After Miss Zhan became Mrs. Zhan

Chapter 118 Eat Li Jingyan

"Then translate it now."

Zhan Ruoyin returned to her chair, sat upright, and looked at Li Jingyan seriously. Since Li Jingyan was so patient, she should respect him and give him a chance to perform.

Somewhere in Li Jingyan's heart softened, and he said gently, "Okay, let's start with the preface."

At the beginning, Zhan Ruoyin didn't listen very carefully, because she found that whenever Li Jingyan started talking, she couldn't help but look at Li Jingyan's face. On the one hand, he was handsome, and on the other hand, Zhan Ruoyin wanted to see if he really had patience.

Li Jingyan held the book and when he came to the bloody part, he would pause, consider changing the word, and ask Zhan Ruoyin if she could understand. Zhan Ruoyin nodded, pretending that she understood very well, but in fact her mind was not on the book at all.

"Sister-in-law, be serious and concentrate on your studies." Li Jingyan didn't look up, but lowered his eyes and spoke in a gentle voice.

He knew that Zhan Ruoyin was absent-minded without looking up.

Zhan Ruoyin blushed in embarrassment when she was found out, but she quickly adjusted herself and followed Li Jingyan's rhythm. Especially when she read about the fisherman's collapse after seeing everything on the island when he came back from outside, Zhan Ruoyin listened very carefully. Li Jingyan told the story slowly, sentence by sentence, as if he was telling a bedtime story.

Zhan Ruoyin rested her chin on her hand, her eyes like autumn pond water, staring quietly at Li Jingyan as he spoke. At that moment, Zhan Ruoyin seemed to have forgotten her hatred for Li Jingyan. In her mind, she only regarded Li Jingyan as a translator and speaker, telling stories humorously and wittily.

Zhan Ruoyin couldn't help but admire Li Jingyan's talent for languages, for being able to describe such a horrific murder process in easy-to-understand language.

When it came to the most exciting part, Li Jingyan suddenly stopped, closed the book, looked up at Zhan Ruoyin, and wanted to speak, but found that Zhan Ruoyin was staring at him. Then, Zhan Ruoyin moved her gaze away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"An hour passed so quickly? Why did the fisherman poison the islanders? Everyone on the island died, even the dogs were not spared. And why did the fisherman commit suicide? Tell me quickly. I never read suspense novels, but this book is really to my taste."

Li Jingyan looked a little apologetic, staring at Zhan Ruoyin: "Sister-in-law, are you going to break your promise? You said you would spend one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon. Now the time is up, and we can't talk any more."

Zhan Ruoyin was still unsatisfied, but had no choice: "Okay, let's continue tomorrow."

Zhan Ruoyin stood up and said, "It's very hot here. I'm sweating just sitting here. I'm going to take a shower and change clothes. Ask Butler Qian to add a sea fish dish for dinner."

Zhan Ruoyin ignored Li Jingyan's reaction, and left the study after she finished speaking. Fan Mingyang was waiting outside the door and led Zhan Ruoyin to the bedroom arranged by Butler Qian.

The bedroom was on the third floor. It was forty minutes later when Zhan Ruoyin finished her shower. As soon as she went downstairs, she smelled the aroma of meat and braised eggplant.

When Zhan Ruoyin walked to the kitchen door, she saw Li Jingyan directing Butler Qian to bring the dishes to the dining room. Two dishes were already on the table in the dining room.

When Butler Qian saw Zhan Ruoyin, he carefully held the braised eggplant as if it were some rare treasure, and smiled at Zhan Ruoyin, "Madam has finished her bath, wash your hands and have dinner. The Fourth Master personally cooked this dish. There is also health-preserving porridge in the pot with sea cucumber and abalone. Remember to drink it for your midnight snack."

Zhan Ruoyin looked at Li Jingyan sitting in a wheelchair, feeling a little helpless. Li Jingyan cooking?

He just stood up and cooked in the kitchen?

This is really unbelievable.

Li Jingyan, who has never done housework, actually cooked for her. A quick glance showed that all of them were Zhan Ruoyin's favorite dishes. What's the difference between this and seeing a ghost?

He couldn't be trying to do these things to please her, so that she would soften her heart and let him leave.

Thinking about this, Zhan Ruoyin stared at Li Jingyan warily and asked, "Why are you doing this?"

Li Jingyan blinked and asked innocently, "What?"

Zhan Ruoyin pursed her lips and said, "I asked you if there is any purpose in making these dishes?"

Li Jingyan shook his head and said honestly, "Sister-in-law came all the way here to see me, so I should show some appreciation. I made a few simple home-cooked dishes. Do you think they are not to your liking?"

The look in Zhan Ruoyin's eyes when she examined Li Jingyan was frank, not at all deep. Was it really as simple as just cooking a meal?

"No, I would be even happier if you could cook for me every day in the future." Zhan Ruoyin had tasted Li Jingyan's cooking. It seemed to be last winter. She had caught a cold, had a fever, felt nauseous, vomited continuously, couldn't eat anything, and lay in bed dying.

At that time, the relationship between me and my family was very tense. The four children were all separated from me and were unwilling to go home. They had not contacted me for a long time and naturally did not know that I was sick.

