Xu Yan frowned slightly, threw down the scalpel and chestnuts, and said to him, “Just bear with it for a moment, I’ll go get something to bandage you.”

She quickly brought a small medicine box, took out a small piece of cotton cloth, and pressed it on the wound to stop the bleeding.

Her slender fingers pinched his injured middle finger. The two of them had skin contact again. Xu Yan looked normal, but Jiang Han felt like he was electrocuted and his heartbeat quickened.

He stared at Xu Yan’s face without blinking. Her skin was white and delicate, and her eyelashes were long and curled, fluttering with her breathing. He moved his other uninjured finger, and he had an urge to kiss her.

Xu Yan reminded him, “Don’t move.”

Jiang Han swallowed, feeling guilty like a kid who was caught doing something bad.

She wrapped it with a piece of gauze and fixed it with medical tape. She put the things into the box and said to Jiang Han, “The wound is not big, so you don’t need a tetanus shot. Be careful not to touch it with water.”

Jiang Han looked at his fingers that were wrapped like silkworm chrysalis and said with some regret, “Then I can’t help you with the work.”

“It’s okay. You, the young master, can’t do this kind of work, so don’t make trouble for me.” Xu Yan picked up the medicine box and put it outside.

Jiang Han couldn’t peel the chestnuts because his hand was injured, so he had to sit in the living room. Wuyou and Wulv were running around the room, and he felt like a kid, so he picked up a cat toy to tease the two little guys.

They ran, jumped, crawled under the table, and then jumped onto his legs. He laughed with joy, completely forgetting that this was not his home.

Xu Yan continued to peel chestnuts in the kitchen, occasionally turning his head to look at the living room, and saw him smiling like the silly son of a landlord .

When she turned back again, she happened to meet Jiang Han’s eyes. He simply picked up the two kittens and went to the kitchen, standing aside and watching her work.

He felt that this atmosphere was very good and made him feel safe and at ease instantly.

Xu Yan held a chestnut in his left hand, inserted the tip of the knife into the opening with his right hand, pulled it out with a little force, and a piece of the shell fell off.

“When you were at home before, you didn’t have to do housework, right?” Jiang Han asked.

My impression is that her cooking skills are very poor and she can’t even cook noodles properly.

“These things are not difficult. You will become proficient at them after doing them a few times.” Xu Yan said nonchalantly.

Jiang Han felt a little sad. She was a top student at Canghai City Medical University and had been spoiled by her family. Who could have expected something like this to happen?

Perhaps because he had suffered a lot, he named the two adopted kittens Wuyou and Wulv .

“How did you get to Xia’an City to be a forensic doctor?” This question has been circling in his mind these days, but he never found a chance to ask it.

Xu Yan was about to answer when Jiang Han’s cell phone rang. He put the cat down and took it out of his coat pocket.

He looked at the incoming call number, then looked at Xu Yan, but didn’t answer the call.

Xu Yan felt strange, “Why don’t you answer the phone? I’m not interested in your privacy, you can go outside to answer it.”

Hearing her say this, Jiang Han swiped the phone to the answer button in front of her and asked in a deep voice, “What’s the matter?”

The call was from Jiang Qinghua , who said to his son, “Uncle Gu is inviting us to dinner tonight, you can come too.”

Jiang Han didn’t even think about it and said, “I’m not free tonight. I have to have a meeting with the media experts from Capital.”

“Don’t use work as an excuse. I asked Kang Cheng, and he said you don’t have any work plans this weekend!” Jiang Qinghua emphasized the word “any”.

Jiang Han looked a little unhappy. “There will always be temporary additions to the job. Who can predict it?”

Wuyou and Wulv felt very comfortable in his arms just now, and wanted to climb up again, so they meowed beside him.

Jiang Qinghua heard the meowing of a cat from his side and asked sharply, “Where are you now?”

Jiang Han said without any emotion, “I’m out on business, you and my mom can just go to Uncle Gu’s house for dinner. Why do you have to drag me along?”

“Jiang Han, why don’t you know?” Jiang Qinghua was so angry at his son.

“I’ll make an appointment with Shiyi some other time. That’s it for now. I’m busy.” Without waiting for Jiang Qinghua to say anything else, Jiang Han hung up the phone.

Xu Yan listened to him talking on the phone the whole time and teased, “Are you going to have a meeting with the media experts from Capital? Then Mr. Jiang has to leave quickly.”

Jiang Han picked up Wuyou and Wulv again , “Why are you walking? Experts won’t starve to death if they don’t eat with me.”

Xu Yan peeled the chestnuts for nearly two hours before he finished peeling them all. The street lights outside were already on, so he had to hurry up and cook.

Wash the pot and rinse the rice, plug in the rice cooker. Chop the chicken into small pieces, slice the ginger and garlic, heat the pot dry and pour in the oil, when the oil is hot, add the ginger and garlic slices and sauté until fragrant, then add the chicken, stir-fry until it changes color, add salt, stir-fry a few more times, add the chestnuts, add water and simmer.

When the chestnuts are cooked, add some of your favorite seasonings and serve. Xu Yan prefers simple dishes, not too complicated. Chestnuts and chicken are stewed together, one is sweet and the other is soft and sticky, and the flavors of the two ingredients can be well integrated.

Add some boiled lettuce and put the two dishes together, one is emerald green and the other is golden yellow, which is very tempting.

