The electric scooter is fully charged...
Even Jiang Che couldn't hold back when he heard this line. This "Warrior Son-in-Law" was truly something else—always bringing up the most awkward topics. Couldn’t he see Ji Ningxue’s pretty face turning dark with anger?
Zhou Kai seized the moment to mock her directly, "Haha, Ji Ningxue, a CEO worth billions... don’t tell me this guy ferries you to work every day on his electric scooter?"
Another woman chimed in with a sneer, "Ningxue, isn’t there a saying? 'Better to cry in a Bugatti than laugh in a BMW.' How could a measly electric scooter ever match your status?"
Xiao Chen frowned. "What’s wrong with an electric scooter? The city’s always jammed with traffic—scooters are way more convenient."
Xiao Chen was the epitome of patience. Even knowing they were mocking him, he calmly defended himself, word by word.
In his mind, this was the mark of dignity and composure. But to everyone else... it just looked weak and spineless.
"Enough! Xiao Chen, shut up! How many times do I have to tell you? I have my own car. Keep that piece-of-junk scooter for yourself!"
"And who told you to come here? Didn’t I say to stay at home?"
Ji Ningxue’s gaze turned icy. She had zero affection for Xiao Chen. If not for her grandfather forcing him into the Ji family, she would never have crossed paths with such a loser.
Now, Xiao Chen had become an indelible stain on her reputation.
"Ningning, Ningning!" Despite the humiliation, Xiao Chen showed no trace of anger, instead grinning obsequiously.
His lack of backbone only fueled Ji Ningxue’s fury. With so many people around... he was utterly humiliating her.
"Get out! Get out right now!"
At that moment, Jiang Che stepped forward. "Why make him leave? The guy’s clearly worn out from running around. Let him stay and grab a bite."
Jiang Che was undoubtedly the center of attention.
Zhou Kai paused, then quickly grasped Jiang Che’s intention—keeping Xiao Chen here meant more opportunities to humiliate him!
Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Che with gratitude. Who would’ve thought someone would actually speak up for him?
This favor... the 'Asura War God Dragon King' would remember it!
No one knew just how valuable a debt from Xiao Chen truly was.
"Thank you, young master. I haven’t had dinner yet, so I won’t stand on ceremony~~~"
With that, Xiao Chen plopped down right in front of everyone.
Even Jiang Che was stunned.
Seriously? You’re actually eating after being told to?
"Ningning, try this lobster—it’s perfectly tender..."
"And this abalone is great too. You should have some."
Xiao Chen ignored everyone else, happily stuffing his face.
Jiang Che narrowed his eyes. This Xiao Chen... was actually kind of interesting!
From the War God’s perspective, he had every right to look down on the world. With his near-legendary martial prowess and stacked buffs, his confidence was unshakable. He acted on whims, unfazed by others.
But from Jiang Che’s perspective? The guy was a total idiot!
"Heh, Sister Ji Ningxue, your husband has quite the appetite," Jiang Che remarked with a smirk, directly addressing her.
Ji Ningxue forced an awkward smile, her opinion of Xiao Chen sinking even lower.
This worthless man had completely ruined her dignity!
"Xiao Chen! Go home! Do you think a billionaire like me can’t afford to feed you??"
Xiao Chen flinched, but his face soon bloomed into a sunflower-bright grin.
"Hehe, don’t be mad, Ningning."
"Get lost!!"
"Right away~~~"
Xiao Chen scrambled up from his seat, but not before snagging a king crab claw on his way out.
Absolutely shameless.
Ji Ningxue exhaled sharply, her anger barely contained. By now, she was surely the laughingstock of her classmates. "Sorry you had to see that."
Even after Xiao Chen left, Zhou Kai kept needling her, using him to jab at Ji Ningxue whenever possible.
Since he couldn’t have Ji Ningxue, he’d make sure Xiao Chen suffered too!
Jiang Che smirked and pulled out a chair beside him. "Have a seat, CEO Ji."
Ji Ningxue hesitated but complied.
Though nearly a decade had passed, she still vaguely remembered this little brother from Gu Lingfei’s side.
Who would’ve thought that brat would grow up like this?
And she was genuinely curious about Jiang Che. Rumor had it he’d inherited his father’s trillion-dollar empire!
Even if she wasn’t in the pharmaceutical industry, as a citizen, how could she not know of Yuanche Pharmaceutical?
To put it bluntly, even the medicine you took for a cold was probably produced by his company!
"Pleasure to meet you, Lingfei’s little boyfriend!" Ji Ningxue extended her hand, a sly glint in her eyes.
She emphasized the word "little" heavily, clearly still under the impression that Jiang Che was just Gu Lingfei’s prop for the evening.
After all, Gu Lingfei and this young man looked at least seven or eight years apart.
Jiang Che shook her hand. "Since you’re Lingfei’s best friend, can I call you Sister Ningning?"
As he spoke, his fingertips brushed lightly against her palm, sending an electric tingle through her body.
Jiang Che’s gaze deepened. Ji Ningxue... was quite sensitive, wasn’t she?
"Ahem... of course." Ji Ningxue’s cheeks flushed as she withdrew her hand.
The fleeting moment didn’t escape Gu Lingfei’s notice. Instantly... her jealousy flared.
[This little rascal, is he really eyeing Ningning? She’s married, for heaven’s sake...]
Gu Lingfei’s head was spinning. She’d never imagined Jiang Che would go this far.
Though she often played the role of the big sister around him, if Jiang Che truly set his mind to something... she couldn’t—and wouldn’t—stop him.
After a brief internal struggle, she made a bold decision and stood up.
"Apologies, everyone. Something urgent came up at the company. I’ll have to leave early."
That’s right—Gu Lingfei was making her escape.
Knowing Jiang Che, this little devil had undoubtedly set his sights on Ji Ningxue. And once he locked onto a target... few could escape his clutches.
[Actually... it might be for the best if Xiao Chen takes Ningning. That waste of a man doesn’t deserve to be her husband anyway...]
Now that’s what you call a virtuous wife! She’d already rationalized an excuse for Jiang Che.
Gu Lingfei slung her purse over her shoulder and shot Jiang Che a pointed glare before leaving.
"Huh? President Gu’s leaving already?"
"Ah, well, she’s a busy woman."
A few tried to make snide remarks, their envy palpable, but one look at Jiang Che silenced them.
Zhou Kai was no fool—what did Gu Lingfei’s departure signify? Her leaving without a word was a silent endorsement of Jiang Che’s reckless behavior. With so many admirers flocking around Jiang Che, there was no way Gu Lingfei was unaware of it all.
Yet, she hadn’t shown a hint of anger before walking away. That kind of attitude spoke volumes.
Zhou Kai’s brain was practically overheating from overthinking, but in the end, he decided to take a gamble. If Young Master Jiang was pleased... well, his own future would skyrocket alongside.
Opportunities like this didn’t come often. Might as well go all in!
“Ahem,” he cleared his throat. “Seems like everyone’s just doing their own thing—kinda boring, don’t you think? How about we spice things up with a game? Truth or Dare?”
No more pretenses. He was laying his cards on the table. Zhou Kai was ready to insert himself as a key player in Jiang Che and Ji Ningxue’s little drama.
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
