Half an hour later, Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan returned.

Upon their return, the couple were immediately surrounded by four people and eight eyes staring at them, making them feel like they were a large bird out catching insects, with four baby birds waiting to be fed.

Xia Wenxi looked at the two of them with sparkling eyes: "Mom and Dad, what's going on over there?"

"You all knew?"

"Hehe." Xia Wenxi grinned. "I was the one who said it."

She quickly handed over the milk tea, "It's a pity it's only a little warm now, how about you pour it out and reheat it in the microwave?"

Ke Shurong waved her hand, "What's the heat? Just drink it like this. Let your dad speak first."

Ke Shurong was thirsty when she came back after walking for a long time, so she had to drink a couple of sips quickly.

Xia Hengyuan had to stop unpacking the milk tea halfway through.

"There's not much to say about it. It's just a woman with a child coming to find the father. It's that simple."

Upon hearing this, Ke Shurong glared at him, "How come you make something so boring?"

"It wasn't really that interesting to begin with."

Xia Wenxi looked at her mother again...

The story sounds so melodramatic, how could it not be interesting?

“Xiao Yan, the one who brought her child to find the father, told me that she didn’t know he was so rich when she was with him. She only found out the truth by chance later.”

Ke Shurong spoke gently and looked kind. She even offered to take her to find someone. Perhaps because she hadn't had anyone to confide in for so long, the girl told her everything.

"Why would a man lie to her? Is he afraid she's after his family fortune?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, the man later told her that he had broken with his family and ran away, so he really didn't have any money at first and wasn't lying to her. The two of them got back together."

At this point, Ke Shurong sighed.

"And then? Why are you looking for Dad now? Did you break up with him later?"

"The rest is the same old story. The man's family doesn't like ordinary girls. I heard there was a lot of trouble, but nothing came of it. He couldn't stand the hard life for long. He finally got back to a good life, but he was afraid that his parents would interfere and he would have to go back to hard life."

Of course, the breakup wasn't unilaterally decided by the man. It was just that their relationship and life were in crisis, and the girl felt that if she stubbornly refused to break up, she might be blamed by her lover in the countless ordinary days of daily life. So she thought it was better to break up.

“I think the young lady has thought things through quite clearly. The child wasn’t born by her alone, so why does she have to raise him alone? It’s good for them to come and take a look. You can’t turn down money.”

Everyone agreed with Xia Hengyuan's statement.

The two dropped the person off and returned. It was a family matter, and they felt awkward about going in to see what was going on.

Who lives next door?

The neighborhood is so big that you can hardly hear any noise or see any neighbors.

"I heard he was a businessman when I bought the house, but I don't know the specifics."

"Forget it, let's not talk about other people's business." Ke Shurong said with great emotion, "Our family is the best, you are all such good kids!"

None of them were young anymore, and being suddenly praised as "good kids" made them a little embarrassed.

"To be honest, when I first heard that a young girl had brought her child to the door looking for her father, I was really shocked! I thought she had done something bad outside."

Xia Wensheng, who had been sitting quietly listening to the commotion, retorted with dissatisfaction upon hearing this: "Mom, your suspicions are completely unreasonable. Don't you know who I am?"

"Besides, I'm not the only man in our family. Why don't you suspect my dad?"

The fire spread to Xia Hengyuan, who almost raised his hand to punch someone.

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll slap you. Of course your mom believes me.”

Ke Shurong chuckled, "Your dad's an old man, who's going to look for him?"

Xia Wenxi glanced at Xia Hengyuan and smiled, "To be fair, Dad is actually quite handsome. Even if he's an old man, he's still a handsome old man."

"Oh! Dad likes to hear that. If it weren't for the circumstances today, Dad would be even happier."

...

After dinner, Lin Shen was leaving. Ming Huan was staying here tonight, and they would go to the airport together tomorrow morning to pick up her parents.

Xia Wenxi held Lin Shen's hand and said goodbye before leaving, "Mom and Dad, I'll see him off and be right back."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

When they left, it was already completely dark outside. Once they were in the car, Lin Shen wouldn't let Xia Wenxi see them off any further.

"It's cold outside, you should go back inside."

Xia Wenxi sat in the passenger seat, tilted her head and asked him, "You want me to leave? I was planning to stay with you a little longer."

"If you stay a little longer, I'll really miss you." Lin Shen reached out and touched her hair. "Let's meet again next weekend..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Wenxi reached out and covered Lin Shen's mouth, "Shh! Don't you understand yet? You can't say things like that."

If we say we'll spend the weekend together next week, who knows what might suddenly happen?

"And have you forgotten that next weekend is Chinese New Year?"

Xia Wenxi said very cautiously, "Let's not plan ahead, let's talk about it when the time comes."

Lin Shen couldn't help but laugh at her serious "superstitious" appearance, and the breath he exhaled when he laughed made Xia Wenxi's palms itchy.

Just as she was about to pull her hand back, Lin Shen grabbed it and kissed her.

"I touched the little fish at home just now and didn't wash my hands."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen not only did not let go of his hand, but also grabbed it and gently bit it again.

"It's okay, I have a strong immune system."

What are you talking about... Xia Wenxi was amused by him.

"I was going to kiss you, but I guess I'll have to pass now. I guess my immune system isn't very strong."

After Xia Wenxi finished speaking, she quickly touched Lin Shen's cheek, then swiftly opened the car door and got out.

Lin Shen only drove away after he saw her figure enter the house and disappear from sight.

On Saturday morning, the Xia family was all ready to go to the airport to welcome their future in-laws. Minghuan's parents took an early morning flight and landed around 8 a.m.

Since retiring, Xia Hengyuan has always dressed very simply. Today, he rarely took out his suit, which he hadn't worn in a long time, and his hair was styled neatly.

Xia Wensheng laughed when he saw his father like this and asked him, "Dad, you're dressed so formally now, what will you be dressed for when I get married?"

"Your dad went for a beauty treatment two weeks before your wedding."

"Then I'd better get married soon, otherwise if my dad gets a few more wrinkles, even cosmetic surgery won't be able to fix it."

Upon hearing this, Xia Hengyuan raised his hand and slapped his unfilial son's arm.

Xia Wenxi and Ke Shurong watched the excitement, while Ming Huan blushed and smiled.
