"We can set up a new newspaper office. I have many manors under my command. I'll pick a large - scale one for you," Xue Lianyu said. "You can also choose the location. If necessary, we can just buy one."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiran couldn't help sighing that it was really great to be rich.
"The document is signed and the fingerprint is stamped. So you should go back quickly and keep writing for me. Write more so that I can have a good read at one go." Xue Lianyu was full of anticipation for the following plot. Seeing that he could take a shortcut, he immediately urged her to write.
"No way. What if you leak it?" Cheng Xiran put away her copy of the document and stood up.
"Tsk." Xue Lianyu raised his eyebrows. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Helian Duo, then leaned over to Cheng Xiran. "How about this, Miss Cheng? Why don't you marry me? With our business acumen, we'll surely earn another Huaguo within five years."
After saying that, he deliberately winked at Cheng Xiran. "I'm not bad - looking either. Aren't we a perfect match of a talented man and a beautiful woman?"
Before Cheng Xiran could reply, Helian Duo's cold voice interrupted, "Let's go, Cheng Xiran."
"Remember to think about it, Miss!" Ignoring Helian Duo's cold stare, Xue Lianyu waved to Cheng Xiran.
Before Cheng Xiran could react, Helian Duo pressed her neck and turned her around.
"Hey, I haven't replied to him yet." Cheng Xiran was forcibly pushed into the carriage. She was about to lift the curtain when Helian Duo's tall figure suddenly loomed over her.
Helian Duo looked down at Cheng Xiran. His glass - colored eyes reflected her image, which made Cheng Xiran suddenly recall the time when they accidentally hugged each other on the road.
It had to be said that Helian Duo really hit all the points that made Cheng Xiran's heart flutter from head to toe.
If the original owner hadn't caused all those love - hate relationships, she would have wanted to pursue Helian Duo.
"Cheng Xiran," Helian Duo's voice was very deep, and his body seemed to press down a little more.
"Wh...what's up?" Flushing, Cheng Xiran shifted her gaze uneasily.
"Make some room. I'm going to sit in." Helian Duo pointed at Cheng Xiran sitting in the middle of the seat and then at the small table blocking his legs.
Cheng Xiran bit the inner flesh of her cheek embarrassedly and then shrank to a corner instantly.
Helian Duo sat down. After a moment, he calmly said, "What's this? You were chasing after this king relentlessly a few days ago, but have you fallen for someone else today?"
"Huh?" Cheng Xiran turned to look at Helian Duo. What did he mean by that?
However, Helian Duo didn't continue talking, and Cheng Xiran didn't ask further. She just thought about where her newspaper office should be located.
Just as she was thinking about choosing a good location tomorrow, the carriage suddenly stopped.
"Are we there?" Cheng Xiran looked out of the window and found that it wasn't the gate of the prime minister's mansion.
Just then, the coachman outside said, "Your Highness, there's someone blocking the carriage ahead."
Cheng Xiran was surprised to hear this. How dare someone be so bold as to block the Regent's carriage?
Sure enough, Helian Duo frowned unhappily. Before he could say anything, the groom said, "Miss Xiao?"
"Your Highness, it's Miss Xiao outside."
As soon as Cheng Xiran heard this, her ears immediately perked up. If she remembered correctly, this Miss Xiao was probably Helian Duo's childhood sweetheart, Xiao Qi.
She was also the original owner's biggest competitor, at least in the original owner's own opinion.
Helian Duo got out of the carriage, and Cheng Xiran naturally followed. There, in front of the carriage, stood a girl in a light - yellow long dress. She was not only charming but also had a gentle and graceful temperament, looking like a well - bred young lady.
