After dinner, the two little ones each sat on one side of the sofa, playing on their phones without disturbing each other.
During this time, Shen Linyue kept pestering the boy to add him on WeChat. The boy's profile picture was a black and white photo of a boy showing off his arm muscles. Even when Shen Linyue zoomed in on the picture, he couldn't tell if the person in the photo was He Xiao himself.
Now, He Xiao is the only person on her WeChat. To figure out the purpose of WeChat, she sent a period to her only contact.
He Xiao was in the middle of a crucial moment in the game, almost getting a pentakill, when a WeChat notification popped up: his skill had missed, and the opponent had killed him instantly.
He Xiao: !!!
"Lin Yue! Are you looking for death?!"
The boy's voice was loud, startling Shen Linyue. She innocently met He Xiao's furious glare.
"I'm not deaf, why are you shouting so loudly? Are you trying to see who can shout the loudest?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, the butler brought them ice cream dessert.
"Miss Lin Yue, please have some dessert." He was genuinely afraid that the young master would get angry and hit Miss Lin Yue.
Lin Yue is a girl, how could she stand it! The housekeeper was ashamed, these two little devils were like firecrackers, they would ignite at the slightest touch.
Shen Linyue quickly shifted her gaze, her eyes shining. He Xiao, seeing her reaction, curled his lip in disdain, "Pig!"
All they care about is eating; aren't they just pigs?
If she goes out, who will be able to support her?
Shen Linyue gave him an elegant smile, "You little brat who doesn't know how to enjoy life! I won't stoop to your level."
"Who are you calling a little kid? How old do you think you are? You're not even as tall as me, what are you so arrogant about?" He Xiao retorted immediately, not one to tolerate such behavior.
The butler, standing to the side trying his best to maintain a smile: ...He's about to lose it!
Shen Linyue took a big bite of her ice cream and glared at He Xiao's profile as he played on his phone.
She gave birth to a rebellious son! A rebellious son who dares to talk back to his own mother! He deserves to be struck by lightning! Hmph!
The atmosphere became tense, and the two little devils didn't say a word until 8:30 p.m.
Shen Linyue put down her phone and went outside to look at the night sky. There were not as many stars in the sky as there were in her time, but the lights at night were much more dazzling.
She really liked the city lights in the distance. The He family manor was in a good location, with a view of the city lights but not too far from the city.
Shen Linyue was wearing a pink, thin, fleece-lined onesie with a cute little tail at the back. Her long, slightly wavy hair cascaded down her back, and she wore a pink headband that revealed her smooth, full forehead.
She stood quietly under the warm yellow light, letting the night breeze tousle her long hair, a contented smile on her face, her large eyes seemingly bathed in a radiant glow that shone brightly in the night.
When He Liyu entered the courtyard, she saw this scene: her lovely and vibrant appearance was just as vivid as the one deep in her memory.
He thought he had forgotten, but at this moment, those memories hidden deep in his heart broke through the ground.
His mind was filled with her every smile and frown. He longed to go up to her, grab her, and tell her about his longing over the years. But when he looked at her young face and innocent features, the excitement He Liyu had felt since seeing those photos vanished.
The housekeeper couldn't find Shen Linyue in the living room. Fearing she might catch a cold from wearing too little clothing, he decided to go out and remind her. Just as he reached the door, he saw that unexpected figure appear in the courtyard, standing there staring intently in the direction of Miss Linyue.
"gentlemen!"
The butler's excited voice broke the silence of the night, and Shen Linyue immediately came to her senses and saw the tall and straight figure not far away.
The man was dressed in a suit and tie, and even his hair was meticulously styled with hair wax, revealing a refined and impeccable yet mature face.
She recognized that face all too well; it overlapped with the aloof and handsome young man from her memory. Shen Linyue felt as if she had been struck by a sudden blow to the heart, and she froze on the spot.
The boy I remember has now grown into a grown man, taller and more imposing than before. Even though he just stands there quietly, his presence is impossible to ignore.
It's him! He Xiao's biological father really is him!
At this moment, Shen Linyue's mind went completely blank.
She had fantasized about the man many times, only to have her own ideas rejected. Before she could even ask He Xiao about his biological father, that man had already appeared before her.
He is both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Sir, why are you back? I didn't receive any notification. Have you had dinner yet? I'll go ask Chef Zhang to make you something to eat."
The butler's incessant chatter interrupted their exchange of glances.
Shen Linyue only heard that deep, magnetic, yet steady voice.
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Xiao."
After saying that, he took a few long strides to her side. He seemed to pause for a second but didn't stop. His deep, dark eyes calmly swept across her face before he brushed past her and went inside.
When He Xiao heard the butler outside say the word "sir," he quickly hid his phone, his face extremely grim.
Why is he back at this hour? Could it be that he found out what he did at school this afternoon and came back specifically to scold him?
He Xiao was very indignant. He had done nothing wrong! Why was he in such a hurry to come back to scold him and make him apologize to that brat Jiang Zhixing?
After imagining it all, He Xiao was so angry that his face turned cold. He even started thinking about where he would sleep tonight after a big fight.
However, none of what he had imagined happened. The first thing He Liyu said to him after entering the room was, "Come to my office."
He said that and strode upstairs without even stopping.
He Xiao: ? ? ?
That's it?
He's not his subordinate, so why does he always talk to him like that?
Why should he listen to him? If he's so capable, he should say it right here in the living room.
He Xiao reluctantly stood up, and even kicked the sofa in frustration.
When Shen Linyue belatedly returned to the living room, neither the father nor the son were there. She was now trembling with nervousness.
Watching the beaming housekeeper head to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Shen Linyue could only sit on the sofa, lost in thought.
How could it be him? He Xiao's father is actually him!
What was my future self thinking, actually marrying my mortal enemy!
The things He Liyu had done in the past kept flashing through my mind, and then I connected them with him now.
Shen Linyue's resentment vanished; all she wanted to do was scream and cover her head, or find a place to hide herself.
This is absolutely devastating! She can't accept it yet.
He Xiao went to the study with the intention of having a big fight, expecting another bloody battle, but to his surprise, the other party just sat on the sofa in the study and glanced at him casually.
The first question they asked was, "How did you meet her? Tell me everything."
He Xiao was completely stunned. "Huh? Who is it?"
Looking at his simple-minded son, He Liyu patiently repeated, "Lin Yue, I need to know how you two met."
