《Charming the Overbearing CEO After Transmigrating》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A horrid pain assaulted her senses as the flesh on her waist seemed to have been torn apart. The nerves that spanned that area were all shooting signals of pain straight to her brain¡­ This was the first thing that Luo Yun felt after regaining consciousness. Her eyelids were twitching, and her brows furrowed. At this moment, she seemed to hear two men talking to each other. The first one she heard was that of an emotionless male. ¡°How is she?¡± A gentler male voice replied, ¡°Madam¡¯s wound is quite deep, but the bleeding has stopped. It should not be that diffi¡­¡± The emotionless male voice said impatiently, ¡°Does she need to be sent to the hospital?¡± The owner of the gentler voice seemed to have paused for a moment before saying, ¡°I¡¯ll observe her first. For now, she simply needs to continue resting¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Luo Yun had already completely woken up. Who¡¯s the owner of the emotionless voice? He was already told that the wound is quite deep, so why doesn¡¯t he just let the patient be sent to the hospital? Does he have some sort of grudge against the patient? The next second, a click could be heard, and it sounded like a door had been pushed open. Then, there was the sound of a wheelchair sliding across the floor. Someone had come right beside her. Luo Yun strenuously supported her body and slowly sat up. She leaned against the head of her bed and took a look at the man in the wheelchair in front of her with a blank expression on her face. She remembered that she had performed three emergency operations in a row and was just about to take a break. She was now utterly confused after finding herself lying in an unfamiliar place after opening her eyes. Who is this handsome man in a wheelchair? He had deep-set eyes and handsome features. His thin lips were tightly pursed as he looked at her calmly with a hint of impatience on his face. Due to the dim lighting in the room, his jawline was even more distinct¡­ Wait a moment¡­ As she stared at the man, memories that did not belong to her came pouring into her mind. He was Bai Qihan, the fourth young master of the White Dragon Group, and also Luo Yun¡¯s legal husband! At the thought of this, Luo Yun¡¯s pupils instantly widened! This was not her world; she had not simply fainted from exhaustion! She had suddenly been transmigrated into a book! ¡°I won¡¯t pursue Lu Bei¡¯s matter any further.¡± After a long while, Bai Qihan spoke slowly. His voice was cold but crisp and pleasant to the ears. ¡°This is the divorce agreement. I¡¯ve already signed it.¡± He placed a stack of documents on her lap. Luo Yun was still in shock from the fact that she had been transmigrated into a book when she suddenly heard that the man in front of her was divorcing her. She looked at him while still thinking of the book that she had been transmigrated into. When reading the book, she thought this scheming disabled man was her ideal partner. He was 30 years old this year and was the fourth brother of the female lead, Bai Miaomiao. He was a big shot in the business world and was disabled for life due to an accident that had taken place when he was young. Ever since then, he could only move around in a wheelchair. As for her, she became his ex-wife, who died early. She had eloped with her lover and gotten into a car accident, bringing shame to the entire Bai family! The original Luo Yun was an illegitimate daughter, and her family forced her into an arranged marriage. The daughter of the legal wife of her family had not been willing to be married to a disabled person, so she, as the illegitimate daughter, had been the one to take her place. But back then, the original Luo Yun already had a boyfriend, and that was none other than Lu Bei, whom Bai Qihan had mentioned earlier. The current plot was considered the background of the book, and it had not officially entered the plot yet. Lu Bei had injured Bai Qihan¡¯s bodyguard and was sent to the police station by Bai Qihan. In order to force Bai Qihan to release her, Luo Yun stabbed herself in order to try and force charges onto Bai Qihan. Even with the memories of the original Luo Yun, the transmigrated Luo Yun could not understand what was going on in the mind of the original Luo Yun. However, at this time, Bai Qihan was already getting impatient and pointed at the divorce papers. Bai Qihan saw that Luo Yun was in a daze. He had no idea what she was thinking. He pointed at the check on the agreement and said, ¡°This should be enough for you to live without the Luo family for the rest of your life. I¡¯ve done my best. You can go.¡± After saying this, he had completely run out of patience. He pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± Luo Yun sat up straight, but she did not want to aggravate her wounds. Nevertheless, sitting up had caused her some pain, and she could not help but suck in a breath of cold air from the pain. Her eyes looked straight at Bai Qihan, and she said while biting her lip, ¡°Hubby, I don¡¯t want a divorce!¡± Bai Qihan furrowed his brows. He was confused. He had always had the impression that Luo Yun had always wanted to divorce him and elope with Lu Bei. Wasn¡¯t that what she had been looking forward to? And what did she just call me? Hubby? She used to call me with ¡°Hey¡±! Luo Yun quickly added, ¡°I¡¯m fine with Lu Bei¡¯s matter being left handled according to the law. It will be dealt with as it should be. I will not plead for mercy.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes narrowed as his gaze fell on her hand that was gripping the corner of the blanket. Yesterday afternoon, she confronted him with a knife and threatened him to let her go. Why had she suddenly changed? Did she not do all that to get a divorce? ¡°Are you serious?¡± His voice deepened. When Luo Yun heard this, she sighed. As expected of a big shot, even his words are imposing. However, she nodded her head vigorously, ¡°I¡¯m serious! I don¡¯t want to divorce you. I won¡¯t interfere in Lu Bei¡¯s matters. He stabbed someone, and he should be judged by the law.¡± Bai Qihan laughed coldly and said, ¡°Hah, so you were the one to stab yourself, is that right?¡± Luo Yun bit her lip and then said, without the expression on her face changing, ¡°My hand slipped. It was an accident¡­¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s smile disappeared, and his voice became colder. ¡°Have you thought things through? I won¡¯t give you a second chance!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Mm! I¡¯ve thought things through.¡± Luo Yun stared at his face with a solemn and sincere gaze. With his face, he could easily dominate the entire entertainment industry. Moreover, those people in the entertainment industry did not possess his aura and temperament. How could she give up such a good opportunity and such a handsome man? ¡°Should you change your mind, I give you until tomorrow to go back on your word.¡± After saying that, Bai Qihan pushed his wheelchair out of the room. ¡°I won¡¯t go back on my word!¡± Luo Yun shouted at Bai Qihan¡¯s back as he left the room. Of course, this time, he no longer replied to her. In the book, the original Luo Yun used self-harm in order to force Bai Qihan to let her go. Then, she signed the divorce papers and prepared to leave the country with the money that Bai Qihan had given her to get married to Lu Bei. But unfortunately, everything was but a beautiful dream that the original Luo Yun had imagined for herself. While she was driving to look for Lu Bei, she got into an accident, and she died with a severely disfigured body. As for Lu Bei, he unhesitatingly took her money and left the country with his little lover. He did not even attend her funeral. In fact, the car ¡°accident¡± had even been organized by him. At the thought of this, Luo Yun took a deep breath. The original Luo Yun was a person who handled matters in an extreme manner, and she was someone who could not see through people¡¯s hearts, which ultimately led to her miserable fate. At night, Luo Yun got a high fever. Her wound was causing her so much pain that she could not bring herself to sleep at all. It was really difficult having to endure such a wound at home. In the end, she really could not take the fever anymore. She stood up shakily and saw the medicine box on the bed. She found fever medicine and painkillers inside. Then, while enduring the pain, she poured herself a glass of water and swallowed the fever medicine. Just these simple actions had resulted in her body being drenched in cold sweat. Luo Yun leaned on the bed and thought about her original world. She was a 29-year-old medical practitioner and was the disciple of an unparalleled scholar. She was a surgeon who was proficient in acupuncture. She was constantly busy with work, and this novel was recommended to her by her best friend. She said that the female lead¡¯s fourth brother, Bai Qihan, would definitely be her ideal type, and his aura would crush even that of the male lead. Indeed, Bai Qihan, who was cold and unfeeling and focused on his career, had won her heart. She had completely forgotten who the male lead was by the end of the story. Luo Yun touched the wound on her waist and could not help but take a deep breath. This really hurts! This woman really did not hold back when she cut herself. She felt as if her nerves had been stretched to their limits and were going to break at any moment. She closed her eyes, and more memories emerged in her head. The original Luo Yun had planned on buying a wedding ring and given Lu Bei money as an investment. But in fact, Lu Bei merely used the money to pay off his gambling debt¡­ She clearly knew that Bai Qihan liked peace and quiet, so she had invited a group of friends to party at their house late at night¡­ She even changed the security password to the house on her own and trapped Bai Qihan outside after he returned from a business trip in the middle of the night. This caused his anxiety to flare up again, but after the incident, he simply brushed it off and said that he had already forgotten about it¡­ There was a time that she pointed at Bai Qihan¡¯s nose and shouted, ¡°Being with you, I will never be a complete woman in this life. My life has been ruined by you¡­¡± In short, there was nothing that the original Luo Yun had not done. Bai Qihan had always been tolerant and accommodating, but it looked like, this time, he had already had enough. Perhaps Bai Qihan had still been able to manage with her small antics when they initially got married, but as time went on, this wife of his became a bigger and bigger problem, and he could no longer handle it. With these chaotic memories in her mind, Luo Yun fell asleep in a daze. However, not long after she fell asleep, she was awakened by a sharp female voice! ¡°Luo Yun? Are you there?¡± ¡°Miss Shi, madam is still resting. You can¡¯t go in¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m her best friend, so why can¡¯t I enter her house? You¡¯re just a servant, yet you dare stop me? Do you want to keep your job or not? When she wakes up, I¡¯ll tell her that you¡¯re all a bunch of backstabbers and ask her to fire you all!¡± At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open. ¡°Luo Yun, what are you doing? Lu Bei is going to be sued for intentional assault. He will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison. Didn¡¯t you say that you would help him? How did this happen?¡± A discontented and sharp voice almost pierced Luo Yun¡¯s eardrums. She had not slept well because of the pain from her wound, and now she was woken up right after finally managing to fall asleep. Luo Yun was instantly enraged. She looked at the person that had arrived as if she were looking at a dead body. Shi Chunfang nearly forgot what she had come to say when her eyes met those cold eyes. After a long while, she asked, ¡°Luo Yun, what¡¯s wrong? What are you looking at me so fiercely for? Don¡¯t you know that Lu Bei is going to be sentenced?¡± ¡°I know,¡± Luo Yun replied. ¡°You know?¡± Shi Chunfang raised her voice, ¡°If you know, then how are you so calm? Do you not care about him? He loves you so much that he even went so far as to hurt someone! How did you become so cold-blooded?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Cold-blooded? When she heard this, Luo Yun nearly laughed out loud. Who exactly is the cold-blooded one between us? When the original Luo Yun had been dating Lu Bei, the woman in front of her had already slept with him. Additionally, she clearly knew of how exactly the original Luo Yun came to die, but then she still took all the money that Bai Qihan had given the original Luo Yun and used it to leave the country with Lu Bei with no qualms of conscience. A vile and vicious person such as that is actually calling me cold-blooded? ¡°Tell me, what did he do for me?¡± Luo Yun said indifferently. Shi Chunfang was at a loss for words, but she quickly reacted, ¡°That bodyguard blocked Lu Bei, preventing him from seeing you. Lu Bei had only taken action because he was in a hurry¡­¡± Luo Yun closed her eyes. She knew the truth. Lu Bei had not gone to see her. Instead, he had gone there to provoke Bai Qihan. At that time, she had been standing right beside Bai Qihan. Lu Bei stuffed one of his hands into his pocket as if he was about to take something out. Then, he approached her while his eyes were filled with a dangerous light. With all that taking place, how could the bodyguards not move to stop him? Lu Bei then took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Bai Qihan¡¯s bodyguard right in front of everyone¡¯s eyes. After recalling all this, Luo Yun said righteously, ¡°Lu Bei assaulted someone without hesitation or remorse. He deserves to be sentenced.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Shi Chunfang was furious, ¡°Luo Yun, what¡¯s wrong with you? Did Bai Qihan threaten you?¡±¡± Luo Yun only wanted to laugh. Bai Qihan had not threatened her. On the contrary, she was the one who threatened him. She looked around and saw that the servants were all gathered around her door, not daring to come in. This was because previously, when Shi Chunfang had come looking for her and was blocked by the servants, she then went and complained to the original Luo Yun while crying nonstop. The original Luo Yun then lost her temper after learning of what happened and reprimanded the servants, saying that they did not take her seriously. ¡°I knew it! Bai Qihan must have threatened you! He could not stand the fact that you like Lu Bei. Therefore, he wanted to kill Lu Bei. He must be filled with jealousy! He¡¯s too petty. He¡¯s far from being a respectable man. Luo Yun, you still remember when Lu Bei would help you when you were getting bullied by others in the past, right? Now that he¡¯s in trouble, you¡¯ll help him too, right?¡± Shi Chunfang saw that Luo Yun was not saying anything, so she shook her shoulders and said, ¡°You can¡¯t let Lu Bei be sentenced to prison. Otherwise, his life will be ruined! Do you have the heart to let the man who loves you so much have his life be completely ruined?¡± Luo Yun¡¯s wound almost split open from how violently Shi Chunfang was shaking her. She then called out hoarsely, ¡°Come in.¡± This Shi Chunfang must be a lunatic! How could she be so unruly? No wonder the original Luo Yun had such a weird way of thinking. It was because of the people around her! From the words of this woman in front of me, even if that original Luo Yun¡¯s brain was working properly, it would be difficult to refuse this lunatic! However, Luo Yun did not expect that no one would come in after she called for help. Because her voice was too soft, the servants outside could not hear her. They also knew of her rules and did not dare to come in. ¡°Luo Yun, what are you still thinking about?¡± Shi Chunfang gripped her shoulders forcefully and said, ¡°You must save Lu Bei. Go and beg Bai Qihan. If you kneel down, he will definitely listen to you. After all, it¡¯s already good enough for someone like him to have a wife. He will definitely not want you to leave him¡­¡± Luo Yun really wanted to curse right now. Her wound was bleeding from the shaking, and the pain was assaulting her senses constantly. All of her nerves were trembling from the pain, and her head was covered in cold sweat. She reached out to push Shi Chunfang, but her hands were trembling from the pain. She could not muster any strength at all, and even if she told Shi Chunfang to let go of her, it would not sound imposing at all. Luo Yun¡¯s eyes looked to the side. She saw a cup on the bedside table, grabbed it, and then smashed it on Shi chunfang¡¯s head without hesitation. ¡°Ah!¡± Shi Chunfang screamed. There was still water in the cup, and it was now dripping down her cheeks. If not for Luo Yun¡¯s lack of strength and energy, she would have definitely split open Shi Chunfang¡¯s head right then. Luo Yun felt that it was a great pity that she had not been able to do so. ¡°Luo Yun, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me?¡± Shi Chunfang shrieked. ¡°Get lost!¡± Luo Yun¡¯s patience had long reached its limit. Her wound was in so much pain that her lips had lost all color. Despite all the visible signs that she was in pain, it was as if Shi Chunfang did not care about how she was at all. But now, Shi Chunfang had been frightened by Luo Yun¡¯s aura and gaze. Even so, she did not give up. After all, the original Luo Yun had never been able to leave her, so she felt that she naturally had nothing to fear. Moreover, she had come with an important purpose today. She wiped her face and said in a choked voice, ¡°What about Lu Bei? I heard that he¡¯s going to be imprisoned for ten years. With Bai Qihan¡¯s means, Lu Bei will definitely be made to rot in prison. Can you bear to see him die?¡± At this moment, the sound of a wheelchair could be heard from outside the door. It should be Bai Qihan passing by. Luo Yun shouted with all her strength, ¡°Bai Qihan, save me!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As the door was pushed open, Bai Qihan was pushed into the room by his butler. He had gone for his morning exercise and had just returned when he heard that the madam¡¯s best friend had come to see her. He was about to go to the study when he heard her cry for help. The room was currently a mess, and Luo Yun lay on the bed, weak and pitiful. ¡°Hubby, she¡¯s so noisy¡­ Help me chase her away.¡± Bai Qihan gestured to his butler using his eyes. The butler immediately walked in front of Shi Chunfang while maintaining his dignified manner and said, ¡°Please take your leave.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t chase me away! I¡¯m not leaving! Luo Yun, are you being controlled?¡± Shi Chunfang started to go crazy again. ¡°Lu Bei loves you so much. How can you leave him in the lurch? Do you not love him anymore? Who is threatening you? Luo Yun, you have to think for yourself! Why are you so stupid¡­¡± Luo Yun waved her hand. Please, I¡¯m begging you. Get lost. You¡¯re so damn noisy. If you don¡¯t leave now, I might actually end up losing my image as a proper lady and curse at you in front of Bai Qihan! The butler had already given Shi Chunfang a chance, but she did not take it. As such, the butler, without any hesitation, grabbed Shi Chunfang by her collar and dragged her away. The bedroom immediately fell silent. Luo Yun touched her wound and saw blood on her hand after taking it back. She looked at Bai Qihan pitifully. ¡°My wound has opened. I¡¯m not going to die, am I?¡± An ice-cold expression remained on Bai Qihan¡¯s face. After glancing at the blood on her hand, he said flatly, ¡°I¡¯ll tell the doctor to come over.¡± He was already giving her face by not saying that she deserved it. After saying that, he prepared to leave, but she stopped him. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Luo Yun was truly in pain, and her eyes even began to mist up. She explained, ¡°She barged in a while ago and asked me to save Lu Bei. After I rejected her, she violently and crazily shook my shoulder. That¡¯s why my wound opened up. It really hurts.¡± Her eyes were red, and she looked pitiful. In the past, she would act extremely, and her words were as sharp as a dagger. She had always been a despicable woman. This was the first time that Bai Qihan had ever seen such a wronged and pitiful expression coming from her; it was the first time he had ever seen her like this. He was stunned momentarily but he said calmly, ¡°Hold on, I¡¯ll get the doctor to quickly come over.¡± Luo Yun reached out to him, and he was puzzled. Luo Yun sighed in her heart. She endured the pain and grabbed his hand that was on his knee. Her five fingers interlocked with his fingers, and then she said, ¡°This way, I won¡¯t be in so much pain.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s pupils shrank. He instinctively pulled his hand back, but she used more force. Their eyes met. Her eyes were clear and teary, and there was a hint of pleading in them. He did not know why, but his stiff fingers slowly loosened. Her hand was small and soft, and when they interlocked their fingers, he could clearly feel the warmth spreading to his palm. ¡°She¡¯s not allowed to come to our house anymore, okay?¡± Luo Yun looked at him with sparkling eyes. ¡°She¡¯s your friend, so it¡¯s your decision to make.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s voice was still cold. He was as cold as a block of ice. He seemed to be easy-going and polite, but in fact, he was a rather cold and distant person. He always distanced himself from others and closed himself off, not allowing anyone to come in. His parents had passed away when he was young, and he was crippled in both legs. He did not have much sincere company as he grew up, especially since he belonged to a large family like the Bai family. All in all, the love he received was quite minimal. But even so, he also became an existence that people feared. The original novel¡¯s plot officially began two years later, and by then, the original Luo Yun had already died. Bai Qihan had also become an overlord of the business world. He was a man of his word, and he could control the rise and fall of the entire Bai family just by sitting in a wheelchair. If not for his disability, Luo Yun believed that Bai Qihan¡¯s achievements would have even been far greater. Luo Yun stared at his legs. His legs, wrapped in black casual pants, looked no different from a normal person¡¯s, but he could never stand up. If I could help him recover¡­ As soon as this thought came to her mind, Luo Yun almost lost control of her emotions. However, she soon felt a little discouraged. Bai Qihan¡¯s injuries were too severe, and it had been too long. She was not confident that she could achieve such a feat by herself. However, if her Master Li Shi were here, she might just be able to do it. Bai Qihan could clearly feel her gaze on his legs. However, this time, he discovered that her eyes were not filled with undisguised disgust like they usually would. She did not even point at him and call him a good-for-nothing like she usually did. Instead, her eyes were showing traces of regret and pity. He was surprised and confused as to why Luo Yun would have such emotions in her gaze as she looked at him. At this moment, the doctor arrived and helped Luo Yun treat her wound. Her stomach grumbled a few times as well. She said embarrassedly, ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± After the ruckus that Shi Chunfang had caused in the morning, she was already famished. Bai Qihan ordered the servants to prepare breakfast for her, requesting for some simple and light food. When the servant came in with breakfast and saw the madam and sir with their fingers intertwined, she almost dropped the platter¡­ Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The servant remembered that the madam had always disliked the sir, and it was not even unheard of for her to say nasty things right to his face. Because of all that, the servant found the sight before her, where the sir and madam were holding hands, to be unbelievable. ¡°Thank you,¡± Luo Yun said to the servant. The sudden thanks nearly caused the servant to trip and fall to the ground. She wondered what had happened that the madam had suddenly become a more caring person. The day before, the madam had still been quarreling with the sir and even threatened him by stabbing herself. ¡°It¡¯s my duty,¡± the servant hurriedly said. She really did not dare to accept the thanks of the madam. Although the original Luo Yun used to scold these servants whenever she was in a bad mood, these servants did not take it to heart and had always done their best in their work. Otherwise, with the original Luo Yun¡¯s personality, even if she did not get poisoned by the servants, it was still very possible that they would deliberately add some spit into her food. Since she knew this, Luo Yun was truly grateful to the servants. If she did not thank them, she would find it nigh impossible to be able to eat in peace after transmigrating into the book. After the servant left, Luo Yun pointed at the plate in front of her and said in a soft voice, ¡°My wound really hurts, so I can¡¯t sit and eat for a long time. Can you feed me?¡± Her face was pale, and she was clearly unwell. Nevertheless, it was undeniable that she was still beautiful. She had a gentle and charming face. The corners of her eyes drooped slightly, making her look pure and innocent. Her features were especially magnified when she spoke as her eyes blinked quickly while her curled eyelashes fluttered. She looked extremely pitiful and perhaps no man could refuse her request. That is, other than Bai Qihan. ¡°Just let the servant do it.¡± He refused and remained unmoved. Luo Yun did not give up. She pouted slightly. ¡°I want you to feed me, can you?¡± She¡¯s actually acting coquettishly? ¡°The servants have already left. It¡¯s quite troublesome to have them come again. Just treat it as if you¡¯re taking care of a weak and pitiful patient.¡± Bai Qihan turned his face away. After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice, ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Seeing that he had actually agreed, Luo Yun¡¯s mood brightened. She then quickly said, ¡°The porridge is still a little hot, so I¡¯ll have a dumpling first.¡± Bai Qihan picked up a small steamed dumpling with his chopsticks. He had originally wanted to pass it to her for her to eat it herself, but before he could do so, she had already opened her mouth and let out an ¡°ah¡± sound. Bai Qihan was left speechless. Finding himself unable to do anything else, he brought the dumping to her lips. Luo Yun did not care about her image and swallowed the dumpling in one bite. Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes were probing. ¡°I seem to recall that you aren¡¯t fond of such dumplings, but you seem to be enjoying them this time.¡± In the past, the servants would have definitely not served her anything she did not like. However, due to the ruckus that Shi Chunfang had caused earlier, the servant got anxious and brought the wrong breakfast. Luo Yun was enjoying the delicious dumplings when she heard that. Her eyes flickered. ¡°Hm, I think that I¡¯m just so hungry right now that I¡¯d find anything delicious.¡± Bai Qihan did not say anything more. Ever since Luo Yun had woken up last night, he had felt that she had changed. However, he remembered that she had hurt her waist, not her brain. Luo Yun looked at Bai Qihan¡¯s inquisitive eyes and became slightly nervous. Could he have discovered something? Because of the dumpling? She quickly narrowed her eyes and smiled at him. As expected, when Bai Qihan saw her smile, he became a little uncomfortable and did not ask any further. Bai Qihan had never taken care of anyone before, so he did not even blow on the porridge when he fed her. He simply brought it to her lips. Luo Yun stuck out her tongue and carefully felt the porridge. ¡°It¡¯s still a little too hot. Can you blow on it?