Yu Shaoting sat for a while and then left. Bai Xiao walked him downstairs and stood at the study door from a distance, watching him turn around and drive away.
Bai Xiao was still wearing the thin blanket that Yu Shaoting brought from the small living room, in a bohemian style, wrapped around her delicate body. When the Range Rover passed by in front of her, the wind ruffled her long hair, and she raised her head
He hooked his hand behind his ear and stood at the door for a while before turning back to the study room.
Xiao Zhao was browsing Weibo in front of his laptop. Bai Xiao saw that she looked a little excited, paused and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"A young model who has just debuted has fallen in love with a wealthy businessman. She just showed off the ring on her hand on Weibo and was criticized by a large number of friends!"
Xiao Zhao turned around the notebook, and what appeared in Bai Xiao's sight was a selfie of a beautiful girl, and a huge diamond in her hand.
Bai Xiao was not interested in these entertainment gossip news, but smiled and prepared to go upstairs to read a book.
"Boss Boss, do you know him?" Xiao Zhao clicked on another photo and looked at Bai Xiao curiously.
She felt that with her boss's high status, the boss's wife should know many people in her circle, such as this one.
When Bai Xiao saw Pei Qiyou in the photo, she was stunned for a moment, and then her expression returned to normal. In the past, she would see news like this on the Internet almost every few days. Xiao Zhao added: "He is rich and handsome.
There are a lot of gossips, I’ve heard of him before, but isn’t he getting married?”
"Your circle is really chaotic." Xiao Zhao sighed, glanced at Bai Xiao, who was still there, and said hurriedly: "Of course, our boss is a good man."
Bai Xiao smiled and turned the computer over for her: "I'll go upstairs first. If anything happens, call me."
When she returned to the booth, it was a little hot. Bai Xiao pulled off the thin blanket on her body, poured herself another glass of boiling water, took a sip, and put down the cup.
If she was still unwilling and sad when she saw Pei Qiyou taking good care of Yu Yiwei, then now, when she sees the rumors about Pei Qiyou and other women, although she was stunned for a moment, besides being stunned, she is no longer stunned.
There are no other deeper mood swings.
Bai Xiao touched her belly. When she made the promise when she was young, she probably wouldn't have imagined that one day they would reach this point.
There will still be a future where we can hold hands and grow old together with you, but after all, the person next to you is no longer the half of the original one.
——————————
Pei Qiyou also saw the news on Weibo in the underground parking lot of Hongyuan. The first thing he did was to call the young model.
"Mr. Pei, I am also wronged. I am not to blame for the fact that we were photographed while eating. There were so many people at that time, and the paparazzi only photographed us. It was obviously intentional."
Pei Qiyou loosened his tie and said in a slightly impatient voice: "Then how do you explain the photo you sent?"
"I just took a selfie. As for the ring, I didn't say anything. It was all their own guess."
"I don't care what method you use, delete the photos immediately and make it clear to the media."
The young model was a little unhappy: "Mr. Pei, you are not someone who has never been on the page. This kind of news is made out of nothing... Besides, this can also increase your exposure."
Before she could finish her words, Pei Qiyou immediately cut her off and asked the company's public relations department to deal with the reports. He hung up the phone and threw the phone on the passenger seat aside. He felt vaguely irritated. In fact, even he himself didn't care.
I understand why we should care about these tidbits. It’s not like there have been more extreme cases before.
Coming up from the underground parking lot, the elevator door opened on a certain floor, and Pei Qiyou saw Yu Shaoting.
Yu Shaoting was standing with Mr. Hongyuan. When he saw Pei Qiyou in the elevator, his expression was very dull, and then he said goodbye to Mr. Hong.
As they entered and exited, the two men passed each other, neither of them paying attention to the other.
When the elevator door closed, the boss of Hongyuan patted Pei Qiyou on the shoulder: "Here you come? Everyone in the project department is waiting. Come on over."
But Pei Qiyou did not move, his eyes staring at the tightly closed elevator door for a moment.
——————————
Yu Shaoting picked up the car in the underground parking lot and left Hongyuan. Soon, he spotted the vehicle following him in the reflector.
It's not a reporter or paparazzi, he recognizes that license plate.
Yu Shaoting held the steering wheel with his right hand, lowered the window, put his left arm on the window sill, and drove the car leisurely, as if he didn't notice anything strange.
The car stopped in a remote open space, next to the mountain ring road.
Yu Shaoting got out of the car, leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette, but he didn't smoke. The wind was a bit strong at the top of the mountain and there was a lot of dust in the air. He heard the whistle and squinted his eyes to look over.
The Lexus has arrived.
When Pei Qiyou got off the car, Yu Shaoting also stood up straight and looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You followed me all the way, what do you want to say?"
Pei Qiyou had heard about Yu Shaoting when he was young. He was definitely not as handsome as he seemed on the surface. He had never thought about it carefully before, but now he has calmed down. There are some things that he has been wanting to ask him for confirmation. For example, he is very curious about what Yu Shaoting is.
Have you ever fallen in love with Bai Xiao?
