After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 386 How stark is this?

'They naively thought it was his unique taste, but little did they know it was an unspeakable duel.'

The image is divided into sections, depicting a spy-versus-spy scenario, but who is who?

From a third-person perspective, it's also clear that everyone has flaws...

The car stereo was playing Hush's "Third Person," a version more widely known by the singer who also uses coupons to buy chili peppers, but Liang Can preferred the original version.

Liang Can felt that the atmosphere between him and Jiang Yuan was very much in line with the lyrics.

A showdown, a mission within a mission.

Everyone had their own thoughts and purposes.

Life is about having multiple experiences. I want sweet romance, I want to release my pure desires, and I also want to challenge myself with difficult situations.

The purpose of life is to experience all possibilities; only then can one say that life has been worthwhile.

It would be too boring to spend all your time making money.

"Suddenly getting serious?"

Liang Can looked at Jiang Yuan with a half-smile: "I'm so scared."

Leaning close to Jiang Yuan, Liang Can whispered in her ear, "If I really fall in love, won't you be doomed?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Liang Can, and for some reason, a layer of fine goosebumps rose on her body.

The car travels at a steady speed. On the elevated roads of Hangzhou at night, there will be long lines of returning vehicles, slowly moving in the opposite lane.

"These are all employees who just got off work at Ali's place." Liang Can raised his hand to check the time and smiled, "They're getting off work pretty early today."

The ambiguous topic ended, and Jiang Yuan looked out the window, saying softly, "It's possible that the preparations for Singles' Day are already finished. We just have to wait for that day, and I estimate that everyone will have to work through the night."

"I remember you invested in two online stores?"

"Yes, but the revenue is just average. The main problem is that the return rate is too high. It's a common problem in the women's clothing industry. If two or three out of ten items are confirmed as paid upon delivery, that's considered a high rate."

Liang Can: "Women's money is not easy to earn."

"Yes."

The Maybach arrived at its destination, a very luxurious wine tasting club, which operates on a members-only basis.

When the store opened, the owner invited many online celebrities to check in, including high-profile influencers like Jiang Yuan, and even gave Jiang Yuan a membership card.

Hiring those Korean semi-permanent makeup services would seem a bit low-class.

As Liang Can entered the wine club, a female business manager in a suit and skirt greeted him. Upon seeing Liang Can, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly smiled and said, "Greetings, distinguished guests. Please follow me."

The booths in the lobby were about 60% full, which means the business is pretty good.

This wine club is located in a high-rise building, and their special private rooms are situated on spacious balconies overlooking the city's night view.

The temperature on early autumn nights is just right, perfect for outdoor activities.

The business manager even thoughtfully brought Jiang Yuan a thin blanket to cover her thighs.

"Mr. Liang, this is a bottle of red wine specially opened for you by our boss. It has no brand name; it's wine he brewed himself at his farm."

The amber-colored liquid in the vessel has a nice luster.

Liang Can has almost gotten used to it now. When he enters high-end places, he is occasionally recognized and he accepts the polite greetings.

Just like Zhao Benshan, whenever he eats at any restaurant in Northeast China, people will rush to pay the bill.

This is personal influence.

"Please thank your boss for me." Liang Can nodded in thanks.

"I will certainly convey your message. Please enjoy your meal." The business manager bowed slightly and turned to leave the balcony.

Liang Can dismissed his assistant and driver outside.

Since the driver couldn't drink, Liang Can tossed him a membership card for a foot massage parlor and told him to go get a foot massage and wait for a call to pick him up.

If Liang Can doesn't need a driver to pick him up, he will let her know in advance.

As for the assistant, go sit at the bar; there are handsome guys in suits talking about love over there.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, Liang Can and Jiang Yuan sat on a soft and spacious sofa. The dim lighting in the room allowed them to see the bright lights and bustling city outside more clearly.

Liang Can picked up his wine glass and took a sip; he didn't really know much about wine.

For him, alcohol was merely a tool to achieve his goals.

Jiang Yuan was wrapped in a blanket, her eyes slightly tinged with intoxication, whether it was feigned or genuine, it was hard to tell.

You can never tell how much truth and how much falsehood a drunkard's ramblings contain.

But drunken words always have more emotional value than words spoken when sober.

"What will my future be like?" Jiang Yuan sighed softly.

Liang Can looked at Jiang Yuan and said with a smile, "What kind of thing do you hope for?"

"I don't know, but I hope it will be better than it is now, even better."

"You have quite a lot of ambition."

