"Mommy, Daddy said you were going to give birth to my brother and sister."
"Mommy, are you really going to give birth to my brother and sister?" Chen Xi had just finished washing up and was walking down the stairs. He had a head full of chicken nests, and before he had even fully recovered from his sleep, he heard Little Kid sitting on the living room carpet downstairs, looking at him and asking with an excited expression.
"Your dad lied to you. Last night, your dad told Mommy that if she had a younger brother or sister, she would sell you to a trafficker."
"Stop thinking about your little brother and sister, Mommy only wants you. Do you really want Mommy and your dad to stop loving you after they have a little brother and sister?" Chen Xi staggered and almost fell over.
As expected … the Little Kid had already been bought by Jiang Mochuan.
However, Chen Xi still adhered to his own principles.
When the Little Kid heard Chen Xi's words, a trace of suspicion and warning appeared in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Mochuan, who was sitting beside him and accompanying him in assembling a toy for the morning.
"You can believe what your mommy says?"
"If your mommy really didn't like you, she wouldn't have brought you into this world. No matter if your mommy gave birth to a younger brother or sister, Daddy would still love you the same." It was always easy to gain trust from Jiang Mochuan's calm tone.
Hearing that even Jiang Mochuan had given her such a guarantee, Little Kid turned his head, his face still filled with excitement. He was waiting for Chen Xi to say the words to give birth to his little brother and sister.
"..." Chen Xi could no longer be bothered with the father and son duo's words. He directly went to the kitchen to look for Nanny Wang for food.
"Oh right, there's something else I need to tell you." Chen Xi sat on the sofa and looked at Jiang Mochuan who was sitting on the carpet beside the Little Kid.
"What's wrong?"
"Um … Chen Yi is getting engaged to Bai Luoze, will you have the time to accompany me then?" Jiang Mochuan raised his head and looked at Chen Xi, waiting for him to continue.
"Did you want me to go with you, or did your father want me to?" Jiang Mochuan asked with a smile on his face.
Chen Xi knew that it would be embarrassing to say this since he was, after all, a veteran of the mall who wandered around for a few years.
"…"
"Hehe … Don't mind these details. When you see it, do you have the time to go with me? If I don't have the time, then I can go by myself." Chen Xi laughed dryly.
Speaking of this matter out loud, it did seem like she was begging Jiang Mochuan.
"Mm, just let me know when you're sure." Jiang Mochuan looked at Chen Xi who was sitting on the sofa, and said with a wronged tone.
"Hahaha … I knew you were easy to talk to." When Chen Xi heard Jiang Mochuan's words, he finally became happy. His excited mood was always hard to describe, and Chen Xi actually didn't know what he was happy about either.
Just hearing that Jiang Mochuan would attend Chen Yi's engagement ceremony with him made her feel indescribably good.
"Hurry up and go eat." Seeing how happy Chen Xi was, Jiang Mochuan felt that after he had Chen Xi and the Little Kid with him, his emotions would inevitably be affected by them and become inexplicably good.
On the second day, Chen Xi got up on time and went to the company with Jiang Mochuan. In these few days when Jiang Mochuan was not around, Chen Xi would report to the company on time every single day.
Only yesterday, when Jiang Mochuan returned home, he stayed at the company for a day. During the rest of the time, Chen Xi felt that when Jiang Mochuan was not around, he truly felt like he was back when he was working in France.
When Jiang Mochuan was not around, he only needed to make a phone call for the Design Department to send over the design manuscript to him for him to review. Furthermore, it basically meant that he could have as many as he wanted.
When Jiang Mochuan wasn't around, he had spent all his time in the company.
The moment Jiang Mochuan returned, Chen Xi felt that something was amiss, as his workload had decreased by a lot.
Jiang Mochuan seemed to be controlling his workload intentionally.
Since Chen Xi came to Jiang Mochuan's company, he had only known Lin Xue and Zhang Xiang, the design director of the design department.
But most of the time, Chen Xi would only call Zhang Xiang when he wanted to draw a script, the rest of the time, Chen Xi never took the initiative to contact Zhang Xiang in private.
"What's wrong? Bored? " Jiang Mochuan felt that something was amiss with Chen Xi's emotions. He walked over to Chen Xi's side and sat down, stretching his neck as he looked at the design on the table that Chen Xi had reviewed and asked.
"What do you think? I'm going to get moldy from sitting."
"Gu Xiangjun has left the company a long time ago. Last time, after what happened with Gu Xiangjun, no one came to the company to bully me."
"Just let me go to the translation department and find Lin Xue for a while." Chen Xi lifted his head and looked at Jiang Mochuan unhappily, his tone complaining about Jiang Mochuan's selfishness.
In fact, Chen Xi understood in his heart that Jiang Mochuan did not give him too much work to do because it was for his own good, and did not want to tire him out.
Chen Xi also knew that the reason why Jiang Mochuan didn't let him go to the translation department was for his own good. Jiang Mochuan was worried that if he went there alone, he would encounter the same situation with Gu Xiangjun at the teahouse.
But Jiang Mochuan did not know that all the employees in the company called him a tigress in private.
"I'll tell Lin Yang to send you over. We'll be back in half an hour, I still have to work."
"I never use money to support idle people. I've made an exception for you this time." Jiang Mochuan experienced Chen Xi's true boredom.
In order to prevent Chen Xi from getting unhappy, Jiang Mochuan could only compromise.
It was unknown when Jiang Mochuan had started to pay extra attention to the emotions of this "little kitten" in front of him.
"I can't be considered as playing. I'm just training the elites." Chen Xi retorted unhappily.
"Alright, alright. I know that everything you say makes sense. I can't say anything, can I?"
"Lin Yang is already waiting for you at the door. Remember, you can only return in half an hour, or else I would consider expelling her." Jiang Mochuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Chen Xi's plausible explanation. He really felt that whatever Chen Xi said in front of him, made sense.
But Jiang Mochuan did not realize that after so long, he had almost become a living wife.
Jiang Mochuan plotted in his heart to bring Chen Xi to the public to let them know.
Because he didn't want Chen Xi to think about it too much.
After Chen Xi left, Jiang Mochuan sat on the desk and looked at the entrance of the office in a daze. From time to time, he would raise his hand and look at the watch on his wrist, as though the moment he couldn't see Chen Xi's state of mind, he would become inexplicably agitated.
After being frightened by his own thoughts, Jiang Mochuan realized that he seemed to have lost control of his temper since he got to know Chen Xi.
"President, would you like to see a fashion week planning book next Wednesday?" After Lin Yang sent Chen Xi to the Translation Department, he returned to Jiang Mochuan's office.
"You just need to let me take part in these matters. You don't need to ask me about it." Because Jiang Mochuan was unable to see clearly, his mood had become inexplicably somewhat irritable, but in the end, he didn't affect others with too much emotion.
"But … this fashion week's clothing audit was approved by the Lady one by one. In another way, it could be considered a semi-finished product by the Lady herself." Lin Yang spoke the truth.
It was not that he wanted Jiang Mochuan to attend the Fashion Week, but he was worried that if he did not explain everything clearly, Jiang Mochuan would deduct his salary.
