Chapter 22 Chapter 22
"Uncle Zhong, where's Chen Xun?"
Lian Xufeng hurried to the hall. Uncle Zhong followed Lian Xufeng all the way and took the suit jacket handed to him by the other party.
"He slept."
"Slept?" Lian Xufeng looked back at Uncle Zhong and raised his eyebrows in surprise. "It's just six o'clock now."
Uncle Zhong's face was calm and without any emotion. "Maybe he was tired from chatting and having afternoon tea with his wife in the afternoon."
Lian Xufeng understood. He knew his mother's personality very well.
The tall Alpha walked into the restaurant, opened his arms, and gave Mo Qiao a warm hug at the seat.
"Mom."
"Son." Mo Qiao rubbed Lian Xufeng's cheek with a smile, then narrowed her eyes in dissatisfaction and pinched him hard, "You look quite strong..."
She was hinting at something, obviously saying that Lian Xufeng ate and drank well, but didn't notice the gradually thinning Chen Xun.
Lian Xufeng's straightforwardness didn't understand Mo Qiao's subtext at all. He sat on the chair and took a sip of ice drink, and smiled and said, "Of course, I exercise every day."
Mo Qiao made a face at him, then turned to ask Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, where is Xunxun? Ask him to come for dinner."
"Chen Xun is asleep." Lian Xufeng answered first, "Ask the kitchen to leave a portion of food for each of him, and heat it up when he wakes up."
The family finally got together for a meal.
Lian Xufeng has Wei Ming and has bought an apartment outside; Lian Yan and Mo Qiao are both busy managing the huge Lian Group and are unable to spare time; Lian Xuyu is studying and has a lot of free time, but she has many friends and has parties every day, so she doesn't go home often.
In fact, the people who stay in this house the longest are Zhongbo and Chen Xun.
Mo Qiao couldn't bear to see Zhongbo serve them to finish their meal, so she sent Zhongbo and the kitchen lady to eat early, saying that she wanted to talk about some private matters.
But today, she does have a lot of questions to ask.
"Afeng." Mo Qiao put down her chopsticks, "Do you know how Xunxun came back today?"
Lian Xufeng raised his head. Although he was not sensitive to emotional matters, he always thought a little more about Chen Xun's affairs.
He knew that Chen Xun left with Bai Xiu Ze today.
"His senior sent him back, right?" Lian Xufeng also put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a clean hot towel.
Mo Qiao looked incredulous, "You know?!"
You knew that you could let someone else send Xun Xun back? !
"Mom, that person is the blind date that Uncle Zhong introduced to Chen Xun." Lian Xufeng took a deep breath.
He was about to suppress the anger in his heart.
When he was at work in the afternoon, he persuaded himself again and again that Chen Xun was free and he could find his own love.
And Bai Xiu Ze, although not a perfect lover, they are just friends at present, and he has no reason to stop the two from dating.
Mo Qiao saw the knot in his son's heart and lowered his eyes sadly, "I think they have a good relationship."
Lian Xufeng's hands under the table were throbbing with veins.
He hated Bai Xiuze and the other party's hypocrisy and shameless approach to Chen Xun.
But he didn't want to go too far, because Chen Xun would be angry and sad.
Today was just a small conflict, and Chen Xun fainted. Lian Xufeng really didn't want to continue to make Chen Xun unhappy.
He could only suppress the anger in his heart and pretend to be indifferent.
"I'm full. I'll go back to my room first."
Mo Qiao couldn't stop Lian Xufeng. She held her husband's hand and muttered, "How could this happen..."
Lian Yan stroked his wife's hair and comforted her softly, "Since you can't be husband and wife, it's right to keep your distance."
The children have grown up. It's time to accept reality and the inevitable pain in their lives.

Lian Xufeng stood under the sycamore tree in the garden.
He couldn't help but raise his head and look at a room with a closed window on the second floor.
That was Chen Xun's room. It
was the room where he sneaked in countless times and slept with Chen Xun.
