Chapter 339: Return to Xiangjiang

Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi

Lin Lin stuffed boxes of pudding into the kitchen fridge before walking back to the room. The expression on her face seemed to suggest that she still hasn't completely forgiven Jiang Chen for his action. When she came in, she didn't say anything as she just pushed Jiang Chen out of the room with her two slim arms and shut the door.

Jiang Chen stared at the closed shut door, knowing he was in the wrong. However, all he did was awkwardly scratch his nose as he didn't know what to say to apologize.

Jiang Chen admitted that despite not processing his action through his head, the act he committed was over the line for a girl. But he didn't expect her to react so dramatically.

After deliberating for a while, Jiang Chen let out a sigh and gave up on the idea of explaining himself. Instead, he walked to his own bedroom.

Worst case he would just have to bring her a few more boxes of pudding next time… Mango flavored.

Jiang Chen lied on his bed and muttered to himself before he closed his eyes and commenced interdimensional travel.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in the modern world.

He raised his hand and pressed the grain-sized crystal on the bracelet as the dark green light immediately dimmed down. He threw the bracelet into the storage dimension, and then checked his phone for the time.

It was getting late, already midnight.

He rubbed his weary eyes, dragged up the sheets, and slept till morning.

…

The next morning, Jiang Chen checked out from the hotel before arriving at the close by airport, empty-handed. He boarded a plane from Melbourne to Xiangjiang.

The ticket was book three days ago.

Because there was still the bidding on the construction site and the loan to take care of, Jiang Chen had to head to Xiangjiang before returning to Xin. It was already April, and the contract with Dalmer corporation was almost up. Although the ”smart driving system” was completed by Yao Yao in two hours, to avoid any commotion, Jiang Chen hasn't given the USB and the chip to Carmen Rothschild. On this trip to Xiangjiang, Jiang Chen planned to provide Carmen with the program.

One billion in two hours, needless to say, Yao Yao was the biggest ”goldmine” of the wasteland.

After hours of flying, with the flight attendant's gentle announcement, Jiang Chen woke up from his nap and got off the plane.

At the gate of the airport, Jiang Chen saw the stunning figure from a distance.

It was Xia Shiyu.

Before he returned to Xiangjiang, Jiang Chen had sent a message to Xia Shiyu, asking her to pick him up if convenient.

With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen walked directly towards her.

”You are finally back.”

Although her face was rather expressionless, Jiang Chen could still read the sense of blame within her eyes. He had known her affection from the start and thus obviously understood the meaning behind her words. However, just like before, he only laughed and avoided the question.

”I haven't seen you in two months… You have lost weight.”

Xia Shiyu rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, didn't respond, and instead opened the Maybach door.

The car was previously Jiang Chen's ride, but he left the key to Ayesha who was protecting Xia Shiyu at the time in Xiangjiang before he left the country. After she had confirmed that Xia Shiyu was safe, Ayesha left the car key to Xia Shiyu according to Jiang Chen's instructions. Now, the car became Xia Shiyu's mode of transportation.

In the passenger seat, Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu who was combing her hair to the side as she started the car.

”Do you like it?” Jiang Chen asked abruptly.

Xia Shiyu's eyes instantly turned red. She stepped on the gas as the car dashed forward along the barrier. The series of actions almost scared Jiang Chen to death.

”What, what are you even saying?” She hastily gained control of her steering, but the red hue climbed from the bottom of her neck to the tip of her ears. Xia Shiyu's voice was also listless, and her tone was even off.

”Ahem, I… I am asking if you like the car.”

Her pumping chest began to return to normal. The calmed Xia Shiyu turned her head and gave Jiang Chen a dirty look before she returned to her expressionless state.

It seemed like… She was angry?

”Uh, I am serious. If you like it, I'll give it to you as a gift,” Jiang Chen said in a tiny voice.

”No need, I can afford it myself.” Xia Shiyu clenched her teeth as it made a crisp sound.

She didn't know why she was so angry. But there was one thing she was certain about and that was this guy definitely was not as courteous as she had thought. No, he was a pervert!

As to how she knew about this, she learned that by living with Ayesha. Because of her delicate figure, although her face looked young, she had always thought Ayesha was over 18. Until one time they talked about age, and she finally knew Ayesha's real age.

But that was not the point. When she asked that if Jiang Chen had done anything to her. Ayesha looked at her innocently and said in a casual voice: We had sex.

Had sex?

Xia Shiyu didn't manage to react at first, but then it hit her like lightning.

She just remembered that she was completely stunned.
