That night, when Fang Yuchen was done with work, he rushed to a French restaurant for his appointment. Shangguan Yuan had brought up meeting the persons-in-charge from all three companies to discuss business. The time was set for tonight. Fang Yuchen had more work for the day, and by the time he was done, it was late. He had rushed over there to find Shangguan Yuan waiting. “I’m sorry for being late.” Fang Yuchen apologized in embarrassment. His nervous demeanor was completely unbefitting of a conglomerate president. “It’s fine. I just arrived myself.” Shangguan Yuan smiled, before she looked behind Fang Yuchen. “Is Chairman Jin not with you?” “He’s returned to Jin City,” Fang Yuchen answered as he took a seat, not noticing the surprise and disappointment that flashed in Shangguan Yuan’s eyes when she heard the answer. “It’s my treat today, please order whatever you like.” Fang Yuchen smiled warmly as he looked at her. Shangguan Yuan smiled in return before she looked
After that, Jin Fengchen and Jin Fengyao went to the study. Meanwhile, Jiang Sese and Madam Jin chatted for a while before going upstairs to rest. The next morning, Jiang Sese was woken up by the two children. The sun had just risen when they came running into the room, trying to drag her and Jin Fengchen out of bed. “Daddy, Mommy, the kindergarten has a sports day today. Wake up!” Tiantian’s voice rang in Jiang Sese’s ears. In the past, she had found it affectionate and cute, but currently she was still sleepy and she found it rather annoying. She shut her eyes and asked wearily, “What sports day?” “A parent-child sports day,” Xiaobao replied. “Mommy, wake up.” Tiantian shook Jiang Sese’s hand. Jin Fengchen could tell that Jiang Sese was still tired. He said to Tiantian gently, “Tiantian, go down and have breakfast with your brother first. Let your Mommy sleep a while more.” “No! I want Mommy to go to the sports day with me.” Tiantian was very adamant. “I’ll go w
Jin Fengchen and Jiang Sese stayed at the hospital with Xiaobao for quite some time. After that, Jin Fengchen received a call from the office and had to leave.Jiang Sese stayed back with the child. After she called home to explain the situation, she asked Madam Jin to pass the phone to Tiantian.“Baby, Mommy may not be able to accompany you to school.”Tiantian, who up until that morning, was still bugging Jiang Sese to accompany her to school, suddenly replied very sensibly, “I know Mommy needs to be with Brother, so Grandma will accompany me.”Hearing this, Jiang Sese was moved. “You are the best, Baby.”“Is Brother okay, Mommy?” asked Tiantian.“He’s fine. He just needs to stay in the hospital for a few days.”“Can I visit him after school?”“Of course you can.”Jiang Sese promised Tiantian that she would pick her up after school and take her to the hospital to see her brother.Jiang Sese then hung up after saying goodbye.She turned to look at the sleeping Xiaobao.She
Jiang Sese relayed Shangguan Yuan’s message to Fang Yuchen.Fang Yuchen was ecstatic to hear it.She could feel his excitement, even over the phone. Jiang Sese could not help but smile.“Thank you, Sese.” Fang Yuchen thanked her.“You’re welcome.”After resolving his personal matters, only then did Fang Yuchen remember to ask about Jiang Sese. “How’s everything back home?”Jiang Sese glanced at Xiaobao lying in bed. “Not too bad. However, something happened to Xiaobao, so I may not be able to return to the Capital so soon. I will have to trouble you to take care of my mother.”“What happened to Xiaobao?” asked Fang Yuchen anxiously.“He fell and hit his head. He’s in the hospital now.”Jiang Sese was afraid that he would worry and quickly added, “It’s nothing serious, he just needs to rest a few days.”Even if the injury was not serious, a little child hitting his head was a cause for worry.Fang Yuchen told his parents about it.Shang Ying was terribly distressed. “How did
Upon seeing Tiantian’s actions, Jiang Sese felt as if a weight was dropped on her chest.She walked over, knelt down, and asked, “Tiantian, what's the matter? Did someone bully you?”Tiantian averted her gaze and did not look at or talk to her.Jiang Sese turned to look at the teacher.Before she could speak, the teacher anticipated what she wanted and hurriedly said, “Tiantian was very good and obedient today, the same as always.”Teacher's anxious look did not look like she was lying.“Tiantian, don't ignore Mommy, okay?”Jiang Sese pretended to be very hurt and sad. Even her voice deliberately carried a hint of a sob.“Mommy doesn't love me,” murmured Tiantian.Jiang Sese her eyebrows, puzzled, and asked, “Who told you that?”“If that’s not it, why did you and Daddy both stay with Brother?”Tiantian finally turned her head around and pouted. Her eyes were slowly turning red.She looked pitiful.Jiang Sese felt quite distressed and took her into her arms and softly expla
“Friends? Yeah, we’re friends.” Fang Yuchen smiled.He secretly comforted himself. At least she wanted to be friends with him. He would cross the other bridge when he came to it.“Since we’re friends, then accepting this gift is no problem.” He raised an eyebrow at Shangguan Yuan and motioned her to accept it.Shangguan Yuan still refused.“It's too expensive. I can't accept it.”Fang Yuchen did not insist. He retracted his hand and smiled shyly. “Then this necklace is wasted.”“You can give it to Sese,” said Shangguan Yuan.Fang Yuchen nodded. “You’re right, I can give it to Seise.”He put the box back in his pocket, then lowered his head to continue eating the steak he ordered.He was unsure whether it was because it was cold that made it a bit hard, but it did not taste good.In short, it felt like he was chewing wax.…It was getting dark.Jin Fengchen tucked Xiaobao in and gently walked over to where Sese was asleep while leaning against the couch.“Sese,” he called
Jiang Sese understood what she meant. She put her arms around her, leaned her head on her shoulder, and said playfully, “Youngest Aunty loves me the most.”Shang Ying laughed. “Yes, I love you the most.”Because she treated Sese as her own daughter, she valued Sese husband's family’s opinion so much and did not want to embarrass Sese.Nevertheless, Shang Ying’s worries were unfounded.As soon as they arrived at the Jin house, Master Jin and Madam Jin greeted them enthusiastically.“Welcome, Sese’s Uncle and Aunt.”Fang Teng and Shang Ying looked at the smiling Master Jin and Madam Jin before them and could not help but freeze for a moment. They thought that the other party would be more solemn.They did not expect them to be so enthusiastic and pleasant.“Youngest Uncle and Aunty, this is my father in-law and mother-in-law,” introduced Jiang Sese.Fang Teng and Shang Ying were jolted back to reality by her voice and shook hands with them quickly. “Hello, nice to meet you.”
Seeing her aggrieved little appearance, Jiang Sese reached out and touched her head, “Be a good girl. When your brother has recovered, Mommy will take you out to play.”Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Really?"Jiang Sese smiled. “Yes. Really.”“Yay!” Tiantian spun around happily in circles, making both adults laugh.Jiang Sese then brought Shang Ying to the terrace on the third floor.Jiang Sese pulled out a chair. “Youngest Aunty, please have a seat.”Shang Ying sat down with a smile, turned her head, and looked around. “This place is very quaint and the air is good.”“The old Fang house is not bad either.”Shang Ying and Jiang Sese looked at each other and smiled.There was a hint of hesitation in Shang Ying's expression. She deliberated her words. “Sese, your parents-in-law are kind to you.”That was an affirmative sentence.Jiang Sese smiled. “Indeed. I’m very grateful to them for accepting me.”Shang Ying held her hand in relief. “You’re very blessed to have such in-laws.”T
