The Daily Life of the Crown Prince of Jiang Prefecture

Qingteng Villa covered roughly one hundred thousand square meters. It had been Qin Mengxuan's birthday gift to Jiang Che for his eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony.

Located in the outskirts of Linjiang City, the villa was peaceful and pleasant, filled with birdsong and flowers. It had a tranquil environment, with standalone villas, swimming pools, gardens, and woods.

The back mountain also had a shooting range for target practice and training, an equestrian field, a golf course, and more. It had everything one could want.

When selecting the site, Qin Mengxuan had spent a staggering ten billion to build Qingteng Villa. Calling it the most expensive, best-appointed, and most luxurious villa in all of Linjiang City would not have been an exaggeration.

Spending ten billion just to build a villa was something even members of the Six Great Families would never dare do. It was simply outrageous, far too extravagant.

But as the commercial queen who controlled the Star Dome Group, a company worth several trillion, Qin Mengxuan naturally did not care much about ten billion.

After all, she gave Jiang Che and Jiang Wantang one billion each in monthly spending money.

Ten billion was merely one year's allowance for the siblings.

In her words, why had she built her company so large if not to let her children enjoy themselves?

What was the point of keeping money if she did not spend it?

As Jiangzhou Province's foremost financial conglomerate, the Star Dome Group ranked among the top three in the entire Dragon Kingdom.

Its businesses covered every field: real estate, education, entertainment and film, electronics, technology, new energy, chain hotels, hospitals, games, and more.

It could be said that Linjiang's citizens could not escape the Star Dome Group from birth to death.

The Star Dome Group alone accounted for seventy percent of Linjiang City's GDP.

After entering university, Jiang Che moved out of the Jiang Family residence and came to live permanently at Qingteng Villa.

Besides Jiang Che, more than a hundred maids lived here as well, tending to his daily needs.

As for bodyguards like Lin Qiang and the villa's security personnel, they lived in the villas around the estate and handled security work.

"Young Master..."

"Greetings, Young Master..."

Along the way, passing maids continually greeted Jiang Che with fiery enthusiasm.

Some of the bolder young maids even deliberately bent over, allowing Jiang Che a glimpse of their breathtaking scenery as they constantly cast flirtatious looks his way.

Every one of these maids was exceptionally pretty. Outside, they would at least be goddesses in ordinary people's eyes. They had been carefully selected through multiple rounds before being sent here.

Their monthly salary started at one hundred thousand, with Thirteen insurances and eight funds, a year-end bonus of five hundred thousand, and room and board included.

Their usual work consisted of watering flowers, feeding fish, and cleaning. It was exceptionally leisurely.

If Jiang Che happened to take a liking to one of them, she could instantly cross the class divide and rise from a sparrow to a phoenix.

Thus, countless people came to Qingteng Villa every year to apply for maid positions.

After entering the villa, Jiang Che had a maid arrange Xiao Yi's room next to his own.

Once dinner was ready, Jiang Che brought Xiao Yi directly to the table to eat.

"Why aren't you eating?"

"Is the food not to your liking?"

Seeing Xiao Yi merely standing quietly before him without making any move, Jiang Che raised a brow and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, someone like Xiao Yi should not be picky about food.

After all, assassins like her often had to endure rough meals and sleep outdoors while carrying out missions. Being able to eat a full meal was already good enough.

Xiao Yi gently shook her head. A faint ripple passed through her purple eyes as she glanced at the several maids standing nearby.

"You're different from them..."

"You're my personal bodyguard, so naturally you have the right to eat with me..."

"I'm ordering you to eat."

Jiang Che understood what Xiao Yi's eyes were conveying and gave the order directly.

Although Xiao Yi was nominally only his subordinate, his personal bodyguard.

Jiang Che had never viewed her as merely a bodyguard.

Xiao Yi was so strikingly beautiful and utterly loyal to him. Naturally, he had some thoughts of his own and wanted to claim this delicious little loli for himself.

However, Xiao Yi had only just arrived at Qingteng Villa today.

There was plenty of time ahead, so he was in no hurry.

Although the system had awakened only a day ago, Jiang Che's mindset had already undergone an enormous transformation.

In the past, his goal had been the political world, climbing step by step to the top like his elders.

Now, he only wanted to quietly be the Crown Prince of Jiang Prefecture, live freely, suppress Children of Destiny, win over beautiful heroines from every corner, and enjoy a wonderful life.

Upon hearing Jiang Che speak, Xiao Yi did not hesitate at all.

She instantly took a seat, then picked up her chopsticks and began continuously stuffing rice into her mouth.

Her little cheeks puffed out, making her look like an adorable little hamster.

Xiao Yi was a Westerner and had rarely used chopsticks before. She mostly ate with knives and forks.

As a result, her movements were somewhat clumsy, and quite a few grains of rice stuck to the corners of her mouth.

"Don't just eat rice. Eat some dishes too..."

Seeing Xiao Yi like this, Jiang Che could not help laughing. He gave the maid beside him a meaningful look.

The maid immediately understood. She picked up a tissue and wiped the rice grains from Xiao Yi's mouth, her gaze full of undisguised envy.

The maids all had their own staff meals, but they had never eaten at the same table as Young Master.

This little girl in purple had only just arrived, yet she was already able to sit and eat with Young Master. She did not need to think with her brain to know that the relationship between these two was definitely not simple.

Xiao Yi did as she was told and began continuously picking up dishes and eating again. Her movements were meticulous and her expression blank, as though she were carrying out some mission.

Seeing this, Jiang Che helplessly shook his head.

Xiao Yi's cold personality clearly could not be changed overnight, and Jiang Che did not expect too much.

After dinner, Jiang Che returned directly to his room.

After washing up, he lay comfortably on his ten-meter-wide bed and played with his phone.

He chatted with Liu Mengxi for a while, then Jiang Che soon fell deeply asleep.

The next day, early morning.

After washing up and getting dressed, Jiang Che pushed open his bedroom door.

Just as he was about to head downstairs for breakfast, he saw a slender purple figure standing at the door. It was Xiao Yi.

"You didn't sleep all night? You stood guard here the entire time?"

Noticing the obvious dark circles beneath Xiao Yi's eyes, Jiang Che raised a brow and asked in surprise.

Xiao Yi silently nodded, her expression still blank.

She had long regarded Jiang Che as her master, so naturally she had to protect his safety.

Thus, even though she knew nothing unexpected would happen within Qingteng Villa, Xiao Yi had still silently kept watch outside Jiang Che's room all night.

"You little thing..."

Jiang Che shook his head with an amused smile, feeling somewhat moved. He reached out and patted Xiao Yi's head.

Xiao Yi's body stiffened slightly. A trace of discomfort flashed across her face, but she did not reject Jiang Che's gesture.

Like a docile little cat, she kept rubbing her little head against Jiang Che's palm.

However, Xiao Yi clearly had no experience flirting with others, so her movements looked somewhat comical.

"Alright, come downstairs and eat with me now, then go get some proper sleep..."

"I'm going out later. You don't need to come with me today..."

Jiang Che withdrew his hand and smiled faintly.

Xiao Yi gently shook her head and reached out to grasp the corner of Jiang Che's clothes. Her meaning was obvious.

"That's an order."

"And I'm only going home. There won't be any danger."

Jiang Che naturally knew what Xiao Yi was worried about and patiently explained it to her.
