After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1248 - 1245: Please Resolve It

"Little Nine..." In the airport, Xia Nian looked at the expressionless face of the young girl across from him. All the words he wanted to say suddenly turned into nothingness. Surely he was filled with anger and a sense of betrayal after hearing about the things his adoptive father did last night. The girl right in front of him... no, it should be the young woman, would only feel more so.He silently sighed and handed all the documents in his hand to Bi Xia, "The child’s information and identity are all in here. Rest assured, it’s absolutely safe."

Bi Xia opened the photocopy of the household registration book, and below Xia Nian’s name was the name Xia Wu. Bi Xia paused and looked at Xia Nian.

"I heard you call this child Xiao Wu when leaving yesterday, but I wasn’t sure which Wu it was, so I picked the Wu from ’Phoenix-tree’. If you don’t like it, you can change the name, but the surname will follow mine for a while."

His gaze fell on that Wu, and only then did Bi Xia say his first words, "... It’s good, no need to change it."

He raised his hand gently to touch the child clinging to his leg and smiled lightly. "The phoenix soars to great heights, resting only on the phoenix-tree. This Wu is auspicious. Our Xiaowu will be healthy and well, much better than being nothingness."

Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Xiao Wu’s face reddened. She turned sideways and hid behind Bi Xia, cautiously yet full of admiration, looking up at Bi Xia, just like a child without a sense of security grasping at a lifeline, wholeheartedly trusting it.

Xia Nian watched this scene, paused for a moment, and changed the topic, "That black cat from last time, if it’s inconvenient to bring it back, should I take care of it for you first?"

"No need," Bi Xia declined softly, "I’ve already sent it back."

Already back in the space 007: ...

He turned his gaze to Meng Chi and Hao Xisheng, who had already handled everything. Wei Ming had also informed Qing City of his schedule and was walking back.

Wei Ming’s steps hesitated when he saw Xia Nian standing in front of Bi Xia, deep in thought as he looked at Xia Nian. Puzzled, he spoke after a long time, "I think I’ve seen you before."

Xia Nian glanced at Wei Ming, discreetly brushed his face to ensure his disguise wasn’t compromised, adjusted his glasses, and restored his refined and clever demeanor. "You shouldn’t have. I’ve been in Yan City all along."

Frowning, Wei Ming studied Xia Nian closely, finally saying, "I’m sorry, old habits, don’t mind."

Xia Nian smiled slightly, "No problem."

"May I ask who you are..." Wei Ming nodded and asked.

Before Xia Nian could speak, Bi Xia slowly said, "He’s Xia Jingshen’s adopted son. I asked him to arrange Xiaowu’s identification."

"Xia Jingshen!?" Wei Ming paused, "You mean Grandpa Xia?!"

Bi Xia remained silent and instead said to Xia Nian, "Thank you, Vice President Xia. We’re about to board soon. If possible, tell him that my hurdle cannot be overcome for now, but my mother misses her father dearly. As for whether he returns, it’s his choice."

Xia Nian had anticipated his role as a potential messenger here. He nodded, "Don’t worry, protect yourself well once you return."

Bi Xia nodded in response, hesitated momentarily before turning around, and pulled out a receipt from her pocket, adding, "He decided my gender, so let him end it as well. My methods are too cumbersome."

Watching the young woman who didn’t turn back, she looked down at the child in her arms. Whatever the child said melted her expressionless face into gentleness. The three young men around her guarded her, and one by one, they disappeared into the security check.

With five people confirmed through security, Xia Nian turned and walked towards the airplane exit, stepped to the black car, opened the door, and sat inside. After he got in, the elderly man in the backseat had already closed the laptop, leaning tiredly with his eyes shut.

Xia Nian glanced back, tossed the disconnected phone onto the passenger seat, "Did you hear everything?"
