When Lei Yunze heard this voice, a hint of unhappiness flashed across his eyes. He clearly wanted to avoid the year that passed, but he didn't expect that he would still be at home.
However, Ling Xiao Yue's emotions were completely different from Lei Yunze's. She asked joyfully, "Brother Nian, are you still not at work?"
"Yeah, his company doesn't have anything to do today, so he just slacked off." Aunt Shen looked at Ling Xiao Yue and unceremoniously exposed how short a year was.
Hearing this, Lei Yunze silently cursed in his heart. This kind of person who caught fish every day was destined to not be able to accomplish anything big.
"Brother Nian is very busy after he returned, so it's a good thing to take a rest today."
When He Henian walked in and saw Ling Xiao Yue and Shen Shiyun chatting passionately, he also joined with a smile.
"Mom, don't always say bad things about me in front of Yueyue."
Shen Shiyun looked at him grudgingly, "Your ears are like the wind?" "Everything can be scraped in?"
Hearing Shen Shiyun's words, Ling Xiao Yue covered her lips and laughed lightly, "Brother Nian, Aunt Shen says the opposite every day. She knows that you're tired, so she said it on purpose."
"Don't help her explain. I know my mother better than she does."
The three of them chatted and laughed, while Lei Yunze stood aside, silent.
Although Lei Yunze had a calm expression, one could guess from the displeasure in his eyes that he seemed to be in a very bad mood.
After the few of them chatted for more than ten minutes, Shen Shiyun finally remembered that there was someone else.
"Aiya, blame me. I even forgot to invite you in." As she said that, she invited the two into the house. This villa was not big, but it was very warmly decorated. The hand-woven carpet on the floor and the wool cushions on the sofa gave off a warm atmosphere everywhere. I didn't ask for a servant. You guys take a seat here, I'll go pour some tea for you guys. " He took out some snacks from a small cupboard at the side and placed them on the tea table. As Shen Shiyun called out to the two of them, Ling Xiaoyue stood up to help. Lei Yunze pulled her up and followed Shen Shiyun over.
"What do I need to do?" Lei Yunze loosened his shirt and jacket slightly. How could Shen Shiyun have the nerve to let the guests do the work? She quickly chased him away to sit with Ling Xiao Yue.
"You're welcome, if you need anything, I can help." Although Lei Yunze lived in a wealthy family, he was not a child who grew up in luxury. He would not be troubled by ordinary household chores.
Shen Shiyun repeatedly refused, but He Henian shoved a can of tea into Lei Yunze's hands.
"There's a pot in the cupboard above the kitchen. Our family doesn't like tea and hasn't used it in a long time. If Director Lei can help make this tea, then we'll make it. Xiao Yue's favorite is fruit black tea." When Lei Yunze heard this, he stared blankly at the tea leaves in his hand for a long time. Then, Shen Shiyun patted He Henian's back and scolded him.
"Just call me by my name." After Lei Yunze finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen to look for the teapot that He Henian talked about.
Shen Shiyun and the others hadn't been here for long, and there weren't many things at home. Lei Yunze didn't spend much effort to find them. He carefully washed the teapot clean, then boiled water for tea.
"Aiya, how can we let guests brew tea! Come on, let me do it! " Shen Shiyun stepped forward, wanting to finish the teapot in Lei Yunze's hands, but it was rejected.
"I've just steamed it and it's still hot. I'll be fine. I heard from Xiao Yue that you were close friends with her mother and that you watched her grow up. "
Hearing this, Shen Shiyun's gaze dimmed. She nodded and said to Lei Yunze, "That's right. Her mother and I grew up together, but I didn't expect her to just disappear like that. Thinking that she was living such a miserable life by herself made me feel as if my heart was being crushed." As she spoke, her eyes turned slightly red. She quickly calmed down with an embarrassed smile on her face. "All I can say is nonsense. It's not good to be saying this now. Don't take offense." I just heard the year you were called 'Director Lei'? Are you also a businessman? "
"I'm Ray's current CEO." Lei Yunze briefly introduced himself. Shen Shiyun wasn't really interested in any of this, so naturally, she didn't know much about it. It was only after she heard it did she understand.
"That's great, that's really great. If I had known about it, I would have been able to rest at ease." She immediately stretched her brows, "The bitter days have passed by too many times. She has always kept many things to herself as a child. Since childhood, she has been crying alone in a corner when she was unhappy. She has always been feeling wronged, hiding her emotions, making others think that she is very happy."
"I will treat her well." Lei Yunze didn't know why he said those words so decisively. It was obvious that he was with Ling Xiao Yue just to recite …
"That's good, that's good. You must be fine until you reach my age. Money is not something to be reckoned with. There's nothing more joyful than sitting together and having a meal together." Shen Shiyun smiled. The wrinkles at the corner of her eyes had become gentle. Years had ruined her appearance, but they had given her a peaceful heart.
Ling Xiao Yue sat in the living room, eating melon seeds as she came to Shen Shiyun's place. She was more relaxed than she was at home. When she saw Lei Yunze come out with the teapot, she extended her hand to receive it.
"Don't touch it, it's hot." Ling Xiao Yue tactfully retracted her hand. Lei Yunze passed the freshly brewed tea to Ling Xiao Yue.
"Xiaoyue." Shen Shiyun called out to her before placing a box of sugar cubes on the table. When Ling Xiao Yue saw it, her eyes lit up with joy. She took out two cubes and placed them into a small teacup to take a sip.
In the past few days at the villa in the western suburbs, Ling Xiao Yue had never drunk a single cup of fruit black tea, nor did she eat so many sweet foods. Lei Yunze suddenly recalled what Shen Shiyun had said just now.
"If you like it, you can buy some next time."
When Ling Xiao Yue heard this, she was somewhat surprised. She constantly shook her head and said, "There's no need. I can't drink too much either. Besides, there's still a lot of tea at home."
"Those aren't what you like." Lei Yunze's words were very light, but Ling Xiao Yue's heart could not help but pound. This raging heartbeat made her not dare to look into his eyes, so she held her cup in silence for a long time. Lei Yunze thought that he had said the wrong thing and was still pondering how to explain it to her when he heard Ling Xiao Yue nod her head slightly and answer with a "Yes."
She had heard from Ling Xiao Yue about the child before. When she had introduced this person, Shen Shi Yun had always been worried that the two of them might be forced to stick together because of the child. However, from the few words that they had exchanged just now, Lei Yunze still cared about Ling Xiao Yue.
Those two sentences just now, although it was not an oath, but a sincere confession of love, but each and every word fell into one's heart and were much more realistic than those empty declarations.
