[R18] Lianqing(NP) – “Lian Qing (NP)” Chapter 228 [English]

Chapter 225 Call

After living at home for a few days, Ji Qing’s mood became much calmer. She called Zhou Jianshen and Jiang Dongxian respectively and asked them to come out for a meal and she treated them.

The last time these people got together was when Ji Qing had just returned to China. Compared with last time, the meal this time was unusually silent.

After eating, the four of them went to the lounge to sit and chat. The large floor-to-ceiling windows were filled with greenery, and the dazzling sunlight shone down, forming mottled tree shadows on the ground.

After a period of silence, Jiang Dongyue spoke first.

“Qingqing, it’s good to be back. I’ll take you out to play another day.”

Ji Qing tried his best to smile.

“Okay.”

After saying this, there was silence again. Ji Qing looked at Zhou Jianshen and Jiang Dongxian, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.

——Her menstrual period has arrived.

“Brother Shen and Brother Dongxian, I’ll go to the bathroom and you guys can talk first.”

Both of them nodded. Ji Qing got up and left the lounge to go to the bathroom to wash her face and put on some lipstick.

After a while, she opened the bathroom door and came out. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Dongxian standing at the end of the corridor looking at her.

Five minutes later, another lounge.

Ji Qing and Jiang Dongxian stood together in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Jiang Dongxian stood upright with his hands in his pockets. Ji Qing looked up at He, then suddenly reached out and straightened He’s collar.

“The collar is messed up.”

Ji Qing spoke carefully, and when his fingertips passed by, Jiang Dongxian couldn’t help but feel his throat twitch.

“Yeah.”

After saying that, he looked down at Ji Qing’s hand and slowly covered it with his own hand.

He’s palms were warm, and Ji Qing’s fingers were soft. He slowly pulled her over, and the two naturally hugged each other.

Ji Qing hugged his strong waist and rubbed his chest again, while Jiang Dongxian stroked her hair.

“Is it fun to go abroad?”

Jiang Dongxian’s deep voice vibrated in his chest, and Ji Qing hugged him tighter.

“Yeah.”

“Be safe when you come back.”

“Yeah.”

Ji Qing answered obediently, and Jiang Dongxian breathed a sigh of relief, then held her face and kissed her slowly.

The hot and moist lips were entangled together. Jiang Dongxian stuck his tongue into her mouth and stirred it. Ji Qing’s breathing soon became heavy.

The two kissed deeper and deeper. Jiang Dongxian’s big hands eagerly reached into her clothes and caressed her waist. After a long time, he slowly let go of her lips and ended the kiss.

“Qingqing……”

Jiang Dongxian stroked her cheek slowly and forcefully, his words were low and tired.

“Brother Dongxian, what’s wrong?”

Ji Qing felt he’s suppressed questioning, Jiang Dongxian hugged her tighter and slowly shook his head.

“It’s okay.”

Ji Qing didn’t know about the Chen family’s intention to marry, so she didn’t think much about it and just assumed that Jiang Dongxian was still worried about her.

“Brother Dongxian, I’m fine.”

Jiang Dongxian nodded, and suddenly Ji Qing snorted and frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay, that…that one is here.”

There was a slight smile on Ji Qing’s lips. Jiang Dongxian felt relieved and couldn’t help but smile tenderly.

He hugged Ji Qing into his arms, and the two hugged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time before leaving.

At 8 o’clock in the evening, Jiang Dongxian stood alone in front of the French window of the study with his hands behind his back, thinking about the conversation with Ji Tingqin that night.

In fact, the Chen family was not radical at all. Chen Lihua only asked him to take care of Chen Shuyan that day. When Chen Shuyan came to he, he only came to greet him symbolically on his first day in office.

The reason is unknown. Chen Lihua is a very cautious person. He had taken a liking to him as early as when Jiang Dongxian was studying. It has been more than ten years since he saw him. When he and Ruan Qiao were still together, Chen Lihua didn’t show any interest in him.

Now that Chen Shuyan is old enough, Chen Lihua has seen it through, so he just mentioned this matter in a vague way.

He can even imagine what the Chen family will say then.

Chen Lihua will come to Jiang’s house in person, and Jiang Lianming will greet him with surprise, and his expression will be as kind as before.

“Deputy Director Jiang, my Shuyan is older now. I think Dongxian is fine, but what do you think?”

Inquiring tone, but Jiang Lianming would not refuse.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongxian’s heart tightened. If he could confirm his relationship with Ji Qing earlier, if he had a child…

children…

As soon as this word came out, Jiang Dongxian felt more depressed and uncomfortable. He squeezed his hands tightly, and Zhang Jizong’s face appeared in his mind.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, which brought him back from his thoughts.

“Come in.”

The door opened in response, it was Jiang Dongyue.

“Brother.”

He walked to the sofa and sat down. Jiang Dongxian also suppressed his discomfort and walked to sit opposite him.

“Do you have a problem with me?”

Jiang Dongyue nodded.

“Brother, just tell me the truth. What should Qingqing do about this matter? That Zhang Jizong is out now. I can’t sleep even thinking about it.”

Jiang Dongxian knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he breathed a sigh of relief, then clasped his hands together and began to slowly narrate.

At the same time, Ji Qing was sitting in Zhou Jianshen’s car with his head down.

The two of them were silent. Suddenly, Ji Qing felt a shadow fall in front of his eyes. It was Zhou Jianshen who took her arm and turned her over to straddle his lap.

The closeness of the body eased the silent atmosphere. Zhou Jianshen reached out and brushed the broken hair around her ears. He knew that it was he who was forcing her to become anxious.

“Have a good rest when you’re back. If you need anything, call me.”

Ji Qing nodded and pointed in the direction of the Ji family’s main building, where the lights were already on.

Zhou Jianshen looked in the direction she pointed and patted her waist again.

“Well, let’s go back.”

Ji Qing nodded, then got off he and opened the car door.

Then she stood still at the door and waved to Zhou Jianshen, who couldn’t help but smile when he looked at her petite figure.

The car turned around and left, and Ji Qing also turned around, opened the door and walked inside.

When she was about to reach the door of the main building, her cell phone began to buzz and vibrate. She stopped and took it out to take a look. There were three big characters on the caller ID.

——Zhang Jizong.

There was no surprise on Ji Qing’s face. She looked at the phone for a long time, and then pressed the answer button with a sigh of relief.

At this time, Zhang Jizong was holding a printed photo and looking through it. When he heard the breathing over there, he smiled and spoke.

“Ji Qing, long time no see.”
