When Asked, the Answer Was No! Mm~ It Was Pretty Brazen

The sun is setting.

Occasionally, a few clear birdsongs could be heard from the woods.

Jiang Cheng groggily opened his eyes and fell into deep thought as he looked at the quiet surroundings.

Where are they?!

Didn't Shen Xiyue say she was going to find someone?

He's been sleeping for a while now, why hasn't he reacted yet?

He had originally planned to call Shen Xiyue when she didn't arrive for a long time, but then he realized that his phone was still in Shen Xiyue's bag.

Song Qingyan's phone just happened to run out of battery again...

Left with no other choice, he could only lean against the pavilion for a short rest, and before he knew it, he had fallen asleep.

Thinking that Shen Xiyue would be back soon.

And then... by now, it's all too late!

Jiang Cheng stood up and his gaze fell on Song Qingyan, who was resting with her eyes closed like a sleeping beauty.

I walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Miss Song, wake up."

"Hmm~"

Song Qingyan slowly opened her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in her beautiful eyes.

"Jiang Cheng, hasn't Xiyue arrived yet?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's face darkened.

He also wanted to know why Shen Xiyue hadn't returned after so long.

What, did you go abroad to find someone?

If I had known this girl was so unreliable, I would have preferred him to go instead.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Jiang Cheng frowned and said...

"Miss Song, how are you feeling now? Are you able to walk?"

Don't ask, the answer is no!

Song Qingyan shook her head, looking troubled.

"It still hurts a little."

Damn, what do we do?

We can't possibly stay here overnight, can we?

Jiang Cheng frowned even more deeply as he glanced at the path leading down the mountain.

It's such a long way; it will definitely take a lot of time to help Song Qingyan down the mountain.

By then it will be quite dark, and if I accidentally make my foot injury worse, that would be terrible.

Ugh, this is really difficult!

Song Qingyan pursed her lips.

"Jiang Cheng, why don't you go down the mountain and find someone to help you? I'll wait here."

This won't do!

Jiang Cheng shook his head. He would be relieved if Song Qingyan's foot wasn't injured.

After all, a master of Internal Strength can handle any danger.

But now Song Qingyan's foot is already sprained, not to mention that she has run into trouble while practicing her martial arts.

I wouldn't be able to rest easy if he really left like this.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Cheng looked at Song Qingyan and spoke.

"Miss Song, this can't go on forever."

"If you don't mind, I can carry you down the mountain. What do you think?"

"Of course, if you mind..."

Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, Song Qingyan shook her head.

"I don't mind."

Isn't this exactly what she's been waiting for?

I'm so happy, why would I care about anything?

According to the plan, she was originally prepared to make this request as well, but she did not expect Jiang Cheng to speak first.

It's like heaven is helping her!

Forehead...

Did you agree so quickly?

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything more.

"Then let's go."

After saying that, he squatted down with his back to Song Qingyan.

Looking at Jiang Cheng's broad arms, Song Qingyan was filled with joy.

She slowly lay down on him, her hands encircling his neck.

At the same time, Jiang Cheng clearly felt a soft touch on his back.

And the warm breath Song Qingyan exhaled on the back of his neck made him feel unbearably itchy.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Cheng calmed his restless heart and reminded him.

"Miss Song, lie down properly."

Song Qingyan a soft "hmm".

Feeling Jiang Cheng's body temperature, a faint blush appeared on both sides of her cheeks.

As the sun set, the two figures grew longer and longer.

Soon, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

It was already getting dark.

"Miss Song, thank goodness we came down quickly. Any later and we would have been mosquito food."

Jiang Cheng sighed and pointed to his mouth.

"Look, I got bitten even while I was sleeping. These mosquitoes are really rampant these days."

Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan's pretty face flushed red, and her voice became barely audible.

"Hmm... yes, they are quite arrogant."

As if remembering something, Song Qingyan's heart raced, and she lowered her head to bite her red lips.

"Jiang Cheng, from now on, don't call me Miss Song anymore, just call me Qingyan."

"Otherwise it would seem strangely distant."

Song Qingyan stared into Jiang Cheng's eyes and said earnestly,

"Alright, Qingyan."

Jiang Cheng didn't act coy.

After all, given the Song Family's status in Lingnan, it would be much more convenient to get things done in the future if they could befriend Song Qingyan.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's agreement, a smile appeared on Song Qingyan's cold and beautiful face.

In my previous life, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When she first arrived in Jiang Cheng, she used an alias.

It wasn't until Jiang Cheng asked, "Can I get to know you?" that she revealed her real name to him.

Therefore, she had never heard Jiang Cheng call her Qingyan.

She never expected to be reborn and hear Jiang Cheng address her so affectionately.

This feeling is wonderful!

Just as the two were talking, a familiar figure rushed over.

Why did you all come down?

Shen Xiyue feigned surprise.

A pair of eyes secretly gave Song Qingyan a meaningful look, as if asking a question.

"You have the nerve to ask? Why are you only arriving now? Where's the person you were looking for?"

Jiang Cheng said irritably.

His face darkened further when he glanced at the empty space behind Shen Xiyue.

Cough cough~

Shen Xiyue coughed twice, her expression unchanged, and then spoke.

"I had something to take care of, so I notified A Long and the others to come over. Who knew your men would be so unreliable?"

"That's why I rushed over here when I didn't see you when I got back to the hotel."

Seeing that Shen Xiyue didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth.

You bastard, A Long!

Now you think you're all grown up, huh?

"Alright, let's take Qingyan back first, whatever it is."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't ask any more questions and helped Song Qingyan into the car.

The group left East Qiao Mountain.

"Ahhh!"

In the hotel, A Long, who was sitting with his legs crossed and smoking a cigar, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

Sniffing, A Long felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.

I'm feeling a little panicked!

"That's strange. Could it be a cold? That shouldn't be the case."

"With my physical abilities, who can compare to me except for the young master?"

A Long muttered to himself.

"What's wrong, Brother Long? How about we do something fun?"

A woman with a seductive figure smiled alluringly, her fingertips lightly tracing A Long's chest.

"Go away, get out of here..."

A Long waved his hand dismissively and tossed out a wad of cash.

What kind of person is she, actually lusting after his body?

A Long, ever since he started following the young master, what kind of woman hasn't he seen? He's not the kind of person who's so casual!

And we're outside right now.

As the young master's confidant, how could he indulge in wine and women?

The woman excitedly took the cash and swayed away with delight.

I glanced down at the time.

A Long asked in confusion,

"It's so late, why hasn't the young master returned yet? Could something have happened?"

After thinking about it, A Long felt it was unlikely.

With Miss Shen around, what could possibly happen?

The young master and his friends are probably having a candlelight dinner somewhere!

Just then, there was a knock on the door...
