With a loud "Bang," Bella Yang and the Su family disappeared behind the door. The crowd of onlookers, no longer having any excitement to watch, slowly dispersed like a receding tide. There was no doubt about it—Bella Yang had completely gone viral this time. It wouldn't be long before the entire Tianhai City would be talking about her "heroic deeds."
Maggie Jiang secretly sighed in relief. She had been at the back of the crowd earlier, and Bella Yang had spotted her, which had startled her a little. Thankfully, there were no mishaps, and the plot was still proceeding smoothly.
"The excitement's over, let's go." Maggie Jiang was in a particularly good mood, even humming a little tune to herself. To witness the iconic kneeling scene from the original plot and confirm that everything was still on track—this trip had truly been worth it.
However, Chase Jiang was still fuming, like a resentful little beast, unwilling to let Maggie Jiang off the hook. "Are you still planning to propose to Ethan Su?"
This question was like a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing Maggie Jiang's good mood. [What proposal? With Ethan Su in his current state, I'm actually worried he'll agree on the spot! But not proposing isn't an option either—this is such a headache!]
Chase Jiang remained calm, continuing to "add salt to the wound." "I think your chances are pretty good. Ethan Su didn't even show up today. What does that mean? It means he doesn't like Bella Yang, maybe even dislikes her. The pressure from the Su family might have triggered his rebellious side. This is a great opportunity, you need to seize it. So… when are you planning to propose?" Chase Jiang pretended to be concerned, analyzing it all as if he were an expert.
"Well… I want to propose soon, but the ring isn't ready yet. Even if I rush it, it'll be ready by next month." Maggie Jiang feigned regret, but internally she was ranting, [You really had to bring that up, didn't you? I don't need your analysis, I'm already at my wit's end.]
Chase Jiang couldn't help but grin secretly, his heart pleased. This is what you get for bullying me, scumbag! I'll drive you crazy!
The two of them walked slowly towards the Jiang family. Halfway there, Chase Jiang suddenly spoke up. "Maggie Jiang, I want to watch a movie this afternoon."
"If you want to watch, go ahead. No need to report it to me." Maggie Jiang absentmindedly brushed him off, her mind already occupied with the next plot developments. She couldn't be bothered with Chase Jiang.
"You're coming with me." Chase Jiang's gaze locked onto Maggie Jiang.
"Why?" Maggie Jiang gave him a bewildered glance, growing more and more confused by Chase Jiang's recent behavior. [What's going on with him? Why is he suddenly so clingy? Could it be that he likes me? No way, I'm the one chasing Ethan Su, and he's more active than anyone in that pursuit! What kind of weird thought process is this? I really don't get it!]
Chase Jiang pouted and said, "No reason. I'm asking you again, will you come with me or not?"
"I won't." Maggie Jiang refused firmly. "I've got business, I'm meeting with Victor Shen at his company."
Chase Jiang's eyes narrowed as an idea crossed his mind. "Then I'll go too."
"What are you going to do there? You wanted to watch a movie, didn't you?" Maggie Jiang was getting a headache.
"I'm bored."
"If you're bored, find something fun to do. Why do you have to keep bothering me?"
"You have to be responsible for me." Chase Jiang looked at her with innocent big eyes.
"I just touched your hand, didn't even rub it, and now I have to be responsible? You're trying to scam me!"
Chase Jiang's face immediately flushed red all the way to his ears. I've never even touched a woman's hand, and you did this to me? He couldn't help but pinch Maggie Jiang's waist again, "Are you going to take me with you or not?"
"Hiss… Can you go a bit easier? Fine, fine, I'll take you. Now let go." Maggie Jiang was completely helpless. [I regret it so much! Why did I think I could help him? I should've just left him to his own devices! Now look, I've got a stalker. Bella Yang, your husband might run away soon!]
Chase Jiang, satisfied, didn't argue any longer. In a good mood, he grabbed her hand and started walking back to the house.
After lunch, in the Jiang family's study, Maggie Jiang was giving instructions to a woman. "Did you memorize the information I gave you? Try to speak less and keep a cool, aloof image. If there's anything you don't understand, write it down and ask me later. Got it?"
"Got it." The woman nodded in response.
"Also, don't expose me. This is all your idea, it has nothing to do with me."
"Okay, don't worry, Miss Jiang." The woman nodded again.
This woman was one of the "business experts" Maggie Jiang had hired to help Victor Shen. She had been a down-and-out actress, but Maggie Jiang saw potential in her looks and acting skills, so she brought her in as a stand-in.
"Alright, let's go. Be careful, don't let anything slip."
As they arrived at the parking lot, Chase Jiang was already waiting. Upon seeing Maggie Jiang, he beamed and waved, "Why are you so slow? I've been waiting forever. This must be… the expert?"
Maggie Jiang smiled and nodded, "Judy Han, one of the top business tycoons in Xia country."
"Hello, I'm Chase Jiang." Chase Jiang greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. Here's my business card." Judy Han handed over his card, keeping his head down the entire time.
Today, Chase Jiang seemed like a completely different person, wearing a perfectly tailored suit that showed off his physique. His pale face was adorned with a pure, light smile, creating a striking contrast. Judy Han didn't know the relationship between Chase Jiang and Maggie Jiang, and he didn't dare to look too long. After all, he had never seen a man so handsome before.
Even Maggie Jiang herself couldn't help but wonder, [What's with Chase Jiang's sudden change in style? This is the first time I've seen him dress like this… it's a bit hard to get used to.]
