Once they were ready, the Jin Family's chauffeur drove them to the mall. Xiaobao was practically jumping with excitement, as this was his first time shopping with Jiang Sese."Aunt Sese, is there anything that you want to buy?"Jiang Sese thought about it, but couldn't come up with anything."What about you, Xiaobao? Do you want anything?" she asked, smiling."I want to buy many pretty clothes and tasty food for you."The little boy spoke so earnestly that Jiang Sese laughed. She grabbed his hand and walked into the mall.The two of them walked around aimlessly until Xiaobao came to a sudden stop. Jiang Sese followed his line of sight and saw a parent-and-child matching outfit displayed in the store window.She stopped to stare as well. Xiaobao tugged on her hand and asked cheerfully, "Aunt Sese, why don't we get matching parent-and-child clothes?"Only family members would wear matching parent-and-child clothing, so his request caught Jiang Sese off guard. She didn't reject hi
Right then, a man appeared just in time to catch Han Jing. He looked at everyone on the scene and asked, "What's going on?"The man was dressed in a black suit. Like Han Jing, he looked like he was 27 or 28.The moment Han Jing saw him, she leaned into his embrace pitifully. "A'Ning, I came here to get you a necktie but I ran into a former coworker. Not only did she snatch what I wanted, but she even hit me… Please get someone to throw her out of the mall immediately!"The man called A'Ning flew into a rage. He called for the security guards and said furiously, "Guards, throw this mother-and-son pair out!"A smug smile crossed Han Jing's face. She might have been fired, but she managed to snag this man, who doted on her in every way possible. So what if she was fired? She didn't have to worry about food or clothes now. Her life couldn't get any better.A'Ning was the President of the Ning Group as well as one of the shareholders of this mall.Han Jing had been unhappy for a long
Although what Han Jing did was far from serious and she would probably get no more than a few hours of detention at the police station, the last thing she wanted was to offend Jin Fengchen. Her dignity was of no importance.Jiang Sese ignored Han Jing. After the wicked slander that this woman had spread about her and Xiaobao, Jiang Sese had no intention to speak up for her. At that thought, Jiang Sese said to Jin Fengchen. "Let's go."Jin Fengchen nodded. The three of them then left the mall.Han Jing had no choice but to give President Ning a pleading look. However, to disassociate himself from the mess, President Ning was long gone. Han Jing was so vexed that she almost fainted. As it turned out, she had lost her patron as well as her job...Han Jing almost had a nervous breakdown....After they left the mall, Jiang Sese asked, "Why are you here?""I called you, but you didn't pick up, so I asked the chauffeur."Hearing that, Jiang Sese took out her phone and saw that there
Hearing that, Su Qingyin looked dumbfounded. Holding the file, her hands were almost trembling. This job was her last connection with Jin Fengchen. It would be nearly impossible for her to see this man again if she left the Jin Group. When that happened, she would have no hope left.Su Qingyin forced a smile, and then said in resignation, "I'll go talk to my grandpa."Despite what Su Qingyin said, she would never leave the Jin Group without putting up a fight."All right," replied Jin Fengchen indifferently.He knew Su Qingyin's feelings for him, but Jiang Sese was the only woman he was going to love in this lifetime, and he wouldn't be able to respond to Su Qingyin's affection in any way. Moreover, she was the daughter of the Su Family. It wouldn't look appropriate if she worked for the Jin Group for too long.Su Qingyin's face was livid when she walked out of the office.She knew that it wouldn't be long before she left the Jin Group and wondered if Jin Fengchen was so eager to
Jiang Sese was embarrassed by Jin Fengyao's addressing her as "Sister-in-law"."But I can't just live here. It's not appropriate...""What's not appropriate? It's only a matter of time before you marry my brother, then you'll have to move in eventually."Xiaobao nodded. "Aunt Sese, my uncle is right."Hearing that, Jiang Sese almost choked. "Marry his brother? Where did he even get that idea from?!" In the end, she could only turn to Jin Fengchen for help.Pursing his lips, Jin Fengchen said, "Fengyao and Xiaobao are right." He had worked so hard to get Jiang Sese to move in with him. The last thing he wanted was to let her go that easily.Right now, Jiang Sese felt like she had walked into a wolf's den and said nothing after that. Maybe deep down, she didn't want to leave either.After dinner, they sat down on the sofa and chatted for a while. Jiang Sese then took Xiaobao away to run him a bath.Since Jiang Sese wasn't going to move out, the little guy looked happier than ever
Hearing that, Jiang Sese hesitated. "Double Seventh Festival? What plans do we have?" She herself didn't care much about such festivals and didn't think someone as busy as Jin Fengchen would give it much thought either."Sister Sese, aren't you going to buy Mr. Jin a gift? Or, you can give yourself as the gift. I bet that'd make Mr. Jin very happy.""Are you listening to yourself?" Jiang Sese threw a dirty look at Xu Na. "How inappropriate."Although, Jiang Sese was wavering. She had planned to buy a gift for Jin Fengchen, but because of the scene that Han Jing had caused, she didn't get the chance to buy anything.After some thought, Jiang Sese decided to buy Jin Fengchen a gift after work. Xu Na went with her.With some careful selection, Jiang Sese bought a pair of cufflinks instead of a tie. The price wasn't too high and within the range that Jiang Sese could accept. She found the cufflinks exquisite and liked them a lot, but wondered if Jin Fengchen would like them as well...
The car stopped outside a Western-style restaurant, which was set up in a quiet location with an elegant layout. Because of the Double Seventh Festival, many of the tables were taken by couples. Seeing this, Jiang Sese couldn't help feeling that the two of them were just another ordinary couple like the others and that there was no significant difference between them.Holding Jiang Sese's hand, Jin Fengchen led her to the table he reserved, and then beckoned a waiter over to take their order.Night had set in by now. The restaurant was on the top floor of the building, so they could savor the nightscape through the glass walls. The view was stunning....In contrast to the harmonious couple, Su Qingyin could only drown herself in alcohol at a bar.It was the Double Seventh Festival today, but the man she loved was with someone else. What was more, a man like Jin Fengchen had bought flowers for Jiang Sese.Closing her eyes, Su Qingyin felt like a mess, but she had no idea what to
"Miss Jiang, nice to meet you. I'm Li An, the one who used your surrogate service six years ago," said Li An in an unperturbed voice. His face showed no discernible emotions.However, Jiang Sese blanched when she heard those words. She had been holding her phone in one hand, but it dropped to the ground with a cracking sound. She stared at Li An in disbelief.The man who she worked for six years ago as a surrogate mother had found her. "Why is he here now? What does he want?"Somehow, Jiang Sese grew even more uneasy. Her heart was thumping violently and she couldn't calm herself down no matter what.Li An picked Jiang Sese's phone up for her, and then said apologetically, "Miss Jiang, I'm so sorry for intruding into your life like this. Do you have a minute? Let's find a place to sit down. I need to talk to you."Jiang Sese came back to herself and agreed.The two of them then found a place to sit down, and by then, Jiang Sese was able to think straight again. She began to wonde