¡± She was acting like a little kitten, which made Bai Qihan even more suspicious. Did she really not hurt her brain? Could it be that the placement of her brain is different from normal people¡¯s? Did her brain grow on her waist? If that¡¯s the case, then it¡¯s no wonder why she does so many brainless things. It was probably because her head was just a decoration. Even though he thought so, Bai Qihan still blew on the spoon before bringing it to her lips once again. Luo Yun could tell that Bai Qihan was a very mild-tempered person. Or rather, he was very good at pretending. Of course, as long as you did not cross his bottom line, he could continue to act in such a way. Such a person could be said to be both easy and difficult to approach at the same time. The book¡¯s evaluation of Bai Qihan was that he was gentle on the surface and restrained in his manners when dealing with people. Those who truly understood him knew that this was all merely on the surface. He was born critical and strong. He was determined to get what he wanted and what he liked. He would never let anyone take them away from him. At the same time, he was also very rational. He calmly knew when he should force things and when he should let go. He would minimize losses should the situation arise, and he never dragged things out. Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Inside the study, the family doctor reported Luo Yun¡¯s physical condition to Bai Qihan. He said that as long as Luo Yun recuperated patiently and always took her medicine on time, the stitches could be removed in a few days. Bai Qihan asked, ¡°Are you certain that only her waist got injured?¡± The family doctor replied, ¡°Yes. She had a fever previously because of the inflammation of her wound. However, the madam¡¯s body is now in good condition, and her fever had even gone down very quickly. Bai Qihan asked, ¡°Could the fever have affected her brain?¡± ¡°It could indeed have had some effects, but the madam is currently not in such a condition.¡± The family doctor did not understand why the sir was asking him this, but he still cooperated and dutifully answered the questions asked of him. Bai Qihan did not ask any more questions and said politely, ¡°Thank you for all your help.¡± After the family doctor left, Bai Qihan sat at his desk. He was about to read a finance book when he put it back. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a book about the brain and read through it carefully. At this moment, there was a knock on his door. Then, the clear and nimble voice of a woman could be heard from the other side of the door. ¡°May I come in?¡± ¡°Come in.¡± Bai Qihan closed the book as he said aloud. Luo Yun pushed the door open and walked in. ¡°Is something the matter?¡± asked Bai Qihan. Luo Yun nodded. ¡°I¡¯ve come to apologize to you.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes twitched. He never thought that the woman in front of him would do something like come to apologize to him. Bai Qihan could not be blamed for being surprised. It should be noted that the original Luo Yun was absolutely horrendous when it came to apologizing. Due to the misfortune of her original family, she became extreme and stubborn. No matter what happened, she would always think that the other party was at fault and never her. ¡°I was muddleheaded in the past. I had not been thinking straight, and I did a lot of unreasonable things. Most importantly, I was harsh and antagonistic toward you.¡± Luo Yun¡¯s head drooped down as she spoke. Now that she had taken the place of the Luo Yun in this world, she had to bear the consequences of this Luo Yun¡¯s past. After all, who would believe her if she said that she had transmigrated? If she were to say that to Bai Qihan, he would probably think that there was something seriously wrong with her brain. Therefore, an apology was necessary. ¡°Rest assured, I will definitely not repeat my mistakes.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s face was mostly hidden due to the dim light of the study room. His expression could not be seen clearly, but his face still somehow gave off a feeling of coldness. ¡°A month ago, you said the same thing. Of course, other than the part where you actually offered an apology.¡± Bai Qihan shut his eyes. When he opened them again, there was not a hint of anger in them. ¡°A month after that, you stabbed yourself so that I would not hold you responsible for your old lover.¡± It was difficult for him to trust the woman in front of him. After all, she had gone back on her words many times. He really hated being lied to and having his trust broken. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you suddenly changed your mind after you woke up, but I¡¯ve already given you the chance to get a divorce. You¡¯re the one who rejected it. The Bai family isn¡¯t a place you can enter and leave as you please, so don¡¯t challenge my bottom line.¡± Luo Yun clutched her wound and walked closer to him. Facing him, she said, ¡°I definitely won¡¯t. From now on, I¡¯ll only be good to you. I won¡¯t bother with any old lovers for the rest of my life.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s face remained expressionless. It was obvious that he did not believe her. He only hoped that she would know her place and not cause him any more trouble. As for him, he would fulfill his responsibilities as a husband. Her rights would not change. ¡°I will prove it to you.¡± Luo Yun made her way around the desk. Then, she suddenly bent down and kissed him on the face. Luo Yun kissed her in a moment of passion. Regardless, this was actually the first time in her life that she had taken the initiative to get close to someone of the opposite sex. However, the person she liked was right in front of her, so how could he not take the initiative? She would not let go of such a good opportunity. However, she was too nervous. She bent down too quickly and got up too quickly. She forgot that she was injured. After kissing him on the face, she was forced to take a deep breath and reach out to support herself up using Bai Qihan¡¯s wheelchair. It was only then that she managed to stand up. ¡°I know you still don¡¯t believe me, but I¡¯ll use time to prove my words.¡± After saying that, she hissed again. She picked at her wound and sucked in a breath of cold air in pain. Bai Qihan did not say a word. Fortunately, the study was dimly lit; otherwise, Luo Yun would have definitely been able to see that his ears had turned bright red. He was silent for a moment, then his face darkened. ¡°You keep on running around when you¡¯re injured. Tsk, just go back and properly rest in bed.¡± ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Although her wound was still causing her much pain, Luo Yun¡¯s heart was much more relaxed now. This was the only novel she had ever read. When she read it, she immediately fell in love with Bai Qihan¡¯s character and felt bad for him. Although he had a supporting role in the book, the male lead still had to respectfully address him as ¡°Fourth Master¡± every time he saw him. Now that she was here and was officially his wife, she would definitely dote on him. If she could cure his leg, her arrival here would not be in vain. And so, Luo Yun continued obediently recuperating at home, and the servants did their best to take care of her. Bai Qihan had never mistreated her in terms of food and clothing. This gave her the energy to figure out her current situation. Just as she was occupied by her thoughts, her phone rang. It was Mrs. Luo. Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The original Luo Yun was an illegitimate daughter of the Luo family. She had two elder sisters and one younger sister. Because she was an illegitimate child, she did not enjoy a good life in the Luo family. Good things never came to her, while everything bad was thrown at her. Her sisters knew that the fourth son of the Bai family was disabled, so they were naturally unwilling to marry him. Following that, they directly pushed her, the illegitimate daughter, to be the one to be married to him instead. Luo Yun looked at the caller ID on her phone. It was none other than Yu Xia, the current wife of that scumbag father of hers. She unlocked her phone and lazily answered the call. ¡°Hello.¡± When Yu Xia saw that the call had connected, she immediately ordered, ¡°It¡¯s your father¡¯s 50th birthday the day after tomorrow. Tell Bai Qihan to come and celebrate his birthday.¡± ¡°Is Bai Qihan someone you can call over just because you want to?¡± Luo Yun laughed. ¡°Luo Yun, what¡¯s with that attitude of yours?¡± Yu Xia was furious when she heard the tone of Luo Yun¡¯s voice. She turned to Luo Dashan and said, ¡°Listen to what that little bastard daughter of yours is saying. She really is something that has not had a proper mother to raise her. It¡¯s as if she thinks we¡¯re begging her to come.¡± Luo Dashan took the phone. ¡°Luo Yun, ask Bai Qihan to come back home with you. You¡¯ve been married for over a year, but you haven¡¯t returned to the country. Although he¡¯s disabled and physically challenged, he¡¯s still your husband. Our Luo family is also a prestigious family. How can he be my son-in-law if he¡¯s so rude? I¡¯m telling you, you two come back home, okay? Are you listening?¡± Luo Yun frowned. Bai Qihan¡¯s physical condition made a lot of things inconvenient for him, so he rarely participated in such events. Besides, if he went, he would only receive a bunch of unfriendly gazes. Just thinking about it made him feel annoyed. As such, it was much better for him not to go. Moreover, Bai Qihan did not care about such things. The last time that the two of them attended a party, even the original Luo Yun felt embarrassed from being looked at with ill intentions. When they got home, she had a big fight with Bai Qihan. Since then, Bai Qihan has avoided appearing with her at such events. Although Luo Yun did not mind these things now, she did not want Bai Qihan to have to experience being badmouthed by other people right in his face again, so she said, ¡°I don¡¯t have the time. Bai Qihan is busy as well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think you can fool me! How can you not have the time?¡± Yu Xia sneered mercilessly on the other end of the phone, ¡°After marrying into the Bai family, you have not needed to work nor study another day of your life. Every day, you leisurely enjoy the life of a rich wife. You don¡¯t even need to give birth or tend to children! So tell me, how can you not have the time for your father¡¯s birthday? Don¡¯t you forget, if it wasn¡¯t for me and your father, what right would an illegitimate daughter like you have to marry into the Bai family? You should be grateful to be able to live such a good life. Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re married to Bai Qihan, you¡¯re superior to everyone else. I can¡¯t believe that you even have the audacity to ignore your father¡¯s words now¡­¡± Yu Xia was still jabbering on the phone. She was like this every time. It was as if she could not live if she did not belittle Luo Yun every time they talked. Luo Yun hung up the phone. The Luo couple could control the original Luo Yun, but they could not control her. After all, she did not care about her so-called family in this world. However, Luo Yun underestimated the Luo couple¡¯s abilities. Soon, the old master of the Bai family called Bai Qihan. He told Bai Qihan about his father-in-law¡¯s birthday party and that Bai Qihan should put down his work to attend it. He could not afford to be tardy, or people would say that the Bai family was lacking in manners. Bai Qihan had never refuted his grandfather¡¯s words, so he could only agree. He was in the company office at the moment. After hanging up the phone, he typed a message and sent it to Luo Yun. [I¡¯ll go to the Luo family with you the day after tomorrow. I¡¯ll get Qiu Ming to prepare a gift.] When Luo Yun saw the message, she immediately sat up, her expression becoming worse. She calmed down for a while and began typing a message. She edited it a few times, and in the end, she sent, [Are you free right now?] [What is it?] Luo Yun thought about it and called him directly. ¡°Do we really have to attend the party the day after tomorrow?¡± Bai Qihan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, ¡°This time, it was my grandfather who told me to do so. As such, I cannot refuse. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll leave after I deliver the gift. I won¡¯t embarrass you.¡± Luo Yun: ¡°???¡± He seemed to have misunderstood her and thought that she did not want to appear at the same event as him. But that was not what she meant! She hurriedly explained, ¡°It¡¯s not that I care about whether or not you embarrass me. I just feel that it¡¯s inconvenient for you to move around. You¡¯ve never liked attending such events. When Luo Dashan called, I said we did not have the time and refused. But I didn¡¯t expect them to go to your grandfather. I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Luo Dashan had abused her and then abandoned her. He could not control his lower body, and that eventually lead to the original Luo Yun having to bear the brunt of his faults. In the end, she was even forcefully married off. While Luo Yun was indeed not a good person, it was undeniable that her life had also been quite miserable. Therefore, she really held no good feelings for Luo Dashan. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to apologize.¡± Bai Qihan said calmly, ¡°I will head back to my meeting now.¡± Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Luo Yun sighed. Oh no, he seems to have misunderstood me and thought that I did not want to appear together with him. In all honesty, she really just did not want him to go to such places where most of the eventgoers would be staring at him with disdainful gazes. Luo Yun threw her phone on the bed and gritted her teeth in anger. Doesn¡¯t Luo Dashan want us to go to the birthday celebration? Alright, I hope they can withstand my birthday wishes! In the blink of an eye, the day of the birthday banquet had arrived. The banquet would begin at eight in the evening, and Luo Yun had to be there an hour earlier. Bai Qihan¡¯s assistant, Qiu Ming, was the first to contact her. He was careful with his words and told her to pay attention to the time and not to make her husband wait too long. Qiu Ming could not be blamed for reminding her of this. The original Luo Yun did not have a great sense of time and often made Bai Qihan wait for her for a long time. However, the current Luo Yun was different. As a respected doctor of her world, she always held time of great importance. How could she be late? Luo Yun had already started preparing. She opened the cloakroom and picked out a wine-red dress. The slim design made her look especially tall and slender. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin was fair, her face was pretty, her figure was slender, and most importantly, she was young. Before she was transmigrated into the book, she had spent nearly all her time immersed in medicine. She had never had the time to dress herself up like this. Unfortunately, the life experience of the original owner suppressed such a beauty to the point of inferiority and sensitivity. Her character had been particularly lacking. In addition, she did not study much and was not smart enough in this world filled with conniving people. Luo Yun straightened her back and reached out to touch her face in the mirror. ¡°Since I¡¯ve been sent here, I¡¯ll definitely live your life well for you.¡± At half past six, Luo Yun finished packing and arrived beside Bai Qihan¡¯s car on time. Qiu Ming, who was opening the car door, was stunned for a few seconds when he saw Luo Yun. He was wondering why the madam had such a cold yet beautiful temperament today. However, these thoughts were fleeting. He quickly retracted his gaze and extended his hand to invite the madam to get into the car. Luo Yun thanked him and got into the car. She looked at the time and smiled at the man sitting next to her. ¡°I¡¯m on time.¡± When she said this, she was like a child who was asking for praise. Her curved eyebrows were especially cute. Bai Qihan moved his gaze away from his documents and saw her face. He was a little stunned. The girl tied her long hair up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbones. Her makeup was very clean. Her thin eyebrows were matched with earth-colored eye makeup. The corners of her eyes, which were originally slightly drooping, were outlined with eyeliner to form an upward arc, making her a bit more charming. Her lips were covered in dark red lipstick. The wine-red dress accentuated her snow-white skin, making it shine and look delicate. Coupled with the advantages brought by her figure, she was beautiful no matter how one looked at her. With just one look, one would find themselves infatuated with her for quite some time. Luo Yun had spent two hours on her makeup and had even searched for tutorials on the internet. After all, how could she go to the Luo family without a strong presence? Luo Yun was very satisfied with his results. Naturally, she also noticed the surprise that flashed across Bai Qihan¡¯s dark eyes. She slightly pursed her lips and smiled. Bai Qihan turned around and looked at his documents again. ¡°Do I look good today?¡± Luo Yun¡¯s crisp voice rang in his ear, her tone full of anticipation. Bai Qihan paused for a moment before he replied with an ¡°Mm-hm.¡± Luo Yun snorted, ¡°How perfunctory! You did not even take a look at me properly! You¡¯re just speaking with your eyes closed!¡± Qiu Ming, who was driving in the front, suddenly became restless. What is wrong with the madam today? She¡¯s even flirting with the young master? I didn¡¯t hear wrongly, did I? This was something that had never happened before. Ever since he was young, no woman would not admire Bai Qihan¡¯s looks and wisdom. However, when they thought about his disability, those rich young ladies would still choose to stay away from him. As the fourth master grew older and became more powerful in the business world, no one dared to be presumptuous in front of him. The corners of Luo Yun¡¯s lips curled upward, and the smile in her eyes deepened. He seems to be a little shy¡­ Since that¡¯s the case, I should put in some more effort. It¡¯s much easier for a woman to chase after a man. She moved closer, right next to his ear, and then deliberately lowered her voice. Her tone was soft and slow, and she breathed into his red ears. ¡°Why are you still not looking at me? What are you looking at?¡± She deliberately dragged out the last syllable. Her best friend had once taught her that intimate physical contact was good for cultivating feelings and that a coquettish tone was more likely to move people. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Bai Qihan¡¯s hand, which was on the document, clenched so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His breathing rate had obviously increased. ¡°It¡¯s a project plan.¡± After saying that, he abruptly raised his head. Luo Yun did not expect him to suddenly look at her, and she was immediately met with a pair of cold and deep eyes. The two of them looked at each other for a while. His face came closer and stopped about a centimeter away from the tip of her nose. They were so close that it almost looked like they were stuck together. Luo Yun¡¯s hand rested on the seat. As she looked into his deep eyes, many flustered thoughts emerged in her heart. D-does¡­ Does he want to¡­ As soon as this thought appeared in her head, she felt a slight pain on her chin before she could blush shyly. Bai Qihan pressed on her chin and ran his finger across it. ¡°You didn¡¯t apply the foundation evenly on your face.¡± Luo Yun was speechless. She hurriedly took out her makeup mirror and looked at it. Her chin did indeed seem to be a little uneven! She quickly touched up her makeup. Bai Qihan lowered his head and continued to look at the project proposal. His side profile was perfect, and his shirt collar was neat and tidy. He even matched it with a collar pin to show his respect. Every detail of his outfit was exquisite. Luo Yun put away the powder and took out a small box to match her earrings. She was a little late just now, so she was preparing to do it in the car. She had only managed to put on the one on her left ear, but as for her right ear¡­ Due to her injury, it was difficult to keep her hands raised for extended periods of time as they doing do brought her some pain. She looked at the man beside her and said in a clear voice, ¡°Can you help me put on my earring?¡± ¡°Just try a few more times.¡± Bai Qihan rejected her sternly. ¡°I¡¯ve already tried many times. My wound is starting to really hurt¡­ There¡¯s only one left. Please help me,¡± Luo Yun said with a wronged expression. Qiu Ming, who was driving in front, was speechless. Did the madam hurt her brain? Why had she been flirting with the young master ever since the moment she got in the car? And she was so¡­ Brilliant? No matter what was said, getting a man to help you put on your earrings is an extremely brilliant way of flirting with men. She could easily retreat, attack, and defend. Luo Yun reached out and tugged at Bai Qihan¡¯s sleeve, shaking it slightly. She was really begging at this point, ¡°I can¡¯t possibly only wear one earring when I reach the Luo family, right? That¡¯s impolite.¡± Bai Qihan held her earlobe with one hand and looked up expressionlessly. He picked up the earring in Luo Yun¡¯s hand with the other. He tried to attach it, but the design of the little thing was rather complicated. He tried a few times but failed to put it on. He could not help but get closer. From this angle, Bai Qihan could see her slender neck, her delicate collarbones, her fair skin, as well as the arcs below that rose and fell with her breathing. At this moment, someone ran a red light in front of them, forcing Qiu Ming to abruptly brake. Luo Yun¡¯s body was unstable, and her lips brushed past Bai Qihan¡¯s as a result of the sudden stopping of the car. For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen. Bai Qihan¡¯s hand involuntarily tightened. Luo Yun gasped and frowned. ¡°You¡¯re hurting me.¡± Bai Qihan turned his face away and suddenly said in a deep voice, ¡°Qiu Ming, do you know how to drive? Did you buy your driver¡¯s license?¡± Qiu Ming did not know what exactly had happened in the back seat, but he knew that he did deserve to be scolded for the situation. Bai Qihan¡¯s legs were disabled, so he was very strict with his driver. He had to ensure that the driver did not spill a single drop of water while driving. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, fourth master. There was a car that ran the red light in front of us.¡± Qiu Ming quickly explained. Bai Qihan did not pursue the matter any further. He retracted his hand and said to Luo Yun, ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± ¡°Thank you!¡± Luo Yun touched her earlobe. She wondered what exactly happened, wondering why her ears felt quite hot, so much such that they even felt like they were burning. At seven in the evening, Bai Qihan¡¯s car arrived at the Luo family¡¯s residence. Luo Yun was the first to get out of the car. However, when she stood at the entrance of the Luo family¡¯s residence, she suddenly felt an inexplicable fear. It was her body¡¯s natural reaction. Just how badly was the original Luo Yun bullied that her body would have such a reaction even after her soul had already left? When she came back to her senses, she saw Qiu Ming pushing Bai Qihan¡¯s wheelchair. She wanted to help, but Qiu Ming dodged her easily. He said gently and politely, ¡°Madam, it is not convenient for you to push the wheelchair since you¡¯re dressed so well today. Please allow me.¡± In fact, deep down, Qiu Ming did not dare to let Luo Yun touch the fourth master¡¯s wheelchair. He could not guarantee that this woman would not do something as outrageous as the last time. After all, in his opinion, Luo Yun was very terrifying right now; she did not seem to be in her normal state of mind at all. Previously, she had suddenly let go when she was pushing the fourth master¡¯s wheelchair downhill the last time. If it had not been for the emergency brake that the wheelchair had, the fourth master¡¯s life would have truly been in danger. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun was no fool. After all, she was once a medical genius. No matter what was said, she had a high IQ. Naturally, she could see the wariness behind Qiu Ming¡¯s gentle smile. At this moment, some bad memories appeared in her mind. She awkwardly retracted her hand. ¡°Alright, be careful.¡± ¡°I will. Please rest at ease.¡± Qiu Ming said with a professional smile. Luo Yun followed behind them, feeling a little down. This was because the original Luo Yun had done a lot of unreasonable things in the past. She had even threatened Bai Qihan¡¯s safety many times. It seemed that Bai Qihan would definitely be on guard against her. However, her downcast state immediately switched to hostility when she saw Luo Dashan and his wife. ¡°Little Han, Little Yun, you¡¯ve come back.¡± When Yu Xia saw Bai Qihan, her expression changed and she smiled kindly, ¡°Your dad was just talking about you guys. He was afraid that you guys would be busy with work and would not have the time to come. I knew it. You are indeed filial and ultimately made some time to come visit.¡± Yu Xia¡¯s voice was rather piercing. She had a kind and amiable smile, her facial features were very thin, and her cheekbones were raised particularly high. However, there clearly looked to be about half a kilogram of foundation on her face that was about to fall off. ¡°We got stuck in some traffic on the way here, so we were delayed for some time.¡± The outward image that Bai Qihan displayed was still the same as always. No matter who he was facing, he would give out a polite and proper image. Luo Yun was silent. Yu Xia sized her up a few times, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Why is this little b*tch¡¯s aura so oppressive? She does not resemble the submissive and unpresentable person that she used to be at all. Could it be that the fengshui of the Bai family is really just that good for those who join it? But that does not make much sense either. If that were the case, then how did Bai Qihan end up crippled? She smiled and said, ¡°Little Yun, why don¡¯t you say hello to anyone? Although you have indeed already been married off, you can¡¯t just forget about your family. We were the ones who raised you, after all.¡± Luo Yun smiled. ¡°When I see people, I naturally greet them.¡± She deliberately emphasized the word ¡°people¡± as she looked at Yu Xia with a smile. Yu Xia did not react in the beginning. After all, what kind of waves could a little sl*t that she had suppressed while growing up cause? However, when she saw the ridicule hidden under Luo Yun¡¯s gentle face, she immediately understood. Luo Yun had actually dared to say that she was not human in a roundabout way right in front of everyone? Yu Xia could not hold back her anger and immediately turned to Luo Dashan and said, ¡°Dashan, look at this daughter of yours¡­¡± ¡°Qiu Ming, bring out the gift.¡± Bai Qihan interrupted her. Qiu Ming quickly stepped forward and handed the gift to Bai Qihan. After receiving the gift, Bai Qihan passed it to Luo Dashan with a respectful expression on his face. ¡°This is Mr. Qi¡¯s [Shrimp]. I heard that you admire Mr. Qi¡¯s paintings very much, so I specially prepared this as a present to you for your birthday.¡± Luo Dashan was a nouveau riche in his early years and had always been ridiculed for being uncultured. As he grew older, he began to learn the ways of appreciating art, and he tried to become more cultured. As a result of that, he had acquired the hobby of collecting things. Now that he was seeing such a precious painting right before his eyes, he had to take some time to calm himself down before saying, ¡°Is this Mr. Qi¡¯s original work? Wouldn¡¯t it fetch a sky-high price?¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes flickered with disgust, but that disgust disappeared in an instant. His voice, when he spoke, remained gentle. ¡°I bought it from his grandson. It¡¯s definitely authentic. As for the price, that is merely a number.¡± ¡°Of course, of course¡­¡± Luo Dashan¡¯s eyes had almost disappeared from his face from how big his smile was. ¡°Little Han, you¡¯re truly so kind. I shall immediately get someone to mount it up in my study. I shall look at it every day. Anyhow, there is still an hour before the banquet begins. As such, I will have to trouble you to wait a little longer, Little Han.¡± At the perfect timing, Qiu Ming took hold of the conversation and said, ¡°Master Luo, our young master still has a lot of work to do. He had specially taken out some time from his work in order to come and congratulate you on your birthday banquet wholeheartedly. Once more guests arrive, things may become rather inconvenient. Regardless, when he has some free time in the future, I will make sure to arrange some time for you and him to share your insights on art appreciation.