard that many people in Shanghai have returned from overseas!"
"Hmph, I've also heard that some of them used to be officials in the imperial court. Who knows, the Xu family might be one of them—remnants of feudalism!"
As soon as Wang Chunmei came out, she heard these discussions. Her face immediately darkened, and she sternly rebuked them: "Who knows if this is true or false? Stop spreading rumors here!"
Xinghe is such a good girl, she knows how to repay kindness.
I only helped her with a small favor, and she sent me so many nice things.
It would be such a shame if a girl like that were taken away for investigation.
Although Wang Chunmei works in the logistics department, she can't be of much help, but at least she can keep these aunties from gossiping!
Everyone immediately fell silent, exchanged glances, and stuffed the sunflower seeds into their pockets.
"Let's go, let's go home and cook."
Wang Chunmei left.
The group immediately gathered together again.
Such a big piece of gossip deserves a good chat.
"Hey, why don't we go ask Wang Zhizhi?"
"Yes, isn't she also from Shanghai? And she's related to Xu Xinghe, so she definitely knows!"
"Forget it, let's not go. What if she's also a capitalist's daughter? If we go to her, she might investigate us."
...
Wang Zhizhi was not far away.
Hearing these comments, she trembled with excitement.
Her calloused hands gripped the vegetable basket tightly.
Li Xingzhou hasn't officially been admitted to the hospital yet, so he'll have to cook for himself for the next couple of days.
Previously, Wang Zhizhi was always impatient when it was time to cook, but today was different.
She wished she could cook more meat dishes to celebrate properly!
After listening for a while and confirming that everyone knew about it, she went home satisfied and started cooking.
Li Xingzhou didn't go out all afternoon and was unaware of this matter.
She wouldn't say anything, humming a little tune, and even when washing vegetables with cold water, she didn't feel cold at all.
As dusk fell.
The aroma of food wafted out.
Xu Xinghe was carrying a lunchbox and was about to go to the cafeteria when she was startled by a dark figure not far away.
Lian Xiao leaned against the door and clicked his tongue. "Do you know what kind of reputation you have now? You still dare to go to the cafeteria? Aren't you afraid they won't give you food?"
He knew about Xu Xinghe's donation and wasn't worried.
He just hadn't expected that this little girl would be so prescient.
Was it a coincidence?
Or did good deeds truly bring good fortune?
Xu Xinghe patted her chest and asked in a coquettish tone, "Why didn't you knock?"
Lian Xiao strode over to her with one hand in his pocket. His once long hair had been cut into a buzz cut, revealing a pair of narrow eyes. "I just wanted to see if you were secretly crying."
With so much gossip, can she handle it?
Don't hide under the covers and cry by yourself.
Xu Xinghe chuckled, revealing a shallow dimple, "I won't cry. A clear conscience fears no accusation!"
