"Um... I didn't mean to lie to him." Bai Qingzhi's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, until she finally lowered her head.
She felt her face was burning hot, as if it were about to catch fire.
Xiao Yuan's smile deepened as he slowly approached Bai Qingzhi and took her hand.
"If you want to be smart, you need to stay in there longer. That way, your learning will get better and better." Xiao Yuan turned to look at the child in the sand, his tone exceptionally serious.
Seeing that the handsome older brother and sister said so, the child naturally believed it, nodded vigorously, and grabbed a handful of sand from the side and covered himself with it.
After doing all that, he seemed afraid the sand would fall, so he reached out and patted it hard again.
With a sweet smile, the child sincerely hoped that he could become smarter and smarter.
Bai Qingzhi had been watching Xiao Yuan the whole time he was speaking, and at that moment, she could clearly hear her heart pounding even harder in her chest.
The sunlight shone down, bathing Xiao Yuan in a glow that shone directly into her eyes.
Holding Bai Qingzhi's hand, Xiao Yuan walked a little towards the seaside, feeling only the tranquility of life.
She looked up at the blinding sunlight, then turned around and carefully adjusted Bai Qingzhi's hat before finally saying with a wronged expression:
"Zhizhi, you came out to play without even taking me..."
Bai Qingzhi hadn't recovered from the shock of his good looks when she heard his words. She blinked quickly and took a moment to process what he meant.
Hasty explanation:
"No, my third brother brought me out, he..."
Xiao Yuan cut off all the words that followed, and in the sunlight, he lowered his head and kissed her intently.
Surrounded by people from all over the world, in this open country, kissing is nothing to be ashamed of.
Everyone who saw it wore a smile of blessing.
"I know, how could my Zhizhi possibly abandon me?" Xiao Yuan murmured to himself as he pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Yuan had kissed her in front of others, so Bai Qingzhi gradually got used to it, her face only blushing briefly.
She wrapped her arms around Xiao Yuan's waist, and as she listened to his words, she seemed to be responding to him:
"Yes, I will never abandon you."
Just as the two were exchanging a smile, an untimely voice came from behind.
"Miss Bai, you're here too."
Bai Qingzhi felt the voice was somewhat familiar, and curiously turned her head to look, only to find that it was Han Yuan.
Ever since she learned about his relationship with Ou Yiyi, Bai Qingzhi's opinion of him has worsened, and she unconsciously frowned when she saw him.
Han Yuan stepped forward familiarly, while Xiao Yuan, with his arm around Bai Qingzhi, stared blankly at him, wondering what he was up to.
Upon seeing Xiao Yuan, Han Yuan smiled and nodded as a greeting.
Then they started making small talk.
"Zhizhi, what would you like to drink? I'll go buy it for you." Xiao Yuan deliberately asked, thinking that Han Yuan probably had something to say to Zhizhi alone.
Bai Qingzhi immediately understood and casually suggested a drink. Xiao Yuan nodded and walked towards the nearby shop.
He wasn't worried about what Han Yuan might do, since his own men had come with him and were currently protecting Zhizhi nearby.
Seeing that Xiao Yuan had walked far away and could no longer hear their conversation, Han Yuan said with a worried expression:
"Sorry I haven't contacted you."
Bai Qingzhi was completely bewildered. She began to suspect that her account had been hacked and what the hacker had said to Han Yuan.
“I was abroad when the incident happened last time, and by the time I came back, things had calmed down. I’m afraid that if I bring it up again, it will upset you.”
Han Yuan's words became increasingly outrageous, and Bai Qingzhi's brows furrowed deeply as her brain raced, trying to figure out what he was talking about.
Before she could figure it out, she saw Han Yuan become agitated, take another step forward, and make a move to grab her.
Bai Qingzhi quickly dodged, and Han Yuan, unconcerned, raised his voice slightly and continued:
"Why are you still with someone like that? You're so outstanding, you can definitely find someone who treats you better than him!"
Xiao Yuan, who was not far away, had been listening intently and heard this as well. He immediately crushed the drink in his hand.
"What kind of person?" Although Bai Qingzhi didn't know what the other person was talking about, she guessed that Han Yuan was probably saying bad things about Xiao Yuan.
"He's cheated on you and has a child! Do you still want to stay with him?"
Bai Qingzhi finally understood why.
After the photos came out last time, Xiao Yuan didn't respond specifically, and Bai Qingzhi didn't take it seriously either, which is why Han Yuan made such agitated remarks today.
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. Besides, Brother Yuan is very good to me," Bai Qingzhi replied coldly.
The other person's appearance just now even made her think that she was Han Yuan's sister.
"How could I not worry? I like you!" Han Yuan's words completely stunned Bai Qingzhi.
Looking at Bai Qingzhi's appearance, Han Yuan's expression deepened, and he continued speaking with even more emotion:
"Since I saw you, my heart has been unable to hold any other woman. I know it's abrupt to say this, but Qingzhi, I hope you can see my true feelings."
Han Yuan spoke with such deep emotion that he even moved himself.
"So the last time you and Ou Yiyi were discussing the script in the car?" Bai Qingzhi didn't want to waste any more words with him, and just felt that Han Yuan was extremely hypocritical.
Upon hearing Ou Yiyi's name, Han Yuan's expression clearly froze for a moment, and then, taking advantage of Bai Qingzhi's inattention, he grabbed her hand.
"She seduced me, Qingzhi, you have to believe me."
The way things unfolded struck Bai Qingzhi as somewhat surreal. If someone who didn't know the situation saw this, they might think the two were a couple.
He shook his hand in disgust, but unfortunately, he couldn't shake it off.
Han Yuan gripped his hand tighter and tighter, his expression becoming exceptionally sincere.
Just then, another large hand grabbed Han Yuan's hand and slowly applied force.
He only cried out in pain when a look of pain appeared on his face and his exposed fingers turned black.
"I didn't know Mr. Han was such a sentimental person. He was traveling in Europe with his female companion just a few days ago, and today he comes to confess his love." Xiao Yuan's voice was cold.
Han Yuan's expression froze, and he looked at Bai Qingzhi, only to see disgust in her eyes.
He wanted to say something more, but Xiao Yuan didn't give him the chance. He simply waved his hand and ordered his men to drag him away.
"Does he... have something wrong with his head?" Bai Qingzhi stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm, and asked curiously with wide eyes.
She could count the number of times she had met Han Yuan on one hand. Today, he suddenly rushed over and expressed his deep affection for her. Bai Qingzhi would have to be crazy to believe that.
"It's all because my Zhizhi is too outstanding that so many people like her." Xiao Yuan reached out and smoothed her hair, then said in a sour tone.
