Nighttime.
For Bai Jie, it was an excruciating ordeal.
She had been assigned the task of standing guard at night—right outside Jiang Che's bedroom door.
Bai Jie was madly in love with Jiang Che. If he continued to act as he had before, obsessing over Ye Mengyao and leaving Bai Jie with no hope, this girl would undoubtedly spiral into darkness.
But unfortunately, thanks to Jiang Che's manipulations, the once yandere fangirl was now veering toward becoming a full-blown obsessive admirer.
[Dammit! What do they have that I don’t? I’m not ugly, okay!]
The girl stood at the door, her face twisted with resentment.
She glanced at the time—it was already 2 a.m.
At first, she was shocked, but then a wave of intense joy washed over her.
...
The next morning.
When Jiang Che opened his bedroom door, Bai Jie, who had been curled up asleep against the door, was startled awake.
Instinctively, she lowered her head. Even though she was wearing a mask, she was still terrified of being discovered.
She had been plotting how to sneak into Jiang Che's bed and didn’t want to be caught and thrown out.
Jiang Che chuckled softly.
He didn’t make the first move; he was waiting for the girl to take the initiative herself.
Last night, he had already informed Qiangwei and the others to treat Bai Jie like any ordinary servant.
...
Bai Jie's heart was in complete turmoil, to the point where Jiang Che didn’t dare to activate his ‘Heart Reading’ ability.
“Oh? Lift your head,” Jiang Che said, gently tilting Bai Jie’s chin with his fingers.
“Why are you still wearing a mask? Are you ugly?”
Jiang Che’s words made Bai Jie’s body tremble. She had sneaked in, and now she was worried she’d been found out.
“Heh... If you’re good-looking, I might just let you serve me tonight!”
Jiang Che released her chin and then turned to leave, leaving Bai Jie standing there in a daze.
She knew she wasn’t unattractive, but she had always been plagued by insecurity, especially compared to someone like Ye Mengyao, a naturally elegant and wealthy young lady.
“Wait—”
Bai Jie was about to take off her mask, but Jiang Che had already walked downstairs.
Qiangwei passed by her, giving Bai Jie a quick glance.
Though she had been pampered by Jiang Che for a month and had almost become useless, Qiangwei was still a trained mercenary at heart.
This woman... she secretly likes Jiang Che too!
Ugh, how annoying!
......
Wang Laiyun had been in high spirits lately. He had successfully taken down Qi Lv and his allies, and even managed to climb half a rank higher from his position as the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Wang Yanran was also thrilled because she had gone through great lengths to obtain the evidence from Jiang Che that had brought down Qi Lv.
“Yanran, I’ve already spoken to your Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. Let’s treat them to a meal later. This is a huge favor... one that might be hard to repay in the future!”
Wang Laiyun sighed, then turned his gaze to his daughter.
Hmm... While this favor might be difficult to repay, what if I marry my daughter into the Jiang family? How would you handle that?
Wang Yanran’s face flushed slightly, but she nodded. After all, her family did owe Jiang Che a massive debt.
...
The dinner gathering was modest, held at a small restaurant.
Jiang Yunli and Jiang Yuan were both a bit confused. They really hadn’t done anything!
They then turned their attention to Jiang Che, who was sitting beside them. “Son, was this your doing?”
Jiang Che shrugged. “Who else could it be?”
Wang Yanran had practically begged him, going through all sorts of trouble to get the evidence.
Wang Laiyun and his wife smiled, nudging Wang Yanran beside them.
Before coming out, they had specifically asked Wang Yanran to change into a fitted lavender dress and switch her usual ponytail for loose, wavy hair.
She exuded a mature, alluring charm, her figure so captivating that Jiang Che could hardly take his eyes off her.
[Hehehe, Yanran is so beautiful. I must make her my daughter-in-law!]
[That curvy figure, that perky body—she’d definitely be great at bearing children!]
Jiang Yunli was even more eager than Jiang Che, already fast-forwarding to the idea of grandchildren.
Wang Laiyun cleared his throat. “Xiao Che, I really have to thank you this time. If it weren’t for your help, I would’ve been done for.”
“Uncle Wang, it was nothing. Whether it was for you or Yanran, I would’ve helped regardless.”
The conversation continued with expressions of gratitude, eventually shifting to Jiang Che and Wang Yanran.
“Xiao Che, what do you think of my Yanran?”
Wang Laiyun’s face was slightly flushed from the alcohol.
Jiang Che’s gaze fell on Wang Yanran, his lips curling into a faint smile. “Yanran looks stunning today.”
How could she not? The lavender dress paired with her wavy hair—even her sister said purple had a certain charm!
Jiang Che couldn’t help but let his smile slip.
Wang Laiyun’s eyes lit up. There’s potential here!
Wang Yanran shot Jiang Che a subtle glare.
Her emotions were in complete disarray. She should’ve told her parents that Jiang Che was a notorious playboy, surrounded by three or four beautiful girls. But on the other hand... she didn’t want her parents to know.
This is so frustrating!
“Since Xiao Che seems to have feelings for Yanran, how about... we arrange an engagement? We can formalize the marriage later!”
Wang Laiyun’s words shocked everyone at the table.
Especially Wang Yanran, who was completely stunned. Marrying... Jiang Che? This is moving way too fast!
Though she and Jiang Che had had some close moments, jumping straight to marriage felt way too rushed!
“I’m all for it! I wholeheartedly agree!”
Jiang Yunli immediately raised her hand in approval.
“Honey!” Jiang Yuan tugged at his wife’s hand, giving her a meaningful look.
Our son has so many women around him. If you arrange an engagement, what about the other girls?
“Ahem... I think such a big decision should be left to Xiao Che!”
The pressure was now on Jiang Che.
Jiang Che’s lips twitched. Another engagement?
The last one with Ye Mengyao hadn’t even been resolved yet... and now Wang Yanran?
All I want is to be a proper, upstanding villain, flirting with a few girls here and there. Why does it have to lead to marriage?
A seasoned captain never docks at just one port.
