Chen Cheng curled the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded gently, "Then let's go home."

After speaking, he walked to the passenger side, opened the car door, leaned over, and gently placed her in the passenger seat.

Jiang Nansun blushed, clenched her fists, and held her breath as she watched Chen Cheng's every move.

Chen Cheng reached over, pulled the seatbelt, leaned in, and clicked it into the buckle.

Watching this scene, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but picture the scene from idol dramas where the male lead fastens the seatbelt for the female lead and then kisses her lips.

At this moment, Jiang Nansun kept picking at her index finger with her thumb, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Chen Cheng, having mastered the essence of "scum" ways, certainly didn't disappoint her.

He reached out with his right hand to touch her thin lips, then kissed her again.

Only this time, it was more of a fleeting taste.

The moment their lips parted, a sudden feeling of loss washed over Jiang Nansun.

Watching Chen Cheng walk around the front of the car to the driver's seat, Jiang Nansun took a deep breath to barely suppress the fluttering in her heart.

Along the way, Chen Cheng drove the ferrari with one hand while holding Jiang Nansun's fair, delicate hand with his right.

Her palms were getting a little sweaty from him holding her hand, but a smile remained on her face, which was flushed with shyness as she glanced at Chen Cheng driving from time to time.

After looking for a while, she wasn't as shy as before, just a bit dazed in her gaze.

Chen Cheng drove the car back to Fuxing Road. After turning off the engine, Jiang Nansun glanced in the direction of her home and swallowed hard.

Returning from the outer ring road, they had been driving at full speed, yet it still took over half an hour.

Chen Cheng turned off the engine and got out of the car without a word. He walked to the passenger side, opened the door, and swept Jiang Nansun, who had already unbuckled her seatbelt, into his arms.

Cuddled in Chen Cheng's arms, Jiang Nansun's whole body went soft; she was incredibly nervous.

Chen Cheng lowered his head and smiled at her, "Hold on tight, I'm going to open the door."

Jiang Nansun finally came to her senses and reached out to wrap her arms tightly around his neck.

Chen Cheng quickly punched in the code to enter the courtyard, went inside without even taking off his shoes, and stomped up to the second floor.

Once in the bedroom, Chen Cheng kissed Jiang Nansun's red lips.

Jiang Nansun responded clumsily.

After a long while, Jiang Nansun looked up at Chen Cheng, who was towering over her, with a flushed, pitiful face. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzzing, "I... I'm a little scared."

At this moment, Chen Cheng instantly transformed into the Big Bad Wolf seducing Little Red Riding Hood, his eyes full of tenderness as he raised his hand to gently stroke her fair cheek.

He said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll be very gentle."

Jiang Nansun was both expectant and fearful. She swallowed to ease her nervousness and nodded gently, "Mm~"

Scum Cheng smiled and kissed her red lips again.

...

At this moment, a poem should be recited.

Phoenix hair bun with gold mud ribbons, dragon-patterned jade comb.

She walks under the window, laughing and leaning on him, asking if her painted eyebrows are in style today?

Playing with the brush while leaning on him for a long time, trying her hand at drawing flowers for the first time.

Idly neglecting her embroidery work, she laughs and asks how to write the two characters for mandarin ducks?

That night, Jiang Nansun slept more soundly than ever before.

It was painful, but also very satisfying.

The next day, for the first time in a long while, Chen Cheng made breakfast himself.

Oh no, it should be brunch, it was already past ten o'clock.

However, the little lazy pig Jiang Nansun hadn't woken up yet.

Chen Cheng had just turned off the stove and was about to go upstairs to call Jiang Nansun when the doorbell rang.

Chen Cheng walked to the entrance, glanced at the monitor, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Why is he here?"

Jiang Pengfei was standing at the gate of Chen Cheng's courtyard in a suit and leather shoes, looking a bit anxious, glancing left and right, and stamping his feet from time to time.

Chen Cheng was stunned. Could it be that Jiang Nansun didn't go back last night and was caught by Jiang Pengfei?

