lowed suit, watching Second Uncle and Second Aunt walk out before she went to Qiao Dexiang's study. " 。When Qiao Dexiang saw Ye Wen push the door open, his first reaction was to frown. 。He didn't spea...Qin Jingwen said bluntly, her purpose was not to bother the old man, but to create more opportunities for Qiao Shunchen to come here. 。"Don't worry, don't worry, welcome to come again!" 。" Qiao Liang quickly responded, also understanding Qin Jingwen's meaning. 。"Uncle, we would like to have lunch here, or I can cook it myself." 。Qin Jingwen felt she was being a bit too bold, not even knowing if Qiao Liang liked her before staying here. 。But she had no other choice. 。“Qin Jingwen 。"

Joe Shun-Chen finally couldn't help but coldly remind Qin Jingwen that she was acting arbitrarily. He had been using his hands to convey his opposition, but unexpectedly, Qin Jingwen ignored his feelings and became more and more willful, even wanting to stay here for lunch. She hadn't mentioned this before coming. " 。Joe Shunchen finally spoke, though it was only three words, and his tone was bad, but he spoke after all. This already made Qin Jingwen very happy. 。Qin Jingwen's lips curved upwards, and her dimples deepened. 。She ignored the anger in Qiao Shunchen's eyes and spoke softly. 。“I'm hungry, do you have the heart to let me go back home with an empty stomach” 。Qin Jingwen wasn't hungry, she just hoped Qiao Shunchen could stay by her father's side for a little longer. After all, such opportunities were too rare, and it was probably the first time in many years that he had taken the initiative to visit. 。"If you're hungry, go back and eat. Let's go now." 。" Qiao Shunchen said and got up, pulling Qin Jingwen to leave. 。At this time, the most nervous person was not Qin Jingwen, but Qiao Liang. 。As Qiao Shunchen stood up to leave, his heart clenched, and his anxiety was evident. 。All of this Qin Jingwen saw with her own eyes. It seemed that Qiao Liang cared very much about this son, caring to the point where every move the son made touched his heart. 。Qin Jingwen's hand was being pulled by Qiao Shunchen, but she still sat there without moving. The smile on her face remained, but this time it was accompanied by a hint of defiance. 。I can't wait to get home, I'll starve to death halfway there. 。I just want to eat here. 。Qin Jingwen had never acted like a little woman before Qiao Shunchen, but at this moment, she was desperate and used every trick in the book. 。Qin Jingwen's eyes were filled with sympathy, looking at Qiao Shunchen made her feel a bit sorry for him. 。But he couldn't have dinner with his father after all, and finally..."I'll go back first, you eat here." 。As Qiao Shunchen was about to leave, Qin Jingwen noticed that Qiao Liang's emotions were even more tense. Every nerve in his body was on edge, afraid that his son would just leave like this 。Qin Jingwen pulled at Qiao Shunchen's hand with all her might, using both hands when one wasn't enough. 。"You're coming to pick us up at night, how much trouble..." 。Qin Jingwen was still as good-natured as ever. In front of Qiao Liang, she couldn't be stubborn yet. 。"I won't take it, go back yourself" 。" Qiao Shunchen wanted to leave, but his hand was held by Qin Jingwen. 。Seeing her being so adorable even when she was acting like that, Qiao Shunchen couldn't bear to push her hand away. He just stood there. 。“I don't have a car, how are we going to get back” 。If you don't care about us, I'll stay here with the two children. 。"Uncle, why don't you just stay I'm hungry too." 。“

Ban Yue was quick to speak up and help Mommy. She didn't know Mommy's intentions, but she supported her wholeheartedly. " 。"Daddy, just stay." 。“

Joe Hsu said softly

When Daddy is angry, he never dares to speak. 。Today, he only dared to timidly follow suit because both Aunt and Ban Yue were present. 。Please leave. 。“ That sentence, spoken with immense anticipation, was Qiao Liang’s. 。He wanted his son to stay more than anyone else, even just for a little while longer, even just to sit in silence with him. That would be a luxury for him. 。

“……”

Qiao Shunchen’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes filled with cold and intensity, but he didn't speak.

"It's just having lunch, not going to the guillotine. There's nothing wrong with that." 。What would you like to eat I'll cook for you. 。"

Qin Jingwen spoke in a conciliatory tone, her voice soft as she deliberated, never letting go of his hands. " 。At this time, Zi Yue ran to Qiao Shunchen's side, grabbed his other hand, and started acting coquettishly, begging him. 。"Uncle, just stay. You can't bear to let Ban Yue go home hungry." 。" Meanwhile, as Ban Yue spoke, she pushed hard at Qiao Shunchen. Coupled with Qin Jingwen's forceful pulling on his other side, Qiao Shunchen finally sat back beside Qin Jingwen out of helplessness. " 。As soon as he sat down, it meant he had conceded. Everyone in the living room, including Zhou Zhi, relaxed their tense nerves. 。Among them, Qiao Liang was the happiest. 。He was excited like a child, suddenly standing up from the sofa. 。Today I cooked myself, I made lunch for you 。"

Qiao Liang said and quickly walked towards the kitchen, the two children excitedly followed to join in the fun

" 。At this time, only Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen were left in the living room. Just looking at Qiao Shunchen's face, it became even more gloomy. 。"Qin Jingwen, you're not following the rules. You said you'd come and see me but went back." 。Then don't wait for another time. 。" Joe Shunchen angrily reprimanded Qin Jingwen, but Qin Jingwen didn't seem angry at all. Instead, the smile on her face became even more brilliant. " 。She looked around to make sure no one was watching, then she reached out her arms and gave Joe Shunchen a hug. 。He whispered softly in his ear. 。Thank you for staying 。Otherwise, I'll lose face. 。Such a gentle voice, melting the cold heart at this moment. 。All resentment and anger from before have vanished. 。"Then reward me" 。"

