The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 187

Not long after, everyone finished their dinner but they still stay seated for a few minutes while exchanging a few casual sentences with each other. It was Xi Shendong who finally broke the silence because he knew that if he didn’t, nothing will happen.

Seeing his son-in-law and grand daughter being so quiet he really felt distress, they are indeed too alike in personality that everyone who will see them in his state will also feel distress for them.

If they stayed like this for the whole night, who knows if they will be able to even start their conversation. Just this afternoon, it felt as though nothing could stop it from happening anymore but look at them now.

Xi Shendong can’t help but sigh, guess he doesn’t have a choice but to help them a little.

“Do you have something to do after this Xiao Sheng?” he asked his grandson-in-law.

Of course, the first thing he has to do is to leave the two of them alone by dragging those who will not be a part of the conversation like him and not includes his two grandsons who are present.

The situation is actually pretty obvious that even Lim Yi Sheng and Xi Chen can feel the stifling atmosphere after the the meal. Although Xi Chen was not really informed about the eason fo this meal he can already pretty much guess about it.

Naturally, Lim Yi Sheng immediately picked up the cue from Xi Shendong. “I don’t have much to do since I’ve finished them in the office, if grandfather is not busy then I can accompany you to a round of go.”

More than the acting, Xi Shendong really felt delighted to hear that. When he entered old age, there are only few people who can accompany him to play. “Really, then I can’t pass up this opportunity after all you guys rarely visit.”

They do play when they have time but because of the the busy schedule of his grand daughter and his grandson-in-law, this opportunities were very rare.

Xi Chen also spoke about wanting to ask pointers from them, obviously leaving his sister and his father out of the option. “I’ll accompany brother-in-law and grandfather in a while since I also want to ask some pointers from them regarding management. I always ask for father and sister’s help, I just want a change of point-of-view this time. I’ll just go and have a change of clothes. Grandfather, Do you want to stay at the balcony on the second floor?”

It was also where they stayed the last time they visited so Lim Yi Sheng is already familiar of it.

“Why not, the scenery there is always good.” Xi Shendong readily agreed.

It’s as if the three of them has a tacit understanding to leave the father and daughter alone and of course the two people who they wanted to leave were not oblivious to ther intentions.

Xi Ana turned around and looked at Uncle Mu who is standing at the side already waiting for instructions, “Uncle Mu, can you please help instruct people to arrange the balcony on the second floor and please have the kitchen prepare tea as well.”

Uncled Mu smiled as he responded. “Yes, young miss. I understand.” he’s been here almost half of his life so he could understand the temperament of their masters like the back of his hand and he knew that Xi Ana is slightly irritated but helpless at the same time.

Uncle Mu then proceeded to instruct people to arrange everything on the balcony as well as the kitchen to prepare some snack and tea to aid their digestion.

When Xi Ana spoke, that was also the cue for Shen Feng to speak, “Father, please excuse Ana and me as we have something to talk about.”

“You’re excused.” he said in a lazy manner with a look as of he is trying to say that he should have done this earlier already.

Shen Feng could understand that look but he just smiled and answered, “Thank you, father.”

“Ana.” Shen Feng stood and looked at his daughter.

The moment her father stood, Xi Ana also followed and excused herself. “Grandfather, father and I will talk for a while. I’ll accompany you later.”

“You don’t have to, lass. It’s not like this is the only time that you will visit so take your time and converse properly. Yi Sheng and Xiao Chen will accompany me anyway so don’t think about us.”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/memories_52238764977745651”>#&apos;s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/memories_52238764977745651</a> for visiting.

He might pass this as something light the way he acted a while ago but he can’t still help but remind them that they have to properly talk because if they don’t this time will only pass by as a wasted opportunity.

“I understand, grandfather. Don’t worry.” Xi Ana smiled lightly and looked at her husband. “Don’t wait for me if it’s already too late.”

Lim Yi Sheng smiled, she already reminded him this earlier and she really won’t let go until he agreed verbally to it. “Alright, I will listen to my wife.”

“Alright, alright. Enough with the sweet words, it’s time to move. I’m afraid this will make have an indigestion instead.” Xi Chen said.

This remark made everyone laugh including the servants who are tending to them at the side.

“You don’t have to worry Xiao Chen, Grandfather will send you a list of the names of the young misses of different families who are yet to marry so you can just choose and grandfather can take care of the rest.”

When Xi Chen heard this he felt embarrassed in an instant. “Grandfather, that’s not what I mean!”

“Oh? It’s not that? I thought..” Xi Shendong played innocent.

“Stop playing innocent, grandfather. Hmp. Excuse me for being rude, I’ll go and change in my room.” after saying those words he really left the dining hall as though he was escaping.

“Ana, I wonder how your brother is still so cute though he is already 22.” Xi Shendong ask his other grandchild with the smile never leaving his face.

“Sometimes, I do wonder about that too grandfather.”

Laughter once again erupted in the the big dining hall.

“Alright, enough with this. The two of you can go and do what you must have to do. I just need to go back to my room to fetch something. Yi Sheng, if you need to do first you can go for a while and just go to the balcony once you’re done.”

“Yes, grandfather.”

With that all of them went out of the dining hall. Xi Shendong and Lim Yi Sheng went to their rooms though in the latter’s case it was in his wife’s room but it really doesn’t matter.

Meanwhile, Shen Feng walked to the second level where his study is located with Xi Ana following behind him quietly and this made him smile a little because of something he remembered.

The last time something like this happened was when Xi Ana is still very small and she was being reprimanded by him by something she had done n the school.

Shen Feng doesn’t know whether Xi Ana could still remember but when she was young, she was really spoiled that she even developed a princess attitude. There are times when the principal of the school would call for him or Xi Wei because of this attitude of hers.

Eventually, she also turned for the better after being reprimanded a few times but she was still occasionally bossy. Sadly, that these memories might only be remembered by him alone.

Xi Ana sat on the couch of the receiving area of the study as she observed the room. The last time she went inside here, she was only a few years old but this room still stayed the way she remembers it which means that most of the things here remained unchanged even after so many years.

This is just like how they relationship stayed the same all these years.

Her mother used to read her stories on this same couch as they waited for her father to finish what he was doing so that they could all sleep together, that time Xi Chen was yet to be born so she hogged all the attentions of her parents.

Xi Ana pushed these thoughts out of her mind and reminded herself that this is not the time to be emotional and reminisce about the things she can never relive anymore.