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. He couldn't have found out that he just slept with his daughter last night and come to his door to fight, right?

*Gulp~*

Even Chen Cheng, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, felt a little nervous.

He let out a breath to regain his composure before pressing the door-opening button.

He put on a smile, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard to welcome his new "cheap father-in-law."

As soon as Jiang Pengfei saw Chen Cheng, he immediately beamed and walked over quickly, "Oh, little Chen, I've finally found you."

Chen Cheng went up to meet him, raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Uncle Jiang, what's so urgent that you're looking for me?"

As soon as he spoke, Chen Cheng knew it wasn't about Jiang Nansun, but about stocks!

It seems I have to take the blame for Princess Jiang.

Chen Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Why is my life so hard?"

"This..." Jiang Pengfei looked embarrassed, a bit shy to say it out loud.

Chen Cheng immediately understood, "Uncle Jiang, please come in. If there's something to discuss, let's sit inside and talk slowly."

Jiang Pengfei immediately smiled. This young man was sensible, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes~ yes~"

While walking inside, Jiang Pengfei began to talk about how hard it was to find Chen Cheng, "Little Cheng, it's really not easy to catch you at home. Uncle has been here several times already."

Chen Cheng was taken aback. Doesn't that mean he's been plotting against him for more than a day or two?

Chen Cheng gave a forced laugh, "I'm usually busy, I'm not always around."

"Maybe Uncle Jiang didn't come at the right time before."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Chen Cheng led him to sit on the sofa.

"Uncle, what kind of tea would you like to drink?"

Jiang Pengfei waved his hand quickly, "No rush, no rush, it's noon, and Uncle isn't thirsty."

Chen Cheng knew he was here to ask about something, so naturally, he didn't insist on making him tea.

He sat on the single sofa and looked at Jiang Pengfei with a calm expression, "Uncle, what brings you here today?"

Jiang Pengfei gave a forced laugh, "Haha~ it's like this."

"Didn't I hear from Nansun, Little Chen... oh no, I should call you Chairman Chen."

"I heard from Nansun that Chairman Chen works in private equity and has a lot of research on stocks. Even those arrogant speculators have to call Chairman Chen a 'genius'."

Chen Cheng curled the corners of his mouth. This was both bringing up Jiang Nansun and buttering him up.

It seems Jiang Pengfei's leverage is about to collapse.

Chen Cheng waved his hand, "Oh, Uncle Jiang, you're exaggerating. Actually, it's all luck, all luck."

"Uncle Jiang, we're neighbors after all, why don't we get straight to the point and talk about what's going on?"

A flash of embarrassment crossed Jiang Pengfei's face, and he nodded with a forced smile, "Yes~ then I'll speak directly?"

Chen Cheng nodded, "Yes, please go ahead."

"Ahem~" Jiang Pengfei cleared his throat, "It's like this, Uncle has a few stocks in hand, didn't operate them well, and got trapped."

"I'd like to ask Chairman Chen to help me take a look and see if there's any way to get out of the trap."

As he said this, he handed his phone to Chen Cheng with an awkward smile.

Chen Cheng took the phone and quickly scanned the stocks Jiang Pengfei had bought.

He was practically a jinx in the industry; all 5 targets he chose were landmines.

They were either small-cap manipulated stocks worth only three or four billion, or ones starting with ST.

Even the largest target didn't exceed 10 billion in market cap.

It's not that you absolutely can't trade small-caps.

But the smaller the cap, the easier it is to be manipulated by market makers.

His holding cost was also terrifyingly high; it was a typical case of chasing the rise and killing the fall.

Looking at his timing for buying in, Chen Cheng seriously suspected that Jiang Pengfei might have joined some stock trading group.

The kind where you have to post your transaction records to stay in the group.

Also, Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that Li Yifan who went on a blind date with Jiang Nansun, and wondered what kind of character he really was.

A stock commentator... Heh~

I'm afraid he's treating Jiang Pengfei like a top-tier "big brother" to be fleeced.
