Chapter 10 Did It on Purpose

• The next morning.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her eyes to see an adorable child lying beside her.
• He was lying obediently in her hug and was sound asleep. His long eyelashes looked as if they were little fans and his plump fair skin looked like it was full of water.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao felt strange.
• She had come across many children within these five years, but no one was like Bao. She felt so close to him. She loved him a lot and even had the urge to keep him by her side.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was amused by her thoughts. If I keep him by my side, I am sure everyone in Jin family will slaughter me.
• She stopped letting her imagination run wild and got out of the bed quietly to prepare breakfast for him.
• However, when she went into the living room, to her surprise, she saw Jin Zhishen was already up with the breakfast already set on the table.
• There was porridge, Hong Kong dim sum, western breakfast...There were so many choices!
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, “This is…?”
• “I bought them back. I saw that there wasn’t much eatery around here and I wasn’t sure what’s your preference so I bought a small portion of everything.”
• Jin Zhishen said calmly. His Cello-like voice was so melodious and pleasant.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao’s spirit was lifted up as she felt pampered, “That is so nice of you. I am not a picky eater. I can eat anything.”
• At the same time, she thought in her mind.
• The big boss Mr. Jin bought breakfast for me? If this got out, they would queue up at the river banks and commit suicide!
• Jin Zhishen looked at her indifferently as he said, “Is that so? That’s good. Go wash up quickly. I will wake Bao up.”
• Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded mindlessly and went to the bathroom.
• When she came out 15 minutes later, Bao had already gotten up and was carried by his father unwillingly.
• Though Jin Zhishen looked angry but he was coaxing Bao patiently.
• When Jiang Xiaoxiao saw this, she felt delighted. I wonder who Bao’s mother was? She was so fortunate to have a cutie like Bao.
• I wonder why wasn’t she together with the father and son?
• Did the Jin’s objected or are there other reasons?
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was lost in her thoughts when Bao saw her. He hurriedly got away from his daddy and ran over to her.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao carried him and asked with a smile, “Did you sleep well last night?”
• “Yes,” Bao said while wrapping his arms around her neck as he looked cheerful.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao patted his head, “Let’s have our breakfast, shall we?”
• “Okay.”
• Bao replied softly. His eyes sparkled and he enjoyed all the food. Soon, he had finished his bowl of porridge.
• Jin Zhishen, who sat beside him, could not believe what he saw.
• In the past, whenever they had a meal at home, he wasn’t so obedient at all. Nothing worked even if the entire family coaxed him.
• Look at him now, so obedient!
• After they had their breakfast, Jiang Xiaoxiao packed her stuff and prepared to go to work.
• Since it was on the way, Jin Zhishen dropped her off somewhere near her office.
• When she was about to get out of the car, Bao hugged her legs as he refused to let her go.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was amused, “Baby, Aunt Xiaoxiao has to go to work. I cannot bring you there. You go back with your daddy first, okay?”
• Bao teared up as sadness was shown on his face. He could not bear to part with Aunt Xiaoxiao.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao almost gave in. However, she was rational enough not to do so.
• Her daily expenses and her mother’s hospitalization bills depended on this job. She looked over at Jin Zhishen feeling troubled, “Mr. Jin…”
• Jin Zhishen carried Bao calmly and told him patiently, “Aunt Xiaoxiao has to work. Don’t hold her up. However, you can take her contact number. When you are free later, you can call her then come over here after she gets off from work.”
• Upon hearing this, Bao’s pitiful look brightened up as he looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with eyes full of hope.
• His gaze looked as though he was asking Jiang Xiaoxiao if he could do that.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao could not bear to reject him and smiled, “Certainly. Let me give you my number.”
• With that, she lowered her head to take a pen and a piece of paper from her bag to write down her contact number.
• Jin Zhishen then gave her his handphone and said, “Just save it on my handphone.”
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised but agreed to it and took the handphone over to save her number in it.
• Bao was elated. He held the handphone as if it was a treasure then said, “Bye bye, Aunt Xiaoxiao. I will definitely call you. You must pick up the call, okay?”
• “Okay. Definitely.”
• Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled and bid the father and son goodbye, then went into the office.
• When she entered the office, everyone in the Project Department stared at her. Their gaze was unusual and it frightened Jiang Xiaoxiao.
• “He Lin, what’s wrong with everyone?”
• She looked puzzled and asked the colleague she was closest to.
• He Lin ran over immediately without a word then she hugged Jiang Xiaoxiao’s arm and said, “Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly, did you know Mr. Jin long ago?”
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was not surprised to hear her question as she replied calmly, “How could that be? That was Mr. Jin. I had never seen him before that.”
• “That’s so strange. Why did he look like he is so fond of you?”
• “Yeah, yeah. He even makes things difficult for Manager Yan because of you.”
• “I am sure you did not know about this? General Manager converted you to a full-time employee and appointed you as the project lead.”
• The rest of the colleagues also came over and joined in the conversation.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was bewildered for a moment but she managed to calm down quickly.
• She had guessed that the company would convert her to a full-time employee but did not expect herself to lead the project.
• Then, He Lin warned her secretly, “Xiaoxiao, you have to be careful of Yan Yifei. She was quite unhappy and even had a quarrel with the General Manager because of this.”
• Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to nod in response when she saw Yan Yifei walking in.
• Everyone dismissed immediately when they saw her.
• Yan Yifei looked extremely gloomy as she threw a stack of documents in front of Jiang Xiaoxiao angrily.
• These were all the proposals for Bao’s birthday party, including important research and analysis that were done previously.
• Yan Yifei used to be solely responsible for the project, hence she was certainly unwilling to hand over the entire project to Jiang Xiaoxiao. She said, “Jiang Xiaoxiao, don’t be too ambitious. Be careful not to take up something you couldn’t even stomach. “
• Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled in return as she refused to be deemed weak, “Certainly. Thank you, Manager Yan, for your reminder. However, I think I can still manage. Don’t worry. “
• Yan Yifei was so agitated, “Sure! Let’s see what magic you can do. Just try not to become a laughing stock.”
• With that, she left decisively without a word.
• Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling.
• This person… Since when was she so nice?
• Judging by her temperament, she would not give up just like that. She would have fought to get the project no matter what.
• Jiang Xiaoxiao subconsciously flipped the stack of documents on her table and saw that important information was all tampered with and several proposals were torn.
