Instead, he smiled and said: ”I have never felt that there's anything wrong with it and I like it even more. Every time I get to think about you waiting for me at that warm house after work, all of my hard work is worth it.”

Chen Jiajia was so moved that she couldn't help but hold her hand. She was so lucky to have met him.

Hee's Father had been waiting at the door.

”Dad.” ”Uncle.” What was more like asking Chen Jiajia.

Hee's Father looked at the two of them coming over with a doting look on his face. ”Come in quickly.”

The three of them sat and chatted for a while. Chen Jiajia was no longer as nervous. The Hee's Father was humorous and funny, but she was not as serious as she thought at the beginning.

”Can you play chess?” The Hee's Father asked Chen Jiajia.

”A little, but not very well.” Chen Jiajia said, embarrassed.

”It doesn't matter, why does that stinky brat usually refuse to eat with me?” Hee's Father laughed heartily. With a helpless expression on his face, he stood up to brew tea.

”Uncle, what happened before …” ”I'm sorry.” Chen Jiajia took a step forward and began to talk about the things that had happened before. What was this exchange she had made for her and Cao Jingyang, it still made Chen Jiajia feel guilty.

Hee's Father shook his head: ”Don't bring up this matter anymore, I am the one thanking you. I can see that her current state is very good, and I think this is all because of you.”

”When I thought about how that brat wasn't that interested in the company, I got quite serious these few months.” Hee's Father felt gratified when he thought about his son's recent condition.

The two of them chatted about other trivial matters for a while before it was time for lunch.

After eating, why did he bring Chen Jiajia to his own room? Chen Jiajia looked around, and realised that the room did not fit the image she knew at all.

Apart from the necessary furniture, there was almost nothing extra, and everything was in uniform white or black. Chen Jiajia could not help but retort, ”Isn't your room too concise?”

He Yi shrugged and said, ”I used to live in the company when I was very busy. I didn't really care about this when I didn't go home.”

Chen Jiajia felt her heart ache. When she was busy, he would even forget to eat.

Why did he take out the photo album from his childhood for Chen Jiajia to see? Chen Jiajia flipped through the photo, looking at the scene before him, she felt a strange feeling.

After looking at the picture again, he saw that it was of a beautiful woman with a gentle smile. It was very similar to what she was currently like. Chen Jiajia asked: ”This is... ”Aunt?”

”Yes.” ”In my memory, mom was a very gentle person. My dad was busy at the time, and I was always accompanied by mom. Later … There was a fire in our house, and my mother was killed in that fire. ”

Chen Jiajia hugged him and comforted him in a soft voice, ”Auntie must be very happy to see you being so outstanding right now.”

What do you mean by smiling, and holding Chen Jiajia's hand: ”She must be happy to see such a good daughter-in-law of yours.”

Before leaving, Hee's Father gave Chen Jiajia an expensive bracelet. Chen Jiajia immediately rejected it: ”Uncle, I can't accept this.”

”Take it. This is what mother said about leaving it for her daughter-in-law all those years ago.” Hee's Father said with a smile.

Chen Jiajia still wanted to refuse, but she received it and gave it to her, ”Jiajia, take it.” Chen Jiajia had no choice but to accept it.

Chen Jiajia put on the bracelet, she looked at what was happening, and coincidentally discovered that she was being watched, and her expression couldn't help but soften. Time seemed to have frozen, continuing this moment of warmth.
