Ying Mohua thought for a while then looked at Xia Liang. 

"What you said makes some sense."

He paused and continued, "For the sake of your inspirational chicken soup, I can return Xia's branches in the United States intact and I can also help you settle all your debts at once. Correspondingly, I hope to hire you as my temporary consultant for the next five years. What about Mr. Xia's intentions?"

(Chicken soup: the words chicken soup became a shorthand for a cure-all, a mysterious-but-effective way to solve problems; inspirational)

Everyone at the scene looked at each other. They didn't expect that the atmosphere would suddenly changed. Zhou Shuo looked back at Xia Liang nervously.

Xia Liang smiled peacefully. 

"President Ying is too dear to me and I only cooked some inspirational chicken soup to encourage morale. For me to march and make plans, I am afraid I am not qualified enough."

Ying Mohua smiled motionlessly. "It's okay, just make some chicken soup occasionally. I love your chicken soup." 

The audience: "..."

Xia Liang understands in his heart that Ying Mohua's compromise is limited. He thought carefully for a moment and said, "Thank you, President Ying but now...I really don't have time to look around. Can you give me another half a year?"

Ying Mohua frowned, "You mean your illness? I said, I can..." 

"The disease is not difficult to treat." Xia Liang said, "I don't have to worry about it all the time. It's just that in addition to curing the disease, I still have other trivial things to deal with, so..."

Ying Mohua stared at him for a moment but he couldn't see any clues from under his submissive appearance. After a while, he nodded slightly. 

"Okay, I will give you half a year more. I hope you can keep your promise." 

"Definitely." Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief almost inaudibly.

He promised to respond to Ying Mohua at this moment but in fact, it was just a delay. As long as he can survive his expected date of delivery, after the child is born, and arrange the follow-up matters properly, he will have the leeway to deal with the troublesome Ying Mohua and the troublesome family behind him.

Ying Mohua asked for a promise from him and suddenly his mood broadened a lot.

For Ying Mohua, he will not let go of this beauty. It's just that this beauty... it seems that he doesn't have "self-awareness" as he himself said. In that case, he can only change his strategy and slowly pursue it. Thinking of this, he waved to everyone behind him to withdraw.

However, he himself still stood still. When his subordinates were almost withdrawn, he looked at Xia Liang and said, "I will ask you one final question." 

"Go ahead, President Ying..." 

"In the beginning, why did you suddenly change your mobile phone number?"

Xia Liang was taken aback. He raised his eyes to meet Ying Mohua's gaze. At this moment, Ying Mohua's eyes are dim and his emotions are unrecognizable. 

Xia Liang smiled and said, "Why should President Ying worry about the old things ten years ago."

Ying Mohua approached Xia Liang step by step, patted Zhou Shuo's hand in front of him, and looked at Xia Liang condescendingly. 

"President Xia may not know, I have a lot of problems and I especially like to drill the horns. So even if It's an old thing ten years ago, I still need to talk about it."

Seeing that they were less than a few centimeters apart, Du Lanze and Wen Ping held their breath nervously, for fear that the overbearing president would lift the table and tear off Xia Liang's cloak.

Zhou Shuo even wanted to throw this guy, who blatantly coveted his Omega, to the ground. But Xia Liang's hand hidden under the cloak quietly squeezed Zhou Shuo's clenched fist on his side, suppressing his anger.

"I didn't think well at the time," Xia Liang said slowly, "You also know that I was a student at that time and I was just going to the United States as a summer trainee. The number given to you is also the mobile phone number I used temporarily in the United States. I returned to China shortly afterwards but left my mobile phone at the branch office. I don't know which cleaner picked it up. In short, I couldn't find it."

Zhou Shuo looked down at Xia Liang who was sitting next to him. Only he knew that Xia Liang was not telling the truth.

Ying Mohua stared at him suspiciously for a long while and asked, "It's just because of that? I could not reach you back then..." 

Ying Mohua stopped in the middle of his sentence, as if he was afraid of exposing some of his secret emotions. He was very surprised, faltered, and asked, "Have you never tried to contact me?"

"Sorry, I don't have a good memory. I only saved your number in that phone, I didn't remember it in my head." Xia Liang looked innocent, "What's more, you only told me your name and not your surname at the beginning. I was relatively ignorant at the time, I did not expect that the Morton I met was actually one of the candidates for the heir to the famous Nelson family."

"..." Ying Mohua was dumb for a while. After speaking for a long time, he actually had to bear half of the responsibility.

"Okay." Ying Mohua took a half step back, regaining his aggressive aura, "I won't pursue the past. But the promise you made today, I hope you won't forget it again."

Having said that, before Xia Liang had any reaction, he turned and strode away. After Ying Mohua's figure disappeared, the four people present let out a sigh of relief.

Xia Liang turned to look at Zhou Shuo and asked, "Are you injured?" 

Seeing Xia Liang caring about him, Zhou Shuo shook his head with a warm heart. 

Xia Liang is still worried, "Just now, I saw Du Lanze fell seriously."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I just can't listen." The long-haired beauty said sourly, "I just fell casually and I didn't even use one-third of my usual strength. Your Alpha's physique is better than normal."

Zhou Shuo then looked back at the long-haired beauty. 

"You said he is Du Lanze?" 

"It turns out...you are Du Lanze." 

In the dim corner, a cold and vicious voice came suddenly.

Everyone followed the prestige and found that it was Chen Sha who had gone back without them knowing when.
