Time Is Money, Uninvited Guests

Seriously, this is ridiculous!

Li Shiyao bit her lip, her pretty face filled with grievance and pitifulness, and she also felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

After a brief moment of distraction, Mu Qingcheng clenched her hands, a sense of urgency welling up inside her.

After a long while, the girls finally came to their senses.

"Sister Qin is really tight-lipped!"

Shen Xiyue took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she chuckled softly, "You all agree, right?"

After speaking, Shen Xiyue pursed her dry red lips and looked at Jiang Cheng.

Then it slowly moved downwards, becoming incredibly hot, as if it were about to melt a person.

Cough cough~

Noticing Shen Xiyue's "strange" gaze, Jiang Cheng coughed and realized something was wrong.

I was too hasty; I shouldn't have told Yan'er about her pregnancy in person.

Qingyan is alright, but once Jiang Ruoxue and Shen Xiyue find out, will he even have time to rest if he doesn't get infected?

"Well, it's getting late..."

Jiang Cheng stopped speaking halfway through his sentence.

He felt that his meaning was already very clear, and Shen Xiyue and the others should understand.

Huh? What does this guy mean? Does he want them to leave?

Are you kidding me!

Shen Xiyue frowned. If she didn't know Qin Yan was pregnant, she wouldn't be in a hurry.

Now that we know, there's absolutely no way we're leaving.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiyue gave a faint "hmm".

"It's getting late, so let's not leave. Qingyan and I will stay here tonight."

"Okay, then I..."

Before Jiang Cheng could even utter the word, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and his lips twitched.

Seeing this, Shen Xiyue curled her red lips and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head, already imagining just how lively tonight would be.

But it's not that bad. At worst, he can pretend to be asleep and wait for Shen Xiyue and the others to make a fuss.

At this moment, Mu Qingcheng pursed her lips and slowly spoke.

"Jiang Cheng, I'll head back now."

After saying that, she left with a heavy heart, leaving Jiang Cheng no time to say a polite goodbye.

Jiang Cheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at the two women, Jiang Ruoxue, who were "glaring at him menacingly," and said with embarrassment,

"You guys chat, I'm going back to my room first."

"I've been feeling sleepy a lot lately, so I need to go to bed earlier."

As he spoke, he pretended to be sleepy and yawned.

Watching Jiang Cheng's retreating figure, Jiang Ruoxue snorted softly, her face full of disbelief.

This jerk still wants to lie to her?

Why sleep? She's prepared to fight until dawn.

Time is money, and every second must be used wisely.

As for now, Jiang Ruoxue looked at Shen Xiyue, her eyes flickering slightly.

She could easily understand what this woman was thinking, so she didn't mince words and just spoke frankly.

"Jiang Cheng is tired tonight, so let's not bother him, okay?"

"Sure, but just saying it isn't enough."

Shen Xiyue met Jiang Ruoxue's gaze, and a smile curved her lips.

"I swear, I won't go to Jiang Cheng tonight..."

Jiang Ruoxue was also straightforward and swore an oath directly.

Shen Xiyue smiled meaningfully, exchanged a glance with Song Qingyan, and also expressed her opinion.

Beside her, Li Shiyao quickly raised her hand to join in, afraid of being left out, "Me... me too."

What's it to you, girl?

Have you ever experienced what it's like to be a novice? I have too.

Jiang Ruoxue silently rolled her eyes, but in her heart she was thinking that helping this girl fulfill her wish was urgent.

She's all alone now, so she needs to recruit people to stay competitive!

Just like Shen Xiyue and Song Qingyan...

"Then it's a deal."

Jiang Ruoxue stared at Shen Xiyue and the other woman, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile.

Once midnight is over, it will be tomorrow.

If she goes to Jiang Cheng's room then, won't those two women explode?!

Before we knew it, it was already past midnight.

To avoid being discovered, Jiang Ruoxue opened the door and tiptoed into Jiang Cheng's room.

The moment I closed the door, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it, it's so simple."

Jiang Ruoxue gave a smug snort and walked to the bedside.

Looking at Jiang Cheng, whose eyes were tightly closed as if he were asleep, he asked in confusion,

"Is this rascal really asleep? That shouldn't be the case."

She knew Jiang Cheng's schedule quite well; after all, they used to be fighting fiercely around this time.

Having developed this habit over a long period of time, she simply couldn't believe that this rascal could fall asleep.

"Well, since we're already here, we might as well make do here for the night. It's better than sleeping alone."

Jiang Ruoxue sighed helplessly, then said with a hint of excitement, "Hehe, I'm here!"

After saying that, she quickly burrowed into the covers.

Hearing Jiang Ruoxue's murmur, Jiang Cheng bit his lip hard, his expression extremely complicated.

He really rarely uses the word "sleazy" to describe women, but this girl is one of them.

As he was reflecting on this, Jiang Cheng suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Jiang Ruoxue had most of her body pressed against him, and her fragrance filled his nostrils.

"Huh? Stop pretending, or I won't be polite."

Jiang Ruoxue instantly realized something and slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Cheng still didn't react, she ground her teeth, a sly glint in her beautiful eyes.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself and be self-sufficient!"

"Anyway, in this situation, it's the same whether I wake up or not, I'll just do it myself."

Jiang Cheng:...

Seeing that Jiang Ruoxue was serious, Jiang Cheng flipped over, and the situation changed.

"Hmph~ Why aren't you pretending anymore? I almost fell for your trick!"

Jiang Ruoxue gave a soft snort.

"I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget. You can't tell the difference between king and queen."

Jiang Cheng didn't waste any words and was about to make a move when the door was suddenly flung open.

The four looked at each other, and a silence fell over them.

Forehead...

Jiang Cheng's lips twitched. Noticing his current position with Jiang Ruoxue, he reluctantly got up.

He was somewhat reserved when they were face to face.

Jiang Ruoxue's plans were ruined, and she looked resentful, staring "unfriendly" at the two uninvited guests.

Shen Xiyue didn't say anything, but led Song Qingyan to sit down to the side by herself, and smiled.

"You guys continue, Qingyan and I will observe and learn."

Jiang Ruoxue's eyelids twitched; she didn't have the habit of letting others watch her fight.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I took a deep breath.

"Let's not keep an eye on each other. To be fair, how about one person per night?"

Jiang Cheng stood to the side, utterly speechless.

The way he said that would make anyone who didn't know better think he was a prostitute.

Ultimately, the two women reached an agreement.

"Can you leave now?"

Jiang Ruoxue scratched her hair, feeling quite unhappy.

Because of Shen Xiyue's antics, the time she spent interacting with Jiang Cheng was greatly reduced.

"That won't do. We've wasted so much time tonight. The agreement will start tomorrow."

Shen Xiyue shook her head. "Or rather, starting with you, from tonight?"

No way, she wouldn't want to be that unjust child!

Jiang Ruoxue gritted her teeth, "What do you intend to do?"

"Given that you have deceived our feelings, tonight is our turn."

Knowing what Jiang Ruoxue was about to say, Shen Xiyue first, "Of course, you certainly don't want to give me the benefit of the doubt."

"How about this, I'll give it to Qingyan tonight?"
