Hot spring? Xu Zixi was stunned for a moment. When she looked into Wei Shu's eyes, she immediately understood.
Heh heh, she was tricked by him again! She thought he was so haggard because of the shopping bags he had thrown away, but it wasn't! He disappeared all day yesterday. So he was preparing for this hot spring trip!
Xu Zixi felt that her mood had been like riding a roller coaster recently, going up and down. Her blood pressure soared rapidly.
"Really? Mr. Yan invited us to soak in the hot spring. This is so great!"
"Can we bring our family members? Can we bring as many people as we want?"
Wei Shu said to the person, "Yes, you can bring as many people as you want."
"Assistant Wei! I sign up! I want to take my wife and children there with me!"
Wei Shu was instantly surrounded by everyone's enthusiasm. For a moment, the observation hall was filled with the chattering sound of people vying to sign up.
Zhou Yaru poked Xu Zixi in the waist with her finger and whispered in her ear, "Xiaoxi, it's a hot spring! Almost all the hot spring resorts in Haicheng are natural volcanic hot springs. It's really good for your health!"
Xu Zixi finally managed to calm her mood. She glanced at her sideways and said, "If you want to go, then sign up."
Zhou Yaru said, "What about you? Mr. Yan said we could bring our family members. Maybe you can bring the baby with you."
"Were you bribed again to be someone's lobbyist?" Xu Zixi said as she looked in the direction of Yan Yancheng. She didn't know if he could hear her, but the expression on his face was visibly nervous.
Heh heh, she knew it!
Noticing that her expression was not right, Zhou Yaru quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no. I swear that I haven't contacted Mr. Yan since that day! I really just asked casually! If you don't want to go, then I won't go either!"
Xu Zixi did not answer. Instead, she stood there with her arms folded and a cold expression on her face.
Don't think she couldn't see what he was trying to achieve with this hot spring trip. By allowing everyone to bring their family members, he actually wanted to take this opportunity to let everyone discover the secret that he was the father of the two children, right?
First, he became the largest shareholder of Pei's. Then, he publicly protected her at Pei's. Now, he wanted to expose the fact that they had children in front of others. Step by step, it was like boiling a frog in warm water. In the end, he would leave her and the two children with nowhere to run.
She had to admit that it was a good plan!
What should she do? Should she take up the challenge?
She squinted her eyes slightly and pondered.
It took Wei Shu a long time to deal with the others before squeezing his way to Xu Zixi. He bent down slightly and asked with a smile,
"Manager Yuan, how many family members do you plan to bring for the hot spring trip?"
Look, he was very sly with his question. By asking about the number of family members, he was clearly certain that she would go. He did not leave her any room to refuse.
Wasn't he supposed to be so powerful? If so, then don't blame her~
Xu Zixi looked directly into Wei Shu's eyes. When she saw his gaze begin to dodge, she laughed and said, "Six."
Zhou Yaru stared wide-eyed at the person beside her. She thought Xiaoxi would refuse, but unexpectedly, she agreed? However... didn't Xiaoxi only have two children? Where did the six family members come from?
Wei Shu was also a little puzzled. "May I ask who the six are?"
"Two children, two servants, a tutor, and a driver. Please help to arrange them as well, Assistant Wei. In Haicheng, they are all considered my family."
The smile on Wei Shu's face could barely hold on. Was Aunt Zhang going too? He still remembered the powerful scene of Aunt Zhang hitting the Third Master with a broom that day. If Aunt Zhang knew what his Third Master wanted to do that day, would she kick the Third Master into the water at the hot spring resort?
But Xu Zixi wasn't done yet. "How about we call Dai Sha and Huang Zhenzhen from the secretary group as well? It'll be livelier with more people."
Wei Shu was suffering inside. The Third Master arranged this hot spring trip to chase his wife! He didn't really want everyone to go on a vacation! If she brought all the servants and her best friend along, how would his Third Master have a chance to get close to her?
Xu Zixi knew that Wei Shu could not make the decision, so she deliberately said to Yan Yancheng, "Mr. Yan, you're so generous. You'll definitely agree, right?"
Yan Yancheng walked to Wei Shu's side and nodded.
"Sure, I'll get Wei Shu to arrange everything properly. If your cars aren't enough to seat everyone, I can help to take some of you there that day."
Xu Zixi sized up Yan Yancheng, who was looking very eager. Her gaze lingered on the dark circles under his eyes before she sneered in her heart. She pulled Zhou Yaru and left. Zhou Yaru turned around and said to Wei Shu, "Special Assistant Wei, I won't be bringing any family members! I'll be fine by myself! Remember to register me!"
After leaving the observation hall, Zhou Yaru pulled Xu Zixi's hand and asked curiously, "Xiaoxi, why did you suddenly change your mind and decided to go?"
"Since the largest shareholder of the company is inviting us so warmly and is allowing us to bring our family members, I naturally won't miss such a good opportunity to take advantage of him." Xu Zixi said. She deliberately emphasized the words 'largest shareholder'. Although she was clearly gnashing her teeth as she said it, it sounded strangely coquettish to Zhou Yaru's ears.
Why did she decide to take up the challenge? Of course, it was after much thought.
He wanted to publicly announce his father-son relationship with the two children in front of everyone. There was no problem with that. She could fulfill his wish. In any case, the public would eventually know that the two children had the Yan family's blood in them. She also did not intend to stop the two children from recognizing him. She had even given the two children some hints. Therefore, it didn't matter if this day came earlier or later.
But she wouldn't let him succeed so easily. She was worried about how to solve the problem with Fang Ruiyang's mother. Since he was so timely in giving her a pillow, then don't blame her for using him in return and taking some 'benefits' from him.
Xu Zixi's eyes curved up. She was as sly as a little fox.
In the Maybach, at the thought of the upcoming hot spring trip, Yan Yancheng's face was filled with a smile that he couldn't stop.
On the other hand, Wei Shu looked extremely worried. "Third Master, why did you agree to Miss Yuan just now? She invited so many people. Clearly, she doesn't want to be alone with you. How are you going to show your skills then?"
Yan Yancheng said, "You don't understand. The reason why I agreed to her is so that I can lower her guard and make her willing to bring the children to the hot spring resort. Secondly, I can take this opportunity to show my advantages and determination to the people around her and gain a few supporters for myself. Thirdly... when it comes to chasing a wife, there always has to be a few spectators to liven up the atmosphere. Maybe Zixi will agree to forgive me when she gets shy?"
Wei Shu understood. He gave him a thumbs up. "The Third Master has a good plan!"
Yan Yancheng patted the driver in the front seat. He said, "Let's go to the mall."
Wei Shu was quite surprised. "Third Master?" It was so strange. His Third Master had always avoided such places where there were a lot of people and noise. He never thought that he would actually take the initiative to go to the mall this time? The sun was truly rising from the west!
Yan Yancheng coughed lightly and explained seriously, "Since we're going to soak in the hot spring, we have to prepare our equipment properly. Oh, right. Remember not to give that Pei family brat a ticket to the hot spring resort. It's best if you can keep him so busy that he doesn't have time to rest. Don't let him come and cause trouble in front of Zixi and me. Xuanxuan specifically told me the name of that drama. It shows that he has high hopes for me. This time, we can only succeed and not fail. I must win Zixi over smoothly!"
Wei Shu also became serious. He nodded and said, "Yes, Third Master. I understand."
