He is my son
"Fine, I'll see how you solve it." he said quietly.
She felt that her heart had become even more flustered by his pair of deep eyes. She could not help but unreasonably say, "Don't look at me."
He smiled good-naturedly. "Alright, I won't take a look." After saying that, he closed his eyes.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart relaxed a little. But no matter what, she couldn't take off her seat belt. On the contrary, she felt that it was getting tighter and tighter, and it even sank deeper into his skin.
She anxiously glanced at him, feeling that although his expression was calm, he definitely wouldn't feel good about it.
What should he do now?
She gritted her teeth and suddenly did not understand. She stood up and walked towards the other side of the room with large strides.
He sensed her movement and opened his eyes.
She walked to the side and used the chance to open the cabinet. She took out a small fruit knife and nodded in satisfaction.
Since it couldn't be undone, he could only resort to violence.
She walked over to him with a smile on her face.
A hint of a smile appeared in Si Lianye's eyes.
She walked to his side and waved the fruit knife in her hand. With a smile, she said, "Look at this. Be careful."
He held the shiny tip of the knife to his neck.
His eyes looked at her coldly without a hint of fear in them. Even if she purposefully brandished her knife, his gaze didn't change.
"Aren't you afraid?" she asked when she saw the strange calmness in his eyes.
"I've said it before, death under the peony flower is also a realm, so of course I'm not afraid." He answered with a smile.
With a snort, she turned the knife around and cut off the belt that was tied tightly to her body.
He shifted his body and sat up on the sofa.
She put the knife aside and said unhappily, "We should go."
He really was depressed. Originally, he wanted to make him worry for a while, but he ended up teasing him again. It was rare to see a man with such thick skin.
When he returned home and saw Le Le, he was overjoyed. The scene of Si Lianye hugging a boy made him feel like it was the most beautiful and satisfying scene in the world.
At this time, Yue Haoqing quietly walked over and called out to him from behind, "Boss."
He heard the sound and turned to look back. He turned and walked out the door.
Yue Haoqing silently followed behind him.
He looked at the courtyard full of green, and didn't even bother to ask anything. Instead, he looked at Yue Haoqing: "Give me one."
Stunned, the man lowered his head and took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him. Then, he took out a lighter and lit it with his own hands.
The firelight flickered and his face became blurry. "Speak, what happened over this period of time?"
Although he didn't see his mother when he came back, he could tell from the traces he didn't have enough time to clean up that his mother must have made a lot of trouble before they came back.
Only someone as ignorant as Shen Xiran was able to tell this.
Yue Haoqing lowered his head and said: "I do not know when this happened, but on the third day after you left, Old Mistress had started to visit you frequently. It is because of her identity that I could not stop her.
His eyes were cold as he looked at his opponent, "Do you not want to tell me because you feel that something is not right or because you don't want Xilan to know about it?"
Yue Haoqing was shocked. He suddenly raised his head, wanting to explain himself, but when he saw the frustrated look in Si Lianye's eyes, he once again lowered his head and said nothing.
He had nothing to say.
Si Lianye looked at him coldly: "It's because I trusted you that I wanted you to take care of this child. You're not telling me such a big thing? If I don't ask, are you trying to hide this from me when Le Le was taken away by her? "
Yue Haoqing's expression was extremely ugly. After hearing all this, he could not help but say, "But that is your mother, your biological mother. Shouldn't you …"
"Shouldn't? "I'm the boss, yet you're the boss. When did I need you to teach me how to do it?" He looked at his coldly, and every word he said was as sharp as a knife: "Yue Haoqing, I previously roughly know that you don't like Shen Xiran, but I didn't know that you had such a serious opinion of her. Let me tell you, Le Le is my son, and this will never change."
"But, Old Mistress is your mother. According to what you said, Le Le is your grandson. Yue Haoqing mustered the courage to tell him this once again.
Si Lianye's lips curled into a cold smile: "You don't need to know why; you only need to know one thing, and that is to protect Le Le well, and prevent anyone, including my mother, from getting close to him. Do you understand?"
Yue Haoqing's lips trembled, as though she still had something to say, but was suppressed by his aura. In the end, he didn't say anything, and could only lower his head and say: "I understand."
"This time you are seriously out of duty, this year's prize money doesn't belong to you. If there's a next time, obediently go to Africa for me. I've already started preparing a branch there and need a capable assistant to help me guard it, I think you are quite suitable." Si Lianye snorted.
Africa? Yue Haoqing painfully shook his body, and completely did not dare to say another word.
What he was more afraid of was the bonuses.
After Si Lianye finished lecturing her subordinates, she re-entered the room and discovered that there was no one inside. She could not help but raise her eyebrows in shock, and in the blink of an eye, she saw people laughing from the room next door.
That was Le Le's room.
