Chen Jie said nothing, and directly closed the door.
"Hmph, no romance!"
Tang Ruotong stomped her feet indignantly and had to drive away.
Chen Jie went to the bathroom in the yard. Just as he was about to leave, the doorbell rang again.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Chen Jie opened the door and was stunned.
Jiang Xue exclaimed in surprise, "You want me to leave without even seeing me?"
"It's you?"
"If it's not me, who else could it be?"
Jiang Xue walked in unhappily, actually a little nervous.
Having not seen Chen Jie for so long, she suddenly felt a bit flustered.
"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit down?" Jiang Xue said.
Chen Jie was also a little taken aback and quickly said, "Let's talk upstairs."
The two went upstairs to the living room and saw Mother He, who had just mopped the floor again.
"A woman?" Jiang Xue's heart filled with anger.
Chen Jie was keeping a woman hidden?
"Another woman?"
Mother He was also stunned when she saw Jiang Xue.
Then she sighed deeply.
She thought to herself that for someone like Chen Jie, having several women was quite common.
One during the day, one at night.
She didn't know when it would be her daughter's turn.
"Chen Jie, you're back," Mother He greeted him.
Hearing her voice, Jiang Xue's mood eased a little, thinking she was just a servant.
"Mm, go rest," Chen Jie didn't explain.
He didn't need to.
The two went upstairs and closed the entrance door on the second floor. Jiang Xue's body finally relaxed.
"I heard you were back, so I tried to find you, and I didn't expect you to actually be back!"
Jiang Xue sneered, "What? You're so busy, you haven't been back for so long, haven't you even visited my house?"
"My dad wanted to treat you as my elder brother, and you haven't even visited."
Chen Jie didn't do that not because he forgot Jiang Xue, but because after what happened between them last time, they hadn't been in contact since.
He didn't know how to face Jiang Xue.
"I was just about to visit your house tomorrow!" Chen Jie explained.
"Heh, stop explaining. Explaining is covering up, and covering up is the beginning of mistakes! You've completely forgotten about my family!"
Jiang Xue said angrily.
Chen Jie was also displeased with her attitude, "Then assume I've forgotten about you."
"You..."
Jiang Xue seemed to think of something, "What was going on just now? Were you meeting a woman? Why did you say I shouldn't leave?"
"Yes, I went out for dinner with Tang Ruotong, and she drove me back," Chen Jie said.
"What? You admit it so readily? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Wang Xiaoyan?"
Jiang Xue said incredulously.
"Whatever," Chen Jie said indifferently.
"Heh, you even hired such a beautiful nanny at home. Chen Jie, you're getting more and more out of line. I must say, your taste is really heavy!" Jiang Xue said sourly.
Chen Jie frowned.
She actually misunderstood him and Mother He.
He immediately became impolite, "Are you looking for me this late just for this? If there's nothing else, you can leave."
After speaking, Chen Jie turned and went back to his room.
"Of course, I'm not just here for this! I promised Wang Xiaoyan that I'd keep an eye on you! And, what's going on?"
Jiang Xue sniffed.
Then her pretty face changed slightly, "A woman's scent?"
Chen Jie ignored her.
"You scoundrel, you're hiding a woman! Let me see where you've hidden her!"
Jiang Xue bent down and searched around.
Her rear was facing Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said impolitely, "Jiang Xue, remember what kind of place this is!"
"What? Don't I have the right to manage you? Hit me? You scoundrel, you haven't come to see me for so long! Are you even a man?"
She was a little disappointed that she didn't find anything.
"It's getting late, you should go back first. Otherwise, Uncle Jiang will worry," Chen Jie said.
"You're trying to kick me out now? I'm not leaving!"
Jiang Xue simply went straight to Chen Jie's bed and lay down.
At this moment, Jiang Xue's phone rang.
Chen Jie glanced at it and said to Jiang Xue, "It's your dad calling."
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, showing no intention of answering.
Chen Jie picked it up helplessly.
Jiang Long was very happy to learn that Chen Jie had returned. Chen Jie told Jiang Long that Jiang Xue was with him discussing company matters and said he would send Jiang Xue back soon.
Jiang Long told Chen Jie not to rush.
"Chen Jie, how long are you planning to stay in Pingcheng this time?"
Jiang Long asked casually.
Chen Jie said, "There's a lot of business in the provincial capital, so I'll be leaving in the next couple of days."
"Oh, how about this, come over to my place tomorrow and we'll have a few drinks."
"Okay, Uncle Jiang, I would have come even if you hadn't said so."
"Alright, that's settled then."
The two hung up. Chen Jie nudged Jiang Xue and said, "Your dad already knows you're here, I'll take you back."
"Heh, I'm not leaving. I'm staying here today. I'll let everyone know you're a scumbag!"
Jiang Xue sneered.
"Don't you care about your reputation?" Chen Jie said helplessly.
"I don't care!"
"Leave now, or I won't be polite to you!" Chen Jie said.
"I'd like to see how you're not going to be polite to me!" Jiang Xue said dismissively.
"I'm saying this one last time, are you leaving or not?" Chen Jie's expression turned unpleasant.
"Hit me? I won't leave even if you beat me to death today!" Jiang Xue said angrily.
"You brought this upon yourself!"
Chen Jie made a gesture as if to slap Jiang Xue, although he didn't intend to hit her hard.
But Jiang Xue leaned onto the bed.
This left Chen Jie with no way to proceed. In his anger, he directly slapped her on the backside.
With a cry, Jiang Xue sprang up as if startled.
Her face was flushed red.
Chen Jie was stunned, "Where's your protective artifact?"
According to Chen Jie's expectation, Jiang Xue should have been wearing a protective artifact, and his slap shouldn't have landed.
"I took it off," Jiang Xue said, blushing.
"Let's go."
"No!"
"What exactly do you want to do?" Chen Jie asked unhappily.
Suddenly, Jiang Xue pounced on Chen Jie and initiated a kiss.
"I want to let everyone know that you're a scoundrel!"
Chen Jie was a normal man. Reaching this point, how could he withstand such a temptation?
Coupled with Tang Ruotong's subtle hints today, Chen Jie completely lost control.
...
"Scumbag, scoundrel! You're not allowed to tell anyone else!" In the morning, Jiang Xue, her face flushed, hit Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said in surprise, "Didn't you want to let everyone know I'm a scoundrel?"
"I, it's enough for me to know!"
Jiang Xue buried her head in Chen Jie's chest.
Chen Jie sighed inwardly.
Now that Jiang Xue had stayed out all night, Uncle Jiang must know.
But Chen Jie had said he would visit today, so he had to face it.
"Let's go, we'll go visit your place."
"It's over, my dad must know everything," Jiang Xue said, her face turning pale.
"Forget it, let him know if he knows," Jiang Xue's face hardened.
She moved away from Chen Jie again, looking at him with deep resentment.
