Yan Hua dares not to say anything, fearing that Lang Cha finds out the thing between her and Lang Ruoxian. Lang Ruoxian brings Gungun over and puts him on the ground, âGungun, be a good boy and go to tell the house maid that I havenât eaten supper yet.â
âIs Uncle hungry?â
Gungun looks up to ask.
Lang Ruoxian laughs, âYeah, I am hungry.â
âI am going!â Saying that, Gungun leaves.
Lang Cha stands up, âFollow me to the study first.â
âOkay, Grandpa.â Lang Ruoxian supports him.
Yan Hua seizes the opportunity to take Gungun back to the room. To be honest, she is afraid to face Lang Ruoxian. If she feels nothing about him, it is surely okay. Yet, she canât deceive herself. She likes the man indeed.
Maybe she doesnât like him deeply enough, but she knows this man is special to her.
âMommy?â Gungun sees her not talking, so he carries a toy car to Yan Huaâs arms.
Yan Hua rubs her sonâs round head, âLetâs go! Let me give you a shower!â
Itâs more than ten o âclock. Lang Ruoxian sends her a message.
âOpen the door.â
Seeing the three rude words, Yan Hua wants to roll her eyes but she gets off the bed without hesitation, putting on shoes to open the door.
Seeing that the man is standing at the door while twitching his lips, she feels a bit angry about herself.
Lang Ruoxian walks in. Yan Hua looks at him helplessly, âCanât you be careful?â
âBe careful about what?â The man comes near her.
Yan Hua takes a step back, âBe careful about the consequence.â
âI am very careful now.â Lang Ruoxian hugs her in light of his long arms.
Before Yan Hua resists, he releases her and takes out the key ring from his pocket, âIs this yours?â
âNo.â Yan Hua looks at it, âI donât use key rings.â
Lang Ruoxian puts it back. Yan Hua asks, âWhere did you find it?â
âIt was not me who found it but a friend of Huang Rong. She is called Xueâ¦â
âXue Juan.â Yan Hua knows who she is, âI happened to run into her. She may think it is mine.â
Lang Ruoxian touches her face. Yan Hua turns her head to the other side, âKeep your hands to yourself.â
âI touch you with only one hand.â The man smiles and then suddenly approaches her to give a kiss.
Yan Hua is about to hit him when Lang Ruoxian retreats to the door and opens it, âGood night, my⦠baby.â
âYou rogue!â Yan Hua closes the door.
The word baby makes her so excited and nervous.
âDonât ever feel that thereâs anything wrong with yourself.â Fei Yingâs words are lingering around her ears.
âFor a man like Lang Ruoxian, as long as he is willing to show love for a woman, there wonât be any woman who can say no to him. Hence⦠Girl! Fall for him!â
Yan Hua covers her face and buries her head into the pillow.
March 3 is Gungunâs birthday. On the early morning of the day, Lang Cha asks everyone to come back.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â Seeing that Lang Li keeps rubbing his forehead, Lang Cha feels that he doesnât look well.
Lang Li shakes his head, âMaybe I have been not resting well. Itâs okay.â
Deng Jingjing lowers her head to take a mouthful of birdâs nest, raising her head with a smile, âYou have been back home quite late at night recently and I donât see you in the daytime. What are you doing?â
âDidnât I tell you about it? Playing cards with a few friends.â Lang Li looks at her and feels surprised.
He hasnât watched his wife carefully for long. It seems that she becomes much more beautiful. Even her skin becomes fairer.
âBe careful. You are not young anymore. Donât get ill for being too tired.â Deng Jingjing gets up to pour him a bowl of porridge.
Lang Li finds that even his wifeâs hands become more beautiful so he canât help asking, âHave you been doing some skincare treatment?â
âHeh! I have been doing that all the time.â Deng Jingjing covers her mouth, âYou used to say that I might as well live in the beauty salon.â
Lang Cha looks at them and shakes his head, âRemember to come back early tonight to celebrate for Gungunâs birthday.â
Yan Hua also finds that Deng Jingjing has been changed. She is a woman. Unlike Lang Li, she doesnât feel she becomes beautiful only. In her eyes, Deng Jingjing looks so smitten, as ifâ¦
As if she is in love?
Upon thinking of that, Yan Hua is startled.
A bowl of birdâs nest is slightly pushed to her. Lang Ruoxian looks at her.
âDonât mind others. Have the birdâs nest.â The man says in a low voice.
Yan Hua looks at him with a weird face and drinks the birdâs nest with her mind full of stuff. The next noon, she goes to a club with Fei Ying and Chen Hong to celebrate Gungunâs birthday with the three kids.
âGungun, what present did you receive yesterday?â Fei Ying asks Gungun teasingly, âDid you get a lot of red packets?â
Gungun blinks his eyes and then watches Yan Hua.
âWhat else can it be?â Yan Hua shrugs her shoulders, âThey all gave him money.â
âSo did Lang Ruoxian?â Fei Ying doesnât believe it.
Yan Hua rolls her eyes, âOnly he didnât.â
âThe red packet that he will give must be a big one.â Fei Ying says, âBy no means can he miss such a good opportunity.â
Seriously, if he wins the kidâs heart, he can surely win the heart of the kidâs motherâ¦
âGungun, happy birthday!â Mingxi carries a big box and puts it in front of Gungun.
