An ordinary breakfast,
With the three women competing to feed him, Jiang Cheng felt like a pampered pet with no chance to resist.
He could only silently endure this torment and suffering...
Jiang Ruoxue reluctantly left early after the Police Station called to say there was an important case.
As for Li Shiyao, she left with her. Without Mother Jiang's orders, Jiang Cheng could not be bothered to drive her.
A sensible heroine should learn to get herself to and from school.
"Jiang Cheng, I have some matters to deal with today, so I can't keep you company."
After taking a call, Qin Yan looked at Jiang Cheng with guilt in her eyes.
If she could, she truly wanted to never be apart from Jiang Cheng for even a moment, clinging tightly to him.
"Really?!"
Jiang Cheng, who had been frowning as he thought about how to send Qin Yan away, suddenly looked up with a hint of excitement.
Heaven was helping him!
Just when he got sleepy, someone brought him a pillow.
"You seem quite happy?"
Qin Yan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, her tone carrying traces of dissatisfaction and resentment.
This little man had taken liberties with her just last night, yet today he was already so eager for her to leave.
He was utterly heartless—putting on his pants and denying everything!
Ahem, ahem...
Jiang Cheng also realized that his reaction had been too intense. He quickly put on a reluctant expression and tried to smooth things over.
"I mean, it's really too heartbreaking."
He even forcibly squeezed out a few tears.
"Oh, really? Then I'll just put it off and stay here with you."
Qin Yan clicked her tongue softly and picked up her phone, ready to act.
Uh...
He had overdone the sincere display.
In his panic, Jiang Cheng grabbed Qin Yan's slender, jade-like hand and said solemnly,
"Women should have careers of their own. How can you let romantic attachments make you waste away?"
"That wouldn't do. It absolutely wouldn't do!"
Feeling the warmth from Jiang Cheng's palm, Qin Yan's mind went blank. This was the first time Jiang Cheng had taken the initiative to hold her hand~
"Th-then... all right."
Phew~
That had almost gotten out of hand. Good thing he had been quick-witted in a crisis.
He had this firmly under control!
A few minutes later, several Hongqi Cars stopped outside the Jiang Family residence.
Burly bodyguards wearing sunglasses got out one after another.
"So annoying. Why did they arrive so quickly?"
She had not spent enough time with her little man yet.
Qin Yan pouted and muttered like a young girl, with none of the domineering air of the Qin Family's legitimate daughter remaining.
"Jiang Cheng, hold me."
With experience from the first time, Jiang Cheng was already familiar with the routine.
When the bodyguards at the entrance saw their Miss nestled in Jiang Cheng's arms, their admiration for him deepened even further.
All of them knowingly called out in unison,
"Son-in-law!"
Seeing that Qin Yan in his arms had no intention of explaining at all, Jiang Cheng was completely thrown into chaos.
He could only silently reassure himself that it was not a big problem.
After today, everything would be worry-free!
After seeing Qin Yan off,
Jiang Cheng packed up simply and headed straight for the airport.
Meanwhile, in the woods some distance away, a figure silently took out a satellite phone.
"Big Sister, Young Master Jiang has left the Jiang Family residence."
On the other end of the call, a cold voice gave a quiet hum.
"Understood. Keep watch for any suspicious people around the Jiang Family."
"Yes."
Underground Training Ground,
Shen Xiyue, dressed in a backless athletic tank top, hung up the phone. Her body was covered in fragrant sweat, and she had clearly just finished working out.
Her defined, smooth abs and firm, toned thighs were on display, while waves of chill radiated from her cold eyes.
"Lin Family, I hope you do not mistake yourselves."
Jiangcheng International Airport,
A Long had been waiting in the departure lounge early.
At that moment, a handsome, upright figure appeared among the crowd, causing many people to stop and stare.
"Young Master."
A Long stepped forward and spoke.
Jiang Cheng patted A Long on the shoulder.
"All right, it's about time. Let's go."
Time flew by, and it was nearly nine o'clock.
Jiang Family residence,
Five beautiful figures sat separately, and the air was filled with oppression and silence.
Ding~
A phone rang.
Qin Yan answered the call and asked coldly, "Have you found anything?"
"Miss, Young Master Jiang boarded a flight this morning and went overseas."
Since the call was on speakerphone, the other four women heard the news as well.
They had nearly thought something had happened.
But what was Jiang Cheng going overseas for?
Just then, Jiang Tianxiong and his wife pushed open the door and entered.
The instant they saw the women, they were both stunned. What had happened?
"Uncle, Aunt."
Before Father Jiang and Mother Jiang could react, the five women stood and greeted them.
Aside from Jiang Ruoxue and Li Shiyao, the other three, including Qin Yan, seemed slightly uneasy and reserved.
"Girl from the Mu Family, girl from the Shen Family."
Mother Jiang paused, then turned her gaze to Qin Yan.
"Miss Qin, you're here too."
Jiang Tianxiong looked at Qin Yan in surprise, feeling rather strange inside.
Could Xiao Cheng really have tricked the Qin Family's legitimate daughter into marrying into our Jiang Family?
"Aunt, did you know Jiang Cheng went overseas?" Jiang Ruoxue asked indignantly.
"We knew. Your Uncle Jiang handed the overseas project over to Xiao Cheng. It will probably take one or two years."
"One or two years!"
Flames burned in Jiang Ruoxue's beautiful eyes. No wonder Jiang Cheng had seemed so strange this morning. He had been plotting this all along.
Seeing that the women's expressions were somewhat off,
Mother Jiang understood that they had definitely been kept in the dark about this matter.
"That brat, I'll have to give him a good talking-to."
Overseas,
On the soft beach, waves continually crashed against the reefs, producing crisp and pleasant sounds.
To celebrate properly, Jiang Cheng had barely gotten off the plane before eagerly bringing A Long to the shore to experience the local culture.
It had to be said that the locals were truly enthusiastic.
He had only just arrived, yet quite a few kind, curvy beauties had sincerely invited Jiang Cheng to play cards.
Sometimes, being too handsome was also a kind of trouble!
Jiang Cheng changed into a pair of loose shorts and lay leisurely on a beach chair.
With the sea breeze blowing over him and the sound of waves in his ears, he felt exceptionally relaxed.
Son, I'm your father~
Jiang Cheng answered the phone. "Hello, Dad."
"Xiao Cheng, what are you doing? Why is it so noisy over there?"
Father Jiang asked suspiciously.
Jiang Cheng coughed lightly and signaled A Long with his eyes not to speak before saying into the phone, "We're discussing how to get the project started."
At that moment,
A beautiful woman in a bikini with a smoking-hot figure suddenly walked up to Jiang Cheng and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hi, handsome. Want to hook up?"
"My Persian cat can do backflips~"
This was bad...
Cultural invasion.
After a moment of silence, Father Jiang's furious roar suddenly came from the other end of the line.
"You little bastard, this is the business you're discussing?!"
"Dad, listen to my sophistry... no, my explanation."
Jiang Cheng hurriedly covered his ears and said helplessly,
"I'm doing this for the good of our Jiang Family. Haven't you and Mom always hoped to hold a grandchild sooner? When I come back this time, I'll definitely bring you home a foreign doll."
"A good grandchild with blond hair and blue eyes—just tell me, do you want one or not?"
