Bai Fan paused for a moment, then continued wiping.
“I’m not like you. Qingzhi is so cute, she should stay at home clean and tidy.” Bai Fan’s tone was flat, as if it were just what he thought.
Bai Qingzhi's mind stirred slightly. She grabbed Bai Fan's hand and said with a smile:
"Cousin, I need to talk to you. Shall we find somewhere?"
Bai Fang's eyes widened, and he realized that Bai Qingzhi had probably come here specifically to wait for him.
Thinking about the recent events involving the Bai family, Bai Fan already had a clear understanding of the situation.
The two found a milk tea shop nearby. Bai Qingzhi ordered a sundae for herself, and Bai Fan ordered a cappuccino.
"Does Kiyoshi like sweets?"
"Generally, I don't like things too sweet, but this level of sweetness is just right." Bai Qingzhi took a bite and then squinted her eyes happily.
After swallowing, Bai Qingzhi continued speaking:
"Life is already tough enough, why make things harder on your taste buds?"
Bai Fan looked down at the cappuccino in front of him, then gave a wry smile and said:
Not everyone lives a happy life.
Bai Qingzhi lowered her head slightly, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment.
"However, whether we are happy or not, isn't it still up to us to fight for it?"
Suddenly, Bai Qingzhi raised her head, her eyes bright, and asked in return.
Bai Fan's eyes widened in surprise, then he froze for a moment.
“Cousin, I met several aunties at a banquet with my mother a few days ago. Although their families are not as wealthy as the Bai family, they are still considered well-off in the city. Moreover, their families are harmonious, and their children are all well-behaved.”
This is the list that Bai's mother gave to Bai Qingzhi this morning; it's also the list of suitable candidates that Bai Qinghuan found for Bai Fan.
Among them was the man she married in her previous life.
Bai Fan felt his heart pounding wildly, and he gritted his teeth to suppress the trembling in his heart.
"You mean... you want to set me up on a blind date?" Bai Fan asked.
Bai Qingzhi smiled but didn't answer. She simply took out her phone, found photos of several men, and handed them to Bai Fan.
"Let's see if there's anything we like. Mom will treat us then."
Looking at the phone, Bai Fan scrolled through a piece of paper, and Bai Qingzhi noticed that she lingered on one of the papers for a few extra seconds.
"This is the youngest son of a fisherman in City A. He has no bad habits, is a bit introverted, and has never been in a relationship. Although the family is now managed by his older brother, the two are siblings and have a very good relationship."
Bai Qingzhi revealed the man's information.
However, I was also curious as to why my sister had asked me to write down this man's information.
“His parents have retired and are enjoying their retirement. They gave him a portion of the family business, and he receives a dividend every year. He has also started his own small company, which is not large but has good prospects,” Bai Qingzhi continued.
Bai Fan was deeply moved; she felt at first sight that the man was her soulmate.
But she also knew that there's no such thing as a free lunch, so she suppressed her thoughts, looked up at Bai Qingzhi, and asked:
"What are your terms? To be honest, I'm very tempted, but you should know my situation at home; I have no say in the matter of shares."
Bai Fan was still self-aware.
Bai Qingzhi smiled even more brightly; she loved chatting with intelligent people.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I just want to know what Uncle San is really thinking, or rather, whether Uncle San is planning to join forces with Uncle Er."
This is not an unreasonable question.
Bai Fan pondered for a while, then looked at the photos on his phone again.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand my dad's thoughts, but for now I know that he probably has no intention of cooperating with my second uncle. However, my second uncle has been contacting him and has offered some benefits. I once overheard him talking to my mother and saying that what my second uncle offered was not worth the risk."
Everything Bai Fan said was true.
Bai Qingzhi smiled even more happily, and after hearing the answer, she ate the rest of the sundae.
"Thank you for the news, cousin. I'll go home now and tell my mom about the arrangements. If it's suitable, I'll be looking forward to attending your wedding."
Watching Bai Qingzhi's departing figure, Bai Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Dad, Bai Qingzhi is looking for me." Bai Fan answered the phone, speaking calmly.
After hearing what was said on the other end, Bai Fan agreed, then hung up the phone, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Bai Qingzhi, who had just walked away, returned through the back door at some point and overheard Bai Fan's words from the chair hidden behind her.
Then they would leave quietly.
Standing on the street, Bai Qingzhi looked up at the sun in the sky and was so blinded by its light that she couldn't open her eyes.
Just then, a car stopped beside her, the window rolled down, revealing Liu Chenghan's face.
"You can come out now?" Bai Qingzhi asked in surprise.
Liu Chenghan chuckled, then replied helplessly:
"I didn't go in, so why can't I come out?"
Bai Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Liu Chenghan with even greater surprise.
When did he learn to speak so humorously?
Liu Chenghan got out of the car, then opened the back door, and a large bouquet of roses appeared before Bai Qingzhi's eyes.
"Qingzhi, today I want to tell you very seriously that I like you."
Bai Qingzhi was somewhat taken aback by Liu Chenghan's sudden confession.
"I know you don't like me yet, but please don't rush to reject me. At least give me a chance to prove myself," Liu Chenghan said earnestly.
"I just feel a little surprised." Bai Qingzhi smiled slightly and did not accept the bouquet of roses.
Although she didn't know what liking someone felt like, she was certain that she didn't have romantic feelings for Liu Chenghan.
"Then let's remain friends for now?" Liu Chenghan asked Bai Qingzhi with a worried look on his face.
Bai Qingzhi nodded and replied, "Of course."
"Then may I invite the beautiful Miss Bai to come to A University with me?" Liu Chenghan asked, squatting down in a gentlemanly manner and extending his hand.
Bai Qingzhi raised an eyebrow. A University?
Perfect timing, she also needs to go back and organize her graduation materials.
Although Bai Qingzhi is only a freshman, she has already completed all her courses. Rather than staying in school, she might as well pursue her dreams.
I haven't seen Nuannuan for a long time either; the two of them have been keeping in touch via their phones lately.
Bai Qingzhi got into the car with a smile, and Liu Chenghan personally closed the car door for her. Then he started the car and slowly drove towards A University.
On the way, Bai Qingzhi learned that Liu Chenghan was going back to give a speech as an outstanding graduate of A University.
"So, I guess I'm your senior in school?" Liu Chenghan said with a smile.
"Yes, I didn't expect my senior brother to be so amazing. He was invited back to give a speech to inspire students at such a young age. I must learn from him in the future," Bai Qingzhi replied playfully.
As a prestigious university in the country, every speaker at A University is a hidden gem, and as far as she knows, Liu Chenghan is the youngest among those who have returned to give speeches.
When Bai Qingzhi arrived at the school gate, she realized that Liu Chenghan wasn't the only one who had returned that afternoon.