"Yes, I'm terrified of being poor."

Liang Can chuckled and said, "Many people suddenly become rich, especially young people who become rich through the internet. They always have the air of nouveau riche. No matter how exquisite their lives are, they can't hide the inferiority complex in their bones. So they will do everything they can to make people feel that they deserve their current wealth and status."

"But you don't give off that uncomfortable feeling."

"It's as if you were born with these qualities."

Jiang Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly and guessed, "Perhaps because I've been to school?"

“That certainly accounts for a large part of the reason.” After a pause, Liang Can continued, “But I don’t think it’s the main factor. There are countless cases of people who used education to get rich and then committed evil.”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to praise me, just do so. You don't need to beat around the bush."

Liang Can clicked his tongue: "Oh, you found out."

The two slowly moved closer together.

All the sparks that fly from dry wood to ignite a flame, originating from a fleeting moment when eyes meet.

Jiang Yuan's voice became somewhat heavy: "You still haven't told me whether you mind or not."

"Want to hear the truth? I admire you."

Liang Can said calmly, "Of course everyone prefers those who are tenacious, independent, and forever pure and noble, but such people simply do not exist at the bottom. Even if they do, it's because they have been protected by powerful people from an early age."

"Your misfortune lies in the fact that you have never been protected by a powerful person, or rather, the powerful person who wants to protect you is not someone you like."

Sometimes Jiang Yuan was a little afraid of Liang Can. Even though they had only known each other for a little over a year, why did it feel like Liang Can had known her for a long time?

Liang Can always see through Jiang Yuan's thoughts.

Her actions would also be anticipated by Liang Can.

It's like, it's like we've fought countless times.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan sighed softly, "You're right, so am I trying to have it both ways?"

"Some do, but it's understandable. Who doesn't want to live a good, comfortable life?" Liang Can said, adding that this is normal.

Jiang Yuan clenched her hands, deeply moved.

Liang Can looked at Jiang Yuan and suddenly chuckled, "There's something I haven't told you yet."

"What?" Jiang Yuan's eyes darted around.

Liang Can reached out and put his arm around Jiang Yuan's slender waist, then breathed into her earlobe: "My dad is also a bureau chief."

Their lips, like magnets drawn to each other, met smoothly after the angle was adjusted.

Liang Can felt that there were two wonderful aspects to kissing. The first, of course, was the mutual contact of mouth and teeth.

Secondly, during this process, the two of them breathed heavily or barely.

The rapid, rhythmic breathing that kept ringing in my ears was really addictive.

Therefore, Liang Can has always emphasized that no matter how inspiring a 20-year-old girl is, she is still a 20-year-old girl.

Her heart was still beating vividly.

Even Jiang Yuan.

So Jiang Yuan was very intoxicated and completely absorbed.

Compared to gaining Liang Can's love, she naturally wanted Liang Can's resource support even more.

However, if she could experience for a moment how gentle Liang Can is to women while receiving resource support, Jiang Yuan would be willing to make this losing proposition.

Who doesn't like to be loved?

Moreover, kissing is a complex process.

Kissing is just one of the behaviors.

If kissing is fundamental, then hand gestures are not.

The blanket covering Jiang Yuan rose up, then flattened, and then the raised part moved to another place.

Those were Liang Can's hands.

Beneath her skirt, Liang Can gently touched the material of her undergarments and sensed something was amiss.

My hands can never be wrong.

It's not that I wasn't wearing anything! Whoever said I wasn't wearing anything, drag them out and give them eighty strokes of the cane!

Jiang Yuan's inner layer is made of a very simple and rustic material.

Well, logically speaking, a mature and beautiful girl like Jiang Yuan should have a very high eye for choosing innerwear, and would probably lean towards Dr. Fufu's aesthetic.

Our Fufu's eye for choosing lingerie has almost made Liang Can completely admire her.

Something's not right; Jiang Yuan's inner layer looks off.

"You wait."

Liang Can said something to Jiang Yuan, then lifted the blanket and crawled inside.

Jiang Yuan spread her legs apart, her posture somewhat resembling that of a pregnant woman about to give birth.

A moment later, Liang Can, who had tucked his head into the blanket, poked his head out and looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion: "What's going on? Why are they bear panties?"

Liang Can was certain he hadn't misread it.

It's a bear-themed pair of panties, very cute.

But this shouldn't be happening to Jiang Yuan. Her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, and Jiang Yuan turned her head away, biting her lower lip lightly, and said, "How am I supposed to explain this to you? Can't I wear it?"

