Chapter 457: Vacationing With Belfast

Upon hearing this answer, Chu Jiang truly didn’t know whether to commend Jade for her unwavering faith or to criticize her for being stubbornly ignorant.

Well, since Sleep Talking can no longer cause trouble now, Sister Bel will lead the followers of the Holy Word Religion in a positive direction.

After all, their teachings revolve around theme of "salvation." They believe that anyone who has faith in their god can be saved in this doomsday era.

……

Upon arriving at the private estate, Chu Jiang discovered that Belfast was quite wealthy, oh no, very wealthy.

This was a vintage-looking and spacious estate with various facilities such as villas, castles, vineyards, wineries, and golf courses. It was clearly a place for wealthy people to vacation and relax.

Maybe it was Sister Bel who purchased it from some British aristocrat; just the annual taxes and maintenance fees alone would be a very high number.

Chu Jiang and Belfast met in a villa covered in ivy.

Jade originally intended to leave after bringing the guest, but was stopped by Sister Bel. She asked Jade to wait on the side, claiming it was to prevent some man from having ulterior motives.

This made Chu Jiang shake his head, "Do I really look like a pervert?"

"Ha, who was the one confessing their cravings for my body last time?" Today, Belfast was wearing a fitted white dress, holding a glass of red wine, and her long hair was casually draped behind her.

And she wasn’t wearing any makeup today, nor any earrings or rings; she looked like she was dressed casually.

Even so, with Sister Bel’s deep and exquisite facial features, her bright blue eyes, astonishing fullness in her chest, slender waist, and a pair of alluring, round and slender thighs, she still made people’s hearts skip a beat.

Chu Jiang casually glanced over and said seriously, "I’m here to discuss business. How is the progress with dealing with the problems Sleep Talking left behind last time?"

Sister Bel chuckled, "Didn’t I already tell you on the phone? I even sent some documents to your email. Don’t tell me you forgot right away."

Chu Jiang cleared his throat without changing his expression, "I think some details are better discussed in person, so I declined many invitations both domestically and internationally and came specifically for this trip."

Belfast shook the glass in her hand, her beautiful eyes wandering over Chu Jiang, and she asked in a provocative tone, "Really?"

"Alright," Chu Jiang spread his hands, and he said in a rather "frank" tone, "No, I’m here for a vacation."

This made Sister Bel want to laugh even more, "Why did you come here for a vacation? Didn’t I tell you in advance that I have a grand mansion on this side of the foggy city?"

Chu Jiang thought for a moment and looked at Jade, who was eavesdropping seriously on the side, "Little girl, you go out first."

Jade was confused for a moment and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Little girl, your godmother and I need to discuss something special. Be a good girl and leave us for now."

"No, don’t listen to him." Sister Bel gracefully walked towards Jade and pulled her to sit beside the couch in the hall. "Whatever it is, just tell us directly. Jade is my most adorable and trusted daughter, and she doesn’t need to be excluded from any secret matters."

Although Jade knew that her godmother was just pretending for show and purposely speaking for Chu Jiang to hear, she still felt happy and joyful upon hearing the compliments, unable to suppress those feelings.

This made Chu Jiang a bit troubled. Belfast was too clever, almost seeing through his intentions at a glance. That’s why she set up hurdles for him.

Of course, if Sister Bel really disliked Chu Jiang, she wouldn’t speak to him in such a teasing tone right now. She wouldn’t be arguing with him here, but instead would have a stern face and kick him out.

So Chu Jiang still said, "Going on a vacation is just one of the purposes; I also want to get closer to you."

"How close? Zero distance?" Sister Bel leisurely asked back.

Chu Jiang hesitated for a moment. "Well… It mainly depends on you. I guarantee that all interactions between us will be voluntary on your part. If you think I’m bothering you, you can always ask the little saint to beat me with a stick and throw me out."

"Who is the little saint? Could it be our Jade?" Sister Bel said while embracing her adopted daughter’s shoulder.

Chu Jiang nodded, "Just a form of address."

Belfast noticed Chu Jiang’s "ambitious" nature and began pondering, tapping her chin lightly.

Jade felt a bit nervous and strange at the same time. Chu Jiang was young, so why was he interested in the Pope? Was he into older women?

Of course, Jade couldn’t deny that her godmother was very feminine. Compared to her own youth and beauty, she had certain advantages, and she also had a good figure and high intelligence and emotional intelligence…

As she compared herself to her godmother, Jade started feeling insecure. Then she scolded herself for having such thoughts and disrespecting her godmother. She wanted to slap herself.

Just then, Sister Bel finally spoke again, "Forget about dating or anything like that. You’re a wishy-washy scoundrel, and being with you wouldn’t bring me any benefits."

