The bathroom door opened, and the person outside the door obviously didn't expect such a scene inside. For a moment, he held the doorknob and held it at the door.
Bai Xiao was still hugging Yu Shaoting. When she saw Yu Zhongxiao in home clothes, she was really startled. She subconsciously took her hand off Yu Shaoting's shoulder. For a moment, she felt that she was going to die, but then came another
A paradoxical sense of relief.
Unlike Bai Xiao's nervousness, Yu Shaoting didn't feel any weird at all and still held her, as if he didn't see Yu Zhongxiao at the door.
Time seems to have stopped at this moment.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Yu Zhongxiao's face, and he realized that he might have disturbed others. He moved his eyes away and closed the door again and went out.
Just as Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, the door opened again. Yu Zhongxiao looked at Yu Shaoting: "Shaoting, come out with me."
——————————
In the guest room next to the bathroom, Yu Shaoting followed Yu Zhongxiao in and closed the door.
Yu Zhongxiao looked back at him with a complicated expression and frowned. He really didn't know what the hell this younger brother was doing.
Yu Shaoting sat down beside the bed, crossed his long legs, and said calmly: "Ask whatever you want to ask."
"What's going on? You and this Teacher Bai..."
Yu Shaoting glanced sideways at his brother and replied a little casually: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"..." Yu Zhongxiao also knows this younger brother. Although Yu Shaoting has behaved coldly and dignifiedly over the years, and seems to be very gentlemanly, Yu Zhongxiao still has not forgotten Yu Shaoting's extremely bad virtues when he was a child. "Are you and Teacher Bai the same?
Have you been together for a long time?"
Yu Shaoting didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"Last time I met her in Yunnan, she said she was not your girlfriend at that time, but now...is she that -"
"Yes." Yu Shaoting interrupted Yu Zhongxiao directly. He knew what Yu Zhongxiao wanted to ask.
Yu Zhongxiao was not interfering in his younger brother's private affairs, but some things had gradually become clear in his mind, which made him surprised and confused: "Just before you and dad came, I saw Yiwei's boyfriend forcing her to
Pulled into the bathroom."
"Then why didn't you stop me?"
"..." Yu Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment and was speechless at Yu Shaoting's "willful" rhetorical question.
Yu Shaoting stood up: "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first."
"If your parents knew that she was the divorced woman, they wouldn't agree to you being together." Especially since her ex-husband is Yiwei's future husband.
Yu Shaoting raised his eyelids, "So what if you don't agree? I can live without a wife, as long as they are willing to let Jing Xi live without a mother."
Yu Zhongxiao frowned: "What does this have to do with Jing Xi? If Dad is determined and refuses to agree, it will be useless even if you ask Jing Xi to be a lobbyist."
"What if I told you that Bai Xiao is Jing Xi's biological mother?"
Yu Zhongxiao looked at Yu Shaoting and knew that this was not a lie, but he still couldn't accept it immediately: "Then Shuyuan..."
"She lost her fertility after the car accident on her wedding day. She died in a plane crash when she secretly returned to China to see the surrogate mother she had hidden."
But in just one sentence, the truth has been exposed to the public.
Yu Shaoting looked at his watch: "Jing Xi is almost here."
Yu Zhongxiao took his brother's elbow, frowned, and was a little worried: "What do you want to do?"
"What can I do? My son misses his biological mother. Come and have a look."
Yu Zhongxiao: "..."
————————————
Bai Xiao didn't know what Yu Shaoting would say to Yu Zhongxiao, so she was a little worried and stayed in the bathroom for a while before going out.
After walking a few steps, I saw Pei Qiyou.
Pei Qiyou's eyes fell directly on Bai Xiao's face. His facial features had not changed much, but they no longer felt aggrieved. There was a look of shyness between his eyebrows in his eyes. Under the light, his jade bones and icy muscles were shining.
Her lips were red and her teeth were white, almost matching the Bai Xiao in his memory.
