It was Chen Yu at the door, looking somewhat anxious. She thanked Xu Ye first, then said someone from the Federation Bureau of Investigation would be coming to investigate shortly and asked if he could accompany her.
Xu Ye naturally agreed.
This matter involved the Matchmaker Society. Finding Count An Lu in such an enormous organization would be rather difficult, and this incident offered the perfect opening.
He casually picked up a few more sets of elementary school test papers he had just bought as a gift, tucked them under his arm, and chatted with Chen Yu along the way. Within minutes, they arrived at apartment 1501.
The moment the door opened, Xu Ye heard the little girl cheer, "Doctor Xu is here! Doctor Xu, I've already finished the test papers you gave me."
Chen Yu handed Xu Ye a pair of slippers, looking puzzled. Little Hua was usually so aloof toward others, yet she had hit it off with Doctor Xu right away.
Could it be because she lacked a father's love?
I've spent all these years busy with work, constantly rushing around. I really have neglected Little Hua's emotional needs.
Xu Ye patted Zhong Little Hua's head and took out the test papers. "Looks like Little Hua really loves studying. I didn't have any other gifts for you, so I could only bring you a few more sets of test papers."
Zhong Little Hua froze.
She lowered her voice. "Big Brother Little Ye, watch it, or I'll expose your identity."
"That's fine. We can expose each other's identities in front of your mom and see who suffers more. I reckon she'll even follow you to school from then on."
You win!
Zhong Little Hua took the papers and shot Xu Ye a resentful glare. Then she suddenly smiled.
