“Forgive me.”
Chen Jiang ripped open the front of Jiang Yutong’s clothes.
A vast expanse of pale, delicate skin was revealed.
He fought back the tremor in his hands, moving them down to unbutton her hip-hugging skirt…
He gave a bitter laugh.
‘Faced with such beauty, any other man would have lost control by now.
Only I would be so ridiculously proper.’
He took out the silver needles he carried with him and slowly inserted one into the Qi Chong Acupoint below Jiang Yutong’s navel.
He then circulated his True Qi, channeling it into her body.
Chen Jiang sighed.
“You really can’t blame me for this.
The acupoints this Acupuncture Technique requires me to stimulate are in…
sensitive places.
Plus, this potent drug you were given is quite aggressive.
The only way to force it out of your system is with the Meridian Needle.
Just bear with it for a moment…”
A dozen or so seconds after the needle stimulated the acupoint, Jiang Yutong suddenly gripped the bedsheets!
“Holy shit!” Chen Jiang was speechless.
He glanced down at his clothes, the corner of his mouth twitching.
“I don’t know whether to say you’re a wild one, or if this drug is just that strong…”
He glanced at Jiang Yutong and found that after the drug’s effects had been forced out, she had simply fallen into a deep sleep.
‘She’s comfortable now, but I’m still suffering here.’
He had no choice but to take a set of clothes from his cloth bag and head into the bathroom.
The drug in Jiang Yutong’s system was neutralized.
But his clothes were now soiled.
He needed to take a shower to cool his ardor.
「The next day.」
Chen Jiang, who had been sleeping on the sofa, slowly woke up.
He found that the beauty from the bed had vanished without a trace.
However, a sheet had been draped over him, and next to him were a thousand yuan in cash and a small note.
Chen Jiang smiled.
‘Looks like she was too embarrassed to face me.’
‘After all, she lost her composure under the drug’s influence yesterday and even soiled my clothes.’
He collected his thoughts and muttered, “A thousand yuan isn’t bad.
I didn’t lose out.
But I was delayed a whole night.
It’s time to go to Mrs.
Xu’s place.”
Thinking of Mrs.
Xu’s gentle and stunning face, Chen Jiang couldn’t help but feel a warmth spread through his heart.
‘Mrs.
Xu was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen growing up!’
When he was a child, he often joked that he would marry Mrs.
Xu when he grew up.
But Mrs.
Xu would always tease him back, telling him they could talk about it once his “little bean sprout” had grown up.
Remembering his childish candidness, Chen Jiang couldn’t help but blush a little.
「Half an hour later.」
He went straight to Mrs.
Xu’s home.
Donghe District, Apartment 703.
“Who is it?” After ringing the doorbell, Chen Jiang heard a pleasant, bell-like voice from inside, but it was tinged with a hint of vigilance and fear.
“I’m Chen Jiang.
I’m here to see Mrs.
Xu,” Chen Jiang said.
Jiang Yuning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, so you’re the Jiang my mom mentioned yesterday.
The one who’s coming to stay with us for a while.
Mrs.
Lin’s son.”
The Mrs.
Lin she mentioned was Chen Jiang’s mother.
The security door was opened a crack, and an exquisitely pretty face appeared before Chen Jiang.
But in the next moment, Chen Jiang’s expression changed slightly.
‘Isn’t this the girl who spent the night with me at the hotel?’
‘She’s Mrs.
Xu’s daughter?’
‘What a small world!’
He gave an awkward smile.
“What a coincidence.
We meet again.”
The girl stared blankly for a moment, blinking her large, limpid eyes.
“I’ve never met you before.
Have you met my older sister?”
‘Older sister?’
Chen Jiang suddenly remembered that Mrs.
Xu was said to have two daughters—twin sisters.
‘The one I met last night must have been the other one!’
Jiang Yuning gave a sweet smile.
“Yesterday, my mom told us you were coming.
I even made dinner last night, but you never showed up.”
Chen Jiang rubbed his nose.
“Something came up.”
Jiang Yuning’s limpid eyes sized Chen Jiang up.
‘At first, when her mom said Chen Jiang was from the countryside, she was afraid he’d be some sloppy, unrefined person, or a guy full of bad habits.
She never expected him to be so handsome.’
‘Although his clothes were simple, they were clean, and he had a ruggedly handsome face.’
‘This was much better than she had imagined.’
‘Having him stay at their place for a while wasn’t entirely unacceptable.’
Chen Jiang was also studying the girl in front of him.
‘Although she looked identical to the girl from last night, her aura was completely different.’
‘The girl from last night had seemed more mature.
The one standing before him now had the innocent naivete of a college student—pure, adorable, and full of youthful energy.’
Noticing her light, revealing clothes, he quickly averted his gaze and followed Jiang Yuning inside.
Watching Jiang Yuning’s back, Chen Jiang couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
‘If you turned off the lights, you really wouldn’t be able to tell these twin sisters apart.’
Jiang Yuning poured him a glass of water.
“My sister can be a bit cold usually, but since you’ve already met, she probably won’t give you a hard time.”
“Oh, right, where did you run into my sister?
She didn’t even come home last night.”
“‘It’s a bit of an awkward story.
You should ask your sister about it when she gets home,’ Chen Jiang evaded.”
‘Tell her I met her sister at a foot massage parlor?’
‘Wouldn’t that be asking for a beating?’
‘Good thing I restrained myself last night.
Otherwise, I’d have no idea how to face her today.’
‘This is Mrs.
Xu’s daughter, after all…’
But, if he recalled correctly, while Mrs.
Xu’s family wasn’t fabulously wealthy, they were still well-off.
So why would Jiang Yutong have to resort to working at a foot massage parlor?
‘Could there be some hidden story behind this?’
CLICK-CLACK-CLACK!
The sound of high heels striking the floor came from outside.
“Yuning, I’m home.”
“My sister’s back!” Jiang Yuning immediately ran excitedly to open the door.
Soon, Jiang Yutong, dressed in a hip-hugging skirt and white blouse, walked in from outside carrying a bag.
“Is that guy Mom mentioned here?”
“You were home alone last night.
Did this guy try to pull anything on you?” Jiang Yutong asked as she bent over to change her shoes.
Her exquisite figure was outlined perfectly in front of Chen Jiang.
Without looking up, her cool voice carried a hint of displeasure.
‘He might be Mom’s best friend’s son, but this is a household of three women.
It’s really inconvenient to have a man living here.
She had to make things clear and get him to back off, to not disturb the lives of their small family.’
Jiang Yuning tugged at the corner of her shirt and whispered, “Sister, Brother Jiang just got here a moment ago.”
After swapping her high heels for slippers, Jiang Yutong slowly looked up.
“Hmph.
Then I’ll make it clear to him right now.
There’s no room for him in our home.”
But when she got a clear look at Chen Jiang’s face, the expression on her stunningly cold and beautiful features shifted from indifference to utter shock.
“It’s you?!”
