Kiss Rose

Chapter 26 You're Worth It
It was not until they arrived at the place that the mysterious words from Lin Wangshu's mouth were finally explained.

She had hardly seen Zhou Shiyan since he sent her back to Linjiang Court last time.

He left her a message saying that he had something to do in the next two days.

Jiang Qian'an thought that he was going to accompany Lu Jin to show his hospitality.

She didn't expect to see him here.

The place Lin Wangshu brought her to was a detached villa on the riverside far away from the city center.

Lingchuan is close to the river, where three rivers converge to form a wide river that surrounds the entire city. This river is called Lingjiang River.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the river surface, and the early summer breeze blows by, rippling the river into golden color.

A breeze carrying a hint of moisture blew over from the river, wrapping up a few strands of Jiang Qian'an's hair.

She stared at Zhou Shiyan who was walking towards her with a smile on his lips.

He stopped one step in front of her, put the suit jacket on his arm and gently put it on Jiang Qian'an's shoulders, and naturally tidied the hair by her ears. His voice was tender and gentle under the river breeze.

"Put it on. It's cold here."

Jiang Qi'an tightened the collar of his suit with his fingertips. He could smell Zhou Shiyan's unique pine scent. Jiang Qi'an's cheeks burned and he stuttered, "Shi, Shiyan, why are you here?"

Zhou Shiyan turned sideways and put his arm around Jiang Qian'an's shoulders. "It's windy outside, let's go in first."

"Yes, An An, let's go in first!" Lin Wangshu and Xiao Shu got out of the car. Lin Wangshu looked at the two of them and smiled ambiguously at Jiang Qian'an.

Jiang Qian'an wanted to explain, but saw Lu Jin standing at the door.

Jiang Qian'an swallowed back the words he was about to say, gave Lin Wangshu a look to let her figure it out herself, and then left with Zhou Shiyan.

Lin Wangshu smiled more and more brightly, revealing two small fangs, and his eyes curved into crescents, cunning and sweet.

She subconsciously reached out to hold Xiao Shu's hand, but found nothing.

Lin Wangshu frowned, and hit Xiao Shu's arm with his palm, not lightly or heavily, dissatisfied, "Why are you hiding! You must let me hit you when you are so happy."

Lin Wangshu lowered his head, saw Xiao Shu's hand clearly, and held it forcefully.

Xiao Shu looked down at her helplessly, with subtle emotions flashing across his eyes.
"What's there to be happy about? What if I entrust my trust to the wrong person?"

"How is that possible? That's Zhou Shiyan. We all watched him when we were little."

"That's not necessarily true." Xiao Shu's voice was indifferent, and it was unclear who he was talking about.

Lin Wangshu couldn't help but punch Xiao Shu again. This time she used force, causing Xiao Shu to hiss and quickly dodge, "I was wrong, little ancestor."

"I think you deserve a beating. You throw cold water on me for every word I say!"

"Wrong, wrong, so wrong!"

Jiang Qian'an listened to their quarreling and laughed slightly. These two have been together for several years and are still so noisy. They have a really good relationship.

"Hello, sister-in-law." Lu Jin couldn't stand the wind and coughed twice. He concealed his weakness and put on a smile, "Come on, I'll show you the surprise Zhou Shiyan prepared for you these two days."

"It's just some daily stuff, not a surprise."

Zhou Shiyan was not modest. He had just returned to China, and there were many things about Jiang Qian's preferences that he did not fully understand. He was afraid of raising people's psychological expectations, and then what he saw would not meet Jiang Qian's expectations.

He was always afraid that he wasn't doing well enough.

Zhou Shiyan didn't expect that Lin Wangshu and others would invite him to Jiang Qian'an's birthday party.

Over the years, he had never been invited. Every year on Jiang Qian'an's birthday, he could only carefully select a gift and secretly mix it in with her pile of gifts. Later, when he was abroad, he asked Grandpa Jiang to pass it to Jiang Qian'an.

So that night, when he received the invitation, he tentatively asked if he could come and help.

He wanted to personally participate in the little girl's birthday party.

The lobby of the villa was obviously carefully designed and cleaned. The decoration was elegant and beautiful, and the crystal chandelier hanging from mid-air was like a dream.

Zhou Shiyan introduced them layer by layer.

"The first and second floors are recreational areas, and the lobby is mainly used for dining. I heard from your friend that she invited some of your old friends over.

There are more entertainment facilities on the second floor, all of which are entertainment activities that you young people like.

The third floor is the room for your friends to stay in. The fourth floor is your exclusive suite. I brought some of your usual clothes from home and also prepared a few dresses. I hope you like them.

Above that is the rooftop. I’ll take you up there tomorrow night to have a look.”

"I've been busy all day with the top floor." Lu Jin looked at Zhou Shiyan teasingly, "Old Zhou, why didn't I realize that you are so good at coaxing girls before."

Zhou Shiyan raised his eyelids and gave Lu Jin a warning look, signaling him not to say too much.

Lu Jin gave him a reassuring look and continued, "It was my sister-in-law who brought such a great man like Zhou Shiyan to his knees."

"That's right, An An, these are all modified by Brother Shi Yan and us in the past two days. Isn't it amazing?" Lin Wangshu came up at some point.

"Just these two days?" Jiang Qian'an didn't expect that Zhou Shiyan was the one who led the effort to make so many things.

She knew that Lu Jin might be inside, and Zhou Shiyan had to pretend to love her deeply, but what Zhou Shiyan did seemed a bit too much.

"By the way, An An, hurry up and pack up. We'll go to the riverside for a barbecue later." Lin Wangshu winked at Lu Jin, "Come on, Brother Lu Jin, come with us."

"Okay, then, Lao Zhou, take your sister-in-law to the fourth floor to have a look. We'll go down first."

Zhou Shiyan nodded slightly, his heart beating with joy. He wanted more than anything to be alone with Jiang Qian'an.

The crystal lamps illuminated the whole villa as bright as day. Zhou Shiyan wore a white shirt inside and a black suit vest outside. The dark red suit tie was tied neatly, just like Zhou Shiyan, meticulous.

Jiang Qian'an has met many people, many of whom can't even dress like a night waiter, but on Zhou Shiyan, they look particularly noble.

Jiang Qian'an couldn't imagine that such a noble person had made so many things for her birthday in the past two days. She was really flattered by the blessing of her future sister-in-law.
"Brother Shi Yan, you don't have to do so much for me."

Zhou Shiyan turned his head to look at her with gentle eyes. He had seen Jiang Qian'an when he was the most spoiled. She had always lived like this before, and Zhou Shiyan was unwilling to let her down.

He said, "An An, you deserve this."

He knew Jiang Qian would feel bad, so he said the words he had prepared long ago.

"If you really mind, you can temporarily imagine me as your brother. As an elder brother, I should always pamper my younger sister."

Zhou Shiyan smiled warmly and raised his hand to rub Jiang Qian'an's hair without any hidden emotions. In Jiang Qian'an's view, it was truly the love and care of an elder for a younger person.

She had seen such family affection in Lin Wangshu.

　Thank you everyone. The first round of recommendations has passed and the second round of PK will probably be held on Tuesday.
