Looking at Bai Xiaoxiao's expression, Qiao Yinyin asked with a smile, "Are you... unwilling??"
"No... no, I'm willing. I'll just sleep with you. It's perfect, I have many questions I want to ask you."
As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she deliberately took half a step forward.
Her warm fingers lightly hooked around Qiao Yinyin's wrist.
There was a hint of a pleasing warmth in her fingertips.
Her deliberately upturned lips still bore a faint, lingering blush.
As if afraid the other wouldn't believe her, even her eyes were filled with a touch of timid sincerity.
Seeing this, An Xin's eyelids trembled slightly.
When she had looked through the crack in the door earlier, the two women were still in a state of confrontation.
After just a few sentences, the two of them were already walking arm-in-arm.
Actually, she was very angry when she first discovered Jiang Cheng's other girlfriends.
That was because she didn't understand Jiang Cheng at the time.
She didn't believe that love between three people could exist in this world.
But as she interacted with these people, An Xin had to admit that she seemed to have been somewhat brainwashed by the situation.
Because it wasn't just Jiang Cheng's attitude toward them; it was also clear that these women's feelings for Jiang Cheng were indeed love.
As for why Jiang Cheng had been so indifferent to the confrontation between the two women just now, after some analysis, An Xin suddenly had an epiphany.
Jiang Cheng was testing them.
Testing Qiao Yinyin's bottom line, testing Bai Xiaoxiao's ambition, and even... testing An Xin's reaction.
Since both women had spoken, An Xin spoke up as well.
Jiang Cheng asked casually, "When do you and Annie plan to return to Magic City?"
An Xin thought for a moment and replied, "It should be in the next few days. After all, she's fallen behind quite a bit in her studies, so she needs to get back to class soon."
A smile touched the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth as he teased, "That little rascal must have been as happy as a little monkey not having to go to class lately! I happen to be heading back as well, so why don't we fly back together on my plane?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's invitation, a subtle, almost imperceptible change flickered across An Xin's face.
"Together?" An Xin's breath hitched for a beat, and a faint heat crept onto the tips of her ears.
She lowered her gaze, hiding the ripple of emotion that flashed through her eyes.
Two seconds later, she looked up and nodded. "Sure, just send me a WeChat message once you've set the time. If Annie finds out she's going with you, there's no telling how high she'll jump for joy."
The lightheartedness in her voice carried a hint of excitement that even she didn't notice... Soon, Jiang Cheng got into the bentley continental with Qiao Yinyin and Bai Xiaoxiao.
As for Bai Xiaoxiao's luggage, he naturally ordered a Bodyguard to go and fetch it.
After the bentley continental's doors were unlocked, Jiang Cheng was the first to get into the driver's seat.
After the two women glanced at each other, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded and smiled at Qiao Yinyin.
Then, she took the initiative to open the rear door and sat in the back seat.
After getting in, Bai Xiaoxiao made no move to invite Qiao Yinyin to join her in the back.
Instead, she silently closed the door.
Her action was clear: she was leaving the front passenger seat for Qiao Yinyin while she sat in the back alone.
The status between the two had already been silently established during their earlier confrontation.
Furthermore, Qiao Yinyin had taken the initiative to invite her to join them.
Thus, Bai Xiaoxiao had completely lost any desire to confront Qiao Yinyin.
Naturally, she wouldn't compete with her for the front passenger seat.
Looking at the closed rear door, a faint smile played on Qiao Yinyin's lips.
She familiarly opened the front passenger door and sat inside.
The moment she buckled her seatbelt, she turned her head, her gaze falling on Jiang Cheng as she said flirtatiously, "darling, why do I feel like Manager An has a bit of a thing for you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng glanced sideways at Qiao Yinyin.
With a very calm expression, he started the car.
As the car slowly pulled out of the parking space, Jiang Cheng's voice followed: "Don't overthink things."
However, Qiao Yinyin didn't stop there.
"I'm not talking nonsense," she said, tracing circles on the center console with her fingertip, her tone certain. "Based on my years of experience, she definitely likes you."
Seeing Qiao Yinyin ask this, Jiang Cheng didn't show any signs of displeasure.
Bai Xiaoxiao, sitting in the back, also chimed in, "Exactly, I also feel like Manager An has a bit of a thing for you. A girl's intuition is very accurate, you know."
Qiao Yinyin turned her head and smiled at Bai Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao is right. When she came in, I felt like her eyes were on you the whole time."
Jiang Cheng shrugged. "Don't worry. Even if she likes me, there's nothing that can be done about it."
"Why??" Qiao Yinyin pressed.
"Yeah, why??" Bai Xiaoxiao followed up.
Seeing the two women acting in concert.
Jiang Cheng, besides being surprised, didn't know whether to be happy or what.
The relationship between the two of them had developed a bit too quickly.
"Don't you know?? An Xin has a child, and she's also a wealthy woman."
"Ah, I knew she was wealthy, but I didn't know she had a child."
Annie's matters were An Xin's private business, so Jiang Cheng didn't intend to elaborate.
"So, putting the child aside, with An Xin's net worth, even if she doesn't find someone of equal status, she'd at least look for a live-in husband. I don't fit either category, so rest assured."
Under the assumption that they didn't know Annie wasn't An Xin's biological daughter.
The two women simply thought Jiang Cheng was expressing a polite refusal.
After all, given Jiang Cheng's net worth, his family probably wouldn't let him marry a woman with a child.
On the other side, after making their appearance, An Jingsheng also took An Xin and left the event first.
The black car windows blocked out the noise from the outside world.
As soon as the car started, An Xin couldn't help but speak, her voice tinged with urgency, "Dad, what exactly did you say to Jiang Cheng just now?"
An Jingsheng looked at the flowing neon lights outside the window, his tone more relaxed than ever before.
"Girl, our An Family... is going to take a different path."
Just now, when An Jingsheng held her hand and walked onto the stage.
An Xin already understood in her heart exactly what the "path" An Jingsheng spoke of meant.
"Dad, I mentioned this to you before, but weren't you..." An Xin's words were interrupted by An Jingsheng.
"Before, I was always hesitant, not knowing whether to choose to stay in Huaxia or return to Russia. However, the situation in Russia is not optimistic right now, so if we want to establish a foothold in Huaxia, we truly need to return to the right path. This is the correct road to achieve long-term development..." An Jingsheng's voice was low and firm.
He slowly turned his head, the light from the streetlamps falling just right into his eyes.
There was a glimmer of determination in them, like someone burning their bridges.
An Xin hadn't seen this sharp light for a long time.
This was clearly how An Jingsheng looked when he was young, maneuvering and dominating the business world.
"Dad, what exactly is Jiang Cheng's background?"
An Jingsheng shook his head. "I don't know."
"You don't know? Then why did you...?"
"You're going to ask why I trust him so much, aren't you? No, daughter, I've told you before: don't trust anyone. There are no absolute friends or absolute enemies in this world, only absolute interests. Only when you hold the interests that others want in your hands are you safe, so I'm not worried... It's just that this Jiang Cheng is very interesting. He's a bit like me—like I was when I was young."
