Chapter 233: Chapter 233: 233: The King's Return (30)

Jiang Ye didn’t go back with Chuzheng, as he had other matters to take care of.

Although Chuzheng wanted to drag him back, Jiang Ye was too quick and eluded her grasp.

Next time, she’d catch him!

The struggle between Jiang Ye and Master Liu had officially begun, and Chuzheng occasionally helped him, aiding Jiang Ye’s rapid growth.

The territory and business that Hei Jin had expanded recently were quickly shrinking.

Jiang Ye was capable; what he lacked was luck.

Chuzheng gave him luck, and with it, he soared high.

While Jiang Ye was still pondering how to dismantle Hei Jin’s operations, the news of Liu Saner’s betrayal suddenly spread.

Caught red-handed.

Liu Saner’s explanations were futile.

It was said that Master Liu beat him half to death on the spot.

Without Jiang Ye and Liu Saner, dealing with Hei Jin became much easier for Jiang Ye.

“Why didn’t you answer my calls?”

Chuzheng opened the video call, and Jiang Ye’s splendidly handsome face appeared on her phone screen.

Chuzheng set down her phone, flipped through the documents on the desk, and spoke in a cool tone, “Something the matter?”

“Don’t you miss me?”

Jiang Ye, wearing a bathrobe, loose and casually tied, made his toned chest visible.

As Chuzheng casually flipped through the files, she asked, “Where are you?”

“Uhm, in City Z, came to discuss some business.” The young man leaned in closer, “Don’t you miss me? I miss you a lot.”

Chuzheng didn’t engage in conversation, instead, she continued to mark the document with her pen.

For a moment, only the sound of the pen scraping over the paper was heard.

Jiang Ye was used to her like this.

He felt thankful that she even accepted his video call.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

If he sent a text message and it was really important, she would respond with a few words. If it was a trivial text, it would be like dropping a stone into the ocean.

She would explain that she did not reply to spam texts.

His messages were considered spam texts?!

What kind of person was she!!

Couldn’t they have a proper romantic relationship?

Jiang Ye talked with Chuzheng in a rambling fashion for a while before he attended to his own matters.

He didn’t end the video call, so Chuzheng could see what he was doing over there.

Chuzheng leaned on her chair, the document now closed, and watched the youth in the video with a detached expression.

When Jiang Ye finished his business and realized the video call had been cut, he sighed helplessly.

Jiang Ye got ready for bed.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a faint noise at the door.

He reached for the gun under his pillow.

The door was pushed open, and since the light wasn’t turned off, Jiang Ye saw the person who entered at a glance.

His grip on the gun loosened.

But he didn’t get up and instead closed his eyes.

The edge of the bed sank, a warm body leaned in, and fiery kisses fell upon him. Jiang Ye was kissed until he was powerless to resist.

He couldn’t keep up the act and was forced to open his eyes.

“How did you get here?”

“You said you missed me.”

Jiang Ye felt his heart warm and tremble because he had said he missed her, and so she came.

Any displeasure from the video call earlier vanished in an instant.

Her affection for him didn’t need to be spoken aloud.

In Chuzheng’s first notion,

the Good Person Card misses me.

That means wanting to see me.

Then just go.

The second notion is that the Good Person Card is a bit troublesome, better to lock it up for convenience.

Jiang Ye kissed Chuzheng lightly, “When I was little, I always wished that what I wanted would appear in front of me the moment I opened my eyes.”

Chuzheng replied seriously, “Your dreams come true very quickly.”

Jiang Ye: “…”

“From now on, every time I open my eyes, I’ll be able to see what I want,” Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow.

Chuzheng lowered her head to kiss him, pondering the difficulty of this wish, even feeling that Jiang Ye was being unreasonable, to see what he wanted just by opening his eyes. To see the Antarctic, do I have to move you there in the middle of the night… After a long pause, she hummed in agreement.

Good Person Card!

Must be cared for!

Good Person Card!

Must be pampered!

