Chapter 38 "A Spring Night Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold" refers to the child's father's daughter^^ (Part Three...)

38

That night, the outside world exploded like fireworks.

At the anchor point that triggered the storm, the interior was completely silent.

Ning Ye looked up and saw a pair of eyes filled with thick fog.

Undeniably, after a little makeup, Bian Xun's appearance rivals that of a male celebrity. His eyes, beneath his brow bone, are shimmering with a captivating allure, a desire as vast as the stars, yet he still possesses an innate air of nobility and pride, like an expensive gift whose ribbons have been unwrapped but is still neatly presented. This complex aura creates a striking contrast with the subtle sense of longing he exudes.

It's very captivating.

Physiological seduction.

Ning Ye was instinctively shocked by his appearance for two seconds before she realized what he was saying—he was clearly talking about something very serious and responsible.

It is reasonable, logical, and in line with family affection.

Ning Ye's fingers quietly dug into the wall, trying to use it for leverage to clear her mind.

Bian Xun's downcast gaze was almost touching her lips.

Ning Ye also felt a little nervous. Her thin back pressed against the thick door of the president's office, as if she was isolated from everything else, with only the overwhelming aura of the person in front of her.

Perhaps their topic was too adult, or perhaps Bian Xun's gaze was too aggressive.

As he lowered his head and drew closer, Ning Ye suddenly remembered her first kiss from many years ago.

In the library where they always fought for seats, one for a scholarship and the other for obsessive-compulsive disorder, two people with completely opposite identities and vastly different lifestyles, kissed passionately for the first time among the bookshelves.

Bian Xun is a predator with a strong aggressive nature, yet she is also resilient in her ability to encompass everything.

It seemed as if it could bear all the sinister and wicked desires, and it restrained itself by pursing its lips, but it always made the other party more crazy.

Now, Ning Ye's tolerance is even greater.

Becoming a mother means she can do even more for her child.

Ning Ye swallowed slightly, nodded, her almond-shaped eyes bright and serious, "Starting now is a bit early. The timing of the child's birth cannot be wrong, but we can familiarize ourselves with the process first to avoid any discord later."

Bian Xun's Adam's apple bobbed, his dark eyes deep. "How does it feel familiar?"

Isn't there a folk saying that babies born when their parents are in a happy state are healthier?

Although there is no scientific basis for it, it's better to believe it's true than not.

Although the two had grown closer because of the child, they had been estranged for six years and their feelings for each other were not as strong as before. They were just familiar strangers who had no idea about each other's physical compatibility.

Oh right, they should also study one [unclear] person.

When Ning Ye was researching information about preparing for pregnancy, she had seen some popular science articles on this topic, which mentioned that some positions are more suitable for conception.

Although for Bian Xun, each encounter was a whirlwind of activity, with postures entirely at his whim, in Ning Ye's distant memories, even though his time and place were fixed each week, his postures were completely unpredictable, sometimes even pushing her to the limits of human endurance—

But for the sake of the children, we definitely can't be so casual!

This constraint is nothing, considering how proactive Bian Xun is.

Ning Ye believes that the two of them have a good consensus on this point.

That's great. Both of them are responsible adults who are willing to make sacrifices for their child, which greatly reduces Ning Ye's anxiety.

Fortunately, Bian Xun is also a good father.

She kept thinking about it, becoming more and more serious. Her breath carried the faint fragrance of jasmine. She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath, wanting to seal it in.

A thousand words are not as good as a kiss.

Since she also wanted to have a child with him.

I can't stand it.

The distance between them was brought to an extremely dangerous level; his nose was almost touching her cheek. The faint scents of sandalwood and jasmine intertwined, seemingly connected yet not touching, as if they had already been linked and intertwined hundreds of times.

Ning Ye blinked and came back to her senses.

When studying sexual positions, you don't actually need to kiss, do you?

Kissing would be too much like lovers, or does Bianxun need to stimulate his senses through kissing?

She can accept that.

So Ning Ye didn't dodge; she had a lot of courage in her heart and obediently met him.

Ning Ye never hesitates when it comes to things she decides to do.

Bian Xun's Adam's apple bobbed again. He'd really kissed her today; it wasn't just a fleeting touch. He'd be lucky if he didn't devour her whole.

The man's dark glint was almost impossible to conceal; his thin lips were about to touch hers—

The sound of a child calling for their mother came like a divine intervention.

