The snow didn’t fall very much yesterday, and it stopped in the middle of the night.
When the sun rose in the morning, the thin layer of snow on the ground melted away.
The weather was fine today, and the villa had guests early in the morning. Qin Fenghang’s family of four were all neatly dressed and sitting in the living room, even though his wife and son came back in the middle of the night and hadn’t slept for two hours.
“Mr. Jiang, please.” Qin Fenghang smiled and poured tea for Jiang Chengzhou himself. His attentive appearance made the pair of children, who were arrogant and accustomed to relying on him, quite unaccustomed.
Jiang Chengzhou looked around, but did not find Qin Lang’s figure. He picked up the teacup and asked casually, “Did Jiang come too early without announcement in advance?”
“How could it be?” Qin Fenghang still smiled and glared at his son and daughter.
Jiang Chengzhou responded vaguely, and then said, “It’s still early, Xiao Lang hasn’t gotten up yet?”
Although the coat Qin Lang brought back yesterday belonged to Jiang Chengzhou, Qin Fenghang didn’t think that Jiang Chengzhou really came to see his friend’s son early this morning. But don’t forget, their group still has cooperation with Jiang Chengzhou, otherwise why did Jiang Chengzhou return to City B?
Therefore, though Jiang Chengzhou mentioned Qin Lang at this time, Qin Fenghang felt that Jiang Chengzhou directly ignoring his two children was a little shameful, but the performance of his two little things was really bad, so he didn’t say much.
He beckoned the housekeeper to wake up Qin Lang, but was interrupted by Jiang Chengzhou.
Jiang Chengzhou kept a faint smile on his face, which softened his usual fierceness. At first glance, he really looked like some kind-hearted person, “No, it’s a rare holiday, let him have a good rest.”
“Haha, yes.” Qin Fenghang laughed dryly.
The eldest son rolled his eyes at his flattering father, haha, Qin Lang can sleep, but he can’t? Why did he pull him up? The person wasn’t even introduced to him. Geez, who is this person!
Qin Fenghang’s wife attended a cocktail party some time ago, she also met Jiang Chengzhou. Seeing the scene was a little awkward, she asked Jiang Chengzhou: “Mr. Jiang, have you eaten breakfast yet? Auntie is almost done, Xiaolang still hasn’t got up, why don’t we have breakfast together?”
That’s right, have breakfast and talk about this new collaboration. Qin Fenghang and his wife looked at each other tacitly.
Jiang Chengzhou continued drinking tea and said slowly, “No, thank you.”
“…” The family feels a little embarrassed looking at each other. Jiang Chengzhou said no, even if they were hungry, they can’t just let Jiang Chengzhou watch their family eat breakfast, right?
Qin Fenghang didn’t dare to neglect Jiang Chengzhou, so he found a topic to chat with him, but Jiang Chengzhou always seemed to lack interest, which made the atmosphere awkward for a while.
Then, Qin Lang finally came downstairs.
Qin Lang was obviously stunned when he saw Jiang Chengzhou, “Uncle Jiang, good morning.”
The young man cleaned up very cleanly, he didn’t have the tired appearance of the two who were sitting on the sofa being pulled out of the bed ahead of time and listening to a long period of boring topics in the adult world, coupled with his clear and clean voice, Jiang Chengzhou finally laughed.
His subordinate saw his wink and handed over a few luxury bags that he had been carrying in his hand as soon as he entered Qin’s house to the butler.
“Xiao Lang, I forgot yesterday, Merry Christmas.” Jiang Chengzhou curved his peach eyes, restraining his usual dark and sharpness. A mature man has a unique charm. It is obviously just a simple smile, but it is like a huge psychedelic vortex, constantly attracting people.
Standing on the stairs, Qin Lang was stunned for a second. He looked at the gifts, and at the dark and smelly faces of his uncle. He smiled obediently, “Thank you, Uncle Jiang.”
Qin Fenghang’s family couldn’t hide their expressions even if they wanted to. They thought that what Jiang Chengzhou’s subordinates were carrying were ordinary greetings gifts, but they didn’t give it to them directly so they were embarrassed to ask for it.
As a result, he only came for one purpose, that is, to see Qin Lang. He didn’t take him as the head of the family at all. The cooperation chat is also casual and perfunctory, without giving any face.
Not to mention now that he heard Jiang Chengzhou invited Qin Lang out to have breakfast together, his face was burning with pain.
Eighteen years old, after all, he is still a child who has just come of age. When Qin Lang went out, he couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly when he thought of how his uncle’s family was shaking with anger.
