"It’s getting late, let’s head back. Whatever needs to be investigated doesn’t need to be done now." Mr. Jie scooped up the little one from the grass and, holding Qin Youxuan’s hand, led her down the hillside.

In the car, Qin Youxuan was still lost in her doubts.

In contrast, the father and son duo were much more harmonious.

Little Tingye tried several times but couldn’t open it, so he just hung the small wood carving back around his neck.

He let out a delicate yawn.

When he wanted to sleep he sought out his dad, and his soft little body naturally nestled into Dan Hanjie’s embrace, his little face nuzzling against his chest.

His little mouth didn’t forget to please Dan Hanjie.

"Love Daddy, Daddy hug."

"It’s only at times like this that you remember to love Daddy." Dan Hanjie snorted coldly, but his arm unconsciously cradled the little soft body.

He adjusted his little head so he could comfortably lean on his shoulder to sleep.

Inside the car, the atmosphere suddenly became very cozy.

...

Time passed quickly.

The days went by, and the three-month deadline for the Dan Group’s shares auction drew ever closer.

Qin Youxuan couldn’t find Mo Feng, so she could only mobilize Ye Corporation’s funds as much as possible, preparing for the worst.

Dan Hanjie still looked indifferent, spending most of his time with his wife and son.

"Tingye is still so small. Bringing Da Bai over so soon, won’t it scare him? And such a small child, I’m worried his immune system isn’t developed yet..."

Qin Youxuan, petite as she was, stood in front of the desk, circling Dan Hanjie countless times.

With each circle, she came up with another reason for concern.

From the moment Dan Hanjie suggested bringing Da Bai over, she had thought of dozens of concerns in just ten minutes.

Dan Hanjie put down the file in his hand, his alluring face slightly tilted upwards, a glimmer crossing his eyes, flickering with a sharp color, his lips curled with a mischievous smile.

"How come I only just realized that you’re a pessimist."

"..."

Doesn’t she call this careful consideration?

Tingye is still so young, yet he thought of bringing a wolf to be his son’s companion.

Although Qin Youxuan also missed Da Bai, the thought of Tingye, just over a year old, playing with a wolf, was unimaginable to her.

"My son, Dan Hanjie’s son, won’t be useless like that. You need to let go and let him grow." Dan Hanjie closed the file, tossed the pen into the nearby pen holder, and stood up.

He approached Qin Youxuan, wrapped his arms around her waist, and leaned down to capture her lips.

After a moment of entanglement, he released her.

His long fingers brushed her lip corner, his gaze deep, "With Da Bai keeping Tingye company, you can focus on keeping me company."

"..."

To win over your wife, you hand your son over to a snow wolf, Mr. Jie, you’re really going all out!

Qin Youxuan’s protest was in vain; she turned around, ready to find Tingye.

Before Da Bai was brought over, she had to find a way to prepare Tingye and reduce his fear.

Qin Youxuan had just watched the training video of Da Bai a while ago. Snow wolves are inherently large, and Da Bai, being exceptional among them, already possessed a strong physique and agile form despite not being fully mature.

The thought of this large snow wolf appearing in front of little Tingye made Qin Youxuan apprehensive about what state of fright Tingye would be in.

"Where are you going?"

As Qin Youxuan turned, her wrist was suddenly clenched tightly.

Turning her head, she caught sight of Dan Hanjie’s alluring, mischievous eyes, urgently trying to free her hand, "I’m going to find Tingye now; I’m worried he’ll be scared when he first sees Da Bai."

"It’s already too late."
