Jiang Cheng looked at her, then at Chen Jiaxue.
"The BOSS has a lot of HP, you know that."
The two women fell silent.
Then Chen Jiaxue whispered, "Then... what should we do?"
He looked at the two women.
"What do you two think?"
The two women didn't react for a moment after hearing that.
She sat on the sofa, her fingers unconsciously picking at the edge of the throw pillow.
She had been listening outside the whole time.
She should have gone back to her room.
But she just couldn't get up.
From just now, the joyous sounds of the game had been coming from the bedroom from time to time.
As the two women's heads became bare, her physical and mental urges also didn't cease.
It wasn't until the master bedroom completely quieted down that Chloe suddenly snapped back to reality.
She stood up, walked back and forth a few steps in the living room, then stopped.
Should I go find Jiang Cheng?
Or just go back to my own room?
She bit her lip, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally tiptoed towards the master bedroom.
She hoped Jiang Cheng would see her first when he came out.
At this moment, the door wasn't fully closed, leaving a crack.
Chloe held her breath, leaned in a little, and squinted to look inside...
She had thought the three of them had already broken up, but unexpectedly, they hadn't...
Seeing Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan's state, her heart skipped a beat.
At this moment, she watched the battle on the screen and also felt nervous.
Her fingers clutched the bedsheet, knuckles white, face buried in her arms, earlobes transparently red.
Although she couldn't see very clearly, Chloe wasn't a fool.
She was familiar with the combat mode and frequency of this game.
At this moment, the expressions of the two women were clearly a bit frustrated.
Jiang Cheng's voice came from inside.
Low and with a smile: "Bear with it, it'll be over soon..."
"CEO Jiang, you... you're too naughty..."
No way!
Playing so big!!
She had originally wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing this, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move a single step.
Her face instinctively leaned forward, pushing the door crack open a little wider.
On the screen, it raised its head again.
[Combat status ongoing]
[Critical hit! HP -15]
But now, she only vaguely felt somewhat restless.
Could she still sit still if she went to the bar tonight?
She'd probably have to stand the whole time...
After all, this could be considered a first time.
She couldn't change what had happened before, and it was too late to regret now, but if she could, in the future she only wanted to dedicate all her various firsts to Jiang Cheng.
Logically speaking, Jiang Cheng had played this game many times.
He even studied it all night last time in Great Britain.
But this time, passing the level seemed to be quite difficult...
Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown.
That's not right, he remembered that Jessica's reaction was also quite overwhelmed.
There was no situation where she led Jiang Cheng.
Instead, her character was also always tightly following in front of him.
So at that time, her character was also in the state of being in the Novice Village...
This... could it be that the character design in the game rules has a slightly different structure for Chinese and foreigners?
The numbers slowly jumped.
Then it started again.
[HP -30]
[HP -31]
Chen Jiaxue's breathing was heavy and ragged, but her eyes were fixed on the screen.
Her character's HP bar was only one-third left.
She had unknowingly grabbed Jiang Cheng's shirt corner, her knuckles white.
"CEO Jiang..." She finally spoke, her voice soft and light, "Soon... no more HP... can you..."
Jiang Cheng looked down at her, his gaze lingering on her flushed face for a moment.
[Stop attacking]
No, if this continues, the rhythm will be completely messed up.
His original intention was to reward them.
So he let the two women slowly adapt to the rhythm of this game.
After all, the Novice Village missions were too aggressive and prone to accidents, but now it seemed that being too gentle made them even more nervous.
As he was thinking, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a figure standing at the doorway.
Chloe clearly hadn't expected Jiang Cheng to suddenly look over; her whole body stiffened, and her face instantly flushed red.
Their eyes met.
The next second, she turned and ran.
Her slippers made faint sounds on the floor, quickly disappearing in the direction of the living room.
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and didn't chase.
On the screen, Jiang Cheng's character was still suspended in mid-air, awaiting the next command.
Chen Jiaxue followed his gaze to the doorway and was stunned for a moment: "Was... was someone there just now?"
"Mm." Jiang Cheng retracted his gaze, sliding his finger across the screen. "It was Chloe."
Zhao Yihan suddenly looked up, her face even redder: "She... she was outside the whole time?"
