Near the end of the year, Chen He was a little overwhelmed by the amount of work. He accompanied Yan Yongwang on two business trips, and once he returned to his home in the capital, he collapsed on the lazy sofa. Chen He barely stood up, but quickly lay down again.
He was so tired that his eyes were blurry and he didn't even remember that he was hungry.
He and Yan Yongwang got off the plane. The driver first took him home and then took the boss back to the Yan family villa.
Today and tomorrow are rare times for them to rest. Two-thirds of this month's business trip target has been achieved. The day after tomorrow, they will have to become frequent flyers and travel to other places again.
Chen He was dazed. He raised his arm to cover his eyelids, turned over, and without taking off his clothes, buried his face in the lazy sofa. He fell asleep in just a few minutes.
Secretary Shen, who was always full of energy, was tortured to death by work in late autumn.
In his dreams, he saw Yan Yongwang's cold face, telling him expressionlessly: "Secretary Shen, we still have 20 reports to look at."
The boss also sounded frustrated: "...and, there are three more business trips planned."
Chen He whimpered and felt like he was about to cry in his dream - how could such a tragic thing happen?
It's almost the end of the year, let him work like a human being!!!
No? Don’t torture him and the boss anymore!!!
Waking up from the dream, Chen He straightened up in a daze and let out a long breath: "It's too scary."
It was so scary that he even trembled a little when he thought about the plot in his dream.
Chen He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took out his cell phone to check. On this month's schedule, all the work that had been completed had been ticked.
After a quick look, only the following few lines are left.
He counted on his fingers. Today is November 20th. He has been on two business trips. The day after tomorrow he will go to Country Y again. He will be busy for two days before returning...
The boss only has a few days free at the end of the month, probably after the 25th, so Yan Yongwang stays at home.
After all the calculations, I'm hungry.
Chen He slowly took out his mobile phone and prepared to order takeout. Before he opened the takeout app, he saw the message sent by Yan Yongwang.
"I've ordered food for you. Contact this number and it will be delivered within half an hour."
"Thank you for your hard work these past few months."
[Cat bows.jpg]
Chen He was stunned, then he smiled again: "Why are you being polite to me?"
He got through the number, and the restaurant delivery man said on the line that he had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for the customer to call.
In less than half an hour, Chen He received a takeaway meal comparable to a full banquet.
There were seven or eight insulated boxes, and even a small hot pot indoors. When the delivery man helped adjust the temperature, he looked at Chen He, who was still wearing a shirt and suit from a business trip, and joked, "I thought this was for several people, but it was just you."
Chen He laughed: "Really? Ah, just me."
The delivery man adjusted the temperature, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Boss, please give me a good review! If you have any questions, just call me!"
Chen He unpacked his chopsticks, made an OK gesture, and watched the delivery man leave with a smile.
Before he ate, he took a picture of the dishes on the table and posted it to his Moments with satisfaction.
Chen He: "Thank you, boss! [Put your hands together][Put your hands together][Put your hands together]"
Chen He, a qualified social animal and a qualified worker!
Not long after he posted this on WeChat Moments, Yan Yongwang seemed extremely satisfied and gave it a thumbs up. He arrogantly did not reply, but only sent him a private message: "Follow your ordering principles, half vegetables and half meat."
Shen He smiled: "Thank you, boss!"
Yan Yongwang was also in a good mood: "I wish you a pleasant meal."
Chen He bit his chopsticks, squinted his eyes and replied with a very cute emoticon.
[catwink.jpg]
There was an emoticon package of a cute girl. When Yan Yong saw it, he was stunned for a moment, then he openly long-pressed it and sneaked it into his own emoticon package library.
Reply to Chen He: [Cat sitting upright.jpg]
The conversation ended here. Chen He turned off the screen of his mobile phone and concentrated on eating his meal. In his mind, he was still thinking about the emoticons of Mr. Yan that he had just seen. He basically remembered every one of them. Tsk tsk, the boss was very open about stealing emoticons. Basically, he stole all of them from him!
==
On the day he returned from his business trip, Yan Yongwang ordered a meal for Chen He.
I also ordered a meal for myself.
But he was not eating alone today. There was also Chao Lingxi sitting opposite him.
Chao Lingxi hadn't seen him for several days. When she heard that he was coming back from a business trip today, she called him anxiously and begged, "I want to see you."
He thought it was a plea because Yan Yongwang knew Chao Lingxi well. This man with a cold and restrained voice sounded a little pitiful on the phone. In fact, to outsiders, this voice might not be much different from usual, it was cold and indifferent.
