After Bai Gucheng left, the more than one hundred hidden guards she had brought along silently dispersed.
But Su Chen had no idea about any of this. He still thought Bai Gucheng had only brought him along for the negotiation.
What he did know, though, was one thing—Jinlong would never dare to lay a hand on Bai Gucheng. If he did, there was no way he would live to walk away unscathed.
If anyone from the Bai family died, the retaliation that would follow wasn’t something a mere underground boss like Jinlong could withstand.
In the worst-case scenario, the negotiation might have failed, Su Chen might have been killed to send a warning—but with his Diamond Vajra Body, how could he be taken down so easily?
And besides, there were still those one hundred-plus hidden guards lying in wait, ready to rescue the young miss if anything went wrong.
Now that everything was over, and the guards had received Bai Gucheng’s signal, they quietly retreated.
Not long after, once the two had driven some distance away from the scene, they finally stopped to rest for a while.
They pulled up at an abandoned, unfinished building. In the darkness of night, the place resembled an ink-and-wash landscape painting. As one focused and looked out, black tones stretched endlessly across the horizon. The green of the fields was swallowed up by shadow, blending with the night and adding a layer of soft ink to the already deep darkness.
“Thank you for tonight,” Bai Gucheng said, twisting her perfect, slender waist toward him and flashing her first smile of the evening.
She reached out and gently touched Su Chen’s face.
“If I hadn’t handled them, would I have died?” she asked.
Su Chen replied with a question of his own, “No matter what, you were always going to be safe, right?”
At that moment, he still didn’t know about the existence of those hundred hidden guards. But even if he had, it wouldn’t have changed the risk to his own life—especially if he hadn’t been strong enough.
However, Bai Gucheng, who could hear his inner thoughts, was well aware of Su Chen’s strength. And that’s why she had also arranged the second layer of protection—those hidden guards.
So naturally, he was angry. This was such an important negotiation, and she only brought him along?
If he hadn’t been capable, wouldn’t he have died on the spot?
Even if he was just a lowly follower, this was no way to treat someone.
“What’s wrong? Are you… afraid?” Bai Gucheng smiled slightly and deliberately moved closer, stroking his face. “If you’d said so earlier, I wouldn’t have brought you alone.”
The way she touched his face made Su Chen feel like a pet being petted—a dog or a cat. He was not happy about it.
“Are you treating me like some pet?” Su Chen’s eyes burned with anger. He was already irritated tonight, and now she was messing with him like this—how could he not be mad?
He grabbed Bai Gucheng’s hand, pulled her close, and kissed her hard against the wall.
The sudden kiss hit her like a violent storm. Her mind went blank, and she instinctively closed her eyes, as if everything was natural and meant to be.
She stopped thinking. She didn’t want to think. She just followed her instincts, wanting it to continue.
Then Su Chen suddenly realized… maybe he had gone too far…
He finally stopped.
[(?o?????﹏o??????)!!]
[Oh crap! I might’ve gone too far!]
[Damn it! I just forced a kiss on my own boss—what kind of plot twist is this?!]
[I’m sorry, I’m sorry!! Sumimasen!!]
Right after that, Bai Gucheng, her face unusually flushed, pushed him away. With tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, the seductive goddess snapped, “You… you bastard!!”
She clearly hadn’t expected to lose her first kiss like this.
“Ahem… Now that’s what I call a proper thank you…” Su Chen said shamelessly.
That was what he called a real thank-you gift!
Though he looked calm on the outside, inside he was already panicking.
Crap—was he about to get fired? It felt like his little follower role was about to be history.
Would the system still give him rewards?
Su Chen’s mind was spinning with possibilities.
On Bai Gucheng’s side, her heart was still racing. Not only was she a virgin, but that was her first kiss—and now it was gone, just like that.
“I’m going to kill you!!” she shouted, charging toward him… only to have her hand grabbed again and kissed by Su Chen once more.
Damn, after the first time, the second one felt way easier. The beautiful scene replayed once again.
This cunning little follower had now forcibly kissed his breathtaking boss twice in a row.
Seriously, not even a novel would dare write something this crazy.
“You pervert! Shameless bastard!!”
Breaking away again, Bai Gucheng was now crying—shyness and fury blended together. Her usual icy goddess demeanor had completely shattered.
Her entire persona had collapsed.
Meanwhile, Su Chen stood there, unfazed, like a man who had nothing left to fear.
And at that exact moment, the system’s voice rang out!
