Chapter 158: Ji Menglan’s Change, This Will Be Your Home from Now On

“Are you satisfied now?” Lin Xiyan glared at Jiang Che, speaking somewhat angrily. This dog of a man, always finding new ways to bully her!

“I’m satisfied.” Jiang Che nodded contentedly. He had to admit that Lin Xiyan had a certain talent in this aspect.

Although she didn’t have much experience, she had a keen willingness to learn, which was commendable!

“How about we go have lunch together?” Jiang Che glanced at his watch, feeling very relaxed and at ease.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go change my clothes.” Lin Xiyan walked barefoot to the bedroom at the corner of her office. It was her resting place whenever she got tired of working, where she kept some of her clothes.

If it weren’t for this bedroom, she wouldn’t have agreed to Jiang Che’s unreasonable request...

............

A few minutes later, Lin Xiyan came out of the bedroom, dressed in a fresh outfit.

“Let’s go, let’s have lunch.” Jiang Che took Lin Xiyan’s soft hand and led her out of the office.

Lin Xiyan let Jiang Che hold her hand without any struggle. She had grown accustomed to this intimacy and no longer resisted it as she did before.

Jiang Che took Lin Xiyan out of Lin’s building, got into his Bugatti, and drove straight to a nearby Michelin restaurant.

After lunch, Jiang Che accompanied Lin Xiyan for some shopping before taking her back to Lin’s Group before heading home.

............

By the pool at Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che laid leisurely on a lounge chair, basking in the sun with a look of contentment.

Ji Menglan stood obediently behind him, massaging his shoulders. After continuous treatment, Jiang Che clearly felt that Ji Menglan’s androphobia had significantly improved.

Now, she massaged his shoulders and washed his feet with much more compliance, without the resistant expression she used to have.

Perhaps Ji Menglan herself hadn’t even noticed these subtle changes.

“Not bad, you’re improving.” Jiang Che praised her appropriately. After professional training, Ji Menglan’s massage techniques had noticeably improved.

“Amidst the endless sandstorms...”

“Watching you leave...”

Just as Jiang Che was enjoying life, his phone on the table rang.

Seeing the caller ID as Ah Long, Jiang Che answered without hesitation.

“Young master, Chu Tian, whom you asked us to monitor, has made a move.” Ah Long’s respectful voice came through the phone.

“Oh? What’s he up to?” Jiang Che asked curiously. Chu Tian’s apartment had been flattened by his orders, throwing the plot into chaos. He didn’t know what Chu Tian was planning next.

“He’s been getting close to Liu Hao from the Liu family in Linjiang City. It seems like they’re plotting something.”

“Liu Hao...” Hearing this, Jiang Che fell into thought. He had some impression of this person.

In “The King of Assassins Returns to Be a Landlord,” Liu Hao was a recurring supporting character.

He was very close to Chu Tian, essentially acting as Chu Tian’s lackey. In the middle of the story, when Chu Tian started his own company and built his own power, Liu Hao was indispensable.

Of course, since he wasn’t the protagonist, he didn’t end well...

Jiang Che thought Chu Tian would come for revenge, giving him a chance to kill him. But after several days without seeing Chu Tian, he received Ah Long’s report instead.

“Keep monitoring him. Report to me immediately if Chu Tian makes any major moves.” Jiang Che ordered and then hung up the phone.

“Who is Chu Tian? Your enemy?” Ji Menglan asked suddenly, seemingly out of curiosity.

Jiang Che hadn’t avoided her during the call, so she heard everything.

“Yes, he’s my enemy.” Jiang Che glanced at her and nodded.

Ji Menglan didn’t ask further. She obediently continued to massage Jiang Che’s shoulders.
