Rebirth: Starting with Capturing the Goddess Mentor

Chapter 347 Jiang Zhixin Returns to China for Blind Dates

Time slips away like sand through our fingers, two months gone by silently.

September 8rd arrived in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, in Zurich, Switzerland, on the other side of the ocean, due to the time difference, it was still the evening of August 26th.

Inside a suite at a luxury hotel.

Jiang Zhixin and Bai Wei were chatting while leaning against the headboard.

"Xinxin, are we going back to China tomorrow?" Bai Wei asked.

"Yes."

Jiang Zhixin nodded. "The plane tickets are all booked."

"Ah~"

Bai Wei sighed, "These past two months have felt like a dream, gone in a flash. I've gotten used to this lavish lifestyle, I wonder if I can adapt to going back to school and working like a slave?"

Jiang Zhixin smiled and said, "Then you can look forward to our coffee shop becoming bigger and stronger soon, so that we can travel every year."

"Come on! We can do it!"

Bai Wei confidently cheered herself up, "Okay, let's go to sleep. We have to catch a flight early tomorrow morning."

"OK."

Jiang Zhixin turned off the bedside lamp, and the soft, warm light instantly went out.

Only a few faint streaks of light from the Zurich city lights outside the window pierced through the gaps in the heavy curtains.

However, the darkness did not immediately induce sleep.

Bai Wei, who was beside her, turned over in the soft quilt, facing Jiang Zhixin, and remained silent for a moment.

Only the soft breathing of the two remained in the air.

Finally, Bai Wei's voice softly rang out in the darkness:

“Xinxin…”

"Ok?"

"Do you... still love Chen Yan?"

Jiang Zhixin did not answer immediately; her gaze seemed to pierce through the thick darkness and reach a distant corner.

Time flowed slowly in the silence, stretching the few seconds of silence into an infinitely long period.

"Can't forget."

Jiang Zhixin finally spoke, her voice soft and carrying an almost sighing sincerity.

Yes, I can't forget it.

Wasn't the flight I deliberately chose to go back before the 28th just so that I could be closer to him on that special day?

Even if it's just quietly breathing the same air in the same city...

This thought could not be hidden from Bai Wei, who was with him day and night.

Bai Wei took a silent breath in the darkness, her eyes darting around, and a bold idea instantly formed, tinged with a mischievous excitement.

She leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "Tsk, I knew it! This ambiguous dragging on isn't a solution for you two. It's driving me crazy! Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, you'll only end up drowning!"

Jiang Zhixin turned her head, and although she couldn't see Bai Wei's expression, she could sense the eagerness in her tone: "Then tell me... what can we do? He hasn't shown any attitude after all this time..."

His tone was full of helplessness.

"There is a way... of course!"

Bai Wei said smugly, "I'll give you a brilliant idea! It'll definitely make him restless!"

"What kind of amazing trick is this?" Jiang Zhixin's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

"Blind date!"

Bai Wei uttered those two words decisively, then excitedly explained, "I'll upload your information to those high-end, reliable dating websites! With your looks and your charisma, my god, I can imagine how crazy the back-end system will be! There will definitely be a long line of high-quality young men eager to meet you!"

Jiang Zhixin was a little confused: "Blind date? This... is too abstract, isn't it?"

"Hey, let me finish!"

Bai Wei interrupted her, speaking rapidly, "The point isn't that we're actually sending you on blind dates! We're 'fishing'! We carefully select three or four 'blind date candidates' who are exceptionally good and presentable, and arrange one or two 'high-end' coffee shop meetings."

"Then what……"

She deliberately dragged out her words, keeping everyone in suspense, "I 'accidentally' let this news reach Chen Yan's ears!"

"Think about it, Xinxin, if he knew this news... what would his expression be? What would he feel?"

Bai Wei's description was so vivid that Jiang Zhixin could almost imagine Chen Yan's surprise, anger, and even... a trace of panic in the darkness.
This idea stirred a ripple in her long-dormant heart.

Using other people's attention to provoke him? That's a tactic... though a bit childish, and even a little dishonorable.

But what if... what if this could actually break the deadlock?
"Is this... okay?"

Jiang Zhixin's voice was filled with hesitation and uncertainty, "I feel... a little..."

"Something? Something bad?"

Bai Wei chuckled, "To deal with a scumbag like Chen Yan, you can't just boil him in lukewarm water; you have to throw in some strong stuff! This is called the 'crisis-catalyzing method'! Let him know that our Jiang Zhixin isn't some pitiful little thing who can't live without him; she's in high demand! If he keeps acting so unclearly, he might really lose his wife to someone else! Let's see how anxious he'll be then!"

Bai Wei became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she could already see the dawn of victory: "How about it? Dare to give it a try? Let's take a gamble! The worst outcome is that he continues to play dead, then we won't lose anything. What if... I mean, what if he gets anxious and gets jealous, then wouldn't everyone be happy?"

A brief silence fell over the room once again.

The city lights and shadows outside the window silently shifted on the curtains.

After a long while, Jiang Zhixin's low, somewhat reckless voice came from the darkness, as light as a feather falling: "Then... how about we give it a try?"

"Ha ha!"

Upon hearing that there was a chance, Bai Wei was overjoyed. She patted her chest vigorously in the darkness (though she ended up patting the blanket), "Don't worry, leave everything to me. Just wait and see the show!"

…………

…………

At that moment, it was exactly 9 a.m. on the other side of the ocean on the 27th.

Qiantangyin Building, owned by Boss Technology Company.

The young married woman, Xi Yingying, carrying a bag of breakfast, knocked on the door of the president's office early in the morning.

