For the next two days, Jiang Junyi still picked up and dropped off Wan Xiaoxiao and flirted with Wan Qingyun every day.
In the blink of an eye, Friday arrived.
"The parent-teacher meeting starts at 4:05 this afternoon. Don't forget," Wan Xiaoxiao reminded him at the entrance of Jiang City No. 1 High School.
"I know, I know. I won't miss it." Jiang Junyi waved.
With a light snort, Wan Xiaoxiao headed toward the campus with brisk steps.
After watching her leave, Jiang Junyi rolled up the car window and looked at Uncle Wu. "Has everything been arranged?"
Uncle Wu nodded. "Yes. Those debt collectors have been dealt with. From here on out, they're all our own people."
"What did Wang Hao say?"
"It has been confirmed that Black Palace will make a move. Their orders are to make Su Shuangshuang wholeheartedly submit to Black Palace, so she can be kept for dealing with Lin Xiu later."
A smile curled across Jiang Junyi's lips. "Very good. Looks like Qingyun and I had the same idea. As expected of my wife!"
To be honest, he had initially worried that Wan Qingyun would not be able to bring herself to go that far. Now, it seemed he had worried for nothing.
Then again, someone capable of becoming a supervillain would never be some saintly pushover.
"Uncle Wu, don't I seem a little like a villain?"
"Young Master, I think the term 'mastermind behind the scenes' suits you better."
Jiang Junyi nodded at Uncle Wu in satisfaction. "Not bad! Extra chicken leg for you when we get back!"
Uncle Wu smiled and drove toward the Wan Family.
The moment they arrived...
"Qingyun, baby~~~"
His voice arrived before he did.
Bang! The door flew open.
Then a black shadow pounced into Wan Qingyun's arms, rubbing against her again and again.
Wan Qingyun's face reddened slightly as she looked helplessly at Jiang Junyi in her arms. "Could you open the door a little more gently next time? I feel like it's about to break."
"Sure, sure, sure."
Clearly, he had not listened at all.
Ever since she had kissed Jiang Junyi that time, this man had become increasingly brazen.
Now he would rush straight into her arms and rub hard against... against that embarrassing place...
After a while, Jiang Junyi finally stood up and asked with a grin, "Have you run into any problems?"
Wan Qingyun had originally wanted to say no, but she remembered what Jiang Junyi had said last time and nodded. "A little."
Jiang Junyi's eyes lit up. "Tell your husband about it."
Wan Qingyun's little face flushed. "Su Ling invited me to discuss a possible collaboration."
"Does she know you're the one handling this matter?"
"She probably doesn't."
Jiang Junyi frowned slightly. Su Ling was quite capable; one could tell from how she had led the Su Family to rise.
Still, he believed his wife was no less capable.
"Then go meet her."
"Meet her..." Wan Qingyun's grip tightened around the wheelchair handles.
Jiang Junyi noticed her unease and took hold of her soft hand. "It's fine. I'll go with you."
"My Qingyun is no worse than her."
Feeling the warmth in his hand, Wan Qingyun calmed down. "All right."
A disabled body would naturally leave a person with some feelings of inferiority deep inside.
Even though Wan Qingyun had grown up strong, she could not help but fall somewhat behind in settings such as negotiations.
But now that he was there, there was no such thing as being at a disadvantage!
Jiang Junyi was confident, and he had every reason to be.
Trying to play tricks with me? Sorry, then there's no need to cooperate at all.
At that moment, Jiang Junyi remembered that he needed to make preparations for tonight's matter that afternoon, so he said, "By the way, Qingyun, I may need to leave for a while this afternoon. Tonight, I'll have Uncle Wu bring Xiaoxiao back."
Wan Qingyun froze for a moment, then asked, "You won't come back after leaving at noon?"
"Yeah, I need to handle some things." Jiang Junyi gently stroked Wan Qingyun's hair.
"All right, I understand." There was a trace of disappointment in Wan Qingyun's voice that even she herself did not notice.
Jiang Junyi's lips curved upward as he leaned closer to her. "Aww, is Qingyun baby reluctant to part with me?"
"W-What are you talking about! I happen to have things to do this afternoon too, so... so I won't have time for you." Wan Qingyun stubbornly denied it.
"Oh~~ Then that's fine." Jiang Junyi smiled gently at the slightly tsundere Wan Qingyun, who had turned her head away.
The Wan sisters were quite alike sometimes. Both of them were stubborn.
After lunch, Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun around the courtyard to enjoy the sun for a while.
"When are you leaving?" Wan Qingyun asked.
"In a bit. I'll keep you company a little longer." Jiang Junyi smiled and leaned close to her ear. "So someone doesn't get too disappointed."
"W-Who's disappointed? I'm busy too!" Wan Qingyun's ears reddened as she forced out an explanation.
"Okay, okay~ I'm the one holding you up~" Jiang Junyi coaxed.
The way the two of them got along was actually a little strange.
Sometimes, Jiang Junyi acted like a child, mischievously demanding affection from Wan Qingyun.
Sometimes, Wan Qingyun was not all that mature either, expressing her feelings to Jiang Junyi with tsundere pride.
But that was how it should be.
Showing one's other side while accepting everything about the other person.
Soon, Jiang Junyi pushed Wan Qingyun back into the study. "I'm leaving now."
"Mm, go ahead."
"How about a goodbye kiss?" Jiang Junyi asked with a wicked grin.
"No, hurry up and leave... mmph!"
Jiang Junyi swiftly bent down and lightly touched those enticing red lips before pulling away.
Caught off guard, Wan Qingyun's cheeks turned scarlet.
In truth, this was only their second time, except this time Jiang Junyi had taken the initiative.
"I'm off, I'm off~" Having successfully launched his sneak attack, Jiang Junyi fled as fast as he could, leaving behind a blushing Wan Qingyun.
After a long while, Wan Qingyun touched her lips, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth. "Bad man."
Over here.
Uncle Wu drove Jiang Junyi to Baiting Commercial City. Pedestrians came and went, and there were quite a lot of people!
Jiang Junyi got out of the car and pointed at the entrance with a constipated expression. "Uncle Wu, are you sure you discuss secrets in a place like this?"
Uncle Wu looked at Jiang Junyi in surprise. "Young Master, these people are all from White Court. Didn't I tell you?"
Jiang Junyi: ???
No, wait!
Those people arguing with stall owners until their faces turned red, with spit flying everywhere.
The ones haggling, shouting, and begging.
They were all from White Court??
What the hell was the point, brothers?!
At that moment, Jiang Junyi felt numb.
He wiped his face. "Then is it possible for some random passerby to sneak in?"
Uncle Wu smiled confidently. "There are layers of requirements and identity verification to enter this place."
"If a passerby sneaks in, everyone here will notice immediately. And besides, whoever sneaks in will definitely become one of the Baiting Force."
Jiang Junyi nodded thoughtfully.
If someone like that truly appeared, then they really would be quite a figure.
"Let's go. I remember the place Aunt Zhao booked is..."
In a flash, Jiang Junyi was seated outside a barbecue restaurant.
A case of beer and barbecue skewers had already been laid out on the table.
Barbecue in broad daylight, was that really right?
And what was with this roadside vibe!
Come on, they were here to discuss secrets! Secrets! Could they show a little respect?!
"Young Master, skewers. One hundred percent real lamb."
"Oh, thanks." Jiang Junyi accepted the lamb skewer, drawn in by its aroma.
It smelled amazing.
After taking a swig of beer, Jiang Junyi spoke.
"Today, we're mainly here for one matter..."
Clap clap clap!
Two or three people around the table applauded wildly.
