Chương 24: Take Off Your Coat

Biên tập viên: Henyee Translations

A crescent moon hung quietly in the sky. The bright moonlight enveloped the entire city. A cold wind blew past, blowing up her long black hair.

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and did not say anything. He just watched as her slender figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Wasn't this what she wanted?

Lin Qingqian went upstairs to open the door and kicked away her high heels. She walked all the way into the washroom and turned on the tap to splash cold water on her face, trying her best to calm down.

She raised her head and took a deep breath. She looked at the face covered in water droplets in the mirror. She could not suppress the anger in her eyes. Her red lips pursed slightly and she could not help but curse, "Dog of a man."

——On the hill there are trees and in my heart, you're shining like a star. Our hearts are one even when we're apart.

A ringtone came from the living room. She turned around and walked to the dining table. She picked up her handbag and took out her phone. When she saw that it was a call from Suisui, her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She took a few breaths and picked up the call. Her voice was calm. "Hello, Suisui…"

After a moment of silence, she said indifferently, "I understand. Thank you, Suisui."

After ending the call, she turned her head to look at the moonlight outside the window. It was as hazy as her path ahead. It was shrouded in fog, and she could not see the road beyond.

After a while, her gaze landed on her phone.

This was an old phone she used in the past. The ringtone and name had not been changed. Thinking of what Jiang Yanshen had done, she changed Jiang Yanshen's name to Dog Man without hesitation and changed the ringtone to "schnappi".

When the music of the song sounded, it happened to ring with a happy tone and the childish voice of a boy—

You were originally an idiot, but you pretended to be cool. It was you, an idiot, an idiot, an idiot, an idiot.

… .

The next day, Lin Qingqian had just finished breakfast when the doorbell rang.

She stood up to open the door. Lu Yuan stood at the door with a sincere and respectful expression. "Good morning, Madam."

Lin Qingqian did not invite him in. She left the door open and turned back to the dining table to continue drinking her soy milk.

Lu Yuan hesitated at the door for a moment before walking in. "Madam, this is an invitation designed by the wedding company. Director Jiang asked me to send it over and asked you to invite all the friends you want."

Lin Qingqian put down her cup and looked up with a faint smile. "Director Jiang is a busy man and probably doesn't remember. Does he not know that I don't have any friends in Lan City other than Suisui?"

Lu Yuan's expression froze for a few seconds before returning to normal. "Director Jiang said to invite some university and high school classmates. If there's a need to travel and stay, I can arrange it."

"There's no need." Lin Qingqian rejected decisively. "Take it back."

"Oh." Lu Yuan did not know what had happened to her recently. She had suddenly become a different person and was no longer as easy to talk to as before. He did not dare to provoke her easily and obediently returned to report.

He'd only taken two steps when a clear voice behind him said, "Wait."

Head Steward Lu Yuan stopped and turned around. "What instructions does Madam have?"

"Do you know how to fix a faucet?" Lin Qingqian asked.

"Ah?" Lu Yuan was stunned.

Lin Qingqian frowned. "No? Then I'll get someone to fix it."

Lu Yuan finally reacted. "I do, I do!"

If a repairman came knocking on the door and those rough men had any ill intentions, and anything happened to the Madam, even a thousand lives would not be enough for Director Jiang to kill him.

"The faucet in the bathroom is broken. The toolbox is beside the bathtub. Sorry to trouble you." Lin Qingqian stood up and brought him to the bathroom.

Lu Yuan followed behind and replied, "No trouble, no trouble."

The bathroom floor was wet and a mess. The faucet was still dripping…

Just as Lu Yuan was about to go over to fix it, Lin Qingqian suddenly said, "Take off your jacket. I'll put it outside to prevent it from getting dirty later. Otherwise, you still have to go back and change."
