12 When the sponsor eats, I turn the table; when the sponsor opens the door, I get in the car.

"You... uh," Jiang Lai smiled at Shen He'an awkwardly but politely: "Why did you buy me a house?"

She glanced around, not daring to look directly into Shen He'an's eyes. Naturally, she didn't know that Shen He'an's eyes at this moment didn't have any scrutiny, but with a slight smile, his expression when looking at her was almost doting.

She was angry, but Shen He'an found that she couldn't get angry when she saw Jiang Lai. The person in front of her looked guilty, and everything was written on her face. She was so silly and cute, what could she be thinking?

It was nothing more than that the sense of security he gave her was not enough, and he didn't let her feel the real feeling of "home", so she would buy a house privately. It was all his fault, so why blame his Xiaoman?

Seeing that Shen He'an didn't speak, Jiang Lai was so guilty that she could only hide her discomfort by lowering her head to eat.

Chen Hean watched her absentmindedly stuffing food into her mouth until she looked like a little squirrel, sighed softly, then leaned over to pick up Jiang Lai and put her on his lap.

Jiang Lai hugged his neck, lowered her head in silence, and continued to chew. His

expression did not change, he just scooped up a spoonful of rice and handed it to Jiang Lai's mouth, saying softly: "Didn't I tell you that you can't be impatient when eating, you have to chew it up before swallowing. Why are you eating so fast?"

Jiang Lai swallowed the food in her mouth and followed Chen Hean's hand to eat.

Chen Hean was very patient, with one hand on her waist and the other hand to control the time she needed to chew the food, and handed her the next spoonful at the right time without rushing or slowing. Because she felt guilty, Jiang Lai ate whatever Chen Hean fed her, even carrots that she usually didn't like to eat.

This was not the first time Chen Hean fed her.

The first time Shen Hean fed her was the second month after she came to where he lived. At that time, they maintained an even weirder relationship than now - that is, Shen Hean began to manage her, began to care about her studies, and asked about her behavior, but only verbally.

Shen Hean still strictly maintained their relationship at that time. When he said something caring about her, he always spoke as a "veteran". When he talked to her, he would mostly start with "I suggest", which was very sensible.

At that time, Jiang Lai had not been with him for a full month, and Shen Hean's attitude towards her had always been distant. She did not dare to behave too much, so she could only secretly increase the opportunities for the two of them to get along, create some physical contact, and play a warm water boiling frog.

Her illness was an accident. After all, Jiang Lai was afraid of pain and suffering, and it took a long time for her to be able to sprain her ankle. It was probably when the seasons changed, and her body became a little weak in the past two years because of her own carelessness. She caught a cold without paying attention.

Jiang Lai had not been sick for a long time, and this time she was sick with great force. On the first night, she thought that she would be fine after taking antipyretics, but she had a high fever again in the middle of the night.

Jiang Lai did not take this opportunity to perform at that time, because she was really uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she just wanted to stay in bed and hide herself. She didn't want to act, she didn't want to pretend, she just wanted to be vulnerable for once.

But she was still discovered by Shen He'an.

Since there was one more person in the family, Shen He'an began to worry about whether Jiang Lai had eaten on time and whether she had attended classes on time. He himself couldn't explain why he was so worried, maybe because he felt sorry for Jiang Lai.

In short, worry is worry. Shen He'an is very open-minded about everything and will not deliberately worry about anything. Since he is worried, he cares.

He has Jiang Lai's schedule and knows that she has to go to class in the morning, but he is going out and there is no movement in the room.

He hesitated for a while, but still chose to go upstairs to wake her up.

Chen He'an had not been to Jiang Lai's room at that time. After all, there is a difference between men and women. He has always kept a distance from Jiang Lai and did not want to develop any ambiguous relationship with Jiang Lai.

However, there is only one cook aunt at home. Since she is called a cook aunt, she only has the task of cooking. Chen He'an did not want to increase other people's work, so he finally chose to go upstairs by himself.

He knocked on the door three times, but there was no response from the room.

Chen He'an frowned slightly, moved closer, called "Jiang Lai" several times, and then a weak "um" came from the door.

Chen He'an noticed that Jiang Lai's voice was a little wrong, and his heart sank a little. He whispered "I'm coming in", waited for two seconds and pushed open the door when there was no response. As

soon as he opened the door, he saw a bulge in the quilt. The temperature in the room was a little high, and the air was stuffy, probably because the doors and windows were closed.

Chen He'an did not approach immediately, but stood at the door and asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling unwell?"

The person in the quilt answered him weakly: "Yes, I have a fever."

Jiang Lai's voice was hoarse and weak, and she sounded dying. Chen He'an hesitated for two seconds, but still walked towards her bed, and then he saw that the person in the quilt covered the quilt tightly, leaving only the part above the nose.

