Where are your family?
It was terrible.
Shen Xiran shook his head instead, ”No, not for now. Go out first, I want to be alone for a while.”
Sister Yu's face was full of unease. Seeing that she was unwilling to go out, yet unable to not listen, she could only sigh and walk out the door.
She sat in this position until nightfall.
During this period of time, Sister Yu cooked some food for her to eat. She only ate a little bit before she could no longer eat anymore.
Seeing that, the Sister Yu helplessly shook her head, and kept the food away.
Si Lianye had returned at night, but the moment she stepped into the room, she felt that the atmosphere was completely different from before.
He immediately narrowed his eyes and asked the Sister Yu, ”Has someone come before?”
Sister Yu said in a low voice: ”It's Old Mistress. She came over.”
His gaze turned cold. ”What did she say?”
She shook her head. ”I don't know, Old Mistress told me to leave.”
He nodded, thought for a while, then said, ”I know, you can go back now.”
Sister Yu said in a low voice: ”Ever since Old Mistress left, she has been in a very bad mood. She only ate a little dinner and didn't say anything.
He grunted.
When he opened the door, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed. Her black hair was let down, making her face look extremely pale. For a moment, he thought that her face was even whiter than the sheets.
His heart instantly tightened.
He walked over with light footsteps. ”What are you thinking about?”
She looked up at him and smiled, but her pale, terrible face made her look especially creepy.
He sat beside her and took her hand. He couldn't help but frown. Her hand was colder than ice.
”Are you not feeling well? I told the doctor to come and see it. ” He was about to get up, but she stopped him. ”No, no need. I'm fine, really.”
He looked at her carefully. ”You don't look like you're all right.”
She shook her head. ”I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, then call the doctor to take a look.”
She withdrew her hand, her expression calm.
He narrowed his eyes and sat down again. He pulled up the blanket and held her in it, then took her in his arms along with the blanket.
He kissed her cold forehead and whispered, ”Tell me, what did my mother say to you?”
She glanced at him. ”If I say she didn't say anything, would you believe me?”
”Of course not.” He said in a deep voice, ”So tell me quickly, or I'll call her and ask.”
He stroked her hair and said, ”Why didn't you call me earlier?”
She smiled. ”I don't want to disturb you.”
”Idiot, you will always be number one in my heart.”
”Really?” Her nose suddenly twitched, and she recalled what Imperial Mother had told her before.
He doesn't have complete control of the company yet, she said, so if he disobeys, she can make him lose everything at any time.
Thinking of this, her heart tightened. Seeing his lips move, she didn't say anything.
He whispered in his eyes, ”What happened to you? ”Speak.”
She thought for a moment and said, ”She told me that if you didn't listen and leave me, she would kick you out of the company.”
He smiled. ”That's what she told you?”
She relaxed when she saw his relaxed appearance. ”Yeah, she said a lot of things, but that's what I heard. She even wanted me to leave you for your own good.”
He pinched her nose in amusement, ”I didn't know you were so timid, to actually scare you like this.”
”Yeah, this is the first time I've been threatened by someone.” She said coquettishly, ”But I'm curious, aren't you already in control of the company? ”What did she say about getting rid of you?”
”Do you believe me when I say she lied to you?” ”She is no longer the chairman. She has been away from the company for several years,” he said with a laugh. ”Even though she has won over many people before, she no longer has the influence she once had.”
”Really?” She stared at him.
”Really, believe me.” He could see the seriousness in her eyes and suddenly asked, ”Did she say something else?”
He suddenly lowered his head and gave her a long kiss, all the way until she almost lost her breath. Only after seeing her lips regain their bright red color did he feel satisfied. ”If you don't say anything, I'll keep on kissing until you're willing to say it.”
She covered her chest and said, ”Don't come anymore, I'm a patient. Be careful not to anger me later.”
”It's good that you know. Why don't you tell me?” He said this with a threatening tone.
She helplessly said: ”She said to obediently leave you. Otherwise, the matter regarding Xiao Rou will repeat itself on everyone around me.”
His expression changed. ”Did she really say that?”
After speaking, her heart felt a lot more at ease. She nodded and said, ”It's true. She even said a lot of scary things. What are you saying …” Thinking of this, she shivered, unable to continue.
She threw herself into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered into his ear, ”Do you know? I have always remembered what happened five years ago very clearly. I have always been brooding over you and even doubted your explanation, but now I feel that I should be able to trust you now, because your mother really was able to do such a thing without being afraid of harming you. ”
He gave a wry smile. ”It's not too late for you to find out.” He ruffled her hair and asked, ”That's all she said. What else?”
