Yang Hao said, “Jiang Minglang may look innocent but he’s quite a schemer. He’s become much more cautious after what happened last time. He talked less about Mr. Chen with me after he met with his mother. He’s more guarded now.”

Jiang Jingchen was very calm. “We will meet sooner or later. Don’t worry.”

“I’ll await Mr. Chen’s instructions then. 1 hope you won’t let me down.”

Jiang Jingchen glanced at him. “The only thing that has let you down is your inability to find a girlfriend. I will only work you to the bone!”

Yang Hao laughed at Jiang Jingchen’s jab about his singlehood and looked at Song Zhou.

“Song Zhou, has your young master become smug just because he’s married? The fact that I’m single is a hindrance to him now?”

Song Zhou also felt stumped. He did not hear anything just now, so he replied, “Cough. Work harder then.”

“… You are single too. What right do you have to tell me to work harder?”

Jiang Jingchen went over and said, “Song Zhou is different from you. He has been kissed and was even bitten on the lips. What about you?”

“Wow, Song Zhou, your little fiancee has come back to you? Congratulations!”

“No, no, don’t listen to Young Master’s nonsense.” Song Zhou’s scalp went numb.

Yang Hao clicked his tongue. “Have you fallen in love with someone else? Song Zhou, you’re quite something.”

Song Zhou couldn’t stand it anymore and ended the video call. He looked at Jiang Jingchen and said aggrievedly, “Young Master, please don’t say such things.”

“Why? You do it but don’t dare to admit it?”

“I’m just afraid of damaging the girl’s reputation.”

Jiang Jingchen nodded. “That means you admit that your lips were bitten by a woman. Didn’t 1 tell you that you’ll just have to get used to kissing?”

Song Zhou realized that he had been tricked. He flung his towel angrily over his shoulder and moved away from Jiang Jingchen.

An hour later, Jiang Jingchen returned to his bedroom and saw the woman sleeping soundly in bed hugging the blanket.

He called out in a low voice, “Beibei, it’s time to wake up.”

The woman hugged the blanket and turned away from him. She wanted to laze in bed.

He chuckled and didn’t force her to get up. He found her a set of clothes and went to the kitchen to make soy milk.

Silent Sister, who was preparing breakfast, saw him enter the kitchen and made way for him.

In her heart, she thought that Mr. Chen treated his wife like a daughter. He did a lot of small things for her personally and treated her like a baby.

Jiang Jingchen made the soybean milk and drank half a glass before he went to the kennel.

When the two puppies saw him, they got up, wagged their little tails and paced around his feet in a fawning manner.

He brought them some dog food but didn’t give it to them right away. Instead, he trained them to stand at attention, at ease, turn around, lie down, and only fed them when they completed their routine.

After playing with them for a while, he heard footsteps upstairs. His wife had woken up.

She stood on the stairs and smiled at him. Her smile was even warmer than the winter sunlight on the balcony.

He waved at her and patted his legs.

The woman hopped over to him and sat on his lap. She snuggled her head against his shoulder, and he couldn’t bear to part with her.

“Hubby, you did something bad again.”

“What?”

“You turned off my alarm clock!”

Jiang Jingchen cleared his throat and said, “I’m just following the public’s wishes and doing what you wanted to do.”

Tang Beibei laughed in amusement. “Should I thank you then?”

“You’re welcome. It’s my duty.” Jiang Jingchen stole a kiss on her lips.

Tang Beibei lay in his arms and laughed. The two of them made out for a while before they got up to eat breakfast.

Tang Beibei turned to look at him before she got into the car to go to school. “Hubby, you have to go to work today. Is it okay to dress so casually?”

Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows. “Don’t 1 look good like this?”

“It’s not that you don’t look good, it’s just that it’s not formal enough. It’s your first day at work, so you should dress in a way that they wouldn’t look down on you.”

“Mm, okay, 1 won’t let them look down on me!” Jiang Jingchen replied seriously, but he had no intention of changing his clothes.

Tang Beibei kissed him on the cheek and said, “Hubby, all the best for your first day at work.”

“Thanks.”

When Jiang Jingchen watched the woman get out of the car, a cold wind blew into the car, but he didn’t feel cold at all. His heart was stirring as he headed to the office.

It was still early when he arrived, only eight o’clock. Jiang Jingchen went to the cafe next door and worked on his laptop while having a coffee.

Song Zhou reminded him when it was 9 o’clock but Jiang Jingchen said they should wait.

Song Zhou did not understand. “Wait? Wouldn’t we be late?”

Jiang Jingchen nodded. He wanted to be late.

Only by being late could he show his cynicism and his idle attitude.

He couldn’t help but say, “My wife told me not to let them look down on me. If 1 go in early, they’ll think that 1 care about the position. My persona now is a newcomer who doesn’t know any rules and I must keep this persona.”

Song Zhou looked at the ceiling to hide his rolling eyes.

It was a pity that his young master wasn’t a celebrity. He always created personas for himself.

When it was almost ten o’clock, Jiang Jingchen closed his laptop, stretched lazily, and said, “The market is not good now. 1 need to find a few part-time jobs to support my wife.”

“…” Song Zhou put on a fake smile.

In all honesty, his young master’s wife was easy to support.

She was not picky about food and drink and did not care about fancy clothes.

She didn’t play tricks to get new bags or cosmetics and didn’t covet luxury goods.

Of course, the things that his young master bought her weren’t cheap, but she was easy-going and would use whatever he gave her. She never complained even if the things cost just a few yuan.

Song Zhou kept Jiang Jingchen’s laptop and the two of them headed to Jiang Corporation.

The receptionist already knew that he was the first young master of the Jiang family and did not stop them. She even walked them to the elevators.

Song Zhou was about to close the elevator doors when he heard the receptionist call out respectfully, “Madam, you’re here.”

Jiang Jingchen looked up and saw Song Yan standing outside the elevator.

Song Yan was in her fifties, but she was dressed fashionably and took good care of herself. She didn’t have any obvious wrinkles and could easily pass off as a forty-year-old.

She was smiling but her smile froze when she saw Jiang Jingchen.

Jiang Jingchen took a step back. “Please, for the lady.”

Song Yan didn’t want to go in, but he had already said that. She would look petty if she didn’t enter the elevator. She smiled gently again and walked in.

Song Zhou closed the elevator doors, blocking out curious stares from anyone outside the elevator.

Song Yan looked at Jiang Jingchen, who was wearing a mask. He stood tall and straight, almost a head taller than her, looking very oppressive.

“Jingchen, we haven’t seen each other for many years. How have you been?”

Jiang Jingchen said, “Not too well since no one loves a motherless child.”

Song Yan could not keep the smile on her face and did not say more.

But Jiang Jingchen asked, “You took my mother’s position in the Jiang family. Your life must be good here, right?”

“Jingchen, I’m also very sad about your mother’s passing. After all, she and 1 used to be best friends.” Song Yan’s expression was sorrowful, like she was still sad when she thought about her best friend’s death.

“Your father was also very sad when your mother passed. He and I comforted each other. I accept it if you blame me for taking your father away but you must not hold it against your father. He has missed you all these years.”

“There’s no audience here. Don’t waste your acting skills.”

Jiang Jingchen voice was indifferent and calm, but he knew how deep his hatred was for her.

He hated this woman for taking advantage of his mother’s kindness and causing her death. She didn’t feel any remorse and arrogantly took everything from his mother..