Of course, he didn’t think that Jiang Chengzhou would be so simple. So at breakfast, he asked straight to the point, “Uncle Jiang, why are you helping me?”
Probably because of these two meetings, Jiang Chengzhou’s attitude towards him was gentle enough, not as scary as in the legends, plus he was in a better mood, he suddenly became more courageous, so he dared to ask Jiang Chengzhou directly.
Jiang Chengzhou summed it up in short: “Your father once helped me a little.”
Qin Lang nodded clearly and didn’t ask any more questions.
Jiang Chengzhou waited for him to finish eating, and then asked him, “You are eighteen years old now, what are your plans?”
The young man was silent. He knew that he was asking about his parents’ inheritance, and at the same time, he was also vigilant. He, who asked such a question, was an unfamiliar uncle who was rumored to be ruthless.
Jiang Chengzhou smiled, “You shouldn’t give up what your parents left for you, but your uncle probably won’t let go either. Your little affection is probably not valuable enough.”
Qin Lang pursed his lips, “What does uncle Jiang mean?”
Jiang Chengzhou leaned on the back of the chair and glanced at Qin Lang’s defensive posture. He seemed to find it interesting, his smile was softer than before: “I suggest you pay attention to safety recently.”
There’s a bloody scent hidden but it really is only simple words like an elders daily care.
Qin Lang bit his lip, he didn’t think about that possibility. On the day of his eighteenth birthday, the inheritance lawyer approached him and asked him what he meant, and vaguely reminded him that it was best to follow his uncle’s will for the time being.
But how could Qin Lang be willing? The group is the result of his parents’ hard work together, how can he give it to others?
Jiang Chengzhou observed all his expressions, and calmly said the prepared lines: “I can help you. I can help you get back what belongs to you.”
Qin Lang asked calmly, “What about the price?”
Jiang Chengzhou showed an extremely gentle smile: “Marry me.”
The boy on the opposite side opened his eyes instantly, his face full of disbelief.
Jiang Chengzhou was not in a hurry, waiting for him to slowly digest.
“You…why do you…” The youth was still puzzled and a little suspicious. He frowned and looked at Jiang Chengzhou again, obviously not believing the possibility that this man would suddenly fall in love with him.
Jiang Chengzhou didn’t follow the usual domineering president’s routine, and smiled like a gentleman: “This is not a deal, but my sincerity. You can think about it slowly. Before you agree, I will send someone to protect your safety that won’t affect your life.”
Qin Lang was still frowning tightly. It was definitely impossible to refuse directly. He had nothing in his hands now. When his father was still alive, Jiang Chengzhou’s power should not be underestimated. Now if he wants to deal with him, a high school student who doesn’t even have a bodyguard, it’s as easy as stepping on ants.
So, he could only choose to ‘consider’ and expressed his shock at his uncle’s straightforwardness.
After Qin Lang left, the proud Jiang Chengzhou said to his system: “System, was I very domineering just now? Is it completely different from those pretty and flirtatious bitchy domineering presidents?” Obviously, he didn’t feel that he was only a little bit different from a pervert, and he had a very strong self-confidence.
Zerozero: “…” Host, are you sure you want me to say it?
Twenty-five: Oh, my family zerozero is the same, he doesn’t have the ability to fight the host.
Zerozero is a very good AI. He understands what kind of assistance the host needs, and will help the host analyze the character and hobbies of the target character, but he will not directly advise the host what to do or what kind of evaluation to give.
In short, he only needs to be ‘useful’ in the host’s consciousness.
If the host doesn’t like the cute system, then he is quiet; if the host likes it, then he is lively and very versatile.
At the beginning of the world, every host had a chance to get a golden finger. After analyzing the personality, characteristics, and hobbies of the two, he chose several options for Jiang Chengzhou.
Jiang Chengzhou chose cooking.
Jiang Chengzhou started chasing after him in a low-key manner after he bluntly expressed his desire to marry Qin Lang that day.
Qin Lang is a third-year high school student. There are not many classes left this semester, and winter break is coming soon.
Qin Lang was studying in an international aristocratic college. Even in the third year of high school, there was no such thing as oppressing students’ holidays. After all, like these young masters and miss, who really want to study after the break, some while at home even ask teachers for extra-curricular tutoring.
Qin Lang originally had them too, but the other two in the family didn’t like to learn, and they were afraid that the more he learned, the better, so they dismissed those teachers for various reasons when he was seventeen years old. It sounds ridiculous and a little chilling.
