Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Lin Xiyan Fulfills Her Promise, Jiang Che’s Satisfaction

The next morning.

Jiang Che lazily got up from bed. After having breakfast, he went out directly. He drove a Bugatti Veyron towards Lin Xiyan’s Lin Group.

He hadn’t forgotten what she promised him. It had been a long time, and he hadn’t gone to see her, almost forgetting about it.

Now that he remembered, he couldn’t delay any longer; otherwise, if he forgot again, it would be troublesome.

At the Lin Group building, after parking his car, Jiang Che headed straight to the sixteenth floor, to Lin Xiyan’s CEO office.

Jiang Che had been to Lin’s a few times before, and the employees knew him. Along the way, many greeted him, aware of his special relationship with their CEO.

“Hello, Young Master Jiang…”

To maintain his public persona, Jiang Che smiled back at everyone, looking very approachable.

“Young Master Jiang is so handsome. Our CEO Lin is really lucky.”

“If I had such a handsome and rich boyfriend, I wouldn’t care how many women he kept outside…”

One female employee said with a lovestruck expression, her eyes dreamy as she watched Jiang Che leave.

“You little tramp, always dreaming of such things!”

“Do you think Young Master Jiang would even look at you?”

Another female employee said disdainfully, giving her a look. It wasn’t even dark yet, and she was already dreaming?

“Can’t I even dream?” The lovestruck girl retorted, feeling unhappy. Although she knew it was unrealistic, it didn’t stop her from dreaming.

…………

On the sixteenth floor, inside the CEO office.

Jiang Che didn’t even knock, directly pushing the door open and walking in. He saw Lin Xiyan, who was busy handling documents.

Disturbed from her work, Lin Xiyan frowned, looking very displeased. Didn’t this guy know to knock before entering?

Lin Xiyan was about to reprimand her employee but froze when she saw it was Jiang Che.

“What brings you here?”

“I missed you, so I came to see you.” Jiang Che pulled over a chair, sat opposite Lin Xiyan, and said gently. He couldn’t say he came to make her fulfill her promise, could he?

“Hmph, men’s words are always lies!” Lin Xiyan snorted coldly, her tone unfriendly, but she showed a bright smile.

Although she knew Jiang Che liked to sweet-talk her, she couldn’t resist enjoying it. And after not seeing him for a while, she did miss him a bit.

“What are you busy with?” Jiang Che asked curiously, seeing the pile of documents on her desk.

“Recently, Lin’s received an order from a company from Modu, asking us to deliver a drug within a specified time. I’m weighing the pros and cons, hesitating whether to sign this contract.”

Lin Xiyan sighed. Signing the contract might earn some money, but only barely covering labor costs due to the low profit and high effort.

However, if they didn’t sign, the Modu company might not approach Lin’s again. Since this company needed long-term orders, and Lin’s wasn’t the only pharmaceutical company, Lin Xiyan was very hesitant.

“I’m here today for something.” Hearing Lin Xiyan’s words, Jiang Che found it uninteresting and changed the topic directly.

“Go ahead, what is it?” Lin Xiyan glanced at Jiang Che, knowing he wouldn’t visit her without a reason. He was always one to come only when there was a need.

“Do you remember the promise you made to me at the banquet last time?” Jiang Che glanced at Lin Xiyan’s black silk-clad legs, casually asking.

“What promise did I make?” Lin Xiyan was stunned but quickly realized what Jiang Che was implying, her creamy face blushing attractively.

“Well… I remember…” Lin Xiyan stammered, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s, lowering her head shyly.

She didn’t expect Jiang Che to remember such a casual promise for so long. She didn’t know that it was an obsession for Jiang Che, and he wouldn’t give up until his goal was achieved.

“Hehe… Good, as long as you remember. You can fulfill your promise now.” Jiang Che laughed dryly, looking at Lin Xiyan with anticipation.

Blushing, Lin Xiyan didn’t refuse. She took off her peep-toe high heels, revealing her black silk-clad feet.

“This… Why do you have such strange preferences?” Lin Xiyan looked at Jiang Che with confusion, bewildered by his peculiar tastes. But she wasn’t one to break a promise. Since she agreed, she would fulfill it.

“Hiss…”

“You wouldn’t understand…” Jiang Che took a deep breath, not answering her question.

How could he explain this? Everyone had different preferences, so it was normal to have unique interests.

Looking at Jiang Che, who didn’t want to dwell on the topic, Lin Xiyan didn’t ask further and continued with her task.

“You…” Feeling Jiang Che’s reaction, Lin Xiyan blushed even more, feeling extremely shy.

She never expected that such a thing could trigger such a reaction in him…

“Why did that Modu company want to cooperate with your Lin family?” Jiang Che frowned, changing the topic, sensing Lin Xiyan’s shyness.

Finally getting a chance to make Lin Xiyan fulfill her promise, he wasn’t about to let her off easily. Opportunities like this didn’t come often.

“I’m not sure. That company specifically called for us for cooperation. And their young master will visit Linjiang City in a few days for an inspection.” Lin Xiyan shook her head, not fully understanding the situation.

“The young master, is it a man or a woman?” Jiang Che caught the key detail and asked eagerly.

He sensed something unusual about this situation. Lin Corporation had no previous cooperation with them, so why would they suddenly seek Lin’s out specifically?

“It’s a man, why?” Lin Xiyan looked at Jiang Che, puzzled by his sudden question.

“Nothing, I think I understand…” Jiang Che pondered for a moment, figuring out some details.

Since it was a man, seeking cooperation with Lin’s and having Lin Xiyan sign the contract instead of Lin Canghai, it was clearly aimed at Lin Xiyan. This guy was likely a protagonist, but Jiang Che didn’t know what kind yet.

“Continue, don’t forget your main task!” Noticing Lin Xiyan had stopped, Jiang Che kindly reminded her.

Lin Xiyan glared at Jiang Che coquettishly but didn’t say more.
