“Childhood…” Xiao Yuan’s voice was tinged with laughter.
Bai Qingzhi was startled by his voice. In her panic, she let go of the door and was about to turn her head to look when she got stuck there.
Xiao Yuan felt his heart skip a beat. Ignoring his own status, he knelt down on one knee and carefully tidied her up.
"It's red." Sure enough, a red mark was pressed onto Bai Qingzhi's neck.
"It doesn't hurt." Bai Qingzhi turned her head and realized that so many people were watching her embarrassing moment. Her cheeks turned bright red, and she lowered her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But Xiao Yuan didn't care at all. He put one arm around Bai Qingzhi's shoulder and smiled as he said to the group:
"This is my fiancée. She's young and playful, so please don't mind her."
"Mr. Xiao, you're too kind. This young lady seems to have a very good personality." How could anyone laugh at that?
Looking at Xiao Yuan's nervous appearance, even a blind man could tell how important this woman was to him.
The office door opened, and Xiao Yuan paused for a moment as he walked to the side.
"Change it tomorrow, switch to the kind with tampons."
The heat that had just subsided on Bai Qingzhi's cheeks suddenly flared up again.
Xiao Yuan's words implied that he was afraid of being stuck again in the future.
This is a complete joke!
She secretly reached out and pinched Xiao Yuan's waist, earning him a nonchalant smile in return.
"Go and rest for a while." Xiao Yuan escorted Bai Qingzhi to the lounge before turning back to continue his negotiations with the others.
"Mr. Xiao and his fiancée have a really good relationship," a foreigner said in broken Chinese.
Xiao Yuan smiled again, but didn't say anything more about the two of them.
However, their attitude was not as firm as it had been during the initial negotiations.
Who could blame him for saying something that resonated with him so deeply?
The other party clearly realized this as well, and knew the importance of knowing when to stop while they were ahead, so they readily agreed to Xiao Yuan's cooperation terms.
An order that would normally take an hour to complete was finalized in less than twenty minutes after entering the office. After a few more minutes of simple pleasantries, Xiao Yuan glanced at his watch and decided to see the guest out.
The other party wanted to invite Xiao Yuan to lunch, and Xiao Yuan pointed in the direction of the lounge, and the other party immediately understood.
After leaving Zhiyuan Company with a friendly smile, Xiao Yuan instructed his assistant to personally take his business partner to a restaurant and accommodation. Although he could not personally entertain them, he was impeccably hospitable.
Bai Qingzhi lay on the large bed in the lounge, her mind filled with what had just happened.
For a moment, his toes curled up in embarrassment, and his face showed waves of frustration.
He thumped his head, wondering why he had been squatting on the ground like a thief, peeking into the office!
More importantly, it was seen by so many people!
"I'm going to die!" Bai Qingzhi suddenly pulled the blanket over her head.
This was the scene that Xiao Yuan saw when he entered. Knowing Bai Qingzhi as he did, he naturally knew what she was doing.
He laughed silently, not daring to laugh out loud, but his constantly shrugging shoulders betrayed him.
Just as Bai Qingzhi was feeling annoyed, she heard a slight sound and carefully took the quilt off.
Then came Xiao Yuan's silent mockery.
Xiao Yuan felt a gaze fixed on him, and when he looked up, he saw Zhi Zhi's angry eyes.
Suppressing his laughter, Xiao Yuan clenched his fist and coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth with it.
"You're making fun of me!" Bai Qingzhi reached out and punched the bed hard.
Coupled with her disheveled appearance, she posed no threat whatsoever; on the contrary, she made Xiao Yuan want to go over and touch her hair.
"You're still laughing!" Bai Qingzhi felt her face burning.
"I didn't laugh."
You smiled!
“Okay, I laughed.” Xiao Yuan didn’t argue anymore, walked closer to Bai Qingzhi and sat down next to her.
"I'm laughing at how adorable my naivety is?" Xiao Yuan reached out and touched her hair. "Mmm, so sweet."
"Don't you think I'm embarrassing you?" Bai Qingzhi asked again, her eyes wide.
After all, there were so many people, and Xiao Yuan was such a big boss; he was making a complete fool of himself by acting like this.
"How could that be? Why would Zhizhi think that?" This time it was truly Xiao Yuan's turn to be surprised.
In his heart, Bai Qingzhi was the most adorable no matter what she did, so how could she possibly embarrass him?
Only after Xiao Yuan's repeated assurances did Bai Qingzhi's embarrassment slowly fade, and Xiao Yuan didn't dare to mention it again.
Xiao Yuan took Bai Qingzhi to the restaurant he had booked, and decided not to go back to the company that afternoon.
With no other places to go in the afternoon, the two decided to go directly to the lakeside and date as they walked.
The sun isn't too strong today, the temperature is just right, and it's the most beautiful time of the season.
Bai Qingzhi skipped and hopped ahead like a child, turning around every now and then to call out "Brother Yuan."
Xiao Yuan had a smile on his face the whole time, staying close to Bai Qingzhi.
There were many people strolling around nearby, and they all smiled amicably at the two of them.
It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that Bai Qingzhi finally got tired of playing, and the two of them found a bench.
Xiao Yuan, carrying Bai Qingzhi's bag, looked at her rosy cheeks and handed her the water bottle inside.
Bai Qingzhi smiled and accepted it, then looked at Xiao Yuan and said:
"Brother Yuan, you're like a loving father!"
Xiao Yuan paused, then pinched her cheek helplessly.
He's already thirty-two this year, not old enough to be a father.
"I also think I'll be a good father in the future." Xiao Yuan took the other person's words as a compliment.
Bai Qingzhi chuckled twice, then deliberately moved closer to him.
"Brother Yuan, do you not like it when people say you're old?"
After saying that, he chuckled twice, clearly on purpose.
"Zhizhi, aren't you of legal marriage age?" Xiao Yuan didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.
Bai Qingzhi nodded blankly.
She didn't know why Xiao Yuan's topic had changed so quickly.
"My family has already asked someone to calculate an auspicious date," Xiao Yuan said with a gentle smile as he carefully put away the water glass Bai Qingzhi had drunk from.
"Calculate the date? What date?" Bai Qingzhi's big eyes were full of doubt.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Yuan loved her even more.
"Could it be that Zhizhi has forgotten our promise from ten months ago?"
Ten months ago?
Bai Qingzhi suddenly remembered that when Xiao Yuan proposed to her on the island, his family had set a timeframe of one year for him.
Counting the days, there are still two months left.
The thought of marrying Xiao Yuan in two months made Bai Qingzhi a little flustered.
With a slightly evasive look in her eyes, Bai Qingzhi stammered, trying to change the subject, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yuan's smile deepened, and he patted her hair, taking the initiative to steer the conversation elsewhere.
But Bai Qingzhi's mind clearly wandered after that, and she spoke absentmindedly.
Xiao Yuan chuckled to himself, holding Bai Qingzhi's hand tightly and refusing to let go.
