Lin Qingqian lowered her head and focused on changing the child’s dressing, not noticing the abnormality around her.

Until the little kid poked her forehead. “Big Sister…’ “Huh?” Lin Qingqian looked up and asked in a gentle voice, ‘What’s wrong?” The child did not say anything and pointed behind her.

Lin Qingqian turned around and saw the man standing not far away. Her mind went blank.

Jiang Yanshen didn’t hesitate anymore and strode in front of her. His long arm reached out to grab her and pull her into his embrace.

He hugged her tightly, leaving no gaps.

When Lin Qingqian was hugged tightly in his arms, she still had a confused expression. Her clear eyes were filled with disbelief, and she suspected that she was dreaming.

Jiang Yanshen turned his head and kissed her hair, his eyes filled with heartache and pity.

Lin Qingqian regained some of her rationality and reached out to push him away. She took half a step back to distance herself from him and looked up at Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite facial features. Her voice was as soft as willow catkins. “You, why are you here?”

Jiang Yanshen’s throat bobbed, and his thin lips moved. “Why do you think?” Because you’re here!

Lin Qingqian’s breathing paused as she realized that her eyes were red and misty. She bit her lip and said, “Are you stupid?”

“Do you know how dangerous this place is? What if there’s another earthquake? What if you’re infected? What will happen to the Tianyue Group? What will happen to Grandma?”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t even blink as he said in a low voice, “Tianyue Group and Grandma has Yunshen, but you only have me.”

And I only have you.

A bean-sized tear rolled out of her bright eyes. She raised her hand to wipe it away and said, “Idiot,” before hugging him again.

It was not that she was not afraid from last night until now, but she could not show her weak side in front of Auntie. She had to be strong. Otherwise, how could she take care of Auntie?

Until this moment, when she was hugged by Jiang Yanshen in this world of ice and snow, the suppressed fear and grievances were finally torn open and disintegrated.

She was afraid, and her aggrieved tears fell one by one. It was as if she could only shed her disguise in his arms and no longer have to be the Lin Qingqian who could remain calm in the eyes of others.

Jiang Yanshen felt her trembling and hugged her even tighter. He kissed her long hair tenderly and said in a low and hoarse voice, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

Lin Qingqian tightened her grip on his arm. When she smelled the familiar ebony agarwood on his body, she felt the coldness in her heart being driven away by an invisible flame. The emptiness was also filled up tightly, not leaving a single gap.

With a splash, the warmth between the couple was diluted. Lin Qingqian turned around and saw Lin Chaoyan’s shocked and angry expression. At her feet was an empty basin.

Lin Chaoyan glared fiercely at Jiang Yanshen with anger in her eyes before turning around and walking home.

Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and wanted to chase after her.

Jiang Yanshen reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Lin Qingqian turned around and said anxiously, “Help me change the little kid’s dressing first. I’ll talk to Auntie.”

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly. Before he could speak, his fingers were pried open and he watched helplessly as her figure chased after Lin Chaoyan.

“Big Brother, are you going to change my dressing?” The little kid looked up at him, her face frozen red. “I’m cold…

Jiang Yanshen came back to his senses and his gaze shifted from her small face to her legs. Because one of her legs had been bandaged, she had taken off her cotton pants and was only wearing a pair of thermal underwear. The legs of her pants were even rolled up.

He squatted down and helped Lin Qingqian deal with the aftermath.

Lin Qingqian only caught up to Lin Chaoyan when she reached the door of the house. She held her hand and said, “Auntie, listen to my explanation…”

“Explain what?” Lin Chaoyan flung her hand away angrily. “What did you promise me last year? You said that you wouldn’t be with him. How long has it been?”

Just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lin Chaoyan angrily. “Have you forgotten how the Jiang family treated you? Have you forgotten how you survived those three years?”

“I didn’t,” Lin Qingqian replied softly.

How could she forget that cold and meaningless marriage?

“You forgot!” Lin Chaoyan said indignantly, “You’re degrading yourself like this to let me, Old Master, and yourself down.”

As she spoke, her body trembled with anger.

“Auntie, I know it’s my fault for hiding it from you, but I’ve already grown up. I know what I’m doing,” Lin Qingqian explained unhurriedly.

“If you knew that back then, you wouldn’t have shamelessly married that Jiang guy and let them humiliate you like that!” Lin Chaoyan was furious and couldn’t choose her words. Every word was like a knife stabbing into Lin Qingqian’s heart.

“You’re just a wild girl from the countryside. Do you really think that the Jiang family will take a fancy to you? They’re just playing with you. They’ll throw you away like a pair of broken shoes after playing with you…”

Lin Qingqian’s face instantly alternated between green and white. She never expected her Auntie to humiliate her like this. She bit her lip and said stubbornly, “I’ve already remarried Jiang Yanshen.”

“You—” Lin Chaoyan was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. She was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped Lin Qingqian without thinking.

The sound was so loud that it almost made one hold their breath.

When Jiang Yanshen, who was walking over, saw this scene, his heart seemed to have been smashed by something. He walked to Lin Qingqian’s side in three steps.

“Qianqian…” He hugged Lin Qingqian with his long arm and turned to look at Lin Chaoyan with a cold gaze.

