"Mm~" Jiang Nansun nodded gently, "I just got back after helping her settle in."

Chen Cheng suddenly perked up, "Where is Zhang Anren's house?"

Jiang Nansun was a bit confused, "It's at..."

Chen Cheng raised his hand to check his watch, "Then it's still early."

His eyes darted around as he picked up his phone and made a call, "Check the relationship between Zhang Anren and Yuan Yuan for me."

"Mm, the lead architect for the Zen Data Center."

Jiang Nansun listened to him on the phone, her eyes widening. When Chen Cheng put down the phone, she asked incredulously:

"The Data Center project Zhang Anren is working on right now belongs to you?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "Mm~" He smiled, "Although I don't like Zhang Anren much, he is quite good at practical, cost-saving designs."

Jiang Nansun's lips twitched. Were you praising Zhang Anren or insulting him?

She blinked, "Do you usually investigate people like this?"

Chen Cheng gave her a look of annoyance, "Wasn't it you who wanted to know what their relationship is?"

Jiang Nansun immediately denied it, "I couldn't care less."

Chen Cheng smiled and didn't take the bait, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll give you a chance to treat me to dinner."

Jiang Nansun's eyes widened. She had seen shameless people, but never someone as shameless as him.

Directly asking a girl to treat you to a meal.

Jiang Nansun tilted her chin up, "On what grounds?"

"I'm helping you find out their relationship. Shouldn't you thank me?"

"Besides, calculate for yourself how many favors you owe me."

As he spoke, a wicked grin appeared on Chen Cheng's lips, "If you don't want to pay back with favors, paying with your body is also an option."

Jiang Nansun's mouth hung open. Angrily, she raised her hand and slapped Chen Cheng on the arm, "Go to hell!"

Chen Cheng curled his lip, "If you're not willing, then you're not willing. I even think they're too small anyway."

"Aaaahhh~"

"Chen Cheng!"

Jiang Nansun was poked in a sore spot and instantly went crazy, raising her hands to punch him twice more.

Afterward, she clenched her fists and glared at him huffily.

Seeing her puffed-up appearance, Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly.

Truth be told, a pouting lion was quite cute.

He raised an eyebrow and said to her, "Are you treating or not?"

"If not, I'm going to eat with my beautiful female secretary."

At the mention of Zou Yu, Jiang Nansun's eyes blinked.

When she first came in, she had noticed that woman in professional attire.

To be honest, she was quite beautiful, the type most men liked.

Jiang Nansun's eyes darted around, and she spoke somewhat bashfully:

"Um..."

"What?"

"Can we eat somewhere a bit cheaper?" As she spoke, Jiang Nansun's face turned red.

When eating with Zhu Suosuo, if she had no money, she could say without hesitation, "Let's eat wontons, my wallet is empty, heehee~"

But with Chen Cheng, she couldn't.

Chen Cheng was taken aback, but immediately thought of the Jiang Family's situation.

If Jiang Nansun was starting to pinch pennies, it meant the mountain was about to collapse.

Chen Cheng shrugged, indicating it didn't matter, "Then let's have rice noodles. Caiyun Rice Noodles, and I want the version with extra toppings."

Jiang Nansun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a smile curling on her lips, "Okay, add whatever you want."

Chen Cheng saved his code, and the two went downstairs.

Zou Yu had already left; Chen Cheng had seen it through the surveillance earlier.

Jiang Nansun looked at the empty living room, her eyes darting as she spoke, "Your secretary is quite pretty."

Chen Cheng threw the coat he was holding to her and then put on his shoes.

"Of course. If she wasn't pretty, it would be an eyesore to look at her all day."

Jiang Nansun immediately rolled her eyes at him, "Shallow. You men are just shallow."

After that, Jiang Nansun glanced at Chen Cheng and finally asked the question she was curious about, "You didn't bully her, did you?"

Chen Cheng took his coat back from her and nodded, "If there's work, the secretary does it; if there's nothing, I do the secretary. If you count it like that, then I suppose I bullied her."

Jiang Nansun's eyes widened, and she spat, "You!"

"Shameless!"

She gritted her teeth, "Disgusting!"

Actually, after spending time together, Jiang Nansun had grown somewhat accustomed to his constant flirtatious talk.

However, when Chen Cheng actually admitted to having that kind of relationship with that beautiful woman, Jiang Nansun felt a bit stifled.

Chen Cheng didn't mind. As he walked out, he smiled, "If it's disgusting, then spit it out."

"..."

Jiang Nansun was speechless. she had finally witnessed the thickness of this man's skin.

Chen Cheng pressed the key fob for the silver sports car at the courtyard gate, "Get in."

Jiang Nansun took a look and wasn't surprised, heading straight to the passenger door and getting in.

Meanwhile, Chen Cheng used his phone to send a message to Zou Yu.

[Take your sister shopping. The weather is getting cold, it's time to buy some pretty new clothes.]

He transferred a hundred thousand yuan to her and also opened a Family Card for her.

She had left without a word, clearly angry.

Chen Cheng could only use money to comfort her wounded soul.

As Chen Cheng sat in the car, he heard Jiang Nansun complaining while pointing at the fallen leaves on the windshield, "Doesn't your courtyard have a garage?"

"Why don't you park in the garage?"

Chen Cheng gave her a look. Why else? Laziness.

The roadside was much more convenient. Anyway, everyone in this alley parked like this. Everyone parked in front of their own door, and nobody took up extra space.

He smiled and started the engine, "It's fine. Once we drive out, the wind will blow these leaves away."

"Besides, don't you think fallen leaves are quite beautiful?"

Jiang Nansun was startled; she hadn't expected him to like fallen leaves.

However, the golden plane tree leaves were indeed quite pretty.

A smile curled on her lips as she teased Chen Cheng, "I didn't expect a playboy and time management master to have time to appreciate fallen leaves."

Chen Cheng's lips curled slightly. He didn't mind her words at all, but rather felt a bit smug.

You already know I'm a playboy and time management master, yet you still stay close to me.

You should really ask yourself what your intentions are.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Nansun blinked and started chatting casually.

"I think this is the first time I've seen you drive a sports car."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, "In the country, under my own name, I think this is the only sports car I have."

"I really don't like them much; sitting for a long time is uncomfortable."

Jiang Nansun immediately rolled her eyes at him, "You really know how to humblebrag."

"Others would love to have one, but you say," Jiang Nansun imitated Chen Cheng's tone, "Sitting for a long time is uncomfortable~"

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow with a wicked grin and turned to look at her, "Oh, you like doing it for a long time?"

Jiang Nansun didn't notice anything wrong with his words and simply shook her head, "Not really. Sitting for too long is indeed hard on the waist."

Chen Cheng had a smile on his face, "Then when we do it in the future, I'll try to control it to the time you like."

"What 'when we do it in the future...'" Jiang Nansun was a bit dazed. Are we even on the same wavelength?

After less than three seconds, Jiang Nansun realized what this rogue was talking about.

A flush immediately rushed to her face as she shouted at Chen Cheng, "Chen Cheng!"

"Are you not disgusted with yourself!"

"Hahahahaha~"

Seeing her red-faced, shy, girlish appearance, Chen Cheng couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Hmph~"

Jiang Nansun was helpless against him and let out a huffy, coquettish snort.
