Later, Si Borong came back, resigned from the position of president of MR Group, and made a will to leave the house with nothing. He became a playboy and indulged in women.
And Si Lijue, who had just reached adulthood, took his place.
The recollection ended, Si Lijue regained his composure, a faint smile spread across his lips, he didn't say yes or no, but the warmth in his sharp eyes said it all.
"Uncle Xu, long time no see." Si Lijue greeted Xu Xurong gracefully, "How are you?"
When saying this, Si Lijue tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction of Mu Baoer and Lu Qianwen.
"Same old." Xu Xurong's expression was helpless yet doting, his deep eyes shone with stars, and he said with a slight curve of his lips, "This is also good."
Si Lijue pursed his thin lips.
Xu Xurong added: "As long as she is happy all her life, I will be content."
"Uncle Xu..."
"I'm happy to see you have a girlfriend today. I won't mention anything else."
Xu Xurong waved his hand to interrupt Si Lijue, then extended his hand toward him, "Let me hold the bag. Did you drive here?"
Si Lijue handed over the bag and took the suitcase he was pulling. He nodded and said, "Well, it's just that the driver is driving and is already waiting. I have reserved a seat at Rongsheng. Let's go together."
Xu Xurong didn't delay, "Okay."
It took an hour to walk from the airport to Rongsheng, and it was around three o'clock when we finished eating.
Maybe because she slept too much on the plane, Lu Qianwen didn’t feel sleepy at all and was very energetic.
She glanced at the time, sent Si Lijue and Xu Xurong back, and took Mu Baoer shopping.
Upon hearing this, Mu Baoer's heart trembled, and she immediately turned her gaze to Si Lijue, "Save me!"
Although Lu Qianwen was very warm, easy to talk to and get along with, it was their first meeting after all. She asked Mu Baoer to accompany her shopping, especially as her future daughter-in-law. Mu Baoer was really scared!
Si Lijue knew Mu Baoer's personality. She seemed carefree and liked to joke around, but she was actually delicate and sensitive.
Therefore, without Mu Baoer saying anything, Si Lijue considerately pulled Mu Baoer out of her arms, put one arm around Mu Baoer's waist, and pushed Lu Qianwen to Xu Xurong's side with the other hand, refusing without hesitation, "No, Baoer has to accompany me."
“…”
Lu Qianwen's eyes widened, and she pinched her waist with both hands, "It's okay if you don't accompany me shopping, but now I finally have a daughter-in-law who can be beautiful with me, and you actually stop me?!"
Si Lijue nodded and said in a very domineering manner, "Bao'er is mine."
Lu Qianwen: “…”
Mu Baoer also pinched his waist and said, "You can be more tactful!"
Si Lijue said, "Miss Lu, if you want to go shopping, you can ask Uncle Xu to accompany you. Baoer has to protect me closely and can't leave."
When Si Lijue spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words "close" and "protect".
Lu Qianwen looked over in surprise.
Mu Baoer's face turned red, and she secretly poked Si Lijue, "Brother, can you speak?"
She really wanted to find a piece of tofu to bump into.
Under Lu Qianwen's scrutiny, Mu Baoer opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Xu Xurong behind her said in a gentle tone:
"Miss, you just got off the plane and haven't adjusted to the jet lag yet. If you want to go shopping, let's do it another day. I'm sure Miss Baoer will be happy to accompany you."
As soon as Xu Xurong joined in, Lu Qianwen's attitude softened instantly. She waved her hands and said, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you young people's love. I'm going back to sleep first. I'm so sleepy."
As she spoke, she yawned, her watery eyes red.
Mu Baoer thought for a moment and said, "Li Jue and I will take you there."
"No, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll get a room nearby and take a nap first." Lu Qianwen said, then took Mu Baoer's hand and said expectantly, "Baoer, when I'm well rested, you must go shopping with me. I've always wanted to have a daughter, but unfortunately these two disappointing ones are both male!"
Listening to her words, Mu Baoer nodded awkwardly and said, "Sure."
After seeing off Lu Qianwen and Xu Xurong, Si Lijue took Mu Baoer to the car. Seeing her hesitant expression, he understood and hugged her, saying, "Miss Lu likes to be straightforward. You don't need to beat around the bush when talking to her."
So that's how it is, Mu Baoer suddenly realized.
"I'm sorry, Baoer. I didn't tell you before. It was my negligence." Si Lijue looked apologetic.
Mu Baoer shook her head, "No, you did very well."
Indeed, whether meeting or at the dinner table, Si Lijue takes good care of himself.
If Si Lijue wasn't afraid of embarrassing himself, he probably wouldn't have said so much given his personality.
His warmth, needless to say, is all in his actions.
Mu Baoer curled up the corners of her mouth, leaned into Si Lijue's arms, and murmured softly, "Thank you."
Si Lijue leaned over and kissed her forehead.
The driver in front was smart enough to raise the soundproofing board and drive without looking around.
After returning home, Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan immediately ran up to her, each holding one of her thighs, and said jokingly with a smile: "Mommy, you're back. Did you enjoy your first meeting with your future mother-in-law?"
"You clever little bastards, you're the only ones who know so much." Mu Bao'er doted on her and scolded her while sitting on the sofa. "I'm thirsty. Go get Mommy that glass of water."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoche and Mu Xiaohan turned around and left, taking the mineral water, juice, and milk, as well as some melon seeds and nuts. It seemed that they were ready to listen to gossip.
Mu Baoer: "..."
Mu Baoer shook her head, took the water that Mu Xiaoche had squeezed out, took a sip to moisten her throat, and then said, "Ask whatever you want to ask."
You can ask, but I may not answer.
After battling wits and courage with her son for so many years, Mu Baoer is also very clever and shrewd.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaohan immediately followed and asked curiously, "Mommy, is your mother-in-law like the ones in TV dramas, ugly, fierce, and unruly?"
Mu Baoer: “…” I told you not to watch so many melodramatic idol dramas!
Before Mu Baoer could speak, Mu Xiaohan narrowed his eyes and quickly took out five packets of unknown medicinal powder. "If that's the case, Xiaohan will help you vent your anger! With Xiaohan here, no one can bully my mommy!"
Mu Baoer's heart warmed.
She rubbed Mu Xiaohan's chubby face, looked at Mu Xiaoche who was also worried, and said, "You think too much, she's fine."
"Mommy said it's okay, that's good. Then I feel relieved. Xiaohan will definitely get along well with her." Mu Xiaohan showed his big white teeth and stuffed the powder back into his pocket.
Mu Xiaoche also breathed a sigh of relief. Her mommy was so outstanding, there must be many people who liked her. Those who didn’t like her were blind!
But in fact, Mu Baoer was not as relaxed as they thought.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that although Lu Qianwen was approachable, she was still a little reserved towards her.
What could it be?
Mu Baoer pressed her eyebrows.
