Chapter 194: World 01 02

Chapter 194

Before Jiang Yan was taken away by the System, she was still lying in the hospital. It was the System's doing during its crazy phase.

So, when she regained consciousness, she was still in the hospital room.

A faint smell of disinfectant lingered in the air, mixed with the fragrance of lilies in a vase on the table. The plain curtains hanging on the window fluttered in the breeze, rising and falling.

Jiang Yan lay on the bed, watching, enjoying this moment of quietude that no force could alter.

The silence was soon broken.

The machines connected to her seemed to detect an anomaly, emitting a series of alert sounds. A large group of doctors and nurses in white coats rushed over, hurriedly preparing for emergency treatment, only to surprisingly discover that the patient's condition had undergone a dramatic change—her once critical life signs had returned to normal!

After staying in the hospital for two more days without any abnormalities detected, Jiang Yan calmly checked out under the astonished gaze of the doctors.

Jiang's Father and Jiang's Mother unanimously felt this was a narrow escape from death and insisted that Jiang Yan rest at home. They even hired several private doctors to come to the house to deal with any potential situations.

It was a full month before Jiang Yan was allowed to leave the house.

During this time, Lin Cheng had sent numerous passionate messages—before Jiang Yan entered the System, he hadn't had the chance to confess his feelings, but unexpectedly, they had gotten together during this ordeal.

However, because he had previously collaborated with Qin Zhenzhen to aggressively suppress her businesses, he had thrown his own company into chaos.

Completely unaware, Lin's father and Lin's mother were so angered by their reckless son that they kept him confined at home.

As for Qin Zhenzhen, Jiang Yan had only seen her in the news recently. She had long black hair, narrow phoenix eyes, thin-rimmed glasses, and always wore appropriate women's suits.

The very image of a career woman. They had always maintained a free and easy friendship, sometimes not contacting each other for long periods, but remaining close when they met again.

However, Jiang Yan wasn't sure if she remembered the events from the simulated world.

...

After leaving home, Jiang Yan went to her company. The Little Secretary, with her round face and eyes, was waiting at the company entrance to receive her.

Jiang Yan took the elevator to her private office. Even though she hadn't been there for a long time, everything inside was still neat and clean.

She had just sat down in her office chair when the Little Secretary brought in a pile of backlogged documents, sweetly informing CEO Jiang that these all needed to be approved as soon as possible.

Jiang Yan could only sigh as she picked up her custom pink diamond fountain pen and, accompanied by a fresh latte brought by the Little Secretary, begrudgingly started working.

Lin Cheng quietly pushed open the door to find the young and somewhat famous CEO Jiang chewing on her fingertip while scribbling her name on documents.

Lin Cheng didn't fully open the door, but squeezed through the gap, placed the bouquet of roses he was carrying on the sofa, and walked behind Jiang Yan, leaning on the chair to look at what she was writing.

Jiang Yan heard footsteps but thought it was the Little Secretary coming to deliver something else. She didn't look up, but suddenly felt a tickle on her neck as Lin Cheng's clear voice said, "Baby, working hard, I see."

Jiang Yan jerked her head up, but didn't expect Lin Cheng to be so close. She accidentally hit his chin with her forehead.

Covering her forehead, Jiang Yan laughed, "Did Uncle and Aunt Lin let you out?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to be in pain, Lin Cheng gently lifted her fingers one by one to check if her forehead was red. He replied unhurriedly, "No, I jumped out of the window."

Jiang Yan let him blow on her uninjured forehead while she reached out to rub his bumped chin.

Lin Cheng, who had been preoccupied with concern earlier, suddenly realized that this was their first intimate contact in the real world.

He suddenly felt nervous. Although they had been together many times in the virtual world, they hadn't officially confirmed their relationship in reality.

Lin Cheng worried that what happened in the mission might not reflect Jiang Yan's true feelings. He knew Jiang Yan being with him was real, but he planned to take things slowly, to court Jiang Yan anew starting from today.

He tried to suppress the nervousness rising in his heart, but his rationality flew out the window. His disobedient mouth blurted out, "Kiss me."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Cheng felt a bit regretful. He thought that if Jiang Yan refused, he would pretend nothing had happened and wait until he had properly won her over to kiss her thoroughly.

But if she didn't refuse, then...

He was still leaning on the chair, lost in thought, when he suddenly felt a soft touch on his lips.

Jiang Yan seemed to have seen through his thoughts, her eyes filled with obvious amusement, as if deliberately teasing him.

Lin Cheng was caught off guard for a moment, rapidly trying to recall kissing techniques from the simulated world, but his mind went blank. Finally, impatient, he simply embraced Jiang Yan and kissed her instinctively.

His earlier thought was completed: If she didn't refuse, then he would kiss her thoroughly right now!

...

After kissing again and again, Lin Cheng was pulled onto the chair by a dazed Jiang Yan, a pen placed in his hand.

For the entire morning, Lin Cheng diligently worked on behalf of his wife. It wasn't until they were about to go out for lunch that Lin Cheng remembered the bouquet of roses he had brought for his confession.

Lin Cheng quickly shut the door he had just opened with a "click", grabbed the flowers, and swiftly dropped to one knee in front of Jiang Yan.

The sensation of their kisses seemed to linger, and Lin Cheng savored it for two seconds, feeling like he hadn't kissed enough but also feeling a bit embarrassed.

Perhaps it was the significance of kneeling on one knee that made people nervous.

The confession speech was unnecessary now, but Lin Cheng still felt anxious. Holding the roses, he looked up at Jiang Yan, trying to sound matter-of-fact: "Wife, take the flowers."

The Little Secretary, who had noticed the door opening, thought something was happening and walked towards the office. She arrived just in time to hear this shy yet forceful statement, and was so shocked that she covered her mouth, retreating to her desk before starting to giggle.

She had just gotten some juicy gossip about the boss.
