Xia Yanyu then led Xu Fan to her car and together, they got in.

She started the engine and slowly drove away from the Xia Group headquarters.

It was now noon, and Xia Yanyu was thinking about finding a place to have lunch with Xu Fan, and then, she would ask him about her sister's situation in Shanghai.

Sitting in the driver's seat and driving the car, Xia Yanyu was preoccupied with many thoughts.

On this day, Xu Fan had appeared in Jinling and brought such a surprise, and to be honest, she was truly moved.

But when she thought of her sister, she felt hesitant to accept the surprise Xu Fan had brought her.

After hesitating for a while and unable to come to a conclusion, she could only put aside the dilemma for now.

She took a deep breath and then looked over at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, thank you for the roses just now, happy 520."

She felt that no matter what, she had to thank Xu Fan for everything he had done for her.

After all, this was the first time he had given her flowers.

And... such an impressive sea of flowers at that.

"It's nothing; those flowers weren't even bought by me," Xu Fan explained nonchalantly.

Shriek!

Upon hearing this, Xia Yanyu immediately hit the brakes.

Confused, she looked at Xu Fan.

"What... what do you mean?"

She wondered if all of this had been prepared by someone else for him.

Xu Fan scratched his nose and said, "Those roses were probably prepared by one of your admirers."

"Yeah, and I have to say, they were quite beautiful. I should have taken a photo."

"..."

Listening to Xu Fan's explanation, Xia Yanyu couldn't help but stretch her mouth into a grimace.

So the flowers were from someone else, and he was just presenting another's offering to Buddha?

This guy...

And to think she had just been so touched, all for nothing!

"You're annoying!"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and then, Xia Yanyu punched Xu Fan with a small fist.

Xu Fan laughed and caught Xia Yanyu's fair little hand.

"What? My CEO Miss, were you hoping I'd send you flowers?"

"No... No, I wasn't..."

Feeling the warmth from Xu Fan's firm grip on her hand, Xia Yanyu became somewhat nervous and, with a flush on her face, pulled her hand back.

At that moment, Xia Yanyu's phone started to ring.

Xu Fan glanced at it and guessed that it must be that guy calling.

Sure enough, as soon as Xia Yanyu answered the phone, the other person began to complain incessantly.

The grievances Xu Fan had caused were so great that it was just short of swearing in front of Xia Yanyu.

Xu Fan listened unperturbed.

In such a situation, how could anyone not be angry... he must understand him.

"What? You hung up already?"

Seeming not very keen on listening to the complaints about Xu Fan, Xia Yanyu hung up the phone in less than ten seconds.

Xu Fan saw this and couldn't help but ask.

Xia Yanyu sighed and shook her head, "I'm not very acquainted with him; we only had a blind date once before."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yanyu realized that her words might have been inappropriate.

She immediately looked at Xu Fan.

"Xu Fan, it's not, listen to my explanation, that blind date, it was arranged by my mother, I..."

Fearing that this might cause a misunderstanding, Xia Yanyu's face was filled with anxiety.

"Sorry, I..."

But before she could finish explaining, Xia Yanyu began to apologize.

In the past, her mother had prepared many such blind dates for her.

However, she had always turned them down without even meeting the person.

The reason she agreed this time was because of Xu Fan.

"As for Xiaodie, I really don't know what to do, I..."

Falling in love with the man her sister liked was truly a mistake for her.

Xia Yanyu had thought about correcting it in time, but she found that, aside from Xu Fan, she could no longer fall in love with any other man.

She agreed to her mother's request to have a meal with that guy.

But after only a few words, she found an excuse to leave.

"Xu Fan, if you're angry, you... you can hit me..."

"..."

Watching Xia Yanyu's pleading expression, Xu Fan shook his head with a mix of laughter and tears.

How could he not understand Xia Yanyu's dilemma?

This matter was indeed not so easy to resolve.

"Alright, stop it."

"Do you think I have the heart to hit you?"

They were now stopped on the road, and if they stayed any longer, the people behind would start cursing, so Xu Fan looked at Xia Yanyu and said, "Alright, let's find a place to sit down first."

"There's something I want to tell you later."

"Mhm."

Xia Yanyu nodded and then drove to the restaurant.

Soon, they arrived at their destination, parked the car, and with Xu Fan, Xia Yanyu entered the private room of the restaurant.

After ordering the dishes, Xu Fan said, "Actually, Xiaodie's prejudice against you has lessened."

At the jewelry store opening last time, Xia Yanyu had sent Xiaodie a flower basket.

She had already begun to regret it by then, and with the story of Feng Huang and Silver Fox, the siblings, right before her eyes, she indeed had less of a prejudice against Xia Yanyu.

After all, the two were blood sisters. Although Xia Xiaodie had not reached out to Xia Yanyu of her own volition, it was only because that girl was proud.

"This matter, it's not your fault to begin with."

Actually, Xu Fan felt that it was fate that was to blame.

And even, he himself was responsible.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Even Xu Fan himself didn't know how to handle this issue.

Realistically letting go of one of the two sisters was something he just couldn't do now.

The current situation was simply one to take step by step.

"The main reason I came back to Jinling this time is that there are some things I want to talk to you about."

At this moment, Xu Fan looked at Xia Yanyu and asked, "Have you had any leads on your father these years?"

"This?"

Xia Yanyu was somewhat baffled when Xu Fan suddenly asked about her father.

Her father had been missing for many years now, and although she had always felt that her father wasn't dead yet, there had been no news of him for so long that holding onto this sliver of hope was merely self-deception.

"Xu Fan, have you... have you heard something?"

Worried that Xu Fan was about to bring news of her father's death, Xia Yanyu looked at him, her clenched fists sweating.

Xu Fan nodded, saying, "The information should be correct."

"Your father should still be alive."

"What!"

Upon hearing this news, Xia Yanyu couldn't help but be overjoyed!

Xu Fan couldn't possibly be joking about this!

Father! Father was still alive!

"Xu Fan, how exactly did you come to know about this?"

Seeing Xia Yanyu asking, Xu Fan took a deep breath and said, "This is a long story, why don't you tell me about Xia Sanjiu first?"

Xu Fan was contemplating whether he could first get some information about Xia Sanjiu from Xia Yanyu.
