Chapter 200: Director Jiang Is Playing with Fire

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

No matter how determined she was to stop loving Jiang Yanshen, as long as this man was willing to reveal his hidden scars, her heart would soften.

Tears rolled down her eyes drop by drop, shining with a broken light on her porcelain-white skin.

Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed the tears on her face. His low and hoarse voice repeated as he muttered patiently, “Qianqian, Qianqian…”

Her hands that hung by her sides slowly hugged his strong waist as she cried.

Jiang Yanshen hugged her tightly and kissed the side of her face lovingly.

It was like the demonic barrier of a fallen hell.

Lin Qingqian cried for half an hour until her eyes hurt and her voice was hoarse. When she came back to her senses, she was already by the bed and sitting in his arms.

Jiang Yanshen lifted her scattered hair with his fingertips and said hoarsely,

‘Qianqian, can you be with me?”

Lin Qingqian sniffed her red nose and looked at him with her watery eyes. She asked in a hoarse voice, “When… did you realize that you had… split personalities?”

She originally wanted to ask him what stimulation he had suffered, but she swallowed her words, afraid that she would touch the wound that he was unwilling to let others touch.

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes darkened slightly. He knew that she was deliberately avoiding answering, so he didn’t press on. “I can’t remember clearly. It’s when I was about nine or ten years old.”

Lin Qingqian’s eyelashes trembled slightly as she thought to herself, “So young?”

“Are you scared?”

Jiang Yanshen pursed his thin lips. “It was fine in the beginning, but towards the end, I became more and more afraid of being discovered. After all, he’s a fool.”

Lin Qingqian thought about how he had probably lived carefully every day all these years and was on tenterhooks. Her heart couldn’t help but ache again. “He… Why is his intelligence stuck at nine years old?”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his long eyelashes for a second to hide the flash of light. He said calmly, “I don’t know. Shen Zhiwei said that I might subconsciously want to keep a portion of my innocence.”

What could be more innocent than a child?

“Don’t say that.” Lin Qingqian pursed her lips. “You’re not a bad person.” Jiang Yanshen stared at her. “You don’t think I’m a bad person?”

Lin Qingqian nodded. “You just have a bad temper. Your personality is gloomy, and you have a desire to control others. You’re irritable and don’t understand relationships. Other than that, you don’t have any other shortcomings.”

Jiang Yanshen: ‘

How could this be called having no other shortcomings?

Jiang Yanshen held her hand and stared at her. He placed her hand by his mouth and pecked it gently as he said, “I’ll change. Can you come back?”

Lin Qingqian’s heart trembled under his burning gaze, as if there was a bolt of static electricity running through her. She quickly pulled her fingers out and looked elsewhere.

Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen was not in a hurry and waited patiently for her to speak.

Her white teeth bit her pink lips. After taking a few deep breaths, she said, “Jiang Yanshen, I’m no longer the Lin Qingqian of the past.”

Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows and did not reply, listening to her finish.

“My world no longer revolves around you.” Lin Qingqian looked up and met his gaze, her clear eyes shining with determination. “I have a passionate career and friends now. I can’t wait at home everyday for you to come back and take a look at me like before. Do you understand?”

To put it bluntly, Jiang Yanshen was no longer her top priority in life.

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes gradually darkened. Although he had long known that she was different from before, he was still a little disappointed when he heard this.

“In the past, you were very obedient. I was very satisfied, but the current you is also very good.” He abandoned the disappointment in his heart and looked at her with his eyes that were as hot as magma. “I like it very much.”

As long as she could return, it didn’t matter even if they couldn’t return to the conditions of the past.

Lin Qingqian was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect him to agree. She bit her lip. “Then… can you stop hiding anything from me?”

“Alright,” Jiang Yanshen agreed without hesitation. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. “I won’t hide anything from you anymore.”

Waves of warmth surged in Lin Qingqian’s heart, and her thin eyelashes slowly drooped.

This was the first time they had truly kissed.

Sweet, happy, and so soft that it was as if she was stepping on cotton.

As Jiang Yanshen kissed her, his fingertips climbed up her collar.

Lin Qingqian suddenly came back to her senses in her dizziness and held his hand tightly.

After the kiss stopped, Jiang Yanshen opened his eyes and saw the nervousness and uneasiness on her red face. He immediately understood what she meant and kissed her face gently. “I’ll take a shower. Go and pour me a glass of water.”

Lin Qingqian nodded with a red face.

Jiang Yanshen placed her on the bed and walked to the bathroom.

As soon as Jiang Yanshen’s clear breath left, Lin Qingqian took a few deep breaths and her originally dizzy mind instantly cleared up. She felt vexed. Why was she so bewitched by him again!

It was too late for regrets.

Lin Qingqian went downstairs to boil water. When the heat on her face subsided, she carried the cup upstairs.

Jiang Yanshen had already taken a shower and was sitting by the bed. As soon as he approached, she could feel the coldness on his body.

Lin Qingqian handed the cup to him and her brows moved slightly. “Why did you take a cold shower? What if you catch a cold?”

