C173 (2/2)
The person on the other end of the phone was truly pleased by her confusion. Her laughter had not yet died down, yet the mocking laughter continued, ”Don't tell me you forgot. If you do, then I will really make them stew some soup for your brain to drink.”
”Yeah, it's time to make up for it. My mind is full of flour and water, or else I wouldn't have gotten on your pirate ship.”
She leisurely gave the person on the other end of the phone a huge punch, successfully stopping the mocking laughter.
”Little Devil, you've learned bad.” Mr Xiao scolded her like a spoiled child, completely disregarding his status and attitude.
Shen Liangxia slightly sighed, ”The nearer the red, the darker the black. I actually want to learn it well, but the people who benefit the land are too important.”
After the second combo, Teacher Xiao had no choice but to cover his chest and say, ”My heart is very hurt. Liangxia, I urgently need a beautiful doctor to treat me. What do you think we should do?”
The old man shamelessly pretended to be pitiful on the phone, deliberately trying to tease Shen LianXia to say a few more words. The little woman on the other end of the phone did not disappoint him, and her slow voice sounded again, ”What kind of beautiful doctor would you like, with an angel's face and long legs and slender waist?”
With such a serious tone, the corner of Xiao Bu Dian's lips curled up into a smile, ”As for the standard, I'll just follow what you've done.”
A knock on the door sounded out as the Xiao family's branch office entered with a stack of documents in their hands. Just as they wanted to say something, Xiao Yan signalled to stop them and continued teasing the person on the phone.
”What should we do, beautiful doctor? Do you want to come personally?”
”My medical fees are very expensive. You can't afford them.”
”Tell me how much it can cost.” Mr Xiao's tone was very arrogant: ”I don't think I can't pay the medical fee.”
Shen Liangxia, who was on the other end of the phone, finally lost. She let out a long sigh and was completely speechless.
The big boss was too affectionate. This kind of flirting was too different from usual. Even the usually calm and composed CFO couldn't help but shiver. He shook off the goosebumps on the ground.
”What are you doing?”
The conversation finally returned to normal. In the end, Mr Xiao was still thinking about his little wife and was worried that she was alone at home. Even though there was a housekeeper and a servant, he still felt that he should stay by her side.
It had only been less than two hours since they parted, but Xiao Yan was still unaware of the conflict between Shen Liangxia's eyes and his own.
”Ye-zi, you're here. Sit here for a while before leaving. Also, Uncle, I really am fine. You don't need to worry about me. Just focus on doing what you need to do.”
Mister Xiao naturally understood the logic, but even if he couldn't resist thinking about it in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it.
Since Teacher Xiao didn't say anything, Shen Liangxia understood. Her tone became a lot more gentle, ”Be good and do your job well. I'll wait for you to come back for lunch.”
Mister Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She actually treated him like a child and coaxed him. However, his slow and gentle tone really made people enjoy him.
”Sure, wait for me to go back and eat.” Ever since Shen Liangxia disappeared, this was the first time the two of them had felt such warmth. Previously, when Shen Liangxia had not recovered her memories, the two of them had experienced such a moment, but that time was after all, different from the past. Even though he had always treated Shen Liangxia as his, regardless of whether it was at that time or now, he had always treated her as his, but at that time, Shen Liangxia's heart was still filled with uncertainty.
Right now, she was Shen Liangxia. She was only Shen Liangxia, his wife, and the mother of his children. How could the simplest of identities make him unhappy?
After experiencing several months of cold winter, at this moment, the truly warm spring flowers bloomed in the world of the Xiao Banquet.
What was this thing standing in front of him?
Mr Xiao's gaze fell on the CFO, then looked at the document in front of him and coldly said, ”Tell me, what's the situation?”
A man with a salary of over a million a year had to ask the CFO with a stupefied look on his face: ”Boss, you change your face so fast, it's easy for you to be without friends, do you know that?”
In the morning, Xiao Yan called her twice. When he called her again, Shen Liangxia was upstairs surfing the internet. After he hung up the phone, her face looked a little unsightly.
The butler uncle had also worried himself to death as he followed behind her, talking about how his life hadn't been good for half a year. Thus, now that young miss Liangxia had returned, he would naturally be very careful.
He avoided the topic of Shen Liangxia's grandmother's death as much as possible and kindly added points to his male host.
Shen Liangxia just quietly listened without expressing her opinion, and did not completely avoid the topic. The butler Uncle was tactful and did not drag her down to talk about this topic.
At noon, as expected, Xiao Yan returned on time. At that time, Shen Liangxia was already sitting in the living room, waiting for him.
Seeing him enter, Xiao Bu Dian stood up immediately. He enthusiastically gave the outer coat to the butler and walked over with a few steps to hold the person in his arms, then began to interrogate him.
