In the early morning, Sophia slowly woke up, reached out and gently placed her hand on the bare chest of the man beside her, and kissed his lips.
Bai Ruogu smiled and lowered his head to return her kiss.
The night of pleasure left them both somewhat exhausted.
"Is James still not awake?"
“He won’t wake up at this time.” Sophia smiled sweetly, her fingers tracing a few restless lines on his chest. “Or, we…”
"No." Bai Ruogu took her hand and kissed it.
He was genuinely tired and didn't understand where a woman got so much energy, constantly nagging him every night.
She was nothing like Song Wan. Song Wan was always quiet and reserved, only revealing her innocent smile when he saw her...
Bai Ruogu was suddenly startled. Why would he think of Song Wan at this moment?
He shook his head, feeling like he was going crazy.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Bai Ruogu forced a smile.
“By the way, I wanted to discuss something with you.” Sophia turned his face towards her. “James is growing up, and I feel that… always having a tutor at home isn’t a long-term solution. He should go to school and interact with his peers. After all, he’ll be the one to inherit the Bai family business in the future, right?”
"Hmm..." Bai Ruogu seemed thoughtful, then looked at her with some difficulty, "The future is hard to say... Haven't my parents already handed over the family business to Zhijin?"
Sophia smiled, feeling smug.
How could that little brat Bai Zhijin possibly compete with her? She would have had her knocked out long ago and thrown in front of Master Qiao's casino!
If Fifth Master Qiao takes it back, everyone will accuse him and Lin Zhaojiang of kidnapping the Bai family's daughter.
If this Fifth Master Qiao is also a lecherous man, that would be even better... Take the opportunity to ruin this girl and make sure she can never recover!
And she could play the good guy in the middle. In front of Bai Ruogu, she was the one who pleaded with Master Qiao to save her sister. Wouldn't Bai Ruogu be at her beck and call from now on?
However, she didn't let Bai Ruogu know that she had obtained all the documents on Bai Zhijin's person, since she hadn't gotten her hands on the official seal yet...
Sophia chuckled softly and said, "Your sister only likes to draw. With her easygoing personality, how could she possibly inherit the Bai family? The Bai family will definitely be yours in the future. As long as it's yours, I believe you won't mistreat my son and me."
"Of course!" Bai Ruogu looked at her affectionately. "I've long regarded James as my own son, and I will definitely raise him well in the future! As long as he lives up to expectations, he will be the next heir of the Bai family!"
"Mmm!" Sophia kissed him on the cheek and laughed heartily. "Ruogu, your parents handed over all their assets to your sister because they weren't satisfied with me! But we now have two mines. Once the prices go up, we'll make a killing, and they'll never look down on me again!"
Bai Ruogu was deeply moved by what she said, as if all the beauty was right before her eyes.
When their eyes met, sparks flew between them.
Bai Ruogu sensed her desire, and although he was somewhat reluctant, he still forced himself to press her down beneath him... Hearing her soft moans, he felt a sense of exhilaration.
Just as the two were about to take things further, Bai Ruogu's phone suddenly rang.
Sophia reluctantly let go of him. He got up to answer the phone, and soon his face turned ashen.
"What did you say?...The prices of those two mines have fallen?"
Sophia sensed something was wrong, so she hurriedly threw on some clothes, jumped out of bed, and turned on her computer.
The incoming data was a complete mess.
The two stared wide-eyed in horror, as if a bolt from the blue had struck, leaving their minds blank.
"What... what's going on?" Bai Ruogu looked at her.
Sophia didn't understand either, and in her panic, she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"We bought those two mines for 5 billion! 5 billion!" Bai Ruogu roared. "Wasn't it said that the price would definitely rise? How come it's dropped to 1.6 billion now?!"
"I...I don't know either..." Sophia's face turned pale. "How is this possible! I've already inquired about the price of minerals. These two mines are in Yun City, and right now, mineral prices in Yun City are rising. These two mines are clearly a sure thing!"
"But look at us now!" Bai Ruogu's lips trembled, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Sophia, my 5 billion was a loan from the bank! Now I not only owe the bank billions, but I also owe interest!"
"Ruogu, you...you don't panic!" Sophia quickly reassured him, "This matter was facilitated by Fifth Master Qiao. I'll ask him...and everything will be clear soon enough!"
*
Before the agreed time, Bai Ruogu and Sophia were already waiting in the hotel private room.
In order to get a date with Master Qiao today, Bai Ruogu specially asked the hotel manager to arrange the event and instructed the kitchen to serve the hotel's signature dishes.
But the moment Master Qiao appeared, he clearly felt the chill in the man's eyes. Master Qiao's gaze was like that of a cat toying with mice, and he and Sophia were mice in his hands, completely at his mercy.
"You two are too kind." Master Qiao sat down, glanced at the wine on the table, and smiled slightly. "There's no need to prepare so much for me. I'm too old to drink now. If I drink, I easily forget what's important."
"Fifth Master Qiao, I..."
