Chapter 2279
In a grand villa, a graceful and elegant woman was packing the clothes in a bedroom. The color of the bedroom was cool toned, which showed that it was the bedroom of a man. At this moment, the eyes of the woman, who was packing gently, were full of reluctance.
Her son was about to go abroad. Lan Yanxi felt empty in her heart. She had been with him for 25 years. She always thought that such days would last long, until her son requested to study abroad. Even if she was reluctant, she could not stop her son from advancing.
"Mom, are you done? The car has arrived downstairs," A clear male voice came from the stairs. Then, a slender and handsome figure walked in from the door.
Lan Yanxi looked up. In a trance, she seemed to see her husband in his youth. Their eyebrows and eyes were so similar.
The father and son were not only similar in appearance. In fact, their personalities were also alike. At such a young age, he had inherited his father's demeanor. He was calm and restrained, and was extremely strict towards himself. The election of the next vice president would be in two years. His father had just retired, and his son was ready to show his capabilities. Lan Yanxi couldn't help sighing. His son was so disciplined and calm. She didn't know what kind of girl he would marry in the future.
"You don't want to say goodbye to your father?" Lan Yanxi looked up at his son and asked.
"I've already called him. He told me to be careful," Nicholas smiled. Only in front of his mother would he smile so brightly.
"He only said that? Didn't he say anything else?" Lan Yanxi couldn't help but be angry. Her husband was still being so calm and restrained with their child. Back then, when he pursued her, he was not so restrained.
"No. You know dad the best. No matter how much he wants to say, he won't say it in front of me. Hmph!" Nicholas showed a look of disdain, "He must've thought that his son is too excellent, and can overcome any difficulty. He doesn't need to be worried at all."
"Son, you can't be so conceited," Lan Yanxi rolled her eyes at him and put the last piece of clothes into the suitcase. She said with a sincere concern, "When you are overseas in the future, I can't take care of you anymore. You have to learn to take care of yourself. If you encounter any problems, you must call home and don't bear it yourself."
"Mom, don't worry. There is still Hendrix. If there's anything that I don't know, I'll look for him directly," Nicholas reached out to hug his mother and said coquettishly.
Lan Yanxi held back her reluctance and pushed him away, "Well, you go there with Hendrix. Learning is a hard job. I hope you can make an achievement. When you come back, you can be as outstanding as your father and successfully become a vice president. At that time, I will be proud."
"I will. I won't let you down. I'll go now," With that, Nicholas picked up his suitcase and walked out of the house.
Lan Yanxi looked at his tall son and felt a little sad. She trotted all the way out and saw his son put the suitcase into the trunk. When he turned around, the sun shone on him. Lan Yanxi suddenly realized that her son was already 25 years old, and he was no longer the little boy who always needed her.
"Mom, don't see me off," Nicholas said as he opened the car door and got in.
"Madam Lan, don't worry. I will definitely protect Mr. Nicholas," A young man walked out of the car and said with a smile.
"Hendrix, I'll leave Nicholas to you," Lan Yanxi nodded gratefully at him. Hendrix was Nicholas' assistant. Ling Mofeng had allowed him to stay by his son's side after all kinds of tests. The two of them were about the same age, but their personalities were completely different. Hendrix was warm and sunny, while Nicholas was calm and composed. Hendrix had always respectfully addressed Nicholas as Mr. Nicholas.
The car slowly drove out of the villa. Nicholas opened the window and waved hard at his mother.
Seeing his son leave, Lan Yanxi suddenly felt sad. She must ask her husband for comfort when he came back at night. Otherwise, she would ignore him.
The car drove in the direction of the airport. Inside the car, Nicholas casually flipped through a book on diplomatic skills. His movements were elegant and showed his gracefulness.
Hendrix, who was sitting in the
passenger seat, couldn't help but
look back at the young master of the
President's family. He wondered if
he could meet his love when he
went abroad for further study.
"Hendrix, is there something on my face? You have looked back at me five times," Nicholas didn't look up, but he had already caught Hendrix's evil expression.
Hendrix immediately forced a smile and said, "Mr. Nicholas, do you still remember our previous bet?"
"I don't remember," Nicholas looked out of the window lazily, and his voice was indifferent.
"How could you forget such an important thing? Hmph, I don't want to talk to you anymore," Hendrix immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest and made a face of an angry baby. Nicholas was amused by his childish expression. Why was the boy who was three years younger than him not mature at all?
"Alright, I suddenly remembered," Nicholas didn't want to anger him, so he immediately raised his eyebrows.
"What did we bet on?" Hendrix became naughty again and turned to stare at him and asked.
"We bet who will find a girlfriend first," Nicholas said with a bored expression.
"Yes, this is an important bet," Hendrix looked proud.
"What's so important about it? If I don't get to be elected as the vice president, I won't be in the mood to find a girlfriend," Nicholas didn't look enthusiastic. He really wasn't interested.
"Don't be like that. You are in your best years as a man. If you don't find a girl to fall in love with, you will be regretful," Hendrix comforted him seriously.
"I will only be not regretful if I
succeed in my career. Otherwise, even if I meet a girl I like, so what? If
I'm not strong enough, I won't be able to give her the sense of security she wants," Nicholas was completely focusing on the election two years later. In his eyes, his father had always been the highest existence. He wanted to follow his father's footsteps and experience what he had been through. But it was not easy to achieve such a wish, he had to put in huge effort.
"Alas, a man who is devoted to his career is indeed charming, but I really want to try the sweetness and bitterness of love," Hendrix said with yearning.
"With your glib tongue, you can definitely fulfill your wish," Nicholas was very optimistic about him.
