"Where... where do you want to go for our date?"
Ji Ningxue clasped her hands behind her back, her entire demeanor radiating nervousness.
"Ningxue-jie, while you were in the meeting earlier, I already prepared a detailed itinerary. We can start by..."
Jiang Che launched into an enthusiastic explanation, as if he had spent ages planning this.
But honestly... weren’t dates just the same few places anyway?
Amusement parks, movie theaters, shopping malls...
As for more thrilling activities, Jiang Che had tried those too—like taking Yu Wan'er and Ye Mengyao horseback riding at a private equestrian club, or skiing and skydiving.
But those required serious "technical skills." One wrong move, and it could mean the end of him—literally.
Right now, his relationship with Ji Ningxue clearly hadn’t progressed to that level yet.
Seeing Jiang Che like this, Ji Ningxue’s long-dormant heart wavered once more.
Jiang Che... really seemed to like her. And his affection was completely different from Xiao Chen’s!
Being liked by Jiang Che... didn’t bother her at all. But Xiao Chen hovering around her all the time? It was like being followed by a disgusting lapdog.
"Fine. This is my first date, so... I’ll leave it up to you."
...
Jiang Che was driving Ji Ningxue’s car—a pricey Bentley.
As the Bentley pulled out of the company, Xiao Chen, who had been waiting in the pavilion for Ji Ningxue to finish work, immediately sprang to his feet.
"Ningxue’s off work?"
"Ningxue! Ningxue, I’m over here!" Xiao Chen waved excitedly, his face alight with anticipation.
"Ningxue-jie, should we stop?"
From the passenger seat, Ji Ningxue panicked the moment she saw Xiao Chen. After all, she was sneaking off on a date with another man behind his back—and now he’d caught her red-handed. Of course she’d feel guilty!
"Don’t mind him. Just keep going!"
"Got it~" Jiang Che floored the accelerator without hesitation.
As the Bentley sped away, Xiao Chen’s expression twisted in distress.
"Ningxue... Ningxue, it’s me..."
Xiao Chen, a half-step Grandmaster-level martial artist, kicked his legs into overdrive, hitting a staggering 70 mph—enough to make Usain Bolt weep!
But alas, Jiang Che had already slammed the gas pedal to the floor, leaving Xiao Chen choking on exhaust fumes.
"No—!" Xiao Chen watched helplessly as the car disappeared into the distance, his heart in turmoil. Just now, using his heightened perception, he’d vaguely sensed... another man in the car with Ji Ningxue.
If Ji Ningxue had simply ignored him, he wouldn’t have lost his mind like this.
But another man in the picture? That sent him spiraling into full-blown crisis mode.
"Haah... Ningxue must be going out for a business meeting. It’s normal for there to be a man in the car. I must be overthinking it."
Xiao Chen tried to soothe himself with delusions.
But the unease lingered, leaving him restless and agitated.
...
"Heh, Ningxue-jie, your husband’s pretty fast, huh? Must work out a lot..."
Ji Ningxue stiffened in the passenger seat, instantly picking up on Jiang Che’s mocking tone.
[That useless Xiao Chen, why’d he have to run so fast? He’s embarrassing me!]
Tsk tsk tsk. Seems the CEO lady really can’t stand her husband.
"Ningxue-jie, how about a kiss first?" Jiang Che licked his lips suggestively.
"Ugh, you little pervert! I only agreed to go out with you—I’m still going home tonight!" Ji Ningxue crossed her arms, her tone dripping with haughty defiance.
"Huh? Ningxue-jie, what are you talking about? I just asked for a little peck... and now you’re trying to drag me home with you?" Jiang Che shot her a wary look.
"Figures. Older women are always so desperate—especially nearing-thirty virgins!"
Ji Ningxue: "......"
She genuinely couldn’t hold back this time. Desperate?!
"Say that again??? Who’s nearing thirty? Who’s a virgin???"
If looks could kill, Jiang Che would’ve been vaporized on the spot.
So much for the sweet, considerate little brother act. Jiang Che’s true rogue nature was starting to show.
"Wasn’t it you who said you’d take me home tonight~?"
Ji Ningxue gave up on responding, turning to glare out the window in silent frustration.
But soon, a figure outside made her gasp in shock.
"Huh??? How is he still catching up?!"
Jiang Che glanced at the rearview mirror, his eye twitching violently.
Xiao Chen was still chasing them—but now on a shared bike?!
Jiang Che fell silent, checking the speedometer.
120 mph.
This was absurd. Pedaling a shared bike at 120 mph? That was talent worthy of a Guinness World Record.
The bike’s wheels were practically sparking from friction.
"What do we do? Can we lose him?"
Ji Ningxue frowned.
"Of course we can. Watch this, Ningxue-jie."
With that, Jiang Che pulled out his phone and dialed the police.
"Hello, 911? I’m on the highway near Hangcheng’s outskirts. There’s a guy on a shared bike speeding like crazy..."
Police: "???"
Highway? Shared bike? Speeding? Those words together short-circuited their brains.
After hanging up, Jiang Che hummed a tune. Before long, several police cars appeared behind them, intercepting Xiao Chen mid-chase.
Sure, people biking on highways wasn’t unheard of—but someone speeding on a shared bike? That was a first!
"Alright, Ningxue-jie, no more distractions. Tonight, we can enjoy our little getaway to the fullest. And you... can use me however you want~"
Ji Ningxue’s face flushed crimson. "Who—who’s having a getaway with you, you little rascal!"
Jiang Che decided to drop the act. Playing the sweet, attentive younger brother was exhausting—it took years of practice to pull off convincingly.
Being a shameless flirt suited him much better.
"Well, what now? We’re already in another city... guess we’ll have to stay at a hotel tonight." He shrugged, feigning innocence.
See? A true hunter always controlled the game.
Ji Ningxue narrowed her eyes, studying Jiang Che carefully.
She did have feelings for him, but she was still a married woman. Actually crossing the line was out of the question—a kiss was already pushing her limits!
She was stubborn like that. Once she set a boundary, she never broke it.

So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too.
