Lin Jiang stayed all afternoon, not leaving until evening.
Seeing that the shop was quiet, he decided not to stick around any longer.
Just as he was about to leave, Lin Jiang saw the woman in cargo pants come into the shop again.
She ordered a pan-fried steak with rice and a glass of sour plum soup.
Many of the shop’s customers were regulars, so it wasn’t strange for this woman to show up a second time.
But subconsciously, Lin Jiang felt there was something special about her.
Yet after looking her over carefully, he couldn’t quite put his finger on what was different.
Leaving the noodle shop, Lin Jiang drove back to Century Triumph.
He had left in a hurry this morning and hadn’t checked in, so he needed to go back and do it.
On the way, he sent a message to Chen Jingxian.
He told her to notify Chen Jingjia to meet him at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten tomorrow morning to finalize the divorce.
’I’m about to be a free man again. It feels pretty damn good.’
[Check-in successful: Nine days]
After checking in at the gym, Lin Jiang drove his car into the underground garage. Just as he parked, he got a call from Qiu Yunong.
"Brother Jiang, I’m heading to your place. Are you home?"
"Just got back. Come on over."
"Be there in 20 minutes."
Back home, Lin Jiang flopped onto the sofa and opened the Super Fun Player app. He saw that Bubble already has 91,000 fans!
At this rate, he would complete the mission by tomorrow.
Qiu Yunong’s fan growth wasn’t slow either; she was already at 23,000.
After a short wait, Qiu Yunong arrived, carrying a large black bag.
"Did you buy some more Items?"
"This isn’t an Item. I bought you a suit."
"Huh? A suit?"
"I think you’d look good in a suit. Let’s film a video together today. But don’t worry, you won’t have to show your face."
With that, Qiu Yunong took out her phone. "Take a look at this video."
The background music started, and Lin Jiang watched intently.
In the video, a man sat on a sofa while a scantily clad woman performed some seductive, teasing moves at his feet, stirring Lin Jiang’s own desire to conquer.
"Brother Jiang, what do you think of this skit?"
"It’s good. Let’s give it a shot."
"I think so too. I’m going to edit this one myself. I have to make sure the effect is perfect."
"Okay, go get changed."
"Mhm."
Qiu Yunong headed to her room, but she paused just as she turned the doorknob.
"Brother Jiang, Zhiyi isn’t coming over today, is she?"
"Don’t worry. Even if she did, I wouldn’t let you hear a thing."
"You two are really something else."
Qiu Yunong blushed and hurried into the room. Lin Jiang changed into his suit as well.
When she emerged again, she had instantly transformed from a professional, dominant woman into a sexy siren.
A red bodycon dress paired with black stockings revealed her nearly perfect figure.
The form-fitting design added a layer of sexiness. Her slightly full thighs and waist, along with the rounded silhouette from behind, sent a jolt straight to Lin Jiang’s adrenal glands.
"Brother Jiang, you’re so handsome in a suit."
Qiu Yunong’s eyes were fixed on Lin Jiang, unable to look away.
’No wonder Zhiyi gets so loud. Who could possibly resist this?’
"Are you only just realizing that today?"
"I noticed before, but with the suit on, it’s a completely different feeling."
"I get the feeling you don’t just want to shoot a video, but have ulterior motives."
"Of course not. I’ll try my best to hold back."
After calming herself, Qiu Yunong had Lin Jiang sit on the sofa as they had planned.
Their shoot officially began.
Lin Jiang held the camera while Qiu Yunong lay on the floor, the lens pointed at her.
HOLY SHIT!
’This angle is just too wicked.’
’Even an upstanding gentleman like me can’t help but have lewd thoughts, let alone all those pervs out there.’
At that moment, Qiu Yunong also sensed something different about Lin Jiang. The atmosphere wasn’t as relaxed as when they usually filmed videos.
It seemed like every muscle in his body was tense.
She wasn’t feeling very comfortable either. Her body was hot, and her face was flushed and burning.
But the more it was like this, the more delighted she felt inside.
’My charm is no less than Zhiyi’s.’
Slowly, Qiu Yunong’s movements grew bolder.
Not only did she perform all the choreographed moves, but she even went above and beyond, and the effect was explosive.
Her smoldering gaze, in particular, made it impossible to tell if she was acting or not.
"Finally done filming," Lin Jiang said through gritted teeth.
Qiu Yunong’s face was beet red. She knew why Lin Jiang had said that; she was feeling unbearably aroused herself.
"Brother Jiang, let’s go shoot something else."
"Mm."
Lin Jiang stood up and felt the change in his own body. His "little brother" was already voicing its displeasure, seemingly wanting to make a statement.
"Brother Jiang, you’re so naughty," Qiu Yunong said softly.
"It’s only human nature. How are we shooting the next one?"
"I’ll lean on the doorframe. I want to take a few backlit photos. Combined with the video from before, it’ll max out the atmosphere."
"No problem."
The two moved to the doorway. Qiu Yunong leaned on the frame, bending her body forward.
"There’s that bad habit again. Don’t arch your back, bend at the waist."
Lin Jiang placed his hand on Qiu Yunong’s waist and gently pressed down, trying to get her to lower it.
As he did, Lin Jiang noticed something was off.
"Where are your safety shorts?"
A glimpse was all it took to see the whole picture.
Although he only saw the edge, it didn’t stop Lin Jiang from guessing the overall style.
’Looks like she’s completely abandoned her old cartoon styles.’
