Bai Lu saw the intense, undisguised possessiveness in the child's eyes and immediately understood.
This guy still cares.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Xiao Cheng didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, and didn't show any intention or action to accompany her to another province. Life went on as usual.
Bai Lu thought the matter was over.
I didn't expect him to hide again.
It was well hidden.
Fortunately, the child revealed the information.
Bai Lu stared intently at the face of the powerful figure before her, while Xiao Xiao, who was in a childlike state, raised her hand and brushed away the stray hairs on his forehead that had been dried by the wind.
"Good girl, have all the factory permits and licenses been taken care of?"
Xiao's unhappiness was soothed by a pat on the head and a "good boy": "It's done."
"Wang Hao has also been taught how to use the electric chestnut roasting machine. The brothers have already been assigned to it, and Wang Hao can handle the rest himself."
Their efficiency is beyond words; it can only be described as lightning fast.
While Bai Lu was amazed, she thought of the favors Xiao Cheng had done for her when he collected debts, and she understood.
"So, you're having dinner with people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau tonight?"
Xiao Xiao nodded honestly: "I only drank five cups of baijiu (Chinese liquor)."
Bai Lu noticed that Xiao Cheng's alcohol tolerance seemed to have declined, and the frequency of drunk children appearing in his life was increasing.
However, the arrival of the child did not affect his judgment of the outside world or his way of handling things.
He was only truly honest with her, saying whatever came to mind, and they talked about everything, which greatly increased his trust in her.
He remains as taciturn as ever with outsiders, saying only what needs to be said and remaining silent about what shouldn't be said.
You won't be fooled and suffer losses.
That's alright. What Bailu is worried about is that one day he'll drink too much and get sold out while still helping the seller count the money.
After all, it's really hard to put your mind at ease with such a small mind that can be so easily appeased.
"How long are you going to be in Guangdong Province?" Bai Lu asked the child.
There are still little flowers of our motherland at home. Even though Grandpa Hu is here, my brother can't be away from home for too long.
The little flower will wither if it doesn't see its brother for too long.
Xiao Xiaohai, however, reiterated his previous statement: "Uncertain."
Bai Lu felt certain: "A-Dai and the others have three months of study time. After you get the information, go to the machinery factory to investigate and confirm the purchase process, it shouldn't take long, right?"
Xiao Xiaohai didn't deny it, but added righteously, "We need to follow up on the matter of connecting the fruit with the manufacturers."
"Three months is enough time for you to hand over this work to Awen, take him to connect with the manufacturer's manager, and put him in full charge of this matter, right?"
If Luo Shiliu, a complete novice, could pick it up so quickly, Bai Lu didn't believe that Awen, an expert, couldn't do it.
Xiao Cheng would send Awen and Lu Lu, which means he must know and trust Awen's ability to handle things.
Just as Bai Lu had predicted, Xiao Xiao did not deny it, but said, "The sales market in Guangdong Province needs to be investigated."
"Three months isn't enough?" Bai Lu suspected he was stalling for time.
But contrary to his usual self, he said, "That's enough."
After saying that, he looked at her angrily, his eyes filled with a deep resentment that seemed to engulf and annihilate her.
"It's fine for Lulu to go to university with other people, but it's not okay for me to go to school with Lulu! It's not even okay for me to work and be with Lulu at the same time. She even thinks three months is too long and doesn't want me to stay for more than a day. What does Lulu want to do!"
The last sentence was tinged with disappointment and gritted teeth.
It's as if Bai Lu is a heartless woman who abandoned her husband and wealth.
Bai Lu was so angry she laughed. She watched the child clench and unclench his fists, then clench them again.
"Are you trying to hit me?"
Xiao Xiao stared at Bai Lu in disbelief, as if she had said something outrageous.
However, after glaring for half a second, he looked away, snorted coldly, and got up to leave.
The next second, Bai Lu grabbed his wrist.
She can't leave even if she wants to, unless you drag her off the bed.
Xiao Xiao angrily turned around and started cracking his knuckles, but his left hand had just reached for his right wrist. Before he could even touch the slender fingers that were holding his wrist, Bai Lu suddenly kissed him...
A kiss left me dazed.
His hands froze, his whole body froze, his angry face froze, and his furious eyes stared blankly.
Completely captivated by the sweet scent surrounding her lips, her anger was instantly swallowed up.
"Are you still having wild thoughts?"
The breath on her lips gradually faded away with the gentle sound of the clear spring.
Her smiling face gradually shrank from large to small and disappeared from sight until her entire fair face reappeared in view. Xiao Xiao turned his face away, refusing to look at her.
"I wasn't thinking anything."
Bai Lu looked at the red spots on his ear tips and his already loosened fist, and chuckled silently: "Yes."
"You're not overthinking things, it's me who's overthinking."
The child clenched his fingers but didn't say anything.
Bai Lu continued, "You are Xiaowei's only family in this world. Xiaowei depends on you so much. He will definitely be sad and heartbroken if he doesn't see you for a long time. He will miss you very much. A phone call is just a phone call. It's completely different from meeting in person. I just hope you can spend more time with him and let him feel the deep family affection from our shared blood..."
“Of course I’m happy that you can come and accompany me to school, but when Ah-Dai and the others finish their studies and return, you will have to come back to open the factory and oversee production. There will be so many things to do then, and you will often travel back and forth between the two places to see me. It will be very tiring and difficult.”
"I hope you can come back after you finish your business there. It's not that I'm trying to get rid of you, I just don't want you to work so hard."
Under the lamplight, the tall, stubborn, and upright figure had turned around at some point and was staring intently at Bailu.
Are you worried about me?
Bai Lu laughed: "Isn't it obvious enough?"
Xiao the child said, "Not enough."
The outside world is vast, wonderful, and full of people; he was afraid she would forget the way home.
I'm afraid she won't come back.
Bai Lu held his hand and said to the unease in his eyes, "I will come back, as soon as I have a holiday."
