Chapter 294 Don't know? I can teach you, just think of it as a character development game...

"Jiang Jing, we... we want to have a talk with you." Zhou Wanqin's tone was unusually serious.

Lin Hong also nodded, her eyes serious.

Jiang Jing found their "facing a formidable enemy" expressions somewhat amusing, but he still obliged and walked over to sit on the sofa. "Alright, go ahead. What do you want to talk about?"

The two women sat down opposite him and exchanged a glance. Finally, Zhou Wanqin took a deep breath and asked, "Jiang Jing, do you... do you really want us to... be your girlfriends?" As she asked this, her ears were already burning red.

Jiang Jing nodded without hesitation, looking at them with a candid gaze. "Yeah, does that even need asking? I've taken a liking to you both."

"From the first time we met, I thought you were both very beautiful and special." His answer was direct and domineering, without the slightest bit of evasion.

Lin Hong couldn't help but interrupt, sounding a mix of angry and helpless. "Then do you even know how many women you already have around you?!"

Jiang Jing shrugged, his expression matter-of-fact. "I know. Li Xue, Ruonan, Wen Ying, Qin Shuang, Xiaoxiao, Xinxin... I'm well aware of them all."

"Besides, didn't you know about this long ago?" His counter-question left the two women speechless.

It was true. They had known from the very beginning that Jiang Jing was a playboy, so questioning him about this now felt rather futile.

The two women were instantly choked with frustration, defeated once again by Jiang Jing's righteous shamelessness.

"So... is this what you wanted to talk to me about?" Jiang Jing asked, raising an eyebrow.

Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong were speechless again.

They had originally intended to "condemn" his philandering, hoping to get a "reasonable explanation" or a "promise," but they discovered that he didn't care at all, and even seemed to think their questions were unnecessary.

Watching Jiang Jing's calm, "This is how I am, deal with it" demeanor, the two women finally deflated like punctured balloons, as if they had finally accepted their fate.

Zhou Wanqin rubbed her temples and asked helplessly, "Then... the condition of the bet you mentioned earlier, it was this, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Jing nodded.

Lin Hong puffed out her chest, trying to look heroic, but her flushed cheeks betrayed her nervousness. "Fine! I, Lin, keep my word and never go back on it. I agree!"

However, her tone didn't sound like she was agreeing to be a girlfriend; it sounded more like she was about to carry out a suicide mission.

Seeing that her companion had "sacrificed" herself, Zhou Wanqin also took a deep breath. Although there was still a trace of hesitation in her eyes, she ultimately nodded solemnly, indicating her agreement.

Jiang Jing looked at the two women's expressions, which made it seem as though they were about to head onto a battlefield to die heroically, and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Hey, is that necessary? It's just being my girlfriend, not asking you to blow up a bunker. Relax, I'm not a man-eating monster."

His laughter only made the two women even more embarrassed.

Zhou Wanqin muttered softly, "It's not that... It's just that we've never dated before, and we don't know... how to handle this."

Lin Hong also rarely showed a hint of embarrassment and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing's eyes lit up. A signature mischievous grin appeared on his face as he leaned in closer and lowered his voice. "That's fine. If you don't know how, you can learn."

"I personally love teaching things hands-on. Let's just treat this as... girlfriend cultivation!"

"Pah! Who wants you to cultivate them!" The two women spat at the same time and shot Jiang Jing a massive eye-roll, though their cheeks turned even redder.

However, while they retorted verbally, they didn't pull away, nor did they raise any further objections.

After all, from the moment they had nodded, strictly speaking, Jiang Jing was now their... boyfriend.

Although this boyfriend was a bit special, and a bit... shameless.

But for some reason, looking at his exceptionally handsome face with that mischievous grin, besides feeling embarrassed and helpless...

...they actually felt a faint, indescribable thrill, like that of a first love.

Jiang Jing looked at the two somewhat adorable girls in front of him, and the mischievous grin on his face deepened.

He deliberately drew out his tone, his voice carrying a hint of temptation. "Since we're now a couple... shouldn't we do some things that couples do to celebrate this historic moment?"

As he spoke, he gazed at the two women with burning intensity.

His gaze seemed to carry a tangible heat, instantly reminding the two women of the feeling of being weak-kneed and intoxicated when he had kissed them before.

A wave of heat surged from the soles of their feet to the tops of their heads, and their cheeks instantly turned so red they looked like they might drip blood.

If only one of them had been alone with Jiang Jing at this moment, in this ambiguous atmosphere of having just established their relationship, she might have actually half-heartedly agreed to him.

But now, there was someone else here watching! How could that be possible?!

"Pah! Scoundrel!" "In your dreams!"

Almost simultaneously, Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong, their faces flushed, spat at Jiang Jing in unison.

Their appearance, a mix of shame and annoyance, carried a unique charm.

Before the words had even faded, the two of them, as if terrified that Jiang Jing might actually pounce on them, forgot all about their protection duties and instantly sprang up from the sofa.

Not daring to spare Jiang Jing another glance, they turned around quickly, pulled open the door, and darted out in a flash.

Leaving only the sound of a "bang" as the door closed, echoing through the suite.

Jiang Jing watched their retreating figures as they fled in panic. He was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. "Hahaha... they sure ran fast!"

Teasing these two girls, who were usually heroic and dashing but were now incredibly shy, was truly endless fun.

He stretched happily, deciding to let them off for now; after all, there would be plenty of time in the future.

However, just as Jiang Jing was enjoying his leisure time flirting with his confidantes in the Imperial Capital, an undercurrent was quietly surging far away at Shanshui Manor in Rong City.

It was late at night, and most people had already gone to sleep.

A slender figure slipped silently into a secluded corner of the manor where the signal was slightly better.

She looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that no one was there, she carefully took out a disguised satellite phone and dialed a complex number.

The call connected, and a low male voice came from the other end, speaking in Korean: "How is it?"

This person hiding in the shadows was none other than the stunning beauty whom Yixing Group had sent to Jiang Jing as a "gift"—Lee Ji-yeon.

At this moment, the usual fragility and obedience were gone from her face, replaced by tension and anxiety.

Lee Ji-yeon also reported in a low voice in Korean, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's me, Ji-yeon."

"Hmm. Any progress?" the person asked indifferently.

It was none other than the Third Young Master of Yixing Group—Lee Hyun-ki!
