"I was tailing them, and aren't you doing the same?"

Chen Mo could be certain.

When he was tailing Liu Fei, Xu Hao was following right behind him…

It was just that he had been too worried about Xia Qingge and too focused to notice.

Otherwise, how else could one explain how it only took him a dozen seconds from taking down Liu Fei to dealing with a whole group of thugs?

It was completely unrealistic for Xu Hao to appear in front of Xia Qingge within ten seconds.

There couldn't be such a coincidence.

"I did tail Liu Fei, but I—"

Chen Mo opened his mouth, wanting to explain and then expose Xu Hao's trick.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Qingge.

"Enough."

"I thank you for stepping in to save me…"

After finishing, Xia Qingge turned her head to look at Xu Hao.

"Uncle Xu, let's go. I don't want to look at them…"

"Alright… I'll send you home."

Xia Qingge left with Xu Hao, leaving Chen Mo standing there in disarray in the wind.

"Ahhh…"

Seeing Liu Fei and the group of thugs about to leave, a furious Chen Mo struck out once more, beating the lot of them half to death.

[Ding… Chen Mo's mentality has shattered, Emotion Points +888…]

"Uncle Xu, you should come to my house this time."

"My dad happens to be home too, and he was planning to invite Uncle Xu over as a guest these past couple of days to thank you for helping me get a promotion."

Arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, Xia Qingge extended the invitation to Xu Hao once again.

After a moment of thought, Xu Hao wore a playful expression and smiled.

"Alright, then I'll go up and sit for a bit…"

…

Publishing at twelve noon, begging on my knees for subscriptions, begging for auto-subscriptions!

048 Everything is settled for tonight! Falling in love! The female lead kneels in gratitude…

"Alright, then I'll go up and sit for a bit…"

Since the little female lead had extended such a sincere invitation, it would be unreasonable for him to refuse again.

Given Xia Qingge's closeness to him, coupled with the fact that he had just replaced Chen Mo to save her, she was right in the middle of being deeply touched.

All he needed was an opportunity, and this little female lead could be taken by him as a plaything in the palm of his hand.

Seeing Xu Hao agree, a smile blossomed on Xia Qingge's face, and her heart bloomed with joy.

All along, it had always been Xu Hao showing her care and concern, yet she hadn't returned anything in kind.

Today, Xu Hao had appeared precisely when she was helpless, bringing her a full sense of security…

She had understood the principle of repaying kindness since she was a child.

Inviting Xu Hao to her home for a meal and cooking a big feast with her own hands could be considered a small repayment.

Xia Qingge immediately prepared to lead the way in front, only to find that Xu Hao hadn't followed.

Turning back to look, she saw Xu Hao open the trunk of the car.

With a subtle thought, from his Pocket Dimension, he took out one bottle from among the ten bottles of 52-year-old maotai.

How could a meal do without good wine?

Today, he planned to drink heavily with Xia Dahai.

This was also an opportunity he was manufacturing…

When Xia Dahai got drunk and lost consciousness, there would only be him and Xia Qingge left in the house.

For a lone man and woman to have something happen between them, wasn't that completely normal?

Putting on an act as if he had taken it out from the car, Xu Hao hugged the jar of wine and walked toward Xia Qingge while saying,

"Your dad and I have known each other for so many years, and whenever we eat together, we always have a little drink. Today, I've brought out my prized fine wine…"

Xia Qingge thought it was a gift from Xu Hao and was prepared to refuse it.

Inviting Xu Hao to be a guest at her home was to thank him for looking after her.

How could she accept a gift?

But upon hearing Xu Hao's explanation, she opened her mouth, and then swallowed her words back down.

Walking into the residential complex, they arrived at Xia Ge's home.

She took out her key and unlocked the door.

Seeing Xia Dahai sitting on the sofa looking over documents, Xia Qingge said with deliberate mystery,

"Dad… look who I brought back?"

Xia Dahai furrowed his brow.

Who would his daughter bring home?

Could it be that mysterious boyfriend?

Glancing at the balcony at the 999 roses that had been meticulously tended to, a very mixed feeling arose in his heart…

It felt as though the Chinese cabbage he had spent over 20 years raising was about to be arched by a pig.

Just on an evening a few days ago,

on his way home from working overtime, remembering that today was his daughter's birthday, he bought a birthday cake to take back.

He had prepared to give his daughter a surprise.

As a result, there was no surprise, only a scare.

The moment he returned home, he saw his daughter hugging a bouquet of roses in a daze, smiling brilliantly…

Ever since she was little, his daughter had never lacked pursuers.

She had always been a good girl who never accepted flowers or gifts from pursuers.

But what was going on today?

She brought a bouquet of roses home, and it was even heart-shaped.

And she looked completely like she had fallen in love…

A bad premonition surged into his heart.

Could his daughter be in a relationship?

Could it be that brat from the Liu Family?

That was a scumbag trash who idled around, knew only how to indulge in pleasure, and play with women.

After a round of questioning, he ultimately didn't get a definitive answer.

Good news: The flowers weren't sent by that Young Master Liu, and his daughter detested that Young Master Liu.

Bad news: His daughter had indeed accepted flowers from some man and was deeply infatuated with him.

Because of this, Xia Dahai had been emo for several days…

But no matter how he pursued the questioning, wanting to find out who that man was,

his daughter wouldn't say.

Could it be that today, his daughter brought that mysterious boyfriend home?

His heart tightening, Xia Dahai's Spirit gave a jolt as he looked over with a scrutinizing gaze.

When he saw Xu Hao walk through the front door, he was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Big Brother Xu, you came without even letting me know, so I could go downstairs to welcome you…"

Xia Qingge found a pair of new shoes for Xu Hao to change into.

As Xu Hao changed his shoes, he said nonchalantly,

"Welcome what? We've been friends for so many years, there's no need to be so polite."

Xia Dahai was deeply moved in his heart.

Being able to know a friend as refined, gentle, and completely unpretentious as Xu Hao was his lifelong honor.
