Jiang Baiwan’s brain paused in an instant. She felt that she didn’t understand Ji Chen’s words, but another voice in her heart vaguely told her that she actually understood all of his meaning.

“I regret it.” Ji Chen said softly. “I was still struggling with myself before, but today I suddenly felt that I should have figured it out a long time ago.”

Jiang Baiwan took a deep breath then closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again. The originally teasing mood had disappeared completely and Jiang Baiwan’s eyes were more solemn than ever. She sighed lowly. “Let go of me first.”

Ji Chen subconsciously followed Jiang Baiwan’s words. He let go of her wrist and sat up straight. Jiang Baiwan also sat up from the bed. She frowned slightly and pondered for a while before saying to Ji Chen, “I got it.”

“But Ji Chen, I…… I can’t answer you right now.” Jiang Baiwan whispered slowly. “This matter is too serious. Let me think it over carefully.”

Ji Chen’s eyes flickered. He said all those words in one breath today, and since he had already said it, then he wouldn’t regret it.

Seeing Jiang Baiwan’s distressed look, Ji Chen smiled. “Okay, I’ll give you time to think about it, but I also have a request.”

Jiang Baiwan looked at him curiously. “What?”

“You have to give me a chance to pursue you.” Ji Chen said, “I got to know you again, Xiao Wan, and you should also get to know me again.”

Perhaps Ji Chen was too steadfast, Jiang Baiwan murmured a bit and gave in.

Ji Chen got the answer he wanted and his mood became a little better. He persuaded Jiang Baiwan to drink some more warm water and watched her fall asleep before he went into the kitchen and started cooking porridge for Jiang Baiwan who didn’t even have an idea when he left.

When Jiang Baiwan woke up in a daze the next day, what she found was the note left on the table and the still warm porridge in a pot.

Jiang Baiwan looked at the porridge and thought for a long time, not knowing what to say. She was somewhat bereft and even alarmed to find that apart from being surprised by Ji Chen’s proposal yesterday, she was actually a little moved.

Just like what she said when bantering with him, Ji Chen, this man, was really superb. He was handsome and wealthy, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He looks like a dream guy and his gaze nowadays……

Thinking of everything that happened last night, Jiang Baiwan’s cheeks felt feverish, as if the high temperature that has just subsided has crept back all over her face again. She sighed, served herself a bowl of President Ji’s loving porridge, and ate it resignedly.

——Fortunately, She wasn’t completely confused yesterday and still remembered to leave a way out for herself and didn’t rush to agree to things.

But then again, she seems to have agreed to Ji Chen’s one condition?

Jiang Baiwan thought for a long time and in the end, she felt that even if Ji Chen pursued her, according to his personality, nothing serious would happen. In addition, during this period…… she had to avoid Ji Chen no matter what. She had to sort out her mind first.

———

Inside a coffee shop, Shui Lan’er was sitting in a corner booth with a pair of huge sunglasses on her face. She looked a little nervous and appeared like she was waiting for someone, but she didn’t want to be recognized.

When it was ten o’clock, a young man opened the door and walked in. With a clear goal, he walked directly opposite Shui Lan’er and sat down, then greeted her with a smile, “Hello, Shui Lan’er.”

“Keep your voice down.” Shui Lan’er lowered her voice. “Is there something you wanted to see me about?”

The young man smiled and said, “It’s nothing serious. I just wanted to know the situation.”

Shui Lan’ers expression changed. She looked a bit indignant and a little embarrassed. “Don’t you know what your sister did? Why are you asking me?”

“No, no, no, I’ve been in another country for such a long time and don’t really know anything about what’s going on here.” Jiang Zhishu picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip comfortably. “I want to know what has my sister been doing all this time? Is she doing okay? Sister Lan’er, if I remember correctly, you two are very good friends, right?”

Shui Lan’er couldn’t help but stiffen when she heard this. She faintly looked at Jiang Zhishu in front of her and held back for a while before saying in a low voice, “Xiao Wan and I have severed our ties.”

“What? How could that be? Is there some kind of misunderstanding between you?” Jiang Zhishu’s surprised expression came across as too fake to be true. “Sister Lan’er, you might have thought wrongly of my sister. She’s a good person and has no evil intentions. She just likes to put everything out in the open.”

“That’s enough.” Shui Lan’er Interrupted Jiang Zhishu’s words. She bit her lips and her original delicate expression came back on her face. “What exactly do you want?”

Jiang Zhishu lifted his cup again, his eyes curved as he looked at Shui Lan’er. “Sister Lan’er, I just have a small suggestion.”

