Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 660 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and

In the night in Shenzhen, the high-rise buildings are brightly lit and the traffic flows.

A black Cullinan drove slowly and eventually stopped in front of the hotel.

After the car door opened, a tall and slender figure stepped out.

The figure was simply too dazzling. Wearing a well-tailored custom-made suit, with a slender waist and long, straight legs, he looked like a model when he stood slightly beside the car, making everyone who saw him unable to help but take a second look.

Immediately afterwards, another young man, also dressed in a suit, got out of the car.

Zhou Xi looked at Jiang Xiyu's expressionless face, smiled slightly, and said, "We finished early today, so go back and get some rest."

Jiang Xiyu took off her headset and casually replied, "Mm."

Business matters had nothing to do with him. He came to Shenzhen simply to act as Zhou Xi's bodyguard as agreed. Therefore, Jiang Xiyu didn't care much about the timing.

However, after seeing Zhou Xi's various situations for a long time, Jiang Xiyu still felt somewhat annoyed.

Flattery and fawning.

Most of the young men his age were preoccupied with eating, drinking, and having fun, but Zhou Xi was different. He started getting involved in his family's business at a very young age. Jiang Xiyu met him when he was still in high school, and even then, Zhou Xi already exuded a shrewd and calculating air about him.

Especially after several years, and now that he's an adult, the aura emanating from Zhou Xi is even more intimidating.

This is why Jiang Xiyu can have a lot of fun with Lu Ziqi and the others, but she always restrains herself, intentionally or unintentionally, in front of Zhou Xi.

The two walked into the hotel together, with Jiang Xiyu following behind Zhou Xi.

Suddenly, a gaze fell upon him, intense and undeniable.

Jiang Xiyu subtly tilted her head.

There were still people checking in in the hotel lobby, and their eyes were drawn to this side.

Jiang Xiyu's gaze swept over them one by one, and only slowly withdrew his gaze when he found nothing unusual.

Zhou Xi noticed his scrutiny, paused, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xiyu replied casually, "It's nothing."

Maybe it's an illusion.

After taking the elevator to the top floor and returning to his suite, Jiang Xiyu took off his suit jacket, leaned back on the sofa, and checked his phone for messages.

Being by Zhou Xi's side, he didn't have much time to look at the messages; he could only reply to a few at night.

But Bai Chengci is a chatterbox, constantly talking.

Before Jiang Xiyu could reply, the other side seemed to know he was resting and sent him a message.

[Bai Chengci: Are you done with your work?]

Jiang Xiyu was too lazy to type, so she pressed voice reply and simply said, "Mm."

Bai Chengci also sent a voice message, her tone revealing no emotion, asking: Have you had dinner yet?

Jiang Xiyu: "I ate it."

Bai Chengci: "Can I call you? I miss you so much. You haven't replied to my messages all day."

Jiang Xiyu glanced at the message he sent and realized that she had indeed replied very little, so she agreed and said, "Okay."

The next second, a video call came in.

Jiang Xiyu answered the call without hesitation, and Bai Chengci's face immediately appeared on the screen.

In the video, Bai Chengci's pupils visibly contracted.

He didn't speak, but just stared at Jiang Xiyu.

Jiang Xiyu tilted her head slightly to look at him, but did not speak.

Bai Chengci blinked a few times before she seemed to realize what was happening and said, "I've never seen you like this before."

Jiang Xiyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "What kind?"

Bai Chengci's face remained expressionless, but her tone was serious as she praised, "Beautiful."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Bai Chengci had never seen Jiang Xiyu with his hair done up. His forehead was full and smooth, with only a few strands falling on the side. His sharp and affectionate eyebrows and eyes, when he glanced over, exuded an aggressive tension that was almost overwhelming.

It's as if just one more glance would make your legs go weak.

The air was quiet for a few seconds.

Seeing that he wasn't blinking, Jiang Xiyu suddenly smiled indifferently and lightly scolded him, "Nonsense."

Bai Chengci pursed her lips slightly and asked in a low voice, "Are you wearing a suit?"

Jiang Xiyu: "Mm."

Bai Chengci repeated, "It's really beautiful."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Bai Chengci thought for a moment, then lowered her eyes and said, "Could you stand up so I can see?"

"What kind of request is this?" Jiang Xiyu refused, saying, "No."

"why?"

"trouble."

Bai Chengci said "Oh".

Jiang Xiyu loosened his tie, exhaled, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Bai Chengci's eyes flickered, and she slowly shook her head.

