Chapter 55: A Virtuous Goddess

  Traces of a love triangle gradually permeated deep into the late summer night……? 

  Even if Jiang Dai was indeed an oblivious straight woman, she could still detect hints of it somewhat.

  It was just that it came so suddenly that it caught her completely off guard, so much so that she had no idea how she should respond to his question.

  What’s more, he had done so in front of a little girl.

  Even though Liang Zhenyu might be turning twenty soon, she was still a child in Jiang Dai’s eyes.

  Unwittingly, Jiang Dai had always regarded herself as Liang Jingche’s peer, so his sister, who was ten years younger, would naturally be deemed a child.

  To have talked about these matters in the presence of a child had indeed crossed the line.

  With that in mind, she wrenched herself from Qiao Jinye’s grasp. As she spoke reasonably unceremoniously, Jiang Dai’s eyes swept over the two men in front of her. “Alright, that’s enough! I’ve driven myself to this place today, so why should I take either of your cars?”

  After everything she had undergone, her recent ordeals had significantly worsened her social anxiety disorder.

  Now that Jiang Dai had left, Liang Zhenyu was able to sense the two men eyeing each other, which she found to have a strangulating effect.

  At the same time, her gut was telling her that she should say something to alleviate the awkwardness since one was her current boss and the other was her elder brother, after all. Although their fates of being love rivals had already been sealed, shouldn’t they at least maintain a superficial rapport?

  However, tidal waves of nervousness washed over her continuously. Regardless of how hard she attempted, she was still unable to articulate a single word.

  Fortunately, her elder brother could not have decided to speak at a less opportune moment, saving her from the predicament. “Daidai doesn’t seem to be aware of your feelings for her, Mr. Qiao.”

  Upon hearing that, Qiao Jinye’s eyes darkened somewhat. He could discern a seemingly calmness in the other’s tone, as well as how their words merely appeared to be easing his distress on the surface. Yet, the underlying message could be interpreted as a provocation.

  However, he was not entirely sure whether the other was truly trying to taunt him.

  In order to balance it up, Qiao Jinye decided to respond to him drily. “That’s right, Jiang Dai and I might only be friends right now, but we’ll soon move on to the next stage. If I’m not mistaken, either you should be in the same situation as I am, or she has rejected your love confession. So….you don’t seem to have the advantage over me.”

  Even though Qiao Jinye was very straightforward, there were no traces of belligerence between them. Yet, they somehow painted a picture of two elementary straight men standing together to discuss an academic question. While neither of them had been successful thus far, one would still discriminate against the other.

  With a smile that was not quite a smile, Liang Jingche questioned, “Not once has Daidai ever turned me down, but could it be that you have been rejected before, Mr. Qiao?”

  Without a flicker in demeanor, Qiao Jinye answered, “Of course not.”

  Not to be outdone, Liang Jingche continued, “It’s true that I’ve yet to pour my heart out to her, and quite frankly, she doesn’t seem to pay much attention to anything related to love and romance. So, would it be a figment of your imagination when you brazenly declared that it was inevitable for both of you to move on to the next stage?”

  “…………” As Liang Jingche hurled remarks at him, Qiao Jinye’s face took on an increasingly ghastly expression. Even so, he was quick enough to respond in kind instantly. “Please don’t feel obliged to worry about private matters between Jiang Dai and me. Since I’ve been friends with Jiang Dai for so many years, I know her well, and taking things slow is the most appropriate method.”

  Remaining in place, Liang Zhenyu watched the two men quietly……

  Sometimes she would turn her head to the left, and at other times, she would tilt her head to the right.

  Oh my god, she was pretty much on the verge of passing out. Yet, these two still looked so calm???

  On top of that, they were still portentously exploring the issue of wooing the same woman?!

  So, what was next? Were they planning to conduct a seminar to share their experiences and analyze their mistakes?

  Liang Jingche, as usual, continued to chuckle, “You certainly do make a fair point, but as a friendly reminder, not once have I ever attempted to conceal my admiration for Jiang Dai. So, don’t blame me for surpassing you if you don’t move quick enough.”

  As he said so, Qiao Jinye could sense a feeling of constriction in the chest. Yet, he was unwilling to bring himself to admit that what the other had uttered was the truth.

  Whenever something like this were to occur, he would always feel wholeheartedly grateful to have given up the life of a pampered youngster to make his debut and undergo hardships along the way. With these few years of work experience under his belt, he was fortunate to have developed a habit of remaining calm and rational.

  If it had been during his high school days, he would have already begun rolling up his sleeves.

  With that in mind, the corners of Qiao Jinye’s lips quirked up. “Thanks for the reminder, but neither of us is Jiang Dai’s viable partner nor possesses any form of status. Hence, we will have to fly by the seat of our pants whether our execution moves at a fast or slow pace.”

  Without a moment’s delay, Liang Jingche responded with a stately bearing, “Yes, that would be the case. As long as Daidai doesn’t remarry, all outstanding males have a chance. As the saying goes, a virtuous goddess is an exemplary match for a gentleman.” 

  “…………” No matter how hard he attempted to compose himself, this conversation still put Qiao Jinye out of sorts.

