Chapter 267 Let's Whisper Sweet Talk in Each Other's Ears

The convoy arrived at an extremely secluded, top-tier reception hotel in the Imperial Capital.

The hotel environment was quiet and serene, with a high level of security, clearly a venue dedicated to hosting important figures.

Jiang Jing checked into a suite with an excellent view.

After setting down his simple luggage, he felt dusty from the journey and decided to take a shower first to relax.

In the spacious and luxurious bathroom, steam swirled around.

Jiang Jing stood under the showerhead, the warm water washing over his body; he was in a good mood and couldn't help but burst into song.

He couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret: "It's a pity that someone with such a great singing voice like me doesn't have the chance to show it off."

But there was no helping it; given his current status and position, it was impossible for him to go out and sing...

After showering, he casually wrapped a bath towel around his waist and walked out, shirtless.

He flopped onto the soft sofa in the living room without any regard for his image, ready to enter "zombie mode."

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the suite door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Jing asked lazily. He got up, walked to the door, and looked through the peephole to see that standing outside were none other than the two beautiful captains, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong.

A wicked grin immediately curled onto Jiang Jing's lips. Without a second thought, he yanked the door open.

Outside the door, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong were just about to speak when the door suddenly opened, and a male torso, clad only in a bath towel and bare-chested, appeared right before their eyes.

Well-proportioned and powerful muscle lines, broad shoulders, solid pectoral muscles, and clearly defined eight-pack abs...

The intense visual impact left the two women frozen in place, their brains seemingly crashing for a second.

"Oh my, my two dear captains, it's only been a short while since we parted, and you already miss me?"

Taking advantage of their daze, Jiang Jing spread his arms as if to embrace them, teasing them with flowery words: "Are you so impatient to find me that you want to give me a welcoming hug?"

It wasn't until Jiang Jing was about to press against them that Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong snapped back to reality.

"Ah! You... what are you doing!"

"Pervert! Put on some clothes!"

The two women exclaimed almost simultaneously, their pretty faces instantly flushing red. Subconsciously, they reached out their hands, pressing them against Jiang Jing's solid chest and abs to stop this lecherous wolf from coming any closer.

However, when their palms made contact with that elastic and powerful sensation, both women's hearts couldn't help but skip a beat.

The scent of hormones seemed to carry an electric current, striking their hearts directly through their palms.

Jiang Jing clearly felt that the four little hands pressed against his chest and abdomen, after the initial push, actually began to make extremely subtle caressing movements.

He looked down and saw that both Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Their expressions were somewhat like those of infatuated women.

Jiang Jing chuckled inwardly but didn't point it out. He just stood there smiling, letting the two beautiful captains take advantage of him.

After several seconds, Lin Hong was the first to completely wake up from this "temptation of beauty."

She suddenly realized what her hands were doing and quickly pulled them back as if burned. Her face instantly flushed deep red, almost as if it were dripping blood.

"Ahem!" She coughed loudly twice, trying to use a stern expression to hide her inner panic. "You... what do you look like! Put on your clothes quickly!"

Zhou Wanqin also woke up as if from a dream. She withdrew her hands as if electrified, her eyes darting around in a panic, not daring to look at Jiang Jing's bare upper body again. Her ears were completely red.

The two women forced themselves to remain calm, straightening their clothes that had no wrinkles, then lowered their heads and quickly squeezed past Jiang Jing into the suite's living room, as if there were some terrifying beast outside.

Jiang Jing watched their shy and cute appearance, feeling great. He then slowly closed the door, followed them inside, and sat down casually on the sofa.

"Speak up, two captains, what do you want with me? Surely you didn't really miss me, right?" Jiang Jing continued to tease.

The two women took a deep breath, trying to calm their racing hearts and the heat on their faces.

Zhou Wanqin spoke first, her tone recovering its usual coldness, though if one listened carefully, a trace of unnaturalness could still be detected:

"There is serious business."

"We just received news that a key technology we are currently developing in secret has encountered a bottleneck in a core aspect that is difficult to overcome. The project team has been stuck for a long time, and progress is slow."

Lin Hong added, "The expert group has discussed it for a long time, but they haven't had any leads."

"Until... someone suggested that we could come and ask for your opinion."

"So, the higher-ups asked us to give you a heads-up first. They might formally invite you to participate in the discussion later, hoping you can provide some ideas."

Hearing this, Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised: "Oh, you've encountered a difficult problem? Then why not just come talk to me directly instead of taking a roundabout way through you two?"

Once this question was asked, the blush that had just faded a little from Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong's faces instantly flooded back, and their eyes became somewhat shifty and embarrassed.

Zhou Wanqin pursed her lips, finding it hard to say: "Because... the higher-ups believe that you have already provided so many epoch-making contributions to the country, and you have already given enough."

"In contrast, the scientific research teams who are paid to do this work have been unable to produce any decent results, and now they have to trouble you again... they feel... feel very embarrassed to ask."

Lin Hong also added with a flushed face, her voice getting quieter as she spoke: "So... so they thought that if they let us... let us blow some 'pillow talk' to you first, it might... might be more effective, and you would be more likely to accept..."

"Pfft—hahaha!" After listening, Jiang Jing was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Makes sense! That makes perfect sense!"

"Those old guys really are crafty! They even know how to use a beauty trap and 'pillow talk'! They really have it all figured out!"

While laughing, he cast a mischievous look, scanning back and forth over Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong's faces—which were becoming even more charming and beautiful due to their shyness—and their graceful figures, a playful arc curling at the corners of his mouth.

"So... my two captains, burdened with such a grand mission of 'pillow talk'," Jiang Jing drawled, his tone full of ambiguity, "how do you plan... to blow this wind?"

Looking at Jiang Jing's teasing, wicked grin, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong only felt their cheeks burning intensely.

"We... as citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, being able to contribute to the country is... is only natural~"

Lin Hong tried to straighten her back and put on a righteous posture, but the words she spoke carried a sense of guilt that even she could hear.

Her tone was soft and weak, completely lacking confidence.
