The breakfast that he had brought her was indeed quite good, and the local dish was rather light as well, which suited her appetite. For the first time, it allowed her to eat half a bowl more porridge than usual.

If it were five or six years ago, when someone told him that there would be a day when he would not be able to sleep because of a woman, he would definitely snort disdainfully. But until now, he had to admit that Shen Xiran was indeed an extremely important person in his heart.

It made him both bitter and sweet, and worried that there was something wrong with her body that kept him awake all night. When he saw the pale blue sky outside the window, he simply got up and went to the most famous breakfast place in the place, just so she could have the most delicious breakfast.

She didn't know anything about it, and he didn't want her to know.

She finished her meal in silence and asked him, "Should we set off?"

He nodded, got up and tidied up the table, then said, "If everything goes well, we'll be able to settle things today and go back tomorrow."

"So fast?" She was surprised. She thought they were staying here for half a month, just like they used to.

He glanced at her. "If you think it's faster, you can go back a little slower. I don't mind."

Her smile was a little stiff. "No need. Tomorrow will be very good."

He smiled silently at the bottom of his heart. Sometimes, it was still very fun to see her unable to maintain her cold expression.

However, he did not dare to say it out loud.

Today was the same as the day before. They held a day's worth of meetings in the branch office, and Si Lianye made many decisions, including expelling the supervisors who had committed mistakes, being demoted, and also making a series of transfers. She acted swiftly and decisively, causing Shen Xiran, who was watching by the side, to be secretly shocked.

After so many years of grinding, Si Lianye seemed to have completely faded away from her youth, and became a mature and outstanding person at the top. Could she really defeat such a terrifying man?

She suddenly felt weak from the bottom of her heart.

While she was lost in her thoughts, she did not know that the meeting had ended. As the crowd left, they all looked at her strangely, but she did not know at all. She was still lost in her thoughts.

Seeing that, Si Lianye walked up and asked: "Are you daydreaming?"

As he asked, he placed his hand on her shoulder. It was just a casual action, but he didn't expect her to suddenly jump up.

"You … "It's you …"

Though she calmed down quickly, the momentary panic in her eyes did not escape his.

He calmly asked, "I saw you in a daze, did you feel unwell again?"

She shook her head. She had been too lost in her thoughts just now. His actions had nearly frightened her to death.

Even now, she could still feel the cold sweat on her back.

He changed the subject and said, "Things have been settled. Tomorrow, we should be able to return home as planned."

"Is that so? That would be great. " When she thought of seeing her precious son tomorrow, she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that, Si Lianye was first happy, and then jealous, when would she be able to show him her purest smile?

He suppressed the thoughts in his heart, turned around and said, "It's getting late, let's go eat something and then go for a stroll in the evening."

"Going shopping? Where are we going? " She was stunned and followed up to ask.

"I only heard it from someone. I'll know when I get there." he said slowly.

Hearing this, she felt a little strange.

When he arrived, he found out that it was a restaurant with a weird decorative style. The feeling of the combination of the Chinese style and the European style made him feel very weird.

However, looking at the bustling noise coming from inside, the food inside should be delicious.

He led her in, spoke to the waiter who came forward to greet her, and was soon ushered into a private room. A small door separated them from the outside customers, and she felt suddenly much quieter around her.

"Is there any noise? This is also my first time here and they recommended me to come here. They said that it's because the food is delicious that there are so many people here. After saying that, he ordered some dishes from the restaurant's signboard.

She thought for a moment and ordered a light dish for herself.

When Si Lianye saw this, she sighed softly. The last time she clearly liked dishes with heavy tastes, her current taste had also completely changed.

On the other hand, she had so many sentiments of her own. Eating light food was good for her body, as she had slowly gotten used to it.

"After we finish eating, we'll go out for a walk. The past few years have been pretty good, there are a lot of places we can take a look at." "No," he said.

Tonight, he was exceptionally approachable, completely different from his usual cold and sharp attitude. She was not used to it, and only reacted after he had finished speaking for half a day.

