Seeing that Jiang Cheng's expression wasn't quite right, Zhao Linger's brow furrowed.
She scratched her head. "Uh... as for whether it felt good, I should be asking you..."
Jiang Cheng curled his lip. "I was lying there watching both of you panting for breath—how could I not feel good??"
As soon as he said that, the imagery became vivid. Zhao Linger couldn't help but reach out and lightly punch Jiang Cheng. "Chairman Jiang, you're the worst, always bullying me..."
After speaking, Zhao Linger glanced toward Yu Xiaoxiao with a slightly flushed face. "I think I've taken up too much of your time. Don't mind me, go ahead and get back to work."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet..."
Seeing Jiang Cheng leaning halfway over to banter with the beauty in the car, Su Wan, who was sitting in the back seat of the rolls-royce, couldn't help but lean forward and ask Yu Xiaoxiao, "Sister Xiaoxiao, do you know this beauty?"
Yu Xiaoxiao had previously only noticed that Chen Xueer's attitude toward Jiang Cheng was a bit strange; she hadn't expected Zhao Linger and Jiang Cheng to seem so flirtatious with each other as well.
Yu Xiaoxiao smiled. "She is Zhao Linger, a manager at Xingchen Investment and Jiang Cheng's capable assistant."
Hearing this, a sense of crisis instantly welled up in Su Wan's expression.
It was just like the feeling she had when she first learned about the relationship between Yu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Cheng.
In Su Wan's eyes, she wasn't afraid of some college students or beauties who were celebrities like her.
But a woman who was both capable and beautiful made her very wary.
Two hours later, the car drove up to the villa entrance.
Xia Li was already waiting at the foyer.
She saw Jiang Cheng get out of the car, but before she could greet him, she saw Yu Xiaoxiao getting out of the passenger seat and Su Wan from the back seat.
One was dressed in professional attire with a sharp temperament, while the other was exquisitely dressed with softness in her eyes—styles completely different from the twins last night.
Xia Li's face stiffened instantly.
When Jiang Cheng brought the twins back last night, she had already spent a sleepless night.
Although most of the time it was her consciously eavesdropping.
But at the same time, her hearing was very good, so her hands had barely been dry all night.
Looking at these two very different beauties, Xia Li's legs subconsciously squeezed together.
Not noticing Xia Li's small movements, Jiang Cheng personally helped Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Wan carry the bags containing the new camisole nightgowns they had just bought.
Then, remembering something, he called out to Xia Li, "Cook some bird's nest and white fungus soup. Let it cool down and have Mother Zhang bring it up."
Then he gestured to the two women. "Let's go upstairs and play for a bit first, we'll eat something later."
Xia Li's voice carried a hint of imperceptible tension. "Alright, Young Master Jiang."
The next day.
When Jiang Cheng woke up, the sunlight outside had already spilled through the gap in the curtains.
The warmth beside him was long gone, but two shallow indentations remained on the bedsheets.
At this moment, his body still carried the scent of different perfumes mixed together.
Glancing down, two nightgowns were draped over the foot of the bed. One was a black camisole with lace edges and a thin strap—that was Yu Xiaoxiao's.
The other was a wine-red silk one with a loose neckline—that was Su Wan's. It clearly wasn't forgotten in a hurry, but seemed to have been left there on purpose.
Jiang Cheng reached out to grab the two nightgowns. His fingertips brushed against the silky fabric, and he let out a low laugh.
He raised a hand to rub his brow; fragmented images from last night were still flickering in his mind.
He could only say that the combat power of these two women was more than ten times stronger than that of the twins.
Though his waist felt a bit sore, it was undeniably pleasurable.
After casually draping the nightgowns over a nearby chair, Jiang Cheng reached for his phone and opened WeChat.
He first looked for the chat box with the twins.
He had agreed yesterday to see them off to the high-speed train to Jiangsu today.
After opening WeChat, he found that the two girls had actually changed their tickets to the earliest train.
Si Qing: "darling, we changed to an early train and are already at the station. No need to trouble you to make a trip~"
Si Nian: "We managed to snag tickets last night and bought them. It was too late so we didn't tell you. We're already on the train now!"
It was followed by a tongue-sticking-out emoji.
