Chapter 98
“Ding, storyline transmission in progress…”
“This time it’s actually a Soldier King…” A few minutes later, after receiving the plot from the system, Jiang Che’s face showed a strange expression.
“Wild Soldier King in the City of Flowers”! It’s another urban novel with a white-collar setting. The protagonist, Ye Tian, is a famous mercenary king from Hei Zhou.
Tired of living on the edge, he returns to Jiuzhou Country and starts working as a security guard. Then, he goes through a journey of showing off, slapping faces, encountering various mature women, young girls…
Finally, he marries a rich and beautiful woman and reaches the pinnacle of life.
And as Jiang Che expected, this Soldier King indeed has a sister who fought alongside him… And it’s his own little maid, Ah Qing.
Ah Qing’s brother and Ye Tian were comrades until death. In a mission to protect Ye Tian, her brother perished. His dying wish was for Ye Tian to take care of his sister after returning to the country.
Ye Tian readily agreed and, after returning to the country, immediately included Ah Qing in his harem. But Ah Qing is now his own woman, how could Jiang Che let him have his way? If he dares to come, Jiang Che swears to kill him!
“System, when will Ye Tian return to the country?” Jiang Che extinguished the cigarette in his hand and asked faintly in his mind.
“In three days, Ye Tian will arrive in Linjiang City.”
“Three days, huh… It seems it’s time for me to go back.”
“Young Master Jiang, everything is taken care of.” The bodyguard sat in the driver’s seat of the Rolls-Royce and spoke to Jiang Che.
“Mmm, let’s go home.”
……
The next evening, inside the presidential suite of the Emperor International Hotel.
“You’re leaving tomorrow?” Zhou Lingxi, lying on Jiang Che’s chest, rubbed her head back and forth, her voice filled with reluctance.
“Yeah, I have some things to deal with, so I have to go back tomorrow,” Jiang Che said, stroking Zhou Lingxi’s soft hair with a smile.
“Can’t you stay a couple more days?” Zhou Lingxi pleaded, her eyes swirling with tears, as if she would start crying immediately if Jiang Che refused.
“If you miss me, just come to Linjiang City to find me. I’m always there.” Jiang Che replied.
“Hmph, once you’re back, don’t mess with other women!” Zhou Lingxi threatened fiercely, revealing two cute little tiger teeth in a naive expression. She knew Jiang Che wouldn’t have only her in his life, especially since he was her Senior Sister’s fiancé…
And she hadn’t forgotten that little Jiang Yun’er was also eyeing him! She needed to remind Jiang Che, because if Jiang Yun’er took the initiative, Zhou Lingxi didn’t believe Jiang Che could resist.
“Don’t worry, having you and Qingqiu in this life is enough for me,” Jiang Che said, holding Zhou Lingxi in his arms and speaking sweet nothings.
“Hmph.” Although Zhou Lingxi knew Jiang Che was just appeasing her, she loved to hear such sweet words.
Her heart was filled with joy, and her face showed a blissful expression. Leaning her head in Jiang Che’s arms, she looked a bit lazy and charming.
“By the way, I’ve killed Xiao Fan,” Jiang Che suddenly remembered to mention.
“He’s dead? Good, he was annoying alive!” Zhou Lingxi was startled but didn’t ask much. She wished Xiao Fan would just disappear. With Xiao Fan gone, she felt no pressure and could be openly with Jiang Che.
“What if Senior Sister finds out about us?” Zhou Lingxi asked, a bit worried.
“There’s nothing to worry about, even if she knows,” Jiang Che said, pinching Zhou Lingxi’s tender cheek with a smile. He was not afraid of Shen Qingqiu anymore.
In the past, he had been somewhat restrained because he didn’t want to anger her, but now things were different. If Shen Qingqiu disagreed, Jiang Che would just persuade her until she agreed.
“Don’t worry about these things, let’s cherish the present,” Jiang Che said, and then he gently turned Zhou Lingxi over…
………………
The next day, Jiang Che groggily opened his eyes. Glancing at Zhou Lingxi, who lay beside him with a face full of sweetness, he gently kissed her forehead before getting dressed and quietly leaving the room, softly closing the door behind him.
After Jiang Che’s departure, Zhou Lingxi too opened her beautiful eyes. Gazing at the fading silhouette of Jiang Che, she inhaled the lingering fragrance he left on the pillow.
Her face was adorned with a content smile, and soon, overwhelmed by exhaustion, she fell into a deep sleep again. She was extremely tired, as Jiang Che had been somewhat overbearing the previous night.
……
At noon, Jiang Che, accompanied by Fubo, walked out of the Lingjiang City International Airport.
Outside the terminal, Ah Long, along with others, was already waiting. Seeing Jiang Che emerge, he promptly approached him, speaking respectfully, “Young Master, welcome home.”
“Hmm, let’s go back to Crouching Dragon Villa,” Jiang Che replied with a smile, then got into the Maybach parked behind Ah Long.
Ah Long drove directly towards Wolong Villa.
……
Outside Wolong Villa, dressed in a maid’s outfit, Ah Qing had been waiting at the gate, having heard of Jiang Che’s return. Spotting Jiang Che, she hurriedly ran into his embrace.
“Young Master!” she exclaimed, “I’ve missed you so much~”
“What did you miss about me?” Jiang Che inquired, raising an eyebrow playfully.
Blushing, Ah Qing shyly replied, “I… I want the Young Master to treat me. My internal chill has acted up again these past few days.”
Ah Qing’s personality had become much more open after being treated by Jiang Che for over a month. Although she still spoke with some shyness, she was no longer as timid as before when teased by Jiang Che.
“Heh heh… I’ll treat you tonight,” Jiang Che chuckled, holding Ah Qing’s tender hand as they walked into the living room to eat.
The dining table was laden with a variety of delicious dishes, all prepared by Ah Qing.
…
“Do you have family, Ah Qing?” Jiang Che inquired curiously after lunch, calling the young maid over.
In the novel “Wild Soldier King in the Flower City,” it only mentions that Ah Qing is the sister of Ye Tian’s comrade.
“I have no family…” Ah Qing replied, a bit lost. “Only a brother, but he disappeared when I was thirteen. I don’t know where he went, and then I was bought by the family head to serve as a maid for the young master.”
There wasn’t much sadness in her voice when she spoke of her family, having grown accustomed to it over the years.
“What’s your real name?” Jiang Che asked, hugging Ah Qing and gently stroking her hair.
“My real name is Su Qingzhu,” she answered.
“Su Qingzhu…” Jiang Che repeated. “That’s a nice name. Have you ever thought about finding your brother?”
“I did, but I gave up later,” Ah Qing said, shaking her head. She had held onto hope for the first few years after her brother left, but it slowly faded away.
“It doesn’t matter whether my brother comes back or not. I’ve gotten used to it over the years. Besides, Ah Qing isn’t alone anymore; I have the young master now.” She smiled radiantly, looking adoringly at Jiang Che. To her, the young master was her entire world.
Jiang Che didn’t say much more, just holding Ah Qing’s arm a bit tighter. They both remained silent, enjoying the rare moment of peace together.