"What's wrong with you? How many times have I seen you in a daze? Is there something on your mind? " he asked her with a relaxed smile.

"Nope." At least I think you're getting scarier and scarier.

She was unwilling to say, so he did not press her and said to her, "This dessert is pretty good, why don't you try it?"

Her dessert was the always small and exquisite caramel pudding. It was dark red in color and it faintly emitted the fragrance of caramel, making one drool uncontrollably from smelling it.

She picked up a spoonful and gently scooped a piece into her mouth. She was immediately subdued by the wonderful taste. The smooth and tender pudding, along with the rich caramel flavor, interweaved harmoniously, causing her entire mouth to be filled with a moving fragrance.

She could not help but nod. "It's very delicious." After which, he dug out another large piece without any hesitation.

As he looked at her, he suddenly thought back to their first meeting. Back then, she had also been so naive and unpretentious. Now, he had rarely seen this side of her.

He smiled and pushed the dessert in front of him over. "This is for you."

In front of him was Tiramisu, sprinkled with a thick layer of chocolate powder that was equally fragrant.

She originally wanted to refuse, but after smelling the fragrance, she couldn't help but look at him with bright eyes. "Really?"

He smiled and nodded, pushing the plate of Tiramisu toward her again.

She stopped being polite and finished her caramel pudding in one breath. Then, she ate his Tiramisu and quietly burped a few times.

She felt a little awkward. Although she had covered it up in time, he might have heard it too. She was truly embarrassed.

When she peeked at his face and realized that he didn't seem to notice, she slowly calmed down.

However, regardless, tonight's meal still made her happy.

The two of them walked out of the restaurant, and when the night wind blew on them, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but still could not cover up the hiccuping sound.

She secretly looked at Si Lianye, only to discover that he was pointing to the front as if nothing had happened and said: "It's still early, let's go for a walk over there."

Feeling grateful, she lowered her hand to follow his finger and found that he was pointing to a large square. There seemed to be a lot of tourists inside, and there was even the faint sound of music coming from the square.

Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly nodded. "Sure, sure."

By taking a walk like this, he would be able to eat.

He didn't know if he had thought about it in advance, or if he had just watched her eat so much on purpose, but his suggestion was just what she wanted.

Thus, the two of them slowly walked to the opposite plaza. Only when they got closer did they discover a huge fountain pool with various sculptures inside. There were also a lot of fountain columns dancing to the music.

The place was bustling with noise and excitement.

She couldn't help but take a few steps forward, wanting to take a good look at the situation. However, there were still too many people here, and the devilish brat was even more so as he scurried around everywhere. Just after taking a few steps forward, she was struck by a child who suddenly rushed out.

Si Lianye stood behind her and caught her hand just in time. Her body swayed and she directly fell into his embrace.

Her face reddened, as she held onto his chest. "Right … "Sorry …"

"It doesn't matter." He looked down at her and gently released her.

When the warm hand left her body, she suddenly had a feeling of loss.

She composed herself and looked at his calm expression. She decided that she couldn't lose too much face, so she stood up and continued to look at the beautiful scenery.

Si Lianye quietly looked at her from the side, completely ignoring the beautiful scenery around him. In his opinion, even the most beautiful scenery under the heavens added together could not compare to her beauty.

In fact, she wasn't really calm either. Although the scene in front of her eyes was very beautiful, someone was staring at her with a gaze that seemed calm but was actually blazing. No matter how much she pretended to be indifferent, she still felt a bit uneasy.

She really wanted to ask him what exactly he was looking at, but deep down she felt that if he really answered, it might not be the kind of answer she wanted to hear.

As a result, one looked, the other pretended not to know, and went to watch the lively scene. In an instant, the atmosphere between the two of them was very harmonious.

But not long after, the situation between them changed. The reason was because Si Lianye was suddenly lightly touched by someone.

He lowered his head and only saw a little girl who was around his waist tall looking up at him with a bunch of flowers in her hands. She looked at him expectantly and said, "This beautiful big brother here, please buy a flower. I will be very happy."
