Chapter 257

Shu Qing lowered her head, hesitantly saying, “I just feel like I haven’t contributed anything to this family. It’s unfair to accept your kindness towards me…”

“Sister-in-law, you being willing to be with my brother, this big ice block, and preventing him from ending up lonely in his old age, is already the greatest contribution you’ve made to this family.” Lin Qianhuan said, somewhat amused. “Look at He Lu, Yi Hao, Wu Lin, and Cheng Mo. Aren’t all four of them like mascot ornaments, staying at home all day? Right now, there are no tasks, so everyone is just idle and spacing out. When there’s something you need to help with, you wouldn’t refuse me, would you?”

Shu Qing quickly shook her head, “How could I? I will definitely help you with all my strength.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled, “See? You’ll help me, you’ll be good to me, then I’ll naturally treat you sincerely. Everything is mutual, so how can there be any talk of owing?”

Shu Qing’s eyes felt a little sore, “Qianhuan… thank you for comforting me. I feel much better now.”

Lin Qianhuan reached out and tidied the stray hairs on Shu Qing’s forehead, “Sister-in-law, I’m not comforting you, I’m telling the truth. We’re family, so naturally we have to help each other and value each other. If we’re always calculating gains and losses, then this family will fall apart sooner or later.”

Turning her head to look at the wall clock, Lin Qianhuan got up and stretched. “It’s very late, Sister-in-law, you should hurry and wash up, I’m going back to my room to rest.”

Shu Qing nodded in agreement, and after the two said goodnight to each other, Lin Qianhuan opened the door and left.

Walking to the stairwell, she saw Lin Yixuan hidden in the shadows.

“How is she?”

Her older brother stepped out, his eyes containing a hint of worry.

Lin Qianhuan grinned, “Don’t worry, she’s been comforted. She’s my sister-in-law, there’s no way I’d let her be wronged.”

“That’s good. Her personality is already strong, yet she’s very sensitive. If it weren’t for you, it would be difficult for me too.” Lin Yixuan sighed, a smile appearing in his eyes.

“So, big brother, how do you want to thank me?”

“How do you want me to thank you?”

Lin Qianhuan smiled, “Of course, by making me a big meal. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Squirrel Mandarin Fish, Mock Crab, Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs…” She rattled off a long list of dishes, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

“No problem, big brother will make them all for you!” Lin Yixuan was overwhelmed, but he couldn’t go back on his word, so he had to agree.

“That’s great, hehehe.” Lin Qianhuan skipped back to her bedroom, groped her way to the bed, and was suddenly pulled into someone’s arms.

Smelling the faint scent of shower gel on the other person, she felt a little helpless. “Jiang Xing, why are you here?”

The lights suddenly turned on, and Jiang Xing, who was lying on the bed, was blinded by the light. He raised his arm to block the light. “Has Qianhuan forgotten what she promised me?” He said softly, then harrumphed in dissatisfaction. “I don’t know who said that they would take time to be with me after the mission was completed. Now, I’ve taken the initiative to come, but I’m being Dislike it.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and she leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. “Aiya, I don’t dislike you, I don’t dislike you. How could I dislike our Jiang Xing? I like you so much I don’t even have enough time.”

Hearing her say that, Jiang Xing’s mood softened, and he didn’t mind being pinned under her. He just reached out and pinched her slender waist. “Like me?”

“Mmm, like.”

“Then prove it to me, let me see how much you like me.” His amber eyes seemed even brighter under the light, but on closer inspection, they contained a dangerous glint.

Lin Qianhuan pulled him up from the bed, and the two sat facing each other, their eyes locked together. “Jiang Xing, you’re so hot.” She reached out and unbuttoned his shirt, her movements unhurried but meticulous. “You’ve recovered very well, the scars have disappeared.” Lin Qianhuan nodded in satisfaction, her fingertips lingering on his waist and abdomen, setting off raging fires wherever they touched, burning away Jiang Xing’s rationality inch by inch.

“Qianhuan, I’m having another episode.” His breathing suddenly became rapid, and even though he was in an air-conditioned room, his body temperature was rising.

Lin Qianhuan chuckled, “This isn’t an illness, it’s a normal physiological reaction. It’s normal to be intimate with someone you like.”

“So is Qianhuan uncomfortable too?” Jiang Xing frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lin Qianhuan scratched her head awkwardly, “I don’t feel anything.”

Hearing her say that, Jiang Xing first breathed a sigh of relief, then realized something, and turned his head to the side, refusing to look at her. “Qianhuan doesn’t react at all when she’s intimate with me. This proves that you don’t really like me, does it?” It was a question, but there was a hint of grievance and confusion in his voice.

Lin Qianhuan was even more embarrassed. She seemed to have dug a big hole for herself. How should she explain it to him? She wasn’t a doctor, and she felt awkward no matter what she said. “Um…” Lin Qianhuan hesitated, but swallowed the words back down. After hesitating for a moment, she completely lost her patience.

The lights suddenly went out, and a rustling sound filled the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qianhuan sat on the edge of the bed, letting Jiang Xing rub her sore and numb hands, his face red.

“Sigh, you can’t be too kind.”
