Chapter 683: Buying Off

"Boss Cutie"

"My family background isn't that great, and my parents aren't that outstanding either. My mom was a bit nasty to you today, and then flipped her attitude so fast. I feel kind of bad about it, and I also think they're too snobbish." Little White Dove lowered her eyes.

A moment later, Sheng Xinyi hugged Little White Dove. "Nobody gets to choose their origins, but I know you came from a bad background and you're still working hard, and that's enough. You're not a snob, so doesn't that settle it?"

"From the very beginning, the person I've liked is you. Because I want you to keep walking forward with me, I have to consider the problems of both our families. Being a little snobbish is a good thing. At least your mom is easy to buy off. Compared to those in-law relationships that are so hard to deal with, doesn't that make me lucky? And in the future your mom won't dare bully me either."

As soon as Sheng Xinyi's words came out, Little White Dove burst out laughing. "That's obviously a bad thing, so how come hearing it from your mouth makes it sound like it turned into something good?"

Under the moonlight, Sheng Xinyi kissed Little White Dove on the cheek and said with a smile, "Aren't people supposed to be a little optimistic?"

With that kiss, Little White Dove's mood immediately brightened quite a bit.

Little White Dove clasped Sheng Xinyi's fair little hand.

The road ahead was winding and long, but with her accompanying him, he saw fluorescent light dancing through the sky, and saw the lush green of the flowers, grass and trees all around.

Even in the darkness, he still leaned toward the light.

…

The Jiang family villa, the living room.

Jiang Muye sat on the gray carpet of the tatami floor, while Leng Ruoli sat on the sofa.

Jiang Muye brought over a bottle of folic acid tablets, the very ones they had gotten from the Civil Affairs Bureau when they registered their marriage.

"Come on, hand, give me your hand." Jiang Muye said to her with a smile.

Leng Ruoli obediently held out her hand.

Jiang Muye poured the folic acid tablets into her palm. "One tablet a day, remember to take it on time."

"They actually don't taste very good~" Leng Ruoli muttered, pouting her red lips. "I don't really like them."

Jiang Muye reached out and gently stroked her golden hair. "You have to take them even if you don't like them. Thanks for the hard work, my darling, carrying my child for me. Pregnant moms are yyds."

"Pfft." Leng Ruoli was amused by Jiang Muye.

Seeing Jiang Muye's cheeky grinning face, her heart was steeped in happiness.

"Fine, then I'll take them for your sake."

She lowered her head and began putting the folic acid tablets in her palm into her mouth, and then Jiang Muye handed her water and personally watched her swallow them.

"You have to take them every day, don't forget." Jiang Muye reminded her.

"Alright, I know, you little nag." Leng Ruoli smiled sweetly.

Jiang Muye leaned in and unconsciously reached out a finger to gently pinch Leng Ruoli's cheek. "What is it, now that I'm reminding you to take your medicine, I've become a little nag? Am I a nag?"

"A nag, but it's because you're doing it for my good!" Leng Ruoli's eyes curved. "I'm happy."

Jiang Muye reached out and gently circled Leng Ruoli's waist, then rested his head on her belly and nuzzled it with his face, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Darling, you're so good. I love you so much."

Leng Ruoli kissed Jiang Muye's forehead. "You're working hard too, being an expectant father. Daddy, I love you too."

Jiang Muye couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Didn't you want to eat sour jujubes the most during your pregnancy? I'll go buy you a few boxes."

Leng Ruoli was overjoyed. "Hubby, you're so thoughtful. I'll never call you a nag again."

Jiang Muye glared at her. "Just now you called me a nag, and now that there's food, you don't say it anymore. You little girl has two faces."

Leng Ruoli stuck out her pink tongue, looking completely playful and cute.

As for the matter of taking the folic acid tablets, Jiang Muye had never imagined that Leng Ruoli would run into a problem with it.

One day he was still at the office, since there was still a meeting to hold that night to discuss the progress and plans for a certain project of the company. But just before Jiang Muye went to the meeting, he received a phone call.

A single look and he realized it was Leng Ruoli.

"Darling, what's wrong?" Seeing that it was Leng Ruoli's call, Jiang Muye was very happy.

Leng Ruoli's lips immediately curled down slightly, clearly a little anxious. "What should I do, hubby!"

Hearing Leng Ruoli's uneasy tone, Jiang Muye was instantly puzzled. "Baby, what happened?"

Leng Ruoli immediately said to Jiang Muye, "Something did happen. I… when I woke up today, I was all muddled and didn't check, and it turned out I realized I took the wrong medicine! I actually took a bottle of anti-inflammatory pills thinking they were folic acid tablets. What am I supposed to do about this?"

Hearing this, Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly.

This was indeed no small matter.

After all, Leng Ruoli was pregnant now, and pregnant women couldn't just take any medicine, otherwise it was very easy to cause harm to the child in her belly.

Jiang Muye immediately soothed Leng Ruoli's anxious, uneasy emotions. "It's fine, baby, don't be scared. I'm rushing back right now. You rest well at home first."

Leng Ruoli nodded.

After Jiang Muye hung up the phone, he started putting on his jacket.

When the secretary saw Jiang Muye walking out, she was instantly surprised. "The CEO, where are you going? The meeting is about to start."

Jiang Muye said to the secretary very seriously, "My wife isn't feeling well. When the time comes, you supervise and inspect it, remember to record the audio and video for me, and I'll do a summary after the meeting."

Although work was important, family was important too.

It was impossible for Jiang Muye to throw his whole heart into work and forget to care about the people around him.

After hearing Jiang Muye's words, the secretary's heart went all fluttery.

Actually, the summary of this meeting was quite important, and she herself wasn't sure she could handle it on her own.

But since the CEO had said so, then no matter how difficult it was, she definitely had to bite the bullet and go through with it.

Only, she had one worry…

"The CEO, I'll try my best to handle things here, but the Board of Directors will definitely have opinions, and when the time comes, if they tear into you, what should we do?"

Faced with the secretary's worry, Jiang Muye said bluntly, "If they have opinions, then let them have their opinions. Right now I'm the one in charge. Since they handed the Chen Group to me, then they listen to me. If they want to criticize me, they should first see whether they have the right."

Jiang Muye cared about the Chen Group, but that didn't mean he had to live stifled within the Chen Group.

Although this position was impressive, to Jiang Muye it was just a position. He could obtain a similar position through his own hard work.

Even without the position of CEO of the Chen Group, Jiang Muye could still be the CEO of the X Group, the CEO of some other group.

But there was only one Leng Ruoli.

Jiang Muye's resolute manner made the secretary secretly admire him.

So cool, way too cool.

And men who loved their families especially had charm of their own.

As for those scumbags, scummy and fond of playing around, and not even as capable as the CEO.

The secretary was now fully behind Jiang Muye. "The CEO, go on ahead. I'll hold down the fort here."

"Alright, send me the video call and the documents on time." After issuing his orders to the secretary, Jiang Muye headed outside.

Through the System, Jiang Muye traversed space and went from the company straight to home.

He opened the door and walked out, and heard a series of crackling sounds.
