Chapter 358 Han Zhi'en's Amusing Thoughts, Several Girls Punish the Villain
Because Han Ji-eun had just arrived, she was still a bit reserved.
Wearing only a relatively conservative one-piece swimsuit, she sat with her older sister, Lee Ji-yeon, in the shallow area of the pool, her fair calves and feet soaking in the cool water, gently swaying.
She watched as Jiang Jing fooled around in the water, and though the other women scolded him, their faces were filled with indulgent and even enjoying smiles, leaving her slightly dazed.
Particularly when she saw Jiang Jing trapping Su Xiaoxiao in a corner of the pool, one arm wrapped around her waist, as he lowered his head to kiss her deeply.
Su Xiaoxiao initially pushed him away symbolically a couple of times, but she quickly softened under Jiang Jing's domineering assault, wrapping her arms around his neck and responding passionately.
Her staggering softness was nearly squeezed out of shape under the pressure, making for a highly sensual and thrilling scene.
Han Ji-eun's cheeks burned as she watched, her heart racing involuntarily.
She secretly nudged her sister beside her, leaned in close to her ear, and asked softly with a hint of trepidation, "Sister... Brother-in-law is so lecherous, is he... is he also after me?"
Lee Ji-yeon was staring blankly at the scene of Jiang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao kissing passionately. Perhaps thinking of some R-rated scenes, her cheeks also flushed with a rosy hue.
Hearing her sister's question, she snapped out of it and sighed softly.
"Ji-eun," Lee Ji-yeon replied in a low voice, her gaze turning distant. "Do you remember when we were in South Korea?"
"Those so-called high society figures—glamorous on the outside, but how filthy and disgusting they are on the inside. Haven't we seen enough of them?"
"The only reason they didn't touch us before was because we still had utility. Once we lost our value, our fate... would have been no better than those girl group members, maybe even more miserable."
Hearing this, Han Ji-eun's expression turned solemn, and she nodded seriously.
The darkness controlled by the chaebols was something they, as people from South Korea, knew all too well.
Lee Ji-yeon changed the subject, redirecting her gaze to the man in the pool who, despite his mischief, didn't inspire any dislike. Her eyes softened significantly:
"But Oppa Jiang Jing is different. Although he also possesses power and wealth beyond our imagination, he is truly good to the people around him."
"You see, every single one of these girls follows him sincerely. There might be a bit of jealousy among them, but the overall atmosphere is so harmonious and happy. That's not something that can be easily faked."
Han Ji-eun nodded again; she had deeply experienced this herself.
Where there are many women, trouble is bound to brew, and backstabbing is the norm.
But here, she felt a rare sense of ease and harmony.
Everyone seemed to tacitly accept each other's existence and worked hard to maintain the harmony of this big family.
"So..." Lee Ji-yeon gave her sister a meaningful look, leaving her sentence unfinished.
Han Ji-eun waited for a moment, and not getting a clear answer, she blinked in confusion. "Unnie? You still haven't answered my question..."
Lee Ji-yeon found her sister's slow reaction amusing and couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.
After saying so much, wasn't the meaning obvious enough?
Stared at by her sister, Han Ji-eun was stunned for a moment before she understood her sister's subtext—
Since Jiang Jing was a good person, the sisters got along harmoniously, and he was clearly a "carnivore", then it was only a matter of time before little lambs like them, who had delivered themselves to his doorstep, were targeted by him.
And... she didn't seem to object. In fact... she was somewhat happy to see it happen?
Once she figured this out, Han Ji-eun's face instantly flushed crimson.
Sisters joining forces... such a thing would be thrilling enough anywhere.
But in this current atmosphere, for some reason, aside from shyness, she didn't feel much resistance in her heart.
"[For the sake of my sister living a better life here and receiving more of Oppa Jiang Jing's affection... I... I suppose making a small sacrifice isn't out of the question...]"
Han Ji-eun rationalized it in her mind, secretly looking up at Jiang Jing in the pool.
Right now, he had just released the dazed, thoroughly kissed Su Xiaoxiao, water droplets sliding down his handsome profile and firm chest.
Han Ji-eun had to admit that, putting aside his extraordinary abilities and power, this brother-in-law was indeed the finest of the fine in terms of looks and physique alone, exceptionally charming...
If Lee Ji-yeon knew that her sister was actually thinking of "putting herself in harm's way" to help her vie for favor, she would probably be caught between tears and laughter.
This silly sister of hers hadn't fully grasped the situation yet.
Given Jiang Jing's qualities, who knew how many outstanding girls were lining up to get close to him? For the two sisters to be able to stay here was already a stroke of luck in a way.
Just then, Jiang Jing dove into the water and swam over to the sisters in the shallow area in a few strokes.
"Ah!" Lee Ji-yeon only had time to let out a short gasp before she was pulled tightly into Jiang Jing's embrace.
"Oppa!" Lee Ji-yeon cried out softly, her hands instinctively wrapping around his neck.
Jiang Jing looked down at the beautiful woman in his arms, her face looking even more exquisite after being wet with water. With a wicked grin, he kissed her without letting her speak, stifling all her protests and coquettish complaints.
"Mmh..." Lee Ji-yeon quickly lost herself in the passionate kiss, her body turning soft, forced to rely on his strength to keep from slipping.
Han Ji-eun sat right beside them, watching her sister and brother-in-law put on such a hot, passionate kiss right before her eyes.
All of this made her face flush red and her heart beat like a drum.
A strange tingling sensation inexplicably surged from deep within her body, causing her to unconsciously bring her legs together.
Could this... could this be some strange telepathy between sisters?
After a long while, Jiang Jing finally released Lee Ji-yeon, whose eyes were hazy, still wanting more.
He turned to look at Han Ji-eun, who was trying to shrink herself into the water, and couldn't help but find her deeply flushed ears and dodging gaze amusing.
He cleared his throat and announced with a wicked grin, "Alright, today's pool playtime is over! Next up—it's time for the adults' battle!"
With that, he suddenly scooped up the limp Lee Ji-yeon by her waist and slung her over his sturdy shoulder.
Amid Lee Ji-yeon's gasps, he strode out of the pool, splashing water everywhere.
Passing by Su Xiaoxiao, who was still catching her breath by the pool, he reached out with his other free arm and easily scooped her up under his arm.
"Ya! Jiang Jing, what are you doing!"
"Put us down!"
With a beauty on each side and dripping wet all over, Jiang Jing looked like a mountain bandit chief who had just kidnapped some brides:
"Hahaha, none of you are escaping tonight! Follow this King back to the mountain stronghold!"
Ignoring the two women's soft cries and symbolic struggles, he took long strides and ran laughing toward the master bedroom.
The remaining girls by the pool looked at each other, their faces filled with both annoyance and amusement.
"Brother is simply too much!" Xinxin spat, but her eyes were sparkling.
"Exactly, what does he take us for!" Zhou Wenying puffed her cheeks, though the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Li Xue shook her head helplessly, an indulgent smile on her face. "Oh well, who told us to end up with such a 'tyrant'?"
Qin Shuang blinked slyly. "Then... should we go and denounce this villain? We can't let him get too smug!"
Li Ruonan rotated her wrists. "Sounds like a plan! Let's go, sisters, let's crusade against him together!"
They stood up one after another, dried themselves off, slipped into their bathrobes, and walked in unison toward the master bedroom, leaving a trail of fragrant breeze behind them.
