Yu Wan'er: Oh no, I'm falling in love

In the CEO's office, Leng Ningqiu held onto Jiang Che's arm.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but affection, devoid of any other emotion.

The only one who might love Jiang Che more than Leng Ningqiu was Bai Jie—but that girl was a special exception, given her obsessive nature... Just thinking about it gave anyone a headache.

"Master, the company's financial report for the first half of the year is out. Total revenue reached 110 billion, with pharmaceutical sales accounting for over 90 billion and medical technology contributing more than 20 billion. R&D investments totaled 18 billion... about 15% of total income."

As she reported the earnings, Leng Ningqiu blinked her big, pretty eyes, almost as if she were seeking praise from Jiang Che.

Jiang Che chuckled softly, ruffled her hair, and pulled her into his embrace.

Leng Ningqiu's competence was undeniable. Since taking over Yuanche Pharmaceutical, she had not only stabilized the company internally but also boosted its revenue growth by several percentage points.

Compared to someone like Yu Wan'er—a little brat who only knew how to call people "trash fish" and annoy others—she was infinitely better.

"You've worked hard."

Jiang Che gently tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, her snow-white neck exuding a tantalizing fragrance.

Leng Ningqiu smiled sweetly and shook her head before burying herself in his arms.

"Ningqiu isn't tired. Ningqiu wants to eat..."

The next second, Jiang Che awkwardly covered her mouth.

Ahem—some things were better left unsaid!

...

Jiang Che had already won over three female CEOs by now: Gu Lingfei, Leng Ningqiu, and Ji Ningxue.

Though all were powerful businesswomen, their personalities differed significantly.

Outwardly cold and unapproachable, they were seen as untouchable ice queens by others—but their tender sides were reserved solely for Jiang Che.

Gu Lingfei was the quintessential big sister, fulfilling every fantasy for those with an older-woman kink, all while carrying a playful and slightly mischievous charm.

Leng Ningqiu, on the other hand, was the epitome of obedience—never throwing tantrums, making her the ideal wife in many people's eyes.

Ji Ningxue, with her demeanor and fashion sense, gave off an "auntie" vibe. Forget about 18-year-old lolis—nothing was more dangerous than a stunning thirty-year-old auntie who had already embraced her dark side. The ultimate choice for those with a milf fetish!

Jiang Che was a man of many affections—any beautiful woman could capture his heart.

......

The lights in the CEO's office remained on until dawn, only dimming with the first rays of sunlight.

By the afternoon, Jiang Che finally left Yuanche Pharmaceutical's headquarters, refreshed and relaxed.

He had already made plans with the little police flower, Wang Yanran.

His time management was so precise it could be called godlike—worthy of the title "Chronos of Ancient Greece."

It reminded Jiang Che of an anime he'd once watched, Date A Live, where the protagonist was similarly a master of scheduling.

"Yanran-jie, have you been waiting long?"

Jiang Che drove to Wang Yanran's doorstep, where she stood, already dressed and ready, waiting downstairs.

As a police officer, she wasn't like other girls who took hours to get ready for a date. With her natural beauty, a light touch of makeup—or even none at all—was enough to leave people breathless.

"I just came down. Didn't wait too long."

[Hmph, you little brat. I've been standing here for over an hour—my legs are sore!]

Jiang Che suppressed a smile, stepped out of the car, and opened the door for her.

It was clear Wang Yanran had put effort into her outfit today.

"Yanran-jie, where would you like to go?"

Wang Yanran narrowed her eyes, studying Jiang Che for a moment before leaning in slightly and sniffing.

Then she moved closer, her gaze tinged with disdain.

"Oh? Just came from another woman's place, didn't you?"

Jiang Che's lips twitched. "What? You can actually smell that?! That’s insane!"

"Of course. Don’t forget I’m a cop. You’ve got another woman’s perfume on you." Her eyes gleamed with danger.

"Ahem... Oh, so it’s just perfume you smelled? Then it’s fine."

Jiang Che coughed awkwardly. If Wang Yanran only meant he’d been with another woman earlier... well, he’d misunderstood!

He was guilty!

Wang Yanran frowned slightly, sensing something off about Jiang Che’s smile.

She counted on her fingers. "Jiang Che, I know you have other girls around you. My expectations aren’t high—just give me two days a month. That’s enough."

"No problem, absolutely no problem! Don’t worry, wifey!"

For a moment, Jiang Che actually felt a pang of guilt. A girl’s request being this humble—just two days a month?

Wang Yanran’s cheeks flushed. "Who... who’s your wifey? Don’t call me that!"

"Who else could it be but you?"

"Ha. So what about the other girls around you? Are they all 'wifey' too?"

A wave of jealousy hit him like a tidal wave.

In this regard, obedient system puppets like Leng Ningqiu and Dong'er were much more considerate—they never got jealous.

"Yanran-jie, you don’t get it. You’re my wifey. The others? They’re just... close friends."

Wang Yanran: "..."

Was Jiang Che even human? How could anyone be this shameless?!

She scoffed but didn’t press further.

She was a smart woman. A little jealousy was just a girl’s way of being playful—but pushing it too far would only breed resentment.

"I want to go to the amusement park. And tonight, I want you to grill me some barbecue."

"Deal."

......

Yu Wan'er was in a terrible mood.

Jiang Che hadn’t come to see her in almost a week.

Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao were doing fine—attending classes or going out shopping.

But Yu Wan'er was miserable, often spacing out by herself, staring blankly out the window.

At some point, she realized—she had truly fallen for Jiang Che. Maybe she’d loved that scoundrel of a playboy for a long time already.

But her tsundere nature would never let her admit it.

"Stinky playboy! Trash fish! Pervert! He’s definitely out there sweet-talking some other pretty girl!"

She swung her little fists, pounding a pillow—but she forgot Jiang Che had forcibly elevated her to the level of a martial artist.

Her inner energy was still unstable, and the pillow instantly exploded into scraps.

"Wahhh... you stupid pervert!"

Just as the little tsundere was venting, Ye Mengyao and Qin Qiaoqiao appeared!
