Chapter 54: Chapter 54: He is so promising, hehe.

Because he had just taken over the company and there were many complex internal issues to deal with, Yu Minglang had to be reachable by phone at all times, even when he was on vacation or asleep.

“I am Yu Minglang, hmm, got it.”

Some issues occurred in the company, which needed his attention. The idea of a domineering CEO effortlessly managing everything from afar is a lie. In reality, managing a company is a hassle, especially when it’s a newly-taken-over company.

Xiao Qian observed the change in him after he took the call, as if he became a completely different person. Gone was the foolish young man, replaced by a serious expression, making her overlay the image of him from her previous life.

It seemed like this in the past too. In reality, he was very decisive and shrewd, only showing a touch of humanity when he was with her.

Back then, Xiao Qian was still young and didn’t take his special treatment of her to heart.

At that time, she hadn’t learned to appreciate the sense of responsibility in a mature man.

Just like any young woman in love, she would wonder if Yu Minglang had true feelings for her, and whether his work was more important to him than she was.

However, now she could understand why he had to leave, seeing his overly serious face.

Even so, she felt that his particularly serious and responsible face was attractive, as a responsible man is forever the most handsome in a woman’s eyes.

A woman’s taste in men changes from when she’s 20 to when she’s 30.

As she grew older and understood responsibility and duty, she finally realized how attractive and manly men with these qualities can be.

This was probably the busiest and most tiring time for him, but no matter how busy or tired, he would find time to see her.

“I have to head back to the office. We’ll talk next time we meet.”

Yu Minglang opened the car door, and Xiao Qian stayed still in the co-pilot seat, not speaking, her eyes fixed on him.

As if to say, are you sure I’ll see you next time?

Seeing her not moving, Yu Minglang, as if he remembered something, grabbed the red flowers from the back seat and shoved them into Xiao Qian’s arms.

“Everything will be talked about when I come back. You have to be obedient!”

To hell with your advice! In this state of mind, Xiao Qian was chased out of the car by him.

Then, Yu Minglang’s car sped off, leaving Xiao Qian behind with a trail of exhaust fumes, a torn sleeve, and a bunch of red flowers in her arms…

Carnations?!

Xiao Qian silently looked at the flowers in her arms.

He really had guts, giving a girl carnations?

Based on his absurd behavior tonight, Xiao Qian should throw these flowers – which symbolize motherly love – on the ground and stomp on them a few times.

Red carnation’s flower language is unconditional motherly love, huh…

Who is your mother!

With a surge of nameless anger, Xiao Qian arrived at the entrance of her home and saw the locked door. She was speechless.

How should she climb back with a bouquet of flowers symbolizing motherly love in her hands?

“Yu Minglang clearly said that it’s easy to climb this high wall. So exhausting…” With one hand holding the bouquet of flowers and the other grappling with the yard gate, Xiao Qian cursed Yu Minglang a thousand times in her heart.

Despite her disgust, she held the “motherly love” flowers tightly in her hand and refused to throw them away.

Yu Minglang painstakingly arranged the meeting through secret codes and nights, but besides leaving Xiao Qian with a bellyful of anger, there was nothing left to show for it.

It was as if he vanished from the earth.

For a whole week, Xiao Qian did not see him.

That bunch of “motherly love” flowers was thrown and picked up by Xiao Qian several times but still survived in a cola bottle in her bedroom, with the water being changed a few times, before it finally wilted.

By the time the flowers were gone, he still hadn’t appeared.

At first, she felt resentful towards his hit-and-run behavior, but as he became quiet, she began to worry about his safety.

He never brought work matters home. In their past life, he would never tell her about such things, even when they were really close, always keeping his lips sealed about it.

Now, as they hadn’t even started their relationship, it was even less likely for him to speak.

But Xiao Qian knew that he must be going through a hard time now…

With such a huge family business handed to him, it was inevitable that some shareholders would cause trouble behind his back, even resorting to disgraceful means. People wouldn’t easily submit to such a young leader, so who knew what methods they would use against him.

In his previous life, Yu Minglang had always been smooth sailing, so he should be fine this time… right?

However, when she called, it would never go through, and her heart remained suspended in worry.

These days, Xiao Qian had been secretly looking for Trash Dad’s whereabouts, but her efforts had been limited, and she had not found him yet.

However, Xiao Qian was not in a hurry; Trash Dad would appear sooner or later, and it didn’t matter when. The later Chen Lin returned, the more Jia Xiufang would believe what Xiao Qian said.

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed, and it was time for Jia Xiufang to hold the college entrance celebration for Xiao Qian.

The celebration was held in a relatively large hotel in Qiang City, which Xiao Qian had chosen. Jia Xiufang couldn’t decide, but Xiao Qian made the choice for her.

On Xiao Qian’s repeated reminders, Jia Xiufang’s attitude towards Chen Lin had also changed.

During this time, Xiao Qian played a significant role.

She spent a lot of time every day talking to her mother, constantly instilling the idea that she was a needed mother and not a worthless person.

“Mom, which one looks nicer?” Xiao Qian picked up two outfits.

“This one, it makes my girl look elegant.” Jia Xiufang pointed out.

“Mom, you have a great choice.” Xiao Qian would say this kind of thing many times a day.

You’re doing well, you’re in the right, you’re a mother needed by your child; repeatedly reinforcing these ideas was her crucial method to ensure her mother wouldn’t fall into a mental breakdown.

Sure enough, a big smile appeared on Jia Xiufang’s face.

“You’re already so grown up, but you still depend on your mother for everything.”

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to grow up. Mom, half the credit for my Admission Notice goes to you. Really, if you didn’t cook for me every day, how could I focus on my studies? My mom is the best.”

“You’re such a sweet talker lately, really.” Jia Xiufang wiped away her tears and playfully slapped Xiao Qian’s back.

“Otherwise, do you think 1 want to be this cheesy? My persona is broken.

Where’s the cool female boss I once was? Now I’m just the female version of a chicken soup peddler, Yu Minglang!”

Xiao Qian muttered under her breath, too quiet for Jia Xiufang to hear.

“Qian’er, what did you say?”

“I said, my mom is the best…” Sobbing, this chicken soup was getting to her, causing goosebumps! Hurry up and find Chen Lin, so they could get divorced once he’s found. This poor act of pouring chicken soup wasn’t her style.

Xiao Qian drew a circle on the calendar, seven days ago. Yu Minglang, my celebration has started, and you’ve been gone for seven days. Are you safe?

With a scoff, she shook her head. Her persona had long since crumbled. Longing was clearly not an emotion that a villainous female boss should possess..
