If one studies seriously, they can get the hang of things faster than expected.

”That’s enough learning for today. Let’s continue tomorrow.”

”You go ahead and rest first. I’ll read for a bit more.” Although Jiang Chengsi appeared uninterested in academics, he was truly eager to learn business. He put in the same effort as he did with his car hobbies because when he decided to learn, he wanted to do his best.

”Then read for a bit longer...”

Jiang Jinsang didn’t disturb him, just poured him a cup of tea and left.

Jiang Chengsi initially planned to rest around midnight, but at just after ten, Jiang Xiaowai’s crying broke the silence.

His thoughts were instantly disrupted, and just then, Si Qingxiao called, scattering his mind further.

”How did you find the company today?”

”Pretty good, how about you?”

”The same as always, except the weather’s gotten hotter, and I need to make a few qipaos for others.”

”Making for others?”

”Custom orders for money.”

As they chatted, Jiang Chengsi rubbed his forehead and softly asked, ”Did you miss me?”

Si Qingxiao felt as though her chest was suddenly filled with something warm, and she replied with a gentle ”Hmm.”

...

After hanging up, Si Qingxiao held her phone, contemplating texting him but thought he might be tired today and wanted him to rest more.

When a woman starts to feel sorry for a man, it’s truly the end.

To distract herself from thinking about Jiang Chengsi, she went to check on her father.

Si Yushan couldn’t sleep on a soft bed at the moment, so he moved from the master bedroom to the guest room. You Yunzhi stayed by his side, inevitably complaining that he was getting older and still so careless.

Si Yushan could only grumble silently:

”It’s all that brat’s fault!”

He didn’t want to bring up Jiang Chengsi, but the news of him starting his internship at the Jiang Group had already spread in Beijing, so You Yunzhi praised him a bit.

”We just talked about it yesterday, and today the boy took action. It looks like he’s really serious about our Xiaoxiao.”

”It’s only been a day. He needs to keep it up,” Si Yushan snorted coldly.

”Even though the boy isn’t my ideal choice for a son-in-law, Xiaoxiao being happy is what matters, and the Jiang family’s atmosphere is good. Having more people around makes things lively...” You Yunzhi, whose own family had all but disappeared, couldn’t help but envy the thriving Jiang family.

”When Xiaoxiao gets married in the future, let her have more grandchildren, granddaughters for us.”

Si Qingxiao stood by the door, feeling her cheeks heat up with embarrassment, and knocked before entering.

Jiang Chengsi had no idea he was tasked not only with learning finance but also with the heavy responsibility of producing more offspring.

After hanging up, Jiang Chengsi left the study and encountered Jiang Jinsang in the living room, pacing with a child in his arms. The little one seemed to have just cried, his eyes red and his shoulders twitching.

”Why was Mutang crying?”

Jiang Chengsi thought Jiang Jinsang truly had it tough, working hard during the day and having to juggle soothing his wife and child at night without missing a beat.

”I don’t know, he just started crying for no reason. I was afraid he’d disturb you, so I took him downstairs to soothe him.” Even though Jiang Jinsang was seen as an annoying little brother, he wasn’t actually that bad when it came to serious things and didn’t deliberately cause trouble. ”What are you doing down here? Aren’t you reading anymore?”

”Going for a drive to get some air.”

Jiang Jinsang knew he also had a long day, assuming he just wanted to drive and relax a bit, so he didn’t think much of it.

But once he went out...

He didn’t return all night.

This led to the elderly lady being so angry she was pounding her chest the next day, thinking he had ditched the job and run away.

After all...

This was something he really could have done.
