The roar of planes landing and taking off filled the background. A man holding two suitcases stood at the exit, waiting for someone.
He wore a long beige windbreaker, half his face buried in a white scarf, and the tip of his ears were pink.

The weather was so cold that the hands holding a suitcase were slightly reddened. Tired of waiting, he stamped his feet impatiently.
A short while later another person rushed over and held a cup of warm milk to his face. “Sorry to make you wait. The weather is so cold that there were many people lining up to buy hot drinks.” He adjusted the other party’s scarf for him and took back one of the suitcases.
“Why did we meet a cold current when we returned… Am I so unwelcome?” The slightly shorter man looked up at the sky, face full of grievance. He asked, “Is it really okay to leave my sister and your brother behind in Country M? I’m worried they won’t be able to look after the two little ones properly.”
“Wen Mo is well behaved and little Elaine also won’t make trouble, let alone they also have nannies. Since they want to be parents, they should learn how to take care of children.”
Xue Ling looked at Mr. Cole with some surprise and sighed. “Hearing this kind of thing from your mouth always gives me an incongruous feeling.”
Mr. Cole shut up.
That evening’s dinner was somewhat unpalatable. With Cole’s acquiescence, Xue Ling directly laid out the facts regarding Elaine’s birth and past. Even Doyle had not known about such a secret, so when they heard about it, both he and Wen Xiuting were stunned.

Wen Xiuting didn’t get a good look at little Elaine when they first arrived because the little girl was in Cole’s arms. After carefully looking at her, she burst into tears.
Elaine did not know what happened, but was suddenly told that the beautiful big brother was her uncle, the beautiful aunt was her mother, and the little elder brother was her real brother. Although she was smart, she was still only three years old and there were many things she didn’t understand. But it was also good like this, as it would only take some time for them to make up for their past mistakes.
Wen Xiuting kept Elaine in her arms all night. Seeing that she cried until her eyes were red, Cole also felt somewhat sorry and agreed with Xue Ling and his younger brother’s suggestion to have Elaine move in with the Wen family.
It must be said that this method of shouldering one’s way into the family was worth learning from. This morning, they were still merely business partners that finalized a partnership. By evening, they had already become a part of the family. When the butler Wenbert brought over a change of clothes and other necessities, he almost wanted to kneel down and worship his own master.
He always thought that his master was extremely stifled and stingy with words. It had already been two years, and he was unable to get even a single centimetre closer the other party. He didn’t expect him to be this successful once he made his move, just short of directly climbing into the other party’s bed. The Owens family should have a matriarch soon.
They stayed for a week to let Elaine adapt to life with the Wen family and to make sure there would be no problems before Cole had Xue Ling book their tickets to Country H.

Although he wasn’t clear whether a certain someone planned to stir up the muddy waters or simply came along to watch a show, Xue Ling did not prevent him from coming. The battle he was planning to fight still more or less required some backstage support. Since Mr. Cole did not say that he could not use his name, then according to the principle of making full use of what he’s been given, Xue Ling wouldn’t mind bringing out said name to smack Xu Yongyi’s face.
In the dark, hazy winter of City X, everyone was rushing around in a hurry. Xue Ling brought out the face masks he had prepared, standing on tiptoes to put one on for Mr. Cole. Pulling along the suitcase, he said, “Let’s go. We’ll first head to the hotel, then go to the company to look for them tomorrow~”
He knew where they lived, but it wouldn’t be as sensational as meeting them at the company.
Even if it made him seem somewhat crude, Xue Ling wasn’t picky about the methods he used, as long as it made a lot of noise.
Since he had come back, he definitely mustn’t let Xu Yongyi and Bai Luzi off easily.
Cole touched the mask on his face and stroked the ear that had just been brushed by that man, the roots of his ears turned slightly red.
This should be novel experience – going out without his butler or driver. He brought his bodyguards, but, afraid the other party might have misgivings, asked them to hide themselves. This feeling of traveling side by side as if it were just the two of them was very special, and Cole felt a little addicted to it.
They all said that he liked Wen Xiuyuan, but in fact he himself did not know how to categorize that feeling…

At first, it was clearly only because when he stepped onto the stage, his manner and demeanour closely resembled the mysterious and vague oriental figure that often appeared in his dreams…
It was snowing the next morning, snowflakes lazily drifting down. Xue Ling looked outside from their vantage point in the upper levels of the building and found that most of the city was covered in a layer of white.
His trip back this time could be considered a business trip on the surface, as his company had a contract to discuss here. At the same time, he also used the name of the company to make an appointment with Xu Yongyi. Last night he even specifically confirmed the appointment to prevent being stopped from entering the company by the Xu family.
That would really be silly.
Wen’s family’s business group changed its name two years ago. The growth of their enterprises was booming. A year ago, because they achieved good results, they even moved into a new building. Xu Yongyi’s feelings of inferiority from his countryside roots also slowly receded. In this period of time, he became increasingly lax with his management, and the things Xue Ling discovered were already enough to put him in prison for the rest of his life.
Bai Luzi won the championship of an international design contest a year ago and was named as the pioneer of cutting-edge designers by the media. Now was the best time of her career. Xu Yongyi invested and set up a company for her, and she received many clients from the upper class for her high-end custom designs. It sounded very grand, but the waters were very deep: It also doubled as a channel for Xu Yongyi to contact business partners and others in the upper echelons of society.
Cole woke up before him and had already them ordered breakfast. He walked over to stand with Xue Ling by the window and stood for a while before opening his mouth to ask. “Do you need me to accompany you?”

Xue Ling tilted his head slightly, amused. “Have the distinguished Mr. Owens be my lackey and trash other people’s place? Isn’t that a little over the top?
