While talking, he reached out and grabbed Lan Qian's other arm, and helped him up onto the carriage.
Lan Qian sat in a leather seat beside the Lincoln. Seated on the left and right were two juniors whom he had watched grow up since a young age. His slightly cloudy eyes flashed with a hint of lament, "You guys have all grown up.
"Uncle Lan, your age is getting stronger and stronger. Don't be modest in front of us." Huo Yaoting smiled, sat on the opposite carriage, and squinted his eyes at Lan Qian.
After they were seated, the line of black cars slowly drove out of the airport.
The solemn atmosphere in the airport was finally relieved, and the lively atmosphere returned to its normal state.
Inside the car.
When Lan Qian heard him say this, he was so happy that he started laughing, "You only know how to make my old man happy."
Huo Yaoting lazily picked up the box and was about to take out a cigarette to light it up.
However, Lan Qian waved his hand, "I still want to live a few more years, I don't want to smoke your second-hand cigarettes. Put it away quickly, put it away properly."
If it was any other person, Huo Yaoting would definitely not put them in his eyes.
It was time to draw.
But the Lan Qian opposite him was no other than him, he treated him with... It was a kindness!
He was the only person in his previous twenty-eight years who had cared for him like an elder.
He couldn't just ignore his thoughts.
Thus, he raised his eyebrows, Huo Yaoting shrugged his shoulders indifferently and casually threw the cigarette case on the table.
At this moment, a glass of red wine was handed to him.
Huo Yaoting pursed his lips, looked at the owner of the red wine cup in his hand, and took a sip.
Seeing this, the man's cold lips curled up slightly.
He knew he was addicted to cigarettes, and if he failed to smoke when he wanted to, his temper would be even more irritable than usual.
It's good to have some red wine instead of some relief.
Lan Qian looked at Huo Yaoting, and in the end, his gaze landed on the man who had just passed Huo Yaoting a red wine, "Prime Minister, later on, please send my old man back to the Lan's Mansion with a few words. You know that those two brats are busy people, so let them busy themselves."
As he spoke, he looked at Huo Yaoting and the other man.
Huo Chengshang did not object and nodded.
Huo Yaoting squinted his eyes, "Uncle Lan, nothing is more important than you, I'll send you back to your Lan's Mansion first."
"I agree." The other man nodded.
Huo Yaoting's words made Lan Qian's heart warm up.
They looked at each other.
He sighed softly.
They were stubborn people.
Fine.
If you want to send her off, so be it!
Lan's Mansion was an ancient, lofty courtyard. It was a little bit like the houses of ancient families.
In the courtyard, there were pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, gardens, as well as mountains, rivers, and bluestone paths.
If you open the compound to view, it will also be a very popular tourist attraction.
More importantly, the air was fresh and there was no bustle of the city. It was as if it was a rare paradise in the fast paced city life.
The moment they stepped into the Lan's Mansion, the few of them couldn't help but deeply inhale this rare clear air.
Lan Qian stood in the courtyard, his eyes gleaming under the reading glasses.
He had too many memories of this courtyard.
He had come back from twenty years ago and had forgotten many things. Now, it was like a repeat of what had happened before him.
The image of the girl with a big belly who was painfully kneeling at the entrance of the courtyard and begging him for forgiveness as a heartless father was especially clear.
Where is the child now?
For a moment, Lan Qian's heart was filled with grief, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
Seeing that, Huo Yaoting and the others were shocked.
"Uncle Lan??" Huo Yaoting had just opened his mouth when he waved his hand, "You all can leave. Let this old man calm down for a moment, and then I'll contact you guys again."Let's go."
"??" Huo Yaoting and the other two frowned, they looked at each other, then turned and walked out.
"You can go, Uncle Lan has me." The moment he said those words, Huo Chengshang looked at Huo Yaoting with a gentle gaze and said indifferently.
Huo Yaoting's thin lips twitched. Looking over from the main gate, he just so happened to see Lan Qian, who was still standing stiffly in the courtyard.
Another man patted Huo Chengshang's shoulder, "Big brother, it's been hard on you."
A warm smile appeared on Huo Chengshang's cold face as he shook the man's shoulder and said, "There's no need to be polite with me."
The man chuckled, turned around, and walked back to the car.
Huo Chengshang watched the carriage drive off before returning to his usual indifferent face. Like a well-built sculpture, he guarded the entrance of the courtyard as he watched the old man inside.
During the lunch break, Lan Shan, who was lying beside her, had already fallen asleep. Ye Xi was completely awake, her small hands still holding onto her phone, her face at a loss for words.
Finally, she lifted the quilt and gently got off the bed, walking towards the balcony.
There was a lounge chair on the hotel balcony, and she sank into it.
Her fingertip quickly moved across the screen and a message was sent from her fingertip.
"Have you reached City B? Reply when you see the news."
The reason for sending the message was not to make a phone call.
Because she had secretly called many times in the morning, someone's phone was turned off.
Even though he felt that nothing would happen to him, he couldn't help but worry about him.
He wanted to confirm his current situation.
Ye Xi didn't really understand why he was doing this, and he guessed that?? Because I like it!
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair.
A moment later, the phone vibrated in her hand.
Ye Xi's face lit up.
He immediately opened his eyes and sat up straight to check his phone.
His eyes dimmed a little when he saw that the sender of the message was an unfamiliar cell phone number.
He lazily clicked on the unread message.
But it was only one glance.
Ye Xi suddenly stood up from the chair as if he had been injected with blood.
His eyes were as big as bells, as he read the contents of the message in horror.
"My little wife, one good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to know first?"
Although it was just a message, Ye Xi could imagine how evil and unrivalled a certain someone must have been to say such words.
Swallowing his throat, Ye Xi tremblingly replied, "I don't want to know any of them."
Soon, the other end came back.
"No, I have to choose one!"
Are you such a tyrant!]
Ye Xi's face revealed an expression of anger but he did not say anything. After a long while, he finally replied, "Good news."
He chose to listen to the good news first.
If she had heard the bad news first and then the good news later, even if that news was really good, she probably wouldn't have been able to laugh.
Since Qiao Jinglian said that it was bad news, then it must be something extremely, especially bad for her. On this aspect, he had never lied to her before!
From this, it could be seen how miserable she had been under his pressure before!
As Ye Xi was thinking, the other one returned to him.
"The good news is, I'm back!"
"??"
A burst of thunder rumbled above Ye Xi's head.
Ye Xi clenched his fists. At one point, he thought that he had seen a bit too much. After reading his message back and forth eight hundred times, the result was indeed?? He, Qiao Jinglian, had returned!
But, what kind of good news was this?
It was obviously the worst news she had heard, alright?
Ye Xi endured the convulsions on his face and replied, "Then, may I ask if there is any more bad news?"
In less than three seconds, the message returned.
"Yes, you're in trouble!"
"??"
