Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 18

The anti-gravity engine project was initiated about fifty years ago, back when Cheng Benhe, the old man was in his prime.

The goal was to reverse engineer the existing warship’s drive components to resume the production of anti-gravity engines, thereby enhancing the maneuverability of flying vehicles and reducing energy consumption.

As for the specific cooperative institutions involved, Cheng Jinyang wasn’t really sure. On the research front, his cousin Cheng Yuexian might know something, but even if asked, she probably wouldn’t have much more information to provide.

The reason is simple: back when Grandpa was young, all the active senior members of the family are now deceased.

……

“In any case, Uncle still has issues with the Cheng family. It’s just that due to the Iron Giant Soldier incident in Jiangning City, he has some concerns for the moment and dares not act rashly against the Cheng family,” explained Princess Nankang.

Without the Iron Giant Soldier, the Shendu Cheng clan would have been implicated long ago. When it comes to rebellion, even someone with the surname Sima could be imprisoned en masse, let alone a minor fifth-grade family.

“Sister Xinnan, you mean that until Zhongshu Yu clarifies this matter, he won’t act against me, but after some time, it might be uncertain… right?” Cheng Jinyang asked in a low voice.

“Yes.” Princess Nankang pursed her lips and said, “But I won’t let him do that.”

“Sister Xinnan,” Cheng Jinyang said seriously, “I’m very grateful that you’ve come to help me, but I don’t want you to create a rift between you and your mother and uncle because of me…”

“No.” Sister Xinnan suddenly reached out a finger, pressing it against his lips, her face showing a certain shy, seductive, and alluring smile.

“Actually, I also… have my own desires.”

With that, the full-scale offensive of the princess sister commenced.

In the family estate of the Hejian Xing clan, Xing Yuanzhi, having just finished her bath, walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas to find Xing Wenxing asleep on the sofa, the TV still playing a Go match.

“Really, father is so old, yet still behaves like a child.” Xing Yuanzhi sighed, took a blanket from the cabinet to cover her father, turned off the TV, and set the heater to 27 degrees Celsius.

Then she returned to her bedroom, climbed into bed, where the maids had already changed the bedding.

What’s Jinyang doing?

The thought suddenly crossed her mind.

He has to sleep alone tonight, probably has to fall asleep by himself, poor guy.

I’ll talk to Father and return tomorrow.

In the Cheng family estate, the supposedly pitiful Cheng Jinyang was now pinned under the princess sister who had suddenly turned the tables.

“Sister Xinnan, I…” Cheng Jinyang wanted to make an effort, although as a man he wouldn’t suffer any loss, suddenly giving in was not an option, right?

“Don’t talk, just listen.” The princess sister lowered her head, her golden hair falling onto his face, followed by the fragrant breath like tulips, “Uncle recently told me that I could choose my own husband.”

“If you get engaged to me, it would at least dispel Uncle’s suspicions. Understand? A prince consort and the royal family are naturally united, how could they possibly conspire with Jiangbei’s Su Zigao to rebel?”

“But…” Cheng Jinyang wanted to say, ‘Becoming a consort is impossible,’ but this was a princess!

Is marrying a princess the same as becoming a consort? Wait, what’s the difference between marrying a princess and becoming a consort?

However, the princess sister didn’t give him time to think. She just lay on his abdomen, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers, and said in a seductive tone:

“Also, if you become a consort, because of my blood concentration, our descendants might not have very high abilities… As compensation to your family, I allow you to have children with other outstanding women from prestigious families. As many as you want, what do you think?”

Cheng Jinyang: ???

Ah, this, Sister Xinnan, why are you putting a hat on yourself right away? Wait, if you really don’t mind, then maybe…

However, the golden hair fell more and more, accompanied by the increasingly close fragrant breath, soon drowning his face.

In the Taiyuan Wang family estate, Wang Wanrou came out of the study to see Wang Xinzhi working on his computer in the living room.

Unfortunately, due to his sister’s sudden return, the study’s ownership had changed, but Wang Xinzhi didn’t mind at all.

Having his sister come home to see her brother, what could be more important?!!

“By the way, Wanrou,” Wang Xinzhi suddenly said, “My family arranged a marriage for me yesterday. The bride is a young lady from the Hanoi Gou family.”

“Oh, congratulations,” Wang Wanrou responded coldly.

“Wait, aren’t you curious about what your future sister-in-law is like?” Wang Xinzhi asked in disbelief.

“Well then, what is she like?” Wang Wanrou sighed and asked.

“Ah, she has long black hair,” Wang Xinzhi said enthusiastically. “She doesn’t speak much, but when she does, her words are often spot-on. She is also highly skilled in calligraphy and painting, both considered outstanding. She is widely known as ‘Gou’s Elegant Orchid,’ and Father is very pleased with her…”

“Oh, that’s great,” Wang Wanrou turned away. “I’m going to sleep now. Don’t bother me.”

“By the way! How are things with that Jinyang guy?” Wang Xinzhi asked, looking at her back.

“Just average.”

“Average? Then why do you keep going to his family’s estate?” Wang Xinzhi laughed. “Father also wants you to stay at home for a few more days.”

“If he’s average, then you’re just boring,” Wang Wanrou replied coldly.

“Ah…” Wang Xinzhi was left speechless, watching his sister return to her room and close the door.

Boring…?

But compared to those she doesn’t even bother to comment on, being called ‘boring’ is probably a compliment from my sister, right?

At the Cheng family estate, Cheng Jinyang, who was rated as “average,” was gasping for breath, his lips seemingly still lingering with the sensation from earlier.

“Hehe,” Princess Nankang, who was propping herself up, showed a nurturing smile unique to elder sisters. She wiped the residual saliva from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, “You’re so cute, brother Jinyang. Was that your first kiss?”

“Unfortunately, no,” Cheng Jinyang replied defiantly.

However, his words, spoken in a fit of pique, were mistaken by Princess Nankang as a “young boy’s bravado.” She then firmly pinched his cheeks, making his lips pucker into an “O” shape, and said gently:

“In that case, let me teach you. First of all, you shouldn’t retract your lips when kissing, because that reduces the contact area. Even if your lips come out later, they’ll bring out sticky saliva, which is a bit gross.”

After saying this, she let go of Cheng Jinyang’s cheeks, brushed aside her golden hair with her other hand, and slowly leaned down again:

“You don’t need to pucker your lips forcefully, nor should you retract them. Just keep them natural like this, and slowly make contact…”
