Chapter 20: The Toad Lusts After the Swan’s Flesh?
Seeing Ye Chen turn his head, Jiang Che retracted his gaze and walked inside with Ah Long.
“Hey, fatty, come here...” Ye Chen called the chubby security guard over as he watched Jiang Che walk away.
“Captain, what’s up?” The guard approached Ye Chen, a sycophantic smile on his face.
“Who was that man who just went in?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled. For some reason, he felt an innate hostility towards the man he had just seen.
“You mean Jiang Che? Captain, don’t you know him?” The guard looked at Ye Chen oddly. Wasn’t he President Shen’s junior brother? Didn’t he know about her fiancé?
“What do you mean?” Ye Chen was even more confused. He had just come down the mountain; how could he possibly know the man?
“He’s President Shen, your senior sister’s fiancé!” the guard said with a sigh. “Perhaps only someone like him is worthy of our President Shen.”
“What???” Ye Chen was stunned, then completely baffled. His senior sister had a fiancé? He had never heard about it before. And what did that make him?
“Captain, didn’t you know about this?” The guard looked at Ye Chen oddly, his expression turning somewhat disdainful. Although Ye Chen was a skilled fighter, he was nothing compared to Jiang Che.
This had always intrigued Jiang Che, especially since in the original story, Ye Chen struggled for over ten thousand chapters to win over his senior sister, leading Jiang Che to think Shen Qingqiu was somewhat odd.
“Not much, just dealing with some company documents. After all, I am now the president of the Shen Corporation, and I have to do some work,” Shen Qingqiu replied, her tone softer than usual.
She didn’t really want to be the president; she would have preferred to quietly practice martial arts at home, but she couldn’t refuse her father’s wishes.
“You look good in that outfit,” Jiang Che commented, observing her attire: a pencil skirt, white blouse, and black high heels—a perfect urban beauty look that accentuated her figure.
Noticing Jiang Che’s gaze, Shen Qingqiu gave him a reproachful look but didn’t say anything. After all, he was her fiancé, and if he wanted to look, let him look.
“How do you feel about being a president?”
“Not great. I don’t want to be one,” Shen Qingqiu replied.
As Jiang Che and Shen Qingqiu were casually chatting, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Chen entered in a hurry.
“Don’t you know how to knock?” Shen Qingqiu’s expression immediately cooled, visibly displeased with Ye Chen. He wasn’t someone special to her, so she didn’t afford him any privileges.
“I...” Ye Chen hesitated, taken aback by her questioning look. He couldn’t really say he was worried about her safety and barged in, could he? That would seem implausible, especially since Shen Qingqiu was far stronger than him.
Jiang Che watched Ye Chen with interest, feeling somewhat triumphant. It seemed the protagonist didn’t carry much weight in Shen Qingqiu’s presence...
