Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 17: What Do You Want?

Ye Xinluo stood there dumbfounded, feeling completely confused.

Did he call me in just to ask a few trivial questions?

Ye Xinluo rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Mister, aren't you bored? I have things to do and no time to chat about this.

"Things to do?"

"No."

Quickly snapping out of her thoughts, she turned and left the CEO's office.

The moment she closed the door of the CEO's office, Lan Shan dashed up to her, startling Ye Xinluo. "What are you doing? You scared me to death."

"You haven't done anything wrong, why are you so scared?"

Lan Shan looked at Ye Xinluo, who was still in shock, trying not to laugh.

"Do you know that people scaring people can be fatal?"

Pushing Lan Shan aside, she walked towards her desk.

"Xinluo, why did the CEO call you just now?"

Lan Shan followed behind her, asking excitedly.

She originally planned to ask Xinluo if she wanted to grab dinner tonight.

When she arrived and didn't find her at her desk, she thought Xinluo had gone to the restroom or to get water until Assistant Mo told her the CEO had called Xinluo over.

She was a bit curious about why the CEO called Xinluo, so she waited here.

"Nothing much, just asked me a couple of questions."

Ye Xinluo sat in her chair, speaking in a calm tone.

She wondered if the CEO might not be quite right in the head.

"Ah?"

"What did you say?"

Lan Shan leaned over Ye Xinluo's shoulder, a bit incredulous.

"What kind of questions did he ask?"

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

"Just if I could speak French."

"And then?"

"That's it?"

Ye Xinluo gave her a look as if she was an idiot.

"What position did you apply for when you submitted your resume, Xinluo?"

"CEO's Secretary."

She was still puzzled by how she was supposed to be a CEO's secretary yet ended up as a CEO's assistant.

"Huh?"

"I thought you applied for the CEO's Assistant position."

I thought Xinluo initially applied for the CEO's Assistant position.

Turns out, I was overthinking.

So what's the deal here?

"I don't know either. This morning, Assistant Mo brought me directly here."

"Forget it, I don't want to dwell on it. What do you want for dinner tonight?"

Not wanting to linger on this issue, Lan Shan was now consumed with thoughts of what to eat tonight.

She hadn't seen little Jingxi for days and kind of missed him.

"Anything is fine."

"Alright, I'll pick the place then."

Asking Ye Xinluo where to eat is less helpful than just eating more rice bowls.

She screwed up her mouth helplessly.

After thinking for a long time, she didn't know where to eat.

Lately, she hadn't had much of an appetite.

Might as well buy veggies and cook at home.

"By the way, where does the little one go to school? How about we pick him up after work and then go to the supermarket to buy groceries and cook at home?"

It's been years since she tasted the rice cooked by Xinluo, just thinking about it makes her drool.

"Sure, that sounds good."

Ye Xinluo didn't refuse. She'd also been thinking of treating Lan Shan to dinner, so this was a perfect opportunity.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Sweet and sour ribs, boiled fish."

Lan Shan named two dishes without hesitation.

When Ye Xinluo first cooked for her, she made these two dishes, and she's loved them ever since.

"Okay."

"What are you guys talking about?"

Mo Han's voice rang out, and Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan turned to look in his direction.

"Assistant Mo."

"Assistant Mo."

Mo Han walked closer, looking at the two of them.

Just now, when he came out from the water cooler, he saw Lan Shan leaning over Ye Xinluo's shoulder, saying something.

Judging by the looks of it, these two seemed quite familiar with each other.

"Do you two know each other?"

He thought if these two really knew each other, maybe he could talk to Lan Shan sometime.

"Xinluo is my best friend, we've known each other since high school."

Lan Shan draped an arm around Ye Xinluo's shoulder as she introduced.

"I see..."

Looks like his guess was right. If he wanted to pursue Ye Xinluo, maybe he could start by getting closer to Lan Shan. "You guys chat, I have some errands to run, I'll be off."

"Okay, goodbye, Assistant Mo."

After Mo Han left, Lan Shan and Ye Xinluo chatted for a bit longer before returning to their own desks.

Once all the work was done, they could enjoy delicious food tonight.

At five-thirty in the afternoon, Ye Xinluo and Lan Shan grabbed their bags and left Beichen Group together.

When they arrived at the kindergarten, all the children had left, leaving only Jingxi making crafts with the teacher in the classroom.

The kindergarten dismisses at four, while Beichen Group's working hours end at five-thirty. That meant the little one had to wait at school for an hour and a half after school.

Ye Xinluo wondered if she should hire a nanny to take care of the little one, picking him up from school.

If she got caught in traffic on the way, wouldn't the little one have to wait for her hungry?

"Mommy, godmother Shanshan."

The little one looked up from his crafting, and upon seeing the two standing at the door, called out sweetly.

"Sweetheart, did you miss godmother?" Lan Shan walked over to the little one and hugged him.

"I did."

"How about a kiss for godmother?"

The little one was very obliging and leaned over to give Lan Shan a peck on the cheek.

"Sweetheart is so good."

Lan Shan gave him a kiss back on the cheek and pinched his face affectionately.

"Teacher Li, sorry for the trouble."

Ye Xinluo approached, speaking apologetically.

"No trouble at all, Jingxi is very well-behaved, we all like him."

She spoke the truth; Jingxi was very well-behaved while at school.

He was younger than most of his classmates, but he was the most sensible one, requiring minimal attention.

Though he'd only been at the school for a few days, he was already quite popular with the teachers and kids.

In the kids' circle, he was like a little leader, with many children following his lead.

"Alright, we'll let you get back to work, we'll head off then."

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye, teacher." Jingxi clung to Lan Shan's shoulder, bidding the teacher cheerfully.

"Bye-bye, Jingxi."

After leaving kindergarten, the three walked to the roadside to look for a taxi.

Lan Shan didn't drive to work today because her car was sent for maintenance yesterday; they had taken a taxi to the kindergarten.

They waited at the roadside for a while but couldn't get a taxi.

This was the rush hour, making it difficult to catch a taxi.

Lan Shan: "Xinluo, what should we do if we can't get a taxi?"

Ye Xinluo: "Maybe we should take the bus?"

Lan Shan: "Okay, I guess that's our only option."

Just as they were about to head to the bus stop, a Bentley slowly pulled up in front of them.

While they were confused about what was happening, the door of the driver's seat opened, and a middle-aged man stepped out, walking around the front of the car towards them.

"Uncle Ning."

Jingxi recognized the man, getting excited and holding out his arms for a hug.
