Fate, it seems, is determined before one is even born; no one can blame heaven or earth.
"It looks like you have a plan, you've thought of a way to deal with them. Can you tell me about it?"
"Better not, lest it soil your ears. Coming home with me tonight?"
Zhan Bei Jue suddenly changed the subject, taking her hand and kissing it.
Jiang Nan Fang seized his chin in return.
"Is it coming home with you tonight, or coming home with you every night from now on?"
Zhan Bei Jue smiled, "I can go back with you. Ah Cheng said Ah Biao recently took a liking to a girl, it's time to give him some time off."
"Let's go, we'll go to your place."
The two drove their car to Jiang Nan Fang's residential complex.
Unexpectedly, after parking the car, before they could get out, they saw Ge'er and Tian Tian with another woman, talking to Ah Biao downstairs.
At this hour, why were they taking the children downstairs? And alone, with no sense of security at all.
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but feel a bit agitated and immediately pushed open the car door to get out.
Leaning against the car, he called out lazily.
"Tian Tian, Ge'er, what are you two doing?"
Hearing their father's voice, the two children turned their heads.
Then they said something to the woman and ran over.
With smiles of joy on their faces, they ran quickly, as if expecting Zhan Bei Jue to pick them up.
Even though he wanted to lecture them, Zhan Bei Jue still obliged by crouching down.
He put an arm around each of them, lifting them up simultaneously.
"Why are you not sleeping at this late hour and running down here? And only with Uncle Ah Biao. Where are your brothers?"
Ge'er hugged his neck.
"Brothers are upstairs with Uncle Ah Cheng. Daddy, don't be angry, don't scold Uncle Ah Biao, it was my and Tian Tian's idea."
"What idea? Who is that woman opposite? Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people?"
"She's not a bad person, she's a delivery girl."
"Uncle Ah Biao ordered lunch from her family once before and thought she was quite pretty, so he kept ordering for a month, making the security team uncles sick of it."
"Even so, Uncle Ah Biao didn't dare to confess. Tian Tian and I were anxious, and we heard Uncle Ah Cheng say it was Uncle Ah Biao's birthday today, so we took the initiative to invite the girl over to create an opportunity for them."
"Daddy, Uncle Ah Biao is so old, it must be boring to guard us children every day. Let him date."
Tian Tian also said, "Exactly. Otherwise, as he gets older and Uncle Ah Biao is so awkward, what if he can't find a wife later?"
"Daddy, why don't you go help him too?"
Zhan Bei Jue was amused and exasperated by his daughters' words.
He himself wasn't much better with words, and if he couldn't help himself, how could he help others?
"Isn't it enough to have two strategists like you plotting? Do you want me to go personally?"
"No need. Today, I'll give him a day off. He can date however he wants. We're going upstairs."
But when Ah Biao saw him coming, he had no mood to continue talking.
He quickly came over to greet him, "President Zhan."
Zhan Bei Jue put away his smile, "Who asked you to come over? Go, go chat with her. I'm giving you five days of dating leave. Don't come back until you've won her over."
Ah Biao: "..."
Zhan Bei Jue refused to help, but Jiang Nan Fang couldn't just stand by.
She smiled, patted Ah Biao's arm, and walked towards the girl with him.
Seeing the girl dressed simply, with a delicate appearance, clearly a honest girl from an ordinary family, she couldn't help but feel a good impression.
She took out two plane tickets from her bag, meant for her business trips, and handed them over.
"I'm the children's mommy. I've always heard them talk about the pretty sister, so it's you. You are indeed very beautiful."
"No wonder Ah Biao looks forward to eating your homemade meals every day. Your taste is good."
Ah Biao and the girl's faces instantly turned red.
"Ah Biao has a week's holiday coming up. Our company is offering a free trip for two. He's a really good person. Give him a chance, go out with him and get to know him better."
"This is my phone number. If you feel it's not good, or if he bullies you, call me and complain, and I'll deal with him for you."
Ah Biao stood there blushing for a long time without saying a word of liking, and now not only did someone speak for him, but they also handed him the tickets.
The girl became even more shy.
Jiang Nan Fang saw that she didn't seem to reject Ah Biao, and pushed Ah Biao forward.
"It's getting late, take her back. You haven't been drinking, have you?"
"No, no, I haven't."
"Take Boss Zhan's car. Be careful on the road."
The boss's wife was generous, personally assisting, and even let him drive the boss's Bentley.
When Jiang Nan Fang returned, Zhan Bei Jue said with a laugh.
"What if Ah Biao comes back tomorrow and shows off, and the entire security team asks you for wives, what will you do?"
Jiang Nan Fang looked disdainful.
"If they want them, they can have them. Chen Jiaojiao has a lot of single female employees. At worst, I'll be a professional matchmaker."
"If I match them all up, Zhan Corporation will have a group wedding at the end of the year. It won't be in vain for them to guard us orphans and widows every day."
What did she say?
Zhan Bei Jue suspected he had misheard; Jiang Nan Fang wouldn't use such absurd words.
"Orphans and widows? Did you just say orphans and widows?"
Ge'er pinched Zhan Bei Jue's ear, turning his face towards her.
"Yes, Mommy just said orphans and widows. You never come to see us, and wherever you go, it's just us mother and children. With you, Father, it's no different than not having one. Aren't we orphans and widows?"
"You little brat. Do you even know what orphans and widows mean to be saying it like that?"
"I know. Mommy is complaining that you're like dead. Right, Mommy?"
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't free his hands to discipline her, so he could only assert his authority verbally.
"You, Zhan Jing Ge, are getting more and more audacious. You know it's scolding me and you still follow along. Wait until I deal with you when we get back!"
The group laughed as they went upstairs. When the elevator opened, Ah Cheng and the other security team brothers were standing in the hallway.
Their eyes met, and they quickly greeted Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue acknowledged them and told them to go back and rest. Ah Cheng seemed hesitant to speak.
"What is it? Speak your mind."
Ah Cheng awkwardly reached up and scratched the back of his head.
"There is indeed a small matter."
"Then say it. You know I hate it when people beat around the bush."
"President Zhan, I just called my brother. He said he's not coming back tonight. He said you lent him the car and let him go find that person."
Zhan Bei Jue cast a resentful glance at Jiang Nan Fang, as if to say, "See what you've done."
"And so?"
"Actually, I also have a girl I've liked for a long time, and I never knew how to pursue her..."
Well, Zhan Bei Jue turned and carried the two little girls into the room.
Jiang Nan Fang, you'll have to clean up your own mess.
The two elder brothers had already been taken to the bathroom by Uncle Ah Cheng to wash up. Zhan Bei Jue told the two girls to wash themselves and he would check them afterward.
After they finished washing and drying their hair, he went to clean himself, but Jiang Nan Fang hadn't returned yet.
