Bai Junbai stared at her for a long time before finally letting go of her hand and saying softly, "Okay, how long do you need? Two days, two months, or two years?"

Lin Taozi really wanted to say it would take two years, but she didn't dare to say it that way. In the end, she could only choose a number in the middle, "Two, two months."

"Fine, two months it is. You'd better think it over carefully. If I call you during this time, you must answer. If you don't answer, I'll come find you myself." When he gets domineering, he's unreasonable.

"Oh, I see." Lin Taozi just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible; she was going crazy if she stayed with him any longer.

This time, Lin Taozi was seen by Bai Ruan again when she left Bai Junbai's room. Bai Ruan was about to go downstairs when he heard the door open and he subconsciously turned around to look.

"Taozi, I think there are some things you need to explain." Last time, Bai Ru'an went directly to Bai Junbo, who said that nothing had happened between them and even gave an explanation. Bai Ru'an chose to believe him and didn't ask Lin Taozi again.

Bai Ru'an thought the matter was over, but history repeated itself today. His face turned ashen as he realized that things were not so simple.

"Brother-in-law, I..." Lin Taozi tried to explain.

"Come with me and explain things clearly. I want to hear the truth." Bai Ruan interrupted her and walked to the public balcony first.

Everyone knows that Lin Taozi is the most obedient and well-behaved one, but she can also lie, like now.

She told Bai Ru'an about the misunderstanding with Bai Junbai at the hotel. Apart from the mistake of barging into Bai Junbai's room, everything else was caused by Bai Junbai, and she was forced to cooperate.

"...Because I wronged him once, he kept threatening me with it, making me run errands for him and be his follower. He was just messing with me, wasting my time, and not letting me have any fun..." Lin Taozi chattered on and on, complaining about many things, but they were all trivial matters.

Bai Ru'an's ears were ringing. He wanted to remind her, but then a servant called to him, "Young Master, the Young Madam wants you to come downstairs."

"We'll talk about it later. Stay away from my second uncle in the future, and don't keep going to his room." Bai Ru'an frowned, sensing that there was something between the two, but he had no evidence and couldn't just say anything.

"Brother-in-law, please don't tell my sister yet. She's working very hard taking care of her nephew, and I don't want her to worry more because of me." Actually, she was afraid of being scolded, and even more afraid that her sister would stop her from continuing to act.

Bai Ru'an nodded slightly. She didn't want Lin Xiazhu to worry too much, so she hadn't told her about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dragged it out until now. Second Uncle and Taozi really weren't a good match.

Regardless of their personalities or social status, not only did he feel they were incompatible, but his grandfather would likely be even more opposed. As for Xiaozhu, she didn't have a good impression of her second uncle and Song Yuheng. Taozi was too naive, and she would absolutely not let her second uncle take Taozi away.

After the two went downstairs one after the other, Bai Junbai came out of the room. He smiled meaningfully. He knew that his nephew and niece-in-law would definitely oppose him being with Lin Taozi, and even his father would oppose it. It could be said that no one thought they were a good match.

So what?

Once he made up his mind, no one could change it. He wanted to get married. This was the first time he had this thought. It was that stupid woman, Lin Taozi, who made him think of this. Who told her to barge into his room that day and even try to pounce on him in the bathroom? From that day on, it was destined that they would be entangled forever.

This is just damn fate.

Lin Taozi shivered, feeling as if a pair of eyes were watching her from behind.

"What's wrong? Why are you acting so strange?" Lin Xiaoxue noticed that something was wrong with her expression.

"No, I need to go to the restroom." Lin Taozi made an excuse to avoid being questioned.

"Big sister, don't you think Taozi has been acting strangely lately? She's definitely hiding something from us," Lin Xiaoxue said with certainty.

Lin Xiazhu glanced at her and said leisurely, "Stop staring at Taozi. What could she possibly be up to? Do you think it's you who's always causing me trouble? I'd like to ask you, what have you been up to lately?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me? It's just filming and traveling. I rarely show my face these days and keep a very low profile. Have you noticed that I haven't been in the news lately?" she asked everyone present.

Yan Xin said that she hadn't seen Lin Xiaoxue cause trouble in a long time, but what excited her the most was, "By the way, Lin Xiaoxue, after you broke up with Song Yuheng, have you really not had another boyfriend?" Lin Xiaoxue didn't seem like such a well-behaved person.

"Is there a problem, Sister Yanxin? You're thirty and still haven't found a man to ease your jealousy. It's normal for me to put up with it for a year or two." Ha, trying to get information out of her won't be that easy.

Yan Xin was nearly choked to death. How could she be compared to Lin Xiaoxue?

There is no point of comparison.

"I have no plans to get married in this lifetime. How can you compare to me? You even went for someone like Song Yuheng, which shows that you..."

Yan Xin choked halfway through her sentence, not for any particular reason, but because she happened to see the very person she had verbally attacked walking towards them.

"Why did you stop talking? Continue, Miss Yan. Please explain what kind of person I am. I'm really curious." He was chatting with a few acquaintances when he suddenly heard someone behind him call him out, and what followed was clearly not a nice thing.

This was a public place, and the people he was chatting with were all old friends. It was not a good thing to be gossiped about in front of people. No matter how much he didn't care, he still had to maintain a basic level of dignity, so he walked over before Yan Xin said anything unpleasant.

It's really not good to talk about someone behind their back. Yan Xin felt guilty and remained silent for a moment.

"Hi, Xiaoxue, long time no see. How have you been?" Song Yuheng greeted his ex-girlfriend with a grin. After breaking up with Lin Xiaoxue, they rarely saw each other. Later, he dated many other girlfriends, but Lin Xiaoxue seemed to have remained single.

"Won't she still be hung up on him?" Song Yuheng looked at Lin Xiaoxue with a strange expression. "That's not a big deal."

"Can't you tell if I'm good or not... What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?" Hmph, this rooster, she can tell what he's thinking the moment he sticks out his butt. "You don't think I'm still hung up on you, do you? You'd better save your breath, unless you give me a hundred million."

He still only had money in his eyes. He must have lost his mind to think she still had feelings for him. No, Lin Xiaoxue and he had only ever had interests in each other. She had never liked him and had only been attracted to his looks and money.

Tsk, it's still pretty frustrating to think about. Even though he was only attracted to her looks and youth, this time he was the one who got dumped. He's always the one in control in relationships, and he's always the one who initiates the breakups.

When it came to Lin Xiaoxue, he wanted to break up but couldn't, because she was Bai Ruan's sister-in-law, and Bai Junbai also threatened him not to play around with her casually. So he spent a lot of money on Lin Xiaoxue until she got tired of him.

Well, you can't blame anyone else. He can only blame himself for not being able to control himself and reaching out to his friend's relative. He won't get a share of the money without paying a price.
