The place where Bai Qing met Li Yuanlang was arranged in a private club.

The environment here is quiet and the staff are of high quality.

Sitting in the private room, Bai Qing put a thin cigarette on the cigarette holder and asked Li Yuanlang: "Have you gone to see your sister?"

Li Yuanlang answered truthfully: "I was anxious to see you. I rushed here as soon as I got off the plane. I didn't have time yet."

"Yes." Bai Qing nodded, "I know everything about you. Wang Zhanhong has made good arrangements for you. It's right for you to leave Donghe Province. Reaching the deputy department level is your upper limit, unless Wang Zhanhong transfers you.

Go, otherwise, you will have no future."

Li Yuanlang agreed, "It's nepotism. After all, my sister is between us, so he won't promote me anymore."

"As long as you understand." Bai Qing put the cigarette holder in her mouth and Li Yuanlang lit it for her.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Qing spurted a slender line of smoke from her red lips, stared at Li Yuanlang and said, "I called you here today to tell you something important."

Bai Qing's serious expression made Li Yuanlang feel a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yuen Long, I want you to marry me."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Yuanlang was still shocked when Bai Qing expressed this idea.

There was no need for him to express his position. Bai Qing continued: "If you marry me, you won't have to go to the desolate Baizhou City. You will stay in the capital ministry."

"Promotion in ministries and commissions will be smooth. I guarantee you that you can reach the deputy provincial and ministerial level at the age of forty-five. In another three or two years, there will be no problem at the provincial or ministerial level."

"When you reach the provincial and ministerial level, you will be released, first to the provincial government, and then to the provincial party committee. When you are over fifty, you will become a feudal official in charge of a province."

"Only when you reach this level can you enter the high-level Dharma Eyes and have greater room for operation."

"My father has retired. What he couldn't do while in office, there is no pressure at all after he retires. Besides, you are Lu Linsong's son-in-law, and my father's name is an absolute guarantee for your promotion."

"Yuen Long, this is not a proposal or a confession. Everything I do is for your own good. I hope you will seriously consider it."

After Bai Qing finished speaking, her eyes kept moving on Li Yuanlang's face.

Li Yuanlang was silent for a while, and then he slowly asked: "Bai Qing, do you love me?"

Bai Qing couldn't help but be stunned and asked: "What did you say?"

No wonder she asked, the blueprint she planned for Li Yuanlang was very tempting.

After more than ten years, becoming a feudal official of a province is a dream goal for many people.

And this is just the beginning. There is definitely hope for the next step to a higher stage.

I thought about it a lot, but I never expected that Li Yuanlang would ask such a question.

Li Yuanlang asked again and again.

Bai Qing smiled bitterly, "Yuen Long, I am already forty years old, not a twenty-year-old girl who is still immersed in beautiful love fairy tales."

"Whether you love or not is not the important point. I am not talking about love with you, I am talking about marriage and reality."

Li Yuanlang was disappointed. He shook his head and said, "Sister Bai, a marriage without emotion is a dead end. This is extremely irresponsible behavior for you and me."

"Your conditions are certainly tempting, but I have experienced a marriage with Shui Tingyue, which made me very painful."

"At the same time, I also believe in the importance of being well-matched."

"Unequal family backgrounds can easily make marriages fragile."

"Between us, I always treat you as a respected sister. If the relationship turns into a husband and wife, please forgive me, I am not ready for this yet."

"I hope to make progress step by step through my own efforts. I don't want to take shortcuts in overtaking corners. Even if I reach a higher position in the future, I won't be happy."

"I'm sorry, Sister Bai, I can't promise you."

Li Yuanlang speaks clearly and powerfully every word.

Bai Qing's expression froze and she looked at Li Yuanlang blankly.

It lasted about ten seconds. Without saying a word, she grabbed her bag and turned around to leave without looking back.

She was angry.

It was unthinkable that Li Yuanlang would reject her.

It's rare that she would express her sincerity to a man, only to be rejected by him in return.

It's so shameless.

Bai Qing, whose self-esteem was frustrated, returned home and closed the door, lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, breathing heavily.

& nbs span;

"Who!" Bai Qing yelled angrily.

