"He chased Mommy away and yet he still has the cheek to be angry? I've been suppressing my anger all this while," said Jin Yiheng.

"Tell me then, what emotions have you been bottling up? You're still young, you have to speak up whenever you're upset. Don't be like your father, all he does is keep his feelings to himself. One day, he's going to implode," said Fan Shixin.

"But I'm different from him. I'm going to be the one to protect Mommy when I grow up, unlike Daddy. All he does is bully Mommy. I'm still young now, and I'm no match for him yet. Once I grow up, no one will dare to bully my Mommy."

Fan Shixin chuckled at the look of seriousness on his face. "Your Mommy will be very heartened to know how much you want to protect her."

"Uncle, could you hide this from Daddy? If not, he's going to be upset when he finds out that I stand on Mommy's side against him."

"You're such a sensible child, you actually spare a thought for your father's feelings…"

"I'm mainly afraid that he'll beat me up."

Fan Shixin was speechless.

Soon, they arrived at the Jin Corporation office building.

Upon the sight of his son, Jin Qingyan paused the work he was doing and asked worriedly, "Does your head still hurt?"

"Not anymore."

"Here's Little Sir's medicine. He received an injection just now too," said Fan Shixin.

"Yeah, I didn't cry at all during the injection. The doctor even praised me for being brave and handsome. Right, Uncle?" Jin Yiheng looked up and stared at Fan Shixin with his eyes wide open.

"Yes."

Jin Yiheng then grabbed his father's arm and muttered, "I dreamt of Mommy last night. Ah, children who don't have mothers are so pitiful."

He obviously said it on purpose and was directing it at Jin Qingyan.

"Do you miss Mommy already?" Jin Qingyan asked softly.

Tears welled up in Jin Yiheng's eyes, and he answered with a nod, "Daddy, I know you've been put in a difficult position. After all, you and Mommy have already divorced each other. It's alright, I'll be fine, really. Having Daddy by my side is enough. I'll be content with seeing Mommy once every couple of months."

"It's all my fault," Jin Qingyan lamented, filled with regret and guilt.

"I don't blame you, Daddy."

Staring at the heartwarming sight of the pair of father and son comforting each other, Fan Shixin could not help but feel like he had hallucinated hearing Jin Yiheng address his father as an "Old Fogy" earlier in the car.

He left the room quietly.

"Tell Daddy, is training at the boot camp tough?" Jin Qingyan asked.

"Not at all for me. But…" Jin Yiheng hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I had a fight with Wenlun."

"Why? Aren't you two best friends?"

"Well, it started because of Xiaoxi and Yuechan. They were both bickering with each other, so Wenlun and I tried to stop them both. During the process, Xiaoxi hit me, and I got angry so I pushed her back. Wenlun then came forward to hit me. That's how we started fighting with each other. I know I shouldn't have pushed Sister Xiaoxi."

"Have you guys made up with each other?"

"Yes, we have. Daddy, have you ever lost during a fight when you were younger?"

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I admit, I've lost to others during a fight before."

Jin Yiheng's eyes lit up in surprise and he asked curiously, "Daddy, were you beaten up into a pulp?"

"It wasn't too bad."

"Daddy, if only you called me to back you up during those times. I'd have definitely stood up for you!" Jin Yiheng exclaimed.

Jin Qingyan sighed and said, "Son, you didn't even exist back then."

"Where was I then?"

"…"

——

More than ten days had passed since the auction. However, Jin Qingyan and An Xiaoning had yet to contact each other.

She would not take the initiative to call him unless he contacted her first.

They both stopped themselves from contacting each other for the next consecutive days.

Jin Qingyan finally caved in, for he could not tolerate it any longer.

He decided to send An Xiaoning a text message, which read: "Do you enjoy using the facial masks?"

"I threw them all away," she replied.

Jin Qingyan almost choked when he read her message. This damned wretch just loves wasting money, eh? I bought all of those with cold hard cash, and they didn't come cheap. How could she just dump them into the trash!?! he thought to himself, flabbergasted.

After staring blankly at her reply, Jin Qingyan finally stood up and placed his clenched fists onto the table.

He then gave Fan Shixin a call.

"Where is An Xiaoning now?"

"Give me a moment, I'll check up on that." Fan Shixin hurriedly questioned his subordinates before answering, "Ms. An is currently playing a game of pool at the club."

"Who is she with?"

"Major Ji."

"She must have a ton of time on her hands, huh?"

"Young Sir, do you want to go there?"

"No, what for?"

After ending the call, Jin Qingyan frantically put on his coat and headed downstairs.

As if he would really not go and keep an eye on her.

Who said I'm not allowed to play pool just because she's there? She doesn't own the club anyway, Jin Qingyan thought to himself.

He then arrived at the pool club, which was much more crowded in the evening compared to the daytime.

Although there were a lot of people in the room, he could spot her amongst the crowd right away.

To his disgruntlement, Ji Yu was standing closely behind An Xiaoning with his arms around her while teaching her how to correctly position the cue stick.

To Jin Qingyan, any man who makes physical contact with An Xiaoning would be crossing the line. However, in reality, An Xiaoning and Ji Yu were entirely focused on playing pool and did not think much of the physical contact.

Ji Yu gave An Xiaoning a few tips while she was holding the cue stick, appearing to be in a good mood.

Jin Qingyan's heart melted at the sight of the bright smile on her face, although she was not smiling because of him.

He did not enter the room and instead remained outside.

An Xiaoning did not realize that he was staring at her from outside at all.

She continued to have a whale of a time with Ji Yu.

The pair then went for supper after they were finished with the game.

There was a food stall near the pool club.

They sat down facing each other and ordered some beer and barbecue skewers.

"You were guiding me most of the time while we were playing pool. Is your right arm injured?" An Xiaoning asked.

"I tried to hide it so badly, but you still found out in the end." He chuckled and shrugged his right arm. "I sustained a minor injury when I was on a mission. Fortunately, it's nothing too serious."

"Missions will always be dangerous. Regardless, you should be careful at all times."

"Okay, I will."

Supper lasted for about an hour, which passed by without them noticing, for they were focused on having an enjoyable conversation.

An Xiaoning did not need him to send her home since she drove her own car.

When it was time to leave, they proceeded to walk toward their respective cars.

As she was approaching her car, she took a closer look to discover that there was another car blocking hers. What a familiar-looking car!

She walked forward and peeked inside the window of Jin Qingyan's car, only to make eye contact with him.

An Xiaoning opened the door and commanded, "Move your car away."

All of a sudden, he grabbed her forcefully by her arm and threw her off balance, causing her to fall flat onto him. Seething with anger, An Xiaoning tried to stand up but was pulled back inside the car by Jin Qingyan, who wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. The shameless bastard!

"Jin Qingyan!"

"I can hear you, you don't have to be so loud."

"Let go of me."

"Will you hit me if I don't?"

"…"

"Seems like the masks were very effective. You look so much more youthful now, just like a teenager," he said in an alluring voice, his breath warming her ears.

"I threw them away long ago."
