"I'm willing, no problem." Bai Qingzhi looked into Xiao Yuan's eyes, and these words slipped out unconsciously.
Xiao Yuan's expression froze instantly, followed by a tremendous vibration in his chest.
Clenching his teeth tightly, Xiao Yuan managed to hold back his sobs.
He pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms, all the words in Xiao Yuan's heart stuck in his throat, ultimately culminating in only one sentence:
"Thank you, Zhizhi."
With the consent of both parties, the Bai and Xiao families simultaneously issued invitations and invited all media outlets to provide explanations.
In an instant, the network crashed.
Although people knew that Bai Qingzhi and Xiao Yuan were dating in the early days, the two were too low-key and never appeared in the public eye.
The last time their names were linked was because of that photo.
In addition, given the combined strength of both companies, countless people are waiting for the two to break up, hoping to take their place.
Unexpectedly, this time it exploded into something huge.
On the afternoon of the day the news was released, the phones of both companies were almost ringing off the hook, mostly from business partners who, under the guise of congratulations, were trying to verify the truth of the matter.
The rest were media outlets that somehow got their contact information and came to inquire about the inside story.
Even so, neither side warned the other out of joy. Instead, they readily acknowledged the situation and accepted each other's blessings.
Since the wedding date was set, Bai Qingzhi has been in a daze all day long, and Xiao Yuan moved back to the Xiao family home to handle some wedding matters.
He still had many things to do, and since Zhizhi was going to marry him, Xiao Yuan decided to do everything himself.
Just two weeks before the wedding, Bai Qingzhi received a phone call.
Upon hearing the other person's voice, Bai Qingzhi rolled her eyes and promptly hung up.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not give up and called again and again. Even after Bai Qingzhi blocked the number, they kept calling from different phone numbers.
"Han Yuan, are you ever going to stop? Do I even know you?" Bai Qingzhi was so annoyed that she answered the phone and started yelling at him.
"Qingzhi, we really..."
"Mr. Han, please don't speak to me in such a sentimental tone; it really makes me nauseous," Bai Qingzhi said bluntly.
"And don't call me again. I feel like there's nothing more to say between us."
After saying this, Bai Qingzhi hung up the phone early, and then, as if still not satisfied, blocked the number.
But to my surprise, the phone rang again a minute later.
After being hung up twice in a row, Bai Qingzhi finally couldn't hold back any longer and decisively turned on her microphone without even listening to what the other party was going to say.
After hurling a long string of insults without receiving a reply, Bai Qingzhi frowned in confusion, then took out her phone to check it.
The next second, Bai Qingzhi's eyes widened, and she anxiously shouted into the phone:
"Brother Yuan, it's you! I wasn't cursing you just now..."
Xiao Yuan was genuinely surprised by Bai Qingzhi's intense words. Ever since he started paying attention to Bai Qingzhi, she had always been very gentle, even speaking in a soft voice.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuan had a feeling that something must have happened.
Bai Qingzhi angrily recounted what had just happened. Xiao Yuan offered a few words of comfort, and soon another person's shout came from the other end. Xiao Yuan hurriedly said a few words and then hung up.
After Xiao Yuan's comforting words, Bai Qingzhi's anger dissipated, and she went about her own business.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan's eyes darkened slightly after dealing with his subordinates.
Han Yuan frowned more and more as he looked at the "out of service area" notification sound coming from his phone.
His original plan went smoothly. He first made a strong impression on Bai Qingzhi, then showcased his strengths one by one, and finally won Bai Qingzhi's heart.
As long as Bai Qingzhi shows even the slightest interest in him, Han Yuan can take advantage of it.
But now Bai Qingzhi's attitude is very clear: she not only has no good feelings towards me, but even feels a bit disgusted by me.
Thinking of this, Han Yuan's mind raced, and finally his eyes darkened as he focused on a plan.
He thought he had plenty of time, but the announcement made by the Bai and Xiao families a few days ago made him anxious, and he had to think of other ways.
With a week to go before the wedding, Lin Nuannuan asked Bai Qingzhi out. The two strolled around for a long time and then went to a restaurant they both loved in the evening.
It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that the two decided to go home. Just as they were waiting at the door for their respective drivers to come and pick them up, a man ran up from a distance.
A woman was following behind the man, shouting "Stop thief!" as she ran.
Lin Nuannuan glanced at Bai Qingzhi, a hint of hesitation appearing on her face.
"Nuan Nuan, don't meddle in other people's business." Bai Qingzhi shook her head and said, holding Lin Nuan Nuan's hand.
Lin Nuannuan nodded, and the two continued to wait for the car.
Han Yuan and the others, hidden in the shadows, gritted their teeth as they watched Bai Qingzhi remain unmoved.
She didn't fall for it. Isn't she supposed to be the softest-hearted person?
Han Yuan's eyes darkened. He took out his phone and dialed the numbers of the two people he had just spoken to. Before he could speak, someone suddenly blocked his way from behind.
Han Yuan froze for a moment, sensing what the person behind him was holding.
"Our boss invites you," the man said in a low voice, then grabbed Han Yuan's arm without further ado and turned to get into the car parked nearby.
A few minutes later, the two cars arrived, and Bai Qingzhi and Lin Nuannuan waved goodbye and went home.
Meanwhile, Han Yuan was taken to a car without license plates, and as soon as he got inside, someone covered his head with a black cloth.
"Who is your boss?" Han Yuan asked, trying to appear calm.
However, no one answered.
"Do you know who I am? I am the young master of the Han family. Do you want money or something else?" Han Yuan's voice was visibly trembling.
"Did I unintentionally offend your boss? I apologize to him," Han Yuan kept saying, but there was no response.
If Han Yuan hadn't sensed that there were people sitting on either side of him, he would have thought he was on an empty bus.
The car seemed to have traveled a long way, from a smooth ride at the beginning to a bumpy ride later. The car window was open, and he could clearly hear the rustling sound beside his ear.
It seemed as if the car had driven into the bushes.
The car stopped just as he was about to cry.
The people next to him were ruthless, regardless of whether he could see the road with his head covered, they dragged him forward with all their might.
Stumbling and falling to the ground, Han Yuan hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath before he was pushed into a chair. Then, with a click, he felt as if his hands had been handcuffed.
Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps sounded, and soon the room was empty. Han Yuan began to struggle, but he was tied up very tightly and had no chance of breaking free.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of leather shoes approached. Han Yuan wanted to call for help, but instinctively knew something was wrong.
The newcomer walked steadily and calmly, but the voice sounded terrifying to Han Yuan.
