She Is From The Countryside

505 An uninvited guest

a ring was lying in the box.

it wasn’t a complicated design. it was very simple and bold, and it was the style she liked.

Jiang che had actually secretly prepared a ring.

Before she could take out the ring, someone approached her from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist, his chin resting on her shoulder.

“The preparations were done in a hurry, so it was a little simple.”

“i like her.”

“when did you prepare this?” she asked with a smile.

“i wanted to give you a surprise, but i couldn’t prepare it myself, so i got someone to send it over.”

Shi Yan turned around to face him and stretched out her left hand.”Help me put it on.”

“alright,” he said. Jiang che picked up her hand, took out the ring, and helped her put it on. He even kissed her fingertip.

it gave off a feeling of cherishfulness.

shi yan couldn’t help but tip-toe and kiss him on the lips.

A touch and then a separation.

actually, I’ve also prepared a gift for you. A New Year’s gift. she said.

“Oh? when did you prepare this?”

” before i left sea city base, i thought that i wouldn’t leave this place. the conditions here are limited, and it’s hard to buy a gift that i like. so, i prepared it and brought it here. ”

“You’ve already prepared for this?”

“It wasn’t that early. It wasn’t long before the new year. Wait a moment, I’ll go get it. ”

jiang che let go of her and looked at her with one hand in his pocket and his back against the desk.

he saw her walk to the bookshelf and open a small hidden cabinet. she took out two notebooks from inside and then a box.

“you hid it so well?” no wonder he didn’t notice it at all these days.

shi yan looked back and smiled at him.

It was a very light and gentle smile, and it was even a little sweet. It immediately melted Jiang Che’s heart. He had to restrain himself to remain standing in the same place and not walk towards her immediately.

“open it and take a look.”

shi yan handed the box to him.

the box wasn’t big, but it was exquisite.

Jiang che couldn’t guess what was inside.

Jiang Che’s smile widened when he opened it and saw the things inside.

it wasn’t anything special, just cufflinks. it was a complete set of six pairs in all. the colors were different, and the workmanship was fine and the style was exquisite.

The gift wasn’t special, but it obviously took a lot of effort to buy it.

“Why did you think of giving me this?”

“you like to wear shirts? although you don’t lack cufflinks, i didn’t buy them. he had wanted to buy it for a long time, but he had not found a suitable one. When I was preparing a New Year present for you, I happened to see it and thought it was good, so I bought it. ”

“i hope you like it.”

“i like it very much.” Jiang Che’s gaze moved away from his cufflinks and met her eyes, speaking very seriously.

“ms. shi, you prepared a new year’s gift for me so early, but i didn’t prepare one for you. it’s my negligence.”

shi yan raised her hand to show him the ring on her finger.”isn’t this one? And flowers.”

“This is not a New Year’s gift.”

“It can also be a New Year’s gift.”

“using two things at the same time doesn’t seem very sincere.”

shi yan felt helpless that he was still so serious.

“alright, why are you still fussing over such things between us? don’t you have enough gifts for me? you’re just not as high-profile as me when it comes to giving a gift.”

he would bring things back for her from time to time, but he would not give them to her personally. he would either put them on her desk or on her dressing table.

Most of them were placed on the dressing table.

it’s not considered a gift if it’s not personally handed over?

But there was no such thing.

” it’s still different. a gift during the new year is a new year’s gift. ”

shi yan was about to persuade him not to take it to heart when he took a step forward and pulled her into his arms with a smile in his eyes.”how about this, i’ll give myself to you as a new year’s gift. Fifth Lord Jiang is definitely one of a kind as a gift for you.”

shi yan,”yingluo.”

fifth lord jiang, you’ve lost your moral integrity!

Jiang che didn’t give her a chance to speak at all. He held her waist with one hand and carried her to sit on the desk. He looked up and kissed her.

......

*

The second day of the new year soon arrived.

shi bozhen and ju yanya would come over today. shi yan and the other two didn’t go out that day, waiting in the small courtyard.

Unfortunately, Shi Bozhen wasn’t the first to arrive, but an uninvited guest.

to be more precise, they were two uninvited guests.

two women, one old and one young.

Shi Yan was the one who opened the door.

shi yan recognized the young man. he was the second young lady of the jiang family, jiang shasha. Shi Yan had never seen the old man before. He was about 70 years old, but he looked like an elegant old man.

“miss shi yan, i’m sorry for visiting you without informing you.” Jiang Shasha was the first to speak. She wasn’t arrogant and was very polite.

” second young miss jiang, why are you here at this time? what’s the matter? ”

shi yan glanced at the old man that jiang shasha was supporting but didn’t pay much attention to her, as if she was just an insignificant person not worth paying attention to.

This caused white Snow’s expression to become a bit ugly.

Shi Yan still didn’t look at her.

“I’m here to visit miss Shi Yan on the second day of the new year. this is a new year’s gift, and it’s not anything valuable. i hope miss shi yan doesn’t mind.”

shi yan glanced at the gift she handed over, but she didn’t take it.

my relationship with the Jiang family’s second young mistress doesn’t seem to be so good that we need to pay each other New Year’s greetings.

before jiang shasha could reply, shi yan continued, ” “however, second young lady jiang came all the way here and personally came to visit, so there is no reason to refuse you. however, this isn’t my home. i’m only a guest here.”

it’s not very appropriate to entertain guests in someone else’s house, so I’m sorry, but it’s not a good time for me to accept this New Year gift from the Jiang family’s second young mistress.

“this isn’t your home?” white snow, who had been ignored the entire time, sneered, ” this isn’t your home. how do you think we found you? There’s a guest at your door, but not only are you not letting him in, you’re also full of lies. You really have no upbringing at all!”

White snow thought that her words would at least make Shi Yan’s expression change. That way, she would be able to find Shi Yan’s faults. However, she stared at Shi Yan for a long time and did not see any change in Shi Yan’s expression.

he was still as calm as ever.

he looked at her indifferently and said in a calm tone, ” “this old furen is really well-educated to come to other people’s door to scold on the second day of the new year. Old Madam, if I remember correctly, we should not know each other, right?”

” let’s not talk about whether i’m well-educated or not. it’s only our first meeting, and you’re already calling me uncultured. this is not something a well-mannered person would do. ”

White snow slammed her walking stick on the ground and said,”you really have no manners, talking to your elders like that!”

“elder? Old Madam, this is the first time we’ve met, and you’re just a stranger to me. Where did you get the idea of being an elder?”

“you don’t know who i am? stop putting on an act!”

Just a moment ago, he thought she was an elegant old man.

it was hard to imagine that she was actually the biological mother of the fifth lord jiang, who was as cool as the wind and bright moon.

” forgive me for my poor eyesight, but i really don’t know who the old madam is. could it be that the old madam is some big shot, the kind of celebrity that can be seen everywhere on the news? ”

“Looking at the old Madam’s reaction, did I say something wrong? aren’t you a celebrity like that? then it’s normal that i don’t know who you are, right?”
