Chapter 398: Unexpected Guest

With Jiang Chen and Luo Peng protecting him, Yue Buqun stood no chance of getting close to Koda Kaoru.

"Jiang Chen, thank you for teaching me to swim, let me treat you to dinner," Koda Kaoru said.

Koda Kaoru’s seamless switch between addressing him as "Mr. Jiang Chen" and "Jiang Chen" indicated her familiarity.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, you’re being too polite."

Before Jiang Chen could even speak, Luo Peng chimed in.

"Didn’t you treat me last time? What goes around comes around; it’s only right."

Remembering how he had been brought back, dead drunk and unconscious, Luo Peng felt somewhat embarrassed, but despite the awkwardness, he wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to enhance their relationship.

"Then I’ll humbly accept your invitation," he replied with elaborate politeness.

"I’m going to change now," Koda Kaoru said with a smile, and turned to head toward the women’s changing room. Even swathed in a bath towel, her hourglass figure still made hearts flutter with longing.

"Jiang Chen, how do you feel?" Luo Peng hurriedly asked after watching Koda Kaoru enter the women’s changing room.

"Feel about what?"

"Quit playing dumb; I saw it all, you guys were embracing."

Luo Peng gave Jiang Chen a sly wink and a mischievous grin.

Jiang Chen was left speechless, and even if he felt no guilt, he couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

It was more than just an embrace; his swim trunks had nearly been pulled off.

"Don’t worry, we’re brothers; we share the good times and face the hard times together," Luo Peng reassured him, clapping his shoulder.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but give a wry smile, pushing Luo Peng’s hand away. "You’re not harboring any... special thoughts about me, are you?"

"What do you mean?"

It took Luo Peng a moment to catch on, but then it hit him.

"Damn! I’m creating this golden opportunity for you, and you suspect me of being GAY?" Luo Peng exclaimed.

Of course, Jiang Chen had been just joking.

"Leave that kind of ’good opportunity’ to someone else next time; I can’t afford it," Jiang Chen said as he headed to the men’s changing room, resolving to keep his distance from Teacher Xiang Tian in the future.

Even if he was slow to catch on, he could vaguely sense that she was no ordinary admirer.

In fact.

Jiang Chen shamelessly thought that she seemed to be deliberately seducing him.

Whether it was wishful thinking or not, interactions with Teacher Xiang Tian always seemed to result in some steamy interludes.

Flirting with a woman was hardly a big deal, especially someone as irresistible as Koda Kaoru. Yue Buqun had been lingering around, looking longingly in her direction.

But Jiang Chen hadn’t yet mastered the art of treating women as nothing more than clothing, as Master Luo did so effortlessly.

Pei Yunxi’s conquest was still a work in progress; he didn’t have the energy to take on any more amorous debts.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, Jiang," Yue Buqun interjected, unable to hold back any longer as he saw the group ready to leave after changing.

It seemed that Koda Kaoru had only just remembered Yue Buqun’s existence.

"Teacher Yue, we’re off to eat, you enjoy yourself," she said.

Yue Buqun managed a strained smile, while cursing inwardly.

He wanted to suggest joining them but couldn’t bring himself to say it.

Jiang Chen and the others, lacking consideration, didn’t even make a token invitation; they simply greeted him and left the swimming pool, leaving Yue Buqun standing alone in disarray.

As they walked out of the swimming pool, discussing where to eat, Jiang Chen’s phone rang.

A call from the devil herself.

"Hello."

Miss Shi got straight to the point, her tone carrying an unprecedented seriousness.

"Come to Jin Hai."

Jiang Chen detected something amiss.

"What’s wrong?"

"Just come over," Miss Shi didn’t bother explaining.

Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

"Alright, I’m on my way."

After hanging up the phone, he apologized to Luo Peng and the others, "Sorry, I’ve got an urgent matter to attend to and need to step out."

"What’s the rush?" Luo Peng asked.

Koda Kaoru asked.

Jiang Chen didn’t explain.

He had no idea what had happened either; Shi Qianxi hadn’t said anything over the phone.

"Teacher Xiang Tian, he’s always like this, a very busy man."

Luo Peng expressed understanding, dismissing it with a wave of his hand, "Go ahead, you better hurry."

Jiang Chen left.

Watching his retreating figure, Koda Kaoru’s gaze flickered slightly.

At this moment.

At the headquarters of East Sea.

Inside the office.

The security uncle stood stiffly, the air conditioning in the office made it cool, but he was sweating profusely, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

The sinister man who had drunk a bottle of his water seemed fine, sitting back in the chair with an air of arrogance, legs crossed, eyeing the expressionless Princess of East Sea sitting in the boss’s chair with a meaningful gaze.

It was over.

This time it was completely over.

The security uncle’s throat was parched, his heart felt dead, thinking his job was thoroughly gone this time.

He just wanted to keep a low profile, be kind to everyone, but who knew he would encounter a madman!

"You can leave now."

In the oppressive atmosphere.

Shi Qianxi finally spoke.

The security uncle who was lost in his thoughts was startled for a moment before realising what was said, quickly nodding in agreement and then shuffling out like a soulless zombie.

"Click."

The door was closed carefully.

The security uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling disoriented, unsure of what fate awaited him.

"Miss Shi, your security quality is inadequate, but the security guard is decent. I suggest you give him a promotion."

The sinister man truly was a man of his word, not forgetting his promise to put in a good word for him.

However, if the security uncle were still there, he probably wouldn’t be grateful, but rather, he would be hopping mad.

Shi Qianxi, probably facing her car being smashed for the first time, and that too right below her own corporate building, was strangely calm, unnervingly so.

"Prince Ye, this is our first meeting, isn’t it?"

"It should be."

The sinister man smiled and nodded.

"Then I shouldn’t have offended you."

"No, you haven’t."

How nonchalant.

Seeing this, Shi Qianxi took a deep breath, uncontrollably releasing a burst of anger within.

Although she had become much more temperate now, decades of temperament could not be completely discarded.

Even while reminding herself to be restrained, she couldn’t help but ask coldly.

"Then why did you smash my car?!"

The sinister man shrugged.

"I didn’t want it to happen like this, but the security downstairs wouldn’t let me in, so I had no choice."

No choice?

They wouldn’t let you in, so you smashed a car?

Under her white blouse, Shi Qianxi’s chest heaved, finally encountering someone even more unreasonable than herself.

In the entire East Sea, there were probably not many who dared to act tough in front of Miss Shi, but the man seemed unaffected by Shi Qianxi’s icy gaze, the rogue’s face bearing a lazy smile.

"I heard that Chairman Shi is not in East Sea?"

Shi Qianxi took a slow breath, clenching her hands, swallowing her pride and saying, "Yes, if you’re looking for my dad, please come back in a few days."

"That won’t do, I’ve had quite a difficult time getting in here."

For the first time, Miss Shi of East Sea felt a nearly helpless emotion, gritting her teeth.

"Then what do you want?"

The sinister man leaned forward, his gaze meaningfully fixed on her.

"If Chairman Shi is not here, then seeking you should be just as good."

Even in her own stronghold, Shi Qianxi couldn’t help but panic inside.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

Fortunately, at that moment, a knock on the door was heard.
