Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng deliberately replied, "Sister Xin, it really is a coincidence..."
Upon hearing the title "Sister Xin," An Xin's eyebrows twitched.
She gave Jiang Cheng a reproachful look before glancing at the four Rolls-Royces parked nearby.
Then it landed on Chloe and the other two behind him.
The three women have adjusted their mindset.
They all knew they couldn't compare to An Xin, but their brief exchange revealed that Jiang Cheng and An Xin weren't currently in a romantic relationship.
This discovery gave them a chance to catch their breath.
Chloe was still holding Jiang Cheng's arm.
Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan were still standing a little further back.
All three of them wore perfectly timed smiles.
After glancing at them, An Xin asked Jiang Cheng meaningfully, "Where are you all... planning to go?"
Jiang Cheng glanced down at Annie, who was still clinging to him, then looked at the sky and said calmly, "Let's go back to the hotel first. We've had a long and tiring journey."
Anne immediately protested, "I'm not tired! I'm not tired!"
However, her protests were clearly ineffective because no one paid any attention to her.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, An Xin looked at Wang Congcong, Qin Fen, and Wang Zheng: "By the way, I've set up an exhibition hall in the Eastern Development Zone here. When it opens, I'll be showcasing some of my special collections. If you're interested, you can come and take a look..."
After all, they are second-generation rich kids, and they're tired of eating, drinking, and having fun all the time.
Upon hearing about this rare and expensive item, all three of them visibly became excited.
"Since you organized it, I definitely have to go..."
"I want to go too, there must be lots of good stuff..."
"Sister Xin, will those items be sold then?"
An Xin smiled and said, "Hmm...it's hard to say. Some of them will naturally be sold, and we'll send you invitations later..."
Hearing this, Qin Fen looked at Jiang Cheng and teased, "Sister Xin, don't be hypocritical like last time. Things Brother Cheng can buy, we can't..."
"Hmm...it's hard to say. Some of them will naturally be sold, and we'll send you invitations later," An Xin replied.
Hearing this, Qin Fen looked at Jiang Cheng and teased, "Sister Xin, don't be hypocritical like last time. We can't buy the things that Brother Cheng can buy."
Upon hearing this, An Xin glanced at Jiang Cheng, her gaze carrying an indescribable quality: "There's nothing we can do about it; Jiang Cheng is rather special."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.
The curve of her lips had deepened a little more.
Qin Fen clutched his chest and leaned back dramatically: "Well, I haven't even had my drink tonight, and I'm already full."
Wang nodded in agreement: "I'm full too, this tastes like dog food."
Wang Sicong laughed so hard he slapped his thigh: "Alright, alright, that's enough, you two. What Sister Xin said is the truth. What are you comparing yourselves to Brother Cheng for? If you're full, just stay in the hotel tonight. Brother Cheng and I will play for you tonight..."
After Wang Congcong finished speaking, An Xin suddenly asked, "Are you going to a bar tonight?"
Upon hearing this question, Wang Congcong's expression visibly stiffened.
Her eyes also unconsciously turned to Jiang Cheng.
It implies that you should answer this question yourself.
Jiang Cheng glanced at him, then at Qin Fen and Wang Zheng beside him, whose expressions were full of anticipation for a good show, and felt a little speechless.
These three have been behaving like this since just now.
It was as if Jiang Cheng had encountered some major event.
That's it?
He's seen it all.
Jiang Cheng remained calm and spoke with composure:
"Yes, Brother Wang said there are a few nice bars around here, let's go check them out."
Wang Congcong nodded frantically beside him: "Yes, yes, Chengdu has a very strong nightclub culture. There are a few places with a really great atmosphere. I specially asked someone to reserve the best booths for us... Let's go have some drinks and snacks to relax."
He hadn't finished speaking—
Annie suddenly peeked her little head out from Jiang Cheng's arms, looked at An Xin, and asked with bright eyes, "Can I go?"
Jiang Cheng looked down at the little dumpling in his arms with a puzzled expression.
However, it was clear that Jiang Cheng's gaze had no effect on Annie.
She still blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent.
Jiang Cheng refused, saying, "You can't go. That's not a place for children..."
Upon seeing this, Annie's lips immediately curled into a smile: "Then can Mommy go?"
"Mom, you don't think you've ever been to a bar before, have you?"
There was a moment of silence.
Wang Sicong's words came to an abrupt end.
Then his eyes lit up, and suppressing a laugh, he whispered to Qin Fen, "Coming, coming."
The excitement of "the show is finally about to begin" almost overflowed from his eyes.
Qin Fen and Wang Zheng exchanged a glance, then took a half-step back and gave each other a look.
He replied in a similarly breathy tone, "This girl is my biological daughter."
Wang Zheng silently gave a thumbs up.
An Xin looked down at her daughter without saying a word.
But something seemed to flicker in those usually aloof eyes.
Annie pressed on, "Do you want to come along? I've heard bars are really fun! They have lots of lights and music!"
As she spoke, she swung her legs, giving off an "I know everything" look.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't speak, An Xin remained silent for two seconds.
Then her gaze shifted from Annie's face, past Chloe, past Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan, and finally landed on Jiang Cheng's face.
"Jiang Cheng."
Before An Xin could finish speaking, the redness that had just faded from the tips of her ears seemed to reappear slightly.
After a two-second pause, she continued, "May I go?"
After he said that, the surroundings fell completely silent.
Wang Congcong's mouth was slightly open, his eyes darting back and forth between Jiang Cheng and An Xin, his face full of the standard "this is going to be good" expression.
Qin Fen and Wang Zheng exchanged another silent glance, then lowered their heads in unison, pretending to study the patterns on the tiles on the floor.
The three women couldn't help but frown.
To be honest, Jiang Cheng didn't expect An Xin to want to go with him.
The red tip of An Xin's ear stood out under the airport lights.
A night breeze stirred, causing her long hair to sway slightly, her face still bearing that aloof and unapproachable expression.
Jiang Cheng looked at her for two seconds.
He suddenly smiled.
"You want to go?"
