Fu Yiming was far away in France and could not comfort her in time. He said to Xia Linan in a calm tone: "Anan, I believe you. I have found someone to protect you. Don't be afraid. Just wait for me to come back."

"Yeah." Xia Lin'an sniffed and nodded heavily in response.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yiming called Secretary Wang back: "I will be returning to China on a flight tonight. Please immediately arrange for someone to protect Xia Linan. If she loses even a hair, I will hold you responsible."

Fu Yiming gritted his teeth and said in a calm voice.

Secretary Wang was shocked and responded in a serious tone, "Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

Ten minutes later, twenty bodyguards in black rushed into the western restaurant where Xia Linan was, ready for action.

When the reporters were taking photos and preparing to eat the big news, they received a call from their immediate boss.

The content is almost the same, all scolding them for not having brains. Do you think you can just eat the melons about the son of the richest man?! Do you still want to stay in this industry? If you don’t want your studio to be banned, come back quickly!

Some timid reporters called off the scene, while some reporters who were unwilling to give up chose to continue squatting with their cameras at the ready.

After they waited for a long time but the client did not show up, a group of people in high-end suits appeared in front of them. They said to the reporters who continued to wait in unison: "You have seriously violated the privacy of my client, Ms. Xia Linan. Please leave immediately, or we will call the police and let them intervene to handle this matter."

When the reporters heard the police call, they started to get scared. One or two reporters who wanted to cause trouble and were reluctant to leave were forcibly taken away by the bodyguards in black.

Within half an hour, all the reporters were cleared away.

Xia Linan walked out of the western restaurant and found Secretary Wang standing outside the door. He said to Xia Linan respectfully, "I'm sorry, Miss Xia, I frightened you."

Xia Linan shook his head blankly and said softly, "I'm fine."

"The boss asked me to take you back first. Get in the car, Miss Xia." Secretary Wang opened the back door and waited for Xia Linan to get in.

Xia Linan glanced back at Ye Ruohuan and the others worriedly. Liang Ke understood the meaning of her eyes in an instant. She said softly, "I will send them back later. You should go home and have a good rest first. We can postpone the filming later."

Xia Linan said "hmm" softly. After seeing Ye Ruohuan and the others get into Liang Ke's car, she picked up her pace and was about to get in the car when she suddenly heard someone shouting, "An An!"

Xia Lin'an paused for a moment. She looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man wearing an expensive suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked at her anxiously.

Secretary Wang glanced at the subtle atmosphere between the two. Oh no, the boss hasn’t come back yet, and the love rival is about to show up?

Xia Lin'an looked at Xia Yansi in surprise as he walked towards her. She had never expected to meet him in this city.

Didn't Xia Yansi settle in the United States? A hint of doubt flashed across Xia Lin'an's eyes.

Xia Yansi walked closer, completely ignoring Secretary Wang, and said tenderly to Xia Linan, "Anan, are you okay? I, I heard that something happened to you, so I rushed over."

Xia Linan lowered his eyebrows to hide the strangeness in his eyes, and said as if he was answering an old friend: "I'm fine."

Seeing Xia Linan so cold, Xia Yansi's eyes flashed with sadness. He said softly: "Anan, I just returned to China. Can we take this opportunity to talk?"

Xia Linan was silent. To her, Xia Yansi was just like a member of the Xia family. She was also wary and repulsed of him in her heart.

However, she thought about it and finally said calmly: "Okay."

It's time to talk things out. It will be better for both of them.

Secretary Wang prayed in his heart that Xia Linan would refuse, but he never expected that Xia Linan agreed as if he had received the wrong script.

"I want to talk to him about something. You can go back first."

After Xia Linan finished speaking to Secretary Wang, he left with Xia Yansi.

Secretary Wang broke out in a cold sweat and said quickly, "Miss Xia, the boss..."

"I'll be back soon." Xia Lin'an looked at the difficulty on Secretary Wang's face and said, "If you're worried, just follow us."

"Okay." Secretary Wang agreed.

Of course he had to keep an eye on the boss's wife before the boss came back.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the strange man was eyeing the proprietress, and he must have been worried.

The boss’ words “You are the only one to blame” were still ringing in his ears. If he made a mistake and lost the boss’s wife, he would not be able to save his life even if he had ten dog heads.

Xia Yansi looked at Xia Linan with complicated eyes, then looked at the man following behind them.

He didn't say anything and took Xia Lin'an to a nearby park.

There weren't many people in the park at this time of the afternoon.

Xia Yansi and Xia Linan were walking side by side. Xia Yansi broke the silence and said to the woman beside him who was keeping her head down and saying nothing: "Anan, how have you been these years?"

How have you been lately?

This is indeed a question suitable for breaking the silence and starting a conversation.

Xia Lin'an's face was calm, and he said calmly, "I'm doing fine, and I'm living a fulfilling life. How about you?"

Xia Yansi pursed his lips and said, "Not good."

Xia Lin'an paused slightly, then walked forward calmly.

Xia Yansi secretly glanced at the expression on Xia Linan's face and continued, "In the first few years after arriving in the United States, I had to rely on myself for everything, but..."

He paused and continued, "The most uncomfortable thing is not this, but that I am in New York, but my heart is still with China."

Xia Lin'an did not respond to him and remained silent.

Xia Yansi continued: "An An, I have been looking for you these years, why didn't you call me?" There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

Xia Linan explained: "Sorry, I forgot your number."

This is true. In fact, Xia Linan did not tell Xia Yansi that she not only forgot his number, but also forgot about him.

When Xia Linan first arrived in City B, she had to do everything by herself starting from college. She had once had enough food and clothing, but she had no life experience. Over time, she was troubled by the daily necessities and gradually forgot about the people in the past.

Xia Yansi smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Do you know who I came back for this time?"

Xia Lin'an's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer his question.

Xia Yansi stopped, turned around and said to the woman beside him: "An An, I came back this time..."

"elder brother!"

Xia Linan interrupted Xia Yansi and said calmly, "Let the past be the past. I am living a good life now."
