The cigarette in his hand had already fallen to the ground.
In Xiao Dong's memory, An Xin never looked at any boy directly.
But now, she was actually blushing while helping Jiang Cheng fasten his helmet.
Cheng Xiaodong was shocked and found it somewhat unacceptable at the same time.
Who the hell is this Jiang Cheng??
How could An Xin like him?
Cheng Xiaodong rushed in front of An Xin with an angry face.
"An Xin..."
Looking at the white-haired youth who suddenly appeared before her, a hint of confusion rose on An Xin's face.
"Who are you??"
Cheng Xiaodong had originally intended to address An Xin by her full name.
But after receiving her cold gaze, his heart couldn't help but pound.
He automatically added the word "Sister" after her name.
"Sister... my name is Cheng Xiaodong."
"Cheng Xiaodong..." An Xin repeated his name. "Is there something you need??"
"I... I..."
Not far away, the rebellious youths who were with Cheng Xiaodong saw this and began to whisper among themselves again.
"Ah?? An Xin actually doesn't know Xiao Dong??"
"Oh my god, Xiao Dong usually brings us along to deliberately show off in front of An Xin, but it turns out An Xin doesn't even know him at all, pfft."
"Keep your voice down. If he sees you laughing later, you'll be in for it."
That's right, An Xin had no impression of Cheng Xiaodong at all.
And the reason Cheng Xiaodong liked An Xin was only because he was bullied by other kids during a party at Ansheng when he was a child, and An Xin happened to see it and stood up for him.
At that time, Cheng Gui was just the boss of a small real estate company.
And Cheng Dong was just a teenager.
At that time, An Xin was still studying abroad.
When she came back to attend the banquet, she had wine-red hair, and even her clothes were very unique.
She looked like a complete problem girl who loved to play, not at all like the little princess of Ansheng Group.
From the moment An Xin suddenly appeared to stand up for him, Cheng Xiaodong had kept her in his heart.
However, at that time, Cheng Xiaodong's feelings for An Xin were more of a sense of admiration.
After learning about An Xin's identity later, Cheng Xiaodong had been following her in secret.
It wasn't until An Xin returned to the country in recent years that he also began to grow up.
Cheng Xiaodong felt that he finally had the courage to face her.
But he didn't expect that when he faced An Xin in person now, he would be so at a loss, even panicking and shrinking back.
He stammered for a long time, his face turning red, but he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
He was so damn cowardly.
"Well, what do you want from me??" An Xin's tone grew a bit colder as she asked again.
Jiang Cheng could see that Cheng Xiaodong probably wanted to ask about the relationship between him and An Xin.
But under the strong pressure of the ice beauty, he didn't even have the courage to look her in the eye.
So, beneath this rebellious youth's disguised exterior, there was actually a pure heart.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xiaodong was destined to have no chance.
It wasn't because of age; speaking of age, Cheng Xiaodong looked at most a year younger than himself.
It's just that Cheng Xiaodong wasn't Cheng Gui.
He was still just a green youth with nothing in his hands.
Even if it were Cheng Gui, Jiang Cheng believed he wouldn't catch An Xin's eye.
As for why you would say Jiang Cheng was favored by An Xin.
Not to mention his net worth, it was of course because he was peerlessly handsome, well-endowed, and in great physical shape.
An Xin frowned, clearly having little patience for this white-haired youth who had suddenly appeared.
She turned to the Project Manager and said, "Take us to the construction site to have a look; there's no need to wait for President Cheng."
The Project Manager quickly bowed and scraped, "Alright, alright, President An, this way please."
Jiang Cheng originally didn't intend to pay attention to someone with a childish mentality like Cheng Xiaodong.
Unfortunately, the other party was currently staring at him with a fierce but non-threatening gaze.
Jiang Cheng gave Cheng Xiaodong a half-smile.
Then he reached out and straightened the helmet that An Xin had already neatly put on.
He pretentiously adjusted the helmet strap for her.
The sudden movement caused the tips of An Xin's ears to turn slightly red.
But unexpectedly...
She didn't push Jiang Cheng's hand away; instead, she even took a step closer to him.
This intimate gesture made everyone present gasp.
This action clearly told everyone...
That she wasn't repulsed by Jiang Cheng's contact at all.
"Thank you, Jiang Cheng."
Jiang Cheng smiled. "What's there to thank between us? Let's go and see our project."
Wang Congcong watched from the side, clicking his tongue.
His anger from being cursed at by Xiao Dong for no reason earlier was still suppressed.
Now, seeing him looking like he had eaten feces, the anger in his heart could only be considered slightly dissipated.
Wang Congcong deliberately put on an envious look.
He said loudly, "Whoa, I'm getting a bit full from all this PDA..."
Cheng Xiaodong watched helplessly as the goddess he had a crush on for years was held by another man as they left, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.
The silver earring reflected the piercing sunlight, but it couldn't hide the gloom in his eyes.
"Damn it..." Cheng Xiaodong cursed under his breath and slammed the cigarette butt in his hand onto the ground.
Seeing Cheng Xiaodong like this, the several people sitting in the supercars all walked over.
One of them, a red-haired girl, stared at An Xin's retreating figure with some dissatisfaction.
She deliberately added fuel to the fire, saying, "Oh, Young Master Cheng, isn't this the 'future wife' you talk about every day? Why is she so intimate with another man?"
