"But Siqi has never traveled abroad alone before..."

Xie Li gave Jiang Yuying's hand a light tap. Her delicate hand immediately reddened from the tap, startling her. She didn't finish her sentence, just looked at her husband with a helpless expression.

"Other kids manage to survive abroad through hard work and frugality. Do you think I would deprive him of a single penny? If he can endure some hardships, it might do him good and make him understand how tough the world can be. He shouldn't be fixated on his sister's measly money," Xie Li said with righteousness, though deep down, he felt relieved at the thought of Siqi being sent abroad.

As Xie Li primarily interacted with Siqi, even if the female protagonist had a chance to meet him, it would have to go through Siqi.

If Siqi was sent abroad, he wouldn't see Shen Xiuyue either.

Seeing Jiang Yuying still somewhat worried, Xie Li decided to address his thoughts directly. Being only twenty-six and prone to impatience, he didn't hesitate.

Xie Li almost didn't hesitate and directly said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll come to the company with me and work as my secretary. We'll find another financial team to handle the household accounts, and you'll just need to look at their reports. Let the steward oversee them." Xie Li truly believed that a flower arranging class would do nothing to distract Jiang Yuying, who was still concerned about their two children.

Jiang Yuying wanted to refuse when Xie Li said this, but the words of refusal couldn't come out of her mouth. She wasn't thinking about learning anything; she just wanted to be by Xie Li's side and be a lookout for potential threats.

With her reasoning settled, Jiang Yuying's grip tightened on the hand Xie Li was holding, and her eyes became eager. Xie Li understood. Jiang Yuying, after all, was a graduate of a prestigious university. It was rare for her usually relaxed mind to have an opportunity to focus, and now that she had convinced herself, how could she not be eager?

However, Jiang Yuying still looked somewhat hesitant, with furrowed brows and a conflicted expression. But there was excitement in her eyes. "Since you've thought about it so much... considering it's also our family's company, I'll... go take a look..."

After chatting for a while, the maid came to announce that lunch was ready, so Xie Li took Jiang Yuying to eat. It wasn't just Xie Li's imagination; he felt Jiang Yuying's steps were noticeably lighter. Throughout the afternoon, she kept asking Xie Li what preparations she needed to make, but these preparations were for her role as a secretary, not for their son's overseas study preparations.

She had already put her beloved son out of her mind. After all, in the past, Jiang Yuying rarely intervened in her son's affairs, mostly leaving it to the original.

But Xie Li wasn't the original anymore. He wouldn't work tirelessly for Siqi as the original had. He immediately instructed the steward to cooperate with Xie Junhe's people to quickly arrange for Siqi's study abroad.

Xie Junhe's efficiency was impressive. In less than a week, everything related to Siqi's study abroad was settled. When Siqi learned of this, he was dumbfounded. He even stormed into Xie Li's office during work hours, shouting, "Dad! How can you do this to me?!"

Xie Li was studying past cases of the Xie Group with his laptop open when he heard someone enter. He closed his laptop and set it aside. Calmly, he raised his head, clasped his hands in front of him, and looked at his son, who was leaning on the table with an indignant expression.

Seeing his son so agitated, Xie Li felt no sympathy at all and even felt like laughing.

"Is it about studying abroad?"

Although Siqi usually appeared composed, he was just a young man who hadn't graduated from university yet. At this moment, he couldn't maintain his composure, and his face clearly showed his frustration: 'You know and still ask?'

Leaning back in his chair, Xie Li didn't take Siqi's angry gaze seriously at all.

"Then you should talk to your grandfather about this matter, not me," Xie Li said, cutting off Siqi's words.

He wanted Siqi to stay away from him, giving him some peace and quiet.

"I think you really need to study abroad for a few years, endure some hardships, and cool your head."

After hearing Xie Li's words, Siqi still looked unwilling, prompting Xie Li to raise his voice a bit. "Xiao Gao, assist Mr. Xie and send him out. I'm about to start working."

Assistant Gao, who was waiting outside the door when Siqi entered, quickly pushed the door open and entered. He approached Siqi with a relatively gentle attitude. "Young Master Xie, Mr. Xie is about to start working. Please leave first."

With a cold snort, Siqi ignored Gao and left without a word. Later, Gao told Xie Li that Siqi didn't return to the secretary's office to work and, according to the security guard, had left directly.
