Chapter 1529: Reward?
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rainystars
When Jiang Chen first started the harem, he never thought that he would be concerned over his chaotic prior relations.h.i.+ps. After he realized the seriousness of the problem, it was almost too late.
Of course, there was no regret.
He had never regretted a certain decision he made.
Except…
Well, he just started to feel a little worried.
After he debated for a while, he finally turned the doork.n.o.b and walked into the mansion. The moment he stepped in, Xia s.h.i.+yu and Sun Xiaorou each grabbed one of his arms. They both smiled as they sat down on the sofa while he was ready to face the “inquiries” of the girls.
With how anxious Jiang Chen looked, Xia s.h.i.+yu, who sat on his left hand side, giggled.
“Aren’t you curious about what we talked about? You will know soon.”
“Uh… I suddenly don’t want to know,” Jiang Chen said.
“It’s okay, brother-in-law, it’s a good thing.” Xiaorou smiled.
“Can you not use the term brother-in-law? It always feels weird…” Xia s.h.i.+yu said.
“No, this is Xiaorou’s exclusive name.” Xiaorou still maintained the same smile.
“First of all,” the family meeting…or the signing of the unequal treaty began. Sun Jiao cleared her throat pretentiously, stared at Jiang Chen with piercing light in her eyes, and announced, “The first rule is that as a punishment for a certain individual’s scandalous lifestyle, you must be responsible to everyone. In other words, you must marry everyone. If you dare to abandon someone, we will ignore you for the rest of our life.”
This punishment was too serious…
But it did not matter for Jiang Chen, since he did not plan to leave anyone behind.
“No problem, that’s what I planned originally,” Jiang Chen said sincerely.
“Also, you’re not allowed to give us more sisters,” Xia s.h.i.+yu said as she folded her arms in front of her chest and then pushed her gla.s.ses up with her finger. “As for the women still outside… We have decided to forgive the past. In short, you’re not allowed to bring new women back. Even if there is an existing one, she must be approved by all of us. Otherwise… Hmph, you know.”
Jiang Chen felt that there were deeper meanings behind that smile.
He was very curious about what it was but decided not to ask.
“I promise you. Is there any more?” Jiang Chen quickly agreed.
“No.”
Sun Jiao clapped her hands and put down the one leg crossed over her leg while she looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.
No?
Jiang Chen took a moment to process this information.
He originally thought that with Sun Jiao’s bully character, plus the mischievous Xiaorou and Xia s.h.i.+yu who easily got jealous, it would be hard to get through the day. However, in the end, after they signed the “treaty”, it was over?
Although it was good for him, he had a bad feeling.
“Brother-in-law, you seem to be nervous?” Xiaorou smiled with her lips closed.
“Uh…am I?”
Sun Jiao said with a smirk while she looked at the anxious Jiang Chen.
“Given your good att.i.tude, we’ve decided to give you a small reward.”
“Yes, tonight,” The slightly lowered lens that reflected light blocked the shyness in Xiao s.h.i.+yu’s eyes, as she said the sentence in an emotionless tone, “We…decided to let you sleep in the middle.”
“It’s pretty early now,” Xiaorou pressed her finger against her lower lip as her bright pupils became mixed with charm and seduction. “Let’s get started.”
“Yes, yes! I’ll go get some vodka to hype the atmosphere up,” Natasha said in excitement. Every time he would bully her until she was about to fall apart, now, it was finally time for her revenge.
Lin Lin and Yao Yao sat there and blushed. They didn’t say a single word during the entire conversation. Out of everyone here, they were the only inexperienced ones. Ayesha stood up in silence and closed the curtains in the living room. Lilith moved away from the sofa and left s.p.a.ce for everyone.
After Jiang Chen heard Xia s.h.i.+yu, he was first overjoyed, but soon his expression changed.
Reward?
Hold on…
Is this really a reward???
“Wait, wait, it’s a bit too early now. At least wait until it gets dark…”
“It’s not early anymore, everyone is waiting in line,” Xiaorou sat on Jiang Chen’s lap and the “little devil” hiding in her was finally unleashed from Xiaorou’s mischievous smile, “Moreover, it’s time to teach our lovely Yao Yao some things, after all…she is already an adult.”
“I suddenly remembered that I ran into Han Junhua on the way to the General’s Mansion just now. It seems that there is some important doc.u.ment that I need to hurry up—”
“Don’t mention other women’s names, you can only look at me now.” Xiaorou pressed her finger gently against Jiang Chen’s lips and stopped him from finis.h.i.+ng the sentence. Her other arm wrapped around his neck while her tongue lightly brushed against him, “Also if you dare to escape now, we will ignore you forever.”
I see…
The real Shuraba is here.
When his eyes met the mischievous smile, cold sweat oozed from Jiang Chen’s forehead.
It was the first time he experienced the so-called feeling of happiness and despair…
…
Inside the hotel at Sixth Street, the old man with skin as black as charcoal sat with one leg crossed over his other in dissatisfaction. The white woman that knelt behind him had a collar around her neck, her neckline was exposed, and her face was covered with a colorful patterned mask.
“I want to know when your general will be willing to see me.”
His finger tapped against the wooden armrest of the chair, and the big golden diamond ring clanged against the armrest. As he watched the sky gradually turn dark, the black man showed a flash of impatience. A NAC diplomat from the NAC Logistics Department sat across from him. Since most of the civil servants in the NAC military government were from military backgrounds, he sat there with his back straight. Next to the diplomat was an interpreter, who majored in French.
“The people in South Asia are much more straightforward than you,” the black envoy said impatiently, “Rice, right? If you don’t like corn, I can bring rice next time. One ton of rice in exchange for one slave, and we can double that for an engineer, and double that for an engineer in infrastructure.”
“NAC has abolished slavery, and we cannot agree to your request, but if you are still interested in other things, we may still be able to talk,” the diplomat took a look at the interpreter, slowed his sentence down, and continued, “And here, while food is precious…but it is not as precious as you think. If you can, we would prefer you to use diamonds, gold, ores, or other things that you think are valuable.”
After the black man heard the interpreter’s translation to French, he showed a look of disbelief. He had been to the south before, and the people there told him that no land could be used for agriculture.
“Don’t lie to me, I know you very well. Your land is no longer farmable. We have a large amount of fertile land and countless cattle and sheep. We need you to come to build roads and houses since you are very good at these, right? It’s fair to trade a ton of rice for a slave.”
The diplomat and the interpreter looked at each other and stood up.
“Your request exceeds my authority. I cannot provide you with a response, but I will convey your request to the general.”
“Let him come and talk to me in person,” the black man said impatiently, “my time is precious.”
The diplomat nodded slightly, then left with the interpreter.
