Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 227

When Jiang Yingyue woke up the following morning, she felt her body sore. It was so heavy that even lifting an arm was an arduous task.

She could not help but glare at the man who was lying next to her, resting as if it was the most natural thing to do, now that he had been satiated last night.

Trying to climb out of bed and head to the bathroom, Jiang Yingyue found that her body was too exhausted; that her legs were trembling and that her entire body, although washed down by Han Qingshan last night, were still sweaty after having been hugged the whole night.

While she was moving, she had to hold onto something to stabilize herself, and when she almost made it to the bathroom, she heard a chuckle behind her.

Glaring back, she found that Han Qingshan had propped his head up, resting it on one arm, and was looking at her in amusement.

There were no signs of exhaustion on his face, only sheer admiration as he looked at the many marks that were all over her body, placed there by him last night.

It was a rewarding feeling knowing that she was marked by him; everyone would know that she had a partner then.

The marks on her neck were so high that she had to wear a scarf to hide them if she was not okay with showing them off.

Jiang Yingyue did not know how many marks were left all over her body. Right now, the only thing on her mind was to enter a warm bath and soothe her aching muscles.

The bathtub was enormous, so large that she could lay down in it with no problems, and as she felt the warm water spread all over her body, she was feeling much better, but she could not help but curse Han Qingshan for being a wolf in sheep’s clothes.

Although he was so friendly and warm normally, he was so demanding at night. She was unable to withstand it all.

She was resting in the water until it started turning cold. At this point, her body had fully regained its functionality.

She stood up, dried her body and hair before she began applying her cream. After this she finished, she exited the bathroom all wrapped up in a bathrobe.

As she returned to the bedroom, she found that Han Qingshan was no longer inside, and she began to dress while feeling calm. Since he was not present, it was natural that she would get dressed without a care in the world.

She was embarrassed whenever Han Qingshan watched her getting dressed. Even though they were together and had done the deed more than once, she was not used to being seen naked.

Jiang Yingyue found that Han Qingshan had entered the study. After what had happened to her, and the fact that she had been away for so long, with him by her side and doing nothing for three days; it was natural that he had a lot of things that had stacked up and needed to be dealt with.

Jiang Yingyue went to the kitchen but there she found that there were almost no fresh products.

In the end, she made congee with lean pork and century eggs. She had made enough for both herself and for Han Qingshan, and the scent of food managed to drag Han Qingshan from the office.

“It smells so good,” he said gently. Since she had been kidnapped and until she returned, he had eaten nothing. From the time she was hospitalized and until they went home, the two of them had eaten nothing but take-out.

Now that they were home, he was worried if cooking was too dangerous for Jiang Yingyue, but knowing that she was enjoying it, he said nothing. He also missed her food.

Not long after, the two of them sat down and ate. “I need to go to the office today,” Han Qingshan apologized, but Jiang Yingyue nodded her head obediently. She understood that he had to face a lot of pressure now.

Seeing her so obedient, Han Qingshan reached out his hand and rubbed her head. “I am taking you to Mother’s place,” he said. “Being home alone all day can get boring, so play a little with my mother. She adores you like her own daughter, so I am sure you will have fun together.”

Jiang Yingyue smiled sweetly; she too liked Yan Meilin a lot. She was gentle, open, and always supportive of the two of them.

After eating, Jiang Yingyue did the dishes while Han Qingshan washed up and got ready. Then they exited the condo and went towards the Han Mansion.

Here, Yan Meilin was already waiting for Jiang Yingyue when Han Qingshan called her earlier to hear if she could spend time with Jiang Yingyue. She had been so ecstatic and excited.

She understood her son well and knew why they had to keep her company. If she was alone, it was likely that she would overthink about what had happened to her before and fall into a negative spiral.

Instead, she should have fun, and Yan Meilin instantly agreed to Han Qingshan.

“Dear Yingyue!” she called out when she saw the young woman walk towards her. “We are going shopping today,” she declared. “There is a big banquet coming up soon, for the entire Han family, and I want to take the chance to introduce you to the extended family as the young partner of Han Qingshan.”

Jiang Yingyue instantly felt nervous, but she knew it had to be done one day or another.. She nodded her head and placed a hand on her heart, trying to calm it down.
