Chapter 577: Too Peaceful Recently
"Mr. Xiao."
Liu Lin walked to Xiao Yun with a stern face and a respectful attitude.
Xiao Yun nodded: "I hope he hasn't been discovered in the past few days."
Liu Lin shook his head: "No, I didn't have close contact with other people, and they didn't know you were away."
"Well, come back."
Liu Lin heard the nasal tone in the voice and looked up quickly.
When I saw this, I took a breath.
The corners of Mr. Xiao's eyes are red, as if he has been crying!
This is simply shocking news.
Because he was too stunned, he forgot to look away and was caught by Xiao Yun.
His eyes suddenly became sharp and he glanced over coldly: "What are you looking at?"
Liu Lin reacted quickly and said, "I feel that Mr. Xiao has lost some weight. I have to tell the kitchen to prepare some nutritious meals in the next few days."
Xiao Yun said nothing and strode towards the car.
Liu Lin breathed a sigh of relief. Mr. Xiao, whose confession was rejected, was even more terrifying than usual.
Looking at Li Hui who was bewildered, Liu Lin quickly reminded him: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow. Mr. Xiao is in a bad mood right now. Remember to talk less and do less."
Li Hui looked at his face reluctantly. She had taken advantage of Liu Lin in the past few days, and only the last step was left.
The two of them have already tacitly acknowledged their relationship, and the only thing missing is the words "together".
Liu Lin blushed under her gaze and whispered, "Retract your gaze and don't show it in front of President Xiao."
If his confession fails, and someone next to him flirts with each other and shows affection, they are as sweet as honey, which will be like adding fuel to the fire for Mr. Xiao.
"I know, I know. I'll listen to you and do less and talk less."
Liu Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed Xiao Yun.
After returning to the Xiao family, Liu Lin went to the kitchen to prepare meals, while Xiao Yun went to see Old Madam Xiao.
The old lady was in her little Buddhist temple.
As soon as Xiao Yun opened the door, he smelled a strong scent of sandalwood, which was so strong that it was a bit pungent.
He subconsciously frowned and said to Zhao Yue who was lighting incense, "I have something to say to grandma, you go out first."
Zhao Yue rarely came forward or made any advances. She put down the incense and left obediently.
"Grandma, the smell of sandalwood here is too strong. Open the window and get some fresh air."
Xiao Yun opened the window as he spoke, letting in fresh air from outside. The suffocating sandalwood scent became a little lighter.
"Really? Maybe I've been here all day and am so used to the sandalwood that I don't feel anything."
Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yun's back with a loving smile.
I heard him ask, "Has Zhao Yue been behaving well lately?"
Madam Xiao said truthfully: "He has been very well-behaved these past few days. He stays here with me whenever he has nothing to do. He is able to calm down at such a young age."
When Xiao Yun heard the words "calm down", he thought of Zhao Yue's calm face just now, pulled the corners of his lips, and looked sarcastic.
"I hope she can really calm down."
Just now on the way, Li Hui had told him what happened that night.
Zhao Yue obviously still has evil intentions. I wonder what she is trying to do by pretending to be so well-behaved.
Madam Xiao looked at him and suddenly said, "Ah Yun, what happened? Do you mind telling grandma?"
Just one sentence shattered Xiao Yun's forced calmness.
He stood there, his eyes slightly red, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.
It has been so many years since Old Madam Xiao saw him look so fragile.
The last time was at the old man’s bedside.
After the old man died, A'an's image in public has always been cold, tough, confident and indestructible.
He has shouldered the burden of the Xiao family at such a young age and dared not show any weakness. Once he showed any weakness, he and the Xiao family would be torn apart.
"come over."
Old Madam Xiao waved at him, and Xiao Yun walked over obediently, like a big wolfhound returning home, and half-knelt beside his grandmother.
The old lady stroked his fluffy black hair and said in a gentle voice: "Where have you been these days?"
"You know?" Xiao Yun was very surprised. He took Shen Lan abroad on a whim and did not tell anyone except Liu Lin and Li Hui.
The old lady smiled and said, "You are the child I raised, how could I not recognize you? No matter how hard someone pretends, I can tell at a glance that it's not you."
Xiao Yun lowered his eyes and smiled: "You are very clear-sighted and clear-minded. I can't hide anything from you."
"I took Shen Lan on a trip abroad these past few days, and we spent five days alone together. I confessed my plan to her and told her that I was deliberately distancing myself from her in order to protect her."
His voice trembled slightly, with an imperceptible sob: "I confessed my feelings to her... She, she rejected me."
"Grandma, she said she used to like me, but now she doesn't have me in her heart."
In an instant, Madam Xiao felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
She knew all of Ah-yi's childhood experiences, knew the knot in Ah-yi's heart, and knew how rare it was for him to be able to confess his feelings, to be willing to like a girl, and to want to spend his life with her, and how much courage it took.
But Shen Lan didn't know.
The old lady also knew that Ah Yun would never tell Shen Lan about this, as the child rarely exposed her vulnerability in front of others.
Shen Lan is still the girl he likes, and no boy is willing to expose his weaknesses in front of a girl.
