Hearing this, An Jingsheng let out a cold laugh.
His tone carried a hint of disdain, as well as the confidence belonging to a top-tier wealthy family: "Those Russian nobles, in the end, still have to beg our An Family to get things done. You aren't unaware of the An Family's influence in Russia. Even if you really marry into their family, even if they are royalty, as long as I am around, I can protect you and ensure you don't suffer the slightest grievance. However, they are ultimately not the optimal choice. I don't want our family property to fall into the hands of those filthy nobles. If it falls into their hands, it would be better to let your cousins and the others have it, even though they aren't anything good either..."
Hearing this, An Xin instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
An Jingsheng paused, his gaze falling on An Xin, his tone carrying a bit more worry.
"But now there is another problem. We are currently in Huaxia, and the situation is different. If you follow Jiang Cheng..."
An Jingsheng sighed: "That kid is ruthless and decisive. While he is a good candidate, his background is complex, and he never lacks people around him. If you follow him and suffer grievances in the future, even if Dad has the ability, I might not be able to protect you immediately. After all, it's not easy for Dad to interfere too much in Jiang Cheng's territory."
Seeing her remain silent, An Jingsheng sighed softly, his tone softening again: "If you don't want to get married, that's fine too. While I'm still around, it would be good to have a few children of your own to raise by your side. It's just that the one you like is Jiang Cheng. With the Jiang Family's bloodline, would he be willing to let them take the surname An?"
An Xin's heart sank abruptly. Her father's words had struck her deepest worry.
"Dad... I know all these things, but I..."
Looking at An Xin's expression, An Jingsheng's heart finally softened.
"Forget it. I've lived to this age, and I understand that matters of the heart cannot be forced. As long as you've thought it through yourself, in this matter, I'll let you have your way."
...
While An Xin and An Jingsheng were having this heavy conversation, Jiang Cheng's car was about to arrive at the hotel.
At this time, The three women in the room were sitting in a row on the living room sofa, waiting for Jiang Cheng.
Chloe saw Zhao Yihan walk out of the bathroom and whisper something to Chen Jiaxue in Chinese.
Although she didn't understand everything, she seemed to hear something about intestines.
Immediately after, Chen Jiaxue asked a question: "Does it hurt?"
She heard these words clearly...
After the two finished speaking, Chen Jiaxue took the white handbag Zhao Yihan handed to her and also went into the master bedroom's bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Chen Jiaxue also walked out of the bathroom, her walking posture looking a bit strange.
Seeing the two of them like this, Chloe couldn't help but frown.
Earlier while the three were shopping, Zhao Yihan had slipped out for a bit while Chloe was changing clothes. When she returned, she had an extra bag in her hand.
She hadn't thought much of it at the time, but now she saw that there was a great mystery behind this bag.
Chloe's gaze fell on the white bag between the two of them, and she finally couldn't help but speak up:
"What did you two buy that you're hiding so strictly?"
Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan exchanged a glance, their cheeks flushing simultaneously, their eyes darting away.
Zhao Yihan hurriedly pulled the bag behind her and gave a soft, evasive answer:
"It's nothing... just some personal items."
As soon as these words came out, Chloe's heart skipped a beat.
Personal items?
Recalling the scene she had glimpsed before they left, she almost immediately guessed what was inside.
While speaking, she also noticed that Chen Jiaxue was shifting her hips very frequently.
So, could it be that these two wanted to continue what happened before leaving with Jiang Cheng, so they were proactively clearing some obstacles...?
No wonder she heard Chen Jiaxue asking Zhao Yihan if it hurt earlier.
No way, aren't these two being a bit too dedicated?
From Chen Jiaxue's walking posture during tonight's shopping and her state when Chloe was peeping, she could actually tell that Chen Jiaxue had no experience in this area.
Thinking of this, Chloe then thought of the satisfied expression on Jiang Cheng's face just now.
She could see that Jiang Cheng enjoyed it very much.
So, was she going to be left alone in her room tonight?
Suddenly, a surge of sourness rushed to her heart.
She didn't want to continue being passive like this, and she certainly didn't want to be excluded by them again tonight.
Chloe looked up, her gaze falling directly on Chen Jiaxue, her tone carrying a hint of blunt testing:
"It couldn't be... that you bought some medicine? You seem like you're still in pain."
These words were too blunt, almost putting 'I saw everything' out in the open.
Chen Jiaxue was first stunned, then instinctively looked toward Zhao Yihan.
Compared to Chen Jiaxue herself, who had been seen in the act, Zhao Yihan was clearly a bit more composed.
After all, she had already been 'installed' before.
So at this moment, she was in a state of a 'newbie who isn't afraid of being drilled'.
She was even faintly looking forward to tonight's debut.
She immediately took over the conversation, her tone carrying a bit of natural composure, while hiding a trace of hard-to-detect boasting: "It's alright. After all, it's the first time. Young Master Jiang has always been very considerate and didn't hurt Jiaxue."
The light sentence was like a thin needle, stabbing hard into Chloe's heart.
She clearly knew that Chen Jiaxue might not have been intentionally boasting, but hearing it, every word seemed to carry the meaning of declaring sovereignty.
So they had already reached that step with Jiang Cheng, and it was only herself who was still hesitating and watching from the sidelines.
A strong sense of unwillingness and jealousy instantly swept over her.
Why could they naturally stay by Jiang Cheng's side, and why did she have to proactively back down tonight?
Chloe's fingertips tightened slightly, the bit of hesitation in her eyes completely dissipating, replaced by a look of determination.
Good, very good.
Since you all disregard me so much, then tonight—
I will insist on joining in. No one should think about monopolizing Jiang Cheng.
