Mr. Xu said very seriously, "That's right. I'm your father, so it's normal for me to miss you."

"But you, it's been so long and you haven't even gone back to see your father."

Xu Xuan: "Dad, you can't wrong me. I just went back a while ago. You're clearly trying to send me back..."

Master Xu gave him a look, and Xu Xuan immediately said, "It was clearly my own choice to leave."

"But Father, you came to see me today, you don't mean to take me back, do you?"

"What are you thinking about?" Master Xu said. "Let me tell you, you stay here with Boss Chen and don't even think about slacking off."

Xu Xuan: "..." See? I told you his father couldn't possibly miss him; he probably wished he wouldn't go back.

It has to be said that Xu Xuan was right. After saying a few more words to Xu Xuan, Master Xu took the butler and went to find Chen Feng.

When Master Xu found Chen Feng, Chen Feng was reading a book. He was taken aback when he saw Master Xu and asked, "Master Xu, what brings you here today?"

Master Xu had the butler put down the gifts he had brought, and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Let's see if my Xuan'er has caused any trouble for Boss Chen."

"If he has caused you any trouble, Mr. Chen, then teach him a lesson without hesitation. Don't be soft-hearted."

Chen Feng chuckled and said, "Mr. Xu, you flatter me. Xu Xuan hasn't caused any trouble these days; on the contrary, he's helped me out in some ways."

Master Xu knew Chen Feng was just being polite. His good-for-nothing son was good enough if he didn't cause trouble for others, let alone help them. He thought he was just making things worse.

However, Mr. Xu also noticed that during the time Xu Xuan stayed with Chen Feng, not only did his physical health improve, but his interpersonal skills, while still not entirely satisfactory to Mr. Xu, had at least improved somewhat compared to before.

Originally, Master Xu planned to let Xu Xuan stay with Chen Feng for a while before bringing him back. However, after seeing the changes in Xu Xuan today, Master Xu changed his mind. He thought, "He can change so much in just a few days. If he stays with him longer, who knows, maybe his silly son will stop being silly." When Xu Xuan matures and becomes sensible enough to take over the family business, he will hand over the Xu family to... no, to Xu Xuan, and then he can enjoy a carefree life.

The more Mr. Xu thought about it, the more excited he became, and his smile grew wider and wider. Even the butler next to him wanted to remind Mr. Xu to tone down his smile, since Chen Feng was still watching.

"Master Xu?"

It wasn't until Chen Feng called out in confusion that Master Xu snapped out of his reverie. Under Chen Feng's puzzled gaze, he almost couldn't help but blush.

"Ahem, I was thinking about something and got a little lost in thought. I hope Mr. Chen won't take offense."

"will not."

Master Xu then said, "I have another matter I would like to trouble Mr. Chen with."

"Please speak, Mr. Xu."

With his hands behind his back, Mr. Xu said, "Mr. Chen knows that I only have one child, Xuan'er, and I can only entrust my huge family business to him in the future. But I really can't rest assured about Xuan'er's current temperament."

Chen Feng had already guessed what Master Xu was going to say, so he remained silent and waited for Master Xu to continue.

“I have witnessed Xuan’er’s progress during his time with Boss Chen, which makes me very happy.”

"So I thought I'd shamelessly ask Mr. Chen if Xuan'er could stay with him for a little longer."

"Mr. Xu, you flatter me," Chen Feng said. "It's not like I'm asking for anything."

"Moreover, Xu Xuan is not as bad as Master Xu said."

"Master Xu's decision to have Xu Xuan follow me shows his trust in me, so naturally I have no reason to refuse."

Mr. Xu said with delight, "Mr. Chen, do you mean you've agreed?"

Chen Feng nodded.

After finally entrusting the burden to Chen Feng, Mr. Xu couldn't help but say, "Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. You are such a kind person."

The butler almost couldn't bear to watch; his master was now completely devoid of his previous cunning demeanor, instead...

No, how could he, as the butler, slander his own master?

Master Xu had no idea what the butler was thinking. He said to Chen Feng with a happy expression, "Mr. Chen, just treat Xuan'er like your own son and discipline him. Don't be soft on him."

Chen Feng couldn't help but chuckle. The butler couldn't hold back any longer and whispered to Master Xu, "Master, Mr. Chen is about the same age as the young master now. It's impossible for him to have a son as old as the young master."

Master Xu: "..."

Master Xu glared at the butler. He wasn't blind; he had just been so happy that he had spoken without thinking. What a clueless butler.

Mr. Xu said to Chen Feng, somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, I was just too happy just now, I didn't mean anything by it."

“I know,” Chen Feng said.

"However, if Xuan'er causes any trouble for Boss Chen here in the future, Boss Chen is free to discipline him. If he is disobedient in any way, Boss Chen is free to come to me."

Chen Feng smiled and agreed to Master Xu's words. However, Master Xu's worries were probably unnecessary. Through these days of getting along, Chen Feng had also seen that although Xu Xuan was a bit spoiled and naive, he was very good at dealing with people and things. He was just lacking in some aspects of interpersonal relationships and other areas. Moreover, Xu Xuan's personality was very compatible with his, otherwise he would not have agreed to Master Xu's words.

Master Xu thanked Chen Feng profusely and told Xu Xuan about the matter before leaving.

Xu Xuan complained, "Dad, are you really going to leave me here for so long? What if I don't recognize you anymore?"

Master Xu chuckled and threatened, "As long as you dare."

"Thank you for not looking down on you and for allowing you to stay here for so long. Remember, you must not cause any trouble for Mr. Chen."

Xu Xuan: "...Oh."

Does he really not reassure his father? Xu Xuan thought with a heavy heart.

Murong Chen watched as Xu Xuan reluctantly saw Master Xu off, and couldn't help but sigh, "Brother Xu and Uncle Xu have such a good relationship."

Upon hearing Murong Chen's words, Xu Xuan staggered and looked at Murong Chen in surprise. How could he possibly tell that he and his father had a good relationship?

"Brother Xu, what's wrong?" Murong Chen looked at Xu Xuan with a puzzled expression.

Xu Xuan: "It's nothing, I just think what you said is very true."

His relationship with his father was just...too good. Thinking of that unreliable father, Xu Xuan didn't want to talk.

A moment later, Chen Feng arrived and said to Xu Xuan, "Your father should have already told you everything."

"My dad told me everything." Thinking of his father's eagerness to get rid of him, Xu Xuan felt a pang of sadness.

But getting to the point, Xu Xuan was still very happy to be able to stay with Chen Feng. Although he used to hang out with his friends, he always felt like something was missing. His father had always been disappointed in him.
