Bai Qingzhi's voice wasn't loud, but Xiao Yuan still heard it.
"Zhizhi, what did you say?" Xiao Yuan hoped to hear it again.
Bai Qingzhi didn't speak. Just when Xiao Yuan thought she wouldn't say anything more, he saw Bai Qingzhi take a deep breath.
"Xiao Yuan, I love you! Bai Qingzhi loves Xiao Yuan!!!"
The sound was enormous, echoing throughout the entire lakeside.
Because of the fireworks, many people came out to watch the excitement. When they heard Bai Qingzhi's shout, they all looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces.
It wasn't a mocking laugh, but a friendly one.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Xiao Yuan pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms and then kissed her passionately.
Gradually, the sound of applause came from the side, and Xiao Yuan then released Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qingzhi felt so ashamed that she buried her head in Xiao Yuan's arms, her face flushed red.
Xiao Yuan affectionately patted her head and smiled as he thanked the people around him for their blessings.
Even after returning to her room, Bai Qingzhi's blush hadn't faded.
Without a word, he went straight into the bedroom and then shut the door on Xiao Yuan, who was following behind him.
Xiao Yuan stopped in his tracks and touched his nose.
He almost thought the door was going to hit him in the face...
Radiating happiness, Xiao Yuan returned to his room with light steps, lay down and thought for a while, then took out his phone and schedule.
After changing the three-month business trip schedule for his special assistant to one month, Xiao Yuan stopped paying attention and put down his phone to rest.
Meanwhile, the special assistant, who was suffering terribly in India, looked at the sky with utter despair.
Even though it's already dark, the temperature is still over 30 degrees Celsius, and he can feel that he's gotten several shades darker in the few days he's been here.
In addition, he really couldn't adapt to the local customs and culture, and the assistant felt that every day was like a year.
Suddenly, the phone vibrated. Curious, the assistant opened it and saw an unread message on the worksheet.
I opened it with a blank expression, but because the internet connection was so bad, the interface kept spinning.
Frustrated, he raised his phone as if to smash it, but in the end, the assistant sighed and put it down.
The bonus isn't so easy to spend; if it gets broken, you'll have to buy a new one...
After several attempts, the interface finally opened, and the assistant saw that the original three-month period had been changed to one month.
"As expected, the boss still loves me!" the assistant shouted excitedly. Instantly, his mood calmed down, the temperature dropped, and even the Indians he had disliked during the day became more agreeable.
"Being dark-skinned is fine too, it's healthy." The assistant chuckled foolishly, touched his face, and muttered to himself as he watched the page disappear again.
When Bai Qingzhi woke up the next day, Xiao Yuan was already busy in the kitchen. He had barely slept a wink the night before, and every time he closed his eyes, he saw Qingzhi loudly proclaiming her love for him.
Just thinking about this scene made Xiao Yuan's lips curl up involuntarily, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.
Yesterday, Zhizhi ate quite a lot. When he came back, he found that she had eaten some snacks. Xiao Yuan was afraid that she would have indigestion, so he made her some simple food in the morning.
As soon as Bai Qingzhi finished washing up and opened the door, she smelled a wonderful aroma, her stomach rumbled, she sniffed hard, and then ran over.
A bowl of fragrant thin noodles.
"Try it." Xiao Yuan rolled up her sleeves and handed her the chopsticks.
Bai Qingzhi took a bite, then squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
Excitedly giving a thumbs-up, Bai Qingzhi ate a small portion of it in just a few bites.
"Eat slowly, there's more." Xiao Yuan patted her head affectionately.
"You're so busy, how do you still have time to learn to cook?" Bai Qingzhi asked curiously.
Xiao Yuan cooked for Bai Qingzhi several times, and each time it suited her taste perfectly. She even thought that the food he made was much tastier than what the chef at home would make.
“I was raised to be the family heir from a young age, so my family told me from childhood to be independent and strong. In order to toughen me up, I was sent to a faraway place from elementary school onwards, and I had to take care of my own food, clothing, and shelter.” Xiao Yuan began to speak slowly with a smile on his lips.
"I remember I wasn't even as tall as the stove back then, and I couldn't reach the cooking utensils, so I had to stand on a chair. At first, I was afraid of thunder, but I had to get used to it later."
As he spoke, Bai Qingzhi's chopsticks moved slower and slower, her eyes filled with heartache.
"It's nothing really, I've only been getting used to it for a few days. I actually prefer this kind of life now." Xiao Yuan saw through Bai Qingzhi's thoughts and comforted her with a nonchalant smile.
"Brother Yuan, you're so pitiful." Bai Qingzhi frowned deeply and stepped forward to hug his waist.
Xiao Yuan's smile widened; he knew that his child was the kindest.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Besides, you're here with me now!" Xiao Yuan said, but his tone was full of heartache.
Bai Qingzhi felt even more heartache in an instant.
"I will definitely treat you well in the future!" Bai Qingzhi said firmly.
"Okay, if you don't want me either, then I really won't have anyone to care about me." Xiao Yuan looked aggrieved.
With Bai Qingzhi feeling extremely sorry for them, the two finished breakfast. Even after they left, Bai Qingzhi kept asking about their well-being.
Xiao Yuan felt satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. He would occasionally bring up things from his childhood, which made Zhi Zhi feel even more sorry for him.
The resort was bathed in sunshine in the morning. The road was lined with sycamore trees, and as we walked under their shade, the sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting dappled shadows on the two of us.
Bai Qingzhi held Xiao Yuan's hand the whole time, and the two of them, like those old people, enjoyed a rare moment of tranquility.
But this tranquility was soon broken.
"Miss Bai!" A male voice called out, and Bai Qingzhi stopped in her tracks out of curiosity. She and Xiao Yuan turned around to see who it was.
Upon seeing the man's face, Bai Qingzhi frowned. Their last meeting had been quite unpleasant, and she genuinely didn't know why he had called her.
"Mr. Han." Bai Qingzhi nodded and greeted him, her expression composed.
The person who arrived was Han Yuan.
He was badly beaten by Bai Qingze last time and spent more than half a month in the hospital. At that time, his company was going to sue Bai Qingze, but in the end, for some reason, they dropped the case.
"You guys come and rest too." Han Yuan said with a smile, but he didn't look that happy.
Xiao Yuan stood silently behind Bai Qingzhi, looking at Han Yuan.
Bai Qingzhi really didn't know what to say to him. Just as she was about to take her leave, she saw a conflicted expression on Han Yuan's face.
Seemingly having made up his mind, Han Yuan finally spoke.
"Miss Bai, do you have Ou Yiyi's contact information?"
Bai Qingzhi was surprised and wondered what this meant.
Han Yuan seemed to sense her confusion and explained with a wry smile:
"She deleted all my contact information, and she avoids me when I try to find her."
