Quick Wear: The Crazy Boss Only Loves the Cold Host
Chapter 6: Elegant Uncle x Emotionally Deficient Niece 6
As she fell, she hugged Jiang Yan tightly. The feeling of weightlessness and the excitement of jumping early finally made her heart beat faster.
She could see the blue ocean below as if it was welcoming them to touch.
She felt the intense heartbeat.
My heartbeat was ringing in my ears.
Some are hers, and some are Jiang Yan’s.
There was also a slight tinnitus caused by the congestion in the brain from hanging upside down.
Apart from being somewhat surprised when he was suddenly pulled down, Jiang Yan just looked at her in the air. It was clearly an adrenaline-pumping thing, but he was able to smile easily.
He said, "Qingqing's heart is beating so fast."
It only takes a few moments for the rope to be straightened from falling.
They swung in the air and no one could see their movements clearly.
So Jiang Yan reached out and grabbed the back of Jiang Qing's head, and forced their foreheads together.
His voice was a little hoarse from the adrenaline rush.
"Can you hear my heartbeat?"
"It's beating for you."
The heartbeats of the two seemed to resonate at the same frequency at this moment.
The tinnitus in Jiang Qing's mind was looming, and then gradually dissipated with the sound of the wind at the beach.

After the bungee jumping activity, Jiang Qing never went out to play again, and only occasionally attended a few family gatherings of the Jiang family.
The drum-like heartbeat that day has calmed down now, but it seems to ring in Jiang Qing's ears from time to time.
She missed that feeling for no reason.
In August, Jiang Qing entered his third year of high school and began to prepare intensively for the exam. Jiang's father and mother therefore returned home to help Jiang Qing prepare for the exam.
Jiang Yan no longer lived in Jiang Qing's house. Instead, he met the Jiang family and went abroad.
Time flies. During this school year, Jiang Qing and Xia Chulan each took some time to tutor Jing Ran. Fortunately, Jing Ran had a strong comprehension ability and was able to absorb all the knowledge provided in the tutoring. By the last minute, he no longer needed tutoring and was able to keep up with the school's review pace.
Jiang Qing and Jiang Yan only met during the New Year and Spring Festival when everyone gathered together. At that time, because Jiang Yan had helped take care of her not long ago, Jiang Qing was sent to pick him up at the door.
A thin layer of snow fell on the umbrella that Jiang Qing brought and was held by Jiang Yan, and some fell on Jiang Yan's shoulders.
During this Spring Festival, Jiang Yan did something strange. After he came back, he took Jiang Qing to talk to Grandpa Jiang.
He said, "I have to thank Qingqing for taking care of me before."
Jiang Qing then realized that Jiang Yan had been suffering from insomnia from nightmares while abroad, and sleep was a luxury for him.
Because he came back to take care of Jiang Qing, and perhaps because he was more tired from handling work in the country, he slept more soundly than ever during that period.
The reasons were true and false, which made Grandpa Jiang look at the two of them solemnly.
He knew clearly the temperament of the child he raised.
So he became alert, but Jiang Yan was neither too ostentatious nor too cautious, and dealt with all kinds of problems with ease, which made his worries seem too sensitive.
In April of the new year, Jiang Qing's eighteenth birthday is approaching, and the Jiang family has decided to give her a good birthday party. In previous years, Jiang Qing celebrated her birthday privately because she was sick, so her eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony must be held in a grand manner.
Although Jiang Qing rarely appears in public due to her emotional deficiency disorder, everyone in the circle knows that the Jiang family has such a daughter, so etiquette is naturally indispensable.
Quite a few gifts were given out at the beginning of the month alone, mostly from Jiang family’s partners.
In a blink of an eye, it was the night before Jiang Qing's birthday. As usual, she finished her serious review and it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Even Jiang Qing felt a little tired from the heavy workload in the third year of high school.
She remembered that she had initially thought about going to study at a foreign university, so that she could keep a closer eye on Jiang Yan and prevent him from making any physical mistakes.
But it never came to this.
After Xiaoqi's rigorous calculations, there is probably no need to do so.
It was almost midnight when she came out of the shower.
Jiang Qing remembered that this was her eighteenth year in this world.
Her memory only covers these eighteen years.
She had forgotten at least the past hundred years, as if her brain wouldn't let her remember.
"when--"
As the clock struck midnight, a large field of brilliant fireworks suddenly appeared in the sky outside the window.
Jiang Qing's phone also vibrated and she looked at the incoming call.
It’s Jiang Yan.
I slowly picked up the phone and heard the person on the other end say, "Happy eighteenth birthday, Qingqing."
"Congratulations, you're an adult now."
"Fireworks are a gift to you as a coming-of-age gift."
She saw fireworks blooming in the night sky, like colorful flowers blooming in an instant. They bloomed in various shapes and colors, some like shooting stars across the sky, some like chrysanthemums blooming, and some like waterfalls pouring down. The light of the fireworks illuminated the entire sky, almost dispelling the darkness.
The fireworks lasted for a long time, and the last thing that exploded in the sky were the eight words "Happy 18th Birthday to Qingqing".
Jiang Qing finished watching the fireworks before quietly thanking Jiang Yan.
"Thank you, uncle. I like it very much."
His sincere look softened the hearts of those who listened to him.
"As long as you like it, go to bed early, my dear."
Jiang Yan hung up the phone.
A car parked outside Jiang Qing's house drove away quietly.
...
The birthday party was organized by Jiang's mother Cui Wanyu, and the location was at the Jiang family's old house. Some wealthy people always like to host banquets in a seemingly low-key manner, and Jiang's mother, who is an artist, is no exception.
