Chapter 27 - So You’re a Good Person Now?
Chapter 27: So You’re a Good Person Now?
The next day, early morning.
Jiang Che slowly opened his eyes and, seeing Ah Qing lying beside him, couldn’t resist giving her a kiss on the face.
He now truly understood what it meant to be charming and passionate; he had not expected that the obedient and sensible little maid would have such a fiery side.
“Um~Master~” Ah Qing also woke up leisurely. Seeing Jiang Che’s gentle face, she buried her head in his chest, too shy to look up.
Jiang Che tenderly stroked her head. “You rest a bit more, I’ll go instruct the servants to cook some porridge for you.” After saying this, Jiang Che got up, got dressed, and left the bedroom.
Ah Qing watched him leave, inhaling the scent he left on the pillow. At this moment, her heart felt incredibly peaceful.
…
Arriving in the living room, Jiang Che instructed the other maids to prepare porridge for Ah Qing and then left the villa.
Meanwhile, at the Shen Corporation building, in Shen Qingqiu’s office.
“I’m telling you, don’t interfere in my matters anymore, or don’t blame me for disregarding our apprenticeship relations,” Shen Qingqiu warned Ye Chen with a cold expression.
She couldn’t understand why he had to meddle in her personal affairs. Was he idle because he didn’t have to practice martial arts after coming down the mountain?
“But, Senior Sister… that Jiang Che doesn’t seem like a good person…” Ye Chen said somewhat bitterly, not understanding why his Senior Sister couldn’t see his good intentions.
“He doesn’t seem like a good person, so you stalking me makes you a good person?” Shen Qingqiu replied disdainfully with a cold laugh.
If Jiang Che hadn’t been there yesterday and she didn’t want to leave an impression of a ladylike demeanor, she would have already taught Ye Chen a lesson.
“I…” Ye Chen was left speechless. Indeed, what he did yesterday was wrong, and now being questioned by Shen Qingqiu, he really had nothing to say.
He couldn’t possibly say that he feared Jiang Che would harbor ill intentions towards her. That might make Shen Qingqiu think he’s foolish, especially since he had realized that Jiang Che was just a rich young master without any martial prowess.
How could he possibly harbor ill intentions towards Shen Qingqiu? Even if he wanted to, he was incapable, and moreover, there was no evidence for such claims.
“Alright, I don’t want to hear your explanations.”
“There won’t be a next time for this. I don’t want such situations to happen again. You can go now,” Shen Qingqiu waved her hand, effectively dismissing Ye Chen.
Ye Chen didn’t linger and immediately turned to leave the office. He knew Shen Qingqiu was angry at the moment, and any further explanations would be counterproductive, possibly leaving a bad impression in her heart.
Returning to his security post, Ye Chen looked somewhat sullen and irritable. He couldn’t understand why, but he felt a strong animosity towards Jiang Che.
“Could it be because he is my Senior Sister’s fiancé?” he wondered. “To be honest, if I were Senior Sister, I too would choose someone of similar family background rather than a nobody with potential…”
Besides, he had not yet expressed his feelings to Shen Qingqiu. Realizing this, Ye Chen felt enlightened! He was convinced that Shen Qingqiu’s lack of interest in him was due to his lack of power and status, just being a mere security guard.
“It must be so…” he thought. “But how do I start building my own connections?” Although he possessed extraordinary medical skills and mysterious martial arts, without someone to guide him, his ambitions were futile.
He suddenly remembered something about his Fourth Senior Sister, Lin Xiyan. “Didn’t she mention she’s the young miss of the Lin family?”
His eyes brightened. Although Lin Xiyan’s family might be slightly less prominent than Shen Qingqiu’s, they were still one of the major families in Linjiang City!
Having already offended Shen Qingqiu, he couldn’t use her to build connections anymore. Resolved, Ye Chen returned to Shen Qingqiu’s office to get Lin Xiyan’s contact details.
Shen Qingqiu didn’t think much of it and gave him the contact information, happy to have him stop bothering her and instead pester her junior sisters.
Ye Chen successfully obtained Lin Xiyan’s contact and immediately called her using his newly bought Yali brand phone.
“Hello, who is this?” A sweet female voice answered, sounding somewhat puzzled.
“Senior Sister, it’s Ye Chen!” Ye Chen said excitedly. Unlike Shen Qingqiu’s cold demeanor, Lin Xiyan was very gentle.
“Little Junior Brother, have you come down from the mountain?” Lin Xiyan sounded surprised and then curious.
“Yes, Senior Sister, I have descended. Where are you now? I’d like to meet you.”
“I’m at Linjiang University. Wait for me at the university’s coffee shop. I’ll be there after my classes.”
“Okay, Senior Sister.” Ye Chen hung up and hailed a taxi, heading straight to Linjiang University.
