“I never thought of betraying you. What happened with Bai Jinghong was just an act!” Shen Yaoyao’s voice was very flat.
“An act? Acting for what? Are you going to act your way into his bed next time?” Chen Lin shouted.
“I hope you remember your place. If you have any intimate contact with that bastard Bai Jinghong again, you can forget about ever becoming my woman!”
Hearing this, Shen Yaoyao felt a surge of anger rush straight to her head.
She really wanted to curse.
Damn it, how had she never noticed this side of Chen Lin before, with such arrogant words?
Shen Yaoyao’s chest heaved up and down; she was forcing herself to suppress her rage.
Chen Lin didn’t dwell on this issue, instead asking in a cold voice: “Did you get access to any important documents or projects today?”
“No!”
“Report to me immediately if anything comes up!” Chen Lin snorted coldly. “I’ve already arranged for Impermanence to enter the country. He’s going to set up a company in Dragon Sea!”
“You are crucial right now. I’m going to absorb all of the Bai Corporation’s assets into my company!”
“Got it.” Shen Yaoyao’s tone remained extremely indifferent from start to finish.
Of course, this matched her usual demeanor, so Chen Lin didn’t think much of it.
After hanging up, Shen Yaoyao left the restroom and returned to Bai Jinghong’s side.
Bai Jinghong was still watching the movie, paying no attention to her.
What she didn’t know was that while she was in the restroom, Bai Jinghong had already used his X-Ray Vision to see everything.
Of course, he wasn’t watching her pee, but watching her make the call.
Although he didn’t know the content of the call, judging from Shen Yaoyao’s changing expression and clenched fists, it was clear she was furious.
And that call, without even needing to think, was from that bastard Chen Lin.
After the way he and Shen Yaoyao had acted in front of him today, it was definitely interrogation and fury on the other end.
This was also a perfect opportunity.
Once Shen Yaoyao sat down, Bai Jinghong acted casually, picking up a piece of cut fruit with a fork and bringing it to Shen Yaoyao’s lips.
Shen Yaoyao, still somewhat angry about Chen Lin’s words, was stunned by this gesture.
But Bai Jinghong never once looked at her; his gaze remained fixed on the movie.
It gave the impression of a subconscious, caring action.
Shen Yaoyao bit her lip, then slowly opened her mouth and ate the fruit Bai Jinghong offered.
For someone like Shen Yaoyao, Bai Jinghong always used soft tactics.
For a girl lacking love and security, trying to conquer her with intimidation would only backfire.
He had to start with the details, slowly infiltrating her heart to occupy it completely.
After work, Bai Jinghong didn’t return to the Bai Family home. Instead, he took Shen Yaoyao to the Autumn Club.
There, they caroused with the other young masters and ladies from the prodigal circles until very late before Bai Jinghong finally brought Shen Yaoyao back to the Bai Family Estate.
The Bai Family Estate was vast beyond Shen Yaoyao’s imagination.
It had a private swimming pool, gym, combat room, gaming room, billiard room, basketball court, volleyball court, football field, and golf course.
The sheer scale of it all was incredibly exaggerated.
To tour the estate, one would need a sightseeing cart just to see everything.
It gave the feeling of being in the manor of a marquis from ancient times.
She was currently staying in a standalone villa within the Bai Family Estate.
She lived in the same villa as Bai Jinghong, just not in the same room.
After a day of contact, if Shen Yaoyao were to sum up Bai Jinghong’s life, it would be: going with the flow, following his whims.
As time passed, two days went by in a blink.
Today was the birthday of Fan Ning’er’s father, Fan Xiangming.
Bai Jinghong’s presence was mandatory.
Not only did he have to show up, he also had to bring a gift.
Early in the morning, Bai Jinghong had already changed into a relatively formal outfit.
At that moment, Shen Yaoyao walked slowly down the stairs.
She approached Bai Jinghong.
She had changed into a purple dress that was stunningly noble at first glance.
The dress was custom-made by Bai Jinghong.
When Shen Yaoyao put it on, she felt like she wasn’t herself.
She had never worn a dress before, always wearing combat suits or tight clothing.
Occasionally, she might have worn casual clothes.
“Truly beautiful. You should wear dresses more often. They look so much better than those professional outfits or casual wear!”
Bai Jinghong reached out and adjusted Shen Yaoyao’s hair, offering his praise.
Shen Yaoyao lowered her head, a little shy.
Then, very naturally, Bai Jinghong took her hand and led her towards the dining room.
In the dining room, Bai Ruoxi was eating as usual.
When Bai Ruoxi saw Bai Jinghong and Shen Yaoyao enter, a beautiful smile spread across her face, and she went straight to greet them.
Bai Jinghong was about to say hello when he saw Bai Ruoxi approach Shen Yaoyao.
“Sister-in-law, you look gorgeous in that. That rascal has good taste!”
“Come, Sister made you some Bird’s Nest and Abalone Congee, good for your skin and beauty.”
Bai Ruoxi truly adored Shen Yaoyao.
She was quiet, beautiful, and charming.
The morning after Shen Yaoyao arrived at the Bai house, Bai Ruoxi had already started calling her Sister-in-law, and although Shen Yaoyao had tried to explain, it seemed useless.
So she simply stopped trying.
While Bai Jinghong was a scoundrel, Bai Ruoxi was a genuinely perfect person.
“Thank you, Sister…” Shen Yaoyao also smiled and followed Bai Ruoxi to a seat.
Bai Jinghong watched this scene, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Although his sister didn’t know Shen Yaoyao’s true identity, these actions were divine assists.
They could better plant a seed in Shen Yaoyao’s heart.
As long as Shen Yaoyao stood on his side, there would be plenty of headaches for Chen Lin in the future. The Enchantress with a thousand faces was not to be trifled with.
Under the “guidance” and chatter of the two sisters, Bai Jinghong finally finished breakfast.
He took Shen Yaoyao and left the Bai house.
……
He didn’t know what he was busy with, but he was busy all morning.
Near noon, Bai Jinghong brought Shen Yaoyao to the Fan Family home.
The area outside the Fan Family villa was very lively.
Although the Fan Family was basically ruined after the last incident, the reason so many people had come was because news had spread that Bai Jinghong would attend Fan Xiangming’s birthday banquet.
This caused those who were originally on the fence to return to the Fan Family’s door.
The attendees were of all sorts, mostly from the business world.
These people came with their own agendas.
Some were just going through the motions.
The rest were there entirely because of Bai Jinghong.
Besides trying to curry favor, they also wanted to see if Young Master Bai had truly gotten back together with Fan Ning’er. If so, they would have to be careful in their future dealings.
After all, Bai Jinghong’s reputation as a Lapdog was well-known, and the terrifying nature of lapdogs meant that forgiveness seemed like a trait exclusive to this group.
What if Fan Ning’er came around and Bai Jinghong had an epiphany? She’d soar to the top again.
“Vroom, vroom…”
The roar of a sports car sounded, causing everyone to look over involuntarily.
A Koenigsegg stopped at the villa’s entrance.
The scissor doors opened, and Bai Jinghong came into everyone’s view.
“Young Master Bai, you’re here!”
“Young Master Bai…”
Everyone greeted him.
Then, a woman who stepped out of the passenger seat caused everyone to gasp.
What a beautiful woman, heroic yet gentle, the absolute pinnacle of perfection.
Those young masters who saw her were so stunned they hid in corners, offering a slight stiffening as a sign of respect.
“Young Master Bai!” The Fan family members quickly went to greet him with fawning smiles.
Bai Jinghong tossed them the car keys and snorted coldly: “Take good care of the car, or I’ll break your legs!”
