Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

Chapter 736 Keeping an Appointment

If Bai Ning had not been present today, Xiao Bosheng would have definitely bargained with Gong Yu. Yongning Technology has always had the upper hand in cooperation, but she was there, and the words that were about to come out of his throat were swallowed back.

Perhaps even Gong Yu would not have thought that the chairman of Yongning Technology would be so easy to talk to. He didn't even blink when signing the contract, knowing that Gong Group should give up less profit.

Before Bai Ning could figure out how to reply to Xiao Bosheng, he received a call from Lan Qichen.

The man's tone was as magnetic and gentle as ever: "I heard that my wife successfully won this big project? That's great! Are you with Big Brother now?"

Bai Ning curved his lips and said, "No, my brother has an appointment. I'm in a taxi and will be home in ten minutes at most."

As soon as she received the call from Lan Qichen, her mood unconsciously improved a lot and she felt particularly relaxed.

"You went to the appointment? Tsk, didn't he send someone to take you back?"

Lan Qichen's tone was obviously a little unhappy: "The distance from the restaurant to the manor is not far, why are you in such a hurry? It's not safe for a girl like you to come back so late at night, and you didn't call me to pick you up. Do you really want me to worry?"

Last time when he and Bai Ning were traveling together, some hooligans dared to harass them. This time she was going home alone. What should she do if that happened again?

Lan Qichen didn't dare to think about it. He just felt that Gong Yu was wrong. He just took the person out and didn't care about it anymore. Is there any brother like him?

"It's okay, I'll be home soon. Have a safe trip. Don't worry."

Bai Ning comforted him, "I can't possibly keep Big Brother's friends waiting for too long, right? I'll definitely call you next time to let you pick me up. Forget it this time, don't make a fuss about it, okay?"

Lan Qichen grabbed a coat from the rack, put it on, and walked out of the manor, saying, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate."

About seven or eight minutes later, a taxi slowed down and slowly stopped at the gate of the manor, and Bai Ning got out from the back seat.

Lan Qichen took off his coat and put it on her, saying gently, "Remember to bring a coat with you next time you go out for a social event. It's cold at night, be careful not to catch a cold."

He took her hand and felt it was cold, so he couldn't help but frown. He then held her hand with both hands and blew air on the palm and back of her hand, conveying warmth again.

Bai Ning's limbs become cold as soon as winter comes. She cannot warm up even if she wraps herself in the quilt for a long time at night. Lan Qichen often holds her thin body in his arms, adds two more quilts, and turns up the temperature in the bedroom, for fear that she will feel cold.

"Know it."

Bai Ning agreed with a smile, and indeed he felt much warmer wearing Lan Qichen's coat.

The two came to the living room on the first floor, where Gong Qilin was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. The old man had always had the habit of reading morning and evening newspapers, and this had lasted for many years without changing.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Bai Ning reported her return home to the old man as usual. This was one of the thirty rules of the Gong family. All the women in the family had to report their safety to the elders no matter how late they returned home.

Gong Qilin put down the newspaper in his hand, beckoned Bai Ning to sit in front of him, and praised with a kind smile: "Ningning, I heard that you won the project between our company and Yongning Technology? You did a great job. Grandpa really didn't make a mistake in choosing you."

As soon as the social event ended, the news reached the old man's ears. The wind speed was really fast! But I don't know how it got there, and all the credit was put on me, even though the plan was clearly made by my eldest brother...

Bai Ning's face stiffened slightly. He knew that he didn't put in much effort this time, so he did not accept the praise.

"Grandpa, I have to correct you. It was my eldest brother who won this project. He wrote the proposal himself. It has nothing to do with me. You should praise my eldest brother."

"Really?"

Gong Qilin was a little puzzled and asked, "But I heard from the person in charge of Yongning Technology that you were the one who negotiated this deal. Could it be that someone spread false information to me?"
