Chapter 63: Misunderstanding is allowed
The low and serious voice, with an imperative tone, frightened Jiang Qian so much that he quickly stretched out his legs.

It was late at night and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

The cool evening breeze passed through the treetops, sweeping away the evaporated moisture on the skin and bringing bursts of coolness, but it was quickly neutralized by the warmth in Zhou Shiyan's palms.

Zhou Shiyan lowered his head, his hands moving slowly and carefully, paying attention to every detail.

Jiang Qian'an bit his tongue patiently, every minute and every second was torture.

She could see Zhou Shiyan's long, broad hands pinching the back of her feet. The blue veins on the back of his hands were faintly visible, which was very sexy.

Jiang Qian'an swallowed hard and looked at the bag of snacks to divert his attention.

"Do you like Guan Sui?"

The abrupt words seemed like hallucinations in the quiet night.

Jiang Qi'an paused as he touched a bag of snacks, and cast an uncertain gaze towards Zhou Shiyan, who looked normal.
"what?"

After a long time, there was no response.

Was I really hallucinating?

Jiang Qian'an didn't take it seriously anymore. She sat back down, opened the snacks and prepared to eat.

The movement at the feet stops.

Zhou Shiyan stood up, his deep phoenix eyes met Jiang Qi'an's.

"Guan Sui's feelings towards you are more than just friendship."

He said it with too much certainty.

Jiang Qian'an was stunned for a while before she realized that she was not hallucinating and that it was Zhou Shiyan who said that.

"is it?"

She didn't feel anything and just treated him as a friend she hadn't seen for a long time.

Besides, Guan Sui just came back today, so why would Brother Shi Yan say that?

Zhou Shiyan looked at her seriously.

"Jiang Qian, if you don't have any emotional feelings for someone, don't be too nice or special to that person, it will easily lead to misunderstandings."

Looking at the ignorant light in the little girl's eyes, Zhou Shiyan sighed softly, feeling somewhat helpless towards Jiang Qian'an.

She had no such thoughts at all. When it came to love, she tried hard to plant flowers for Ji Linche but they didn't bloom, but she planted willows unintentionally for the people around her but they grew into a shade.

He is inevitable, and Guan Sui must be one of them.

Zhou Shiyan leaned over and took a pack of tissues.

Jiang Qian'an stared at his movements and blurted out subconsciously, "What did Brother Yan do to me at that time?"

After he finished speaking, Jiang Qian realized something was wrong.

She looked flustered and wanted to add explanation eagerly, but she met Zhou Shiyan's eyes.

"Would you misunderstand?"

The tone was light and slow, and each word seemed to strike at the heart. His eyes were full of inquiry, without a trace of joking, as if he just wanted to know the answer.

Jiang Qianan looked away, and said with no confidence, "I can't."

She was wrong from the beginning when she asked the question, and everything that followed seemed to be an attempt to cover up the mistake.

“It doesn’t matter if I do.”

!! ?
Jiang Qian'an blinked, his mind went blank, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

What Zhou Shiyan meant, if she understood it correctly, was it what she thought it meant?

The air seemed thinner, ambiguous and warm.

Zhou Shiyan didn't stop his actions. He lowered his head and took out a tissue to wipe off the excess water droplets.

His patience and self-control have always been very good, and even at this moment he was able to try his best to restrain his thoughts from going astray.

But in the end I can't concentrate on one thing.

He likes the little girl, not just because she is nice to him.

They will also be tempted by beauty.

Zhou Shiyan's eyes darkened slightly. He avoided the wound and quickly wiped the water droplets before opening the iodine. Since the wound was shallow, he put a Band-Aid on it first.

After finishing everything, he realized that the little girl was still staring at him blankly, with an unnatural blush on her cheeks.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing." Seeing Zhou Shiyan looking normal, Jiang Qian'an withdrew his gaze, thinking that she must have overthought.

Brother Shi Yan said it didn’t matter if she misunderstood, as it wouldn’t have any impact on him.

Besides, it was her fault if she misunderstood. Zhou Shiyan only treated her like a sister, and it was shameful to have such random thoughts.

Jiang Qian'an calmed himself down and suppressed the temptation in his heart.

Zhou Shiyan only did some simple handling. He did not dare to be careless about Jiang Qian'an's matter and drove all the way to Lingchuan Central Hospital.

"Brother Shi Yan, there's no need to be so troublesome, right?"

Jiang Qian'an was a little reluctant to go to the hospital. The wound on her hand had just scabbed over a few days ago, and within two days, Zhou Shiyan sent her to the hospital again.

Jiang Qian'an curled his lips, extremely reluctant.

"I think you've handled it well. You don't need to go again."

Her feet are still hurting now. When she goes to the hospital later, she's afraid that Zhou Shiyan will have to carry her in again. It would be so embarrassing with so many people watching.

"Just sit in the car, I'll be right back."

Zhou Shiyan had no intention of making Jiang Qian'an suffer. Just like before, he noticed her bare and injured feet the first time he saw her.

Afraid that the little girl would get bored waiting, Zhou Shiyan added carefully,
"I'll go get someone to come take a look. A professional will be much better than me."

"Ok."

Jiang Qian compromised so that she could accept it.

After Zhou Shiyan walked away, Jiang Qian looked at the familiar hospital name and thought of someone.

It seems that Tang Ji is still in the hospital.

Jiang Qian'an opened WeChat and sent him a message as a greeting.

Tang Ji is not the only one who can't walk now.

Guan Sui also sent a message to report that he was safe, saying that the two people were still being tracked. They must be from a special organization, so they evacuated quickly.

Tonight they accidentally went to a place with few people. In that old city area, most shops would close around 8:30, and even the bar would only be open until 11:00 at most.

Jiang Qian'an checked the chat history between her and Zhou Shiyan again and confirmed that she had not sent Zhou Shiyan her address.

So, how did Brother Shi Yan know she was there?

She didn't know why she replied to the message in the afternoon out of spite.

Perhaps it was because she thought that Zhou Shiyan’s two special messages were not sent to her.

But tonight, if it weren't for Zhou Shiyan, the consequences would be truly disastrous.

Whether it is her or Guan Sui.

Come to think of it, she also found it strange that the man in black knew about her and was pursuing her. If it was because she was Qi'an's heir, then that was unnecessary. Qi'an would not go bankrupt without her.

There is only one other possibility. They knew that Guan Sui wanted to cooperate with her, and Zhou Shiyan said that she meant special to Guan Sui.

Only these two reasons are enough to support their motivation.

Since they were able to find her, it was obvious that she would have to take certain precautions when traveling in the future. Guan Sui's identity in Lingchuan was exposed, and Jiang Qian'an was not sure whether the future cooperation could proceed smoothly.

It should be possible, after all, Qi'an's real research location is very hidden.

The phone was out of battery and turned off. Jiang Qianan threw the phone aside out of boredom and looked at the hospital gate.

For so long, she seemed to have never seriously considered the news of her marriage agreement with Zhou Shiyan.

The versions currently circulating on the Internet and in aristocratic circles still regard Ji Linche as the object of her love but whom she cannot have.

She needs to clarify.

Leaving Ji Linche behind would be more helpful to her subsequent work, so that she wouldn't be dragged down and stepped on by those people who followed the trend and curry favor with Ji Linche.
