CHAPTER 642: CHAPTER 631: VICIOUS VILLAIN

"So you all live here!" Wen Xiao looked around the room curiously. "Is it just the four of you today? Jiang Cheng, didn’t I hear that you have a sister? Why isn’t she here?"

"She doesn’t live here anymore." Jiang Cheng opened his computer. "Aren’t you here to test the game? Please have a seat here!"

Jiang Cheng is very straightforward and couldn’t see the affection in Wen Xiao’s eyes, which left her somewhat helpless. She shrugged at Gao Feng and the others, but she felt a slight relief when she heard Ye Qiu doesn’t live here anymore.

Gao Feng and Han Fei have a favorable impression of Wen Xiao. They believe that if she perseveres, she might actually be able to move Jiang Cheng, the hard nut to crack.

But the two hold different views on what they appreciate about Wen Xiao. Gao Feng values her warmth and liveliness, feeling she can complement Jiang Cheng’s personality, whereas Han Fei values not only that aspect, but also her family background. Given the Jiang family’s stance, the family business definitely won’t include Jiang Cheng in the future. To compete with Jiang Yi, the best scenario would be having someone who could wholeheartedly support him, and Wen Xiao fits the bill.

However, regardless of what they think, both hope that Jiang Cheng and Wen Xiao will end up together.

Mo Ziang holds a different perspective. He thinks that although Wen Xiao is lively and cheerful and great in many ways, she is almost too perfect. It’s not that Jiang Cheng isn’t good enough for her, but once his background is revealed, he would surely face others’ bias and would always be one step below Wen Xiao.

Jiang Cheng is certainly not someone who would bow down easily. Wen Xiao may seem spirited and generous now, but her upbringing means she’s also prideful. She might be able to pamper Jiang Cheng for a while, but what about in the long run?

Even though Brother Han is a chilly person, once he accepts someone, it means he truly cares about them. Rather than suffer greater heartache later, it’s better not to fall in love at all—otherwise, he fears Jiang Cheng’s heart, just warmed by Ye Qiu’s affection, might turn cold and stiff again.

However, a relationship is a matter between two people. As his brother, it isn’t right for him to interfere too much. If Jiang Cheng truly accepts Wen Xiao in the future, he just hopes they can manage their relationship well!

Jiang Cheng and Han Fei were testing a single-player mini-game which is gradually becoming obsolete these days. Only the classic games still have some loyal fans, as most of the mini-games hardly resonate with netizens. Initially, Wen Xiao was only trying to get closer to Jiang Cheng, but after playing a couple of rounds, she found herself longing for more.

The sparkle in her eyes brightened—Jiang Cheng was indeed someone worth pursuing!

"How is it? Any suggestions?" Jiang Cheng cared more about the game outcomes, and he eagerly asked her as soon as she finished playing.

"It’s very rewarding; it makes me want to keep playing. However, I think the storyline could be improved. I believe it’s like this..." Wen Xiao spoke confidently, not just Jiang Cheng and Han Fei were listening intently, even the usually indifferent Gao Feng and Mo Ziang paid serious attention, showing that she indeed had skills.

The discussion lasted for nearly two hours with everyone feeling engaged. Jiang Cheng’s gaze softened a lot when he looked at Wen Xiao.

"How about this, you can improve on the aspects we’ve discussed, and then I can introduce you to my uncle, how does that sound? Actually, I think this game is even better than what my uncle’s company makes, but if it’s further improved, he might offer a higher price!"

Jiang Cheng looked at her seriously: "I will improve it as soon as possible, thank you!"

"You’re welcome. If you really want to thank me, how about treating me to dinner?" Wen Xiao tilted her head to look at him, revealing a perfect profile.

"Let’s go to ’He Chef’, it will definitely satisfy you!" Gao Feng quickly said.

Speaking of which, ever since Qiu moved out, they hadn’t tasted her cooking for a long time, and they really missed it.

"Is it the one on Beifeng Road? I heard it’s really good, but also hard to book. I’ve been hearing great things but haven’t tried it yet. Did you guys book in advance?" Wen Xiao asked curiously.

Hearing her words, Gao Feng smiled mysteriously: "You might not know this, but we don’t need a reservation to go there, and we even get discounts and free meals!"

"Oh?" Wen Xiao looked around at the group, then asked, "Is it you guys who opened it?"

"It’s not us who opened it, but it’s our sister who did."

"Your sister?" Wen Xiao slowed down noticeably when she asked these words.

Han Fei, sitting in the driver’s seat, turned to her and said, "I’ll introduce you to someone in a moment, you’ll know when you see her."

Wen Xiao already had a guess, somewhat reluctant to admit it, but her smile was still as lively and cheerful as before, with a teasing tone: "Could it be the legendary sister from Jiang Cheng!"

"You got it!" Gao Feng jumped in, "You don’t know how delicious the dishes Ye Qiu’s sister makes are, I guarantee you’ve never tasted anything so good."

"Really?" Wen Xiao widened her eyes, "Then I’m in for a treat."

Although she said this with an expectant expression, there was some disdain in her heart, not because she looked down on people, but because she had tasted plenty of delicious foods since she was young. She heard that Jiang Cheng’s sister is even younger than Jiang Cheng by a year, only around eighteen now. What cooking experience could she have? It might just be all hype!

However, she would definitely not reveal this kind of thought in front of Jiang Cheng and the others, even Mo Ziang who wasn’t very optimistic about them didn’t notice.

Before coming, they had called Ye Qiu, so the private room had already been reserved. Ye Qiu walked in while Wen Xiao was ordering.

The two girls stiffened for a moment when their eyes met, but no one else noticed, and Ye Qiu quickly recovered, extending her hand friendly: "Are you the classmate of my second brother and Brother Han? Hello, I’m Ye Qiu, Jiang Cheng’s sister."

Wen Xiao’s reaction wasn’t bad either, her crescent eyes curved again: "Hello, I’m Wen Xiao, I heard from them that your cooking is really good. I’ve ordered a few dishes casually, I’ll leave it to you in a while."

It really was her!

Upon hearing this name, Ye Qiu’s pupils shrank sharply, not because of anything else, but because Wen Xiao was Jiang Cheng’s fiancée stolen by Jiang Yi in his previous life. She didn’t expect them to get entangled so early, nor did she expect Jiang Cheng to accept the other party so easily.

She knew how hard she had tried to lower Jiang Cheng’s guard, making late night snacks for nearly a month, indeed true love is invincible.

There’s no doubt that Jiang Cheng loved Wen Xiao deeply, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone mad after Jiang Yi stole her in the previous life. Ye Qiu was now conflicted, not knowing whether she should prevent them from developing feelings or guard against Jiang Yi stealing Wen Xiao away.

"It’s no trouble, this is my job after all." Ye Qiuqing smiled lightly, then accurately asked the guys, "Do you want to order anything else?"

"Are there any new dishes?" Gao Feng asked eagerly.

"Yes." Hearing Ye Qiu’s affirmative answer, the eyes of the remaining three guys lit up.

"Then add the new dish and the two dishes we usually love the most, and make sure they are personally made by you."

"No problem, coming right up."
