At this moment, they hadn't thought that a sentence they had said on a whim would become an agreement that they would never be able to make in their entire lives.
After the two of them had a beautiful and passionate night, Si Lianye brought her back home.
Although Shen Xiran's family wasn't as big as the Si Family's, they weren't considered normal families. Her father could be considered someone with a bit of a name in the business world, if not he wouldn't be raised as a mistress for the long term.
She got out of the car at her house, and turned to thank Si Lianye with a smile.
The corner of his lips curled up slightly. "Come here."
After a moment of shock, she walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" He had long since said what he needed to say.
It was obvious that she didn't expect her boyfriend to be so flirtatious. She had just stretched her face over to send a message when he seized the opportunity to give her a big kiss on the cheek.
She blushed and glared at him. "Pervert."
However, judging from his tone and attitude, it was more appropriate to say he was pouting rather than scolding.
Si Lianye laughed silently and caressed her hair: "Go, call me when you're back, hm?"
Her eyes were watery as she softly agreed.
He watched her back until she disappeared outside her front door, then drove away slowly.
However, what they did not expect was that their actions were all seen by someone.
And what Shen Xiran did not expect was, when she returned home this time, he would be facing something.
As she walked on the familiar ground, she heard a hearty laugh even before she saw anyone in the hallway. The moment she heard it, she knew it was from her father.
However, he was usually very serious when facing her, and he had very few chances of returning home, so it was the first time she heard him laugh like this.
When she thought of the phone call she had received that day, she could not help but feel curious.
After walking in, he found that his father was talking to a girl. The girl was wearing a pink dress, her long hair flowing down. She had a small face the size of a palm, and a pair of large eyes embedded in it, making her look extremely pitiful.
She couldn't help but inwardly marvel at his beauty. At the same time, she began to speculate, 'Who is this girl?' Could it be the daughter of a father friend?
When Shenfu said this, he looked up and saw that she had returned. His expression changed, and then he smiled and stood up: "Why did you come back without saying a word? Didn't you say you were going to call me so I could pick you up?"
She shook her head. "You're not well, so there's no need to trouble yourself. I had a friend bring me back."
Shenfu felt that she was a little disobedient, and his face was a little unsightly.
The more he looked at the girl, the more he found her familiar, so he directly asked his father. "Who is she? Won't you introduce us? "
Shenfu paused for a bit, and swallowed back what he was about to say. He looked at his daughter, then turned around to look at the girl behind him. This is my colleague's daughter, called Zimo. She's younger than you by two years.
A colleague's daughter?
She was a little suspicious of her father's words, but she couldn't find any flaws. The girl called Zi Mo, upon seeing Shenfu introducing her, gave her a gentle smile and said in a sweet voice, "Hello, my name is Zi Mo. It's nice to meet you."
Looking at her timid appearance, he looked like a frightened little white rabbit. Shen Xiran saw that she looked normal and just smiled at her.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along quite well, Shenfu rubbed his hands together in excitement. "Alright, the two of you get along well.
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Xiran to sit in his seat, and they sat very close to each other.
Shen Xiran raised his eyebrows, unable to understand what exactly his father was thinking.
Just as he was about to inquire further, he saw that the other party had already entered the kitchen.
Looking back, he saw that the girl called Zimo Mo's eyes were filled with tears, "Sister Xiran, do you not like me?"
"Me? "No?" It was the first time that she had met such a delicate little girl. She couldn't help but be shocked by her appearance and hurriedly explain.
"But why do you seem to dislike being with me? "Actually, I'm very easy to talk to. Ever since I was young, my body wasn't in a good condition, so I don't have many friends. Now that I see that you really like me, can you be my friend?" She looked at Shen Xiran with her big, expressive eyes, and a strong desire could be seen in them.
This was a very lonely girl, raised by an unknown family.
Shen Xiran thought silently in his heart. At the same time, he felt that her complexion was a little too pale, and as expected, it was as if he was sick, so he couldn't help but say: "Alright, since my father brought you back, of course we can be friends.
