Chapter 289 - 289: When Did You Start to Like Me?



Lin Qingqian felt a chill on her left side, and a gust of cold wind blew. Light swirled in her eyes, and she hurriedly picked up the mineral water she had drunk, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to the man beside her.

“Ah Yan, drink some water.”

The coldness in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes suddenly dissipated, especially when he saw the lipstick at the mouth of the bottle. His eyes gradually burned.

Sensing something, Lin Qingqian’s fingers slowly turned, wanting to retract and wipe off her lipstick.

Jiang Yanshen seemed to have seen through her intentions. He grabbed the bottle of mineral water and brought it to his mouth, especially when his lips happened to be on the side of her lipstick.

He even deliberately looked at her with a burning gaze and a faint smile.

Lin Qingqian’s heart trembled from his numb gaze. She pursed her lips and glared at him coquettishly.

Seeinz that she was embarrassed, Jianz Yanshen’s adam’s aDDle moved. He

handed the mineral water bottle back to her and said meaningfully, “Thank you.”

Jiang Yanshen had yet to sit back down when he heard her low voice. “Where’s your mysophobia?”

Jiang Yanshen’s black eyes sparkled. He held her fair hand and separated her slender fingers. Then, his ten fingers interlocked, and his low and hoarse voice slowly sounded in her ears. “You cured me a long time ago.”

Lin Qingqian couldn’t help but lower her head and smile.

Just as the two of them were feeling sweet below the stage, they suddenly heard Vin say on stage, “Thank you, Mr. Ming Yuan, the President of the Ming

Corporation, for your strong support for this charity banquet. Next, let’s invite Mr. Ming on stage to say a few words for us.”

Lin Qingqian’s smiling lips suddenly froze. When she looked at the big screen, she saw Ming Xiao in a long red dress walking towards the stage.

Vin was obviously stunned when she saw Ming Xiao, but she quickly reacted and handed the microphone to her.

Ming Xiao took the microphone and smiled brightly. “Hello, everyone. I’m Ming Xiao. My father should have been standing here tonight, but he’s not feeling well, so I’m standing here on his behalf. The Ming Corporation has always been doing charity…”

Jiang Yanshen noticed that the smile on Lin Qingqian’s face had faded a lot, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on her hand.

Lin Qingqian sensed it and turned her head to look at him. The corners of her lips curled up and she pretended to be fine.

The entire charity night was harmonious and progressed smoothly. Many celebrities made donations, and the one who donated the most was Lin Qingqian’s table.

During the final group photo, Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen didn’t go on stage and found an excuse to go to the washroom.

As soon as she walked out of the washroom, she saw Ming Xiao standing at the door. Her slender figure leaned against the wall with a lady’s cigarette between her fingers. She was charming and was a stunner that men would go crazy over with just one glance.

However, Lin Qingqian’s gaze was calm, as if she didn’t see her and walked past her.

Ming Xiao looked up lazily and said gloomily, “Junior, you seem to be getting more and more unruly. You don’t even bother to greet me when you see me

Perhaps because there wasn’t an audience, she couldn’t be bothered to play the elegant role of the eldest daughter of the Ming family anymore. She looked at Lin Qingqian with dark and disdainful eyes.

Lin Qingqian stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at her. Her elegant facial features were filled with indifference and calmness. “It’s been so long since you graduated, but Senior Ming still hasn’t moved on from the past?”

Ming Xiao flicked the ashes of her cigarette and sneered. “I just saw you and thought of the past. I think you’ve been living too well in the past few years when I wasn’t around. So much so that you’ve almost forgotten about the past.”

“I still have to thank Senior Ming for taking care of me in the past.” Lin

Qingqian pursed her lips lightly, there was no trace of gratitude in her voice.

“You’re welcome.” Ming Xiao smiled maliciously. “I came back this time to take good care of you, Junior Lin.”

Lin Qingqian could hear the warning in her words, but she was no longer the Lin Qingqian from a few years ago. Naturally, she would not be afraid of her threats.

“Then I’ll look forward to Senior’s care.”

“Huh!”

Ming Xiao sneered in disdain. Before she could finish speaking, she heard a deep and cold voice. “Miss Ming, you don’t have to worry about my woman.”

Lin Qingqian turned around and saw the man a few steps away. She didn’t

know when he was standing there. There was no emotion on his exquisite face, and his deep eyes were filled with snow that was difficult to melt.

When Ming Xiao saw Jiang Yanshen, her breathing paused and something flashed across her eyes.

Jiang Yanshen walked to Lin Qingqian’s side and held her small hand. His voice was warm as he pulled her away. “Let’s go back.”

Lin Qingqian nodded and followed him.

Ming Xiao watched as they walked further and further away. She couldn’t help but sneer and her eyes were filled with sarcasm. When she noticed a white figure in the corner, she said coldly, “Designer L, please wait.”

Han Liubai’s back suddenly stopped. When he heard the sound of high heels approaching, he turned to look at her. “You’ve got the wrong person.”

Ming Xiao stubbed out the cigarette in her hand on the trash can and looked at him with a smile. “Although I was in France previously, I’ve also been to the fashion week in England a few times. I accidentally bumped into you talking to Secretary Xu!”