When Chen Xun first came to the Lian family, he was very timid and would only cry secretly when he had nightmares at night.
Once he climbed up this sycamore tree, and saw Chen Xun lying on the desk, crying and hiccuping. His pitiful appearance made people's hearts ache.
From then on, Lian Xufeng would sneak into Chen Xun's room at night, hold Chen Xun to sleep, and wait until Chen Xun fell asleep, and then sneak back to his own room.
Later, the matter was discovered by his parents and Zhong Bo. With the "help" of Lian Yan and Mo Qiao, Lian Xufeng finally got the qualification to hold Chen Xun to sleep openly.
Alpha's hand was on the rough sycamore tree trunk. Time passed, and he hadn't climbed this tree for a long time.
He had forgotten what Chen Xun's hazy eyes looked like.
Lian Xufeng stared at the sycamore tree in front of him and unbuttoned his cuffs.

"Dad, I'm pregnant."
"What did you say?!"
"I, I'm pregnant..."
"You actually did such a dirty thing! You shameless guy, I should have let you fend for yourself in the orphanage!"
Chen Xun was surprised by his adoptive father's anger. Although his adoptive father would punish and teach him a lesson before, he had never been so angry.
"From now on, you are not allowed to go out, contact anyone, and stay here!"
The cell phone was taken away, and the door of the room was locked. Chen Xun sat on the bed, without turning on the lights or opening the windows. The dark room was like an iron fence, locking him up, along with his heart.
He was such a selfish person.
He could have quickly gotten rid of the child, pretending nothing had happened, and let everything return to normal.
But he wanted this child and told his adoptive father...
Maybe he hoped that his adoptive father would support him in keeping the child.
Chen Xun sighed and fell on his back on the bed without any resistance.
The father was so excited before he even knew that the child's father was Lian Xufeng. What if he knew?
Chen Xun didn't dare to think about it. He looked at the closed window of the room and curled his lips.
Maybe he would just jump out of the window, killing two people with one body, and get it done quickly.
"Duk."
A subtle sound came into Chen Xun's ears.
He reflexively looked at the door, but the door was locked by his adoptive father. He pulled it, but it didn't move.
"Duk-duk."
The frequency of the sound increased, but the volume seemed to become smaller.
Chen Xun walked in the opposite direction of the door.
He stood in front of the window with a curtain and slowly pulled up the curtain on one side.
Alpha sat on the sturdy trunk of the sycamore tree, leisurely tossing a few pebbles up and down with one hand.
Noticing Chen Xun's gaze, he raised the corners of his lips and gestured to Chen Xun.
Come out and play.
The dusty memories were awakened again.
Chen Xun thought of the time when he didn't dare to go out before, Lian Xufeng did the same thing, bringing small desserts and toys, climbing up the sycamore tree with great effort, knocking on his window with small stones, and trying his best to get him to come out and play.
But now, the handsome Alpha doesn't need any temptation.
Because his existence is a desire for Chen Xun.
The slender Omega pushed open the window, looked at the hand so close, stepped to the window, and put his hand in the palm of the Alpha.
Two floors high, he didn't feel scared at all.
Lian Xufeng's smile is the most powerful soothing agent in the world. Chen Xun felt his body lighten, and then he was carried horizontally to sit on the trunk next to Lian Xufeng.
Chen Xun's back was leaning against the trunk of the sycamore tree.
Lian Xufeng protected him with both hands, because he had to get close to the Omega because he was carrying Chen Xun down.
The sultry summer breeze seemed to hide a trace of imperceptible coolness.
The wind suddenly rose, and leaves fell rustling.
One leaf fell between Chen Xun's eyebrows, and he couldn't help but blink.
"Don't move."
Lian Xufeng put one hand around Chen Xun's waist and peeled off the leaf for him.
The sun is so nice today.
Chen Xun thought silently, sitting in the shade of the trees, he could actually smell the warm smell of the sun.
