After abandoning his wife and children, Bo Xilai coaxed and begged her to reconcile.

"It's alright, I'll go check on them. Can you look after the two children?" Since the person had come to her for help, Song Jin couldn't refuse.

Bo Sinian raised an eyebrow and glanced at the project team members. His tone was tinged with a hint of exasperation: "If you dare to block people again, I'll deduct your quarterly performance bonuses to pay Professor Song as consulting fees."

After Song Jin returned from the project team, Bo Sinian had already won a lot of gifts for the two little ones.

Bo Yi and Xiao Jiu couldn't wait to show her their spoils.

"Mom, look! I won a Labubu blind box, and it's a hidden edition! Mom, I'll give it to you, you can hang it on your bag." Bo Yi proudly handed the Labubu to Song Jinye.

"Thank you, baby, you're amazing! You even got the hidden item, you're so lucky!" Song Jin also gave the little girl plenty of emotional support.

"Jinbao, this is the super fighter jet toy I won. Isn't it cool?" Shen Jiuran showed his transforming fighter jet to Song Jin.

"Wow, you're amazing! Come on, let me take a picture of you and your spoils so I can send it to Mom, okay?"

Upon hearing this, the two children enthusiastically struck a pose.

Yan Xiao arrived a little late because she had gone to the hospital first.

When the staff at the entrance checked her invitation, they looked her up and down with suspicion for several moments: "Are you a relative of Yang Lisheng, the marketing manager?"

Yan Xiao nodded politely, "Yes. I also brought my daughter to the event last year."

Staff member: "Sorry, our company is large, I can't remember them all. But why didn't you come with Manager Yang?"

They usually come as a family.

Yan Xiao replied with a smile, "He's been quite busy lately; he's on a business trip these past couple of days."

Business trip? The staff member paused for a second in confusion, but how come he remembered that Manager Yang had gone in with his cousin half an hour ago?

Typically, only one invitation is sent to each employee.

He checked the invitation again and confirmed it with his boss.

The supervisor reviewed it and said there was no problem: "If I remember correctly, this invitation was later instructed by President Bo to be reissued. President Bo must have had his reasons for doing this. Let the employees' family members go in; don't leave them with a bad experience at the event."

"Excuse me, ma'am, welcome to our family carnival! We hope you and your child have a wonderful time!"

Yan Xiao thanked them gently and politely, then led her daughter inside.

While signing in, her daughter Xiaoxin excitedly pointed to the signature wall and said to her, "Mom, look! Dad's signature. Dad's here too!"

Yan Xiao thought she was mistaken, and while signing the autograph, she said, "How could that be? Your dad paid for it..."

Before he could finish saying the word "bad," his gaze indeed fell on Yang Lisheng's signature.

After many years of marriage, she was absolutely certain that it was Yang Lisheng's handwriting.

Is he at the company?

Why did he tell me he was on a business trip?

Or was the business trip cancelled at the last minute?

"Mom, let's go find Dad?" Her daughter tugged at her arm, her youthful face filled with anticipation.

"This company is so big, where are we supposed to find him? How about Mom calls Dad first?" Yan Xiao coaxed patiently.

She took out her phone and dialed her husband's number. The call was answered quickly, but his tone sounded somewhat impatient: "What's up?"

The phone rang loudly, with a noisy background, and Yan Xiao felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

Where are you?

A few seconds later, a reply came from the other end: "Where could I be? I'm on a business trip. I just left the hotel to do some research. Maybe the hotel lobby was a bit noisy because a group of tourists were there earlier?"

Yan Xiao's heart sank instantly, like a stone falling straight into a dark valley. The ease and comfort she felt during the activity just now vanished without a trace.

Does a man's lying mean he has become unfaithful?

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and pretended to hang up the phone as if nothing had happened.

Now that they're all in the same game, she's going to see what Yang Lisheng is up to.

"Let's play first, and look for Daddy while we play. Let's have a race with Daddy and see if he finds us first, or if we find him first?" Yan Xiao made up an excuse to appease her daughter.

She had already considered the worst possible outcome, but she didn't want to present such a terrible result coldly to her daughter. After all, her daughter was still young, and her tenth birthday wasn't until next month.

"Okay," the daughter readily agreed without hesitation.

Before meeting Yang Lisheng, Yan Xiao encountered Song Jinye and Bo Sinian.

"What a coincidence. Professor Song, President Bo, thank you so much for giving me an extra invitation card this time." Yan Xiao forced a smile. Although she wasn't sure if coming here was the right thing to do, seeing her daughter having so much fun made it all worthwhile.

"It's nothing, having fun is the most important thing. Manager Yang isn't with you?" Bo Sinian asked.

The company's original intention in setting up this activity was to allow the families of Yuzhou Group employees to understand their employees' daily work routines and also to create some sparks in their lives. Yang Lisheng has worked at the company for so many years and should understand the company's starting point.

"We didn't come together. We made a promise to see if we could run into each other during the event." What was about to happen was unknown to Yan Xiao. So she could only maintain appearances for the time being.

Bo Sinian smiled, unusually appearing easygoing. "You two have quite the romantic flair. How many years have you been married?"

Yan Xiao smiled, pursing her lips: "Ten years."

"Ten years..." Bo Sinian repeated softly, his gaze slightly unfocused, a hint of envy showing in his handsome brows. "That's good. I wish you two can continue to be loving and affectionate."

Thinking about it carefully, he and Song Jin had known each other for sixteen years, which was almost half of each other's lives.

Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, they missed too much time.

Yan Xiao said "thank you" somewhat absentmindedly.

Upon noticing the two children beside Song Jinye, she changed the subject, trying to force herself to shift her attention.

"Are these two babies Professor Song and President Bo's children? They're so beautiful, like porcelain dolls."

"This is my daughter, and this is my younger brother," Song Jin introduced her as well.

"Little brother? He's so cute! He looks exactly like you, like a copy and paste." Yan Xiao exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide.

"Yes. So everyone thinks he's my son." Song Jin was already used to it.

They were there with the children, playing games and completing challenges, when voices drifted over from nearby: "Has your marketing manager, Manager Yang, changed wives? I remember the one he brought to the last event didn't look like this."