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Luo Dashan¡¯s mind was filled with the exorbitant [Shrimp] piece that was gifted to him. Before he could understand what Qiu Ming meant, Bai Qihan had already turned around. He did not dare to stop them, so he could only hurriedly say, ¡°Little Yun, you should stay for a while longer. You rarely come home.¡± This was his birthday banquet. If neither his daughter or son-in-law were present, that would be very embarrassing for him. Moreover, Bai Qihan¡¯s status in the business world had improved significantly ever since he and Luo Yun got married last year. Naturally, he could not let go of this big tree. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll stay,¡± Luo Yun slightly smiled as she said. Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Bai Qihan heard this, his hand, which was on his wheelchair, froze for a moment. However, he did not say a thing. ¡°Hubby.¡± Luo Yun suddenly turned around and smiled at him. She went to push his wheelchair and said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the car first.¡± After saying that, before Qiu Ming could react, she pushed his wheelchair away. She could not let herself be discouraged; she had to fight for everything herself. If she gave up without even trying, that would not fit her usual style, and it would truly be a pity. Although Luo Yun insisted, Qiu Ming was scared out of his wits. He quickly followed after her and grabbed the side of the wheelchair. ¡°Madam, please allow me to carry out this kind of physical work.¡± However, Luo Yun did not let go of the wheelchair and said with a firm tone, ¡°When we came, you were the one who pushed his wheelchair. Now that we¡¯re returning, it¡¯s naturally my turn. One chance for each person; this is fair.¡± Qiu Ming was confused. He had no idea what was going on in the madam¡¯s head. Since when had they established that they were playing such a game? ¡°Special Assistant Qiu, I am Bai Qihan¡¯s wife. It is my responsibility to take care of him,¡± Luo Yun continued. ¡°When I¡¯m not around, I do need to trouble you to do so, but when I¡¯m around, just leave such things to me.¡± Qiu Ming was speechless. He wondered what was wrong with this woman who was practically taking away his job from him. ¡°Can we go?¡± Bai Qihan pinched the space between his eyebrows as he spoke. ¡°Of course! Let¡¯s go.¡± Luo Yun¡¯s mood was instantly lifted. Bai Qihan had not rejected her right away. This was an improvement! Love was so easily attainable. She pushed him, her steps careful and cautious. Qiu Ming stood cautiously at the side, trembling with fear. He was afraid that Luo Yun would suddenly cause trouble. However, after watching her for some time, he saw that she really did not have any malicious intentions, and his anxious heart slowly relaxed. ¡°I¡¯ll get the driver to pick you up later.¡± Halfway through, Bai Qihan suddenly said, ¡°Call him if you need anything.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Yun replied obediently, ¡°I¡¯ll be good here. I¡¯ll be back hom soon. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Mm,¡± replied Bai Qihan. Luo Yun watched the black Maybach leave, and then she headed back to the birthday celebration. The banquet had already started. She took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of barbecued meat. She was suddenly hungry. ¡°Uncle, is the steak ready?¡± ¡°Three more minutes.¡± The chef was hired by the Luo family at a high price. He was not a servant of the Luo family, so he naturally did not know Luo Yun. Seeing that she was beautiful, he eagerly said, ¡°I¡¯ll make sure to leave you the freshest and juiciest cut.¡± ¡°Thank you, uncle.¡± After waiting for the steak to be ready, Luo Yun smoothly picked up her cut of steak and then looked around. She picked a bit of fruit and added it to her plate. Then, she found a decent location and was about to enjoy the food when someone suddenly gave her a forceful pat on the back. As she was unprepared, the forceful pat caused her body to jolt forward, resulting in her fork shallowly piercing her lips. At this moment, some blood could be seen flowing out from the wound on her lips, while the tender piece of steak that she was just about to put in her mouth was now on the ground. ¡°Oh, I was wondering who this was. So it was you, Luo Yun. Did you come here to secretly eat some food? Does the Bai family not give you any food, so you came here to the Luo family to beg for food? Are you a beggar?¡± A mean and unruly female voice sounded behind her. Luo Yun raised her handkerchief to her lips and wiped her lips. She stood up and looked at the person who had come. She was the youngest daughter of the Luo family, Luo Ziqiong. She was 20 years old this year and had just started her first year at a university. As she was the youngest daughter, she had been pampered since she was young, and that had led to her developing an arrogant and domineering personality. Moreover, because she loved to eat sweet and oily things, she was on the plump side. She was 1.5 meters tall, and her face was full of pimples. Even the extremely expensive foundation she used could not cover them all up. Besides that, her luxurious clothes failed to provide her with any charm to speak of. Luo Yun retracted her gaze and looked indifferently at the blood on the handkerchief. Then, he looked at the steak on the ground and said in a lazy and cold voice, ¡°Pick it up.¡± ¡°What the hell did you just say? Who do you think you¡¯re talking to?¡± Luo Ziqiong looked at the person in front of her in shock. Luo Ziqiong had been jealous of Luo Yun ever since they were children. Although Luo Yun was an illegitimate daughter and did not fit in with the family, she was still pretty! She could never accept the fact that Luo Yun was prettier than her, so she had once cut Luo Yun¡¯s face with a knife. She bullied Luo Yun for fun every day, treating her no different from a toy. However, that same ¡°toy¡± that she always used to play around with actually dared to resist her now? ¡°You¡¯ve gotten quite brazen. You actually dare to raise your voice at me?! We only haven¡¯t seen each other for a few days, yet it looks like you¡¯ve forgotten all your manners and need to be taught a lesson!¡± Luo Ziqiong¡¯s eyes widened as her expression became twisted. Out of habit, she slapped Luo Yun. However, this time, before she could touch Luo Yun, she felt a sharp pain in her arm. Luo Yun had stabbed her raised arm with a fork, and blood immediately came pouring out! Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Ah!¡± Luo Ziqiong let out a miserable shriek. She could not believe what had just happened. She was baffled, wondering if the woman in front of her was still the same one that she had bullied, scolded, and insulted as she pleased in the past. However, the pain had driven her mad, leading her to pounce on Luo Yun while shouting, ¡°You b*tch! You f*cking stabbed me! I¡¯ll tear your face apart today! You just a little b*stard b*tch! You¡¯re even more despicable than your sl*tty mother!¡± Hearing Luo Ziqiong¡¯s words, Luo Yun frowned. She looked at Luo Ziqiong, who was pouncing toward her, and immediately dodged to the side. As Luo Yun had dodged to the side, Luo Ziqiong naturally missed her target. And this was just the beginning. As Lu Ziqiong stumbled past her, Luo Yun grabbed her hair and said in a cold voice, ¡°How many days have you gone without brushing your teeth? My nose is getting overwhelmed by all the sh*t coming from your mouth!¡± She increased the force she exerted in her grip, causing Luo Ziqiong to scream louder and louder. ¡°I was planning on leaving right after eating some food. Why did you have to come and provoke me? That was a fresh piece of steak that the chef grilled for me, and it was very fragrant. I did not even get to take a bite of it before you caused it to fall and be dirtied. Did your oh-so-great mother never teach you not to waste food?¡± As Luo Yun spoke, she pulled Luo Ziqiong by her hair and walked out. The swimming pool was right outside of the dining area. As she walked out, memories of the original Luo Yun being stripped naked by her sisters and being pushed into the swimming pool flashed in her mind. The suffocating feeling of nearly drowning in the water and the humiliation of being stripped naked made her feel uncomfortable even though she had only inherited this body. Luo Yun took a deep breath. Since Bai Qihan was not here, she did not have to worry about losing her image in front of him. A ¡°plop¡± sound could be heard as something heavy seemed to have fallen into the water. Luo Ziqiong had been pulled by her hair over to the poolside before being thrown into the cold pool water. When Luo Yun was studying medicine, she came across a certain senior sister. That person¡¯s boyfriend had an affair and was planning to use domestic violence on her. But then, in the end, that senior sister of hers stabbed her boyfriend twenty-one times. Each stab resulted in copious amounts of blood flowing out, but she had precisely avoided his vital parts so that he would remain alive. Ultimately, her boyfriend was merely diagnosed as slightly injured and her senior sister was not judged guilty! If it was not for her wanting to maintain a good image in Bai Qihan¡¯s mind, she would have given Luo Ziqiong a similar fate. ¡°Help me¡­ Dad¡­ Mom¡­¡± Luo Zi struggled in the water with all her might and screamed. Luo Yun, who was standing not far away, said indifferently, ¡°What¡¯s with all the drama? How deep can the water in the swimming pool be? You won¡¯t drown in there. Save your strength and climb out yourself.¡± She had agreed to stay because she had inherited the original Luo Yun¡¯s body. She believed that she had to let some people get to know the new Luo Yun. In addition, she had something important to announce tonight. She did not want to cause any trouble, nor did she want to step on these people. She just wanted to spend all her time and energy on Bai Qihan. The others were not important. As long as they did not bully or mess with her, she had no need to teach anyone a lesson on behalf of the original Luo Yun. However, since Luo Ziqiong had come looking for trouble with her today, she could not blame her for what happened. She saw Luo Ziqiong climb out of the swimming pool like a wet dog. She was vomiting out large mouthfuls of water, crying while holding her bleeding arm. Luo Yun licked the wound on her lips with the tip of her tongue and sneered. She then returned to the table and ate some fruit. However, before she could take a few bites, she saw Yu Xia walking toward her with several other people. Yu Xia¡¯s eyes were red from rage. ¡°How could you be so vicious?! How dare you push Little Qiong into the pool? It¡¯s your father¡¯s birthday party today. Do you want to embarrass him in front of our guests? Hurry up and get down on your knees and apologize to Little Qiong or I won¡¯t let you off!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the two bodyguards behind her immediately tried to pull her back. ¡°You think I¡¯m afraid of Bai Qihan? I¡¯m already giving the Bai family face by calling him fourth master,¡± Yu Xia said with a mocking expression. ¡°What is he without his family? A cripple, no matter how powerful he is, can he overturn the heavens? At your father¡¯s birthday banquet, did he still not have to listen to Old Master Bai¡¯s words and obediently come to your father¡¯s birthday celebration? Do you really think that you¡¯ve found a backer? Are you thinking of becoming absolutely lawless?! Why don¡¯t you take a proper look at yourself first and see if you¡¯re worthy!¡± The second daughter of the Luo family, Luo Zixue, added, ¡°Luo Yun, I¡¯ve realized that you¡¯re still as stupid as ever. Are you actually thinking of using a cripple who would never be able to stand up in his lifetime as you¡¯re backer? Do you think he¡¯s like Second Master Bai?¡± The second son of the Bai family was Bai Qijun, the second eldest brother of Bai Qihan. He was also the person with the highest status in the Bai family. He was famous for being akin to the king of hell. He had a bad temper and was ruthless, and he never hid the fact that he was such. ¡°Even if Bai Qihan can¡¯t stand, he¡¯s still better than a good-for-nothing like you who only knows how to eat old people!¡± Luo Yun was enraged. She could be scolded, but she would not allow anyone to insult Bai Qihan in front of her. ¡°What are you all looking at? Take her to the attic.¡± Seeing more and more people gather, Yu Xia stomped her feet in anger and ordered the bodyguards to move. Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation A black Mayback drove into the night. Bai Qihan had already called the driver and told the driver to wait for Luo Yun at the entrance of the Luo family¡¯s residence. He put down the phone and pressed his finger against his forehead. ¡°Why hasn¡¯t there been any progress with the project in the development zone?¡± Qiu Ming immediately reported, ¡°Our partner suddenly changed their terms and said that they wanted to speak with the old master face-to-face.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qihan slowly raised his head, the expression on his face turning cold. ¡°If they want to go back on their word, then they must pay the corresponding price. I don¡¯t need to teach you how to do this, do I?¡± The temperature in the car suddenly dropped, and Qiu Ming could feel a chill run down his back. ¡°They can either talk to me or the deal is off.¡± Bai Qihan said, ¡°There is no third option.¡± ¡°I will convey your intentions.¡± Qiu Ming drove the car steadily. In the end, Qiu Ming changed the topic and said, ¡°Fourth master, you are truly generous. You actually gave away an original work of Mr. Qi just like that.¡± ¡°Heh, that was a fake.¡± Bai Qihan said calmly, ¡°His grandson knew that I was interested, so he gave me a painting he drew. Only a few of Mr. Qi¡¯s original works have been preserved. He does not even have many of them with him. The rest are in art galleries.¡± ¡°It was a gift from you. There is no difference whether it¡¯s real or fake,¡± Qiu Ming quickly added. Even if it was fake, no one would dare to say anything. When Bai Qihan heard his assistant¡¯s words, he only chuckled and did not say anything else. At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Qiu Ming put on his bluetooth earbud and answered the call. After he hung up, he said, ¡°Fourth master, the madam, at the Luo family¡­ She had an argument with her family.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s face remained bereft of any expression. This kind of thing happened all the time. He tidied his sleeves and had no intention of interfering. ¡°If you do not want to be bullied, then you must become stronger. That is the only way that you can be useful. Those who had it in them could stand without any backing.¡± Out of a sense of responsibility, he had secretly helped her a few times. However, some people were born without a spine and could stand up with someone¡¯s help. Once they were let go, their true colors would be revealed. All these years in the Bai family, he had been ignored and looked down on by others. He had gotten to where he was today by himself. No one had helped him. Only when he became stronger could he be treated differently. ¡°But this time¡­ It was a little different.¡± Qiu Ming slowly regained his senses after having fallen into disbelief and said, ¡°The driver told me that the madam had stabbed her sister¡¯s arm with a fork and threw her into the water. She even slapped her second sister twice. The entire Luo family is in a mess right now.¡± Bai Qihan was confused. ¡°???¡± Meanwhile, inside the Luo family¡¯s attic. ¡°Hit her legs and make her kneel down!¡± Yu Xia¡¯s body trembled with anger. She wished she could eat Luo Yun alive right now. While they were arguing, Luo Zixue had been slapped twice on the face by Luo Yun for insulting Bai Qihan. She had been so stunned that she had forgotten to fight back. But now that she had recovered, a violent rage erupted from within her. She covered her face with one of her hands and shouted, ¡°Hold this little b*tch down. She actually dared to hit me?! I want to smash her face!¡± Although Luo Yun knew some self-defense skills and knew of acupuncture points, she could not handle so many people on her own. She was held down by the bodyguards and forced to kneel. The bodyguard did not give Luo Yun a chance to react. He kicked her leg and forced Luo Yun down to the ground. Luo Zixue rushed in front of Luo Yun and got ready to attack her. At that moment, Luo Yun touched his hair clip and was ready to counterattack. If Luo Zixue dared to touch her today, she would fight back. ¡°Don¡¯t hit her face.¡± Yu Xia suddenly said, ¡°Today is your father¡¯s birthday. If you beat her face and bruises appear, rumors will come up after others see her.¡± ¡°Mother is right. However, this little b*tch won¡¯t know her place without a good lesson. She married a cripple and still dares to behave atrociously in the Luo family!¡± Luo Zixue glared at Luo Yun. With just a glance, she immediately recognized the dress that Luo Yun was wearing was a limited edition dress for this summer that one could not buy even if they had the money. When she looked at Luo Yun¡¯s makeup today, she saw that she had left her and her sisters in the dust. This was also what she hated most about Luo Yun. The b*stard was actually more beautiful than them! However, looking at the current Luo Yun, Luo Zixue also realized a problem. Luo Yun had married into the Bai family and was leading a good life! She found this absolutely intolerable. She gritted her teeth, her face full of anger and unwillingness. ¡°Xue¡¯er, most of the guests have arrived. I have to go and entertain them. I¡¯ll leave this place to you. Just like before, don¡¯t leave any traces in conspicuous places.¡± Yu Xia looked at the time. She could not stay any longer. At the same time, she was glad that many important figures had yet to arrive. If everything had happened a bit later, then she would really have lost a lot of face. ¡°I understand. I¡¯ll make sure to teach this wench a lesson and help Little Qiong vent her anger!¡± A sinister smile emerged on Luo Zixue¡¯s face. But then, out of nowhere, a cold male voice suddenly responded to her, ¡°Who are you going to teach a lesson?¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Bai Qihan slowly came through the door in his wheelchair, followed by Luo Dashan, who had a defeated look on his face. ¡°What are you guys doing? Even if you sisters want to quarrel, there should be a limit. Hurry and help your sister up. The banquet is about to begin. You need to immediately head down.¡± Obviously, Luo Dashan wanted to downplay this matter. It was not that he did not know how Luo Yun had been living in the Luo family all these years, but this time, her sisters had really gone too far. If Bai Qihan were to find out about everything, he would have nowhere to put his face Luo Yun was about to get up, but when she heard Luo Dashan¡¯s words, she immediately fell to the ground and put on a delicate and innocent look. Yu Xia adopted the attitude of a matriarch, ¡°Little Yun seems to have been rather irascible recently, and she seems to be unable to bear hearing the harsh truth from others. Little Qiong and Xue¡¯er had only said a few casual words to her, but then she actually threw her sister into the swimming pool and slapped her. They are biological sisters, so there was no need for her to go that far. I¡¯d also like to see how you¡¯d resolve this conflict!¡± ¡°So you forced her to kneel down?¡± Bai Qihan raised his head and looked at her coldly. Yu Xia was at a loss for words. She really did not expect Bai Qihan to suddenly come back just to help the little b*tch. She found herself questioning if she had really gone too far this time. ¡°She fell down onto the ground on her own.¡± Yu Xia¡¯s expression did not change. She raised her head and looked straight into Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Besides, she was the one who attacked my daughter first. According to the Luo family¡¯s rules, it is understandable for her to kneel. Even if she has been married off, she is still a member of the Luo family, so as long as she is in the Luo family, she has to follow the rules.¡± ¡°Follow the rules?¡± Bai Qihan repeated. His eyes fell on Luo Yun, who was lying on the ground, unable to stand up. His eyes darkened, and he reached out to adjust his collar. His expression was one of impatience, and his voice was as cold as ice. ¡°Luo Yun is indeed a member of the Luo family, but she married me. She¡¯s my wife. You attacked my wife, then now you tell me about¡­¡± Bai Hao looked around, and his gaze finally fell on Luo Dashan¡¯s face. Following some rules?¡± The last person who dared to lay a hand on his men, Lu Bei, had been sent to jail. Luo Dashan immediately jumped out to try and smooth things over again. ¡°It¡¯s normal for sisters to have conflicts. We¡¯re a family. However, it¡¯s bad for everyone if it gets out of hand. Why don¡¯t you let just Xue¡¯er apologize to Little Yun?¡± ¡°Dad, I don¡¯t want to apologize! Luo Yun slapped me twice, and I haven¡¯t even gotten to slap her back yet! Besides, it was mom who made her kneel, not me. Why should I apologize? If someone had to apologize, it should be mom.¡± As soon as Luo Zixue finished speaking, Luo Dashan and Yu Xia glared at her. Luo Yun lay on the ground and thought, ¡°Hahaha! These two daughters of Yu Xia aren¡¯t that intelligent, are they? They¡¯re just two big fleshy bags of burden. Just how stupid was the original Luo Yun that she got bullied by such people?¡± She did not have a high opinion of the eldest daughter Luo Zihan based on the impression she got from these two. For a moment, the atmosphere had become rather tense. Bai Qihan¡¯s body was slightly tilted. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and two hands were interlocked. He did not make a sound, placing a lot of pressure on Luo Dashan. Luo Dashan had no choice but to help Luo Yun up from the ground carefully. ¡°Little Yun, tell me, how do you want to deal with this?¡± At this moment, he long wanted to have the problem solved. If he continued to waste time, he would lose all his face by not appearing in his own birthday banquet. He could not offend Bai Qihan right now. The Luo family¡¯s project still needed his approval. Luo Yun slowly stood up from the ground. It was finally her turn to perform. She patted the non-existent dust off her body and said, ¡°Agh¡­ I¡¯m a little dizzy. Can you get me a chair so I can sit down¡­¡± Luo Dashan was speechless. He obediently dragged a chair over and placed it next to Bai Qihan. Luo Yun sat down and turned to look at Bai Qihan. Her eyes were misty, and her face looked a little disheveled and aggrieved. But then, Bai Qihan did not even look at her! This slightly angered her. She cleared her throat and said, ¡°Well, since dad has already asked me how I want to deal with this matter, then I¡¯ll say it straight. I can let Luo Zixue and Luo Ziqiong go for now. However, Yu Xia told me to kneel down, and the two bodyguards kicked my leg. My leg was injured, and I can¡¯t simply let this matter go. As such, as long as Yu Xia kneels down and apologizes to me, the two bodyguards are fired, and I am compensated for my medical expenses, I will let today¡¯s matter go.¡± ¡°Little Yun, Yu Xia is your elder,¡± Luo Dashan said hurriedly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of being struck by lightning if you ask an elder of yours to kneel before you?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, even if my own mother were to kneel before me today, I would not be afraid of being struck by lightning! Much less Yu Xia! Moreover, from today onwards, there will no longer be any elders or juniors. Since everyone¡¯s here today and the timing is practically perfect, I¡¯ll be frank with all of you; I stayed behind today to celebrate your birthday one last time and to sever ties with the Luo family.¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun¡¯s words silenced the entire room. Even Bai Qihan was stunned. However, Luo Yun¡¯s face was firm. ¡°I¡¯m not asking for your opinion. I am merely informing you of what will happen. I will declare all my rights to any inheritance forfeit. Naturally, you will have to abandon any support from me as well. After this, we will no longer be legally related.¡± Yu Xia was stunned for a while. She slowly recovered from her stupor, still questioning if she had heard correctly. ¡°Luo Yun, is your heart made of cold steel? Your father took care of you for over ten years. Do you really think that you can sever relations with your family just because you want to? You really are no different from a white-eyed wolf that bites the hand that fed it!¡± Upon hearing this, Luo Yun laughed out loud. ¡°Took care of me for over ten years? You really have quite the gall to be saying that. Do you think that providing a mouthful of food and a bed is all that it takes to raise someone? Fine, I can count that as you raising me, but then what about all the work you¡¯ve made me do all these years? I slept later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken. There were servants at home, but I could never finish the mountain of work I was given and even had to endure endless bullying. The clothes I wore were the ones you guys were prepared to throw away. As for my living expenses, I had to squeeze out a little time every day to work part-time outside just so that I could have some money. Then, because the school fees were too expensive, you forced me to drop out? And may I just ask, what did you feed me?¡± In the end, Luo Yun seemed to resonate with the original Luo Yun, who had suffered all kinds of grievances in this place; or rather, she found herself able to feel the pain that the original Luo Yun had suffered. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about the past anymore. I¡¯ll get my lawyer to talk to you. So, Yu Xia, consider it carefully. Are you going to kneel down and apologize to me or not?¡± Yu Xia was speechless. Bai Qihan finally looked at her. Is this still the same Luo Yun? Decisive, sharp-tongued, and logical? Luo Yun felt his gaze and showed him an indescribable smile. She stood up from her chair. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to apologize, that¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not that bent on settling all accounts. In exchange, you simply need to compensate me with more money. Everyone, do you have any more questions?¡± She asked as she looked around. At this moment, she was like a queen. ¡°Are you not going to say anything? Then I¡¯ll be taking your silence as agreement.¡± Luo Yun clapped her hands. ¡°Alright. You just have to wait for the bill and declaration, and that¡¯s that.¡± She then placed her hand on Bai Qihan¡¯s wheelchair and her tone immediately softened. ¡°Honey, let¡¯s go.¡± Just like that, Luo Yun pushed Bai Qihan away. Back in the car, Luo Yun suddenly started crying. ¡°I¡­ Never wanted to make a big deal out of this¡­ It¡¯s just that today¡­ They went too far¡­¡± She bit her lip and moved closer to Bai Qihan. ¡°Look at my lips; it¡¯s injured¡­¡± ¡°Then we should quickly get you to the hospital,¡± said Bai Qihan softly. ¡°Otherwise, we can just wait for it to heal.¡± Luo Yun was speechless. ¡°It really hurt back then. I was thrilled that I could finally have some food, but then I ended up not being able to eat anything. Luo Ziqiong had suddenly run over and pushed me, causing the fork to nearly pierce my throat. It was really dangerous,¡± she said as she gestured to her throat. ¡°Also, that steak was freshly made. The chef even specially gave it to me¡­¡± Now that she brought this matter up, she discovered that she still felt a little angry. Her fresh and delicious steak¡­ ¡°So you violently grabbed her hair and threw her into the swimming pool?¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s tone was hard to decipher when he said that. ¡°I¡­ I just failed to control my strength¡­ Luo Ziqiong was just too wasteful!¡± Luo Yun said angrily. ¡°Then you slapped your second sister two times? What was it for?¡± Bai Qihan suddenly wanted to hear what other reasons she had. Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, ¡°She had a loose mouth. She was speaking badly about you. I simply could not accept it.¡± Bai Qihan finally understood. He had grown up in the midst of all these cold words. He had already become numb to these things. ¡°I hit her for your sake. So, I was not being unreasonable.¡± Luo Yun moved closer and leaned on his shoulder. She said carefully, ¡°You won¡¯t blame me, will you?¡± Bai Qihan turned around and stared at her. In the dark, only the girl¡¯s small and delicate outline could be seen, as well as the tears in her eyes. She had fought with someone else for his sake? She was now doing things that she would never have done in the past. Moreover, she even declared that she wanted to sever all ties with the Luo family in their residence and right in front of him today. It was truly shocking. Could it be that he had never really truly understood her? Was everything that had happened to her in the past, when she was weak and constantly bullied, merely lies? Or could it be that right now, she had put on another mask? Luo Yun blinked and looked at him sincerely. Her words came from the bottom of her heart; she was not lying. Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I won¡¯t blame you for what you did. On the contrary, I¡¯d like to thank you for your actions.¡± Even though Bai Qihan was saying thank you, his expression remained cold. Luo Yun pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°I have to thank you as well. If you had not come back for me, I would have been bullied by them today.¡± After Bai Qihan found out that she had caused a ruckus at the Luo family¡¯s residence, he pushed back his upcoming transnational meeting and headed back to the Luo family¡¯s residence because of what she did. ¡°Since you¡¯re married to me, I¡¯ll definitely fulfill my responsibility as your legal husband.¡± Luo Yun lowered her gaze. Was everything really just because of his sense of responsibility as my husband? ¡°Won¡¯t you regret cutting ties with the Luo family? ¡± After a moment of silence, Bai Qihan suddenly said. ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Luo Yun¡¯s tone was firm. ¡°I¡¯ve thought about it the entire day¡­ Ah, no, what I meant was that I¡¯ve been thinking about it for a long time now. And today, I finally made the decision that I want to be myself.¡± Bai Qihan fell deep in thought as he heard her answer. ¡°Oh, right, hubby, I have a question to ask you.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°How did you learn about what happened to the Luo family so quickly? And you even came in such a timely manner?¡± After a short pause, she asked, ¡°Do you have an insider in the Luo family?¡± She remembered that the original book mentioned that the Luo family had been under Bai Qihan¡¯s care before it went bankrupt. Therefore, she believed that he must have spies in the Luo family. Otherwise, how could a chauffeur who was waiting outside know so much? As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qihan¡¯s gaze turned sharp. It suddenly felt as if the temperature had dropped several degrees. ¡°You can trust me.¡± Luo Yun looked at him, her eyes full of sincerity. ¡°No matter what happens, I will always be on your side. I¡¯ll advance and retreat with you. I will definitely not have second thoughts. You said it yourself, I¡¯m yours.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s gaze returned to one of calm, and he said lightly, ¡°For some things, you won¡¯t benefit from knowing too much.¡± Luo Yun did not say anything. She knew that he was a cautious person and would not completely open his heart at this stage. After a while, she asked, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired. Can I lean on your shoulder and sleep for a while?¡± Before Bai Qihan could even say anything, the girl had already placed her head on his shoulder. He looked sideways and saw her curled eyelashes casting a shadow on her face. Her breathing grew lighter and lighter as if she was really falling asleep. A strand of her long hair fell on the tip of her nose, causing her to frown slightly. Bai Qihan raised his hand and moved the strand of long hair behind her head. He stared at her jade-like face and frowned slightly. He wondered what exactly had happened to be able to make someone change so much that he could barely see any semblance of her past self. ¡­ Once Luo Yun got back home, she took a warm bath. Afterward, she did not even bother drying her hair and went straight to bed. When she woke up, it was already two in the morning. She had woken up from hunger. When she was at the Luo family¡¯s residence, she had not been able to eat anything other than several fruits. As a result, she was now starving. Luo Yun rubbed her stomach and got up from the bed, preparing to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. When she got downstairs, she realized that the kitchen light was still on. She walked in and saw Bai Qihan in front of the fridge. He seemed to be trying to take something from the fridge, but he tried several times to no avail. ¡°What do you want? I¡¯ll help you.¡± Luo Yun immediately ran over. ¡°You want some water? I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± She got the water container from the layer of the refrigerator, bent down to the same level as him, then opened the lid and passed him the water. Last night, when she went to bed right after taking a shower, she had not put on any underwear. Because of that, when she bent down to pass the water to Bai Qihan with her collar free, her body was fully exposed to Bai Qihan. Bai Qihan took the water from her and turned to look at her. He thought for a moment and then looked at her with an unfriendly gaze. ¡°Are you always so casual in front of men?¡± Luo Yun: ¡°???¡± Do you hear yourself speaking? However, she quickly noticed where he was looking and came to a realization. She immediately straightened her body. Her face turned as red as a tomato. ¡°Of course not,¡± she replied. For a moment, the atmosphere became rather awkward. She did not know how to explain, so she changed the topic. ¡°Are there any dumplings here? I¡¯m a little hungry.¡± ¡°There¡¯s some in the fridge.¡± ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Luo Yun nodded. ¡°You didn¡¯t seem to have eaten anything tonight. Shall I cook some dumplings for you?¡± Although she did not know how to cook, she could still cook some simple things. ¡°No need.¡± Bai Qihan refused. He actually did not like to trouble others, as evidenced by earlier. He would rather come down to get water himself than trouble the butler. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach made an untimely sound. Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun smiled, and her gaze was just short of saying: Your body is more honest than your mouth! Of course. She did not actually say this out loud because she was worried that he would feel embarrassed. She only said, ¡°Let¡¯s eat together. I¡¯m going to cook some food anyway. I¡¯ll just cook a bit more.¡± Bai Qihan said, ¡°Twenty is enough for me.¡± Luo Yun hid the joy in her heart. Hehe, you still ended up agreeing in the end. She eagerly took out two packets of frozen dumplings and began to boil them in water. Ten minutes later, she turned off the flame and placed the dumplings on two plates. She had already mixed the condiments while boiling the dumplings. She then placed everything on the table. She subconsciously pinched her ears, looking like a lively little rabbit. Luo Yun took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Bai Qihan. ¡°Be careful. They¡¯re still hot.¡± Seeing Bai Qihan pick up a dumpling and dip it in the sauce, she quickly asked, ¡°How is it? Is it good?¡± Actually, frozen dumplings were already prepped before they were frozen, so as long as they were not overcooked, there should be no problem with their taste. However, Bai Qihan still nodded. Luo Yun did not care about the specifics. As long as Bai Qihan responded, she would be happy. With that, she happily ate the dumplings. However, when she took a big bite of one, the soup sprayed out, scalding her mouth. She stuck out her tongue and kept fanning it with her hand. ¡°So hot¡­¡± Then, she saw a bottle of water on the table. She picked it up and took a big gulp. However, after drinking it, she realized something. She turned her head and looked at Bai Qihan. ¡°Uhh¡­ I accidentally drank your water¡­¡± Bai Qihan said calmly, ¡°As long as you don¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my husband. Why would I mind?¡± Luo Yun smiled sweetly. Bai Qihan did not know how to respond to this, so he simply did not say anything and continued eating. Luo Yun put down the water, thinking of the fact that Bai Qihan had just drunk from it. Did that count as an indirect kiss? Her ears felt like they were heating up as she thought of that. Forget it. I should stop thinking about such things right now. I should just eat my dumplings in peace. If Bai Qihan were not here, she would probably even hold her stomach and burp out loud. Luo Yun stood up and said, ¡°Are you done eating? I¡¯ll send you up first, and then I¡¯ll clean up.¡± ¡°Leave this to the servants.¡± Bai Qihan glanced at her. Luo Yun nodded. She remembered now. She was now the wife of the fourth master of the Bai family, a noble lady with servants serving her. She was no longer the Luo Yun who was immersed in the laboratory and operating theater and could only rely on frozen food to satisfy her hunger. Luo Yun pushed Bai Qihan into the indoor elevator. When she opened the door to the side room, she could not help but sigh. It was indeed the standard of a boss. The room was only black, white, and gray. The decoration was simple but exquisite. She was a little shy because this was her first time entering the room of someone of the opposite sex. ¡°Shall I help you into bed?¡± Luo Yun looked at him. Before Bai Qihan could say anything, Luo Yun had already predicted what he would say. She then immediately spoke before he could say anything, ¡°Don¡¯t always reject me. You¡¯re making me lose face.¡± Ever since she opened her eyes in this world, this man had rejected her countless times. She had to pester him before he would reluctantly agree to anything she said. She had no experience in love, but when she interacted with her seniors in the laboratory, they never rejected her request. With that, she pushed the wheelchair to the bed. ¡°You said that you have responsibilities and obligations to me as my legal husband. Similarly, as your legal wife, I also have responsibilities and obligations to you. So you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. If there¡¯s anything you need me for, just tell me. Now, how do I help you lie on the bed?¡± ¡°Hold my arm.¡± Bai Qihan looked at her. ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Yunqing supported him. Bai Qihan placed one of his hands on the side of the bed and pushed himself up from the wheelchair to the bed. Although his lower body was paralyzed, he did not forget to exercise his upper body, so he was still very strong. He had never been a good-for-nothing who just waited for death. The dim lights of the room shone on his body. The black silk robe he was wearing reflected a flowing luster. His bangs hung on his forehead, and his face was handsome. When he lay on the bed, the cold and sharp aura that he flared out during the day had weakened by half. He became much more gentle and leisurely. He looked like someone who had come straight out of a comic book; he was really handsome. For a moment, Luo Yun was stunned. It was only when Bai Qihan noticed her burning gaze that she came back to her senses. She hurriedly let go of his hand and retreated. However, she did not expect to accidentally trip over his wheelchair. Her body was unsteady, and she fell forward. She subconsciously reached out to support herself, but she ended up right between his legs. In reality, some coincidences really seemed like they had been planned beforehand. Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun was embarrassed. She wanted to retract her arms, but her position left her rather unstable, so she could only prop herself up by pushing on his thighs. Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes locked onto her, his gaze deep and probing. Sometimes she¡¯s smart and powerful, sometimes she¡¯s innocent and naive, and sometimes she¡¯s a little stupid. It seemed as if she had carried out a well-thought-out scheme, but her eyes were filled with innocence. She did not seem to have any ulterior motives to her sudden change in attitude toward him. Luo Yun¡¯s face turned red from his deep gaze. She felt as if she was about to burn up. But this time, she really had not done it on purpose. Fortunately, she did not press on any important parts. There were some parts of his body that might no longer work due to his paralysis. If she had accidentally pressed on those parts¡­ That would simply be too sinful. ¡°Good night. I¡¯m going back to sleep.¡± Luo Yun hurriedly ran away because she really could not stand Bai Qihan¡¯s probing gaze any longer. Bai Qihan watched Luo Yun¡¯s back as she left the room, then he sat up again. He took out the book on brain research and continued to study it. Luo Yun returned to her room and plopped onto the bed. Thinking of the scene just now, she could not help but cover her face in embarrassment. She had no actual experience when it came to those things, and now she had to face a cold and aloof man like Bai Qihan. It seemed that no means were useful. Then, was her dream of hugging a handsome man going to be shattered? She buried her head in the blanket, her thoughts in a mess. She could not quite remember the main storyline of the original book, and the story had really only started two years later. Moreover, there were not that many mentions of Bai Qihan in the story. However, one thing was certain. At the end of the story, Bai Qihan was still in a wheelchair and disabled. Luo Yun felt a little melancholic. She suddenly missed her old master, Li Shi. She wondered how that bad-tempered old man was doing now. Because he was always busy operating on patients, he always failed to keep track of time and forgot to eat. As time passed, his stomach problems became quite serious. Without her around, no one would be there to remind him to eat. Also, had her senior sister returned from her trip? Senior Sister Li Zhenzhen was her master¡¯s biological daughter, but because she had no interest in medicine, she often went on trips around the world. She often disappeared and could not be contacted for long periods of time. She was an orphan. Because the principal of the orphanage she was in had the surname Luo, all the children in the orphanage received the surname Luo. The principal said that on the day she was picked up, there were no clouds in the sky, so she was named Luo Yun. She was only adopted by her master when she matured and began to study medicine. Her master, senior sisters, and senior brothers were all very good to her. Her senior sister treated her like her own sister. Every time she went out to play, she would bring all kinds of fun and delicious food back for her. Compared to the sisters that the Luo Yun of this world had in the Luo family, her senior sister was like an angel. With the beautiful memories of the past, Luo Yun fell into a deep sleep. Bai Qihan woke up very early. With the help of the butler, he finished washing up at five o¡¯clock. The butler had been taking care of him for more than twenty years after his parents passed away in an accident. ¡°Young master, did you not rest well last night?¡± The butler could tell that he did not look well this morning. ¡°Why don¡¯t you rest for a while longer?¡± Bai Qihan had read until three o¡¯clock last night. Having finished washing up by five meant that he had slept for less than two hours. However, he always woke up at five o¡¯clock, exercised, had breakfast, and arranged work. He had a strong sense of time, and he did not let anything ruin his plans. ¡°There¡¯s no need. We cannot delay the arrangements later.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The butler did not say anything else. Bai Qihan would have his breakfast at 5:15 am. Then, the butler would bring him around the villa before he went to the gym to exercise. After that, he started to deal with the documents and held a video conference at nine o¡¯clock. He would check the progress of projects, finding and solving problems in time. He had lived like this for many years, and it was especially so in the past two years. He had more and more work on hand, and the projects he completed became increasingly impactful. He was an outstanding talent in his generation of the Bai family, and the Bai family¡¯s old master valued him more and more. When Bai Qihan got back from his exercise, Luo Yun had just woken up. The two of them met in the dining area. Luo Yun first greeted him with a smile, ¡°Good morning, hubby.¡± ¡°Morning.¡± ¡°Are you going to the office today?¡± ¡°In the afternoon.¡± ¡°I have something I need your help with¡­¡± Luo Yun took a deep breath and was a little embarrassed. ¡°It¡¯s mainly because I¡¯m not very familiar with something.¡± ¡°Is it urgent?¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s gaze fell on the dining table. ¡°Then let¡¯s have breakfast first. We¡¯ll go to the study later.¡± It had to be said that Bai Qihan¡¯s aura was really quite overbearing when he spoke. Even when he restrained himself, the strength in his bones still managed to seep out and give out an intimidating aura. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In order not to waste Bai Qihan¡¯s time, Luo Yun quickly finished her meal and went upstairs to the study. Seeing that the door was ajar, she pushed it open a little and saw Bai Qihan on the phone. ¡°Alright, tell grandpa that I¡¯ll go back with her.¡± Bai Qihan put down the phone and looked at her. ¡°This weekend, you need to go to the Bai family¡¯s old residence with me.¡± Luo Yun walked in and asked, ¡°Is it a family banquet?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll prepare in advance.¡± ¡°What did you need me for?¡± Bai Qihan raised his head and asked. ¡°I need a lawyer who is very experienced in civil litigation to help me, especially one who is experienced in the field of parent and child obligations.¡± She frowned. ¡°I want to settle the Luo family¡¯s matter as soon as possible so that there won¡¯t be any more trouble in the future.¡± Most importantly, when Bai Qihan dealt with the Luo family in the future, she was worried that the Luo family would take advantage of her and she would become an obstacle for Bai Qihan. Bai Qihan looked at her for a long time before taking out a card from the cabinet in front of his desk. ¡°I¡¯ll inform Lawyer Xu in advance. You can consult him on any such matters.¡± Luo Yun received the card with both hands and nodded. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± She turned around and stopped delaying his work, but he suddenly called out to her. At this moment, she handed her a black card. ¡°This is for you.¡± Luo Yun was stunned. She was surprised that he was actually willing to give him money. Previously, Luo Yun had not done any work and only ever spent money. She even gave a lot of her money to Lu Bei. In the end, her account was frozen by the bank for illegally embezzling assets. ¡°You need money.¡± The authoritative explanation was simple and clear, but it hit her heart. Because after she came to this world, she realized that the original owner had left her with nothing but a mess! While she did have some medical skills, she had nowhere to put them to good use. She did not try to act pretentiously and directly accepted the card from Bai Qihan. She held the edge of the card and stood there thinking for a while. Then, she took the opportunity to make a request. ¡°I can¡¯t take your money for free. I¡¯ll pay you back accordingly.¡± ¡°There are servants attending to my daily life at home, and I already have a butler, chauffeur, and security.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s tone was calm. He really did not have anything he needed her to do. Besides, she was married to be his wife, not a servant. He was not an easy person to get along with in the business world, but he was not mean to his wife at home. Luo Yun quickly ran over and explained, ¡°I have a unique skill! One that servants can¡¯t do!¡± She then squatted down and stared straight into his eyes. She said solemnly, ¡°I know how to do some Eastern massage, and I know a bit of acupuncture. I¡¯ve learned these recently. Here, let me give you a sample¡­¡± She placed her hand on his lap and pressed down. ¡°¡­This can promote blood circulation.¡± Bai Qihan lowered his gaze, and a ripple appeared in them. ¡°See, I can take care of you too. I¡¯ll help you do this every day, ¡± Luo Yun said as he pressed her down. He indeed could not feel anything in his legs, but that did not mean that he could not feel elsewhere. Bai Qihan took a deep breath and held her slender wrist. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to be so persistent about such matters. That has little effect. You should go out now. I still have to work to do.¡± As time passed, she would probably run out of patience. He did not have much confidence in his legs being treated. He honestly believed that he would never be able to stand up again. He only exercised daily to prevent his muscles from deteriorating and to give himself more energy to devote himself to work and achieve something. Luo Yun did not insist. When she went downstairs, she ran into the butler. ¡°Uncle!¡± ¡°Greetings, madam.¡± The butler bowed respectfully. ¡°I would like to know more about my husband¡¯s condition. Can I see the doctor¡¯s diagnosis and follow-up rehabilitation plan?¡± Luo Yun asked sincerely. But in response, the butler revealed a wary and doubtful gaze. Luo Yun felt tired. Why doesn¡¯t anyone here have any trust in me? Even Bai Qihan doesn¡¯t believe that I care about him! Just how much of a failure was the original host of this body? ¡°I just want to know more about him so that I can take care of him in the future. I¡¯ve been married to Bai Qihan for over a year now, so I should take some responsibility. I was muddle-headed in the past, but I¡¯m sober now. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything bad again.¡± The butler stared at her with a pair of eyes that seemed to have seen through the world. He could see that there was only sincerity and determination in her eyes, so he did not make things difficult for her. He only said, ¡°The young master does not like being deceived nor people going back on their word.¡± ¡°I know!¡± Luo Yun said with certainty. ¡­ Bai Qihan¡¯s father was the second son of the Bai family¡¯s old master. When he came of age, he rejected the marriage alliance that was planned for him and married a girl he liked who had an ordinary background. The two of them had a wonderful marriage until a sudden car accident befell them when Bai Qihan was eight years old. Back then, Bai Qihan¡¯s parents had protected him, but both of them, unfortunately, died in the accident. Chapter 20 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although Bai Qihan managed to survive, he was also crippled for life. All these years, he had never given up on himself despite his disability. The mockery around him only made him stronger and cherish his life even more. It was his parents who had exchanged their lives for his. He despised all those who ignored belittled life. Therefore, after everything that happened with the original Luo Yun, he did not want to care about anything else and asked for a divorce. ¡°After his parents passed away, the young master had been receiving psychological guidance. He had been physically and mentally crippled and had a very difficult time. Fortunately, his willpower was strong, so he persevered. In the past few years, he had become increasingly influential in the business world.¡± The butler handed a stack of documents to Luo Yun. ¡°The diagnoses and follow-up rehabilitation plans are all here.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Luo Yun took the files and flipped through them. Just as she had expected, the car accident had resulted in severe nerve damage and rendered him permanently disabled. He had been diagnosed to never be able to stand up again. However, Luo Yun knew that this world¡¯s medical standards were different from her world. In her world, there was a neurosurgery team led by her master, Li Shi, who had done research in this area and had even succeeded! She looked at the words on the document and his past. Her heart ached for Bai Qihan, and she felt that she had been cruel to him. In her world, he had a chance to stand up. She slowly raised her head from the documents and let out a long sigh. ¡°I want to know more about his attending doctor. I want to talk to him. Can I?¡± ¡°The attending doctor is not here at the moment, and he does not have much spare time. He is currently deployed in a medical team in Africa. At the moment, he can only provide the young master with some guidance on recovering, but other than that, there really isn¡¯t much else that can be done¡­¡± More than one doctor had already concluded that Bai Qihan¡¯s leg could not recover, so they did not ask the attending doctor to stay. ¡°But the psychiatrist will come to the house tomorrow to help the young master.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll make some preparations tomorrow and wait for the psychiatrist to come over.¡± Luo Yun said gently, ¡°I¡¯ve been reading books on psychology recently. I hope that I can help Bai Qihan even a little bit.¡± The butler looked at her, not knowing what to say. In the afternoon, Luo Yun bought a batch of professional medical books online and communicated with Lawyer Xu about the matters regarding the Luo family. Because Bai Qihan had informed him in advance, the other party¡¯s attitude was very good. Unknowingly, time had quickly passed, and it was already past seven in the evening. Seeing that dinner was ready, she asked, ¡°When my husband left this afternoon, did he say that he would be back tonight?¡± ¡°Sir did not say.¡± Luo Yun nodded and called Bai Qihan. In the White Dragon Group, Bai Qihan was still in the meeting. The others were already starving, but they did not dare to show it. After all, everyone knew that their boss was a tireless workaholic. The projector was connected to Bai Qihan¡¯s phone. After he finished reading a page, he raised his hand and signaled his assistant to switch to the next page. At this moment, the screen suddenly darkened as a call had come in. The assistant habitually clicked on the right, causing the call to go through. A crisp and sweet female voice sounded in the conference room. ¡°Hubby, what time are you coming back? I¡¯ll wait for you so that we can eat together.¡± Everyone, who was originally starving and dispirited, instantly sat up straight with different expressions on their faces. Only the assistant was scared silly. He wanted to throw the phone away, but he did not dare to. He could only brace himself and look at Bai Qihan with a face expressing a sense of despair of likely being fired the next day. Bai Qihan furrowed his brows and gestured for his assistant to pass the phone to him. ¡°Hello, hubby? Can you hear me?¡± Since there was no response from the other end of the phone, Luo Yun asked again. Bai Qihan took the phone and looked at the executives with different expressions. He slowly said, ¡°Yes, I just finished a meeting. Give me a moment.¡± ¡°Why do you still have a meeting at such a late hour? You really are working hard. Alright then, I¡¯ll wait for you anyway. Be careful on the road¡­¡± Luo Yun¡¯s heart ached a little. In her opinion, Bai Qihan was still a patient. She felt that the company was simply too inhumane for it to be holding a meeting so late into the night. Everyone heard the crisp voice of a young woman and raised their heads. They stared at Bai Qihan¡¯s face without regard for any possible consequences. Bai Qihan¡¯s lips seemed to curl up slightly, and then he replied, ¡°Mm.¡± After hanging up, Bai Qihan said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Meeting dismissed.¡± With that, he pushed his wheelchair out and left. After Bai Qihan left, the meeting room exploded. The person in charge of the workplace center, Marvin, immediately stood up from his chair. ¡°When did our boss get married? Why don¡¯t we seem to have ever gotten new of it?