Chapter 534: Is he about to bloom?

As soon as the other party spoke, Shen Jingjing knew he had misunderstood, so she quickly explained: "No, no, Mr. Jiang is sick, so I came over to take care of him."

Mr. Jiang?

Jiang Yuanmao muttered this address in his heart; it was clearly too distant and kept too much distance.

Although he didn't know Shen Jingjing, he knew his brother; he hated having outsiders at home the most, which was why he had never hired a nanny.

Now that this Ms. Shen appeared in his brother's home, and was cooking for him and eating with him, Jiang Yuanmao didn't believe that the two had nothing going on.

He looked at his brother: "You're sick? What's wrong?"

"A bit of a fever, just came back from the hospital after an IV drip," Jiang Yuanliang explained, and asked his brother: "What are you carrying?"

"Oh, dumplings!" Jiang Yuanmao reacted and shook the things in his hand: "The dumplings your sister-in-law made at noon, your favorite 'beef and celery' filling. They're raw; I'll put them in the freezer for you. When you're hungry later, cook them yourself. Don't always eat takeout; even the most high-end restaurant takeout isn't as clean as home."

Shen Jingjing had said the exact same thing.

So upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing and Jiang Yuanliang couldn't help but subconsciously look at each other and smile.

This inadvertent little interaction fell into Jiang Yuanmao's eyes, making him even more convinced that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

Was his brother about to bloom?

Due to Shen Jingjing's presence, Jiang Yuanmao didn't ask further. What he needed to do now was to put down the dumplings and leave immediately, so as not to be in the way here.

So he opened the fridge familiarly, skillfully arranged the dumplings, and didn't forget to remind his brother not to forget to eat them, and that they must be eaten within half a month.

"Then I'm leaving. Don't see me out; you two continue eating," Jiang Yuanmao waved his hand and specifically smiled at Shen Jingjing before leaving.

After he left, Shen Jingjing exhaled. Jiang Yuanliang saw this and said embarrassedly: "Scared you, right? Only my brother and my younger brother know the password to my place. Usually, they come over to deliver things, and they just open the door and come in when I'm not here, leave things, leave a note, and then leave."

The two sat down again. Shen Jingjing said somewhat unexpectedly: "There are three brothers in your family?"

Jiang Yuanliang nodded: "Yes, the one just now is my older brother. His health hasn't been very good for many years, and it's only been better in the last few years, so he basically hasn't participated in the company's affairs. My father handed the group directly to me back then."

"But he has a very excellent son, who is already in his twenties this year. Oh right, this nephew of mine lives in 'Wanjia Denghuo,' and I bought his wedding house. His name is Jiang Cheng, and he is also the group successor I am cultivating."

Shen Jingjing had never met this Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Yuanliang continued: "I also have a younger brother, who is also very young, twenty-seven years old, currently serving as the head of our group's artificial intelligence department. When A-Ci came to us for cooperation, she met him and had dealings with him."

The age gap between the three brothers was quite large. The eldest, Jiang Yuanmao, was already over fifty, while Jiang Yuanliang was only thirty-seven this year, and the younger brother, Jiang Yuanyu, was twenty-seven.

This was the first time Shen Jingjing had heard Jiang Yuanliang talk about his family situation, but in their parents' generation, having three or four children was normal.

Shen Jingjing herself had three siblings; besides her younger sister Shen Yingying, she also had an older brother and a younger brother.

The two ate all four dishes. Fortunately, she didn't make too much of each dish, just for fear of leftovers.

Don't know if it was the effect of the IV drip or the deliciousness of the meal, but after the meal, Jiang Yuanliang clearly felt more comfortable, especially the muscle soreness had eased a lot.

Shen Jingjing took out the medicine prescribed by the doctor, took them out one by one according to the instructions, and then poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Jiang Yuanliang: "Take the medicine and have a sleep."

Jiang Yuanliang took the water and medicine, raised his head slightly, looked at Shen Jingjing, and asked: "Are you leaving?"

"I'll leave after you wake up and confirm you're okay."

Jiang Yuanliang's eyes flashed, and then he took the medicine in his hand, after which he was urged by Shen Jingjing to go to the bedroom and lie down.

The door closed, and the excellent soundproofing meant he couldn't hear any sound outside the bedroom, but this time, lying on the bed, Jiang Yuanliang felt a sense of peace, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

This sleep was exceptionally sound, and even his dreams were light. When he opened his eyes again, the room was completely dark, with only a little light from the city nightscape outside.

A sense of nameless loneliness struck. Without too much immersion, he got up and looked at the time; he had actually slept for more than six hours.

His body had sweated a lot, but the discomfort had completely subsided, and his whole body felt light and clear, as if it had completely stretched out.

He got up, got out of bed, went into the bathroom, took another shower, changed into clothes, and then pushed the door out of the bedroom.

The living room lights were bright, and faint sounds came from the kitchen.

Shen Jingjing hadn't left. The subconscious joy instantly dispelled the loneliness he felt when he just woke up.

He walked to the kitchen door. Shen Jingjing's back was toward him, and she was lowering her head, busy with the casserole on the stove.

Jiang Yuanliang didn't make a sound, just looked at her with a calm expression, and was even mesmerized.

Until Shen Jingjing turned around and said: "Eh? You're awake?"

Jiang Yuanliang then came back to his senses: "Yes, I slept for a long time."

"That's right, slept for six or seven hours."

"I thought you had left."

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing raised her eyes, looked at Jiang Yuanliang, and smiled: "Didn't I say I would wait for you to wake up and confirm you were okay before I left? So, are you feeling better?"

Jiang Yuanliang's throat choked. He suddenly wanted to lie and say he wasn't better yet, but as soon as this thought came out, he quickly extinguished it.

"I'm much better, I don't have a fever anymore."

"Then it seems the IV drip and medicine worked. But remember to take the medicine again before going to bed tonight to consolidate it. Fevers are very easy to recur; don't take it lightly," Shen Jingjing said, turning off the gas stove: "I made some 'vegetable and lean meat porridge'."

"I saw some fresh pickles in the fridge. Did your sister-in-law make those too?" Shen Jingjing asked.

Jiang Yuanliang nodded.

Shen Jingjing used chopsticks to put some pickles into a small bowl and served porridge for both of them: "Eat, I'll go back after eating, you have a good rest."

"Thank you for staying to take care of me today," Jiang Yuanliang suddenly said.

Shen Jingjing smiled indifferently: "You're welcome, we're friends, after all."

Jiang Yuanliang also smiled, but there was an extra layer of emotion in his eyes that he might not have felt himself.

By the time everything was cleaned up, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Shen Jingjing only let Jiang Yuanliang see her to the door. When changing shoes, she didn't forget to remind him: "Don't forget to take your medicine before going to bed, and the dumplings your brother sent, cook them yourself when you wake up tomorrow."

As she spoke, she turned back and asked uncertainly: "You know how to cook dumplings, right?"

Jiang Yuanliang nodded with a smile: "Yes."

"Then I'm leaving, have a good rest."

"Hmm, send me a message when you get home."
