Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The hope in Lin Qingqian’s eyes was extinguished bit by bit. Her white teeth bit her red lips lightly, and her simple and elegant face was filled with unconcealable embarrassment.

She didn’t expect such a misunderstanding to happen!

Han Liubai looked at her with his gentle eyes. Afraid that she would not believe him, he added, “Director Lin, have you ever thought about why I would come to your studio if I’m really Master L?”

Lin Qingqian was stumped by his question.

That’s right. Why would Master L choose to come to her Shi Guang Studio?

“If I were Master L, and you saved me, I would have many ways to repay your kindness. There’s no need to be your employee!”

The more he spoke, the colder Lin Qingqian’s heart became. She realized how ridiculous and flattering her suspicions had been all along!

“I’m sorry to disturb you!” Lin Qingqian couldn’t sit still anymore. Her face was burning hot. When she got up, she saw the dress on the coffee table and said, “Since this dress is yours, it’s considered returning to its owner now.”

With that, she turned around and left without waiting for Han Liubai to send her off.

Her slender back was almost escaping in panic!

Han Liubai stood up and looked at her leaving. The smile in his eyes dissipated bit by bit and finally turned into a pool of silent stagnant water.

“Cough, cough…” He couldn’t help but lower his head and cough, his face turning even paler.

A slender figure slowly walked down from the second floor. Her gaze shifted from the door to Han Liubai and she walked over to put the coat on him.

“President Han, why didn’t you admit it directly? She really reveres you!”

Han Liubai stopped coughing and looked at her disdainfully. His voice was hoarse. “She looks up to that Master L, but I just want to be Xiao Bai, who can stay by her side at the same level as her.”

Xu Wanlan fell silent, an unknown emotion flashing across her eyes.

“Do you still remember your purpose in coming to Lan City?” The words were about to leave her mouth when she swallowed them.

Ever since Han Liubai started his business, she had followed him all the way. She Imew better than anyone how difficult it was for him. Now, he finally found a girl who could make him want to be an ordinary person…

She couldn’t bear to break his humble hope.

The air conditioner in the room was blasting, and the temperature was very low. Han Liubai gathered his clothes and said gently, “Help me prepare a gift to thank Su Ying.”

If not for her calling to inform him, his identity would probably have been exposed by Lin Qingqian.

Xu Wanlan nodded. ‘Yes.”

“She’s very smart and too meticulous. Don’t come over too often in the future. If there’s anything, just call.”

Xu Wanlan’s thin eyelashes lowered to hide the darkness in her eyes. She said,

“Alright.”

Su Ying sat in her seat and nibbled on her fingernails uneasily.

When she saw Lin Qingqian walking in dejectedly, she stood up and said, “Sister Qingqian…”

Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and glanced at her. She nodded without saying anything.

Su Ying followed behind her and asked carefully, “Sister Qingqian, are you

alright?”

“I’m fine. I want to be alone.” Lin Qingqian walked into the office and closed the door.

Su Ying stood at the door with a complicated and conflicted expression.

Rewinding time to the night she was dragged into the alley.

She was trembling with fear. When the hand on her mouth relaxed and she was about to scream, a familiar voice sounded in her ear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Designer Han?” Su Ying turned around and saw a familiar face. She was stunned.

Han Liubai’s lips moved. “I’m sorry, there are some things that I can’t say in the office or on the phone, but you’ve been avoiding me recently, so I can only do this.”

Su Ying’s heart skipped a beat, and her lips trembled slightly. “Designer Han, why are you looking for me…?”

Han Liubai looked at her gently. “You should have guessed my identity, right?” Su Ying looked at the handsome man in front of her and her heart ached.

“You’re really… Master L?!” Even though she already had the answer in her heart, she still couldn’t believe it.

Han Liubai didn’t deny it. The document she saw was already irrefutable evidence.

“Can I ask you something?” he asked.

Su Ying hesitated. “Go ahead.”

“Can I ask you to help me keep this secret and not tell anyone?” His eyes were even gentler than the moonlight. His slightly pale face looked sickly beautiful, making it difficult to refuse his request.

Su Ying’s heart was beating very quickly. Her emotions were leaning towards him, but there was still some rationality in her mind. “Why? Why did you come to our company?”

“What do you want to do to Sister Qingqian?”

Although she was not smart, she had been a celebrity’s assistant before. She Imew that there were many dirty things in the industry.

If a person hides their identity and stays by another person’s side, they must have a motive.

Sister Qingqian had done her a favor. She couldn’t let Sister Qingqian down!

Han Liubai’s eyes revealed a hint of approval as he said gently, “I’m sorry, I can’t tell you the reason, but I can guarantee that I won’t do anything to hurt Lin Qingqian. Is that okay?”

Su Ying blinked and said doubtfully, “Really?”

He nodded. “If I really wanted to hurt her, I wouldn’t have helped her block the acid.”

Su Ying thought about it and agreed. If not for him helping Sister Qingqian block that attack, Sister Qingqian would have been disfigured now.

It was also because of this that she didn’t tell Sister Qingqian the truth for a long time.

