Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Glory From Below (27)

Ding-dong—

Jiang Liang first checked who it was outside through the peephole.

Seeing that it was Chuzheng standing there, he straightened his clothes before carefully opening the door.

Although his clear eyes didn’t hold their usual panic, there was still a trace of nervousness in them.

The girl with the cold expression glanced at him and asked calmly, “Have you had dinner yet?”

Jiang Liang shook his head.

“Ordered… takeout.”

Chuzheng, the domineering CEO, said, “You have five minutes to change clothes.”

The young man’s pale face showed a hint of confusion; his long eyelashes trembled as he stuttered, “…What for?”

“To eat.”

Jiang Liang’s expression changed instantly.

He instinctively shrank back into the door, feeling that inside was his safe zone.

“I… I don’t want to go out.” Jiang Liang really wanted to go out with her, but instinctively, he didn’t want to leave this place.

There are so many people when eating…

Just thinking about that scene made Jiang Liang feel uncomfortable all over.

“You have four minutes left,” Chuzheng said emotionlessly.

“…”

–

Jiang Liang followed Chuzheng into the restaurant.

The restaurant was very quiet; only a manager was leading them inside, where all the tables around were empty, and no other guests were seen.

It was the peak hour for dinner, which Jiang Liang found somewhat strange.

He knew this restaurant; Xia Mufan sometimes would pack food for him from here.

It was said to do good business…

Jiang Liang didn’t dare ask, his heart filling with trepidation as he followed Chuzheng into a private room.

“Please wait, we’ll serve the dishes immediately.”

Chuzheng pulled out a chair for Jiang Liang, gesturing for him to sit.

“Why is there no one?” Jiang Liang asked softly.

“I booked the entire place,” Chuzheng replied. “No one will bother you.”

Jiang Liang: “…”

Book… booked the entire place?

Just to let him have a meal out?

Perhaps because he had become somewhat familiar with Chuzheng, Jiang Liang wasn’t as uncomfortable as he was at first.

Nonetheless, he ate quietly with his head down during the meal, inexplicably cute.

Chuzheng didn’t eat much, and seeing this, Jiang Liang also didn’t feel right to continue eating, and he thought about putting down his chopsticks.

“Eat more,” Chuzheng said, picking up food for him with clean chopsticks.

Jiang Liang had no choice but to finish it.

But as Chuzheng kept serving him more, Jiang Liang didn’t dare to put down his chopsticks, worried that if he rejected her, she might get angry. In short, Jiang Liang thought about a bunch of messy things but just didn’t dare to speak up.

Estimating that Jiang Liang probably couldn’t eat any more, Chuzheng finally put down her chopsticks.

Jiang Liang secretly rubbed his stomach.

He felt a bit bloated.

“From now on, come out and have dinner with me at night,” Chuzheng said.

Jiang Liang was startled, “Every… every day?”

Chuzheng’s eyes were cold, “Do you have a problem with that?”

“…” Going out every day was a challenge for Jiang Liang.

But…

He really wanted to be with her.

Even if they did nothing, just being together made him very happy.

“Can we eat at home?” Jiang Liang peered tentatively at Chuzheng, “I’ll cook for you?”

Chuzheng refused without mercy, “No.”

“…”

Chuzheng didn’t force him to agree right away.

So Jiang Liang was torn.

Exiting the tranquil restaurant, the noise from the outside surged over like a tide.

Jiang Liang instinctively curled in on himself.

Chuzheng looked back at him, then turned around and took his hand that was hanging by his side.

Jiang Liang’s fingers were a bit cold, but when they touched Chuzheng’s warm palm, smooth and tender, her hand felt as if it had no bones.

Jiang Liang felt his heart was overburdened.

He was a little short of breath.

Chuzheng led him out of the restaurant.

The brilliant neon lights and the endless flow of traffic at night drew a breathtaking picture.

When Jiang Liang got back home, he was still a bit dazed, and Chuzheng took the opportunity to stroke his hair.

When Jiang Liang looked over, she immediately put on a serious face, “Stop playing games, goodnight.”

As Jiang Liang closed the door, he completely relaxed and excitedly jumped around in circles on the spot.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Xia Mufan.

——I went out to eat with her today.

——And then?

——She held my hand.

——…

Xia Mufan felt his guy was truly beyond help.

But she actually took it in?

Talking with her before, Xia Mufan felt she didn’t seem to care too much, even thinking Jiang Liang like this was quite good.

Xia Mufan thought it was better not to tell Jiang Liang that she already knew he was Jiang Liang from the game.

Otherwise, he guessed he would become withdrawn again.

–

The next day Chuzheng arrived at Jiang Liang’s doorstep on time and rang the bell.

Jiang Liang didn’t have any chance to refuse.

This time they changed to a different restaurant.

But it was still cleared out.

In the following days, Jiang Liang enjoyed the experience of dining in different restaurants booked out just for them every day.

He realized Chuzheng was really cold.

She didn’t speak much, but unlike him, she just wasn’t very fond of talking.

That day, after eating, Jiang Liang gathered his courage, “This is a waste of money, we shouldn’t go out…”

“Not eating would be the waste.”

Bastard, that damned guy, made me purchase a hundred different restaurants.

A hundred of them!

Different ones!

Many restaurants are franchises; is it even possible to buy them whenever you want?

“Ah?”

The youth’s deep blue, clear eyes were full of bewilderment.

Red lips slightly parted, a pink tongue peeking through them, seemingly inviting someone to taste without uttering a word.

Chuzheng kept a serious face.

Good Person Card seducing me!!

Chuzheng leaned forward and kissed the youth’s lips.

Jiang Liang stepped back, pressing his whole body against the door, staring at Chuzheng in shock.

“You… you…”

Jiang Liang felt his ability to speak had devolved to nonexistence.

His cheeks started to burn wave after wave, his ears even more so, and his whole being seemed to be catching fire.

Chuzheng’s hand propped beside him, she leaned in again.

The lips carrying a hint of warmth, soft as cotton, gently rolling over his own.

The girl’s enlarged face, reflected in Jiang Liang’s deep blue eyes, her skin smooth and delicate, exuding a fragrant scent that made his head spin.

She, she, she…

Chuzheng let go of him, her nose brushing his cheek, her breath spraying on his skin, bringing a tingling sensation.

“Goodnight.”

Chuzheng patted his head.

Jiang Liang’s hanging hand grabbed Chuzheng’s sleeve.

“I… I, I…”

Jiang Liang pinched himself hard.

“Take your time.”

The girl’s calm and tranquil voice soothed the chaos in Jiang Liang’s heart.

But he still didn’t dare to look at Chuzheng, his skin as white as porcelain now flushed with crimson.

It was as if he had made a major decision, “Can… can you like me?”

“If not… what would it take for you to like me?”

The youth seemed increasingly anxious towards the end, “I know… with me like this, you might not like it, but I will try hard to change.”

Xia Mufan said, no one would like someone like him.

No one would like someone who can’t even communicate properly.

Jiang Liang’s heart was incredibly tense.

“You…”

“Don’t say it,” Jiang Liang suddenly turned around, fumbling for his keys, opening the door in a fluster, “Tell me your answer tomorrow.”

He was afraid she would utter words of rejection.

The youth closed the door hastily.

“…Do you want to come to my place?” Chuzheng, in her guise of a domineering CEO, silently completed the sentence.
