Zhu Yan was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
Raising her voice, she continued to press: "If I look good, why are you still telling me to leave??"
Zhu Yan lowered her head, examining herself.
She even doubted if something was wrong with Jiang Cheng.
Her gaze slowly moved up, finally stopping on Jiang Cheng's face, with a trace of resentment and unwillingness.
She asked again: "I'm asking you, compared to Zhou Ying, am I that bad??"
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then answered truthfully: "To be honest, well, your figures are about the same, but Zhou Ying is different in my heart..."
Jiang Cheng was telling the truth.
He and Zhou Ying could be said to have known each other since they were nobodies.
When he first met Zhou Ying on the plane, she already had an 80-point favorability value toward him.
Later, he learned about her silent attention to him during their three years of high school.
Just the point of her silent attention on QQ Music alone had already instantly outshone most of the Girls he met later.
Hearing this, although Zhu Yan was a bit unhappy.
She probably guessed it.
There was nothing wrong with Jiang Cheng's answer; based on the timeline, Zhou Ying definitely had the advantage.
Zhu Yan puffed out her full chest and spoke again: "Fine, let's set aside that question for now. However, I think I have the curves and the assets. Coming here in the middle of the night to ask you to help me apply body lotion, don't you understand what I mean?"
"Oh, and don't give me any of that talk about being devoted. I'm your private assistant; I know more than just a little about you."
Seeing Zhu Yan's frantic state, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.
There was a reason why he deliberately provoked her repeatedly.
It was just like the scene when Qiao Yinyin went to the bar for the first time.
In both cases, normally, a little coaxing would lead straight to devouring them.
But Jiang Cheng didn't want that.
It would be satisfying, but troublesome afterward.
Like now, taking every opportunity to lower her expectations.
Letting her see her position clearly and recognize reality.
That was the wiser choice.
Only in this way would the potential troubles that might arise later be greatly reduced.
Jiang Cheng spread his hands nonchalantly.
He said in a flat tone: "You're right, the thing I lack least around me is beautiful Girls. So, I'm really not interested in those who will bring me trouble."
Hearing this, Zhu Yan's anger flared up again.
This time, she didn't even bother flirting.
With a sudden movement, she leaned over and sat directly on Jiang Cheng.
Pushing Jiang Cheng with both hands, she leaned his back against the sofa.
"Since you think I'm a nuisance, then I'll do it myself. This isn't called trouble anymore..."
...In an extremely hidden villa somewhere in Kyoto, Jolins was pacing anxiously in the spacious living room.
His leather shoes constantly hit the marble floor, making crisp and rapid sounds.
His gaze occasionally turned toward the villa's main entrance.
His fingers unconsciously rubbed the cuff of his laboratory white coat.
There were still some traces of photoresist left there from when he was accidentally smeared while tuning Huaxia's current domestic lithography machine today.
Just as Jolins was burning with anxiety, the glass door outside the villa suddenly slid open without warning.
A figure slowly walked in from outside.
Looking closely, Xia Li was holding a file folder in her arms, walking straight toward Jolins with an expressionless face.
"Mr. Jolins, these are the family reunion visas and medical visas our Young Master Jiang prepared for the three ladies." Xia Li's voice was cold and calm, without any emotional fluctuations.
Jolins eagerly reached for the kraft paper bag.
Opening it, he saw three brand-new Huaxia Green Cards inside and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although for some reason, Jolins had trusted Jiang Cheng deeply from the moment he met him.
But trust was one thing; he also knew that bringing his three lovers from Tyrande over was not an easy task.
After all, this wasn't one person, but three.
"Considering Miss Nara's special situation of being six months pregnant, we specifically applied for an expedited medical channel with the relevant departments to ensure she receives the most timely and professional medical services. The head of the obstetrics department at Renji Hospital will come to her home for prenatal checkups as needed to ensure the health and safety of both mother and child."
"Will the three of them really arrive here tomorrow?" Jolins's voice revealed a hint of disbelief.
"Yes, you can rest assured. The three of them have successfully entered the country and arrived within Huaxia. Now, no one can get them back, including you..."
Jolins certainly understood the meaning behind Xia Li's words.
He was also someone who had experienced many storms and wouldn't be easily intimidated.
But from the moment he met Xia Li, he realized that this woman was by no means ordinary.
Xia Li looked thin and weak, seemingly without any lethality.
But Jolins knew very well that such women were often the most dangerous.
Once she made a move, it would probably only take a few seconds for him to completely disappear from this world.
Thinking of this, a hint of wariness couldn't help but appear in Jolins's eyes.
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Tell Mr. Jiang for me, thank him. Regarding the lithography machine, I will definitely hurry up and handle it."
...Outside the bathroom's floor-to-ceiling window, the sycamore leaves swirled in the wind.
He had just heard Jiang Cheng say that this was a special kind of glass.
You couldn't see inside from the outside, but you could see outside from within.
After looking outside for a while, Zhu Yan lowered the bamboo blind.
The slightly open collar revealed a red hickey below her collarbone, like plum blossoms falling onto white snow.
With some difficulty, she moved her legs step by step toward the shower.
She cursed in a low voice.
"Saying you're not interested, but when it's time to use force, you're not vague at all. This big jerk."
After untying the bathrobe she had thrown on haphazardly.
Zhu Yan slowly walked into the shower stall and stood under the showerhead.
She gently closed her eyes, feeling the warm water fall on her body like fine rain.
The warm steam filled the air, providing a comfortable moisture while also soothing the soreness in her body.
"Now I really know what 'using every ounce of strength' means. Fortunately, it's winter; otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to wear a camisole dress." Recalling the experience just now, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a shy smile.
"This big jerk, didn't he say he has many women around him?? He devoured me like this in one go..."
Although she was grumbling, as she did, the corners of Zhu Yan's mouth couldn't help but slowly turn upward.
She looked like she was secretly enjoying it.
