Hearing this, the smile at the corners of Qiao Yinyin's mouth suddenly stiffened.
She had meant that she wanted to go back with Jiang Cheng.
But now that she hadn't booked a hotel, how were they supposed to go back?
At this moment, Qiao Yinyin suddenly regretted her fake generosity from just now.
If she really went back to Jiang Cheng's villa with Bai Xiaoxiao, wouldn't it be awkward for the three of them tonight?
To put it bluntly, who would Jiang Cheng sleep with tonight?
If he slept with her, Bai Xiaoxiao would definitely feel uncomfortable.
But if he slept with Bai Xiaoxiao, she herself would feel miserable.
Clearly, there was no way for the three of them to be together, okay?
Standing to the side, An Xin took in Qiao Yinyin's slightly stiff expression, and a wave of complex emotions suddenly surged in her heart.
She had originally thought that a girl like Qiao Yinyin would just be a well-behaved and obedient character by Jiang Cheng's side.
But looking at it now, Qiao Yinyin was clearly no different from Zhou Ying.
It was just that compared to Zhou Ying, Qiao Yinyin was a tiny bit more cautious.
But even so, An Xin still found it very strange.
After all, she had seen many women around rich people since she was a child.
Back in Great Goose Country, she had seen too many scenes of powerful officials or wealthy tycoons with a woman on each arm, or even using women as stepping stones.
Surprisingly, even during her time studying abroad, she was surrounded by all kinds of Second-generation rich kids.
These people seemed to have no qualms about flaunting their wealth and indulgence.
Everywhere she looked, there were men with one girl in their left arm and another they were kissing on the right.
Even those girls wouldn't show jealousy or sadness on their faces when they saw these Second-generation rich kids kissing other girls.
Not only were they not sad, they might even act provocatively to pique the other party's interest, begging for a kiss themselves.
They were all so-called "scumbags."
Yet An Xin discovered that these girls—Yu Xiaoxiao, Zhou Ying, and now Qiao Yinyin—
Were worlds apart from the girls she had seen before.
An Xin could keenly sense that these girls had genuine feelings for Jiang Cheng.
They weren't just after his money.
And the way Jiang Cheng treated them was also vastly different from other Second-generation rich kids.
He clearly didn't just see them as playthings; he was sincerely nurturing them.
He gave them all sorts of resources and opportunities.
Jiang Cheng would even act like an ordinary boyfriend.
Accompanying them to various occasions.
He didn't just take these girls back to a hotel as simple tools for venting his desires.
Seeing this reminded her of what Jiang Cheng had said before.
"I really do fall in love with them, and I really do just want to live for the moment."
An Xin looked at Jiang Cheng.
At this moment, he still had that lazy appearance.
It was as if he had handed all decision-making power over to the other two girls.
After her brow furrowed for a moment, An Xin remembered the scene of Jiang Cheng talking to her father earlier.
She hadn't seen her father show that kind of expression in a long time.
An Xin suddenly recalled what An Jingsheng had said to her before.
"People who can stand at the top are not ordinary people; they never do anything without a purpose."
So, did Jiang Cheng bring Qiao Yinyin and Bai Xiaoxiao together really just to let them choose?
Or... was there a deeper meaning?
An Xin quietly observed the subtle atmosphere between Qiao Yinyin and Bai Xiaoxiao.
She spoke up, "The An Group has arranged hotels for all the guests participating in this event. Were you not notified? If that's the case, I can have someone arrange it for you immediately."
Seeing that the goal of the two women going home together hadn't been reached yet,
Jiang Cheng smiled and declined, "No need. A hotel isn't as convenient as home. Besides, the rooms at my place are empty anyway, so they might as well stay there."
Hearing this, the corners of An Xin's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
In a slightly teasing tone, she said to Jiang Cheng, "It seems your Xingchen Media has a very special 'corporate culture.' The boss personally takes care of the employees' accommodation issues."
Jiang Cheng shrugged with an innocent face, "That's for sure. They're my own people, and I'm a considerate boss. This is all part of the 'job.'"
A flash of cunning crossed An Xin's eyes as she suddenly changed the subject, "Doesn't your company have another employee? Is she going to stay at your house too?"
Damn, this question was no different from the one she asked when taking photos of Qiao Yinyin and Bai Xiaoxiao earlier.
With a playful smile on his face, Jiang Cheng replied unhurriedly, "Sorry, would you believe me if I said there aren't enough rooms at home?"
A similar answer naturally earned a similar eye-roll.
An Xin now knew for sure that these two were definitely Jiang Cheng's girlfriends.
Earlier, he only took photos of the two of them, and now he was only taking the two of them home.
If they're not girlfriends, what are they?
An Xin was stunned for a moment, but she quickly recovered, a light laugh playing on her lips, "You really are a 'fair' boss."
After saying that, An Xin deliberately turned her gaze to the two girls and continued, "I remember you seem to have a TikTok filming event tomorrow. Traveling back and forth like that is so inconvenient. How about this, I'll still arrange rooms for you so you don't get too tired."
Hearing this, Qiao Yinyin quickly shook her head and responded with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Manager An, but our filming is in the afternoon, so we have plenty of time. Besides, I didn't bring any luggage, so there's no need to trouble you with arranging rooms."
Bai Xiaoxiao, who was by her side, actually really wanted to refuse as well, but unfortunately, she couldn't seem to find an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yinyin added, "There are too many people at this event, so we'll try not to cause any trouble if we can help it. Oh, and Xiaoxiao can stay with me; after all, we're sisters from the same company."
In reality, Qiao Yinyin didn't want Bai Xiaoxiao to follow them to Jiang Cheng's villa.
But Jiang Cheng had already given her plenty of face just now.
Qiao Yinyin knew what she had to do.
Although Jiang Cheng hadn't explicitly said he would take Bai Xiaoxiao back,
His conversation with An Xin clearly meant he intended to take her along. Given the situation, it was useless for her to object.
Hearing Qiao Yinyin's words, Bai Xiaoxiao's heart jolted.
Her large, naturally cute eyes,
Were now blinking several times like a startled fawn.
For a moment, Bai Xiaoxiao even wondered if she was hallucinating.
Because she hadn't expected Qiao Yinyin to say that at all.
