“I’m going to a dinner party with someone tonight.” Xiao Yao answered.

He Wanyi’s eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled heartily. Her face shone with that beautiful smile. She asked Xiao Yao, “Then after the dinner party?”

Xiao Yao paused. “I’m taking a plane to go back to China. Then I’ll have half a month’s holiday.”

“Can you go to the cinema with me after that dinner party? He Wanyi asked and clenched her hands. She was so nervous that she pursed her lips hard.

Xiao Yao didn’t expect He Wanyi would say this. He paused and nodded. “As long as you don’t mind my boredom.”

“Of course not. Let’s go for dinner first and then you go to the dinner party.” He Wanyi said happily as if lifted a heavy load from her mind and skittered ahead.

Gazing at her back, Xiao Yao nodded as if he had made an important decision and then caught up with her.

…

The first thing Tang Xi did when she came back to City A was to have a sound sleep to counter jet lag. She had been sleeping for a continuous twenty-four hours. When she woke up, Xiao Jing had gone to his company and there was only Xiao Sa at home. He stayed at home because he would send Tang Xi to school.

Tang Xi stretched herself and worked out before she went downstairs. Xiao Sa had prepared breakfast for her. Seeing her, he jested, “President Xiao, you must be so tired these days. Come on, have some food. This is the love breakfast I specially prepared for you.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and walked up. When she saw the abalone congee and appetizers on the table, she felt warmth well up in her heart. She rushed up to give Xiao Sa a hug. “Sa, it’s so nice of you. I really missed Chinese food when I was in Paris. I must give you a thumbs up 360 times for this great abalone congee.”

Xiao Sa patted her back with a smile. “Your company made a hit this time. The Queen almost occupies the most searched hashtag list on the Microblog. I think the celebrities must be rushing to buy your company’s clothes!”

Tang Xi smiled. “I don’t know. I haven’t gone to my company. Today I’m going to my school first before I go to my company.”

“I guess many shopping malls will rush to invite you to open a store in their malls.” Xiao Sa said, filled a bowl of abalone congee for her and then filled one for himself. He sat down opposite to Tang Xi and the two began to eat the congee.

Just then, the door was pushed open. Tang Xi glanced back but saw no one come in, so she continued eating the congee. Xiao Sa looked at her and said with a smile, “It should be Yan. He wanted to come to see you last night, but I refused and told him you were sleeping.”

As he guessed, Xiao Yan came in, in a formal suit and carrying a briefcase. When he spotted Tang Xi, a faint smile appeared on his always expressionless face. “Rourou, did you sleep well?”

Tang Xi nodded and greeted him. “Why are you here, Yan?”

“You don’t come home, so I can only come here.” Xiao Yan took a look at Xiao Sa who ignored his stare and continued with his congee.

Xiao Yan didn’t mind his attitude. He came to the kitchen, took a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for himself and filled himself a bowl of congee. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “I was too sleepy when I came back yesterday, so I went home with Jing.”

Xiao Sa grunted in response and sat beside Xiao Sa. “I’ll have to attend a meeting soon, so I can’t send you to school today. But I’ll pick you up from your company to our mansion at nine pm. Mom and Dad have been missing you much these days. I knew you were busy, so I stopped them from calling you so as not to disturb you.”

Xiao Sa nodded hard. “Yes, go to see them. They kept nagging about you, which almost drove me crazy.”

“Really?” Tang Xi thought Sa must exaggerate it.

“You can ask him.” Xiao Sa raised his chin at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan took a look at Tang Xi. “What he said is true.”

Tang Xi shrugged. “Okay, but I remembered I called home every day when I was in Paris.”

After the breakfast, Tang Xi went upstairs to wash up. Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Sa. “Can you be in charge of the network security of the Xiao’s?”

Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan. “Are you giving this job to me?”

He remembered the Xiao’s Group usually signed contracts with professional network security companies. Why did he suddenly give this job to him? Did he… want to keep the goodies within the family?

Xiao Yan sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs and looked at Xiao Sa with a solemn face as if he was negotiating with his business partner. “Didn’t you say you wanted to upgrade your company? Although the games industry is booming, you have to expand your business. I happen to hear that you want to enter the network security market.”

Xiao Sa nodded. “Yes, I do have a plan.”

“That’s it.” Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Sa. “As a Xiao’s shareholder, you should make your own contribution to the company. Since you can do this job, why should I bother to find some other company?”

So he gave him this job not because he was his family but because he wanted to exploit his labor!

Xiao Sa looked at Xiao Yan. “You greedy capitalist!”

“It’s all for the company.” Xiao Yan stood up with a smile, and patted Xiao Sa’s shoulder. “Okay, I’m going to the company. Come to the company and talk to me when you’re free. The Xiao’s Group is also your company. You can’t just… leave it to me.”

When Tang Xi changed and went downstairs, Xiao Yan had left. Xiao Sa collapsed on the sofa and looked desperate. Tang Xi came up to him and asked Xiao Sa. “What’s wrong, Sa?”

“Xiao Yan is a vampire!” Xiao Sa growled and stood up.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Sa. “Did he ask you to fix the network for the Xiao’s?”

“How do you know that?”

Tang Xi shrugged, threw her school bag to him and went to change shoes. “It’s easy to guess. What are you good at? and what does the Xiao’s need now?”

Xiao Sa sighed and looked at the handbag in his hand. “Why do I suddenly feel that my labor is being exploited by both of you?”

Tang Xi looked at Xiao Sa and said with a smile, “You can refuse me. Ah Liang will send me to school.” She glanced at a car through the window and cracked a smile.