The door opened and a female staff member timidly whispered: "The chief wants to see you. He is waiting for you in the study downstairs."

"I know." Bai Qing sat up, went to the bathroom, washed her face, looked in the mirror, and then went downstairs to Lu Linsong's study.

Seeing his daughter come in, Lu Linsong slowly put down the documents, took off his reading glasses, and asked calmly: "I heard that you came back angry, who provoked you."

Bai Qing sat on the sofa opposite Lu Linsong and said angrily: "Who else can it be? Li Yuanlang."

"Oh, he rejected you?"

Bai Qing did not answer directly, but said: "Dad, Li Yuanlang is really ignorant. I have planned his promotion path for him, but he doesn't appreciate it and asks me whether I love him or not. It's really childish."

"Haha." Lu Linsong smiled slightly, "Xiao Qing, with your condescending and domineering attitude, are you talking about marriage? You are clearly talking about conditions and making a deal. If it were me, I wouldn't agree either."

"You are insulting people and insulting a man's dignity. Li Yuanlang behaved well. He did not get angry with you, he just rejected you."

"Xiao Qing, the first thing you need to do when you fall in love is to learn to fully respect the other person and not be arbitrary. Why do you plan an official career for Li Yuanlang? You are not the organization minister. What rights do you have to do this? What rights do you have?

Guarantee!"

Lu Linsong's tone became stern, "After we talked that day, I thought you would become rational. I didn't expect you to be so impulsive and turn a good pot of rice into rice with uncooked rice."

"Li Yuanlang is right to reject you. This shows that he is a good man who is motivated and has a sense of responsibility, not a despicable person who follows others' influence."

"Xiaoqing, you need to reflect carefully. If you like someone, it is based on respect. You must put yourself in someone else's shoes and consider other people's feelings."

"I still have something to do here. You can go back and think about it slowly. Once you have figured it out, we can talk again."

Bai Qing left her father's study in a depressed mood, stood by the window, and fell into deep thought.

At this moment, Li Yuanlang was sitting in the car heading to Xishan.

It's August now, the scorching hot summer, and the temperature has been above 30 degrees for a long time.

Fortunately, Xishan is lined with green trees, cool and pleasant, and the air is fresh, which is suitable for Ye Qingrou to raise her fetus.

Along the way, after passing many checkpoints, the Hongqi car finally stopped in front of the porch of a long two-story building.

Wang Song waited at the door with a smile and opened the car door for Li Yuanlang himself.

Holding Wang Song's hand, Li Yuanlang exchanged a few words with him.

Wang Song is currently in the scientific research department, which is exactly what he likes to do.

Follow Wang Song and walk in. Ye Qingrou lives in the west room on the first floor.

This was for her consideration, as she was worried that it would be unsafe to go up and down the stairs.

Ye Qingrou has been pregnant for more than two months, and her belly is slightly bulging.

Wearing a baggy maternity dress, she was sitting on a lounge chair in the room eating fruit.

As soon as Li Yuanlang came in, Ye Qingrou was about to stand up from the recliner, but Li Yuanlang waved his hand to stop her from moving.

"Sister, you are protecting animals now, so be careful."

"Brother, I'm not a piece of paper. I'm not as evil as you say." Ye Qingrou said strangely and angrily.

Li Yuanlang asked Wang Song and his sister, "Do you know the gender of the child?"

Ye Qingrou touched her lower abdomen and said mysteriously: "There is now a blood method for fetal identification, which is not allowed to be used by the public. My father-in-law's secretary asked someone to do it."

He looked at Wang Song and said, "Go and get the test sheet and show it to your elder brother."

Wang Song quickly went to the drawer to get the test sheet and asked Li Yuanlang to take a look.

Li Yuanlang took a rough look, and finally concluded that the line showed a boy.

He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He patted Wang Song on the shoulder one after another and said with a smile: "Wang Song, okay."

Wang Song rubbed his head and felt embarrassed.

"Brother, we just brought the test report. You are the first one besides Wang Song and me to see it."

Li Yuanlang joked: "It seems that I am quite lucky to be an uncle. Sister, have you told Uncle Wang?"

Wang Song took over the conversation, "I called my dad and he said he would come right away."
