The jade public market was the age of jade raw materials trading.

The most common area was Yunnan, Myanmar, Laos, and others.

It was a rather unique and fair auction style. Normally, it would take around 10 days, mainly divided into secret and public bids, with the latter accounting for less than one-fifth of the objects. However, the risk was small. Generally, there would be cuts on the surface of the raw stone. Since it was an open auction, as long as you were willing to pay, you could get it. Of course, a clear bid did not guarantee you could get the raw stone.

This time, the L Country public market was new with a newly mined stone bed. So it only last five days. The first three days were dark bidding when everyone could participate, while the next two days were public bidding.

According to the plan, Xu Liancheng wanted Zhuang Momo to buy most of the money directly. Although a bit expensive, the odds were high. Even if he lost money, he shouldn't lose too much. Moreover, he was also advertising for Xu Enterprise by throwing money. However, Lan Mu's self-recommendation made him change his plan and made a hero like him useless.

Since he could make money, there was no need for him to let Zhuang Momo spend money on advertisements.

Therefore, he spread the news that he would represent Xu Enterprise attending the KDF International Summit.

Actually...

Isn't showing his face also considered attending?

Looking at his newly modified schedule, Xu Liancheng was proud. He was clever. He first went to participate in the opening ceremony of the next KDF and gave the mask to Tony who mimic his sound. Then, he could openly accompany his wife in the public market. The natural hot spring in Country L was so famous that Momo would go. He could appreciate his little wife's beautiful figure. By the way, he could also guard against perverts.

He understood the foreigner's aesthetic taste too well. Zhuang Momo, who looked pure and tall with black hair and an oval face, met the standard of Eastern beauties in those foreigners! He did not even need to think to know how popular Zhuang Momo was over there.

So, he didn't mean to skip work. He was protecting his woman. Was there something wrong with it? Of course, there wasn't!

Mr. Xu's self-suggestion was successful, and he ignored his subordinate's darkened face.

The capable team member, Tony, knew he couldn't escape the fate of going out. But despite his fate, he asked, "Your plan is fine. But may I ask, I'm leaving. Madam is gone. You are not here yet. Is it okay for Young Master to be alone at home?"

"You should know children from a family with a second child will be sensitive. Although Bixi is mature enough, he is a child. He also has joys and sorrows, and his health is not good."

"You are right."

Xu Liancheng fell silent.

That was indeed the case. His son was a strong-minded child who could easily imagine many plots. He had heard the housekeeper say more than once in the past few days that he had been in a daze recently. Occasionally, he would talk to himself. Although he was not unhappy, there was something wrong. It was just that his psychologist and Zhuang Momo had not discovered the problem yet.

But, bring his son along?

This was not part of Mr. Xu's plan. On the one hand, he couldn't spend much time with Zhuang Momo since he would fly on both sides. Secondly, the location of L Country's public market this time was at the border of H Country. Meanwhile, H Country was in internal strife because of the change in leadership. It didn't seem safe. The sole heir of the Xu family could easily become a target. Although he was unlikely to be killed, there were chances of kidnappings.

If he could stand it, Zhuang Momo would probably collapse, not to mention that she was still pregnant.

However...

Should he change the plan?

Mr. Xu hated the feeling of all his plans being messed up. Of course, it was his fault this time, because he told his son every plan...

He picked up his phone and flipped through the few contacts in boredom.

People in the old house. Xu Bixi despised those children for being stupid. Pass.

Xiao Tianyi...The lovelorn patient went on a business trip again. Pass

Shen Linfeng...

That was right! Shen Linfeng! Bixi liked him very much. Moreover, he was idle recently. Xu Liancheng's eyes instantly lit up with excitement. He directly asked someone to call Xu Bixi over.

"Bixi, your Uncle Shen has been sad recently. Every day, he is drinking to relieve his sorrow. Why don't you accompany him?"

When Xu Bixi heard this, he was stunned. Did his father not wake up? Was his brain not working yet? Not to mention that he was not a girl. He could not fill the empty heart of others. There was no reason to say that an adult was lovelorn and let a child accompany him.

"And then?" Xu Bixi, who felt something wrong, said indifferently. No matter what it was, he would not be easily fooled!

"Then, your Mommy and I will go on a business trip. If you stay at home alone, we will worry about you," Xu Liancheng said seriously. His tone was calm. Recently, he had been practicing how to become a loving father. After all, he had to welcome his daughter. He could be serious about his son. But as for his daughter, he couldn't help but be gentle when thinking she was his little cotton-padded jacket.

