“Do not let anyone know my identity, especially Jing Xi.”

“Then...”

“My surname is Huo. You can call me Mr. Huo.”

Jing Zhannan knew that Zeus had always kept a low-profile. He obeyed. “Yes, Mr. Huo!”

When he got out of the ward, Jing Zhannan let out a deep sigh of relief. He was propelled by an indescribable surge of emotion, and he hastened his steps.

He really wanted to ask his niece how she became friends with Zeus.

In the base, Xu Xiyan was becoming desperate.

Two days had passed. Her uncle had not returned yet and there was still no news from the hospital.

Her bag and her personal belongings had been retrieved, but her mobile phone was broken. It was no longer usable and she had no way to get in touch with Huo Yunshen.

There was no point asking Ye Xun for help either. That guy was literally the god of jealousy and he was not willing to help her.

Xu Xiyan dressed herself neatly and came out of her room. She was planning to go to Likee to inquire about Huo Yunshen. Just as she was about to leave, Ye Xun got in her way.

“Little Xixi, where are you going?”

“I’m going out for a breather,” Xu Xiyan said irritably.

“Don’t think that I don’t know where you’re going. You’re going to find that Huo guy.” Ye Xun crossed his arms, looking mean.

“Yes, what about it? It’s been two days. I don’t even know whether he is dead or alive. I can’t just stay here and do nothing,” Xu Xiyan said angrily.

Ye Xun said sourly, “Look at you, going all gaga with that brat! Back when I got injured from a mission and was hospitalized, you were never anxious for me!”

“I wasn’t close to you at that time, okay?!”

Back then, Xu Xiyan had only come to Estan for a few months and the two of them had just become acquainted.

“Not close? If you weren’t close to me, why did you grab my hand and not let me go at that time? Don’t forget who sent you to the hospital, don’t forget who signed the surgery consent form, and don’t forget who received the child from the doctor’s hands!”

Whenever Ye Xun got agitated, he would get into the habit of stating the obvious.

Xu Xiyan was starting to get a headache. “Okay, okay, okay! I know! I’ll never forget your great and gracious deeds in this life. You’re our savior, both Ying Bao’s and mine.”

“I don’t want to be your savior.”

“Then, what do you want?” Xu Xiyan rolled her eyes at this entitled lordling. He was really hard to please.

Ye Xun lifted his chin and said haughtily, “I want to be Ying Bao’s father.”

Xu Xiyan almost fell to the ground to grovel before him. She spread out her hands and said, “You’re already a father! A stepfather of 4 years! What else do you want?”

“I don’t just want to be a father in name. I want...”

He wanted to be a real father, the kind who could rightfully sleep with Ying Bao’s mother.

Xu Xiyan looked over Ye Xun’s shoulders and exclaimed, “Eh? Big senior!”

Ye Xun thought that his big senior had come back. He turned to look but he didn’t see anyone. When he turned back, Xu Xiyan was gone.

That girl was simply a cunning devil. She had slipped away when he was not looking.

Xu Xiyan was almost out of the base when she saw a military jeep coming in. She took a glance at the special number plate on the car and knew that her uncle was back.

Without hesitation, Xu Xiyan rushed to the middle of the road and spread out her arms to stop the jeep.

The military vehicle came to a screeching stop. Nightfall’s personal driver, Mr. De, stuck his head out of the car and started to curse, “Bastard! Don’t you have eyes?! You think you can stop the commander’s car at your own whim?”

“I’m sorry, Mr. De! I’ll grow a pair of eyes next time!” Xu Xiyan saluted him, pursing her lips into a smile.

“Oh dear, aren’t you Miss Xixi?”
