Chapter 31 -31 The More Attractive, the More Dangerous

Qin Jingchen’s voice came, “Cousin, your milk…”

“Thank you, but I’ll pass this time. You take good care of Xiaozhe for me.” Qin Feng thanked him with a smile, turned around, and left.

Qin Jingchen handed the green tea to Jiang Zhe, “Try this tea.”

Jiang Zhe was not surprised to find him there, she had already noticed upon entering that the decor style did not suit Qin Feng at all.

It was too simplistic, with a faint sandalwood scent.

It must have been Qin Feng who intentionally borrowed this place for her to come to.

Jiang Zhe took a sip of the tea, “It’s not bad.”

Qin Jingchen smiled, liking to wear white, he had his own pride, “I’ll get some fruit. You sit first.”

A moment later, he returned with the fruit.

In the white jade porcelain fruit plate were washed cherries.

Each cherry came with a fresh stem, paired in twos and placed together, not separated.

There were no single ones, nor any clusters of three.

Jiang Zhe looked up at Qin Jingchen, who offered no explanation, but just pushed the plate toward her.

She liked cherries, and during their recent meals, she always chose only cherries for dessert.

A small habit picked up unintentionally, he had observed closely and remembered it all.

“Even numbers?” Jiang Zhe was about to pick up some gum instead, but she took two cherries and popped them into her mouth.

“Yes, even numbers. It seems you like them quite a bit,” he remarked.

Jiang Zhe picked up another two, “When did you notice?”

“Last time when reviewing your papers, some were scored zero, others had one problem attempted. I guessed you don’t like odd numbers. If there is an odd number of problems on the test, you’d randomly solve one to make the remaining problems even. And the gum you gave me.”

Jiang Zhe couldn’t help but smile, the first time she gave Qin Jingchen a piece of gum, it was because there was an odd number in her gum container.

She always had two pieces at a time, and odd numbers irritated her.

When she actually offered gum to someone, she would also give out two pieces.

From a few simple incidents, Qin Jingchen pieced together the truth—Jiang Zhe was an extreme enthusiast of even numbers.

In short, she disliked odd numbers and preferred evens.

For things she could control, she would try to make them even as much as possible.

So it was said that this man was like water, seemingly accommodating everything, yet also like water, he hid turbulent depths. Jiang Zhe’s little habits, unnoticed by others for so many years, couldn’t stay hidden for long before him.

After eating most of the cherries, Jiang Zhe stood up to leave.

Outside, to her surprise, a heavy rain had started. The sky, which had been clear just before, was now densely clouded, darkening the heavens.

Jiang Zhe thought that such a summer-like downpour wouldn’t last long, but today’s rain had the vigour of summer and the persistence of autumn rain, continuing without end.

“There are plenty of empty rooms in Lushan Courtyard, stay here tonight. As for dinner…” Qin Jingchen opened the fridge and glanced inside, “There’s dumplings, noodles, steak—what do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine.” Jiang Zhe glanced at the rain outside and looked down at her phone.

She had just sent a message to JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

The reply from the other side came back swiftly and urgently, “You mean to say, we retrieved the medication last time, but the recipe was leaked?”

“Right. What is the employee principle at JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute?”

“We know what to do, we absolutely won’t tolerate anyone violating the principles.”

Qin Jingchen approached her, “Jiang Zhe.”

“Hmm?” She lifted her eyes, and her overly bright pupils met Qin Jingchen’s.

As his gaze bore into her, she pursed her lips slightly.

“I want to record your voice. There’s no need for you to say anything specific, just whatever you’re saying here. I’ll record it. Do you agree?”

Jiang Zhe sat, and he leaned forward, closing the distance so that he was near her upturned face.

They were mere inches apart.

Qin Jingchen’s Adam’s apple shifted subtly.

“OK. Record whatever you want.” Jiang Zhe didn’t oppose. She was tired of looking up and quickly lowered her head. This close, the scent of hormones thankfully overpowered the smell of sandalwood, dangerous and enchanting.

“Good.” Qin Jingchen turned on a recording pen and set it aside.

Jiang Zhe didn’t ask why, as if everything was unimportant and indifferent to her.

Qin Jingchen turned up the air conditioner and handed her a blanket.

Jiang Zhe hadn’t felt cold, but when Qin Jingchen offered her the blanket, she remembered that the temperature at Lushan Courtyard was several degrees lower than in the city, not to mention the downpour.

She took it and covered her legs, and indeed, she felt much warmer.

…

As soon as Qin Feng left, he immediately called Tang Jianxi.

Tang Jianxi arrived at Qin Feng’s place very quickly.

“What exactly is the medicine you’ve been giving me recently?” Qin Feng’s complexion was cool, sending chills down one’s spine.

“Qin Feng, listen to my explanation…” Tang Jianxi seemed somewhat flustered.

“Then explain.” Qin Feng was nonchalant, his overall aura unfazed by his pregnancy.

Pressured by her gaze, Tang Jianxi became emotional: “I’m your best friend, as well as the godmother of your child in your womb. I’m definitely doing what’s best for you. The medicine I gave you was formulated from a prescription at the JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute!”

“Without clinical trials?” Qin Feng’s tone was pressing.

Tang Jianxi turned pale: “Don’t you trust me more than some outsider?”

Qin Feng didn’t know how to answer that question, or rather, Jiang Zhe’s importance, merely by the fact that Qin Jingchen trusted her, was extraordinary.

“You said we are best friends, and my child would call you godmother.” Qin Feng said, “As of now, that’s not the case anymore.”

“Qin Feng!” Tang Jianxi couldn’t believe it, “Are you really going to be this ruthless? Isn’t it enough that you got me fired from JZ Pharmaceutical Research Institute, and now this?”

Qin Feng hadn’t interfered with the matters of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.

Nevertheless, she didn’t deny it, presumably Qin Jingchen did it.

If Qin Jingchen did it, she, as his cousin, could bear the responsibility. What was there to acknowledge about that?

…

Qin Jingchen snapped a photo of the food in the fridge and sent it to Fen Ye: “Have your auntie plan a menu based on this.”

“Bro Jingchen, can’t you just look it up online?”

“There are too many differing opinions online.”

Fen Ye bolted upright from the sofa, wait a minute, this wasn’t a matter of looking it up online, when had Bro Jingchen ever needed a menu?

Realizing what was going on, Fen Ye quickly typed out a message: “Bro Jingchen, is Jiang Daji in your room?”

As soon as Qin Jingchen saw the message, Fen Ye retracted it and sent another one: “Bro Jingchen, is it your sister-in-law who’s there?”

“You have three minutes,” Qin Jingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Three minutes later, Qin Jingchen received a menu.

Remembering those three words Fen Ye sent, they were quite fitting, indeed seductive and perilous.

But she wouldn’t be a Jiang Daji; her fate won’t be so tragic.
