After hearing this, Xu Fei was initially a bit surprised.
Why would this girl suddenly want to study abroad there?
With Xu Fei’s current wealth, supporting Bai Feng’s studies anywhere in the world would be a breeze.
But of all the countries, this one gave Xu Fei some reservations.
After some thought, he recalled that while the Kawashima Ichio incident had ended, it hadn’t been fully resolved.
Xu Fei believed it would likely stir up trouble again.
So, he decided to grant Bai Feng’s request, figuring he could use protecting her as an excuse to visit Japan and root out the trouble there once and for all.
Feigning a moment of contemplation, Xu Fei nodded in agreement.
“No problem! Keep studying hard at school, and once the time comes to sort out the paperwork, I’ll go with you to ensure your safety!”
Bai Feng hadn’t expected Xu Fei to not only agree but also offer to accompany her for protection, which caught her off guard.
“Really, Brother Fei? That’s amazing! Thank you!”
Overcome with excitement, Bai Feng gave Xu Fei a big hug before scampering back to her room.
After she left, Xu Fei, feeling sleepy, wanted to rest early.
But as he returned to the bedroom, lifted the covers, and climbed into bed, Lin Qingxue, already lying on the other side, suddenly changed her expression.
“What’s that smell on you?”
Xu Fei nearly blurted out it was Bai Feng’s but realised that would only make things harder to explain.
So he started stammering, but Lin Qingxue wasn’t having it.
She yanked the entire blanket over herself, snorted, and said, “If you can’t explain, sleep in the study!”
Seeing Lin Qingxue a bit upset, Xu Fei could only sigh helplessly, grab a blanket from the wardrobe, and head to the study.
Luckily, Xu Fei was truly exhausted and fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow, whether in the bedroom or the study.
The next morning, Xu Fei saw Lin Qingxue humming a tune in the kitchen while cooking.
Feeling a wave of relief, he hurried over and hugged his wife.
This time, Lin Qingxue didn’t get mad, instead returning a sweet smile.
Xu Fei’s heart lightened considerably.
“Seems like they say couples fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot, it’s true!”
After breakfast, Xu Fei drove Bai Feng to the airport and watched her leave the capital.
For a long time afterward, Xu Fei led a relaxed life.
Daily life with his wife and kids seemed busy but was the idyllic lifestyle everyone envied.
While Xu Fei enjoyed his peaceful days, far away in Japan, the Kawashima family’s month-long cloud of gloom began to lift.
A month earlier, they discovered that Kawashima Chika, a key family member sent on a secret mission, had died.
The Kawashima family received no formal notice; they learned of her death through a secret family technique.
Every clan member sent on dangerous missions would leave behind a drop of their essence blood before departing.
