Lin Qingqian’s gaze followed his figure up. His handsome face was slightly cold, as if he was not too happy.

Jiang Yanshen walked back to the chair and sat down. His eyes were lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Lin Qingqian wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words. She had to deal with her work first.

—Knock, knock.

Han Liubai knocked on the door and entered. His gaze subconsciously glanced at the man sitting on the chair before looking at Lin Qingqian. “Have you finished reading the information?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “I’m done.”

“Do you have any good suggestions?” Han Liubai walked in and asked, not avoiding the fact that there was another person in the office.

Lin Qingqian pushed the information in front of him and said softly, “There’s nothing wrong with the overall style, but this time, Ren Guangxi’s album focuses on his original intention. There’s no need to be so strong in terms of color. It’s too sharp and doesn’t match his temperament. Also—”

She paused and looked hesitant. “I think you plan to use White’s new design for

Ren Guangxi next season. Will this conflict with White? Will they agree?”

Han Liubai said gently, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked Su Ying to communicate with them. There’s no problem with them. Moreover, Ren

Guangxi is their ambassador to begin with.”

Lin Qingqian thought for a moment and nodded. “Alright, then adjust the color.

The style doesn’t need to be changed, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.”

Han Liubai put away the documents. “Alright. You’re… going for lunch?”

Lin Qingqian paused and invited out of politeness, “Xiao Bai, do you want to come along?”

The man, who had been looking down silently, suddenly glanced at her with strong dissatisfaction.

Han Liubai sensed Jiang Yanshen’s displeasure and his lips curled up. He said considerately, “There’s no need. I asked Su Ying to order lunch for me. It’ll be delivered in a while.”

Lin Qingqian chuckled. “It’s been hard on you recently.”

“It’s fine. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first.” When Han Liubai turned around, his gaze swept towards Jiang Yanshen, his gaze cold.

Lin Qingqian turned off the computer and looked at Jiang Yanshen. “Alright, we can go eat.”

Jiang Yanshen narrowed his eyes and glanced at her calmly. He stood up and walked out without a word.

Lin Qingqian was stunned, and a helpless smile appeared on her lips.

Was he really angry?

Jiang Yanshen didn’t bring her too far away. The restaurant was near her company.

During lunch, there were more and more people in the restaurant. They were arranged to sit in a corner by the window.

After ordering, Lin Qingqian saw that he still looked unhappy. She took the initiative to pour him a glass of lemon water and said in a friendly manner, “Xiao Bai is the backbone of my company. He’s usually very serious about his work. He helped me relieve a lot of pressure. He’s a very good work partner.

Jiang Yanshen picked up the cup and took a sip silently, still not saying anything.

Lin Qingqian did not continue to coax him. When the attendant served the food, she took the initiative to ask the attendant to place two portions of steak in front of her.

Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and saw her squeezing the lemon on the steak. She picked up her knife and fork and began to cut the black pepper steak.

The door to memory was immediately opened.

At that time, he had only taken over the Tianyue Group for less than two years and was very busy. He did not have time to eat at all, let alone eat something as time wasting as western food.

Lin Qingqian insisted on making him to eat steak. When he came over, he was constantly on a conference call. When it ended, he saw that she had already cut the steak and placed it on a plate evenly, waiting for him to eat it together.

In the past seven years, he had always enjoyed Lin Qingqian’s sacrifice with a clear conscience. He didn’t think that there was anything wrong with this. No…

And now…

Jiang Yanshen put down the cup and reached out to take the knife and fork from her hand.

Lin Qingqian was stunned and looked up at him in confusion.

Jiang Yanshen brought the two portions of steak to him and said gently, “Your hand has just recovered. You still need to take care of it.”

Lin Qingqian’s lips curved. “Thank you, Ah Yan.”

A gentle “Ah Yan” made most of the depression in Jiang Yanshen’s heart disappear. He calmly cut the steak and placed it in front of her. “Eat.” Lin Qingqian picked up her fork and enjoyed the fruits of his labor.

Seeing the smile on her face, Jiang Yanshen dispelled his anger.

She would no longer be as obedient as before. Now, many of his negative emotions had to be digested and overcome by himself.

Perhaps this was also part of love cultivation.

The two of them finished their lunch calmly and ordered another cup of coffee. Lin Qingqian drank a caramel latte. She didn’t like things that were too bitter.

“President Lin.” A light voice suddenly attracted their attention.

Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen looked up and saw Xu Wanlan walking over. Her figure was graceful in her high heels.

Xu Wanlan looked at Jiang Yanshen and took the initiative to greet him.

“Director Jiang.”

Jiang Yanshen looked at her calmly and did not speak.

Lin Qingqian’s gaze lingered between them. “Secretary Xu, do you know each other?”

The corners of Xu Wanlan’s mouth curled into a smile as she couldn’t help but say, “Director Jiang naturally won’t know a nameless person like me. It’s just that I admire Director Jiang’s elegance as usual.

Previously, at the funeral of Second Master Jiang, I wanted to pay my respects, but I was afraid that it would be rude, so I didn’t go in.”