The sound was amplified several times through the heavy door, but the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, which Ning Ye immediately noticed.

"Mommy~ I can't reach the sink!"

Without a second's hesitation, Ning Ye immediately replied, "I'm coming right away!"

The tender moment of kissing was abruptly interrupted by the child.

Bian Xun took a step back, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. "..."

I want to blame someone, but I can't blame anyone.

The only thing to blame is that the sink outside his office isn't tall enough for a child.

The CEO, who had been a child-hating man for nearly 30 years, is now reaping the consequences.

I didn't get to enjoy the benefits.

Bian Xun closed his eyes briefly; his breath still carried the faint scent of jasmine, yet it felt slightly hot.

When Ning Ye led the fragrant little one back to the office, the president was already sitting behind his desk as if nothing had happened, his abstinent and rational demeanor completely gone in front of the child.

Ning Ye also knew that this was not a suitable place to discuss things. There was a strange sense of taboo in her boss's office, which made her blush.

Moreover, although the cycle is in the next few days, we still need to check the information revealed in the album to find out the exact date.

Bian Xun glanced at her several times with a dark look in his eyes, inexplicably carrying a tacit understanding.

It's like a metaphor for adults.

Ning Ye: "?" They tacitly agreed to have a child.

Ning Ye nodded seriously and said, "Mhm."

Give the child's father a positive response.

The president's lips curled up and then straightened, and it took him a lot of effort to tear away his wandering thoughts and force himself to regain his cold and restrained demeanor.

She simply nodded.

It's so awesome.

...

After tidying up the money-making documents on the table, the two drove away from the company with their child.

When I went to a restaurant near the company, many people on the street were looking at their phones, and even the restaurant customers were discussing the big news that had gone viral that night.

"Holy crap, Xu Lanyi actually has a son?!"

"Was it because the photos were leaked and could no longer be hidden, so they were forced to make them public?"

"No wonder her new movie is about motherhood; it turns out it was a test of her fans' obedience."

"Her fans have lost their temper, and now the super topic is flooded with long posts."

Some ordinary netizens who have been following Xu Lanyi for a long time have expressed doubts.

"Actually, it's not a big deal for actresses to have their own marriage and childbearing plans at this age."

"But the problem is you have to look at her persona. How much have she benefited from her 'clear-headed queen' rhetoric over the years? She's always been riding the wave of gender antagonism, but now she's already head over heels in love?"

"Exactly, otherwise why would she deny it?"

"It's obvious that they didn't intend to make it public."

The image of a career-driven female protagonist has backfired, with Xu Lanyi's secret pregnancy and childbirth becoming the biggest gossip of the year, sparking heated discussions among netizens.

After trending on social media, the hashtag #Unfollowing# surged to the top, and the perfect reputation of the two-time Golden Horse Award-winning actress began to crumble. All the marketing accounts followed suit and created chaos, turning the entire Shanxi province into a complete mess.

At this point, no one can trace back to where this massive upheaval began.

Bian Xun looked up and glanced at Ning Ye in the rearview mirror.

She sat next to the child's high chair, her eyes lowered as she calmly looked at her phone screen. Everything was as she had expected. There was no smugness on her pretty face, nor was she inclined to gloat. More than seeing the other child crumble, she was concerned about what the little one wanted to eat that evening.

He had certainly seen the photos in the album, but before he even realized he needed to play this card openly, Ning Ye had already made the most of it in the shortest amount of time, with effects far exceeding expectations.

Bian Xun withdrew his gaze, the appreciation in his eyes turning into a smile.

The child's mother charged into battle, and all that was left for him to do was follow.

…

Xu Lanyi herself experienced a hellish day.

The public announcement of her son completely reversed the situation, but the loss of fans, the gossip from the public, and even the ridicule from her peers were not the most fatal blows.

The most fatal blow was that, led by Wujiang Group, various brands began to dump oil and join the wave of contract terminations.

Even if her actions had a negative impact, they ultimately didn't cross any red lines and wouldn't lead to her being officially rejected like those blacklisted celebrities. As long as her commercial value remains, her endorsement contracts won't drop so quickly.

But it seemed as if an invisible hand was pushing things along in the capital market. Overnight, five consecutive endorsement partners said that her public relations troubles were affecting their brand image and that her current personal reputation did not fit the brand's tone, and began to terminate their contracts with her.

