Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Every year, the charity banquet held by Vin would be trending on the Internet. The celebrities who were the best-looking, the celebrities who donated the most, were some examples of the trending topics.

However, the top trending topic this year was not the person who donated the most, but Lin Qingqian and Jiang Yanshen.

Some staff member made a video of the two of them looking at each other and posted it online. It instantly caused a heated discussion among netizens.

The rabbit that gets fat from eating vegetables: “F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck! I’m jealous. This gaze… If it’s not love, what is it?!”

Getting Lu Qinshang after cultivating for a thousand years: “Ah! I’m blowing up this gaze. What kind of love is this!!”

Best Actor Wen on My Bed: “I want my husband to look at me like that too.” Pale Blue in July: “Dog of a man is seducing another woman behind my back again…’

Stealing a Bicycle and Raising a Daughter Goose: ‘Who said that she was sold to money? That look in her eyes can kill me ten thousand times over!”

Disqualified in the Human Realm: “This is the first time I’ve been sweetened by a gaze. Boohoo… If they break up, I won’t believe in love anymore.”

That night, all the girls who couldn’t sleep and surfed the Internet were crying for this sweet love, but Lin Qingqian woke up in a nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.

She sat up in a daze, her expression blank and numb.

Jiang Yanshen’s deep sleep was disrupted by her and he reached out to switch on the bedside lamp. The orange light illuminated the room, allowing him to see clearly the sweat on Lin Qingqian’s forehead.

“What’s wrong?” He took out a tissue and gently wiped the sweat on her forehead as his lips landed on her shoulder.

It was then that Lin Qingqian slowly came back to her senses. Her clear eyes lit up and she pursed her lips. “It’s nothing. I just dreamt about what happened in school. ”

Jiang Yanshen frowned subtly and said in a low and hoarse voice, “About Ming Xiao bullying you?”

Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment before nodding.

“Do you want to tell me?” Jiang Yanshen reached out and brushed her hair away before using a tissue to wipe the sweat on the back of her neck.

Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and said lightly, “Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that she locked me in the toilet for a night, stole my design, and hid a blade in my soap.”

These things were nothing to her now, but to the old Lin Qingqian, who had just arrived in a new environment, it was very scary.

She did not dare to tell anyone, nor did she dare to resist. She could only endure all her emotions and digest them herself.

When Jiang Yanshen heard about the blade, his eyes turned cold. He grabbed her wrist and opened her right palm. There was a very thin and obvious scar.

“You said you cut yourself accidentally.”

So it wasn’t…

Lin Qingqian’s fingertips trembled slightly, and she slowly clenched her fists to cover the ugly scar. She said calmly, “It’s all in the past.”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t say anything. His cold facial features were filled with endless coldness and frost. Although he had asked Lu Yuan to investigate some things, it was obvious that…

There were many details that could not be found.

Jiang Yanshen pulled her hand over and stared at the scar on her palm with his black eyes. There was an indescribable anger and pain in his heart. His eyes gradually turned red, and his breathing quickened…

Lin Qingqian sensed that something was wrong with his emotions and hurriedly said, “Ah Yan, calm down. I’m fine. I’m really fine…”

Jiang Yanshen frowned tightly, his black eyes closed as if he couldn’t hear her voice, and large beads of sweat slowly rolled down his forehead…

Lin Qingqian’s slightly cold hand then cupped his cheek. “Ah Yan, open your eyes and look at me. I’m fine… Look at me…”

Jiang Yanshen’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Her delicate and worried facial features were reflected in his red pupils.

“I’m really fine!” Lin Qingqian said solemnly. “Take a few deep breaths and calm down.’

Jiang Yanshen took a few deep breaths according to her words and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. He then chased the wild beast that was about to break out of its cage back to the darkest and coldest abyss.

Lin Qingqian raised her head and kissed his forehead. “Ming Xiao’s return reminded me of the unhappy things in the past, but it wasn’t all darkness during that period of time. At that time, you taught me how to adapt to city life and taught me that if I didn’t want to be bullied, I had to fight back. That’s how

I learned everything.”

If not, how could she have become the Lin Qingqian today?

Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes stared at her without blinking. His thin lips pursed into an emotionless arc and he didn’t say a word.

Lin Qingqian smiled lightly. “You are the light that appeared at the darkest moment of my life. You brought me out of the darkness and gave me light and hope.”

Otherwise, how could she have sacrificed seven years for this man, and how could she bear seeing him helpless and confused?

“Mr Jiang Yanshen, you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen’s long arm grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

He hugged her tightly, not leaving any gaps. He was like a drowning person who had just been fished out of the water and his throat kept moving as he let out a hoarse voice—

“Stop talking… Qianqian, stop talking…”

If she continued, his heart would break.

