After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 112 Where is the Problem?
Chapter 112: Chapter 112 Where is the Problem?
The time goes back to yesterday evening, on the car leaving Xiyuan.
The atmosphere inside the carriage was inexplicably oppressive.
Assistant He drove the car with barely a breath of air dared.
Only when waiting for the green light at the intersection did he muster the courage to speak: "Madam..."
"Call me Miss Jiang."
"Yes, Miss Jiang." Assistant He secretly encouraged himself, then cautiously asked, "Was there some unpleasantness in your communication with the boss just now?"
This concerned how he should better respond when reporting work to the boss tomorrow!
Jiang Lingxi withdrew her gaze from the car flow outside the window and looked into the rearview mirror inside the car, "As an assistant, you not only have to be busy with work but also care about the boss’s mental and physical well-being?"
Assistant He couldn’t help but dodge slightly, smiling along, "Mainly our boss, right. Usually, it’s hard to see if he’s angry or in a good mood. As subordinates, sometimes we have to guess."
Jiang Lingxi rested her chin in thought, murmuring, "Really?"
"Seems like your boss’s thoughts are quite deeply hidden."
Regarding Jiang Lingxi’s conclusion, Assistant He only dared to agree in his heart, absolutely not daring to nod.
"It wasn’t anything unpleasant." Jiang Lingxi leaned back against the seat.
Intuition told her that Shen Yunqing’s mood should be alright, but in her heart, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
But to say why she felt awkward, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
In short, it just felt uneasy.
Seeing that Jiang Lingxi didn’t seem to want to talk much, Assistant He wisely kept silent.
Knowing the boss was in a good mood was enough for him.
The car stopped at the gate of the community, and Assistant He watched Jiang Lingxi, who was wearing a hat and mask, successfully enter the community before starting the car again to leave.
The next second, a specially set phone ringtone rang.
"Boss."
"I calculated the journey. Did you send Miss Jiang home?"
Hearing the slightly more concerned tone in the earpiece than usual, Assistant He was secretly startled but responded meticulously, "Boss, I just watched Miss Jiang enter the community with my own eyes."
"That’s good, you should go back and rest early as well." ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Okay, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Assistant He couldn’t help taking a deep breath.
Just got a word of care from the boss, even if it was incidental, but still excited.
Kind of wanting to go to the usual bar for a drink but thought better to go home!

The fingerprint lock lit up green, and the door opened silently.
The moment she stepped in, the lights in the house all turned on.
Jiang Lingxi looked at the small cozy space that belonged to her, closed the door behind, and silently let out a soft breath.
Although she was a little hungry, she still threw herself onto the soft couch first.
Anyway, there was no one else around at the moment, so she just needed to be comfortable herself.
Once the curtains were drawn, the whole house felt like a sealed space, with only the ticking sound of the clock on the wall audible for a while.
Jiang Lingxi just listened quietly for a while before unconsciously parting her lips, "Shen Yunqing!"
Even though this time when they met, she didn’t even see the other person’s whole face.
But whenever she saw this person, she couldn’t help but think of another person who had left a thousand years ago.
She was too familiar with that person, and Shen Yunqing gave her a strangely similar feeling.
Could it be the reincarnation of that person?
Previously, she didn’t believe in such things. Even when there was a drought and she performed rain-praying ceremonies under the courtiers’ persuasion, she knew in her heart it was just to appease the people. When someone died, they were simply gone, dust returned to dust, earth returned to earth, there was no reincarnation and afterlife.
However, when this matter genuinely happened to her, she became uncertain.
It seemed that under the vast sky, there were indeed unknown and unfathomable existences, even when she was revered as an emperor.
Or... a guess that suddenly crossed her mind almost made Jiang Lingxi jump from the couch.
But she quickly shook her head, denying it, thinking such a possibility was even smaller; if this kind of thing happened often, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
From the moment she woke up on the hospital bed to now, for the first time, Jiang Lingxi experienced a feeling of complete bewilderment.
Even the messy court politics in her previous life had never made her mind this chaotic.
In the end, it was the rumbling from her stomach that interrupted her thoughts.
Getting up and checking the time, she realized nearly an hour had passed unknowingly.
Nearly eight hours without eating, and only having sipped a couple of sips of black tea in between, it was no wonder her stomach protested.
The fridge was crammed full of fresh ingredients, but lacking a kitchen expert, Jiang Lingxi had to roll up her sleeves and do it herself.
Thanks to the convenience of the internet, you can find a plethora of tutorials online to cater to any craving.
After spending more than half an hour, Jiang Lingxi prepared a meal with one meat dish, one vegetable, one soup, and a large bowl of rice for herself.
Just as she was about to sit down at the dining table to eat, her phone on the kitchen sink rang.
She had to turn back to get her phone and casually opened Tong Yue’s newly sent voice message.
"Remember the class tomorrow morning, we are short on time with many tasks, remember to get some rest early tonight."
After listening, Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow, feeling a little unreliable as Tong Yue specifically sent a voice reminder even after reminding her once when they parted.
So she replied with a voice message: "About to eat, will rest after eating."
"Ding-dong!"
Tong Yue: "It’s almost nine o’clock, and you’re just having dinner now!?"
This time, Jiang Lingxi listened twice and confirmed that Tong Yue did say ’you’ and not ’you all’, thinking she might have assumed she went to her parents’ place?
She simply took a picture of the meals on the table with her phone and sent it over, "I’m eating by myself."
Tong Yue stared at the picture sent, silent for two seconds. Could it be they quarreled when they met and parted ways without even eating?
Thinking of comforting, "Your takeout looks quite nice, considering Zhengzheng isn’t here, you chose well, seems your survival skills greatly improved after filming ’Survival’."
Jiang Lingxi: "... I cooked dinner myself."
Tong Yue, realizing she hadn’t comforted or encouraged sufficiently: "Ahem, my son is calling me to check his homework. I won’t disturb your meal, see you tomorrow."
Their conversation, akin to a chicken-and-duck talk, finally came to an end.
After Jiang Lingxi slowly finished her dinner, the medicine brewing on the stove was also ready. She drank it unfazed as water, skillfully handed the messy pots and pans to the dishwasher, then went to the bathroom to draw a hot bath, and finally lay in bed wearing pajamas as the clock just turned to ten o’clock.
If it were in her previous life, even with several people serving her, it’d take at least an hour to finish all of this.
If Qing Yuan were with her, upon seeing such a convenient world, she’d probably cry.
But with Qing Yuan’s intelligence, learning a new skill shouldn’t be difficult, either.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help curling her lips into a smile, slowly drifting into dreamland under the spell of medication.
Until the bright moon hung in the sky, she suddenly awoke from her dreams, finally rationalizing the source of that bit of unease she felt after meeting Shen Yunqing in the evening.
The source was Shen Yunqing’s final promise; damn her for agreeing to dissolve their marriage if she found a lover. She nearly lived till fifty in her past life without finding one. Could it be she can find one in this life?
Also, how dare that guy say it so nonchalantly!
Without a spacious and beautiful garden to stroll through to ease her mood, Jiang Lingxi wandered through every corner of her house before forcing herself back to the bedroom to continue resting.
Don’t ask, just know it’s maddening!
