Fate, it seemed, was decided before birth, and no one could blame heaven or earth.
"It looks like you have everything planned out, with a method to deal with them. Can you give me a hint?"
"Better not, lest your ears be soiled. Coming home with me tonight?"
Zhan Bei Jue suddenly changed the subject, grabbing her hand and kissing it.
Jiang Nan Fang casually pinched his chin.
"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 fancy to a girl, and it's time to give him some time off."
"Let's go, we'll go to your place."
The two drove to Jiang Nan Fang's residential area.
Unexpectedly, after parking the car, before they could get out, they saw Ge'er and Tian Tian accompanied by a woman, talking with Ah Biao downstairs.
At this hour, why bring the children down? And alone, with no sense of security at all.
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help but get annoyed and immediately pushed open the car door.
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 joyful smiles on their faces, they ran eagerly, as if wanting Zhan Bei Jue to pick them up.
Although he wanted to lecture them, Zhan Bei Jue still obliged by crouching down.
He put an arm around each of them and lifted them up simultaneously.
"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping? And you're 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 the woman across the street? Aren't you afraid of encountering bad people?"
"She's not a bad person, she's a delivery woman."
"Uncle Ah Biao ordered lunch from their place once before and thought she was quite pretty, so he ordered for a month straight, making the security guards 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 that 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 a grown man, and it must be boring to guard us kids all the time. Let him date."
Tian Tian also said, "Exactly. Otherwise, he'll get older and older, and Uncle Ah Biao is so awkward with words. What if he can't find a wife in the future?"
"Daddy, why don't you go help him too?"
Zhan Bei Jue was amused and annoyed by his daughters' words.
He himself wasn't particularly eloquent, so how could he help someone else?
"Aren't two strategists like you two enough? Do you still need me to go in person?"
"No need. He's off today. Let him talk however he wants. We're going upstairs."
But when Ah Biao saw him approaching, he lost all interest in talking.
He hurried over to greet him, "Mr. Zhan."
Zhan Bei Jue put away his smile. "Who told you to come over? Go, go talk to her. I'm giving you five days of dating leave. You're not allowed back until you win her over."
Ah Biao: "..."
Zhan Bei Jue refused to help, but Jiang Nan Fang couldn't stand by and do nothing.
She smiled, patted Ah Biao's arm, and walked with him towards the girl.
Seeing that the girl was plainly dressed and had a delicate appearance, clearly an honest girl from an ordinary family, she felt a liking for her.
She took two plane tickets from her bag and handed them over.
"I'm the children's mommy. I've heard them say 'pretty sister' every day, so you must be her. You are indeed very pretty."
"No wonder Ah Biao looks forward to eating meals delivered by you every day. You have good taste."
Ah Biao and the girl's faces instantly turned red.
"Ah Biao has a week's holiday coming up, and our company is offering a free trip for two. He's a really good person. Give him a chance to take you out and get to know him."
"This is my number. If you find him unsuitable, or if he bullies you, call me and I'll deal with him."
Ah Biao stood in front of her, blushing, for a long time without saying a word of affection. Now, not only did someone speak for him, but they also handed him plane 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."
"Take Mr. Zhan's car. Drive carefully 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 sneered.
"Let them ask. Chen Jiao Jiao has plenty of single female employees. At worst, I'll be a professional matchmaker."
"If I manage to pair them all up, Zhan Corporation will hold a collective wedding at the end of the year. It wouldn't be a waste for them to guard us orphans and widows day in and day out."
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 it's always just us mother and children wherever you go. Having you as a father is no different from not having one, so aren't we orphans and widows?"
"You little brat. Do you even know what orphans and widows means to be saying that?"
"I know. Mommy is complaining that you're as good as dead. Right, Mommy?"
Zhan Bei Jue couldn't reach her to discipline her, so he could only resort to verbal threats.
"You, Zhan Jing Ge, are getting more and more outrageous. You know I'm scolding you but you still chime in. Just you wait until I get back with you!"
The group went upstairs, laughing. The elevator door opened, and Ah Cheng, along with other security team members, was 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 looked like he had something to say but hesitated.
"What is it? Speak your mind."
Ah Cheng uncomfortably 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."
"Mr. Zhan, I just called my brother, and he said he's not coming back tonight. He said you lent him the car and let him go find someone."
Zhan Bei Jue cast a resentful glance at Jiang Nan Fang, as if to say, "See what you've done."
"And so?"
"Actually, I've also liked a girl for a long time, and I never knew how to pursue her..."
Well, Zhan Bei Jue turned and carried the two little girls inside.
Jiang Nan Fang, you'll have to clean up your own mess.
The two elder brothers had already been taken care of by Uncle Ah Cheng and were getting ready to wash up. Zhan Bei Jue told the two girls to wash up themselves, and he would check them afterward.
After washing up and drying their hair, he went to clean himself. Jiang Nan Fang had not yet returned.
