CHAPTER 553: CHAPTER 551: MY MAN

Wei Feng’s call did not provoke any reaction from Jiang Kechu, who only felt the arm in his hand struggle briefly. He was frightened into instinctively changing from a grab to an embrace, holding Wan Chu’er tightly in his arms.

"Yes, I once dated Wei Feng." Jiang Kechu finally spoke up, causing a stir among the crowd. Zhu Xiaojun sighed with relief.

Brother Jiang still had feelings for her, and Wei Feng was so moved that she nearly burst into tears.

From a distance, Mai Qiqi held Chen Ke’s arm, clicking her tongue and said, "Jiang Kechu is doomed, really doomed..."

Wan Chu’er stared fixedly at Jiang Kechu, her eyes brimming with complex emotions: disappointment, sadness, sorrow... Seeing this tugged at Jiang Kechu’s heartstrings, and he continued:

"But that was many years ago, I have long since forgotten everything completely. I now have a wife and children, and a very happy family. I love my wife deeply and except for her, I won’t spare a second glance for any other woman, nor do I want any other woman to care for or miss me, because that is my wife’s privilege alone. She is the only one who can care for and miss me. So now, to me, Wei Feng is just a stranger, and her appearance only causes me trouble.

Moreover, the last time she came to find me, I already told her that I don’t know her and asked her not to bother me again."

Although Jiang Kechu was speaking loudly, ensuring everyone in the villa could hear him, his gaze was firmly fixed on Wan Chu’er, whom he held tightly in his arms the entire time.

Feeling the body in his arms relax, the chill slowly melting away, Jiang Kechu finally let go of the worry in his heart: he had passed the test.

"Chuchu, I only love you," he added, not forgetting to sprinkle a bit more ’dog food’ for effect.

Wei Feng, hearing these words, turned even paler, her heart wracked with sorrow, unable to resist reaching to pull Jiang Kechu’s hand.

Jiang Kechu dared not be pulled by her under such circumstances, he immediately and mercilessly held Wan Chu’er closer and dodged to the side, causing Wei Feng to stumble, nearly falling over.

Jiang Kechu said with displeasure, "Lady Wei, please don’t tug at me, my wife would be unhappy. If my wife is unhappy, I won’t be happy either."

At that moment, Wan Chu’er’s heart was filled with joy. Seeing Wei Feng’s embarrassed state made her even more pleased, and she looked up at Jiang Kechu with a smile, saying, "That’s so cheesy, but I love hearing it. Tell me again when we’re alone with the doors closed."

"Okay." Jiang Kechu responded with a smile, readily agreeing, oblivious to the presence of anyone else.

The onlookers were further stimulated by the couple’s unabashedly cheesy words of affection.

Mai Qiqi, watching Jiang Kechu and Wan Chu’er embrace from afar, enviously remarked, "I’m so jealous of them. I wish someone would do the same for me."

Chen Ke’s mouth twitched, thinking to himself: Captain Jiang is truly Captain Jiang; he could never be so shameless in public. But Mai Qiqi’s words, why do they sound so sour to him?

"Come with me."

Chen Ke took Mai Qiqi’s hand and started walking outside, with Mai Qiqi following behind him, sporting a sly grin, looking forward to what was coming next.

The women present were touched by Jiang Kechu’s brazen display of love, except for Wei Feng.

Wei Feng felt as if she had been doused with cold water from head to toe, completely chilled. How could he treat her like this? What did she do wrong?

"Is it wrong for me to care for you silently? Brother Jiang." Wei Feng asked, not giving up hope.

At that moment, Wan Chu’er stood up from Jiang Kechu’s embrace and said to Wei Feng, "I’m petty just like you and don’t like other women getting close to my man, especially you. Last time, you approached him under the guise of asking for Jiang Kechu’s help, which disgusted me. This time, whether you truly inquired about my man’s matters or it’s just a pretense, either way, it’s shameless. I remember Miss Wei used to be quite proud, I hope you’ll stop trying to seduce other people’s men in the future."

Having said that, she didn’t care how others looked at her or how ugly Wei Feng’s expression turned, she gave Zhu Xiaojun a mocking glance and said, "Also, if you don’t want to harm Jiang Kechu, better not pull such stunts again in the future."

Zhu Xiaojun, upon hearing this, alternated between pale and crimson, awkwardly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong, I won’t do it again."

"Have fun, everyone." Wan Chu’er was in a very good mood, she smiled and said this to everyone before pulling Jiang Kechu away, and the crowd spontaneously made way for them both.

Everyone realized, Wan Chu’er really is not someone to be messed with.

Wei Feng could only watch helplessly as Jiang Kechu walked past her without so much as a glance, instead looking at Wan Chu’er with affection.

If... if she hadn’t broken up back then, would she be the one being doted on by Jiang Kechu now?

Before she could wallow in sorrow, a mocking voice reached her ears, "Miss Wei, I too am a jealous woman, so please keep your distance from Zhu Xiaojun from now on. No matter the excuse, I won’t accept it; I will only assume you are trying to lure him away."

Hearing these words and seeing the looks of either pity or mockery from others, Wei Feng swayed as if about to fall, but she stood strong, stood tall, and with a defiant arch of her back, she said first:

"Rest assured, I have no interest in other people’s men, and please stop slinging mud at me in the future!" With that, she walked out with her back straight, feigning pride, yet in others’ eyes, she looked nothing more than a sorry figure standing her ground in desperation.

The people present, everyone knew that Wei Feng was likely indeed flirting with Zhu Xiaojun just now. Just now, Wan Chu’er was very clear, Wei Feng had previously tried to seduce Jiang Kechu, and her actions now were nothing but a feeble attempt to fool others, and herself.

Thus, the women with partners started to be extra wary, deciding to keep their men away from Wei Feng in the future, since after all, men do like women who are fragile and beautiful.

As for the single men, especially those with dishonest intentions, each one observed Wei Feng’s retreating figure, silently contemplating if there might be a chance for them in the future...

Wan Chu’er happily held Jiang Kechu’s hand while walking out. Jiang Kechu let her lead him away, feeling her happiness, still immersed in her recent words.

’My man’, he really liked Chuchu defining him that way.

Halfway there, they encountered Kong Zifeng and his fiancée Xinxin. Seeing them from afar, Kong Zifeng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I heard you made quite the scene at my wife’s birthday party just now?"

Wan Chu’er replied with a smile, "Your birthday party is great, thank you for inviting us." Then she said to Xinxin, "I haven’t had the chance to wish you a happy birthday yet. You and Kong Zifeng are a great match, I wish you both grow old together, just like me and Jiang Kechu."

After hearing her words, Xinxin smiled happily, "I accept your blessings, I really like them."

Wan Chu’er added, "Sorry, the two of us have to leave early due to some matters, we won’t be able to watch you blow out the candles."

"No problem," Kong Zifeng said with a smile, "Seeing how happy you are, I bet it’s not about anything good, take it easy," which earned him a punch from Jiang Kechu.

Watching the couple walking away hand in hand, Xinxin said, "Aren’t you going to tell your good brother that it was you who helped him out?"

Kong Zifeng responded with a smirk, "It was just giving him a little nudge along the way, let’s go, it’s time to blow out the candles."
