All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

Although the two did not exchange words, they only communicated through their eyes.

Yet, as if they were telepathically connected, they could know each other's thoughts and innermost words.

Although not every single character is identical, the general meaning can still be grasped.

An Qianxi continued speaking.

"There's something I've been meaning to tell you, Jiang Tang."

"……What's up."

An Qianxi blushed, thinking to herself that Jiang Tang was really direct.

However, she had come to a realization: instead of being awkward, it was better to openly and frankly express her feelings for Jiang Tang.

"Actually, I didn't fall in love with you gradually through our interactions. I had a crush on you before my senior year of high school."

"..."

"At least pretend to be a little surprised! Although I deserve... too many people have a crush on you, and you've long since ignored them."

But surprisingly, after hearing An Qianxi's words at this moment...

Jiang Tang couldn't help but retort.

"No... I saw it."

An Qianxi blushed slightly upon hearing this.

If Jiang Tang had noticed his crush...

Doesn't that prove that Jiang Tang is actually paying attention to him?

The two instinctively locked eyes, immediately triggering coughs from those around them.

The girls all felt like they were there to be third wheels!

Even Jiang Peining narrowed her eyes subtly and gave An Qianxi a deep look.

Fortunately, Jiang Tang and An Qianxi did not continue to stare at each other in a particularly presumptuous manner.

An Qianxi continued speaking, filled with deep emotion.

"If it weren't for the misunderstanding at graduation, maybe we would have stayed that close forever."

She certainly had reason to feel emotional, because she had once been closest to Jiang Tang, as if she could reach him.

Moreover, if he could do it all over again, is it possible that because of this, Jiang Tang might not have met the many girls he met later, but instead embarked on a different future?

After all, no one can deny that.

An Qianxi's departure was indeed one of the catalysts that gradually transformed Jiang Tang into the harem king he is today.

Jiang Tang took a sip of his drink; his silence perhaps indicated that he agreed with An Qianxi's statement.

In addition, it is a beverage, not alcohol.

Clearly, Jiang Tang didn't want to face a group of drunk girls; that would be too terrifying.

Shi Xue seemed to have thought of this as well, so when she went shopping at the convenience store, she did not choose to buy any alcoholic beverages.

Besides, the two sisters, Mu Yuqing and Mu Yunyi, are still minors, so how could they drink alcohol?

At this moment, the two sisters sipped the juice in their glasses while continuing to "dive" and observe the situation in front of them.

An Qianxi took a deep breath and then exhaled.

Consider it a way to let go of those painful past experiences.

"Anyway, Jiang Tang, I'm back."

"Back to your side."

If it weren't for the dining table separating them, An Qianxi would have loved to give Jiang Tang a big hug.

Welcome back.

This was a heartfelt welcome from Jiang Tang, though it sounded somewhat bland.

But often, the most profound things are the most mundane.

This welcome back was something that An Qianxi had been waiting for a long time, and Jiang Tang himself had been looking forward to it for a very, very long time.

An Qianxi's explanation ended with this dialogue.

Lilith then couldn't contain herself and immediately jumped out.

"It's finally my turn."

The girl's cheeks were flushed red, as if she had been enduring it for a long time.

As for what they endured, it was probably a great deal.

It's like the feelings and affection for darlings, and the anticipation for this Mid-Autumn Festival.

Of course, there's also the matter of caring about Jiang Peining, the Eastern girl who suddenly appeared and acted like she wanted to become his darling's wife!

Jiang Peining naturally noticed Lilith's undisguised gaze, which carried a hint of hostility and dissatisfaction.

She simply looked up and calmly met his gaze.

Lilith is probably like a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Naturally, they had no idea how terrifying Jiang Peining was, a person even her parents treated with great care.

In fact, she is unaware that her family's businesses in the Eastern world have been severely impacted.

She is a truly innocent and naive girl who is tacitly protected by everyone.

Normally, this is certainly cute.

But in this situation, to be honest, Jiang Tang was a little worried that Lilith would anger Jiang Peining.

This could then lead to some uncontrollable negative consequences.

"Jiang Peining, I won't go into the story between me and Darling."

"In short, all you need to know is that whatever your past relationship with Darling may have been."

"No matter what you want to do, my feelings for Darling will never change."

"Just as Darling loves me deeply, I love Darling just as deeply!"

"We'll go to a faraway place to live in seclusion, get married, and have many, many children!"

Jiang Peining narrowed her eyes and, for the first time ever, responded to Lilith's words.

"That's a wonderful vision."

Jiang Tang couldn't help but cough, and Yuan Ziji looked at Lilith with great anxiety.

At the same time, he tugged at her sleeve, reminding her to stop making a fuss.

So far, only the naive Lilith has failed to notice anything.

It concerns the decline, or even the complete annihilation, of his family's influence in the Eastern world.

Jiang Peining's sanctions destroyed the Lilith family's decades of hard-earned wealth accumulated in various Eastern countries.

This is undoubtedly a very painful thing.

Although it cannot shake the Lilith family's foundation in the Western world, it is enough as a lesson.

Unfortunately, Jiang Peining thought that doing this would make Lilith a little smarter.

But as it turns out, Lilith is not smart at all.

Her family was also very rigid and made no effort to educate their daughters about whose territory they were currently on.

Even the Raptors fear the local bullies, let alone Jiang Peining, who is the local dragon.

Unfortunately, Lilith got tipsy even though she hadn't been drinking.

She watched as the atmosphere between her and Jiang Peining began to spiral out of control.

In order to avoid causing some worse consequences.

Whether it's Jiang Peining's anger or Lilith being hurt, it's something Jiang Tang cannot accept.

Therefore, he had to try to solve all of this in his own way.

Jiang Tang did not have enough time to think things through.

He then subtly touched Jiang Peining's hand that was under the table.

The first impression was one of delicacy, followed by a slight tightening of the back of her hand.

Jiang Peining then shifted all her attention from Lilith to Jiang Tang.

However, Jiang Tang would never know that what Jiang Peining truly cared about was...

This was her first contact with Jiang Tang after many, many years.

It happened right now.

He was trying to soothe his emotions for another woman.

Jiang Peining suddenly realized that she was deeply aware of the name of this emotion.

It seems to be called "jealousy".

Even though she had already returned to Chengdu, she had never actually gone to see Jiang Tang.

Could there be another reason?

It's because Jiang Peining wanted to escape.

She was trying to escape the possibility of becoming a normal girl, someone who would like and be jealous.

This made her feel like she wasn't herself anymore.

Being influenced by Jiang Tang was, in itself, a huge failure for someone who always held herself in high esteem.

That's why she kept indulging Jiang Tang, which seemed somewhat illogical.

Because according to general logic, if Jiang Peining cares about Jiang Tang, or even likes him...

It would naturally lead to a possessive desire.
