"When I was ten years old, something happened in my family. My parents passed away, and at that time, I had no idea what to do. I only knew that my parents had failed in their business and chose to commit suicide. They left me all alone, and later it was Papa Pan and Mama Pan who took me back home. From then on, they treated me as their own child. I am very grateful for everything; Papa Pan and Mama Pan were very good to me. Every day I was with Pan Xinzi, and Yan Momo would come to comfort me. As time went by, I gradually grew up and slowly emerged from the shadow of my parents' death. However, I began to notice that Pan Xinzi seemed different from before. Even Yan Momo had changed, but at that time, I didn't think much of it. A few years later, Papa Pan and Mama Pan also passed away. However, Papa Pan left a will stating that Pan Xinzi could only inherit the company's shares if he married me."
"I didn't think much of it at the time; after all, I was definitely going to marry Pan Xinzi in the future. Just a week before our wedding, I was so excited that I went to check out our wedding house early. To my shock, I saw something I would never forget for the rest of my life. My fiancé was in our wedding house with my best friend, rolling in bed together. I simply couldn't accept this reality and immediately canceled the engagement with Pan Xinzi. Later, I went to a bar to drown my sorrows and ended up forcing myself onto you."
When Lan Baobao recounted these events again, her mood had calmed down significantly. The intense pain she felt back then had long faded away, leaving only faint memories and scars. Pan Xinzi no longer held any place in Lan Baobao's life; she could now face the past calmly and surely smile at the future.
"Don't worry, silly. Those two will never have the chance to bully you again," Ye Zixun said after listening to Lan Baobao's story, narrowing his eyes slightly. A dangerous glint flashed in his gaze; in Ye Zixun's heart, he was the only one allowed to bully Lan Baobao. No one else would have even the slightest chance.
Even though Lan Baobao clearly knew that Ye Zixun did not love her, a large part of his words stemmed from his male pride. However, hearing Ye Zixun say this still moved her deeply. It felt like a person who had been drifting at sea for years suddenly finding a piece of driftwood—a lifesaving piece of wood.
"Okay." At that moment, Lan Baobao was willing to believe Ye Zixun; over the years, he was the only man she could trust. This man, who was her legal husband, gave Lan Baobao an infinite sense of security at this moment.
"Alright, it's getting late. Let's sleep; I won't let anything like today happen again," Ye Zixun whispered softly in Lan Baobao's ear, sweet words that intoxicated the night.
That night, Lan Baobao slept exceptionally soundly and peacefully.
When she woke up the next morning, Lan Baobao found herself in Ye Zixun's arms, and a sudden sweetness surged within her heart. It felt like sweet cotton candy—sweet and sticky, just like love.
"Love?" Lan Baobao wondered; she wasn't sure what was happening now—could it really be love? Would her love be with this current husband?
"Why are you up so early?" Ye Zixun chuckled as he looked at the dazed Lan Baobao; the morning sunlight made her face look particularly beautiful. Even someone like Ye Zixun, who was used to seeing beautiful women, found himself deeply attracted to Lan Baobao at that moment.
"Yeah. I slept well." After saying this, Lan Baobao hurried off to the bathroom.
Seeing Lan Baobao's mischievous demeanor made Ye Zixun inexplicably happy. He couldn't help but burst into laughter early in the morning. When Lan Baobao heard Ye Zixun's laughter from the bathroom, a blush crept onto her face.
By the time Ye Zixun finished getting ready as well, they held hands and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast. Grandpa Ye liked to sleep in late, so breakfast was usually served quite late in their household. Therefore, there were only four members of Ye Zixun's family at the dining table.
When Mumu saw Ye Zixun holding Lan Baobao's hand as they came down together, a trace of barely noticeable joy flashed across her eyes. No matter how clever Mumu was, she remained a child at heart. And what children most desired was to have loving parents who cared for them.
"Wow, Daddy and Mommy are so affectionate, they're even holding hands!" Ruo Ruo exclaimed loudly as if she had discovered a new world, her face shining with excitement. Ruo Ruo grabbed Brother Mu's hand and bounced around, thrilled by her new discovery.
"Ruo Ruo, be good. We should go eat. It's not right to disturb others' affection," Mumu said seriously, despite the absurdity of his words.
However, it was clear that Mumu's words pleased his father, so Ye Zixun didn't say anything to criticize him. But Lan Baobao, who was as innocent as a sheep, blushed.
