She Is From The Countryside

229 going to the banquet together

when they first met, she was dignified and gentle.

in fact, she was also such a person. he still remembered the day she appeared in the bamboo garden in a cheongsam. she sat on this sofa and accidentally fell asleep. she sat upright.

a person like her should be more inclined to follow the rules when it came to matters between men and women, but she was willing to play along with him.

“Why are you suddenly saying this?”

before he could answer, she reacted and said with a smile, ” “do you think i’m giving in to you?”

“isn’t that so?”

“no, i like it too.”

Jiang che, when I’m with you, I’ll like it no matter what. There’s no such thing as whether I’m going to give in to you or not. There’s only you and me here, and no one else. Anything is fine.

Jiang che gently caressed her face and chuckled, ” “Miss Shi, you’ll easily be unable to sleep if you say such things at this time.”

Shi Yan turned her face slightly to avoid looking at him.

Jiang che didn’t say anything else. A moment later, Shi Yan suddenly thought of something and looked at him.”jiang che, you didn’t know how to use yingluo just now.”

even if she didn’t finish her sentence, jiang che could understand what she meant.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Shi. I still want to spend a few years with you. I’m good at medicine, so it’s not difficult for me to make some medicine that won’t harm my body. I want to spend the night with miss Shi properly and don’t want anything else to be mixed in.”

“it really won’t hurt your body?”

it’s definitely not possible in the long term. It’s fine if it happens once or twice occasionally.

……

about two hours later, jiang che carried shi yan upstairs to their room.

He went straight into the bathroom.

when the hot water was placed in the bathtub, jiang che took out a makeup removal cotton and carefully helped shi yan, who seemed to be asleep and was being carried by him, remove her makeup.

Shi Yan’s things had been packed up by Xiao Zhao. In addition, Jiang che had asked someone to buy them. The bamboo garden did not lack anything for Shi Yan.

“Miss Shi, don’t sleep yet. I’ll help you wash your face.”

“I still want to take a bath.” Shi Yan replied in a daze.

I know, you said downstairs that you were running the water. Wash your face first.

shi yan’s eyes were closed, but she obediently put her arms around his neck and moved away from him to give him some space to help her wash her face.

after washing her face, the water in the bathtub was filled.

Jiang che carried her in.

Shi Yan was too lazy to move and let him serve her the whole time.

when she came out of the bathroom, it was almost two hours later.

it was almost three in the morning.

jiang che didn’t disturb her anymore. he laid on the bed, pulled her into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

*

The next day.

When Shi Yan woke up, there was no one beside her.

the curtains were closed and the room was dark, so she couldn’t tell the time.

After lying in bed for a few minutes, she opened the blanket and got out of bed.

his whole body was sore and weak, but it was better than the night in her courtyard. there was no other discomfort.

She put on the bathrobe that was folded at the head of the bed.

jiang che must have placed it here, in case she woke up naked and opened the curtains.

he pulled open the curtains and light instantly shone in.

shi yan squinted uncomfortably and took a while to slowly adapt.

the sky was bright and there was sunlight, but he couldn’t tell what time it was.

Just as she was about to turn around to wash up, she was hugged from behind.

he rested his chin on her shoulder and said in a clear and hoarse voice, ” “You’re awake?”

Shi Yan looked down at his slender hands, the Jade ring on his left thumb, and his half-rolled shirt sleeve.

It was obvious that they were dressed neatly.

“Hmm, What time is it?” she placed her hand on his.

only then did she realize that her voice was a little hoarse.

it’s almost eleven o ‘clock. I didn’t wake you up because you were sleeping soundly. Are you hungry? ”

Only then did Shi Yan realize that she was a little hungry.

“A little.”

I’ve already asked someone to send food downstairs. It’s being kept warm in the kitchen. I’ll go down and bring it out first. You can come down after you’ve washed up and changed your clothes.

“alright,” he said.

