In the middle of the dance, Bai Qinghuan felt a sudden push, and the next second she realized that the man opposite her had changed.

Liu Chenghan was clearly taken aback for a moment, but he didn't react in any particular way and continued jumping up.

Bai Qingzhi almost fell, but luckily the large hands around her waist pulled her up.

She looked up and saw the culprit, Xiao Yuan, looking at her with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Bai Qingzhi asked, frowning slightly.

"I was dancing too hard just now and accidentally bumped into Miss Bai," Xiao Yuan blurted out.

Bai Qingzhi knew he was doing it on purpose, and rolled her eyes at him.

As the music changed, the lights gradually dimmed, and Bai Qingzhi lowered her head, wishing it would end soon.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan could see nothing else; his large hand holding her waist was burning hot.

"Brother Yuan, are you hot?" Bai Qingzhi hesitated for a long time before finally asking.

The room wasn't cold at all; she wasn't chilly at all despite wearing a formal dress, and even felt a slight sweat after dancing for a while.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan was wearing a long-sleeved suit, complete with a tie and shirt, and she could vaguely see beads of sweat on his forehead.

Xiao Yuan was almost amused by her. He knew that his clothes were all custom-made, and the fabric was of the highest quality. How could they be hot?

If I hadn't been so close to her and my mind hadn't been wandering, would I have been sweating?

However, he didn't dare to say it out loud for the time being, so he nodded in acknowledgment and took off his coat.

Suddenly, the straps of a shirt were revealed, and Bai Qingzhi felt a blur before her eyes, her mouth watering involuntarily.

She swallowed hard, then her face turned bright red, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

"The music is so loud, he probably didn't hear it, right?" Bai Qingzhi thought to herself.

Xiao Yuan almost burst out laughing, but he couldn't show it on his face.

Wow, my face and body have such a huge impact on Zhizhi!

As if on purpose, Xiao Yuan moved closer to Bai Qingzhi, then suddenly changed the position of his hand, pressing her head against his chest.

The pounding of her heart was exceptionally clear in her ears, and Bai Qingzhi's face turned even redder, her neck even blushing with embarrassment.

"There was someone behind you just now, did they bump into you?" Xiao Yuan asked with concern, suppressing a smile.

Bai Qingzhi didn't hear what he said at all; all she could feel was the vibration from Xiao Yuan's chest as he spoke.

Just then, the music stopped, and Bai Qingzhi pushed her away and ran away.

Xiao Yuan knew that he had already made enough progress today and could not push his luck any further, so he smiled as he watched her flustered figure.

"Mr. Xiao." Suddenly, a soft female voice came from behind him. Xiao Yuan turned around and saw a girl looking at him from about a meter away.

After searching his memory and confirming that he didn't recognize the girl, Xiao Yuan suppressed his smile, nodded coldly, and turned to walk towards a corner seat.

Bai Fan watched Xiao Yuan's retreating figure and sighed softly.

"How did it go? Did you get a word in?" The third son of the Bai family popped out, his eyes shining as he asked.

"Dad, I'm probably not Mr. Xiao's type," Bai Fan said helplessly.

"So what if it's an arranged marriage? As long as Mrs. Xiao likes you, that's all that matters." The third son of the Bai family waved his hand dismissively, intending to make some plans with his wife.

On the other side, Bai Qingzhi ran to the garden and sat on a bench. Only when the wind blew did she feel her mind clear up a bit.

Touching her still wildly beating heart, Bai Qingzhi felt utterly bewildered.

After much thought, I could only attribute the problem to my own panic stemming from my lack of experience with the opposite sex.

"Miss Bai, why are you here all by yourself?" Liu Chenghan's voice came from behind her. Bai Qingzhi looked over and he continued:

"It was a bit hot inside, so I came out for some fresh air. I didn't expect to run into Miss Bai."

Bai Qingzhi smiled and then replied:

"Just call me Qingzhi."

Liu Chenghan also sat down on the bench, but there was a space between them, about one person's distance.

"What are Qingzhi's hobbies?" Liu Chenghan asked, tilting his head, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a warm light.

"Hobbies? Jewelry design, I guess," Bai Qingzhi replied after thinking for a moment.

“Then the jewelry you design will definitely be gentle.” Liu Chenghan nodded in agreement.

“My hobby is acting. I finally managed to get two more years from my parents, but after that I have to go back home to manage the company.” Liu Chenghan’s tone was tinged with regret.

Bai Qingzhi felt sorry for him; he couldn't even do what he wanted.

"I don't think anyone likes being in charge, except for my older brother, who's a workaholic," Bai Qingzhi replied playfully.

They both burst into laughter instantly, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and their relationship seemed to have grown closer.

The next day, Bai Qingzhi slept until late morning before getting up. When she picked up her phone, she found that Lin Nuannuan had sent her countless messages.

The words written above are incoherent and nonsensical.

When I called back, the other end rang for a long time without being answered, and I felt a little uneasy, so I kept calling.

Finally, the phone was answered, but it was a man.

"Who is it, disturbing people's sleep so early in the morning?" The man was clearly not fully awake.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a woman's voice rang out.

"Xiao Yangjing, what did you do to me?" It was Lin Nuannuan.

"What did I do to you? What did you do to me?" Xiao Yangjing roared.

"You've proven my innocence!"

Then came a tearing sound, followed by a few seconds of silence, and then the call was disconnected.

Bai Qingzhi was stunned, staring blankly at the phone screen, her CPU running at full speed.

She called Lin Nuannuan and Xiao Yangjing answered, and the two of them even slept together??

The two knew each other because of Bai Qingzhi, but their relationship was not deep.

Feeling dizzy, Bai Qingyu went out to fool around, her second brother went to film a movie, her father and eldest brother went to work, her mother met up with friends to play cards, and her sister was nowhere to be found. She was all alone in the house.

Suddenly, she remembered the rose garden of the Xiao family, and her mind began to wander.

Since Xiao Yuan's parents don't live with him and his brother Xiao Yangjing, and Xiao Yuan is at work now and Xiao Yangjing isn't home, could I go and visit them?

The more she thought about it, the more it itched to call. The first time Xiao Yuan took her home, he left his phone number. Bai Qingzhi stroked the number on the phone for a while before pressing the call button.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan was in a meeting, and the report prepared by his subordinates was utterly worthless.

Everyone watched their boss's dark face with trepidation, thinking they were in for a scolding, when a bell rang.

Everyone was shocked. Everyone in the company knew that President Xiao hated meetings where the music wasn't muted, especially not such a melodramatic song like "Love You".

Just as everyone was quietly trying to figure out who was so fearless, they saw their boss's gloomy demeanor vanish, and he walked out with a happy expression.

"Assistant, is the CEO in love?" A manager was so curious he couldn't help but gossip.

"Don't ask any unsolicited questions, or I won't be able to protect you if you offend the president," the assistant replied expressionlessly.
