In the morning, a flight landed at Kyushu Airport. A man in a black overcoat stood tall and walked with a steady gait, with a secretary pushing his luggage behind him.

Tan Yuchen waved from outside the arrival gate, a smile spreading across his usually nonchalant face.

When the two brothers met, they naturally hugged and exchanged pleasantries.

"After not seeing you for half a year, my brother looks even younger than before, and he's as handsome as a mixed-race person."

"Come on, you come up with all sorts of excuses every year to trick me into helping you manage the group. If I didn't travel all over the country and abroad like this, I would be at least ten years younger. You, on the other hand, live a comfortable life and haven't changed at all since you were a kid."

The old man made a will early on and groomed Tan Yuchen as his successor from a young age. However, the boy was very clever and insisted on taking him along for all the courses and training, saying that it was a test that the old man was testing him in private.

Tan Yuchen clicked his tongue.

"What do you mean by lying? Without my botched scheme, would you have met your wife? Would you have such a cute son as Xuanxuan?"

Unable to win an argument with him, Tan Yuhuai said, "Your nephew is almost old enough to run errands, while someone else is still all alone. It's time to reflect on yourself."

In the past, when these issues were discussed, Tan Yuchen would definitely crack jokes, but who would have thought he would casually reply with a nonchalant remark.

"We're chasing it, what's the rush?"

Tan Yuhuai: "Are you serious, kid?"

He laughed smugly, but refused to utter another word.

Jiang Zhou, who was standing next to him, addressed him as "Young Master".

Tan Yuhuai was puzzled, "Jiang Zhou, you're still following him? I thought you'd been fooled by him long ago."

Jiang Zhou laughed: "That's all thanks to my good fortune and long life."

Tan Yuchen glanced at them and said, "This is how you two have ruined my reputation."

Once we exited the airport, the car was parked outside.

After getting on the bus, we caught up with our brothers who hadn't seen each other for six months, and then I gave him a lesson.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father. Tan Yuhuai and Zhou Congjin are the same kind of people. You have to keep his lawless nature in check from time to time. You can keep the old lady in the dark about him secretly killing Tan Jing, but you can't keep it from him.

Tired of hearing it so often, Tan Yuchen casually changed the subject, asking, "Does Brother have other official business on this trip back?"

"I have a game of ball with Mr. Zhou from Songhe Medical this afternoon to discuss integration."

Tan Yuchen's eyebrows twitched.

Songhe is under the Xu family's control. This Mr. Zhou is the head of Songhe Medical, but when it comes to important matters, the Xu family has to step in.

"This is something that Xu Yanzhi shouldn't be discussing with you face to face."

"He called last night to apologize, and he is currently unwell."

Are you sick?

Tan Yuchen remained leaning back in his chair, sunlight streaming through the glass, sweeping across his languid eyebrows, his nose, and his lips.

If Jiang Zhou hadn't been so used to following his orders and had such a tacit understanding, the man's glance from the rearview mirror would have been immediately noticed by Jiang Zhou, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

Tan Yuchen casually asked, "Has she asked you to do anything else these past two days?"

Not yet.

Jiang Zhou no longer needed to ask who "she" was. As soon as he finished speaking, he could sense that her expression was somewhat displeased.

A man's paranoia.

Tan Yuchen took out his phone and dialed her number. The continuous vibrations pulled Meng Jiuyi back from her sleep.

The curtains were drawn tightly, so she couldn't see what time it was. She thought she was dreaming and continued to sleep, but the ringing phone kept ringing like a ghost, and it wouldn't stop unless she answered it.

Meng Jiuyi answered it in a daze.

"...Who is it...?"

She scratched her head, still grumpy from waking up, and her resentment naturally surfaced. Tan Yuchen immediately lost all his temper and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"What did we say last time? It's been almost a week now. When is President Meng coming to report to me on the progress?"

Tan Yuhuai, who was standing next to him, gave him a strange look.

I didn't believe it when I first heard he was pursuing someone. It's true what they say, men who have been single for a long time just lose face when they're in a relationship.

"...ill."

Meng Jiuyi was already about to curse, "Are you out of your mind? Can't you let people sleep in the early morning?"

He laughed instead of laughing after being scolded.

"What would you like to eat for breakfast? I'll bring it to you on my way."

"I want to eat sticky rice chicken..."

Meng Jiuyi thought she was still in the rented room and naturally recited the names of the dishes, but then she remembered something and suddenly opened her eyes.

She's at Xu Yan's house!

The man was upstairs.

She immediately sat up in bed and changed her mind: "No need, I've already eaten."

His tone was completely different from before.

Tan Yuchen asked, "Didn't you just say you were sleeping?"

Meng Jiuyi remained calm and composed, saying, "I just ate and then went back to sleep. If you don't have anything else to do—"

At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"Are you awake?"

The man's tone was calm and gentle, each word powerful and highly distinctive.

Tan Yuchen naturally heard this, and his eyes quickly cooled down.

"Were you with him last night?"

Xu Yanzhi was still waiting outside the door. Meng Jiuyi quickly covered the receiver and changed the subject, saying, "The signal isn't very good here. Let's talk when we get back."

Also, "Ha".

Tan Yuchen: "...You dare to hang it up and see what happens—"

He's so far away from her, it's no wonder Meng Jiuyi would be threatened by him.

She hung up before she could finish speaking, and a long, drawn-out dial tone came from the receiver. Tan Yuchen was so angry that he burst out laughing.
