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.
