Chapter 1925 - Retreat to Advance

Right at this moment—

[Ding!]

[Special social scenario detected, triggering limited-time reward options!]

[Option One: Take An Xin to a bar. Reward: Special Skill Card - Retreat to Advance.]

[Option Two: Refuse An Xin's wish to go to a bar. Reward: Terminal Straight Man Cancer Honorary Title (with side effect: All female favorability decreases by 50% for the next three days, and you obtain the exclusive aura of'Single by One's Own Strength')]

Glancing at the system's second reward, Jiang Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

...

So, what kind of psychology is this second option based on?

Self-destruction?

Clearly, Jiang Cheng didn't have that kind of masochistic tendency.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at the description of the 'Retreat to Advance' skill card.

[Retreat to Advance: Appears to be yielding, but is actually advancing. Sometimes, shifting down from the top will reveal a new development zone.]

[This card will be strictly calculated based on the level of pleasure during its use...]

After reading it twice, Jiang Cheng felt a bit confused.

This was the same method as the card used on Jessica back in Great Britain.

Only this time, it had an additional 'dual' prefix.

So, is this system card specifically for use with Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan?

Jiang Cheng could only exclaim inwardly: It's really not that he sometimes goes astray, it's that the system has led him astray. He was forced, it was definitely not what he wanted.

While swearing one thing, Jiang Cheng's heart said another as he inwardly exclaimed: System Daddy is awesome!

An Xin wasn't in a hurry to answer Jiang Cheng, but the corner of her mouth clearly lifted slightly. Her eyes were fixed tightly on Jiang Cheng, with an indescribable meaning in her gaze, making it very plain that she wasn't joking.

"If you're willing to let me go, I'll go." After saying this, she even suggestively glanced at the three women beside Jiang Cheng, then continued: "However, if it affects your fun, I won't go..."

She could clearly see that the women Jiang Cheng brought this time were different from before.

Girls like Zhou Ying, Qiao Yinyin, and Yu Xiaoxiao were clearly good women at first glance.

Yu Xiaoxiao was proper and capable, while Zhou Ying and Qiao Yinyin's ages were evident; they were clearly young Girls who liked Jiang Cheng.

But Chloe and the two Flight Attendants behind him were obviously mature women.

Although these three didn't dare to make any provocative moves towards her, a sense of charm could be seen in their eyes and brows. Even their actions around Jiang Cheng carried a sense of trying to please.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, these two Flight Attendants seemed to have been there last time she took Jiang Cheng's plane.

She knew how wild the rich and nobles in Russia could be; she wasn't an innocent Little Girl.

Seeing the two following behind Jiang Cheng, she understood that their relationship with him wasn't simple.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Cheng remembered the scene when An Xin first met Zhou Ying.

Her expression back then wasn't as relaxed as it is now.

At that time, she probably looked down on people like him.

But during the last intangible cultural heritage event, when she saw Qiao Yinyin, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Peng Shiliu, her emotions were clearly already very stable.

And today, she was even more composed, seeming to have gotten used to it.

She didn't even have the desire to understand Chloe and the others...

Looking at it this way, her level of acceptance seemed to have greatly increased again...

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng glanced at the Character Scanning System.

He saw that An Xin's friendliness value towards him was steadily fixed at 88 points.

This indicated that Chloe and the other three women hadn't affected her state of mind at all...

"How could it affect it? If Sister Xin comes along, it will definitely be a lot of fun... And I personally really enjoy playing with inexperienced women like you..."

Hearing this, An Xin smiled: "Really? Don't you prefer those who are more experienced?"

"That depends on the situation. Sometimes, taking someone who's never been before is more exciting..."

Given their understanding of Jiang Cheng, Wang Congcong and the other two exchanged glances upon hearing his reply.

Clearly, they had deeply misunderstood the words 'inexperienced' and 'never been before'.

Seeing An Xin being teased by Jiang Cheng yet again without her realizing it, Wang Zheng couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Cheng, your skills are still superior."

Qin Fen chimed in: "Exactly, I feel inferior..."

An Xin was already feeling somewhat flustered and shy from Jiang Cheng's gaze.

Wang Zheng speaking up at this moment gave her the perfect chance to change the subject.

"If I go, I won't spoil your fun, will I?"

Seeing An Xin look at them, the three of them felt a rare sense of pressure.

Compared to the internet celebrities and spicy Girls they usually had around them, An Xin's temperament and aura were indeed very different.

Wang Zheng, who was more familiar with An Xin, glanced at Jiang Cheng.

After all, Jiang Cheng had already agreed to let An Xin go just now.

So, Wang Zheng spoke without much burden now: "Um... If sister-in-law is willing to go, it's definitely our honor! Right, Brother Cheng?"

"Exactly, Brother Cheng would be over the moon if you go," Wang Congcong added.

"Right, right, right, Brother Cheng is a good man, he likes having someone keep him in check..." Qin Fen said.

Seeing these three jerks hinting at his suffering again, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Suppressing that little flicker of excitement inside, he looked at An Xin, his gaze carrying a meaning only he knew: "Then let's go together..."

"Okay." Although An Xin's tone was light, the redness at the tips of her ears seemed to deepen just a little.

Wang Sicong stifled a laugh beside them and whispered to Qin Fen in a hushed voice: "I bet fifty cents there'll be a good show tonight."

Qin Fen whispered back: "I bet a dollar."

Wang Zheng silently raised his hand: "I bet two dollars."

The three exchanged a look, then simultaneously averted their gaze, pretending nothing happened.

Chloe stood beside Jiang Cheng, watching this scene, and suddenly felt that tonight's trip to the bar...

might not be too easy.

Seeing the matter settled, An Xin then spoke to Annie: "Annie, come down."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable tone.

Hearing this, Annie deliberately pouted and wrapped her little arms even tighter around Jiang Cheng's neck: "No way~ I want to stay with Daddy Jiang Cheng!"

Clearly, acting cute was useless.

Three seconds later, under the pressure of An Xin's silent stare, Annie finally couldn't hold on and let go.

After sliding from Jiang Cheng's arms to the ground, she immediately hugged Jiang Cheng's leg, peeking out with half her head, blinking at An Xin.

"Mommy, is it okay if I just hug Daddy's leg?"

An Xin: "..."

Jiang Cheng looked down at the little head, unable to suppress the curve of his mouth.

"Annie, listen to your mom. I'll take you out to play when I have some free time in the next couple of days..."

"Really?"

"Really."

"It's a promise then, I'll be waiting for you~"

"My dad knows she's back today and had people prepare her favorite food. I'll take her back first..." Having said that, An Xin picked Annie up.

"Goodbye, Daddy Jiang Cheng! See you tomorrow! Remember to miss me!"

"Got it, you little rascal. Go on back~."

Annie was satisfied and buried her face back into her mom's shoulder, mumbling something quietly.

An Xin didn't catch it and looked down at her: "What did you say?"

Annie lifted her head, her eyes sparkling, her voice even lower: "Mommy, was my performance just now amazing?"

An Xin: "..."
