Chapter 1141: You May Stay
Chen Jiahang went to the kitchen while Lin Ziya continued resting in the living room.
Her feet didn’t hurt as much after Chen Jiahang dressed her wound and she could put some weight on her foot.
She noticed several drawings hanging on the wall as well as a portrait of a deceased elderly man.
She guessed that the man in the portrait was probably the person who saved Shaoqian.
She suddenly clasped her hands together and bowed at the portrait.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving Shaoqian,” she said soundlessly.
Then, she wiped at the corner of her eye and was surprised when her hand was wet with tears.
She cried many times over the past few years and she always felt extremely upset whenever she thought of Shaoqian. She could not forget about Shaoqian and thus, she was not able to start a new relations.h.i.+p.
She knew that no other man would be able to be as perfect as Shaoqian, neither would there be another man who would treat us as well as Shaoqian did.
Lin Ziya looked at the drawings on the wall and noticed that there were scenic drawings as well as sketches.
A sketch suddenly caught her attention and she studied the man in the sketch intently.
A man leaned against a wooden chair and carried a book in his hand. He looked as though he was deeply engrossed in the book. He had a handsome face and his features were so exquisite as though he was a sculpture.
It was Shaoqian! She was sure that the person in the sketch was none other than Shaoqian. His focused and serious expression, his deep, black eyes, and his thinly pursed lips marked him out as Shaoqian.
This was a wonderful sketch!
Lin Ziya felt as though this sketch had truly captured the essence of Shaoqian.
She was about to exclaim in wonder when she noticed the string of words written on the sketch.
The words were ‘The night of 20th January 2025, by He Xiyan’.
He Xiyan?
Lin Ziyan couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver when she noticed the artist’s name and her phone fell with a clatter onto the floor.
She froze in surprise and her eyes widened.
She suddenly couldn’t help but recreate the scene of the night when this sketch was created.
It was a cold, wintry night, and Shaoqian and He Xiyan were seated together in the porch cooking meat and drawing. They might have even…
Lin Ziya immediately smacked her head as her imagination started to go wild. She refused to let herself think of such terrible things.
She was both upset and jealous.
She hated how He Xiyan was so important to Shaoqian. If it hadn’t been for He Xiyan, Shaoqian would have definitely come looking for her the moment he recovered his memories and they would have been married a year ago.
He Xiyan, I sincerely hope you wouldn’t let Shaoqian think he still has a chance with you. Please get back together with one of your ex-husbands.
It would be best if they all got on with their lives and stayed away from each other’s lives.
Chen Jiahang hesitated for a long while before he finally decided to let Lin Ziya stay over in the large bedroom on the right. This was the room that he used to share with Yan Yan.
The smaller bedroom was simply furnished and had not been lived in for more than a year. He knew that Lin Ziya would not be able to stay in that room.
“Ziya, you should turn in early today. I’ll wake you up for breakfast tomorrow and send you to Ming City,” Chen Jiahang said calmly as he dug out a s.h.i.+rt for Lin Ziya to wear to sleep.
