Si Xing didn’t forget to get up from his desk as he rambled on. He pulled open the drawer in front of him, took out a folder, and handed it to Si Yan.

After glancing at the document in his second uncle’s hand, Si Yan stood up and swiftly buttoned his suit jacket. He looked at Si Xing with a smile and took the document from him. He replied gently, “I understand, Second Uncle. When my dad transferred this project to me a few days ago, he had already told me about it.”

“I also value this project very much, and I thought about it yesterday. Two weeks later, when the main forces set off for the northern border, I will follow them to inspect it. This will also ensure that the project is foolproof.”

Si Xing nodded in satisfaction after hearing his words. He patted Si Yan’s shoulder and replied happily, “It’s good that you have your own plans. Our family believes in you.”

Si Yan looked at his second uncle and thought of his grandfather. He pursed his thin lips as a determined and warm look appeared in his amorous and exquisite eyes. He chuckled and said, “This is something that Grandpa has been persisting for his entire life. As his grandson, I will naturally help him complete it. Isn’t this something that the Si family’s sons have always done?”

After hearing his nephew’s words, Director Si patted his shoulder in a good mood. He smiled confidently and proudly.

At this moment, Si Yan and Wen Xi, who were far away from each other, had no idea that this trip to the northern border would be the beginning of their destiny and their inevitable journey of growing up, taking risks, and settling their souls.

It was only later that Wen Xi understood this truth. God would especially pity the strong and cheerful people, and God always had a very special ‘gift’ to reward the kind and gentle people. One of those people, for example, was Wen Xi herself.

Wen Xi’s ‘gift’ was already on the way, but she had not yet noticed it.

It was 3:45 in the afternoon. According to common sense, there should be no owner at home in the villa at this time, because Chen Ze and Wen Xi were usually still working hard at the hospital.

But today, it was like a comet hitting Earth. The two busy people had returned home one after another, and the tense atmosphere between them was like a balloon filled with air. In the next second, it would explode on the spot because of the slightest movement.

Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin stood in the living room in a daze. They looked at Wen Xi, who was sitting on the sofa, and Chen Ze, who would never appear at home at this time of the day. Aunt Lin reached out and pulled on Uncle Lin’s sleeve, asking nervously in a low voice, “Have you called the main residence? I keep feeling that something’s not right today. Young Lady seems to be serious!”

Uncle Lin glanced at her from the side after hearing her words. The expression on his face was also nervous and uneasy. He replied softly, “I’ve already called them. Madam said that she’ll be here soon. She told us to keep a close eye on them, especially Young Lady.”

“Did Madam answer the phone? Aiya, why are you so muddleheaded! Today’s matter could only be turned around if Old Madam came! If you invite Madam over, wouldn’t that be causing more trouble for her? You’re well aware that she’d be more than happy knowing that Young Lady wants to divorce Young Master. She won’t be able to do anything to help persuade them to make peace with each other!”

Aunt Lin said worriedly. She clenched her hand and turned to get the phone to inform Liu Fang. However, before she could take a few steps, she suddenly heard her Young Master, who had been suppressing his anger. Aunt Lin turned around in fear.

Just a moment ago, Chen Ze and Wen Xi were still in a cold war, and no one knew what they were talking about, but now, it seemed like they were about to explode.

Chen Ze casually waved away the paper document that Wen Xi handed to him. The face that had always been calm and indifferent had already cracked at this time, almost falling apart.”You’re crazy, Wen Xi! Do you really think I don’t dare to sign it? The old man is already gone, and no one can tell me what to do with my life anymore. Don’t even think about using him to force me to do what you want!”

Wen Xi did not care about his attitude, and did not want to waste her energy explaining. She looked at Chen Ze and opened her mouth to say perfunctorily, “Yes, I’m not forcing you. So, sign it.”
