Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 143 - 137: Hatred Beneath the Ice

In the end, although Leng Yichen didn’t keep Wang Hai by Bai Yiran’s side, he assigned another driver to her, a woman named Li Sha.

Li Sha had a square face, and was considered rugged among women, with high eyebrows and bright eyes, clearly showing she was well-trained.

After inquiring, it became clear that Li Sha was also a retired soldier like Wang Hai, and it was Wang Hai who introduced her to Leng Yichen.

Since she was recommended by Brother Hai, Bai Yiran would naturally treat her well, but this also meant that from now on, she couldn’t drive herself anymore.

Maybe that’s for the best. After all, she had gotten into two incidents while driving, one involving Liu Zhen and the other Luo Chen, and neither had been pleasant experiences.

Today, Bai Yiran had a lot to do. As soon as she arrived at the company, she began discussing the contract with Huamei with Anna. It had taken great effort to secure this project, and although she wasn’t worried that Leng Yichen would back out, it was still best to sign the contract as soon as possible.

The contract had been prepared by Anna a long time ago. In her words, she was certain that the Bai Family would eventually secure this project, so it wouldn’t help to rush it at the last minute.

The signing with Huamei went smoothly. To avoid suspicion, both Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran did not attend in person; the signing was handled by Anna and Huamei’s operations director, Wang Wei.

In Leng Yichen’s office, Bai Yiran flipped through the books on the bookshelf out of boredom, "Are these just for show, or have you actually read them all?"

Leng Yichen was busy with work and responded indifferently, "Consider them read showpieces."

Bai Yiran was astonished, "You’ve read all these books!"

Leng Yichen’s train of thought was finally interrupted by his little wife. He looked up at her with resignation, "These are only one-tenth of all the books I’ve read."

"One-tenth..." Bai Yiran looked admiringly, realizing that being a top student isn’t achieved overnight, just as an empire’s president isn’t made in a day. Even a successful man like Leng Yichen continues to read and enrich himself.

Bai Yiran thought about herself. It seemed that since graduating from university, she hadn’t read a serious book, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit ashamed.

"Can I read these books?"

"Go ahead."

Bai Yiran then picked out a book and started reading, while Leng Yichen returned to his work.

Soon, Bai Yiran sighed with frustration. She realized she couldn’t understand... a series of economic terms and game theory concepts were still too unfamiliar to her.

With Bai Yiran being there, Leng Yichen found it impossible to focus on his tasks, so he simply moved away from his desk and sat beside Bai Yiran, wrapping his long arms around her, "Why are you sighing?"

"I always thought I was smart. I graduated from a prestigious university, fluent in two foreign languages, and could play the piano. I always considered myself exceptional. But why do I now feel like I’m getting dumber? I understand nothing, I’m nothing..."

"Who says you’re nothing?" Leng Yichen’s face approached Bai Yiran, and his alluring, deep voice made Bai Yiran dizzy, "You’re my wife, Bai Yiran, and you’ll be the mother of my children in the future."

Leng Yichen loved to tease Bai Yiran like this, because every time he did, she would blushingly get flustered, looking particularly charming and adorable.

"Speaking of children," Leng Yichen stared at Bai Yiran, "Are you still planning to take the pills?"

Bai Yiran shook her head, "No, I haven’t taken them since you found out..."

Bai Yiran’s voice was like that of a wronged child, who promised never to make the same mistake after being scolded by an adult.

Leng Yichen found Bai Yiran’s adorable demeanor both amusing and exasperating, and he leaned down to kiss her passionately.

At that moment, the secretary’s internal line inconveniently rang, and Leng Yichen was prepared to ignore it.

Interrupting his intimate moment with his little wife, this person was unforgivable!

However, the phone kept ringing incessantly, leaving them both unable to maintain the mood.

Bai Yiran lightly pushed him, "Go answer it, it must be something important."

Grudgingly, Leng Yichen walked over, pressed the speaker button, and the secretary’s voice broadcasted, "Mr. Leng, Mr. Yin from the Yin Family is here to see you."

The atmosphere in the office instantly dropped, and Leng Yichen’s expression turned as cold as frozen water.

Mr. Yin? That must be Yin Tianshen’s father.

"Since you have a guest, I’ll leave first." Understanding as ever, Bai Yiran tidied herself up and stood at the door.

"Mm." Leng Yichen nodded.

Bai Yiran opened Leng Yichen’s office door from the inside, where Yin Hao was already standing at the entrance. Upon seeing Bai Yiran, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips curled into a discomforting smile.

"This should be Mrs. Leng, yes?"

Yin Hao gave Bai Yiran a very bad feeling. His facade was obviously insincere, yet he made no attempt to hide it. Was this man overly confident or just terrifying?

"Hello, my name is Bai Yi..."

"Get out!" Bai Yiran’s sentence was coldly interrupted by Leng Yichen, who mercilessly ushered her out.

Bai Yiran turned back to look at Leng Yichen, only to see emotions in his eyes that she couldn’t comprehend, like hate—a frozen hate beneath the ice!

Biting her lip, Bai Yiran didn’t say much and walked out of the office.

Yin Hao turned back to glance at Bai Yiran’s departing figure, then entered Leng Yichen’s office, closing the door and separating the inside from the outside into two different worlds.
