She took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress her panic.
Her mind raced; she pursed her lips and forced a smile that looked natural but carried a hint of cunning and desperation.
"Chu Ran, stop making a scene. If Big Boss wants to bully someone... he should 'deal' with you first, right?"
Hearing this, a faint smile flickered in Jiang Cheng's eyes.
Xu Yan's answer gave him a pretty good idea.
Although he was a good man and didn't want the women around him to be sad, the Girl didn't seem sad at all.
Thus, Jiang Cheng felt he could conduct a small test.
With a natural yet irresistible force, he reached out and grabbed Jiang Churan's wrist, pulling her slightly toward him.
"Bully? How so? I wouldn't..."
Pulled by Jiang Cheng, their chests pressed tightly together. Jiang Churan squirmed shyly, "What are you doing..."
Normally, she would have leaned in proactively at such words from Jiang Cheng, but her two best friends were still in the car.
Jiang Cheng intended to test the effect, so naturally, he wouldn't let go.
Seeing her bashful expression, the smile on his lips widened as he lowered his head and leaned close to Jiang Churan's ear.
He spoke in a volume only the two of them could hear clearly, yet loud enough for Shen Shuang in the front and Xu Yan beside them to sense the intimate atmosphere.
Lowering his voice, his warm breath brushed against Jiang Churan's ear, "I think you've gotten quite bold, even daring to tease me, hmm?"
As he spoke, under the gaze of Shen Shuang and Xu Yan, Jiang Cheng did something that made their eyes widen slightly.
He didn't do anything more excessive; instead, while still holding Jiang Churan's hand, he tilted his body slightly.
He gently pressed Jiang Churan's hand against his leg.
His fingers rubbed the back of her hand seemingly at random, yet with a clear sense of possessiveness.
Previously, he had never shown such private, intimate gestures toward Jiang Churan in front of Shen Shuang and Xu Yan.
At most, it was putting an arm around her shoulder, holding hands, or kissing her cheek.
Jiang Churan clearly hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to pull such a move in the car in front of her friends.
Her cheeks instantly flushed a deep red, all the way to her ears.
She could feel Shen Shuang and Xu Yan's gazes focusing on her and Jiang Cheng's overlapping hands like searchlights.
She shot another coquettish glare at Jiang Cheng, her eyes filled with seventy percent shyness and twenty percent reproach.
She muttered softly, "I hate you... don't be like this..."
"Don't be like what? Didn't you tell me not to bully Shen Shuang? Then I can only bully you..."
The three women hadn't yet realized the compliance test Jiang Cheng was about to implement.
Seeing Jiang Cheng deliberately bullying Jiang Churan, Shen Shuang even felt a bit of schadenfreude.
"Haha, Ranran, serves you right. That's what you get for not helping me normally; now you can only be bullied by Big Boss..."
Xu Yan chimed in, "Exactly, the two of us can't save you..."
With a beet-red face, Jiang Churan rolled her eyes at her two best friends who were enjoying the drama.
She said coquettishly, "Stop playing, we're still in the car..."
After Jiang Churan said that, Jiang Cheng smiled again, "It's precisely because we're in the car that it's easy to bully you; let's see how you run..."
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Wang Sheng proactively pressed a button.
Soon, an independent screen slowly rose directly behind the driver's seat, perfectly blocking the driver's view of the back row without hindering Shen Shuang in the passenger seat or Xu Yan in the back from seeing what was happening.
Xu Yan was stunned at first, then couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"Wow, as expected of a luxury car, it even has this kind of design..."
Shen Shuang nodded as well, "I have this car too, but it only has a rear partition; it doesn't have this specially designed screen."
Beside her, Xu Yan also sighed with emotion, her eyes full of wonder:
"Wow, it's truly amazing. As expected of a top-tier luxury car, they've thought of everything."
The two were still simply marveling at the high-end configuration, not thinking of anything else.
Listening to them, the corners of Jiang Cheng's mouth curled slightly, the smile in his eyes deepening.
In the next second, he no longer hesitated. He reached out to lightly cup the back of Jiang Churan's neck, lowered his head, and kissed her directly.
This kiss was sudden and full of possessiveness, causing the ambiguous temperature in the car to soar.
Shen Shuang and Xu Yan's voices stopped abruptly. Both froze in place, their eyes widening in shock as they stared at the intimately entwined figures in the back seat.
It wasn't until this moment that they realized belatedly.
Why Wang Sheng had suddenly raised the screen just now.
It wasn't for soundproofing or decoration.
So, he had long anticipated that Jiang Cheng was going to truly bully Jiang Churan.
That was why he proactively and discreetly blocked his own line of sight.
He truly was a professional Bodyguard and driver.
After only two seconds of realization, the cheeks of both women instantly flushed red.
Jiang Cheng's focused profile, Jiang Churan's trembling eyelashes, and her rapidly reddening skin... Holy crap! The visual impact of this scene was too strong!
If they were anywhere else, Xu Yan and Shen Shuang would have tactfully left long ago.
But they were in a car...
In the confined space, the air seemed to have frozen.
Only the faint sound of lips and teeth entangling and the increasingly audible breathing remained.
Neither Shen Shuang nor Xu Yan spoke. A silence mixed with awkwardness, shyness, and a certain indescribable sense of voyeurism filled the air.
Shen Shuang first stole a glance at Xu Yan.
During dinner just now, Xu Yan had secretly touched the back of Jiang Cheng's hand.
Now, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Cheng was pinning Jiang Churan down and kissing her right in front of her.
She wondered what Xu Yan was thinking.
However, from Shen Shuang's perspective, the expression on Xu Yan's face clearly didn't look like jealousy.
After just one glance, she couldn't help but shift her gaze back to Jiang Cheng and Jiang Churan.
She had thought Jiang Cheng's "bullying" would only last a moment.
But ten-odd seconds had passed, and Jiang Cheng showed no sign of letting Jiang Churan go.
In the first few seconds, Jiang Churan had resisted slightly with some muffled whimpers.
But within ten seconds, her resistance visibly weakened.
Although her cheeks and ears were still very red, her body had softened from its initial stiffness, allowing Jiang Cheng to bully her.
Under this visual impact, Shen Shuang's mind uncontrollably flashed back to the moment at the Bar's restroom entrance when, in her flustered state, she had proactively stood on her tiptoes to kiss Jiang Cheng.
Memory overlapped with reality, and a strange heat surged from the bottom of her heart without warning, rapidly spreading to her limbs.
The temperature of Jiang Cheng's lips and the force with which he had taken control after her initial surprise seemed to be awakened once again... After she couldn't help but swallow hard, she also couldn't help but press her legs together.
What's going on? Why is the reaction so strong just from watching people kiss?