Jiang Han was tired from playing with the cat in the living room and fell asleep on the sofa. He didn’t wake up until Xu Yan brought out the dishes and he smelled the fragrance.

He got up from the sofa, went to the cupboard to get a bowl, and served Xu Yan a bowl of rice.

Xu Yan was surprised, “So you can take care of people too.”

“I’m not a fool.” Jiang Han said a little uncomfortably.

Xu Yan sneered, “Yeah, you just don’t have a heart.”

With delicious food in front of him, Jiang Han didn’t argue with her. He picked up a chestnut and put it in his mouth to chew it carefully. His mouth was full of sweet taste. He couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s delicious. I can finish this pot in one meal.”

Xu Yan took two bites of his meal and asked casually, “Did you really hire a media expert from Capital?”

This time it was Jiang Han who teased her, “You are so thoughtful. You can write down what I said while you are working.”

“Really?” Xu Yan asked.

“The expert is real, but he was not invited to Canghai City. I went to Capital to visit him.” Jiang Han answered her while eating.

“What big move are you planning?”

Jiang Han put down his chopsticks and looked at her with a smile on his face. “Xu Yan, do you know how to poison people? I was originally looking for you to settle the account with Wu Hongchang , but I accidentally leaked my business secrets. Do you think I lost money?”

Xu Yan had a good talk with him now, “Didn’t I tell you not to go find Wu Hongchang ? I shamelessly sacrificed my rest time to date him, isn’t that illegal? We were almost done talking, and you came to mess with it. Who is responsible for my loss? Did I ask you for it?”

“You really can’t ask me for it, Qian Kun, you are not fair in this matter.”

“So what’s your reason to come and settle accounts with me? It’s just that everyone has to make a living based on their own abilities. I didn’t kick you out and let you eat here, which is already giving you face.” Xu Yan said forcefully.

Seeing that she looked like she was about to get angry, Jiang Han decided to keep things quiet. He still wanted to have a good meal. “Well, let’s not talk about the past.”

“Humph! Why don’t you mention it? You should mention what needs to be mentioned!” Xu Yan said fiercely.

Halfway through the meal, Cheng Ji called and asked her to go to the movies.

“Watch a movie?” Xu Yan looked at Jiang Han who was sitting opposite her. “What new movies are there now?”

Jiang Han sat up straight and squinted his eyes at Xu Yan. Cheng Ji asked her to go to the movies? Did he hear it right?

Cheng Ji said, “There’s a new comedy movie that came out recently. I think it’s getting good reviews. You can go check it out.”

Xu Yan smiled at Jiang Han and said to Cheng Ji, “I don’t like watching those nonsensical comedies.”

Cheng Ji added, “There is another suspense film, which may suit your taste.”

She shook her head. “I can guess the ending of this kind of drama just by watching the beginning. Those poorly written plots can only fool laymen. I have a cat at home and don’t want to go out at night.”

Cheng Ji wanted to see her now, and suggested, “Then let’s go for a walk and take Wuyou and Wulv with us in the cat bag.”

Jiang Han bit his lip when he saw Xu Yan’s happy face. He thought to himself that if she really agreed to go out with Cheng Ji, then he wouldn’t mind doing something to make him work overtime on weekend nights.

Seeing the jealous look on the man opposite, Xu Yan lowered the corner of his mouth, “Okay, then come over. There’s a light show in the nearby park at night, take Wuyou and Wulv to join in the fun.”

Jiang Han signaled to her with his eyes, do you dare to go?

Cheng Ji readily agreed, “Okay, then you wait for me at home, I’ll be there soon.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Yan said to Jiang Han, “I’m going out with Cheng Ji in a while.”

Jiang Han took a breath, put down his chopsticks, and asked sinisterly, “What? Are you going to act like you’re in love with your boss again?”

“This doesn’t seem to be your business. Why are you unhappy?” Xu Yan said, picked up a piece of lettuce with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Knowing that she was probably trying to piss him off, Jiang Han still couldn’t help but get angry. He stood up, looked down at her, and said sarcastically, “You still can’t change your vanity habit. Do you like any man who has a little money?”

“Why are you so excited? Isn’t it my freedom to choose who I like? You came to my house for no reason and pointed fingers at me. Do you think I’m easy to bully? Do you think I’m still the young and helpless Xu Yan?” She looked up at him and said word by word.

Wuyou and Wulv listened to them talking loudly, lying on the coffee table not far away, looking at them innocently.

Xu Yan sneered, “Since Mr. Jiang thinks so, please leave here immediately and don’t let my money-grubbing smell taint your noble character and soul.”

Jiang Han immediately walked away without looking back.

After he left, Xu Yan called Cheng Ji and said, “I don’t want to go out anymore. If I take the cats to crowded places at night, they might get stressed.”

Cheng Ji didn’t want to force her, so he asked, “We have a day off tomorrow, so we can go tomorrow.”

“Jiang Han came to me just now and accidentally revealed a piece of information. He went to Capital to find a very professional media agency, and it is estimated that there will be big moves.” Xu Yan said.

“Why would he go to your place? Is this news true, or did he lie to you?” Cheng Ji asked.

Xu Yan said, “Now that Meisi Group’s sales have increased and it has seized some of Xinlan Group’s market share, how can Jiang Han just sit there and wait for death? I’m afraid it will be a life-and-death fight in the future.”

Cheng Ji sighed, “Running a business is really tiring.”
