Bai Zi Yan swept his eyes across the crowd and said indifferently: "Father once left a will saying that if I am able to get married within a year after I become an adult, I will obtain the 25% share he gave me. With the agreement of the directors, I will be able to work at the United States Headquarters."

In an instant, the study descended into a deathly silence. There was not a single sound, not even a breath of air. Other than Bai Zi Yan who threw away such explosive news, Zi Xiang's and the old lady's face changed.

It was like an atomic bomb in Hiroshima, blowing up all their hopes.

Bai Zi Yan looked at Qin Qi, who took out a few wills from his bag, and gave them to everyone.

"This is a copy of my father's will. I've made a copy of each of them."

It was written clearly on the will, in black and white, that if Bai Zi Yan could get married within a year, he would get 25% of the shares in his company.

Bai Zi Yan curled his lips: "If you don't believe me, you can find a lawyer to verify if it's father's handwriting."

"Zi Yan, Zi Xiang is your big brother, how can you pull him down from his position as the general manager?" The moment the Old Mistress saw the will, his mind started to move. Bai Zi Xiang's position was a gathering treasure pot, if he did not sit down, where would their money come from?

Bai Zi Yan laughed: As long as Grandmother agrees not to interfere in my marriage, I will agree to the old lady's request. Furthermore, I have already informed the board of directors, whether or not I want to take up any position, I still need to vote.

Bai Zi Xiang gently pulled the old lady's arm, and whispered: "Grandmother, forget it."

How could Old Mistress Bai take this lying down? However, when she saw the pleading look in his grandson's eyes, she could only say: "Alright, I agree. I will notify you through the election of the board of directors of your position."

"Thank you, Grandmother. Qin Qi, let's go."

The moment they opened the door, they saw Gao Lin Lin standing next to the door. None of them communicated with him, and each of them walked in a different direction.

Seeing Bai Zi Yan and Qin Qi walking down the stairs, the worry in Su Mu Ran's heart finally dropped.

"Your Little Wife seems to be worried about you." Qin Qi winked at him.

Bai Zi Yan glanced at him indifferently.

An uninteresting fellow!

Qin Qi shrugged his shoulders and followed him.

"Oh right, how do you plan to handle Liao Xi Yue's situation?"

The corner of Bai Zi Yan's mouth hooked into an ice-cold smile: "She's already useless. I don't want to see her again."

"Alright!" I'll go deal with it now. Hmph, I've disliked that woman since a long time ago. "

The two of them walked downstairs and ended the conversation.

"Brother, how is Big Brother Qin?" Bai Yin Yin and Su Mu Ran went forward and asked in concern.

"Yin Yin, you're still worried with your brother here?" Qin Qi patted her shoulder, "I have something on, I'll be leaving first, do you want me to send you off?"

Bai Yin Yin looked at Third Brother and Mu Ran, and nodded.

Bai Zi Yan turned and hooked his hand at Mu Ran.

As she approached, he took her hand and suggested, "Hungry?"

Su Mu Ran looked at his expression, but could not guess what he was thinking.

The two of them drove to a Hong Kong tea shop, and after the peak dinner, there were not many people in the restaurant, but Bai Zi Yan still chose a room.

Taking advantage of the time while Su Mu Ran was in the bathroom, Bai Zi Yan ordered a few refreshments and two bowls of porridge.

She sat back in her seat and drank a mouthful of wheat tea. The entire time, her lips formed a smile, and Bai Zi Yan glanced at her.

Not long later, all the dishes were served, and Bai Zi Yan placed a prawn dumpling into her bowl. Su Mu Ran suddenly said: "This is the first time you have said I am your wife in public."

Bai Zi Yan's movements paused for a few seconds, and did not reply.

When she was at her most helpless and helpless, every time he rescued her, everyone would look at his face, and he would always protect her. This kind of feeling was so warm and wonderful that it made one want to cry.

Bai Zi Yan lifted his head and looked into her bright eyes. He absentmindedly thought about a fat little girl from a long time ago, who he helped when she was bullied by her classmates. At that time, when she smiled and thanked him, her eyes seemed especially bright.

Later, he discovered that the girl, because of her fat, was often isolated by her classmates, sitting alone on the steps.

He sighed, thinking of his sister, and could not help but help her again and again.

After that, she would sincerely worship him, trust him, and share her little secrets and thoughts with him.

At the same time, he truly thought that his own little sister was caring and cherishing him.

It was only after that incident –

Memories stopped abruptly when the waiter added some tea.

He calmed himself down, put down his chopsticks, and rubbed her hair. His eyes were filled with gentleness. "Idiot, we are husband and wife."

Su Mu Ran blushed red and hummed in a low voice.

Facing his gentleness, she was helpless.

It was late at night by the time they finished dinner and drove home.

In the carriage, after listening to the engine, Su Mu Ran's eyelids drooped down slightly, her head slanted back onto the leather chair, and she fell asleep, a smile still on her face.

Bai Zi Yan stopped the car, lowered his head and looked at the sleeping figure, the corners of his mouth raised up to form a beautiful curve, he shook his head, and adjusted his position so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Su Mu Ran didn't know how she fell asleep, and didn't know when Bai Zi Yan carried her back to her bedroom. When she woke up, it was still dark outside, so she got off the bed, and looking at her white dress that was wrinkled, she directly took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to change.

When she came out of her room, she found out that Bai Zi Yan was there. She looked down. Only the living room on the first floor was lit, but there was no one downstairs.

In the light from downstairs, she passed the guest room, which was also dark.

She thought it would be in the study room. Just as Su Mu Ran wiped her hair and was about to turn around, she bumped into Bai Zi Yan who had just walked out of the other bathroom.

"Be careful!" Bai Zi Yan timely hugged her waist.

Su Mu Ran's heart trembled.

The feeling made her heart race and her mouth dry.

The two of them looked at each other. Under the light from downstairs, there seemed to be a slowly moving emotion.

Su Mu Ran licked his lips, the luster in his eyes deepened.
