Chapter 476 - 287: The Things Chen Jingxian Brought Back

A short while later, Chen Jingxian appeared at the building’s entrance.

But she wasn’t carrying the box. It looked like she hadn’t brought it out.

But...

Lin Jiang studied Chen Jingxian closely and noticed something was off.

When she left, her purse had been flat, but now it looked quite full.

’She didn’t take everything out of the box and stuff it into her purse, did she?’

Lin Jiang considered it. Given Chen Jingxian’s personality, it was entirely possible she’d do something like that.

Soon, Chen Jingxian opened the passenger-side door and got into the car.

Lin Jiang’s gaze fell on Chen Jingxian’s purse. It was definitely a lot more stuffed.

’The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She probably really did put them in her purse.’

And her cheeks were tinged with a faint blush.

"Did you see the stuff?" Lin Jiang asked, looking at Chen Jingxian.

"You two are insane, buying so much stuff."

"So, do you want to play with them?"

"No!" Chen Jingxian said at once.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I’m sure!"

"What’s in your purse? Let me see."

Chen Jingxian’s eyes suddenly went wide. The nervousness on her face was plain to see, and her body went rigid as if she’d been zapped.

"I-I don’t have anything in my purse. It’s just women’s things, there’s nothing to see."

Seeing how nervous Chen Jingxian was, Lin Jiang knew he had guessed right.

’Tsk tsk tsk...’

’Interesting...’

"You have a point. After all, it’s women’s stuff. A man wouldn’t have any use for it."

Chen Jingxian caught the hidden meaning in his words.

She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but for a moment, she couldn’t think of the right words.

She sputtered for a long time but couldn’t get anything out.

"But..."

Lin Jiang’s tone shifted. "Even if it’s women’s stuff, I want to see what it is. I’m pretty curious."

"No way. You can’t just look through a woman’s things."

"I can’t just look through *other* women’s things, but yours should be fine, right?"

Lin Jiang wasn’t in a rush. He said slowly,

"I’ve seen your panties. What else could there be that I’m not allowed to see?"

Chen Jingxian’s face burned even hotter, and her heart pounded wildly. She hugged her purse tightly.

"You still can’t see."

"Alright, I won’t look for now. We can wait until after dinner, when we’re full and happy. I’ll take my time looking then."

Chen Jingxian’s heart nearly leaped out of her throat.

’Lin Jiang must know I put everything in my purse.’

’Ahhh!’

’Why is he so smart!’

’How can he guess everything?!’

On the way, there was a tacit understanding between them.

They first stopped at the supermarket to buy some crayfish and other groceries before heading back to Chen Jingxian’s home.

Once home, Chen Jingxian went to her bedroom to change into a loose-fitting dress and get ready to cook.

"What are you looking at me for? Is something wrong?"

"The shape is a little off."

"The shape?"

Chen Jingxian glanced down and knew exactly what Lin Jiang was talking about.

"I knew you’d look there," Chen Jingxian chided playfully. "I don’t wear one at home. It’s more comfortable."

"True, being constrained by a bra must be uncomfortable. Plus, the visual effect is much better this way."

"You perv. Go rest, I’m going to cook."

"Okay."

Chen Jingxian went to the kitchen, and Lin Jiang flopped comfortably onto the sofa.

Watching Chen Jingxian bustle about in the kitchen, Lin Jiang felt a sense of home.

Then again, if he invited He Siyao over, it would be double the feeling of home.

And if he added the other women, it would be the feeling of home to the Nth degree.

’I’ve still got to work hard!’

’I’ll have to strive to make that feeling of home even stronger in the near future.’

After more than an hour of bustling around, Chen Jingxian called out from the kitchen.

"Time to eat!"

Putting down his phone, Lin Jiang got up and went to the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around Chen Jingxian from behind, placing his hands on her lower stomach and stroking the soft flesh there.

"Stop fooling around, it’s time to eat," Chen Jingxian said softly.

Every time Lin Jiang held her like this, Chen Jingxian savored it completely. Her body would even betray her and go limp in his arms.

"Why’d you make two different kinds?"

"One is spicy, and the other is five-spice. I thought you’d like both, so I made two versions."

"You’re still the most thoughtful. No one can compare to you in that regard."

"Hmph, as long as you know it."

Besides the crayfish, Chen Jingxian had also prepared some refreshing vegetable dishes to cleanse the palate.

When it came to cooking, Chen Jingxian was practically invincible. None of the other women could hold a candle to her in the kitchen.

He helped Chen Jingxian carry the prepared crayfish to the table.

Lin Jiang opened two bottles of beer. Chen Jingxian took one, and their dinner began.

"The club is under renovation, and Mu Xing wants to expand our direct-managed business. Are our funds holding up?"

"They are," Chen Jingxian said confidently.

"We can still afford it. Plus, it’s almost the end of the year. You should be getting over 30 million in dividends from Desheng. On top of that, the movie is about to be released. If the box office blows up, our cash on hand will be even more plentiful. Expanding our direct-managed stores to the four first-tier cities will definitely be no problem."

Lin Jiang wasn’t worried about the movie’s box office performance.

When it was originally released, it grossed over a billion. Years later, hitting two billion at the box office should be a piece of cake, and it might even do better.

"I plan to use the movie’s box office revenue to open another shopping mall. One in the south and one in the north, so we can cover a wider area."

"But there are no suitable land auction projects downtown, and rebuilding would drag out the construction schedule. It would be hard to see any returns during that period," Chen Jingxian said.
