Dou Shiliu silently accepted this fact in the end.
It's just a paw pad, what's so scary about it?
Han Xiao had a three-hour meeting. When he came in after the meeting, he saw Dou Shiliu swaying precariously, almost asleep.
He took a step forward and picked her up.
"Take a nap"
A cool voice reached Dou Shiliu's ears, gently dispelling her drowsiness.
"No, let's eat first."
She patted his arm, signaling him to put her down.
Han Xiao silently put her down, went to the rest room to change his clothes, and then took her to eat.
In this upscale restaurant, elegant violin music plays in the background, and the warm-toned decor creates a sophisticated and classy atmosphere.
But this is clearly not Dou Shiliu's dish; it looks incredibly exquisite but the portion is small.
This isn't enough to fill me up.
The man opposite her casually rolled up the sleeves of his simple yet stylish shirt, his long, slender, fair hands carefully slicing a steak for Dou Shiliu with a small knife—a process that was pleasing to the eye. He then handed the steak to her, eating his own with a calm expression.
Not mentioning a word about what happened last night
Dou Shiliu swallowed a mouthful of broccoli, her words muffled, "Dad, what do you think of last night's suggestion?"
Han Xiao paused, his hand poised to cut the steak, his eyes darkening as he recalled her words from that night…
He then continued cutting casually, his expression so calm that Dou Shiliu couldn't discern his true feelings.
Soon, he elegantly wiped his mouth, then raised his eyes to look at Dou Shiliu.
I will arrange for you to study abroad.
The cold, indifferent voice sounded especially irritating to Dou Shiliu.
"I'm not going! Who'll protect you from the disaster if I go?"
However, Han Xiao ignored her and made a phone call, saying, "Arrange plane tickets to England for tomorrow."
Dou Shiliu frowned and, rather unladylike, slammed her hand on the table.
"I said I'm not going!" The voice was extremely impatient.
Han Xiao glanced at her with icy eyes, "You have to go whether you like it or not."
She's become a burden to him now. He only adopted her to pass the time, and now that she's having inappropriate thoughts, he should have nipped them in the bud. He didn't take her seriously at first, but she stirred things up for him yesterday...
Thinking of this, Han Xiao's eyes deepened even further.
No matter how much Dou Shiliu resisted, the next day she was still bound hand and foot and stuffed into a car on the way to the airport.
Dou Shiliu angrily punched the car seat! Damn it, if this weren't a small world where she couldn't use her own strength, she would have killed all these bodyguards with a single punch.
"What should the host do?"
Bai Tuan looked at Dou Shiliu's depressed and angry expression, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
"Of course we should run away!"
The more Dou Shiliu thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed the toy in the back seat and beat it mercilessly.
White Ball: "...cough cough..."
"I forgot to mention, the meeting yesterday that the cannon fodder leader held was about that huge order."
This sentence stopped Dou Shiliu's foolish behavior.
"What? It's probably all off now."
What time is it now?! They had already arranged to meet to discuss the contract.
Frustrated, she ran a hand through her hair. Her husband in this world was nothing like the obedient husband from the last one.
...
Han Xiao coldly looked at the foreign man opposite her and questioned him in fluent English.
"What's the meaning?"
No one knows better than him how much effort the company has put into this project.
Hearing Han Xiao's icy tone, the other party understood, since they were the ones who went back on their word first, and in the end, all they could do was apologize.
"Mr. Han, the other party offered a price that's even more appealing than yours, so you can't blame me for this."
In short, they want to raise the price.
Han Xiao looked at him coldly, "Mr. Hailey, aren't you afraid that taking ill-gotten gains could lead to death?"
The tone was filled with strong disdain
Those around the foreigner were indignant and were about to resort to violence.
"I advise you to continue our deal, or you will bear the consequences."
Seeing Han Xiao's cold gaze, the foreigner also became angry.
He refused outright and prepared to leave with his men.
"It seems Mr. Haley doesn't know what's good for him."
As soon as Han Xiao finished speaking, everyone around Haley Johnson had their legs broken by gunshots.
"impossible…"
Their men had already disarmed each other when they came up; where did he get so many guns now?
Only when the dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at his temple did cold sweat pour down his face, and he trembled as he spoke.
"You can't do this. My family won't let you get away with this."
Haley Johnson tried to threaten Han Xiao, but he was met with a burst of silenced gunfire.
The body fell to the ground. Han Xiao coldly took out his gun, which still smelled of gunpowder, and wiped it clean.
"Young Master Han, all the goods are here."
The men under his command waited respectfully for his response.
"Take it back"
"yes"
...
Dou Shiliu finally managed to slip away from under the bodyguard's nose and rushed to the scene, only to find that he hadn't seen a thing.
"System, am I too late?"
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and some signs of a struggle remained at the scene.
"Yes"
"Why does this feel different from the plot?"
Originally, after Haley Johnson refused to deliver the goods and left with his men, Han Xiao didn't intervene.
Because he knew about Haley Johnson's family background, he was slightly wary.
But what was told to Dou Shiliu at the scene was that he not only attacked, but also cleaned up the mess completely.
"I reckon the main system malfunctioned again and sent the wrong script."
The white ball was pushed away completely once again.
Dou Shiliu ignored it and rushed towards Hanxiao Company.
This time she entered without any obstruction and went straight to the top.
"bite"
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Dou Shiliu stepped out and pushed open the office door.
