He Xiao never expected that the first thing his biological father said when he returned was not to ask about his condition, but to ask about his aunt!
A sense of rebellion welled up inside him, and He Xiao gave a cold laugh: "I don't know. If you want to know about me and Lin Yue, why don't you go ask her yourself? Or is it that President He is too embarrassed to ask?"
After he finished speaking, the study fell silent again, so quiet that even their breathing could not be heard. He Liyu just stared at him calmly.
He Xiao was annoyed by this situation, not because of the pressure, but because of the frustration. He even wished that his father could have a fair argument with him instead of watching him go crazy, as if he had ADHD.
"Are you calm now? Continue." He Liyu was very calm. It could be said that nothing could arouse his emotions at the moment, except for one person, and only that one person.
"Your allowance will double next month."
He Xiao: ...
Who understands the feeling of punching cotton?
"She came to me herself. She came to me with a broken phone and not even a thousand yuan in her bag. Don't you think she's bold?" Haha, he definitely didn't say all this because of the doubled allowance next month!
...
Unaware of the situation upstairs, Shen Linyue found even the dessert she was eating tasteless, and her mood had shifted from initial tension to numbness.
Just as she was blankly eating her third bite, He Xiao came downstairs, his footsteps sounding quite cheerful.
Shen Linyue lifted her eyelids and glanced at He Xiao. When he saw her looking over, he immediately stopped smiling and walked over to sit down on the sofa next to her.
"Your father is He Liyu?" Shen Linyue asked quietly.
He Xiao had just taken out his phone when he heard this, and without even raising his eyelids, he asked, "Who else in Beishi has a family surnamed He that's this rich?"
This was not an exaggeration on his part; the He family has always been very wealthy.
Shen Linyue felt a lump in her throat. How could she know? She had only been here for two days and hadn't even figured out how to use a smartphone yet! Where was she supposed to find out who He Xiao's rich father was?
"I should have asked earlier..." It seemed that even if she had asked, she would have nowhere to go in this huge city of Taipei and could only go home with He Xiao.
Shen Linyue sighed deeply once again.
He Xiao was confused and didn't hear her muttering softly.
"What are you talking about?" He paused for a moment and said, "Oh right, the old man wants you to go to his study."
Both of them were acting strangely tonight. They insisted on asking him to come upstairs and explain, but before they could even explain why, they made him go downstairs to call Lin Yue.
"Old man?" Shen Linyue's expression went blank for a moment. The handsome face that made it impossible to guess his age appeared in her mind. How could he be associated with an old man? A bead of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
"Why did he call me up there?" Although she didn't want to admit it, Shen Linyue had a feeling that the other party had seen through her after just two encounters outside.
Is she supposed to go up there and confront them? How is she supposed to explain what happened to her?
Should I just say I'm from another time? Won't I get sent to a mental hospital?
He Xiao had already opened the game. Hearing this, he glanced at her and sneered, "What else could it be? They probably want to send you home."
Shen Linyue: ...
Looking at her son's profile, she realized for the first time that her son seemed rather simple-minded.
No wonder he's at the bottom of the class.
Shen Linyue forced a smile, glanced at the stairs, took a few deep breaths, and then, with the mindset of a hero going to his execution, laboriously stepped up the stairs.
Then, remembering something, she turned back to He Xiao with a bitter expression and said, "Nephew, if you hear any noise upstairs, you must come and save me!"
The tone was quite tragic.
He Xiao: ?
nerve.
His dad won't eat people, what's there to be afraid of?
He Xiao gave a perfunctory "uh-huh" and then ignored her, focusing on playing the game.
He Liyu's study was on the third floor. When she went up, the study door was not closed. She wondered if it was left open specifically for her.
Looking at the door that was so close, Shen Linyue struggled internally, but she quickly arrived at the study door no matter how slowly she walked.
She peeked inside cautiously and saw a man sitting behind a desk, intently looking at his computer screen.
He is different now than he was just now. He is serious and focused, with a pair of frameless glasses perched on his nose, making him appear more ascetic.
Shen Linyue swallowed nervously, having to admit that her nemesis was truly handsome.
As for the old man that Hao Da'er mentioned, he doesn't exist at all. You can't even see a wrinkle at the corner of his eye. She would believe him if he said he was 30 years old.
Perhaps hearing the commotion outside the door, He Liyu looked up and met Shen Linyue's peeking eyes. The study was silent, and neither of them spoke first.
Shen Linyue felt her hair stand on end from the all-knowing look in the other person's eyes, and she wanted to say something but dared not.
There was no way around it; he was no longer the mortal enemy he once was. One look from him was enough to make her submit and kneel before him. The pressure was too great.
"Come here, sit down." He Liyu noticed her nervousness and fear, and his voice softened unconsciously.
As Shen Linyue listened to his words and was about to walk over, He Liyu spoke again, "Close the door."
Shen Linyue: ...
Seriously? Isn't this inappropriate for a lone man and woman to be alone together?
Hehe, she would never admit that she was afraid, but that she was afraid the other party would kill her to silence her.
Despite her hesitation, she closed the door and carefully walked to the sofa furthest from him to sit down.
"What is it? Just say it, I'm listening."
He Liyu watched as she rubbed her fingers together in fear, and the smile in his eyes almost materialized.
If he had only been 80% certain that she was Shen Linyue during their previous meeting, he would now be 95% certain. He had reservations about the remaining 5%.
"Don't be afraid, I don't eat people, and I won't do anything to you." He Liyu felt a bitter taste in his mouth. "Can you tell me how you got here, A-Yue?"
He spoke the last two words, "A-Yue," softly and tenderly, and his already deep voice gave Shen Linyue goosebumps.
Help! Who could have imagined how terrifying it would be to hear the name 'Ah Yue' from my mortal enemy?!
After her initial nervousness subsided, Shen Linyue calmed down. This question of how he addressed her made her think deeply. Was he calling her Shen Linyue, or was he referring to her as Lin Yue?
She knew that He Liyu was definitely not as easy to fool as He Xiao, and that he had probably already investigated her thoroughly when she entered the He family.
Shen Linyue rubbed her fingers together, carefully choosing her words: "You're asking where you're from? Don't you know?"
Let him and her play riddles; she can do it too.
He Liyu looked at her with his deep black eyes, and couldn't help but want to laugh when he heard what she said.
He's still just a child; his little thoughts are written all over his face. He shook his head helplessly.
"How long will you stay here?" He continued to stare at her.
Shen Linyue: ...
How long she can stay is anyone's guess, as long as he doesn't send her abroad...
Realizing something, Shen Linyue's eyelids twitched, and she looked up to meet his smiling and gentle eyes.
"I have no idea."
He knew she was Shen Lin Yue, not Lin Yue!
