Chapter 905 A GIF
Li Han explained, \"We had but two years ago Xiao Shen was almost possessed. He worked day and night and recovered twenty-five percent share in two years.\"
\"Is this the twenty-five percent share you were talking about?\" Mu Lan asked. She didn't think that Li Shen would be so diligent about his cousin whom he met for the first time. It surprised her.
Li Han nodded. \"Yes, this is the share he gathered for two years.\"
Mu Lan checked the documents carefully before signing. Rice ball number one Lian peeked the documents his mother was reading. She smiled at the curious rice ball and said, \"This will be yours from now on. You have to sign your name here.\" She pointed out.
Rice ball number one didn't understand what he was signing. As his mother taught him, he wrote his name neatly.
Li Han praised him, \"He has a wonderful handwriting.\"
Mu Lan was pleased to hear the compliment. She said, \"Rice ball number one loves to read and write, just like his father, isn't that right dear?\" She rubbed the little boy's head. Rice ball number one blushed as his mother praised him.
Li Han looked at the shy rice ball number four Lin. \"What about him?\"
\"He loves art just like his mother.\" Mu Lan didn't forget to rub the head of the youngest rice ball. She looked at her uncle and said, \"Tomorrow we are going to visit my parents. We will leave early in the morning.\"
\"Sure, go and have fun. But try to come back tomorrow at night. We are holding a business party the day after tomorrow and all the shareholders will be present. They will want to meet you since you will be in charge before the rice ball becomes an adult.\"
\"We will come back tomorrow. And, about cousin Shen, is he okay now?\" Mu Lan carefully asked.
Li Han took the documents from her hands and replied, \"You will find out after you meet him tonight at dinner. He will come early, he promised.\"
\"Grandpa! Where is auntie Lan?!\" Someone excitedly called out.
Mu Lan and Li Han looked at the door and a seven years old boy barged into the room. His eyes sparkled seeing Mu Lan. \"Auntie Lan!\" He ran forward and jumped over her body.
\"Little Shan!\" Mu Lan happily called out. She quickly hugged him back before her belly was hurt by him. \"how are you baby?\"
\"I'm awesome! I have been waiting for you and rice balls since yesterday. You should've come sooner!\" Little Shan was happy to see her again.
Before his parents divorced, her mother hardly cared for him and his father didn't even come home. As a result, he was raised by the maid. He occasionally met his grandparents. After his parents divorced, his life didn't change. But he craved for parental love.
His grandpa Li Han understood it well. So, he sent his grandson to Paris once every two months to spend his time with Mu Lan and rice balls. Mu Liang agreed as rice balls would be occupied by Li Shan and his wife would be free. After spending time with them, little Shan became cheerful and lively. He had grown attached to Mu Lan and rice balls.
Mu Lan stroked his head and said, \"I'm glad to hear that. Why don't you freshen up first then play with your cousins?\"
\"I will! Lian! Lin! I'm glad to see you guys!\" Little Shan embraced his two cousins. \"Come with me. I'll show you my room and playhouse. I bought a parrot. I want to show it to you.\"
\"Let's go.\" Rice ball number one Lian agreed to see the bird. The two of them left. Rice ball number four hesitated before following his brother and cousin.
Li Han asked Mu Lan, \"You are pregnant; why didn't you tell me before? No wonder you brought your doctor.\"
\"I didn't want to alarm anyone.\" Mu Lan wasn't embarrassed. She did it for her safety.
\"...I understand. It's better not to trigger anything.\" Li Han understood and sighed heavily. It was best for his son not to know about her pregnancy. It could stir some unpleasant memories.
At dinner, rice balls met their uncle. Mu Lan also greeted him. \"It's good to see you cousin Shen.\"
Li Shen curtly nodded. He looked at little rice balls and asked, \"Are they yours?\"
Mu Lan smiled. \"They are. Only the eldest one is Lian. He is going to take the shares you've prepared. Thank you so much for your generosity.\"
Li Shen said, \"The company originally belonged to your father. I'm grateful that he let me take over the company.\"
\"It belongs to you anyway. There is no reason for papa to take it from you.\" Mu Lan said. 'Wow! This guy completely changed after hypnotism. It's better this way.'
----------
One day later, at the business party, Mu Lan was talking to several shareholders. Meanwhile, Li Shen took rice ball number one Lian to an empty room. He carried the little boy to the sofa and knelt in front of him. \"Little Lian, I have something to give to you.\"
Rice ball tilted his head. He didn't speak.
\"You are a lot like your father.\" Li Shen said. Then he took out an antique locket with a chain. The locket looked like a watch but it could be opened. After opening it, there was a picture of a woman on one side and on another side, there is a small poem.
\"This lady in the picture is my and your mother's grandmother; your grandpa Ryuren and grandpa Han's mother. This locket belonged to her. It should've been passed down to your mother as she is the daughter of grandmother's eldest son. I've been keeping it for a long time. I'm giving it to you now.\" Li Shen put the locket around the kid's neck and let it hang on his neck. \"When you get older, give it to a girl you love.\"
