I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2184 - 1396: Kidney Function

"Where is Youmao?"

Even though a powerhouse like Sister Luck had backed off in defeat, another person showed no trace of shame at all.

"Why did you bring her here to the bar?"

Cao Jinse fiddled with the stem of her wine glass and responded on impulse, casually as ever.

However.

She had revealed too much.

Her previous account had obviously stated they were only strolling about.

The perceptive Boss Jiang chose not to point it out, pretending he hadn't caught the slip in her story.

"In these eras of massive shifts, caution is always wise."

Cao Jinse nearly choked on her Mojito, then grinned, "That's quite perceptive. Yet we're in Kyoto—what risks could possibly lurk?"

Jiang Chen propped his elbow against the bar and stared at the shelves packed with liquor bottles, staying quiet.

Not even Kyoto offers complete security.

Didn't Prince Ye just share that amusing tale?

"Do you need something?"

Cao Jinse abruptly inquired, turning her focus to the female bartender's features.

Startled by her odd stare, the female bartender shook her head hastily.

Capable of forcing Sister Luck to withdraw.

Just who is this stunning lady?

Cao Jinse paid it no heed and had likely dismissed the prior event already. Regardless of its intrigue, it remained merely a minor happening in her existence.

"How did things go in your discussion with Song Chaoge?"

"It was fine. He consented to release her."

"Apart from that, did you discuss anything more?"

Cao Jinse cocked her head to the side.

Jiang Chen took a sip from his glass.

"Hey, as your sugar mommy, you must reply to all my questions—no holding back on details."

Before he could reply, Cao Jinse hastily tacked on, "Those were your exact words."

Indeed.

Sister Luck would confirm it; he was the one who introduced the phrase "sugar mommy" first.

"We covered quite a few topics."

With no way to dodge it, Jiang Chen opted for honesty.

"Such as?"

Cao Jinse queried in a relaxed manner, chuckling lightly, "The evening stretches on—share the details."

"That's the privacy of others; it's improper to disclose."

"Haha."

Cao Jinse shot back right away, "You shared with my brother, but now it's confidential for me? I've been acquainted with Song Chaoge from young, so I know everything about him."

"In that case, ask him yourself."

"Why bother with him?"

Cao Jinse chuckled, "I prefer hearing it from you."

Jiang Chen took another sip, keeping his silence.

With him playing the enigmatic type, Cao Jinse ceased her probing. As a pampered heiress, she needed to maintain her poise and avoid being manipulated.

She finished the Mojito in a single swallow.

"Another one."

Several minutes passed.

"Another one."

...

"Another one."

Such a hassle.

It would be simpler to utter "again."

Cocktails might resemble sodas in taste, but they pack alcohol, and excess can lead to intoxication.

Furthermore, Princess Cao's capacity for liquor appeared rather average.

"How do you plan to return home if you overindulge?"

Jiang Chen felt compelled to step in.

"I'm no kid; I won't lose my way back."

Unbothered, Cao Jinse tilted her elegant neck for yet another drink.

"Feel free to stay with me longer if you'd like. Otherwise, go ahead and depart."

Calm and composed, Jiang Chen stated his position: "I'll depart once you do."

"Relax, it's only drinking. Don't worry so much—I handle myself fine."

Jiang Chen stayed mute, staying put and apparently unaware, his eyes locked on the liquor shelves, embodying the silent, attractive gentleman.

Cao Jinse fell quiet too, absorbing the upbeat tunes while nursing her beverage.

Does quietness truly surpass speech in depth?

Not quite.

A touch of pique lingered.

Once his worry was brushed off, Jiang Chen truly quit advising her, allowing Cao Jinse to indulge freely.

That checks out.

He's no Cao Xiugo, lacking the right to lecture her; they're merely acquaintances.

Without question, Cao Jinse possesses firm views. Noticing his disinterest in chatting, she refrained from sparking talk herself.

Yet they couldn't remain deadlocked forever, right?

On every front, victory can't be shared; compromise comes from one party.

Thus, Jiang Chen broke first. He halted the bartender's pour, rose silently, exited, leaving just an empty glass at the edge of Princess Cao's sight.

Her mouth pressed together unwittingly, yet Princess Cao refrained from glancing over. Moments later, she blankly questioned the female bartender, "Has he settled the tab?"

"..."

Females grasp each other most intuitively.

The female bartender, deep in reverie, grew even more daunted by her aura. Typically adept at fending off advances from rich scions, she now felt stumped. Ultimately, she stuck to reality, hesitantly whispering, "Sister Luck mentioned that the gentleman charged it to her account."

Cao Jinse clutched the glass stem and drained it swiftly.

"Another one."

The least perceptive server would detect the issue, let alone the sharp staff here.

"Miss, would you like another? Watch out for getting tipsy."

Princess Cao's charm lies in concealing feelings from strangers and never faulting them.

"It's fine."

With a faint smile, she comforted the bartender.

Lacking alternatives, the bartender proceeded, sliding what might be the night's countless Mojito her way.

Cao Jinse refrained from chugging it; instead, she leaned her elbow on the counter, gaze wandering, mind adrift—who could guess her thoughts.

Roughly five or six minutes afterward.

A figure emerged next to her.

The seat Boss Jiang had vacated was taken.

Nightclubs function that way.

Departures happen, newcomers fill in.

Cao Jinse kept her eyes forward, uninterested in looking.

The new arrival skipped chit-chat and, crucially, skipped ordering, merely sitting in stillness.
