529 A late-night call

At night, in the hotel.

after washing up and changing into his sleeping robe, jiang che sat on the sofa and opened his laptop. he placed it on his lap and dealt with some temporary work. shi yan made him a cup of tea.

jiang xi thanked him and took a sip. shi yan sat down quietly beside him.

He picked up a book and opened it.

time passed by slowly in such a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

Suddenly, Shi Yan’s mobile phone, which was placed aside, vibrated. Shi Yan picked up her phone and went to see Jiang che first. Seeing that he was not disturbed, she opened her phone to read the message.

it was a video from an unknown source.

But as soon as she saw the video, Shi Yan knew who had sent it.

she didn’t start the video immediately. she put down the book, stood up, and walked to the window. she put on her earphones before she started the video call.

it was an apology video recorded by bai xue.

It wasn’t long, not even a minute.

she apologized for her rudeness and hoped that shi yan would not take it to heart.

White Snow’s unwillingness and anger could be clearly felt through the screen.

Before receiving the video, she thought that she would be happy to receive an apology from Bai Xue. However, after receiving it, she realized that she was not happy.

Or rather, he could not be happy at all.

Shi Yan shifted her gaze from the video to Jiang che, who was sitting on the sofa not far away and focused on his work. She felt very upset.

Fifth Lord Jiang, a gentle man who was worthy of all the good in the world, had such a pair of parents.

he was probably the most miserable old man in the world.

he kept his phone.

Shi Yan did not intend to show this video to Jiang che.

She walked over and hugged him from behind.

with one hand still on the keyboard, jiang che raised his other hand and placed it on the back of her hand that was wrapped around his neck. he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb and turned around, asking gently, ” “what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I’m just a little sleepy.” She rubbed her chin against his neck.

It was almost 11 O ‘clock. Under normal circumstances, her work and rest were very regular, so it was normal for her to be sleepy at this time.

It was mainly because her voice was a little muffled. To Jiang che, it did sound like she was sleepy.

He held her hand and kissed it. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. Don’t wait for me.”

Shi Yan hugged him and did not let go. She rubbed her head against his neck and said in a coquettish manner,”No, I’ll wait for you.”

jiang che knew her well enough.

He had thought that she was sleepy, but now that he saw it, she was affected by some message.

she wasn’t the clingy type and liked to handle things on her own. if it was her own problem, she would try not to show it in order not to affect him. she would never stick to him and act coquettishly like she was now.

Then it must be something related to him.

He could roughly guess what it was from her reaction.

However, since she didn’t want to say it, he didn’t plan to ask too much, in case she worried him more.

“Then sit beside me and Lean on Me to sleep. I’ll carry you over after I’m done.”

Shi Yan lowered her head and kissed him on the cheek. She listened to him and sat down beside him, leaning on his shoulder.

She didn’t sleep and just leaned on him to watch him work.

after a while, seeing that she still had no intention of sleeping, jiang che stopped and asked gently, ” “Didn’t you say you were sleepy? Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I’m not sleepy anymore.” She said it with confidence.

jiang che smiled helplessly.

He let her be.

another ten minutes passed, and jiang che’s phone on the table suddenly rang.

jiang che was a little surprised that someone would call him at this hour.

usually, very few people would dare to call him directly, let alone call him so late at night.

The two of them looked at the ringing phone at the same time. It was an unknown number, at least to Shi Yan.

There was no note.

However, Jiang che clearly knew who the owner of this number was. The moment he saw the number, his fingers on the keyboard paused.

It was a short moment, but Shi Yan still saw it. Just as she was about to ask him if he wanted to pick it up, Jiang che said, ” “miss shi, help me answer it. i can’t be empty-handed.”

shi yan glanced at him, took his cell phone, and answered the call.

“Ah che.” a man’s voice came from the phone.

her tone was light but serious.

it was a little complicated.

“yes.” Jiang che responded faintly, his emotions unreadable.

“I hope I didn’t disturb your rest by calling you so late?”

Jiang che didn’t answer his question. He only asked emotionlessly, ” “Is there something?”

it’s nothing urgent. I just thought I’d chat with you since I haven’t been in contact with you for a long time.

jiang che didn’t say anything.

” alright, yingluo, you’re not the type to gossip. i’m just looking for trouble by talking to you. i just wanted to ask how you’ve been recently. ”

Jiang che didn’t say anything, but he followed up with, ” “it’s too late to ask now.”

He seemed to be laughing at himself.

“i used to think that you’re omnipotent, and i’m a hedonist who doesn’t do proper work. all i think about all day is how to play for a sense of novelty. I’ve never asked or cared about your matters, until three years ago when you almost died.”

he suddenly stopped.

he was silent, as if he was taking a deep puff of his cigarette, before saying, ” ” ah che, as an older brother who’s about 15 years older than you, i’ve neglected my duty. i didn’t have the face to contact you for the past three years. ”

upon hearing this, shi yan could roughly guess the other party’s identity.

the yun family’s second master, yun qing, was jiang che’s second brother from the same mother.

She heard that he was a typical rich second generation. When he was young, he was very wild and did not care about men and women, only seeking excitement. She didn’t restrain herself even after she got married and didn’t have any children after ten years of marriage. It was said that his wife and he had a marriage alliance, so they were the same kind of people. They usually played on their own.

She had thought that he was a very unruly person, but tonight’s phone call made Shi Yan change her opinion of him.

“i’m fine. thank you for your concern.”

jiang che was very calm.

But when Shi Yan saw her hand on the keyboard, her right hand’s fingers tightened.

this was a very subconscious action.

Perhaps he didn’t even realize it himself.

“you don’t have to be responsible for my life, so you don’t have to be like this.”

you’re so silly. Yunqing sighed. in your heart, I’ve long been unworthy of being your brother.

“forget it. if it were me, i would be even more disheartened than you.”

” let’s not talk about this. ah che, i heard that you recently got a girlfriend? ”

“Yes.” at the mention of shi yan, jiang che’s clenched fingers slowly loosened and he continued to type on the keyboard.

“When are you going to bring her back for me and your second sister-in-law to see Yingluo? I heard that she’s still a university student and a very obedient girl. Our behavior is publicly known to be bad, so we better not lead such a good girl astray.”

” but to be honest, i really want to see what the girl who can win your heart is like. ” Yunqing smiled, ” I once thought that you would never like anyone in your life.

“She is indeed a very good girl.”

yunqing was surprised.

Ah che was actually willing to tell him all this!

before he could come back to his senses, jiang che continued, ” “she’s fine,”

Yunqing opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

After a long while, he took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile, ” “now that you’ve said that, i’m even more curious about her. i really want to meet her.”

It seemed like ah che cared about that girl far more than he had thought.
