Chapter 24 (2/2)

”Can you get me some paper towels?”

I excused Shen Xun from his topic. Shen Xun didn't say anything, so he handed me a paper towel and watched me eat noodles.

I was a little uncomfortable and asked, ”don't you have any work to do?”

Shen Xun smiled and said, ”caier, are you shy?”

I blushed a little and was in a hurry to speak, but I choked carelessly.

”Can you eat slowly? I won't rob you. Why are you so big, or why can't you take care of yourself? By the way, Huo Huan? Isn't he busy all day? Why don't he take care of you?”

Shen Xun frowned and looked at me carefully.

”Why do you care so much? Well, I'll eat well. Please go back, but thank you for taking care of me today. You'd better hurry back to accompany your Luo Yuxian. She saw us going together today. She's afraid she'll have to trouble me again when she comes back.”

I bit my lips slightly, looked harmless, and looked at Shen Xun with some worry.

Shen Xun frowned slightly, thought for a long time and said, ”don't worry, I'll take good care of her. Don't worry too much and have a good rest.”

”Well, if you're all right, go first. If Huo Huan sees it, it's not good.”

As soon as I mentioned Huo Huan, Shen Xun's face sank, and even his words were cold.

”I see. Let's go first.”

Seeing Shen Xun leave, I was in a good mood immediately. It was tiring to play for a long time. Next, I'd better enjoy my seafood noodles first. Don't eat for nothing!

Just after I had filled my stomach, Huo Huan finally called.

”Huo Huan, why did you answer the phone? I'm dying of anxiety!”

”Sorry, honey, when I went to France, the plane was late, so I hurried to the venue. Now I have time to relax. By the way, how are you? Should I be happy to go to my cousin's wedding?”

”Well, I'm very happy. Do you know who the bride is? She's my best friend, Xiao Xiao!”

”It's good to let your brother and sister-in-law visit you quickly. It seems that you must teach me how to marry my brother and sister-in-law.”

”I know. By the way, how's the French case? Is it difficult?”

”It's really a bit tricky. There are traitors among our people and revealed our case with France to our opponent Adams. Now I'm still investigating their company, so I have a lot to do next, and it's very troublesome. I'm going to have a headache. How can I live without you?”

I was speechless. How could Huo Huan become such a child since he returned home? I had to comfort him: ”then you should deal with the matter earlier, so that you can come back earlier.”

”Yes! You must take care of yourself while I'm away.”

”Then you'll be busy first. We'll talk on the phone when you're free.”

After hanging up the phone, I began my lunch break. Just when I was sleepy, the phone rang again.

I answered the phone impatiently and asked angrily, ”who! Can you let people have a good sleep at noon? Is it over?”

”Rebellious girl! Don't you come back quickly!”

I looked at my cell phone number and felt annoyed. What am I doing when I'm free? Just hang up?

I said angrily, ”what's the matter? I don't remember that I have too much contact with my father.”

”You rebellious girl, go home right away. Look what you've done. Are you what a sister should do? Go home right away! Otherwise I'll give all my shares to your sister!”

”I see!”
