Chapter 356: I'm Taking You to My Room Now

Jiang Yuhua was held in Jian Suiyu's embrace. She whispered, "Let me go."

Jian Suiyu replied, "I'm not holding you tightly. You can struggle if you want."

Right! The moment she struggled, Jian Suiyu only held her tighter!

Jiang Yuhua had never met someone like Jian Suiyu before!! He said one thing but did another—and yet, she couldn’t help but be drawn to him!!

Jiang Yuhua lowered her head, her ears turning red. "Jian Suiyu, what do you mean by suddenly saying all this to me now?"

Jian Suiyu lifted her chin and looked down at her. "I like you. I was interested in you since the Fox Spirit dungeon. But back then, Blaze was in dire straits, and you were the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I felt I wasn’t good enough for you, so I didn’t say anything."

Jiang Yuhua had regained her composure. "I don’t believe you."

Even if she wasn’t the most strong-willed person, that didn’t mean she’d be easily swayed by Jian Suiyu’s smooth talk.

She did like his type, but liking someone didn’t necessarily mean she had to take it further.

Jian Suiyu sighed. Clearly, if he didn’t spell everything out today, Jiang Yuhua would never believe him.

"Blaze is usually buried in work. I rarely have time for dungeons. When I entered the Fox Spirit dungeon, I planned to leave immediately.

But you were the one who dragged me into it. I knew your initial intention was to ask about Wu Yue. With the whole alliance watching the livestream, I didn’t want to play along with you at first.

But..."

Jiang Yuhua’s eyes flashed with recognition—she, too, remembered that moment...

The first stage of the Fox Spirit dungeon was a haunted house. For Wu Yue and Shen Que, it was easy—they could chase ghosts head-on. But Jiang Yuhua was scared of ghosts.

Jian Suiyu watched as Jiang Yuhua, clearly jumping at shadows, still stubbornly pretended to be calm and tough.

He even tried to persuade her: "Vice Captain Jiang, if you’re really this scared..." She could just back out now.

Jiang Yuhua shot back, "I told you I’m not scared!!"

Jian Suiyu shrugged. "Fine."

But Jiang Yuhua was truly terrified. The first Fox Spirit items they drew were completely useless—infrared night-vision goggles and a megaphone.

When a headless female ghost suddenly lunged at them, Jian Suiyu saw Jiang Yuhua trembling all over, her gaze desperate and vulnerable as she instinctively looked at him, her eyes reddening, tears welling up from sheer panic.

Jian Suiyu suddenly understood—whatever it was that Jiang Yuhua was determined to endure, it must have been something incredibly important to her.

His heart softened.

He dismantled the infrared goggles and megaphone, rigging them up into a ghost alarm. The infrared sensor had a five-meter radius around the holder—if any abnormal lifeform approached, the horn would automatically sound.

Jiang Yuhua had watched him work with curiosity, without complaint.

When he handed it to her, the look she gave him was filled with wonder and disbelief.

Taking the detector, her gaze when she looked at him again took on a new meaning.

Jian Suiyu moved in closer. "I heard from Richard that your father was the former Minister of Justice in Ancient China, your uncle is a businessman, and Wu Yue’s father was once a special forces soldier.

The entire Jiang family has never produced a single science whiz—proving they just don’t have the genes for it."

"Most likely, your science subjects wouldn't be great either."

Wuyue's skill in piloting shuttles fundamentally relied on strong logical abilities; when it came to deep professional knowledge, she was at a loss.

Jiang Yuhua suspiciously fell silent for a moment, then decided to be honest, "I saw you had talent back then and wanted to recruit you to the Jiang Family Research Institute."

Jian Suiyu, "Then why didn't you say anything later?"

Jiang Yuhua, "..." How could she explain that upon getting to know her better, she found Jian Suiyu suited her in every way?

Once her thoughts were no longer simple, she became hesitant instead.

Seeing her guilty look, Jian Suiyu felt an itch in his heart and leaned in to kiss her.

Jiang Yuhua glared at him, "Jian Suiyu, if you want to talk, just talk! Don't always touch me!"

Jian Suiyu, "Yuhua, your show of force looks completely unthreatening, it only makes me want to tease you more."

Jiang Yuhua drew her gun, "Jian Suiyu, what you're doing right now is still within the Jiang Family! It's enough to get you killed a hundred times over!!"

Jian Suiyu raised his hands, "Alright, let's talk business."

Jian Suiyu braced his hands against the wall on either side of Jiang Yuhua, "But talking is one thing, you can't run."

"Jiang Yuhua, I can't just lay everything out while you pretend to be clueless. You have to give me a clear answer, do you have feelings for me or not?"

Jiang Yuhua suddenly looked away, "At that time, I already saw that you didn't want to tell me about Yueyue.

Those ghosts kept scaring me, I wanted to leave, but after you made that detector, I thought I'd give it another try to see if I could recruit you."

But the detector you made was really interesting. I played through the first level.

When we got to the second level, you made a water source detector, and you even used a Tesla coil to use lightning to start a fire—it was truly amazing. I was a little..."

Jian Suiyu, "Falling for me."

Jiang Yuhua lowered her head and stayed silent.

Jian Suiyu told her, "Actually, none of that needed to be so exaggerated. I did it on purpose—I was trying to seduce you."

Clearly, Jiang Yuhua was totally into it. The way she looked at him back then was utterly captivated.

Jiang Yuhua caught her breath, staring at Jian Suiyu in disbelief. "Do you always talk like this to everyone?!"

This guy has no shame at all! Absolutely unacceptable!

Jian Suiyu leaned closer. "Only with you. That’s why I got angry and deliberately bullied you when you said the Fox Spirit mission was nothing."

Jiang Yuhua pressed her lips together, her eyes red as she clamped her mouth shut, determined not to say a word.

Jian Suiyu tightened his arms around her waist. "You know I can detect lies. You know denying it is pointless, so you just refuse to speak.

But Yu Hua, the more you act like this, the more it proves you have feelings for me. Otherwise, if I did these things to you in the Jiang family, you would’ve had me thrown out long ago.

You also wouldn’t have defended me over and over in front of Wu Yue, covering for me."

Jiang Yuhua finally said, "I'm supposed to be getting married."

Jian Suiyu kissed her angrily. "You know perfectly well that at this point, there's no way they'd let you marry into the Li family now. You’re only saying this to get a rise out of me."

The Jiang family's mistakes have dragged Blaze into crisis. Why the hell should I bother helping your family catch the mole?

Shen Que just killed a military general, and Blaze has no clue what kind of shitstorm is coming. Yet here I am, ditching Blaze just to track you down.

I'm already here, and I've made my feelings clear. Jiang Yuhua, can't you just give it to me straight? Is it really that hard?"

Jiang Yuhua was left gasping from Jian Suiyu's kisses. Suddenly, she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the stairs.

Jian Suiyu held her back. "Where are you taking me?"

Jiang Yuhua turned to look at him. "To my room."

Jian Suiyu sputtered, totally thrown. "...What?"

Jiang Yuhua said, "Didn't you want me to give you an answer?

Fine. Yes, I like you. I'm the Jiang family's eldest daughter—what I want, I get.

We're both adults. Didn't you say you wanted to be my lover, my side piece? You're on.

Now I'm taking you to my room. Clear?"
