What kind of inspection work? It is just taking the kids out for a meal!

Zhang Ao twirled his wine glass and said nonchalantly,
"No matter who is backing her, we only need to quietly ruin Yang Mi. When the other side comes to settle accounts, the blame will fall entirely on Li Wenwu."

Sister Hong nodded and asked,
"What is Wu Yufei's plan? I heard from Li Wenwu that she came up with the idea."

Mentioning Wu Yufei piqued Zhang Ao's interest. He chuckled,
"Hah, that seductive bitch is truly a venomous viper. You'll know the specifics when the time comes. To be honest, if it weren't out of respect for Young Master Chen, I would have broken that slut today and kept her around to entertain distinguished guests. She could still be of some use."

Sister Hong looked concerned.
"President Zhang, that joke isn't funny at all. Don't underestimate Wu Yufei; that woman is no pushover."

Zhang Ao smiled disdainfully.
"Which of the women who have fallen into my hands has ever been simple? Alright, let's drop this. First, gather some men and have them ready. Oh, and have someone keep a close eye on Yang Mi. Watch everything related to her tightly."

Sister Hong asked with a serious and solemn expression,
"President Zhang, do you want to keep Yang Mi under surveillance?"

Zhang Ao sneered,
"Since Yang Mi has forces backing her, we need to investigate thoroughly to prevent any future trouble."

...

Meanwhile, at the Huazhou Junting Villa.

"Daddy, I've finished the homework Teacher Lin assigned. Can we go out to play now?"
Xuanbaoer asked, stretching lazily as she finished her daily lessons on the small stone stool in the courtyard.

During this period, Lin Han, Xuanbaoer's private tutor, gave her assignments every day. Xuanbaoer enjoyed them immensely and managed to complete them effortlessly almost every time.

Li Qing walked over and sat gently beside Xuanbaoer. Looking at her neat handwriting, he smiled and said,
"Let daddy check it for you."

Xuanbaoer obediently picked up her notebook and handed it to Li Qing.
"This is the ancient poem I memorized."

In the notebook, Xuanbaoer's handwriting was delicate and clean: *"Before my bed, the moonlight shines..."*

It was hard to imagine that a child a little over three years old, who had never attended kindergarten, could already memorize and write ancient poems.

After looking through it without finding a single incorrect character, Li Qing nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, Xuanbaoer is improving very fast. Daddy will take you out for a drive and we can grab a bite along the way."

Hearing that she could go out to play, Xuanbaoer beamed with joy.
"That's wonderful! Daddy is the best!"

To Xuanbaoer, the outside world remained endlessly fascinating, even though she had already been out a few times.

At that moment, Wang Mian walked over from not far away.
"Qing Ge, Zhang Lei, the General Manager of China Resources Group, wants to request a meeting with you to discuss matters regarding bilateral international trade cooperation," Wang Mian said with a smile.

"Over the past few days, our export volume of military trade has increased significantly, and China Resources is getting restless."

Li Qing paid no attention, not even lifting his eyelids.
"Tell him to come back in a couple of days. I'm taking Xuanbaoer out right now."

Wang Mian nodded.
"Understood, I'll send him back."

Ever since he got Xuanbaoer, Li Qing hadn't wanted to spare a single thought for corporate affairs.

Getting into the car, Li Qing took Xuanbaoer to several amusement parks in Modu. Although they traveled in only one car, under Wang Mian's arrangement, seven or eight vehicles followed in secret—including anti-reconnaissance, medical, and emergency response vehicles, each assigned a different task.

By the end of the day, Xuanbaoer had thoroughly enjoyed herself, experiencing amusement parks, parent-child activities, and more. Along the way, they also visited Jacqueline's children's clothing company, where Xuanbaoer filmed endorsement videos and took promotional photos. The fifteen-million-yuan endorsement fee was deposited directly into Xuanbaoer's account.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Mian started the car to prepare for the return trip.

"Qing Ge, where are we going for dinner?" Wang Mian asked leisurely from the driver's seat. "Xuanbaoer, what would you like to eat tonight? Uncle will take you there."

Li Qing smiled and said, "I bet Xuanbaoer wants to go to the Peace Hotel."

