A Beloved Wife in Marriage

“Are you still afraid that Lu Yuan won’t be able to hold me steady?” His low and hoarse voice was filled with doting and teasing.

Lin Qingqian looked at Lu Yuan and said worriedly, “Then be careful. If you can’t hold him, I can help.”

Lu Yuan’s back stiffened and he immediately felt a huge pressure. “I, I’ll be careful.”

According to the experience he had summarized over the past year, Lu Yuan had already fully understood that it was fine if he provoked Director Jiang, but if he provoked Young Madam…

Just look at Song Qin.

Although he did not know how Song Qin had offended Madam!

Far away at the Lan City airport, Song Qin, who was about to board the plane and return to her hometown for the new year, couldn’t help but sneeze.

Because Jiang Yanshen’s legs were weak, they walked extremely slowly and took more than an hour to return to the village.

She used the hot water on the stove beside her to soak his feet.

Jiang Yanshen sat on the bed as Lin Qingqian walked in with half a bucket of water.

“Madam, you can just call me over for this kind of thing.” Lu Yuan immediately took it and placed the foot-soaking bucket in front of Director Jiang. He said perceptively, “I’ll go out first. Call me if you need anything.”

Lin Qingqian nodded and had already squatted down to help Jiang Yanshen take off his shoes.

Jiang Yanshen pulled her arm and said in a low voice, “I’ll do it myself.”

“Don’t pretend. Didn’t you always ask me to dry your hair for you in the past? Are you embarrassed that I’m only bringing you water to soak your feet today?” Lin Qingqian said indifferently. Her slender hand grabbed his foot and she neatly took off his leather shoes.

Jiang Yanshen could not dissuade her, so he could only let her be. His black eyes stared at her brightly.

His shoes were wet, and his socks were drenched. Lin Qingqian’s palm was pressed against his leg, but she could not feel any warmth. Her heart ached so much that she frowned.

The foot bucket was a little high and could soak his calves. Lin Qingqian wanted to roll up his pants, only to realize that his pants were also drenched, and..

He was only wearing this pair of pants and not even thermal pants underneath.

“You’re not wearing long johns and you’ve been kneeling in the snow for so long. Do you want to become a cripple?” Lin Qingqian raised her head angrily and scolded him fiercely.

Jiang Yanshen was stunned by her sudden fierce expression. Then, his eyes avoided hers as he coughed lightly and said, “I’m not cold.”

“Your legs are already frozen, aren’t you cold?” Lin Qingqian slapped his calf angrily.

Water splashed everywhere. The warm water slowly restored the feeling and warmth in his legs, and his heart was wrapped in a warm current.

He bent down and grabbed her hand. “Qianqian?”

Lin Qingqian’s tone was very fierce. “What?”

“Don’t be angry. Get me the long johns. I’ll put them on later, okay?” His low and hoarse voice was filled with coaxing as his thumb rubbed her wet hand carefully.

Lin Qingqian glared at him and flung his hand away. “Soak it yourself. I’ll go get you some long johns.”

Jiang Yanshen knew that she was not angry anymore. He soaked his feet like an obedient child and watched her leave with a smile.

As soon as Lin Qingqian came out of the tent, she saw Lin Chaoyan walking over with a few old clothes in her hand.

“Auntie…” Her eyes lit up and warmth surged in her heart. She knew that Auntie had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Lin Chaoyan said expressionlessly, “I’ll talk to him for a while. Find a place to stay.”

When Lin Qingqian heard this, she looked a little nervous. “Auntie, his legs are so cold that he can’t feel them anymore. His knees are all bruised.”

That person’s self-esteem was still strong. He did not let her help him up or let Lu Yuan carry him. He’d gritted his teeth and walked down by himself. He couldn’t take any more torture in this state.

Lin Chaoyan glared at her in exasperation. “You good-for-nothing!”

“Auntie, I’ve already remarried him. If you really anger him, I’ll be the unlucky one!” Lin Qingqian said seriously, “What if he takes revenge on me when we go back?”

“He dares!” Lin Chaoyan raised her chin and said fiercely, “If he dares to bully you again, I’ll chop him up even if it costs me my life!”

Lin Qingqian suppressed the smile on her lips and hugged her arm, saying coquettishly, “I knew that Auntie dotes on me the most.”

Lin Chaoyan poked her head with her index finger and pretended to be disdainful. “Damn girl, you only know how to make me worry. I’ll be angered to death by you sooner or later!”

“How can that be? My Auntie is a flower of Yu Mountain. You’ll always be young and beautiful like Fairy Goddess.”

The Fairy Goddess was a local god of the Yu Mountain.

Lin Chaoyan was a little embarrassed and spat. “Get lost… You’re talking nonsense.”

Upon receiving the order, Lin Qingqian quickly found a cool place to stay.

Lin Chaoyan looked at her back with loving eyes and shook her head helplessly… She didn’t know what kind of bewitching potion that Jiang guy had given her dear niece.

She turned around and walked into the tent. When Jiang Yanshen saw her, he was about to stand up, but he was stopped by Lin Chaoyan.

