Chapter 133

Upon seeing him, the executives immediately fell silent, but their eyes were filled with undisguised inquiry, and even a hint of disdain.

Xu Tian ignored the executives in front of him and walked straight toward the elevator.

He had long known that things wouldn't go so smoothly.

How could a project negotiation that was very important to the Yan Group and even the Tang family be canceled just because of his words?

Unless there was something more important that could make Tang Bingyan stay.

But for Tang Bingyan, besides work, the most important people were probably him and Tang Laoyezi.

Tang Laoyezi's health had improved a lot recently due to traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, so it was impossible for him to have a sudden illness.

As for him...

What could happen if a grown man got sick? Just take some medicine and lie down for two days.

Regardless of whether Tang Bingyan would cancel going to the Lighthouse Country because he was sick, even if he really had to fake an illness, he wouldn't have the face to say it.

Xu Tian, who couldn't think of a solution, could only search carefully in his previous life's memories, hoping to find inspiration to turn danger into safety.

By the evening, he really thought of some potentially useful details.

Xu Tian decided to pack his luggage first.

If Tang Bingyan insisted on going to the Lighthouse Country, he would definitely have to follow. If all else failed, he could at least block a bullet for her at a critical moment.

At the same time, he also ordered some odds and ends online.

The delivery cycle was three to five days, so they should arrive before Tang Bingyan set off.

"Whether I can protect Bingyan well depends on you all." After checking the shopping order repeatedly, Xu Tian submitted the payment.

Then, Xu Tian went to the company to pick up Tang Bingyan from work as usual.

On the way, he received a call from Yan Jinsong.

"Hello? Godfather?"

"Little, Xiao Xu..."

Xu Tian changed his address smoothly, which made Yan Jinsong stutter a bit.

"I heard about your situation from Xiuya. I have no objections. From now on, just treat us as family. If you have any difficulties, just speak up."

"Although your godmother and I don't have much ability now, we can still have two more people to help you plan."

"Godfather, you are too polite." Hearing Yan Jinsong's humble remarks, Xu Tian felt a sourness in his heart.

If he hadn't been framed, Yan Jinsong would still be the heir to the Yan family and wouldn't need to live under others' roofs.

"By the way, when do you and godmother plan to move over? I've already cleaned up the house. I'll go help you move when the time comes."

"No rush." Yan Jinsong said casually: "Let's talk when you have time, Xiao Xu. You young people are busy with work, don't ask for leave from the company if there's nothing important."

"My working hours are quite flexible, it's fine."

Xu Tian touched his nose, thinking that the day after tomorrow was the birthday banquet of Yan Laoyezi, so he deliberately said: "Godfather, how about the day after tomorrow? I happen not to need to clock in at the company the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow, I'm afraid that won't work..."

Yan Jinsong said in a difficult tone: "We have something to do the day after tomorrow."

"But I only have time the day after tomorrow this week. Godfather, what do you and godmother have to deal with? Is it very important? Can it be postponed?"

Yan Jinsong pondered for a moment, feeling that since he had already recognized Xu Tian as his godson, there was no need to hide it, so he said to him: "It really won't work the day after tomorrow. It's my father's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow, and your godmother and I both have to go to wish him a happy birthday."

"So it's grandfather's birthday."

Xu Tian smiled and said: "Then I must also prepare a generous gift."

"No need..." Yan Jinsong said quickly: "You are not well-off, don't spend money."

"How can that be? Your father is my grandfather."

Xu Tian said seriously: "We are all family now. Sooner or later, I will meet your family and relatives. Why don't you take this opportunity to introduce me to them, godfather?"

"This..." Yan Jinsong hesitated.

It wasn't that he didn't want to introduce Xu Tian to others in the Yan family, but he was worried that Xu Tian would be ridiculed and targeted by those people.

They already didn't care about the treatment they received when they returned to the Yan family every year.

But he couldn't let the child suffer such grievances on his first visit.

"Does godfather have any concerns?" Xu Tian deliberately lowered his voice: "That's true, it's your family banquet, it's really not appropriate for me to go..."

"What's inappropriate? You are my godson now, you are family!"

Yan Jinsong frowned and said: "You come with us that day. I will introduce you to my father and my younger brother and the others."

"Then it's settled."

Xu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I'm going to prepare a big gift for grandfather. Godfather, send me the address when the time comes."

Perhaps because Tang Bingyan sensed that Xu Tian's mood was not right, she rarely didn't work overtime during dinner time today.

Thus, under the eye-rolling of a group of senior executives, Xu Tian carried the thermal lunch box to the top-floor office smoothly and had dinner with Tang Bingyan.

"Wife, let's discuss something."

Xu Tian said tentatively while serving soup for Tang Bingyan.

"Still about the business trip?" Tang Bingyan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him.

"Actually, it's not..."

Xu Tian answered with some trepidation under her slightly questioning gaze: "The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet of my godfather Yan Jinsong's father. I'm going with them."

After Xu Tian spoke, he sensed that the atmosphere in the office instantly cooled down.

"Wife, since you have agreed to me recognizing godfather and godmother, I will sooner or later have to come into contact with people from the Yan family. But I promise that no matter who I meet in the future, you will always be my first priority. No one is more important than you."

"If you don't let me investigate my own background, I won't investigate. Anyway, my biological parents abandoned me, which means they didn't love me that much."

"I have recognized the true face of the Xu family, and for me, I have no family now."

"Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya are really good to me. I just want to treat them as elders, nothing more."

Tang Bingyan still didn't speak, seemingly considering something.

Her exquisite face, when expressionless, was full of oppression. The former Xu Tian hated this kind of Tang Bingyan the most; this posture like a fairy from the nine heavens seemed to set him off as a small person as low as dust.

But now, he was distracted by the stunning beauty in front of him that was not just a flash in the pan.

Tang Bingyan's beauty was different from those noble ladies and delicate women; it was aggressive.

Even without moving or smiling, she could capture cities in an instant.

"Since you want to go, then go."

In the end, Tang Bingyan compromised.

Just like she had compromised with Xu Tian countless times before.

She always couldn't refuse him.

Compared to those conditions that were almost cruel to her before, letting Xu Tian attend the birthday banquet of Yan Laoyezi was really nothing.

"But Xu Tian, have you really not investigated your own background again?"

"No."

Xu Tian raised three fingers: "Wife, I can swear to heaven, if I violate your will and secretly investigate my own background, then let me not die well..."

Before the word "die" could be spoken, Xu Tian's mouth was covered by Tang Bingyan.

"Don't talk nonsense."

This time Tang Bingyan was truly angry. Sparks erupted in her thin, cold black eyes. Her cold hands and the cold aura emanating from her whole body made Xu Tian shiver involuntarily.

However, he had long mastered the trick of coaxing people. He stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked Tang Bingyan's palm lightly, and a wicked smile hooked at the corner of his mouth: "Wife, I'm not full yet."
