The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 226: Chapter 144 Return to Hometown

The Intermediate [Universal Resume] had an additional option to edit twice compared to the Basic one. Last night before going to bed, Zhou Wang couldn’t help himself and clicked on “Special Items.”

However, he didn’t have any particularly evil thoughts, just wanted to test how powerful the edited outcome would be.

No one could directly change a person’s thoughts, not even the gods, but the unscientific aspect of the system lay in its ability to plant a seed in the other person’s mind, which was the so-called “psychological suggestion.”

But there were various restrictions.

For instance, such edited entries had to comply with the objective development laws of reality, and they couldn’t completely contradict Jiang Qingkui’s personality. Depending on the degree of change, the time it took to take effect varied…

Zhou Wang’s first edit was just a small attempt to make Jiang Qingkui more open to accepting new things.

Judging from the changes in her attire, this subtle change seemed to have already begun.

It was quite interesting. Wasn’t this considered an alternative kind of “nurturing”?

Zhou Wang noticed that Jiang Qingkui next to him wasn’t as calm as she appeared because her body was too tense, with a button somewhere seeming about to burst under immense pressure…

Suddenly, a thought struck Zhou Wang. Even if Jiang Qingkui’s mindset had changed, she shouldn’t be so nervous in front of him.

After all, she was the proud Jiang Qingkui!

Quickly, Zhou Wang thought of something…

Almost forgot, besides the “Special Items” currently in effect, he himself was also still under the [Divine Fortune Halo]. It seemed there was some “Charm” bonus in there…

Zhou Wang looked again at Jiang Qingkui’s profile. He wasn’t sure if it was because her makeup today was slightly heavier than usual, but her features, a mix of boldness and softness, appeared more feminine at this moment.

“Did you tell Uncle Jiang and Auntie Guan about your return to Jing City?”

Zhou Wang asked as if making casual conversation.

“No.”

Jiang Qingkui shook her head, then softly added, “They still don’t know I’m working for you…”

“Hard to bring it up, right?”

Zhou Wang roughly understood, “Do you want me to…”

“No need, if I have time these days, I’ll go back and explain it to them face-to-face.”

Jiang Qingkui paused, then said calmly, “It’s not really embarrassing, although they probably won’t understand, it’s a relief that the benefits you offer are decent, I have some room to argue.”

Jiang Qingkui’s expression was very calm, as if she had already done sufficient mental preparation.

But remembering the personality of Uncle Jiang, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but click his tongue. That man regarded raising Jiang Qingkui as his greatest life achievement…

At the time when Jiang Qingkui’s college entrance exam results came out, Uncle Jiang strolled around the neighborhood for half a month, doing nothing every day, just lingering wherever there were crowds…

Not surprising, though, anyone would awaken the “show-off” trait with a daughter like Jiang Qingkui, it was really something to boast about!

Being a top scorer in the college entrance exam meant being a person recorded in the local history of Jing City, equivalent to being remembered forever.

Zhou Wang didn’t speak again. After this casual chat, Jiang Qingkui unknowingly relaxed a bit. However, just as she was about to say something, Zhou Wang closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Qingkui remained silent, turning her head to watch the scenery rapidly passing outside the window in a daze. Occasionally, her gaze would sweep over Miao Ying, who was driving.

Though a young lady, she seemed quite steady at driving; there was hardly any noticeable sensation when accelerating or decelerating. Besides, she was pretty quiet. Zhou Wang had really found a good driver…

Suddenly, Jiang Qingkui felt a slight weight on her shoulder. She turned her head in surprise, only to find that Zhou Wang, with his eyes closed, had somehow shifted his head onto her shoulder.

Zhou Wang’s head wasn’t particularly heavy, but such intimate contact made Jiang Qingkui feel very uncomfortable.

Besides her father, Jiang Qingkui had never had physical contact with any other male. Instantly, a peculiar indescribable feeling rose in her heart.

Moreover, for some reason, as she closely examined Zhou Wang’s face and felt his gentle breathing on her neck, Jiang Qingkui’s heart unexpectedly began to beat a bit faster…

Strange.

Before, though she considered Zhou Wang’s appearance pleasant, the kind that most girls found handsome, she didn’t have much personal feeling, at most just admiring Zhou Wang’s aura.

Furrowing her delicate brows, after a brief hesitation, Jiang Qingkui didn’t wake Zhou Wang, just stared straightforwardly.

Just leaning on me to sleep for a bit, it’s nothing, no need to be too sensitive…

Just as Jiang Qingkui had this thought, her body suddenly stiffened.

Because Zhou Wang, perhaps genuinely asleep, began to slide his head down her shoulder.

Before Jiang Qingkui could react, his head was already resting on her bosom.

Such excessive contact filled Jiang Qingkui’s cheeks with an instant blush. She was about to push Zhou Wang away, not sure if it was because her clothes were too smooth, but his head slid from the fabric, falling onto her lap with a very suitable angle.

The swift and intense friction nearly made Jiang Qingkui cry out, but fortunately, she promptly covered her mouth.

Miao Ying, wearing sunglasses, continued driving silently and attentively, seemingly unaware of what was happening in the back seat.

After a few deep breaths, barely calming the tingling that struck deep within, Jiang Qingkui looked at Zhou Wang’s head resting on her lap.
