Jiang Churan took over the conversation: "That's right, Yan Yan also passed her test in one go. What do you think of her driving skills?"
Shen Shuang had always loved making these kinds of jokes, and Jiang Cheng was used to it... but Jiang Churan's gaze and the probing nature of her words were starting up again.
"I haven't seen her drive, so how would I know? But from this, it seems like you dancing Girls might all be naturally gifted when it comes to driving..."
If that were really the case, Jiang Cheng would be quite excited.
Although he had the 'Great Sage Returns', if two Girls could take turns in the driver's seat...
Not only could he rest, but he could even drink milk tea while looking at the scenery in the mountain valleys. It would truly be one of life's great blessings.
Hearing this, both Jiang Churan and Shen Shuang blushed.
Seeing Jiang Churan give him a coquettish glare, Jiang Cheng pulled her into his arms: "Alright, no more joking. Once you're done with your work, I'll have someone take you to pass Subject 4..."
Although Jiang Cheng didn't say it explicitly, based on his past behavior, the three women could roughly guess what he was planning to do.
Xu Yan also thought of this. Given her personality, she actually should have spoken up just now to ask Jiang Cheng if he could take her along too.
Having someone take Jiang Churan to the test—didn't that imply a guaranteed pass?
Xu Yan opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
When a person has no ulterior motives, they can ask things quite freely, but once they have a guilty conscience, they become hesitant and overthink everything.
Instead, it was Shen Shuang who asked, "Wow, having someone take Chu Ran to the test? Big boss, are you planning to buy Chu Ran a car?"
Jiang Cheng nodded: "That's right. You can look into what models and brands you like. Wait until I come back next time and we'll go buy it..."
Jiang Churan refused: "The place I'm living now is very close to the Dance Academy, I don't need a car."
"If we buy it and you don't want to drive it, we'll just leave it there. You'll be able to use it one day, and having a car is always more convenient." Jiang Cheng's tone was unquestionable, carrying a hint of doting dominance. "For example, a porsche Panamera or a Maserati Ghibli—their appearances are quite suitable for Girls. If you like SUVs, a porsche Macan, a cayenne, or even a Ferrari Portofino or Roma would work. It mainly depends on what you like."
Every single one of the brands he casually listed cost over a million.
"Wow!!!" Shen Shuang, in the passenger seat, was the first to cry out. She turned around, her face filled with genuine envy and a hint of playful jealousy.
"I'm so jealous! Do you know how long I had to talk to my dad when I bought my little Ferrari? I nearly talked my lips off! I had to guarantee my final grades and promise to buy fewer bags in the future, and in the end, I still bought it second-hand..."
She let out an exaggerated sigh and looked at Jiang Churan: "Chu Ran, I really envy you! Your first car in life starts at this level of luxury? A Panamera? A Maserati? My god... Chu Ran—can you... share your boyfriend with me a little? Not much, just a little bit of 'Money-power' and 'Girlfriend-pampering energy' will do!"
Jiang Churan was amused by Shen Shuang's antics and played along.
She covered her mouth with a light laugh and then deliberately said in a patronizing tone, "Sure, I'll share a bit with you."
"Really??"
Jiang Churan nodded with a smile, then her tone shifted, mimicking the occasionally infuriating way Jiang Cheng spoke: "Of course, I've said this many times already. As long as... Jiang Cheng agrees, I won't be angry..."
Seeing Jiang Churan look toward him, Jiang Cheng decisively refused: "Sorry, not interested. Rejected for being ugly."
"Pfft—" Both Jiang Churan and Xu Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shen Shuang instantly "bristled." She spun around, feigning anger, and threw a punch at the air: "I'm seriously... going to throw up! Jiang Cheng, you!"
"Shuang Shuang, you handle him..."
Jiang Churan covered her mouth and looked at Xu Yan with a smile: "I can't handle him. Why don't you let Yan Yan try? If Yan Yan succeeds, you can even drive her car..."
Suddenly being put on the spot, Xu Yan pretended to be calm and replied, "Forget it, I wouldn't dare. Besides, Sister Shuang can just drive your car, and I'll just be responsible for sitting in the passenger seat."
It was possible that Jiang Cheng's "rejected for being ugly" comment had stirred up Shen Shuang's rebellious side.
She huffed twice: "Big boss, if even I'm considered ugly by your standards, I'm afraid it'll be hard for you to find a second girlfriend in the future!"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, as if he were truly considering the logic of her words.
Then he countered very seriously, "What do you mean 'hard to find a second one'? Your logic is flawed."
He paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Shen Shuang's face for half a second. "How much confidence do you have in your... charm, exactly?"
"Wow, you really are—I'm seriously going to throw up! Fine, fine, I can't win this argument, I can't win! That's a low blow! Chu Ran! Save me! I'm really going to be killed by this 'Onmyoji' of yours! My HP bar is empty!"
Jiang Cheng remained as calm and composed as ever, even blinking his eyes to look particularly innocent: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. When did I ever 'mess with' you?"
"You..." Shen Shuang was choked up by his playful words, wanting nothing more than to reach across the seat and pinch him, but the distance between them made it impossible.
She glared huffily at Jiang Churan and began to divert the fire: "Chu Ran! Look at him! He only knows how to bully me! Make him... make him go bully Yan Yan instead!"
Jiang Churan finally managed to stop laughing. She sat up straight from Jiang Cheng's embrace and wiped away the tears she'd laughed out.
"That's right, Brother Cheng. Don't just focus on bullying Shuang Shuang..." She then let her gaze drift meaningfully toward Xu Yan. "'Bully' Yan Yan a bit too. She's thin-skinned, so maybe... it'll be more fun?"
Seeing herself being mentioned again, Xu Yan's face instantly turned bright red once more.
Pls: Once the word count gets high, recommendations stop. Lately, the volume has been pitifully low. Could you masters please help recommend this in the Book Drought Square? Thank you so much! Things might get better after the two short dramas finish filming, though I don't know when that will be..
