Chapter 166: The Meeting
“Doctor, it’s fine if you don’t change your clothes. Stronger parties never need any clothes to adorn them. Let’s go!”
Song Tiantian wet the comb and styled a very classic, domineering CEO slicked-back hairstyle.
Under the **enhancement** of this hairstyle, the pajamas didn’t seem so shabby anymore; it felt like the quality had improved a bit.
“Um, you must be the boss of the Pet Beast Center! Why do you meet everyone who comes to see you? That’s not good. So many people wanted to see me before, if I met them all one by one, I’m sure I would have been exhausted.”
Dr. Bai followed behind Song Tiantian, and after some hesitation, he finally said this.
Song Tiantian’s steps paused.
Immediately, Song Tiantian thought of a very good reason and said to Dr. Bai, “Well, when you were in charge, the Pet Beast Center lost a lot of money. Now, under my leadership, although it’s still loss-making, it’s not as much as before.”
She and Dr. Bai were different. Dr. Bai had a background and absolute strength, allowing him to maintain his low emotional intelligence and not care about social niceties.
Song Tiantian couldn’t. Song Tiantian’s strength wasn’t yet at that level, so some pleasantries were still necessary.
Moreover, this Song Ruyu was the legitimate daughter of the Song Family and the Director of the Capital City Enforcement Team. It was rumored that her strength had reached Eight-star Beast Tamer, only one step away from Nine-star Beast Tamer.
Song Ruyu was inherently excellent. Even if she weren’t Dr. Bai’s fiancée, if she personally came to visit Song Tiantian, Song Tiantian would have to see her.
Song Ruyu was wearing a military green uniform, looking heroic and spirited, completely different from what Song Tiantian had imagined. Song Ruyu wasn’t wearing makeup, but true beauties don’t need makeup. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains veiled in mist, her eyes like autumn water, and her lips were a slightly pale color because she hadn’t applied lipstick, appearing somewhat pale.
When Song Ruyu looked at Song Tiantian, Song Tiantian couldn’t help but feel a sense of shame.
She suddenly felt her own heart was a bit dark; she had actually thought Song Ruyu was there to cause trouble.
With just that glance, Song Tiantian was certain that Song Ruyu was here for a serious matter and definitely not to cause trouble.
“President Song, hello!”
This was the first time someone had called Song Tiantian “President,” and Song Tiantian was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
“Director Song, hello!”
Song Tiantian also addressed Song Ruyu by her position.
At this moment, Song Tiantian finally noticed Huang Xiaohua beside Song Ruyu. Huang Xiaohua looked at Song Ruyu with shining, dazzling eyes, which had turned into starry eyes. It was evident that Huang Xiaohua greatly admired Song Ruyu.
Song Ruyu came alone this time. Huang Xiaohua and Leng Qing were ordered by their superiors to receive Song Ruyu.
Dr. Bai did not greet Song Ruyu. He walked behind Song Tiantian, found a seat for himself, and then took out his thermos cup, sipping the hot tea inside.
“Dr. Bai, long time no see!”
After greeting Song Tiantian, Song Ruyu finally noticed Dr. Bai, who had come with Song Tiantian. She was actually very shocked.
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.
How could she possibly overlook Dr. Bai? But just now, she had indeed overlooked him and hadn’t noticed him.
At this moment, Dr. Bai had lost all the gloomy aura he once had. He wasn’t even wearing his refined yet wicked glasses. Dr. Bai wasn’t wearing glasses, but his gaze was gentle, and his cotton pajamas added a touch of softness to him.
His messy hair made him look like a gentle older brother next door. He didn’t exude any Spiritual Energy, appearing like an ordinary person.
However, if one didn’t see Dr. Bai’s physique, they would almost think he was an invisible person, lacking Spiritual Energy but also lacking any human presence.
Song Ruyu was actually afraid of seeing Dr. Bai.
She didn’t like Dr. Bai.
She had already broken off the engagement from her youth. She had tried to break it once and succeeded, but Dr. Bai later visited the Song family again, and the engagement was reinstated.
What made Song Ruyu happy was that Dr. Bai didn’t force her to marry him or force her to be with him.
After the engagement was reinstated, Dr. Bai never actively contacted her, never called her, never texted her, and never asked her out again.
In fact, Song Ruyu had only formally met Dr. Bai twice. The first time was to break off the engagement, but she didn’t go to his place in person.
However, the second time Dr. Bai came to the Song family, Song Ruyu met him. At that time, Song Ruyu thought that if she were to be with Dr. Bai, it wouldn’t be a disgrace to her.
This was Song Ruyu’s first meeting with Dr. Bai, and Song Ruyu had considered sacrificing herself for the family to be with Dr. Bai.
The second meeting was now.
Song Ruyu had never considered why Dr. Bai did this because her life was very busy, and she had many, many things to do. She wanted to protect the Song family and also protect Flower Country.
But she felt there was nothing wrong with this. Everyone knew Dr. Bai wasn’t a good person. As long as Dr. Bai didn’t propose marriage, she wouldn’t get married or find a partner, and would continue to live at the Song family, allowing her to cultivate more wholeheartedly.
At thirty years old, for an ordinary woman, there would be immense pressure. Not being married meant facing a lot of societal pressure and criticism from all sides.
However, for a Beast Tamer, thirty years old was still very young.
Especially since she had become an Eight-star Beast Tamer at thirty, possessing almost top-tier combat power.
She firmly believed she would become the next Nine-star Beast Tamer. It wasn’t just her who believed this; her family, subordinates, and everyone else also believed she would become the next Nine-star Beast Tamer.
“Long time no see, Song Ruyu. Actually, many years ago, I wanted to break off the engagement, but I was too busy and never had the time. Since you’re here today, it’s perfect. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”
In Dr. Bai’s eyes as he looked at Song Ruyu, there was not a trace of emotion.
The annoyance of his youth had long since faded with the passage of time.
Song Ruyu was a very excellent woman. When she was in school, her grades were exceptionally good, making her the most dazzling presence in the school.
She had a good background, a good appearance, and good talent, making her an excellent marriage prospect.
If he had wanted to get married back then, and Song Ruyu hadn’t broken off the engagement, he probably would have married her.
One could only say that everything is fate.
Ruyu, Ruyu, truly a beautiful woman like jade.
He felt more anger and indignation, thinking how could someone reject him, how dare someone reject him? If this marriage was to be broken off, only he could do it.
