He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Qu Yi picked up the tea brought by the servant, brought it to her lips, pressed her rosy lips against the white jade cup, took a sip, and then put it down.

"Mr. Bai isn't here, so Ms. Xu is probably going to have made a wasted trip."

"I've already told Xiao Yan, and he agreed."

"I see. So, Ms. Xu, what brings you here today is..."

"I came here mainly for my good daughter." Xu Man held the girl's hand on the table, looking at her with a sincere expression.

Qu Yi remained silent, listening quietly.

Seeing that she didn't respond and her eyes remained indifferent, Xu Man felt her heart pounding. She forced herself to continue, "Although she's not my biological daughter, she's better than my own. Like Xiao Yan, she studied abroad from a young age and graduated from Azeri College. After returning to China, she couldn't find her direction. I thought she was quite capable and could do some small things for Xiao Yan, so I brought her here so Xiao Yan could teach her."

Qu Yi lowered her eyes and said, "Mr. Bai rarely comes back here. If this young lady moves in, she won't learn anything. I'm afraid we can only leave her to Sister Qin and let her mentor her."

Sister Qin remained silent.

Xu Man gritted her teeth so hard she almost wore them down.

Should we assign her to a servant and teach her how to clean?

"It seems Ms. Xu is not happy about this, so please leave."

As she spoke, she got up to leave.

Xu Man suddenly stood up and was about to grab her arm when she suddenly heard a few hissing sounds. In her line of sight, a black object crawled out from in front of Qu Yi and stopped on her shoulder.

A scorpion?!

Xu Man was so frightened that she took a few steps back, her face turning pale instantly.

Qu Yi glanced at it sideways and said, "I'm sorry, my pet isn't very intelligent."

"you……"

"Sister Qin, please have someone escort Ms. Xu away."

Just as he was about to leave the reception room, Xu Man's voice rang out behind him.

"You acted on your own initiative, aren't you afraid Xiao Yan will come back and hold you accountable?!"

"understood."

After walking a few steps, she turned back and said, "Thank you for reminding me."

Ruijing Garden was Bai Yan's domain, and nothing escaped his notice.

The events that occurred early in the morning quickly reached Bai Yan's ears.

When Bai Yan returned to his office, he heard Assistant Zhou's report. At first, he was expressionless, but then his expression changed.

Are you sure it's that woman?

"It's the one who lives in Ruijing Garden."

Bai Yan closed his eyes to rest: "Ignore her."

“Yes.” Assistant Zhou nodded. “Your flight to Morren is at 4 p.m., and you have an important online meeting in an hour, which will last about three hours.”

Bai Yan: "Okay, let's arrange it."

"Yes, then you can rest first."

Qu Yi never saw Bai Yan at Ruijing Garden. A few days later, she learned that he had gone to Molun on a business trip.

That night, she woke up from her dream and saw that it was only 3:20 a.m.

My afternoon dinner seemed a bit too salty, and now my mouth is a little dry.

I heard a noise while I went out to get some water.

It seems someone has entered Ruijing Garden.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Qu Yi looked towards the door and sure enough, he saw a car driving by. Under the retro and exquisite streetlights, a long leg stepped out first, and then his whole body was exposed to the light.

He was very tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He had jet-black hair, handsome features, sharp facial lines, and eyes filled with a dark, gloomy depth, as still as stagnant water.

The man seemed to sense something and looked over. Qu Yi hadn't turned on the lights, and the place was very dark, so he didn't notice anything and looked away.
