Urban Most Awesome Dad

A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Cai Xiangdong’s mouth as he casually answered the call.

The cold voice of the HR Manager came through the phone, “Cai Xiangdong, you don’t need to come to work tomorrow. Following the headquarters’ notification, due to issues with your personal conduct, you have been dismissed from all positions at Xinghai Media. When you have time, come back to complete the resignation procedures and gather your personal belongings. After that, you will have no further association with Xinghai Media.”

“Manager Li, what do you mean by personal conduct issues? What have I, Cai Xiangdong, done for you to slander my character like this? I have the right to sue you in court for violating my human rights, do you know that!” Cai Xiangdong, infuriated by the HR Manager’s words, retorted fiercely.

“Cai Xiangdong, there’s no need for me to spell out what you did today. Considering that both you and Director Xu are returnees from overseas, Director Xu spared you this time. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be me making this call; it would be the police,” the HR Manager replied calmly, warning Cai Xiangdong.

“Sorry, Manager Li, I understand. I’ll take care of the procedures,” Cai Xiangdong said as he realized that Brother Long from Night Castle must have betrayed him. He gritted his teeth in anger, his facial muscles twisted, but when he spoke, his words were submissive.

He was now in Yan Country and indeed feared legal retribution, so he couldn’t afford to openly sever ties with Xu Yixue. However, behind the scenes, others wouldn’t be able to control him.

“Remember, stay away from Director Xu’s business in the future, or someone will take care of you!” HR Manager Li spat out harshly at Cai Xiangdong before hanging up.

As the busy tone “beep beep beep” sounded from the phone, Cai Xiangdong felt a surge of rage.

Who says I can’t target Xu Yixue—damn it, Xu Yixue, you bitch—I will make you pay today. Do you think that man protecting you can withstand a top assassin from the Black Glove Family of America? Once your man is taken care of, then you’ll experience the wrath of Cai Xiangdong.

Cai Xiangdong continued driving, revealing a manic smirk.

On Xu Fan’s side, the car was filled with laughter and cheerful voices, mainly because Tongtong, the little princess, had a blast at the zoo, recounting the fun experiences to Xu Yixue non-stop.

“How cute the giant pandas are, how majestic the tigers and lions are,” and so on.

Xu Yixue was very patient, listening to Tongtong’s childish talk while gently stroking her smooth little head with her hand.

Tongtong gradually grew tired of talking, her voice getting lower and lower, and before long, she fell asleep on the chair.

Hearing that Tongtong in the back seat had stopped talking and was now breathing softly, Xu Fan turned to look and saw that Tongtong had fallen asleep on her child safety seat, her little head tilted to one side.

Xu Yixue sat beside her, looking at Tongtong with eyes brimming with motherly love.

“Shall I take you guys home first?” Xu Fan whispered to Xu Yixue.

Xu Yixue nodded gently, then Ye Xiaoning gave Xu Fan the address.

“Kowloon New City community, Building A, Apartment 903.”

In Xu Fan’s memory, he was quite familiar with the map of Zhonghai City, so he drove directly to Xu Yixue’s residence.

Along the way, Xu Fan drove the car extremely steadily, without even the slightest jolt, which surprised Ye Xiaoning, a professional driver. However, when Ye saw Tongtong sleeping sweetly in the back seat, she came to understand. Honestly, Xu Fan really was exceptionally good to Tongtong.

Twenty minutes later, Xu Fan’s car arrived at Xu Yixue’s residence, located in the Kowloon New City neighborhood south of the city.

Although this neighborhood wasn’t as luxurious as the Star of Zhonghai neighborhood where Xu Fan lived, it was still quite famous in Zhonghai City, and the housing prices weren’t cheap either. In contrast, the prices in Xu Fan’s villa area weren’t too outrageous since fewer people bought villas. In comparison, these commercial housing units were much more in demand, leading to continuously rising prices.

The price of housing in Kowloon New City was a bit lower than in Tomson First Grade, but it wasn’t much cheaper.

Xu Yixue having an apartment here meant her assets were worth at least tens of millions.

After parking the car in the underground garage of the complex, Xu Fan was the first to get out, then carefully opened the door on the rear side.

Tongtong was already asleep, Xu Fan didn’t wake her but gently unbuckled the seat belt from the safety chair and cautiously lifted her up.

Xu Yixue had wanted to hold Tongtong, but Xu Fan’s look stopped her.

Xu Fan’s movements were incredibly precise, allowing him to pick up Tongtong without waking her, a feat Xu Yixue couldn’t manage.

To prevent Xu Yixue from waking Tongtong while holding her, Xu Fan personally came to pick up the sleeping little princess himself.

Xu Yixue saw Xu Fan’s movements were gentle and careful, so she didn’t speak any more, nimbly got out of the car, and to tell the truth, her constitution was not only inferior to Xu Fan’s but even Ye Xiaoning couldn’t match it. After an afternoon at the zoo, Xu Yixue was already very tired and genuinely found it a bit difficult to carry her little treasure.

Ye Xiaoning took the lead, guiding the two out of the underground parking, and they got into the elevator that went directly to the apartment.

Soon, the elevator reached the ninth floor and opened with a ding.

Ye Xiaoning took out the keys to the house from her small bag and gently unlocked the door.

Xu Fan smiled faintly.

His villa was equipped with a fingerprint lock, yet this neighborhood still used normal key locks.

He didn’t know that the safest locks these days were actually these old-fashioned mechanical locks. In contrast, fingerprint and password locks were more susceptible to hacking. Even the most sophisticated mechanical locks could stump a master locksmith who might require three hours to open one.

Xu Yixue and Ye Xiaoning, after all, were two young women who chose these clunky mechanical locks for security purposes.

With a “click,” Ye Xiaoning unlocked the door and gently pushed it open.

Xu Yixue slowly entered, meanwhile taking out two pairs of slippers, one large and one small.

Since no man had ever come to Xu Yixue’s place, there were only female slippers available. Xu Fan saw the obviously small slippers and slightly furrowed his brow.
