Chapter 588: Split Personality?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As soon as Da Bao stepped out of the door and saw Shen Xiaoxiao, she pounced on her. Who knew how much Little Treasure wanted to pounce on her, but he endured and resisted. In the end, he turned around and pounced on the side of Long Xi’s legs. He imitated Da Bao and gave Long Xi a big hug.
This kid was usually cool, but he didn’t pounce on him like this even the first time he saw him. Was he led astray by this little girl today?
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Little Treasure. Although the child didn’t pounce on her, she naturally understood what the child meant. Her heart ached terribly. She squatted down naturally and stretched out her hand towards Little Treasure. This time, Little Treasure understood and pounced on Shen Xiaoxiao. Although he didn’t call her ‘Mommy’, this action of his was that of a happy family.
Da Bao was very smart. When she saw Little Treasure’s action, she ran over and pounced on Long Xi’s thigh. This time, Long Xi finally recovered from his shock. It turned out that children were all like this.
“Today is Da Bao’s birthday. Let’s go together.”
Da Bao and Little Treasure walked in the middle, holding hands. Shen Xiaoxiao and Long Xi walked beside the two children respectively. This family of four looked very warm no matter how one looked at it.
Yan Kuan, who was standing in the distance, watched this scene, and the anger in his heart burned even more intensely…
“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you…”
After blowing out the candles, the two children screamed in excitement. Long Xi knew that the two children were in the same class and had a very good relationship with each other, so he naturally thought that this was an arrangement made by the secret guard. He even felt that the secret guard had finally done something that he was satisfied with.
“President Long, do you want to take a family photo?”
They did not sit in the private room. After all, it was the children’s birthday, so they sat near the children’s area, so everyone could naturally see them.
The manager was also trying to suck up to them. He did not think that they were not a family.
Neither Shen Xiaoxiao nor Long Xi liked taking photos. In their line of work, taking photos was also taboo. However, the two children were as excited as if they had been injected with stimulants.
Shen Xiaoxiao did not say anything. After all, she did not know if she should agree to this request. Although the two children begged pitifully, she still kept her mouth shut and did not say anything.
On the other hand, Long Xi did not know what he was thinking. Seeing the two little fellows speak to Shen Xiaoxiao in such a rare manner, he said, “Do you want to take a picture? After all, it’s the child’s birthday. What does Xiaoxiao think?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect Long Xi to actually agree. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded and said, “Okay.”
This was the first group photo of the family of four. Although each of them had their own thoughts, this family photo that they had waited for five years was finally available.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the photo in her hand. In the photo, Long Xi was still as serious as ever. Now that she had seen it, whether it was Long Xi or Yan Kuan, they were actually just so-so.
“Mommy, can we go to the amusement park to play?”
“Daddy, can we go to the amusement park to play?”
Shen Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at Long Xi. Long Xi also raised his head to look at her. He spoke before Shen Xiaoxiao, “Yes, but not now. When Little Treasure comes back, the three of you can go together.”
Hearing Long Xi’s words, Little Treasure, Da Bao, and Shen Xiaoxiao stopped talking at the same time. Little Treasure was right there. This Long Xi was really stupid. Did he not notice the tacit understanding between Da Bao and Little Treasure at all?
“It’s getting late. We should go back.”
Da Bao was nestled in Long Xi’s arms. No, to be precise, the two children were both held in Long Xi’s arms. His arms were strong, and each of his arms was holding a child in his arms. The more he looked at them, the more he looked like a loving father.
“1, send An An back.”
“Miss, let me send Da Bao back.”
19 was very tactful. This time, he did not care whether Shen Xiaotong agreed or not and went forward to carry the child in his arms.
Seeing 19 like this, for the first time, Long Xi felt that little 19 was pretty good. He immediately said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “I have something better to discuss with Xiaoxiao. It’s a good opportunity to seize the day. What do you think, Xiaoxiao?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them with curious eyes. In the end, she couldn’t bear to have anything unpleasant happen between her and Long Xi in front of the children. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
Everyone left separately. Shen Xiaoxiao got into Long Xi’s car. She had already guessed what Long Xi wanted to say to her. After waiting for so long, even if Long Xi wasn’t in a hurry, Han Jia would have been impatient long ago.
The venue had already been changed to another club. As soon as she entered, Shen Xiaoxiao ignored Long Xi’s puzzled gaze and ordered a table full of dishes from the waiter.
She had only eaten for less than an hour, and she was already hungry? Wasn’t this a little too fast?
However, no matter how many questions he had, he did not forget the first time he saw Shen Xiaoxiao like this. Shen Xiaoxiao had told him about her muscle weakness, and it seemed that it was still very serious.
He was very patient, especially since he had to negotiate with Shen Xiaoxiao this time, so Long Xi was very patient and waited there.
Shen Xiaoxiao moved very quickly. Long Xi waited on her. After eating and drinking his fill, Long Xi finally told her what he wanted to say.
“What makes you think that I will agree to your request?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Long Xi and smiled mockingly.
Long Xi knew that it would not be so easy to convince Shen Xiaoxiao, but he still said:
“The Shen family’s secret fund cannot be kept. Even if it is not me today, there are others who will move against you. Perhaps their methods will be even more crazy, including your Yan Kuan, who may also start to have that idea. Rather than being in a passive state in the future, wouldn’t it be better to have the initiative in your own hands?”
Long Xi had spared no effort in persuading Shen Xiaoxiao. Shen Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, looked at Long Xi and asked casually, “Last night, I saw Boss Long and Yan Kuan walking together in Lan Guifang. I wonder if what you’re talking about is related to my Shen family’s secret fund?”
“You mean last night?”
Faced with Shen Xiaoxiao’s sudden question, Long Xi did not come back to his senses for a long time. He gently pinched the silver spoon in his hand and his head began to hurt again, and he even felt a little sleepy. A bad premonition arose in Long Xi’s heart…
Shen Xiaoxiao did not notice Long Xi’s movements. She had already stood up and walked to the windowsill. It was almost October, and the weather was already a little chilly.
Looking at the flickering streetlights in the distance, such a peaceful day was really rare. It was likely that she would have to face the rain of blood and carnage all day long.
Long Xi reminded her that Yan Kuan was not her Yan Kuan. He was probably also after the Shen family’s life-saving fund. What would she do then?
“Long Xi?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect that Long Xi would fall asleep after she turned around and looked out of the window for a moment? Shaking his head, Long Xi opened his eyes and suddenly looked at Shen Xiaoxiao face to face. Almost, Shen Xiaoxiao thought that she had seen Yan Kuan. His eyes were filled with love and pity when he saw her. They were filled with love and affection.
However, she knew that Yan Kuan, who had already lost his memory, would not have such a gaze. She must have seen it wrong.
When Shen Xiaoxiao saw that Yan Kuan had woken up, she stood up straight and walked to the sofa at the side to sit down. She was ready to continue the conversation with Long Xi, but she had yet to speak when Long Xi suddenly stood up and walked towards her. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her without any warning. He kissed her deeply….
