Xie Yan spent the last few days waiting for her results quite comfortably.

She used to be busy making money all the time, and she didn't have any free time during her university years. Now she has money and free time, and she can squander as much time as she wants.

She would go to Gu's company every few days, partly to handle company documents and partly to supervise Xie Qingyu's studies.

Xie Qingyu was completely baffled.

One head is eighty big.

He was really panicking!

People will do anything when they're desperate!

Besides math problems.

It's better to have him make PowerPoint presentations than do math problems.

So whenever he worked on a problem for a while, he would get into a passionate performance, secretly text his secretary to come in, and then, right in front of his secretary—

The man in the sharp suit had a cold expression, his brows furrowed, his face full of hatred and disgust, and his voice was so icy it seemed like ice crystals were about to fall out!

"Ms. Xie, I need to get back to work now, please leave!"

Xie Qingyu's voice was cheeky: [Smite, Masai, nee-chan, Watashi is acting, hehehe~]

The secretary kept her eyes downcast, feeling immense pity for Miss Xie, who was so deeply in love and wished she could come to see Mr. Gu every day.

Seeing that Miss Xie was still forcing a smile, the secretary felt a little sorry for her.

“…Um, Miss Xie…” She wanted to gently ask Miss Xie to leave.

But Xie Yan smiled gently at her, then turned to look at CEO Gu, her voice as soft and gentle as ever, "Then I'll be going now, see you next time~"

Xie Yan: [You're going to die soon. You'd better keep one eye on guard while you sleep tonight :)]

Xie Qingyu: [Waaaaah, take care, sister!]

Xie Yan rolled her eyes and left, and the air in the office suddenly became quiet.

Mr. Gu sat expressionlessly in his chair, seemingly letting out a faint sigh of relief.

The secretary stood there idly, "...Mr. Gu, why did you call me in...?"

Xie Qingyu was startled when he suddenly heard a human voice.

Oh, there's another person here.

He paused for two seconds, then reached out and pulled out one of the documents that Xie Yan had just marked, glanced at it twice, and handed it over.

"Prepare according to these requirements. We'll have a group meeting this afternoon and get a plan out for me as soon as possible."

The secretary took the document and said, "Okay, Mr. Gu."

Stepping out of the office, the secretary began to peruse the documents in her hand.

Clear and logical, with strict requirements.

It even clearly lists the sub-tasks for each item, as well as the precautions that require special attention.

Super thoughtful.

The secretary was full of praise as she looked at the document. Mr. Gu has become more and more outstanding lately!

She quickly took the documents to the relevant department, and then the group went to prepare for the afternoon meeting.

Xie Yan went back to the Gu family first.

It's broad daylight. Gu Jinhua has already gone abroad on a business trip, Xie Qingyu is at the company, and Shen Yan should be at school. In short, no one is home right now.

As soon as she arrived at the Gu family home, the butler greeted her with a smile, "Miss Xie is back. Isn't the young master with you?"

"Okay, I'm coming back to change my clothes. I'm going out again later."

"Ok."

Bai Xiao contacted her these past two days.

To be honest, if Bai Xiao hadn't taken the initiative to call and ask when she was free to go out for dinner, Xie Yan would have almost forgotten about this person.

She saved Bai Xiao once on the show, and Bai Xiao's parents were very grateful to her, insisting on thanking her in person.

You can't avoid going even if you want to.

Xie Yan thought for a moment. After all, the Bai family was a prominent family and they probably wouldn't go to a down-to-earth restaurant. She had to change into something more formal.

Bai Xiao sent her the address, which was a seafood restaurant, and asked if she wanted him to pick her up. Xie Yan said no, no.

In the afternoon, Xie Yan took a taxi directly to the restaurant.

As soon as you get out of the taxi, you can see the huge fountain outside the hotel. There are Greek statues in the pool, and the water spraying out like flower petals shimmers with rainbow colors in the sunlight.

It was indeed a very luxurious hotel. Xie Yan was glad that she had gone home specifically to change her clothes.

Two uniformed receptionists were standing at the hotel entrance. Xie Yan didn't recognize any of them, so she prepared to call Bai Xiao to ask which private room he was in.

Suddenly, Xie Yan felt someone tug at her from behind.

I looked back, but I didn't see anyone.

She lowered her head, revealing a pretty little girl.

The little girl had long hair and wore a small crown. She looked to be no more than ten years old. She was small in stature, with a delicate and fair face, and big, bright eyes that blinked. She looked like a little princess from a wealthy family.

Her expression was serious, and her voice was deliberately deep, "Are you Miss Xie? Are you here to see my brother?"

The little girl looked up at the tall, beautiful older sister in front of her, thinking about the photo her brother had shown her; it couldn't be wrong.

The beautiful older sister, Xie Yan, raised her eyebrows with interest, then bent down, bringing her exquisitely beautiful face closer with a smile.

"Oh? Who's your brother?"

The little girl glanced away for a moment, then said seriously, "You don't even know my brother... No, you haven't said yet, are you Miss Xie?"

She was wearing a well-fitting cheongsam, but the material was different from that of an adult's cheongsam. It was a breathable and comfortable material similar to cotton and linen, making it look like a custom-made cheongsam.

The neckline also features a small lapel, tied with a light, fluttering little bow tie—a pure white bow that is quite unique.

Coupled with her serious demeanor, she is the epitome of a proper little queen.

I never expected Bai Xiao to have such an interesting younger sister.

"I am you, little friend. I'm here to find your brother. Please take me inside to find your brother."

