Jiang Cheng watched An Xin's beautiful face as he slowly put the abalone into his mouth and bit down gently.
As he bit down, a faint taste of seafood filled his mouth, followed by a slightly sweet sensation.
Mhm, not bad, it's even juicy.
Then, Jiang Cheng activated his Nimble Tongue skill and began to savor it slowly.
Seeing Jiang Cheng eating so intently, An Xin couldn't help but squeeze her legs together underneath.
Just as Jiang Cheng was getting lost in the taste, a 'ding' sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining an extreme taste experience."
"Rewarding the Host with one case of Ultra-Thin Experience 001 Protection and one case of Qingfeng Tissues."
"System rewards have been placed in the Host's inventory and can be extracted at any time."
Jiang Cheng looked at the rewards popping up from the system and almost threw his chopsticks.
??? What exactly does the system mean by these rewards??
Is it that I can't afford protection, or I can't afford Qingfeng Tissues?
And we're in the middle of a meal; what kind of suggestive nonsense is this system pulling?
Seeing Jiang Cheng's slightly off expression, An Xin frowned and asked, "Jiang Cheng, why that face? Is it not good?"
With a helpless sigh, Jiang Cheng shook his head. "No, it's very delicious. The ones I usually eat have a faint seafood taste, but today's is not only plump and juicy, it also has a hint of sweetness. The texture is great too."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng was very satisfied, An Xin smiled and placed another piece in his bowl. "That's good then. Have another piece."
Jiang Cheng glanced at it, and without hesitation, he picked it up and put it in his mouth. Who knows, maybe he'd win a prize again.
However, no matter how much Jiang Cheng slurped this time, the system didn't react.
It seemed that gourmet rewards weren't triggered every single time.
After eating one more, Jiang Cheng put down his chopsticks.
Even though it was delicious, slurping for too long made his mouth a bit uncomfortable.
Jiang Cheng slowly sipped his drink while studying the trade secrets provided by the system.
Suddenly, the name 'An Sheng Company' caught Jiang Cheng's attention.
Thinking back to what An Xin had just said, he suddenly felt that this company might have some connection to her.
An Xin had mentioned that her father intended for Wen Ang and her to have an arranged marriage.
If An Sheng Company really belonged to An Xin's family, then everything would make sense.
To avoid making An Xin think he was investigating her, Jiang Cheng asked tentatively, "A friend of mine just shared some news in a group chat."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng showed An Xin the message Chen Hao had sent.
After reading it, An Xin nodded with a calm expression. "Indeed. The predecessor of the wen family's company was a mining group. Their previous focus was providing mining services for many small mining groups, and later they transitioned into the steel industry."
An Xin looked at Jiang Cheng and continued, "Their family's current cooperation is with mine. My father intends to let them join this project. If they do, the future profits could indeed reach tens of billions."
"So An Sheng Group belongs to your family?"
An Xin nodded with certainty.
Although Jiang Cheng was surprised, he wasn't shocked. After all, one could tell from An Xin's daily behavior that her family background was anything but simple.
No wonder Wen Ang insisted on an alliance with An Xin even while disliking An Ni.
Someone with An Xin's conditions certainly had the capital to make them flock to her.
Never mind having only one child like An Ni; even if she had several, her family background destined her to be a highly sought-after prize.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng didn't have a concrete plan in mind yet.
So, after a few casual remarks, he quickly ended the topic.
With a child present, the meal dragged on for over an hour.
Watching An Xin patiently coaxing An Ni, Jiang Cheng finally understood the phrase 'children are hard to raise.'
It was lucky An Ni was cute; otherwise, with her naughty behavior, it would be hard to like her.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said to An Xin, "A child of one of my relatives is especially cute. She's even younger than An Ni, but she's known how to eat by herself since she was little, and she's never a picky eater. I love going to play with her whenever I'm free."
Hearing this, An Ni, who had been throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat, immediately opened her mouth voluntarily.
After taking a bite, her eyes darted around as she peeked at Jiang Cheng. Then, she took the spoon from An Xin's hand and began eating on her own with her head down.
Very soon, in less than five minutes, An Ni had finished everything in her bowl.
After finishing, she even looked at Jiang Cheng with a face seeking praise.
"Brother Jiang Cheng, I can eat by myself too, and I eat super fast. I'm not a picky eater at all!"
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded. "Really? Then from now on, I'll ask your mother every day if you've been eating properly by yourself."
An Ni said solemnly, "Of course I will! Brother Jiang Cheng, I've known how to eat by myself for a long time. You have to come play with me when you're free, okay?"
After that little interlude, the three of them prepared to drive to the amusement park.
An Ni still clamored to ride in Jiang Cheng's Lamborghini, but unfortunately, the supercar only had two seats.
Finally, under An Xin's stern warning, An Ni could only obediently sit back in the rear seat of An Xin's bentley.
Seeing the naughty child's resentful expression, Jiang Cheng couldn't bear it and decided to leave his car behind.
"Sister An, I'll drive your car. You sit in the passenger seat."
An Xin looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and then nodded to him gratefully. "Thank you, Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Cheng naturally took the car keys from An Xin's hand.
An Xin was driving a Bentley Flying Spur.
Seeing that she could stay close to Jiang Cheng again, An Ni couldn't help but cheer happily.
The car soon arrived at Shanghai Happy Valley.
Looking at the large mechanical rides in Happy Valley, Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Shouldn't we be going to Disneyland?"
An Xin said somewhat sheepishly, "I took her there last week, but An Ni thought the bumper cars and roller coasters at Disneyland weren't thrilling enough. She likes these more exciting projects."
"That's right, Brother Jiang Cheng! I saw an introduction video for this amusement park. At night, you can even play haunted house games. I want to play that; it looks so fun! I heard people get scared to tears, and if you cry, they give you candy!" An Ni said with a face full of anticipation.
Jiang Cheng looked at An Ni speechlessly.
She truly was a naughty child.
Given her tendency to run around wildly, it was understandable that she liked such thrilling games.
However, since it was Sunday, there were a lot of people lining up for tickets.
When it came time to buy tickets, An Xin insisted on paying for them herself.
In the end, Jiang Cheng didn't fight her for it.
After all, the tickets were only 180 yuan each, and little friends under 1.2 meters were free.
However, since An Ni was already over 1.2 meters, An Xin ended up buying three tickets.
As soon as An Ni entered the amusement park, she began to run wild. Seeing her dash forward rapidly, ignoring the two of them...
Jiang Cheng shouted speechlessly, "An Ni!"
Then he quickly chased after her and caught her in his arms.
He said seriously, "There are many people in the amusement park. You can't run around, do you hear me?"
