Shangguan Ding walked over and sat down beside Jian Xing'er. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed her heavy expression and tactfully stopped.

“Hou Cheng is already dead,” Jian Xing'er said.

“I saw the news.” Shangguan Ding went forward and patted her shoulder to comfort her. “Well done. A person like him should have died long ago.”

Shangguan Ding stood up and poured Jian Xing'er a glass of warm water. “My father is coming to Sea City for a tour next week. He invited you to listen to him sing.”

“I'm sorry, there are too many things to do in the corporation, so I don't have time to go.” Jian Xing'er shook her head. The most important thing now was revenge, so how could she have the mood to go to the concert? What's more, she knew that Shangguan Ding's father wanted to matchmake the two of them. If she agreed to go, he would misunderstand her relationship with Shangguan Ding.

“Don't be in a hurry to reject me.” Shangguan Ding smiled meaningfully. “When that day comes, you'll definitely come with me willingly.” Jian Xing'er snorted. She really didn't know what gave Shangguan Ding the confidence. No one could force her to do something she didn't want to do.

Just as the two of them were talking, a servant came to report that Bai Hao's secretary had brought a little boy to visit.

“Invite them in.” Jian Xing'er nodded slightly.

“Alright, Miss Jian!” The servant quickly walked out. Not long after, she walked in with her secretary and Bai Hao's grandson, Bai Qingchen. When the two of them walked to the hall, Jian Xing'er suddenly realized that she had seen this little boy before.

“Hello, Brother and Sister. My name is Bai Qingchen. Sorry to disturb you today.” Bai Qingchen walked up to the two of them and greeted Jian Xing'er and Shangguan Ding generously.

When Shangguan Ding saw that Bai Qingchen was so handsome and polite, he had a good impression of him.

“I've prepared a gift for you two. I hope you two like it.” Bai Qingchen reached into his backpack and dug around. In the end, he took out two round stones. “These are pebbles we picked up from the beach during kindergarten. I'm giving them to you.”

“What a beautiful stone. Thank you!” Shangguan Ding smiled as he accepted the stone from Bai Qingchen. Then, he placed it in his expensive shirt pocket solemnly. He liked this cute little boy very much.

“Miss Jian, sorry to trouble you with Young Master's illness!” The secretary bowed to Jian Xing'er respectfully.

“Why isn't your president here?” Jian Xing'er was a little displeased. “Your president is so arrogant. He actually sent a secretary to deal with me. Looks like he really doesn't take me seriously.”

Bai Hao begged her to do something, but he didn't show up from the beginning to the end and appointed his secretary to communicate with her. This made Jian Xing'er a little unhappy. It was as if she was the one begging him to do something.

The secretary's attitude was respectful as he said, “Miss Jian, you've misunderstood. Of course, the president wants to see you, but he has encountered some trouble recently and can't leave. The president said that after he settles the matter, he'll come over to apologize to you immediately!”

“There's no need. How can I afford President Bai's apology?!” Jian Xing'er smiled coldly.

The secretary looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Jian Xing'er's gaze swept past the secretary and realized that there was a woman standing behind him. That woman was wearing a black shirt and black pants as she stood behind the secretary silently. Jian Xing'er asked the secretary, “This is?”

“I forgot to introduce her to you. She's the bodyguard in charge of protecting the young master.” The secretary quickly explained, “It's not that the president doesn't trust you, but the young master has been weak and sickly since he was young, so he has to be protected 24 hours a day.”

Jian Xing'er nodded and didn't probe further. Bai Hao's actions were understandable. If she were him, she wouldn't be at ease handing her favorite grandson to a stranger either.

“Miss Jian, 1'11 be waiting nearby. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time.” The secretary placed his name card on the coffee table and left.

The female bodyguard stayed behind with Bai Qingchen. The bodyguard stood less than a meter away from Bai Qingchen, but she remained silent. She even deliberately muted her breathing, as if she was afraid of disturbing them. It was obvious that she had undergone professional training.

“Brother, is Sister Jian your wife?” Bai Qingchen asked Shangguan Ding curiously.

“Of course. How could you tell?” Shangguan Ding laughed and couldn't help but tease him.

“Because the two of you look very compatible when you stand together. Moreover, 1 saw it on television. Those who live together are husband and wife!”

“Don't listen to his nonsense! We don't have anything to do with each other!” Jian Xing'er frowned and explained, “We're just business partners, understand? Just like your classmates. If you keep making wild guesses, I won't treat you anymore..”
