”Didn't I tell you not to come, why …” Chu Yu looked at him helplessly. Due to the fact that Youzi was here, she didn't dare to speak too loudly, so she finally carried Youzi and got on the car.
Xiang Qicheng observed Youzi through the rearview mirror. Suddenly, Youzi raised her eyes, and the two of them looked at each other. He suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
He didn't like children, so he kept feeling that they were a very troublesome being that was being discussed and stuck to each other. However, looking at the little girl in Chu Yu's arms didn't make him feel that way.
”Hello, uncle.” The child's clear voice instantly broke the awkward atmosphere inside the car.
Xiang Qicheng was startled, he nodded and replied stiffly: ”Hello.” For some reason, he was even a little nervous.
They drove to the company in less than two to three minutes. When they got there, Chu Yu led Youzi into the company and instantly attracted the attention of many employees.
Some of the older employees had met Chu Yu a few years ago and had a vague impression of her. However, when they saw the child she was holding in her hand, they instantly did not dare to confirm anything, and could only watch as she entered the elevator. As for the new employees, they were more interested in seeing this little girl with her jade carvings. She looked like a little star on TV and was extremely beautiful.
Walking on the smooth and bright marble floor of the company, Chu Yu was dazed for a moment.
She had even forgotten the last time she came to the Xiang Family Group before leaving the country, but she clearly remembered that feeling. Nothing much changed here. The scale, the facilities and even the atmosphere in the air were exactly the same.
When he pushed open the office door, nothing had changed.
Hugging Youzi, she quietly sat on the sofa and waited. Suddenly, a photo frame beside the desk attracted her attention.
In the photo, a couple was standing in front of a design piece by the entrance of the academy, smiling at the camera. The boy's expression was a bit serious, but if one looked carefully, they would notice the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he was secretly looking at the girl beside him from the corner of his eyes.
That was the first time she and Xiang Qicheng went to Australia to take a picture of him being here as a souvenir. Chu Yu never thought that he would actually wash the photo and place it on the desk.
What did he mean? He had clearly married Helian Di, yet he put a photo of him and her on the table. Was it to prove how much he loved her?
”Mommy, your picture …” Obviously, Youzi also saw the picture frame beside the desk. Her delicate and exquisite face instantly showed an expression of surprise as she shouted out. Besides, the person standing next to her was an uncle that she didn't know.
Chu Yu panicked and immediately flipped the photo frame on the table upside down. He didn't know how to explain it to his daughter.
The door was pushed open, and Xiang Qicheng walked in.
”I bought breakfast. Let's talk after breakfast.” He specifically went to the street behind the company to buy the Soup Dumplings. He heard from the employees that the Soup Dumplings in that shop were fresh and tender, and that Chu Yu and the kids would probably like to eat them.
”We... ”I've eaten.” She looked at him with some embarrassment, as well as at his frozen hand. When did Xiang Qicheng become so considerate? He actually went and bought breakfast without saying a word. Chu Yu thought to himself.
”Mommy, I want to eat.” Youzi curiously looked at the paper bag of Soup Dumplings in Xiang Qicheng's hands, then turned to Chu Yu and pleaded in a low voice.
