After rushing Lu Zheng into ER where he was given a series of examinations, they were told that he might seem severely injured, but those bodyguards had had reservations when they hit him. This was probably because they didn't want to take responsibility for any severe consequences. As a result, his injuries had mostly been superficial.The doctor addressed Lu Zheng's wounds, then gave him some medicines to take home. After that, they were ready to leave the hospital.Upon leaving, Lu Zheng hesitated, then stammered. "I'm sorry. You must have been frightened."Jiang Sese found his apology confusing. After all, she should be the one thanking him. Without Lu Zheng, Mr. Wei probably would have gotten what he wanted.Jiang Sese smiled gently. "Don't worry about it; you've done nothing wrong. They went too far.""But..."Lu Zheng paused, glanced at Jiang Sese, and continued. "You went there with me, which made you my responsibility. I still feel sorry for what happened."Jiang Sese w
It was very late by the time they got back home.Concerned with Xiaobao, Jiang Sese stopped a maid and asked, "Where's the young master?"The maid replied immediately, "He's already asleep."Probably because of her mother's nature, Jiang Sese was still a little anxious even if the boy was already in bed. She just had to check up on him. Hence, she glanced at Jin Fengchen and was ready to go to Xiaobao's bedroom.However, that glance displeased Jin Fengchen. He stopped Jiang Sese and dragged her back to their own room.He had made sure that he didn't hold her too hard when he pulled Jiang Sese, so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable in any way.Jiang Sese wasn't happy with the way he handled her either, and sounded displeased when she said, "Fengchen, what are you doing? I need to check up on Xiaobao.""The maid told you already that he's asleep. They're specialized in taking care of kids, and I'm sure they wouldn't lie to us. I'm the one you should keep company." After that, he
An awkward silence filled the car after that. All of a sudden, an idea seemed to strike Jin Fengchen, and he asked, "Fengyao, do you know any restaurant in the city that's both romantic and has good food?"Jin Fengyao didn't think much of it, and said casually, "Romantic? Go to one of those Western-style restaurants for couples and have a candlelight dinner."Jin Fengchen wasn't satisfied with the answer. Frowning, he asked, "Is that all? Do you know of some place that'll look like I put thought into it?"Only then did Jin Fengyao smell something fishy, and he asked immediately, "What plan do you have?"Jin Fengchen's face was unperturbed, but the words out of his mouth were shocking. "I'm going to propose to her."Jin Fengyao was stunned for a moment before he came back to himself, and he almost jumped out of the car. With eyes lit up, he said, "How could you be so calm when making such a big announcement? I'm impressed."Hearing that, Jin Fengchen glanced at him, and said indif
After Jiang Sese got back home, Xiaobao wouldn't let her out of his sight. He kept nagging her, asking her to read him a "Tom and Jerry" story, which made Mrs. Jin a little jealous."So, you've forgotten all about Grandma as soon as Mommy's home. Is that it?"Recognizing his grandmother's tone, the smart boy jumped out of Jiang Sese's arms, kissed Mrs. Jin on the face, then said sweetly, "Of course not. I like Grandma, too. But Daddy says that I have to protect Mommy when he's not around. I remember that."Hearing that, Mrs. Jin squeezed his chubby cheeks, and chided him with a smile. "You're such a smart cookie, aren't you?"Jin Fengchen got back home to find these three bantering in the living room, which put him in a good mood. He couldn't help asking, "You're all so happy. What are you talking about?""Your smart little boy is doing everything he can to make me happy. Why, you're back early today," said Mrs. Jin with a smile, after glancing at Xiaobao.Jin Fengchen sat down n
Smiling, he walked over to the bed, untied his bathrobe with one hand, and lay down next to Jiang Sese.She couldn't help opening her eyes when she felt the mattress sink from his weight. The first thing she saw was Jin Fengchen's perfect pecs. When she moved her eyes down his body, she saw...She flushed with shyness and wanted to turn away, but he didn't give her that chance. He then pressed his lips onto hers in his domineering manner.His lips felt cool, which was in stark contrast to how hot his body was.Before long, Jiang Sese surrendered to his gentle touches. Her eyes became unfocused and her body temperature seemed to be rising, making her skin almost too hot to the touch.Seeing all the marks he had left on Jiang Sese's body, Jin Fengchen was very pleased...."Mommy! Mommy! Open the door!"Early the next morning, they were woken up by Xiaobao. Hearing the boy's voice, Jiang Sese nudged the man next to her.Jin Fengchen wasn't pleased to be woken up like this, but h
At that moment, Jiang Sese was too surprised to utter a word. Pressing both hands over her mouth, she stared speechlessly at Jin Fengchen with teary eyes.Touched, she was so overwhelmed with happiness and excitement that she didn't know how to describe her feelings.The fireworks kept going off overhead, separating the two of them from the noises outside. They looked into each other's eyes.It was as if the two of them were the only people left in this world.Seeing that Sese wouldn't reply, Jin Fengchen had no choice but to go on. "This might seem too sudden for you, but I've been giving it a lot of thought lately, and had put it off until today. It has taken me so long because all the plans I came up with seemed perfunctory to me. Still, I want you to see that I've always wanted to marry you. Since no time is better than now, why don't we let all the stars be our witnesses?"He couldn't help looking up at the sky after those words, then went on. "Most of these stars belong to s
The following day, there was a knock on the door before sunrise.It didn't take a genius to figure out that it was Xiaobao again. He knew where his parents were this time, so he came to them the first thing in the morning.Probably having learned from their past experience, they both got dressed much faster this time.As soon as the door was opened, Xiaobao rushed in like a gust of wind and threw his arms around Jiang Sese. "Mommy, the view up here in this resort is great! Can we go have a picnic? And I want to fly a kite, too."Rubbing his head, Jiang Sese said gently, "Sure."Next to them, Jin Fengchen grew a little impatient. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "Xiaobao, aren't you going to invite your dad to fly the kite with you?"Xiaobao found that suggestion reasonable. After some thought, he nodded, then said sweetly, "Daddy, can you buy us the picnic blanket, some food, and a kite? Thank you, Daddy!"Jin Fengchen shook his head at the smart kid's request, unable to decide if
Although Jiang Sese had heard about Zifeng's arrival, she didn't think much of it, for she knew that Jin Fengchen loved her. She believed that if she loved someone, she had to trust him completely and she shouldn't have any doubts about him.At noon, Jiang Sese got a message from Jin Fengchen, telling her to come to his office for lunch, so she went upstairs right away.She arrived at Jin Fengchen's floor to find a newly set up secretary's desk and noticed the person behind it. "She has to be Zifeng, the rumored new secretary. She's indeed very pretty."Unlike Jiang Sese's gentleness, Zifeng had an aggressive quality to her beauty, and that made Jiang Sese a little uncomfortable.A war between two women was an invisible one, and it started when their eyes met.The assistant greeted Jiang Sese with a smile as soon as she arrived. "Sister Sese, there you are. Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Jin's new secretary, Zifeng."Zifeng, this is Miss Jiang Sese, the president's fiancee, and
