Chapter 880 - Live Your Life (2/2)
However, unlike the two older siblings, Jianan had a different opinion from them.
He knows that Yue Ling is an angel sent to them, and when he grows up, he wants to marry someone like her. If possible, he doesn't mind marrying her, but that means his rival is Lu Tian.
Remembering the man's cold appearance that sent a chill down his spine, he shivers.
He decides it is best to marry someone as wonderful as Yue Ling.
”Woah! Did someone hit the lottery?”
A voice suddenly sounds from the side, and the Liu siblings turn their attention to the person. Liu Ye and Liu Jingyi smile a polite nod at the person while Jianan smiles with his teeth and runs to the person.
”Mr. Lin, why are you here?”
He wrapped his arms around Lin Hui and gave the man a big hug. His head tilts back, and he stares up in wait for an answer.
Lin Hui smiles a laugh at how adorable the little boy behaved. He does what he usually does and pats Jianan on the head.
”I'm here to see how you guys are doing.”
He looks up, and his eyes lock on the many shopping bags and the pile of clothes laid on the coffee table and two couches.
”You guys really went all out today, hm?”
Liu Ye and Liu Jingyi blushed in shame at his words. Although it wasn't them who bought so much in one day, they were there and could be blamed too.
Seeing how Lin Hui had embarrassed them, Liu Shan couldn't help but intervene. He walks up to his comrade and crosses his arms over his chest.
”Hey, you're making them feel awkward. Besides, they're innocent. Boss was the one who assigned me to get all these things for them. She gave me one of her bank cards too.”
Once Lin Hui heard this, his eyes widened with arched eyebrows. He robotically turned his head to the assistant, and his mouth opened and closed before he could utter a word.
”Boss… bank card… assign….”
He thought he could speak in proper sentences, but he ended up stuttering out broken words. He stares at Liu Shan for a long minute before raising a hand to massage his forehead.
”Explain.”
Liu Shan rolled his eyes when he heard those words. He just told Lin Hui what happened, yet the man doesn't seem to understand him at all.
He places one fist on his hip and heaves a long sigh in frustration.
”Bro, it is like I said. Boss entrusted me with her bank card and assigned me to take Liu Ye and Liu Jingyi shopping.”
Listening to each word that entered his ear, Lin Hui nodded his head as he understood. However, he doesn't say a word but stares into the blank space in front of him like was contemplating on something.
After what felt like an eternity had gone by but would have been only a few seconds, he finally came to his senses.
He looks back at Liu Shan but narrows his eyes as he leans towards the man.
”Did you by chance…”
He pauses midway to glance around the room and then continues but makes sure to quiet down his voice for only Liu Shan to hear.
”Did you buy anything for me?”
”…”
Liu Shan was beyond dumbfounded by the question. He thought Lin Hui was suspicious of him but to find out the man was curious if he bought anything for him, he scratched the back of his head.
”Dude, what are you talking about? Why would I buy you anything when I didn't even get myself something?”
Lin Hui gasps in horror with his mouth wide open. It was as if he had heard the most ironic thing in the world.
He stares at Liu Shan but scoffs in disbelief in the next second.
”You had boss's card, and you didn't even buy yourself something? Not even a shirt?”
Liu Shan rolled his eyes in response. His boss did tell him to buy himself something with her money, but while he was out shopping, he was too busy focusing on the children.
It was a good thing the assignment was given to him. If it had been Lin Hui, he (Lin Hui) would have undoubtedly maxed out the bank card.
He shakes his head and walks away from the man. He picks up one of the shopping bags and heads in the direction of the kitchen.
”Since you're here, I'm going to help boss prepare dinner.”
Lin Hui watches as the assistant disappears from the living room and scoffs. He looked away, and he was greeted with three pairs of curious eyes staring directly at him.
”Umm…”
He chuckles in a sarcastic way with a crooked smile and averts his gaze from them.
”So… what did you guys end up buying today?”
