Pretending to be Reserved, Li Shiyao, Shen Family Invitation!

The next day at eight o'clock, Jiang Cheng stretched lazily in his warm bed, happily preparing to greet the new day.

"Senior Jiang Cheng, you're awake!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found Li Shiyao sitting by the bed, her big, watery eyes looking at him with surprise.

Jiang Cheng jolted awake instantly, sat up, and exclaimed in shock, "You... how are you here?!"

Seeing Li Shiyao remain silent and stare intently at him, Jiang Cheng belatedly realized and quickly covered his upper body with the blanket.

Waking up to a hooligan lusting after my body, how shameless!

Li Shiyao looked slightly disappointed. She hadn't seen enough yet, why did he cover up!

I wish I could turn into a blanket, then I could snuggle with Senior, and sleep with him too. Just thinking about it makes me excited~

Taking a few deep breaths, Li Shiyao calmed the urge to pounce on Jiang Cheng. She parted her rosy lips and said, "Senior didn't lock the door~"

"And Aunt specifically asked me to take care of Senior. If Senior has any requests, you can tell me~"

"Anything~"

Li Shiyao blinked, deliberately emphasizing the last sentence, as if expecting something.

Jiang Cheng smacked his forehead in annoyance. He usually didn't lock his door when he slept, and he'd forgotten Li Shiyao had moved in.

Careless!

"Does Senior have a headache? Let me rub it for you!"

"Stop, stop! You go out first, I need to get dressed." Jiang Cheng quickly stopped Li Shiyao's dangerous advance.

It was early in the morning, and young people were full of vigor. Plus, Li Shiyao was dressed so lightly. If things got out of hand, it wouldn't be good!

He wasn't wearing anything, completely exposed.

Li Shiyao turned back three times as she left, feeling very reluctant to go. But to avoid making Jiang Cheng dislike her, she could only do as he said.

Come on, Li Shiyao! There will be plenty of time in the future!

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Jiang Cheng's tense nerves finally relaxed. He immediately got out of bed and got dressed.

At the door, Li Shiyao pressed her ear against it, listening to the sounds inside, her heart itching.

"Shiyao?"

"Ah! Au... Auntie." Li Shiyao turned around, her hands behind her back, and gave an embarrassed smile.

This is so embarrassing!

Li Shiyao's face fell. She was eavesdropping and got caught by her aunt. Her image as a good girl was ruined.

"What are you doing?" Li Rou asked, confused. Why was this girl's face so red? Was she sick?

"I... I wanted to see if Senior was awake yet..."

Li Shiyao stammered, fidgeting with her hands, not daring to look up.

"Oh~" Li Rou glanced at Li Shiyao and smiled knowingly. "You can just go in. Cheng'er doesn't lock his door when he sleeps."

"Auntie, actually... I did go in. Senior said he needed to get dressed, so he asked me to come out..." Li Shiyao said with embarrassment.

"What?! That brat!" Li Rou's eyes widened, unable to accept it.

What was wrong with her son? He was letting a potential daughter-in-law slip away?

The girl was dressed like this, clearly interested in him, and he didn't know how to seize the opportunity?!

He was just like his Old Dad, a blockhead, unromantic! It seemed she had to take matters into her own hands.

"Shiyao, open the door. Auntie will support you!"

"This... isn't it a bit inappropriate?" Li Shiyao bit her lip gently, pretending to be reserved.

But at that moment, the door suddenly opened.

Li Shiyao jumped in surprise, her hand involuntarily slipping off the doorknob.

"Why are you still out here?"

Jiang Cheng stared at Li Shiyao warily. "Don't tell me you were planning to open the door while I was getting dressed?"

"I... I was just..." Li Shiyao lowered her eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.

Li Rou watched this scene with a dark expression.

"Come here!"

Jiang Cheng turned his head, as if seeing a savior, and quickly pulled his mother aside, lowering his voice to pour out his heart.

"Mom, this woman has bad intentions. She sneaked into my room while I was sleeping. It's best to have her leave the Jiang Family!"

Jiang Cheng became more animated as he spoke, glancing at Li Shiyao, whose tender feet were bare.

He had already started fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after she left, completely oblivious to his mother's disappointed gaze.

"Is that so? That's good." Mother Jiang gave a flat hum.

"Yes, I also think she should leave..."

Jiang Cheng blurted it out subconsciously, then widened his eyes and looked at Mother Jiang.

What? That's good?

Was his meaning not clear enough?

Mom, she has ulterior motives!

If she dares to sneak into the room today, she'll dare to sleep in your son's bed tomorrow, and who knows what she'll do the day after!

Jiang Cheng felt the need to explain again, but saw Mother Jiang directly take Li Shiyao's hand and go downstairs.

She was determined to let Li Shiyao stay with the Jiang Family. Jiang Cheng understood and could only silently comfort himself that he would be free in a month.

"Shiyao, after you finish eating, let Jiang Cheng take you to school. You young people should communicate more," Li Rou said with a smile, while serving herself food.

Li Shiyao nodded with a blush, her heart leaping. Aunt Jiang had accepted her.

As long as she put in some effort, she wasn't afraid that Senior Jiang Cheng wouldn't fall into her trap!

At that time, she would definitely do all the things she hadn't done before.

"Mom, why aren't you asking me?"

Jiang Cheng was depressed. He was a living person here, and she should at least ask for his opinion.

Was it really okay to make such a hasty decision?

"Shut up!"

Mother Jiang shot Jiang Cheng a look. "Shiyao is so beautiful, how many people wish they had the chance to take her out? You should be happy."

Li Shiyao quickly waved her hands. "Auntie is the beautiful one! If others didn't know, they'd think we were sisters!"

"What a sweet mouth!" Mother Jiang was delighted, her smile never fading.

Jiang Cheng pouted. Sisters? Should I call you Godmother then?

After a simple breakfast, urged by Mother Jiang, Jiang Cheng casually chose a minivan used for grocery shopping.

"Auntie, we're leaving!"

Li Shiyao waved to Mother Jiang and opened the car door to get in.

Mother Jiang took an invitation from her bag and handed it to Jiang Cheng, emphasizing, "The Shen Family is hosting a banquet tonight. Take Shiyao with you."

"Can I not go?"

"You can, but then your father..."

Jiang Cheng's face immediately fell, and he quickly said, "Stop, I'll go, okay?"

The Shen Family was also one of the Four Great Families.

However, unlike the Jiang Family, the Shen Family's main industries were bars, nightclubs, and various entertainment venues. Half of Jiang Cheng's underworld influence was controlled by the Shen Family.

Of course, the reason Jiang Cheng was so resistant to going to the Shen Family wasn't just because Li Shiyao was with him.

It was also because the Shen Family's third young lady, Shen Xiyue, was also one of the heroines!

She was an absolute little devil, and for some unknown reason, Shen Xiyue had no good feelings towards Jiang Cheng at all.

What kind of situation was this!

Why was his life so bitter? Recalling the recent odd behavior of the heroines, Jiang Cheng sighed.

He hoped... Shen Xiyue would be more normal, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to hold on!
