Jiang Che not only poached someone else's love interest but also planned to smear Su Han's reputation.
Since Bai Qiangwei is so fond of Su Han...
What if she were to find out about Su Han's dark past?
Let's not forget, Jiang Che still has those little videos that Monkey gave him!
Su Han's tastes even shocked Jiang Che. Unable to win over Gu Lingfei, Su Han had resorted to finding other ordinary women dressed like Gu Lingfei, kneeling before them and acting like a desperate simp.
Watching those videos made Jiang Che cringe. Tsk tsk tsk, Su Han, the so-called "chosen one," has some rather questionable preferences!
If Bai Qiangwei were to see Su Han in such a pathetic state, what would she think?
"Hehehe—"
Jiang Che was already laughing in his heart.
"Jiang Che... brother, Su Han couldn’t possibly be the one who killed my brother! I’m absolutely certain!"
The girl looked at Jiang Che with utmost seriousness.
The usually cold and expressionless "three-no" girl (no words, no heart, no expression) was gradually becoming more talkative.
[PS: A "three-no" girl refers to a silent, emotionless, and expressionless girl, often seen as aloof and detached.]
"Haha... you can know a person's face but not their heart! Don’t be too quick to judge someone."
Jiang Che smiled as he walked up to Bai Qiangwei and patted her shoulder.
"You’ve been cooped up in the hotel for days, right? Let me take you out for a stroll."
Jiang Che was a master of time management, with daytime tasks and nighttime missions perfectly scheduled.
[A stroll?]
Bai Qiangwei glanced at Jiang Che, blinking twice. In her past, the concept of a "date" had never existed.
"Look at how you’re dressed—where’s the youthful charm a girl your age should have? You look like some cold-blooded assassin."
Jiang Che ruffled her hair, and Bai Qiangwei instinctively shrank back, like a cautious little kitten.
[What... what is he trying to do?]
Indeed, as long as the topic of her brother and Su Han wasn’t brought up, the girl became much quieter.
Jiang Che wasn’t in a hurry, though. After all, Su Han was still working as a security guard at Gu Lingfei’s company, under constant surveillance by Jiang Che’s people—24/7, very dedicated to his job.
So... Mr. Wolf King, I’ll be taking your little admirer away now!
No need to thank me!
......
This was Bai Qiangwei’s first time visiting such a large and upscale shopping mall.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous, looking around warily, which amused Jiang Che.
The female shop assistants followed them out. While they didn’t know Jiang Che personally, they had enough sense to recognize that in such high-end places... even a beggar shouldn’t be offended.
Jiang Che glanced at the shop assistants, and they tactfully walked away.
"This outfit looks nice..."
"A girl shouldn’t always dress in such dark tones. Someone your age should be more lively."
Jiang Che picked out several outfits for Qiangwei, practically treating her like a mannequin, a clothes hanger!
Jiang Che didn’t actually need to take Qiangwei out shopping. As a wealthy noble, his clothes were custom-made, with professionals coming to take measurements and delivering the finished products.
But since Qiangwei was such a reclusive girl, he thought it would be good to take her out and broaden her horizons!
...
Although Qiangwei never spoke, her expression made it clear... she really liked these beautiful clothes and didn’t mind being treated like a clothes hanger.
[This dress is so pretty, I love it.]
"Shop assistant, wrap this up. We’re buying it."
Qiangwei: "......"
Jiang Che wasn’t the type to wave his hand and say, "Except for these, buy everything else."
That kind of behavior was for idiots. Sure, he was rich, but he wasn’t brain-dead. Only those foolish protagonists would do something like that!
With his "Heart-Reading" skill, Jiang Che was practically invincible when it came to wooing girls, especially someone as quiet as Bai Qiangwei.
Bai Qiangwei turned out to be quite the contrast. Before, she always dressed in cold, frosty tones, wearing a black tight-fitting combat outfit with her hair tied back.
But who would’ve thought she’d love Lolita-style princess dresses?
"Wow... little lady, you’re absolutely stunning! I’ve been selling clothes for years... and you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. This dress suits you perfectly."
Jiang Che admired the girl in front of him, feeling a slight itch in his heart.
Dressed in a blue-and-white Lolita-style pleated skirt, paired with white sneakers and pristine white stockings that perfectly accentuated her legs, she looked like a princess.
Her hair had also been restyled, cascading down with a light pink bonnet, completing the look of a little princess.
With a bit of makeup and styling, Bai Qiangwei was breathtakingly beautiful, on par with Ye Mengyao as one of the top-tier female leads, both in terms of looks and charm!
Was Su Han impotent or something? Having such a beautiful admirer by his side and not making a move?
"Qiangwei, you look so beautiful, like a little princess."
Jiang Che’s compliment made the girl lower her head.
He knew Bai Qiangwei’s personality all too well—starved for love, lacking a sense of security, inexperienced in the world, and still quite naive.
For a girl like this, just throw money at her!
A few sweet words and she’d quickly warm up to him.
Money, for Jiang Che, was just a string of numbers!
...
By the time they left the mall, the once cold and aloof "three-no" girl had been transformed by Jiang Che into a little princess.
Her beauty was so striking that she garnered a 100% head-turning rate on the streets!
"Jiang Che brother, thank you for buying me these new clothes."
The cold and reserved girl had spoken of her own accord!
Before, she’d hesitated when calling him "brother," but now... it sounded so sweet.
"No need to thank me. You’re Brother Huai’s younger sister, so naturally, you’re my little sister too. And a beauty like you deserves to dress well."
"Look at your hands, all calloused... you must’ve suffered a lot in the past."
Qiangwei’s hands were rough with calluses, something she’d need to take care of in the future.
This was the second time Jiang Che had held her hand, but Qiangwei didn’t seem to mind.
Since her older brother’s death, this was the first time she’d felt loved and cared for!
Su Han had always been kind to her, but it was more like the care of an older brother for a younger sister, not the kind of affection she was feeling from Jiang Che.
From Jiang Che... she felt genuine adoration!