"Shut up!"
Cheng Xiaodong turned abruptly and roared with bloodshot eyes.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng and his party had already entered the construction site.
The Project Manager was introducing the project progress in detail: "Currently, the three underground levels have been completed, and it is expected that construction of the ground section can begin next month..."
Seeing that An Xin was listening very seriously and occasionally asking professional questions.
Wang Congcong leaned in and whispered, "When did you two get together? Didn't you say you weren't together before?"
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow. "Take a guess?"
"Damn, that's not cool!" Wang Congcong bumped Jiang Cheng's shoulder.
As they were talking, a sudden commotion came from a distance.
A string of black sedans emerged from the rising dust, with the bentley leading the way, its license plate flashing so brightly in the sun that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.
As soon as the car stopped, Cheng Gui hurriedly pushed the door open and got out.
Seeing his own father get out of the car.
Cheng Xiaodong immediately walked up.
"Dad!"
Hearing this, Cheng Gui, who was originally in a hurry to put on his helmet and go towards Jiang Cheng and the others, stopped in his tracks.
He turned his head and saw his son coming over with that group of friends; a look of clear displeasure appeared on Cheng Gui's face.
His brow immediately furrowed. "Xiao Dong? Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come to the construction site and cause trouble?"
"How am I causing trouble?" Cheng Xiaodong talked back defiantly, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Cheng at the far end of the construction site. "I just brought some friends to see our family's project."
Cheng Gui's face darkened. "Nonsense! Is this a place where you can just bring people? Hurry up and leave with your friends!"
After saying that, Cheng Gui ignored Cheng Xiaodong and walked quickly toward the direction where Jiang Cheng and An Xin were.
Seeing Cheng Gui coming with his people from behind, the Project Manager felt like he was grasping a lifeline, pushed aside the people around him, and rushed over.
"Chairman Cheng! You've finally arrived!"
However, before he could get close, he was stopped two steps away by the Bodyguards around Cheng Gui.
Ignoring the group of people crowding around him, Cheng Gui's eyes were now entirely on An Xin and Jiang Cheng.
A smile broke out on his face, and he walked over quickly, extending both hands.
With so many people around, Cheng Gui didn't act as familiar as before by calling them Xiao Xin and Xiao Jiang.
"Oh, President An, President Jiang, I'm sorry, I was held up by someone and arrived late."
After saying that, Cheng Gui walked toward them.
His shiny crocodile leather shoes stepped on the sandy ground, instantly getting covered in a layer of yellow dust, but he didn't care at all.
Jiang Cheng shook hands politely. "Uncle Cheng is too kind; we just arrived as well."
"It's truly an honor for our project that you two could personally come to inspect it. Would you like to go to the meeting room first? I'll report the construction progress to you."
An Xin looked at Jiang Cheng, clearly seeking his opinion.
This small gesture made Cheng Gui secretly surprised again.
Since when did this eldest young lady of the An Family look at others' expressions before acting?
"No need," Jiang Cheng shook his head. "We'll just look around. If President Cheng is busy, there's no need to specifically accompany us."
Hearing this, Cheng Gui's gaze swept between An Xin and Jiang Cheng.
At this glance, his eyes couldn't help but widen slightly.
An Xin was actually taking the initiative to stand so close to Jiang Cheng?
He had noticed before that An Xin's behavior toward Jiang Cheng was highly unusual.
Now, in broad daylight, her arm was actually touching Jiang Cheng's.
This action clearly showed she was interested in Jiang Cheng.
But did this An Xin know that Jiang Cheng already had a girlfriend?
Surprise was surprise, and gossip was gossip.
After just a moment, Cheng Gui regained his professional smile.
"How could that be!" Cheng Gui said quickly. "You are the most important investor in this project; I'll show you two around right now."
Hearing this, and combined with how Cheng Gui had just addressed Jiang Cheng, the blocked Project Manager couldn't help but repeat it.
"President Jiang? President Jiang of the Xing... Xingchen Group??" The Project Manager's voice suddenly rose, almost cracking.
This repeated voice sounded exceptionally clear among the group of people.
The several executives behind him looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and regret.
Just now, they had all thought Jiang Cheng was just a friend of Wang Congcong's.
After all, Jiang Cheng was simply too young.
Although his temperament was completely opposite to Cheng Xiaodong's, his age was still apparent.
Jiang Cheng looked at them with a half-smile. "What, do I not look like it?"
These words were like a thunderbolt striking the crowd.
The managers who had just treated Jiang Cheng as Wang Congcong's follower suddenly turned pale.
The supplier who had handed over the mineral water felt his legs go weak, nearly kneeling on the ground.
He remembered that he hadn't even given Jiang Cheng a direct look earlier, and the bottle of mineral water in his hand now felt as hot as a branding iron.
"No, no, no, President Jiang, you must be joking!" The Project Manager waved his hands hurriedly, more beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. "It's our lack of foresight; please don't take offense!"
Seeing the expressions of the Project Manager and the others, Cheng Gui's brow furrowed immediately.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he laughed twice and patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder. "This is Jiang Cheng of Xingchen Investment, the second-largest shareholder of our Eastern Development Zone. The fact that this land could smoothly start construction is all thanks to President Jiang and President An."
