144: Warming up

Not long after Shaojun Wang left, inside Heavenly Palace Media.

Ye Lingxi heard the company's people discussing. Although the voices were very low, she still heard them.

Frowning, she thought, 'The boss came to the company? How come I didn't know?'

After finding Ye Lingxue, she quietly recounted what she had just heard.

This made Ye Lingxue feel even more guilty. Didn't she say the thick coat was fine?

Seven thirty in the evening!

Inside Xitan Palace, Shaojun Wang had just finished dinner with his family when Butler Wei suddenly leaned close to his ear and said, "Young Master, Ye Lingxue and Ye Lingxi have arrived."

Hearing this, Shaojun Wang's expression clearly froze. He hadn't expected them to actually come looking for him.

However, thinking of the seventy-something favorability, he wasn't too surprised.

"Where are they now?"

"Young Master, they are outside. I wanted to let them in, but they refused to enter."

Seeing this, Shaojun Wang didn't think much of it. Because of the system's previous hints, he might be the one who understood the two sisters best in this world, aside from their mother.

As for their relatives, it was truly hard to describe. When facing such matters, it was when human nature was most revealed.

Their father died young, and their mother now had cancer. So, their various aunts and uncles were practically avoiding them.

When he arrived at the entrance of Xitan Palace, he saw the two sisters pacing back and forth. Ye Lingxue was still holding a paper bag.

He didn't need to look to know what was inside.

Seeing him come out, Ye Lingxue's face lit up with a brilliant smile. She handed over the bag she was holding and said, "Boss, about what happened before... thank you for saving us. This is your coat."

Seeing this, Shaojun Wang reached out, took the bag, and handed it to Butler Wei, who was behind him.

He turned to look at the two sisters. Their height, among girls, was considered tall, about 1.71 meters. But he had to admit, they were indeed twins; not only their appearance and figure, but even their height was similar.

If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be able to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.

"No need to thank me. When something like that happens, how could I stand by and do nothing? I just finished dinner. If you two are free, why don't you accompany me for a walk? Also, we're not at the company now, so you don't need to call me boss. Just call me by my name, Shaojun or Brother Jun, either is fine."

As he spoke, he walked along the roadside, talking. Seeing this, Ye Lingxue had no choice but to follow. She still had a lot more to say.

One man and two young women, admiring the scenery along the way while chatting animatedly.

After the three walked away, Butler Wei looked at the Alphard parked by the roadside where the gate opened. He knew it was a Heavenly Palace Media car.

After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward, looked at the driver in the driver's seat, and said with a smile, "Do you have something urgent at home that you need to go back and handle? Don't worry, someone will send them back later."

The driver didn't recognize Butler Wei, but he recognized Shaojun Wang. Since the other person could follow the boss, he must be a Bodyguard or a butler.

But regarding Butler Wei's words, he was first stunned, then quickly reacted. He didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly nodded, saying, "Oh right, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten. My family called just now, and there is indeed something I need to go back and handle."

With that, he started the car and quickly drove away.

Watching the departing figure, Butler Wei's face showed a faint smile, then he followed Shaojun Wang and the others from a distance.

The scenery around Xitan Palace was still very good. In addition, since it was in the suburbs and there were no residences nearby, the environment was well-preserved.

The cold night wind rustled the leaves. As it was already close to the end of the year, the temperature in Modu could be said to be very cold.

The three chatted for a long time. The two sisters, Ye Lingxue, hadn't expected that Shaojun Wang, as the boss of Heavenly Palace Group, would be so approachable with them.

Coupled with the series of events that had happened recently, this gave them a unique good impression of this special man beside them.

Just as Shaojun Wang was about to say something more, the system's prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations Host, the twins' favorability has increased to 80. Do you wish to claim the reward?"

Hearing this sound, he secretly rejoiced. Eighty! Only twenty left. What would the system's reward be then?

He was somewhat expectant. Please don't disappoint me, after all, this favorability increase was really too difficult.

Unlike others, where you just reveal your identity and throw some money around.

However, those favorability levels could only go up to 99. So far, besides Wang Yuxin, no one else had reached one hundred.

"System, do not claim temporarily."

With only 80 favorability, even if he claimed it, there wouldn't be anything good, because this was the minimum threshold.

He then turned to look at the two sisters beside him, seeing their noses red from the cold. He checked the time; it was already past eight in the evening without them realizing it. He couldn't help but smile and say, "It's getting a bit late. Thank you for chatting with me for so long."

Ye Lingxue was stunned at his words. She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and said, "It's... it's fine. As long as you don't mind us wasting your time."

In her opinion, the other person was the boss of Heavenly Palace Group and must be very busy normally.

Thinking this, he must also be very lonely, right? With so many things to be busy with every day, building such a large group, he must usually have no time for other things.

At this thought, she couldn't help but cautiously look up at Shaojun Wang's face. An unprecedented stir within her heart now rippled.

Shaojun Wang naturally didn't see this scene. He looked up at the sky and then, feigning ignorance, asked, "Oh right, how did you two get here?"

Ye Lingxi was the first to answer, "The company provided us with a car and a driver. We came in the company car."

"I see, that's good then. If you have any issues at the company in the future, you can go to Li Yi. He will help you handle them. Of course, you can also contact me. Come, give me your phone."

As he spoke, he held out his hand to Ye Lingxi, signaling her to give him her phone.

After both of them had added his contact information, they soon returned to the entrance of Xitan Palace.

Only, what made them dumbfounded was...

Where was the car?

Where did the car that brought them here go?

Butler Wei saw the confused expression on their faces and quickly explained, "Uh, well, the driver said he had something to take care of at home, so he went back first."

"Ah! Then what do we do?"

"Sister, why don't we take a taxi back?"

Hearing 'taxi,' Ye Lingxue's heart trembled. To be honest, she was a bit resistant to that now; it was like 'once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of a straw rope.'

Seeing this, Shaojun Wang glanced at Butler Wei, who was standing calmly by. This fellow must have done it on purpose.

However... good job, he deserves a reward!

"How about this, I'll drive you two back."

Before Ye Lingxue could speak, Ye Lingxi beside her smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll trouble Brother Jun."

"Xiao Xi!"

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"You..."

Ye Lingxue hesitated to speak, and, constrained by Shaojun Wang's presence, swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Seeing this, Shaojun Wang smiled and said, "You two wait here, I'll go get the car."
