Liang Jiajia hooked her arm through Song Guanchao's, smiling, "You looked so handsome just now."

Even though she knew that in situations like that, the most sensible thing to do was to leave immediately and avoid conflict.

But no girl, when faced with such an upsetting situation, wouldn't wish for her boyfriend to stand up and protect her like a hero.

Song Guanchao grinned and pinched her butt, "How are you going to reward me tonight?"

Liang Jiajia blushed, "What reward do you want?"

Song Guanchao slid his hand down her big buttocks and gently caressed, Liang Jiajia's cheeks turned crimson instantly, "You scoundrel!"

Then she added, "Don't be too rough."

Song Guanchao quickly nodded, promising to be absolutely gentle.

As they left the restaurant, Liang Jiajia suddenly noticed someone else in the car.

It was a woman.

She looked inquisitively at Song Guanchao.

"I almost forgot to tell you."

"This is Jiang Yiren, Secretary Qu's assistant, who came with me for training."

Song Guanchao opened the car door, and Liang Jiajia got into the back, greeting her, "Hello."

"Hello." Jiang Yiren smiled back, secretly assessing.

This is Song Guanchao's girlfriend?

She's a little shorter than me, and her attire is quite simple, but the plain clothes actually highlight her stunning beauty. She has a rare kind of aura, full of vitality.

Song Guanchao turned on the navigation, searching for the Party School. Jiang Yiren said, "We can't stay at the Party School until tomorrow. I'll be staying in a hotel tonight."

"Where are you staying?"

Jiang Yiren asked in return, "Where are you staying?"

Song Guanchao frowned slightly, not wanting to get too close to her, but deliberately staying at different hotels would seem a bit contrived.

So, he searched for nearby hotels and drove straight to one.

He took out the suitcase and picked up his backpack.

The three of them walked into the hotel lobby, only to find out there's just one suite left.

Song Guanchao's mouth twitched; what a coincidence!

Liang Jiajia stood aside, smiling at him, making Song Guanchao feel a tingle on his scalp.

"I'll change to another hotel." Jiang Yiren volunteered.

"Why don't we all stay together?" Liang Jiajia suddenly suggested.

Song Guanchao stared at her with wide eyes, and Jiang Yiren seemed taken aback too.

"Stay together?"

"Yeah," Liang Jiajia said, "It's a suite anyway, two rooms. You take one, we'll take the other. It won't affect us."

"But if you're uncomfortable, it's fine."

"I…" Jiang Yiren's heart beat a little faster, hesitating but also somewhat tempted.

She cautiously glanced at Song Guanchao, nodding lightly, "I don't mind."

Song Guanchao helplessly glanced at Liang Jiajia.

Although it was a suite, three people staying together would definitely be inconvenient.

Liang Jiajia was naturally not quiet, and you'd surely hear at night.

He seriously suspected that Liang Jiajia did it on purpose.

But he had no chance to express any opinion on this matter.

"Let's go."

Song Guanchao picked up the room card and headed to the elevator.

After entering the room, Song Guanchao said, "You can wash up first."

"Okay." Jiang Yiren pulled her suitcase into one room, took out clean clothes, glanced at the two of them, and hurried into the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door closed, Liang Jiajia said, "She seems to like you."

Song Guanchao rolled his eyes, not bothering to explain.

Women's intuition in these matters is akin to Sherlock Holmes.

Fortunately, Song Guanchao had nothing to do with her, so he wasn't afraid of any probing.

Liang Jiajia was just purely curious and asked casually.

"What training are you attending tomorrow?"

"Youth Class."

"That's impressive!" Liang Jiajia was extremely surprised.

"It's okay." Song Guanchao feigned modesty.

"Hmph."

Liang Jiajia lightly nudged him, and Song Guanchao asked, "What about that Yan Han? What's his family's business?"

At the mention of him, Liang Jiajia's smile instantly vanished, "His parents are in business, and he's a deputy director at the public security bureau."

"So young and already a deputy director? Doesn't his family have any connections in the system?"

"There's one, but I'm not sure if it's true. I've just heard that he has an aunt who's the director of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission."

Song Guanchao was surprised, "Zhang Jie?"

Liang Jiajia nodded, "That's what I heard, but I haven't verified it."

"There's no smoke without fire. If there's this rumor, it's probably not far off."

Unexpectedly, this small deputy director of the bureau has such a significant background.

However, Song Guanchao was utterly unafraid.

Although he only had brief contact with Yan Han tonight, he could clearly feel that this guy was quite green.

If Yan Han indeed wanted to squabble with him, Song Guanchao could easily defeat him.

But unless necessary, he didn't want to escalate matters too much.

After all, a Provincial Development and Reform Commission Director wields considerable power.

And he's just a district head now; there's a big gap between them.

But if Yan Han insists on opposing him, Song Guanchao won't hold back.

"Did your dad say anything about when you should go back?" Song Guanchao asked.

"I was just about to tell you."

Liang Jiajia changed her position, curled her legs on the sofa, and looked at him, "I'm planning to stay in Jiangzhou."

"Stay?"

"Yes." Liang Jiajia nodded seriously, "Do you support me?"

This news was somewhat sudden.

Her staying in Jiangzhou would mean they'd have to have a long-distance relationship.

Long-distance relationships rarely end well.

But Song Guanchao didn't selfishly demand she stay in Lingjiang.

"If you want to stay, then stay."

Song Guanchao said, "I'll work hard to come to Lingjiang to see you."

Liang Jiajia beamed with joy, "Then you must work hard, I'll be waiting for you in Jiangzhou!"

She knew that Song Guanchao was sincere.

If he wanted to climb higher, the Provincial City of Jiangzhou was his next target.

However, no one knew how many years it would take him to get from Lingjiang to Jiangzhou.

The two fell into silence, lost in thought.

Squeak~

Jiang Yiren came out after her shower.

"I'm done washing up," she said softly, glanced at Song Guanchao, and went into her room, closing the door.

"Let's go, it's time for a shower,"

Song Guanchao said with a smile.

"Okay."

Liang Jiajia didn't worry much about it; when the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current. Future matters can be dealt with later; there's no point in overthinking it now.

In her room, Jiang Yiren lay in bed, wide awake.

Tonight she'd seen Song Guanchao's girlfriend.

A woman whose body and looks were in no way inferior to her own.

The appearance of this woman made her lose interest in the upcoming training.

She suddenly thought of something: Did his girlfriend know about Wu Yun's relationship with him?

She was curious; didn't Song Guanchao feel guilty about flirting with other women behind Liang Jiajia's back?

"Ah!"

A provocative moan suddenly came from the next room.

Even with a wall between them, the sound was quite distinct.

Holding her breath, she tilted her head to listen, her ear against the wall.

The sounds became clearer.

"Ah, take it easy..."

"Oh, it's so deep, ah~"
