You Sleep, I'll Just Rub Against You. Still Not Awake?
"Behave yourself."
Jiang Cheng slapped Qin Yan, and her face flushed red, her breathing became rapid.
"Jiang Cheng, we haven't..."
"Go to sleep, don't think about anything else."
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at Qin Yan, pressed the switch, and the room plunged into darkness once again.
"You're just bullying me."
Qin Yan puffed out her cheeks and turned her back angrily.
That little man is so wicked!
She went to great lengths to sneak out of Shengnan's room, and she wasn't willing to give her any reward.
Stingy, miserly, tightwad...
Jiang Cheng was already very familiar with Qin Yan's little tricks and wouldn't fall for them at all.
Once he backs down, this girl will definitely take advantage of his kindness and make even more outrageous demands.
Hmph~ You little brat!
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes, ready to get a good night's rest.
In a daze, a restless jade hand reached out.
Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling arose.
"What do you want?!"
Jiang Cheng's expression changed.
Qin Yan spoke calmly and casually, "It's nothing, you go to sleep, I'll just rub against you."
Jiang Cheng's breath hitched. "Now it's not up to you."
On the other side, the Feng Family was brightly lit.
A Goatee Old Man sat in a grand chair with his eyes closed.
He held a string of Prayer Beads in his thin, withered hands, and exuded an aura of someone who had long held a high position.
"Old Master, the Third Young Master's body has been buried."
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, dressed as a butler, lowered his head and spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Feng nodded, his voice neither sad nor happy.
"Has the matter been investigated and found out who did it?"
Though the words were spoken softly, they made the middle-aged man feel as if he had thorns in his back, and cold sweat poured down his back.
He knew that the old man in front of him was truly angry!
The dignified third young master of the Southwest Feng Family died in Jiang Cheng under mysterious circumstances.
Even more tragically, a Mid Grandmaster was also lost.
Even the Feng Family couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
"If nothing unexpected happens, the death of the Third Young Master is related to the only son of the Jiang Family in Jiang Cheng."
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the middle-aged man didn't dare to delay and recounted all the information he had gathered.
"Bang!" Old Master Feng slammed his hand on the table and said in a deep voice.
"That unfilial grandson ran away to Jiang Cheng because of a woman, and now he's dying because of a woman. He's completely disgraced the Feng Family!"
"Please calm down, sir."
"Hmph, even if members of my Feng Family do something wrong, it's not something outsiders can deal with."
Old Master Feng raised his eyebrows and spoke in an icy tone.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly advised,
"Old Master, this matter needs to be considered carefully."
"I heard that the young man has a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, and that the Jiang Family and the Qin Family's companies also have cooperative relationships."
The Qin Family?!
Old Master Feng frowned, his expression becoming serious.
If that's the case, then Hui Er's death can be explained.
He said that the Jiang Family, a mere family, could not possibly stop a grandmaster.
It must have been the eldest daughter of the Qin Family who made the move!
Just as the atmosphere fell silent, tap tap tap...
Footsteps approached, and an Eagle-browed Man walked in.
"Dad, our people saw that the Ding family's convoy picked up two people at the airport this evening."
"I saw the photo; That One's the eldest daughter of the Qin Family."
"As for the other one, it's Jiang Cheng!"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Feng frowned even more deeply.
That kid actually has such a good relationship with the eldest daughter of the Qin Family.
Etc!
If he remembered correctly, Qin Yan was engaged to the eldest son That One the Yang Family.
Now he's actually appearing alone with Jiang Cheng in the Southwest. Isn't this just giving the Young Master Yang a green hat (a symbol of infidelity)?
"Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck!"
Old Master Feng gave a cold laugh.
Although the Feng Family dared not go against the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, the Yang Family was a different story.
Even an ordinary man can't accept his fiancée cheating on him.
Not to mention the heir of the Yang Family, one of the Four Great Families of the Dragon Country!
"It seems that the Feng Family won't need to take action this time."
Old Master Feng stroked his beard and calmly gave his instructions.
"Send someone to deliver this message to the eldest son That One the Yang Family, and then we'll just wait for good news."
The Eagle-browed Man instantly understood and turned to leave.
The next day, the two, dressed neatly, walked out of the room and ran into Ding Shengnan.
Qin Yan glanced away awkwardly, trying to figure out how to explain.
Could it be that she sleepwalked last night and accidentally ended up in Jiang Cheng's room?
Or perhaps she couldn't sleep and went out for a walk, but couldn't find her way back and ended up sleeping in Jiang Cheng's room by some twist of fate?
At this moment, Ding Shengnan glanced at Jiang Cheng and spoke with a smile.
"Yan'er, you're awake. Grandpa told me to call you for breakfast."
Looking at Ding Shengnan's smiling face, Qin Yan was slightly taken aback and nodded blankly.
Has the sun risen in the west?
This doesn't seem like Sheng Nan's personality at all.
Jiang Cheng, standing to the side, also looked suspicious.
If he wasn't mistaken, the woman smiled at him?
What kind of nonsense is this? Did you sleep so much that your brain got all foggy?
Yesterday he was cold and distant, talking badly about me behind my back and trying to poach my girlfriend, but today he's like a completely different person.
Something's not right! There's a conspiracy.
The three of them went to the living room, where breakfast was already prepared.
"Xiao Jiang, Yan'er, dinner is ready."
Upon seeing the group, Old Master Ding smiled.
"Grandpa Ding, you're up so early!"
Sitting at the dining table, Qin Yan greeted everyone with a smile.
"As people get older, they should get up early and exercise. Unlike you young people, you have plenty of energy."
After a few words of reflection, Old Master Ding continued...
"However, while youth is an asset, one should still be mindful of moderation."
Upon hearing this, two blushes rose on Qin Yan's cheeks.
Across from Jiang Cheng, Ding Shengnan let out a soft snort in her heart.
He quickly calmed down and handed the poured hot soy milk to Qin Yan with a smile.
"Little Yan'er, don't choke, have a cup of soy milk."
Qin Yan: ...
She understood; Sheng Nan was doing this on purpose, as revenge for her sneaking off to see Jiang Cheng last night.
On the surface, they pretended nothing had happened, appearing magnanimous and forgiving.
In reality, the goal was to instill a deep sense of guilt in her, thereby achieving the objective of subduing the enemy without a fight.
Hiss!
When did this girl become so smart?
That's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Cheng's eyelids twitched.
He inwardly cried out that he couldn't stand it; this woman was like a completely different person when she was with Qin Yan.
"Jiang Cheng, this is yours."
At this moment, Ding Shengnan poured herself another cup of hot milk, her face beaming with smiles.
Amid Jiang Cheng's shocked and dazed expression, she handed it to him and then, feigning ladylike manners, smoothed her hair.
Pfft~
Good heavens, am I still half asleep?
Looking at the milk in front of him, Jiang Cheng pinched his thigh hard and fell into deep thought.
What's going on? Is this some kind of conspiracy?
What's with that shy look on your face?!
Not only Jiang Cheng, but also Old Master Ding and Qin Yan stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.
