How presumptuous...

His expression made Caius laugh, "Not really, my friend."

"You talk so interestingly..." Li Ci muttered to himself.

This guy looks relatively honest, handsome, a painter, clean, not very rich... Overall he is okay.

"Brother! You're good."

As he spoke, Li Ci walked into his bedroom and took out the photo frame on the bedside table.

A photo from long time ago.

It was taken when he and Li Qiao graduated from junior high school.

He searched for a long time and only found this one. He later framed it. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that he and Li Qiao had not taken any photos together since then.

Oh, I have such mixed feelings.

He touched the young face in the photo with his fingertips.

Li Qiao now looks almost the same as he did then, except that he has lost some of his youthful immaturity.

After thinking about it, he handed the photo frame to the man opposite him and said, "Take a look."

"what?"

Li Ci exhaled slightly, "The girl above, my sister, is she pretty?"

Caius was startled for a moment, his hand holding the photo frame shook for a moment, then he handed it back.

He was very surprised why Li Ci was like this. What a strange person.

"Why, you don't like my sister?"

Li Ci was only wearing a T-shirt in the house, revealing his dark shoulders. He looked like he was about to hit someone.

Compared with the "pretty boy" on the opposite side, he is simply too strong.

"No."

"I……"

"Don't worry about me." Li Ci was impatient, "That's it, wait until my sister comes, I'll let you meet her."

Caius: “…”

He never thought that they were just casual acquaintances and Li Ci was actually serious.

Are you so mean to girls?

To be honest, he didn't look carefully at the photo that Li Ci had just handed over. The girl in the photo was too young, and he didn't know what Li Ci wanted to do by taking out a photo from so many years ago.

In fact, Li Ci didn't want to, but he only had this one picture. After he reacted, he glanced at the other party and said in a rough voice: "Don't make up your mind, or I will beat you up."

"That's it. Good night."

After saying that, he left, leaving Caius with only a ruthless back.

In the empty living room, Caius' eyes flickered, and after a long moment, he chuckled softly.

Li Ci didn't know that in Caius' heart, he was like someone with some serious illness, and he was not normal at all.

After staying here for a long time, it's time to leave.

After pondering for a moment, he left a note and placed it in the middle of the table, making sure Li Ci could see it.

I also left a stack of cash as a payment for my recent accommodation and food expenses.

I put on my coat and left without any regrets.

It’s okay to love freedom, but in the middle of the night, when Li Ci came out to drink water, he saw the note, was stunned for a second, and then started cursing.

Li Ci: “…” Damn, what kind of sleep is this?

It's like a huge enemy. I was so lucky to find a pretty boy for my sister, but now he's run away.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

He didn't go out to look for her. If the other person wanted to leave, what could he do? Could he possibly kidnap the person back?

I was thinking about all sorts of things, keeping my eyes open until dawn.

He rubbed his tired eyes, changed his clothes casually and went to see Li's father and mother.

At Li's father's place, worried that the children would be scared, the two children slept in the same room. He originally planned to have a nanny stay with them at night, but the children declined.

The children are talking to their mother on the phone.

"Are you still used to it?"

To be honest, Li Qiao himself was a little uncomfortable with it.

When she got up at night, she would habitually go to the children's room to see if they had kicked off the quilt. Only when she opened the door would she remember that the children were not at home.

Normally it wasn't that noisy, but when they were not around, the whole house became even quieter, even deserted, with no human presence at all.

Little Li Yao always sleeps alone at home. He might feel a little unfamiliar with the new place, but with his brother around, that unfamiliarity gradually disappears, so his sleep quality is pretty good.

"Mom, I want to eat meat..."

He wanted to eat spicy meat dishes, but his grandparents were old, and the meals they provided were mostly light with a lot of vegetables, which made it very difficult for little Li Yao.

Li Qiao was puzzled. "If you want to eat something, just ask grandpa and grandma. Didn't Zizi tell you?"

Little Li Yao stuck out his tongue, turned his face away from the camera, and gently pushed his brother who had been silent, motioning him to speak.

Li Yao took a deep look at the little brat, and then said, "Well, he's shy."

I'm just too shy to give any advice.

"I'll tell grandpa and grandma, don't worry."

"That's good. If you have anything to say, don't hold it in. Just say it out loud."

"it is good."

"mom…"

"Ok?"

"are you still busy?"

"It will be soon, kids, just wait a little longer. It will take about a week before mommy comes to find you."

Li Qiao paused and turned the camera of her phone to the back, which showed a group of employees working hard. "Look, everyone is busy. It's not good for a mother to just sit there and do nothing." After taking the photo, she walked back to the office.

At the end of the year, all work needs to be finished well, and of course a good performance is required. In any case, the year-end bonus will not be small in the first year of starting.

Li Qiao is not an elite management talent and needs assistance from others. At this time, Yao Mo, the "coolie" who was fooled here, can take over.

Yao Mo studied financial management since he was young, and was always trained to be an executive president. Letting him do some things made Li Qiao's job a lot easier.

"I quit!"

Speak of the devil, here he comes. Yao Mo pushed open the office door, slammed the documents on the desk, and sat on the sofa angrily.

Then there was a sudden pause.

"Is your kid calling you?"

His voice became much softer, as if he was afraid of scaring the child.

"Yes."

Li Qiao nodded and waved for him to come over. "If you work hard, our company will assign a partner to you."

Yao Mo: “…Who are you fooling?” A partner? Does he need one?

"Hello, kids, how were you playing outside? Are you having fun?" He walked over and greeted the children.

Compared to Li Qiao, he still prefers Li Qiao's two children, who are cute and cuddly.

"Hello, Uncle Yao." Little Li Yao greeted politely.

"Okay, okay, hello, when will you come back? Uncle has packed a big red envelope for you."

"Thank you uncle."

Yao Mo smiled and picked up the document that had just been thrown on the table. He gave Li Qiao a look and said, "They are both out there and they don't know anyone here. Are you worried? Finish the work quickly so that you can go and accompany them."

After saying that, he strode away, not even forgetting to gently close the office door.

The children were staying in their rooms and talking on the phone with their mothers, but at this moment Li Ci had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa sulking.

"What's wrong with you? Who has offended you again?" Li's father asked casually.

Li Ci hesitated and muttered softly, "What's wrong with me? I'm angry. Damn it, my brother-in-law flew away..."
