Indeed, Young Master Lu had successfully brought Zhou Shuang back. They reached the capital city yesterday, but Lu Yinan had already planned for them to have a meal during the weekend.

But it wasn't to celebrate Zhou Shuang's return. He was merely celebrating the fact that he still had a roof over his head.

"I'm not talking to you anymore. You're so horrible to ignore my concern." Ming Ansheng's mother chided him and then whispered once more, "Rest early. Stop working until the wee hours. You will be 27 soon, and you need to take care of your body."

Ming Ansheng grunted to show that he had heard her. "You rest early, too."

After hanging up, Ming Ansheng glanced at his phone. There were no texts or missed calls.

"Heartless girl," he muttered under his breath and carelessly threw his phone on the couch. He went to make himself a cup of tea.



It was Chinese New Year soon—and the situation at the company was frantic.

Mu Li and Yan Weihong took over the duty of taking care of the twins in the daytime. Xuxu got bored at home, so she came to help Yan Rusheng at work.

Although she had left the company for almost a year, she had no difficulties coping with the work.

After lunch, her secretary cleared the table.

Xuxu brewed two cups of tea and brought both the cups to Yan Rusheng's office.

Yan Rusheng received the cup and took a sip.

Xuxu thought of something and asked, "Are you attending Yizhong's 100th-year-anniversary celebration?"

Yan Rusheng lightly replied, "I received the invitation from the principal."

Xuxu frowned in response. "I'm asking if you are planning to attend."

Of course, she knew that the principal would invite him along with Ming Ansheng and the rest. They would definitely be on the VIP list.

Yan Rusheng batted an eyelid and grinned. "I will follow wherever you go."

Xuxu rolled her eyes and quipped, "That means you are going. Can't you just be more direct?"

She drank her entire cup of tea in one gulp.

Yan Rusheng's voice sounded. "I like to be more…."

He stretched his arms and embraced Xuxu before pulling her over. She fell on his lap and he seductively whispered in her ears, "Rough instead."

"Go away." Xuxu used her elbow to nudge Yan Rusheng and anxiously peered at the door. "Yan Rusheng, let go of me. This is the office!"

"I want to kiss you." Yan Rusheng kissed Xuxu on her lips before releasing her.

Knock, knock, knock.

Xuxu was adjusting her clothes when someone knocked.

She straightened her almond-colored shirt and responded, "Come in."

A tall and slender lady sauntered in.

Xuxu instantly addressed her. "General Manager Xin."

She politely bowed at Xin Yanting.

Xin Yanting frowned when she saw Wen Xuxu. She raised her chin and assumed her usual air of arrogance. "Wen Xuxu, why are you here?"

Her voice was so much louder.

Yan Rusheng furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance. "General Manager Xin, anything the matter?"

This company belonged to the Yan family, she was Yan Rusheng's woman, and the lady boss of Flourish & Prosper. So who was she to question Wen Xuxu?

Xin Yanting glanced at Yan Rusheng and asked, "Why isn't Su Yan here today?"

Yan Rusheng frowned once again at her question. "Is there a need for Vice-President Su to report to you?"

Xin Yanting haughtily replied, "I have work to discuss with him."
