Chapter 421



421 can’t expect too much

“Yes, I’m back.”

She walked over to him.

When she approached, Jiang che stood up and pulled her into his arms. ” miss shi, you’re coming home late at night. your boyfriend will warm you up. ”

This really didn’t sound like something he would say.

shi yan helplessly curled her lips.

He didn’t mention a word about her meeting her father, and she knew he was taking care of her feelings.

He was really considerate.

since he didn’t mention it, she naturally wouldn’t mention it too much, in case he was worried again.

After meeting her father that night, she realized that it was actually not a difficult thing. It was much better than she had expected.

She had never thought in detail about what it would be like to see her father again, but she knew that it would definitely not be as calm as it was now and that the atmosphere would not be too awkward.

it was all because she had met jiang che. she had his company and his guidance.

She hugged his waist tightly and leaned into his arms. She rubbed her face against the collar of his bathrobe and said coquettishly, ” “Yes, give me Nuan Nuan.”

jiang che looked down at her, his eyes full of smiles.

Why was he so clingy?

he hugged her a little tighter and hugged her for a while before saying, ” “do you want to shower? It’ll be better if you take a shower.”

“Yes.”

Only then did Jiang che slowly release her. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, saying teasingly, ” “Go, I’ll warm my bed and wait for you.”

Shi Yan,”Yingluo.”

when shi yan came out of the shower, jiang che was already lying on the bed.

she walked over, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

Jiang che, who was lying on his side in her direction, said, ” “miss shi, come closer. i can’t hold you.”

usually, he would pull shi yan into his arms after she lay down. this was the first time he had made her take the initiative to lean into his arms.

Shi Yan smiled and took the initiative to shrink into his arms.

the moment she got close, he held her face with one hand and kissed her.

First, he kissed her gently on the lips. This continued for a long time before he went deeper. It was a very gentle kiss. In Shi Yan’s eyes, this was the gentlest kiss they had ever had since they got together.

there wasn’t much lust in it, but more of comfort.

At least, that was what Shi Yan felt.

After the long kiss, Jiang che wiped the corner of Shi Yan’s lips with his thumb and kissed her forehead lightly, pulling her into his arms. “miss shi, go to sleep.”

Shi Yan was slightly stunned by his sudden stop.

she thought that he would tease her.

Thinking of this, her heart was moved. She smiled and leaned on his chest, slowly closing her eyes and saying in a low voice, ” “Good night, Mr. Jiang.”

“Good night,” she said.

Sunday afternoon, Jade Restaurant.

in the pavilion in the backyard, shi yan sat beside jiang che. other than them, there were two other people sitting at the table. they were yu xi and yun jian.

After returning from the hot spring resort, Shi Yan and Jiang che went straight to the Jade Restaurant. last night, shi yan had told yun jian that she would treat them to a meal this afternoon.

They didn’t meet in the private room in the front building of the Jade eatery. Instead, they met in Jiang Che’s private Pavilion. Since Yuxi and Yun Jian were Jiang Che’s friends, Jiang che didn’t treat them as strangers.

the dishes were all prepared by jiang che on the way and he did not ask for their opinions.

Of course, the two of them didn’t have any objections.

well, in fact, it was more because they didn’t dare to have any opinions.

not to mention yun jian, even yuxi was a little overwhelmed by the honor of being invited to dinner by the fifth master jiang.

However, when he found out from Yun Jian that it was Shi Yan’s idea to treat them to a meal and not Jiang Che’s, Yuxi was not so surprised.

” ah che, miss shi yan, we know that you haven’t had the chance to formally congratulate the two of you after being together for so long. taking advantage of today, third young master yu and i would like to offer you a toast. congratulations. ”

The two of them stood up and raised their glasses.

shi yan glanced at jiang che and also stood up to raise her glass.

“thank you,” he smiled.

“thank you,” jiang che also said.

His tone was very solemn, and it made Yuxi and Yun Jian look at him.

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Take a seat, take a seat. We’re not outsiders. “Speaking of which, I always thought that ah-che would be the last one out of the three of us to be single. I even thought that he would be alone for the rest of his life. I didn’t expect him to be the first one to be single. It’s really hard to predict.”

shi yan didn’t know how to respond to yun jian’s words, so she just smiled.

“i’m lucky.”

jiang che looked at shi yan with a gentle smile in his eyes. he then looked at the two people sitting opposite him. you guys aren’t as lucky as me to meet such a nice person like miss Shi. Are you envious? ”

His tone was no different from usual, but when his words fell into the ears of the two, they felt like they owed him.

He wasn’t sure if he was envious, but he really wanted to hit someone.

I’m very envious! Yun Jian smiled without a smile. I’m very envious!

Ah che, I didn’t expect you to be such a dog when it comes to love!

yun jian thought about this in her heart but didn’t dare to say it out loud.

