Chapter 20: The Toad Lusts After the Swan’s Flesh?

Seeing Ye Chen turn his head, Jiang Che retracted his gaze and walked inside with Ah Long.

“Hey, fatty, come here…” Ye Chen called the chubby security guard over as he watched Jiang Che walk away.

“Captain, what’s up?” The guard approached Ye Chen, a sycophantic smile on his face.

“Who was that man who just went in?” Ye Chen asked, puzzled. For some reason, he felt an innate hostility towards the man he had just seen.

“You mean Jiang Che? Captain, don’t you know him?” The guard looked at Ye Chen oddly. Wasn’t he President Shen’s junior brother? Didn’t he know about her fiancé?

“What do you mean?” Ye Chen was even more confused. He had just come down the mountain; how could he possibly know the man?

“He’s President Shen, your senior sister’s fiancé!” the guard said with a sigh. “Perhaps only someone like him is worthy of our President Shen.”

“What???” Ye Chen was stunned, then completely baffled. His senior sister had a fiancé? He had never heard about it before. And what did that make him?

“Captain, didn’t you know about this?” The guard looked at Ye Chen oddly, his expression turning somewhat disdainful. Although Ye Chen was a skilled fighter, he was nothing compared to Jiang Che.

In terms of family background, education, connections, and looks, Ye Chen couldn’t hold a candle to Jiang Che. Did he really think he could aspire to someone like Shen Qingqiu?

Lost in his confusion, Ye Chen didn’t notice the guard’s disdainful look. “No, I must go and see what’s happening…” He hurried to the sixteenth floor.

…

On the sixteenth floor of Shen Corporation, Jiang Che, accompanied by Ah Long, entered Shen Qingqiu’s office without even knocking.

Shen Qingqiu frowned at the interruption but softened when she saw it was Jiang Che. “Why are you here?”

“I missed you, so I came to see you,” Jiang Che replied nonchalantly, placing the roses on her desk.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in class today?” Shen Qingqiu didn’t make a big deal out of it. After all, Jiang Che was her fiancé, and she didn’t think he was frivolous.

Marrying him would bring immense benefits to her family. In her position, marriage wasn’t something she could decide on her own. Having enjoyed the privileges of her family, she felt obligated to repay them.

Moreover, she didn’t dislike Jiang Che. They had grown up together, and he was more responsible than other wealthy heirs. Perhaps this was the best outcome for her, considering how many women in Linjiang City desired Jiang Che but never had a chance.

“No, it’s almost holiday time, and I don’t feel like going to school anymore. I’ve been staying at home these past few days,” Jiang Che said. “What are you busy with?”

He was curious; he had visited Shen Qingqiu a few times recently and enjoyed her company. Maybe it was because he was her fiancé, or perhaps she remembered their childhood together, but she wasn’t as cold with him as she was with others.

This had always intrigued Jiang Che, especially since in the original story, Ye Chen struggled for over ten thousand chapters to win over his senior sister, leading Jiang Che to think Shen Qingqiu was somewhat odd.

“Not much, just dealing with some company documents. After all, I am now the president of the Shen Corporation, and I have to do some work,” Shen Qingqiu replied, her tone softer than usual.

She didn’t really want to be the president; she would have preferred to quietly practice martial arts at home, but she couldn’t refuse her father’s wishes.

“You look good in that outfit,” Jiang Che commented, observing her attire: a pencil skirt, white blouse, and black high heels—a perfect urban beauty look that accentuated her figure.

Noticing Jiang Che’s gaze, Shen Qingqiu gave him a reproachful look but didn’t say anything. After all, he was her fiancé, and if he wanted to look, let him look.

“How do you feel about being a president?”

“Not great. I don’t want to be one,” Shen Qingqiu replied.

As Jiang Che and Shen Qingqiu were casually chatting, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Chen entered in a hurry.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” Shen Qingqiu’s expression immediately cooled, visibly displeased with Ye Chen. He wasn’t someone special to her, so she didn’t afford him any privileges.

“I…” Ye Chen hesitated, taken aback by her questioning look. He couldn’t really say he was worried about her safety and barged in, could he? That would seem implausible, especially since Shen Qingqiu was far stronger than him.

Jiang Che watched Ye Chen with interest, feeling somewhat triumphant. It seemed the protagonist didn’t carry much weight in Shen Qingqiu’s presence…
