Chapter 1794 - Love Rival

"I know you won't help her," Huo Sanyan said. "I asked her to go to you because I wanted her to apologize to you personally."

"Thank you."

"You don't have to thank me. We're family, aren't we? Plus, I'm your boss too. There's no way I can sit idly by when someone is trying to harm my employee." Huo Sanyan smiled and took Jing Xi's hand. "Come on, let's go get some lunch."

"I can't. You'll have to go alone," Jing Xi said. "I have to go home and check on the kids."

"Fine, fine," Huo Sanyan sighed. "Then, let's leave together."

Huo Sanyan also understood how much Jing Xi treasured her family. She wasn't going to stop a mother from thinking about her children.

They left Kaidi together, and a white car was waiting outside the building.

When they stepped out of the building, a man in a white suit and sunglasses came down from the car.

He was also carrying a bouquet of white roses in his hands.

Jing Xi's first impression towards the man was that he had to be a gentleman, and someone romantic.

"Miss Huo," the man greeted as he took off his sunglasses.

"Mr. Bai?" Huo Sanyan exclaimed. "What are you doing here?"

The moment Jing Xi realized that Huo Sanyan and that Mr. Bai could be old friends, plus the roses were a gift, Jing Xi began to feel worried for Ye Xun.

She was worried that the man could be Ye Xun's potential love rival.

The car from the palace arrived at that moment, and Jing Xi had no choice but to part ways with Huo Sanyan. The moment she got into the car, she messaged Ye Xun about the situation.

Even though it was just speculation, she still believed that Ye Xun had to be wary.

After Jing Xi left, Huo Sanyan continued her conversation with Bai Yanchuan and asked, "Have you had your lunch yet?"

"No. I'm still waiting for you to buy me lunch." Bai Yanchuan laughed.

"Of course! Let's go."

Huo Sanyan finally learned why Bai Yanchuan was in the Dragon Kingdom while they talked over lunch.

Bai Yanchuan wanted to set up a subsidiary in the Dragon Kingdom, but he encountered a small problem during the application. He needed Huo Sanyan's help.

Bai Yanchuan knew about Huo Sanyan's relationship with the king and was hoping that she could help him solve his problem. His future in the Dragon Kingdom depended on her.

"I see. Leave it to me!" Huo Sanyan nodded.

"Thank you so much."

Huo Sanyan was willing to help Bai Yanchuan because he used to help her when they were back in Estan. If not for him, she would've had a hard time finding a job there. Now that Bai Yanchuan wanted to extend his business to the Dragon Kingdom, it was time for Huo Sanyan to return the favor.

"How are things between you and Mr. Ye?" Bai Yanchuan asked after they'd come to an agreement on the subsidiary problems.

"Same old same old."

"Aren't you two going to marry?" Bai Yanchuan then asked as he looked at Huo Sanyan's face.

"Not at the moment." Huo Sanyan sighed as she thought of the man who never really cared about what was happening around him.

"That's too bad. I think Mr. Ye is a really great guy," Bai Yanchuan said. "But if you don't like him," he joked, "why not consider me?"
