C7 (1/2)

He is not alone

The car sped on, and soon after it left the mountains and returned to the villa.

It was already early in the morning.

After summer passed, the early morning breeze carried a chill. Jiang Yaner dragged her exhausted body out of the carriage, but a gust of wind caused him to shiver.

Behind her, Jin Chen took off the windbreaker on his body. Without saying a word, he draped it over her weak back and tightly wrapped her up.

He did not turn his head to avoid meeting her surprised gaze, nor did he speak. He did not know how to explain his actions with vicious words.

Just like that, Jiang Yaner slowly walked into the villa under his encirclement. At that moment, the phone in her pocket started to ring.

She looked up at Jin Chen, hesitating whether she should accept it or not.

”Heh, I usually don't realize that you're a young wife, but you still need to look at your husband's eyes when answering the phone.” He smiled charmingly, not forgetting his sarcasm.

”Madame Jin, what are you doing? Where is your love with your Mr. Jin? ” On the other end of the line was a lazy female voice.

”Don't mock me, I've been ridiculed by someone everyday. It wasn't easy for you to make a call, can't you speak properly?” Jiang Yaner ignored Jin Chen who was still at the side and answered with a forced smile.

”What's wrong with you?” His voice was weak. ”Are you alright?” After getting used to the two noisy people, Ni Xiaoxing quickly discovered that something was wrong with her.

Jiang Yaner lowered her head and smiled, thinking that perhaps only she could understand him this well.

Jin Chen snatched the phone away, and without looking at it, hung it up.

”What are you doing!” she shouted angrily.

”Looks like you've recovered pretty well. You still have the energy to yell at me.” He fiddled with his cell phone, smiling wickedly. ”You're going to bed. You're not allowed to talk on the phone.” He put the phone into his trench coat and took it off her.

”Give it back to me!” Jiang Yaner reached out her hands to snatch it, but Jin Chen dodged it agilely. As she was not strong enough, she fell onto the floor.

He crouched down nervously, the worry in his eyes clear.

Jiang Yaner grabbed his arm with a victorious smile.

”You're in love with me, aren't you?” She stopped laughing and stared into his eyes.

The man who was usually cold as ice, was currently avoiding his gaze. He looked away uneasily, as if someone had discovered a secret.

”You?” ”Be more tactful.” He coughed and quickly got up.

Jiang Yaner crawled up from the ground, her phone was still not taken back, so she could only walk up the stairs as she recalled the scene from before incessantly.

”Phew, it's not the first time I've been embarrassed. It doesn't matter anymore.” She comforted herself and remembered that she had asked Jin Chen this question many times.

After entering the room, she took a comfortable hot bath before finally lying down on the bed. As she was about to fall asleep, a hazy figure approached her.

He walked towards Jiang Yaner, and then he took off his shoes. He laid down lightly on the bed, beside her, letting her head lie in his embrace, and stroked her soft hair.

It was like a dream, yet so real.

”Why are you here?” She finally half opened her eyes and was able to distinguish the person in front of her.

But he didn't say anything. He just smiled and stroked her head, letting her sleep again.