This is not just a matter of paying damages for breach of contract; more importantly, it represents a major reshuffling of her personal commercial value.

Once an endorsement is lost, competitors will swarm to take it away like locusts; and with her personal reputation plummeting, it will be almost impossible for her to get another luxury endorsement.

How could things have turned out like this?!

In the foreseeable plot, this day was clearly her most beautiful comeback, and the shadows of the past five years were completely washed away. Although the whole internet was surprised, they eventually understood and offered their blessings. Countless people envied her and Bian Xun, saying that they were a perfect match.

But now—

"The Gu family owns a pharmaceutical company in Beijing, which is quite good, and that young master Gu is quite handsome."

"But I heard that the Gu family has many children, and that young master Gu has no right to inherit the family business. He also has several older brothers. He has only gotten the position of manager at Fengyu. If Xu Lanyi marries him, it's like she's marrying down."

"Hilarious! Xu's fans are backfiring, aren't they? They used to mock this big star for her unhappy marriage and that little star for being love-struck and getting domestic violence. But what happened? I thought her older sister was living a very comfortable life."

"She even had a child for a man who wasn't even top-tier."

No, that's not it!

Xu Lanyi grabbed her hair, her carefully maintained wavy hair was pulled into a mess, and her expression was almost distorted as she faced the overwhelming condemnation online.

"Mom, Mom?" the boy's timid voice rang out, looking at his mother with fear.

Gu Zixun clung to the door frame, too afraid to come in.

Xu Lanyi raised her eyes, red with disappointment, and for a moment, love and hate intertwined. If it weren't for this child, if it weren't for him...

Children are sensitive to adults' emotions, and for a moment, Gu Zixun was even a little afraid of his mother.

Xu Lanyi abruptly closed her eyes. "Wang Ma, take the young master away."

"Yes, yes."

Gu Zixun was taken away. Xu Lanyi rubbed her temples and urged her assistant in a shrill voice, "Is it so hard to find out where the photos came from, and which marketing accounts originally posted them?!"

This time, someone was definitely plotting against her. This person had a firm grasp on her situation and timed it perfectly to her advantage. Xu Lanyi racked her brains but still couldn't figure out who she was dealing with.

When people face defeat, they often imagine their opponent to be incredibly superior, as if this provides some psychological comfort and justifies their loss. To put her in such a sorry state in this battle, did the other side have an entire team? Was it a meticulously planned scheme to dismantle her endorsement deal?!

After tracing the source extensively, the studio finally managed to extract some information from the marketing account and traced the clues to find the other party's IP address.

"Tell me! Who is it, and where is it?" Xu Lanyi asked almost viciously. As long as she knew the IP address and investigated her rivals, she could find out who was targeting her.

The assistant hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's in Beijing..."

Xu Lanyi was at her wit's end and immediately began to think about her rivals in Beijing. As long as she found an opponent and dragged them into the fray, the focus of the incident would shift to the fan wars.

"The other party is not using a private IP address, but... the corporate IP address of Wujiang Group."

Xu Lanyi's expression froze for a moment, and in a flash, the words she had spoken to that woman in a corner of the Wujiang Building during the day flashed before her eyes.

It's her, it's her?!

She was just an ordinary person, and yet she ruined her life?!

Xu Lanyi's last line of psychological defense completely collapsed, and a scream of despair came from the tightly closed door.

"It's all for the children."

These words have now become her nightmare.

…

Naturally, the Bian family ultimately did not take the land from the Xu family.

Although Old Master Bian has retired from the front lines, he is still very shrewd. He can no longer join forces with the Xu family. After all, Bian Xun only has a biological daughter outside the home, while Old Xu's granddaughter deceived netizens across the country. Can those be considered the same thing?

Even if the two families are old friends, they still each mind their own business.

Moreover, regardless of the child's biological mother, Bian Xun's biological daughter is still a child of the Bian family.

After thinking about it for several days, Grandpa Bian finally came up with a reason to have Bian Xun bring his great-granddaughter to improve his image as a great-grandfather and get him recognized as a member of the family as soon as possible!

While searching for home.

"Mr. Bian, this is Mr. Bian Yang's engagement banquet invitation."

It's the weekend, and Assistant Zhang just received the invitation. He was a little worried when he handed it over.

