"No. The last commission I took before returning to China was designing a garden hotel. I submitted the proposal, and they were very satisfied and paid me promptly. But then, apparently due to an approval issue, construction was delayed. It only started recently, and then I discovered that the proposal didn't match the actual situation, so I had to go in person to coordinate with the construction company." Xia Xi explained in detail. "As the saying goes, you get paid for your work. Since I took the money, I have to do a great job."
Xu Yanfeng didn't speak for a long time.
He had gotten used to seeing her every day, so when he suddenly heard that she was going abroad for a week, he felt a little disappointed and couldn't quite let go.
"Oh, right." Xia Xi pointed at Ziheng outside the door, "Look after the child while I'm away. If that doesn't work, send him to my mother's place. Youyou's been living there lately, so it would be nice for Ziheng to go over too."
"Ziheng, come here." Xu Yanfeng waved outside.
Hearing Xu Yanfeng calling him, Ziheng hesitated for a moment, put down the Huarong Dao game he was playing, and ran over.
Xu Yanfeng told him that Xia Xi was going on a business trip. To reassure Xia Xi, he asked Ziheng in front of her: "It's okay for the two of us to be at home, right?"
Ziheng ignored him and hugged Xia Xi instead, looking up and saying, "Don't worry, Mom, I can take care of myself."
Xu Yanfeng: “…”

There were some things that Xu Yanfeng told her only when they arrived at the airport, fearing that she would forget if he said it too early: "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because you're out of my sight. Eat three meals a day as usual and don't be willful. If you can't remember, I'll call you to remind you..."
"There's a time difference between the two places."
Xia Xi couldn't help but interrupt him. The next second, he lowered his eyebrows and squinted at her, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Okay, I'll remember it all." Xia Xi nodded tactfully.
"Don't be impatient, and don't be perfunctory."
"I don't……"
Xia Xi tried to argue, but Xu Yanfeng raised his hand and pressed his fingertips against her lips, stopping her from saying anything irritating. He looked at her as if she were a careless child, and said in a deep voice with a slight sigh, "I will..."
The airport hall was crowded and noisy, and the boarding reminder sounded on the broadcast, drowning out Xu Yanfeng's voice.
Xia Xi fixed her eyes on his moving lips. After the broadcast ended, she took away his finger from her lips and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear the rest."
As if to oppose her, she had just finished speaking when the broadcast sounded again, reminding passengers to board the plane, mixed with the heartbreaking crying of a child next to her.
