He had to admit that Wen Huai was a natural-born businessman. She had an extremely sharp intuition when it came to investing. After more than an hour of conversation in the bar, she had come up with three different plans, and each of them was commendable. Bai Xiao took a pen and wrote comments on those plans, comparing their advantages and disadvantages.

The construction of the business circle on the West Coast was already set in stone. What Bai Xiao needed to do now was to choose the best plan and inform the other shareholders of the Bai Corporation during the meeting.

Although he now held the largest shares and could almost be said to have the final say in the shareholders’ meeting, it was still necessary to let those investors see where the money was spent so that no one would be dissatisfied.

The entire villa was shrouded in darkness, and only Bai Xiao’s room was still lit. After everything was settled, Bai Xiao stood up and hammered his sore neck and shoulders.

Bai Xiao glanced at the clock on the wall. It was two in the morning. He yawned, grabbed his pajamas, and went into the bathroom. He took a comfortable hot shower, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

At four in the morning, Bai Xiao lay peacefully on the bed, his breathing steady. If his eyes were not still open, he would have looked like he had fallen asleep.

He had insomnia again.

Realizing this problem, Bai Xiao let out a long sigh. He suddenly missed the incense that Hu Ke had given him last night. The feeling of losing sleep after a night of sleep was simply like a thousand cuts.

Bai Xiao tossed and turned and suddenly began to think. He wanted to ask Hu Ke if it was feasible to buy some of that incense.

Hu Ke had no idea that Bai Xiao had not slept the entire night. She had given him the incense yesterday as a form of repayment. Now, Bai Xiao’s sleep quality had nothing to do with her. It was fine as long as she slept well.

When Hu Ke woke up the next day, she went downstairs for breakfast and was surprised to see Bai Xiao who had yet to leave.

Bai Xiao sat upright at the dining table. After Bian Fang placed the breakfast she had prepared on the table, she went to clean up. Seeing that Bai Xiao had no intention of leaving, Hu Ke did not intend to suffer. She washed her hands and sat down to prepare to eat.

To her surprise, Bai Xiao, who had never bothered to eat at the same table as her, also picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

The nutritionist’s breakfast for Hu Ke was very sumptuous. There was chicken porridge with bamboo shoots, tea eggs, tuna sandwiches, and a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice. This breakfast was very nutritious.

Hu Ke ate happily, and even Bai Xiao ate a few more mouthfuls.

Realizing that she had eaten half of a sandwich, Bai Xiao finally remembered his goal. He wiped his mouth and waited patiently for Hu Ke to finish her breakfast.

[If you have anything to say, just say it. Stop looking at me.]

Hu Ke originally thought that Bai Xiao just woke up late and would go to work after breakfast. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiao had already put down his chopsticks and did not intend to move. He just watched her eat. Hu Ke felt nauseous from his gaze and could not help but take out his phone to type.

“I want to ask if you still have the incense you gave me that day?” Bai Xiao looked at the words on the phone she pushed over and coughed awkwardly.

Hu Ke raised her eyebrows. She did not expect the workaholic Bai Xiao to be willing to lower himself to eat with her for this matter. Hu Ke took a sip of freshly squeezed juice and continued typing.

[I can make it if you still need it but I can’t give it to you for free. You have to buy it.]

Bai Xiao looked at the phone that was pushed over this time and heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he could buy it, it was fine. He was afraid that Hu Ke would take the opportunity to take revenge and refuse to sell it to him.

“Sure, I’ll take all of the rest. Name a price.”

Hu Xiao did not expect Bai Xiao to agree so readily. She estimated that she still could make a hundred with the materials in her hands.

[I can still make more than a hundred with the ingredients. I’ll make a hundred. Do you want all of them?]

“I want them all. Five million.” Bai Xiao said firmly.

A good night’s sleep for Fragrance. It cost 50,000 yuan to see a psychiatrist for three hours. Five million yuan for three months of peaceful sleep was not a loss at all.

[Deal!]

Bai Xiao took out a check and signed it readily. Hu Ke finished the rest of the breakfast in two to three bites and prepared to go upstairs. She did not forget to type a promise to Bai Xiao.

[I’ll start now. I can probably make fifty today. I’ll be done in two days.]

Bai Xiao nodded, put on his suit jacket, and went to work.

Bian Fang finished cleaning the second floor. She looked at the unexpectedly harmonious two people this morning and smiled.

It seemed that Young Master and Young Madam could get along peacefully.
