The night was like water, with stars twinkling, as if the entire world was immersed in a serene atmosphere.
It had been a month since the two of them had signed the gift agreement.
Inside the villa, Chi Mu Jiu was fully focused on organizing the Chi family’s press conference plan, ensuring that there would be no mistakes tomorrow.
Suddenly, a video chat request from Du Heng Yan popped up on her computer. She saved the revised plan before moving her mouse to accept the call.
As soon as the video connected, she heard Du Heng Yan feigning anger, saying, “Why is my dear wife still up so late?” His tone was filled with concern and affection; his first words were not about how long it took her to answer but rather a playful reprimand for staying up late to review the plan.
Du Heng Yan, the business world is really exhausting. After tomorrow, I won’t care about these trivial matters anymore!
Chi Mu Jiu lowered her head, her fingers sliding back and forth on the tablet, her voice tinged with a hint of helplessness and fatigue. “So how do you manage to juggle both the business world and the underworld?”
Only then did she look up at the computer screen. Instead of seeing Du Heng Yan’s handsome and cold face, she found a revised version of her plan playing on the screen.
“Du Heng Yan! You’re my savior!”
Chi Mu Jiu glanced at it and immediately recognized that this was the plan she had been revising.
“I’ve already made all the changes for my dear wife,” Du Heng Yan said gently, his voice filled with warmth. “Wishing you great success at tomorrow’s press conference in advance.”
“From what you’re saying, does that mean you won’t be back for tomorrow’s press conference?” Chi Mu Jiu quickly caught onto his words and pressed for more information.
“There are many things here that need to be handed over. Ye Qi has military ties, so there are some matters he can’t take over. I still need some time to let Jin Su and a few other brothers get familiar with the business so I can finally step back completely.”
“Is that so? Alright then.”
When she heard that he wouldn’t be back for a few more days, Chi Mu Jiu's eyes dimmed noticeably.
She quickly added, "Don't be sad, my dear wife. Even though I can't make it to the launch event, I can set off tomorrow night. It's my fault; I haven't sorted everything out while you're carrying our little one. When I get back, I'll kneel on the keyboard and spend quality time with you."
Du Hengyan's tone was sincere. "Well, even though you've only been gone for a day, it feels like we've been apart for years. Now I truly understand what it means to feel like a day apart is like three autumns."
Both of them said the latter part almost in unison, and they couldn't help but laugh at their screens. Their perfect understanding of each other was a tangible expression of their happiness.
"My dear wife, you should go to sleep now. It's late, and I've got a bedtime story ready for you," Du Hengyan said, waving a copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in front of the camera.
"Not bad! But I don't want to hear a bedtime story tonight," she replied.
"Hmm? What can I do for you then?" Du Hengyan furrowed his brows slightly. To fulfill his wife's request, he had worked overtime to memorize every word of "Grimm's Fairy Tales." The main reason was that last time he tried to tell her a story to help her sleep, he ended up getting kicked off the bed for being unskilled.
(Du Boss, it's okay! It's okay! It's normal for pregnant women to have unstable emotions!)
This time, he had practiced thoroughly and even rehearsed several times before confidently offering to tell her a bedtime story.
Now he felt that his little darling was completely unpredictable.
"I want to hear you sing tonight to help me sleep. I just asked the little ones; they want to hear you sing too."
Chimu Jiu suppressed her laughter.
It had been a long time, and it seemed that no one had ever heard Du Hang express his disdain for singing.
The handsome man on the screen paused for a moment.
Singing??
This was yet another difficult challenge.
Could they negotiate?
No, it was one vote against three.
She pouted her little lips, her face full of pride.
For the first time, Chi Mu Jiu saw a look of difficulty and embarrassment on Du Hang's handsome face.
