Chapter 986: Just to Trick Him?
Saihand didn’t utter a sound.
Cen Mo appeared surprised. He closed his book and looked at Saihand, asking earnestly, “You really have a woman now?”
Saihand’s lips parted, and his throat vibrated, but finally, he pursed his lips. Little Lu said it, even towards the boss he respected the most, he had to have some secrets, for a special a.s.sistant who had no reservations had no charm at all!
Saihand decided to maintain some mysteriousness. He said one word to Cen Mo, “Secret!”
Over this period of time, Fu Huai’an’s family lived there, so Fu Huai’an’s a.s.sistant Little Lu naturally lived there too!
Saihand saw that Little Lu was especially popular after he got there, everyone liked Little Lu very much. Plus, based on his observation, no matter where Little Lu went, he was very popular. Others’ opinions of Little Lu were that he was a very charismatic male.
As for Saihand, all along, regardless of whether it was at the Cen residence or anywhere else, everyone felt nothing but fear towards him!
But Saihand didn’t want others to fear him. He didn’t deliberately pretend to be aloof. Instead, he really wanted to be like Little Lu, to be able to hit it off with the rest. He just couldn’t do it!
Hence, he went to ask Little Lu what he should do to become more charismatic. Little Lu, who misinterpreted Saihand’s intentions, thought that Saihand was asking him for advice on how to appear neither haughty nor humble before Cen Mo, so he told Saihand that he ought to have his own secrets. What he couldn’t tell his boss, he should be resolute about not telling his boss! That he would become more charismatic by insisting on his own stand and principles!
Saihand wanted to become as charismatic as Little Lu, so he wanted to start having secrets of his own.
Actually, what Little Lu didn’t tell Saihand was that charisma had a lot to do with one’s looks too.
Little Lu was born handsome. Apart from the time he was with Fu Huai’an, when standing alone, he wasn’t at all inferior to any celebrity. He was also gentlemanly and polite. How could a man like that have no charisma!
As for Saihand, he was tall and burly, and his features didn’t appear gentle at all. Instead, his craggy face made him appear rough and murderous. Every gesture he made reeked of killing intent, making one feel like they should run as far away from him as possible!
After all… Saihand didn’t even look friendly when he smiled, so who would be willing to go near him!
Cen Mo was the only one who didn’t disdain Saihand’s smile.
Cen Mo looked up and took a deep look at Saihand. “Don’t obey everything a woman says just because she’s pretty. Be careful, or you’ll be duped by a woman. Be more careful when you interact with her! Also… don’t be too rigid. When you meet her, remember to bring a bouquet of flowers. Women like that!”
Saihand very much wanted to explain things to Cen Mo, but when he recalled Little Lu’s words, he held himself back. Instead, he merely nodded.
“Tsk tsk, that must be it. You must have gotten yourself a woman…” Cen Mo shook his head, then went back to reading his book.
Saihand was rendered speechless.
So all those things he said just now were just to trick him? How could Mr. Cen be so childish?
“Go!” Cen Mo said to Saihand. “No need to hurry back tonight…”
“Okay, Sir!” Having gotten Cen Mo’s approval, Saihand retreated from the room.
He didn’t have to accompany Cen Mo today. Saihand had no idea what he should do with his time, so he whipped out his phone and dialed Little Lu’s number…
“Little Lu, I asked for a few hours’ leave from Sir today. Sir said I don’t have to come back tonight. Tell me what I need to do to make myself more charismatic!” Saihand said.
Little Lu scratched his head blankly and said, “You can… meet up with your friends!”
“Then let’s meet up, where are you? I’ll come and look for you!” Saihand was rather happy.
“I’m… at Lady Boss’s filming location.”
“Okay, I’m coming right over!”
After hanging up, Little Lu was a little confused…
He had asked Saihand to meet up with his friends, so why was he coming to meet him?
“What’s the matter?” Fu Huai’an turned around and glanced at the frowning Little Lu.
“Mr. Saihand, who works for Mr. Cen, said he asked for leave from Mr. Cen. I don’t know what he’s up to, but he says he’s coming over to look for me…” Little Lu said to Fu Huai’an.
Fu Huai’an nodded. “Then you can take today off too, have a good rest!”
Little Lu smiled and nodded. “Okay, Sir!”
However, Little Lu was still puzzled—why was Saihand coming to look for him? Something felt off…
…
Because Fu Huai’an was the largest investor of the movie, Lin Nuan didn’t have that many scenes. Little Lu told Yang Rui that Mr. Fu hoped that Lin Nuan could finish filming all her scenes before the new year.
Tomorrow, Lin Nuan needed to return to Haicheng to record “Talking with Lin Nuan” and “After Heroes.” Miss Xia had already made the arrangements, so Lin Nuan, Fu Huai’an, and Tuan Tuan would be setting off for home tonight.
It could be said that tomorrow would be Lin Nuan’s most exhausting day. After dragging her tired body back to Haicheng, she had to record two shows back-to-back, then fly back to Morocco to complete all her scenes.
Cen Mo originally felt that it was a rush, hence suggested Tuan Tuan stay in Morocco. But Tuan Tuan was unwilling to part with his parents. Knowing that Lin Nuan would be returning to Haicheng tonight, he bounced back to his room and busily went about packing his own luggage.
Cen Mo stood at the door, watching as the little fellow ran around while carrying several sets of his one-piece pajamas, stuffing them into the luggage.
“Why are you packing that?” Cen Mo asked.
Tuan Tuan, who had his b.u.t.t stuck up in the air, huffed and puffed as he stuffed his clothes into his luggage. Looking up to see Cen Mo, who was standing at the door, he blinked his large and sparkly eyes. “Pajamas!”
“Right, I know they are pajamas. I meant… why are you packing so many sets?” Cen Mo smiled and walked to Tuan Tuan, squatting down opposite him, asking patiently.
Tuan Tuan gazed at Cen Mo and answered earnestly, “Wear!”
Cen Mo was tickled by the little fellow. He reached out to stroke Tuan Tuan’s head. It was said that nephews resembled their uncles… but why did their endearingly silly Tuan Tuan look nothing like him?
Cen Mo recalled what he looked like when he was a kid…
Perhaps, if he had grown up in the Lu family all along and didn’t go missing, he might have been as endearingly silly as Tuan Tuan.
“You and your parents are merely going back home for two days. You’re leaving tonight, and when you return home, it’ll be night there too. You’re only sleeping for one night. On the second day, when your mama is done with her recording, you’ll be coming back at night. So, it’s enough for you to take just two sets of pajamas!” Cen Mo helped Tuan Tuan take out the excess pajamas, then spoke with Tuan Tuan. “Tuan Tuan… do you want to consider staying here with Uncle and Aunt for two days, waiting for Papa and Mama to come back?”
Tuan Tuan shook his head earnestly. “Want Mama!”
It was in kids’ natures to stick to their mothers. When Cen Mo was at Tuan Tuan’s age, he would secretly ask himself where his mother was too…
