Thank you “Heart as vast as the sea” for your reward, kisses~

*****************************************

Li Shuqi is acquainted with Wang Xiaoduo. Earlier at a banquet, Bai Zihao even affectionately called Li Shuqi “Brother Shuqi.”

With so many people in the room, it clearly wasn’t what she had imagined.

Wang Xiaoduo knew she had made a mess of things.

Li Shuqi’s expression changed dramatically upon seeing the handprint on Li Shuning’s face: “Xiaoshu, what happened?”

Li Shuning looked at Bai Zihao with teary eyes, then lowered her head.

Bai Zihao’s face darkened upon seeing the finger marks on Li Shuning’s face.

He glared harshly at Wang Xiaoduo, who shrank back a bit, afraid to speak.

She knew she might have misunderstood, but she hadn’t done it on purpose. She was clearly Bai Zihao’s girlfriend, so why did Bai Zihao hide from her to go out?

Li Shuqi was genuinely angry. He didn’t know what his sister intended to do, but the fact that she had been slapped was hard for him to endure.

He looked coldly at Bai Zihao: “Zihao, take your girlfriend away. This time she slapped Xiaoshu, who knows what she’ll do next.”

Bai Zihao hesitated to speak as he glanced at Li Shuning, then softly said, “Xiaoshu, I’m sorry for what happened today. I’ll make it up to you.”

Having said this, Bai Zihao grabbed Wang Xiaoduo and prepared to leave.

Li Shuning suddenly spoke: “Mr. Bai, you don’t need to make it up to me. Actually, there’s nothing between us. Today I invited you to lunch to repay a previous favor, so let’s not contact each other anymore. Goodbye.”

Bai Zihao’s face looked even worse, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only lead Wang Xiaoduo away.

Upon returning to where Wang Xiaoduo lived, Bai Zihao immediately cast her aside.

Wang Xiaoduo nearly fell but managed to steady herself by grabbing onto the sofa.

He unbuttoned his suit jacket and looked coldly at Wang Xiaoduo: “You followed me?”

Wang Xiaoduo dared not meet Bai Zihao’s eyes, but she knew that if today’s matter wasn’t resolved, her relationship with Bai Zihao might be over.

“Zihao, I’m sorry. I originally wanted to go to lunch with you today, but you said you were busy. So I went to a coffee shop to sit for a while, and when I left, I happened to see you leaving too. I called out to you, but your car had already driven away, so I called a taxi to chase after you. I didn’t expect you would enter someone else’s house. I remembered how you didn’t seem pleased when I wanted to join you before, so I thought you were in with another girl.”

Wang Xiaoduo, like Li Shuning earlier, had tears in her eyes. She knew Bai Zihao disliked her crying, so she mimicked the other girl’s look instinctively.

However, the act of mimicking only made Bai Zihao dislike her more.

“Zihao, today when I was waiting for you at the office, I went to the pantry. They saw me and talked about you being at the coffee shop with another girl, deliberately saying it for me to hear. That’s why I misunderstood, Zihao, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean it, and I’ll never make a mistake again. I will trust you completely.”

Bai Zihao looked at Wang Xiaoduo, doubting his judgment of why he had previously thought this woman suited him well.

Without a response from Bai Zihao, Wang Xiaoduo quickly added: “Zihao, you know I’ve always listened to you, and I will continue to listen to you. Zihao, I wanted to have lunch with you today because I have something to tell you. Zihao, you know, I’m pregnant.”

Bai Zihao froze for a moment, his face looking even grimmer.

Indeed, he developed some fondness for Li Xiaoshu, and now Wang Xiaoduo was pregnant?

In hindsight, Li Shuning’s aim wasn’t for Bai Zihao to shift his affections but merely to plant a thorn in his heart.

Subsequently, Bai Zihao tried calling Li Shuning, who did not answer and even moved to live with the Li Family.

Bai Zihao felt somewhat dispirited.

With thin offspring in the Bai Family, Bai Zihao’s mother took Wang Xiaoduo in upon learning she was pregnant.

After confirming pregnancy through a check-up — twins, Bai Zihao’s mother decided directly that the couple would marry.

On their wedding day, Li Shuning also attended.

Li Shulin returned, and Li Shuning accompanied him as his partner.

Seeing Li Shuning, Bai Zihao felt somewhat reluctant.

At five months pregnant, Wang Xiaoduo’s body had already deformed, looking worse compared to Li Shuning.

Only he couldn’t do anything about it now.

He looked at Li Shuning, but Li Shuning didn’t look back.

Wang Xiaoduo knew what Bai Zihao was thinking. Despite her dissatisfaction, she dared not express it, feeling reassured that, as long as the children were around, her position would not waver.

Initially, she managed to eliminate Li Shuning and, upon childbirth, she would invariably have an opportunity to teach Li Xiaoshu a lesson.

After marriage, Bai Zihao stopped sharing a bed with Wang Xiaoduo, spending every day at the company.

The more Bai Zihao behaved this way, the more Wang Xiaoduo detested Li Xiaoshu.

Meanwhile, the Li Family had made some preparation, started some actions.

Bai Zihao remained at the company, not solely due to Wang Xiaoduo, but because Bai Group had encountered some issues lately.

The host of that past banquet had already been suppressing the Bai Family, and recently — with numerous private maneuvers by the Li Family — causing the Bai Family to mistakenly believe it was still the same person suppressing them.

The Bai Family faced a considerable adversary.

On the eighth day after the wedding, Bai Zihao finally returned home.

Only then did Wang Xiaoduo learn why Bai Zihao was staying at the company all this time.

She felt some relief for not having argued with Bai Zihao.

Upon a quick thought, Wang Xiaoduo felt she had come up with a good idea.

After Bai Zihao showered and lay down, Wang Xiaoduo lay down beside him.

“Zihao, what are you thinking?”

Bai Zihao looked at Wang Xiaoduo and continued looking at the ceiling: “Nothing, just the company has been unsettled lately.”

“Zihao, I remember you said before that our family has a collaboration with the Li Family, right?”

“Yes.”

“Zihao, you seem to like Li Xiaoshu, don’t you? Actually, I don’t mind you having another woman, it’s just unfortunate that Li Xiaoshu has the Li Family backing her, they surely wouldn’t let Li Xiaoshu be your mistress, right?”

Bai Zihao looked at Wang Xiaoduo in shock.

Wang Xiaoduo gave a shy smile: “Zihao, you know, I liked you since we first met. For you, I’m willing to do anything, really anything, as long as I can be with you.”

“Moreover, since I’m pregnant, surely you’re feeling restrained, but now my body is out of shape, and considering it’s twins, I must ensure the babies’ safety, so I can’t help you, Zihao. It’s just a pity that Miss Li….”

Bai Zihao felt a stirring within his heart.

Wang Xiaoduo’s words seemed to have inspired him.
