The two men's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they walked out together without exchanging a word.
"Where are you going?" Bai Qinghuai only realized what was happening after getting into the car, and asked his friend who looked even colder than himself.
“He hit Xiao Yangjing,” Xiao Yuan replied coldly.
Bai Qinghuai subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Xiao Yangjing had been beaten a lot since he was a child, and every time he was beaten, Xiao Yuan would say that he deserved it.
He looked at Xiao Yuan with suspicion, a possibility surfaced in his mind, but he immediately dismissed it.
But he still said one thing:
"Don't even think about hitting on my sister, you're not good enough for her."
Xiao Yuan snorted coldly, did not answer, and the car flew off in quick succession.
Bai Qingzhi was sitting with Xiao Yangjing at this moment, listening to him talk about his past funny stories, most of which were him bragging about how he bravely defeated others.
But Bai Qingzhi listened with great interest.
From a young age, she knew her true identity and was terrified of being thrown out of the house, so she was always careful in her actions. When she heard Xiao Yangjing's story, she couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
Just then, two men walked in side by side and immediately spotted the girl with starry eyes, looking at the chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) boy with an expression of adoration.
Xiao Yuan usually doesn't like to show his face in front of the media, while Bai Qinghuai is the opposite. The police officer on duty was surprised that these two big shots could come together, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Xiao Yangjing!" Xiao Yuan's voice was pleasant, and his sudden words instantly drew the attention of both of them.
Bai Qingzhi looked over, and then felt her mind go blank.
How can there be such a handsome man? He doesn't pale in comparison even when standing next to the older brother.
The Bai family has excellent genes, producing handsome men and beautiful women. Bai Qinghuai is even known as the most eligible bachelor in Kyoto, possessing both good looks and wealth. However, at this moment, Xiao Yuan is more in line with Bai Qingzhi's aesthetic preferences.
Noticing the girl's gaze, Xiao Yuan chuckled inwardly and was about to greet her when a figure blocked his way.
"Qingzhi." Bai Qinghuai stepped forward and saw the dust behind his younger sister's white t-shirt, his eyes darkening instantly.
"Big brother is late." Bai Qinghuai didn't say much, and his expression was even more blank when he spoke, but Bai Qingzhi could still hear the concern in his voice.
She gave a sweet smile, greeted Xiao Yangjing, and was then led to the car by Bai Qinghuai.
When Bai Qinghuai returned to deal with those scumbags, he was told that they had been bailed out by Xiao Yuan.
When the call was made, all that could be heard were Xiao Yuan's miserable screams and constant pleas for mercy.
Bai Qinghuai felt that Xiao Yuan definitely had ulterior motives towards his sister, and immediately spoke with displeasure:
"I'm telling you, stay away from Qingzhi..."
Xiao Yuan leaned against the car and watched his men beat up several people. Without waiting for Bai Qinghuai to finish speaking, he hung up the phone without hesitation.
Seeing the miserable state of the group, Xiao Yangjing trembled and whispered, fearing something bad might happen:
"Brother, I'm not hurt anyway, so why don't we just let it go?"
In return, Xiao Yuan gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
Xiao Yangjing scratched his head. Could it be that he said something wrong?
Bai Qingzhi was genuinely frightened today. After being taken home by her older brother, she fell into a deep sleep. When she went downstairs in the morning, she found the whole family sitting neatly on the sofa, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.
He paused, then asked in a low voice what had happened.
"Qingzhi, your father has hired a few bodyguards to accompany you starting today." Bai's father was still gritting his teeth as he thought about what happened yesterday.
"Don't worry, they won't bother you," Bai's mother added.
Bai Qinghuan didn't know where Gu Ting had taken her last night, and she looked obviously sleep-deprived. When she saw Bai Qingzhi coming downstairs, she jumped up.
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have let you come back by yourself yesterday." Bai Qinghuan's voice was full of heartache.
"I'm fine, it's just that those people drank too much yesterday, don't worry about me." Bai Qingzhi felt the love of her family and quickly waved her hand in reply.
"That's settled then. Oh, and today Qinghuai should take Qingzhi to the Xiao family to properly express their gratitude. If it weren't for the second son of the Xiao family, Qingzhi might have been harmed." Father Bai slammed his hand on the table, and the matter was settled.
The Xiao family and the Bai family are not far apart, less than an hour's drive away, both located in this villa area. When the two arrived, Xiao Yangjing had not yet gotten up, while Xiao Yuan was sitting on the sofa dealing with official business.
Upon seeing his friend, Bai Qinghuai sensed danger, pulled his sister behind him, and asked with a disdainful tone:
"Why is the workaholic at home today? Aren't you going to build your business empire?"
Xiao Yuan's eyes flickered as he watched Bai Qinghuai's reaction. If he weren't afraid of worrying Bai Qingzhi, he would have knocked out a few of his friend's teeth long ago.
"Robots need rest too."
After he finished speaking, he saw a small head peek out from behind Bai Qinghuai, its big eyes blinking as it looked at him.
Upon realizing she had been discovered, Bai Qingzhi quickly shrunk her head back, but within a minute, she cautiously peeked out again.
There's nothing she can do; Xiao Yuan just happens to be her type, and she can't help but be itchy to look at him.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. This scene, when seen by Bai Qinghuai, made him feel as if a pig was eyeing his cabbage.
“Yang Jing is still sleeping. I’ll have the maid take Miss Bai for a walk. There’s a greenhouse in the backyard, filled with roses,” Xiao Yuan said, putting down his computer.
Bai Qingzhi's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the word "rose," as roses were her favorite flower.
Watching Bai Qingzhi happily leave with the servants, Bai Qinghuai clenched his teeth even tighter.
"You did this on purpose?" Bai Qinghuai asked.
Xiao Yuan didn't hide it and openly admitted it.
"The first time I saw Zhizhi was when she was six years old, a cute little girl with pink and tender skin. The second time I saw her was when she was fifteen. No one introduced us, but I recognized her at a glance." Xiao Yuan handed Bai Qinghuai a cup of tea and began to tell his story.
"At the time, I thought, how could there be such a cute girl in this world? Yang Jing mentioned it a few times when he came back, saying that the Bai family's young lady was a bit stupid."
At that time, Xiao Yuan had not yet fallen in love with Bai Qingzhi; he just thought it would be nice to have a younger sister like her.
"I realized my feelings for Zhizhi when she was eighteen. It was her birthday, and she was invited to a bar by some good friends. She drank too much and couldn't find her way back to her private room. Just when she was at a loss, I appeared in front of her." Xiao Yuan laughed as he said this.
That day, the little girl walked unsteadily toward him, as if a hole had been torn in the sky, directly illuminating his heart.
"She didn't recognize me and asked me for directions in a daze. I led her back to the door of the private room. I was supposed to go home and rest after the social event, but I waited outside until she came out and got into the car to go home before I went home."
Xiao Yuan had a smile on his face the whole time he spoke, a look that Bai Qinghuai had never seen before.
