Chapter 359 As Long as He Is There

"Everyone, continue working and don't delay the progress." I waved my hand, and my tone softened a little, but still carried unquestionable majesty.

The sounds of keyboards and papers shuffling re-emerged in the studio, but the atmosphere was still tense. I sat back in my chair, rubbed my temples, and silently thought about my next plan.

"Sister Mo, drink some water." Xu Sisi quietly handed over a cup of warm water in a gentle voice.

I took the cup of water and smiled at her: "Thank you."

She nodded, said nothing more, and turned back to her seat.

I took a sip of water, and the cool water slid down my throat, making me a little more sober. In any case, things must be solved one by one. I picked up my phone and sent a message to Jiang Yichen: "I may have to work overtime tonight, you should go home and accompany Xiao Huai first."

After sending the message, I returned to my work with only one thought in my mind: no matter what, the rhythm of the studio must not be disrupted.

I was buried in front of the computer, my fingers rapidly tapping the keyboard, when suddenly my phone vibrated. I glanced at it and saw a message from Jiang Yichen: "Working overtime? Didn't we agree to have dinner with Xiao Huai tonight? And the parent-child outfit we bought! Haven't put it on Xiao Huai yet."

I sighed and quickly replied, "Sorry, I have something urgent to deal with. You stay with him first. I will try to go back as soon as possible."

Just after I sent the message, my phone vibrated again. This time it was him. I hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the phone.

"Hello?" I lowered my voice, trying not to be heard by others in the studio.

"Are you really busy today? Have you forgotten that today is our wedding anniversary?" Jiang Yichen's voice was filled with obvious dissatisfaction.

What? It's our wedding anniversary. I was so busy, no wonder I got a necklace this morning.

"I know, but I really can't leave the studio. There's a problem with the revenue forecast, and I have to solve it as soon as possible." I rubbed my temples, with a hint of fatigue in my tone.

"Then can you go home earlier today? I don't have my gift yet." His voice became louder, and he was obviously a little angry.

My heart tightened, knowing that he was right, but the current matter really couldn't be delayed. I took a deep breath and tried to make my tone sound calm: "I know I have neglected you a little recently, but this is really a special case. When I finish dealing with it, I will definitely make it up to you, okay?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then his low voice came: "It's up to you." After that, he hung up the phone.

I held my phone, feeling a little upset. The atmosphere in the studio was still tense, and everyone was busy working. No one noticed my change in mood. I forced myself to focus back on the computer screen, but I couldn't calm down.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, Bo Fuhui came over with a newly made budget: "Sister Mo, this is the new plan, take a look."

I took the document, looked through it carefully, and nodded: "Not bad, much better than before. We will discuss it in detail at the meeting tomorrow."

"Okay, Sister Mo." Bo Fuhui breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to his seat.

I looked at the time. It was already past nine in the evening. Xu Sisi and I were the only ones working overtime in the studio. She looked up at me and asked softly, "Sister Mo, do you want to go back first? I can handle the rest."

I shook my head: "No, I'll be there soon. You should go back early too, don't be too tired."

She nodded, packed up her things, and left the studio quietly.

I turned off the computer, picked up my bag, and walked out of the studio. The night wind was a little chilly, and I wrapped my coat tightly around me, but my heart was still heavy. Jiang Yichen's phone call just now made me feel a little uneasy. I knew he was angry, but the most important thing right now was to go home first.

I passed by a store and prepared to choose a gift for Jiang Yichen, but I really didn't know what to give him.

What to give? What to give? I was walking on the street, watching couples around me, and half an hour had passed.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

"I'm back, I'm back."

I responded quickly to the message.

When I got home, the lights in the living room were still on. I quietly opened the door and saw Jiang Yichen sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand, but he was obviously not reading. Xiao Huai had fallen asleep, lying quietly in his arms.

I walked over and whispered, "I'm back."

He raised his head, glanced at me, and said in a light tone: "Yeah."

I sat across from him and said carefully, "I'm sorry, it's my fault today. I shouldn't have put work before you."

He was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "I know you are busy with work, but Xiao Huai really misses you. He kept asking me today when mom would be back."

My heart ached and my eyes got hot. "I know I neglected you. I will try my best to balance work and family in the future. This gift..."

When he saw that I came back empty-handed, he didn't blame me, but immediately interrupted me: "It's okay, just stay with me for a while."

This guy, why is he becoming more and more clingy? Come to think of it, I haven’t been with Jiang Yichen for a long time.

He put down the book, reached out and held my hand, and said in a softer tone: "Actually, I don't blame you, I just hope you can spend more time with us. Xiao Huai is still young, she needs you."

I nodded, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you for always understanding me. I will change, really."

He smiled and reached out to ruffle my hair: "Okay, don't blame yourself. Go take a shower and rest early."

I looked up, looked into his gentle eyes, and finally felt relieved. I knew that no matter how much wind and rain there was outside, as long as he was there, I would have the courage to move forward.

"Okay." I smiled and answered, then got up to take a shower. I thought to myself: I must go home early tomorrow and have a good meal with Xiao Huai.
