Chapter 92.3 – Extra: Liang Jingche 

— STATUS: Unedited —

　　Jiang Dai’s mind went blank for three seconds before a terrifying thought emerged. Suddenly, she pounced forward like a frenzied cat. Without any warning or even giving him a chance to defend himself, she pressed her soft lips against his, biting down forcefully and rubbing against him with inexperience and aggression.

　　Liang Jingche’s body stiffened, and his blood seemed to freeze within him.

　　He forcefully pushed Jiang Dai away, but she smirked with a mischievous grin. “You must think I’ve gone completely off the rails, right, Uncle Liang? I’m sorry about that. But now, you’ve also deviated from the norm by being involved with me. We’re in the same boat now. Are you still going to tattle on me to my parents?”

　　In a split second, Liang Jingche was rendered speechless.

　　In the car that night, Liang Jingche had undeniably been defeated.

　　Once he regained his composure, he continued to enforce strict discipline over Jiang Dai. Not only was he far from being intimidated, but he also became even more severe in his approach.

　　She had actually…… developed feelings for Liang Jingche.

　　Even so, she kept this hidden deep within her heart, afraid to confront it directly. However, she could not help but subtly test the waters a few times, both intentionally and unintentionally.

　　Her attempts were all verbal probes.
　　“How many girlfriends have you had, Uncle Jiang?”
　　“You’re so handsome, Uncle Liang, so why are you still single? Could it be that you prefer boys?”

　　“What type of girls do you like, Uncle Liang? Do you prefer them to be tall or petite? Long hair or short hair? Someone more outgoing or reserved……”

　　As she spoke, Jiang Dai instinctively tucked her short hair behind her ears, and she subtly emphasized her well-developed, ample bosom.

　　Liang Jingche stared at her with an inexplicable gaze for a moment before responding with a profound tone, “I like someone who’s intelligent, obedient, and has good grades.”

　　Jiang Dai had recently turned eighteen. Since her parents were still overseas, Liang Jingche celebrated her birthday with her and treated her to a lavish meal.

　　As an adult, she believed she had the right to consider this matter seriously.

　　With each passing day spent together, the signs of a teenage crush grew stronger. Hence, Jiang Dai became increasingly convinced she had feelings for Liang Jingche.

　　On the eve of the college entrance examination, Ye Hui’s appearance became too much to handle for her.

　　Ye Hui was Liang Jingche’s high school classmate and also highly favored by Liang Jingche’s parents. With their repeated attempts at matchmaking, Ye Hui often created opportunities to meet with Liang Jingche.

　　Considering Liang Jingche’s responsibility of “care for a child,” Ye Hui showed great understanding and always included Jiang Dai whenever she invited Liang Jingche to meals.

　　Jiang Dai could not help but notice Ye Hui’s frequent gestures of goodwill, and she found it increasingly difficult to keep her composure.

　　Taking advantage of Liang Jingche’s trip to the restroom, Jiang Dai took a sip of her juice and smiled mischievously. “You like Uncle Liang, don’t you, Auntie Ye?”

　　Since Ye Hui was a perceptive and astute person, she immediately sensed that something was off in the girl’s tone. At only twenty-six years old, she expected someone of Jiang Dai’s age to address her as “sister” if they had any sense.

　　As expected, Jiang Dai continued to speak suggestively, “Unfortunately, Uncle Liang doesn’t fancy someone like you.”

　　Ye Hui’s heart sank, but she maintained her composure on her face. “Hmm? How so?”

　　Jiang Dai cast a glance at Ye Hui’s flat chest, and then subtly emphasized her own well-endowed bosom. With a loaded implication, she explained, “I asked Uncle Liang this before, and he said he preferred girls with a more…… ample figure, you know.”

　　Despite the age difference, Ye Hui was also a woman herself and almost instantly grasped the intentions behind Jiang Dai’s words and overall demeanor. 

　　She maintained her composure and suppressed her anger. Later, she faithfully relayed every word of Jiang Dai’s statement to Liang Jingche without omitting a single detail.

　　That night, Jiang Dai was hunched over her desk, diligently writing her assignment.

　　Liang Jingche knocked on the door and entered with a tray of milk and fruit. Instead of leaving, he sat down beside her.

　　Jiang Dai could not shake off a growing sense of unease. After all, they had spent almost a year together, so they grew familiar with each other’s habits. Liang Jingche’s silent and brooding demeanor suggested that he might be displeased with her and harbored a hidden resentment, as well as a likelihood of confronting her with pent-up emotions.

　　With that in mind, Jiang Dai took the initiative and stated, “If you have something to say, Uncle Liang, just go right ahead.”

　　Instead of getting annoyed, Liang Jingche chuckled softly. He reached out and ruffled her hair gently. “Ye Hui complained about you.”

　　Jiang Dai was unsurprised by this and responded with a deadpanned “Oh.”

　　Liang Jingche’s voice was unexpectedly gentle, devoid of blame or reproach. “Actually, I’m not even close with Ye Hui. Her father is a friend of my father’s, so please refrain from spreading those words from now on. It wouldn’t look good if Ye Hui were to let them slip.”

　　Jiang Dai did not understand his intentions, nor was she certain whether he truly had feelings for her. 

　　After suppressing her emotions and harboring suspicions for so long, the impending college entrance examination was just around the corner. If Liang Jingche did not have feelings for her, they would go their separate ways once the exams were over.

　　Jiang Dai’s mind was filled with wild and chaotic thoughts, causing her eyes to become teary.

　　The man lowered his head and glanced at her. His eyes held a mysterious depth, veiled with conflicting emotions.

　　He raised his hand again to pat her head gently and said warmly, “I don’t like Ye Hui, so focus on preparing for the exams and don’t get distracted. I’ll take you to Disneyland after the college entrance exams.”

　　Tears welled up in her eyes as she angrily slammed her pen down. “Who cares about going to Disneyland? Do you think I’m still in elementary school?”

　　The tears on the girl’s face seemed to possess a corrosive quality as they fell upon his heart, causing an itch-like pain that was difficult to bear.

　　He endured in silence for a long time but eventually could not hold back any longer. He inquired in a gentle voice, “What reward do you want, Daidai? Anything works for me.”

　　With a reckless abandon, Jiang Dai laid her cards on the table. “Of course, I want you, Liang Jingche. Can’t you see it, or are you pretending to be oblivious?”

　　Liang Jingche could not help but burst into laughter, as the tenderness in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

　　He lifted the girl up and placed her on his lap.

　　“Focus on your exams first. We can discuss our relationship after the exams, alright?”

　　With that, Jiang Dai had her wish fulfilled.

　　She knew it all along…… Liang Jingche also had feelings for her.

　　At this point, She was absolutely ecstatic and bursting with joy.

　　Boldly, she puckered her lips and kissed him.

　　Her tender hand reached out and found the man’s large hand. She hooked her pinky finger with his, gripping it tightly before playfully shaking it. “Pinky promise! So you can’t back out. After the exams, you’ll be my boyfriend!”

……

　　In this world, she began dating Liang Jingche after Jiang Dai’s college entrance exams. Eventually, her parents noticed their relationship in their sophomore year, so they decided to acknowledge it openly. After graduating from university, she married him and became Mrs. Liang, Liang Jingche’s wife, who had become a successful figure.

The author has something to say:

The side stories are of a parallel world and have nothing to do with the world in the main story, so you can just treat these as a standalone oneshot.

Next up, we have Brother Ye’s side story, followed by another one about DaiDai and President Huo’s life with their child.
