Let you be a great man, not a scumbag

She actually wanted to go over there too.

She wanted to say a few words to Jiang Cheng, to let him know that she could also be coquettish, and that she could be clingy like this.

But after his foot moved slightly, it stopped again.

I was afraid that if I went there, I would seem immature, or like I was deliberately being jealous.

The two young women standing next to Jiang Cheng now are dressed like flight attendants, and their status is similar to his. They are obviously young women with no special background.

Are they younger than her? Not necessarily.

Is she prettier than her? Of course not.

No, I can't just lose like this.

Even if I were to shake myself along with them and let Jiang Cheng see, it would still be as good as being left out here.

However, those few seconds of inner turmoil clearly caused her to miss the opportunity.

Jiang Cheng didn't care at all about guessing what the three women were thinking.

My whole mind was focused on this card that suggested a strategic retreat.

At this point, money is still very important to Jiang Cheng.

However, this kind of challenging task is more tempting to him.

Jiang Cheng, with his arms around Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan, was about to walk towards the master bedroom.

As soon as I took a step out, I caught a glimpse of a golden figure by the French windows.

Chloe was still standing there.

With her back to the night view outside the window, warm yellow lights shone from behind her, casting a soft halo around her.

She looked at him, her blue-gray eyes holding something indescribable.

Is it hesitation, anticipation, or something else?

Jiang Cheng paused in his steps.

Then he released his arms from the two women and walked toward Chloe.

"What's wrong?" he asked in English, his tone gentle.

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and gently brushed aside the strands of hair that had been ruffled by the night wind.

She spoke gently, "You must have been tired on the plane. Go and rest for a bit, and choose a room you like. We're going to a bar later, so make sure you're well-rested. I'll take good care of you when we get back tonight..."

If Chloe had said this normally, she would have laughed and joked.

At that moment, she felt a little confused. Jiang Cheng's eyes were gentle and his tone was considerate, sounding like he was genuinely concerned about her.

but……

But why did you let her go to rest, but instead brought those two girls into the room?

Her heart skipped a beat.

That's not right.

On the plane, she clearly told Jiang Cheng that she agreed to "play together".

Why isn't Jiang Cheng taking her with him now?

Did she misunderstand?

Or...did she do something wrong?

Chloe's smile remained unchanged, but the light in her eyes dimmed for a moment.

She opened her mouth: "I..."

"Hmm?" Jiang Cheng tilted his head slightly. "Good girl, go and rest first..."

Seeing that Jiang Cheng was asking her again, it seemed he had no intention of including her in the group.

Chloe swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

The main issue was that she wasn't quite sure what Jiang Cheng meant.

Although she agreed to play, Jiang Cheng clearly didn't want to now and only wanted to be with the two of them.

Jiang Cheng might be unhappy if she forces herself to join.

She could only manage a smile and try to make her voice sound normal. "Then I'll go pick a room first."

"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded, then gently kissed her forehead. "Get some rest."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back to Chen Jiaxue and Zhao Yihan, embracing them again from both sides.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked toward the master bedroom, chatting and laughing.

"We still have two hours before we go to the bar, let me help you guys relax first?"

"Great, Young Master Jiang, you have no idea how nervous I've been without you these past few days..."

"Jiaxue, is your nervousness psychological or physical...?"

"I won't tell you..."

"Hey, it's no use hiding it from me. I'll find out as soon as we're on the road..."

"Tch, what do you know? You weren't the one driving...right, Young Master Jiang..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng touched Chen Jiaxue's face and tentatively asked, "Isn't it a bit boring to drive the same route every time?"

"Huh? Really? You're bored?" Chen Jiaxue replied.

Zhao Yihan blushed and replied, "I don't think so either. As long as I can ride in your car, how could I be bored..."

Soon, the three of them arrived at the door of the master bedroom.

Jiang Cheng pushed open the door and stepped aside to let the two women go in first.

Before going inside, Chen Jiaxue glanced back at Chloe.

That glance was so short that it was almost negligible.

But Chloe saw it.

There was the smugness of a victor in those eyes.

The door to the master bedroom was ajar and closed in front of her.

Chloe stood still, motionless.

Behind her were the lights of Taikoo Li, and the warm yellow light shone from behind, casting a soft halo on her golden hair.

If someone were looking at her right now, they would probably think the scene was as beautiful as a painting.

But no one was looking at her at that moment.

All that remained was the night view of Taikoo Li outside the window and Chloe's breathing.

She walked to the sofa and slowly sat down.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened around the hem of her skirt.

At that moment, she was filled with regret.

When Jiang Cheng came over and asked her what was wrong, she should have said, "I want to be with you too."

She should be like those two girls, actively pursuing him, acting cute, being unreasonable, and using every means to keep him.

But she didn't.

She suddenly remembered the conversation on the plane.

Could it be that when Jiang Cheng said "let's play together," he didn't mean playing this?

She initially thought he meant all four of them together.

She even prepared herself mentally for this.

Sharing a man with two Chinese girls.

But now....

Therefore, when Jiang Cheng said "let's play together," he probably just meant literally going to a bar together.

It was she who thought too much.

She herself... misunderstood.

But why did she not feel relaxed at all, and even feel a little lost for no apparent reason?