¡± Usually, as long as there was any news about Bai Qihan, they would be the first to know because they had to handle his publicity and public relations. ¡°No one knows. However, that voice earlier sounded a little young. It doesn¡¯t seem to come from an adult. Could they be someone who has just come of age¡­¡± ¡°That can¡¯t be. Although the boss is a bit of a workaholic, he still has a moral bottom line¡­¡± Chapter 21 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°What¡¯s the use of talking about this? We should just hurry up and go eat. We really have to thank Mrs. Bai. If that meeting went on for any longer, I would have fainted from hunger¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re right. I hope that Mrs. Bai can call her husband every day to remind him to come home on time for dinner. Hahaha¡­¡± It was not just the high-ranking officials in the conference room who were in shock. It was the same in the CEO¡¯s office. Qiu Ming was being tagged like crazy, as everyone wanted to know more about Bai Qihan and his wife. [Qiu Ming, when did the boss get married? Why was there no news at all? Do you know?] [Is there a need to ask? Qiu Ming definitely knew. He¡¯s the boss¡¯ special assistant. He¡¯s with the boss every day! Brother, you¡¯re not being nice. Why didn¡¯t you tell us when you knew?] [I heard that Mrs. Bai only turned 18 recently. Is that true? Oh my god, the boss was actually such a person? What a beast¡­] Qiu Ming had gone out to deal with the project in the development zone. As soon as he got into the car, his phone kept buzzing from the constant stream of notifications. He thought something had happened, but when he saw what it was, his mind went black. He quickly typed out a reply: [Don¡¯t spread such baseless rumors! The madam is not eighteen! She¡¯s 25 years old this year! She¡¯s an adult.] The people in the group continued to ask, [I don¡¯t believe it. Do you have any photos of her? I want to see what she looks like. If you send some photos, I¡¯ll treat you to milk tea.] [What a horrible reward! What¡¯s he going to do with milk tea? Introduce him to a girl instead! The boss already has a wife, yet he¡¯s a single dog and has to follow them around every day. I feel embarrassed for him. Hahaha¡­] Qiu Ming, [I don¡¯t have any photos! Don¡¯t even think about it! If the boss finds out, your year-end bonus will be deducted!] The group quickly shut up. The year-end bonus was clearly a big deal to them. At this moment, Qiu Ming only wanted to say that he was really tired. Luo Yun had no idea that her phone call had caused such a huge commotion. She sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow as she watched TV and waited for Bai Qihan to come back and eat dinner with her. However, while waiting, she actually fell asleep. At this moment, a sound came from the entrance. Luo Yun woke up in a daze and saw the butler pushing Bai Qihan over. She hurriedly got up from the sofa and ran over. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± ¡°There was a bit of traffic on the way back. Sorry for making you wait.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Luo Yun shook her head and pushed him to the dining table. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to wait for me next time. It¡¯ll just take up your time,¡± Bai Qihan said. Luo Yun sat down. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Why were you still in a meeting when it was already so late? How are people supposed to eat¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something. Other than Bai Qihan, who else could make him hold a meeting? She felt like she had said something wrong. She had never really understood a CEO¡¯s working hours. ¡°I¡¯ll be careful and keep better track of time in the future.¡± Bai Qihan thought about it and actually agreed. ¡°Then, if you can¡¯t come back in time in the future, can you tell me in advance?¡± This request seemed normal to Luo Yun. But for Bai Qihan, other than the Bai family¡¯s old master, no one had ever made such requests from him. As such, he was unfamiliar with such things. Luo Yun just looked at him like that and thought, ¡°Does he find it troublesome?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get Qiu Ming to send you my schedule. If you have any requests, tell him to adjust the schedule,¡± Bai Qihan said slowly. Luo Yun was speechless. Is this the world of a tyrant? If she had a request, she would have to request a change in his schedule in advance. She tightened her grip on her chopsticks. ¡°Do I really have to make an appointment in advance if I want to see you or eat with you?¡± It did not sound wrong. After all, generally speaking, anyone who wanted to see Bai Qihan would have to make an appointment in advance. However, she was his wife; they were not business partners, so why did she have to make an appointment with the special assistant in advance for a meal between husband and wife? If his special assistant were a woman, would it not affect the harmony of the family too much? Besides, her not having any special privileges as his wife caused her to become a little moody. Bai Qihan noticed it in time and probed, ¡°Tell Qiu Ming?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I tell you directly?¡± Luo Yun looked at him. ¡°Hm, sure.¡± Bai Qihan nodded. ¡°Just send me a message if you need anything. I¡¯ll reply once I see it.¡± Seeing that she was still a little angry, Bai Qihan picked up a piece of braised pork with preserved vegetables for her and even chose the largest piece. ¡°No one will disturb you today. Eat more meat.¡± When Luo Yun heard this, she could not help but laugh out loud. He still remembers what happened yesterday? ¡°You should eat more too.¡± She picked up some food for him. In a short while, a small mountain piled up in his bowl. ¡°There¡¯s too much,¡± Bai Qihan said helplessly. ¡°I don¡¯t even know where to start.¡± When Luo Yun saw this, she immediately picked up a piece of pork rib from his bowl and placed it in her bowl. ¡°There, that should be enough.¡± A second ago, she was still a little moody, but the next second, she was happily eating ribs. Was this what a woman was like? Bai Qihan thought to himself, ¡°Well, there doesn¡¯t seem to be anything wrong with this.¡± Chapter 22 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After dinner, Bai Qihan returned to his room. The room was a little hot, so he reached out and unbuttoned his shirt one by one. As he was halfway through, a knock came from the door. He thought that it was the housekeeper, so he did not think much about it and said, ¡°Come in.¡± Then he continued to take off his clothes and threw his shirt on the bed. The door was pushed open. Luo Yun entered and saw that Bai Qihan had taken his shirt off and was currently half-naked. His abdominal muscles were clear and distinct, and pretty much all of the muscles on his body were well-sculpted. They were not firm nor bulky; their shape and contours could simply be said to be perfect. His muscles were normally hidden under his shirt. Additionally, people would generally attribute him to be of the refined type, making it quite the surprise to see how well-built he was. It was obvious that he was persistent in training. Now that she was in, if she went out, she felt that that would be too cowardly of her, and she knew that she would end up regretting it a bit. She quickly said, ¡°Are you going to take a shower? Do you need my help?¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s forehead twitched uncontrollably. He pressed the tip of his tongue against the back of his molars and asked her after a long while, ¡°How do you want to help?¡± When he said that, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of mockery was hidden in his black eyes. Luo Yun had originally wanted to ask him about the family banquet, but she just so happened to run into him when he was about to take a shower. She thought for a while and said seriously, ¡°I can¡­ Uhh, I¡¯ll run your bath first and help you change your clothes. I¡¯ll go and fill the water for you now.¡± As she spoke, she walked toward the bathroom. However, before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Bai Qihan. Luo Yun looked back, waiting for him to speak. ¡°The bathroom is over there.¡± Bai Qihan raised his chin and pointed in the opposite direction she was walking. Luo Yun turned around awkwardly. The bathroom was huge, with a huge hand-carved jacuzzi. There was also a projection screen on the wall so that Bai Qihan could watch a movie while bathing. But Luo Yun believed that he was more likely to use it to read documents. When she was adjusting the water temperature, Bai Qihan pushed the door open and entered. He was holding clean pajamas in his hands as he entered. ¡°Can you do it alone?¡± After Luo Yun mentally prepared herself, she raised her head, looked at him, and said, ¡°Do you need me to help you take off your clothes? No, take off your pants?¡± When she finished speaking, she realized that he had already taken off most of his clothes. Moreover, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. They were husband and wife. It was normal for her to help him bathe. She bit her lip and met his eyes, not avoiding them. Bai Qihan was indifferent. He did not know why, but the scene of her bending over in front of him last night flashed through his mind. Was she really innocent and ignorant, so she spoke without any scruples? Or did she see him as someone completely disabled, so she was fearless? Or did she actually take the initiative like this¡­ with anyone? His gaze darkened, and his voice went deeper. ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to do this. You can just go out.¡± Bai Qihan had always been cold and distant, keeping people away from him. Even though he looked gentle on the surface, he was still cold deep inside. Luo Yun was not afraid that he would be annoyed and explained, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be more convenient for you if I were to help you? If you¡¯re not used to it, I¡¯ll come back next time. I¡¯ll help you when you¡¯re fine with it.¡± She remained still patient and did not mind his coldness at all. She said gently, ¡°I¡¯ll head out first. Call me if you need anything.¡± After closing the door, Luo Yun let out a sigh. Bai Qihan leaned against the walls of the huge jacuzzi and thought about Luo Yun¡¯s words. If he was not fine with it now, would she come back when he was? She clearly wanted to control him, and she was determined not to give up until she achieved her goal. She used to love to smile and speak more directly, never beating around the bush. Bai Qihan closed his eyes. This was the first time where his mind was filled with thoughts about her when taking a bath. He suddenly opened his eyes and projected his phone onto the screen. He started to look at the project proposal, but after looking at it for a while, he felt extremely bored. He did not know who made these things, but the only thought in his head was that whoever it was had to be fired! ¡­ Luo Yun took a shower after returning to her room. After drying her hair, she started to apply a facial mask. She was a little nervous when she thought about going back to the Bai family¡¯s old residence with Bai Qihan tomorrow. She then realized that she had not even chosen her clothes yet. Luo Yun took off her facial mask and went to her wardrobe. This place was actually connected to Bai Qihan¡¯s wardrobe, so she could directly go to his room from here. However, with the state that they were currently in, it would be quite rude for her to simply barge into his room. She simply focused on choosing her clothes for tomorrow. In the end, she chose a few plain-colored dresses for Bai Qihan to choose between. She was wearing a teddy bear nightgown and gently knocked on the side door. ¡°Can I come in?¡± ¡°Come in.¡± Luo Yun walked in and showed Bai Qihan the different dresses. ¡°I want you to help me choose which one to wear. Which one would be suitable for me to wear tomorrow?¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s lips were just about to move when he heard her say, ¡°Wait! You can¡¯t say that everything is suitable, and you can¡¯t say that it¡¯s up to me!¡± Bai Qihan was speechless. He had no idea what to say as she had just taken the words out of his mouth! Chapter 23 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation From Luo Yun¡¯s point of view, she could not let a straight man speak to her in a manner by which he beat around the bush. She wanted him to be direct and provide her with some guidance. As such, she immediately warned him in advance from saying something that would only leave other people angry. ¡°I¡¯ll try them all for you so that you can see how they look. I need your help choosing another one.¡± She would present him with all of the choices, then give him the right to make the decision and respect his opinion. She did not believe that he could still shake his head and reject her after everything she was saying and doing. Luo Yun ran straight to the cloakroom to change into one of the dresses she had brought. The first one was a green and white A-line dress. The hem of the dress reached her knees, revealing her slender calves. It gave her a rather mature vibe. ¡°Turn.¡± Bai Qihan sized her up with his eyes. Luo Yun turned around and brought along a gust of wind as she did so. The air was filled with the fragrance that resulted from her shower. ¡°Show me another one.¡± The second dress was embroidered with floral patterns, and it was quite ladylike. The design of the waist made her waist look slim. Without a doubt, she was beautiful. At this moment, the corners of her lips were curled up, making her look confident and lively. Bai Qihan nodded. He felt that this dress was nice. It was lively and ladylike, and it was not too gaudy. He felt that it was the most suitable dress for a family banquet. ¡°I¡¯ll change to the last one.¡± Luo Yun saw him nod, but she still wanted to try on the last one. It was a white off-shoulder dress. It was well-cut and mature. This was also very nice, but Bai Qihan still chose the second option. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Luo Yun asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Qihan was a man of few words. It was as if he would lose 100 million if he said anything more. Luo Yun knew this, so she did not expect to hear any praise from him. Luo Yun tilted her head and said, ¡°Okay, then I¡¯ll go with that one. I also think that it looks the best.¡± A fragrance wafted in the air. She took a deep breath and said, ¡°It smells so good. Is it lavender?¡± Her gaze turned to the humidifier at the side. Bai Qihan needed all sorts of sleeping aids to be able to fall asleep at night, so he put some sleeping aid essential oil in the humidifier and had it release the scent into the air. These were recommended to him by his psychiatrist. Luo Yun picked up the essential oil beside the humidifier and looked at the recipe behind it. He turned back and looked at him. ¡°It¡¯s better to apply this on your wrist and temples.¡± Previously, the servants had been cleaning up. They probably thought that the effect would be better if they put this thing in the humidifier. ¡°Give me your hand,¡± Luo Yun said with a smile. Bai Qihan stretched out his hand, which Luo Yun then held in her hand. ¡°You just have to do this¡­¡± Luo Yun dripped a drop on his palm and gently spread it with her middle finger. Her hand was soft and warm. Her fingers lightly touched his palm. It made it feel a little hot and itchy, but it was a wonderful feeling overall. Luo Yun raised her hand and gently tapped his temple. ¡°If you can¡¯t sleep at night, first place the oil in your palm, then rub it on your wrist and temple.¡± When she said this, she was very close to him. When she spoke, her lips opened and closed like an alluring cherry. Her skin was fair and delicate. Even with how close they were, it looked as if there was not a single pore on her face. Her face simply seemed to be absolutely flawless. Moreover, there was still the fragrance of a shower emanating from her body. Bai Qihan closed his eyes and listened to her. He took a deep breath. The scent of the essential oil was very calming and could help him sleep. Luo Yun sat up straight and smiled. ¡°I hope you have a good sleep. Good night.¡± ¡°Good night,¡± Bai Qihan said. Luo Yun folded the dress and pointed to the cloakroom. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Although the two of them had straightened out a lot of things, they had not disturbed each other in the past, and they could not simply progress too much when it came to physical contact. Today could be said to be a huge breakthrough. Before going to bed, Luo Yun looked through Bai Qihan¡¯s schedule for tomorrow and found that it was not that full. In the morning, he had a routine psychological checkup. In the afternoon, he had a meeting. After that, he would go to the Bai family¡¯s old residence with her. Luo Yun raised her hand and smelled the scent of the oils she had touched earlier. The scent was indeed very calming. ¡­ Psychiatrist He Bo arrived half an hour early in the morning, and Luo Yun was the one who welcomed him, ¡°Please take a seat first. Bai Qihan is currently in a meeting, so please wait shortly.¡± He Bo had seen her a few times before, but the two of them had never interacted because the original Luo Yun did not like to meet strangers and did not know how to entertain people. Therefore, whenever he came in the past, it was always the Bai family¡¯s servants who entertained him. This time, he was slightly surprised to find that Luo Yun was the one who had come to entertain him. Luo Yun sat down opposite him and poured him a cup of tea. ¡°Have a taste.¡± He Bo could not refuse. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± Luo Yun suddenly said, ¡°Doctor He, let¡¯s exchange contact information. This way, if anything happens in the future, we can contact each other more conveniently.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± He Bo turned on his phone and asked her to scan the QR code. Then, he saw her change his name to: Bai Qihan¡¯s Psychiatrist. He thought that she would at least have Doctor He as his nickname, but in the end, he did not even deserve a name? Chapter 24 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°This makes it much easier for me to remember,¡± Luo Yun explained. He Bo responded, ¡°I understand, madam. Anyway, I shall head on up first.¡± Luo Yun said, ¡°Sure, go on ahead. Oh, by the way, are you going to be staying for lunch? If you are, I¡¯ll get the kitchen to prepare extra food for you.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I won¡¯t be staying for lunch.¡± He Bo controlled his expression and quickly headed upstairs. A few moments after, the door to the study was pushed open. Bai Qihan raised his head and looked at Doctor He, who had just come in, expressionlessly and frowned at him. ¡°What happened? Why do you look like you¡¯re in such a rush?¡± He Bo asked subconsciously, ¡°Has your relationship with your wife improved recently?¡± ¡°Did you change the direction of your consultation?¡± Bai Qihan raised his eyebrows. He Bo thought and said, ¡°No, I¡¯m just curious.¡± ¡°Well, things have indeed been a lot smoother recently.¡± Bai Qihan answered. In fact, he felt that not only had his relationship with his wife been getting a lot smoother, but he was even feeling a lot more comfortable around her recently. ¡°Congratulations. I knew it. Why else would the madam have welcomed me, served me tea, and asked for my contact information?¡± He Bo touched his chin, his face expressing an understanding of why the scene earlier had taken place. Bai Qihan took special notice of the last part that the doctor said. ¡°She took the initiative to get your contact information?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± He Bo nodded. When he said that, he seemed to have sensed a flash of danger. ¡°Although the madam got my contact information, I did not even deserve to have a name in her contact list! When she added me to her contact list, she renamed me as your psychiatrist!¡± When he said this, He Bo was still clearly feeling a little indignant. ¡°I suspect that she might have renamed the other people in her contact list the same way as well. Such as Bai Qihan¡¯s bodyguard, Bai Qihan¡¯s driver, Bai Qihan¡¯s assistant¡­¡± When Bai Qihan thought of that scene, he felt like laughing. As the two of them chatted, the psychological consultation began. Each session lasted for 50 minutes, but He Bo soon realized that Bai Qihan¡¯s mental state was much more stable than before. This was a very good sign. When there were only 20 minutes left, Bai Qihan suddenly asked, ¡°Wait, you said that she greeted and personally entertained you?¡± ¡°Yeah. She¡¯s a lot different from how she was in the past.¡± He Bo recalled that scene and said, ¡°Her attitude a while ago was very polite and friendly.¡± In the past, He Bo had actually tactfully suggested that the original Luo Yun also get a psychological consultation. As an excellent psychiatrist, he could feel that the original Luo Yun had serious mental problems. However, his attempts were all met with failure. Whenever he expressed his intentions to the original Luo Yun, her expression would quickly turn very ugly, and she would immediately tell him to get lost. That was why he was very surprised after seeing how polite she was to him this time. Bai Qihan said, ¡°Recently¡­ She has indeed become very different from before. It¡¯s almost as if she¡¯s become a completely different person.¡± He Bo asked, ¡°Can you elaborate?¡± ¡°As you have seen, she¡¯s a lot more cheerful and lively than before,¡± Bai Qihan said. ¡°She¡¯s also much more mature and generous when dealing with people. She¡¯s even smart and quick-witted.¡± Of course, what he left out was that he felt that she was a lot cuter than before. He Bo nodded and said, ¡°From what I can tell from your words, this is a change for the better. Then this is a good thing; it¡¯s likely that the mental problems she may have previously had have been resolved. I had long since noticed, in the past, that she had serious mental issues. There was a gloominess between her brows that never seemed to dissipate in the slightest. However, she¡¯s looking a lot better now.¡± Bai Qihan frowned. ¡°Hm, but do you have any idea what might have caused this change in her?¡± Normally, people would only have a change in their personality after encountering a major event or losing their memories. However, she did not look like she had lost her memories at all. Could it be that after stabbing himself, she had suddenly been enlightened? He Bo had rich experience in this field, and he was able to quickly give Bai Qihan an educated reply. ¡°This may be the result of multiple factors or encounters. It could be that she experienced a sudden enlightenment at a certain moment. In other words, she may have thought certain things through. In fact, sometimes, the process is not that important. In cases like this, it is more important to simply value the result. It is enough as long as the result is good. The more you investigate, the more you might simply end up confusing yourselves, leaving yourself skeptical of everything.¡± Bai Qihan did not expect to get any concrete answers from He Bo, but he still agreed with He Bo and kept his words in mind. He decided that he would not dwell too much on her change. In the afternoon, Luo Yun had already changed into the dress that Bai Qihan had chosen and was ready to attend the banquet with Bai Qihan. The description of the Bai family in the original book was very simple. They had the power to cover the sky with one hand and were rich enough to rival a country. Back when Luo Yun had first read that, she felt that it was probably just an exaggeration in the novel world. For a single business family to have the power to cover the entire sky with one hand was simply much too unbelievable to her. However, when she came to this world, she no longer dared to say anything. After all, in the face of absolute power, small figures could only shut their mouths. In the world of novels, there were many times when there was no reason to speak. The Bai family line could only be described to be illustrious throughout the generations. Bai Qihan¡¯s grandfather, Bai Lianyan, was born into a top-tier military family. After his family declined, he moved abroad and founded the White Dragon Corporation. Chapter 25 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Bai family was so powerful and rich that it was destined for there to be internal complications. Because of the large number of members within the family, there would naturally be numerous conflicts of interest. Luo Yun had already looked through the Bai family¡¯s genealogy at Bai Qihan¡¯s place. But even when she matched them with their photos, she felt that she would not be able to remember them all. There were really just too many people, and the relationships were even more complicated. After reading it, she only remembered that the Bai family¡¯s old master¡¯s favorite was his grandson, Bai Qijun. Although he was the eldest grandson, he was only the second master in the family. Another person that Luo Yun remembered was the female lead of the original book, Bai Miaomiao. She was the youngest granddaughter of the Bai family and Bai Qijun¡¯s younger sister. That was why the amount of doting that Bai Miaomiao received was so unique. Bai Miaomiao was only twenty-one this year and was studying at Communication University. As for Bai Qihan, his father had always been disliked by the Bai family¡¯s old master because of his bad intentions. As a result, Bai Qihan was neither valued nor favored. Coupled with his parents¡¯ early death and his physical disability, he was nearly invisible to the rest of the family. In recent years, he managed to make a project, which nobody viewed optimistically, bigger and successful, allowing him rights to speak within the family. Every family banquet of the Bai family was not a simple reminiscence of the past, nor was it a reminiscence of the warmth of the family. Instead, it was a dispute of interests. After all, the Bai family was simply too big and had too many descendants. Old Master Bai would divide the benefits according to everybody¡¯s performance. To put it simply, whoever performed well would get a profitable project, and whoever did not perform well would do the thankless work. As for the so-called standard of good performance, it was in the hands of Old Master Bai. There was no solid logic to it. Luo Yun turned to look at Bai Qihan. ¡°Since the main purpose of today¡¯s banquet is to welcome back your second brother, then we shouldn¡¯t have anything to do with it, right? He has just returned from overseas, so your grandfather should miss him very much. That being the case, we should be able to leave after having a meal, right?¡± She really did not want to deal with any more trouble. She had patience, but her patience was also dependent on who she was dealing with. She had devoted all her patience to Bai Qihan. She really did not want to deal with the complicated Bai family. ¡°Just stay by my side. I¡¯ll cover for you if anything happens,¡± Bai Qihan said after some thought. He was merely acting out of his nature and did not reveal any excess emotions at all, but it still caused ripples in Luo Yun¡¯s heart. His actions were really manly. In their marriage, he had done everything he could. He was dutiful and responsible, though he was a bit cold toward her. The Bai family¡¯s old mansion was quiet. Although it was located in the city center, it was isolated from the hustle and bustle of the surroundings. The house was constructed and decorated with both modern and ancient styles. There was a swimming pool, golf course, tennis court¡­ Everything was available. Luxurious was utterly lacking when it came to describing it. This was also why the Luo family wanted to marry their daughter into the Bai family. Even if the one who they would have to be wed to was Bai Qihan, whose legs were crippled. Luo Yun pushed Bai Qihan toward the main residence. With her sharp eyes, she noticed that there were many kinds of expensive koi fish in the pond under the rockery. Each one probably cost at least six figures! ¡°Let¡¯s go and see those koi. They¡¯re so beautiful.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± The two of them walked a few more steps. ¡°Fourth brother!