“Alright, that girl isn’t here. There’s no need to perform in front of me.”

Lin Chaoyan looked at him as if she was looking at a thousand -year-old fox. She had an aura of competing whose cultivation was higher.

She threw the old clothes in her hand onto the bed and casually pulled over a chair beside her to sit down. She stared at Jiang Yanshen and said coldly, “This trick of yours can only fool that girl. There’s no way you can fool me.”

Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and said respectfully, “You’re Qianqian’s

Auntie. I respect you as much as Qianqian does.”

What he meant was that he did not use the ruse of self-injury. She was thinking too much.

“Hurhur!” Lin Chaoyan wouldn’t believe his nonsense. “Alright, stop pretending! We’re all smart people. Don’t beat around the bush.” Jiang Yanshen looked up at her. “Auntie, what do you want to ask?”

“You really want to live a good life with her, but not because she embarrassed the Jiang family at the wedding and you wanted to play with her?” Lin Chaoyan stared at him with a sharp gaze, afraid that she would miss any traces of his emotions.

“No,” Jiang Yanshen replied without thinking. His deep voice was serious as he said, “I really want to live with Qianqian. I want to grow old with her.”

“What about your mother and that little b*tch?” Lin Chaoyan asked again.

“She’s already been chased out of the Jiang family. As for my mother…” Jiang Yanshen’s deep and hoarse voice paused for a moment, as if he was embarrassed by his family’s scandal. His throat bobbed a few times as he said slowly, “She no longer has anything to do with the Jiang family.”

Lin Chaoyan was stunned. She had nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore. In other words, they had broken off their mother-son relationship.

Jiang Yanshen caught the surprise and sympathy in her eyes and lowered his head with a bitter smile. “I’m ashamed to say this. In the eyes of outsiders, the Jiang family is a wealthy family with endless glory, but we’re not even comparable to the most ordinary family.”

Lin Chaoyan looked at his lonely and ashamed appearance and recalled that Qianqian had said in the past that his father had passed away early and he did not have a good relationship with his mother. Only Old Madam Jiang protected him.

He didn’t have a father or mother to dote on him. Just like Qianqian, she only had his grandparents to dote on him. With this thought, she didn’t find him so annoying anymore.

“I don’t want to interfere in your Jiang family’s matters, and I can’t interfere.” Lin Chaoyan sighed and said earnestly, “But Qianqian is the only girl in our family. As long as I’m alive, I can’t watch her be bullied.

You saw it too. She was born in such a backward and poor mountain village. If you treat her well, she’ll naturally be blessed. But if you don’t want to treat her well one day…”

She paused and laughed self-deprecatingly. “Women like us don’t even have anyone to back us up!”

Jiang Yanshen understood the meaning between the lines and his thin lips moved. “In the future, when Qianqian and I have a child, the child’s surname will be Lin.”

Lin Chaoyan looked up at him with lowered eyes and said in disbelief, “Will the old lady agree?”

“Although Grandma is old, she’s not a stubborn person. Whether the child’s surname is Lin or Jiang, it’s still my and Qianqian’s child.” Jiang Yanshen’s expression was calm, and he didn’t care at all.

Lin Chaoyan’s expression improved a little. “Actually, the two of you are young. You can totally have a few more. If no one is available to bring up the child, as long as you don’t mind, I can go over and help at any time.”

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly. “Auntie is right. In the future, when Qianqian is pregnant, I’ll definitely have to trouble Auntie to take care of her. Grandma is old, and I’m worried about having outsiders do this.”

“That’s true.” Lin Chaoyan echoed and said frankly, “Although I’ve never given birth, Qianqian’s mother was pregnant when I lived with her. After her confinement period, I raised Qianqian single-handedly and didn’t raise her badly. She’s such a good little girl, right?”

Jiang Yanshen nodded. “Auntie took good care of Qianqian.”

His words were very tactful. After all, with Lin Chaoyan’s personality, if she was the one who taught Qianqian, Qianqian would definitely have become a second Lin Chaoyan.

Fortunately, Qianqian was taught by her grandfather when she was young and followed his uprightness and kindness.

Lin Chaoyan exclaimed and sighed. “Although our Qianqian has opened a company and earned some money, she still came from the countryside. In the future, even if she gives birth to a child and the child’s surname is Lin, given the wealth and status of your Jiang family, if your family wants to fight for custody, a small family like ours won’t be able to resist, right?”

Jiang Yanshen’s eyes darkened slightly, and his throat bobbed a few times as he said something indifferently.

Lin Chaoyan’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her mouth involuntarily widened until it could fit an egg.

When Lin Qingqian returned, Lin Chaoyan walked out of the tent with a smile. She was no longer as angry and cold as before.

“Auntie, what did Jiang Yanshen tell you?”

What benefits did Ah Yan promise Auntie? Otherwise, why would she be so happy?

Lin Chaoyan realized that she had gotten a little carried away and hurriedly stopped smiling. “It’s nothing.”

She paused and her gaze landed on her face. Her expression froze for a few seconds.. After taking a deep breath, she asked in a low voice, “Does it still hurt?”