“since you’re so envious, do you want me to get miss shi to introduce you? miss shi should know quite a few girls.”

not to mention yuxi and yun jian, even shi yan’s mouth twitched imperceptibly when she heard jiang che’s words.

she didn’t expect him to be like this.

however, as his girlfriend, she would not expose him at this time. she smiled and said, ” “if third young master yu and doctor yun need it, i’ll help you look around and see if there’s any suitable candidate.”

the corners of yu xi’s mouth twitched. ” thank you for your kind intentions, miss shi yan. you can help yun jian find one. i don’t have any needs in this area for the time being. ”

“i … i don’t have any for the time being. thank you, miss shi yan.”

“Ah-che, I really have to thank you!” She said to Jiang che, gritting her teeth.

“No need to thank me.”

jiang che calmly raised his eyes and glanced at him, then continued to put food into shi yan’s bowl.

it made yun jian’s teeth itch, and she bit down hard on the ribs.

As they chatted, they were already halfway through the meal.

“What’s the situation between you and Xuan Jinrui?” yu xi asked jiang che.

“i’ll help him return to the capital and help him when necessary. the condition is that he will trap xuan siyun so that she won’t disturb me and miss shi, and a reward of one billion yuan.”

one billion?

Was the fifth Lord Jiang someone who lacked one billion Yuan?

He was only willing to get involved in the family’s internal strife because Xuan Siyun annoyed him. Since she was the chosen heir of the Xuan family, he couldn’t do anything to her directly, so he found Xuan Jinrui and let them fight among themselves.

“why are you suddenly asking about this?”

” i need to know what kind of relationship you have with xuan jinrui so that i can decide how to treat him. after all, i still have to give you face. ” Yu Xi said.

“i don’t have a selfless friendship with him. the only condition for me to help him is that his target is xuan siyun. everything else has nothing to do with me.”

Jiang Che’s statement was clear.

“i’m relieved to hear you say that.”

Yun Jian looked at them in confusion and asked Yu Xi, ” “what, did xuan jinrui offend you?”

“He set his sights on Rui ‘er. you’ve just barely gained a foothold in house xuan and can barely fight with xuan siyun, and now you’re thinking of coming to haicheng yourself with rui ‘er. house xuan, what are you doing?”

Yu Xi snorted coldly,”each one is more ignorant than the other!.”

“He came to Sea city to see your niece? When did that happen?” yun jian did not know about this.

shi yan was clear.

Jiang Rui had told her before.

So, Xuan Jinrui came to look for Jiang Rui because, like Xuan Siyun, he felt that Jiang Rui was a threat to his position?

“it’s been a few days. rui ‘er told jiang cheng about this, and i only found out about it when jiang cheng mentioned it. by the time we found out, he had already left sea city. to be able to avoid me and jiang cheng and secretly come to see rui ‘er, xuan jinrui does have some ability.”

“You can already confirm that he’s an enemy and not a friend?”

everyone present, including jiang che, was a little surprised that shi yan would interrupt.

The main reason was that she really didn’t like to get involved in other people’s Affairs.

After being stunned for a moment, Yu Xi said, ” not at the moment. But if he’s a friend and not an enemy, he can come and see Rui ‘er openly if he wants to see her. Why would he bother to avoid me and Jiang Cheng secretly? ” furthermore, he only came to sea city to see rui ‘er and did not go to see my sister-in-law.”

Yun Jian said,’indeed, even if he’s not an enemy, the probability of him being one of us is not high. ah che had already said that he had no personal relationship with him. since that’s the case, you can deal with xuan jinrui however you want in the future. there’s no need to worry. just call me if you need help. i’m a free man anyway, i have plenty of time.”

Yu Xi nodded.

“Do you have any idea who the head of the Gu family is?” she asked Jiang che.

She was asking him about the whereabouts of the head of the Gu family after he came to Haicheng and if he had any definite news.

Yu Xi had yet to find any trace of the other party. Among the people with the surname Gu and some influence in Haicheng, he had only found Gu Yi.

He had dealt with the head of the Gu family before and Gu Yike was not that person.

As for whether Gu Yi had anything to do with the Gu family, further investigation was required. So far, no one had found anything related to the Gu family.

” what? ” jiang che raised his eyes and glanced at him. ” do you think i’d waste my time and effort to investigate someone who has nothing to do with me? ”

Yu Xi,”hehe.”

well, he understood that the fifth lord jiang was only able to tell him that the head of the gu family had come to haicheng because of their many years of friendship.

“check on gu yi and that gu yuanyuan.” Jiang che suddenly said.

yuxi and yun jian wanted to ask more, but they saw jiang che concentrating on putting food into shi yan’s bowl with no intention of saying anything.

They looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

Alright, it was already good enough that this man could take the initiative to give them a direction. They couldn’t expect too much.
