See you tomorrow, though perhaps we'll never see each other again.

Xie Xiaodong watched Shen Huai'an get into the car. At that moment, he felt a little complicated. If the other party hadn't given him everything he wanted, perhaps he and Shen Huai'an could really have been best friends.

Shen Huai'an glanced at him one last time through the car window, and Zheng Hu then started the car.

The car had been tampered with; there was only one road leading to the city.

"Shen Er, I'm really sorry," Xie Xiaodong murmured to himself as he watched the car disappear around the corner.

He never regretted doing any of this. He never had any absolute friends. After meeting Shen Huai'an, he received a lot of help through his connections and also met many other people. Although he was grateful to Shen Huai'an, it was not enough for him to give up what he longed for.

Shen Huai'an sat calmly in the car. Zheng Hu was driving, and Assistant Qin turned around to ask where they were going, but Shen Huai'an answered him beforehand. "Just keep driving straight ahead. We don't need to go back to the city. It's good to enjoy the scenery around here."

"What do you think of Xie Xiaodong?" Shen Huai'an suddenly asked the two people in front of him.

"Manager Xie is very good. He is always very serious and hardworking, and he is very capable. I have read the project proposal he made for the new urban area, and his ability is outstanding. However, I heard that he used to work at the Prestige Group, so he should be quite good."

This is Qin Junming's overall impression of Xie Xiaodong. They haven't had much contact and have no relationship, so he can't make much of an evaluation of him yet.

However, in Qin Junming's eyes, Xie Xiaodong was still quite good. He was kind and never put on airs when dealing with employees and subordinates, making him a very approachable leader.

"And Zheng Hu, what about you?"

Shen Huai'an then asked Zheng Hu, who had been silent all along. Zheng Hu placed his hands on the steering wheel, his fierce eyes fixed on the road ahead. After thinking for a moment, Zheng Hu said seriously, "I don't know. I'm not familiar with him."

Qin Junming looked at Zheng Hu, who was focused on driving, and thought about it. Indeed, although Zheng Hu had always been with President Shen, he had very few opportunities to get in touch with Xie Xiaodong.

"So, Mr. Shen, what do you think of Manager Xie?" Qin Junming turned around curiously and asked Shen Huai'an with a smile. He added, "I heard from my brother that you and Manager Xie knew each other when you were young and were very good friends."

"However, my brother is a bit petty. I don't know what Manager Xie did to offend him, but he has always disliked Manager Xie. Last time I told him that Manager Xie had burned his hand, and when my brother heard that, he looked as happy as if he had heard some great news."

In short, Qin Zhihao disliked Xie Xiaodong from the bottom of his heart.

Shen Huai'an didn't expect Qin Zhihao to dislike Xie Xiaodong so much. She used to play with Xie Xiaodong often, but Qin Zhihao hated Xie Xiaodong back then and wouldn't allow her to play with him. Qin Zhihao had cursed her behind her back for this.

"President Shen, do you and Manager Xie have a good relationship?"

Shen Huai'an did not answer his question, but instead looked out the window at the scenery. They drove along the river, and all they could see was greenery. The car window slowly rolled down, and Shen Huai'an saw several people washing clothes near the river.

Shen Huai'an took out his phone, took a picture, and sent it to Xingxing.

"What do you think of this place? Let's come here to play next time."

Upon seeing the scenery here, Shen Huai'an immediately thought of the stars.

Xingxing had been glued to his phone, extremely worried about Shen Huai'an. Seeing the photo Shen Huai'an sent him brought him a sense of relief.

Shen Huai'an felt that he should spend more time with Xingxing, as this would help strengthen the bond between the couple.

Their car drove around the river before finally stopping in an open area.

Night fell quickly, followed by a cold wind carrying the fragrance of earth.

It will rain tonight and for the next two days.

A light rain began to fall, forming streams of water that flowed down the car windows.

The temperature had gotten a bit cold, and Shen Huai'an felt stuffy in the small car, so he went outside.

Assistant Qin held a black umbrella for him. Shen Huai'an stood in the rain, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. The flame of the lighter flickered slightly in the wind. His black suit almost blended into the night. The light of the flame briefly illuminated his profile. The car headlights flashed.

Shen Huai'an was very tall, and Qin Junming always deliberately raised his arm to hold the umbrella for him.

Shen Huai stood quietly under the umbrella, listening to the muffled sound of raindrops falling on it. He tilted his head, stood there upright, and casually smoked.

He always maintained that air of extravagance deep down.

"Mr. Shen, the car has suddenly broken down, and we estimate we'll have to wait a long time."

Zheng Hu is already making phone calls, and it will take at least two hours for someone to arrive.

"It's okay, maybe the car will be fine after a while."

As soon as Shen Huai'an finished speaking, Zheng Hu started the car.

After finishing his cigarette, Shen Huai'an slowly got into the car.

On the other side, Lin Wanxing was so worried that he couldn't even finish his meal. He saw that it was raining outside and became concerned about his second brother.

He paced back and forth in front of the French windows, phone in hand, wondering if his second brother's legs were hurting and why he hadn't come back yet, so late.

It's been a long time since my second brother sent the photos, and the rain is getting heavier and shows no sign of stopping.

Lin Wanxing was extremely worried, so he quickly grabbed his phone and called Shen Huai'an.

Shim Tae-min calling his second brother over today is definitely not a good thing. Why hasn't he come home for so long? Could it be...?

Just as Lin Wanxing was about to come up with something, he quickly shook his head to shake that terrible thought out of his mind.

You can't let your mind wander; you can't let your mind wander at this time.

The call connected quickly. "Xingxing, what's wrong?" The voice on the other end of the line had an indescribable strangeness. Although it was the same gentle tone and deep voice as always, Lin Wanxing still felt that something was not right.

"Second brother, when are you coming home?"

Shen Huai'an replied with a smile, "I'll be back soon, you wait for me obediently."

"If you're too tired, just go to sleep."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wanxing obediently climbed into his bed. He hugged his teddy bear, yawned, and lay down on the soft bed to start talking to the sheep.

At night, the landline phone at home suddenly started ringing incessantly.

When Butler Chen received the call, his expression changed, but he quickly calmed down.

He rushed upstairs and knocked on Lin Wanxing's door.

Lin Wanxing's phone kept ringing, and the knocking and ringing woke her up completely.

"Wanxing, something's happened to the master. He's in the hospital right now. The Shen family is all there. Wanxing, let's hurry!" Butler Chen shouted through the door.

Lin Wanxing sat up in bed instantly and ran out in his pajamas.
