If you start dating again after Chapter 36, tell me.
Gao Ze smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that we simply can't reach an agreement."
What do you mean by "can't reach an agreement"?
"I had met two girls before, and we clicked. I was planning to give it a try, but they both complained that I was too busy and didn't have time to spend with them, so nothing came of it."
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu's expression froze slightly. After a long silence, he said with a hint of apology, "It's been hard for you to stay by my side."
Because of his work, he not only lost his wife, but also caused his assistant to be unable to find a wife.
Gao Ze was taken aback, then looked at his boss with a sense of flattery and hurriedly said, "President Jin, it is my honor to learn and work by your side. It is not hard work at all."
Jin Changyu: "But I'll make it impossible for you to have a relationship."
Gao Ze immediately declared, "I am at the age where I should be building my career before starting a family."
"Didn't you always teach me that a man should prioritize his career and strive to make a name for himself in the prime of his life?"
The age for hard work and striving.
Prioritize career.
Jin Changyu listened to these words that he usually used to motivate his subordinates and suddenly found them somewhat laughable.
It's right to focus on building a career.
But is it really right to sacrifice family as the foundation?
In the past two years, he has worked tirelessly to bring the Jin Group to new heights, with its market value increasing several times over.
He is praised by outsiders for his outstanding abilities and is the rightful and even more successful successor to the Jin family.
But these dazzling achievements seemed so dim and insignificant the moment Sang Qian filed for divorce.
She said he only had work on his mind all day long.
He's never home.
She tolerated him for two years, but finally couldn't live with him anymore.
Even after becoming pregnant with his child, she refused to compromise any longer and insisted on divorcing him.
Everyone says he has achieved great success at a young age, but the funny thing is that he can't even protect his own family.
He not only failed to cherish his family, but he also led his soldiers astray.
"It's good for men to focus on their careers, but they shouldn't neglect their families."
It's unclear whether Jin Changyu was saying this to Gao Ze or to himself.
"Tell me if you date again in the future."
Gao Ze looked completely bewildered. "Huh?"
Jin Changyu: "I will appropriately reduce your workload."
Gao Ze looked at Jin Changyu, who was acting unusually, with disbelief. "...Okay, thank you, President Jin."
Oh my god.
Is this still his boss who always puts "work first"?
*
Jin Changyu returned to the city around 4 p.m. that day and then met with Bude, who had come to visit the company.
Despite a busy day, he still managed to get home by 6 p.m.
"The master is back."
Aunt Li came over and took his briefcase. Jin Changyu thanked her and walked inside, only to find that there was no one in the living room or dining room.
"And her?"
Aunt Li said, "Oh, Miss Sang said she was going to buy Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for her second uncle from her maternal family. Miss Su came to pick her up this afternoon, but Miss Sang said she would come back for dinner."
"Um."
Jin Changyu nodded and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
"Then let's wait for her to come back before we start eating."
"OK."
Aunt Li turned around and made him a cup of hot tea, placed it on the table, and then went back to the kitchen.
Jin Changyu replied to a few work messages on his phone. When he put down his phone and reached for his teacup, he caught a glimpse of two picture books on the table.
He picked it up, opened it, and saw that it was a catalog of trendy and fashionable clothing combinations for young people.
Men's?
How could she read such a book?
Jin Changyu flipped through two more pages and suddenly felt that the style of the clothes looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that Yan Guizhi, who was standing next to her when he picked her up that day, was wearing the same style of clothing.
Jin Changyu's fingers tightened slightly as he held the picture book.
She disliked him for being old-fashioned and boring.
Does she like this style?
Jin Changyu's gaze fell on the picture book, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he began to carefully flip through it.

Sang Qian arrived home at nearly seven o'clock.
Seeing her carrying large and small bags into the door, Aunt Li quickly went over to take them from her.
"Thank you, Aunt Li. Just put it in the living room for me."
As Sang Qian spoke, she noticed the man on the living room sofa.
"Is it okay to put it here?"
Aunt Li put the things on the single sofa.
Sang Qian nodded, "Okay."
Jin Changyu looked at the shopping bags. "Are these all Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for my second uncle?"
Sang Qian sat on the sofa opposite, rubbing her slightly sore calves. "Not all of them are for Chen Ma."
Jin Changyu watched her massage her legs and said, "What else do you need to prepare? Tell me, and I'll have someone prepare it. You don't need to buy it yourself."
Sang Qian looked up at him and said, "No need, I can handle my own affairs."
Besides, she had bought everything she wanted.
"Sang Qian."
Jin Changyu looked at her seriously and said, "You're carrying my child, so even if we get divorced, you can still order me around to do anything you want."
"You don't need to feel any pressure."
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian paused slightly in her movements.
She doesn't have any psychological burden.
Rather, she didn't want to have any unnecessary entanglement with him, and it was even less likely that she would depend on him.
She stared intently at the man opposite her, saying, "I should be the one saying that to you."
Jin Changyu's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "What?"
"Although you are the child's biological father, you don't need to feel guilty or responsible for the baby, because the baby will be with me in the future."
Sang Qian said, "Since I've decided to have it, I will take full responsibility, and I'm capable of taking good care of it."
"You don't need to worry."
"Whether it's in my belly or in my future life, I will do everything in my power to protect and nurture it."
Looking into her calm yet resolute gaze, Jin Changyu felt a pang of heartache.
She misunderstood.
He wanted to take care of the child, but actually, he wanted to take care of her even more.
"Shallowly..."
"Sir, Miss Sang, the food is ready. You may now begin your meal."
Jin Changyu had just opened his mouth softly when Aunt Li's voice drowned him out.
Sang Qian turned to look at the restaurant, then looked at Jin Changyu in surprise, "You haven't eaten yet either?"
It's already seven o'clock. Is he waiting for her to come back so they can eat together?
Jin Changyu composed himself, his expression returning to normal. He glanced at Aunt Li entering the kitchen before saying, "I just got back too."
Sang Qian, unsuspecting, replied, "Oh, I see."
The two sat down at the table to eat together.
Sang Qian thought the previous topic was over, but the man asked her again, "Are you going back to your hometown to give your second uncle a gift this year?"
For the past two years, she personally delivered the gifts back to her hometown during every holiday.
“The journey is long and bumpy, and you are still in the early stages of pregnancy, so it is not convenient for you. If you want to go back, I must accompany you.”
Upon hearing this, Sang Qian put down her chopsticks and was about to speak when the person opposite her said firmly, "I agree with what you just said, and I know you love the baby very much, but as a father, I also have the right to love him, take care of him, and protect him."
"This is not only my obligation, but also my right."
Sang Qian, "..."
here we go again.
Every time, I would emphasize to her my rights as a father.
It's as if if she doesn't agree, she's being domineering and forcibly taking the baby.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't plan to go back in person this year," Sang Qian said. "I'll have Lao Chen make the trip for me."
The journey was indeed bumpy, and she was worried that her body wouldn't be able to handle the long and arduous trip.
