Because Qiao Nuo caught a chill outside, upon returning to the Jin Mansion, she found that although Qiao Chen was also there, she needed to take a hot shower; otherwise, she would definitely catch a cold.
Thus, only Qiao Chen and Jin Chengyan remained in the living room.
"I don't like you being with my sister," the eighteen-year-old boy said seriously to the man who was almost ruthless in business, after Jin Chengyan brought Qiao Chen a cup of warm water.
When Qiao Chen first saw Jin Chengyan, she thought he was particularly unfriendly and definitely not suitable to be a husband.
"Even if you don't like it, I'm still with your sister," Jin Chengyan replied without caring about Qiao Chen's unreasonable attitude. At his age, he had been even more arrogant than Qiao Chen.
Qiao Chen felt somewhat defeated by Jin Chengyan's words. Looking at the calm expression on Jin Chengyan's face, it seemed that no matter how unreasonable he acted, this person would not show any emotional fluctuations.
"However, you have other women. Anyone who can be my sister's husband must be loyal to her. Otherwise, I won't let any man who harms her go!"
Jin Chengyan remained unconcerned, lounging comfortably on the sofa. "Then tell me, how do you plan to ensure that men who harm her won't escape your wrath?"
Qiao Chen was momentarily at a loss for words by Jin Chengyan's question.
"Qiao Chen, some things can't be solved with fists," Jin Chengyan pointedly remarked.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Qiao Chen's youthful face.
"As for your plan to confront Shen Fengye, do you really think that with his personality, he would just let things go? What you're doing will only bring unnecessary trouble to your sister."
He knows everything!
"You—investigated me!" Qiao Chen was furious. How could Jin Chengyan do this?
"If I hadn't sent someone to follow you, do you think you would be standing here safe and sound? Or would it be your sister visiting you in prison?"
Indeed, he knew it all!
The night before their father's funeral, Qiao Chen overheard his sister talking with Shen Fengye and discovered that Shen Fengye had been avoiding them after their family's bankruptcy because he had cheated on Ni Yue!
His sister had kept this from him, bearing all the pain alone!
Qiao Chen felt a pang of sympathy for his sister. After Huo Yawen and Qiao Nuo dropped him off at school that day, he went to find Shen Fengye.
He put a sack over Shen Fengye's head and beat him up!
However, Shen Fengye still recognized him as Qiao Chen.
He had once caused trouble for Qiao Chen, but after that one encounter, he hadn’t seen him again.
Qiao Chen thought Shen Fengye was just feeling guilty, so he didn’t take it to heart.
Little did he know, Jin Chengyan had intervened in this matter.
"You..." Qiao Chen felt a bit flustered; he had no idea how much Jin Chengyan really knew!
"Don't worry, I haven't told your sister. She doesn't need to know about such distressing matters," Jin Chengyan reassured him, his concern for the young man evident. However, he was also a bit too emotional and reckless.
If he truly wanted to teach someone a lesson, simply putting a sack over their head wouldn't suffice. Just making Shen Fengye stay in the hospital for a week wasn't enough.
It would be hard to quell the resentment in his heart unless Shen Fengye suffered significantly—perhaps staying in the hospital for a year or more.
Of course, Jin Chengyan didn't share these thoughts with Qiao Chen; he couldn't lead a young person astray.
"So, fists won't solve your problems. You need to wait until you are strong enough for those people to bow at your feet. At that point, you can look down on them with disdain," Jin Chengyan stated, sharing his survival philosophy.
After all, he was already standing on the shoulders of giants; his starting point was higher than others, and he had long possessed the means to look down on them.
The young Qiao Chen listened to the advice of this man at the pinnacle of success and seemed to grasp some of its meaning.
To resolve the resentment in his heart, fists were not the answer.
"But he hurt my sister! If I don't do something about it, I won't deserve to be her brother!"
"If you end up in jail for hitting Shen Fengye, won't your sister worry about you? Young man, are you really seeking revenge for yourself or trying to help your sister?" Jin Chengyan's words were frustratingly incisive.
Qiao Chen stood up, glaring at Jin Chengyan.
“I spoke to your heart, so you got angry, right? But it’s okay; your sister doesn’t know any of this, and I won’t tell her to worry her. When I’m with your sister, I won’t let her go through something like what happened with Shen Fengye again.” He knew clearly that he would never be the kind of person who cheats.
His goal had always been very clear, and Qiao Nuo was just someone who helped him.
So when he said those words, he didn’t feel the slightest bit inappropriate.
Qiao Chen felt like a child in front of Jin Chengyan, as if he had nowhere to hide. Jin Chengyan was truly a difficult person to deal with.
“If you dare to make my sister even a little sad, I won’t hesitate to solve it with my fists.”
*
When Qiao Nuo came out of the room, she found that Qiao Chen was gone.
“Where’s my brother?” Qiao Nuo worried about what Jin Chengyan and Qiao Chen might have said while she wasn’t there, so she hurriedly finished her shower. But now, Qiao Chen was nowhere to be found.
