Chapter 50

By the time Li Zixuan returned to the company after the lunch meeting, it was almost 5 pm in the evening. He had delayed purposely in the hotel to avoid meeting her but he was both glad and disappointed that he didn't get to see her.

 He sat on his office chair expressionlessly massaging his aching head as he listened to the continued ranting of the frail assistant in front of him.

 " Boss, this is the final proposal of the Huang Estate project. The required amendments have been made. "

 Li Zixuan received the document and frowned. " Why is it so late, do they get paid to idle around?! "

 Tan Liang swallowed hard and hurriedly handed him another file. He needed to flee the suffocating room as soon as possible.

 " This is the detailed information about the nurse hired for the old mistress Li. "

 Li Zixuan picked the file and placed it aside when his phone rang.

 " What do you want? " He backed at the caller with a deep frown.

 " My favorite cousin Xuanxuan, i'm i disturbing you? " A soft voice of a man was heard on the other side of the phone. Tan Liang almost had goosebums when he heard him.

 Li Zixuan's expression tightened. " Get lost if you have nothing sensible to do! "

 " No, no cousin Xuanxuan, I've a small favor to ask from you. A very tiny one. " He paused as if to gauge the emotions of the receiver.

 " Get to the point or scram. "

 " Um, Lan and I happened to be out of town so I was asking if you'd um... p...pick Tiantian up for a couple of days... "

 " You've gone crazy! " Li Zixuan snapped and mercilessly hung up the phone before tossing it on the table.

 He rubbed his temples and coldly ordered the assistant, " pick that thing from the kindergarten. "

 " Yes boss. " Tan Liang quickly vanished from the office.

 Ellen returned to the Song's restaurant at almost 7 in the evening. The restaurant was a bit packed and lively such that it was almost difficult to find an empty table.

 She found her way to the kitchen, pulled out a chair and sat. The old Song Wei shook his head when his eyes fell on her unladylike posture.

 Ellen felt his burning gaze and lifted her eyes towards him. " Old man, I'm very hungry. "

 Song Wei poured a glass of water for her and went to serve her food. He was long used to her bossy attitude.

 The kids had been out playing with a dog gifted to them by an old friend of Song Wei. When they heard their mommy had returned, they abandoned the dog and ran to embrace her.

 " Get your dirty hands off me! " Ellen howled and glared at the little darlings who were pouting their lips, showing wronged expressions on their faces.

 " Don't mind her. Go ahead and wash your hands and let your dearest Song grandpa serve your favourite food for you, mmmh? "

 Old Song tried to console the pitiful little things. The woman seemed to be in a terrible mood. To add on that, she might hate to admit it but she feared and hated dogs the most. He even wondered how the poor dog would survive in their house.

 The children would be very disappointed in case she disallowed them to bring it home with them.
