Before Bai Tao could react, Luo He's low, cold voice echoed in her ear: "Check your phone."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively lowered her head to check the chat history—
"Holy! Over a hundred messages?!"
Her fingers trembled as she scrolled to the top. Bai Tao's pupils constricted—
Liang Yu, you little devil!
You actually added Luo He to the family group chat?!
And even boldly declared—he's my boyfriend?!
This is it... this is the end...
Bai Tao felt her world go black as she imagined herself being chased by her mother wielding a feather duster, getting kicked out of her company... her tragic future unfolding.
She suddenly looked up, her eyes glaring at Liang Yu: "You want to die?"
Liang Yu blinked furiously, folding her hands in a begging gesture. "Sis! I was forced! My fans threatened to unfollow me if I didn't do it! This is workplace extortion!"
Bai Tao clenched her fists, suppressing her rage. Now wasn't the time for retribution. The urgent task at hand was to—
Put out the fire!
She took a deep breath, trembling as she continued scrolling.
As expected, the group chat was already in chaos—
[Mother]: "Oh my darling son-in-law! Finally, you've opened up! @Luo He, son-in-law, come, let me see you!"
[Dad]: "Tao, such a big matter and you didn't tell us in advance? (Proud father face)"
[Grandma] (60-second voice message): "Oh my, my little Tao brought her boyfriend home? Grandma's giving you a big red envelope!"
[Aunt]: "@Luo He, welcome! Tao is new to love, you have to spoil her~ (covering mouth, smiling)"
[Uncle]: "Good boy, he'll be part of the family now. (Patting shoulder)"
[Grandpa]: "@Luo He, send me your birthdate, I'll match a good fate for you two! (Compass ready)"
[Mother] again added: "@Luo He, don't listen to that old man's superstitions! I'll tell you, Tao is a Aquarius, outwardly independent but soft inside, just needs a man who can control her! (Intense hint)"
[Cousin, Xie Xiaoran]: "Ahh, brother-in-law is so handsome! @Luo He, if you're being kidnapped, blink twice! (Evil laugh)"
Bai Tao's temples were throbbing, and just as she was about to throw her phone, a new message popped up on the screen—
Luo He: "Hello, Aunt, I was in a meeting and couldn't reply in time. Bai Tao is excellent. It's my honor to know her. (Smile)"
Bai Tao: ???
She stared at the screen, her fingertips growing cold.
This... this doesn't make sense!
The Luo He she knew, the ice-cold, aloof CEO who barely spoke in meetings, was now playing along with her family's "meeting the parents" charade?!
He even typed out two full lines?!
"Did her phone get hacked??"
"Or... was she so overwhelmed by my family's enthusiasm that she got dazed??"
Bai Tao's hands shook, and her mind was flooded with countless melodramatic scenarios—she wouldn't... really like me, would she?
"Impossible!" She shook her head violently.
Luo He, who was he?
The ruthless tycoon of the business world, cold-hearted, a man whose presence would freeze anyone within three meters!
He must be just playing along out of courtesy…
But the next moment, a new message popped up in the group—
Luo He: "@Grandpa, my birthdate is XXXXXX, please help us. (Respectful)"
Bai Tao: "!!!"
Her legs went weak, and her phone fell to the ground with a thud.
It's over…
The deeper he played into this, the harder it would be to explain later!
If he got upset...
"Will he buy up my neighborhood?"
"Blacklist me across the industry?"
"Or... drag me to the civil affairs bureau??"
