Chapter 22

Yang Chen entered Jingjing's classroom and saw her doing some grading on her desk.

Jingjing seeing Yang Chen come inside the classroom, became really happy before she rushed to him.

"Big brother Yang." JingJing was about to hug him before she stopped herself and blushed in embarrassment.

Yang Chen chuckled a bit before he gently patted Jingjing on the head.

"Are u finished with work?" Asked Yang Chen.

"I just finished before you got here and I was about to pack up." Jingjing smiled happily as Yang Chen patted her head.

"Alright, let's go get something to eat after you're done then." Yang Chen said while smiling.

"Mn." Jingjing nodded happily.

Once Jingjing finished with her things, they both left the school and headed to his car.

Again Yang Chen was the center of attention but when people saw Jingjing right beside them, they figured out why he would be at this school. Which was to pick up his lover.

Jingjing was embarrassed and happy at the same time since people thought, she was Yang Chen's lover.

"So, where do you want to go eat?" Yang Chen asked Jingjing

"Well...how about I cook for you?" Jingjing asked nervously while blushing.

"Sure, are we going to your home then?"

Jingjing was really happy since Yang Chen didn't reject her before she nodded and they both headed to her home.

When they arrived at Jingjing's home which was a luxurious condo, they were approached by Aunt Li.

"Yang Chen, it's been so long, come in and take a seat." Aunt Li said with a smile.

Yang Chen nodded and they all went to the living room.

When they made it to the living room, they saw Old Li on the couch while reading a newspaper.

Old Li noticing Yang Chen come in the living room smiled and asked, "Little Yang, how have you been?"

"Good, how about your injury, is it healed?" Yang Chen replied while smiling at his old friend.

"Yup, after using your healing device, these old bones are as good as new." Old Li said while hitting his knee with his knuckles.

Yang Chen chuckled before him and Old Li started chatting some more.

(With Jingjing and Aunt Li)

Jingjing was in the kitchen preparing lunch, while Aunt Li was helping.

"Jingjing look at you, already making your move." Aunt Li said while smirking as she saw Jingjing working diligently for this lunch.

"Well I am trying to win his heart, you know," Jingjing said bashfully while chopping vegetables on the cutting board.

Aunt Li then looked at Jingjing, well mainly looked at what she was wearing.

Jingjing's outfit consisted of a white blouse and jean shorts while she had her hair tied up into a long ponytail.

"You should also dress up more for Yang Chen." Aunt Li said as she looked at Jingjing.

"Is it embarrassing that I dress up like this?" Jingjing asked a little sad since her mother was right and she didn't put enough effort to dress up.

"No, it's not but are you always going to dress so casually around Yang Chen? What if he brings you into an expensive restaurant for a date and you dress up like this." Aunt Li said as she was reprimanding Jingjing.

Jingjing despaired at the thought of this happening before she looked at her mother and asked while panicking.

"Mom what should I do?! I don't have any better clothes than this and my salary doesn't come until next month!"

"Calm down since I already solved the problem" Aunt Li said while trying to calm her daughter.

Aunt Li then got multiple bags with clothes in them from the cabinet and gave them to Jingjing.

When Jingjing checked inside the bags, she was shocked since all these clothes were from expensive brands.

"Mom, how could you afford this?" Asked Jingjing shocked.

"Well...Yang Chen gave me the money." Aunt Li said while looking anywhere other than her daughter's eyes.

"What...when?" Jingjing asked her mother.

"A few days ago, when he bought us this house, he offered to pay us 1 million yuan every month for the rest of our lives." Replied Aunt Li as she was looking down.

"And you accept?!" Jingjing shouted at her mother angrily.

"Of course I accepted! We could finally live the lives we want and you want me to reject that! We deserve to be happy as well!" Aunt Li shouted back.

Suddenly Jingjing started crying and said while choking on sobs.

"Why mom...*sniff* he's probably going to think our family only wants his money. *sniff*"

"Sigh...no he won't...he'll only think that I'm the only one since I haven't told your father yet." Aunt Li sighed.

"Wait, dad doesn't know?"

"No if I did, he'll probably go so far just to return every penny I have spent." Aunt Li replied.

The atmosphere turned a bit heavy before Aunt Li said.

"All you have to know is that Yang Chen doesn't think that way about you so just pick one of these clothes and wear them."

Jingjing hesitated for a while before she just decided to just accept since the damage was already done.

Aunt Li smiled before they both went back to making lunch.

When they were done, Jingjing quickly went to go get changed before she came back and served the food to Yang Chen.

When Yang Chen saw Jingjing he was in a daze for a bit as she was wearing a white strapless long dress that hugged her body in all the right areas while having her hair untied flowing threw her back. She even applied some light make up to add to her beauty.

"You look very beautiful." Yang Chen said smiling to Jingjing.

