As Jiang Tianran let out a chuckle, she realized that the reaction she had anticipated from her boss upon discovering her true gender was not what she got.
Fragrance?
Indeed.
She naturally carried a body fragrance that, even without the aid of expensive perfumes, would make any man weak at the knees and swallow hard in her presence.
Unfortunately, five years of military service filled with daily training and sweat had masked this scent.
Thankfully, it was this very fact that had kept her identity as a woman hidden from her boss.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun maintained a calm exterior, though inside, a storm was raging.
Who could have guessed?
The comrade he had shared a roof with for five years was actually a woman?
The thought of them having shared guns, beds, and battlefields left Qin Yun's mind in a whirl.
Liu Ya, too, was filled with confusion and shock. What did this mean? Had her neighbor, who had served in the military for five years, been comrades with the Eldest Miss Jiang all along?
And from the sound of it, they had even shared a dormitory!
Wasn't this Eldest Miss Jiang a modern-day Mulan?
Qin Yun coughed, quickly averting his gaze from Jiang Tianran and changing the subject: "What about the other six?"
"Why didn't they come with you?"
Remembering how these seven comrades often disappeared together, Qin Yun suddenly thought of something and asked again.
"Wait, could they also be...?"
Jiang Tianran chuckled and nodded: "That's right, they're all women too."
Qin Yun's mouth twitched. So, I was the only man? No wonder every time I suggested we bathe together, you all ran off faster than sprinters!
Turns out, they were all women!
Qin Yun awkwardly laughed: "I see."
Jiang Tianran continued: "Boss, the six of them have some matters to attend to and aren't in Jiangnan right now. They'll be back in a while."
"In the meantime, I'll be the one to entertain you."
"So, what about tonight? Do you have a place to stay?"
Qin Yun scratched the back of his head: "Well..."
Liu Ya hesitated for a moment and said: "My company has staff dormitories. I've tidied up a room. How about..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun quickly said: "Staff dormitory sounds good, really good."
"Good? What's good about it!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Tianran looked displeased: "Boss, after five years of camaraderie, you want me to watch you stay in a staff dormitory? Are you looking down on me?"
Qin Yun waved his hands: "No, no, Red Carp, don't say that, that's not what I meant."
"Then come with me!" Jiang Tianran insisted: "I have a villa, you can stay with me."
"Uh..." Qin Yun thought for a moment, searching for an excuse: "I can't, I promised to be a driver for my Cuihua tomorrow. I have to work!"
"This..." Jiang Tianran hesitated, looking at Liu Ya, applying a subtle pressure with her gaze.
Liu Ya immediately understood and said: "Brother, the staff dormitory is too small and lacks many things, it wouldn't be convenient for you."
"As for work, the hours are from ten to six, just show up on time."
"Alright then."
"Goodbye."
As a woman, Liu Ya could see that the Eldest Miss Jiang had feelings for Qin Yun. If she stayed as a third wheel, it would be inconsiderate.
Besides, the Eldest Miss Jiang was backed by the Jiang Clan, not someone to be trifled with.
With that, Liu Ya picked up her bag and left without a backward glance.
"Cuihua!" Qin Yun was dumbfounded. He had just helped her get rid of a bunch of hooligans, and now she was selling him out?
That's not fair!
Then, Jiang Tianran smiled and walked to her Lamborghini, opening the passenger door: "Boss."
"Come home with me!"
"Hiss..."
Qin Yun slung his army-green backpack over his shoulder, muttering to himself: "Why do I feel like I'm about to be completely devoured?"
...
Jiang Tianran's villa was located in a luxurious area in the city center, with top-notch security and decor.
Upon arriving at the villa, Qin Yun curiously looked around and set down his luggage.
"Uh, Red Carp..."
Jiang Tianran interrupted: "Boss, my real name is Jiang Tianran. We're both retired now, no need for code names. Just call me Tianran."
"Uh..."
"Alright! Tianran, where's my room?" Qin Yun asked curiously.
Jiang Tianran pointed to a bedroom upstairs. Without another word, Qin Yun grabbed his luggage and dashed up, planning to take a cold shower to calm down.
Seeing his behavior, Jiang Tianran smirked, crossing her arms: "Boss seems quite shy."
She then took out her phone, looking at the chat group with her seven sisters, a sly glint in her eyes.
"Sorry, sisters, tonight I'm going to claim the boss's first night."
"Who told you all to have urgent matters? Though it's fair competition, I have the home-field advantage in Jiangnan!"
"So don't blame me."
With that, Jiang Tianran took off her trench coat, revealing her fragrant shoulders, white as snow pears, as her delicate scent filled the air.
Half an hour later, Qin Yun emerged from a cold shower, finally calming down. Lying on the soft bed, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Tianran's feminine appearance.
To be honest, she was quite beautiful, a striking blow to a hot-blooded young man like him.
Yet, Qin Yun was puzzled. Wolf Head had clearly assigned him to lead the Divine Dragon Special Operations Team, so why were all his comrades women?
This revelation was shocking, considering that women generally had a physical disadvantage compared to men.
But in five years of fighting side by side, he never felt that these seven comrades were any less capable than men. Their combat skills, training endurance, and mission execution were all top-tier Soldier King level.
"To achieve that, you seven must have sacrificed a lot!"
Qin Yun sighed, unsure if this news was a surprise or a shock.
Oh well!
Now retired, with five hundred thousand in hand, his future was his to decide.
The seven of them would likely return to their original lives after retirement.
As for him, a rural boy, he had little in common with someone like Jiang Tianran, a lady from a prestigious family.
As he pondered, Qin Yun glanced around the room's decor, noticing the neatly hung dresses in the wardrobe, his heart skipped a beat.
"Wait!"
"This bedroom..."
Just as he realized.
"Click!"
The bedroom door swung open, and Jiang Tianran entered, wearing a white silk nightgown, her hair cascading over her fragrant shoulders. The lace peeking from the hemline instantly sparked Qin Yun's imagination.
"Tianran, you..."
Before he could finish, Jiang Tianran closed the door, locked it, and with a seductive smile, walked to the bed, kicked off her slippers, and naturally lay beside Qin Yun, hugging his arm.
Qin Yun's body tensed, his legs tightened, and he felt a jolt like electricity, his hairs standing on end, his throat involuntarily moving as he swallowed hard.
"Tianran, I only see you as a comrade."
Jiang Tianran buried her head in his chest, her alluring scent filling Qin Yun's nostrils.
"Boss, I've admired you for five years."
Her voice was magnetic, incredibly enchanting.
Feeling parched, Qin Yun added: "You wouldn't..."
Jiang Tianran interrupted again: "Boss, you wouldn't be unable to, would you?"
At these words.
Qin Yun couldn't hold back, turning off the lights and flipping over to pin her down.
"Brother, you asked for this."
That night was a whirlwind of passion, sweat pouring like rain, as Jiang Tianran experienced her boss's formidable prowess for the first time.
