Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

“I remember,” said Nan Chen in a softer and kinder voice, “hello.”

Jiang Zhe was moved to tears. How many years had it been since he last heard his employer speak that softly and nicely? No, wait, it hadn't been years because Nan Chen had never spoken that way before.

In all his years working for Nan Chen, Jiang Zhe had only ever heard Nan Chen use cold and emotionless tones to talk to, yell at, and even diss others, but he had NEVER heard Nan Chen being so sweet.

Was that what the ancient wise men meant when they say that everyone can change for even metallic rods can be turned soft? Seriously, who was the amazing human being on the other side of the line?

“Yay! Uncle Nan Chen remembers me! Hah! I knew it! I'm too cute to be forgotten, but do you remember what you promised me?” asked the owner of the cute voice.

“Remind me,” said Nan Chen in an even sweeter voice.

“You promised you'd take me out for a meal. I waited and waited, but you never called me so I decided to call you.” “I understand you're busy, but I'm busy too! I have to go to school and get up early to make Mommy breakfast. Very busy indeed.”

Nan Chen wondered who the kid's mother was and thought of that woman as despicably lazy for letting a kid make her breakfast.

“So?” Nan Chen asked with a grin.

“So I took some time off today to invite you to have a meal together. I even put on a pretty dress just for you!”

“Today? Today's a little....”

“I knew it! You're going to reject my offer. I'm so sad. CEOs are so difficult. I'm going to invite someone else!” said the child who hadn't even outgrown her baby voice yet.

Nan Chen didn't know how to respond to that. He couldn't explain how important that banquet was to a child, and he didn't need to either.

Nan Chen rarely gave any explanation as to why he did what he did because it didn't matter if it's right or wrong. All it mattered was whether he was happy with it or not. Besides, he believed that nothing was ever right or wrong; it was all just a matter of perspectives.

However, in that particular instance, Nan Chen wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know how to do so.

Should he tell her that this banquet could decide the fate of a massive project? Or that everyone at that banquet was important politicians and business tycoons? Or that refusing to attend that banquet would mean being impolite to a royal family?

None of that mattered to a child because she only cared about why he refused to spend time with her.
