Chapter 216: Chapter 216 He Just... Wants to Hear Her Voice
Hearing this, Xing Chen, who had just finished reading a document, slowly put down the expensive and exquisite pen engraved with the Wilson family totem in his hand.
His cold eyes lifted slightly, glancing at the watch on his left hand which sparkled like a diamond.
His handsome brows furrowed tightly as he said lightly, "Mom, you can go by yourself."
He had been tired all night last night, hoping Ran Xiangsi could sleep a little longer.
If Xiahou Xiu Yun took her out shopping, they would probably walk a lot.
Not understanding her son’s good intentions, Xiahou Xiu Yun sighed, thinking he was worried she’d bully Ran Xiangsi.
"People say when daughters grow up, they are like spilled water once married. I feel sons, too, forget their mothers once they have a wife." Xiahou Xiu Yun felt a bit jealous.
She had watched this son grow up but had never seen him protect her, his mother, this much!
However, she was genuinely happy about her son and daughter-in-law’s good relationship.
As for the Lou family matters, Xiahou Xiu Yun added, "Rest assured, I am very satisfied with Xiangsi. That Lou family daughter has always had designs on you, hasn’t she? Tonight, let’s put them in their place!
Back then, Lou Zhaonian did save you, but that was under state orders. Over the years, this favor has been more than repaid.
When I came, your father said we could maintain friendly relations with the Lou family, but if they try to bully you... don’t blame the Wilson family for not giving them any face!"
Xing Chen, of course, knew that the Wilson family’s dignity was not to be challenged by anyone.
He respected Lou Zhaonian, otherwise, he wouldn’t have endured this much.
"I have my own judgment. Mom, don’t get involved."
A son naturally did not want to see his mother worry about such trivial matters.
Understanding her son’s character, Xiahou Xiu Yun nodded, "Alright then, I won’t interfere. It’s getting late, I will head out first. Don’t be late yourself."
After speaking, she picked up her bag and walked towards the door.
She had to hurry to meet up with her daughter-in-law, time was running out, and she still wanted to shop a bit more!
With Xiahou Xiu Yun leaving in such a hurry, Xing Chen had almost finished reading his materials as well.
He leaned back deeply into the soft leather seat, reached out to pick up his phone, and twirled it twice in his hand.
After a moment of silence, he dialed a number.
When Ran Xiangsi answered the call, she was already standing at the entrance of ’Su Ya’.
Murong Jialan and Chu Xiaoge were also beside her, both staying to catch a glimpse of Ran Xiangsi’s mother-in-law.
Since Ran Xiangsi had mentioned her hidden marriage, naturally Murong Jialan and Chu Xiaoge would not dig deeper, just gossiping casually.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?" Xing Chen’s gentle and clear voice came from the other end, making her heart skip a beat.
"Waiting for mom to arrive." Ran Xiangsi coughed, the corners of her lips unknowingly lifted, "And you? At the company?"
Knowing Xing Chen well, Ran Xiangsi knew he must be caught up at the company at this time.
Wealthier people, in truth, lived even busier lives.
Others only saw Xing Chen’s luxurious life, while only Ran Xiangsi saw his tireless dedication to the company’s future.
"Yes." Xing Chen responded briefly, not saying much more, "See you tonight."
After saying that, he hung up.
As Ran Xiangsi had thought, Xing Chen was indeed very busy.
He just... wanted to hear her voice.
