[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch104 - Found a Little Friend

【He's not just richer. He's got power and status too.】Song Xuanhe reminded him in a teasing tone.

【Are you going to attend the banquet?】

Song Xuanhe：【What do you think?】

The System：【The data says that you won't.】

Li Nianan's voice chimed in at the same time as the System. "Xuanhe, what's going on between you and Xiao Xiao? Did you guys break up or not?"

"We broke up." Song Xuanhe paused and then added, "But, we're still in contact."

The System's voice echoed in his head again：【I've noticed that you treat Li Nianan differently from the rest of the Song Family. Why? Is it because her last name is Li?】

Li Nianan's brows furrowed. She lowered her voice: "Do you still like him?"

Song Xuanhe parted his lips and then pursed them. "No."

"Don't lie." Li Nianan smiled. "But, if you're not willing to go, you don't have to go. Don't listen to your dad."

【She's right. My data says that your goodwill towards Xiao Yuanmu is higher than that of even Li Nianan. You like Li Nianan, which means that you must like Xiao Yuanmu too.】

Song Xuanhe's expression changed slightly. He told the System to shut up and then spoke to Li Nianan: "I want to resign."

Li Nianan was taken aback. She looked at Song Xuanhe. Coincidentally, Song Guochao and Song Guohua just so happened to fall silent at the same time. Everyone had heard what he had said.

"Why?"

"I want to take a break," Song Xuanhe said, "To explore."

Li Nianan frowned. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated. Before she could say anything, she heard Song Guochao say: "You're young. It's the perfect time to work on your career. What break? I haven't even retired yet, and you want to take a break? I won't allow it."

Song Xuanhe wasn't surprised that Song Guochao was against this. However much Song Guochao once had wanted to push him out of the company was now how much he wanted him to stay. If he were to quit, the rumours outside would multiply like rabbits. People would think that Song Xuanhe's relationship with Song Guochao had crumbled. Connecting this to what people thought of his relationship with Xiao Yuanmu, people would think that the relationship between the Song Family and Xiao Family was broken. This would negatively affect Song Guochao's status.

However, Song Xuanhe didn't need Song Guochao's permission. He looked at Li Nianan.

Li Nianan pulled on Song Xuanhe's hand. Who knew what she was thinking of, but her eyes were filled with concern. For a moment, she didn't speak.

Song Guochao knew that he couldn't persuade Song Xuanhe. He cast Song Guohua away and walked over to Li Nianan. "Didn't you say that you'd take care of your son? He doesn't even want to bother with the company anymore. Are you going to do anything about it?"

"Of course I will."

Upon hearing this, Song Guochao sighed in relief. However, a second later, he heard Li Nianan say: "You promised that you wouldn't meddle in Xuanhe's affairs. You promised. I'll take full responsibility for this. There's no need for you to get involved."

As she had said this, she pulled Song Xuanhe to his feet. "Come with Mom to the garden."

Song Guochao watched as mother and son disappeared with a dark expression on his face. Song Guohua snickered. "You were born into a good family, but your dad doesn't like you. Your son's good, but he doesn't care about you. And, here I thought your life was better than mine."
