Chapter 87 Soft, Help Me
He Yanting ordered people to search the entire group.
All vehicles were also carefully inspected to ensure that no special devices were installed.
They only took the bus home after confirming that everything was fine.
After that conversation, He Yanting didn't say anything again, and Jiang Xu was too lazy to speak either. He was reading and studying all the way.
After returning home, He Yanting went to the kitchen to cook.
An hour later, he went upstairs to call Jiang Xu for dinner.
After accumulating experience over a period of time, his cooking skills improved.
Jiang Xu had to admit that the food he cooked was becoming more and more to her taste.
He would remember her favorite dishes and flavor preferences every day, and after a few months, he had mastered her taste.
After eating quietly for a while, He Yanting spoke:
"Have you decided which school to apply to? I think University A is a good fit. Your major is ranked in the top three nationwide, and it's your alma mater, so it should be easy to adjust to."
Jiang Xu lowered his head to eat and said vaguely, "I haven't confirmed it yet."
He Yanting's dark eyes were deep. "Tell me if you're sure. I'll buy a house next to the school and we'll move there. You won't have to run back and forth."
"Um."
Jiang Xu didn't look at him and responded casually.
He Yanting's eyes darkened: "Ruanruan, I will take the postgraduate entrance exam in Beijing. This is my bottom line."
Jiang Xu put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes and looked at him calmly.
"I see."
After saying that, she got up and went upstairs.
In the evening, Jiang Xu returned to the bedroom after studying and heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
She simply sat by the bed and waited for him.
A few minutes later, the sliding door opened, and a tall, long-legged, broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man walked out, accompanied by mist.
He was only wearing a very short white bath towel, and his smooth muscles had a very vigorous tension.
Jiang Xu glanced at him and lowered her eyelids.
He Yanting stretched his long legs and walked in front of her: "Are you having a nightmare? Do you want me to sleep with you?"
Jiang Xu raised her eyes, and from her perspective it was just...
Her breath slowed down, her throat dry. “No, you can go out.”
Suddenly, He Yanting leaned over and stared at her: "Are you not moved at all?"
Jiang Xu said coldly: "What are you thinking?"
He Yanting grabbed her hand and placed it on his strong chest muscles: "If you're not tempted, then all my training every day is in vain."
Jiang Xu knew that he had a habit of exercising. He got up very early every day and spent at least an hour on the exercise.
I didn't expect that it was practiced specifically for her to see.
"I'm going to go to bed."
Jiang Xu retracted his hand.
He Yanting went one step further.
Jiang Xu retreated little by little, and He Yanting climbed onto the bed and approached step by step, like a jackal forcing a little lamb into a dead end.
Finally, her back hit the headboard, with no way to retreat.
She stepped on He Yanting's shoulder to stop him from moving forward and warned him, "Don't mess around, get out!"
He Yanting's face was full of joy as he grabbed her delicate ankle.
"Experts say that proper intimacy between couples is beneficial to the healthy growth of the fetus."
He grabbed her foot and kissed the top of her foot.
Jiang Xu's face flushed instantly: "He Yanting, what are you crazy about? You...ah!"
Halfway through her words, He Yanting grabbed her ankle and pulled it gently, and Jiang Xu slid into his arms.
He kissed her forehead, her nose, her lips...
Jiang Xu couldn't help but curl up her fingertips and clutch the bed sheet tightly.
"Ruanruan, help me."
He Yanting's breathing was obviously rapid, and his voice was low and hoarse, sexy and seductive.
Jiang Xu gritted his teeth: "He Yanting, you are shameless!"
"Yes, I am shameless, but I helped you last time, and you have to help me this time. People should know how to repay kindness."
He buried his face in her shoulder and took hold of her hand.
A strong wind started blowing outside the window at some point, and a heavy downpour broke the tranquility of the hot summer night.
Huge lightning flashed across the sky and thunder roared.
The heavy rain mixed with the strong wind made the branches tremble and the window glass crackle.
I don’t know how long it took, but everything finally stopped. The air was no longer stuffy and hot, but cool and fresh after the rain.
"Asshole, get out!"
Jiang Xu kicked the man off the bed.
Her face was flushed, her almond-shaped eyes were watery, and her face was full of anger and shame.
He Yanting looked refreshed and was not angry. Instead, he stood up, leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"good evening."
Then leave the bedroom.
It took Jiang Xu a long time to fall asleep. He had a lot of messy dreams at night and woke up late the next day.
When I went downstairs, I found that He Yanting had already gone to work, and the pillows and blankets on the sofa were neatly folded.
There was a note left on the dining table.
[Breakfast is in the steamer, you can eat it right away. I'll give you a day off as a thank you for last night.]
Jiang Xu's face started to burn again.
He angrily crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
After breakfast, Jiang Xu received a courier.
A relative of Chi Xiaoli who lives in the countryside specializes in growing grapes. It happened to be the grape harvest season, so she specially mailed a box to Jiang Xu.
I opened the box and took a look. It was a very good variety and there was a lot of it.
She first took a photo and sent it to Chi Xiaoli to express her gratitude.
Then I thought since we couldn’t finish it, we might as well send some to Old Mrs. He.
Old Madam He has always treated her generously. Even the He family's own daughters could not compare to the treatment Jiang Xu received. Naturally, Jiang Xu was grateful.
Besides, she may leave at any time and may never come back. It is better to give her more in return now to avoid any regrets.
It was still He Yanting's bodyguard who sent her off.
Arriving at the He family's old house, Jiang Xu found that his mother's car was also parked in the front yard.
The servant was about to announce it but was stopped by Jiang Xu, who planned to give grandma and mom a surprise.
Upon learning that Mrs. He and her mother were in the study, Jiang Xu carried half a box of grapes and walked lightly to the door of the study.
The door was lightly ajar.
Jiang Xu was about to push the door open when he heard Xia Yulin sigh.
“Every year around this time, I go see her.”
Old Madam He said, "The dead cannot be resurrected. Yulin, you should get over your guilt as soon as possible."
Xia Yulin still complained: "No matter what, her death has a lot to do with me. I never told you that Yan Ting actually knew it a long time ago."
"What? He knows?"
Mrs. He paused while drinking her tea and pursed her lips. "Did he say anything to you?"
Xia Yulin was helpless: "What else can I say? We just had a fight. He hates me, but I don't care. I'm just afraid that he will transfer his hatred to Ruanruan."
Old Madam He shook her head, her tone firm: "No, Yan Ting is not that kind of person. Since he chose to be soft, it means that he doesn't care."
"I hope so."
Xia Yulin sighed softly.
Jiang Xu was stunned. What were they talking about?
Whose death was the mother involved in?
What does this have to do with He Yanting?
Just as he was distracted, the servant behind him asked curiously, "Young Madam, why don't you go in?"
Jiang Xu was startled, her hands went limp, and the box fell to the ground.
Old Mrs. He and Xia Yulin hurried out to check.
"Ruanruan, why are you here?"
There was surprise on Xia Yulin's face, but more of it was panic and guilt.
