Chapter 8: He Wants to Be the First to Win Her Heart with Proximity

"The Crown Prince is really manly, actually laying hands on a woman. Heh!"

Jiang Zeshen was dressed in a black suit, one hand in his pocket. His eyes were filled with mockery as he looked at Fu Qingye.

When Shen Youjin saw him, her eyes lit up. Although Jiang Zeshen was a bit of a playboy, he was definitely considerate towards women.

Fu Qingye's eyes suddenly turned cold. He caught a glimpse of the look in Shen Youjin's eyes when she saw Jiang Zeshen, as if she had seen a savior. He wished he could tear the man in front of him to pieces.

"I'm talking to my woman. It's not up to others to butt in!"

"Really?" Jiang Zeshen walked over with a faint smile, pulling Shen Youjin into his arms in one go. He looked at Fu Qingye provocatively. "I remember you two broke up a long time ago. If the Crown Prince has a bad memory, I can find a doctor to help you out. Oh, right. I heard that kidney deficiency can lead to memory loss!"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Youjin in his arms in front of everyone. "Baby, am I right?"

The relaxed heart in Shen Youjin's chest tightened again. This man was so naughty. She had just been grateful to him for coming to her rescue. Sure enough, Jiang Zeshen was not an easy person to deal with!

"Shall we go back now?" She looked up, showing a weak expression. "I'm scared."

She didn't answer his question directly, but she gave Jiang Zeshen enough face. It was a win - win situation.

"Alright then!" He stroked her head, looking indulgent. "I'll take you for a drive. How about that?"

Taking Shen Youjin away right in front of the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince was probably going to have a sleepless night!

Fu Qingye watched this scene, his tongue pressing against the roof of his mouth. He tried his best to restrain himself from throwing the red wine glass in his hand.

This woman, how dare she show affection with another man right in front of him?

"Shen Youjin, you dare to leave!" Fu Qingye shouted her name through gritted teeth. "If you step out of this room, you'll never know the answer in your life!"

Shen Youjin looked at him calmly. That look was all too familiar to Fu Qingye.

The moment the door closed again, the red wine glass shattered. The bright red wine stain soaked through his white shirt and cut his finger. The scene instantly turned chaotic.

"Shen Youjin! You're really something!" He pushed away the people who came to check on his wound, grinding his teeth. "And Jiang Zeshen, you just wait for me!"

...

A few minutes later, in the quiet parking lot, Shen Youjin was sitting in the passenger seat, looking down at her phone screen. All the messages on it were from Fu Qingye.

"Shen Youjin, did you find such a man just to make me angry? Do you know how messy his love life is?"

"One Bai Beichen wasn't enough, and now there's a Jiang Zeshen. You're really something!"

"Come back to me. Do you hear me!"

"..."

The messages were all the same, over and over again, with no new ideas at all. She was too lazy to read them anymore. She turned to Jiang Zeshen and said, "Thank you just now."

Anyway, if he hadn't shown up in time, after downing that glass of strong liquor, she would have lost her baby.

Jiang Zeshen held a cigarette between his slender fingers, but he didn't light it.

"Just say thank you with your mouth?" He turned his head and looked at her with interest. "If it's just with your mouth, I hope it's in a different way."

"..." Shen Youjin didn't respond. She just said, "I'm too tired today. I know a good Western restaurant. How about I treat you to dinner tomorrow night?"

Jiang Zeshen knew she was deliberately changing the topic, but he didn't refuse. "Sure! I'll wait for the little princess's call tomorrow."

Seeing the way Shen Youjin had avoided Fu Qingye just now really made him feel good.

He drove Shen Youjin back to her place. When she got out of the car, he didn't pester her. He left in a good mood.

Shen Youjin opened the door and finally collapsed completely on the soft sofa!

Life was not easy. She really couldn't understand how that old fox Gu Zhiyuan managed to maintain such a high - intensity mental state every day. Wasn't he tired?

That night, to avoid Fu Qingye's bombardment of messages, she simply turned off her phone.

When she turned it on the next day, she just washed up, changed her clothes, and went to work, completely ignoring the more than a dozen missed calls on her phone.

The days when she loved the Crown Prince were over. At that time, she was willing to be under his control, but later it only led to his intensifying tyranny.

On a sunny day, in the wealthy area of Kyoto, Jiang Zeshen was standing in front of his luxury car, but his face was terribly gloomy.

This was the car he had been waiting for a month for, but now there was a deep dent on the front of the car, obviously caused by someone's violent smashing.

"Mr. Jiang, the surveillance cameras nearby have been damaged. We can't find out who did it for now..."

The staff member was trembling with fear, afraid that this financial tycoon would make him unemployed if he was in a bad mood.

Jiang Zeshen made a phone call. Soon, a new - style sports car drove over. He opened the driver's door and said coldly to the staff member, "Fix the surveillance cameras as soon as possible. If there's a next time, you can all quit!"

The staff member nodded repeatedly, feeling like crying.

He stepped on the accelerator and drove to the office building. Looking at the message that popped up on his phone, Jiang Zeshen let out a cold snort.

Heh, he knew it was Fu Qingye who did it. This Crown Prince really couldn't hold his temper. He couldn't even wait for a single day!

But he didn't have time to deal with him now. He had something more important to do, like inspecting the newly acquired company!

"Wow, is this Young Master Jiang who acquired our company? He's so handsome!"

"He must be here to see Yun Mianmian. He's rich and good - looking. Why can't I meet a man like this?"

"Yun Mianmian is so lucky. No wonder she's so arrogant in the company usually!"

"..."

Jiang Zeshen frowned and stopped in his tracks. Just as he was about to say something, the elevator door opened.

"Mr. Jiang, the meeting is about to start."

Someone reminded him. He withdrew his gaze and stepped into the elevator.

He didn't need to be present in person for a small company like this, but if he didn't show up to assert his presence, some people might think that he, "Mr. Jiang", was just a figurehead. It wouldn't be convenient for him to be the first to win her heart with proximity!

Ten minutes later, Shen Youjin finally got her first task.

"Xiao Shen, go to the meeting room and give this to Mr. Jiang."

Sister Zhao handed a report to Shen Youjin and asked her to do the job. There was a hint of imperceptible arrogance in her tone.

Shen Youjin responded and knocked on the door of the meeting room with the report in hand.

"Mr. Jiang, here's the report you asked for!"

She was wearing a neat white shirt and light - brown suit pants. Her long hair was pulled up, looking neat and beautiful.

Jiang Zeshen was sitting upright in a suit, looking quite presentable. He gently hooked the corner of his mouth, showing a familiar smile.

In an instant, an alarm bell rang in Shen Youjin's heart. She had a bad feeling!
