This resulted in the little girl having no idea that she had brought him many gifts, and she didn't even have any impression of him!

Then came her eighteenth birthday, which Xiao Yuan always remembered, but unfortunately, the dinner party that day was very important.

Xiao Yuan, who was feeling frustrated because he couldn't celebrate the girl's birthday, went to the corridor to smoke. Before he had even finished half of his cigarette, he saw the girl he had been longing for walk out of another private room with a flushed face.

He didn't move, but Zhizhi bumped right into him.

However, it was obvious that the little girl had forgotten him.

It was at this time that Xiao Yuan's resentment towards Bai Qingyu reached its peak.

Bai Qingzhi clearly couldn't drink alcohol, and she was a little stunned when she saw his face, but Xiao Yuan still keenly saw a glimmer of light in her eyes.

This light also pierced Xiao Yuan's heart, causing him to have strange thoughts.

In the days that followed, Xiao Yuan frequently appeared in Zhizhi's life, but he dared not get too close and mostly watched from a distance.

At that time, he was content just to look at his child like that.

But things changed after that banquet. Zhizhi was bullied by a group of blind people, and Xiao Yuan personally stepped in to deal with them.

It was on that occasion when Zhizhi officially came to his home that Xiao Yuan felt that he could get a little closer to her.

What Bai Qingzhi didn't know was that ever since he learned she liked roses, Xiao Yuan had decisively replaced all the flowers in his backyard with roses, and he had personally taken care of them all.

Looking at the blooming roses, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but imagine what kind of expression Zhizhi would have if she saw them.

I never imagined that one day this fantasy would become a reality.

Zhizhi followed Qinghuai over to express her gratitude, and he naturally introduced her to his back garden. Xiao Yuan saw the joy on Zhizhi's face.

In that instant, Xiao Yuan's desire to get closer grew even stronger.

Love is something that's fine until it begins, but once it starts, it's like a flood that's burst its banks, and you can't stop it.

His ambition swelled with each approach, and the artificially created encounters made him increasingly unable to let go.

Xiao Yuan felt that if Zhizhi didn't fall in love with him in the end, he would probably turn into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

"Zhizhi, thank you for accepting me." At the end of his story, Xiao Yuan whispered in Bai Qingzhi's ear.

Bai Qingzhi was filled with mixed feelings. She had never known that Xiao Yuan had been involved in her life countless times without her noticing.

"No, I should be thanking you. It's my greatest luck that you like me." Bai Qingzhi looked up, her eyes full of sincerity.

Their eyes met, and the moonlight outside was enchanting.

Perhaps it was the darkness that made things too ambiguous, or perhaps it was the sincerity of Xiao Yuan's confession that led the two to kiss without realizing it.

And by the time Bai Qingzhi realized what was happening, the two of them had already rolled onto the big bed, and the situation was gradually spiraling out of control.

Bai Qingzhi buried her face in Xiao Yuan's shoulder, breathing through her mouth. The room was so quiet that only her panting could be heard.

This sound was like a potent drug to Xiao Yuan, making him increasingly unable to control himself.

Looking up at Xiao Yuan's flushed cheeks, Xiao Yuan felt his whole body tense up.

Under the moonlight, Bai Qingzhi saw that the other person's eyes were red. She knew more or less about this kind of thing.

But she is nervous and scared now, and is not fully prepared.

Xiao Yuan saw through her thoughts, and kissed her lips fiercely for a long time before finally sighing in resignation.

Holding the other person tightly in her arms, Bai Qingzhi dared not move an inch.

"Zhizhi, do you know how much pain I'm in..." Xiao Yuan's voice was hoarse.

He knew he had good self-control, but he never imagined it could be this good.

Xiao Yuan smiled to himself, thinking that if he were in ancient times, he would probably be the kind of gentleman who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

Xiao Yuan's eyes shifted back to the child's face, and his previous thoughts were completely shattered.

What a load of rubbish about being a gentleman who can remain unmoved by a woman's advances; heaven knows how hard he's trying to restrain himself right now.

Bai Qingzhi kept her head down like an ostrich the whole time. She had heard people say beforehand that it was not good to endure such things too much.

Swallowing hard, Bai Qingzhi spoke in a muffled voice:

"Shall we...shall we go to the restroom?"

Xiao Yuan was a little taken aback and hugged her even tighter.

"I'll take a moment, I'll be fine in a bit."

Bai Qingzhi mustered her courage again, and this time her voice was louder.

"I...I can help you."

Xiao Yuan felt a sudden, explosive sensation in his head, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

The result of the night was that Bai Qingzhi's wrist was successfully swollen.

Unlike Xiao Yuan's high spirits, Xiao Yangjing was sitting in the car, conflicted.

He remembered his older brother's words, but to be honest, it really took a lot of courage to put them into practice.

"Never mind, it's all for my wife, kids, and a warm bed!" With that, he picked up a bottle of liquor from the passenger seat and gulped it down.

Then I got off the bus and walked towards the group of people gathered in the distance.

It was obvious that a group of thugs were harassing a girl.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yangjing shouted, successfully attracting the attention of the group of thugs.

The thugs had also been drinking, quite a lot of it. When they heard that someone dared to play the hero and ruin their plans, they all turned to look at him with unfriendly expressions.

"What are you looking at? Believe me or not, I can take on ten of you by myself!" Xiao Yangjing shouted this with great vigor, and then made an international greeting gesture.

Immediately afterward, the group of thugs were angered, and Xiao Yangjing ended up being ganged up on and beaten.

Yes, this is the terrible idea Xiao Yuan gave him.

A self-inflicted injury ruse.

The car accident plot is too cliché and doesn't control the danger. What if he actually suffers a fracture or becomes paralyzed? So the best thing to do is to find someone to beat him up.

The Xiao family does have thugs, but Xiao Yangjing's status is what it is, so the thugs probably wouldn't dare to really kill him.

But these thugs outside are different; they won't kill him, and the effect of their beatings is incredibly realistic.

When Lin Nuannuan received a call from the police asking her to come and pick up the person, she was stunned and could hardly believe her ears.

Xiao Yangjing actually got into a fight with someone, and what's more, he was the one who got beaten up!

Putting aside Xiao Yangjing's family background, no one dared to hit him. Just look at his domineering, reckless fighting style; there really aren't many who can beat him.

But when Lin Nuannuan saw the other party, she understood: one against ten, then there would be no problem.

While he was being beaten, Xiao Yangjing kept protecting his face the whole time, because he didn't want Nuannuan to see a pig's head as soon as she came in.

Even so, his mouth was bruised, and his body was covered in bruises from being kicked and beaten.

Lin Nuannuan didn't speak when she saw Xiao Yangjing, and Xiao Yangjing keenly sensed that Nuannuan was angry.
