抖荫

At the end of the year.

A thick layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground.

Song Qingyou was a little lazy, so she declined several interviews and program invitations.

After staying at home, Song Qingyou’s typing speed increased several times. The final sci-fi trilogy, Nebula Empire, was finally completed.

After Wen Xia heard the news, she didn’t care about Song Qingyou’s request to change it and ran over on the same day.

‘TH help you revise it as I read it. If there’s anything you need to change, let me know.”

Wen Xia couldn’t wait to read the manuscript.

Although it wasn’t good to think too much, Song Qingyou’s book had been delayed for too long. She was worried that the quality of her book might not be as good as the previous two.

However, it turned out that Song Qingyou, who had won the Charles Award, didn’t need to worry about writing science fiction at all.

Wen Xia read a few pages excitedly and unknowingly became immersed in it. She did not hear the knocking on the door.

Until Song Qingyou let him in. “Why are you back so early? Didn’t you say that there’s a banquet over there?”

Wen Xia raised her head.

Her gaze, which was originally glued to the manuscript, immediately shifted the moment she saw the person at the door.

Wasn’t Song Qingyou a big star? Aren t you single? Who was this man? Could it be her boyfriend?

Wen Xia never expected that she would run into such a big piece of news just because she came to look at the manuscript.

“Something unexpected happened.”

Jiang Zhihan took off his suit jacket and didn’t look too good.

Wen Xia stood up hesitantly. “Teacher Song, this is-”

Song Qingyou introduced them to each other.

“This is Wen Xia, my editor. This is Jiang Zhihan, my boyfriend.”

Jiang Zhihan’s face softened when he heard the word ‘boyfriend’.

Even when he looked at Wen Xia, he wasn’t so cold anymore.

“Hello, Ms. Wen.”

“H-hello.”

Wen Xia almost bit her tongue.

Ever since she became Song Qingyou’s editor, she knew all about her.

For example, wasn’t Jiang Zhihan the CEO of Jiangyuan Corporation? The two of them had even been rumored to be pregnant! The result was quickly clarified…

“Well, there were a few typos in the manuscript. Maybe you typed too fast and ignored them. I’ve already corrected them for you.”

Wen Xia reluctantly put down the manuscript. “Is there anything else you need to edit? Finish it as soon as possible. The editorial office will be on holiday at the end of the year… I won’t disturb the two of you anymore. Bye!” Without waiting for Song Qingyou’s response, she ran off in a hurry.

“Are you satisfied now?” Song Qingyou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I saw a car parked downstairs,” Jiang Zhihan explained seriously. “I guessed that you might have a guest. If the guest saw a cat knocking on the door…” “She will say that my cat is very smart.” Song Qingyou smiled faintly. “Also, you usually ask Assistant Fang to send you up.”

“Fang Yan has other arrangements.”

Jiang Zhihan’s expression remained unchanged as he found an excuse to hold Song Qingyou’s hand.

“Then how did you know that the car parked downstairs was my guest? Isn’t there another resident in this building?”

In the past, when the Song family was rich, they did live in a detached villa near the city. However, after the Song family went bankrupt, that house was pledged as collateral to pay off debts.

If Song Qingyou didn’t have a house under her name, she would probably have to sleep on the streets.

Jiang Zhihan replied, “I bought all the other houses.”

Song Qingyou was speechless.

“When did you do this?”

“Half a year ago.”

It had actually been half a year, and she still hadn’t realized it!

Song Qingyou couldn’t help but feel speechless.

However, she couldn’t be blamed for not being alert.

After she decided to become an artiste and had no other better place to live she could not let anyone know that she lived here, so there was no communication between neighbors.

Moreover, she would go out to film front time to time and spend at least half of her time in a hotel.

Song Qingyou didn’t dwell on the matter anymore. She wasn’t interested in how Jiang Zhihan would deal with the building. Instead, she asked him why he came back early.

“What happened at the banquet? Didn’t you say that it’s a family gathering before the new year?”

The Jiang family seemed to only have Old Master Jiang and a few others, but in fact, there were many relatives who were close to them.

After all, in the era when the old master was born, rich people were not monogamy.

Old Master Jiang had also spent a lot of effort to get the Jiangyuan Corporation. At the end of every year, the Jiang family would hold a family gathering. “Jiang Quan brought his and Dong Xi’s son back and said that he wanted to record his name in the genealogy.”

Jiang Zhihan didn’t sound disappointed at all. Instead, he sounded disgusted.

“Did the old man agree?” Song Qingyou took a closer look at his expression and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Just the old master?” Jiang Zhihan laughed coldly, “Everyone agrees.”

‘Are they just here to watch the show and not think it’s a big deal? Do they want you to make a scene?”

It was easy to guess what those people were thinking.

Jiang Zhihan nodded.

He was too lazy to pretend to be polite with his relatives who he only saw a few times a year, so he simply left early.

Song Qingyou was deep in thought. “Jiang Quan’s actual controller is still the old man. If you leave early and he gets angry and gives all the shares to the newborn child, what will you do?”

Jiang Zhihan didn’t answer and pulled her into his arms.

Song Qingyou let out an “Aiya” and fell onto the other party’s lap.

“If you leave with nothing, I don’t mind you living off a woman.”

“No matter what, I’m a rich woman now. I can afford to support you!”

Jiang Zhihan chuckled, tilted his head, and licked Song Qingyou’s earlobe.

“Should I thank Miss Rich Lady for her love?”

“Of course. My money didn’t come from the wind…”

“So, in order to make Miss Song’s money worth it, I should also perform well.” Then, he leaned forward, and the words Song Qingyou wanted to say were all drowned between her lips and teeth.

Ten minutes later, Song Qingyou touched the corner of her mouth that had

been bitten and gasped in pain.

She picked up the mirror on the coffee table and looked at herself. Then, she kicked the man who was staring at her beside her.

“Jiang Zhihan, are you a dog? It’s really hard on you to become a cat.”

“I’m not satisfied with your performance, so I’ve decided to reconsider raising

you.”

Jiang Zhihan didn’t get angry when he heard that. Instead, he stuck to her like

a plaster.

Just as Song Qingyou was feeling disgusted, he suddenly turned back into a cat.

Then, the cat tilted its head and raised its paw.

Song Qingyou’s health bar was instantly emptied.

Damn it! She didn’t expect Jiang Zhihan to have such a trick up his sleeve!

But cats were so cute, what could be wrong with that?

Song Qingyou was annoyed for a while, but she still picked up the cat and pinched its ears.

“Don’t do it again! I still have to attend the award ceremony tomorrow. How am

I going to explain it to others if you bite my mouth?”

Before she could finish her lecture, her phone rang.

The caller ID showed that it was Wen Wan..
