"There must be something wrong with this man's head for him to come to me and say such disgusting words," she thought.What did he mean by even if they were not lovers, they could at least be friends?Unless widowed, all her past lovers would only be her enemies."President Lan, Young Master Lan, Mr. Lan! We're really not close. I don't want to hear you trying to catch up with me. Please leave immediately. I have an errand to run, so don't waste my time."Having said that, Jiang Sese fished out her keys, opened her door, and tried to enter.Lan Sichen, however, pressed down on the door.His expression was dark.Not only did she ignore everything he had said, but she even humiliated him!"Jiang Sese… are you hell-bent on being this heartless?"Rather than getting riled up, Jiang Sese was smiling instead. "Me, heartless? Lan Sichen, what gives you the confidence to say that? Five years ago, when my mother needed money for treatment, I begged for your help. You ignored me and merrily ran
She stopped in her tracks at once and scurried back inside the car.Lan Sichen had already carried Jiang Sese out of the neighborhood entrance by then.The unconscious woman lay limply in his embrace. Her sleeping face lacked her previous thorny distrust and appeared beautifully delicate.Her striking facial features were as lovely as a painting.In this state, she looked exactly like she had six years ago.Back then, she was obedient and easy to control and manipulate.Now, however...Lan Sichen couldn't tolerate her disobedience, sneers, and disgust. The hint of guilt that was barely about to sprout in his heart swiftly wilted."Open the door," he commanded the two bodyguards flanking him in a cold voice.The bodyguards took two steps forward and opened the passenger door as ordered.Lan Sichen stooped down and placed Jiang Sese inside. He was about to straighten his waist and get up.That was when he heard a sudden, loud thumping sound.He looked up at once and saw the bodyguard bes
It wasn't until after a trembling Jiang Nuannuan watched the Maybach disappear into the night that she was able to calm her nerves.Her eyes were wide open from disbelief. Jealousy nearly blinded her.To think that Jiang Sese would be familiar with someone from the Jin family!What gave her the right?What right did a woman who gave birth to another man's child have?Was Jin Fengchen blind? Why did he protect a filthy woman like her so fiercely?Jiang Nuannuan was so confused that she forgot to check on the unconscious Lan Sichen. All she could think about was how Jin Fengchen had carried Jiang Sese away to safety....Jiang Sese didn't know how long she was unconscious. By the time she woke up, she found herself lying down in an unfamiliar room.Startled, she got up and looked around.Then, she felt a soft, hairy creature rubbing against her.Only then did she discover Xiaobao, this time dressed in a cow-shaped onesie.Sighing in relief, she reached out to caress his sleeping face.Ji
Jiang Nuannuan's words made Jiang Zhen frown. "It doesn't matter. We can talk when she returns."They would only get a clear explanation after meeting with Jiang Sese.Displeasure flitted through Jiang Nuannuan's eyes. She knew better than anyone what her father was like; he was someone who prioritized profit above everything.If there was truly an unexplainable relationship between Jiang Sese and the Jin brothers, her father would surely find a way to bring the former back home.How could she let this happen? Never. Everything in their home belonged to her and her alone, and that included Lan Sichen.She had spared so much blood, sweat, and tears to drive Jiang Sese away. She would never let Jiang Sese make a comeback.......Jiang Sese slept through the night peacefully at the villa, where she woke up to a sumptuous breakfast on the dining table the next day.Xiaobao blinked at her and said in his childlike voice, "Auntie Sese, do you have any plans after breakfast? Can you take me o
Jiang Sese never thought that Jiang Zhen would be this shameless. She rejected him at once."Don't you know who Jin Fengchen is? He's not someone you can meet just because I gave him a call. If you want to see him, find your own way."Jiang Sese reached out to open the car door.To her surprise, Jiang Zhen snatched her bag and fished out her phone.She was pissed. "What are you trying to do?"Jiang Zhen refused to believe her. Considering that Jin Fengchen beat up Lan Sichen so badly because of her, he was sure that she was important to the former. "Just what kind of extraordinary luck does this unfilial daughter of mine have," he thought.Since Jiang Sese didn't lock her phone with a pin code, he was able to turn it on without any trouble.He opened the contacts list. Sure enough, he found Jin Fengchen's number inside. He immediately called the number."Give me back my phone!"A furious Jiang Sese reached out to snatch her phone, but she couldn't stop Jiang Zhen thanks to the bodyguar
With a trace of amusement in her eyes, Jiang Nuannuan said slowly, "It's not that big of a deal, but a few years ago, my sister gave bir…"Even though Jiang Nuannuan didn't finish her sentence, Jiang Sese knew what the rest of her words would entail.Her heart sank. She could feel the nerves in her brain snapping.She clenched her fists tightly.Why?She could take all their humiliation in the past, but why, after all this while, wouldn't they let her be? Why...Any second now, Jiang Nuannuan would continue the rest of her words. Her pupils shrank and the next thing she knew, she was already rushing up to Jiang Nuannuan and slapping her in the face.Her face was dark and her voice ice-cold as she asked, "Aren't you done yet?"Just a second ago, Jiang Nuannuan was happily looking forward to seeing Jin Fengchen dump Jiang Sese. The sudden slap completely stupefied her.She clutched her cheek and looked at Jiang Sese. This was the second time this woman had slapped her since they reunited
Xiaobao was so upset that his tender voice was choked with emotion.An expressionless Jin Fengchen pursed his lips in silence."Auntie Sese even called me this afternoon. She said that she would sleep with me tonight. Did you make her so angry that she ran away? Go and admit your mistake now. Go and bring her home."Xiaobao clenched tightly onto Jin Fengchen's trouser legs.In an increasingly unhappy voice, Jin Fengchen said, "Be obedient. Don't look for Auntie Sese anymore."Not only was Auntie Sese gone, but his father was even scolding him. Xiaobao became even more upset. He ran back into his room in a fit of anger.Jin Fengchen kneaded the space between his eyebrows. Ignoring his son, he returned to his room and lit up a cigarette. All he could think about Jiang Sese's words earlier.His gaze was deep and profound.What exactly had happened in her past?He didn't want to investigate it, for he knew it was a taboo for her. He had been so confident and sure of himself before, but he
"But why?"Jin Fengyao was bewildered. They were fine just moments ago, so how did they end up agreeing not to meet each other again?Had his brother's charm regressed that badly?To the point that his sister-in-law wanted to sever ties with him? The problem seemed serious! It was no wonder that his brother acted like he had eaten a bomb the entire day.Jin Fengchen was quiet for a few beats before extinguishing the cigarette in his hand. He paused before saying, "Maybe it has something to do with her past.""Past?" Jin Fengyao's brows furrowed. "What kind of past?"Jin Fengchen gave him a brief rundown of what had happened last night.Jin Fengyao rose to his feet and said at once, "Brother, don't worry. Leave this to me. I will go and investigate Sister-in-law's past right away."His brother stopped him from leaving."No. Without my permission, you're not allowed to investigate her."Jin Fengyao's heart jumped. Truth be told, the investigation was already done way before. He