  All that Liang Jingche had uttered might appear refined and courteous on the surface, but in actual fact, his caustic remarks would somehow hit a nerve. All in all, Qiao Jinye did not wrap himself in a petty illusion of Liang Jingche uttering nice words.

  Taking that into consideration, Qiao Jinye could no longer contain himself somewhat and sneered, “As a man, I have no liking for a swift pursuit of love.”

  Upon hearing such an utterance, Liang Jingche stared about him in a dazed manner for a moment before making a snort of derision.

  Without further conveyance, Qiao Jinye turned and gave chase in the apparent direction of the parking lot.

  Meanwhile, poor Little Liang remained in place, feeling much aggrieved.

  As for Liang Jingche, his gaze followed the other man’s receding figure from behind. Only after he disappeared from view did Liang Jingche lower his head to look at his little sister. “What are you thinking about?”

  “……” Liang Zhenyu answered worriedly, “Are you really my brother? Why does it seem like I can’t make any sense of your actions?”

  Liang Jingche lifted his hand to pet her head and stated, “It’s perfectly normal for you not to understand grown-up stuff.”

  For a moment, Liang Zhenyu stood unspeaking as she thought inwardly of how fond she was of Qiao Jinye. Not only was it due to him taking good care of her ever since she joined Qiao Yi, but it was because she had witnessed his journey of becoming the center position since the beginning of his debut. That year could have been described as fruitful as Qiao Jinye pioneered the boy group trend in Country A, so countless trainees would idolize seniors who had debuted early, like Brother Ye.

  However, her elder brother’s actions were somewhat bewildering. Not only was she unwilling to warn him, but she also did not have the heart to bring it up.

  After a moment of hesitation, she still decided to be honest. “Why did you goad Brother Ye into doing something about this, Brother? Sure, he might be a little apathetic, but this is also due to their relationship as classmates. After all, they’ve always had a completely pure brotherly love. Even if he wishes to change it out of the blue, he’d still have to do it a step at a time. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too awkward for them if this freaked Sister Dai out? Besides, what’s the good of goading him? There’s no knowing whether Brother Ye might panic and run off to confess to Sister Dai right this instant.” 

  As her voice faded into silence, Liang Jingche remained silent as the uncanny smile on his face ebbed away, followed by his pursed lips.

  After staring at him for the longest time, Liang Zhenyu was gradually able to detect traces of something off-putting from his near-perfect visage……

  This brother of hers was simply a good-looking yet scheming devil. 

  At the moment, Sister Dai had yet to be fooled by him. If there ever came a day when she had truly fallen into his trap, Liang Zhenyu could not bring herself to think about that.

  Even so, Liang Jingche had no intention of concealing anything from any child of his family. With that, he chuckled, “You might just be right in your speculation. Who knows? He might be confessing to her right now.”

  “……I knew it! You did that on purpose!”

  Patting his sister on the shoulder, Liang Jingche mentioned, “Why don’t you head back and get some rest? Little kids should stay out of grown-up stuff. So, go on and don’t stay up too late.”

  Holding the bag of snacks that her elder brother had given her close to her chest, Liang Zhenyu turned and took a few steps forward.

  Looking over her shoulders, she noticed her elder brother was still standing in place, watching her.

  As a warm feeling bloomed in her chest, Liang Zhenyu suddenly placed the bag of snacks on the ground before running back to her elder brother.

  Opening her arms wide, she gave her brother a quick hug before commenting hurriedly, “If you are fond of Sister Dai, you’ll have to work on it since she’s a remarkable woman, after all. What’s more, you’ll surely be very blessed if she were to be my sister-in-law.”

  Upon hearing that, Liang Jingche narrowed his eyes at her. “Weren’t you just taking up the cudgels on your idol’s behalf?”

  Yet, there was no way for Liang Zhenyu to deny this fact.

  In any case, her elder brother was far too scheming. How could Brother Ye qualify as a rival to someone adept at playing mind games when he was so simple and straightforward?

  After a brief moment of silence, Liang Zhenyu replied, “Brother Ye is also a good person. In spite of knowing you were his rival, he wouldn’t take advantage of this reason to take it out on me. On the contrary, he would take exceptional care of me just because I’m a friend of Sister Dai’s. He had even gone as far as to give me the chance to participate in the first commercial. However……”

  Liang Zhenyu continued, “You are the best brother in the whole wide world, so you deserve to have someone you love. At the moment, Sister Dai doesn’t know you well enough. When the day comes that she knows you well, she’ll certainly like you very much.”

  With that, Liang Jingche could not help but get tickled by how serious his sister was.

  “I’m counting on that, Xiao Yu.”

  ……

  Without any hesitation, Qiao Jinye quickened his pace to catch up with Jiang Dai.

  It turned out that Jiang Dai had parked her sports car at the TV station’s ground floor parking lot, which was quite a distance away. If one were to make their way there from the dormitory entrance, it would take approximately seven to eight minutes.

  By the time Qiao Jinye rushed over, she was just about to get in the car.

  On seeing this, he called out to Jiang Dai and rushed forward to close her half-opened door. Feeling somewhat short of breath from the run, he took a deep breath and asked offhandedly, “Do you still remember my birthday wish back in senior year of high school, Jiang Dai?”
