Chapter 1062 - An Associated Person is in Danger

If Yao Xue could consistently hold onto her unwavering love for Wang Jian and stay by his side silently...

...she might not necessarily be able to truly tame Wang Jian's wild heart.

But one thing was for sure: she would certainly secure her position as the primary wife in the future.

After all, in love, the most sophisticated tactic is to make the other person constantly feel guilty.

The stronger a person's sense of guilt, the more their subconscious desires to compensate the other person and treat them well.

While waiting, Wang Jian thanked Jiang Cheng again: "Brother Cheng, besides treating you to a meal, I don't know how else to thank you. Especially today—if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the SSCC Club, let alone meet so many people."

Wang Jian's words were sincere.

Ever since the last time Jiang Cheng gave him a watch and sent Wu Kun and Lu Chuan away, Wang Jian had decided in his heart that Jiang Cheng was not just a good friend he could be honest and intimate with...

...but rather, Jiang Cheng was a boss worth following.

After all, compared to Jiang Cheng, the gap in their family backgrounds was simply too vast.

Although Jiang Cheng didn't intend to bring Wu Kun and Lu Chuan into the fold, Wang Jian knew that Jiang Cheng wasn't doing this because he looked down on them.

It was because he knew that even if he asked, those two wouldn't be able to come up with the money.

However, if one day they were in trouble and needed help...

...Wang Jian believed that Jiang Cheng would definitely help them unconditionally.

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng waved his hand dismissively: "Say no more..."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng pointed at two driving schools not far away and asked Wang Jian, "Do you know if there are any driving schools with a good reputation around here?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian first looked in the direction Jiang Cheng was pointing.

Then he quickly shifted his gaze to Yao Xue beside him and responded after a brief pause, "I don't know about those two, but there's a driving school up ahead where Yao Xue happens to be learning. The attitude and service are both quite good."

As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, Yao Xue, standing nearby, immediately chimed in enthusiastically.

"That's right, that driving school is really great! The instructors are all very patient. And since their main clients are students, they provide extra help in some areas. For example, for subject one, they can help with checking in and things like that."

"Also, their driving practice schedule is very reasonable. A car is only shared by a maximum of four students, so everyone gets plenty of practice time. It's not like the other driving school my roommate signed up for, where they sometimes have six or even eight students using one car at the same time. As a result, the actual practice time for each person is pitifully short."

After Yao Xue finished in one breath, Wang Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Cheng, why are you asking about this?"

"I want to sign Qingxue up for one; she hasn't gotten her driver's license yet."

Just as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Lin Qingxue suddenly appeared from somewhere. With a playful look on her face, she reached out and gently patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder, asking coquettishly, "What are you saying about me?"

Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at the stunning face before him.

The delicate features, fair skin, and lively eyes left Jiang Cheng mesmerized for a moment.

Suppressing the urge to caress her cheek, Jiang Cheng naturally reached out his right hand and gently pinched Lin Qingxue's supple, collagen-rich cheek.

"You startled me. I was just about to sign you up for a driving school."

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue's heart was instantly filled with sweetness.

She knew the only reason Jiang Cheng wanted to sign her up was so he could buy her a car once she learned how to drive.

At the thought of this, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but blush and lower her head, her lips curling up unconsciously.

Standing to the side, Yao Xue couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy seeing how gentle and considerate Jiang Cheng was toward Lin Qingxue.

Recalling when she was looking for a driving school, Wang Jian hadn't even asked once, let alone taken the initiative to help arrange things like Jiang Cheng.

Both were dating a Second-generation rich, yet the treatment was worlds apart. Yao Xue couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

However, before long, a hint of worry appeared on Lin Qingxue's delicate face.

"Getting a driver's license... I don't know if I'll have the time."

"Why wouldn't you have time?"

"I'm a sophomore now; I can start preparing for an internship."

"An internship already?"

Lin Qingxue nodded slightly and explained, "It's optional, but I think staying at school just means memorizing theory and doing various projects. It's better to find a company for an internship. I can gain experience, fulfill my school credits, and earn a salary. So, I'm planning to go for an internship."

Seeing Lin Qingxue so eager and full of anticipation for the life of a corporate slave, Jiang Cheng gave a helpless smile.

"If you want an internship, you can just work at my company."

Lin Qingxue shook her head. "No thanks. I originally planned to look for a job next semester, but a company came to the school today looking for interns. After a few questions, they were very satisfied and said I could report for duty in a few days. I've already decided to intern at this company; they seem pretty good."

After saying that, Lin Qingxue took a company flyer out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

Before Jiang Cheng could even take the flyer, the system suddenly gave a notification.

"Ding! The Danger Perception Skill has detected that an associated person is in some danger."

Seeing this prompt, Jiang Cheng's brow immediately furrowed.

Because this danger was clearly related to Lin Qingxue.

But since the day before yesterday, plainclothes Bodyguards had been assigned to follow and protect Lin Qingxue.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any issues.

Jiang Cheng quickly checked the notification from the Danger Perception Skill.

The lines of small text stung his eyes like needle points, each word tightening his heartstrings further.

Once he finally finished reading all the prompts, Jiang Cheng's expression underwent a startling change.

His handsome face turned exceptionally cold, like a block of ice covered in frost, devoid of any warmth.

Furthermore, his eyes were like raging flames, bursting with an intense killing intent that almost overflowed.

Taking the flyer in his hand, Jiang Cheng began to examine it.

"Maiwei Company, 394 employees, address..."

Jiang Cheng withdrew the coldness from his eyes and silently memorized the name.

He spoke to Lin Qingxue, "Then go in a few days. Spend these two days with me first. Once you get busy, it'll be hard for me to see you."

As Jiang Cheng spoke these affectionate words, Lin Qingxue's pretty face seemed to be dyed with a faint blush like the sunset, instantly becoming radiantly beautiful.

Her beautiful eyes were now filled with sweet happiness and a tenderness like water.