At first Qin Lang really thought that the teacher was doing something bad, but later he gradually understood so he no longer took the initiative to ask the teacher.
Qin Lang is a dormitory student, and the reason why he doesn’t want to go back every day is obvious. One is that his classmates don’t like him, every day after school, his driver or parents will come to pick him up; the other is that no one will give him a smile when he goes back to the house.
But after school this friday, someone was waiting there early outside the school. A black car was parked in the most conspicuous position, and the rear window was rolled down most of the way. Qin Lang saw the man inside who was looking at something intently with his head down at a glance.
Although the last conversation, he still thinks it is ridiculous, but now that there is such a person waiting there, his mood at this moment cannot be calm.
Qin Lang was greeted by Jiang Chengzhou’s subordinates and got in the car, then he found that the man was dealing with business, so he simply said hello.
“Mm,” Jiang Chengzhou responded. Although he was still looking at the notebook, he took a cup of something from the side and handed it to Qin Lang, “Hot milk, warm your hands.”
Qin Lang took it, his eyes moved slightly, and he said thank you softly.
Since his parents passed away, Jiang Chengzhou is the first person who picks him up at the school gate and gives him a cup of hot milk. Whether it is superficial or sincere, at least at this moment, he is happy.
Jiang Chengzhou took the person home and let Qin Lang watch TV and play games, or look around, while he went to the kitchen to cook.
The kitchen is open so Qin Lang can see his every move. The bodyguards didn’t come in with them. They’re the only ones in the huge flat.
This is newly purchased by Jiang Chengzhou. It’s a high-end duplex. Upstairs is the study and the area divided for Qin Lang. There are only two bedrooms, one belonging to Jiang Chengzhou and one belonging to Qin Lang.
Qin Lang has lived in spacious manor villas and the like since he was a child, so a warmer-looking flat like this feels a little fresh. Especially the study area on the second floor prepared for him, various musical instruments, painting tools, and a gym that both of them can use.
All the furnishings and decorations in this flat were arranged by Jiang Chengzhou. He just wants to let the little guy understand his expectations for the future and believe that he can give him a warm home again.
Not mentioning whether Qin Lang will like it or not, he believes that he will definitely be moved, especially with the past two years without any warmth, which made him numb and cold, now suddenly someone gave him a warm light, even if it’s fake, he’ll want to reach out and grab it.
Jiang Chengzhou took off his apron and shouted upstairs, “Xiao Lang, come down to eat.”
Qin Lang just walked to the stairs and could see the smile in Jiang Chengzhou’s eyes when he saw him. It’s very strange, obviously they don’t know each other, obviously he still thinks this man is very dangerous, but he wants to try his culinary skill, whether it is as sweet as he imagined.
During the meal, Jiang Chengzhou asked Qin Lang about his studies, left a key here to Qin Lang, and then left after eating.
Qin Lang lived in this flat. Jiang Chengzhou would accompany him to eat three meals a day. Breakfast is usually bought while lunch and dinner, he mostly does it himself.
He also hired a few teachers for Qin Lang, who did not teach high school courses, but business management, finance, and various courses that Qin Lang might need to learn after taking over the group in the future.
Jiang Chengzhou and Qin Lang got along like this for a month. He never stayed in the flat overnight, and did nothing to Qin Lang. He really took care of him like an elder.
It seemed that both of them had forgotten the phrase ‘marry me’, no one mentioned it, and no one expressed it.

