Chapter 98 The Fallen White Moonlight Returns Home 12

Xie Rong tore the business card to shreds, held the fragments in his hands, and raised them above Xing Xuan's head.

Her fingers loosened, and the shards clattered onto the man's face. They felt neither pain nor itch, yet were intensely humiliating.

To divert attention from the conflict, Xie Rong rolled her eyes and deliberately said, "If you're going to give someone a business card, give it to Lu Baichi. He's my boyfriend now, and I'll listen to him."

That way, Xing Xuan will think that Lu Baichi ordered him to do all the bad things! Including that slap just now, which Lu Baichi ordered him to do!

【Host is so smart!】The system hugged his neck and rubbed against him.

Xie Rong curled his lips into a smug smile.

Making trouble for Lu Baichi is a piece of cake.

"..." The man beside her had a tense jawline and a cold, sharp look in his eyes, too angry to speak.

After a long pause, she finally managed to stammer out a sarcastic remark, "You actually started dating him? What, did feeding him leftovers develop into maternal love?"

Xie Rong enjoys tormenting people, except for fools.

Because it's not challenging for idiots.

He pulled a business card from the system's mouth, stuffed it into Xing Xuan's suit pocket, and said in an innocent yet earnest tone, "This is the most famous psychiatrist in Kyoto. Go and have a look."

Xing Xuan gripped his hand tightly, clearly furious.

But to onlookers, it looked like the two were standing very close, even holding hands.

“Mr. Xing,” Lu Baichi’s assistant approached with a smile, “the seat Mr. Lu prepared for you is not here. Please come with me.”

"They can sit anywhere, what, are you targeting me?" Xing Xuan loosened his grip, slightly raised his chin, and casually adjusted his cuffs.

"As a distinguished guest of the Lu Group, you naturally deserve special treatment," the assistant said, his words perfectly tactful.

Xie Rong interjected, "Why do you all call him 'sir'?"

The assistant turned to look at him, his smile immediately becoming much more friendly. "The Xing family is quite particular."

“He sounds so old, at least thirty,” Xie Rong said with a straight face. “You’re not allowed to call me ‘sir’ anymore. I don’t want to sound as old as him.”

"Yes, thank you, young master." The assistant immediately corrected himself.

Xie Rong glanced at Xing Xuan with a smug look, feeling that he had once again outmaneuvered the other party.

Xing Xuan's handsome face darkened. He stood up abruptly and said coldly, "Aren't you going to lead the way? You, an assistant, are flirting with your boss's boyfriend?"

The assistant's lips twitched, and he took the opportunity to give Xie Rong an apologetic smile before finally leading the people away, completing the task assigned by Lu Baichi.

On stage, Lu Baichi finally looked away.

During a break in the bidding conference, another guest arrived late and pushed open the conference room door.

"Mr. Lu, I'm so sorry for being late," the man said. He had blond hair, was dressed in a suit and had an extraordinary air about him. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall and about the same height as Lu Baichi. He walked up to Lu Baichi in fluent Chinese.

Lu Baichi nodded to him indifferently, then squatted down next to Xie Rong's chair and continued peeling oranges for him.

"This must be Mr. Lu's wife, right?" The blond man's gaze shifted to Xie Rong, meeting Xie Rong's eyes without batting an eye, and he extended his hand. "Young Master Xie, I've long admired you. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xie Rong slowly ate the orange, ignoring him, her eyes even looking somewhat cold.

The blond man wasn't angry; his smile remained polite. "President Lu and Young Master Xie are truly a loving couple. According to an old Chinese saying, their five-year wait has finally paid off."

Lu Baichi's expression softened slightly: "Mr. Charles has come from afar, I apologize for not being able to greet you properly."

"Excuse me, where is the restroom?" Charles asked with a smile.

"Please follow me." An employee stepped forward to lead the way.

Charles glanced at Xie Rong casually, then turned and left.

After finishing the orange, Xie Rong licked the last bit of juice from his lips. "I'm going out for some fresh air; it's suffocating in here."

"I'll stay with you." Lu Baichi looked at him and wiped the orange peel from his lips with his fingertip.

"I don't want to," Xie Rong lifted his eyelids, "I'm just getting a little annoyed looking at you for too long."

Lu Baichi lowered his eyes and remained silent.

After a few seconds, he finally spoke: "Come back soon."

Xie Rong stood up straight, walked out of the conference room unhurriedly, glanced around without leaving a trace, and then went into the restroom.

As soon as he entered, he was pulled into the first toilet stall by a hand.

Xie Rong withdrew his hand and said unhappily, "What are you doing?"

"Looks like you've been doing quite well these days." Charles lowered his eyes to examine his increasingly beautiful features, as if he had been thoroughly nourished and matured by a man. "That watch on your wrist is nice, a gift from him?"

"The price is double that of your bracelet, don't you think?" Xie Rong casually stroked the slender watch strap. "And I don't have to pay it back."

The blond man chuckled. "You only pretended to collect the debt twice, and not only did you fail to collect it, you also lost a bracelet and a slap. And you still hold a grudge about that? Didn't I help you go back to your country? What, you've forgotten about the people abroad now that you're living a good life back home?"

"Don't worry, as long as you have your men cause some trouble for Lu Baichi, you'll win the new project." Xie Rong curled the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with disdain, effortlessly using the word "poisonous woman."

"So confident?" Charles asked meaningfully.

“He’s still very obedient,” Xie Rong said, pursing her lips in annoyance, “but I still hate him.”

Hate, jealousy, even just knowing that the other person is born with the protagonist's identity, makes one resentful enough to want the other person dead.

Charles raised an eyebrow, as if he was about to say something, when he suddenly noticed a faint red light flashing in Xie Rong's hair. He reached out and brushed aside the hair near Xie Rong's ear, only to see a small and exquisite diamond stud earring.

It seems that what he just felt was just his imagination.

Xie Rong slapped his hand away and coldly warned, "What are you doing? My earrings are very expensive."

“It’s nothing,” Charles smiled, still harboring some doubts. “Mr. Xie, then congratulations in advance on our successful collaboration.”

Xie Rong snorted coldly, pushed him aside, and walked out.

Two hours later, nearing dinner time, the bidding meeting concluded successfully.

As the company executives who had come to participate in the bidding left one after another, Gu Yuyan walked over to the two people who were still clinging to each other, hands behind his back, grinning maliciously. "Xie Rong."

As soon as Xie Rong saw him, she remembered what had just happened and glared at him irritably.

Gu Yuyan stared at his face, licked his lips, and said, "You look beautiful today."

After saying that, he glanced at Lu Baichi's indifferent expression, hummed a little tune, and left.

After everyone left, the group immediately convened another meeting to discuss the most suitable partner.

After Xie Rong finished eating the dinner his assistant brought, the meeting ended.

He pushed open the door and walked straight into the high-rise conference room.

There was no one on either side of the long table except for a man who was looking down and flipping through thick documents at his side.

Xie Rong rolled his eyes and straddled Lu Baichi.

"What's wrong?" Lu Baichi's attention immediately fell on him, his dark eyes fixed on him.

"Have you decided who to partner with?" Xie Rong put her arm around his neck and stole a glance at the documents in his hand.
