Chapter 353: Xiangjun’s "Not Caring

Chapter 353 -219: Xiangjun’s “Not Caring

Looking back at that middle-aged man and his companion, he recalled how every word they uttered reeked of money. They had bought a 189-square-meter unit, the cheapest in the entire development, yet they were still parading around so ostentatiously. People really were different. They weren’t even in the same league!

The paperwork for the six villas would take some time to process, especially since it involved adding supplementary clauses for renovations.

The commotion had startled everyone in the sales office. Nearly every staff member had stopped what they were doing to focus solely on serving Chen Xiao’s single massive purchase.

Xiao Zhang’s mouth hung open, almost drooling. He couldn’t believe Xiao Chen’s luck. That young couple was so unassuming, yet they had this kind of incredible wealth!

The middle-aged man didn’t even dare to speak loudly anymore, and he couldn’t bring himself to glance in their direction again.

By the time the two of them got home, it was already evening.

Once inside their home at Bihu Twin Seals, Zhao Xiangjun said, “Chen Xiao, about those villas you bought… are you going to give one to Xu Wu and one to Feng Feifei?”

Chen Xiao was taken aback. ‘What does she mean? Giving a villa to Xu Wu would make sense; after all, her hard work and contributions to running Junxiao Group are immense. But why Feng Feifei?’

‘Is the employee rewarding the boss now?’

He felt a pang of guilt and asked, “Why should I give them one? Can’t we live in them ourselves?”

Zhao Xiangjun rolled her eyes at him. “You only have one butt. How many beds can you possibly sleep in?”

‘She can still talk back, which means she’s in a decent mood.’ Chen Xiao felt relieved.

Zhao Xiangjun then added, “If you really want to give them away, then just do it. You know I don’t mind.”

‘Don’t mind?’ Chen Xiao’s mood suddenly soured. A girlfriend telling her boyfriend, ‘I don’t mind if you flirt with other girls’—it was a difficult sentiment to accept. Unhappily, Chen Xiao asked, “Then what do you care about?”

She blurted out without a moment’s hesitation, “I care about you!”

Chen Xiao froze. He understood in an instant.

‘It wasn’t that she didn’t care; she just cared about him too much!’

‘She didn’t care about her own feelings being hurt; she only cared about his happiness.’

Chen Xiao’s eyes instantly reddened. In that moment, he forgot everything else. His world contained only Zhao Xiangjun…

‘This silly girl. When will she ever learn to think of herself first?’

He pulled her into his arms and held her tight. He wanted to cherish her, to give her everything he had to dote on her.

Zhao Xiangjun rested her head on his shoulder. After a long moment, she said, “Chen Xiao, let me clean your ears.”

…

The ultimate mood killer! Chen Xiao lay on the sofa while Zhao Xiangjun carefully cleaned his ears.

Looking at her up close, this Zhao Xiangjun was as beautiful as the Luo River Goddess with an exceptional figure. She was kind-hearted, yet sometimes as playful as a young girl experiencing her first crush.

She was the culmination of all things beautiful. Just looking at her made Chen Xiao feel like his heart was melting.

What he felt for Zhao Xiangjun wasn’t just desire; it was a love that seeped into his very bones. He wished he could fuse his being with hers.

…

「Dr. Feng’s Industrial Park」

The workday had just begun. At 9:20 AM, a Shanyun S5 pulled up to the main gate of the industrial park.

Outside vehicles had to be registered before they were allowed to enter.

After getting his contact information, the security guard asked, “What company are you with?”

“Shanyun Auto.”

Jin Wuxian parked the car and, mimicking Chen Xiao’s tone, sent him a voice message: “Chen Xiao, come out and receive your royal guest!”

A long time passed with no response. Jin Wuxian grew impatient waiting in his car.

‘Damn, what kind of person is this? How does he even do business?’

‘I’m here bringing you an order, and you don’t reply to my messages or answer my calls? What’s the deal with that?’

Yesterday, Chen Xiao had successfully convinced Jin Fu. Today, Jin Wuxian was here with the partnership agreement between the Shanyun E5 and the Junxing Intelligent Research and Development Center!

He figured that as the client today, he could finally get one over on Chen Xiao. But he’d been sitting in his car for half an hour without so much as a reply!

Looking thoroughly displeased, he got out of his car and went to the front desk. “I’m looking for your company’s Chen Xiao!”

Looking for Chen Xiao? As it happened, the receptionist, Qiao Xin, was at her desk.

“What do you need to see Chen Xiao for?”

“To deliver an order!” Jin Wuxian struck a pose in front of the beautiful receptionist, as if to say, ‘That’s right, I’m here with an order. Surprised? Didn’t see that coming, did you?’

“Do you have an appointment?”

His cool facade shattered in an instant. Jin Wuxian asked in astonishment, “Miss, I’m here to deliver an order. I need an appointment for that?”

Qiao Xin thought he was making a mountain out of a molehill. ‘People are always lined up to deliver orders. What good is an order if you don’t make an appointment!’

“That’s right. Everything is by appointment only. We schedule a call-back, then set a time for the signing.”

Jin Wuxian was completely baffled. He looked up at the sign. Yes, this was Doctor Feng Robot Technology Group, not some government service center.

‘To get this kind of cold shoulder when you’re hand-delivering an order… I really don’t know how this company got so big.’

“Miss, I’m a friend of Chen Xiao!”

‘Since mentioning the order didn’t work, might as well not bring it up!’

‘A friend? He didn’t say that when he first walked in. Now he says he’s a friend. I’ve had to turn away countless people just like him!’

“If you’re Chen Xiao’s friend, how could you not know his habits?”

‘What habits?’ Jin Wuxian genuinely had no idea. His knowledge of Chen Xiao was limited.

‘Tsk!’ Qiao Xin was scornful. ‘You’re his friend, but you don’t know that he never gets to the office before 11 AM?’

“He’s not at the office yet.”

“No way. It’s almost 10 o’clock. Maybe you just didn’t notice him come in?”

Qiao Xin was annoyed now. ‘Are you doubting my devotion to Brother Chen Xiao? I’m completely focused every single day. The second he appears, I notice.’

‘I can even recognize him by sound now. I can tell it’s him just by his footsteps from far away.’

“I said he’s not here, and he’s definitely not here. You can wait on the sofa in the lobby. I have some things to attend to now.”

‘Hmph! How dare you doubt my devotion to Brother Chen Xiao. I can’t be bothered with you.’

Jin Wuxian was truly speechless. The Young Master of Shanyun Auto, showing up with a contract in hand, was getting the cold shoulder!

He wondered if he should post about this on his social media.

‘Never mind,’ he thought. ‘It’s too humiliating.’
