Chapter 142 So what if you understand? You're still an old bachelor.
I'm utterly speechless about Huo Yubai.
"I don't think we can order takeout here?" He took out his phone and looked down at the app, searching: "Is this kind of food unhealthy? I don't know if it's okay to eat it?"
He was talking to himself, but he was talking to me.
"Huo Yubai, why don't you stay at my house?" I glanced at him sideways.
"Is it okay?" His dark eyes shone.
I sneered, "Of course not!"
He snorted.
I started the car: "This is the last time."
"Okay." He put his phone down and put it in his pocket.
I took him home.
Upon entering the villa.
I saw Shen Xingyuan sitting in a wheelchair, and my mother was putting flowers in his hair.
"Looks like you're recovering well," I joked. "You're old enough to be my mom's decoration."
Shen Xingyuan looked at me coldly: "Could you ask your mother to stop?"
I turned to the side: "Mom, what's going on?"
“He saved me last time, and this is to thank him. I read online that you should give flowers to patients, and they will be happy to see them. I’m putting this on him so he will be even happier.” My mother was holding a rose in her hand, studying where to put it.
I chuckled and said, "My mom means well, so just accept it."
Shen Xingyuan glared at me.
I smiled.
I suddenly realized that this must be the first time Huo Yubai and Shen Xingyuan met.
"This is Huo Yubai," I introduced. "This is Shen Xingyuan."
"Hello." Huo Yubai extended his hand, his expression aloof.
Shen Xingyuan: "..."
I patted Huo Yubai's arm: "He can't lift his hand."
"I know, it was just a test," Huo Yubai explained.
Shen Xingyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Then just be a pretty face." Huo Yubai looked at Shen Xingyuan meaningfully.
Shen Xingyuan sneered: "You too, keep pretending to be pitiful!"
I had already gone upstairs to change my clothes and didn't hear anything.
My mom stared wide-eyed at me, full of confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, Auntie. You can continue. Your flower arrangement is very beautiful," Huo Yubai praised.
My mom asked happily, "Do you want to come?"
Huo Yubai paused, then quickly waved his hand, "No need, Auntie."
Shen Xingyuan rolled his eyes.
Huo Yubai sat on the sofa, sipping tea, and looked at him with a mocking smile.
-
Two days later.
I am working in the office.
Liang Wan came to find me.
"Why are you here?" I stood up to greet you.
“Professor Shen, my brother has reached the target level. The other party said they can definitely cure him.” Liang Wan’s worried expression faded a lot. “I came to thank you. These are some cookies and biscuits that I made myself, for you and everyone else.”
"You're too kind," I said. "The people over there have contacted me too. Don't worry, your brother will definitely get better."
"Yes," Liang Wan said happily, "I believe you."
"By the way, didn't you go on the business trip with Mu Xi?" I opened a bag of cookies and started eating.
It tastes really good.
"President Mu told me to take care of my brother's matter before going to see her. But it's the end of the year, and there are still many things to do at the company, so she asked me to stay," Liang Wan explained.
"I see." I nodded. "Mu Xi said you have good work skills and even wants to promote you."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare," Liang Wan said nervously. "I've only been with the company for two years, and there are many highly educated and capable people in the president's office."
"She's always a good judge of character, she's never wrong. If she says you're getting a promotion, it must mean you have something special." I smiled and comforted her, "If I were you, I'd seize this opportunity, because if you miss it, it'll be gone forever."
"Professor Shen, do you really think I can do it?" Liang Wan asked hesitantly, "I don't know if I can do it. I've always been insecure since I was a child, so I'm very afraid of messing it up."
“I think it’s okay for you to be useless. You need to have confidence in yourself.” I laughed. “I also mess things up sometimes, so you don’t need to be too hard on yourself.”
“Okay, I understand.” Liang Wan said, “There’s one more thing. President Mu is not here. The company has an event and needs someone to represent him. President Mu said that Professor Shen can substitute.”
"What kind of event?" I asked curiously.
"It's the Golden Flower Awards, which are held every two years. This time it's being held at a hotel under the Mu Group," Liang Wan said.
"That's a very grand event. How can a university professor like me represent it?" I said, both amused and exasperated.
"President Mu said he'll arrange a nominal position for you, don't worry there won't be any problems," Liang Wan said with a smile. "Then I'll send a car to pick you up in three days."
"No need," I waved my hand. "I'll drive myself."
"This event will be broadcast live from the red carpet onwards, and there will be a designated transportation system provided by the sponsors," Liang Wan explained.
"Okay, I understand." I nodded.
"Then I'll send someone to deliver the dress tomorrow. If it doesn't fit, I can get it altered." Liang Wan said, then turned and left.
I gave away the cookies and biscuits she made to everyone.
-
We had lunch and then dinner.
Han Li then pushed Shen Xingyuan into the sunroom to sunbathe.
Her current temperament is no different from that of a seven or eight-year-old child. Although she can still recognize Shen Yan, she basically doesn't remember anyone else, and has forgotten many things.
Shen Xingyuan tried to probe several times but failed to get any information out of him.
Han Li then put another flower in his hair.
After being tormented several times, Shen Xingyuan had resigned himself to his fate.
"I understand you're trying to thank me, but I don't think you need to be so grateful," Shen Xinghui said helplessly.
"This is nothing. I was thinking of making you some beautiful outfits, all by hand." Han Li smiled and picked up the fabric beside her. "I bought them online. Aren't they pretty?"
Shen Xingyuan glanced at it, his lips twitching slightly: "Are you sure you're making this for me?"
"Of course," Han Li said earnestly. "This pink is so pretty, and this yellow is so bright. I'll make you two dresses; I'm sure you'll love them."
Shen Xingyuan: "..."
"Don't you like it?" Han Li's dark eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
Shen Xingyuan frowned slightly. "I like it."
Ah.
Mo Yiyan appeared behind them at some point, arms crossed, leaning against the door frame, a slight, contemptuous laugh escaping his lips.
"I hardly recognize you anymore," he mocked.
"Who do you think caused me to end up like this?" Shen Xingyuan asked coldly.
Han Li was startled; her face turned pale. "Are you talking about me?"
"No." Shen Xingyuan took a deep breath and changed his tone: "You should rest now. Go find Sister Lan."
"I'm not sleepy," Han Li shook her head.
"I bought Ms. Han's favorite small cakes." Mo Yiyan walked over: "Don't you want to try some?"
Upon hearing that there were small cakes, Han Li's expression changed from aggrieved to happy: "Where are they?"
"The living room," Mo Yiyan said.
Han Li immediately went to the living room.
Mo Yiyan laughed, "Looks like you have absolutely no idea how to coax a girl?"
Shen Xingyuan was speechless: "I've never been around a woman since I was a child. What do I know? And what if you do know? You're still an old bachelor."
