Chapter 957: 957
An Xiaxia’s head was swooning when he let go of her . “I’m not wearing any lipstick today… Ah, but I did have some spicy hot cup noodles!”
Her lips must have been red from the chilli .
“Yup, I figured that out . It’s quite yummy . ” Sheng Yize couldn’t help but chuckle .
An Xiaxia blushed right away, for she suddenly recalled that she had eaten the noodles after washing up . Afterward, she only washed her mouth, but didn’t brush her teeth . The taste must still be in her mouth…
Aww, that was so shameful…
“I’m going back up . Do you want to… come up with me?” An Xiaxia asked hesitantly .
“No . He Jiayu’s not at home and it wouldn’t be appropriate . ” Sheng Yize checked his watch . “Go keep her company . Call me if you need anything . ”
An Xiaxia bit her lip . “What about you?”
Sheng Yize smiled mildly .
“Worried about me?”
“Of course!” An Xiaxia lowered her head . “I was thinking that if it had been you today, I would have had a nervous breakdown already…”
“I know . ” Sheng Yize understood her . “And I will never make you worry . ”
He would never choose a profession like a doctor or a police officer .
It wasn’t that he didn’t have other aspirations, but to him, An Xiaxia was the top priority .
He didn’t want her to worry .
He rubbed An Xiaxia’s head and the little woman hopped back upstairs, only to come back down with a blanket .
“This is for you! Don’t catch a cold!”
Sheng Yize glanced at the aircon temperature inside the car .
28 degrees .
Far from a temperature that would give him a cold .
But he accepted An Xiaxia’s affection without hesitation and added, “Go get some sleep . ”
“Sure . Good night!”
–
Sheng Yize sat in the car the whole night . He set out for work a little past seven after ordering the two friends a takeaway breakfast, which was to be delivered at ten o’clock .
He spent his morning dealing with official business . His assistant then came into his office after a knock, saying gingerly, “Mr . Sheng…”
“Yes?” Sheng Yize was reading a document in his hand .
He had been away for a while and a few contracts which needed his personal attention had piled up .
Examining the look on his face, the assistant asked with a distressed expression, “May I inquire what your mood is like at the moment?”
“Pretty good . ” Sheng Yize looked up . “To the point, please . ”
“I’m going to tell you, then…”
Sheng Yize’s face darkened . What was wrong with his personal assistant today?
“Miss Lan is waiting for you in the lounge . ”
“Miss Lan?” Lan Yu?
“She says she’s here as the daughter of the Lan family of Qing City…” The assistant’s voice trailed off .
Sheng Yize was silent for a moment . He then snapped the file shut . “Take me to her . ”
“Yes . ”
The lounge .
Lan Yu was gracefully sipping from her coffee cup . “Hello, Mr . Sheng . ”
“To what do we owe this pleasure, Miss Lan?” Sheng Yize bowed a little . The Lan family of Qing City was a force that he couldn’t underestimate .
He had no idea his aunt-to-be was from such a remarkable background .
Lan Yu chuckled, and her upturned eyes had a mesmerizing look to them . “I thought you would have sought me out, but I had to come here for you in the end . ”
Sheng Yize smiled back at her, but it never reached his eyes .
“I hear that my uncle has been drowning himself in alcohol these days and can barely keep himself together . I was wondering if Miss Lan has anything to do with it?”
The look on Lan Yu’s face changed a little and her smile looked forced . “Oh? I didn’t know . ”
“I can forget about the incident with the news last time for my uncle’s sake . ” Sheng Yize raised his dark eyebrows . “I’m only confused about Miss Lan’s intentions . ”
“Forget about it? Don’t you think you owe me a thank you?”
