After resting at home for a day, Ji Fuling was fine.

Because the branch office was newly established and there were many areas that needed improvement, everyone worked overtime on Sunday.

Ji Fuling also went to the company early and contacted Yang Qiyuan, the person in charge of Qiyuan, again, trying her best to negotiate the project.

However, after making several calls, the other party did not answer.

Seeing this, assistant Su Ling said indignantly, "President Ji, I've heard that Qiyuan is not only negotiating with ZK., but also with several other companies. I think Yang Qiyuan probably doesn't want to cooperate with us at all."

Ji Fuling gripped her phone tightly, a dark glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She knew all too well what wicked schemes Yang Qiyuan was plotting.

That night he kept hinting that she should take the initiative, but she pretended not to hear and just drank with him.

That bastard thinks she's being ungrateful, so he's started ignoring her.

Such malicious people are utterly disgusting.

If it weren't for the project, she would have shot him in the head!

Ji Fuling was just thinking about how to blow Yang Qiyuan's head off in various ways when the phone in her hand was suddenly answered.

The person who answered the phone was Yang Qiyuan's assistant.

Ji Fuling didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point, "Hello, I'd like to invite Mr. Yang to dinner to discuss the project further."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, our General Manager Yang is out of town and won't be back in Yuncheng for at least half a month. We can only discuss the project when he returns."

After saying that, without giving Ji Fuling a chance to speak again, the other party hung up the phone.

As Ji Fuling stared at the darkened phone screen, her expression turned cold.

Going to another city at this time of year, and staying for half a month at that, is clearly just an excuse, and a very lame one at that!

Seeing Ji Fuling's expression, Su Ling knew that things had not gone well, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. "President Ji, what do we do now?"

Ji Fuling pinched her brow with her slender fingers and said calmly, "It's alright, you can go out first, I'll think of something else."

Su Ling nodded, turned and left the office.

Watching the door close, Ji Fuling leaned back in her chair, her eyes slightly closed, pondering how to negotiate with Yang Qiyuan.

I had only been thinking for a short while when my phone, which was face down on the table, suddenly rang.

Ji Fuling picked it up and saw that it was another unfamiliar number.

She frowned, but still answered the call.

Hello? Who is this?

"It's me."

A deep, magnetic voice came from the phone.

Ji Fuling was slightly taken aback, "...Uncle?"

"Um."

Ye Nanqing responded.

After confirming that the person on the other end of the phone was Ye Nanqing, Ji Fuling originally wanted to ask him how he got her number.

But as the words were about to come out, she suddenly remembered that this man was the president of the Ye Group, which controlled most of the economic lifeline of Yuncheng.

For a nightclub owner like me, finding her phone number would be a piece of cake.

So she changed her question and asked, "Is there something you need?"

“We’re on the beach in the west of the city. Tian Tian said you’re at the company. Come downstairs now and I’ll have the driver pick you up.”

"Handsome uncle, look! I found a super pretty seashell..."

Ji Fuling was still processing Ye Nanqing's words when she heard her daughter's soft, sweet voice, filled with laughter.

Her expression changed slightly, and her voice unconsciously rose, "You took Tian Tian to the beach?!"

Ye Nanqing glanced at the three small figures not far away, and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "Not only Tian Tian, ​​but Zi Han and Zi Mo are also here."

Upon hearing this, Ji Fuling immediately blushed with anger, "How could you take them out without my permission?"

What happened back then left her with some psychological trauma.

Over the years, she hasn't even taken her three kids to a swimming pool, let alone to the beach.

The three kids can swim, taught by Huo Yunqi, in the private pool of the Huo family villa.

As a result, Ye Nanqing took it upon himself to take them to the beach!

Zihan and Zimo aren't the type to go out with just anyone; it must have been that little girl Ji Tiantian who egged their two brothers on!

"Come over here first, then we'll talk."

"you……"

"Beep beep beep—"

Before Ji Fuling could say anything more, Ye Nanqing had already hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone from her phone, Ji Fuling gritted her teeth.

When she arrived at the company building, she indeed saw a car waiting for her at the entrance.

She angrily opened the car door and got in...

This side of the beach.

Seeing Ye Nanqing put away his phone, Mu Xinghe, who was next to him, immediately asked gossipily, "Hey, Nanqing, is she coming or not?"

Ye Nanqing glanced at him and said in a detached tone, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't."

"Fine, fine, I won't ask."

Mu Xinghe grinned and raised an eyebrow as he leaned closer to Ye Nanqing. He then changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, don't you think those two little boys look a bit like you? No, not just a bit, but the more you look at them, the more they resemble you."

"Nan Qing, tell me the truth, are these three children your kids?"

Mu Xinghe didn't really think so; his words were purely joking.

After all, he had known Ye Nanqing for many years and had never seen Ye Nanqing get close to any woman.

He even once suspected that Ye Nanqing would live a lonely life and die alone.

How could someone so solitary really have three children?

Ye Nanqing slashed at him with a cold knife, "If you want to go to Congo to mine, just say so."

Mu Xinghe couldn't help but shudder, and coupled with these extremely threatening words, he instantly backed down.

"No, no, no, I was wrong. I won't say anything more. You wait here slowly. I'm going to play with the little girl for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xinghe slipped away as fast as he could.

Ye Nanqing turned his gaze to Ji Zihan and Ji Zimo, his eyes lingering on their identical little faces.

He also felt that the two children's eyebrows and eyes did resemble his.

If he has children in the future, they will probably look something like this.

Twenty minutes later.

Ji Fuling rushed to the beach.

She got out of the car and saw Ye Nanqing standing alone on the rocks by the sea in the distance.

Today, he changed his usual suit and tie, and wore a dark blue casual outfit, which showed a different kind of noble temperament.

It was a very pleasing scene, but Ji Fuling had no mood to appreciate it at all.

The sound of the crashing waves reminded her of the suffocating feeling she had experienced when she was submerged in seawater years ago, a feeling that was particularly oppressive.

As she approached, Ji Fuling looked up at the man standing on the rocks, frowned, and asked, "Where are Tian Tian, ​​Zi Han, and Zi Mo? Where are they?"

Ye Nanqing lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, "You come up first."

"I don't……"

As soon as Ji Fuling finished speaking, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.

By the time she realized what was happening, Ye Nanqing had already pulled her onto the rocks.

The reef wasn't very big, so the two of them were very close together.

Ji Fuling was somewhat angry and was about to ask Ye Nanqing what he wanted to do when Ye Nanqing pointed to the left and said, "Look over there."
