"Dad, Mom..."

Fucheng Airport, 8 PM...

In the crowd, Xiaofan immediately recognized his parents. After calling out, he quickly went over to help carry their things.

"Hmm. You've grown taller."

"Xiaofan, come here, let Mom have a good look at you... Wow, my son is getting more and more handsome."

"Of course, he has my style from back in the day."

Even after years of not seeing each other, it hadn't distanced the relationship between the father and son. His mother remained as kind as ever, although he'd heard that when she first got together with his father, she had a fiery temper and kept him under control.

Their clothes weren't very meticulous, and even though they just got off the plane, the suits that had been eroded by dust over the years and turned a pale yellow still showed the rustic flavor of his father.

After all, being originally from the countryside, even if they had money now, they were still country folks.

This time they took on a contract for a project, thanks to the money Xiaofan sent over in time, the project could be completed on schedule, and a large amount of wages was settled before the New Year.

So, after paying the workers, Ye Dashan led his wife home for a festive New Year.

"Dad, why are you shaking?"

In the car, Ye Dashan's right leg kept trembling, making Xiaofan curious.

"Oh, your dad, it was his first time flying. As soon as he got on the plane, he kept saying he wouldn't stay on, and all the way until we landed he didn't dare look out the window. Even after we landed, he needed a ten-minute rest before daring to stand up and get off. I guess he's still not over it now."

"Hey, it's an old problem. I'm not afraid of the plane at all, it just flies a bit higher, no need to lose face in front of my son."

"Dad, the project is completed, you won't have to go back after the New Year, right?" Xiaofan grinned and asked casually.

"I'll have to go, leaving on the third day..."

"So soon? I have money, I can take care of you guys." Xiaofan indeed didn't want his parents to work so hard outside anymore.

Hearing this, Ye Dashan suddenly fell silent, quietly gazing out of the car window...

"Xiaofan, if I don't find something to do, I'd feel wasted. I know you made money, but I'm not old yet. When I really want to rest, do you think I won't rely on you to support me?"

"Hmm? Makes sense." Xiaofan nodded.

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, every day at the construction site he brags about how amazing his son is, how big his business is, gosh, it's wealthy. But when people ask him why you're still working so hard when your son is so rich, he can't explain it. Really..."

"Then, Mom... you should come live in Capital City. I'll take care of you."

"Me? I'd love to, but your dad here can't wash clothes, can't cook, spends all day working at the construction site and comes home late, loves drinking too, if I'm not there to care for him, who knows what illnesses he could get?"

"Feeling that life lacks excitement?" Ye Dashan suddenly said.

"Dad? What are you talking about?" Xiaofan asked, puzzled.

"I didn't study well when I was young, and later when I joined the workforce I realized how hard it is to make money. At that time, I'd just gotten married, and I couldn't let your mom starve with me, so I tried desperately to find ways to make money. Then you came along, and the desire to earn even more grew. Later, things stabilized, and your mom didn't have to worry about food or clothes, but we never really traveled anywhere nice."

"Why bring this up? You're quite old now."

"Hey, but look at Xiaofan, we can't just have you and not care at all, right? So, just like taking on a project, making some money, waiting until you graduate from college, marry a wife, buy a house, so you and your wife can work and live well. But for some reason, when I heard you made money, the burden on my shoulders lightened, but suddenly I lost my aim. Yeah, without a goal. I thought this was an era of 'fatherly competition,' and as a father, I should earn more to make your life easier. Hey, and now you just drop a million, almost knocked me out. I don't know why I should still work so hard anymore?"

His father's words touched Xiaofan deeply; the parents' doting on their child is always kept within. Although his father often told him on the phone that if he couldn't find a job, he should buy a taxi and drive it around H City, he was always planning for him.

Even though in these twenty years, father and son spent much more time apart than together, Xiaofan was never an immature child, not back then, and certainly not now.

"Then take Mom and travel the world. After all Mom has suffered with you for so long, it's time to let her relax a bit."

This suggestion of Xiaofan's made his parents fall silent in the car.

"But I promised the workers, after the New Year, we continue with the projects, they're relying on me to earn a living, I can't just gather them and then leave them behind, right? I just signed contracts for three new projects before coming back, I can't just say I'm not doing them, right? I've already received the deposit." Ye Dashan said, troubled.

"Wow, seems like you're expanding. Then finish it and go later, anyway, your son, has money now."

After saying this, Ye Dashan turned to look at his wife, then smiled: "Listen to the boy; after the New Year, once the project's done, we go on a trip."

"Fine, but remember to bring Grandpa."

"My old dad? Come on, I've barely seen him leave home, and even if he goes out he's back in three to five days; take him traveling? Within a week, he'd be clamoring to return home." Ye Dashan knew his father's habits well.

But then, who was Ye Aotian? In his younger days, he traveled to numerous places, and although he didn't travel the entire world, the Three Great Heavenly Kings had left their footprints in many countries. Otherwise, the title Three Great Heavenly Kings wasn't given lightly. Even with Ren Zhongtian's great abilities, without showing them off around the world, he couldn't possibly have become the world War God, right?

On New Year's Eve, Xiaofan, his parents, and his grandfather spent it together.

Firecrackers and fireworks were deafening, the lights bright, everyone together was welcoming the New Year.

Regarding Xiaofan's matter, Ye Aotian didn't plan to tell Ye Dashan and his wife, and Xiaofan also planned to keep it secret. The situation was clear now, and saying it would only add worry.

The family spent a few warm and cheerful days, and eventually, Ye Dashan still caught the return train. Well, avoiding planes and taking trains, it seems his fear of flying isn't something he can cure for now. According to him, he is just someone with a humble life, unworthy of wealth and status.
