I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 2298: Chapter 1459: Subduing Sharpness, Untangling Discord, Harmonizing Brilliance, Blending with Dust

The dragon-like city walls rise proudly from the peaks, cutting through the vast ridges, weaving a magnificent arc amidst the sea of clouds and mist. Each gray brick is wrapped in weathered cracks, within which the memories of blood and fire settle. The sheer cliffs are pierced by the iron-gray walls. When the wind sweeps past the battlements, it emits a wailing howl, as if the shouts of the border guards have never dissipated, shaking the vast Yan Mountain with the deep echo of bronze chimes...

This epic built with mountain bones uses the millennia of time as ink, painting an eternally unbending backbone on the map of Huaxia.

Every time I stand on the Great Wall, the agitation in my heart is uncontrollable, because it is a deep-seated resonance in my genes.

Of course, this is not Jiang Chen’s first time atop this eternal monument in architectural history. He came once when initially discussing the creation of the Great Wall, along with the founding team of the Great Wall Group, and of course, the Young Prince who joined the fun.

Thinking back to that time, the name "Great Wall" was an inspired suggestion by Princess Cao, which was unanimously approved afterward.

And now, the Great Wall still stands, with tourists as numerous as ever. However, things have changed; among the original touring founding team, only he and Lan Peizhi remain today.

No.

There’s also a third party... the "sister".

Alright.

In the accurate sense, I am actually the "third party". Today Lan Peizhi is visiting the Great Wall with a friend, and I’m playing the role of the third wheel. However, my presence was not met with resistance from the sister, since it is said that mixed-gender partnerships make work less tiresome, and the same applies to leisure activities.

To be friends with Lan Peizhi, that sister must not be an ordinary person. She came to climb the Great Wall wearing women’s slippers, in a sky-blue dress that was exceptionally fresh and refined, with a wide-brimmed hat and flowing hair, truly embodying the elegance of a... charming young woman.

When we met, this sister showed Jiang Chen an unexpectedly amiable warmth. Being fair-skinned and beautiful is one thing, but her name is also quite distinctive.

Shan Yi Yi, similar to the polyphonic name Shi Qianxi.

Upon shaking hands, Jiang Chen clearly noticed that she subtly scratched his palm.

Jiang Chen, no longer a fledgling, of course understood what a fierce young woman meant. Facing such "teasing," Jiang Chen, whose resolve is more steadfast than most party members, remained unmoved, offering no "response," only maintaining his grip out of politeness!

Until.

He heard Lan Peizhi’s supplementary introduction from the sidelines.

A powerful woman like Lan Peizhi is ultimately an exception, a minority; most people follow normal life trajectories.

What is a normal life trajectory?

It is getting married when it’s time and having children when it’s time.

During the handshake, Jiang Chen noticed a not too large yet bright diamond ring on her ring finger, knowing she was already attached, but Lan Peizhi’s introduction still shocked him as if struck by lightning.

The sister’s husband turns out to be someone who wore stars on his shoulders.

A rank even higher than Wang Heting’s formidable sister.

Although it was just a gold star, it was an authentic General!

Upon realizing the background of the sister, Jiang Chen decisively withdrew his hand, ignoring her "resentful" gaze.

"Let’s rest a while; tired."

Unsurprisingly, Sister Shan, who at first glance seemed pampered, complained she didn’t want to continue after a short walk, leaning against the wall bricks.

Jiang Chen thoughtfully offered her a tissue.

Actually, people like her should have security guards as standard, but with Lan Peizhi here, there was no need for that.

"Thanks~"

She softly thanked him, her gaze drifting over Jiang Chen’s face as she took the tissue to wipe her sweat.

"Pei Zhi, I know you’re fit. You keep going. Jiang Chen and I will rest a bit, then catch up with you later."

Jiang Chen did not object to this title, given her age was indeed his senior, and it felt endearing.

Undoubtedly.

This lady must be one of the allies supporting Lan Peizhi against Princess Cao.

But such matters were irrelevant.

Letting Lan Peizhi go ahead?

Who is really the outsider here?

"You rest here, I’ll go ahead with him," said Lan Peizhi decisively.

"How could that work?"

More suited to wandering in gardens rather than climbing the Great Wall, Shan Yi Yi immediately objected, "There are so many people here, what if I run into trouble?"

Hmm.

A very sensible point.

Such an enticing young lady, how could one neglect to be cautious?

"How about—"

Her eyes shifted to Jiang Chen again, her smile oozing sweetness, "Jiang Chen, carry me on your back, will you?"

"..."

"..."

Not knowing her background might’ve been one thing, but even then, with Mr. Jiang’s integrity, he’d never take advantage of someone!

"I might not be able to carry you," he declined tactfully, as gentlemanly as jade.

Shan Yi Yi gave him a playful look, "How can you not? I’m only 100 pounds. Jiang Chen, are you still too young to not be energetic?"

Indeed, married women and unmarried women are worlds apart.

Jiang Chen kept silent.

Lan Peizhi spoke up: "Should I call for a bearer to carry you?"

Such services have long been trendy, as long as you’re willing to pay, you can scale mountains effortlessly.

"Never mind, that’s such a waste of money."

Upon hearing about bearers, Shan Yi Yi quickly waved her hands to refuse, conserving money as usual, yet somehow treating Mr. Jiang like a free beast of burden?

Are younger brothers meant to be bullied?

Jiang Chen certainly wouldn’t stay behind alone, nor could he leave her by herself, so the three could only halt for a joint break.
