After thinking it through, Xiao Yuan made his decision.
Hearing that the other party hadn't spoken for so long, Bai Qingzhi curiously looked up and saw that Xiao Yuan's eyes were staring at her.
"how……"
"Zhizhi, I like you." Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuan confessed.
Xiao Yuan had never felt so nervous before, not even when his father brought him to the Xiao Corporation to introduce him to the shareholders on the first day.
Bai Qingzhi was completely dumbfounded.
This confession was so sudden.
In a panic, Bai Qingzhi stood up and tried to run away, but Xiao Yuan grabbed her wrist, almost burning her.
"I know it's a bit sudden, but Zhizhi, this feeling has been hidden in my heart for a long time. I was afraid you would be scared, worried that I would scare you away, and at the same time, I just hoped that I could just look at you." Xiao Yuan continued eagerly.
Bai Qingzhi kept her head very low.
"But lately you've started to reject me. I don't know what I did wrong, but I feel like if I don't say it now, I'll never have another chance. Zhizhi, I'm not asking you to be with me, but could you... please stop ignoring me?"
Xiao Yuan's tone was somewhat pitiful.
Bai Qingzhi softened her heart.
Seemingly sensing her thoughts, Xiao Yuan pressed on.
"What you heard Miss Bai say that day was a lie!"
He didn't want to keep deceiving Zhizhi anymore.
Bai Qingzhi looked up instantly upon hearing this, somewhat incredulous.
"It's true, she said that on purpose to deceive Gu Ting! My relationship with her is completely innocent." Xiao Yuan swore with his free hand.
Bai Qingzhi subconsciously wanted to ask why the receptionist at Xiao's was so familiar with her sister, but in the end she didn't ask.
"Whether you and my sister are innocent or not has nothing to do with me," Bai Qingzhi retorted stubbornly.
"Zhizhi, I've only ever loved one person in my life, so sometimes I don't know what the best course of action is. Can you give me a chance?" Xiao Yuan's voice softened.
Bai Qingzhi's face turned bright red.
Shouldn't Xiao Yuan be the cool, arrogant type? Why is he acting like a puppy now?
"That depends on your performance!" Bai Qingzhi answered loudly with her head down, then broke free from Xiao Yuan's restraint and ran out.
Xiao Yuan didn't chase after her, but watched the child's retreating figure with a smile in his eyes.
Excitedly giving a "yes" sign, Xiao Yuan almost wanted to laugh out loud three times.
Liu Chenghan had been watching the two of them ever since they went to the bench. Although he was too far away to hear what they were saying, he could guess some of what they were saying from their expressions.
Especially when Bai Qingzhi shyly ran back at the end, Liu Chenghan understood even more.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then picked up his phone.
"David, put down what you're holding." Liu Chenghan was nowhere to be seen as a gentleman at this moment.
"Boss, come and try this!" an employee behind him suddenly shouted.
Turning his head, Liu Chenghan transformed back into that elegant gentleman, his gold-rimmed glasses reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.
In the afternoon, Bai Qingzhi received a call from her sister. Her sister sounded anxious on the phone, which made her heart pound.
After saying a few words to Liu Chenghan, Bai Qingzhi decisively took a car and rushed home.
It turned out that Bai's father had been in a car accident at noon, but fortunately his injuries were not serious, only a broken leg.
Police investigation found no signs of human intervention.
"The car was perfectly fine, so why is there a problem with the brakes? Wasn't it serviced just a few days ago?" Bai Qingzhi asked.
Even if she didn't understand these things, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.
"Qingzhi, sometimes you just can't guard against everything. You must be more careful when you go out in the future!" Bai's father replied sternly.
But Bai Qinghuan already had some guesses in her mind.
After thinking it over, he pulled Bai Qingzhi aside and subtly suggested that Liu Chenghan seemed to have a problem.
Bai Qingzhi didn't answer directly, her mind replaying the previous coincidences and the strange feeling in her heart.
"Qingzhi, I'm afraid someone might try to harm you," Bai Qinghuan said worriedly.
She couldn't protect this younger sister in her past life, and in this life she had made the most comprehensive plans, but accidents still kept happening one after another.
This made her somewhat uneasy.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I can protect myself," Bai Qingzhi replied with a slight smile.
She could actually sense that her sister was unusual, just like how her sister could sometimes foresee the future.
She also knew that her sister had many identities and even more secrets.
But Bai Qingzhi didn't care. As long as her sister was still her sister, what was wrong with having a little secret?
Ever since Xiao Yuan confessed his feelings, he noticed that Zhizhi was avoiding him even more, but she would still reply whenever he contacted her on his phone.
Xiao Yuan knew he should give Zhizhi some time to process things, as there were still some things left to deal with in the Xiao family.
After telling Zhizhi about his itinerary, Xiao Yuan boarded a plane and flew abroad.
This time, he will eliminate all the hidden dangers in the Xiao family!
Knowing that Xiao Yuan had left City A, Bai Qingzhi felt a little empty inside. She stared blankly at the painting, and her face flushed as if she had thought of something.
Suddenly, the phone rang. Bai Qingzhi glanced at it and saw the contact name was Liu Chenghan.
The words her sister had once said flashed through her mind, and Bai Qingzhi's eyes darted around a few times before she answered.
"Qingzhi, shall I pick you up tonight?"
She hadn't forgotten her promise to Liu Chenghan that day; she was going to his house today.
Bai Qingzhi showed no sign of anything amiss and agreed with a smile.
However, after hanging up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
When the car drove into the Liu family's house, Bai Qingzhi realized that there were actually many people inside.
She had a bad impression of this place because of what happened at the Liu family's house last time.
When Liu's mother saw Bai Qingzhi enter, she immediately stood up with a smile to greet her and introduced her to the noble ladies in front of her one by one.
These are all Liu's mother's friends, and according to her, they were meeting up for tea today.
Bai Qingzhi ignored her thoughts and smiled, nodding politely in response.
"Aunt Hao will be here soon." Liu Chenghan handed Bai Qingzhi an orange and gently comforted her.
She also gave her mother a look, signaling her not to bother the two of them anymore.
Mother Liu naturally knew that her son had already confessed his feelings to Bai Qingzhi, and seeing that Bai Qingzhi had agreed to come over today, she immediately beamed with joy.
Seeing the look in his son's eyes, he immediately nodded in agreement.
It has to be said that Liu Chenghan has a high EQ, and Bai Qingzhi finds it very easy to chat with him.
Half an hour later, Miss Hao arrived, but Bai Qingzhi felt that her guesses had been wrong the moment she saw her.
Miss Hao's designs were gentle and had beautiful lines, but Bai Qingzhi felt an air of arrogance about her.
It feels somewhat out of place.
"Aunt Hao, this is Bai Qingzhi, the second young lady of the Bai family," Liu Chenghan introduced.
Hao Yan had short hair, slightly upturned eyes, and heavy makeup. She glanced at Bai Qingzhi after hearing Liu Chenghan's introduction.
"Miss Bai is indeed as innocent and naive as the legends say." Hao Yan laughed, but Bai Qingzhi's sixth sense told her that the woman opposite her looked down on her.
In an instant, all the excitement I felt when I arrived vanished.
