Stunned, he turned around in astonishment to look at Xiajun Zihao. "Hao'er, why do you think this way?"

"Daddy's wife is Mummy, but Daddy lost Mummy. I want to find a younger sister to be my wife. I will grow up together with my younger sister, so I won't lose her."

Hearing his son's words, Xiajun Yanli's heart ached. An air of sadness enveloped his body. This child had always been very mature and never made him worry. However, it was not a coincidence that his child said such things. He must have known something.

He had always thought that it would be enough if he focused on giving all his love to his child. However, he realized that a child needed a mother's love as well. That was how much he yearned for his mother.

Actually, his child was not wrong. He had really lost his mother.

Seeing that his father's expression did not look good, Hao'er understood too. His big, clear eyes blinked as he said, "Daddy, don't be upset."

Xiajun Yanli sighed to himself and said, "Daddy isn't upset. Hao'er is smart. You know about finding a wife from such a young age."

These past few years, the child had always been giving him comfort, and that was how he got by. Hearing Hao'er's words, it suddenly came to his mind that Hao'er was already five or six years old. He would no longer be a child after a few years.

"Then, Daddy, would you allow me to go and play with Auntie again?"

"Yes, you can. But you can't go too often. Your Auntie is pregnant and needs rest. She can't be tired."

Xiajun Zihao pouted. "Daddy, I know it already."

"Okay. Be good, Hao'er. You can go and visit Auntie after a few days. Daddy will arrange for someone to send you over and fetch you back when you're almost done playing."

Xiajun Zihao blinked his big, clear eyes as he said happily, "Thank you, Daddy."

"There's no need to thank your own Daddy. You are Daddy's source of pride, do you understand?"

"Yes, yes." Even though Xiajun Zihao did not really understand, he still tried his best to nod. He knew that his father really loved him. When he was not around, his father would be worried, so he could not let him worry.

Xiajun Yanli's expression became gentle and elegant when he saw his son nodding his small head vigorously from the rear mirror. After that, he continued to drive the car back home.

…

After the Lantern Festival had pa.s.sed, the festive mood of the New Year died down as well. People started to get busy with their lives and work for the new year.

Everyone went into work mode. The big, red lanterns were gradually taken down as well. Malls also started to welcome a new wave of post-Lunar New Year shopping.

The weather was good on this day, so Xie Limo accompanied Yun Bixue on a walk at the park outside. They were still guarded by more than a hundred guards around them.

However, when they were taking a stroll, they suddenly heard a piercing scream not too far away. The owner of that voice was ranting loudly.

Yun Bixue felt that this voice sounded really familiar, as though it was scolding her. She frowned and said, "Who is that?"

Xie Limo gestured to a secluded corner. Immediately, someone appeared beside Xie Limo and said respectfully, "Young Master Xie, it's Lu Suyan. She's making a scene. We have neglected our duties and have just stopped her."

"Okay, don't let anyone disturb us."

"Yes!"

Yun Bixue frowned. She raised her hand and said, "She hates me so much. Tie her up. I want to question her."

The secret guard looked up and glanced at Xie Limo for his approval.

Xie Limo remarked coldly, "Listen to your Young Madam. Her words are as good as mine."

The secret guard was slightly shocked. For so many generations before this, there was never such a thing as a Young Madam's orders were equal to the Young Master's.
