C104 (1/2)

Mom, where are you going?

The answer is simple, no.

Leaving aside her thoughts in her heart, just by the fact that she was his assistant meant that she had absolutely no reason to shirk her duties.

She spent the whole day with complicated thoughts. When she got off work, she received a call from her boss.

”Go home and prepare. I'll pick you up later.” ”No,” he said.

”Alright.” She hesitated for a moment before replying obediently.

He said nothing and hung up.

As she was walking out of the company, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and saw that the expressions of her colleagues around her were different from before.

They seemed to have a little secret in common, exchanging glances, but didn't say a word, all of them seemed to have a tacit understanding. Moreover, she could see the hidden disdain and contempt in some people's eyes, as if they had discovered something that some people couldn't see.

She thought about it and decided not to ask about it. In the company, she was usually alone and didn't have any close colleagues. Of course, no one would deliberately target her.

She got off the elevator and walked out. She was too preoccupied with the banquet tonight and did not expect that the moment she left, her colleagues who had not spoken earlier would immediately whisper to each other, ”Did you see that? It's her …”

”Really? If I didn't see the photo, I wouldn't have believed it …”

”That's right. I didn't expect her to be so good at acting. A white lotus …”

”Ai, you really can't judge a book by its cover …”

”That's right, that's right …”

Among them, there were those who were not well-informed. Upon seeing this, they curiously asked, ”What are you guys talking about?”

Then a busybody came up to her and grabbed her. ”You still don't know? ”Oh god, come come come come, let's have a good talk with you …”

Thus, the women gathered together and chatted until their superior walked over before splitting up.

Shen Xiran did not pay attention to what those people were saying at all. He was only thinking, if she went to attend the banquet that night, what should he do?

As she sat in the car, she suddenly thought of Xiao Rou who was living in her house. Maybe she could help him tonight?

But what if she wouldn't?

Maybe she should reject him? But there was no reason. Did she have to tell him that she had to take care of the child at night, so she couldn't go with him?

No, don't forget what you're looking for, she said to herself silently in her heart.

Then, he could only try to ask Xiao Rou.

After returning home, she tried to tell Xiao Rou about this matter: ”Xiao Rou, I have something to ask of you.”

Xiao Rou blinked her eyes, ”Sister Xiran, no need to be so courteous, just say it, I can do it, I will definitely do it.”

”Alright, I have to go out because of something tonight, so can you help me look after the child? I should be back a bit later.” ”No,” she said.

Xiao Rou agreed right away: ”Okay, I have nothing to do here anyways, Le Le is also very cute.”

Le Le looked up at his mother. ”Mom, where are you going?”

She saw the fear in Le Le's eyes and felt her heart ache slightly. She sat beside him and lovingly stroked his head: ”Mom is just going to work and will be back by night. Don't worry, Big Sister Xiao Rou will be with you.”

Le Le looked at her, and said in a clear voice: ”Then mother, you have to come back early.”

She was so strong and sensible that it made his heart ache. She couldn't help but kiss his tender cheeks and say in a low voice, ”Relax, I'll be back soon. You sleep obediently. Tomorrow morning mother will send you to school.”

”Yes.” Although there was reluctance in his eyes, he still nodded his head obediently. In his eyes, Shen Xiran felt even more heartache.

Le Le had truly been gifted to her by the heavens, she would definitely not let Si Lianye snatch him away!

In Xiao Rou's eyes, she was extremely envious of the relationship between mother and son.

Ever since she was young, she had lived in an environment that was overlooked by others. Other than her beloved brother, her parents were strangers to her. Every day, they would just look at her coldly, and even if she was bullied by the servants at home, they would pretend not to see it.

Back then, she didn't understand, but she felt that her parents were very sad to treat her like this. Every time when her own enthusiasm wasn't responded to or the servants bullied her and her parents ignored her, they would cry loudly.

Because of her flaw, the Shangguan Family, who had an extremely good face, felt ashamed and embarrassed. As a result, ever since she was young, not only had Shangguan Family never brought her out to socialize with others, she had even prepared to let her fend for herself.

All of this was because she could not speak. If it wasn't for her brother, she felt that she might not have been able to survive.

As he thought of this, he felt envy and gratitude towards his brother.

After Shen Xiran finished comforting his son, his phone rang. She looked at the number on the screen and frowned.

She stood up and said to Xiao Rou: ”Then I'll leave Le Le up to you tonight.”

Xiao Rou nodded: ”You can rest assured.”

She laughed, and told him the details of taking care of Le Le, and just as she finished speaking, her phone rang again.
