The man’s warm hands rubbed against her alabaster skin. Jiang Sese’s face blushed slowly. Her thin legs flailed wildly in the air, the reaction intense. Jin Fengchen frowned slightly as he looked at her. A moment later, his forceful but low voice entered Jiang Sese’s ear. “Stop moving around, it’s hidden. Move around more and I cannot be responsible if people see.” There were many eyes and ears at the banquet, and many people had already noticed the commotion. Their eyes were being drawn and they looked in interest. Watching Jin Fengchen carry a woman, their faces filled with awe. With how they were posed now, Jiang Sese’s face was fully covered. People who did not know her would not be able to tell that it was her in Jin Fengchen’s arms. When she heard what he said, Jiang Sese nearly stopped breathing. If he did not want people to see, he should just put her down? Her heart was still troubled, but her body had stopped struggling. She hid her face in a panic, bu
The night air was cold as the breeze blew. Standing by the railings along the banks of the Seine, the pale moonlight shone on a cold figure. The Seine at night was quiet and beautiful. Meandering, endless street lights illuminated the streets. The air of the night was an emotional one. Jiang Sese gently smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind. She leaned on the parapet and looked on at the romantic night lights.Not far away, Jin Fengchen appeared from a coffee shop. He had two cups in his hands and he walked toward her at a deliberate pace. Jiang Sese took the hot drink from Jin Fengchen’s hand as she leaned her back against the railing. She smiled warmly, “Thank you.” The night breeze blew at loose hairs over her ear. In the yellow light, her complexion had improved. It was just that her smile did not reach her eyes. Jin Fengchen walked to her side and leaned next to her. They took a few sips of coffee, the bitter taste sliding down their throats. He glanced sidew
“So, you’re here to see this? I've even seen this. Mommy looks good in this photo. Let me open it for Mommy.” As Xiaobao spoke, he excitedly opened the two little red booklets and put them in front of Jiang Sese, as though he were presenting a treasure. Licking her dry lips, Jiang Sese opened her eyes to take a look. With just one look, she froze on the spot. When she saw the woman in the passport-sized photo, her heart felt like it was struck by lightning. She was immediately panicked. The woman in the photo was definitely her. She had not changed a bit. The difference was that the girl leaning on Jin Fengchen was smiling widely. She looked happy. Therefore, was she really Jin Fengchen’s wife? Jiang Sese’s fingers were trembling. Her mind had gone blank.Three years of her perceptions were overturned. The world suddenly came crashing down. Her heart began to grow frantic. She did not know how to face this truth. In her confusion, she stood up hurriedly and stumb
That night, the both of them did not raise the topic again. Even though they lived under the same roof, they each kept their own counsel. Jiang Sese got up early in the morning. However, she did not sleep. She could not. Her eyes were kept open late into the night. Fu Jingyun had also been unable to sleep. He had a lot on his mind. At one moment, he was thinking about how to snatch Jiang Sese. At the next, he was thinking about how to chase Jin Fengchen away. His thoughts were all muddled. Finally, he still thought of Tiantian. The little girl, until now, refused to change. Whenever she saw Jin Fengchen, she loved calling him Daddy. No matter how you looked at it, that was not okay. It was nothing back then. But now, it was just uncomfortable. He had spent the night like this until daylight. Fu Jingyun got up and made his bed. He had breakfast with Su Tian before telling her that he had something to do. He then took the car and left. On the road, he called Jin Fengche
Fu Jingyun was quite disappointed, so he resorted to the next best thing and said, “Then promise me that you won't alienate me during this time. After all, my mother knows that our wedding is approaching.”“Alright.”Jiang Sese had no other choice.Fu Jingyun smiled contentedly upon hearing her promise.This way, they would still go ahead with the wedding preparations, and Madam Fu would be none the wiser. She would still think that their relationship was developing well and would remain in a good mood.Whenever she saw the two of them, she would take the initiative to ask how the preparations were going.Jiang Sese did not know how to reply. It was always Fu Jingyun that had to lie through his teeth.She grew tired of this, but she could not bring herself to say anything when she saw Madam Fu's happy smiling face.If this went on, she feared she would soon develop schizophrenia.However, Fu Jingyun told her that Madam Fu was recovering well. The doctor said that if she was in
As her body stumbled, the food container she was carrying fell to the ground.The little girl was initially looking at herself in the mirror, but hurried over upon hearing the noise.She saw Jiang Sese clutching her chest with one hand, and wearing a pained expression on her face.Tiantian asked anxiously, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“It’s okay… Mommy just needs to sit down…”With Tiantian’s support, Jiang Sese shuffled over to the couch.Tiantian instinctively rubbed Jiang Sese’s chest.At this moment, the door opened and Fu Jingyun walked in.He had just come back from the hospital, and the first thing he saw was Jiang Sese's pale face. He was so shocked that he tossed away the things he was carrying and rushed over to Jiang Sese.As he got closer, he saw dense beads of sweat had formed on her forehead, and he asked anxiously, “Sese, are you hurt? Do you want me to call a doctor?”Jiang Sese waved her hand and said weakly, “I'm fine... There’s no need to make a fuss. Just help g
Jin Fengchen held her slender hand tightly in response.The nurse hurriedly walked toward them from the other end of the hallway and conveyed the good news: the blood type was a match and could be used.Jiang Sese's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled her hand free and said to Jin Fengchen, “I'm going to have my blood taken. Don't worry, Xiaobao will be fine.”The expression in her eyes was clear and resolute.Jin Fengchen found her devotion very attractive. He gripped her shoulders, looked her in the eyes, and replied in a hoarse voice, “Alright.”Jiang Sese went with the nurse to have her blood taken.She did not feel any pain when the needle inserted itself into her blood vessel. Rather, she felt relieved.She was glad that her blood could save that adorable child.If anything happened to Xiaobao, she would definitely fall apart.It was strange to find that this feeling was extremely intense, as if Xiaobao was part of her own flesh and blood. It would be unbearable to lose hi
His voice was low and hoarse. “Let me hug for a while. I won’t do anything else.”Jiang Sese pursed her lips, and finally, she dropped her raised hand.‘Forget it, just leave him be.’At this very moment, in another ward, the elderly and the young were still chatting.They obviously were not on the same channel, but nevertheless, they chatted happily.Fu Jingyun’s mind was wandering and kept staring at the door. Getting water would take a few minutes at most. Why was she gone for so long?It was impossible to lose one’s way in the hospital.After sitting there for a while, he could not wait any longer. He stood up and said to Madam Fu, “Mother, I’m going outside to make a call.”Madam Fu glanced at him and smiled. Her eyes were full of understanding.This son of hers was giving random excuses just to find her daughter-in-law.Did he not think that she could not see it? He almost bore a hole through the door with his stare.“Alright, go ahead. I have Tiantian to accompany me,
