Fang Yuchen waited outside with Shang Ying for about thirty minutes before the door was opened again.Mo Xie walked out of the room first.“How is she?” Shang Ying quickly went up to him and asked anxiously.“We’ve kept her condition under control for now,” Mo Xie replied.Shang Ying was finally less worried. She let out a sigh of relief as she asked, “What exactly happened to Sese?”“After Han Yu and I checked, the pathogen in the Young Mistress’s body may be out of our control soon,” Mo Xie explained. As he shared the latest update, his expression turned grave. The atmosphere between them stiffened instantly and became depressing.All of them were well aware that if the pathogen became uncontrollable, terrible consequences would happen. “You guys have to find some way.” Shang Ying panicked. “You can’t just watch Sese be tortured to death by the pathogen.”As she said that, she lost control and cried again.Fang Yuchen’s eyes were teary too. He hugged his mother and tried
Fang Yuchen made a trip to Jin City himself. When he arrived at Jin Group, Jin Fengyao was still in a meeting, so the assistant brought him to the reception room and waited.“Mister Fang. Chairman requested that you wait a while. The meeting will be ending soon.”Fang Yuchen smiled at the assistant politely and said, “Sure. No worries.”About ten minutes later, Jin Fengyao finally appeared as he pushed the door open and came in hurriedly.“Yuchen, sorry to keep you waiting.”Fang Yuchen stood up and smiled as he shook his head. “No worries.”Jin Fengyao stretched his arm and signaled him to have a seat. “I already know about my brother and sister-in-law’s issue. Sorry to trouble you.”“I’m not troubled. Sese’s the troubled one,” Fang Yuchen said and sighed. “Sese isn’t in a good condition.”“Because of the pathogen?” Jin Fengyao asked.Fang Yuchen nodded and explained, “Yes. Mo Xie said the pathogen showed signs of reactivation. However, they’ve kept her condition under co
“So, what’s going on?”The moment they went back to the room, Song Qingwan turned around and squinted at Jin Fengyao.Jin Fengyao looked at his wife blankly and asked, “What about what’s going on?”Song Qingwan stared at Jin Fengyao and said confidently, “Don’t pretend. You both must be hiding something from me.”“Is that so?” Jin Fengyao’s gaze flickered as he said, “I… How could I hide anything from you? Don’t think too much.”“Jin Fengyao. I’m your wife, and I know you best. You didn’t even look me in the eyes just now. Did you know that? You’re feeling guilty!”Jin Fengyao fell into a short silence and smiled bitterly. “Wanwan, since you already know we’re hiding something from you, you should be able to surmise that it isn’t good news.”Hearing that, Song Qingwan frowned. “Did something really bad happen?”Jin Fengyao nodded. “That’s why I don’t want you or my parents to know.”“What exactly happened?” Song Qingwan’s eyes widened suddenly as she asked, “Did something happ
Shang Ying put the tray on the stone table. After that, she leaned forward, hugged Tiantian, and kissed her cheek hard. With a bright smile, she asked Tiantian, “Tiantian, did you miss Grandaunty?”“Yes! Tiantian misses Grandaunty every day,” Tiantian replied in a loud voice.“Oh?” Shang Ying raised her brows and asked, “You truly missed Grandaunty, or did you miss my homemade cookies?”“I missed both, but I missed Grandaunty the most,” Tiantian said and wrapped her arms around Shang Ying’s neck. Then, she nuzzled her little face close to her affectionately.Shang Ying was melting from the sweetness of the little girl. She quickly put her down and gave her a cookie, “This is a new flavor. You’ll be the first to try this.”“Grandaunty, thank you!”Tiantian had a bite and her eyes gleamed with joy instantly. “So yummy!”“Really? Then all these are yours now,” Shang Ying said and patted her head.Jiang Sese glanced at that plate of biscuits. When she saw there were a lot of them,
Meanwhile, Jiang Sese brought Xiaobao out from the dining room. Since she saw what was happening in front of her, she asked intentionally, “Tiantian, what are you trying to make your uncle do now?”Jiang Sese’s sudden voice scared Tiantian and made her jump. When she saw Jiang Sese walking toward her, she quickly hid and buried herself in Fang Yuchen’s chest.Fang Yuchen carried her and stood up. He smiled and said, “She’s not asking anything from me. You scared her.”“Cousin, I’m her mother. I know her the best,” Jiang Sese said. She implied there was no need for him to cover up for Tiantian.Tiantian turned around and puffed up her cheeks. She said angrily, “I only wanted to eat some cookies.”Hearing that, Jiang Sese stared at her angrily and asked, “Have you forgotten how many cookies you had yesterday?”Tiantian refused to talk. After all, she finished a whole plate of cookies by herself.When Jiang Sese saw how Tiantian puffed her cheeks and looked sad, she could not help
Anan went to watch the television for a short while after he finished dinner. Then, he went back to his room and slept.When Liang Xinwei was finally done cleaning up the kitchen, she went to Anan’s room and checked if he covered his blanket properly. Then, she turned off the light for him.After that, she took her phone with her and sat on the sofa in the living room.She opened her phone and checked her call log. When she saw the missed call, she hesitated. She wondered if she should try and call one last time.However, even after a long hesitation, she did not call.In the end, she just turned off her phone and set it aside. Then, she leaned backward and sunk into her sofa. She raised her head and stared at the ceiling blankly.She recalled when she first met Fang Yuchen.At that time, Fang Yuchen asked her with a suspicious tone, “You’re the driver?”Perhaps, he never expected a girl like her to work as a driver on call at such a late hour.That was why she patted her ches
“Good boy.” Liang Xinwei smiled as she patted Xiaobao’s head. She then turned around and told Anan, “Anan, did you greet Aunty Sese yet?”Anan stood up immediately when he heard that and greeted Jiang Sese, “Aunty Sese.”Jiang Sese laughed. “You don’t have to be so formal. Make yourself at home.”“Can I?” Anan asked cautiously.“Of course, you can.”When Anan obtained her full consent, he looked around his surroundings and exuded a hint of envy in his eyes.He hoped he could live in such a large home.“Anan,” Liang Xinwei said.Anan turned around and looked at Liang Xinwei. He saw his mother shake her head lightly.Anan had always been smart. He understood his mother immediately. He quickly sat properly and dared not to look around so freely.Seeing that, Jiang Sese said, “Weiwei, don’t be such a stranger.”Liang Xinwei patted Anan’s head. Meanwhile, a helpless smile appeared on her lips as she explained, “Sis Sese, Anan’s still young. I don’t want him to desire things he sh
“You can’t say it that way. What if he just lacks your affection?”Jiang Sese looked at Liang Xinwei thoughtfully.“How is that possible?” Liang Xinwei forced a smile. She would not dare have such a delusion.“Don’t think so lowly of yourself. You’re a great person too,” Jiang Sese said.She was not saying that to comfort her. It was her honest words.Liang Xinwei was only a young girl of about twenty years old. However, she had to take up the responsibility to raise a child as young as eight. It was already impressive for her to be the sole breadwinner.Liang Xinwei smiled at her gratefully and said, “Sis Sese, thank you for not looking down on me.”Jiang Sese smiled and urged, “Weiwei, don’t look down on yourself. You’re not any worse than another person. Do you know that?”“I know,” Liang Xinwei replied. She did not want to continue to dwell on that conversation, so she changed the topic and said, “Sis Sese, can I go upstairs and check on the children?”Jiang Sese happily n
