Nine p.m.

After coming out of Mocha Cat Cafe, Haohao seemed a little sleepy. He held Jiang Yuping’s hand and kept dozing off with his head down.

Seeing this, Ke Chen said very considerately.

“Send Haohao home first.”

“it is good.”

As a mother, she must feel sorry for her son. Besides, Ke Chen was so gentle, which made Jiang Yuping feel warm inside.

“Mr. Ke, what are your plans next? After I send Haohao home, I can continue to drive you.”

“Aren’t you at home to take care of Haohao?”

Ke Chen raised his eyebrows, while Jiang Yuping touched Haohao’s head and smiled gently.

“Haohao is already in elementary school and can sleep well at night. I can’t, as his mother, keep watching over him and spoiling him, can I?”

“Correct!”

When Haohao heard people talking about him again, he opened his eyes slightly, mustered up his energy and patted his chest.

“I’m a little man! All the teachers at school praise me!”

“Haohao is indeed more sensible than other children of the same age.”

Ke Chen also agreed with the sentence and then said calmly.

“I have to go to Suwen Bookstore later and buy all these properties tonight.”

“Okay, Mr. Ke.”

Jiang Yuping nodded, then asked tentatively.

“May I ask, Mr. Ke, why did you acquire these seemingly small businesses? For example, cat cafes or bookstores?”

“Because I wanted to, I did it.”

think?
Jiang Yuping was stunned by Ke Chen’s answer, and then she seemed to be thinking about something.

Yes!

Hasn’t Mr. Ke always been so willful?
No matter what they do, others seem to have to think twice, but Mr. Ke just does it without any worries.

Is this really the confidence that comes with having money?

Jiang Yuping smiled knowingly and decided not to ask such meaningless questions anymore.

Mr. Ke must have his reasons for what he did. As his lover, I just need to help him deal with the aftermath.

Remember not to give suggestions or make comments, otherwise you will annoy others.

“Let’s go.”

“Ah.”

Then Jiang Yuping drove the three of them back to Jiangbin Yuhujing.

It was already half past nine in the evening.

“Send me home first and pick me up later.”

“Okay, Mr. Ke.”

After watching Jiang Yuping and her car leave, Ke Chen did not rush upstairs, but went to the underground garage and saw the pure red Ferrari SF90 from his parking space.

However, what surprised him was that his car had been left undriven for so many days, but not only was there no dust on the outside, it even looked like a new car that had just been washed, and there was almost no dirty spot on the entire car.

Could it be that during the time I was in Qindao, Jiang Yuping even helped me clean the car?
But I didn’t ask her to do this!

Even I forgot about these two Ferrari SF90s.

After a brief surprise, Ke Chen was full of admiration for Jiang Yuping.

It turned out that it was the right decision to choose this beautiful young woman as my lover.

Apart from her graceful and beautiful body, she is valuable in other aspects.

At least she knows better than Yingying and the others how to serve the financial sponsor, and use her own experience to deal with life problems and help me deal with daily trivial matters.

Not bad!

It seems that my future life can be left to her as a housekeeper.

Buzz—!
Ke Chen took out the key, started the Ferrari SF90 and sat in it to feel it. After confirming that there was no problem, he went home again.

Just as he expected, the house was tidied up in perfect order, even neater and cleaner than before he left.

Even Ke Chen wondered if Jiang Yuping came to his house to clean every day.

After all, this is quite close to the house she rented, and they are in the same community.

If that’s true, then isn’t she too virtuous?

Ke Chen stood on the balcony for a while, staring at the familiar night scene in front of him in a daze.

It is understandable why Jiang Yuping did this, because she was too insecure.

Compared to Manman, Yingying and Gao Lingzhen, she really seems to be unable to help me share the pressure in business.

So I can only start from life and make sure these details are flawless so as not to abandon her.

But do I look like that kind of cold-blooded person?
I seem to be pretty good to her, right?
Help Haohao go to school and give her a rich life.

It’s an exchange, and I didn’t get anything for free.

Thinking of this, Ke Chen accepted Jiang Yuping’s meticulous and considerate care with peace of mind.

It’s like he has a life manager and doesn’t have to worry about anything in life.

Not bad!
Ke Chen smiled knowingly and waited for about twenty minutes before finally seeing Jiang Yuping driving downstairs.

“Jiang Yuping: Mr. Ke, I’m downstairs.”

“Ke Chen: I’ll be down right away.”

