When Jiang Nansun called, Chen Cheng happened to be eating as well.

Chen Cheng glanced at Qiao Jingjing, pointed to his phone, and said, "I'm going to take a call."

Qiao Jingjing darted her eyes around and nodded.

As soon as Chen Cheng turned to walk toward the balcony, she immediately cast a suspicious glance at him.

Blockhead usually doesn't avoid me when he takes calls here.

Whose call is this?

His girlfriend?

Ah, no.

He doesn't have a girlfriend either.

He even bragged about having over a dozen girlfriends; is he trying to fool me like I'm an idiot?

I won't fall for it.

Then who could it be?

Qiao Jingjing stared intently at Chen Cheng on the balcony as he answered the phone.

Chen Cheng closed the balcony door before tapping accept, "Hello~ Nansun, what made you think of calling me?"

Jiang Nansun's eyes widened, her expression showing some nervousness.

Exactly, calling out of the blue is a bit presumptuous.

"Ahem~" Jiang Nansun cleared her throat, organized her thoughts, and tapped speakerphone, "Teacher Chen, have you eaten?"

Hearing Jiang Nansun's slightly awkward voice, Chen Cheng curled his lips, "Are you inviting me to dinner? It wouldn't be impossible if a beauty asks."

A flush of red instantly appeared on Jiang Nansun's face, "No, it's... that..."

Chen Cheng's lips curved slightly, "Alright, just say what you need to say."

"Um, Teacher Chen, who are the people in the photo you posted on your Moments this morning?"

"Ye Jinyan, the CEO of Jingyan Group, and Ms. Jiang from Hong Kong Island," Chen Cheng rolled his eyes, feigning teasing, "What? Who do you want to meet?"

Zhu Suosuo watched Jiang Nansun, feeling anxious just listening to the call.

My Princess Jiang, can't you just say it directly?

Zhu Suosuo swallowed hard and said, "That's not what we mean, Teacher Chen. Do you know the man in the suit in the photo?"

Chen Cheng's lips curved slightly. Fishy, she's hooked.

"The suit~" Chen Cheng feigned hesitation.

Zhu Suosuo got anxious, "The one in the later photo, the person driving for that old man."

"Oh~ You mean Master Ma."

"Master Ma?" Zhu Suosuo's heart sank, her eyes widening.

"What do you mean by Master Ma?" Jiang Nansun was also stunned and blurted out.

Chen Cheng said in a flat tone, "Oh, that's CEO Ye's driver. I heard his secretary calling him 'Master Ma, Master Ma', so I shouldn't have misheard."

After speaking, Scum Cheng allowed a light smile to surface on his lips.

Thinking that Zhu Suosuo's expression must be very interesting right now.

She originally thought she was dating a real estate executive boyfriend, fantasizing about moving out of that small balcony cubicle at her uncle's house and flying up to the branches to become a phoenix.

Who knew the boyfriend was actually just a driver.

Jiang Nansun looked at Zhu Suosuo in disbelief, "A driver?..." Seeing her ugly expression, her voice gradually faded.

Chen Cheng nodded, "Should be right."

"What's wrong? Do you know him?"

"If you need, I can call CEO Ye to confirm."

Zhu Suosuo gradually came back to her senses, swallowed, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Chen, no need."

Chen Cheng's lips curled, "Did you call just to confirm who Master Ma is?"

Zhu Suosuo looked embarrassed. Jiang Nansun, seeing her distressed look, couldn't bear it and thought for a moment before saying, "Teacher Chen, could you please help us ask what exactly Master Ma does at Jingyan Group and what his position is?"

Chen Cheng nodded and agreed immediately, "Sure! I'll have my secretary ask Fan Jingang in a moment. Is that it?"

Jiang Nansun nodded subconsciously, "Yes, that's it."

"Remember, you owe me a favor. Treat me to a meal another day."

Without giving Jiang Nansun a chance to speak, Chen Cheng hung up the phone.

Jiang Nansun was just about to agree, but who knew the other side had already hung up; she pouted.

Putting away her phone, she cautiously looked at the dejected Zhu Suosuo.

She reached out and held Zhu Suosuo's hand on the table, "Suo Suo~"

Zhu Suosuo already had tears in her eyes and shook her head.

At this moment, she knew she had been deceived.

She leaned back against the chair quite nonchalantly.

"Of course I hope my boyfriend is a rich and talented person."

"An executive is definitely better than a driver, right?"

"I don't mean that drivers are bad."

"It's just that if I knew he was a driver, I wouldn't necessarily be dating him."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of admitting."

"I'm not angry because of that, I'm angry because he lied to me."

Jiang Nansun heard her phone vibrate and looked down at it.

Zhu Suosuo cast a hopeful look, and Jiang Nansun offered an awkward smile.

Zhu Suosuo was stunned for a moment, then sighed.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have been so high-profile before."

"I even told my dad, uncle, aunt, and Luo Jiaming as if it were true."

"If they find out, even if they don't say anything, who knows what they'll think."

Jiang Nansun frowned, knowing she was talking about how she had planned to move in with her 'boyfriend' and had even announced to her uncle and aunt that she was moving out.

Now it's awkward.

"If you can live at your uncle and aunt's, then stay there; if you can't, you can come live at my place anytime."

Zhu Suosuo sighed, "That's still living under someone else's roof."

The two were so close they slept in the same bed, so Jiang Nansun naturally knew what Zhu Suosuo was expressing about her state of mind.

She raised an eyebrow at her, looking proud, "At my house, that's called living under a friend's roof."

"How could it be called living under someone else's roof?"

Zhu Suosuo smiled, grabbed Jiang Nansun's hand, "And I need to have you. Otherwise, I'd feel like an orphan, fighting alone."

Jiang Nansun stared into Zhu Suosuo's eyes, her tone firm, "I will always be with you, until you find your captain."

Zhu Suosuo sighed softly, "Hoo~"

"It's a good thing I had that hanger-on Luo Jiaming, so I didn't spend the night with him."

"Otherwise, I would have been taken advantage of without even knowing it."

Jiang Nansun clapped her hands, "Alright~ Since you know now, it's not too late."

Looking at her teary eyes, "Alright, our Zhu Suosuo will definitely find her Bed-Captain."

Looking at Jiang Nansun, who had been with her since childhood, Zhu Suosuo felt a wave of emotion.

She forced a smile and nodded, "Hmm~"

On Chen Cheng's side.

Chen Cheng returned to the dining table. Qiao Jingjing didn't ask a single question, just kept putting food on Chen Cheng's plate.

Watching her little actions, Chen Cheng wore a warm smile, "Let's watch the match after we finish eating."

"Watch a match? Watch what match?"

Chen Cheng raised his hand, pretending to tap her head, "Blockhead, of course it's the Honor of Kings match."

"You're going to play against professional players, you can't do that without knowing them."

Qiao Jingjing held her head with both hands, revealing half her face, looking very cute, "Oh, oh~"

"Does the house have a projector?" Chen Cheng couldn't help but chuckle and asked.

Qiao Jingjing thought for a moment, "Yes!" After speaking, she turned and ran towards the media room.

She suddenly remembered the house was too messy and went to tidy up.

Chen Cheng watched her hurried back and his mouth twitched.

Why does this stunning actress feel so silly?

[Stayed up all night watching the competition, and in the end, Xiao Zheng lost. Tomorrow's, it's only on during the day tomorrow. My head hurts, I'm going to sleep for a while. Love you guys.]