In the past five years or so, the faint tiredness on her body has disappeared. I wonder if it is because her mentality has changed?
"Did you get hurt just now?" Pei Qiyou stepped forward, lowered his head slightly, and saw Bai Xi's neck and fluffy ears.
Bai Xiao didn't want to talk to him, but Pei Qiyou didn't have the consciousness to get out of the way. She had no choice but to look up at him and said, "Can you please let me go?"
Pei Qiyou's brows gradually wrinkled: "Is it interesting to stay here like this?"
"That's my own business. It seems it's not your turn to accuse me."
"What's your matter? So even if you are humiliated like that by Yu Shaoting, you still can't bear this position and don't want to leave?"
There was a hint of anger in Pei Qiyou's eyebrows, but Bai Xiao didn't know why he was so angry. Isn't it ridiculous to defend her against injustice?
"Just think of me as vain and self-indulgent. Even if I am humiliated and abandoned in the future, I won't need your sympathy."
After Bai Xiao finished speaking, she walked past him. Pei Qiyou's hand moved slightly, but he did not hold her.
Halfway through, Bai Xiao met Yu Yiwei again, as if he was looking for someone. When he saw her, he stopped and said specifically: "My brother-in-law doesn't like you!"
"Really?" Bai Xiao replied with a faint smile, which looked more like sarcasm in Yu Yiwei's eyes.
Yu Yiwei went straight to the bathroom with an angry face.
————————————
Bai Xiao returned to the restaurant and found that only Yu Zhanming and Mrs. Yu were left at the table.
As soon as Mrs. Yu saw her, she put down her chopsticks and came over to apologize and explain: "The mistress just said that he was careless."
Bai Xiao smiled: "It's not entirely his fault, I didn't pay attention to it myself."
When Yu Zhanming heard this, he couldn't help but look at Bai Xiao twice, but said nothing.
Mrs. Yu felt relieved when she saw that Bai Xiao really didn't take it seriously. She scolded Yu Shaoting again in her heart, and she liked Bai Xiao a little more. She squinted and raised her chin to look at Yu Zhanming, which seemed to mean: "
I said this girl is great, but I still don’t believe it, what a tolerant and generous person she is!”
Yu Zhanming snorted lightly and picked up the soup next to him.
Not long after, the chair next to Bai Xiao was pulled away, and she turned her head and saw Yu Shaoting sitting on her left with a normal expression.
Immediately afterwards, other people returned to the restaurant one after another.
"Mistress, give Xiaoxiao a bowl of soup." Mrs. Yu suddenly spoke.
Pei Qiyou, who had just sat down, looked at the two people sitting side by side across from him and paused inexplicably. Yu Yiwei next to him looked at him with gloating. His uncle had just thrown Bai Xiao to the ground, but grandma actually dared to let him serve soup.
, and I’m not afraid that my uncle will spill soup on that woman’s face.
When she saw Yu Shaoting filling a bowl of soup and placing it next to Bai Xiao, and saying "be careful when it's hot", Yu Yiwei's pride was replaced by surprise.
Doesn't my brother-in-law hate this woman? Yu Yiwei glared angrily at Bai Xiao opposite her, suddenly losing her appetite.
Pei Qiyou looked coldly at the attentive Yu Shaoting opposite, with a shadow in his eyes.
Bai Xiao looked at the soup at hand, and out of politeness, said "thank you" in front of everyone.
Yu Shaoting picked up the wine glass and was about to drink when he heard her say a soft thank you. He turned his head to look at her. His pair of narrow black eyes were particularly deep under the shining light. A little halo dyed the bottom of his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "
You're welcome."
Yu Zhongxiao, who was sitting next to the two of them, had complicated eyes. Others couldn't see it, but he could see it clearly——
Under the table, Yu Shaoting had put one hand on Bai Xiao's leg and pinched her left hand.