The engagement banquet is scheduled for noon, and the invitations are only being sent out now. It's probably the work of the old man from the Bian family. He plans to call Mr. Bian back directly, and if he doesn't attend, someone will come to invite him immediately.

Bian Xun lowered his eyes and casually tapped the gold-embossed paper with his fingertips.

The address was a luxury hotel in the city center, and the invitation listed three names: Bian Xun, Ning Ye, and Ning Zhitao.

The invitation was written by Bian Yang's side, but for such an invitation to reach him, it must have been authorized by the old man.

This was a subtle signal to him, indicating that he should bring Ning Zhitao to a family banquet-like ceremony attended by members of the Bian family, a hint that he was acknowledging the child.

Bian Xun casually tossed the invitation aside.

Can the old man just admit it whenever he wants?

He knew his family well and naturally believed that Ning Zhitao was an absolute weaker party in front of those old monsters, so he did not intend to participate.

The little girl was very unhappy at the Bian family ancestral hall last time, and Ning Ye was also unhappy. Those aunts and uncles treated the mother and daughter badly. Was he bored and wanted to take them to be bullied?

People's livelihood issues are the most important thing now. Bian Xun looked indifferent.

However, just as Assistant Zhang took back the invitation, a little dumpling ran out of the bedroom, babbling over, "Daddy, are we going to the XX Hotel? I love that giant rotating cake the most!"

Her dad bought her a cake for her third birthday. For a long time, they could only make one cake to order. It was super beautiful!

Ning Ye also came out of the room behind her, met Zhang's assistant's gaze, and greeted him with a polite smile.

Assistant Zhang smiled back at him, but his heart was in turmoil.

They've already moved in together so naturally! No wonder the CEO's been so excited lately!

Ning Ye took her child to play nearby this morning, and was then forcibly summoned by the child's father. She thought it was a good thing, as now was an important time to break down the barriers between her and Bian Xun.

Bian Xun lowered his eyes and explained to the child, "We're not going today. There's someone you disliked last time there."

Ning Zhitao was disappointed, but then cutely raised her head and asked, "Do those annoying people have a giant rotating cake?"

Bian Xun raised an eyebrow, not lying to the child, "Yes."

Ning Zhitao immediately clenched her fist with excitement, "Then let's go fight their cake, Dad!"

Bian Xun looked up, and Ning Ye shook her head and smiled, "Let the child eat if he wants to."

Going there won't do anything wrong.

Besides—Ning Ye touched her chin, she felt that her little one might be the true hidden overlord of the Bian family.

...

noon.

The Maybach stopped outside the hotel's European-style banquet hall.

The family of three came empty-handed, specifically to bring their child to hunt for cakes.

As soon as Bian Xun's figure appeared in the distance, Bian Yang, who was standing at the door greeting guests, became excited—this was such a great honor for him, his brother actually came to his engagement banquet in person!

Actually, he didn't have high hopes when he sent out the invitations, because his brother always hated these kinds of events. Bian Yang certainly didn't care whether he brought a gift or not; just his attendance was already a huge support!

Because Bian Yang's fiancée was not really approved of by the Bian family, Old Master Bian only reluctantly agreed to the engagement, but the rest of the family was not quite in favor.

The three of them walked to the front of the banquet hall and saw Bian Yang looking excited, with a young woman who looked somewhat familiar standing next to him.

Just as the group was about to exchange pleasantries, Ning Zhitao tilted her head back and greeted them in a generous manner.

"Hello, Uncle."

The four-year-old girl pronounced her name accurately in a sweet, childlike voice, looking incredibly bright.

Bian Yang was surprised, finding it adorable, but he couldn't help thinking that with his brother's support, the child and her mother were determined to enter the Bian family. He wished he could be as assertive as his brother...

Just then, the little girl turned to the girl next to him and spoke.

"Auntie is nice too."

Bian Yang and his fiancée were both stunned.

This child is only four years old, but she can not only accurately distinguish the complicated generational relationships, which is amazingly intelligent, but more importantly, she immediately gave the two of them tremendous support and blessings!

Bian Yang and his fiancée were captivated by Ning Zhitao in just 0 seconds.

"What an adorable baby! Thank you!"

The fiancée looked at Ning Ye gratefully. The child looked so much like her, and she instinctively felt that it was all thanks to her mother's teaching.

"I'm Le Shiqing, hello!" the other person introduced himself to her.

"Hello, I'm Ning Ye."