In the dead of night, he would even think about whether Yu Shaoting was innocent or was he the driving force behind the situation he and Bai Xiao were in today?
Because I am unwilling to do so, I cannot turn a blind eye to these speculations.
"There are some questions that I haven't been able to figure out, so I want to ask you for help." The look on Pei Qiyou's face did not reflect the humility of these words.
Yu Shaoting didn't mind Pei Qiyou's attitude, but he did mind him a little. After all, Pei Qiyou was Bai Xiao's ex-husband.
A relationship of almost twenty years cannot be erased by simply erasing it.
If a man is cautious, he may even put a woman to shame. Yu Shaoting is not big-minded, but he never shows off his appearance.
Yu Shaoting flicked the cigarette in his hand and dropped a large piece of ash on the ground. There was no expression on his face. He just said lightly: "Whatever you want to ask, just ask directly, no need to beat around the bush."
"I want to know what role you played in the divorce between Bai Xiaohui and I."
Yu Shaoting raised his eyes and looked at him. After a long while, he said: "It's better to ask yourself this question than to ask me."
"..."
Pei Qiyou clenched his hands in his trouser pockets, with a mocking smile on his lips: "Don't you think it's a bit false to say this?"
"Bai Xiao doesn't know what kind of person you Yu San is. Why, I've heard others talk about it."
Yu Shaoting smiled nonchalantly, a very thin smile, obviously without much expression, but Pei Qiyou still felt the ridicule. He heard Yu Shaoting say: "You are right. What I like, if I
Wanted, never failed. Women, too."
Pei Qiyou looked at him coldly, because of his determined tone, his eyes were bloodshot, and anger was entrenched in his chest.
The joints of his fists clenched in his trouser pockets creaked, and he said in a cold voice: "Did you arrange Yu Yiwei's return to China?"
"Why, you regret it now, so you want to put all the blame on me?"
"Yes, I regret it." Pei Qiyou admitted directly, his eyes falling on the cluster of dandelions not far away, "I regret it." He said it again.
Yu Shaoting threw away the burnt cigarette butt, stomped out the sparks with his leather shoes, and put his hands into his trouser pockets: "What do you regret?"
What he said was true: "An old love and a new love, it's a good choice, isn't it?"
An old love or a new love, it’s a good choice, isn’t it?
This sentence was like a sharp slap on Pei Qiyou's face, especially Yu Shaoting's calm tone.
He chose a new love with a family background and gave up the old love that had been with him for many years. Analyzing it from a businessman's point of view, it was a wise choice.
Yu Shaoting opened the car door and glanced at him: "My niece is almost driven crazy by you now. You have to settle this account yourself."
Pei Qiyou looked at the black Range Rover driving away, turned around, and slapped his hand hard on the tree trunk next to him.
Suddenly, the wounds on the palms of my hands were mottled and bleeding.
He stood there, his eye circles gradually turning red, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes, and there was a suspicious glimmer of water.
——————————
Here, Yu Sanshao, who had already met his love rival, drove the car directly to the bookstore without returning to the company.
On the way, I called Bai Xiao: "Take care of yourself, I'll pick you up."
Bai Xiao was sorting out her books and looked at the time, "It's only half past four, which is a bit early. Isn't the company busy today?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to take Jing Xi to eat seafood?"
Bai Xiao pursed her lips: "Didn't someone say they don't have time?" The little guy likes to eat seafood, and during this period, he was very greedy.
The man on the other end of the phone chuckled lightly. Bai Xiao could tell that he must be in a very good mood at the moment. He didn't know if he had signed a big contract. Then, he said, "I'll be there in fifteen minutes."
, dress up a little and hang up."
Fifteen minutes later, the black Range Rover drove downstairs of the bookstore. Bai Xiao came out and saw the man inside through the half-down window.
Yu Shaoting didn't get out of the car. When Bai Xiao got up and fastened his seat belt, he couldn't help but ask: "What's good today?"
He didn't say anything, but when she lowered her head to fasten her seat belt and raised her head, he leaned over, kissed her lips, and then started the car: "Go pick up Jing Xi."
Such a kind and cheerful look is really... rare.
On the way, Yu Shaoting called Xiaoliang's driver and asked him not to pick up the children from school. By the way, he told Aunt Li that there was no need to prepare dinner.
When the car drove to the gate of a small school, Bai Xiao noticed with sharp eyes that Yu Jingxi was carrying a big schoolbag and swinging a light stick in his hand, gathering with a group of children.
It was time for school to end and there was no parking space, so Yu Shaoting had to park his car on the side of the road while Bai Xiao got out of the car and went to bring the child over.
As soon as Bai Xiao approached, she heard Yu Jingxi bragging: "My dad has changed his car. Do you know what brand it is?"
"What brand?" Wu Liaoming asked cooperatively.
Bai Xiao slowed down and waited for the little guy's answer with a smile. The little guy raised his eyebrows and said, "Tiger Range Rover!"
"..." Bai Xiao almost laughed out loud, Land Rover, Tiger, they are all tigers.
