After transmigrating, I became a mother of three?!

"Is there any cigarette?"

Not getting the reaction he expected, Zeng Yunchen got a little bored, tapped his chin on the desk, and stopped talking.

They're still pretending, let's see who can't hold back first.

As soon as the lighter was lit, the study was filled with the pungent and unpleasant smell of cigarettes, but the smoker seemed oblivious.

Has she returned?

After a long while, a sound was heard, faint, yet tinged with certain emotions.

"Who?"

Du Pengfei looked coldly at Zeng Yunchen, "Do you know who I'm talking about?"

"You're back, you're back! Give me a smile!"

Even Zeng Yunchen, who is known for his aloofness, couldn't help but lower his posture in front of his friend.

Who could blame him when the young master of the Du family before him was not only a good friend of his, but also the descendant of a general, the current secretary of the city, and the youngest secretary in the city? He was a man with a bright future and a promising young man to be reckoned with.

"Sometimes, I'm not trying to be mean, but when you two aren't together, you miss each other, but when you are together, you're worlds apart," Zeng Yunchen couldn't help but snatch Du Pengfei's cigarette.

"It's none of your business."

"Okay, if you really don't need me to take care of it, then I really won't."

Du Pengfei didn't take Zeng Yunchen's threat to heart at all. Given that person's position in the Zeng Group, Zeng Yunchen wouldn't do anything to her.

Without a cigarette in his hand, Du Pengfei didn't know how to relieve his discomfort. He could only rub his wristwatch, which was bought for him by that person when he was working part-time in college. It had been almost ten years.

"How long is she planning to stay this time?"

Even though we can't meet, the longing in my heart has already welled up, so I can't help but ask about your recent situation.

Zeng Yunchen sat down again, his face serious. "I plan to keep Ji Yu at Zeng's. My uncle has put in so much effort this time, he won't give up anytime soon. I plan to put Ji Yu in charge of the company we recently took back, and take this opportunity to get rid of the parasites in the company."

"Aren't you leaving?"

Zeng Yunchen's only statement seemed to be "Let Ji Yu stay at Zeng's company." Du Pengfei heard this but paid no attention to what was happening at his friend's company.

Zeng Yunchen rolled his eyes at Du Pengfei, disgusted by his friend's behavior. Du Pengfei seemed like a serious person, but he seemed to lose his mind when he met someone he liked. However, Zeng Yunchen did not take himself into account. In terms of love, he was no less than Du Pengfei.

"Yes, we're not leaving. Are you relieved?"

Zeng Yunchen patted Du Pengfei on the shoulder and said earnestly, "What are you two planning to do? Are you just going to keep dragging this out? Ji Yu can't afford to wait any longer."

Ji Yu, Zeng Yunchen, Du Pengfei, and their other friend Wang Shutong were college classmates of similar age. They were in the same class, and it was during that time that Ji Yu and Du Pengfei met.

The room was silent except for the ticking of the clock. Du Pengfei sat on the sofa, the dim yellow light shining on his face, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Suddenly, the room went dark.

"Come on, let me take you for a walk in the yard. Now that you're back, don't be so tense."

In the darkness, Zeng Yunchen pulled Du Pengfei's arm, and only when no one was watching could Du Pengfei relax a little.

His background destined him to attract more attention than others. His grandfather was a founding hero, and his father was a vice-state leader. Growing up in such an environment, it was only natural that he followed the same path as his grandfather and father after graduation.

However, this path is more difficult than most people imagine. His identity brings him attention and pressure. Every step he takes is related to the entire family. He cannot afford to make a mistake or go astray.

This leads him to overthink when he's with his partner. Zeng Yunchen often says that if Ji Yu didn't genuinely like him, he would really advise her to give up.

Du Pengfei didn't want to agree with this, but it was the truth. He owed Ji Yu too much—time, youth—which could never be made up for.

"When was that room put into use?"

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Du Pengfei pointed to the study and asked.

"Is that person inside... Tang Min? Is she cured?"

When Du Pengfei saw who was sitting inside, he was a little surprised. Didn't Zeng Yunchen say he had amnesia? But the way he held the pen and his focus were clearly the same as before.

"No, Master Lu came back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she practiced intensively for two weeks. Since then, it seems that her memory for calligraphy has recovered somewhat, and she comes here every day when she has nothing to do."

Everyone encounters all sorts of things. Zeng Yunchen initially thought Tang Min was better, but after observing her for a few days, he realized that she was just engrossed in practicing and that everything else was the same as before; she hadn't remembered anything.

To make sure he hadn't missed anything, Zeng Yunchen even contacted Hua Manyan to find out if Tang Min had told her anything new recently, but to his surprise, Hua Manyan hadn't either.

Inside the study, Tang Min was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world, focusing solely on her creative work.

Inside the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Zeng Yunchen looked at Tang Min and said, "Actually, I think sometimes sitting here and just looking at her is quite enjoyable."

Anyway, he had made up his mind. Regardless of whether Tang Min would get better or not, as long as she was healthy and happy, nothing else mattered.

This scene reminded Du Pengfei of his previous promise to Ji Yu: "When we get old, we'll find a yard, plant some flowers and plants, and tinker with them every day when we have nothing to do."

Whenever they talked about it, Ji Yu was always very happy. At that time, the two of them were full of hope and anticipation for the future.

"You're just overthinking things. There's nothing wrong with you, but you insist on putting pressure on yourself. How about I talk to Ji Yu and ask her to demote her?"

Ji Yu currently holds the position of Vice President at Zeng's Group, overseeing the company's marketing department and factory operations. He spends more days on business trips each month than he does in Yongcheng.

"No need, this is the result of her hard work, I can't be so selfish."

A political family background plus a vice president of a well-known company—it seems like a perfect match, a powerful alliance. Only Du Pengfei is considering the public opinion this union will generate. He doesn't want Ji Yu to lose everything she has because of him; that's not a good choice...

She should have been able to shine in her area of ​​expertise, so why confine herself to one place?

Hey

In the air, a sigh, so long and so far, could be heard by someone in the distance.
