After a quick wash-up, Jiang Cheng set off for Zhou Ying's place.
It took nearly forty minutes of driving to reach the destination.
Jiang Cheng saw it was a very old residential compound.
Right after he called, Zhou Ying appeared.
She wore a pair of see-through high-heeled sandals and a mint-green, figure-hugging, slit halter dress.
It showed off her sexy silhouette perfectly.
Watching Zhou Ying walk slowly toward him, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt as if he had fallen in love.
Zhou Ying was, without doubt, the girl who grabbed his attention most among all he had ever met.
An angel-baby face paired with a cool, aloof temperament created a special kind of magnetism.
The key was, her personality was great too.
The moment she got in, Zhou Ying spoke up: "It was a long drive. I told you I could come myself, but you wouldn't listen."
"It's fine—just a bit out of the way. Is it safe living here?"
"Pretty safe. It's old, but there's a guard, and across the street is a bus stop. I usually take the bus. Main thing is the rent's cheap." Zhou Ying's voice carried a sweet, coquettish lilt.
It made Jiang Cheng want to pull her into his arms and shower her with affection.
A top-class beauty like her should be pampered at home.
Letting her roam outside was too dangerous.
"I shouldn't have let you go back last night; it was so late and inconvenient."
Zhou Ying smiled at him: "I work late at my part-time jobs sometimes; it's no big deal."
Soon it was past seven in the evening when Jiang Cheng brought Zhou Ying to taxx.
Wang Zheng and Chen Hao had arrived ahead of him; Qian Geng was already in the booth.
Seeing Jiang Cheng walk in with Zhou Ying again, all three greeted her enthusiastically.
Qian Geng was first: "Brother Jiang! Hello, Sister-in-law!"
At that, Zhou Ying flushed, but she only smiled and nodded without correcting him.
Jiang Cheng grinned at their teasing: "You're here early!"
"Nothing else to do. When we heard Brother Jiang was hosting, we came right over."
"Thanks for the support!"
Seeing Jiang Cheng arrive, Chen Hao immediately called Xiao Chen over.
Xiao Chen came and, quick on the uptake, greeted everyone in turn: "Young Master Jiang, Young Master Wang, Young Master Chen, Young Master Qian—what's the plan tonight?"
Wang Zheng pointed to Jiang Cheng: "Tonight my Brother Jiang calls the shots."
"Bring three great divine dragons straight off, plus a few bottles of foreign liquor; snacks and fruit as you see fit."
Then Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhou Ying: "Oh right, add ten cans of Want Want Milk."
"Got it, Young Master Jiang. Want me to line up some atmosphere girls?"
Chen Hao cut in: "Xiao Chen, where's your sense? Brother Jiang brought his lady tonight, and you want to send in atmosphere girls—looking for trouble?"
Xiao Chen looked at Zhou Ying, slapped his own cheek and said, "Oops, my bad—my muddle-headed mistake. I'll arrange everything right away. Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
Everyone laughed, and Zhou Ying's face turned even redder.
Seeing she was truly shy, Jiang Cheng nudged Chen Hao: "Brother Chen, hold your tongue."
"Sure, sure, got it."
Soon the rest arrived: Lin Feng showed up a few minutes ahead of Guo Qian and Zheng He.
Lin Feng was fine—yesterday he'd done nothing out of line, just watched.
Guo Qian and Zheng He looked awkward; last night they'd chosen to leave with Wang Qiang.
When Wang Zheng invited them tonight they didn't dare refuse, but now they sat stiffly, gave a quick greeting, and stayed obediently quiet on the side.
Before long the three great divine dragons made a grand entrance: bunny girls swayed in a line, and the DJ on stage hyped the crowd: "Table One—Young Master Jiang—three great divine dragons! Wishing our big brother ever-rising fortune!"
Zhou Ying eyed the ace of spades bottles on the table, curious: "What does this taste like? I've never tried it—only heard of it."
"Besides being expensive, the taste is nothing special."
"If I weren't driving you later, I'd take a sip right now."
Seeing her pout, Jiang Cheng smiled: "Girls should drink less outside. I'll pack a few bottles for you to take home."
That he didn't push her to drink made Zhou Ying's favorability rise instantly.
Zhou Ying: Favorability +5!
