Chapter 228 Do You Believe Me?
Chen Qing slept for two hours. She took the cell phone from the bedside table, but it was empty and there was no message.
Since Yan Baiqing said he would send someone to pick her up, it shouldn't be so calm. Perhaps Jiang Jingyan intercepted them halfway.
Chen Qing walked out of the bedroom and looked around the house.
The decoration style is very similar to that of the Chen family, with a light French style. She walked along the corridor and saw a piano room at the end of the second floor. The layout and even the furniture in the room seemed to have been moved from the Chen family piece by piece.
Although it is not known when Mrs. Luo bought these things, she should have asked Jiang Jingyan. Apart from him, no one knows what the Chen family was like in the past.
Chen Qing touched the door frame of the piano room, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't shocked.
She always thought that Jiang Jingyan was a straight man who was unwilling to spend too much energy on his own affairs, and he had no patience to study the little girl's thoughts. Chen Qing once had a conflict and fought with a classmate, and he even used the method of leading troops in training to temper her temper and make her admit her mistake.
The Chen family has not yet been completely cleared of their grievances, so Jiang Jingyan specially collected these things. If they were noticed by someone with ulterior motives, he would be in trouble if he was not careful.
Yan Baiqing asked her if she was sticking to the bottom line for Jiang Jingyan.
really.
She had fantasized that only when everything was settled, Jiang Jingyan was safe, the Jiang family was not implicated, and the Chen family was innocent, would she be qualified to stand by his side again.
At the moment, success or failure is unknown, and everything in the Chen family should not be related to Jiang Jingyan.
Chen Qing slowly closed the door, locked it, and took out the key.
She went downstairs. There was no one in the living room. A figure was standing on the corridor of the courtyard. At first glance, it blended into the night.
The man put one hand in his pocket and held his cell phone with the other. Before she could completely open the door, he pressed it shut.
Chen Qing was startled and pressed against the glass.
Before she made a sound, he knew she was coming.
After Jiang Jingyan finished talking to the person on the other end of the phone, he tilted his head. The tip of her nose was deformed by the pressure on the glass. Her eyes rolled around and she childishly stretched out her little finger to provoke him.
He couldn't help but soften his expression and said the last sentence, "Do as I say."
Chen Qing watched him withdraw his hand, pushed open the door, threw herself into his arms, pretended to be angry and pulled his collar, "Are you hiding from me and talking to a woman on the phone?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jingyan let her toss and turn, smiling lightly, "What should I do if you find out?"
"Yuan Hui said that if a man cheats, you can't force him. You should act as if nothing has happened and make him feel pity with your thoughtfulness. You should be willing to make amends, and at the same time, you can annoy him with a little temper. That way, he won't divorce you right away, but he won't come home often either. Wait until the new person around him makes a fuss and the family assets have been divided and transferred. Then you can take the initiative to support their love and build a good reputation."
He laughed out loud, "What kind of nonsense are you guys talking about?"
Chen Qing leaned against his chest and said, "These are the ways to save money that Teacher Yuan taught me."
"You're too stupid to learn how to guard money, but have you ever been taught how to guard a person?" Jiang Jingyan kissed her forehead and eyelids, teasing her with kisses one after another. "How do you guard me?"
His breath slid to the base of his neck and ears. Chen Qing dodged the itch and giggled, "I'll guard you even if I die, okay?"
Jiang Jingyan paused suddenly, straightened his back, his eyes like fire, emitting a scorching heat after the sudden cold rain, "Stand guard while you are alive. If there is danger, you are not allowed to guard."
Chen Qing felt a lump in his throat and laughed as he punched him, "Why are you so serious?"
She knew full well that men of their class, who saw through human nature from the outside, lived in endless schemes and calculations, eager for their women to stick by them in times of crisis, demonstrating their true love and giving them spiritual rewards that fostered satisfaction. Jiang Jingyan, on the other hand, was the opposite. The incident at Yindeng Pass still haunted him. If anything happened to him, he would be the first to get her out of trouble, arrange a retreat for her, and protect her, never allowing her to think of dying with him.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing's heart sank, "Why did you come to me suddenly?"
Jiang Jingyan hugged her from behind, his voice piercing her chest and vibrating her spine, giving her a sense of security. "I want to see you."
"Something happened outside, right?" Chen Qing grabbed the back of his hand around his waist and whispered, "What did you do?"
A moderate breeze blew in the courtyard. The man's body was burning hot, but she didn't feel cold. She stared at the puddles on the ground, the ripples of which grew stronger with the wind.
Jiang Jingyan was proud of her intelligence, but he didn't want her to have wild thoughts. The more she understood, the more troubles she would have. He just wanted her to have a smooth and worry-free life.
She is obsessed with erhu and loves the stage, and he doesn't intend to let her get involved in other irrelevant things.
In this regard, he has carried out his male chauvinism to the extreme.
"I remember you don't have professional classes on Monday."
Chen Qing rubbed his head against his Adam's apple, feeling comfortable and at ease. "Yeah, it's an elective."
"Ask your classmates to ask for leave for you." The wind was strong, so Jiang Jingyan carried her back to the house, "Don't go back to school for the time being."
"How many days?"
"Three days."
Chen Qing stared at him intently.
The man stood against the light, exuding an aura of mastery. He scratched her cheek with his finger and said, "It'll be fine. Trust me."
She nodded without hesitation.
The next morning, before Chen Qing got up, he heard a noise downstairs.
She touched her side and it was warm.
The person who just came in was the nanny who took care of Chen Qing in Zhounan, and there were also a few servants from the Luo family, all of whom were acquaintances. Jiang Jingyan was afraid that the newcomers would not be able to provide adequate care, and was also afraid that they would be bribed, so he specially invited them back.
"Miss Qing'er." The nanny saw Chen Qing on the stairs and greeted her with joy.
Chen Qing was also pleasantly surprised, her eyebrows curved, "Sister Qin, it's been a long time since I saw you."
"Yes, it's been about three years, right? After you finished the college entrance examination, I returned to my hometown. Mr. Jiang didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to ask about your situation."
"Where are the others?"
"In the kitchen."
Chen Qing exchanged a few words with her, and before he even walked into the kitchen, he heard two deliberately suppressed coughs.
"You haven't recovered yet?" She asked worriedly, "You were discharged too early. Your body didn't have time to recover. How can you be the same as before?"
Jiang Jingyan tilted his head and glared at her coldly, "Are you trying to make fun of my age in a roundabout way?"
"The truth is, people have to accept their age."
He narrowed his eyes and tried to save face, "I was frying an egg and choked on the fumes."
Chen Qing looked into the pot and asked, "How come after all these years, you only know how to fry eggs?"
"What else do you want to eat? I'm studying."
"That's enough." She walked away.
Jiang Jingyan pulled her back, his powerful arms flexing muscles and exuding a wild masculine air. "You're trying to provoke me, aren't you?"
Chen Qing lowered his head and broke into a smile, "The only thing you cook that tastes good is the fried eggs."
"I just don't want to study it." The man bit her lips. The cool mint toothpaste stimulated her tongue to absorb more warmth, and the light taste turned into a deep kiss.
Chen Qing was worried about burning the pot, and was also worried about being caught by Sister Qin and the others.
After all, she has been taking care of her since she was a child and knows everything about Jiang Jingyan and her. The sudden change in their relationship would make anyone have fantasies.
To put it bluntly, if an adopted girl becomes your bedmate, no matter when it starts, it is always suspected of being immoral.
