Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Hand over the money

Bai Meiyue was calmly sipping the tea that the receptionist served her. Her actions were elegant and unhurried; in the past, she had been careless towards Xiao Cai. She would eat whatever was given to her, and that too in a hurry.

Because of this, her child suffered a lot. When Bai Cai was born, he was not only small; he was really weak! It was all because of his mother, who did not take care of herself properly.

Thus, this time around Bai Meiyue swore that she would never do anything to harm her child. She would eat and sleep well and even buy nourishing supplements for Xiao Cai, who was growing in her belly with each passing day.

She glanced at the clock that was on the wall and sighed.

"He is late," Bai Meiyue felt like she was wasting her precious time. When she could have used this time to stock up resources, she was waiting here for Lei Qian.

After all, the doomsday was only going to get closer from here on out.

If not for the fact that she had no choice, Bai Meiyue wouldn't be wasting her time like this.

After she finished drinking the tea, she placed the cup on the table and raised her head. Her gaze bumped with Lei Qian, who stood at the threshold of the room where she was sitting.

'Finally,' thought Bai Meiyue. If he was another second later, she would have forgotten all about the rules and regulations and barged inside his office.

She didn't have the patience to let this man take his sweet time.

"Mister Lei," Bai Meiyue got to her feet and said to the man in a polite voice, "Please forgive me for coming unannounced." She tried hard to ignore his beautiful face and charming eyes that seemed to be looking into her soul.

Not because this man was one of the most beautiful men she had seen, but because his eyes and facial features resembled Bai Cai!

Especially those eyes. Even now Bai Meiyue was trying her best to suppress herself from crying. Her son had one of the most beautiful and innocent pair of eyes; even when Bai Meiyue disliked her son, her foolish self believed that it was because of his existence that she lost her chance to be with Su Hu—she couldn't help but adore him.

It was all due to his eyes.

And now that she was aware of how big of a fool she had been, Bai Meiyue felt even more emotional while looking at those familiar eyes.

When Lei Qian saw the expression on her face, his heart thudded against his chest. Sure enough, it was just as he thought! Bai Meiyue was scared of him!

If he could, Lei Qian would have gone back in time and kicked himself for acting like a hooligan.

Look at this; just his mere sight was enough to make Bai Meiyue's eyes turn red with fear.

Though he had not seen a pig being butchered, he knew how it was done.

As if just realising what he had said, he turned to look at Bai Meiyue and said to her apologetically, "No offence, Miss Bai."

"None taken," Bai Meiyue replied with an arch of the brow. She then turned to look at Lei Qian before saying to him, "Can we talk, CEO Lei, or do I need to wait for a bit more?"

"Yes, we can," Lei Qian exhaled. He turned to look at Lei Wu before saying to him in a cold voice, "Can you leave now? I have something that I need to say to Miss Bai."

Lei Wu backed off with his hands in the air.

"Righto," Lei Wu glanced at Bai Meiyue meaningfully before turning around on his feet and walking away.

Lei Qian's eyes, on the other hand, darkened. He sensed that Lei Wu had planned something.

This was a crucial period of time for him, as his father was still recovering from his surgery.

He couldn't afford to cause any trouble and on top of that —

'If that man realises my interest in Miss Bai, he would not leave her alone.'

More than causing trouble for his father, Lei Qian was worried that Lei Wu and his father would do something to Bai Meiyue.
