Jiang An thought of Xiyun and subconsciously felt that Zou Bai would definitely like it. “I heard that after you took over, you forged the ZL Group into an iron plate. I thought you were only interested in the business world.”
Zou Bai’s deep laughter came from the phone. “I’m not a robot who doesn’t have any hobbies but work. It’s obvious that your understanding of me is lacking. But it doesn’t matter. There will be plenty of time in the future.”
When Jiang An heard this, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly again. She rolled her eyes slightly. “Who wants to understand you? Let’s sleep. I’m tired. You haven’t showered yet, right? Wash up and rest early. It’s not the weekend tomorrow.”
Hearing Jiang An’s concerned tone, Zou Bai lay on his back in the rocking chair and looked at the sky gently. “Alright, you go to sleep quickly. Goodnight, Miss Jiang.”
“Goodnight, Mr. Zou.” Jiang An’s soft voice came through the phone. In the silent night, Zou Bai suddenly felt that he was not so lonely anymore.
The next morning, Jiang An went to the main building to have breakfast with her family.
Jiang Yi’s scenes today were in the afternoon and at night. Jiang Huai hurriedly finished his breakfast and rushed to the set.
Li Mei and Jiang Hai looked at each other and signaled for her husband to go to work first. She needed to talk to her alone.
Jiang An’s attention was still on the progress of breakfast and the two children’s meals.
Li Mei didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point. “An’an, was Zou Bai the one who sent you back last night?”
Jiang An nodded. “That’s right. We had a meal together yesterday and he sent us back.”
Li Mei asked in confusion, “Why did he suddenly think of eating with you?”
Jiang An was already prepared to be questioned. From the reaction of Li Mei and her family, she could tell that her parents didn’t want her to get too close to the Zou family.
Actually, Jiang An didn’t plan to reveal that Zou Bai was the biological father of the two children for the time being. Firstly, this was considered an affair. Even if she was an innocent person who was forced into this, she couldn’t say it out loud. Moreover, they had sex under such circumstances. The most ridiculous thing was that she didn’t know until the children were almost one year old.
Secondly, she was worried that her parents would be worried that the Zou family would go against the Jiang family because of their children. Although she and Zou Bai had only confirmed their relationship yesterday, the final outcome was still unknown. Jiang An planned to talk to Zou Bai for a month first. After understanding Zou Bai and confirming his future plans for the two of them, she would talk about her relationship with Zou Bai.
Jiang An smiled as if nothing had happened. “Mother, he wanted to see Little Wingsy. Speaking of which, he seems to really like our two little fellows.”
Li Mei was still a little suspicious. “That’s all? Why did 1 hear from your brother that Zou Bai looked for you yesterday for something? The two of you don’t interact much. Why would he look for you?”
Jiang An lowered her head and took a sip of soy milk. She replied calmly, “Zou Bai wants to borrow Little Wingsy and Little Feather for a day. He seemed to have a friend who wants to get married and is looking for flower children, but 1 rejected him. Little Wingsy and Little Feather are still too young. The wedding venue is too messy and they’re all strangers. I’m a little worried about their safety.”
When Li Mei heard Jiang An’s rejection, she focused all her attention on the first half of the sentence. “Zou Bai is so kind?! However, only those two brats from the Meng family and the Lin family can make him come forward like this. But I haven’t heard of either of those two families having a wedding.”
Jiang An’s heart skipped a beat. She pretended to be calm and drank another mouthful of soy milk. “Then I’m not sure. After all, I’ve already rejected him. It’s not good to ask further, lest I don’t help if I ask. It’s not good to watch others to gossip.”
Seeing that Jiang An didn’t know anything, Li Mei didn’t ask further and changed the topic. “By the way, Jiang Zhen will come to Jingdu City next Friday in advance. Don’t arrange anything else that night. Come back early for dinner and welcome Jiang Zhen.”
Jiang An agreed obediently. “Okay, 1 understand.”
Li Mei glanced at Jiang An and hesitated for a moment before saying, “An’an, your father and 1 watched Jiang Zhen grow up. He looks cold and aloof, but he’s a loyal person. He’s capable at work and has always been clean in his private life. He hasn’t had a girlfriend since he was born. What’s your impression of him?”
Jiang An listened to her mother talk as if they were a good match. She turned to look at Li Mei and pretended not to understand the meaning behind her words. “I feel that he’s quite like my brothers. He takes good care of me and is a very responsible person..”
