When Bai Qingzhi entered, she saw that the two were very close together, and Han Lan was almost naked. He seemed flustered when he saw her come in.
"If I didn't know what kind of person Xiao Yuan was, I would have actually believed it," Bai Qingzhi thought to herself.
However, he frowned and scanned the two of them.
"What are you doing?" Bai Qingzhi raised her voice.
Xiao Yuan stood up anxiously and walked towards Bai Qingzhi.
“Zhizhi, it’s not what you see,” Xiao Yuan explained.
"What did I see? Barely clothed? Or extremely ambiguous?" Bai Qingzhi adopted the posture befitting someone who had caught someone in the act of adultery.
Seeing the two of them, Han Lan was secretly pleased.
"Miss Bai, it really isn't what you saw. I was just a little hot, so I took off my clothes. Xiao Yuan didn't do anything." Han Lan blushed as she spoke, and no one would believe her.
Bai Qingzhi remained silent, her eyes scanning the two of them.
Xiao Yuan seemed a little angry because he was suspected, and he let go of Bai Qingzhi's hand.
"I haven't done anything to wrong you." Xiao Yuan's expression turned cold.
Bai Qingzhi seemed to be provoked as well, and her voice became much sharper.
"Didn't do it? If one day I was alone in a room with another man, barely clothed, and then said this to you, would you believe me?"
"Zhizhi, can you please stop being unreasonable?" Xiao Yuan frowned and asked back.
Bai Qingzhi seemed to be provoked and pointed at herself.
"I'm being unreasonable? Fine! Xiao Yuan, you were clearly in the wrong today, but you're turning around and blaming me. Fine, I'll leave, okay?" After saying that, she pushed Xiao Yuan away and turned to leave.
The office door was slammed shut with a deafening bang.
Han Lan laughed inwardly, but showed concern on the surface as she re-fastened her clothes and walked into Xiao Yuan's room.
"Xiao Yuan, have I caused you trouble?" Han Lan asked cautiously.
Xiao Yuan lowered his head, his tone somewhat unpleasant.
"It's none of your business, she's just being too willful."
Han Lan couldn't help but smile. Xiao Yuan and Bai Qingzhi had been together for so long, and Xiao Yuan had never thought the other was willful or even said a harsh word to her. This was enough to show how powerful the spell was.
"Miss Bai has had a good life since childhood, so it's normal for her to be a bit spoiled." Han Lan's tea ceremony skills were not bad, but Xiao Yuan wanted to sew her mouth shut as he heard it.
There's nothing wrong with my own childishness. Let alone my current kind personality, even if I were to act unreasonably, Xiao Yuan wouldn't care.
Isn't this a sign of loving him?
"Go back and tell President Han that I won't see you off today." Xiao Yuan said, then looked up, his expression well-controlled.
Han Lan had achieved her goal for the day and gained even more, so she naturally wouldn't refute Xiao Yuan's words and nodded obediently in agreement.
"I'm a pretty good cook, can I make you some soup when I come over tomorrow?" Han Lan asked with an expectant expression.
Xiao Yuan finally nodded.
Han Lan felt like she was about to faint, but Xiao Yuan didn't refuse her!
He left in high spirits, and only after he could no longer see her figure did Xiao Yuan pick up his phone and dial Bai Qingzhi's number.
Bai Qingzhi had already arrived at the milk tea shop downstairs. She ordered her favorite drink and answered Xiao Yuan's call with a smile in her eyes.
"Brother Yuan, how was my acting? Was it very realistic?" Bai Qingzhi asked, looking for praise.
Xiao Yuan laughed too, but his tone was full of grievance.
"Zhizhi, I'm starting to regret it. Can we try a different approach? I just can't pretend to like Han Lan."
Especially when the other person shows a shy expression, he feels like hitting them directly.
Bai Qingzhi naturally knew what he was thinking. After glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, she spoke softly:
"I'll go back and comfort you in a bit, sweetie!"
After chatting for a while, Bai Qingzhi ordered a coffee and went back to Zhiyuan Company.
The shop was not far from Zhiyuan Company, just across the road. Bai Qingzhi was walking along the road in a good mood when suddenly a car rushed out from the side road.
This road is a one-way street, and cars never usually come here.
The driver was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless, and the car was going incredibly fast. Bai Qingzhi didn't have time to dodge.
A screeching sound came from the tires scraping across the road, spilling a cup of coffee directly in the middle of the road.
Xiao Yuan knew that Bai Qingzhi was coming to find him, so he waited by the window.
His office was on the thirtieth floor, and Xiao Yuan had specially prepared a telescope so he could see clearly below.
So Xiao Yuan witnessed the entire process, from when Bai Qingzhi came out of the store carrying coffee to when the out-of-control car rushed towards her.
His eyes widened suddenly, and Xiao Yuan dropped the binoculars and rushed outside without a second thought.
"Zhizhi!" Xiao Yuan shouted, waking Bai Qingzhi, who was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
Just at the critical moment, the car suddenly changed direction and crashed into a tree next to it, instantly deforming the entire front and leaving a deep dent.
The driver, who was unconscious, remains in critical condition.
Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's shout, Bai Qingzhi turned her head in a daze.
Xiao Yuan felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart that made it hard to breathe. His child's perpetually smiling eyes were now dull and lifeless, clearly showing signs of being terrified.
“Yuan… Brother…” Bai Qingzhi felt her hands trembling.
Xiao Yuan rushed over at almost the fastest speed he had ever traveled; he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.
Xiao Yuan pulled Bai Qingzhi into his arms, his eyes reddening.
With trembling hands, Xiao Yuan stroked Bai Qingzhi's hair again and again, burying his head deeply into her neck.
Soon, Bai Qingzhi felt a slight dampness on her neck.
"Hmm..." Suddenly, Bai Qingzhi let out a painful groan, which startled Xiao Yuan, who immediately looked up and asked her with red eyes where she was hurt.
Bai Qingzhi shook her head and reached out to take out the amulet that her elder brother had given her that day.
However, the amulet had already spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes, and the muffled groan just now was caused by Bai Qingzhi being burned.
The two exchanged a glance, and in that instant, Xiao Yuan realized that today was probably not a simple accident.
The police and ambulance arrived quickly, and in the afternoon, news came back from the hospital that the driver had died.
However, the cause of death was somewhat strange; it was not caused by a car accident.
Instead, he had already stopped breathing before the car accident.
The autopsy results were also somewhat unusual. There was no sudden illness, excessive fatigue, or excessive drinking; the person simply lost consciousness in an instant.
Furthermore, this driver is a very hardworking person, and he is consistently praised by outsiders.
Although Bai Qingzhi wasn't hit, she still went to the hospital for a full check-up, and everyone was relieved to confirm that she really wasn't injured at all.
