Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 90 Our child will take your surname from now on

Jin Ming rested in the backyard. Now he was not as energetic as before, and he was not willing to go to the front hall to see things and think of the past. Therefore, he often rested alone in the inner room during worship occasions.

He held a black chess piece in his hand and stared at the chessboard on the table without moving.

Jin Yanchen stood still with his hands hanging down. His temperament was like warm jade, and he looked particularly cold and lonely when he was calm.

Jin Ming glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Sit down."

Jin Yanchen sat down on his right, holding a white porcelain cup, his slender fingers lightly pressing on the cup, slowly and calmly removing the dust and foam, waiting for the next words.

Jin Ming couldn't help but look at his son twice. They didn't spend much time together, but he had heard about his son's methods.

He is steady, accurate and ruthless. He always leaves some room for maneuver when doing things and is the best at guessing people's minds without making any noise.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yu's friendship towards him was indeed sincere, and he also sincerely held all hopes for this child. He hoped that he would grow up happily and without worries, and live a carefree life like his mother.

Unfortunately, they all took the wrong path.

"If I have time, I will burn some incense for your mother."

"No need. Mother probably doesn't want to see you." Jin Yanchen lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The top-grade West Lake Longjing was Zhang Yu's favorite tea when he was young.

Later, I settled in Hong Kong, where this tea was hard to buy. I didn’t expect that when I returned to the mainland, I would drink the fatal tea.

Jin Ming was silent for a moment, then he tapped the chessboard beside him and said, "Come and play the next game with me."

This chess set has not been moved for twelve years.

Twelve years ago, Jin's eldest son was in a hurry to leave home, and before leaving, he made an appointment with his father to solve the problem together next time.

Who knew that one day he would die and there would be no solution to this game of chess.

Jin Yanchen played with white pieces. He made a move while deep in thought. The chess game was broken and the long-standing stalemate was broken.

Just like that, Jin Yanchen threw down the chess piece cleanly. He heard faint cries coming from the front hall, and he frowned subconsciously.

Jin Ming did not expect his moves to be so sharp and swift. He immediately lost interest in the game. He looked up at Jin Yanchen for a long time and suddenly said, "I plan to hand over the company to you."

"But... cough cough..." He coughed violently, and after a while he couldn't catch his breath. He hurriedly took the teacup at hand and drank it down. "I don't want you to have the bad fate like your mother and I. I think it's better to get married first and then start a career."

"I have been looking for you for a long time in Kyoto and have picked out two suitable ones. Take a look and see which one you like. If you decide on one soon, I will withdraw."

Jin Ming stuffed two photos over.

Jin Yanchen looked down and saw two color photos. One had a red background and the girl looked gentle and pretty, the type that the head of the family liked very much. The other had round eyes that looked like crescents when she smiled and had very fair skin.

However, for some reason, when looking at these two photos, Jin Yanchen unconsciously pictured another face in his mind.

It was a face filled with alienation and coldness, not flattering enough, not smooth enough, but she would snuggle in his arms and act coquettishly like a child.

If you must put the future in front of you.

At this moment, Jin Yanchen seemed to have only this one candidate in his mind.

He stuffed the two photos back on the table, the aroma of tea wafting in the air, his eyes still clear, looking at Jin Ming steadily. Jin Ming smiled, not surprised by his attitude, an experienced businessman who had experienced ups and downs for a long time, and continued to throw out the next hook without rushing or slowing down.

"I heard from Xiaozhi a few days ago that you are going abroad? The management of the company will be handed over to you, and you can develop it however you want."

"As for that little lover you like, if you like him, you can take him out with you. I have no objection to raising him for a few years."

There was a matter-of-fact contempt in Le Changming's words. In his opinion, marriage and love should be separated. In a family like theirs, marriage is destined to be tied together by conflicts of interest.

Nowadays, several political regimes in Kyoto are changing, and the younger generation is fighting for power openly or secretly. If they don’t move forward, they will be eliminated.

Jin Yanchen put down the teacup and sneered.

"Do you really need a marriage? Do you really need to use women to gain power?"

Jin Ming smiled and spread his hands, "But Yanchen, you have to admit that this is how the world works."

After coming out of the ancestral home, Jin Yanchen felt like there was something stuck in his heart.

It's another heavy smog day in Kyoto today. The air seems to contain sand and gravel, and one can't stop coughing just by breathing.

Cheng Ning was waiting for him by the car. Seeing that he was coughing violently, he handed him two mints.

Jin Yanchen took a glance and saw that it was a brand that fashionable little girls liked to eat, so he stuffed it into his coat pocket.

The heater in the car was on high. Jin Yanchen raised his hand and opened half of the window. The wind from Kyoto hit his face like a knife, and he remembered the time when he first arrived.

At that time, Zhang Jing went through a lot of trouble to find out about Jin Ming through others. She sold all her assets and returned to Beijing from Hong Kong, but was tricked by Jin Ming into living in his villa in the eastern suburbs.

Zhang Yu didn't like the weather when she first arrived, but she still held his hand and said, "It's good that the family can be reunited."

That was the time when Jin Yanchen had the least say. His father didn't need him, and his family didn't need him.

His mother was branded as a third party and looked at the outsider sitting in the main seat of the ancestral home in a frenzy.

Jin Yanchen felt a throbbing pain in his head. He put his hand on his forehead and said hoarsely to Cheng Ning who was driving in front, "Song Ning, I didn't climb high enough."

Cheng Ning glanced at him and said: "No matter how high a person reaches, there will always be times when he is unable to do what he wants."

The car arrived at the eastern suburbs at this time, and Jian Yi was standing outside the door wrapped in a cashmere shawl.

She received a text message from Cheng Ning saying that Jin Yanchen had a severe headache tonight and seemed to be in a bad mood. She was anxious, so she simply went downstairs and waited at the door.

Jin Yanchen pushed the door open and saw her thin figure standing in front of the door, her long neck slightly leaning forward, looking up.

His mind moved slightly, and he took off his coat and wrapped her in it.

Warmth instantly enveloped her whole body. Before Jian Yi could open her mouth to speak, she felt the rich fragrance of agarwood filling her entire body. Jin Yanchen leaned down, gently resting his head on her shoulder, and hugged her with a very affectionate gesture.

They embraced each other quietly in the dark night.

Until Jin Yanchen leaned over to her ear and said, "Xiaoyi, our child will have your last name from now on."
