Campus Ace Girl

Chapter 901 - 900: Ecstatic—King Jingyao Intends to Get Engaged

Jiang Chaoge was filled with hatred but felt helpless.At this moment, Bo Xichen and Lu Heng walked over together; both of them were equally attractive, making a striking pair.

Bo Xichen’s conversation was impeccable as always; he greeted the elder women with a slight smile before focusing on his young wife: "Have you been bothering the elders?"

"No, not at all." Gu Anxi raised her hand, smiling as she showed him her new treasure: "From Lin Mama."

Bo Xichen gently patted her little head, "Naughty."

He politely said, "I’ll take her to your house to return the favor another day."

Lin’s mother said lovingly, "Don’t blame her. I feel a connection with her, and it brings me genuine joy. Lin Hua is ten years older than her; from now on, she’ll be like her sister, and I’ll cherish her too."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin." Bo Xichen thanked her and patted the little one again: "Mr. Wang seems to be coming over. Do you want to meet him?"

Gu Anxi’s face immediately looked like she was constipated; she touched her nose, "Well, I’m not the host today. So it’s okay to not meet him, right?"

Bo Xichen smiled and didn’t press her.

He had just greeted King Jingyao, and it seemed that Old Wang was in a good mood, probably wouldn’t be mad at her.

On the other side, upon hearing that King Jingyao had arrived, Jiang Chaoge couldn’t be bothered with Gu Anxi and Lin Hua, immediately signaling Lu Heng to lead the introduction. As Lu Heng left, he glanced at Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi made a silly face at him.

Daydreaming.

Lu Heng’s gaze turned cold and followed Jiang Chaoge out.

After they left, all eyes turned to Lin Hua, with a hint of sympathy or a spectator’s curiosity. Everyone knew that the Jiang family had come fully prepared tonight, adding both projects and talent, making Jiang Chaoge irreplaceable in King Jingyao’s perspective. She was destined to become King Jingyao’s most capable assistant.

Lin Hua showed little emotion, quietly sitting beside her mother, who patted her with a calm smile, very composed.

Gu Anxi admired her. She had certainty because she had knowledge of things, but Lin Mama only knew Lin Hua spent a night with Old Wang, yet remained so calm under such circumstances—it was truly impressive...

On the other side of the grand hall, Jiang Chaoge in a fiery red dress leaned beside King Jingyao, smiling while introducing, "Jingyao, this is Lu Heng, whom I often mentioned to you. He is highly talented... a string of titles and awards passed over..."

King Jingyao looked quite interested, "Dr. Lu is indeed a young and talented person, it’s nice to finally meet you."

He smiled warmly and then, as if reproachful, said to Jiang Chaoge, "Chaoge, this is your fault; you should have introduced such a talented person to me earlier, it’s your oversight."

Jiang Chaoge explained with a smile, "In the past, wasn’t Brother Bo assisting you?"

"Xichen is very competent, but having one more talent won’t bother me." Old Wang gently patted her hand, showing he valued her very much.

Jiang Chaoge smiled somewhat reservedly, "That indeed is my fault, I’ll punish myself with a drink."

Possibly to display her feminine charm, she held up the tall glass elegantly, her drinking manner was indeed quite attractive. Old Wang seemed a bit captivated.

Jiang Bin laughed heartily, "Jingyao, why did you come alone? Where’s Jingchuan?"

King Jingyao glanced at him.

People around held their breath for Jiang Bin; was this too bold, calling him Jingyao?

Fortunately, King Jingyao didn’t seem angry, smiling lightly, "Jingchuan is no longer with me, you didn’t know? I thought Chaoge would have told you."

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Chaoge, seemingly sweetly.

Jiang Chaoge smiled, arm in his, showing a demeanor of a hostess.

King Jingyao didn’t shake her off, showing a very generous attitude, and thus began chatting with Lu Heng.

Lu Heng was indeed talented; after a few words, Old Wang kept praising, "Dr. Lu should have returned to China earlier."

Lu Heng smiled faintly.

Though he was smiling, there was always a sense of arrogance.

King Jingyao seemed unbothered by it.

After a while, he checked his watch and said, "In a bit, the old master and lady will also come."

Jiang Chaoge was surprised, "The old master and lady are coming too?"

She covered her face, "I didn’t prepare anything."

Old Wang smiled, "They’re coming over for some business."

He then looked at Jiang Bin, "You don’t mind the place being used for something special tonight, do you?"

Jiang Bin was smart; he thought for a while and understood—

The old master and lady were coming especially, and they had something special to say, that meant...

He was quite excited inside and looked at Jiang Chaoge, hinting for her to be a bit reserved tonight. She must be reserved; she’d be Madam Wang, after all, a significant change from her previous status.

Jiang Chaoge was incredibly excited; she never thought happiness would come so quickly, touching her chest and stammering, "Jingyao, you didn’t tell me... Why didn’t you say earlier? I didn’t prepare at all."

Old Wang laughed heartily, "Knowing now is still timely."

He patted her hand with a warm demeanor; in this situation, not only the Jiang family but everyone present would think Jiang Chaoge was settled, making expressions subtly nuanced.

Men envied Old Wang for marrying a young wife in his forties, while women envied Jiang Chaoge for suddenly becoming a phoenix on a high branch. With emotions set aside, everyone surrounded Jiang Chaoge, not speaking explicitly but their words were rife with compliments.

Jiang Chaoge found it very pleasing.

King Jingyao conversed with the men while Jiang Chaoge lightly said, "By the way, Lin Hua is also here. Jingyao, I’ll go accompany her, recently Lawyer Feng met some trouble; she’s upset."

People on site had to point up a finger, see, this is grace, this is presence, the dignity of the first wife.

Everyone in Beicheng knew what happened last night, but Jiang Chaoge pretended not to know.

This magnanimity is not common.

King Jingyao’s gaze held appreciation, "Chaoge, you are indeed considerate."
