Chapter 81 Choice
Bai He drove to the entrance of Hengyue Building in the business district. She had heard Qi Lang introduce the company building before. It was a unique high-rise building with modern aesthetics designed by internationally renowned architect Ande. The glass mirrored space had a staggered visual effect, and it was a landmark building from a distance.
She parked the car in front of the gate of Hengyue Building. As soon as she stepped on the brakes, a security guard came over.
Seeing the car, the security guard thought it was a company customer, so he walked over respectfully. Unexpectedly, when the car window opened, there was a girl wearing a T-shirt and looking like a student.
He still politely reminded her: "Ma'am, you can't park at the door."
"Oh, then can I park in the building's parking lot?"
"No, the parking lot is not open to the public."
"I've driven around here and there's no parking space. The other buildings won't let me park either," Bai He pleaded. "Isn't it possible to park even if I know someone at the company?"
"That's not possible." The security guard looked her over. She was so young and beautiful, he guessed it was her boyfriend who worked in the building. "The company doesn't have a policy regarding parking for family members. You'll have to find another place."
"Let me call and ask first."
After saying that, Bai He took out his cell phone and called Qi Lang.
In the conference room, Qi Lang's phone rang. He was about to hang up when he saw the caller ID was Lily. He immediately raised his hand, stopped the meeting, and pressed the answer button: "What's the matter?"
"Xiao Qi, where can I park near your company? The surrounding commercial office buildings don't allow external parking, and the nearest shopping mall is very far away."
"You're here?" Qi Lang stood up immediately. "You can park anywhere you want, in the parking lot, downstairs, at the gate, whatever you want."
"No, the security won't let me."
"Call him and I'll tell him."
Bai He handed the phone to the security guard, who thought to himself, "Even if you give it to me, it's not okay. Rules are rules..."
He picked up the phone: "No matter who says it, it's not allowed. The company's regulations..."
Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he was sweating profusely. "Qi... Mr. Qi, you are Mr. Qi, I... I..."
In his position, he had only seen him coming and going, but he was not at the stage where he could speak to this gentleman. He was so nervous that his tongue was tied. "Okay, I understand. I will let him pass now."
He held the phone with both hands and handed it to Bai He: "Miss Bai, why didn't you tell me that your boyfriend is Mr. Qi? If you had told me earlier, I... I would have stopped you. If you did that, I would have lost my job."
Bai He smiled and said, "Don't worry, you just did your job diligently. How could you lose your job?"
"You really should have said so sooner."
"I didn't know his words were so effective."
"You must be joking! He's Mr. Qi! The entire company belongs to him..."
"Excuse me, can I come in now?"
"Come in, come in! I'll help you park your car in the parking lot."
Bai He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you. I'll stop by myself. Just let me go."
"good."
Bai He started the engine and drove the car into the underground garage. After parking, she took the elevator to the first floor of Hengyue Building. When the elevator opened, she saw Qi Lang in a suit and tie, standing in the lobby with a black metal cane.
His suit was well-tailored, making his back look tall and straight. As he stood there, many employees passing by became nervous, especially those with social anxiety, who came over to greet him awkwardly.
Bai He called out to him in the elevator: "Xiao Qi!"
After hearing this shout, the entire place fell silent the moment Qi Lang turned around.
The people around watched in disbelief as Qi Lang walked towards the elevator step by step with his cane.
Xiao Qi?!
Mr. Qi, the stern and cold man, is actually called Xiao Qi!
Who is this girl?
Bai He also noticed the strange atmosphere around her. She dug her toes into the ground, pressed the elevator door button, and waved to him, asking him to get in quickly.
Unfortunately, this gentleman's legs were not very good, so he walked very slowly and tried very hard to walk towards her...
She was forced to endure the surprised, stunned, curious... gazes of everyone around her, and her face turned red.
Finally, when Qi Lang walked into the elevator, she quickly pressed the door close button and breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Lang said, "I'm waiting for you on the first floor. Why are you in the elevator?"
"I'm going to park in the parking lot on the first floor below ground level."
"Didn't you ask someone to stop for you?"
"I'm driving Ah Yi's car. He's a mysophobe and doesn't like anyone touching his things, especially his car. If someone else were to drive, he'd go to the trouble of disinfecting the entire car."
Qi Lang glanced at her and said with a hint of bitterness, "I've never seen you be so considerate to me."
"No?"
"I'm in such a state of inconvenience, yet you still made me wait for you downstairs for so long."
"Because... my driving skills are not good, and it took me a long time to reverse." Bai He was a little embarrassed. "I didn't ask you to wait for me. I was going to go upstairs to find you."
"The company is huge, and I'm afraid you'll get lost."
"So, you can't blame me for being inconsiderate."
"Yes, it's me. I always want to be considerate of you." After saying that, he took her hand and held her in his hot palm.
Bai He's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse.
