"Young Master, should we ask President Xiao..." The old butler quietly withdrew when he saw Enzhe return, and reappeared beside Enzhe.
“I’m aware of this matter,” Enzhe replied, his eyes darkening.
He didn't say anything more, withdrew his gaze, and returned to his study, not letting anyone in and locking the door from the inside.
Sitting in his boss's chair, Enzhe opened his drawer, touched his personal weapon, and then gently wiped it.
"Xiao Yuan." En Zhe slowly uttered these two words.
Just then, there was a knock on the study door. Enzhe narrowed his eyes and guessed who it was.
The servants of the Eun family never come to his study to disturb him; this is the rule of the Eun family.
Enzhe opened the door without putting the gun away, and Xiao Yuan saw it the moment he entered.
"Has someone offended President En?" Xiao Yuan showed no unusual expression and walked to the sofa to sit down.
"It's nothing, just some blind fools." Enzhe laughed, then put the weapon back in the drawer.
Xiao Yuan didn't pay much attention to these things, and casually nodded before continuing:
"I've been bothering you for quite a few days now, so I plan to pack up and leave tomorrow."
Enzhe was stunned as soon as he finished speaking. Bai Qingzhi was still here, and he was actually leaving?
"To be honest, you introduced me to that plastic surgeon, and I went to him too, and had my childish face recreated." He finished with a smile.
"You really did it?" Enzhe asked incredulously. Xiao Yuan didn't seem like the kind of person who could do such a thing!
"Rather than longing for someone, it's better to keep them by your side, even if they're just a substitute." Xiao Yuan said this with a straight face.
"Mr. Xiao's feelings for his wife are truly deep." Enzhe didn't say much, but looked at Xiao Yuan with approval.
"I came here today to say goodbye to Enzhe, and I'll have to bother you again tonight." Xiao Yuan said and stood up.
Enzhe watched the other person's departing figure with a puzzled look in his eyes. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yuan had no suspicion that Enzhe was Bai Qingzhi, but why was he so calm?
"Keep an eye on Mr. Xiao, especially his relationship with Miss Xiao." Enzhe called his subordinate in and gave the order while looking out the window.
The En family's subordinates were all skilled in martial arts and each carried a weapon, which was why Xiao Yuan dared not act rashly.
After Xiao Yuan came out of the study, he went to Bai Qingzhi's side. Bai Qingzhi was lounging on the sofa watching a movie, with snacks all around her.
"Didn't you eat enough tonight?" Xiao Yuan asked with a smile in his eyes.
Even if I don't remember anything, my childish little habits remain unchanged.
Enzhe thought he had covered it up perfectly, but he overlooked how much attention he paid to Zhizhi. He knew what Zhizhi was thinking just from a simple glance.
When Bai Qingzhi saw Xiao Yuan's eyes, her heart started racing, especially since he was looking at her intently with a smile, his pupils reflecting her image. Bai Qingzhi felt her cheeks burning.
"Why does he have to be so handsome for no reason!" Bai Qingzhi muttered softly, thinking that her voice was so quiet that only she could hear it, but Xiao Yuan's smile widened.
Xiao Yuan had always known the influence his face had on Zhizhi, so upon seeing Zhizhi's appearance, Xiao Yuan decided to make full use of his advantage.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," Xiao Yuan said with a smile.
"Where are you going?" Bai Qingzhi unconsciously sat up straighter, her eyes flashing with confusion.
However, after asking, she realized that this was the En family's home, not Xiao Yuan's. She had guessed his purpose in being here these past few days: it was for her face, which resembled his wife's.
The thought of being used as a substitute made Bai Qingzhi feel sad, but she quickly put it out of her mind.
"I haven't formally introduced myself yet, even though I've been here for so long." Xiao Yuan shifted his position, getting closer to Zhizhi.
Bai Qingzhi's big eyes were filled with even more doubt. Didn't she already know that his name was Xiao Yuan?
"My name is Xiao Yuan, I'm from China. I have a brother, my younger brother is married with children and owns several small companies. Our annual income is enough to support our whole family. I don't have any bad habits. I smoke, but I'm not addicted. I drink a little, but only when it's for business purposes." Xiao Yuan spoke with exceptional seriousness.
"I have no physical illnesses, no family history of hereditary diseases, a clean background, and a harmonious family."
Hearing this, Bai Qingzhi swallowed hard. What was this blatant opening line from a blind date?
Seeing the way Xiao Yuan was looking at her, Bai Qingzhi blurted out as if possessed:
"My name is Enzhi. I am an adopted daughter of the En family. I am twenty-four years old and I do not have a boyfriend."
After saying that, his face suddenly turned bright red.
This is infuriating! Why did you have to say you were single out of the blue?!
Xiao Yuan suppressed the laughter that wanted to escape his lips, then lowered his head.
"This is a drawing I made, it's for you." She then pulled a drawing from her pocket, which depicted her eating snacks with her eyes half-closed during the day.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, this is a memento."
“But I don’t have anything to give in return.” Bai Qingzhi was a polite child, and answered blankly while holding the painting.
"You don't need to return the gift, just grant me one request." Xiao Yuan lured Bai Qingzhi step by step into his trap.
"Can I have a hug?" Xiao Yuan then asked.
Bai Qingzhi was taken aback, but quickly realized that he must have missed his wife too much. Looking at his similar face to Mrs. Xiao, he must have reached his limit after treating her so politely for so many days.
Although she didn't know why she felt uncomfortable, Bai Qingzhi nodded earnestly.
With permission, Xiao Yuan, suppressing his trembling hands, carefully pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms.
Then I closed my eyes to control my gradually reddening eye circles.
Although he wanted to never let go of Zhizhi again, Xiao Yuan knew that he had to keep things stable today.
Bai Qingzhi could clearly feel the force exerted by the other party, as if they were trying to press her into Xiao Yuan's body.
She neither struggled nor refused, and after hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind to slowly hug Xiao Yuan back.
In an instant, Xiao Yuan could no longer hold back his tears and closed his eyes to try and calm himself down.
Bai Qingzhi heard the sob coming from the other person's throat and her eyes involuntarily reddened as well.
Xiao Yuan held her for a long time before finally letting go and gently brushing away the stray hairs from Bai Qingzhi's forehead.
His eyes were full of longing.
As night fell, Bai Qingzhi remained lost in her sadness until she returned to her bedroom.
Holding the painting Xiao Yuan had given her, Bai Qingzhi sat blankly by the bed for a long time.
Soon, the entire manor fell into slumber. As soon as Bai Qingzhi lay down, she could hear Xiao Yuan's sobbing in her ear, which made her unable to fall asleep at all.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan was sitting in his room, dressed neatly, looking at his watch. When the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, he moved like a leopard lurking in the dark.