But Yan Yongwang's voice was almost the same as his, so he naturally understood the tone of voice of a cold and gloomy person when begging.
In November, all in all, they only met twice.
At most, we chatted a few sentences on WeChat, not much, and not very warm.
Yan Yongwang glared at Chao Lingxi, signaling him not to look around and to hurry up and eat.
"Juanjuan, your clothes," Chao Lingxi frowned, pointed at the men's clothes he was wearing, and said, "Why are you wearing such a big piece?"
Yan Yongwang served himself a bowl of rice and gently placed it on the table. He picked up the food with chopsticks and said to Lingxi without even looking at her: "Durable, good to wear, and comfortable."
"Girls need to wear pretty clothes to look good? Ah."
"oh."
He knocked on the bowl in front of him impatiently: "Eat yours and don't talk."
"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping."
"Don't you understand this?"
She opened her mouth to say something to Lingxi, but was glanced at by his peach blossom eyes. She dared not speak any more.
After finishing the meal obediently, Chao Lingxi wanted to visit the Yan family villa again, so he politely asked him: "Juanjuan, can I see? See? Your house?"
His eyes were full of desire. Yan Yong looked at him and finally nodded: "Go ahead and take a look."
"Third floor? I want to go."
In the end, Chao Lingxi was not allowed to go to the third floor.
Chao Lingxi understood what he was not saying.
After looking around the villa, Chao Lingxi asked him, "Are they nice to you?"
"They are my parents, how could they be mean to me?"
"..." Chao Lingxi could see the care for Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan in his tone. That kind of care was something he, as their biological father, could not get for the time being. He was not discouraged, but just said, "That's good."
Yan Yongwang looked at him, only to see Chao Lingxi smile. There was a gleam in his eyes, and his tone was soothing and gentle: "We all hope that you are well."
He lowered his eyelashes and said indifferently: "If you tell me your secret, I will be better."
He said to Lingxi: "It's not the time yet, Juanjuan."
He spoke in a soothing tone, and only said this one sentence, and then did not answer any more questions from him.
He was also keen on looking at the furniture and electrical appliances in the Yan family villa. Later, he found another fun activity - adjusting the TV station and watching the latest popular TV series and variety shows.
Yan Yongwang looked up at him from time to time, and saw that he was walking in the living room without any fear of the cold. He was only wearing a very thin shirt and a pair of linen trousers.
It was not yet the heating season in the capital, and the indoor temperature was low, so he even wore a large coat to cover himself.
But Chao Lingxi just kept walking like this, not caring about the temperature at all.
Yan Yongwang: "Aren't you cold?"
To Lingxi: "Not bad, not too cold."
When he realized that Yan Yongwang was really concerned about him, he couldn't help but ask happily, "Are you cold?"
"…I'm not cold."
Their conversation was not awkward. When Yan Yongwang was reading, Chao Lingxi couldn't help but ask him, "Do you think I'm annoying?"
Yan Yong raised his head slowly and looked at him.
At this moment he was "Chao Juan", his eyebrows and features were cool and delicate, his bone structure had some features that Chao Lingxi was very familiar with, his brown-gray eyes were clear and tranquil, like a pool of clear spring.
The young woman had long hair draped over her shoulders. She spoke in a very restrained and polite manner.
"Sometimes you're annoying, and sometimes you're just okay."
Chao Lingxi looked at Chao Juan, his beloved daughter, with a little helplessness in his cold tone: "After all, you are a fool. I don't think I can hold you to the standard of a normal person."
This? Or? The first time he heard Juanjuan's evaluation of him.
He smiled at Lingxi for a moment, and when he turned his back, the smile became even bigger.
--Fool.
What an intimate and cute name.
He liked her calling him "idiot" in such a gentle tone.
He felt that his soul was independent of this body at this moment, and he calmly watched him disguise himself in front of him. From the first time they met until now, he used all his tricks to take advantage of his clumsiness when he didn't understand this society at that time, magnifying his clumsiness and covering up his intelligence...
Finally, truly be a fool.
A stupid father who seems to be ignorant of the world and easily deceived by smart people.
Only in this way could he let Yan Yongwang let down his guard and become a fool that made him worry.
Yan Yongwang said from behind him: "Please put on more clothes. I think you are all a little cold."
He turned to Lingxi again, blinked innocently, and scratched his arm: "But I didn't bring any extra clothes when I came here today."
