Night.
Xing Yuanzhi hid in the bathroom to make a phone call. Cheng Jinyang sat outside, faintly hearing her voice from behind the door:
"Mm... Mmhm... It's okay, Father... I know how to handle it..."
Obviously, Xing Yuanzhi had a set of explanations for her "long absence" to her family. Although it's unclear what it is, it's undoubtedly necessary to regularly check in to reassure her family.
Miss Wang seems quite relaxed, staying in the Cheng family's territory for so long without even making a phone call to the Taiyuan Wang family.
Wait, does Wang Wanrou have a phone?
Cheng Jinyang carefully considered and realized he had never seen her using a phone.
So, it's possible that this young lady doesn't stay in touch with her family through a phone.
Considering the characteristics of the mind steel seal, it feels like there might be some dark truth behind this.
I don't care anymore, anyway, Shendu Cheng family is not under my control at the moment.
At this moment, Wang Wanrou was lying on the bed, leaning against the raised pillow, leisurely reading a paper book.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts, with long hair casually tied into a single ponytail hanging in front of her chest.
Over these days, Cheng Jinyang had already figured out why Miss Wang chose this hairstyle.
Reason One: Easy to Tie.
Miss Wang is extremely lazy. Or, more accurately, when it comes to anything she doesn't care about, Wang Wanrou has a completely indifferent attitude.
Reason Two: Arrogance.
With this miss's unparalleled beauty, does it make any difference how she styles her hair?
Of course, if we set aside this uncomfortable arrogance, Cheng Jinyang had to admit that Miss Wang's self-awareness was quite accurate.
She is indeed both beautiful and intelligent.
Beautiful, mainly because of her face, which can be said to be exquisitely perfect. For example, Cheng Jinyang personally believes that girls with slightly larger eyes tend to look better.
However, Miss Wang's eyes are not very large, not as pure and bright as Xing Yuanzhi's, which makes people notice her involuntarily at first sight. But they also do not match descriptions like "small" or "slender", they are of a just-right size.
Her nose bridge is not notably high and profound, but it's also not short and flat, it can be evaluated as a very moderate shape.
"Just right" is a precise summary of Miss Wang's facial features.
Each facial feature taken individually seems to be a "delicate internet celebrity style" without any distinctive features, but when combined, they have a super charming synergy, like pieces of a puzzle fitting perfectly together, making Cheng Jinyang suspect whether this young lady molded her own face in the womb with the amniotic fluid.
As for her figure, it seems similar as well, not tall, not short, not fat, not thin, with no particularly prominent features, but overall, it's a hundred percent perfect.
Perhaps in terms of aesthetics, "perfection" means that every inch has to be just right.
Otherwise, if one area stands out too much, then other areas that aren't standout become deductions.
"How is it?" Miss Wang stared at her book, not lifting her head as she asked, "After staring at me for so long, do you feel you have gained a deeper insight and understanding of aesthetics?"
Cheng Jinyang: ......
Besides her beauty, Miss Wang's intelligence is also quite astonishing. To exaggerate, it's as if she possesses the ability to read minds and predict the future.
If this girl had a gentler and more considerate personality, perhaps no man in this world could resist her charm.
Fortunately, her disdainful personality keeps people at bay; with just a few words, she can shatter hopes and make one deeply understand the meaning of 'marrying a virtuous wife rather than a beautiful one'.
Is being good-looking and smart useful? Can you handle it? Can you live together peacefully?
Cheng Jinyang was lost in thought when he saw the bathroom door open.
Xing Yuanzhi, who had finished communicating and bathing, emerged from inside draped in a towel, her jet-black, dense hair damply resting on her shoulders.
Considering Xing Yuanzhi's status as Cheng Jinyang's fiancée, Cheng Jinyang must give her some extra points in impression so as not to pale in comparison to Miss Wang.
Xing Yuanzhi's lips were slightly thin, giving her a delicate appearance, and her nose was also petite and exquisite.
The facial beauty rating of eight or nine points mainly concentrated on her large and bright eyes, which could be described as bright and charming. If she could smile more often, it would be even better.
Of course, her most prominent feature is her cold temperament.
Some might ask, "What is temperament?"
Temperament is like an invisible aura, though intangible, it indeed exists. For instance, those in power often exude an aura of authority without even trying, or like a seasoned detective who can discern clues from a suspect with just a glance.
Besides appearance and temperament, Miss Ah Zhi has fairer skin and a slimmer figure, with the only slightly plump part being her chest... Of course, this should not be overly described.
In terms of intelligence, she also excels with top-notch aristocratic upbringing, especially in terms of experience and knowledge, which Cheng Jinyang admits he lacks compared to her.
Of course, Miss Wang is extraordinary; one can't judge her by the standards of ordinary aristocratic children.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xing Yuanzhi asked as she dried her hair with a towel, noticing Cheng Jinyang's gaze.
"You look beautiful," Cheng Jinyang replied truthfully. He knew that genuine compliments from the heart could surely make a girl's day.
Xing Yuanzhi lifted her chin proudly, instinctively wanting to say "I know," but forcibly held back.
She suddenly realized that if she spoke those words, her image would quickly resemble that of a certain shameless and arrogant young lady.
"You flatter me," Xing Yuanzhi said with composure.
"Didn't someone say he's face-blind and can't tell beauty from ugliness?" Wang Wanrou sarcastically remarked.
"Cough, cough, I've been cured by Miss Wang." Cheng Jinyang quickly came up with a clever response.
Immediately, Wang Wanrou had nothing to say and hummed in satisfaction.
"Your emotional intelligence and speaking skills have improved lately!" Xing Yuanzhi said with a half-smile.
"Hehe," Cheng Jinyang laughed, "One grows in the company of the virtuous, after all."
Xing Yuanzhi returned to her own bed, while Cheng Jinyang also climbed over Wang Wanrou and slept in his own spot.
Although sharing a bed with Miss Wang, the two never crossed any boundaries. Or perhaps, Miss Wang would never give him such an opportunity. Maybe it's because of this that Ah Zhi can tolerate them sleeping together.
With this in mind, Cheng Jinyang felt somewhat relieved that Xing Yuanzhi never seemed jealous.
Xing Yuanzhi turned off the lights, and the room plunged back into complete darkness.
After a moment, Cheng Jinyang suddenly asked, "Miss, does the Wang family have an organization similar to Tianluo Department?"
"We have the Langya Guards," Wang Wanrou replied.
"Are you not considering participating?" Cheng Jinyang asked.
"I?" Wang Wanrou said strangely, "With my looks and intelligence, do you expect me to condescend to personally go to the battlefield?"
The use of 'condescend' and 'personally' was quite out of line, so Cheng Jinyang could only cough and say, "Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."
He pulled the blanket up a bit, thinking, even if you reject the idea of going to the battlefield, aren't you still going to the nightmare with us later?
