“Yuanyuan, why are you back?” Father Xia was playing with the child in the cradle with the turning drum in his hand. It was very strange to see Han Yuan return. Didn’t she always take a day to come back every time she went out with those sisters?
“I didn’t want to eat anymore, so I came back.” Han Yuan sat on the sofa and brushed her hair. “I heard something. Your daughter has become a professor at Qing University.”
“Professor at Qing University? How is that possible?” Father Xia didn’t believe it at all.
“Forget it if you don’t believe me. Go and watch the news yourself. Your daughter really knows how to package herself. She even dares to buy the title of the great professor.” Thinking of Xia Wanyuan taking the company for herself, Han Yuan was furious.
After a while, Father Xia did not speak. Han Yuan found it strange and looked at Father Xia. She saw that his eyes were fixed on her wrist.
Han Yuan cursed in her heart. She was in a hurry to come back and had forgotten to take off the bracelet on her hand.
“Who bought you this bracelet?” Father Xia’s voice sank. Although he did not pay attention to fashion entertainment, the bracelet on Han Yuan’s hand was of good quality and exquisite workmanship. It was obvious that it would cost a lot of money.
He was staying at home for work and had to save up money for the child. How could he have the money to buy a bracelet for Han Yuan?
“My friend gave it to me as a birthday gift.” At first, she was quite flustered. However, on second thought, Xia Yuanqing was not the company’s chairman anymore, so why should she be afraid of him? “What’s wrong? You can’t afford it and you’re not allowing my friend to give me a gift?”
“Male or female?”
“Of course it’s a woman. Xia Yuanqing, are you crazy? I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore.” Panic flashed across Han Yuan’s eyes. She forced herself to be calm and walked upstairs.
Xia Yuanqing looked at her back and then at the infant. He sighed heavily. “I brought this upon myself.”

“Are you really not going back to visit your sister?”
The helicopter’s rotor wings brought up huge waves, making people’s clothes flutter.
Xia Yu stopped in his tracks and turned around. His exquisite face had become thinner, but there was a hint of hardness in it.
“Help me tell my sister that I’ll go back and visit her when I finish this mission.”
Xia Yu wanted to go back too, but he didn’t want to go back and find Xia Wanyuan before he achieved anything.
Coincidentally, the higher-ups had given him an A-rank mission this time. He volunteered to accept it. He had been training in the mountains for the past few days. This was the first time he had gone out to participate in a training mission, and Xia Yu felt a little expectant and uneasy.
“Okay, I’ll tell her. Take care.” Seeing how determined Xia Yu was, Bo Xiao couldn’t help but think of the first time he saw him.
At that time, he was still insufferably arrogant. The little boy who had pressed his opponent to the ground repeatedly and finally forced him to quit the game had gradually grown into a man who could take charge alone.
Xia Yu stood up and bowed to Bo Xiao. Bo Xiao’s expression turned serious and he bowed back.
Then, Xia Yu got into the helicopter without looking back.

When Xia Wanyuan woke up, it was already three in the afternoon.
Jun Shiling had been accompanying her on the sofa. Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was awake, he patted her back. “Do you want to sleep again?”
Xia Wanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly and approached Jun Shiling again. Jun Shiling smiled and wrapped her in a blanket, placing her on his lap. “Alright, there’s no need to move. I’ll let you hug me.”
Jun Shiling also realized that Xia Wanyuan seemed to like sticking to him more and more recently.
Jun Shiling naturally understood what this meant, but not only did he not feel that Xia Wanyuan disturbed him like this, he even wished that Xia Wanyuan would do this every day.
Xia Wanyuan yawned, her eyes watery. She leaned into Jun Shiling’s arms. “I’m thirsty.”
Jun Shiling put down the things in his hand, poured a cup of warm water, and handed it to Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan drank it in a few mouthfuls and leaned back on Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling simply liked Xia Wanyuan’s lazy appearance. He lowered his head and kissed her. The afternoon sun shone diagonally into the room, casting a gentle light on the two people hugging on the sofa.
The anger of the domestic netizens was quelled by Xia Wanyuan’s interview program. However, due to the asymmetry of information, there was still a sea of criticism on the foreign Internet..
