Chapter 720 - 301: Scalp Tingling (Part 3)
To avoid being targeted, his funds are spread across numerous areas. For individual stocks, the short margin isn’t above one billion US Dollars, generally around two to three hundred million US Dollars.
After a few busy days, December arrives.
...
"Didn’t the goods arrive at the dock? Ship them all back!"
"I don’t need any damn excuses, increase the transport capacity, get it done within ten days!"
"What’s the big deal about tens of thousands of tons? Is tens of thousands of tons even considered difficult?"
Li Yang’s temper began to flare up ever since December started.
He directly launched the protective clothing and disinfectant projects at Green Water Group and also ordered a batch of goods from some pharmaceutical and equipment companies he had previously cooperated with.
The fever medicine and ventilators were nominally procured for the hospital Jiang Banxia built in Jiang City, although the quantity was slightly overwhelming.
A total of one thousand ventilators were procured from two companies, with the condition that delivery within a year is acceptable, and payment would follow upon completion.
But those are small companies with annual outputs of several billion. Even with Li Yang’s investment, they wouldn’t experience a boom in the short term.
Faced with the substantial orders of several million or even tens of millions from Li Yang, naturally, they hoped to quickly fulfill the order and get paid.
On a certain day in December, after seeing that news, Li Yang decisively drove to Jiangbei.
He had previously casually asked Bai Qing once, and Bai Qing had shown no intention of returning.
So he must come this time.
If he doesn’t come personally, Bai Qing definitely won’t return.
Around seven in the evening, Bai Qing returned and looked a bit surprised to see Li Yang there.
"Oh, Mr. Li, why are you here?"
Li Yang said, "If I don’t come, will you call me your ex next time?"
"I actually thought about it."
After Bai Qing took off her coat, she went to the sofa.
Chen Peipei sensed something was off between the two, so she took Bai Ye to the room.
The living room soon had only Li Yang and Bai Qing remaining.
"Wasn’t everything fine when I left last time? I also explained to you that topic was because of Wu Tianqi, I truly didn’t have that thought."
Bai Qing grabbed the fruit from the tea table and ate without concern, casually responded, "Oh, got it."
Li Yang’s temper flared up: "What kind of attitude is this? You can’t believe any explanation?"
"I believe you." Bai Qing took a bite of the apple, leaving two neat rows of teeth marks.
"Regardless of whether you believe it or not, you have to come back and spend New Year with me this year!"
Bai Qing immediately said, "I’m not going back, still have lots of work at the company. Without a backup now, have to earn some formula money for the kid."
"Hey, I bet I can still handle you!"
Li Yang, upon finishing his words, directly snatched the apple from Bai Qing’s hand and carried her towards the bedroom.
As the bedroom door slammed shut, Chen Peipei peeked her head out from her room.
Within two minutes, Bai Qing’s pleading voice was heard.
Bai Ye also peeked out, asking, "Mom, is Dad hitting Mom?"
Such a term of address might confuse those unaware.
"No."
"But I heard Mom seems to be crying."
"Uh... that’s not crying, it’s excitement."
"Is excitement like this?"
"Yes."
"But why I’ve never heard Mom being this excited?"
"Me? That’s because Dad wasn’t here."
In such a bizarre conversational atmosphere, Chen Peipei sensed something was strange.
This chaotic term of address certainly seems inappropriate in some contexts.
She knew Bai Qing had been feeling down recently, but what exactly happened, Bai Qing didn’t say.
It was only after hearing what Li Yang said upon returning today that she understood there seemed to be some issues in their relationship.
...
"Miss Bai, there’s no third chance, make me apologize again and I refuse!"
Lying in Li Yang’s arms, Bai Qing whispered, "I’ve been thinking, maybe you shouldn’t come over for the next period."
"Okay, but I’m about to get rid of Wu Tianqi, that damn bastard! His nonsense made me suffer for nothing!"
Bai Qing explained, "That’s not the reason, I mean I might be pregnant."
"Hmm?"
Last time in the hotel, there was indeed no precaution.
The reason is... there was none!
The hotel didn’t have any, Bai Qing didn’t bring any, couldn’t possibly go out again just for that.
Mainly because the atmosphere was right, didn’t want to restrain.
"Haven’t checked at the hospital yet, but it shouldn’t be wrong. It’s already risky today, might be cautious in the coming months."
"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
"Telling you wouldn’t have happened this time, didn’t want to miss your rare visit, soon to be New Year... Honey..."
"What’s up?"
"If I make you angry again, can you punish me hard like today?"
Last month, hearing Li Yang’s breakup talk, she really panicked.
Usually reaching the point of breakup indicates little nostalgia left.
Today, Li Yang reassured her once again.
"No!"
"Oooh, please, please..."
"No!"
"Then how do I get it?"
"Come home for New Year’s with me, we leave tomorrow, and once home, I’ll arrange for a doctor to examine you."
"Is it Jiang Banxia’s medical team? I don’t trust them, especially Jiang Banxia."
"What are you afraid of, didn’t I say last time, no need to fear her, I’m on your side."
"But...I feel like she can help you more, I can’t do much now, and I’m pregnant, might bring more trouble."
"No, I still love children very much, never feel they’re a bother. Just that my parents might be troubled, this time I’ll bring Yeye home to meet his grandparents."
