Chapter 641 - 628
"Oh, Grandpa..." Little Mantou looked dejected, his little arms like lotus root segments wrapped around Le Zhengsheng. "Ah Sheng, play video games with me upstairs!"
"...Okay."
Le Zhengsheng nodded helplessly towards Fu Xianlin and Yu Sangwan, "Master, Wanwan, I’m going up."
"Mm."
Fu Xianlin waited until they went upstairs before asking his daughter, "What’s going on? Is Little Mantou mad at you?"
"Ah." Yu Sangwan sighed and shook her head, "If he were mad at me, it would be better. I could still coax him over. Little Mantou is... mad at Jinxuan!"
"..." Fu Xianlin was startled, paused for a moment to understand, and then sighed, "Ah, the child wants a dad, can’t blame him."
Yu Sangwan frowned, staying silent.
"Taotao." Fu Xianlin thought for a moment and still advised, "Jinxuan has been gone for so many years, you should start considering your personal life..."
Yu Sangwan didn’t expect her father to say this, hurriedly replied, "Dad, how can you..."
"Let me finish." Fu Xianlin raised his hand to interrupt his daughter, "I know, you and Jinxuan had a good relationship. When Jinxuan had the accident, you fought desperately to protect Little Mantou. But Taotao, the deceased are already gone, the living must go on."
He felt a sense of loss in his heart too.
"Remarrying isn’t just for you... Look at Little Mantou, he’s growing up and indeed needs a father. It’s crucial for his personality development and social skills in the future."
Yu Sangwan felt her heart sinking bit by bit; she understood this principle. No matter how good a mother is to a boy, she can’t replace a father.
Fu Xianlin reasoned with logic and emotion, "Le Zheng is the most suitable person. You both know each other well, and he is truly devoted to you... Plus, Little Mantou likes him so much. Because of you, Le Zhengpeng still won’t let him enter the household. You know the Lezheng Family only has him as their only son!"
"I know, Le Zheng... I owe him."
Yu Sangwan was deeply worried, "But, Dad..."
"Don’t rush to refuse." Fu Xianlin was clearly decided, "If it were five years ago, I wouldn’t advise you... But Taotao, five years is enough. You’ve done nothing wrong to Jinxuan, guarding him for five years is enough."
Yu Sangwan’s eyes filled with tears, hearing Jinxuan’s name, her anguish hasn’t lessened from back then!
Fu Xianlin looked at his daughter and changed the topic, "Think about this carefully. Ah Sheng is back, tell the kitchen to add more dishes, tonight I want to have a good drink with him."
"...Mm."
Because Le Zhengsheng returned, the Fu Family was lively and bustling this weekend.
Le Zhengsheng couldn’t go home, he’s now officially Fu Xianlin’s student, following him upon returning.
On Monday, Le Zhengsheng drove Yu Sangwan to work.
The car stopped on Guan Chao Avenue, Yu Sangwan opened the car door and got out, smiling somewhat helplessly, "You don’t need to drive me in the future, I can take the subway or bus."
"No way." Le Zhengsheng got out too, leaning on the car door to talk to her, "Now that I’m back, driving you is my duty."
Yu Sangwan knew she couldn’t persuade him and gave up, shook her head, "I’m going in."
"Message me after work!" Le Zhengsheng reminded her from behind.
Yu Sangwan waved back at him, "Got it!"
Le Zhengsheng watched her back, only getting in the car with a smile after she went inside.
...
Yu Sangwan entered using her fingerprint, since it was still early, she decided to walk to the administration building. After a few steps, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, Helian Si.
Helian Si was out for a morning jog, wearing only a tank top and shorts. He evidently had been running for a while; his bangs were wet and sweat covered him down to his collarbones. At that moment, he was lowering his head, frowning at Yu Sangwan.
"Uh..."
Yu Sangwan was startled, surprised to see Helian Si dressed out of his usual suits, feeling somewhat awkward, "Mr. President."
"..." Helian Si silently smirked and stepped closer and closer to her.
Yu Sangwan unconsciously swallowed, "Good morning!"
"Ha." Helian Si chuckled dryly, looking at her appearance, seeming to have fire in his eyes!
Yu Sangwan could feel he seemed very unhappy. But why? It’s early in the morning, couldn’t be that she offended him, right?
In the end, Helian Si just reached out and tugged her hair, causing her seaweed-like long curls to fall loose again.
After so many times, Yu Sangwan was also annoyed, startlingly glaring at him, "What exactly do you want?"
"I told you! Change your hairstyle!" Helian Si slightly raised his chin, looking serious.
"Huh?" Yu Sangwan laughed, shaking her head, remembering the camera incident.
"Mr. President, I appreciate your kindness, but... I don’t plan on cutting my hair, and I can ask my friends to buy the camera for me."
Hearing this, Helian Si wasn’t sure why, but he became even angrier!
He had just seen Le Zhengsheng dropping her off while jogging along the outer wall! Judging by Le Zhengsheng’s demeanor, their relationship must be special! This girl, how could she say... she was single? No boyfriend?
"Ask friends?"
Helian Si lowered his head, getting close to Yu Sangwan, "Which friend? That guy who dropped you off just now?"
"..." Yu Sangwan was taken aback, shocked beyond words, "You! You saw?"
Helian Si’s focus was completely different from hers, too good at catching nuances, "What do you mean I saw? You’re admitting it now, you lied to me?"
"..." Yu Sangwan’s lips parted slightly, feeling inexplicably confused, "What did I lie to you about?"
"You said you don’t have a boyfriend!"
Helian Si frowned, showing a shallow groove between his brows. He had no experience with women, but at this moment, he felt furious! This feeling, why does it resemble... the husband catching a wife in an affair?
This thought startled him, leaving him staring blankly at Yu Sangwan.
Yu Sangwan wore matte lipstick, irresistibly alluring.
Helian Si stared, feeling only parched, his Adam’s apple kept moving restlessly.
Yu Sangwan didn’t know which regulation she had violated by being single, defensively retorted, "Yes, I said I don’t have a boyfriend, but... Mr. President, can’t I even have suitors?"
Helian Si was taken aback, remembered Ou Guanshen’s words, how could such a smart, beautiful, and capable girl have no suitors?
"If there’s nothing, I need to prepare." Yu Sangwan held back her anger, bowed, and left first.
Helian Si tugged at the towel around his neck, feeling clawed at his heart, extremely restless... What’s happening to him? "Mr. President." Ou Guanshen chuckled, handing the camera in his hand to Helian Si.
Helian Si glanced at it, said nothing, and directly placed it in the cabinet below.
Ou Guanshen saw he had no instructions, "Then, I’ll head out..."
"Wait a moment." Helian Si called him, looking at Ou Guanshen but didn’t know how to start.
