Chapter 235: The Shocked Jiang Kui

The sun rose and set.

Chen Che and Jiang Lan spent the whole day swatting flies, finally wiping them all out by evening, and both were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

But they hadn't been asleep for long when Chen Che's phone rang; Chen Che fished the phone out of his pants scattered on the floor and answered the call.

"Hey, it's me! Did you miss me?"

Tang Ying's cheerful voice came through.

Chen Che responded lazily: "What is it?"

"Are you sleeping? You sound really tired. What did you do during the day to be sleeping at this hour?"

Tang Ying asked with concern.

Chen Che turned his head to glance at Jiang Lan; the latter, whose eyes had been closed, opened them upon hearing the woman's voice and stared at Chen Che, blinking.

"Something came up..."

Chen Che said vaguely: "If you have something to say, just say it."

"Tch, you're brushing me off!"

Tang Ying asked in a probing tone: "You haven't been doing anything bad behind my back, have you?"

"You guessed right, I was doing something bad."

Chen Che said while looking at Jiang Lan, who blushed and gave him a light pinch.

"You're doing this on purpose to annoy me!"

Tang Ying said huffily: "I was going to tell you about the last case, but looking at how you are now, forget it!"

Chen Che's eyes lit up, and he pressed: "Is there a lead on the medicine?"

"Hee hee!"

Tang Ying laughed triumphantly: "Want to know? Fine, I'll send you an address; come find me there tomorrow. Remember, you must dress up nicely, or you won't find out anything at all."

"Can't it be now?"

Chen Che felt anxious; anything involving the Martial Arts Alliance always managed to strike a chord with him.

Not to mention that Bai Xiangjin was also involved with Vermilion Bird, which meant Vermilion Bird had already set her sights on him.

To change this passive situation, he could only rely on Tang Ying's connection to find him proactively!

"If you want to see me, of course you can, but if you want to talk about the investigation, then forget it; we can only take action tomorrow," Tang Ying said.

"Alright, then send me the address and time; I'll definitely go tomorrow."

Chen Che said.

The call ended, but Chen Che was no longer sleepy and fell into deep thought.

Jiang Lan shifted her body, lay on top of him, and asked: "Who is she?"

"A friend, from the Patrol Bureau."

Chen Che replied.

"I didn't think you had friends in the Patrol Bureau..."

Jiang Lan pouted, "It sounds like she's interested in you. Tell me, how old is she, what does she look like? Is she in good shape?"

Chen Che looked down at her and asked with a smile: "Are you jealous?"

Jiang Lan nodded with an 'mm' and said: "You're so outstanding and look so handsome; I wouldn't be surprised no matter what kind of woman likes you. But women are selfish when it comes to feelings; even if I'm broad-minded, I'll still feel uncomfortable if my man is being coveted by other women."

"Smack!"

Chen Che patted her voluptuous, perky buttocks; the texture and elasticity were excellent.

"Then aren't you going to be drowning in a vinegar jar from now on?"

Chen Che said with a grin.

Jiang Lan glared at him, infinitely charming: "Even if you look good, you don't have to be so narcissistic, right? How could there be so many women who like you?"

Chen Che raised an eyebrow and smiled: "That's hard to say."

Jiang Lan chided: "Can't you say something I like to hear?"

Chen Che curled his lips into a smile, turned over, and hugged her: "Let's do something we love to do instead."

Two blushes climbed onto Jiang Lan's face again, and she placed her fair hands on his chest, saying timidly: "It's been a whole day, haven't you had enough? I'm about to fall apart; you're too much."

"Can't help it, there are too many flies and mosquitoes."

Chen Che grabbed Jiang Lan's ankle.

"Wait... wait a second! Let me go to the bathroom first, don't rush... ah!"

………

The next day, Jiang Kui, who had rested for a day, finally returned to full health. He got up, washed up, and then went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

As a result, he saw Jiang Lan making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Sis, morning."

Jiang Kui said with sleepy eyes.

"You're up? Sit down quickly, it'll be ready soon." Jiang Lan turned her head and smiled at him.

Jiang Kui opened his eyes and watched Jiang Lan meticulously making breakfast.

She had the scent of shower gel on her; she must have just bathed. The pajamas she was wearing weren't the dowdy casual clothes she usually wore at home, but a lace-trimmed, sheer style.