When Ning Ye led the child into the banquet hall, she felt that the name sounded quite familiar.

But before they could think any further, the lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly quieted down as countless Bian family members cast scrutinizing glances at the family of three.

Old Master Bian sat upright in the main seat in the distance, looking solemn and dignified. In fact, the butler had already rushed over and whispered in his ear about the reception at the door. The old man slapped his thigh under the table as he listened.

How clever! This child is so smart!

They're so young, yet they can already distinguish between generations.

Sitting next to her was Bian Yang's mother, who was in the worst mood today. Although her son could not compare to Bian Xun's level, he was still a proper young master of the Bian family. How could he have found such a daughter-in-law?

She overheard the housekeeper's retelling and her tone was somewhat sarcastic. "Maybe the child's mother taught him this before she left. With so many people in the house, does that child really know how to distinguish between generations?"

I saw her once at the ancestral hall, and I still vividly remember the little girl's behavior. Even if I know now that she really is Bian Xun's biological daughter, so what?

However, no sooner had the words left his mouth than a child's voice rang out again.

"Greetings, Second Uncle."

"Hello, Second Aunt."

Hello, Uncle.

"Hello, Third Grandma."

One call after another, even the person being called had to first consider their generational relationship with Bian Xun before judging their relationship with this little kid.

However, this four-year-old, who was as small as a little milk cake, didn't make a single mistake!

With each call, Grandpa Bian's complexion became a little rosier.

Every time a name was called correctly, Grandpa Bian's heart would race with excitement.

What a smart and filial child!

It's as if he wasn't the one who complained about the child's rudeness last time.

Grandpa Bian looked at the family of three as they walked over, his face glowing with health. Although he maintained the demeanor of a patriarch, his ears were practically perked up.

He was just waiting for the child to call him so he could take the child back to the Bian family!

They could even correctly address the uncles, aunts, and grandmothers of other collateral branches and families, considering them their closest relatives and direct descendants.

The child should call him—

Hello, grandpa.

Ning Zhitao rubbed her head, her round face chubby, looking very spirited.

She still remembers! Grandpa said that if Dad isn't her dad, then he's not her grandpa!

Grandpa Bian's anticipation suddenly froze, his ruddy face turning pale and he choked on his breath.

The child's mother and father reacted simultaneously.

Ning Ye managed to hold back her laughter, finding Tao Tao's vengeful nature just too adorable!

Who said that just because this family wants to acknowledge her, she has to be acknowledged?

The baby has his own pride.

Bian Xun simply scoffed without any mercy, then took the child and Ning Ye and went to find the rotating cake.

...

Despite the blow to Grandpa Bian, the engagement banquet finally began.

Bian Yang and Le Shiqing stood together, serving tea to their parents in turn. Ning Ye could tell that the Bian family was not very satisfied with Le Shiqing.

She soon learned the reason—

"They look down on me because I'm in the entertainment industry."

After the ceremony and banquet, Le Shiqing secretly went to Ning Ye's place. Among all the people in the room, she felt that Ning Ye was the easiest to get along with.

Perhaps it's because she and her baby look so alike that both of them appear incredibly approachable—much more so than the current head of the Bian family standing next to her.

Before coming, Le Shiqing was very curious about Ning Ye because she had heard about Bian Xun and knew that Ning Ye was even more ostracized by the Bian family than she was.

Le Shiqing's family wasn't exactly ordinary; her father was a high-ranking official in another province, which was why the Bian family could barely accept her. However, her background wasn't on par with established Beijing families like the Bian or Xu families, and coupled with her profession, she was stuck in the middle. She really disliked this kind of family.

Ning Ye finally understood why she looked familiar.

Yue Shiqing is an actress, and her rival is—

"I hate Xu Lanyi the most! Luckily, her marriage to the Bian family fell through, otherwise I wouldn't want to marry her. She's really hypocritical and despicable, you know?"

Ning Ye pursed her lips, finally understanding.

While researching Xu Lanyi's situation, she witnessed the fan war between the two fan groups, but since she doesn't follow celebrities, she didn't pay much attention to it. After the photos were released, Xu Lanyi's endorsements were terminated, and many fans went to buy her merchandise.

"Now, hahaha—" Le Shiqing said to Ning Ye with a gloating expression, speaking in a tone that suggested they were insiders.

"You don't know who framed her, do you?"

Ning Ye: "".

