Chapter 1385: 942 Beauty and the Beast (Please vote for the monthly ticket!)_2
He got out of the car, walked to the door, and politely rang the doorbell.
About half a minute later, the door opened.
The face that appeared surprised Jiang Chen quite a bit.
“Miss Yang?”
“General Jiang?”
Yang Ni was also caught off guard. After a mont of eye contact, she quickly said, “General Jiang, please co in.”
Jiang Chen entered the villa.
Yang Ni is one of the few close friends of Pei Yunxi in the industry, so seeing her here wasn’t particularly surprising.
“Yun Xi, General Jiang is here.”
This villa was not entirely familiar to Jiang Chen, but definitely not unknown. What surprised him was that in the living room, Pei Yunxi was actually playing with a little girl.
She was bent over, shaking a rattle in her hand. The little girl seed to be younger than Luo Long’s daughter.
Before Jiang Chen’s thoughts could start processing, Yang Ni quickly explained, “My daughter, Nuan Nuan.”
Jiang Chen instantly understood.
The big uproar in the East Sea before was initially caused by Yang Ni’s conflict with her ex-husband over custody rights.
Pei Yunxi straightened up and seed quite calm about Jiang Chen’s sudden visit, at least on the surface.
“Nuan Nuan, co here.”
Yang Ni waved to her daughter.
The best way to nurture a bond is still through companionship.
Not by giving branded clothes or expensive gifts.
Especially when it cos to children.
After bringing her to the East Sea, Yang Ni, who insisted on doing everything herself rather than handing it over to a nanny, finally reaped the benefits.
Her daughter, to whom she was a stranger, no longer seed so unfamiliar and slowly walked over.
“Say hello to Uncle.”
Yang Ni squatted down and gently instructed her daughter. It was hard to imagine that such a strong and independent female star would have such a gentle side.
Perhaps that’s the power of motherhood.
The little girl looked up.
“If it weren’t for Uncle, mommy wouldn’t have been able to bring you by her side.”
It was clear that Yang Ni wasn’t saying this for her daughter; it was ant for Jiang Chen. This showed her cleverness, indicating that she hadn’t forgotten his kindness.
This little girl seed more introverted than Luo Long’s daughter, likely because she was younger. Yao Yao was naturally outgoing, but she was shy and didn’t call out; instead, she leaned closer to Yang Ni.
Yang Ni was awkward.
“It’s okay; maybe she thinks I’m an older brother.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile, instantly easing the atmosphere.
“We all know General Jiang is young, but titles can’t be mixed up, right, Yun Xi?”
Look at how tactful she is with people.
Skilled in social niceties, facing every direction, she assisted Jiang Chen in his jest while keeping everything in balance without overshadowing the host by shifting the focus to Pei Yunxi.
A woman who can achieve such success in the entertainnt industry definitely has her reasons.
“Have you eaten?”
Pei Yunxi asked.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. Although he shouldn’t have been, he couldn’t help but feel a little flattered.
“No.”
He answered honestly.
“I’ll order so food.”
Yang Ni imdiately said.
She knew she should leave with her daughter soon, but leaving in such a hurry might appear too deliberate.
“Nuan Nuan, co here, Uncle will tell you a story.”
Jiang Chen clapped his hands at the little girl.
With Yao Yao, he had gained great confidence, but Yang Ni’s daughter brought him back to reality, ignoring him completely.
“Nuan Nuan, co to Auntie.”
Pei Yunxi called out.
Auntie?
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but glance at her.
To be honest, using this term for her felt a bit awkward.
But then he realized, since he was already an uncle, it made sense.
As a youth raised under the red flag, he naturally upheld traditional moral standards in his heart.
Titles matter a lot and shouldn’t be mixed up.
Pei Yunxi definitely had so influence over the little girl, who hesitated for a mont, then slowly walked over from Yang Ni’s side.
Yang Ni was on her phone ordering food,
Expecting people like them to cook was unrealistic.
They could occasionally try,
But the damage from cooking fus to won is undeniable, and being celebrities, their image is crucial.
Besides, there probably weren’t any ingredients here.
Pei Yunxi bent down to pick up the little girl and sat on the sofa, her dostic side quite novel to Jiang Chen.
“Weren’t you going to tell a story?”