"Yes, it's possible, that's it."

"Should I not be dressed so cutely?"

That's not entirely true; it just came as Liang Can's surprise.

I thought it would be a sexy style with some lace.

Liang Can joked, "There's no such thing as 'should' or 'shouldn't.' Everyone has a child inside them."

Well, it's quite a contrast.

Liang Can picked up his glass of red wine, took a sip, glanced at Jiang Yuan, chuckled softly, and then downed the rest in one gulp.

Jiang Yuan pressed her hands firmly against both sides of the blanket, seemingly not intending to let Liang Can observe the bear up close any further.

Her current state is somewhat like the shyness that comes after being caught in an awkward situation.

It's so beautiful and tempting, it makes your mouth water.

"That's enough for today. Go back and get some rest."

Liang Can stood up and said to Jiang Yuan, "I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I have to go back to sleep."

Jiang Yuan nodded and stood up.

After Jiang Yuan stood up, Liang Canlai revealed his wicked face: "I'll touch you a little more before I leave."

"Ok?"

Before Jiang Yuan could react, she was already enveloped in Liang Can's shadow.

After going downstairs, Liang Can got into his Maybach and left immediately.

Jiang Yuan's steps were unsteady, and she was supported by her assistant.

After watching Liang Can leave, the assistant asked with concern, "Sister Yuan Yuan, are you alright?"

Jiang Yuan steadied herself, pulled her arm out of her assistant's arms, and shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go home. It's too late today, you can stay at my place too."

The assistant nodded. She was usually responsible for filming videos for Jiang Yuan and occasionally acted as a photographer. She often worked until late at night, and in such cases, she would stay overnight at Jiang Yuan's house.

Jiang Yuan currently rents a 180-square-meter four-bedroom apartment with many vacant rooms.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's eyes gradually clearing, the assistant asked in surprise, "Sister Yuan Yuan, you haven't had too much to drink?"

"I didn't drink that much to begin with," Jiang Yuan said, tucking her long hair behind her ear. "But I'm not completely unaffected. If I had two more glasses of red wine, I would have really gotten drunk."

The assistant leaned close to Jiang Yuan and asked in a low voice, "Did President Liang touch you inappropriately just now?"

"What do you think?"

"I think he definitely will, because the way he looks at you is so aggressive."

At this point, the assistant suddenly seemed disappointed: "Yuan Yuan, I hope you like Liang Can. You two look like a perfect match, a powerful combination."

"It's almost too late."

Jiang Yuan, carrying her bag, sighed softly for some reason, not intending to say anything more.

After returning home by car, Jiang Yuan took a shower. When she came out, her assistant was putting away her clothes and carrying a basket to the laundry room.

"Xiao Zhong, stop tidying up and get some rest. I'll wash myself tomorrow," Jiang Yuan said as she sat down on the sofa.

"It's okay, I just washed it off."

Xiao Zhong was already squatting in front of the washing machine, stuffing clothes inside.

As they walked out of the laundry room, Xiao Zhong suddenly remembered something and asked, "Yuan Yuan, please don't wear a bear-patterned inner layer next time. I was wondering why you suddenly started wearing such a childish inner layer."

Jiang Yuan lifted her long legs and pressed them under her buttocks, smiling as she said, "What's wrong? Can't I try a cute style once in a while?"

"You probably haven't tried this style before, which is why I'm surprised."

"I did that when I was little." After saying that, Jiang Yuan thought to herself, there's a reason why I'm wearing this today.

The effect is great, but I wonder if Liang Can has noticed my little scheme.

It's okay if they notice; for a relationship like theirs, whether or not they use any tricks is irrelevant.

The important thing is that she's willing to put her heart into me.

The back seat of the Maybach.

Liang Can, who had been resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and turned his head to look out the window.

His face was reflected in the car window, and at this moment, the corners of Liang Can's mouth were slowly turning up, revealing a playful smile.

"That's a good move, that's really good. It perfectly captures the feeling of someone who has experienced many hardships, is deep in thought, but still has a little girl living in their heart."

The prop was just a cute inner layer.

The cost is extremely low, and the effect is absolutely amazing.

Those with less experience would probably have to open their hearts to Jiang Yuan.

Therefore, Liang Can always emphasized that Jiang Yuan was destined for great things.

Close his eyes again, Liang Can murmured to himself, "I'm already looking forward to our next meeting. I wonder what tricks she'll come up with this time."