Amidst Jiang Ye’s dazed kisses, he suddenly gasped and asked, “…How did you get a room card?”

“`

“I bought this hotel,” Chuzheng pulled off his clothes.

Jiang Ye: “…”

It conjured in Jiang Ye’s mind an image of a throng of people, rudely awakened in the middle of the night, amidst chaos.

Just because she wanted to enter his room.

He couldn’t help but chuckle, leaving Chuzheng baffled.

“It’s nothing, just found it funny,” Jiang Ye looped an arm around Chuzheng’s neck. “Why are you so good?”

“Really?”

The little thing doesn’t think I’m good at all.

–

Jiang Ye rolled out of bed, stumbled into the bathroom half-awake, and came out slightly more alert after freshening up.

He leaned against the bathroom door, gazing at the girl lying on the bed.

The dawn’s light cast a soft, warm glow over her features, seeming to wash away some of her aloofness.

He gently curved his lips upward. How nice.

Chuzheng wasn’t asleep, just resting with her eyes closed.

Feeling Jiang Ye’s stare, she had no choice but to open her eyes: “What’s up?”

Jiang Ye blinked. “You weren’t sleeping?”

“Mhm.”

Her body was still a bit frail; she was tired, but she couldn’t show it in front of Jiang Ye.

A girl can never say she can’t!

Chuzheng propped herself up, and as the blanket slid off, some ambiguous marks were revealed.

Jiang Ye’s eyes darkened, and he walked over with a smile, pulling her back down and kissing her, “I’m still sleepy, sleep with me a bit more.”

“You seem pretty lively to me,” Chuzheng exposed his lie.

“Can’t I just want to sleep with you?” Jiang Ye chuckled softly, coaxing her. “Just a little longer.”

His fingers traced Chuzheng’s arm, wondering how there could be so many marks on her even though he hadn’t exerted much strength the night before.

She’s too delicate.

Thinking about it, Jiang Ye reminisced the bone-melting sensation of the previous night.

Instantly feeling his thoughts wander, he dared not touch her carelessly anymore and just held Chuzheng close.

“Did you have anything to do with the Lui Saner incident?”

“No.” Nonsense! What does Lui Saner have to do with me? Nothing at all!

Jiang Ye’s belief was not swayed by Chuzheng’s denial.

Lui Saner would not betray Master Lui.

Not in the current situation, at least.

And the only one capable of this…

He could only think of her.

Jiang Ye couldn’t help but kiss Chuzheng, his eyes gradually filling with a hazy desire.

“Baby…”

Chuzheng pushed him away, and Jiang Ye looked at her, confused: “What’s wrong?”

“What did you call me?”

“Baby,” Jiang Ye smiled. “Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Baby.”

Chuzheng got out of bed without expression and went to the bathroom with her clothes.

Jiang Ye: “…”

Jiang Ye sat for a while.

He got up and followed her to the bathroom door, knocking on it: “If you don’t like me calling you that, I won’t. What do you want me to call you? Xiao Zheng? Xiao Chu?”

The bathroom door opened, and Chuzheng was already dressed.

“Whatever.”

“You don’t like me calling you baby?”

“No.”

Jiang Ye was somewhat suspicious: “But your reaction was quite strong…”

Compared to her usual calm and unperturbed demeanor, it was indeed a strong reaction.

“You can call me that,” Chuzheng said. “I don’t mind, shut up.”

So annoying.

Jiang Ye fell silent for a few seconds, then lifted his face with a smile.

However, after that, Jiang Ye only called her baby in bed, when carried away with emotion; other times, he would call her Xiao Chu or his wife.

Chuzheng stayed there for a few days.

After Jiang Ye had dealt with everything, they went back together.

It was only when they were leaving did Jiang Ye find out that Chuzheng had come over by helicopter that night.

How much money does she actually have?!

Could he let her spend without restraint in the future if theirs got used up, considering the rate at which he earned?

Jiang Ye suddenly felt Alexander the Great’s dilemma.

It seems he still needs to work hard making money.
