Chapter 150: Chapter 150: This Guy’s Self-Control Is That Strong?
"Shen Lingyin, stop messing around!"
Shen Lingxue really couldn’t take her sister’s antics anymore. She stood up and walked over.
When Shen Lingyin saw the fiery look in Jiang Xinghai’s eyes, she seemed to realize she’d gone too far and hastily stood properly to one side.
"Overall, you’re just so-so."
But Jiang Xinghai decided to knock her down a peg. "Don’t rush it. You’re only nineteen, after all. Take your time, you’re still developing."
"I..." Shen Lingyin sat on the sofa, pouting, and said nothing more.
But she had no intention of abandoning her plan.
She thought to herself, ’Are you impotent, or are you just not into women? We’ll see about that tonight!’
Jiang Xinghai glanced at Shen Lingyin, finding her personality quite similar to Feng Lulu’s.
’It might be good to introduce those two if I get the chance.’
’No!’
The moment that thought occurred to him, Jiang Xinghai immediately shook his head.
One Feng Lulu or one Shen Lingyin was already a major headache.
If those two got together, he was sure they could tear the world apart.
"Lingxue, I have to head out of town tonight. I came by specifically to let you know, so don’t wait up for me. Get some rest." This was the reason Jiang Xinghai had come back. He placed the BMW keys on the desk.
"Where are you going?"
This time, all three women in the room asked in unison.
"I’m heading to Central State. I might get back very late, or it might be tomorrow." Jiang Xinghai shrugged. "You don’t need to worry about my safety. That’s all there is to it."
"Aren’t you full of yourself."
Shen Lingyin was the first to get up and walk over to Jiang Xinghai. "Worried about your safety?"
"Xinghai, who’s going with you? Are you by yourself?" Shen Lingxue asked quietly.
"Ma Long. He offered to be my driver, so I couldn’t very well refuse." Jiang Xinghai gave a frank smile and glanced at Shen Lingyin.
’So much for no one being worried about me.’
"Be safe," Shen Lingxue said, getting up.
Su Yanyun also stood up and nodded silently.
To both of them, Jiang Xinghai was truly important.
"He’s a grown man; he won’t be in any danger. You two continue your chat, I’ll see him off."
For reasons unknown, Shen Lingyin took the initiative to link her arm with Jiang Xinghai’s. "Let’s go, Brother Xinghai."
"Then I’ll be in your hands, little sister Lingyin." The corner of Jiang Xinghai’s mouth curled up. He glanced back, exchanged a smile with Shen Lingxue and Su Yanyun, then turned and left.
"Lingyin! Mind your manners!" Shen Lingxue shot her an angry glare.
She really didn’t trust her sister.
"Lingxue, it seems like that sister of yours, Lingyin, is deliberately targeting Xinghai. Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Su Yanyun asked with a wry smile.
"You noticed too, huh? I’m so embarrassed I could die," Shen Lingxue said with an awkward laugh.
"Why are you so embarrassed? Come on, tell me what’s really going on." Su Yanyun’s interest was piqued.
Shen Lingxue knew Su Yanyun had special feelings for Jiang Xinghai, so she braced herself and told her about the hemorrhoids, and how Jiang Xinghai had been helping her apply ointment every night.
"Jiang Xinghai helps you apply ointment... there?"
Su Yanyun was completely shocked. "Such an intimate area... how could you... And Jiang Xinghai didn’t try anything?"
"He didn’t," Shen Lingxue replied, gently shaking her head.
’This guy’s self-control is that strong?’ Su Yanyun marveled silently.
"However, my body betrayed me at the time... I actually had a bit of a reaction right in front of him..."
Shen Lingxue’s voice became an inaudible mumble, and she walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window, her face beet red.
"So you’re saying your body betrayed you, and in the end, you two..." Su Yanyun, of course, understood the implication.
Shen Lingxue didn’t respond, which was a tacit admission.
"Actually, you two are a great match. I’m happy for you, Lingxue." Su Yanyun also walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Yanyun, you have to keep this a secret for me, okay? Not even my family knows," Shen Lingxue said softly.
"Don’t worry, I’m not the type to gossip." Su Yanyun gazed at Shen Lingxue’s profile with envy, genuinely happy for her best friend.
Shen Lingxue watched a black Land Rover speed away downstairs. "They’re gone. Let’s continue our talk."
"Okay." Su Yanyun glanced downstairs.
Downstairs, Shen Lingyin was staring blankly at the black Land Rover as it sped away, when a look of sudden realization crossed her face.
"I get it now!"
She broke into a run toward the elevator.
Then she burst into the CEO’s office. "Sis, I’ve figured it out! That guy Jiang Xinghai isn’t impotent—he’s gay! He’s definitely gay!"
"What makes you say he’s gay?" Shen Lingxue’s head began to throb.
"Jiang Xinghai and Ma Long! There’s definitely something going on between them!"
Shen Lingyin declared with absolute certainty, "They only met last night, and tonight they’re already planning a trip to Central State together. Aren’t they a little too eager!"
「At that same moment...」
"ACHOO!"
"ACHOO!"
Inside the black Land Rover, Jiang Xinghai and Ma Long sneezed at almost the exact same time.
"Brother Jiang, you don’t think someone’s bad-mouthing us behind our backs, do you?" Ma Long asked, a little dazed.
"You studied abroad and you still believe in that stuff?"
Jiang Xinghai gave a small smile, but then let out another series of sneezes. "Fine. If someone is, it’s definitely that girl Lingyin."
