God of Racing

Chapter 637 - 624

Early the next morning, Helian Si was having breakfast.

The butler came over, holding the landline phone, "President, it’s a call."

Helian Si glanced at the butler’s expression and could already guess who the call was from.

He took the phone, showing a hint of impatience between his brows. "Hello?"

"Ah Si, why didn’t you go to meet the Qin Family’s daughter last time?"

Helian Shuang’s voice was gentle over the phone. For so many years, she had watched Helian Si focus solely on work... Now over thirty, he had neither married nor had children, not even a girlfriend by his side.

Of course, over the years, Helian Si hadn’t escaped the nagging from Helian Wei and Helian Shuang over this issue.

Still, they could nag all they wanted; he continued his solitary, self-willed ways.

"Sis, some things, I don’t know how to tell you."

Helian Si held the phone, lifting his hand to gently massage his brow.

Helian Shuang’s heart jumped, growing nervous, "What is it? What’s the matter? It’s okay, just say it..."

"I..." Helian Si hesitated, "I might have some issues."

"..." Helian Shuang was stunned, not speaking for a long time.

Knowing that Helian Si’s words were so ambiguous made one suspect and imagine a lot! A man in his prime claiming he has issues... what could those issues be?

Helian Si didn’t know what she was thinking. Checking the time, he said, "Sis, it’s getting late, I’m hanging up."

"...Oh, okay." On Helian Shuang’s end, she was already flustered.

Actually, the issues Helian Si referred to weren’t the same things Helian Shuang was thinking...

Helian Si stepped out of the yard, and Ou Guanshen was already waiting, "President."

"Mm." Helian Si nodded slightly, his mood noticeably low.

Ou Guanshen watched him through the rearview mirror, not daring to speak.

Helian Si suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at Ou Guanshen, "Guanshen, do you and your wife... have a good relationship?"

"Huh?" Ou Guanshen was taken aback, "Uh, yes... fairly good."

Helian Si frowned slightly, "Then, do you like her a lot?"

"Uh..." Ou Guanshen felt a bit embarrassed by this question, "Yes, yes... if I didn’t like her, how could we be together?"

Yes, if you don’t like someone... how can you be with them?

Helian Si curled his lips in solitude. This was his problem; for so many years, he had never felt affection for any woman! Without liking, how could he marry?

Ou Guanshen cautiously observed his expression and speculated, "President, have you... encountered relationship problems?"

"..." Helian Si gave a silent, subtle smile, answering a question with a question, "Guanshen, do you find girls cute?"

"Ah?" Ou Guanshen was startled by his question, "Of course... although they can be troublesome at times, they are still cute."

Having been around Helian Si for long, Ou Guanshen would occasionally say intimate words, so he advised,

"President, you’re at a suitable age for marriage, and no matter how much you care about state affairs, you’ll never finish them. You should find a girl, settle down, and raise children. Otherwise, who will inherit your position in the future? Children must be nurtured from a young age."

Helian Si didn’t continue the topic, "Where to next?"

"There’s a memorial event in the morning, with children of peacekeeping heroes attending. All those children have been given good arrangements..."

Listening to Ou Guanshen, Helian Si responded lightly and asked, "What about Reporter Yu?"

"Oh... she went straight to the venue."

Thinking about that girl, Helian Si unconsciously curved his lips.

At the venue, Yu Sangwan arrived early and was communicating with journalists from the news department.

From afar, Helian Si saw her hair tied back—a very mature hairstyle that actually made her appear a bit aged, not quite suitable. Even though she was a beauty...

Yu Sangwan raised her eyes, saw Helian Si approaching, quickly put down her work, rushed over briskly, and smiled, causing a deep dimple to appear on her left cheek, "President, good morning."

"Morning." Helian Si instinctively smiled slightly at her.

"Ah!" Yu Sangwan remembered something, "Wait a moment."

She hurriedly ran off but returned shortly with a thermos, "Here... since we’re not at the office today, I couldn’t ask you what you like. This is ginseng tea; drink it quickly! The event is about to start."

"Okay." Helian Si took the cup, sipping once, finding both the temperature and taste just right.

The memorial event was solemn.

All the children of decorated heroes who came were quite grown-up. Helian Si shook hands with each one, awarded them medals, gifts, and took pictures.

At the end of the line was a child around four or five years old...

Helian Si frowned, bending down to extend his hand to him.

But the child blinked his large eyes and silently opened his arms.

Helian Si was stunned. What did this mean?

Seeing him not move for a while, the site naturally grew quieter. Ou Guanshen softly reminded him, "President?"

Helian Si frowned. He wasn’t dazed, just didn’t know how to respond.

"President." Seeing this, Yu Sangwan stepped forward two steps, leaning close to his ear, "You should pick up the child! He wants you to hold him."

"..." Helian Si was taken aback, hold the child? How would he know how to do that?

Yu Sangwan spoke softly, "This isn’t hard for you; just support his little butt and let him sit in your hand. President, everyone is watching!"

The child stubbornly kept his arms open, muttering, "Hug... hug..."

Helian Si glanced down at Yu Sangwan, who smiled, giving him an encouraging look, mouthing, "Go on, hug him!"

He had to bend over and pick up the child. To his surprise, the child nestled into Helian Si’s arms, calling out, "Daddy, Daddy..."

"..." Helian Si was shocked to his core. He had never even dated, so how was he being called Daddy?

Yu Sangwan nodded to the journalists, signaling them to feature this shot! Helian Si’s usual cold demeanor contrasted with this rare, heartwarming image of him holding the peacekeeping hero’s child.

"President, we’re done. The next is the performance show..."

Ou Guanshen went to remind Helian Si but saw his pale face, sweat running down his temples, his heart skipped a beat, "President? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Sangwan also noticed. What happened to him?

"Reporter Yu, take the President to rest. I’ll handle things here..."

"Understood."

The originally planned memorial event was hurriedly left by Helian Si due to his sudden discomfort. Yu Sangwan helped him to a lounge, seeing he truly looked unwell, "President, should I call a doctor?"

She turned, about to make a call.

When a force gripped her wrist... Yu Sangwan’s hand felt as if electrified, making her fling Helian Si’s hand away and take a step back.

"..." Helian Si was startled, his face a bit pale, looking at her in shock, "You?"

"I..." Yu Sangwan realized her reaction was excessive, her gaze flickered, stammering, "I... I’m just not used to... being touched by others."

Since Lu Jinxuan’s passing, when had she ever held hands with a man?
