Putting down the glass, Ye Minghan's gaze fell calmly on the girl's hand.

Her little hand was still wrapped in a bandage, and I didn't know how badly it hurt...

His eyes moved slightly, and just as he was about to ask her, An Xin came out of the kitchen with a plate of poached eggs.

She was surprised to see her son sitting at the dining table.

"Hey, why are you here so early today?"

Ye Minghan paused, swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, ignored her, and continued to spread out the newspaper and read it carefully.

An Xin frowned suspiciously.

What's wrong with this kid? Not only did he get up so early, but he also read his dad's newspaper?

Didn’t he say who still reads newspapers these days?

She placed the fried eggs in front of Chi Rui, and when her eyes fell on the girl in a school skirt with a cute and soft smile, she seemed to understand something in an instant.

Hahaha, did this guy get up early just for Ruirui?

She glanced at her son with ill intent, and Ye Minghan's back was slightly stiff, but he didn't show it on his face. He lowered his head and looked at the newspaper intently, his eyes seemed to be glued to it.

An Xin didn't ask any more questions. She asked the maid to prepare another set of tableware for him, and then sat down next to Chi Rui.

"Rui Rui, come and try it." She said to Chi Rui with a smile.

"This is the loving breakfast Auntie An made for you~~"

Yesterday we had a Chinese breakfast, but today we changed to a Western breakfast. Not only was the nutrition balanced, but it was also colorful, fragrant and delicious. It was obvious that An Xin really put a lot of thought into it.

Chi Rui felt a little warm in her heart, "Yeah, thank you Aunt An."

An Xin couldn't help but touch the top of her head, her expression was gentle, and her eyes were full of unspeakable love.

"Oh, by the way, Aunt An."

Thinking of something, Chi Rui said to her while eating, "I can get up by myself tomorrow, you can sleep a little longer."

Ye Minghan's heart moved when he heard this. He raised his eyelashes, but inadvertently met An Xin's teasing gaze.

He paused for a moment, then pretended to be calm, picked up the glass and took another sip of milk.

An Xin covered her mouth and laughed secretly, then looked at Chi Rui and said pitifully: "Rui Rui, don't you like Aunt An to accompany you?"

Chi Rui was stunned and shook his head hurriedly.

"No, I just don't want you to work too hard."

Anyway, when she was at home, she was used to being alone, and she had Uncle Chen and others to accompany her.

"Oh, my little Ruirui is so sweet."

An Xin laughed, hugged her and rubbed her face passionately. Chi Rui did not push her away, but grinned and laughed happily.

Ye Minghan, who was on the opposite side, watched them interacting warmly and completely ignored him. It was fine at first, but then his face became increasingly darker.

Finally, Young Master Ye picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp, then placed the glass heavily on the table.

The noise he made successfully attracted the attention of the two ladies opposite.

Looking at the innocent eyes of the girl, he pursed his lips, looked away and said, "Shouldn't you go to school?"

Chi Rui quickly looked at the time and it was indeed time for her to go to school.

"Ah, I have to go out."

She ate something in a hurry, then stood up and walked out with her bag.

"Rui Rui, wait a moment, I'll take you there." An Xin also stood up.

"No need, just let the driver take you there." Chi Rui waved at her, "Aunt An, Brother Han, I'll leave first."

Ye Minghan watched her back disappear at the door, clenching and unclenching his fists.

Forget it. I have to pick her up from school in the afternoon anyway, so it doesn’t matter if I spend this little time there.

An Xin sent Chi Rui out the door, and when she turned around to see her son's icy face, she couldn't help but feel disappointed in him.

"If you want it, be more proactive. If you keep it in your heart all day, who will know what you are thinking?" She walked over and sat down opposite him, speaking earnestly.

Ye Minghan glanced at her coldly without saying a word. He folded the newspaper and went upstairs.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

"Change clothes."

After saying these three words, he left without looking back, leaving Anxin standing there, extremely angry.

Chi Rui came to the door of the classroom and suddenly remembered something. She gently grabbed the strap of her backpack with her small hand, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the door and walked in.

Looking around, the last row of seats in the next group was empty; its owner had not arrived yet.

Chi Rui breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Xingyang was not around.

She walked slowly back to her seat, sat down, and greeted her deskmate Sheng Qingle with a smile.

Sheng Qingle noticed that her hands and knees were wrapped in bandages and couldn't help but frowned.

"Rui Rui, are you okay?" she asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's okay, I just fell accidentally, don't think too much about it."

Sheng Qingle frowned even more tightly, "What am I overthinking? Is it..."

Her voice suddenly lowered, and she whispered Jiang Xingyang's name into Chi Rui's ear. She looked cautious, and it was obvious that she was very afraid of Dongxuan's leader.

Chi Rui shook her head. The one who pushed her was not Jiang Xingyang, but another boy she didn't know.

"I'll tell you during the break," she whispered.

Sheng Qingle had no choice but to nod and stop questioning her. He then took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and placed it in front of her.

"Hey, eat some candy, and you'll feel better."

Chi Rui couldn't help but curl her eyes, pinched the candy in her palm, and smiled sweetly at her, "Le Le, you are so nice."

