Chapter 356 The Cat Demon Abused by the Hypocritical Heiress 28 (1/2)

“Jiang Ci, I did it voluntarily,” Yuan Jiang said without hesitation. Then, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said earnestly, “People cannot be compared. I like him, so he is the best in my heart.”

"But where is he now? He's nowhere to be found." Jiang Ci racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out. What good was that brat besides being good-looking, having a good physique, and being strong? He wasn't bad-looking either!

Yuan Jiang stared quietly at Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci shut his mouth, a feeling of powerlessness he had never experienced before enveloping him. After a long while, he sighed, his eyes drooping in disappointment, and whispered, "Fine, fine, you like him, you like him."

"Don't worry, I'm not that old man He Li, I won't pester you!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiang's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed: "Anyway, thank you."

"Oh." Jiang Ci reluctantly replied, turning her head away from Yuan Jiang and walking out: "I'm going out, you should get some rest."

With a loud bang, Jiang Ci slammed the door shut.

Yuan Jiang lay back down on the bed, staring at the luxurious crystal chandelier on the ceiling. Her heart was still unsettled. So much had happened in the past few days that she couldn't make sense of it all.

I don't know where to find the banquet master.

Sudden!

Yuan Jiang's eyes lit up, and she used her consciousness to call out to the system: "System, where did Si Yan go?"

The seemingly nonexistent system emitted a cold, mechanical voice: "[He's gone back to the deep mountains to find a way to achieve immortality.]"

Yuan Jiang:..........

"Hasn't he already achieved immortality?"

[This is what I found for you]

Yuan Jiang's face showed no obvious expression, but her fingertips were secretly clenching her palms. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings, and a trace of inexplicable melancholy appeared in her eyes: "So how is his search going?"

The system paused for a moment, then its voice was weak: "His ability to develop sentience is already an extremely rare phenomenon. Human lifespans are short and fragile; he couldn't possibly have found him."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiang bit her lip tightly, leaving a silver line on her rosy lips, her face full of sorrow.

Si Yan is stubborn and prone to getting stuck on details. If he doesn't find a way to make her immortal, will he come back?

Yuan Jiang was having a headache thinking about it. She figured that if Si Yan didn't come back by then, she would have to go find him herself.

——————

Jiang Ci didn't use the Jiang family's power to become the Yuan family's son-in-law, but he became Yuan Jiang's... sworn brother.

Yuan Jiang, wearing a silver two-piece halter dress, stood blankly in the crowd, looking at Jiang Ci on the stage, who was proudly and smugly holding Yuan Xiuyan's arm. Her feelings were extremely complicated.

Yes, Jiang Ci won the favor and affection of Yuan Xiuyan and Liu Yun with his silver tongue. The two were so impressed that they wanted to adopt Jiang Ci as their godson, and they couldn't stop them.

Tonight's banquet was specially held for Jiang Ci to announce this good news to the public.

"Little Jiang, call me brother!" Jiang Ci descended from the stage like a peacock spreading its tail feathers. Wearing a pink suit and holding a glass of red wine, he walked straight to Yuan Jiang, slightly raising his chin and curving his lips into a smug and arrogant smile.
