Latiao turned around after finishing the sentence. He raised his hand and waved with his back to Xie Xize.

He looked absolutely clumsy and amusing.

However, Xie Xize was not amused by it.

At first, he thought the child was just a naughty little brat. However, he had a strange feeling about this kid, a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart, something he had never felt before.

He was never so patient with his nephews, nor did he have the approachability to play with them.

However, he did not even consider rejecting the kid’s unreasonable requests. He actually found it amusing.

But now, he had a feeling that the kid knew everything about him.

What a strange kid…

He was like a little monster that had appeared out of nowhere!

The bodyguards had already caught up to their boss. They only dared to come closer when they noticed that the little brat was gone. “Sir?…”

Xie Xize’s grim face soon returned to calm. He nudged his glasses and said, “Tell the CEO that I’m looking for someone.”

Xie Xize had a strong feeling that the person peeking at him from behind was Mo Yangyang.

He put on a neutral face, and began to emit an extraordinary, dangerous aura.

“And… find me the information about that kid.”

“Got it!”

Xie Xize’s assistant came up to him, “Sir, Deputy Mayor Luo is inviting you to a dinner tonight. Are you going?”

“Turn it down.”

The assistant said, “Err… Miss He is still waiting for you. She says her land is perfect for what you need.”

Xie Xize frowned, and his eyes flickered impatiently, “Don’t let her come to me again.”

The assistant nodded, “Understood!”

The assistant was slightly curious. That Miss He had been chasing their professor for many years. He was never concerned about her before, but now, he suddenly decided not to see her again.

Why would that be? Was it because of the kid?

Speaking of which, how was the kid even related to the professor?

Their professor was acting very strangely today!

The assistant had countless questions in his mind, but he decided to stick to his duty. “We are going back to Xiacheng at two tomorrow afternoon.”

Xie Xize did not reply at first. He suddenly said when they were in the elevator, “Postpone our trip back to Xiacheng.”

“How many days should I postpone it for?”

“I’ll let you know when we are going back.”

“Got it!” The assistant did not say a further word.

He Xinyue gathered her courage when she saw Xie Xize. She decided to approach him again.

“Senior…”

She was still confident in herself. She was pretty, smart, she had brilliant academic achievements, and she had a formidable background, too! She did not want to give up, even if Xie Xize already had a child.

An outstanding woman like her was the right fit for a man like him!

No one else was worthy of him!

Xie Xize did not avoid her this time. He said calmly, “Miss He, strictly speaking, I’m not your senior. You have no ties to scientific research. It’s disrespectful for you to call me that.”

It was the first time Xie Xize had said so many words to He Xinyue at once. They were the harshest kind, too.

The mood that He Xinyue finally got herself into crumbled instantly. “I…”

“Miss He, you’re a merchant, and it’s a merchant’s nature to pursue their interests, but I’m not interested in becoming your merchandise.”

He Xinyue bit her lips and asked, “Senior, why?”

She was still referring to him as her senior!

Xie Xize walked past her and said, “Miss He, it’s pretty convenient that you are at the hospital now. You should really arrange for a brain check-up.”
