"She's tired from playing all day, so I let her go back and rest."

When Xiao Yun talked about Shen Lan, his brows relaxed and an atmosphere called "gentleness" lingered around him.

Seeing this, Liang Ye's heart skipped a beat and his fingers curled up unconsciously.

He laughed and teased: "Is this still the Xiao family's living devil that I know, Xiao Ba Pi? He is so considerate to his employees, does Liu Lin know?"

"Xiao Baopi?" Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him: "It is well known that Xiao's employee benefits are the best in the industry."

"Yeah, the treatment is really good. I've never seen employees go out for fun while the boss works overtime, and then washes the dishes himself afterward out of concern for the employees' fatigue."

When Liang Ye said this, there was a smile on the corner of his lips, but his gentle and affectionate eyes were no longer smiling, and there was a cold and sharp look in his eyes.

"You rarely participated in such activities in the circle before. You came here for Shen Lan, right?"

Xiao Yun lowered his head and looked at the message from Liu Lin on his phone. He didn't notice his expression and casually said "hmm".

"Haven't you guessed it? She's definitely not an ordinary employee. She's quite special."

Liang Ye's heart sank to the bottom in an instant. He could hardly maintain the smile on his face, and felt a chill on his back.

It took him a full minute to recover and find his voice: "From what I know, she has a fiancé."

"It won't be that soon." Xiao Yun said indifferently without even raising his head, with a powerful aura that everything was under control.

Liang Ye pursed his lips: "After she breaks off the engagement, will you date her? Didn't you say you would never get married in this life? You..."

"Liang Ye." Xiao Yun raised his head, narrowed his eyes, and looked at him slowly: "You are a little strange today."

Liang Ye's heart tightened, and he felt that Xiao Yun's gaze was like an arrow piercing through the clouds, piercing into his heart.

He smiled to hide his feelings: "I was just too surprised. I thought you would end up alone, but I didn't expect that you would be the first among the brothers to settle down."

Decided?

Xiao Yun paused, neither admitting nor refuting, and changed the subject: "Your old man has been causing a lot of trouble recently, hasn't he?"

When Liang Ye mentioned his family, his eyes were icy cold, and he sneered sarcastically: "He knows that he can't control me anymore, so he has been making small moves recently. A few days ago, he even planned to use Liang Qiuli to challenge me."

"Liang Qiu?" Xiao Yun also found it funny.

It's okay to keep a Chihuahua entertaining at home, but putting it in an arena is like asking for death. Old man Liang is really old and his mind is dull and useless.

After chatting about work for a while, Liang Ye felt a little anxious when he saw Xiao Yun avoiding questions about Shen Lan. He took out the mint candies he carried with him and ate two.

The cool and stimulating taste of mint made him feel better and calmed down a lot.

Xiao Yun caught a glimpse of this scene, his eyes moving slightly: "Have you been quitting smoking recently?"

"Yeah." Liang Ye handed him the candy box: "Would you like two?"

Xiao Yun shook his head: "I don't have a smoking habit."

Liang Ye smiled and put the mint candy away: "Yes, you have a lot of extra points in this aspect."

"Hmm?" Xiao Yun didn't understand why he said that, and he didn't understand why Liang Ye suddenly quit smoking.

When Liang Ye was sent abroad, he worked very hard on his studies to save face. He often stayed up late to do projects and write papers, and learned to smoke to stay awake.

After returning, the pressure from the company and family was extremely great, and my addiction to smoking became even worse.

Who would have thought that Liang Ye, who looked like a handsome and elegant gentleman, had such a strong addiction to smoking.

Wang Ling once sternly warned him that if he continued smoking, his lungs would be damaged sooner or later.

Liang Ye just smiled indifferently. A person who doesn't even care about life and death doesn't care whether his lungs are damaged or not.

But now, he actually wants to quit smoking. It's really too late.

"Tell me, why do you want to quit smoking?" Xiao Yun put away his phone and looked at him with interest.

Liang Ye lowered his eyes, pinched the candy box in his pocket with his fingers, and whispered: "The girl I like hates the smell of cigarettes."

Xiao Yun was surprised: "The girl you like? You already have someone you like!"

"To be precise, I liked it a long time ago, when I was about 9 years old."

Xiao Yun calculated the time: "That was the year you were sent abroad."

"Well, I beat up a few people at the banquet and caused a lot of trouble for the old man. Liang Qiu whispered in my ear all night, and then I was sent away."

"She and I met at the banquet, but we never exchanged a single word. I didn't even know who she was. I only found out recently."

It had been so long that no one remembered the children's fight. Even the old man had forgotten the excuse he used to send him abroad. He was the only one who remembered it.

When Liang Ye thought of the chubby little figure standing in front of him, his heart softened.

For the first time since his mother's death, someone stood up for him and protected him.

The little girl was soft, white and tender, but at that moment she looked like a warrior.

"Bring it out so we can see it when you can."

Hearing this, Liang Ye's eyes deepened and he smiled like a spring breeze: "Well, when I catch her, I will definitely bring her to see you."
