Chapter 267: Chapter 267: The Number One Martial Arts Family in the Country!

Bai Yanran said, "You’re quite clever. I had once commissioned a detailed investigation of the tourism resources in Qingshan Town and produced this proposal last year. I didn’t expect it to end up benefiting you."

Xu Qianli replied, "That doesn’t make sense, though. If you had planned to develop the tourism resources in Qingshan Town for so long, why didn’t you start working on it, and instead ended up handing the proposal over to me?"

Being the richest woman and an extraordinary business figure nationally, Bai Yanran’s foresight regarding Qingshan Town’s tourism resources didn’t surprise Xu Qianli.

What surprised him was that despite being aware of Qingshan Town’s excellent tourism resources, she had shelved the project and even given it to him.

Bai Yanran responded.

"Due to external factors."

"The tourism resources in Qingshan Town are indeed excellent, and if invested in, they would likely yield good returns."

"Unfortunately, the business environment in Qingshan Town and even in all of Jiang City isn’t great. Investing rashly could lead to a total loss. At that time, there were other great investment opportunities, so the Qingshan Town tourism development plan was put on hold."

"Now that you’re going to develop the tourism resources in Qingshan Town by attracting investment, our company’s plan for developing Qingshan Town has been completely shelved. Since the proposal is now useless to us, I’m giving it to you."

"I’m not deliberately trying to help you, okay; I just don’t like seeing that woman Lan Qianrong play you, a grown man, so I decided to give you a little help."

Bai Yanran explained softly, clearing herself of any intentions of deliberately helping Xu Qianli.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qianli smiled knowingly, staring at Bai Yanran intently as if he saw right through her, which annoyed Bai Yanran. She eventually got out of bed and decided to take a shower.

She had barely taken a few steps when she felt a sharp pain, nearly falling, but fortunately Bai Muqing was nearby to support her.

Xu Qianli jumped out of bed and quickly followed her, picking up Bai Yanran from behind. "Yanran, my beauty, let’s go, I’ll help you shower."

"Stop it, who asked for your help?"

"You’re so naughty. What if you start having bad ideas and bully me?"

"Let go of me, don’t touch me anymore."

"Uh, you’re bad..."

Bai Yanran’s voice grew softer, cursing Xu Qianli internally—how could she not resist this bad boy? He was truly her nemesis.

Time flew swiftly, and in a blink, an hour or two passed, with Bai Yanran dressed in a soft nightgown lying on the bed scrolling through her phone.

Xu Qianli was carefully reading the proposal, liking it more the more he read it. With this proposal in hand, he could significantly shorten his work period and even pin down a precise timing for the investment invitation.

After roughly finishing reading the proposal, Xu Qianli put it away, his gaze landing on Bai Yanran’s stunning face. He leaned in to steal a kiss, "Aren’t you planning to invest a bit in Qingshan Town?"

"If I invest in Qingshan Town, wouldn’t that directly help you? I’d rather not."

"The man I like must climb to success on his own effort, not with the support from Bai Yanran, else I would look down on him."

"Alright, now you’ve got the proposal, and you’ve got me. You should be satisfied. Get lost, and don’t bother me here anymore."

Bai Yanran continued scrolling on her phone, not even looking up as she urged Xu Qianli to leave.

One afternoon spent, she had been teased terribly by Xu Qianli; he really was irritating.

Hearing her words, Xu Qianli’s lips curled into a crafty smile, lightly slapping Bai Yanran’s bottom.

"Ah..."

With a tender cry, Bai Yanran couldn’t focus on her phone anymore and threw herself into Xu Qianli’s arms.

"You jerk, you know it hurts yet you still hit my bottom; you’re utterly terrible."

"Dare to bully me, I’ll show you just how tough I, Bai Yanran, can be, watch me deal with you harshly!"

Bai Yanran exploded, and Xu Qianli reacted super quickly, suddenly hugging the beauty tightly and kissing her on her earlobe.

With just that gentle kiss, the previously seething Bai Yanran suddenly became like a deflated ball, going limp in Xu Qianli’s arms. "Annoying, you really, you play dirty, ambushing me like that, don’t kiss my ears again!"

Bai Yanran cursed internally at Xu Qianli for being able to find her weak point so quickly, damn it, how come she was completely at his mercy.

Xu Qianli was not about to listen, not only did he not listen, he kissed her again.

Bai Yanran’s face turned red, and she simply let Xu Qianli do as he wished, since she was already in his hands, might as well let it be.

Just as the atmosphere between the two was getting good, suddenly the room door opened, and Bai Muqing barged in again, "Miss, young master, it’s not good, we just received news, someone came to the Bai Family with generous gifts to propose marriage to you, Miss!"

Hearing these words, Bai Yanran could no longer focus on being affectionate with Xu Qianli, and she quickly pushed him away, clenching her fists tightly.

"Damn it, I’ve already made it clear, I won’t marry any man, and yet someone still goes to my house to propose marriage to me, damn it!"

"Xu Qianli, I’m going back to deal with this now, I can’t stay with you."

"Remember, I am looking forward to your performance, I’m giving you three years, you better not disappoint me!"

With those words, Bai Yanran quickly put on her clothes and hurriedly left.

After Bai Yanran left, Bai Muqing, as the housekeeper, did not leave, not only did she not leave, but she even sat down on the bed, picked up Xu Qianli’s cigarette, lit one up, took a few puffs, and stuffed it into Xu Qianli’s mouth, then looked him over with a particularly meaningful gaze that made him feel quite uncomfortable.

Xu Qianli, cigarette in mouth, faced Bai Muqing and easily sensed something., "Do you have something you want to say to me?"

"Indeed, I do have something to say."

"Young master, do you understand the Miss, do you understand the Bai Family?"

Bai Muqing asked.

Xu Qianli shook his head, honestly, he really didn’t know much.

Bai Muqing said, "It seems you know nothing, let me tell you then, the Bai Family is not just any ordinary business family, the family’s main development direction does not involve politics or the military, but martial arts cultivation!"

What, martial arts cultivation?

Xu Qianli was a bit stunned, but soon he understood, after all, both Bai Yanran and Bai Muqing had extremely strong combat power, saying that they came from a martial arts family did seem plausible.

Bai Muqing continued.

"Don’t think that martial arts families are just about practicing martial arts and producing a few combat-power strong experts."

"Top-tier martial arts families have extremely strong power and influence and are entities that various powers greatly desire to be in good relations with, possessing energy that rivals any top-tier wealthy family."

"Especially our Bai Family, we are the number one martial arts family in the country in terms of power, the Miss is absolutely a Heavenly Chosen Girl, you wouldn’t believe how many top young talents wish to marry her."

"And in the end, she chose you."

"I will not question the Miss’s choice, but since she chose you, you must become a man worthy of her."

"Starting today, not only must you develop in the political arena, you must also begin practicing martial arts!"

What, practice martial arts?

Xu Qianli pointed to his own nose.

"Are you joking, I’m already in my twenties, and you want me to start practicing martial arts, is that appropriate?"
