Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Jiang Man Doesn’t Want to Pretend Anymore, but is Silenced with a Kiss as Soon as She Comes Clean

Lisite Gold — the number one person on Forbes’ global ranking!

He founded King Group, an investment company, single-handedly.

Initially, he invested in M-country’s arms dealers and later started his own industrial ventures.

King one, a subsidiary, mainly focused on military industry.

King two dealt with agriculture, trade, and forestry.

King three was primarily engaged in the technology sector.

Not only did he operate these industries, but he also invested in competing industries.

It could be said his business acumen was unmatched, having reached a level where he was without any rival.

No wonder Jiang Man was so formidable — Lisite Gold played a significant role in this.

Having such a person at the pinnacle of human society as a foster father, it was not surprising that she excelled.

"BOSS..."

On the other end of the line, Zhao Huai didn’t dare to hang up the phone and tentatively started speaking.

Lu Xingzhou finally snapped out of his wandering thoughts, "That’s enough, stop investigating Jiang Man and the people around her. Keep her and Wu Yingfan’s identities confidential to outsiders."

"Yes..."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xingzhou was at a loss.

He had always felt that Jiang Man was too outstanding and that he was somewhat unworthy of her.

Now that he knew her background, he felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority.

He had always been a prodigy, memorizing Tang and Song Dynasty poetry at the age of three and completing the curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school by ten.

At thirteen, he was admitted to the special youth class at Qingbei University and was accepted by Harvard at seventeen.

In three years, he completed all undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral courses and published multiple papers in Econometrica and Quarterly Journal of Economics by the time he graduated at twenty.

At twenty-one, he took over the Lu family business and brought it to the top national level within a mere three years.

Previously, many young people worshipped him as a deity and took him as an idol for inspiration.

He had not only an exceptional business mind but also excelled in numerous hobbies such as horse riding, fencing, music, and Sanshou.

He thought himself invincible, always believing there was no woman in the world who could match him.

Whether it was in terms of capability or on an emotional level.

That was until he met Jiang Man.

Until he grew to understand her more and more.

Until he peeled off her layers of disguise, one by one.

He felt inferior.

A genius stood at the summit of the mountain, looking down upon the world, thinking everything below was beneath his feet.

But when he raised his head, he found that beyond the mountains lay further mountains, above the peaks were higher peaks.

And Jiang Man, she stood close to the heavens, veiled by layers of mist and clouds.

He climbed vigorously, feeling as though he could grasp her, only to find it was a mirage. She was still farther away, out of reach.

"Xingzhou?"

A clear voice near his ear interrupted his thoughts.

"What are you daydreaming about?"

Jiang Man walked right past him, bending over to check the water in the bathtub: "It’s cooled."

She felt that Lu Xingzhou’s reactions were strange tonight.

So she stood in front of him with hands in her pockets, looking up at him with a cool expression, "Why are you distracted?"

"I was thinking about why Parna suddenly changed his mind. As he said himself, if he cooperates with the Lu family at a price of 15,000 US dollars without a marriage alliance, it would be a huge loss."

"Because..." Jiang Man furrowed her brows, not intending to keep it a secret anymore.

If Lu Xingzhou asked Zhang Neng to investigate this mystery, he could uproot everything and clarify all her secrets.

The world’s second-ranked hacker was not to be underestimated.

Just as she was about to confess everything,

Lu Xingzhou stepped forward nervously, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, silencing her.

Jiang Man’s eyes widened.

What’s happening?

The old man is particularly passionate tonight.

"Why Parna changed his mind doesn’t matter," Lu Xingzhou moved away from her lips, his mouth curving into a smile, his eyes twinkling, "This time, it’s as if I’m riding on the coattails of my wife."

"Hmm?" Jiang Man’s eyebrows rose, "What do you know?"

"I don’t know, but I can guess that both you and Wu Yingfan have no ordinary identities," Lu Xingzhou said, without a hint of red on his face or skipping a beat.

"Since neither of you wants to expose your identity, then I’ll pretend I don’t know."

"Lu Xingzhou, you..."

Lu Xingzhou lowered his head, his hot breath spraying on Jiang Man’s face.

His eyes brimming with deep affection, alluring and ambiguous, "Wife, you helped me out a lot today, how should I reward you later?"

"Sure," Jiang Man’s interest peaked instantly.

With arms encircling, she hooked them around the man’s neck, "Later, you move."

"When have I not moved?" Lu Xingzhou said with a tone of grievance.

"You want me to move, right?" Jiang Man, in an unusually good mood, playfully reached down and pinched the man’s pert buttocks.

"Hmm? Would you like that?" Lu Xingzhou instantly felt his throat go hoarse, completely unable to withstand the girl’s teasing.

As Jiang Man advanced, he retreated.

Eventually cornered against the wall, the woman raised an eyebrow, "Alright, I’ll move tonight."

...

The next day.

Jiang Man was woken up by a series of incessant dog barking.

"Dongdong, Lala, Kaka, be good, don’t disturb Sister Man."

"Woof... Woof woof..."

"Woof woof woof..."

Little did Shaye know that the more she tried to calm them, the more vigorously the adorable pets barked.

"Oh dear, Mimi."

Seeing the cat actually jumping up to fiddle with the door lock, Shaye quickly picked it up and carried it away.

"This bunch sure knows where to cast their lot," Wu Yingfan commented as he was awoken by the barking, walking out of his room with a bird’s nest hairdo.

"They know whose laps to sit on~"

No sooner had he spoken than Jiang Man opened her bedroom door.

Looking down, she saw several puppies wagging their tails, each carrying something in their mouths.

Some carried stuffed toys, others carried bones.

It was clear they wanted to share their beloved possessions with Jiang Man.

Jiang Man crouched down to pet them, and in perfect harmony, the furry kids all lay on the ground, exposing their bellies for her to stroke.

Shaye’s eyes went wide with disbelief.

Just one night, and her little ones had all switched allegiances?

"Don’t sleep in, Sister Man, you promised to come with me to the jade market for some fun today."

"You’re going to the jade market?" Holding a stuffed doll, Shaye’s eyes lit up with excitement, "Take me with you, take me!"

"Why would I take you?" Wu Yingfan was somewhat disdainful, "Last time it’s because of you that I lost so badly. You only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"

"Not this time, I promise! I’ve been studying stone appraisal hard these past few years, I won’t hold you back!"

"Oh," Wu Yingfan obviously didn’t believe her.

Her?

His gaze fell on her Lolita outfit, full of disdain.

"Big Brother Fan~" she tugged hard on Wu Yingfan.

After pleading for a while and seeing that it was useless, she immediately shifted her target, "Sister Man~ please, take me with you? Shaye won’t cause trouble, I beg you."

Where had Jiang Man ever encountered such a sweet girl?

"Let’s all go," she was powerless to resist, readily agreeing, "Wait for me to wash up."

"Yay~" Shaye jumped up excitedly.

Immediately, she hugged her stuffed doll and turned around, "I’m going to watch the reality show Sister Man shot. I’ll wait for you guys!"

"Yay→_→..." Wu Yingfan mimicked Shaye’s tone, pursing his lips in disdain.

"Stinky Lolita, face my sword!"

"Ah... help..."

The two began to chase and play-fight.

Jiang Man rolled her eyes in speechlessness.

She closed the door and returned to the room, glancing at the man still asleep, "We’re going to the jade market today, are you coming?"

Hmm, she took the initiative last night and wore him out...
