Chapter 205 Bing Tong’s Plan
?
Jiang Ming was dumbfounded when he saw Hong Ling relaying to him regarding Yuan Chunhua's visit.
They had just met in his house and had an awkward conversation. Never did he expect that she would show up again in a few hours.
Not to mention, Zhao Tong had just announced he would work with Yuan Chunhua and now Yuan Chunhua had arrived. Everything that happened seemed to be too much of a coincidence, and Jiang Ming feared that it was planned from the start.
As Jiang Ming became suspicious of this chain of events, Bing Tong was sitting in the carriage alongside Zhao Tong.
She was holding a teacup as she blew on it slightly to cool down the heat. "Father, you have been staring at me for a long time already. If you have something to say, then just say it."
Zhao Tong's eyes were twitching as he tried to suppress his emotions. He coughed for a moment before opening his mouth and asked, "Bing Tong, why did you sleep with that damn brat? Didn't we agree with you just simply asking for his assistance? Why did you sleep with him and even caused me to faint from shock."
Suddenly, Bing Tong narrowed her eyes as she glared at Zhao Tong. "Do you think you can be reassured if I simply ask Jiang Ming to assist us? Don't forget this, father. My life was saved by Jiang Ming and without him, I would have long fallen to the scheme of those hideous powerful clans."
And she continued, "Instead of making it a 50/50 chance on whether Jiang Ming would help us or not, why not make it 100 percent? I have long decided to give my everything to Jiang Ming anyway, so I might as well use this as a chance to get his unconditional support while fulfilling my selfish desire."
Hearing his daughter's words that would even use her body to attain support for him, Zhao Tong felt like he was being a burden and a useless father.
Although it was true that Bing Tong had feelings for Jiang Ming a long time ago, it still left a bitter taste in his mouth considering that Bing Tong spread her legs for him in exchange for his assistance.
"Was it really necessary to do that, Bing Tong?" Zhao Tong asked in a hoarse voice.
"We don't even know if that brat could actually succeed in sabotaging their meeting, let alone his capability. Why would you just risk everything and even your body to him?" He added.
Meanwhile, Bing Tong sighed softly as she truly wondered how her father actually managed to ascend to the throne. For an emperor to successfully ascend to the throne, there is always a bunch of bloodsheds and scheming taking place.
The fact that Zhao Tong was the ultimate winner was a shocker for her considering his conservative mindset.
"Father, if you had truly paid attention to the news lately, then you should know that I'm not being rash in my actions. The first time I met Jiang Ming, I thought he was overly arrogant and conceited. However, his mastery of alchemy was legit and seems to have more profound knowledge than Alchemist Ren." She said calmly, recalling his prideful attitude despite the tense atmosphere back then.
And she continued, "To test whether he was truly a dragon or a fool, I even requested Uncle Lang Tong to secretly test his demeanor. And the result surprised me because Jiang Ming could keep calm under the intense pressure of Uncle Lang Tong. After that, Jiang Ming managed to call out the poison that was seeping inside my body."
At this point, Zhao Tong had his jaws wide open as he finally realized why his daughter would want to invite Jiang Ming to their house. She wanted to confirm if Jiang Ming truly didn't fear no one and would not pretend to be someone else when meeting him.
Recalling their first interaction, Zhao Tong could remember that Jiang Ming didn't actually pay respect to him and was acting like some profound expert.
"Sigh, I have truly gone old and senile these days. To think my daughter was planning this from the start." Zhao Tong's facial appearance seemed to have aged a lot as he could no longer fathom the scheme of Bing Tong.
"It's not really a thorough plan though, father." Bing Tong suddenly said as she flashed a gentle smile, void of her previous coldness.
"At first I was just trying to have Jiang Ming be a valuable ally of ours, but his action… caused my heart to beat rapidly." She said, reminiscing the time when Jiang Ming was teasing the living hell out of her during the treatment. Her first kiss was stolen, and her body was completely exposed to him.
How could her fragile heart handle the confident behavior of Jiang Ming when she had always seen hypocrite or cowardly men in her life?
Without realizing it, Bing Tong's face flushed in redness when she recalled her sexual intercourse with Jiang Ming. She truly enjoyed his embrace and wondered if he would be mad at her for trying to use him previously.
'Jiang Ming probably realized my scheme already, but he shouldn't be mad, right? I've given my everything to him as compensation, and he could always come and get it if he wants more…' Bing Tong was suddenly on cloud nine as she ignored the aggrieved Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong knew that this scheme from Bing Tong today was a complete failure for him. He had forever lost the heart of his daughter to a scoundrel.
He felt like crying but couldn't at the same time because he understood Bing Tong always had better foresight than him. For her to choose Jiang Ming as her man showed that Jiang Ming should be capable of deterring the current crisis of the royal family.
Meanwhile, back in the Moon Bazaar, Jiang Ming waited patiently for Yuan Chunhua to arrive in his personal office.
He had swapped back to his personal office instead of using the VIP room because it was still filled with a pungent smell.
He had already been caught committing a taboo relationship with his aunt. Therefore, his image would have fallen even further if Yuan Chunhua were to known that he had sex with the princess right after his aunt.
At the same time, Jiang Ming began to ponder the naughty scheme of Bing Tong.
'Sigh, I always thought I'm the alpha male and the one in control. Who would have thought Bing Tong looked gentle on the surface but was actually the strategist in the Northern Continent?' He thought, feeling a bit ashamed of himself.
When he pieced everything together, it doesn't take a genius to understand that Bing Tong was planning the whole thing ever since she met him in the alchemist guild.
Of course, Jiang Ming really couldn't get mad because she was genuinely in love with him. Otherwise, he would have caught on to her scheme sooner and wouldn't have looked so stupid.
His thought process was interrupted when Hong Ling knocked on the door outside.
"Jiang Ming, instructor Yuan Chunhua has arrived." Hong Ling said.
"Come in," Jiang Ming regained his composure as he pretended to scan through some documents while letting them in.
The door made a slight creaking sound as Hong Ling and Yuan Chunhua both entered, only to see Jiang Ming reading some documents diligently.
Yuan Chunhua narrowed her eyes as she walked forward and asked, "Jiang Ming, I doubt you can read the documents upside down, right?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Yuan Chunhua snorted coldly as she grabbed the documents in his hand and flipped them around. It turns out that Jiang Ming was holding it upside down and he didn't realize it because he was trying to process his thoughts.
Jiang Ming coughed multiple times as he tried to avoid discussing this topic. He smiled lightly and stood up as he ordered Hong Ling to prepare some fine tea for the two of them.
Hong Ling wanted to laugh aloud at his blunder but managed to suppress her emotions. She was still a maid in the eyes of the outsider despite his constant wording that she was a part of their family.
She nodded her head and proceeded to leave the office so that the two could discuss further. As for the so-called tea, it was just a polite gesture and excuse for her to leave them alone.
Sometime later, Jiang Ming sat down on the couch and glanced at Yuan Chunhua's attire. For some reason, she had changed her outfit completely after visiting his house.
She was dressed in an office lady style with a mini skirt and black pantyhose that prompted him to want to feel her long legs. In addition to that, she had clearly put on some makeup on her face that increased her facial attractiveness.
Of course, the most important thing was the two huge assets on her chest that Jiang Ming was staring deeply at.
"Instructor Yuan Chunhua, you looked exceptionally beautiful right now," He complimented.
