Chapter 2302: Love and Chaos: System Showdown 26

Qiu Qing watched this scene from beginning to end.

Seeing You Le'an casually push away Jin Chen's tea, being able to naturally ask for a change, and seeing Jin Chen not only not get angry but instead indulge.

An indescribable sourness and intense envy, like vines, instantly wrapped around Qiu Qing's heart, squeezing him so he could barely breathe.

The gap between people, and jealousy without reason, silently grew like that.

He lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions surging beneath.

Seeing You Le'an go out, Qiu Qing immediately found an opportunity.

He lightly tugged Sun You's sleeve, his voice soft and gentle: 'Sun bro, I'm also going out for some fresh air, not to disturb your discussion.'

Sun You was already annoyed by that little mishap, and Jin Chen's undisguised pampering made him feel like a joke; he wanted Qiu Qing to disappear quickly, so upon hearing this he impatiently waved his hand: 'Go! Don't run around!'

Qiu Qing felt as if pardoned, lowered his head and hurried out.

The heavy door of the private room closed behind him, cutting off the world inside that made him feel both suffocated and yearning.

In the tea room, the air was fragrant with the sweet scent of honey peaches and ripe fruit.

You Le'an held the warm teacup, sipping the sweet, fragrant oolong carefully brewed by the tea master, temporarily soothing the restlessness in his heart.

Qiu Qing, however, followed like a shadow, sat opposite him, and gazed at him with a complex expression.

You Le'an felt uncomfortable all over being stared at.

'What do you want to say?' he asked, lifting his eyes.

Qiu Qing's voice carried an undisguisable sour tone as he stirred the ordinary green tea before him, lowering his eyelids.

'Someone like President Jin, with top-notch family background, status, and appearance, surely… surely already has a suitable marriage partner?'

He lifted his eyes, his gaze holding a barely detectable malice and a base pleasure in dragging others down, looking at You Le'an.

'To them, people like us are just… a plaything, a novelty.'

He tried to use this clear-headed cognition to find a false sense of superiority in front of You Le'an.

A sense of superiority from understanding the rules better and being more aware of the times.

You Le'an: '……'

'Is there something unclean around me lately?' he even couldn't help asking the system.

The Villain System came online, puzzled: 'Nothing detected.'

'Then why do I keep encountering abnormal people!'

'……' The Junior System also doesn't really understand you humans.

You Le'an set his teacup down heavily on the saucer, making a clear sound.

The tea liquid left at the bottom swayed.

He lifted his eyes, no longer the relaxed state from earlier tea drinking, but cold and impatient.

Qiu Qing's words, full of malice and self-abasement, precisely stepped on the most sensitive nerve, reigniting the anger he had barely suppressed.

You Le'an tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking cold smile.

He slightly raised his chin, as a matter of course,

'The difference between me and you is, even if it's just playing.'

'Jin Chen, you also have to accompany me in playing for a lifetime.'

Qiu Qing: '……'

After saying that, You Le'an no longer looked at him, picking up his tea again.

Only the slight furrow of his brow revealed that his heart was not completely calm.

Qiu Qing's words were like a thorn; although he pulled it out, the tip seemed to remain hidden in the flesh, causing a faint pain.

He clearly sensed Qiu Qing's groundless malice toward him, which made him irritable.

It also made that unease deep inside him surge again.

——

Inside Room 7.

Jin Chen lightly tapped his fingertip on the document, then raised his wrist to check the time.

Twenty minutes have passed.

He closed the folder in his hand with a crisp motion: 'We'll stop here for today; I'll have my assistant organize the remaining details and then liaise with everyone.'

The rich second-generation heirs are all sharp; they naturally saw that President Jin had something going on, and obviously it concerned Young Master You.

They immediately got up, sensing the cue.

'All right, all right, President Jin, don't worry; we'll do it as soon as possible.'

'Sorry for disturbing you today, President Jin; let's meet again another day.'

Just as Jin Chen stepped out of the private room door, his gaze instinctively turned toward the tea room.

Almost simultaneously, a familiar figure hurried out from the tea room.

It was You Le'an; he obviously was also paying attention to the movements here.

Their eyes met.

You Le'an quickened his pace, almost breaking into a run as he rushed over.

He stopped in front of Jin Chen, lifted his head, and did it in one fluid motion.

Soft, warm lips pressed firmly against Jin Chen's cheek.

With a soft 'pop,' the sound was especially clear in the quiet hallway.

You Le'an's arms also tightly wrapped around Jin Chen's neck, clinging close.

Jin Chen instinctively supported You Le'an's waist, slightly turned his head, his deep black eyes lowering to look at the slightly uneasy person in his arms, somewhat understanding.

It was then replaced by an indulgent, teasing smile that couldn't be washed away; even in that pose, he tightened the arm around You Le'an's waist.

"What's wrong?" he asked softly.

"You've finished chatting." You Le An buried his face in Jin Chen's neck, voice muffled, "Now it's my turn to say something important—listen carefully!"

His tone was slightly overbearing, yet it seemed like he was seeking assurance.

"Yes yes yes," Jin Chen drew out his tone, a smile spreading from his eyes to the corners of his mouth, "We'll listen to our Young Master You, not missing a single word."

His gaze swept over the nearby petrified rich second-generation heirs.

"Sorry for the amusement, feel free to do as you please."

The Qiu Qing people behind him were all dumbfounded.

He finally realized he might have misunderstood You Le An's identity.

At least he had never seen a lover who dared to be so indiscriminate about the occasion.

What made Qiu Qing's blood run cold even more was that You Le An seemed to inadvertently turn his face.

His gaze passed through Jin Chen's shoulder, aimed at him, and slowly curled up the corner of his mouth.

It was a more mocking malice than the Qiu Qing in the tea room earlier.

Fear and shame instantly overwhelmed Qiu Qing, his face turning deathly pale.

Jin Chen seemed to sense the sudden oddity of the person in his arms, tightening his hold on You Le An's waist, lifting his eyes to see Qiu Qing, and slightly furrowed his brows.

A chill ran down Qiu Qing's back, and he hurriedly followed the departing Sun You as he ran off.

〖Oh ho ho, today's villainy scores 6/10, the devil's low laugh deserves full marks! 〗

The villain system tried to maintain its original task in a proper and diligent manner.

Ling Gun Gun's bean eyes rolled, his playful heart soared, and he poked with his electronic consciousness tentacles.

In Jin Chen's arms, You Le An only heard a very short squeak, and the villain system actually suffered a cyber faint……

It fainted!

It wasn't the usual logout; it was a sudden disconnection with a snap!

You Le An jumped back half a step in shock, "The system won't die, will it!"

But Jin Chen, still holding him, didn't pull away, making it seem as if You Le An were deliberately breaking free from the embrace.

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, then let go, saying, "Why won't you let us hold you now, Young Master You?"

You Le An came to his senses, instantly forgot about the system, and muttered a sentence.

It was a genuine mutter; Jin Chen didn't even catch it clearly.

Jin Chen pinched his face, dissatisfied, "Are you talking to the mosquitoes?

You Le An's embarrassment was still suppressed, he hummed, "Then do you want to kiss me?"

"Hmm?"

You Le An's breath trembled slightly, he looked up solemnly: "If you want to kiss me, that would be a huge step in our lifelong commitment!"

Even a booming sound came.

Jin Chen felt moe.

He lowered his head, embraced You Le An, moved toward the nearest tea room, and immediately turned back to close the door.
