I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2311 - 1468: Sometimes, Being a Beast Isn’t So Bad
Previously on I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping...
Apang Palace, not being a medical facility, lacked blood test equipment. Yet, after Jiang Chen and the other individual concluded their meal, a test report was promptly delivered.
The speed was astonishingly swift.
One could wait considerably longer for results even after a blood draw at a standard hospital.
Perhaps this is the true reward of striving for excellence.
Privileges aren't necessities to be chased; rather, they naturally manifest at a certain level, becoming as ubiquitous as the air we breathe, permeating every facet of existence.
"You can set your mind at ease now."
The test results, sent directly to his phone, indicated perfect health, even exceeding that of a typical person, as if the previous night's ordeal had been a restorative experience.
Jiang Chen harbored no surprise at this outcome.
He hadn't precisely fabricated his earlier statements, but rather, had selectively omitted certain truths.
His clandestine involvement with the future Japanese Princess was indeed real, yet the core of their arrangement was fundamentally rooted in mutual benefit.
Even marital bonds can fracture.
However, without his backing and the support of the Shen Zhou faction, Fujiwara Reiki, branded as a subordinate, would undoubtedly become a target for extremist elements, opposition groups within Japan, and indeed, the Western powers.
In such a scenario, her most favorable outcome would be a peaceful integration into the Imperial Family, serving as a figurehead devoid of worldly ambition.
Under these circumstances, Jiang Chen found it perplexing why she would entertain thoughts of harming him.
Of course.
He also couldn't comprehend the motive behind her actions of drugging him.
"So, what does she truly aim to achieve through this?"
Shi Qianxi, mirroring Jiang Chen's confusion, also pondered the same question.
"There's something not quite right with her."
Jiang Chen lounged casually on the sofa, gesturing towards his temple with a relaxed, legs-apart posture.
Sharing intimacy had indeed forged a unique connection.
It was a subtle, yet discernible, psychological shift.
"She seemed perfectly normal just last night."
Shi Qianxi dismissed his assessment as baseless and brought up the events of the previous night, reawakening her latent suspicions.
While the Princess's title offered substantial protection, if she were truly innocent, why had the phantom spirit displayed such intense jealousy, confronting her with biting sarcasm?
"She suffers from schizophrenia."
"Is it possible for someone with schizophrenia to attain the status of Princess?" Shi Qianxi retorted with a scoff.
"If you were acquainted with her, you wouldn't express such doubt."
"Then enlighten me," she pressed.
Jiang Chen shook his head, stating, "It's not entirely appropriate to discuss."
"What? Another state secret?"
"Ultimately, it pertains to her personal matters. Consider the immense challenges a woman faces in wielding influence within Japan's societal structure."
"What difficulties could there be? Isn't she the legitimate daughter of the Fujiwara Family?"
"Do you imagine her situation mirrors yours, being the sole cherished child? Japan operates as a patriarchal society, and she has an elder brother who precedes her."
Jiang Chen left it at that.
Although not a state secret, he was unwilling to exploit Fujiwara Reiki's personal vulnerabilities as a shield for his own benefit.
"What's the issue with having a brother? If I had one, I'd have him beat you to a pulp." Shi Qianxi declared sharply, though it was evident she grasped the underlying implication of Jiang Chen's words.
Indeed.
The Shi Family had no need for power struggles or the pursuit of wealth; from birth, she was destined to be Jinhai's sole heiress. However, this did not preclude her from witnessing the overt and covert conflicts that transpired among prominent and influential families.
What was portrayed on television was mere child's play compared to the reality.
"Beat me? We'll see who ends up on top." The individual in question muttered, prompting Shi Qianxi to question who had truly embarked on this perilous journey.
"Ha! You think highly of yourself. Don't boast about your mediocre abilities. Who was unceremoniously ejected?"
The conversation successfully shifted focus.
"Wasn't that because of you?"
"Ha ha!"
Shi Qianxi scoffed, ungratefully accepting his implied praise, "Then why was I the target?"
Jiang Chen maintained his composure, his gaze fixed on the wall display, "It's all in the past now."
Indeed.
It was a matter of the past.
Although this recent turmoil had created significant ripples, the repercussions thankfully were not dire. Each involved party even reaped unexpected benefits, albeit not the ones they initially sought.
Nevertheless, setting aside others, the outcome was undoubtedly satisfactory for Director Shi. The acquisition of land, the expansion of influence, and the display of his capabilities to the head of Jiuding—considering these developments, Director Shi couldn't help but smile, his dangling leg starting to sway rhythmically.
"Don't you feel any guilt?"
A certain voice interjected suddenly.
Shi Qianxi, whose mood had been pleasant, instinctively responded, "Guilt about what?"
"Regarding Shu Rui."
Shi Qianxi remained unperturbed. "Do you believe Shu Rui is unaware? Never underestimate a woman's intuition. Had it not been for my intervention, that individual from the Cao Family would likely be targeting her. If you were in my position, what choice would you make? I am aiding her."
Agreed.
This, too, was a valuable outcome of their visit to the capital.
Even moral shortcomings somehow found a reason for recompense.
"So, you all had this meticulously planned out."
Shi Qianxi tapped her foot, let out a laugh, and then abruptly turned her gaze to Jiang Chen, "Aren't you feeling quite satisfied right now?"
"Satisfied about what?"
Witnessing his pretense of innocence, Shi Qianxi felt a surge of irritation.
But what other choice did she have?
She had been completely ensnared by his allure, and once he had taken root in her heart, removal was impossible.
"Having one person in your embrace and another by your side, can you honestly not be pleased?"
At this accusation, Jiang Chen fell silent for a moment before retorting sharply.
"Can I?"
Shi Qianxi scoffed and suddenly surged to her feet, declaring, "In your dreams! I'm telling you, absolutely not! Don't even contemplate such a thing!"
Jiang Chen maintained his usual composure.
With women, one simply listened to their words.
Just last night, she had expressed 'eternal gratitude,' adamantly wishing to devote herself to him.
And now, she was beginning to raise her voice.
"And is your body capable of handling it?"
There it was.
She was even resorting to provocation.
It seemed she hadn't experienced enough.
Indeed.
Last night's events were merely a painless repayment.
Miss Fujiwara truly ought to share her experiences with her.
"Whether my body can handle it or not, don't you already know?"
Jiang Chen's reply was steady and measured.
Whatever thoughts were swirling in her mind, Shi Qianxi's ears abruptly flushed crimson.
She hadn't endured enough hardship.
But she had.
"Disgusting!"
Ha.
Women, oh, women.
Who exactly was reveling in the moment... truly savoring it?
Comrade Jiang Chen possessed poise, adherence to principles, and proper manners, yet this did not equate to an absence of temper.
Clearly, he was the one who had been coerced, and yet, he was now being 'insulted' in every conceivable way, forced to endure what was utterly unbearable.
"What do you intend to do?!"
Gazing at the man who had abruptly risen, Shi Qianxi instinctively took half a step back, an inexplicable urge causing her to lick her lips.
Then.
She was pushed down, compelled into a semi-crouch on the floor.
She struck his legs with all her might, but it was futile; the only response she received was a voice, cold and unwavering.
"Lick."
Shi Qianxi looked up, a glint of grievance in her eyes, mingled with other perplexing emotions.
Slowly, she lowered her head, her hands that had been striking his legs ceased their motion, instead gently parting the edges of the wide bathrobe. Her fair, oval face seemed to once again radiate the distinct allure from that night at the construction site.
Not long after.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes, exhaling softly.
Perhaps, becoming a beast on occasion wasn't so undesirable after all.
