Chapter 61 - Dinner Party Night {4}
Xiao Long seemed to be waiting for Qiao Xin, but his wife was still outside and had not returned. Then Xiao Long's eyes caught a familiar figure in his eyes, walking towards him with an extremely sly grin. The figure approached his parents, making Xiao Long feel disgusted by the look on his innocent, innocent face.
"Uncle, Aunt, how are you guys? It seems we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Xiao Long's parents immediately turned around, seeing the figure who greeted them made them immediately happy and hugged the figure.
"Cheng, is that you? How are you? Why did it take you so long to come back to this country? Auntie misses you so much," Xiao Long's mother finally spoke.
Xiao Long just chuckled. He was about to leave but was blocked by his grandfather. Yes, he is very lazy with Xuan Cheng. So how could he have to face that annoying Xuan Cheng?
"Brother Long, don't you miss me? Why did you leave right away after I came here? Haven't we seen each other for a long time?" said Xuan Cheng?
Xiao Long's jaw hardened, his eyes narrowed at Xuan Cheng. Then Xiao Long turned his face away.
"Even if you die, I'm more grateful," said Xiao Long, walked away from his family.
"Are you guys still fighting?" Xiao Long's mother asked again. She knew very well how the relationship between Xuan Cheng and Xiao Long was. The two of them used to be best friends, even more like brothers. But for some reason, Xiao Long and Xuan Cheng suddenly became enemies, even causing Xuan Cheng to decide to go abroad. Even after three years had passed, it seemed the relationship was still the same, so cold and distant. No change at all happened.
"No, Auntie. It seems you still don't know your own son. Long always said spicy words like that, wasn't that his habit? So I'm not going to take it to heart at all. More than anything else, I know Long the best. So, no problem, don't take it to heart." Xuan Cheng replied.
Xiao Long's parents smiled, and Xiao Long's father gently stroked Xuan Cheng's shoulder.
"Are you staying in your family's hotel, apartment, or house, Cheng?"
"I live in an apartment, Uncle. Oh yes, I heard from Father that Big Brother Long already has a wife. So I came here to see it. Besides, Grandpa Han has already sent me directly to take up a directorship at one of his subsidiaries, maybe there's something I need to take care of there."
Xiao Long's father looked at his father, and then he looked back at Xuan Cheng perfectly.
"Is there a problem at the company that Xiao Long can't handle?" asked Xiao Long's father in the end. Xuan Cheng smiled warmly in response to Xiao Long's father's question.
"Do not understand. Big Brother Long is a very extraordinary figure, it's just about this matter. Brother Long is a typical CEO who rarely goes directly to subsidiaries. He preferred to send people to handle matters like this and Big Brother Long preferred to do everything at the central company. So, Grandpa Han told me to help Brother Long a little in dealing with this matter, to find out a little bit what really happened."
"Is the problem that serious?" Xiao Long's mother then asked. Xuan Cheng stroked Xiao Long's mother's hand.
"Calm down, Auntie. Even if the problems at this subsidiary couldn't be resolved, the Han family wouldn't have suffered such a terrible bankruptcy. The Han family company is a very solid company, a small pebble can never make the Han family company shake at all."
Xiao Long's parents smiled, too, causing Xuan Cheng to smile back. At least, that was the relief they felt now, and Xuan Cheng's presence could save it.
"Oh yeah, later when Qiqi comes back, I'll introduce her to you. Just you wait, she said she was gone for a while," added Xiao Long's mother.
Toilet? Hearing the toilet for some reason intrigued Xuan Cheng. He remembered the figure he had met in the hallway earlier, the beautiful woman who had caught her eye.
"Okay, Auntie. If I'm going to meet Big Sister Qiqi later, I'll go get some fresh air first."
Xuan Cheng finally decided to go out. Being in the park was fun now. He spread his eyes, looking for a place that was at least comfortable, sat, and contemplated everything he was doing now. At first, Xuan Cheng did not agree with his father's request. But in reality, Xuan Cheng couldn't resist at all. He loves the Han family. He loves the Han family more like his own family. So, even if he were annoyed with Xiao Long, he would endure it and try to do good. However, I don't know how long.