“…”
Yan Yong glared at him angrily, his beautiful eyes full of dissatisfaction with him: "How stupid!"
He whispered to Lingxi: "...I'm sorry."
Yan Yongwang's anger rose: "I'm so annoyed!"
Towards Lingxi, she whispered even more innocently, "... Are you tired? Are you going to be angry?"
He is even more straight than Yan Yongwang himself. He never knows how to say nice things. Once he makes Yan Yongwang angry, he will apologize humbly.
"I'm sorry, Juanjuan."
"Are you tired? You're going to get angry."
“…”
Yan Yongwang had a headache. He got up from the sofa, put on his slippers, went to his room, got a coat, threw it to him, and said coldly, "Put it on."
Chao Lingxi, not knowing whether it was hot or cold, obediently put on his son's clothes. He sat on the sofa, suppressing his excitement, and said politely, "Thank you!"
After he left, he also took the coat away.
Yan Yongwang was left feeling as if he had overlooked something. He went back to his room and saw an empty coat rack. Then he realized: Chao Lingxi had taken his clothes away, sneakily!
He felt helpless and amused: he couldn't possibly not lend him the clothes. After all, it was cold outside, and he wasn't demanding enough to ask someone to return the clothes to him on the spot.
But, recalling the time before she walked towards Lingxi, she put on the coat he gave her as if nothing had happened, and buttoned every button tightly.
Leave? I was a little clumsy when I went out, feeling extremely guilty.
Yan Yongwang commented on his actions today: "...really stupid."
==
I can take two days off after returning from a business trip.
The next day, Chen He planned to visit the restaurant he often ate at.
He is a very old customer in this restaurant, and the restaurant manager is familiar with him. The chef in the kitchen is even a friend of his, and sometimes he will send him a message: I have learned a new dish recently, Boss Shen, you can come and try it? Ha!
In the WeChat message on the mobile phone, the chef said: "Boss Shen, you haven't been here for a long time. I have learned a lot of dishes recently. I am waiting for you to try them and see how they taste!"
Chen He is free today, so he rushes to meet his old friend.
The chef said that he would prepare all new dishes for him today. The old friend urgently needs help from his friends. Let's see how these dishes that have not yet been officially put on the menu taste.
The chef has great trust in the gourmet Chen He's tongue.
As soon as Chen He arrived, the chef smiled and said, "Give me a seat. I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the food!"
"Okay? I'm looking forward to it!"
Chen He was in a good mood. He took a sip of the drink on the table, then saw the restaurant manager, who was also an acquaintance, and waved at him with a smile.
When the manager saw him, his face looked a little strange for a moment.
But they still came over, said hello, and asked each other about their recent lives.
"I've been very busy these past few months, working for my boss. It's the end of the year now, and I've been traveling around."
"No wonder, I haven't seen you and Mr. Yan recently."
Chen He has an elegant smile and his social skills are really strong. When talking to people, he always looks into the other person's eyes, appears very polite, and listens to people very seriously.
Manager: "Our restaurant is also busy at the end of the year. Lao Ding has learned a new dish and is preparing to put it on the menu next year. He also specifically told me that he must let Mr. Shen come and try it. Mr. Shen's opinion is the best."
Chen He said: "I've tried many new dishes in your restaurant with my tongue, and I feel really bad about it."
The manager laughed: "No, you came to try the new dishes, but you gave our restaurant a lot of suggestions. If it were me, I would give Mr. Chen a medal for the best dining friend!"
While they were chatting, someone else came into the restaurant.
Neither of them noticed that when Chen He was chatting with the manager until his mouth was dry, he looked around absentmindedly and found a familiar face not far away.
With dark eyes, a protruding nose and a stern face, he was stern and serious. He was holding a menu and seemed to be choosing something very seriously.
Sitting opposite me was a lady with a nice figure. Her long hair was loose and she had a warm camel-colored scarf wrapped around her neck. Because of the seat, I could only see her back.
Chao Lingxi——Is it? Chao Lingxi, right?
Chen He replied to the manager casually, a little absent-minded. The manager followed his gaze and found Chao Lingxi.
He was also stunned.
"Mr. Shen, do you know that person?"
Chen He felt that the manager's words were full of hidden meanings, so he looked at him and asked tentatively, "Why, do you know him too?"
The manager couldn't reveal that Mr. Yan and this person had dined here before, after all, it was their privacy. But he could say, "Yes, this gentleman has dined here before."