¡± Suddenly, someone called out to them. Luo Yun raised her head to look at who it was and saw that it was Bai Miaomiao. In the book, Bai Miaomiao¡¯s appearance had probably been described by the author as magnificently and as beautifully as they could. If one had to summarize it simply, it would be that she would look good even in a gunny sack, and she could even make a vegetable leaf look like a jade accessory when wearing it. She was only 21 years old right now, and the main story had yet to begin. Two years later, Bai Miaomiao, due to heartbreak, would go out and get drunk and end up saving the male protagonist, Ji Yansang, along the way. He was an illegitimate son of the Ji family, the overlord of Sea City. He hid his identity and pretended to be a gigolo to live off a woman, deceiving Bai Miaomiao¡¯s body and heart. Luo Yun skipped through most of the original book because she only wanted to read about Bai Qihan. However, she also knew that Bai Miaomiao eventually became a top-tier actress and had a great career. As for love, she had been in a cruel and deep love¡­ ¡°Fourth sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? I¡¯m talking to you!¡± Bai Miaomiao frowned. The original Luo Yun did not even have much contact with the Bai family, let alone this young miss who was doted on by thousands. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± she asked. ¡°I told you to take a rest. I can push my fourth brother around.¡± Bai Miaomiao had the temper of a young lady. She could not stand it when her words were ignored. After all, no one had ever dared to ignore her words. Luo Yun smiled and said, ¡°There¡¯s no need for that. But you can hold an umbrella up for us if you¡¯d like.¡± The afternoon sun was still a little hot. She was pushing the wheelchair with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other. She was indeed a little tired. She felt that it would be great if someone helped her. Bai Miaomiao could not believe it. Someone was actually teaching her how to do things? Chapter 26 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation While Bai Miaomiao was still in utter disbelief, Luo Yun had already placed the umbrella in Bai Miaomiao¡¯s hand. With that, Bai Miaomiao was forced to open the umbrella. Luo Yun took out a sunblock spray from her bag and sprayed it on her face. ¡°This place is honestly too big. I feel like I¡¯ve been walking for so long that I¡¯m about to melt from the sun.¡± Bai Miaomiao was puzzled when she heard Luo Yun complaining about being exposed to the sun. ¡°If you hate being in the sun for so long, then why didn¡¯t you go through the long corridor of flower racks?¡± That corridor leads directly to the main hall, and you won¡¯t be exposed to the sun throughout the path.¡± ¡°I forgot.¡± Luo Yun then asked calmly, ¡°Bai Qihan, why didn¡¯t you remind me? Did you also forget about it?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to see the koi fish?¡± Bai Qihan sounded helpless. Bai Miaomiao¡¯s eyes flickered. From Bai Qihan¡¯s words, she was quickly able to infer that it had been her fourth sister-in-law who wanted to see the koi in the pond, and her fourth brother then had to endure the heat and accompany her as they took the longer route. However, she was surprised to hear her fourth brother, who had always been cold and indifferent and spoke little, sounding like he was doting on her fourth sister-in-law. ¡°It¡¯s too hot right now. It would be better to simply wait and come back here at night. There will be light here at that time anyway, so you will still be able to see the koi fish,¡± said Bai Miaomiao. She did not want them to watch the koi fish on a hot day and show off their love while she held an umbrella for them. She looked at Bai Qihan and said, ¡°Fourth brother, little aunt and her family are here today. Second brother is still on the way, but he should be here soon. It¡¯s been a long time since the house has been so lively. But I know that you don¡¯t like such occasions that much, would you rather I send you upstairs through the side entrance?¡± ¡°Since we¡¯re already here, it would be a waste to just avoid everything.¡± ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s go to the main hall.¡± As Luo Yun listened to Bai Miaomiao¡¯s words, a memory popped up in her head. In the original book, this aunt that Bai Miaomiao had mentioned was described as spoiled, willful, and loose-tongued. She had even said the following lines to Luo Yun, [If this were the ancient times, you would be a servant girl who is bringing fortune to our family through a ¡°warding-off¡± wedding. However, don¡¯t grow complacent; it seems that you do not even know how to greet your elders when you see them. Did nobody in your family teach you proper manners?] [Nevertheless, do not think that there is no hope for you in this life. If you give birth to a son with the fourth young master, you will be able to turn things around. However, I have no idea if his body can still even help give birth to a child.] [You¡¯re so thin and have a bitter face. You don¡¯t look likable at all. Those who don¡¯t know better might think that our Bai family has mistreated you! You truly are lucky that you can marry into the Bai family¡­] In the original book, the aunt¡¯s sarcastic remarks about Bai Miaomiao in the later stages became increasingly outrageous. However, she did not dare to do so now. While she was dwelling in her thoughts, they had already reached the main hall. ¡°Hey, look at who¡¯s back? So it¡¯s the fourth young master.¡± Aunt Bai Caiying¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Little fourth, your legs are no longer working, yet you still came all this way. It has really been hard for you. Seriously, you should know that it¡¯s fine even if you had not come. Everyone knows what your situation is like. No one would blame you if you did not come.¡± Bai Qihan said calmly. ¡°It isn¡¯t often that second brother comes back. Moreover, aunt is back as well, so how could I possibly not come?¡± Bai Caiying bit her lip and looked at Luo Yun. ¡°It seems that little fourth¡¯s wife is the same as before. It¡¯s as if her lips are stuck together. She does not even greet people when she meets them.¡± Luo Yun was the only person here who was not a member of the Bai family, or rather, she was the person on the outermost ring. Because of that, she was naturally the one who ended up being targeted. When Luo Yun heard this, she made her way to Bai Caiying. She then bowed and greeted her in a standard manner, ¡°Hello, aunt.¡± She then turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting awkwardly at the side and said, ¡°Hello, uncle.¡± After that, she patted the head of the child beside them. ¡°I only haven¡¯t seen you for a few months, yet you¡¯ve already grown so big?¡± The child slapped her hand away and said unkindly, ¡°Hmph, don¡¯t touch me.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s expression changed slightly when he saw this. Luo Yun, on the other hand, continued smiling. ¡°It¡¯s normal for boys to have a bit of temper. Anyway, I remember that you¡¯re still in primary school, right?¡± ¡°Third grade.¡± Bai Caiying said arrogantly. Luo Yun smiled. ¡°You look smart. Your grades must be very good. ¡± Hearing her precious son being praised, Bai Caiying surprisingly expressed some humility, ¡°He¡¯s doing alright. He¡¯s only tenth in his grade.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Luo Yun said exaggeratedly, ¡°I thought that he would have taken the number one spot. Well, it¡¯s already good enough that he¡¯s in the top ten. Although there are still nine students who are better than him, there are a lot of students in his grade, so the top ten is already quite impressive. He can probably work a bit harder and strive to get in the top three. I see him quite optimistically.¡± Although the words were clearly compliments, Bai Caiying could not help but feel uncomfortable when hearing them. She felt that something was off, but she could not find a way to retort. She could only smile and say, ¡°It seems that little fourth¡¯s wife likes children very much. You¡¯ve been married to little fourth for over a year. When are you planning to have children? ¡± ¡°We¡¯ll have a child when we have one.¡± Luo Yun smiled gently. She answered with an answer that did not seem like an answer. Bai Caiying did not give up and continued to make snarky remarks.¡±The daughter-in-law of the Wang family next door has been married for over a year and is already pregnant with a second child.¡± ¡°If she has already given birth to one, then isn¡¯t it normal for her second pregnancy to be her second child?¡± Luo Yun said gently. Chapter 27 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Bai Miaomiao could not help but laugh out loud. She thought to herself. ¡°Why have I only just realized how interesting my fourth sister-in-law is?¡± While Bai Miaomiao found Luo Yun¡¯s words amusing, Bai Caiying clearly did not think the same. She could barely keep her face straight. After so many years, she had never been rendered speechless by anyone. Just as she was about to scold her, she saw Bai Qihan¡¯s serious face. She swallowed back the words she was planning on saying, straightened her neck, and then said, ¡°I¡¯m just reminding you for your sake. If you don¡¯t understand, then forget it. I don¡¯t want to waste my time here any longer.¡± ¡°Aunt, Yun¡¯er is still young. We can talk about this later.¡± Bai Qihan smiled faintly. Although he was smiling, there was not a hint of a smile in his eyes. Things were different now, and Bai Qihan was no longer the helpless child who had his parents killed and was bullied by others. Bai Caiying knew this very well, so she could only suppress her anger. Butler Zhu Yi came down from upstairs at this time. He saw Luo Yun and said, ¡°Fourth madam, the old master invites you over.¡± Luo Yun pointed at herself. Me alone? Zhu Yi looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. He had a serious expression on his face, and there was not a trace of a smile on his face. He reached out his hand to Luo Yun and said, ¡°If you would be so kind.¡± Bai Qihan looked at her and gave her an encouraging look. The old master of the Bai family was a person who could not be underestimated. He was decisive and ruthless. He had three sons and one daughter in his life. Over the years, he slowly handed over his power to the younger generation. And Bai Qihan was undoubtedly the most outstanding of his generation. Moreover, Bai Qihan was still hiding a lot. Luo Yun suppressed her emotions and reached out to knock on the door of the study. After knocking, she heard a dignified male voice coming from inside, ¡°Come in.¡± She pushed the door open and entered. She saw a white-haired, dignified old man sitting in a vintage-style study. He was wearing a white Chinese robe and looked like a person from the previous century. ¡°Sit.¡± Old Master Bai pointed at the chair in front of him and said in a deep voice. Luo Yun compliantly sat down. ¡°I asked you to come here because little fourth does not tell the truth. He only knows how to avoid me.¡± Old Master Bai leaned back in his chair and said slowly, ¡°I heard you were injured recently; what happened?¡± Luo Yun¡¯s heart turned cold. ¡°Be honest and tell grandpa, did little fourth treat you badly?¡± People who had been in power for a long time, even if they spoke in a gentle manner, exuded an aura of oppression. ¡°I was muddle-headed.¡± Luo Yun admitted her mistake decisively. ¡°Oh?¡± Old Master Bai raised an eyebrow. ¡°Tell me, what do you mean by you saying you were muddle-headed? ¡± ¡°I was careless in making friends. I made a lapse in judgment with regard to their characters.¡± Luo Yun raised her head and looked straight into Old Master Bai¡¯s eyes. She did not avoid his gaze as she spoke. ¡°My friend did something wrong. However, because of our many years of friendship, I wanted to let him off, and that led me to have an argument with Bai Qihan. In the process, I accidentally injured myself. However, I have already recognized my mistake, and I also approve of Bai Qihan¡¯s handling of the matter. I have no objections.¡± When she said this, her logic and words were clear. After a pause, she added, ¡°I married into the Bai family, so I should have looked at the problem from the perspective of the Bai family and my husband first. I was foolish.¡± It was obvious that Old Master Bai was not really concerned about whether she was injured or not. He was only concerned about whether the other party¡¯s actions would endanger the interests of the Bai family. As expected, Old Master Bai¡¯s expression became even gentler as soon as she finished speaking. ¡°Are you getting along well with little fourth?¡± Old Master Bai seemed to be a loving grandfather who really cared about his grandson. ¡°Due to the accident that he had been in when he was young, little fourth¡¯s life has been hard, so he does not like to talk. I hope that you can be more tolerant of him.¡± ¡°Bai Qihan is indeed a man of few words, but he cares for me very much.¡± Luo Yun said sincerely, ¡°He¡¯s a very sincere, responsible, and gentle person. ¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you think that way.¡± Old Master Bai wanted to stand up, but he suddenly felt a pain in his heart at that moment. His face turned pale, and he was about to call for help when he suddenly collapsed to the ground the very next second. Luo Yun immediately got up from her chair. Old Master Bai was probably of quite some age and had a weak heart, making him easily susceptible to shock. She stretched out her hand to check if Old Master Bai was still alive. Fortunately, he was still breathing. She then touched his carotid artery. Ten seconds later, she could no longer feel a heartbeat. Old Master Bai¡¯s heart had stopped beating. Luo Yun immediately clenched her fists and struck at the lower part of Old Master Bai¡¯s sternum. After the first time, she did not feel a pulse. She tried again, but there was still nothing. The door suddenly opened when she struck his sternum for the third time. A sharp female voice rang throughout the room. ¡°Ah! What are you doing?!¡± Luo Yun did not have time to identify who it was. She had to focus on CPR right now and could not divert her attention to anything else. Chapter 28 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Little second, quickly pull this woman away!¡± As soon as Bai Caiying finished speaking, a pair of large hands grabbed Luo Yun¡¯s hands, which were about to carry out another heart compression. Her hands were gripped with so much force that she could feel her bones cracking. ¡°Let go!¡± Luo Yun turned and glared at the person who had grabbed her hands. ¡°If you don¡¯t want your grandfather to die, let go! ¡± Bai Qijun had just arrived home when he heard the commotion coming from upstairs and hurried over. He did not expect Luo Yun¡¯s gaze to be so sharp. He could not help but let go of her hands. Luo Yun quickly went to check Old Master Bai¡¯s carotid artery again. Fortunately, his heart was beating again. She let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, ¡°Don¡¯t touch him. Whoever touches him will be held responsible.¡± She took the opportunity to check his pupils, which had shrunk a little. His lips and nails also slowly returned to their normal color. At this moment, the family doctor arrived. After testing his heartbeat and pulse, he confirmed that there were no major problems. At this moment, Old Master Bai had also regained consciousness. The doctor quickly carried him to his bedroom. Luo Yun wanted to follow him to understand the situation, but just as she stood up, someone blocked her way. Then, slap! A palm hit her right in the face. Under the high tension, Luo Yun was unable to react at all. Coupled with the fact that she had squatted for a long time, her legs were numb. This slap almost knocked her out. Her ears buzzed, and the taste of blood emerged in his mouth. ¡°Luo Yun, what did you say to my dad? Why did he faint? If anything happens to my dad, your entire family will not be able to pay this debt even with their lives!¡± In her rage, Bai Caiying raised her hand, wanting to hit Luo Yun again. ¡°Stop!¡± Bai Qihan heard the sound of the slap from outside. He gripped the wheelchair tightly. This was the first time he hated his disabled legs so much. Bai Caiying¡¯s husband was worried that things would get out of hand. When he heard Bai Qihan¡¯s voice, he quickly hugged his wife to calm her down. ¡°How do you expect me to calm down? My dad is unconscious! This woman is really a jinx. Something bad happened the moment she arrived!¡± Bai Caiying glared fiercely at Luo Yun. Luo Yun had embarrassed her earlier today, so she was already quite angry with her. With the opportunity right before her, she would naturally not let Luo Yun off. Luo Yun licked her teeth, her gaze calm. ¡°I spoke with grandfather normally. He fainted because of his old age and his declining heart. I carried out first-aid on him, so there should not be any major problems. He should wake up soon.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her hand being held. She turned around and saw that it was Bai Qihan. His gaze was rather complicated. Hidden underneath his gaze was anger, heartache, and guilt. Luo Yun smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Grandfather should have already woken up.¡± Bai Qihan said, ¡°Sit down first. Bai Miaomiao, can you get her an ice pack?¡± Bai Miaomiao immediately headed downstairs to get an ice pack for Luo Yun. Not long after, the butler came to tell everyone that Old Master Bai was fine. But the main reason that he had come was to actually thank Luo Yun for her timely first aid. If it had been a few seconds later, something much worse could have happened. Bai Qihan¡¯s brows were furrowed as he muttered, ¡°Grandfather is alright?¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± When Bai Qihan said the word good, the hearts of the people in the room could not help but tremble. Bai Miaomiao quickly brought back an ice pack, and she then heard her fourth brother say politely, ¡°Bai Miaomiao, please close the door.¡± Her heart skipped a beat. Bai Qihan¡¯s tone was rather frightening. Bai Qihan took the ice pack and his expression immediately turned gentler when he faced Luo Yun. ¡°Here, your face needs some ice.¡± As soon as the ice pack touched her face, she hissed in pain as if she had been pricked by a needle. A teardrop fell uncontrollably onto the back of Bai Qihan¡¯s hand. Bai Qihan¡¯s brows were tightly knitted. He let Luo Yun hold the ice pack, then turned around and said, ¡°Now that the matter has been clarified, it is clear that grandfather fainting is no fault of Luo Yun. The doctor also said that it was because of her emergency treatment that nothing serious happened to grandfather.¡± His gaze locked onto Bai Qijun, and his voice sounded a little tired, ¡°The person who had misunderstood her just now should apologize to her.¡± Who did not know that the second master of the Bai family had a bad temper? It was precisely because of this that he was addressed by others as the second master. It has always been others apologizing to him, but now, his fourth brother looked like he would not give up until he apologized to his wife. He obviously treasured his wife very much. Although Bai Qijun had a bad temper, he was not someone who could not distinguish right from wrong. So he took a deep breath, walked forward, and said sincerely, ¡°Fourth sister-in-law, I¡¯m sorry. I had been quick to jump to conclusions and acted rashly. Please forgive me.¡± Bai Qijun was the grandson of the eldest branch. Who in the Bai family would dare to compete with him? The only person who dared to make him apologize was probably this seemingly gentle but actually powerful fourth young master. ¡°I accept your apology.¡± Luo Yun said this on the surface, but what she was actually thinking was: ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that you¡¯re Bai Qihan¡¯s second brother, I wouldn¡¯t have let you off just because you dared to pinch my hand! I¡¯m a doctor! My hands are my most precious instruments.¡± Chapter 29 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After Bai Qijun apologized, he dragged Bai Miaomiao out. But Bai Miaomiao was unwilling to leave; she wanted to stay and watch the show. However, after receiving a stern glance from her second brother, she resigned and left the room with him. Bai Caiying could not bring herself to apologize to Luo Yun. In fact, she was still angry with her husband. If he had not stopped her, she would have gotten to slap Luo Yun several more times. Bai Qihan wanted her to apologize? He better not even think about it. She snorted coldly and turned around to leave. But before she could leave, a calm but threatening male voice sounded from behind her. ¡°If you walk out from that door today, then don¡¯t even think about stepping into the Bai family¡¯s doors ever again.¡± Bai Caiying was shocked, and so was everyone else. The usually easy-going fourth master was actually being so ruthless and unforgiving today? Bai Caiying turned around, but because she still found it difficult to accept defeat, she said, ¡°What did you say?! How dare you threaten me?! I¡¯m your senior! Bai Qihan, who do you think you are? So what if I leave today? What can you even do about it?!¡± ¡°Heh, go ahead and try me,¡± Bai Qihan laughed instead of getting angry. The corners of his lips curled up as if he was smiling, but there was no warmth in his eyes. His gaze was like an icy blade that was held right against Bai Caiying¡¯s throat. In an instant, she lost all her confidence. ¡°Caiying, let¡¯s just apologize.¡± Bai Caiying¡¯s husband quickly went forward to mediate the situation. He was still working under Bai Qihan. Bai Caiying was used to being a rich lady and did not understand certain things, but he was very clear about Bai Qihan¡¯s methods. He was someone who could silently place a sharp blade against your neck without you knowing. ¡°How can an elder apologize to a junior? Besides, I hit her because¡­¡± Bai Caiying suddenly found herself at a loss for words. But after some quick thinking, she continued, ¡°I was worried about my father.¡± Bai Qihan had completely lost the patience to continue talking to her at this point and remained silent. Luo Yun wanted to say something, but before she could, Bai Qihan held her hand and signaled her not to say anything. Today, Bai Qihan wanted Bai Caiying to realize who exactly were the ones who had the right to speak in the Bai family now and in the future! ¡°I won¡¯t apologize.¡± Bai Caiying still remained stubborn. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, Bai Qihan, it¡¯s not your place to tell the Bai family what to do and what not to do! When my father wakes up¡­¡± ¡°Pa!¡± A loud slap landed on Bai Caiying¡¯s face. The one who hit her was her husband, Cai Chun. After slapping her, Cai Chun bowed deeply to Bai Qihan. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I apologize to the two of you on behalf of Caiying.¡± Bai Qihan did not speak. Cai Chun maintained his bent posture, bending his body close to the ground. ¡°You¡¯re facing the wrong direction.¡± Bai Qihan said lightly while pointing at Luo Yun, ¡°The person who you should be apologizing to is over here.¡± Cai Chun stood up and bowed again in Luo Yun¡¯s direction. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, fourth young mistress. I deeply apologize for what took place today.¡± At this moment, Bai Caiying was completely dumbfounded. She could not believe that her husband had actually dared to hit her. When she looked at Bai Qihan again, all she could see was a playful expression on his face. It was as if he were merely watching a joke take place. As for Luo Yun, she also looked a little stunned, as if she did not quite understand why her husband had suddenly slapped her. Instantly, humiliation engulfed Bai Caiying¡¯s heart. Her head was about to explode, and her face was burning. She gritted her teeth so hard that it sounded like they were going to shatter. In the end, she stomped her feet and left with hatred. ¡°Caiying has a fierce temper. I¡¯ll go over and talk to her,¡± Cai Chun hurriedly said after seeing Bai Caiying leave. Bai Qihan did not say anything. He simply turned around and resumed placing the ice pack against Luo Yun¡¯s face. Cai Chun stood rooted to the ground. Without Bai Qihan¡¯s permission, he did not dare to go out. His forehead was covered in sweat, and his back was completely drenched in cold sweat. Luo Yun gently tugged at Bai Qihan¡¯s sleeve. If this continued, there might really be no way for them to end this. This was the Bai family, not the Luo family. She had just expressed her loyalty to Old Master Bai and said that she would consider matters from the Bai family¡¯s standpoint. Enough was enough. She knew it well. Bai Qihan seemed to have only noticed it at this moment. He casually let out a sound of acknowledgment through his nose. After Cai Chun received the order, he ran out as if he was escaping for his life. Luo Yun also recovered from his shock. ¡°I did not expect uncle to suddenly make such a move.¡± ¡°He works under me,¡± Bai Qihan said calmly. ¡°He knows who he depends on to survive.¡± Cai Chun was not Bai Caiying, who lived like a flower in a greenhouse and knew nothing. This was also the opportunity Bai Qihan had given him. If he offended his wife, he could still live. Even if he divorced her, he would not starve to death. However, offending Bai Qihan would only lead to death. Therefore, that slap was unexpected but within reason. From Luo Yun¡¯s perspective, Cai Chun¡¯s slap was likely to be according to Bai Qihan¡¯s intentions. Bai Caiying cared immensely for her reputation, and she would not take lightly to the humiliation she received today. Bai Caiying would never let this go. Luo Yun looked at him with mixed feelings. Bai Qihan was better at manipulating people than she thought, and she suddenly felt a little pressured. Chapter 30 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°The swelling seems to have gone down a little.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s slender fingers brushed across her cheek, bringing with them a cold touch. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to bring some ointment over later.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Yun nodded. Her tensed nerves relaxed a little, and her eyes got a little misty. Bai Qihan raised his hand and wiped away the tears in her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I¡¯ll definitely make them pay for the slap they threw at your face in the future,¡± he coaxed softly. Even Bai Qihan himself did not realize that his emotions were more unstable today compared to the time when they were at the Luo family. Luo Yun¡¯s voice was soft as she said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to see her again. If she dares to mess around, I won¡¯t give her any face.¡± She paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°Aunt was slapped by her husband today. She lost all her face. Will she harm you in the future?¡± ¡°That depends on whether she has the ability to do so.¡± Bai Qihan laughed coldly. Luo Yun thought to herself, ¡°Since the boss himself is fearless, then what do I have to worry about.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go and see grandfather.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Fortunately, I took a first-aid class when I was in school, ¡± said Luo Yun. ¡°If not for that, I¡¯m afraid that things could have turned out a lot worse.¡± Bai Qihan said sincerely, ¡°We are all very grateful to you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s simply what I should do. Saving the dead and healing the wounded is every doctor¡¯s re¡­¡± Upon hearing Bai Qihan¡¯s words, Luo Yun subconsciously began speaking, but as she was halfway through her words, she quickly changed what she was saying. ¡°Actually, I was also very nervous at that time. Fortunately, grandfather turned out fine in the end.¡± Fortunately, Bai Qihan did not hold on to this matter, leaving Luo Yun at ease. Old Master Bai had already woken up and was well. He had taken his medicine and rested for a while, so Luo Yun did not want to disturb him. The emergency doctor came to ask her about the matter again. Luo Yun answered fluently, and the other party immediately praised her. It was all thanks to her professional skills and quick reaction that she had managed to save the old man. Luo Yun thought to herself, ¡°Shut up, stop praising me so profusely. My husband might get suspicious.