Chapter 04 The Mysterious Kiss

However, Jiang Cheng ignored her words, lowering his head and muttering gloomily, resembling a child whose demands are unmet, his voice filled with a sense of grievance: "Didn’t you leave long ago? Why are you back? Didn’t you hate me to death? Why do you appear again? Seeing you makes me uncomfortable..." Before he could finish speaking, he bent down and tightly covered his stomach, his hair disheveled, completely devoid of his usual indifference and arrogance

"Then I can't be sure. If he doesn't come, he won't come for several months. Moreover, he has been coming too frequently these days, which is really abnormal," said Brother Tan, while also thinking to himself, "I guess he must be tired of it now, so he probably won't come again." He nodded uncertainly, but deep down he was indeed hoping that Jiang Cheng would not come again.

Jiang Chengyue did not offer any explanation, and without a word, he raised his glass and quickly downed a mouthful. Those around him thought he was being straightforward, but they soon noticed that he was drinking more and more urgently, unable to stop himself, and they immediately realized that something was amiss. Despite numerous attempts to stop him, Jiang Chengyue still drank too much, his eyes red enough to bleed, and he staggered towards the corridor, shaking off the crowd.

Many blessings truly lost their ideas, and had no choice but to harden their resolve and ask where Jiang Chengyue lived. Brother Tan seemed to ponder for a while, and finally slammed the table: "At Jinhui! He must be having a meal there, busy with business matters!" He intended to add a remark for Sister Xu to be more understanding, but seeing her expression, it was better to remain silent; the boss's romantic rumors were not something to meddle in.

It is done, my face is starting to feel warm again, and my heart is beginning to race again

Before she had the chance to knock, the door opened automatically. A man rushed in, shouting: "Where is everyone? Has anyone arrived? If not, stop blowing smoke here! Don't ruin my mood!" As soon as he finished speaking, he caught sight of Xu Dofu, who was standing at the door, terrified to the point of losing her soul. His eyes immediately lit up, "Yay? Is this the new girl you brought in? Not bad, quite charming! Come on, come in quickly." As he spoke, he stepped forward to pull her in. Xu Dofu's spirit instantly returned to her body, and she opened her mouth to shout, but her gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Chengyue, who was sitting in the corner. She then stopped struggling and instead walked in confidently.

The strong smell of alcohol immediately assaulted her senses, and despite the fear surging within her, she struggled to push him away with all her might. However, he urgently bit down on her lip, causing her to gasp in pain, and her tightly clenched teeth naturally loosened. Jiang Chengyue then surged forward, disrupting all her breaths as if he were conquering a city.

She hasn't even had her first love, so how did she inexplicably lose her first kiss

Shao Rongping noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern: "Is something wrong? Why haven't you gone home so late?"

Just thinking about it makes me shiver

On the second day after work, I took the camera that I hadn't even unboxed yet and headed to the Imperial View.

In fact, the Di Jing Nightclub and the Di Jing Building are not very close to each other, but recently, Jiang Chengyue has frequently been seen entering and exiting the Di Jing Nightclub, to the extent that even Brother Tan, who is in charge of the nightclub, is not quite sure why. However, Xu Yufu is completely unaware of all this; her single-celled brain, akin to that of a paramecium, only thinks that Jiang Chengyue is just someone who hangs around this place! So when she heard that Brother Yue was not there, she was instantly dumbfounded. She neither knows his address nor his phone number, so where is she supposed to go to find him? Moreover, she has no need to go through the trouble of searching for someone to inquire about him.

"Do not go..." he murmured

Xu Duofu was still encouraging herself when she suddenly felt a warmth on her neck. At first, she didn't react, only feeling a tingling sensation on her skin as small beads of sweat broke out. Then, a flash of realization struck her—he was actually kissing her neck! Xu Duofu panicked and dared not move, struggling to regain her composure. As she turned her head, Jiang Chengyue had already closed in on her. He wrapped one arm around her shoulder, adjusted her face that was trying to evade him, and pressed his lips directly against hers.

He wrapped one arm around her shoulder, adjusted her face that was trying to evade him, and pressed his lips directly against hers.

Jiang Chengyue, who had been silently drinking, slightly raised his gaze upon hearing the commotion, only to unexpectedly see Xu Tofu, blushing and at a loss, standing among a group of men. He immediately stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and dragged her out the door, disregarding the gasps and laughter from behind.

Such a talented young man is quite popular among the ladies, yet why has he specifically taken an interest in me? Xu Duo rested his chin on his hand, openly peering at Shao Rongping, who was driving beside him. Then, he thought of Jiang Chengyue and that kiss.