It should be him, it is him.
The person she had loved since childhood, even though they later broke up, it was not because she didn't love him, but because she had no choice.
He had narrowly escaped death and returned home, so how could Bai He not accept him and not want him...
Realizing that she didn't resist, Qi Lang held her tighter. This time, he would never let go.
He leaned over and kissed her ear from behind: "Thank you."
"Say thank you."
"I will treat you well, forever."
"Seven, you have always been very good to me..."
Bai He's cheeks and ears were burning, "Why is your company's elevator taking so long and still not arriving?"
Qi Lang said: "Because you didn't press the floor."
Bai He:? ?
She pressed the floor button casually, but there was no response: "Why is there no movement?"
“Because you need to swipe your card.”
"Kale?"
"Usually, someone else swipes the card for me." He looked calm, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with the current situation.
Bai He: ...
She had no choice but to reopen the elevator door. A large group of employees had already gathered by the door, staring curiously at the elevator that had been silent on the first floor for five whole minutes, and countless strange scenes were probably running through their minds.
The elevator door opened, and Bai He met those gossipy eyes.
My back is sweating.
The key point is that Qi Lang still held her hand and didn't let go.
Qi Lang said, "Can someone help me swipe the card?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it." A man quickly volunteered to enter the elevator, swiped the card for the president with a smile, politely pressed the floor number for them, and then sensibly exited the elevator.
Bai He: "So what were you doing just now?"
Qi Lang: "When I'm with you, I always do stupid things."
"You are obviously stupid, yet you blame me."
The elevator door opened and he took her to the floor where he worked. "Want to take a tour? I'll show you."
"No, I'm so tired. I just visited Yanyi's hospital and bought a lot of things at the mall this afternoon. I still have time but I don't know where to go. I thought your company is nearby, so I came here to wait for you to have lunch together after get off work."
"Then take a break and I'll take you to my living room."
"Just go to the office. I want to see you work."
"Want to watch me work?"
"Yeah." Bai He saw that everyone around them was looking at them sideways. She let go of his hand and just held his sleeve. "You go about your business. Don't worry about me. Just pretend I don't exist."
"Alright."
When passing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, Bai He saw that everyone in the conference room seemed to have pressed the pause button, all staring at them in the corridor with curious eyes.
"Why are they like this?"
Qi Lang: "Because they are waiting for me to have a meeting."
"Then why don't you go!"
Qi Lang took Bai He into the meeting room and said to the people around him, "My girlfriend is here to see me. Don't worry about her. Let's continue the meeting."
The supervisor who was standing in front of the PPT and giving a report with the document in his hand had no idea where he was at. Like everyone else, his eyes were fixed on Bai He with curiosity.
girlfriend!
Mr. Qi already has a girlfriend, oh my god!
Everyone knows that this gentleman is not interested in women and is devoted to his work. He usually won't even look at the most beautiful female employees in the company twice, as if it was not his leg that was injured in Vietnam, but his... Even in the usual peripheral parties in nightclubs, several bosses are surrounded by beautiful women, but he is the only one sitting alone and drinking. There are many women who want to be with this gentleman, but he is colder than an iceberg and sends them away with a few words.
Everyone looked at Bai He.
The little girl was dressed very casually, but her facial features were sweet and pure, and she still looked like a student. She spoke gently to Qi Lang, and her eyes were as soft as water.
She was not like those women out there who wanted to be with Qi Lang. On the contrary, their relationship was very natural, as if they had known each other for years.
She was not afraid of him, nor did she fear him, so naturally she did not try to please him.
Qi Lang personally pulled out the chair at the end of the long table and let Bai He sit in his chair, while he stood beside her and prepared a table of desserts and drinks for her.
An employee who was very understanding of the situation stood up and offered his seat to the other employee: "Mr. Qi, please sit here."
So Qi Lang sat down and peeled the chocolate and handed it to her mouth from time to time.
The girl pushed his hand away, held her chin and watched her supervisor's report carefully. Qi Lang lost his heart to work at this moment.
While listening to the report, I peeled pine nuts for her.
Bai He whispered, "Work hard!"
"Okay." Qi Lang pushed the small plate of pine nuts in front of her.
After the meeting, Qi Lang took Bai He to his office.
Her office is decorated in minimalist gray tones, with a luxurious streamlined desk that looks very textured.
There weren't many things on the table, but there was also a photo frame. The frame contained a photo of three people at the beach, the same photo in the frame on Yan Yi's desk.
It seems that they both like this photo very much.
Bai He looked at the photo and said casually, "It seems that I'm the only one who doesn't have a photo of the three of us on my desk."
Qi Lang asked: "What's on your desk?"
"What's on my desk is..."
The little girl suddenly froze and stopped talking.
Qi Lang was changing his coat, and when he saw she didn't move, he turned around and asked, "Huh?"
