Chapter 140 On the Compatibility of Domineering CEOs and Father-like Men
Because they often chat on their phones, Jiang Chengcheng is no longer as nervous and awkward when she meets Sirius as she was before.
Without any formalities, she plopped down on the hotel bed, crossed her legs, and watched the latest hit drama on TV. Meanwhile, Sirius sat on the sofa next to her, eating the food prepared by Jiang Chengcheng's mother, and occasionally glancing at Jiang Chengcheng with a smile in his eyes.
"Eat your food, why are you staring at me!" Jiang Chengcheng felt uncomfortable all over, even her ears felt like they were deep in lava and would evaporate at any moment.
"Every glance is precious; I'm leaving the day after tomorrow morning, and who knows when we'll see each other again," Sirius said, looking at Jiang Chengcheng's blushing cheeks and stating his thoughts directly.
At this moment, the TV series is showing a classic scene from "The Late Arrival," where the male lead is watching the female lead eat on the balcony through a one-way glass window while eating his own boxed lunch.
Jiang Chengcheng noticed a strange overlap between the scene in the TV series and Sirius's actions at that moment.
She couldn't help but shake her head, scolding herself for being crazy!
Sirius isn't some domineering CEO type like the male lead, is he? →_→
"What's wrong?" Sirius looked at Jiang Chengcheng as she suddenly shook her head, a strange expression on his face.
He glanced at the television with a suspicious look. Was something wrong with it?
"It's nothing, I just suddenly realized that your movements are quite similar to those of the male lead in TV dramas." Jiang Chengcheng didn't hide anything, after all, interesting things are more fun to share with others.
"Really? What's this TV series about?" Sirius asked, intrigued by Jiang Chengcheng's question.
"Haha, I'll also clarify. If I had to put it that way, it would be like a domineering CEO falling in love with me?" Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the plot on TV and scratched her head as she spoke.
She had watched this TV series in her previous life, but she had long forgotten the details after so many years.
"The domineering CEO falls in love with you? What do you mean?" Sirius frowned upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words.
Who is this domineering CEO? How could he fall in love with Chengcheng? Aren't they discussing something from a TV drama?
"Oh! I forgot you don't have this kind of meme in your country. It's a concept from a genre of Chinese romance novels, referring to a writing style. The 'domineering CEO' is similar to an oligarch in your country, and 'I' am just an ordinary person living in the world. You know how it feels to relate? A domineering oligarch falls in love with me! The oligarch's little darling! Tell me, does that sound exciting?!" Jiang Chengcheng looked at Sirius's puzzled expression and deeply sympathized with his lack of understanding of domineering CEO literature, so she quickly explained it using a concept he could understand.
"Oh, is that what you mean? So Chengcheng likes this kind of thing? Actually, I can too." Sirius said with a hint of teasing in his tone after hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't expect that the other party would understand so well after she only explained a few words.
Hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng didn't feel shy this time.
Instead, she even seriously imagined in her mind the classic scene of Sirius pushing her against the wall and saying in an extremely seductive tone, "Woman, you're playing with fire!"
"Hahaha!!!! I can't take it! This is hilarious!" Jiang Chengcheng felt a strong sense of incongruity whenever she imagined the scene in her mind, with a face belonging to Sirius superimposed on it!
What a terrible combination! The main problem is that Sirius's aura is too upright, making him a typical daddy boyfriend, not a domineering CEO!
"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Sirius noticed that shortly after he finished speaking, Jiang Chengcheng looked up at the sky, thought for a moment, and then laughed so hard she bent over. Sirius couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Was there something wrong with what he said?
"No! No! I just can't quite imagine what it would be like for you to play the domineering CEO type." Jiang Chengcheng finally calmed down and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was fine.
"By the way, is my mom's cooking good?" Jiang Chengcheng looked at Sirius's somewhat bewildered lake-green eyes and didn't continue the topic.
"It's delicious." Sirius smiled and handed the empty lunchbox in his hand to Jiang Chengcheng for a look.
To be honest, apart from being a bit spicy, the taste is impeccable.
"Of course! I've been eating this since I was a child! My mom is a great cook! These are all my favorite flavors!" Jiang Chengcheng said with a smug look on her face, as if she had made the whole box of food herself.
"Really? Then I'm truly honored." Sirius smiled indulgently at Jiang Chengcheng's proud little expression.
"By the way, are you free tomorrow? Want to go out with me?" Sirius asked, as if he had just thought of something.
"Go out? Go where? Aren't you going sightseeing with the Chinese people?" Jiang Chengcheng was also confused when she heard this. Shouldn't the other party's itinerary for tomorrow be to discuss and travel with the officials?
“I’ve done what I needed to do today. I told them I wanted to be alone for a day. Although they were worried about my safety, they didn’t insist on following me,” Sirius explained, noticing Jiang Chengcheng’s confusion.
"Really? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Jiang Chengcheng wasn't very clear about the procedures for foreign consuls visiting China, but since Sirius had said so, it probably didn't matter much.
“There’s an old Chinese saying, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’ Since you’re the tour guide tomorrow, you can arrange the itinerary.” Sirius wasn’t too picky about the places he wanted to go, after all, he just wanted to be with Chengcheng.
"Okay, fine. W City doesn't have any particularly famous tourist attractions."
"How about we go hiking? I remember there's an ancient sheep mountain in the east of the city. It's sparsely populated, mostly frequented by hikers and cyclists, but the scenery there is very beautiful, especially now that it's winter. It should be snowing there, and if we're lucky, we might even see frost flowers." Jiang Chengcheng asked Sirius for his opinion after checking the map on Baidu.
“Okay, let’s go hiking.” Sirius didn’t refuse and readily agreed to Jiang Chengcheng’s itinerary. However, his actions left Jiang Chengcheng somewhat flustered.
No? Climbing a mountain? Are you going to give up before you even know how difficult it is?
Jiang Chengcheng accepted Sirius's tour guide job without really understanding what was going on. As it got dark, and remembering the instructions her parents had given her before they arrived, she had no choice but to leave in a hurry to avoid arousing their suspicion.
The night view of W City is probably one of the best in China. After all, it is a famous city of lanterns, and with the Chinese New Year approaching, almost every household hangs red lanterns at their door.
When Jiang Chengcheng finally got home, she found her parents and sister sitting in the living room.
"Sister, have you finished filming your scenes?" Jiang Yue hadn't gone home earlier because she was busy with filming.
