Chapter 497: Chapter 497: The Smile Gradually Collapses (5th Update)
Just then, the office door was kicked open, and An Qing burst in excitedly.
“Auntie!” The two little girls exclaimed in surprise upon seeing An Qing.
An Qing scooped up the two little girls, planting a kiss on each one before asking with a beaming smile.
“Have you two missed your aunt?”
“Yeah, we have!” The two little girls chorused in unison.
An Qing set the girls down and opened her bag, which was packed full of snacks.
The two little girls cheered and dashed towards it.
“This is yours, and this is mine! This is mine, and this is yours…” Xiang Xiang started dividing the snacks very seriously.
Nian Nian stared with wide eyes, her face a mask of seriousness as she watched.
An Qing couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckle at the scene.
“You, always buying them so much junk food, you’ll spoil them rotten one of these days!” An Yan said helplessly.
An Qing chuckled, “Let them be spoiled then! Shouldn’t my nieces, An Qing’s nieces, be spoiled a little more? Eh…”
An Qing gave a slight exclamation, “Sis, why is your face so red?”
An Yan had a thin skin, and the blush that had risen just now had not yet faded away.
“Er… it’s very hot in here! Didn’t you notice?” An Yan quickly made an excuse.
“Hot? I didn’t feel it,” An Qing said suspiciously, turning her head to look at Xue An.
Ever since she inherited the Insect Tribe’s gifted abilities, her vision could be considered a walking human telescope.
Therefore, she immediately noticed that alarming shade of red at the corner of Xue An’s mouth.
This red… It seemed to match her sister’s lip color.
An Qing had an epiphany, and her smile gradually grew mischievous.
“I see, it seems I came at an inconvenient time.”
“You naughty girl, what nonsense are you spouting? Be careful or I’ll tear up your mouth!”
An Yan was caught between laughter and tears, moving forward to pinch An Qing’s cheek, then dragged her forcefully into the inner room.
Xue An also felt somewhat embarrassed.
After all, that was his little aunt-in-law.
So he quickly activated his cultivation level to thoroughly inspect himself from top to bottom, to avoid any further slip-ups.
At that moment, Chen Xiuhe walked in with a cheerful laugh.
“Mr. Xue! I heard you were back in Zhongdu, so I hurried over!”
Xue An smiled slightly and rose from his seat, “Uncle Chen, please have a seat!”
This address momentarily surprised Chen Xiuhe, but his smile grew even brighter.
Back when Xue An and An Yan got married, Xue An had invited Chen Xiuhe to attend in the capacity of a relative from An Yan’s maternal family, and since then, he had taken to calling him Uncle Chen.
What Chen Xiuhe hadn’t expected was that, after more than a year, Xue An still remembered this title.
“Mr. Xue is too courteous. When I arrived just now, Gao Shengnan, the Divine Doctor’s daughter, already briefed me on what has happened since you’ve been back. Truly, sir, you are a talent for the ages. With phrases like ‘hearts courageous as tigers, softly sniffing the roses,’ if you were in business, you would likely be a magnate rich enough to rival any!” Chen Xiuhe exclaimed.
His words were sincere and from the heart.
When he heard Gao Shengnan talk about these matters, he felt shivers down his spine.
Unlike Gao Shengnan’s reverence.
Chen Xiuhe could see much further than others.
It’s undeniable that Tianyuan Company had developed extremely rapidly over the past two years.
But this also left the company with many hidden problems.
Passion isn’t a bad thing, but if one still acts impulsively from a high position, it can lead to major chaos.
