Wang Xintong wore a low-cut cheongsam of a flame-like red color, exuding a bold and passionate vibe. Her beautiful jet-black hair let down on her pale shoulders while her bountiful bosom was in plain view with a jade diamond necklace laying on her breast, giving her an exquisite look.
Though he felt that Wang Xintong had a good figure when he first saw her, he wasn't expecting it to be this fine. Her aura had elevated so much after she dressed up. She held a glass of red wine in her hand, gently swaying it. Everything seemed to turn ambiguous as she did so under the lighting of the night scene.
"Mr. Jiang!"
This time, her tone wasn't prideful like before but instead docile like a little kitten. She assumed a weak appearance which really seemed to make her look lovelier.
"Do you need anything from this Deity?"
"I was afraid you would feel bored, so I came to accompany you."
She took the already prepared glass of red wine from the bar counter and walked towards Jiang Xiu lightly. Her gaze was blurry due to the tipsiness.
She offered the wine cup to Jiang Xiu.
"Drink wine, take a bath, then sleep early…"
"You aren't scared of me?" asked Jiang Xiu.
Wang Xintong assumed a scared appearance coyly as a blaze lit in her eyes, "I'm afraid. Why wouldn't I be? I'm so frightened of dying and scared you'll eat me."
A deliberate smile rose on Jiang Xiu's mouth, which made things only worse. He had noticed that her calves were trembling.
"That's good then…"
He took the wine glass from her and made a big gulp. The wine had a rich and exquisite taste as it slid down his throat. He handed over the empty glass to Wang Xintong before entering inside and said to her in passing, "This Deity will take a bath first."
"Be quick, don't make me wait for long."
The Wang family followed olden traditions very seriously. Before, she wasn't even allowed to act intimately with her male friends, let alone have a boyfriend. But now, she had to do such a thing with Jiang Xiu.
Wang Xintong's gaze turned complicated after Jiang Xiu entered inside. She went to the bar counter again and downed a few more glasses of wine. Her courage swelled up as the warmth spread throughout her body.
She came near the bed and turned off the lights. Faint moonlight dawned inside the room through the window as she bit her red lips while stripping off the pretty evening dress then slithered under the white bed sheet.
She laid down on the bed obediently, her hair scattered on the pillow. Her pale skin glowed under the moonlight, a slight scowl on her pretty forehead as her long eyelashes trembled from the nervousness.
She felt as if she was an imperial concubine waiting for the Emperor to copulate with her.
Waiting while feeling torment.
She felt a myriad of emotions; wronged, distressed, and frightened, but could only force her tears back.
She heard footsteps come over from the bathroom's direction. A demonic god-like shadow casting over, making her heart beat faster.
He's here!
Wang Xintong felt incredibly nervous as well as ashamed while she did her best to shut her eyes tightly.
Jiang Xiu took a bath and came outside to discover that the lights were all turned off. He then looked at the figure laying on the bed, leaving half of the bed for him.
He went over there only to see her nervous and shy appearance as she did her best to close her eyes. He lifted the sheet and went under it.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to seduce this Deity?"
Wang Xintong blushed even more as she stuttered while replying, "N-No. I… Yes…"
She didn't even know what she had spoken.
"Hmm!"
"You think it's so easy to seduce this Deity? That I'll get tempted just because you want to entice me?" His gaze swept past the clothes on the ground as he imagined the alluring scene under the sheet.
"Also, do you plan to seduce this Deity with only this?"
"By stripping naked like some dead fish?"
Wang Xintong felt quite embarrassed as she bit her lips. She stuck her body to him, but this made Jiang Xiu feel quite strange.
"This Deity is mysophobic and doesn't touch just any woman."
Wang Xintong was stunned.
She didn't know whether she should feel happy or sad. She would be able to preserve her purity if Mr. Jiang doesn't take her but she couldn't feel happy about it because she'd get ostracized by others.
"Get down. Honor this Deity with a dance."
"Hah?"
Wang Xintong had learned dancing from her childhood, but she had never danced in such way. She felt even more ashamed now.
