Xiao Yuan looked at her face and realized that this young girl definitely had something to ask him.
He waited patiently, and only asked what was wrong after Bai Qingzhi had finished agonizing over the matter.
"I mean, what if... what if... a woman got pregnant with your Xiao family's child and ran away? What would you do to her if you caught her?" Bai Qingzhi's voice was even softer, afraid that Xiao Yangjing would hear her.
Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, instinctively wanting to answer that he would definitely capture them and beat them up.
But seeing Bai Qingzhi's furtive appearance, he became suspicious.
He was certain that such a situation wouldn't exist outside, so the only remaining possibility for the Xiao family was Xiao Yangjing, his adopted younger brother.
Then, recalling the incident between Xiao Yangjing and Lin Nuannuan in the previous period, a guess formed in her mind.
My thoughts raced through several circles, but only two seconds had passed in reality.
"No woman will get pregnant with my child without my consent," Xiao Yuan said, clearing himself of any wrongdoing.
“However, my parents still love their child very much. Since that woman was able to run away, it must be because my brother hurt her feelings, so he deserves it,” Xiao Yuan continued.
"I didn't say it was Xiao Yangjing," Bai Qingzhi hurriedly said, her voice unconsciously rising a little.
Just then, Xiao Yangjing looked over, and she immediately shrank back, feeling even more guilty.
"Okay, it really is him." Bai Qingzhi gave up; she really wasn't suited to lying.
"That girl, Lin Nuannuan?" Xiao Yuan was not surprised at all.
Bai Qingzhi's eyes widened in surprise. How did he know everything?
However, she quickly and readily admitted that her initial purpose today was to seek Xiao Yuan's help.
Listening to Bai Qingzhi's description, Xiao Yuan realized that his younger brother was indeed a terrible person.
Upon hearing that Lin Nuannuan wanted to leave, he immediately nodded in agreement.
"You really agree? That's a child of the Xiao family. Xiao Yangjing will get married in the future. Isn't that an illegitimate child?" Bai Qingzhi repeatedly confirmed.
Xiao Yuan glanced at his still-irritable younger brother, then answered decisively:
He won't get married.
Even now, this foolish younger brother still hasn't figured out his own heart.
Then let him grow up a bit.
“I have a friend who owns an island in Lagos. It’s a great place to have a baby. The facilities there are very advanced, so you don’t have to worry about any accidents,” Xiao Yuan suggested directly.
The two quickly reached an agreement, and Xiao Yuan made the arrangements that very day.
Xiao Yangjing was unaware that his brother's involvement had made his romantic journey much more difficult.
On the day Lin Nuannuan left, Bai Qingzhi and Xiao Yuan personally saw her off at the airport. At first, Lin Nuannuan looked at Xiao Yuan warily, but with Bai Qingzhi's assurance, she gradually lowered her guard.
Qingzhi would never harm her.
Looking at Bai Qingzhi, who trusted him so much, Xiao Yuan's eyes softened, and he told himself that Lin Nuannuan had to keep the baby no matter what.
Since Zhizhi chose to tell him this among all the others, he wouldn't let her down.
The plane took off and eventually became a black dot disappearing into the horizon.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yangjing, unable to suppress his frustration any longer, finally arrived at the Lin family after much wandering.
But someone told him that the house had been sold!
Xiao Yangjing was stunned, but panic followed.
When Xiao Yangjing couldn't contact Lin Nuannuan through any means, he got angry and blocked her contact information.
So what if he disappears? He doesn't care!
Even so, he felt even more irritable.
Xiao Yuan was unaware of his younger brother's situation; all he knew at that moment was that he would have another opportunity to be alone with his beloved.
Ever since Zhizhi went to the company and sat there for two hours, Xiao Yuan realized that his office was a bit boring.
This phase involved a complete overhaul.
So when Bai Qingzhi saw it, she thought she had gone to the wrong place.
Unlike the solemn decor outside, Xiao Yuan's office exudes a princess-like fantasy.
Looking at the pink curtains hanging above and the various cartoon ornaments, along with the overall strong girlish style, Xiao Yuan seemed particularly out of place sitting in it.
He seems like a pervert.
"There's more in here, see if you like it." Xiao Yuan opened the door to the lounge as if presenting a treasure, revealing a gaming room and furnishings similar to her bedroom.
If it weren't for the different furniture, Bai Qingzhi would have thought he had moved his own bedroom over.
“I also found some materials inside, which you should be able to use when you are creating.” After saying that, Xiao Yuan led Bai Qingzhi toward the rest room.
When Bai Qingzhi saw the documents on the table, she was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.
Teacher Henry is a master in the jewelry industry. It's usually difficult to even meet him, let alone get information written by him personally!
"He just happened to owe my friend a favor, so I simply used it to pay off the debt," Xiao Yuan said with a nonchalant smile.
Bai Qingzhi was deeply moved. Although he made it sound easy, Henry's temper was notoriously eccentric, so it couldn't be that simple.
Suddenly remembering something, Bai Qingzhi looked at Xiao Yuan seriously and said:
"Brother Yuan, I have a gift for you."
Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he waited eagerly.
"But the gift isn't with me yet; it'll be back in a week." Bai Qingzhi said somewhat awkwardly, fidgeting with her fingers.
Xiao Yuan laughed heartily, then vigorously rubbed her head and said, "No rush."
He went out to work again, and Bai Qingzhi stayed in the break room looking at the documents. For a moment, everything was peaceful and serene.
Just as Bai Qingzhi was concentrating, she heard the door to Xiao Yuan's office being slammed open.
Immediately following was a man's roaring question.
"Xiao Yuan, what do you mean?" The man's voice was loud, causing Bai Qingzhi to stop what she was doing.
Xiao Yuan's eyes turned cold as he looked at the puppet that the old man had just promoted.
"You entered my office without my permission. Shouldn't I be the one asking you what you mean by that?" Xiao Yuan's tone was icy.
The man showed no fear whatsoever.
"You've teamed up with Bai Qinghuai to suppress the Xiao family's shares. What are your true intentions?"
Bai Qingzhi's brows furrowed as well.
Have Xiao Yuan and his elder brother joined forces?
"I've already handed over half of the Xiao family's shares. What else do you want?" Xiao Yuan leaned back in his chair, looking at him coldly as he asked.
"This time I'm just selling off some of my remaining shares. Compared to other options, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with that, does it?"
"Then why did you deliberately give up the bid for the East City site and let the Bai family have it? Isn't that betraying your own people?" The man did not back down at all and continued to question angrily.
Bai Qingzhi frowned even more deeply. Their family's business had no competitive relationship with the Xiao family.
“The Bai family wants to enter the real estate industry now. Even if I have a good relationship with Bai Qinghuai, I can’t stop them, can I? Besides, they’re competing fairly.” Xiao Yuan waved his hand and replied.
He knew that his grandfather was definitely talking to the man at that moment, listening to what he was saying.
The men were clearly speechless; today's events were based on their own speculation, without any evidence whatsoever.
