Even though An Rao tried her best to suppress her tears, Bo Xiao felt the heat on his arm.

“No, I’ve already written a report. The old man still wants me to inherit his family assets. When the time comes, I’ll inherit the Bo family and let you be the rich lady.”

Bo Xiao’s tone was teasing, but An Rao could feel his internal struggle.

The way Bo Xiao leaned in the darkness and blew out smoke rings was deeply engraved in An Rao’s heart.

An Rao turned around and looked straight into Bo Xiao’s eyes. Those fox-like eyes that always had a smile in them were dim. “I don’t want to be a rich wife. I want you to have a clear conscience.”

She knew that Bo Xiao did not like to take over the Bo family’s business and wanted to fight alongside his teammates to protect the country behind him. That was what Bo Xiao really wanted to do.

“But this will make you suffer.” Bo Xiao stroked An Rao’s hair.

“No, I’m proud of you.” An Rao leaned back into Bo Xiao’s arms. “I’m serious. You look really handsome in your military uniform, more handsome than anyone else.”

That was the handsomeness enhanced by the light of faith. Nothing in the world could compare to it.

“I’m sorry.” Bo Xiao kissed An Rao’s hair.

“Why are you apologizing? It’s just a while.” An Rao’s tone was light as she comforted Bo Xiao.

“Yes, I’ll be back soon.” Bo Xiao adjusted his mentality. “Let’s go. Get up. You’ve been lying down for the entire day.”

Bo Xiao was about to get up and order something for An Rao when An Rao grabbed his arm.

An Rao whispered into Bo Xiao’s ear, “Let’s have a child. That way, someone will accompany me at home.”

Bo Xiao’s body stiffened for a moment. An Rao’s words warmed his heart. “Child?”

“Mm.” An Rao nodded and leaned into Bo Xiao’s arms with a smile. “Do you like boys or girls?”

“I like both.” There was no need to say anything else. They were all drowned in the rapidly rising temperature in the house.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was the opening day of Xiu Yi.

Perhaps even the heavens were enough to care for her. On this day, the sky was clear, and the clouds were blue.

“What time is the opening ceremony?” Jun Shiling asked casually after sending Xia Wanyuan to the school gate.

However, Xia Wanyuan, who was already very familiar with Jun Shiling’s routine, looked up at him. “You want to come?”

“Why? I can’t go? This is considered a shared property between husband and wife, right?” Jun Shiling was very self-righteous after his thoughts were exposed.

“Come then.” Xia Wanyuan did not argue with Jun Shiling. “It starts from three in the afternoon. You don’t have to pick me up, I’ll go myself.”

“Okay.” Jun Shiling let go of Xia Wanyuan’s hand in satisfaction. “Go to work.”

Xia Wanyuan had just gotten out of the car when Jun Shiling received a call.

After hearing the report on the phone, a dark glint flashed across Jun Shiling’s eyes. “We can start moving.”

With Jun Shiling’s order, at the same time, the hidden personnel in the capital began to close the net.

After a long period of investigation, these people hiding in the darkness finally revealed some clues.

And these traces were the key to eliminating these dangerous people.

The Wei family’s courtyard.

“Boss, bad news!”

“Tell me, what’s wrong?” Yu Qian, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, frowned slightly.

“Our contact lines have all been breached!!”

“Oh?” Yu Qian finally opened his eyes. There was no fluctuation in his indifferent eyes. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. “So what if it’s breached? Prepare yourself and leave with me.”

“Yes!”

Yu Qian tapped his index finger gently on his lap. He had originally come to China personally to take over the Wei family on Wei Zimu’s behalf. Such a century-old family was extremely influential in China and would be of great help to him in expanding the market in China.

However, it seemed like there was no hope for this matter. After all, Xia Wanyuan, who had appeared out of nowhere, should be the successor in Matriarch Wei’s heart.

Most importantly, he could not attack Xia Wanyuan. There were too many protective forces around her.

However, Yu Qian did not feel regretful. At least, he understood one thing.

That was Jun Shiling’s background identity.

“China is really interesting.” In the end, Yu Qian only said this sentence.

At the same time, in the underground laboratory in Continent F, Wei Zimu, whose ten fingers were cold and bruised, was finally released.

“Didn’t you say three months? Why are you letting me out so early? What is Yu Qian doing?” Wei Zimu’s first thought was whether Yu Qian would hurt Xia Wanyuan and directly questioned the person in front of him.

Jayce looked at Wei Zimu fiercely. “Don’t think that you can casually call the boss by his name just because you have the same blood as him. Be careful that you won’t know how you die one day.”

“Give me the phone! I want to call him!” Wei Zimu took his phone and called Yu Qian.

Yu Qian seemed to know what Wei Zimu was going to say. After picking up the phone, he said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to her. You can continue to return to the Wei family. Set off immediately. The plane has been prepared for you.”

With that, Yu Qian hung up the phone. Although Wei Zimu was puzzled why Yu Qian would do this, he was looking forward to returning to China.

In the Qing University campus, Xia Wanyuan had already finished her morning classes and was about to go out for lunch when Wei Jin walked in with a bamboo basket.

“Cousin, I made some lunch myself. If you don’t mind, eat with me.”

“Okay, then it would be impolite to decline.” Xia Wanyuan did not hesitate and accepted Wei Jin’s good intentions.

“I didn’t expect you to know how to cook.” Xia Wanyuan knew that the Wei family had nurtured Wei Jin according to the path of a young lady. She had thought that the Wei family would not let Wei Jin’s hands be stained with spring water.

“I do.” Wei Jin swallowed the food in her mouth before speaking. “As an outstanding marriage tool, being able to cook and coax my husband’s family is something I’ve been taught since I was young.”

Xia Wanyuan’s chopsticks paused and she could not help but take a closer look at Wei Jin. “Are you resentful?”

“No.” Wei Jin shook her head. “I’ve always known what my fate would be. Without expectations, I won’t be disappointed.”

“Perhaps you can try to have some expectations,” Xia Wanyuan said.

“Huh?” Wei Jin looked at Xia Wanyuan in confusion. She did not understand what Xia Wanyuan meant.

Xia Wanyuan was unwilling to say more and only smiled meaningfully. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel. Perhaps you’ll discover a different life.”

“Thank you for your comfort, Cousin.” Wei Jin thought that Xia Wanyuan was comforting her and had no other thoughts.

“Yo, did I make it for lunch? Can you give me something to eat? Just treat it as paying for today’s errand fees, okay?” A familiar teasing voice suddenly came from behind.

Wei Jin stopped eating and frowned unhappily.

Why is this young master of the Mu family so persistent? Didn’t he eat with me yesterday? Why is he pestering me again today?
