It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Xu Shi couldn't help but tease when he saw this.

Of course, it was just a joke. What level is Jiang Chengcheng at? At least people who are exposed to these new things for the first time can't tell the difference at all, so they won't really take out a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron to make people suspicious and criticized.

The eldest lady smiled happily, she knew that her man was happy because this guy was not a real person.

"That's about it, is there anything else you want to see?"

"No, if I really want to say anything, it's just to praise Madam for her hard work."

Xu Shi shook his head with satisfaction, and then hugged her tightly with some emotion.

To be honest, he is actually a little touched now - some people do not deny that they have bad human nature, but they have hearts after all, and naturally know how much Jiang Chengcheng has paid for these things during this period of time.

Building factories, arranging manpower, including what she had discussed with Pan Cheng before, teaching the indigenous people of Yinsong Island the basic industrial knowledge and skills... This does not count the deeper level of education. The industrialization of Yinsong Island has been so smooth, and her efforts are indispensable.

Even if she didn't do everything herself, she had to work around the clock these days... When Xu Shi was away, she would be the leader of everyone left behind, which was something Xia Xiaomao was not good at.

It seems a bit of a lack of vocabulary to always say that she is thoughtful, but this word really suits her.

She never said whether she was tired or not. Have you seen her mention a single word from the beginning till now?

She has always held the idea that "this is what I should do". For Xu Shi, she felt it was worth it even if she had to work as hard as moving mountains and filling the sea. Even if the help she provided in the end was only the size of a needle tip, it was a very happy thing for her.

Well, maybe not? If she could only help a little, she would probably just feel sorry for herself and think that she hadn't done enough.

"Thank you, Chengcheng."

Xu Shi expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

"Why are you thanking me? This is what I should do..."

Jiang Chengcheng was just as expected, just a little shy, with no boastful reaction at all.

"I was just thinking, since Arlene is not here, should I fill in the gap and share more of your burdens like she did?"

At first glance, these words sounded like she was trying to steal someone's house, but in fact, she had no such intention at all. Instead, she sincerely wanted to do more for the man in front of her, to whom she had given her body and soul.

Otherwise, this energy would have been used for jealousy, but she didn't.

"...You don't need to compare yourself with others. You have done very well."

Xu Shi said sincerely that he didn't like to classify the girls around him into different levels, you are all my stab wounds.

"Hey, what about me?"

Xie Qingyan couldn't bear to see the two of them being so affectionate in public, so he asked out of jealousy.

"You?...You did pretty well too, huh."

Xu Shi's mind was on the eldest lady, and his answers were visibly perfunctory.

This made the bitch a little unhappy. Although she knew that asking this question at this time was just asking for trouble, she just felt uncomfortable...

"Oh."

So she just responded and walked out of the warehouse very dejectedly.

"Hey? Madam Xie, why did you come out first?"

Miss Xiaomei was guarding the door and was a little surprised to see her alone. "Where are Mr. Xu and Madam Jiang?"

"I'm still looking at something inside."

Xie Qingyan replied indifferently.

"Oh."

Miss Mei nodded, noticing her bad mood, "What's wrong with you?"

"…I'm fine. I'm fine."

Of course the bitch wouldn't tell her her true feelings, so she just said it perfunctorily.

He originally wanted to find the little curly-haired guy to vent his anger, but when he turned around, he was not there - someone had to keep an eye on the Maomao Sect's affairs, and Ye Shanshan and Shen Qin were in charge these days.

So annoying!

"After all, I am a patient now, isn't it your responsibility to take better care of me..."

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyan inexplicably felt some emotions unique to little girls, and she kept mumbling to herself.

"Mrs. Xie, what did you say?" Miss Xiaomei didn't hear clearly.

"……nothing."

Seeing her like this, Xiaomei didn't ask any more questions. She thought to herself, "Mrs. Xie seems to have always been like this? When we were on the island, I felt that she was a little out of tune with the others... Why is it that after so much time, I always feel that this feeling is getting stronger and stronger?"

Xie Qingyan was outside sulking for a long time before Xu Shi and Jiang Chengcheng came out in a sweet manner.

"What are you doing? It feels like someone owes you money."

Seeing this, Xu Shi smiled and said, "Don't be unbalanced. We still have to go to the palace to treat you later, right?"

"Who's unbalanced? That's about it."

The bitch was just being stubborn and refused to admit it.

"Alright alright."

Xu Shi saw through it but didn't say anything. He just continued to instruct, "Sorry to bother you, Miss Xiaomei. Please pack up the things and ship some samples over later."

"okay."

"You're going to the palace?"

Jiang Chengcheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, I heard about it, it's the little queen, right?"

"What little queen...Okay, okay, if you say it is true, then it is true. No more quibbling."

Xu Shi also wanted to be stubborn, but when he saw that the other party obviously knew everything, he agreed.

"That's right, why are you hiding it?"

Jiang Chengcheng laughed dumbly, "But I'm also a little curious... Should I go with you?"

Chapter 276 Curious Baby Jiang Chengcheng

2023-09-26

Jiang Chengcheng was truly curious. Although she had expected that Xu Shi would inevitably attack Dongfang Xiao, she was still not very clear about the details. When she asked Xie Qingyan, he refused to tell her and was evasive and hesitant, which made her want to go and see what was going on.

She is the queen after all. It must be difficult to conquer her, right?

Of course, continuing to stay with Xu Shi is also a very important factor. Although it is her turn tonight according to the shift schedule, the eldest lady can't wait that long. She wishes to be with Xu Shi all the time.

Urgent, urgent, urgent. It’s so urgent.