He turned and walked over. He opened the door and saw the two of them rolling around on the carpet.
Le Le laid next to his mother, telling her about all the fun things that had happened in class vividly and vividly, "Mom, do you know …"
Shen Xiran touched the back of his son's head, his lips filled with a satisfied smile, as though he was listening to his son's words, his heart had long since flown away.
Looking at Le Le's pair of big eyes, she impulsively ignored his words and immediately picked up his little face to kiss him on both sides of his chubby cheeks before he had even finished speaking.
Le Le was suddenly attacked by her mother, he could not help but be stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he shouted angrily: "Mother, you did not listen to me!"
"Yes, of course there is. Continue …" "Ahh!" Before he could finish his words, a big hand suddenly extended out from beside his, directly lifting Le Le up into the air before putting him to the side.
She was stunned, then raised her head to look at Si Lianye who had appeared out of nowhere, and raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"
Si Lianye's eyes carried a strange aura, looked at her, then looked at Le Le who had crawled up again and was preparing to continue attacking her mother. She casually extended a hand to block him, and said: "It's time to eat."
"He only eats when he wants to, why did you take him so far away?" After being intimate with his son for so long, Shen Xiran was very dissatisfied with his actions.
She rolled her eyes and bent over to look at Le Le. "Come to Le Le, let's go eat."
Le Le nodded: "Okay." The clear and melodious voice of a child was very pleasant to hear.
She was beaming with joy and wanted to hug his son, but Si Lianye carried Le Le up before her and said, "He has gotten fatter. You can't carry him, let me do it."
She was startled, had Le Le gotten fat? Why didn't she feel it?
However, Le Le was unhappy. This was an era where there was serious discrimination against Fatty, even if he was a child of five or six years of age. He unhappily shook his body, "I am not fat, I am not fat, you are fat!"
He looked at Si Lianye angrily, and waved his hands hard to express his protest against his words.
Si Lianye did not think that her words would cause a hornet's nest to burst. She raised her eyebrows and said, "But I think you're fat."
"I'm not, you're talking nonsense!" He was so angry that his large eyes looked at Si Lianye accusingly.
He calmly looked at Le Le, "However, I think that this child is a bit fatter and more adorable, so I've prepared some dessert for you.
Le Le blinked, and suddenly forgot all about his dissatisfaction. He nodded without hesitation. "Yes!"
Only then did Si Lianye nod her head in satisfaction, and carry him all the way to the table.
A cake about twelve inches long had been prepared on the table. The beautiful cream lace, the shiny black chocolate, and the various words "Happy Birthday" on it made Le Le stunned.
She was also stunned by what she saw. "What are you doing?"
Si Lianye glanced at her: "Some people might even forget their own birthdays, so I can only help them remember it."
Her eyes immediately reddened. "I didn't expect you to remember my birthday …"
"Idiot, how could I forget?" Sighing lightly, he inserted the candles one by one. "Here, light some and make a wish."
She looked at him blankly, as if she was possessed. She used the small ignition stick in her hand and pulled a point in accordance with his request.
Le Le saw it from the side and excitedly pulled on her sleeves, "Mom, it's your birthday today, even Le Le doesn't know about it."
Her one sentence almost made her tears fall again. After lighting the candle, she gently looked at him and said, "Mom never told you, so of course you don't know."
Before she had met Si Lianye, no, it should be said that her mother's birthday had occurred before she passed away. However, ever since her mother had passed away, and after her own life had greatly changed, she no longer had the mood to celebrate her birthday. Furthermore, she had to work hard to support Le Le afterwards.
He never thought that Si Lianye would actually give him such a big surprise.
She only felt a bubble of happiness rising from the bottom of her heart. She pursed her lips, not daring to open her mouth, fearing that the moment she opened it, tears of happiness would flow out.
He looked at her and sighed. He reached his hand out and stroked her face. "It's just a piece of cake. You don't have to do this."
When she saw the bright color on his fingers after he took them off, she suddenly realized that she had unwittingly shed tears.
Le Le looked at her curiously. "Mom, why are you crying?
In his little mind, cake was the most delicious thing, and anyone who saw it would be happy.
She smiled and said, "Mom is crying because she is very happy."
Le Le tilted his head in confusion. Why would my mother cry when she was happy?
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and prayed for a while. Then, she looked up at Si Lianye and said, "My wish is over."
He smiled. "May I ask what you wish for?"
"No, it won't work if I say it out loud." She firmly rejected him, then took a deep breath and suddenly blew it out.
Le Le was so excited that he wanted to climb onto the table: "Mom, I want to brag too."
Her strength was too weak, after blowing out all of them, he had only extinguished two of them, and so he bent down to pick Le Le up, "Alright, let's blow together."
Thus, under the flickering candlelight and Si Lianye's gentle gaze, the mother and son duo extinguished the candles together.
