If Zhang Lili's behavior hadn't been so outrageous just now, Jiang Cheng wouldn't have bothered looking into her past.
After all, her privacy value wasn't particularly exaggerated in the chaotic entertainment industry; in fact, she probably couldn't even squeeze into the top ten.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng wasn't so perverse as to demand that all the female artists in his company be virgins.
In this day and age, wanting virgins everywhere?
Dream on.
Jiang Cheng rubbed his nose, pondered for a moment, and decided to tell Yu Xiaoxiao the truth.
After all, they had agreed on this when they first got together.
There was no need to hide anything.
Furthermore, whenever he thought of Xingchen Company or the Media Company, his mind would occasionally drift to that whole Sea Banquet Incident.
"Xiaoxiao, I think you might have misunderstood me. My objection to Zhang Lili's behavior is purely based on company regulations. Honestly, it has nothing to do with being a gentleman."
Yu Xiaoxiao paused for a second upon hearing this, then sat up straight, pouted, and looked at Jiang Cheng.
Three seconds later, she gave him a charming glare, thought for a moment, and then reluctantly pushed him, saying angrily, "Sure enough, every man is lustful."
Jiang Cheng was not embarrassed by Yu Xiaoxiao's accusation.
As a normal man, he shared the common failings of all men.
He felt there was nothing wrong with that.
The world is vast, and he was merely following the current. What was wrong with that?
Jiang Cheng hugged Yu Xiaoxiao tightly, leaned close to her sensitive earlobe, and whispered, "If I wasn't lustful..."
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't dwell on it and certainly didn't dare to argue with Jiang Cheng about it.
After all, she had known about Jiang Cheng's flirtatious and lustful nature from the very beginning.
When Jiang Cheng mentioned it, she instantly understood.
Seeing Jiang Cheng hug her.
She went along with the flow, and they tacitly dropped the subject.
"Don't mention it. Thankfully, when this office was renovated, I specifically asked people to install soundproofing panels. The sound shouldn't have leaked out, or I wouldn't have the face to go out and see anyone."
After Yu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she touched her slightly flushed cheeks.
Thinking of their recent intimacy, a hint of sweetness welled up in her heart.
Looking at her bashful appearance, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
"What's there to be ashamed of? We've done it so many times. How about one more round?"
Having said that, Jiang Cheng's hand once again wandered to her waist, stroking her gently.
Yu Xiaoxiao immediately gently pushed away Jiang Cheng's hand and said coquettishly, "No! Didn't you say you were going up to check on the Investment Company? I still have some documents to deal with here. Hurry up and go."
Thinking this, he said, "Deal with what? Let's go home."
Yu Xiaoxiao glanced at the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist and continued, "Now? We still have more than an hour until work ends! How about waiting a little longer?"
Looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's meticulous manner, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Women of the new era are all workaholics.
"Work should be balanced with rest. You can't just work without relaxing. Let's go home, go home."
"I..." Yu Xiaoxiao stopped halfway through her explanation, realizing something was off about his words.
"You little rogue~"
Jiang Cheng, who had been leaning back, sat up straight.
He immediately wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "If your boss tells you to go home, then go home. Can the company really not spare you for just one hour?"
...The next day. When Jiang Cheng woke up, Yu Xiaoxiao was already gone.
He checked his phone; the time was half past ten in the morning.
Looking at the wrinkled sheets, Jiang Cheng muttered, "Up so early?"
After washing up, Jiang Cheng walked out of the room.
As soon as he stepped out, he smelled the aroma of food.
After a night of 'labor,' he was already starving.
Jiang Cheng sniffed the aroma, couldn't help but swallow, and walked toward the dining room.
Following the scent into the kitchen, he saw Yu Xiaoxiao busy cooking.
Yu Xiaoxiao heard Jiang Cheng's footsteps and turned to look at him.
She said cheerfully, "You're up! Go wash up quickly, the food will be ready soon."
Yu Xiaoxiao's voice was filled with tenderness and affection, making Jiang Cheng feel a wave of warmth.
Yu Xiaoxiao was wearing a red silk bathrobe and a black apron over it.
Her face was bare of makeup, and she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
She looked exactly like a beautiful, domestic chef.
Her appearance, completely different from usual, made Jiang Cheng stop and admire her for a while.
Seeing Jiang Cheng hug her from behind, Yu Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing.
Her face flushed, yet a sweet feeling arose, and she leaned gently into Jiang Cheng's embrace.
The two of them quietly enjoyed the peace and warmth of the moment.
After about ten seconds, Yu Xiaoxiao spoke softly, "Wash your hands, it's time to eat. I finished simmering the soup for you."
"What kind of soup?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng ask knowingly, Yu Xiaoxiao shifted bashfully, "A tonic soup, of course, Dalang."
Looking at Yu Xiaoxiao's charming appearance, Jiang Cheng ran his hands down her slender waist, "You dare call me that? If I get any more nourishment, can you handle it?"
Remembering how she had begged for mercy last night, Yu Xiaoxiao felt embarrassed again.
When they first started dating, she could barely keep pace with Jiang Cheng.
But now, she was defeated time and again.
Although she didn't know where the problem lay.
She still spoke provocatively, refusing to admit defeat, "Didn't I spend all morning simmering tonic soup for you? What do you think?"
"Oh, so you're still not satisfied? Why didn't you say so earlier? I'm already worked up this morning."
Feeling the warm breath near her ear, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately turned her face away.
"Stop it, don't mess around. You saw last night, I can't handle any more."
Seeing that Jiang Cheng still hadn't stopped, Yu Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly and looked at him with mournful eyes.
As their eyes met, she sighed helplessly.
His looks were simply too handsome, especially when being hugged by Jiang Cheng from behind like this.
Actually, she was getting worked up too.
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao staring at his lips, Jiang Cheng flashed a triumphant smile.
He had to admit that the five points of Physique rewarded by the System far exceeded his own imagination.
He had barely rested these past few days, but after such a tremendous workload, as long as he slept for one night, he felt like a good...
