<h4>Chapter 1222: Chapter 1229: Little Hua Arrives</h4>


    Zhong Wei was very agreeable to Ling Chen’s proposal. Moreover, upon learning of this matter, He Ziyun also endorsed Ling Chen’s decision.


    With the n set, everything was proceeding at a rapid pace. Although it was tiring, Ling Chen was enjoying it. In a blink, half a month had passed. During this period, Qiao Zhen had already woken up, and his condition had improved. Ling Chen and Tang Yuan specifically went to visit him.


    On this day, Ling Chen had just finished selecting a location for the Dragon Tiger Hall’s branch when he received a call from Nanrong Hao.


    "Hey! Chen, what are you busy with?"


    "Don’t ask, I’ve been so busy I’m about to lose my mind," Ling Chen casually replied, "Haven’t seen you aroundtely, what have you been up to?"


    "I’ve been busy too. Chen, my sister and I are flying back to East Sea City this afternoon, we’ve prepared a private jet. Do you want toe with us?"


    "Sorry, I can’t yet. I still have a lot of things to handle here. I estimate I’ll return next month."


    "Alright, when you get back to East Sea City, remember to contact me, we’ll have a proper drink together."


    "Okay... Wait!" Suddenly, Ling Chen remembered something and asked, "What time is your flight?"


    "Two o’clock. Why, is there something up?"


    "I need to go to the airport around that time for something, maybe I can see you guys off. Alright, I’ll call you when I get to the airport."


    After hanging up, Ling Chen remembered He Ziyun’s instructions. Little Hua was arriving in Beijing this afternoon, and he was supposed to pick her up at the airport. Recently, He Ziyun had been busy managing Dragon Tiger Hall, with no time to look after Little Hua. Little Hua was bored alone at home, so He Ziyun decided to have Little Hua stay with Mr. Ye for a while, as a chance to unwind.


    Honestly, Ling Chen hadn’t seen Little Hua in quite a while.


    At 1:30 PM, Ling Chen arrived at the airport early by car. After calling Nanrong Hao, Ling Chen headed straight to Hangar No. 3 at the airport. At this time, both Nanrong Hao and Nanrong Wanqing were there. Besides them, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui were sitting in wheelchairs, being pushed onto the ne.


    "Wanqing, Haozi," Ling Chen waved and smiled, greeting the two of them.


    Nanrong Wanqing looked at Ling Chen curiously and asked, "What are you doing here?" Even though both were in Beijing for the past half month, they hadn’t seen each other, as each was busy with their own affairs. Nanrong Wanqing was working on her new business n, and as for what Ling Chen was upied with, she wasn’t quite sure.


    Before Ling Chen could reply, Nanrong Hao hurriedly interjected, "Sis, Chen heard you were leaving today, so he specially came to see you off."


    Hearing this, Ling Chen grinned and winked at Nanrong Hao. The kid sure knew how to talk.


    Indeed, after Nanrong Hao said that, a faint smile appeared on Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate face.


    "You’ve been busytely, haven’t seen you around, even Xiaozhu and Shiyun don’t know what you’re up to."


    "Busy, my hair is practically turning white," Ling Chenughed and said, "But it’s almost over, I might get a proper rest soon." Speaking of which, Ling Chen shifted the conversation and asked, "Have those guys from Hu Zhichun been dealt with?"


    After getting that list, Ling Chen handed it directly to Nanrong Wanqing. After all, it was amercial matter, better left to Nanrong Wanqing. As for how Nanrong Wanqing handled it, he wasn’t very clear.


    Nanrong Wanqing nodded, "Thanks to your help this time, Hongyu Group managed to get through it smoothly. You not only helped Hongyu Group but also saved our Nanrong Family, thank you!"


    "No need to be polite."


    "Exactly, no need for formalities among family," Nanrong Hao chuckled, joining the conversation.


    Nanrong Wanqing blushed, rolled her eyes at Nanrong Hao, signaling him to be quiet. At this point, the ne’s pilot poked his head out of the cabin and waved, "Chairman, we should take off now."


    "Chen, we’re heading off then."


    "Safe travels, call me if you need anything." With that, Ling Chen looked at Nanrong Wanqing and reminded, "Take good care of yourself when you return, don’t overwork. Try leaving more responsibilities to Haozi; it’s time for him to develop independence."


    "I know, you take care of yourself too."


    Watching the ne disappear into the sky, Ling Chen went straight to the airport exit. At around 2:10 PM, a petite figure appeared in the exit path.


    Ling Chen waved his arms and shouted, "Little Hua!"


    Upon hearing Ling Chen’s call, Little Hua dragging arge suitcase ran over.


    "Big Brother!"


    Ling Chen coughed lightly and awkwardly smiled, "Little Hua, maybe you shouldn’t call me ’Big Brother’ anymore; it sounds awkward now." Previously, Ling Chen wouldn’t have minded. But since learning Little Hua’s true identity, he felt that ’Big Brother’ was no longer appropriate.


    Despite Little Hua’s body looking like a child of three or four, her actual age was over twenty, she was indeed an adult. Back then, Ling Chen had been kept in the dark, treating Little Hua as a child. Now thinking back, Ling Chen could only feel chills all over.


    Little Hua pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, "Why can’t I call you Big Brother, do you want me to call you Uncle?"


    Ling Chen gave a wry smile, "Please spare me, my lord."


    "Hmph! Not fun, you’re not as cute as you used to be."


    Cute?


    Could this word be used to describe him? ’Tall and mighty’ sounded more fitting. Ling Chen sighed helplessly, deciding not to argue with her. He knew that arguing with this girl would only lead to his loss.


    Back in the car, Little Hua sat in the passenger seat, about to buckle the seatbelt when Ling Chen said, "Sit in the back, kids can’t sit in the front, I don’t want trouble with traffic police."


    Little Hua looked up at Ling Chen, seriously saying, "Didn’t you say I’m an adult? Since I’m an adult, why can’t I sit in the front?"


    Oh, dear!


    Ling Chen pped his forehead, this girl was too hard to please.


    "Alright, alright! Not teasing you anymore." Saying that, Little Hua obediently crawled to the back seat, took out a lollipop from her pocket, and began to eat.


    Starting the car, Ling Chen said, "Mr. Ye is in a meeting, I’ll take you to his house first. When he gets off work in the evening, we’ll have dinner together."


    "No way." Little Hua bit into the lollipop andined, "In East Sea City, Master ignores me; now, Senior Brother ignores me here too. Sending me to Senior Brother’s house is like putting me in prison; I don’t want to go."


    Ling Chen felt a bit of a headache, "Then where do you want to go?"


    "I don’t know, wherever it’s fun."


    "I still have things to doter, no time to take you to an amusement park. How about another day?"


    "How about this, you do your thing, and I’ll tag along. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you. How’s that?"
