Jiang Sese became uneasy from all the staring, especially considering the suggestive look in his eyes. To her embarrassment, her cheeks became warm and made her feel even more awkward. "No, no, I'm here to see Xiaobao.""Ah? Xiaobao? Why are you looking for him?"Jin Fengyao's smile instantly faltered and his expression became filled with disappointment.Jiang Sese didn't expect such a reaction from him. She asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? Can't I look for Xiaobao?"Jin Fengyao waved his hand. "Nah. Xiaobao is with my parents now. You won't be able to see him now."He paused for a beat before recovering his smile. This time, his smile resembled that of a wolf. "But if you're here for my brother, he's very free!"Even if his brother wasn't free, he was sure that the former would make it look as if he was very free!He quietly added that in his mind.Jiang Sese couldn't help hesitating. She had the feeling that the Second Young Master of the Jin family was lying through his teet
"I promised Xiaobao I would give him an unforgettable birthday, but I can't do that anymore. Please tell him that I'm really sorry."Jin Fengchen's frown deepened after hearing her explanation. He stepped forward and lifted Jiang Sese out of her bowing stance.He was so gentle that Jin Fengyao nearly went blind.Jiang Sese was surprised as well. She never expected this from him.With an unchanging expression, Jin Fengchen held her shoulder and patted her on the waist. "You can speak while standing. Don't bend your waist."His light touch instantly made her forget to react. All she could feel was a numbness emerging from the spot where he touched her that flowed throughout her body.Moments later, he guided her back to the couch.Jin Fengchen acted like nothing had happened and sat down next to her. "What do you mean when you said you can't do it anymore?"Jiang Sese inexplicably became nervous. She said apologetically, "I've… resigned from the Zhuoyue Creative Agency.""Resign
Jiang Sese was in the dark about Jiang Nuannuan's intense malice.The only thing she could do was worry about things.Not only did she have the burden of her mother's treatment fees hanging over her head, but she couldn't even get a new job. She was so discouraged that she was deliberating being a temporary worker.While she was still worrying, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.The caller was the person in charge of a company called Jinse Creative Agency, who was pleased with her resume and wanted to hire her.Jiang Sese's first reaction was that the company had to be a scam. She had neither heard of this company nor sent her resume to them.Thus, she asked cautiously, "Is your company truly interested in hiring me? Don't you need me to do an interview?"The woman on the other end of the line answered with utmost sincerity, "Right, no interview is necessary. We can get an understanding of a person's capabilities through her resume. You are an outstanding student, Miss Jian
After making sure that she didn't mishear him, Jiang Sese was instantly swept into a state of chaos. She shook her head so hard that she made herself dizzy. "Um, it's all right," she said. "I can go on my own. How can I let you go grocery shopping with me?"Besides, he was the President of the Jin Group! The dream man of countless girls! The social elite with a net worth of more than 100 billion! The giant among men! What if someone found out about this?Unfortunately, the President of the Jin Group didn't pay this much attention. With a matter-of-fact expression, he replied, "Why can't you?"Did he still have to ask?Someone with such an aggressive air would stand out terribly at the market.She would be surprised if people didn't gather around him and watch him like a rare animal if he went!Even so, she didn't dare to reveal her thoughts. She laughed dryly and said, "Because you're a guest, of course! I can't trouble you for something like this."The three of them had reached her do
Jin Fengchen was stunned, but he looked closely at the faces of Xiaobao and then Jiang Sese nevertheless.Jiang Sese found it amusing how seriously he was taking a child's words.How could they look alike when she and Xiaobao weren't related?Jin Fengchen was planning to give a perfunctory reply, but upon closer observation, he found that Xiaobao's and Jiang Sese's facial features were surprisingly similar.Their facial features were similarly graceful and refined. When their eyes looked around, he would even say that their resemblance went up to 70% or 80%..."You two do look alike," Jin Fengchen said in surprise.He took an even closer look at their faces.The more he looked at them, the more similar he found them!Jiang Sese was immediately skeptical after seeing how earnest he was being. She also turned to stare at Xiaobao.However, the more she looked at Xiaobao, the more she thought he resembled a miniature Jin Fengchen.Like his father, Xiaobao had perfectly sculpted facial feat
When Jiang Nuannuan noticed his odd behavior, she couldn't help asking in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother Sichen?"Lan Sichen stared at the person in front of him with a complex expression. "It's… Jiang Sese," he replied."What?"His words caught the rest by surprise and they all turned to look. Sure enough, they saw a slender and elegant figure standing there.She had changed drastically in the five years that they hadn't seen her.Her features had become much more refined and she was also taller. No longer a fledgling beauty of the years past, she emanated the serenity and elegance of an orchid in an empty valley. It was the kind of standoffish temperament that kept people at an arm's length.The conflict that Lan Sichen's parents felt was evident in their eyes.Back then, this was the daughter-in-law of their choice. They had even watched her grow up. Unfortunately, she ended up doing something so humiliating later on.Jiang Zhen, on the other hand, didn't show much of a reaction
"Pa—"The sharp, clear sound rang throughout the corridor.The other patrons and waiters watched this scene unfold, dumbstruck.Jiang Nuannuan's first reaction was to rush to Lan Sichen's side. "Brother Sichen, how are you?"Qin Shuang had also run over to her son. When she saw his inflamed cheeks, her face became contorted from anger. "Jiang Sese, how dare you hit my son! I'm going to kill you!"She threw herself at Jiang Sese, looking determined to rip the latter to shreds.Jiang Sese couldn't dodge her in time. Just as she was about to get injured, a sturdy and powerful arm reached out from behind her and firmly blocked Qin Shuang's hand."What's going on?"Jiang Sese could hear the faint but powerful anger in the ice-cold voice behind her.Then, a familiar scent enveloped her.The scent exclusive to Jin Fengchen was a faint, cold fragrance.What she felt next was a wide chest pressing against her back. The warmth from his skin reached her through their thin clothing.Instantly, a b
"Then why did she run away?" Xiaobao sobbed on his father's shoulder.Jin Fengchen patted him on the back. "She was bullied by bad guys. It's my fault for not protecting her. I'll call your uncle here, so go home with him first. I promise you that I will bring Auntie Sese back for you. Is that okay?"Xiaobao raised his head to look at him. "I want to come with you. I want to see Auntie Sese.""Not now. Be obedient. If you still want to see her, be a good boy and go home. Otherwise, you might not be able to see her again."Xiaobao curled his lips. He was about to cry again.Jin Fengchen looked at him. "Hmm?"Xiaobao scrunched his nose. "I'll be on my best behavior."Pleased with his son's answer, Jin Fengchen took out his phone to give Jin Fengyao a call and ask him to come over in the shortest time possible.Jin Fengyao was hanging out with his group of friends at the club, enjoying fine wine and the delightful company of beautiful women, when he got the call. He was just about to comp
