Chapter 1173 - 17: Best Friends Forever

"Is it mainly because no one is good enough for him? He doesn’t think highly of them?" Huang Shiyuan asked curiously.

"When it comes to being a match, who is truly good enough?" Han Ting muttered quietly.

Tianmiao looked at her son’s back and, for some reason, saw a hint of desolation in his silhouette.

Well, digging your own grave must not feel good.

Tianmiao slowly walked forward.

Huang Shiyuan, puzzled, asked, "Hey, does Tianmiao know Chen Jinglou?"

"It’s possible she does. Maybe they even have a deep connection; otherwise, how did she get us those spots? Honestly, I’m not sure about Tianmiao’s family background," Han Ting analyzed.

"Let’s wait here for a while. Tianmiao might be going to catch up with him," Huang Shiyuan suggested.

Han Ting nodded, and the two stood at a distance, waiting for Tianmiao to greet Chen Jinglou.

Tianmiao walked up to Chen Jinglou and smiled, "Hello."

Chen Jinglou only turned slightly to glance at Tianmiao, with a hint of amazement briefly flashing in his eyes before fading away, then said indifferently, "Here to join the excavation work? Hurry up and get started." His tone was cold and distant. Obviously, Chen Jinglou saw Tianmiao as just another pretty face trying to grab his attention. However, she was indeed the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

"Prince, how does it feel to dig your own tomb?" Suddenly, Tianmiao said with a smile.

Chen Jinglou’s body stiffened, his eyes filled with disbelief as he mechanically and slowly turned to look at Tianmiao.

"M-mother...?" Chen Jinglou’s lips trembled, struggling to utter the words.

"You once said that the food in my palace was the best and that you’d remember it in your next life. Do you still remember now?" Tianmiao smiled as she looked at the flustered Chen Jinglou and repeated the words he had said at the end of his life.

"Mother! Mother! It’s really you!" Chen Jinglou couldn’t hold back anymore, rushed over, and hugged Tianmiao tightly, "I miss you so much, I miss you..." As he spoke, Chen Jinglou’s voice started to choke.

"Alright, don’t cry. You’re a grown-up, crying like this will make people laugh," Tianmiao gently patted Chen Jinglou’s back, then added, "If you must cry, let’s go home and cry behind closed doors."

Chen Jinglou almost broke into laughter; it’s mother, truly his mother’s style!

From afar, Han Ting and Huang Shiyuan watched as Chen Jinglou suddenly hugged Tianmiao, both of them wide-eyed.

"Could it be that Tianmiao is the BOSS’s fiancée?" Huang Shiyuan began to fantasize.

"No way, I haven’t heard of it. But it’s possible. A big family like theirs would keep it secret; no one would know," Han Ting said.

They saw Tianmiao waving them over, exchanged glances, and cautiously approached.

"This is my nephew, just saying hello. Jinglou, these are my two close friends, Han Ting and Huang Shiyuan," Tianmiao smiled and said, leaving Han Ting and Huang Shiyuan almost in shock.

Nephew?

Nephew?!

The Blue Sky Group’s Chen BOSS is Tianmiao’s nephew?

"Hello, I’m Chen Jinglou," Chen Jinglou gave a polite and courteous smile, "Thank you for taking care of my aunt."

Aunt, nephew?!

It’s not at all the fiancée relationship they imagined!

They’re worlds apart! As distant as Mars and Earth.

The unreachable Chen BOSS is of a lower generation than Tianmiao, and watching Tianmiao gaze lovingly at Chen BOSS, Han Ting and Huang Shiyuan felt the world was too surreal.
