"Come on, let's go back. Chief Xia said to give us an answer in three days." Wu Yunan said happily as soon as he left the room.

"Really?" Doubt immediately arose in the crowd.

"Really, I only agreed to interfere in this matter after giving face to the latter. The latter and Chief Xia are classmates."

The aunty next door was even more surprised. With a bit of excitement, she squeezed in front of him and said, "Late autumn, when did you ever have such a high school classmate? Why didn't you say so earlier? If you knew earlier, I wouldn't have been unable to sleep these past few days."

"I... I only found out today. " She hadn't seen Xia Jingxuan for six years, so she really didn't know that he had become the head of the letters department. Moreover, even if she knew, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"Fine, then we'll just wait for Xin'er. With our classmate, Late Autumn, here, this matter must be true. Let's go, let's go back." Wu Yunan said confidently as if he had obtained Xia Jingxuan's treasured sword.

Only then did the crowd disperse, each returning home.

However, in the autumn, her eyelids kept jumping. Everyone said that the left eye jumped for wealth while the right eye jumped for disaster. As for her, she had always been jumping with her right eye.

"Mommy, it's time to eat. Why aren't you eating?" Shishi asked as she sat opposite her and put down the spoon in her hand.

"Oh, I'll eat it." It had already been three days since she had last returned from her visit and there was no news at all. The shops next door had come to her every day to ask about her, how could she know? She was just like the rest of them, waiting for Xia Jingxuan's reply.

As he ate, it didn't taste good at all.

"Late autumn, after tonight, three days will have passed. Tomorrow is the fourth day. You should go and ask that student of yours. This way, everyone will have a piece of their mind." The auntie from next door came again and refused to let her rest even after a meal.

She frowned and said in the evening, "Alright, I'll make a call early tomorrow to ask."

"Let's call now, don't drag it out until tomorrow. Does your classmate still care about making a phone call?" The aunt urged her, and even took up the phone she put aside and handed it over to her, "Call me, if there's any good news, I'll be able to sleep peacefully again tonight."

He had a heavy phone in his hand. He wanted to call her, but found that she didn't even have Xia Jingxuan's number. "Auntie, I forgot to ask for Chief Xia's number that day."

"That's easy to deal with. Wu Yunan has it. Just you wait, I'll get it for you."

After a while, the aunt came back with a piece of paper in her hand and handed it to him, "Look, Chief Xia is really easy to get close to. She even gave her phone number to Wu Yunan."

She pressed down numbers one by one, as if she was pressing down on a nail. As soon as she finished pressing, Xia Jingxuan immediately picked it up. "Hello, who is this?"

"Oh, it's late autumn." It would be awkward if he were to say his name.

"Late autumn, I'm on the street in your shop. I'll check it out after work tonight. Would you like to have a cup of coffee with me?"

She wanted to say 'no', but Xia Jingxuan didn't even give her the chance to say 'no'. She directly said, "I'll wait for you at the coffee shop on the right side of the street. See you there." After saying that, he hung up the phone with a "ding" sound.

"Mommy, are you going out?" After finishing their meal, Guo Guo held her hand and watched as autumn changed into a new coat and was about to leave.

"Mommy went out to do some work and will be back soon."

"Mommy, do you want me to go with you?" Guo Guo's little hands wouldn't let go of her.

"No need, it's on the street next door. Mommy went to see a former classmate and will be back soon."

"Well, Mommy's coming home early." Seeing that autumn had said so, Guo Guo let go of her hand.

"Mommy, if someone bullies you, just call us at home, then Guo Guo and I will go pick you up." Shi Shi watched him leave in the autumn, and suddenly said.

Late autumn broke into laughter, "Shishi, Guoguo, no one will bully Mommy."

"They also said no, that the street was sealed off because of Mommy."

"Shishi, who did you hear that from?"

"The Little Fei from Uncle Li's house in the pastry shop."

It seemed like someone had said something unpleasant about her, so Shi Shi and Guo Guo spoke in this way. She reached out her hand to touch Shi Shi's little face, her big eyes looking at her with concern, "Shi Shi, hurry up and go play with big sister. Mommy will be back soon."

This was indeed too much of a coincidence. Perhaps, it was not as good as what Xia Jing Xuan said, he just happened to meet her and didn't know why he was looking for her. It had already been a few years since they broke up, and he and Jin Ruoxue already had children.

