Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Miss Xu glanced at Huo Wuyi, then at Huo Wen’an, and felt as if a couple were divorcing, with the husband gaining custody of the child and planning to take the child back to his hometown.

Miss Xu was amused by her own thoughts.

”Alright.” Miss Xu kicked Huo Wuyi’s rear, warning him, ”Huo Wuyi, your dad’s place is not like mine. When you get there, behave and stay within his estate. Don’t run around; if you run out, you might end up as someone’s meal.”

Miss Xu squatted in front of Huo Wuyi, stared into his eyes, and seriously asked, ”Understood?”

Huo Wuyi wagged his tail three times.

Seeing this, Miss Xu stood up and gave Huo Wuyi another kick on the butt, ”Off you go.”

Huo Wuyi struggled to climb into the back seat of the car.

Cheng Yue and other subordinates just watched, no one dared to object. Only Ye Mingluo looked speechless and said, ”Fearless Baby took my spot, where should I sit?”

Huo Wen’an said, ”You sit in the car in front.”

The car in front was where the guards sat, and usually, when Ye Mingluo traveled, he would sit in the same car as Huo Wen’an.

With the appearance of Huo Wuyi, Ye Mingluo’s treatment plummeted.

Seeing Ye Mingluo dissatisfied, Huo Wen’an sincerely said, ”This is your junior, respect the old and love the young, do you understand?”

”I give up.” Ye Mingluo patted the wide and soft back of Huo Wuyi forcefully, then turned to the car in front.

Huo Wen’an got into the car with the help of Miss Xu.

He sat in the car, gazing at Miss Xu with deep affection, unwilling to roll up the window.

Cheng Yue didn’t dare to drive either and just watched Pilot and Miss Xu exchange glances, gazing silently at each other.

Finally, Miss Xu leaned her head into the car and shared a farewell kiss with Huo Wen’an.

After the kiss, Huo Wen’an finally decided to leave.

”I’ll wait for you on Divine Concealment Island.”

”Okay.”

Watching Huo Wen’an and the others leave, Miss Xu turned around and entered the courtyard.

Sister Lin stood in the suddenly quiet courtyard and sighed, ”Why doesn’t Mr. Huo stay a few more days?”

”His family’s rice fields are full of weeds, he has to go back and weed them out.” Weeds left too long in the fields would really consider themselves as rice.

It’s time to do some weeding.

Sister Linlin’s family always lived in the city, but her grandmother had rural residency and she saw her grandmother plant rice when she was a child. She knew weeds in rice fields resembled rice and grew by absorbing nutrients from the paddy fields, causing harm.

An old saying goes, ”Fields with weeds aren’t fertile; homes with wastrels aren’t prosperous,” describing this very thing.

Sister Linlin took it seriously and said with interest, ”So Mr. Huo’s family are farm owners, huh? Were those people who came just now his farm workers?”

”Sort of.”

Sister Linlin nodded and added, ”It’s good for Fearless to go back with Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo’s farm must be spacious, Fearless will have more fun there.”

Miss Xu nodded and told Sister Linlin, ”He’s having a good life; I heard Mr. Huo has built him a separate villa with a swimming pool and playground at home.”

Sister Linlin was stunned, ”Really?”

She wiped her hands on her apron, exclaiming, ”The community where my maternal family lives doesn’t even have a playground. My sister-in-law has to take my little nephew to the park every day. Yet Mr. Huo built a villa for Fearless!”

Sister Linlin was truly amazed.

Miss Xu playfully asked Sister Linlin, ”What? Are you envious? Their car probably hasn’t left Cangshan Town yet. If you’re envious, I can have them come back and pick you up too.”

Sister Linlin quickly waved her hands, laughing, ”No way, I’m your housekeeper and have to help Miss Xu manage the whole mountain.”

Knowing one’s limitations is valuable.

Sister Linlin thought her current life was pretty good. Miss Xu respected her and didn’t treat her as a servant. Their relationship was more like family, and she cherished this hard-earned peaceful life.

Seeing Sister Linlin’s clarity of mind, Miss Xu felt reassured. ”Sister Linlin, in a few days I need to go to West Continent City. I’ll leave the herb garden base to your care. I should be back before the first batch of herbs matures.”

Sister Linlin didn’t ask Miss Xu the purpose of her trip, she simply said, ”Go without worry, I will take good care of the house!”

”Great.”

This time, Miss Xu’s trip to West Continent City wasn’t for leisure, but for work.

She sold the film rights of her novel ”Guest of Lonely Island Mountain” to Bingfeng Entertainment. She is both the producer and an investor in this movie, as well as the head screenwriter, and will join the crew to collaborate on the project.
