Xia Jianren felt that securing the perfume formula sooner rather than later was prudent, so after spending two days in Moli City, he returned to his hometown.
On the day he arrived home, Mrs. Xia and his five older brothers were negotiating business with clients in the backyard.
Only Xia Ningxing was in the courtyard, playing with a little white rabbit she had found in the mountains a couple of days ago.
Xia Jianren knew that only Xia Ningxing was privy to the perfume formula, so he headed straight for her: "Bao'er!"
Clad in a suit and leather shoes, he stood out like a sore thumb in the dilapidated and dirty courtyard.
A kindly smile was plastered across his handsome face, and in his hand, he dangled a snack he thought was precious, trying to lure her in: "Bao'er, stop playing with the bunny. Come and see what Daddy bought for you. It's chips, come and have some."
Xia Ningxing glanced over at him.
