Chasing His Ex: The Tycoon's Hidden Twins

Of course, Lu Fan treated Sifan’s sister well, which would at least guarantee her a happier life down the road.

Jiang Sifan naturally had no objections to that.

It was just that he couldn’t forgive Lu Fan yet.

As the saying goes, they agreed to stay out of each other’s way.

Right now, Jiang Sifan just wanted to focus all his energy on growing Starry Studio.

They had just lost over ten stores from their list of partners.

But he wasn’t discouraged by it.

After all, five shops had solidly renewed their contracts.

As long as they provided excellent service to these five shops, their business would only grow.

Besides, trying to bite off more than they could chew would just burn them out.

Jiang Sifan didn’t mind how hard or tiring the work was for him.

He was just worried Wen Wan wouldn’t be able to handle it.

And after overhearing her conversation with her mother tonight, he had a feeling something was wrong.

But since he was an outsider, it wasn’t his place to ask about Wen Wan’s family affairs.

So all he could do was quietly keep an eye on the situation.

「The next morning.」

As promised, Jiang Sifan arrived downstairs at He Lingyi’s apartment building to wait for her.

A moment later, he felt a tap on his shoulder.

Jiang Sifan turned to see He Lingyi looking at him, her face wreathed in a smile.

The weather happened to be lovely, and He Lingyi was wearing a pale yellow dress that revealed her slender, fair wrists.

Her smile wasn’t the least bit forced; it was the kind of genuine joy that radiated from her very eyes. The corners of her mouth curved up just so, revealing two small dimples that settled softly into her cheeks, as if holding sweet honey.

The tip of her nose was small and pert, with a hint of a natural blush. In the sunlight, you could see the fine peach fuzz on its tip, exuding a charm unique to a young girl.

Her skin was translucently fair, warmed by the sun to a soft, healthy glow. It seemed to be enveloped in a gentle light, utterly flawless.

Her long hair danced in the breeze, a few stray strands brushing against her cheek. They caught the sunlight with a faint sheen, swaying gently as she smiled.

Simply put, she radiated a youthful, girlish aura.

Jiang Sifan noted that even though He Lingyi was a high school senior, there wasn’t much of an age gap between her and a college freshman.

But the feeling of raw youth she exuded was completely different from that of a college student.

Everyone always said college life was great.

But Jiang Sifan thought high school was better.

Looking back on his high school days, even with all the hardship, was still a bittersweet pleasure.

Seeing Jiang Sifan staring at her, seemingly lost in thought, He Lingyi teased, "What do you think? Do I look pretty today?"

Jiang Sifan chuckled. "You do. You look less tired from studying today and more like the young woman you are."

"What do you mean? I *am* a young woman," He Lingyi said with a smile, raising an eyebrow.

She urged Jiang Sifan, "Let’s hurry to the amusement park. I want to spend the whole day there."

"Okay," Jiang Sifan said, pointing out, "There’s a bus stop right ahead. It’s only a twenty-minute ride to the park."

"Oh, why take the bus? Let’s just get a ride-share. I’ll call it." He Lingyi knew Jiang Sifan usually took the bus back to school, so she figured he was pretty frugal. She added, "My mom gave me plenty of spending money today, so don’t you dare spend anything on me, or I’ll get mad." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hearing this, Jiang Sifan could only nod, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Well, since you put it that way, I definitely won’t spend any money. But you’ll have to treat your teacher to a popsicle later."

"Okay! I’ll treat you to ice cream!" He Lingyi said excitedly. "I can finally eat ice cream again!"

Her words made Jiang Sifan freeze for a second. He then cleared his throat as it dawned on him.

’No wonder she was so insistent on going to the amusement park today.’

’Her time of the month must have just ended.’

The two of them soon got into the ride-share, which then headed toward the amusement park.

During the ride, He Lingyi was very excited, even taking out a mirror to touch up her makeup.

Seeing this, Jiang Sifan asked, "How long has it been since you’ve been out to have fun?"

"It’s been a long, long, long time!" He Lingyi said, her repetition emphasizing how hard she had been working lately.

"Alright, you can play to your heart’s content today," Jiang Sifan chuckled.

Hearing this, He Lingyi grew even more excited.

She began to look forward to the day ahead.

Soon, they arrived at the amusement park.

Although He Lingyi had insisted she would cover all of today’s expenses...

...Jiang Sifan went ahead and bought the entrance tickets himself.

His reasoning was, "What kind of guy lets a girl pay for amusement park tickets? Besides, I’m your teacher. How can I let my student pay?"

He Lingyi grew anxious. "No way! The tickets are two or three hundred yuan combined. How much do you even make for one tutoring session? I can’t let you spend both your time and your money."

As she spoke, she transferred 333 yuan to Jiang Sifan.

Faced with such a considerate girl, Jiang Sifan ultimately accepted the money.

’He could tell that He Lingyi was different from other girls.’

’At least, she was the same type of person as Wen Wan.’

’They both knew how to show gratitude and repay kindness.’

"Alright, I’ve accepted the money. Let’s go in and have fun," Jiang Sifan gestured.

He Lingyi immediately linked her arm with his, exclaiming excitedly, "Let’s go, let’s go! We’re going into the amusement park!"

’Jiang Sifan glanced over. Damn, this girl really wasn’t treating him like a stranger at all.’

’Her cleavage was practically pressing against his elbow.’

’Even though she wasn’t in college yet, her figure was just as developed as any college girl’s.’
