Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 265 Feeding the Queen

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The first workday after the holiday saw the arrival of the evening rush hour.

Jiang Zhixin walked out of the teaching building, wearing white sneakers, and went to her Audi A4. She took out the key from her bag and pressed the unlock button.

The house Chen Yan bought for her is only 3 kilometers away from the school, a ten-minute drive away.

After parking her car in the underground garage, Jiang Zhixin went straight into the elevator.

The elevator numbers jumped from the 1st floor to the 8th floor. After the fingerprint lock beeped and unlocked, she walked into the house with a sense of impending doom, only to find that three dishes and a soup were already laid out on the dining table, with the winter melon and clam soup in the celadon bowl still steaming.

Chen Yan, wearing an apron, poked her head out of the kitchen and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? You're back?"

Jiang Zhixin subconsciously took a step back. "Yes, yes."

"hey-hey."

Chen Yan chuckled mischievously and approached Jiang Zhixin step by step, his eyes looking like those of a big bad wolf eyeing a little white rabbit.

Having already anticipated what was about to happen, Jiang Zhixin simply lay down and said in a conciliatory tone, "You have to let me eat first, right?"

"no problem."

Chen Yan ripped off the scarf and carried her from the entrance to the dining table. "You eat yours, I'll eat mine."

"Ok?"

Jiang Zhixin opened her beautiful eyes wide, unable to understand the sentence for a moment.

What do you mean by "you eat yours, I eat mine"?
……

At this moment, Jiang Zhixin had her back to Chen Yan, her hands resting on the dining table, where a fragrant meal of three dishes and a soup was laid out in front of her, within easy reach.

Chen Yan's cooking skills have always been excellent, and Jiang Zhixin has always loved eating his dishes.

She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks on the table, take a piece of braised pork, and put it in her mouth.

Melts in your mouth, the fatty yet not greasy pork skin is coated in an amber sauce that spreads between your teeth. The rich sweetness and the spicy aroma of star anise and cinnamon intertwine, instantly engulfing your taste buds in a culinary feast.

"good to eat!"

Jiang Zhixin couldn't resist picking up another piece, but just as she raised her chopsticks halfway up, she suddenly felt a chill on her bottom.
Turning her head, she found that Chen Yan had pulled her jeans up to her knees.

"Hehe, you keep eating."

Chen Yan stood up with a smile.

Jiang Zhixin's face flushed red instantly; she seemed to understand what Chen Yan meant by those words!

"Not here..." Jiang Zhixin pleaded.

"I want it!"

After the man finished speaking, he ruthlessly pulled off the white lace panties that covered Jiang Zhixin's shapely buttocks.

…………

An hour later, Chen Yan finished eating, but Jiang Zhixin barely touched her chopsticks.

When Chen Yan left satisfied and sat down in his dining chair, ready to enjoy his second dinner to replenish his energy, Jiang Zhixin lost her balance and knelt down.

Her delicate knees slammed heavily against the hard tiles, causing her to gasp in pain.

"Oh dear, how could you be so careless?"

As Chen Yan spoke, he stuffed large mouthfuls of the already cold food into his mouth.

Jiang Zhixin stared at him resentfully, without saying a word.

Don't you have any idea why I fell?

"hey-hey."

Seeing this, Chen Yan chuckled awkwardly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and quickly helped Jiang Zhixin up, even thoughtfully pulling up her jeans.

"Do you want me to feed you?"

Chen Yan let her sit on his lap, put his arm around Jiang Zhixin's slender waist, and said with concern.

Jiang Zhixin pointed to the dishes on the table, a little disgusted: "They're all cold."

"Okay then, I'll heat it up again for you."

He then told Jiang Zhixin to get up, and then took the dishes to the steam oven to heat them up himself.

While the food was heating up, Chen Yan didn't stop working. He grabbed a mop from the balcony and cleaned up the stains on the tiles.

Ah~ What a virtuous and good husband!

Five minutes later, the food was heated up.

Chen Yan let Jiang Zhixin sit on his lap again and fed her food bite by bite.

Jiang Zhixin naturally didn't refuse and enjoyed the service as if it were perfectly normal.

After all, he had just eaten, so it was only right for him to feed himself now.

She leaned back slightly, resting against Chen Yan's broad, warm chest, like a lazy cat that had found its most comfortable nest.

