Chapter 152: Guidance In Love
Huo Tian shook her head and ran to chat with the doctor with brisk steps. She needed to communicate in detail with the doctor and tell him about her thoughts. The two of them would then work out a plan to make the exoskeleton equipment.
Si Huan wasn’t with Huo Tian. He had been sitting in the reception room of Xi Cheng’s house.
After Xi Cheng and Huo Tian finished chatting, he was probably feeling a little agitated and did not want to deal with the tedious documents anymore. Therefore, he went to the reception room.
Si Huan quickly stood up and greeted Xi Cheng with a nod, “Mr. Xi.”
Xi Cheng waved his hand. “Have a seat. I’m here to have a chat with you. You don’t have to be too reserved.”
Xi Cheng then turned his head slightly and said to the male servant pushing the wheelchair behind him, “There’s nothing for you to do here. You can leave first.”
The servant bowed slightly and left the reception room. Only Xi Cheng, who was in a wheelchair, and Si Huan, who was sitting on the small sofa, were left in the room.
Si Huan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Xi Cheng. The latter took a small sip out of politeness then placed the cup on the table.
He sized up Si Huan, who was in front of him and then said with a smile, “I really couldn’t tell that you’re quite bold despite being such a young age. However, you are still a little softhearted. This might cause you endless troubles in the future.”
Si Huan’s expression was calm as usual, but he paused when he put down the teacup. If it wasn’t for his sharp observation, Xi Cheng might not have noticed the abnormality in Si Huan’s actions.
Si Huan said indifferently, “Mr. Xi, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
Si Huan did not know if the reason Xi Cheng said this was because he had known something or if he was purposely trying to sound him out. Hence, he did not dare to panic and could only pretend not to know what Xi Cheng was talking about to muddle his way through.
However, Xi Cheng did not give Si Huan a chance to bluff his way through.
Xi Cheng was not someone who liked to beat around the bush. Moreover, in his opinion, Si Huan’s methods were still very inexperienced.
He let out a soft sneer and said, “Young man, don’t act like a fool in front of me. I know all your tricks very well. The Hein Corporation is starting to suspect you. A few old fellows from the He Family came to look for me yesterday. They hope that I can help them find their CEO, He Yu. It’s just that I’ve managed to fool them somehow.”
Upon hearing this, Si Huan couldn’t deceive himself anymore. However, he didn’t panic or feel at a loss as if his secret had been exposed. Instead, he became even calmer. “Since you know He Yu’s whereabouts, why didn’t you tell the He Family? They should be very worried about Mr. He Yu’s safety, right?”
Xi Cheng leaned back in his wheelchair and waved his hand calmly. “You don’t have to sound out my attitude on this matter. I can tell you clearly that I won’t help the He Family. On the one hand, it’s because I don’t like the way the He Family does things. They’re too vicious and merciless. On the other hand, it’s because I admire you more, although I don’t like your softheartedness.”
“I don’t know what conflict you had with He Yu, but since you’ve already made a move, you should eliminate the problem at its roots. Otherwise, when He Yu wakes up in the future, he will leave behind countless disasters for you.”
Si Huan knew that someone like Xi Cheng didn’t care to lie. There was no need for him to lie in front of him.
Hence, those words were Xi Cheng’s true attitude towards the He Family and He Yu. Si Huan was relieved.
A light smile appeared on his lips as he said, “Mr. Xi, your thoughts are exactly the same as those old men in my family. They all think that I should eliminate the problem at its roots. The truth is, I don’t lack courage and decisiveness, but you probably don’t know that Huo Tian was with me back then. I couldn’t have easily taken a person’s life in front of her, even if that person disgusts me like a stink bug…”
“Huo Tian?” Xi Cheng repeated in surprise. He immediately understood what Si Huan meant and laughed out loud. He even slapped his thigh as he laughed.
When he was done laughing, Xi Cheng said with a voice that still was filled with smiles, “You brat, you’re young but you know how to cherish ladies. It’s no wonder you came along to my house with Miss Huo Tian today. I thought you were trying to use this opportunity to build a relationship with me, but it seems like I was being too narcissistic. You just want to accompany Huo Tian because you’re afraid I’ll bully your little girlfriend…”
Si Huan did not show any embarrassment in the face of Xi Cheng’s teasing. He did not deny his feelings for Huo Tian and only said, “Mr. Xi, you’ve misunderstood. Huo Tian and I are not in a relationship yet.”
Xi Cheng shook his head unhappily when he saw Si Huan’s indifferent expression. He clicked his tongue and said, “Young man, you’re not that good at taking action. Since you’ve fallen for a girl, you should give it your all to woo her. Aren’t you afraid that Huo Tian will end up being taken away by another boy with how cautious you’re acting?”
Si Huan took a sip of tea and said, “Thank you for your suggestion. However, the progress of our relationship till now is completely within my expectations, so I probably don’t need your guidance in love.”