Xu Shi naturally would not refuse such a beautiful woman who came to him on her own initiative, not to mention that a short separation is better than a new marriage... Such a virtuous wife, shouldn’t he be rewarded well?

The only one who held an opposing opinion was of course Xie Qingyan. To be honest, even though there was a little queen standing in the way, this was one of the few times she could be alone with Xu Shi recently... You guys are still not serious if you want to take away even this little time, huh? !

But unfortunately, the opposition was ineffective. What else could we do? The disease could not be cured?

The important thing is to eliminate the spiritual erosion of the sea god as soon as possible and restore to the previous state. Just being angry will not solve any problems.

However, she was also very stubborn and did not ride in the same car with Xu Shi and the others. This was Chairman Xie's last stubbornness.

"By the way, are you deliberately ignoring her?"

Xie Qingyan is actually very easy to understand now, so Jiang Chengcheng, who witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Weren't you two still very close when you just came back from defeating the Sea God? Why do I feel something is wrong now?"

She thought to herself that Xie Qingyan was different from them, so it was normal for him to have a little temper occasionally - but you have been through life and death together, is this the legendary way of being able to share adversity but not wealth?

"I'm not like I don't have you, don't talk nonsense."

Xu Shi didn't think it was his fault. "It all comes down to her complications. Otherwise, she wouldn't be like this."

"complication?"

This was the first time Xie Qingyan had a seizure. No, the seizure happened when he just left Yinsong Island and came to the main city of the empire. Jiang Chengcheng didn’t know much about it, so she became more curious after hearing what he said.

Xu Shi did not hide anything from her and told her the general story.

“…Is that so?”

Jiang Chengcheng was also somewhat surprised after hearing this, and she had no idea that the impact of complications would be so serious - she herself was not an "upgraded person", so even if she had a lot of theoretical knowledge, she could not experience it firsthand.

"No wonder her personality is different now."

She sighed softly, "And people have become stupider."

"Stupid?" Xu Shi was confused for a moment.

"Yes, if I were her, I would definitely not hide away and sulk now. I would shamelessly pester you for more warmth, right?"

The eldest lady spread her hands and explained without hesitation, "If you can't figure out something like this, aren't you stupid?"

What she said made sense. The fact was that ever since the onset of complications, my fiancée had indeed lost some of her smartness and had become more impulsive and irritable... This was clearly the effect of Poseidon's erosion.

Of course, her own personality is also a factor - Director Xie is arrogant by nature, so it seems unrealistic to expect her to act coquettishly on her own initiative. Even if she really does act coquettishly, she won't do it in front of other people.

But don't forget, she once wanted to join forces with other girls to take over Xu Shi... Although it ended in failure, we can still see a lot from the small details.

Xu Shi smiled and said nothing.

"But it's not all her fault."

Jiang Chengcheng continued, "She is also a patient now... There are some things she can't figure out herself. You can also try to take the initiative and care about her more, right?"

"Um?!"

Xu Shi's eyes widened, obviously not expecting her to say such a thing.

Isn't this pushing me towards other people? Jiang Chengcheng's possessiveness is actually quite strong, and she almost became a little yandere before... Now she actually takes the initiative to ask me to care about other girls, which is really a bit unexpected.

"Nothing, it's just that I've been through this before, and I have a lot of pain in my heart that I can't express, and I can't find anyone to talk to, or I don't dare to talk to anyone else."

Jiang Chengcheng was frank, "I feel like she's about the same, but no matter who does it, the effect won't be better than you, Xu Shi, right?"

"And this will also help everyone get along better... If Arlene were here, maybe she would have the same idea as me?"

No, she might not... Thinking back to Sister Su's previous awkward thoughts, Xu Shi silently denied it in his heart.

However, Jiang Chengcheng's attitude is very likable. She is gentle, intellectual, and considerate. She is not jealous at ordinary times, and now she is extraordinarily open-minded and generous.

Xu Shi always felt that she was really following the thinking mode of a "big wife". Was this also a manifestation of consolidating her status?

But regardless of whether there is such a thing or not, her approach of "wanting to hold an umbrella for others after getting caught in the rain herself" is very commendable, especially when everyone has some little thoughts in mind to a greater or lesser extent.

"I know. I didn't deliberately distance myself from her."

It was rare for a girl to lecture him, and Xu Shi inexplicably wanted to laugh, "Besides, what are we going to do now?"

Jiang Chengcheng thought so too, so she tactfully stopped talking.

She trusted Xu Shi unconditionally, and naturally believed that Xu Shi could handle these things... The fact was that having accompanied him all the way, she seemed to have never seen any fire in the backyard.

This may be due to Xu Shi's ability, but if he really let things go, I am afraid the relationship between everyone may not be so good. The superficial peace may be maintained, but it will definitely not be as harmonious as it is now.

"Okay, okay, it seems I said too much?"

So she stopped worrying about it and turned to talk about other things. "By the way, it seems that Miss An can now... switch sizes at will, right?"

"Yeah, what?"

"Oh, I was just wondering if it would be troublesome to get dressed like this?"

The lady couldn't help laughing.

"You are right."

Xu Shi couldn't help but laugh, "So... do you have any good ideas?"

"Maybe?"

Jiang Chengcheng tapped his chin with his finger. "When I was on Silver Pine Island before, I saw some animals on the island that were affected by the "Rust Mist". The hide of one of them was very unique and had good ductility... Maybe I can use it to try to make some clothes for her?"

"It won't be dangerous, will it?"

"I will definitely take care of it, okay? You underestimate me..."

"No, I trust you, Madam."

"Hey, how about a kiss?"
