Chapter 280: Chapter 280 Xu Yixue’s Sense of Crisis_1

“Be careful, sweetie!” Seeing Tongtong excitedly push open the door to Xu Yixue’s office, Xu Fan followed behind, calling out with concern.

“Mommy, Tongtong is here to see you, Tongtong missed you so much!” Tongtong, who had opened the door, saw Xu Yixue sitting at the boss’s desk and said with a smile as bright as flowers.

Upon hearing the familiar, sweet voice, Xu Yixue, who was discussing company affairs with Ye Xiaoning, was momentarily stunned, then turned to look at the door.

Sure enough, there was Tongtong, with her tiny twin pigtails, excitedly running toward Xu Yixue on her little legs.

“My precious girl, mommy missed you so much!” The solemn look on Xu Yixue’s face swept away, and she instantly broke into a happy smile. She quickly stood up from her boss’s chair and went to meet Tongtong.

Tongtong also spread her chubby arms wide and hurled herself into Xu Yixue’s embrace. When she reached her, she even tiptoed to peck Xu Yixue’s flawless face gently.

“Kiss kiss, baby, mommy missed you to death.” Xu Yixue scooped up the adorably irresistible Tongtong and blissfully planted a kiss on her face as well.

“Mommy, mommy, daddy and I have been waiting for you downstairs for such a long time, we didn’t see you coming down so we came up, are you going to work overtime?” Tongtong asked Xu Yixue with her lips pursed, a hint of innocence in her voice.

It was clear that during the time she had waited for Xu Yixue at the reception, Tongtong had really wanted to see her mother. However, the thoughtful Tongtong did not mention this to her boss, Xu Fan.

When Xu Yixue heard Tongtong’s words, she extended her fair wrist, which was adorned with an exquisite Patek Philippe diamond watch, and glanced at the time. She was taken aback; without realizing it, she had discussed business with Ye Xiaoning in the office for a whole hour. It was now twenty past six. The company usually finished at six, and they had already gone twenty-some minutes over.

“Oh dear, mommy was discussing things with your auntie and didn’t watch the time. I accidentally went over without noticing. Tongtong won’t be mad at mommy, will you?” Xu Yixue gently rubbed her cheek against Tongtong’s baby-soft skin and asked tenderly.

“Mommy, what’s wrong, did Tongtong make you unhappy somewhere?” Seeing Xu Yixue’s face turn frosty in an instant, Tongtong also sensitively sensed that something was amiss.

“Hmph, you and your philandering dad, where have you been playing today, and which pretty sister have you met?” asked Xu Yixue, her face easing slightly as she gently prodded Tongtong.

“Eh... Daddy took Tongtong to a big manor today, and even treated an old man’s illness. Their family’s garden is so big, full of pretty flowers, and there are lots of pretty butterflies flying over the flowers, Tongtong really wanted to catch a butterfly, but Tongtong is too short, I couldn’t reach them.” Tongtong’s thoughts instantly drifted to the Phoenix Manor in the outskirts of Zhonghai City.

The Sun Family, after all, is the leading family in Zhonghai City, and their Phoenix Manor is designed to be a rejuvenating haven for Elder Sun. They have planted almost every kind of seasonally blooming flower in the garden.

Moreover, the garden has a very magical place—that is a hot spring right next to it. The hot spring water from this spring is not only rich in elements needed by various plants but also has a temperature that is just right, not too cold nor too hot. Even in winter, with the irrigation of the hot spring water, the flowers in the garden can bloom tirelessly.

Thus, Tongtong’s memories were, in fact, more impressed by Elder Sun’s garden.

“Garden? Butterflies? Didn’t you say there were pretty sisters admiring your dad?” Xu Yixue couldn’t quite keep up with Tongtong’s jumping thoughts and didn’t know what Tongtong was getting at.

“There were pretty sisters, yeah. That pretty sister even took me around the garden to study flowers. Now Tongtong knows the names of many flowers, and I also know they are all precious medicinal materials, like honeysuckle, peony, rose, chrysanthemum...” Tongtong lifted her little face, excitedly telling Xu Yixue.

“Hm? Is there a beautiful young lady who studies medicine and has developed admiration for Xu Fan?” A sense of alertness suddenly struck Xu Yixue’s heart, and she instantly became keenly aware.

Although Xu Yixue was utterly dismissive of Xu Fan, his various abilities still left quite a shock in her heart.

Even though Xu Yixue did not consider Xu Fan her man, hearing that some other miss has shown fondness for Xu Fan—

It was like a cat guarding its food. I may not like eating this brand of cat food, but it’s definitely not okay for someone else to eat it.