Pushing open the coffee shop's door, in the corner facing her, Xia Jingxuan waved at her, "Late autumn, I'm here."

She walked over and sat in front of him. The waiter immediately brought a cup of coffee, and when she reached out to grab the sugar bun on the table, Xia Jingxuan's hand landed on her own. "Late Autumn, let me do it."

The touch of his skin caused the autumn to shudder. It was as if his whole body had been electrocuted. He hurriedly retracted his hand. "Chief Xia, there's no need. I'll do it myself." After saying that, he reached out to grab the sugar bun he had just picked up, then slowly spilled it into his coffee cup.

"Are you still angry at me?"

She smiled and looked up, "It's been so long, I've already forgotten. Moreover, you and I are not suitable at all."

"How can you say it's not suitable? Late autumn, give me another chance." Looking back at her eyes, Xia Jingxuan's burning gaze landed on her lips, as if she wanted to taste the sweetness on her lips.

The coffee on her lips was no longer sweet and as she listened to Xia Jingxuan's words, she actually felt disgusted. After marrying Jin Ruoxue and asking her to give him a chance, she originally thought of him as an old classmate, but now, she didn't like him at all. The hand holding the coffee slowly moved away, and the anger in her heart grew more and more intense. He poured all of his cup of coffee onto Xia Jingxuan, "Xia Jingxuan, I'll give you a chance to drink a cup of coffee. Goodbye." With that, she stood up and left.

Everyone simultaneously looked in the direction of Xia Jingxuan and her. To a man, this was a very shameful thing, but Xia Jingxuan simply smiled and stood up right after. He quickly grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "Late Autumn, don't you plan on re-establishing your store?"

This was an undisguised threat. Sure enough, he was here for her. At this moment, his intentions were clear as day.

He forcefully flung his arm, "Chief Xia, there's no need." She no longer planned to run that shop. Finding a job could feed Shi Shi and Guo Guo, but it would just be more hard on her. If not, she could go back to tutoring and washing the dishes.

In short, as long as the sky had not fallen, she could take care of Shi Shi and Guo Guo.

"Late autumn, why be so heartless? After all, we have loved each other before. Late autumn, I still love you as I always do. So, if Xue Xue lets me choose, that's why I choose you. She will not oppose it."

She didn't understand what he was still in love with and what Ruoxue was giving him to choose. She quickly ran out of the coffee shop, wanting to get as far away from Xia Jing Xuan as possible.

"Late Autumn …" Late Autumn … "Wait for me …" Xia Jingxuan anxiously shouted.

"Sir, your accounts have not been settled."

Being blocked by the coffee shop clerk like that, Nightfall quickly left for her own store. No matter who he was, she didn't want anything to do with him anymore.

"Mommy, you came back so fast. Mommy, is there any good news?" As soon as they entered, they were hugged by Shi Shi and Guo Guo.

She squatted down and hugged them one by one. Her small, fleshy body was very comfortable as she hugged them tightly. She did not want to let go, as if she could obtain strength from these two children.

"Late-autumn, is there any news from Chief Xia?" the woman next door asked, before she could say anything.

"Oh, no, no, I'm not going to open this shop. Auntie, I'm really sorry, but I can't help you."

"Late autumn, what do you mean by not opening a shop?" Ah Shuang also came forward to welcome him.

"I'm moving out. Ah Shuang, if I hire you for another month, I might not be able to pay you, so …" Gritting her teeth, she decided to say it. Otherwise, she would say it out loud sooner or later.

"What's going on? Didn't Chief Xia say everything was fine when we went to visit that day?" He said he had to get to the bottom of this, how could he … "Late autumn, could it be that all the external discussions are true?"

"What's real?" Late autumn confused, she did not know what people outside were saying about her now.

Auntie glanced at Shi Shi and Guo Guo, then dragged Wan Qiu out the door, and said in a low, secretive voice, "They all said Shi Shi and Guo were Chief Xia's children, saying that they wanted you to return to his side and be with them … "Small..."

She didn't know who created this rumor, but she knew who's children Guo Guo and Shishi were, "Auntie, it's all gone, Shishi and Guo Guo have nothing to do with Chief Xia, sorry, I'm tired, I want to rest."

With that, she walked into the store, not wanting to pay attention to the words of others. Otherwise, her heart would have died.

Xia Jingxuan really dared to do it. Wasn't he afraid that this news would affect his position as the bureau chief?