Xu Manyu did not pay attention to his words, and she remained dazed and frozen in place. She could not recall whether she had responded, only feeling as if the stars in the sky were about to fall. In fact, there were no stars left in this big city, but at that moment, she clearly saw a sky full of stars, resembling the eyes of a lover, gentle and affectionate

With a sudden rush of warmth to her forehead, she displayed a smile that resembled flattery and cautiously spoke to Brother Tan: "Brother Tan, could you do me a favor? When Brother Yue comes next time, could you please hand this to him?"

She hasn't even had her first love, so how did she inexplicably lose her first kiss

The people around come and go, and no one pays attention to this corner. To others, they merely appear to be a close-knit young couple

Tan Ge actually knows that it doesn't matter if he helps out, but just the night before last, while drinking with his brothers, he happened to overhear that Yue Ge seems to be very interested in this woman. If he were to meddle and ruin things, he would be in big trouble.

She almost fled in a panic. When Yang Yihao came to pick up Jiang Chengyue, she clearly saw the mockery in his eyes, and his smirking lips could not be closed. Her face instantly flushed; after pushing the already unconscious Jiang Chengyue into the car, she turned around and ran, ignoring Yang Yihao's shouts behind her.

Shao Rongping couldn't help but laugh: "Shouldn't it be how you ended up here? This is Leitai."

Without a second thought, Xu Duo nodded, noticing that Jiang Chengyue's expression was unfriendly. Immediately, his attitude took a complete turn, shaking his head and forcing a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid, but after all, our identities are different, making it somewhat inconvenient"

Please take me home, I am a bit tired, Xu Dafu turned his head, looking at Shao Rongping with an apologetic smile, "I have run a long way, I just want to take a hot shower and then snuggle into a warm bed."

One is at a disadvantage when relying on others, and this is a lesson that Fu has learned since childhood. Moreover, she has no desire to accept favors from the underworld. Who knows when the underworld might change its mind and, instead of wanting the camera back, demand her life instead

This night was simply too dramatic, she could no longer stay. Just seeing Jiang Chengyue's lips made her heart want to leap out of her chest. The warmth of Jiang Chengyue still lingered at the corners of her lips, and just thinking about it was utterly life-threatening

Xu Manyu immediately hailed a taxi and rushed to Jinhui, determined to settle today's matters today, to avoid prolonged nights filled with dreams. She could not believe that this broken camera could not be returned to its rightful owner! However, when the taxi stopped at the entrance of Jinhui, she was taken aback, and the idiom she learned in elementary school popped into her mind: "gold and jade in glorious splendor," which truly lived up to its name.

Xu Duo's wrist was pinched painfully by him, and while he struggled to pull back, he murmured in response: "I have already finished work..."

The smile at the corner of Jiang Cheng's mouth gradually took on a hint of coldness. He glanced at the camera but did not respond, only saying: "Interesting, good, wait here, I will finish my drink first"

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Shao Rongping did not press her further, and with a smile, he asked, "Are you going to have a late-night snack? It's on me!"

Shao Rongping responded with a sound, but did not speak again. The heating in the car was quite sufficient, and Xu Manyu's head began to feel fuzzy; such a warm atmosphere made her feel restless, as if Jiang Chengyue was right beside her. ... His palm was warm, his embrace was warm, his breath was warm, his kiss was warm ...

Xu Duofu rolled his eyes and ultimately had no choice but to accept it. Slightly tilting his head, he saw the tightly furrowed brows and the straight nose of the man. His breath still carried a strong scent of alcohol, which wafted onto Xu Duofu's face, causing his cheeks to flush. In fact, he didn't seem as arrogant and frightening as he appeared; Xu Duofu openly admired the sleeping handsome man.

He stopped the car with a "chih--" sound, unable to conceal his surprise: "Duofu? You came to find me?"

Xu Fu raised his head in confusion and explained while patting his bag, "Did you not ask me to wait for you? The camera has not been returned yet. Moreover, you did not let me leave, so I dare not go."

He originally thought that Xu Fude was unwilling to interact with him much, perhaps leaving the camera at the front desk and walking away directly. However, he did not expect her to still be here, sitting on the sofa in the lobby with her head lowered, reading a newspaper. Her neck was slightly bent, and her skin glowed faintly under the light, making her appear hazy and indistinct. He closed his eyes and shook his head, ultimately staggering over and sitting down beside her, murmuring: "Why are you still here..."

Xu Duo listened in a daze as he vented his anger, watching him finally calm down. Then he rubbed his sore wrist, lowered his head, and took out the camera from his bag, holding it out in front of him: "I came to find you, here, the camera is returned to you"

The taste of a first kiss makes one feel both anxious and yearning. She clearly wants to push him away, yet when he truly leaves, there is a hint of reluctance. What on earth is this!