Ning Ye, mimicking Bian Xun's enigmatic tone, nodded, "I don't know."

"I don't know which expert set her up this time. Our team analyzed it for a whole day. I actually tend to think that the photo that was leaked is fake, but we can't find any signs of it being photoshopped. So there's something fishy going on here. The other party may have deliberately tricked her into denying the photo, but they also know that the child thing is real, putting her in a deadly predicament..."

Le Shiqing excitedly analyzed a lot of things, and finally concluded, "In short, this person's technique is very clever. He knocked Xu Lanyi down in one move. It was so satisfying!"

Ning Ye blushed slightly, raised her hand and coughed lightly, concealing her merit and fame.

Le Shiqing didn't know why, but she really liked Ning Ye.

Of course, Ning Ye couldn't tell her that this was probably because the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

The two chatted about their situations, and Yue Shiqing's eyes widened in surprise, her tone suddenly becoming admiring, "You're from Jinghua University?!"

Ning Ye nodded; this shouldn't be a big deal for the Bian family.

Among wealthy and powerful families, sufficient wealth and social status can send their scions to prestigious universities worldwide. Only one person, like Bian Xun, voluntarily took the national college entrance examination and was admitted to a top-tier university. Therefore, academic qualifications have become somewhat less valuable within wealthy families, given that everyone's resume sounds impressive.

However, for those in the entertainment industry who have escaped the nine-year compulsory education system, Jinghua University is practically a god-like institution, and Yue Shiqing has a natural admiration for higher education.

Le Shiqing was a poor student, and after graduating from high school, she secretly ran away to pursue her dream of entering the entertainment industry. Her family had no choice but to spend money to support her. Meanwhile, many of her fellow celebrities were illiterate, and having a proper undergraduate degree from an arts college was enough to create the persona of a top student in the entertainment industry.

Jinghua's top student is also good-looking enough to enter the entertainment industry! Le Shiqing suddenly started to feel indignant on Ning Ye's behalf. What exactly is it about the Bian family that makes them so superior?

The reason why that child is so smart is probably because of his academically gifted mother!

Ning Ye chuckled and patted her lightly.

The same resentment might have existed six years ago, but it no longer matters now.

Le Shiqing looked at her and suddenly felt that Ning Ye had a kind of "mommy" vibe that was currently very popular—a gentle, soothing, and understated beauty, yet also possessing her own excellence and pride.

If you put it outside, it'll be chased like crazy.

By the way, Bian Xun had already brought Tao Tao, who had eaten her fill of the big cake, and came to find them.

Bian Yang walked over to his brother and put his arm around Le Shiqing.

"You're having such a pleasant chat with your sister-in-law, honey?"

Le Shiqing nodded excitedly.

With just one sentence, Bian Xun raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze subtly falling on Ning Ye.

Calling her "sister-in-law" is quite sensible.

Ning Ye seemed to accept it well.

Should he call her that too...?

Ning Ye was stopped by Le Shiqing, "You absolutely have to come to our wedding! Bring Tao Tao baby with you~"

Ning Zhitao, standing next to her, nodded her round head and said, "Okay."

Bian Yang looked happy.

Bian Xun: Ha.

Some are about to get married, and some are about to have a child.

He was three moves ahead in the game.

Bian Xun led the mother and daughter away, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Ning Ye's calm and leisurely lips, and he gently stroked them with his fingertips.

However, after...

When is she getting married?

Do you have any plans in this regard?

…

Ning Ye made no comment on this.

And they didn't intend to make any statement.

Ning Ye offered her blessings to others' marriages, but felt no emotion herself. For her current situation, she already had a child, but marriage was not a necessity.

Preparations to welcome the children are proceeding smoothly.

Bian Xun was getting a little anxious while waiting.

Of course, the president didn't show it on his face, but he caught her in the business unit's break room.

Their eyes met, and Ning Ye understood each other without saying a word.

Seeing that no one was outside, she suddenly tiptoed closer.

A delicate fragrance wafted over her along with the steam from her hair and the cup. Bian Xun naturally raised his hand to her waist, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and his mind went blank, instantly igniting a fire.

What for? It needs to be here.

It goes too far in violation of public order and good morals, and it's also too provocative.

Thinking this, he involuntarily lowered his head, drawing her close in front of him.

Ning Ye's voice was soft, her lips almost touching his ear, her breath falling on the man's jawline, causing a tingling sensation.

