C98 (2/2)

After a long time, Liu Xixi spoke up softly, ”Have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat here? ”

”I've been waiting for you to say that, sister-in-law. I won't be polite then.” As Ji Ling Chen spoke, he pulled open the chair next to Liu Muxin and sat down, ”Uncle Zhao, add a pair of chopsticks here.”

”Okay, I will go and get it now …” Uncle Zhao's face was full of smiles. He had watched this brat, Ji Ling Chen, grow up. The two of them were still able to maintain this relationship even after so many years had passed, and he felt comfortable in his heart.

Ji Ling Chen's position was right in front of the birthday cake, and he still had high aesthetic standards. Normal things didn't enter his eyes, ”Aachen, how come your taste has dropped recently? Which cake shop made this? ”Isn't this a little too ugly …”

”I... I made it. ” The slight embarrassment on Liu Xixi's face, when her work was pointed out by someone she wasn't familiar with, was always unnatural.

”Big Sis did it.” ”I took a closer look. I was wrong just now, this cake looks pretty good. I couldn't see it properly, so I didn't notice its beauty.” Hearing this, Ji Ling Chen instantly changed his words.

”If you want to eat it, then eat it. If not, then scram.” Shen Mo Chen opened his mouth, not showing any mercy. His way of speaking with Ji Ling Chen was just like this: if you have something to say, just say it, and there's no need to hide it.

Ji Ling Chen knew that he was protecting his own life, so he handed the folder in his hand to Shen Mo Chen, ”To think that I brought you a birthday present from so far away, how could you treat me like this?”

There was no change in Shen Mo Chen's expression as he opened the file. Inside were some documents, and on the topmost layer, there were several large words: ”Qin's plan to acquire the family.”

Liu Muxin looked at the few eye-catching words, then looked away.

Shen Jingchen stuffed the documents back into the file and said, ”Let's eat first. We'll talk about the rest later.”

Shen didn't want to bring his work to the table, and he didn't want to waste this part of Liu Xixi's heart.

Hearing this, Ji Ling Chen did not say anything. These days he and a few other shareholders had all been busy planning a counterattack against the Qin family, and indeed did not have a proper meal.

Liu Xixi watched as Shen Mo Chen finished the whole bowl of longevity noodles, leaving not even the bottom of the soup behind. He had a cheerful smile on his face.

Ji Ling Chen was dumbfounded. When he was young he was with Shen Jingchen for his birthday, and the nanny of the Shen family had prepared longevity noodles every year, but this man hadn't even moved an inch.

Sure enough, the charm of a woman was limitless. This unparalleled iceberg face was about to fall on Liuxi's body.

After dinner, Liu Xi Xi saw that Shen Mo Chen and Ji Ling had matters to discuss, so she pushed her sister out to the garden for a walk.

After all, she didn't want to know anything about Shen Mo Chen's business at all. She felt that emotions were a little more pure and simple, and that it was better not to involve so many benefits.

In the study room, Shen Jingchen sat on a chair, his fingertips habitually tapping the beat on the table. He carefully read the document that Ji Ling had given him.

He walked over to the window and smoked a cigarette. From his line of sight, he could see Liu Xi walking around with Liu Muxin in the garden. He didn't know what kind of joke Liu Muxin was making, but it made Liu Xi laugh so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.

Compared to Liu Muxin, Ji Ling Chen undoubtedly liked Liu Xi. He always felt that this girl had an unknown amount of strength, and was complementary to Shen Jingchen.

Perhaps it was his first impression, but he had always disliked Liu Muxin. Hence, when he saw the relationship between Ah Chen and Liu Xixi slowly turning better, he felt extremely happy in his heart.