"Besides, I can never get married in my lifetime. My parents’ failed marriage has made me distrustful and fearful of such relationships."

"If you really want to come on vacation, you can stay here as long as you like. But I may not always be around. If I have free time, we can talk about interesting topics or play chess, or something."

"And as for Jade, you actually had a good chance with her before. But now, you’ve lost it. I respect her personal opinion and won’t force her to submit to you."

Chu Jiang nodded, "I never thought of forcing this little girl either."

Jade heard both sides’ decision and froze for a moment. Then she turned slightly and buried her head in the godmother’s arms.

Belfast rarely showed such closeness to her. Usually, she seemed more like a strict elder figure to Jade. So Jade cherished this time.

Sister Bel gently patted Jade’s back, then gestured with her eyes to Chu Jiang that he could go upstairs and bring the bags to check in.

Chu Jiang didn’t disturb the tender moment between the "mother and daughter." He just nodded again and quietly went upstairs.

……

In the evening, the three of them dined together in the estate. Chu Jiang could see that the relationship between Sister Bel and Jade had grown closer.

At least it was no longer as icy and formal as a superior-subordinate relationship. It had softened a lot. This made Chu Jiang laugh a little. He didn’t expect that his arrival would actually promote harmony in someone else’s family.

During the meal, Belfast asked Chu Jiang many questions, mainly wanting to know about his past, his personality, and his outlook on the future.

Even though Sister Bel had already done a lot of research on Chu Jiang before being brainwashed by Sleep Talking, she still wanted to confirm if her analysis of Chu Jiang as a person was correct.

Chu Jiang calmly responded while eating, as if they were having a casual conversation.

In return, he also asked Sister Bel several questions. Although he had hypnotized her before, she was not in a normal state then. Chu Jiang wanted to learn more about her.

Sister Bel responded in the same way, but she insisted on Chu Jiang changing how he addressed her, and not using the term "Sister Bel" anymore.

Actually, Chu Jiang found that term quite endearing, but since the other person insisted, he started using the nickname "Bella" occasionally to refer to her.

Overall, the meal was very harmonious. Jade remained quiet and listened more than she spoke, showing a calm demeanor.

……

In the following days, Chu Jiang and Sister Bel played chess, went horseback riding, played golf, and played Texas Hold’em poker. They also read scripts and took walks in the garden, enjoying each other’s company.

Belfast wasn’t as busy as she had claimed. Even when they had free time, she and Chu Jiang engaged in various leisure activities together. She even personally taught him things that Chu Jiang didn’t know how to play, like golf.

As for Jade, she was sent by Sister Bel to take care of some things for Holy Word Religion, so she hasn’t been playing third wheel here these days.

On the fourth evening, the two of them played cards as usual, but this time they tried a new game called Belote. It has 32 cards, with only eight cards of each suit: A, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K.

Chu Jiang had never played this game before, so he gave it a try and ended up losing to Belfast multiple times.

But after losing several rounds, Chu Jiang got the hang of the rules, figured out some tricks, and quickly caught up with Sister Bel’s winning rate, eventually surpassing her.

This made a certain lady a little annoyed, and there was some physical contact between them.

It’s worth mentioning that they were playing this game on the bed… So from a certain moment onwards, somehow they ended up embracing each other in disarray.

Seeing this, Belfast turned off the dim light on the bedside table, and Chu Jiang kissed her soft lips with understanding, experiencing the taste of this beautiful mixed-race woman.

After that, it naturally turned into an indescribably wonderful night, and the bed creaked and shook for a long time~

……

The next morning, Chu Jiang woke up feeling refreshed and full of energy. He had finally rediscovered a long-lost desire and for the first time, he transitioned from a boy to a man.

As for Sister Bel, she was tired and lazily napped in Chu Jiang’s embrace.

Since both of them took the first step, their leisure activities in the following days were occasionally spiced with some adult-oriented content.

On the first day, Chu Jiang reminded himself not to get too obsessed with women.

On the second day, Chu Jiang became addicted to Belfast and couldn’t break free from it.

On the third day, Sister Bel expressed her frustration on the bed, "Are you a dog? How many times do you want it?"

Chu Jiang responded, "If I’m a dog, then you’re the female one. Thanks."

On the fourth day, Belfast smirked and provocatively asked, "Do you want another round?"

As a man, Chu Jiang couldn’t tolerate it and the two sides started fighting again.

On the fifth day, Chu Jiang started packing his luggage, getting ready to go back to his country.

On the sixth day, the plan to return home was put on hold.

On the seventh day, Research Institute No. 21 headquarters delivered good news. There had been a significant breakthrough in the research of the Two Realms Bell. Expert Chen instructed Chu Jiang to return as soon as possible.

So Chu Jiang finally left the peaceful town, officially ending his vacation and embarking on the journey back home…
