Chapter 616: Chapter 609: Acting

Leng Liewei thought that Bai Yiran should have children while she’s still young. In the future, Xiao Lang and Xiao Xi wouldn’t have such a big age gap, and they could grow up together. After all, the Leng Family has plenty of money; raising another child wouldn’t be a problem.

However, it would be best if it’s a boy! That way, Huamei International would have an heir.

Upon hearing these words from Leng Liewei, Bai Yiran remained silent. He knew it was impossible for Leng Liewei to fully accept Xiao Lang; being able to sit together for a meal without a cold face was already a big progress.

After all, who wouldn’t want their future heir to be their biological child?

Of course, when Bai Yiran adopted Xiao Lang, she hadn’t planned for him to have anything to do with Huamei International in the future. She just wanted to give Xiao Lang a home, a warm place.

Finally, the meal ended with the topic of when Bai Yiran would have a second child.

Qi Hui remained silent throughout, while Old Qi, being an outsider, didn’t feel it was appropriate to speak. He couldn’t make a difference when his own daughter hadn’t even made a legitimate name for herself yet.

Qi Hui stared at Bai Yiran, her hand touching her stomach, her gaze unfathomable yet flickering with a ghostly light.

After the New Year, Bai Yiran went to the company to process her resignation papers, really not wanting to delay the normal operations of the company because of her.

This time, Bai Yiran was very steadfast, and no matter how Yao Zhiqing tried to persuade, she wouldn’t change her mind.

The situation was simply too dangerous now, and before Wu Chengzu was captured, Leng Yichen couldn’t possibly let Bai Yiran go out to work, especially since Yao Zhiqing’s company and Wu Chengzu’s company were located in the same building.

Originally, Leng Yichen didn’t want Bai Yiran to come for the resignation process, but Bai Yiran didn’t agree, since she and Yao Zhiqing had been teacher and student, moreover Yao Zhiqing really took care of her during work, based on the principle of a good ending, Bai Yiran felt it reasonable for her to come personally to resign.

Pressured by Leng Yichen, Bai Yiran’s resignation process was handled very quickly, without any unnecessary harshness.

Knowing that Bai Yiran was leaving, Brother Zhou accompanied her throughout the resignation process and finally personally sent her downstairs, where she bumped into Wu Chengzu walking into the building.

The two faced each other, Wu Chengzu’s eyes filled with surprise, not expecting to run into Bai Yiran today, "Long time no see."

"Yes, long time no see Mr. Wu."

Upon hearing Bai Yiran still referring to him as Mr. Wu, irritation surged within Wu Chengzu.

"Did you come to work?" Wu Chengzu suppressed his irritation and asked.

"No." Bai Yiran shook her head, "I resigned."

"Resigned?" Wu Chengzu raised his brows, "Your husband demanded it?"

Conversing with Wu Chengzu was exhausting; it was unclear which of his words were probing and which were innocently spoken.

For instance, like now, Bai Yiran wondered how she should answer.

Is it yes or no?

Would Wu Chengzu infer something from her answer and become suspicious?

As Bai Yiran was contemplating how to respond, Leng Yichen strode in, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Wu Chengzu, "Why is it taking so long? What’s the holdup?"

Leng Yichen’s tone was cold with impatience, Bai Yiran blinked innocently, "It’s done."

Then she turned to Wu Chengzu, who was waiting for an answer, "Sorry Mr. Wu, I’ll be leaving first!"

After bidding farewell to Brother Zhou, Bai Yiran ran to Leng Yichen like a little wife.

Wu Chengzu watched the two leave, observing Bai Yiran’s cautious demeanor in front of Leng Yichen, his gaze darkened.

Leng Yichen had parked the car right at the entrance, and the two immediately got into the vehicle.

"Earlier I was acting for Wu Chengzu’s benefit, don’t overthink it." Leng Yichen said after getting into the car.

"Yes, I know!" Bai Yiran resumed her earlier demeanor, "I was acting too."

Leng Yichen chuckled, reached out, and pinched Bai Yiran’s nose.

Bai Yiran couldn’t help but sigh, probably after this she could actually take up acting.
