The boss has no descendants, but he encounters four smaller versions of himself

"I've already paid, so the trip can't be wasted," Bai Tutu insisted, with a valid reason.

Qin Xuan gritted his teeth, thinking that he would never let her go back and chat and laugh with those two random men who had appeared out of nowhere.

He took a deep breath and coaxed, "What's so fun about that lousy cruise ship? Anyway, I gave you the money, so there's no need to go back. Let it go to waste."

He paused, then continued arrogantly, "If you haven't had enough fun, I'll have someone arrange a private, top-of-the-line cruise ship right now, just the two of us, so we can go wherever we want. It's a hundred times better than that."

He thought that this should finally move her.

To everyone's surprise, Bai Tutu simply turned her face away and uttered three words in a flat tone: "I don't want to play."

Then, he added, "I don't want to play with you either."

Qin Xuan: "..."

He was completely speechless, feeling like he had punched a cotton ball.

Why has this little white rabbit become so difficult to handle?

She won't listen to reason or persuasion, and she won't take any salt or oil!

The air fell into an awkward silence, filled with a silent confrontation.

Bai Tutu wanted to leave, but Qin Xuan made it clear that he wouldn't let her go.

Unable to persuade him, Bai Tutu gave up trying to communicate. She walked to the sofa in the suite's living room, sat down with her back to Qin Xuan, took out her phone and started fiddling with it, expressing her protest and dissatisfaction through silence and her back.

Qin Xuan was still racking his brains, trying to figure out how to get this little white rabbit, who had suddenly become prickly, to be docile and obediently follow him.

Just then, Bai Tutu, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, her voice muffled and tinged with reproach: "Oh right, and my hat too, remember to return it to me."

"What hat?" Qin Xuan didn't react for a moment.

“It’s the one you lost at the dock!” Bai Tutu turned her head and glared at him, clearly still bothered by the abandoned hat.

Qin Xuan then remembered that when he saw her, she was indeed wearing a sun hat, which fell to the ground when he picked her up.

So she was still thinking about this? No big deal!

He said casually, "Okay, I'll have someone buy you an exact replica to make up for it."

After saying that, he immediately took out his phone, dialed his subordinate's number, and even told his subordinate to first look around the dock area, and if he couldn't find it, to immediately go to the store to find the same product.

Seeing Qin Xuan earnestly instructing his subordinates to buy hats, Bai Tutu felt a little relieved of the pent-up anger in her heart.

At least... he still cares about her little moods, even if it's just something as insignificant as a hat.

After waiting for nearly two hours, the subordinate finally delivered a brand new hat, exactly the same as the original, to the suite.

Qin Xuan took the hat, walked up to Bai Tutu, handed it to her, and said with a hint of pride, "Here, it's exactly the same. Is that alright now?"

Bai Tutu took the hat and examined it carefully. It was indeed exactly the same as the one she had lost, and even better in quality.

She pursed her lips, said nothing, and carefully placed the hat on the sofa next to her.

Qin Xuan watched as she accepted the hat, a smile returning to his face. He thought the matter was over, but then brought it up again: "You've bought the hat, so you should be sane now, right? Can you come with me now?"

Bai Tutu raised her head, glanced at him, then snorted and turned her head away: "Hmph, who agreed to go with you? You should compensate me for buying the hat, what does that have to do with whether I go or not?"

Qin Xuan's smile froze instantly.

Looking at her smug, self-satisfied expression, he was furious, yet strangely intrigued, and also felt a sense of frustration at being completely helpless against her.

How did that innocent little rabbit who used to dare to go east and never go west become like this?

Or is it that all he's ever seen is the side of her that she's willing to show?

The anger in Qin Xuan's heart surged up again.

He took a step closer, his tone becoming dangerous, carrying a blatant threat:

"Bai Tutu, don't think I don't know. You secretly applied to some lousy university for graduate school, and you're planning to take my money and run away to study behind my back, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tutu suddenly raised her head: "You... how did you know?"

She didn't tell anyone about this except the school and necessary people, and she certainly didn't tell Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan snorted coldly, his attitude arrogant: "In the capital, is there anything that I, Qin Xuan, want to know but cannot find out?"

Bai Tutu lowered her head, her brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Qin Xuan continued, "So, now come with me obediently, or... believe me, I can turn your acceptance letter into a worthless piece of paper with a flick of my finger, leaving you nowhere to go?"

Bai Tutu immediately panicked: "No, that was an opportunity I worked so hard to get!"

Seeing this, Qin Xuan knew he had grasped her weakness. He pressed on, softening his tone but still maintaining an undeniable air of control: "Then listen to me and come with me. I promise that as long as you satisfy me, you can go to school or go wherever you want. I won't stop you; in fact, I'll help you arrange things even better."

Bai Tutu raised her head, glaring at him with eyes full of anger and humiliation.

She knew, of course, that Qin Xuan was using this to threaten her and force her to comply.

But... she didn't dare to gamble.

She put in so much effort to get that precious spot; it was her long-planned future, her hope for a new life.

She was terrified that Qin Xuan could easily crush all her efforts and dreams with just a flick of his finger.

I felt an indescribable anger, frustration, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

She didn't want to give in again, didn't want to go back to that ambiguous relationship, but... she had neither the ability nor the means to resist.

After struggling for a long time, she finally lowered her head and squeezed out a reluctant "okay" from her throat.

Qin Xuan felt relieved when he saw that she had finally given in, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

However, before he could finish being happy, Bai Tutu raised her head again and put forward a condition: "I can go with you and stay with you for a while longer, but after a month, you must let me go, and you can no longer interfere with my schooling, nor... cause me any more trouble."

This time, it was Qin Xuan's turn to freeze in a smile.

A month? Let her go? Stop bothering her?

He finally managed to coax her back, how could he possibly agree to such a time-limited agreement?

What he wanted was for her to come back to him completely, just like before.

Therefore, Qin Xuan almost without thinking, his face darkened, and he refused decisively: "No."

When Bai Tutu heard him say "no," her heart sank.

She raised her head, looked directly at Qin Xuan, and said angrily, "Then what exactly do you want? Qin Xuan, you can't be unreasonable!"

Qin Xuan found her flushed face, now red with anger, far more vivid and interesting than her previous stubborn demeanor.

He smirked and began to bargain: "What do I want? It's simple, just like before, stay by my side until I get tired of you."

"You've gone too far!"

Bai Tutu was so angry she almost jumped up. "You know perfectly well that this is just being a scoundrel! When will you get tired of this? A year? Two years? You have to give me a deadline."
