Jiang Chen buys Li Shuru a bottle of perfume from K.E, unaware that she has started wearing the same brand recently due to a gift from her neighbor, Pei Yunxi. Li Shuru jokes about Jiang Chen's possessive reaction to the idea of another man gifting her perfume, eventually revealing Pei Yunxi as the sender. Jiang Chen realizes he and Li Shuru are indeed neighbors and Pei Yunxi is K.E's brand ambassador.

"When did this kid become so filial?"

On the way returning to Spring and Autumn Plaza, Jiang Chen learned that Martial Saint was taking a break and heading back to Sichuan and Shu.

Tanki Liuli was accompanying him.

It wasn’t just Martial Saint who had family; Daoist Sister also had a master.

There was no doubt this younger sister was more dutiful to her elders than her elder sister.

The old man, who in the past loved drinking and resided on a mountain, was her primary concern.

It was completely justifiable for Daoist Sister to visit her master, given her pure heart. But Martial Saint...

He was a rebellious son, calling his father by name and shouting!

"Martial Saint may seem rebellious outwardly, but in truth, he possesses a pure heart. He's certainly kinder than many young people today."

That kid?

Pure-hearted?

However, the latter part of that statement was undeniably correct.

Children nowadays were incredibly callous and wicked, even resorting to murder.

Would Martial Saint dare to kill?

At most, he just enjoyed boasting.

"Let’s just eat out somewhere so we don’t have to cook when we get back."

Jiang Chen suggested, since Tanki Liuli and Martial Saint had already returned to Sichuan and Shu.

"Si Yi is here."

While driving, Li Shuru explained. She was operating the Morning Light No. 1 that Jiang Chen had purchased.

Hiring younger individuals as secretaries, utilizing Jinhai’s new energy production, and employing K.E.’s developed perfume…

The formerly reclusive art college beauty was becoming more integrated into society.

"Xu Siyi?"

Jiang Chen inquired with surprise, "Didn’t she just buy a house?"

It wasn’t merely a house; it was a lavish apartment valued at tens of millions.

Earlier, Li Shuru had taken him there under the guise of a "tour."

Indeed.

Even though Xu Siyi hadn't acquired the property solely through her own efforts, in these times, enduring hardship was no longer something to be lauded.

Being able to take shortcuts demonstrated a certain skill.

Jiang Chen never passed judgment on others' personal matters.

"She broke up with that man. I'm a little concerned about her emotional state, and since Duanmu and the others have returned home, I've asked Si Yi to stay with me for a few days."

"They really broke up?"

"Yes. She was just going through a phase. Having a family and a career, being so stubborn, she was essentially wasting her youth."

Jiang Chen let out a soft sigh.

Xu Siyi’s situation wasn’t exactly unique in this society; that man was indeed deceitful and sly, pretending to be single while already married. But didn’t Xu Siyi also bear some responsibility?

Seeking shortcuts always carried inherent risks; some individuals were fortunate enough to achieve great success, while others simply lacked that luck.

"Let's not discuss this further."

Li Shuru cautioned.

"Don't worry."

Boss Jiang was certainly a paragon of high emotional intelligence; however, discussing private matters now was acceptable. He then asked with curiosity, "What about the property? How was it divided?"

"The house belongs to Si Yi."

Jiang Chen responded with a thoughtful "Hmm," nodding, and added, "Not bad. A property worth eight figures; most people work their entire lives and can't accumulate such wealth."

If she were a celestial being, she would undoubtedly protest.

Why measure value with something as superficial as money?

What about the emotional pain?

What about feelings sacrificed?

What about the loss of faith in men?

Who would compensate for these losses?

Could a mere multi-million dollar apartment truly make amends for such things?!

But Li Shuru was no celestial being; she, much like Jiang Chen, had been a pragmatist since her university days.

In this regard.

She differed from Ai Qian, the Ai Qian of the past.

Otherwise, if she had desired both, Jiang Chen and she might not still be sharing the same vehicle.

"Jin Jin says the same thing."

Li Shuru replied, causing Jiang Chen to chuckle inwardly. Zheng Jingjing was a genuine gem, an open book incapable of keeping secrets. Li Shuru’s dormitory, with its four distinct personalities, was a testament to this.

"You should advise Zheng Jingjing against seeking someone excessively wealthy; a simple, happy life isn't necessarily a lesser one."

"Should I call Jin Jin over?"

Jiang Chen immediately shook his head, "No, let's not."

Li Shuru smiled, observing, "She wouldn't dare argue with you now."

Jiang Chen sighed, gazing at the traffic ahead, completing his girlfriend’s thought, "Only not with words."

Upon returning home.

Jiang Chen noticed someone busy in the kitchen and instinctively asked, "Did you hire a housekeeper?"

"Yes. What do you think?"

Jiang Chen observed, discerning from the active silhouette that the figure was quite attractive, possessed fair skin, and was certainly not elderly.

"Who dresses like this for housework?"

Jiang Chen then questioned.

The culinary assistant was dressed exceedingly casually, showcasing her shapely legs. She appeared to be wearing athletic shorts, which might have been acceptable, but the critical detail was her attire's upper half: a backless garment paired with an apron, leaving a considerable portion of her smooth back exposed.

Her skin was truly flawless.

No, that wasn't quite right.

It should be stated that Jiang Chen's eyesight was exceptionally keen.

Shouldn't nannies adhere to the rules set by the matriarch; dressed like this, is she a model for a culinary magazine?

"Oh, President Jiang has returned."

As the 'nanny' brought the dish into the dining area, revealing her countenance, Jiang Chen let out a silent chuckle.

Not a culinary model.

It was unmistakably his gifted junior.

"Isn't your attire a bit too revealing?"

Jiang Chen remarked, also feeling a need for a reminder.

"I frequently wore only my undergarments in the dorm previously."

Xu Siyi stated with a nonchalant air, showing no hint of having faced significant adversity.

Indeed.

How could she be faulted?

It would be acceptable if both she and Li Shuru were unclothed.

The fault lies solely with someone's unexpected reappearance.

Jiang Chen cleared his throat subtly, remaining silent.

Whether she habitually wore only her undergarments in the dormitory during university was unknown to him, but he had caught glimpses of her undergarments before.

"I shall go change."

Despite her words, Xu Siyi still possessed an awareness of propriety and removed the apron.

Once she had ascended the stairs, Jiang Chen turned and inquired, "Did she genuinely have a habit of wearing only her undergarments in the dormitory?"

"From time to time."
