Chapter Forty-Five: The Closest Relationship

Qin Lan's words were spoken with restraint, her emotions held in check. Looking at the two pitiful children before her, she truly wanted to cry, to apologize to everyone. 。After Qin Jingwen left, Qiao Shunchen asked Sun Xu to handle Qin Jingwen's resignation. However, his worries still came true. 。This afternoon, Sun Xu came to report on his work. 。“Mr. Joe, MT won't let us through.” 。General Qin's matter is a bit troublesome. 。“ Sun Xu said distressedly, he had been communicating about this all morning, involving lawyers and threats. But MT wouldn't let go. He was helpless and could only come to report it.” 。"No trouble, this is an opportunity" 。Joe Shunchen's deep eyes deepened a few points, with a dangerous and bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes. 。Sun Xu immediately convened a meeting to discuss the acquisition of MT. 。Joe Shunchen's cold voice was filled with determination, and Sun Xu knew every time he saw Joe Shunchen like this that he would be making a big move. 。"Mr. Qiao, MT is now a large company with very good profitability. It wouldn't be an easy task to acquire them." 。Sun Xu gave his opinion. 。It is not easy to acquire at a high price, and all efforts will be made. 。Even after the acquisition of such a company, we will still be profitable. 。Joe Shun-Chen has never backed down from a challenge. The greater the difficulty, the more he wants to push forward. 。If MT hadn't forcefully kept Qin Jingwen, perhaps he wouldn't have taken action. 。As for Qin Jingwen, he will definitely win. As for MT, he won't show any mercy either. 。"Mr. Qiao, should you consider this again" Sun Xu wasn't optimistic and could only remind him like that. 。Don't think about it, just do as I say. 。" Qiao Shunchen said firmly, his eyes dark and unreadable. 。 Qin Jingwen officially started working the next day. Her position and office had changed. 。Previously, she was only responsible for guiding the application of mobile software. Now, any part of QiaoShi that involves software is her responsibility, making her the head of QiaoShi's software development department. 。Her office was originally on the 15th floor of Joe Tower in YB Mobile Company. Now her office is on the same floor as Joe Shunchen's CEO office. 。Qin Jingwen felt that such an arrangement was a bit ostentatious. Besides the CEO's office and secretary's office, there was also a super-large conference room on this floor. 。Besides that, no one else works here. 。Qin Jingwen looked at Noda's office, took a deep breath, and released the pressure that the office gave her. 。Qin Jingwen really appreciates the style of the office decoration, and she also loves the office supplies inside. 。The coffee table, bookcase, air conditioner, and various decorations are all high-end. 。The restrooms are also independent, almost as good as those in Joe Shun's place. 。It seems that even the CFO doesn't have such treatment, Qin Jingwen was utterly speechless. 。Qin Jingwen came to the CEO's office 。"Mr. Joe, my office..." "The company matches according to ability, there's no need to feel pressured..." 。As soon as Qin Jingwen spoke, Qiao Shunchen knew what he was going to say and directly refuted him. 。"But..." "There's no but..." 。Report if something happens, otherwise go back to work. 。Joe Shunchen said coldly, without ever looking up at Qin Jingwen. 。Qin Jingwen glanced helplessly at Qiao Shunchen. This man must have been a bandit who claimed the mountains as his territory in his previous life. He wouldn't give anyone a chance to speak, doing whatever he pleased. 。Qin Jingwen helplessly turned around and left. 。Since his business trip, Qiao Shunchen had never again made things difficult for Qin Jingwen in private matters. There were no sudden embraces, no domineering kisses, and certainly no rolling around in bed. 。It seems that Qiao Shunchen has given up on her. Although there is a strange sense of loss, Qin Jingwen still feels that life is easier without Qiao Shunchen's disturbance. 。After dinner, Qin Jingwen started tidying up the dishes and clearing away the mess. 。Standing in the open kitchen, you can see the living room clearly. 。 。

Qiao Zixuan's mood wasn't good today. Qin Jingwen noticed it during their meal and, fearing it would worsen his emotions, refrained from asking.

It seems she needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with XuenXuen. 。Qin Jingwen put down her work in the kitchen and came to sit beside Qiao Zixuan. 。"Xuan Xuan, you seem down today. Is something bothering you" 。"Auntie, I miss Daddy." 。Joe Hsu wasn't keeping anything hidden, and he was willing to share his thoughts with Qin Jingwen. 。Hearing Qiao Zixuan's words, Qin Jingwen suddenly started. How could she have overlooked this 。How could she have forgotten that Qiao Zixuan has always looked up to Qiao Shunchen and relied on him deeply 。"Do you want Mommy, Xuanxuan" Qin Jingwen continued to ask, if Xuanxuan wanted Song Yiren, then it proved that there was still some feeling between them. 。She can't let the children ignore these feelings all at once, after all, Song Yiren has participated in Qiao Zixuan's growth for over four years. 。 "Don't 。“

Joe Hsu answered decisively.

