She is From The Countryside

Was How Other People Addressed Her

Jiang Lin went to open the door. Jiang Che sat on the sofa and picked up the newspaper that he had just put down. He glanced at it, then put it back. His eyes looked towards the door with some unknown emotions.

Jiang Lin led Shi Yan in. Shi Yan looked directly at the pair of overly deep eyes on Jiang Che’s outstanding face.

Her footsteps paused slightly. It was only for a moment, but she recovered very quickly.

She walked in with a faint smile, “Fifth Master Jiang, sorry to disturb you.”

“No, I don’t have anything to do on a daily basis,”Jiang Che said as he stood up from the sofa and spoke to Shi Yan. “Miss Shi, please have a seat.”

His gentle face still had a sickly pallor.Shi Yan looked at him, then her gaze swept past his standing legs and quickly moved away. She smiled and said, “I liked the pastries that Fifth Master gave me before, but they were made by Master Five’s elders. I couldn’t buy them outside, so I thickened my skin and came to find Fifth Master. If it’s convenient, can Fifth Master ask that elder of yours to make some more?”

She handed over the food box in her hand and said, “This is some soup and medicinal cuisine that I personally made. Consider it a thank you gift in advance to Fifth Master.”

Jiang Che’s gaze paused on her elegant smile for a second. Then, he turned to look at the wooden food box that she was carrying. The meaning was unclear.

“Miss Shi, did you personally prepare this?”

Shi Yan nodded with a faint smile.

“Please take a seat, Miss Shi.”

Shi Yan walked over and sat down. She placed the food box on the coffee table in front of her.

Jiang Che also sat down.

“However, Miss Shi, if you like some pastries, you can just ask me for them. You don’t have to go through the trouble of personally preparing a thank you gift.”

“It’s just cooking some food. It doesn’t take much effort. On the other hand, I know that the pastries were made by Fifth Master’s elders, but I still came to ask for them from him. It’s really a little rude.”

“Aunt Shen likes to make pastries to kill time when she has nothing to do. In the past, she was worried that it would be a waste if no one ate them. If she knew that Miss Shi liked them, she would definitely be very happy. There’s no need to be rude.”

At this moment, Jiang Lin made a cup of tea.

“Miss Shi Yan, please have some tea.”

Shi Yan smiled and thanked him.

Jiang Che glanced at Jiang Lin. After saying “You’re welcome” to Shi Yan, Jiang Lin tactfully left. When he turned around and left the living room, he could not help but click his tongue in his heart.

They were still far from each other, and he was already starting to dislike him for being a hindrance.

Shi Yan continued, “No matter what, I have to trouble Fifth Master and that elder of yours to prepare a thank you gift to satisfy my appetite.”

“It’s almost lunchtime now. Fifth Master, do you want to try my soup and medicinal cuisine while it’s still hot? This is my first time cooking since I came to Sea City. I wonder if my culinary skills have deteriorated.”

Jiang Che’s gaze fell on the food box again. He paused for a moment and said, “Since Miss Shi has personally cooked, I can’t let you down.”

There was clearly no smile on his face. It could even be said that there was no expression on his face. However, it did not make people feel that his attitude was cold and indifferent. On the contrary, he gave people a very comfortable feeling. This was probably related to the gentle and jade-like temperament of his body.