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then sat down on the sofa, “What should I tell?”
Pei Yunxi looked at him.
Though she didn’t show much expression, she seed quite speechless.
“Then let’s talk about Beauty and the Beast.”
Jiang Chen prepared for a mont, then started speaking.
“Once there was a lovely little girl, her grandmother gave her a beautiful little red riding hood, which she liked very much and wore every day. One morning, her grandmother fell ill, and her mother asked her to take wine and cake to her grandmother, advising her to be careful on the way and not to wander off. The little girl set off with her things, and as soon as she entered the forest, she encountered a wolf…”
As Jiang Chen began the story, a child’s voice rang out.
“I’ve heard this one.”
“It’s Little Red Riding Hood.”
Yang Ni’s daughter finally spoke up.
Jiang Chen paused.
Pei Yunxi, holding the child, turned her head, “Isn’t it Beauty and the Beast?”
“It is… Beauty and the Beast.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Even Yang Ni, who was ordering food, couldn’t help but chuckle.
Honestly speaking.
Little Red Riding Hood is indeed a beauty.
And the big bad wolf is certainly a beast.
“Let’s watch a cartoon.”
Pei Yunxi turned on the TV, not giving Jiang Chen a second chance. The child protested, there’s no point in listening again, and she heard that so fairy tales have altered versions. She truly worried that so people might blurt out nonsense and contaminate the children’s pure hearts.
Jiang Chen didn’t insist either, and watched the animation together, seeing the pig on the screen, he reflected nostalgically: “Kids nowadays are so unfortunate, our animations back then were so exciting, like Cooking Master Boy, Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk, Yu-Gi-Oh, The Four-Wheeled Brothers, Crayon Shin-chan…”
“Crayon Shin-chan isn’t for kids, right?”
Yang Ni chid in.
“Why not.” Jiang Chen laughed: “It’s just that people of different ages will have different perspectives watching it. Journey to the West has so many beauties, but as a kid, who wasn’t just focused on that monkey.”
Yang Ni smiled, not surprised, after all, they’ve not just t.
So n have almost nothing beneath their flashy exterior.
After dinner, Yang Ni tily said goodbye with her daughter, Pei Yunxi did not persuade them to stay.
Jiang Chen didn’t hypocritically pretend, he sat on the sofa, not seeing them off.
To put it bluntly, he truly didn’t need to be polite to a star, even if this one wasn’t an ordinary actress.
Even if he didn’t mind and was willing to see them off, Yang Ni wouldn’t be able to bear it and would feel uneasy instead.
Why bother.
“How long can she stay with the child?”
Jiang Chen asked Pei Yunxi, who walked over after seeing off Yang Ni and her daughter.
“A month.”
“That’s not bad. As the child grows older, she will gradually accept her.”
“Aren’t you in the Capital City?”
Pei Yunxi asked casually.
Ti is indeed the greatest magician.
Their situation alone now seems no longer so dull and rigid.
“Weren’t you the one who asked to co back?”
Jiang Chen perplexedly asked.
Pei Yunxi frowned.
“Last ti I called you, and you hung up before I finished speaking, saying you wanted to talk face to face, rember?”
Jiang Chen still hadn’t understood, but he was too lazy to think about it. He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly noticed that the national goddess and even the Eastern goddess he had once been intimate with appeared sowhat unusual.
She intended to sit down but lifted her bottom imdiately upon hearing his words, took a step back, and looked at him with a cautious gaze.
Jiang Chen paused, puzzled.
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Jiang Chen furrowed his brow in confusion, “Why are you so tense?”
“What do you intend to do?”
“…”
Jiang Chen was truly bewildered and then laughed, “What could I do? I just want to talk business with you. Serious business.”
The more he spoke, the more Pei Yunxi’s state beca abnormal, perhaps even a bit nervous.
No wonder people think wildly.
After all, he was soone who could twist Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad wolf into Beauty and the Beast.
“Sit down.”
Jiang Chen patted the sofa.
“What business?”
Pei Yunxi didn’t move, standing there asked.
“Sit down and I’ll tell you, am I going to harm you?”
Jiang Chen showed what he thought was a gentle smile.
But Pei Yunxi ignored it, remaining vigilant.
This was the real life version of Beauty and the Beast.
