After speaking, Xia Li couldn't help but size up Wang Yuyan carefully.
This was the second time Jiang Cheng had brought a woman home; the last woman to come here was Xia Meng.
However, since following Jiang Cheng on a trip to Great Britain, Xia Li understood very well that the women around Jiang Cheng were as numerous as the stars.
At this moment, she didn't show much surprise.
Jiang Cheng's gaze shifted slightly, imperceptibly glancing at Xia Li's chest, which was clad in a heart-themed maid outfit.
Seeing that the full curves seemed to have become a bit rounder,
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Xia Li, long time no see. It seems you've put on some weight?"
Upon hearing this, a shy blush appeared on Xia Li's face.
She lowered her head with a soft smile and replied, "Young Master Jiang, your eyes are truly sharp. I have indeed gained a few pounds recently and am currently on a diet."
Jiang Cheng smiled as he took the tray of raw meat and shook his head. "I think you're just right now. It wouldn't be good if you were any thinner. You need to eat more to gain some meat."
Seeing the hint of concern in Jiang Cheng's tone, Xia Li couldn't help but feel a touch of warmth.
Seeing Wang Yuyan nearby, Xia Li just smiled and didn't say anything more. She then tactfully and quietly stepped back behind Jiang Cheng and Wang Yuyan.
The moment they brushed past each other, Xia Li's gaze fell on Wang Yuyan, while Wang Yuyan was also secretly sizing her up.
The two women's gazes met in the air, silently competing with each other.
One should know that even if two girls who don't know each other cross paths and brush past one another, they will still compare themselves in their hearts.
Not to mention a woman as beautiful as Xia Li.
And they were both by the side of the same man.
At this moment, a subtle tension filled the air.
However, both of them quickly adjusted their expressions and returned to normal.
After throwing in a few pieces of raw meat, the surface of the lake suddenly erupted, as if a fierce battle for food had begun.
The heads of the Alligator Snapping Turtles were like flexible, retractable rods, swaying back and forth as they pursued the succulent raw meat.
Watching this scene, Wang Yuyan turned pale with fright. She said coquettishly, "Hubby, why do you keep such ferocious turtles?"
"When I bought the place, these turtles were already in the pond. It's said they were shipped from Africa and are extremely fierce. Sometimes they even crawl onto the grass to sunbathe, so you should be careful when you come to the yard."
Wang Yuyan nodded timidly, then leaned in and whispered suggestively into Jiang Cheng's ear, "Mhm, it really is surprisingly big."
"Do you like it?"
"I've never liked eating turtle. I've never even had the kind used for soup. Just looking at them is scary."
"I'm not asking about that. I'm asking if you want to eat something even bigger."
"Ah, you're terrible."
Standing behind them, Xia Li quietly listened to the flirtatious banter between Jiang Cheng and Wang Yuyan, and a blush immediately rose to her face.
She was long past her days as an innocent young girl.
Her years of experience carrying out missions abroad had shown her many things.
She naturally understood the specific meaning behind Jiang Cheng and Wang Yuyan's words.
After finishing the feeding, Jiang Cheng smiled and said to Wang Yuyan, "You go to my room with Xia Li and wait for me. I'll make a phone call and be up shortly."
Wang Yuyan nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I'll go up and wait for you first."
Watching Xia Li lead Wang Yuyan away, Jiang Cheng took out his phone and began his time management.
He first returned a call to Lin Qingxue, his tone gentle as if he wanted to convey all his care to her.
After hanging up, he had a video call with Zhou Ying, his eyes full of doting affection.
Next, he said goodnight to Yu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Yinyin, Xia Meng, and Xiao Xia in turn.
Every greeting was filled with sincerity, making one feel his concern for them.
After this routine, more than half an hour had quickly passed.
In this short time, his actions illustrated what it meant to be caring and attentive.
After finishing everything, Jiang Cheng finally stood up slowly and walked upstairs with firm steps.
