Seeing Anni's rare docile behavior in front of Jiang Cheng, An Xin couldn't help but cover her mouth and secretly chuckle.
She often got a headache from Anni's antics.
It wasn't surprising that Jiang Cheng called Anni a naughty child, because she truly lived up to those three words.
It felt like there was nothing she was ever afraid of. No matter how An Xin scolded or hit her, Anni would always act as she pleased next time.
Now, it was quite unexpected that she was willing to listen to Jiang Cheng.
An Xin turned her head and apologetically said to Wen Ang, "Mr. Wen, I'm sorry, but it seems I won't be able to have dinner with you tonight. Anni never eats properly when we're out, so I'll take her home first."
How could Wen Ang not understand the meaning behind An Xin's words? Wasn't she just rejecting him?
Although he was annoyed internally, there were so many people around, so he maintained his composure and said with a gentle smile, "It's alright, Sister Xin. You take Anni home first. We can have dinner together another time."
Seeing Wen Ang suddenly call her so intimately, An Xin's expression stiffened slightly.
She was merely rejecting him out of politeness.
She hadn't expected Wen Ang to address her that way so suddenly.
An Xin couldn't help but wonder, what if Jiang Cheng misunderstood later?
Her expression turned cold, and she dropped her polite smile.
She said plainly to Wen Ang, "Let's talk about it later. I'm usually very busy and don't have much free time."
After being rejected, Wen Ang still replied gently on the surface, "No problem, whenever you're free. I have some company matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your meal."
Wen Ang, seeing the situation, wisely found an excuse to leave first.
Because he knew that this current scene was not the best setting to connect with these Second-generation rich.
To avoid becoming a nuisance later, Wen Ang simply avoided the situation for now.
Anyway, they had already met once. If they met again in the future, the chances of connecting would be much higher.
Moreover, Wen Ang wasn't genuinely interested in An Xin to begin with.
However, he was always competitive, and being rejected by An Xin immediately sparked a rebellious streak within him. At this moment, he felt he absolutely had to have An Xin, no matter what.
Anyway, in his eyes, An Xin was just a used item with a child. What was she putting on airs for in front of him?
Let's see if she still dares to be so arrogant towards him after he gets her.
After Wen Ang left, Anni immediately pulled An Xin's hand and said, "Mommy, I'm hungry. How about we eat here with Brother Jiang Cheng?"
Seeing Anni taking another inch, An Xin immediately glared at her.
She then said apologetically to Jiang Cheng, "Anni, Brother Jiang Cheng has his own things to do. We can't bother him. When he's free, Mommy will talk to you, okay?"
As soon as An Xin finished speaking, Qin Fen immediately spoke up enthusiastically, "Sister Xin, it's fine. We're all friends here. Just eat here, don't be shy."
Wang Zheng glanced at Jiang Cheng, then immediately chimed in, "That's right, Sister Xin. We've known each other for so long and haven't eaten together yet. Our dishes just arrived and are still hot, so let's eat together."
"Exactly," Chen Hao echoed. "A family of three, all together. I'll immediately have someone bring two more sets of chopsticks and bowls."
Although Wang Congcong didn't understand the relationship between Jiang Cheng and An Xin, he saw that everyone else was egging them on, and Jiang Cheng didn't seem to object or refuse.
He also cleverly said, "I heard your Watch Museum is pretty awesome. I'll drop by sometime to check it out. While we're eating, you can also tell us how to properly maintain these watches."
"Okay, Mommy, let's eat here then. I'm already hungry," Anni said, very perceptive, seeing everyone agree. She immediately pulled An Xin's hand and pouted softly.
Seeing their enthusiastic invitation, An Xin awkwardly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and nodded, "Then I'll impose on you all."
Anni, seeing An Xin agree, jumped up happily, "Yay! I want to sit with Brother Jiang Cheng!"
Seeing them stirring up trouble, Jiang Cheng shook his head helplessly.
During dinner, Anni clung to Jiang Cheng the entire time.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, can you get me that dish?"
"Brother Jiang Cheng, can you feed me soup?"
...Jiang Cheng couldn't help but inwardly grumble that naughty children were much more troublesome than women.
After all, when dining with women, the roles were reversed; he was usually the one being served.
The others, meanwhile, ate and chatted with An Xin about watches.
After the meal, everyone was much more knowledgeable... Soon, dinner was over. Since An Xin was present, the others didn't continue to the next round of entertainment.
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
As they were leaving, Anni started clamoring to ride in Jiang Cheng's car.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, I want to ride in your car."
Seeing Anni about to cause another fuss, An Xin immediately sternly said, "Anni, no. You can ride in Mommy's car. Brother Jiang Cheng's car doesn't have a car seat, so you can't ride in it."
Although Anni was young, she was very clever.
She was very good at reading expressions, and faced with An Xin's firm refusal, she could only obediently nod.
She knew she had been naughty and caused trouble today, and if she made An Xin angry again, she might get a beating when they got home.
Seeing the naughty child also compromise sometimes, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but secretly chuckle.
After bidding farewell to An Xin, Jiang Cheng's car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of a high-end mansion on The Bund.
Since establishing Xingchen Company, Jiang Cheng had asked Yu Xiaoxiao to move to The Bund, which was closer to the company.
Jiang Cheng took a look; the surrounding environment was very comfortable, a comfortable environment indeed.
It seemed he needed to quickly sort out buying a house; after all, he couldn't keep renting forever.
The purchase restrictions in Modu seemed quite troublesome, but after establishing a company, he could directly buy a house in the company's name.
Jiang Cheng pressed the unlock code at the entrance.
After opening the door, he saw only one dim light on in the living room.
To prevent Yu Xiaoxiao from being startled, Jiang Cheng called out, "Xiaoxiao?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, asking with an uncertain voice, "Jiang Cheng?"
"It's me."
Jiang Cheng saw a new pair of men's slippers thoughtfully placed by the shoe cabinet at the entrance. He put them on and walked towards the direction of the voice.
Before he even reached the bathroom door, he saw Yu Xiaoxiao hurrying towards him. Soon, he felt a soft and full embrace, and a pair of jade arms wrapped around his back.
"Why are you suddenly here, my little boss? Are you perhaps missing me?" Yu Xiaoxiao finished speaking and gave Jiang Cheng a seductive smile.
"Of course I miss you. Can't you feel now that I'm practically overflowing?" Jiang Cheng asked, pressing close to Yu Xiaoxiao.
"You're annoying, you came just as I was about to take a bath," Yu Xiaoxiao said, rubbing Jiang Cheng's chest.
"Wait for me a bit??"
Jiang Cheng slowly embraced Yu Xiaoxiao and walked towards the bathroom inside the bedroom, drawing out his words as he replied, "That's not easy. How about we have a competition in the water?"
"Then how about I set the starting point?" Yu Xiaoxiao said cheerfully, lying on Jiang Cheng's chest.
"No problem." Jiang Cheng gently pinched Yu Xiaoxiao's chin with one hand, his lips slowly pressing against hers, directly initiating his 'Nimble Tongue' skill.
