Obviously, his threat had no effect on Xiao Ze, but made him even angrier. Those big watery eyes only revealed one word: I want to cry.

Xia Lan stood beside Gu Xi Jue and quietly pulled his sleeves, telling him to stop talking. With so many people making Xiao Ze yell and cry, it would be dishonorable if he did not do so.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Lan said, "Can I give you a chocolate bar as a reward?"

"Add another ice cream, no more." Xia Lan knew that Xiao Ze wasn't really angry, he was just angry that she and Gu Xi Jue had left him for so long, and that's all.

Xiao Ze also stopped after seeing this, and immediately revealed a row of small white teeth: "Then it's a deal, don't be shameless."

Gu Xi Jue once again felt that it was inconceivable. Was his son so easy to coax?

It was as if this method had a little more effect than his threat.

Mm, just a little.

Han Ke Yun who was at the side crossed his arms and protested: "You two treat me, a doctor, as air, Gu Xiao Ze, you can't eat chocolate."

"Just one piece." Xiao Ze promised.

Xia Lan thought that Han Ke Yun was a good person and was very cheerful, so she started a joke: "If Xiao Ze has toothache, Doctor Han has a patient to look at."

"Alright, you guys have won. You guys have been together with Gu for a long time, yet your mouths are so sharp." Han Ke Yun acted as if he was at a disadvantage.

"Alright, let's go." Gu Xi Jue said, just as Xia Lan was thinking. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, there would be other people that she could not think of appearing.

"I'm about to leave too. Do I need to send you guys off?" Han Ke Yun still had to work the night shift tonight, so he didn't drink.

"No need, I don't drink much, I can drive." Gu Xi Jue rejected his tactfully, because he still had to send Xia Lan home first.

After saying goodbye, Gu Xi Jue led the way, Xia Lan pulled Xiao Ze behind her, and walked to the entrance. Xia Lan turned her head as she walked, as she knew what she was looking at.

He wanted to take a look, but he was afraid that he would really see Xiao Yan.

Xia Lan was startled, then laughed: "Not a boyfriend."

"Yi?" Xiao Ze had a look of surprise on his face as he shouted towards the front: "Daddy, beautiful auntie said that she's not her boyfriend."

Xia Lan wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. Gu Xi Jue turned to look at her, and said with a serious tone: "Is that your boyfriend?"

Xia Lan did not expect him to ask such a question so suddenly.

After sending her home, Gu Xi said to Xia Lan, "I'm on a business trip tomorrow and won't be entering the office."

"How many days?" After Xia Lan asked this question, she suddenly had a very strange feeling.

It was just like when a husband went on a business trip and reported to his wife before he left, she would casually ask, "When are you coming back?"

Gu Xi Jue's eyes flashed with a strange color as well. He seemed to have also felt that this feeling was subtle and he did not reject it.

He added, "To Switzerland."

"Oh." Xia Lan nodded, and the question she wanted to ask was: "Then what about Xiao Ze?"

"To his grandmother's house." Gu Xi Jue replied indifferently.

"I want to come to your pretty aunt's house." Xiao Ze immediately protested.

"Go to your grandmother's house." Gu Xi Jue's gaze was serious, and could not be refuted.

Xiao Ze looked at Xia Lan pitifully, Xia Lan rubbed his head, indicating that she was also helpless.

Upstairs, Xia Lan took a shower for the entire night, but she did not sleep a wink. Her mind was filled with Xiao Yan and her father, whose father had suffered a stroke.

Furthermore, she was really afraid that Xiao Yan would come and find her again in the future. His words were like a spell right before their departure, making her nervous.

The past came back to her. If it hadn't been for those nights four years ago, she would have felt very happy. But now, she felt that she was no longer qualified to be happy.

Happiness. But now, she felt that she no longer had the qualifications to be happy.

The next day, Xia Lan went to the company very early in the morning. However, when she found out that Gu Xi Jue was not around, she did not have a single job. Before he went on business, she had already finished all the work here, so there was no need for her to follow up.

After a night of not sleeping at all, he started to get drowsy after ten o'clock, and was coincidentally seen by Luo Song. He said kindly: "Xia Lan, didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Xia Lan nodded and rubbed her head, "That's right, I couldn't sleep last night."

Then, Luo Song said in a considerate manner, "Since Gourmet is not here, you should go home and rest."

"You don't want it?" Xia Lan shook her head. It was not good to let his colleagues know, but they would still gossip.

"What are you afraid of? If the Gourmet is not here, I will be in charge." Luo Song very confidently made the arrangements.

What he said was right, Luo Song's personal assistant was a secret that many others did not know about. He knew, in fact, that he was the person Gu Xi Jue trusted the most, so he had absolute power.

was not stupid either, he had already seen that there was a slight relationship between Gourmet and Xia Lan. He was able to stand above all the people in Yattai Group, so no matter what, he would definitely catch a glimpse of them. His intuition told him that the Xia Lan in front of him was definitely not simple, so this was a good opportunity to curry favor with him.

He could also tell that Xiao Ze was very, very attached to Xia Lan. What if she was the CEO of the Yattai Group in the future?

You can't say anything!

Seeing that Luo Song's attitude was extremely unyielding, Xia Lan was truly too sleepy: "Then thank you. Call me if you have anything to say, I'll be right back."

"Go, go. Nothing will happen." Luo Song chuckled as he let Xia Lan go home.

Xia Lan slept all the way until night, when she was woken up by the doorbell. When she opened the door, she saw Xiao Ze standing outside with a small backpack on his back, together with a woman who looked to be of good temperament.

"Beautiful auntie, you're at home. Xiao Ze misses you." Xiao Ze stabbed his head into Xia Lan's leg.

Xia Lan patted his head, and politely nodded to the lady she did not know: "Xiao Ze, who is this?"

Who was it?
