The next day.

Shen You went to Xie Chenxiao to walk the dog as promised, and also brought a box of toys for Little Apple.

Looking at this box of toys, the little Bian Collie waggled his tail excitedly and looked at Shen You's bright eyes.

Compared to the happy little Apple, the boy seemed to be less interested. He stared at the box of gifts with dim eyes: "It already has a lot of toys."

The little border collie seemed to understand what he said and barked at him unhappily. He moved closer to Shen You and kept wagging his tail.

As if by magic, Shen You stretched out his hand hidden behind his back and handed him the constellation blind box in his hand, "This is for you."

The young man was stunned for a moment, his eyes brightened, and he looked at her in surprise: "Do you still have my share?"

Shen Ye nodded: "Of course, I want to thank you for always taking care of Little Apple, and you also helped me yesterday!"

It turned out that I just wanted to thank him.

Xie Chenxiao lowered his eyes and responded without saltiness: "Oh."

First, they found someone to move the box of gifts for Little Apple to the apartment. The two of them walked the dog in the park, neither of them took the initiative to speak, and fell into silence for a while.

Shen You noticed his subtle emotions and looked at him thoughtfully several times.

For a moment, the young man couldn't hold it back and suddenly said: "Is it just a thank you gift?"

Shen You was startled: "Huh?"

Xie Chenxiao slowly turned his eyes, met her black and white apricot eyes, and saw his own figure in her clear eyes.

He pursed his lips, feeling that his loss was inexplicable, and said in a low voice: "...It's nothing, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Since he took the initiative to speak, Shen You certainly couldn't really pretend that nothing happened.

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the blind box that was still in his hand and said, "You don't seem to like this gift very much."

The young man blinked and said subconsciously: "There's nothing I don't like."

Shen You said a long "Oh", raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why don't you take it apart and take a look?"

She took the leash from Xie Chenxiao's hand so that he could open the blind box.

Seeing that she seemed to be looking forward to it, Xie Chenxiao thought she was curious about what was in the blind box. He was about to open the box, but found that there were signs that the box had been opened. He paused and put the bubbles in the box. Matt took it out.

"I wasn't very lucky with blind boxes. I bought twenty of them before I got the Scorpio."

Listening to the girl's slightly frustrated voice, Xie Chenxiao's eyes fell on this little figure.

The Scorpio constellation figure has a pair of pure black eyes and a curved moon hanging on its tail. However, both its face and the hat on its head have an unhappy expression.

Shen You's eyes also followed him and fell on the small figure, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart——

[This unhappy expression is exactly the same as Xie Chenxiao’s now. 】

Hearing this, the young man's eyebrows relaxed and the corners of his lips raised, "I like it very much."

He couldn't help but caress the little moon on the little tail of the handicraft, raised his lips and asked, "So is it specially given to me?"

"of course!"

Shen You looked like "what nonsense are you talking about", shrugged, and said helplessly: "Okay, I admit, what I just said was just to find an excuse to give you a gift."

"Oh, that's it," Xie Chenxiao's smile deepened as expected, "You don't have to make excuses in the future, I will like all the gifts you give me."

Shen Youyou nodded: "Okay, okay."

The cell phone rang suddenly. Shen You decided to dig through the bag, but then realized that this was not her cell phone ringtone.

Xie Chenxiao lowered his eyes at the incoming call notification and frowned.

The two of them stood next to each other. Even though Shen You had no intention of prying, her unconscious glance allowed her to clearly see the words displayed on the screen.

【mom】

It was a call from Xie Chenxiao's mother.

The scene of Mrs. Feng and Zhang Lingwei taunting Xie Chenhao about this matter flashed through his mind. Shen You couldn't help but frown and asked softly: "You... don't want to take it?"

There was a hint of confusion in Xie Chenxiao's eyes, "I don't know."

"Then just listen to what she wants to say," Shen You smiled, "It's just a phone call."

If he didn't want to get through at all, he could just hang up the phone, but he didn't, instead he hesitated.

Shen You made up her mind that if the person on the other end of the phone made some ridiculous remarks later, she would grab the phone from Xie Chenxiao by surprise and hang up the call as quickly as possible.

Xie Chenxiao's fingertips paused for a moment on the connect button, connected the phone, and clicked on the speakerphone. He directly put the phone screen upwards and placed it between the two of them.

In this way, Shen You no longer has to think about how to grab the phone and hang up the phone later.

After the call was connected, Xie Chenxiao remained silent, and the person on the other end spoke first.

"Chenghuo, I am mother."

Xie Chenxiao pursed his lips, his voice sounded tight and cold: "What's the matter?"

"You...how are you doing recently? I heard that your scores in the college entrance examination were very good, but you did not apply for Imperial University as your father wanted, and your major was not..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Chenxiao sneered silently and interrupted her: "Yes, Ms. Cheng is here to teach me a lesson for him?"

Shen You saw that his hand that was holding the phone turned pale from the force of tightening it.

Ms. Cheng on the other end of the phone seemed a little cautious and quickly explained:

[No, no, no, no, how could I teach you a lesson for him? I'm just worried that he will lose his temper with you because of this, and he has married a new wife. If he doesn't abide by the agreement and has a child with another woman, then the inheritance rights will be...]

Xie Chenxiao sneered: "You are already divorced. Even if the inheritance rights are in my hands, it has nothing to do with you, right? Then what does it matter who he is willing to give it to?"

Ms. Cheng's voice sounded a little low.

[Mom is worried that you will be bullied, not about the Xie family's property. 】

Listening to the conversation between the two, Shen You felt that Xie Chenhao's mother was different from what she imagined.

She thought the other party was a cold mother who was indifferent to her biological son.

Xie Chenxiao raised his eyes to look at her, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Do you have anything else to do?"

[Chenhuo, Mom knows you are on vacation, but I wonder if you are free now? If possible, I would like to trouble you to pick up Junze from school and take him to stay with you for a few days. 】

Xie Junze is Xie Chenxiao's younger brother. He goes to elementary school in a private aristocratic school and has holidays later than them.

Shen You raised his eyes to look at Xie Chenxiao. As expected, after hearing Ms. Cheng reveal the true purpose of the call, the young man's eyes sneered, "Why? You can't take care of your own children?"

[I've been too busy recently and can't get away, and Junze always says he misses his brother, so... Chenhuo, my mother is asking you to please me, okay? 】
