Jiang Mian tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I think you can take a nap at the old house."
It wasn't even evening yet, and dreams were already starting.
A trace of a smile crossed Fu Sichen's face, and he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, feeling somewhat pleased.
The only people they encountered at the Lin Family's old house, besides the butler and Aunt, were nowhere to be seen.
Jiang Mian nestled directly onto the sofa, her gaze glancing at the man outside on the phone.
His clear, slender fingers were holding the phone, with a clean and sharp haircut; his straight back seemed to carry a glow under the sunlight, and Jiang Mian unconsciously propped up her chin and scrutinized him carefully.
To be honest, marrying Fu Sichen for his looks had been a very correct decision to this day.
After all, aside from his occasional disappearances, this man was quite alright in other aspects.
"Is he very handsome?"
Jiang Mian nodded up and down, her lips curling up without once dropping.
"Do you not want him to return to the military?"
Jiang Mian paused for two seconds, "A little, but it's okay."
"Just have a kid early."
Huh??
Jiang Mian turned her head, and Ms. Jiang's face was only 3 centimeters away; they nearly bumped into each other.
"Mom, what are you sneaking around for?"
Jiang Yutian straightened her back, "What? Do I have to sneak around in my own home?"
"Of course not."
Nothing is more important than mom.
Jiang Yutian glanced at her son-in-law, who was on the phone outside, then turned to her daughter, "How long is Xiao Chen staying this time?"
A mother-in-law's satisfaction with her son-in-law grew with each look.
It was just a pity that she rarely saw him.
Jiang Mian shook her head, grabbing a grape from the table and popping it into her mouth, "I have no idea; he comes and goes without a trace."
Jiang Yutian lightly patted Jiang Mian's hand, "Really, it's all because we spoiled you. Sit properly, girl. Since everyone's here today, your father said he has something to talk to you about."
As those words fell, Fu Sichen had just ended his phone call and came in along with Lin Chen.
"Brother."
Lin Chen, in a suit, probably just came back from the company. He looked at his sister, who was nestled on the sofa, and said with a smile, "I've been pleasantly surprised by the trending searches these past few days."
Always making fun of her.
Jiang Mian sat up and bowed to Lin Chen, "Then I'm also thankful to my brother for helping me get off the trending searches. The toughest backer on the net, thank you for your hard work."
After Jiang Mian entered the entertainment circle, her brother often had to clean up after her.
"An Era of Competing Brothers"
I have a good brother.
"Everyone's here, let's call Aunt Zhang to start dinner."
Lin Shengqiang came down from upstairs, still holding a pair of reading glasses.
The family began to take their seats, and Lin Shengqiang turned the conversation to his cherished daughter who was eating happily, "Xuanxuan, your mom and I discussed it, and we think you should come back to be a full-time daughter."
"Or go to the company. You have a double degree from college, and there are plenty of positions for you to choose from."
A trap.
The thought of it made the food in Jiang Mian's mouth tasteless, and she pursed her lips as she looked at Lin Shengqiang, "Dad, can't you let me enjoy a meal in peace? It's been a long time since I tasted food from home."
"That's why I'm saying, be a full-time daughter, come back any time, play wherever you want, and if you have time, you can look for Xiao Chen, how nice."
Jiang Mian hadn't expected her father to follow through so smoothly.
Truly shooting oneself in the foot.
On the verge of tears.
Lin Chen chimed in, "Right, it's nice. It's not as though I have to clean up your mess every day. My money-making hands are getting worn out wiping your butt."
Jiang Mian glared at Lin Chen, who actually wasn't helping her.
Indeed, people change.
A lifeline suddenly flashed through her mind, "Since everyone is here today, I also have something to announce."