"Brother Mu, what are you doing?" Lan Baobao playfully pouted at her son, as if Mumu were her father. Ye Zixun frowned upon hearing Lan Baobao's words directed at Mumu. This situation was concerning; it was dangerous for their son to hold such a high position in Lan Baobao's heart.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and eat. Why waste time talking?" Ye Zixun asserted his authority as the head of the family.
The family of four quietly enjoyed breakfast on that bright morning, resembling a beautiful painting. Even later, when Lan Baobao was locked in the room by Ye Zixun, she often reminisced about that morning.
The sun shone brightly, and life was peaceful. At that moment, there was no so-called Cloud Emperor or the prestigious Ye Family background; there was only the simple happiness of being together as a family. Nothing more.
After breakfast, Ye Zixun and Lan Baobao went to work. Mumu and Ruo Ruo were also sent to school by the driver after finishing their meal. A new day began, with everyone busy at their respective posts in an orderly manner.
Upon arriving at the company, Lan Baobao sat in the office daydreaming. Because she had married someone so outstanding and powerful, no one dared to assign her any work. Of course, since Ye Zixun was her direct superior, no one would dare to boss her around.
Lan Baobao sighed softly at her desk, thinking to herself that she too belonged to a family with someone influential above her.
"Baby, you've been sighing since you got to the company; this doesn't seem like the behavior of someone who just got married," Amy said from across the table, unable to bear Lan Baobao's miserable appearance any longer.
"Sigh, it's so boring. Amy, I've just been sitting here since I arrived; I have no work at all. It's so frustrating! If this continues, my brain is going to turn to mush!" Lan Baobao complained with a tearful face; sometimes being too comfortable wasn't a good thing.
Amy shook her head with a smile; Lan Baobao truly didn't know how fortunate she was. The president treated her so well yet she still complained. Indeed, the life of the wealthy was unimaginable for employees like her.
"You should be grateful; you have no idea how good the president is to you," Amy said enviously.
"Well, that's because I'm his wife," Lan Baobao replied while scratching her head, coming up with a lame excuse to brush off Amy's comments.
Ye Zixun How could they be so good to her? I really don't understand what they are thinking. He is clearly a playboy, so why do so many women flock to him? Of course, at this moment, Lan Baobao conveniently forgets that she is just one of many women, only her status is slightly higher than the others.
Amy noticed that Lan Baobao had started to space out again, so she wisely chose not to disturb her. Instead, she focused on her own work. In fact, Amy really liked Lan Baobao. She was a girl who, even after marrying the CEO, remained innocent and straightforward, making it hard not to like her.
"Hello, I am Pan Xinzi. I have an appointment with your CEO today to discuss the contract." Pan Xinzi's voice suddenly rang out. Lan Baobao was startled and looked up to see Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo.
"Okay, please wait a moment," Amy replied in a businesslike manner.
Meanwhile, Lan Baobao lowered her head. She didn't want to have anything to do with these two neurotics; just seeing them made her feel flustered. However, Lan Baobao felt a bit strange. Ye Zixun clearly knew who Pan Xinzi and Yan Momo were, so why would he choose to cooperate with them?
Looking at the indifferent Lan Baobao, a wave of anger surged within Pan Xinzi. This despicable woman had left him and was living so well; it was simply an insult to him.
At this moment, Yan Momo felt even more unbalanced. She had thought that after stealing Pan Xinzi, Lan Baobao would become very downcast. Who would have thought that she married someone a hundred or even a thousand times better than Pan Xinzi, Ye Zixun! How could she possibly feel at ease? Just wait and see; since she could take Pan Xinzi away from Lan Baobao, taking Ye Zixun would be no problem at all.
Lan Baobao glanced at the heavily made-up Yan Momo, a cold smile flashed through her mind. Yan Momo really understood men. Lan Baobao sarcastically thought about how openly Pan Xinzi brought Yan Momo along without fearing that she would cuckold him. With a wicked sense of humor, she hoped that Yan Momo's plans would fall through and that it would lead to misunderstandings between her and Pan Xinzi.
"Please come in; the CEO is already waiting for you in the office," Amy said as she hung up the phone, conveying Ye Zixun's message.
Upon hearing this, Yan Momo let out a cold snort towards Lan Baobao, as if showing off or mocking her. However, it didn't matter to Lan Baobao. Whatever they were doing now had nothing to do with her, and there was no way she would marry Pan Xinzi to let him gain shares.