“Alright, I can choose not to tell Sister Qingqian.”

“Thank you.” He smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze. “Then can you stop avoiding me like before?”

Su Ying nodded hesitantly.

Han Liubai’s thin lips curled up slightly. “It’s getting late. I’ll send you to the entrance of the district.”

Her wandering thoughts were gradually pulled back. Su Ying faced Lin Qingqian’s office door and pursed her lips, saying silently, “I’m sorry, Sister Qingqian. ”

Jiang Chongjing found out about the amended contents of Old Madam Jiang’s will. When he found out that his name was not on the will, he was furious and smashed everything in the room.

The servants were all chased away by him. No one dared to come up, and he was not afraid of being overheard.

“That damn old woman would rather give her shares to an outsider than give them to me!”

Wu Suyun stood in a corner of the wall and didn’t dare to speak when she saw him furious.

“You want to pave the way for that little bastard Jiang Yanshen? Alright… I want to see who will have the last laugh!”

Jiang Chongjing took a few deep breaths and glared at the woman who had no presence. “Clean up the place.”

With that, he waved his hand and left.

Wu Suyun’s expression was calm as she squatted down to clear up the mess on the ground.

As soon as Jiang Yunshen returned, he saw the mess on the ground. He frowned and said in a complaining tone, ‘What’s wrong with Father again?”

Wu Suyun looked up at him and said in a gentle voice, “Yunshen, he’s your father. You can’t talk about him like that.”

Jiang Yunshen pursed his lips and pulled her up. “Mom, stop. I’ll get the servants to clean up later.”

Wu Suyun looked up at him, her eyes filled with love. “Yunshen has grown up and knows how to dote on people.”

Jiang Yunshen raised his chin. “I’ve already grown up long ago. You’re the ones who’ve always treated me like a child.”

Wu Suyun smiled, her smile filled with worry. “When can you be like Yanshen? Mom won’t have to be worried about you if you can be more like him.”

Jiang Yunshen frowned, his eyes filled with confusion. ‘Why do I have to be like

Big Brother? Isn’t it good for me to be like this?”

Before she could speak, he said, ‘What’s so good about Big Brother? He’s so busy all day. It’s so tiring. I don’t want to! I’m fine like this!”

Wu Suyun said helplessly, “Have you never thought of helping your brother share some of the burden? Or replacing your brother yourself?”

“Mom!” Jiang Yunshen’s expression changed slightly and he said unhappily, “Can you not be like Father! Big Brother is more capable than me. It’s enough for the Jiang Family’s Tianyue Group to have him. As for me—”

“I just want to be Second Young Master Jiang for the rest of my life. I can work in the company and accompany you when I’m free!”

Wu Suyun reached out and touched his face. “I know you’re a good child. Mom was just saying it casually! If you don’t want to, so be it. Your happiness is the most important.”

Jiang Yunshen held her arm and placed his head on her shoulder. “I knew Mom dotes on me the most. Mom, I haven’t eaten your food in a long time.”

Wu Suyun looked down at him with doting eyes. “Alright, I’ll make it for you tonight.”

“Thank you, Mom. I’ll go back to my room first!” Jiang Yunshen quickly kissed her cheek and turned to run.

Wu Suyun was stunned by him, and her eyes turned red.

Jiang Yunshen walked to the door and thought of something. He turned around and said, “You’re not allowed to clean up. I’ll call the servants to clean up…”

Wu Suyun nodded and watched him run out with a smile. The smile on her face darkened bit by bit.

She only wanted her son to be happy and peaceful for the rest of his life, but Jiang Chongjing…

It was dusk, and the traffic on the road was endless.

When Lin Qingqian walked out of the company, she saw a black Cayenne parked by the roadside. Lu Yuan stood at the door. “Miss Lin…”

It was obvious that Jiang Yanshen was in the car.

As soon as she got into the car, she was hugged by Jiang Yanshen. The faint smell of his cologne assaulted her nose.

It was clearly very cool in the car, but her face heated up. She whispered, “There’s other people watching.”

Before she could finish speaking, the partition in the middle slowly lowered.

Lin Qingqian: ‘

Jiang Yanshen smiled. “Now that no one is watching, can I kiss you?”

Before she could say anything, Jiang Yanshen had already kissed her lips. They hadn’t had time to be alone for the past two days, so their kiss was a little out of control. If not for the fact that they were in the car, Jiang Yanshen wouldn’t have been able to hold it in.

Lin Qingqian sat at the side and tidied her clothes. Her eyes were filled with coquettishness as her delicate lips pursed. ‘Why did you suddenly come to pick me up?”

“I want to see you.”

Jiang Yanshen’s straightforward expression made her heart burn. She looked at him sideways and the corners of her lips curled up. “I realize that you can say sweet nothings so easily now.”

Jiang Yanshen reached out to hug her and let her lean into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her hair. “Is it bad?”

“No.” Lin Qingqian’s bright eyes curved into crescents. “Does this count as me refining steel into something soft?”

Jiang Yanshen nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”

Lin Qingqian hugged his firm waist with both hands.. His smell surrounded her, and she couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What cologne did you use?”
