Ji Zitong lowered her gaze, pondering for a moment, then said softly, “Hmm, we’ll get two people to go over and help tomorrow. Let’s drop by at home. We’ll have lunch with Grandfather, and then visit my parents at night.”

Su Chen fell silent for a moment, then nodded happily. He looked up at her and reached out his long arm to circle her slender waist, letting her sit on his lap. “You arrange it then. Are you still angry about today?”

“No, you’re the one who’s angry. I just feel like you’re too egoistic sometimes. Also, are you getting impatient now?” Ji Zitong stared into his eyes with her clear gaze.

“Egoistic? Aren’t you the one telling me to cut flowers or whatnot like forcing Zhang Fei to do embroidery? The last time, I came back with ten fingers that couldn’t even grip a pen. You can’t expect me to go to work with all fingers bandaged up, can you?”

Su Chen looked helplessly at her. Soon, he calmed down and said, “Zitong, I didn’t marry you to hustle for me or anything. Just be a good lady boss. Why aren’t you happy with that? Didn’t Mother ask you to go work at her office? What’s wrong about going over to learn from her? Do you find it hard to get along with her?”

His words surprised Ji Zitong who then responded, “It’s not that. I just feel like I might not be able to handle it, so I might as well manage my flower shop well.”

“What are you worried about? With Mother around, it won’t be that hard. She won’t gobble you up.” Su Chen shot her an unhappy glance. “Even though the florist business isn’t bad, you have been doing everything on your own, and you aren’t happy just supervising. You should be more self-aware. I’m not a businessman and I’m different from Ah Chen. I don’t know how to teach my wife to be good in the business world. If you were an office-bearer, I might be able to transfer you to my side and be my secretary¹…”

“I wouldn’t want to be your secretary!” Ji Zitong shot him a cold look at him.

Su Chen chuckled as he hugged her tightly. “What’s wrong with becoming my mistress? I could bring you everywhere.”

“I just don’t like being with people like you who speak politics. It’s tiring to handle them.”

Ji Zitong had attended banquets with him before. With all the bureaucratic rules, it made her feel stifled and she did not like it. After that, she had not been very willing to attend such occasions with him.

“I didn’t tell you to handle them. Haven’t I been doing it?”

“Well, I can’t just keep quiet. Remember the last time the person with whom you had an unhappy encounter? Sometimes, I wish you weren’t that kind of person too. When I returned to the old residence, Mother complained about Father to me.”

Ji Zitong recalled her mother, Xie Jiajia, and right then, she could not help but smile.

“Mother? How did she complain about Father?” Su Chen was obviously clear about how his parents were. They seemed to be playing house.

Su Zhengxun was more serious, cautious, and inflexible, yet when he was around, Xie Jiajia would always act like a little girl that never grew up. She would always act childishly and complain that Su Zhengxun was not romantic or gentle enough.

Sometimes, Su Chen thought that it was quite hard to believe that his parents could have gotten to where they were, but later he could only lament that everything was destined.

“I’m saying that Father’s rigid. he didn’t give her flowers this year, what more considerate words, just like you.”

“Flowers and kind words? Do I dare say that I’ve never given you flowers? Also, what is considered considerate words? Even if I say it, you’ll probably call it cringy. I don’t understand you women. Can you not be so fickle all the time? The other night when we were getting all affectionate, I said I…”

Before Su Chen could finish, Ji Zitong had already frowned and covered his mouth. She already believed that he was indeed not a romantic person!

“Alright, pretend I didn’t say anything. I’m going to go down and heat up two cups of milk. Don’t look at these anymore. It’s quite late. Rest earlier.”

Ji Zitong shot him a helpless glance. She was about to get up when he pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t get the milk anymore. Go to sleep earlier.” Then, he held her by the shoulders and slowly stood up.

“Don’t drink so much next time. Every time you and your buddies gather, you and Zimo always drink too much.”

“We drink more when we’re happy, Ah Chen hasn’t been doing well recently, so I think it’s good to drink to our heart’s content. Still, I’m happy to see that he can walk away from his grief. Grandmother Mu loves Ah Chen very much. Among us buddies, he’s the one with the most on his mind, unlike me and Zimo. If we have any issues, we’ll mostly just voice it out, but he usually keeps it to himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be holding onto Lingtian’s issue after so many years.”

Su Chen had mentioned Mu Lingtian and Mu Yuchen’s matters briefly to Ji Zitong, so she more or less knew about it.

“Mmm, Chairman Mu’s quieter, but he’s really good to Xiaye. The last time when we were at Maple Residence, I chatted with Xiaye and I think he treats her really well.”

Then, Ji Zitong could not help but sigh. “It’s just that I didn’t expect someone like him to deal with such a frustrating matter. It’s true that everyone’s got an unforgettable past.”

“How easy do you think he’s got it? Among us buddies, he’s probably the one who’s got it toughest. But mostly because of the way he was brought up, he’s got a strong sense of responsibility although that doesn’t benefit him. That’s the only flaw he has, yet that’s what makes him Mu Yuchen,” Su Chen said as he could not help but sigh and hold Ji Zitong as they walked towards the door.

Ji Zitong nodded gently. “That’s true. I feel like he’s the same as Xiaye. They’ve got endless things to worry about.”

She recalled the time when she had protected Xi Xiaye.

“Now it isn’t that bad. Since Ah Chen married Xiaye, he’s changed a lot. He’s the father of two boys now. When Lingtian just pa.s.sed away, Zimo and I were really worried that he would…forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore and rest earlier.”

Su Chen suddenly felt like there was no need to continue talking about it, yet he was thinking to himself that right now would be a good time to investigate the car accident.

…

Gu Qiwu rested for two days and recovered quite a bit. The situation on Doris’s end was within his control as well. Of course, that included Doris meeting up with a lawyer.

Doris was determined on getting a divorce. In fact, she did not care about Gu Qiwu’s subordinates stopping her and she met her lawyer brazenly. Outside her ward now were two groups of people: the people that Gu Qiwu sent and Doris’s own bodyguard!
