“Who were you on the phone with?”

Zhou Ling said with a charming smile, “A man.”

Zhu Wentao’s eyes darkened, and Zhou Ling covered her mouth and giggled,

“Jealous? Just kidding, it’s Manager Fu. He’s hosting a dinner at Dechang

Building this weekend, inviting you and some investors.”

Zhu Wentao gently tapped her nose, “You naughty thing.”

Zhou Ling took hold of his hand, “I know you’re upset that we didn’t secure The

Oasis Program, but there’s nothing we could do. We were never in Shenzhou

Group’s plans. We have to find new projects now. Manager Fu has a few lined up for you to check out.”

“This Shen Zhou is really incorrigible,” Zhu Wentao said unhappily.

“He has the right to be. Don’t be mad. Let’s work harder together. Once our company grows stronger and its market value surpasses Shenzhou Group, we won’t have to please anyone anymore.” Zhu Wentao caressed her face, “I know it’s been hard on you these days.”

“I don’t feel tired at all if I’m with you.”

Zhou Ling leaned into Zhu Wentao’s embrace, her eyes shimmering, and gently placed a hand on her belly, “I’m just worried about the hardships our child will face.”

Zhu Wentao was taken aback, then grabbed her shoulders, looking at her stomach with disbelief, “You’re pregnant?”

Zhou Ling shyly smiled, but moments later her expression turned somber, “I don’t want our child to be born out of wedlock and be looked down upon for their entire life. I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow.”

Zhou Ling said worriedly, “But what about Madam…?”

Zhu Wentao snorted, “You leave everything to me. Just focus on taking care of yourself and the baby.”

There were only three people in the Shen household: Shen Zhou, Elder Theodore Shelby, and a maid named Madam Zhang.

The two-story villa was decorated cozily, but it was always cold and lifeless.

Unable to sit still, Elder Theodore Shelby had turned the entire garden’s land over, planting a variety of vegetables like potatoes, rapeseed, and tomatoes, treating the garden as a vegetable patch.

Shen Zhou went along with it as a form of exercise. However, due to the recent incident on the subway, he asked Elder Theodore to rest more at home. But the elder could not sit still and would go to the park to meet up with his dance partners. Shen Zhou, fearing another accident, provided a car and even hired a bodyguard to accompany him.

Today, the old man had come back in high spirits to fertilize his potatoes.

“Uncle Shen, let me help you,” a gentle and charming voice sounded. Elder Theodore looked up and laughed, “Nana, you’re not giving up, are you?” Mao Nana smiled, “Don’t you like seeing me, Uncle Shen?”

“It’s not that. I just don’t want you to be hurt. Shen Zhou won’t be gentle with you. Don’t cry and run back home to complain again. People who don’t know might think he bullied you.”

Mao Nana stepped into the vegetable patch, frowning slightly at her custom-made high heels.

Elder Theodore waved his hand, “I appreciate your filial piety, but don’t come in. You don’t want your beautiful shoes to get muddy.”

Indeed, Mao Nana stopped in her tracks.

“Uncle Shen, don’t you want a grandson?”

The old man’s eyes lit up, then dimmed immediately, “It’s not up to me. The one who should put in the effort is the father.”

“As long as you help me, I assure you, you’ll have a grandson.”

Elder Theodore glanced at her, “You better go back. I still want to live a few more years.”

“Uncle Shen, it’s not easy for me to come to Jiangzhou. I’m determined to marry him. Please help me. I promise to give you a healthy grandson and treat you like my real father.”

Her words made Elder Theodore laugh, “You probably don’t even treat your biological father this well. For a man who doesn’t love you, is it worth it? What are girls thinking these days?”

Mao Nana bit her lip, “So do you really want him to stay single forever?”

Elder Theodore sighed, “It’s not up to me. There’s a woman in his heart he can’t forget.”

Looking Mao Nana up and down, he continued, “I’m just saying, that woman made Shen Zhou remember her for so many years and vow not to marry anyone else. You can imagine what kind of fairy she must be. Even if you remold yourself, it won’t work. So, my advice to you is to go back home and stop bothering him.”

Mao Nana’s eyes narrowed, a fierce aura emanating from her as she asked, “Who is that woman?”Elder Theodore Shelby snorted, “How would I know who it is?”

“Didn’t you just say it was a fairy? How come you don’t know now?” Mao Nana was confused by him.

At this moment, the sound of a car came from outside the front door, the iron gate slowly opened, and a black sedan drove in. Mao Nana’s eyes lit up, and she unconsciously greeted it.

“Brother Zhou, you’re back.”

A woman in her thirties callinq someone “brother” was reallv eerie, at least Shen Ke shivered a lot.

Shen Zhou frowned at her, “What are you doing here?”

“I came to see you, Brother Zhou. I really miss you.”

Without showing any expression, Shen Zhou avoided her approach, strode into the house, “Shen Ke, come to the study, we have a meeting.”

Shen Ke helplessly said to Mao Nana, “Ms. Mao, I’m sorry, the boss has an overseas video conference to attend and it will probably be very late. You should go back first, don’t let Mr. Mao worry.”

With that, he quickly caught up with Shen Zhou.

Mao Nana stomped her foot angrily, Mr. Shen shrugged, “See, I told you.”

In the study, Shen Zhou opened the bottom drawer and took out a picture frame from inside.

In the frame was a photo of a young and beautiful woman standing in front of a peach tree, looking back with a smile.

The woman had long, flowing black hair and fair skin like snow; her beauty was even more stunning than the peach blossoms behind her when she smiled.

Shen Zhou’s fingers gently brushed the woman’s face in the photo, his eyes lost in memories, seemingly sweet yet also sad.

Outside the door, Shen Ke knocked, “Sir.”

Shen Zhou put down the frame, his voice indifferent, “Come in.”

Shen Ke entered, noticing the frame by his side, his eyes dimmed.

Did the boss think of her again?

Shen Ke placed a stack of materials in front of her, “These were personally collected by me, all the information about Ms. Ming Jing Zhou. This time, there won’t be any mistakes.”

He emphasized the three words ‘Zhu Mingjing’ particularly hard.

Bringing it up was a humiliation in his career.

It took Shen Zhou a while to pick up the materials and start reading. After a long time, he put down the materials.

“Zhu Wentao has a good daughter.”

“Ms. Zhu called, she’s hosting a dinner at the Dechang Building this weekend, inviting you and Mr. Jiao to dine together.”

Shen Zhou nodded and hesitated before saying, “Why did she message you?”

Shen Ke laughed, “Maybe because I’m your assistant.”

Shen Ke didn’t dwell on this issue, he suddenly asked, “Shen Ke, you’re not young anymore, why don’t you get married.”

Shen Ke stared blankly for a moment, helplessly said, “Sir, the prerequisite for marriage is to have a partner first.”

“Why don’t you have one? There are so many girls in the company chasing you.”

Shen Ke shook his head, “Fate hasn’t arrived yet.”

Shen Zhou frowned, “Fate? What is fate?”

Shen Ke thought for a moment and said, “It’s probably when I see her in the crowd for the first time, I feel she’s the one I’ve been waiting for all my life.” Shen Zhou glanced at him, “Not young anymore, still quite romantic.”

Shen Ke rubbed his nose.

“Did the boss think of her again?”

Shen Zhou looked out the window, not realizing that it had turned dark; his reflection was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows..