Bai Xiao didn't expect Yu Shaoting to be so bold. She struggled a little, but he held her tighter. The heat from the man's palm spread to her blood through the back of his hand. Sitting diagonally to her right was Yu Zhanming. As long as he
You can see it at a glance…
Yu Zhanming has been in the army for fifty years, but he never noticed that Bai Xiao's eyes were erratic, often looking towards him, frowning and looking over: "Why are you sneaking around!"
Bai Xiao was struck by Yu Zhanming's sharp eyes and didn't know how to respond, but her face quickly turned red.
Old Mrs. Yu nudged Chief of Staff Yu with her elbow: "I said, why are you doing this again? If you want to be cruel, go to your soldiers!"
After saying that, the old lady looked at Bai Xiao reassuringly: "Don't be afraid of him, he's just a bad old man!"
Bai Xiao twitched the corners of her lips, the blush on her face never went away, and her heart was beating loudly.
The man's calloused fingers gently groped her knuckles, one after another, but Yu Shaoting's face remained as usual, but suddenly he picked up the wine glass, looked at Pei Qiyou opposite and raised it, as if to
Toast, but in Pei Qiyou's eyes it was a naked provocation.
Pei Qiyou didn't know why he regarded Yu Shaoting's action as a "provocation", but he still raised his glass in return.
Halfway through the meal, Bai Xiao looked back almost immediately as the crisp children's voice came closer and closer.
Yu Jingxi ran in lively. She had already changed into a formal suit and a red bow tie. She wore an Englund-style short cashmere coat, a pair of round-toe leather shoes, and her curly hair was carefully styled.
After taking care of him, the scent of his gel water lingered in the air along the way.
Bai Xiao was surprised that Yu Jingxi would come here at this time, and turned around to silently ask the man next to him.
Yu Shaoting didn't look at her, but said to Yu Jingxi calmly: "Why don't you call someone when you're here?"
Yu Jingxi glanced at Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting, who were sitting together, and curled his lips, but soon he sweetly called the people at the table. As soon as Yu Zhanming saw this grandson, he immediately lost his dignity and said to Yu Jingxi
Waved: "Come, let's have dinner with grandpa."
Old Mrs. Yu took Yu Zhanming's hand and told Aunt Zhang next to her: "Move a chair and put it next to the mistress."
Aunt Zhang was worthy of being Mrs. Yu’s confidant. She immediately moved the chair between Bai Xiao and Yu Shaoting with great discernment. Their hands had already been released when Mrs. Yu asked them to move the chair. When Yu Jingxi climbed on the chair,
He raised his eyebrows and looked at the two people on his left and right.
Aunt Zhang brought a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks, and Bai Xiao subconsciously stood up to take them, and then served Yu Jingxi a bowl of hot soup.
Unexpectedly, the little guy picked up the bowl she drank from and put it into his mouth with a slurp.
Yu Jingxi drank most of the bowl of soup, her little face turned red and she burped. Bai Xiao took a tissue to wipe the soup from the corner of his mouth. He grabbed her wrist with his small fleshy hands and leaned her head towards her.
She wiped it on the tissue randomly, and in the end, most of the people were relying on her.
Bai Xiao's soft and smooth face made her heart feel like honey, and she helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Is it very hot?"
Yu Jingxi glared at her: "You came here to eat without notifying me!"
"Why are you so rude to your teacher?" Yu Shaoting frowned and glanced at his son, lecturing him seriously.
Yu Jingxi rolled her eyes at him, leaned against Bai Xiao again, and shook her head.
Yu Shaoting withdrew his gaze from the "mother and son", glanced at the others one by one, and tugged at his thin lips: "It's so tight that you guys are laughing."
Pei Qiyou looked at Yu Shaoting coldly.
Yu Zhongxiao, who already knew everything, could clearly feel the undercurrent between the two men sitting face to face at the dinner table. At the same time, Yu Zhongxiao couldn't help but look at Bai Xiao a few more times, especially when he was sitting with Jing Xi.
Together, I feel more and more that the two of them have a "mother-son relationship".
