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
As he was getting off work, Fang Yuchen received a call from his mother.“Yuchen, you must buy the gift today. Don’t come home unless you’ve bought it.”Being threatened by his mother over the phone, Fang Yuchen did not know whether to laugh or cry, “The party is in a few more days. Is it necessary to be so anxious about it?”“I’m afraid that you will forget. Anyway, you must get this done today.”Fang Yuchen's mother's tone made Fang Yuchen feel helpless. He sighed. “Alright, Mother. I promise to do it today.”Only then did Shang Ying contentedly hang up the phone.“Youngest Aunty, don’t you think you’re being a bit too much?” asked Jiang Sese, who was sitting by the side.She knew that her cousin did not fancy Ye Xiaoyi, yet, still forced him to buy her a birthday gift.“Am I?” asked Shang Ying instead. Jiang Sese laughed dryly. “Yes, a little.”“Then so be it,” said Shang Ying nonchalantly.She walked over to the other end of the couch and sat down. Jiang Sese hurriedly
“Are you sure a ring is a good idea?” Fang Yuchen tilted his head and looked at her suspiciously.“Why not?” asked Liang Xin instead.Fang Yuchen smiled. “Of course it's not a good idea. Ye Xiaoyi and I are not even friends. What would she think if I suddenly gave her a ring?”“Is she not your arranged marriage partner?”Liang Xinwei usually would not ask such a personal question, but she could not help it. She wanted to hear what he really thought about Ye Xiaoyi.“Arranged marriage?” Fang Yuchen frowned and helplessly explained. “I was tricked by my mother that day. I didn't even know that it was a match-making session with Ye Xiaoyi.”“So, you’re not getting married yet?”“I…” Fang Yuchen was about to answer when he suddenly realized that the topic was going off tangent and he smiled helplessly. “We’re here for a gift. We’ll talk about this later.”Liang Xinwei also realized that she had overstepped her bounds and hurriedly explained, “I was just asking. I didn't mean to pry
“For me?”Ye Xiaoyi still did not believe it and cast an inquiring look at Fang Yuchen. “Is it really for me?”Fang Yuchen nodded. “Yes.”As soon as she received an affirmative answer, Ye Xiaoyi’s expression immediately took an about turn. She smiled from ear to ear, “Yuchen, you should have told me from the start. I misunderstood you.”She pretended and complained to Fang Yuchen.Fang Yuchen reluctantly forced a smile.She started calling Xinwei a homewrecker right out the bat. Who would have the mood to explain anything?“Take it off.” Ye Xiaoyi glared at Liang Xinwei.The commanding tone made Liang Xinwei a little uncomfortable. However, she remained silent, took the necklace off, and handed it over.Ye Xiaoyi examined the necklace, scrunched her eyebrows, and declared unceremoniously. “This isn’t stylish at all. I don't like it,” she said as she tossed the necklace back to Liang Xinwei.The startled Liang Xinwei frantically caught it. If it was damaged, she would not be a
“How was it?”Shang Ying asked as soon as she saw Jiang Sese put down the phone.Jiang Sese just shrugged and said, “They have bought the gift.”Shang Ying heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”She looked at Jiang Sese pensively, then asked in puzzlement, “Is something wrong?”“They bumped into Xiaoyi while shopping. Yuchen went shopping with her in the mall,” said Jiang Sese.Shang Ying was overjoyed. “What a coincidence. Now there is no way for Yuchen to refuse.”Jiang Sese smiled but said nothing.She felt sorry for Liang Xinwei.If she had not asked for Liang Xinwei’s help, Liang Xiwei would not have encountered such an embarrassing situation.She sighed as she thought about it. She had to find an opportunity to apologize to Weiwei.Unexpectedly, Fang Yuchen returned home early.“Aren't you accompanying Xiaoyi? Why are you back so early?” Shang Ying glanced at the clock on the wall.It was not even nine o'clock.“I didn't accompany her.” The expression on Fang Yuche
Jiang Sese walked into the study but did not see Fang Yuchen.‘Did he not say that there he still had work to do? Why was he not here?’“Sese.”Jiang Sese was startled by the sudden voice behind her. She turned around and stared at Fang Yuchen irritably. “Why didn’t you make a sound?”Fang Yuchen smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry I scared you.”Jiang Sese stroked her chest and said, “I was almost scared to death.”Fang Yuchen smiled before changing the subject. “Do you need something from me?”“Yes.” Jiang Sese nodded. “Did you want to ask if I really am interested in Weiwei?” Fang Yuchen asked as he walked toward his desk.Jiang Sese looked at him. “Since you know what my question was going to be, then please explain.”Fang Yuchen looked up at her and sat down casually. “Do you want to hear the truth?”“Of course.”Why else would she be asking?Fang Yuchen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, “I don't like Weiwei, and I don't like Ye Xiaoyi.”“I can see that.” Jia
The next day, Jiang Sese took the two children to the hospital to visit the Old Man and her mother.Having not seen the children for a long while, Fang Xueman cried tears of joy when she saw them.She held the two children tightly in her arms as if fearing that they might vanish at any moment.Upon seeing this, Jiang Sese could not help but feel guilty. It was because of her that her mother and two children could not meet as often.“Grandma, how are you feeling?” Xiaobao asked, concerned, like a young adult.Fang Xueman smiled and nodded. “I’m feeling much better.”Tiantian looked up at her. “When will you come back to live with us? We miss you very much.”“I will come home once your great-grandfather regains consciousness.” Fang Xueman rubbed her head lovingly.“Then when will Great-grandfather wake up?” asked Tiantian again.“Soon.”“How soon is soon?”“Soon means…” Fang Xueman did not know how to reply.Jiang Sese came over. “Tiantian, why do you have so many questions t
The doctor’s brows frowned periodically as he examined the Old Man. Jiang Sese’s heart raced as she watched.“How is he, doctor?” asked Jiang Sese as soon as the doctor finished his examinations.“The old man is doing well.”Jiang Sese breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good.”Seeing that she seemed very anxious, the doctor smiled. “You don't need to worry. He is recovering very well; he just hasn't regained consciousness yet.”“So when will he wake up?” asked Jiang Sese.“I have said to talk to him often to stimulate his brain and he will wake up soon.”Jiang Sese nodded. “I know this. My grandfather can now occasionally move his fingers and can even shed tears, but there is no sign of him regaining consciousness.” “You can’t rush these things. You and your family must be patient.”Jiang Sese smiled embarrassedly. “We are just really anxious and hope that my grandfather can regain consciousness as soon as possible.”The doctor smiled. “I understand your feelings, but you ju
