Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

This time, going to Chuancheng Ying Family is to participate in the Hundred Medicines Conference. If Xu Xingguang can achieve a top-three finish, she will be sent to the Medicine King Tower along with the other two contestants after the competition.

Therefore, today’s farewell marks a departure.

In the evening, the young couple called Song Chi to the Pilot Mansion, where the three of them accompanied the elderly Huo Canghai couple for dinner. After dinner, the family sat under the pavilion and chatted until midnight before going to sleep.

”Song Chi.” Huo Wen’an stood up, pressed Song Chi’s left shoulder, gently squeezed it, and solemnly said, ”During the time I’m away, I entrust the Huo Family to you.”

Song Chi moved his lips, then said expressionlessly, ”You should come back soon, come back alive. I have no interest in being the Huo Family Leader.”

”Certainly.”

The next morning, the two of them got up early and left without disturbing Huo Canghai.

Listening to the sound of the plane ascending into the clouds, Huo Canghai opened his aged eyes and asked, ”What time is it?”

Andariel picked up the wristwatch from the nightstand and glanced at it. She said, ”It’s only four o’clock. These two kids sneaked away without saying goodbye to us.”

Huo Canghai said nothing.

Neither could sleep; they lay in bed for a while. Andariel said, ”It seems they didn’t take that fat pig away, I’ll go see if it’s hungry.”

After Huo Wen’an and Xu Xingguang left, the pet pig they raised became Andariel’s concern.

Andariel pressed the pager button on the headboard and said to Belial on the other end, ”Belial, I’m getting up.”

Two minutes later, Belial led a makeup artist and a stylist into Andariel’s dressing room on light footsteps, starting her daily morning grooming.

Shenyin Chun also entered with male servants to help Huo Canghai dress.

It took some time before Andariel was ready and dressed.

She wore a light purple skirt suit, her golden-brown hair styled into soft waves, adorned with a gemstone hair clip at the back.

She wore a pair of lustrous pearl earrings, and a deep purple gemstone antique ring on her ring finger, before heading downstairs.

Elegantly dressed, she appeared at Huo Wuyi’s pig villa door, opened the small gate, and gently called Huo Wuyi, ”Fatty pig, come out, it’s time for breakfast.”

After a while, Huo Wuyi came out of the villa and obediently entered his dining area.

Huo Wuyi has a team of professional breeders.

He eats two meals a day, a vegetarian breakfast, and a mixed dinner.

The breeders pushed a dining cart filled with six or seven dishes, some raw, some cooked. Andariel removed her lace gloves and handed them to Belial, as she personally prepared Huo Wuyi’s meal, saying, ”Fatty pig, your owners are about to go elsewhere, starting today, I’m your stepmother.”

”You have to respect me when I give you food, and from now on, don’t bully my Bobbi.” During this time, Andariel and Huo Canghai will stay at the Pilot Mansion, and the hunting dog Bobbi naturally accompanied Andariel in the move.

Huo Wuyi and the hunting dog Bobbi were inherently at odds; they would fight upon meeting, much to Andariel’s distress.

Huo Wuyi snorted as he ate the vegetarian food, completely ignoring Andariel.

After breakfast, Andariel changed into riding gear, took a gun, and rode her horse to the back mountain to hunt, with Bobbi following.

After thinking about it, she said to Belial, ”Go, let the fat pig out too, from today on, he has to exercise with me in the back mountain for two hours every day.”

Huo Wuyi was pulled by Belial to the palace entrance, looking with his innocent, ignorant pig eyes at the woman on horseback, realizing the owners have left, his good days were coming to an end.

Zheng Qin happened to see this scene, couldn’t help but take a picture and sent it to Xu Xingguang: [Madam, your little pig is being abused by the stepmother.]

Xu Xingguang saw the message, merely smiled, replied: [A stepmother is also a mother.]

After sending the message, she looked up, gazing at the tumultuous sea, lost in thought.

It’s going to rain, with constant sea squalls, rolling waves threatening to overturn Xu Xingguang’s small boat, sinking it to the sea floor.

Hua Junqiao took a look with binoculars, said, ”A storm is coming.”

”Hmm.”

The boat successfully reached the lighthouse. Xu Xingguang stood up, fingers grasping the iron chain dangling from the cement platform, nimbly climbed up.

Her slender, lean figure stood on the high platform of the lighthouse, giving off a fragile and wind-swept feeling.

Yet, despite the sea breeze’s attempts to wreak havoc, apart from her hair moving, her whole body remained as steadfast as a rock. Hua Junqiao watched Xu Xingguang for a moment, then grabbed the chain and climbed up.
