Chapter 435 - 428: Bygone Days
Chen Bei noticed the strange look on Wu Chengzu’s face and was slightly surprised. His boss was used to hiding his emotions, and calling him a smiling tiger was most fitting. He might be smiling at you on the surface, but he could turn around and deliver a fatal blow.
It seemed that Bai Yiran already held a significant place in the boss’s heart.
Chen Bei could vaguely sense that Bai Yiran might become the key to the boss’s future success or failure.
She could be either his rise or his downfall.
Indeed, women are naturally troublemakers, especially beautiful women. Even someone like the boss, who has always been aloof and indifferent, has been touched. Chen Bei couldn’t help but wonder what kind of charm this Bai Yiran had to captivate two powerful men?
In Chen Bei’s eyes, she was just a pretty face with a silver tongue.
In the evening, Li Sha brought Grandma and Uncle over to the house. Seeing so many people, Xiao Lang was very happy and played gleefully with Cheng Shishi.
Everyone was very happy to hear the news of Bai Yiran’s pregnancy again. After all, there had been rampant gossip about Bai Yiran adopting a child due to an inability to conceive. Although Grandma and Uncle hadn’t said much, they were worried. They knew better than anyone how tough it was for Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen to come together, and if it weren’t for the fact that the two were truly in love, they would not have agreed to their remarriage.
But now that they were remarried, the issue of children was unavoidable.
But now things were better. Bai Yiran was pregnant, and those unfavorable rumors about her should naturally disappear.
Looking at Bai Yiran, who had already lost a noticeable amount of weight in just a few days, Grandma felt extremely sorry for her. She held her hand tightly, continuously advising her on things pregnant women should be careful about.
Although Bai Yiran already knew most of these things, she didn’t want to dampen Grandma’s enthusiasm, so she continued listening with a smile.
On the other side, Uncle and Leng Yichen were discussing business matters. Although Uncle was the elder, when it came to business and trade, he was not in the same league as Leng Yichen. So whenever he had such an opportunity, he would drop his elder status and humbly seek advice from Leng Yichen.
Aunt was watching the two kids, one being Xiao Lang and, of course, the forever childlike Cheng Shishi...
Bai Yiran looked at the joyful and harmonious atmosphere of her family with immense contentment. She didn’t want much; as long as her loved ones were happy, that was enough for her.
Suddenly, Cheng Shishi ran to the center, looking solemnly at Bai Yiran and Leng Yichen, "Sis, brother-in-law, I have a favor to ask you."
Bai Yiran adored her cousin, "What is it? Just say it."
Cheng Shishi grinned, unable to hide her excitement, "Sis, I remember you started taking tutoring jobs in college to save up money to work abroad, is that right?"
At the mention of that time, Bai Yiran was stunned, as if it were ages ago. Back then, she was indeed desperately tutoring to save money so she could go abroad with her first love, Luo Chen.
Bai Yiran rarely talked about those days. She turned to look at Leng Yichen, and sure enough, he was starting to frown.
This Cheng Shishi, speaking without thinking.
"What do you want to say?" Bai Yiran asked.
Cheng Shishi completely oblivious to her brother-in-law’s change in expression, continued, "So, I want to learn from you. I also want to earn and spend my own money, to become independent sooner."
"And then?"
"Then, I also found a tutoring job. The student is a rebellious thirteen-year-old girl, but the pay is quite good."
"Get to the point!"
"The point is," Cheng Shishi looked at Bai Yiran, clasping her hands in plea, "Can I stay at your house on weekends? It would be more convenient for me to go teach."
