Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 654 - 647: Schemes (Part 2)

When Bai Yiran woke up, she only felt a sharp pain in her head, and her vision was blurry. She raised a hand to touch her forehead, only to find it was bleeding.

She closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, which only worsened the pain.

"Hiss~" Bai Yiran gasped in pain. When she opened her eyes again, her vision was slightly clearer.

She looked around and realized she was in an unfamiliar room. The sunlight was bright, but there were iron bars around the windows.

Bai Yiran began to feel a chill in her heart. She had been kidnapped!

She sat up and tried hard to recall what happened before the kidnapping...

In the coffee shop, she was having coffee with Brother Zhou, whose mood seemed off. She even teased him about having urgent need to pee since he kept shaking his legs.

However, Brother Zhou hadn’t been to the restroom but was just staring out the window.

"Brother Zhou, how’s your work at Huamei International? Are your colleagues treating you well?"

Bai Yiran’s voice brought Brother Zhou back from his thoughts. Hearing her question, he gave a wry smile, "It’s okay."

Bai Yiran’s gaze deepened. She knew too well what Huamei International was like, how the veterans could be harsh to the newcomers. Back then, she was a fresh graduate working as a newbie at Huamei International, experiencing attacks and slanders from Amy, as well as indifference and disdain from other colleagues.

Not to mention someone like Brother Zhou, who was directly parachuted in. Life there must not be easy, especially in the sales department, where people were ruthless. In the short term, Brother Zhou couldn’t expect to land clients or achieve anything.

When Brother Zhou found Bai Yiran initially, she had these thoughts and had tactfully mentioned that Huamei International was not easy to stay at. However, Brother Zhou was ambitious, determined to make a name for himself no matter what, so Bai Yiran agreed.

When she spoke to Leng Yichen, he said, "The position can be offered to him, but whether he passes the probation depends on his abilities."

Clearly, looking at Brother Zhou’s current state, he seemed to be facing difficulties at Huamei International.

Regarding this, Bai Yiran couldn’t say much. The path was chosen by Brother Zhou, and he had to walk it, even if kneeled. She could provide him opportunities, but whether he could seize them depended on him alone.

"Enough about me, you tell me. How have you been lately, Yiran?" Brother Zhou swiftly changed the topic.

Bai Yiran took a sip of the milk she ordered, nodding like a little cat in the afternoon, "Very good, eating, drinking, sleeping every day, and taking care of the child. Look, have I gained a bit of weight?"

Brother Zhou chuckled, "It’s good to gain some weight; you were too thin before. Look cheerful; Mr. Leng must like it when you’re chunkier."

Bai Yiran scowled at Brother Zhou, "You’re making it sound like I’m extremely fat."

But over these days, she had indeed gained nearly ten pounds.

Brother Zhou laughed awkwardly and glanced out the window, his eyes showing a bit of panic, but he masked it when facing Bai Yiran, "Where’s your child? Xiao Xi should be seven months now, right?"

"Yes." Speaking of her daughter, Bai Yiran smiled even more brightly, "Yes, she’s at her cutest now. Leng Yichen can’t move when he sees her, insisting on holding her. But guess what? Xiao Xi finds him annoying and always pees on him. In the end, Xiao Xi still likes her brother Xiao Lang the most. Even I, as her mom, can’t compare. It’s heartbreaking!"

Seeing Bai Yiran in such a blissful state, Brother Zhou’s expression became somewhat conflicted, "Yiran, you need to leave, quickly!"
