That day, just as Ji An closed the drawing board, he received a call from his team's team leader, Liu Kuan.

"An An, let me tell you a piece of good news. Someone invested in our anime."

"Really?" A surprised smile appeared on his face. That's great! It's been hard on you all! "

Liu Kuan smiled and said, "We didn't work hard, it's mainly because your work is outstanding that people come to invest. Right, the investors said they want to treat us to a meal, not far from the company. It's Friday night, don't miss it."

Hearing this, Ji An looked rather troubled. Ever since she had experienced such unexpected events, she didn't like to appear in crowded areas. She couldn't help but tactfully decline. "You guys can go by yourselves. I won't be joining in on the fun."

Liu Kuan thought she was being polite, and said firmly, "An An, you must be prepared for this meal, the investors specifically wanted to invite you. If you don't go, then that would be too unreasonable! "It's settled then. I'll send the address to your phone later. I still have something to do, so I won't talk to you any longer. I'll hang up first."

Without giving her a chance to refute, Liu Kuan hung up.

Ning looked at his phone, a hint of helplessness on his face. It seemed he couldn't refuse.

At this moment, there was a ball in his arms. "Mommy, Uncle's phone number."

Big brother," she called out in a low voice, immediately putting the phone to his ear while he took it from him.

Bei Yiheng's deep voice sounded out, "You met Teng Yiyang?"

Even though meeting Teng Yiyang wasn't what she had expected, she still felt a bit guilty when facing her brother. "Yes, I accidentally bumped into him, but he came to find me twice later on, but it was very unpleasant. I don't think he will come looking for me again."

"An An, you may not understand men, but men are all despicable. In the past, when you were in front of him, he did not pay attention to you, but now that you're gone, he's not feeling well, this is what it means to be unsatisfied."

Ji An's hand, which was holding the phone, tightened. He subconsciously bit his lips and muttered, "It shouldn't be!" "I don't feel like he …"

Bei Yiheng's tone was solemn, "An An, you are an adult, so I won't interfere too much with your thoughts. But you must know that you are already a child's mother. If you don't want to have anything to do with Teng Yiyang, then don't let him know about the existence of Sleeping Treasure."

"I won't let him know. The Sleeping Treasure belongs to me alone!"

Realizing that she was a little agitated, she pursed her lips and lowered her voice. "Back then, he didn't like it when I was giving him children. Even if he saw Sleeping Treasure, he wouldn't have liked it."

Bei Yiheng could hear the depression and anger in her voice, but he didn't say anything more. "Get things done early, come back early, I'll help you deal with the information on Sleeping Treasure. No one will be able to find out."

"Thank you, big brother. I understand."

All these years, if it weren't for her eldest brother helping her arrange things, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to a sleeping treasure so smoothly. How could she have been able to live such a quiet and leisurely life?

"The family doesn't talk about two things, take care of yourself and Nightbreak Trickster. I've already arranged for someone to send them over."

Bei Yiheng made this call because he was on a business trip. The waiter, who was left unattended at home, sent someone to deliver the phone to A City so that it could be used as a companion for Sleeping Treasure.

After Ji An hung up the phone, he felt a bit absent-minded. Suddenly, he felt the bundle in his embrace pull at her clothes. She lowered her head and looked into the sleeping treasure's large eyes. "What's wrong, darling?"

"Mommy, what were you talking about with Uncle just now?"

Fortunately, Sleeping Treasure was still young and didn't understand. She reached out and touched his face, shaking her head. "It's nothing. Just now, your uncle said he would send a waiter here to accompany you. Are you happy?"

Nightbreak Trickster immediately broke out into a smile, his hands and feet dancing as he said, "I'm so happy about it."

Then, with a worried look on his face, he asked, "Mommy, are you unhappy?"

"Darling, I'm sorry. Mommy was just thinking about some unhappy things that made you worry. Everything is fine now, it's all in the past now. Mommy will be very satisfied with you by her side."

Nightbreak Trickster hugged her back and spoke in an adult's manner, "Mommy, in your past, Sleeping Treasure didn't participate, but in your future, he will definitely protect you!"

Ji An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Where did you learn to coax people from?"

Sleeping Bao replied shyly, "On TV, second uncle said that if you want to catch a girl, you have to learn these words. Only then will you have twice the results with half the effort. Sleeping Bao won't let anyone bully Mommy! But Mommy, what do you mean by 'half the effort is worth twice the effort'? "

"Don't learn anything from your second uncle, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Ji An didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but in the end, his eyes became wet.

Back then, that person had personally torn apart those promises. She thought that no one would be sincere to her anymore. Yet, at this moment, her heart was once again surrounded by warmth.

Holding the soft glutinous rice ball in her arms, those torn wounds couldn't help but be tossed to the back of her mind.

In the evening, her cell phone rang.

When she was in B City, her cell phone had not moved for 10 days to half a month. Now that she was here, she had quite a bit of work to do.

When she saw the name displayed, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes, but she immediately picked it up.

"Hello, Director Xie."

"Miss Ji, I'm sorry to call you, but did I disturb you?" Xie Langxuan's gentle voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

When one's voice was pleasant to the ears when one was unable to see one another through interactions with others, it would increase one's score. As for Xie Langxuan, he was one such person.

"No, I'm not busy right now."

"Then is Miss Ji free right now?"

Ji Anan really wanted to swallow that sentence. Even if he said he wasn't free, he wanted to cover it up.

"Miss Ji, please don't misunderstand. It's like this; last time, I couldn't finish the meal, so I'm quite regretful. I wanted to ask if you could do me a favor tonight, or else my cousin would pester me every day and I would have a headache myself."

Perhaps others would complain if they heard this, but from his mouth, there was a feeling of helplessness. It could be seen that this person really loved and doted upon his cousin.

He must be a gentle, kind person, Ji Anan thought to himself.

"Director Xie is too polite. How about you tell your cousin that we've already eaten?"

The other party chuckled and joked, "Miss Ji, as a person, one must be honest. Moreover, I'm a businessman. Otherwise, if that cousin of mine were to imitate me in the future, wouldn't I be a bad example?"

It wasn't appropriate for Ji Anan to refuse. He agreed. "Then I'll accept it, rather than being courteous."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Langxuan got up and took the car keys, saying to Secretary Liu, "Help me book a seat at the Hibiscus Courtyard."

Secretary Liu looked at the CEO's back and touched his head. Could the CEO have spent the last two days of his work just to meet a beauty?

They had never seen the CEO treating this woman with such concern. That Miss Ji was way too formidable!
