Chapter 926: A Small Accident

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Caron_

Although their relationship was confirmed for quite some time, Xia Shiyu was still very resistant to the idea of sleeping together. This made Jiang Chen somewhat depressed since she was so open that night. Ayesha once asked Jiang Chen seriously if she should use force like last time…

Well, Jiang Chen admitted it was a very attractive proposal, but he still “reluctantly rejected” Ayesha’s tempting offer.

It was bad to force things, and he wasn’t sure whether this would generate some resentfulness from Xia Shiyu. Not everyone enjoyed being the masochist.

In the evening, when Jiang Chen returned home, it was almost twelve o’clock.

After taking a shower and drying his hair, when he walked to the corridor on the second floor, he suddenly stopped and his eyes lingered on the bedroom door.

[Hmm, whose bedroom should I go to tonight?]

While immersed in his thoughts, Jiang Chen was already in front of Xia Shiyu’s door. Reaching for the door handle, he found that the door was locked.

Jiang Chen didn’t expect this.

“Is she tired?” Whispered, Jiang Chen went to Ayesha’s room instead.

The door wasn’t locked.

Or rather, he just gently pushed on the door before the door sprung open.

From the concave part of the bedding, Ayesha was already asleep.

A smirk appeared on Jiang Chen’s lips as he quietly snuck to the bedside.

The room was silent. Moonlight scattered through the window into the room and dyed her adorable face with a touch of serenity. She sniffed her nose slightly, and her soft lips opened and closed with rhythmic breaths. Looking at such a lovely face, a natural desire to protect her arose from his heart.

Jiang Chen’s lust subsided slightly.

“Forget it, I’ll be more gentle today.”

Gently opening the corner of the quilt, Jiang Chen lay next to Ayesha. Originally, he intended to sleep like that, but when he got into bed, Ayesha, who was sleeping, murmured and hugged him like a sloth.

Pressed by her softness on his arm, Jiang Chen suddenly didn’t feel sleepy at all.

The desire that lay in his abdomen was reignited like fire splashed with gasoline…

“Is he still not back?”

Yawning, Xia Shiyu hid half her face in the quilt and peeked at the clock on the wall.

In Jiang Chen’s absence, she already reached a “sharing agreement” with Ayesha. Although it was strange to use the contractual spirit in this aspect, it seemed to be the best way to avoid conflict when there was no better solution.

As for the future…

She didn’t want to consider this issue.

However, as her thoughts ran wild and she watched the passage of time, Jiang Chen still hadn’t returned.

After waiting for so long, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat flustered and her mouth covered by the quilt pouted.

She had prepared for so long…

Just like this, with anxious thoughts, Xia Shiyu couldn’t resist the heavy fatigue and finally closed her heavy eyelids at two o’clock in the morning.

“This guy…how come he hasn’t come back yet?”

She muttered. Her hands holding onto the quilt slowly relaxed. Uniform breaths wafted from underneath and she gradually drifted away into the long night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Chen stretched and rubbed his sleepy eyes as he got up from the bed.

He examined the messy bedding and a smirk appeared on his face. He got off the bed feeling refreshed and put on some clothes to go to the bathroom.

After washing up, Jiang Chen encountered Xia Shiyu, who was eating breakfast in the dining room.

What surprised Jiang Chen was that she slept so early, but she had dark circles under her eyelids.

“Did you stay up late to play with your phone?” Carrying a plate and sitting next to Xia Shiyu, Jiang Chen asked.

Xia Shiyu gave him a dirty stare, turned her head around, and left a “hmph”.

Jiang Chen stared at the back of her head, completely unaware of the reason.

Looking at the two people next to her, Ayesha couldn’t stop giggling. Although it was a completely unexpected accident last night, she clearly knew why Xia Shiyu was sullen.

Sure enough, in order to avoid such accidents, it was better to tell him about the “timetable” she discussed with her sister.

With this in mind, Ayesha already quietly sold out Xia Shiyu, who strongly urged her not to tell Jiang Chen about the shameful “agreement”. It was to avoid accidents like last night, Ayesha convinced herself.

The Heart of the Sea mega-structure consisted of shopping, dining, accommodations, and entertainment, just like its name. This landmark building on Coro Island’s coast was like a pearl in the Western Pacific Ocean. Since its completion, it had been filled with people.

In the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel, a serious, old-fashioned, white-haired old man repeatedly flipped through a document in his hands.

Right then, the door was pushed open and a woman about 20 years old entered the room. She walked to the old man’s side and curiously looked at his document.

“Grandpa, don’t sleep so late. What are you looking at?”

“I couldn’t sleep.” Ye Qinghua sighed and put the document on the table. “We missed out on a talent we absolutely shouldn’t have missed out. For so many years… Since your grandmother left, I’ve never been so remorseful about something.”

He was reading through Jiang Chen’s file. This file recorded everything from birth, admission and graduation from Wanghai University. Regardless how he examined the file, he was just an ordinary young man. The type who wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.

One day in the late summer of 2015, he registered a technology company in Wanghai. His Future Technology, which eventually became Future Group and took the world by storm.

If the Wang family plotted against Future Technology, the Ye Family could’ve given him a hand..

Shaking his head, Ye Qinghua didn’t think about these unrealistic ifs.

He must now organize his thoughts. There was an important negotiation waiting for him in the afternoon. Not only Hua, but the UA, Russia, Britain, and France were all staring at the space elevator. The reality of being able to send people up to space for a few Xin New Dollars wasn’t just as simple as saving a couple million in economic value.

Regardless how reluctant the countries were to admit it, this young man under 30 had already started a new era.

Standing next to the old man, Ye Yunfei disagreed. She only glanced at the photos on the documents before she was no longer interested.

At the age of seventeen, most people were in high school and worried about which university to attend. She had already completed a degree in economics and management at Harvard University and began her postgraduate studies in economics and management. Two years later, when her country’s peers were still in their first year of military training, she was already preparing to pursue a master’s degree at Harvard.

She didn’t excuse herself from hard work because she was born into a good family. Ye Yunfei was a model among the new generation of the powerful families.

In her view, the success of Future Group definitely wasn’t his work alone. This person was just lucky. She was even confident that if she was in the same position, she would do even better.

There was slight dissatisfaction in her mind and she accidentally let it slip out through her murmur.

“What kind of attitude is this? He left us dry for a day.”

As soon as her voice fell, a fierce gaze stared at her which made her immediately shut up. Although Grandpa was always kind, she knew how scary this gentle old man was when he was furious.

“The conference is crucial to the Ye family and more important to the Republic. Commander trusts this old bone and sent me here. I know you have your arrogance. You look down on the new money, and you’re aren’t convinced of what he achieved. But I’m telling you now—no matter how unconvinced you are, hold it in!” Ye Qinghua said while raising his voice.

Ye Yunfei lowered her head, but she was pouting.

Seeing that his granddaughter did not respond, Ye Qinghua persisted.

“Do you hear me?!”

“Yes…” As if she just experienced all the wrongs in the world, Ye Yunfei reluctantly squeezed the word out of her mouth.

However, in her mind, her impression of Jiang Chen, who she had never met before, was even worse.

Him? Just a bastard who got lucky.

Let me bow. Who does he think he is?
