God of Racing

Chapter 638 - 625

"Oh?" Helian Si narrowed his eyes, a half-smile on his face, "But, that night... didn’t you hug me?"

Hug him?

Yu Sangwan chuckled, shaking her head, "President, how could that be a hug? The situation was unique at the time. I genuinely thought... you were in danger."

As she explained this, Helian Si wasn’t angry; somehow, a faint sense of joy even emerged in his heart...

Before the sweat on his temples had dried, he gave a feigned smile, "Reporter Yu, let me ask you a question, and you have to answer honestly."

"Uh?" Yu Sangwan was stunned, and nodded dumbly, "Yes, go ahead."

"Do you have a boyfriend?" Helian Si maintained the same posture, leaning diagonally against the sofa, asking such a personal question with a serious expression, as if asking her... what was last year’s GDP index!

Yu Sangwan was genuinely surprised, shaking her head blankly, "No."

"No?" Helian Si curved his lips, sat upright, and leaned forward slightly, "So, you are currently single?"

"...Yes," Yu Sangwan didn’t understand why he asked, "Is there a problem? Regarding my information, it was all reviewed when applying to Guan Chao."

She was indeed single... widowhood is also single.

Helian Si wasn’t interested in listening to her chatter, impatiently interrupted her, "Reporter Yu, listen, you are now mine... can’t say my brain, at least equivalent to my voice... Therefore, if you want to date, the other half needs to get my consent first, understand?"

It was the first time hearing him say so much, Yu Sangwan was indeed shocked.

Gradually digesting the meaning behind his words, Yu Sangwan couldn’t help but laugh, nodding, "Don’t worry, I won’t date anyone; definitely won’t let it affect my work."

"Not dating?" Helian Si raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

Yu Sangwan thought, how should she explain this to him?

Should she tell him that because she’s still yearning for her deceased husband... who is your nephew Lu Jinxuan, she’d never date anyone again?

Of course not!

Yu Sangwan steeled herself, said earnestly, "I’m solely focused on work, thinking of alleviating burdens for the President and contributing my modest efforts to the development of Z Country..."

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing the latter part, Helian Si couldn’t hold it and laughed out loud.

Yu Sangwan glared, feeling embarrassed. Why was he laughing? Did she say something funny?

"Haha..." Helian Si’s lips tugged lightly, lifting a hand to his forehead, his gaze unintentionally swept over her... This girl, how could she be so funny? To brazenly lie like that!

He hadn’t felt this happy in a long, long time; even while laughing, his chest trembled. Precisely speaking, in his memory, he’d never laughed like this...

Yu Sangwan blushed, pouting awkwardly, "President, are you... okay now?"

"I’m fine... remember what you just said, I took it seriously." Helian Si tried to stop laughing, but couldn’t hide the smile in his eyes and brows.

"...Oh, I meant it seriously too."

Yu Sangwan pouted, just now he seemed really ill... Is he better so quickly?

Actually, only Helian Si knew about this illness. Despite regular health check-ups showing everything normal, he felt an emptiness in his chest... a loneliness that no amount of busy work can fill.

He had seen a psychologist before, but the mental assessments showed nothing abnormal.

Why exactly is his heart so empty? Occasionally, there would be sudden discomfort.

Like just now, hearing the child call him ’Dad’, the sickness flared again.

’Knock knock’, a couple of knocks sounded on the door. It was Ou Guanshen, "President, are you feeling better?"

"Mm." Helian Si asked, "What time is it now? I’m not attending the performance, proceed to the next agenda!"

"Yes."

...

With no special arrangements for the evening, at seven sharp, Yu Sangwan clocked out.

"President, I’m leaving now."

"Huh." Helian Si nodded slightly, watching her leave. His phone rang...

Helian Si was brewing an idea in his mind, answered the call without looking at it, "It’s Helian Si."

"Ah Si, it’s your sister, I’m in the inner courtyard now."

Helian Si’s brows immediately furrowed, "Okay, I’m coming back now."

Over the past few years, Helian Wei retired from politics, moved out of Guan Chao, living a retirement life. As he aged, his health had deteriorated in the last two years, Helian Shuang had been taking care of him. The father-daughter duo seldom returned to Guan Chao.

This time Helian Shuang came back, Helian Si needed no explanation, knowing it’s concerning him.

Entering the inner courtyard, Helian Shuang greeted him.

Helian Shuang was even thinner than five years ago, with a sharpness hidden in her gaze and smile, "Ah Si is back, quite early today. Just as well... I’ve cooked a few of your favorite dishes."

"Why bother, sister?" Helian Si removed his coat, handed it to the butler, and sat down at the dining table.

Over the years, he’d been dining alone, accustomed to not speaking.

Helian Shuang couldn’t hold back, spoke within two minutes, hinting between the lines, "Ah Si, sister has contacted a doctor for you... When you have time, sister will accompany you to see them?"

"Hmm?" Helian Si frowned, "See a doctor, why?"

"You..." Helian Shuang, being a woman, felt embarrassed to say directly; could only hint, "Didn’t you say before... there were some issues with your health?"

"No?" Helian Si still didn’t understand, shook his head blankly, "When did I say that? I’m in good health..."

"Then you..." Helian Shuang didn’t know how to hint further, spoke frankly, "Since all is well, why not marry? Whom do you want to find, can’t you?"

Upon hearing this, Helian Si’s mind became more active.

He raised his eyebrows, asked, "Sister, in your view, do I really... want anyone?"

"Isn’t it obvious?" Helian Shuang said instinctively, laughed, "Neither I nor Dad will make it difficult for you, find someone with a clean family background, who won’t ruin your image... good character is enough!"

"Oh." Helian Si nodded, recalling Yu Sangwan’s smiling face.

Pressed further, "Then... what if the other party doesn’t fancy me?"

"How’s that possible?" Helian Shuang shook her head, amused, "Don’t try to fool me here, you’re over thirty now..."

"Alright." Helian Si pursed his lips, served her some food, "I understand, will prioritize it. Sister, have some food, you must be tired coming back."

"President, this is yesterday’s commemoration report..." Ou Guanshen opened the page and showed it to Helian Si.

On the page, was an image of him holding that child, seemingly just like an ordinary father...

Helian Si’s lips unknowingly curled up, quite nice.
