I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2298 - 1459: Subduing Sharpness, Untangling Discord, Harmonizing Brilliance, Blending with Dust

The majestic walls resembling dragons soar from the mountaintops, slicing across expansive ridges and forming a grand curve amid swirling clouds and fog. Every gray stone bears cracks etched by time, holding echoes of battles and flames. Steep cliffs are breached by the steel-hued fortifications. As gusts rush over the ramparts, they unleash a mournful cry, like the lingering roars of ancient sentinels, reverberating through mighty Yan Mountain with the resonant toll of ancient bells...

This monumental structure, forged from the skeleton of mountains, employs the ink of countless ages to etch an unyielding spine across Huaxia's landscape.

Standing atop the Great Wall always stirs an unstoppable surge within me, a primal echo ingrained in my very bloodline.

Naturally, this isn't Jiang Chen's initial visit to this timeless marvel of architecture. He had come before, during talks to build the Great Wall, together with the founding crew of Great Wall Group, and naturally, the Young Prince tagging along for the thrill.

Recalling those days, the title 'Great Wall' sprang from Princess Cao's brilliant idea, swiftly endorsed by all.

Today, the Great Wall endures, thronged with visitors as always. Yet times have shifted; from that original founding group on tour, only he and Lan Peizhi persist.

No.

A third figure lingers too... the 'sister'.

Fine.

Strictly speaking, I'm the true 'third wheel' here. Lan Peizhi is touring the Great Wall with a companion today, and I'm the tagalong. Still, the sister didn't mind my joining, as they say mixed company eases both work and play.

To befriend Lan Peizhi, this sister can't be commonplace. She scaled the Great Wall in women's slippers, clad in a sky-blue dress radiating fresh elegance, topped with a wide hat and cascading locks, perfectly capturing the grace of a... alluring lady.

At their meeting, the sister greeted Jiang Chen with surprising friendliness. Fair and lovely was expected, but her name stood out too.

Shan Yi Yi, echoing the versatile Shi Qianxi.

During the handshake, Jiang Chen felt her lightly graze his palm.

Far from naive now, Jiang Chen grasped the intent of such a bold beauty. Against this 'flirtation,' his ironclad discipline rivaled veteran cadres, staying stoic with no 'retort,' merely holding politely!

That is, until.

Lan Peizhi chimed in from nearby with more details.

Women like the formidable Lan Peizhi are rarities; most tread standard paths.

What defines a standard path?

Marrying at the right moment, bearing kids when due.

In that clasp, Jiang Chen spotted a modest but sparkling diamond on her ring finger, signaling commitment, yet Lan Peizhi's words hit like thunder.

Her spouse bore stars on his uniform.

A position surpassing even Wang Heting's mighty sibling.

Though merely one gold star, it marked a genuine General!

Learning her status, Jiang Chen swiftly pulled back, brushing off her 'petulant' stare.

'Let’s rest a while; tired.'

Predictably, Sister Shan, appearing delicately spoiled, whined after a brief trek, slumping against the stone.

Ever considerate, Jiang Chen handed her a tissue.

Truthfully, her type usually travels with bodyguards, but Lan Peizhi's company made them unnecessary.

'Thanks~'

Her thanks came soft, eyes lingering on Jiang Chen's features as she dabbed her perspiration.

'Pei Zhi, you’re in top shape. Keep climbing. Jiang Chen and I will pause here, then join you soon.'

Jiang Chen accepted the address without fuss, as she was older, and it rang affectionately.

Without question.

This woman surely backs Lan Peizhi in her standoff with Princess Cao.

Irrelevant details, though.

Send Lan Peizhi on alone?

Who's the real intruder?

'You stay and rest, I’ll advance with him,' Lan Peizhi stated firmly.

'How could that be?'

Better fitted for strolls in manicured gardens than Great Wall hikes, Shan Yi Yi protested at once, 'So crowded here—what if something happens to me?'

Hmm.

A shrewd concern indeed.

With such a captivating beauty, vigilance is essential.

'How about—'

Her gaze flicked back to Jiang Chen, smile dripping honey, 'Jiang Chen, give me a piggyback?'

'...'

'...'

Even without knowing her background, Mr. Jiang's strong sense of honor meant he'd never exploit anyone!

"I might not be able to carry you," he refused politely, refined and gentle like flawless jade.

Shan Yi Yi shot him a teasing glance, "How can you not? I’m only 100 pounds. Jiang Chen, are you still too young to not be energetic?"

Married women truly differ from unmarried ones by a vast chasm.

Jiang Chen stayed quiet.

Lan Peizhi chimed in: "Should I call for a bearer to carry you?"

These kinds of services are hugely popular these days; just pay the fee, and conquering mountains becomes a walk in the park.

"Never mind, that’s such a waste of money."

The instant bearers were mentioned, Shan Yi Yi waved her hands in quick refusal, pinching pennies like always, but ready to use Mr. Jiang as her complimentary pack animal?

Are little brothers destined for teasing and torment?

Jiang Chen refused to lag behind by himself or abandon her alone, leaving the trio no choice but to stop together for a shared rest.
