Chapter 299: Air Hug

Her gentle voice wafted past like a light breeze, carrying with it a trace of sadness.

Yu Gangan remembered that when she asked about Fang Zhihan’s parents, he told her that his parents were dead.

At that time, she thought he made up a lie to trick her uncle. But, it seemed, he had told the truth. No wonder she never saw his and Jiang Qi’s parents when she came to their home.

Yu Gangan comforted gently, “I’m sorry for reminding you of something sad.”

Jiang Qi shook her head and smiled. With her hands on her chest, she replied, “It’s fine, my father may not be around, but he will forever be in my heart.”

“You don’t need to worry about Elder Jiang’s condition too much. It’s obvious that his mood has improved over the last two days. From now on, spend more time with him when you’re free. He will gradually open up and understand that his son is gone and he should focus on those that are still living.”

“You should spend time with him too. He really likes you.”

Yu Gangan was quite surprised, “He likes me?”

This was, perhaps, the strangest ‘truth’ she heard all year.

Jiang Qi smiled and replied, “Of course. He’s been asking me about you the last two days. He’s curious about your relationship with my brother and how you are doing at the medical association. It’s the first time I’ve seen my grandfather so curious about a person, yet acting indifferent. My grandfather used to hate talking about anything except business. It feels good now. If my brother…”

She suddenly paused.

She then smiled sadly at Yu Gangan, “My brother doesn’t like me, but after my parents left, all I have is him.”

“Why do you say that? Fang Zhihan’s quite good to you.”

“My brother has always felt that my mother and I caused his mother’s death…it seems, it might be true…” as she spoke, tears began to fall from Jiang Qi’s eyes.

Yu Gangan had the impression that rich young ladies were all impressive and proud. But, Jiang Qi was definitely the soft kind.

Her body was delicate and slender and she was dressed in a lot of clothes on this winter’s day. But, they all looked thin and soft. A girl like this made people want to protect her at first glance.

“Don’t think like that. Fang Zhihan just doesn’t like to talk nor smile and he simply looks cold. If he doesn’t like you, he wouldn’t have told you to rest the other night. It’s clear that he cares a lot about you,” Yu Gangan comforted.

Jiang Qi took a deep breath and smiled as her eyes cleared up, “R-Really?”

Yu Gangan nodded, “You are his sister. If he doesn’t treat you well, then who would he treat well?”

Jiang Qi chuckled, “Of course you, Sister-in-law.”

Her voice was very quiet when she said this.

But, Yu Gangan still heard it, “…”

Such a gentle girl actually knew how to tease someone?

Her gentleness was just a cover.

She was indeed family with Fang Zhihan!

…

That evening, outside Beijing’s famous Palace Restaurant, Ye Xi stood outside with anticipation. Every now and then, he would shove his hands in his pockets, displaying his obvious excitement.

When Yu Gangan and Fang Zhihan arrived, he immediately ran over and tried to hug Fang Zhihan, but Fang Zhihan avoided him.

He then tried to hug Yu Gangan, but Fang Zhihan immediately pulled her away.

He looked coldly at Ye Xi, his voice cold like ice, “What are you doing?”

Ye Xi was terrified. Did his idol misunderstand him? So, he quickly said, “Give me an air hug.”

Fang Zhihan: “…”

Yu Gangan: “…”