Moreover, the original body had a quarrel with Li Linzhou during that period. Li Linzhou had been living in an apartment outside and never came back to live. The original body was so angry that his body was shaking, coughing incessantly, and he had symptoms of fainting. This incident made the original body even sicker and he was bedridden.

The original person was also a stubborn person. She felt that no one cared about her and no one cared whether she was living well at home, so she was unwilling to make it public and only asked the family doctor to come and take a look. The original person was afraid of pain, so she did not receive any intravenous drips or injections. She was only prescribed some medicine to maintain her vital signs every day.

Although it was just a memory, Zhan Ruoyin felt painful and suffocated when she recalled it.

After all, she was a mother, so how could she not worry about her children? She used her remaining sanity to send messages to her four children, but they were all in draft form. She didn't dare to send them. She was afraid that there would be no response after sending them, and her children hated her and wished she would die of illness.

The original body really seemed to be dying during that period of time. She couldn't eat, refused to go to the doctor, and had heavy things in her heart. It can be said that if Li Jingyan had not been there that year and had not taken good care of her, the original body would have died of illness in bed.

I don’t know how Li Jingyan knew that the original body was sick. He took a leave from school and cooked delicious food for the original body in different ways. If the original body didn’t like the food, Li Jingyan would throw it away without thinking and continue to cook the next dish until the original body was willing to eat it.

Fortunately, Li Jingyan knew the original body's preferences very well and cooked five dishes, of which the original body could eat three.

In this way, Li Jingyan cooked for the original body every day. Knowing that the original body was concerned about the children, Li Jingyan revealed their daily information to her intentionally or unintentionally. The depression in the original body was slightly relieved. At least she could eat in those few days, and the original body had immunity to resist the disease.

Under Li Jingyan's gentle persuasion, the original body was willing to go to the hospital for treatment and was not afraid of intravenous drips and injections.

The meals we had those days were delicious, with good color, aroma and taste, and the deep flavors are preserved in my memory.

So Zhan Ruoyin really wanted to try the food cooked by Li Jingyan again.

It must taste the same as before.

Li Jingyan smiled and said, "Okay, as long as sister-in-law stays on the island for one day, I will cook for one day."

Zhan Ruoyin thought that he was just bored and volunteered to take on the cooking task.

As long as Li Jingyan could live a peaceful life on the island and not do bad things again, Zhan Ruoyin would agree even if he wanted to make trouble.

After washing her hands, Zhan Ruoyin couldn't wait to sit down in the restaurant, and Li Jingyan followed her.

Butler Qian watched the Madam and the Fourth Master having dinner with a smile on his face. He thought that the Madam would want to slap the Fourth Master twice when she saw him. Anyway, the old man was not there. Although the Fourth Master was cruel, he had a gentle personality. Even if the Madam hit him, he would not tell anyone.

But the lady did not do so. She got along very happily with the Fourth Master. She even praised the Fourth Master's cooking. The Fourth Master even picked up some dishes for the lady. Although the lady was a little disgusted, she could not resist the delicious taste and ate two bowls of rice and finished the dishes.

Looking at such a harmonious scene, Butler Qian was moved to tears: "Madam, in such a long time since coming here, the Fourth Master has never cooked for himself. He eats very simply every day, and almost no meat. I was worried that the Fourth Master would not get enough nutrition. Now it seems that if the Fourth Master eats like this, he will definitely gain weight."

Zhan Ruoyin raised her eyes and looked at Li Jingyan. Whether he gained weight or not had nothing to do with her. It was better for him to be thin. If he got a serious illness, he would die. Zhan Ruoyin would no longer worry that he would hurt others.

I heard that people with mental problems can't gain weight. I guess Li Jingyan will be like this in the future, neither thin nor fat.

Thinking of this, Zhan Ruoyin's eyes fell on Li Jingyan's chest and lower abdomen. His clothes were stretched to the point of sharp angles, and it seemed that his chest and abdominal muscles were very strong. Zhan Ruoyin was a little puzzled. He usually sat in a wheelchair, so how did he train himself into such a perfect body?

Could it be that when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, he doesn't sleep but gets up and exercises hard?

Li Jingyan noticed a pair of eyes looking at him, and raised his eyes to look at Zhan Ruoyin, only to find that Zhan Ruoyin was actually staring at his chest. His forehead twitched slightly, and he laughed:

"What are you looking at, sister-in-law? Do you think I've lost weight or gained weight?"

Zhan Ruoyin quickly came back to her senses, coughed lightly, and said expressionlessly: "I can't tell."

After saying that, he pursed his lips with his napkin, then stood up and said, "I'm full. Please clean up the dishes. I'm going to go outside and walk to digest the food."

Li Jingyan nodded and glanced at Butler Qian, who understood what he meant and quickly said, "Madam, where do you want to go? Behind the villa is a rainforest with lush trees and countless animals, including some very poisonous snakes and insects. Madam, you should try to go to the front of the villa. There is a beach in front, with the sea and sunset, which is very beautiful."

Zhan Ruoyin hesitated and said, "Aren't there measures to repel insects? There are no snakes or insects within a hundred meters around here. I won't go far."

