Jing Chen looked at the person in his arms sleeping soundly. He walked out of the bedroom quietly and went to the study further away.

Zhao Lin was already waiting inside.

“How’s the investigation going?” Jing Chen’s expression was cold, completely different from how he treated Su Wan just now.

“His confidentiality is very good, but there should be a result soon.” Zhao Lin handed the document to Jing Chen.

Jing Chen picked it up and flipped through it before throwing it on the table at the side. “The Jiang family is developing very well overseas. They must have thought of this long ago when they suddenly returned to the country. Continue investigating, get them to speed up.”

He was afraid that if he slowed down, Jiang Xin would force Su Wan to leave again.

Thinking of Jiang Xin, Jing Chen said to Zhao Lin, “Send a message to Miss Jiang tomorrow and ask her to look for me at the company.”

“Yes.” Zhao Lin did not ask for the reason. He just did as he was told.

After instructing him, Jing Chen turned around and returned to his room.

He gently lifted the blanket and entered. As soon as he lay down, Su Wan rolled over from the other side and hugged him.

A night of peaceful slumber.

When Su Wan woke up the next day, the space beside her was already empty. However, when she touched the bed, there was still some warmth.

Su Wan walked out of the room and saw Zhao Lin guarding outside. “Zhao Lin, has Jing Chen left?”

“Young Madam, President Jing has something on and left first. He asked me to stay here and guard Young Madam. If Young Madam wants to go home, I will send you back,” Zhao Lin replied obediently.

“It will become boring without Jing Chen here,” Su Wan muttered. Then, she said to Zhao Lin, “Then wait for me. I’ll go home after I’m done packing.”

“Yes.”

Soon, Su Wan set off on the way back. When she came, she didn’t observe the scenery outside properly. This time, she went home alone and simply admired the scenery outside the car window.

There were many big trees planted at the edge of the grassland, but many of their leaves had fallen. The road was long and winding. As the car drove forward, the grassland kept retreating. Every section of the road presented a different scenery.

This grassland was a gift from this winter. Green represented hope. Did it mean that there was definitely hope for her, Jing Chen, and the situation regarding the Jiang family?

In the office of the Jing Corporation.

Jing Chen was sitting behind his desk reading documents. Jiang Xin looked as if she was familiar with her own company. She pushed the door open and entered with a smile. “Jing Chen, this is the first time you took the initiative to look for me today. Did you agree to Grandpa’s and my suggestion?”

She had been back in the country for a while. She was the one who took the initiative to look for Jing Chen.

This time, he actually took the initiative to look for her. It was hard for her not to guess that it was because of this.

She had just talked to Su Wan yesterday. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have happened so quickly.

Unexpectedly, Jing Chen still looked at her coldly, as if he was treating an outsider. When he heard her enter, he did not even look up.

Jiang Xin was disappointed for a moment.

“Sit down yourself. I’ll tell you after I’m done with what I’m doing.” Jing Chen flipped through the documents in his hand and casually gestured for Jiang Xin to sit.

Jiang Xin’s disappointment was swept away when she heard this.

Tell her? About marrying her?

Jiang Xin thought about it and lowered her head shyly.

But as time passed, Jing Chen still did not put down the document in his hand.

Jiang Xin was getting impatient. She often looked up to watch Jing Chen work.

She had to admit that a serious man was really handsome.

Jiang Xin was mesmerized for a moment before she sat down and waited for a long time.

An hour later, Jiang Xin frowned. She felt bored and wanted to stand up and leave.

At this moment, Jing Chen finally put down the document in his hand. Seeing Jiang Xin’s actions, he asked, “Is Miss Jiang leaving?”

Jiang Xin smiled awkwardly and sat back down, but this time, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. “Jing Chen, what exactly do you want to tell me?”

Her heart suddenly started to beat quickly and she was very nervous.

Would it be about marrying her?

“Since I asked Miss Jiang to come, of course it’s about Miss Jiang,” Jing Chen replied unhurriedly. “I’ve thought about it and feel that Old Master Jiang and Miss Jiang’s suggestion is not bad, but…”

When Jing Chen said that he would consider it, Jiang Xin’s eyes lit up. The more she listened to Jing Chen, the more agitated she became. “But what?”

“You need to sign the contract first before we can consider our matter.” Jing Chen interlocked his fingers on the table and looked at Jiang Xin calmly.
