After dinner, Jiang Ling returned to his room with a gloomy face. When he was in the United States, Su Yuze's Shengshi Company was already well - known. He had planned to work hard after returning, but unexpectedly, upon his return, he heard such news. Taking over the Su Corporation and managing two companies at once, truly remarkable!
He had to admit that it was really amazing!
"Such a nuisance..." Jiang Ling threw the change of clothes in his hand onto the bed.
Jiang Ling still remembered the last time he met Su Yuze in the United States. He had sworn at that time that he would work hard and become powerful enough to rival him.
But now... the gap was too big!
However, he would never give up.
...
Jiang Shuren's intention was for Jiang Ling to rest at home for a few days first and then start to work at Jiang's Company.
Jiang Ling was eager to see Su Rou, so he had been trying to get in touch with Yu Fei indirectly, hoping to invite Su Rou out for a cup of tea.
Yu Fei was a bit annoyed by his persistence. She answered his call and said, "Hello? How long are you going to keep calling?"
"Until you tell me Xiaorou's phone number," Jiang Ling replied with a smile.
"Come on, Rourou already has a man! And she's very busy!" Yu Fei said.
"Busy? Are they together all day long?" Jiang Ling asked curiously.
"Rourou has to stay at home to take care of... Mmm - mmm." Before Yu Fei could finish her sentence, Xiao Yun suddenly covered her mouth. Yu Fei signaled with her eyes, asking what she was doing.
Xiao Yun whispered, "Don't tell him yet. Let him see it for himself later. The shock of seeing should be greater than just hearing about it, right?"
"Huh? You think so..." Yu Fei was a bit skeptical. "Are you sure?"
"Sure, sure. Don't you think it'll be more fun this way?" Xiao Yun said with a grin.
Jiang Ling held the phone and only heard some whispering sounds from the other end. The voices were too low for him to hear clearly. He could only catch words like "shock" and "fun". What on earth were they talking about?
"Hello? Are you still there?" Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask.
There was another round of whispering on the other end before the voice continued, "Yes, I'm here."
"Tell me Xiaorou's phone number. I won't harass her," Jiang Ling said.
Yu Fei rolled her eyes. He was already harassing them like this! "Okay, I'll tell Rourou. I'll arrange for you two to meet."
"Hmm?" Jiang Ling thought for a moment. "So, you're definitely not going to tell me Xiaorou's phone number?" Yu Fei and Xiao Yun were really Su Rou's best friends. They always protected her like this.
"I think it's unnecessary... Well, you'll know later. That's it." With that, Yu Fei hung up the phone.
"Feifei, do you think Jiang Ling will be shocked out of his wits when he sees this?" Xiao Yun asked excitedly.
Yu Fei thought for a while. She couldn't really imagine Jiang Ling being that shocked. "Should we tell Rourou?"
"No, no, no. Don't tell her. It'll be more fun this way, right?" Xiao Yun said with a big smile. She was really looking forward to the show.
...
Two days later, Yu Fei and Xiao Yun visited Su Rou's home. They happened to see Su Rou breastfeeding little Yichen. The maternal glow on her made the scene look so warm.
"Why did you two come suddenly? It's not the weekend today."
"Well..." Xiao Yun and Yu Fei scratched their heads. "We came to invite you out to play."
"Invite me out to play?" Su Rou looked at little Yichen in her arms. "Play what? I still have to take care of the baby. He's only two months old. He'll cry if I leave him at home."
Xiao Yun smiled. "Of course... we'll take him with us!"
"Ah..." Su Rou was a bit confused. "It'll be so inconvenient." Besides, Yichen had gained some weight in the past two months. It would be tiring to carry him out.
"It's okay. You should go out and get some fresh air," Xiao Yun said as she pulled Su Rou towards the door. "Let's go."
Yu Fei also grabbed Su Rou's other arm. "Yeah, yeah. Let's go eat something."
"What about him..." Su Rou wanted to say that she could leave Yichen at home, change her clothes, and then go out.
Xiao Yun took Yichen from Su Rou's arms. "It's okay. We'll take him with us."
"But..." It was really inconvenient!
"I said it's okay. Why have you become so fussy since you became a mom?" Xiao Yun, impatient as she was, was about to drag Su Rou out.
Although Su Rou found it very strange, they wouldn't tell her anything. They just said they were going out to play. She really didn't understand what they were up to.
"Is this the place?"
Xiao Yun took Su Rou to a milk - tea shop they used to frequent. Then she stuffed Yichen back into Su Rou's arms. "Wait here. We'll go out and buy something."
"Ah... okay." Su Rou felt that they were in a hurry today. Before she could react, she was sitting on the seat with the baby in her arms, and they had already left.
"What on earth are they up to?" Su Rou was puzzled. It seemed that they were plotting something. Well, since she was holding the baby, she couldn't go out. She might as well sit here and wait for them. After all, they wouldn't leave her here, right?
The door of the milk - tea shop opened again. Su Rou, who was looking down and playing with little Yichen, didn't notice. It wasn't until a shadow fell in front of her that she heard a voice, "Xiaorou..."
"Ah..." The voice was so familiar.
As soon as Jiang Ling walked in, he saw Su Rou's profile. She was still as delicate and beautiful as in his memory, but... she seemed a bit plumper, which made her even more charming.
However, when he got closer, he saw the baby in Su Rou's arms. "This..." Why was Su Rou holding a baby? Was it a relative's child?
"It's Jiang Ling," Su Rou saw the person coming and then looked down at the baby in her arms. "You mean him? This is my son. His name is Su Yichen."
"Your... son?" Jiang Ling's face twitched. "What..." What was going on? It had only been a short time since they last met, and she already had a son?
"Yes," Su Rou nodded.
"Are you married? When?" Jiang Ling asked anxiously. How come no one had told him!
"Not yet."
"You..." Was she deceived by that man? But... looking at the happy smile on Su Rou's face, it didn't seem like it.
"Isn't my son cute?" Su Rou asked with a smile.
"..."
