When Xue Yang finished washing up and ca downstairs, he stopped in his tracks at the sight of the busy figure. "Auntie Shen? What are you doing here?"
Auntie Shen finished arranging the last cardboard box. Hearing Xue Yang, she looked up and said, "Young Master Xue, you’re awake. The Young Lady asked to co over. I’ll go make your breakfast first. She’s outside drinking tea."
After saying that, Auntie Shen went into the kitchen to make his breakfast.
Xue Yang went outside and, sure enough, saw Lin Xi sitting on the swing in the pavilion, seemingly writing on her phone.
Today, she was wearing a long, Bohemian-style dress. Sitting in the pavilion, she looked like part of a collision between eras, creating a visual feast. Xue Yang couldn’t bring himself to disturb her and simply watched quietly.
Waking up to such a beautiful scene would keep his mood uplifted all day.
The July weather was scorching, but the pavilion was equipped with a cooling system, so it wasn’t too hot to stay outside.
As if sensing Xue Yang’s gaze, Lin Xi looked up and saw him standing in the doorway, watching her with a gentle smile.
Lin Xi imdiately broke into a smile, her eyes curving into crescents. "Xue Yang, you’re up?"
"Yeah."
"Co have so tea."
Lin Xi put down her phone and brewed a fresh cup of tea for Xue Yang.
Xue Yang walked over and sat down opposite Lin Xi. Just as he took a sip of tea, Si Wen ca out as well.
She had changed into a short-sleeved, knee-length hoodie dress, which gave her a casual vibe that concealed her usual powerful, career-woman aura.
"I see Auntie Shen is here," Si Wen remarked.
"I asked her to co, and Uncle He is here as well. He should be setting up the appliances now," Lin Xi said, pouring another cup of tea for Si Wen.
Auntie Shen brought two prepared breakfasts to the pavilion.
"Thank you, Auntie Shen."
Auntie Shen offered a sincere smile and returned to the villa.
It had been a long ti since she’d cooked for the Young Lady. They had just moved in last night, so this was the perfect chance. She would make a lavish first lunch for them as a small celebration.
After breakfast, the three of them sat in the pavilion chatting.
"How’s the collaboration with the overseas company going?" Xue Yang asked.
"It’s settled. Most of the company’s recent business is taken care of. I’ve delegated routine matters to the departnt managers. For any ergencies, they just need to call , and I can handle things from there."
"So, that ans..."
Si Wen took out her phone and showed Xue Yang the plane ticket on the screen. "I bought a ticket for July 20th to fly to Hui City with you two."
Xue Yang was speechless.
"What’s with that expression?"
"Nothing. Hui City welcos you."
How do you deal with a best friend who’s too clingy to your girlfriend? Xue Yang was slightly troubled.
Si Wen put her phone away and said with a haughty air, "That’s more like it. Don’t worry, I won’t be a third wheel. I’m going there to find soone."
Almost the entire world knew Si Wen was heading to Hui City to hunt soone down.
However, only a few people knew who she was after.

After the final exam results ca out, Cui Hao imdiately called Xue Yang.
"Xue Yang, didn’t you say you didn’t study?"
"I didn’t."
"Then how did you pass when I failed? Dammit, now I have to take a make-up exam next sester."
Xue Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Can’t be helped. I’m just naturally smart. I can skip classes, not study, and still pass."
Cui Hao was speechless for a long mont before finally squeezing out a sentence. "...You’re a real piece of work."
"Thanks for the complint."
"Holy crap, you actually took it as one."
Indeed, trying to win against Xue Yang was just foolish.
Cui Hao decisively hung up and called Yu Kexin, only to be told that she had also passed.
Cui Hao couldn’t believe it, so he called Sun Yufei next.
"No way, no way... Don’t tell you’re the only one who failed the final exam?"
Great, just great. A world of pain, and Cui Hao was the only one living in it.
"You all just wait. Next sester, I’m going to bury you all with my grades."
Whether he actually would, only the grades could tell.
「...」
Early the next morning, Xue Yuanqing got out of bed.
He had sothing on his mind and simply couldn’t sleep.
Zhong Hailan also went out early to potter around in her small vegetable patch.
Xue Yuanqing had already requested a day off from work in advance, specifically to check out the new energy vehicle market.
Yang Xiaozhi had just arrived at the dealership when he spotted a familiar van. Seeing Xue Yuanqing get out, he quickly excused himself from the staff he was talking to. "Uncle, what brings you here?"
"Xiao Zhi, I just ca to have a look," Xue Yuanqing said, looking sowhat ill at ease with his hands behind his back.
"Great! Uncle, I’ll show you around."
Yang Xiaozhi enthusiastically pulled Xue Yuanqing along, giving him a tour of the dealership.
The market was huge, covering over ten thousand square ters. Although it was much smaller than other major vehicle markets, for a small place like Hui City, achieving this scale was already quite impressive.
First were the car models in the main hall.
"Uncle, this is the Slate. It’s our model..."
Xue Yuanqing listened to Yang Xiaozhi’s introduction. He used to think he knew a lot about cars, but after the explanation, he realized he only knew the bare basics.
However, his mind was preoccupied with finding out if this vehicle market had anything to do with his son, so he barely registered what Yang Xiaozhi was saying.
"Uncle, let tell you, if you’re thinking of buying, go with Bidiya. It’s the best new energy vehicle brand in Dragon Country right now," Yang Xiaozhi shared the latest information he had.
But that’s not sothing Uncle needs to worry about. My cousin surely has his own plans.
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
Yang Xiaozhi continued to introduce various new energy vehicle brands to Xue Yuanqing.
As they were walking, a foreigner approached them.
He was tall and handso, with a constant gentlemanly smile on his face.
Seeing him, Yang Xiaozhi imdiately called out a greeting.
"Tony, let introduce you. This is my uncle."
Tony extended his right hand and said in broken Dragon Country language, "Hello, nice to et you."
Xue Yuanqing also extended his right hand and shook Tony’s. "Hello, very... nice to et you."
"Tony, he’s also my cousin’s father."
"You an, he’s Boss Xue’s father?" Tony’s expression was one of clear surprise.
Boss Xue? He couldn’t be talking about my son, could he?
"Yeah. He said he’s never seen the market before, so he ca by today to check it out."
Upon learning that Xue Yuanqing was Xue Yang’s father, Tony imdiately grabbed his hand with both of his own. "Mr. Xue! Hello!" he said excitedly. "I should have visited you sooner. You’re an incredible man to have raised such an outstanding son as Xue Yang!"
It really is my son.
At that mont, Xue Yuanqing was overwheld by a sense of disbelief.
Just how many things had his son not told him? Or rather, how many more surprises did his son have that he knew nothing about?