¡± ¡­ During the dinner, Old Master Bai was absent, and so was Bai Caiying¡¯s family. In the end, only the rest of the family, Luo Yun, and Bai Qihan were left. The atmosphere at the dining table was eerily quiet. No one spoke, not even Bai Miaomiao, who was always talkative. The episode that had just taken place had caused countless complicated thoughts to appear in everyone¡¯s minds. It was clearly affecting them, even if they pretended that nothing had happened on the surface. Luo Yun¡¯s wrist had been smeared with medicine, but it still hurt. She could not even hold her chopsticks properly. She could forget about the dazzling array of dishes on the table. Bai Qihan looked at her aggrieved expression and picked up some beef for her. ¡°Here, eat this.¡± He looked at her hand and then asked, ¡°Can you move your hand?¡± His words broke the silence at the dining table. Suddenly, Luo Yun felt many gazes on her face. Bai Miaomiao thought to herself, ¡°Fourth sister-in-law isn¡¯t going to let fourth brother feed her, is she?¡± Meanwhile, Bai Qijun thought to himself, ¡°I¡¯ve already apologized. They aren¡¯t going to look for me again, right?¡± Luo Yun waved her left hand. ¡°It¡¯s fine. This hand is alright.¡± With so many people watching, she was too embarrassed to let Bai Qihan feed her. If no one was around, they could act coquettishly to promote their relationship. However, that was currently not the case. After dinner, a servant came to tell them that their room was ready. They were also informed that their clothes had been prepared. Bai Qihan nodded and explained to Luo Yun, ¡°We have to stay for the night in case something happens to grandfather again.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Luo Yun understood. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go and prepare your bath.¡± ¡°Wait for a while; there¡¯s still something to attend to,¡± said Bai Qihan. Luo Yun thought that he still had to deal with company matters, so she did not ask much. But in the end, she heard him say, ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to see the koi?¡± Luo Yun: ¡°???¡± She had almost forgotten about it herself, but he actually remembered. ¡°Get the kitchen to get you some fish food and spray some mosquito repellent on yourself,¡± Bai Qihan instructed. When they went to see the koi fish, Bai Miaomiao immediately turned to her second brother and said, ¡°Fourth brother is even scarier than you when he¡¯s angry. I heard that he forced aunt to apologize, but aunt did not comply. Then, uncle slapped her just to avenge Fourth Sister-in-law¡­¡± Bai Qijun was shocked to hear that. ¡°I haven¡¯t been home for more than a year, so I didn¡¯t recognize Luo Yun at all. Aunt asked me to drag her away, so I did it without even thinking twice. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t exert all my strength back then.¡± Everyone said that he had a bad temper, but in actuality, much of that temper came from the confidence from the backing he had. He felt that when it actually came down to it, he was quite mellow. Bai Miaomiao rubbed her chin. ¡°Fourth sister-in-law is a lot different from how she was in the past. She probably has someone backing her up. She¡¯s even more confident now. ¡± Bai Qihan had never seen the Luo Yun in the past as he had been overseas. Today was the first time he met her. He was shocked by her gaze. Her gaze had been as sharp as a knife when she had looked at him. He found himself pondering on how his fourth brother actually took a liking to such a character. Chapter 31 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Bai Qijun thought for a moment and then said to Bai Miaomiao, ¡°Then you should be more careful in the future. Don¡¯t make your fourth brother angry.¡± ¡°Second brother!¡± Bai Miaomiao looked at him like he was an idiot. ¡°Aren¡¯t you the one who has to be careful not to make fourth sister-in-law angry?¡± Bai Qijun was left speechless. ¡­ Luo Yun had already gone to see the koi fish with Bai Qihan. She picked a handful of fish food from the wooden bowl she was carrying and threw the food into the pond. Immediately, a group of koi fish came and fought over the food. After she threw the fish food into the pond, she quickly put her hands together and prayed silently. When she opened her eyes, Bai Qihan asked, ¡°Were you making a wish?¡± Luo Yun nodded. ¡°It¡¯s said that koi can bring good luck. Since I got to see so many koi today, something good will definitely happen in the near future.¡± Bai Qihan looked at her with a smile on his face. ¡°You make a wish as well,¡± Luo Yun said when she saw him smile. Bai Qihan shook his head silently. ¡°I¡¯ve seen the koi in this pond since they were young. The wish you spoke about probably won¡¯t work for me.¡± He did not believe in fate. He only believed that man could conquer nature. Luo Yun squatted down and looked at him. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe in fate, then do you believe in the existence of parallel worlds?¡± Bai Qihan looked at her deeply, and then he said, ¡°It might be better for you to discuss such topics with quantum physics professors. They know more about such topics than me. Do you want me to help you make an appointment with one?¡± ¡°No need, I was just casually spouting nonsense.¡± Luo Yun smiled awkwardly. All her thoughts were interrupted. She said, ¡°Let¡¯s go back. There are so many mosquitoes here.¡± ¡°Were you bitten?¡± Bai Qihan asked. ¡°Why did they only bite me and not you?¡± Luo Yun muttered softly, ¡°Hm, it must be because I¡¯m sweeter and taste better.¡± Bai Qihan smiled lightly. At this moment, even the stars and moon were not as dazzling as her. ¡­ Luo Yun accompanied Bai Qihan back to their room. When they passed by the living room, Bai Miaomiao called out to her, ¡°Fourth sister-in-law, do you have some time? Can you help me take a look at some scripts? I heard that you studied literature appreciation, so I want to hear your opinion.¡± Luo Yun: ¡°???¡± Who took what now? It took her a while to remember that the original owner of her body seemed to have indeed majored in such a degree for two years before dropping out of college. In the end, she could only agree to Bai Miaomiao¡¯s request. Bai Miaomiao took her hand and said to Bai Qihan, ¡°Then, fourth brother, you can go back first. I¡¯ll return fourth Sister-in-law to you later. ¡± ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll head on up first.¡± Bai Qihan nodded. Bai Miaomiao pulled Luo Yun to sit on the sofa and pointed at the pile of manuscripts in front of her. ¡°My manager chose a few for me, but I¡¯m not very satisfied with them.¡± Luo Yun originally did not want to cling onto the female lead¡¯s thigh, but now that the female lead had already sent her thigh over, she would not stand on ceremony. She happily picked up a script and almost rolled her eyes at what she saw. What kind of lousy script is this? Did the screenwriter write with his feet? Did he not use his brain at all? This agent that had picked out these manuscripts had probably been switched for another by Bai Miaomiao later on. She began to recall how Bai Miaomiao was described in the book. Bai Miaomiao¡¯s road to becoming the best actress was not very smooth either. She first took on a few lousy films. In fact, Bai Miaomiao had studied acting professionally before. However, the characters she got were faulty, and the plots were incoherent. In addition, she came from a top-class background. Her fair, rich, and beautiful character immediately came under assault by all kinds of malicious attacks. It was not until later that she accidentally took on an ancient drama that had been shelved for two years, [The Princess Chef¡¯s Love Story]. In it, she played a princess who had a cold demeanor and was bent on revenge. Dressed in a wedding dress, she stood on the city wall and turned around with a smile. Instantly, she became popular all over the internet. Since then, Bai Miaomiao¡¯s acting career began to take off. [The Princess Chef¡¯s Love Story], from its name alone, was clearly a silly and sweet love story. The main characters were a pair of princess sisters of a subjugated kingdom. The female lead was the older sister, Rixi, and the second female lead was the younger sister, Yuesong. The younger sister, Yuesong, was determined to exact her revenge. Ever since she was young, she hid her identity and studied martial arts diligently. She went from one powerful minister to the other to collect information, determined to take her revenge. In the end, she failed, and she jumped down from a tower with thousands of arrows piercing her body. On the other hand, her sister Rixi had been sent to the palace since she was young. Because of her excellent cooking, she had attracted the picky crown prince. One did not feel at ease being a chef, and the other did not feel at ease being the crown prince. Both liked to wander around the palace, and the two ended up in a ridiculous love story. In the end, Rixi decided to reveal her identity and gave up on taking revenge, living happily ever after with the crown prince. Such a script was really not very outstanding. However, perhaps due to the female lead, Rixi, being too silly and sweet, the audience preferred the complicated and contradictory little sister, Yue Song. Therefore, Bai Miaomiao¡¯s popularity skyrocketed. After Luo Yun recalled this, she immediately sat up straight and began looking through the pile of scripts. And eventually, she did indeed manage to find [The Princess Chef¡¯s Love Story] among the pile. No matter how calm she was, she could not control her emotions. The script that was supposed to appear in two years¡¯ time was now right in front of Bai Miaomiao, ready for her to take on. Chapter 32 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun picked up the script for [The Princess Chef¡¯s Love Story] and confirmed whether it was really the one she knew. After confirming that it was indeed the one from what she could recall, she handed it to Bai Miaomiao with a determined look in her eyes. Bai Miaomiao hesitantly took the script. Looking at Luo Yun¡¯s determined eyes, she said hesitantly, ¡°I¡¯ve already seen this, but the female lead¡­ It¡¯s really hard to explain, but their love is almost completely brainless. Moreover, the investors have not fully confirmed whether or not they are going to provide the required funds, so it isn¡¯t certain if we can even film it.¡± Luo Yun opened her mouth in shock. Oh my god! Little princess Bai Miaomiao, don¡¯t you think that you¡¯re even more brainless when you fall in love? The male lead was someone who was supposed to be unattainable to you, yet you still agreed to have a fake marriage with him. He hurt you, abandoned you for the sake of his family, caused you to have a miscarriage, and so on¡­ But in the end, when the male lead said he loved you and was sorry for what he did, you smiled and forgave him happily! How could you say that Rixi is brainless? At least Rixi did not suffer because of the person she loved¡­ ¡°Girls become a little stupid when they fall in love. However, I think that the second female lead, Yueson, is more suitable for you,¡± Luo Yun smiled and said. The little princess Bai Miaomiao still did not know the depth of her future sadistic love. ¡°Yuesong?¡± Luo Yun replied, ¡°The character itself has its own highlights. If your performance is good, it would be easier for you to attract the audience¡¯s attention and touch their hearts.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Bai Miaomiao nodded. ¡°Let me take a look.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just giving you my opinion. In the end, it¡¯s still yours to decide.¡± Luo Yun pursed his lips. After all, the original book had its own path, and Bai Miaomiao, as the original female lead, had her own plot armor. Otherwise, she would not have managed to survive being persecuted by so many people. Bai Miaomiao was especially strong when it came to her career. If she could confirm that this story was going to be filmed, Luo Yun was prepared to invest a portion in it herself. Bai Miaomiao also thought about it carefully. It was true that she was not well-known enough at the moment, and she did not want to rely on her family for her career. She could make use of this opportunity to land even better roles in the future. ¡°Alright, you look through that. I¡¯ll head on up first.¡± Luo Yun stood up. Bai Miaomiao said, ¡°Okay, thank you, fourth sister-in-law.¡± Luo Yun smiled and thought to herself, ¡°Heh, I should be the one thanking you. Thanking you for letting me hug onto your thighs.¡± When Luo Yun returned to the bedroom, Bai Qihan had already finished washing up. He was lying on the bed with a tablet in his hand. When she closed the door, she realized that there was only one bed, meaning that she and Bai Qihan were going to sleep on the same bed tonight. She decided to take a shower first. After more than two hours, Bai Qihan could not help but look at the bathroom door. He was wondering why Luo Yun was taking long in the bathroom. Luo Yun had used up already finished applying her routine skincare products and could not dawdle any longer. She slowly came out and climbed into bed. The bed was very big. If they did not intentionally do so, it was almost impossible for them to make contact with each other. But even knowing that, she was still feeling very nervous. Especially when she met Bai Qihan¡¯s gaze on the bed. The two of them did not speak. Luo Yun took a deep breath. ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t have any bad sleeping habits.¡± Ahhhh! What am I even saying?! It sounded like she really wanted to sleep together with him. She really wanted to go back in time and change what she said. ¡°How¡¯s your face?¡± Bai Qihan put down the tablet. ¡°The swelling has already subsided,¡± said Luo Yun. ¡°Where¡¯s your hand?¡± ¡°It still hurts a little.¡± Luo Yun shook. Just as they were talking, a knock came from the door. She jumped off the bed and opened the door to see a servant. ¡°The second young master left temporarily. Before he left, he asked me to bring this up. He said it was to further express his apologies.¡± The servant handed her a bag. Luo Yun thanked the servant and took a look at the bag. There were some fruits and ointment inside. ¡°Second brother-in-law even sent someone to deliver ointment and fruits,¡± she said as she sat by the bed. She did not remove the ointment but opened the fruit, forked a piece, and brought it to Bai Qihan¡¯s lips. ¡°Wanna have a bite?¡± ¡°I already brushed my teeth.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Luo Yun took back the fruit and ate it herself. ¡°But your second brother¡¯s temper is really hot. He almost crushed my wrist.¡± ¡°He has always been like this, but he did not have any malicious intentions. He just looks difficult to get along with. In fact, he was not like this in the past. Although he was very disciplined as a soldier, he still loved to smile. I heard that it was after he met a woman and was dumped that his mood became even more irritable.¡± As for the whereabouts of that woman, he had no idea. Bai Qijun had used many connections, but he still could not find her. It was also because of that incident that he was even more unwilling to go home and take over the company. He only wanted to stay in the army. Chapter 33 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Hearing this, Luo Yun was stunned. She had no idea that Bai Qijun had been dumped in the past. The book had not mentioned such an event at all. All that she knew was that although Bai Qijun was the most favored grandson of the Bai family, he refused to accept the family¡¯s business and remained only dedicated to the country. She wondered which woman was so brave to actually dump him like that. However, she also knew that she would not be able to get any further information out of Bai Qihan. Thinking of how pitiful Bai Qijun was, she said directly, ¡°He¡¯s your second brother, and he already apologized to me. Moreover, he even gave me ointment and fruits. I won¡¯t hold what he did today against him.¡± ¡°Turn your face around.¡± Bai Qihan took some ointment, unscrewed the cap, and dabbed a cotton swab in the ointment before applying it on her face. At this moment, their faces were right in front of each other. They were so close to one another that she could even feel his breath on her face. Bai Qihan lowered his gaze and poured some ointment on his hand, rubbing it on her wrist. ¡°That should be enough.¡± ¡°Thank you for standing up for me today.¡± Luo Yun felt that Bai Qihan, who had threatened her aunt today, was too handsome. He was so handsome that her legs almost went weak. Bai Qihan said, ¡°If she hits you, she¡¯s slapping my face.¡± Luo Yun was speechless. That was true, but could he not have said it in a nicer way? ¡°Is that the only reason?¡± Bai Qihan raised his eyebrow slightly. ¡°When I was bullied, your heart ached too,¡± said Luo Yun. Bai Qihan was silent. ¡°Don¡¯t deny it. I could see the heartache in your eyes.¡± Luo Yun leaned over, unbridled. ¡°Is it that difficult for you to admit it? Tell me, did you feel sorry for me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± As if by a stroke of luck, he actually admitted it. Suddenly, Luo Yun felt that her face no longer hurt, and her hands were no longer numb. She went even closer. ¡°Actually, I was super angry at first, but the moment you came over, the anger in my heart slowly dissipated.¡± She did not know where her confidence came from, but she felt that Bai Qihan would protect her. ¡°Things happened so suddenly today. I came late and made you suffer.¡± Bai Qihan lowered his eyes. ¡°Actually, it¡¯s a small matter to be wronged. If I had not managed to save grandfather, it would have been a whole different story.¡± Thinking about it now, Luo Yun still felt a little scared. As a doctor, she was used to seeing birth, aging, illness, and death, but she really hated seeing life slip away in her arms. ¡°The doctors praised your professional first aid skills today,¡± said Bai Qihan. ¡°Mm, I learned it in the past¡­¡± Luo Yun thought for a moment and then admitted it directly, ¡°Actually, I know about medicine. When I told you that I might be able to help you with your legs, I wasn¡¯t just saying it for the sake of saying it. If I manage to stimulate just the right acupoints, it might be possible to help you be able to use your legs again.¡± ¡°When I was ten years old, doctors had already diagnosed that I would never be able to stand up again. This year, I am already thirty years old, and I have never been able to stand since then. It¡¯s already been twenty years. It¡¯s impossible.¡± Luo Yun thought that it was just because the medical science in this world was not developed enough. She reached out and covered his knee. ¡°Don¡¯t be so pessimistic. Maybe in a few years, medicine will have advanced even further. Technology has always been improving. Things that you have always deemed impossible or never have even dared to imagine or even understand may become a reality after certain thresholds have been passed.¡± Bai Qihan stared at her and felt that she was becoming more and more intelligent. If a woman was beautiful, you might take a second look at her. However, when she was not only beautiful, but also intelligent and clear-minded, you could eventually fall in love with her unknowingly. Luo Yun took the opportunity to press down on Bai Qihan¡¯s leg and silently checked it. She found that he did indeed have no feeling in them. At this level, a massage was no longer enough. He needed acupuncture stimulation. She also had to promote the regeneration of bone marrow neural stem cells through surgery. Only then could he stand up again. ¡°Your hand still hurts. Don¡¯t exert them.¡± Bai Qihan stopped her. ¡°It¡¯s already getting late. Let¡¯s just rest. ¡± Luo Yun¡¯s forehead was covered in sweat. Her hand was indeed in pain, and after pressing on his acupoints for a while, she was indeed a little tired. Feeling thirsty, she turned around and picked up the glass of water beside her. She raised her neck and drank it in one gulp. Her slender jawline drew an exquisite arc in the air. Bai Qihan suddenly felt that his lips were a little dry. Luo Yun put down the cup and saw a square box with a fruit pattern on it. It looked like chewing gum. He picked it up and took a look. ¡°Chewing gum? Why is it here?¡± Bai Qihan could tell what it was at a glance. Before he could say anything, Luo Yun had already torn it open. Soon, Luo Yun knew what it was. It was strawberry-flavored¡­ Her face was red as she hurriedly stuffed the things back out of her mouth. It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, it was only a second before she heard her own voice. ¡°Uhh, let¡¯s go to sleep.¡± Chapter 34 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun awkwardly turned off the bedside lamp and slowly calmed down in the dark. Their breathing was light, and neither of them fell asleep immediately, but neither of them spoke. ¡°Luo Yun.¡± After a while, Bai Qihan¡¯s voice suddenly sounded in the quiet room. For some reason, Luo Yun felt her heart skip a beat. She felt that Bai Qihan¡¯s tone was a little strange and could not help but ask, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± After a pause, Bai Qihan spoke again. His voice was slow, and his tone was not as sharp and decisive as usual. ¡°I can¡¯t give you the normal sex between husband and wife.¡± Luo Yun had been single for over 20 years and had never been in a relationship. Now, she was lying on the same bed as an adult man, and he was even saying things that she had no idea how to reply to. If she had known earlier, she would have pretended to be asleep. In the darkness, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. ¡°I don¡¯t mind. I just want to take good care of you and fulfill my responsibilities to you. I was muddle-headed in the past, but the current me is different from the past me. Today, I also promised your grandfather that no matter what happens, no matter when, I¡¯ll be with you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not considering it now, but in the future¡­¡± Before Bai Qihan could finish his sentence, his mouth was covered by a fragrant hand. Bai Qihan was helpless. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about the future in the future. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?¡± Luo Yun said calmly, her eyes shining. ¡°We just have to cherish the present¡± Perhaps his legs would recover in the future, or she¡­would go back to her original world¡­ ¡°Miaomiao asked me to help her check some scripts today. I picked out a role that suits her very well. I believe she¡¯ll definitely become popular because of that role.¡± Luo Yun was afraid that Bai Qihan would say something else that would leave her speechless, so she hurriedly changed the topic. ¡°Bai Miaomiao has always wanted to be the best actress ever since she was a child,¡± Bai Qihan said with a smile. ¡°But I don¡¯t know if I¡¯ll be able to see that in my lifetime.¡± ¡°Of course!¡± Luo Yun said with certainty. After all, if Bai Miaomiao did not win the Best Actress Award, who knew what would happen to the world? As the female lead, Bai Miaomiao had to be successful no matter what, right? As for Bai Miaomiao¡¯s love life, Luo Yun really did not want her to meet that scumbag again. ¡°What about you? What do you want to do?¡± Bai Qihan suddenly asked. Luo Yun thought to himself, I just want to lie flat and hug thighs. In her previous world, she was busy every day. Her talent had already saved the dying and healed the wounded, and her lofty ideals had led her to embark on that path. The only bit of free time she had was spent reading this novel. Now that she was given a new beginning, she wanted to live simpler. She wanted a change of lifestyle. She thought that she could make use of the fact that she had read about this world to invest in things and live well. ¡°I want to take care of you.¡± She still wanted to be close to him and see him smile. ¡°What else?¡± Bai Qihan smiled faintly. Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, ¡°I read Miaomiao¡¯s script today. I think it has a lot of commercial value.¡± ¡°All the films she has made since her debut have been incurring losses. Initially, the investors had only done it for the Bai family¡¯s sake. But now, unless she¡¯s forced into a corner or someone wants to do charity, no one will invest in her.¡± Luo Yun was speechless. Bai Qihan¡¯s words were harsh, but it was the truth. Bai Miaomiao wanted to keep a low profile, but as her older brother, Bai Qihan still helped her secretly. However, the losses incurred were simply too big. If this continued, it would be hard to explain to the board of directors. ¡°This time is different. With my business sense and appreciation of literature and art, this drama will definitely be popular!¡± Luo Yun was bragging about her non-existent skills with her eyes closed. ¡°So?¡± Bai Qihan raised his eyebrows. ¡°I want to invest!¡± ¡°Oh, what about the funds?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you give me a card last time?¡± Luo Yun smiled. ¡°That¡¯s just for daily consumption,¡± Bai Qihan replied. It was only enough for her daily expenses, but if it was an investment¡­ ¡°It¡¯s enough.¡± Luo Yun pursed his lips and said confidently, ¡°I¡¯ll make money out of it. When I have money, I¡¯ll return it to you immediately.¡± After throwing out the lawyer¡¯s fees, there was still more than five million yuan. It was enough for her to operate. Seeing that Bai Qihan was silent, she hurriedly said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t do anything illegal. But I¡¯m going to keep what I¡¯m going to do a secret from you for now.¡± Bai Qihan did not ask further. Luo Yun came over again. ¡°I realized that you don¡¯t seem to be curious about what I¡¯m going to do at all. Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll lose everything?¡± Chapter 35 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I know you¡¯ve been investing in stocks,¡± Bai Qihan said. ¡°How did you know?¡± Luo Yun was shocked. Actually, she had already been working on getting more money. In order to hide what she was doing from the public, she even deliberately avoided all the financial systems under the White Dragon Group and chose an unknown stock company to operate. She thought to herself silently, ¡°Could it be that this big boss knows everything I did?¡± She was still thinking of showing him a screenshot on the day of the sale to surprise him. In the end, she was the one who was shocked. Bai Qihan saw that she did not speak and thought that she was unhappy. He explained, ¡°I did not mean to find out, nor did I have you investigated. It¡¯s just that the company you chose to use is controlled by me. The account manager regularly reports to me.¡± Luo Yun thought to herself, ¡°So even after being so careful, I still did not manage to escape from his grasp. Is this what a big boss is like? They have their hands in all kinds of places without anyone knowing?¡± While they were talking, Luo Yun unknowingly fell asleep. This was also the first time Bai Qihan had slept beside someone. However, he found it strange to feel no rejection towards having someone sleep right next to him. He did not even use the calming incense, and yet he felt sleepy. When he turned his body, he could see the fair and delicate girl beside him. She slept very quietly and her breathing was light. Perhaps she was worried that she would affect him, so she consciously shrank into the corner of the bed and looked like a small ball. A strand of hair was on the bridge of her nose and moved slightly with her breathing. Bai Qihan could not help but reach out his hand, wanting to help her move it away. However, Luo Yun had already taken action and pushed away the itchy hair. Bai Qihan¡¯s hand froze in mid-air before he silently retracted it¡­ When Luo Yun woke up the next morning, Bai Qihan had already washed up and gone to the dining area. His movements were so light that she had not noticed at all. Moreover, the two of them slept together last night, and it did not seem like anything happened. When Luo Yun appeared in the dining area, everyone was already there, waiting for her alone. She walked to Bai Qihan¡¯s side and smiled embarrassedly. ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m late.