Xie Siqi's sneaking back to the country from America was something Xie Li found out about while vacationing at a ski resort in Northern Europe. Xie Li originally had a separate residence in Northern Europe, where there was even a private artificial hot spring on the estate.
When he was notified, he happened to be soaking in the hot spring, with snow-capped mountains visible when he looked up, feeling extremely comfortable all over. Unfortunately, his mood was spoiled in an instant when Assistant Gao didn't show up, and another assistant was arranged.
The assistant approached him with a phone, and as soon as he took it, Assistant Gao's voice came through.
"Sir, the people over at Young Master Xiao's side said that Young Master Xiao disappeared this morning, and there are signs that he has returned to the country. I've already sent people to look out at Shen Xiyue's place. The old master hasn't been contacted yet. Should we inform them?"
Listening to this, Xie Li felt a headache coming on.
Before he could speak, Jiang Yuying and Xie Siyun returned from skiing. Xie Siyun went back to her room, Jiang Yuying changed her clothes, opened the door to the inner room, and stepped out.
Wrapped in a bathrobe, Jiang Yuying was undressing when Assistant Gao spoke, and before Xie Li could respond, he felt ripples beside him as Jiang Yuying leaned over.
Seeing him remain silent for a while, Jiang Yuying looked at him with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Although Jiang Yuying's dressing style had changed somewhat recently, she was generally conservative. Even though she was about to soak in the hot spring, she was still wearing a swimsuit with lace edges.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have undressed in front of the assistant; she would have sat quietly on the side until the assistant left before getting into the water.
Xie Li subconsciously didn't want her to know about his stupid son sneaking back to the country. Talking to Assistant Gao, he was a bit ambiguous: "You handle this yourself, try not to contact them if you can help it, and only tell us if it's necessary."
Assistant Gao was indeed a very smart person and immediately realized that Xie Li was saying this for a reason. His response was very concise, and he didn't mention anything about Xie Siqi: "Yes, sir, I understand." After saying a few more casual words, making it sound like no big deal, he hung up the phone.
Xie Li handed the phone to the assistant next to him, who took it and went out, considerately closing the door to the inner room.
Jiang Yuying felt a bit sorry for Xie Li: "You're on vacation, but you still have to deal with work. Assistant Gao gets paid so much, and he still has to come to you."
Xie Li felt a bit guilty. He couldn't say that the reason Assistant Gao couldn't handle it was because it was a family matter. If it was work-related, unless it was something particularly big, he and the CEO would handle it together and only tell Xie Li the result in general.
Sitting on the stone steps next to Xie Li for soaking in the hot spring, Jiang Yuying had her hair tied up for the hot spring, revealing her snowy white neck. She had just returned from skiing and couldn't help but feel a bit cold, so she was shrinking her body, wanting to bury herself in the hot spring.
Warming herself on one side, while still chatting with Xie Li: "What's wrong? Should we call a doctor?"
Doctors overseas are notoriously hard to book, but for Xie Li and them, it's no big deal. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the millstone. As long as you spend enough money, doctors will come to your door to treat you.
But Xie Li was just pretending. How could he let her call a doctor?
He shook his head: "It's probably just because of my age, a minor issue, nothing to worry about, just can't accompany you skiing."
Jiang Yuying was very moved: "It's okay, I still have Siyun to accompany me." She leaned gently against Xie Li's neck, obedient and gentle.
In the distance, the snow-capped mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, with a cluster of white at the top, gradually turning into dense green closer down, like undissolved ink. Further down, scattered warm-colored roofs dotted the landscape. Looking up, it was such a beautiful sight.
Surrounded by hot water, steam rose gently, enveloping the hot air; holding the warmth and fragrance, with the beauty by his side.
In short, it was blissful.
Xie Li sighed, the bad mood from the phone call just now had disappeared completely. Vacation was such a blissful thing.
At night, the snow-capped mountains outside reflected the soft moonlight, enveloping the entire town of the resort in a faint soft light. Lying in the warm bed when everything was quiet made it easy to doze off.
