The assistant was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said, "Yes, yes, I'll go get it right away."
Upon hearing this, Bai Le's little face scrunched up. "It's this again? I'm about to throw up from drinking it all."
Xi Yan said calmly, "This is good for your health. The doctor said you need to take good care of your body, and besides, you haven't eaten yet."
Bai Le recalled that he had said something like that after giving birth. Now, out of the three of them, he seemed to be the one with the worst health. Xi Yan, needless to say, had stopped taking medication early on. Mu Mu, from birth until now, had never had any minor illnesses and had always been very healthy.
When the hot milk was brought over, under Xi Yan's supervision, Bai Le still pinched his nose and drank it.
Because he was in such a hurry, Bai Le accidentally choked and coughed a few times. Seeing Xi Yan frowned slightly and reached out to pat him on the back.
"Careful."
Bai Le wiped his mouth. "I feel nauseous just smelling this."
A hint of a smile appeared in Xi Yan's eyes, "What about Mu Mu?"
Bai Le was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant; Mu Mu smelled of milk.
"Mu Mu is different, of course; he smells like milk too."
Xi Yan smiled again and said calmly, "Where should we go for dinner later?"
Bai Le said, "Whatever." He's fine with eating anywhere.
"Then I'll take you out to eat; you've lost a lot of weight lately."
Bai Le belatedly pinched his face. Had he lost weight? He hadn't even noticed. He had indeed gained a lot of weight when he was pregnant with Mu Mu, although it wasn't visible on his face. Of course, he was thinner now than when he was pregnant, but Bai Le hadn't weighed himself and didn't know.
After Bai Le finished his work, Xi Yan drove him away.
"You didn't call a driver?" Bai Le, somewhat curious.
Xi Yan rested his hands on the steering wheel and nodded. He rarely called a driver anymore and mostly drove by himself.
The Western restaurant he booked was located in the West City, and it would take more than half an hour to get there.
Upon arriving at their destination, Bai Le and Xi Yan were led inside by a waiter.
This Western restaurant targets the high-end market, aiming to cater to the upper class. The waiters have seen many wealthy people, but they have never seen such a strange wealthy person as today.
The taller man had a cold expression, which only softened when he looked at the shorter, younger man.
Both men were dressed in suits, but the shorter man seemed to find his suit too tight, lazily loosening his tie and looking rather nonchalant.
"Sit still," the tall man said curtly, frowning.
"Hehe, why be so rigid? Sit however you're comfortable," the young man said matter-of-factly.
"That's all." The tall man didn't say anything more, seemingly because there were outsiders present, and simply handed over the menu he was holding.
"Okay, we'll arrange it for you as soon as possible." The waiter glanced at the two of them one last time before turning and leaving.
"Why is she staring at us like that? Does she think my face is attractive to young girls?" Bai Le touched his face.
He's only twenty-three years old. He's naturally fair-skinned and good-looking, and at first glance you'd really think he's a young college student. You'd never guess he's a CEO and a father of a one-year-old.
Xi Yan him a cold glance. Bai Le knew he was angry, so he chuckled and said, "Just saying. Even if I'm looking, it's you I'm looking at."
Unexpectedly, these words did not soften Xi Yan's expression; instead, they made her look even uglier.
Now, Bai Le was no longer afraid of his cold face and smiled as he offered him the champagne that had been served.
Don't be angry, it was just a joke.
Xi Yan saw him staring at him with a smile, and his expression softened slightly. He rarely drank alcohol, so he only took a small sip.
Bai Le rested her chin on her hand and looked at him, "How are you feeling right now?"
Xi Yan glanced at him and said unhurriedly, "What is it?"
As he put down his glass, some of the wine spilled out. Bai Le quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his hands, saying obsequiously, "Do you remember Fang Rong from my company? The one you were unjustly implicated in. Although you did compensate others, I feel it's still a bit insufficient."
He was trying his best to secure benefits for Fang Rong, because Fang Rong was an artist under his company, and the better Fang Rong did, the more profit his company would make.
Xi Yan: "What do you want to do?"
"Hey, isn't your company about to release a new series of phones? How about having him be the spokesperson?"
Xi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, revealing neither his joy nor anger. "You're begging me for him?"
"How can this be a request?" Bai Le said sternly and solemnly. "This is a demand." The difference of just one word made all the difference in meaning.
Xi Yan then said calmly, "I'm a little curious about what he looks like."
Just as Bai Le was about to tell him that he was a polite and obedient child, his gaze inadvertently fell on a certain spot, and he paused slightly.
Xi Yan followed his gaze and saw a young man embracing a woman with a hot figure. He only glanced at her before looking away.
The man had obviously noticed them too, and when he saw Bai Le, his expression immediately changed.
"What a coincidence, President Bai."
Fang Rong hurried over to greet Bai Le, his gaze fixed on him, as if he hadn't noticed Xi Yan next to him at all.
"This is my sister," Fang Rong quickly explained, as if afraid of being misunderstood.
Bai Le nodded with difficulty. Sister? He didn't believe it.
Xi Yan kept staring at Fang Rong, his fingers tapping the table absentmindedly. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
