Secretary Chen has a Headache Again Today!!! - Chapter 21

Chapter 21 – Chen Xun’s Sleepy Eyes

“Uncle Zhong, where is Chen Xun?”

In the hall, Lian Xufeng hurried over. Zhong Bo followed Lian Xufeng all the way and took the suit coat handed to him by the other party.

“He’s asleep.”

“Asleep?” Lian Xufeng looked back at the omega and raised his eyebrows in surprise. “It’s only six o’clock now.”

Uncle Zhong looked calm and emotionless, “Maybe he was tired from chatting and having afternoon tea with the Madam this afternoon.”

Lian Xufeng understood, he knew his mother’s character very well.

The tall Alpha walked into the dining room, opened his arms, and gave Mo Qiao, who was sitting in his seat, a warm hug.

“Mom.”

“Son.” Mo Qiao rubbed Lian Xufeng’s cheek with a smile, then narrowed his eyes in dissatisfaction and pinched him hard, “You look quite strong…”

She was obviously hinting at something, saying that Lian Xufeng ate and drank well but didn’t notice that Chen Xun was getting thinner and thinner.

Lian Xufeng, who was so straightforward, didn’t understand Mo Qiao’s subtext at all. He sat on the chair, took a sip of ice drink, and said with a smile: “Of course, I exercise every day.”

Mo Qiao made a face at him, then turned to ask Uncle Zhong: “Uncle Zhong, where is Xunxun? Ask him to come for dinner.”

“Chen Xun is asleep.” Lian Xufeng answered first, “Tell the kitchen to leave a portion of each dish for him and heat it up when he wakes up.”

The family finally got together to have a meal.

Lian Xufeng has Wei Ming and has bought an apartment outside; Lian Yan and Mo Qiao are both busy managing the huge Lian Group and are unable to spare time; Lian Xuyu is studying and has a lot of free time, but she has many friends and has parties every day, so she doesn’t go home often.

In fact, the people who stayed in this house the longest were Zhong Bo and Chen Xun.

Mo Qiao couldn’t bear to see Uncle Zhong serve them until the end of their meal, so she sent Uncle Zhong and the cook to eat early, under the pretext that she wanted to have some private conversation.

But today, she did have a lot of questions.

“A’Feng.” Mo Qiao put down her chopsticks, “Do you know how Xunxun got back today?”

Lian Xufeng raised his head. Although he was not sensitive to matters of the heart, he always thought more about Chen Xun’s affairs.

He knew that Chen Xun left with Bai Xiu Ze today.

“His senior sent him back, right?” Lian Xufeng also put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a clean hot towel.

Mo Qiao looked incredulous, “You knew?!”

Did you know you can also ask others to send you a gift?!

“Mom, that person is the blind date that Uncle Zhong introduced to Chen Xun.” Lian Xufeng took a deep breath.

He had almost suppressed the anger in his heart.

While working in the afternoon, he persuaded himself again and again that Chen Xun was free and he could go and find his own love.

As for Bai Xiu Ze, even though he was not a perfect lover, they were just friends at the moment, and he had no reason to stop them from dating.

Mo Qiao could see the confusion in his son’s heart and lowered his eyes sadly, “I think they have a good relationship.”

The veins on Lian Xufeng’s hands under the table were bulging.

He hated Bai Xiu Ze. He hated the way he was hypocritical and shamelessly approached Chen Xun.

But he didn’t want to go too far, because Chen Xun would be angry and sad.

It was just a small conflict today and Chen Xun fainted. Lian Xufeng really didn’t want to continue to make Chen Xun unhappy.

He could only suppress his indignation and pretend to be indifferent.

“I’m full, let me go back to my room first.”

Mo Qiao was unable to stop Lian Xufeng. She held her husband’s hand and muttered, “How could this happen…”

Lian Yan stroked his wife’s hair and comforted her softly, “Since they can’t be husband and wife, it’s only right that they keep their distance.”

The children had grown up, and it was time to accept reality and the inevitable pain in their lives.

Lian Xufeng stood under the sycamore tree in the garden.

He couldn’t help but raise his head and look at a room on the second floor with closed windows.