Butler Qian wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to persuade her, "Madam, you'd better not go. The closer you are to the rainforest, the more dangerous it is. No one has ever been in there, and we don't know what's inside. So I can't let Madam be in any danger."

Seeing that Butler Qian was serious, Zhan Ruoyin dispelled many of the thoughts in her mind. She blinked and said to Butler Qian, "Okay, then I'll go for a walk in front of the villa."

I didn't expect this place to be so dangerous. Zhan Ruoyin fantasized in her heart, how great it would be if there was an unknown man-eating animal growing in the rainforest, and suddenly one day it broke into the villa and ate Li Jingyan.

Zhan Ruoyin was followed by Fan Mingyang and several bodyguards and was not afraid at all. Butler Qian led Zhan Ruoyin to the beach and was sent away by Zhan Ruoyin.

Let housekeeper Qian go back to wash the dishes. Because there is no automatic dishwasher, housekeeper Qian has been washing dishes with his simple and hardworking hands these days. Although it does not match his status, it is equivalent to working several extra jobs and getting the extra wages.

The salary given by the old man is too high. If possible, Butler Qian would like to plant flowers and grass for the Fourth Master so that he can get extra wages.

Unfortunately, the Fourth Master treasured these roses so much that he specifically asked Butler Qian to hire someone to plant and take care of them, without giving him any chance to make money.

Zhan Ruoyin walked around a few times and returned to the villa. She didn't feel tired at all. Under the pretext of visiting the villa, she walked around the three floors, knocking on the wall from time to time to check if there was a secret room or something.

But fortunately, they are all solid walls with no mezzanines.

There is no communication equipment here, and there is no one else except Butler Qian, so Li Jingyan is cut off from the outside world.

Moreover, the old man confiscated Li Jingyan's shares and all his property, and distributed them all to his four children as compensation.

If there is contact, it is because of the weekly psychological treatment, and Li Jingyan has access to a psychologist. If the psychologist is bribed by Li Jingyan and works for Li Jingyan, then that is also possible.

But Zhan Ruoyin was not worried at all, because the psychologist was Zhan Ruoyin's niece, the daughter of Zhan Ruoyin's brother, and a member of the Zhan family, so Zhan Ruoyin could naturally trust her.

Combining Li Jingyan's attitude today, Zhan Ruoyin found that he was still the same as before, gentle and polite. It was hard to tell that he was a born bad guy, nor could she tell that he had any calculations in his heart.

Zhan Ruoyin finished checking the wall and just turned around when Li Jingyan suddenly appeared behind her. Zhan Ruoyin was so scared that her heart skipped a beat and her eyes widened:

"Why are you walking without making any sound? You scared me!"

The lights in the room were dim. Li Jingyan was in a wheelchair, his face hidden in the shadows, but his superior facial features could not be erased. Li Jingyan pursed his lips and said, "What is sister-in-law doing? Is there anything on the wall that interests sister-in-law?"

Zhan Ruoyin swallowed and realized that she was too nervous. She felt extremely annoyed. Why should she be nervous? It was not like she was doing anything bad. Besides, if Li Jingyan was not so bad and unpredictable, why would she have to check here and there?

Zhan Ruoyin cleared her throat and blinked her eyes, saying, "No, I didn't do anything. I was just walking around. Didn't you go back to your room to rest? Why did you come out?"

Li Jingyan knew that Zhan Ruoyin was still worried about what he was thinking, so he saw through it but didn't say anything. He smiled and said, "I'm thirsty. Come out and have some water."

Zhan Ruoyin nodded and asked, "Do you need my help?"

After all, the refrigerator in the kitchen was very high, and Li Jingyan was sitting in a wheelchair and seemed out of reach.

Li Jingyan nodded, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law."

Zhan Ruoyin saw that Li Jingyan was really rude, so she didn't say anything. She walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. She saw a wide variety of drinks inside, including her favorite frozen white peach juice. Zhan Ruoyin's eyes lit up and she swallowed her saliva. She felt a little thirsty. She took a bottle of white peach juice and asked Li Jingyan:

"What do you want to drink?"

Li Jingyan saw Zhan Ruoyin holding a bottle of white peach juice, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He replied calmly: "Boiled water, please."

Zhan Ruoyin looked around but couldn't find any boiled water. She took a bottle of mineral water, walked to Li Jingyan, and handed it to him: "Hey, there's only mineral water."

Li Jingyan's eyes were filled with smiles: "I'm talking about mineral water, sister-in-law."

Zhan Ruoyin frowned, thinking that Li Jingyan was making fun of her, and suddenly became annoyed: "What are you laughing at? Boiled water is boiled water, and mineral water is mineral water. How can they be the same?"

Li Jingyan felt that his sister-in-law who was inexplicably angry was even cuter. He nodded and echoed Zhan Ruoyin: "Yes, sister-in-law is right. I was confused."

After hearing what Li Jingyan said, Zhan Ruoyin went back to close the refrigerator door proudly and said to Li Jingyan, "I'm going back to my room to sleep. You should go to bed early too. Get up tomorrow and continue telling me stories."
