30: Leng Qingqiu compromises

"First, after the contract is signed, I will widely publicize the fact that you've invested in Lanzi Group; I won't deliberately hide it..."

"Second, when you are with me, you can only accompany me."

"Third, I hope you give me ten days. After ten days, I will give myself to you completely..."

Leng Qingqiu composed herself, her vermillion lips parting slightly as she slowly spoke, putting forward her requirements.

Fearing that Jiang Che might misunderstand, she continued to explain.

"During these ten days, I will find ways to fall in love with you, don't worry..."

After speaking, Leng Qingqiu's long, delicate eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Jiang Che with a nervous expression.

The reason Leng Qingqiu proposed these three requirements was, naturally, after careful consideration.

Needless to say, Jiang Che's status in Linjiang City was immense. If the news of Jiang Che investing in Lanzi Group was publicized, what kind of partnership would Lanzi Group be unable to find in the future?

Even if they didn't respect her, they would respect him. Once the fact that Jiang Che had invested in Lanzi Group was set in stone, plenty of corporate bosses would naturally come knocking on her door, begging to cooperate with her.

As for the second requirement, it could be considered a way to satisfy her past adolescent fantasies about romance.

After discovering Jiang Che's true face, Leng Qingqiu knew it was impossible for him to have only one woman.

Leng Qingqiu was a smart woman and saw her own position very clearly. Naturally, she wouldn't act like those young girls who throw tantrums or threaten suicide; moreover, she disdained doing something so beneath her.

She only hoped that when Jiang Che was accompanying her, there would be no other women around.

As for whether she could keep stringing Jiang Che along and never give him the chance to have his way?

Leng Qingqiu hadn't ruled out the possibility, but she dismissed it in an instant.

Jiang Che was a greedy wolf. If he wasn't allowed to eat meat for a long time and was pushed too far, who knew what he might do?

Therefore, Leng Qingqiu could only force herself to completely fall in love with Jiang Che within ten days.

Even if she couldn't fall completely in love, she at least had to raise her favorability toward him so that she wouldn't be too resistant when doing 'that' kind of thing.

Furthermore, Leng Qingqiu did indeed need a buffer period to accept this reality.

After all, having been single for a full 29 years and suddenly having a boyfriend—and having to do those lewd things—Leng Qingqiu naturally found it a bit hard to accept.

"No problem, I can promise you that."

Jiang Che smiled brightly, accepting Leng Qingqiu's proposal without a second thought.

It was only ten days; he could afford to wait.

Besides, Leng Qingqiu only said he couldn't make the final Breakthrough during these ten days; she didn't say he couldn't do other things.

In that case, it would be quite reasonable for him to take her to do some things that boyfriends and girlfriends like to do, right?

...

"Then... I am your girlfriend now?"

Seeing Jiang Che agree, Leng Qingqiu's slightly pale, pretty face turned a faint shade of red. Her exquisite earlobes were also stained with a flush. She bit her lip lightly, and her voice became soft and sweet, no longer possessing its previous coldness.

Although during her occasional leisure time outside of work, Leng Qingqiu had fantasized about having a sweet romance, it was only a thought; she had never put it into action.

Despite having many pursuers, Leng Qingqiu had never felt a spark for anyone.

Now, having become Jiang Che's girlfriend through a strange twist of fate and half-hearted compliance, she couldn't help but feel a bit shy.

This kind of thing was truly quite a shock for a woman like her who hadn't been in a relationship for twenty-nine years.

Since she had already accepted this special romantic relationship with Jiang Che and intended to make herself fall completely in love with this man within ten days, Leng Qingqiu would naturally take action.

After all, she had always been a person of decisive action.

With this thought, Leng Qingqiu quickly made a decision. Under Jiang Che's incredibly stunned gaze, she proactively leaned forward and offered her red lips.

...

Jiang Che sat in the spacious boss chair and chuckled softly.

"How does kissing feel?"

"It feels... quite nice..."

"A bit sweet~"

Leng Qingqiu blurted out the answer subconsciously, her expression looking slightly unnatural.

This was her first time having such an intimate gesture with a man, and she instinctively felt a bit at a loss.

Before this, Leng Qingqiu had never imagined that kissing could be such a physically and mentally pleasant experience.

It really was just like the books said—there was a sweet, honey-like taste.

Could it be that she really had felt a spark for this bastard Jiang Che?

[Leng Qingqiu is slightly moved by you, emotion points +1314...]

Hearing the System notification ring in his mind at the right time, Jiang Che smiled slightly, feeling pleasant.

Although she was only slightly moved, it was at least a good sign.

He didn't just want Leng Qingqiu's person; he wanted her heart as well. He wanted it all.

Everyone has vanity, and Jiang Che was naturally no exception.

Seeing the iceberg CEO, who was pursued by thousands, snuggling so obediently in his arms, Jiang Che felt a surge of satisfaction and an exploding sense of achievement.

"You really got lucky; this was my first kiss~"

As her thoughts gradually returned, Leng Qingqiu let out a coquettish hmph and gave Jiang Che a sidelong glance.

Logically speaking, since Jiang Che had pressured and threatened her like this, her heart should be full of resistance toward this man. How could she subconsciously say such flirtatious words?

Could it be that this guy's charm was already great enough to influence her subconsciously?

Unable to figure it out, Leng Qingqiu could only attribute the changes in herself to Jiang Che's Heaven-Defying looks.

"This was my first kiss too."

Jiang Che had a serious look and a solemn expression.

"Really?"

Leng Qingqiu looked at Jiang Che with a face full of suspicion, not believing his claim at all.

"Of course. Today's first kiss."

Jiang Che nodded. Didn't things like 'first kisses' automatically refresh at midnight?

"Bastard!"
