Chapter 48 is very strong and vigorous.
Jin Huan lay on Zhong Yan's lap, her entire hand in his palm.
They've been home all day, and the housekeeper hasn't come over. It's just the two of them in the house, so they can do whatever they want without any worries.
For lunch, I ate noodles cooked by Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan's skills are just average, that's Jin Huan's assessment.
As long as it's edible, that's fine.
She was telling the truth.
During dinner, Jin Huan suddenly mentioned that her nails had grown long and she needed to trim them. Since she was on vacation and didn't need to do any experiments, she asked if she could get a manicure if possible.
She rarely does these things; she has a natural, clean appearance. Because she does experiments, manicures are inconvenient, so her nails are always neatly trimmed with no excess. But now she's considering getting nail extensions or something.
She doesn't like her nails to be too long either, but her natural nails are too short; they might need to grow a little longer for them to look good when done.
Zhong Yan was carefully trimming her nails.
Her fingers were as obedient as a person. She placed them in his palm, and Zhong Yan held them and trimmed them one by one. He was very careful, and his trimming movements were meticulous. He was treating her as if she were something important, making each of her fingers look beautiful.
"Go ahead and do it if you like." When it comes to getting manicures, Zhong Yan's attitude is casual. Girls love beauty, which is the most normal thing. Any behavior that loves beauty is harmless.
Jin Huan rested her chin on his thigh, spreading her fingers in front of her eyes. Her nails were trimmed into perfectly rounded shapes, making her look adorable, and the ring on her finger looked much more expensive.
Although such a large diamond is very expensive in itself.
"Can it be made very long?" Jin Huan asked for his opinion. Afraid that he wouldn't understand, she explained to him the various styles of nail art, including nail extensions.
"Jin Huan, are you afraid I won't get hurt when you scratch me?" Zhong Yan put the nail clippers aside, his hand naturally resting on her back. The person in his arms turned over, laughed, and shook her head.
Of course she didn't mean that. Even if she scratched him, it wasn't intentional. Besides, she wasn't very dangerous. His body was so strong that even an extended nail-shaped scratcher couldn't scratch him.
Jin Huan tried to explain things to him.
Nail extensions aren't that secure, so if she gets them done, she'll definitely have to be careful and not scratch them. She's seen news reports online about nail extensions flipping off the nail plate together, leaving the entire finger a bloody mess.
That's really scary.
Jin Huan offered a serious expression of worry and a serious explanation. Zhong Yan squeezed her fingers and responded casually, "Hmm... it can still happen like this..."
Yeah yeah.
Of course, anything can happen.
Jinhuan is still seriously considering the nail art, and finally decided to go for a simple design instead of extensions. She will go in a couple of days.
Jin Huan rolled back into Zhong Yan's arms.
She did it on a whim. A few days later, Jin Huan spent an afternoon at a nail salon and got her first manicure ever. Her nails were round, and she chose a clear and gentle nude color. The original design had rhinestones, but she deliberately didn't want them and only drew two small bows.
It's so beautiful, and it matches her ring perfectly.
Jin Huan had been admiring her ring for the past few days, so much so that she was afraid of being stared at when she was out. For a moment, she worried about her safety and wondered whether to save her life or her ring if something bad happened.
The moment the idea popped into her head, she immediately shook her head and rejected it.
If Zhong Yan knew she was thinking like this, her bottom would be in trouble again.
She's now quite certain that she's the most important person in his life, because lately she's been frequently woken up in a daze, and he'll even try to comfort her, telling her to ignore him and go back to sleep.
Jin Huan was very serious.
Zhong Yan wasn't like this before.
After he told her his feelings, he became a very bad person, much worse than before. His sexual desires became very strong and intense, to the point that even someone like Jin Huan, who originally liked him a lot, found it unbelievable.
It caused her to barely sleep.
She couldn't help but point to her dark circles and complain to him.
Zhong Yan noticed her dark circles; there was a bluish tinge under her eyes, which was very noticeable because of her fair skin. This indirectly caused her to spend twice as much time catching up at noon, and she would even fall asleep while watching TV on the sofa.
Zhong Yan whispered "I'm sorry" to her. His recent intense emotions had manifested physically, to the point that his behavior had gone too far.
Looking at her lying quietly beside me, I recall that warm feeling of being enveloped, and I can't help but interrupt her sleep.
When Jin Huan returned, Zhong Yan was working in the study. She stood at the door, looking inside, but did not make any rash moves.
Zhong Yan quickly looked up.
His gaze fell on her, and he smiled, his eyes crinkling, as he reached out a hand to her.
Jin Huan walked towards him in her slippers, looking just like a lazy cat.
Having just confirmed that he wasn't in a meeting, Jin Huan walked over to him and naturally sat on his lap. As their bodies touched, he relaxed his shoulders against the back of the chair and put his arm around her waist.
"You've been out playing for so long?"
"I didn't play," Jin Huan denied, showing him her ten fingers. "I sat for more than four hours, and my butt hurts."
Her nails were sparkly, reaching all the way to her cheeks, making her face glow. The color was like a pale peach, making her hands look adorable.
"Is it pretty?" Jin Huan asked, her voice tinged with a hint of boasting.
"It looks beautiful." Zhong Yan lowered his head and kissed her nails.
Jin Huan laughed and shrank back, then raised a few fingers: "Right? I like it too."
I posted it on my WeChat Moments to show off a long time ago, and took some detailed pictures.
Zhong Yan held her with one arm while his other hand was still typing on the computer, replying to the last email. Suddenly, Zhong Yan asked her, "Have you decided whether you want to continue your studies?"
