Chen Ningsheng frowned slightly, his gaze shifting to the place where they had met Li Xueyan and her father yesterday. He vaguely understood what Xu Xinchen wanted to do, and nodded: "Her father's name is Li Tengbo."

“Li Tengbo? That name does sound a bit like your father’s.” Xu Xinchen smiled slightly.

"Maybe it's because they're from the same generation. People from that era probably all had names in this style." Chen Ningsheng shrugged indifferently. There are plenty of people who use the character "Bo." His father isn't the only one, nor will he be the last.

Xu Xinchen smiled and said to him, "Okay, let's go ask her which room she's in now."

Chen Ningsheng raised an eyebrow, not at all surprised; he had guessed correctly.

Xu Xinchen suddenly asked Li Xueyan what her father's name was, because she wanted to find him. But what did she want to say to him?

"Are you planning to go see him? Do you want to say something to him?"

Xu Xinchen nodded, a slight smile on her face: "I want to tell him to stop trying to take advantage of you. You're mine now. Tell him to take his daughter home and stop coming to me every day to act crazy."

"What does it mean that Li Xueyan is acting crazy in front of you? Did she go over there to look for you today?" Chen Ningsheng's face darkened, and he glared fiercely at the place where he had seen Li Xueyan and her father yesterday.

Then, looking at Xu Xinchen with concern, he asked, "How are you? Did she bully you or say anything to you?"

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Xu Xinchen felt a warm glow in her heart. Seeing how concerned Chen Ningsheng was about her, she felt as if her heart was being soaked in honey, incredibly sweet.

"I'm fine. She did come to my company today, but she didn't get anything out of it. On the contrary, she got really angry with me."

As Xu Xinchen spoke, she recounted to Chen Ningsheng everything that had happened since Li Xueyan came to see her that day.

After listening to Xu Xinchen's explanation, Chen Ningsheng's gloomy expression finally dissipated a little: "It's good that you're alright. As for her being scolded, she deserved it. Don't think about it too much."

"I know I didn't think that much about it. She's not worth my time at all." Xu Xinchen smiled sweetly: "The person I really care about is you."

"I hope I can make her father understand that you already have me by your side, and no matter how much he and his daughter scheme, it won't have anything to do with you. Let them stop trying to take advantage of you and find another sucker instead."

"A sucker?" Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's description, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What's wrong? What did I say wrong? Aren't they just trying to find a sucker for their own family?" Xu Xinchen snorted coldly, a hint of disdain on her face.

"It's clearly their own fault. They're probably unwilling to honestly and practically improve their situation, instead thinking about how to swindle money from other wealthy people. It's not that I look down on them, it's their own behavior..."

I never intended for others to respect me.

"Yes, yes, you're right." Chen Ningsheng suppressed a laugh as he reached out and put his arm around Xu Xinchen's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

“You know what kind of dirty things they do, so don’t be angry with them, okay? Relax, I’ll take you to see her father so you can declare your ownership of me, okay?”

Xu Xinchen crossed her arms, raised her head, and adopted a haughty demeanor: "Fine, then I'll reluctantly let it go."

As she spoke, Xu Xinchen reached out to take Chen Ningsheng's hand, intending to lead him towards the service desk. However, before she could walk far with Chen Ningsheng, he suddenly pulled her to a stop with a strong tug.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you going anymore?" Xu Xinchen turned around and looked at Chen Ningsheng with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Chen Ningsheng had suddenly stopped her.

"Where do you want to go? Li Tengbo's ward isn't this way; this is the direction to leave the hospital." Chen Ningsheng raised his eyebrows, looking at Xu Xinchen with a similarly confused expression.

Xu Xinchen frowned deeply: "I want to go to the front desk to ask which room Li Tengbo is in, otherwise how are we going to get there?"

With a smile, Chen Ningsheng pointed in a direction: "No need to ask, I know where Li Tengbo's ward is. Come with me."

Since seeing Li Tengbo and Li Xueyan at the hospital yesterday, he had already gone back to investigate what was going on with Li Tengbo, so he didn't need to ask at the front desk; he already knew which room Li Tengbo was in.

Xu Xinchen was surprised that Chen Ningsheng had even found out which ward the other person was in, and her expression immediately relaxed: "You should have said so earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you on this long journey for nothing."

Chen Ningsheng raised his eyebrows, looked at his current location, and then looked at the location he had just been in. His face was full of disbelief. Is such a short distance really that far?

Xu Xinchen clearly saw what Chen Ningsheng was thinking. She awkwardly touched her nose, a blush rising to her face. She clenched her fist and reached out to punch Chen Ningsheng's arm.

"Are you still looking? What's so interesting? Let's hurry over, or it'll get dark soon."

As she spoke, Xu Xinchen looked at Chen Ningsheng with a very disapproving expression: "Although you have already left work, don't forget that Uncle Ma has not yet left work. If you don't go out soon, he will be home very late."

Chen Ningsheng felt somewhat helpless. It wasn't him who had been stalling for time, but what could he do? Since his wife had already said so, he could only nod resignedly and take a step forward.

"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong. Then come with me. I'll take you to see Li Tengbo. But you should be prepared. Li Tengbo is ruthless, but also quite brainless. He only speaks for the sake of speaking. When he sees you, he probably won't have anything nice to say."

Chen Ningsheng said this to prepare Xin Chenchen mentally, so that she wouldn't be provoked later.
