Lu Yubei personally went to the top floor.
Seeing that the Grand State Master’s door was tightly shut, Lu Yubei bent down and knocked three times.
However, Mo Xiao didn’t open the door for a long time. Lu Yubei hesitated for a moment before increasing his strength and knocking three more times.
This time, the door finally opened.
The door was pulled open from the room. The man standing in the middle of the door was wearing pure white silk pajamas and looking at Lu Yubei coldly. It was unknown if it was an illusion, but Lu Yubei felt that the Grand State Master looked a little weak, as if…
What did it look like?
The image of a huge tree that had lost all its leaves during the winter suddenly flashed across Lu Yubei’s mind.
“What are you doing?” Mo Xiao’s voice was as reserved and cold as ever.
Lu Yubei came back to his senses and hurriedly said, “Grand State Master, the President has something to ask you. Are you free tonight?”
Mo Xiao had already been imprisoned here by the Alliance Headquarters. He had nothing to do all day. Lu Yubei’s question was just a formality.
However, Mo Xiao said, “I’m not free.”
Lu Yubei’s expression froze for a moment.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to continue.
At this moment, he heard Mo Xiao say, “You can look for me before 8: 30 PM. After 8: 30 PM, I have private matters to settle.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lu Yubei didn’t dare to ask Mo Xiao what private matters he had. He returned to the President’s office with the answer and conveyed Mo Xiao’s words to Sheng Lingfeng.
After knowing that Mo Xiao had a private matter to settle after half past eight, Sheng Lingfeng was somewhat shocked. “What private matter does he have?” Mo Xiao had few hobbies. He didn’t even have a trusted friend. During the days he was imprisoned in the Alliance, other than Di Ruofeng, no one had come to visit him.
What private matters could he have?
Sheng Lingfeng couldn’t think of an answer and was somewhat puzzled.
At that moment, the phone in the secretary’s office outside the room rang. Another a.s.sistant picked up the phone and quickly walked to the door of Sheng Lingfeng’s office. He bent down and said respectfully, “President, your family is here and wants to see you.”
His family.
Sheng Lingfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, “My daughter?”
The a.s.sistant shook her head and said, “Your son and daughter.”
Xiao’er?
Sheng Lingfeng nodded and said, “Bring them to my lounge. Also, help me book a private room at the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant. Our family will go over for a meal later.”
“Alright, President.” The a.s.sistant went to order food.
Lu Yubei thought of something and held back his laughter. “Today is the President’s birthday. I believe your daughter and son specifically came back to celebrate your birthday.”
Hearing that, Sheng Lingfeng suddenly remembered that today was his birthday.
In the past, when Lan Yao was still alive, she would always mutter in his ear a month in advance. She would ask him what birthday gift he wanted and what delicious food he wanted to eat.
On her birthday, she would cook a large table of dishes to have a meal with the two children. At night, the two of them would go to a beautiful and deserted place to spend sweet time together.
She had accompanied him to see the aurora on a cold night and to admire the majestic sea.
In the years they had been together, they had seen almost all the beautiful scenery of the Holy Spirit Continent.
At the thought of those sweet memories, Sheng Lingfeng’s heart ached. Sheng Lingfeng looked up at a bonsai tree placed by the window in the office. It was a Luohan Pine that had been carefully cultivated. A dark green snake was sleeping on the Luohan Pine.
“Ah Ru…”
As if it had heard Sheng Lingfeng’s call, the little snake opened its eyes and stuck out its scarlet tongue at Sheng Lingfeng before lowering its head to continue sleeping.
Seeing that the president was missing his wife again, Lu Yubei silently left the office and closed the door considerately.
Sheng Lingfeng stood up and walked to the Luohan Pine. He extended his index finger at the little snake. The dark green snake raised its head lazily and placed it on Sheng Lingfeng’s finger. It followed his finger and wrapped around his wrist. “The children are back. I’ll take you to see them.”
When Sheng Lingfeng pa.s.sed by the secretary’s office, he stopped and said to Lu Yubei, “Go tell the Grand State Master that I have something on tonight and I’ll look for him tomorrow.”
Lu Yubei nodded. After Sheng Lingfeng left, he stood up and said to the other colleagues in the secretary’s office, “The president won’t be working overtime tonight. Everyone, get off work early and go back to accompany your families.”
