"Xixi, what exactly is the ’Special Department’ your senior brother was talking about just now? Is that where you work?" Xia Yu asked.

"Big brother, you should know what I do for a living. The Special Department is short for the Special Mystical Department, a division dedicated to handling special national affairs. Previously, I was working at the division in Qing City. However, due to my work requirements, I was transferred here. Just before my transfer, I got promoted to the role of a group leader when I was resolving a case," Xia Xi explained.

"Isn’t your job quite risky?" Xia Yu said.

"Not always, we mainly deal with harmless spirits," Xia Xi said.

"Do be careful then. If there’s anything I can assist with, don’t hesitate to ask me." Xia Yu did not dare to discourage her from her job because he knew from their previous interactions that she quite enjoyed her work.

"Hmm, thank you, my big brother. I thought you would persuade me to quit this job," said Xia Xi, with a surprised smile.

"If you love what you do, then keep doing it! If not, just enjoy yourself like Yueyue does. Our family can afford to take care of you. You also have a share in the company. The dividends you receive every year would be enough for you to have fun around the globe," Xia Yu said.

"I quite enjoy my current job, so I don’t plan on quitting now. Maybe few years down the line, if I don’t feel like working anymore, I can just enjoy my life like Xia Yue," Xia Xi admitted with a nod and a smile.

"Hmm," Xia Yu nodded in acknowledgment.

Xia Yue, currently in Linzhou City, was surprised to receive a call from Xia Yu.

She knew that the Xia Family was hosting a banquet for Xia Xi today, so Xia Yu should be occupied, she thought.

However, Xia Yu told Xia Yue not to disclose her address to anyone who asks. Someone may want to give her trouble.

Xia Yue thanked Xia Yu for his warning and assured him that she wouldn’t reveal her location to anyone, as it was not currently safe to do so. She asked him not to worry about her safety.

Xia Yu felt a slight sense of relief after hearing that and then hung up the call.

"Ah, those people really don’t have anything better to do," Xia Yue shook her heads in disbelief.

She couldn’t believe that people were intending to harass her for their amusement. She hadn’t done anything to attract unnecessary attention. She had always kept a low profile and had minimal interaction with others.

"What happened?" The Lion Cat asked her.

"A bunch of idle people are trying to gain a sense of superiority by targeting me," replied Xia Yue.

"Why?" The Lion Cat asked, intrigued.

"I guess Xia Xi’s beauty struck them pretty hard tonight. Xia Xi is more beautiful than Xia Qing. If she gets all dolled up, I bet she’d be prettier than the first beauty of our city.

I’ve always been pretty average since childhood, giving those people an opportunity to feel superior.

Maybe this time they were taken aback by Xia Xi’s beauty and they want to restore their confidence by bothering me," said Xia Yue.

"Humans are indeed strange creatures," The Lion Cat voiced its confusion.

"I remember being added to a group. Those people are probably in it as well. Hehe, let me ask someone for the photos first," Xia Yue said with a sly chuckle.

Xia Yue calculated the time when their banquet was likely to be over, around 11 o’clock. So, she decided to contact Xia Yu.

Yuexia Touxian: Big brother, do you have any photos of Xia Xi from today? I’d love to see how stunning she looked!

Xia Yu had dropped Xia Xi back at her residence and was on his way home when he saw Xia Yue’s message.

Xia Yu: I do. What’s up?

Yuexia Touxian: Big brother, could you show me? I too want to appreciate her beauty. I’ve never seen her dressed up and in an evening gown.

Xia Yu didn’t know what she was up to, but he still sent her around a dozen photos of Xia Xi from that evening.
