418 the role of a father

shi yan laughed.

He knew her well.

” it’s not that there’s a problem. i’m just more sensitive and always more vigilant about people and things. ”

at least from the three times she had met him, she could not see any problem with the ancient pond, and there was no guarantee that there would be a problem, because from the beginning, there was nothing wrong with the ancient pond’s performance.

Jiang che clasped her hand tightly, ” “it’s a good thing to be alert.”

He was not the one who had made her feel wary and guarded. From the moment they met until now, miss Shi had never taken any precautions against him.

“Fifth Lord, miss Shi Yan.”

Yun Jian smiled and walked towards them.

He should have come over a long time ago, but when Yun Jian saw the two of them talking to Gu Tan and the others, he thought they were some friends of Shi Yan, so he didn’t come over directly. He only came over after the two of them separated from Gu Tan and the others.

The two of them raised their heads at the same time to look at him.

Jiang che didn’t say anything. Shi Yan smiled and nodded.”Doctor Yun,”

Yun Jian had long been used to Jiang Che’s cold attitude towards others and was used to it. She didn’t mind at all and nodded in response to Shi Yan. She smiled and said, ” “So you guys are having a date here, what a coincidence.”

jiang che glanced at him indifferently.

She knew it was a date, but she still took the initiative to be a third wheel. She didn’t have any eyes.

shi yan wasn’t surprised that yun jian knew that they were on a date. when yun jian called jiang che to ask him out, she was right beside him.

“Why are you here?” Jiang Che’s temperament was gentle, but his tone was very light.

when yun jian heard this, she knew that he disliked her for being a third wheel.

“i’ll make it clear first, i didn’t come with you! I don’t like to be a third wheel. I chose this place to relax for two days.”

she became more serious. ” alright, let’s cut the crap. ah che, your second niece from the jiang family is sitting over there. you should have seen her, right? ”

he glanced at jiang shasha as he spoke.

“what are you trying to say?” jiang che glanced up.

“what else can i say? i’m just giving you a heads up. even though i didn’t know it was you guys, my instincts tell me that jiang shasha isn’t as innocent and harmless as she looks. i’m not worried about you. no matter how capable she is, she can’t do anything to you, fifth lord jiang. you have miss shi yan by your side, so it’s never wrong to be more vigilant.”

“Many thanks.”

“thank you for your concern, doctor yun.”

they actually spoke at the same time.

it wasn’t a big deal for shi yan to thank her, but when she heard jiang che thanking him in a serious manner, yun jian felt uncomfortable all over. she patted the goosebumps on her arms and said, ” “don’t, don’t, don’t. fifth lord jiang’s sincere thanks makes me very flustered.”

“Miss Shi Yan, you’re too kind. It’s nothing much.” He smiled at Shi Yan.

His attitude towards Jiang che and Shi Yan were completely different.

“How long do you guys plan to stay here?”

“i’ll be back tomorrow afternoon,” jiang che replied.

“I’m also planning to return tomorrow afternoon. Since we’ve met, let’s have lunch together tomorrow afternoon. I don’t think I’ve had a proper meal with miss Shi Yan yet.”

“It’s my negligence. Doctor Yun and third young master Yu are Jiang Che’s friends. I’ve wanted to treat you to a meal alone for a long time, but I haven’t found the opportunity. How about this, I’ll get Jiang che to give third young master Yu a call and we’ll go back to the city for dinner tomorrow.” Shi Yan said.

“Sure,” Yun Jian agreed.

he was not comfortable eating with them alone like a third wheel. it was good to call yuxi along so that they could talk about some serious matters.

ah che had reminded yu xi that the head of the gu family had come to haicheng. he had long found out from yu xi, but until now, he had not been able to find out the other party’s whereabouts. with yu xi and the gu family’s entanglement, this was not a small matter for the yu family.

In the closed banquet hall, the band’s performance was a little loud. To others, it might seem very lively, but

Yun Jian looked at the two people in front of her, who were quieter than the other, and said, ” “Even I find the music deafening. I thought you guys wouldn’t like it.”

” it’s not bad to come into contact with new things and have a new experience once in a while. ”

It was hard to say whether he liked it or not. He did not have a clear definition of his likes and dislikes. Or rather, he did not particularly like or hate things. However, if he was alone, without miss Shi’s company, he would not stay for long at such a noisy place.

yun jian understood when she saw the two of them exchanging looks of love.

Alright, when you’re with someone you like, you’ll like even things you don’t like. He understood.