Only Jin Chengyan was in the living room, flipping through a magazine.
“He left.”
“I know he left! I’m asking why he left!” They hadn’t even exchanged a few words before Qiao Chen walked out. It just didn’t feel right.
“If he wants to leave, then he can leave. What can I do to stop him?”
“……” It seemed to be like this.
Qiao Nuo felt a bit deflated, casting a silent glance at Jin Chengyan before preparing to dry her hair. She had been busy earlier and her hair was still damp, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
Little did she know that as she walked into her room, Jin Chengyan followed her in. He leaned against the door frame, watching Qiao Nuo as she sat in front of the vanity.
Through the mirror, Qiao Nuo caught sight of Jin Chengyan but chose to ignore him. She took out the hairdryer, plugged it in, and the buzzing sound filled the room.
She could only see Jin Chengyan’s lips moving but couldn’t make out what he was saying.
Qiao Nuo had never learned lip reading, yet he chose to speak while she was drying her hair, clearly on purpose.
“...He wouldn’t do that...”
Qiao Nuo turned off the hairdryer, catching only those few words.
He wouldn’t do what?
Jin Chengyan was taken aback when Qiao Nuo suddenly switched off the hairdryer. Fortunately, he had finished saying everything he wanted to say.
He looked at her in her light pink loungewear, noticing how the back was slightly transparent due to her damp hair, revealing a hint of black underneath. Jin Chengyan felt a tightening in his throat, and an unintentional deepening of his expression crossed his face.
This woman… was completely unaware of how to restrain herself.
Qiao Nuo noticed the change in Jin Chengyan's expression, but she couldn't figure out what about her could provoke such a reaction from him.
What a creature driven by base instincts!
Suddenly, Qiao Nuo thought of something very important.
Since the day they became intimate, they hadn't taken any precautions for the past couple of days!
She jumped up abruptly, causing Jin Chengyan, who was approaching, to pause for a moment in surprise.
Then, Qiao Nuo turned to face him.
The slight look of astonishment on her face made Jin Chengyan feel restless. He didn't understand why he felt compelled to argue with her, yet every time he saw her, he just wanted to throw her onto the bed!
Just like now.
With her so close, Jin Chengyan pulled Qiao Nuo into his arms and kissed her delicate neck, feeling as if no amount of kissing would ever be enough.
It was only after meeting Qiao Nuo that Jin Chengyan realized how much he craved that kind of intimacy.
To his surprise, Qiao Nuo, who had accepted his advances before, began to push him away this time!
She resisted his kiss, not wanting it at all.
However, to Jin Chengyan, this felt like a hesitant invitation.
His hand slipped inside Qiao Nuo's clothing, his warm palm touching her trembling body, and it was undeniably pleasurable.
"Qiao Nuo..." he whispered her name, though he hadn't intended for things to go this way.
He had come in to talk to her about the rumors that had surfaced today—not that he was responsible for them. Although explaining it might not change Qiao Nuo's mind, not explaining would certainly lead her to distrust him.
Yet, how did they end up here?
"Jin Chengyan, I don't want this!" Qiao Nuo stifled a soft moan that threatened to escape her lips as she resisted him.
But Jin Chengyan did not stop his actions; in fact, he seemed to respond even more eagerly.
"Jin Chengyan, you didn't use protection the last two times, did you? You wouldn't want to find yourself looking for Ruan Shengyu with a child in tow when we get divorced!" Qiao Nuo's words made Jin Chengyan halt immediately.
He withdrew his hand from inside Qiao Nuo's clothing, feeling somewhat... defeated.
"We're both adults, and this is consensual. But a child? I don't want one brought into this situation. I refuse to take birth control pills, so you need to take precautions; otherwise, I won’t let you touch me," Qiao Nuo insisted firmly on this matter. "We've already done it twice without protection; I’ll only take the pill this once. Whether or not we use protection is up to you!"
Qiao Nuo declared this with remarkable conviction.
Jin Chengyan was genuinely taken aback by Qiao Nuo's assertive stance on their intimate relationship.
But it is undeniable that Jin Chengyan does not wish for the appearance of children at this moment.
"It seems you have quite a bit of experience in this area!"
"You..." Qiao Nuo felt inexplicably provoked by Jin Chengyan's deliberate taunt. What experience could she possibly have?
However, Jin Chengyan suddenly grasped Qiao Nuo's outstretched index finger and brought it to his lips, his tongue lightly licking it as if mimicking some action...
"Pervert!" Qiao Nuo yanked her hand back. Two days ago, she wouldn't have understood what Jin Chengyan was imitating, but after everything that had happened in those two days, how could she not know?
"Then shall we..." Jin Chengyan leaned closer, pinning Qiao Nuo between himself and the vanity. "Go buy a set together?"
His breath was warm against her ear, igniting a heat throughout her body. This man truly had maxed out his flirting skills!
"Before we go shopping, I need to do something else." Qiao Nuo met Jin Chengyan's fervor, her lips brushing against his ever so slightly.
