Chapter 662: 533 I can pick locks

Shi Qianxi didn’t argue, frowning thoughtfully.

Up to this day, she was no longer that socialite who sought fun every day.

Ouyang Cheng’s words were enough to suggest that the situation might really be more serious than she had imagined.

"Do you think I should go back home?"

Back at the hotel.

Shi Qianxi and Jiang Chen entered the room, and their parents were already aware; it was no longer necessary to consider the opinions of others.

"I think you should follow Director Ouyang’s advice,"

Jiang Chen replied prudently.

Shi Qianxi sat down on the couch.

"Then wouldn’t I be deserting?"

"A truly clever person does not fight for momentary superiority, only a fool brandishes his courage for the moment."

Shi Qianxi smiled.

She sighed.

"You do make sense, but it feels like I have no face to go see my dad if I just go back like this."

"I think Uncle Shi would be very happy just to see you,"

Jiang Chen said softly.

Shi Qianxi looked at him, her eyes warm.

"It’s rare to hear some pleasant words from you."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

"Do you know who I saw in the investigation hall just now?"

Shi Qianxi suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled, "Who?"

"The man we saw last night in 2312 seems to be a high-ranking official in the investigation hall. He was also very surprised when he saw me, and then he hurried off, as if he was afraid I would point him out."

"..."

Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

"So you see, many people appear respectable but who knows what they really are behind closed doors."

"Would you like something to eat?"

That question was too profound and not suited for discussion, so Jiang Chen changed the subject.

"I’ve already eaten."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"What’s the matter? Do you really think they would dare to mistreat me? I made them go out of their way to buy Korean beef."

Jiang Chen chuckled helplessly.

As is well known,

the price of beef from Korea can be as expensive as gold, not something the average person can afford.

"Ding-a-ling-a-ling..."

At that moment, a cell phone ringtone sounded.

"It’s my dad."

Shi Qianxi picked up the phone and walked to the balcony.

She held her arm with one hand and her phone with the other, spoke for about seven or eight minutes, and then came back in.

"My dad also wants me to go back. "

"Director Ouyang has been operating in Korea for so long, he must understand a lot more about Korea than you do; let him handle it. Go back and keep Uncle Shi and Aunt Meng company,"

Jiang Chen continued to persuade.

Shi Qianxi was quiet for a while, and finally nodded.

"Then let’s leave tomorrow."

Jiang Chen coughed lightly.

"You go back first,"

Shi Qianxi looked puzzled, "Aren’t you coming?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Why?"

Shi Qianxi asked, confused.

"I need to find Miss Lan."

Sometimes the truth is the best falsehood.

"What do you need her for?"

"I’ve acquired a restaurant she owns in the Capital City; there are some details I need to discuss with her."

Shi Qianxi realized, but was still somewhat puzzled.

"Is it that urgent? Wouldn’t it be the same to talk once she’s back in the country?"

"I’ve spent 1.5 billion, how could I not be anxious?"

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile, vividly acting the part.

"1.5 billion?"

Shi Qianxi was astonished, "What kind of restaurant is that expensive?"

"That’s why I’m so worried."

"Could you have been fleeced by her?"

Shi Qianxi said oddly.

"How could that be."

Jiang Chen laughed: "She’s not that kind of person."

Shi Qianxi neither agreed nor disagreed, "Her current problems are even more serious than Golden Sea’s, and she probably won’t have time to deal with you for the time being. It might not be appropriate for you to go see her now. And be careful not to get dragged into it."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile, "I’m not involved in her business in Korea. Surely Korea wouldn’t execute the innocent, would they?"

"Anyway, I’ve warned you. Whether you listen or not is up to you."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Alright, you must be tired. Rest up, I’ll take my leave now."

Having said that, he stood up, intending to return to his room.

But Shi Qianxi quickly followed, speeding up to block his way.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Chen looked puzzled.

"You can’t leave, stay with me tonight."

What kind of bold statement was that?

However, Shi Qianxi was composed, looking directly into Jiang Chen’s eyes without a shred of the shyness that a lady of her standing should possess.

Jiang Chen was taken aback, then immediately said, "Stop messing around!"

"I just want you to keep me company, I won’t do anything."

Shi Qianxi stood firmly in front of him, not budging an inch.

These words.

They seemed to usually come out of a man’s mouth.

Only when they came from Miss Shi, it felt just the same.

After all, she had many a scandal to her name.

"Have you lost your mind? The directors, including Ouyang, are all here. If they find out, do you still want to be the acting chairman?"

Jiang Chen said in a stern voice.

"What does that matter? Just because I’m the acting chairman, can’t I fall in love? Besides, it was my dad who asked you to come. Who dares say anything?"

Shi Qianxi turned a deaf ear, unconcerned.

"..."

Jiang Chen was left speechless.

"No."

He insisted on leaving, but Shi Qianxi ran over and stood with her arms stretched out, firmly blocking the door.

"I haven’t seen you for so long, and I’ll be leaving tomorrow. Can’t you keep me company just for one night?"

Her eyes were shimmering, casting a pitifully charming glow.

Jiang Chen knew that this lady was most likely pretending, but that’s how men are. Understanding is one thing, having the heart to act on it is another.

Even though he could’ve easily pulled her aside, he never did.

"You’re now the chairman of Jinhai, and everything you do represents the image of Jinhai..."

Jiang Chen began a lengthy lecture, but Shi Qianxi interrupted him.

"I got my period."

Direct and to the point.

"What?"

Jiang Chen didn’t catch on for a moment.

"I said, I got my period."

Shi Qianxi repeated, unwavering, truly a strong-willed woman.

Jiang Chen was stunned.

"Now you can rest assured, right?"

Jiang Chen seemed to have encountered a similar situation once before.

It was at Li Shuru’s off-campus rental house.

Back then, he was burning with desire due to one of her Balenciaga outfits, only to find out she was on her period.

And now.

This lady was actually using that as a reason to comfort him?

The powerful Miss Shi gave Jiang Chen a look, then dragged him by the hand into the bathroom.

"I’m going to take a shower first, you know I can pick locks."

That last sentence completely shattered Jiang Chen’s retreat.

Soon.

The sound of water splashed from the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, Shi Qianxi walked out, clad only in a towel.

She truly was blessed by the heavens, her exposed shoulders and long legs as white as snow.

Seeing Jiang Chen sitting obediently on the bed, she smiled with satisfaction.

That smile, there was hardly any difference from the White Bone Spirit eyeing Tang Sanzang.

"Go take a shower."

With no other choice, Jiang Chen could only stiffly walk out of the bedroom, though he still made a last ditch struggle by dressing neatly when he came out.

Shi Qianxi, who was already leaning against the headboard, said nothing, just patted the space beside her, "Come up."

Jiang Chen took a light breath, hesitated for a while, and finally got into bed, thinking that just sleeping through the night should be alright, especially since she was under the weather, he needn’t worry too much.

But he had underestimated Miss Shi’s resolve.

As soon as Jiang Chen got into bed, Shi Qianxi snuggled up, resting her head on his shoulder, "It’s uncomfortable to sleep with clothes on, take them off."

"It’s fine, I normally sleep like this, I’m used to it."

"I got my period, what are you afraid of?"

As she spoke, Shi Qianxi sat up on the bed and started tugging at his clothes.

Jiang Chen had no choice but to take off his shirt and pants.

"Let’s sleep."

He thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Shi Qianxi turned over and straddled him.

Jiang Chen realized something was wrong and his expression changed drastically.

"Didn’t you say you got your period?"

Under the gorgeous lights, Shi Qianxi gave a drowsy smile.

"Sorry, I remembered wrong."
