Perhaps because the kiss lasted a little too long, Gao Wen suddenly felt a bit short of breath.
The world before her eyes seemed somewhat unreal, but Chen Jiang in front of her felt incredibly real at this moment... In fact, only Gao Wen herself knew that she actually had a rather chuunibyou (delusional) personality.
When I was little, I loved watching cartoons, especially magical girls. I dreamed that one day I could transform into one and save the world.
As she grew older, she had to give up her impossible dream of saving the world, so she quickly changed her dream to becoming a big star and began to work towards that goal.
Fortunately, Gao Wen comes from a good family and inherited her parents' excellent genes, giving her a face that could make her a big star.
So her path to becoming a big star wasn't actually that difficult...
But perhaps because things went too smoothly, she always felt that life after becoming a big star was very different from what she had imagined.
Although she was protected by her elders and didn't have to be exposed to much of the dark side of the entertainment industry, she also didn't experience the wonderful things she had imagined.
There was no heart-wrenching love, no friendship forged through shared struggles for dreams, only pure profit-driven motives... Of course, she wasn't a child anymore, and she understood the rules of this world, but she still couldn't help but harbor some expectations.
As for relationships, if she wanted, she would have plenty of men to choose from, but she always felt that such simple love was missing something... until Chen Jiang pulled her away from under the chandelier, and she felt that what she had been waiting for had finally come true.
How can perfect love be achieved without a hero rescuing a damsel in distress?
That's really what she thought.
And now it seems she's starting to get what she wants...
Gao Wen slightly raised her head, reached out and wrapped her arms around Chen Jiang's neck, looked into his eyes, and softly asked:
"So, you don't want to do anything else?"
As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, her white teeth biting her pink lips, looking at Chen Jiang provocatively.
Chen Jiang rolled his eyes, then put her down.
"You've had too much to drink. A kiss is enough here, what else do you want?"
"Oh~~"
The filter shattered instantly, Gao Wen pouted, and obediently sat up.
Okay, even if they're not a deeply affectionate couple, they're still a classic pairing of bickering lovers.
Unfortunately, Chen Jiang doesn't watch TV dramas at all, let alone idol dramas.
Although he had a girlfriend, his mindset hadn't really changed. In fact, after things settled down, he became more relaxed. He tugged at his collar and lay down on his side on the sofa, looking at the colorful things on the table in front of him, feeling a bit of a toothache.
"What's the use of all this junk...?"
"Of course it works!"
Gao Wen quickly took the flowers. They were a testament to their relationship and a token of their love, so she couldn't let them get lost.
"If you say it's useful, then it's useful."
Chen Jiang was too lazy to argue with her about such trivial matters.
"So what's next?"
"Let me make this clear first, I'm really not hungry right now."
Gao Wen turned to look at him, then shook her head as well:
"I don't know either... How about we go home?"
"Alright."
Chen Jiang really didn't care; it was just a different place to lie down and scroll through his phone.
Gao Wen also stood up, put on her mask, and, holding two bouquets of flowers, prepared to leave the store with Chen Jiang.
However, just as Chen Jiang stood up, his phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, Chen Jiang was somewhat surprised to see it was Yan Wenshuo. He was astonished that Yan had time to call him. Chen Jiang quickly answered the call.
"Hello, Uncle Yan?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was Yan Wenshuo's, and he sounded quite happy.
"Xiao Jiang, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much, just free. Is there anything you need?"
"Haha, it's nothing serious. Didn't I tell you the other day that your aunt came back today? I told her about your situation. I was thinking of asking you to come over tomorrow, but your aunt insisted on seeing you today. Come over to my place when you have some time."
"My aunt wants to see me, so of course I have time," Chen Jiang said with a smile. "Wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
"Alright then." Yan Wenshuo chuckled, then asked, "So, are you coming yourself, or should I have someone pick you up?"
"I'll go by myself, Uncle Yan," Chen Jiang replied.
"Okay." After finishing his business, Yan Wenshuo hung up the phone.
Chen Jiang turned to look at Gao Wen, a hint of helplessness on his face:
"You heard it too... The situation was sudden, an elder called me over, you'll have to go back first."
"I see......"
Gao Wen was a little unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. Besides, she wasn't prepared to meet Chen Jiang's elders.
He could only nod, and then said:
"Then I'll head back now... You have to come back and keep me company after you're done."
"I understand. I'll definitely be back tonight. You can take a shower and wait for me."
Chen Jiang pinched her blushing cheek, teased her, and pulled her hand out of the store. They each got into their cars.
Gao Wen's car was quite understated; it was an unremarkable Volvo. While it wasn't particularly stylish, it met her requirements for being low-key and safe.
After Chen Jiang's Aston Martin left, the car slowly started up and disappeared into the traffic.
......
Half an hour later, Chen Jiang drove to OCT, the real gathering place for the wealthy in Shenzhen.
Although Yan Wenshuo did not send anyone to pick him up, he did send someone to fetch him inside. Otherwise, it would not be easy for someone with an unfamiliar identity to enter this wealthy neighborhood.
This is a gathering place for various long-established tycoons in Shenzhen. As the head of a group with assets worth hundreds of billions, Yan Wenshuo is not the most wealthy person here, because there are even wealthy families here who started their fortunes in the 1980s and 1990s.
However, R&F Group is a genuine industrial conglomerate with a large number of industries under its control, involving tens of thousands of employees and controlling some key production materials.
Today, Yan Wenshuo, as chairman, may not have accumulated as much wealth as these established figures.
But when it comes to actually exerting their influence, in terms of social impact and the political power they can mobilize, they're not far behind...
After following the burly man who claimed to be the driver for a while, Chen Jiang arrived at a villa, where the driver stopped at the door.
Upon entering the villa, the first thing that catches the eye is a beautifully decorated garden, planted with many flowers and vegetables. The area looks like it's seventy or eighty square meters, almost as big as his old house.
Once you get here, you can see the full view of Yan Wenshuo's four-story villa.
Although it lacks the modernity and youthfulness of Chen Jiang's own riverside mansion, perhaps it is precisely this sense of weight and age that prevents Chen Jiang from feeling that the place is too old.
After walking a few more steps, we arrived at the front gate of the villa.
Yan Wenshuo, dressed in sportswear and looking much younger, was standing on the steps with his hands on his hips, waiting.
Upon seeing Chen Jiang approach, he immediately smiled and waved to him.
"Come on over, your aunt has already had someone start preparing the meal."
"Go inside first and get to know your aunt."
