Chapter 102: The Second Branch Has Arrived

Han Yangting got into bed, glanced at the distance between them, and couldn't help but tease, "Ruoruo, is there a Yellow River between us?"

The bed was two meters wide; she was sleeping on the very edge, so there was over a meter of space in the middle—enough for several of her to lie down.

Bai Shuruo smiled awkwardly and scooted a tiny bit toward the middle.

Han Yangting patted the spot next to him: "Come here."

She refused to move.

Han Yangting then leaned over to her side, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her for a while.

Bai Shuruo's body quickly softened, and she could only obediently submit...

Not only was she moved to the middle, she was also moved on top of him.

"Brother Han, I... don't know how."

"I'll teach you."

The lights in the Castle room turned a soft orange, the windows were half-open, the curtains fluttered gently, and the room was filled with the glow of spring.

Beishi, a large auto show company.

The first new car from "Doudou New Energy Automobile Company" caused quite a stir as soon as it was exhibited.

With its compact shape, sleek body, playful yet steady, stylish yet serious, plus an ultra-low price, many industry reporters scrambled to report on it, and some visiting tourists also gathered around the car to look here and there.

Bai Shunan and several other colleagues from the company were busy to the point of exhaustion, introducing the car's performance, explaining the company's situation, and handing out the company's color brochures, flyers, and small gifts to those who came to watch.

There were also some car dealers interested in cooperation.

Bai Shunan was currently receiving a car dealer from Zhengshi.

This dealer was very optimistic about this new car, feeling that once it was launched, it would definitely sell well.

After some conversation, this car dealer signed a contract with Bai Shunan that very day.

After seeing the dealer off, Bai Shunan was extremely happy.

She hadn't expected this trip to Beishi to go so smoothly; it seemed that the "Doudou" new car had a very good chance of being promoted nationwide.

Not far away, a person stood in the crowd watching Bai Shunan.

He was tall and handsome, and even in ordinary clothes, he stood out from the crowd like a crane in a flock of chickens.

His assistant beside him said, "President Gu, our contract was signed very smoothly."

Gu Yunting nodded, but his gaze never left Bai Shunan: "Find some other dealers; try to cooperate with as many as possible."

"Understood."

Gu Yunting then turned and left.

Bai Shuruo woke up to find herself facing Han Yangting's handsome face.

"Ruoruo, good morning," he smiled.

The indoor heating was sufficient and the quilt was thin, so even with her shoulders exposed, she didn't feel cold.

She wanted to pull the quilt over to cover her head again, but it was pulled down by Han Yangting.

Subsequently, she heard her stomach make a "rumbling" sound.

She hadn't felt comfortable eating much at dinner last night, so naturally, she was hungry quickly today.

"What does Ruoruo want for breakfast?" Han Yangting asked.

"What, what time is it?" she asked.

"It's 9 o'clock."

"9 o'clock?" Bai Shuruo was surprised; Han Yangting was a very self-disciplined person who usually got up after 6 o'clock, yet today he was still in bed at 9.

She immediately became nervous again: "We only got up at 9, will your grandfather and mother have any objections?"

"Naturally not; they have plenty of things to do and no time to worry about us." After saying this, Han Yangting hooked her nose, then kissed her forehead.

Bai Shuruo felt relieved.

In any case, he was extremely doting toward her; so far, he had never shown any sign of disliking her, nor had he ever given her the cold shoulder.

Sometimes Bai Shuruo would wonder, could it be that he loved her?

But this thought was fleeting.

She was just a young girl, with an average figure and an average face, and no special talents; she had only been fortunate enough to marry him by relying on that groundless agreement from their ancestors. It was impossible for him to love her.

Bai Shuruo went to change her clothes, while Han Yangting rested his chin on his hand behind her, watching her with a smile.

She was very thin and liked to wear loose clothing, so she usually didn't look like she had much of a figure, but in reality, only after taking off her clothes did one realize she had a large chest; the flesh had grown exactly where it should, and the feel was excellent.

She looked desireless while lying in bed, but every time, she could give him a timely response, and that response was just sweet enough to be addictive.

Today's breakfast was still extremely sumptuous, with Cantonese dim sum, Korean sushi, French bread and sauces—everything one could want.

Because Han Weimin and Ye Caiyue had gone to the company, she and Han Yangting were eating breakfast together; she couldn't help but tuck in, eating until her cheeks were bulging, as if she wanted to make up for everything she hadn't eaten enough of last night.

The result proved that Bai Shuruo's decision was correct.

After ten o'clock in the morning, many people from the Second Branch arrived.

Seeing this whole family, Bai Shuruo suddenly understood why Han Weimin was urging them to have children.

The first to arrive was Han Chunqiu, whom she had seen in the Manor yesterday; Han Chunqiu brought his wife, Ms. Qu, and the couple was followed by their daughter, son, granddaughter, and grandson.

The smallest baby was only one year old and had just learned to walk; as soon as it was put down, it started walking crookedly around the living room.

Bai Shuruo had always felt that Castle No. 1 lacked a lively atmosphere, but now that this whole family had arrived, it finally felt lively.

Of course, besides being lively, it was also irritating.

Han Chunqiu and his wife had two sons and two daughters; the eldest son, Han Ketian, was 26, the youngest son, Han Keying, was 18, and in between were their 23-year-old daughter and their 21-year-old daughter, Han Jiaren.

Han Ketian and Han Keying, the two brothers, had been compared to Han Yangting since they were young, so these two brothers had no good feelings toward their cousin Han Yangting.

After meeting, they were both indifferent to each other; after exchanging greetings, they sat on the sofa and made awkward small talk—they asked, and Han Yangting answered listlessly.

After the two sisters, Han Jiani and Han Jiaren, arrived, their gazes scrutinized Bai Shuruo.

Bai Shuruo also looked at these two younger sisters; they were clearly the type born with a silver spoon in their mouths, usually mingling in socialite circles, and just standing there, they had an air of wanting to outshine everyone else.

They and Bai Shuruo were not people from the same world.

Qu Shinü first exchanged pleasantries with Bai Shuruo: "What is your name again? I heard your sister-in-law mention it once before, but I can never remember it."

Bai Shuruo replied to her: "Bai Shuruo, 'Shu' as in book, 'Ruo' as in 'if it were'."

"Ruoruo, are you from Fengcheng?"

"Yes."

"You are truly beautiful; no wonder Yangting disregarded the family's opposition and insisted on marrying you."

Bai Shuruo was stunned; opposition? Why opposition? Wasn't it said he married her because of a family contract?

Twenty-three-year-old Han Jiani was full of curiosity about Bai Shuruo and couldn't help but ask: "Eldest cousin-in-law, which university did you graduate from?"

"Fengcheng University."

"Oh, did you not study abroad?"

Bai Shuruo shook her head.

Han Jiani then said, oblivious to the reality of others: "Why didn't you go abroad? We all attended university overseas; foreign universities are better."

Bai Shuruo didn't know why she said: "Domestic universities are also quite good; I attended one in the country since I was able to get in."

Han Jiani: "..."
