Chapter 196: with translation of chapter title

Chen Shu perhaps truly became emotional, lunged into Jiang Cheng's embrace and cried until sobbing.

"Ten years, do you know how I've spent these ten years?"

"People around me mock me, old friends gradually drift away, and those who seek collaboration with me only want hype."

"Men approach me either to get scandalous headlines or because they think I used to be a big star, and winning me over would give them a sense of achievement!"

Jiang Cheng opened his arms, listening to Chen Shu speak.

Although he couldn't empathize, couldn't feel Chen Shu's agitation, he knew that for Chen Shu this might truly be a very important matter!

So at this moment pushing Chen Shu away, Jiang Cheng felt it would be somewhat excessive.

Thus he could only let Chen Shu hold him like this, but his back felt a chill, as if he could sense the gaze of Yujie inside the car behind him, sharp as a knife.

But those waiting for the bus around him didn't know Jiang Cheng's difficulty, only thinking a man should be like Jiang Cheng!

The main point is one word: refreshing!

Whether it's the Queen or Chen Shu!

Those are goddesses transcending generations!

Countless social elites wanted to get close to their charm but couldn't; yet today the two major goddesses successively embraced Jiang Cheng voluntarily!

How could they not be envious!

After a while. Chen Shu finally vented her emotions. She released Jiang Cheng, stepped back, lowered her head in shame, wiped her tears and said: "Sorry, I lost composure."

Jiang Cheng said: "It's fine, speaking out makes you feel better."

Chen Shu nodded heavily and said: "Mm, then I won't disturb you, you should go back quickly."

Just now I didn't feel it, but after this moment passed, I realized how embarrassing my earlier action was.

Especially seeing many people's gazes still focused here.

Chen Shu really wanted to find a place to hide.

The people behind Ye Qing were all dumbfounded.

Because she noticed a car parked at the roadside, with someone inside, she saw clearly that the driver was Su Manyao.

That was the boss's girlfriend, and also the boss of Qingman Entertainment.

She had just witnessed everything there.

Then she saw Jiang Cheng walk over, open the car door, and get in.

Chen Shu was about to leave, seeing this scene, she asked puzzled: "Who is that?"

Ye Qing grabbed her hand and hurried away, saying: "Let's hurry home."

Chen Shu didn't understand, so Ye Qing dragged her toward where they had parked the minivan.

But on the way Chen Shu still couldn't help asking: "I saw the driver just now was a girl, who is she?"

Ye Qing, asked by her, didn't know how to reply, simply said calmly: "That's the boss's girlfriend."

She didn't mention Su Manyao's other identity, because when leaving Qingman Entertainment she had promised Li Qinqin.

Ah?

Chen Shu gasped, covered her mouth, and stared at Ye Qing in disbelief.

Only then did she realize how excessive her earlier action had been.

She had actually done that in front of Jiang Cheng's girlfriend.

……

Where they left, the contestants waiting for the bus saw Jiang Cheng depart from Chen Shu's embrace and get into a dream volcanic-gray Panamera, envy making them almost turn purple.

Panameras of this color are usually driven by women, and beautiful wealthy women at that.

"I'll never join a show with Jiang Cheng again in this lifetime, it's too much of a blow!"

Many thought that, but actually after this they might not even have a chance to be on the same program with Jiang Cheng.

After today, in this circle, they and Jiang Cheng are worlds apart.

In the Panamera, Jiang Cheng sat in the passenger seat, placed the thing he was carrying in the back, then glanced at Yujie.

Just like that, he stared, waiting for Yujie to cause trouble. Su Manyao likely changed clothes before coming; now she wore a white chiffon dress, making her look entirely fresh.

She also looked at Jiang Cheng expressionlessly. The aloof Yujie, when expressionless, resembled a snow lotus on an iceberg, her eyes radiating cold light.

"How does it feel to enjoy the perks of a big star? Did you feel comfortable being hugged by female celebrities today?"

Jiang Cheng felt tense inside, saying: "No way, they initiated it."

"Oh my, now you're also a traffic big star, promising—female stars are lining up to hug you, right?" Su Manyao said, raising her eyebrows.

Jiang Cheng's scalp tingled; he hadn't expected the aloof Yujie to also speak in backhanded compliments, and when she did, the sarcasm was strong.

What should I do about this?

Jiang Cheng wanted to pull out his phone to search online, but what should he do now?

But Yujie was staring at him now, so he didn't have that chance.

All he could do was steel himself and say: "Actually it's fine; they were mainly expressing thanks, polite hugs—I couldn't very well refuse, could I?"

"Who said you can't refuse?"

"You're making me furious!" Su Manyao said, growing angrier the more she thought, she lifted her skirt with a hand, revealing a fair, jade-like leg from under the steering wheel.

!

Jiang Cheng saw clearly, it was very white, and barefoot, no shoes, likely having slipped off when she pulled it out.

Then he saw that foot step toward his chest.

Jiang Cheng saw it but couldn't dodge, the space to retreat was first of all narrow.

Moreover he knew Yujie was at the peak of her anger.

Knowing that Yujie rarely gets angry usually, mostly she's cool and aloof, seldom speaking with such emotional sarcasm.

So Jiang Cheng thought that if he hid now, it would be even harder to placate later.

I truly hate these older-sister types like Chen Shu and the Queen.

Isn't this just giving me trouble!

Su Manyao's foot on Jiang Cheng's chest hadn't yet dissipated her anger; seeing Jiang Cheng silent, unable to even fart, she grew angrier, lifted her leg and pressed it against Jiang Cheng's face.

"You're making me die of anger!"

Next time if you let me see you, you'll just... you'll just... you'll go sleep on the balcony!

Ahead of the car front, coincidentally someone hailed a taxi, passed from the front and got in, taking the chance to peek inside.

Just that glance, I saw on the Passat's car a woman beautiful as a fairy, with a snow-white long leg, her jade foot stepping on Jiang Cheng's face.

Holy shit!

Isn't welfare supposed to be a hug? Why is it getting upgraded more and more!

Step on me, sister! Why isn't there a sister stepping on me!

Su Manyao glanced ahead at the car front, seeing someone looking into the car.

Thinking that being seen like this would embarrass Jiang Cheng, she subconsciously pulled her foot back.

But she didn't know that to other guys, this wasn't losing face—it was totally a perk!

Jiang Cheng saw Yujie retract her leg and sit properly in the driver's seat; he rubbed his face, wondering if Yujie's punishment would keep escalating.

Is it that whenever she gets angry she'll come sit on him?

If that's the case, then provoking Yujie's anger might not be a bad thing!

Fasten your seatbelt, I'll deal with you when we get home!

Jiang Cheng silently fastened his seatbelt, thinking about how Yujie planned to deal with him when they got home.

In the past, Yujie wouldn't have said that; he gradually noticed a change in her.

It seemed that when together, she wasn't as aloof and distant, occasionally showing a girl's emotions.

Jiang Cheng recalled a video he had looked up online earlier, which said the best way to coax a woman is... (end of chapter).