Chen Hong says confidently, âItâs selected by Mingxi. Although it is no match for a red packet, it is absolutely suitable for Gungun to play!â
âI can play with Gungun, using our hands and brains.â Mingxi says with a shy face. After being raised for a few months, he finally looks like a normal six-year-old kid.
He has a red face and even becomes taller. Wearing the haute couture clothes bought by Chen Hong, he looks like a kid from a rich family now.
âGungun, this is a present from me!â Xiaojiu kisses Gungun and then puts on a bracelet on his wrist.
âMy daughter made it herself.â Fei Ying says smilingly, âGungunâs zodiac sign is Dragon, so we chose two gold dragon beads, which are padauk beads blessed by monks in Giant Buddhist Temple.
Yan Hua smiles at them, âThank you. Iâll not pay much attention to courtesy. Your kindness has been well received.â
âThatâs right. We are close friends.â Chen Hong sees three kids playing aside, starting to sigh, âSpeaking of thanking, I must thank you both. If it were not that you asked me to join the foundation, I wouldnât have a son now.â
She stares at Mingxi, âThe kid is really nice! My parents were worried that we couldnât raise him well, but now I think thatâs not a problem at all.â
As a saying goes, a child is father to the man. Although oneâs character is greatly affected by the growing environment, some things are inherent and unable to change.
âOh right!â Something occurs to Fei Ying, âI got a case for help. Do you want to have a look?â
âA workplace harassment?â Yan Hua takes over the document.
Fei Ying nods her head, âKeep reading. Itâs worse than that.â
âThe girl entered a company for internship after graduation and got harassed by her supervisor, and yet dared not to say anything. Her supervisor thought she was timid so he directly intoxicated her and slept with her.â
Chen Hong says, âPah. Scum bag!â
Yan Hua is surprised at the remark on the back, âLang Consortium?â
âExactly!â Fei Ying tilts her head to look at her, âItâs your familyâs company. This manager has been demoted recently and transferred to a subsidiary company. I donât know whether he has made any mistake.â
âThat girl is pregnant now. She is from other places and dares not to tell her family, so she turned to the manager. However, he didnât admit but scolded her.â Chen Hong sneers, âNow she has no other choices but to seek help from us.â
Yan Hua is a bit speechless after reading the document, âSo she only wants us to help her give birth to the baby and find a job?â
âIsnât it ridiculous?â Chen Hong is angry with her cowardice, âShouldnât the scumbag be responsible for her? And she should make a big fuss about that.â
Fei Ying sighs, âIf she were capable of that, she wouldnât need to stand harassment for that long and get raped in the end.â
âShall we take the case?â
âYou call!â Chen Hong says, âAfter all, itâs your familyâs company. Should this thing become serious, it may affect the company.â
Fei Ying nods her head, âDo you need to ask Lang Ruoxian first?â
âNo need.â Yan Hua signs on the document, âWeâll help her.â
However, she still needs to tell Lang Ruoxian about it, but Lang Ruoxian wonât come back tonight. Yan Hua decides to go to the company and asks him face to face about the solution on this.
âMiss, who are you looking for?â Upon entering the lobby, Yan Hua is stopped by the receptionists.
When seeing clearly her face, the two receptionists are surprised and then say excitedly, âMrs. Lang! Are you coming here to find Mr. Lang? Please take the lift over there and you will directly get to the floor where Mr. Lang is.â
âThank you.â Yan Hua twitches her mouth.
When she turns around to leave, she can hear two people talking.
âOh my God! I see her in person nowâ¦â
âShe looks much more beautiful than her photos. I bet that she doesnât have any plastic surgery.â
Yan Hua doesnât know that by the time she walks out of the lift, all the employees know the Second Young Mistress of the Lang Family who becomes rich for her child comes to the companyâ¦
âYan Hua!â At the door of the lift, Xue Juan shouts at her with a smile.
âAre you here to receive me?â Yan Hua looks around.
Xue Juan hastens to shake her head, âNo, I am not qualified to do that. I just come by to say hi after hearing you are coming here.â
âOhâ¦â Yan Hua feels her words quite strange, but she doesnât think much, âYou heard me coming? Who said that?â
âHeh! All the employees in the company know that.â The moment that Xue Juan said that, Lang Ruoxian trots to them.
She hastens to stand aside. Lang Ruoxian walks to Yan Huaâs front and looks her up and down, âWhy didnât you pick up my call?â
âI have time anyway, so I come here.â Yan Hua asks, âDoes it bother you?â
âOf course not. Letâs go to my office.â He looked Yan Hua up and down to see whether anything wrong happened to her; Otherwise, she wouldnât come to the company so suddenly.
He finds that everything is okay with her so he is finally rest assured. They walk by Xue Juan together. Xue Juan clenches her fists and then doesnât leave until she sees them enter the office.
âXue Juan!â The colleague in the office winks at her, âI hear that you know the Young Mistress of the Lang Family?â
âYeah, I met her while I was traveling abroad.â
Her colleague comes near her, âIs it easy to get along with her?â
âShe is quite nice.â Xue Juan looks at her, âWhy do you care so much about her?â
âI am doing for your own good.â Her colleague lowers her voice, âIsnât Mr. Lang courting you?â
Xue Juan stares at her, âWhat are you talking about?â
With her face turning red, she says embarrassedly, âWhy would Mr. Lang court me?â
âWhy is it impossible? Did he just give you a present?â The colleague makes a gesture, âMany people saw that. An expensive key ring.â