After Ke Chen went downstairs, he found Jiang Yuping standing next to the car door.

But she seemed to have changed her clothes. She was no longer wearing the professional uniform that had been ravaged by various things, but a lavender suspender dress that covered her hips.

The suspenders hung on her fair shoulders, and under the light of the car lights, her delicate skin exuded a luster like mutton-fat jade.

Her long, shiny black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, no longer a serious single ponytail. She looked full of the indescribable charm of a young woman, charming and attractive.

Of course, the most attractive thing is her hip skirt.

The skirt fits Jiang Yuping’s voluptuous and graceful figure tightly, outlining her amazing curves.

The slender waist is not even thick enough to be held in one hand, and forms a perfect curve with the plump peach-shaped buttocks, showing the charm and enchantment of the young woman.

The hem of the skirt stops just right at the middle of her thighs, revealing her long and straight legs, making her leg lines look graceful and smooth.

Moreover, Jiang Yuping even took the time to put on some light makeup, making her face delicate and beautiful.

Her red lips were slightly pursed, as if she was smiling but not quite smiling, revealing the charm of a young woman and the shyness of a young girl.

The charming peach blossom eyes were like a bottomless lake, full and moving. From time to time, she blinked gently and looked at Ke Chen, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

If Jiang Yuping, who was wearing an OL uniform just now, was an urban beauty and a skilled mother, then now that she is free from any constraints, she has transformed into the most charming and attractive young woman, and her every move reveals a charm that makes men unable to extricate themselves.

This made Ke Chen, who hadn’t seen Jiang Yuping wearing a hip wrap for a long time, secretly admire him and then chuckled.

“Why did you think of changing clothes?”

“It’s all because of you, Mr. Ke.”

Jiang Yuping pouted slightly, and her coquettish look fully exuded her femininity.

“You just tore my black silk stockings, so I had to change my clothes. Do you like it?”

“good.”

Ke Chen could not hide the heat in his eyes. He strode up to Jiang Yuping and took her into his arms. His palm only stayed on her plump waist for a moment, then slid along the silky fabric to her plump and firm peach buttocks, lingering there wantonly, with a naughty smile on his face.

“Your clothes are so thin, and you’re not wearing anything underneath, aren’t you afraid of being seen?”

“It’s so late, no one should be able to see it, right?”

A layer of hazy blush appeared on Jiang Yuping’s pretty face. She leaned into Ke Chen’s arms, supporting her hands on his strong chest muscles and whispering seductively.

“I am no longer Haohao’s mother, nor am I the driver who supports you, Mr. Ke. I am your lover, so of course I have to dress in a way that suits my status.”

“sensible.”

Ke Chen chuckled and patted the plump and attractive peach buttocks behind Jiang Yuping.

“Let’s go drive?”

“Boss Ke, don’t you want me to sit in the passenger seat?”

Jiang Yuping’s pretty face turned slightly red, and she looked at Ke Chen with charming eyes, which made him couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

“We’ll talk about it when we get home tonight. Let’s finish our work first. I won’t let you help me in the car this time.”

“it is good.”

Jiang Yuping nodded and immediately took the initiative to sit in the main driver’s seat. Ke Chen also sat in his boss’ seat, behind the co-pilot seat, as usual.

After driving for about twenty minutes, the two arrived in front of Su Wen Bookstore.

Looking at the quaint and simple store, Ke Chen immediately thought of the girl named Jian Xin.

Don’t you know she’s still here?
Thinking back to Jian Xin’s beautiful face that was like the white moonlight, Ke Chen felt a little nervous.

After getting off the car, he took Jiang Yuping into Su Wen Bookstore with great expectations, only to find that Jian Xin was not there.

Instead, a woman in her forties was watching over the store.

At this moment, she was cleaning with her back to the door, and her back looked a little desolate.

He was wearing a yellowed white T-shirt and black trousers that had been worn out for some time. The trouser legs were torn and worn, and they were patched up with cloth of various colors.

“Hello.”

“Hello!”

When she heard that a guest was coming in, the woman quickly put down the work of cleaning the garbage in her hands, turned around and smiled politely with a bright smile on her face.

“Excuse me, sir, are you looking to buy a book or borrow one?”

“…”

Ke Chen was stunned for a moment, because although the woman in front of him was dressed simply, her appearance was still charming.

And she looks 70% similar to Jian Xin, just like her when she grows up.

