Chapter 177. I really want to kidnap you and take you back to E country.
“Yes, let me show you. This is a photo my mom took of me when I was seven years old at a photo studio.” Jiang Chengcheng pulled out an old and vintage photo from her phone. The photo was taken from the back of the camera, so the corners were worn.
In the photo, Jiang Chengcheng is wearing an inexpensive and vintage white dress, with a classic red dot forehead sticker for decoration, giving her an indescribable charm.
In the 1990s, China's economy was not as developed as it is now. At that time, it seemed to be very popular for children to have a red dot on their forehead when taking photos. Children who had not had such photos taken were almost a minority.
"So cute, so pretty." Sirius looked at the photos on Jiang Chengcheng's phone, his praise coming with exceptional sincerity.
Sure enough, his little girl has been beautiful since she was a child.
Of course, Sirius's praise was somewhat biased. At that time, Jiang Chengcheng had not yet encountered the system, and her only advantage was that she was very fair-skinned. However, as the saying goes, fair skin covers up three flaws. At that time, Jiang Chengcheng was still young, and her skin condition was at the peak of an ordinary person's. So the statement that she was cute was still fair, but she was really not pretty.
Of course, no girl dislikes hearing others say she's pretty, and Jiang Chengcheng is no exception.
Hearing Sirius's praise, Jiang Chengcheng was overjoyed, and her face showed a childlike smugness.
"How long are you going to stay in China this time?" Jiang Chengcheng finally remembered the important matter after showing off.
"I'll leave tomorrow," Sirius replied, patting Jiang Chengcheng's head, his eyes filled with reluctance.
"So fast?" Jiang Chengcheng was also surprised to hear Sirius's answer, and couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Well, I have to go back and take care of other things, so I can only stay for one day." Sirius sensed Jiang Chengcheng's low spirits and felt a pang of guilt.
"Okay, I'd like to stay a few more days, but I'll have to come find you when I have time!" Jiang Chengcheng wasn't unreasonable; knowing that Sirius had more important things to do, she could only pretend not to care and reply.

half an hour.
"I have to go now. My parents are home today. They just arrived in Beijing not long ago, and I can't leave them home alone." Jiang Chengcheng saw that it was already late and was getting ready to go home. Afraid that Sirius would be unhappy, Jiang Chengcheng explained a few more words.
"Of course, I'll take you back." Upon hearing this, Sirius stood up and put on the black suit jacket next to him.
"Huh? Is it okay for you to take me?" Jiang Chengcheng thought that the other person was currently in China. Putting aside the safety issue, it was also uncertain whether they knew the way.
"Don't worry, my Chinese is pretty good, I can understand the navigation." Since Sirius was going to take Jiang Chengcheng, he couldn't bring too many people with him, otherwise the two of them would probably be trending on domestic and international social media the next day.
"Okay." Jiang Chengcheng felt much more at ease after hearing this. China is safer than other countries after all. As long as she knows the way, she can solve most problems. Besides, Jiang Chengcheng also wants to spend more time with Sirius.
After putting on sunglasses and masks and tidying themselves up, the two left the hotel together. However, for security reasons, two bodyguards followed them in the back seat.
As night falls, Beijing's night view is like a dream, with lights shining like stars. The city is bustling with traffic. Some people are disappointed, some are heartbroken, and some are in a hurry with smiles on their faces. The myriad aspects of life and countless people who have drifted to Beijing create this unique night scene. Once upon a time, Jiang Chengcheng was one of them, but now, looking back, everything has changed.
Jiang Chengcheng looked at Sirius beside her, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.
It's so good to have you in this life.
.........
Jiang Chengcheng's home was not far from the hotel, and Sirius quickly stopped not far from her door.
"We've arrived. Go back now. Remember to come visit me in E country when you have time, because I'll miss you too." Looking at Jiang Chengcheng so close to him, Sirius's reluctance to part became even more genuine.
"Okay, be careful on your way back, and call me when you get there." Jiang Chengcheng didn't dare to look Sirius in the eyes, afraid that if she looked at her once, she would never want to leave again.
With a heavy heart, Jiang Chengcheng got up, opened the car door, and walked towards the Jiang family mansion gate without looking back.
"Chengcheng!" The car door opened again, and Sirius's deep voice came from behind. Jiang Chengcheng finally couldn't help but stop.
moment.
Jiang Chengcheng entered a warm and cozy embrace, and heard a hoarse voice in her ear.
"Little girl, you're so heartless. You didn't even look at me. I don't know when we'll meet again. Remember to come visit me in E country when you have time. I'll miss you." Sirius hugged Jiang Chengcheng tightly, thinking that after this parting, he didn't know when they would meet again.
Although they both longed to be with each other every moment, they were more aware than anyone of the responsibilities they carried, and neither could bring themselves to ask the other to stay, because on the other side stood their own country and family…
"Definitely!" Jiang Chengcheng's tone was both a promise and an answer, and she was extremely serious.
"Alright, now you shouldn't look back. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking you back to E country and watching you every moment." Sirius slowly released his grip on Jiang Chengcheng, his voice carrying a seductive quality.
moment.
The sound of a car driving away came from behind, and Jiang Chengcheng finally couldn't help but turn around.
"Fool."
Jiang Chengcheng murmured something with reddened eyes, then turned and walked towards the Jiang residence.
Outside the door, bodyguards and National Guard: Mom… I think I’ve discovered some terrible secret… I wonder if it’s too late to pretend I don’t know…
"What's going on?" Jiang Chengcheng looked at the many unfamiliar faces that had suddenly appeared at her doorstep, all of them armed with guns, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Before the bodyguard captain could answer, the door opened and Uncle Zhong walked out.
“Miss, you’re back. There’s a guest named Lin Xingyun waiting for you inside,” Uncle Zhong said respectfully as he stepped forward.
"Uncle Lin? What brings him here?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Well… he didn’t say, but I saw that the master and mistress both knew that person, so I arranged for him to wait in the living room. I was just about to contact you when a servant told me you were back,” Uncle Zhong replied.
"Okay, I got it. Take me to see him." Jiang Chengcheng thought that Lin Xingyun wouldn't come looking for her at this time unless something serious had happened.
As expected, Jiang Chengcheng was right. As soon as she entered the living room, she was met with a serious-looking Lin Xingyun.
For a moment, Jiang Chengcheng thought that her affair with Sirius had been discovered, but it turned out that she was overthinking it.
"Chengcheng, do you remember when you were driving and almost accidentally hit the driver of your family's truck?" Lin Xingyun asked, his expression somewhat grim.
"I remember, what happened? Wasn't she sent to the hospital?" Jiang Chengcheng was a little confused when she heard this. Why would Lin Xingyun suddenly ask this?
"He died, on his way to the hospital. The cause of death was poisoning." Lin Xingyun clenched his fists, his tone tinged with resentment.