“I know you have always hoped to reconcile with my sister, but Chu Yunhan has never liked her, so Sister Lan’er is caught in the middle. It’s quite difficult, right?” Jiang Zhishu’s eyes were full of cunning, but his words seemed to be very sincere, “I’m not trying to do anything bad. My main reason is that…… I just returned recently but my sister doesn’t want to talk me.”

Jiang Zhishu smiled bashfully, looking more and more harmless. “I want to take this opportunity to clear up the two misunderstandings together. Sister Lan’er, what do you think?”

What does Shui Lan’er think? She naturally thinks it’s great!

She swept away her previous vigilance and said to Jiang Zhishu, moved, “It would have been great if you came back sooner. It would have save me and Xiao Wan from so many misunderstandings. Thank you Zhishu, for still thinking about this friendship.”

Jiang Zhishu shook slightly but his smile remained bright. “Then it’s settled. After I’ve made a plan, I’ll talk to Sister Lan’er about what exactly to do.”

Shui Lan’er nodded. Her emotions had calmed down but she was still very happy. “Then I’ll wait for your good news.”

After Shui Lan’er left, Jiang Zhishu couldn’t help muttering in a low voice, “No wonder my sister doesn’t I like her……” What’s up with this? He was startled. What’s wrong with Chu Yunhan’s eyes?

At the same time, in Luo Xiao’s office, he was also entertaining an unexpected guest.

Luo Xiao always greets people with a smile even if he knows the character of the person opposite him was. He would never show it on his face. He brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of the visitor, smiling. “Mr. Gu, what a rare visit. I thought you had already left the country.”

Before Gu Dongcheng had time to speak, he was already half pissed due to Luo Xiao’s words—— How dare he talk to him like that? Doesn’t it sound like he’s a dog who’s been chased out?

Although there’s really no difference between Gu Dongcheng and a homeless cur right now.

Gu Dongcheng snorted coldly and put the matter aside for now. He stared at Luo Xiao closely and said, “I want to do business with you.”

Luo Xiao’s smile did not change. “What kind of business? Mr. Gu, you should also know that we in the venture capital business don’t just take on anything.”

“Of course, it’s a big deal.” The corners of Gu Dongcheng’s mouth curled up. “But some things may require Mr. Luo’s cooperation.”

Gu Dongcheng stayed in Luo Xiao’s office for a long time. It was unknown what the two of them talked about, but when Gu Dongcheng left, his face was full of satisfaction, and his joy was almost overflowing.

While Luo Xiao sat in his seat for a long time after Gu Dongcheng had left. Then, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. “Hello? En, he’s here. It’s as you said, pretty much all of it…… Yeah, I’ll go and have a look tonight.”

So on the evening when Jiang Baiwan was recuperating at home, she welcomed new guests. The strange thing was Tan Mi and Luo Xiao appeared together.

“You two came together?” Jiang Baiwan’s face was full of curiosity. Even though her throat was uncomfortable and it was inconvenient to speak, she couldn’t help asking, “What’s going on with you two?”

Tan Mi rolled her eyes, not the least bit shy. “What do you mean what’s going on? I just ran into him downstairs, what else can there be?”

……Luo Xiao smiled good-naturedly. “I can’t even find the door of your house. If it wasn’t for Miss Tan, I’m afraid I’ll have to hang around below for a couple of hours.”

“Have a seat.” Jiang Baiwan greeted them both. “I’m still sick, so I won’t pour water for you. If you want to drink, pour it yourself, don’t be polite to me.”

Tan Mi laughed at her in anger. “It’s the first time I’ve seen someone treat guests like this. Is your fever better?”

“It’s much better now.” Jiang Baiwan’s nose was blocked so she spoke with a muffled voice. “It’s only scary when I discovered I have a fever the other day. If Ji Chen hadn’t cooked porridge for me—”

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Baiwan noticed her slip up and hurriedly shut her mouth. However, it was already too late. Tan Mi keenly caught something surprising. “Ji Chen?”

Ji Chen cooked porridge for you? The boss of Haochen Group personally cooked for you?

Tan Mi rolled her eyes and glanced at Luo Xiao who was sitting next to her. Luo Xiao was so sharp that he understood right away and ran to the kitchen as an excuse to stay there.

Tan Mi sat next to Jiang Baiwan and asked her in a whisper. “What’s going on? You and Ji Chen…… What’s the situation now?”

Jiang Baiwan gave a bitter laugh. Just as she was sharing with Tan Mi the things that had happened the other day, she suddenly saw the screen of her phone light up.

Immediately afterwards, there was a WeChat message from Ji Chen:

【I’ve got a present for you and it will be delivered soon. I hope you’ll like it.】
