Chapter 15 Wet Shirt
After Jiang Yunian took the umbrella, he subconsciously moved a little closer and tilted the umbrella towards Lin Xian.

The right side of his white shirt was soon soaked, revealing his muscular lines that were faintly visible, revealing his vigorous strength.

Lin Xian felt him approaching, so she tightened the strap of her backpack and breathed a lot lighter.

Jiang Yunian’s presence was too strong to be ignored, especially since she was wearing a suspender skirt and the skin of her forearms would always accidentally rub against his shirt.

The imperceptible touch seemed to ignite a spark.

It was only a short distance, but Lin Xian felt like they had walked for eternity.

Jiang Yunian held an umbrella and escorted her to the passenger seat first. Under the dimming light, his appearance was particularly clear.

When Lin Xian raised her eyes to say thank you, her eyes met his. She quickly looked away, not daring to look him in the eye.

Jiang Yunian has a sharp jawline, superior facial features, a hint of tenderness in his brows, and eyes as deep as stars.

Although he was holding an umbrella, his white shirt was completely wet and stuck to his body.

The transparent white cannot conceal the flesh color underneath, outlining the sturdy body lines.

Lin Xian understood that Jiang Yunian was taking care of her, and a wave of warmth rose in her ears. “Doctor Jiang, please get in the car quickly, otherwise you will get wet.”

Jiang Yunian smiled faintly, “I’ll get you a towel.”

Jiang Yunian finished speaking and closed the car door.

Lin Xian gasped for breath and fanned herself with her hands, trying to relieve the inexplicable dryness.

It’s so strange. She is obviously very resistant to contact with strangers, so why doesn’t she dislike Jiang Yunian?

After Jiang Yunian got in the car, Lin Xian found the answer.

He is such a gentleman.

This gentlemanly attitude is ingrained in his bones. He is polite and respectful, and exudes gentleness in his every move. He also tried to avoid physical contact when handing her the towel.

Jiang Yunian started the car and said without looking away: “Where do you live? I’ll take you there.”

Lin Xian laughed awkwardly, “Just find a subway station to drop me off.”

“No, you’ll catch a cold if you use the air conditioner after getting caught in the rain. I’ll take you there.”

Unable to resist his enthusiasm, Lin Xian had to tell him the truth: “Actually, I haven’t found a place to stay yet. I wanted to leave tonight.”

Jiang Yunian tapped the steering wheel lightly with his slender fingers and turned to look at Lin Xian. “I live not far from here. Do you want to…”

“No, no, I can’t go. How can I trouble you again?”

“That’s not what I meant. I was asking if you want to get two of my sister’s clothes to change into first. I noticed you didn’t bring any luggage.”

Having misunderstood Jiang Yunian’s meaning, Lin Xian looked embarrassed and replied with a stiff upper lip: “Okay, thank you for your help.”

The skirt she was wearing was not very long, and the material was a little heavy due to being soaked in water. After Lin Xian wiped her body with a towel, she wrapped the hem of her skirt tightly with the towel.

Jiang Yunian caught a glimpse of her cautious movements and the corners of his mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.

It would be great if his sister was as sensible as Lin Xian.

His sister Lu Xiyuan had already received an offer from an Ivy League school, but for some reason she insisted on staying in Hong Kong to study for a master’s degree at the University of Hong Kong. She kept saying that she wanted to be independent and refused to live at home.

Jiang Yunian has always doted on this sister who is seven years younger than him. Fearing that she would be cheated by a man, he specially bought a seaside apartment near the University of Hong Kong.

There are two floors, so people don’t disturb each other and can still take care of each other.

Everything in the room is ready, but we haven’t moved in yet.

After Jiang Yunian’s car drove into the underground parking lot, Lin Xian took the initiative to say, “Doctor Jiang, I’ll wait for you in the car.”

“Then wait for me, I’ll be back soon.”

After watching Jiang Yunian leave, Lin Xian opened the car window to let in the natural breeze.

The humid wind blew away the heat, and the slight feeling of restlessness in my heart finally disappeared.

But to Lin Xian’s surprise, she actually saw Chen Ji again in the underground parking lot. Why was he still haunting her?

Chen Ji pressed his body weight on a woman whose face was covered by long hair, his face shining with excitement.

After that night, she deleted Chen Ji’s WeChat, so now she knows nothing about his updates.

Thinking about what Qiongying said about him already having a fiancée, could it be the one next to him?
When Lin Xian saw Chen Ji walking towards her, she subconsciously lowered her head and hid in the car seat.

Their voices came from far away.

Chen Ji’s half-teasing voice reached his ears, “You are really my lucky star. Mr. Jiang agreed to meet me.”

The woman smiled coquettishly, “Why don’t you come back to Beijing with me to get engaged?”

This voice made Lin Xian stunned.

It’s Qiao Zijin.

Before, she thought Qiao Zijin wanted to embarrass her on purpose, so she bought fake goods for her.

Thinking about it now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Before coming to Hong Kong City, she had never heard of anything happening between Chen Ji and Qiao Zijin.

How did they suddenly become boyfriend and girlfriend? Why was Qiao Zijin so eager to get engaged to Chen Ji?

Lin Xian hurriedly raised her head and looked out the car window.

Chen Ji happened to pass by and caught a glimpse of her face out of the corner of his eye.

A mocking smile flashed across his lips, and he deliberately hugged Qiao Zijin tighter, resting his chin on Qiao Zijin’s shoulder.

Lin Xian remained calm as she silently got out of the car and stood in front of the two men, blocking their way.

Qiao Zijin was still immersed in Chen Ji’s intimate attitude, with her hands tightly around Chen Ji’s waist.

Chen Ji’s lazy voice sounded, “Did you find out that I live here? Are you deliberately trying to stop me?”

Just when Qiao Zijin was about to act coquettishly, she realized something was wrong. She turned around and found Lin Xian coming over.

Lin Xian didn’t answer Chen Ji’s words, but grabbed Qiao Zijin’s wrist and said, “Come with me, I have something to ask you.”

“Who are you? You’re crazy!”

The strong smell of perfume coming from Qiao Zijin made Lin Xian unable to help but sneeze.

Chen Ji frowned slightly and held Lin Xian’s wrist, “Is there anything I can’t listen to?”

Lin Xian tried to break free, saying in a tough tone: “You don’t have to listen, I have something to confirm with her.”

“what’s up?”

“None of your business!”

Lin Xian didn’t know where she got the strength from, she pushed Chen Ji away, dragged Qiao Zijin to the side, and scolded, “Did you do this behind the scenes? Teacher Li is so outstanding, why did you mess with him?”

Qiao Zijin folded his hands and said sarcastically, “You’re going to protect me now? Who would believe you if you said you have no relationship? Don’t think I don’t know that the bonus for that project is quite a lot.”

Lin Xian suppressed her anger and advised him kindly: “If you withdraw your report and explain the situation, I will let bygones be bygones.”

“You are sick, who said I was the one who reported you? I can only say that you have bad behavior and there are always people who can’t stand you.”

Lin Xian clenched her palms, “Qiao Zijin, don’t force me.”

Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.

She, Lin Xian, is just socially anxious, but she is not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

“What? You want to hit me? Li Shanming looks so wretched and disrespectful to his elders. A bitch and a dog, a perfect match. I am Chen Ji’s fiancée, how dare you hit me…”

With a “pa” sound, a crisp slap landed clearly on Qiao Zijin’s face.