Jiang Yanshen took the cup with his cold fingertips and looked at her with burning eyes.

Lin Qingqian realized something and silently looked away.

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly as he drank the warm water unhurriedly. “It’s getting late. Accompany me to sleep for a while.”

Lin Qingqian looked at him again and then at the two-meter-long bed.

Jiang Yanshen held her wrist and muttered, “Just lie down for a while and don’t do anything, okay?”

Lin Qingqian turned off the lamp and lay down with him.

Only the sound of their breathing was left in the dark and quiet room.

Lin Qingqian’s mind was muddled and tired, but she didn’t feel sleepy at all after lying down.

Jiang Yanshen probably sensed it too. His long arm passed under her neck and he hugged her gently. He said in a low voice, “Go to sleep. You still have to work during the day.”

His warm breath entered her ears. Jiang Yanshen’s masculine aura enveloped her entire body and she couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Afraid of what he would do, Lin Qingqian closed her eyes tightly and forced herself to sleep.

Jiang Yanshen hugged her until he felt her entire body relax. Her breathing was even as he lowered his head and kissed her cheek.

He carefully pulled his arm out and got out of bed. He covered her with the blanket and walked out of the bedroom without moving.

The corridor was quiet. Jiang Yanshen’s tall body walked down the stairs slowly. His handsome features were calm, and he was no longer as tense and serious as before.

Seeing him go downstairs, Lu Yuan handed over his phone. “Director Jiang.”

Jiang Yanshen took the cell phone. “They went back?”

Lu Yuan: “Yes.”

“You should go back too, ” Jiang Yanshen said calmly. “Bring a set of women’s clothes over in the morning.”

Lu Yuan glanced upstairs and then at Director Jiang’s expression. Some guesses surged in his heart, but he didn’t dare to ask. After answering, he silently backed off.

Jiang Yanshen held his phone and hesitated for a moment before calling. The other party seemed to have expected him to call and quickly picked up.

“Was she suspicious?”

The woman’s clear voice on the other end of the line said, “Don’t worry, Director Jiang. She knows everything you want her to know. I didn’t say a word about what she shouldn’t know.”

Jiang Yanshen hummed softly. Just as he was about to hang up, the woman on the other end of the phone spoke again—

“Director Jiang, I have to remind you that I’m a psychiatrist, not your special assistant. Helping you woo women is not within my job scope. Also… you’re playing with fire!”

Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm and he didn’t even blink. “The fact that she can stabilize my emotions is also to help you reduce the workload.”

“Song Qin will transfer the money to you tomorrow.” With that, he hung up.

After standing downstairs for a few minutes, he turned around and returned to the bedroom. He carefully lay down and tried not to wake her up.

His long arms pulled her into his arms. In the dim light, he saw her sleeping soundly. No matter how firm his heart was, it would soften into a mess. He couldn’t help but kiss her cheek.

Perhaps it was a little ticklish, Lin Qingqian subconsciously lowered her head and burrowed into his arms like a cat.

In the darlmess, Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips slowly curled up.

At dawn, Lin Qingqian was woken up by the alarm on her phone. When she opened her eyes, Jiang Yanshen was no longer beside her.

There was a set of clean clothes on the bedside table, and on the top was a set of close-fitting clothes.

Her fair cheeks were stained with a thin layer of red. She stood up and walked into the bathroom with her clothes.

Ten minutes later, she went downstairs in a red dress.

Jiang Yanshen sat at the dining table with his Bluetooth earpiece on. From the corner of his eye, he saw a red figure and immediately hung up.

“You’re awake.”

Lin Qingqian nodded and walked to the dining table to sit down. Jiang Yanshen pushed the breakfast in front of her. “Lu Yuan bought it. Try it and see if you like it.”

Thinking of the last time he bought takeout and pretended to have made it himself, her red lips couldn’t help but curl into a faint smile.

Seeing her smile, a smile also appeared in Jiang Yanshen’s eyes. “Did you sleep well? If not, don’t go to the office today. Rest at home.”

“No need, my company is very busy!” Lin Qingqian replied.

Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Then after work, Lu Yuan will help you move.”

Lin Qingqian stopped eating her porridge and looked up at him. “Move?” Jiang Yanshen: “You’re moving in with me.”

“Jiang Yanshen…” Lin Qingqian put down the spoon in her hand and stared at him with her clear eyes. She said bluntly, “I won’t move in with you now.” Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite facial features slowly darkened. “Why?”

“We’ve just started to be together again. There’s no need to live together so quickly,” Lin Qingqian replied unhurriedly.

Jiang Yanshen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “We don’t have to sleep on the same bed. There are many rooms here. You can stay in whichever one you like.”

In the end, he added, “1 won’t touch you without your permission, okay?”

The last sentence was completely soft.

Lin Qingqian still insisted, “It has nothing to do with this.”

“Then why?” Jiang Yanshen’s eyes darkened slightly, and he stubbornly wanted to know the reason.

Lin Qingqian took a deep breath and couldn’t help but sigh.. “Jiang Yanshen, what’s the difference between the current you and before?”
