Di Chenxiao clutched the spot where he had been kicked, wincing in pain, looking somewhat helpless.

He had this strange feeling that Shi Xi was abusing him.

After Di Chenxiao took a shower and got into bed, Shi Xi slowly snuggled into his arms.

She poked Di Chenxiao's chest with her little hand and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm an adult now."

The hidden meaning is that he doesn't need to worry about anything.

Di Chenxiao held Shi Xi in his arms, suppressing the evil thoughts in his heart.

"sleep."

Shi Xi: "..."

I'm going to sleep now, that's all!

If she continues talking like this, will Di Chenxiao think she's lusting after his body?

When Di Chenxiao saw that the girl in his arms had finally calmed down, his agitated heart slowly calmed down.

Country X.

It was late at night, and Chong En was still awake.

In China, today is the Little New Year.

If his daughter were still alive, he would have children to keep him company; perhaps he would even have grandchildren.

A middle-aged man with an upright face walked up to Chong En, carrying a tray.

"Sir, it's late. Your health hasn't been good these past few years, you should get some rest!"

Chongen took the milk from the tray. "Ajiang, I miss Xiaoxi."

The middle-aged man's name was Kong Jiang, and he was Chong En's steward.

Kong Jiang sighed silently, "Sir, Miss has been gone for a long time, you should let it go now."

Over the years, the gentleman has never been happy, not even after adopting Chongshuang.

However, after our last trip to the desert island, my husband was in a good mood for several days after we returned.

It seems that it was because she met someone who looked like the young lady.

Chong En finished the milk in one gulp. “Ajiang, some pains don’t lessen with time; instead, they become stronger, like fermenting wine.”

Kong Jiang also didn't want to continue this sad topic.

"Xiao Chen has sent another New Year's gift. Shall we go take a look?"

"I threw it away."

“Sir, Xiao Chen always sends gifts to you during holidays. You’ve been angry with him for over a decade, it’s time to let it go. Xiao Chen is respected by everyone outside, but he has never put on airs in front of you.”

Miss's passing not only took away Mr.'s heart, but also Xiao Chen's.

One can imagine how much suffering Xiao Chen endured to avenge his mistress and become the god-like Master Chen after returning to China and spending five years doing so.

Chong En closed his eyes and said painfully, "I know Xiao Chen has had a hard time, I know his pain is no less than mine, but... he made me lose my daughter!"

"Sir, I'm sorry."

Chong En remained silent.

Kong Jiang felt a sharp pain in his heart. He would feel heartache whenever he thought of Xiao Xi's death, let alone the loss of his teacher and Xiao Chen.

“Xiao Chen’s people knew we would take action against the Shi family. He said he would handle the Shi family.”

Chong En's sharp eyes snapped open. "He's willing to lay a hand on his current sweetheart?"

Kong Jiang was curious about what kind of girl could make Xiao Chen's heart flutter.

"Sir, you... are happy for Xiao Chen that he has met someone he likes again, aren't you?"

Otherwise, why would the gentleman have arranged for Xiao Chen's people to discover the situation before his family members did?

Di Chenxiao's influence extends across the globe, but here, his people dare not extend their reach to Chong En.

The fact that Di Chenxiao's men were able to know immediately that Chong En was going to take action against the Shi family was also because Chong En wanted Di Chenxiao to know.

Chong En's demeanor changed drastically. "I want to see who he cares about more, my daughter or his current sweetheart?"
