Standing in the corner, Fu Yiming gathered Xia Lin'an's coat. Xia Lin'an asked reluctantly, "When can I see you again?"

Fu Yiming smiled, curled his knuckles, slid across Xia Linan's small nose, and said to her, "As long as you want to see me, you can do it anytime."

"Really?" Xia Lin'an murmured.

"Yeah." Fu Yiming responded calmly.

He took Xia Lin'an out of the mall, and when they passed the LED sign in the middle, Xia Lin'an suddenly saw his own video on it.

She looked stunned, and only then did she realize that the advertisement had already been posted.

Xia Linan couldn't help but ask, "Why did you put the ad up so quickly?"

Fu Yiming pinched her soft pancreas and said lightly: "It's within the company's plan."

Xia Linan said "Oh", and then said narcissistically: "I'm pretty good-looking, don't you think?"

Fu Yiming smiled and nodded in agreement: "You are the most beautiful in the world."

Xia Linan was successfully pleased. They almost had a cold war just now, but now they were reconciled. Xia Linan just felt very happy in his heart.

In fact, Fu Yiming did not say it out loud. He had another purpose in having the company officially announce Xia Linan so quickly, which was to announce to the world that Xia Linan was his.

Xia Yansi, who was waiting outside the mall, naturally also saw the advertisement shot by Xia Linan. The frowns and smiles of the woman in the advertisement made him feel familiar, yet unfamiliar.

In just five years, Xia Lin'an has changed so much. He is no longer as willful and bad-tempered as before, but has become more gentle and mature.

Xia Yansi looked at Xia Linan's poster and couldn't help laughing.

People change all the time, but his heart is as solid as a rock.

Xia Lin'an parted ways with Fu Yiming at the entrance of the shopping mall. She looked back reluctantly at the man in the corner, who was also looking at her.

Xia Linan said "goodbye" in lip language and then got into Xia Yansi's car.

Xia Yansi watched her get into the car with empty hands, so he asked, "Didn't you buy anything?"

Xia Linan said, "I just came out to get some fresh air." She lowered her head and fastened her seat belt.

"Did you see anyone suspicious?" Xia Yansi asked doubtfully.

Could it be that Xia Yansi saw Fu Yiming?

Xia Linan paused for a moment, then pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What suspicious person?"

"No, I just said it casually." Xia Yansi started the car and took Xia Linan back to the Xia family.

This time, there was no vehicle following them.

Xia Yansi couldn't help but wonder, did he really see it wrong?

When they returned to the Xia family, Xia Shixun had already returned. Seeing the two of them coming back one after another, he put down the newspaper in his hand.

Xia Linan said, "Dad." Then she went upstairs to take a shower.

Xia Yansi walked up to Xia Shixun and called out, "Dad."

Xia Shixun stood up and said to him, "Come outside and talk with me."

Xia Yansi followed Xia Shixun into the garden and heard Xia Shixun say, "How are the preparations for the annual meeting going?"

Xia Yansi replied: "It's almost ready, and the invitations have been sent to the guests."

Xia Shixun nodded with satisfaction, "Okay." This adopted son never let him down when doing things.

He then asked, "Did you go out with An An today?"

"Well, An An said she felt bored at home, so I accompanied her for a walk." Xia Yansi said with his eyes lowered.

Xia Shixun asked, "Nothing unusual, right?"

He knew his daughter best and she always had a lot on her mind, so he couldn't help but become suspicious.

Xia Yansi thought about it and said, "When we went out today, a car followed us, but it disappeared when we got to the mall."

Xia Yansi still believed in his intuition that the car was following them on purpose.

Xia Shixun frowned and asked, "Have you checked?"

"It can't be found out for the time being." This is also the most confusing thing in Xia Yansi's mind.

Why couldn't they find a single car? I'm afraid the other party was well prepared.

"Okay, I understand. Let's put this matter aside for now and focus on the annual meeting first." Xia Shixun said.

Xia Yansi thought of Xia Linan's reaction when she tried on the dress today, and asked, "Dad, Anan doesn't know we're at the annual meeting yet... What if she finds out and gets upset?"

"What's the provocation? She has seen the world. No matter how much trouble she makes, she won't make it a big deal in front of everyone!" Xia Shixun said stubbornly.

Xia Yansi lowered his head and stopped talking.

Xia Linan went upstairs to his room, locked the door, took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Fu Yiming.

The call was picked up quickly.

"Are you home?" Fu Yiming asked in a magnetic voice.

Xia Linan smiled sweetly, "Yeah!"

The two of them were silent, listening to each other's breathing, which was very beautiful.

Fu Yiming walked to the French window, lifted the curtain, looked at the villa not far away, and asked, "When can uncle let you come back?"

Xia Linan was stunned for a moment. She thought for a few seconds and replied, "From what he said, it should be after the annual meeting."

Annual meeting? Fu Yiming's eyes flickered.

Most companies would hold their annual meetings in early January. Now it’s not even the end of December yet, so why did the Xia family hold it so many days earlier?

It feels a bit anxious and rushed.

Fu Yiming was thinking about something when he heard Xia Linan say, "Do you already know about our family's affairs?"

Xia Linan realized later that Fu Yiming was able to find this place and even proposed to visit her home in the mall. Then she thought of a possibility, that is, Fu Yiming was investigating her.

Fu Yiming on the other end of the phone was silent, which was an acknowledgement of Xia Linan's guess.

Xia Linan then asked: "So you know about me and my brother?"

"What's the matter?" Fu Yiming really didn't know about this.

All he found was some very general information, and he only knew that Xia Yansi was Xia Linan's non-blood-related brother.

Is there something else going on between them?

When Xia Linan heard Fu Yiming's reaction, he cursed himself for being stupid, then said, "It's nothing, just like a normal brother and sister."

Fu Yiming was skeptical, so Xia Linan made up an excuse and said, "I'm going to take a shower. We'll talk in the evening. Bye."

Xia Linan hung up the phone quickly, and Fu Yiming looked at the darkened screen, lost in thought.

Fu Yiming dialed a number and said, "Look up the purpose of Xia's company holding the annual meeting early, and the past of Xia Yansi and Xia Linan."

Wang Yihan quickly agreed, and then the call was hung up.

Xia Linan came out of the bathroom, walked to the window, and found a father and son standing in the garden, talking.

At that moment, that feeling came back.