In the spacious courtyard, purple roses are in full bloom, filling the air with rich fragrance. The entire old mansion is covered in purple tones, exuding a sense of elegance.
Next to the gate outside the building is a large flower painting hand-painted by Jiang's mother. Outside the painting board is a sea of flowers, and the two extend almost to cover the grass, weaving the flowers painted on the painting board and the blooming flowers into a gorgeous blanket, which together with the scattered light and shadow constitute eternity.
Jiang Qing started dressing up and picking out her clothes at noon. Her entire outfit was purple, making her look like a Barbie princess from a fairy tale world.
But she only appeared for a short while at the beginning of the banquet and then disappeared with Mr. Jiang, much faster than Cinderella who left on time at twelve o'clock.
Grandpa Jiang doted on her, but he just told her not to drink the wine at the party secretly and left her alone.
Jiang Qing ran upstairs to keep quiet, and no one would ask her to deal with the guests.
When Jiang Yan stepped onto the platform from the spiral staircase on the third floor, Jiang Qing was a little stunned.
Xiao Qi has been busy with the literary works collected from the six thousand worlds lately and has not paid much attention to other news, so Jiang Qing didn't know that Jiang Yan would come back on her birthday.
Jiang Yan was wearing a dark suit as usual, and seemed to be wearing a purple tie, which was rarely seen at today's banquet and was similar in color to Jiang Qing's skirt.
He held a large bunch of wisteria flowers in his hand, with scattered diamond powder on them sparkling under the dim light, just like the fireworks that Jiang Qing saw in the early morning.
Jiang Yan did not let her hold the flowers in her own hands, but gently placed them on the glass table next to where Jiang Qing was sitting. Then he took out a gift box from somewhere and handed it to her with one hand. With the other hand, he held her fingertips and leaned over to kiss the back of her hand.
It disappears as soon as it touches, but it seems that a slight warm feeling remains on the back of the hand and cannot be removed.
"This is the real gift, my dear."
I don't know whether he was talking about the gift box or the kiss on the back of the hand.
Jiang Yan's voice at this time was just as gentle as his actions just now, as if he was afraid that Jiang Qing in front of him would be scared away.
Jiang Qing reached out to take the gift box and opened it. It was a necklace decorated with many sapphires, the one in the middle was particularly large.
Not long ago, Jiang Qing had seen this necklace in an auction house brochure given to Jiang's father. The name of the necklace was Blue Beauty.
The starting price was extremely high, and even Jiang Qing found it hard to imagine the price that could be achieved.
She looked up at Jiang Yan with a smile on her lips. This was a smile she had learned from imitating Jiang Yan in private. It was an elegant and polite smile.
"Thank you, uncle. Apologies for the expense."
"When did my uncle come back?"
"Just arrived."
Just as Jiang Yan was about to continue speaking, another figure appeared at the entrance of the spiral staircase.
"Mr. Jiang Yan is here?"
The visitor was a stunningly beautiful woman, whose voice was as charming as her temperament.
Jiang Yan turned around when he heard the voice, but couldn't see his expression clearly.
"Ms. Li? Nice to meet you."
"Where? I came here specifically to see you."
Li Qianxue discovered Jiang Qing when she approached with her slender waist twisting.
"Ms. Jiang Qing? You were up there?"
She tilted her head to glance at the wisteria flowers placed aside. Jiang Qing's purple skirt petals were in perfect harmony with the wisteria flowers. She looked at the blue beauty in her hand again, a hint of astonishment flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
Jiang Qing didn't say anything, just nodded in response.
Li Qianxue also knew about Jiang Qing's illness, and her attention returned to Jiang Yan.
"Mr. Jiang Yan, my father asked me to come to you."
Li Qianxue's father, Li Songqing, was a business partner that Jiang Yan met when he returned to China to discuss business.
He and Li Qianxue were of similar age, and Li Qianxue had never found a boyfriend, which had made Li Songqing very worried. Jiang Yan was a well-known golden bachelor in the circle, so he often wanted to introduce Li Qianxue to him, and the two had met once or twice at drinking parties.
"I will go to see Mr. Li later to reminisce about the past. Please go back, Miss Li."
Li Qianxue was not annoyed by the order to leave. She naturally reached out to hold Jiang Yan's arm, saying, "Everyone saw you coming up just now. Many people were thinking about seeing you."
The slender hand was dodged before it touched Jiang Yan. He looked at Jiang Qing, who was just sitting there quietly watching them. She didn't seem to understand and just observed silently.
Learn how Li Qianxue gets along with Jiang Yan.
Yes, Xiao Qi came back from his wandering in the vast sea of books. He took a closer look and saw Li Qianxue walking towards him with an irresistible pace. He immediately retrieved her message and sent it to Jiang Qing.
Li Qianxue, a stunning and exquisite beauty who had a one-sided love for Jiang Yan in the original world line. According to the original development, Jiang Yan did not cooperate with Li Songqing, so Li Qianxue could only stare at Jiang Yan, who would never be able to be with her, all her life.
Jiang Yan never talked about love in his short life, only work and the Jiang family. It can be said that he was a brick, moving wherever the Jiang family needed him, but he also made a name for himself outside with his own strength.
He is neither an adopted son who feels inferior and resentful because he is not a biological son of the Jiang family, nor a fool second-generation ancestor who lives off the Jiang family for free. Instead, he is a business leader who knows how to repay favors and is brave, decisive and resolute.
Therefore, she became the white moonlight hidden deep in Li Qianxue's heart. With her family background and appearance, there was never a shortage of suitors around her. Similarly, even if they admired and loved her, they would not lower themselves to pursue Jiang Yan.
And this time, because of Jiang Qing, her father and Jiang Yan came into contact, so she had a reason to get close to him.
