Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Transaction

Since it is a "transaction", both parties are willing to do so and there is no forced buying or selling.

Jingcheng didn't force her.

He did not force Jiang Xi to reply to him immediately.

He could give her time to think it over, but he gave the necessary friendly reminder that the deal had a time limit.

You know, Lu Suye will be back the day after tomorrow, and she only has one day.

That night, Jiang Xi returned to her home where she was alone and thought quietly for a long time.

She was stuck in a tangle of confusion, unable to extricate herself, as always.

Because, she knew very little about the person who could help her at the moment.

She hadn't had much contact with him, and didn't know what his personality was like. The only time she had ever met him was when Lu Suye introduced Jingcheng's abilities to her on their first meeting...

She blurted out, if he used his special ability to move house, wouldn't he become rich?

At that time, Jingcheng was kind enough to give her face and said that if she wanted to move in the future, he would be able to help her at any time.

Of course, now it seems that this ability is also quite suitable for escape.

If Si Mu wants to take her out, he has to disguise her as a guild member to avoid the eyes of the sentries at the gate of the base. At worst, he may have to use his supernatural powers to invade their minds and affect the memories of these sentries.

But Jingcheng was able to directly jump through space and take her away from the base quietly without being noticed by anyone.

But……

Jiang Xi felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe.

Should she trust him?

She fell asleep with anxiety and uneasiness. When she woke up the next day, Jiang Xi was in a very bad mental state. She had not slept well.

However, one thing remains unchanged from yesterday.

Want to run.

If she finally made up her mind, then today should be her last day living in this villa.

It would be a lie to say that I don’t have any regrets.

But the sadness and depression covering this layer of nostalgia completely enveloped her and prompted her determination to leave.

She has to go!

Because she couldn't guarantee that when she saw Lu Suye again, she would not become cowardly and waver, paralyze herself again, and be captured by him.

She didn't want to end up as a cold-blooded hedonist who ignored the suffering of her kitten.

"How have you been lately?"

-Elite Cafe in Anle District-

This is considered to be the best-built area in Anle District. Unlike ordinary survivor areas, the people living here are all professional and technical personnel who have contributed to Paradise Valley. The facilities here are also the most complete in the entire Anle District, and there is even green space.

Not far from the cafe is a newly transplanted sycamore tree, with golden leaves all over the tree, which looks as beautiful as gold under the sunlight.

Chen Shanshan and her daughter moved here a long time ago. Now they no longer have to squeeze into a small pigeon-cage-like apartment with so many people and share a kitchen and bathroom. They have their own house and live a rich life.

Through working for the president's wife these days, Chen Shanshan has earned a lot of points. In addition to being used for daily shopping within the Anle District, these points can also be exchanged for general equivalents that can be used outside at a special currency exchange exchange, which is enough for them to live for more than ten years.

There were not many people in the coffee shop in the morning, and there were only Jiang Qian and Chen Shanshan.

"I'm making a down jacket for you these days!"

When she saw Jiang Xi, Chen Shanshan's eyes were filled with excitement. She didn't expect that the president's wife would come to Anle District to find her in person. She felt flattered.

She also took this opportunity to report to her about her current work.

Although it is just the beginning of autumn, things like clothing generally need to be prepared in advance. It will be too late to start shopping when it is windy and snowy.

I had originally planned to send it to her for review in a few days, along with several complete sets of winter clothes from head to toe.

Taking the sample picture handed to her by Chen Shanshan, she saw the long down jacket that reached to the calf. The lower part looked a bit like a puffy skirt, and the upper part was decorated with complicated lace, which looked very heavy.

The most attractive thing is the circle of super thick white fur at the collar of the down jacket hood. Jiang Ying can imagine how much she would look like a little lion covered in snow when she wears this down jacket and hood and puts her hands in the snow.

"It's really beautiful." Jiang Xi praised sincerely.

It's a pity that she probably won't have the chance to wear it.

After ending the conversation as quickly as possible, Jiang Qian said goodbye to Chen Shanshan. Later, she went to the bakery to meet Tian Tiantian, the teacher who taught her how to make cookies.

After confirming that everyone was doing well, she no longer had any worries.

Through their own efforts, they have accumulated a certain amount of wealth and have the ability to live a good life elsewhere even if they leave the Paradise Guild.

