Old Mansion
Madam Si and Lu Lan were having their breakfast when Madam Si noticed that Lu Lan was not eating anything.
"Xiao Lan, why are you eating so little? You haven't even had your dinner last night, what happened?" Madam Si said as she was worried about Lu Lan's health.
"It's okay, Mom, actually, I don't have an appetite," Lu Lan said melancholically.
"Xiao Lan, don't worry. Xiao Li will be back soon. If he would see you in this condition, he will be very angry." Madam Si comforted her.
"Madam, Young Master has come" a maid came to inform.
Lu Lan's expression stiffened for a few seconds as if she didn't believe what she just heard, then asked the maid "What did you just say?"
At the same time, Si Li came inside. Lu Lan saw Si Li and she ran towards him and hugged him instantly.
"Where were you? I was so worried about you. Why did you take so long?" Lu Lan said in a sad tone.
Si Li patted her back to comfort her "Sorry, but I was busy".
Cough…Cough
Madam Si coughed a few times to get the attention of the couple. Lu Lan just then realized that she wasn't alone in the living room with Si Li so they both drew apart from each other.
"Thank God that you have come back otherwise we were going to admit your wife to the hospital because of starvation" Madam Si complained to remove the awkward situation.
Si Li looked towards Lu Lan's with a questioning look.
"Mom… What are you saying? I don't understand anything. Actually, Mr Si, mom adores me too much these days. So she is unnecessarily worried about me. You can just ignore it" Lu Lan hurriedly tried to hide from Si Li that she had not eaten anything since yesterday.
"Ohhh… Really, Sister-in-Law?" Si Yan came into the living room and teased Lu Lan.
"What happened?" Si Li asked Madam Si.
Lu Lan tried to hint Madam Si for not to speak, but unfortunately, Si Li saw her and said in a restricted voice "Miss Su, don't look towards Xiao Lan and tell me what happened?"
"Actually, Xiao Lan had a nightmare about you and she was very worried about you so she didn't eat anything since yesterday. Sorry, Xiao Lan." Madam Si shrugged her shoulders and helplessly told the truth.
Lu Lan lowered her head and pursed her lips together, like a child whose misbehaviour was discovered, in front of her parents'.
Lu Lan was scared that Si Li would be reprimanded her in front of everyone, but to the contrary, he patted her head " I am here now. Go eat."
Lu Lan with twinkling eyes looked at Si Li without a blink in disbelief and after a few seconds, she came back to her senses and nodded her head "Hmm".
"After your breakfast, come to Si Corporation. I heard that the profit of Tex Corporation exceeded 50 million dollars. So you can now join Si Corporation. Come to the office and meet me. Okay?" Si Li said and turned to leave.
"But Xiao Li, you have just returned. Why don't you rest first?" Madam Si said in a concerned way.
"Thank You, Miss Su. But I have some urgent matters to deal with. I have to leave now" Si Li said and went upstairs.
After Si Li left, Lu Lan saw the worried expression of Madam Si so she hugged her to comfort her and said with the determination "Don't worry, Mom. Now I will work for Si Corporation. I will make sure to take care of Mr.Si's health, and most important thing, next time onwards I will make sure that he won't go for this kind of long trip. Even if he has to go, I will accompany him".
Both Si Yan and Madam Si stiffened and got worried that if Lu Lan knew about Si Li's business, she might leave him.
"Sister-in-law, why do you want to go with Bro? Why don't you come here when he would go on the trip, during that period you can spend some time with us. What's say?" Si Yan immediately said and tried to change her mind.
"Never, I will never leave Mr Si alone, and Brother Yan, I will always remember that just now you have betrayed me," Lu Lan said in a nasty manner.
"Hehehehe… Sister-in-law. It's just that I was worried about you otherwise you know I am lovely little Brother" Si Yan hurriedly try to explain.
"Enough Yan. Xiao Lan, don't leave Xiao Li alone, okay! Now come, let's eat something" Madam Si closed the discussion, but she knew it would be better if Lu Lan wouldn't accompany Si Li.
