Before He Yanzhi could reply, Little Qi saw Cheng Hui waving at her in the field.

  This person had arrived even earlier, and had a group of kids following behind him.

  With Cheng Hui around, Little Qi believed that unless Master Xiao had given permission, He Yanzhi would not be able to take her away.

  Therefore, she returned the phone to He Yanzhi, although she was still very curious about what He Yanzhi had said to Master Xiao and how the two of them had communicated.

  He Yanzhi had a mysterious look on his face. He did not intend to tell her the little story.

  As a man, he naturally had to be open and honest. He Yanzhi knew of Master Xiao’s background, so on the first night after the results came out, he waited outside Zhongteng. He did not ask the front desk to inform him of his presence and instead, waited at the door for two hours. Only when he saw Master Xiao’s car did he step forward and bow.

  Master Xiao rolled down the car window, his gaze sharp. “What’s the matter?”


  “Tomorrow, I want to take Xiao Wan to the countryside to play for a few days. I hope I can get Uncle’s approval.”


  Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He sized He Yanzhi up and down. Two seconds later, he dropped a word. “Approved.” Then, he rolled up the car window.

  “President, why are you so indulgent with this child?” Xu Che asked as he drove. He really did not understand.

  “Because he has the restraint that most adults do not,” Sheng Xiao replied indifferently.

  If it were any other fourteen-year-old child from another family, it would be fine if he merely “kidnapped” your daughter. It would be fine if he merely gave a playful explanation. However, it was very likely that he would avoid and shirk responsibility.

  He Yanzhi, on the other hand, went straight to Sheng Xiao and waited downstairs for two hours. He did not deliberately disturb him. He had waited patiently for his appearance. Master Xiao felt that he did not need to worry about his daughter’s safety.

  What He Yanzhi meant by this was that he would take on all the responsibilities.

  After that, Sheng Xiao asked Cheng Hui to pack up for Little Qi and go over to settle in early. He even asked Cheng Hui to give his number to He Yanzhi. This daughter of his was indeed used to seeing pearls and diamonds, but she did not have the opportunity to experience the simplicity of the countryside. This was indeed a rare experience for her.

  “Young Master, you really brought Miss Sheng here. There’s nothing good here.” Auntie Hong was a little troubled.

  Auntie Hong’s home was a very simple courtyard that was located on a lake.

  Little Qi had never seen these things before, so they were naturally very fresh.

  “Auntie Hong, she eats what we eat. She’s not so pampered.” He Yanzhi put down his luggage and then looked at his grandmother, asking, “Grandma, do you like it here?”


  Grandma He nodded and shook the cattail leaf fan in her hand, looking very satisfied. “This place is more comfortable than the big city. There are green mountains and clear waters, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’ve decided to move here with Auntie Hong.”


  Actually, He Yanzhi also had the same intention. He wanted to renovate the place and then find a few people to guard the house. It was a good place to retire. However, he would not be able to see his only family often.

  “I know why you asked Auntie Hong to bring me here. You’re getting bigger now. Your second uncle will definitely find trouble with you through all sorts of means. You’re not at ease with me around. Grandma knows that.”


  “Grandma, I’ll often bring Xiao Wan back to visit you,” He Yanzhi said to Grandma He as he looked at Xiao Wan who was fishing in the distance.

  “Xiao Wan is really a good child.” Grandma He looked at her fishing on the other side of the river and beamed. “If I work hard, maybe I can see you have a family. Go and accompany Xiao Wan.”