Xuanbaoer looked at Li Qing in mild surprise and asked in astonishment, "Daddy, how did you know what Xuanbaoer was thinking?"

Li Qing chuckled softly.
"Because I'm your daddy, of course I know. Xuanbaoer, do you miss Mommy?"

Li Qing knew that the biggest reason Xuanbaoer wanted to go to the Peace Hotel was because she had bumped into Yang Mi there last time. Xuanbaoer had even told Yang Mi back then that she wanted her mommy to come eat there in the future, completely free of charge.

Looking caught in the act, Xuanbaoer gave an abashed, adorable smile.
"Daddy is so amazing! Xuanbaoer didn't even say anything, and daddy already knew."

Li Qing patted Xuanbaoer's head, and the group headed toward the Peace Hotel.

...

Meanwhile, inside the Peace Hotel, after reaching an agreement with Yu Liang, Yang Mi was following the script's requirements, personally directing the on-site renovation and decoration additions.

"Miss Yang, according to your request, all the lighting fixtures have been replaced," Yu Liang said respectfully with a smile as he stood nearby. "At this pace, the renovation will be basically finished in less than three days."

When it came to the hotel's renovation, Yu Liang voluntarily acted as a site supervisor, constantly trying to curry favor with Yang Mi. He knew that only by keeping her happy could his hotel be saved.

Seeing the crew bustling about and realizing filming could begin immediately, Yang Mi felt a surge of excitement.
"That's great. The very first scene of the show is shot here, so we can start filming in just a few days."

Just then, a lobby manager hurried over and glanced at Yu Liang, clearly bearing some news.

Yu Liang said indifferently, "What is it? Just say it here."

The manager lowered his voice. "Boss Yu, Mr. Li has arrived."

Busy as a bee, Yu Liang frowned and asked, "Which Mr. Li?"

The manager whispered, "The same Mr. Li who came last time, Mr. Li Qing. Boss Yu, is Mr. Li here to inspect the work?"

Upon hearing that it was Li Qing, Yu Liang's heart skipped a beat!
"Quick, quick! Mr. Li is a distinguished guest; I must go and greet him personally!"

Yu Liang was so flustered his movements became clumsy, accompanied by a wave of lingering panic. He had been working diligently these past few days—surely he hadn't done anything wrong, right?

Meanwhile, Yang Mi, who had overheard their conversation, felt her expression turn somewhat unnatural. Why was Li Qing here? Could it be that he brought Xuanbaoer out for dinner again? Or was he specifically here to see her?

Yang Mi shook her head, wondering if she was becoming too sensitive and constantly imagining scenarios for herself.

As Yu Liang rushed out to welcome them, Yang Mi grew increasingly nervous.

Seeming to notice Yang Mi's strange demeanor, He Baibai walked over and asked with curiosity, "Mi Jie, what's wrong?"

Yang Mi replied calmly, "I just heard Boss Yu say that Li Qing has arrived. And since Li Qing is Boss Yu's honored guest, Boss Yu went out to greet him in person."

He Baibai paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Since Li Qing rented the entire Peace Hotel, he definitely spent a fortune, so of course he's Boss Yu's honored guest. Besides, why are you panicking? What, feeling nervous seeing a domineering CEO?"

He Baibai's lighthearted teasing helped Yang Mi relax a little.
"Alright, he's probably just bringing Xuanbaoer out for dinner."

As the two were speaking, they saw Li Qing walking slowly toward them, carrying Xuanbaoer in his arms, while Yu Liang trailed behind like an attendant.

As they approached, Yang Mi instinctively looked away, feeling too shy to meet his gaze directly. To be honest, she didn't even know what was wrong with herself.

However, upon seeing Xuanbaoer, Yang Mi broke into a smile.

Xuanbaoer sat cozily in Li Qing's arms, her big eyes fixed intently on Yang Mi. But sensing there were too many people around and fearing she might cause trouble for Yang Mi, Xuanbaoer refrained from calling out to her.

"Li Qing, are you here to...?"

Stepping closer, Yang Mi felt she should at least say hello; outsiders had no idea about their relationship anyway.
