Since Helian Si has promised Yu Sangwan, he will definitely not back out.
That day, he went to Helian Shuang’s yard.
As soon as he entered the hallway, he heard Helian Shuang and Qin ngshu laughing and chatting, and the two of them seed to get along well.
"Ah Si is here." As the two looked up, Helian Shuang nudged Qin ngshu, "ng Shu, hurry up! Help Ah Si with his coat."
"Alright." Qin ngshu nodded with a smile and stepped forward.
Helian Si took off his coat and casually handed it to her. Qin ngshu smiled even more. If before she only admired his status and authority, now... after spending so ti together, she had truly fallen for Helian Si.
Helian Si, although a man of few words, possessed an undeniable charm...
"Loosen your tie too? You should be comfortable at ho."
Qin ngshu said, raising her hand towards his neck.
"..." Helian Si hesitated, suddenly rembering when Yu Sangwan unbuttoned his shirt...
For so reason, he suddenly raised his hand to stop Qin ngshu.
Qin ngshu’s wrist was held by him, her face flushing, "Ah Si?"
"..." Regaining his composure, Helian Si lowered his gaze, "Sorry... I can do it myself."
"Alright." Qin ngshu lowered her head, a smile playing on her lips. She thought that Helian Si had done it on purpose.
This man appeared so cold, yet... his palms were very warm. Marrying him, a woman would have everything she desires—wealth, status, and an excellent husband... it’s all there.
"Co, let’s all sit down!"
At the dining table, the three sat together.
Helian Shuang looked at the sowhat wooden Helian Si and reminded, "Ah Si, serve ngshu so dishes!"
"..." Helian Si was taken aback; he had no experience and truly didn’t know what to do.
Qin ngshu looked down slightly, "I can do it myself."
"Ah!" Helian Shuang disagreed, pretending to be unhappy, and urged Helian Si, "Ah Si, this is the inner courtyard; we are all family. I must tell you that chasing a girl can’t be like this... girls are delicate and need n’s care, you know?"
Helian Si hesitated, then really picked up the communal chopsticks to serve Qin ngshu so food, even offering an explanation.
"I’ve always been busy with work. If there’s anything I overlook, you can tell directly... Whatever you say, I’ll do it."
Qin ngshu pursed her lips and smiled, nodding, "I will."
"What do you like to eat?" Helian Si pointed at the dishes on the table, "I’ll get it for you."
"Okay..."
Qin ngshu gratefully smiled at Helian Shuang, feeling that with Helian Si taking care of her, her heart felt sweet.
After the al, Qin ngshu was in the kitchen brewing tea and cutting fruit.
"Ah Si, isn’t ng Shu nice?" Helian Shuang smiled, clearly satisfied with Helian Si’s behavior today.
"Yes." Helian Si nodded, his focus entirely elsewhere on the question.
"Sister." He changed the subject, "Where is Jinxuan?"
Helian Shuang’s hands shook, and her smile stiffened. "What?"
Lu Jinxuan was already gone, so Helian Si’s question... naturally concerned where he was buried. But why would he suddenly ask?
"Nothing, just thought... if I have ti, I’ll visit him." Helian Si said lightly.
"Why would you suddenly think that?" Helian Shuang’s words were evasive, and her heart raced faster.
Helian Si raised his eyebrows and retorted, "Is there sothing wrong with that? He is my nephew. All these years... I haven’t visited his grave."
"He..." Helian Shuang smiled awkwardly, "You’re his elder, so not visiting isn’t really wrong."
"Is he at the Lu Family’s grave?" Helian Si pursued the question relentlessly.
Helian Shuang opened her mouth, thinking about how to brush him off, and after a long while, she said, "No, he’s at the Helian Family’s cetery... you know, when he passed, Lu Yusen and I had already divorced. Lu Yusen left with Fei Xuan, so I had to take care of Jinxuan’s burial."
"Oh."
Helian Si nodded without continuing the conversation. As long as he knew Lu Jinxuan was at the Helian Family’s cetery, that was enough for him.
However, Helian Shuang’s worry increased, "When do you plan to visit?"
Helian Si returned to his usual indifferent manner, "When I have ti! It would be best if you could arrange it when you’re free, as I haven’t been there... I’m afraid I won’t find the way."
Upon hearing this, Helian Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly smiled: "That’s good, that’s good; you’re so busy, these matters should naturally be left to your elder sister..."
Just then, Qin ngshu ca over with the butler, carrying fruit and tea.
"Miss, Ah Si, have so tea."
Qin ngshu sat down next to Helian Si and picked up a fruit fork, spearing a strawberry and bringing it to Helian Si’s mouth, "Ah Si, have a strawberry."
"..." Helian Si frowned; he really was unaccustod to being fed like this.
Beside him, Helian Shuang pursed her lips and laughed, "Ah Si, open your mouth quickly! ng Shu’s hand is getting tired... all young people do this now; don’t be so old-fashioned and make ng Shu uncomfortable!"
Hearing this, although unwilling, Helian Si still cooperated by opening his mouth and taking a bite of the strawberry.
He was extrely disciplined, never shirking responsibilities. Since he agreed to being with Qin ngshu, then... everything a man should do, he would do. Even if he didn’t know how, he would learn and cooperate.
"Hehe." Qin ngshu laughed contentedly, her cheeks flushing.
...
Back in the inner courtyard, Helian Si checked the ti.
At this hour, would Yu Sangwan have already gone to rest? Tomorrow is the weekend, a public holiday; would she be free?
After so thought, Helian Si decided to dial Yu Sangwan’s number.
The phone rang twice before Yu Sangwan answered, "Hello, Mr. President?"
"Yes." Helian Si’s deep voice seeped through the phone, "Are you free tomorrow?"
"Hmm?" Yu Sangwan was taken aback, "What?"
"Tomorrow..." Helian Si paused, "I’ll take you to see Jinxuan."
"Really?" Yu Sangwan was thrilled, her voice even rising a notch.
"Of course." Helian Si, hearing how happy she was, couldn’t help but smile slightly, "I know where Jinxuan is; he’s at the Helian Family’s cetery. It requires a drive. Shall I... pick you up?"
Yu Sangwan thought about it. With her father and Le Zheng at ho... If they knew Helian Si was picking her up, it might not be appropriate.
She declined, "Your status is special, so how about we et at a location?"
"...Alright." Helian Si didn’t insist, agreeing with her, "See you tomorrow then."
"Yes, see you tomorrow."
After hanging up, Helian Si gazed at his phone for a long ti, reluctant to look away. The corners of his mouth lifted into a subtle smile as if what awaited him tomorrow was... not just a morial visit, but the very first eting of their youth, a date!
As for Yu Sangwan, she was so happy... she gently embraced the chubby little bun.
She whispered, "Little Bun, we’re going to see daddy tomorrow! Are you happy?"