"The skit we’re filming today doesn’t have any big movements. I didn’t think it would be a problem, so I didn’t wear them."
"Uh..."
"Brother Jiang..."
"Hmm?"
"You’re touching me again..."
"My little brother has a mind of its own. I’ll have a good talk with it tonight."
"It’s being a little disobedient. How about..."
"How about what?"
"I have a talk with it..."
Lin Jiang’s heart skipped a beat. "’You have a talk with it?’"
"I... I’m feeling a little... uncomfortable..."
...19,452 words omitted...
Early the next morning, when Lin Jiang opened his eyes, Qiu Yunong was still fast asleep.
Based on her first-time performance alone, Qiu Yunong was a bit better than Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhiyi was thin-skinned and too shy to do many things the first time, only slowly opening up later.
Qiu Yunong was different. She unconditionally satisfied all of her "Sugar Daddy’s" requests.
’A qualified entrepreneur.’
’She’s definitely worth developing further in the future.’
[You have gained favor with NPC Qiu Yunong. Affinity +40]
[Affinity: 70]
[Reward: 4,000,000 NPC Special Development Fund. Has been deposited into your account.]
[You have completed a high-intensity physics experiment. Comprehension +1]
[You have completed an ultra-long endurance experiment. Physique +1]
’With such a big Affinity boost, the next main quest can’t be far off.’
He opened his attribute panel again.
[Name: Lin Jiang]
[Skills: Culinary Skill (Basic), Fighting Technique (Basic), Swimming (Beginner)]
[Attributes: Physique 20, Comprehension 29, Charm 22]
[Martial Force: 20]
[Item: 200g of Fat]
[Treasure Chest: 20/100]
Looking at the attributes on the panel, Lin Jiang was quite satisfied.
Even though his Martial Force and Physique were on the low side, the increase in his Comprehension had subtly changed his perspective on many things, which was very important.
"Brother Jiang..."
Qiu Yunong murmured, burying her head in the blankets and looking shyly at Lin Jiang.
"The sun’s already high in the sky and you’re still not up."
"I’ll get up in a bit..."
Qiu Yunong lay in bed, mortified. ’I actually slept with my investor. This is too...’
"Alright, I’ll go order breakfast. You can sleep a little longer."
"Mmm..."
Leaving the room, Lin Jiang first ordered breakfast, then went to wash up.
When breakfast was delivered, a blushing Qiu Yunong emerged from the room. Judging by her appearance, she must have already washed up in the bedroom’s en suite bathroom.
"Come and eat."
"Okay." Qiu Yunong nodded. "Brother Jiang, you’re already dressed. Do you have something to do later?"
"Yeah, I have to go out for a bit. You can leave whenever you want, no rush."
"I know."
Qiu Yunong ate in silence, feeling extremely ashamed inside. It felt like she had used her body to swindle money from her investor.
DING DONG—
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I’ll get it."
To ease her inner tension, Qiu Yunong trotted over to open the door.
When she opened the door, she found a woman standing outside. It was the same woman who had brought her breakfast last time—who also happened to be Brother Jiang’s ex-wife.
Seeing Qiu Yunong, Chen Jingjia’s heart stung with pain.
But in her current position, there was nothing she could say.
"Brother Jiang..."
Qiu Yunong stood awkwardly in the doorway, momentarily at a loss for words. After all, a "story" had really unfolded between her and Lin Jiang last night.
"We’re meeting at the Civil Affairs Bureau at ten. What are you doing here?"
"Lin Jiang..."
Chen Jingjia looked at Lin Jiang, her expression uneasy.
"I want to talk to you."
"There’s nothing for us to talk about."
Without wasting any more words, Lin Jiang got up, put on his shoes, and left.
He walked out, and Chen Jingjia followed him all the way to the underground garage.
"Lin Jiang, I truly realize my mistake. Please, give me a chance."
Lin Jiang chuckled. "If I didn’t have money, you probably wouldn’t have realized your ’mistake,’ would you?"
Chen Jingjia’s face grew hot with shame. She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
"I admit I love money, but who in this world doesn’t? I can promise you, I never did anything to betray you," Chen Jingjia said.
"That man you saw before, he was pursuing me, it’s true, but I never agreed. I really didn’t do anything to wrong you. As for what you’ve been doing during this time, I won’t hold it against you. After all, we were separated, so whatever you did was your freedom."
"You’re kind of hilarious. What does it have to do with me whether you hold it against me or not? And whatever relationship you two have also has nothing to do with me. What you need to do now is go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and finalize the divorce."
As he spoke, Lin Jiang got into his car, started the engine, and prepared to leave.
"Lin Jiang, I know I was wrong! I’m begging you, give me one more chance! I’ll listen to you from now on. Whatever you say, goes. I’ll definitely listen to you! Please, even if it’s for my sister’s and my parents’ sake, just give me one more chance!"
"I’ve already told them clearly that it’s impossible between us. Don’t try to guilt-trip me. I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau."
"Lin Jiang!"
THUD!
Chen Jingjia dropped straight to her knees, tears in her eyes.
"I truly realize my mistake! Please, just forgive me this once!"
"Fucking speechless."
Stomping on the accelerator, Lin Jiang sped away without a second glance at Chen Jingjia.
In a Cullinan parked not far away, a young man with granny-gray hair had witnessed the entire scene.
’Some guy in a crappy Maybach has a total babe kneeling and begging him to get back together? What’s my Cullinan lacking?!’