Bai Xiao found that Yu Jingxi was as hot as a small stove, so he helped him unbutton his coat and rolled up his somewhat long sleeves.
Yu Jingxi ate corn by himself and let Bai Xiao "do whatever he wanted" to him.
The old lady was beaming. In the past, none of the women she had brought to her mistress for blind dates had not been punished by Yu Jingxi, and she had never seen him behave so well in front of anyone. Now seeing Yu Jingxi so close to Bai Xiao, the old lady sighed inwardly. It is estimated that this year
You can get things done!
After dinner, Chief of Staff Yu got off the table and called Yu Jingxi to the study: "Grandpa wants to write, Jingxi is here to help grandpa sharpen his ink."
Yu Jingxi looked at Bai Xiao and discussed with Yu Zhanming: "Grandpa, why don't you let Xiaobai help you sharpen it?"
Yu Zhanming glared angrily: "She is grinding ink for me, why are you going?"
"I..." Yu Jingxi scratched his head, "I want to watch cartoons later!"
Yu Zhanming couldn't allow him to refuse, so he picked him up and went to the study.
Bai Xiao's eyes followed Yu Jingxi's squirming little body. He didn't look back until the study door was closed. However, he inadvertently met Pei Qiyou's eyes. Even Yu Yiwei next to him cast a resentful look at her. She also
I really don’t know why I offended them.
Mrs. Yu had never been so happy when Yu Shaoting got married. She enthusiastically greeted the others to the living room just after dinner.
——————————
Yu Jingxi stood on the bench next to the desk, holding the ruler in his chubby hand and spinning it around in the inkstone. His round eyes kept looking at the door, and his little ears stood up. He listened to every move outside, and then there was something on the back of his hand.
After a spanking, "Ouch!"
Yu Zhanming squinted at Yu Jingxi's wrinkled face: "If you don't pay attention to your work, you have the same virtue as your father when he was a child!"
Yu Jingxi pursed her lips, glanced at the rice paper a few times, and found that there was an idiom that he recognized. He pointed at the word and said, "Grandpa, you wrote it wrong!"
"Where?" Yu Zhanming put on his glasses and took the post to compare. He was a little embarrassed when a child told him that he had made a typo.
Yu Jingxi moved the bench in front of Yu Zhanming, stood on it again, and scratched on the rice paper with a ruler. The word "sick" was beautifully circled. The little guy lay on the rice paper and seriously wrote "
The word "high" means: "Grandpa, this is the right time."
Yu Zhanming: "..."
Yu Jingxi received another blow on the forehead. The little guy wailed and covered his red forehead with his little hands.
Yu Zhanming didn't really call him in just to let him sharpen his ink. When he saw that it was almost done, he asked casually while writing: "Do you often contact this Teacher Bai?"
Yu Jingxi nodded repeatedly, remembering what his father had told him, and knew what to say and what not to say.
Yu Zhanming glanced at him: "Has your father known this Teacher Bai before?"
"Sometimes I go to Xiaobai...teacher's house, and my father comes to pick me up."
With the current family background of the Yu family, I don’t know how many women are willing to marry in, even for a widower with a child like the third child. Therefore, I am still not at ease with this teacher Bai Yu Zhanming. If he gets married, he will abuse his grandson.
But what should I do? It will be too late to regret it by then.
Yu Zhanming put down his brush with a serious expression, "Jing Xi, if your father wants to marry this Teacher Bai, will you agree?"
"Promise." Yu Jingxi answered almost without any thought, "Although she is a stepmother, she is still very good to me."
After hearing this, Yu Zhanming didn't ask any more questions. After a while, he waved his hand to Yu Jingxi: "You can go out."
Yu Jingxi skillfully placed the ruler on the edge of the inkstone, jumped off the bench, walked two steps and suddenly turned around: "Grandpa, you don't want to drive Xiaobai away, do you?"
The child's dark and clean eyes touched Yu Zhanming's hard heart, and he touched his grandson's head: "Grandpa, don't rush."
