At Furong Park...Inside a tiny, single-room apartment, an apron-clad Jiang Sese was bustling about in the kitchen, preparing dinner.The pretty boy was pacing back and forth with a glass of milk in hand, curiously taking in his surroundings. "Is this where you usually live, Auntie?""Yes. It's a very small place, and not as luxurious as yours."Jiang Sese responded without thinking too hard about it. She put the freshly-cut vegetables into a bowl in preparation to cook.The pretty boy tilted his head to look at her. "Do you live alone?""Yep.""Don't you have any family?""I do, but she's not here. I'm usually alone here."The pretty boy fell silent like he was afraid that he would upset her. He immediately patted her with all the solemnity of a child and comforted her. "Don't be scared. Now that you have me, you won't be alone anymore."His words tickled Jiang Sese."What a… precocious child!"The more she looked at him, the more she liked him."Enough. I'm going to star
Jin Fengchen looked at her, stunned. He appeared to hesitate but soon nodded.Jiang Sese took two steps forward and knocked on the door. She told the little guy inside the room, "Sweetie, dinner is ready. It's going to get cold if we don't eat soon. Can you come out?"Rustling noises came from inside the room, but the door remained shut.Jiang Sese continued her struggle. "Look, I'm starving after working hard all day. Come out and eat with me, all right? Otherwise, I'm going to get gastritis soon. I might even have to take medicine and see the doctor. It's very pitiful, you know."Silence hung over the entire apartment. A long while later, the door finally opened to reveal a small head.Jin Fengchen was taken aback.This kid would typically sulk for more than a week before quelling his anger.He wouldn't budge even when the whole family was placating him.He never thought that this woman named Jiang Sese would be able to make him compromise with just a few words.Jin Fengchen
"Don't mention it."Jiang Sese waved her hand, paying it no heed. She then watched the father and son leave her apartment.Her home became empty in the blink of an eye. For a while, she couldn't quite snap out of it. She soon patted her head and wondered what was wrong with her.He was just a child that she had known for less than a day. Why was she so reluctant to part with him?It had to be because Xiaobao was so adorable....The night came and stayed. A gorgeous Maybach left behind a trail of light as it sped down the road.The mood inside was very still.A sulking Xiaobao turned his head away, refusing to even look at his father.Jin Fengchen pinched the space between his forehead. His head was hurting. He had no plans of trying to placate his son either.His family had spoiled Xiaobao rotten, resulting in him developing this sort of temper. It was about time that someone straightened him out.The car stopped in front of the entrance to their house.The minute the door
Jiang Sese was dumbfounded to hear his words. What did he mean by sharing half her bed with him? He surely had no issues casting all courtesy aside.Was he really Jin Fengchen?Rumors had it that this man was esteemed and aloof, but only the former seemed to be true. Otherwise, why would he say such things?Just as she was filled with doubt, Jin Fengchen realized that he said something he shouldn't have. He coughed to cover up his misstep and put on an aloof expression. "Xiaobao hasn't been bathed yet. I might have to trouble you for this."Jiang Sese came to her senses and replied, "Don't worry about it."It was only after she had given her reply that she realized the topic had been effortlessly sidestepped. She couldn't help feeling depressed.However, she wasn't stupid enough to bring up the topic again. She resigned herself to her fate and turned around to find some clothes for Xiaobao.Jiang Sese's home looked small but it had everything she needed. Even children's clothes
"Huh? What do you mean by soon?"It took Jin Fengyao a few seconds to process this information.Gu Nian was similarly bewildered.They exchanged confused looks before turning to look at Jin Fengchen in unison.Jin Fengchen didn't explain. He maintained his indifferent expression as if he hadn't just dropped a bomb.It made them feel like they had just experienced an illusion.Excitement quickly lit up Jin Fengyao's expression. "B-brother… I didn't mishear you, did I? Did you just say you're going to get married soon?"Jin Fengchen looked at him coldly. "You misheard me.""No, no, absolutely not! How could I? Gu Nian, you heard him, didn't you? He just said he's getting married soon! He said soon, oh my God…"Jin Fengyao had a hard time calming down.This news was too shocking to him.As expected of his older brother!Jin Fengchen was someone who suppressed his desires as calmly as a monk; a man who might not even react when drugged!Yet he said that he would be getting mar
The next morning...The first thing Jiang Sese saw after opening her eyes was an adorable boy lying next to her.He slept obediently and soundly in her embrace, his long lashes resting on his cheeks like a fan. His skin was enviously fair and supple.She became filled with wonder.She had met many children over the past five years, but never someone who felt as close to her heart and was as adorable as Xiaobao. She was even tempted to never let him go.Such a thought tickled her. If she didn't let him go, the Jin family would likely end her.After entertaining such a bizarre thought, she rose stealthily and went out to prepare breakfast.To her surprise, she saw that Jin Fengchen was up and awake. The table was also filled with a bunch of breakfast food.Porridge, Chinese pastries, Western food... It was an extravagant affair.Jiang Sese was taken aback. "This…""I didn't see any restaurants in the neighborhood, so I drove out and bought some. I don't know what you like, so I
It was obvious whose handiwork it was.Her tactic, however, was simply vile.Jiang Sese didn't frown for long. She didn't let this upset her.On the contrary, she was pretty happy.This way, she would be able to fully take charge of Xiaobao's birthday celebration.The kid was so sweet that she wanted to give him all the best things in the world. So, she wanted to design an unforgettable celebration for him.If all the information was gone, all she had to do was research again.Since the previous proposal had been destroyed, all she had to do was draw up a new one.Xiaobao's birthday celebration had to be one of a kind!He Lin had no idea what was going on in Jiang Sese's mind. Upon seeing the torn-up proposal, she flew into a rage. "I can't even point out one good attribute of Yan Yifei aside from her ability at work! What a witch to leave you such a mess!""I know, right? If she's looking for something to blame, it has to be her big mouth. She dared to call the little prince
After thinking about it, Jiang Sese deemed it impossible.It was Jin Fengchen, after all! The President of the Jin Group! How could a nobleman like him come and fetch her personally?He probably meant that he was waiting for her outside her home.The more she thought about it, the more plausible this thought became. Not daring to tarry, she hastily packed up and exited the building. She wanted to hail a cab and go home.The night was still early and there were still many cars on the road. However, for some reason, she couldn't see an empty cab even after waiting for a long while.When she was about to panic, a black Bentley quietly stopped beside her.The car window slid down, revealing two faces—one older, one younger.Both faces were similarly delicate and perfect. It was as if the younger one was a miniature version of the older one.The older one had the face of a deity; the younger one was too cute for words. Two short, fleshy arms emerged from the car and waved at her hap
