The anti-Qing movement began with the looting of the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Chapter 282 Xiao Chenchen

With nothing much to do these past few days, Shen Lian decided to go back home. He'd gone back occasionally over the years, but never stayed long. There were just too many things to take care of here.

Now that the country has been established and the court is operating relatively smoothly, he can occasionally take a break.

After leaving a letter, Shen Lian returned to the modern world.

Beneath a tall office building in Shanghai, Shen Lian stepped out of a taxi carrying his suitcase. He glanced up at the building and walked inside.

The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and Shen Lian stepped out, pulling his suitcase. The four large golden characters of "Starry Night Jewelry" shone brightly.

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" A pretty receptionist quickly stood up and asked as she saw a strange man pulling a suitcase in.

"Is your CEO Wang here?" Shen Lian asked with a faint smile.

"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked with a professional smile, noticing his distinguished air.

"Well, no, but go and report it. Your boss, Mr. Wang, will definitely see me!" Shen Lian grinned crookedly.

"I'm sorry, sir! Mr. Wang's schedule is very full every day, and he doesn't have time to meet unfamiliar guests," the receptionist said politely but firmly.

Could this be another suitor of the boss? The receptionist, who has only been working there for six months, has already run into him a few times.

Although the boss had a child out of wedlock, the child's father has never appeared. Ms. Wang is young, beautiful, and wealthy, so naturally she has no shortage of suitors.

Although this person had an extraordinary demeanor and was quite good-looking, and seemed much more reliable than those rich second-generation playboys of the past, she still didn't dare let him in.

She had finally found such a good job, and she didn't want to be kicked out.

"Go and report that my surname is Shen. I guarantee that your General Manager Wang will not only not blame you, but will also praise you!" Shen Lian said with a wry smile, looking at the other party's wary eyes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen. Our CEO, Ms. Wang, really doesn't see strangers. Please don't make things difficult for me! If you want to see her, please make an appointment with Ms. Wang in advance!" The receptionist shook her head firmly.

"Xiaoxue, what's wrong?" Just then, a woman in a black suit walked over.

"President Shen, you're back?" Zhang Hui greeted Shen Lian happily upon seeing him.

"Yes! I just arrived. Is Xiaoyuan at the company?" Shen Lian nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes! I'll lead you in." Zhang Hui said, preparing to walk inside.

"No need, you go ahead and do your work! I can go in by myself." Shen Lian waved his hand.

"Zhang Hui, ask Li Xiao if he's busy today. If he's free, ask him to arrange for us to have dinner together tonight."

“Okay, he’s been at the company these past few days. We’ll arrange it right away!” Zhang Hui quickly agreed.

Shen Lian nodded and pulled the suitcase inside.

"Sister Hui, who is he?" the receptionist asked in a low voice after Shen Lian had walked away.

"You didn't make him angry, did you?" Zhang Hui asked, and the pretty girl quickly shook her head.

"That's him! He's our real boss, President Shen! A mysterious and powerful man! Be polite to him from now on, understand?"

The two receptionists stuck out their tongues and nodded repeatedly!

Shen Lian arrived at the door of the general manager's office and was about to knock when a sharp-looking woman in black suddenly appeared beside him.

"Mr. Shen, you..."

"Shh!" Shen Lian held up a finger and blew on it. The woman in black smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

"Knock knock knock," Shen Lian reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" A clear voice called out. Shen Lian smiled knowingly, opened the door, and went inside.

Shen Lian casually closed the door and saw a beautiful young woman in a cream-colored suit sitting behind a huge desk, looking at documents. Her long, black hair was styled in large waves and casually fell beside her face.

Wang Xiaoyuan heard the door close, but no one spoke. She looked up and saw a man smiling at her.

"Husband!" Wang Xiaoyuan suddenly stood up.

Shen Lian quickly dropped his suitcase and went over, opening his arms to catch the woman who was running towards him.

"Honey, you're back?" Wang Xiaoyuan hugged Shen Lian tightly around the waist and said with delight.

"Yeah! Did you miss me?" Shen Lian said with a mischievous smile.

"Mmm! I want to, I want to!" Wang Xiaoyuan nestled against Shen Lian's chest and nodded vigorously.

The pleasant scent of the woman's hair stirred something within Shen Lian. He then lowered his head and kissed her cherry lips.

Wang Xiaoyuan responded enthusiastically to Shen Lian, and the two slowly leaned against the desk.

"Husband, no!" Just as Shen Lian reached his hand inside the woman's clothes, Wang Xiaoyuan quickly grabbed him.

"Chenchen, you're watching over there!" Wang Xiaoyuan said with a blushing face in response to Shen Lian's questioning gaze.

Shen Lian turned his head and saw a small area in the corner of the office. It was carpeted and filled with toys. At that moment, a little boy of three or four years old was sitting on the floor, holding a toy car, staring intently at the two of them.

"Cough cough!" Shen Lian quickly coughed twice.

"Chenchen, Daddy's back! Didn't you want Daddy? Come here right now!" Wang Xiaoyuan straightened her clothes, walked over and picked up the child.

"Quickly call him Daddy, Chenchen!" Wang Xiaoyuan brought the child to Shen Lian and urged him.

This is Shen Xingchen, the son of Shen Lian and Wang Xiaoyuan!

Shen Lian hadn't stayed home for more than a few days, so the little guy clearly didn't remember him and looked at him timidly.

"Chenchen, I'm your dad! Call me dad!" Shen Lian smiled his gentlest smile, teasing his son.

"Daddy!" the little guy finally called out in his childish voice.

"Hey! Good son, come here and let Daddy hold you!" Shen Lian happily took the child and picked him up.

"Tell Daddy what you're playing with?" With the child around, he couldn't do anything else out of line. Shen Lian simply picked up his son and headed towards the toy section.

Wang Xiaoyuan quickly began clearing the files off her desk.

"Let's go home." Wang Xiaoyuan came over a little while later.

"So soon? You're not going to work anymore?" Shen Lian asked, looking up as he played with his son.

"It's nothing! It's not urgent work!" Wang Xiaoyuan shook her head. All she wanted to do right now was stay with Shen Lian; work didn't matter anymore.

"Alright! Come on, son! Let's go home!" Shen Lian picked up his son and the three of them walked out.

"President Wang, President Shen!" The woman in black who had appeared at the door earlier reappeared. She was Xu Li, Wang Xiaoyuan's personal bodyguard.

"Okay! Xiaoli, go call Sister Fang. Let's go home!" Wang Xiaoyuan nodded.

"Okay!" Xu Li immediately turned around and went to the next room.

"President Wang, President Shen! Are you going home first?" Zhang Hui hurriedly greeted them as they entered the lobby.