"Auntie, I don't want Mommy" 。I want to live with you forever, I don't want to live with Mommy. 。" Qiao Zixuan kept emphasizing, his face showing panic again. 。Okay, we don't want her to only think about Daddy. 。Qin Jingwen quickly hugged Qiao Zixuan in her arms and soothed him. 。"Xuanxuan, as long as you're willing to live with your aunt for the rest of your life..." 。This is your home, and Half Moon and I are your family. 。"Well, I grew up here with Half Moon." 。Joe Hsu's face broke into a slight smile. When he got his dad issue sorted out, the smile would be even brighter. 。Qin Jingwen gave the phone to Qiao Zixuan, letting him call himself. Otherwise, he would be blacklisted again for no reason. 。Twenty minutes after Qiao Zixuan finished his phone call, Qiao Shunchen arrived. This speed wasn't fast, nor was it slow. At this time of day on this stretch of road, there wasn't even traffic congestion. 。"Huanhuan said he misses you, will you keep him company for a while" 。“ Qin Jing said this in a lukewarm tone and returned to her bedroom. 。Two children said in unison, "Daddy, I miss you!" "Uncle, I miss you too!" 。“Okay, I will come visit you often.” 。"Half-Moon, how have you been getting along with your brother" Qiao Shunchen's question, although there was no coldness in his brows, his serious face made Half-Moon hesitate to approach. 。Okay, I like my brother 。It makes me happy to have a brother. 。“

A half-moon smile slowly curved upon her lips, as she spoke in a sweet voice 。Her smile was exactly the same as Qin Jingwen's, and Qiao Shunchen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw it. 。Although the smile wasn't easily noticeable, it still gave Ban Yue and Qiao Zi Xuan a lot of courage to receive him. 。"Daddy, we're playing a game, come play with us!" 。Finally, Qiao Zixuan smiled from the bottom of his heart. 。"Daddy doesn't know how to play, you teach me" 。"

"Great! Great!"

The child danced with joy and laughter, unrestrained. 。Qin Jingwen heard clearly in the bedroom. Such harmonious and loving laughter made her heart ache. 。The relationship between the three people in the living room was the closest in the world, yet they knew nothing about each other. 。This is perhaps the cruellest thing in the world. 。 Qiao Shunchen played with the child, although he was not patient, he also persisted for an unprecedented amount of time. 。"Xuanxuan, you guys play for half a month, I'll rest for a while" 。 Qiao Shunchen sat on one side. 。I didn't have much time to watch the child and, without noticing, got up and went to Qin Jingwen's room. 。Qin Jingwen was lying in bed reading when she heard the sound of the door opening and quickly sat up. 。Joe Shunchen didn't answer, he walked straight to Qin Jingwen's side, his black eyes like ink, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. 。 Qiao Shunchen stood by the bed, his eyes lowered as he gazed at Qin Jingwen. He looked at her startled, crystal-clear eyes, her oval face, and her long, ink-black hair that flowed like silk. Qiao Shunchen couldn't help but tighten his throat. 。It's been a week since they tossed and turned in bed. This whole week, Qiao Shunchen has been enduring it with patience, waiting for Qin Jingwen to take the initiative to approach him. 。But he didn't expect that the first to lose control would be him. Even when he was just playing with his child, his mind was filled with Qin Jingwen. 。Just like that, he watched her silently, watching the blush creep across her face, and his heart ached with an unbearable loneliness. 。“You…” Qin Jingwen was made uncomfortable by Qiao Shunchen’s gaze that seemed to want to devour her, she kept dodging his eyes but he kept catching them. 。caused her heart to race and her face to flush 。She felt she couldn't stay in bed any longer. If she didn't avoid his scorching gaze, she would become his prey. 。"If you have something to say, just go out and say it." 。Then Qin Jingwen got out of bed and walked past Qiao Shunchen. Her slender arm was unexpectedly grabbed by him. 。Qin Jingwen instinctively wanted to withdraw, but Qiao Shunchen grasped her hand even tighter. 。"CEO Qiao, I don't understand what you mean"Qin Jingwen's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. The warmth from Qiao Shunchen's palm made her tremble like an electric shock. 。喬舜辰 still didn't speak, because for the first time he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. 。He also asked himself again, why did he have to grab Qin Jingwen, why did he have to stare at her relentlessly, why did she come to his room "I didn't eat dinner..." 。"

Yes, I must be hungry.

Joe Shunchen's one sentence not only gave himself a good excuse, but also let Qin Jingwen breathe a sigh of relief. 。Let go, I'll get you something to eat. 。"Qin Jingwen reminded Qiao Shunchen that she would rather go to the kitchen to cook than spend time alone with him in this confined space. The air in this bedroom felt thin with his presence, making it hard for Qin Jingwen to breathe. " 。Joe Shunchen let go of his hand, suddenly feeling empty. 。However, he desperately controlled the urge to embrace her. 。In Qiao Shunchen's eyes, this woman was bewitched. Seeing her made his emotions spiral out of control, and not seeing her left him feeling like something was missing. 。This feeling made him feel disgusted and helpless. 。Joe Shunchen ate a lot for dinner and enjoyed it very much. 。Laying on the sofa, stretching himself out, Qiao Zixuan walked over and pressed his little head against Qiao Shunchen's chest, a bit stiff and a little timid. 。This was Joe Hsueh-Hsien's first time ever being this close to his father, though he was a little afraid his father might get angry, he still mustered his courage and spoke up. 。"Daddy, can you sleep here tonight"Joe Shunchen was stunned. This was the first time he felt his child's dependence on him. It was warm and happy, and very fulfilling. 。Jo Shunchen didn't answer, but this scene was seen by Ban Yue with envious eyes. 。"Mommy, I want a daddy too. I want to lie on Daddy's chest like Xu Xuan gege." 。“

Ban Yue's envious voice was heard by everyone, and Qiao Zi Xuan even showed off, turning his face to look at Ban Yue and making a funny face.

Half a month's words stabbed Qin Jingwen's heart, someone was there again and couldn't show it, could only comfort the child 。"Just like Mommy, Mommy can also hold you" 。“ Qin Jingwen spoke softly. 。A different kind of mommy, daddy's chest is broad and thick, lying on it must be very comfortable 。Mommy's chest is heaving and she can't lie down. 。" Half Moon blurted that out, and suddenly an awkward atmosphere engulfed Qin Jingwen. 。was a desecration of his character, a negation of all his hard work over the years. 。He comforted me in return, telling me not to worry. 。I also comforted what. 。"Don't worry, Wenwen. Chi Ju's abili...
