Jin Xiaoxi took the opportunity to signal an "ok" to Su Xiaorui, who was peeking at her through the glass wall of the arcade.
Su Xiaorui's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Jin Ye outside.
She suddenly felt her mother had lied to her. That man was clearly her father, looking so much like her! Most importantly, he was so handsome!
No wonder her brother looked like her. It turned out her brother was right, that was their father! Why didn't her mother let her acknowledge their father?
She remembered being bullied by classmates at school abroad who said she didn't have a father, and she felt wronged.
She clearly had a father!
Although Jin Xiaoxi wanted his father to know of Xiaorui's existence, he didn't want to hurt his mother, so he spoke up for Su Ding.
"Dad, I want to go back and sleep early."
Jin Ye frowned. This little guy usually didn't go to bed this early. Today was strange?
Su Ding quickly said, "Xiaoxi has been playing all day, he should go back and rest early. Mr. Jin, thank you for your kindness, perhaps next time."
Jin Ye couldn't insist further, so he took Jin Xiaoxi and turned to leave.
Only after the father and son disappeared from sight did Su Ding go into the arcade to bring Su Xiaorui out. Seeing the loss and sadness on her daughter's face, she felt somewhat guilty.
"Mom," Xiaorui called out pitifully.
"Yes, my dear, let's go home, be good. Mommy won't do this again next time, I'm sorry."
Su Ding looked at her daughter's cute and innocent face, feeling a pang of heartache. She wondered if she had made a mistake? Should she not have stopped them from meeting?
She clenched her fist, making a decision in her heart.
If the results came back and it wasn't him, then so be it. But if he was indeed Jin Ye's child, she would explain things clearly to both children and let them make their own choices!
That night, as soon as Su Ding put Su Xiaorui to sleep, her phone vibrated twice.
WeChat.
Jin Ye: Are you there?
Su Ding was so startled she almost dropped her phone. Why was Jin Ye chatting with her on WeChat so late at night?
Su Ding thought for a moment before replying: Yes, Mr. Jin, it's so late, aren't you asleep yet?
After a long time, Jin Ye didn't reply.
Su Ding was about to close her eyes and rest when her phone buzzed again.
Jin Ye: Why did you lie to me?
Su Ding: ??? Lie... to you?
Jin Ye didn't reply again. Su Ding typed: What did I lie to you about?
Jin Ye still didn't reply. Su Ding was so angry she wanted to throw her phone through the internet to hit that mysterious man's face. He was bothering her late at night and saying such strange things.
No matter what he sent, she decided to pretend to be asleep and not reply!
Buzz...
Buzz...
Su Ding couldn't suppress her curiosity and opened it.
Jin Ye: You are not married
Jin Ye: Why did you lie and say you were?
Su Ding suddenly felt a bit guilty. She pretended not to see it, moved her phone aside, and closed her eyes.
The night was quiet. Su Ding inexplicably felt her heart beat a little faster, and Jin Ye's handsome face, his aloof demeanor, and his imposing and noble temperament flashed through her mind...
Someone like him wouldn't resort to unspoken rules, would he?
There were countless women who wanted to get into his bed; why would he have taken an interest in her?
She must have misunderstood.
After a bout of wild thoughts, her phone still hadn't received a reply. Su Ding suddenly felt a bit dejected and unhappy. Who knew how many women were in this Mr. Jin's bed?
Drowsiness washed over her, and she was about to fall asleep when her phone vibrated again.
Jin Ye: Come find me at the company tomorrow
Jin Ye: Work
After reading it, Su Ding felt that the word "work" seemed superfluous no matter how she looked at it. Just as she was wondering, she saw that message being recalled!
Jin Ye, on the other end, felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he had leaked something?
He rubbed his sore temples, thinking the woman was probably asleep and hadn't seen it.
Immediately after, two messages popped up on WeChat...
Su Ding: Received!
Su Ding: Mr. Jin, I saw it~ Goodnight!
Seeing the "Goodnight," Jin Ye's usually cold and expressionless face actually flushed faintly, and his mood suddenly improved.
He thought for a moment and typed back: Goodnight.
The next day.
Su Ding rushed to the company early. Standing at the door of the CEO's office, she took a deep breath and knocked.
"Come in."
A deep, magnetic voice rang out, and Su Ding's heart skipped a few beats.
Pushing the door open, she saw Jin Ye sitting upright at his desk, wearing a well-fitting, sharp black suit, his hair meticulously combed, and gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He exuded the aura of a business magnate.
He slowly looked up, his cold gaze sweeping over Su Ding, and his thin lips parted, "Please sit."
After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to handle the documents in his hands.
Nervously, Su Ding walked to the small reception sofa inside and sat down. She raised her head and stealthily gazed at the man engrossed in his work.
Cold, handsome, noble.
So perfect that she dared not approach, possessing a detached indifference that seemed untouched by the world...
With nothing to do, Su Ding took out her phone to play with. Recalling Jin Ye's conversation with her last night, she couldn't help but scroll back to their chat history.
It was very short, but...
She still couldn't help but want to look at it a few more times.
This was Mr. Jin, the business magnate, the richest man in Jiangcheng, and the head of the Jin family, the wealthiest family of the era, sending her personal messages late at night!
Admittedly, to some extent, it did satisfy Su Ding's vanity.
Suddenly, a sharp voice came.
"What are you looking at?"
