The doctor, trembling, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Fourth Master, this is a normal reaction. Some people react strongly, some weakly. If you're worried, Fourth Master, you can ask Bai..."
He paused here, glanced at Bai Le's face, and said cautiously, "Mr. Bai, you should take care of your health."
"I won't take the medicine," Bai Le immediately and firmly refused.
Xi Yan frowned slightly as she looked at him.
The doctor quickly replied, "It doesn't necessarily have to be medication; you can pay more attention to your daily diet."
After he left, Bai Le, fearing that Xi Yan would make him drink those bitter medicines, quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, why didn't I hear any noise outside today? Where did they go?"
Xi Yan said, "Because everyone has gone back."
Are they going back so soon? But then again, those people aren't the type who rarely vacation on islands; they must be eager to go home.
He paused, then thought of himself, "How long are we going to stay on the island?"
Xi Yan said calmly, "Half a month, or maybe earlier."
Bai Le was somewhat surprised; it was shorter than he had expected. Perhaps Xi Yan had some arrangements in mind.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Bai Le lay in bed all day, barely moving when poked. He would only go out for a walk when Xi Yan forced him to.
There are many entertainment facilities on the island, Bai Le finds them all quite tiring. His belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he will never sit down if he can lie down.
When he's bored, he plays on his phone, but he has to do it secretly because Xi Yan says that phones emit radiation that's bad for the fetus. Bai Le scoffs at this, believing that moderation is key. He can't play on his phone every day, but he only does it when he's bored after waking up; he spends most of his time sleeping.
While scrolling through her phone, Bai Le suddenly received a call from Ye Xiaosi. She wondered why he would call her, knowing he was currently on his honeymoon. Could something have happened at the company?
And he actually guessed right; the good predictions came true, but the bad ones.
"What did you say?"
Hearing the shock in his voice, Ye Xiaosi repeated it again in a more subtle way.
The five-member boy group formed by Fang Rong, who debuted from the talent show hosted by Xi Defeng and featured male trainees previously promoted by the company, is now being accused of rigging the show by fellow trainees, causing a huge uproar online.
Bai Le's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. He remembered what Xi Yan had told him that night and knew it was probably because of this incident. Although he had expected it, since there was such a scene in the original novel, he was still somewhat shocked that it had actually happened.
This will inevitably affect his company. Although it won't threaten the company in any way, the boy band is thriving, and Fang Rong's company can also make money from it. This incident will definitely result in a loss of profits.
Moreover, Fang Rong truly advanced based on his own abilities. He invited Xi Defeng to dinner only to avoid being unfairly edited into the footage. His biggest selfish motive was to get more screen time, but unfortunately, Fang Rong's screen time was not much, only average.
No wonder Xi Yan been so good to me these past few days.
Remembering that he said he would make up for his losses, including arranging a way out for Fang Rong, Bai Le felt much more at ease.
But then he thought again, he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He had to take the initiative and put pressure on Xi Yan. While things were in an uproar over there, things were calm and peaceful here, as if they were isolated from the world.
Xi Yan didn't bring up the matter with him, so perhaps he didn't intend to make up for his loss.
Bai Le became increasingly anxious as he thought about it. That was all his money, so he couldn't sit still any longer. He found a pen and paper in his room and started to draft a compensation agreement.
Even though he knew it wouldn't have any legal effect, that wasn't his intention; he was just testing Xi Yan's attitude.
He grabbed the contract and ran towards the study. If the two of them were separated these past few days, Xi Yan would most likely be working in the study.
Bai Le pushed open the door with an air of authority and walked in. He saw Xi Yan looking at the computer. When Xi Yan saw him, his gaze fell on him, and he frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Le slammed the contract on the table and sneered, "It's because of Fang Rong."
Upon hearing the name Xi Yan frowned and pondered for a while before realizing what it referred to. He looked down at the contract on the table, his brows furrowing even more.
Seeing his expression, Bai Le assumed he had truly forgotten to make amends, and gave a cold snort.
Wu Hua is right. He's different now. He doesn't need to be afraid of Xi Yan. He needs to be bolder and learn to be unreasonable.
His gaze searched around for a moment, finally landing on the pen on the table. After gesturing to it, he poked his stomach with a tragic expression.
Will you sign or not?
Xi Yan stared at him expressionlessly for a while, until she saw Bai Le shrink back somewhat guiltily, wondering if she had gone too far. How could he possibly take such a childish threat seriously?
Just as he was about to back down, Xi Yan suddenly moved. He picked up the contract and quickly signed his name on it.
"Signed, sweetie, put the pen away now."
Bai Le:?!
Meanwhile, those in the other conference room, whose video conference was suddenly interrupted, looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Author's Note: Double updates as promised! I'll stay up all night to finish this! Waaaaah, I'm so sleepy, my eyes are practically closed, but I finally finished! The synopsis didn't lie, this scene really does happen in the story~ Of course, Fourth Master wouldn't be threatened by this; he's just spoiling Lele and going along with it. Lele, however, thinks this threat works, haha, he's going to learn some bad habits and become spoiled and arrogant.
