10:00 AM.

Norman's second round of bidding began, again in meeting room number 1 on the third floor of the hotel.

Ye Nanqing is already on the plane returning to Yuncheng.

After Ji Fuling and Su Ling met up, they presented their respective companies' more detailed plans to Qi Feng's representative.

After both companies finished their presentations, Norman's staff discussed the matter and decided on the winning company, which was then announced by Hua Zheng.

"After discussion, we all agreed that ZK.'s proposal was more suitable for our Norman fashion show, so we decided to cooperate with ZK.."

Su Ling was thrilled upon hearing the results and gripped Ji Fuling's hand tightly. "President Ji, did you hear that? We won the bid!"

Compared to her, Ji Fuling seemed much calmer, and said with a bit of a laugh, "I'm not deaf, of course I heard it."

"Mr. Ji, is it Mr. Ye...?"

Su Ling didn't say what she was going to say next, but instead gave a series of meaningful winks and gestures.

The implication was simply that they wanted to know if Ye Nanqing had helped them win the bid.

Ji Fuling's face darkened, and she glared at her warningly, "What nonsense are you talking about? We rely on our abilities. If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll deduct your bonus."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling was so frightened that she quickly apologized, "No, no, no! I was wrong, I was just joking. Mr. Ji, you're the best, please don't dock my pay!"

As the two were talking, Hua Zheng walked over with a polite smile on her face. "President Ji, I wish us a pleasant cooperation. I will have someone draft the contract as soon as possible, and it can be signed tonight at the latest."

Ji Fuling smiled politely and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate. We at ZK. will do our best to make this fashion show the best it can be and make your company satisfied."

After a few polite exchanges, Hua Zheng changed the subject, "President Ji, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is your relationship with our Nightclub?"

Last night, Ye Nanqing not only put his arm around her waist in full view of everyone, but also carried her away.

Anyone who saw it would know that her relationship with Ye Nanqing was not simple.

Ji Fuling felt there was no need to hide it anymore, and after considering it carefully, she replied, "He... is my fiancé, I suppose."

She could tell that Hua Zheng also had feelings for Ye Nanqing.

That's why she doesn't mention her boyfriend, because her fiancé carries more weight than her boyfriend.

"fiancé……"

Hua Zheng murmured something softly, momentarily lost in thought.

No wonder the president of the Ye family, who had never been involved in Norman's business, suddenly came to Yicheng to pay attention to the bidding for this clothing exhibition.

It turns out he came after his fiancée.

She even had the delusion that she could win Ye Nanqing's favor.

Little did they know that this radiant man already had a beloved woman...

Seeing Hua Zheng standing there in a daze, seemingly lost in thought, Ji Fuling said calmly, "Director Hua, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

Hua Zheng finally came to her senses, forced a stiff smile, and said with a wry grin, "Okay, I'll let you know when it's time to sign the contract."

Ji Fuling nodded, then left with Su Ling.

That evening, Zk. and Norman officially signed the contract, successfully reaching a cooperation agreement.

The next morning, Ji Fuling boarded a flight back to Yuncheng.

On the plane, Su Ling started gossiping again.

She grinned at Ji Fuling, who was sitting next to her, and said, "President Ji, since we're just killing time anyway, how about we have a chat?"

Ji Fuling knew her character and looked wary. "What do you want to talk about?"

Su Ling raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile, "That night you and Director Ye...did you...do that?"

Ji Fuling: "..."

"I think I'm getting airsick, so I can't chat with you. Find something to do, I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when we get there."

After saying that, she leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and began to rest.

Su Ling's burning passion for gossip had to be forcibly extinguished.

She was feeling suffocated the whole way...

Five hours later, the plane arrived in Yuncheng and landed safely.

Ji Fuling and Su Ling pulled their suitcases and walked side by side toward the exit.

From a distance, Su Ling spotted something and exclaimed excitedly, "President Ji, look over there! President Ye is here to pick you up from the airport! And your three adorable babies are here too!"

"Wow, Mr. Ye really looks like the babies' daddy!"

"The combination of an adorable child and a domineering, super-dad-like father is just too pleasing to the eye!"

Following the direction Su Ling pointed, Ji Fuling indeed saw Ye Nanqing and the three children.

The tall, slender man was wearing a dark gray suit today, exuding an innate air of nobility.

He was holding a soft, adorable little girl in one arm, with two identical, cool and handsome little boys standing next to him.

As Su Ling said, this scene was truly pleasing to the eye, attracting frequent glances from passersby.

"Mr. Ji, I'll be going now, bye-bye!"

Su Ling was very perceptive; after greeting everyone with a smile, she dragged her luggage and made her escape.

Although she loves gossip, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to join in on the family's happy time together.

A smile flickered in Ji Fuling's eyes as she pulled her luggage toward the three children and Ye Nanqing.

Upon seeing this, Chen Heng, who was waiting to the side, immediately ran forward and respectfully took the suitcase from her hands. "Madam, you must be tired from your long journey. I'll take your luggage."

"..."

Ji Fuling originally wanted to say that it was too early to call her "Madam," but then she thought that it would probably be useless to say it.

Just like how Gu Liao always called her "sister-in-law," she couldn't get it back even after several attempts to correct him.

"Mommy!"

Ji Tiantian came running over with her short legs, hugged Ji Fuling's leg, and said in her childish voice, "Mommy, Tiantian missed you so much~"

Ji Fuling bent down and hugged the little girl, kissing her soft, fair face. "Mommy missed you too."

Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo also came over.

The two adorable little ones exclaimed in unison, "Mommy, welcome home!"

Ji Fuling smiled, reached out and hugged the two of them, kissing each of their handsome faces. "Thank you, my darlings, Mommy loves you."

After cuddling for a while, Ji Ziming turned and glanced at a man a few steps away, frowning as he asked, "Mommy, why is that big liar here too?"

They came to pick up their mother from the airport, but when they arrived, they found that this man was also there, and their mood immediately soured.

Ji Zihan's little face suddenly turned serious, and his childish voice was full of earnestness, "Mommy, you can't forgive him just because he's being nice to you. He's a liar. If he lies once, he'll lie twice. We don't want you to be deceived again."

"..."

Ji Fuling pursed her lips, unsure how to respond.

The two little ones were already wary and distrustful of Ye Nanqing, and after learning from Huo Fanxi that Ye Nanqing's claim of being unable to move his legs was a lie, their resentment towards him only intensified...
