"Mr. Bai, you know that getting involved with people who fancy you always leads to unnecessary trouble. I'm afraid they might take it seriously, get into character, and eventually believe the facade could become reality. I don't want such trouble. Secondly, Mr. Bai is a relative of President Huo and someone I trust. Our goals align to a certain extent. We won't squabble over unexpected incidents, right? We both wish the best for President Huo, so choosing you, Mr. Bai, is the smartest move, and you're the most suitable person." Xi Yan made a compelling argument, and in doing so, she turned Bai Xuexiao into her ally.
Bai Xuexiao looked at the soft, white tofu, his voice indifferent: "It seems I've boarded a pirate ship."
"Mr. Bai, just give in," Xi Yan said as she served him a bowl of soup, "Once you finish this meal, you're mine."
