Since We're Already Here, Shall We Go Up and Sit for a While?

After the passionate kiss, Leng Qingqiu nestled softly in Jiang Che's arms, her eyes half-closed. Her long, delicate lashes trembled lightly, a blush spreading across her pretty face as she wore a languid, seductive expression, seemingly savoring the moment.

"You little bastard..."

"The effects of the Youth Preserving Pill are so miraculous. Do you know the formula and principles behind this kind of pill?"

After lingering in the moment for a while, as though she had suddenly remembered something, Leng Qingqiu lifted her gaze to Jiang Che. Her red lips parted slightly as she asked slowly.

Having personally experienced the miraculous effects of the Youth Preserving Pill, Leng Qingqiu naturally began to entertain certain thoughts.

After all, the effects of this pill were simply heaven-defying.

If it could truly be mass-produced, it was impossible to imagine how much of a shock it would cause in the cosmetics market once released.

"What, you want to analyze the principles behind the Youth Preserving Pill's effects and mass-produce it?"

Jiang Che reached out and lifted Leng Qingqiu's flawless, exquisite chin, his tone teasing.

Leng Qingqiu having such an idea was entirely within Jiang Che's expectations.

After all, Lanzi Group specialized in all sorts of cosmetics. If the Youth Preserving Pill could truly be mass-produced, it would inevitably sweep through all of Jiuzhou Country and become famous far and wide.

Wealth moved the heart. For a workaholic with an exceptionally strong drive for success like Leng Qingqiu, personally leading Lanzi Group out of its predicament, expanding and strengthening it, and restoring its former glory was naturally an immensely tempting prospect—one she simply could not refuse.

"That's right..."

"So, what do you think?"

Leng Qingqiu did not hide her thoughts either, nodding openly in admission.

"The medicinal herbs required to make the Youth Preserving Pill are nearly impossible to find anywhere in the world. Only I have them, and even then, the quantity is limited, so don't get any ideas..."

"However... I've already had Star Dome Group's researchers study and analyze the Youth Preserving Pill. Once its effects have been diluted several dozen times, they should still be able to develop some related cosmetics..."

Jiang Che voiced his thoughts.

Naturally, Jiang Che could think of what Leng Qingqiu had thought of.

The spending power of women was plain for all to see, especially when it came to a hugely profitable industry like cosmetics.

Once Star Dome Group's researchers successfully improved a version of the Youth Preserving Pill diluted several dozen times, Jiang Che would naturally begin large-scale production.

Even diluted several dozen times over, the Youth Preserving Pill would still crush ninety-nine percent of the cosmetics on the market.

Once the improved version of the Youth Preserving Pill became wildly popular, raking in hundreds of billions a year would be no problem at all.

"Then... have you chosen an agent for the Youth Preserving Pill yet?"

Leng Qingqiu looked at Jiang Che with blazing eyes, her starry gaze brimming with anticipation. The words "Give me the agency rights" were practically written all over her face.

"You want the agency rights?"

Jiang Che chuckled and reached out to pinch Leng Qingqiu's tender, smooth, fair, flawless cheek.

"Of course."

"This is practically free money. How could I possibly not want the agency rights for the Youth Preserving Pill?"

Leng Qingqiu shot Jiang Che a seductive glare, her tone utterly matter-of-fact.

"It's not impossible to give you the agency rights..."

"But my dear President Leng, you need to understand that there has never been such a thing as a free lunch in this world."

"If you want to gain something, you first have to give something in return."

Jiang Che spoke meaningfully, a half-smile on his face.

Leng Qingqiu froze slightly before quickly understanding. The blush on her face deepened considerably.

After what had happened at Lingxiao Capital, Leng Qingqiu had long gained a new understanding of Jiang Che's shamelessness. Naturally, she understood the hidden meaning behind the dog of a man's words.

After hesitating for a while, the sensible Leng Qingqiu ultimately decided to put her career first.

Half an hour later, Leng Qingqiu raised her hand and punched Jiang Che hard in the chest, speaking irritably.

"Can you give me the agency rights for the Youth Preserving Pill now?"

"Of course. After all, this was something Husband had prepared for his darling baby all along."

Jiang Che smiled and nodded, sounding just as though it were only natural.

"At least you have a bit of conscience~"

Leng Qingqiu muttered quietly. She did not believe a single word Jiang Che said.

If not for the enormous effort she had just put in, how could that dog of a man have agreed so readily?

"It's getting late. Let's go have lunch together."

Jiang Che lowered his head to glance at the watch on his wrist and made the suggestion.

"Wait for me to change..."

Leng Qingqiu did not refuse. She answered softly and headed straight for the changing room next to the office, intending to freshen up first.

Once Leng Qingqiu had changed, the two left Lanzi Tower arm in arm.

Leng Qingqiu did not resist Jiang Che's openly flirtatious, possessive gesture. She simply accepted it.

After all, she had already done things far more difficult to speak of. Now, all she was doing was appearing before the employees arm in arm with Jiang Che—what did that amount to?

After leaving the president's office, employees kept stopping to watch them along the way, whispering and discussing them in low voices.

"Damn, is President Leng dating someone?"

"Who would've thought?"

"By the way, who's that pretty boy beside President Leng?"

"What did he do to earn President Leng's favor?"

"He's no pretty boy. This gentleman is Jiang Che, chairman of Lingxiao Capital."

"I heard the company received funding from Lingxiao Capital a few days ago. President Jiang and President Leng must have gotten together because of that."

"A handsome man and a beautiful woman—they're a perfect match!"

"A domineering CEO and his icy beauty CEO—two powerhouses joining forces? A business marriage?"

"Ahhh, I'm shipping this couple!"

All sorts of discussions rose and fell throughout the crowd.

In an overlooked corner, however, a refined young man wearing glasses had turned livid, his expression as dark as water.

After leaving Lanzi Tower, Jiang Che drove his Koenigsegg toward a famous couples' restaurant on Tianbei Road.

The Aegean Sea Restaurant was an upscale restaurant for couples, stylishly decorated with understated luxury.

After entering the restaurant, Jiang Che requested a window seat and sat down with Leng Qingqiu.

Before long, the waiter placed one exquisitely prepared dish after another on the table. Jiang Che and Leng Qingqiu ate and chatted, sharing the little things they had seen and experienced in their daily lives.

After lunch, Jiang Che did not immediately take Leng Qingqiu back to Lanzi Group. Instead, he took her around Linjiang City.

Buying flowers, taking walks, talking from the heart, shopping, watching movies.

The two were like an ordinary couple, doing all the things ordinary couples did.

Naturally, there was no avoiding all sorts of intimate contact—kissing, hugging, and lifting her up.

Leng Qingqiu showed no resistance whatsoever. On the contrary, she enjoyed it so much she never wanted it to end.

When they kissed, Leng Qingqiu was especially addicted to that suffocating, self-forgetting sensation—the lingering sweetness on her lips and teeth, the blankness in her mind.

Night was as dark as ink.

After dinner, Jiang Che drove Leng Qingqiu back to her villa at Lanwan Imperial Mansion.

Beneath the streetlights, in the shadows, the handsome young man rested one hand on the steering wheel, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

At that moment, faced with that sight, Leng Qingqiu suddenly felt as if her heart had skipped a beat. Ripples stirred in her heart, and she spoke as though possessed.

"You're already here..."

"How about coming upstairs for a while?"