Bai He: "Sorry, the system battery is low and shutting down."
After saying that, the little girl fainted on the sofa and fell into a coma.
Qi Lang was instantly touched by her cuteness and picked her up.
She felt so weak that she had no strength at all, and she staggered over the sofa.
Qi Lang picked her up and placed her on his lap: "Since the system is shut down, it shouldn't be a problem for me to kiss her."
After saying that, he held her face and kissed her.
“Hmm!”
Bai He quickly came to life and avoided his kiss, but the man was not willing to let her go. He put his arms around her waist, held her in his arms, bit her lips and kissed her forcefully several times.
"No...no, Qi Lang, don't...there are people outside!"
Qi Lang pinched her chin, his deep hazel eyes fixed on her, forcing her to look into his eyes.
Bai He's face flushed, her breathing became a little rapid, and she turned her eyes away evasively.
"Why, you don't want to kiss me."
"No...it's just..."
"You've already promised me not to think about him anymore, and I won't allow you to think about him anymore."
After saying that, the man ignored her resistance, held her lips, and kissed her tenderly and lovingly.
Bai He closed his eyes, his heart... was in turmoil.
"Since when has kissing me become torture?" the man asked in a deep voice, kissing her. "I remember when we were in Hong Kong, you really enjoyed kissing me. Ten minutes at a time wasn't enough."
"Xiao Qi..."
"Are you dissatisfied with my lameness? I'm not as handsome as Yan Yi."
This touched the little girl's heart a little, and she shook her head vigorously: "No!"
Qi Lang kissed her, licking her lips, teeth, and tongue tip slowly and delicately, bit by bit as if he was tasting candy, wanting to melt her completely.
"Thank you for choosing me."
"This is the second time you've thanked me."
"Because I know this isn't easy." Qi Lang put his ear close to hers and whispered to her, "I know..."
He knew she had made her choice.
But he was not going to give in and was determined to take it back by force.
"Qi Lang..." Bai He tried to push him, "Okay."
"not enough."
Qi Lang pressed her onto the sofa and tugged at her tightly bound tie. Bai He looked at the door worriedly: "I'm afraid someone will come in."
"Won't."
He swallowed her breath deeply and whispered passionately in her ear, "I miss you so much. During my time in exile abroad, my greatest fear wasn't death. But I always thought, if I really died, I'm afraid you would cry. You would definitely cry, and I don't want you to cry, so I have to live no matter what. I can become a human, a ghost, a disabled person, or anything else. As long as I'm alive, I'll crawl back to you..."
After coming back, he rarely spoke so much. His emotions were sealed and suppressed...
Bai He was touched by his words and kissed him actively, closing her eyes and moistening her eyelashes.
"Thank you for coming back, Xiao Qi."
Qi Lang's physical desire spread like wildfire. He reached out and unbuttoned her jeans. Bai He was so scared that she quickly held his hand.
"No!"
This time the rejection was decisive and resounding.
Qi Lang knew that he could no longer test the bottom line.
He took a deep breath and looked at the girl with flushed cheeks under him: "Don't worry, it won't happen now."
"You promise?"
"I'll want you after we get married." He kissed her forehead and carefully smoothed the hair by her ears.
"Why are we talking about marriage?"
"Because I think about it every day. I want to marry you and have children with you."
…
In the evening, Bai He and Qi Langda took a speedboat to the sea restaurant. The restaurant was located on a man-made island. The indoor restaurant had panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, which provided an excellent view. They sat on the top floor of the restaurant, feeling the sea breeze, as if they were on an isolated island, with the sea in all directions.
It was sunset at this moment. There were large patches of fiery clouds in the distance, and the sun was slowly lowering on the horizon. The scenery was magnificent and gorgeous.
Yan Yi and Jian Ni had been seated for a long time. Qi Lang held Bai He's hand and walked up to the second-floor terrace. Jian Ni saw Qi Lang and hurried forward to hug him.
"Xiao Qi! My little darling! Do you know how scared I am of seeing you again? I'm afraid of seeing your corpse! I've already prepared the money for your funeral!"
Qi Lang dodged Jian Ni's embrace and hid behind Bai He: "Stop this crazy woman."
"What? What?! If you dare to say something rude again, I'll kick you into the sea and feed you to the sharks!"
Bai He smiled and said, "Sister Jian Ni, his legs are not in good condition, please don't make things difficult for him."
Jian Ni looked down and saw the two people holding hands tightly. "Tsk tsk, it seems that I still chose my first love, Bai Yueguang."
Bai He didn't say anything, lowered his eyes, and didn't even dare to look at Yan Yi.
Inexplicably, a sense of sadness welled up in my heart.
Yan Yi seemed to have been mentally prepared, but at this moment, his heart was still torn apart... He tried his best to suppress the dull pain in his chest, stood up and said -
"Sister, brother-in-law, come and sit down."
