Ma Long was well aware that as the president of the Shen Group, Shen Lingxue was constantly surrounded by countless talented young n.
But without exception, she had used her career as an excuse to politely reject them all.
But now, she was actually going to pursue a re driver?
Ma Long grew more and more confused, only snapping out of it when Jiang Xinghai blew a puff of smoke in his face.
"So, you need sothing?" Jiang Xinghai asked, a faint smile on his lips.
"Mr. Jiang, have you... accepted Lingxue's advances?" Ma Long asked, seemingly resigned to this reality.
He had witnessed Jiang Xinghai's skills the night before and knew the man was anything but ordinary.
After he had returned ho last night, Qu Xiangrui had paid him a visit.
When Qu Xiangrui told him how even Cheng Zhipeng, the powerful Patriarch of the Cheng Family, had long since submitted to Jiang Xinghai, he had begun to feel a sense of reverence for the man.
'This man is far more than the simple driver he appears to be.'
He had already decided to back down. There was no need to vie with Jiang Xinghai for a woman's affection.
Jiang Xinghai took a drag from his cigarette, ignoring the question. "Were you the one who set up the roses downstairs?"
"The ones you ran over?" Ma Long blurted out.
"Ma Long, I saved you because you risked your life to protect Lingxue and Yanyun last night," Jiang Xinghai's tone grew cold. "It's one thing not to repay that debt, but are you really so blind to the situation that you'd try to make a move on my woman?"
Ma Long was a smart man. He imdiately shook his head and gave his assurance. "No, no, of course not. I won't cause any trouble. Please, don't worry, Mr. Jiang. I understand."
"What are you two talking about that's so secretive?"
Just then, Shen Lingyin ca out and linked her arm through Jiang Xinghai's. "Co on, Xinghai. Let's go downstairs and eat."
Her action left even Jiang Xinghai stunned.
Ma Long, standing awkwardly to the side, was also taken aback.
'What's going on?'
'Isn't it a bit much for Jiang Xinghai to be so intimate with his prospective sister-in-law?'
'Oh, no.'
'Does Jiang Xinghai want them both?'
'After all, the Shen sisters, despite their five-year age gap, were both stunning in looks and figure. Has one man really captured both of them just like that?'
"Ma Long, why don't you join us for lunch in the company restaurant?"
Just then, Shen Lingxue also ca out and extended the invitation.
At the sa ti, she saw Shen Lingyin walk into the elevator arm-in-arm with Jiang Xinghai, and a wave of worry washed over her.
She recalled Shen Lingyin saying last night that she was going to test Jiang Xinghai even more boldly today.
'If you play with fire, you might get burned.'
'If she pushes Jiang Xinghai past his limit, Shen Lingyin will definitely be…'
"Ma Long, hurry!"
Shen Lingxue hurried toward the elevator with quick steps, and Ma Long had no choice but to follow close behind.
Inside the elevator, Shen Lingxue turned to Jiang Xinghai. "How are the preparations for the security departnt's assessnt coming along?"
"Training is still underway today. The assessnt will take place after lunch tomorrow, and we'll need you there to personally supervise, President Shen," Jiang Xinghai reported professionally.
Shen Lingxue nodded. The elevator soon arrived on the first floor.
She shot Shen Lingyin a few pointed looks, but her sister ignored them.
Shen Lingxue had no choice but to let it go.
After they walked out of the lobby, they saw the roses that had been crushed by tire tracks.
Ma Long sighed in frustration, but knowing Jiang Xinghai was the one who did it, there was nothing he could do.
Besides, he had already given up on pursuing Shen Lingxue.
"Such beautiful flowers, all crushed. What a sha," Jiang Xinghai said with a smirk.
Ma Long nearly stumbled when he heard that.
'This 'thief crying stop thief' routine is impossible to defend against.'
"It is a sha," Shen Lingxue said, shaking her head with a wry smile.
Shen Lingyin, however, looked at Ma Long. "Ma Long, you should check the security footage. Find out which blind bastard crushed the gift you prepared for my sister."
"No, no, that's not necessary." Ma Long wouldn't dare check the footage.
The group went into the restaurant for lunch.
「After lunch.」
Ma Long extended a sincere invitation. "Mr. Jiang, to show my gratitude for you saving my life last night, I'm hosting a dinner in your honor tonight. Please don't refuse."
Jiang Xinghai glanced at Shen Lingxue and Shen Lingyin.
"And the two Miss Shens, of course. My father will be there personally to host you," Ma Long added with utmost sincerity.
"I'm sorry, but I have to finish organizing my files today. I have new plans for tomorrow."
Shen Lingxue declined the invitation. "Besides, Yanyun is coming to the office later to discuss founding the costics company. I'm just too busy these next few days."
Ma Long nodded in understanding and was about to take his leave.
"Give a ride."
Just then, Jiang Xinghai stopped Ma Long, then turned to Shen Lingxue. "Lingxue, I promised Lin Liping I'd help her with the Jishan Hall assessnt, so I won't be back this afternoon."
He was leaving the car so the two won could drive ho after work.
Soon, the car arrived at Jishan Hall.
"Xinghai's here!"
Lin Liping had been anxiously watching the entrance. When she saw Jiang Xinghai get out of a sports sedan, she hurried over to greet him.
"Xinghai!"
Feng Lulu, who had been playing on her phone, also rushed out when she heard his na.
The scene made Ma Long incredibly envious.
'Jiang Xinghai is really popular!'
'Never mind the heavenly beauty of the two Shen sisters; the two won right here were devastatingly gorgeous as well.'