The child's hair was black, shiny, and smooth, like silk. He was so well-behaved that Xie Yan couldn't resist gently touching it.

Roar, roar, roar.

It feels so good! Just as comfortable as I imagined!

The little girl pouted, not too happy, but then she remembered that Xie Yan had saved her brother, so she reluctantly agreed.

She reached out to pull Xie Yan.

My brother said that we should be more ladylike and polite to Miss Xie.

Although she didn't like her brother, she could still listen to him even if she had to.

Xie Yan was quite flattered and surprised when the Queen took her hand and led the way.

"What's your name?"

"Chinese cabbage."

"...Huh??" Xie Yan's cerebellum shrank for a moment.

Without batting an eye, the girl pulled Xie Yan into the elevator, her tone calm, "My nickname is Little Cabbage, and my real name is Bai Song."

Xie Yan chuckled.

It startled her, and she said, "Why did you give your child such a name?"

Their private room was on the fourth floor. As soon as Bai Song and Xie Yan got off the elevator, someone came up to lead them.

The private room was decorated in a purely Chinese style, with a wooden door and an embroidered screen, and several people were sitting at a large table.

Xie Yan immediately recognized Bai Xiao sitting next to her. He was wearing a black shirt and vest, with his suit jacket off to the side.

It was obviously because he was wearing a suit in the sweltering heat that he felt so hot; even turning on the air conditioner didn't help.

"Mom, I've brought Miss Xie up!"

The people at the table immediately stood up to greet him, showing exceptional enthusiasm.

Especially Bai's father, who was slightly overweight and had a shrewd appearance, rushed to Xie Yan in a few quick steps and grabbed one of her hands, shaking it up and down.

"My benefactor—!!"

Not to be outdone, Bai's mother rushed over in her eight-centimeter high heels, grabbed Xie Yan's other hand, and shook it up and down as well.

"My savior—!!!"

Xie Yan's hands were forced to swing involuntarily. She suddenly felt like one of those inflatable figures placed at the entrance of a supermarket during a promotion, swaying in the wind, unable to control her own body.

She looked at Bai Xiao for help.

Bai Xiao rolled her eyes at her parents' enthusiastic backs, then rushed over and slammed on the brakes, bowing ninety degrees to Xie Yan.

"Thank you so much, Sister Xie!!!"

Xie Yan: "..." Is this joke going to never be forgotten?

Her gaze shifted to a certain Queen Cabbage.

Goodness, so you're the only normal person in this family after all.

Indeed, to name a child "Little Cabbage" is quite remarkable; this family is certainly extraordinary and has a beautiful spirit.

Little Cabbage silently turned her gaze away, trying to pretend she didn't know these people.

Xie Yan gave an awkward laugh a few times, finally ending this inflatable scene and regaining control of her arms.

Bai Xiao was the only son of the Bai family... Oh, that was a few years ago, because he has a younger sister now.

But this did not affect his status in his parents' hearts. Bai Xiao grew up in a pampered environment, getting whatever he wanted and whatever he said. He could enter the entertainment industry whenever he wanted and easily become a top star.

If something were to happen to someone who is so pampered and loved, Bai's parents wouldn't even dare to imagine how devastated they would be.

Mr. Bai arrogantly threw the menu aside and told the hotel to bring out everything they could name, from Australian lobster and hairy crab to sashimi, oysters, scallops, and abalone.

Xie Yan: ...No need. She can eat a lot, but she's not a pig.

Mr. Bai's expression was excited and proud. "Xiaoxiao said that you actors are all quite concerned about your figure and afraid of gaining weight, so we specially chose this place. Seafood is not fattening, so you can eat without worry!"

Xie Yan: I can't eat, I really can't eat.

Bai's mother was very young-looking, with delicate and radiant skin. Her facial features clearly showed that she was a great beauty in her youth. She was also dressed in a beautiful and appropriate cheongsam formal suit, and she instructed Bai Xiao, "Quickly peel shrimp for Miss Xie!"

Bai Xiao, who was always willful and domineering, lost her temper with her parents and reluctantly picked up a prawn with her delicate fingers and started peeling it.

Although he was wearing gloves, he had never done this kind of shrimp-peeling work before; the nanny always peeled them for him.

But peeling a shrimp for Sister Xie is no big deal, after all, life is more important.

Xiao Baicai sat opposite Xie Yan, revealing an awkward yet polite expression, then buried her face so low she almost wanted to shove it into the bowl.

How shameful!

Xie Yan was both amused and exasperated when she saw Bai Xiao's disgusted yet forced-to-peel shrimp.

She finally couldn't resist and stood up to say a few polite words.

"Uncle and Aunt, I am already honored to have dinner with you two business tycoons today. Moreover, I believe that anyone would have helped Bai Xiao in that situation. It is only human nature, so you don't need to do this."

She turned to look at Bai Xiao, who was sweating profusely while peeling shrimp, and just wanted to laugh, "Stop peeling, you're wasting the shrimp."

The shrimp on his plate were peeled into tiny pieces, half of the shrimp meat had been scraped off, and his gloves were torn.

I really don't know how they peeled it.

The shrimp paid with their lives for this! We must not waste food!

Bai's mother was deeply moved.

She turned around, rummaged through her bag, and then slammed something onto the table.

"Miss Xie, we're just ordinary people, we have nothing but money, you must accept this!"

"Yes!" Mr. Bai nodded vigorously, picked up the gift, and placed it in front of Bai Xiao. "You must accept it! It's a small token of our appreciation!"
