Bai Xi frowned slightly, looking at the person before her, a hint of impatience in her eyes: "Speak, what do you want by insisting on seeing me? I will not let Bai Lian go."
Bai Lian had allowed her servants to harm her brother, and then falsely accused her with the child in her womb. Naturally, Bai Xi would not let her off easily.
Zhou Wen heard Bai Xi's cold voice and laughed instead of getting angry: "Xi'er, I'm not here for that slut this time, but for you."
As he spoke, he handed the flowers in his hand directly to Bai Xi: "I remember you liked Baby's Breath and tulips the most. This Baby's Breath paired with yellow tulips is as beautiful as the starry sky."
Bai Xi looked at the flowers handed to her and did not reach out: "The person who liked Baby's Breath and tulips wasn't me, it was Bai Lian."
She did like flowers when she was a child, but after Lin Yun's health worsened as she grew up, she became particularly sensitive and disliked these things.
She remembered that Zhou Wen had sent her these two types of flowers when he was pursuing her. At that time, she hadn't thought much of it. Now, looking back... he had probably learned about her from Bai Lian long ago.
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he was too awkward to speak.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, Bai Xi said faintly: "If there's nothing else, take your people and leave the Bai family villa quickly. Don't provoke me."
Zhou Wen was blind and deaf, and Zhou Li was ungrateful. He had provoked her time and time again, yet she hadn't resorted to extreme measures, only out of respect for the old patriarch of the Zhou family. If he, Zhou Wen, was also ungrateful, then she truly wouldn't be polite.
Zhou Wen saw how distant Bai Xi was, a hint of hidden pain in his eyes: "Xi'er, can you stop being so indifferent to me?"
Indifferent?
They weren't close to begin with. After the various "utterly ridiculous" incidents before, the fact that they weren't at each other's throats already showed her cultivation and patience. How much more "warmth" did he expect?
"If you want to act, go to the theater. Don't do it in front of my Bai family villa." Bai Xi looked at Zhou Wen, who had inexplicably fallen into his own emotions, feeling somewhat speechless. Her patience had reached its limit: "Someone, escort Mr. Zhou out."
As soon as she said this, two men in black tight-fitting clothes immediately stepped forward, ready to escort him.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen threw away the flowers in his arms and casually took out a beautiful brocade box. Inside the box was an exquisite ruby ring. He knelt on one knee.
Upon seeing this scene, the two men in black tight-fitting clothes hesitated for a moment and did not step forward.
If he was causing trouble, they could drive him away.
But this... was a marriage proposal, wasn't it? Should they still drive him away? It was better to wait for the eldest miss to give instructions. Overstepping one's bounds was not allowed in front of Bai Shen!
Zhou Wen said with a hint of deep affection: "Xi'er, our engagement is still valid. Will you marry me?"
Bai Xi's brows twitched slightly, and she said faintly: "No need to throw him out. Send Mr. Zhou directly to the psychiatric rehabilitation hospital."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two men in black tight-fitting clothes, who had been standing there, finally moved and went to grab Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was quickly apprehended, but he still shouted at Bai Xi: "Xi'er, six years ago you suddenly disappeared. Bai Lian told me you eloped with another man. Do you know how I survived these six years? I drank, suffered from insomnia, was in pain, and tormented, living like a walking dead for these six years."
Bai Xi frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen thought his words had moved Bai Xi and immediately said: "I know I was wrong before, wrong to believe Bai Lian's words and misunderstand you. Actually, after you came back, I've been waiting for you to give me an explanation. As long as you explain, I'll believe you!"
Bai Xi raised her hand, stopping the black-clad men from taking Zhou Wen away.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen thought Bai Xi had forgiven him and felt a surge of joy: "Xi'er, I really love you. Now that Bai Lian, the obstacle, is gone, I'm willing to fulfill our previous engagement. Let's get married."
As he finished speaking, he once again presented the beautiful ruby ring.
The men in black tight-fitting clothes felt as if their eyes were about to go blind.
Although it was said that a strong woman was afraid of a persistent man, who would have thought that a wise and great woman like Bai Shen would also be troubled by love...
While he was thinking, Bai Xi suddenly delivered a flying kick, hitting Zhou Wen directly on the shoulder, forcefully sending him flying about a meter away.
She said faintly: "I'll say it one last time, scram!"
Her words today had truly exhausted her last bit of patience with Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen was still shifting the blame, his skill at deflecting responsibility so high that he must have been a chef in his previous life.
According to him, she, Bai Xi, had left during their engagement period, inexplicably abandoning him, Zhou Wen. And Bai Lian was the one who had plotted, deceived, and harmed him.
It was as if he, Zhou Wen, was the only one who had been hurt in this matter, and they were the instigators.
Zhou Wen clearly hadn't realized what was happening. After a long while, he got up and said: "Bai Xi, I've apologized to you, and I've told you I've always loved you. What else do you want?"
He did love Bai Xi, from the first time he saw her in his youth until now.
Even though he had mistakenly believed Bai Lian, the hatred for Bai Xi's betrayal constantly reminded him that she loved Bai Xi.
And now that he had admitted his mistakes and paid his dues, what else did she want?
As he spoke, he rushed forward, eagerly wanting to grab Bai Xi's hand.
A cold glint flashed in Bai Xi's eyes. The lollipop in her hand was ready, but just as she was about to strike, another hand grabbed Zhou Wen's hand, stopping his presumptuous behavior: "Mr. Zhou, do you know that reaching out to a girl without permission is a very impolite act?"
Zhou Wen was slightly startled and looked at the man who had grabbed his hand.
The man was extraordinarily handsome, wearing a pair of stylish metal-rimmed glasses. His beautiful eyes looked at him, and although he was smiling gently, he gave off an indescribable sense of dread.
Zhou Wen instinctively withdrew his hand and looked at the man warily: "Who are you?"
Han Mo smiled slightly: "My name is Han Mo. I am the Eldest Miss's... private physician."
Bai Xi glanced sideways at Han Mo, who was standing beside her.
She knew Han Mo was standing behind her, but... had he moved a little too fast? He was even standing beside her, and she hadn't noticed for a moment.
What was going on?
Could it be... Zhou Wen was so disgusting that her sensitivity had decreased?
Zhou Wen frowned: "He's just a servant. My business with Xi'er has nothing to do with you."
He had been shocked by the danger in Han Mo's eyes just now, but he hadn't expected... he was just a private doctor, a servant in this villa.
Han Mo showed no sign of being bothered by Zhou Wen's obvious disdain. Instead, he smiled slightly and said: "I am responsible for all of the Eldest Miss's physical well-being, and that naturally includes her mood. Your presence affects her mood, so naturally, I cannot ignore it."
