Early the next morning, a sliver of sunlight filtered through the curtain gap and spilled into the warm bedroom.
On the bed, Jiang Zhao groggily opened his eyes and looked at Qin Lingxue, who was clinging to him like an octopus. He was speechless. Who would’ve thought that the cold and aloof campus belle, Qin Lingxue, would have such a messy sleeping posture?
A faint milky fragrance with a hint of strawberry naturally wafted from her body and reached Jiang Zhao’s nose.
He stared at her stunningly beautiful face, now so close, and couldn’t help but reach out and poke it—it was soft, like a sleeping kitten.
Jiang Zhao’s breathing became rapid. To be fair, though this woman had a bit of a temper, her looks and figure were definitely the best he had ever seen.
Just as Jiang Zhao’s lips curled up and he continued touching her, enjoying it more and more, the cold beauty right before him suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze was soul-piercing, and her voice soft but calm as she said, “What are you doing?”
“I… I saw some dirt on your face and was helping you remove it,” Jiang Zhao quickly retracted his hand, blushing.
Qin Lingxue calmly looked at him, her lips slightly curling up as she said, “Is there really dirt, or is someone just unable to control his lower half first thing in the morning?”
Her entire body was draped over Jiang Zhao, and she could naturally feel the reaction from his body. This guy became unruly the moment he woke up.
“You… What do you know? This is a normal reaction. You think I’d be aroused by a woman who drools in her sleep? Haha, impossible.” As he spoke, Jiang Zhao quickly pushed away her jade-like legs wrapped around his waist.
Seeing his guilty expression, Qin Lingxue’s smile deepened. She turned over and pinned him beneath her. Jiang Zhao was stunned by her sudden move, and a seductive voice sounded in his ear.
“You really are only tough with your mouth. Holding it in must be uncomfortable, right? Call me sister and I’ll help you out. What do you think?”
As she spoke, Qin Lingxue leaned closer and blew gently into his ear. A faint blush appeared on her flawless face, making her even more alluring, impossible to resist.
Feeling the softness of her chest pressing against him, Jiang Zhao’s breath grew heavier. He turned his head aside and muttered, “…Sister.”
“Too quiet. I didn’t hear that. Doesn’t count.”
“You vile woman, don’t push your luck! Do you think I have no pride?!”
“Are you calling or not? If not, I’m leaving. Then you’ll have to rely on your five-fingered lady for help.”
“You! That’s too much… Sister! Is that good enough?!”
“Hmm… now that’s better.”

After everything was done, Qin Lingxue casually slipped off the strap of her nightdress and started changing in front of Jiang Zhao.
“The sun’s already shining on your butt. Hurry up and get up.”
“Okay.” Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Jiang Zhao obediently got out of bed, threw on a plain shirt, and headed downstairs. The living room was filled with the aroma of breakfast. Uncle Fu had already prepared everything and was watching TV on the sofa.
Though he was a housekeeper, to Qin Lingxue, the old man was more like a respected elder.
After breakfast, the two of them got into the car and headed for the company, flirting along the way.
Following the mess from last night, Meng Zhou unsurprisingly submitted his resignation, leaving the vice president position vacant. Naturally, Jiang Zhao stepped in. No one questioned his ability.
That afternoon, while Jiang Zhao was slacking off in the vice president’s office, he received a familiar call.
It was from his father—Jiang Chennan.
On the other end came a man’s low voice, “Come out and have a meal. Let’s talk.”
Ever since he learned the truth about his origins, Jiang Zhao had no reason to be polite to this so-called father. He replied coldly, “I don’t think there’s anything left to say between me and the Jiang family.”
Hearing that, the man on the other end shouted angrily, “Jiang Zhao! No matter what, I’m still your father. Watch your attitude! Don’t forget, your surname is Jiang!”
Jiang Zhao sneered, “Father? I really don’t know how you have the face to say that. When you helped Jiang Chenfeng betray me, did you remember I was your son?”
“Let me guess, the reason you suddenly called today must be because something happened to Chenfeng Group, right? And now, you remember that you have a son like me?”
Jiang Chennan remained silent for a moment, a bit of guilt surfacing in his heart, though he didn’t think he had done anything wrong.
Jiang Chenfeng was his eldest son and should naturally inherit the family business. Jiang Zhao, while also his son, was ultimately from another family line.
After a long pause, just as Jiang Zhao was about to hang up, Jiang Chennan spoke again.
“What happened with Tianyang Group… I was wrong. But Chenfeng is still your elder brother. Now that Chenfeng Group is in trouble, as long as you help him this once, I swear I’ll make up for all the grievances you’ve suffered.”
He even sighed as he spoke, sounding as if he truly regretted everything.
But Jiang Zhao knew exactly what was going through his mind. He just wanted to act humble for now. Once the matter was resolved, he’d switch back to his old self in no time.
This kind of fake performance was more disgusting to Jiang Zhao than when the man was outright aggressive. He immediately said bluntly, “I don’t need your so-called compensation. I suggest you stop bothering me. Otherwise, I won’t mind bankrupting Jiang Chenfeng ahead of schedule.”
He had completely figured it out by now.
Start a business? Can starting a business be more comfortable than slacking off at work? When he’s tired, he can chat about life with the cold CEO, and when he’s broke, one call of ‘sister’ gets him unlimited pocket money. Isn’t that a hundred times better than running a startup?
Just then, his phone on the desk rang again, vibrating non-stop.
“Ginny is so beautiful…”
Irritated, Jiang Zhao picked up and snapped, “Can you people give it a rest already?!”
There was silence for a moment, then a cold voice came through, “Are you rebelling, Little Jiang?”
Jiang Zhao nearly knelt on the spot. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and awkwardly said, “Xue’er, you misunderstood. I wasn’t talking to you just now.”
Qin Lingxue didn’t bother to argue. She said flatly, “Tonight, the CEO of Royal City Group is coming to Jiangnan City. We don’t yet know their exact purpose. You’re coming with me.”
If Lingxue Group was the largest company in Jiangnan City, then Royal City Group was the most influential enterprise in the entire Jiang Province. Every move they made could shake up the city’s dynamics.
Jiang Zhao snorted, “My appearance fee isn’t cheap, woman. Can you afford it?”
“I don’t know if I can afford it, but I do know that if you don’t come, then when you feel uncomfortable later, you’ll have to deal with it yourself.”
With that, Qin Lingxue confidently hung up, not at all worried that Jiang Zhao would refuse.
Jiang Zhao, “…”
This woman is outrageous! Using that kind of thing to threaten me? Do I, Jiang Zhao, look like some dog kneeling under a pretty sister’s skirt?
This is an insult to his character!
…
At 6 p.m., night had fallen, and darkness shrouded the city.
Downstairs at the Lingxue Group building.
Jiang Zhao, dressed in a sharply cut lapel suit, got into the car and held Qin Lingxue’s delicate hand, cheerfully saying, “Babe, with me here, you’ll definitely shine tonight.”
Qin Lingxue, sitting on his lap, gave him a sideways glance and snorted disdainfully, having completely seized on Jiang Zhao’s weakness.
Heh, men.
Just a pair of black stockings is enough to drive you crazy. Let’s see what you’ll use to fight me in the future.
