You're too slow

After being depressed for a while, Lin Zixuan regained his courage, and asked while looking at Le Le: ”Le Le, where is your mother?”

He swore that he definitely didn't ask on purpose. It was just a casual question, but then he noticed the faces of the two men in front of him crumbling at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

A chill began to spread inside the car.

Lin Zixuan felt awkward, but at the same time, he was trembling from the cold. He could not help but look at Si Lianye.

Si Lianye's expression was even darker than the dark clouds on the sky. She swept him with a glance and asked: ”Shut up.”

Lin Zixuan opened his mouth to argue, but in the end he still acted obediently and didn't ask anything. After knowing Si Lianye for so many years, his deepest understanding was that he mustn't disturb him when he was in a bad mood, otherwise she would die miserably.

Le Le did not care that much. It was not easy for him to forget about his mother's matter, and in the end, he was attracted by the feelings of this uncle in front of him. He pouted and asked: ”Uncle Si, you will bring your mother back, right?”

Si Lianye swept a glance at Lin Zixuan, and his gaze seemed to carry ice dregs, causing Lin Zixuan to instinctively feel his entire body turn cold and shrink back, even without turning his head back.

When his gaze returned to Le Le, it had already become much gentler. ”Of course, I will get your mother back.”

Only then did Le Le's face slowly lit up again.

After he calmed Le Le down, he shifted his attention back onto Lin Zixuan, ”How did you know I was there?”

Lin Zixuan heaved a sigh of relief, and replied: ”I was just passing by, I wanted to buy some gifts to coax my mother, but when I saw that there was a large group of people in front of me, I went up to take a look, and in the end I just saw you hugging a child and being surrounded. I felt that it was just because we were friends, and couldn't bear to see you in such a sorry state, so I thought of a way to save you.

He looked very pitiful, but Si Lianye did not take him seriously at all. She knew Lin Zixuan from when he was young, and she knew his personality, it was just like a joke.

”Is that so?” He swept his eyes across him, and did not say any words of consolation, but following that, his indifferent sentence lit up Lin Zixuan's eyes: ”Next week will be Aunt's birthday, right? I'll get someone to deliver the Ming Dynasty vase. It's the wedding present. ”

Lin Zixuan immediately tossed all his unhappiness to the back of his mind, and laughed without care for his image: ”Haha, good, then I'll thank you, my father had long taken a fancy to you, in the end you're so petty, and won't sell it. This time he's definitely overjoyed.”

Si Lianye looked at his smiling face in silence, and suddenly asked: ”Did you do something wrong to make them unhappy?”

Lin Zixuan's expression immediately changed as if he had been shot by a bullet. The smile on his face disappeared as he asked: ”How do you know?”

”Isn't that obvious?” Si Lianye was extremely disdainful of his intelligence, ”Look at your usual performance, then look at yourself in the mirror, trying to please them with such an obvious expression. Do you think I'm blind?”

Lin Zixuan was crestfallen. ”You are always as smart as a ghost …”

Suddenly, he raised his head and sighed. ”Tell me, how can an elderly person be so stubborn? I've used up all my eloquence to not be able to convince them. You've really helped me out this time …”

Si Lianye looked at him, and did not continue to ask why he said that. He did not gossip, in his opinion, if Lin Zixuan really wanted to ask for help, he would definitely say it.

Lin Zixuan did not seem to want to say much, but he quickly changed the topic, and in the end, thanked Si Lianye sincerely when he got off the car. Although he knew that this was Si Lianye's way of expressing his thanks to him, in return for saving him before, but he had already long made arrangements.

After he left, the crowd that was following Si Lianye gradually dispersed. Only Yue Haoqing followed: ”Boss.”

Si Lianye swept his eyes across him: ”You're too slow.”

Yue Haoqing's face revealed an ashamed look, he lowered his head and said: ”Sorry, something happened on the way here.”

According to their plans, he should be the one to appear behind the reporters and help Si Lianye, but he was delayed.

Si Lianye did not like owing favors, so she gave the vase out. She did not want to say anything now, so she just coldly glanced at him: ”Be careful next time.”

With that said, he turned and entered the door, and Yue Haoqing shamefully followed him.

Si Lianye gently took off Le Le's shoes and changed them into cute little slippers. Then, she gave him a bottle of milk and told him to happily sit on the sofa and watch TV.

Although it was not his first time seeing the boss treat this child well, Yue Haoqing still felt that his opinion of the boss had deviated greatly.

After saying that, he became a cold CEO. Why did he suddenly turn into a warm man and become a wet nurse?

He silently cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

Just as she was thinking, Si Lianye suddenly said: ”Follow me.”