But just looking at the exposed skin, it can be seen that Jiang Lai's face is a little flushed, and her brows are tightly furrowed. She looks very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Jiang Lai is uncomfortable, Chen He'an's heart tightened for some reason. The hand hanging by his side subconsciously stretched out to feel the temperature of her forehead, but restrainedly retracted it the moment his fingers moved slightly.

Jiang Lai was already a little confused due to the fever at that time. She only knew that Shen He'an had come to her room and asked her some questions, such as whether she had taken medicine, what medicine she had taken, and when the fever started...

Jiang Lai was in great pain at that time, and she could not consider that the person standing beside the bed was the one she wanted to conquer. She just felt that the chattering in her ears was noisy and annoying, so she answered perfunctorily, pulled the quilt to cover herself, and asked Shen He'an not to disturb her rest.

Later, Shen He'an seemed to have gone out, and when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, the door was pushed open again. Then she was helped up by a warm and dry big hand, and then a mouthful of white porridge was fed to her mouth.

Jiang Lai was very resistant, saying that she had not brushed her teeth yet and could not eat; she also said that she had no appetite and did not want to eat, so she asked Shen He'an to go out and not to worry about her.

Chen Hean didn't know why he was so patient at that time. After listening to her impatient words, he didn't mean to get angry at all. Instead, he gently put the bowl on her bedside, then leaned over to pick her up and took her to the bathroom to wash.

Jiang Lai didn't remember the scene of that day very clearly. After all, she was really sick that day. She only remembered that Chen Hean seemed to be taking care of her all the time. After brushing her teeth, she still said that she had no appetite and didn't want to eat, so he fed her porridge spoonful by spoonful; when she was in a bad mood, he gently called her "Xiao Man" and asked her to be good and obedient...

The first change in their relationship started from that day, at least for Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai is a very smart and sensitive person. She can perceive that Chen Hean has different feelings for her, even if that emotion is compassion and pity for her, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, she was the kind of person who could start a dyeing factory if she was given a little color, so she was naturally very good at taking advantage of others. From that day on, she began to walk down the road of unscrupulousness and never looked back. When the sponsor ate, she turned the table, when the sponsor opened the door, she got in the car, and when the sponsor drank water, she braked...

Then she found that Shen He'an had never really been angry with her, and the relationship between the two people became closer because of this. Even if she slapped Shen He'an's butt, she would at most be scolded, saying that she was not a lady and that she was not decent.

Jiang Lai ignored all these words. In her eyes, Shen He'an was a paper tiger.

But the facts proved that a paper tiger is also a tiger. Shen He'an is still quite scary sometimes. Of course, the reason why Shen He'an is scary is that she is guilty, because she bought a house behind the back of the sponsor.

Jiang Lai has read many novels about domineering CEOs. Buying a house behind the back of the sponsor is a taboo, because it means that the lover can escape the control of the sponsor. How can this be possible? The sponsor is on top and I am on the bottom. Whether it is in bed or under the bed, lovers should have their own positions.

But Jiang Lai really wants a home of her own. The Jiang family is not her home. Although her mother used to be there, no one in the Jiang family regarded her as their own family. What she saw was either indifference or neglect.

After her mother passed away, the Jiang family was no longer her home.

As for Shen Hean... Jiang Lai didn't know whether she and Shen Hean would be able to succeed in the future. In fact, she had a hunch that it was unlikely to succeed. She would leave Shen Hean one day, maybe one day she wanted to leave, or maybe one day Shen Hean wanted to drive her away.

In this case, Jiang Lai wanted to leave herself a way out. A person must have roots to gain a foothold in this world. She no longer had any relatives in this world, and there was no place that belonged to her where she could live. Then she really had nowhere to go.

Jiang Lai had thought that Shen Hean would find out that she had bought a house without his knowledge. But she had already thought of the reason. She said that she wanted to experience the happiness of being a landlady. Anyway, she probably had the image of a money-loving person in Shen Hean's eyes.

But in the end, Shen Hean didn't even ask her.

He just gave her the two property certificates and asked her to put them away; and asked her what gift she wanted next time.

Jiang Lai didn't know whether Chen He'an knew that she had bought a house, but no matter whether he knew or not, as long as Chen He'an didn't say anything, she would pretend that she didn't know.

"Next time, next time..." Jiang Lai recovered from her guilty conscience, and her mind began to become active again.

She glanced at the closed door of the office, and then at Chen He'an's plump chest muscles wrapped in only a shirt after he took off his coat to eat: "Not next time."

Jiang Lai winked at Chen He'an: "How about now?"

Then she whistled: "A limited edition gift for the office, hehe."
