Jian He was actually quite reluctant to agree to Zuo Feng's request.

Although she reconciled with Zuo Feng, it was only out of consideration for Cheng Gang and Cheng Yan, because their relationship was too special and Jian He didn't want to put Cheng Yan in a difficult position.

Jian He is still quite hesitant now that Zuo Feng has proposed to buy her design drawings.

Although the Jian family's business was doing well in Nanluo City, it was insignificant in the capital.

She could tell that Zuo Feng wanted to ease the tension between him and Cheng Yan by making this request.

Jian He did not agree immediately.

She thought for a moment and said, "Today is a family dinner, so let's not talk business. If Mr. Zuo really wants to buy my design drawings, we can talk about it later."

"it is good."

The two of them headed towards the private room.

With Cheng Gang present, the dinner lasted quite a while. Finally, Cheng Yan suggested that the meal be called to a close, and everyone got up and left.

Cheng Gang and Aunt Zuo rode in the Cheng Mansion's private car home.

The person on the left left went first.

Cheng Yan and Jian He rode in Cheng Yan's car to the hospital.

Jian He also needs to take care of Rui Bao, and Cheng Yan's body has not fully recovered yet. Staying in the hospital for a few more days will also be good for his recovery.

On the way back to Cheng Mansion, Cheng Gang looked very preoccupied.

Seeing that Cheng Gang was in a bad mood, Aunt Zuo couldn't help but show concern.

"Hey, Lao Cheng, what's wrong with you? You've gotten into a bad mood after having a meal with the kids? What happened?" Aunt Zuo was very concerned about Cheng Gang's every word and action.

After all, back then, she was a woman with a child, and when she tried to develop her career in the capital, she was almost always bullied.

If it weren't for Cheng Gang's timely intervention, which gave her and Zuo Feng a place to live, Aunt Zuo couldn't imagine what kind of life they would have led.

Therefore, over the years, Aunt Zuo has always been grateful to Cheng Gang.

She regarded Cheng Gang as her husband, her benefactor, and the closest person to her in the world.

But Cheng Gang always had only a lukewarm feeling for her.

"It's nothing, it's just that after spending time with young people, I feel that it's really great to be young."

"We are getting old after all."

Cheng Gang casually brushed it off with a few words and changed the subject.

Aunt Zuo chuckled and teased Cheng Gang, "You're still talking? Jian He's son called you grandpa tonight, aren't you old yet?"

"It's just that Ayan, Xiaoxue, and Zuofeng are the three kids who don't want to get married. If they had gotten married earlier, our children would probably be running all over the yard by now."

Aunt Zuo chuckled, and Cheng Gang turned his face away to look out the window.

After returning to the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Gang and Aunt Zuo went into the living room.

Cheng Gang remained silent and turned to the left. To the left was Cheng Gang's bedroom and study, which was guarded by dedicated staff. Even when the household servants were cleaning, dedicated staff would keep an eye on them.

As for Aunt Zuo's room, it was on the right side of the living room. Aunt Zuo and Cheng Gang had been living like this for years.

For a time, Aunt Zuo really wanted to take her relationship with Cheng Gang to the next level.

However, Cheng Gang's deep affection for his deceased ex-wife never gave Aunt Zuo any chance.

Back in his room, Cheng Gang closed the door, took out his phone, and pulled up the photos of Rui Bao that Jian He had sent him, examining them carefully.

As he watched, Cheng Gang's eyes began to well up with tears.

He took out a photo of Cheng Yan when he was a child from the drawer and compared it with the photo. The faces in the two photos were almost identical.

Cheng Gang's hand, gripping the phone, trembled slightly.

He thought for a moment, then dialed a phone number. Soon after, Jian Qingshan's voice came through the receiver.

"Hey, Lao Cheng?"

"Old buddy, it's me, Cheng Gang. It's been so many years. How have you been?"

Jian Qingshan chuckled: "I'm fine, it's just that my body wasn't cooperating and I had a bit of a throbbing, but I've already had rehabilitation treatment and I'm much better now."

Cheng Gang hummed in agreement.

"And you? I saw your news on TV, you're doing well..."

Jian Qingshan casually asked Cheng Gang a question.

Cheng Gang did not answer his question directly. Instead, he said, "I'll take some time in the next few days to visit you at home."

“Sure, you can come anytime…”

"I heard you have a little grandson, and I'd really like to meet him," Cheng Gang said, mentioning Ruibao.

Jian Qingshan didn't suspect anything. He just assumed that Cheng Yan and Jian He were dating, and Cheng Gang wanted to see Rui Bao simply to discuss what to do with the child.

"Okay, let me know in advance when you're coming."

The two old men agreed on a time to meet. Cheng Gang sat up for a long time that night, unable to fall asleep.

Jian He rode in Cheng Yan's car to the hospital, where she helped Cheng Yan slowly upstairs.

Cheng Yan casually chatted with her: "You went to the restroom just now, and Zuo Feng followed you out. He didn't give you any more trouble, did he?"

Jian He smiled and said to him, "With you as my backer, how dare he make things difficult for me? Besides, even if he wanted to make things difficult, he'd have to pick a place, right? With Uncle Cheng, this big boss, around, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he made things difficult for me?"

Cheng Yan nodded.

“That’s right. Zuo Feng’s poor judgment of character has already caused you trouble, and I haven’t even held him accountable yet. If he dares to make things difficult for you again, just confront him.”

Jian He hurriedly explained, "He didn't make things difficult for me. He just talked to me about collaboration. He said he wanted to buy my design drafts..."

"Oh? What are you thinking? Are you going to sell it to him?"

Jian He shook her head: "Would I be at a huge disadvantage if I sold it to him? I still want to cooperate with him."

"Back when I was in Nanluo, didn't I run a very small clothing company? That clothing company is barely surviving now. If we could cooperate with Zuo Feng's company, it might be able to come back to life."

Jian He's idea received Cheng Yan's support.

He turned to look at her and teased, "You're quite something, aren't you? You've been making more and more money since you came to the capital."

Jane raised her eyebrows and said smugly, "Of course, making money will be my top priority for the rest of my life."

Cheng Yan looked at her; she was delicate and lovely, especially her red lips, which shone with an alluring light.

He had been in the hospital for several days, undergoing surgery and recuperation, and hadn't been intimate with Jian He for many days.

Seeing Jian He's adorable pout, Cheng Yan couldn't resist lowering his head and giving her a light peck on her red lips, which made Jian He blush.

She frowned, unable to suppress a laugh as she protested to Cheng Yan.

"This is a hospital, this is a corridor, people are coming and going, how dare you kiss me?"

Cheng Yan ignored her protests and lowered his head to kiss Jian He's red lips again.

Unexpectedly, this kiss was...
