"hiss……"
The stinging sensation on her lips made Qin Wan gasp.
She widened her eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Yan, this audacious man, with disbelief.
"Huh?"
Why is the door locked from the inside?
Just then, Chen Jiajia's puzzled voice came from outside the door.
A knocking sound came from the door...
"Miss Qin, Young Master Jiang, the old master asked me to come and ask if you have received your medicine."
Qin Wan glared at Jiang Yan, annoyed, and asked in a low voice, "When did you lock the door?"
Jiang Yan looked up at her, his thin lips curving slightly.
Of course, while her inner voice kept screaming that she wanted to strip him naked...
With a creak, the door opened, and Qin Wan and Jiang Yan appeared in the doorway, dressed neatly.
Chen Jiajia looked at the two of them with a gentle expression. When her gaze fell on Qin Wan's slightly swollen lips, a hint of surprise flashed across Chen Jiajia's eyes.
"Miss Chen," Qin Wan said with a smile.
Chen Jiajia immediately composed herself and gave a faint smile.
"Grandpa is still waiting for us in the living room," Chen Jiajia said.
She always remembered that it was Qin Wan who gave her the idea to help her at the entrance of the auction.
So, in return, she would pretend she didn't see anything.
But over in the living room...
Thinking of this, Chen Jiajia paused in her steps and looked up at Qin Wan.
"Miss Qin, I will act accordingly if needed later."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qin Wan's eyes.
Is Chen Jiajia... taking the initiative to make amends with her?
Thinking about this, Qin Wan just found it amusing.
Jiang Nanyu is practically deserted by everyone, isn't he?
Chen Jiajia suddenly turned against his ex-fiancée and helped her.
Chen Xi helped his arch-nemesis, Han Sinian.
Old Master Jiang has always acted in the best interests of the Jiang family.
Jiang's parents felt sorry for their own son, Jiang Yan...
Tsk, Jiang Nanyu is such a miserable and frustrated male lead!
"Don't you love Jiangnan Island very much?" Qin Wan asked.
A hint of struggle appeared in Chen Jiajia's eyes, and her red lips were tightly pursed. "It used to be."
"Now I am a mother."
"Xixi wants a father and a complete family. I must fulfill the responsibilities that a mother should bear."
As she spoke, Chen Jiajia raised her eyes and stared intently at Qin Wan.
“I love Jiangnan Island, that’s for sure, but I love my son even more.”
"A mother's love makes her strong."
"Besides, Miss Qin, you don't like Jiangnan Island either, do you?"
“I want a complete family. Miss Qin can take this opportunity to dissolve this engagement that you no longer want, and may even get other things you want from it.”
"Isn't it better for us to each get what we need and help each other than to fight to the death over a man?"
Humanity is awake!
As the female lead, Chen Jiajia is qualified.
The male lead, Jiang Nanyu, is completely unqualified.
"What do you like about Jiangnan Island?" Qin Wan suddenly asked curiously, her gossipy nature piqued.
Chen Jiajia lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "You must have been blind when you were young."
Qin Wan: "?"
Even Jiang Yan, who was watching from the sidelines, glanced at Chen Jiajia with a hint of surprise.
"But since we already have a child, there's nothing to regret."
"Moreover, he is rich, good-looking, and has a great physique. Apart from being a bit hypocritical in temperament and personality, he is otherwise impeccable."
Chen Jiajia said with a sigh, "If he is willing to live a good life with me, his personality flaws don't matter. I am willing to go along with him, pamper him, and coax him."
"I can accept his hypocrisy and fake gentlemanliness, so it doesn't bother me."
"Anyway, it doesn't matter who a man marries, right? And what man doesn't have a few flaws?"
When she said the words "minor problem," Chen Jiajia paused strangely, then looked up at Jiang Yan with a meaningful glance.
Qin Wan: "?"
Jiang Yan: "?"
Jiang Yan looks just as serious as Jiang Nanyu, but who knows what kind of hidden hobbies he might have?
Thinking of this, Chen Jiajia glanced at Qin Wan's swollen and chapped lips with a hint of sympathy...
Look, they haven't even been officially together yet, and Qin Wan is already being seen in public with injuries.
If they were to be together legitimately afterward, wouldn't he be over the moon?
Thinking of this, images of certain items uncontrollably surfaced in Chen Jiajia's mind...
Like handcuffs...
Small leather whip...
Candle……
As her thoughts became increasingly out of control, Chen Jiajia quickly shook her head to shake them off.
Stop!
I can't think about it anymore!
Even without mind reading skills, Qin Wan and Jiang Yan could still understand the rich changes in Chen Jiajia's facial expressions.
Even if you don't know exactly what she's thinking, you can guess that Chen Jiajia is definitely not thinking anything good.
Jiang Yan frowned, then pulled Qin Wan towards the living room, leaving Chen Jiajia alone.
Seeing this, Chen Jiajia couldn't help but shake her head as she watched Jiang Yan's departing figure.
really……
No man is any good.
Jiang Yan must have been offended by her words, which made him angry and embarrassed, so he quickly took Qin Wan away.
She was afraid that Qin Wan would be awakened by her words...
In the living room.
As soon as Qin Wan and Jiang Yan appeared, the old man and Jiang Nanyu's eyes were immediately drawn to their tightly clasped hands.
Qin Wan calmly pulled her hand away from Jiang Yan's and explained perfunctorily, "I accidentally twisted my ankle just now, and I'm so grateful that Jiang Yan helped me."
Jiangnan Yu: "..." Hehe.
Old Master Jiang had his own agenda, so he turned a blind eye and believed whatever Qin Wan said.
Jiang Yan clearly saw through the old man's scheme, which is why he dared to openly hold Qin Wan's hand, even going so far as to bite her lip...
As the two approached, Jiang Nanyu and the old man noticed Qin Wan's swollen and chapped lips almost simultaneously...
At that moment, even the shrewd old man subconsciously looked at Jiang Nanyu.
really……
As he expected, Jiang Nanyu's face turned ashen, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Qin Wan, Jiang Yan, don't push your luck!" Jiang Nanyu said, unable to bear it any longer.
Jiang Yan ignored him, pressed Qin Wan down on the sofa, poured her some tea to soothe her throat, and then mimicked Qin Wan's previous perfunctory explanation in a convincing manner...
"She cut her lip when she accidentally bumped it against the water glass while drinking water just now."
Jiangnan Yu: "..." (This is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)
Do you even believe what you're saying?
Moreover, when did he ever mention that the reason he was angry was because Qin Wan had broken her lip?
Jiang Yan's explanation is clearly a case of "protesting too much"!
"Jiang Yan!!!" Jiang Nanyu said through gritted teeth.
Jiang Yan lazily raised her eyes to look at him, her brows slightly furrowed.
Jiang Nanyu clenched his fists at his sides in anger. At this moment, Chen Jiajia came over and took his arm, stopping him from losing control at any moment.
"Nanyu, making a scene now won't do you any good."
"Grandpa is turning a blind eye, clearly intending to get Jiang Yan and Qin Wan engaged. He won't be on your side."
Chen Jiajia's reminder was like a bucket of ice water poured on Jiangnan Island, instantly calming him down.
yes……
We can't make a scene now...
Making a scene will only make things worse for him...
We can use this to try and gain as many benefits as possible in the negotiations later.
Thinking of this, Jiang Nanyu calmed down and sat back on the sofa, but his deep black eyes were still staring straight at Jiang Yan and Qin Wan.