Jiang Qian didn't know whether her departure would cause Lu Suye to vent his anger on those who were related to her, but at least one thing reassured her, that Paradise Valley was not a place where people were unreasonable and disregarded human lives.

"I came to look for you before, and they said you were out."

Then, she went to see Wang Mingming again. He was her first friend since she came to Paradise Valley, regardless of whether he thought so or not.

"Oh, yes, it is."

Compared with Jiang Xi's frankness, Wang Mingming felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Why did the lady suddenly come to see me? Is she trying to find out some news?

But the boss specifically warned her not to tell her anything about the guild!

Wang Mingming rolled his eyes several times.

"I was just bored and wanted to go out for a walk! Hehe." He smiled a little embarrassedly.

Going out for a walk?

Strolling?

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, "Are you guys free lately?"

"Yeah! Isn't that right?"

Wang Mingming put his hand to his mouth and made a shushing gesture, careful not to tell anyone.

"The boss is not here, so we have nothing to do. We are all on vacation!"

Everyone is on holiday and has nothing to do.

Jiang Xi's throat was choked.

Si Mu, who she could always get an appointment with, Jing Cheng, who followed her around like he was spying on her, and Fang Fang, who she had met before.

Everyone in the Bliss Guild was so free, so free that they volunteered to help her deliver and pick up the appraisal report...

And what Lu Suye had promised her before—

The first time she sincerely asked him to do so in the heavy rain, it seemed that it was washed down the drain along with the rain that night.

But it didn't matter, she didn't care anymore.

Walking out of the lobby of the Paradise Guild, the two of them came towards each other.

Enemies often meet on a narrow road.

These are the two people Jiang Qian least wants to meet here.

Lu Suxing smiled: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Standing behind him, the fake Lan Zhi, wearing the blue and white uniform of Kule Hospital, was calm and composed: "Hello, Madam."

He didn't even pretend, he just showed up openly and walked in the sunshine.

Yes, even so, what can she do to them?

Jiang Xi simply ignored the two of them.

"Goodbye, sister-in-law!" Lu Suxing shouted loudly from behind.

Now that she thinks about it, she has actually seen that fake Lan Zhi before.

Perhaps, she had already seen him when Lu Suxing first came to the brother's family dinner.

However, she didn't remember his face as she was mixed in with a group of dean's nurses.

Jiang Xi was packing her luggage. The suitcase was not big, just the right size to carry in her hands.

After putting some of my personal belongings in it, the box was almost full.

What she could take away was very limited.

Opening the wardrobe, from top to bottom, it is filled with beautiful clothes, shoes and bags.

But in the end, she only took away some clothes with Jiang Yongzhuang's kitten pattern printed on them as a consolation.

-Last day-

Lu Su came back at night, so they had to leave in the afternoon.

When Jiang Qian arrived at the place where she had agreed to meet Jing Cheng, he was already waiting there.

The moment he saw Jiang Qian, Jing Cheng knew that

The transaction between them takes effect.

There was also a car parked next to Jingcheng. Jiang Xi got out of her car carrying a box and changed cars.

Then the vehicle started slowly.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Qian glanced out the window. The afternoon sun was shining, and the river surface was sparkling, running through the entire Paradise Valley like a blue jade belt.

The river must be beautiful at night.

She thought silently.

-

The driver drove along the mountain road and saw the Paradise Valley in front.

A man was sitting in the back seat, his formal tie had been torn off and thrown somewhere.

Even in important diplomatic occasions, the guild still needs to maintain its reputation, but when he returns to his own territory, he doesn't care about these red tape.

A few hours earlier than planned, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Against the backdrop of the vehicle's black interior, a ball of white fur stood out even more vividly, and its little paws fluttered as it tried to put the tie into its mouth.

So it's here.

Kittens are like this, they are curious about everything they see and want to bite it to see if they can eat it.

Just as he was trying hard to bite it, it flew into the air.

The man held it on his lap and stroked it gently.

The kitten closed its eyes comfortably when being stroked, looking very cute.

Cats are cute.

Love the house and love the dog.

He could already imagine how wide the cat's eyes would be when the cat's new owner saw it.

This is why he was so desperate. When he saw the cat in the hands of a delegation from another base at the Funeral Alliance, he did not hesitate to use money and other irresistible attractive conditions to overwhelm the other party.

"This is a common breed of cat, can you see it clearly?!"