Shi Yan responded, but he did not let go of her for a long time.

“what’s the matter?” she asked with a smile.

“let’s hug a little longer.”

shi yan laughed.

it seemed that after last night, he had become a little clingy.

the gown you asked someone to prepare has arrived. I didn’t know you prepared it beforehand, so I prepared a set for you in advance. It’s all in the cloakroom. You can choose which one you want to wear.

shi yan was very helpless. she turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist. she looked up at him. Mr. Jiang, you brought it up on purpose. Aren’t you hinting that I should wear the one you prepared? ”

jiang che lowered his head and pecked her on the lips. ” “miss shi, you know me the best.”

“jiang rui called you twice. you didn’t pick up the first time, but i picked up the second time about half an hour ago. when i found out that you were with me, i went to the yu family first.”

“today is her family reunion with the yu family, so you probably want to accompany her. but there’s no rush. let’s go downstairs to eat first, then change into the dress and we’ll go to the yu family together.”

the banquet is at five o ‘clock in the afternoon. You’re going now too? ”

shi yan’s original plan was for her and jiang rui to go over first, and jiang che to go over at what time. she didn’t expect that she would be sleeping until now.

on jiang che’s clear and gentle face, there was a smile hidden in his peach blossom eyes.”Miss Shi, as a boyfriend, I can’t let my girlfriend attend the banquet alone. even if i’m busy, i’ll still make time to accompany you.”

“Alright,” he said. shi yan smiled and hugged him.

by the time shi yan finished washing up and changed her clothes, jiang che had already brought out the dishes from the kitchen.

Shi Yan casually glanced at the neat and tidy living room, which was no different from usual, and unconsciously recalled the mess in the living room last night. She remembered that Jiang che had said that he wanted to be with her properly and had not hesitated to drink the medicine he had prepared in advance in preparation for her return.

his ears were slightly hot.

“Miss Shi.”

she followed the sound and saw a handsome man standing outside the dining room with his hands in his pockets and his back against the wall. he was looking at her with a smile in his eyes, and it was a meaningful smile.

“what are you thinking about?” he asked.

Shi Yan’s ears burned even hotter.

“i’m not thinking about anything,” he said with a smile.

He calmly walked downstairs.

She walked in front of him, and he held her hand as they walked into the dining room. He pulled out a chair for her.

Shi Yan sat down. As he pulled out the chair, he leaned over and whispered in her ear,”Miss Shi, you don’t have to reminisce. If you like it, we can continue next time.”

shi yan,”yingluo.”

jiang che chuckled after he finished speaking and sat opposite her.

He was still smiling.

Shi Yan glared at him, but he also picked up his chopsticks. She couldn’t help but ask,”you haven’t eaten anything yet?”

he handed her a pair of chopsticks and said with a gentle smile, ” “Miss Shi, I’m only an hour earlier than you. I don’t need to eat breakfast. since the food has been delivered, i naturally have to wait for you.”

“What if I don’t wake up?”

“didn’t i just go upstairs to wake you up?”

“alright,” he said. shi yan didn’t feel conflicted.

after the meal, shi yan had to go upstairs to clean up.

Jiang che also went upstairs. However, he was faster in his preparations. While Shi Yan was putting on her makeup at the dressing table, he was already ready to go downstairs.

the dressing table was specially prepared for shi yan by jiang che.

it was shi yan who asked him to go downstairs first. otherwise, if the two of them stayed in the room, it might take a long time before they could go out.

shi yan didn’t even dare to turn around to look at jiang che when he went downstairs to wait for her.

He didn’t know if she didn’t believe in his self-control or her own self-control.

half an hour later, shi yan came downstairs after putting on her makeup and dress.

jiang che, who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, saw her. he put down the newspaper in his hand and stood up to walk towards her.

His eyes were not warm, but his usual gentleness could be seen in his deep eyes. However, as he walked over, his gaze remained on her without moving at all.
