That morning, Jiang Sese was upstairs changing Tiantian when the housekeeper came in and told her that she had a guest.“Guest?”Jiang Sese frowned. Who could it be that early in the morning?“Tiantian, finish changing on your own, then head downstairs with your brother for breakfast. Understand?”“Okay.”“That’s a good girl.” Jiang Sese smiled and stroked Tiantian’s little head, then got up and walked out of the room.She went down to the first floor and saw Gu Nian standing in the living room.“Gu Nian!”She ran over wide-eyed and looked around, but realized that Gu Nian was alone. The person that she missed the most was not there.The huge wave of despair swept over her fleeting moment of happiness. Her heart felt sore and she could not breathe.Gu Nian bowed his head respectfully. “Young Mistress.” “Did you just arrive?” Jiang Sese tried to suppress her emotions.“Yes.”“Have you had breakfast?”“No.”Jiang Sese nodded. “Then come join us for breakfast. We’ll talk a
It was nighttime.Lisa had fallen asleep.Bo Gelian stared at Lisa who was sleeping on the bed with clear disgust in his eyes.Throughout the day, she kept pestering him, leaving him no time to deal with the Jiang Sese matter.If that continued, he would not be able to find Jiang Sese.That would not do.He had to find a way to send her back to Italy.He turned and walked out of the room.The moment the door shut, the apparently-sleeping Lisa suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and glared at the door gloomily.As soon as Bo Gelian stepped out, his assistant greeted him immediately.“Sir, Jiang Sese is not in Jin City.”Upon hearing this, Bo Gelian turned and stared at him. “What did you say?”“Our men staked out the Jin house for a day but they didn't see Jiang Sese come out.”Bo Gelian frowned. “So you concluded that she is not in Jin City just like that?”“We also questioned the Jin family servants. Jiang Sese is indeed not here.”“Then where is she?”“The Capital.”Bo
On the night of the birthday party, Fang Yuchen purposely did not get off work earlier. Not only that, he even worked overtime until about eight o’clock before he slowly departed to the Ye family’s residence.While on the way, he received a call from his mother, Shang Ying.When he answered the call, he could hear his mother’s angry voice through the phone. “You brat, you’re doing this on purpose, right?” Fang Yuchen smiled. “Mom. If I said it wasn’t on purpose, would you believe me?”“Do you think I would believe you?” Shang Ying asked in return.“You won’t.”Fang Yuchen arrived at a red traffic light and braked slowly. He said, “Mom, I had a conference call at the last minute. That’s why I’m late. I didn’t do it on purpose.”“You better be. Where are you now?”“I’m on my way to the Ye family’s residence.”“Did you bring any presents?”Fang Yuchen turned aside and looked at the bag in the passenger seat. He replied, “Don’t worry. I brought it along.”“Good. When you arri
Ye Xiaoyi’s friends were all very noisy people. The moment they heard Fang Yuchen was Ye Xiaoyi’s boyfriend, they kept trying to toast to him.Fang Yuchen was not used to drinking before eating. After he drank a few glasses of liquor, his stomach started to feel upset.Fang Yuchen put down the glass and pressed his hand against his stomach. Then, he explained, “I’m not Xiaoyi’s boyfriend.”“Not her boyfriend?” Everyone looked at Ye Xiaoyi. Her expression turned slightly upset, and she quickly said, “Our family is planning to arrange a marriage for us. Indeed, he isn’t really my boyfriend. He’s my fiance.”“Arranged marriage?” Fang Yuchen frowned more. “Why didn’t I know about that?”“May-maybe Uncle and Aunty forgot to inform you,” Ye Xiaoyi said in a panic. She never expected him not to know.“Is that so?”Fang Yuchen’s lips twitched, and his expression turned icy. He said coldly, “I don’t feel well. I’m going out to take a breather.”He turned around and went out immediatel
It was a pure silence all around and the only faint sound of conversations from the villa could be heard.Ye Xiaoyi kept staring at Fang Yuchen. She refused to speak because she was waiting for him to give her an acceptable explanation.However, she seemed to have forgotten that at that point in time, she was only a familiar stranger to Fang Yuchen. No matter who he was with or what he did, there was no need for him to explain to her.That was why he did not say a word.In the end, it was Ye Xiaoyi who gave in first. She could not resist and asked, “Hey, don’t you have anything to say to me?”“Say what?” Fang Yuchen asked in an indifferent voice. His expression was so calm that nothing could affect him.“Explain…” Ye Xiaoyi was lost for words. She thought she had the means, but since he questioned back, she lost her words. She was unable to say anything.She took a deep breath and said, “Fine. I’ll forget about you and the woman today, but I disallow you to have any contact
Ye Xiaoyi went downstairs and searched for Liang Xinwei. She told her, “I’m cutting the birthday cake later, but the candles and everything else are still upstairs. Can you help me get them?”“Miss Ye. Wouldn’t it be better if you had your maid retrieve them from upstairs?” Liang Xinwei refused politely.It was rare for Ye Xiaoyi to speak to her so politely. That was exactly why she was wary. She was worried there was a trap waiting for her upstairs.“I’m asking you to retrieve it, so go get it!” Ye Xiaoyi scolded her with a stern face.Liang Xinwei knew she could not refuse her request. Without a choice, she gave in and agreed, “Alright. I’ll go upstairs.”Immediately, Ye Xiaoyi smiled since she agreed. “On the second floor, the second room from the left.”“Alright.”Liang Xinwei then ran into the villa. She did not notice that Ye Xiaoyi had a sly triumphant smile behind her.A good show will be up soon.Liang Xinwei found the room Ye Xiaoyi mentioned on the second floor. The
When the door was knocked open, Liang Xinwei hastily grabbed the blanket beside her and wrapped herself. Then, she just hid at the corner of the bed.“Snap!”Ye Chenyun came into the room and turned on the light. Then, the room lit up brightly. At his first glance, he saw Big Guy standing at the side.Big Guy put on a flattering smile. He greeted, “Brother Yun, long time no see.”Ye Chenyun looked past him and saw the woman behind. She was trembling on the bed. Immediately, he grew furious and questioned, “Big Guy, have you gone mad? How dare you do such a thing in my house!”“Brother Yun, please don’t misunderstand. I just drank too much and got excited,” Big Guy quickly explained. “Besides, she’s the one who seduced me.”“She seduced you?” Ye Chenyun got so mad and laughed. “There are people who would try to seduce people like you?”“That’s right. She’s the one who seduced me,” Big Guy replied confidently without remorse.At the same time, a weak voice resonated in the room,
After Liang Xinwei got changed, she followed behind Ye Chenyun and went back downstairs.“It’s my sister’s birthday party today, so I’m truly sorry. Can I request you pretend nothing happened?”Ye Chenyun said his request to Liang Xinwei before they went downstairs.Liang Xinwei looked at him and had a vague mocking smile on her face. She said, “Mister Ye, you treat your sister so well.”Ye Chenyun could hear the ridicule in her words. He smiled awkwardly and asked carefully, “Please?”Liang Xinwei nodded. Perhaps, his sincere attitude touched her. She said, “Sure, but you better give me an acceptable answer to this matter.”“No worries,” Ye Chenyun promised.After she went downstairs, Liang Xinwei looked for her manager who was in charge of the birthday party. She applied for emergency leave from her so she could leave early.After such a thing happened, she lost her mood to continue working.“Did something happen? Why do you need to leave?” asked the manager. She noticed Lia