Xuan Cheng slowed his pace when he saw a female figure sitting on one of the chairs in the garden. Seeing the woman's dress made Xuan Cheng's lips curl into a sweet smile. Yes, that woman was the woman he had met in the hallway earlier, and for some reason, he always met her in places like this. Seeing if the woman seemed to be hugging her body, it seemed that the woman was cold. How could I not, in a place like this, the woman was only wearing a sleeveless dress? Xuan Cheng immediately took off his tuxedo, then walked over and put the tuxedo on to the woman who had now turned to look at him.
"You-"
"Sit down, it's getting late. A woman sitting here alone hugging herself, wearing my coat. So that you don't catch a cold, it's not a big deal either." Xuan Cheng said.
Qiao Xin couldn't help but smile at the words of the man she didn't even recognize, and then she took a deep breath.
"Why did you go out? Have you met your friend yet?" Qiao Xin asked in the end.
Xuan Cheng fell silent again, looked at Qiao Xin with a radiant expression on his face, nodded his head sweetly, then sat down next to Qiao Xin. Close the distance, and then he looks embracing.
"I don't really like crowds. Already used to enjoying the silence, why did you choose to be here yourself?" asked Xuan Cheng then. Qiao Xin seemed to take a deep breath. There was absolutely no way he would say he was avoiding people who made him uncomfortable.
"There are people who piss me off there. So I'm lazy to be inside."
Meanwhile, Xiao Long seemed to be looking for Qiao Xin. His footsteps came to a halt when he saw Qiao Xin sitting together with Xuan Cheng from a distance. Xiao Long's jaw clenched, his hands became even stronger. But Xiao Long didn't do anything other than just standing still. It was as if Xiao Long had no intention of taking Qiao Xin away from there.
"Young Mr. Han, isn't that Young Mr. Xuan?" asked Tao, who had just come and stood beside Xiao Long. Xiao Long was still silent, and he was reluctant to say anything. "Isn't that Young Lady Han? Why are they sitting alone in such a lonely place?" Tao asked again. Xiao Long's hands moved, tightly clenched, but he didn't respond to Tao's words at all. "Young Mr. Han didn't invite Young Lady Han to come in?" Tao asked when he saw Xiao Long turning around to enter the hotel. Xiao Long only glanced at Tao with an extremely cold expression, making Tao somewhat scared too. "Afraid, Mr. Han will ask where Young Lady Han is, Young Mr. Han."
"She has legs, if she wanted to come in, couldn't she have done it earlier?" Xiao Long replied with an annoyed expression on his face. Entered the hotel, then disappeared from Tao's sight. Tao looked back at the closed door, and then he took a deep breath.
"Young Mr. Han, aren't you afraid that something terrible will happen again? Leaving Young Lady Han like this is not a very good thing."

Qiao Xin seemed to be silent while hugging her knees, and she couldn't sleep, especially when she saw Xiao Long's strange behavior. How not, during the journey home even up to this second, Xiao Loong was silent. The man didn't say anything at all. Xiao Long would usually talk a lot and always irritate her.
"Bad boy, are you sick?" Qiao Xin asked in the end. Xiao Long didn't respond at all.
Qiao Xin took a deep breath, and then she looked back at Xiao Long, who had now taken a sleeping position and had his back to her. Feeling neglected, Qiao Xin walked around the bed and saw Xiao Long, who seemed to have closed his eyes.
"I think our drama is going well, then why do you look displeased? Look, tomorrow I'm going to work. We will start our activities, as usual, you with your own busyness, I with your own busyness. At home we will act like husband and wife again, isn't that a lot of fun?"
Xiao Long didn't reply to Qiao Xin's words anymore. All he did was close his eyes tightly. Seeing this, Qiao Xin took a deep breath, and then she glanced at Xiao Long again.
"Basic man is not clear, it seems that you are the CEO of a company. You deserve to be a crazy, temperamental, and controlling man, is that fun for you? Base!" Qiao Xin immediately returned to her place, and then she went to sleep. Meanwhile, Xiao Long slowly opened his eyes, his jaw tightened again, and he didn't say anything. Yes, he's in a bad mood. For some reason, bad memories always make him upset. Especially now that Qiao Xin was joining in as well, like feelings piled into one.
