Chapter 2026 - 2029: The Smile of the Bun Beauty

At the back residence of Heshenghe Mountain Villa, as the groomed Shen Qiang descended the stairs, he immediately spotted the beautiful teacher Ju Yang, who was flustered as she handed her child to the nanny. Ever since she had her daughter, her figure had become more shapely and enchanting.

Moreover, she had taken Shen Qiang's Absolute Charm Pill, making her already graceful face even more stunning, with a knowledgeable and mature aura that inexplicably made one's heart race.

Especially at this moment, she was wearing black high heels and sheer stockings, making her legs, which seemed to be 1.5 meters long, appear slender and straight, along with an elegant pencil skirt highlighting the adult female charm, adding to her mysterious allure.

"Heading out?" Shen Qiang walked over with a smile.

With a charming glance at Shen Qiang, wearing a white blouse, she said, "I have lessons today. You, my assistant, ran off, so I have to go myself."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, resting his hands on her shoulders, saying, "Quit your job, I will take care of you. An ordinary university lecturer doesn't earn much, and now with the child still young, why go through the ordeal."

Ju Yang smiled, her eyes curving beautifully, and playfully responded, "No way, I am a person with dreams."

Shen Qiang smiled, but before he could say anything.

Ju Yang suddenly chuckled, saying, "I heard that ever since you entered the Medical University's graduate school in Beijing, you've often skipped classes. Do you need me to tutor you?"

Shen Qiang couldn't help but laugh, gazing into her charming eyes, saying, "Sure, regarding microbiology and pharmacology, I indeed have many things I'm unclear about, so I'll come over tonight for tutoring."

Ju Yang's eyes instantly curved with a smile, playfully saying, "Alright, but remember, no mischief."

Shen Qiang laughed.

What does it mean to say one thing and do another?

What does it mean to hide a fact that everyone knows?

What is a hint?

What Ju Yang said now demonstrates her teaching caliber.

"I, Shen Qiang, as noble as an ice lotus in a snowfield, pure and flawless, would never engage in mischief." Shen Qiang chuckled, picking up Ju Yang's coat and helping her wear it.

Her pretty face slightly blushing, she glanced around, seeing no one nearby, she tiptoed to peck Shen Qiang's cheek, then quickly said, "I'll be late, see you tonight."

After saying so, she hurriedly left.

Checking on the child at the childcare provider.

Sitting on the sofa, Shen Qiang soon noticed the entire residence had become vacant.

Because all the ladies had important matters to attend to.

Xu Nan was at the Provincial City store of Wan Xin Sheng He.

Bai Jiao was at the Provincial City store of Cheng Xinyi.

Ali and Ye Xiaolei were at the Provincial City branch of the Dragon Group.

Su Xiaonuan was still working at Bikang.

Suddenly idle, Shen Qiang was shocked to find that within Heshenghe, he alone seemed to be unoccupied.

"Sir, your breakfast..."

"I'll head to the cafeteria to eat." Feeling quite bored, Shen Qiang left home straight for the cafeteria.

Upon reaching the entrance, he immediately saw a large group of demons squatting outside the cafeteria.

As Shen Qiang walked over for a closer look.

He could barely suppress his laughter.

Inside the cafeteria, the lovely Ye Guyun, like a great mountain king, was gulping down food with grease covering her face, and her dining companions included the big swordsman and several among the twelve combat team leaders.

The other demons were waiting on the sidelines.

"Ye Guyun!" Shen Qiang frowned.

Upon hearing Shen Qiang's voice, Ye Guyun leapt up as if her backside had been pricked, blurting, "It wasn't me, it wasn't my idea."

"It was him!" Ye Guyun pointed at the big swordsman, winking.

The big swordsman's eyes rolled upward in exasperation.

Seeing them act this way, Shen Qiang also felt helpless.

Clapping his hands, he said, "Everyone go eat, the food won't taste good if it gets cold. Then, Ye Guyun, come with me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyun looked at the table of various meats, her eyes disappointed but without a word.

The demons blocking the doorway brightened with joy.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"My King is impartial and incorruptible!"

Listening to the demons' remarks, Shen Qiang felt resigned.

Ye Guyun, now at the mountain villa, without natural enemies, coupled with her sticking closely by Shen Qiang's side all day, everyone also indulged her, so her old habits resurfaced.

This can't be helped.

The interaction among demons, where the stronger eats first, is like a customary rule, not easily changed by a few words or any regulation.

Bringing Ye Guyun along, Shen Qiang drove straight out of Heshenghe.

Sitting in the car, Ye Guyun curiously asked, "Shen Qiang, Shen Qiang, where are we going? I haven't finished eating."

"You'll endure." Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow.

Ye Guyun fell silent, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "It really was the big guy's idea, I didn't say not to let those guys into the cafeteria."

Shen Qiang didn't respond to her.

There's no need to be insistent over this matter, nor to listen to Ye Guyun's explanations.

In truth, Shen Qiang wasn't bothered.

Different minds follow different paths; the survival rules among demons are not something Shen Qiang desires to intervene in extensively.

Constantly correcting some of Ye Guyun's behaviors, Shen Qiang simply hoped she could become more ladylike.

But clearly, Shen Qiang overestimated her.

Character is hard to change.

Apart from learning to tell lies and watch anime while snacking, her progress is negligible.

Nonetheless, changes are always welcome.

As the car left Heshenghe and reached the roadside, Shen Qiang slowed down, immediately noticing many demons gathered around the intersection, with cultivation levels both high and low, quite a few possessing Mixed Element Realm, but clearly, both their attire and their manner of eating while squatting made it evident that they were not living well.

Just that, each has their aspirations.

Like some preferring ordinariness, enjoying life, while others choose to strive, finding ways to achieve success.

Regardless of which lifestyle is chosen, it's their freedom.

Heshenghe leaves a door for them, but how they choose isn't something Shen Qiang could control.

Driving on.

Shen Qiang did not speak, and Ye Guyun dared not.

The two remained silent along the way.

After some time, arriving at the street across the bun shop, Shen Qiang parked the car, sitting inside, watching as the morning peak had passed at the bun shop. Through the clean glass window, Shen Qiang vividly saw the graceful figure of the beautiful lady Gao Hui, greeting the bun shop employees for a meal.

"Let's go have buns!" Ye Guyun's eyes brightened.

Shen Qiang hesitated briefly, saying, "Call them to have it delivered, don't mention the car, say any shop along the roadside is fine."

"Oh, alright." Ye Guyun immediately called to order, but Shen Qiang remained silently with a complex expression.

A moment later, an employee from the bun shop delivered the buns over, Ye Guyun paid and got back into the car.

Feeling complicated, Shen Qiang took a bun, just bit into it, raised his head, and was stunned to see the beautiful lady Gao Hui softly standing at the roadside in front of the car, her red lips carrying a reserved smile, seeming both distant yet friendly.
