"Lele!"
Not far away, Wu Hua waved to him. Bai Le walked over, and as soon as he sat down, Wu Hua's hand reached out to touch his stomach without any politeness, but Bai Le slapped it away.
"Damn, it really is real." Wu Hua used the word "real" twice to express his shock.
Bai Le frowned as he looked at the table covered in wine. Wu Hua, seeing his expression, knew what he was up to, so he called a waiter.
"Bring Lele that glass of milk, warm it up."
The surrounding companions all stifled a laugh, Bai Le blushed, glaring at them fiercely.
One of his cronies joked, "Lele really brought the whole family along."
"Are you really going to marry Fourth Master? I still can't believe it."
"Yes, if you ever have any difficulties, Lele, remember to tell us. We'll definitely do our best to help."
Bai Le felt a warmth in his heart, but still couldn't help asking curiously, "Why do you think I'm in trouble?"
"This..." The group exchanged bewildered glances, stammering, "Of course it's because you and Fourth Master don't seem like you're getting married because of love or anything like that."
"And do you even know what people are saying about you?" Xiaozhouzi wanted to complain, but Wu Hua glared at him and shut up.
Wu Hua said, "Lele, don't worry. I overheard a few people talking about you, and I've already given them a good beating."
Bai Le was about to speak, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a certain spot, and he was immediately startled, his face changing color.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hua asked, puzzled.
Bai Le hurriedly turned to face inside, his face full of worry, and said, "Someone's here to arrest me."
That being said, he knew that Xi Yan's presence here might not be for that reason, since he hadn't told him.
The surrounding people fell silent at some point, and even Wu Hua stared wide-eyed at what was behind him.
Bai Le felt a chill run down his spine and goosebumps all over his body. He kept groaning in his heart, praying that it wasn't what he thought.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Xi Yan casually tapped the table with her fingers, looked at the back of his head, and said indifferently, "Turn around."

Chapter 26
Bai Le stiffly turned his head and looked at Xi Yan sitting in a wheelchair, followed by Secretary Xing, who had been watching him for who knows how long.
He felt inexplicably guilty and stammered, "What a... what a coincidence."
Xi Yan nodded calmly and said in a deep voice, "It is quite a coincidence."
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the various bottles of liquor on the table. His face seemed to be shrouded in coldness, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, making people tremble with fear.
Are you drinking?
Bai Le quickly raised his hand to prove his innocence and pushed the others forward. "I didn't drink it, they all drank it."
Wu Hua coughed and stepped forward, showing his loyalty, "It definitely wasn't Lele who drank it; he drank milk."
Bai Le nodded heavily, then turned to look at Xi Yan.
Xi Yan remained silent for two or three seconds with an unreadable expression, glanced at Wu Hua, and said in a cool tone, "You call him Lele?"
Wu Hua was taken aback. "Yes."
Bai Le was also taken aback. Was this the key point?
Xi Yan remained silent. Just then, the waiter brought over the milk and placed it on the table. "Whose milk is this?"
Bai Le immediately replied, "Mine, mine."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xi Yan again, his face showing an expression that said, "See? I didn't lie to you." Then, he deliberately raised his cup in front of Xi Yan, tilted his head back, and drank the hot milk in one gulp.
"Belch..."
The milk's pungent sweetness made Bai Le feel a little nauseous. He let out a small burp, then showed the empty milk glass to Xi Yan, as if waiting for praise.
Xi Yan looked away from the cup and nodded.
"Fourth Master, it's time to go."
Secretary Xing glanced at his watch, then leaned close to his ear and whispered with some difficulty, "It's time for our appointment with the client."
Xi Yan nodded slowly, glanced at Bai Le again, and then turned to leave.
After Xi Yan left, the guys sitting around Bai Le looked at him with complicated expressions, making Bai Le feel uneasy. Finally, Xiao Xiaozhouzi said quietly, "My fourth uncle treats you pretty well."
It's not just good; it's a world of difference from how they treat themselves.
Wu Hua hooked his arm around Bai Le's neck and said with a sigh, "You were quite adept at admitting defeat just now. Can't you show some backbone? You're the apple of the Xi Family's eye now."
Bai Le sighed sadly, "He has psychological trauma."
"Be bold, he wouldn't dare do anything to you now." Wu Hua patted his shoulder again, his voice encouraging.
Suddenly, a cold, deep voice slowly rang out. "Is that so?"
Wu Hua's face stiffened. He stared in disbelief at Xi Yan, who had turned back behind Bai Le, and exclaimed, "Fourth... Fourth Master?"
