Abby walked closer and found him on the phone. He looked a bit serious, so he didn't disturb him.

Xi Empire's master glanced at her and then turned his head away.

”I have always remembered our agreement. Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise.”

The caller was Chen Shao Huan. Surprised by the call, Xi Shuo took a closer look at the caller and confirmed that it was within his expectations.

Chen Shao Huan returned from his morning practice and sat in his study room, watching the sun slowly rise outside his window. The corners of his lips curled upwards.

”Young man, don't be too full of yourself. When the time comes, you will not be able to fulfill your promise to me, and I will still bring Little Xi'er back, despite her wishes. ”

”I won't give you that chance.”

His tone was arrogant and domineering as well, as if this was his true face.

Chen Shaohuan raised his eyebrows. ”I only want the results.” I don't care about how you went through it, but you have to remember, you have to guarantee little Xi Er's safety, and not let anyone bully her. ”

”If you can't even do that, don't talk about anything else.”

He had just received some bad news and was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

”I understand!”

Xi's eyelids drooped as he looked at Abby's face reflected in the window.

”It's good that you understand. I hope this is the last time I've heard of Little Xi'er being bullied. And the next time …”

”There won't be a next time, because she's my life. I won't let anyone harm her.”

On the other end of the phone, Chen Shao Huan was silent for a while. A playful look could be seen in his eyes that were as black as the night.

He said nothing and hung up.

Xi Zhe looked at the dim screen of his phone and put it away.

”Hubby, you're back?”

Abby rushed over to her and handed her the briefcase to avoid her touch.

He strode into the living room, Abby trailing behind him with difficulty.

When she got back to the living room, Xi's shadow was no longer there.

”Where's Young Master?” She tilted her head to look at the butler who was not far away, and her face turned ugly.

”Reporting to Young Mistress, Young Master has gone to take a bath.”
