Ning Yan stayed at home for a month, and when she left, her mother had recovered.

She invited the two men to live with her in Beijing, but they both refused, saying, "We're used to our jobs here, and our friends are all here. We definitely wouldn't be used to living in a different place."

"We wouldn't be able to help you much even if we went to Beijing, so we won't go for now."

If her daughter has a child, she will definitely quit her job immediately to go and help take care of the child.

"I can support you all now, and I don't need you to work."

She had already opened a bank account for each of the elderly couple, with one million yuan deposited in each account.

That's definitely enough for my allowance.

But even after all this time, they haven't spent a single penny.

Ning's mother: "You should leave now. We'll definitely let you support us when we can't work anymore. We don't need you to support us now."

...

Ning Yan flew back to Beijing that day, and as soon as she got off the plane, she saw someone's car parked outside.

The driver took the small box from her and put it in the trunk, and Ning Yan got into the car.

Before she could even sit down, she was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Weren't you saying you'd be very busy these days? How come you have time to pick me up?"

Xia Linfan: What else could it be? Of course, it's missing her.

The domineering CEO pulls the person onto his lap and delivers a breathtaking kiss.

Soon, Ning Yan was breathless, her heart pounding wildly. Unable to resist, Ning Yan reached her hand inside the man's shirt.

"Bear with it for a moment, I'll get it for you when I get back..."

Ning Yan quickly shut him up, as if she were in a great hurry.

But he couldn't bear to take his hand out.

Back at the villa, both of their clothes were somewhat disheveled. Xia Linfan pulled the person back to the room in a hurry, and as soon as the door closed, he pinned the person against the door.

"Yanyan, I miss you." I miss you so much.

"Don't we call and video chat every day?"

Xia Linfan's eyes darkened. There were indeed videos every day, but watching videos and touching the person were completely different experiences. Only when he held the person in his arms did he feel that it was real.

Ning Yan's clothes were stripped off. Seeing his eagerness, Ning Yan kicked him and said, "I want to take a shower."

"You smell nice, I'll wash you later."

...

After more than a month of separation, Xia Linfan became a bit clingy. In the two days before the start of the semester, he didn't go to work and just stayed at the villa with Ning Yan.

It wasn't until she started school that the two resumed their previous routine, meeting on weekends, occasionally going on dates, eating out, and sometimes going on trips. They lived a fairly comfortable life.

As for Xia Chu, that kid was really pulled into the company by his uncle. There was nothing he could do; after all, he had a girlfriend.

If he didn't want his future in-laws to look down on him, then he had no choice but to work hard, because he was somewhat willing to work this lousy job.

Occasionally, Ning Yan would have a meal with him. After Xia Chu learned about her relationship with his uncle, he often complained about his uncle in front of her, saying things like "an old cow eating young grass" and "she was deceived by an old man." Ning Yan listened to it all with a smile.

Just when Ning Yan thought her life was over, she received an unexpected phone call the day after graduating with her master's degree.

"I am Lin Fan's father. Miss Ning, would it be convenient for us to meet?"

Ning Yan wondered if it was finally her turn to enjoy the scene of throwing around checks?

"Leave my son, and I'll give you ten million. You're just an ordinary girl from a small city; you're not good enough for my son."

So, when the time comes, will she accept the ten million or not?

Want it? Too little.

Don't want it? What if they won't give me a single cent?

...

An hour later, the two met at a teahouse.

Grandpa Xia arrived quickly.

The man, who was in his seventies, still looked very energetic. Although he used a cane, he had no problems at all and walked quite steadily.

"Mr. Xia".

Grandpa Xia glanced at Ning Yan. No wonder his grandson said that the person his son had taken a liking to was exceptionally beautiful; she truly was.

"Please have a seat, Miss Ning."

The two sat down opposite each other, and Old Master Xia began to talk about his son, "I only had two children in my life. My eldest son and his wife were in a car accident when they were young, leaving Xia Chu behind."

Fortunately, Lin Fan was outstanding and took over the Xia family business after coming of age.

I originally intended for him to marry into an arranged marriage.

Ning Yan nodded: "I understand. A family like the Xia family should find a suitable match so that the Xia family can develop better and better."

So let's get to the point.

"But he kept disagreeing, and his attitude was so firm that I thought he didn't like women anymore."

Ning Yan: Why do I feel like laughing?

"I only found out recently that he had someone else in his life."

After he finished speaking, the old man reached out his hand, and his assistant immediately handed him a check with the amount already filled in.

Ning Yan glanced at it and was surprised that the old man was so generous, giving her a full 100 million!

She immediately smiled brightly, "Mr. Xia, don't worry, I understand what you mean. I will definitely not fail to do my job after taking your money. Just you wait and see."

Ning Yan put the check in her bag and stood up to say goodbye. "Mr. Xia, I suddenly remembered I have something to take care of, so I'll have to go now. Goodbye."

We need to cash the check immediately; even a hundred million is still a lot of money.

Ning Yan left with her bag on her back.

Mr. Xia gestured with his hand, "He hasn't finished speaking yet, little girl, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

...

That evening, Xia Linfan returned home and discovered that all of Ning Yan's belongings had disappeared.

The car isn't there, and I can't get through on the phone.

He began frantically searching for people.

Finally, the call reached Grandpa Xia. "Dad, what exactly did you say to her? Why has she disappeared?"

Grandpa Xia: "What could I say? I just mentioned how you used to be so stubborn about not wanting to find a girlfriend or get married, and I even gave her a check as a meeting gift. She was quite happy and left with the check." She left in a very hurry!

Xia Linfan always felt that what the old man said was unreliable, so she simply contacted the old man's assistant. After finding out where they met, she pulled up the video from that time and found out the route her car took.

He quickly realized what was happening.

This girl probably thought the old man was trying to get rid of her with a check.

A man who was usually calm and collected suddenly slammed his fist against the wall in anger, and blood visibly flowed from his fist.

"President, you're injured. I'll go get the first-aid kit."

"No need. Go and check Ning Yan's whereabouts immediately, and see where she went."

The sensible assistant was no longer worried about the president's injury. Now it was clear that compared to those mere superficial wounds, Miss Ning's injury was far more important.

Xia Linfan then dialed the Ning family's number.

He now desperately hopes that Ning Yan has gone back to her hometown.

However, his hopes were dashed.

The assistant discovered that Ning Yan had booked a flight to Country F as early as 3 PM. The plane took off at 5:20 PM and landed at the airport 12 hours later.

They should still be on the plane right now.

The next day, after getting off the plane, Ning Yan found a five-star hotel and slept like a log. Once she adjusted to the time difference and had a good meal, she began strolling the streets of France. (End of Chapter)
