Chapter 144 Xiao Yuan is actually afraid of bitterness



“It was Qingzhi who pulled me out of the mire, so even if she’s gone, I will take care of this studio for her. So, Mr. Qi, I’m very sorry.” Jiang Yan finished speaking and bowed deeply.

Hearing this answer, Qi Shang was somewhat surprised.

If he knew correctly, they hadn't spent much time with Bai Qingzhi.

“Miss Bai is indeed a very charming person.” Qi Shang nodded in agreement.

"If Miss Jiang changes her mind, she can come to me at any time." After saying that, Qi Shang left with his men.

Only when his figure was no longer visible did everyone turn around.

Jiang Yan was in a good mood after receiving recognition, and a smile remained on her lips.

"Thank you all for earlier," Jiang Yan said sincerely.

Bai Qingzhi responded with a friendly smile, then indicated that she was telling the truth.

Seeing her charming and innocent appearance, the other three people present were amused.

After laughing for a while, Qiao Shanshan said with some concern:

"What a great opportunity, why did you turn it down?"

Once you join Qishang's company, doubling your salary is secondary; the important thing is that it will enhance your brand awareness and truly take you international.

Although the last competition brought her some fame, it was far from enough.

Qi Shang's company happens to provide a platform, and no matter how you look at it, it's the better place to develop.

"Would you go if you were in my shoes?" Jiang Yan didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Shanshan shook her head without even hesitating.

"Of course not. Not to mention that I don't have such lofty ideals or pursuits, I just can't give up this feeling of freedom!"

After Qiao Shanshan finished speaking, she took a deep sniff in the air.

The four women present exchanged a smile.

Bai Qingzhi's heart was overflowing with emotion; she had never known that her personal charm was so strong.

Construction in Xiao Yuan's City A is still ongoing and is already more than halfway complete, with large shopping malls and residential buildings already up in the vicinity.

It wasn't until this point that most people realized what he was trying to do.

Since relinquishing all his power, Grandpa Xiao has focused on his retirement, especially after Nuannuan's two children were taken back to live with him, and he moved directly into the villa.

The Xiao family also knew about Bai Qingzhi's situation, so no one was surprised that she was now sporting this unfamiliar face.

With Xiao Yangjing currently in charge of the company, Xiao Yuan has given himself a leave of absence.

I had originally planned to travel the world with Zhizhi, but Yu He's situation forced us to put it on hold.

He silently vowed in his heart that he would resolve the issue and proceed according to his plan.

Today happened to be a day off, and Bai Qingzhi was also missing the two little ones, so she packed her things and went to see the children.

Since getting married, Nuannuan has become a full-time housewife. Although that's the case, Xiao's mother still drags her to beauty salons and shopping trips every day.

Xiao's mother treated her daughter-in-law even better than her own mother.

"Qingzhi, you're here!" Lin Nuannuan saw Bai Qingzhi from a distance and came out to greet her with delight, taking her hand and leading her into the house.

Xiao's mother was also there, and when she saw Bai Qingzhi's face while holding Niu Niu, she was still stunned for a moment.

"No matter how many times, I'm still a little surprised. How can it be so magical?" Mother Xiao handed the child over, stood up, and muttered to herself as she circled Bai Qingzhi.

Bai Qingzhi smiled slightly, greeted them, and then went to look for Niu Niu.

Niu Niu seems to like her a lot, which was evident when they first met, and even more so now.

Wherever Bai Qingzhi is, Niu Niu will definitely not let anyone else hold her.

Niu Niu is completely different now than when she was rescued. She's become a chubby little girl, so big that it's hard to hold her.

Bai Qingzhi only held him for a short while before feeling that she couldn't hold him anymore, so the three of them sat down and chatted.

Just then, Xiao Yangjing walked in from outside. Unlike when he was in school, he was now dressed in a suit and tie, and looked much more mature and composed.

But once he took off his shoes, he immediately transformed, running over to hug Lin Nuannuan with whimpering and loudly complaining.

His words were rife with complaints about his brother.

"Serves you right, who told you to provoke Big Brother back then?" Lin Nuannuan was already used to it, she pushed him away from her embrace and said with a smile.

The mere mention of this incident made Xiao Yangjing feel incredibly regretful. He secretly slapped himself, wondering why he had been so foolish as to say those things.

"Where is my son?" Xiao Yangjing looked around but did not find the other child.

"Grandpa took him out to play."

"I need to find him and train him quickly so I can retire sooner." After saying this, Xiao Yangjing hurriedly went out to look for his son.

Bai Qingzhi was immediately amused by his appearance, and looking at Nuannuan's current state, she felt it was truly wonderful.

After sitting for a while, Bai Qingzhi became restless, her eyes darting around.

Nuannuan saw through her little scheme at a glance, exchanged a look with her mother-in-law, and then spoke as if by accident.

"Big brother is the same, he's burning up and still won't take his medicine."

As soon as Nuannuan finished speaking, Bai Qingzhi's face showed anxiety.

During this period, Xiao Yuan was busy with Yu He's affairs, so the two did not meet, but contacted each other by phone every day.

When they chatted last night, Xiao Yuan replied very slowly, and she assumed that he was busy.

"You silly child, Xiao Yuan said not to let Qingzhi know, so she wouldn't worry." Xiao's mother deliberately made a stern expression.

Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatting and laughing, Bai Qingzhi had no time to tease them, and forgot about feeling embarrassed. She hurriedly asked where Xiao Yuan was.

Xiao's mother pointed upstairs, and Bai Qingzhi stood up and went over.

Just after she went upstairs, a servant came over with a bowl of medicine, as if to take it upstairs.

However, Xiao's mother stopped her directly and whispered a few words to the servants, then smiled slyly amidst their surprised gazes.

Bai Qingzhi walked to Xiao Yuan's door and knocked. There was no response from inside, so she pushed the door open and went in.

This was the first time she had entered Xiao Yuan's room.

The curtains were drawn tightly, providing excellent light blocking, and it took Bai Qingzhi a while to adjust before she could see what was inside.

The large bed had a bulge, which was Xiao Yuan sleeping under the covers.

As Bai Qingzhi got closer, she finally saw that Xiao Yuan's cheeks were a little red. She reached out and touched them, and they were burning hot.

Xiao Yuan, lying on the bed, felt a cool sensation on his forehead and unconsciously moved closer.

"Get up and take your medicine." Bai Qingzhi frowned deeply; she estimated the temperature to be around 39 degrees Celsius.

As if he had heard her words, Xiao Yuan stirred and groggily opened his eyes.

"Just leave it there, I'll eat it later." Xiao Yuan didn't see clearly that the person in front of him was Bai Qingzhi, and only thought that she was a maid who came to deliver medicine.

Bai Qingzhi frowned even more upon hearing his words. Just now, Xiao's mother had said that he didn't like taking medicine.

"Get up and take your medicine!" Bai Qingzhi was a little angry; someone this old was still so willful.

My voice unconsciously got a little louder.

Still half asleep, Xiao Yuan suddenly heard a familiar voice, sat up in bed, squinted at the person in front of him, and then smiled the next second.

I'm so delirious from the fever that I can't even recognize the child's voice.
