Chapter 55: Tutoring on Sunday

After the party ended, Jian Yujie sent Jian Yiling home.

He could only rest assured when Jian Yiling entered the house and saw Grandma Jian.

Jian Yujie smiled and waved to Jian Yiling, “Yiling, I’ll leave now. If you have anything to talk to me about, contact me on WeChat!”

After Jian Yujie left, Jian Yiling returned to her room. She found out that the corridor outside her room was piled up with things.

In confusion, Jian Yiling looked back at the servant who was following her.

The servant explained, “The pile on the left that looks pink and fluffy were gifts from young master Yujie. The ones on the right that were piled neatly were sent by your eldest brother. As we didn’t know what you wanted to do with them, we left in them in the corridor. We wanted to wait until you picked a few you liked before putting the rest in your bedroom or the cloakroom.”

When Jian Yiling had arrived at the old Jian Residence, the cloakroom was initially empty. However, in recent days, thanks to the ‘efforts’ of Grandma Jian, half the cloakroom was already full.

And now that there were so many things here, the entire cloakroom was soon going to be full.

Jian Yuncheng had arrived a while ago. He had brought a lot of things with him.

She could clearly tell which were sent by Jian Yujie and which were sent by Jian Yuncheng. Jian Yujie’s gifts were fluffy and cute. They included plushies and other soft toys.

Jian Yiling went to open the gifts sent by Jian Yuncheng.

In the boxes were neatly stacked clothes and shoes. There were also various items that Jian Yiling would use in her day to day life. From the way the items were arranged, Jian Yiling could tell that her mother organized them. A man couldn’t organize these things in such an orderly matter.

There was another box that contained various nutritional products.

There was a handwritten note on top of the box. The writing was elegant.

The note detailed how to consume every nutrition product. It instructed Jian Yiling on all the situations that she could encounter throughout the day.

On Sunday, Qin Chuan arrived at the Old Jian Residence.

The housekeeper didn’t bring him directly to Jian Yiling. Instead, the housekeeper brought him to see Grandma Jian.

Grandma Jian requested to not have a tight tuition schedule today and asked him to give Jian Yiling more leisure time.

Grandma Jian wanted her darling to be happy and healthy.

She didn’t see the point in getting her only granddaughter to study hard all day long.

Jian Yuncheng found someone to tutor Jian Yiling because he didn’t want his sister to be too wild. He wanted her to put her mind on the right things.

And thus, as long as Jian Yiling didn’t cause trouble, there was no need to study hard every single day. Studying excessively was not a good thing.

Qin Chuan didn’t decline Grandma Jian’s request. When he received the task of tutoring, Jian Yuncheng had told him that there was no need for Jian Yiling to improve in academics. It was important for her to not be exhausted. The only thing that he needed to focus on was making sure that her temper dies down. At the same time, the classes were something to keep her mind off random things.

Qin Chuan’s impression of Jian Yiling was that she was a very quiet girl. He didn’t know what little girls liked doing.

And thus, Grandma Jian got the housekeeper to bring Qin Chuan into the courtyard. There were grapevines entwined in the lattices around them.

The servants prepared the two people some tea and fruit.

The textbooks were pushed to a corner.

In their previous meetings, Qin Chuan and Jian Yiling got along quite well. The only thing was that Jian Yiling appeared a little afraid of him.

Qin Chuan had no idea why he appeared scary to Jian Yiling.

If she didn’t need to talk to him, she definitely wouldn’t speak to him.

And even when she spoke, she limited her words.

What Qin Chuan didn’t know was, Jian Yiling wasn’t actually scared of him. She simply didn’t want to talk to him, nor interact with him.

For Jian Yiling, she felt uncomfortable being too close to a man that she was unfamiliar with. Especially if that man was Qin Chuan.