Lin Qingqian’s skin was tender and fair, and palm prints quickly appeared on her face, making Jiang Yanshen’s heart ache.

She looked up at Jiang Yanshen and then at Lin Chaoyan.

Lin Chaoyan’s curved nails dug into her flesh. A trace of regret flashed across her eyes as she said stubbornly, “I think you’ve grown up and your wings have hardened. No matter what I say, you won’t listen. In that case, don’t call me Auntie in the future. I’ll pretend that I never raised you.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the house.

“Auntie…”

When Lin Qingqian wanted to chase after her, Jiang Yanshen grabbed her arm, his black eyes firm and heartbroken. “Let me see your face.”

As he spoke, he pinched her chin and raised it. His dark eyes landed on her cheek and his thin lips moved slightly. “It’s red. Fortunately, it’s not swollen.” Lin Qingqian pulled his hand away and said in a low voice, “I’m fine. I’ll go and see Auntie.”

Jiang Yanshen held her arm tightly and said in a low voice, “She’s in a fit of anger. She won’t listen to anything you say now.”

“But it’s too dangerous in the house.” Lin Qingqian was worried about leaving her Auntie alone in the house.

“The more you speak, the more wrong you’ll sound. It’s better to find someone to persuade her to come out of the house first,” Jiang Yanshen analyzed calmly.

Lin Qingqian thought about what he said and felt that it made sense. “Then let’s go look for someone.”

Jiang Yanshen nodded.

Lin Qingqian walked to the place where the villagers cooked and found the neighbor who was usually on good terms with Lin Chaoyan. She asked her to call Lin Chaoyan out first. It was too dangerous in the house.

The Big Sister was a good person. She untied her apron and left without another word.

Lin Qingqian originally wanted to help her look after the pot, but Jiang Yanshen pulled her to a chair at the side and sat her down.

“What are you doing?” She looked up at him.

Jiang Yanshen did not say anything and gave Lu Yuan a look.

Lu Yuan immediately went to the medicine box and took out an ointment to send over. “Director Jiang, this is to reduce swelling and bruises.”

Jiang Yanshen took it and wanted to apply it for her.

Lin Qingqian tilted her head and dodged. “It’s fine. It’s not swollen. I’ll be fine in two days.”

“Don’t move.”

Jiang Yanshen’s deep voice carried a hint of command. His fingers pinched her chin and raised it. His fingers that were squeezed with the ointment landed on her cheek and gently rubbed it away.

She had just been slapped and her cheek still hurt a little. Lin Qingqian frowned slightly and secretly gasped.

“Does it hurt a lot?” Jiang Yanshen asked.

“It’s alright.” Her fingers clenched her sleeves tightly as she forced herself to say.

Jiang Yanshen caught her minor movements, and a helpless smile appeared on his lips. He didn’t expose her disguise, and his rub became much lighter.

Jiang Yanshen’s arrival attracted the attention of the villagers. Fortunately, he had also come last year and was quickly recognized as Lin Qingqian’s rich husband.

There was an earthquake and a virus in the village. Someone who dared to come in at this time was definitely a good person.

In less than an hour, there were rumors at the village that not only was the man Lin Qingqian married rich, but he was also especially good. To be able to come in to look for Lin Qingqian at this time, he was even more affectionate than the men on television.

While eating, Lin Chaoyan was persuaded out by her eldest sister, but she did not sit at the table.

When they set up the tent, everyone worked together. The women at home cooked together, and the villagers ate together.

Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen sat at the other table. She could see Lin Chaoyan when she turned her head, but Lin Chaoyan’s expression was gloomy. She didn’t even give her a glance.

The person at the same table called them to eat and wanted to pour wine for Jiang Yanshen…

Lin Qingqian stretched out her hand to block it. “Sorry, he can’t drink.”

The man was stunned for a moment before retracting his wine glass. He smiled awkwardly and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. The wine we drink is indeed not up to standard…”

“Uncle, that’s not what I meant.” Lin Qingqian said sincerely, “He’s not in good health and takes medicine often, so he can’t drink.”

Jiang Yanshen glanced at Jiang Yanshen and seemed to understand immediately. He smiled and said, “I see. It’s fine, it’s fine… Eat more vegetables then. ”

Jiang Yanshen: “…”

He turned his head and looked at Lin Qingqian with a helpless gaze. “When did I not feel well?”

Lin Qingqian did not expect Uncle to have such thoughts. She blinked innocently. “You do take medicine often.”

Jiang Yanshen glared at her without any lethality.

Lin Qingqian eagerly scalded his bowl and chopsticks with hot water and picked up some food for him. “Eat the vegetables. These vegetables are all planted by our family. They’re very sweet!”

Jiang Yanshen knew that she was trying to please him, so he didn’t say anything else and lowered his head to eat.

Lin Qingqian knew that he was a clean freak. He usually despised eating with Gu Xici and the others, let alone the villagers.

Therefore, before everyone picked up their chopsticks and chatted or drank, she secretly added all the dishes that were not spicy and placed them in his

bowl.

She turned her head and revealed a sweet smile. “These are very delicious.

Hurry up and eat..”