"What? You don't want to?"
"Get out from here then."
There was a big contrast between spending the night in Mr. Jiang's room and being driven out from there. Wang Xintong panicked, "Don't! Mr. Jiang, please don't send me away…"
A bewitching shadow danced under the enthralling night scene. Although soundless, the moonlight sprinkling through the window emphasized her loveliness, reflecting it on the wall behind her. In fact, a noiseless view was alluring than one with sound and even seized a person's soul.
Jiang Xiu woke up early in the morning of the next day. That girl who was similar to a rose blooming in the night winds sat at the bedside. Perhaps because she couldn't endure it anymore, her face was leaning on the bedside.
She had slept quite soundly, a blush covering her entire face.
Perhaps because she was roused up due to Jiang Xiu's movements, she opened her eyes in a great rush. Her hair was messy and gaze hazy as she called out to him in a respectful manner, "Good morning, Mr. Jiang."
She felt happy after seeing the daybreak outside. She had successfully spent a night in Mr. Jiang's room.
"Your dancing skill is a bit out of practice. You need to improve it further."
Jiang Xiu had seen several thousands of beautiful heavenly dances on the Immortal Martial Continent. However, a person's mood always changes depending on the environment. There was a clear difference between drinking water in a desert and in a resort. Appreciating a dance like this here, that too a shameful dance by a girl from a wealthy family. Though she was out of practice, it was a beautiful pleasure.
"I'll work hard."
Wang Xintong's voice replied in a mosquito-like voice. She felt very shy as Mr. Jiang's words implied that he could request her to dance like that again.
This was the first time Jiang Xiu had cohabitated with a beautiful woman in the same room after coming back to this world and shared an endless night. Pain flashed through his eyes. He had spent 3 millenniums to forget a person but would recall her again within 3 seconds. Someone once said that the things you regain after losing are what you must cherish the most. Then losing what you've obtained is what pains you the most.
A thick mist rolled over the river bank, giving rise to a hazy fog all over the villa zones.
"How old are you?" asked Jiang Xiu.
"I turned 20 just recently."
"The same as her." Jiang Xiu was naturally thinking about Cheng Lingran. She had turned 20 recently as well. She would start her 3rd year of university in September.
"Are you still studying? Where do you study?"
"I studied at Colombia. I already graduated from the MBA course."
"I also hold a PhD." she added in the end.
Jiang Xiu was a bit amazed. When he met her, she seemed quite arrogant and cold, but she actually turned out to be a rare business genius. He speculated that it must've been due to Wang Xuetang's upbringing.
"Interesting…"
"Soon, all the big shots from Hang City will come over."
"You shall receive them on behalf of this Deity."
"Me?" Wang Xintong was quite surprised.
She couldn't believe it as she knew what this signified. It meant that she had become Mr. Jiang's spokesperson. She was expecting that this work will fall to the Tang family but never thought she would be selected.
"Yes!"
Wang Xintong blushed again after getting his confirmation. It wasn't due to shame this time but instead due to the excitement. Her eyes shone with enthusiasm.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. I won't disappoint you."
Jiang Xiu nodded then said in a deadpan manner, "The most important thing is to practice dancing better, remember this."
"…" Wang Xintong was left speechless.
At this time, the bell of the villa rung. Tang Zhenshan and the others had arrived. They felt their hearts skip a beat when they saw Wang Xintong accompany Jiang Xiu for breakfast in the villa's open space. Wang Xintong was waiting right for this moment when others will see her. She felt quite ashamed, especially so due to her father's unclear expression. She wished she could escape to another region.
"Mr. Jiang, this is the plan document and also the first project I'm planning. As my Wang family doesn't have any foundation in real estate, we are planning to make a contract with Jiang City's Cheng family to be safe…"
Jiang Xiu waved his hand, "From now on, if you have anything to report to this Deity, first go through her. She'll filter through them then inform this Deity. Wait for a second… What did you just say? Who are you going to cooperate with?"
Wang Xuetang replied, "Jiang City's Cheng Estates. Has Mr. Jiang heard about them?"
