The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 55

Jiang Youxi felt a tingling sensation on her lips, like an electric current coursing through her entire body, sending a tingling sensation through her limbs and bones.

My heart was racing uncontrollably, pounding like a drum.

“Congratulations on your visit.”

“Um?”

“Could you…stop playing with my lips?”

“Why?”

“Because here…” the little girl poked her chest, her face extremely serious, “it’s beating a little fast.”

Lately, for some reason, every time she sees He Zhuo, her heart beats very fast, as if she’s sick, without warning or any pattern.

He Zhuo smiled and asked, “Are you sick?”

“Sick?” Jiang Youxi was surprised. “You also think this is an illness?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Youxi felt like the sky had fallen: “What do we do?!”

It’s over.

Even a layman like him thinks it’s an illness, so it must really be an illness!

This matter cannot be delayed any longer!

Jiang Youxi turned and left.

He Zhuo grabbed her arm: “Where are we going?”

“I need to go to the hospital for a heart CT scan.”

“No need, there are ways to alleviate it.”

Jiang Youxi paused, looking at him hesitantly: “What method?”

He Zhuo bent down, leaned closer to her, and poked his cheek with his finger: “Try it here.”

Jiang Youxi didn’t think much of it and subconsciously imitated his action, poking his cheek with her finger: “Like this?”

“…”

Jiang Youxi checked her heart rate and was pleasantly surprised to find that her heartbeat had slowed down!

Jiang Youxi persisted, poking his cheek again, then pinching it, getting more and more excited with each pinch.

The little girl grimaced and kneaded the object, her eyes gleaming with excitement, like a wicked little witch.

He Zhuo lowered his voice and warned sternly, “Jiang, You, hope.”

Jiang Youxi paused, then snapped back to reality, awkwardly withdrawing her hand and giving a dry laugh as she summarized her experience: “The skin is nice, white and smooth, like squeezing a ball, it’s…it’s quite fun.”

“Is your heart feeling better?”

Jiang Youxi clutched her chest and checked her heart: “It’s still beating a bit too fast.”

“There is a way to completely solve your problem.”

“What method?”

Kiss me.

Jiang Youxi hesitated: “Does it really work?”

“I wouldn’t get anything out of lying to you.”

The man looked serious; he didn’t seem to be lying or trying to trick her.

Lying to her wouldn’t do him any good.

Jiang Youxi was still skeptical: “What if it doesn’t work?”

“I’ll give myself to you.” He Zhuo looked at the girl’s eyes gradually brightening and smiled, “Including all the assets under my name.”

All the assets under his name?!

Wouldn’t that make her a rich woman?!

“Okay!” Jiang Youxi grabbed his hand and gave him a high five. “It’s a deal!”

After saying that, she tiptoed up, leaned in, and kissed him on the cheek.

Pop!

He Zhuo froze.

The crisp sound, like a willow branch, gently touches the lake, instantly creating ripples.

A tingling sensation ran through the spot where she had kissed me.

He Zhuo stared at her intently, his gaze dark and unfathomable.

The little girl covered her chest with both hands and felt it with a serious expression.

The next moment, she frowned, puzzled: “Why do I feel my heart beating faster and faster?”

“Really? Let me feel it.” He Zhuo reached out and pressed his hand on her chest, pretending to “feel” it.

“How was it? Did you jump really fast?”

“He jumps very fast.”

“So you’re willing to accept the loss and have to pay me back with yourself.”

He Zhuo was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes: “Trying to trick me?”

Jiang Youxi put her hands behind her back and tilted her head up triumphantly: “That’s right, I was just trying to trick you.”

“…”

Seeing her foxy little tail practically wagging up, He Zhuo smiled and said, “Alright, tell me, how much money do you want this time?”

“Money, money, money, why do you always talk to me about money?”

“What, you don’t want the money?”

Am I such a superficial person?

“Then what do you want?”

Jiang Youxi thought for a moment: “After you finish dealing with company matters, where do you plan to spend the New Year, and who do you plan to spend it with?”

“Yue Lanting, live your own life.”

As expected, he’s living alone!

“You spend every year alone?”

“Um.”

Aunt Zhang has a family and children and grandchildren, so even if she wanted to stay and spend the New Year with him, He Zhuo would politely decline. He even took the initiative to approve her leave so that she could go home with pay and have a good New Year.

It was more meaningful for her to go back and reunite with her own family than to spend the New Year with him.

Jiang Youxi stepped forward and asked with a smile, “Brother He Zhuo, may I ask you a request?”

“What request?”

“After you finish your business, come back and celebrate the New Year with us, okay?” Fearing he would refuse, Jiang Youxi explained, “You have helped our Jiang family so much. Not only me, but even my uncle and the others are very grateful to you.”

