“You saw him?” Liang Xinwei’s face was full of apprehension. Jiang Sese smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I saw him buying flowers at the florist.” She walked to the living room to pick up the flowers on the sofa before handing it to Liang Xinwei. “Weiwei, ha now.” “Tiantian, drink some milk first.” Gu Nian pulled out a bottle of milk in the nick of time and handed it to her. “Yeah, just fill your stomach first.” Jiang Sese turned to look at Xiaobao and Anan. “Do you two want some milk?” “No, I’ll wait till mom is home to eat.” Anan shook his head in refusal. Xiaobao shook his head as well, “Me too.” “Then Tiantian will drink it on her own.” Jiang Sese put the teat on for Tiantian. Just as Tiantian was about to finish drinking the milk, Liang Xinwei returned. The moment she opened the door, she was shocked to see the entire house filled with balloons and ribbons. “What’s the occasion?” She asked curiously as she looked at Jiang Sese approaching her. Jiang Sese gave her a
Jiang Sese gripped the phone tightly, the room was so quiet her breathing was audible.“What do you think?” Bo Gelian’s voice was light as a feather. Jiang Sese closed her eyes and bit her lower lip. After a long while she finally spat out one word, “Fine.” Bo Gelian laughed lightly, “That’s great. I’ll be waiting.” After he said that, he hung up. Jiang Sese put down her phone and sat on the bed for the longest time before she got up and walked out of the room. Fang Yuchen was exiting the study after finishing his work to see Jiang Sese walking out of her room. “Sese, didn’t you say you wanted to… go to sleep?” When she got closer, Fang Yuchen noticed that she had a grim expression. His smile instantly evaporated and he asked worriedly, “What’s the matter?” “Bo Gelian contacted me of his own accord.” Jiang Sese stopped in front of him and recounted what had just happened. Fang Yuchen frowned deeply when she finished, “Do you intend to acquiesce?” “I don’t see any oth
Late that night. A shadowy figure was lurking outside the old Fang Residence, their gaze directed inside the residence. This intruder was none other than Carl. He had promised Lisa that he would take care of Jiang Sese, but it had been more than a week and he had not been able to accomplish his mission. The key reason was that he had no way of infiltrating the old Fang Residence. Even the perimeter wall was monitored, not to mention that there were guards patrolling the grounds round the clock. It really was so secure that not even a fly could make it’s way in. He watched the old Fang Residence in the darkness with annoyance. If he did not complete his mission, Madam Lisa would never forgive him. He grit his teeth and decided to force his way in. Just as he was about to storm in, two men suddenly appeared to block his way. “Who are you?” He gave the two men clad in black threatening looks. They were foreigners, like him. Immediately, he had a thought and his eyes
“Get off!” Bo Gelian snapped coldly. Lisa’s expression changed, and she let go of him unhappily. She kept her gaze on her cold, handsome face. Even if she had prepared herself, she could not help but feel nervous. “Why are you being so fierce with me?” Lisa maintained her composure as she whined at him. “Why didn’t you return to Italy?” Bo Gelian asked sharply. “I…” Lisa’s eyes shifted, and she pulled out an excuse, “I couldn’t bear to leave you, so I did not return.” “Is that so?” Bo Gelian did not believe her at all. She was not unwilling to leave him at all, but rather she could not get over her grudge with Jiang Sese. “Of course.” Lisa lifted her head arrogantly, pretending to be offended. Bo Gelian laughed coldly. “Lisa, you don’t need to pretend in front of me. We both know what you’ve done.” What did he mean by that? Did he already know about Jiang Sese’s injury? Even though Lisa started to feel guilty, she still forced her confidence to say, “I don’t know
The next morning, after breakfast, Fang Yuchen took Jiang Sese to the hospital with him. Fang Xueman was originally very happy to see Jiang Sese. However when she saw her wounded arm, her smile instantly evaporated. She asked anxiously, “What’s all this? Why are you hurt?” “Mom, don’t worry, I just tripped as I was going down the stairs.” Jiang Sese had already thought about an excuse long before she arrived. “How could you be so careless?” Fang Xueman’s heart ached. Jiang Sese smiled, “Mom, it’s almost better now, I’m fine.” “That’s good then.” Fang Xueman let out a sigh of relief. She turned to look at Fang Yuchen, “Yuchen, how did you have the time to come today?” “I came to see Grandpa, so I made some time.” Fang Yuchen said. Fang Xueman nodded, “You should go then, we can talk later.” “Mom, we’ll go see Grandpa. You should have breakfast first.” Jiang Sese said as she left with Fang Yuchen. Fang Xueman smiled helplessly, “Okay.” After seeing them out, Fang Xuem
Jiang Zhen quickly explained, ‘Xueman, I didn't mean it like that. I know even if I apologized ten thousand times, it won't be able to erase the harm that I have done to you and Sese.”“As long as you are aware of that.”Fang Xueman did not want to pursue the matter anymore and just said, “You don't need to say anything else. Come sit down, I haven't finished my breakfast yet.”Jiang Zhen’s mouth twitched as if he wanted to say something, but he refrained and merely walked over and sat down.The room grew quiet again. Fang Xueman ate her breakfast while Jiang Zhen watched quietly. The atmosphere was unusually harmonious.Jiang Sese secretly opened the door and peeked inside. Taking in the scene within, she could not help but smile, and then gently closed the door.“What are you doing?”The sudden sound from behind startled her. She jumped and turned around to give Fang Yuchen a smack. She then said, “Cousin, are you trying to scare me to death?”Fang Yuchen raised his eyebrows,
Shang Ying set down the package of sugar and turned to look at her suspiciously, “Why don't you like Xiaoyi? You’ve only met her once.”Jiang Sese smiled, “Aunty, for some people, one only needs to meet them once to know who they are inside.”Shang Ying suddenly became curious, “Then tell me, what kind of person is Xiaoyi?” “Can I speak frankly?” asked Jiang Sese.She did not want to upset her Aunt if she spoke her mind.Shang Ying nodded, “Yes. It’s fine.”“Then I shall speak my mind. Please don't get angry.” Jiang Sese reminded her in advance.“I won’t.”After obtaining assurance from Shang Ying, Jiang Sese spoke her mind, “Ye Xiaoyi is not as lovable as you see on the surface. The first time I met her, Weiwei accidentally stained her clothes, and she forcefully demanded that she be compensated.”“Well, her clothes are ruined, it’s natural that she be angry, and she has to be compensated, there is nothing wrong with that.”Anticipating that she would defend Ye Xiaoyi, Jian
Liang Xinwei brought Gu Nian to a seat.“Please have a seat. I’ll go talk to my manager.”Liang Xinwei turned to leave, but Gu Nian suddenly grabbed her hand.She turned back, her gaze falling toward the hand holding her wrist and she frowned slightly.Gu Nian realized that his actions might have been too abrupt, and he quickly retracted his hand. He smiled awkwardly. “I just wanted to ask if it would interrupt your work?”“No, I’m just about to change shifts right about now.”Liang Xinwei smiled at him, then strode toward the counter.“Is that your boyfriend?” her colleague asked curiously.Liang Xinwei smiled and shook her head. “No, just a regular friend.”“Are you sure?” Her colleague did not believe her. “He’s been watching you. Is he really just a regular friend?”Liang Xinwei turned back to look at Gu Nian. Gu Nian saw it and nodded politely.“Don’t overthink it. He’s just a friend.”Liang Xinwei looked around. “Where is the manager?”“In the back.”Liang Xinwei wa