Thinking back on that memory, he did not provide much warmth for the girl in front of him. Most of the time, he was like a high and mighty god. Occasionally, he would look at her and give her a few words of revelation.

It was just like a passerby who saw a random dog or cat and would throw a bone at the roadside for it. It was such an insignificant act.

There was no genuine concern or pity.

He had never felt that he had done anything wrong until now…

Listening to her gratitude for treating his thoughtless acts as a gift, she was so pious that it crushed his internal organs.

A despicable person like him was sincerely loved by such an innocent girl. The girl loved him so deeply that he was like a vengeful spirit who had been imprisoned in the depths of hell for a thousand years before becoming illuminated by the Buddhist light .

Lin Qingqian’s slender hands slowly wrapped around his sturdy waist. Smelling the faint scent of ebony on his body, her chaotic heart calmed down bit by bit.

Whether it was eight years ago or eight years later, this man had always given her salvation when her spiritual world was at its most barren.

Perhaps this was the fate she would never be able to escape in her life.

Just as a group of people was about to have a meeting, Suisui ran in from outside and said gossipily, “Big news, big news…”

Other than Lin Qingqian, everyone’s gazes were attracted by her. Su Ying asked, “What big news?”

“Do you know who the new editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion is?” Suisui asked mysteriously and specially glanced at Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian replied without looking up, “The eldest daughter of the Ming

Family, Ming Xiao.”

Suisui gasped and widened her eyes. “How did you find out?”

Lin Qingqian looked up at her with a cold expression. “Is it very difficult to guess?

Recently, the editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion had changed. The article was filled with indirect criticism of their company and Ming Xiao had just returned from overseas.

All of this could naturally be linked to the fact that Ming Xiao was the new editor-in-chief of Contemporary Fashion.

“Then there’s something else you definitely cant guess!” Suisui guaranteed.

“What?” Lin Qingqian couldn’t think of anything more surprising than this.

Seeing that everyone’s appetite was piqued, Suisui revealed a smug smile. She didn’t want to leave them hanging and said directly, “Ming Xiao actually invited Best Actor Wen to shoot the cover of their next issue!”

Su Ying asked carefully, “It’s the… Best Actor Wen I know?”

Suisui curled her lips. “How many Best Actor Wens do you think there are in the entertainment industry?”

Su Ying couldn’t help but gasp. “Can I buy an issue of Contemporary Fashion?”

She was Luo Tianxue’s fan, but which girl who chased celebrities had never drooled over Best Actor Wen’s looks!!!

Suisui rolled her eyes. “Buy my ass! Don’t give that shameless green tea b*tch Ming Xiao any business!”

“But—”

“But my ass!” Suisui retorted without hesitation. “That sl*t used to bully our Qianqian in school. Are you still going to support her?”

These words made the few people who were originally discussing immediately stop. Their gazes unanimously turned to the person involved, Lin Qingqian.

Lin Qingqian: ‘

Sooner or later, she would have to sew up this little mouth.

Suisui realized that she had said something wrong and immediately sat down to try her best to reduce her presence.

Han Liubai looked at Lin Qingqian gently, his eyes filled with surprise and heartache.

Lin Qingqian pretended that nothing had happened and said softly, “About the work arrangements for the next quarter…”

After the meeting ended, Lin Qingqian received a call from Vin. Clearly, the fact that Ming Xiao had invited Best Actor Wen made Vin feel threatened.

“Z Magazine has already surpassed Contemporary Fashion for two consecutive seasons. It’s fine to be suppressed once.” Lin Qingqian comforted Vin. “A person can’t win forever.”

“I can’t invite Best Actor Wen. Besides, they just invited Best Actor Wen. Let’s invite some powerful stars to fight with them.”

“Who should we invite next issue? No one in the country can beat Best Actor Wen. Why don’t we consider foreign celebrities… Or from another perspective, choosing the elites of other industries is also a topic.”

After giving her the suggestion, Lin Qingqian hung up and turned around to see Han Liubai standing at the door. “Xiao Bai.”

“I saw that you were on the phone and didn’t disturb you.” Han Liubai walked in with a glass of fruit juice and handed it to her. “Are you alright?”

Lin Qingqian smiled. “I’m fine.”

She picked up the fruit juice and took a sip before looking at the screen…

Han Liubai looked at her gently and worriedly, as if he did not believe her words.

“I’m really fine.” Lin Qingqian put down the fruit juice cup and said with a faint smile, “I’ve experienced school bullying for a period of time, but I wasn’t beaten up, nor did I develop any mental illness. I’m in good health now. Don’t look at me with such worried and sympathetic eyes.”

Han Liubai nodded and said in confusion, “If not for Suisui, it would be difficult to imagine that you had experienced such a thing in the past.”

She was always calm and indifferent, not fighting or snatching, as if she was aloof from the world, but also as if she had the ambition of a swan..
