However, Vicente did not feel disgusted. He calmly held the bowl of soup and leisurely tasted it with a spoon.

In fact, Vicente grew up with his grandparents. His grandmother was from Hong Kong, a family of Chinese medicine practitioners. She was best at cooking medicinal soup. Now that he smelled the familiar aroma of Chinese medicine, he couldn't help but miss his childhood.

"Little secretary, why are you still like when you were young? Snow pear stewed fritillary lily is to prevent your cough and nourish your stomach. You have to drink more to help you recover faster!”

Ouyang Lizi smiled at the secretary and said," When you're done, I'll help you clean up the kitchen. I should go back too. Annie will be anxious if she can't find me when she comes back!”

"Miss Ouyang, let me drive you!”

Vicente put down the empty bowl in his hand, stood up, and said calmly," Let's go!”

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was strange. Ouyang Lizi was a little hesitant because her left eyelid kept twitching, as if she didn't know what was going to happen. When she finally finished cleaning up the kitchen and was about to leave, the secretary came over with a teasing expression and said with a smile.

"Lizi, you're so popular. A handsome guy from Han is driving you. If word gets out, you'll be on the front page of the news tomorrow. This is an explosive scandal!”

"Then I'll take a taxi back myself!”Ouyang Lizi picked up her bag and said in a panic.

"Miss Ouyang, don't listen to his nonsense. It's my honor to drive for you. Let's go!”

Vicente rolled his eyes at the secretary." You're sick, and you're still not stopping? I'll settle the bill with you when you're better. Alright, I'll definitely send your girlfriend back safely. Rest assured!"”

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble!"

The little secretary smiled cheekily as she walked them to the elevator door." Lizi, remember to call me when you get home!”

"I got it. Go back and rest! Good night!"

"Bye-bye!"

Ouyang Lizi felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to reject him. She glared at him and followed Vicente into the elevator.

Soon, the elevator went downstairs, and the two of them walked out of the hotel one after another.

Vicente was tall, and his strides were fast and large. In just a short while, he was already a distance away from Ouyang Lizi. He walked towards the parking lot outside the hotel, and just as he opened the car door, he suddenly seemed to have noticed something. He gently closed the car door, turned to the other side, and opened the door of the passenger seat to wait for the woman who had jogged up to him.

"Miss Ouyang, please get in the car!" Vicente politely invited her into the car and gently closed the door for her. Then, he turned to the other side of the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat.

Ouyang Lizi wondered if all the men in Han Country were as polite and gentlemanly as him.

Ouyang Lizi, who was sitting next to Vicente, was a little reserved. She didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She could only move her face to the window and look at the moving scenery outside.

Vicente kept his eyes on the road as he drove. He didn't notice what the woman beside him was thinking.

Suddenly, Vicente turned his head and asked gently," Are you Japanese?”

"Japanese? No, I'm not!"

Ouyang Lizi was so nervous that her palms started to sweat when she heard him. She stuttered," Why would you ask that? Do I look Japanese to you?"

"Sorry, I misunderstood your name. Actually, you have the gentleness and temperament of a Japanese girl.”Vicente said with a faint smile.

Soon, the car passed a traffic light and turned another corner. Ouyang Lizi turned her head to look at his slightly furrowed face.

"Is that so? Maybe you think my name is more like a Japanese girl's name?”

"I'm sorry, I was rude. Miss Ouyang, please don't mind!”

"It's not strange that you don't know!"

Ouyang Lizi didn't know why, but this man seemed to have never expressed his feelings wantonly. No matter when, he could hide it very well. There was no anger, no sadness, no sadness, and no joy.

The only emotion she could capture from his face was the fleeting peace and warmth when he was facing the child named Wei Amon.

In the past, Ouyang Lizi would talk about life with people she knew and her feelings with people she knew. She could chat with strangers about happy things, happy things, unhappy things, anything. But now, he was very perfunctory with people he knew. He would either laugh or stop. If he didn't want to talk too much with someone he knew, then he didn't want to talk to someone he didn't know. She didn't want to tell anyone about her happiness and suffering. Perhaps, after experiencing this series of painful things, they began to understand that no one was an angel to anyone, and no one could save anyone! In the end, he could only rely on himself.

There was neither happiness nor pain in the world, only the comparison between the two situations. Only those who had experienced the greatest misfortune and tribulations could truly feel where happiness was.

"Miss Ouyang, do you like children?”

The corners of Vicente's lips curled up, but his pupils were still so deep that they could not touch the bottom of his face. He raised his stubbly chin slightly and asked casually," Do you think A Meng is cute?”

"A Meng? He was very smart and likable!”Ouyang Lizi smiled when she thought of the little guy who refused to let go of her.

"Miss Ouyang, there's something I want to ask you for help with. I wonder if you're willing?”Vicente looked at her with embarrassment and said softly.

"What can I do for you?" Ouyang Lizi felt a little puzzled. She thought to herself, with her current state, does she have the ability to help someone who doesn't need help at all?

"Help me take care of A Meng. I know you haven't gone to work yet, so I thought that you like children.”

Vicente smiled and said calmly," If Miss Ouyang is willing, can you help take care of A Meng? He likes you very much. I'll pay you according to the salary of a formal employee of the Wei Corporation.”

When Vicente said these words, it was as if he was asking where they were going to eat today. It was obviously a normal and calm tone, but Ouyang Lizi was shocked for a long time.

She knew that a multi-national corporation had high requirements for the professionalism of its employees, which corresponded to their high salaries. Now, he only wanted her to help take care of a child, and he had already offered such a condition. It was no different from a big pie falling on her head.

"But I... Mr. Wei, have I ever taken care of a child before?”Ouyang Lizi said anxiously. Suddenly, the car braked and stopped.

"Miss Ouyang, we're here. You don't have to answer me immediately. I know you like children too, and A Meng really likes you. I think you two should get along well!”

If Vicente's previous words were all formal and polite, this one sentence showed his sincerity, and even a hint of desire.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420183: 20PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
