"Jiang Che, this youth-preserving elixir is too precious. How could you give it to me?" Ji Ningxue felt deeply conflicted. She could never repay Jiang Che's kindness in this lifetime, yet her heart secretly swelled with joy!
Did she really hold such a high place in Jiang Che's heart?
"Ningxue-jie, I knew you'd say that. If I had told you beforehand, would you have drunk it?"
"Relax, because it's you, it's worth it!" Jiang Che took Ji Ningxue's hand in his.
"You're... wasting it on me," Ji Ningxue grumbled, though the smile at the corners of her eyes betrayed her true feelings!
Jiang Che loved her—and more importantly, she had regained her confidence after rejuvenating!
Her biggest regret since meeting Jiang Che had been her age. She was eight years older than him, practically an "auntie" by now.
It was the classic tragedy of "I was born too soon, and you too late." That was why she had only dared to flirt with Jiang Che, never taking the final step.
But now, everything was different!
She was young again. The younger Ji Ningxue hadn’t understood why people said "youth is a woman’s greatest asset," dismissing it as objectification.
But now she realized—she had been too naive back then!
"Xiao Che, why are you so good to me? Even if I divorce and end up with you... I could never repay this debt." Ji Ningxue covered her flushed face.
"Hmm~ Ningxue-jie, remember what you once said? That we have a pure, innocent relationship, right?"
Ji Ningxue burned with even greater shame at his words. Pure and innocent? More like it was about to get very, very impure!
"A pure relationship leading to five kids? Ningxue-jie, just give me a whole basketball team, and we’ll call it even."
Ji Ningxue buried her face deeper, her ears turning crimson like a boiled shrimp.
[Five kids? Is he treating me like a breeding sow? So embarrassing!]
[Let me calculate... one kid every two years, about ten years total? Maybe even twins—doesn’t sound too hard~]
Jiang Che was joking, but Ji Ningxue took it seriously!
She was genuinely considering the feasibility of five children!
"Huh? Ningxue-jie, are you actually planning to give me five kids?" Jiang Che feigned shock.
"Two weeks ago, you swore we were 'pure and innocent, with nothing to hide'..."
Ji Ningxue’s gaze flickered, as if she had made up her mind.
"Pure and innocent? Not for long!"
"Nothing to hide? Well, I have plenty to hide!"
Her inner CEO flared up as she pinned Jiang Che against the wall in a reverse "kabedon," her expression deadly serious—yet tinged with guilt.
She... was about to go completely wild!
Jiang Che instantly slipped into character, playing the role of a helpless little lamb awaiting slaughter.
A true wolf in sheep’s clothing.
"Ningxue-jie, but this... this is your office..."
......
"Achoo!"
Xiao Chen, already aboard an international flight, suddenly sneezed, his heart instantly gripped by panic.
"Dammit, what’s happening? Why do I feel so uneasy?"
At the same time, his Indestructible Golden Body activated on its own. His head instantly turned green, a radiant emerald glow pulsating as if sounding an alarm.
"Ningxue! It’s Ningxue! She’s in danger—my Ningxue!"
An overwhelming premonition seized him. Something had to be wrong with Ji Ningxue—he had never felt such dread before.
"Stop the plane! I need to see the captain—turn back immediately!"
The moment he spoke, he became the target of everyone’s scorn.
Dozens of eyes in the cabin turned toward him, looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"Are you fucking stupid? The plane’s thousands of meters in the air—this isn’t a taxi you can just U-turn!"
"Unbelievable. What kind of moron does this?"
Ignoring the ridicule, Xiao Chen’s mind was consumed by one thought: he had to return to the Ji family and ensure Ji Ningxue’s safety.
Fortunately, after a brief panic, he regained his composure.
Unless he revealed his identity as the Dragon King of War, forcing the plane to turn back was impossible.
His only options now were to contact his subordinates or call Ji Ningxue directly.
Xiao Chen immediately dialed Ji Ningxue’s number. (Why did his phone work mid-flight? Because the Dragon King’s signal transcends mortal limitations!)
"Ring—ring—"
Two minutes passed with no answer. Just as despair began to set in, the call connected.
"What? Xiao Chen, are you insane? Calling me at this hour? Just drop dead already!"
"And let me make this clear—I’m divorcing you, whether you sign or not. I’ll file the papers tomorrow."
"I was going to settle for 20 million, but now you get nothing! You’re blocked. Never call me again. Click—"
Before Xiao Chen could utter a word, Ji Ningxue launched into a furious tirade against him.
It was clear that Ji Ningxue was genuinely enraged.
Given her usual temperament, even after a breakup, she wouldn’t resort to harsh words—unless she truly couldn’t hold back. And right now, she was absolutely livid.
"Ningxue, Ningxue... I..."
Xiao Chen, crestfallen, set down his phone and tentatively sent a text, only to be met with a red exclamation mark—blocked.
Though his heart ached, Xiao Chen had a remarkable talent for self-delusion, mastering the art of the "spiritual victory" à la Ah Q.
"If she’s yelling at me, at least it means she’s safe. That’s what matters~"
"And the fact that she’s willing to scold me? Well, insults are just another form of affection. Why me and not someone else? Heh, as long as I can make Ningxue happy again~"
With that thought, the corners of his lips curled upward unconsciously, and the confidence of the Dragon King returned in full force.
"But what was Ningxue doing earlier? She sounded a bit out of breath... Maybe she was running?"
"Such a disciplined girl, still working out in the evening. No wonder she keeps her figure so perfect."
"Once I come clean to her, I’ll definitely take her under my wing and teach her my Indestructible Golden Body technique. The woman of the Dragon King, Xiao Chen, must never be inferior to anyone!"
The Indestructible Golden Body was his most powerful cheat ability, cultivable up to the ninth level. Even now, as a half-step Grandmaster, he had only barely touched the threshold of the fourth layer.
In his current state, he could tank a direct hit from a rocket launcher without flinching.
What Xiao Chen couldn’t possibly fathom was that while he was lost in fantasies of a future with Ji Ningxue, his beloved... had already completely and utterly become someone else’s.
As the old saying goes: The girl you can’t let go of? Someone else has already put in.