"Jing Xi, your mother is here!" A child shouted immediately when he saw Bai Xiao.
Yu Jingxi turned his head and saw that it was indeed Bai Xiao. His ears turned red. He said goodbye to the other friends and came over coquettishly: "Why are you here?"
"Where's Dad?" He said, looking around with his little head.
Bai Xiao took the little guy's fat little hand and said, "Wait in front. There is no place to park here. I will take you to eat seafood today."
When the little guy heard that there was seafood to eat, he jumped up and down happily, got in the car, and called "Daddy" affectionately.
Yu Shaoting's attitude towards his son has always been lukewarm. He can't do what other fathers and sons do. He takes his son over and puts him on his lap. They play with each other and then say "I love you" and "I love you too" in a disgusting way.
'In the conversation, when my son called me, I just said 'hmm' lightly.
Bai Xiao sat in the back with her son, looking at her naughty and active son, and then at the dull man in front of her. Yu Jingxi's stinky way when she showed off her wealth was definitely not inherited from her, so...she suddenly asked Yu Shaoting:
"What was it like when you were a child?"
"..." Yu Shaoting drove the car and seemed reluctant to answer this question.
Yu Jingxi, on the other hand, told Bai Xiao earnestly: "I know, grandpa said that dad was very bad when he was a child, and his butt was beaten every day!"
When Bai Xiao heard this answer, he felt it was amazing. There was no sign of mischief in Yu Shaoting now.
When they arrived at the restaurant and got off the bus, Bai Xiao asked herself for confirmation: "Is what Jing Xi said true?"
"How were you when you were a child?" Yu Shaoting asked her instead of answering.
Bai Xiao thought about it. When she was a child, she basically didn't do anything to worry about, and her situation didn't allow her to get into trouble like other children.
Thinking of the two love letters he found in Yu Jingxi's schoolbag the day before yesterday, Bai Xiao sighed. Now that the little guy's temper has calmed down, he is actually being pursued by girls.
Yu Jingxi ran into the restaurant early. She was familiar with the restaurant and obviously came here often.
Bai Xiao took Yu Shaoting's arm, told him about the love letter, and asked him: "Did you also attract girls like this when you were studying?"
"What about you? Did a lot of people like you when you were in school?"
Bai Xiao discovered that Yu Shaoting always used questions to prevaricate her, but in fact, he himself did not answer any questions.
Just when she was about to say that he was cunning, she looked up and realized that the gaze of the man next to her was on her face, as if she was being roasted to death.
She instantly thought of Zheng Qi's incident, and Bai Xiao thought to herself that Yu Shaoting must have done it on purpose and liked to use her words to silence her.
The two of them did not continue the topic. They entered the restaurant, ordered the menu, and came out after finishing their meal. It was already almost 7:30 pm.
——————————
When she got home, Bai Xiao wanted to wash her hair. She didn't have the habit of going to a salon to have her hair washed. In her opinion, these things could be done by herself.
The man who was going to the study saw her taking off her headband and walking in and out of Jiajia with a towel, and said, "I'll help you."
Bai Xiao was a little surprised and glanced at the bathroom. Yu Shaoting had already snatched the towel from her hand and took the lead in dragging it in.
There was the sound of water being discharged from the bathroom. Yu Shaoting was filling the basin with water. He was squatting there with his shirt sleeves raised high, but his posture made it hard to tell that he had washed someone's hair. Bai Xiao walked over and said
: "I'd better wash it myself. Don't you have something else to do?"
No matter what she said, Yu Shaoting was determined to wash her hair, put out the water, and took the bench for her to sit down.
Bai Xiao sat down, lowered her head, and cooperatively soaked her long hair into the basin, but she felt a little uneasy. She always felt that this would be a very tangled process.
Yu Shaoting wet her hair completely, poured some shampoo into the palm of his hand, and then rubbed it into Bai Xiao's hair with gentle and careful movements.
After a while, water got into Bai Xiao's eyes, which made her very uncomfortable. Her collar was also wet. She stretched out her hand and said, "Give me a towel."
Yu Shaoting looked at his foamy hands. He didn't like to be interrupted in the middle of doing things, and he didn't like washing his hair. He frowned. He didn't want to go out and wash his hands just to get a towel, so he called out "Yu Jingxi". Soon, Xiao
The guy ran in and said, "What's going on?"
Yu Shaoting summoned his son, just like the subordinates in the company, handing him towels and pouring water.
Yu Jingxi was also very cooperative, standing by with a bun in hand, ready for help at any time.
Most of Bai Xiao's shirt was wet, and her eyes hurt from the shampoo. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Help me rinse the foam off my head. My eyes hurt."
When she cried out that it hurt, Yu Shaoting was a little angry at Yu Jingxi: "How do you manage the water?"
The little guy hurriedly opened the hood, and with a bang, water spurted out and poured everywhere. Bai Xiao couldn't see it and knocked over the basin.
Finally, Bai Xiao's cry came from the bathroom: "Did you, father and son, have any grudge against me in your previous life, and are you going to treat me like this in this life?"
