Jiang He looked at Ji Chen and suddenly felt that the person sitting opposite her was too unfamiliar. He was so unfamiliar that she was not even sure if this was her child.

When Ji Chen lowered his eyes and opened them again, Jiang He finally threw away that strange thought.

“Chen’er, how can you be so sure? What if, what if Gu Xiao is willing? You can’t just decide this for Gu Xiao…”

“Mom!” Ji Chen’s tone became colder and colder as he interrupted Jiang He. “1 hope you can do as 1 said just now and not disturb Xiaoxiao!”

Jiang He did not expect Ji Chen to speak to her like this. For a moment, she could not react and did not know what to say.

She knew that although Ji Chen was a little cold, and also because he often stayed by Old Master Ji’s side when he was young, he was not very close to her and Ji Gao.

But in the past, when Ji Chen faced her, although he looked rather cold, she could still sense that he had feelings for her, and he would not be really impatient with her.

But just now, she did hear the impatience in Ji Chen’s words. If she continued to pester him, he would definitely fall out with her.

Jiang He was a strong person in her career, but she was also a soft person in his life. The only time she was tough was when she opposed Old Master Ji and Ji Gao, divorcing Ji Gao for the sake of Ji Chen.

She needed someone she could rely on.

Now that she no longer had Ji Gao and only had Ji Chen to rely on, she did not want to fall out with Ji Chen.

Jiang He pouted and swallowed the words she wanted to say under Ji Chen’s gaze.

She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a humble tone, “Alright, I understand. 1’11 do as you say.”

After receiving Jiang He’s reply, Ji Chen’s expression became slightly better.

“Mom, don’t worry. As long as 1 have time, 1 will come and see you.” Ji Chen promised Jiang He.

Actually, after calming down, he could roughly guess why Jiang He’s mentality had changed so much. At the end of the day, it was only because there were originally so many people around her and she had once had a successful career. Now that she had become like this, she kept hoping to find something she could do.

However, he had too many things to do in the company now, so he could not keep taking time to visit Jiang He.

However… when he thought of the overly lively person in the company, he seemed to be able to bring him home and let Jiang He get to know him so that he could accompany Jiang He on his behalf.

The moment this idea appeared in Ji Chen’s mind, he could not get rid of it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea seemed to be very good.

Jiang He carefully glanced at Ji Chen, who was sitting opposite her. Then, under his signal, they continued to eat this unfinished meal.

However, after what had just happened, the originally delicious food on the table tasted like wax to Jiang He. She did not know what she had eaten.

After dinner, Ji Chen stayed in Jiang He’s villa for a period of time before getting up to bid farewell.

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Jiang He hurriedly stood up with a hint of pleading in her eyes. “Chen’er, can’t you stay today?”

In the past, Jiang He always felt that the bigger the house, the better. She even felt that the Ji family’s villa was too small.

But now, even though the villa she was in was clearly smaller than the Ji family’s villa, she felt that this villa was really too empty. The empty house really made her a little unhappy.

It was as if a corner of her heart had been shattered. The cold wind blew into her heart, making her feel cold all over.

Ji Chen looked at the current Jiang He and his heart moved slightly.

Gu Xiao had no obligation or reason to visit Jiang He. This was because Gu Xiao had never received any love from Jiang He.

However, he could not do that. He knew that Jiang He loved him. He had received love from Jiang He, so he could not leave Jiang He alone.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen looked at Jiang He with a slightly gentler gaze. “Mom, I still have an urgent matter to attend to tomorrow and need to arrive at the company early. It will be more convenient for me to stay in a house near the company.”

Upon hearing this, the trace of antic.i.p.ation in Jiang He’s eyes completely extinguished.

“However, 1 will come back to accompany you during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day.”

Just when Jiang He was disappointed, she heard Ji Chen say this again. Her originally dim eyes lit up again.

“Okay! Okay! Then I’ll cook and wait for you to come home.”

Although she did not know how to cook, she still said this subconsciously, as if this way, she could get closer to Ji Chen.

Ji Chen nodded and said a few more words to Jiang He. After comforting her, he left Jiang He’s house completely..
