When Jiang Mo Chen knocked on the door, Yan Qing Chi was just eating with Qiqi.
Jiang Mo Chen came in and saw Qiqi looking at him with delight.
The child called him, “Father.”

Jiang Mo Chen answered him, walking over and asking, “Did Qiqi miss Father?”

“I did.” Qiqi said sweetly.

“Father missed you too,” he reached out and pinched Qiqi’s face, “I’ll take you out to play in a bit.”

Qiqi’s eyes instantly lit up, “Really?”

“Really.”

“Don’t you have scenes to film in the afternoon?” Yan Qing Chi asked.

“Producer Zhang knows my sister.
Since she came, he urged Director Wang to give me a half-day break.
They wouldn’t accept it even if I said there was no need, so I could only agree to it.” Jiang Mo Chen said, helpless.

Yan Qing Chi nodded, “Although, I saw that the others don’t seem to know Older Sister.”

“Yes,” Jiang Mo Chen said, “Even though the company has basically been managed by my older sister for years now, my older sister has a low-profile personality, so we didn’t make a public announcement about it.
The outside world has never heard her name before; they all believe that it’s under my dad’s control.”

“No wonder there wasn’t anyone who guessed your background despite the similarity of your names.
So it was like that.
And here I had thought that Older Sister had long been a figure on the cover page of the economic magazines.”

“She doesn’t like to stand out in that way.
This kind of spotlight usually belongs to my dad.
Oh, right, where’s Older Sister?”

“Older Sister said that she was a little tired, and went to rest.”

Jiang Mo Chen inclined his head.
He took out his phone and called Jiang Xing Chen.
Not long afterwards, Yan Qing Chi’s door sounded again.
Yan Qing Chi looked towards Jiang Mo Chen, pointed in the direction of the door, and queried, “Older Sister?”

Jiang Mo Chen nodded, “Let’s go.
Since it’s noon, let’s go eat together.”

Yan Qing Chi looked at the sweets on the table that hadn’t been eaten yet, and then at Qiqi, who was propping his cheek and listening attentively to them talk, “Qiqi, are you still able to eat?”

Qiqi was somewhat troubled.
He rubbed his tummy.

Jiang Mo Chen also touched it, “It’s alright, it’s not sticking out a lot.
You can still eat a little.”

Qiqi pondered over it and felt that he was correct.
Thus, he nodded his head strongly, “En, I can still eat a little.”

When he heard that, Yan Qing Chi chuckled and swiped his nose.

They left the film crew and ate a meal outside together.
Jiang Mo Chen wanted to take Qiqi out to play, but he didn’t know where was a fun place to go in this area.
After discussing with Yan Qing Chi, he ended up choosing to take Qiqi to watch an animated film that was recently released and was very popular.

Jiang Mo Chen chose a relatively far cinema and rented out a theater1.

Jiang Xing Chen had something come up that she needed to handle, so she did not plan to go with them.
She only said, “You family of three enjoy yourselves.
I’ll take this time to handle some business.”

” ”

“You’ve come to visit me at work, and you’re still going to work?” Jiang Mo Chen looked at her, “Rest for a while.”

Jiang Xing Chen smiled, “I came to visit you at work purely for Qiqi’s sake.
Otherwise, I would work at home.
Alright, you three go have fun.
Don’t worry about me.”

Jiang Mo Chen was helpless, “Okay then.”

As usual, Wang Xiang Hai was the one who drove.
Jiang Mo Chen left Liu Ai to Jiang Xing Chen and told Liu Ai to be a little quick-witted.
Liu Ai had just learned from Wang Xiang Hai that this was the real steersman of the entire Jiang Corporation.
He was instantly scared to the point that he walked with the same arm and foot at a time.
He didn’t dare smile, deathly afraid that the big boss would be displeased with him and assign him away from Jiang Mo Chen’s side.

Seeing him so constrained, Jiang Xing Chen didn’t say anything.
She merely smiled and tipped her chin up at Jiang Mo Chen, indicating that he could leave.

Only then did Jiang Mo Chen leave with Yan Qing Chi and Qiqi.

Yan Qing Chi exhaled, unwittingly relaxing.
He had thought that on this sudden visit, Jiang Xing Chen would talk to him about their married life or test him; yet nothing of the sort had happened.
For some reason, Yan Qing Chi was relieved.
He felt that it was rather good like this.

“You’re afraid of my older sister?” Jiang Mo Chen asked when he noticed the other man relax.

Yan Qing Chi turned to look at him, “I’m not afraid, per se.
Even if I was, I would be afraid that she didn’t like me.”

“Afraid that she wouldn’t like you and would give you ten million yuan to leave me?”