The match had left her feeling weak all over, but now, being held in this embrace and fed hot food bite by bite, her exhaustion was replaced by a sweet sense of satisfaction.

Chen Yan's movements were very meticulous. He picked up a piece of stir-fried greens that was now glossy and fragrant, blew on it, and then brought it to her mouth.

"Open your mouth." His voice was hoarse from the competition, yet unusually gentle.

Jiang Zhixin obediently opened her mouth, and the sweetness of the greens mixed with the aroma of garlic filled her mouth.

She squinted her eyes contentedly and mumbled an "Mmm".

Looking at her kitten-like satisfied expression, Chen Yan's heart melted completely.

For a moment, I really thought about 'choosing one person to grow old with'!
But then I thought about it again and realized it wasn't appropriate.

You should be a person of integrity and loyalty. These girls have given you everything, so you should be responsible for them to the end, right?

Otherwise, what's the difference between him and those scumbag men who abandon their wives and children?
Thinking this way, Chen Yan felt much less guilty.

He picked up another piece of braised pork and fed it to Jiang Zhixin:
"Here, your favorite fatty pork skin."

Jiang Zhixin bit down without hesitation, and the melt-in-your-mouth gelatinous texture made her feel so comfortable that her toes curled up on Chen Yan's leg.

She enjoyed the meticulous 'service' so much that she didn't even bother to raise her hand, only using her eyes to indicate what she wanted to eat next.

"Does it still hurt?"

Chen Yan rested his chin on the top of her head and said in a muffled voice.

Jiang Zhixin followed his gaze and looked down at her knees. Underneath her jeans, the dull ache was still there.

She pouted, complaining with a touch of coquettishness, "What do you think? It's all your fault! You can't even stand up straight anymore."

Despite saying that, there was no real anger in her tone; instead, it sounded more like she was being coquettish.

"My mistake, my mistake." Chen Yan immediately admitted his mistake with utmost sincerity. He picked up a piece of tender fish and carefully removed the bones. "Here, have some fish to nourish yourself. You've worked hard, baby."

Jiang Zhixin opened her mouth and ate the fish, enjoying Chef Chen's exclusive service with a clear conscience, occasionally giving instructions:
"Um, I'll have tofu too."

"One more sip of soup."

Chen Yan complied with all of Chen Yan's orders. After being satisfied, the man was like a docile little puppy, readily obeying the queen's commands.

The meal was eaten slowly, and Chen Yan only put down his chopsticks when Jiang Zhixin finally shook her head to indicate that she could no longer eat.

"full?"

"Mmm." Jiang Zhixin responded vaguely, found a more comfortable position in his arms, closed her eyes, and almost fell asleep.

After all that commotion and being fed so much, drowsiness is overwhelming me.

Hey! Don't fall asleep!

Chen Yan became anxious.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhixin asked, squinting her eyes.

"I've fed you, now it's your turn to feed me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhixin's drowsy mind instantly became much more alert.

"What should I feed you?"

Jiang Zhixin pretended to be stupid and twisted her body, trying to get off his lap. "Didn't you already eat? You ate two meals!"

She glanced meaningfully at the dining table.

“We’ve eaten,” Chen Yan said, his arms encircling her waist like iron hoops, giving her no chance to escape, while his other hand restlessly caressed her waist. “But I haven’t replenished my ‘spiritual food’ yet.”

The man's lips were almost touching her earlobe, his voice low and seductive, "Have you forgotten what you promised me this afternoon? Trying to renege on your promise?"

Jiang Zhixin's cheeks flushed instantly, and her ears burned.

"Who reneges on their debt!"

She muttered softly, with a hint of coquettishness, "My...my knees still hurt. They're all bruised from the fall. Don't you care at all?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan paused for a moment, but was immediately overwhelmed by an even stronger desire.

He suddenly stood up, holding her in his arms.

"Ah!" Jiang Zhixin exclaimed softly, instinctively hugging his neck tightly.

Chen Yan carried her steadily to the living room sofa and gently put her down.

Jiang Zhixin sank into the soft down sofa.

Chen Yan knelt on one knee on the carpet in front of the sofa and reached out to unbutton her jeans.

"Hmm, let's take a shower first," Jiang Zhixin pleaded, pressing his hand down.

"Wash it later."