However, this was the first time he was alone with the two of them. He only had one feeling-he was a little full! the fifth lord jiang was really a man who changed completely when he fell in love. he was showing off!

He didn’t say anything else and watched the performance quietly.

He didn’t leave until the banquet ended.

when yun jian was watching the performance, jiang che went from holding shi yan’s hand to hugging her waist, then to hugging shi yan from behind as if he had no bones. once the performance ended, he couldn’t stand it and slipped away.

After tonight, he was amazed at how Jiang che had become so uncaring about his image. He was exclaiming in his heart that this was not the fifth Lord Jiang He knew.

On the way back to the hotel, no one else came to make trouble for the two of them. Shi Yan thought that Gu Yuanyuan would come to make her presence known.

in fact, after gu yi brought gu yuanyuan back to her room to change her clothes, she did leave gu yi alone. he had sneaked out to settle the score with shi yan. however, the hot spring resort was too big and there were many guests. the hotel did not disclose the room details of the guests, so she could not find her.

However, just because no one came to cause trouble didn’t mean that they didn’t encounter other people.

On the way back to her room, Shi Yan saw a familiar figure standing under the street lamp not far away.

He stopped in his tracks.

this time, she saw the other party’s face clearly and had a brief eye contact with the other party!

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing that she had suddenly stopped, Jiang che followed her line of sight in puzzlement and saw Shi Lin, Shi Yan’s biological father, standing under a street lamp not far away!

He was alone.

Shi Yan didn’t expect that she would meet him in such a situation after nine years.

She stopped in her tracks, her body slightly stiff, and her face seemed to be a little tense. Jiang che even felt her grip on his hand tighten at that moment.

Instead, he held her hand in his palm and gently pinched her fingertips.

It was a silent comfort.

however, shi yan didn’t snap back to her senses immediately after he comforted her. the role of a father was always different from others.

shi yan could remember things early, starting from the age of two. she could remember almost everything that had happened at that time. She still remembered being hugged or carried by her father when she was two or three years old. She also remembered that every time her father went out, he would hug her or raise his hand to rub her head to say goodbye. Every time he went out, he would bring her a gift.

Of course, she still remembered that year when she was called home to be announced by the elders of her family. Her father had also sat there and expressed his approval. As he was already ten years old, he remembered it even more clearly.

for the past nine years, her mother would call her once or twice every year. she was no stranger to the role of a mother, but her father,

she had not seen him for nine whole years. in these nine years, she had not even heard his voice.

whose fault was it?

perhaps both were wrong.

in the past nine years, her father had never called her, and neither had she.

when it came to stubbornness or heart-to-heart, none of them would lose to the other.

her expression did not change much, only a little tense. but jiang che held her hand and no one knew better than him about the change in her mood.

“miss shi,” he called out softly, holding her hand tightly.

shi yan slowly came back to her senses and looked up at him. she seemed to be unable to hold back her emotions, and a trace of grievance and helplessness flashed in her eyes. it wasn’t obvious, but it was enough for jiang che to catch it.

if you don’t want to see me, then we won’t see each other for the time being. Let’s go back first, okay? ” His voice was very soft and gentle, as if he was afraid of startling her.

It had a soothing effect.

shi yan’s mood seemed to have calmed down.

“i’ll see you sooner or later. you go back first.”

Jiang che glanced at her, then at Shi Lin, who was still standing not far away and staring at Shi Yan. He leaned over and hugged Shi Yan. ” call me if there’s anything. also, come back early. ”

Shi Yan leaned against his words and replied in a low voice,”yes.”

only then did jiang che let her go. he nodded at shi lin and headed in the direction of the hotel.

Only Shi Yan and Shi Lin were left. Shi Yan wanted to walk toward Shi Lin, but she found that her feet were rooted to the ground and she couldn’t move.

In the end, it was Shi Lin who walked towards her.

“yanyan,”

His voice was calm and emotionless.

At first glance, it sounded like that.

if one were to listen carefully, one would be able to hear that his voice was trembling slightly.

Shi Yan’s hands clenched into fists and she smiled.”Daddy.”

this smile directly made shi lin stop in his tracks, his body seemed to sway. after a long time, he forced himself to say, ” “Yingluo, do you want to find a place to sit down?”

“alright,” he said.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a milk tea bar in the villa.

shi lin chose the location.

shi lin naturally didn’t like drinking milk tea. he thought that most eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls liked milk tea, and that shi yan would be more comfortable at the milk tea bar.
