The voice on the other end was silent for a fraction of a second, before steadily replying, "I know."

He paused before adding, "Don't worry."

Those simple words from him were like an anchor for her. Immediately, it stilled the wild thumping of her heart.

She drew a deep breath and spoke, "Okay. Where are you?"

"At a business meeting," his answer was concise.

Then she heard the ring of soft, deep laughter coming from the other end. After a pause, he said, "Xiao Qiao, are you worrying that I won't be able to feed the family?"

He had thrown out 50 million without batting an eyelid.

She was moved by his love and friendship.

She cleared her throat and looked up. "It's okay. If a time comes that you can't feed the family, I'll work and keep you well-fed."
