She Is From The Countryside - Chapter 423
423 The zither player of the Jade eatery
Shi Yan had never seen this zither player from Jade eatery before, but she knew that she was a woman, about the same age as Jiang che.
Shi Yan had come to the Jade eatery many times, so this zither player’s status in the eatery was not low. Although she had never met him, Shi Yan had heard many people mention him.
she was said to be a great beauty with a good temperament.
!!
in the past, shi yan had not taken it seriously because, in her opinion, the zither player was just an employee hired by jiang che and would not have much interaction with them. in addition, she trusted jiang che and had no doubts about his feelings for her. thus, she had not paid much attention to this zither player.
until now, when he heard her playing the song composed by jiang che.
it was hard for shi yan not to mind.
But what was she doing?
don’t trust jiang che? or did he want to see jiang che so uneasy and flustered?
none of them.
She had never thought of it this way.
the orchid branch and the jade tree were gentle, reserved, and calm in the face of danger. they were not flustered or angry, and their dignity was not to be provoked. that was the fifth lord jiang. even in front of her, he should not have lowered his head.
if he had put down his pride and lowered his head, he wouldn’t be the fifth lord.
she didn’t want him to give up all his pride in front of her. he acted the way he was supposed to in front of her, just like how she would not put down her pride and grievance to accommodate him.
shi yan exhaled and hugged him.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing, Yingluo.”
He hugged her a little tighter before slowly releasing her. He looked at her and said, ” “Yanyan, if there’s anything you want to say, we can talk about it. There’s nothing that we can’t talk about. if there’s a problem, it has to be solved in time. otherwise, if it’s dragged on for too long, a small problem will become a big problem.”
He seemed to have regained his composure.
If one ignored the fact that his hands were still slightly trembling as he held her.
” we’re going to spend a lifetime together. a lifetime is a long time. no matter how good a relationship is, it’s inevitable that there will be some obstacles. what we need to do is not to keep quiet, but to say it and solve the problem together. ”
At first, he wasn’t sure if she had something on her mind because of him. After all, they were both very calm people. they had always been on good terms and had never had any disagreements.
He was only sure that it was because of him when she didn’t respond to his kiss at all.
She was angry with him.
with her personality, getting angry meant that the matter was very serious.
how could he not panic?
however, they had only not seen each other for half an hour, and she had not left the backyard of the jade food stall. he really had no idea what could have happened to make her so angry.
he looked at her and said in a serious tone,”miss shi, from the first time i saw you, you’ve become an indispensable part of my life in the future.” I’ve never thought about my future without you.”
He didn’t say love, but the words he said touched her heart more easily than love.
Thinking of how she had just ignored him angrily because the zither player had played his song, Shi Yan felt that she was a little pretentious.
“I’m very sorry.” Shi Yan hugged him tightly.
“did you hear the tune that the zither player of the jade food house just played? You played it when you were shooting a short film. You said you did it casually and didn’t play it in front of anyone.”
jiang che let go of her and leaned over to hug her. he looked down at her, ” “so, miss shi, you were angry because of this?”
“Are you jealous?”
“……”
“you still haven’t answered me. did you hear the tune the zither player just played?”
knowing that she was jealous, jiang che’s panic slowly dissipated. at the same time, he also felt a little happy.
he picked her up and sat her down on the chair. she was placed on his lap and in his arms. only when he hugged her like this did his heart feel at ease.
” i didn’t notice. i was talking to yu xi just now, and my attention was on you during the conversation. i was paying attention to where you were and what you were doing, and i didn’t have the extra time to care about anything else. ”
this was not a lie. jiang che and yuxi were discussing business in the office. the door was half open, and from where he was sitting, he could see shi yan sitting in the courtyard through the door.
However, he didn’t hear the sound of the piano. It was because the office’s soundproofing was good enough that he couldn’t hear it clearly even with the door half open.
“Miss Shi, you said that you heard the song. With your ability, I naturally believe that you didn’t hear it wrong, but I can guarantee you that the zither player knowing this song has nothing to do with me. as for where the zither player heard this song from, please wait a moment. i’ll have someone call her over to ask.”
“this is such a small matter. why are you so angry that you have to ignore me?”
Jiang che hugged her and lowered his head to kiss the corner of her lips. “miss shi, you’re scaring me.”
“I’m sorry.” Shi Yan raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck, kissing him.
Jiang che still remembered that he didn’t get a response from her when he kissed her, so he quickly turned the tables and deepened the simple kiss.
After the kiss ended, his heart finally calmed down.
He held her with one hand and held her face with the other, forcing her to look at him. “i don’t want to hear you apologize, and i don’t want you to apologize to me.”
Ms. Shi, I want you to promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you can’t treat me like this. If there’s anything wrong, tell me immediately. If you have any questions, ask me immediately. I’ll answer them for you. If I can’t, I’ll find out more before I answer you.
“I’ll break down if a situation like this happens again.”
Looking at Jiang che in this state, Shi Yan felt regret for the first time in her life. in the past, she would at most blame herself for what she had done, but she had never regretted it.
“Yes, I promise.”
” miss shi, you can’t just say this to make me happy. you have to do what you say. ”
“alright,” he said.
Jiang che hugged her tightly again and only let go after a long while. Shi Yan knew that he was frightened and did not struggle the entire time. She sat on his lap and leaned against his arms, allowing him to hug her.
as dusk fell, jiang che carried shi yan back to his lounge in jade restaurant.
“I’ll have someone call the zither player over.”
shi yan didn’t object.
just as jiang che had said, one should not avoid problems, but should solve them in time. she was also curious as to how the zither player knew about this song.
jiang che had no intention of putting her down. he carried her back to the lounge and did not put her down. after sitting down, he let her sit on his lap and hug her.
the zither player was brought over by hu yu.
“Fifth Lord, teacher Gu has arrived.”
The zither player was highly skilled in the zither and her surname was Gu. Everyone respected her and called her ” teacher Gu.
hu yu didn’t know why lord fifth suddenly called her to call the zither player over, but she had been working for lord fifth for many years and knew some things.
There were very few people and things that a person like fifth Lord could personally ask about. Once he did, it must be a big matter!
Other than a quick glance at the two people sitting together when he first entered the room, Hu Yu had his head lowered the entire time, his posture respectful. he stepped back a little and let the person behind him enter.
“teacher gu, please.”
Shi Yan looked up and saw the zither player Gu Qingqing walking in.
She had long hair and was very beautiful. Her long white dress accentuated her quiet and delicate temperament.
Her figure was delicate, and it was easy for her to arouse others ‘desire to protect her. however, there seemed to be an indescribable sense of determination in her bones. when people’s eyes fell on her, they would feel pity and a desire to protect her, but they also felt that she was not someone who needed other people’s pity.
she had her own pride.
they both had quiet personalities, but when gu qingqing and shi yan stood together, no one would think that their auras were similar.
She and Shi Yan were two completely different types of beauties.
shi yan’s figure was delicate, but not as fragile as gu qingqing’s.
shi yan was gentle, upright, and magnanimous. gu qing qing was like a weak willow, but she didn’t seem small-minded.
gu qingqing was stunned when she saw shi yan sitting on jiang che’s lap in his arms.
He retracted his gaze from Shi Yan’s face and looked at Jiang che. “fifth lord jiang, you were looking for me?”
She had called him fifth Lord Jiang, not fifth Lord.
it was clear that she was not jiang che’s subordinate, unlike hu yu and the others.
She was an external zither player at Jade Restaurant and was not a formal employee. She was also a zither player personally invited by Jiang che. Her relationship with Jiang che was only an employer-employee relationship and was indeed not a superior-subordinate relationship.