"one person?"
The manager shook his head.
Chen He guessed it immediately. Who brought him here?
He was more curious about the relationship between Yan Yongwang and Chao Lingxi. After finishing the conversation with the manager, he kept looking over there.
Chao Lingxi was very perceptive, he could sense the gazes from all around. After ordering the dishes he wanted to eat, he looked up and saw someone he really didn't like seeing.
He has a handsome and gentle face, his eyes are always gentle and he seems to have a good temper.
The expression on his face was gentle, and when he saw that he met his eyes, he raised his lips and smiled at him.
He has good facial features and fair skin. Today he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses when he went out and wore casual clothes. He looked very kind and gentle.
When Chen He smiles, people feel like they are in a spring breeze. Yan Yongwang likes to take him with him on business trips because he is very good at chatting with business partners and can easily make people laugh.
This is probably what the so-called "charm of a smile" means.
However, Chao Lingxi didn't fall for it. He snorted coldly and raised his face to Chao Juan opposite him.
"What's wrong?"
His daughter has a cold voice and is really fierce when she is not smiling.
But Chao Lingxi liked her talking to him the most, no matter whether she was angry or smiling, he liked it very much.
Chao Lingxi didn't want her to focus on that person, so she shook her head: "Nothing."
Chao Juan looked at him hesitantly: "Why do you look so grim?"
Chao Lingxi's heart trembled. Did she show too much of her annoyance towards Shen He?
No, he should control his emotions and be a good person in front of the children, not being jealous or trying to sow discord.
So she blinked obediently, pretending not to understand: "Huh?"
In the morning, his pretty and lovely daughter narrowed her eyes, snorted slightly, picked out the dishes she wanted, and motioned the waiter to come forward and take away the menu.
This restaurant naturally also has a way of ordering food by scanning a QR code.
However, Yan Yongwang understood Chao Lingxi's clumsiness - he knew that Chao Lingxi had a special background and didn't seem to understand this society very well. Even though dozens of days had passed and he did learn some ways to use a smartphone, he still felt that he was too stupid.
Probably because Chao Lingxi often did stupid things in front of him.
Yan Yong selfishly thought that he had found a biological father.
Instead, he found a stupid relative who was lazy and didn't know how to grow crops.
Sometimes he would think that if Chao Lingxi appeared in front of him and seemed familiar with this society and the way the world works, he probably would not let down his guard against him so early.
Yes, up to now, Yan Yongwang has relaxed most of his guard against Chao Lingxi.
When they talked privately, Chao Lingxi would sometimes mention Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan, and his tone showed that he didn't like them very much, but it wasn't to the point of disgust. It was more of a "child snatched away" feeling of jealousy. More often, Yan Yongwang realized that Yan Chi and Shi Xianyuan were quite familiar with him.
This means that his parents are probably...should also be special.
But what would happen next, Yan Yongwang didn’t dare to think about it, nor did he dare to think about it.
He didn't want to be disappointed, just like three years ago, when he learned that his parents had died unexpectedly, he had a complete and happy dream. In the dream, his parents were still alive, happily calling his name, calling him Yanyan, calling him baby.
Yan Chi hugged him tenderly, his broad chest and deep laughter: "My good son."
Shi Xianyuan stood on tiptoe, gently touched his forehead, and then coquettishly asked him to lower his head.
She kissed him hard on the forehead, like a brand: "Baby Yan Yan!"
The dream was so beautiful that after waking up, he was disappointed and cried.
Later, he no longer dared to think about these things.
The appearance of Chao Lingxi means a lot...
The secret lies with him, and Yan Yongwang hopes that one day in the future he will know everything.
Obviously, Chao Lingxi was unwilling to tell him these things at this moment.
However, Yan Yongwang was very patient. He knew that Chao Lingxi liked him and was close to him, whether it was out of blood relationship or for some other purpose - no matter what, he could handle it properly.
Accompanying him out for dinner today fulfilled Chao Lingxi's expectation. He had been thinking about it for many days, hoping that he could accompany him out for dinner.
Just the restaurant we came from last time.
Yan Yongwang agreed.
After ordering, we waited for the food to be served. He poured a hot drink for Lingxi. He liked the water squeezed from fruits and vegetables. It warmed him up when he drank it.
As he drank, he thought about what Yan Yong had said the last time he had signaled him to drink a hot drink: "It's cold, drink this to warm your stomach."
The more I think about it, the happier I am.
Yan Yongwang looked at him in confusion.
