"It must be because Sheng Sheng has never left you. If Baihao and I go traveling without Wubai, I’d be worried every day too. Don’t be too tense, mothers are like this."

Chenxing nodded: "I know, but why can’t you give me a call and let me know you’re safe wherever you are? Maybe if Sheng Sheng calls me every day, I’d be at ease."

Huanhuan patted her shoulder: "Alright, stop worrying. Let’s go shopping."

"Not in the mood."

"Then how about a haircut?"

Chenxing shook her head.

Ah, Huanhuan grabbed her hand: "Then how about a walk in the garden? Sitting in the room only makes you overthink. Let’s get some fresh air and then fetch the kids from kindergarten. You’re just too idle, that’s why you overthink."

Chenxing shrugged, maybe!

...

America, Yan Family mansion, vast in size, surrounded by woods.

"The Yan Family estate is quite extensive." Bai Wuqing sincerely marveled.

Gu Shaocheng was seated on the road leading to Yan Family’s main house, drove for ten minutes after entering the Yan Family gates before reaching Elder Yan’s main residence. Although it was evening, the courtyard of the main house was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Elder Yan stood at the door of the detached villa, followed by a group of bodyguards. Watching the car slowly stop, two bodyguards stepped down to personally open the door for Gu Shaocheng.

Gu Shaocheng emerged from the car, a group of people respectfully stood on either side, enhancing the atmosphere of authority and seriousness, reflecting the importance.

Gu Shaocheng smiled as he approached to shake hands with Elder Yan: "Elder Yan, you’re still as hale and hearty as ever, your health’s better than us younger folks."

"What wind brought you here?" Elder Yan personally welcomed Gu Shaocheng inside, Bai Wuqing followed holding gifts, as Elder Yan walked he said: "Ah, aging, aging, can’t compare to you young ones. Each generation produces talents for hundreds of years, now it’s your time."

"Speaking of talents emerging, none other than your grandson fits the bill." Gu Shaocheng laughed: "These years he truly stands out, indeed the successor trained by Elder Yan."

"You mean Emperor Yan? Haha, he’s the only presentable grandson I have." Elder Yan laughed heartily, "Unfortunately, he’s not home today, otherwise he’d learn a lot from you, young ones aren’t as steady as you."

"Not home, that’s truly a shame."

As they spoke, both had reached the guest room. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Luxurious yet restrained sofas and chairs, Elder Yan himself sat in the main seat, Bai Wuqing presented the gift, "This is a small gesture from our master, I hope Elder Yan accepts it graciously."

"No need for gifts, treating me as an outsider." Elder Yan instructed for tea.

Gu Shaocheng slightly crossed his legs, "Not valuable nor expensive, heard you’ve taken a liking to Chinese ceramics recently, it’s just an unappreciated vase with me, better let you enjoy it."

This ceramic vase was Hua Hua’s, he had no interest, purchased at a sky-high price, Gu Shaocheng took the opportunity to be generous.

"Just mentioned my grandson not being home, Shaocheng is there something you need from him?"

Gu Shaocheng smiled, sipped tea: "Nothing specific, years ago he inquired about a girl’s whereabouts, now some leads, since timing’s off, let’s wait for another chance to discuss."
