Jiang Nansun looked all blustery, but as soon as she stepped out of the private room, she wilted. Forget about making a sound; she didn't even dare to run, terrified of attracting attention.

Awkward.

Chen Cheng walked out of the restaurant, glanced left and right, and saw the Jiang Family couple standing in front of their car with Li Yifan, talking about something in the distance.

Jiang Nansun, who had followed him out, saw him scrutinizing something and followed his gaze. "What are you looking at?"

Before Chen Cheng could say anything, Jiang Nansun had already seen them and hurriedly pushed Chen Cheng. "Let's go, quickly."

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth as he raised his arm and wrapped it around Jiang Nansun's shoulder.

Jiang Nansun quickly leaned back in a tactical maneuver to break free, but the large hand on her shoulder was like an iron clamp, and she couldn't budge it at all.

She huffed and growled at Chen Cheng, "You're acting like a hooligan again!"

Chen Cheng was clearly not deterred by her feeble verbal threat; his left hand even provocatively hooked her clearly defined, smooth chin.

"Princess Jiang, go ahead and scream, yell for help."

"You!" Jiang Nansun was choked with anger, feeling that she would have been better off being caught by Old Jiang and questioned about everything.

Seeing her so angry she couldn't speak, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Chen Cheng's mouth.

He draped his arm around Princess Jiang's fragrant shoulder and walked toward his car.

Jiang Nansun struggled twice, then resigned herself to her fate.

She didn't look at the road the entire time, just stared at Chen Cheng's handsome profile, slowly drifting into a daze.

Watching his Adam's apple bob with his steps, Jiang Nansun unconsciously swallowed.

She had never realized that a man's Adam's apple could be so sexy.

When they reached the car, Chen Cheng unlocked it and stuffed Jiang Nansun into the passenger seat.

Jiang Nansun was completely dazed; she couldn't even remember how she got into the car.

Only when she heard the sound of the engine starting did Jiang Nansun snap back to reality.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she pulled on her seatbelt.

At this moment, Chen Cheng's voice rang out, "Aren't you going to say something to them?"

"Oh," Jiang Nansun finally remembered to send a message to Dai Yin.

Chen Cheng looked at Jiang Nansun's flushed face, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he shifted gears and drove out of the parking lot.

He let Jiang Nansun set the navigation herself, and only after confirming it wasn't the place where Xiao Ye was performing did he feel at ease driving toward their destination.

They hadn't gone far when Jiang Nansun suddenly spoke up, "Suo Suo said she wants to rest early. She has many training courses to attend tomorrow, so she won't be coming."

Huh?

Chen Cheng paused, confused. That shouldn't be right. He blinked and asked, "How did you tell her?"

Jiang Nansun was a bit confused and shrugged, "I just asked her, 'Do you want to go to a livehouse for a while?' and she replied with this."

Chen Cheng's eyes lit up. Woman, you've already subconsciously started holding back from your best friend.

But Jiang Nansun didn't know that at this moment, Zhu Suosuo was pacing back and forth in the alley on Fuxing Road.

She was also glancing toward the direction of Chen Cheng's small courtyard from time to time.

In the afternoon, it took a long time for Zhu Suosuo to calm down from the excitement brought by the commission.

She asked Aiper how many deals she had closed since she started working.

After doing the math, she finally realized that for the apartment Chen Cheng bought, even with the best of luck, she would need to close 260 similar big deals to earn enough for it.

Everyone in the sales department knew she had closed a big deal, and the messages congratulating her and asking her to treat them to a meal were endless.

After replying to the messages, Zhu Suosuo chatted a bit more with Aiper.

Because Zhu Suosuo was clear about her own positioning; in the sales department, she was benchmarking herself against Aiper.

What Yang Ke wanted her to do was to become the next Aiper.

Zhu Suosuo asked Aiper if it was possible to earn enough to buy such an apartment in this lifetime by working in sales.

Aiper responded with three eye-rolls and seven words.

[Not in this lifetime]

Having seen those two apartments, having seen the scenery in front of those floor-to-ceiling windows.

The desires that Zhu Suosuo had originally set aside after finding a job were now growing wildly like weeds.

She had completely figured it out.

On Chen Cheng's side, he began to turn up the intensity on Jiang Nansun.

"So, are you still going?"

Jiang Nansun pondered for two seconds, then lifted her proud chin, revealing her elegant swan neck.

"Go, of course I'm going."

Chen Cheng's mouth lifted slightly. He thought for a moment, pulled the car over to the side of the road, and made a call to Chen Guosheng.

Chen Cheng put down his phone, and Jiang Nansun looked at him in surprise. "You asked someone to get a guitar? You can sing too?"

Chen Cheng smiled mysteriously. "Your buddy is wealthy and talented; what's so strange about that?"

"Uh..." Jiang Nansun was at a loss for words.

This guy was so good at stock trading, played tennis so well, and now he could play guitar and sing. Calling him talented and versatile didn't seem like an exaggeration.

After more than half an hour, the two arrived at the place Jiang Nansun had found.

She made a call, and soon someone came to take them inside.

Chen Cheng teased Jiang Nansun, "You've got some connections."

"Of course," Jiang Nansun said, tossing her head proudly.

As they walked in, Jiang Nansun suddenly turned her head and looked over Chen Cheng's outfit. "Can you even dance in this outfit at a club?"

Chen Cheng was wearing a black knit sweater on top, with a brown overcoat over it.

The lower half was mainly business-casual, with black casual trousers paired with black leather shoes.

Chen Cheng didn't care. "Who said I was going to dance?"

After speaking, he retorted, "How much better is your outfit?"

Jiang Nansun was wearing a dark coffee-colored wool suit, with a beige knit sweater underneath and a pair of black high boots on her feet.

The suit was designed to make her legs look long, with a high hemline, and the skirt was quite short, revealing her fair, beautiful legs beneath the hem.

Jiang Nansun huffed coquettishly, "I'm fine, I can dance."

Chen Cheng laughed in annoyance and ignored her.

A staff member led the two to the designated booth.

At ten o'clock, it was just the time when the livehouse started getting lively.

Jiang Nansun glanced at the drink menu and asked Chen Cheng what he wanted to drink. "Do you want anything? Alcohol, alcoholic beverages, or whatever; they have it all here."

"Whatever, anything is fine. Mineral water is fine too."

Chen Cheng didn't really care what he drank; he just saw a band on stage and got excited again, eager to give it a try.

Yeah, singing can be addictive too.

Jiang Nansun quickly ordered two alcoholic beverages.

The two sat side by side on high stools, watching the band performing on stage, and Jiang Nansun blinked.

"How about I take you to see the Unconditional Surrender band next time? That would count as returning both of your favors?"

Chen Cheng had an expression like he had seen a ghost. "What band?"

"Unconditional Surrender, they've been really popular lately."

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. Take Jiang Nansun to see Xiao Ye?

This scene was somewhat bizarre.

Chen Cheng casually brushed it off. "Sure, when I have time."

"Haven't you heard of them?" Jiang Nansun asked suspiciously.

Chen Cheng nodded faintly. "I've heard of them."

"That's good then," speaking of her favorite band, Jiang Nansun got excited, clapping for the band on stage while talking incessantly.

"They recently released a new song called 'Take Me to Find Nightlife', I think it's super good."

"Chen Jianan, who writes songs for Xiao Ye, is really super talented."

"Have you heard of Chen Jianan?"
