Chapter 248 Pretentious
Anjia, in the study.
An Changhai listened to Manager Jiang's report with a gloomy expression.
"No one was found? How is that possible?"
“Sir, I have indeed searched the entire city of A, but I can’t find her…” Manager Jiang lowered his head in shame. He was always reliable in his work, but this time he was just looking for a woman in a small city, yet he had no method at all.
An Changhai narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn't paid attention to Xi Hua and her daughter for far too long. After their divorce more than ten years ago, she moved to City A, and he hadn't thought about his ex-wife since.
She's not in City A anymore? Where could she have gone?
An Changhai pondered for a long time before finally looking up: "Not even a single clue?... What about the place where Xiaoyu used to go to school?"
"The second young lady attended Haiying High School in City A until she graduated last year, and then entered the Imperial Military Academy. As for the ex-wife... I only found out that she recently moved away from City A, but I have no clue where she moved to yet."
An Changhai lowered his brows. He knew Manager Jiang's abilities; if even he couldn't find Xi Hua, it meant that there must be someone else behind Xi Hua.
Who is it?
A nameless anger rose within him, and An Changhai stared coldly at Manager Jiang, asking, "When Xi Hua was in City A, did she have any other men with her?"
"I don't think so. According to the former lady's neighbors and colleagues, she was raised by the second young lady on her own," Manager Jiang hurriedly replied.
An Changhai's expression softened. Although he had divorced Xi Hua, he would still feel uncomfortable if she were with another man.
You're saying she's still single...?
"Yes."
An Changhai couldn't help but wonder why Xi Hua was still single. Was it because she couldn't let go of him? The image of his wife in her prime resurfaced in his mind.
"Keep searching, you must find her!" He ordered Manager Jiang again, who readily agreed.
Not long after Steward Jiang left the study, Ying Baiqing brought in a freshly stewed tonic soup.
"Darling, rest for a while and have some sweet soup." Ying Baiqing, dressed in a luxurious white suit, with exquisite makeup and an elegant updo, carried a small tray and walked slowly toward An Changhai with a gentle smile.
"Hmm," An Changhai responded softly, but did not drink immediately.
Seeing this, Ying Baiqing walked behind An Changhai and gently massaged his shoulders, asking in a soft, coquettish voice, "I saw Manager Jiang leave in a hurry, did something happen?"
"It's nothing serious, don't worry about it." An Changhai comforted his wife skillfully, but his words didn't seem very sincere.
"How can I not worry? It's my responsibility as a wife to share my husband's burdens! As long as you can smile, I'll do anything you ask!" Ying Baiqing wrapped her fair arms around An Changhai's neck and leaned gently on his shoulder.
Although she is 40 years old, she is very well-maintained and looks no more than 30. Her coquettish actions don't seem out of place at all.
Watching his wife try so hard to please him, An Changhai felt a mix of emotions.
He used to like Ying Baiqing's delicate actions, but just now, recalling the gentle and virtuous Xi Hua, he suddenly felt that Ying Baiqing's actions were somewhat affected.
"I know." An Changhai stroked her hand to comfort her, then turned the topic to An Ying: "Yingying will be going on a mission in a few days. As her mother, you should talk to her more and not make her too nervous."
With An Changhai's recommendation and Dr. Liang's approval, An Ying has confirmed that she will join the First Legion on this exploration mission.