As soon as he heard that, Yan Qing Chi smiled, “I know how to respond to this problem.
Wei Lan taught me the standard answer before.2 I’ll ask her, ‘Is your younger brother only worth ten million (yuan)?’ And then I’ll have her tack on another zero for me.”

Jiang Mo Chen replied, “…So, I’m only worth a hundred million?”

“What are you thinking? Once I got the hundred million, I’d hand it over to you, and then have you deal with your older sister.”

“That’s more like it.
But you don’t have to worry.
My older sister is actually very good-tempered to insiders.
It’s fine as long as I like you.”

Yan Qing Chi raised an eyebrow, “Oh, then do you like me?”

Jiang Mo Chen: “…”

Yan Qing Chi smiled, “Do you?”

Qiqi, seeing that Yan Qing Chi was looking at Jiang Mo Chen, also looked up at Jiang Mo Chen.
Jiang Mo Chen was at a loss for words.
He could only cough and lower his head to talk to Qiqi.

Yan Qing Chi was quite surprised.
Up to now, Jiang Mo Chen had been both honest and dishonest3 with him.
He was very honest about things, yet he also habitually denied his feelings.
However, this time he actually didn’t deny it.
Yan Qing Chi thought to himself, “He couldn’t have really developed feelings for me, did he?” He was rather curious, but he had no intentions on pursuing the question.
After all, based on his understanding of Jiang Mo Chen, if he persisted in asking, the latter was bound to deny it.

Yan Qing Chi smiled.
He didn’t know why, but he was quite happy.

Meanwhile, Jiang Mo Chen wasn’t as happy.
How would he know that Yan Qing Chi would suddenly ask him that, much less that he (JMC) would be stunned for a moment instead of blurting out that he didn’t like him? Jiang Mo Chen concluded that Qiqi was the cause of his reaction.
After all, Qiqi was still sitting in between them.
How could he say that he didn’t like Yan Qing Chi in front of Qiqi? That was why he didn’t answer the question.

He looked at the little squirt in his arms and thought to himself, “That must be why.”

Poor Qiqi, bearing such a large pot4 without even knowing what had happened.

When they arrived at the entrance to the cinema, Jiang Mo Chen had Wang Xiang Hai retrieve the movie tickets.
When it was near the screening time, he wore his hat, mask, and glasses, and prepared to enter the cinema.
Yet, the moment he stepped out of the car door, Jiang Mo Chen suddenly had a plan.
He removed his glasses and talked to Wang Xiang Hai for a bit.
Then, he told Qiqi, “Later, you come in with your Uncle Wang.
Your daddy and I will be waiting for you in the cinema.”

Qiqi didn’t really understand, “What’s a ‘cinema’?”

Jiang Mo Chen chuckled and stroked his hair, “Your Uncle Wang knows.
He’ll bring you in later.”

Qiqi nodded, “En, en.”

Yan Qing Chi was puzzled, “What are you doing?”

“Helping you increase your popularity.”

“Huh?”

“Come on, the two of us will go in first.”

Yan Qing Chi was completely bewildered.
Yet, Wang Xiang Hai, who heard Jiang Mo Chen and Qiqi’s conversation at the side, was even more bewildered.
What did his boss just say? ‘Your daddy and I’? This ‘daddy’ was…Yan Qing Chi?

Wang Xiang Hai felt that he had been struck with a blow.
It was already known that Qiqi was his boss’s son.
If Qiqi’s daddy was Yan Qing Chi, then what kind of relationship did his boss and Yan Qing Chi have? Originally, he had thought that these two were merely mutually ambiguous.
Who would have thought that they were actually already a couple?! Wang Xiang Hai instantly reckoned that he knew too much.
He felt that he really needed to go look at the great ocean, let himself face the ocean, experience the blossoming of flowers in the spring, and calm himself.5

Qiqi cocked his head and looked at him, “Uncle?”

“Yes, Little Young Master, what’s wrong?”

“Are we not going with them?”

At this moment, Wang Xiang Hai recalled what Jiang Mo Chen had told him to do earlier.
So that was why his boss did so much for Yan Qing Chi, even helping the latter gain a brief wave of publicity when they came out to watch a movie.
Wang Xian Hai couldn’t help being deeply moved.
It seemed that when he returned, he had to let Little Liu know that he (Liu) didn’t need to treat Yan Qing Chi with warmth as gentle as a spring breeze; rather, he should be as passionate as the scorching sun!6 He had to take the initiative to treat him better!

Yan Qing Chi followed Jiang Mo Chen into the cinema.
Jiang Mo Chen proactively went to the ticket machine and retrieved tickets.
Yan Qing Chi was bemused, “Didn’t you just send Little Wang to retrieve tickets?”

“I rented out the place.
I only had him retrieve any four tickets.
The rest hadn’t been retrieved.
So it works out for me to just retrieve some tickets 7.” He glanced at Yan Qing Chi, “We’re putting on a show, so naturally we have to do the whole thing.”

