Beads of perspiration were rolling down Yang Baixiongâs forehead. He suddenly recalled hearing Pei Yucheng say that he was looking for someone.
So... The person he had been looking for... Was that person Lin Yan?
Why would Pei Nanxu help Lin Yan? Why would Pei Nanxu deliberately give up his seat to Lin Yan despite knowing that Pei Yucheng abstained from women?
It also made no sense that a mere actress like Lin Yan would dare to defy him...
Now, everything made sense...
No one else in the room had noticed how horrified and shocked Yang Baixiong was right now.
Zhong Xiaowei and Zhong Xuening were still adding fuel to the fire.
âLin Yan, President Yang wants an apology from you. Arenât you being too cocky?â
âExactly! President Yang is willing to give you a second chance by kneeling down. That is very magnanimous of him!â
...
Everyone was waiting to revel in the joy of watching Lin Yan apologize on her knees. The bottle in Yang Baixiongâs hand fell with a clang and he turned ashen-faced. His knees gave way abruptly and he knelt before Lin Yan.
âLin... Lin... Miss Lin! I was wrong! Itâs my fault! Iâm sorry!â
Lin Yan was speechless...
Zhong Xiaowei and Zhong Xuening were speechless...
Lin Yuetong was speechless...
Everyone in the room was speechless...
An eerie silence hung over the entire room as they stared at Yang Baixiong.
The smugness on Zhong Xiaowei and Zhong Xueningâs faces disappeared as they froze.
What was going on?
Had Yang Baixiong gone mad?
Yang Baixiong couldnât care less about anyone else. He trembled badly as he bowed with his head almost touching the floor. He apologized profusely as he trembled. âMiss Lin, please forgive me! Youâre a magnanimous person, so please forgive my ignorance! I truly know that I was in the wrong! Iâm the shameless and despicable one! I was the toad lusting after the swan! How can I be worthy of you?â
Everyone was confused by the manâs blabbering.
Shouldnât Lin Yan be the one apologizing? Why would Yang Baixiong kneel instead?
Pei Nanxu sighed helplessly at the scene and stole a surreptitious glance at Big Brother and Big Sister-In-Law.
As expected, Big Brother was holding Lin Yanâs hand...
Yang Baixiong must have discovered their relationship.
âPresident Pei... I...â Yang Baixiong stammered.
Fortunately, Yang Baixiong wasnât a complete idiot. He had guessed that Pei Yucheng must have his reasons for not announcing his relationship. Thus, he clamped his mouth shut and turned to Lin Yan instead. He apologized once more to Lin Yan and even tried to nail his knees to the floor.
âMiss Lin, itâs my fault! Iâm not fit to even shine your shoes for you. No matter what you want me to do, I will do it to appease your anger!â
Lin Yuetong was completely dumbstruck, so it took him some time to snap back to his senses. He scrambled forward toward Yang Baixiong. âPresident Yang, what are you doing? How can that wretched lass deserve your apology?â
âShut up!â
Yang Baixiongâs rage blazed inside of him the moment he saw Lin Yuetong. How he wished he could chop him to pieces!
Lin Yuetong was an idiot! Was he trying to get him killed?