Looking at the screen, Jiang Cheng's fingertips tapped out a reply: "Let me know when you arrive safely. Tell me directly if you need anything."
Not two seconds after sending it, he received an instant reply from the twins.
"Got it! We'll send you some beautiful photos~"
Beautiful photos?
The kind of 'beautiful photos' taken while standing in a dense crowd of people.
However, even though he thought that, Jiang Cheng didn't say it to spoil the mood.
Instead, he replied: 'Waiting for the beautiful pictures.'
After replying and freshening up, Jiang Cheng put his phone in his pocket and went downstairs.
Just as he turned the corner of the stairs, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the living room sofa.
Isn't this Xu Lei?
Although Xu Lei was sitting on his leather sofa worth millions...
His posture was very upright, exuding the aura of a financial elite.
He was sitting very formally while playing with his phone.
It was a low-profile business model with no extra patterns on the casing, except for a subtle embossed logo in the corner indicating it was exclusive to CMB VIP clients.
He wasn't actually looking at the phone; the screen was stuck on a blank memo page.
The fine lines at the corners of his eyes hid the calculation and tension unique to financial people.
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow and paused his steps.
Yu Xiaoxiao and Su Wan had left half an hour ago; he didn't know if they had bumped into Xu Lei on their way out.
Although Zhu Yan and Xu Lei already knew Jiang Cheng had other women around him and there was no need to hide anything.
But Jiang Cheng was a good man; thinking of Zhu Yan's well-behaved appearance, there was no need to deliberately make her uncomfortable about such things.
"Old Xu, why did you come over?"
Hearing Jiang Cheng's voice, he stood up almost instantly. His movements were swift but not rushed, and the shoulder lines of his well-fitted custom suit didn't shift a bit.
As he stood, he tucked his phone into his inner pocket and lightly tugged at the hem of his suit jacket to ensure it hung smoothly over his trousers without a single wrinkle.
This was an instinct developed from years of dealing with high-end clients; even when asking for a favor in private, one had to maintain a decent appearance.
A smile piled up on his face as he leaned forward slightly. "Young Master Jiang, I'm out on some personal business today and happened to pass by your place. I thought it had been a while since we last met, so I came by to sit for a bit." He paused and added, "When I arrived, I specifically told your housekeeper not to disturb you. If you hadn't woken up, I would have waited a bit longer. I didn't interrupt your rest, did I?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at the wall clock; it was already ten-thirty.
He said casually, "Not at all, I just got up and haven't had breakfast. Have you eaten? I'll have Xia Li add another portion."
"No need, no need," Xu Lei waved his hands hurriedly, saying with a smile, "I ate before I came out. You go ahead and eat, don't mind me."
Jiang Cheng didn't insist. He called out toward the kitchen, "Xia Li, bring breakfast over," before turning back to Xu Lei. "Old Xu, it's not our first time dealing with each other. Speak plainly."
The smile on Xu Lei's face faded slightly. He first bowed slightly and scanned the living room to confirm no one else was around.
Only then did he lean forward half a step and speak in a lowered voice, "Chairman Jiang, actually, I came this time because over twenty billion was transferred out of your account..."
He stopped mid-sentence, observing Jiang Cheng's expression.
The previous two times Jiang Cheng transferred out several billion, he knew the other party was definitely making large investments, but he hadn't dared to ask more.
Even though he hadn't asked, Xu Lei knew that Jiang Cheng's returns were huge every time.
This time, nearly twenty billion more was transferred, which was almost all of Jiang Cheng's liquid capital at CMB.
He really couldn't hold back and wanted to ask if there was a chance to hop on board.
Jiang Cheng didn't respond, but first picked up the hot milk on the table and took a sip.
Without even looking at Xu Lei's expression, Jiang Cheng knew what he wanted to do.
However, he didn't point it out.
Because of Zhu Yan, Jiang Cheng would definitely let Xu Lei on board.
But even so, there was no need for Jiang Cheng to bring it up proactively.
Seeing the expression on Xu Lei's face become increasingly awkward, Jiang Cheng then feigned ignorance and gave a hum of acknowledgement.
Xu Lei swallowed and finished the second half of his sentence: "The last two times you transferred out several billion, the returns doubled afterwards. My heart has been itching for a while now."