Although the key areas were covered, the glimpses of her allure were still extremely tempting.

With a bare face but natural charm, her innate beauty needed no adornment to be stunning.

But Jiang Kui, who had never understood women's cosmetics, still noticed that Jiang Lan had put on some makeup.

Although it was only a faint touch, he still discovered it.

This was very abnormal!

Usually at home, Jiang Lan wouldn't even bother washing her face, let alone wearing makeup, and the pajamas she wore were the kind of dowdy style that even he found distasteful.

But today, she was the complete opposite of her usual self; she had the feeling of... a newlywed bride!

Moreover, she clearly seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile lingering at the corners of her eyes and brows; not knowing what she was thinking about, two blushes crept onto her fair cheeks, further highlighting her natural charm.

Jiang Kui really didn't want to describe it this way, but he couldn't think of any other words—

Today's Jiang Lan had nothing to do with the Beauty Scorpion; she was entirely a beautiful, loving wife nourished by romance.

That aura of a married woman she exuded was the only and most intense instance since the death of the Scorpion all those years ago!

"Sis, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Kui frowned and asked point-blank.

"Huh? What do you mean what's wrong? I'm fine."

Jiang Lan turned her head to look at him, confused.

"No!"

Jiang Kui looked her over carefully: "You are very not right!"

"You brat, what are you staring at? Go sit down and get ready to eat!"

Jiang Lan chided, putting the fried egg into a plate.

"Why are you just standing there like a fool?"

Seeing that Jiang Kui still hadn't moved and was looking at her with a probing expression, Jiang Lan smiled helplessly and instructed: "Carry the plate over."

Jiang Kui took the plate and walked toward the dining table, his brows locked tight, still feeling that something was not right.

"Hiss—"

Suddenly, Jiang Kui gasped, his eyes widening into perfect circles as he stared fixedly at the man sitting by the table.

"Yo, morning."

Chen Che greeted Jiang Kui.

"Clatter!"

Jiang Kui was so startled that his hand loosened, and the plate fell to the floor, smashing into pieces.

"Oh my! What's wrong with you? So clumsy!"

Jiang Lan frowned, shot Jiang Kui a cross look, and pushed him aside: "Go, go, go, don't get in the way!"

Jiang Lan cleaned up the plate, served a new portion, and placed it on the table.

After finishing everything, Jiang Lan ignored the stunned Jiang Kui, sat directly across from Chen Che, and urged him happily: "Hurry and taste it!"

Chen Che tucked the fried egg into the bread, spread some ketchup on it, took a bite, and nodded in praise: "Not bad."

Jiang Lan smiled very happily, cupping her face and staring at Chen Che eating without blinking, as if just doing this made her very happy and blissful.

"Aren't you eating?"

Chen Che asked.

Jiang Lan shook her head: "I'm happy just watching you eat. We're out of ham sausages, otherwise I could have grilled some for you; today was a bit rushed, so just make do, it will definitely be more perfect next time."

"It's already very good."

Chen Che raised his eyes to look at Jiang Lan, smirked, and said: "Actually, you prefer eating grilled sausages and eggs, but I still prefer eating noodles; how about you cook a bowl of noodles for me?"

Jiang Lan was startled, her face turned even redder, and she chided: "You are really wicked!"

Chen Che continued to play dumb: "What? Do you not like eating grilled sausages and eggs, or do you not want to cook noodles for me?"

Jiang Lan's eyes were filled with flirtatious charm: "I'll let you eat next time."

"Alright, then we'll eat together next time."

"I'll bite you to death!"

"We're talking about eating, why bite me to death?"

"You know exactly what you're asking!"

The two of them chatted back and forth like this, with suggestive remarks emerging one after another.

Jiang Kui froze in place, watching this scene dumbfounded, his expression dazed; he pinched himself hard, almost thinking he hadn't woken up yet and was dreaming.

Jiang Lan was giggling incessantly at Chen Che's teasing and had long forgotten that Jiang Kui was even there.

Chen Che turned his head at this moment to look at the distracted Jiang Kui and said in an exaggerated tone: "Yo! Who are you?"

Jiang Lan laughed until she was trembling and, feeling playful, said: "You look so familiar."

"Hehe... you guys don't mind me, continue."

Jiang Kui said with a face full of smiles, though internally: "......... Screw you @&#*$!!!"