That is Chen Xun’s room.

It was the room where he had sneaked into countless times to sleep with Chen Xun.

When Chen Xun first came to the Lian family, he was very timid and would just cry secretly when he had nightmares at night.

One time when he climbed up the sycamore tree, he saw Chen Xun lying on the desk, crying and hiccuping. His pitiful appearance made his heart ache.

From then on, Lian Xufeng would sneak into Chen Xun’s room at night, hold Chen Xun in his arms while he slept, and then sneak back to his own room after Chen Xun fell asleep soundly.

Later, the matter was discovered by his parents and Uncle Zhong, and with the “help” of Lian Yan and Mo Qiao, Lian Xufeng finally got the qualification to sleep with Chen Xun in his arms openly.

The Alpha placed his hand on the rough trunk of the sycamore tree. Time passed quickly and he hadn’t climbed this tree for a long time.

He had somewhat forgotten what Chen Xun’s sleepy eyes looked like.

Lian Xufeng stared at the sycamore tree in front of him and unbuttoned his cuffs.

•=•=•

“Dad, I’m pregnant.”

“What did you say?!”

“I…I’m pregnant…”

“How dare you do such a vile thing?! You shameless fellow, I should have let you fend for yourself in the orphanage!”

Chen Xun was surprised by his adoptive father’s rage. Although his adoptive father had punished and taught him a lesson before, he had never been so angry.

“From now on, you are not allowed to go out or contact anyone. You can only stay here!”

His cell phone was taken away and the door of the room was locked. Chen Xun sat on the bed without turning on the lights or opening the windows. The dark room was like an iron fence, locking him and his heart tightly.

He is such a selfish person.

‘I could have quickly killed the child, pretended nothing had happened, and let everything return to normal.’

But he wanted this child and told his adoptive father…

Maybe he hoped that his adoptive father would support him in keeping the child.

Chen Xun sighed and fell on his back on the bed without any resistance.

His father was so angry even though he didn’t know that the child’s father was Lian Xufeng. What if he knew?

Chen Xun didn’t dare to think about it. He looked at the closed window of the room and curled his lips.

Maybe he could just jump out of the window, killing two people at once, a quick and easy death.

“Thump.”

A subtle voice came into Chen Xun’s ears.

He reflexively went to the door, but it was locked by his adoptive father. He pulled it but it didn’t budge.

“Knock knock.”

The frequency of the sound increased, but the volume seemed to become smaller.

Chen Xun walked in the opposite direction of the door.

He stood in front of the curtained window and slowly pulled up the curtain on one side.

The Alpha sat on the branch of the thick sycamore tree, leisurely tossing a few small stones up and down with one hand.

Noticing Chen Xun’s gaze, he raised the corners of his lips and made a gesture to Chen Xun.

‘Come out and play.’

The dusty memories were awakened again.

Chen Xun thought about the time when he didn’t dare to go out, Lian Xufeng did this, bringing small desserts and toys, climbing up the sycamore tree with great effort, knocking on his window with small stones, and trying his best to get him to come out to play.

And now, the handsome Alpha needs no temptation.

Because his existence itself is a desire for Chen Xun.

The slender Omega pushed open the window, looked at the hand so close to him, stepped to the window, and placed his hand in the Alpha’s palm.

It was two stories high, but he didn’t feel scared at all.

Lian Xufeng’s smile is the most powerful soothing agent in the world. Chen Xun felt his body lighten, and then he was carried horizontally to sit on the tree trunk next to Lian Xufeng.

Chen Xun’s back was leaning against the trunk of the sycamore tree.

Lian Xufeng protected his sides with his hands, because he had to get close to the Omega because he was carrying Chen Xun down.

The sultry summer breeze seems to hide a hint of imperceptible coolness.

The wind suddenly blew, and the leaves fell rustlingly.

One fell between Chen Xun’s brows, and he couldn’t help but blink.

“Don’t move.”

Lian Xufeng put his arm around Chen Xun’s waist and helped him take off the leaf.

‘The sunshine is so nice today.’

Chen Xun thought silently that while sitting in the shade of the trees, he could actually smell the warm scent brought by the sun.
