Li Shaozhong sat opposite Ye Shuning in the conference room. He always stole a glance at Ye Shuning while others were talking, and he didn't dare let others find out.

The more he looked at Li Shaozhong, the more reluctant he felt to leave. In a few days, they would be separated, and it would be even more difficult to see each other again. They could have been a happy couple, but they were separated by fate and could not be together openly. Li Shaozhong hated those who had been plotting against him.

Around noon, Fang Yi entered the office and said, "Old Ye, Li Shaozhong and the others have finished their discussion. I think they've left the conference room. They might have to go to lunch with the Ling family, so I guess they won't have time to talk to you."

When Ye Xingguo heard this, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go say hello to him and leave."

Ye Xingguo walked out of Fang Yi's office and headed towards the conference room, where he happened to meet Li Shaozhong and others.

Ye Xingguo's sharp eyes spotted his daughter walking behind the crowd at a glance. Even though his daughter deliberately dressed herself up to look much older, how could Ye Xingguo not recognize his daughter?

Ye Xingguo clenched his fists to avoid losing his composure, but he didn't go up to greet Li Shaozhong. He also saw Ling Xuan, and when he saw Ling Xuan's eyes widen, he shook his head subtly.

Ling Xuan quickly lowered his head to hide his gaffe.

Ye Shuning, who was walking behind, of course also saw her father. She was of course very excited, but even though her relative was right in front of her, she could not recognize him and could not express anything.

Li Shaozhong also saw his father-in-law. He said to his colleague next to him, "I'm going to the bathroom. I'll find you guys later."

Ling Xuan also said cleverly: "Dad, I want to go to the bathroom too."

Ling Qisheng said: "Then we will wait for you downstairs."

People from the Foreign Trade Bureau will invite them to have lunch at a state-owned restaurant at noon today.

Li Shaozhong and Ling Xuan went to the bathroom together. Ye Xingguo glanced at his daughter twice without leaving any trace. When his daughter winked at him, the corner of his mouth curled up and he walked past her and went to the bathroom.

In just a few minutes, a lot of information can be conveyed.

Ye Xingguo felt relieved when he saw that his daughter was safe and sound.

Ye Xingguo came to the bathroom. Li Shaozhong had already checked that no one else was in the bathroom before he dared to speak. "Uncle Ye, come to my house later and I'll give you the key. I'll come back to see you in the evening."

Ye Xingguo understood Li Shaozhong's hint, nodded, and took the key handed over by Li Shaozhong.

Ling Xuan whispered beside him, "Uncle Ye, Sister Xiao Ning is fine, don't worry."

Ye Xingguo patted Ling Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Thank you. You guys go quickly."

The three of them didn't stay, said a few words and then parted ways.

Ye Xingguo drove to Li Shaozhong's residence.

The afternoon is the time for Ling Qisheng and the others to rest and they can move around freely. They will continue the discussion tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Ling Xuan came to Ye Shuning's room, "Sister Xiao Ning, I told Uncle Ye that you are fine, please rest assured."

Ye Shuning was very excited to see her father today. "I made the right decision to return to the mainland this time. Not only did I meet Third Brother Li, but I also met my father. Now we can both rest assured. I have to thank you and Uncle Ling."

Ling Xuan was also very happy to be able to help Sister Xiao Ning. He waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. We are even happier to be able to help you."

Ye Shuning felt that her father would definitely come to see her in the evening, so she had to take some time to rest.

After get off work in the evening, Li Shaozhong rode his bicycle home quickly. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father-in-law serving dishes to the table.

Ye Xingguo saw his son-in-law coming back and said, "You're back. Come sit down and have dinner."

Li Shaozhong washed his hands and sat at the dinner table. He looked at his father-in-law who looked calm and composed and said, "Uncle Ye, why don't you ask about Xiao Ning?"

Ye Xingguo, knowing his daughter was safe, was no longer anxious. Seeing his son-in-law eager to talk and share, he said, "If I don't ask, you won't tell me?"

Li Shaozhong's usually stern face was now full of smiles, and he chuckled, "Of course I have to tell you. I'm looking for someone to share this with. Uncle Ye, do you want to drink? I have some wine here."

Ye Xingguo shook his head and said, "I'm going to see my daughter tonight, how can I drink?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shaozhong quickly said, "Then can I go with you?"

Ye Xingguo raised his eyes and looked at Li Shaozhong, "Didn't you climb up my daughter's window yesterday?"

Li Shaozhong's face flushed after hearing what his father-in-law said. His usually cold and pale cheeks looked a lot rosier, and his whole spirit became different.

He chuckled and said, "I went to see Xiao Ning last night. She's doing well in Nangang now. Jing Yu is with her too."

Afterwards, Li Shaozhong repeated what Ye Shuning had said to his father-in-law.

Ye Xingguo nodded as he listened, inwardly admiring his daughter for not wasting any time, earning money and going to school at the same time. He estimated that by the time the reform and opening up came, his daughter would have become a wealthy woman.

But he knew his daughter well. Her ultimate focus would definitely be returning to the mainland, where they could research with greater confidence. After all, Nangang was still under foreign management.

Ye Xingguo said, "Tell me Xiao Ning's room number. I'll go see her tonight, so you don't have to go. You already went there yesterday. Let's talk, father and daughter."

When Li Shaozhong heard that his father-in-law stopped him from meeting his young fiancée, he was unhappy but he did not dare to resist, because he was his father-in-law after all.

Ye Xingguo had a lot to say to his daughter, some of which Li Shaozhong couldn't hear, so he couldn't let Li Shaozhong follow him. Besides, the two of them would be easily discovered if they were together.

Li Shaozhong said, "Uncle Ye, Xiao Ning lives on the second floor. Is it okay for you to go up there?"

Ye Xingguo rolled his eyes at Li Shaozhong and said, "If you can even get up there, then am I not as good as you? Then I might as well go home and farm."

Li Shaozhong touched his nose when he heard this. Well, he had walked into trouble. He was indeed suspected of saying that his father-in-law was not good at fighting. He had to be careful in the future.

After dinner, the father-in-law and son-in-law talked a lot, all about Ye Shuning.

Ye Xingguo waited patiently until midnight before riding his bicycle to the hotel where Ye Shuning was staying. Li Shaozhong, realizing that his father-in-law really wasn't going to take him, had no choice but to stay home, hoping that he would have a chance to see his young fiancée tomorrow night.

Ye Shuning was on high alert after ten o'clock, listening for any noise so she could open the window for her father.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Ye Shuning finally heard the sound of a gentle knock on the window. Ye Shuning quickly pulled open the curtains and immediately saw her father outside the window. She quickly opened the screen window to let her father in.

Ye Xingguo jumped into the house nimbly, turned around to close the windows and draw the curtains.

When Ye Shuning saw her father turn around, she immediately threw herself into his arms, "Dad, I miss you so much."