Chao Lingxi smiled at him, a very cheerful and comfortable smile.
Chen He didn't even have to look at the woman's face to guess that she must be a great beauty.
And from his position, he could see Chao Lingxi smiling at the beautiful woman.
That face - when he first saw it in the Ling City Cemetery, he was frightened to death. The pale skin, dark eyebrows and eyes, and gorgeous yet cold facial features melted into a gentle and affectionate spring breeze when he smiled at the beautiful woman.
Shen He was amazed.
He thought, who is this person? It was a rare moment to see him smile, so Shen He was very curious.
He was very curious, but he knew that Chao Lingxi might not be very welcoming to him.
Because he looked at her like that, Chao Lingxi took advantage of the beauty's inattention and gave him a cold look.
That expression meant so much - don't fucking look at me!
Chen He tried to hold back his laughter. He was being scolded, but he didn't feel angry at all. He just thought it was funny: the way this guy concealed his annoyance in front of his deskmate and glared at people cautiously was really funny.
As I was laughing, my food was served.
Chef Lao Ding specially prepared a table of new dishes for his old friend. The dishes were served with great fanfare and the guests around couldn't help but look over.
When Chen He was talking to Lao Ding, he noticed someone was looking at him.
It was cool and refreshing, like water, falling on his body.
He looked back and saw the woman who was sitting opposite Lingxi.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes were clear, and she was wearing a furry scarf, which she had not taken off yet. Her chin was covered, and only half of her face was exposed.
This was enough for him to tell how beautiful she was.
Peach blossom eyes, when looking at people, the brown-gray pupils are bright, as if they hide a bunch of starlight. The nose is very straight and upturned, with flowing lines, and the cheeks are slightly flushed, as if they were frozen by the air outside.
She was not wearing any makeup - Chen He was sharp-eyed. He was not as straight as his boss. As a sophisticated office worker, he had heard female colleagues in the secretarial department talk about the differences between before and after makeup.
This beauty doesn’t even wear any foundation, her skin is so fair and translucent, like a piece of snow-white jade.
Her eyes were extremely beautiful, with thick, long, and curled eyelashes that fluttered like little fans. When she looked at people, her concentration was so intense that it made people blush.
Chen He was amazed at her beauty from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't recognize that this face was the icy beauty he saw when he first met Chengpin He.
Because today, the icy beauty was not really icy at all. The warm scarf and snow-white sweater made her look like a beautiful real-life doll. Not to mention, at this moment, she tilted her head and looked at him seriously.
There wasn't even a hint of curiosity towards strangers in his eyes, only a faint smile.
She seemed to be saying with a smile: Why is it such a big deal just to have a meal?
The waiters displayed the new dishes one by one and even read out a string of slogans, wishing Shen He good luck in his work.
Chen He: "..." He almost collapsed, and could only interrupt again and again: "Don't be like this, go and get busy."
Then he asked Lao Ding: "What are you doing?"
Chef Lao Ding laughed heartily: "I heard that you have been very busy with work recently. I will say a few words today. I wish you good luck in your future work!"
Shen He said depressedly: "Thank you."
Lao Ding patted him on the shoulder twice: "Okay, I'll go to the kitchen to cook first. Remember to give me feedback after eating!"
He nodded in agreement.
When he looked up again, the guests around him had stopped looking at him.
Only that beauty was still looking at him. Oh, no, that's not right. There was also Chao Lingxi who was staring at him sinisterly.
The beauty smiled, glanced at the dishes on his table, and turned around with satisfaction.
He whispered angrily to Lingxi, "Why are you always watching him do something?" The jealousy from his father surged up in his heart!
His daughter, who was as beautiful as the stars and the moon, drank a sip of hot drink calmly, and said in a relaxed tone, seeming relieved: "Look, he ate well today, very good."
Towards Lingxi: “?”
She raised her face, her eyes shining like stars, "There are both vegetables and meat, it's healthy, I'm very satisfied."
Chao Lingxi continued: "?"
His lovely daughter glanced at him with disdain and said, "The boss cares about his employees, what do you, a jobless vagrant, know?"
Towards Lingxi: “…”
The author has something to say: Lingxi: An old father who looks stupid but is actually very smart and has his own little thoughts.
He knows that only a fool can break through Yan Yan's defenses and make Yan Yan care about him, so he is willing to be a fool.
In the end, I really became a fool!

Stupid dad: Woo woo woo woo, today my daughter implied that I was a vagrant!
