After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Ci nestled in his arms, her voice choked with emotion, "You're not a failure at all. You're the best in my heart. I'll try to get used to relying on you from now on."

Shen Ceyan smiled faintly and touched her hair: "Alright, why are you still crying? Come on, let's dry your hair first." He then turned on the hair dryer.

His technique was actually a bit clumsy, probably because it was his first time doing something like this, but it felt very comfortable.

In memory of Ci, he obediently let him dry his hair.

After drying his hair, Shen Ceyan returned to his study to work. After he left, Ji Nianci turned on her computer, opened her "Pampering My Husband Plan" document, and typed in the second point: "Be more affectionate with your husband."

At that moment, Ciji received a phone call from her mother.

"Niannian, it's Mommy." A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Yes, Mom, I'm here." Upon suddenly hearing her mother's voice, Ji Nianci's tears instantly flowed down her cheeks.

In her previous life, she couldn't accept the marriage arranged for her by her parents, and her relationship with them gradually cooled. Until her death, she never had the chance to have a proper heart-to-heart talk or a meal with her parents.

Having been reborn into this life, she hesitated to call or go home because she didn't know how to face them. Ultimately, it was her mother who swallowed her pride and called her first, admitting she had been a terrible daughter.

"Mom called you to ask when you're free to come home for a meal and bring Ceyan along. You haven't come home much since you got married, and I know you're still angry with your parents, but Ceyan is really a very good kid. Bring him home first, have a meal, and let's have a good family chat."

Even over the phone, Jinianci could sense her mother's cautious tone of inquiry.

She sniffed softly, trying to suppress her emotions: "Okay, Mom, I'll bring Ceyan back tomorrow. I miss you too. I'm not angry with you and Dad. On the contrary, I'm very grateful to you. I was too immature before and didn't cherish this marriage. Now I understand. He is really good to me, and I love him very much."

Mother Ji was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Really? Niannian, it's so good that you think this way. I'm so happy. As long as you live happily, that's more important than anything else. Here, I'll go and ask Aunt Liu to buy more vegetables now, and we'll cook more of your favorite dishes tomorrow. Mom and Dad will be waiting for you to come home."

"Okay, Mom."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Nianci went out and knocked on the study door.

"Enter."

Ji Nianci pushed open the door and saw Shen Ceyan in a video conference. She obediently remained silent, walked to the sofa next to him, sat down, and quietly looked at him.

Shen Ceyan looked up and saw that it was her. The stern look in his eyes immediately turned into a gentle one.

He said a few words quickly and then ended the video conference.

"Did I disturb you?" Ji Nianci asked somewhat apologetically when he saw that he had just entered the room and the meeting had already ended.

"No, what brings you here?" He reached out, adjusted his glasses, and spoke with extreme patience.

"Mom just called to ask if we're coming home for dinner. I promised her I'd be back tomorrow. I just wanted to ask if you're free."

Ji Nianci twisted the hem of her clothes, her expression somewhat unnatural. She had just received a call from her mother and was so excited that she immediately agreed to go back tomorrow. But she forgot that Shen Ceyan was very busy with work; what if he wasn't available tomorrow? Yet, she didn't want to disappoint her mother.

"You're planning to take me back with you?" Upon hearing this, Shen Ceyan was taken aback at first, but then a faint joy appeared in his eyes.

“Yes…yes.” Seeing his reaction, Ji Nianci realized that she had never brought Shen Ceyan home after they got married.

Thinking of this, Ji Nianci felt a pang of sadness. She walked straight over, sat on Shen Ceyan's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, I treated you so badly before..."

Shen Ceyan smiled faintly, gently stroking her face with one hand, and said softly, "It's alright, it's all in the past, you don't need to apologize to me."

With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, he felt a surge of heat within him.

At this moment, Ji Nianci seemed to suddenly remember something, immediately slid off his lap, and said to him, "By the way, Shen Ceyan, let's go buy some gifts to take home tomorrow. It's your first time going back, so we should leave a good impression on your parents."

Shen Ceyan felt the reaction beneath him and sighed helplessly: This little girl is really...

"Okay, let's go now."

"I'll go tidy up first, wait for me~" After saying that, she skipped back to her room.

After Ji Nianci finished tidying up and came downstairs, Shen Ceyan was already waiting in the living room.

The man, dressed in a black shirt and black trousers with the cuffs rolled up loosely, sat on the sofa with his long legs casually crossed. His posture was noble and elegant, and his angular face looked as if he had stepped out of a medieval oil painting, making him look exactly like a noble young master.

Seeing her come down, the man got up, walked over, took her hand, and the two walked outside side by side.

Shen Ceyan opened the car door for Yan, shielding her head to prevent her from bumping it. He closed the door after making sure she was seated properly, and then walked to the driver's seat and got in the car.

"Where do you want to go?" Shen Ceyan asked as he fastened his seatbelt.

"Wherever you want to go, we'll go. You're the one picking out the gift today."

"……Row."

The two drove to Global Trade Center, the most bustling shopping center in City A.

After finding a place to park the car, Shen Ceyan took her hand and led her inside.

Today, Ciji wore a light blue denim mini skirt, a beige knitted cardigan, and white boots, revealing her long, slender legs. Her hair was styled in a loose bun, making her look both sweet and exceptionally youthful.

The two held hands, looking very affectionate. They were both handsome and beautiful, and they were a sight to behold just walking in the mall, attracting the attention of everyone around them.

"Hey, look at that handsome guy in the black shirt! He's so charming, he has this kind of ascetic kind of handsomeness. And the girl next to him is so pretty and cute too. Waaah, when will God give me a boyfriend like that?"

"Look at them, holding hands the whole time, never letting go. That handsome guy even turns around every now and then, looking at that girl with a doting smile. Ahhhhh, I'm totally swooning! Another day of being moved to tears by other people's fairytale romance." Two onlookers watched them and exclaimed.
