Unveil Her Secret Identities-Chapter 567 - 566 Soothing Sleep_1

"Hmm."

Xu Boyan sneered coldly, his gaze on Jiang Yu growing icier.

He could never treat kindly those who took interest in his little one. He was not a generous man.

"So, you have a fetish for pregnant women, quite unique."

Xu Boyan pulled Lu Qingyi into his arms, looking coldly at Jiang Yu as he spoke.

"Are you tired? If so, let’s go rest."

Then, Xu Boyan looked down at Lu Qingyi, asking softly.

He blamed himself for not coming earlier, leaving his little one to feel wronged.

Pregnant?

Jiang Yu was stunned.

"I’m not tired yet, but I want a hug."

Lu Qingyi opened her arms, speaking softly with a gentle smile on her lips as she gazed at Xu Boyan.

"Okay."

Xu Boyan carefully held Lu Qingyi in a princess carry.

His little one, definitely deserved to be doted on.

Jiang Yu observed the interaction between Lu Qingyi and Xu Boyan, finding himself at a loss for words.

"Xu Yi, handle this situation."

Xu Boyan turned to command Xu Yi, who was standing not too far away. With Lu Qingyi in his arms, they left.

Xu Yi nodded, looking at Jiang Yu and Liang Jiaojiao with an unfriendly gaze, sighing at their foolishness in his heart.

With Xu Boyan and Lu Qingyi gone, Lu Zhizhou also ensured to follow. If Xu Boyan handled the issue, she could rest easy.

Lu Qingyi buried her face in Xu Boyan’s chest, hugging his neck with both arms.

Many people at the banquet knew Xu Boyan. Seeing him holding a girl in his arms with a tender expression on his face, they all appeared surprised.

The sight was a far cry from Xu Boyan’s usual demeanor.

People shifted their discussion focus from Lu Mohai’s daughter to Xu Boyan.

"Xu Boyan, there are quite a lot of people at the banquet."

Lu Qingyi’s voice was soft. From the moment Xu Boyan held her, she had already regretted it.

She had not expected to be at the banquet hall, with so many people around.

"It’s fine, it’s only right for me to hold my wife."

Xu Boyan lowered his head to look tenderly at Lu Qingyi in his arms, his voice full of adoration.

Why can’t he?

It was merely displaying his affection for all to see.

Lu Qingyi remained silent, her hands that were holding onto Xu Boyan’s neck tightened slightly.

"Oh my god, is that Xu Boyan?"

"My goodness, isn’t that a woman in his arms?"

"Unbelievable, who knew Xu Boyan could be so tender."

"I really doubt my eyes."

"Their display of affection really blinds me."

"..."

Xu Boyan carried Lu Qingyi to a resting room upstairs. He carefully laid Lu Qingyi on the bed.

"Sleep if you’re tired."

Xu Boyan gently touched Lu Qingyi’s forehead, speaking softly with tender affection in his eyes.

"Okay, but sleep with me."

Lu Qingyi grabbed Xu Boyan’s hand, blinking as she spoke.

"Hmm, I’ll stay with you."

Xu Boyan pretended to lie down next to Lu Qingyi, his gentle gaze fixed on her face.

"I’ll sing for you."

Xu Boyan managed a smile as he spoke softly.

"Okay."

Lu Qingyi’s eyes immediately lit up. It seemed she had never heard Xu Boyan sing before and was looking forward to it.

Xu Boyan started to hum a few notes, making Lu Qingyi’s face light up with a blissful smile.

Gradually, she fell asleep to Xu Boyan’s tender singing.

Xu Boyan listened to Lu Qingyi’s steady breathing, gently pushing her loose hair behind her ears, then carefully prying her hand off him and quietly leaving the resting room.

He had other issues to handle.

"Master Xu, I’ve already announced that companies collaborating with the Jiang and Liang families are against us, the Xu family. Many companies have terminated their partnerships."

Xu Yi, standing at the door, immediately reported this to Xu Boyan as he saw him exiting the room.

They didn’t even need to do anything. As simple as the words sounded, they were enough to send the Jiang and Liang families downhill.

The Xu family’s influence was considerable. No one dared to oppose them.

"Okay, let’s leave it at that."

Xu Boyan nodded without any intention of further actions.

This lesson was enough.

"Master Xu."

Jiang Yu was downstairs when Xu Boyan descended. Seeing Xu Boyan, he quickly walked up to him.

Xu Boyan stopped in his tracks.

"Mrs. Xu is a beauty like no other. A common man like me also appreciates beauty and I might have disrespected her. I hope you can pardon me."

Jiang Yu began with a torrent of words, praising Lu Qingyi’s beauty and admitting his missteps.

Each word he spoke was layered with flatteries, making him pleasant to hear.

Amused, Xu Boyan looked at Jiang Yu, waiting for what he had to say next.

"Master Xu, I truly realize my mistake. So, about the Jiang family..."

Jiang Yu asked looking at Xu Boyan.

Beautiful women should not be trifled with. Jiang Yu suddenly felt relieved that he hadn’t said anything too disrespectful. Otherwise, he would feel too awkward to approach Xu Boyan now,

"This lesson will pass quickly."

Xu Boyan said, hands in his pockets, his voice cold.

"And for the Liang family..."

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously.

"It’s a different story."

Xu Boyan’s voice was icy cold.

He would not let anyone off the hook who made his little one unhappy.

If Jiang Yu was simply someone who admired Lu Qingyi, Xu Boyan would have done nothing. He had that confidence.

The admonition given to the Jiang family happened due to Liang Jiaojiao’s improper remarks, which were initiated by Jiang Yu.

The Liang family was different. Liang Jiaojiao had caused unhappiness for his loved one. If his loved one was unhappy, so was he. If he was unhappy, a frivolous apology wouldn’t suffice.

Jiang Yu stared at Xu Boyan, opening his mouth to speak but nothing came out. In the end, he left without saying a word.

Liang Jiaojiao picked the wrong fight.

Evening arrived quickly. After a busy day, Lu Mohai finally got to rest during the banquet.

The banquet hall was filled with large round tables, the guests sitting around them. The tables were laden with delicious food and desserts.

The spread was lavish, quite appealing to the appetite.

However, the guests’ focus was not on the food or desserts, but rather on the identity of Lu Mohai’s daughter.

"Sigh, why haven’t we seen Lu Mohai’s daughter yet?"

"Right, right, so curious."

"There are two empty seats at Lu Mohai’s table, did you notice?"

"Yes, yes."

"Could it be for the mother and daughter?"

"It’s hard to say, what if it’s for the daughter and son-in-law."

"..."

The guests were engaged in diverse discussions, all curious about Lu Qingyi. Unfortunately, they hadn’t seen her yet.
