Stepping into Jin Fengchen's own villa after nearly three months, Jiang Sese was overwhelmed with emotions.Standing in the living room, Jiang Sese looked around. Nothing had changed, but at the same time, everything seemed to have changed.It was a feeling she couldn't pinpoint."Madam." The steward went up to her.Jiang Sese's eyebrows twitched when she heard the "madam" and she turned in the steward's direction. "Yes?"She didn't ask the steward to address her differently, but readily accepted that title."The young master has left instructions that you should take some good rest. If you need anything, just let us know. We'll get it done for you.""I see."Jiang Sese nodded with a smile.Actually, she was already fully recovered, but Jin Fengchen was still concerned and worried that she might need more time to recover.Jiang Sese feared that if she kept taking rests like this, she would turn into a pig!...It was yet time to get off work, but Jin Fengchen was already pu
After dinner, Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese left the restaurant, holding hands."I'll go get the car.""Sure."Watching Jin Fengchen head for the parking lot, Jiang Sese stuck her hands in her trench coat pockets and looked down at the tip of her shoes in boredom."Stop!"Lan Sichen was focused on his driving when he heard the sudden command. Surprised, he hit the brakes involuntarily."Screech—"The tires made a jarring noise as they skidded against the ground."What are you doing?!" Turning his head, Lan Sichen glared at Jiang Nuannuan in the passenger seat.Ignoring his anger, Jiang Nuannuan stared right out of the window."What are you looking at?"Lan Sichen followed her gaze.When he saw the person on the sidewalk, he said involuntarily, "Sese?"Hearing that, Jiang Nuannuan started ranting non-stop. "Lan Sichen, I knew it! You can recognize her from so far away! Just admit it! You still care about that woman!""What the hell are you talking about?" Lan Sichen was losi
"You really like it?""Yes!"Jiang Sese nodded affirmatively.Putting his phone away with a smile, Jin Fengchen took her hand. "Let's have a look upstairs."Jiang Sese was genuinely fond of this house, especially when she stood on the second-floor balcony and felt the sea breeze on her face. Taking in the vast sea in front of her, Jiang Sese looked rejoiced and was full of jubilation. She couldn't stop smiling."I really love it here." As she turned around, he could see her beautiful eyes twinkling with joy. She looked stunning.Jin Fengchen smiled gently. "I'm glad you like it.""Thank you."Resting her head on his shoulder, Jiang Sese felt happier than ever.Wrapping his arms tightly around her, Jin Fengchen said in a tender voice, "If you'd like, the three of us can move out here.""Move out here?""Yes."Jiang Sese frowned. As nice as this place was, it was too far from the downtown area.Jin Fengchen needed to go to work every day and Xiaobao had his kindergarten, too
"Is today a bad day to leave the house?"That was the idea flashing through Jiang Sese's head when she walked out of the shopping mall holding Xiaobao's hand and saw Lan Sichen walking in her direction.She lowered her head, planning to pretend that she didn't see him.Unfortunately, Lan Sichen didn't take the hint."Sese."Lan Sichen's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar figure and he couldn't help quickening his steps.When he reached her, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face."Can't he just pretend he didn't see me?"Jiang Sese rolled her eyes. She had no choice but to raise her head and look at him with an impassive face. "It's you."Her indifference gave Lan Sichen a twitching pain in his chest.Before, she was always smiling when she saw him and was so gentle and docile.Ever since that thing happened, they became more distant than strangers. Every time they met, things turned ugly."How have you been? I heard you got injured. Was it serious? Have you recovere
Seeing the way she had turned cold all of a sudden, Jin Fengchen frowned. "Are you mad?""No."She was just not used to how cold-blooded he was. He showed no compassion to even an innocent baby."You're mad," said Jin Fengchen. "Sese, I know you're a kind person and consider the baby innocent."I don't deny the innocent part, but you've got to remember who its parents are and how they've hurt you. Think like that and you won't consider the baby so innocent anymore."He wished that she could realize that people didn't have to be so kind all the time, otherwise, she would only give others opportunities to hurt her."I see," Jiang Sese said indifferently.Knowing that she couldn't accept what he said all at once, he didn't force her, but changed the subject with a smile. "Xiaobao has been waiting for you to come back and take him to the beach. Let's hit the road, shall we?"Jiang Sese nodded.Jin Fengchen then called Xiaobao's name to get him to come downstairs.Xiaobao asked in
In the hospital...After two days, Jiang Nuannuan had slowly begun to accept reality, but she would still burst into tears and throw tantrums at Lan Sichen over the slightest thing."If only you had completely severed ties with that woman, then this child would have still been here! This is all your fault!"She had been fine just a second ago, but for some reason, Jiang Nuannuan flew into a rage all of a sudden. She glared at Lan Sichen, her menacing gaze overflowing with hatred.Lan Sichen had been tortured both emotionally and physically for the past two days. With the loss of their child, he too was torn and heartbroken.He also knew how painful it was for her, but that was not the reason behind her attacks.Moreover, there was nothing going on between him and Jiang Sese at all. Everything had merely been a figment of her imagination."I see that you're still pretty upset. Have a good rest, I'll be back in the afternoon."Lan Sichen had no desire to argue with her and turned
Jiang Sese returned to the study, still overwhelmed.The child really was gone.She closed her eyes, a sliver of grief apparent on her face.Counting the days, she realized that in a few months the child would have been born, but now it was gone.Images of the incident from that day kept on replaying in her mind like a broken record. If only she had reached her hand out earlier, Jiang Nuannuan would not have suffered the fall, and her child would still have been safe.Waves of guilt and self-blame inundated her in a split second.Xiaobao, who had just returned from kindergarten, happily rushed up the stairs to find Jiang Sese."Mister Butler said that Mommy's in the study."Xiaobao hurried over to the door that led to the study and tiptoed to open it, only to realize that the door had been locked from the inside.Thus, he knocked on the door and called out, "Mommy, it's me, Xiaobao. Open the door."However, even after waiting for a while, there was no response."Why isn't Mo
Jiang Sese was patiently teaching Xiaobao how to draw, and did not seem to notice that someone had entered the room."Now, we'll color in the sun."She was preoccupied with finding a suitable watercolor pencil for Xiaobao, whereas the little child sitting by her side subconsciously turned his head to look behind. He nearly jumped out of his own skin when he saw the man standing behind them. "Daddy, why are you here?"Upon hearing this, Jiang Sese hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Jin Fengchen gently smiling at them."When did you come in?" she asked."A while ago."Jiang Sese frowned. "Why didn't you say anything?"Jin Fengchen smiled and replied, "You were both very serious, and I didn't want to disturb you guys."It was especially because the sight of the two of them drawing together, a large figure huddled close to a tinier one, was so sweet and heartwarming. He simply could not bear to destroy it."Daddy, look! Mommy taught me how to draw this."Xiaobao held up