Hearing this, her pale face blushed a little, and she shyly said, "Actually, it's not a big problem, it's a kind of inherited disease. As long as you are careful not to get too excited, it's not a big problem.
When she called him big sister, Shen Xiran's heart felt very comfortable. When he saw her soft and tender appearance, he couldn't help but have an intense desire to protect her in his heart. He thought to himself that she probably had heart problems.
As a result, he put down his guard and began to chat with her slowly. He felt that although this girl called Zimo Mo was in bad health, she was very smart. She could be said to be smarter than many other people and would always find her point of view and echo them, as if afraid that she would be unhappy.
When she saw this, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She thought that this Zimo must have been scared of her at home. He was afraid that she would ignore him, so he was so cautious.
At this time, Shenfu walked in. Seeing that they were happily chatting, he couldn't help but smile as he waved and shouted: "Come here, Xi Ran. You must have been hungry all the way back right?
Shen Xiran raised his eyebrows, a little curious as to how his father, who had been away since he was young, knew what kind of dishes he liked to eat.
When she arrived at the dining table, she took a glance and discovered that there were quite a few dishes she liked. They were all heavy dishes that she liked, but there were a few that were light and were placed in front of Zi Mo.
The three of them sat down and the Shenfu spoke out first, "Xiran, I had let you down in the past. I hope that from today onwards, you will not hold any grudges against me."
He raised his glass to her.
Shen Xiran frowned: "Your body isn't in a good condition right now, you can't drink alcohol."
Shenfu laughed: "It's a drink, not wine."
She took a sip and was relieved to discover that it was exactly as he said.
Zimo remained silent by the side, his head lowered as he thought about something. He had eaten a very quiet meal.
Seeing that she had not eaten much, Shen Xiran even took the initiative to cook some dishes for her.
In truth, Shen Xiran felt that her father's actions today were a little strange. He kept apologizing to her along the way, as if he had really regretted it. Also, it was very obvious that her father liked her.
All of this revealed a strange emotion.
However, she didn't want to take it to heart. In any case, the mother she cared about the most was gone. Now, her father still didn't like her, so she didn't take it to heart.
Right after she made up his mind, Shenfu spoke out, "Xiran, you've been gone for so long. It's not easy to come back today, you should stay at home today. It's not too late to go back tomorrow."
She immediately refused, "No need, I still have things to do at the company."
Shenfu looked very disappointed: "Really?"
The disappointment of that moment softened her heart, and she almost changed her mind. She nodded at the thought of her dead mother, and said, "Yes."
"Alright then." He sighed and changed the topic. "It's still early today. I'm going to the hospital in the afternoon. Can you accompany me?" He looked at her with hopeful eyes.
She hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Okay."
I'm just accompanying him to see a doctor. I should be back soon.
At this moment, she didn't notice that Shenfu gave Zi Mo a meaningful glance after hearing her reply, his eyes filled with joy.
After finishing her lunch, she went to the balcony to call Si Lianye.
Si Lianye had obviously just returned home as well, and her voice carried a hint of tiredness. "How do you feel about returning home?"
She pouted and said coquettishly, "Not good at all, I want to go back now."
What she said was the truth. She thought that after coming back, she would be very excited to see her father sincerely regretting his actions, but that was all she felt right now. Her mother was dead, and her father's confession was already useless.
Maybe he had given up.
Si Lianye chuckled from the side: "If you don't like it, come back. I'll go pick you up."
It just so happened that he was getting impatient. After a while, his mother's words did not stop. She kept reminding and instructing him, so much so that it felt like his ears were growing calluses.
Hearing his words, she sighed, "I want to as well, but I can't. In the afternoon, I have to accompany him to the hospital to check his body. I can't leave until I'm done."
"Okay, give me a call when you're done." "No," he said.
"Alright, be careful." Although she was not in a good mood, her mood miraculously improved a lot when she heard his voice.