Looking at the two women, Jiang Cheng's lips curved into a smile.
Although the card required two people, would adding Chloe have a critical hit or bonus effect?
Thinking this, Jiang Cheng deliberately nodded: "It seems so, the three of us were too engrossed in playing just now, we left her out..."
The two women exchanged glances, unsure what to say for a moment.
Jiang Cheng looked down at the time.
It was almost nine; if they delayed any longer, they really wouldn't make it to the bar.
"Alright," he said, tapping his finger on the screen. "Last round, quick battle and then we're done."
Chen Jiaxue swallowed, gripping her phone: "Then... what if we can't hold on?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at her, a slight curve to his lips.
"Can't hold on?" he said slowly. "Then we start over, until we can."
Chen Jiaxue's face grew even redder.
On the screen, the Azure Dragon raised its head again, its dark golden scales glowing red.
[Combat status ongoing]
This time, the rhythm was noticeably faster than before.
[HP -45]
[HP -50]
[Combo! HP -80]
Zhao Yihan knelt beside her, watching the numbers flash on the screen, her heart pounding as if it would burst.
Ten minutes later.
The master bedroom door finally opened.
Jiang Cheng walked out first, looking as usual, holding his phone as if checking a message.
Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan followed behind him.
When the two saw Chloe, their faces were incredibly red.
However, everyone present tacitly remained silent.
Jiang Cheng was the first to speak: "Then shall we leave now?"
Jiang Cheng was about to take the three women out, but Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan suddenly exchanged glances and grabbed his arm.
"CEO Jiang..." Chen Jiaxue said softly, "How about... the two of us don't go?"
Jiang Cheng paused, turning to look at them: "What's wrong? Not feeling well?"
Both women shook their heads simultaneously.
Although the two didn't communicate, they had a very tacit understanding.
Chen Jiaxue merely said so, and Zhao Yihan understood her meaning. She bit her lip: "Not uncomfortable... it's just... we want to go shopping."
She bit her lip: "Not uncomfortable... it's just... we want to go shopping."
"Go shopping?"
"Yes, we heard there are many places to shop around Taikoo Li, we want to buy some things." Chen Jiaxue took over, her voice soft, "Tonight... we'll wait for you to come back."
As she spoke, her face flushed slightly.
Jiang Cheng looked at them, his gaze lingering on their faces for a moment, but he didn't think much of it.
Women, they just love to shop.
Seeing Jiang Cheng nod, Chloe, who was beside him, was stunned.
She looked at Chen Jiaxue, then at Zhao Yihan, and a strange emotion suddenly surged in her heart.
Why aren't they going out?
Chloe bit her lip, her mind racing.
Is it because of An Xin?
Tonight, Jiang Cheng was originally going to take all three of them to the bar.
But now Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan are voluntarily saying they won't go...
Is it because they thought An Xin was going?
So they intentionally didn't go, leaving space for Jiang Cheng and An Xin?
As soon as this thought popped up, Chloe's heart did a flip.
If that's the case... then they're too considerate, aren't they?
In contrast, she had just been thinking of following Jiang Cheng to the bar; wouldn't that seem very tactless?
Her eyes darted around, and almost subconsciously, she spoke: "darling—"
Jiang Cheng hummed and looked at her.
Chloe leaned in, smiling sweetly: "Then I won't go either. Let them two go shopping, I'll just wait for you at home."
Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow: "You're not going either?"
"Mm," Chloe nodded, saying naturally, "The three of us will wait for you to come back at home. They'll go shopping, and I'll accompany them."
As she said this, her eyes drifted towards Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan, carrying a hint of "I understand you."
The two women were slightly startled, then seemed to realize something, their expressions becoming somewhat subtle.
Jiang Cheng looked at the three of them, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
After only a moment of contemplation, he pulled a card from his pocket.
"Alright," he said, handing over the card, "Taikoo Li is right below, the three of you go shopping."
The three women's eyes lit up as they looked at the card.
"There's five million in this card," Jiang Cheng said casually, "Tonight, the three of you spend it all—even if you don't spend it all, it's still yours."
At these words.
Chen Jiaxue was stunned.
Zhao Yihan was stunned.
Chloe was also stunned.
Five million?
Even if they don't spend it all?