Xu Manyu hurriedly pressed against the window to look outside, and indeed it was Leituo, the territory of Shao Rongping. He had unwittingly found himself here.

As she clenched her fist and swore to the heavens, Jiang Chengyue, due to her actions, groggily opened his eyes. In his line of sight was a face that only appeared in dreams, with long eyelashes and a slightly upturned mouth... He only felt his throat dry, instinctively wanting to lean closer, to get nearer, even closer...

As soon as he left the corridor, he couldn't help but shout at her: "Why aren't you staying at the newspaper? What are you doing here! Is it not enough to go to the Imperial View Nightclub, and now you have to come to Golden Radiance to join the fun? What news is worth putting yourself in such a difficult position for!"

Xu Manyu did not move, only gently uttering two words: "It's nothing."

Originally, Jiang Cheng wanted to scold someone again, but as he fell silent and observed the many anxious and fearful expressions around him, he squinted his eyes and smiled: "You, are you very afraid of me?"

She quickly turned her head to look out the window, taking deep breaths repeatedly, striving to calm herself.

Shao Rongping was recruited by Leitai Architecture while still in his senior year. After four years, he has gradually emerged as a prominent figure, ranking among the top in the architectural design circle of City H. Of course, it cannot be overlooked that he has some family background, but his personal talents are also impressive.

Hello? Hello? Have you had too much to drink! Xu Dafu ignored his ramblings, struggling to lift his body and lay him flat on the sofa. He then called the waiter for assistance to drag him out of Jinhui. Before the taxi arrived, he pushed Xu Dafu aside and began to vomit.

He leaned to one side and brushed past many people, quickly walking back to the private room. As soon as he entered, the place was in a chaotic state, and upon seeing him, everyone began to tease: "Oh, has Brother Yue taken a liking to someone? Alright, step aside, who would dare compete with Brother Yue! What’s the matter, are you in a hurry to leave? A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold! You’ll have to drink three cups before you can go!"

Then hurry home to wash up and sleep, what kind of environment is this? What time is it? If I hadn't happened to be here, you would have been devoured alive, do you know that!

The neon lights shimmered, and the streets were bustling with traffic. She walked back in a daze, her steps unsteady, as if she were floating on a cloud in a dream

Shao Rongping stepped forward and gently touched her nose, which was red from the cold, quickly pulling her into the car. A wave of warmth enveloped her, and Xuanyufu finally let out a sigh of relief, as if she had returned to her senses

At that moment, he unexpectedly encountered Shao Rongping, who had just exited the company and was driving out of the parking lot, noticing many souls wandering aimlessly on the road

Xu Duo's face immediately turned green, and the camera was so twisted? How did such a tricky matter arise again? She raised her head to look at the completely darkened sky, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her. She took out her phone and checked yesterday's call log, and finally found Yang Yihao's number.

What should I do with this camera? It's like a hot potato, and no one is willing to take it. In the end, I can only smile apologetically at Brother Tan: "Well, can I just leave it with you? He doesn't come, but you all will have a chance to see it, right? I really have no other choice, big brother, please help me out!"

Jiang Chengyue was sleeping more and more comfortably in her embrace, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing, even letting out a satisfied sigh. Xu Dufu bit her lip, cursing inwardly; at her age, this was the first time she had been so close to a strange man. She simply could not help but let her thoughts wander, her entire face felt as if it were about to smoke from the heat. This could not continue; handing him over to Yang Yihao tonight would be a complete relief, and she could no longer provoke him. If this entanglement continued, she did not know how it would end!

Jiang Chengyue raised an eyebrow, and Xu Manyu immediately gasped, quickly following up with an explanation: "My camera can still be used after some repairs, and besides, you don't owe me anything; isn't this being too polite?"

Originally, she intended to carry him into the taxi, but she did not know the address. It would not be appropriate to take him back to her own place. Now, after his commotion, she has come to her senses and thinks it is more appropriate to wait for his brother to come and pick him up

Jiang Chengyue's head still ached severely, feeling groggy and his whole body was extremely hot. However, the person beside him had cool palms, which felt so comfortable against his arm that he did not want to leave. His head gradually leaned over, but was subtly pushed away. He was not satisfied and stubbornly turned his head to squeeze back in.

What are you doing here?" She took off her coat

Xu Duo Fu raised her head upon hearing the words, seeing Shao Rongping's face still in contemplation. She thought to herself that she had also liked someone before, for instance, Shao Rongping, and it seemed she still had some feelings. But was that really love? Didn't Jiang Xiaoman ask her about it before? Didn't she also fail to provide an answer?

She plunged in headfirst, only to be kindly stopped by the waiter who extended an arm. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and announce the name of Jiangcheng Yue. The waiter immediately understood, leading her to a private room with a half-smile.
