“Be careful not to play with fire and burn yourself.”

Li Guilan was slightly stunned. Before she could react to what he meant, Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and asked her to leave in a cold voice. “I want to work.”

Li Guilan saw his cold expression and felt aggrieved, but she didn’t dare to flare up. It was not easy for her to return to the Jiang family, so she couldn’t be chased out again.

She picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Jiang Yanshen listened to the footsteps getting further and further away before slowly raising his head to look at the empty door. His gaze landed on the computer monitor…

His faint outline was reflected on the closed monitor, and his cold eyes were hidden.

His thin voice moved as he muttered to himself, “Li Ruzhu is just the beginning…”

Lin Qingqian only found out that Xiao Bai was hospitalized when she returned to the company. Thinking of Jiang Yanshen’s words, she was really worried and hurriedly finished her work to get Chen Mu to send her to the hospital.

Han Liubai was the only one in the ward. There was still an IV in his hand, and his other hand was still flipping through his cell phone, looking at something.

—Knock, knock.

A sudden knock on the door attracted his attention. He looked up and saw Lin Qingqian walking in with a basket of fruits.

“Why are you here?” His voice was weak, and there was a faint smile on his lips.

Lin Qingqian put down the fruit basket and sat down on the chair by the bed. Her bright eyes were filled with apology. “I’m sorry. I should have called you earlier. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have…”

“What has it got to do with you?” Han Liubai interrupted her. “It’s because my body is weak. I haven’t been feeling well for the past few days.”

Lin Qingqian: “Put your work aside for the time being. I’ll give you half a month off. Rest well.”

“No need, I…”

“This is your boss’s order.” Lin Qingqian’s arbitrary tone had no intention of negotiating.

Seeing her unyielding attitude, Han Liubai couldn’t say anything else. He nodded. “Alright, call me if anything happens. The doctor said that I can be discharged tomorrow.”

“With me as the boss in the company, what can happen?” Lin Qingqian picked up the cup and realized that the water was cold. She added some hot water and handed it to him.

“Rest well and come back after recuperating.”

Han Liubai took a sip of warm water and his throat bobbed. “Alright.”

“Is the auntie I introduced to you alright?” Lin Qingqian asked worriedly, “Will she bring you food tonight?”

“Auntie is good. She’ll bring me food. The hospital has doctors and nurses to take care of me too. You don’t have to worry.”

His pale face was bloodless and he didn’t look good, but he always said things that made people not worry.

It was really difficult for people to not give such a person more care and

“Then I’ll go back. Have a good rest.” Lin Qingqian glanced at the cell phone beside him. “Don’t look at the cell phone anymore. It’s hurtful.”

Han Liubai’s bloodless lips curled up slightly as he agreed obediently. “Alright.” Lin Qingqian turned around and left…

Han Liubai looked at her back with his gentle eyes and pursed his lips. After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but say, “Qingqian…’

Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him. Her eyes seemed to be asking, “What else?”

Han Liubai looked at her. A thousand words surged into his heart. He wanted to tell her everything, but..

If she knew everything, would she still be friends with him?

Perhaps… she would hate him very much!

This thought flashed through his mind and he immediately dispelled the urge to tell her the truth.

“Good luck in the competition. I believe you can do it!”

Lin Qingqian’s lips curved. “I will. Rest.”

With that, she walked out of the ward.

Han Liubai lowered his head and tightened his grip on the cup. His eyes were covered by a haze as he said silently in his heart, ‘I’m sorry, Qingqian…’

‘I’ve been lying to you from the beginning. Our encounter was a plot and scheme from the beginning.’

Lin Qingqian went to look for Han Liubai’s attending doctor and the nurse who was taking care of him. It wasn’t to inquire about his condition’s privacy, but because Han Liubai didn’t have any family or friends, as his boss and a good friend, she wanted to ask the doctors and nurses to take care of him more.

When she walked out of the hospital, Chen Mu had already parked the car by the roadside. He got out of the car and opened the door for her. He said respectfully, “Madam, are you going back to the company?”

Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the temple.” Chen Mu was stunned for a second before he lowered his head and said, “Yes.”

In the afternoon, there weren’t as many people in the temple as in the morning. Tourists wandered around in twos and threes.

After Lin Qingqian offered incense, she went to the temple to pray for a blessing before leaving.

At night, Jiang Yanshen and Lin Qingqian sat side by side on the sofa, each with an iPad, busy with their own work.

On the coffee table in front of her, two cups were empty, and the fruits on the plate had been finished.

Lin Qingqian’s gaze landed on the screen. She reached out to take the cup and happened to touch Jiang Yanshen’s hand.

The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other. A few seconds later, they laughed tacitly.

Lin Qingqian put down the iPad. “I’ll go get some water.”

“I’ll go.” Jiang Yanshen held her shoulder and went downstairs to pour water.

When he returned, Lin Qingqian didn’t look at the iPad. Instead, she looked at the door. Her bright eyes couldn’t help but light up when he entered, as if they were glued to him.

