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
A voice suddenly called out, and its tone was one of resignation. Jin Fengchen’s eyes narrowed. Tightening his hold on Jiang Sese’s hand, they walked in to find a servant waiting for them. “Mr. Fu is waiting for you upstairs.” They ascended the stairs slowly. Jiang Sese looked around the villa and could not help but feel somewhat frustrated. Fu Jingyun was still enamored with these vapid, lifeless knick-knacks--meticulously maintained, just like him.When they reached the upstairs living room, Jiang Sese could not help but feel somewhat apprehensive. Fu Jingyun was seated in a chair with a teacup in his hand. He was looking out the window as though he were contemplating something. As though he sensed their presence, he turned. His gaze fell on Jiang Sese; it was profound and distant, full of undisguised emotion. Jiang Sese looked down; her palms were beginning to sweat. Fu Jingyun was standing before her, and while he was now her adversary, he had saved her before. Tha
Jin Fengchen stiffened. He did not expect Fu Jingyun to help conceal them. If Catalina were to discover their presence here, he guessed that they would not be able to leave this house so easily. Looking around, Fu Jingyun’s furnishings were sparse. There were no large objects to hide behind. His gaze fell on the door to the bedroom. Jin Fengchen hesitated. That was a private space. As he was hesitating, Fu Jingyun had already opened the door and beckoned them to hide in there. Outside, Catalina had not yet received a reply and doggedly continued knocking. After Jin Fengchen led Jiang Sese into the room, Fu Jingyun quickly adjusted his clothes and ran downstairs to get the door. Catalina saw Fu Jingyun’s slightly flushed face and asked suspiciously, “What took you so long?” Fu Jingyun calmly turned to walk up the stairs and returned to his seat. “I needed to change.” Catalina glanced suspiciously at Fu Jingyun’s clothes; it looked like the same ones he wore the day bef
Fu Jingyun got in the car with a stony expression, seeming like he had yet to forgive Catalina for her prior indiscretion. The sun was glaring, and Fu Jingyun pulled on his shades. However, it was not to block out the sunlight. He did not want Catalina to notice that his eyes were tearing up again. Fu Jingyun closed his eyes and wearily leaned against the seat. His mind was still replaying every scene from the past three years. When they got out of the car, Fu Jingyun had already regained composure and was once again aloof as usual. Jin Fengchen led Jiang Sese home after obtaining the documents. On the journey, Jiang Sese could no longer repress her emotions. She began to sob uncontrollably. Even though they had confronted each other--she had even made her decision--Jiang Sese’s heart was still very soft. She remembered all the protection Fu Jingyun had provided her, and she could not simply erase the kindness he had shown her. Thinking of the final look that was in F
Before he went to the office, Jin Fengchen left instructions for the bodyguards to keep a close watch and make sure Jiang Sese was safe. If anything out of the ordinary happened, they were to report immediately. He was worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to do something to Jiang Sese. When he reached the office, Gu Nian was there waiting for him. When he saw Jin Fengchen enter, he immediately stood as straight as a rod and bowed his head. “My apologies Young Master, we could not get him. They managed to throw our people off the scent.” Jin Fengchen nodded contemplatively before he calmly said, “They came prepared. It’s not your fault. Tell me specific details.” Fortunately, the core data had been recovered. “Very well,” Gu Nian replied solemnly and immediately gave a detailed report. After he described the situation, he said thoughtfully, “However, even though they switched cars, we got a glimpse of the license plate. I’ve got people investigating it now,
