"Yehan, you're back" Gu Shiyuan got up and walked up to him. She stood in front of him with a sweet smile on her face showcasing her dimples.
She had very light and simple make-up on and was putting on a simple pink spaghetti strap flare dress, paired with her loose bun hairstyle she looked cute and youthful.
Si Yehan stopped and frowned his eyes shot daggers at her as he said coldly "Move"
Gu Shiyuan's smile froze, she was scared stiff by the dangerous look in his eyes and subconsciously moved back.
"S-sorry" She stammered.
Si Yehan didn't give her a secomd glance and walked totowards the stairs.
"Shiyuan are you okay?" Guan Ziyao came over.
Gu Shiyuan, whose face was fear strcken, looked towards the stairs "I-I'm fine. Mom I think something's not right with Si Xia if not, Yehan wouldn't have rushed like that."
"Let's go take a look" Old Master Gu said.
...
"Ah-Ye"
"Mom, what happened? And where's dad? " The first thing Si Yehan saw when he arrived was the scene of his mother leaning on the wall beside the door to Si Xia's room.
The corner of her eyes were red, proof that she had cried.
She wiped her face as he walked over "Ah-Ye, you're back. Your father is making some calls in his study"
"What's going on?" He frowned and asked tensively
He couldn't bear to come to a conclusion without actually knowing what happened.
He couldn't and wouldn't let anything happen to Si Xia. Even if he had to lay down his life for him he would.
Si Xia was the only thing Ning Xi left him with, as long as he has Si Xia he at leat has a reason to live on or else.....
He braced himself then opened the door and walked in.
He paused when he saw the scene in front of him. All the tension he had relaxed a bit and his eyes twitched.
A pale looking Si Xia was sitting on the bed comfortably readimg a book with a blue blanket covering half of his body
Other than Si Xia's pale looking skin, the scene was quite normal.
Si Yehan pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed.
Seriously, did his mother have to be so dramatic?
He had rushed over thinking of all the worst scenarios but yet it was this?
He shook his head and walked forward. Immediately as he did so, Si Xia turned and looked at him then got down from the bed and ran straight towards him.
Si Yehan paused when he felt the warm embrace on his leg.
In the layman's point of view, he and Si Xia were pretty close but, that was infact not the case.
Si Xia had a better relationship with his mother, although he would still occasionally talk and be with him, he would always have an indifferent expression when he was with him unlike the smile he always had on his face when he was with his mother.
When she died their relationship turned even worse, Si Xia blamed him for Ning Xi's 'death'. He had said If only he had refused letting her go on her business trip she would still be here today.
Si Yehan also felt like it was his fault, he couldn't protect her and now she was gone.
It has been a while since Si Xia willingly hugged him, he felt warm in his heart and the cold expression he had warmed up a bit.
He was about to say something when he felt something wet on his leg. He looked down and heard some sniffling sounds from Si Xia.
Is he crying?
"Si Xia" He called out.
Si Xia released his legs and moved back a bit. Si Yehan picked him up and wiped his tears clumsily then carried him to the bed.
"What's wrong?"
He picked up him writing tab and wrote on it.
'Home'
"You want to go back?"
He nodded.
"Alright let's go" Si Yehan carried him and walked towards the door where both the members of the Gu family and his parents were standing.
"Yehan, where are you taking Si Xia?" Gu Shiyuan was the first to speak up.
Why did this little brat have to ruin everything? Couldn't he wait 'till tomorrow to throw his stupid tantrums?
Si Yehan treared her as air and walked past her he turned to his parents and said "We're going home"
After which turned and greeted Old Master Gu and Gu couple "Old Master Gu, Master Gu, Madam Gu, we'll be taking our leave now enjoy your dinner."
Then he walked away.
Si Ming wanted to say something but Si Yehan had already made it clear that he and Si Xia weren't going to be part of the dinner.
He secretly looked at Gu Donliang to see his expression, the latter had a nonchalant look on.
Old Master Gu didn't really care the brat has already fixed what he did so him attending the dinner wasn't necessary.
Si Ming sighed in relief then cleared his throat "Ahem,sorry for the interruption. Shall we continue with the dinner?"
.....
"Did something happen to him?" A man who looked like he was in his late twenties asked.
He was dressed in a white polo shirt and a pair of blue jeans and was putting on a gold wrist watch and a pair of gold-rimmed slectacles.
He had a scholarly air around him.
"Not sure." Si Yehan said in a hoarse voice. His hair was messy and his eyes were dark like a black hole.
He was leaning on the railing, with a cigar in between his fingers. He exuded a dangerous and seductive aura.
"When you got there was there anything that reminded him of her?" The man asked
Si Yehan frowned "I don't think so. How long do you think he'll remain like this?"
Xi Feng removed his spectacles and sighed "I'm not too sure, it depends on him"
