"Baby Bai!" At the airport, Wen Sining spotted Bai Ziyan squatting by the roadside, munching on a lollipop. She excitedly let out a shout.
"Sister Ningning!" Bai Ziyan suddenly jumped up from the ground and was about to rush over for a bear hug when the tall figure behind him grabbed the back of his collar.
"Put on your mask. No hugging," the tall figure said in a deep voice.
Bai Ziyan immediately caved in. He let out an "okay" and quickly fished out a mask from his pocket. Then he bounced over to Wen Sining, grabbing her hand and hopping up and down.
"Sister Ningning, I haven't seen you for so long. I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too. But weren't you developing your career abroad? Why did you suddenly come back to China? Hey, Mr. Xue, good to see you."
"Ms. Wen," Xue Qing nodded at Wen Sining.
Bai Ziyan was nineteen years old this year, standing at 1.75 meters. He had a slender build but a very cute baby face. He naturally looped his arm through Wen Sining's and pointed a finger at Xue Qing behind him.
"Brother Qing's family urged him to come back. And the domestic racing circle is developing really fast, so I just came back with him. I'll probably be developing my career in China for a long time. How about it, Sister Ningning? Aren't you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. When you have a race, I'll definitely go to the scene to support you. I'll make a huge banner for you. You'll definitely be the most eye - catching guy in the crowd."
Bai Ziyan's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay. You said it. If you go back on your word, I won't talk to you for three days."
Wen Sining smiled and then turned to look at Xue Qing, who was silently pushing the luggage aside. "Mr. Xue, have you and Bai Bai settled on a place to stay? If not, I'll arrange it for you."
"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Wen. We've already made the arrangements."
"Okay. Then I'll drive you to the hotel to drop off your luggage first."
Wen Sining drove them to the pre - booked hotel. Coincidentally, this hotel was under the Lu Group, and it wasn't far from the Lu Group's office building.
"Sister Ningning, I've been abroad, so I didn't know. I only found out from the news after I came back. When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me? I didn't even get to drink your wedding wine."
Once they arrived at the hotel, Bai Ziyan plopped down on the bed and looked at Wen Sining with a pout.
"We clearly promised each other that we'd tell each other when we got married."
Wen Sining let out a bitter laugh. "It's just a business marriage. We just got the marriage certificate in a hurry. It doesn't really count as getting married. When I find my true love in the future and hold a wedding, I'll send you an invitation."
"You said it. Don't go back on your word."
"I won't. If you don't believe me, we can pinky - swear."
"Okay. Pinky - swear. We won't change for a hundred years. Whoever goes back on their word is a puppy."
After they pinky - swore, Xue Qing had also finished unpacking all the luggage. Wen Sining checked the time and then stood up. "It's getting late. Bai Bai, Mr. Xue, if you don't mind, I'll treat you to lunch."
Xue Qing glanced at Bai Ziyan, who was eager, and nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Wen."
So Wen Sining took them to the famous Sky Garden Restaurant in Licheng.
Although Bai Ziyan had been abroad, he was a true Chinese and loved Chinese cuisine. When ordering, he ordered a whole bunch of fancy dishes, but Xue Qing tapped him on the head with his finger.
"No wasting food. Order as much as you can eat."
Bai Ziyan covered his head and complained. "But I haven't tried these before."
"Mr. Xue is right. If you order more than you can eat, it'll be a waste. If you can't finish them this time, you can come back with Mr. Xue next time. I tell you, the view here is even better at night."
"Really? Brother Qing, let's come back at night."
Xue Qing looked at him fondly and reached out to rub the spot he had just tapped. "Okay. It's up to you."
After lunch, Wen Sining took Bai Ziyan to several famous scenic spots and amusement places in Licheng. Bai Ziyan had so much fun that he didn't even want to leave.
Xue Qing and Wen Sining stood side by side, watching Bai Ziyan skating on the ice rink. Xue Qing took the initiative to speak. "Ms. Wen, thank you. Xiao Yan hasn't been this happy for a long time."
Wen Sining smiled faintly. "It's nothing, Mr. Xue. I've always regarded Bai Bai as my younger brother. I don't want him to be depressed forever. But... is there really no way to treat Bai Bai's injury?"
"Not yet. The doctor said he can't be stimulated, or his condition might get worse. But I heard that there's an old Chinese doctor in China who's very good at treating brain diseases, so I brought him back specifically to have a look."
"So this is the real purpose of your coming back this time. Can Bai Bai still participate in races now? He loves racing so much. If he can't race, it must be very painful for him."
"The doctor said it's better not to touch racing. Fortunately, Bai Bai's memory is not very good now, so we can barely get by."
"… If you need any help, just let me know."
Xue Qing looked back at Wen Sining and smiled. "Xiao Yan is really lucky to know you."
"Brother Qing, what are you and Sister Ningning standing there for? Come down and play. It's so much fun."
Wen Sining waved her hands repeatedly. "Bai Bai, please spare me. You know how badly I fall every time I get on the ice. I don't want to bruise my butt again. You should play with Mr. Xue... Hey, hey, Bai Bai, what are you doing? Don't pull me. Aaaaaah, I'm gonna fall..."
Soon, there came Wen Sining's shrill screams on the ice.
When they left the ice rink, Wen Sining rubbed her butt, which felt like it had been split into eight pieces. She grimaced in pain.
Bai Ziyan and Xue Qing had their own arrangements for the evening, so Wen Sining didn't interfere. Originally, she wanted to go straight home, but Bai Ziyan suddenly remembered that the gift he brought for Wen Sining was still in the hotel. So she went to the hotel with them to get the gift first and then drove home.
However, what she didn't notice was that when she came out of the hotel, Lu Luochen's car was parked not far across the street, and Lu Luochen was sitting inside.
He witnessed with his own eyes Wen Sining walking into the hotel intimately with a baby - faced boy. Not long after, she came out of the hotel with a bag. From the hotel lobby to the car, it was obvious that her walking posture was a bit off.
Lu Luochen's face was as cold as ice. He suddenly turned the steering wheel and didn't go to the pre - arranged cocktail party. Instead, he followed Wen Sining's car all the way back to the Lu Mansion.
When Wen Sining got home, she found that the car following behind was Lu Luochen's. But her butt hurt so much that she probably had bruises. She wasn't in the mood to talk to him and just walked straight in.
However, after walking a few steps, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
