Jin Fengchen washed his face in the bathroom before going to the bedroom next door.Quietly opening the door to Xiaobao's room, he looked in the direction of the bed.After his eyes got used to the darkness, he saw the mother and son on the bed.Jiang Sese had huddled herself up with Xiaobao in her arms.One of her thin arms was on Xiaobao's back. Obviously, she had fallen asleep while trying to help Xiaobao sleep.Seeing this, Jin Fengchen couldn't help but smile.He walked up to them and lifted Jiang Sese's arm up from the boy.He then bent down and tentatively touched Jiang Sese.A moment later, he picked her up.Jiang Sese felt his touch in her sleep.She made a little grumble.She was only half-asleep when she smelled the faint mint smell on Jin Fengchen, and it relaxed her almost immediately."You're back..."She mumbled and adjusted to a more comfortable position in Jin Fengchen's arms."Yes," said Jin Fengchen with a flicker in his eyes.He carried Jiang Sese bac
She could imagine what it would be like—his family would sit there and study her, each one more serious than the next...Seeing how nervous she was, Jin Fengchen felt amused. He caressed the back of her hand and tried to comfort her. "That's not going to happen. I'm sure they'll love you. Just relax and don't be nervous."Jiang Sese curled her lips and complained, "That's easy for you to say. You're not the one who's going to meet your in-laws.""If you really don't want to meet them, I'll go tell Grandpa," said Jin Fengchen."No, you won't!"Jiang Sese immediately rejected the offer.She said stubbornly, "I have to go."As intimidated as she felt, she still would meet them because she wanted to leave a good impression on Jin Fengchen's family.After announcing her brave decision, Jiang Sese lived the next few days in a panic-stricken state.She kept asking Mrs. Jin about the preferences of different members of the Qin Family.She had also been carefully choosing gifts for th
Recalling that Jiang Sese hadn't eaten much during lunch, Jin Fengchen told Mrs. Jin, "Mom, I'll get Sese something to eat. You guys go ahead."Mrs. Jin nodded and went to the shooting range with the rest of the family.After the others were gone, Jin Fengchen took her to the kitchen and found some mild food for her.Jiang Sese felt better after eating something.She kissed Jin Fengchen on the cheek before running away.Jin Fengchen followed her with a smile, in case she might trip and fall.They arrived at the archery range to find Xiaobao being led to the shooting stand with a child-sized bow in his hand.Wearing the archery uniform of the Qin Family, he looked adorable.Jiang Sese couldn't help but worry that the arrow might hurt Xiaobao.Sensing her uneasiness, Jin Fengchen comforted her. "Don't worry. It's not the real deal. He'll be perfectly safe."Jiang Sese only stopped worrying then.She curiously looked around the archery range and touched all of the equipment.P
After they were done at the archery range, the Qin Family took the family of three to somewhere else.As it turned out, the Qin Family had its only horse farm, which was spacious enough for them to ride horses inside.To Jiang Sese's surprise, Jin Fengchen was very good at riding as well.He looked so handsome on the back of the horse that Jiang Sese couldn't bring herself to look away."How handsome he is! Is there anything that he can't do? No, I don't think so!"Jiang Sese told herself in her head, her eyes sparkling.She was very attempted as she watched the others riding in the field.Unfortunately, she couldn't ride a horse while she was pregnant.Jin Fengchen rode back to her side a while later.An idea struck Jin Fengchen when he saw how eagerly Jiang Sese was eyeing the majestic-looking brown horse. He asked, "Do you want to stroke it?""Can... can I?" Jiang Sese asked excitedly.Smiling, Jin Fengchen rubbed the horse's head to keep it calm and said, "Sure. It has a
Jiang Sese hesitated a little before saying, "That's right. I've never heard my mother mentioning them, let alone you. I think I've heard something about it once. My mother has fallen out with her family because she wanted to marry..."Her voice sounded sad in the quiet room."My mom would never have thought that the person she has paid such a high price to be with would end up abandoning her."Jin Fengchen stroked back repeatedly to comfort her.Jiang Sese forced a smile and slowly said, "She's never mentioned my grandparents to me, nor has she ever talked about returning home. I think she was too ashamed to see them."Despite her fragile appearance, deep down, Fang Xueman was a very tough woman.Otherwise, she wouldn't have raised Jiang Sese all by herself for so many years without asking for anyone's help.Jiang Sese was confident that if her mother hadn't been in such bad health, she would have made great achievements in her own career.She had never told other people how m
They chatted for a little while before ending the call.After lunch, they took a rest on the sofa when Mrs. Jin asked, "Sese, do you want to go shopping this afternoon?""Huh? Shopping?" Jiang Sese's brain didn't seem fully functioning after lunch.Mrs. Jin smiled and said mildly, "Let's buy some baby things before your belly starts to show. In a few months, it won't be convenient for you to walk around anymore.""Mom, we've bought a lot of things already. Why do we need more?"Jiang Sese already didn't know what to do with the things that had piled up in the guest room.Mrs. Jin shook her head and took Jiang Sese's hand. "Sese, it's not the same. The children of the Jin Family will always have the best. Moreover, we don't even know whether you're having a boy or a girl. We only bought girl's stuff last time, so we're going to find something for a boy this time."Giving in to Mrs. Jin's theory, Jiang Sese had no choice but to follow her out.Jiang Sese was overwhelmed by the co
After the phone call, all emotions vanished from Jin Fengchen's face.Katherine couldn't help but envy Jiang Sese for having won the heart of such a man."Someone like me probably should say goodbye to such sweet love all together."Turning around, Jin Fengchen asked suspiciously, "Did you just say that your senior is a member of the World Elite Alliance?"Katherine was baffled by that question, because she didn't understand why Jin Fengchen would be so interested in the organization."Sorry? Well, yes. The research findings are very important to Country E, and many parties have their eyes on it. My research institute had no choice but to let my senior return to his organization together with the information."Hearing that, Jin Fengchen was lost in his thoughts and felt somewhat shocked.It had been a while since he last heard the name of that organization mentioned.He used to be a member as well, only that he had hidden his identity very well from the outsiders.Even Jiang S
Jin Fengchen gestured for her to be silent with his hand and said, "I'm telling the baby not to give you trouble. Otherwise, I'll teach it a lesson once it's here."Jiang Sese burst into laughter when she saw the earnest look on his face.They were still enjoying their time alone when Jin Fengchen's phone began to ring.All warmth was gone from his face as soon as he saw the number."Sese, I need to take care of something. Take a nap."He quickly left the room after kissing her on the forehead.Still sitting on the bed, Jiang Sese still felt perplexed and wondered how a phone call could upset him so much."Has something happened?"She hastily walked over to the window and was just in time to see Jin Fengchen drive off.She couldn't help but feel worried.But she knew that she couldn't give him any actual help; all she could do was pray for his safety.Jin Fengchen called the number back as he drove."What now? Haven't I told you not to call me?"Katherine's voice came from
