The eldest of the Bo Family couldn’t believe his ears. He paused while unbuttoning his coat and looked at his wife, "What did you say? Young girls nowadays like soone as old as your son?"
The Bo Family’s matron snorted, "Don’t be ridiculous. What’s that about my son being old? My son is not even thirty, how is he old? Speak with a conscience. When you married , were you very young? You weren’t exactly a spring chicken yourself, yet you dare talk about others. Where do you get the nerve?"
The Bo Family elder: "..."
No, was that what he ant? Sothing feels off, but if the matron is angry, the consequences are severe. "And who was it back then, eagerly standing in military uniform at the school gate waiting for ? With that aloof and proud deanor, as if you wanted to annihilate everyone within a ten-mile radius;
How old were you then? And how old was I? Do you rember how old I was when I gave birth to your first son? I wasn’t even twenty-one. You have so nerve; you were thirty-two then, weren’t you?"
The Bo Family elder’s face turned red with embarrassnt. "Why bring up these old stories?"
The Bo Family’s matron snorted, "I’m bringing up old stories to address the issue, so you don’t get overconfident. So, you see, it’s hereditary in your family - older n liking young and beautiful girls. You were almost thirty and liked teenage , and your son is the sa."
"No more talking to you."
The Bo Family elder’s face turned red and white, truly a spectacle.
The Bo Family’s matron changed into her nightgown, turned over in bed, pulled the covers over herself, and turned her back on her husband.
The Bo Family elder: "..."
No, he didn’t an to make her angry. Alright, alright, apologize tomorrow. The matron is always right. He shouldn’t have intervened and should’ve just listened quietly. No need for his own opinions; as long as the matron is happy, that’s enough.
He made a mistake, which is never to discuss serious matters with his wife. Not only won’t he win, but he might just get swiftly ’killed’ by her.

Jian Dan was packing her luggage late into the night. Bo Qin leaned against the door fra, watching the young girl busy herself. He smiled and said, "The Bo Corporation has a project starting in Athens. The contract was signed yesterday. If I go, I’ll visit you."
Jian Dan looked up, slightly surprised, "Uncle Qin, does the Bo Corporation have a lot of international collaborations?"
"Yes, quite a few."
Jian Dan smiled and continued packing her clothes, "Alright, it’s too late now. Uncle Qin, you should go rest. No need to see off tomorrow. I’ll have the family driver take to the airport. You’re so busy, I don’t want to disturb your work."
Bo Qin’s smile softened, "I promised to see you off before, so I will. Are you expecting to suddenly back out?"
"That’s not what I ant. It just seems like you are getting busier recently, like every year."
"There’s still ti to see you off, so don’t worry about ." Bo Qin walked in, crouched down next to Jian Dan, looking at the clothes in her suitcase and her underwear in the corner. Jian Dan blushed and quickly covered it with a jacket. Bo Qin raised an eyebrow with an amused smile.
"Just one suitcase?"
Since the young girl was embarrassed, he changed the topic himself, to avoid making her uncomfortable, which would be unpleasant for him too.
Jian Dan thought she might be too sensitive, as he probably wouldn’t notice such details. She nodded, "I don’t need much, just a few changes of clothes. If necessary, I’ll buy more there. Bringing too much over would be inconvenient since I’m unfamiliar with the place."
"Well, I have a friend there who has already arranged to pick you up. I’ll send their contact information to your phone."
Jian Dan was surprised, "Uncle Qin, you have friends in Greece too?"
Bo Qin raised an eyebrow, "Are you surprised I have friends?"
"Not surprised you have friends, surprised that you have friends everywhere!"
Bo Qin gently rubbed Jian Dan’s head, "Hey, don’t overthink. Do whatever you want. Money and other things aren’t your concern. If you don’t use the card I gave you this ti, I’ll take it back."
"Why is that?"
Jian Dan was utterly perplexed. Not using his money makes him upset — what’s this about?
Bo Qin chuckled, "What do you think?"
Jian Dan lowered her head, avoiding Bo Qin’s charmingly devilish smile, "I understand. I’ll use it."
"Good, then hurry and finish packing. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the airport. Next ti I’m in Athens, we’ll have a al together."
Jian Dan nodded, "Alright then."
