Lou Xiaoxiao remained calm about the situation; in her opinion, it would be strange if Bai Qinghuan could track the other party down.
What they do in this line of work cannot be explained by science at all.
Metaphysicians have countless ways to evade pursuit.
The Bai and Xiao families even sent people to investigate, but Lou Xiaoxiao just shook her head and advised them to give up.
The only way to defeat a metaphysician is through another metaphysician.
In an instant, Lou Xiaoxiao felt that the burden on her shoulders had become even heavier.
Since leaving Xiao Yuan's office last time, Han Lan has been showing up from time to time to make her presence known, but she keeps a good distance so as not to be annoying.
Even Bai Qingzhi secretly sighed in her heart, if Han Lan had any sense at all and had fallen for another man, she probably would have had a wonderful love story.
On the seventh day, the woman sent word that Han Lan could proceed with further action.
Without a second's hesitation, Han Lan dialed Xiao Yuan's private cell phone directly.
At this moment, Xiao Yuan was cooking for Bai Qingzhi. When he saw the names that had been noted and were waiting, Xiao Yuan frowned impatiently.
It took a few seconds to answer, and then the speakerphone was turned on.
"Who is it?" Xiao Yuan's voice was somewhat cold, trying his best to hide his inner disgust.
Han Lan sat on the bed, clenching her fists excitedly. She controlled her trembling voice before answering:
"It's me."
"Han Lan?"
Hearing that Xiao Yuan recognized her voice, Han Lan became even more certain that the spell had taken effect.
"I wanted to ask if you have time? I'd like to go to your company this afternoon," Han Lan said gently.
Bai Qingzhi listened from the side, and goosebumps involuntarily rose on her body.
"Okay, I'll let the front desk know." Xiao Yuan said and then hung up the phone decisively.
Being able to calmly say those two sentences to Han Lan was already his absolute limit.
"Do you have time? I'd like to come to your place this afternoon." After hanging up the phone, Bai Qingzhi stood up and spoke in a affected, high-pitched voice.
Xiao Yuan squinted at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and pulled her to his side.
The two people were facing each other, no more than a hand's width apart.
“You can go anytime you want, there’s no need for this gesture. As long as it’s you, you can go anytime.”
As Bai Qingzhi watched Xiao Yuan's lips move up and down, she couldn't help but recall how she would feel a sudden dryness in her mouth every time Xiao Yuan kissed her.
Unconsciously, Xiao Yuan swallowed, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He knew that his own face was completely defenseless against childishness.
As he slowly lowered his head, he saw that Zhizhi was swallowing even more forcefully.
He decisively pressed his lips to hers, and immediately her childish cheeks turned bright red.
Bai Qingzhi had already realized what was happening and was once again attracted by Xiao Yuan's good looks, which made her somewhat embarrassed and angry.
She shoved Xiao Yuan aside, her face flushed, and ran to the dining table, shouting loudly with her head down:
"Don't get so close to me in the future!"
She was afraid that if it happened a couple more times, she would be unable to resist pouncing on him.
Xiao Yuan's smile widened.
“But I can’t live without Zhizhi!” Xiao Yuan said naturally, but Bai Qingzhi still detected a hint of grievance in his tone.
I felt a little guilty and began to doubt whether my attitude just now was bad.
When she looked up, her eyes met Xiao Yuan's, and she noticed the smile on his lips and in his eyes. Only then did Bai Qingzhi realize that he had done it on purpose.
She stood up, ran over, and pinched Xiao Yuan's stomach, finally satisfying herself.
It was already past 2 PM when Xiao Yuan returned to the company, and Han Lan had been waiting for quite a while.
"President Xiao," Han Lan said, standing up with a smile.
Before coming, Xiao Yuan specifically consulted Lou Xiaoxiao about his current state, so he was able to act effortlessly in front of Han Lan.
"Just call me Xiao Yuan from now on." Although he didn't smile, his tone was much gentler.
Han Lan was thrilled and nodded hurriedly.
Upon reaching the front desk, Xiao Yuan earnestly instructed:
"From now on, Miss Han doesn't need to make an appointment; she can just go straight up."
Han Lan followed quietly behind, and just after Xiao Yuan entered the elevator, she happened to pass by the front desk.
"How about that? I really told you to be more careful at work last time, didn't I?" He finished with a smug smile.
The receptionist snorted inwardly and mentally ranted.
"Mr. Xiao has gotten too cocky since he brought her here. I dare say, if Mr. Xiao is with her today, it'll be the day he goes blind!" the receptionist said in the group chat.
The people inside echoed this sentiment.
Han Lan walked behind Xiao Yuan all the way to the president's office. Along the way, people greeted Xiao Yuan, and she seemed to feel this honor as well.
Looking around, Han Lan was so excited she could hardly contain herself. If she had just a little more time, she would have half of everything here!
The thought of becoming the mistress of the Xiao family and a representative of China's top elite families made Han Lan unconsciously laugh out loud.
The two entered the office, and Han Lan tried to start a few conversations, but Xiao Yuan kept working, so she stopped talking.
Sitting on the sofa, gazing intently at Xiao Yuan, Han Lan's eyes gradually became unfocused.
Xiao Yuan felt annoyed by her gaze, as if she wanted to strip him naked. He sat in the chair, feeling extremely frustrated, and just wanted to throw her out.
She took a few deep breaths to suppress the resentment in her heart and sent a message to Bai Qingzhi, telling her to come over quickly.
In fact, Bai Qingzhi arrived with Xiao Yuan and had been squatting downstairs waiting to go up and "catch them in the act".
Seeing Zhizhi's reply that she would be online in two minutes, Xiao Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Han Lan.
"Miss Han." Xiao Yuan's sudden voice startled Han Lan from her reverie.
"Xiao Yuan, you can just call me Han Lan," Han Lan replied softly.
Xiao Yuan forced a small smile and continued:
"I wonder if Mr. Han has any time recently. There was some misunderstanding regarding the suspension of our cooperation last time. I would like to invite Mr. Han to a simple meal."
Han Lan's eyes lit up with surprise upon hearing this.
Does Xiao Yuan's initiative to invite her father to dinner mean that she is now very important to him?
To test it out, Han Lan took a few steps forward.
Today she was wearing a long coat over a low-cut dress.
"Okay, whatever you say." Han Lan smiled shyly, then pretended to feel hot and reached out to unbutton her coat.
Xiao Yuan had to exert all his self-control to refrain from throwing a punch at Han Lan.
As Han Lan drew closer to him, Xiao Yuan clenched his fists under the table.
If Zhizhi doesn't come in soon, the act really won't be able to continue.
Just then, the pleasant sound of the door opening rang out. Han Lan turned her head unhappily to see who had disturbed her good time.
Didn't you notice that Xiao Yuan was tense and about to lose control? Han Lan believed that if there were just two more minutes, Xiao Yuan would definitely fall at her feet.
