Chapter 4: First Encounter with Shen Qingqiu, The Charm of the First Female Lead

Jiang Che, following Su Shanshan’s suggestion, agreed, “Let’s go to the Shen family now. I have some cooperative projects to discuss with Shen Feng.”

As they arrived at the Shen family compound, Jiang Che walked behind Su Shanshan. He had rarely visited since Shen Qingqiu left for martial arts training at thirteen. The familiar yet foreign buildings evoked a sense of sentimentality in him.

Inside the living room, Shen Feng, the family head, was leisurely sipping tea when a servant approached him, “Family head, Mrs. Jiang and Young Master Jiang are here for a visit.”

Shen Feng, surprised, responded, “Oh, Mrs. Jiang and the young master have come?” He knew his family was on good terms with the Jiangs, but visits from Su Shanshan were rare and meaningful.

“It must be about Qingqiu…” Shen Feng deduced, realizing Su Shanshan’s visit was likely due to Shen Qingqiu’s recent return to Linjiang City, prompting this visit with Jiang Che. He promptly got up to greet them.

Meeting Shen Feng, Su Shanshan greeted him with a light smile, “Master Shen, how have you been? How’s the business lately?”

Shen Feng, smiling back, replied, “Thank you for asking, Mrs. Jiang. The business is doing quite well.” Turning to Jiang Che, he said warmly, “Hello, Xiao Che. I haven’t seen you in a while.”

Jiang Che replied respectfully, “I’ve been busy with my studies, so I haven’t had much time to visit. I hope you understand, Uncle Shen.”

His response was well-received, as Shen Feng understood the demands of Jiang Che’s imminent graduation and the responsibilities awaiting him at Jiang Corporation.

“Xiao Che, you’re too polite. Let’s go inside and talk,” invited Shen Feng, leading them into the living room.

Once settled, Shen Feng got straight to the point, “Mrs. Jiang, is there anything special about your visit today?”

Su Shanshan answered, “Nothing major, just here to discuss the details of our families’ cooperation on the city center’s unfinished building project.”

“And I heard Qingqiu has returned, so I thought of visiting her as well,” Su Shanshan said with a light smile.

“Ah, that’s what this is about…” Shen Feng realized, understanding that apart from discussing the unfinished building project, the visit was also to see Shen Qingqiu.

He did have many details about the building renovation to discuss with the Jiang family, and this visit provided a good opportunity.

“Go upstairs and call Qingqiu down,” Shen Feng instructed a butler standing nearby.

“Yes, master,” the butler replied and headed upstairs.

“Mrs. Jiang, regarding the unfinished building project, I think we can…”

…

“Father, you called for me?” A crisp and cool female voice echoed as Shen Qingqiu descended from the second floor.

Jiang Che looked up and saw a stunning woman in a white long dress entering the room.

She had a delicate, oval-shaped face, bright eyes, and teeth like pearls, with an alluring charm in her gaze. Her beauty was like a scene of autumn waters, her cheeks like peach blossoms, and her skin as smooth as cream.

As Jiang Che gazed at Shen Qingqiu, she also noticed his stare. Eight years had passed since their last meeting, and now their eyes met again…

…

“Qingqiu, long time no see…” Jiang Che smiled slightly, breaking the silence first.

“Jiang Che, long time no see…” Shen Qingqiu also paused for a moment, looking at the handsome young man before her. After eight years of separation, she thought she had moved on from Jiang Che.

Yet, this reunion stirred emotions she hadn’t expected to feel. The boy she followed around back then had grown into such a striking young man, but she could still see glimpses of the young Jiang Che in his sunny smile.

“After eight years, I didn’t expect that the little slug who used to follow me all day would become so beautiful …” Jiang Che said with a sigh.

n his mind, he was determined not to call off the marriage. Why would he let such a beautiful woman go to the protagonist, Ye Chen? Currently, Shen Qingqiu didn’t have feelings for Ye Chen; it was merely unrequited love on Ye Chen’s part.

With proper planning, Jiang Che was confident he could win Shen Qingqiu’s heart. He was experienced in romance even before his transmigration; making Shen Qingqiu fall in love with him seemed within reach.
