Chapter 159: Give Me Some Money To Spend

“Thanks for your hospitality.” Shen Xi wiped her mouth with a napkin after eating and drinking to her heart’s content. She gave a satisfied smile. “I had a good meal.”

“As long as you liked it.” Li Yuan’s sexy voice carried a depressed tone that he did not realize.

He originally thought that he would be content with just seeing the little girl smile.

Since when did he become greedier and no longer satisfied with just looking at her smile?

“Brother, did you encounter any trouble in your business?” Shen Xi asked him out of curiosity.

Li Yuan shook his head. “No.”

Shen Xi frowned and grumbled, “But you seemed preoccupied.”

Li Yuan smiled at her. “There’s no trouble. ”

Shen Xi asked, “Really?”

Li Yuan replied in the affirmative. In the end, he could not resist asking, “Was there anything about today’s food that you weren’t satisfied with?”

Shen Xi was being mischievous and teased him. “Nothing, it’s very delicious. Help me thank the chef. I’m very satisfied.”

Li Yuan felt another pang of disappointment. He was afraid she would notice, so he looked away and replied, “Okay.”

Did he ask the question in the wrong manner? Why would she not ask who cooked the food?

Kun Lun watched the scene from the side. It was eye-opening. He managed to witness his boss act like a kid who was begging for compliments in this lifetime. He was so lucky.

Shen Xi simply avoided asking who cooked the food till the end. Instead, she was fussing over Li Yuan, looking like a child who was trying to behave like an adult. She told him to wear more clothing if he were outdoors, eat his meals and sleep on time, and not overwork himself.

The sound of brakes was heard from Shen Xi’s house.

Shen Xi glanced over her shoulder. “Brother, my parents are back. I’ll be leaving first. Thanks for having me.”

Li Yuan watched her turn around, and there was obvious disappointment in his narrow, deep gaze. He wanted to say something but gave up in the end.

Shen Xi walked down two flights of stairs, but she went back up. As she showed her small head, she felt a sudden pain in her heart when she saw that the man had a lonely expression.

Did she go too far? She should not have been petty and bore grudges. Brother looked very sad and down.

Li Yuan did not expect that she would return. He asked, “What happened?”

Shen Xi beamed at him. She held out both hands and flashed two finger hearts at him by crossing her thumb and index finger. “Brother, you must be a God of Cookery that descended from heaven. The food you cooked was too delicious!”

The loneliness in Li Yuan’s eyes cleared instantly, and joy started to spread bit by bit. He watched worriedly as the little girl went down the stairs in a hurry. He reminded her, “Be careful. Don’t trip.”

His little girl’s desire to seek revenge was so strong that she was still holding a grudge!

Kun Lun came back after packing up and saw his boss gazing at the wall. His expression was so gentle that water could trickle from it.

Ms. Shen must have praised the boss. The dark aura around the boss finally disappeared, and it was as if the sun was shining brightly.

Kun Lun was relieved. Had Ms. Shen not praised Li Yuan, the boss’s mood would certainly be very bad on the following business trips. He would be the unlucky one then.

Li Yuan turned the wheelchair around. He gestured to Kun Lun. “What does this mean?”

Kun Lun looked at the gesture and replied, “It means ‘give me some money to spend.’”

Li Yuan threw him a scornful look. He should not have talked if he did not know a thing. How could the little girl possibly want money from him? Surely it could not be that meaning.

Kun Lun’s heart skipped a beat. “Boss, is this the gesture that Ms. Shen showed you?”

Li Yuan lowered his gaze. He frowned while he copied the little girl’s gesture. What did it mean?

Kun Lun specially opened a group chat to understand the meaning of the gesture. He added his friends into the group chat and voiced his question.

In the end, that bunch of useless friends only told him that the gesture meant ‘counting money’ or ‘asking for money.’ None of them made a good point.

The boss already said that there was surely a profound meaning behind Ms. Shen’s action. What he said was right. Those people knew nothing!

Li Yuan spent half a day at the study, thinking about the actual meaning behind the little girl’s gesture. After a long while, he called, “Kun Lun.”

Kun Lun answered politely and entered the study.

Li Yuan passed an exquisite box made of rosewood to Kun Lun and said, “Bring this to Shen Xi.”

Kun Lun did not know what was inside the box, but the jewelry box was very expensive.
