She subconsciously wrung her hands, trying to think of something to say when she heard Lu Ting’s usual cold and indifferent voice.

“We can talk about what happened five years ago later. If you’d like to take back Fang Corporation and investigate the cause of your mother’s death, you can’t delay for even a moment. Are you sure you want to wait?”

When she heard this, Fang Xin felt as though her heart has been gouged out.

Having had the most painful thing dug out from the depths of her heart and yet she couldn’t say a word.

Lu Ting was right. This was the main reason she returned to China. She couldn’t argue.

“Mommy, why don’t we agree with this handsome uncle! You’re back here this time to take care of the bad guys, and you could use some help.”

Seeing her mother’s silence, the little girl ran over to Lu Ting with her toddler’s legs. She held his hand and blinked her beautiful googly eyes.

Fang Jin and Fang Yan unconsciously took Lu Ting’s side and began to persuade Fang Xin.

Fang Xin remained silent.

Lu Ting walked closer and sighed helplessly. “Fang Xin, let me help you. I promise I will not pester you after this matter is over. Just take it as a final gesture of our friendship.”

Fang Xin raised her eyes, saw the sincerity in Lu Ting’s eyes and was speechless for a moment.

He did not mention anything about what happened five years ago. Instead, he humbly offered to help her fulfill her wish.

Fang Xin finally relented.

She knew very well that with Lu Ting’s help, she would be able to handle matters related to Fang Corporation more easily.

She could even discover the cause of her mother’s death more quickly and find the murderer!

Just as Lu Ting said, this could be a final gesture of their friendship before they go their separate ways.

“Alright, I accept.”

“With CEO Lu’s help, I should be happy.”

Fang Xin twitched her lips, trying to make her smile more relaxed. Unfortunately, wrapped in her smile was endless bitterness.

Lu Ting’s eyes darkened.

He wanted to say something but ended up moving his lips slightly without saying a word.

“In that case, don’t go back to the Fang residence for the time being. Follow me back to the Lu residence.”

Fang Xin didn’t protest. Since she has already decided to accept Lu Ting’s help, there was no need to be overly contentious.

The three little ones expressed their agreement.

On the way back, they acted remarkably close to Lu Ting with no hint of rejection.

This was beyond Fang Xin’s expectations.

She sat and watched her little girl curled up in Lu Ting’s embrace like a baby panda.

Lu Ting drove with one hand and held the little girl tenderly with his other arm to prevent her from falling.

Fang Yan was also excitedly chatting with Lu Ting, about anything and everything. Lu Ting would occasionally respond to his incessant chatter.

Although Fang Jin didn’t speak much, he sat at the back and occasionally glanced in Lu Ting’s direction, observing everything closely.

Fang Xin was in a daze. She felt that everything was like a dream. It was too surreal.

Why did she have the illusion that Lu Ting, her, and the three little ones were a family?

Fang Xin shook her head hard to suppress the seemingly crazy thoughts.

The car arrived at the Lu residence.

Lu Ting got out of the car with the three little ones. Fang Xin calmed her emotions and followed suit.

“I’ve already asked the helper to clean up the guest room. I’ve prepared clothing and other daily necessities. You can have a look later and let me know if you need anything else.”

Lu Ting turned around and said to Fang Xin as they entered the house.

His tone was so natural that it was as if the two of them had returned to five years ago.

Fang Xin’s footsteps paused. She subconsciously bit her lips and nodded earnestly.

A sharp and unkind voice suddenly boomed from the living room.

“Yo, who is this? Isn’t this the Miss Fang who disappeared without a word back then? I thought you were gone for good. Why did you suddenly come back?”
