Ch15 - Mr. Owens, it’s great to see you again (2/2)
Pulling over, Xue Ling took out the phone and called her back, rubbing his forehead in a tired gesture, “Sister, did you need me for something?”
“Little Yuan, did you pick up Xiao Mo? I just came back from the supermarket. Let’s eat at home tonight.” Wen Xiuting’s voice came over the phone, her smile obvious. Two years has been enough for her to get over her failed marriage and fall in love again.
Recently, she had met a new boyfriend, and they seemed very sweet together. She had previously mentioned that she wanted to bring him home to meet Xue Ling – it sounds like tonight is the night.
“Sounds good, do you need me to bring anything back?”
“No, I’ve bought it all.”
“Okay, is sister going to give me and Xiao Mo a surprise?”
He missed the faint blush that appeared on Wen Xiuting’s face at these words. “If you’ve already guessed, how can it be a surprise?”
“Although it’s been more than a year since you two have formally been together, it’s still the first time I’m meeting him. I should prepare properly. It wouldn’t be good if I let my sister lose face.”
“It doesn’t matter. He wouldn’t care either.” Wen Xiuting stopped talking, as if someone was speaking to her on the side. After a while, her voice came back. “The good news is that since his brother and niece are also in Country M today, our two families can also meet formally.”
Xue Ling was silent for a moment before making a sound of acknowledgement.
Dr. Walter’s clinic was in the suburbs. Xue Ling arrived at 3 p.m., two hours late. He unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, discovering that there was another car in the garage – an expensive one that seemed somewhat familiar.
Remembering the plans for a cooperation that were finalized this morning, Xue Ling felt a bit battered and abused. He patted his forehead, deeply feeling that life was really very difficult.
Although he has lived for a long time, it was his first time running a company on his own. From choosing the industry for development to recruiting, he had to struggle constantly from the startup phase through many ups and downs. Now, he has reached a point where he can discuss plans for cooperation with international conglomerates.
As long as the injection of capital goes smoothly, the future of his company will be bright, and his plan of returning to their home country to destroy Xu Yongyi can naturally begin.

Loosening his tie, Xue Ling rang the doorbell, somewhat distracted as he thought about why such a big company would give this opportunity to a small one like his…
Although it was obvious that the other party had been watching him for two years, he had never understood why. Xue Ling always found that he somehow could not see through that person’s intentions.
The assistant opened the door and Xue Ling greeted her with a smile, making her blush and even lose her balance a bit as she walked forward.
Although she was familiar with this guest, she can’t help being weak-kneed whenever he lifted his eyes and smiled at her, wanting to kneel down and lick his boots! (〒_〒)
How could anyone look so good! It’s criminal!
It was winter, but the interior was cozy and warm. When Xue Ling passed through the entrance, he heard laughter in the room and felt a touch of surprise that the children who came to see Dr. Walter could laugh so happily.
He thought that they would all be like his own Wen Mo, acting quiet and serious like a little adult all day long. He really doesn’t know where he got it from.

Entering the living room, Xue Ling narrowed his eyes.
There was a thick rug on the floor. Wen Mo was seated in the middle, accompanying a little girl to play with a helpless look on his face. The little girl used one hand to place a cup of tea in Wen Mo’s hand while the other hand held a cookie directly to Wen Mo’s mouth, smiling as she asked, “Elder brother, do you really not like it? It’s very delicious and sweet.”
Elaine is just like her adoptive father and loves sweet things. Fortunately, they are strict at home and only let her have a small amount every day. She couldn’t understand how anyone could not like sweets at all.
Wen Mo simply did not like sweet things…
Really didn’t like them…
His face was stiff, but he didn’t dare to reject the little girl out of fear that he would make her cry because of his negative words. For a while, he was really at a loss. His face was still a bit dignified, as if that piece of cookie was **.
The man’s voice was very low and even, speaking to the little girl, “Honey, just because you like it doesn’t mean that elder brother will like it. You can’t force others to like the same thing as you do, it’s very impolite.”

The little girl nodded, looked up and saw Xue Ling standing at the door of the living room.
That pair of big black eyes shone brightly.
“Cole!” She exclaimed in some surprise, “It’s a beautiful big elder brother! Just like me!”
Her words were a bit unclear, but Xue Ling knew exactly what she meant.
The little girl in front of him is very similar to him in appearance. If he hadn’t been very clear about this body’s original owner’s life story and his own actions these past years, he would have wondered whether it was his flesh and blood.
He can be absolutely certain that this was not his daughter, but that meant…
Xue Ling shifted his eyes to the man sitting on the sofa.
He was still dressed up in the same suit he had worn to their meeting this morning, hair combed back neatly. Every movement could have come out of a gentleman’s textbook and could only be described ‘noble’ and ‘upper class’.
It’s just…
Xue Ling opened his mouth to say, “Mr. Owens, it’s great to see you again.”
The man’s eyes seemed very casual as they turned in his direction. He nodded slightly and replied, “Hello.”
Merry Christmas!
