âBut theyâre just some photos. Weâve never seen Daddy in person before.â The girl puffed her cheeks.
âThatâs right.â Ji Jinchen nodded. âDonât think about Dad, Mom. Heâll only make you sad.â
âNoâ¦â Ye Shengge retorted.
âBesides, my brother and I have great-grandpa, you, and many people who like us. We donât need a father,â said the girl.
âItâs useless to miss Dad without him around,â Ji Jinchen said.
The two kids were already upset with their father.
Ye Shengge was rendered speechless.
âDonât say that. Dad will be sad if he knows.â She still wanted to protect Ji Shitingâs position in the hearts of the two children. âHeâll definitely be thrilled to see you two when he comes back. Dad talked to you every day when you were still in my womb.â
The two kids looked at each other and blinked at Ye Shengge.
She could only surrender. âOkay, Mom wonât be sad anymore. Is that okay?â
They were satisfied and kissed Ye Shenggeâs face.
âMom, you must keep to your word.â
âIf you go back on your word, my brother and I will ignore Dad when he comes back.â
Ye Shengge didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
âIâll remember.â She sighed. âSleep.â
Not long after, the two kids fell asleep in her arms.
Ye Shengge didnât feel sleepy for a long time.
Look, Shiting, if you donât come back soon, the two kids wonât acknowledge you.
â¦
The next day, Ye Shengge returned to the company and reported the results of her business trip. She then dealt with some daily matters.
Although this life had been going on for almost three years, Ye Shengge still couldnât get used to this pace. She thought that Ji Shiting wouldnât feel as tired as she did.
Lunch was a simple meal at work. After lunch, Sun Ye walked over with a gold invitation.
âMadam, thereâs a high-end summit in Summer City. Iâve sent you an invitation,â he said as he put the invitation in front of her. âPerhaps youâll be interested.â
Ye Shengge couldnât help raising an eyebrow.
All the people invited to this summit were big shots in the Internet industry. Anyone who received an invitation and confirmed to participate had to do a simple presentation. This was a good chance to learn and communicate.
She nodded and said, âOkay, help me arrange it. By the way, itâs the kidsâ third birthday two days after the summit. Help me book the return flight as early as possible.â
âNo problem,â Sun Ye agreed.
âLet Lin Ran stay. Iâll leave the kidsâ birthday party to her,â Ye Shengge said. âJust come with me.â
âAhâ¦â Sun Ye nodded. âIâll talk to her.â
âWhy do you sound so reluctant?â Ye Shengge smiled. âCanât bear to part for a few days?â
âYouâre kidding, Madam!â Sun Ye denied. âIâm colleagues with Assistant Lin. Thereâs nothing to be reluctant about.â
Ye Shengge didnât expose him. She smiled and said, âGive me the information.â
Sun Ye took it and said, âBy the way, Speaking of Summer City, I suddenly recalled something. Thereâs a trading company called Green Peak in Summer City. They want to transition to e-commerce, but they donât have independent research and development capabilities. They suggested buying the algorithm from T.S. Corporation.â
