Three Votes to One, a Special Birthday Gift

A momentary lapse in concentration?

I think his soul was stolen!

Qin Yan rolled her eyes helplessly, too lazy to point it out, and nodded.

It wasn't until they entered the villa that Jiang Cheng realized what was happening and looked at Ye Qingying, asking,

"Qingying, didn't you invite anyone else?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingying pursed her lips and shook her head.

She said it was her birthday, and that she wanted to have a legitimate reason to invite Jiang Cheng out so that things would be easier.

How could I possibly invite others?

"Okay, why ask so many questions?"

Qin Yan gently pinched the soft flesh on Jiang Cheng's waist, then smiled meaningfully at Ye Qingying.

Could she possibly not guess Ye Qingying's thoughts?

These sisters probably wish only Jiang Cheng would come alone, and they think the three of them are just "third wheels".

Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate.

Ye Qingying has a quiet personality, so it's normal that she doesn't like crowds.

"That's perfect, the four of you can make a mahjong table."

Jiang Cheng said half-jokingly.

Hmph~ So clueless about romance!

Why bother with mahjong? Why not just play cards?

Qin Yan snorted and rolled her eyes at Jiang Cheng before pulling Ding Shengnan and the other two women to sit on the sofa.

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

The morning passed quickly, and we finished lunch.

Qin Yan and the other girls chatted idly to the side, their laughter occasionally escaping.

Ye Qingying originally planned to find an opportunity to spend time alone with Jiang Cheng, but she was pulled into a "group chat".

Outside, the sun was shining brightly.

Jiang Cheng leaned back in his recliner, basking in the sun while replying to Yun Ruoxi's messages.

Without realizing it, I started to close my eyes and rest.

"Look at that scoundrel, he knows how to enjoy himself."

Through the glass, Ding Shengnan saw this scene and complained to Qin Yan and the other girls.

Qin Yan's beautiful eyes lit up, she curled her red lips and said a few words in a low voice.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ding Shengnan crossed her arms and firmly refused.

"Isn't this giving that scoundrel a freebie? No way, I don't agree!"

Pshaw~ Haven't you given out enough perks already?

Qin Yan gave Ding Shengnan an annoyed look and simply ignored her.

She knew perfectly well that this girl was probably more excited than anyone else than she was when she was so quick to refuse.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Yan's gaze fell on Bai Weiwei and Ye Qingying.

"The weather is really nice today, what do you guys think?"

Ye Qingying nodded and responded.

"I... I have no objection either."

Bai Weiwei took a deep breath.

Under Ding Shengnan's gaze, which seemed to suggest she was hoping someone would stand on the same side as her, she gave a soft "hmm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan appeared confident.

She met Ding Shengnan's gaze with a smile, "Three votes to one, refusal is invalid."

"Quickly, Shengnan, go and wake Jiang Cheng up."

Ding Shengnan scratched her hair in frustration and muttered to herself.

Despite her apparent reluctance, she walked toward Jiang Cheng with unwavering determination.

Just then, Jiang Cheng was enjoying himself when he suddenly felt the hat covering his face being taken away.

He opened his eyes in a daze and saw Ding Shengnan looking down at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Xiao Yan'er said the weather is nice today and asked if you want to come swimming."

Ding Shengnan grunted twice.

Swim?

Jiang Cheng first glanced at Ding Shengnan, then turned to look inside the room, as if something had inexplicably occurred to him.

He stood up decisively and said righteously, "Come on."

He really is a pervert; I saw right through him!

Ding Shengnan cursed under her breath and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng quickly followed, for even a second of hesitation would be disrespectful to himself.

A short while later, Jiang Cheng walked to the private swimming pool wearing only a pair of shorts.

"Hasn't it come out yet?"

Just then, a pleasing scene came into view.

Qin Yan's charm, Ding Shengnan's fiery personality, Ye Qingying's aloofness, and Bai Weiwei's shyness each have their own unique appeal!

"How?"

Qin Yan smiled slightly and took Jiang Cheng's arm.

Ye Qingying and Bai Weiwei stood to the side, their faces also full of anticipation.

As for Ding Shengnan, although she didn't seem to care on the surface, she secretly pricked up her ears.

"That goes without saying."

Jiang Cheng put his arm around Qin Yan's soft waist and showered her with praise, extending his compliments to the other three women as well.

Because of her pregnancy, Qin Yan did not go into the water, but instead lay on a deck chair on the shore sunbathing.

Jiang Cheng swam for a while, then "punished" the stubborn Ding Shengnan in the water before coming ashore.

"If you bully Shengnan like that, be careful she might retaliate when you're asleep at night."

Qin Yan sat up and gave him a coquettish glare.

Jiang Cheng waved his hand dismissively, chuckled, and continued,

"You two are truly best friends; you even share the same weakness of being ticklish."

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Qin Yan lips curled up slightly.

Jiang Cheng pulled Qin Yan into his arms and leaned back in the recliner. "So, how does Yan'er plan to comfort me?"

As he spoke, his hands started to wander.

Sitting on Jiang Cheng's lap, Qin Yan bit her red lips and slapped away the "devil's claw."

"Weiwei and the others are still there."

"So Yan'er means it's fine as long as Weiwei and the others aren't here?"

"Hmph~ That won't work either!"

Qin Yan took a deep breath and glared fiercely at Jiang Cheng.

Once the baby is born, let's see how she ruthlessly exploits this little man.

This period of time has almost made her feel terrible.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stopped teasing her and gently embraced Qin Yan, enjoying the time together.

After finishing dinner and chatting for a while, it was already evening.

"Yan'er, it's so late, why don't you stay here tonight?"

Ye Qingying pursed her lips and slowly opened her mouth.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan smiled meaningfully, neither refusing nor rejecting the offer, but instead looking at Jiang Cheng.

"Little man, what do you think?"

Noticing Ye Qingying's hopeful gaze, Jiang Cheng coughed lightly, "Well... I think it's pretty good."

"In that case, let's make it that way."

Qin Yan's gaze swept over the two of them, and she nodded in agreement.

"Shengnan, Weiwei, what do you think?"

"Sister Qin, I have no objection."

Connecting this to today's casual conversation, Bai Weiwei vaguely guessed what was going on and hummed in agreement.

She stole a glance at Jiang Cheng and Ye Qingying, and her mind flashed back to that night, her face instantly turning bright red.

"I see with my eyes, I see openly and honestly."

Ding Shengnan parted her red lips slightly and deliberately raised her voice.

That scoundrel is living a very comfortable life.

They change brides every day and are grooms every night, not even afraid of dying from exhaustion one day.

After saying that, he pulled Qin Yan and Bai Weiwei upstairs, humming as he spoke.

"Xiao Yan'er, Weiwei, let's sleep together tonight."

Watching the three women go upstairs, Jiang Cheng's lips twitched slightly.

At this moment, Ye Qingying calmed her inner turmoil and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Jiang Cheng, let me take you to your room."

Upon reaching the room door, before Jiang Cheng could even speak, Ye Qingying hurriedly left.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Jiang Cheng opened his mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed.

He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

When they came out, they found Ye Qingying sitting on the bed.

She wore a light purple lace camisole, and her long, straight legs were wrapped in black stockings.

"Qingying..."

Before Jiang Cheng could finish speaking, Ye Qingying walked up to him and said softly,

"Jiang Cheng, I'd like a special birthday present, is that okay?"
