But it doesn’t matter, wine needs to be brewed slowly to be delicious. He believes that after not seeing each other for more than 20 years, there will definitely be unexpected gains this time!
Thinking of this, the old man's gaze fell on Ouyang Yunxiao again. The calculating gleam in his eyes made Ouyang Yunxiao feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ouyang Yunxiao didn't understand why his godfather was looking at him like that, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only slowly lower his head.
A chill came from the soles of his feet, causing Ouyang Yunxiao to break out in cold sweats all over.
After a while, the old man stood up with his cane and said to Ouyang Yunxiao, "Si Mingyao has a proud grandson named Si Mochen. I think you should be familiar with him after so many years in Jincheng."
Ouyang Yunxiao was indeed not unfamiliar to him, after all, they had just met recently.
The other party is his student, Xia Zhichu's husband!
He nodded and said, "Godfather, do you have other plans?"
The old man hummed, but didn't continue. Instead, he paused at the door and, without turning back, said coldly, "This man will be your greatest rival in the future. From now on, I will allocate a force to you. You close the Jingwu Hall and come back to work with me."
Ouyang Yunxiao's whole body stiffened slightly.
Jingwu Hall has been open for such a long time and his godfather has never interfered, but now he wants him to close it, which he cannot understand.
"Godfather, why?"
The old man said sinisterly, "Don't ask any more questions. I have my own arrangements for all of this. Return to work at the company and become a leader. In the future, you will definitely become your best weapon against Si Mochen."
To deal with Si Mochen...
Ouyang Yunxiao was completely stunned.
Although he had some unpleasantness with Si Mochen, it had not come to the point of taking action against him.
However, the old man said nothing more and disappeared into the darkness.
Ouyang Yunxiao stood there for a long time, and didn't understand what the old man meant for a long time.
…
After Xia Zhichu prepared dinner, Si Mochen had not returned yet.
After thinking about it, she took the initiative to call the man, but the phone rang outside.
After the call was connected, Si Mochen's mellow and pleasant voice sounded at the door, and his tall figure also came into view.
"Mrs. Si, I'm back!"
Xia Zhichu held up her phone and grinned at him, "I thought you were going to work overtime tonight and wouldn't be back for dinner."
After saying that, she took the initiative to go forward and get him a pair of slippers, and then hung up his suit jacket for him.
After Si Mochen changed his shoes, he walked over and hugged her, "How could I forget what I promised you? Besides, my wife Si's cooking is so delicious, I have to come back to taste it."
Xia Zhichu was amused by his words and punched him lightly with her fist. "You are so smooth-talking, I can't even beat you."
The man grabbed her hand and kissed it, then pressed it against his heart and said in a hoarse voice, "No, everything I said was true."
There is warmth only when there is a home.
What's more, there is a woman in this family who washes his hands and makes soup for him, and leaves a light on at night waiting for him to come home. Si Mochen has never known the taste of home since he was a child, but now he truly experiences it in Xia Zhichu.
In this case, how could he bear to run around outside and let her wait anxiously at home?
"Okay, okay, I believe you're sincere." After saying that, Xia Zhichu broke free from the man's arms and gently pushed him towards the bathroom. "Go wash your hands quickly, the food is getting cold."
"Okay, Mrs. Si."
Si Mochen curled his lips and smiled, washed his hands as Xia Zhichu asked, and then sat down with her face to face at the dining table.
"Mr. Si, I have something to tell you."
"Mrs. Si, I have something to inform you."
As soon as the two sat down, they said this in unison, and then laughed at each other.
"You speak first."
"You notify first."
They spoke in unison again, showing perfect tacit understanding.
In the end, Si Mochen gave the opportunity to Xia Zhichu, after all, ladies come first.
Xia Zhichu cleared his throat and told Si Mochen everything about today's itinerary without reservation.
After the man finished listening, his expression became noticeably unhappy, and he even gently placed the chopsticks he had just picked up on the table.
"Going back is such an important matter, why don't you let me accompany you?"
Xia Zhichu replied, "You are busy with work, I don't want to disturb you. Besides, it will be the same if I find Tiantian to be with you."
Si Mochen left in a hurry this morning, and Xia Zhichu had no chance to tell him about this. In addition, the man looked so tired, and she was worried that he couldn't handle the long drive, so she chose to act first and ask for his advice later.
However, Si Mochen was angry about this. "I told you, nothing is more important than your affairs. There's also Xia Ganggang at home. Have you forgotten how he treated you at the quarterly show?"
Xia Zhichu knew that this man cared about her and was deeply touched.
Facing his anger, she accepted it cheerfully and patiently explained, "Xia Ganggang is not at home all year round. I knew this and that's why I dared to go back."
"What about your mother? Don't forget that she's a little mentally unstable. What if she suddenly gets sick and hurts you..."
"No."
Without waiting for Si Mochen to finish, Xia Zhichu quickly left his seat and threw himself into Si Mochen's arms. "My mother had to be so ruthless to me because Xia Gang was here. Now that Xia Gang is not at home, she won't be willing to hurt me. And Tiantian is here too. Even if Xia Gang was at home, Tiantian wouldn't let them hurt me."
This time when he went back, Xia Zhichu also considered it carefully, taking his own safety as the first consideration, and only after weighing the pros and cons did he step into that house.
So, she would never let herself get hurt.
"Mr. Si, I know you care about me and worry about me, but I can't live under your wings forever. I have to learn to grow up and protect myself. Otherwise, what should I do if you are not around?"
After Xia Zhichu finished speaking, she took the initiative to kiss the man's eyebrows, then took his hand and acted coquettishly, "Don't be angry, next time if there is anything, I promise to tell you the first time and will never let you worry."
It was indeed her fault this time. Even if Si Mochen was busy and had no time to accompany her back, she should have sent him a message instead of waiting until the matter was done before telling him everything.
This will make him feel that he is not trusted and cannot be relied upon.
Si Mochen was worn out by her, and in the end, all his anger was reduced to a sigh, "This won't happen again, otherwise, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhichu quickly raised her hands and swore, "I promise there won't be a next time. If there is anything, I will discuss it with my husband first and will never make my husband angry again."
Seeing the little woman being so obedient, Si Mochen lost his last bit of temper and pulled Xia Zhichu onto his lap. "As compensation to me, we're going to take wedding photos tomorrow."
