"Then be careful. Contact us when the matter is settled." Liu Xixi glanced at Zeng Yi, then told Chen Xiao to be careful on the road.
Chen Xiao nodded his head. He had already bought the plane ticket for tomorrow morning. Today would be the last time he would meet up with Liu Xi, An An and An Ran in the short term.
Chen Xiao left Ping City early the next morning. Liu Xixi felt her heart was empty, even if Chen Xiao didn't say anything, Liu Xi knew that his family must have encountered a difficult problem, otherwise Chen Xiao wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
Liu Xixi was a little afraid that An'an would wake up and feel uncomfortable. In An'an's life, Chen Xiao had always been an indispensable existence. From the moment he was born until now, Chen Xiao had never left him.
Children were the most sensitive. Although An An didn't say anything, his son Mo Ru, Liu Xixi understood that An An's heart, Chen Xiao, definitely held a very important position.
Zeng Yi woke up very early and prepared breakfast for the three of them. She sat on the sofa listlessly, Liu Xixi washed up in a simple manner and saw Zeng Yi sitting in a daze in the living room. She lightly sighed before walking over and patting her on the back, "Are you alright?"
She had always known that Zeng Yi liked Chen Xiao. She had also mentioned this to Chen Xiao from time to time, but Chen Xiao was just like a block of wood, with no reaction at all.
Liuxi didn't want to make things too clear. After all, it was a private matter between the two of them. If the relationship between the two of them was frozen because of her, then that would be a crime that would last forever.
Therefore, the only thing Liu Xixi could do was to advise Zeng Yi and then fan the flames on the side. However, when faced with Chen Xiao's lack of oil, the results were often to no avail.
"Xixi, do you think Chen Xiao likes men?" A rare look of regret appeared on Zeng Yi's face. She fell in love with Chen Xiao at first sight. She still remembered the first time she went to Liuxi's house in Toronto and saw this white-clothed youth's elegant demeanor. She couldn't help but feel her heartbeat quicken.
At that time, she was still muttering to herself. She never thought that such a beautiful woman like Liu Xixi would occupy her. She was simply envious, jealous, and hateful.
Later on, when she found out that Chen Xiao was only Liu Xi's sworn brother, she couldn't help but jump in joy. She didn't know that there was such a small side of a woman in her bones.
However, Chen Xiao had always been polite to her, treating her like his little sister. After being together with her for a few years, he had no presumptuous thoughts.
To this man, other than the most formal confession, he had already done all that he could do. If it wasn't a mere log, he should at least express some gratitude.
"His brain circuits might be a little more novel …" Liu Xixi thought about how Chen Xiao always said she didn't have a girlfriend in front of him, but when so many girls stood in front of him and confessed to him, he turned a deaf ear.
"…" Zeng Yi held his pillow and lowered his head. Her tone was clearly worried. "Do you think Chen Xiao will be okay?"
That was why Zeng Yi was especially worried. He had always thought that Chen Xiao would be like before, always staying by their side, but Zeng Yi discovered that she didn't know anything about Chen Xiao's family.
"No, I believe him." Liu Xixi sighed, but her heart was filled with worry. To be honest, she couldn't tell whether her attitude towards Chen Xiao was right or wrong.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. If anything happens to him, I'll just tie him up and bring him back." In a split-second, Zeng Yi regained the surging passion of the past as he spoke to Liuxi.
"That's right." Liu Xixi agreed. If Zeng Yi could really get together with Chen Xiao, it would be a very good ending.
Seeing that it was almost time, Liuxi turned and walked back to Anthea's room, which she had disguised herself with her own efforts, from the bedclothes to the ornaments.
An'an was still sleeping. An unsteady sleeping expression surfaced on her young face, as if she was in a nightmare.
Liuxi sat down on the edge of the bed and slowly smoothed out his wrinkled brow. Then, she gently woke up An Xin. "Baby, wake up."
An An's sleepy eyes opened, and she looked at Liu Xixi. Her eyes were still empty, and she didn't seem to have woken up.
Liu Xixi lowered her head and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "You should get up and brush your teeth and wash your face. Mom will send you to school later."
Anthea came back to her senses, got up, and slipped into the arms of Liu Xixi. "Mommy, has Uncle already left?"
Liu Xixi was startled. She thought An'an didn't know about this, but she didn't expect that Chen Xiao had already informed An'an of his impending departure.
Previously, she thought that it was because An An's appetite was good that she finished her meal so quickly. Now, she guessed that Chen Xiao had already made an agreement with An An to ask him to go back to his room after dinner in order to tell them the news.
"An An, did Uncle say anything to you yesterday?" Liussi lifted Anthea into his arms, his eyes level with his own, and looked directly into his own.
"He told me to be a good boy and not make mother and godmother angry. He said that you were all tired and he wanted me to protect you like a little adult." Anthea repeated what her uncle had told him when he drove him home last night.
This... Why does it feel like a final farewell? Wasn't Chen Xiao supposed to be back soon? Why does it seem like he was arranging all of the affairs of the clan?
Liu Xi Xi Xi calmed down and told An An to go wash up, then he took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Chen Xiao.
As expected, the phone had been shut down, and he was probably already on the plane …
For a moment she found that she knew nothing about the man who had pulled her in the most difficult and painful times of her life.
How many people were there in his family, what kind of businesses they were engaged in, and what kind of changes had occurred in his family before he left in a hurry?
Without an accurate result, Liuxi didn't want An An and Zeng Yi to worry, so she suppressed her worries and calmly sent An An to school, then returned to Zhiyuan group.
After Liu Xixi signed the contract with Shen Mo Chen, she was eaten alive. Shen Mo Chen had arranged an office for her at Zhiyuan's office, which was worthy of its name and was convenient for her to work in.