Jingjing's heart started racing, hearing Yang Chen's compliment before giving a happy smile.

"Thank you."

The Old couple watched their interaction with a smile since their daughter was happy now.

While they were eating, Jingjing was seating next to Yang Chen and would apply more food for him when he would run out since he can be a heavy eater sometimes.

When they all finished lunch, Aunt Li went to do the dishes while Jingjing stayed with Yang Chen and kept chatting.

When they were relaxing after their meal, Old Li came to Yang Chen and asked with a smile, "Little Yang, interested in some chess?"

"Sure." Replied Yang Chen.

They both went to the chess table and started their game. Even Jingjing was thereby Yang Chen's side acting like a cute little wife.

When they started their game of chess, Old Li took out a Sake bottle and poured a drink for himself before offering some to Yang Chen.

"Little Yang, care for some Sake?"

Yang Chen smiled bitterly and thought, 'Even if I wanted to get drunk, the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture would probably just get rid of the intoxication. Wait, now that I think about it, why don't I just make an alcoholic drink with Arc of Embodiment that can't be suppressed by the cultivation technique.'

Yang Chen then put his hand in his pocket and took out a glass test tube that had a clear liquid inside, that he had just created.

"I already have my drink here." Said Yang Chen as he showed his drink.

Old Li then lifted his cup and took a drink.

Yang Chen did the same and chugged his drink.

Yang Chen didn't feel anything right away so he just thought it didn't work and continued to play chess.

Halfway through the game, Old Li was already fast asleep.

Yang Chen, on the other hand, was having trouble even keeping his eyes open, and he felt dizzy all of a sudden.

Yes, Yang Chen was drunk at this moment.

Jingjing who was by his side all this time asked worriedly, "Big brother Yang, are you okay?"

Yang Chen then turned to look at Jingjing's beautiful face and stared at her before he cupped her cheeks and started breathing heavily.

Jingjing was surprised by Yang Chen's action but didn't do anything to stop it and kept staring lovingly at his eyes.

Yang Chen then started slowly inching his face closer to Jingjing while she closed her eyes.

At the last moment, Yang Chen suddenly widened his eyes as he just realized what he was doing and hurriedly let go.

(AN: Please don't hate me.😣)

He recovered a tiny bit of his rationality, in order to stop whatever was going to happen.

"I have to get home." Yang Chen said as he was getting up, albeit with a bit of difficulty.

Jingjing opened her eyes when she heard Yang Chen and said with a forced smile.

"Ok...make sure to call me, when you're not busy."

Yang Chen nodded before he left the Li home.

When Yang Chen was gone, Jingjing kept her forced smiled as she was looking at the direction Yang Chen left.

Suddenly a tear fell from her eyes and she said to herself.

"I think he hates me now."

(With Yang Chen)

Although Yang Chen was drunk he didn't drive recklessly when he was driving.

It was well past eight a clock since he spent the majority of the day at Jingjing's home. When Yang Chen made it back to the dragon villa he opened the door and tried to walk to his room but was having difficulty.

This proofs that the alcohol he drank was so strong that he couldn't even think straight at this moment.

Ruoxi who was in her office attire was watching a Korean drama, when she saw Yang Chen come inside the house.

She then noticed Yang Chen acting weird while walking and asked with a bit of worry.

"Yang Chen, are you alright?"

"Bright...yeah it's pretty bright in here." Yang Chen started speaking gibberish.

Wang Ma who came from the kitchen looked at the wobbly Yang Chen.

"Young Miss, what's wrong with Young Master." Wang Ma turned to Ruoxi.

"I don't know, Wang Ma, he just came in like this." Replied Ruoxi.

They both then got closer to Yang Chen and smelled a faint scent of alcohol and they figure out he was drunk.

They then both took him to his room and placed him in his bed.

"Young miss I'll be heading back downstairs but if you want, you can keep looking after him." Wang Ma said with a teasing voice and left before Ruoxi could say anything.

Ruoxi was about to say something but Wang Ma had already left so she gritted her teeth.

Ruoxi then sighed and stared at Yang Chen before making her way to him.

She then poked his cheek softly since she thought he wouldn't feel anything.

Ruoxi was terribly wrong as when she poked Yang Chen's cheek, he instinctively countered by grabbing her arm and pulling her onto his chest.

"Ah!" Ruoxi yelped in surprise.

Ruoxi started blushing while her heart started racing when she was on Yang Chen's chest.

After a little while, Ruoxi tried calling Yang Chen in a soft voice.

"Yang Chen."

Ruoxi realized that Yang Chen was still asleep smiled bitterly before she started hearing his heartbeat which started making her calm for some reason.

Ruoxi hearing Yang Chen's heartbeat rhythm made her eyelids heavy before she ultimately fell asleep in Yang Chen's embrace.
