CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 87: BAI QIANYU IS BACK

However, Bai Yiran became busy. It wouldn’t be long before Huamei International’s annual partner appreciation gala, which would invite many industry enterprises to attend. The HR and Administrative Department needed to cooperate with the Marketing Department to complete this gala. Under Qi Hui’s leadership, employees from both major departments started working overtime day and night.

Bai Yiran glanced at the time; it was already nearing nine in the evening. She looked up at Qi Hui, who was still discussing project costs, and couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed she wouldn’t be going home anytime soon.

Just as Bai Yiran was lamenting about not knowing how late she would be working tonight, Qi Hui’s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID nonchalantly, prepared to decline the call, but was suddenly startled upon realizing who was calling. Her eyes sparkled with a strange light as she quickly answered the call, her tone respectful and gentle.

"Mr. Leng... yes, still working... it’s alright, I don’t feel tired... hmm? But... okay! I understand!"

After hanging up, Qi Hui’s usually competent face softened rarely as she said to the weary employees, "Everyone, you’ve worked hard. Let’s call it a day and go home to rest."

The crowd, as if granted amnesty, quickly scrambled to leave for home.

Bai Yiran watched Qi Hui’s face full of tenderness and mused inwardly. If she guessed right, that call must have been from Leng Yichen. What exactly did Leng Yichen say to make this workaholic let everyone go home?

Bai Yiran felt like a little wife suspicious of her husband. With a mind full of thoughts, she slowly packed up as the last person to leave the office.

Recently, her car had been having minor issues and was taken to the 4S shop for repairs. Bai Yiran was about to hail a ride home when a Bugatti slowly stopped in front of her. The passenger door opened, revealing the handsome Leng Yichen in the driver’s seat.

Bai Yiran was astonished. This was the first time she had seen Leng Yichen driving; so he could drive! She looked around, relieved to find that no one else was around, and quickly got into the car.

"Why are you here?"

Leng Yichen started the car, eyes fixed on the road ahead, and said, "What’s wrong with picking up my wife from work?"

"You were the one who called Qi Hui just now, which is why she let us off work, right?"

Leng Yichen didn’t say anything but reached out to gently brush Bai Yiran’s slightly tired face.

"What did you say to her? She seemed very pleased." Bai Yiran didn’t even notice the hint of jealousy in her voice.

Leng Yichen glanced at Bai Yiran and chuckled, "I just told her to leave work early and rest, otherwise you’d continue working overtime."

"But that’s not what she seemed to think, she..."

"What’s the matter? Are you jealous?" Leng Yichen teased, one hand on the steering wheel, the other resting on Bai Yiran’s hair. "I’m just concerned about whether you would be tired; how she thinks doesn’t matter to me."

Bai Yiran looked at Leng Yichen, thinking how he insists on keeping work and personal matters separate. Yet, Leng Yichen called Qi Hui to stop her from working late, which filled Bai Yiran’s heart with sweetness.

In the dark night, a Bugatti sped down the highway, heading towards home not far away.

At the Bai Family home, Gu Manli had just finished showering and came out to find Bai Hongguang lying in bed reading a book.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang loudly downstairs.

Soon, there was the sound of the door being opened.

"Hong Guang, who could it be this late?"

As soon as Gu Manli spoke, they heard Bai Qianyu’s voice from downstairs.

"Mom! Dad! I’m back!"