Although, after the end of the world, cats almost became extinct. The darlings of the prosperous era lost their necessary competitiveness here, died in the turmoil and the lack of people to breed them carefully, and cats became extremely rare animals.

However, even if you are a cat lover, you still cannot understand why someone would spend such a huge price just to get a cat?

"Yeah." Lu Suye relied on his willpower to avoid laughing so undignifiedly in front of the members of the foreign grandfather's association, thus losing face for Ji Le.

"Is it a female cat?" Its face was so sweet and well-behaved. He turned it over to confirm its gender.

He actually prefers a female cat because he would be a little jealous if it was a male cat.

"Male ones!!" The other party looked alert, tightly grasping the heavy cloth bag he had just received, and emphasized, "Only male ones!"

Moreover, once the goods are sold, they are not refundable or exchangeable!

Forget it, it’s public.

The cat fell asleep on the man's legs under the massage of his rough fingers.

It's so small, it must have been born only a few months ago.

The pure white fur was dyed into a gentle orange by the gorgeous sunset outside the car window.

-

"Are we out?"

Jiang Qian took a deep breath, and the smell of fresh air rushed into her lungs.

She suddenly felt like crying.

There was a car parked nearby with its door wide open.

The driver was sitting on a stone platform by the roadside.

This place looks like a forest national park.

In a transaction, one party has completed the task, but the other party's "reward" has not yet been paid.

"Jiang Xi."

Jingcheng called out her name.

Jiang Qian turned around and looked at the man who was staring at her.

She realized...

It's time to "pay".

-

Under the dim light, the woman asked tremblingly,

"What's the price?"

The price she has to pay for this?

The man's eyes were calm and his tone was indifferent.

"A kiss."

He wanted a kiss from her.

Just a kiss.

-

The afterglow of the setting sun was shining, and Jingcheng sat on the stone platform with his legs apart.

He tapped his cheek with his finger.

Jiang Xi walked towards him.

She stood and he sat.

He only reached her chest, and if she wanted to kiss his face, she would need to lean down.

Jingcheng tilted his face and circled the spot where she needed to be kissed.

People should keep their word, Jiang Xi came forward.

However, the moment her lips were about to touch his cheek, he suddenly turned his face away.

So, the cheek that was not kissed became a lip.

Their lips pressed together.

Jiang Xi's eyes were slightly surprised, and she subconsciously stood up.

However, the pressure from her back made her fall directly into the arms of the man in front of her.

In a panic, she put her hands on his shoulders and bent one leg on the stone platform to maintain her center of gravity.

The touching of lips is just the beginning; the kissing process is lingering and touching.

The entanglement of lips and tongues, and the exchange of saliva, make the heart beat faster and the body warmer.

Jiang Qian pushed Jingcheng's shoulders with her hands, but her meager strength was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

She had long discovered that this man was very strong.

He held her tightly and let her kiss him...

Keep kissing him.

Whenever she felt she was short of oxygen, unable to breathe, and gasping for breath, he would slightly open the gap between his lips and hers, allowing her to breathe in a little bit of oxygen that she needed to survive.

But after that, there is a round of double greed and demands.

The intermittent kissing method not only increased the electric touch of the body when the lips touched hers,

And the time of just one kiss was extended infinitely——

“Hmm…Hmm…”

She can't stand it anymore!

Her eyelashes were wet with tears, which flowed down her slightly opened eyes and ran across her cheeks like two dry season streams, tasting salty.

Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

Why do you want to kiss like this?

The crying and moaning gradually became louder, and the resistance became stronger.

Not everyone has such a strong lung capacity. She was about to faint from his kiss!

Finally, Jingcheng left her swollen lips, allowing her to breathe deeply.

If he hadn't still held her waist, she would have collapsed to the ground.

Because of his kiss.

"I would die for you."

Looking into the eyes of the woman in his arms, Jingcheng muttered to himself.

Jiang Xi looked back at him while panting.

She heard clearly what Jingcheng suddenly said, but she couldn't understand the meaning.

But this ambiguous sentence was not the most puzzling thing for her at the moment.

She lowered her eyes, and there were crystal drops of water on her eyelashes.

The setting sun cast a rosy hue on her profile.

He looked up at Jingcheng again, but his eyes were filled with confusion and worry.

She frowned and asked cautiously,

"We used to..."

She was a little unsure.

"Did you kiss?"