Now Yan Qing Chi was even more bemused, “What show?”

Jiang Mo Chen glanced at the cinema that was sparse in moviegoers, “Do you think someone will recognize me?”

Yan Qing Chi was nonplussed by his question, “You want people to recognize you?”

“Not just recognize me, it would be better if they took a picture and posted it on Weibo.”

Yan Qing Chi pondered over what he said and finally understood, “You want someone to take a picture of us.
And then your fans will see it and think that we have a very good relationship, thereby paying more attention to me.”

“You’re a quick study.”8

“You truly have gone to a lot of trouble.”9

Jiang Mo Chen was speechless, “Who am I doing this for? Do you think that just anyone can receive this kind of treatment?”

Yan Qing Chi smiled, nearly asking him, “So do you like me or not?” However, at the end of the day, he knew Jiang Mo Chen’s personality.
He knew that since Jiang Mo Chen did indeed harbor some favorable feelings for him presently, the latter wouldn’t admit it.
He had to wait till the other man had completely fallen for him, and realized that he had fallen for him.
At that time, Jiang Mo Chen would admit how he felt.

When Yan Qing Chi thought of this, he was unwittingly rather expectant.
After all, he possessed the voice recording of Jiang Mo Chen’s cocksure warning for Yan Qing Chi ‘not to like him, because he (JMC) would absolutely not fall for him’ in the car that time10.
When that time (when JMC admitted his feelings) came, he would pull it out in front of Jiang Mo Chen and let the other man know what was called “slapping one’s own face”!

‘I, Jiang Mo Chen, will not like you even if I died or jumped off from here.
You better not like me! ——I was wrong, Daddy.
I was young, and didn’t know any better.
Can you see if I am kneeling properly?’11

Once Yan Qing Chi imagined that scene, he felt that it was truly a sight to anticipate.
Moreover, he was quite eager to give it a try.
Nevertheless, he restrained himself, playing along with the present Jiang Mo Chen and saying, “For me, for me.”

“So, what should you say?”

“So that I can bring even more profit to the company, Boss, this is what you ought to do.”

Jiang Mo Chen, who had completely expected him to thank him, was abruptly stifled by this response, “…Shut up, you!”

The author has something to say:

Qiqi: I’m only five years old, but I’m so tired; I have to help my father carry the pot.
My father’s heart really won’t hurt at all!

Jiang Mo Chen: Why do you have that voice recording? Just why the heck do you have such a dissolute fondness for voice recordings?12 When did you record it?!

Yan Qing Chi: I, Yan Qing Chi, am a little voice recording specialist!13

Footnotes

I interpreted this as when you go to the movie theater and they tell you which movie theater # is showing what movie on your ticket.
So for example, my ticket for the screening of Movie A at 2pm would tell me that I should go to #5 to watch it.
So I thought of it as JMC renting out that kind of numbered theater.Refer to Chapter 18.口不对心的 – lit.
mouth does not match to heart; this meant that what he said was not what he truly felt/thought.pot = blameRefer to Chapter 35 Part 2‘s footnotes #11 and #12.Refer to Chapter 35 Part 2.刚好我就顺手一取JMC actually says “孺子可教” (which was mentioned before in Chapter 44, meaning that “this child can be taught” or “this young person is promising”).
Alternatively, I might have translated this as “exactly” or “correct”.In other words, “what a lot of work”.Refer to Chapter 9.
我江默宸就是死，从这里跳下去，也不会喜欢你，你最好不要喜欢我！——爸爸我错了，是我年少轻狂，你看我跪的标准吗？

The first part is a reference to the origin story of “So fragrant”, which was mentioned in Chapter 39.
To be more specific, there was this city kid who went to the countryside in a reality show.
He looked down on the conditions and food in the countryside, and declared that “I, [name], would rather starve to death, die in the wilderness, or jump from here than eat your food.” Hours later, the starving kid could only eat at one of the villager’s houses.
As he ate, he tearfully remarked, “So fragrant.” With the juxtaposition made with his previous declaration, it was hilarious (translated explanation from this site).
The second half is another reference to when one admitted their wrongs.
If someone is of a higher position or more powerful than you, you might acknowledge them by calling them “Daddy” and sometimes even kneeling down before them.
Often, when one admits their wrongs or is punished, they would grovel.
This also applies when admitting one’s wrongs for affronting someone more powerful than them while calling the other “Daddy”; hence, the question YQC imagined JMC asking as he (JMC) groveled.
Jiang Mo Chen had said “你怎么这一生放荡不羁爱录音啊!” 放荡不羁 (fàngdàngbùjī) – wanton and unrestrained (idiom); dissolute (MDBG).