"I feel the person worrying about me should be Mommy, right?" Mr. Xu's gentle policy did not seem to be successful. Xu Bixi was not moved and answered him directly.

Xu Liancheng, "..."

He was peechless, conflicted, and angry. In the end, he became deeply helpless. Xu Liancheng suddenly reached out and pulled his son into his arms. He rubbed him hard, "What makes you think I don't care about you? I just don't know how to express it. But Bixi, I can promise you my love for you is no less than any father in this world."

"Hmm?"

Xu Bixi was stunned.

Tony also looked at his boss in disbelief.

Of course, they all knew Xu Liancheng loved Xu Bixi, but he could say it himself. It was as if the sun had risen from the west.

"Alright, I can't do anything if you don't believe me. But I can't bring you along this time," Xu Liancheng restrained his gentleness and returned to his serious appearance. To be honest, it took a lot of courage for him to say those words.

"But it's fine if you don't want to go there. Take care of yourself at home. I'll call you every day," Xu Liancheng added. Then, he turned his attention to the computer and pretended to be busy. His heart was stuffy. It seemed that his gentle policy was not suitable for him.

Xu Bixi lowered her little face and said nothing. Her cheeks felt gentle.

The action of touching the head was not only suitable for couples. Similarly, it was also effective between father and son. This was the first time he had been treated so gently. Although his father's palm was rough, it was slightly warm.

But the most important thing was Xu Liancheng's words.

He explained!

Even though this explanation didn't work, it was an improvement, wasn't it?

Because he was immersed in this surprise, he did not react in the first place and missed someone's loneliness.

Only when he was about to leave the room holding hands with Tony did he turn his head back as if having woken up from a dream.

"Daddy. I am willing."

"What?" Xu Liancheng put down her pen, a trace of astonishment flashing across her beautiful face.

"That's right. You don't have to explain. I understand you. I will call you, too. Take good care of yourself outside!" Xu Bixi spoke quickly. Then, he saw an incredulous expression on his father's face. Even his sexy lips curved into an unusual angle. He suddenly let go of his master's hand and ran toward Xu Liancheng. He stood on tiptoe and kissed Xu Liancheng on the face.

Pop—

Xu Bixi, who had succeeded in his sneak attack, ran away with a smile.

However, Mr. Xu, who received attention from the crowd, was dumbfounded.

Was he kissed by his son who took the initiative?

Wasn't this little guy independent since young and didn't like other people touching him? He remembered when he was a child, he wanted to put his son on his head like in the TV series and play childish but easy games to enhance their parent-child relationship.

However, he didn't expect that...

"Daddy, you are so boring."

"These are all things that only children need. I am already a big child. Such childish actions are not suitable for us."

Yes, that was right. At that time, Mr. Xu was abandoned by his son.

Later, he didn't do anything. All parent-child projects were abandoned. In addition, Xu Bixi was in poor health and couldn't go to a normal school to study. He had to be hospitalized when it came to changing seasons and cooling. It could be said the most time he accompanied him was in the hospital. Xu Bixi was in a transfusion while he was working with a computer, one night after another.

The little fellow had already run away. Xu Liancheng raised his hand and touched his cheek. There was still residual warmth on it.

Facing the sizing eyes of his subordinates, he coughed very calmly.

"Are you all very free?"

"Are you done with your work?"

The crowd did not reply and obediently returned to their posts.

However, their eyes were looking at him from time to time as they smiled kindly. They understood everything.

"If you feel happy, kiss him back the next time you see Bixi," Bill muttered at the side.

Xu Liancheng glanced at him coldly and pressed a thick stack of documents in his hand, "Work overtime tonight. I want it tomorrow. Don't ask others to help you."

"Don't. Today is Friday. Tomorrow is the weekend. It's already painful to work normally. You can't exploit me like this, my boss," Bill exaggerated.

"You said that this job is hard. How can it be worthy of your title as a model worker if you don't do overtime?" Xu Liancheng did not panic at all, "Oh right. What do you want to do on the weekend? You are single."

Bill, "???"

"What else? Did Teacher An Duo agree to date you? Or are you thinking of a professional target and going to the nightclub to continue being your little Prince?" Xu Liancheng deliberately said loudly.

"Boss, you!"

This was too much! He forced him to see romantic scenes and created a rumor!

"Good boy, work hard. Oh right. This is your obligation to work overtime. So I won't pay for it."

Xu Liancheng patted him on the shoulder and left.