He frowned and looked at Jiang Chengzhou again, obviously not believing the possibility that this man would suddenly fall in love with him.Jiang Chengzhou didn't follow the usual domineering president's routine, and smiled like a gentleman: This is not a deal, but my sincerity. You can think about it slowly. Before you agree, I will send someone to protect your safety that won't affect your life.Qin Lang was still frowning tightly. It was definitely impossible to refuse directly. He had nothing in his hands now. When his father was still alive, Jiang Chengzhou's power should not be underestimated. Now if he wants to deal with him, a high school student who doesn't even have a bodyguard, it's as easy as stepping on ants.So, he could only choose to consider' and expressed his shock at his uncle's straightforwardness.After Qin Lang left, the proud Jiang Chengzhou said to his system: System, was I very domineering just now? Is it completely different from those pretty and flirtatious bitchy domineering presidents? Obviously, he didn't feel that he was only a little bit different from a pervert, and he had a very strong self-confidence.Zerozero: Host, are you sure you want me to say it?Twenty-five: Oh, my family zerozero is the same, he doesn't have the ability to fight the host.Zerozero is a very good AI. He understands what kind of assistance the host needs, and will help the host analyze the character and hobbies of the target character, but he will not directly advise the host what to do or what kind of evaluation to give.In short, he only needs to be useful' in the host's consciousness.If the host doesn't like the cute system, then he is quiet; if the host likes it, then he is lively and very versatile.At the beginning of the world, every host had a chance to get a golden finger. After analyzing the personality, characteristics, and hobbies of the two, he chose several options for Jiang Chengzhou.Jiang Chengzhou chose cooking.Jiang Chengzhou started chasing after him in a low-key manner after he bluntly expressed his desire to marry Qin Lang that day.Qin Lang is a third-year high school student. There are not many classes left this semester, and winter break is coming soon.Qin Lang was studying in an international aristocratic college. Even in the third year of high school, there was no such thing as oppressing students' holidays. After all, like these young masters and miss, who really want to study after the break, some while at home even ask teachers for extra-curricular tutoring.Qin Lang originally had them too, but the other two in the family didn't like to learn, and they were afraid that the more he learned, the better, so they dismissed those teachers for various reasons when he was seventeen years old. It sounds ridiculous and a little chilling.At first Qin Lang really thought that the teacher was doing something bad, but later he gradually understood so he no longer took the initiative to ask the teacher.Qin Lang is a dormitory student, and the reason why he doesn't want to go back every day is obvious. One is that his classmates don't like him, every day after school, his driver or parents will come to pick him up; the other is that no one will give him a smile when he goes back to the house.But after school this friday, someone was waiting there early outside the school. A black car was parked in the most conspicuous position, and the rear window was rolled down most of the way. Qin Lang saw the man inside who was looking at something intently with his head down at a glance.Although the last conversation, he still thinks it is ridiculous, but now that there is such a person waiting there, his mood at this moment cannot be calm.Qin Lang was greeted by Jiang Chengzhou's subordinates and got in the car, then he found that the man was dealing with business, so he simply said hello.Mm, Jiang Chengzhou responded. Although he was still looking at the notebook, he took a cup of something from the side and handed it to Qin Lang, Hot milk, warm your hands.Qin Lang took it, his eyes moved slightly, and he said thank you softly.Since his parents passed away, Jiang Chengzhou is the first person who picks him up at the school gate and gives him a cup of hot milk. Whether it is superficial or sincere, at least at this moment, he is happy.Jiang Chengzhou took the person home and let Qin Lang watch TV and play games, or look around, while he went to the kitchen to cook.The kitchen is open so Qin Lang can see his every move. The bodyguards didn't come in with them. They're the only ones in the huge flat.This is newly purchased by Jiang Chengzhou. It's a high-end duplex. Upstairs is the study and the area divided for Qin Lang. There are only two bedrooms, one belonging to Jiang Chengzhou and one belonging to Qin Lang.Qin Lang has lived in spacious manor villas and the like since he was a child, so a warmer-looking flat like this feels a little fresh. Especially the study area on the second floor prepared for him, various musical instruments, painting tools, and a gym that both of them can use.All the furnishings and decorations in this flat were arranged by Jiang Chengzhou. He just wants to let the little guy understand his expectations for the future and believe that he can give him a warm home again.Not mentioning whether Qin Lang will like it or not, he believes that he will definitely be moved, especially with the past two years without any warmth, which made him numb and cold, now suddenly someone gave him a warm light, even if it's fake, he'll want to reach out and grab it.Jiang Chengzhou took off his apron and shouted upstairs, Xiao Lang, come down to eat.Qin Lang just walked to the stairs and could see the smile in Jiang Chengzhou's eyes when he saw him. It's very strange, obviously they don't know each other, obviously he still thinks this man is very dangerous, but he wants to try his culinary skill, whether it is as sweet as he imagined.During the meal, Jiang Chengzhou asked Qin Lang about his studies, left a key here to Qin Lang, and then left after eating.Qin Lang lived in this flat. Jiang Chengzhou would accompany him to eat three meals a day. Breakfast is usually bought while lunch and dinner, he mostly does it himself.He also hired a few teachers for Qin Lang, who did not teach high school courses, but business management, finance, and various courses that Qin Lang might need to learn after taking over the group in the future.Jiang Chengzhou and Qin Lang got along like this for a month. He never stayed in the flat overnight, and did nothing to Qin Lang. He really took care of him like an elder.It seemed that both of them had forgotten the phrase marry me', no one mentioned it, and no one expressed it.T/N: One more to go
