Ming Qin didn’t say anything for a long time, as if dumbfounded.


    Xia Wennan had a sudden desire to see Ming Luchuan. He then told Ming Qin, “Dad, I should get back to work. Why don’t you go outside, get some fresh air? Don’t stay at home by yourself.” After that, he immediately turned away to leave.


    “Wennan,” Ming Qin stopped him in a somewhat urgent tone.


    Xia Wennan stopped in his tracks and looked at him.


    “Wait for me,” Ming Qin said after briefly hesitating. “I’m coming to the company with you.”


    “Ah?” Xia Wennan uttered in surprise.


    “I’d like to hang around the laboratory,” said Ming Qin.


    When Xia Wennan came down, Ming Luchuan was on the phone. The man paused for a second and asked Xia Wennan, “Can we go now?”


    “Give it another minute.” Xia Wennan sported an awkward expression as he pinched his forefinger and thumb together.


    Ming Luchuan gave a nod. He turned around and resumed his phone call, but once he hung up, he said “I’ll have the driver bring you over. Something came up and I have to leave now.”


    “Your dad said that he’s coming to the company with us,” said Xia Wennan.


    Ming Luchuan appeared somewhat surprised for a fleeting moment. “Hm?”


    Xia Wennan approached him and whispered, “I guess he’s just lonely after his breakup. He doesn’t want to be alone.”


    Ming Luchuan nodded when he heard that and said, “Wait for the driver to get here, he’ll take you two to the company.”
