Mu Xiaocheng looked into his dark, captivating eyes, which shimmered with light, like countless whirlpools waiting for their prey.
She suddenly felt a little scared.
Is Ji Huaishen setting a trap for her here?
Mr. Ji seemed to see through her concerns. He put one hand in his pocket and stood tall and handsome in front of her.
"Don't worry, it's a very simple matter. I won't ask you to do anything petty or against your conscience."
He spoke lazily, his voice as deep and pleasant as ever.
"Then you say it." Mu Xiaocheng suddenly felt more confident. As long as she didn't do anything against her conscience, she could still consider it.
Ji Huaishen stared intently into her eyes, his thin lips parted slightly, and he said slowly, word by word, "From now on, no matter what happens, the first person you think of must be me."
Mu Xiaocheng was stunned.
He had said this to her before.
Her answer was "I'll try my best."
He actually used this as a condition? Isn't Boss Ji someone who never does business at a loss?
She believes that he is the one who should suffer under these conditions!
He's the first person you think of?
Mu Xiaocheng lowered her head, a look of confusion appearing on her fair face.
"I……"
"Don't say 'try your best'." Ji Huaishen interrupted her domineeringly, his tone firm, even carrying a hint of coldness.
The domineering CEO's true nature is on full display.
Mu Xiaocheng moved her lips, damn it, what should she say?
Just as she was struggling to come up with her answer, her stomach started growling again, much to her dismay.
Is this forcing her to agree?
Okay, I'll agree. Anyway, she won't lose anything by agreeing.
"I...I promise you."
After saying that, she raised her voice and said, "But you also have to keep your word and cook for me!"
She enunciated the last four words clearly and forcefully.
Ji Huaishen smiled, placed his large, well-defined hand on her head, and gently rubbed it: "Good girl."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
good?
My foot!
It feels like raising a pet!
She was forced by reality to have a baby, but her belly wouldn't cooperate.

That night.
Yuan Xi walked home alone.
Her face was streaked with tears, and her eyes were swollen from crying.
She knew that there was no longer any possibility between her and Song Guiran.
In fact, it was impossible for them from the very beginning.
She stubbornly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, tilted her head back, and turned into a small alley.
Unconsciously, he quickened his pace.
She needed to rush back to cook dinner for her bedridden mother.
Her family lived in a remote area, and in the worst kind of dormitory for migrant workers.
As Yuan Xi turned into the alley, she saw two people standing at the entrance, seemingly waiting for her.
A woman, a man.
The woman was very beautiful, dressed elegantly, and wore heavy makeup.
That man must be the bodyguard she hired.
When Zhou Ningshuang saw Yuan Xi, she stubbed out her cigarette, crossed her arms, and moved closer to her.
When Yuan Xi saw her, she bit her lower lip and then lowered her head.
“I did as you said. But…”
"Good girl, I know everything." Zhou Ningshuang interrupted her, her hand with red nail polish touching her cheek.
"Tsk~ Are you sad?"
Yuan Xi shook her head: "I'm sorry, things weren't handled well. I will return the money you gave me in full."
"Silly child, isn't your mother seriously ill? Keep the money. Consider it a reward for your hard work tonight; you did your best."
The woman's words, carried by the cool breeze, reached Yuan Xi's ears. She paused, then bowed deeply to Zhou Ningshuang: "Thank you."
Zhou Ningshuang smiled.
Children from poor families are, in fact, the most innocent.