Sheng Qingle patted his chest, feeling confident and proud.

"That's right, I am Sheng Qingle, the most beautiful girl in the universe!"

But Chi Rui hadn't laughed yet, she herself was amused by this second-year speech. The two laughed for a while, and then the class representative went to the podium to lead the reading, and they slowly took out their textbooks.

Chi Rui turned the page of the book, then quietly peeled off the candy wrapper and put the fruit candy into his mouth.

Tasting the sweet taste, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and her uneasy mood was indeed much better.

Until the end of the first three classes and the break time, Jiang Xingyang and his deskmate did not come to class. However, it was common for them to skip classes and be late, and few people cared.

Afraid of being heard by the annoying Ying Chengxin, Sheng Qingle dragged Chi Rui to the rooftop. After listening to her story, he was filled with indignation.

"This guy is so shameless! Whoever he likes must be with him? He wants you to have trouble getting along in Xuancheng? How shameless! Does he think all of Xuancheng belongs to him?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. "No, go back to the classroom first. I'll get you some help. Let's see if he dares to block you after school!"

Before Chi Rui could stop her, she ran away and could not be stopped even by shouting.

She had no choice but to go downstairs alone.

What she didn't see was that the dark blue hem of the skirt that was exposed behind the other wall of the rooftop moved slightly.

When I was going down the stairs, a girl came towards me. She was holding a bunch of snacks in her arms and running upstairs hurriedly.

When passing by Chi Rui, the girl suddenly turned her head and glanced at her, as if she recognized her.

Chi Rui couldn't help but stop, and the girl had already passed her by.

There was a light "click" sound, Chi Rui looked back and found that a bag of potato chips fell out of the girl's arms.

The girl was also looking back, with a look of distress on her face.

Chi Rui took a few steps forward, picked up the potato chips that fell on the stairs, and handed them back to her, "Classmate, these are your potato chips."

Her voice is soft and her smile is peaceful, like a pretty and gentle little fairy.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips uncomfortably and walked down a few steps, allowing her to put the bag of potato chips on the pile of snacks.

"Thank you."

Lin Yushuang murmured two words, then turned around and ran upstairs quickly, pushed the door open and left the rooftop.

Chi Rui looked at her back, tilted his head, then turned and left.

She returned to the classroom and waited for Sheng Qingle to come back while reading a book, but in the end, the girl who came back was a girl with a conflicted look on her face.

Chi Rui thought that the "helpers" were unwilling to come, so she comforted him, "Thank you, Lele. If it doesn't work, forget it..."

"It's not impossible..." Sheng Qingle scratched his head, "It's just that there is no need."

Chi Rui blinked, a little confused.

"Do you know why Jiang Xingyang didn't come today?" Sheng Qingle sat down and said to her mysteriously.

Chi Rui: “Why?”

"Because Jiang Xingyang and his brothers are all in the hospital."

Speaking of this, Sheng Qingle felt relieved. "I heard that he broke several ribs. He will definitely not be able to come to school for a while."

Chi Rui was most afraid of pain, so when he heard that several ribs were broken, he shuddered.

"Did something happen? Car accident?" she asked in a low voice.

"No, it seems like I was interrupted by someone."

Chi Rui couldn't help but widen his eyes. Who was so powerful that he could break someone's ribs?

"Well, that's it."

In the office, Ye Minghan flipped through the latest project plan, nodded with satisfaction, and signed his name on the last page.

The signature pen leaves a black mark on the white paper.

Cen Shen watched nervously, his palms sweating.

This project proposal has been shelved for more than a month, and each time it was sent back for redo due to one problem or another. This time, Mr. Xiao Ye finally agreed, and he felt relieved at last.

But... the boss seems to be in a good mood today?

Although he still had a calm expression, after following him for a while, Cen Shen could barely read his emotions from his subtle expressions.

Cen Shen was a little distracted, his eyes fell on Ye Minghan's hand signing. From his angle, he could vaguely see a small piece of beige Band-Aid.

There is a cute little bear printed on the Band-Aid, and pink flowers dotted around it.

God knows how distorted his expression was when he accidentally saw it this morning? He really didn't expect that his stern and cold boss could have such a girly side!

"Do you have anything else to say?" Ye Minghan's cold voice sounded.

Cen Shen then came to his senses and found that Ye Minghan had already signed the project plan and threw it on the desk in front of him.

"No, no, I'll go out first."

"etc."

Cen Shen quickly stopped and waited for his instructions.

But Young Master Ye did not speak immediately. He leaned back in his chair, his brows furrowed, and his fingertips tapped unconsciously on the armrest, which was a small movement he made when thinking.

Thinking that he had some important instructions, Cen Shen straightened his back and listened attentively.

However, in the end, he heard the man behind the desk ask in a particularly complicated tone: "Cen Shen, do you...remember what happened when you were five or six years old?"

Author has something to say: Cen Shen: Why is the boss' tone so complicated? Is there any memory between us that I have forgotten? Could it be that... [Frightened jg] Ye Minghan: I was not born when you were five or six years old, thank you = =
