"The Jiang Corporation has great foresight to have gained such a valuable piece of land . " Xuxu fixed her eyes on Su Yue and the children, and it revealed a look of yearning .
Jiang Zhuoheng blankly stared at her for quite a while before answering with a smile . "All thanks to Flourish & Prosper for granting us this favor . "
There was a hint of self-mockery in his smile .
The two of them stood side by side against the chilly wind and looked at the giggly kids, both lost in their own thoughts .
"President, Secretary Liu is here . "
Jiang Zhuoheng's assistant suddenly came and leaned over to whisper into Jiang Zhuoheng's ears .
Xuxu realized someone was near them when she heard some noise . She looked over and saw that it was Jiang Zhuoheng's assistant . She smiled at him . "Hu Yang . "

Hu Yang was Jiang Zhuoheng's secretary and also their classmate from elementary school . He was Jiang Zhuoheng's distant relative, and he came from a well-to-do family . After graduating from the university, he joined the Jiang Corporation .
He was now Jiang Zhuoheng's right-hand man with boundless prospects ahead of him .
Hu Yang smiled politely at her in return . "Miss Wen . "
He kept his greeting formal and distant while Xuxu remained silent . She gradually averted her gaze back to the children .
She was aware that Hu Yang didn't have a good impression of her all these years . This was because since they were young, Jiang Zhuoheng loved being around her, but Hu Yang's sister, Hu Xiaoxiao, liked Jiang Zhuoheng since they were children . Even the Jiang family's elders also adored Hu Xiaoxiao .
In the end, Jiang Zhuoheng rejected her and the elders in the Jiang family respected his decision . Until this day, he didn't marry and Hu Xiaoxiao remained overseas, refusing to return nor get married .
It was likely that Hu Yang was treating her with animosity because of his sister .

Jiang Zhuoheng was observant and could tell that Hu Yang brushed off Xuxu on purpose . He frowned with displeasure and chided him with a low voice . "You could have just called me instead . "
Hu Yang's expression slightly changed, and he looked down . "Pardon me for being presumptuous . "
There was a sullen look on Jiang Zhuoheng's face and he remained silent . He looked at Xuxu and said gently, "Xuxu, I've other matters to attend to, so I'll make a move first . "
Xuxu waved at him . "Go and attend to your work . I'll stay on and let Yueyue play for a while more . "
"Okay . " Jiang Zhuoheng lightly nodded . As he turned around, he intently gazed at Xuxu once more .
Perhaps in the future, there'll be lesser opportunities for him to look at her in such an innocent manner .
…
Xuxu and Su Yue had fun at the orphanage until the sunset . By the time they reached home, the skies had turned dark .
Xuxu changed into her slippers and removed her coat when she entered the house . The house was brightly lit, indicating that Yan Rusheng was already home .
"Missy and little Missy, you're back . "
The two of them met Aunt Zhang in the living room .
Aunt Zhang greeted them . Before she pointed to the dining room, she said, "Quickly go and have your dinner . Third Young Master and Young Master Su Yan also just came home . "
Xuxu looked at the cautious look on Aunt Zhang's face and leaned over to whisper . "Aunt Zhang, did something happen?"
From her understanding of Aunt Zhang, something must have happened .
"Nothing . " Aunt Zhang shook her head and continued, "But Third Young Master doesn't look too happy . "
As expected…
Xuxu nodded her head . "I got it . "
She held Su Yue's hand and strode towards the dining room .
Su Yan was home early today . Does Yan Rusheng's troubled look have anything to do with Su Yan?
Xuxu attempted to guess as she walked . When she reached the entrance of the dining room, she heard the clinking of the bowls and porcelain wares and suddenly, her heart stiffened .
She took in a deep breath and strutted in cheerfully . "Both of you are back early tonight . "
She took a swift glance at Yan Rusheng before fixing her eyes on Su Yan .
