"Jiang Sese, you're making me mad on purpose, aren't you?" Jin Fengchen asked."Of course not. I'm just telling it like it is. Miss Su is your fiancée, isn't she?""Fiancée? Have I ever said this?""No? Why would you accompany Miss Su to do a pre-pregnancy checkup then..."Jiang Sese had no idea what was wrong with her either. Jin Fengchen was unhappy, so was she. She just said whatever that came to mind.Her words reminded Jin Fengchen of something. "Was Jiang Sese also there at the hospital then… No wonder! Her attitude changed after that day!"Did she think I was planning to have a child with another woman? Is this why she has been avoiding me? Am I not worthy of even one ounce of her trust?" "Jiang Sese, do you really not know my feelings for you?""Sorry, I don't. If you're just having a bit of fun, please look for someone else. I'm not interested."Jiang Sese's tone was flat, but only she knew how frantic she was. How could she not know Jin Fengchen's feelings for her?
Jiang Sese finally recovered moments later, and her tears ceased as well.Jin Fengchen let out a sigh. He could only helplessly remind her, "Nothing is going on between Su Qingyin and me. I didn't accompany her on a pre-pregnancy checkup or whatever. I only took her to the hospital because her cousin was having a miscarriage."He never thought that Jiang Sese had so coincidentally seen them together. He loved her dearly, so why would he have a child with another woman...Jiang Sese didn't respond. "Let's go back. We've been out here for a long time," she said flatly.He pursed his lips. He still had things to tell her, but she was already walking away. So, he buried all the words he wanted to say and caught up with her.Xiaobao ran over the moment he saw them. When he saw her reddened eyes, he asked, "What's wrong, Aunt Sese? Did Daddy bully you?"He looked at his father with a guarded look on his face. "What if Daddy bullies Aunt Sese… It's not like I can beat up Daddy to avenge
Jiang Sese thought that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The Jiang and Lan families were the ones who forced her into taking this road, so why were they still not letting her off even now?Remembering everything that happened to her several years ago, all she could feel was the world darkening around her. The helplessness and suffering she experienced six years ago once again rushed to her heart.Her body turned ice-cold. Right now, resentment was all she felt. She hated the Jiang Family for refusing to let go of her. She hated the smug look on Jiang Nuannuan's disgusting face.Lan Sichen berated Jiang Nuannuan. "Are you really going to blow things up?"The Jin and Qin families were all here. One careless move and they could very well offend both families. What would happen to the Jiang and Lan families then..."Why not? She's broken off all ties with our family anyway."Qin Mulan looked at them both. Determined to get to the bottom of things, she asked, "What is it? Y
At the hospital, inside a ward...After the doctor gave Jiang Sese an examination, he said, "Young Master Jin, there are no major issues with Miss Jiang. She was just a little agitated and emotional. She will wake up soon."Jin Fengchen nodded and sighed in relief. Judging from Jiang Sese's behavior earlier, he was worried that she wouldn't wake up any time soon.He stood beside her, looking at her pale face. Recalling what had happened at the party, he couldn't help frowning."What had happened? What caused such a big reaction in her?"He didn't stay long in the ward. When Jin Fengyao, who had been waiting outside, saw his brother, he asked, "Brother, how is my sister-in-law?""She's all right." Jin Fengchen then asked, "What about the party?""Lan Sichen and Jiang Nuannuan have left."How could those two dare to stay at the party after everything that had happened?Jin Fengchen's expression turned dark at the memory of the party. He said coldly, "Find out who gave them the i
Su Qingyin clenched her hands tightly at the thought of everything that had happened tonight—Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese's tender kiss outside the hotel, him throwing all caution to the wind to embrace her, his worried expression when he saw her faint..."What about me?! He said less than three words to me at the party! He didn't even look me straight in the eye!" These thoughts filled her with rabid jealousy. She swore that she would find a way to inform Jin Fengchen and his family about Jiang Sese's past. She would let them see her true face....Inside the car, Qin Mulan was still trying to persuade her father."Dad, do you really think that Jiang Sese and Fengchen are suited for each other?""Why not? One is a handsome man, the other a beautiful woman. They're both so capable, too. Weren't you impressed with Sese's event-planning earlier? Why aren't they suited?" Grandpa Qin replied.Qin Mulan sighed. Had she known that the party was Jiang Sese's work, she wouldn't have… He
Jiang Sese was upset and hurt. She didn't want to keep wallowing in these murky waters or face the past.Jin Fengchen stood still, listening to her every word. Instead of leaving, he stepped forward and pulled her into a hug."Who told you that we don't belong in the same world? Jiang Sese, I don't mind your past, not in the slightest. I don't know what you were like in the past. All I know is the current you."No matter what happens, I'll always stay by your side. Let's face everything together, all right?"The words that drifted into her ears finally caused Jiang Sese's tears to flow. They completely crushed the walls she had built around her heart...She had braved everything all by herself all these years. She thought she would go on living on her own just like this.But, Jin Fengchen entered her life.This man had offered her a hand time and again, surprising her every time.After everything that had happened today, she could no longer bear it. Hanging on to his embrace, s
Shen Shulan felt bad for her daughter, so she stepped up to defend her."You can't blame Nuannuan for that! It wouldn't have turned out like this if Jiang Sese hadn't done something so shameful. Besides, anyone who's truly interested would have been able to investigate it. Our agreement back then was done verbally. She can't do anything to us even if we reveal her past.""Enough. I won't let you off if you bring this up again."Jiang Zhen stormed out furiously, leaving Shen Shulan looking worried."Oh, all right. Nuannuan, listen to your dad. Don't mention this to outsiders anymore. Take good care of yourself. I'll try to persuade your dad."With that said, she chased after her husband.After the two of them were gone, Lan Sichen went to his study.Jiang Nuannuan composed herself on the couch before entering the study as well. She tugged on Lan Sichen's hand and said softly, "Brother Sichen, are you still angry?"Lan Sichen had been giving her the cold shoulder ever since they
Grandpa Qin was in a good mood, so he asked, "Young lady, you have quite strong feelings for my grandson, don't you?"His sudden question caught Jiang Sese off guard. Her cheeks turned red. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.The old man laughed and continued, "Since you're already together, when do you plan on holding your wedding and giving Xiaobao a steady home?"It wasn't easy for his grandson and great-grandson to meet someone they liked. He was also satisfied with Jiang Sese, which was why he was giving them a little push. His future granddaughter-in-law was so outstanding after all! He was sure that many men were after her. He had to get them together soon and remove all worries.Xiaobao was thinking the same thing. He blinked at Jin Fengchen, and then at Jiang Sese. "If Daddy marries Auntie Sese, wouldn't that mean I'd get to see her every day? That'd be great!" His words nearly made Jiang Sese spit out the rice she had just put in her mouth. She wanted to tell the
