Not quite understanding what this meant, Bai Qingzhi tilted her head and looked at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan affectionately patted her head and then said:
"Once I finish this phase, I'll take you out to play."
Bai Qingzhi smiled and nodded, then took his hand and started chattering away.
After having dinner together that evening, Xiao Yuan drove Bai Qingzhi back home and watched her enter the house before driving away.
Xiao Yuan waited until the Bai family villa was out of sight before slowly stopping the car. He looked at the dark night outside, his eyes filled with contemplation.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed his assistant's number.
"Is it still possible to meet up at the resort?"
The assistant rolled his eyes; he had guessed this day would come.
The assistant felt a wave of embarrassment when he recalled how Xiao Yuan had coldly and arrogantly told him to cancel his stay at the resort.
Yeah, right, what a load of bull!
"Boss, you know that when I asked you last month, you had already cancelled it..." The assistant deliberately made his tone awkward.
If not now, when will we ever get the chance to rip off our boss?
As expected, Xiao Yuan replied directly after hearing this:
"I don't care what method you use, as long as you get the three-month bonus, or else you can prepare to be exiled to the frontier!"
The assistant rolled her eyes even more.
However, he kept saying he would guarantee to complete the mission.
After hanging up the phone, the assistant laughed loudly a few times. He had always been the one being exploited; when had he ever felt so comfortable as he did today?
I shook my head and contacted the resort. It wasn't time yet, and they had kept the place in excellent condition.
They dragged it out until the next morning, and only after Xiao Yuan's repeated urging did the assistant say that the matter had finally been completed after a great deal of effort.
The bonus was awarded quickly, and the assistant beamed with joy. He generously treated everyone in the office to milk tea with the bonus.
That afternoon, the assistant was sent to the villa to make preparations, while Xiao Yuan drove to the Bai family the next morning to pick up Bai Qingzhi.
Knowing she was going out today, Bai Qingzhi got up early and even put on light makeup.
She wasn't wearing a skirt, but rather a tracksuit. The first thing Xiao Yuan felt when he saw her was that he felt even more guilty.
The main problem is that Zhizhi looks so young, making me feel like a weird uncle.
I took out my phone and subtly looked at myself in the mirror, only putting it down after confirming that I didn't look that old.
Naturally, she took Bai Qingzhi's hand, but before they even reached the door, they bumped into the person coming in.
Bai Qingze's buttocks have improved a lot, but he still walks with a limp.
"You guys want to go out and have fun?" Bai Qingze looked at the two of them, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You've been released?" Bai Qingzhi was even more surprised.
Bai Qingze reached out and pinched her cheek.
"What? You're not happy that your second brother is out?" Bai Qingze asked, grinning.
Xiao Yuan stood aside, coldly watching Bai Qingze's actions, pondering how to make his move without seeming abrupt.
Noticing the ornament behind Bai Qingze out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Yuan suddenly spoke up.
"Uncle, why are you back?"
As soon as Xiao Yuan finished speaking, Bai Qingze turned around, but before he could react, he felt something bump into his butt.
In an instant, pain struck, and Bai Qingze yelled and jumped forward.
Before he could even confront the person behind him while clutching his backside, the decorative item next to him began to sway precariously.
"Second Brother, this is the thing Dad touches every day!" Bai Qingzhi exclaimed, reaching out to help.
Mr. Bai has had the habit of touching this ornament before going out for more than ten years. According to him, he has developed an attachment to it and feels restless if he doesn't touch it every day.
Before Bai Qingzhi could even reach the ornament, Xiao Yuan pulled her back.
Bai Qingze didn't care about his own backside at this moment, and hurriedly tried to catch the ornament, but unfortunately, he was too late.
With a loud snap, the entire room fell silent.
Bai Qingze felt his heart was about to stop. With trembling hands, he carefully lifted the ornament and then grinned at it.
Sure enough, a crack appeared on it...
A thousand thoughts raced through my mind in an instant. If Dad found out, it wouldn't just be his backside that got a beating.
If you don't run now, when will you?
Bai Qingze stood there, clutching the ornament, and made up his mind to run away.
"Uncle, you're back?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
"Still trying to fool me! My dad is having a great time right now, how could he possibly be coming back!" Bai Qingze retorted loudly.
"Dad..." Bai Qingzhi looked at her with sympathy and pointed to the back of her second brother.
Bai Qingze froze on the spot for a moment.
The machine turned its head and indeed saw its dark-faced father.
Why didn't he hear the door open?
The father's gaze shifted from his son's face to his arms, and then he saw that his beloved ornament had cracked!
In an instant, he was filled with rage and swiftly untied his Seven Wolves sword.
"Dad, let me explain!" Bai Qingze howled, and suddenly he no longer felt the pain in his buttocks, and started running around the house at lightning speed.
But it was clear that Bai's father was more skilled; the seven wolves he wielded were powerful and their blows made a loud cracking sound as they struck Bai Qingze.
Bai Qingzhi swallowed hard in fear, then quietly hid behind Xiao Yuan.
When Bai's father was tired from beating, Xiao Yuan stepped forward and brought him some water.
"Uncle, I'm sure Qingze didn't do it on purpose. Please don't take it to heart. Besides, it's not worth getting upset over something so trivial."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingze gritted his teeth and glared at Xiao Yuan.
That bastard tricked him!
If he hadn't deliberately lied to his father about coming back, how could he have turned around? Presumably, the person who bumped into him just now was Xiao Yuan.
Thinking about how he had been tricked like this before, and how he had fallen for it again this time, Bai Qingze wanted to slap himself twice.
That's incredibly stupid.
Bai Qingzhi finally understood that Xiao Yuan was probably seeking revenge for her...
Bai Qingzhi glanced at her second brother with sympathy, indicating that she was also powerless to help.
Bai's father was still holding the ornament and sighing when Xiao Yuan took the initiative to sit down next to him and then took out a photo from his phone.
“Uncle, I took this picture from abroad and thought I would give it to you as a gift. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Bai's father looked over and couldn't look away once he saw him.
She hadn't even had time to hide the heartache on her face from the broken ornament.
After taking the phone and examining it carefully for a long time, Mr. Bai suddenly laughed.
"I can't accept this. These must have been quite expensive to buy at the auction, right? If it's not too much, I'll transfer the money to you."
Bai Qingze couldn't help but mutter something when he saw his father's hypocritical face:
"Just say you want it! Do you really think anyone can't tell?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cushion flew over.
Bai Qingze dodged in time, and just as he was about to make a peace sign, he looked up and saw the terrifying look in his father's eyes.
"I was wrong." Bai Qingze admitted his mistake in time and then squatted down next to the sofa.
