Chapter 1920 - This Is the Only Way Out

Such a harmonious scene was within Jiang Cheng's expectations.

After all, these three women were not like the other women around him.

However, although the three women tried their best to maintain a natural expression on their faces, they clearly didn't know what to say after exchanging greetings.

For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward again.

The private jet glided steadily through the clouds. Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan held their water glasses, their gazes drifting occasionally toward the skyline passing outside the window, then quietly falling back onto Jiang Cheng, the reluctance in their eyes impossible to hide.

Seeing this, Chen Jiaxue couldn't help but ask softly, "Young Master Jiang, we'll be in Chengdu in just over an hour?"

Jiang Cheng looked up at the two women.

How could he not understand? The two of them hadn't been by his side for a while.

He had just been accompanying Chloe, and since the two of them hadn't had the chance to spend time with him, their hearts were inevitably filled with sourness and longing.

Jiang Cheng's fingertips lightly tapped the armrest of the sofa as he spoke with a smile, "Looking at you two... how about you both stay in Chengdu for a few days?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan's eyes instantly lit up. Their previous disappointment was swept away, replaced by eyes full of unbelievable excitement.

Aside from the times they spent with Jiang Cheng on the private jet, the two of them never had such opportunities at any other time.

This invitation to be near Jiang Cheng undoubtedly made the two women feel that their position in Jiang Cheng's heart had grown a little more.

Seeing that they were too excited to answer, Jiang Cheng teased, "What, you two should be free, right? If you're busy, then never mind."

Hearing this, Zhao Yihan immediately spoke up.

Her voice carried a hint of joy, "No, no, we're free! How could we be busy!"

Chen Jiaxue also nodded in agreement, a faint smile spreading across her face, "Right, we're free. Before we became your exclusive Flight Attendants, we had to go to work on time. Now, our hearts and eyes are only on following you; we have nothing else to be busy with."

The two of them glanced at each other, then looked timidly at Jiang Cheng.

"Young Master Jiang, are you serious? Can we really stay in Chengdu for a few more days?"

Looking at Chen Jiaxue's cautious manner, a hint of pity appeared in Jiang Cheng's eyes.

He looked at Chloe and asked in English, "Is it okay if the two of them join us?"

Jiang Cheng had been speaking to the two women in Chinese, so Chloe hadn't understood.

At this moment, she didn't know about Jiang Cheng's proposal for the two women to stay in Chengdu for a couple of days.

When Jiang Cheng suddenly asked this, she clearly misunderstood.

After all, she was someone who had attended parties abroad.

Among the people traveling with Jiang Cheng back then, one or two had also chosen to have two women together.

In an instant, her body leaning against Jiang Cheng stiffened.

"Now?"

Jiang Cheng didn't catch Chloe's drift and instead explained, "After we get off the plane. I'm letting the two of them stay in Chengdu for a few days..."

Hearing this, Chloe looked at the two women.

With one look, her pupils shrank slightly, and a wave of surprise instantly surged in her heart.

This was because she noticed that Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan's expressions were very excited.

It was as if they had received the most precious reward, not hiding their anticipation for Jiang Cheng's suggestion in the slightest.

They were even staring at her expectantly, as if waiting for her consent.

No way? Isn't it said that most Chinese people are reserved and conservative?

Especially when facing an invitation involving multiple people.

How could these two be this excited instead?

Looking at it this way, these two seemed to play even wilder than she did.

No, looking at the two of them, they had clearly agreed.

So, could it be that they had already served Jiang Cheng together before...

In that case, if she were still this coy and hesitant,

Wouldn't she seem petty?

Moreover, everything she possessed now was given to her by Jiang Cheng.

Before meeting Jiang Cheng, she was living paycheck to paycheck.

Back in Britain, she only had a few hundred US dollars on her, and her bank card still had some unpaid bills.

So, when facing the young and handsome Jiang Cheng, she had decisively agreed to the request for one hundred thousand US dollars.

And after following Jiang Cheng, he had transferred money to her one after another. Now, she already had over two million chinese yuan in her bank account.

It could be said that without Jiang Cheng, she would be nothing.

Where would her current confidence come from?

Since Jiang Cheng had spoken, what right did she have to refuse?

She quietly bit her lower lip, suppressing the last trace of hesitation in her heart.

She looked up at Jiang Cheng, the conflict in her eyes fading, replaced by a few hints of feigned calm and submissiveness.

She responded softly, "Um, okay then."

Jiang Cheng didn't realize that he and Chloe were talking at cross-purposes.

He reached out and ruffled Chloe's long hair, then looked at the two women in front of him who were full of joy.

He said with a smile, "Don't be happy too early. I might be a bit busy once we get to Chengdu. At that time, the three of you can just go shopping together."

Seeing the matter settled, Chen Jiaxue hurriedly said, "Got it, Young Master Jiang. We'll get along well and won't cause you any trouble..."

Zhao Yihan also nodded along, "Me too, I'll listen to the two older sisters..."

Looking at the harmonious appearance of the three, the smile in Jiang Cheng's eyes deepened.

He reached out again and gave each of their buttocks a couple of slaps, "Good, as long as the three of you enjoy yourselves. Buy whatever you want, it's all on me."

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang..."

Seeing the two women excited by Jiang Cheng's slaps, Chloe felt a sense of being pointlessly neglected.

