And, they loved each other very deeply.
Since that's the case, we might as well just let nature take its course.
After figuring it out, Xiao Yuan suddenly felt much lighter.
Upon hearing that he was leaving, Bai Qingzhi nodded obediently, while Han Lan's expression faltered.
She heard that Xiao Yuan was injured and had been so worried that she couldn't sleep for the past few days. She finally found out that Xiao Yuan was coming to have dinner today, so she hurriedly put on makeup and rushed over.
But the other person didn't even give him a glance.
Han Lan lowered her head in disappointment, feeling somewhat resentful.
Why is it that an adopted daughter can receive special treatment from Xiao Yuan, while she, a respectable socialite, doesn't even have the right to speak?
The more Han Lan thought about it, the more resentful she became. When she recalled that she had been humiliated and kicked out of the crew because of Bai Qingzhi, Han Lan's hatred reached its peak in an instant.
Barely managing to keep his expression from becoming too ferocious, Han Lan looked up again and returned to normal.
And she appeared even more poised and elegant than before.
After politely saying goodbye and leaving the private room, Han Lan dialed the number she knew by heart as soon as she stepped out of the restaurant.
"I agree with your suggestion, but I have one more request: after the Bai family falls, I want Xiao Yuan to be completely devoted to me." Han Lan's tone was ruthless.
Just then, Xiao Yuan came out with Bai Qingzhi. Because Han Lan was at the corner, the two of them couldn't see her.
Han Lan's chest heaved as he stared intently at the two figures disappearing into the distance.
Looking at Bai Qingzhi's bright smile and Xiao Yuan's willingness to answer every question, Han Lan wished she could rush out and tear Bai Qingzhi's face to shreds.
While gossiping with Xiao Yuan, Bai Qingzhi keenly sensed someone staring at her back. She turned around in confusion and looked around, but found nothing.
But she did not let her guard down; Bai Qingzhi had always trusted her sixth sense.
The look she had just received gave off a dangerous vibe, and Bai Qingzhi became wary.
Xiao Yuan personally drove her home, and then sat in the car.
Leaning his head back in his seat and closing his eyes, Xiao Yuan frowned and tried hard to remember the past.
But even as his head began to throb slightly, he still couldn't remember anything.
Xiao Yuan sighed silently, feeling somewhat irritated.
"Boss, the Second Young Master has arranged everything for the surprise you wanted to give Miss Bai, and the resort is all ready. When would you like to depart?" The assistant looked at Xiao Yuan's schedule and estimated when they could set off.
This was the second time Xiao Yuan had heard about this since waking up, and he couldn't help but frown.
The assistant assumed he was troubled by company matters and immediately offered a helpful suggestion:
"I've arranged everything for you for the next two weeks. Most of it won't require your signature. If there are one or two, the second young master can handle them too."
Xiao Yuan had already opened his eyes, and the assistant felt uneasy being stared at.
With a fawning smile on his face, the assistant quickly turned his head back.
It's terrifying. Ever since the boss woke up, he seems to have reverted to his old self—cold, apathetic, and utterly inhuman.
Meanwhile, the assistant was silently complaining to himself, wondering how Miss Bai managed to put up with it...
Oh! No, that's not right. The boss only acts like that with them. When he's with Miss Bai, he practically smiles until his face is contorted with embarrassment...
"Let's talk about it later." Xiao Yuan didn't want to admit that he really seemed like a simp.
This time, it was the assistant who was surprised. Ignoring Xiao Yuan's cold aura, he raised his head and looked Xiao Yuan up and down and left and right.
No wonder the second young master whispered to his acquaintances that the boss had been knocked silly by a hammer.
He feels that way now too.
"Is there a problem?" Xiao Yuan glanced at him coldly, and the assistant immediately put aside all his thoughts.
"The resort's deadline is the end of the month. If you don't go, they might have to tear down all the decorations," the assistant said earnestly.
"Then let's dismantle it." Xiao Yuan's tone was calm and unwavering, and his assistant couldn't fathom his thoughts.
But Xiao Yuan was the boss, so whatever he said went, and the assistant nodded in agreement.
The next day, before Bai Qingzhi set off, she sent a message to Xiao Yuan. At first, Xiao Yuan did not reply. After hesitating for five minutes, he decided to call and ask. However, when he dialed the number, the phone was already switched off.
I checked the flight schedule online and knew I had probably already boarded the plane.
Ou Yiyi had already joined the film crew in Wenzhou, but now one of the main actors there has had an accident, so filming has to be suspended for a while.
Bai Qingzhi planned to use this time to let Ou Yiyi get to know more people, which would also help her future career.
Bai Qingze's announcements had been suspended for a long time, and only recently have there been signs of resumption.
The plane took almost three hours to land. Since the entire trip required self-payment, Bai Qingzhi had booked a hotel and car well in advance.
However, when she got off the bus, she encountered someone who was both expected and unexpected.
My second brother.
Bai Qingze was wearing a black tracksuit and sunglasses. After the previous assault incident, he shaved his head completely, leaving only a stubble.
If he used to look like a pretty boy, now he has a tough guy style.
When Ou Yiyi saw Bai Qingze, her eyes lit up for a moment, then she grinned and lowered her head.
"Are you going to participate in a program?" Bai Qingze asked his sister without looking at Ou Yiyi.
Bai Qingzhi inwardly complained, but she didn't expose her second brother and obediently answered.
The two chatted for a while, then Bai Qingze made an excuse that he had to rush to another event and wanted to leave.
He turned around without any hesitation.
Disappointment flashed across Ou Yi's eyes as she stared blankly at his retreating figure.
Bai Qingzhi rolled her eyes at her second brother again in her heart, and then shouted irritably:
"Second Brother!"
Bai Qingze stopped in his tracks.
"Yi Yi also has a role in the new play. Could you teach her sometime?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qingze gave his sister an approving look.
Then he gave a perfunctory answer:
"Sure, I have no problem with that, but I don't know if Miss Ou has the time."
Ou Yi glanced at Bai Qingzhi, then at Bai Qingze, and nodded quickly and innocently.
Bai Qingze suppressed a smile and then immediately set a time.
He would also attend the evening banquet, where he would have plenty of time to catch up with them.
Once Bai Qingze was out of sight, Ou Yiyi turned her gaze away, then looked at Bai Qingzhi with a radiant smile and said:
"Qingzhi, thank you! Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to talk to him."
Bai Qingzhi looked into Ou Yiyi's sincere eyes and sighed inwardly.
Oh dear, this silly child, he didn't even realize he'd been sold out.
"You don't reject my second brother anymore?" Bai Qingzhi twisted open her water glass, asked, and then took a sip.
Ou Yiyi didn't hide anything and nodded honestly when asked the question.
"Yeah! I suddenly realize I might like him, so I've decided I'm going to pursue him!"
*Pfft*, he spat out a mouthful of water.