A wicked smile curled at the corner of the man's lips as he skillfully pulled down her jeans without stopping.

Her fair and slender legs were exposed to the air, with a small, noticeable red mark on her knee, faintly showing a bluish-purple tinge.

Chen Yan's eyes darkened, and the next second, his warm kiss landed on the bruise on his knee.

"Well…"

The gentle kiss, like a feather brushing against me, was tingling and effectively relieved the dull pain.

However, this pity didn't last long, and it slowly moved upwards along her smooth leg line...

At this very moment, the hour hand on the wall points to 6 o'clock, while the minute hand is pointing exactly to—

At 6:45, it was completely dark outside the window.

...............

I don't know how much time passed, until the last bit of strength was drained away.

Jiang Zhixin slumped against Chen Yan's sweat-dampened chest, too exhausted to even move a finger.

Chen Yan held her tightly, his chin resting on the top of her head, and let out a satisfied sigh, like a beast that had finally been satiated.

His voice was thick with nasal tones and languid with satisfaction. "Teacher Jiang did a good job and deserves praise."

Damn it, you called me Teacher Jiang again!

Jiang Zhixin didn't even have the strength to roll her eyes. She could only snuggle against him, find a comfortable position, and close her eyes completely.

Only one thought remained in my mind: This meal... was really exhausting!

But it seems... it's not a complete loss?
…………

The following day, Jiang Zhixin took a day off.

Chen Yan didn't need to ask for leave; he had special permission from the dean at school to not attend classes.
As for the company, he is the big boss himself, so who else can he ask for leave from?

The two of them were busy until 3 a.m. yesterday before they went to sleep, and they planned to sleep until noon.

However, around 10 a.m., a sudden phone call shattered the tranquility of the bedroom, pulling Chen Yan back from the brink of deep sleep.

"Um……"

Chen Yan frowned, his eyes still closed, as he fumbled for his vibrating phone on the bedside table, guided by his sense of touch.

His movements inevitably startled Jiang Zhixin, who was fast asleep in his arms.

Jiang Zhixin let out a soft moan of dissatisfaction, like a cat whose sweet dreams had been disturbed. She frowned her delicate brows and subconsciously buried her face deeper into his warm neck.

Chen Yan finally reached for his phone, barely opening one eye. The name "Gao Yang" was flashing on the screen.

—She's the president's assistant who just joined the company yesterday.

He tried to move as quietly as possible, carefully pulling himself away from Jiang Zhixin's embrace, and pressed the answer button: "Hello?"

On the other end of the phone, Gao Yang's voice was clear and calm, but his speech was a bit faster than usual: "President Chen, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. But the matter is quite urgent, and Xiaohongshu has replied."

Yes, the company Chen Yan asked him to visit yesterday, [Shanghai Xingjin Information Technology Co., Ltd.], is the parent company of Little Red Book.

Chen Yan's muddled mind instantly cleared up, his eyes sharpened, and his sleepiness vanished without a trace.

He glanced down at Jiang Zhixin, who seemed to be falling asleep again in his arms, and made sure she wasn't woken up before lowering his voice again: "Speak."

"They have agreed in principle to your request to acquire shares."

Gao Yang paused, his tone becoming somewhat serious, "However, the conditions they offered... are extremely high. According to my investigation, Xiaohongshu just completed a $2 million Series A funding round four months ago, and its total valuation is only $10 million."

"But now they're offering three times the price!"

"They want you to invest at a valuation of $3000 million, and their attitude is very firm: not a penny less."

Chen Yan listened quietly, his face expressionless.

After a while, he asked, "How many shares are they willing to give up?"

"At most 10%."

"Okay, I understand. I'll come over this afternoon."

After saying that, Chen Yan hung up the phone.

"Only 10%..."

Chen Yan repeated himself, his voice low and steady, revealing no emotion.

For him, a valuation of $3000 million is not high, and can even be considered extremely low.

At this time, Xiaohongshu only has a million users, but if history does not change, its active users (MAU) will exceed 3 million in 10 years, and its valuation will reach more than 1000 billion RMB.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the current 10% stake will be worth 100 billion in the future. After all, there will be many more rounds of financing, and with each round of financing, the shares held by the existing shareholders will be diluted a little.

Regardless, if he can acquire this 10% stake now, it will bring Chen Yan at least several hundred times the return on his investment in 10 years.
