The sound of whistling finally brought Jiang Wanqiu back to her senses.
She shyly buried her head in Qi Sheng's chest.
'This is so embarrassing!'
She had never imagined that she would one day take the initiative to kiss a boy in front of so many people.
But the sweetness of her first kiss made her affection for Qi Sheng skyrocket uncontrollably.
Her affection level was now at 85, a clear sign that she was ready to fully accept Qi Sheng.
All Qi Sheng needed to do was stage a romantic confession, and he could take the purity she had guarded for twenty years.
As Qi Sheng took her hand, Jiang Wanqiu subconsciously intertwined their fingers, clasping them tightly.
Feeling the warmth from his palm, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.
They hadn't officially started dating yet.
But the sweet feeling of being in love was already making her head spin.
Looking at Qi Sheng's extraordinarily handsome face,
Jiang Wanqiu couldn't suppress a secret thrill of joy.
'Sure, I've been single for twenty years.'
'But a potential boyfriend like Qi Sheng is definitely someone worth showing off.'
'He's got the looks, he's got the height.'
'And even his material wealth is exceptional.'
The Vacheron Constantin on his wrist alone was worth almost seven million.
He was willing to spend over ten million on her brother's all-carbon P1.
His family's background had to be in the tens of billions, at least.
Only a family worth tens of billions could support that kind of spending.
In that sense, she and Qi Sheng were a good match, socially and financially.
Even if her parents asked, she would have a perfect answer for them.
In the short two or three minutes it took to walk from the dance floor to their booth,
she had nearly come up with names for her and Qi Sheng's future children.
"Wow, Jiang Wanqiu, you've got some nerve! Looking at your brother's face, I think he's about to explode!"
Her roommate, Zhang Lu, came over, looking at Jiang Wanqiu with newfound admiration.
"Hmph, so he's allowed to do whatever he wants, but little old me can't even light a candle?"
Although Jiang Wanqiu said that, she still sounded a little unsure of herself.
"Heh, Jiang Wanqiu, you've really grown up!"
Seeing the two of them with their fingers intertwined, Jiang Nan's eyes blazed with fury.
"I don't care! I like him, and you are not allowed to break us up!"
With Qi Sheng by her side, Jiang Wanqiu found the courage to look Jiang Nan straight in the eye.
"Er..."
Seeing his sister dare to talk back to him for Qi Sheng's sake, Jiang Nan's expression grew exceptionally complicated.
There was reluctance and a hint of gratification, but mostly, he was just annoyed.
Admittedly, he wanted to be friends with Qi Sheng, even brothers.
But letting Qi Sheng become his brother-in-law was absolutely out of the question.
Jiang Nan didn't believe his sister had any chance of winning against Qi Sheng's fairy-like girlfriend.
"Qiuqiu, it's not that I don't approve of you two. It's that Ah Sheng already has a girlfriend."
"If you cause a scandal by being the third party, how can the Jiang Family show its face in Shanghai?"
Jiang Nan was being clever, directly accusing her of this.
After all, it was a fact that Qi Sheng had a girlfriend; that couldn't be erased no matter what.
"I..."
Jiang Wanqiu hesitated, looking pitifully at Qi Sheng.
If she were from a minor family, no one would say much even if she became someone's mistress.
The problem was, Jiang Wanqiu's status was different.
She was the cherished daughter of a family worth tens of billions.
Forget finding a well-matched partner; becoming a third party was something she absolutely could not do.
Faced with Jiang Wanqiu's pleading gaze, Qi Sheng could only touch his nose in embarrassment.
'If Jiang Nan and the others knew I have over a dozen girlfriends,'
'they would probably guard her to the death and never let her near me.'
"Wanqiu, I do have a girlfriend. I won't deny that."
Meeting Jiang Wanqiu's beseeching eyes, Qi Sheng steeled his heart and told the truth.
If he really got together with Jiang Wanqiu, he wouldn't be able to hide these things anyway.
Jiang Wanqiu was indeed beautiful, gorgeous enough to topple cities.
But to abandon his other girlfriends for her alone...
Qi Sheng absolutely couldn't do it.
After all, his girlfriends were the foundation of his System.
If he really abandoned them and committed only to Jiang Wanqiu,
the System would become useless. There would be no difference.
The hope in Jiang Wanqiu's eyes turned to disappointment.
She knew, of course, that forcing Qi Sheng to choose between her, whom he had just met, and his long-term girlfriend...
would put him in a very difficult position.
But seeing him reject her so decisively, with almost no hesitation,
still filled her with an indescribable sense of grievance and sorrow.
'On the dance floor, this guy stole my first kiss.'
'Was all that sweetness just a lie?'
Jiang Wanqiu wanted to shout and question Qi Sheng, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
All she could do was gaze forlornly at the heartbreaker before her as glistening tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, there there, my dear sister. Ah Sheng is just afraid you'll get even more carried away."
"Alright, your big brother will take you home now."
Seeing Jiang Wanqiu start to cry, Jiang Nan forgot all about the girl in his own arms.
He kept handing her tissues, his eyes filled with heartache for her.
But he was very satisfied with how Qi Sheng had handled things.
Making a clean break and nipping the ambiguity in the bud.
'Now *that's* a true brother of mine, Jiang Nan!'
If Qi Sheng had really harbored any ulterior motives...
with his terrifying resources, he was in no way inferior to their own family.
If Jiang Wanqiu had found an ordinary boyfriend,
they could have used methods like restricting her credit card
to make her gradually realize how ordinary the guy was,
and how he was completely unworthy of her, a young lady from a prestigious and wealthy family.
But Qi Sheng was completely different.
At such a young age, he already controlled a fortune of at least several billion.
He was also the chairman of multiple corporate groups.
