Chapter Eleven: Situ Leiyan, who is arrogant and complacent
When I woke up from the haze, it was already a crisp autumn noon.
Xiao Xixi opened her two sleepy eyes and looked out the window with squinted eyes. The sunshine was clean and bright but not dazzling. She stretched herself out of bed and twisted her body, but she was still... sore. Thinking about it, she blushed again.
Coupled with the sad heartbeat, she was never used to this kind of unspeakable thing.
This week, empty yourself, empty out Situ Leiyan's heart and mind, and give your heart and head a vacation. She walked out of the bedroom and immediately smelled the unique aroma of her mother's cooking, her eyes sparkling,
The feeling of hunger in the stomach is also present immediately.
She reached out and was about to secretly pick out the diced ham with her fingers, but her mother slapped her from the side: "Stealing it again!" Xiao Xixi stuck out her tongue and went to the bathroom. She just took a sip of water and planned to rinse her mouth when her mother's voice came from outside the house.
: "Xixi, did you tell Yan Rui that your birthday is coming?"
She almost swallowed a mouthful of water, so she hurriedly spat it out and said perfunctorily: "Yeah... we ordered the cake together!" She didn't dare to go on, for fear of mentioning Yan Rui's topic again, so she hurriedly said
: "I'll wash my face first, I'll wash my face first... I'll talk about it later."
Mother Xiao was wiping the kitchen utensils in the restaurant, feeling very comfortable. If this trend continues, the two children will gradually develop feelings for each other.
"Xixi, your father is coming back from an overseas inspection on your birthday. Go ask Yan Rui to pick him up!" Xiao's mother said naturally.
"Mom... It's too bad to bother Brother Rui all the time with this kind of thing - I can just go pick it up." Xiao Xixi wanted to try to dispel her proposal, but she was not fully mentally prepared to meet Yan Rui again.
But in a blink of an eye, her mother stopped what she was doing and looked at her with a little doubt. Xiao Xixi was nervous for a moment, and tried to pretend it was nothing and replied: "Okay, okay, Mom, I'll go with brother Rui... I'm afraid of him
You’re busy!”
Indeed, if she insists, her mother will definitely be suspicious. After all, the family is used to Yan Rui helping out with everything big and small. Xiao Xixi sighed from her heart, sat at the dining table, picked up the cup and took a sip of milk, thoughtfully.
It has been two days since ***. It has been two days. The huge president's office is deserted, lifeless and devoid of fun.
The air without Xiao Xixi is so thin and lonely.
Situ Leiyan reviewed the document in his hand and raised his hand to pick up the cup, but the coffee in his mouth always seemed to be missing some seasoning. In fact, it was still pure black coffee, and the ingredients were the finest Jamaican Blue Mountain.
Coffee beans are of high quality and fresh, rich and mellow, with a perfect combination of bitter, sour and sweet flavors and a long-lasting aroma. This is especially because the output is very small and the scarcity is very valuable.
The blue water of the Caribbean Sea seemed to appear in front of Situ Leiyan's eyes. On a sunny day, standing on the mountain peak, the bright blue light of the sea water was reflected. The feeling of joy and refreshment was just like the freshness of Xiao Xixi.
Damn, I thought of her again.
He put the cup in his hand on the table, and his cold eyes slid over her empty seat. At this time, the intercom phone rang at an inappropriate time. Situ Leiyan frowned slightly, picked it up, and replied lightly: "Come here.
." After hanging up, his eyebrows raised and the corners of his mouth moved uninhibitedly.
Secretary Bi had already come in at the door. She handed a piece of printing paper to Situ Leiyan. He looked at the paper and asked without looking up: "Are you sure?"
"Yes. Her good friend Chen Xiaowen is also an employee of the company, and she confirmed this." Secretary Bi answered meticulously.
"Okay, I understand." Situ Leiyan nodded and motioned for Secretary Bi to go out. He took advantage of the situation to sit more comfortably, looking at the paper in his hand, feeling a wave of secret joy in his heart.
This little girl actually hid her birthday from him, and she also wanted to celebrate it during the holidays! Did she make it clear that she didn’t want him to participate?
His heart couldn't help but tighten. The sharp gaze flashed in his eyes and the determination between his brows gave the air around him a strange aura.
Ha, Situ Leiyan had a stern smile. He was really looking forward to how she would spend her birthday.
Tomorrow is enough time.
Calmly, he pressed the answer button on the phone screen and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
*** "Over there." Xiao Xixi sat in Yan Rui's car, pointing to her father's figure not far away diagonally in front of her. Along the way, she had nothing to say. She felt that the atmosphere in the entire car was awkward, and the air was full of
It's like it's not flowing.
Yan Rui drove the car and said some insignificant words, but it turned out that there was no silver 300 taels here. Xiao Xixi secretly regretted that it was a mistake to agree to her mother's decision that day. Even if she persisted a little longer, it would not have led to what it is now.
The embarrassment of being alone.
Fortunately, the airport had arrived, and soon she saw her father carrying a suitcase and a trolley suitcase near the parking space at the airport gate. She pushed the door open and waved happily: "Dad! - here!"
"
Father Xiao saw his daughter's cheerful figure from a distance and walked happily towards him. It was Yan Rui who walked over from the driver's seat. He was very familiar with such scenes. Because of work needs, he needed to go there most of the time.
During exchanges abroad, from when he was young to now, every time he comes back, Yan Rui brings Xiao Xixi to pick him up.
Today, I suddenly felt that both children had matured. Like Xiao's mother, he had basically determined that Yan Rui was the best candidate for the other half of Xiao Xixi's life.
Yan Rui had already taken over his luggage, and the three of them returned home.
The next day was Xiao Xixi's birthday.
Xiaowen also came to the house very early to help buy groceries and cook, and joked with Xiao Xixi from time to time. The atmosphere in the whole family soon became cheerful. There were so many people and people in the house, and the mood became relaxed and comfortable. Xiao Xixi could not help but feel happy.
Freed from the chaos and confusion, he teased his lips coquettishly.
"Xixi, call Yan Rui quickly, it's time for dinner and you haven't come yet." Xiao's mother looked at her watch and it was already 10:45 and urged.
Xiao Xixi concealed her reluctance and went to the bedroom to take out her mobile phone. She knew that Yan Rui must also deliberately avoid getting along with each other. After that night, he became much more serious. He should also understand her attitude, so today he did not come as much as in previous years.
Morning. Xiao Xixi was still lucky, but her mother urged her to make a phone call.
Just as he was hesitating to dial the number, the doorbell rang rapidly.
She put down her phone, walked out the door and said towards the kitchen: "Mom, look - I just said you don't need to call to urge me, brother Rui is here!"
When she opened the door, Xiao Xixi was dumbfounded. Standing at the door was Yan Rui. What caught her eyes was clearly... that Situ Leiyan with a cold and arrogant look on his face!
"You...you..." She was so shocked that she couldn't speak. How could he appear here? Impossible. Could it be...that he had a fever and was hallucinating? She held the door with one hand and touched the door with the other.
He only lowered his hand and pinched himself hurriedly, no, it was not an illusion, it was him, it was real.
"Xixi, why are you still standing? Why don't you let Yan Rui come in!" Xiao's mother didn't hear any movement in the living room in the kitchen, so she walked over and took a look, but saw a strange man standing at the door.
Ask, "Xixi, this is...?"
Before she finished speaking, Xiaowen came from the kitchen and said in surprise: "Si...President Situ?!"
