Chapter 164: Pursuit Day 1

As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, before Madam Xiao could say anything, Qianqian peeked out from her arms, stared at Li Qinyan for a while, and then her big round eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hula Hoop Sister!"

The adults present were somewhat bewildered by the child's strange nickname, but Madam Xiao stared at Li Qinyan for a while before suddenly realizing, "She really is Hula Hoop Sister!"

Ye Wanxi chuckled: "This nickname is interesting, what's the story behind it?"

"The children's channel that Sisi likes to watch often has a small commercial featuring several girls dancing and spinning hula hoops. Sisi really likes one of the girls and always calls her 'Hula Hoop Sister'."

"I see." Ye Wanxi turned to look at the little one and smiled slightly. "Isn't the hula hoop sister's dancing especially beautiful?"

"She's beautiful, prettier than all the other girls."

Madam Xiao wasn't stupid. Ye Wanxi's intentional or unintentional mention of the young artist in front of her was clearly meant to make her remember this person so that it would be easier to take care of her.

Madam Xiao knew Ye Wanxi's abilities and trusted her judgment, so she said, "I never expected that the hula hoop sister that our Qianqian likes the most would be in our own company. This is truly a rare coincidence. I must talk to my Yuti about it when we get back."

Li Qinyan was still a little confused about the situation, but her agent couldn't help but show surprise and delight.

Having achieved her goal, Ye Wanxi stopped trying to persuade Li Qinyan and the other woman to travel with them.

"Sister Gao and I still need to go upstairs to sign the contract. You must have other things to do too, right?"

It was already a pleasant surprise that she had the chance to make an appearance in front of the big boss's wife by sheer coincidence, and Li Qinyan's agent knew when to stop while she was ahead.

"Qinyan has another engagement to attend to later, so I'm afraid I have to take my leave now."

Madam Xiao nodded: "Work is important, you should go ahead."

What happened today was too sudden and too bizarre for Li Qinyan; she was practically dragged out by her own manager.

The moment she stepped out of the company gate, her mind was completely blank, until her agent tentatively asked her a question.

"How about we choose this script?"

Ye Wanxi was unaware of the little incident that had happened between the two of them.

Sisi clung to her and refused to get down. Madam Xiao couldn't bear to see her like that and wanted her to get down and walk on her own.

Unexpectedly, this usually well-behaved little guy became unusually willful and refused to get down no matter what anyone said.

Ye Wanxi had no choice but to carry her upstairs.

"Doesn't Sisi have school today? Why is she at the company? Did she come with her mother to see her father?"

"No, Sisi came here specifically to see Sister Wanxi."

"Looking for me?"

"Mom said that Sister Wanxi got a job to pet Da Tuan Tuan. Qianqian also wants to pet Da Tuan Tuan. Can Sister Wanxi take Qianqian with her?"

Ye Wanxi was stunned. So they came for the big round balls! Sure enough, not many people can resist the temptation of the big round balls!

"Who told you that Sister Wanxi was going to touch Da Tuan Tuan?"

"It's Dad."

"President Xiao?" Ye Wanxi turned to look at Madam Xiao inquiringly.

“Didn’t you recently join a variety show? Yuti heard about it when she came to the company. She went back and kept telling me that the zoo you’re going to visit seems to have pandas. I heard that when you went on another variety show before, you caused chaos in the neighboring farmers’ market. Maybe this time when you go to the zoo, even the pandas will have to bow down to you.”

What Mrs. Xiao didn't say was that her husband was incredibly jealous when he talked about it, wishing he were the one who had the chance to cuddle the big dumpling.

“Sisi happened to be eating nearby when her dad told her that you might have a chance to touch a panda, so she insisted on coming to find you.”

After listening to Madam Xiao's explanation, Ye Wanxi looked down and met the child's expectant eyes, and said guiltily, "Ahem, I have to go to work and can't take Qianqian with me."

The light in her big eyes dimmed instantly, and her eyes welled up with tears, like a tap that had been turned on, swaying left and right, ready to burst forth at any moment.

Ye Wanxi was instantly overwhelmed by guilt for bullying the child, and quickly tried to salvage the situation by saying, "But, I can bring you a picture of Da Tuan Tuan!"

"A photo of Da Tuan Tuan?"

"Yes, I'll take photos of both the big and small Tuan Tuan for you."

Sisi immediately held back the tears welling up in her eyes. "Okay, then I want lots and lots of photos of big and small Tuan Tuan!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take pictures of you, I'll take pictures of all of you."

The little one then stopped crying and started laughing, no longer pestering Ye Wanxi to take her to touch the big ball.

As the group was talking, the assistant who had previously delivered the dress to Ye Wanxi ran over again carrying two more items.

"Sister Gao, the florist delivered some flowers, saying they're for Sister Ye. And this box, I've checked it, there's nothing dangerous about it."

"The florist?" Gao Min's eyelids twitched as she looked at the conspicuously large bouquet of red roses, and she began to guess who had delivered the flowers.

He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It must have been sent by a fan. Give it to me."

Ye Wanxi frowned at her expression, recalling what Feng Tianyu had said last night, her eyes brightening slightly: "A gift for me? Let me see it."

"Wanxi, these flowers must have been sent by a fan. I can just take them with me when I take out the trash later."

The more Gao Min acted this way, the more curious Ye Wanxi became. She temporarily put down the child in her arms and reached out her hand to her.

"Since it was a gift from a fan, it's a token of their appreciation, how can I just throw it away? Give it to me."

"But such a large bouquet of roses, if it gets photographed, who knows what rumors will spread."

"I'm at the company now, not out in the open, so why should I be afraid of being photographed? Okay, enough nonsense, give me the flowers."

Seeing that Ye Wanxi was starting to get angry, Gao Min sighed and finally handed over the flowers.

Ye Wanxi rummaged through the flowers and found a card with a simple and unadorned love quote written on it.

"I hope to be with you every day from now on, for a long, long time."

As expected, the signatory was that familiar OO.

Ye Wanxi's face flushed slightly, while Gao Min's teeth ached from watching, and she cursed inwardly that scumbags always love to say sweet words!

Madam Xiao was unaware of the intricacies involved. She glanced at the large bouquet of roses, then at Ye Wanxi's slightly flushed face, and teased, "This bouquet of roses is so big, there must be ninety-nine of them. There are dewdrops on the flowers, so they must have been picked recently. The thorns have all been removed, which must have taken a lot of effort. Wanxi is quite a dedicated fan."

Ye Wanxi understood her teasing and shyly hugged the flowers tighter to her chest to hide her burning face.

"Give me that box too."

Gao Min reluctantly reached for it, but before her hand even touched it, she heard a "thud" and the whole box shook.

"!!!"
