Chapter 1469: Chapter 844: Straight Guy vs. Green Tea, Round Two—Why Climb the Wall Instead of Using the Front Door?
Inside the club’s private room.
Given someone’s steel male demeanor, the atmosphere in the room also became extremely awkward, Jiang Jinsang took a sip of hot tea, maintaining the same expression, yet sighed inwardly.
They came today under the guise of thanking her to probe for information, subtly spooking and probing along the way.
Just like his fourth brother’s demeanor, not to mention gathering any intel, he feared that Miss Yang’s level would soon crumble beneath his feet.
He smiled at Jiang Chengsi and gave him a knowing look.
"Fourth brother, where have you been? Dressed like this, it doesn’t seem like you’re going to work."
"Recently on vacation, busy with cars." After a whirlwind trip to Nanjiang, Si Yushan granted him a period of leave upon their return to Beijing.
He wished he could be at the Si family every day, sticking with Si Qingxiao every second, but due to Si Yushan, it was inconvenient; otherwise, he wouldn’t have buried himself in the repair shop working on cars.
"How’s the car coming along?" Jiang Jinsang continued the topic.
"It’s not going smoothly; recently, Beijing has been tightly monitored, and there’s no way to race outside." This was also sparked by Jiang Shiyi’s episode of racing and intercepting others last time.
"I heard Fourth Master is very skilled at racing." Yang Yiyi suddenly interjected.
Jiang Chengsi lowered his head to drink some water and said blandly, "It’s okay."
In fact, he wanted to say:
Isn’t his prowess in racing widely known? Any doubts?
"I also really like racing; I even applied at your club before. There were so many people that day; I guess you don’t remember me." She smiled sheepishly.
"I heard that Fourth Master used to go to Hexi to race often, but it seems you’ve made fewer visits since you started dating; I also heard you’ve studied finance..."
"People outside say you’ve changed a lot since you got a girlfriend."
...
Tang Wan lowered her eyebrows and rubbed her cup.
She used to know only that Yang Yiyi tried various ways to approach her, with a mind and ambition, but didn’t know she handled men with such a green-tea attitude.
The words seemed fine at first glance, but upon reconsideration, were worth pondering.
In the circle, if purely comparing Jiang Chengsi and the Si family, it seemed like the man was weaker and the woman stronger, thus the widely spread notion of him marrying into the family. Her words seemed to imply Si Qingxiao’s dominance, making Jiang Chengsi give up his passions.
Listening to this, Jiang Chengsi just looked at Yang Yiyi and asked an offhand question:
"How long have you been with Geng Dong?"
Yang Yiyi paused, "Half a year."
"How do you know I don’t go to Hexi often for racing? Are you so focused on me?"
The voice carried a hint of teasing, seeming nonchalant, but the implication was:
You have a boyfriend; why are you watching me!
Tang Wan took a sip of tea:
Her fourth brother was seriously too much; she was genuinely curious about how he managed to pursue Si Qingxiao back then.
Yang Yiyi’s heart skipped a beat, blushing as he looked at her, "Actually, it’s Geng Dong who’s more focused on you; I just occasionally hear him mention it."
"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Chengsi smiled.
That temperament, akin to sunlight and mischievousness, was something many women found extremely hard to resist.
Yang Yiyi lowered her head, her ears turning instantly red.
At this moment, the manager led people, and dishes were successively served, halting the conversation.

Meanwhile, at the Si family.
Si Qingxiao was cutting fabric in her workroom when someone knocked and entered. She glanced at the person entering from the corner of her eye, "What’s up?"
"Didn’t you ask us to keep an eye on Miss Yang?"
"Found anything?"
"She went to Fourth Master’s club and now they’re having a meal together."
Si Qingxiao paused for half a second while holding scissors, "I see."
"Miss, but Fifth Master and Teacher Tang are also accompanying them, so it’s not just them dining alone." The Si family member explained.
"Are you worried there might be something between them?" Si Qingxiao put down the scissors.
The Si family member didn’t dare speak; frankly, their household had high expectations for Jiang Chengsi, even sending him to Nanjiang for a long time. Although it’s for his benefit, they feared Fourth Master couldn’t stand it...
At this time, if he encountered a gentle and charming girl who’s alluring, it’s hard to guarantee he wouldn’t...
"If he really had something with her, why would he arrange a date at his own club, so overtly? Who would be so high-profile? Plus, Fifth Master is there too; maybe because she provided timely information about Geng Dong’s escape last time." Si Qingxiao was very perceptive, understanding immediately.
The Si family member nodded, "But Miss Yang really put in a lot of effort for this meal, shopping in the morning, then doing beauty treatments and getting her hair done in the afternoon, exhausting herself for the whole day."
Si Qingxiao smiled without speaking.
