Chapter 325 - 325: Where Did We Get A Child From?
Lin Qingqian was stunned for a moment. She realized what she was saying and shook her head with a smile. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“You’re already so old. Auntie really shouldn’t have hit you.” A hint of regret surged in Lin Chaoyan’s loving eyes. “You’re a big girl after all. Slapping your face hurts your self-esteem.”
“Auntie was too angry today. Don’t be angry with Auntie. Auntie won’t hit you anymore in the future.”
Although she did not directly say the words “I’m sorry”, these words were already an apology to Lin Qingqian.
However, the apology of an elder was always reserved and embarrassing.
A pure smile appeared on Lin Qingqian’s delicate face. “I know that Auntie is doing this for my own good. I even hid such a huge matter from Auntie. I really deserve a beating.”
Although this slap was painful, she did not feel aggrieved. Her Auntie loved her deeply and was extremely responsible.
The more Lin Chaoyan heard her say this, the sadder she felt. Her little girl was so good. She had been tricked by Jiang Yanshen, but… thinking about what he had said, she was not so worried anymore.
“Alright, I’ll go help them cook.” She glanced at the tent. “I’ll call you when I’m done. Bring the food to the tent to eat. It’s cold outside.”
Lin Qingqian knew that she was understanding of Jiang Yanshen who had knelt for the entire afternoon, but she was too embarrassed to say it. “Thank you,
Auntie. I knew that Auntie dotes on me and Ah Yan.”
Lin Chaoyan spat and said angrily, ‘Who cares about him!”
She brushed Lin Qingqian’s hand away and turned to go back to work.
Lin Qingqian stood at the same spot and watched her leave. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and she felt relaxed.
A gust of cold wind blew over, and she couldn’t help but sneeze. She rubbed her nose and turned to walk into the tent.
Jiang Yanshen’s legs were still in the bucket as he stared at her warmly.
Lin Qingqian first checked the water in the bucket. It was not very hot anymore. She picked up the kettle beside her and mixed it with hot water.
“What did you say to Auntie? She looks very happy!”
“Nothing,” Jiang Yanshen replied softly.
Lin Qingqian looked up at him with a strange expression, “Don’t try to fool me. I know Auntie’s temper and personality very well. If you didn’t give her any guarantees, how could she accept you so easily?”
Jiang Yanshen leaned forward, his eyes bright as he said hoarsely, “Then tell me, what guarantee did I give her?”
Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and said, “Don’t change the topic.”
After failing to change the topic, Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up helplessly. His burning eyes met hers as he said clearly in a low voice, “I said that when we have children in the future, they’ll take your surname.”
Lin Qingqian was stunned and blinked. ‘Where did we get a child from?” He really dared to say it!!!
“Didn’t you say that we’ll adopt one? When the time comes, we’ll look for a newborn. Just say that she doesn’t know that you gave birth to one,” Jiang Yanshen said in a low voice.
Lin Qingqian:
So she still had to pretend to be pregnant for ten months??
Although his words sounded reasonable, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Ten minutes later, the water turned cold again. When Lin Qingqian wanted to mix it with hot water, Jiang Yanshen rejected her. If he continued soaking in the water, his skin would be wrinkled.
Lin Qingqian wiped him clean with a towel and her gaze landed on the old clothes on the bed. “Do you need my help?”
Jiang Yanshen looked around, his expression a little unnatural. “Change here?”
Although there was mist on the white membrane and it was blurry, he was still not used to it.
“Then I’ll go out and keep watch for you. Change yourself.”
Jiang Yanshen: ‘
Lin Qingqian walked out and looked around. There was no one around, but Lu Yuan squatted in front of the stove in the distance. It was unclear what he was doing.
“Lu Yuan…”
When Lu Yuan heard Lin Qingqian call him, he didn’t care about anything else and ran over with a silly expression. “Madam, what’s the matter?”
“What are you doing?” Lin Qingqian glanced at the huge stove not far behind him. There was firewood burning inside.
“Big Sister said that yams roasted inside this are very delicious. I want to make two.” Lu Yuan had only seen roasted yams sold on the streets when he grew up in the city. He had bought them once, but they were not delicious.
Big Sister said that the roasted yams here were a hundred times better than the ones sold in the city, so he wanted to try what a roasted yam that was a hundred times better tasted like.
“I’ll help you do it. Go and help me find an ointment.” Lin Qingqian chuckled.
“Alright.” Lu Yuan took his car keys and went to the trunk to get the first aid kit.
Lin Qingqian walked to the stove and used the fire fork to mash the firewood twice. Then, she took out two yams rolled up in foil.
The foil was still very hot. She couldn’t hold it with her hands now. She had to let it cool down first.
Lu Yuan returned with the ointment. When he saw the yam, he was excited and reached out to take one.
“It’s hot.” Lin Qingqian slapped his hand away. “Wait for it to cool down.”
Lu Yuantie smiled innocently. “Madam, do you want to eat?”
“I’m not eating.” Lin Qingqian took the ointment and stood up to return to the tent.
Lu Yuan asked again, “Then Director Jiang…”
Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment, thinking that Jiang Yanshen had probably never eaten this thing since he was young.
“Then send one over later.”
“Oh.” Lu Yuan was a little disappointed. If he had known earlier, he would not have asked.
Director Jiang was the dignified President of Tianyue Group. He had been living a luxurious life since he was young. Did he lack this piece of yam!
There was no lack!!
Lin Qingqian caught the disappointment in his eyes and laughed. “We have a lot of yams like this. If you like it, I’ll roast more for you tomorrow night and let you eat to your fill.”
Lu Yuan immediately burst with joy. “Thank you, Madam!”
Lin Qingqian took the ointment back to the tent. Jiang Yanshen had already changed and his wet clothes were thrown onto the chair.
Seeing her enter, he said gently, “What were you talking about with Lu Yuan?”
“It’s nothing. I roasted some yam tonight. I’ll get him to send one over.” Lin Qingqian walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out to touch his pants.
Jiang Yanshen said helplessly, “I’m wearing it.”
Lin Qingqian: “I’ll apply the medicine for you.”
“No need.” Jiang Yanshen held her small hand. “I’ll be fine after resting for a night. ”
Lin Qingqian did not say anything and only looked at him firmly.
A moment later, Jiang Yanshen let go.
Only then did Lin Qingqian reveal a satisfied expression. She reached out and rolled up his pants. Her heart still ached when she saw his knees.
The bruises were so deep that it was about to turn blackish-purple. Moreover…
his legs were cold from his knees to his feet. There was no heat.
“Didn’t you just soak your feet? Why is it still so cold?”
“Maybe it’s because the blood isn’t flowing properly. It’ll recover slowly.” Jiang Yanshen comforted her, as if he wasn’t the one who had been kneeling all afternoon.
“I think you’re addicted to being punished by Grandma to kneel. You have to kneel in the ancestral hall of the Jiang Family and my grandfather’s tombstone.”
Lin Qingqian’s gentle voice was filled with heartache. She lifted the hem of her down jacket and stuffed his feet into her clothes without hesitation, sticking them tightly to her stomach.
Jiang Yanshen was stunned and wanted to pull it out in the next second…
