"Brother, I've found out about her past."Jin Fengyao started speaking the moment he saw his brother.He told him everything that Jiang Zhen had told him.Jin Fengchen was so shocked to hear the truth that even his fingers were trembling.Jiang Sese's past didn't bother him in the slightest. Even now, after finding out the truth, he only felt sorry that she had suffered."How could she be so silly?" Jin Fengchen closed his eyes and smiled wryly.It felt as if something had crushed his chest, making it painful to breathe.Her past had resulted in her low self-esteem, leading her to think that she was unworthy of him until she eventually chose to leave him.But she was the victim, wasn't she?Jin Fengchen regretted everything.He regretted not investigating her past just because he wanted to respect her. That resulted in her shouldering all of her burdens and facing everything on her own when the truth was exposed."I'm such a bastard!"The regret on his brother's face upset
"It's good that Jin Fengchen thinks Sese is still in Jin City." "That way, Sese can live peacefully in South City." With such a thought in mind, Lu Zheng called Jiang Sese."Senior Lu."The corner of his mouth curved when he heard Jiang Sese's gentle voice in his ear. "How is work going?"Jiang Sese glanced at her colleague, who was burying her head in work, and smiled. "Not bad.""Have you gotten used to things? Do you get along with your colleagues?"Jiang Sese's smile deepened at the clear concern in his words. "Senior Lu, you were the one who introduced me to this job. There's no way that it'd be terrible."Lu Zheng laughed cheerfully. "I'm just glad that you're adapting well."She chuckled and said nothing more.A brief silence hung over them before Lu Zheng said, "Sese.""Yeah?"He hesitated for a beat. "He's looking for you."Even though Lu Zheng didn't name anyone, she knew who he was referring to."He's looking for me." Her heart hurt as her grip tightened ar
When Jin Fengchen returned home and saw Li Yuanyuan, his eyes darkened as he turned around to leave.Seeing this turned Li Yuanyuan's expression unsightly."Fengchen, where are you going?" Mrs. Jin chased after her son.Jin Fengchen didn't even spare his mother a glance and said coldly, "Home."Jin Fengyao happened to return the moment they arrived at the door.He looked at his brother, confused as to why he was leaving. "Brother, where are you going?"Jin Fengchen didn't reply. He walked around him and exited the door.Oblivious to what was going on, Jin Fengyao stopped his mother from leaving and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with him?""Don't stop me."Mrs. Jin pushed his hand away and chased after Jin Fengchen; she didn't have the time to entertain Jin Fengyao's question."What the hell is going on?"He frowned, bewildered.He got his answer when he entered the house and found Li Yuanyuan in the living room.It seemed that his mother had yet to give up trying to find a wom
The days continued to pass. Besides spending time with her mother in the hospital on the weekends, Jiang Sese spent most of her time traveling back and forth between her home and the office. Only sometimes would she drop by the supermarket to purchase groceries.Her days were simple.She wasn't used to it in the beginning, so she would lose sleep over missing Jin Fengchen and Xiaobao. Gradually, however, work began to occupy her life, and she stopped having the free time to think about them.Whenever she was idle, she would think about them. Everything between them felt like a dream.She had simply snapped out of her dream now.There was a lost smile on her face. Perhaps, she would soon forget about them, and they would forget about her.That wouldn't be such a bad thing....Jiang Sese had never joined any of the team gatherings since joining the company, prompting her colleagues' complaints."Sese, you're acting like a loner. Never mind our team gatherings, you don't even jo
Their private room was so large that it had its own karaoke machine.Everyone's spirits were high. After they had dinner, they began drinking and singing. The atmosphere was lively.Jiang Sese was feeling a little weary, but seeing how excited everyone was, she was hesitant to excuse herself and ruin the mood.So, she quietly left the room to get some air in the corridor.There was a window at the end of the corridor, so she made her way over.At that moment, the door to another private room swung open, and a waitress pushed her cart out. Jiang Sese happened to be walking past the room, and the waitress, failing to notice Jiang Sese, knocked the cart into her.Something spilled all over her."Why am I so unlucky?" It was a good thing that there wasn't any hot food on the cart, only some leftover dishes with sauce and soup.She looked at her clothes that were stained with soup without tearing up."I'm sorry, so sorry!"The waitress apologized to her repeatedly. She tried to
It was a wild night.They conveyed their longing for each other through their kiss."Sese, I love you."He released all of his emotions in mutters and groans in her ear, while her tears flowed like a leaking faucet. She held onto his back, indulging in her emotions.Jin Fengchen drifted into a deep slumber.The room was dim, and the only light source was a wall lamp by the bed.The yellow light showered the bed, enveloping Jiang Sese as she looked longingly at Jin Fengchen.She looked as though she was trying to engrave his image into her mind.It had been two months since she saw last him, and he seemed to have gotten thinner. Even though the light was dim, she could clearly make out the darkness under his eyes.He hadn't been living well.Suddenly, conflicted emotions surged into her heart.There was guilt, heartache, as well as other indescribable feelings."I'm sorry."Jiang Sese muttered to herself. She closed her eyes and reached out to embrace him in a tight hug.A
The minute Jiang Sese returned to the office, her colleague approached her and said mysteriously, "Sese, have you heard? Our company is going to work with the Jin Group."The mention of "Jin Group" made her raise an eyebrow."You must be kidding me with this coincidence." "Is it that Jin Group?" Jiang Sese asked uncertainly."Yep! The Jin Group in Jin City. Don't you know?"Jiang Sese's face fell. It was indeed the same Jin Group that she was familiar with."They'll be coming here to discuss our cooperation soon. I heard their president will be coming personally. Oh, right. Do you know Jin Fengchen? He's basically Mr. Perfect..."Her colleague was still chattering nonstop.Jiang Sese stopped listening a long time ago. All she could process was that Jin Fengchen would be coming here.She recalled what happened last night and a sudden realization struck her.No wonder he showed up at the club yesterday."No, I can't let him find out that I'm working here." Her colleague not
"Of course, I'd support you.""Qingyin, please sit here while I fetch you a cup of tea," Mrs. Jin immediately added.She wasn't some young woman without experience, so how could she miss the fact that Su Qingyin was here to interrogate her?"She seemed perfect before, so why do I find her so foolish now?" Mrs. Jin sighed quietly to herself as she took large strides toward the kitchen.Su Qingyin's smile disappeared as she watched Mrs. Jin enter the kitchen, her expression as dark as the night.Mrs. Jin was just paying lip service when in actual fact, she already had her eye on someone else.Su Qingyin narrowed her eyes. "I thought that my chance was here now that Jiang Sese is gone, but it seems that's not the case." She must do something for herself.While pondering what to do, she heard the sound of laughter coming from the backyard.It was Xiaobao's voice.Her eyes brightened. The only reason Jiang Sese managed to win Fengchen's attention was the fact that Xiaobao liked
