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
Jiang Sese was immediately wide away and spun around to look at him."When? For how long?"She couldn't bring herself to part with him, and even her eyes had dimmed when she heard the news.Jin Fengchen put away the hair dryer and started rubbing her hair gently with a towel. His voice was husky when he said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, but I'm not sure when I'll be back. It may take me a while."He didn't tell her about Katherine. The job this time would be very dangerous, and he didn't want her to worry.Hearing that, Jiang Sese frowned. She felt uneasy when she saw the look on Jin Fengchen's face."Why the rush? Is there something wrong with the business?"Judging by his tone and the expression on his face, she seemed to sense trouble.It made her on edge."It's nothing like that. I'm only going on an ordinary business trip. Are you questioning my ability now? Do you think I can't even close a deal?"Picking up her hand, he caressed her pinky, trying to distract her.Jiang Ses
After Jiang Nuannuan listened to Zifeng's plan, her frown disappeared and she decided to go and see Jiang Zhen first thing in the morning.In the evening, North City finally rained a bit after a day shrouded with clouds.The sound of the rain grew stronger because it started to pour. The raindrops were heavy and dense. As they struck the ground, a crisp pitter-patter sound could be heard.The air was infused with the smell of the earth, which was slightly irritating.It rained all night and only stopped when the sun started to rise.The sky was slit open by a red light, and the stale air became freshened up a bit.Jiang Zhen got up early in the morning. When he went downstairs, he saw the helper who came to the house to clean, who greeted him. "Good morning, sir."Jiang Zhen nodded in response, which was a signal for the helper to continue working.Jiang Zhen put on a coat and went outside at a slow pace.He now lived in a small mansion in the suburb.Far away from the hustle
