614: Chapter 614 Picking up Princess Jiang from get off work

"You're still laughing!" Gu Jia turned her head and glared at him.

"It's all because of you."

Chen Cheng looked very innocent, "Who told you not to want it? Could I have taken it back?"

"You!" Gu Jia's pretty face flushed red; this rogue really would say anything.

Chen Cheng chuckled, said nothing, and pulled her by the hand into the study.

He found a checkbook, signed for five hundred thousand, and stuffed it into her hand.

"Tell me if it's not enough."

Gu Jia felt a bit embarrassed and gave a soft response, "Mm~"

She reached out, took the check, and tucked it into the lining of her bag.

"Thank you~"

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, "Between us, don't mention thanks from now on."

Gu Jia's eyes darted around, a faint smile appearing on her face, "Among your many women, are there any older than me?"

"Age?" Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, "You haven't had your thirtieth birthday yet, have you?"

"Does the phrase 'older' even apply?"

Saying this, Chen Cheng blinked and realized, "What you want to ask is if there's anyone else with a child, right?"

"Mm~" Gu Jia's face flushed with shame, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Chen Cheng nodded, "Yes. But she's been divorced for a long time, and her daughter is in elementary school."

"There are no complications between us; it's just a matter of mutual need. I wanted her body, and she wanted mine."

He smiled and continued, "You know, at thirty, one is in their prime. Handiwork and toys just can't put out that fire."

"Pah~ Such a big boss, yet you have no shame, saying whatever you please," Gu Jia spat at him.

Chen Cheng shook his head. Women, so pretentious.

"Food and sex are basic human nature; what's there to be ashamed of?"

"Alright, let's go~"

Chen Cheng raised his hand to check his watch, "If we don't leave now, Xiao Qin will be back."

At the mention of Zhong Xiaoqin, Gu Jia's expression immediately changed, and she nodded somewhat frantically, "Mm~"

The two of them left the study one after the other and headed towards the foyer.

While changing his shoes, Chen Cheng said, "Oh, right, I'll have someone look for another apartment in the next couple of days so we can vacate this place."

"That way, it'll be more convenient for you to come and go."

Gu Jia was startled and quickly waved her hand, "No, definitely not."

It was bad enough that she was involved with her best friend's man like this, but to kick her friend out too? That would be truly heartless.

Chen Cheng sneered, "It's not like I'm leaving Zhong Xiaoqin with nowhere to live."

"Living here, she could even come back in the middle of a workday. It's too dangerous."

"You wouldn't want to be caught by your best friend, would you?"

Gu Jia thought about it, "Alright then~"

"But the new place can't be any worse than this one."

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at her, "Now you're making demands."

Gu Jia felt a bit awkward, "Uh..."

The corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up; this self-righteous, foolish woman still hadn't realized that she had already mentally accepted the next invitation.

He waved his hand, "Don't worry, Xiao Qin is also my woman. How could I mistreat her?"

Gu Jia breathed a sigh of relief, "Mm."

"You go first, and while you're at it, check the elevator and the hallway for anyone."

"Fine~" Chen Cheng shook his head in exasperation, opened the door, and walked out.

He glanced at the elevator, then at the stairwell, and turned back to say to the ajar door, "Alright, come out. The elevator is on the first floor, and there's no one in the stairwell."

Gu Jia took a breath, adjusted her mask, and then tiptoed out.

Chen Cheng watched her cautious behavior, his grin almost reaching his ears.

Indeed!

Young girls are just the path one takes; a young wife is the final destination.

Young wives are great.

Young wives are great!!!

Only after Gu Jia had tiptoed down to the 12th floor and he heard the fire door close did Chen Cheng press the elevator button.

Gu Jia opened her apartment door and found that the nanny hadn't returned yet, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

After calming her emotions, she hurried back to her room to change clothes.

The one she was wearing had been touched by Chen Cheng over and over; who knew if it had a scent.

Just as Gu Jia put down her bag and was about to go to the walk-in closet, she suddenly caught sight of the wedding photo by the bed.

In an instant, a chill swept through her entire body. Gu Jia stumbled and fell to the floor, tears flowing down like a bursting dam.

Within seconds, Gu Jia was covered in tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

...

"Find some time recently to pick out an apartment near Junyue Mansion."

"Huh?" On the other end of the phone, Wang Manni was stunned by this sudden request.

After Chen Cheng arrived at the underground garage of Company Name, he sat in Jiang Nansun's car to wait for her to finish work.

Since there was still some time, he arranged the matter he had just discussed with Gu Jia.

Actually, it would be best if Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni lived together in Junyue Mansion 1301, while Gu Jia lived in her own 1201.

It's just that for now, Xu the Firecracker hasn't been exposed yet.

Having already wronged Xu the Firecracker, Chen Cheng didn't do anything extra to accelerate the idea of the married woman Gu getting a divorce.

He planned to let nature take its course.

Besides, his bond with Gu Jia wasn't deep enough yet; Gu Jia wasn't willing to divorce.

"I said, I want you to pick out an apartment. It needs to be convenient for Zhong Xiaoqin's commute, and you'll live there with her."

"However, you can't let Zhong Xiaoqin know this was my idea."

"Do you understand?"

Wang Manni blinked, her mind racing. "You want Xiao Qin to move out of Junyue Mansion, but... you're too embarrassed to say it directly."

"Did I... did I understand that correctly?"

"Yeah, pretty much." Chen Cheng nodded.

Let me pick?

On the other end of the line, Wang Manni smacked her lips, trying to see if there was any other meaning in those words.

Then she shook her head; whatever, she'd just agree first. "Okay, I got it."

"And as for the budget..."

Chen Cheng: "Nothing too bad. Just look for something comparable to Junyue Mansion."

"Mainly focus on the layout, orientation, floor, and transportation. You don't need to consider school districts."

"I understand, Daddy. Don't you worry," Wang Manni replied in a coquettish voice.

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched; Wang Manni's sudden flirtatiousness almost caught him off guard.

The two chatted for a bit and then hung up.

Just as Chen Cheng put down his phone, he saw Jiang Nansun walking over briskly.

Seeing Princess Jiang's light footsteps, the corners of Chen Cheng's mouth curled up.

Regarding the question Gu Jia asked, Chen Cheng suddenly had a new realization.

Among the women involved with him, no matter who they were—it's hard to say how deep the love was—but there was definitely some level of liking.

Otherwise, why would Boss Chen, who was like a Mythical creature known for attracting wealth, spend time, money, and energy to woo these women?

"Why are you here?" Jiang Nansun was still a bit surprised as she got into the car.

When Chen Cheng said he was coming to pick her up from work, she thought he had sent the message to the wrong person.

Chen Cheng looked at her with a strange expression, "Can't I come to pick up my girlfriend from work?"

A smile tugged at the corners of Jiang Nansun's mouth, "Aren't you afraid of being seen by President Ye?"
