Chapter Seventy-Three: Don't Let Him Know

Li Manxue's voice was cautious, looking at the man expectantly.

Since her first accidental miscarriage, she has never been pregnant, and she doesn't know if God is punishing her, she also wants to give birth to a baby for the Leng family as soon as possible, regardless of whether it is male or female, when she is pregnant, it is impossible for Leng's father and mother to continue to turn her away.

"Let's talk about it." Leng Mo's eyes were always on the article, and he answered casually.

Li Manxue's heart sank, but she was still cheeky and didn't give up.

"Mo, let's go to bed early at such a late hour, don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"

The man's gaze finally moved from between the lines to her, but it was a vision that made her feel tense.

"Rest for yourself."

After speaking, Leng Mo got up and got out of bed and left the bedroom directly.

Downstairs, Aunt Mei hadn't finished her work yet, and was preparing supper in the kitchen, when she saw Leng Mo coming down and asked heavily, "Does the young master need supper?" ”

"No, you don't." Leng Mo subconsciously swept towards Xu Xiangsi's room, "Is it for Sisi?" ”

"Yes, there is also a little lady who has prepared one." Saying that, Aunt Mei smiled and said, "Eh, there is one more child, the family is really a lot more lively, no wonder Mrs. often comes over." ”

The old butler also echoed on the side, and his tone was full of nostalgia and sighing.

"Yes, think about when Miss Acacia was picked up, she was so young, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and even the young lady who watched her grow up had her own children"

Listening to the chattering memories of the domestic helper, Leng Mo couldn't help but think of Xu Xiangsi when he was young.

At that time, he thought he was going to take care of the girl for the rest of his life.

"Speaking of which, Miss Acacia has worked hard for so many years, it's a pity, I haven't seen Miss Acacia's gift to the young master back then, it's mysterious, it's really a big ghost at that time."

The housekeeper said, "Hehe" smiled kindly, but Leng Mo frowned slightly, "What gift?" ”

The old butler couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you remember, young master?" Miss Acacia said that it was a graduation gift, and she also separated us, saying that it was to keep the mystery and let you know only to experience the surprise. ”

Leng Mo's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and she searched in her memory for the days when Xu Xiangsi celebrated her graduation and coming-of-age ceremony, and there was no so-called "surprise" at all, but the housekeeper couldn't lie, or did she change her mind temporarily and didn't send it out?

At this time, Aunt Mei came out of the kitchen, carrying oatmeal and a fruit bowl and preparing to go upstairs, but Leng Mo said, "I'll send it." ”

Looking at Leng Mo's back upstairs, the housekeeper was a little worried, he just mentioned the things of the year in passing, why did the young master seem to attach great importance to it?

"Please come in"

After Leng Mo knocked on the door, Xu Yuanyuan's voice came from inside.

The moment she saw the man enter, Little Lori's eyes widened in surprise: "Uncle Leng!" ”

This shout shocked Xu Xiangsi, who was staring at the computer, and quickly turned her head, she thought it was the housekeeper or Aunt Mei, but she didn't expect Leng Mo to come in person, which made her suddenly have a "sense of crisis".

"Your supper." Leng Mo ignored the surprise when the girl turned her head and put down the food.

"Thank you."

Xu Xiangsi opened her mouth a little crampedly, wishing that the man would go out quickly, but unfortunately it backfired, Leng Mo walked over instead, and after a cursory glance at her computer screen, she asked, "Are you sure you want to work?" ”

"Of course." Mentioning this, Xu Xiangsi nodded firmly, "I can't always rely on Wei Yang's help, I always have to be financially independent." ”

"Good idea. Have you decided which company to go to? ”

Xu Xiangsi looked at him with some surprise, Leng Mo seemed to be very good at talking today.

"I haven't thought about it yet, and besides, it's not like I'm going to be hired wherever I want."

Leng Mo raised his eyebrows, "The people I teach shouldn't be arrogant. ”

To be honest, with Xu Xiangsi's current strength, it is no problem to enter the Ministry of Finance, a world-class large company, originally she was very talented in this major, and she worked hard in a university with excellent teachers for three years, even if she entered the headquarters of the Leng family, she could compete.

"It's not presumptuous, it's just humble." Xu Xiangsi couldn't help but argue, "Besides, it's not you who taught it, it's whether it's good or not taught by university professors."

Leng Mo revealed a slightly playful tone: "It's the university I chose." ”

β€œβ€

Xu Xiangsi suddenly had nothing to say, after all, Leng Mo was telling the truth, and besides, she was provided with food and drink by him from a few years old to a teenager, including education and conduct, and it was not bad to say that he "taught".

Xu Yuanyuan, who was on the side, sat at the head of the bed and ate the supper on the bedside table, keeping a half-ignorant state of understanding the conversation between the two adults, and surprisingly well-behaved, without the usual noisy jubilation.

