Blond hair and blue eyes? Dear grandson?
As Jiang Cheng's voice came through clearly, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang's eyes lit up.
This... seemed possible after all.
At the thought of becoming grandparents someday, neither of them could stop smiling.
"No!"
At almost the same time, Qin Yan and the other four women spoke anxiously.
"What is this?"
Mother Jiang's eyes were full of surprise, before she revealed a smile that said, "I understand."
Her Xiao Cheng had grown up. He even knew how to go after girls now.
And there were five fresh, lovely cabbages at that!
Although Jiang Cheng's words moved her motherly heart, she could still tell the difference between one grandson and a whole group of grandsons.
Seeing Mother Jiang's expression,
the women all blushed furiously, looking exactly like unattractive daughters-in-law meeting their parents-in-law for the first time.
Ah, it was all Jiang Cheng's fault!
They had already been furious over him leaving without saying goodbye, yet he was still thinking of picking up wild women outside.
By the sea,
listening to the commotion over the phone, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of foreboding rise in his heart.
He carefully asked, "Hello, Dad, are you at the company?"
A bout of coughing came from the other end, followed by Father Jiang's slightly nervous voice. "Ahem... Y-yes, I'm at the company."
Jiang Cheng helplessly shook his head and sighed to himself.
He knew his father too well. Whenever Father Jiang lied, he would unconsciously stammer.
Clearly, his father had been threatened by his mother!
Those voices just now had definitely belonged to Jiang Ruoxue and the others.
"Xiao Cheng, about the project, you just..."
"Hello, hello! Dad, what did you say? The signal is bad here, hello?"
Jiang Cheng decisively hung up.
That was close. His father had almost let it slip.
Beep, beep, beep~
Looking at the disconnected call, Father Jiang helplessly spread his hands.
That brat was as slippery as an eel!
"Uncle, Aunt, since Jiang Cheng isn't here, we'll be leaving first."
Qin Yan pursed her lips, rose to her feet, and spoke politely.
No joy or anger could be seen in her obscure gaze as she turned and left.
Immediately afterward, Shen Xiyue and the other three women also left one after another in tacit understanding.
Night fell, and the city lights came on.
Colorful neon lights filtered through the glass windows and fell across the café tables.
Tap, tap, tap...
A slender finger lightly tapped against the tabletop.
"Tell me, what do we do now?"
Qin Yan folded her arms and swept her gaze across Shen Xiyue and the other women.
"Jiang Cheng is clearly avoiding us. What else can we do? Tie him up and drag him back?"
Jiang Ruoxue sighed, looking rather helpless.
"Perhaps our rebirth has changed the original course of events."
"Whether it has or not, we cannot let Ye Bufan off in this life."
Shen Xiyue parted her red lips, her tone brimming with killing intent.
Even if there was only the slightest possibility, she would not allow Jiang Cheng to be harmed.
"Then what about Jiang Cheng? If we really wait a year or two, his children might be calling us Aunties by then."
Mu Qingcheng said worriedly.
"Leave this to me."
Qin Yan spoke calmly. "But before Ye Bufan and the forces behind him are eliminated, all of you must listen to me."
The women nodded at her words.
Thus, the Anti-Ye Alliance's united front initially took shape.
Seaview Villa,
After getting up and having a simple breakfast, Jiang Cheng set off for Jiang Corporation's overseas branch.
"Quick, quick, get moving! Keep your spirits up!"
"President Jiang will be here soon. Whoever dares make even the slightest mistake will bear the consequences!"
Downstairs at Jiang Corporation,
a short, stout middle-aged man with a bloated belly shouted at the top of his lungs.
Beside him stood a beautiful woman in her thirties, voluptuous in figure, with a tear mole at the corner of her eye.
"Manager Li, I think that's President Jiang's car."
"What Manager Li? From now on, call me Vice Manager Li."
Li Tianming straightened his suit, put on his signature smile, and walked forward to greet him.
The car slowly came to a stop.
A Long got out and opened the rear door. Jiang Cheng, dressed in a white suit, stepped out.
Quite a few female employees' eyes lit up.
So this was the company's new president? He was way too handsome.
"President Jiang, over here."
Li Tianming waved, jogging toward Jiang Cheng with a broad smile.
This was the young master of the company. He had to serve him well.
In the office,
Jiang Cheng familiarized himself with the company's specific situation, and before he knew it, evening had arrived.
"Young Master, Manager Li said he arranged a Welcome Banquet for you. Are you going?"
A Long knocked and entered, asking the question.
Jiang Cheng considered it briefly. "Go."
After all, since he would be staying here for a long time, it would be good to get more familiar with the employees.
Intercontinental Hotel,
Not long after Jiang Cheng entered, a tall, graceful figure appeared at the entrance.
Qin Yan slowly curled her lips.
Little man, let's see how you run now!
"Is everything ready?"
"Everything has been prepared according to Miss Qin's requirements."
Beside Qin Yan, a Black-suited Bodyguard answered in a low, respectful voice.
Elsewhere, Jiang Cheng had only taken a few bites before hurriedly leaving with A Long.
The female employees were simply too enthusiastic. He was having trouble dealing with them.
The moment he stepped out of the private room,
"A Long, let's go. Young Master will take you out to have some fun."
Jiang Cheng patted A Long's shoulder. "Let's go?"
"M-Miss Qin."
A Long swallowed and instinctively took a step back.
"What Miss... Qin Yan!"
Jiang Cheng followed A Long's gaze, and the smile on his face instantly froze.
Good grief, she had really chased him here.
"Where are you going to have fun? Take me with you."
Qin Yan looked at Jiang Cheng with an ambiguous smile, a trace of hidden resentment flashing in her eyes.
"Haha~ What a coincidence! Qin Yan, you're here too."
Jiang Cheng scratched his head and forced himself to speak calmly.
"It is quite a coincidence. Since we're so fated, let's have a meal together."
Qin Yan gave a soft laugh. "Jiang Cheng, you won't refuse, will you?"
Ahem, ahem~
Would I dare refuse?
Jiang Cheng smiled awkwardly and swallowed the words of refusal in his throat.
"N-no, it would be my honor."
"Since that's the case, let's go."
Qin Yan walked to Jiang Cheng's side and naturally looped her arm through his, just like a couple deeply in love.
On the top floor of the Intercontinental Hotel,
pink lights spilled down inside the VIP private room.
"Qin Yan, didn't you say we were having dinner? This... this place doesn't seem appropriate, does it?"
Jiang Cheng forced himself to speak. If A Long and Qin Yan's bodyguard were not still there, he would have suspected that Qin Yan was planning to eat him.
"It doesn't matter where we eat."
Before long, dish after dish of delicacies was brought in and placed on the table.
Qin Yan took the wine pot and poured two small cups of wine, then placed a piece of stir-fried kidney into Jiang Cheng's bowl.
"Jiang Cheng, let's have a drink."
Only after seeing Qin Yan drink the wine herself did Jiang Cheng feel at ease enough to drink.
A glint of satisfaction flashed through Qin Yan's eyes.
Little man, you can't blame me for this. Who told you to be so disobedient?
To make you willingly return with me, this is the only way.
"You can leave now."
Qin Yan glanced at A Long, who was still standing there in a daze. "What? Are you afraid I'll eat your young master?"
A Long shook his head like a rattle drum and gave Jiang Cheng an apologetic look.
Sorry, Young Master.
Miss Qin's presence was just too overwhelming!
As the sound of the door closing rang out, amid the ambiguous atmosphere,
only Qin Yan and Jiang Cheng remained...
Before you continue
