Chapter 1326: Chapter 1326: Something Is Not Simple
Someone once said: The eyes are the windows to the soul, they can’t lie.
Bai Shishi had seen stars in Lin Tian’s eyes and had also seen tears. And at this moment, his eyes were full of worries. Worries about her and the baby.
Bai Shishi smiled and replied, "Look at how nervous you are. What could possibly be wrong? It’s just that the food you made was so delicious, I ate too much before."
"You scared me."
"Only a fool like you would get scared. I just said I couldn’t eat anymore, who knew you’d think so much?"
Bai Shishi teased him with a smile, her face glowing with happiness. Although Lin Tian seemed foolish, she enjoyed this feeling very much.
Lin Tian followed with a silly smile, bringing the bowl of chicken soup to his mouth, inhaling the delightful aroma before digging in.
Bai Shishi sat on a wicker chair beside him, supporting her chin with one hand and touching her belly with the other, watching Lin Tian as if she could never get enough.
A bowl of chicken soup along with two chicken legs was soon finished. As he put down the bowl, Bai Shishi considerately handed over a tissue, gently wiping his mouth.
Lin Tian gazed at her tender expression, happiness filled his heart. He asked, "How are things at the company now?"
Smart and insightful Bai Shishi understood what Lin Tian meant. She leaned back comfortably in the wicker chair and said, "Since my husband has spoken, what else can I do? I’ve delegated all possible work, postponed many schedules; only a couple of important meetings and events can’t be postponed."
Lin Tian asked in surprise, "Organized so quickly?"
Bai Shishi smiled and said, "Of course, everything for the next three months, even up to a year, is arranged. Don’t be deceived by the fact that the company just went through a reform; its structure remains very stable. Since the whole factory explosion incident and subsequent PR, the company’s reputation has been steadily climbing, and with good benefits, cohesion naturally grows strong."
"Besides, I’m just the chairman of the company, a decision-maker who steers the big picture. There are plenty of professionals underneath to implement things; otherwise, how can I handle it all by myself? I actually feel it’s much easier than before."
Hearing Bai Shishi say this, Lin Tian felt much more at ease too. He got up and squeezed beside Bai Shishi, putting one arm around her fragrant shoulders, caressing her belly with the other, and asked with a smile, "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
Bai Shishi rested her head on Lin Tian’s shoulder, nodding gently, then shaking her head, "I’ve thought of many, but none satisfy me. You name them."
"Let’s leave this to your dad; he’d definitely be thrilled," Lin Tian chuckled.
"Alright," Bai Shishi nodded with a smile, planting a kiss on Lin Tian’s cheek, and said, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
Bai Shishi gazed into Lin Tian’s eyes, lightly hammering his chest with her small fist, and said, "You know full well."
Lin Tian indeed knew what she meant. There was unspoken understanding between him and Bai Shishi; a single glance was often enough to understand each other.
The words "thank you" carried a lot of weight. So much had happened to the Bai Family in the past year: first, the Xianglong Tea House was targeted, with Du Dahai openly, and Bai Jiaming secretly. Later, the whole Bai Family was targeted by the Wang Family. They fought a thrilling battle, ultimately narrowly winning because Lin Tian turned the tables.
Then Qiansimei got into trouble again; the factory exploded, and there was a media frenzy. After barely resolving that, something happened to the old Bai Family residence in Wangfu Village. Except for Bai Tianlong, everyone in the family died. Even Bai Tianlong developed severe depression after the incident; though his condition has greatly improved now, it’s mostly due to Lin Tian’s efforts.
If it weren’t for Lin Tian, Bai Shishi couldn’t even imagine what the consequences would have been. Perhaps the Bai Family would have perished, and her fate might have been like it was depicted in "Crossing the Lingding Sea": shattered mountains and rivers like floating dandelion seeds, life and history floating like rushing water.
Compared to current life, it would be like heaven versus earth.
Bai Shishi felt Lin Tian was truly her destined one, a guiding star in her life.
Reminiscing, Bai Shishi’s emotions welled up. Looking at Lin Tian’s resolute face, her heart couldn’t help but race.
Suddenly, Bai Shishi turned on the wicker chair, pressing Lin Tian beneath her, her crimson lips descending like flames to kiss him.
The meeting of lightning and fire should have led to a passionate storm, but halfway through, Lin Tian stopped it.
"Not now."
"Why? Are you still on your period?" Bai Shishi asked, panting.
Slap!
Lin Tian gently patted her on the butt, "Not in the first three months of pregnancy, it’s too easy to miscarry."
"I don’t care; my fire’s already been sparked, what now?"
Bai Shishi pinched Lin Tian’s cheek, wiggling it as she said, "And you call yourself a doctor? As long as we do it the right way, it should be fine."
"How do you know?"
Bai Shishi’s face flushed, "I specifically looked it up online. Come, I’ll teach you."
...
At nine o’clock the next morning, Lin Tian was woken up by a ringing sound.
Lin Tian couldn’t remember the last time he had slept until he woke up naturally.
"Hello, who is it?" Lin Tian asked with his eyes still closed, without even checking the caller ID.
"Tian, we caught the person," Wu Yong’s voice came from the receiver.
"Who?"
"The one from DS and the guy who injured Zhang Ya’Er from the East Continent," Wu Yong said.
It was only then that Lin Tian opened his eyes; he wasn’t too concerned about this matter.
"Handle it as you see fit, make sure not to go easy on them," Lin Tian said.
This statement was clear enough; since someone was injured right at the entrance of Black Gold, this matter wouldn’t be resolved easily.
Even though they were from the East Continent, it wouldn’t be a big problem even if they were killed. Lin Tian didn’t believe that gamblers like them would have any legal status; even if they did, it would be fake and wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny.
Just some illegal immigrants on the Celestial Dragon Continent.
Wu Yong paused for two seconds and said, "As soon as we caught them, someone showed up at the door, also from the East Continent, claimed to be from a major poker school there, and specifically asked to see Zhang Ya’Er."
"Hmm?" Lin Tian responded lightly, "And then?"
"They’re still waiting in the lobby; I feel like this isn’t simple. It seems they’re specifically coming for Zhang Ya’Er. I can’t make a decision on this matter."
Lin Tian pondered for a few seconds and said, "I’ll come over now."
"Okay."
The call ended, and Bai Shishi, who was lying next to him, woke up. Her hands were still wrapped around Lin Tian’s waist, and she pouted, asking, "Are you coming back for lunch?"
Lin Tian glanced at the time and said with a wry smile, "I probably won’t make it back for lunch, maybe in the evening. Are you going to cook for me?"
"In your dreams, remember to come back early tonight."
"Alright."
