The black car passed through green scenery and entered an area filled with villas, then stopped right in front of the innermost villa.The gate slowly opened, revealing a large, sprawling green lawn.Jiang Sese felt a weight lift from her heart seeing all the vast greenery.When they walked inside, she was surprised to find out that the interior design was the same as their house in France.Jin Fengchen smiled when he noticed her surprised, delighted face.However, with his relief, a wave of fatigue followed immediately after.He led her to the sofa and rubbed his temples before she noticed.He had been sleepless for the last few nights trying to find her. Even if he was made of iron, feeling tired was inevitable.Jiang Sese could see his dark circles under the bright light and she felt sorry for him.She put her arms around his neck, softly saying, “I won’t make you worry anymore, okay?”Her sweet breath surrounded Jin Fengchen’s neck. His heart skipped a beat.Instantly, a
Fu Jingyun crossed his arms and leaned back in his seat. He sarcastically said, “If I were to let her go, do you think I’ll still join your organization?”Catalina flicked her ash from her cigarette.She took a drag of her cigarette, went near Fu Jingyun, then exhaled the smoke toward his face. The white fog blurred Fu Jingyun’s vision.Her voice was ghastly. “If you could let go so easily, I wouldn’t have said that.”Catalina hit his exact weakness. He had no way out.Expressionlessly, Fu Jingyun pushed her away in disgust. “Go away.”Catalina returned to her seat, and casually stubbed out her cigarette in an ashtray.When she saw Fu Jingyun going for another round of drinks, she reminded him, “Tomorrow is the day you officially take office. You better not have any incidents.”“You don’t have to worry about that.” Fu Jingyun opened another bottle of liquor indifferently.Catalina was only reminding him out of kindness.Even though Fu Jingyun was very depressed, he was clear
Catalina snorted in her heart. She could not be bothered to look at how hypocritical these men were acting.They politely conversed and Bo Gelian interposed his remarks at the right time.“Professor Curry, this man has rare talent. Please don’t waste his medical genius.”“Of course. Mister Fu, please follow me.”Professor Curry did not overlook the hint in Bo Gelian’s eyes. He understood it was time to take Fu Jingyun away.Fu Jingyun nodded slightly.“Go ahead and start your research.”Bo Gelian gave Fu Jingyun an approving look, then said, “Please do your best.”Fu Jingyun smiled as he heard that and immediately followed after Professor Curry.The moment he left, Bo Gelian’s expression immediately changed. His polite expression had disappeared entirely.“Good job. You really convinced him to come with you.”Bo Gelian laughed and patted Catalina’s shoulder. He wore a calculative expression.Catalina lowered her eyes, obediently. “Of course. Your wish is my command.”She s
Jin Fengchen did not look toward her. He gently smiled at the shop owner and said, “Thank you. We will.”Then he hugged Jiang Sese and walked out of the shop.After they went back to the main street, Jin Fengchen gently pinched the tip of Jiang Sese’s nose. “He wished us both happiness, together and forever.”Jiang Sese smiled and rested against Jin Fengchen’s shoulder. She took a small bite of each of the donuts and tasted their flavors.“Here, have a bite. It’s so yummy!”She naturally brought one to Jin Fengchen’s mouth.Jin Fengchen stared at her intensely, then took a bite and chewed slowly.His gaze did not move away from Jiang Sese at all, as if he was savoring her.“Yeah, you’re right. Very yummy.”‘Just like you.’Jin Fengchen quietly added that in his heart, and his expression turned so gentle that he could melt.When her eyes met his intense gaze, Jiang Sese was slightly dumbfounded and instantly blushed red.The sunlight shone on both their faces; a sweet atmosp
Fang Xueman adjusted the position of her handphone slightly and a kind smile appeared on her pale, unhealthy cheeks.“Are you two doing alright lately?”Jiang Sese lightly hummed and said, “We’re fine.”She carefully observed Fang Xueman’s face and could see that her health was waning.Jiang Sese could not help but feel sad but she was scared that Fang Xueman would notice. Thus, she hurriedly lowered her head.Jin Fengchen lightly patted her shoulder, noticing her reaction and thus comforted her silently.“Sese.”Fang Xueman’s voice was very soft and gentle. On listening more carefully, her voice was shaking a little. “You’re an adult. Why can’t you take care of yourself yet? Look at you, you’ve gotten so much thinner.”Hearing that, Jiang Sese smiled and replied, “Mom, I’m not that thin. I’m still meaty and if you don’t believe me, just look.”She, with a very serious expression, pinched her own cheeks.However, truthfully, she had to pinch her face so hard that it hurt just
Qisha observed how the couple was interacting with each other. She glimpsed at how Jin Fengchen acted so gentle and soft-spoken in front of Jiang Sese, who expressionlessly stuffed herself with a mouthful of vegetables and slowly chewed.The atmosphere turned slightly more normal later on, but a sensitive person might still feel awkward in this atmosphere. However, Jiang Sese did not care at all.She was enjoying her meal; the food was all to her liking.Watching Jiang Sese, Jin Fengchen’s mood also improved.After Jiang Sese finished the last prawn on her plate, she elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, then got up.“Excuse me, I need the toilet.”Jin Fengchen nodded. Qisha looked toward her with an insincere smile.Jiang Sese smiled at both of them. She obviously understood that Qisha did not just come for a meal.She could guess that there were certain matters that they had to discuss, but it would have been inconvenient with her presence.After she left, Jin Fengchen an
King stood respectfully in front of Jin Fengchen and bowed slightly. “Boss.” Jin Fengchen looked away from the screen and focused his gaze on King. “Any news?” When King heard this, he replied in a concise and detailed manner. “We’ve found out that somebody is investigating your whereabouts. Furthermore, this unknown player has been very vigorous in their efforts.” Jin Fengchen asked coldly, “Do you know who it is?” King answered honestly, “It’s Bo Gelian.” Even though he had guessed as much, Jin Fengchen could not help but smile coldly when he heard the name. “He really doesn’t know how to quit.” As he calmly spoke, his attractive brows arched slightly. Bo Gelian was like a viper hiding in the shadows; you always had to have eyes on the back of your head in case he struck at you. King noticed Jin Fengchen’s expression and frowned, despite himself. They were on Bo Gelian’s turf; there were a lot of things they could not easily do. If they were in China, they would not
When the man’s large shadow came down, Jiang Sese met Jin Fengchen’s deep look. She could sense what was coming and blushed even harder. She hid in the blankets, but Jin Fengchen pulled her out of them. “Sese.” The man’s low, hoarse voice traveled into Jiang Sese’s ears. The floor was strewn with clothes. The pale moonlight shone through the cracks of the blinds in slivers, as though it were trying to discover the secrets within. The next day… Jiang Sese was in agony; her entire body was sore. She could not even move her fingers. She turned and snuggled into the warm chest belonging to the body next to hers. The man had long been awake. Noticing Jiang Sese’s flirtily coming near him, he could not help but find it amusing. “Are you up?”“Hmm…” Groaning, Jiang Sese did not even have the energy to open her eyes. She did not know what Jin Fengchen did last night, but she could not get any sleep until midnight. “It’s afternoon already.” Jin Fengchen laughed. He knew tha
