Chapter 533: Business trip (3)
Lanni stared off in the direction that Flynn had gone for a while. Something about his words felt odd. It was not just his words, but his face too. It was almost as though he was implying that she would not see him again. Was he going to permanently keep a distance? It would not be surprising since he had kept his distance in the last two years, and because she was Li Yuming’s daughter. It would be surprising if Li Yuming felt comfortable with him near her daughters.
However, she would be lying if she said that it didn’t sadden her. He had been her trainer for a while after all, and he was her brother. She cared about him more than she thought. But it would be for the best if they didn’t keep close.
She was lost in thought for a while. By the time she jolted out of it, she realized that she had taken quite some time. She hurried and returned to their table. As expected, Xiehan was relieved to see that she was back.
"You took a while. I was starting to miss you." He pulled her back to her seat beside him with his arm on her shoulder.
"Now that’s a side of you I never thought I would see before dying." Mr. Ricci stifled a chuckle when he saw Xiehan fawning all over his wife like she was a treasure.
"The side that loves my wife?" He looked at the man across them with a raised eyebrow.
"Not just love. The side that glared at any man who tried to take a second look at her." He made fun of him. While they were discussing, he still left a sliver of his attention to Lanni and stared off the men who were blatantly ogling her.
"But I totally understand how you feel." While he spoke, he pulled his own wife to his side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
Watching them, Xiehan was glad he brought his wife along. Mr. Ricci didn’t say it out loud but one of the reasons why he chose to collaborate with Feng Ji International was because of his interaction with Lanni. Loyalty was one of the qualities he looked for in a business partner and he believed that a man who wholeheartedly loved and was loyal to his wife was the best choice.
They were pretty much, and they only had a few details to go over. Ricci pecked his wife’s cheek. "Honey, you don’t have to sit in this meeting if it is boring. Do you want to take a walk?"
Mrs. Ricci looked relieved. "I’d love to. Lanni, would you like to join me?"