Rather than neglect, it was more of an information gap.

After all, there was a language barrier, plus the two women clearly had a relationship of huddling together for warmth, while she was all alone.

Two against one—in this situation, she was clearly at a disadvantage...

At this moment, she felt like an outsider.

She didn't even know what they were saying, let alone compete for favor.

She hurriedly leaned closer, reaching out to gently tug Jiang Cheng's sleeve, her fingertips brushing against his arm.

With a hint of lazy and charming grievance in her eyes, she said softly in Chinese with a foreign accent, "darling, what are you saying? I don't understand..."

A trace of apology flickered in Jiang Cheng's eyes. He reached out to rub her cheek and explained in a gentler tone, "It's nothing. I was just telling them that after we land, if I'm busy handling things and don't have time to accompany you, the three of you should go shopping together. Buy whatever you want, all expenses are on me."

Seeing him dotingly pat her back as well, the corners of Chloe's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

She quietly looked at Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan, deliberately puffing out her chest slightly, her arm pressed tightly against Jiang Cheng's.

She even lightly rubbed against his arm, a hint of hard-to-detect showing off in her eyes.

"Okay darling, then I'll look forward to going shopping with them. With you paying, we'll definitely shop to our hearts' content."

Seeing her start to attack Jiang Cheng with her 'red buttons' again, the smiles on Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan's faces instantly faded a bit.

The two subconsciously glanced at each other, their excitement receding, replaced by deep displeasure and a sense of rivalry.

However, although they were already gnashing their teeth in anger and itching to step forward and pull Chloe away, they didn't dare show even a bit of immaturity because Jiang Cheng was right there.

They could only forcefully suppress the jealousy in their hearts and lower their eyes, pretending not to care. But the "killing intent" that couldn't be hidden in their eyes still quietly leaked out, as if silently confronting Chloe.

Over an hour passed quickly.

The private jet slowly landed on the exclusive apron of Chengdu International Airport.

The cabin door opened, and Jiang Cheng led the way out holding Chloe's hand, with Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan following behind.

Wang Sicong, Qin Fen, and Wang Zheng walked lazily at the very back.

The group walked out along the VIP passage.

Before reaching the exit, Wang Sheng stepped forward quickly and whispered, "Young Master Jiang, there's a situation outside."

"Hmm?"

"There are thirty or forty people blocking the exit, all of them are paparazzi and Streamers. Recently, videos of private jets arriving for pick-ups have become very popular on TikTok. They're likely camping out for Young Master Wang."

Wang Sicong heard it from behind and sneered, "Fuck, who leaked my itinerary? I flew quite low-key this time."

Qin Fen teased, "Brother Wang, you have too much traffic on TikTok now. Forget private jets, people probably camp out even if you're just eating at a roadside stall."

"That's for sure. You kid must be happy now; today you've managed to leech off some of my traffic too..."

"Haha, thanks, Brother Wang."

However, jokes aside, Wang Congcong knew that Jiang Cheng didn't like being photographed.

He immediately stepped forward and asked Jiang Cheng with a hint of caution, "Brother Cheng, how about we take another passage? I know there's a cargo exit over here; we can get out by taking a detour."

"Is this the only way out?" Jiang Cheng replied.

"Yes, other exits require a very long detour."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't speak. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

Watching Jiang Cheng's action, the joking manner on the faces of Wang Congcong, Qin Fen, and Wang Zheng instantly vanished.

They put away their previous playfulness, their brows slightly raised, their eyes carrying a bit of curiosity and certainty.

Even Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan couldn't help but look at each other.

They all knew that Jiang Cheng had heavenly connections.

But they also wanted to see how Jiang Cheng would solve this trouble. The corners of their mouths involuntarily pursed, showing a bit of cautious anticipation for the show.

Only Chloe, because of the language barrier, had a look of pure ignorance in her eyes.

After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up.

"President Jiang?" The voice on the other end sounded clearly surprised. "Why are you calling personally?"

Jiang Cheng went straight to the point, "President Huang, I'm at Longcheng Airport, just landed."

Huang Zonglei paused for a moment, probably quickly digesting this information.

"Alright, President Jiang. What do you need me to do?"

"There are thirty or forty paparazzi blocking the way outside, with their 'long guns and short cannons' aimed at the exit."

Jiang Cheng's voice was unhurried, "I don't want my image to appear in any live stream."

The other end of the phone was quiet for less than a second.

Then Huang Zonglei's voice sounded, already completely professional and decisive, "Understood. President Jiang, please wait a moment. Give me about a dozen seconds."

"I've just arrived at the company. I'll have the Class Advisor on duty take action immediately." He paused, then added, "Roughly when will you be walking out?"

Jiang Cheng glanced toward the cabin door, where the security team was already doing final checks.

"In about a minute."

"Okay. President Jiang, rest assured and go ahead. Leave the rest to me."

Jiang Cheng gave an "mm" and asked, "How has the company been lately?"

It was agreed initially that Jiang Cheng wouldn't interfere in the specific operations of the Xindun Risk Control company. For so long, the company had indeed been making steady progress without any changes.

Huang Zonglei's heart was full of gratitude, and his tone was sincere, "It's very good, President Jiang. Rest assured, I will definitely do my best to manage the company well and not let down your trust."