Thinking of this, Liang Can took out his phone and called Zheng Ting.

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Ting's voice sounded strange: "Hello, Mr. Liang?"

Liang Can remained calm and got straight to the point: "I was meeting with Jiang Yuan today, and when I came out of the restaurant, one of her fans saw me. I'm having a PR company handle this so the news doesn't get any more outrageous."

"Understood, I'll contact them right now," Zheng Ting replied immediately.

Liang Can crossed his legs and teased, "Hey Director Zheng, where are you? What are you doing?"

Zheng Ting's voice became noticeably flustered, and he answered honestly, "Yes, junior, I'm doing it."

"Is it Huanhuan again?"

"Yes, she insisted, saying she considers me a good friend and that if I ever start dating, she will never bother me."

Liang Can laughed and cursed, "I figured it out a long time ago. Do your job well and don't delay tomorrow's important business."

"receive."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ting got to work as Liang Can had instructed.

next day
Liang Can woke up in his office cubicle, washed up, and then went downstairs to the restaurant for breakfast.

Although it was still early, quite a few employees were already queuing up to buy food. Judging from their spirits, they must have just finished working overtime and spent the night on the company's cots.

"Sigh, everyone suffers, and my life isn't easy either," Liang Can muttered.

After buying a bowl of rice noodles and a crispy beef patty, Liang Can began to enjoy his meal with great relish.

"Hello, Mr. Liang!" A passing employee greeted Liang Can.

"Hello, thank you for your hard work," Liang Can replied with a smile.

After saying hello, Liang Can continued eating his rice noodles.

Several employees passed by, greeting Liang Can with smiles; "Hello, General Manager Liang!"

"Well, hello."

Why is this guy greeting me so enthusiastically? Doesn't he have any self-awareness?

What made Liang Can feel something was wrong was that during breakfast, too many employees came to greet him; there weren't usually this many people.

"President Liang, President Liang~"

At this moment, Zhang Guo, carrying a bag, skipped over to Liang Can's side, took out a sandwich from his bag, and started eating.

Liang Can had already finished breakfast and picked up a yogurt to slurp it up: "I'll just have a sandwich for breakfast. Be careful not to faint from low blood sugar during the meeting. Today's meeting won't end until lunchtime."

"Oh dear, I went to eat hot pot with my best friend yesterday and ate five plates of meat by myself. My stomach is still bulging."

Zhang Guo smiled brightly at Liang Can, then fanned his eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Liang Can said warily, "If you're here to ask me for a raise, I advise you to shut up right now."

"No, I just got a raise last year, how could I be so ungrateful?"

"Then why are you laughing so smugly?"

Zhang Guo looked around and leaned closer to Liang Can: "President Liang, were you on a date with a blogger from the Qingning APP yesterday, the one who was the champion of Rocket Girls before?"

Damn it, it still couldn't be suppressed.

Liang Can raised an eyebrow: "It wasn't a date, it was a business dinner. She invited me to dinner to discuss the future of the platform's live-streaming e-commerce business."

"That's right."

Why do you look so down?

"I thought I'd get some gossip, since everyone thought you were involved with the two beautiful female CEOs, Canyi and Yingcan. But now there's another big internet celebrity involved."

Liang Can rolled her eyes, picked up her plate, and left.

Kicking open Zheng Ting's office door, Liang Can pointed at his nose and cursed, "Damn it, Huanhuan was pregnant yesterday! I told you to hire a PR company to suppress the trending topics, what were you doing? How come the whole company knows I had a late-night date with a platform influencer?"

Zheng Ting hurriedly got up and was about to walk quickly to Liang Can when his legs suddenly went weak and he knelt down.

Liang Can: '.'

After a moment of silence, Liang Can bent down to help Zheng Ting up, complaining, "Why did you do this? Why did you kneel down?"

Zheng Ting: "I didn't control myself last night, I did too much, and my legs are weak."

Liang Can immediately started cursing.

"President Liang, President Liang, please listen to me first!"

Zheng Ting hurriedly said, "After I received your call, I immediately contacted the public relations company. All the major mainstream platforms suppressed the trending topics. Since there wasn't much attention to begin with, the matter should have been resolved."

"So where exactly did the problem lie?"

"That fan posted the group photo on the Media Academy's forum, which caught the PR company off guard."

Why didn't you report it to me then?

Zheng Ting said awkwardly, "I figured you must have been having a deep conversation with Jiang Yuan at the time, so I was too embarrassed to report it, hehe."

I'll fuck your mother's head.
