Chapter 36.2: The Jiang Clan Makes a Comeback

　　Liang Jingche’s gaze swept over him and questioned, “You seem very excited?”

　　Upon hearing his question, the secretary shook his head like a rattle. “No, no. I just somewhat like Qiao Jinye’s works, and he is merely half my idol. That’s all, I promise.”

　　It was only then did Liang Jingche regain his composure.

　　“Well…… If he is merely her high school classmate and childhood friend, why do you say that he has no chance at all?”

　　Liang Jingche pursed his thin lips slightly. “They did not get together when their hormones were at their strongest, so it is improbable that they will be in a relationship now. Hence, it is evident that Jiang Dai is not interested in your idol.”

　　Confused, the secretary continued to question, “If that’s the case, why are they still working together? Didn’t Qiao Jinye become one of Bao Li’s shareholders some time ago? Their cooperation will be of a greater degree.”

　　Liang Jingche answered, “It is merely a professional relationship. Jiang Dai makes a clear distinction between her work and private life, so why would she place personal feelings into business?”

　　Upon hearing that, the secretary was rendered speechless. Hey, boss, please wake up. You are also only one of Miss Jiang’s business partners whom she has no feelings for, alright?

　　The more he mulled over it, the more uneasy Huo Rongshen felt. Previously, Shenli advised him to slow down and take a progressive approach of reflecting and changing himself before attempting to woo Jiang Dai with a brand new self and start all over again.

　　Although his advice did sound very logical, things were progressing a little too slow for his liking. After all, he was afraid his pace was slower than others. When that time came, it would be far too late for him to do anything. 

　　Not to mention, he had once been in a relationship with Jiang Dai. When it came to someone who captivated Jiang Dai, she would display active enthusiasm, and things would develop exponentially. 

　　Never in his life would Huo Rongshen forget that very night——it was the summer vacation when Jiang Dai was about to enter her third year in university.

　　At that point, he had known Jiang Dai for over eight months and entered into a romantic relationship for approximately half a year.

　　Whenever she had no plans for the summer vacation, Jiang Dai always loved to tag along with him. As long as he was in Yanjing, they had to go on a date if he had no urgent events to attend at night. When she was most clingy, she would go as far as to drive to his office at noon to have lunch with him.

　　That night, they had Kaiseki cuisine for dinner before going for a drive to the beach.

　　Huo Rongshen had always had a fantastic sense of time, so he would always have sent Jiang Dai home at around 11 at night.

　　However, after boarding the car on this night, Jiang Dai suddenly asked in a low voice, “The sea breeze feels absolutely amazing, so much so that I don’t even feel sleepy at all. I want to stay up all night so let’s watch some films at your place?”

　　Upon hearing that, Huo Rongshen was rendered speechless. Back then, he had recently returned to the country, so he had been living in a massive luxurious apartment alone. It was tranquil as he did not even have any servants around.

　　Also, it was not like Jiang Dai had not been to his home. However, it was just that she had never gone over to his place at 11 at night.

　　Even though he had no dating experience, he was still, after all, a man. What’s more, he had gone abroad to Country M for his education in his teens. At one point, he had once shared a house with a classmate for a couple of months. Since the romantic relationships of his peers tend to be open, his roommate would often bring over girls to stay overnight. In just several months, he had changed no less than twenty girls, who were of different ages, height, weight, and even skin color…… 

　　All of a sudden, Jiang Dai requested to go to his place.

　　Hearing her request, he had a moment of doubt before he gradually became nervous inwardly for a while.

　　After entering his house, it seemed as though Jiang Dai had indeed wanted to watch a film as she put an award-winning horror film that was supposed to be exceptionally terrifying on his TV. Yet, he felt that it was insipid and lacked a frightening setting.

　　Whereas for Jiang Dai, she was staring at the screen as if watching the film intently. 

　　For some unknown reason, he felt somewhat disappointed at this sight.

　　Without warning, Jiang Dai covered her mouth with her hand and let out a yawn. “What a bore. This film isn’t even worth watching.”

　　After saying so, she turned the TV off and used a remote to switch off all the lights in the living room.

　　The huge living room was plunged into darkness except for the moonlight streaming in from the windows.

　　Jiang Dai stood up and bent down to put her arms around his neck before sitting in his lap.

　　Everything occurred with traces of innocence and inept, yet there was no lack of romance and excitement.

　　Immediately right after, he reversed their positions, not allowing Jiang Dai to act so ostentatiously on him for too long.

　　However, he would never forget how innocent and seductive Jiang Dai looked for all his life.

　　That year, she had yet to turn 20…… 

　　Recalling this memory, Huo Rongshen could not refrain from sucking in a few shuddering breaths.

　　If he were to say the degree of Jiang Dai’s ineptness in those years was 98%, her charisma would be 100%.

　　At present, Jiang Dai was nearly 23…… Her proficiency was as high as 98%, while her charisma had reached 2,000%.

　　With that thought in mind, he suddenly felt his blood pressure surged forth, and his blood vessels were about to burst.

　　Without further ado, Huo Rongshen grabbed his phone and made a call.

　　Chen Mu answered, “President Huo, how may I help you?”

　　“Make arrangements for me to fly to Zurich next Tuesday.”

　　Upon hearing his instructions, Chen Mu was startled for a moment before reporting his schedule promptly. “As previously planned, you are supposed to be flying to Country H to attend an important event next Tuesday, where numerous royal families have been invited to attend. What’s more, this event is an annual affair, so it is more import-……”

　　“Cancel it.”

　　When his boss used an authoritative tone like that, Assistant Chen had no choice but to nod his head. “Alright, I understand. However, we would usually have to make a reservation for private jets one week in advance. Now, there are only 48 hours left before Tuesday, so I’m afraid it may be too late. Since you are planning to accompany Young Madame, would you like to take the same flight as her?”

　　Huo Rongshen pondered over those thoughts and answered, “No, make arrangements for other flights that will allow me to reach earlier than Jiang Dai.”

　　Initially, he wanted to go with Jiang Dai as it was something crucial that concerned her dad. However, Shenli advised that all he had to do was to help her and for him not to show up too often. 

　　If it were not for the fact that he discovered two other men who were eager for action, he would never have thought of appearing so impatient.

　　Looking through the schedule again, Chen Mu notified, “If that’s the case, I will arrange for a chartered plane that will be flown by a private airline. That way, the flight duration will be somewhat shorter, and you will ultimately be arriving earlier than Miss Jiang. Also, there will not be too much of a delay to your current work.”

　　……

　　Jiang Dai had only done a single thing in the afternoon, which was to reprimand her security guards.

　　The security captain explained tearfully that the car was exactly the same as the one Mr. Liang had used to send her back last night, and he was told that Miss Jiang had left her tablet in the car. That was why they had opened the door and permitted him to enter.