“Designer L, White’s President Han. Who would have thought that you would be a small stylist at Shi Guang Studio now?”

The warmth in Han Liubai’s eyes gradually faded. He turned around and wanted to leave.

Ming Xiao: “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Lin Qingqian your true identity?”

Han Liubai stopped in his tracks. Without turning his head, he said, “Help yourself.”

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the woman’s cold voice say unhurriedly,

“Don’t you want her?”

Ming Xiao walked in front of him and looked up with a smile that was like a huge poisonous flower. “We can work together. I want Jiang Yanshen, and you can get Lin Qingqian…”

When her slender fingers were about to land on his pale face, Han Liubai grabbed them first. His usually gentle eyes were filled with endless coldness at this moment. He said coldly, “I’m not the same kind of person as you. You’ve found the wrong partner.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ruthlessly shook off her hand and continued walking.

Ming Xiao was not angry. She just tilted her head and said slowly, “What if I say that Jiang Yanshen has been lying to her?”

Han Liubai suddenly stopped in his tracks. When he turned around to look at her, his eyes were filled with curiosity…

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The night without the chirping of cicadas was exceptionally quiet.

Jiang Yanshen didn’t ask the chauffeur to drive the car to the entrance. Instead, he stopped at the entrance and pulled her in slowly.

Although it was already desolate outside, the roads in the neighborhood were still filled with greenery. It was a lively scene.

Lin Qingqian looked up at his perfect side profile. “Why do you suddenly want to take a walk?”

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips moved. “It’s been a long time since I took a walk with you.”

He couldn’t remember the last time they took a walk together.

Lin Qingqian was reminded of the past by his words. “In the past, I always pestered you to accompany me for a walk. You found me annoying and always gave me attitude.”

Jiang Yanshen pinched her fingers. “But I accompany you every time, don’t I?” Upon hearing his words, Lin Qingqian reacted. That seemed to be the case.

In the past, she liked to stick to him. Every time, he would look impatient, but every time, he would do as she wished.

“Now that I think about it, you actually didn’t treat me very badly.” Lin

Qingqian took a deep breath. “Perhaps I became more and more greedy later

Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and looked down at her with burning eyes.

Lin Qingqian blinked. “What’s wrong?”

Her long hair was blown up by the wind and covered half of her face. Jiang Yanshen reached out and swept her hair behind her ear. He said slowly in a low voice, “Qianqian, you’re very good. If it weren’t for me, you might have had a better life in those four years.”

Lin Qingqian was stunned and reacted instantly. “So you know.”

Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. With his sharp senses, it would not be easy for her to hide it from him.

Jiang Yanshen’s warm fingertips caressed her face. “Even if you didn’t want to tell me, you should have told Grandma. She dotes on you so much, she won’t watch you get bullied.”

Lin Qingqian shook her head gently. “I’m just a girl from the countryside. I don’t fit in with this big city. I’m already very grateful to be able to live in the Jiang residence. At that time, I just wanted to endure it and let it go. I didn’t want to trouble Grandma with my matters.”

Jiang Yanshen’s heart seemed to have been stung by a scorpion’s tail, and it hurt unbearably. “No matter how powerful the Ming family is, they still have to give face to Old Madam!”

Lin Qingqian’s curly eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at him with bright eyes. “If I had told you then, would you have helped me too?”

“Yes,” Jiang Yanshen answered without hesitation.

“Why?”

Jiang Yanshen was silent for a moment. He held her small hand tightly and explained softly as they walked, “At that time, you just came from the countryside. Although you looked silly and I felt that you were very annoying, but…

“I’ve seen a kind of tenacity in your eyes. That tenacity is as if you won’t be defeated no matter how harsh and difficult the environment is.’

“So you were moved by my tenacity?” Lin Qingqian playfully hooked his palm.

Jiang Yanshen gave her a warning look, and Lin Qingqian immediately didn’t dare to be naughty anymore.

“At that time, I was thinking that this girl was quite interesting.”

“Just interesting?” Lin Qingqian was not satisfied with the way he put it. “Don’t you think that I’m cute, beautiful, and smart, and that I’m likable?” Jiang Yanshen looked at her and smiled without saying anything.

Lin Qingqian blinked her eyes. “Alright, I’ll take back what I said, but—”

She stopped and looked up at him. “When exactly did you start liking me?” she asked curiously.

Jiang Yanshen’s thick eyelashes fluttered, covering the secret in his eyes. He pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything.

Lin Qingqian guessed doubtfully, “Before or after the divorce?”

Seeing that she was very concerned about this problem, Jiang Yanshen’s adam’s apple moved a few times and he called her softly, “Qianqian…’

“Huh?” She looked up at him quietly with her clear eyes.

“I don’t know when I fell in love, but I’m deeply in love.”

When the low voice slowly sounded, Lin Qingqian’s clear eyes involuntarily widened as she stared at him in a daze.

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and his lips landed gently on her forehead.

Lin Qingqian’s breathing was slightly sluggish. A gust of wind blew over, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of flowers.

The moonlight became gentler and gentler, enveloping a pair of lovers who were immersed in the turbulent mortal world, unable to extricate themselves..
