While he was still disoriented, Jiang Nan Fang quickly calculated in her mind. Should she agree to him for now?
As long as she had the chance to be with the children openly, she wouldn't worry about taking them away.
"Deal, but you always go back on your word. I don't trust you."
"Let's write down the agreement in black and white, sign it, and seal it with our fingerprints. As long as you strictly abide by what's written in the agreement, I'll go back with you."
As they spoke, they took out the sticky notes in the room.
Jiang Nan Fang drafted the agreement.
Article 1: She and Zhan Bei Jue will jointly raise the children, and she will have a fifty percent say in all matters concerning the children.
Article 2: She will have at least three visitation times per week, and Zhan Bei Jue shall not obstruct her whenever she wishes.
Article 3: She will not work for Zhan Corporation. Zhan Bei Jue shall not interfere with her personal freedom.
For Zhan Bei Jue, this agreement could be considered a great loss of sovereignty.
However, in order to keep her, Zhan Bei Jue endured the humiliation and agreed.
They signed their names and pressed their handprints with Jiang Nan Fang's lipstick.
Strangely, the two who had broken up yesterday were now reconciled today.
After washing up, Jiang Nan Fang opened the door and walked out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the door, Zhou Jin Xiu, Gong Bei Bei, and A Zhong were still waiting at the door.
Seeing her come out, Zhou Jin Xiu pulled her over.
"You were really in his room! Did he bully you again last night? Why didn't you call me?"
"Don't think I'm afraid of him just because he's my second brother. You should have come to me at a time like this!"
Jiang Nan Fang soothed him.
"Don't get excited, I'm fine. Although I spent the night in his room yesterday, nothing happened. And the two of us have resolved our past misunderstandings."
"Ah?"
"When will your work be finished? We'll go back to Nan Cheng together. I'll tell you the details when we get back."
She was happy to spend a pleasant night with someone else's fiancé.
Coming out with such a casual remark to brush them off? Gong Bei Bei rushed forward.
"I can't believe you're this kind of person! Knowing that he's about to get engaged, you still shamelessly cling to him, how shameless!"
Jiang Nan Fang disdained to argue with her.
Because she knew that Zhan Bei Jue didn't take this woman seriously at all.
"Miss Gong, please speak more politely. It was Mr. Zhan who insisted on keeping me, not me shamelessly clinging to him."
"He's the one who made the mistake. If you want to scold someone, go inside and scold him."
After speaking, she cast a contemptuous glance at her, and Jiang Nan Fang walked to her room door.
Except for the two children and Zhan Bei Jue, everyone else was unhappy about this trip.
On the way back, everyone was lost in their own thoughts, and there was silence all the way.
Upon arriving at Nan Cheng Airport, the two children, one holding their father's hand and the other their mother's, walked ahead.
Jiang Nan Fang decided to confront Zhan Bei Jue about the other two children and invited him to dinner that evening.
"I have some things I want to talk to you about."
However, Zhan Bei Jue had other matters to attend to that day.
He knew that Gong Bei Bei was eager to get an explanation from him.
He had no intention of delaying her, nor did he want to.
Since he had decided not to get engaged to her, he should give her a proper explanation.
Therefore, tonight, he would reserve his time for Mrs. Zhan and Gong Bei Bei.
"Tomorrow. I have something to do today. Let the children stay with you temporarily. I'll pick them up tomorrow morning."
It seemed he really had something important to do, as he wasn't even fighting her for the children.
Jiang Nan Fang happened to have free time to plan her own affairs, which was exactly what she wanted.
Zhan Bei Jue and Gong Bei Bei returned to the Zhan family.
As soon as they entered, Gong Bei Bei started crying aggrievedly.
"Ah Jue, what do you mean? Last night..."
"I was drunk last night. Nothing happened."
"..."
"However, we still cannot get engaged."
"Ah?"
"I'm sorry, Bei Bei. Agreeing to get engaged to you was just an impulse. We don't have any emotional foundation, as you know very well. Getting engaged so carelessly would be unfair to you."
Originally, Gong Bei Bei thought she had caught Zhan Bei Jue red-handed and could threaten him.
But unexpectedly...
He decided not to get engaged, and she didn't even have the slightest room for negotiation. Instead, she had to beg him.
"What do you mean, Ah Jue? Are you regretting it? Not getting engaged? You don't want me anymore?"
Zhan Bei Jue felt a bit guilty.
"Don't say that. It's not that I regret it, but making this decision from the beginning was wrong."
"As I said, I have no feelings for you. If we were to get married just for the sake of marriage, it would be very unfair to you."
"Besides, I have two children. They are not easy to deal with, I know that very well. I don't want you to be wronged either."
"But I'm not wronged!" Gong Bei Bei's tone became flustered with anxiety.
"You don't like me, but I like you! I've liked you since I was little, Ah Jue! I just always felt I wasn't good enough for you and didn't dare to express it."
"We've finally come this far, and everyone in Nan Cheng knows we're getting engaged. The wedding attire and venue are all arranged. Ah Jue, how can you treat me like this?"
As they were talking, Mrs. Zhan came down from upstairs.
"Zhang Ma said you were back, so I came down to see. Why so early? Is the matter settled? Did you have fun?"
After asking, she walked up to them and saw Zhan Bei Jue's expressionless face and Gong Bei Bei's tearful appearance.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight?"
"I asked you to take Bei Bei out to relax and cultivate your relationship, Ah Jue. How can you be so ungentlemanly?"
The matter of breaking off the engagement was indeed handled unethically by Zhan Bei Jue. He knew he would be scolded and was prepared for it.
"I admit I was ungentlemanly. If scolding me can make you feel better, scold me as much as you want."
What?
Mrs. Zhan almost doubted her ears.
"Zhan Bei Jue, what's wrong with you? What do you mean by saying that?"
With her supporter present, Gong Bei Bei became a little more assertive.
"Auntie Zhou, Rui Rui's mother also went with us this time. Not only did she go, but she also shared a room with Ah Jue."
"I don't know what to do now. Ah Jue is protecting her everywhere. Isn't that like slapping me in the face?"
What?
That persistently haunting woman also went?
Not only did she go, but she also...
Mrs. Zhan's hands trembled with anger.
"Zhan Bei Jue, are you out of your mind? Haven't you seen women before, or have you been bewitched by that woman?"
"Don't forget how she abandoned the children back then! Such a trashy person, and you're not only not getting revenge but getting back together with her? Do you want to anger me to death?"
Zhan Bei Jue sat down on the sofa with a "whatever you want" expression.
"Are you done scolding? If not, keep scolding. I said, this is my fault. Please continue."
How did her son become so shameless?
Mrs. Zhan was so angry she felt like spitting blood.
"The news has already been released. Everyone in the world knows you are going to get engaged to Bei Bei. And now you're breaking it off?"
"Impossible! Zhan Bei Jue, unless I die! Otherwise, you will not break off the engagement and let that woman enter the Zhan family!"
"I'm telling you today. You're under her spell and don't want to discipline her, but I do! You'd better not let me see her, or beware of her vixen face!"
Why was she scolding Jiang Nan Fang like this?
Zhan Bei Jue was unhappy.
"The decision to divorce back then was made by both of us. Now that we are back together, it is also a decision made by both of us."
"If you want to scold someone, scold me. Please don't talk about her like that."
"You!"
"Are you finished scolding? If you are, I have something to do and need to go out. The news about canceling the engagement will be released tomorrow. That's all."
