Then, he anxiously took a few steps forward and grabbed the arm of the man in front of him. âAh Xian, when did you come back? Didnât you say that youâre busy with work and wonât be back for the next few months? â
âIâve finished my work for the time being, so I came back early. â Tao Xian first gave his mother a big hug and then asked, âwhereâs my father? â
âOh, heâs upstairs resting. Oh right, didnât you say that youâre hungry just now? Iâll go make you something to eat. Wait for me. â Tao Xianâs mother smiled lovingly at her son. Because she hadnât seen her son for a while, she was very excited.
After she finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
Tao Xian nodded with a smile.
Then, after his mother went to the kitchen, he checked the landline in the living room. Soon, he saw a phone call that was introduced a few minutes ago. That number was extremely familiar to him, and he knew it by heart.
His smile faded away, and his eyes darkened.
After a while, he put on his previous smile and walked into the kitchen.
âMom, after I come back this time, I donât plan to go abroad often. In the future, Iâll be running around the house and the company for a long time. You can see me every day in the future. â Tao Xian walked to his motherâs side and put on an apron to help.
When his mother heard this, she asked him happily, âreally? Thatâs great. In that case, your father and I wonât be so bored that no one will talk to us every day. â
âHow can there be no one to talk to you? Donât tell me that no one usually calls mom, you, and dad? â Tao Xian tried to ask carefully.
His Mother didnât notice She hurriedly said, âof course there is. Yuyan often calls us, but she only talks to us on the phone and rarely comes home, so we still feel very lonely. âOh right, Yuyan just spoke to me on the phone. From her tone, she should be quite unhappy now. She said that there is someone opening a bookstore next to her bookstore, so the business might not be able to continue. She wants to transfer the bookstore and I told her to go back to our company to work, but she wasnât willing. I hung up the phone now and am also worried that her life will be difficult if she doesnât have a bookstore in the future. Iâm even more afraid that she wonât be able to live well and isnât willing to tell us, much less come back. Sigh. â
Mother Tao nagged on and on. The more she talked, the more her heart ached. Then, she complained, âI really donât know who the person who wants to open the bookstore next to Yuyanâs bookstore is. Why doesnât he leave any way out for her? â
âMom, I want to open the bookstore, â Tao Xian suddenly said with a serious tone.
Mother Tao was stunned when she heard that. Then, she quickly understood something.
She stared at her son in disbelief. âAh Xian, how could you do this? â Even though Yu Yan didnât agree to be with you, you canât force her into a corner just because you hate her. You canât be a couple, but youâre still brother and sister. If you do this, how will your father and I face Yu Yan?â
âMom, donât bother about this. I wonât hurt her. â Tao Xian didnât want to explain too much.
âAh Xian, tell mom clearly. Do you want to suppress Yu Yan, or do you want to get her back? â Tao Xianâs mother quickly felt that something was wrong. There must be something wrong.
Tao Xian had initially said that he was hungry, but after being interrogated by his mother, he immediately walked out of the kitchen. âForget it, mom. Iâm not hungry anymore. Iâll go back to my room to rest. â
He was fast, and Tao Xianâs mother had no choice. She knew that he wanted to avoid her, so she could only sigh helplessly.
In the end, she cooked a bowl of noodles for her son, then put the noodles down at the door of her sonâs room Helplessly, she said loudly, âson, I know that you donât want to tell me, so I wonât force you. The noodles are ready. Remember to bring them in to eat. Otherwise, it wonât be good if it gets cold. â
After saying that, mother Tao turned around and left.
After a while, Tao Xian opened the door and came out. Outside the door, mother Tao was indeed not there. There was only a bowl of noodles at the door.
He picked up the noodles and returned to the room.
After that, he sat in front of the office desk and ate noodles while checking the information that his assistant had just sent over.
The shop that was about to open the book store had almost been renovated. At most, it would be ready to open in a week.
He remembered that his mother had said that Yu Yanâs book store was about to be transferred out.
That meant it hadnât been transferred out yet.
He quickly finished the noodles and called his assistant He coldly instructed, âI heard that thereâs a bookstore next to the new bookstore that Iâve prepared for transfer. Go take a look. I want that store. Iâm willing to pay no matter how much it costs. But when signing the contract, the time and place must be set at the Peach Blossom House. Iâll sign it myself. â
The assistant immediately agreed and went to deal with it.
Only then did Tao Xian hang up the phone.
Peach Blossom House was a very quiet restaurant under the Tao familyâs name. It was a chain of hundreds of restaurants across the country.
The city he was currently in was the headquarters.
Peach Blossom House was his painstaking effort over the past few years, and it was also his most successful work at the moment.
When he was very young, a girl once told him that when she grew up, she wanted to open a restaurant with such a quiet style.
Now, he finally did it.
⦠â¦
The next day.
Tao Yuyan was sent away while Tang Xiaowei was reluctant to part.
Before she left, Tang Xiaowei gave Tao Yuyan a big hug, which immediately made Huangfu Qiyeâs face turn black.
Tao Yuyan did not hug Tang Xiaowei too much. She hugged Xiao Anan again and kissed Xiao Anan on the Cheek. Then, she said with a smile, âXiao Wei, an an, Mr. Huangfu, Iâll leave now. See you next time. â
She waved her hand and got into the car that Tang Xiaowei asked Huangfu Qiye to get the servants to prepare.
Tang Xiaowei and Xiao Anan were reluctant to let Tao Yuyan leave. Tang Xiaowei carried her son up. Both mother and son looked sad and could not help but wave at the car that was slowly leaving.
Xiao Anan shouted, âGodmother, an an will miss you. An an will come and play with you in a few days. â
Before the car had gone far, Tao Yuyan opened the car window and waved at the mother and son.
But soon, the car left the manor and couldnât be seen anymore.
At this moment, Xiao Anan knew that he couldnât hear his godmother anymore. He turned his gaze to the side and looked at his father beside him. He knew that his father didnât look right today.
It had always been a dark and heavy feeling, just like the clouds in the sky when it rained heavily yesterday.
He blinked his big eyes and asked Tang Xiaowei in a low voice, âmom, look quickly. Father doesnât look right. Is He sick? â
