Once Upon A One Night Stand

"I'm not running away." She pretended to be tough when she said so, but she also felt guilty. After all, she had met Li Han's grandparents, and their meeting was not pleasant. Thinking of her family, she was even more uncertain.

But as he said, it was all going to happen sooner or later. She couldn't give up now.

Besides, he was here for her.

They talked on the phone for a while. Then Ye Lihua knocked on the door and asked her to go out for dinner, so Shu Tian hung up in a hurry.

Li Han put his phone in his pocket and got out of the car and walked towards the villa.

In the guest room at the end of the second floor, the curtains were drawn. Then the curtains behind the french windows, where Jiang Chujing hid, moved slightly. She had been standing there since Li Han sat in the car.

She knew that he must be calling that bitch, Shu Tian.

Her eyes were filled with jealousy and were so fierce that they almost burst into flames.

Fortunately, Shu Tian had already left. Jiang Chujing was the only one that Li Han could see since he couldn't see Shu Tian these days.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chujing calmed down a lot. Although she could not go out and could only stay in the villa, as long as Li Han was with her, everything was not so unbearable.

Jiang Chujing pushed the door open and walked out of the guest room. Just as she was about to go downstairs, she stopped when she passed by the master bedroom. Shu Tian and Li Han had been living in this room before, but now Shu Tian had left....

Jiang Chujing was scheming for something when she was standing there. After staring at the room for a few seconds, she went downstairs without an unusual expression.

Li Han had just changed his shoes at the door. It was almost two o'clock but he hadn't had lunch yet. Jiang Chujing walked up to him. "Han, do you want Nanny Li to cook something for you?" "No, I have a teleconference later."

"You still a teleconference?"

"It's a conference with an overseas company, the last meeting before the end of the year." Li Han was in a good mood and answered all her questions, but he didn't talk too much and kept a distance from her. "Are you having dinner at home tonight?" Seeing that he was going upstairs, Jiang Chujing hurriedly stopped him. As if she was afraid that he would refuse her, she asked first, "We used to make dumplings at home during the New Year. Although it will just be the two of us this year, can you... Be with me?"

She deliberately lowered her tone, as if she was begging him. The loneliness in her tone made him think that if her parents were still alive...

Li Han took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and replied. "OK."

After that, he turned around and went up to the study on the third floor.

Jiang Chujing looked at his back, and the corners of her lips slightly moved up. And just as she was about to tell Nanny Li to prepare the dumpling stuffing, she turned around and met Nanny Li's slightly aged eyes.

Her face went still for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. "Nanny Li, you heard everything."

Nanny Li clearly saw that Jiang Chujing was pitiful at first, but then became complacent the next second. Even at her age, Nanny Li thought that it was so terrifying.

She had never liked Miss Jiang, but she did not expect Jiang Chujing to be so scheming.

"Nanny Li, what's wrong?" Just as Nanny Li was thinking about it, Jiang Chujing had already walked up to her.

Nanny Li came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly. "Nothing. I suddenly remembered that there was no meat at home. I'll go out and buy some later."

Seeing that she was leaving, Jiang Chujing said, "Nanny Li, don't worry. I will treat you well at home in the future."

Nanny Li suddenly became nervous. She knew that she was just a worker and had no right to speak. In fact, what Jiang Chujing said was somewhat a warning.

But...

Nanny Li turned around and smiled at her. "Miss Jiang, I'm just a servant. It's all the same to me."

Hearing this, Jiang Chujing nodded with satisfaction. "Go ahead to do you stuff."

Nanny Li walked quickly into the kitchen and closed the door. She propped her hands on the cold surface of the counter, wondering whether she should warn Shu Tian or not.

She realized that Miss Jiang did not regard Mr. Li as her brother, but as her man!

[...]

At seven o'clock in the evening, Nanny Li brought the dumplings to the table. She made two kinds of dumplings, carrots with mutton, and Spanish mackerel. Mr. Li liked to eat fish, so he liked Spanish mackerel

more.

Jiang Chujing also specially asked Nanny Li to cook a few more dishes for the New Year, so Nanny Li made ribs, meatballs, and shrimps, which were all common dishes for New Year's Eve.

Jiang Chujing called Li Han down and put some of every dish into his bowl as if she were asking for credit. "Han, eat it while it's still hot."

Li Han looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table. Nanny Li, as the most competent maid, was really good at cooking. Every dish was decent, which made him want to enjoy them.

He had a Spanish mackerel dumpling. The meat was delicate and it was flavored with a little leek. Although it was light, he liked it very much. "Not bad."

Since he liked it, Jiang Chujing was in a better mood. She kept giving him food. Li Han couldn't stop her, so he just gave in.

It was a nice meal. After it, Li Han watched TV with Jiang Chujing for a while, during which he answered a phone call. It should have something to do with business and it took him more than half an hour. After he hung up, he looked at the brightly lit house and felt a little empty. The woman who liked to be busy at home had left for the time being, and the house seemed much more empty.

He looked at the furnishings in the living room, the calendar on the table, the vase on the wine cabinet, and the red Chinese knot on the middle of the wall. Unknowingly, there were already so many things about her.

Li Han was suddenly frightened by his depression. It had only been a few days since he hadn't seen her. But he cared about her so much that he would be laughed at if others knew about it.

"Han, come in. It's cold outside." Jiang Chujing turned to him, who was standing by the window and reminded him.

Only then did Li Han walk in. He looked at her quietly and thought that something was strange about her tonight, but he just couldn't tell it.

The feeling lasted until almost early in the morning. It was not until he got up from bed that Li Han realized what was wrong.

At three o'clock in the morning, he got up and went to the bathroom. At night, he drank some black tea, so his stomach was a little bloated. The lights in the bedroom were not on. Everything in front of him was blurry, and he could not see it clearly.

Coming back from the bathroom, he turned off the bathroom light and walked to the bed in the dark. He lay down and the soft bed bounced.

Soon, he became sleepy, and his eyelids gradually closed. But then he opened his eyes and sobered up. He frowned slightly and lifted the quilt off his body at once. Sensing something strange around him, he turned around and saw Jiang Chujing sleeping on the other side, where Shu Tian used to sleep.