Jiang Yanshen handed her the glass of water and sat down at the side. His chest burned from her gaze.

Lin Qingqian finished her water and stretched. “Go to sleep.”

Jiang Yanshen held her hand and raised his chin, staring at her with burning eyes…

Lin Qingqian blinked. ‘What’s wrong?”

“You don’t have anything for me?” He had waited all night, but she had made no move. Could it be…

He thought of something and his expression gradually darkened. His grip on her wrist gradually tightened.

Lin Qingqian realized what he meant and frowned slightly. “It hurts.” Her eyes indicated that her wrist was hurting.

Jiang Yanshen’s face was cold, and his eyes were clearly filled with disappointment, but he still loosened his grip.

Lin Qingqian sat beside him again and stared at him with her bright eyes. “Are you angry?”

Jiang Yanshen leaned against the sofa and glanced at her from the corner of his eye without saying a word.

“I’m not angry even when you ask Chen Mu to report my words and actions to you every day. How dare you be angry?” Her light and pleasant voice sounded slowly, as if saying: if you’re angry, I will argue with you properly.

Jiang Yanshen’s brows moved slightly, and his tightly pursed thin lips moved. His voice was tense. “I’m worried about you.”

“Don’t you think it’s very scary to be spying on me like this?” Lin Qingqian sat down again and said patiently, “Just like how if I arranged for someone to be by your side and tell me what you do and who you talk to every day, will you be happy?

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes lit up. “You want to know?”

Lin Qingqian:

What’s with your expectant gaze?

“That’s not the point!” Lin Qingqian knew that he was still the domineering and independent Jiang Yanshen with an extremely strong desire to control. Therefore, even though she knew that Chen Mu was revealing her whereabouts to him, she was not angry with him.

Moreover, he was different from ordinary people to begin with. The bipolar disorder and personality dissociation would cause him to feel mental pressure.

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes dimmed, and he pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Lin Qingqian sighed helplessly. “Xiao Bai doesn’t have any family or friends.

I’m considered his friend, so I naturally care more about him.”

After a pause, she added, “It’s just concern between friends.”

Jiang Yanshen turned to look at her. “If you knew who he was, would you still care about him as a friend?” He swallowed these words.

Seeing that he was staring at her in a daze, Lin Qingqian’s slender fingers waved twice in front of him. “Are you angry?” Jiang Yanshen held her hand and stood up. “Sleep…”

His voice still sounded muffled.

Lin Qingqian lay on the bed and took the initiative to snuggle into his arms, raising her head to kiss his thin lips…

Jiang Yanshen flipped over and covered her. He lowered his head and bit her lips fiercely, as if he was venting the frustration and depression in his heart in this way…

The next day, Jiang Yanshen entered the office and instructed Lu Yuan to call Song Qin over.

Lu Yuan was stunned for a second before he immediately felt a professional sense of danger.

It had been a long time since Director Jiang looked for Song Qin. Why did he suddenly look for her? Could it be that Song Qin was going to replace his position in Director Jiang’s heart again?

Although he was worried, he still looked calm on the surface and went to call Song Qin.

If not for the fact that Lu Yuan was present, Song Qin, who had finally been summoned by Director Jiang, would have cried from excitement.

She hurriedly walked into the office in her high heels, maintaining her professional and calm image as a secretary. “Director Jiang, you were looking for me?”

Song Qin nodded. “Yes.”

Jiang Yanshen pondered for a few seconds and said, “In the future, you and Lu Yuan will follow me. You’re in charge of posting my schedule to my Moments.”

“Ah?” Song Qin was stunned. What was going on?

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. “What’s the problem?”

Song Qin shook her head. “No, no problem!”

It would be strange if there was no problem!!!

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and continued reading the documents…

Song Qin stood rooted to the ground, at a loss. There seemed to be a line of comments on her face: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

Jiang Yanshen waited for a long time, but there was no movement from her. He looked up at her and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to take a photo?” Song Qin:

After being stunned for a long time, she belatedly reacted and immediately took out her phone to take a photo of Jiang Yanshen looking at the documents and uploaded it to her WeChat Moments.

The caption: Boss is working seriously…

Before sending it, she specially showed it to Jiang Yanshen and asked carefully,

“Director Jiang, do you think this will work?”

Jiang Yanshen glanced at it and nodded. “Sure.”

Song Qin heaved a sigh of relief. After posting on her Moments, she said, “Director Jiang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out first.”

Jiang Yanshen waved her out.

Song Qin walked out of the office with her phone and saw Lu Yuan guarding the door.

Lu Yuan looked at her inquisitively. “Secretary Song, why is Director Jiang looking for you?”

Song Qin glanced at him and snorted. “I’m no longer the original Secretary Song.”

Lu Yuan:

Song Qin: “Please call me Special Editor Song Qin.”

. Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. “Crazy.”

Song Qin gave him a look that said, “You don’t understand.” She strutted away like a proud rooster in high heels..