Today, she was wearing a simple brown collared shirt, paired with a black pencil skirt, and high heels that glided gracefully toward Chen Yan on the soft carpet.

"Boss, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? I brought you soy milk, fried dough sticks, and pan-fried buns."

"You've come at the perfect time; I was just about to order breakfast."

Chen Yan said with a smile.

Xi Yingying swayed her hips as she walked to Chen Yan's boss chair and then sat down. Her soft, plump buttocks landed directly on Chen Yan's lap.

Xi Yingying looked at Chen Yan, her eyes filled with seductive charm:
"Boss, someone brought you some food, could you give me something to eat too?"

"You haven't come to see me in so long..."

Chen Yan thought about it and it seemed to be true.

For the past two months, he has spent his nights either at Ruan Yusang's house or Jiang Muyun's house, and has indeed neglected this young woman.

After all, Xi Yingying is already 31 years old, which is an age when she has a lot of needs, so it is only natural for her to make such a request.

"Yeah, no problem."

Chen Yan nodded with a smile.

"Really?"

Xi Yingying beamed and couldn't resist giving Chen Yan a peck on the lips. "Thank you, boss!"

After saying that, she slowly squatted down and knelt down.

……

Chen Yan was happily eating pan-fried buns and drinking soy milk on his desk, occasionally slurping up a piece of fried dough stick.

Xi Yingying was in the same situation, except that she didn't have any pan-fried buns to eat.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Yanxuan finished the breakfast that Xi Yingying had brought him and let out a satisfied burp.

Then, he looked down.

Xi Yingying was still diligently studying a foreign language, but she was stammering and it was unclear which language she was learning.

"stand up."

Chen Yan said calmly.

Xi Yingying immediately stopped what she was doing, raised her eyes and gave Chen Yan a charming look.

Then he stood up, braced himself on the table with his hands, and stuck his butt out slightly.

This 31-year-old woman is indeed very sensible!
…………

Another hour passed.

Xi Yingying came out of the bathroom in the president's office lounge after taking a shower.

Her face still had a faint flush.

"Boss, happy birthday in advance! I'm worried there will be too many people tomorrow and I won't have a chance to tell you in person, so I'm wishing you a happy birthday in advance!"

"Wishing the boss to grow more and more handsome! And to last longer and longer!"

Chen Yan chuckled and pulled her into his arms, giving the young woman's soft buttocks a firm squeeze with his large hand: "Thank you, Yingying. I'll give you a raise next month."

"what?"

Xi Yingying looked flattered and shook her head, saying, "No need, boss. My salary is already very high. I'm very satisfied."

"Besides, I can earn a monthly salary of 4 yuan just by sitting around all day without doing anything. If the salary keeps going up, I won't feel secure taking this money..."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, then said domineeringly, "No, you can have it if I give it to you!"

Xi Yingying pursed her lips helplessly, forced to accept the fact that her salary had increased.

Reality is cruel. Some people work 14 hours a day and are often called in to work overtime on their days off, but their salary only increases by 1000 a year.

Some people with connections sit at their desks playing on their phones all day, not doing their jobs, but they still get more performance bonuses than anyone else at the end of the month.

There has never been any fairness in this world; choices are always more important than effort.

…………

11:59pm.

In Qianchao Bay Apartments, the lights in the 200-square-meter flat are deliberately dimmed to create a warm and private atmosphere.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the dazzling night view of the Qiantang River is reflected on the river surface, creating a beautiful interplay with the flickering candlelight inside.

On the dining table in the center of the living room, a meticulously crafted multi-tiered birthday cake occupies the absolute center position.

The pure white cream is decorated with intricate and elegant chocolate patterns, and the words "Happy Birthday" are written on top in deep red jam.

At this moment, 20 slender candles were stuck on the cake, their flickering flames casting a warm glow that made the two stunningly beautiful faces around the table appear even more ethereal and captivating.

Jiang Muyun and Ruan Yusang, two stunningly beautiful girls with very different styles, were holding their breath and staring intently at the wall clock—the second hand was slowly moving toward "12".

Jiang Muyun wore a beige silk loungewear set, her long hair loosely tied up, revealing her swan-like elegant neck, and her cool eyebrows and eyes were softened by the candlelight.

Meanwhile, Ruan Yusang wore a fiery burgundy halter nightgown that accentuated her breathtaking curves.

Chen Yan was surrounded by them at the head of the table, looking at the 20 flickering candles in front of him, feeling the different fragrances emanating from the two beauties beside him and their expectant gazes, quietly waiting for 12 o'clock to arrive.

"Ten, nine, eight..." Ruan Yusang began counting down in her unique Mandarin broadcasting voice.

Jiang Muyun also softly recited, "Seven, six, five..."

Their voices gradually synchronized, and their eyes were fixed on the second hand that was about to reach zero: "Four, three, two, one!"

The instant the second hand precisely crossed "12"—

"Happy birthday, honey!!!"

Two clear, melodious, and joyful blessings rang out simultaneously, breaking the silence of the room.

"Make a wish! Make a wish!"

The two beautiful girls urged.

Chen Yan smiled and closed his eyes, then began to make a wish.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a smile on his face, and blew a breath toward the 20 tiny flames.

"call--"

The candlelight went out instantly, leaving only wisps of smoke rising in the air.

The main light in the living room was turned on with a "snap" by Ruan Yusang, instantly making it as bright as day.

"Honey, what did you wish for?" Ruan Yusang asked Chen Yan.

Jiang Muyun also looked at him with curiosity.

"My wish is..."

Chen Yan paused mysteriously for a moment, then opened his arms and pulled the two women into his embrace, whispering, "Tonight, we can sleep in the same bed together, just like last time."
