Jiang Cheng asked Wang Congcong with a half-smile, his eyes fixed on him, "Speaking of children, how is that matter with Old Qin going?"
Hearing this, Wang Congcong looked up, finished the melon in his hand, and replied casually.
"You mean the child of Old Qin and Wei Yu? Sigh, I'm not too sure. That woman took 40 million and fled abroad. We still don't know which district she's living in. In my opinion, she did it on purpose, waiting until the child can call him 'Daddy' before coming back. I've seen this kind of thing a lot; it's all a routine."
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, "Hmm, it seems so."
Wang Congcong continued, "Old Qin is really worried right now. His family is planning to have him settle down and get married. I heard they've already picked out a girl for him, but this matter had to happen at this critical juncture. He doesn't dare tell his parents at all."
"If he can't handle this properly, I'm afraid this marriage won't happen." Wang Congcong sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Although Jiang Cheng hadn't specifically paid attention to when she returned in his past life, it seemed she really did come back when the child was one or two years old.
She somehow found out about Qin Fen's engagement and came back specifically to cause a scene.
At that time, it was constantly on the hot searches, and the other party naturally refused to go through with the engagement to Qin Fen, so the matter fell through.
At this moment, Wang Congcong kept his head down eating melon and said jokingly, "His family only has him as their sole descendant. The whole family has been hoping for him to settle down early. If they knew a grandson suddenly dropped from the sky, they'd probably be happy too."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng teased with a laugh, "You really have quite some insights. Old Qin and you are quite alike in this regard. You better be careful; maybe you'll end up on the same path as him in the future."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Wang Congcong immediately laughed and retorted.
"You should say that to yourself. Aren't you the same as us? Aren't you also an only child?? I think your family might be even more anxious than mine. You're the one who needs to be careful."
Having said that, Wang Congcong remembered Reba was still present and changed the subject to tease.
"Don't worry, with my current reputation, my parents can't arrange blind dates for me at all. Those prominent families look down on me. Haha, but you, on the other hand, are young and handsome. Reba, you have to be careful; this guy is very sought-after."
Reba, who had been quietly eating melon on the side, laughed shyly when she saw Wang Congcong initiative to talk to her.
"Chairman Jiang is not only exceptionally talented but also very sought-after. After the last investment meeting, several seniors in the industry privately asked Sister Mi for Chairman Jiang's contact information."
"Oh? Then did anyone ask for my contact information??" Wang Congcong asked Reba with an expectant look.
After Wang Congcong finished speaking, Reba shook her head and then gave an embarrassed smile.
"This... there probably are, but I'm not very clear about this question. Maybe you need to ask Sister Mi..."
As soon as Reba finished speaking, Jiang Cheng unceremoniously began to tease her, "I remember you said in an interview before that your father doesn't allow you to date people from the entertainment industry??"
"Those were just formal words! If I really meet the right person, of course, I can still consider it..."
Because Reba was standing right there, Wang Congcong didn't speak too bluntly.
Although he knew very well that Reba was just one of Jiang Cheng's many women.
But since he was in her presence, he had to give her enough courtesy and face on the surface.
After all, giving face to Reba was actually giving face to Jiang Cheng.
After finishing dinner, Wang Congcong was sensible enough to leave first.
At this moment, the entire Courtyard House was quiet. Except for the occasional cleaning lady hurrying through the corridor, Reba almost suspected that only she and Jiang Cheng were left.
Seeing the wind picking up under the Lanting Pavilion, Jiang Cheng considerately suggested to Reba, "The wind is too strong. Let's go inside the room first. The night wind is getting colder; it's warmer inside."
Reba wanted to say she was going back, but after hesitating for two seconds, she still nodded gently in response.
After entering the house and turning on the heating, Jiang Cheng was in no hurry to act.
He turned to Reba and said, "There are spare clothes in the wardrobe. I'll go to the study to handle some work first." After saying that, Jiang Cheng walked straight out of the room.
Looking at his departing back, Reba couldn't help but stand there feeling a bit uneasy.
She really couldn't figure out what Jiang Cheng's words meant.
Was she staying overnight here alone tonight, or sharing a room with Jiang Cheng? This question made her feel conflicted.
After hurriedly taking out her phone, her palms began to tremble slightly, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.
Her fingers trembled as she tapped quickly on the screen, sending a message to Yang Mi without hesitation.
"Sister Mi, what should I do? He's keeping me here overnight tonight!!"
After the message was sent, Reba held her phone tightly, anxiously waiting for Yang Mi's reply.
Time passed minute by minute, and every second felt exceptionally long.
Finally, the phone screen lit up, and Yang Mi's reply appeared like timely rain: "It's already 9:30. What do you think?? You're done for."
Seeing this message, Reba's heart instantly sank.
She certainly knew it was late, but she really didn't know how to handle this situation.
She quickly replied, "I know, but I didn't dare refuse when he told me to go back to the room."
Yang Mi seemed to have seen through everything, and her reply hit the nail on the head again.
"Tsk tsk, 'didn't dare refuse.' When a forty-year-old man asked you out before, you refused to go no matter what. This time you say you didn't dare refuse. Now that the Feng Gan matter is resolved, and he's not the type to intentionally mess with you, the reason you're not leaving is just because he's handsome and rich. Stop pretending."
Reba looked at Yang Mi's reply, feeling a wave of grievance in her heart.
She pouted, and after thinking for a moment, she admitted it: "Isn't it a bit fast? What should I do??"
At this moment, she had completely lost her composure and was at a loss.
"What do you mean 'what should I do'?? Didn't I tell you this morning? Seize the 'cock-portunity'. By the way, remember to tell me later if his 'cock-portunity' is big or not??"
Seeing Yang Mi making dirty jokes as usual, Reba wordlessly sent a few emojis.
"I've never experienced it, how would I know what counts as big??"
Yang Mi sent back several OK hand gestures.
The size of the circles varied across several dimensions.
"It's roughly like this. Tell me later which one it is."
Seeing this, Reba's entire face couldn't help but turn red.
"Sister Mi, you're so dirty~~~ I heard it hurts, is that true??" Reba asked.
Yang Mi replied: "You'll know once you try. You'll get used to it."
Before Reba could reply, Yang Mi sent another message: "It's late, and I'm single. I'm going to sleep. I have filming tomorrow. Don't message me anymore. Tell me the answer tomorrow, got it??"
Reba looked somewhat apprehensively at the adjacent study.
Her heart beat faster and faster, as if she could hear the sound of her own nervousness.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but her hands were trembling slightly.
Then, she silently began to mentally prepare herself.
