Zhou Jinfan's eyebrows jumped, and he pressed his forehead: "I don't need anyone's protection, go home quickly and stop making trouble."

"Brother, I'm not fooling around. I'm no longer the child who only knew how to hide behind you. I know what you want to protect, and from now on, I will help you protect it."

The boy's words were sincere and firm, with an unquestionable dominance that made Zhou Jinfan stunned for a moment.

When Zhou Jinfan reacted and wanted to say something, the phone was hung up.

His face darkened and he felt somewhat helpless about Zhou Junjie's behavior.

He says he is not a child anymore, but he acts so capriciously. How is he different from a child?

Grandpa Zhou loves this grandson the most. Over the years, Zhou Junjie has been spoiled and has become very willful in his behavior, completely disregarding the feelings of others. He is also impulsive and can easily do extreme things if he is not careful.

Now he has not confessed his identity as a member of the Zhou family to Nancy. The appearance of Zhou Junjie is like a time bomb that may explode at any time. He must get rid of Zhou Junjie as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jinfan's eyes darkened and he immediately made another call.

"Help me track down someone's whereabouts, and I'll pass on his information to you."

"The sooner the better. Tell me immediately if you find out."

After the information was sent, the other party called back.

"Brother, why did you suddenly think of investigating the Zhou family?" Zhu Di asked on the phone.

Zhou Jinfan didn't intend to hide it from him, and told him the truth: "Zhou Junjie came to Haicheng and also looked for Nancy and An An. I don't know what he wants to do, and I always feel uneasy."

"Don't worry too much. This kid has a good relationship with you, boss. He shouldn't hurt my sister-in-law and An An." Zhu Di comforted.

"But Nancy doesn't know my true identity yet, and I'm not ready to tell them mother and daughter yet." Zhou Jinfan lowered his voice.

Zhu Di was one of the few people who knew this secret. Upon hearing this, he fell silent for a moment.

"Brother, you used to worry that your sister-in-law would leave you after she knew your identity, and you didn't want the Zhou family's affairs to affect your small family. But now that you're back, the Zhou family will definitely find you. If you continue to hide it, what if your sister-in-law finds out one day? Then this misunderstanding..."

"I know." Zhou Jinfan paused, then added, "That day will never come."

After finishing the call, Zhou Jinfan's frown remained on his face until he was about to enter the door, when he hurriedly adjusted his facial expression.

When I got home, An An was sitting in Nancy's arms with sleepy eyes.

Seeing Zhou Jinfan coming back, she softly called out, "Dad."

The frost between Zhou Jinfan's brows melted away, and his handsome face was filled with tenderness: "An An, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Zhou Anan blinked slowly: "Dad, Anan has woken up, but her eyes are still a little sleepy."

Zhou Jinfan and Nancy couldn't help laughing when they heard the childish talk.

Nancy touched her daughter's soft little face and said, "An An hasn't slept well yet. Can we go to bed early tonight?"

An An nestled in Nancy's arms obediently: "Okay, Dad."

Nancy looked at Zhou Jinfan puzzledly: "Why did you take so long to come back?"

Zhou Jinfan's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm: "I just received a call."

"Are you okay?"

Nancy looked at the man in front of her and always felt that he seemed to be hiding something.

They had been married for so many years and had never had a quarrel. Although they hadn't even been married seven years, the seven-year itch that others talked about hadn't happened yet, Nancy was willing to believe that no matter how many times that seven-year itch came, Zhou Jinfan would still treat her as if they had just met.

After all, when they first met, she appeared in front of him at her most unbearable side. He could accept and tolerate her even at that time, so naturally, it would not change in the future.

"It's okay, Nancy..." Zhou Jinfan's words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.

"Well, what's wrong?" Nancy helped her daughter tidy up her hair and looked up at him in confusion.

Looking at his wife's clear eyes, Zhou Jinfan felt guilty. He hated himself for being selfish and lying to her in order to keep his wife by his side.

"Nothing." Zhou Jinfan looked away.

But Nancy always felt that he was hiding something from her, so she simply put her daughter down and said, "An An, go play over there for a while. Mommy and Daddy will have a chat."

Zhou Anan ran away obediently.

Nancy turned to face Zhou Jinfan, gently held his slightly cold hand, looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Husband, are you really hiding this from me?"

Zhou Jinfan was torn between his conscience and his own desires, but he was more worried about making Nancy angry. After a moment's hesitation, he replied, "Well, I'm not hiding anything from you."

"But I see that you look a little pale. Did you not sleep well last night?" Nancy asked with concern.

Zhou Jinfan held the little woman's soft hand, squeezed it, and then put it to his lips and kissed it.

"I didn't sleep well," he said.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"It was a beautiful dream. I dreamt that a mermaid kept swimming around me, and then I hugged the mermaid..."

Nancy blushed immediately. She knew that the mermaid Zhou Jinfan was talking about was herself.

At this moment, a cell phone suddenly rang.

"You answer the phone first." Nancy pulled her hand away.

Zhou Jinfan apologized to Nancy, "I'm going to answer a phone call."

Nancy smiled and waved at him.

Zhou Jinfan now works for a large company, so it is normal for him to be busy with work when he first takes office.

He walked to the balcony and answered the phone. His handsome face was no longer as warm as before. "What's up?"

The call was from Mr. Zhou.

He didn't bother to scold his grandson for being rude, and hurriedly said, "Ajie is lost!"

There was a hint of irony in Zhou Jinfan's calm eyes.

As expected of the most beloved grandson of the Zhou family, as soon as he left, the usually calm and composed leader of the Zhou family was thrown into disarray.

"Grandpa has great magical powers. This will definitely not be difficult for you."

Old Master Zhou was choked. Hearing his sarcasm, his eagerness to take his grandson back calmed down a little.

"Jin Fan, you're brothers after all. Ajie sneaked off to Haicheng without telling anyone. I guess he must be trying to find you. Has he contacted you?"

Zhou Jinfan was silent.

Old Master Zhou understood Zhou Jinfan's character and knew that he was very resistant to everyone in the Zhou family, so his voice couldn't help but soften.

"Whether Ajie has contacted you or not, since you are in Haicheng, please help look after him. We are all family."

Zhou Jinfan sneered: "No time."

Old Master Zhou sighed wearily and said earnestly, "Ajie has only been close to you since he was little. You know his temper. He's a child who never grows up. If he really gets into trouble in Haicheng, you'll still have to clean up the mess."

Zhou Jinfan leaned one hand on the balcony railing, his deep eyes gazing at the setting sun in the distance, an indescribable boredom welling up in his heart.

He said indifferently: "What you are talking about does not seem to be within the scope of Zhan Yi's business."