A hint of surprise appeared in Lin Qingqian’s eyes, but she quickly restrained it. “Secretary Xu is also here to eat?”

Xu Wanlan nodded slightly and her gaze landed on Jiang Yanshen. “I didn’t expect to meet President Lin and Director Jiang so coincidentally.”

Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes swept across her face. He picked up his coffee cup without a word and completely ignored her.

Lin Qingqian sensed that the atmosphere was a little off and tried to smooth things over. “Since we’re so fated, I’ll treat you to this meal.”

Only then did Xu Wanlan shift her gaze away from Jiang Yanshen and look at Lin Qingqian. “There’s no need. This meal is on me. Let’s eat together next time. I still have something on, so I won’t disturb you.”

Lin Qingqian nodded in agreement and watched her leave. Her bright eyes

looked at Jiang Yanshen. “Secretary Xu said that she admires your elegance.”

Jiang Yanshen put down his coffee cup and looked at her. “So?”

“I almost forgot that your face has always been very liked.” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips, her voice more or less filled with jealousy.

Jiang Yanshen looked at her gently with his black eyes and said in a low and pleasant voice, “I don’t like them.”

His gaze seemed to be saying, “I only like you.”

Lin Qingqian’s heart trembled from his gaze, but she still said stubbornly, “There were so many people chasing after you back then. Why did you only care about me? Is it because of Grandma?”

At that time, there were countless women wooing Jiang Yanshen, but he always appeared very cold and even disgusted by them. He didn’t let them take half a step closer, let alone eat together.

There was a glint in Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes as his thin lips curled up slightly. “Perhaps it’s because you’re more silly and obedient.” Lin Qingqian:

This answer was worse than if he said that it’s because of Grandma!

Moreover—

“How am I silly?” Qingyue’s voice was protesting.

The smile on Jiang Yanshen’s lips deepened. “Aren’t you silly?”

Lin Qingqian thought of the silly things she had done when she first came to Lan City and didn’t have the confidence to refute. However, she didn’t want him to laugh at her. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, “That’s because I grew up in the countryside. The environment caused me to not know. Look, didn’t I learn it later? I just needed someone willing to teach me.”

The last sentence became softer and softer because Jiang Yanshen was the person who taught her.

Wasn’t there an old saying that if a man saw through your sorry state and ugliness, you only had two choices? Kill him or… marry him.

Lin Qingqian clearly chose the latter, but the outcome was a little unsatisfactory.

Seeing her arguing and guilty look, Jiang Yanshen’s eyes were filled with gentleness. He knew that she was not so soft and was very strong-willed, so he stopped teasing her.

“You can also think of it this way. You’ve been different from others to me from the beginning.”

Surprise flashed across Lin Qingqian’s eyes as she looked at him in a daze with her watery eyes, sweetness bubbling in her heart.

Was she different from others to him from the beginning?

If it were anyone else, they would definitely ask what was different, but Lin Qingqian did not want to ask. This answer was enough for her now.

The rest was not important.

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head to hide the curve of his lips and pretended to drink his coffee.

Lin Qingqian also held her cup and drank her coffee, her eyes shining brightly.

Although the matter of Madam Jiang being chased out of the Jiang family caused a little commotion, it was not a big deal.

Firstly, everyone had already guessed this outcome. Secondly, Tianyue Group’s public relations department was already prepared and controlled the public opinion in time to minimize the impact of the news on the company.

The storm in the Jiang Family had finally passed, but Lin Qingqian was busy.

Ren Guangxi’s new album received a very good response when it was released. Lu Qinshang had almost done a comprehensive promotion and resource allocation for him. There were many professionals in the industry who recommended him, sold him, and praised him.

Lu Qinshang struck the iron while it was hot and held a small fan appreciation meeting for him. There were 3,000 people.

The styling was naturally handled by Lin Qingqian’s company. Han Liubai took charge of the styling, and Lin Qingqian assisted him.

Ren Guangxi had left her a few VIP seats in advance and asked her to come.

Lin Qingqian brought Su Ying, Suisui, Xiao Bai, and two other colleagues over to support him.

Suisui and Han Liubai sat on her left and right. Suisui looked at the stage and felt guilty.

“Why do I feel like I’m betraying my Big Brother?”

Lin Qingqian turned her head to look at her. “You’re thinking too much.”

Suisui shook her head and said righteously, “You don’t understand. For fans like us, coming out to watch other people’s concerts and giving other people support is equivalent to flipping over a wall. We deserve to be punished!” Lin Qingqian:

Suisui looked around and kept praying that she would not be caught red-handed by her idol. That would be awkward.

Lin Qingqian shook her head helplessly when she saw her look of fear as if she was an adulterer about to be caught in bed.

The fan appreciation ceremony officially began. The lights in the venue were instantly switched off, and the venue was pitch-black, leaving only the support items in the fans’ hands shining.

Someone walked out from backstage and stopped beside Suisui. He lowered his voice and said, “Can you sit aside?” This voice—

In the darkness, Suisui’s hair stood on end..