There is nothing amazing at first glance, but it is very comfortable to look at for a long time.

“This guest?”

Seeing that Ke Chen was a little dazed, the woman hurriedly rubbed her face, fearing that there was something dirty on her that would make him laugh at her.

“Sorry, I was cleaning just now, so my face might be a little dirty…”

“I’m not here to borrow or buy books.”

Ke Chen coughed lightly and then smiled slightly.

“I’m here to buy this store. Do you still remember it?”

Acquiring a store?
The woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly widened, and she held Ke Chen’s hand excitedly and expressed her gratitude, even with a trembling tone in her voice.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

?

Ke Chen was a little confused by this thank you.

I pay the money and you sell the store.

This is a very reasonable thing, why get so excited?

“Why are you thanking me? I just bought your store.”

“Because my family is having some financial difficulties.”

The woman wiped her eyes with the rough back of her hand, and then she returned to her gentle smile.

“Your tens of thousands of dollars helped me relieve a lot of stress. I have always wanted to meet you and thank you in person. Thank you!”

“You’re welcome.”

Ke Chen appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually a little shocked inside.

You bought this bookstore for tens of thousands of dollars?
This is too cheap!
Ke Chen looked around.

The decoration of Suwen Bookstore is indeed different from other bookstores and looks a bit old.

Even the tungsten filament light bulb above my head had not been replaced. It would dim from time to time in the middle of the night and was even full of mosquitoes.

For a store of this level, tens of thousands of dollars is indeed enough.

Ke Chen suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of blockage in his heart, and asked softly.

“Auntie, may I ask your name?”

“Zheng Xiuyan.”

Zheng Xiuyan said her name confidently, and then asked curiously.

“You should be Mr. Ke Chen, right?”

“correct.”

Ke Chen nodded and then asked curiously.

“Excuse me, are you having any trouble?”

“Nothing.”

When talking about this matter, Zheng Xiuyan seemed a little reserved.

However, Ke Chen was the boss of the store he had just bought, so it was no exaggeration to say that he was his benefactor.

So after some thought, Zheng Xiuyan still smiled bitterly.

“My child needs tuition fees for school, and she has some minor health problems, so I sold the store.”

“Your child’s name… is Jian Xin?”

“Huh? How did you know that?”

Zheng Xiuyan was very surprised to hear Ke Chen calling out Jian Xin’s name.

“You know her?”

“I saw it last time I came here.”

Ke Chen looked around, and Zheng Xiuyan quickly brought two worn-out stools for him and Jiang Yuping behind him, looking quite embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, but we don’t have anything to entertain our distinguished guests in the store, not even tea. I’ll go get you a glass of water.”

“It’s ok.”

Ke Chen waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t mind, but Zheng Xiuyan still poured two glasses of warm water for him and Jiang Yuping.

“So you and An Ni have known each other for a long time.”

“Yes, because I graduated from Jiangbei University.”

Ke Chen took a sip of the warm water in the cup.

“I remember that your daughter is a good student and was admitted to the Faculty of Arts of Jiangbei University?”

“Yes.”

When Zheng Xiuyan heard her daughter mentioned, she became extremely proud.

“She ranked second in the liberal arts in Jiangbei City in the college entrance examination.”

“so tall?”

Ke Chen was a little surprised.

If Jiangbei is ranked second in liberal arts, he can go to study in Beijing, right?
Why are you still willing to stay in Jiangbei?
“Then why didn’t she go to a better school? This grade should be impressive, right?”

“Because she has some health problems.”

Zheng Xiuyan sighed softly, her face full of worry.

“If she goes to school in another city, I will have to take care of her, but our family conditions are really not enough to support me renting a house in another city, especially in a place like Beijing.”

“I remember you can apply for a student loan or something?”

“It’s possible, but it’s hard to pay it back even if you look at it.”

Zheng Xiuyan looked bitter.

“Plus, An Ni insisted on going to school in Jiangbei, so it’s settled.”

“Is it.”

Ke Chen felt a little sorry for Jian Xin, and immediately asked tentatively out of curiosity.

“May I ask, where exactly is Jian Xin feeling uncomfortable?”

“Well, she has a congenital heart disease.”

Congenital heart disease?

Ke Chen was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why she called herself “Jian Xin”, a somewhat strange name.

Live simply, or rather, want to simply have a healthy heart.

Or maybe it’s a homophonic pun.
