After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 357 Time for Two

Mr. Zhao sneered, his tone laced with sarcasm: "You're quite soft-hearted. However, since you put it that way, I can give him another chance. But on the condition that he publicly admits his mistakes from back then and apologizes to my mother."

Ye Huating nodded, her voice tinged with gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Zhao. I will make sure he does it."

Ultimately, accompanied by Ye Huating, Mr. Li publicly admitted his mistakes from years ago and apologized to Mr. Zhao's mother. Mr. Zhao also kept his promise, no longer pursuing Mr. Li's responsibility, and made up for the previous losses.

After the matter was resolved, Ye Huating focused on running her own company, while Mr. Li, under her supervision, gradually reformed himself. Jiang Yichen and I continued our plan, intending to utilize Mr. Li's company's core technology to further expand our business empire.

As Mr. Zhao was leaving, he said to Jiang Yichen, "You've won."

Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and said calmly, "We will. We also hope that you can let go of the past and start anew."

Mr. Zhao nodded, turned and left, his back view showing a hint of relief.

I went home early in the afternoon, and Xiao Huai was as well-behaved as ever.

"Xiao Huai, let Mommy hold you." Seeing Xiao Huai being so well-behaved in Grandma's arms made me happy, and Jiang Yichen felt the same way.

As soon as Grandma brought Xiao Huai over, Jiang Yichen rushed ahead, saying, "Let Daddy hold you first, let Daddy give you a kiss."

As he spoke, he kissed his daughter.

My daughter looked at me with her big, watery eyes, as if to say, "Let Mommy hug me."

Jiang Yichen followed his daughter's gaze. Although he understood what she meant, he still held Xiao Huai in his arms.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Xiao Huai doesn't have matching outfits with us yet."

It's true, none of them have the same clothes. I think it looks like him. "Let's go shopping at the mall tomorrow and relax for a few days."

I nodded. I really should relax these few days; I haven't had a proper rest.

"What do you say, Xiao Huai?" As soon as he finished speaking, he nuzzled Xiao Huai's face.

"Let me hug you."

I took Xiao Huai from his hands, and Xiao Huai suddenly smiled. I teased, "Looks like you still like Mom a little more, right?" "Ah." I responded softly, a blush unconsciously rising on my face.

“Yes, yes, of course, I love your mom too.” He looked at Xiao Huai and said, his tone full of affection, and then reached out and gently put his arm around my waist. His hand was warm and strong, as if silently conveying a sense of security.

That night, Jiang Yichen pulled me into his arms. His arms were wrapped tightly around my shoulders, his chin rested gently on the top of my head, and his breathing was clearly audible in my ear.

"Honey, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you in a while, and I really miss you." His voice was deep and gentle, with a hint of coquetry.

I was almost asleep, but his actions instantly banished all sleepiness. I gently nudged him and pretended to complain, "I miss you too, but we have to go to the mall tomorrow, right? Go to sleep."

After saying that, I pretended to be fast asleep, closing my eyes and deliberately keeping my breathing steady. Unexpectedly, I sensed that Jiang Yichen hadn't fallen asleep immediately, but was quietly watching me. His gaze was intense and focused, as if he wanted to etch my face into his heart.

After a while, his lips gently touched my forehead, then the tip of my nose, and finally landed on my lips. Although it was just a fleeting kiss, it made my heart race. Even though we've been married for so long, I still feel a flutter in my heart every time he does this to me.

The next day, the mall was filled with a dazzling array of goods. Various matching outfits for families were displayed in the windows, vibrant in color and stylish in design. Since Xiao Huai had gotten sick after we took him out last time, this time it was just Jiang Yichen and me choosing clothes.

We strolled hand in hand through the mall. His palms were warm and dry, and he would gently squeeze mine every now and then, as if reminding me of his presence. As we passed a high-end jewelry store, Jiang Yichen suddenly stopped and pulled me inside.

"Let's go, I'll give you a new gift." He looked at me happily, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"You want to give me jewelry?" I looked at him with wide eyes, a little surprised, but mostly sweet.

"Come on, let me choose carefully." He pulled me into the store without saying another word.

The shop assistant greeted them warmly, smiling as they asked, "Sir, Madam, what would you like to see?"

Jiang Yichen waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "Just take a look, any price is fine."

I couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Haha, really? Then buy this store for me."

Unexpectedly, when I looked up at him, he was deep in thought, as if he were really considering whether or not to buy the store. I quickly tugged at his hand and laughed, "Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

He then came to his senses, smiled, and shook his head: "You're always so mischievous."

Turning my head, my gaze was drawn to a particularly exquisite necklace. The necklace had a unique design, with a delicate chain and a pendant set with a dazzling diamond, surrounded by delicate patterns, resembling a blooming flower.

"Do you like this?" Jiang Yichen's voice rang in my ears.

"I like it." I nodded, my eyes still fixed on the necklace, a little hesitant in my heart. After all, such an exquisite necklace must be quite expensive.

"Buy it," he said without hesitation, his tone crisp and decisive.

"Ugh, you just bought it without even looking at the price. You don't care about the money, but I do." I muttered to myself, feeling both touched and a little uneasy.

Unexpectedly, while I was still hesitating, he had already signaled the sales assistant to wrap up the necklace. The sales assistant walked over with a smile, holding an exquisite gift box, and said softly, "This necklace really suits your wife. Let me help you try it on."

Jiang Yichen took my hand and led me to the mirror. The shop assistant carefully placed the necklace around my neck; the cool touch made me tremble slightly. In the mirror, I saw a sparkling necklace around my neck, making me look even more elegant and sophisticated.

Jiang Yichen stood behind me, his hands gently resting on my shoulders. He looked at me through the mirror, his eyes full of admiration and love.

"It's really beautiful," he said softly, a hint of pride in his voice.

I touched the necklace, a warm feeling welling up inside me, and whispered, "Buy it?"

He smiled, leaned down and whispered in my ear, "It's worth any price as long as you like it."

I turned my head and looked into his earnest eyes, and a sweet feeling welled up inside me.

"Here's the thing, those who buy this necklace today will receive an invitation to an auction."

The shop assistant looked at me, and I smiled and replied, "Sure, just send it to me."

"Okay, miss."

After leaving the jewelry store, we continued strolling around the mall. He never let go of my hand, as if afraid I would get lost. We chatted, occasionally stopping to look at the merchandise in the shop windows, enjoying this rare moment alone together.
