Obsessive Tycoon and His Swan Girl
Chapter 154 - 154 154 You Understand This Well

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: You Understand This Well? Chapter 154: Chapter 154: You Understand This Well? Did they think Jiang Zhe was the Jiang Zhe of their imaginations?

“Since they want to announce it to the world, Fen Ye, announce it for them.”

Upon hearing Qin Jingchen’s words, Fen Ye immediately understood, “Got it.”

Jiang Zhe had no objections, having someone else handle it was more than welcome.

She could do these things herself, but she was used to being laid-back, and if someone else was willing to do it, she was happy to be free of the trouble.

As the three of them were talking, someone knocked on the door of the private room.

Fen Ye opened the door and saw an elegantly behaved woman at the door.

“Who are you looking for?”

“My name is Fan Yin, and I apologize for the intrusion. I’m looking for Jiang Zhe.” The visitor was indeed Fan Yin.

She had intended to go to the school after leaving the Jiang Family’s dinner last time, to wait for the class the next day to find Jiang Zhe.

But just now, downstairs, she heard someone calling Jiang Zhe’s name, so she lingered for a while longer.

Knowing that Jiang Zhe was dining here, she felt compelled to act.

She waited until the right moment before she ventured up to interrupt.

There was no helping it; she simply couldn’t wait to meet Jiang Zhe any sooner.

Jiang Zhe remembered the name Fan Pinglun had previously mentioned to her, which was indeed Fan Yin.

She spoke up, “Please come in, Professor Fan.”

Fan Yin was overjoyed and stepped inside, only to see Jiang Zhe.

The girl’s rich and lustrous features made a striking impact, as if slicing through the air towards her, stunning Fan Yin at first glance.

Yet, she also saw another distinguished man sitting there, with deep-set eyes, exceptionally handsome, sharing the same kind of beauty with Jiang Zhe, causing one’s gaze to whirl upon looking at them, unsure of who deserved more attention.

This man was the very one she had seen calling out to Jiang Zhe earlier.

“Jiang Zhe, I apologize for the interruption.” Fan Yin sat down.

“It’s alright.” Jiang Zhe received her as a courtesy to Fa Pinglun.

She gestured, “Make yourself comfortable, Professor Fan, and please don’t hesitate.”

Fen Ye came over, hearing that she was a professor, he introduced himself, “My name is Fen Ye, and that’s Qin Jingchen. We are both friends with Jiang Zhe.”

Fan Yin found the name somewhat familiar and suddenly remembered – wasn’t this the Crown Prince of the Qin Family from Beijing?

And indeed, she saw Buddha beads adorning his wrist, and a faint scent of sandalwood emanating from him.

No wonder she had thought his demeanor was exceptional, so different from ordinary people.

She hadn’t thought too much of it at first, but now, knowing his identity, she felt an indistinct and ineffable reverence in her heart.

It was unexpected that Jiang Zhe would be dining with the Crown Prince from Beijing.

Furthermore, Jiang Zhe didn’t seem restrained in the least; she was eating casually and even taking the napkin Qin Jingchen offered her.

Fan Yin was not unacquainted with the ways of the world, yet she was still shocked by this scene.

Qin Jingchen spoke up, “May I ask what business Professor Fan has with Xiaozhe?”

Jiang Zhe was used to him addressing her by her full name, so when she heard Xiaozhe, her chopsticks paused for a moment.

Fan Yin, noticing his attentive care for Jiang Zhe, felt more at ease and said with a smile, “I’ve heard that Jiang Zhe has a remarkable talent for songwriting, and I would like to invite her to enroll in the Popular Music program at our school.”

“Which school?” asked Qin Jingchen.

Fan Yin realized that while Jiang Zhe was busy eating, Qin Jingchen spoke on her behalf for all matters.

She had long heard that the Crown Prince of Beijing kept his distance from women, had no women around him, and although outwardly gentle, he was aloof and unapproachable to strangers.

The scene before her was surprising time and again.

“The National Conservatory of Music.”

When uttering this name in the past, Fan Yin carried a sense of pride for her school.

But in front of them, as she spoke, it seemed as if her confidence had waned.

Fen Ye nodded immediately after hearing the news, “This school isn’t bad at all! It fits perfectly with Sister-in-law… Uh, Jiang Zhe’s interests and field of study.”

He did not call her sister-in-law in front of others.

However, he also knew that Jiang Zhe’s academic performance was quite ordinary and that if she were to take the normal entrance exams, she wouldn’t have many opportunities.

Of course, with Jingchen looking out for her, it was not a big deal.

But seeing how proud Jiang Zhe was, she definitely did not want to be under anyone’s protection.

The opportunity now before her was just perfect.

Fan Yin was more motivated than ever, “It really isn’t bad, mainly because the major is a good match. For a talented child like Jiang Zhe, after systematic and specialized training, she will surely reach new heights in the future.”

“Xiaozhe won’t go,” Qin Jingchen flatly refused.

Fen Ye’s eyes widened, “Jingchen, how do you know?”

Jiang Zhe was sipping soup and didn’t even look up.

Plus, he hadn’t seen Jiang Zhe for three days!

Three whole days, how could he know what Jiang Zhe was planning now?

Qin Jingchen just knew; Jiang Zhe had not mentioned what she wanted to learn or what she didn’t want to learn.

But he instinctively knew that Jiang Zhe was not interested in Fan Yin’s proposal, despite Fan Yin’s genuinely kind and considerate demeanor.

“Professor Fan, I’m sorry to make you take this trip. Xiaozhe won’t go,” Qin Jingchen reiterated.

He was courteous and affable.

But Fan Yin understood that the mere fact that the phrase ‘easy to approach’ could be used already indicated that the status between her and Qin Jingchen was not equal.

Despite his gentle demeanor, Fan Yin still felt pressured and did not say much more; instead, she stood up and said, “Then I really must apologize for the intrusion. Goodbye.”

“Goodbye,” Jiang Zhe looked up and greeted her, waving her hand.

Fen Ye shook his head, “But this major really does seem suitable.”

“Then why don’t you go study it?” Qin Jingchen turned to look at him.

Fen Ye shook his head again, “The school is so-so, and the major is so-so. It’s not worthy of Sister-in-law, nor is it worthy of her little brother like me.”

Jiang Zhe was quite pleased with herself, sipping the soup, “Today’s fish soup isn’t bad at all.”

“Then have another bowl,” Qin Jingchen took her bowl and ladled more soup for her.

Fen Ye couldn’t bear to watch.

After dinner, Jiang Zhe was going back to school.

As she left the hotel, a chill in the air made her shiver slightly.

Just as she was thinking about it, a coat was draped over her shoulders.

Qin Jingchen had given her the coat and only then did Jiang Zhe notice that today, he was still wearing a tie, the one she had given him.

She wrapped the coat around her and got into the car, where a blanket from Qin Jingchen was passed to her and laid over her bare legs.

The warmth enveloped her.

She used to enjoy exposing herself to the cold air and paradoxically liked basking in the sun as well.

When there was no sunshine, she didn’t care whether it was cold or not.

But this warm feeling, it was quite nice as well.

Qin Jingchen’s eyes were deep, and he turned to look at her, “Is it a school rule that you can’t wear trousers?”

Jiang Zhe: “…”

She used to dress like this on Ash Street as well, not making any exceptions for winter.

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Qin Jingchen asked, “Do you prefer wearing pantyhose or trousers?”

His hand had already taken hers; the temperature inside the car was comfortable by now, yet her palm was still cool and did not show signs of warming up.

“You know me this well?” Jiang Zhe narrowed her fox-like eyes and asked.