Zhong Yan asked her because Du Qingxu had recently interned at the company, and Zhong Yan had someone assess his abilities. He was indeed very good in all aspects, and if he performed well during his internship, Zhong Yan would consider letting him join his core R&D team.
Then he thought of his wife.
She and Du Qingxu were classmates. Du Qingxu came to do an internship, but what about her?
She hasn't thought it through yet.
Zhong Yan is so much older than her and has far more social experience. Plus, they're in the same major. With him around, he can always pave the way for her.
Whether she wanted to go out to work or continue her studies and research, he was always there to support her and clear away any obstacles in her way.
Jin Huan and Teacher Tan had a serious discussion about this matter.
Professor Tan earned her doctorate and later chose to work at a university. She doesn't regret this choice because she loves her major and enjoys being a teacher.
Jin Huan also likes this major and enjoys doing it.
She wasn't mentally strong enough and was afraid she couldn't fight such a protracted battle.
In the past, Jin Huan wouldn't have hesitated. Her original plan was to work after completing her master's degree. She needed to become independent as soon as possible and earn money.
After all, she had no real parents to rely on.
"I'm thinking about it, and it's driving me crazy." Jin Huan sighed in distress, then reached out and hugged Zhong Yan's neck. "May I visit your company sometime?"
Zhong Yan not only agreed, but also suggested that she "try coming to stay for a while."
If you're still undecided, try out these options yourself and see which one is the most suitable.
The choice is in Jin Huan's own hands. He respects and supports all her decisions, and he will provide her with assistance within the appropriate and feasible scope.
His only concern was to help her grow up well.
Jin Huan opened her mouth, but suddenly became a little nervous when this topic came up. After a long while, she finally asked, "Do you think this is a good idea?"
"Why not?" Zhong Yan chuckled. "Since I can provide you with resources, you can use my things as you like. It doesn't matter if you do them well or not, I'm here for you anyway."
He said that as long as he's there, that's fine.
What was the point of him being so much older than her? Wasn't it just for his own sake? Even if he made the wrong choice or a mistake, it didn't matter; he would always find a way.
Jin Huan frowned as he considered his suggestion.
She obediently agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
Jin Huan leaned on his shoulder, took a slow, deep breath, and felt utterly disgusted with herself for her indecisiveness.
She's such a grown woman, why can't she be as mature as Zhong Yan? She can't even make her own decisions.
Zhong Yan noticed her anxiety. He gently placed his hand on her arm, lifted her up with his thigh, and said in a low voice, "It's Daddy who wants our little treasure to grow up well."
.
Jin Huan took advantage of her free time and went to Zhong Yan's company for an internship.
Regarding her internship, she admitted that she got it through connections. Fortunately, as a lowly intern, she didn't attract much attention and didn't need to make a fuss. She just needed to do her job conscientiously.
She met Du Qingxu on her second day here.
It was the height of summer, and he was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. He looked clean and refreshing. I hadn't seen him for over a month, and he seemed noticeably more composed and confident than before.
Because of his family background, Du Qingxu always seemed to have more inferiority and embarrassment than others. However, he no longer had that feeling. When he saw Jin Huan, he greeted her with a smile.
"Are you interning here too?" Du Qingxu asked her.
"It should count," Jin Huan nodded.
I'll just stay for a short time and see. There are no performance targets; it's more like an internship.
Jin Huan must have just arrived, since he only met her today. Du Qingxu looked down and saw the ring on her hand. He paused, a strange look flashing across his eyes, before he smiled and said, "If there's anything I can help with, just let me know."
Du Qingxu had already guessed some things, and although they were quite unbelievable, after excluding those erroneous speculations, what remained could not possibly be true.
People like him know very well that there are some things he shouldn't even covet, let alone possess or not possess, he shouldn't even have the thought of having them.
At least in her current situation, Du Qingxu is not qualified to compare herself with the person who can stand beside Jin Huan.
He didn't give up, nor did he belittle himself; he simply shifted his focus.
After being sick once, he pays more attention to his health. After all, he is no longer just living for himself; he has more important things to do.
Jin Huan nodded generously: "Okay."
She was actually quite pleased with Du Qingxu's current state. In some ways, he was a really good friend, and Jin Huan completely agreed.
Du Qingxu asked her about her work, asking her some ordinary questions about whether she was used to it and how she felt.
Joy turned to sorrow.
Working is quite different from being in a lab. She has always felt that she lacks in interpersonal skills. For work, it is important to achieve results, but it is equally important to handle interpersonal relationships well.
This is what Jin Huan has always been worried about.
Du Qingxu smiled and said, "That's perfect, I'm not very good at it either."
She had only chatted with Du Qingxu for a few minutes when Zhong Yan's secretary called her, saying that a meeting was about to start and asking her to prepare the meeting materials.
Jin Huan quickly agreed and told Du Qingxu that she had to go and get busy.
Du Qingxu nodded with a smile.
She hurriedly stirred up a gust of wind, and as many times before, the wind gently landed beside his hand, a corner of it touching his heart with a softness. It was clearly a fragrance like flowers, but he always felt bitter.
Du Qingxu has told herself countless times to try to let go of this feeling.
These actions are destined to come to nothing.
Jin Huan then started spinning like a little top.
She works in the technical department, but she certainly can't access the lab or the core technology right now; she can only do odd jobs and simple tasks.
But she was not an ordinary intern after all.
Of course she's extraordinary. Other interns don't have to serve the boss during the day and at night like her.
Exhausted, both physically and mentally.
