Han Lan remained silent throughout, until she saw Xiao Yuan personally come to pick up Bai Qingzhi, at which point a change appeared in her eyes.
Resentful yet helpless.
"Is filming finished?" Xiao Yuan asked Bai Qingzhi with a smile.
Seeing Bai Qingzhi nod, Xiao Yuan reached out and brushed a stray hair from her forehead before continuing:
"Then shall I take you to play?"
Upon hearing the word "play," Bai Qingzhi's eyes lit up, and she asked with delight where they were going.
"Let's go to Summer Island; this season is perfect there."
"You don't need to work anymore?" A few days ago, Xiao Yuan went back to deal with the things left behind by Xiao Yangjing, and was so busy that he could only sleep three or four hours a day.
"It's all taken care of. Just leave the rest to Xiao Yangjing," Xiao Yuan said nonchalantly.
The assistant in front curled his lip. The reason his boss had been working so hard recently was simply to squeeze out time to spend with Miss Bai, right?
Seeing his boss's nonchalant attitude in the rearview mirror, the assistant felt even more angry at his lack of ambition.
Right now, Miss Bai only has the boss by her side. If a second or third male lead appears in the future, President Xiao will definitely suffer because of his personality!
To secure his boss's position in his wife's heart, the assistant risked everything and spoke up once again.
"Boss, didn't you say this morning that as long as we stayed up one more night, everything would be completely resolved, and we could spend time with Miss Bai without worry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Yuan's body freeze.
"Really?" Bai Qingzhi asked, her eyes filled with heartache.
Xiao Yuan coughed awkwardly, then shifted his gaze and answered:
"No, actually there really aren't many."
He didn't say anything because he was afraid that Zhizhi would worry.
"But you haven't slept for two days. If this continues, you could easily die suddenly." The assistant's helpful advice came online again.
"Why are you so talkative? Is it because you don't want to stay in City A anymore and want to go abroad for some training?" Xiao Yuan glared at him and asked.
The assistant remained silent, but muttered something out of Xiao Yuan's sight:
"A dog bites Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."
"If he doesn't tell me, are you always going to keep it from me?" Bai Qingzhi asked, her expression displeased, her eyes wide as she grabbed Xiao Yuan's arm.
Seeing that Zhizhi seemed a little angry, Xiao Yuan felt a little anxious and hurriedly explained that he was afraid she would worry.
Bai Qingzhi sighed helplessly at his cautious demeanor, took his hand, looked into his eyes, and spoke earnestly:
"Please tell me about these things in the future, and don't lie to me anymore, okay?"
Xiao Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and he smiled as he agreed.
The two boarded the plane at noon the next day. Bai Qingzhi had chatted with Nuannuan too late the night before and was not in good spirits when she woke up in the morning.
Xiao Yuan covered her with a blanket and then let her rest her head against him.
Bai Qingzhi soon fell asleep, while Xiao Yuan looked at the company's reports on his computer.
When Bai Qingzhi woke up, they had almost arrived at their destination. As she lay there, she felt her face was wet. Looking down, she saw that she had drooled while she was asleep.
Xiao Yuan was wearing a black suit, so it wasn't very noticeable.
She wiped it off sheepishly, afraid of being discovered.
Xiao Yuan naturally sensed it, and with a helpless smile, he rubbed her head, then casually grabbed her hand to prepare to disembark.
The car was already waiting at the door. Xiao Yuan had prepared everything, and Bai Qingzhi didn't need to worry about anything.
Summer Island is located by the sea, and the environmental management here is very strict. There are very few cars on the road, so it is a true place with blue sea and sky.
Xiao Yuan took Bai Qingzhi to play around the area for two days. On the evening of the third day, Xiao Yuan suggested going to a place she had never heard of before.
It's a small island in the sea, rarely visited, but it can be found on a map.
Due to its small size and inconvenient transportation, Xia Island has never been sold.
Xiao Yuan personally drove the speedboat there, while Bai Qingzhi leaned back in her seat, comfortably enjoying the sea breeze.
The weather was exceptionally good today; at noon, the sunlight was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes.
The moment Bai Qingzhi stepped off the speedboat, she was stunned by the sight before her.
A vast forest of trees unlike any I've ever seen before, filled with the sounds of insects and birds, and even the air itself carried a fresh, natural scent.
The weeds on the ground were not tall, and they grew in a pleasing, staggered pattern with the wildflowers.
Having seen so many man-made landscapes, how could Bai Qingzhi not be surprised to see such a completely natural scene?
Xiao Yuan could tell she was very satisfied, and with a heart full of contentment, he took her hand and led her into the forest.
Only when she got closer did Bai Qingzhi discover that there was a hidden path here.
Before they left, Xiao Yuan personally checked Bai Qingzhi's clothes to make sure she wouldn't be bitten by insects before setting off.
"How did you find this place?" Bai Qingzhi asked curiously.
Xiao Yuan smiled mysteriously but did not answer.
The two walked for almost fifteen minutes before Bai Qingzhi's view gradually opened up, only to find that the scenery had changed.
The once deserted island has become incredibly beautiful, with all the plants and flowers arranged in various shapes, clearly indicating that someone is taking care of it.
Xiao Yuan then released her hand, indicating that she should go and find it herself.
Xiao Yuan said that gifts for her were hidden around the area.
Bai Qingzhi's favorite thing was finding gifts. After hearing this, her eyes lit up and she went around like a butterfly.
Xiao Yuan hadn't hidden the items very well, and Bai Qingzhi quickly found the first one: a rose.
At Xiao Yuan's signal, Bai Qingzhi continued forward in one direction, and finally, after twenty minutes, she had collected all the roses.
Bai Qingzhi kept counting in her mind: ninety-nine flowers.
Xiao Yuan smiled as he carefully wrapped up the ninety-nine flowers. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with affection.
"Zhizhi, actually, I have another purpose for bringing you here today." Xiao Yuan lowered his head, his eyes full of seriousness.
Bai Qingzhi looked at him, puzzled.
Then she saw Xiao Yuan take out a black strip of cloth from his pocket, carefully cover her eyes, and then take her hand again.
Although she couldn't see the road ahead, Xiao Yuan's hands were unusually warm, and Bai Qingzhi felt no panic at all.
After estimating that he had walked for about ten minutes, Xiao Yuan slowly stopped.
Bai Qingzhi's nose twitched slightly; she could actually smell a strong scent of roses.
The cloth strip behind her head was removed, and when Bai Qingzhi opened her eyes, she saw that she was standing in a sea of roses.
Roses bloomed all over the hillside, and there were even walls made of roses around the area.
The image above is of her; it's the first photo taken in the Xiao family garden.
What surprised her even more was that her family members were standing not far away, all smiling as they looked at the two of them.
Xiao Yuan slightly tightened his hand to draw Bai Qingzhi's attention back, and before she could react, he knelt down on one knee.
"Zhizhi, I know I'm not good enough, but I truly love you. Could you give me a chance to take good care of you?"