Of course, Leng Mo also noticed this, so he took the initiative to ask the child: "Yuanyuan, is it delicious?" ”

Xu Yuanyuan nodded, "It's delicious, does Uncle Leng want to eat it?" ”

Leng Mo was about to refuse, but after glancing at Xu Xiangsi, he changed his words: "If I eat it, what will your mommy do?" ”

At this moment, Xiao Lori frowned tightly, and thought about it in a dilemma, "That, then mine is for you to eat, don't take Mommy's"

Xu Xiangsi's heart warmed, and she couldn't bear to see her daughter entangled, so she hurriedly said: "It's okay, Mommy is not hungry, you just eat." ”

Leng Mo listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and his heart seemed to be gripped.

If he is Yuanyuan's father

Although this absurd thought flashed, it lingered in Leng Mo's heart for a long time, thinking of what the housekeeper said, he opened his mouth to Xu Xiangsi, and the mildness just now seemed to be an illusion, and in an instant it became as cold and indifferent as in the past.

"I have something to ask you."

The abrupt sentence made Xu Xiangsi blink inexplicably, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not convenient here, it will disturb the children." After Leng Mo finished speaking, he walked directly towards the door.

Xu Xiangsi looked at her daughter helplessly, "Well, Mommy and your uncle have something to do, I'll come back later." ”

Little Lori nodded sensibly.

As soon as Xu Xiangsi went out, she saw Leng Mo facing her back on the balcony not far away, she was about to walk over, but she suddenly had a little teasing thought, so she slowed down and moved over lightly.

He must have been surprised if he had blindfolded him, right?

Xu Xiangsi just finished thinking about it this second, and felt that he was lawless in the next second, how could Leng Mo break his temper when he was angry?

However, before she could finish her brain, she heard a man's soft voice: "What are you doing standing behind?" ”

Xu Xiangsi was stunned for a moment, obediently side by side with him, and asked with a dry smile: "How do you know that I am behind you?" ”

Leng Mo's eyes were a bit like looking at a fool, and he replied, "Aren't you going to explain what you did just now?" ”

"Uh" Xu Xiangsi rolled his eyes smartly, and said in a hurry: "I just think your perfume smells good today, so I want to get closer and feel it." ”

Without clichΓ©s, you know that what the girl said is a lame excuse, Leng Mo didn't give her face at all, and directly pierced it, "Today? I didn't change the perfume. ”

β€œβ€

Xu Xiangsi twitched her eyebrows, Leng Mo was deliberately teasing her, right? When did he have such a wicked move!

"Well, I just want to scare you." The girl was helplessly honest and lowered her head with a wistful expression.

Looking at her hair, Leng Mo asked lightly, "Is your 'surprise' always so weird?" ”

Xu Xiangsi looked up at him inexplicably, not knowing why, "What 'surprise'?" ”

"It seems that you really didn't plan to give me a gift, maybe the housekeeper made a mistake."

Leng Mo played "luring the snake out of the hole" with one hand, Xu Xiangsi was really ignited by his curiosity in an instant, and immediately asked, "What gift?" How could I have forgotten to give you a gift! ”

She used to be so attentive to Leng Mo that she would not forget anything she promised him.

Leng Mo replied calmly: "Graduation gift." ”

These four words made Xu Xiangsi feel like a lightning strike, and his body froze in an instant, and the blood in his body seemed to be about to coagulate.

Seeing the girl's reaction so big, indifference instantly understood that there must be something going on that he didn't know, and he didn't bother to continue to pretend to be patient, and said loudly: "Speak." ”

"What graduation gift? I, I never prepared those things for you" Xu Xiangsi was excited, and after reacting, she lamely covered up her emotions, but it was completely unsuccessful, and her stumbling words betrayed the lies she told in minutes.

"Sisi, don't try to hide it from me, when I find out in person, there will be punishment."

The man's cold words made Xu Xiangsi suddenly wake up like a dream.

He didn't even check it, so he was sure that he had done something wrong, and when he really knew about Yuanyuan's matter

No, you must not let him know!

Xu Xiangsi bit her lip and lowered her head to try to make her voice sound calm, "I actually prepared a surprise for you back then, but it was a mess that day, so I haven't had the courage to tell you." ”

Leng Mo narrowed his eyes dangerously, "What surprise?" ”

Xu Xiangsi's head turned quickly, and then his eyes lit up, and he raised his head and said: "I used my pocket money to buy you a very good bottle of red wine, but on the way back, I accidentally broke it, and I was very depressed, so I didn't tell you." Uncle, forgive me this time, okay? ”

Hearing the title of "uncle" from the girl's mouth again, Leng Mo frowned.

For some reason, he actually thought the title sounded too harsh.