When he took the initiative to appear, she couldn't hold back either.

Bian Xun's throat tightened slightly as he forced his reason back, "I can't scream here..."

The word "sound" hadn't even finished.

Then he heard Ning Ye whisper to him, "Last time I sold photos from marketing accounts, a few of them wanted to pay me the balance. Do you need them?"

If needed, she would transfer the money to Bian Xun's black card; after all, having a baby soon would cost a lot of money. Besides, wasn't Bian Xun always the one who cared most about her earning power?

Bian Xun: "..."

Bian Xun: "No!"

The CEO almost got an erection just now.

Ning Ye: "Oh."

...

Outside the president's office, Bian Xun strode through the assistants' area, pushed open the door, and stepped inside, a gust of wind that was sometimes cold and sometimes hot swept through.

Assistant Zhang secretly put down the dumbbells, reverted to elite mode, and followed him inside.

He's been secretly working out lately because he heard there's a boxing match between the fathers of kindergarten kids, and he doesn't want to lose face in front of his daughter.

Moreover, due to the aftermath of the Xu Lanyi incident, the media paid special attention to Gu Feng. He brought Gu Zixun to participate in the sports meet to compete with President Bian. The attention given to a small kindergarten sports meet was comparable to that of a major sporting event.

Assistant Zhang walked quietly toward the president's desk.

When Bian Zong went out just now, he seemed very ambitious, but why did he suddenly come back with a bit of anger?

I don't know what kind of anger it is.

However, as he pondered this and walked to the desk, he suddenly saw that the president's mood had improved, and he was opening a drawer and putting something in, which was vaguely a small box.

Bian Xun lowered her eyes; the things she had just bought had randomly ended up in her possession.

A few clear words on the box gave the president a glimmer of hope.

Hyaluronic Acid Cooling Lubricant

(Strawberry flavor) - Add some joy to the occasion

The CEO pressed down on his lips, leaned back in his chair, tilted his head slightly, and displayed unparalleled composure and nobility in his body language. He calmly pulled up the bank card statement in his hand, wanting to see when she had made the purchase.

Assistant Zhang happened to see an expenditure of over 800,000 yuan and was immediately shocked.

"Mr. Bian, that mysterious person who stole money from your bank card has reappeared?!" Assistant Zhang immediately became alert, pulling out his phone. "I'll call the police right now. We must catch him this time!"

Weren't they already caught?

Bian Xun lifted his eyelids. "Who told you to arrest her?"

It's only a few hundred thousand.

This item is buy one get one free.

...You can apply more.

A hint of flirtatious light flickered in Bian Xun's eyes as he glanced at Assistant Zhang. "Do you know what's worth a fortune?"

Assistant Zhang hesitated before putting his phone away. "I don't know, Mr. Bian."

The CEO's cold voice carried a hint of smugness, "You don't need to know."

Assistant Zhang: "??" Then why are you asking me?

I can't figure it out. Lately, I can't figure out what my boss is thinking at all.

But the boss seemed to be in a very good mood.

He was so happy he didn't even look like himself.

Bian Xun: A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Another bank card bill popped up on my phone.

With a feeling of despair, he clicked on it.

12 million.

Bian Xun: "?"

A moment of blissful intimacy is indeed worth a fortune.

An objectively wealthy heiress.

“.

Bian Xunshuang's exhilarating feeling finally subsided. After a moment of rationality, he made a call to Ning Ye with a blank expression.

Did you buy anything just now?

Ning Ye covered her phone. "Yes, how did you know? I just booked a hotel room."

Bian Xun took a deep breath. The hotel cost over a thousand yuan wasn't great, but it was acceptable.

Ning Ye: "I booked three nights! Just in case."

Bian Xun: "?"

Three nights, 1200 yuan.

In other words, he spent 12 million on a run-down chain hotel with an average price of 300-400 yuan.

Bian Xun took another deep breath.

On the other end of the phone, Ning Yerou's clear and melodious voice rang out again, asking him with a slightly embarrassed tone.

Are you coming or not?

Bian Xun slowly closed his eyes, his chest heaving, and he gritted his teeth.

"Come."

Author's Note: It's here! Look! My word count! A random rain of red envelopes is falling!

*cough cough* Tomorrow will probably be very important to President Bian. ^^ I'll try to see him early tomorrow.