“Since you’re going to spend the New Year alone anyway, why don’t you come over and celebrate with us? It’ll be more lively with more people.”

“Okay, let’s go back then.”

“Huh?” Jiang Youxi was taken aback. “Aren’t you going back to handle company matters?”

“It can also be handled online.”

“Really?” Jiang Youxi couldn’t hide her joy and reached out her hand to him. “Then give me your hand.”

He Zhuo glanced at her: “What?”

“I would like to formally invite you!”

He Zhuo smiled and took the initiative to place his hand in that little palm.

The little girl tightly wrapped her two small hands around his, placed them in front of her forehead, and then gave him a sweet smile.

In this snow-covered landscape, the girl’s smile was radiant, and her joyful voice was filled with sincere anticipation for him.

“Brother He Zhuo, let’s go home together for the New Year.”

He Zhuo stared blankly at the little girl in front of him.

In the cold winter, my limbs are stiff and cold, but the chill cannot drive away the warmth in my heart.

With a flick of his wrist, he inserted his five fingers into the gaps between the other’s fingers, locking them together.

“good.”

–

Everyone was pleasantly surprised to see He Zhuo return and quickly invited him in.

“Sigh, your uncle wanted to persuade you to stay, but knowing you had to go back to handle official business, he was worried it would affect your work, so he didn’t say anything,” Uncle Jiang said, in a good mood knowing that He Zhuo was staying to spend the New Year with them. “It has to be Xi Xi, only she can persuade you!”

He Zhuo rubbed the little girl’s head: “Yes, little Xixi tried everything to keep me here, she almost offered herself up.”

Listen to this!

It’s true what they say: it takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them!

Uncle Jiang laughed heartily: “It’s so cold outside! Come in and sit down.”

Just as they hadn’t finished making the dumplings, Jiang Youxi and He Zhuo joined in and made them with everyone.

Jiang Shaoyang and Jiang Shuli also returned, bringing boxes and boxes of New Year’s goods, including food, toys, and even home appliances and furniture.

Staff in uniforms carried the items in one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the small living room was completely packed with them.

Looking at the living room full of New Year’s goods, the Jiang family elders were puzzled: “Didn’t we tell you to buy some food and toys? Why did you even buy home appliances and furniture?”

They counted the items and found that in addition to the rice, flour, oil, firecrackers, and fireworks that Jiang Shaoyang and his group had purchased, there were also washing machines, televisions, and even sofas!

The sofa is made of genuine leather, and the TV is the most expensive MicroLED model on the market, worth over a million!

Even the washing machine is a high-end line from a well-known brand, worth six figures!

With these home appliances as decorations, the originally ordinary hall has a bright and shining feel.

Jiang Shaoyang quickly ran over and stroked the sofa with his hand: “A genuine leather sofa! This sofa doesn’t look cheap, does it? And why does it look so familiar?”

Jiang Shaoyang immediately took out his phone to take a picture and identify the image.

“Holy crap! It’s a B&B Talia sofa, and the top-of-the-line Maxalto model at that!”

Jiang Youxi was surprised and immediately ran over to touch it. It felt really good: “How much does this cost?”

“1.3 million!”

“So much?” Jiang Youxi looked at him. “Did you rob a bank?!”

“If your brother robbed a bank, would you still be seeing me?”

“Who bought it?”

Jiang Xu said calmly, “Dad bought it.”

As soon as he said that, everyone turned to look at the man who had been calmly making dumplings the whole time.

He Zhuo nodded: “It was indeed me who bought it.”

“Why do you suddenly want to buy this?” everyone asked in unison.

“The family is short of supplies.”

“This is way too expensive!”

He Zhuo glanced at the things he had bought: “It only cost a little over six million in total, is that a lot?”

Isn’t that enough?!

Uncle Jiang calmed down and came over to persuade him to return the items as soon as possible, saying that they couldn’t afford such expensive things.

He Zhuo was unusually serious: “Uncle, you are my master. This is my way of showing my respect to you. Thank you for teaching me how to make sweet peach shortbread.”

“It’s just a peach shortbread, not some secret recipe. He Zhuo, you’re exaggerating.”

“It’s nothing, just consider it as repaying your kindness. Thank you for taking care of Xixi all these years.”

Uncle Jiang subconsciously looked at Jiang Youxi and Jiang Xu.

etc!

Have these two made something of progress?!

He Zhuo didn’t know what he said to Uncle Jiang, but in less than ten minutes, Uncle Jiang happily accepted the gifts He Zhuo had given him.

Jiang Youxi quietly approached her uncle and asked, “Uncle, what did He Zhuo say to you just now?”

He said he wants to pursue you.
