Chapter 1777 Thank you, boss
Then, he put his arm around Shen Shuang, turned around with a composed demeanor, and didn't look at Xu Zhi, who was frozen in place with a livid face, even once more.
Watching Jiang Cheng embrace Shen Shuang and disappear around the corner of the corridor in an intimate manner, Xu Zhi stood frozen in place like a stone statue.
The buzzing in my ears was the sound of blood rushing to my head; the blackouts before my eyes were the burning of my retinas from the extreme humiliation.
Jiang Cheng! It's Jiang Cheng again! He gets all the good things!
They didn't even leave him a drop of soup? He was the one who "set his sights" on Shen Shuang first! This is an utter disgrace!
What a disgrace! That Jiang Cheng! I want him dead!
“Jiang Cheng… Shen Shuang…” He bit his gums until they bled, and squeezed out a broken growl from deep in his throat.
The alcohol, jealousy, and the excruciating pain of being slapped in public, mixed with hatred for Jiang Cheng's long-standing arrogant attitude, finally broke through the last dam built by his father's warning.
Why? Why does he have to tolerate it every time?
Jiang Cheng definitely did it on purpose!
"No... we can't just let it go like this..." A surge of savage, bloodthirsty energy mixed with alcohol rushed to his head.
At this moment, as Jiang Cheng half-embraced her and led her down the stairs, Shen Shuang felt the warmth and strength from the hand on her shoulder. Instead of calming down, her heartbeat quickened, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
Just now, Jiang Cheng's appearance was like a ray of light, cleaving through all the gloom and threats brought by Xu Zhi.
That feeling of being protected and valued was something she had never experienced from Xu Zhi or any other suitor.
She could even smell his fresh and pleasant scent, mixed with a faint aroma of wine.
"This is Chu Ran's boyfriend...this is Chu Ran's boyfriend..." Shen Shuang repeated to herself over and over again.
He tried to suppress the inappropriate stirrings of emotion, but to little avail.
Involuntarily, the image of Jiang Cheng's calm yet powerful demeanor when he appeared replayed in his mind, a stark contrast to Xu Zhi's exasperation.
Hero saves the damsel in distress... Although it's a cliché, when it actually happens to you, especially when the person who saves you is so outstanding, the impact is far greater than you can imagine.
The sensation of that kiss still lingered on my lips, hot and clear.
She simply couldn't bear to think about what she had done.
"Thank...thank you, boss."
Jiang Cheng turned his head, his gaze sweeping over her lowered profile, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and the lingering blush.
After letting go of my hand, he teased, "So that kiss was to thank me?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuang's face turned red again.
Just as we were about to reach the booth, we could already see Jiang Churan standing up and looking around.
Her mind was a mess, filled with thoughts like "What if Chu Ran finds out?", "Was I too impulsive?", and "That was my first kiss..."
She suddenly stopped, subconsciously letting go of the hand that had been unconsciously clutching Jiang Cheng's clothes, and took a small step back to the side, creating some distance between them.
Then she raised her head, speaking rapidly with earnestness and a hint of barely perceptible panic.
She whispered to Jiang Cheng, "Um... just now... just now I was in a moment of panic, I acted impulsively, I, I didn't mean it... don't misunderstand."
She paused, her cheeks flushed, and her voice lowered even further: "That was...that was my first kiss...I just wanted to piss that jerk off, I didn't mean anything else...Please don't tell Chu Ran, okay? Please!"
If Xu Yan had said these words, Jiang Cheng would definitely not have accepted her explanation, and might even have retorted, "You scumbag, you're playing with my feelings."
After all, Xu Yan's looks are 94 and her figure is an even higher 96.
Just based on that despicable amount of milk... uh, outstanding conditions, Jiang Cheng might reluctantly consider it.
That's right, he's just that... principled.
After all, Shen Shuang's appearance score was only around 80, which was still inferior to Jiang Churan and Xu Yan.
The moment Jiang Cheng stared at Shen Shuang, he activated the character scanning system.
Name: Shen Shuang
[Age: 19 years old]
[Height: 169 cm]
[Appearance: 85]
[Stature: 80]
【Privacy: 0】
[Friendliness value: 88]
Upon seeing this, Jiang Cheng's eyebrows twitched instantly.
This girl's friendliness towards me is surprisingly high.
Tsk tsk~
However, Jiang Cheng is a good man with principles and aspirations.
Regarding the order of the three women, Jiang Cheng still prefers Jiang Churan and Xu Yan.
As for Shen Shuang, let's talk about her another time.
After all, they are best friends.
I only managed to subdue Jiang Churan today using my Demon-Slaying Technique.
Before the 'interconnected' relationship had been fully solidified, Shen Shuang suddenly appeared, and Jiang Cheng felt somewhat out of control.
He could only feign reluctance as he looked at Shen Shuang: "Chu Ran knows I came to see you..."
This was a clever way of putting it, both highlighting that his actions were "upright and aboveboard" and attributing his intimate behavior to Jiang Churan's request.
This subtly reassured Shen Shuang's worries and also cleared her of any suspicion of "taking the initiative."
Shen Shuang understood what he meant, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She could only repeat softly, "I know... so, please..."
As they spoke, the two approached the booth.
Jiang Churan, who had been keeping an eye on their whereabouts, immediately stood up, her face showing concern, and quickly stepped forward to meet them.
"Why did you take so long? Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuang replied with an unnatural smile, trying to make her tone sound relaxed: "It's nothing, I just ran into that idiot Xu Zhi and said a few useless words. Luckily, the big boss appeared in time and helped me out of the predicament."
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Jiang Cheng out of the corner of her eye, and only felt slightly relieved when she saw that his expression was normal.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Churan frowned and looked at Jiang Cheng: "Xu Zhi? He didn't make things difficult for Shuangshuang, did he?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuang quickly replied, "No." After saying that, Shen Shuang looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Thanks, boss. I'll treat you to dinner next time."
After Jiang Cheng sat down in the booth, he put his arm around Jiang Churan and said, "Why are you inviting me to dinner? Just invite Churan to dinner."
After exchanging a few jokes, the group stopped mentioning Xu Zhi.
Jiang Churan nodded in relief and took Shen Shuang's arm: "It's good that you're alright. Stay away from that kind of person in the future."
Seeing Jiang Churan say this, Jiang Cheng offered a suggestion: "Your family's cooperation with Daheng should be severed as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Shen Shuang nodded solemnly.
"I'll tell my dad when I get back."
Given how badly her relationship with Xu Zhi had deteriorated, it would be very risky for her family to continue doing business with Daheng.
Moreover, Shen Shuang also vaguely sensed that Jiang Cheng was somewhat interested in getting back at Xu Zhi.
If Daheng runs into trouble, its suppliers will also be in deep trouble.
Not only Shen Shuang noticed this, but Shen An and the others also noticed it.
However, everyone tacitly remained silent.
The Daheng system is not something that they can easily manipulate.
However, Jiang Cheng flexed his muscles on the track today, so Shen An and the other two had no doubts about his abilities...
After saying this, Jiang Cheng stopped paying attention to Shen Shuang and silently opened the system.
I used a 'special hiccup card' when I was at Renji Mountain Villa.
"Ding! Special environment detected. Since the taster meets the conditions for swallowing raw, the special burp card has been successfully used!"
"Calculations are being made in conjunction with tasters' satisfaction."
"Congratulations, host, you have received a reward of two billion!"
"Ding! This reward comes from a special stock in the US stock market. You can withdraw the money at any time. The channel is legal and compliant, so please don't worry!"
