Xia Chen often took Wu Han Ying out to play during New Year days. Of course, occasionally Xiao Shang would tag along with the couple. The two people were going on a date with a third wheel on the side, but Xia Chen just completely ignored the little kiddo and kept on doing what a couple would do.

After the fifteenth of the Lantern Festival, people started to go back to work, and Xia Chen said to let Wu Han Ying come to the company to let himself adapt to the working environment. Although Wu Han Ying had no understanding of how this company worked, he still agreed on the idea. Papa Xia had finally agreed to let him and Xia Chen be together, but he still needed to prove that he was worthy of the other man.

Wu Han Ying returned to his home on the night of the fifteenth, and he agreed to meet Xia Chen in the morning to let the man drive him to the company.

Wu Han Ying walked up the stairs and readily sent a text message to Xia Chen telling the older man to quickly go home since it's getting cold outside. Right after the first of the New Year, that small apartment of Xia Chen became of no use, and the man directly moved into the new home. Papa Xia had quickly found a good house for them and even made sure to decorate the house with essential living equipment; plus it's very close to the Xia family home. Of course, it's quite far away from where Wu Han Ying lives.

Xia Chen responded to the text quite fast, telling the boy to not get up too early the next day and to just call him when the boy woke up.

Wu Han Ying typed in a "good" reply then sent out. He could not help but sigh that his phone bill this month certainly is not going to be a small number...

Right when he opened the door, he already heard his aunt saying something inside the house. Her voice was particularly loud and it sounded quite angry, but it had a "not caring" tone in it. And his uncle's voice sounded out, "Okay, okay, I'll see if Xiao Li's company is currently hiring, tomorrow."

"Hmph, your boss really likes to bully other people. He must be afraid that you will take over his spot. He dares to bully people like that?! Not like our family's only income is based on that job of yours, just hurry and quit your job. I will call my cousin and ask her, just go over to her company to work there; it's much more laid-back than your old place... Ning Ning, get to the side, don't you see that the adults are talking? What are you crying for; are you trying to cause trouble?"

"It's okay, it's okay, no need to curse at the child. Ning Ning, come here to play with me. Quit if you want to quit your job, just find a new one tomorrow, not like we will be starving tomorrow." The grandmother coaxed the child.

Wu Han Ying thought this discussion won't be stopping soon, and he had no desire to chime in. Just when he was about to head to his room, his aunt called out to him, so he had to stop on his track.

"I say, Han Ying ah, you're about to graduate from college, yet you're not looking for any part-time to do during your long break. Most of the college students are working as a private tutor or something. They can earn a few hundred with just two hours of tutoring. Today your uncle resigned from his workplace. Our family will be on a tight budget, you should stop going out to play to save money for the family. The suit you wore last time, how much did you buy it for? You haven't started working yet and already spent money on such luxury. You know how much money we have to put in your allowance ah."

His aunt kept on blabbering non-stop, but Wu Han Ying showed absolutely no interest. He didn't even bother to listen to what the other woman was trying to say and simply disregarded her words. He only perfunctorily nodded and left. He had to go to work the next day; actually he had wanted to tell his grandma about it, but then he remembered Xia Chen said the other company is now under his name. If he told his grandma, then his aunt and uncle would know about it. Then they would try to secretly take over the assets like what they did in the past. That company is Xia Chen's hard earnings; he does not want to give it to others.
