Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Who Is That Man?

The next day, the sky was bright.

The lazy sunshine poured through the window onto Jiang Chuan's chiseled face. He slowly opened his bleary eyes, stretched lazily, and sat up from bed.

Jiang Chuan had walked the edge of death for many years, and had long developed a kind of alertness while sleeping. He would wake at any slightest noise, but for some reason, this time he slept deeply and was not awakened by any sound.

Maybe it was related to last night's mood!

After going downstairs and freshening up, Jiang Chuan poured himself a glass of milk.

Then he sat on the sofa, casually picked up the newspaper beside him, enjoying the pleasant time!

Yanbei City is a very beautiful city; here there is only peace, no slaughter.

About five or six minutes later, there was a sound from the stairs. Qiu Qianyu came down from upstairs, wearing a light blue top and casual jeans that wrapped around her straight long legs. Her delicate face wore light makeup, giving her an icy beauty with a touch of surprise.

Jiang Chuan looked at Qiu Qianyu, his eyes filled with doubt.

Qiu Qianyu also saw Jiang Chuan sitting on the sofa. As she thought of being pressed down by this guy last night, tearing her nightdress, her expression changed slightly, and her originally cold face suddenly turned even colder.

"Hmph..."

Qiu Qianyu snorted lightly, went to the fridge, and poured herself a glass of milk.

Jiang Chuan rubbed his fingers under his nose. Neither of them acknowledged each other, as if they were familiar strangers living under the same roof.

Just then, there was a roar of an engine from outside the villa. Before long, a well-dressed, handsome man walked in from outside, holding a bouquet of roses.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the man indifferently, finally focusing on the bouquet in the man's arms. His brows furrowed slightly, an annoyance rising in his heart. Is this guy treating me like air?

Although Jiang Chuan was annoyed, he remained quietly composed. With Qiu Qianyu's looks and capability, surely she wouldn't lack suitors around her...

"Qianyu, this is for you!"

Wang Shao Yi quickly walked to Qiu Qianyu's side, holding the bouquet of roses with eager eyes, and warmly said, "Qianyu, I know you like roses. This bunch of blue roses is specially prepared for you."

Qiu Qianyu hesitated slightly, glancing subtly at the sofa, seeing Jiang Chuan smilingly watching her. She bit her lip, still reached out, and held the bouquet in her arms: "Thank you!"

"I'm glad you like it!" Wang Shao Yi beamed, opening his mouth to say more, but his peripheral vision swept aside, and his expression instantly changed.

Man?

Who is that man sitting on the sofa?

Why is there a man in Qiu Qianyu's house?

"Qianyu, this one is..." Wang Shao Yi asked with a grim face.

Qiu Qianyu glanced at Jiang Chuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My newly hired driver!"

"Oh!"

Wang Shao Yi's expression instantly relaxed, showing a smile to Jiang Chuan, nodded politely, and then looked at Qiu Qianyu again: "Qianyu, I've arranged the venture capital for you. We can't keep them waiting long; we should head over early!"

"Okay!"

Qiu Qianyu's expression instantly turned serious: "Let's go now!"

"Please..." Wang Shao Yi bowed slightly, gesturing invitingly.

"Heh..."

Watching the backs of Qiu Qianyu and Wang Shao Yi, Jiang Chuan's lips curled into an intriguing smile. His gaze flickered as he slowly stood up, saying, "I'll go with you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shao Yi stopped in his tracks, looking at Jiang Chuan, his eyes slightly deepened.

"You..." Qiu Qianyu also looked at Jiang Chuan, but saw Jiang Chuan smilingly watching her. She felt a bit annoyed, coldly said, "What are you going for?"

Jiang Chuan adjusted his clothes and walked slowly toward the door, finally looking at Qiu Qianyu's face, grinning, "The boss is giving out paychecks, I can't afford to slack off as a driver, right? Don't you think so, 'Boss'?"

"Hmph!" Qiu Qianyu bit her teeth, a barely audible snort.

She knew Jiang Chuan was responding to her earlier words.
