Chapter 790: Pride

Guan Tang stretched lazily near the half-drawn curtains before she slowly made her way to the bathroom to wash up.

It had been such a long time since she had experienced such passion. Her body was tired and satiated. She could not help but smile when she recalled Ye Cheng’s excitement last night.

Men were mostly the same. She could not understand the deep affection between Cheng Che and Jiahui or Mu Chen and Song Ning, but she thought they were just putting on a sanctimonious act. They would still be like the other men once they had gotten naked.

Now that she had conquered Ye Cheng, she felt like she had a reliable person to order around. She felt much more at ease. After all, since she came to M City, she had been constrained and everything went against her plan.

When she thought about Jiahui’s threats, her expression darkened.

‘That wretched woman! If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have shown mercy back then! Now I’m forced to deal with the consequences! However, I can’t touch her now. She’s protected by so many people that if I make a move now, I’ll inevitably leave traces behind.’

One thing Guan Tang was certain of was that Jiahui did not tell Cheng Che about their matter. Based on Cheng Che’s feelings for Jiahui, if he had known what she had done, he would rush to strangle her immediately.

There were two types of men.

One was the type that did not care about a woman’s body and only focused on feelings. They would seem noble and see their partners as sacred and inviolable, only placing importance on love. However, once they got married, the sense of mystery and the sense of sacredness would vanish. It was at this time that they would be most vulnerable to temptation. This type of man had to be disillusioned first before they could recognize the reality.

In Guan Tang’s opinion, Cheng Che undoubtedly belonged to the first type. Hence, she was not in a hurry. She would wait until Cheng Che’s feelings for Jiahui were exhausted before she made a move. All she needed was to maintain a sense of existence in front of Cheng Che, and once there was a gap between Cheng Che and Jiahui, she would easily move in. This was the best tactic to deal with him.

As for the other type, they were fools who were extremely confident. They felt that they had seen many women and none could make them lose their minds. They looked like a gentleman on the surface, but in reality, they were cunning. What they wanted was someone who was wild in bed but also innocent at the same time.

Ye Cheng was definitely this type of man.

In Guan Tang’s opinion, to deal with this kind of man, she had to put him on a pedestal, making him think that he was the best. Then, she would be able to manipulate him into doing whatever she wanted. Even if it was beyond his ability, he would do his best to satisfy her wishes to prove that he was indeed the best.

After washing up, Guan Tang used concealer to cover the traces on her body. After putting on the elegant dress, she was once again the elegant and intellectual Miss Guan.

She decided to go along with Jiahui for now and lulled Jiahui into a false sense of security. When they were in S City, she would slowly gain the evidence in Jiahui’s hand. There was nothing to be afraid of. She would let Jiahui think that she had won. She would only have a chance to act when Jiahui let her guard down. Moreover, she had that fool, Yin Yi, and the puppet, Ye Cheng, in her hands now. There was no need to be afraid.

Guan Tang could not help but smile in satisfaction when she looked at herself in the mirror.

She touched the embroidered hem of the dress. It was really beautiful. It was made by Zhuang Ji. No wonder so many people coveted it.

Guan Tang thought that Song Ning was really lucky. She obtained the protection of the Mu family, bringing Zhuang Ji back to life. However, it brought danger with it as well. She could defend against open attacks, but what about hidden attacks? There were too many people who coveted Zhuang Ji. Did the Mu family really think they could protect Zhuang Ji alone?

Guan Tang thought it was a joke.
