Chapter 68 Is this progress a bit too fast?
"Mengyan, what's wrong? You haven't looked happy since this afternoon. Is there something wrong?"
Lin Han had just come out after washing the fruits and saw Jiang Mengyan sitting on the sofa with a frown on her face. So he sat down, put his arm around her shoulders and asked.
".It may sound a bit petty and unethical."
Jiang Mengyan hesitated for a while, and finally said:
“When Han Mengfei came here to cancel her leave today, I felt that she was not just here to cancel her leave.
She can submit her leave application directly on the academic affairs system. Just upload the sick note and it will be done. There is no need to wait for a week and come to see me alone.
I know it's inappropriate to speculate about your students like this, but I also think she does have other intentions. You see, the last time she came to see you, her skirt was almost up to her chest.
You even mentioned this matter today, and made me sound so pitiful, isn’t it just to make me feel guilty?”
Jiang Mengyan pursed her lips, looking unhappy.
"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be because of her."
Lin Han smiled helplessly:
"You're worried about her. In essence, you're worried that I'll be bewitched by her little acting skills, right?"
Jiang Mengyan pouted and hesitated for a while, but finally nodded:
"People on the Internet say that it's hard for boys to tell if a girl has ulterior motives. So I have to keep a closer eye on her."
"That's all a lie, you little fool."
Lin Han smiled and rubbed Jiang Mengyan's face:
"Boys are not fools, how can they not tell which situation is good for them?
Such statements are just excuses for the scumbag to clear himself. He wants more.
Your husband is a good man who keeps himself clean and will not be seduced by such petty tricks, don't worry."
"."
Jiang Mengyan pursed her lips and looked at him with moist eyes, obviously doubting Lin Han's statement.
"Look, when she came over today, apart from calling me at the end, did I even look at her?"
Lin Han smiled and said:
“In their eyes, I may be a senior, but in my case, I am already the father of two children and your husband.
If I am shaken by such small details, I really don’t deserve the title of father and husband.”
".Don't talk nonsense. If you are not worthy, then no one is worthy."
Jiang Mengyan quickly stretched out her hand and covered Lin Han's mouth, preventing him from continuing to speak.
"Then don't worry about such trivial matters anymore, okay? I'm also very sad that you don't trust me like this."
Lin Han imitated Jiang Mengyan's expression, and as expected, he was beaten violently by Jiang Mengyan's fist:
"Don't imitate me!"
However, after this commotion, Jiang Mengyan was no longer obsessed with this issue.
It's normal to worry, but you should also give your partner enough trust.
"By the way, you said this afternoon that you had some ideas about Professor Cui's list. Can you tell me about it?"
Lin Han asked as he helped Jiang Mengyan install the digital tablet.
"Ah."
Jiang Mengyan nodded, tore off a piece of draft paper, picked up a pen and scribbled a few strokes on it, and a simple sketch appeared on the paper.
"Plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. Four gentlemen?"
"Correct."
Jiang Mengyan nodded, then circled the bamboo and orchid:
“Professor Cui’s sister-in-law is also a teacher in the Chinese Department. She has loved classical culture since she was a child, so the first thing I thought of was the Four Gentlemen.
However, if you want to use plum and chrysanthemum among these four, you must use colored gems of other colors as embellishments, which would be too gorgeous.
I think it doesn’t quite match Professor Cui’s requirements for quietness and elegance, so I’m still focusing on orchids and bamboos.”
She started writing again, sketching out a bamboo-shaped bracelet on the draft paper: "As for the bracelet, I'm thinking of using this kind of bamboo bracelet, but as for the matching gemstones, there are a few other pieces, and I don't have a better idea for now.
After all, gold itself is a very noble metal, and it is not easy to make something plain with it.”
"really."
Lin Han nodded:
"Your idea for the Four Gentlemen is very good. I think the general direction of the bamboo bracelet can be completely determined. As for the matching gemstones, I would choose mutton-fat jade for the bracelet.
The meaning of gold inlaid with jade is very good and very suitable for weddings. Moreover, the plain compatibility of gold and mutton-fat jade is also good. The bracelet can be basically decided with these two materials.
As for the detailed design, it's up to you."
"Use fine white mutton-fat jade? It's really good."
Jiang Mengyan's eyes lit up, she nodded, and quickly wrote down these small details on paper.
Then he raised his head and looked at Lin Han expectantly:
“What other gemstones are better than gold?
When I designed those jewellery before, I mostly matched the colours based on my own sense of colour, and I didn’t understand the texture of the coloured gemstones. Can you tell me about it?”
"Okay."
Lin Han smiled:
"Come on, let's go to the workshop and I'll pick a few to show you their luster and texture."
Jiang Mengyan has actually been interested in colored gemstones for a long time, but she was reluctant to buy them and no one introduced her to them.
It was a rare opportunity to have an "expert" like Lin Han willing to teach her from the beginning, and she was so happy.
After listening to the lecture in the workshop for a long time, I returned to the study and began to draw passionately again.
It's almost midnight and there's no sign of going to sleep.
"Professor Jiang, this is the third time I've come to urge you to go to bed. If you don't get up and go back to your bedroom and lie down obediently within a minute, I will consider confiscating your drawing tablet and drawing materials."
Lin Han stood at the door of the study, looking at Jiang Mengyan who was writing furiously with a mixture of anger and amusement.
"Oh! No, no, no! I'll sleep. Can't I sleep?"
She hurriedly saved the draft, turned off the computer, and ran back to the bedroom at the speed of light.
She was afraid that Lin Han would really confiscate her precious new device.
"Lin Han, I have already designed the first draft of the bracelet. The digital tablet is really useful! It is very good at outlining and coloring."
Lying in bed, Jiang Mengyan couldn't help her excitement and kept telling Lin Han about her experience.
Although he is already a mature adult, he is as excited as a child who just got a toy.
Lin Han just listened to her, and as he listened, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
"I've thought it through. I don't have to go to work tomorrow. I want to..."
Jiang Mengyan chattered excitedly for a long time, but her expression suddenly became stiff and she stopped talking.
"what happened?"
Lin Han noticed something was wrong and asked worriedly, "Are you tired from staying up too late today?"
"Shh! Don't move or talk. Wait a moment."
Jiang Mengyan widened her eyes and stopped Lin Han with a very serious expression. She did not speak any more, as if she was concentrating on waiting for something.
Lin Han was worried, but Jiang Mengyan didn't let him speak, so he could only lie aside and worry.
