Chapter 283: Young Master, I Really Missed You~
As the maids brought out a series of exquisite dishes, Jiang Che got up and went to the study on the second floor.
If he remembered correctly, his father had stored many fine wines in the study. Sure enough, upon entering the study, Jiang Che saw a box filled with various bottles of wine in the corner.
He casually picked out two bottles of Feitian Moutai and left the study. When he returned to the first-floor hall, Su Shanshan had already come out of the kitchen.
“Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, please.” Jiang Che opened a bottle of Feitian Moutai and poured each of them a glass.
Although these two were his grandfather’s subordinates, they were highly respected figures outside the family and deserved this level of courtesy.
The three of them clinked glasses and drank quite a bit.
“Mr. Li, do you know what my grandfather is busy with in the Northwest?” Feeling a bit lightheaded from the alcohol, Jiang Che shook his head to clear it, lit a cigarette, and looked curiously at Mr. Li.
“Young master, it’s better not to ask.” Mr. Li shook his head, not answering Jiang Che’s question. They had signed confidentiality agreements regarding their work and couldn’t disclose anything to anyone.
“I apologize for being presumptuous…” Jiang Che rubbed his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed. He didn’t press further, knowing some matters couldn’t be discussed openly.
“Come on, let’s continue drinking.”
After the meal, it was nearly eleven at night. Jiang Che headed to the second floor and returned to his bedroom.
Even though he rarely stayed there, Su Shanshan always had someone clean his room daily. Thus, his room was always spotless and immaculate.
Mr. Li and Mr. Chen were arranged to stay in the guest rooms on the first floor by Su Shanshan.
Jiang Che groggily got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs.
In the living room on the first floor, only a few young maids were present near the sofa.
“Where’s my mother?” Jiang Che looked around the living room, not seeing Su Shanshan, and asked curiously.
He knew she didn’t have a habit of sleeping in and usually got up early.
“The lady has already gone to the company.” The maid answered respectfully, looking at Jiang Che with admiration.
Jiang Che’s reputation was well-known, and as the top young master in Linjiang, he had many admirers. The maids were no exception.
However, they knew Jiang Che wouldn’t fancy them, lacking the looks of someone like Ah Qing. They could never hope to rise to high status.
“And Mr. Li and Mr. Chen? Did they leave as well?”
“Yes, young master. The two gentlemen left early this morning. They said there were important matters at the master’s side that they needed to attend to immediately.”
“Hmm.” Jiang Che nodded, not asking further questions.
He sat at the dining table and started eating breakfast.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Che drove off.
He planned to visit his villa first. It had been a long time since he had seen his obedient little maid, and he missed her greatly.
In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa.
“Sister Menglan, when do you think the young master will come home?” Ah Qing sat on the sofa, looking a bit listless, and asked distractedly.
Ji Menglan glanced at her but didn’t answer.
She was speechless. This was the seventh time Ah Qing had asked her this question today. How would she know when Jiang Che would return?
It seemed this little girl was deeply infatuated with Jiang Che. Since he left, she had been asking this question countless times every day.
“Young master!” Ah Qing, who had been staring at the ceiling in boredom, suddenly glanced towards the door and saw Jiang Che walking into the living room.
Her eyes lit up, and she jumped up from the sofa, running towards Jiang Che.
“Young master, you’re finally back~ I missed you so much!” Ah Qing, full of excitement, threw herself into Jiang Che’s arms, practically knocking him over.
She nuzzled her head against his chest, greedily inhaling his scent.
“What did you miss about me?” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and asked playfully.
“Everything… I missed…” Ah Qing initially didn’t catch on to what Jiang Che meant, but as she was about to say more, she sensed a change in his body…
“Bad young master!” Ah Qing blushed, stepping out of Jiang Che’s embrace, giving him a coy look.
The young master was such a rogue!
“You were the one who jumped on me. How can you blame me?” Jiang Che shrugged, looking innocent. This little girl insisted on getting close to him. How could he be at fault?
“Didn’t you miss me at all during this time, young master?” Ah Qing asked with a hint of grievance in her eyes.
“Of course I did. Otherwise, why would I come back so soon? I originally planned to stay for a month.” Jiang Che replied earnestly, lying without batting an eye.
“Really?” Ah Qing lifted her head, her bright eyes fixed on Jiang Che, looking doubtful. She suspected he was just saying this to make her happy.
“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you?”
“Hehe, the young master is the best!
