He was stunned for quite a while before Li Changtian suddenly bellowed, "Bastard, who are you? How dare you hit my people! Do you have a death wish? Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are."

Jiang Chen shook his head with a slight smile, "But this is the Gong Family's place, did you think about the consequences before you made a move here?"

"You... but you're not from the Gong Family!"

Li Changtian's face changed color as he became furious and actually raised his hand to hit Jiang Chen.

Ah, he was really asking for it! Jiang Chen curled his lips and kicked out.

Bang!

Like his bodyguard, Li Changtian flew straight out of the villa's gate.

Gong Yue and Butler Fu were both stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Chen.

This guy? He's that fierce?

"What happened?" Just then, a puzzled voice sounded, and Gong Lin walked in through the doorway.

Gong Lin was a bit dazed seeing two people flying out of the room one after another.

Seeing Gong Lin return, Jiang Chen immediately smiled, "You're back. That guy just now started trouble here, so I had to kick him out."

"Oh." Gong Lin nodded noncommittally and didn't ask any further, finding trouble with Jiang Chen was the same as finding trouble with her.

It was then that Gong Yue sensed something was off and looked at Gong Lin in surprise, "Sis, you know this bodyguard?"

Gong Lin paused for a moment, "Bodyguard?"

Bodyguard? Jiang Chen was also taken aback.

Soon after, Jiang Chen realized that they had been mistaking him for a bodyguard, which explained why Gong Yue's remarks had felt so baffling to him.

"What's wrong? Isn't he Jincheng, the bodyguard hired for me by the family?" Gong Yue frowned and glowered at Jiang Chen; she still bore a grudge for Jiang Chen hitting her bottom!

Jiang Chen, recalling the earlier incident, smiled awkwardly. It was all a misunderstanding!

"He's not your bodyguard Jincheng, he's my husband, Jiang Chen, 'Jiang' as in 'great river', 'Chen' as in 'star'!" Gong Lin shot Gong Yue a look.

"What?" Gong Yue exclaimed.

Butler Fu also looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment. This guy, dressed like this, was the miss's husband? How could the miss marry such a shabby husband? He looked so down-to-earth; it was such a downgrade!

"You're my brother-in-law?!" Gong Yue was taken aback for a moment, then glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen replied with a wry smile, "When I entered, I wanted to tell you, but you and Butler Fu wouldn't let me finish."

Gong Yue glared at Jiang Chen again, then turned to Gong Lin, "Sis, what kind of man did you marry? He's just a rogue!"

"A rogue?"

Gong Lin blinked in slight astonishment, glanced at Jiang Chen, and looked at Gong Yue perplexed.

"He... he touched my chest and hit my bottom! He is a complete and utter rogue!" Gong Yue said with a red face and embarrassed anger.

Jiang Chen quickly explained, "No, when I came..."

After recounting the earlier events, Jiang Chen smiled helplessly at Gong Lin.

Gong Lin gave Jiang Chen a look, then turned to Gong Yue with a light chuckle, "Alright, Jiang Chen can't be blamed for this; it was you two who misunderstood him. Also, had you let him finish speaking, there wouldn't have been any misunderstandings, right? Come on, Jiang Chen isn't that kind of lecherous man, so don't be angry anymore!"

Gong Yue was even more infuriated. How could her sister be so biased towards Jiang Chen? She couldn't help but huff, "I... Sister, why don't you believe me? He's just a hooligan."

"Alright, alright, he's a hooligan, and I'll scold him," Gong Lin placated Gong Yue and then turned to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, come with me."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that the two of them ignored her and went upstairs directly, Gong Yue was dumbfounded.

Her sister had never been like this before. If she heard someone was bullying her, she would definitely have exploded in anger.

But now, she only knew to protect this outsider? With just such a casual remark, didn't she even get a bit of consolation?

The dumbstruck Gong Yue watched Jiang Chen's retreating back, and anger surged inside her as she bit her lip in secret:

Jiang Chen, oh Jiang Chen! Just wait, I swear I will make you pay! Otherwise, I won't bear the Gong surname!

...

When they arrived at a room upstairs, Gong Lin said with a smile, "This is your room, you'll live here from now on."

"Okay." Jiang Chen nodded, then gave a sheepish smile, "I also did something wrong just now, you can scold me."

"Pfft!" Gong Lin couldn't suppress a laugh, and rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, "Did you think I was really going to scold you? That was for Gong Yue to hear, I believe you!"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, a warm stream flowing through his heart.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Gong Lin brought up the serious matter with a light smile, "I heard from my father last time that for you, the old man of the Jiang Family is preparing to invest in a hundred-billion company in Dingjing, and they want you to manage it. However, only my father and I know about this for now; no one else does."

"Ah?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, "My Jiang Family is that impressive? A hundred billion just like that?"

"You're just realizing it now." Gong Lin rolled her eyes at him again, "If our Gong Family is like the royalty of Dingjing, then the Jiang Family is the royalty of Jincheng, even the entire country, with assets in the trillions and an unparalleled status."

Jiang Chen blinked, digesting this information for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "Who cares if it's royalty or imperial family, it's all the same to me."

As he spoke, he made a bowing gesture, "Plus, I'm not cut out to be a boss. This hundred-billion company, just manage it like before, I'll just be the guy who comes and goes as he pleases, just having a title in the company."

Gong Lin looked at Jiang Chen, amused, "Are you still used to being a hands-off executive? Aren't you afraid I'll swallow up your hundred-billion company?"

"No problem, if you swallow it, then swallow it, since you're my wife now, it's still all in the family." Jiang Chen chuckled softly, then a hint of sadness crossed his eyes, "Besides, once Jing Yi wakes up, our marriage arrangement will be over, so consider the company a form of apology! I just don't know when I'll be able to cure her!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen felt an urgent desire to enhance his Cultivation Technique.

Gong Lin's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and she fell silent momentarily.

Noticing Gong Lin's shift in mood, Jiang Chen paused and, realizing his words, said with full remorse, "Gong Lin, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay!" Gong Lin covered Jiang Chen's mouth with her hand, her gaze soft and tender, "What I love about you is this devotion."

Jiang Chen fell silent, his eyes filled with emotion, but in his heart, he remembered Ye Jingyi's kindness from his dream memories, and he could only apologize to Gong Lin again silently.

...

The next day, Jiang Chen slept until he woke naturally and started his morning routine.

There was a knock at the door. Jiang Chen wiped his face and walked over to open the door.

"Gong Lin, you're up this early too?" Jiang Chen said with a light laugh.

"Early? Are you joking? You should see what time it is." Gong Lin rolled her eyes at Jiang Chen, then said, "Today is the day to pay respect to Grandma. Come with me."