The voice was still cold, but you could tell there was a mischievous element to it

Qin Jingwen left Qiao Shunchen's chest and looked around again to make sure no one was watching. Then, she took the initiative to kiss Qiao Shunchen. 。The kiss was like a dragonfly's touch, ending in an instant, yet it filled Qiao Shunchen with happiness and satisfaction. 。"Is that okay If you listen, I'll give you even more rewards." 。Qin Jing smiled sweetly, her bright and clear eyes reflecting a mischievous look. 。When I came in, I saw a basketball court under the trees over there. You took the kids to play basketball. 。I went to the kitchen to help my uncle cook. 。"Then you won't have to keep looking at your uncle, how do you like that Am I considerate" 。"As Qin Jingwen spoke, she got up and pulled Qiao Shunchen up with her. " 。Chiu Shun-chen really didn't want to face his father, so he took the two children out to play, which allowed Qin Jingwen to come to the kitchen to help. 。 “Uncle, I will help you” 。“Then Qin Jingwen started helping out.” 。Okay, you help me 。" Jo Liang didn't object because there were some things he wanted to tell Qin Jingwen privately. 。"Child, Uncle first thanks you, thank you for bringing Shunchen here" 。"Uncle, don't thank me, I didn't do anything. It was his idea that changed, otherwise he wouldn't have come." 。"Qin Jingwen said modestly. 。"That's also you who made him change. 。Qiao Liang paused for a moment, then opened his mouth thoughtfully. 。"Wenwen, I've known about Shunchen and all that has happened for so many years." 。Some of it I was told by my grandfather, some of it I had people investigate, but I limited myself to official matters. I never investigated personal matters; those I only heard from my grandfather about. But your existence, I was unaware of. 。"I want to know what your relationship is, don't mind me" Qiao Liang was afraid of hurting Qin Jingwen, so he asked cautiously. 。"Uncle, I don't mind " 。To put it plainly, my relationship with CEO Joe... is an inappropriate romantic one. 。He gave me money, and I stayed with him. 。Qin Jingwen wasn't surprised at all that Qiao Liang would ask like this. After all, her appearance was quite sudden, and any father wouldn't care about it. 。She didn't try to hide her relationship with Qiao Shunchen from Qiao Liang. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been holding his hand and letting everyone see it. 。"Uncle, please rest assured, I won't pester Mr. Qiao. I know my limits and will step back when it's time." 。Qin Jingwen was afraid that Qiao Liang would be like Qiao Dexiang, disliking her presence. She quickly stated her position to avoid making the relationship between father and son worse because of her. 。"Child, you've thought too much. Uncle doesn't concern himself with these matters, nor does Uncle have any social standing." 。His private matters are only his concern as long as he is happy. 。“ Qiao Liang hurriedly explained that he cared about Qiao Shunchen but didn't interfere. 。He doesn't want his son to live an unhappy life like he did. 。Joe Liang's reaction surprised Qin Jingwen. He and Joe Dexiang were completely different types of people. He didn't seem to dislike her, nor was he worried that she would have a negative influence on Joe Shunchen. 。“You intentionally brought Shunchen to me, didn't you That means you know about the conflict between him and me.” 。" Qiao Liang said determinedly, never stopping his cooking. 。"Actually, the Chairman asked me to ease the tension between you two. The Chairman didn't say anything, so I had no clue where to start. So I went to Song Xinzhe and inquired about it a bit, and I got an idea of how strained your relationship is." 。Qin Jingwen didn't hide anything, she told the truth. 。"Uncle, I'm sorry. I don't want to pry into your private affairs. It's just that without knowing the truth, I can't open Mr. Qiao's heart knot and therefore can't complete the task assigned to me by the Chairman." 。" Qin Jingwen took the initiative to apologize. If it weren't for Qiao Shunchen, she wouldn't have casually inquired about other people's privacy. " 。"It's nothing, it's not a secret." 。Those who know, know. I'm not afraid of being known. 。I really appreciate you doing this, no matter the reason or how you managed it, at least Shunchen has made it here to me. 。This child has practically cut off contact with me since his mother passed away. 。I only get to see him on New Year's Eve when we have our reunion dinner. It's a pity that he doesn't speak to me. 。"The fact that he can even make it here now is his greatest limit. This is all thanks to you." 。"Just from this, Qiao Liang knew Qin Jingwen wasn't an ordinary person to Qiao Shunchen. " 。The conflict between the father and son has been mediated by many people over the years, but to no avail. Qin Jingwen is the only one who can make Qiao Shunchen change. 。"Uncle, don't worry either. The fact that he came here is a good start. Since I promised the chairman, I will do my best to open his heart knot." 。Qin Jingwen heard the helplessness in Qiao Liang's tone and quickly comforted him. 。It seems like both father and son haven't had it easy all these years, they both seem to be carrying things inside. 。This might also be the reason why Joe wanted her help. He didn't want his father and son to remain estranged like this either. 。“Oh well, no need to worry anymore. Now that I have you, I don't worry anymore.” 。Joe Liang let out a long sigh, feeling the heavy clouds that had weighed on his heart for years slowly disperse. It wouldn't be long before he could see the sun again. 。to hear this, and he had only called Qiao Shunchen and Qin Jingwen alone at Qin Jingwen's request to explain the situation. 。Now that his term is over, if he doesn't let Qiao Shunchen leave, he's afr...
