I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2204 - 1408: Cough, Cough

Human sorrows do not resonate with each other.

While Zhong Tingwang felt seconds like years and Little Brother Xiao heart was burning with impatience, Boss Jiang was enjoying a world for two.

Even if it’s just drinking tea.

"Three glasses of wine in the vast red dust, a pot of tea for a great enterprise."

"Starshine is probably one of the few companies in Haojiang that hasn’t established a partnership with Zhong Xiaoye."

Stop overthinking.

Who says when a man and woman are together, it’s inevitably unsuitable for children? Neither Boss Jiang nor Miss He Si is that shallow.

Since Boss Jiang chose tea over wine earlier.

Tea is surely more suitable for discussing business.

Starshine is Boss Jiang’s enterprise in Haojiang, managed by Bai Haoran. Currently, it has two casino hotels, excluding projects co-operated with the He Family.

"That’s why Zhong Xiaoye is eager to meet you."

"Didn’t I just meet him?"

He Yihui couldn’t help but smile lightly, "It would’ve been better not to."

Jiang Chen was displeased, "Why does your comment make me sound like the plague?"

"Isn’t it true?"

Facing him, Miss He Si objectively said, "He’s never had any trouble until he met you and got taken away..."

"Is it my fault?"

Jiang Chen laughed, "Who asked him to bully the ladies?"

Double entendre indeed.

He Yihui held her teacup in both hands, "Who are the ladies?"

"Hu Die, of course."

Jiang Chen responded confidently without hesitation, naturally.

Actually, being an actor isn’t a particularly technical profession.

Almost anyone successful in any field could do it.

"Is she yours?"

"No."

Jiang Chen shook his head, sipping tea while briefly summarizing, "A friend asked me to look after her."

"..."

This sounds a bit weird.

Women aren’t pets.

Can they be entrusted for care?

It’s like saying, "Your wife and children I’ll take care of, have no worry."

Miss He Si naturally well-read, must know history, likely understands Wei Wu’s manner.

"Such a powerful woman shouldn’t need anyone to care for her."

Uncertain if it’s an illusion, but she emphasized "care" particularly strongly.

Jiang Chen sighed.

"It’s a long story."

Not brushing it off.

If traced to its origins, it can’t be explained in a short time, perhaps not even tonight.

"Have you been to Kyoto before?"

Jiang Chen shifted topics. His reason for visiting tonight was simple, purely to see her, since they encountered each other at the hall plaza, it wouldn’t make sense to avoid her.

As for the matter with Zhong Xiaoye, it’s purely coincidental.

Though unclear how it will end, the current situation already illustrates a time-worn truth.

Hold for a moment and things calm down, take a step back and you achieve greater breadth.

When out, don’t get too heated, it’s not just one side, it’s the same for both.

Mutual understanding leads to peace.

"I’ve been here."

"But this time feels different, right?"

He Yihui responded with a light "Mm."

Of course, she’s been to the capital, once as an ordinary person, mingling in the crowd, watching the flag-raising ceremony at dawn.

This time entering Beijing, her status is entirely different.

However, sensing a city often doesn’t rely on one’s status, but on the city’s people.

There’s a saying.

If a city has no one to miss, no matter how large or heavy, it won’t be special compared to others.

"What are you thinking?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

Holding her teacup and seemingly lost in thought, Miss He Si slowly lifted her eyes, looked at him, and lightly smiled.

"Thinking about you."

"..."

Boss Jiang’s expression froze abruptly.

What happened?

The chat was going well, why’s it drifting into romance?

Isn’t the narrative getting off track?

There should at least be some build-up.

However, the environment and education she grew up in are different from most, not shy or awkward. Her "I miss you" is like a common girl’s "I’m happy or I’m unhappy," merely expressing her feelings.

He Yihui’s mixed heritage leading to spontaneous lines is not surprising, but Boss Jiang is different.

From the onset, Boss Jiang lived inland, before school he hadn’t ventured out of province, educated traditionally with Confucian teachings, unprepared for such straightforwardness.

He was momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

No matter Jiang Chen’s uncertainty, she’s helping him.

"Do you miss me?"

"..."

...!

The troubled Boss Jiang felt drinking wine might be better, at least alcohol can help one play dumb.

Tea doesn’t, tea’s too sobering, offering no space to feign ignorance.

The air grew quiet.

Only the misty heat mingled with tea fragrance.

Heroic spirit is rare, but the debt to beauty is so hard to bear.

That kiss by Black Sand Beach, to Jiang Chen felt like just a ripple in the tide of memory, but she seemingly never forgot.

"What do you think?"

Calming down, Jiang Chen didn’t evade, facing Li Shuru courageously, why falter now?

"I think you miss me; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to see me."

What she said... isn’t exactly wrong.

Miss He Si indeed never disturbed him, like initially watching that miraculous bridge at Black Sand Beach from afar, soundlessly.

Jiang Chen sipped his tea, intending to speak, but a sudden ringtone interrupted him.

He Yihui took out the phone from her nearby bag.

"Second Sister."
