Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot-Chapter 1150 - 678: Fifth Master’s Honest Scheming, Only Afraid Fourth Master Enters His Heart (Part 2)
"Didn’t you say I should stay out and have some fun?"
"..."
A certain old father did mention this; he was afraid that You Hongxian would bring that "ill-intentioned" man to linger too long at his home, so he specifically reminded her when she left.
[It’s rare to go out with friends, and it’s the weekend, so you can stay out a bit longer.]
He never expected these words would become a reason for his daughter to block his retort.
Fuming inside, yet unable to lose face in front of his daughter, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come home early. If you need anything, let me know in advance, and I’ll send someone to pick you up."
"Okay."
After dealing with her father, she noticed that quite a few people were gathering around in groups of threes and fives, chatting while discreetly eyeing her.
"Are you familiar with Master Four?" A woman with long curly hair, flaming red lips, and a stunning figure stood beside her, dressed thinly despite the cold weather.
"Sort of." She pressed her lips together, her gaze landing on the woman’s bare ankles, which were turning bluish from the cold.
"It’s the first time Master Four has brought a girl over, so everyone’s curious. Are you his girlfriend?"
"No." She shook her head, the sunset casting long shadows down the mountains, and Jiang Chengsi had been gone for over twenty minutes—wasn’t it supposed to be just ten?
The woman was a bit surprised; was there no connection, yet Master Four treasured her so much?
"You’re so pretty, you must have a lot of admirers. Do you have a boyfriend?"
She shook her head, not very willing to talk to her.
The woman’s intent was obvious; she just wanted to inquire about her relationship with Jiang Chengsi, hoping to pry some information from her.
Out and about, she still had some discernment; the girl in front of her looked soft and gentle but wasn’t a naive sweetheart. No matter how she prodded, she couldn’t even find out her surname, let alone other private details.
She spoke skillfully, smiling as she gently deflected the attempted probes.
She seemed soft but was quite perceptive, so when she went back, everyone gathered around her, asking who the girl was.
She only smiled:
"Anyway, she’s not on the same path as us. Anyone who can catch Master Four’s eye certainly isn’t ordinary." She had self-awareness; some people were best left unprovoked. "I didn’t find out anything."
"Didn’t learn anything? So tight-lipped?" another woman, arriving later, kept observing her.
"I didn’t see anything special about her; maybe she’s just prettier. With that soft and weak demeanor, she’d probably be scared to tears if Master Four took her racing."
"Why would Master Four like such a delicate girl? Does she deserve him?"
"Maybe she knows how to be coy and act weak; that’s what men fall for."
...
The girl with the flaming lips also knew the woman in front of her had a bit of money at home, was proud, and reportedly got into cars because she liked Jiang Chengsi.
Jiang Chengsi was very popular with the ladies in the circle.
He liked to have fun but did so cleanly, never behaving inappropriately with young women. Even if a girl was taken out by others, he wouldn’t look at them through tinted lenses.
Nor would he, like some other men, get a bit drunk and start getting handsy or making lewd jokes.
Who wouldn’t like someone like Jiang Chengsi? But they also knew they weren’t a match, so they wouldn’t deliberately pursue him.
Yet in this circle, many had feelings for him.
Jiang Chengsi had no women around him; everyone was unconcerned, figuring if they couldn’t have him, no one else could either.
Now it was different; a girl appeared, and many were displeased. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
It felt like someone who could have been theirs was snatched away, and they looked at "Miss Xiao" with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
In the deep winter sky, the sun was always low, and the cold wind was becoming increasingly rampant.
The man who had just greeted Jiang Chengsi saw the wind picking up and went over to her, "Master Four hasn’t returned, would you like to wait in our car? It’s quite cold outside."
"No, thank you."
"Don’t worry, we aren’t bad people."
The people brought by Jiang Chengsi wouldn’t dare make trouble even with ten times the courage.
Getting a bit closer, he realized the girl was truly beautiful, with a lovely, clean voice—no wonder Master Four wasn’t interested in other women.
Her kind of charm seemed to emanate from her bones; she wore almost no makeup, yet her beauty was pure. Others standing next to her seemed somewhat vulgar.
It echoed that saying:
Beauty lies in the bones, not the skin.
"It’s really cold outside, and Master Four has been gone a long time. In the car, you can turn on the heater. If you catch a cold, Master Four will surely blame us," he said with a smile.
