2884 I am not worried with you around.

2884 I am not worried with you around.

Su ningmei quickly said,"why didn't you tell me about such a funny thing? I'm not worried about this. There's ... There's my father, my brother, and ... You ... All."

Her face was a little too red. She wanted to say,"I still have you," but she was really a little embarrassed.

The smile on Xia Anlan's face became gentle.""Good girl ... Have you finished eating?"

Su ningmei shook her head."Not yet. I'm waiting for my brother and the others to come back."

"You're in the courtyard now, right?"

"Yeah, you can tell?" su ningmei was surprised.

"You're sitting on the swing, right?"

Su ningmei quickly looked around in surprise.""Did you ... Install some surveillance cameras in my house? how do you even know about this?"

"I guessed it," Xia Anlan chuckled softly.

"You ... You can even guess that?"

Xia Anlan was in a good mood."I guess it's because I know you better."

"You ..." Su ningmei was suspicious."You haven't even spent much time with me. How do you know me so well?"

Xia Anlan laughed out loud. She was so simple, as clean as a piece of white paper. She was clear and could be seen through at a glance. It was easy to understand her.

"Sometimes, understanding a person isn't determined by the amount of time you spend with them. However, are you blaming me for not having time to accompany you?"

"I ... I didn't mean it that way. Don't talk nonsense." Su ningmei quickly changed the topic."Oh right, I'm going back to Luo city tomorrow. I've been away from tingfeng for a long time. If I don't go back now, he's going to get angry."

Xia Anlan stopped teasing her."It's good that you're going back. Tell him everything in advance. Don't treat him like a child. He's very mature. You can tell him what you're thinking."

"Yes," su ningmei nodded."I'll remember ..."

"He's actually a very outstanding child. You don't have to make him study all the time. Maybe one day, he'll come around and work hard on his own without you telling him." Xia Anlan felt that Yue tingfeng was a child with exceptional potential, but he lacked guidance.

"I know, you seem to ... Really understand others. I don't think I understand my son as well as you do."

Xia Anlan smiled."That's only natural. I have to do some homework."

Su ningmei was confused,'ah? My homework ..."

"Mayor ..." The Secretary knocked on the door and entered.

Xia Anlan said to su ningmei,"I have something to attend to here. I'll hang up first. You should go and eat."

"Yeah, you too. Don't skip lunch when you're working."

"I'll remember that. "

Xia Anlan put down his phone and looked up at the Secretary. The smile on his face faded a little.

He was prepared to be that kid's stepfather, so he had to do some homework. Otherwise, that kid wouldn't be convinced by him.

The Secretary shivered. The smile on Xia Anlan's face suddenly disappeared, making him feel as if a gust of evil wind had blown over.

"Mayor, I've just received news that some villagers have found out that the old man from the Zeng family is hiding in the mountains," he said carefully."It's a mountain that stretches across three provinces in the southwest and is known as the southwest's barrier. Most of the mountains are covered in dense forests. It'll be hard to find him if he hides in the mountains. Do you think we should search the mountains?"

Xia Anlan's gaze was cold."Search, but we can't place all our bets on this without concrete evidence. That old thing, since he's so cunning, he must have more than one way out. Perhaps this is just a smokescreen he put up to divert our attention."