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± The one who spoke was Old Master Bai. After resting last night, he looked a lot better. Leaning back in his chair, he said to Luo Yun with a pleasant expression, ¡°See if the breakfast prepared by the kitchen is to your liking. Is there anything else you want to eat? If there is, just say it, and I will have the kitchen prepare it for you right away.¡± When Luo Yun heard this, she was surprised at the special treatment she was receiving. ¡°The food that was prepared is already very sumptuous, so I would rather not trouble the kitchen to add more dishes,¡± she said sensibly and politely. ¡°Grandfather, you look great today. Do you want some porridge? I can help you¡­¡± ¡°Sure, add some braised pork.¡± Old Master Bai¡¯s tone was light. Luo Yun instinctively said, ¡°Red braised pork will cause your blood sugar to fluctuate. It¡¯s best for you to eat some vegetables.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, everyone¡¯s expressions changed. Old Master Bai was a stubborn man. He also did not like to listen to advice. Moreover, he hated eating vegetables the most. Whoever dared to persuade him would be scolded. He regarded intaking vegetables akin to swallowing medicine. ¡°Is that so¡­¡± Master Bai¡¯s tone sounded aggrieved. ¡°Then I won¡¯t eat. I really don¡¯t want to eat vegetables,¡± he muttered. ¡°How can those things compare to the fragrance of meat?¡± Actually, his doctor had always suggested him this, but he would always treat it as if he had not hear anything. He could barely eat a little, and that was already his limit. The younger generation in the family knew his temper and did not dare to say anything. The only person in the world who dared to control him was Bai Qihan¡¯s grandmother. However, she had passed away many years ago, so Old Master Bai had been left alone for the past few years. No one dared to control him, and his health was deteriorating year by year. ¡°Indeed, it doesn¡¯t have much flavor.¡± Luo Yun agreed with him, but she then thought of something. ¡°If you really don¡¯t like how it is, then just beat it into paste. No matter what, you have to eat a little.¡± As she spoke, she gave Old Master Bai a lot of food. Her tone was gentle, but her attitude was firm. ¡°Alright then.¡± Old Master Bai had no choice but to eat with a frown. In fact, everyone in the family had excellent cooking skills. It was just that he did not like to eat vegetables by nature. No matter what was done to them, he found it difficult to swallow. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but look at Luo Yun in a new light. This wife of their fourth brother seemed to have changed a little. Luo Yun peeled an egg and handed it to Bai Qihan. ¡°Want one?¡± Bai Qihan took a bite. Luo Yun: ¡°!!!¡± I wasn¡¯t trying to feed you. I was just asking you if you wanted one. Why did you bite it? Bai Miaomiao, who was sitting opposite them, saw this and quickly drank a mouthful of milk to calm herself down. She was honestly getting sick of the couple. She wondered if they were ever going to let others eat! Chapter 36 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation When Luo Yun left the Bai family with Bai Qihan, the old man of the Bai family gave Luo Yun a big red packet. It was a check, a private token of his gratitude to Luo Yun. It could be seen that Old Master Bai still felt some fear about what had happened. Luo Yun did not decline and said after accepting it, ¡°Grandpa, just in case, you have to always have someone with you. Remember to always take the medicine that the doctor prescribed on time and stay healthy.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Old Master Bai nodded. On the way back, Luo Yun said mysteriously to Bai Qihan, ¡°Grandpa gave me a gift. What do you think is inside?¡± ¡°A check.¡± After Bai Qihan finished speaking and saw her disappointed expression, he could not help but wonder if he should have guessed wrongly on purpose. Luo Yun took out the check. It was 500,000 yuan. ¡°Grandpa is really generous.¡± She carefully put it away. Bai Qihan: ¡°He was shot in the heart in his early years. At that time, medical technology was not that developed, so it was never taken out. Now that he is old, it has become a risk factor.¡± ¡°It still hasn¡¯t been taken out?¡± asked Luo Yun. ¡°It¡¯s too risky to do so. No doctor dares to do it.¡± Bai Qihan said. Luo Yun was silent. Old Master Bai¡¯s early years were indeed full of ups and downs. He had escaped death many times and had countless injuries on his body. Back in Sea City, he had almost shaken the Ji family¡¯s position as the overlord. The lives of many of the Ji family¡¯s members had been lost because of his maritime business. Ever since then, the Bai family and the Ji family had a deep grudge against one another. The book specifically emphasized that grudge likening the situation of the male and female leads to that of Romeo and Juliet. However, in Luo Yun¡¯s opinion, there was only cruelty toward the female lead. The grudges, the unreachable partner, the car accident that led to her miscarriage¡­ All of it was but ruses and schemes. In any case, normal people would not be willing to be with such a scumbag. Just as she was thinking about it, someone pinched her red packet that contained the check. She subconsciously clenched her hand. Bai Qihan¡¯s body twitched. He did not pull the red packet. He raised his eyebrow and said, ¡°Who was the one who said yesterday that they would pay me back immediately if they had the money?¡± Luo Yun pulled the red packet back and said weakly, ¡°In the future¡­ I said in the future, not now, okay?¡± Her eyes blinked, and her eyelashes fluttered. She was like a lost deer, pitiful and a little cute. Bai Qihan retracted his hand and snorted. He muttered, ¡°Little liar.¡± After Luo Yun got back, she found Bai Qihan¡¯s attending doctor, Wang Bo¡¯s contact information in the document that the butler had given her. She wrote him an anonymous email, describing some treatment methods for spinal nerve damage. Having such advanced knowledge could actually make things difficult sometimes. The current level of this world in terms of medical technology was rather lacking, so it would be difficult for the other party to understand everything she wrote. However, she still had hope. After clicking send, Luo Yun put her palms together and prayed for a reply. At that moment, a notification popped up on his phone. It was financial news about the White Dragon Group¡¯s strategic reorganization. Bai Qihan went to the company for a board meeting this morning. He would take over all the hotel businesses under the White Dragon Group. This was because, under the leadership of Bai Qihan¡¯s uncle, Bai Rui, the businesses had suffered losses one after another. But even so, it could be seen that Old Master Bai was somewhat biased toward this good-for-nothing son Bai Rui. Not only had he given him key real estate businesses, but he also gave him financial businesses. It could be said that as long as Bai Rui had not messed around, he could have made money even if he had just laid down and did nothing. As for the hotel business, it was a third-party service industry. It would receive a large number of complaints, and it was pretty much a thankless task. It was also in a state of loss, so it would take a lot of effort to reverse things. There was a limit to how much revenue it could earn. On the surface, Old Master Bai said that he wanted to train Bai Qihan and gave him the hotel business, but there were numerous way better options for training. Now that these hotel businesses were in a mess, Bai Qihan had to clean it all up¡­ Luo Yun put down her phone and remembered that the book mentioned that Bai Qihan had once worked on an electronics project. The Bai family did not value it too highly, and it had remained stagnant. But later, Bai Qihan still managed to make use of that to bring the White Dragon Group to another peak. She did not know if Bai Qihan had actually given up. She wondered if she should give him a reminder and tell him not to give up. When she thought of this, she opened a document and started writing a strategy plan. At nine o¡¯clock in the evening, Bai Qihan returned. The servant told him that Luo Yun had been staying in the study and had yet to eat dinner. She had gone to invite her a few times, but the madam kept on saying that she was not hungry. The madam did not even touch the food that she had sent over. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look,¡± Bai Qihan frowned. Chapter 37 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The study door was ajar. He pushed it open, and a voice came from inside. ¡°Just wait for a while. I¡¯ll go out and eat when I¡¯m hungry.¡± Luo Yun sat in front of the desk with her hands on the keyboard, typing non-stop. She did not even look up. She thought that it was the servant that had come up again until she heard a male voice. ¡°How long do I have to wait?¡± Luo Yun looked up and realized that it was Bai Qihan. When she looked at the time again, she realized that it was already past nine o¡¯clock. She had been in the study since noon. Other than going to the bathroom, she had not stopped working at all. She had almost forgotten to eat and sleep as she wrote her business plan. Unexpectedly, it was already so late. ¡°But I haven¡¯t finished writing.¡± ¡°Just continue writing tomorrow.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s tone inadvertently revealed a sense of dominance, ¡°It¡¯s already nine.¡± ¡°Alright then.¡± Luo Yun had always been one to give in to him right away. However, her eyes shifted. ¡°Were you waiting to eat together with me?¡± ¡°If I had not come back, would you not have eaten?¡± Bai Qihan asked. ¡°I was too focused and forgot about the time,¡± Luo Yun said with a smile. She looked at the fatigue on his face and felt some heartache. ¡°I know that you were very busy today. I saw the news report about the group¡¯s strategic reorganization.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qihan¡¯s eyes darkened. Luo Yun pushed him down the stairs and said, ¡°Although the hotel business is a branch of the real estate industry, it isn¡¯t easy to manage. It is especially so when the industry is so saturated. It will be a real test of your abilities.¡± She secretly observed him and saw that his expression did not change much. If that was the case, then it was as if she had not said anything at all. She had clearly failed to comfort Bai Qihan with just that, so she added, ¡°The popularity of themed hotels and homestays is already fading. Now that smart hotels are on the rise, if we can seize this opportunity, the hotel business under the group might be able to get ahead of others.¡± Bai Qihan could not help but look at her. This did not sound like something an inexperienced girl would say. Even during today¡¯s meeting, no one had realized that problem. The company¡¯s losses were due to the existence of the trash that managed it! He had held back during the meeting and was already thinking about layoffs on the way back. ¡°I¡¯m just speaking casually.¡± Luo Yun saw that he still had no reaction and could not help but add. ¡°What you said is actually very good. Do you have any specific ideas?¡± Bai Qihan asked. The two of them went to the dining room and sat down. Luo Yun thought for a moment and said, ¡°I can¡¯t tell you anything too specific. I just think that the problem you really need to focus on at the moment is not the direction of hotels¡¯ future development, but whether you are able to make use of the experienced people from the foundation that is the financial business that you have experience in to implement and execute change. If not, then all the plans are for nothing.¡± Luo Yun pointed out the problem. Bai Qihan pursed his lips. ¡°If I want to improve the business, but don¡¯t have anyone around me that I can use, then the only thing I can do is¡­¡± ¡°Merger and acquisition.¡± The two of them said in unison. Bai Qihan¡¯s furrowed brows finally relaxed. He looked at her deeply and said, ¡°You¡¯re very knowledgeable about strategic investments.¡± He spoke affirmatively. This was the affirmation from a big boss. Although Luo Yun was a doctor in medicine, she also minored in finance during her undergraduate years. She had also made some investments in private. ¡°Ah, I¡¯ve been doing some research recently.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Bai Qihan raised his eyebrows. Luo Yun nodded. ¡°I also bought a lot of books to read. Let¡¯s eat. I¡¯m hungry.¡± Bai Qihan did not ask further. After dinner, the two of them said goodnight to each other at the door of their respective rooms. Before they went back into their rooms, Luo Yun squatted down and smiled at Bai Qihan. Bai Qihan asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Is there something on my face? ¡°Actually, I¡¯m already writing what I just said. If you¡¯re satisfied after reading it, what are you going to give me as a reward?¡± Luo Yun smiled. Bai Qihan also smiled. So she wanted a reward. ¡°I¡¯ll pay you twice the market price.¡± Why is he so generous? However, by then, she would not be short of money. She squinted her eyes and smiled. When she saw Bai Qihan¡¯s gaze, she seemed to have other intentions. ¡°I don¡¯t want that. But I definitely won¡¯t make things difficult for you. I¡¯ll tell you what I want when the time comes.¡± Bai Qihan¡¯s confused and complicated expression made Luo Yun¡¯s mood improve. During this period of time, Bai Qihan had become more and more relaxed in front of her, and his expression had become increasingly varied. Looking at the handsome face in front of her, she had a thought and went to kiss his cheek. After that, she immediately ran into her room and closed the door. Bai Qihan was speechless. Chapter 38 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After showering, Luo Yun lay on the bed, still unable to calm down from what she had done earlier. Just like every young girl who had just fallen in love, her passion was surging. No, she was no longer a young girl. She had a husband now, and this husband was the man she liked the most, the man who came straight out of the book. He was handsome, smart, and wise. He had a gentle personality and knew when to advance or retreat. Other than his cold temperament, everything else was perfect. As for his body, although he was disabled, so what? She believed that she could definitely cure him. At the thought of this, she turned on her phone. Wang Bo had not replied to her yet. In this world, she had no friends, so she had no one to share her emotions with. She truly felt a little aggrieved. At night, Luo Yun tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Her mind was in a mess. Thinking about how Bai Qihan had been transferred from an industry where he had already made a name for himself to a hotel business that was on the edge of collapse, she felt angry. Bai Qihan¡¯s parents had passed away, and his foundation was still unstable. On the surface, Old Master Bai appeared to be fair, but in his heart, the person he favored the most was definitely not Bai Qihan, and it had never been Bai Qihan. On the surface, he said that he wanted to train Bai Qihan, but he was already thirty years old. What was there to train for? This was more like a punishment than anything else! When the word ¡°punishment¡± flashed across her mind, Luo Yun opened her eyes abruptly. Could it have been because of him forcing Bai Caiying to apologize to her on that day at the Bai family residence? She heard that Bai Caiying cried and made a fuss after she returned, and she nearly killed herself. Old Master Bai had always been fair in his issuing of rewards and punishments. Luo Yun could not fall asleep anymore and sat up straight. She remembered that in the original book, Bai Qihan had never taken over the hotel business. Hence, her arrival clearly changed Bai Qihan¡¯s career! It was useless to complain at this point. The only way for her to survive was to turn the tables! It was three o¡¯clock in the morning, and the lights in the study were dim. Luo Yun brewed a cup of very strong coffee and took a big gulp. She was now full of fighting spirit and was determined to complete the plan she was writing. Not only was there a hotel business in this document but there was also a consideration for electronics¡­ She had changed Bai Qihan¡¯s career, so she had to pull him back or even help him rise even higher so that he could control the Bai family earlier than in the original book. When the coffee in the cup was finished, Luo Yun was so sleepy that her eyelids were twitching. However, she had not finished writing the plan yet. ¡°Just a little more,¡± she whispered to herself. However, she fell asleep before she could continue. When she woke up the next day, a blanket had been placed on her body. There was a faint cedar fragrance on the blanket. It was Bai Qihan¡¯s scent. When did he come? She had actually not noticed at all. Luo Yun rubbed her aching temples and opened the document. She realized that it had already been saved by someone. So, Bai Qihan had seen it? However, it was already past seven o¡¯clock. He should have gone to the office by now, right? After washing up, she went downstairs and saw the servant helping her get the parcel with sweat all over her head. ¡°Madam, I¡¯ve brought your parcel up for you.¡± ¡°Thank you. They¡¯re all books, so they must be heavy. Put them down over there.¡± Luo Yun said. The servant put the delivery box aside. ¡°I¡¯ll help you open it.¡± ¡°Alright, ¡± Luo Yun said casually. ¡°Once you¡¯re done, put them in my room.¡± The servant nodded. When she opened the parcel, she discovered that it was actually some neurology books. She raised her head and took a deep look at the madam. She felt that the madam had become more and more mysterious as of late. She had actually even begun to study neurology. Luo Yun looked at her shocked expression and smiled. ¡°What¡¯s with that look on your face?¡± The servant asked in confusion, ¡°Ah¡­ These books looked very profound. Madam, you know medicine?¡± ¡°The more you see, the more you understand.¡± Luo Yun smiled brightly. The servant was speechless. Was medicine so simple nowadays? You can understand it merely by looking? After Luo Yun finished her breakfast, she checked her email again, but she still had not received a reply. She prepared to write another letter. At this moment, she realized that she had received a message. She quickly opened it. It was from Qiu Ming. Qiu Ming had finally sent Bai Qihan¡¯s schedule to her. Luo Yun laughed and immediately sent a message to Bai Qihan: [Good morning. I just ate a pan-fried pork bun. It tasted super good.] She thought that Bai Qihan should be in a meeting at this time and was probably too busy to check his phone. She sent him another message, [Thank you for the blanket. I was too sleepy last night, so I fell asleep in the study.] Chapter 39 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Luo Yun thought that Bai Qihan might have been too busy to reply. She did not mind. She switched her phone to airplane mode and went to the study to work. Bai Qihan finished his morning meeting and continued to deal with other documents. It was not until noon that he picked up his phone and saw Luo Yun¡¯s message. He realized that she was merely talking about some trivial things. From her words, he could see her innocence and romance. It was like a spring breeze, warm and comforting. She really loved to smile recently. The image of her smiling sweetly suddenly appeared in his mind. ¡°Boss.¡± Qiu Ming suddenly pushed open the door and came in, interrupting his thoughts. ¡°What?¡± Bai Qihan put down his phone. Qiu Ming reported, ¡°There has been progress in the development zone. It¡¯s just that Director Gu wants to talk to you personally. I¡¯ve checked the schedule. He¡¯s free on Sunday at two in the afternoon. The location will be at your office. What do you think?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Bai Qihan nodded. Qiu Ming quickly noted it down. He seemed to see a faint smile on the fourth master¡¯s face when he was noting the arranged meeting down. He wondered what good thing had happened. If something good had not happened, then he found it to be absolutely impossible for the fourth master to be so agreeable. Also, when he heard the ridiculous plan that was suggested in the morning, he had not gotten angry. He had simply and gently asked for it to be revised. He was being so considerate and kind that it was actually quite scary. Everyone had even been discussing yesterday that with the fourth master having been forced to take on such a hot potato, he would likely not be in a good mood for the next few days. But in the end, looking at him now, he looked to be in an utterly good mood. Could it be that the fourth master felt that he had no way of resisting the arrangements, so he simply decided to give up on himself and hide his sadness with a smile? If so, this is really heartbreaking. Luo Yun had been busy writing the plan for the whole day and finally got off the computer. She remembered that her phone was still in airplane mode, so it was possible that she had missed a lot of messages. Could it be that Bai Qihan had already replied, but she had not seen it? At the thought of this, she quickly brought out her phone. However, she discovered that she did not receive a message from him. Bai Qihan had not replied to her at all. Luo Yun felt as if she were unloved for a moment. At this moment, the servant came up and brought her a bowl of sour plum soup. ¡°Sir said that he¡¯ll be back for dinner tonight. ¡± ¡°Tell him not to come back.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The servant panicked. ¡°No.¡± Luo Yun sighed. ¡°Did he send you a message directly?¡± she asked after some thought. ¡°It was Special Assistant Qiu who informed me.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± It appeared that he was quite busy. After thinking about it, she had been sitting for quite a while. She had to stand up and walk around. She went straight to watch the servants cook. She wanted to learn from them a little. If she managed to glean something off, perhaps she could have the chance to cook for Bai Qihan in the future. At night, Bai Qihan returned home and saw many exquisite dishes on the dining table. ¡°These are all my¡­¡± Luo Yun pointed at the table. ¡°You made them?¡± Bai Qihan was a little surprised. ¡°I set the plates.¡± Luo Yun did not steal the credit, but she wanted to let him know what she had done. Bai Qihan was speechless. ¡°Then it must have been hard on you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a simple matter.¡± Luo Yun pushed a chair aside and passed him a pair of chopsticks. Bai Qihan reached out to take it, but he found himself unable to pull them. Luo Yun firmly gripped the pair of chopsticks as she stared into his eyes and asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you respond to my messages today?¡± She had a straightforward personality and did not beat around the bush. ¡°When I saw the messages, it was already noon.¡± Bai Qihan explained. However, in Luo Yun¡¯s opinion, this reasoning was not valid. She still did not let go of the chopsticks. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would reply whenever you see my message?¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t ask me anything.¡± He was really only familiar with communicating through questions and answers. This was also the most common communication between him and his subordinates. As such, when he was presented with such messages, he honestly had no idea how to reply. Luo Yun was speechless. ¡°I was sharing my feelings with you. You can share what happened over where you were with me as well. For example, what did you do today?¡± ¡°Meetings.¡± Luo Yun was speechless. She let go of the chopsticks and let him get them. ¡°Then you should just reply with whatever. It¡¯s fine even if you just reply with an emoticon to show that you saw my message.¡± Bai Qihan smiled faintly and said, ¡°Okay.¡± Luo Yun was now satisfied. She felt that he was very obedient and picked up some food for him. ¡°Eat more.¡± Bai Qihan was very quiet as he ate. Luo Yun was also quiet while eating, likely tired from having worked all day and then setting the dishes. After eating a big bowl of rice, she got another bowl. Bai Qihan looked at her. She had been eating a lot recently. Luo Yun finished her rice and drank a bowl of soup. Bai Qihan was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said, ¡°There¡¯s something on your face.¡± Chapter 40 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Which side?¡± Luo Yun raised her head. ¡°Your left.¡± Bai Qihan pointed at her left cheek. ¡°I can¡¯t see. Help me.¡± Luo Yun leaned over. As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Qihan stretched out his slender fingers and removed the rice grains from her face. Her fair and small face was stained with oil due to how quickly she was eating, and he really could not stand seeing her like that. ¡°Eat slowly, or you might end up suffering from indigestion.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s finish eating then,¡± Luo Yun suggested. ¡°I¡¯ll take you out for a walk.¡± Usually, these things were done by the butler. But his wife was now quite adamant about being the one to do it instead. She had already arranged everything for him, so he naturally had no objections. The villa they were staying in had a good environment. The winds and the temperature were just right. It was very comfortable to walk outside in such conditions. Luo Yun pushed his wheelchair along as she talked. This was the first time that Bai Qihan knew that a person could talk so much. Although he was someone who liked peace and quiet, the harmonious atmosphere made it so that he did not feel annoyed in the slightest. The two of them walked further and further away and went straight to a nearby park. They saw a group of children blowing bubbles there. They were having a good time. Bai Qihan¡¯s thoughts drifted away as he watched. Luo Yun did not notice and said, ¡°I¡¯ve seen your schedule. You¡¯re free this Sunday from 4 to 6. I¡¯ll look for you then. Can I?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Bai Qihan snapped back to his senses. ¡°Then it¡¯s settled.¡± After Luo Yun finished speaking, she noticed his gaze and said, ¡°Wait for me.¡± She walked quickly to the children and took out the chocolate that she had eaten for lunch. She exchanged it for a bubble-blowing toy. ¡°You try it too.¡± Luo Yun handed it to him. Bai Qihan had never tried using such a toy before, and he failed on his first try. ¡°That¡¯s not right,¡± Luo Yun said with a smile. After she finished speaking, she squatted down and said to his hand, ¡°First, you have to take a deep breath, then slowly exhale, and then use force at the end. Use some strength. Watch.¡± A huge bubble appeared in Bai Qihan¡¯s hand. Under the sunlight, the bubbles reflected seven colors. She clapped her hands and said, ¡°I¡¯ll blow a few more.¡± She puffed up her cheeks and blew bubbles at the setting sun. The night breeze blew gently. Bai Qihan looked at her puffed-up side profile and was lost in thought for a moment. It was only when Luo Yun realized that there was nothing else she could brag about that she said, ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve lost out. I exchanged a large piece of chocolate for some bubbles, but it has already run out. I¡¯ll go and exchange for more.¡± Bai Qihan was speechless. He found himself unable to reply. At night, Luo Yun washed up and lay in bed. She took out her phone and realized that Lawyer Xu had already sent her a message. The statement had already been drafted. In addition, he had also prepared a medical report and compensation for mental damage. As expected of Bai Qihan¡¯s people, they were really meticulous and considerate. Luo Yun replied, [50,000 is too little. Make it 500,000.] Lawyer Xu wiped his sweat and said, [50,000 yuan is already the most reasonable amount.] Luo Yun, [There¡¯s no need to be reasonable with those people.

But recently, he seemed to be quite good to her. The Bai family also protected her that time¡­ Forget it; I shouldn¡¯t think too much. I should just go with the flow peacefully. Furthermore, Bai Qihan probably doesn¡¯t have any romantic feelings toward me. After all, in the book, he had always been focused on his career. ¡°Is there really not the least bit of¡­ affection?¡± Luo Yun muttered to herself. She tilted his head and leaned against the bed.
