Chapter 710: Chapter 313: In Life and Death, She is Xu Yun’s Woman

Since Xino didn’t know these people and wasn’t interested, she didn’t join Xu Yun and Fu Baoying to socialize. Instead, she and Lin Wanzhou ate their food, waiting for Xu Yun to finish.

As for the tycoons, after greeting Xu Yun, they didn’t linger. They simply left on their own accord partway through the event.

They didn’t even inform Zhang Jin and his wife, which was a breach of etiquette.

Zhang Jin and his wife didn’t mind. In fact, they didn’t dare to.

They understood that those people hadn’t come for them in the first place, but for Xu Yun.

It was just that the birthday banquet they had prepared for their elder had become a networking dinner for the tycoons and Xu Yun.

Finally, after greeting everyone, Xu Yun and Fu Baoying returned to their table.

Only then did Ruan Guohua have a chance to raise his glass and speak to him.

He smiled and said, “President Xu, you’ve been quite busy.”

“Everyone is just being too kind.”

Xu Yun said with a smile, “Young Master Ruan and I are good friends. Uncle, feel free to call me Xiaoxu. Otherwise, it feels too formal.”

“Alright.” Ruan Guohua was overjoyed to hear this.

He laughed heartily and said, “In that case, I’ll take the liberty of my age and call you Xiaoxu.”

“Mm.”

Xu Yun had Fu Baoying pour him another glass of wine. “Here, Uncle,” he said. “To our first meeting. I’ll toast to you.”

“Thank you.”

Ruan Guohua downed it in one go, then said with a laugh, “Ah, Xiaoxu, it’s Qingnian’s good fortune to be your friend, and our family’s good fortune as well.

This son of mine is a hopeless playboy. From now on, you’ll have to help me keep him in line. Otherwise, he’ll never amount to anything.”

“Dad, give me a break.”

Ruan Qingnian blushed and said, “Aside from eating, drinking, having fun, and spending some of your money, I’m not as terrible as you make me out to be, right?”

“Exactly. Young Master Ruan is a good guy. I wouldn’t be friends with him otherwise.”

Xu Yun said, “And I heard from Baoying that when Xiaozhi went missing, you immediately put all your effort into helping with the search.”

“We were just fumbling around in the dark. We didn’t find anything, so we weren’t any help at all.”

“Don’t say that. It’s the thought that counts.”

Xu Yun smiled reassuringly. “Trying to find a child in a place as big as Hong Kong Island is like finding a needle in a haystack. It’s incredibly difficult.”

Ruan Guohua was speechless. ‘Right, right. So when *we* search, it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. But when *you* search, it only takes a few minutes, is that it?!’

“Regardless, I’ll remember this favor.”

Xu Yun said, “If your family runs into any trouble in the future, you can mention it to Baoying. I’ll help if I can, but if I can’t, don’t hold it against me.”

“Brother Xu, what kind of person do you take me for?”

Ruan Qingnian jumped in to defend himself. “I helped look for Xiaozhi, but not because I wanted something in return. I genuinely like Xiaozhi, and I consider you a friend.”

“I know. I was just saying.”

Xu Yun said, “By the way, I’m planning to leave after dinner. We can get together again some other time.”

“So soon? You’re not staying for a few more days?”

“This was a last-minute trip. Now that I’ve finished my business here, it’s time to head back.”

Xu Yun added, “I’ve got a pile of things waiting for me back home.”

“Alright then.”

Ruan Qingnian said with a wink, “Next time you visit, we’ll go out on the boat for some real fun.”

After finishing his conversation with Ruan Qingnian’s family, Xu Yun got up and walked over to Zhang Jin and his wife.

The couple was currently chatting with friends from the entertainment industry.

After all, they hadn’t been able to get close to the circle of people schmoozing with Xu Yun earlier; they simply weren’t in the same league.

As he approached, everyone stood up in unison, greeting him politely and respectfully.

Xu Yun nodded and smiled at the group before turning to the couple with an apology. “Zhang Jin, Shaofen, I’m truly sorry about today. I feel bad for disrupting the birthday party.”

“Not at all, President Xu. You’re being too kind.”

Zhang Jin quickly replied, “If it weren’t for you, I probably would have gone my whole life without meeting so many influential people. The honor is all mine.”

“He’s right, President Xu.”

Cai Shaofen added with a smile, her Mandarin carrying a distinct accent, “You’re a great benefactor to the two of us.”

“Alright, I’ll keep it brief.”

Xu Yun said with a smile, “I’ll be heading out for the night. In the future, if you’re ever on the Mainland and need anything, just give me a call.”

“Okay, President Xu.”

With everything settled, Xu Yun turned and called over to Xino and Lin Wanzhou, who were still eating, and they all left.

「On the road.」

Xu Yun said simply, “To the airport. Time to go home.”

Fu Baoying already knew this was coming, but she couldn’t help but say reluctantly, “Why not head back tomorrow instead?”

“The sooner we leave, the better. I’d rather avoid any real trouble cropping up.”

‘Xu Yun was still a little worried about what happened at the abandoned factory.’

He said, “After I’m gone, you need to be careful. If you run into anything you can’t handle on your own, don’t do what you did this time. Tell me immediately, you hear?”

“I know.”

With Fu Baoying escorting them, Xu Yun and his group went straight to the airport.

His private jet was already waiting.

Xino was returning with Xu Yun as well.

As Fu Baoying watched, the jet disappeared into the night sky.

He came in a flash and left just as quickly.

But in those short two days, Fu Baoying had fallen completely and irrevocably in love with Xu Yun.

From this moment on…

In life, she was Xu Yun’s woman. In death, she would be his woman, too!
