back to the jiang family mansion

Besides, that was a long time ago.

when she moved back to her own yard from his yard, he would only sit by the bed, tell her stories, or accompany her when he coaxed her to sleep. they had never laid on the same bed again.

besides, they weren’t kids anymore. she was already 19 and he was already 24! what’s the point of lying together?

jiang cheng didn’t insist. he only said, ” you sleep. i’ll stay here and watch over you. ”

jiang rui was speechless.

he himself was so haggard, yet he was here to watch over her. how cruel must she be to close her eyes and sleep in peace?

she stared at him for a few seconds and compromised. ” forget it. come up and sleep. ”

They used to sleep on the same bed when they were young anyway.

jiang rui consoled herself.

Jiang Cheng usually didn’t reveal his emotions, but Jiang Rui still saw his eyes light up the moment she agreed.

He felt even more helpless.

Everyone said that the young master of the Jiang family was cold, quiet, and calm, but he didn’t look calm at all, just like a child.

Jiang Cheng walked to the other side, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

the two of them were lying so flat that jiang rui could see the person lying beside her with just a slight movement of her eyes.

He was someone she couldn’t be more familiar with. In the past, when they lay together like this, she always liked to burrow into his arms. Now, she actually felt a little uncomfortable even when they were lying on the same bed.

It was still different.

Jiang Rui felt a little uncomfortable and turned her back to him.

the next second, she felt something tighten around her waist.

the person behind her leaned over and hugged her.

Her back was pressed against his chest.

Jiang Rui’s body stiffened.

” jiang rui ‘er, ” he said from behind, ” you’re starting to resist me even when i hug you now? ”

he leaned his chin on the top of her head, his voice a little muffled, as if he was suppressing the pain in his heart.

jiang rui also felt bad.

she didn’t want to do this, but reality forced her to.

“we’re not kids anymore.”

She raised her hand to remove his hand from her waist.

The person behind her hugged her even tighter and said in a soft voice, ” ” jiang rui ‘er, i’m afraid you’ll run away while i’m asleep. i can’t sleep at ease if i don’t hug you like this. ”

Jiang Rui’s hand that was holding his wrist paused.

She couldn’t bear it anymore.

Forget it, just this once.

Jiang Rui comforted herself in her heart.

he retracted his hand.

“Go to sleep.”

Jiang Rui didn’t see that when Jiang Cheng saw her compromise again, he heaved a sigh of relief and his lips curved up slightly.

He was the one who had raised her, so he knew her personality the best.

And with so many years of his intentional intimacy as the foundation, she would not reject his intimacy. As long as he softened his stance, she would feel sorry for him and would not be able to bear to reject him.

On the other side, Shi Yan and Jiang che went downstairs and got into Jiang Che’s car.

jiang lin was driving.

The two of them sat in the back.

No one knew what Jiang Lin was thinking. After politely greeting Shi Yan, he raised the partition in the car. In this way, only Shi Yan and Jiang che were left in the confined space.

shi yan was sitting upright. jiang che had placed her school bag beside her instead of between them, so they were sitting very close to each other.

“miss shi, are you sleepy?” Jiang che suddenly asked her.

“It’s alright, I’m not very sleepy.” She didn’t have the habit of sleeping early in the morning, so even though she had stayed up all night, she wasn’t very tired at this time.

“since you’re not that sleepy, shouldn’t you do something, miss shi?”

Shi Yan looked up and met his gaze.

“what do you want?”

However, she saw his gentle and calm gaze slowly move down from her face to her lips. “Miss Shi, my anger has not completely subsided.”

Shi Yan,”Yingluo.”

she stared at him for a few seconds and then looked at the raised partition in front of her. shi yan lowered her voice and said in a complicated tone,”Mr. Jiang, there are other people in the car.”

He held her hand that was on her leg and leaned over. “It doesn’t matter, he can’t see it.”

He closed in on her and forced her into a corner, but Jiang che didn’t take any further action. He just stopped a few centimeters away from her lips.

Their breathing interweaved.

miss Shi, you can brush your teeth now. You don’t have to worry about anything.

shi yan was speechless.

Was he reminding her that she had only kissed him lightly in the bathroom because she had not brushed her teeth? But what was the difference? Didn’t he kiss her back after that?

shi yan’s eyelashes fluttered as she looked up to meet his beautiful peach-shaped eyes.”Teacher Jiang, you sure have a big temper.”

She had actually felt that there was something wrong with the way he looked at her during breakfast. If they were not at someone else’s house and Jiang Rui was not there, he would have kissed her.

he had restrained himself until now, so there was no harm in giving him some rewards.

However, she didn’t really believe him when he said that his anger hadn’t subsided.

even if he was still angry, he should have calmed down in the bathroom.

The hand that was not held by him slid up his shoulder and hugged the back of his neck.

she lifted her head and pressed her lips against his.

Jiang che didn’t move and allowed her to kiss him, but his eyes grew deeper.

He was so quiet that Shi Yan was still a little uncomfortable. She slightly opened her eyes on the hood and suddenly met his faint gaze.

shi yan paused.

When she opened her eyes, he raised his hand to cover them.

she stopped, but he didn’t turn the tables. their lips just touched for a moment, and he retreated.

the hand that was covering her eyes did not move away. he just held her and leaned on his shoulder. ” miss shi, you didn’t have a good rest all night. take a nap first. i’ll wake you up when we arrive. ”

His voice didn’t sound any different from usual.

shi yan’s eyelashes fluttered a few times in his palm, then she slowly closed her eyes.

it was said that jiang che was a man who valued that aspect, but he was very restrained. he could restrain himself every time. Although he was not a serious person, he was a little more aggressive than his usual gentle and reserved self.

when she closed her eyes, the hand that was covering her eyes was removed.

shi yan wasn’t too sleepy at first, but as soon as he closed his eyes, his unique cool aura enveloped the surroundings. his mind calmed down and he soon felt drowsy.

shi yan didn’t know when she had fallen asleep. when she woke up, the car was already parked outside the gate of bamboo garden.

jiang che got out of the car first and was about to bend down to carry her, but she woke up the moment he touched her.

Their eyes met.

Jiang Che’s outstretched hand did not withdraw. It passed through her back and continued to hug her.

“I’m sorry to have woken you up.” His voice was gentle, his face was clear and his expression was warm. He was also reserved and elegant, like a Jade Tree.

His expression and actions were so natural that Shi Yan couldn’t help but swallow back the words she wanted to refuse him to carry her out of the car.

“it’s fine.” she said.

It was also during her hesitation that he carried her out of the car and took her bag from the car.

shi yan subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.

He carried her and walked into the bamboo garden.
