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
After lunch, Fang Yuchen prepared to head back to the office.As he was heading out, Shang Ying called out, “Yuchen, wait a moment.”Fang Yuchen turned. “What is it, Mother?”“It will be Xiaoyi’s birthday soon, and the Ye family has invited us for the birthday celebrations. Make some time to buy a gift.”“Me? Buy a gift?” Fang Yuchen thought he had misheard.He did not know what to buy as a birthday gift for a girl.“That’s right,” Shang Ying retorted. “You must do this task for me.”Fang Yuchen frowned helplessly. From the corner of his eyes, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jiang Sese not far away. His eyes suddenly lit up. “Sese, perhaps you could buy the gift on my behalf. I'm too busy to leave work.”“Huh?” Jiang Sese pointed at herself with a surprised expression. “Me?”“You’re a woman, so you know what girls like. So, I’ll leave this to you.”After saying this, he quickly left, not giving her a chance to refuse.“Fang Yuchen!” Shang Ying ran after him, but was onl
In order to locate Jin Fengchen, Gu Nian sent men to various cities all over Italy to look. Unfortunately, they could not uncover any clues.The whole office was engulfed in a depressive atmosphere.Gu Nian pulled off his tie irritably. “Damn it! Where could Shangguan Yuan have hidden the Young Master? Why can't we find him?!”Qisha glanced at him as she pondered, “Could they have left Italy long ago?”He Shuhan, who was standing by the window, immediately walked over and said, “I think so too.”Gu Nian looked at them.He continued, “We’ve searched almost all of Italy, and there is no trace of the Young Master. Think about it; Shangguan Yuan is just one woman. It is not possible that she did not even leave one trace behind.”Qisha nodded. “You’re right. If it was me, I can't guarantee that I would not leave any tracks behind.”“The only logical explanation is that they are no longer in Italy.”Gu Nian scratched his head, and said impatiently, “Then quickly check if there are a
Fu Jingyun waited until it was dark, but Curry did not make an appearance.He could not help himself and gave Catalina a call.“Where are you?” Catalina’s impatient voice was heard immediately after the call connected.“Still outside the research facility.”“Fu Jingyun, are you crazy?” Catalina’s voice increased several octaves. “What the hell are you trying to do?”Fu Jingyun stared intently at the entrance of the facility and asked in a low voice, “Is Curry inside?”“What does it matter if he’s there or not?” Catalina felt that she was about to go crazy. She took a deep breath and continued, “You promised me that you would never see Jiang Sese again; there is no need to help her with anything else.”It was as if Fu Jingyun did not hear her as he continued to ask, “Does Curry leave the facility? Or does he never leave his laboratory, like before?“You!" Catherine was so furious that she could not speak.“I need you to tell me the answer.”Again with the ‘I need you to’. Cata