In the brief moment between his head-shaking, Jiang Xiyu noticed the background behind him, squinted at it for a moment, and realized something was wrong.

This wasn't the background Bai Chengci usually used when video chatting with him, nor did it resemble his home.

Jiang Xiyu felt the background looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, so she casually asked, "Aren't you home?"

Bai Chengci paused for a moment, her expression unchanged, and simply hummed in agreement. Then, she subtly blocked the background, saying, "I'm outside."

Jiang Xiyu didn't think much of it, but unusually asked, "Why did you go outside?"

Bai Chengci thought for a moment, lowered her eyes, and said softly, "My mother told me to come out."

What are you doing out here?

Bai Chengci remained silent, looking as if she had done something wrong and had been kicked out by her family.

Jiang Xiyu thought about what he had told her earlier. Although she didn't know the specifics of Bai Chengci's family situation, she had already decided in her heart that Bai Chengci was rich but not loving.

"what happened?"

Bai Chengci calmly said, "My mom suspects I'm in a relationship."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

Bai Chengci continued, glancing cautiously at Jiang Xiyu: "She saw my phone wallpaper and suspects I'm dating you."

Jiang Xiyu: "..."

He thought about it and did remember that Bai Chengci had used his photo as wallpaper.

The worst part is that not only is it used as wallpaper, but it's also framed with a heart.

So now that my family has discovered and suspected me, who can I blame?

Jiang Xiyu's face turned cold, his eyes conveying a sense of "he deserved it," and he asked again, "What did you say when you were seen?"

Bai Chengci opened her lips, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

“I was going to say I…” He started to speak, but then suddenly stopped. “Never mind, I’d better not say it.”

Jiang Xiyu frowned, sat up slightly, and said, "Speak!"

Bai Chengci pursed her lips, avoiding Jiang Xiyu's gaze, and said in a muffled, light voice, "I said, I have a crush on you..."

"..."

Jiang Xiyu remained silent for a few seconds before coldly curling her lip, her tone displeased: "So you were the only one they kicked out?"

Bai Chengci was somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Xiyu saw him looking at her and sneered, "Didn't your mother break your legs?"

How dare she say she has a crush on me?

Is it a good thing for parents if their son has a crush on another man?

Bai Chengci: "..."

Before he could speak, Jiang Xiyu cursed again, "Serves you right."

"..." Bai Chengci's Adam's apple bobbed, then she silently sniffed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu's expression vanished.

He was quiet for a while.

Actually, Jiang Xiyu wasn't unaware of Bai Chengci's little tricks, but she still asked him, "Do you have any money on you?"

Bai Chengci paused for a moment, realizing he was concerned about her, and nodded: "Yes."

Looking at that background, it seems like the place is quite nice to live in.

Jiang Xiyu then said, "Okay, go back in a few days and apologize to your mother."

“No,” Bai Chengci said.

Jiang Xiyu: "?"

Bai Chengci stared at him intently, her gaze serious and unusually stubborn: "I like you, and I'm not wrong."

If we can't reach an agreement, I won't go home.

Jiang Xiyu was quite tired after standing all day, and then this unpleasant thing happened to him, so his face immediately turned a bit pale. "Are you stupid?"

They have no relationship whatsoever, what's the point of making a scene in front of their parents?

Bai Chengci seemed indifferent to this, but under Jiang Xiyu's gaze, she slowly lowered her head and remained silent.

The camera panned, and Bai Chengci's face disappeared from the video.

Just as Jiang Xiyu was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Zhou Xi's voice came through clearly.

"have you slept?"

Jiang Xiyu frowned, wondering why Zhou Xi had come to see her at this time.

He glanced down at his phone instinctively, but couldn't see Bai Chengci's face, so he planned to hang up.

However, Bai Chengci coldly replied, "You and him share a room?"

"No." Jiang Xiyu didn't know why, but judging from the tone of his voice, she explained, adding, "He's staying in the other room of the suite."

Bai Chengci lowered her voice and said calmly, "Then we can be considered to be living together."

Jiang Xiyu: "You're overthinking it."

There was another knock on the door.

Bai Chengci heard this and said, "He called you. If you want to hang up, then hang up. I'm alone, it's okay."

Jiang Xiyu didn't rush to open the door, but lowered her voice impatiently and said, "Show your face, what are you hiding for?"

Bai Chengci was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Can I refuse?"

Jiang Xiyu chuckled dismissively, seemingly speechless: "Get lost."

Bai Chengci's tone remained flat, "I'm afraid you'll be jealous if you see me."

