C192 The Sincerity of the Promise

"And as far as I know, you have just inherited the Xiao's's unstable foundation. If the royal family asks for a refund, you will face an economic disaster. Even if you can get through it, are you sure that the shareholders of the Xiao's and the elders who have been criticizing you will not add insult to injury? And most importantly, you have a fundamental competitor. If I choose to support him, I'm afraid that no matter how capable you, Xiao Yichen, are, you may not be able to survive this crisis." After saying that, Ai Lun leaned back on the sofa. He looked as if victory was within his grasp and he was waiting for Xiao Yichen to compromise.

But he had overestimated his ability. After all, he was a person who had never experienced the waves of the world. Although threats always hit the topic that Xiao Yichen was most concerned about, Ai Lun had found the wrong person.

He had forgotten that before threatening someone, other than finding the other party's weakness, he also had to see how to use communication to get the other party off the stage, and at the end, he could even give himself some benefits.

Just like now, the thing Xiao Yichen hated the most in his life was being threatened and being enticed.

Especially when he saw Ai Lun's face full of mockery, it made Xiao Yichen's heart burn with anger. He put out the cigarette butt with two fingers of his cigar, got up, and walked to Ai Lun's side in two or three steps.

Ai Lun was stunned at first, then he saw the pair of cold eyes staring at him coldly. Then Xiao Yichen's thin lips slightly parted, carrying a bone-piercing chill. "Then you come and try! I would like to see if I, Xiao Yichen, am a paper tiger or not. A useless person who only knows how to rely on his family's halo. Without the Xiao's, without the royal family, he would have nothing!"

After saying that, Xiao Yichen turned his head and coldly walked out of the ward. He didn't even have the courtesy to shut the door.

With a bang, the door was closed. Ai Lun, who was inside, suddenly woke up. Just now, he had been shocked silly by Xiao Yichen's deterrent force!

When he finally realized that Xiao Yichen was nowhere to be seen anymore... Ai Lun slammed the table in anger and smashed the urn in front of the table. Then he angrily growled, "Xiao Yichen! Just wait and see! One day, I will make you lose your reputation!"

" Enough! Ai Lun! Do you really think I can't hear you? You are using me as bait to force Chen Chen. He already gave you face by not directly turning against you and not cooperating with you! You still want to continue? You are not gentlemanly at all! You've disappointed me too much!"

A soft voice fell by his ear, carrying a hint of rebuke and anger. Then, from the main bedroom of the ward, a woman in a hospital gown with a pale face walked out.

Her slim figure was a little too thin because she had been in a coma for a long time, but it still could not hide her beauty and temperament.

That kind of arrogance that belonged to the royal princess, even though she was sick, was still shining with a dazzling halo.

That's right, this person was Catherine!

Xiao Yichen thought of the woman who made him lose himself because of guilt - Catherine.

At this moment, she looked very tired. Perhaps it was because she had been in a coma for a long time and had not used her ability to speak. It was also very difficult for her to speak. Just like those words just now, it had already made her flushed red. She used all her strength to bite the words.

"Catherine! I will make him suffer! You, quickly return to the country with him and let him know that you are awake. Make him bow his head to our royal family in the end!" Ai Lun gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. His eyes were filled with deep hatred. He wished he could smash Xiao Yichen into pieces right away.

"No, Ai Lun, you don't understand Yichen. We were once people who could naturally be together, but now... I need time to adjust myself. I'm too weak, so I'll let that China woman enjoy the last moments of her life. Consider it my gift to her, as well as my final benevolence." Catherine's white and immature face revealed a cold arrogance. She covered her chest with both hands and looked out the window at the dark night where the warm lights of the street lamps shone. The coldness in her eyes also deepened a bit. - - -

Recently, it was unknown whether people were lazy or not, but Pei Luoluo could actually sleep until 11 o'clock in the morning while she was resting at home. This could be described as unbelievable to her, who usually only slept until 7 o'clock at most.

After tidying up everything, Pei Luoluo rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked towards the living room. In the blink of an eye, she saw a familiar figure sitting on the sofa in the middle reading the newspaper.

She was just about to call him when she heard the other party being one step ahead of her. A magnetic and steady voice sounded, "Pei Luoluo, are you walking on the road to becoming a pig?"

"My dear! You are back!" Pei Luoluo ran towards where Xiao Yichen was almost at the same time he opened his mouth.

Xiao Yichen subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was worried about her stomach. He just had to brace himself and receive the full hug. No, it was a bear hug.

Pei Luoluo almost jumped onto Xiao Yichen's body. Her feet wrapped around his waist and then her hands wrapped around his neck. Her head rubbed back and forth on his neck. She even muttered, "I miss you, I miss you so much."

At that time, Xiao Yichen did not know how to describe his feelings. The stiff expression on his face and the petrified movements indicated that his brain was in a state of emergency.

This was very difficult to see. It could be said that it had never happened before.

"You, let me go." Xiao Yichen's low and deep voice just happened to land beside Pei Luoluo's ear.

She was stunned at first, then she slipped down and sat beside Xiao Yichen, looking at him with an expression that said she did not see enough.

"Mrs Zhang, what kind of stimulation has Young Grandmother suffered recently? Her IQ has also lowered?" Xiao Yichen ignored Pei Luoluo's infatuation and looked at Mrs Zhang, who was cleaning not far away, with a serious face.

Hearing Xiao Yichen say so, Mrs Zhang laughed with a face full of joy. "Young Master, you have been a fool for three years when you are pregnant. You should bear with it more."

"I am not stupid! I am not stupid. I do not need integrity in front of my husband." Pei Luoluo said it in all seriousness. However, there were two people beside her, one. One of them was silent, but his face was obviously hiding his smile. The other was grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm looking for trouble as soon as I come back! Tell me, did you bring my present?" Pei Luoluo licked her lips and looked at Xiao Yichen seriously.

Her expression was smooth and smooth, but Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned. He remembered that Pei Luoluo did not ask for the gift back then.

"Why are you looking at me? Didn't I tell you not to bring a stepmother for my son?" Seeing that Xiao Yichen did not speak, Pei Luoluo immediately became happy and took the apple on the table to eat.

"That's right! In order to show my sincerity in fulfilling my promise, I did not bring anything." Xiao Yichen's mouth twitched. He just ignored her and continued to read the newspaper.

The two of them just sat there quietly. No one said anything, but they smiled at each other through the newspaper.
