Chapter 1049: Liu Rulan’s Worries

"He should be jogging at this time."

Liu Rulan put down her coffee, nodded slightly to the people opposite her, and glanced at the time.

"They should be here by now."

Sure enough, a short while later, Xiao He appeared in the back courtyard, leading a majestic figure.

"Xiao He, he's looking for you."

Liu Rulan picked up her coffee and walked to the back door of the courtyard to remind Xiao He.

Xiao He, who was wiping Wei Feng's hair, paused and looked up in this direction.

Behind Liu Rulan, several people with ordinary demeanor but sharp eyes stood up from the sofa.

They were dressed plainly, with unremarkable appearances and nothing special about them. They simply nodded slightly at Xiao He from a distance, and with just that one glance, Xiao He was able to instantly sense the corresponding alarm from them.

They also realized their identities and intentions.

"Okay, I understand."

Xiao He walked straight into the courtyard and handed Weifeng's dog leash to Liu Rulan: "Please ask Sister Liu to take Weifeng back for a bath."

Liu Rulan nodded, casually put down her coffee cup, and didn't ask any questions about the purpose of these people's visit. She just glanced at Xiao He's clothes with a look of disdain, feeling a sense of helplessness every time she saw a child going out and rolling around with a dog: "Can you please stop coming back so dirty every time? If Weifeng likes to go swimming, there's a pool here for him. You can't just let him splash you with water every time!"

"Anyway, after running all that sweat, I'll still need to take a shower when I get back."

Xiao He was quite casual, waving his hand without any self-awareness as a big star.

Liu Rulan sighed, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with you."

Then he swaggered off to the other side.

Since the Prince's Mansion Garden was completed, Liu Rulan and the others have stayed here every time they return to the capital.

Of course, they didn't live in the same area as Xiao He's family, but in a separate building complex specifically for guests. However, there weren't many guests there, so Xiao He reserved separate rooms for each of his core team members who had been with him for years.

This makes it convenient for all of them to settle down in Beijing and also makes it easier for them to travel for work. After all, the team members who follow the artists all year round need to travel around with the artists frequently.

For Xiao He now, providing them with extra accommodations is no problem at all.

So when Xiao Chen first saw his little courtyard, his mouth almost dropped to the ground. And Lao Qi, who was usually calm and collected, was also stunned for the first time when he saw that the boss had left him such a courtyard.

Liu Rulan, however, chuckled and °• N ?? v ?? l i g h t •° calmly accepted the courtyard, saying, "Alright, we've all been with Xiao He for so long, there's no need to be so ignorant."

The naive Xiao Chen said, "...Sister Liu, I really have never seen anything like this before."

Old Qi, who was ignorant and naive, said, "Me too..."

Xiao He smiled frankly and said, "But I'm also ashamed to say that you've been following me around everywhere. You won't be staying in this house for very long, so you can come and stay here whenever you have a holiday. Jinhe Prince's Mansion is always open to everyone, no problem at all."

So Xiao Chen raised his hand: "Brother Xiao, when can we have a holiday?"

Xiao He is a very busy man these days.

"Hmm—"

At that moment, Xiao He rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful, and then smiled at Xiao Chen: "Perhaps it will be soon."

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen expressed his doubts, and Lao Qi also looked over with some curiosity. Only Liu Rulan frowned slightly, seemingly disapproving.

But Xiao He didn't explain anything at that time.

...

Let's go back to the present.

Liu Rulan led Weifeng slowly back.

However, her worries made her turn back to look at the back hall of the courtyard.

However, Xiao He and the others had already disappeared in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The woman pursed her lips and continued walking back with an air of authority.

"Sister Liu!"

Xiao Chen rode over on a balance bike on another road. As soon as he saw Wei Feng and Sister Liu, he knew immediately what they were going to do.

"Give Weifeng a bath? I'll do it!"

Wei Feng clearly had a good relationship with Xiao Chen, and immediately called out to him as a greeting.

"Okay, here you go."

Liu Rulan handed the dog leash to Xiao Chen, then stood there and sighed.

Xiao Chen slid around in place and then turned back, looking puzzled: "Sister Liu, why do you seem to be in a bad mood lately?"

"Hmm? Is there?"

Liu Rulan pondered.

"Has something happened to Brother Xiao?"

Xiao Chen asked, and even Wei Feng squatted down next to Liu Rulan, looking up at her.

In the past, whenever Xiao He had any problems, Liu Rulan, as Xiao He's agent, was absolutely confident in helping him handle all the issues he encountered.

But now... those issues are no longer limited to problems within the entertainment industry.

Xiao He didn't want them to worry, so he never said anything. Liu Rulan knew that asking wouldn't help Xiao He, so she could only keep quiet.

However, as a top agent who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, she often feels frustrated at certain moments.

Xiao He was a good person and trusted her a lot, so he entrusted her with making many of his decisions.

This immense trust remained unchanged even after Xiao He became famous, won numerous awards, and became a global sensation.

Countless people praised her for her keen eye for talent, living up to her reputation as a top agent, and once again elevating an artist to stardom. But Liu Rulan knew that a large part of the reason was Xiao He's own hard work.

Xiao He does indeed possess extraordinary learning talent in certain areas.

But he was never arrogant or perfunctory; he was always absolutely serious and focused on everything he did.

This applies to research, performance, learning, and all work.

However, because of this, when Xiao He achieved most of his success in the entertainment industry and began to develop his career in another field, Liu Rulan helplessly discovered that she could no longer help Xiao He much.

So even Liu Rulan would one day start to worry about whether she would fall behind the pace of the artists?

Liu Rulan found it somewhat amusing to think about it.

Looking at Xiao Chen and Wei Feng on the ground, she shrugged: "It's nothing, it's just that Xiao He seems to want to do more and more things."

"Isn't that great?" Xiao Chen's thoughts were simple, and she nodded. "Actually, I think Brother Xiao has already slowed down his work pace as much as possible this year, so it feels like he doesn't have that much work."

Silly child, this means that while work in the entertainment industry has slowed down, the workload on the other side has increased.

Liu Rulan didn't know what to say, so she could only continue to sigh: "And Xiao He doesn't plan to take us with him on his trip abroad in May."

Sure enough, these words immediately alerted Xiao Chen: "What?! Brother Xiao doesn't want us to come with him. He can't just go abroad by himself, can he?!"

"How can that be allowed?!"

He immediately became anxious.