Jiang Xiyu was speechless.

It's like you can't see him and therefore don't know he's jealous.

However, not wanting to keep Zhou Xi waiting too long, Jiang Xiyu stood up and said, "I'll hang up now, we'll talk later."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the video call before a very soft, seemingly emotionless "hmm."

Jiang Xiyu hung up the phone and went to open the door. Zhou Xi was standing at the door, already changed into different clothes.

Seeing that he opened the door so late, Zhou Xi's expression was uncertain, and she only said, "Why did you open the door so late?"

Jiang Xiyu handled the situation smoothly, "I was in the restroom just now and didn't hear you. Is there anything else, Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Xi's complexion improved, and her tone softened: "I noticed you didn't eat much tonight, so I had someone bring some food up. Let's eat together."

A tone that doesn't easily allow for refusal.

Jiang Xiyu agreed: "Okay."

Stepping out of the room and into the dining area, I found waiters setting out Western food.

After setting everything up, the waiter lit candles, poured red wine, and left respectfully only after everything was done.

Jiang Xiyu then went over to take a look, her gaze deepening.

Zhou Xi pulled out a chair for Jiang Xiyu and looked at her, saying, "I didn't know what you liked, so I just ordered a little bit of everything."

Jiang Xiyu said, "Brother Zhou, you're too kind."

He didn't sit in the seat Zhou Xi had pulled out, but simply smiled politely again and said, "Please sit down."

Zhou Xi saw that he smiled and didn't pursue the matter further.

After sitting down, Jiang Xiyu walked to the opposite side of him.

Zhou Xi picked up her wine glass, raised her hand towards him, and said something perfunctory: "You've had a hard time these past few days."

Jiang Xiyu picked up the cup as if to reply, and said casually, "Brother Zhou, what are you saying?"

It's just a matter of taking money and doing favors for people.

Zhou Xi seemed to laugh when she heard this, but it was also as if she didn't.

He took a sip of red wine, glanced at the dishes on the table, and said, "Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Jiang Xiyu symbolically cut a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, swallowed it, and commented, "Not bad."

Zhou Xi smiled slightly: "After I'm done with my work in a few days, I'll take you to Shenzhen for a few days."

Jiang Xiyu: "Okay."

Zhou Xi put down his wine glass and casually asked, "Are you going back to your hometown next month?"

"Ah."

"What are you doing back?"

"Go back and have a look."

"Alone?"

"Bring my sister along."

Zhou Xi paused for a moment, then said ambiguously, "Only your sister?"

Jiang Xiyu's hand holding the knife and fork tightened for a moment, then she asked in a normal tone, "Otherwise?"

Zhou Xi smiled, but there was no real smile in her eyes. "It's fine."

Jiang Xiyu felt that the way he looked at her was somewhat scrutinizing and strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

Being around Zhou Xi always felt like dealing with a smiling tiger.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Xiyu didn't take the initiative to speak either.

The air suddenly became quiet, with only the occasional soft clinking of knives and forks.

The candlelight on the dining table was bright, and the flowers placed beside it were in full bloom.

Jiang Xiyu pretended not to notice the suggestive dinner and continued eating her food.

Until there was a knock on the suite door.

Jiang Xiyu was about to get up and open the door.

Zhou Xi told him to sit down and went to open the door himself.

The waiter pushed out a food cart, saying it was for takeout.

Zhou Xi assumed that Jiang Xiyu had ordered it beforehand, so he had it brought in.

Jiang Xiyu looked at it and assumed that it was he who ordered it.

When the lid was opened, all that was inside were green vegetables, which looked absolutely unappetizing.

Zhou Xi glanced at it and said, "You have rather bland tastes."

Judging from the look, he didn't order it.

Jiang Xiyu immediately thought of it, and after a few seconds of silence, she could only hold back: "Well, it's late at night, so it's good to eat something light."

Zhou Xi sat down and tried it.

As soon as he took a bite, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiyu and frowned.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Xiyu also took a bite.

As a result, that bite almost killed him with its sourness.

Damn, how much vinegar did they pour in?

Pickled mustard greens?

Zhou Xi, however, assumed that he had specially requested it and asked in a complicated tone, "Do you like to be jealous?"

Jiang Xiyu paused for a second, resisting the urge to spit out the vegetable leaves, and said with a forced smile, "It's alright."

Bai Cheng Porcelain!

He really wanted to stuff the whole plate of vegetable leaves into his mouth.

Damn, it's so sour.
