Chapter 21.4

Su Qian put her suitcase aside, and crossed her arms, “You said someone came to return something, who was that person? A man or a woman?”

Jin Lie asked deliberately, “Does it matter who it is?”

“Alright, I get it. It’s someone you can’t mention.”

After saying this, she dragged her suitcase around Jin Lie again, “The beautiful prairie is my home, the wind blows the green grass all over the flowers…”

When she got to the stairs, Su Qian couldn’t help but turn back and glare at Jin Lie. But she saw him standing under the soft light, and his beautiful eyes curved into crescents, full of smiles.

“What are you laughing at!”

Jin Lie walked over in a few steps, took her suitcase and went upstairs on his own. The suitcase was heavy, his arm veins bulged, and his solid muscles were full of strength.

Su Qian bit her lip, as if she suddenly wasn’t so angry. After a few seconds, she followed him up the stairs.

At the door of the room, Jin Lie returned her suitcase and suddenly asked, “You don’t like Zhou Bingyan?”

Su Qian paused slightly. She wanted to say that she just didn’t like her? She was absolutely annoyed!

A bunch of words came to her lips, but she just lightly said, “Hmm.”

According to their current relationship, Jin Lie’s view of her doesn’t seem to have changed. Saying too much might be seen as her gossiping.

“She framed me with a photo last time, I don’t like her.”

“I know, she won’t be allowed to come here in the future.” Jin Lie looked at her and explained, “The bronze ware was sent over by Zhou Bingyan on behalf of her father, without informing me in advance.”

Su Qian pouted.

It must have been Zhou Bingyan who actively requested it. Just look at her outfit, you can tell it was carefully prepared.

Having received a reasonable explanation, the anger in Su Qian’s heart was relieved. Invisibly, she hated Zhou Bingyan even more.

She’s such a white lotus.

“I don’t like her dress either. It’s hideous!” As she spoke, she pushed Jin Lie, “You should go back to your room and wash your eyes.”

Jin Lie suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth and deliberately said, “Ugly? I think it’s okay.”

“Are you doubting my aesthetic sense?”

“A little bit.”

Su Qian snorted coldly, “Well, I still think you look good!”

With laughter swirling in his eyes, he gladly accepted this hard-won compliment, “Thank you for the compliment, Mrs. Jin.”

“Don’t mention it. Now I ask you, if I and Zhou Bingyan fell into the river together, and you have a brick in your hand, are you planning to save me first and then throw it at her, or throw it at her first and then save me?”

Her anger is easy to dissipate, as long as he seizes the opportunity to perform well.

Jin Lie pretended to think about it, holding back a laugh and told her, “Whoever to save, whoever to throw”

Su Qian: “……”

This dog man, if she has any more expectations of him, she is a pig!

——

Su Qian slept until the sun was three poles high while hugging Blueberry. The little guy is very clingy, always sticking to Su Qian. Even when she goes downstairs for breakfast in the morning, it follows her step by step.

Mrs. Wang brought up breakfast, and didn’t forget to put the little guy’s plate next to Su Qian’s chair.

Blueberry sniffed the food in the plate, meowed twice, and started eating happily.

Su Qian stroked its shiny fur, wow, so smooth.

“It’s grown a lot in these two months, Mrs. Wang, you’ve taken really good care of it.”

Mrs. Wang waved her hand, “Lady, don’t praise me, it’s all thanks to the master.”

Jin Lie?

Su Qian didn’t quite believe it, that guy clearly disliked it.

“By the way, a woman came here before you came back yesterday. She was arrogant, talking with her neck raised, and looked at people through her nostrils.”

As Mrs. Wang spoke, she raised her head to imitate Zhou Bingyan’s manner.

“Pfft…” Su Qian couldn’t help but laugh, she didn’t expect Mrs. Wang to be such a comedic person, “You really do a good imitation.”

“Lady, do you know her?” Mrs. Wang looked cautiously at the second floor and said in a low voice, “You have to be careful, that woman has a face that can seduce men, maybe she was a shovel spirit in her previous life.”

“Mrs. Wang, you’re really too cute!” Su Qian laughed heartily, how come she never noticed before that Mrs. Wang was so interesting.

“What’s so funny.” Jin Lie came over and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Mrs. Wang and Su Qian looked at each other, and they both laughed knowingly.

“Nothing, just chatting.” Su Qian scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it in her mouth.

Blueberry had already finished its portion, it lifted its little head and saw Jin Lie, meowed twice in a cute manner, then jumped up and landed on him.

Su Qian’s heart jumped to her throat in an instant. She was afraid that Jin Lie, with his disdainful attitude, would pick up the kitten and throw it out of the window.

“Blueberry, come here!”

The little guy ignored her call, snuggled in Jin Lie’s arms, and even rubbed his head against his neck.

“What have you eaten?” Jin Lie asked as he pulled out a tissue to wipe off something from its whiskers. The practiced movement seemed to have been done countless times.

Su Qian watched the whole process, almost stunned. When did these two become so familiar? What has been going on behind her back?!

“Mrs. Wang said you were taking care of Blueberry, I didn’t believe it, but it turns out to be true?”

Jin Lie threw away the tissue, looked up at her and said, “So how are you going to repay me?”

Su Qian immediately called the kitten, and pouted at it, “Blueberry, give your dad a kiss.”

Blueberry seemed to really understand, blinked its big eyes, meowed twice, then lifted its little head, and licked Jin Lie’s chin.

He looked disgusted as he moved it away, pointed at its head and placed it next to Su Qian, “Go find your mom.”

.

After eating, Su Qian called Xu Ke and found out that she had a week off temporarily.

Su Qian went to the study, not knowing what to do as her next job was still a long way off.

Jin Lie was engrossed in reading documents at his desk, and didn’t look up when he heard the sound. Su Qian had to take the initiative to explain her intention, “I want to borrow a book to read.”

“You pick one yourself.”

Su Qian spent a long time choosing in front of the bookshelf. She had read many of the books there, but the versions she had read were old. After a long selection, she finally chose the original novel of Sherlock Holmes.

Detective reasoning has always been her favorite.

Holding the book, Su Qian walked to the office desk and couldn’t help but ask, “It seems like you never have any free time. Where do you get so much work?”

Jin Lie put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows, “Don’t be so curious, you definitely won’t understand this kind of pleasure.”

“Tsk, you really look down on people. I used to work all year round too!” She was so busy that she didn’t even have time to keep track of when her period was.

“Oh? When was that?”

Su Qian stiffened slightly, accidentally revealing that she had traveled here from another time.

“I was busy growing every day in my mother’s womb, what’s wrong with that?” After saying that, she pouted and walked away nonchalantly.

The study was quiet for a few seconds, then a soft laugh suddenly rang out.

—

In early October, the temperature was lower in the morning and evening, but the sun was warm during the day, making it very comfortable to bask in.

Autumn is the perfect season for sleeping. During these few days of rest, Su Qian slept until she naturally woke up every day. During the day, she would hold Blueberry and read a book in the sun on the swing chair in the yard.

She read, and Blueberry sunbathed.

Jin Lie occasionally went to the company, but most of the time he was still working in the study. However, these days he had added one more leisure activity to his work.

He closed the file, rubbed his sore neck, and it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

Jin Lie got up and walked to the window, where he saw the figure of a woman and a cat on the swing chair.
